Speaker 1 (00:47):
Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio, LeVar Arrington,
Jonas Knox with you here.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
No, Brady Quinn.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
They'll be back on the show at some point this
week after he's done being suspended. All right, I don't
have to tell you. We test around here for peds
and you piss hot, you get popped. That's the way
this stuff works. So he'll be back eventually at some
point here, probably celebrating with the in laws. They are
big time boss and Celtic fans, so we will have

rap and we do it all live from the tire

Tire rack dot com the way tire buying should be.
I'd also like to say this, there's a lot of
angry people out there, bitter people. They're Lakers fans who
(01:37):
are upset about the fact that the tie has been
broken and now these Celtics have more championships than the
LA Lakers do. There's some problems here though. A you
had to borrow some from Minneapolis, and B you're counting
the one from the bubble.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Right off the bat.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
You're down five and a half, like right off the bat,
like that, like so, so you subtract that from the
overall total, and the lead is actually much larger than
I think a lot of people want to admit. So
that's got to be clarified. We've got to clear that up.
And I'm glad that we just did here.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Well, the Celtics just took the I mean they had
it anyway, right, Oh yeah, yeah, so they just length
extended it. And that doesn't look like the Lakers are
going to have to or anybody's going to have to
worry about that debate for you know, in the foreseeable future.
I mean, I'm like, look, I mean, they're they're they're
(02:37):
probably going to draft Bronni Like if you, I hope so, man,
They're probably their first pick to draft Bronnie James. So
I mean, they're clearly building towards the future, not not
the here.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Now, you can't take from the previous owner and then
claim that it's yours.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
It just doesn't work that way. I mean Dan Snyder
tried to do that with Cook that didn't really pan
out very well.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Look for an example, if you buy a house and
the previous owners had a pool table in the house,
but you tore it down and then built it back up,
you can't claim that you had a pool table. It
was the previous owners and it's no longer there.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Technically, if the pool table was still there when you
bought the home and then you tore it down, you.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Could, yeah, but if their last names engraved on the
pool table, they don't get to claim it.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Oh oh, there's a lot of names on things that you
buy that are of a family that you know.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I had a buddy whose parents sold their house. Their
name was engraved on the pool table. Whoever bought that
house that ain't yours? That's there.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I'm saying. If it had Johnson's and johnson you know
products in the house and you use them, that's still
not yours because you know it had another name on it,
you know, in the house.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yeah, but we're talking about ownership of championship titles here,
not cotton swamp.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
You were talking about pool table.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah, but it's like you're trying to claim something that
ain't yours. Who's trying to claim Laker fans in LA
and trying to claim then and the bubble that's a
that's not a full championship, that's a half. In fact,
I have it on good authority that those rings aren't
even like full rings. They're actually like elastic on the
(04:22):
bottom half because they couldn't even get like the full
like gold or diamond whatever they do with championship.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
All I'm gonna say is I played for an organization
that brought I think I'm not sure if they brought
championships or not, but they came from Boston. I don't
know if people realize that that the Washington Now Commanders
were a team that was in Boston when they first
started out. They weren't. They weren't the Washington team. So
(04:54):
whatever accomplishments that they had when they were in Boston,
that that transferred over into the see well and now
as a part of our history of the franchise. So
I don't know how that all works, Jonas, But I'm
just saying, if you buy the house, then you get
(05:15):
all the assets associated with it, unless the owners that
sold the house take their possessions that they wanted to
take and go to the next house. I would say,
it's more like, if I'm trying to help your cause
and your your argument, it would be like if I
left my championship trophies. You know, well I never won
(05:38):
championships but well high school. But if I left my
if I left my personal awards in the home, and
you bought the home and the awards were still in
the home, great call right there, right, Ye okay, now
you brought you bought the house, and the awards technically
belonged to you because they're in the home. I left
(06:00):
them in the home and you brought the home, you
bought the home, but those aren't your awards. You didn't
accomplish that. Yeah, that's where you're going. Yeah, that's what
you're going for.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Great point, and listen, you know, like I want to,
I can help you out. I want a family horseshoe
tournament back in two thousand.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Trophy.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, there's a damn trophy. And if you left and
if somebody comes and buys that house, guess what, you
didn't win that, all right, And if you try and
claim it, you're la trying to claim Minneapolis, And it's
a disgrace.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I get where you're coming from, but I don't know
who cares. Doesn't even matter, But I'll do it. For
our coverage for the NBA Finals, we didn't even bring
up the finals.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Do you want to hear Jason Tatum post if we're
going to play two clips?
Speaker 3 (06:45):
All right?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
One of them is being criticized, the other, you know,
is him celebrating after I think he's probably had a
couple of cocktails at this point in the locker room.
He was talking with the media and just discussing sort
of the I guess issues that people have had with him.
Or the Celtics and coming up short and all the
other criticisms they've heard. Here was Jason Tatum talking postgame.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
It's a real feeling. I still hasn't really kicked in yet.
Just try and I guess enjoyed the moment. I kept saying, Wow,
these last seven years have been a roller coaster up
and down. I had to listen on it about me
and tonight it was worth it.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Oh my god, this.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Is at the top of the mountain to be able
to say we did it. We came together and we
won a championship. Man at number eighteen has been hanging
over our head for so many years to know that
we're going to be engraved in history, and it still
hasn't like registered. I'm just still trying to process it all.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
So Jason Tatum post game that was off to Miami
for him celebrate with the rest of the team.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I know what that feels like too. I didn't get
any retribution for it, you know. I wasn't able to say, oh, well,
we got a Super Bowl and I could tell everybody
to kiss my ass. But I get where he's coming from.
For certain when when people have strong things to say
about you, when expectations are high, and you have such
(08:09):
high expectations and people don't People don't see the good
in what you do. They just see the shortcomings and
the failures of it. And that's what's generally reported and
what's talked about, you know, and that's more intriguing and interesting.
(08:29):
It's so crazy to me that the biggest breaking news,
like if you ever really think about what people really
really pay attention to, Like when it's like that big
moment of breaking news, right, if it was like breaking
news of I don't know, like something positive and I
(08:52):
can't think of a good example, but I can think
of a great example of if there was like the
old Jay Simpson deal, like the police are chasing a
major news You'll stop everything to show this man in
a truck getting trailed by police cars. I can remember
when Michael Jackson passed away and how that that you know,
(09:15):
the coverage of that, you know what that was like.
It's like, tragedy and negativity are the biggest, most consumable
pieces of information and news that our general public subscribed to.
And it's like when there's like that high speed chase
(09:37):
on on television or a standoff, you know, are they
going to shoot. Are they going to show the person
getting shot up? Are they going to show how the
you know, you remember when the dude, You remember when
the dude was driving and they're like get it off
of them, get it off of them, go oh gosh,
And they didn't get it off of him in time,
and he like off hisself, like right on, Live Tell division.
(10:00):
Like that's the stuff that people are into. So there's
this idea that like things that happen positive aren't really
it doesn't sell, it doesn't grab people's attention. Like even
with all of this Caitlin Clark stuff going on, it's
really it's rod it's really rooted in negativity, you know,
(10:22):
And I don't know that why that's our culture and
why that's that's something that you know, even like Eddie'll
give us an update coming up, right and you know what,
we'll talk about how how many dudes then got jacked up?
Like Mookie Betts is big news right now because his
hand got broke off, you know what I mean, Like
it's like broken hand. I mean, yeah, he saw the
(10:46):
way that ball hit his hand. He might need a
gold hand. I just I just think that good for
good for someone whether it's sports and in real life,
Good for you if you had detractors, if you saw
how people treated you and talked about you and handle
things with you because they thought you were lesser because
(11:09):
you weren't able to achieve what people thought you were
going to achieve or wanted you to achieve, or maybe
something that you said you were setting out to achieve
and maybe you hadn't achieved it. That man said seven
years took him seven years to get to this point,
good for him, and and you know what, shots out
to him for having the opportunity to actually be able
(11:30):
to say to the people, you know what y'all said
this and y'all said that about me wasn't positive. It
was it was really you guys taking jabs and shots
at me all along, and then now finally I did
something that you know, was great that really gave me justification.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
It's the one thing I can't stand, and it's going
to happen this week, and it's gonna happen today, is
that people are going to do the whole legacy talk thing.
What's so and So's legacy, what bro your legacy is
what it is after you're done playing like there's going
to be people that are going to look at this
and go, man, not a great showing from Kyrie and
(12:09):
from Luca, and especially you know, you'll look at Luca
and go, well, you know, he came up short, they
lost in five games.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
What if this is his only shot? Who knows?
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Man, Like, he's twenty five years old, Tatum's twenty six.
These are young guys. Like, if you want to talk
about legacy, a year ago, at this time, people were
laughing at the Celtics for giving Jalen Brown three hundred
million dollars after he came up short in game seven
when Tatum got injured in the Eastern Conference Finals. That
dude just won Eastern Conference Finals MVP and NBA Finals MVP.
(12:43):
That was less than a year ago. So like whatever,
like the idea that you take this one moment and
you go, oh, that's what we're going to be discussing
when they're playing. Days are over, dude, Luca could go
on and win two or three more titles. Kyrie could
win a title with Luca, and all of this is
a distant memory.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
People aren't going to remember.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
You know.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
The interesting thing about BS coverage and negativity and coverage
is people don't remember it unless it's significant, Like people
will remember Jason Williams shooting his rock Wilder, you know
what I mean, Like you might not remember anything else
about his career, that he was a pretty dog on
(13:26):
good basketball player, white chocolate or not. The other one.
You know, the shot is the driver. I don't remember
he shot. They said he shot is Rockwiler too, because
he wasn't mean enough or something. I don't. I don't know.
I remember it. That'll fix him. Oh you don't want
to be a good guard dog, get another one, Jesus, really?
(13:49):
I think so?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Can we fact check that? We don't want to give
out any reckless information here on this show.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
I reckless?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Well, you know, people get very sensitive about certain things.
You know, he's just based on our w NBA takes yesterday.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
People were not.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
So what we're not We're not thrilled, So we got
to We're just fact checking whether or not Jason Williams
shot his dog.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I mean it was the honest to goodness, I thought
it was a rottweiler. Shot his own, shot own pet.
Months before chauffeur slaying Williams heartless heartlessness shot his own rotwiler,
boom to death after losing one hundred dollars bet with
(14:36):
a basketball buddy, just six months before fatally shooting a
limo driver. A prosecute A prosecutor claim yesterday, huh and
and I remember. And the point is is I remember it.
I remember this, I remember the breed of the dog.
I remember it like because it was tragic. So I
(14:59):
falled vic them to the same as that that I'm
talking about that us as a culture in a society,
what we consume. But had Jay Williams like think about this?
Can you name the person that was allegedly when he
was charged for it with ray Lewis at the Super
(15:20):
Bowl the year before he goes and wins the Super
Bowl and is the MVP. Can you name the guy's name?
I cannot, Okay, but I can tell you that Jason
Williams shot of Rottweiler.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
By the way, LeVar Arrington College Football Hall of Famer,
Dead dog Insider here on FS did dog did dog
walking hanging with Boss Hogg? I did not have a
shot Rottweiler making it into our finals recap for the show.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
All I'm saying is Jason Tatum winning a I mean,
if I was an avid sports fan. I mean, as
an avid sportsman, I was able to apply it to
it to an athlete, Hey, you know what, get a
more entertaining finals. Don't play us. You ain't lying. I
(16:13):
mean when you when you accomplish greatness. That's what people remember.
If I say, who won the two thousand Super Bowl?
What are you gonna say? Do you remember? Raven's a Raven?
Who was the best player on that team? Ray Lewis
hands down? Who won the MVP? Ray Lewis. Okay, now
(16:37):
you may remember that ray Lewis was a part of
a situation where a man lost his life the year before,
but you don't remember that guy's name because the tragedy
was now superseded and really kind of like wiped away
by the success that took place only a year later.
(16:57):
If it had been two, three, four years later, it
would have been wiped away. People will remember the successes
in the end more than they remember. They'll say, they'll
remember that it happened, but they're not going to remember
the details of it. People will remember that Jason Tatum struggled.
They won't remember how many years They really won't unless
(17:18):
you're like a real historian of the game. You won't
remember all the years that it took for him to
get there. You won't remember all of the losses that
he took, or how many he took in each one
of those playoff runs where they came up short. You'll
remember that he didn't get it right away. Just like
we say with Jordan, You'll remember that he didn't get
it right away. He started lifting weights, got stronger, was
(17:41):
able to handle the guys beating him up with Detroit.
They got Detroit Boom boom boom. Next thing, you know,
the rest is history. You remember all of the greatness
of what he accomplished, after all the things that he
struggled through to get to where he was at. A
lot of people think that overnight success stories are just
that overnight success. But the guys like Jason Tatum who
(18:03):
have to deal with all that scrutiny and it impacts
them and it impacts their families. When they get a
moment to get across that finish line and be able
to claim a championship, a world title, and you played
a major part in that as one of the superstars
on that team, it's got to be a super fulfilling
feeling to have for yourself to be able to look
(18:24):
at your family and say you did it. All of
the times we came up short, all of the things
that people had to say, Your kid had to deal
with preschool or elementary school, and people calling your dad
a loser or calling you a loser. The wife going
to the gym, they're like, you're lifting those weights good,
but you know, maybe you should bring your husband in
here to lift the weights with you. Like all kinds
(18:46):
of like ways of you know, diminishing somebody. He gets
to now say, you know it was all worth it.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Well, you know where this is gonna go though, because
this happened to Steph Curry the first NBA Finals they won, well,
it was Andrea Gudala who won MVP of the Finals
that year, and so the criticism went from like they
moved the goalpost. It went from well, you can't win
a championship with that style of play too, Well, yeah,
(19:18):
you can't win the NBA Finals MVP with that style
of play. And so the criticism of Tatum before is
now just going to be moved. Yeah, well he wasn't
the best player on his team in the finals, Like, dude,
come on, what are we doing here? Right, guys, an
NBA champion, Like, you can't take that away. You can't
that that stays within the rest of his career. Which
is why just seeing some of the feedback and some
(19:40):
of the pushback on some of these guys, and listen,
Luca's going to get it. There's probably going to be criticism.
Kyrie will get it, no doubt about it. People forget
Kyrie already won a title and hit the shot that
clinched the game on the road in a game seven
to do so. So it ain't like Kyrie's crazy.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Is the way you'll talk about clinching the game for Irving.
You won't talk about that. How Lee does that every
single day of his life, you know what, because it's
generally connected to something that's negative, you know what I mean,
Like he's clenching to make it to the restroom. Yeah,
Kyrie is clinching to win titles.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
By the way, some a hole on Twitter because Lee
threw out the question would you rather have sloppy you
know what? Or eat a perfect meal while you're drunk?
And I said I'd rather eat a perfect meal, And
so some guy sent over the gift of David Hasselhoff
eating eating a cheeseburger off the floor when he was
hammered Hasselhoff, that guy was on Baywatch. He looks like
(20:39):
et in the Creek in that gift. You imagine that.
You're like, that's negative right there.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
That isn't that.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
That guy was in hit shows, has made millions of
talented dude from all accounts, really good guy. And what
do you think of when you think of David Hasselhoff
eating an In and Out Burger off floor while he
was time traveling drunk and his kids caught it on bend.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
At least he was eating it on a plate. Yeah, Like,
don't be a hater. It wasn't like it was on
the floor floor. He's on the floor with a plate. Yeah,
good for him. What a hater. Hey, I'm team Hasselhoff.
I got your back off. I mean it does look
gross the way he's eating that sandwich.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
They'd be careful when to say that. It is two
pros and a cup of Joe. Here on Fox Sports Radio,

minutes from now from the Tirak dot Com studios, who

Some does some people notice the And I kind of
noticed it as well too. Jason Tatum we talked about obviously,
(22:48):
you know, the criticism he's got. He couldn't win the
big one. They couldn't get over the hump. They you know,
shut everybody up. And he talked about that afterwards. But
I did notice something from Tatum postgame, which he was
being interviewed by ABC. He had this to say, and
it sounds really really familiar.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
Oh my god, oh my god. It's a surreal feeling.
We did it.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
We did it.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
One more time, one more tab please, Oh my god,
oh my god.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
It's a surreal feeling. We did it.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
We did it.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Seemed a bit forced. Now you hear that, and it
does remind you. Yeah, the original. Yeah, let's let's hear
the original here, the original back from twenty from two
thousand and eight. Man, I'm so I'm so high by
now it's possible. Tao on board, tap the board, tap.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
Oh my god, oh my god. It's as a real feeling,
we did it.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
We did.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Gotta be intentional. Oh my gosh, it's got to be intentional.
Like I don't I don't know, Like, look, I heard
that and the moment with his son where he's where
he's like kind of bending down and his son comes
up and hugs him and like the embraces him.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Like that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Like that that's a real moment between father and son.
That was super cool to watch and see. And that's
something that they're going to have with him for the
rest of their lives. That that that's one of the
great moments you'll see that though that feels forced, it
feels orchestrated. I don't know whose idea that was, but
it was way over the top. Man, that feels a
(25:09):
bit much. But you can't tell me.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
That's just coincidence, right, coincidence And you weren't in the moment.
It was like that's what you came up with.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Like, there's literally the same if you listen, because I
think Garnett goes, and I know he was supposed to
say something else that Brady's explained to us, but like
Garnett is supposed to say something else, and he goes,
anything's possible, it's possible, and Tatum does the exact same thing. Lee,
what do you have on this Garnett was supposed to
say impossible is nothing?
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Yeah, I just really like Kevin Garnett's better.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
All right, let's do as because they do the they
say it once and then shout it the second time.
So let's heart's here, let's hear tATu man Garnett.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
One more time. Anything's possible. That's Kevin Garnett. I mean,
that's dope. Come on, come on tell you.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
Oh my god, oh my god. It's a surreal feeling.
We did it.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
We did it.
Speaker 8 (26:32):
She's still know why why it's the way sound man?
Speaker 3 (26:36):
It's not like a nerd. I get it though. We
did it. We did it. I just I just like
sometimes say to my kid out there, we taught him
to potty train or heard a potty trader. We got
it right, like you finally did it. We did it,
we did it. What it just it just probably got
(27:00):
mistress takes to go outside. You know, he's starting to
like really really like take to going outside, like we
did it.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Why do we have to force these moments? Like why
why can't you just let it happen?
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Organic? I mean, he was going for that that, you know,
forever deal, you know what I mean? Kevin. Kevin Garnett
is still referenced off of that, So he was going
for that forever dip, you know what I mean, where
they'll they'll they'll like twenty years from now, then they'll play.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
They tried to get Jokic to do something like that
last year, and he's like, kiss my ass.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
I've got their horse race to get to and nothing,
nothing interested in any of this. That's how you said it,
kits Moss. I need to better than the ponies. I
need to get back to the pony's.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Just like we're doing here, man Like, just let him,
let him enjoy the moment in a natural state. And
instead they've got to figure out some way to harken
back to something happened.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
In two thousand and eight. What are we doing here?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
All right, let's let's enjoy the moment, the embrace with
his son. Such a feel good story all the way through.
And then somebody's got this cocking the idea of like, hey,
let's reenact what happened with Kevin.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
That's exactly what it was, and it might have been him.
He might just might have been the way he felt
about it. You know, he doesn't seem like one of
those guys that that would take that approach. There's I
would be willing to guess that within the next couple
of weeks. There's some sort of a something that's connected
(28:33):
to me. Yeah, like some sort of a campaign. Yeah,
we did it campaign. Yeah what did they do? What
is that campaign? Won't be connected to I don't know,
but there we go.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Congratulations though, nonetheless to NBA champion Jason Tatum twenty six
years old. Man has been a long ass career ahead
of him.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
You did it.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
He's gonna make a ton of money too, Uh, what's
already missed?
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Make a ton more? Do you know? His mom?
Speaker 1 (29:06):
So, his mom, she had him really young, So she's
I think she's forty two or forty.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
She might be forty four older than his mom.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
So she like she would take him to she would
take him to her classes, like she grad she got
her degree, all that, like super smart. She would take
him to all her classes and and so he so
you're unbelievable. And so he like he grew up like
(29:36):
around his mom and the job she did going to school,
you know, paying her due, is working her ass off,
like you know, trying to pay the bills but be
a student at the same time all of that stuff.
And she now handles all of his like finances and
I guess they have this deal to where he can't
spend any of his Celtics money, so like a sponsorship money,
(30:00):
all the other stuff that comes off the court. You know,
he spends, he does whatever he wants with but they
she will not let him spend his Celtics money. So
whatever he makes from the Celtics has been untouched. So
whatever amount of money he makes in his NBA career
from a playing standpoint, that's what that's what he'll be
retiring on.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
I know, that's what Gronkowski's did with him. I think
so spend like his uh his uh you know, endorsement dollars.
He couldn't touch his contract. Yeah, good for him. Yeah
so uh so good story. And uh and now we
get to see, uh, I can't boast that I was
spending really oh yeah, before you buy it whatever I
(30:40):
wanted coy and toys. I wasn't frivolous. I wasn't a
frivolous dude. But you know, vacations and stuff like that,
you know the right one. You know, I spend money.
Same here. I could have just did the regular room,
while you had to do like the executive penthouse, you know,
owner's box, suite. You know that cost you know something
(31:05):
crazy at night. He used to look at my wife's face.
What I told her? I was going to recycle cans again,
tans and bottles. She's like again, I mean you was
driving that can to work this morning, almost didn't get
to do the show with me.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
I mean that's crazy. You know, hey, man, I got
ten bucks. I got nine dollars and ninety one cents
for recycling last week.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
You're you're driving a car getting you know, barely to work.
I'm leaving a freaking car dealership yesterday. Yeah, having to
grab something for my kid. My daughter's my twin daughter's
name is Bug. We nicknamed her Bug. She's bug Bug.
So what has she wanted ever since she's gotten her
(31:45):
driver's license? BW Bug BW Bug. Yeah. I finally broke
down and got her one. So there you go. Well
color red hell? Yeah yeah it was red, nice tan top,
you know, drop top. She wanted a convertible, so we
found the really cool one. Reasonable seventeen seventeen, got a convertible. Bug,
(32:07):

a car. My parents threw me some bike that the

They'll be back on the show at some point this
week after he's done being suspended. All right, I don't
have to tell you. We test around here for peds
and you piss hot, you get popped. That's the way
this stuff works. So he'll be back eventually at some
point here, probably celebrating with the in laws. They are
big time boss and Celtic fans, so we will have
all the latest from the NBA Finals, because it's a
(01:14):
rap and we do it all live from the tire
rack dot Com studios. Tire rack dot com. We'll help
you get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free
road has a protection and over ten thousand recommended installers.
Tire rack dot com the way tire buying should be.
I'd also like to say this, there's a lot of
angry people out there, bitter people. They're Lakers fans who
(01:37):
are upset about the fact that the tie has been
broken and now these Celtics have more championships than the
LA Lakers do. There's some problems here though. A you
had to borrow some from Minneapolis, and B you're counting
the one from the bubble.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Right off the bat.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
You're down five and a half, like right off the bat,
like that, like so, so you subtract that from the
overall total, and the lead is actually much larger than
I think a lot of people want to admit. So
that's got to be clarified. We've got to clear that up.
And I'm glad that we just did here.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Well, the Celtics just took the I mean they had
it anyway, right, Oh yeah, yeah, so they just length
extended it. And that doesn't look like the Lakers are
going to have to or anybody's going to have to
worry about that debate for you know, in the foreseeable future.
I mean, I'm like, look, I mean, they're they're they're
(02:37):
probably going to draft Bronni Like if you, I hope so, man,
They're probably their first pick to draft Bronnie James. So
I mean, they're clearly building towards the future, not not
the here.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Now, you can't take from the previous owner and then
claim that it's yours.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
It just doesn't work that way. I mean Dan Snyder
tried to do that with Cook that didn't really pan
out very well.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Look for an example, if you buy a house and
the previous owners had a pool table in the house,
but you tore it down and then built it back up,
you can't claim that you had a pool table. It
was the previous owners and it's no longer there.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Technically, if the pool table was still there when you
bought the home and then you tore it down, you.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Could, yeah, but if their last names engraved on the
pool table, they don't get to claim it.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Oh oh, there's a lot of names on things that you
buy that are of a family that you know.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I had a buddy whose parents sold their house. Their
name was engraved on the pool table. Whoever bought that
house that ain't yours? That's there.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I'm saying. If it had Johnson's and johnson you know
products in the house and you use them, that's still
not yours because you know it had another name on it,
you know, in the house.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yeah, but we're talking about ownership of championship titles here,
not cotton swamp.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
You were talking about pool table.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah, but it's like you're trying to claim something that
ain't yours. Who's trying to claim Laker fans in LA
and trying to claim then and the bubble that's a
that's not a full championship, that's a half. In fact,
I have it on good authority that those rings aren't
even like full rings. They're actually like elastic on the
(04:22):
bottom half because they couldn't even get like the full
like gold or diamond whatever they do with championship.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
All I'm gonna say is I played for an organization
that brought I think I'm not sure if they brought
championships or not, but they came from Boston. I don't
know if people realize that that the Washington Now Commanders
were a team that was in Boston when they first
started out. They weren't. They weren't the Washington team. So
(04:54):
whatever accomplishments that they had when they were in Boston,
that that transferred over into the see well and now
as a part of our history of the franchise. So
I don't know how that all works, Jonas, But I'm
just saying, if you buy the house, then you get
(05:15):
all the assets associated with it, unless the owners that
sold the house take their possessions that they wanted to
take and go to the next house. I would say,
it's more like, if I'm trying to help your cause
and your your argument, it would be like if I
left my championship trophies. You know, well I never won
(05:38):
championships but well high school. But if I left my
if I left my personal awards in the home, and
you bought the home and the awards were still in
the home, great call right there, right, Ye okay, now
you brought you bought the house, and the awards technically
belonged to you because they're in the home. I left
(06:00):
them in the home and you brought the home, you
bought the home, but those aren't your awards. You didn't
accomplish that. Yeah, that's where you're going. Yeah, that's what
you're going for.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Great point, and listen, you know, like I want to,
I can help you out. I want a family horseshoe
tournament back in two thousand.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Trophy.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, there's a damn trophy. And if you left and
if somebody comes and buys that house, guess what, you
didn't win that, all right, And if you try and
claim it, you're la trying to claim Minneapolis, And it's
a disgrace.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I get where you're coming from, but I don't know
who cares. Doesn't even matter, But I'll do it. For
our coverage for the NBA Finals, we didn't even bring
up the finals.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Do you want to hear Jason Tatum post if we're
going to play two clips?
Speaker 3 (06:45):
All right?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
One of them is being criticized, the other, you know,
is him celebrating after I think he's probably had a
couple of cocktails at this point in the locker room.
He was talking with the media and just discussing sort
of the I guess issues that people have had with him.
Or the Celtics and coming up short and all the
other criticisms they've heard. Here was Jason Tatum talking postgame.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
It's a real feeling. I still hasn't really kicked in yet.
Just try and I guess enjoyed the moment. I kept saying, Wow,
these last seven years have been a roller coaster up
and down. I had to listen on it about me
and tonight it was worth it.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Oh my god, this.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Is at the top of the mountain to be able
to say we did it. We came together and we
won a championship. Man at number eighteen has been hanging
over our head for so many years to know that
we're going to be engraved in history, and it still
hasn't like registered. I'm just still trying to process it all.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
So Jason Tatum post game that was off to Miami
for him celebrate with the rest of the team.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I know what that feels like too. I didn't get
any retribution for it, you know. I wasn't able to say, oh, well,
we got a Super Bowl and I could tell everybody
to kiss my ass. But I get where he's coming from.
For certain when when people have strong things to say
about you, when expectations are high, and you have such
(08:09):
high expectations and people don't People don't see the good
in what you do. They just see the shortcomings and
the failures of it. And that's what's generally reported and
what's talked about, you know, and that's more intriguing and interesting.
(08:29):
It's so crazy to me that the biggest breaking news,
like if you ever really think about what people really
really pay attention to, Like when it's like that big
moment of breaking news, right, if it was like breaking
news of I don't know, like something positive and I
(08:52):
can't think of a good example, but I can think
of a great example of if there was like the
old Jay Simpson deal, like the police are chasing a
major news You'll stop everything to show this man in
a truck getting trailed by police cars. I can remember
when Michael Jackson passed away and how that that you know,
(09:15):
the coverage of that, you know what that was like.
It's like, tragedy and negativity are the biggest, most consumable
pieces of information and news that our general public subscribed to.
And it's like when there's like that high speed chase
(09:37):
on on television or a standoff, you know, are they
going to shoot. Are they going to show the person
getting shot up? Are they going to show how the
you know, you remember when the dude, You remember when
the dude was driving and they're like get it off
of them, get it off of them, go oh gosh,
And they didn't get it off of him in time,
and he like off hisself, like right on, Live Tell division.
(10:00):
Like that's the stuff that people are into. So there's
this idea that like things that happen positive aren't really
it doesn't sell, it doesn't grab people's attention. Like even
with all of this Caitlin Clark stuff going on, it's
really it's rod it's really rooted in negativity, you know,
(10:22):
And I don't know that why that's our culture and
why that's that's something that you know, even like Eddie'll
give us an update coming up, right and you know what,
we'll talk about how how many dudes then got jacked up?
Like Mookie Betts is big news right now because his
hand got broke off, you know what I mean, Like
it's like broken hand. I mean, yeah, he saw the
(10:46):
way that ball hit his hand. He might need a
gold hand. I just I just think that good for
good for someone whether it's sports and in real life,
Good for you if you had detractors, if you saw
how people treated you and talked about you and handle
things with you because they thought you were lesser because
(11:09):
you weren't able to achieve what people thought you were
going to achieve or wanted you to achieve, or maybe
something that you said you were setting out to achieve
and maybe you hadn't achieved it. That man said seven
years took him seven years to get to this point,
good for him, and and you know what, shots out
to him for having the opportunity to actually be able
(11:30):
to say to the people, you know what y'all said
this and y'all said that about me wasn't positive. It
was it was really you guys taking jabs and shots
at me all along, and then now finally I did
something that you know, was great that really gave me justification.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
It's the one thing I can't stand, and it's going
to happen this week, and it's gonna happen today, is
that people are going to do the whole legacy talk thing.
What's so and So's legacy, what bro your legacy is
what it is after you're done playing like there's going
to be people that are going to look at this
and go, man, not a great showing from Kyrie and
(12:09):
from Luca, and especially you know, you'll look at Luca
and go, well, you know, he came up short, they
lost in five games.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
What if this is his only shot? Who knows?
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Man, Like, he's twenty five years old, Tatum's twenty six.
These are young guys. Like, if you want to talk
about legacy, a year ago, at this time, people were
laughing at the Celtics for giving Jalen Brown three hundred
million dollars after he came up short in game seven
when Tatum got injured in the Eastern Conference Finals. That
dude just won Eastern Conference Finals MVP and NBA Finals MVP.
(12:43):
That was less than a year ago. So like whatever,
like the idea that you take this one moment and
you go, oh, that's what we're going to be discussing
when they're playing. Days are over, dude, Luca could go
on and win two or three more titles. Kyrie could
win a title with Luca, and all of this is
a distant memory.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
People aren't going to remember.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
You know.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
The interesting thing about BS coverage and negativity and coverage
is people don't remember it unless it's significant, Like people
will remember Jason Williams shooting his rock Wilder, you know
what I mean, Like you might not remember anything else
about his career, that he was a pretty dog on
(13:26):
good basketball player, white chocolate or not. The other one.
You know, the shot is the driver. I don't remember
he shot. They said he shot is Rockwiler too, because
he wasn't mean enough or something. I don't. I don't know.
I remember it. That'll fix him. Oh you don't want
to be a good guard dog, get another one, Jesus, really?
(13:49):
I think so?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Can we fact check that? We don't want to give
out any reckless information here on this show.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
I reckless?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Well, you know, people get very sensitive about certain things.
You know, he's just based on our w NBA takes yesterday.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
People were not.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
So what we're not We're not thrilled, So we got
to We're just fact checking whether or not Jason Williams
shot his dog.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I mean it was the honest to goodness, I thought
it was a rottweiler. Shot his own, shot own pet.
Months before chauffeur slaying Williams heartless heartlessness shot his own rotwiler,
boom to death after losing one hundred dollars bet with
(14:36):
a basketball buddy, just six months before fatally shooting a
limo driver. A prosecute A prosecutor claim yesterday, huh and
and I remember. And the point is is I remember it.
I remember this, I remember the breed of the dog.
I remember it like because it was tragic. So I
(14:59):
falled vic them to the same as that that I'm
talking about that us as a culture in a society,
what we consume. But had Jay Williams like think about this?
Can you name the person that was allegedly when he
was charged for it with ray Lewis at the Super
(15:20):
Bowl the year before he goes and wins the Super
Bowl and is the MVP. Can you name the guy's name?
I cannot, Okay, but I can tell you that Jason
Williams shot of Rottweiler.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
By the way, LeVar Arrington College Football Hall of Famer,
Dead dog Insider here on FS did dog did dog
walking hanging with Boss Hogg? I did not have a
shot Rottweiler making it into our finals recap for the show.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
All I'm saying is Jason Tatum winning a I mean,
if I was an avid sports fan. I mean, as
an avid sportsman, I was able to apply it to
it to an athlete, Hey, you know what, get a
more entertaining finals. Don't play us. You ain't lying. I
(16:13):
mean when you when you accomplish greatness. That's what people remember.
If I say, who won the two thousand Super Bowl?
What are you gonna say? Do you remember? Raven's a Raven?
Who was the best player on that team? Ray Lewis
hands down? Who won the MVP? Ray Lewis. Okay, now
(16:37):
you may remember that ray Lewis was a part of
a situation where a man lost his life the year before,
but you don't remember that guy's name because the tragedy
was now superseded and really kind of like wiped away
by the success that took place only a year later.
(16:57):
If it had been two, three, four years later, it
would have been wiped away. People will remember the successes
in the end more than they remember. They'll say, they'll
remember that it happened, but they're not going to remember
the details of it. People will remember that Jason Tatum struggled.
They won't remember how many years They really won't unless
(17:18):
you're like a real historian of the game. You won't
remember all the years that it took for him to
get there. You won't remember all of the losses that
he took, or how many he took in each one
of those playoff runs where they came up short. You'll
remember that he didn't get it right away. Just like
we say with Jordan, You'll remember that he didn't get
it right away. He started lifting weights, got stronger, was
(17:41):
able to handle the guys beating him up with Detroit.
They got Detroit Boom boom boom. Next thing, you know,
the rest is history. You remember all of the greatness
of what he accomplished, after all the things that he
struggled through to get to where he was at. A
lot of people think that overnight success stories are just
that overnight success. But the guys like Jason Tatum who
(18:03):
have to deal with all that scrutiny and it impacts
them and it impacts their families. When they get a
moment to get across that finish line and be able
to claim a championship, a world title, and you played
a major part in that as one of the superstars
on that team, it's got to be a super fulfilling
feeling to have for yourself to be able to look
(18:24):
at your family and say you did it. All of
the times we came up short, all of the things
that people had to say, Your kid had to deal
with preschool or elementary school, and people calling your dad
a loser or calling you a loser. The wife going
to the gym, they're like, you're lifting those weights good,
but you know, maybe you should bring your husband in
here to lift the weights with you. Like all kinds
(18:46):
of like ways of you know, diminishing somebody. He gets
to now say, you know it was all worth it.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Well, you know where this is gonna go though, because
this happened to Steph Curry the first NBA Finals they won, well,
it was Andrea Gudala who won MVP of the Finals
that year, and so the criticism went from like they
moved the goalpost. It went from well, you can't win
a championship with that style of play too, Well, yeah,
(19:18):
you can't win the NBA Finals MVP with that style
of play. And so the criticism of Tatum before is
now just going to be moved. Yeah, well he wasn't
the best player on his team in the finals, Like, dude,
come on, what are we doing here? Right, guys, an
NBA champion, Like, you can't take that away. You can't
that that stays within the rest of his career. Which
is why just seeing some of the feedback and some
(19:40):
of the pushback on some of these guys, and listen,
Luca's going to get it. There's probably going to be criticism.
Kyrie will get it, no doubt about it. People forget
Kyrie already won a title and hit the shot that
clinched the game on the road in a game seven
to do so. So it ain't like Kyrie's crazy.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Is the way you'll talk about clinching the game for Irving.
You won't talk about that. How Lee does that every
single day of his life, you know what, because it's
generally connected to something that's negative, you know what I mean,
Like he's clenching to make it to the restroom. Yeah,
Kyrie is clinching to win titles.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
By the way, some a hole on Twitter because Lee
threw out the question would you rather have sloppy you
know what? Or eat a perfect meal while you're drunk?
And I said I'd rather eat a perfect meal, And
so some guy sent over the gift of David Hasselhoff
eating eating a cheeseburger off the floor when he was
hammered Hasselhoff, that guy was on Baywatch. He looks like
(20:39):
et in the Creek in that gift. You imagine that.
You're like, that's negative right there.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
That isn't that.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
That guy was in hit shows, has made millions of
talented dude from all accounts, really good guy. And what
do you think of when you think of David Hasselhoff
eating an In and Out Burger off floor while he
was time traveling drunk and his kids caught it on bend.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
At least he was eating it on a plate. Yeah, Like,
don't be a hater. It wasn't like it was on
the floor floor. He's on the floor with a plate. Yeah,
good for him. What a hater. Hey, I'm team Hasselhoff.
I got your back off. I mean it does look
gross the way he's eating that sandwich.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
They'd be careful when to say that. It is two
pros and a cup of Joe. Here on Fox Sports Radio,

minutes from now from the Tirak dot Com studios, who

or You Out. That'll be yours here on FSR uh SO.
Some does some people notice the And I kind of
noticed it as well too. Jason Tatum we talked about obviously,
(22:48):
you know, the criticism he's got. He couldn't win the
big one. They couldn't get over the hump. They you know,
shut everybody up. And he talked about that afterwards. But
I did notice something from Tatum postgame, which he was
being interviewed by ABC. He had this to say, and
it sounds really really familiar.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
Oh my god, oh my god. It's a surreal feeling.
We did it.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
We did it.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
One more time, one more tab please, Oh my god,
oh my god.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
It's a surreal feeling. We did it.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
We did it.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Seemed a bit forced. Now you hear that, and it
does remind you. Yeah, the original. Yeah, let's let's hear
the original here, the original back from twenty from two
thousand and eight. Man, I'm so I'm so high by
now it's possible. Tao on board, tap the board, tap.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
Oh my god, oh my god. It's as a real feeling,
we did it.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
We did.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Gotta be intentional. Oh my gosh, it's got to be intentional.
Like I don't I don't know, Like, look, I heard
that and the moment with his son where he's where
he's like kind of bending down and his son comes
up and hugs him and like the embraces him.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Like that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Like that that's a real moment between father and son.
That was super cool to watch and see. And that's
something that they're going to have with him for the
rest of their lives. That that that's one of the
great moments you'll see that though that feels forced, it
feels orchestrated. I don't know whose idea that was, but
it was way over the top. Man, that feels a
(25:09):
bit much. But you can't tell me.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
That's just coincidence, right, coincidence And you weren't in the moment.
It was like that's what you came up with.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Like, there's literally the same if you listen, because I
think Garnett goes, and I know he was supposed to
say something else that Brady's explained to us, but like
Garnett is supposed to say something else, and he goes,
anything's possible, it's possible, and Tatum does the exact same thing. Lee,
what do you have on this Garnett was supposed to
say impossible is nothing?
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Yeah, I just really like Kevin Garnett's better.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
All right, let's do as because they do the they
say it once and then shout it the second time.
So let's heart's here, let's hear tATu man Garnett.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
One more time. Anything's possible. That's Kevin Garnett. I mean,
that's dope. Come on, come on tell you.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
Oh my god, oh my god. It's a surreal feeling.
We did it.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
We did it.
Speaker 8 (26:32):
She's still know why why it's the way sound man?
Speaker 3 (26:36):
It's not like a nerd. I get it though. We
did it. We did it. I just I just like
sometimes say to my kid out there, we taught him
to potty train or heard a potty trader. We got
it right, like you finally did it. We did it,
we did it. What it just it just probably got
(27:00):
mistress takes to go outside. You know, he's starting to
like really really like take to going outside, like we
did it.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Why do we have to force these moments? Like why
why can't you just let it happen?
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Organic? I mean, he was going for that that, you know,
forever deal, you know what I mean? Kevin. Kevin Garnett
is still referenced off of that, So he was going
for that forever dip, you know what I mean, where
they'll they'll they'll like twenty years from now, then they'll play.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
They tried to get Jokic to do something like that
last year, and he's like, kiss my ass.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
I've got their horse race to get to and nothing,
nothing interested in any of this. That's how you said it,
kits Moss. I need to better than the ponies. I
need to get back to the pony's.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Just like we're doing here, man Like, just let him,
let him enjoy the moment in a natural state. And
instead they've got to figure out some way to harken
back to something happened.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
In two thousand and eight. What are we doing here?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
All right, let's let's enjoy the moment, the embrace with
his son. Such a feel good story all the way through.
And then somebody's got this cocking the idea of like, hey,
let's reenact what happened with Kevin.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
That's exactly what it was, and it might have been him.
He might just might have been the way he felt
about it. You know, he doesn't seem like one of
those guys that that would take that approach. There's I
would be willing to guess that within the next couple
of weeks. There's some sort of a something that's connected
(28:33):
to me. Yeah, like some sort of a campaign. Yeah,
we did it campaign. Yeah what did they do? What
is that campaign? Won't be connected to I don't know,
but there we go.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Congratulations though, nonetheless to NBA champion Jason Tatum twenty six
years old. Man has been a long ass career ahead
of him.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
You did it.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
He's gonna make a ton of money too, Uh, what's
already missed?
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Make a ton more? Do you know? His mom?
Speaker 1 (29:06):
So, his mom, she had him really young, So she's
I think she's forty two or forty.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
She might be forty four older than his mom.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
So she like she would take him to she would
take him to her classes, like she grad she got
her degree, all that, like super smart. She would take
him to all her classes and and so he so
you're unbelievable. And so he like he grew up like
(29:36):
around his mom and the job she did going to school,
you know, paying her due, is working her ass off,
like you know, trying to pay the bills but be
a student at the same time all of that stuff.
And she now handles all of his like finances and
I guess they have this deal to where he can't
spend any of his Celtics money, so like a sponsorship money,
(30:00):
all the other stuff that comes off the court. You know,
he spends, he does whatever he wants with but they
she will not let him spend his Celtics money. So
whatever he makes from the Celtics has been untouched. So
whatever amount of money he makes in his NBA career
from a playing standpoint, that's what that's what he'll be
retiring on.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
I know, that's what Gronkowski's did with him. I think
so spend like his uh his uh you know, endorsement dollars.
He couldn't touch his contract. Yeah, good for him. Yeah
so uh so good story. And uh and now we
get to see, uh, I can't boast that I was
spending really oh yeah, before you buy it whatever I
(30:40):
wanted coy and toys. I wasn't frivolous. I wasn't a
frivolous dude. But you know, vacations and stuff like that,
you know the right one. You know, I spend money.
Same here. I could have just did the regular room,
while you had to do like the executive penthouse, you know,
owner's box, suite. You know that cost you know something
(31:05):
crazy at night. He used to look at my wife's face.
What I told her? I was going to recycle cans again,
tans and bottles. She's like again, I mean you was
driving that can to work this morning, almost didn't get
to do the show with me.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
I mean that's crazy. You know, hey, man, I got
ten bucks. I got nine dollars and ninety one cents
for recycling last week.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
You're you're driving a car getting you know, barely to work.
I'm leaving a freaking car dealership yesterday. Yeah, having to
grab something for my kid. My daughter's my twin daughter's
name is Bug. We nicknamed her Bug. She's bug Bug.
So what has she wanted ever since she's gotten her

driver's license? BW Bug BW Bug. Yeah. I finally broke
down and got her one. So there you go. Well
color red hell? Yeah yeah it was red, nice tan top,
you know, drop top. She wanted a convertible, so we
found the really cool one. Reasonable seventeen seventeen, got a convertible. Bug,
(32:07):

Speaker 1 (32:08):
