We get all the credit,
but it's so many hardworking people behind the scenes.
Dougie, Dougie, appreciate you, appreciate you.
I don't know who you're at, but I appreciate you.
That deserve to get credit.
Let's get right into it, Ocho.
The Thunder go on the road, even the series up, take back home court.
A very hard-fought victory.
They went 100-96.
Shea Gilgamesh Alexander was, again, he was exemplary. 34 points,
8 rebounds, 5 assists,
2 steals, 2 blocks,
52% from the floor. Chet Holbrook,
18 points, 9 rebounds, 4 blocks,
6 of 9. Had the most playoff box, 23 by
rookies since Serge Ibaka. Luka
tonight had 7 turnovers and 6 buckets.
Missed game time free throws.
He and Kyrie have not been playing well with the exception of that one game
in which Luka played really well on the road in game two.
In game one, he and Kyrie have yet to put a game together.
P.J. Brown has been playing unbelievable, but he wasn't enough tonight.
And being down by as many as 14 points late in the third quarter
and down by as many as eight points, nine points in the fourth quarter.
The OKC Thunder come back, snatch back home court,
and now they go back home for game five and see if they can go up 3-2.
Watching the game, Ocho, what did you like and what you saw from the Thunder?
I mean, obviously what I saw from the Thunder, SGA.
I'm going to just say SGA because I always pronounce his first name wrong.
Shea.
Shea is doing what he's doing.
Obviously, his supporting cast has been phenomenal on his part.
And everyone helping as well.
Lou Dort had a good game.
Finished with 17 points.
Obviously, Shet Holmgren as well.
So, there, I'm not going to say
they're top three because that wouldn't be their
top three players, right? Jalen Williams.
Shade, Jalen Williams, and Shet.
Okay, would be. But if
you don't have any output from
Luka, Kyrie not
playing well, who only had nine points, if I'm not
mistaken. Correct. But P.J. Washington
again, for the second time in the series, being
the leading scorer and doing his part
for the two superstars, the two-headed monster
that should be playing for
Narno or Tupar is
one of the reasons why the series is now tied.
Right. And they should be
they probably should be up considering
you're getting that kind of production from
your third guy and you're not
getting your superstar. You're not getting the production
from the guy that you're counting on,
that you're depending on.
I don't know what's going wrong, Kyrie.
I mean, this Kyrie, this is not the Kyrie that I'm used to seeing.
I don't recall him playing as bad as what he's playing,
as being as inefficient.
He's not taking a whole lot of shots.
He's not scoring a whole lot in the first half.
You kind of overlook it because he's kind of gotten it going
in a couple of games in the second half.
But for whatever reason, he could not get on track
tonight. Luka has been very
inefficient with the exception of maybe one game
and the turnovers. Luka's beat
up, but he's going to have to find a way. You can't
get every call. You've got to stop
flopping because you're laying on the floor.
They're getting back up the court and they're
getting shots off and your man's scoring.
They got up a couple of threes. They got some layup
because you're back there arguing with a call, expecting to get a call and they're not giving you the call. They got up a couple of threes. They got some layup because you're back there arguing
with a call, expecting to get a call,
and they're not giving you the call. They kind of let them
play tonight. And so,
give OKC. They knew they had to
have this game. You don't normally team
that go up 3-1, for the most part,
win about 90% of the times.
And because you're going back home
3, you go up 3-1, and you're probably going to
end up going back home for game 5. So, you're going to be in front of your up 3-1, and you're probably going to end up going back home for game five,
so you're going to be in front of your home crowd.
But give the OKC Thunder credit.
They're the number one seed for a reason.
I didn't, and my research before this,
they had the most 10-point comfort behind wins.
So that shows you that even though they're a young group,
they're resilient.
Right.
And they feel that they're in any game
because they have that guy
who finished second in the MVP.
Some of the shots that he made, even when they
were down 8-10 points, that
kept them attached, that didn't let
the Mavs get up by 12, get up by 14
again in that fourth quarter, he made
a shot, I think, that tied the game up
from the side,
shot it over the corner of the backboard, and he hit nothing
but net. So, go ahead.
So this is a good question for me.
On the outside looking in, obviously, if you're a betting man,
if you're a gambling man, you say, well, you look at the series,
OKC being a very young team, but like you said, they are resilient.
But you think the Cavs are going to run away?
The Cavs.
You think the Mavs are going to run away with this series?
But obviously, that's not it.
So, Chad, I'm asking you too as well.
Do you think the Mavs still have a shot winning the series,
or will the young Oklahoma team shock the world?
Not if Luke and Kyrie don't play better than what they played the first four games.
I'm surprised that it's 2-2 considering how poorly Luke and Kyrie played overall.
Now, Kyrie put together a couple of second halves,
but overall, now he's playing some pretty good defense.
Give him credit for that.
But Luke has been wildly inefficient.
But yes, they can win this series,
but they're going to have to play better.
And without them playing better, I don't see them.
And plus, you got to make your free throws.
They shot just as many free throws as the OKC.
The difference was OKC missed two out of 22.
The other team missed 12 out of 21.
So when you miss that, when you miss that many free throws,
especially the games are so close because these are two, I believe,
evenly matched ball clubs.
But you got to find ways.
You got to find ways. Your two you got to find ways. You got to find ways.
Your two guns got to find ways to play well.
But give OKC credit.
Because like I said, they could have easily run and hide.
They didn't.
They fought.
They scrapped.
And when they got the lead, you see what happened.
The Mavs started turning the ball over.
Luka's trying to get into a rhythm.
He's taking unnecessary shots. He's turning the ball over. Luka's trying to get into a rhythm. He's taking unnecessary shots.
He's turning the ball over, and they're getting runouts.
OKC, they found a way to stay close to the ballgame.
And then the last clutch time, Shea took the game over,
but they had a big shot.
Louie Doerr hit a big three.
Chet Holmgren hit a big three.
But Louie Doerr, excuse me, Shea Gill just took the ballgame over,
and that's why they're going back to OKC tied 2-2.
The Celtics beat the Cavs minus Donovan Mitchell 109-102.
Jalen Brown had 27 points, 8 rebounds.
He was 2-3 from the 3.
Jason Tatum had 33 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists.
Put the Cavs on the brink of elimination,
and the Celtics are very close, one game away,
from advancing back to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Jason Taylor played well.
They got the contribution from Jalen Brown.
Drew Holliday played extremely well,
and they were able to beat the Cavs, minus Donovan Mitchell.
And you see Darius Garland played much better.
I think he defers too much when Donovan
Mitchell is in the game, because he had his best
game of the series, all for not.
It was a losing effort. But
the Celtics go on the road.
Now they go back home with a chance to
clinch and get some much-needed rest
and say, okay, Knicks and
Pacers, you guys fight it out. We're
at home. Get picked up, ready
for whoever wins.
Pacers, you guys fight it out.
We're at home.
He'd be kicked up, ready for whoever wins.
It's unfortunate for the Cavs.
Obviously, Donovan Mitchell didn't play.
Darius Garland played much better.
And now there's no pressure on you.
You have to take the shots.
You have to take the shots that you would be reluctant to take,
allowing Donovan Mitchell to somewhat take over games and take some of those opportunities from you now with it's funny that Donovan Mitchell didn't play but the scoreline was closer in this
game as opposed to when both of them played the previous game and it's weird how that the game
of basketball works obviously I understand it's a game of runs there's a game of of rhythm and
consistency consistency from certain players but it's funny how your superstar doesn't play,
but the ending of the game is much closer
when everybody somewhat played for the Cavs on their end.
Listen, with Jalen Brown and Donovan Mitchell,
I mean, Donovan Mitchell,
with Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum
playing the way they're playing,
ain't nobody beating them right now,
especially when they're playing efficient.
And when Derek White, when he finally
gets it rolling again, like I saw him
play against the Heat and be very efficient from the
field, which he hasn't been since
that Heat series,
they might be the
one to be holding that trophy
at the end of the season, coming out to East.
Well, you know Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown,
they're going to have to give you, and they probably average about 53 points between the two of them, coming at the East? Well, you know Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown. They're going to have to give you.
And they probably averaged about 53 points between the two of them,
if I'm not mistaken.
They gave you 60 to 19 rebounds.
And that's what you have to have from those guys.
But you're absolutely right.
You're going to need Holiday.
You're going to need Derek White.
You're going to need that third option.
And as long as they get the third option contributing,
they're going to be just fine.
Now, I might remind you that Christoph Brzingas hasn't played in this series.
He's recovering from that strained calf.
And so, you know, you got 33, 11 of 25.
Jason Taylor played 45 minutes.
Holliday played 43 minutes, gave you 16, 7, and 5.
Derek White didn't play particularly well.
He was 106, 104.
He had five points.
Jason Taylor, excuse me, Jalen Brown played 34 minutes, 9 of 15, 2 of 3.
He's been very efficient in the series.
27 points.
Peyton Pritchard, another guy that comes off the bench,
reminds you a lot of T.J. McConnell, going to give you great hustle plays,
going to knock down shots.
He's going to be a pest up and down the court.
He was 3 of 5, 3 of 4 from 3.
He had 11 points.
Luke Cornett had 9 points. And Howitzer came off the bench. He was three or five, three or four from three. He had 11 points. Luke Cornett had nine points.
And Howitzer came off the bench.
He only had two points.
But they got production from where they needed it.
Although Derek White and Al Horford didn't give him a whole lot of points.
The big guns played well.
And then you get Holiday chipping in with 16.
And Braden Pritchett chipping in with 11.
The Celtics.
The question is, what Celtic team is going to show up?
You never know from game to game what's
going to happen. They were 12 or 32
from the three-point line, 37%.
You can live with that.
The head coach, Joe Mazzulla, probably wants them to
get up somewhere around 40 to 45 threes.
Want to try to make somewhere between 15
and 23.
You look at the
Cavaliers, they got 30 points from Darius
Garland, 12-27, 4-13.
Evan Mobley gave you 19.
Karris LeBert, who's in the starting
lineup because Donovan Mitchell was out,
he gave you 19. Mike Spruce gave you
15. I mean, they played
really well. I mean, to think
the game would be this close, minus
Donovan Mitchell, I probably didn't see that
coming. And probably the Celtics
probably let down
just a little bit
because they know
one of the high-powered guys
from this Golden team
was out.
Not yet.
Well, you know,
the funny thing about it,
if Donovan Mitchell is out
with a calf strain,
there's no way
he's going to be able to
play the following week.
Right.
Or the following game.
So,
it's safe to say,
obviously,
I'm assuming
the Celtics
are going to move on.
And whoever the winner
out of
the Pacers
and the Knicks series,
what are the chances
if the Pacers win
the series,
what are the chances
if the Knicks win the series,
what chances do they have
against the Celtics?
I think
Pacers
for me
because
offensively, they can
get up and down in the bench.
The problem with the Knicks is
that they have no depth.
They're already without Julius
Randle. They're already without Robinson.
I was reading today he had ankle surgery.
You don't know how long. Maybe Bogdanovich is he had ankle surgery. You don't know how long, maybe
Bogdanovich is going to come back. I don't know
about that. And you're dealing
with OG Anubis hamstring.
So you're down four starters and you only
played, I think they only played seven guys.
They played a lot of guys.
They emptied their bench because they were down by as many
as 43 points. But when you
start shortening your bench as much as the
Knicks will have to shorten their bench
and you ask the guys to
play as many minutes as you're asking them to
play, I just don't see how the Knicks
could really pose a problem.
Now, if Jalen Brown
goes crazy, which he's more than capable of doing,
Devin Chinzo,
Josh Hart, you know, they didn't have their
best games last game. But if they
play kind of like they played in game, what was that, game three, game two?
Yeah.
They got a chance.
They got a chance.
But I still would like the Pacers because I think they can get up and down.
They're going to run.
They can make shots.
The question is Tyrese Halliburton.
You see when he plays well, the Indiana offense looks really, really good.
And he needs to play well.
He can't be afraid to shoot the shot.
Siakam needs to play better.
I mean, he didn't need to do much yesterday.
I think he only attempted like five or six shots yesterday.
But I would like the Pacers.
I'm not saying either team could beat the Knicks.
I mean, beat the Celtics.
But I would like the Pacers in a series more so than I would like the Knicks.
Now it's time for our first segment of the day, and it is a newscast.
Drafting Bronny LeBron James Jr. doesn't guarantee you his dad, LeBron James.
Rich Paul has made an effort to lay down the idea that LeBron James
would be a package deal with his son
Bronny this offseason.
Ryan Windhorst said Rich Paul has in recent
months indicated behind the scenes
that selecting Bronny James
doesn't guarantee LeBron will
sign with that team.
Look.
Yeah, it does.
Yeah, maybe in In two three years
No absolutely not
LeBron doesn't want to play
Two three more years
Yes he does
LeBron is waiting
For this opportunity
For his son
To get drafted
Yes
And I think it's going to be
A package deal
Wherever Bronny goes
You want to bet
Yeah
I mean the writing
Is on the wall
No it ain't
The writing is on the wall
Whatever
They're writing in Mandarin Chinese And and I can't read that.
Listen, LeBron James has played this long and had an illustrious career to continue his reign at the top until his son reached.
Because his dream as a father, training his son, would be to always, at one point, play with his son on an NBA team.
Now, wherever that NBA team is that Bronny goes to,
I guarantee you LeBron goes as well.
Not this year.
Not next year.
Whoa.
I do believe that LeBron wants to play with his son.
Just the mere fact of having your son in the NBA
while you're still playing isn't a feat in and of itself.
Now, to have a King Griffey Jr. situation
where Sr. plays with Jr.
But see, that was a special
situation. If I'm not mistaken, I think
the Rangers granted him his
release so he could go
play with the Mariners, so he could play
with his son. I think the thing
and the difference is
Sr. was not playing as
well as LeBron senior playing in basketball.
Right.
So it was a lot easier.
Right.
Do I believe at some point in time before LeBron James will leave the NBA, he'll play with his son?
Yes, I do.
I just don't believe it's next year.
I don't think it'll take that long.
I don't think it'll take that long.
Obviously, LeBron is very strategic in all that he does.
Yeah.
Mav, the team, Rich Paul, they're all very strategic and methodical in everything that they do.
I think we think a different way on how things would happen.
Maybe LeBron doesn't want to play two or three more years just to be able to play with his son.
And I think he has the power and the cachet to make it happen.
How they're going to make it happen, we obviously don't know.
They know and they have a plan. The plan has been set
in place for many, many of years.
This is just not something that just happened
and I think the plan is going to play
out that he's going to play with LeBron
probably this year.
I don't want to say guarantee.
I think it's going to happen sooner
than we think. Here's the issue
also.
Is Bronny ready to play in the NBA?
Just because you get drafted,
you might have to go to the G League.
Okay, that's a good one.
That's a good one.
So this is what I'm thinking.
LeBron James, look,
he's going to be involved with the coach.
He's going to be involved
with the Lakers with Friggins.
I don't believe LeBron would be
in a situation where he's like, okay, I like this guy, I like this guy, I like said guy. And Friggins said, I want this guy with Frazier. I don't believe LeBron would be in a situation where he's like,
okay, I like this guy,
I like this guy, I like said guy.
And Frazier said,
I want this guy with this guy.
And then all of a sudden,
he goes sign and go play with the Sun.
I don't believe that's going to happen
this year.
Do I believe before LeBron James
leaves the NBA
that he plays with the Sun?
Absolutely.
Because the likelihood
of that happening again
isn't very good.
Unless somebody had a child while they were in high school. Because the likelihood of that happening again isn't very good. Now, unless somebody had a child while they were in high school, because the likelihood of somebody playing this long again,
because think about, yeah, there are a lot of guys that have kids. Right.
And they might have a kid that's five or six years old.
But what's the likelihood of them playing another 15 years, another 16 years till the kid is old enough to reach this level. It just so happened to be that LeBron was extremely blessed
that he was able to play.
And I think he had Bronny in 2004, 2005,
which allowed him.
Because I think Bronny is like 19.
Oh, four.
So you see?
So that allowed him.
Now LeBron came in the league
in 2003.
Right.
So he has a kid
one year into his career
and now here we are
two decades later.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
So the likelihood
of that happening
is not,
is probably
you won't see it again.
You don't see it very often.
That's why I don't think
it would take that long.
I mean, I understand what you're saying.
And I think if LeBron,
I think because of,
I'm not going to say favoritism
in general, but because
it's LeBron's son, I think certain
things will be put in place to where
it's accelerated
a little bit more as opposed to him having
to go to G League as far as development goes.
I think he'll be on the NBA team.
I think he'll be on the NBA squad.
You think he'll get drafted in the first round?
From my understanding,
based on what's coming out of college,
I believe so.
I believe so.
For the simple fact that I think
behind closed doors,
there might be rumblings that wherever Bronny goes, so. For the simple fact that I think behind closed doors,
there might be rumblings that wherever Bronny goes,
there's a chance LeBron comes
there as well. And then you know what happens
if you get even a 39-year-old LeBron
on your team? You know what it does for
not just your city, not just for your franchise,
but to me, it
damn near puts you in contention, even though
he's not the same LeBron of old.
Right.
I just don't see it happening.
You look at LeBron numbers,
he was 25, seven rebounds, eight assists,
playing at an extremely high level.
Right.
And I just don't see him leaving the Lakers.
Now, do I see him leaving the Lakers?
Now, the question is,
I believe he's going to opt out of that contract.
Does he sign a two plus one, two years for an option for a third?
Now that makes it a lot easier for him to determine because I can opt out of the contract
and I can go be a free agency and I don't mess up your cap situation signing me because
my son is on your roster.
So I believe that's more likely to happen.
Two years plus an option
because I think LeBron believes in
his heart of hearts that he
said it, I can play as long as I want to.
As long as my mind, as long
as my body is healthy. Knock on wood,
his body stays healthy. He seems
really engaged. He loves the game of
basketball. He loves everything about it.
He loves the prep work. He loves the meeting.
He loves to shoot around. He loved being around
the guys. And obviously, he loves
the game. And so that goes in
because you're always
going to love the game. But the question is,
can your body hold up and your mind?
The meetings drove me away.
I didn't want to meet anymore. I got tired.
I had heard out. I mean, for him
to still enjoy it like that,
being in media,
how many curvages,
how many times you can run the pin down or flare or one high
or all that other stuff,
he's heard it all.
Right.
He knows it.
And he still gets excited to get up
and to do it over and over and over and over again.
That's what makes you great.
Yep.
Bronny looked good today.
He played really, I mean,
I saw him, I think he went like a whole minute.
I think they said he was 19 or 25
from the three.
From three, yeah.
I saw the Twitter.
He had a 40 and a half inch vertical.
It was pretty impressive.
It was pretty impressive.
Wait, 40,
what was the vertical again?
40 and a half.
But they do running jump.
They don't do it like the NFL.
Oh, just standing?
Yeah, NFL standing jump.
Yeah.
The NBA, they allow you to get
running jump. So what was
your vertical, you think?
The highest I've ever done was like 38
and a half. Okay, okay. I think
I'm not mistaken.
If I remember correctly, because
my vertical jump has been one of my best
assets that I had due to
my DNA, I think it might have been
a 46,
46, 45, something like that.
You did that in the combine?
You did it in the combine? No, I did that
at USC, at USC Pro Day.
Yeah, I did. Yeah, I think it might have
been a 46. I think Gerald Sensabaugh has the highest
in combine history.
He had a 46. Gerald Sensabaugh. Yeah.
That's what they compared me to, too.
Gerald, I ain't know who he was.
I'm comparing you to Pinocchio.
But I thank Gerald Sensabaugh.
I thank Boss Bayman.
I thank Boss Bayman had 45.
Oh, Georgia.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I remember Boss Bayman.
Those are the highs that I can remember being recorded.
But like I said, the NFL, two feet planted, jump up.
NBA, a lot of your running starting to jump.
Because you're going to be doing a lot of that in the NBA.
You're going to be a lot of doing running, jumping.
So, okay, to each his own.

LeBron was seen courtside with his lovely wife Savannah at the Celtics-Cavs game where he was given a standing ovation by the hometown crowd
do you think LeBron would go back to Cleveland?
if you wanted to write a story
if you wanted to write a story
and finish it the right way,
you wanted to write a story
and finish it the right way,
as LeBron James,
you get drafted,
you're from Ohio,
you get drafted to Cleveland,
you leave Cleveland,
you go to Miami,
you go back to Cleveland,
you go from Cleveland to LA,
and you want to finish your story
the right way.
The right way. And close that book and just be complete. Well, and you want to finish your story the right way, the right way,
and close that book and just
be complete. Well, the one way
to ensure that is to draft Ronnie.
Bingo.
There you go. And there goes your
happy ending.
And I think it would be dope.
Who's to say Ronnie doesn't go to L.A.?
Well, I don't think they'll
take a first round pick. I don't
know if they take him in the first round. Most
reports are saying second round pick.
But like you said,
there's not a whole lot of
not a whole lot of beat at the top of the ground.
So it's not like, oh man, I
gotta have this guy. Oh, I gotta have that guy.
So no consensus at all in this draft?
No.
That's why I said the chances of him maybe going to L.A.,
maybe going to Cleveland, but for some reason,
I know Rich Paul, I know LeBron.
Everything is already set in stone.
It's set in stone, and there's a chance.
If he doesn't go to L.A., wherever Bronny goes,
I'm telling you, LeBron might be that issue.
I was very happy to see the ovation that he got I'm glad they let
bygones be bygones LeBron
LeBron came back
he brought him a championship
went to the NBA finals
all four years he was back there
I think the thing is and for me he fulfilled
his obligation he never asked to be traded
he stayed
there for seven years he went to
he went to Miami for four years,
came back for four years, and now he's been
in LA. And so I don't
think anybody can be upset
with LeBron. I don't think Miami can be upset
with it because he did bring two titles
in four years. I don't think LA can
be upset with it because what's
the likelihood? Because think about, they
hadn't won a title. They hadn't even been to the
Western Conference Finals since
Kobe last won the title in what?
2010, 2011.
So, 2010,
2010. Because 2011, they got swept
in the first round by Dallas.
People don't realize that. They swept
Lakers, who were the defending champs in the first round.
Yep, with Dirk, Jason
Kidd, all those guys, Tyson Chandler.
I think Sean Merrill was on that
squad so the
likelihood and everybody's like oh LeBron
this LeBron that but you got to think about
where you were before LeBron got there
you weren't making the playoffs
you weren't even close to making the playoffs
there's a reason why you kept getting D'Angelo
Russell with the second pick of the draft
there's a reason why you got Lonzo Ball with the second pick of the draft
there's a reason why you got Julius Randle with a second pick of the draft. There's a reason why you got Julius Randle
with a top 10 pick.
Y'all need to realize, Laker Nation,
what you were before LeBron.
You didn't have this kind of hope.
I understand that you used the championship,
but at the end of the day,
there was no sun on the horizon
before LeBron came here.
Do they give LeBron came here. Do they
give LeBron
credit? No.
For the chip that he did bring?
It didn't count?
LeBron is never going to, look,
LeBron
brought two chips, but he's
never been loved in Miami like D. Wade.
It's different.
It's different. It's different.
Kevin Durant goes to Golden State.
He wins them two titles.
He helped win them two titles.
He's a two-time finals MVP.
But they didn't draft him.
Miami drafted D-Wade.
The Golden State Warriors drafted Steph.
They drafted Klay.
They drafted Draymond.
So there's an affinity for guys that we drafted.
Right.
That we watched them.
You see, Colby, see, Magic came there.
Right.
Magic came right out of college as a 20-year-old,
won him a title in rookie season.
Colby came to L.A. as a 17-year-old kid.
That's correct.
They watch him get married.
They watch him have kids. They watch him have kids.
They watch him turn into a man.
They watch him turn into
one of the top players
in NBA history.
They feel a certain kind of love
and an affinity for Kobe
because he's ours.
Right.
That's why guys that come,
Magic, people,
if you go ask them,
people will always say Magic and Kobe are the two best Lakers
because those are the guys, not even Jerry West, LJ Baylor,
but I'm saying Kobe and Magic, one, two, is Lakers
because Shaq came from Orlando, Kareem came from Milwaukee.
Ah, so they don't consider him as one of their own.
They do because Kareem, people don't realize Kareem played in L.A.
longer than he played.
I think he played seven years in Milwaukee.
I think 76, if I'm not mistaken, was his first year in L.A.
If I'm not mistaken, I think it was 76.
Might have been 75.
He won like two MVPs as soon as he got there
and then won a third one in the 79-80 season.
But that's just the way it is.
Sometimes it's like that in basketball.
Yeah, we appreciate what you've done, but...
It ain't the same.
Kobe, man, and Magic, and James Worthy,
those are the guys that were like,
ugh, they're ours.
We watched them come and go.
Right.
John Fury, Tyson Fury's dad, if I'm not mistaken,
headbutted a member of the opponent,
Alexander U16,
busting himself open in the process a member of the opponent, Alexander Yusik's team,
busted himself open in the process ahead of his son Tyson's
undisputed championship fight
with Yusik this coming Saturday.
John is generally good
to get some spotlight on himself
ahead of his son's fight.
With arguably Tyson's greatest,
biggest fight ever,
John went above and beyond.
What you think? Man, buddy, he tripping. with arguably Tyson's great biggest fight ever. John went above and beyond.
What you think?
Man, buddy, he tripping.
Well, you know, man.
No, he got a terrible hitting.
Yeah, and he taking the focus.
He taking the focus off of what's important.
Who's going to be in the ring.
Right.
And now you're adding
even more pressure on Fury.
Mm-hmm.
Like, he ain't going against
no, no, no,
just no anybody.
Oh, no, no.
You took your bike.
Especially the way
he looked against Ngannou.
Did I say it the right way?
Who that?
Yeah, but see,
he took that fight.
He didn't take that fight serious.
Oh, no.
What was that?
Oh.
He took it serious.
What you mean he didn't
take it serious?
Man, please. You think he took that fight serious? Yeah, he took it. See what you mean? He didn't take it serious. Man, please.
You think he took that fight serious?
Yeah, he took it serious.
No, Anthony Joshua took it serious.
No.
Fury took that fight serious.
And I think he was just surprised
that Francis had gotten that good
and that polished in such a short amount of time
and being able to transition from MMA to boxing.
And when he got in the ring,
I'm looking like,
what the hell?
Who the hell he been training with?
Did you see Ngannou against Joshua
when someone took it serious?
Yeah.
Two different styles.
There's levels to fighting.
Right.
You see the feint.
And you see every time,
because every time he feint,
what did Ngannou do?
He would drop.
Yeah.
He'd do this.
And so he kept putting it out there. He kept putting it out there. Oh, that's what you he going to do? He would drop. He'd do this. He kept putting it out there.
Oh, that's what you're going to do?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's going to be a great
fight because both of these guys
are boxers.
There's a difference between a boxer and a fighter.
And a slugger too.
Yeah.
We know the brown bomber, Deontay Wilder. a fighter. And a slugger, too. Yeah, yeah. Completely different.
We know the brown bomber, Deontay Wilder.
He got one punch.
Slugger.
All he's looking at, he's looking at, like, this is a rant.
I mean, he ain't jabbing to, like, do anything.
He's, like, ranting to try to, you know.
He's not like Lenny Lewis.
Lenny Lewis used his jab to do damage.
Damage, yeah.
Ernie Shavers.
Larry Holmes,
Vladimir Klitschko,
they used their jab to do damage.
It wasn't just a range
and it was to do damage.
And boom!
Brown Bomber, he just tried to unload.
So Tyson Fury said,
okay, I'm just going to time it up.
Lean on you, get your time,
take your legs. And that's it. But I think this is going to time it up. Lean on you, get your time, take your legs.
And that's it. But I think this is going to be
a really good fight here. Tyson Fury
and Alexander Yusik, because
both guys can box. It's going to be
interesting to see.
This is the first time
that Fury's going to
bend there with somebody. Now, he's going to be a
massive of a man, but somebody that
has a very similar skill set. Good footwork, very good ring IQ. He can box in the pocket. He
can fight at distance. He can fight mid-range. So it's going to be very interesting on how
they're able to read each other out, gather information, process it round by round,
try to figure each other out. And I think it's going to get really interesting once it gets about round six or seven.
Yeah.
And you're a little bit tired.
You can't be on your bicycle.
You can't have as much movement.
You have to actually sit there and fight.
I think that's where it's going to become interesting.
That's one thing I like about the heavyweights.
They ain't really getting on no bicycle.
No.
Hey, they got to save that energy.
Oh, yeah.
Those are huge. Man, you're talking. Oh, yeah.
Those are huge.
Man, you're talking about 50, 260.
Right.
These are what we call super heavyweights.
Man, you ain't getting on no box.
Yeah, not really.
But it's funny.
Yeah, but the funny thing when you think about it is you think about their boxing prowess
and their footwork is like that of a lightweight almost.
Yeah.
They move the footwork, the movement,
the being able to get in and get out.
Right.
Defense.
Yeah.
Very good defense.
They know how to move, Ocho.
They know how to move.
Minimal movement.
Minimal movement, but conserve energy while moving.
Yes, sir.
You and I, we all know how to play.
They're going to know how to lean.
They know how to do all that.
But the thing is, what the really good boxers, they know they can have a sense of life. They're going to know how to lean. They know how to do all that. But the thing is, the really good boxers, they
know they can have a sense
of like, they can look over there, oh, he's tired.
Look how he's breathing.
That's why you got to
have that poker face the whole time.
Your mannerisms, you got to be relaxed the whole
time. You have to have that poker face and show
nothing, even if you get hit clean.
I've learned this from a few times.
I've been in there. He was telling me, man, if somebody can hit you with a good shot, you could hit clean. And I've learned this from a few times. I've been in there. I think he was telling me, man, somebody can hit you with a good shot.
You could be hurt.
Right.
You cannot show any sign of weakness at any point because it's like sharks seeing blood in the water.
Yeah.
Hit me.
Ow.
Hey, man, I used to get tired.
Hey, son, don't bend over.
Hey, ain't no oxygen out here.
I see rabbits.
I see cats.
I see snakes.
Ain't no oxygen out here.
Who told you that lie?
Ain't no oxygen out there.
Ain't no oxygen out there.
You know what?
Guess what?
It's even lower because I've been laid out.
Ocho, there's a report that Justin Fields had a toxic
relationship with Nick Foles in the Chicago
locker room. According to reports,
the relationship between Foles and Fields
basically reached rock bottom at the
situation where Foles was trying to teach
something to Fields, only to turn
around and realize that Fields wasn't paying attention
to anything Foles were
saying. According to reports,
Foles and Fields could not stand each other.
There ain't nothing wrong with that.
Listen, you, in the chat, in the NFL,
listen, as much as you want to get along with everybody,
think about where you work.
If you work in the corporate world
or wherever you work,
you don't get along with every person that's there.
That man isn't there to take your job.
They are there to compete. Yeah, your job. They are there to compete.
Yeah, they are.
You are there to compete.
Everybody's not going to get along on the same team.
That's just the nature of the business at times.
I'm better than you.
Why are you sitting here trying to teach me?
Younger player, listen to an older veteran
who's been somewhat, not somewhat,
not really, I don't want to call him a journeyman,
but he played on a few different teams.
He has a Super Bowl win.
So I think that's someone you would want to listen to and confide in.
Yeah, especially when it comes to playing a position quarterback because he knows what it takes to win because he has won before.
After taking over for Carson Wentz when he got hurt.
But listen, at times you're just not going to like people.
It's just the way it is.
I think it's unfortunate that it came down to this.
I think it's unfortunate that it got out now that Justin Fields is gone and he's
in Pittsburgh, so why now?
Why now? It wasn't issued in.
Why make it an issue now?
It wasn't an issue,
but I'm disappointed that it got out
because it makes Justin feel
like he's uncoachable, like he's
unwilling to listen to someone that's trying
to help. And you know, look,
when I was in there, and somebody could give me some valuable
information, the mistake that I made
is that I listened to the wrong person and he
gave me the wrong route. And I went there ready
at full speed. And Coach looked at me like
I was a damn fool, but that's my fault.
That's my fault. I think the thing is, Ocho,
for me, is that I've always
said that if I ever got in a situation,
I say, when I make the team next year,
someone ask me something, I'm going to be able
to give them the real information because I'm just
how I look at it, Ocho. You can't
beat me. I'm going to teach you everything you know,
not everything I know. So you're
never going to be able to beat this job. And I
understand when Ozzie made the move to move on to Todd Heath, he had to get me up out of there. Todd Heath're never going to be able to beat this job. And I understand like when Ozzy made the move
to move on to Todd Heath,
he had to get me up out of there.
Todd Heath was never going to be able
to beat me up on that job.
Right, right.
Because I knew too much.
I knew all the tricks of the trade.
I knew how to get open
no matter what the situation was.
But my job was to make sure
and to Rook's credit,
he hung on everything that I said.
So I tried to make sure
that the locker, the
tight end room was better when I
left than when I found it. Same way with
Denver. I take it as
an elder statesman, Ocho.
That's my job. To pass
that information down because I had some guys
that really helped me. In the
receiver room, Mark
Jackson, I backed him up.
He helped me immensely. Vance Johnson, those guys, I backed him up. He helped me immensely.
Vance Johnson, those guys
really, really helped me
when I was there.
I really appreciated
the older guys really helping me
to try to get me up to speed because they
knew if something happened to them,
I'm going to have to go in and play. What good is that?
You don't help me out and I got to go in and play
and I don't know what the hell I'm doing.
That's a negative reflection on you.
But I agree with you, Ocho.
I don't like that this got out because at the end of the day,
you know who he's going to look negative on.
Yeah.
Because you got a veteran quarterback that's played a number of years
in the league.
And like you said, he did win the Super Bowl.
He did go to a Pro Bowl.
He once had a season which he threw 27 touchdowns
with two interceptions.
So it's like, man,
he tried to help Justin Fields
and Justin Fields doesn't,
he's uncoachable.
You can't help it.
And it's so funny.
It's always the black quarterbacks
where stuff like this comes out.
You think it only happened with them?
I guarantee you it definitely doesn't.
I think when Brett Favre
and Aaron Rodgers were there,
I'm sure there was some of the same,
you know,
hey, it was some of the same issues.
You know, I think it happens like that when you have two players at a certain position.
And you understand that if you're not playing well, the person that's trying to help and coach you could eventually be taking your job if you don't play up to par.
And it just it is what it is.
It is what it is.
It's no secret that Aaron Rodgers is a big fan of New York Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett.
Other than the organization may not feel the same. According to SNY, the Jets reportedly consider bringing a board somewhat above Hackett to run the offense.
They are legitimately concerned with Hackett's ability to be successful to run the offense. There are legitimate concerns with Hackett's ability
to be successful
to run things.
It almost feels like
the Jets are putting
so much faith
in Rodgers' ability
to correct
Hackett's wrongdoing.
I don't like that.
But Nathaniel Hackett
has always had
some type of
issues and problems
from an offensive standpoint
as a coordinator.
Actually, before he even got here.
Wasn't there an issue
when he was winning?
Never.
He was the head coach.
He got the job.
Issues in Denver.
Wait, where was he before Denver?
He was the offensive coordinator
at Green Bay,
but he didn't call no plays.
And see, what happened was
is that Aaron Rodgers
won those back-to-back MVP.
Right.
Look, I mean, how much credit
do we actually give
the offensive coordinator
to coach Tom Brady?
Because look,
when they didn't have Brady,
how'd he look?
Exactly.
So now we understand
that not much coaching goes on
once you're in that structured environment.
It's all X's and O's.
So it's up to you
to execute those X's and O's
once you're in between those lines
now you understand
why coach gets fired
because there's certain players
and player personnel
that aren't able to live up
to the expectations
that are expected from the person
that's doing the play calling
I believe
Nathaniel Hackett
got that job in Denver
because
they believed
he could deliver Aaron Rodgers Aaron Rodgers got
the job and went back to Green Bay he got the job in the Jets because Aaron Rodgers comes to the game
that's some great boy to have it is it is so that's like if you're JoshDaniels, you should always be able to get a job no matter what.
Obviously, when Brady was playing.
Yeah.
Which is why he was able to turn down the job in Indy
and still get an opportunity in Oakland,
excuse me, Las Vegas now.
That's why.
Because of the individual that you were attached to
as to being coached.
And you look at what happened.
Every year, he goes one year,
halfway through the next year, he gets fired.
Yeah.
Two jobs, yeah, two head coach jobs.
Look at him when he was the offensive coordinator
of the Rams.
He had the worst offense in football.
Now, he goes back to New England.
He's with Tom Brady.
He wins Super Bowls.
Now, he gets the job at the coach.
He's like, nah, he sends them a fax.
Nah, I'm good.
I'm turning it down.
Goes back to New England, wins some more.
Gets the job at Las Vegas.
Look at him.
Quarterback always saves the day,
which is why the quarterbacks make the big money.
Okay.
Now it's time for our favorite segment.
It's late at night. I know it's late at night, don't you?
And
so... It's not that late.
It's late at night. And so we're
going to start. You know what? I love being here.
We're going to go ahead and turn it down. We don't need to see that right now.
So it's time for our favorite segment.
It's time for our favorite segment. Y'all know what it is.
It's called Spello
Cinco.
Yeah.
I don't have, I don't even know, I ain't got
my hat with me, man.
You ain't got to take it out of me.
I ain't got my hat with me, man.
Okay. Y'all stay with me. Okay, stay with
the chat. Stay with the chat. Stay with it.
First word.
These are easy
words. Yeah, you always say that. Yeah, easy words. We. These are easy words.
Yeah, easy words.
We'll give you easy words.
Necessary.
It is necessary when you go on the road to bring your equipment
so we can film Nightcap accordingly.
Necessary.
Well, before we start, I don't have my equipment
and we're filming together
because Rell...
Ain't no Rell.
No, I'm telling you.
I'm not telling you.
Rell, she is my assistant.
You know, I told...
No, for real.

Question number one.
The NFL was founded on August 20th of what year?
The NFL was founded on August 20th of what year? The NFL was founded on August 20th
of what year?
1920.
You got an earpiece in?
There you go with that bullshit.
Hey, excuse me, sir.
Can you...
He mic'd up?
Can you communicate?
He got a little earpiece in?
No, he got no earpiece in.
Okay.
I get to say it,
but you got it in.
Let's make a show.
We did.
You got a gel,
but we both got microphones.
I'm trying to figure out
how you...
Because you weren't even here in 1920,
so how do you know?
Probably the lead.
Do you remember when they had
the 100th anniversary?
Yeah. Okay.
Okay.
Question number two.
There were 18 quarterbacks who have won
the NFL MVP award.
What year did a
non-offensive or defensive
player win the NFL
MVP? What year?
There are 19 NFL
not, there are 18
non-quarterbacks
who have won NFL MVP
award. Okay. What year did
a non-offensive
or defensive player
win NFL MVP?
Oh my God. I know
who it is.
But damn.
I'm with a 1982?
Mark Mosley?
Oh, hell.
Oh my God.
That's it.
I swear to God,
somebody had to brief him on this shit.
Hell no.
Hey, I'm logged in.
I'm logged in.
www.shannon.com I'm logged on.
There ain't no dial-up here.
There ain't no dial-up.
This that CG, that Japan guy
is a thousand times faster than 5G. Somebody brief you on these questions. up here? Nah. See, that thing that say no dollar. This that CG, that Japan guy, is thousand
times faster than 5G.
Somebody brief you on these questions.
Somebody brief you. Nah.
My damn room. Nah.
Door busted in like he housekeeping.
Hey, he open the door, talk about housekeeping.
I think you're supposed to ring the doorbell
first.
Hey, somebody in this room is cheating.
I don't know who it is.
What?
But the fact that there are certain questions on here that you should not know.
I don't care how much.
The reason why I know that because it was a strike-shortened season in 1982.
Strike happened in 82, 87, and then again in 2011.
So that was strike year.
Three years the NFL's had strikes.
What does that have to do with knowing who won the kicker
that wasn't an officer or a defensive player?
Because I, Ocho, I'm telling you,
I used to spend all my time.
Nah, I spent all my time doing the same thing.
Nah.
All right, question number three.
Chaddy cheating.
I'm telling you, man.
Y'all can see it on your end.
I know I, don't act like Rich Hall, man.
I see Harry the thing. I'm glad we're out here
and we ain't got no monitors because
the chat thought I was cheating because I was
getting the answers. No, but see,
someone briefed you ahead of time
telling you what the question would be.
I ain't been down here with you.
No, I was downstairs smoking.
I ain't been in here. I ain't left my room as soon as
we got back to the room. As a matter of fact,
I was supposed to have some food.
I don't know where it is.
Oh.
All right.
Here we go.
Shaq, back to the
regularly scheduled program
in which I still feel a little funny
because the fact that he knows
these goddamn answers
to these questions,
something ain't right.
What NFL franchise
is owned by the community rather
than a traditional owner
or ownership group? The Green Bay Packers.
Okay. You know what? All right.
That don't count.
That don't count.
That don't count.

two and she knew that answer. Okay.
