You're listening to Fox Sports.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Radio, Taylor, please put it on the poll.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Which of the three stories from last night is most
deserving of an investigation? The Ravens backing out of the
Max Crosby deal, Mark DeRozan not knowing his team needed
to win, or Bam scoring eighty three points.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
That's a good.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
Question, man, Stu.
Speaker 6 (00:46):
I have a stat of the day for you here.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Oh wow, early, all right, go ahead give it to us.
Speaker 6 (00:51):
Every player that played for Team Italy last night, not
a single one of them was born in Italy.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
They should be disqualified.
Speaker 7 (01:01):
I mean serious, Taylor, how do you jump that bomb
right at the top, that's the one you got to
say for Oh yeah, all this Bam out of bio
talk now listen to this.
Speaker 6 (01:12):
Yeah no, their backup catcher was born in Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
What does the Italian roots. I mean anything that's not Venice.
Their starter was from Anaheim.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
Are we sure that's part of the US.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I don't know. Sure he's not from Anaheim. Taylor also
put this on the pole.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
If you had to pay for it, would you pay
to watch Tom Brady call a Ravens game next year?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Because I would? Wow.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Thankfully, the odds are a little slimmer because he does
NFC games.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
But man, yeah, wow, what a crazy night. So crazy?
Call it great?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
You're sitting around on a Tuesday night and all hell
breaks loose. I mean, seriously, it's just it's incredible, and
it's why we love sports. Where you think it's hey,
Tuesday night, quiet night, and all of a sudden you're
checking your phone. You're texting people and make sure that
Max Crosby News is accurate.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Because who knows these days.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I texted Adam Schefter, He's like, yep, and I'm all right,
that's good enough for me. Man, wow, yes, And then
I had to check my phone again and check with sources.
I didn't text you, but I texted others. Did Bam
really score eighty three?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Did you?
Speaker 5 (02:30):
That is such man like the fact that you can
actually just text Adam Schefter and ask him questions. Yes,
like what a luxury man?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
That is amazing? It is. Yes. He also said that
BAM's a fraud.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
That's that dude. I never want to talk to Adam
Schefter again.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
He's a Knicks fan. I mean, I have never Guys,
what do I do here? Because let me talk? Well,
I will listen. I have let you talk plenty.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Okay, you have been working me out since nine am
this morning?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Are you all right?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I feel like one of your trainers. Jesus Christ'll be
the other way around.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Well, yes, that's fair, right, yes, but you're driving me crazy.
It's my larger boy. It's not my faults due, no,
I know, it's BAM's fault.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
No.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And Eric spolsterras, oh, mikey A Taylor, what do I
do here? Because you've been around Israel long enough now?
Israel is a friend of mine. I love him.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
He's even keeled, he doesn't get emotional. He is mad.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
At everybody and everything today Colin Cowherd National Media. He
has taken everywhere and I don't know what to do
because I want to talk Max Crosby and I want
to talk about Mark de Rosa but I can't because
Israel will not allow me to do it.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
So Mikey, I will start with you.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Have you ever seen his real goody air as this
unhinged in your life?
Speaker 8 (03:53):
I haven't, And I will always pick the NFL story
over the NBA story unless there's a big asterisk here,
unless somebody is this mad and this entertaining about it,
and Israel is those things today that I don't mind
letting him go.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Don't use that asterisquord, not today, not today. People are
trying to use that asterisk squad today. Don't do it.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Tell you're asterisk not today. Reasons unintended.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
This is a day stew where I think we just
have to give Isy the ball and let him start
where he's hot.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
All right, that's right, guy that is an executive producer.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
All right, so we're gonna let you cook here.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Okay, But Frank I Saul is going to join us
at twenty five because he's one of the people in
the national media that you're upset with.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
No, I'm never upset at Frank.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Well, I think you will be literally never. Okay.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
We'll get to Frank in about fifteen to twenty minutes.
Here a bam was twenty of forty three from the floor,
seven of twenty two from three twenty five, I'm sorry,
thirty five a thirty six of forty three from the
charity stripe.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
He scores eighty three against the Wizards.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
He after wil Chamberlain, is now the guy who was
scored the second most points in a single game in
NBA history.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Can you prove that We'll did that? Well? No, but yes,
I have a picture of him holding up one hundred
after we.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Ken the other than the radio broadcast. I got to
be honest proof that that happened. I can't prove that
Bam did it. I didn't watch the game. So I mean,
you know what, that's a great, great way to start, stude,
great way to start. Because I asked this question right
before we got on the air. I said, of the
people who have commented publicly on this performance by bam Adebayo, Yes,
(05:30):
and Taylor, I'll let you give me the answer on this.
And this is the Colin Cowherds, the Emi Udoka's, the
Tim McMahon's of the world. Yes, what percentage of these
people do you think actually watched more than just the
last few minutes of the bam Adebayo performance.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
I'm going to side on the safer side and go
three percent.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Three percent is a great guest, probably somewhere in that range.
I am among the three percent, and if we are
being less than conservative, it's probably about one percent, if
that right?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Okay. In defense of the national media, in defense of Ime.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Udoka and Colin Cowherd he's a coach him, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
But in their defense, I mean, if you're not from Miami.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Or Washington, why would you be watching that game? Right? Okay?
Speaker 5 (06:14):
So as somebody who has been labeled box scorset in
the past, right, you know what that is, right? You
know the idea of oh, I'm going to read a
piece of paper and then have a great assessment on
what actually happened.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
So I'm just going to tell you how I experienced
this game and we can go from there. Because I
also remember exactly where I was when Kobe had eighty one.
I was at the hard Rock Hotel and Casino having
a night out with some friends and I saw that
he had I believe it was seventy, and I was like,
getting me to a TV. So I got to a TV.
What's the end? The end? Of it not that impressive.
(06:51):
A bunch of free throws in what was already a
great comeback win for the Lakers. Last night. It's a Tuesday,
It's the Heat and the Wizards, and I'm like, man,
normally I'd just forgive, I'd just forget this game altogether,
wouldn't watch it. I just assume the Heat would win.
I'm good, but looking at the sports calendar, maybe the
Rockets play at eight whatever all wats is to start, Stu,
(07:15):
anybody who didn't watch for that first quarter should not
have an opinion on this game, Okay, okay, because if
you watched Bam score thirty one points in that first quarter,
You're like, wow, this is ridiculously impressive. This is what
it would look like if Bam was regularly aggressive like
(07:37):
this offensively. And why isn't he like that normally because
he's got teammates that are better than him offensively. Tonight
or last night, there was no Tyler Hero, there was
no Norm Powell, there was no Andrew Wiggins. There was
not even a khalel Ware, who is his essentially only
backup at center right, so right off the bat, you
(07:57):
knew he was going to get more minutes more opportunities,
and Bam said, look, I'm not going to ruin this
five game winning streak by not being aggressive and letting
us lose to these lowly Wizards. I'm going to be aggressive.
And what did he do? He scored thirty one in
the first quarter. Yeah, which is and he did it
with I believe four to three pointers. He did it
with a pull up three heat check. And anybody, if
(08:21):
Kobe had that same quarter in his eighty one point game,
that's all people would be pointing to when it comes
to that eighty one point game. That was an amazing
starting point. Yes, okay, now people want to talk about
this game like after one quarter, you don't have to rush,
by the way, No, I'm not rush yours.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Just keep going. We have all agreed here. This Israel,
this is your day.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Man.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
If Kobe Bryant had scored that thirty one to start
his game, people would have said, oh wow, well, clearly
he was just on. He kept going. Kobe's eighty one
point game was a decent first half and then the
third quarter to bring his team back and take the lead,
and then the fourth quarter was nothing but point gathering.
(09:08):
That's all it was. They had the win safe. It
is what it is. It wasn't a nineteen point game,
maybe like it was for the Miami Heat when Bam.
But at that point BAM already had sixty five something
around sixty six to seventy points.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Right nineteen midway through the fourth quarter.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
And here's here's my main thing on this whole process, Okay, Stu.
So there have been games where Kobe had what sixty
two through three quarters?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Right?
Speaker 5 (09:32):
I believe there was a game where Damian Lillard might
have had a big number, maybe in the sixties too,
three quarters. There are people back then who said, let
him get as many points as possible. Okay, what do
you think that would have looked like? What do you
think that would have looked like? If in a less
(09:52):
than competitive game, Kobe comes back and has what have
with sixty two points and says, all right, I'm going
to try to keep scoring. It would be another team
in this case, it was I forget who was I
think it the Dallas Mavericks frantically saying, Ah, we've gotta
stop this guy. What do we do? Let's triple team
him even if he doesn't have the ball. Stu, tell
(10:17):
me when an NBA team ever practices that tell me
an NBA team that is prepared in any single game
to address the situation if somebody has seventy we're gonna
do everything possible to stop him. Nobody does this. Nobody Like,
(10:38):
if you have a game plan to stop a player,
sure you start that from the first quarter. You're like, oh,
we'll double him whatever, whatever, will blitz him at every opportunity.
You don't ever see a situation where three and a
half quarters in it's like, hey, guys, we have to
implement a defensive game plan that we've never done before,
and we're gonna do it perfectly. No, of course, you're
(11:00):
going to have sloppy basketball. You're going to have fouls
that occur when you're sending four guys that a dude
that doesn't have the ball. Why because you've never done
that before.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
And that guy's still in the game when he shouldn't be.
But anyway, keep going.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
But he's that's not true because at the beginning of
the game, Stu again, let me remind you who was
not there for his team, right, Not the first leading scorer,
and not the second leading scorer, not the fourth leading scorer,
not the best rebounder on the team, you've okay, no, okay,
And at some point it'll sink in. At some point
everybody will hear what actually happened. He'll sink in, right,
(11:35):
And so you've got somebody who's only doing what his
team is required. Is, hey, we need you, dude, be aggressive.
And he was that, And you're gonna tell me that
he was chasing the most blatant He had twelve points
in the second quarter. Yeah, he had twelve points in
the second quarter. And then in the third quarter. People
want to act like that's when the craziness happened. No,
(11:57):
it did not. The third quarter was perfectly ethical basketball
or however you want to call it.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
And on top of all that, not only does he
get to listen. If you're a head coach in that situation,
you're juggling, you're spinning plates, you're like, okay, maybe i'll
take him out here. And with the Heat situation, it
was like, okay, maybe i'll take him out after he breaks. Oh,
only the greatest player of all times scoring record with
the Miami Heat with sixty two or sixty one, Okay,
(12:24):
So when he gets to sixty two, it's like Okay,
maybe I'll take him out. Look at the score when
he got to sixty two. It was not a thirty
point game. It was not a ninety point game. It
was a game that in today's NBA, if you wave
the white flag, somebody could come back from. And it
was a game that it's not like they have other
options on the bench. Okay, they had a rookie from
(12:45):
Michigan as their backup center who has not played at
all this year. Okay, And if you're the head coach,
you're gonna spend the rest of your career answering the question, Hey,
why didn't you let Bam finish that game and see
what happens. Because of all people, Bam out of Bayo
is not gonna get a second chance at this. Kobe
Bryant got second, third, fourth chances at this. Damian Lillard
(13:08):
might get another chance at this. BAM's never gonna get
another chance at this. And for everybody else who was
saying they were what, they didn't watch the game, those
people in that arena were absolutely transfixed. It was probably
the best sporting event they've been to in their lives.
(13:29):
And this is where the heat part of it comes in,
where you had clown Tim McMahon saying this is what
heat culture is, stat chasing. You know what heat culture
is a dude in Bam out of Bayo who couldn't
shoot from outside the paint when he got into the
league and now has the most point in the game
that anyone has seen with their eyes, anyone alive has
(13:52):
seen with their eyes. And all you want to do
is say it's nonsense and say it's unethical. Yet didn't
watch the first set seven points he scored, but you
want to crap on the last ten twelve points that
he scored. It's absolutely just. It speaks to what is
going wrong with the world today. We all want to
talk like my opinion is the most important right after
(14:15):
a game that I didn't even watch. What are you doing?
And so I want to thank you Stu for telling
me that other people's opinions. You're right, they didn't matter
at the time, because over time, those clowns will still
be looked at as clowns and we will all say, hey,
it says Will Bam and Kobe, and that is that.
(14:36):
And I don't even care if you can come at
me with every single complaint you have about that game.
I've got an answer for you. We've got a two
hour show here. So it's just it's laughable that this
is the opinion that people have and over the course
of time they will be proven to be on the
wrong side of history.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
What I'd like to do is take a call. Let's
go to Satan on a landline.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
You might not remember me, but you sold me your
soul thirty years ago as the devil. I'd advocate on
my behalf that of the seven seventy plus point games
in the past twenty seasons, bam At a Bio is
the only one who shot under fifty percent.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Kazy would love to get your thoughts on this.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Now we have to go to break.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Thank you, Satan, and say hi to our brials for me.
You think our brows should get.
Speaker 6 (15:20):

Speaker 3 (16:21):
The final game for Gonzaggy in the WC SNE gives
them a sweep.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
They won the regular season and they win the tournament title.
But nobody scored eighty three.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
So Frank Iislogan to join us here in just a second.
In fact, bring Frank on right now. We'll read his
tweets from last night about Bam.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
We have some sound to play as well.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
But as he did mention and I'm proud of this,
he called me box score step in that first segment,
and that is a thing that people call me. But
it also felt like a good time to play for you,
the audience, tailor, mikey A, everyone back in Sherman Oaks,
and of course Frank Eye Sola. It felt like a
good time for me to play. The rare time where
I actually watched the game, but did it. Look at
(17:07):
the box score? Go ahead, fellas LaMarcus LaMarcus Aldridge awful.
I mean no, he's an embarrassment, man. I'm telling you
Greg Popovich is gonna get rid of that guy in
the offseason.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
He was an embarrassment last night. He is so out
of shape.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
There are so many times where the Rockets were playing
five on four on offense because LaMarcus Aldris was walking
back on defense. He's bad. He's not a good play.
I don't know what happened to him, because when he
was in Portland he was fantastic.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
He is not good. Dan.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
He cast him the game last night, although they won
the game, But hadn't they lost, I'm telling you it
would have been on LaMarcus Aldiers. And the only reason
it's not is because they won the game. Otherwise San
Antonio would be crushing him today. And I'm still going
to crush him even though they won that courtesy of
the show that still bears my name, Frank Eye Sola
is he is here to fight with Israel.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Goodyeres. But before we get to that, though, Taylor.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Please read the tweets from one Frank I solo last
night after BAM scored eighty three points.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
So we have three tweets. The first one reads Michael
Jordan's and Kobe Bryant's career highs for free throw attemps
in a regular season game is twenty seven. Meanwhile, in
Miami Dot dot Dot give me a break, BAM currently
has forty one. The second tweet is Luke Cornett needs
to weigh in on this wheel and since in Miami.
And then the third tweet and my favorite tweet, that's
(18:34):
Heat Culture with a question mark.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Luke Cornett the People's champ.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Good afternoon, frank I, Soola, thank you for joining us.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
How are you, gentlemen? My account was hacked. Those were
not Whoever did it. Whoever did it has my sense
of humor, though I'll give him that grag.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I love you, Bud.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
You know I'm not trying to argue with you. This
was just the best conversation we could possibly have, but
with a night day because I know you do the
morning show on NBA Radio. To think about it. What
are now your thoughts on Pam out of Bio's eighty
three point performance.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
It's it's even worse. I mean, you know, I mean
number one one points in the first half is legit.
That's awesome.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
First quarter, the fact quarter, the quarter.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Quarter, first quarter, I'm sorry. The fact that he had
forty two by halftime set you know, one more than
his career high. That's great. The fact that he had
twelve it was twelve I think in the third wherever
he got where he got the sixty nineteen nineteen, so
we got the sixty two. I'm sorry, I'm better, mass yeesh.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
It a memory, man, it's right in front of me.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
So he got the sixty to sixty two, three passes
Lebron for the franchise record. But the final you know,
five to sixty seven minutes. I mean, come on, you
can't have an organization that tries to tell you they can't.
You know, they put it on their shirts, they put
their credo on the court to tell you how they
do everything the right way and the right way is
having this guy chuck up three pointers with three guys
(20:01):
on him, staying in the game as late as he did,
intentionally missing free throws. So we can get an opportunity
challenging a call up. What were they have? Twenty five
twenty eight points? Give me a break. There's no way
deep down, and you know those two guys, all you
guys do. There's no way that Eric Spolscher thought that
was good. There's no way that pat Riley, who a
week earlier in LA or two weeks earlier, was giving
(20:23):
guys a hard time because anywhere a tie to his
statue ceremony, but he thought that was great for the NBA.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
No chance, no chest, Frank, I totally agree with you.
But this is Israel's day, and I will say this.
Whatever you're going to say moving forward, I agree with it.
Go ahead, is he?
Speaker 5 (20:38):
Frank? I don't mean to say this in a derogatory way.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Right.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
Obviously you weren't watching Wizard's Heat on a Tuesday night, right,
that's not fair.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
I watched the last six minutes because unfortunately a minute
I was doing Forton's Next.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
So if you are Eric Spolstra, you obviously are watching
it all you're experiencing it, all right, And I watched
every second of it rank and I said to myself, Okay,
they're going to take him out after Lebron's, after he
breaks lebron sixty when they get to sixty two. Oh no,
they couldn't. There was way too much time left on
the clock. There was nobody available, I know, you know
(21:13):
that they had everybody Hurd, no Tyler, no Wiggins, no
collel Ware, no Norm Powell. And then it was like, okay,
well he'll get to seventy, I guess, and then we'll
pull him. And then it became and and and you know,
this is basically like spinning plates if you're a coach, right,
It's like, I don't want to be the guy who
has to explain for the rest of time that bam
out of Bayo, who you know was not going to
(21:34):
get another chance at this right, would sat by my
choice as the coach. So you have to let the player,
especially in this situation like this where there's no teammates around,
decide if he wants to keep playing, right.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Okay, okay, so why did they take him out? Then?
What made that? What made a minute? What was it
a minute? Three when he came out of minute thirteen.
Why take him out then? Why not? Because so you're
at a point, why not leave him in? And can
can you de foul and try to get ninety or
well go a wall out and try to get a hundred?
Speaker 5 (22:05):
Why did you go back earlier? If you go back
earlier in the fourth quarter, Frank, they were only down,
they were only up rather by nineteen Okay, I'm not
talking with four minutes left. I'm not talking with five
minutes left. I'm talking about with about.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Years left to the question why did they take them out? Then?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Having one way conversation?
Speaker 5 (22:21):
Okay, Frank, I'll tell you. I'll tell you exactly because regardless, Frank,
because regardless of what the actual point total was sports,
he needed to be celebrated by the home fans and
that was the point.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
That was the building. They leave, They leave when they
were down, when they were losing the San Antoni.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
Frank, Why did they take Kobe out when he had
his eighty one? Why did take Kobe out when he
had to get celebrated for that?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Exam both you stop, both of you stop, listen to me.
I love both of you, Israel, I love you very much.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
You have to let Frank talk.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
I'm letting him all.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Right, hang on, hang on. First of all, Kobe was
never going to get to one hundred number one. He
only got to eighty three because he wanted the past Kobe.
So now it's going to be Aminabayou, who never scored,
never's averaged twenty points for his career. He's averaged four
point what is it, eight three throws per game in
his career. He goes to the line forty three times. Now,
remember this complicit in this world, the Washington Wizards and
(23:14):
the referee. It's a show that they would send this
guy to the line forty three times. He went to
the line forty three times more than Kobe did. I'm sorry.
He went to the pre throw line twenty three more
times than Kobe did in Kobe's eighty one point game,
and he scored two more points in him at some point.
Eric Spoulter, who's going to be the national team coach,
by the way, USA, this is what this is what
we're gonna do. So what if what if a player
(23:35):
from the US is scoring going to break the record
against Angola, do we keep him in the game and
rub it in their face.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Let me ask you a question.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
The Wizards culture. It's heat culture that gets shoved down
on the throat every day it's opened.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
The only people who have brought up heat culture over
the last several years are the people who want to
hate on it because they culture when they're making play.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
In their uniform. It's on their uniform.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
If so, here's the thing. First of all, he didn't
break a record. It was second place, right, it was
just a Kobe situation. But if like you're talking about, so,
if he takes him out, so let's say at seventy
five points, are we then celebrating an amazing seventy five
point performance? Because what drives me up a wall is
how everybody just flips on it when he does what
(24:24):
gets the second place record for scoring. It is still
an amazing accomplishment, but everyone wants to poop on it
all of a sudden, because why, Frank, if Kobe was
still alive, would this be an issue?
Speaker 3 (24:37):
He'd be vomiting right now.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
No, he wouldn't even Well, first of all, that's something
nobody can argue, So I don't even want to argue that.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Well, hang on, hang on a second. My issue was
all right, So when he's coming down the court with
three guys on him and he's firing up and he
took twenty two threes in the game, So that isn't
playing basketball the right way because that would mean that
four of his teammates are being guarded by two people.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Right, So let's buy this out, fran Let's play this out.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Let's play this out. So let's say bam out of
Bayo every single time that he's triple quadruple team throws
it to a wide open dude under the basket and
they get a bucket. Do you think the Wizards are
going to continue to do that and then call that
ethical basketball? The Wizards who Frank fouled the second somebody
else touched the ball so that that person can get
(25:23):
points instead of bam out of Bayo. So who's responsible
for this quote unquote unethical basketball? Is that the team
that has no idea what they're doing by triple teaming
and have never practiced that, Or is it the guy
who happens to be on fire and is doing some
heat checks.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Is it on fire? He went to the free throw
line forty times, He wasn't on fire.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
And there's also footage there's footage of every single foul,
and you show me the foul that wasn't a.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Foul, Frank, there was there was something that were listening,
not a one.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
I watched them all, not one.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
If you triple team a guy, pick him up full court,
you're gonna run into him. It's so dumb that they were.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
Doing right because nobody doesn't thank you.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
That, but yeah, it is he it's to keep the
guy in there. When does this happen in blowouts? We're
starting players in a month? Where is you know, the
month of March. Teams play a ton of games in
the month of Marching. They're leaving them in the game,
you know, to get some inflated record that isn't even authentic.
The last five minutes of the game. If you got
seventy five points, then they took them out with five minutes
(26:19):
to go, that's great, the last five minutes of that game.
Everyone should watch the last five minutes of the game.
And you tell me if you think that's good for basketball.
But that's and that's legitimate.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
And go look at everybody that was watching in the stands.
Go look at everybody. Look at the amazing feeling that
you got when he challenged that call, that was the
most fun challenge ever in the history of the NBA.
But everybody wants to give it crap because he passed
Kobe Bryant for second place. And again, if this was
(26:50):
somebody who was more a traditional scorer, everybody would be like, oh, okay,
those a couple of silly points at the end, but okay,
they just can't wrap their minds around Bam of Bio
doing it.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Do you you You've covered pat Riley for a million years,
You've been around them. Pat Riley's thrilled this morning that
that's how the game went down. What do you what
do you honestly think pat Riley feels about it.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
Pat Riley is a guy who coached in the nineties.
He is a guy who probably doesn't think that Bam
should have stayed in the game, but afterward would probably
be like, yeah, no, I probably would have done the
same thing in retrospect, because look, this is what gets
This is what it's like heat versus everybody like you
talk about. All they care about is the people that
(27:35):
they are entertaining and the people and they're going to
try to win as much as possible, and they're going
to try to give their fans as much to cheer
about possible. That's what he was doing.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
I don't think forty I don't think forty three three
throws is exciting.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
I know, but why is that not on the Wizards?
Why is that not on the in the building? So
so frank when you like in the previous seasons where
somebody scored sixty two or Kobe, Damien Lood whoever through
three quarters, and people are just like, you gotta let
him play, you gotta let him see if he'll break
the record. What do we think that would look like?
It would look exactly like last night. A team that
(28:08):
has triple and quadruple teaming somebody and doing things that
they've never practiced and would constantly foul somebody. That's what
that would look like. It's never going to be pretty
like what did we expect? Like you give the ball
the Bam and then the Wizard's double team and then
he passes it out and we're all playing happy, ethical basketball. No,
that's exactly what that was going to look like.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
And yet they did take him out, so they knew
there was a point where it was too much. My
only question would be why that point if not three
minutes earlier, why then why not just keep him in
and try to go for a hundred. You just said
he's probably never going to do this again. Who knows
if there'll be another player seventeen points from one hundred.
Why didn't they keep fouling Washington and try to get
the guy one hundred points? If eighty three is fine,
(28:49):
why not a hundred?
Speaker 2 (28:51):
My only question, Frank was good?
Speaker 6 (28:54):
Sorry, My only question, Frank Izolas, who are you rooting
for last night? Team USA or Team Middle in question?
Speaker 1 (29:01):
And are you outraised that no one on the Italian
team is from Italy?
Speaker 2 (29:04):
How about that?
Speaker 3 (29:05):
No? The great The great thing is that Bam and
Simone Fontekia became the sixth duo in NBA history to score.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
Why because the game was still in question while he
was taking shots. Well, the reason to take him out, Frank,
is because he's not going to get to a hundred
if there was, if there was five minutes left, they
probably would leave him in.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
You needed Simone Fontekio, You needed the Italian in there
to get to get the.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Yeah. So who? So Frank answered Taylor's question, who are
you rooting for?
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Probably Italy because should probably still get I always look
for the underdog. Italy would be the underdog.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
I mean in the United States.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yeah, Mark DeRozan not knowing the rules like I am listen,
I'm a trader. I am no longer rooting for the
United States of America. I am rooting for Italy. Shame
on them. And de Rosa should be fired. How about that?
Speaker 3 (29:55):
What do you think they fired him during the tournament?
Just probably happened before you know what's funny MLB network
Mark de rose is really good. Yeah, and he knows
a lot. It's amazing that he's in a position now
to make decisions and he listened. But he did say
he would have taken Bam out with about five.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
So he just you know, we are We are a
hater nation, is what we are. Because that was any Again,
if anybody would have watched the first three and a
half quarters and then shut off their TV and then
the next day saw that he scored eighty three, would
have been like, that was the most amazing thing ever. Instead,
we all want to harp on the crazy nonsense and
(30:34):
not give the Wizards any blame for what happened, because
the Wizards were doing stupid stuff.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Too well, Hang on, the blame goes to the league
office because now we have ten teams in the league
that are trying to lose. So you have that factored in,
you have the officiating, no offense. It's not that great
like all these inflated scoring games that happened in October November.
Look at the free throws that guys are taking all
that's all the shit.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
It's been that for a while now, though.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
But on forty three free throws Kobe Kobe, like my
tweet said, Kobe and Michael Jordan their most ever. It's
the free throw was twenty seven.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
But go back and look at them.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
They'res.
Speaker 5 (31:09):
But it's not ghost call called. He's a big he's
a big man doing all this that people don't normally do.
He's going to get fouled all the time. In fact,
I would argue Bam is one of the least well
officiated players in the league. He gets fouled all the time.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
I don't want to see that credle on the court.
They better erase it. And I don't want that culture.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
Jersey don't war that anymore.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Right.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
I have no idea why he's so fired up about this.
Who cares what anyone thinks.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
You saw the.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
Game, and he has because I love Frank. That's why
Frank is my guy.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
I got Frank.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
I need Frank to see things.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Mike, well, we love Frank too.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
So let's go to the judges here on this fight, Taylor,
I'll go to you first.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
We'll go around the room, just like a boxing match.
How do you score it? Taylor is solo versus goody Eras,
how do you score it?
Speaker 6 (31:53):
I'm sorry, is he I've got isolo winning this ten
to nine, but I will offer I think to compromise
for both sides. For Frank, everybody has to go watch
the last five minutes. For Izzy, everybody has to go
watch the first however many minutes.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
I'm perfectly fine watching none of it. Let's go to
Let's come out, Yep, I'm out. Let's go to Bordop.
I got too many things to do.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Board up, Ricord, I don't know what side he's on.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
How do you score this? Ricardo? I'm with Izzy. No,
that's how you play the game. That's that's the heat.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Guy.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Yeah, Army, Let's go to Iowa Sam in Sherman Oaks,
Iowa Sam.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
How do you how do you score this? Go ahead?
How do you score to break it? I assume it's
on you on passion alone. I have to give the
I have to give it to Israel good. Tiars wrong.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
Let's go she's coming from a Kobe fan.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Let's go to Dan Bayer until I get the right answer. Dan,
he stepped out. Let's go to mikey A until I
get the right answer. Mikey A, how do we judge this?
I Sola versus Goudieirez.
Speaker 8 (32:55):
I disagree with Taylor. It's not ten nine, it's ten
to seven.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Go Frank, all right, Yes, let's go to executive producer
Jason back in Sherman Oaks.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Jason, how do you score it?
Speaker 6 (33:06):
As the guy who chose a Gonzaga highlight over Bam,
I sink solo, U murdered j Has.
Speaker 5 (33:13):
And history will have you all being incorrect.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
I will go as a guy who didn't watch the
first three and a half quarters and will not watch
the final six minutes of the game.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
I have I sold the winning ten nothing. I've been
set up. Frank. Congrats, Frank, you're the heavyweight champion of
the world. He's still there.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
Probably not. Don't get me started. On the Knicks.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Wow, he just left.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
Frank said, f you guys, I'm out of here.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Not you guy, Not you guys. He rocked out on
all of us, just me, just you would board Apricordo. Yeah,
I have something here. I don't know eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
That is eight seven seven on Fox.
Speaker 5 (34:02):
If you missed any of today's shit time out, I.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Am so mad at port out. Ricardo and Iowa saym
I mean geez.
Speaker 5 (34:08):
I know what they're doing. Read the room, fella, right.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
So Taylor has an update here on what the heater
doing to celebrate BAM's big night last night?
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Taylor, what's going on here?
Speaker 6 (34:51):
So I'm looking at what Ricardo's doing during the break,
and he's adding something to his cart, and I'm like,
what the heck is going on over there? The Heat
are customizing sp I shall at a bio eighty three
jerseys at the team's store to commemorate BAM's historic night,
and the jerseys are he guessed it, eighty three dollars.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Wow, bargain.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Yeah, he should add my fist to that cart because
I'm going to punch anyone in the face who wears
that shirt.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
I mean, seriously, what are we celebrating here?
Speaker 5 (35:17):
Only the only the biggest scoring game that any of
us have ever seen with our eyes right well, I
mean maybe Riley saw Wilt.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
You don't know that.
Speaker 8 (35:27):
Can I get forty three and pay forty three dollars
for it for the free throws?
Speaker 5 (35:31):
Or forty three?
Speaker 1 (35:31):
And in the back of the says, first half, what
do you want the shirt to read? Mikey Bam eighty
three on forty three free throw attempts?
Speaker 5 (35:41):
I wanted to read take that, Tim McMahon.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
But what you're saying you are thanking me for talking
you off the ledge, and you're contradicting yourself because clearly
you still care about what the national media is saying about.
But you know they don't like the heat. Let's start there. Well,
no one like you said it. I didn't know. We
got a team and a player that we didn't deserve, okay,
and therefore everyone is upset about it. And I'm talking
about Lebron Bosham Wade okay, because they don't think we're
(36:08):
a great sports down all right, and I've been fighting
that fight for twenty years and we're not the best
sports down.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
But doesn't matter. They decided to play here.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
But that's like the starting premise of all of this
is people don't like the heat and they don't like
their culture.
Speaker 5 (36:21):
If you are a sports fan who loves the US
against the world, maybe this is the best sports fan
this BET's city and everything else. But look, it's just
it's annoying because we want to talk about the humanity
of it. We want to talk about respecting Kobe posthumously.
Never mind that Bam was a guy who was not
(36:42):
supposed to be any of this, who his whole goal
coming up through the NBA is just to buy his
mam a house because they grew up in a double
wide trailer in North Carolina.
Speaker 4 (36:54):

To be?
Speaker 5 (37:18):
Huh? His girlfriend? Who is the best women's basketball player
alive right now? Was there a woman who has helped
him with his game? And when you saw some of
that post play, which you and I'm talking about everybody
listening didn't actually watch, you were like, holy cow, that
(37:41):
dude is amazing. Thank you Aga Wilson for helping him
with his postgame. His mom was there, like it is unbelievable.

You're listening to Fox Sports.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Radio, Taylor, please put it on the poll.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Which of the three stories from last night is most
deserving of an investigation? The Ravens backing out of the
Max Crosby deal, Mark DeRozan not knowing his team needed
to win, or Bam scoring eighty three points.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
That's a good.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
Question, man, Stu.
Speaker 6 (00:46):
I have a stat of the day for you here.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Oh wow, early, all right, go ahead give it to us.
Speaker 6 (00:51):
Every player that played for Team Italy last night, not
a single one of them was born in Italy.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
They should be disqualified.
Speaker 7 (01:01):
I mean serious, Taylor, how do you jump that bomb
right at the top, that's the one you got to
say for Oh yeah, all this Bam out of bio
talk now listen to this.
Speaker 6 (01:12):
Yeah no, their backup catcher was born in Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
What does the Italian roots. I mean anything that's not Venice.
Their starter was from Anaheim.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
Are we sure that's part of the US.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I don't know. Sure he's not from Anaheim. Taylor also
put this on the pole.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
If you had to pay for it, would you pay
to watch Tom Brady call a Ravens game next year?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Because I would? Wow.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Thankfully, the odds are a little slimmer because he does
NFC games.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
But man, yeah, wow, what a crazy night. So crazy?
Call it great?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
You're sitting around on a Tuesday night and all hell
breaks loose. I mean, seriously, it's just it's incredible, and
it's why we love sports. Where you think it's hey,
Tuesday night, quiet night, and all of a sudden you're
checking your phone. You're texting people and make sure that
Max Crosby News is accurate.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Because who knows these days.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I texted Adam Schefter, He's like, yep, and I'm all right,
that's good enough for me. Man, wow, yes, And then
I had to check my phone again and check with sources.
I didn't text you, but I texted others. Did Bam
really score eighty three?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Did you?
Speaker 5 (02:30):
That is such man like the fact that you can
actually just text Adam Schefter and ask him questions. Yes,
like what a luxury man?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
That is amazing? It is. Yes. He also said that
BAM's a fraud.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
That's that dude. I never want to talk to Adam
Schefter again.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
He's a Knicks fan. I mean, I have never Guys,
what do I do here? Because let me talk? Well,
I will listen. I have let you talk plenty.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Okay, you have been working me out since nine am
this morning?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Are you all right?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I feel like one of your trainers. Jesus Christ'll be
the other way around.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Well, yes, that's fair, right, yes, but you're driving me crazy.
It's my larger boy. It's not my faults due, no,
I know, it's BAM's fault.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
No.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And Eric spolsterras, oh, mikey A Taylor, what do I
do here? Because you've been around Israel long enough now?
Israel is a friend of mine. I love him.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
He's even keeled, he doesn't get emotional. He is mad.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
At everybody and everything today Colin Cowherd National Media. He
has taken everywhere and I don't know what to do
because I want to talk Max Crosby and I want
to talk about Mark de Rosa but I can't because
Israel will not allow me to do it.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
So Mikey, I will start with you.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Have you ever seen his real goody air as this
unhinged in your life?
Speaker 8 (03:53):
I haven't, And I will always pick the NFL story
over the NBA story unless there's a big asterisk here,
unless somebody is this mad and this entertaining about it,
and Israel is those things today that I don't mind
letting him go.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Don't use that asterisquord, not today, not today. People are
trying to use that asterisk squad today. Don't do it.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Tell you're asterisk not today. Reasons unintended.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
This is a day stew where I think we just
have to give Isy the ball and let him start
where he's hot.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
All right, that's right, guy that is an executive producer.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
All right, so we're gonna let you cook here.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Okay, But Frank I Saul is going to join us
at twenty five because he's one of the people in
the national media that you're upset with.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
No, I'm never upset at Frank.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Well, I think you will be literally never. Okay.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
We'll get to Frank in about fifteen to twenty minutes.
Here a bam was twenty of forty three from the floor,
seven of twenty two from three twenty five, I'm sorry,
thirty five a thirty six of forty three from the
charity stripe.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
He scores eighty three against the Wizards.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
He after wil Chamberlain, is now the guy who was
scored the second most points in a single game in
NBA history.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Can you prove that We'll did that? Well? No, but yes,
I have a picture of him holding up one hundred
after we.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Ken the other than the radio broadcast. I got to
be honest proof that that happened. I can't prove that
Bam did it. I didn't watch the game. So I mean,
you know what, that's a great, great way to start, stude,
great way to start. Because I asked this question right
before we got on the air. I said, of the
people who have commented publicly on this performance by bam Adebayo, Yes,
(05:30):
and Taylor, I'll let you give me the answer on this.
And this is the Colin Cowherds, the Emi Udoka's, the
Tim McMahon's of the world. Yes, what percentage of these
people do you think actually watched more than just the
last few minutes of the bam Adebayo performance.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
I'm going to side on the safer side and go
three percent.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Three percent is a great guest, probably somewhere in that range.
I am among the three percent, and if we are
being less than conservative, it's probably about one percent, if
that right?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Okay. In defense of the national media, in defense of Ime.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Udoka and Colin Cowherd he's a coach him, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
But in their defense, I mean, if you're not from Miami.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Or Washington, why would you be watching that game? Right? Okay?
Speaker 5 (06:14):
So as somebody who has been labeled box scorset in
the past, right, you know what that is, right? You
know the idea of oh, I'm going to read a
piece of paper and then have a great assessment on
what actually happened.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
So I'm just going to tell you how I experienced
this game and we can go from there. Because I
also remember exactly where I was when Kobe had eighty one.
I was at the hard Rock Hotel and Casino having
a night out with some friends and I saw that
he had I believe it was seventy, and I was like,
getting me to a TV. So I got to a TV.
What's the end? The end? Of it not that impressive.
(06:51):
A bunch of free throws in what was already a
great comeback win for the Lakers. Last night. It's a Tuesday,
It's the Heat and the Wizards, and I'm like, man,
normally I'd just forgive, I'd just forget this game altogether,
wouldn't watch it. I just assume the Heat would win.
I'm good, but looking at the sports calendar, maybe the
Rockets play at eight whatever all wats is to start, Stu,
(07:15):
anybody who didn't watch for that first quarter should not
have an opinion on this game, Okay, okay, because if
you watched Bam score thirty one points in that first quarter,
You're like, wow, this is ridiculously impressive. This is what
it would look like if Bam was regularly aggressive like
(07:37):
this offensively. And why isn't he like that normally because
he's got teammates that are better than him offensively. Tonight
or last night, there was no Tyler Hero, there was
no Norm Powell, there was no Andrew Wiggins. There was
not even a khalel Ware, who is his essentially only
backup at center right, so right off the bat, you
(07:57):
knew he was going to get more minutes more opportunities,
and Bam said, look, I'm not going to ruin this
five game winning streak by not being aggressive and letting
us lose to these lowly Wizards. I'm going to be aggressive.
And what did he do? He scored thirty one in
the first quarter. Yeah, which is and he did it
with I believe four to three pointers. He did it
with a pull up three heat check. And anybody, if
(08:21):
Kobe had that same quarter in his eighty one point game,
that's all people would be pointing to when it comes
to that eighty one point game. That was an amazing
starting point. Yes, okay, now people want to talk about
this game like after one quarter, you don't have to rush,
by the way, No, I'm not rush yours.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Just keep going. We have all agreed here. This Israel,
this is your day.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Man.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
If Kobe Bryant had scored that thirty one to start
his game, people would have said, oh wow, well, clearly
he was just on. He kept going. Kobe's eighty one
point game was a decent first half and then the
third quarter to bring his team back and take the lead,
and then the fourth quarter was nothing but point gathering.
(09:08):
That's all it was. They had the win safe. It
is what it is. It wasn't a nineteen point game,
maybe like it was for the Miami Heat when Bam.
But at that point BAM already had sixty five something
around sixty six to seventy points.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Right nineteen midway through the fourth quarter.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
And here's here's my main thing on this whole process, Okay, Stu.
So there have been games where Kobe had what sixty
two through three quarters?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Right?
Speaker 5 (09:32):
I believe there was a game where Damian Lillard might
have had a big number, maybe in the sixties too,
three quarters. There are people back then who said, let
him get as many points as possible. Okay, what do
you think that would have looked like? What do you
think that would have looked like? If in a less
(09:52):
than competitive game, Kobe comes back and has what have
with sixty two points and says, all right, I'm going
to try to keep scoring. It would be another team
in this case, it was I forget who was I
think it the Dallas Mavericks frantically saying, Ah, we've gotta
stop this guy. What do we do? Let's triple team
him even if he doesn't have the ball. Stu, tell
(10:17):
me when an NBA team ever practices that tell me
an NBA team that is prepared in any single game
to address the situation if somebody has seventy we're gonna
do everything possible to stop him. Nobody does this. Nobody Like,
(10:38):
if you have a game plan to stop a player,
sure you start that from the first quarter. You're like, oh,
we'll double him whatever, whatever, will blitz him at every opportunity.
You don't ever see a situation where three and a
half quarters in it's like, hey, guys, we have to
implement a defensive game plan that we've never done before,
and we're gonna do it perfectly. No, of course, you're
(11:00):
going to have sloppy basketball. You're going to have fouls
that occur when you're sending four guys that a dude
that doesn't have the ball. Why because you've never done
that before.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
And that guy's still in the game when he shouldn't be.
But anyway, keep going.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
But he's that's not true because at the beginning of
the game, Stu again, let me remind you who was
not there for his team, right, Not the first leading scorer,
and not the second leading scorer, not the fourth leading scorer,
not the best rebounder on the team, you've okay, no, okay,
And at some point it'll sink in. At some point
everybody will hear what actually happened. He'll sink in, right,
(11:35):
And so you've got somebody who's only doing what his
team is required. Is, hey, we need you, dude, be aggressive.
And he was that, And you're gonna tell me that
he was chasing the most blatant He had twelve points
in the second quarter. Yeah, he had twelve points in
the second quarter. And then in the third quarter. People
want to act like that's when the craziness happened. No,
(11:57):
it did not. The third quarter was perfectly ethical basketball
or however you want to call it.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
And on top of all that, not only does he
get to listen. If you're a head coach in that situation,
you're juggling, you're spinning plates, you're like, okay, maybe i'll
take him out here. And with the Heat situation, it
was like, okay, maybe i'll take him out after he breaks. Oh,
only the greatest player of all times scoring record with
the Miami Heat with sixty two or sixty one, Okay,
(12:24):
So when he gets to sixty two, it's like Okay,
maybe I'll take him out. Look at the score when
he got to sixty two. It was not a thirty
point game. It was not a ninety point game. It
was a game that in today's NBA, if you wave
the white flag, somebody could come back from. And it
was a game that it's not like they have other
options on the bench. Okay, they had a rookie from
(12:45):
Michigan as their backup center who has not played at
all this year. Okay, And if you're the head coach,
you're gonna spend the rest of your career answering the question, Hey,
why didn't you let Bam finish that game and see
what happens. Because of all people, Bam out of Bayo
is not gonna get a second chance at this. Kobe
Bryant got second, third, fourth chances at this. Damian Lillard
(13:08):
might get another chance at this. BAM's never gonna get
another chance at this. And for everybody else who was
saying they were what, they didn't watch the game, those
people in that arena were absolutely transfixed. It was probably
the best sporting event they've been to in their lives.
(13:29):
And this is where the heat part of it comes in,
where you had clown Tim McMahon saying this is what
heat culture is, stat chasing. You know what heat culture
is a dude in Bam out of Bayo who couldn't
shoot from outside the paint when he got into the
league and now has the most point in the game
that anyone has seen with their eyes, anyone alive has
(13:52):
seen with their eyes. And all you want to do
is say it's nonsense and say it's unethical. Yet didn't
watch the first set seven points he scored, but you
want to crap on the last ten twelve points that
he scored. It's absolutely just. It speaks to what is
going wrong with the world today. We all want to
talk like my opinion is the most important right after
(14:15):
a game that I didn't even watch. What are you doing?
And so I want to thank you Stu for telling
me that other people's opinions. You're right, they didn't matter
at the time, because over time, those clowns will still
be looked at as clowns and we will all say, hey,
it says Will Bam and Kobe, and that is that.
(14:36):
And I don't even care if you can come at
me with every single complaint you have about that game.
I've got an answer for you. We've got a two
hour show here. So it's just it's laughable that this
is the opinion that people have and over the course
of time they will be proven to be on the
wrong side of history.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
What I'd like to do is take a call. Let's
go to Satan on a landline.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
You might not remember me, but you sold me your
soul thirty years ago as the devil. I'd advocate on
my behalf that of the seven seventy plus point games
in the past twenty seasons, bam At a Bio is
the only one who shot under fifty percent.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Kazy would love to get your thoughts on this.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Now we have to go to break.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Thank you, Satan, and say hi to our brials for me.
You think our brows should get.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
The final game for Gonzaggy in the WC SNE gives
them a sweep.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
They won the regular season and they win the tournament title.
But nobody scored eighty three.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
So Frank Iislogan to join us here in just a second.
In fact, bring Frank on right now. We'll read his
tweets from last night about Bam.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
We have some sound to play as well.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
But as he did mention and I'm proud of this,
he called me box score step in that first segment,
and that is a thing that people call me. But
it also felt like a good time to play for you,
the audience, tailor, mikey A, everyone back in Sherman Oaks,
and of course Frank Eye Sola. It felt like a
good time for me to play. The rare time where
I actually watched the game, but did it. Look at
(17:07):
the box score? Go ahead, fellas LaMarcus LaMarcus Aldridge awful.
I mean no, he's an embarrassment, man. I'm telling you
Greg Popovich is gonna get rid of that guy in
the offseason.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
He was an embarrassment last night. He is so out
of shape.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
There are so many times where the Rockets were playing
five on four on offense because LaMarcus Aldris was walking
back on defense. He's bad. He's not a good play.
I don't know what happened to him, because when he
was in Portland he was fantastic.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
He is not good. Dan.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
He cast him the game last night, although they won
the game, But hadn't they lost, I'm telling you it
would have been on LaMarcus Aldiers. And the only reason
it's not is because they won the game. Otherwise San
Antonio would be crushing him today. And I'm still going
to crush him even though they won that courtesy of
the show that still bears my name, Frank Eye Sola
is he is here to fight with Israel.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Goodyeres. But before we get to that, though, Taylor.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Please read the tweets from one Frank I solo last
night after BAM scored eighty three points.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
So we have three tweets. The first one reads Michael
Jordan's and Kobe Bryant's career highs for free throw attemps
in a regular season game is twenty seven. Meanwhile, in
Miami Dot dot Dot give me a break, BAM currently
has forty one. The second tweet is Luke Cornett needs
to weigh in on this wheel and since in Miami.
And then the third tweet and my favorite tweet, that's
(18:34):
Heat Culture with a question mark.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Luke Cornett the People's champ.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Good afternoon, frank I, Soola, thank you for joining us.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
How are you, gentlemen? My account was hacked. Those were
not Whoever did it. Whoever did it has my sense
of humor, though I'll give him that grag.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I love you, Bud.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
You know I'm not trying to argue with you. This
was just the best conversation we could possibly have, but
with a night day because I know you do the
morning show on NBA Radio. To think about it. What
are now your thoughts on Pam out of Bio's eighty
three point performance.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
It's it's even worse. I mean, you know, I mean
number one one points in the first half is legit.
That's awesome.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
First quarter, the fact quarter, the quarter.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Quarter, first quarter, I'm sorry. The fact that he had
forty two by halftime set you know, one more than
his career high. That's great. The fact that he had
twelve it was twelve I think in the third wherever
he got where he got the sixty nineteen nineteen, so
we got the sixty two. I'm sorry, I'm better, mass yeesh.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
It a memory, man, it's right in front of me.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
So he got the sixty to sixty two, three passes
Lebron for the franchise record. But the final you know,
five to sixty seven minutes. I mean, come on, you
can't have an organization that tries to tell you they can't.
You know, they put it on their shirts, they put
their credo on the court to tell you how they
do everything the right way and the right way is
having this guy chuck up three pointers with three guys
(20:01):
on him, staying in the game as late as he did,
intentionally missing free throws. So we can get an opportunity
challenging a call up. What were they have? Twenty five
twenty eight points? Give me a break. There's no way
deep down, and you know those two guys, all you
guys do. There's no way that Eric Spolscher thought that
was good. There's no way that pat Riley, who a
week earlier in LA or two weeks earlier, was giving
(20:23):
guys a hard time because anywhere a tie to his
statue ceremony, but he thought that was great for the NBA.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
No chance, no chest, Frank, I totally agree with you.
But this is Israel's day, and I will say this.
Whatever you're going to say moving forward, I agree with it.
Go ahead, is he?
Speaker 5 (20:38):
Frank? I don't mean to say this in a derogatory way.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Right.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
Obviously you weren't watching Wizard's Heat on a Tuesday night, right,
that's not fair.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
I watched the last six minutes because unfortunately a minute
I was doing Forton's Next.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
So if you are Eric Spolstra, you obviously are watching
it all you're experiencing it, all right, And I watched
every second of it rank and I said to myself, Okay,
they're going to take him out after Lebron's, after he
breaks lebron sixty when they get to sixty two. Oh no,
they couldn't. There was way too much time left on
the clock. There was nobody available, I know, you know
(21:13):
that they had everybody Hurd, no Tyler, no Wiggins, no
collel Ware, no Norm Powell. And then it was like, okay,
well he'll get to seventy, I guess, and then we'll
pull him. And then it became and and and you know,
this is basically like spinning plates if you're a coach, right,
It's like, I don't want to be the guy who
has to explain for the rest of time that bam
out of Bayo, who you know was not going to
(21:34):
get another chance at this right, would sat by my
choice as the coach. So you have to let the player,
especially in this situation like this where there's no teammates around,
decide if he wants to keep playing, right.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Okay, okay, so why did they take him out? Then?
What made that? What made a minute? What was it
a minute? Three when he came out of minute thirteen.
Why take him out then? Why not? Because so you're
at a point, why not leave him in? And can
can you de foul and try to get ninety or
well go a wall out and try to get a hundred?
Speaker 5 (22:05):
Why did you go back earlier? If you go back
earlier in the fourth quarter, Frank, they were only down,
they were only up rather by nineteen Okay, I'm not
talking with four minutes left. I'm not talking with five
minutes left. I'm talking about with about.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Years left to the question why did they take them out? Then?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Having one way conversation?
Speaker 5 (22:21):
Okay, Frank, I'll tell you. I'll tell you exactly because regardless, Frank,
because regardless of what the actual point total was sports,
he needed to be celebrated by the home fans and
that was the point.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
That was the building. They leave, They leave when they
were down, when they were losing the San Antoni.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
Frank, Why did they take Kobe out when he had
his eighty one? Why did take Kobe out when he
had to get celebrated for that?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Exam both you stop, both of you stop, listen to me.
I love both of you, Israel, I love you very much.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
You have to let Frank talk.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
I'm letting him all.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Right, hang on, hang on. First of all, Kobe was
never going to get to one hundred number one. He
only got to eighty three because he wanted the past Kobe.
So now it's going to be Aminabayou, who never scored,
never's averaged twenty points for his career. He's averaged four
point what is it, eight three throws per game in
his career. He goes to the line forty three times. Now,
remember this complicit in this world, the Washington Wizards and
(23:14):
the referee. It's a show that they would send this
guy to the line forty three times. He went to
the line forty three times more than Kobe did. I'm sorry.
He went to the pre throw line twenty three more
times than Kobe did in Kobe's eighty one point game,
and he scored two more points in him at some point.
Eric Spoulter, who's going to be the national team coach,
by the way, USA, this is what this is what
we're gonna do. So what if what if a player
(23:35):
from the US is scoring going to break the record
against Angola, do we keep him in the game and
rub it in their face.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Let me ask you a question.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
The Wizards culture. It's heat culture that gets shoved down
on the throat every day it's opened.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
The only people who have brought up heat culture over
the last several years are the people who want to
hate on it because they culture when they're making play.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
In their uniform. It's on their uniform.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
If so, here's the thing. First of all, he didn't
break a record. It was second place, right, it was
just a Kobe situation. But if like you're talking about, so,
if he takes him out, so let's say at seventy
five points, are we then celebrating an amazing seventy five
point performance? Because what drives me up a wall is
how everybody just flips on it when he does what
(24:24):
gets the second place record for scoring. It is still
an amazing accomplishment, but everyone wants to poop on it
all of a sudden, because why, Frank, if Kobe was
still alive, would this be an issue?
Speaker 3 (24:37):
He'd be vomiting right now.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
No, he wouldn't even Well, first of all, that's something
nobody can argue, So I don't even want to argue that.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Well, hang on, hang on a second. My issue was
all right, So when he's coming down the court with
three guys on him and he's firing up and he
took twenty two threes in the game, So that isn't
playing basketball the right way because that would mean that
four of his teammates are being guarded by two people.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Right, So let's buy this out, fran Let's play this out.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Let's play this out. So let's say bam out of
Bayo every single time that he's triple quadruple team throws
it to a wide open dude under the basket and
they get a bucket. Do you think the Wizards are
going to continue to do that and then call that
ethical basketball? The Wizards who Frank fouled the second somebody
else touched the ball so that that person can get
(25:23):
points instead of bam out of Bayo. So who's responsible
for this quote unquote unethical basketball? Is that the team
that has no idea what they're doing by triple teaming
and have never practiced that, Or is it the guy
who happens to be on fire and is doing some
heat checks.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Is it on fire? He went to the free throw
line forty times, He wasn't on fire.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
And there's also footage there's footage of every single foul,
and you show me the foul that wasn't a.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Foul, Frank, there was there was something that were listening,
not a one.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
I watched them all, not one.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
If you triple team a guy, pick him up full court,
you're gonna run into him. It's so dumb that they were.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
Doing right because nobody doesn't thank you.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
That, but yeah, it is he it's to keep the
guy in there. When does this happen in blowouts? We're
starting players in a month? Where is you know, the
month of March. Teams play a ton of games in
the month of Marching. They're leaving them in the game,
you know, to get some inflated record that isn't even authentic.
The last five minutes of the game. If you got
seventy five points, then they took them out with five minutes
(26:19):
to go, that's great, the last five minutes of that game.
Everyone should watch the last five minutes of the game.
And you tell me if you think that's good for basketball.
But that's and that's legitimate.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
And go look at everybody that was watching in the stands.
Go look at everybody. Look at the amazing feeling that
you got when he challenged that call, that was the
most fun challenge ever in the history of the NBA.
But everybody wants to give it crap because he passed
Kobe Bryant for second place. And again, if this was
(26:50):
somebody who was more a traditional scorer, everybody would be like, oh, okay,
those a couple of silly points at the end, but okay,
they just can't wrap their minds around Bam of Bio
doing it.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Do you you You've covered pat Riley for a million years,
You've been around them. Pat Riley's thrilled this morning that
that's how the game went down. What do you what
do you honestly think pat Riley feels about it.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
Pat Riley is a guy who coached in the nineties.
He is a guy who probably doesn't think that Bam
should have stayed in the game, but afterward would probably
be like, yeah, no, I probably would have done the
same thing in retrospect, because look, this is what gets
This is what it's like heat versus everybody like you
talk about. All they care about is the people that
(27:35):
they are entertaining and the people and they're going to
try to win as much as possible, and they're going
to try to give their fans as much to cheer
about possible. That's what he was doing.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
I don't think forty I don't think forty three three
throws is exciting.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
I know, but why is that not on the Wizards?
Why is that not on the in the building? So
so frank when you like in the previous seasons where
somebody scored sixty two or Kobe, Damien Lood whoever through
three quarters, and people are just like, you gotta let
him play, you gotta let him see if he'll break
the record. What do we think that would look like?
It would look exactly like last night. A team that
(28:08):
has triple and quadruple teaming somebody and doing things that
they've never practiced and would constantly foul somebody. That's what
that would look like. It's never going to be pretty
like what did we expect? Like you give the ball
the Bam and then the Wizard's double team and then
he passes it out and we're all playing happy, ethical basketball. No,
that's exactly what that was going to look like.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
And yet they did take him out, so they knew
there was a point where it was too much. My
only question would be why that point if not three
minutes earlier, why then why not just keep him in
and try to go for a hundred. You just said
he's probably never going to do this again. Who knows
if there'll be another player seventeen points from one hundred.
Why didn't they keep fouling Washington and try to get
the guy one hundred points? If eighty three is fine,
(28:49):
why not a hundred?
Speaker 2 (28:51):
My only question, Frank was good?
Speaker 6 (28:54):
Sorry, My only question, Frank Izolas, who are you rooting
for last night? Team USA or Team Middle in question?
Speaker 1 (29:01):
And are you outraised that no one on the Italian
team is from Italy?
Speaker 2 (29:04):
How about that?
Speaker 3 (29:05):
No? The great The great thing is that Bam and
Simone Fontekia became the sixth duo in NBA history to score.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
Why because the game was still in question while he
was taking shots. Well, the reason to take him out, Frank,
is because he's not going to get to a hundred
if there was, if there was five minutes left, they
probably would leave him in.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
You needed Simone Fontekio, You needed the Italian in there
to get to get the.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Yeah. So who? So Frank answered Taylor's question, who are
you rooting for?
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Probably Italy because should probably still get I always look
for the underdog. Italy would be the underdog.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
I mean in the United States.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yeah, Mark DeRozan not knowing the rules like I am listen,
I'm a trader. I am no longer rooting for the
United States of America. I am rooting for Italy. Shame
on them. And de Rosa should be fired. How about that?
Speaker 3 (29:55):
What do you think they fired him during the tournament?
Just probably happened before you know what's funny MLB network
Mark de rose is really good. Yeah, and he knows
a lot. It's amazing that he's in a position now
to make decisions and he listened. But he did say
he would have taken Bam out with about five.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
So he just you know, we are We are a
hater nation, is what we are. Because that was any Again,
if anybody would have watched the first three and a
half quarters and then shut off their TV and then
the next day saw that he scored eighty three, would
have been like, that was the most amazing thing ever. Instead,
we all want to harp on the crazy nonsense and
(30:34):
not give the Wizards any blame for what happened, because
the Wizards were doing stupid stuff.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Too well, Hang on, the blame goes to the league
office because now we have ten teams in the league
that are trying to lose. So you have that factored in,
you have the officiating, no offense. It's not that great
like all these inflated scoring games that happened in October November.
Look at the free throws that guys are taking all
that's all the shit.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
It's been that for a while now, though.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
But on forty three free throws Kobe Kobe, like my
tweet said, Kobe and Michael Jordan their most ever. It's
the free throw was twenty seven.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
But go back and look at them.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
They'res.
Speaker 5 (31:09):
But it's not ghost call called. He's a big he's
a big man doing all this that people don't normally do.
He's going to get fouled all the time. In fact,
I would argue Bam is one of the least well
officiated players in the league. He gets fouled all the time.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
I don't want to see that credle on the court.
They better erase it. And I don't want that culture.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
Jersey don't war that anymore.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Right.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
I have no idea why he's so fired up about this.
Who cares what anyone thinks.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
You saw the.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
Game, and he has because I love Frank. That's why
Frank is my guy.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
I got Frank.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
I need Frank to see things.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Mike, well, we love Frank too.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
So let's go to the judges here on this fight, Taylor,
I'll go to you first.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
We'll go around the room, just like a boxing match.
How do you score it? Taylor is solo versus goody Eras,
how do you score it?
Speaker 6 (31:53):
I'm sorry, is he I've got isolo winning this ten
to nine, but I will offer I think to compromise
for both sides. For Frank, everybody has to go watch
the last five minutes. For Izzy, everybody has to go
watch the first however many minutes.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
I'm perfectly fine watching none of it. Let's go to
Let's come out, Yep, I'm out. Let's go to Bordop.
I got too many things to do.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Board up, Ricord, I don't know what side he's on.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
How do you score this? Ricardo? I'm with Izzy. No,
that's how you play the game. That's that's the heat.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Guy.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Yeah, Army, Let's go to Iowa Sam in Sherman Oaks,
Iowa Sam.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
How do you how do you score this? Go ahead?
How do you score to break it? I assume it's
on you on passion alone. I have to give the
I have to give it to Israel good. Tiars wrong.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
Let's go she's coming from a Kobe fan.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Let's go to Dan Bayer until I get the right answer. Dan,
he stepped out. Let's go to mikey A until I
get the right answer. Mikey A, how do we judge this?
I Sola versus Goudieirez.
Speaker 8 (32:55):
I disagree with Taylor. It's not ten nine, it's ten
to seven.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Go Frank, all right, Yes, let's go to executive producer
Jason back in Sherman Oaks.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Jason, how do you score it?
Speaker 6 (33:06):
As the guy who chose a Gonzaga highlight over Bam,
I sink solo, U murdered j Has.
Speaker 5 (33:13):
And history will have you all being incorrect.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
I will go as a guy who didn't watch the
first three and a half quarters and will not watch
the final six minutes of the game.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
I have I sold the winning ten nothing. I've been
set up. Frank. Congrats, Frank, you're the heavyweight champion of
the world. He's still there.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
Probably not. Don't get me started. On the Knicks.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Wow, he just left.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
Frank said, f you guys, I'm out of here.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Not you guy, Not you guys. He rocked out on
all of us, just me, just you would board Apricordo. Yeah,
I have something here. I don't know eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
That is eight seven seven on Fox.
Speaker 5 (34:02):
If you missed any of today's shit time out, I.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Am so mad at port out. Ricardo and Iowa saym
I mean geez.
Speaker 5 (34:08):
I know what they're doing. Read the room, fella, right.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
So Taylor has an update here on what the heater
doing to celebrate BAM's big night last night?
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Taylor, what's going on here?
Speaker 6 (34:51):
So I'm looking at what Ricardo's doing during the break,
and he's adding something to his cart, and I'm like,
what the heck is going on over there? The Heat
are customizing sp I shall at a bio eighty three
jerseys at the team's store to commemorate BAM's historic night,
and the jerseys are he guessed it, eighty three dollars.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Wow, bargain.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Yeah, he should add my fist to that cart because
I'm going to punch anyone in the face who wears
that shirt.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
I mean, seriously, what are we celebrating here?
Speaker 5 (35:17):
Only the only the biggest scoring game that any of
us have ever seen with our eyes right well, I
mean maybe Riley saw Wilt.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
You don't know that.
Speaker 8 (35:27):
Can I get forty three and pay forty three dollars
for it for the free throws?
Speaker 5 (35:31):
Or forty three?
Speaker 1 (35:31):
And in the back of the says, first half, what
do you want the shirt to read? Mikey Bam eighty
three on forty three free throw attempts?
Speaker 5 (35:41):
I wanted to read take that, Tim McMahon.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
But what you're saying you are thanking me for talking
you off the ledge, and you're contradicting yourself because clearly
you still care about what the national media is saying about.
But you know they don't like the heat. Let's start there. Well,
no one like you said it. I didn't know. We
got a team and a player that we didn't deserve, okay,
and therefore everyone is upset about it. And I'm talking
about Lebron Bosham Wade okay, because they don't think we're
(36:08):
a great sports down all right, and I've been fighting
that fight for twenty years and we're not the best
sports down.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
But doesn't matter. They decided to play here.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
But that's like the starting premise of all of this
is people don't like the heat and they don't like
their culture.
Speaker 5 (36:21):
If you are a sports fan who loves the US
against the world, maybe this is the best sports fan
this BET's city and everything else. But look, it's just
it's annoying because we want to talk about the humanity
of it. We want to talk about respecting Kobe posthumously.
Never mind that Bam was a guy who was not
(36:42):
supposed to be any of this, who his whole goal
coming up through the NBA is just to buy his
mam a house because they grew up in a double
wide trailer in North Carolina.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
Breaking news from Fox Sports.
Speaker 6 (36:57):

Speaker 8 (37:13):
Bold?
Speaker 3 (37:13):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Is it your thoughts on all three?
Speaker 3 (37:17):
To be?
Speaker 5 (37:18):
Huh? His girlfriend? Who is the best women's basketball player
alive right now? Was there a woman who has helped
him with his game? And when you saw some of
that post play, which you and I'm talking about everybody
listening didn't actually watch, you were like, holy cow, that
(37:41):
dude is amazing. Thank you Aga Wilson for helping him
with his postgame. His mom was there, like it is unbelievable.
How heartwarming of a story this was. But everybody wants
to poop on it.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Did you hear what Taylor said about toob shut up?

Love Trapped
Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
