Speaker 1 (04:13):
It was an amazing trip, you know.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
First I went to my high school, and yeah, just
to see the mural that I'm on with the other
dignitaries was amazing.

Speaker 7 (04:21):
I have a caption under it, like your picture. Then
it said I've been covering this league since nineteen eighty
sixth did it say that?

Speaker 1 (04:28):
It did not say what if I was on.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
The one to go under it, it would be if
I'm writing I'm ripping.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Yeah, that was still one. If I'm writing I'm ripping.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
And then I went to North Carolina to Greensboro for
the GNAT for the Black Sports Writers Hall of Fame
something you know that I started. This was the first
year and we had three great inductees in our first class.
Bill Roden, who was a longtime New York Times comments
right for Andscape on ESPN.

Claire Smith was the first woman to cover a beat
for a Major League baseball team.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Can you believe that? Claire Smith?

Speaker 2 (05:07):
And she's in the Baseball Hall of Fame, the only
woman who got as a writer in the Baseball Hall
of Fame. And uh, Mike Wilbon, who everybody knows, of course,
party interruption, but he was a columnist for thirty years
at the Washington Post and I've known all three.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
It was just a great time.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
About one hundred people showed up, a lot of the
students from the school, and I couldn't have been happier
about how it turned out.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
So it was great.

Speaker 7 (05:29):
Yeah, man, congratulations, look good, you sent some photos, We

nice time.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Let's welcome in the odd couple crew because we wouldn't
be able to do this find radio show without them.
Alex is our engineer, Shaye is our producer and for
Rob g Yeah, I think so what week is this?

Speaker 1 (05:55):
It's a really listen is the start week four? I
believe that because I was out the for week and
I've been here three weeks since then.

Speaker 7 (06:01):
Yeah, this is the this is the start of his
fourth we start, okay, maybe start So he's got six weeks.

Speaker 7 (06:09):
Maternity leah, boy, Okay, what I kind of want to
hear it.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Do you know what I mean? If you got six
weeks practice?

Speaker 7 (06:22):
We know the snip snip, it works like ninety percent,
that's right, robb g.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
You bet I'd be that five or six percent that
didn't work coming back saying guess what, guys, I'm just saying,
all right.

Speaker 7 (06:32):
If he comes back and asks me what's it like
having three girls, I'll know something that is pretty.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
That is that is Steve the Sega uh the birthday boy, Steve.
That's right, thirty nine years old today. Happy birthday to Steve.
He's at the anchor desk, will keep us updated throughout
the program.

Speaker 8 (06:48):
Never heard of him, Never heard of him?

Speaker 5 (06:52):
Never heard of him.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Elijah Man face right here, who's right here in store
with us?

Speaker 1 (06:57):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Elijah's our social media the guru, one of the best
in the business. All right, let's go, let's get started. Yeah,
the Warriors, they were at home. They had a chance
to get into the playoffs. All they had to do
was beat the Clippers. Pizza cake, right, They've been bawling
out that they got no but I'm just saying, right

(07:20):
after getting Jimmy buckets, oh my god, they're rolling the Warriors.
A different team. You don't want to go into the
play in if you don't have to.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
They're at home.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
The Clippers won to roll. They weren't expected to win
that game, were they. No, Clippers get it done in overtime.
They're in the playoffs and instead the Warriors are in
the playing But here's the biggest thing at the end
of the game. How in the world I'm asking you,

(07:50):
Kevin all right, I've said this forever. People want to
crown Steph Curry as the greatest shooter of all time.
And my pushback on that is that he doesn't make
big shots in those moments and you can't be the
greatest shooter.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
And they go, well you're talking about clutch.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
No, if you're talking about somebody being the greatest shooter,
I'm always giving them the ball, am I Right, Like
there's nobody on the court. I would rather give the
ball shooting. If you tell me he's the greatest shooter
of all time, if you tell me Michael Jordan's the.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Greatest basketball player of all time.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
And we got five or six seconds to go and
down by three, of course I'm giving the ball to
Steph Curry. Right, he's made the most threes. He's the
greatest three point shooter. Even I can't argue that the
numbers bear it out. But when you start talking about

(08:49):
the greatest shooter of all time being clutch and making
big baskets have to be in a part of the equation.
Come on, we know that just making me less baskets
don't make any sense. And there's Steve Kerr with the
clipboard and everything, and he draws up the play and
guess what, it's not.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Going to Steve. It's not going to Steph Curry.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
The players for Buddy Heeal who misses the three pointer
and they lose. Right, I'm not surprised Steve Kerr was logical.
He knows the numbers don't tell me that. Oh well,
they're gonna double team him and they didn't want to
get the ball. No, No, great players are always double

(09:38):
team and always get extra attention right defensively, Maybe it's
because Steve Kerr had the numbers in front of him.
Steph Curry career three point field goal. You ready, the
last five seconds of the fourth quarter are overtime to
tie or take the lead. Season twenty one point four percent,

(10:04):
six for twenty eight postseason one for four to twenty
five percent.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
He doesn't make the big shot.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
It's further proved that he is not nt the greatest
shooter of all time. He's damn good. He's the best
three point shooter. I'll give you that, but the best shooter.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
No.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
And here's the last part, Kelvin, it's all your okay.
Did Steve Kerr disrespect Steph? Or did he call it right?
He did not disrespect Steph. He's trying to win. He
got it right, all right. Couple couple points here. Number one.

Speaker 7 (10:53):
I think what we saw was a great play design
by step Steve Kerr, who also has been a recipient
the best at something swinging him the ball, Michael Jordan,
the best ever have swung Steve Kurr the ball, and
he's knocked down a couple of big shots in his
career with the Bulls, and a couple of big shots
as well with the Spurs, so I think he understands

(11:14):
to win a game, it always ain't got to be
the best. John Paxson hit a big one with Jordan.
I know, we like to think of Jordan making all
the shots. Other people hit big shots. Also, I'll remind
you that there was a time when Scottie Pippen was
a MVP candidate in ninety four ninety three to ninety four,
the year in which Michael Jordan was playing baseball and

(11:35):
Phil Jackson dropp a play to go to Tony Kuk
coach who had been better at something throughout the season,
and he said, hey, we're gonna run this to Kuk
coach and Pippen said, hey, man, you know why I am.
Don't do this to me? And he said, cool, Pip,
don't sit down. This is Pippin, six time champion Pippin,
and Pip didn't going to game. Kuk coach hit the shot.
My point is there have been times where players have
been drawn up for the person who is.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Not the star of the team. But it makes sense.

Speaker 7 (11:58):
One of the greatest things stuff already does besides shoot,
is he is the greatest decoy. So much so that
they need to come up with another stat the second
assist or the hockey assist, because when he cuts through
a lane, everybody goes to him. When he comes off
a curl for the three, everybody goes in. And a
lot of people have made money and made shots because

(12:19):
of Steph Coole, his whole team for the last ten years,
every single person not named him, including Klay Thompson.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
See see why your argument doesn't Holdward, I just gave
you twenty eight times he had a chance to do
what we just talked about, So.

Speaker 7 (12:33):
Ain't like now I'm not even talking about him taking
a shot right now, Rob, I'm talking about the call
of the play.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
What I'm saying to you is he's had twenty eight
opportunities to do that. So your idea that he's a
decoy and they go away from him because somebody else
will be open.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Why did he take twenty eight shots in no situations?
Because you know he's going to shoot and you want
him to shoot.

Speaker 7 (12:55):
But I'm saying, in this particular play, I'm not mad
at it because it worked. It got Buddy Hill look,
and he just horribly missed it. Belty Hill. And this
is also Buddy Hill for all of his career is
at like forty percent from three. So you didn't run
to play for Draymond shooting the three but a backpack
on the shoulders. You ran this for Buddy Hill, who
was at more than capable three point shooter, been in
many three point contest one I believe, and so you

(13:17):
drew it for a great guy who got a great
look and just missed it. Now, as far as the shooter,
I've said this a million times, Steph Curry is the
greatest shooter I've ever seen, period, point blank. Right there
next to him though, is Larry Bird for me, But
he can. Steph can get off shots because of his
dribble that Larry couldn't get off. But Larry could also
get off shots, especially last second shots being six eight, six',

(13:39):
Nine Michael, jordan because of how, Athletic Kobe, bryant because
athletic lebron because, athletic how, Big and that is the
challenge With Steph. Curry if there are less than probably
five six seven seconds on the shot clock or the game,
clock he's not the best at that because it takes
him a while to get a. Shot we've seen. Him
he's got ajrip jib, jibble run handed back off for,
you get it back to, him run Off Draymond ruffi's,
Green Joel Joe drew shoot a. Shot that's just his.

(14:02):
Game he's not capable of three seconds. Left get it to.
Him boom boom jack. Pull he's too, short he's not the,
quickest and again teams prepare for. That so it's he can't.
Go that's not his. Thing BUT i still stand on
he's the greatest shooter we've ever. Seen followed by my,
Opinion Larry Bird uh when he comes to the greatest.
Shooter But i'm not mad at them drawing the playoff

(14:23):
For Buddy. Hill it actually worked if you watch. It
three players hovered Over. Steph buddy gets the curl off
to pick From, steph and he got the. Look he
just missed it if he knocked it. Down Steph curry's a.
Genius Steve curry is a. GENIUS i should Say i'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (14:38):

would slap the clipboard out Of Steve curry's hand and,
say give me the ball and get out of the.

(18:32):
Way Steph Curry Lebron james are really really nice guys
and great, teammates and SO i don't think they have
that instinct they're going to make the right basketball. Play
but in moments like, that people want the best to
take the. Shot Steph curry should have knocked the clipboard.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
Out of his hand exactly the.

Speaker 9 (18:57):
Basketball give me the basketball, now IF i come off
three picks and four guys picked me up and three guys.

is one, thing but he is definitely the best shooter
on The Golden State, warriors so you do not go
away from, him particularly in a game that has. Meaning
So Steve, KERR i don't care what kind of relationship you.
Have and you guys you, know are buddy buddy and

(22:21):
can hang out off the. Court, okay this is about
respect and everybody has ego, Right so as far as
The Golden State warriors, concerned and particularly because they don't
Have Klay thompson on the, team, okay it has to
go Through steph and like you, Said, robin other players
if he decided and other caller is really. Good if
he decided to take, it that's one. Thing but you
don't draw something up for anybody other Than.

mardina Nba insider mark G underscore madina On.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
X mark? What's?

Speaker 5 (26:20):
Up man alan? DOING well i was eager to join
you to robin, the STUDIO but i got the. REJECT
here i don't know what that's.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
All, about, yeah yeah well just a type window that's
On the Steve the sega's birthday and there's no room
in the studio.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
Because the cake is. Too big yeah.

Speaker 5 (26:36):
That's WOW and i can't even get. A, SLICE okay
i see?

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Why? Not wait, just yeah That Was STEVE all i.
Got him he just put one in the fridge. For,
YOU mark i. Got, you hey let's go to Us.
THE warriors, i mean that's a big game. At home
all you do is Beat? The clippers?

Speaker 2 (26:52):
What what Why is steph not getting the ball to tie?
The game you think all time greatest three point shooter of?

Speaker 5 (26:59):
All time it. IS wild i don't know why you
have plays drawn Up For buddy Heald Or draymond green to.
TAKE layoups i also don't get how they can't close
out a game Against The San antonio Spurs Without Victor.
WEBBIN yama i Mean the warriors are really shooting themselves
in the foot. HERE now i think, in fairness they
should Beat The, memphis grizzlies even though they're technically zero

(27:19):
to three all time in. Playing Games the warriors are
a better team Than. THE grizzlies i.

Speaker 7 (27:24):
Don't think I'M actually i DON'T because i THINK if
ja were to Wash, out steph, you know thirty, for
thirty if, you win they both go, and Third, like
nanny comes down to, everybody else and you never know.

Speaker 5 (27:36):
That's true, But, PLAYOFF jimmy, i mean that's the. Real
deal but.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
How do they lose And the Clippers and clippers and
a big game?

Speaker 1 (27:44):
At home Is what i'm saying.

Speaker 5 (27:46):
WITH you i am. With you. It's unacceptable they got to.
BE better i Understand the clippers to some degree because.
They're healthy they're playoff seedings on the, Line too but
to Lose, the spurs you can't afford those kind. Of
mistakes But what i'm saying is, on paper they should
still Beat.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
The.

Speaker 5 (28:01):
GRIZZLIES yeah i Get The Steph Curry john moran matchup
that might cancel each, other out but this is what. They, Got,
playoff jimmy for here the.

Speaker 7 (28:09):
SHOW up i agree with you, That, This, hey jimmy
this is why you're here so that we can have
somebody else who can get a twenty five in a,
big spot make a, big basket or make a. Big
stop that is why you're there, looking now now that
everything is set in, the postseason let's go To The
western conference just to. Stay there what matchup are you
looking at and, maybe, thinking hey that could, be fun

(28:30):
that could, be wild that could be a crazy one
to keep an.

Speaker 5 (28:33):
Eye, ON well i think all of them are going
to be crazy. And fun but as far as like,
UPSET potential i think If the warriors get that, seventh
seed they could Beat The. Houston rockets they've had right
for season success Against the rockets make. It clear i'm
not going to be one of those answers, that, say
Oh the rockets don't have enough. Playoff experience They got Fred,
Van vliet he's won a championship With The. Raptors imaadoka

(28:54):
he Guided the celtics TO The nba finals Against the
warriors in twenty. Twenty two they have a good. Young
core they're an elite. Defensive team But, the warriors they
got a great. Defensive team and again that Combination with
Steph And jimmy butler, very good, very first but here's.
Very dynamic they can. Make adjustments, BUT look i Think
the wolves can Upset the. LAKERS too i don't think

(29:16):
that will HAPPEN because i Think the lakers are peaking
at the. Right POINT but I think i expect a
lot of fluidity In The. Western conference you got that
four or five matchup With The. Nuggets Clippers the clippers
are playing better basketball Than, the nuggets which are a
hot mess with the, you know the Firings With michael
malone And And. Calvin booth not clear How Healthy jamal.
Murray is, so yeah everything's up in the air as

(29:37):
far As the.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
West coast but even when you talk About, the warriors
like their record is a little deceiving because they beat
a lot up teams under, five it you KNOW what,
I mean like like you could look at it, and,
go Oh once jimmy, got there they.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
Were, rolling yeah but they weren't.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
Playing anybody and that's the scary that's the scary part about.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
THE words i don't think. THEY'RE fixed i really don't think. They're.

Speaker 5 (29:57):
FIXED yeah i think it' all. Very fluid and then
on the, rockets end they've gone on so many consecutive,
winning streaks they've an elite. Defensive team they have. A
toughness they're not just A young aau players trying to
get their. Numbers anymore they play with. A purpose there's
a very, balanced offense and they got a lot of
good perimeter Defenders In Jabari. Smith junior I'm on thompson's

(30:21):
one of the fastest players IN. The nba so they
do have what it takes to make a deep. Playoff
PUSH but i think, you know when you're looking Out,
the west outside of the thunder facing whoever as an,
eighth seed everything. Could happen but as far As The,
eastern conference after you're Talking about Cleveland and boston as
the one in, TWO seeds i think it's all gonna
Be chalcol it's gonna be kind of boring In The

(30:42):
eastern conference because there's not really going to be. Any,
upsets well although a.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
Lot of people would disagree.

Speaker 7 (30:47):
With that Because the business were three and one Against
the knicks to do out the, regular season a lot of,
people say well that's the one to watch.

Speaker 5 (30:53):
Right, THERE yeah, i mean look that is very, well
TRUE but i think it helps they have a Hell The,
Jalen brunson now he has a great clutch player down. The,
stretch uh he has very much carried, their offense especially
in crunch. Time MINUTES so i think that that return
is going to make. The, difference Look the pistons. REAL. Deal,

(31:15):
jb vickerstack, Great Coach kate cunningham has grown as. A leader,
they have, you know a really good outside shooter In The,
leak beasley The other, Thompson Brother, asar thompson another. Great
DEFENDER but i just feel Like The jalen brunson factor
With the knicks is too strong now and the And
the bisons Or, the calves but strong enough to Be.

(31:35):
The pistons But.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
The pistons also didn't play well against teams over five.
Hundred Either, the, knicks though you could go look at,
their RECORD and i just think.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
It's gonna be a good one. To watch it, Will
BE but i don't think If the knicks Lose that
tims is. Gonna lose.

Speaker 5 (31:51):
I've heard it here First From rob.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
And what did you?

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Think anyway last Thing on phoenix, and uh, you know
five years of a five year contract ziggied after? One,
YEAR yeah, I mean, i mean what are you shocked
or not Surprised considering i'm.

Speaker 5 (32:07):
NOT surprised, i mean this is what. He does mattishbia
fires a head coach after every single season Because the.
Sun's underachieved i'm not going to Say that booneholzer. Is blameless,
you know he had a lot of. Different rotations he
wasn't able to connect with. The players if you know
what the common denominator is when you've been Looking At,
Manti Williams frank Vogel And, mike booneholzer it's mostly the.

(32:29):
Roster itself it's very. Top, heavy yes they have some respectable,
rotation players but not, enough depth not, enough defenders AND
so i think the writing is clearly on, the wall
Even though i'm not going to necessarily say This Is kevin,
Durant's Falter devin. Booker's fault they've done, their job but
from a roster, construction standpoint it's too. Top heavy they
got to blow it up because clearly things, aren't working

(32:53):
regardless of who they have as. Head coach, all.

Speaker 7 (32:55):
Right don't be spying on our rundown because we got
that coming up in just a little bit. About, that
yeah we talking about who who's to blame with? All that, All,
right mark. Appreciate it steve said he's gonna FedEx you
that slice the birthday cake and it's on the way,
all right.

Speaker 5 (33:08):

Speaker 2 (35:57):
All?

Speaker 1 (35:58):
Right, uh, so man have you kept up with? The?

Speaker 7 (36:00):
STORY nico i want to say his? Name correctly Quarterback,
In Tennessee Ia. Malaya, ava yeah who gaz? Tin now
ain't gonna say it, faster though, Hold on steve stopped laughing.
Over there Ian MALAY ava a boy. On fire i'mnna
start with on, My. Head steve, All right, so no
here's what sod should.

Speaker 10 (36:19):
Have.

Speaker 7 (36:19):
Been dumb he had a good season last Year for
tennessee got them into the college, football playoffs a lot
of people excited about what could be this.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
Next year and then.

Speaker 7 (36:28):
He decides to electrify the portal and throw himself. In
there and this becomes a big deal because again he
looking at a guy who had nineteen touchdowns, five interceptions
again got them to the College football Playoffs. With tennessee and,
they're thinking this is gonna be even better. Next year
but that's not. The case so the conversation started to
Be rob they started to have. Some reports they had,

(36:48):
some uh, you know big wigs and other conferences and
other schools in, the conference and they asked them and
a lot of them, are, saying ah he's not gonna
get more. Than two some are saying give him five,
hundred guaranteed and then a bunch of. Incent them some, are,
saying look if you're a team that feels like you're
a quarterback away and it might cost you three million
dollars to get, this KID and i can put you

(37:09):
over to hump and then you're gonna. Do it so
the bigger conversation is, To me i'm starting to look
at who's gonna break?

Speaker 1 (37:16):
The system Is what. I'm thinking rob.

Speaker 7 (37:19):
Who's gonna be that one transfer where, it's like, all,
right okay this has gone, too far or the request
of the money is, too high where, it's like, all,
right now he's making more than a lot of quarterbacks IN.
The nfl, you know there are, you know the backups,
and whatnot and you wonder if this is, the one
because it's been relatively quiet when it comes to the transferportal.

Speaker 1 (37:35):
Until him and, to ME what i.

Speaker 7 (37:39):
Don't like the ONE thing i don't like in all
of THIS is i don't like.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
The SPIRIT and i understand this, IS listen i.

Speaker 7 (37:46):
Get It, it's, america capitalism, Free enterprise go get. Your
money i'm not mad, at THAT but i just kind
of disliked the Idea that i'm gonna go just because
somebody's offered me another two hundred and fifty thighs when
This school tennessee was set to pay him two million
dollars and somebody's gonna get me two hundred two million,
and five, you KNOW because i think about part of

(38:09):
what makes sports great is when you're locked down with,
your brothers you all are in and we're trying to
war and. Accomplish SOMETHING and i understand the. Money in but,
to me man to, what, availed like are we so
then you do you leave the?

Speaker 1 (38:20):
Next, year yep you can. Do it you can do whatever.

Speaker 4 (38:22):
You want i'm.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
Not Knowing obviously i'm not mad at him, Doing that but,
FOR me i.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
DON'T understand i don't understand he asked for a certain
amount of Money and tennessee has a right to say,
thank you, but no, Thank you we're not gonna. Pay
you so. You go how much are? YOU worth i
talked about this in my class TODAY At. Usc calvin
how much are? You worth whatever somebody's gonna. Pay, you
okay there. You go it's just. That Simple if steven

(38:46):
they worth twenty, million, dollars yes. He is THEY pay
espn is willing to pay twenty million a year.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
Doctor what was?

Speaker 7 (38:55):
The?

Speaker 2 (38:55):
Name judge judy was making five fifty million a year
to do half an hour really REALITY based, tv show nonsense,
Dribble right but they can generate enough money to pay
her fifty somewhere forty five million.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
A year they said she used to work fifty days a.

Speaker 7 (39:13):
Year recording Show knock out about, five Episodes, Go Away,
come Back, knock Out A. Boy, fight yep everything shows bam.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
Bam bam.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
Not right so my point is what are? You worth
you're worth what someone's willing to. Pay you and he
can go in there and ask for, the moon and
AND and i don't have any Issue with tennessee saying, thank.

Speaker 1 (39:35):
You we're, giving You.

Speaker 7 (39:37):
So i'm Not for my only THING is i look
at it from a sports standpoint of then we might
as well just to fully expect it to. Be well it,
already is but professional in that nobody is locked. In
Professional but i'm saying nobody is locked in, to, say
hey here's, our program here's. Our system given, you know
we got this, new team we got a, freshman here
so sophomore, of that we're gonna win it in the.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
Next one just like just like the co which is
when they get A beg THAT'S what i don't. Even
buy like, the players they.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
Want more coach gets a has, a job take takes
a team on the run in. The tournament the next
right the, next day some bigger school comes, and, says
hey here's, more money and the, coach goes thank this.
Was nice i'm not gonna stick around to Hope that
i'm gonna take the bigger job and the.

Speaker 7 (40:21):
More money so you have to go into this as
a player operating with the one, year mindset because gone
of the days of, you know we got a two
three year program where we're trying to win. This thing
it is one year because half your team. Might leave
your star player here. Might leave you Get what. I'm
saying the only way.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
It changes is if a guy Like this, nico right
who's out there and nobody picks, him up and that,
Is okay and then and then nobody picks, them up
and then people have, to rethink do.

Speaker 7 (40:50):
You PROB some i get, you Going but i'm just
saying people would have to happen to a. Kid earlier,
you know he didn't get what he thought he was.
Gonna get but we'll keep an. EYE this i just
hate that you come in thinking you're about to build.
A system give us, a, year two we're gonna Win some, it's,
like man you better win it this year because you
don't know who's gonna be here next year might be.
