LA Sports don't forget podcast our show. We've had a
lot of great sports talk. Although some of our shows
have been cut short. I do believe we've delivered great

(01:50):
sports talk. Did podcast form. You can listen to the
show and podcast it or stream it live on the
iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
It is now time top story of it.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
Well, you've come to the wrong place. That that is
my message. Just know that you walked in, not you
the people listening that decided to engage on social media.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Are you giving me a record scratch moment? Matt, I
will not like when I pulled up in a bright
yellow Nissan Pathfinder to a bar in Manhattan, Kansas to
find directions with the holiday up exactly. O.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
Hey guys, Hey, anybody know Hey Kyla bunka dude, I
would suggest you turn your ass around, getting back in
that abomination of a Japanese vehicle you are driving, and
continue east all in that interstate. No, the select minority
who walked in, who had an agenda, who thought they

(02:51):
were armed with definitive details to dominate a debate, they
were lying in wait, waiting for this moment to pile
unce you have come to the wrong place. And I
say shame, I mean shame for shame on freaking punk

(03:13):
ass steven A. Smith, that freaking fool, you know, walk
around and talk all tough and now walk back all
that tough talk after Lebron got in your face for
no good reason at all. And everybody that has a
lick of common sense knows damn well that he isn't

(03:37):
going to do a damn thing about his problem with
Steven A. Smith and how he's talking about his son
courtside at a Laker game, not a thing. And yet
this guy backs down then instead of telling him to
pound sand, and the next day pretends like he would
have done something different and been mister tough guy at
the conversation was private. And now today after one game,

(04:04):
one game where Bronnie James has a good shooting night,
seven to ten from the field, two of four on
his threes.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
That's all.

Speaker 4 (04:14):
We're selling. All five assists. All right, we'll celebrate those
two fine five assists. You can have that. Way to go,
Way to go, good shooting night, Way to go, Bronnie.
That's it. That's all. I gotta say. Four turnovers, four
files and a minus thirty six. The Lakers lost the

(04:34):
game when he was on the floor by thirty six points.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Did you hear the first segment of Adam Figures and
Kates The Fat Show? I did not hear. They attacked Kates.
They double team Kates like the two midgets against Nacho
Lebra and nod at his ankles and told him how
great BRONI was. That all Kates was was a hate
and ass hater and he's been poisoned by the Petrick
some money show. You didn't even hear that, Matt, You'd

(05:02):
be you'd be bloody at the mouth and anger if
you heard.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
You, And I would say to those guys, you've come
to the wrong place, exactly, you have come to the
wrong place. He lost the game by thirty six points
when he was on the floor, second only to Shake Milton,
who was a minus thirty seven, and the next worst
number is nearly twenty points better a gentleman by the

(05:26):
name of Trey Jemison who was minus nineteen. Now, people
that are pushing back on that, because of course the
haters are gonna hate, and Adam and Figures, the F
and the A of the Fat Show's namesake, are going
to bring up, Well, Brodie played thirty minutes in a
blowout loss. Okay, I'll take that. He did play thirty

(05:48):
minutes in a blowout loss, a game they lost by
twenty nine. Let's see here NBA players as in a
first round pick Dalton Connect, he played thirty one. NBA
player Mark Heth Morris played twenty eight, gave Vincent played
twenty five. Those are NBA players. Those are guys that
are in rotation or have an extensive NBA resume. Dalton

(06:09):
Connect a first round pick and a regular rotation player
all season long. Markeith Morris an NBA champion and a
ten plus year vet and gave Vincent a key player
on an NBA Finals team in a five year NBA vet.
Markeith was plus seven, Vincent minus six. Connect minus ten.
Those are NBA players, not minus thirty freaking six. I

(06:36):
would have been I know it was harsh. I would
have been happy to say something positive about the adding.
I really would have been about a young player having
his best game so far in his rookie season that's
been incredibly disappointing.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Otherwise, you can't because the social media army over celebrates yes,
and it makes people furious. People right minded people are
made to be angry.

Speaker 4 (06:57):
That's exactly that his spot on I want. I have
no problem saying, hey, way to go seven to ten,
fifty percent on your threes, handful of sists. Great, but
you're shooting under thirty percent from the floor for the season.
You're averaging just ninety seconds of game time. Great, let's

(07:18):
celebrate this. Let's let's take a moment and say, hey,
best game so far, onto the next one instead instead
of just that slap on the ass, way to go,
let's see if you can do it again? All right,
move forward. We got to listen to that freaking fool
stephen A do this that's now making the rounds.

Speaker 5 (07:41):
This is the big picture here that I want to
bring up.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
I might have been wrong. Are you listening Lebron James.

Speaker 5 (07:49):
Are you listening James family, Are you listening.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
To Rich Paula? You're listening to all your people? Because
here's my position.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
My position was all along, Ronnie James needed to be
in the G League. That put him in the G League.
Let him be in the G League his first year,
and then after that, let him come on because I've
always believed that this kid has the potential.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Once I watched him.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
To be in the NBA, that made it good.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
I couldn't do it. I could not. I could I
could not look at myself in the mirror if I
said that publicly? Are you listening begging for forgiveness from
Lebron because his kids scored seventeen points in a twenty
nine point blowout loss where he lost the game against

(08:42):
the Bucks while he was on the floor by thirty
six points. What are you apologizing for that? There's nothing
to Apologie Austin Reeves was undrafted. He poured in forty
five in a game a month ago. Who in the
hell is going to celebrate this like we are? He

(09:04):
was Brownie was seven to ten along with stephen A's embarrassment,
and that's what that was. That was I mean as
embarrassing as it gets in the game recap. I read
that that video was embedded on by the way, so
this was a real you know, kick you in the
nuts and freaking punch you in the kidney.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Oh, it was a high low. And with with the
umbrella of the athletic article, that came down to don't
forget about that.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
Part of it exactly. It's like, who can out apologize
the other I love. I know we made differ on this,
but I always liked Dave mcmanhamon. I thought he did
a great job when I worked with the Lakers. But
my god, Dave, what are we doing? This is his
recap and I'm going to quote from his piece and

(09:54):
just just kind of like, this is a good journalist.
He is. He's good at his job, whatever you say.
And he wrote this dribbling the ball beyond the arc
with Antenta Cowompo guarding him in front of the Laker's bench,
where his father, lebron James satin street clothes. Bronnie James
crossed over left or right behind his back and then

(10:17):
back right to left on the buck star as Ooz
and Oz filled the arena. Next paragraph, the play finished
with James losing the ball out of bounds, but only
after he had driven into the paint, passed attent to cowompo,

(10:39):
with the Bucks star grabbing him and no whistle from
the referee.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Look at him, He's crazy.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
That that's crazy, right, That's that, and that's whats are
celebrating a turnover. NBA people saw and mcminnimon came here
with Lebron, for God's sakes. But NBA people celebate break
this guy because in this way to get into the
favor of clutch sports, that's why they do this. They

(11:09):
think you have to do it. It's sad and it's
hard to be a part of it's madness. I don't
know what happened to the Dave that covered the Lakers
before they forced him to go cover Lebron in his
return to Cleveland. He would not have written that paragraph.
You know, he came back after a couple of shooters
and he was a different lady.

Speaker 4 (11:32):
Those three sentences are celebrating a turnover and a non whistle. Look,
we've got kids. A lot of our listeners have kids.
Those that don't, I hope you can follow this anecdote.
It's analogy here they're failing calculus, nothing but f's on
their major tests, but they're staying in the class. They're

(11:53):
going to tough it out. If they get an A
on an open book quiz, are you going to throw
a goddamn party for him?

Speaker 3 (12:01):
I'm gonna put it on the edge of a pole
and I'm gonna sprint it like Achilles, dragging that body
around the school.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
You got an A on an open book test, Yes,
my kid is back. Uh No, you're gonna say it's
a good start. You're not gonna freaking crown him, Count Calculus.
And again, just speaking to the parties involved with all
of this, all coordinated in sync.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
Easy for you to say, as Count Calculus himself.

Speaker 4 (12:36):
Reddick JJ Reddick with his smarmy, condescending castigation of the media.
All he had to do was leave his post game
with the comments he said about Bronnie, and it would
have been fine because he was very measured. Quote the
confidence is growing. Next step he needs to take and

(12:57):
that he has the tools. He's got a sh at
becoming a quote above average. It's a really good NBA
shooter and it's going to have a chance to really
make an impact. Perfectly put his confidence is growing. The
next step he needs to take is to be more
of an athlete. He's got the tools, but we'll see

(13:17):
he's got a chance. That's essentially great. Thank you, JJ.
You're not overreacting. You're tipping a cap to acknowledge that
he had a good night. So let's put our head
down and get right back to work and continue to No,
you can't can't help himself. He's such an a hole quote.
I've just been impressed with the person that he is

(13:38):
and to deal with frankly bs but he said the
full word because of who his dad is, and to
just keep a level head about it and be a
class act. Says a lot about him, says a lot
about that family and the way Lebron and Savannah have
raised him was obvious to me from the moment when

(14:00):
I started spending time with him on the court this summer.
You didn't need that part, but you know what Lebron did,
Rich Paul needed it.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Yeah, that's why these people do this. They do it
to please the dad. So you go overboard.

Speaker 4 (14:19):
So you did it. You could have just left it
for freaking Pronni and kept it there, kept that focus
where it belonged. It was his best outing by far
on the court as a Laker, and let's see if
he can keep it going and build off of it

(14:40):
and get some confidence from it and work on becoming
an NBA instead. Now, no, gotta make sure did I
get hey, did I say Savannah? You did?

Speaker 6 (14:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (14:50):
You mentioned Spanna nice? Not enough people mentioned in Savannah
these days. All right, glad I got her in there.
This is this is the nobs guy that JJ's portrayed
to be, that he hold guys kind. And I understand
it's hard to swing a big d when you make
eight million bucks a year and Lebron's making fifty two
and his freaking agent runs half the league. It makes
being a real a hole hard for a guy that

(15:12):
really likes being a real a hole. And so he's
got to do his boot licking, and he's got to
take his shots at the media, and he's got to
name check the mom and he's got to make sure
Lebron gets in there instead of just talking about Bronni
because Dad has got a groin and he's sitting on
the bench. You lost by twenty nine. With a depleted roster.

(15:33):
The team has lost five of eight This is not
the time to take a victory lap and put your
junk in the face of the media because Bronnie was
a minus thirty six and a twenty nine point loss.
Not the time to take the victory lap. What are
we doing? That's like pretty said commentary on us. The
best thing we could do, or I should not we

(15:57):
the best thing that they could do. Don't play me
and the rest of the season. Yeah, because it's I mean,
it's just gonna come back down.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Quit while you're a hat.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
Yeah, get him to the G League, continue to work,
get better. Celebrate those numbers. I looked it up. His
twenty point six points per game or twenty fourth in
the G League. So there we go. Congratulations to Brony
for that, and let's continue to uh to celebrate his

(16:27):
little victories the way they should be celebrated.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
But if they would have just act like it was like, yeah, great,
good game, let's on to the next instead of acting
like it's some podium to stand on when you lost
by thirty to the Bucks and he's out there playing
garbage time, I don't anyway.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
Yeah, are you listening, lebron Are you listening, James family,
are you listening, James got.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Up, stop trying to stop kissing.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
Their ass like the media is is more embarrassing than
it's ever been in the history of the world. And
you're kissing Lebron's ass. It's a sad commentary.

Speaker 4 (17:03):
That's a pretty billious commentary on us. That's right, Coach,
it is. It is a sad commentary that the highest
paid member of the sports media, who can have a
complete and total f you position because he makes twenty
million bucks a year, has to grovel and beg for
forgiveness from Savannah and Bryce James because he was critical

(17:26):
of a guy that's got no business being in the
NBA yet and happened to have a good shooting night
while posting a minus thirty six in a twenty nine
point loss.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
Well, there you go. That is some Laker talk for you. Yeah,
and we'll be right back with more great sports talk.

Speaker 7 (19:55):
You you dug in archive for ninety, one didn't?

Speaker 8 (19:59):
You?

Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yeah was it like on A? Cuba actually it was, alright,
MAN i mean.

Speaker 7 (20:05):
Other than the people walking around with machine guns the,
MILITARY i, mean everything else was.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
Cool other than, that it was totally. Fine but the
fact that you can get shot by someone in the
military at, anymore, well at.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Least it was a teenager with a machine. Gun that's
the coolest.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
Part Tracy petro said it there on the. Intro it
does feel Like mick is a a. Coach cronen is
a tournament, coach is a you, know let's let's get
the big games rolling here to really get this thing
moving sort of. Guy what did you take away from
the first round of THE ncaa tournament and maybe if
this team looked different than maybe what they had looked

(20:41):
in That Big ten tournament or toward the end of
the regular.

Speaker 7 (20:43):
SEASON i think the loss in The Big ten tournament
kind of reshifted everybody's focus that you can't just show
up and. Win you got to really be locked into
the game. Plan you got to be focused on who
the guys. Are i've noticed that the rotation was. Shorter

(21:06):
he didn't go too deep on the. Bench he Played
mara a lot more out. There and you, know at
the end of the, day you go with what you
can trust and what's going to win the basketball. Game
and he did an excellent job of managing the. Players
now it might be you, know other guys to step
up the next, game but he took advantage of his
size that.

Speaker 4 (21:25):
Game what kind of weapon Is mari you always hear
about you got to get good play from your, guards
and they certainly got that in that game last. Night
but how unique a, weapon how valuable a. Weapon i'm
just kind of thinking back to last Year tracy and
What Zach, edy not saying He's Zach, edy but just
kind of what a guy with that kind of size
was able to do and help and Carry purdue to
The national championship.

Speaker 7 (21:44):
Game what he enables your team to do is not
it doesn't show up in the stat. Sheet he's he's
seven to, three he's extremely. Long he's a rim. Protector
so that enables the guards to push out and pressure
the perim guys even more. So so there was pressure
up on jump, shots pressure up on three point, shots

(22:05):
and that's the reason why they couldn't buy, one because you,
know outside the first two three pointers of the, game
it was hard to get an open. Three and those
guys are really pressuring the ball, handlers they're pressuring the
people catching, it they're closing out. Quick guys that were
shooting three point shots were shooting shots with hands them
down their, throat you, know and it's hard to hit

(22:27):
shots like. That and the reason being if they get
by those, guys you have mar protecting the. Basket and
there's no way they can score at the.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
Basket the Great Tracy murray is our. Guest he's In, Lexington.
Kentucky and how do you like me, Now. Kentucky we're
having a good time talking ABOUT ucla and what they're
able to do against maybe this Great tennessee team that
we've all been hearing about all year. Long tennessee's been
one of the best teams in THE. Ncaa what kind

(22:56):
of opponent are they For Mick cronin's? Group what kind
of matchup do you think it's gonna to.

Speaker 7 (23:00):
Be tennessee is a very good. TEAM i think they're
a mirror image of each other if they're playing at
the height the same the same. Level both great defensive.
Teams ziegler is a heck of a, guard BUT i
think Sky clark matches up with him pretty. Well lanier
can shoot the heck out of the, ball but if

(23:23):
you keep the pressure on him and make him put
the ball on the, deck he doesn't get any catch
and shoot three point shots AND i think he might
struggle a little. Bit then it comes down the, side you.
KNOW i think The, bruins you, know can match up
with this team pretty. Well it just depends on the
defense and if the offense can make some shots that.

Speaker 4 (23:42):
Night how much you, know you just kind of look
through and one of the reasons Why tennessee got the
seed they. GOT i, mean they knock Off auburn And
alabama and you, know play a tight game Against florida
for the most part in the in THE Sec championship.
Tournament how much do you think the, change OR i
should say the jumping competition in conference FOR ucla helps

(24:04):
them out going against a team that has kind of
that sort of test going into THE ncaa tournament as.
Well is there anything to that tracy that they've had
to battle with These Big ten teams all.

Speaker 7 (24:15):
YEAR i think it helps a. Lot because there were
no days, off no games. Off in The Big, ten
the last place team can beat, You SO i think
with the jumping, competition The bruins are more battle tested
than they were in the. Past with these type of,
games you're playing a N cublea style of game every

(24:36):
game in your conference and the conference, tournament and then
they learned a valuable lesson Of wisconsin that you got
to be ready to go or you're going. Home AND
i don't think the guys like how that, felt and
they're approaching this differently. NOW i just hope that they
approached whatever they did last game before the, game just

(24:58):
bottle it up and do it the same, thing because
they were really prepared to come out there and go
to war and.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
Win Tracy murray is our guest live From. Lexington how
you like me Now? Kentucky, yes he is In. Kentucky
it's an Exciting, uh it is an exciting venue rapp.
Arena so Much tracy has been made of the travel
this year FOR, ucla and you just Answered matt's. QUESTION

(25:23):
i thought very well about how hardened they became throughout.
It did the travel harden?

Speaker 8 (25:29):
You?

Speaker 2 (25:29):
TRACY i mean you've been through the wars at every. Level.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
Uh did you have a good time with this group
traveling around or or is it wearing you out all
the way out there In?

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Kentucky?

Speaker 7 (25:38):
Now Well i'm old, now so it's wearing me. Out
but but these guys are. Young these guys are, young
and you, know if you have any aspirations of playing
in THE, nba then you got to be ready to
travel and. Perform so you, know these guys ARE i
think they're locked in and they're ready to. Go it's.

Speaker 4 (25:56):
There we talked about the, Guards, tracy is there you
know kind of one sort of. SKILL i don't have
skills the right. Word is there one thing that you
think you need more than? Anything Like sky had the, threes,
Right Dylan andrews had the. Assists Eric daly was kind
of your go to. Finishers score got to the free
throw line of. Bunch is there something that plays more
than anything else in terms of what the MATCH i

(26:19):
know that THAT nck talked about the matchups on At Utah.
State that's why those eight assists were so important From Dylan.
Andrews but maybe something they really need to have Against
tennessee from those guards in order to get out of this.

Speaker 7 (26:29):
THING i think they need to be able to knock
down perimeter. Shots because if he knocked down perimeter, shots
that's gonna open up mar that's gonna open Up Billy,
dillon that's gonna open Up daily closer to the. Basket
so if the guys are continuing to knock down those,
threes AND i Think Dylan andrews got The bruins off
to an excellent start yesterday with those two, threes because

(26:51):
the Way Utah states. Started they started like they were
about to run up out of here with those two,
threes And dylan had an answer for. Him SO i
think getting up to a quick start is, great and
these guys need to knock down perimber or jump shots
because the defensive effort is going to be. There they're
going to. Defit BUT i just think they need to
continue to move to, basketball make plays for each other

(27:12):
and create over shots and then knock those shots.

Speaker 4 (27:14):
DOWN i, know you, know you always hear the cliche
that it's all one game at a. Time you never
look ahead as someone who's been through the. Tournament how
hard is it not to look ahead as as a.
PLAYER i mean maybe it, is but you, know everyone's
got a. Bracket you can, see you know what your
your quarter of that bracket looks, like and who's out
there and who got not you know McNeice knocked off

(27:36):
Clems in and and and you know that sort of
Gun zaga knocked Out, georgia like all that sort of
stuff is happening around. You is it incredibly hard for
these kids to focus on just the task at hand
in the?

Speaker 7 (27:47):
Tournament, WELL i mean, yeah you're always keeping an eye
on what's going. On but the reason why these teams
are getting knocked off is because they're looking at the
next game and not looking at what's in front of.
Them where it happened to, me happened to our team
my sophomore. Year we went To, Syracuse New york and
get stung By Penn. State looking Past Penn state To North,
carolina it's, like, well you can't do. That you got

(28:09):
you gotta take care of the task at.

Speaker 3 (28:10):
Hand are you Surprised stefanovic looked as well as good
as he did last.

Speaker 7 (28:15):
Night, no he's a. Veteran He's, uh he's one of
those guys that you're going to depend on when the
lights are the. Brightest he's been around long enough to
understand What mick.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Is asked out of.

Speaker 7 (28:27):
Him, uh he knows what high level basketball. Is he,
knows you, know as being an experienced. Player he has
a poise about himself and a leadership about himself to
where he can go out there and whether the SHOT's
falling or, not he's going to. Compete he's going to,
defend he's gonna, rebound he's gonna get a couple of,

(28:47):
steels he's gonna make, plays for his. Teammates him knocking
his shot down is just the icing on the. Case
he's valuable when he's out there because of all of that.
STUFF i just, said.

Speaker 4 (28:56):
Last thing for, You tracy mixed presser making the round and,
say at least you know a few of the clips
particular than one about you, know it's a lot harder
than ninety nine point nine percent of these kids think
it's going to. Be and that's when, Yah i'm sure
you saw. It that's when you, transfer you you, whatever
you quit or you move on or whatever it, is
you get upset or you just get to. Work Kind

(29:17):
of just speaking to, you you were that point one
percent level of. Player but you know to what he
addressed was, College you know that much harder for. You
were you surprised when, you you, know showed up AT
ucla kind of the jump in competition that you.

Speaker 7 (29:31):
Faced it's every level that you jump, up whether it's
junior high school to high, school high school to, college
college to, pros it's another whole. Level it's another whole
level of, experience another whole level of, speed another whole
level of, strength another whole level of skill set in BASKETBALL.
Iq so it is a, jump and it is about

(29:54):
how fast can you adjust to that, Level and it
is about getting to work and making sure your work
makes sense to what you're trying to, do you, know
what you're trying to accomplish as a. Player so it
is a different. Level and there are far too many
kids that run away from the problems instead of getting the.

(30:17):
Work AND i just you, know that's why the transfer
portals so live because people failed in those spots or
they're getting more money in another, spot and they disappear
from maybe situations that are good for. Them you, know
sometimes all money ain't good, money and sometimes you, know
a situation may look you, know the grass is not
always greener on the other, side and you got to

(30:38):
look at you, know what do you want to get
out of? This what do you want to get out
of your, career your college? Experience you, know what are
you trying to do with? It and then that should
be your decision.

Speaker 3 (30:50):

a goalpost during a high school rivalry game while the
football coaches celebrate its. Arrival it's one of the all
