Speaker 1 (00:06):
Right right, right, right, right, right right.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Welcome everybody to the Mic and Ant Show. My name
is mab Mez. This is my co host, inspector Ant,
and introduce yourself. Bro.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
What's good? What's good?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
It's expected on for another good show. We'll be gonna
talk about for today.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Well, yeah, I guess it's the hot topic. You can
see it in the background. We'll get into the NBA
finals right now. Series went back and forth. Right now,
Okac is up three to two. Halliburton just put up
a stinker, possibly got injured. That sucked. What are you
what are you thinking about the series so far?
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Well, right now, my prediction is my whole true I said, okay,
see in six, so right now it is leaning towards
that way. Was what happens? I think maybe? I think
the X Games tomorrow Thursday. I can't remember those who
happens in the next couple of days. The haller Burdon injury.
I'm kind of nervous for him because it's the same
(01:12):
injury KD had five six years ago, and then he
continued to play on and ended up tearing his achilles.
So I'm hoping that you know, that doesn't happen with Halliburton.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
But he did.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
He did come up with a stinker last night. He
didn't even make a field goal. He scored all his
points from the free throw line.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yeah yeah, it was a bad, bad time to have
your worst game along with a possible injury. Hopefully everything's good.
I predicted thunder and seven. We'll see how it goes.
I believe one of us is heading to be right.
It's just gonna come down there for six games or
seven games.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I've seen online though, a lot of.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Seattle Sonic fans are pissed off and they're hating it
because the Thunder that used to be their team and
they obviously left Seattle moved to Oklahoma City.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
They kind of hate watching the finals right now.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
But yeah, I kind of feel sorry for that because
that's the one thing I thought about too watching the
game last night.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I was like, that shit should have been Seattle.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah. I think them winning it will probably secure the
fact that the Seattle Super Sonics will be back soon,
as odd as that sounds.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
You know, the league is talking about the expansion and
there's a rumor that Seattle might get an expansion team,
and my name of the Sonics, I don't know how
that works though, since you know technically the Sonics or
the Thunder because I know with football, when the Houston
Orders moved to Tennessee and then he used to have
got an expansion team, they had to change the name
(02:51):
to the Texans.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
They couldn't use Orders.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
That It's only if they still on the trademark because
remember the Bobcats went back to the Charlotte Hornets.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yes, right, you're right about this.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You they can do it. Seattle's open. So if nobody
owns this, you know, the the SuperSonics name, I think
they'll be good. They just gotta gotta get it back
in motion. I think that's some of the best, even
though it's where green and brown. That's some of my
favorite jerseys and probably the NBA history. I love those jerseys.
(03:24):
They used to have.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Oh yeah, like the green and gold once that they
had and then yeah, my childhood was in the nineties
when they had the yellow and green, the.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yellow green and the like burgundy stripes. Yeah, with a
big gass Sonics across the chills. Yep.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah, I mean the Sonics always had fire jerseys. I
don't even know why they felt like if they was
gonna touch a team, it'd be that team, But we'll see,
We'll see what happens. But and I believe Seattle will
get their team back eventually. I don't think there's obviously
that's the big topics in the nb's not much more
to discuss. I do want to ask you briefly about
(04:05):
Kevin Durant. Do you believe that if you was the
if he leaves, where would you like to see him go?
Which is given me like a top three landed spots
type of situation.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Well, my Knicks said that weren't interested, even though it's
one of the teams that he wanted to go to.
I know San Antonio is interested, Minnesota is interested. I
think if i'm kid d I want to go to
a team that is on the CUSP, a team like
Minnesota that's been to the Western Conference two years in
(04:37):
a row, a team like San Antonio that's young and upcoming.
Maybe he could be the guy that Houston's and other
team young and upcoming team, So maybe he could be
the one to kind of take him over the top.
But I think also, but I think the problem we
watched so many teams are hesitant to drive me to
trade for him is that he is about the years
(04:57):
thirty seven and so do you want to give up
so many assets.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
For a thirty seven year old player?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
And I think that's one of the reason why the
Knicks said no, because they don't want to give up
you know, draft picks and access just to get a
guy who's you know, might only have like maybe one
or two good years left in him.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, I think I think it makes perfect sense. I
that's I guess that's the pros and the cons. Because
there's teams I could see him on. I don't see
them giving up much. But I guess if I if
I was to pick a team and people are gonna
hate this, it's going to be the Warriors, probably the
(05:37):
team to do it for one well day.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
According to rumors of reports is that the Warriors tried
to eat the Warriors wandered them during the trade their line.
They had a trading place and k D said no,
he didn't want to go back there because, as we
all know, part of the reason why he left it
because you know, he was beeping with Draymond and whatever
happened to him and Dreymond, they never squashed that ship.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Yeah, I just that could be an issue.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
In here going back, I agree. I just think if
a team is going to give up that that and
once he realizes that's his only option or stay put,
then that starts becoming a different story. And not even
I mean technically, if I guess, if I'm the Warriors,
and it'd probably be a bad way to end it,
(06:23):
But I probably trade Draymond if it was getting me KD.
Maybe he's part of the trade they see.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I think, to me, the Warriors doesn't make sense, and
only because like your best players are all old anyway. No,
Steph is thirty seven, Jimmy Butler's thirty six, Draymond's thirty five.
So and then if your phoenix, like why do you
want Dremond? So you want to trade a thirty seven
(06:52):
year old for a thirty five year old?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
No, I think I think Draymond might be a trade
and buy out candidate in that type of situation.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Oh, kind of like with the the Jazz did when
they traded for Russell Wistbrook.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, like meaning he just part of the trade because
Katie's not willing to go there with him there maybe
if they can't get past that, I don't think Draymond
would actually play for that team, I think he'd probably
end up a free agent. But the only and I
don't believe it makes sense to me neither. But my
whole thing is this their cruising to a rebuild anyways,
(07:26):
like it's it's coming, right. So for a franchise that's
won a lot recently, and I don't believe that they
would that this would bring another championship, right, But if
you're telling me you have three years to try to
bring in another ring, and you believe Steph and Durant
(07:51):
can at least make those three years, right, it gives
you the three years that at least that'd probably be
a best shot. The next three years unless something drastic
came out. I didn't see coming where you're gonna end
up rebuilding anyways. So i'd say you, if you can
have three stars possibly you know, bringing a couple of
(08:13):
good depth pieces or contributors, and give it a three
year ago, I think they'll fall short every year, but
they'd be better than they are now. And inevitably, whether
they made that move or not, they're gonna rebuild soon anyways.
They're gonna have to blow up soon anyways.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
See to me, because of their age with all of them.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I just see them being exactly even if they bring
in KD, I still see them being exactly where they
were this year, which is getting knocked out in the
second round.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah see, I would say smilar similar type idea.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Because like what you're what you're proposing. It kind of
reminds me of the late nineties when Houston they decided
they're gonna get old ass Chemologa, well, old ass Charles
Berkley and old.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Ass hold on, these guys are still going at a
high level, man, so you get.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
You just say, like, well, Houston, you need to work.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
At that point, bro, like they didn't even they didn't
even make those players stay in shape at that in
that era. Like KD is still putting up like for
most teams, he's still be their top scorer. Yeah, so
I would just look at it like, I don't think
it's a successful remedy. So I'm agreeing with you. But
(09:36):
if there was a team that was thinking that it's
possible you have to be then like I don't know
who else, it would be real quickly though.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I don't even know how Phoenix's GM has been able
to keep his job because this is a team that
three or four years ago, was in the NBA Finals
and they decided to blow up that whole entire team.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
To get KD. I need to get Brevy Beale, and
it's brought up in the face. They haven't even close
to getting better with Furna.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, I agree, another sleeper team, I would say, and
this is this is dependent, very very very dependent on health. Right,
if Tatum has a setback and he looks like it
could be a longer recovery than they thought, and maybe
(10:25):
it might even take longer to get healthy, maybe more
like a two year timeline, I could see Boston giving
it a shot, needing another scorer in there to replace him.
If if like I said, but if Tatum comes back
and he's full go, or they have an idea he's
gonna be good, you know, way before the playoffs come,
(10:47):
I wouldn't even see that logical. But if he does
have a setback, I guess I could see that them
doing that to kind of replace a star, but it'd
be it'd be a go. I think KD might be
in all honesty, I think he's stuck where he's at.
I think this is the one time he's not going
to be able to get out of where he's at.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah, it says here that the KD really wants to
go to the Spurs, but Phoenix, so that to make
the trade happen, the Spurs have.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
To be willing to give up the number two pick.
I don't know if they want to give that up.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
They ain't giving that up. That's not happening. But he
would he's a good fit over there. I could see
why he would want to go there. But well, we'll
move along. Good luck to KDI, good luck getting out
of there. We'll see how it goes. A few things
I want to touch on in baseball. This pissed a
(11:48):
lot of people in Boston off Red Sox traded devis
the same friend. Let's pull up. I know you sent
it to me. Let's see what they got in return.
So the contract was crazy though, three hundred and thirteen
point five million, but what they got back in exchange.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
And the Giants are gonna eat up two hundred and
fifty million to day.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Yeah, I mean, I'm sure that's a big part with
you know, we'll get into possible reasons why he was traded,
I guess. But let's see they got pittures. Carl Harrison,
Jordan Hicks, and Jordan Hicks. They got outfilled that James
Tibbs the third, and they got minor league pitcher Jose Bellow.
(12:42):
I mean for any I, like I said, we'll get
into what possibly happened, but for one of your best players,
I could kind of see why a lot of fans
is I'm pretty upset about that. What do you think
about the compass? Obviously it was this really a money move.
It looks like to me they freed up most of
the money they owed to him. What do you think
(13:03):
about what they got in compensation?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I mean, the conversation is they get some they get
some pictures. I don't really follow the Red Sox too much,
so I don't know what their picture situation is, but
they get some pictures. They get some young minor league
guys who may or may not be something. Because in baseball,
it's not so much about giving up the draft picks.
It's about you know, your your farm system, giving up,
(13:28):
you know, trading for players in the minor leagues. Yeah,
so I think for Boston it sounds like they're trying
to rebuild, They're trying to get younger. They're saying that
Raphael Devers is the last player on the team from
that twenty eighteen World Series championship team, which surprised me
because he's only like twenty six, so he was like
(13:51):
nineteen when they won the World Series. But uh yeah,
and I think for the Giants is a great move too,
because they're they're fighting for a playoff spot right now.
So that could you know that this trade could possibly
take him over the top and overtake the Dodgers in
the West.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
We'll see, mm hmm, correct, correct, Well, moving on to
l A, what did.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
You want to talk about why he was possibly trading?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
My bad on that zoning out. You know, I'm a
Dodgers fan even though I'm out here, so I was
trying to skim past this Red Sox ship. But go
ahead to why why he was potentially traded?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Well, yeah, so there was a situation between Devers and
the Boston Police. You know, there was a there was
like a phone call or something like that, and the
rumors are that was part of the decision to it.
Says that he was online doxing, so he got he's
(14:55):
the cops for investigating him.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
For doxing online.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Yeah, I have no idea let me look at up
real quick, and according to reports, that is the part
of the reason why the rest Sous traded on It
says it's a it's a a process of searching for
or publishing private or identifying information about a particular individual
(15:24):
on the internet with malicious attent.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
He's so basically, he sounded he was wilding out.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, San Francisco Manuit traded for someone that's gonna have
charges coming on in the next few days. We'll see it.
We'll see how this goes.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
But I think for.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Them to eat up two hundred and fifty million of
this contract, I don't think they give a fuck.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah, clearly, kind of like the Browns with Watson. We'll
see how We'll see how it goes. But moving to
la Otani. Otani made his return. We're recording this on
the eighth teenth, so actually yesterday he made his return. Yeah, pitching, Yeah,
clarified correct, return to pitching after a long you know,
(16:09):
long away to return after surgery. But let's see his
fastball first game back. He also went two for four
with the double O walk and two ibis as a hitter,
but his fastball went over one hundred. Just actually hit
one hundred even. Fourteen of his twenty eight pitches were
above ninety eight miles an hour. Sounds like he had
(16:30):
a pretty good day. Did What did you think about
his return?
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I was excited because that there was rumors coming into
the season where where the Dodgers gonna let him pitch
because he played so he had an MVP season last
year playing solely as a hitter coming off that Tommy
Jones surgery. Yeah, but I like the way the Dodgers
played it, that they didn't let him pitch at all
last year and even this year they slowed him back
(16:57):
in and wait until the midway one of the seasons
before they actra gont pitch.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
But it looks like he still got to it. Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Me personally, I like the fact that he does both.
And then you mentioned his numbers as a hitter. But
also I think him being a pitcher also as a
depth to that. Uh that pitching lineup is for whatever reason,
every year the Dodgers pitchers they always get hurt right
before the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Yeah, let's let's let's just hope it doesn't it doesn't
go that way.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
I'll say if it does go that way, at least
you got an arm, another arm and short head.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
That can that can pitch for you.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Fair to say, well happy if you need him to go.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
If you need to go, need him to go for
a game in the playoffs, I think he could do it.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I agree, but it definitely after a long, long away
to return. It was good to see him back and
they picked up. Dodgers picked up the win in his
return to so that eight eighty six, eight to six,
had the checks. I got much stuff pulled up on
my phone, but good once again, good to see him back.
(18:05):
Hopefully he stays back on the mound, specifically along with
behind the plate. Now moving on to let's see what
we're gonna get into now, I guess we could touch
on because it's another big topic. The Stanley Cup Finals
just ended. The Florida Panthers secure the win. Let's see
(18:29):
one thing.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
It was over that export back to back, back to
back champions. They beat the Edmonton Oilers for the second
year in the.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Second straight year. Yeah they played the finals last year.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah that doesn't that doesn't happen much. The finals score
today was five to one. Panthers actually won this series
for the two I didn't see too much of the series,
There's been a million things I've been have to keep
up on, but I did catch clips and I did
catch some of the game the last game. It was
a pretty good series. Did you have any thoughts on
(19:04):
the Stanley Cup finals or just playoffs in general?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Now, I think it was a great great finals. Like
you said, last year went seven. This year Florida beat
them in six. Shout out to the Florida Panthers winning
back to back championships. I still think it's weird that
a team from Miami is a one won of the
hockey championship, but you know, shout out to them. Congratulations.
(19:32):
And the drought, the Canadian drought continues though. It's been
thirty two years since the Canadian team won the Stanley
Cup and they're gonna have to wait.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
The country cannon's got to win another year, so they
can't even win in their own sport.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I hear you on that. But yeah, it is funny,
hot weather team winning hockey is Yeah, it's something new.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
That I remember when the La Kings won to it
was about ten ten years ago. It was just like
we were like an LA team just dominating.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Yeah, it's it's funny. It's it's definitely happened a few
times over the years. I guess we'll touch a little
bit on the w n B A before we get
out of here. But the first thing I ask is
what are you thinking about all the dramas surrounding specifically
Angel Reese versus Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Well, okay, well there's a drama today because there's a
huge fight between the Indiana.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Fever before not before that, we just focus just them
too for now. We're gonna get to that right after it.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
No, I mean, I think it's good for the league, honestly,
Like these these two women have been going at it
not since college, and it's now you know, bled into
the w NBA also, and then also too, you look
at the two teams, you know, Taylor Clark at Indiana,
Angel Rees and Chicago, those two cities and now that
far apart from each other. So I think it's a
(21:02):
great rivalry and I think, you know, the Chicago Sky
need to get their ship together so it can they
can actually like play each other in the playoff because.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Of both in the Eastern Conference as well.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Right now, I think Indiana's kind of dominated that matchup.
And then obviously because no one is white, the other
woman's black. Everybody wants to make it a racial thing,
but I just think it's great for the league and
it's and it's made the WNB a more relevant than
they've ever been in their history.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I agree agree on that part of it. I think
that this rivalry has always been a great part of
all sports, and you need that for leagues to grow
because without the stars, people don't want to really watch
the league. You know. I think that injury sometimes with
specifically clock does take it a bit too far. I
(21:52):
think it will touch more than when we get into
today's discuss what happened today, But I think sometime how
she just needs to focus more a little bit more
on basketball than everything outside of basketball, because you even
though it's like in car when when lost record, I
(22:14):
know matters, and that's a big reason where Reese has
the upper hand on her and especially before the w NBA,
not in the w NBA specifically before, but since she's
got there, it's not been much of a rivalry. You know,
it's been physical and like you know, we know y'all
(22:35):
don't like each other, but numbers wise, if you know,
if Jordan and Bird was these type of numbers, it
never would have been a rivalry or Magic versus Bird, Like,
you got to have the numbers to back certain things up.
And that's the part where I think sometimes, especially when
(22:56):
she plays clock at this point, she's getting so frustrated
that your game isn't there like everything else, but your
game is in that game.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Well in general too this year, like her numbers haven't
really muched.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
The hype it's been.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
She struggled.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Well, I don't want to say this whole year. I
think the season just started like a month ago. She
hasn't played well so far this season.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Yeah, and then she got I believe, the Athlete of
the Year, and a lot of people didn't like that,
and I mean, technically, I guess they're not basing it
off this year, but she has to show that she
and she could she got the talent to do it.
But she needs to show that that she deserves that
award because right now, like it just seems like you're
(23:41):
doing too much.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Right And I don't even know what BT was thinking,
because like, you can't tell me that Angel Reese is
the old black female athlete.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
They could have given that award to.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Yeah, I mean Coco Golf, just one of the French
opening tennants, like they could have given it to her,
and I can't.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
I don't. I think a name Clarissa, the female boxer
that goes out with Papoos.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Yeah, I think this could have given to her.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Yeah, there's people you could have you could have gave
it to. But that I guess that leads into the
next next topic. Go on and let the people know
what happened today, all right?
Speaker 1 (24:19):
So I think, uh, I think Indiana's playing Connecticut, I believe,
And there was a scuffle where one of the Connecticut
players they kind of like shoulder they showed a block
and they fell to the ground. And I mean big
up to the Indiana fever because they protected their girl.
(24:40):
And then they got to a fight with the I
wouldn't even say it was a fight. It was just
like a lot of hair pulling and ship but they
got the women got into it was a little of
a scuffle.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
That's one of the biggest things since Kitler.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Car has been drafted is that a lot of these
women in w NBA, they feel like they're coming after her,
like they jose to her or something, and they just
have she has the bulls on the chest.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Mm hmmm, well it's it's I mean, some of it
is probably warranted, but I do agree. I think both
of them, the way they came in, the hype they
came in, I have had bose eyes on their chest.
But one of them is handled a little bit better
since she's got into the league, and one of them
(25:30):
I think is just a little bit too focused on
other stuff. I do like, I do want to say,
I do like the fact that Andel Rees flipped that
me bounds into you know, people trying to get wreck
on her. The trademarkting coons it and she's gonna probably
make millions of dollars off it. Smart woman, you know
what I'm saying, kudos to.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Her every time, every time you turned that ship on Twitter,
she makes money off of me.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yeah, So long story short, I just wish she would
leave some of that extra. She's gonna be a star
outside the w NBA. I'm pretty much sure if that.
Everybody should be able to see that, right, But while
you're here, let's elevate the WNBA. That's what you that's
what you was drafted for, and that's that's honestly what
(26:12):
I would like to see her do well.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Speaking of WNBA though, sorry to cut you off, but like,
what's your thoughts on like the veterans, like the women
that have been in this league for like you know, five, ten,
fifteen years, Like, how do you feel.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
About them hating on them?
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Because I feel like they should appreciate the fact that,
you know, the league is growing, it's more proper than
it's ever been. In the large part it is because
of Angel Rees, the Kitling Clark. But it seems like
the veterans of the WNBA, they seem to be hating
on these women.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I don't know. I guess it could be. Like I said,
I think that when they first first both came in,
that's how it was. But I think now a lot
of that, a lot of them veterans, look, they fell
back off of Clark, And I think it's just maybe
she handled handled her surroundings a little bit better and respected,
you know, a little bit more like what she was
(27:10):
getting into outside of her and reach you know, that's
kind of just always was there, right. But I think,
and this is also demeaning and personality and this isn't
a bad thing because I would be doing the same thing,
Like I think Angel's more more mentally more mentally probably like, actually,
(27:32):
how could I say this right because it's probably not
mentally more louder with her toughness, I should say. So,
she wasn't gonna, you know, bow down to nothing or
be quiet. She's loud, She's vocal, and I think that's
why a lot of the negativity is more gravitated to
her right now, where Clark's more quiet kind of lets
(27:55):
her game do this speaking. And I think that that's
probably you know, the difference right now. I think just
the buzz around them. It was just jealousy in the beginning,
you know, but I think I think it progressed from
jealousy to now some of them might genuinely not like
(28:17):
Angel rees you know what I'm saying. So, I don't know.
I need to see the rest of this year to
see how it goes, because I don't think. I don't
think that Angel Reese is unlikable. That's that I don't.
I don't see that. I just think that she might
be a little too vocal for some of them ladies liking,
if that makes.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Sense, I could see her people the wrong way.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Yeah, that's that's kind of what it is like. You know.
And that's that's part of the reason why I was
saying leave some of the outside stuff alone, is because
I think some of that might come from that, you know,
I don't I don't think it's I think it's on
the court. I think it may be like all the
extra stuff, and I mean walking into the games and
(29:03):
taking forty pitches before you get into the game, and
you know, all that extra stuff where stay look at
we ahead of ball, you know. And don't get me wrong,
she's not the only one doing that, but she's doing
it at the highest level, which is really because.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
They said, out all WNBA players, she has the most
social media followers, and I think sometimes she pays too
much attention to dad then instead of like focusing on
her game.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
And that's that's where the problem lies. But we'll cut
this one short. But ladies and gentlemen, that's gonna wrap

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Welcome everybody to the Mic and Ant Show. My name
is mab Mez. This is my co host, inspector Ant,
and introduce yourself. Bro.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
What's good? What's good?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
It's expected on for another good show. We'll be gonna
talk about for today.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Well, yeah, I guess it's the hot topic. You can
see it in the background. We'll get into the NBA
finals right now. Series went back and forth. Right now,
Okac is up three to two. Halliburton just put up
a stinker, possibly got injured. That sucked. What are you
what are you thinking about the series so far?
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Well, right now, my prediction is my whole true I said, okay,
see in six, so right now it is leaning towards
that way. Was what happens? I think maybe? I think
the X Games tomorrow Thursday. I can't remember those who
happens in the next couple of days. The haller Burdon injury.
I'm kind of nervous for him because it's the same
(01:12):
injury KD had five six years ago, and then he
continued to play on and ended up tearing his achilles.
So I'm hoping that you know, that doesn't happen with Halliburton.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
But he did.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
He did come up with a stinker last night. He
didn't even make a field goal. He scored all his
points from the free throw line.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yeah yeah, it was a bad, bad time to have
your worst game along with a possible injury. Hopefully everything's good.
I predicted thunder and seven. We'll see how it goes.
I believe one of us is heading to be right.
It's just gonna come down there for six games or
seven games.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I've seen online though, a lot of.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Seattle Sonic fans are pissed off and they're hating it
because the Thunder that used to be their team and
they obviously left Seattle moved to Oklahoma City.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
They kind of hate watching the finals right now.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
But yeah, I kind of feel sorry for that because
that's the one thing I thought about too watching the
game last night.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I was like, that shit should have been Seattle.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah. I think them winning it will probably secure the
fact that the Seattle Super Sonics will be back soon,
as odd as that sounds.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
You know, the league is talking about the expansion and
there's a rumor that Seattle might get an expansion team,
and my name of the Sonics, I don't know how
that works though, since you know technically the Sonics or
the Thunder because I know with football, when the Houston
Orders moved to Tennessee and then he used to have
got an expansion team, they had to change the name
(02:51):
to the Texans.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
They couldn't use Orders.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
That It's only if they still on the trademark because
remember the Bobcats went back to the Charlotte Hornets.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yes, right, you're right about this.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You they can do it. Seattle's open. So if nobody
owns this, you know, the the SuperSonics name, I think
they'll be good. They just gotta gotta get it back
in motion. I think that's some of the best, even
though it's where green and brown. That's some of my
favorite jerseys and probably the NBA history. I love those jerseys.
(03:24):
They used to have.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Oh yeah, like the green and gold once that they
had and then yeah, my childhood was in the nineties
when they had the yellow and green, the.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yellow green and the like burgundy stripes. Yeah, with a
big gass Sonics across the chills. Yep.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah, I mean the Sonics always had fire jerseys. I
don't even know why they felt like if they was
gonna touch a team, it'd be that team, But we'll see,
We'll see what happens. But and I believe Seattle will
get their team back eventually. I don't think there's obviously
that's the big topics in the nb's not much more
to discuss. I do want to ask you briefly about
(04:05):
Kevin Durant. Do you believe that if you was the
if he leaves, where would you like to see him go?
Which is given me like a top three landed spots
type of situation.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Well, my Knicks said that weren't interested, even though it's
one of the teams that he wanted to go to.
I know San Antonio is interested, Minnesota is interested. I
think if i'm kid d I want to go to
a team that is on the CUSP, a team like
Minnesota that's been to the Western Conference two years in
(04:37):
a row, a team like San Antonio that's young and upcoming.
Maybe he could be the guy that Houston's and other
team young and upcoming team, So maybe he could be
the one to kind of take him over the top.
But I think also, but I think the problem we
watched so many teams are hesitant to drive me to
trade for him is that he is about the years
(04:57):
thirty seven and so do you want to give up
so many assets.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
For a thirty seven year old player?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
And I think that's one of the reason why the
Knicks said no, because they don't want to give up
you know, draft picks and access just to get a
guy who's you know, might only have like maybe one
or two good years left in him.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, I think I think it makes perfect sense. I
that's I guess that's the pros and the cons. Because
there's teams I could see him on. I don't see
them giving up much. But I guess if I if
I was to pick a team and people are gonna
hate this, it's going to be the Warriors, probably the
(05:37):
team to do it for one well day.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
According to rumors of reports is that the Warriors tried
to eat the Warriors wandered them during the trade their line.
They had a trading place and k D said no,
he didn't want to go back there because, as we
all know, part of the reason why he left it
because you know, he was beeping with Draymond and whatever
happened to him and Dreymond, they never squashed that ship.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Yeah, I just that could be an issue.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
In here going back, I agree. I just think if
a team is going to give up that that and
once he realizes that's his only option or stay put,
then that starts becoming a different story. And not even
I mean technically, if I guess, if I'm the Warriors,
and it'd probably be a bad way to end it,
(06:23):
But I probably trade Draymond if it was getting me KD.
Maybe he's part of the trade they see.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I think, to me, the Warriors doesn't make sense, and
only because like your best players are all old anyway. No,
Steph is thirty seven, Jimmy Butler's thirty six, Draymond's thirty five.
So and then if your phoenix, like why do you
want Dremond? So you want to trade a thirty seven
(06:52):
year old for a thirty five year old?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
No, I think I think Draymond might be a trade
and buy out candidate in that type of situation.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Oh, kind of like with the the Jazz did when
they traded for Russell Wistbrook.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, like meaning he just part of the trade because
Katie's not willing to go there with him there maybe
if they can't get past that, I don't think Draymond
would actually play for that team, I think he'd probably
end up a free agent. But the only and I
don't believe it makes sense to me neither. But my
whole thing is this their cruising to a rebuild anyways,
(07:26):
like it's it's coming, right. So for a franchise that's
won a lot recently, and I don't believe that they
would that this would bring another championship, right, But if
you're telling me you have three years to try to
bring in another ring, and you believe Steph and Durant
(07:51):
can at least make those three years, right, it gives
you the three years that at least that'd probably be
a best shot. The next three years unless something drastic
came out. I didn't see coming where you're gonna end
up rebuilding anyways. So i'd say you, if you can
have three stars possibly you know, bringing a couple of
(08:13):
good depth pieces or contributors, and give it a three
year ago, I think they'll fall short every year, but
they'd be better than they are now. And inevitably, whether
they made that move or not, they're gonna rebuild soon anyways.
They're gonna have to blow up soon anyways.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
See to me, because of their age with all of them.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I just see them being exactly even if they bring
in KD, I still see them being exactly where they
were this year, which is getting knocked out in the
second round.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah see, I would say smilar similar type idea.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Because like what you're what you're proposing. It kind of
reminds me of the late nineties when Houston they decided
they're gonna get old ass Chemologa, well, old ass Charles
Berkley and old.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Ass hold on, these guys are still going at a
high level, man, so you get.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
You just say, like, well, Houston, you need to work.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
At that point, bro, like they didn't even they didn't
even make those players stay in shape at that in
that era. Like KD is still putting up like for
most teams, he's still be their top scorer. Yeah, so
I would just look at it like, I don't think
it's a successful remedy. So I'm agreeing with you. But
(09:36):
if there was a team that was thinking that it's
possible you have to be then like I don't know
who else, it would be real quickly though.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I don't even know how Phoenix's GM has been able
to keep his job because this is a team that
three or four years ago, was in the NBA Finals
and they decided to blow up that whole entire team.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
To get KD. I need to get Brevy Beale, and
it's brought up in the face. They haven't even close
to getting better with Furna.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, I agree, another sleeper team, I would say, and
this is this is dependent, very very very dependent on health. Right,
if Tatum has a setback and he looks like it
could be a longer recovery than they thought, and maybe
(10:25):
it might even take longer to get healthy, maybe more
like a two year timeline, I could see Boston giving
it a shot, needing another scorer in there to replace him.
If if like I said, but if Tatum comes back
and he's full go, or they have an idea he's
gonna be good, you know, way before the playoffs come,
(10:47):
I wouldn't even see that logical. But if he does
have a setback, I guess I could see that them
doing that to kind of replace a star, but it'd
be it'd be a go. I think KD might be
in all honesty, I think he's stuck where he's at.
I think this is the one time he's not going
to be able to get out of where he's at.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah, it says here that the KD really wants to
go to the Spurs, but Phoenix, so that to make
the trade happen, the Spurs have.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
To be willing to give up the number two pick.
I don't know if they want to give that up.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
They ain't giving that up. That's not happening. But he
would he's a good fit over there. I could see
why he would want to go there. But well, we'll
move along. Good luck to KDI, good luck getting out
of there. We'll see how it goes. A few things
I want to touch on in baseball. This pissed a
(11:48):
lot of people in Boston off Red Sox traded devis
the same friend. Let's pull up. I know you sent
it to me. Let's see what they got in return.
So the contract was crazy though, three hundred and thirteen
point five million, but what they got back in exchange.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
And the Giants are gonna eat up two hundred and
fifty million to day.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Yeah, I mean, I'm sure that's a big part with
you know, we'll get into possible reasons why he was traded,
I guess. But let's see they got pittures. Carl Harrison,
Jordan Hicks, and Jordan Hicks. They got outfilled that James
Tibbs the third, and they got minor league pitcher Jose Bellow.
(12:42):
I mean for any I, like I said, we'll get
into what possibly happened, but for one of your best players,
I could kind of see why a lot of fans
is I'm pretty upset about that. What do you think
about the compass? Obviously it was this really a money move.
It looks like to me they freed up most of
the money they owed to him. What do you think
(13:03):
about what they got in compensation?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I mean, the conversation is they get some they get
some pictures. I don't really follow the Red Sox too much,
so I don't know what their picture situation is, but
they get some pictures. They get some young minor league
guys who may or may not be something. Because in baseball,
it's not so much about giving up the draft picks.
It's about you know, your your farm system, giving up,
(13:28):
you know, trading for players in the minor leagues. Yeah,
so I think for Boston it sounds like they're trying
to rebuild, They're trying to get younger. They're saying that
Raphael Devers is the last player on the team from
that twenty eighteen World Series championship team, which surprised me
because he's only like twenty six, so he was like
(13:51):
nineteen when they won the World Series. But uh yeah,
and I think for the Giants is a great move too,
because they're they're fighting for a playoff spot right now.
So that could you know that this trade could possibly
take him over the top and overtake the Dodgers in
the West.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
We'll see, mm hmm, correct, correct, Well, moving on to
l A, what did.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
You want to talk about why he was possibly trading?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
My bad on that zoning out. You know, I'm a
Dodgers fan even though I'm out here, so I was
trying to skim past this Red Sox ship. But go
ahead to why why he was potentially traded?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Well, yeah, so there was a situation between Devers and
the Boston Police. You know, there was a there was
like a phone call or something like that, and the
rumors are that was part of the decision to it.
Says that he was online doxing, so he got he's
(14:55):
the cops for investigating him.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
For doxing online.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Yeah, I have no idea let me look at up
real quick, and according to reports, that is the part
of the reason why the rest Sous traded on It
says it's a it's a a process of searching for
or publishing private or identifying information about a particular individual
(15:24):
on the internet with malicious attent.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
He's so basically, he sounded he was wilding out.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, San Francisco Manuit traded for someone that's gonna have
charges coming on in the next few days. We'll see it.
We'll see how this goes.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
But I think for.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Them to eat up two hundred and fifty million of
this contract, I don't think they give a fuck.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah, clearly, kind of like the Browns with Watson. We'll
see how We'll see how it goes. But moving to
la Otani. Otani made his return. We're recording this on
the eighth teenth, so actually yesterday he made his return. Yeah, pitching, Yeah,
clarified correct, return to pitching after a long you know,
(16:09):
long away to return after surgery. But let's see his
fastball first game back. He also went two for four
with the double O walk and two ibis as a hitter,
but his fastball went over one hundred. Just actually hit
one hundred even. Fourteen of his twenty eight pitches were
above ninety eight miles an hour. Sounds like he had
(16:30):
a pretty good day. Did What did you think about
his return?
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I was excited because that there was rumors coming into
the season where where the Dodgers gonna let him pitch
because he played so he had an MVP season last
year playing solely as a hitter coming off that Tommy
Jones surgery. Yeah, but I like the way the Dodgers
played it, that they didn't let him pitch at all
last year and even this year they slowed him back
(16:57):
in and wait until the midway one of the seasons
before they actra gont pitch.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
But it looks like he still got to it. Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Me personally, I like the fact that he does both.
And then you mentioned his numbers as a hitter. But
also I think him being a pitcher also as a
depth to that. Uh that pitching lineup is for whatever reason,
every year the Dodgers pitchers they always get hurt right
before the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Yeah, let's let's let's just hope it doesn't it doesn't
go that way.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
I'll say if it does go that way, at least
you got an arm, another arm and short head.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
That can that can pitch for you.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Fair to say, well happy if you need him to go.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
If you need to go, need him to go for
a game in the playoffs, I think he could do it.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I agree, but it definitely after a long, long away
to return. It was good to see him back and
they picked up. Dodgers picked up the win in his
return to so that eight eighty six, eight to six,
had the checks. I got much stuff pulled up on
my phone, but good once again, good to see him back.
(18:05):
Hopefully he stays back on the mound, specifically along with
behind the plate. Now moving on to let's see what
we're gonna get into now, I guess we could touch
on because it's another big topic. The Stanley Cup Finals
just ended. The Florida Panthers secure the win. Let's see
(18:29):
one thing.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
It was over that export back to back, back to
back champions. They beat the Edmonton Oilers for the second
year in the.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Second straight year. Yeah they played the finals last year.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah that doesn't that doesn't happen much. The finals score
today was five to one. Panthers actually won this series
for the two I didn't see too much of the series,
There's been a million things I've been have to keep
up on, but I did catch clips and I did
catch some of the game the last game. It was
a pretty good series. Did you have any thoughts on
(19:04):
the Stanley Cup finals or just playoffs in general?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Now, I think it was a great great finals. Like
you said, last year went seven. This year Florida beat
them in six. Shout out to the Florida Panthers winning
back to back championships. I still think it's weird that
a team from Miami is a one won of the
hockey championship, but you know, shout out to them. Congratulations.
(19:32):
And the drought, the Canadian drought continues though. It's been
thirty two years since the Canadian team won the Stanley
Cup and they're gonna have to wait.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
The country cannon's got to win another year, so they
can't even win in their own sport.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I hear you on that. But yeah, it is funny,
hot weather team winning hockey is Yeah, it's something new.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
That I remember when the La Kings won to it
was about ten ten years ago. It was just like
we were like an LA team just dominating.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Yeah, it's it's funny. It's it's definitely happened a few
times over the years. I guess we'll touch a little
bit on the w n B A before we get
out of here. But the first thing I ask is
what are you thinking about all the dramas surrounding specifically
Angel Reese versus Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Well, okay, well there's a drama today because there's a
huge fight between the Indiana.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Fever before not before that, we just focus just them
too for now. We're gonna get to that right after it.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
No, I mean, I think it's good for the league, honestly,
Like these these two women have been going at it
not since college, and it's now you know, bled into
the w NBA also, and then also too, you look
at the two teams, you know, Taylor Clark at Indiana,
Angel Rees and Chicago, those two cities and now that
far apart from each other. So I think it's a
(21:02):
great rivalry and I think, you know, the Chicago Sky
need to get their ship together so it can they
can actually like play each other in the playoff because.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Of both in the Eastern Conference as well.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Right now, I think Indiana's kind of dominated that matchup.
And then obviously because no one is white, the other
woman's black. Everybody wants to make it a racial thing,
but I just think it's great for the league and
it's and it's made the WNB a more relevant than
they've ever been in their history.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I agree agree on that part of it. I think
that this rivalry has always been a great part of
all sports, and you need that for leagues to grow
because without the stars, people don't want to really watch
the league. You know. I think that injury sometimes with
specifically clock does take it a bit too far. I
(21:52):
think it will touch more than when we get into
today's discuss what happened today, But I think sometime how
she just needs to focus more a little bit more
on basketball than everything outside of basketball, because you even
though it's like in car when when lost record, I
(22:14):
know matters, and that's a big reason where Reese has
the upper hand on her and especially before the w NBA,
not in the w NBA specifically before, but since she's
got there, it's not been much of a rivalry. You know,
it's been physical and like you know, we know y'all
(22:35):
don't like each other, but numbers wise, if you know,
if Jordan and Bird was these type of numbers, it
never would have been a rivalry or Magic versus Bird, Like,
you got to have the numbers to back certain things up.
And that's the part where I think sometimes, especially when
(22:56):
she plays clock at this point, she's getting so frustrated
that your game isn't there like everything else, but your
game is in that game.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Well in general too this year, like her numbers haven't
really muched.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
The hype it's been.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
She struggled.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Well, I don't want to say this whole year. I
think the season just started like a month ago. She
hasn't played well so far this season.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Yeah, and then she got I believe, the Athlete of
the Year, and a lot of people didn't like that,
and I mean, technically, I guess they're not basing it
off this year, but she has to show that she
and she could she got the talent to do it.
But she needs to show that that she deserves that
award because right now, like it just seems like you're
(23:41):
doing too much.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Right And I don't even know what BT was thinking,
because like, you can't tell me that Angel Reese is
the old black female athlete.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
They could have given that award to.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Yeah, I mean Coco Golf, just one of the French
opening tennants, like they could have given it to her,
and I can't.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
I don't. I think a name Clarissa, the female boxer
that goes out with Papoos.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Yeah, I think this could have given to her.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Yeah, there's people you could have you could have gave
it to. But that I guess that leads into the
next next topic. Go on and let the people know
what happened today, all right?
Speaker 1 (24:19):
So I think, uh, I think Indiana's playing Connecticut, I believe,
And there was a scuffle where one of the Connecticut
players they kind of like shoulder they showed a block
and they fell to the ground. And I mean big
up to the Indiana fever because they protected their girl.
(24:40):
And then they got to a fight with the I
wouldn't even say it was a fight. It was just
like a lot of hair pulling and ship but they
got the women got into it was a little of
a scuffle.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
That's one of the biggest things since Kitler.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Car has been drafted is that a lot of these
women in w NBA, they feel like they're coming after her,
like they jose to her or something, and they just
have she has the bulls on the chest.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Mm hmmm, well it's it's I mean, some of it
is probably warranted, but I do agree. I think both
of them, the way they came in, the hype they
came in, I have had bose eyes on their chest.
But one of them is handled a little bit better
since she's got into the league, and one of them
(25:30):
I think is just a little bit too focused on
other stuff. I do like, I do want to say,
I do like the fact that Andel Rees flipped that
me bounds into you know, people trying to get wreck
on her. The trademarkting coons it and she's gonna probably
make millions of dollars off it. Smart woman, you know
what I'm saying, kudos to.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Her every time, every time you turned that ship on Twitter,
she makes money off of me.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yeah, So long story short, I just wish she would
leave some of that extra. She's gonna be a star
outside the w NBA. I'm pretty much sure if that.
Everybody should be able to see that, right, But while
you're here, let's elevate the WNBA. That's what you that's
what you was drafted for, and that's that's honestly what
(26:12):
I would like to see her do well.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Speaking of WNBA though, sorry to cut you off, but like,
what's your thoughts on like the veterans, like the women
that have been in this league for like you know, five, ten,
fifteen years, Like, how do you feel.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
About them hating on them?
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Because I feel like they should appreciate the fact that,
you know, the league is growing, it's more proper than
it's ever been. In the large part it is because
of Angel Rees, the Kitling Clark. But it seems like
the veterans of the WNBA, they seem to be hating
on these women.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I don't know. I guess it could be. Like I said,
I think that when they first first both came in,
that's how it was. But I think now a lot
of that, a lot of them veterans, look, they fell
back off of Clark, And I think it's just maybe
she handled handled her surroundings a little bit better and respected,
you know, a little bit more like what she was
(27:10):
getting into outside of her and reach you know, that's
kind of just always was there, right. But I think,
and this is also demeaning and personality and this isn't
a bad thing because I would be doing the same thing,
Like I think Angel's more more mentally more mentally probably like, actually,
(27:32):
how could I say this right because it's probably not
mentally more louder with her toughness, I should say. So,
she wasn't gonna, you know, bow down to nothing or
be quiet. She's loud, She's vocal, and I think that's
why a lot of the negativity is more gravitated to
her right now, where Clark's more quiet kind of lets
(27:55):
her game do this speaking. And I think that that's
probably you know, the difference right now. I think just
the buzz around them. It was just jealousy in the beginning,
you know, but I think I think it progressed from
jealousy to now some of them might genuinely not like
(28:17):
Angel rees you know what I'm saying. So, I don't know.
I need to see the rest of this year to
see how it goes, because I don't think. I don't
think that Angel Reese is unlikable. That's that I don't.
I don't see that. I just think that she might
be a little too vocal for some of them ladies liking,
if that makes.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Sense, I could see her people the wrong way.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Yeah, that's that's kind of what it is like. You know.
And that's that's part of the reason why I was
saying leave some of the outside stuff alone, is because
I think some of that might come from that, you know,
I don't I don't think it's I think it's on
the court. I think it may be like all the
extra stuff, and I mean walking into the games and
(29:03):
taking forty pitches before you get into the game, and
you know, all that extra stuff where stay look at
we ahead of ball, you know. And don't get me wrong,
she's not the only one doing that, but she's doing
it at the highest level, which is really because.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
They said, out all WNBA players, she has the most
social media followers, and I think sometimes she pays too
much attention to dad then instead of like focusing on
her game.
Speaker 2 (29:28):

this one short. But ladies and gentlemen, that's gonna wrap
