9
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:16,320
lot of news on top of that so let us not delay any further let's get right into it.

10
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:23,880
As always we start with the players of the week, we'll start with the West, Luca Donkage

11
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:31,240
of the Dallas Mavericks, his team went 4-0 for the week, they beat the likes of Philly

12
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:38,160
and then from there they won at Brooklyn and then they won at Madison Square Garden against

13
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:44,880
my Knicks and then they got home and beat Oklahoma City Thunder.

14
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:55,240
So Luca for the week 31.3 points per game, 10.5 rebounds, 8 assists and 1.7 steals for

15
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,440
the week.

16
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:06,840
He shot it from the field 51.2%, over 44% from 3 and free throws not so great out of 35 he

17
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:14,000
missed 11 of them so you can always do better in that regard but Luca Donkage playing well

18
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,560
for his Mavericks and he gets a player of the week.

19
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:23,160
For the East the same guy who got player of the month, Donovan Mitchell of the Cleveland

20
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:31,440
Cavaliers they went 4-0 for the week, they beat the likes of the Sacramento Kings, they

21
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:36,800
won at Washington, they won at Brooklyn and they won at Toronto.

22
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:45,600
Donovan scoring almost 28 points per game with 5 assists and nearly 5 rebounds also.

23
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:50,520
He averaged 2 steals per game and a block per game as well.

24
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:57,440
Shooting it from the field 54% which you like from him and nearly 46% from 3 and guys he

25
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:03,120
was perfect from the free throw line sinking all 14 for the week.

26
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,200
So guys that is your players of the week.

27
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,240
Let us move on and talk about All-Star Weekend.

28
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,680
Let's get right into it.

29
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,240
So we'll start off with Friday.

30
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,160
Friday as you know you have 2 events.

31
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,920
The celebrity game which I actually ended up watching.

32
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:27,800
I usually don't bother but since the fact that Unk was on there Shannon Sharp he was

33
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,960
coaching one team, Steven ate another.

34
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,160
I said let me tune in.

35
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:38,040
Watched and you know Steven ate he's got to do this and do that.

36
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:45,000
Proved that he's this Maverick coach sort of speak and Shannon he just chilled and did

37
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,440
this thing him in 50 cent and they ended up winning.

38
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,720
So all that preparation Steven ate did.

39
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,240
Shannon team ended up winning.

40
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:59,400
All he did was send Michael Parsons out there to run over people but Shannon his team ended

41
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,480
up winning so got to see that.

42
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:07,680
And then afterwards of course is the Rising Stars that tournament there and you had the

43
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:14,360
four teams going at it because the way they do it is a team of four, seven guys for each

44
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:20,240
team and they're drafted amongst the corresponding coaches.

45
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:28,280
You had team Jalen which featured guys like Ben Maffarin, Chet Holmgren was on there, his

46
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:35,240
teammate Jalen Williams as well and they played the first game versus team Tamika, Tamika

47
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:43,800
Catchings being that she's a long time Indiana Fever player and she coached guys like Jayton

48
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:52,600
Ivy who oh by the way she played with Jayton Ivy's mom in the WNBA so you have that affiliation

49
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:53,600
there.

50
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:59,760
Also on that team guys like Paolo Boncaro was on there as well.

51
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:05,400
That team played and team Jaylin ends up coming out on top in that one.

52
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:11,240
The star of that series was Ben Maffarin who had a very good game versus team Tamika.

53
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:18,400
And then you had the following game team Powell which had the rookie sensation Victor Wimbayama

54
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:26,680
as well as Brandon Miller of the Hornets was on there, surprise rookie Jamie Jocquez Jr.

55
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:34,000
He was on that squad as well and they took on team Detliff a team that was all G-leaguers

56
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:42,320
guys including the dunking extraordinaire Matt McClung and also guy like Amani Bates

57
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:48,520
who's done time with the Cleveland Cavaliers but he's in the G-league right now.

58
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:55,400
And then team Detliff surprisingly so beats team Powell which advances them to the final

59
00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:02,760
game versus team Jaylin and then when all is said and done team Jaylin gets to win guys.

60
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:08,320
And then the MVP of the tournament here was Ben Maffarin.

61
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:15,120
So you have the Indiana flavor there being that the game is in Indiana obviously.

62
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,320
So that is your Friday night guys.

63
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,000
Then we move on to Saturday.

64
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:29,160
Of course they had their HBCU classic where you had the two colleges there Virginia Union

65
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,680
versus Winston Salem State.

66
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:38,960
A team that was once coached by the great Clarence Big House Gaines and of course the

67
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:45,120
second most famous alum Stephen A. Smith first one being Earl Monroe.

68
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:51,080
So you had that game first and then of course in the evening you had the All-Star Saturday

69
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,560
night with all the skill events.

70
00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:01,800
Starting with the skills challenge which had team Indiana consisting of Tyrese Hollyburton

71
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,160
Ben Maffarin and Miles Turner.

72
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:12,640
Team All-Stars featuring Trey Young, Tyrese Maxey and Scotty Barnes and then team Top

73
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:19,160
Picks with Anthony Edwards, Paolo Boncaro and Victor Wimbayama.

74
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:25,160
So they have them compete in three separate competitions and then they have the final

75
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:30,440
one where you know you shoot it out whoever makes the long distance three they end up

76
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:31,440
winning.

77
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:37,960
When all is said and done, team Indiana gets the victory in the skills challenge.

78
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:45,800
So you have Indiana once again prevailing this time team Indiana gets the win here.

79
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,800
So that is one event in the books.

80
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,320
Then we have the three point shootout.

81
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:57,120
Three point shootout consisted of the winner from last year Damian Lillert, his teammate

82
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:04,480
in Milwaukee, Malik Beasley, also Jalen Brunson of My New York Knicks, Tyrese Hollyburton

83
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:12,160
who just competed in the skills challenge for Indiana, Laurie Marketing of Utah Jazz,

84
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:19,760
Donovan Mitchell of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Carl Anthony Towns, Minnesota Timberwolves

85
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:26,160
and Trey Young of the Atlanta Hawks who also competed in the skills challenge.

86
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:33,480
And after that first round you had four guys tied with 26 points which led to a 30 second

87
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,320
shootout.

88
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,640
One person would have to be dropped from there.

89
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:46,800
The guys who had the 26, Dame, Holly Burton, Kat and Trey Young.

90
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:53,120
When all was said and done Tyrese Hollyburton he ends up with the lowest score in the 30

91
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,560
second shootout.

92
00:08:54,560 --> 00:09:01,400
So the finals consisted of Dame, Carl Anthony Towns and Trey Young.

93
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:08,760
It came down to Dame putting away the two challengers and becoming the first back to

94
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:17,400
back three point shootout champ since Jason Capono who did it in 2007, 2008.

95
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,840
So you're talking about some years ago guys.

96
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,640
So Dame ends up winning.

97
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:31,960
Then we move on to one of the premier events which was Sabrina Nescu versus Steph Curry.

98
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:39,240
The one on one three point contest between them which happened basically after last year

99
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:47,920
when Sabrina Nescu set the WNBA record by sinking 25 or 27 shots.

100
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,000
You know the whole world was buzzing when she did that.

101
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,720
So much so that Steph says, man I got to challenge her one of these days.

102
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:02,160
She took him up on the challenge and then he got caught on the mic talking to one of

103
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,520
his rookies on the team about it.

104
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:11,200
And lo and behold the NBA said, you know what let's add this to the mix for Saturday night

105
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:12,920
and they did so.

106
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:18,440
Now in this contest Sabrina she could have shot from her line.

107
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,560
She chose to shoot from the NBA three point line.

108
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:28,000
So you got to give her tremendous credit for wanting to shoot from there.

109
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:34,080
And I'm sure in her mind she thought that you know what if I shoot it from my line I

110
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:43,040
know I'll hear it from the critics from the social media knuckle draggers from the guys

111
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,000
locked away in their grandma basement.

112
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:53,320
So let me shoot from this NBA three point line which she did using a WNBA ball which

113
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,400
oh by the way it's just an inch smaller than the NBA ball.

114
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,960
So people make it sound like she's shooting with a volleyball for Pete Sakes.

115
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:08,040
It's still a good size ball just an inch shorter than the regulation ball.

116
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:15,520
So she goes first and she ends up with a score of 26 which oh by the way Damian Lilith won

117
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:22,480
with that same score to win the three point shootout between the contestants there.

118
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:28,240
So Sabrina gets a 26 outstanding performance I must say.

119
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,920
So that left Steph Curry.

120
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,720
Steph Curry goes up there.

121
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:37,320
He has she kind of nervous because he has that money rack at the end and he proceeds

122
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:47,520
to knock down four of the five money balls and ends up winning 29 to Sabrina's 26.

123
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:55,280
So Steph ends up winning and Steph is I don't think we can make any mistake about it guys

124
00:11:55,280 --> 00:12:01,280
he is the best long range shooter the game has ever seen and he ends up winning but

125
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,840
Sabrina took the man to the limits that's for sure.

126
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:12,120
She definitely did that so kudos to her and then of course there's the controversy that

127
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:20,200
went on after a lot of people are buzzed about Kenny Smith going off the rails mind you when

128
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:25,640
it started he was like team Sabrina rooting for then when she lost then it's like oh she

129
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:32,600
should have shot from the W NBA line instead of the NBA line and Reggie had to school him

130
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:39,400
and say she chose to do that it was her choice and he said it doesn't matter muscle memory

131
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:45,560
this that and then the third and then Reggie started teasing them talk about he want to

132
00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:50,760
put boundaries on her and then he said I bet you want to go back to playing with dolls

133
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:56,720
because prior to that Sabrina story is that she wanted to play basketball with the guys

134
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:01,320
but the coach said you know she used to be somewhere playing with dolls.

135
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:09,000
So Reggie says that to Kenny Smith and he says yes she should play with dolls bad move all

136
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:17,440
the heat has come down on him on Twitter on IG everywhere and then he goes and tries to

137
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:24,880
explain it away on Stephen A Smith show then he's talking about darts and all kind of stuff

138
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:31,160
and I'm like bro just even you gonna stand 10 toes or what you said or just issue a full

139
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:39,280
apology don't do this teetering thing and doubts the whole thing she would be damned

140
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:46,240
if she shot it from the W NBA line but she went to the NBA line and she's still getting

141
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:55,000
chained about it she can hold her head up so high coming out of this and for that commentary

142
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:03,040
to kind of soil it was a bad look not a good look and kudos to Reggie Miller for kind of

143
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:07,920
trying to set him straight there because you know Reggie Miller he comes from a family

144
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:14,360
where oh by the way his sister was one of the greatest to ever lace him up Cheryl Miller

145
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:22,760
so Reggie knows what's good so kudos to Reggie but Kenny yes sometimes you run your mouth

146
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:29,240
too much in these sort of things happen to you but I'll leave that alone there so Steph

147
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:36,360
ends up winning that then we move on to the dunk contest you know guys oh let me just

148
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:44,440
tell you who was in it Matt McClung who won it last year the G. Lee kid Jamie Jocquez

149
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:52,600
Jr. from the Miami Heat Jalen Brown all star by the way from the Boston Celtics and Jacob

150
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:58,840
Toppin the brother of Obi Toppin who now plays with the Knicks your judges were Dominique

151
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:05,720
Wilkins seemed like every year he's a judge go figure the glove Gary Payton Mitch Richmond

152
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:14,040
as well Fred Jones I had to like who's Fred Jones but he actually won it back in 2004

153
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:21,680
I want to say with the Indiana Pacers I did not realize this and then Darnell Hillman

154
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:28,480
a Indiana Pacer from the ABA days he was one of those guys with the big afros but the

155
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:35,880
man could ball that's for sure so that was your five judges now in terms of the contest

156
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:43,440
let me just say and I actually went back to listen to what I said about it last year and

157
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:48,960
I'm probably on the same vein this year I think we come to a point where the slam dunk

158
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:58,840
contest you might have to put it to rest we're at a point now where the creativity I mean

159
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:06,280
it's there but it's like we've seen just about everything by now and first of all you're

160
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:12,960
not getting star players to do it you're not getting no names to do it if you look here

161
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:19,080
it's basically two G. Lee guys if you want to say Jacob Toppin he's a G. Lee guy who

162
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:24,880
happens to come up and be with the Knicks because they're short handed you got a rookie

163
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:31,840
and Jock has and you have a all star I was surprised Jalen jumped in this but he did

164
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:40,480
and you know looking at the dunks and then Jalen oh my gosh he calls himself reliving

165
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:46,880
the D. Brown the one where he pumps up his Reebok and then he does it with his eyes

166
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:54,280
covered the only problem is he covered his eyes after the dunk and he got booed by everyone

167
00:16:54,280 --> 00:17:00,480
in the building and they still gave him a good score on top of that unbelievable in

168
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:07,200
my opinion I think in the judges mind I don't know if they were mandated or not I don't

169
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:13,480
know but I guess in their mind it was we got to have this G. Lee kid go against a named

170
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:21,040
guy Jacob Toppin who I thought had a fine performance to me he got robbed he got robbed

171
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:28,240
for the bigger name in Jalen Brown that's my story I'm sticking to it so you have to

172
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:36,800
find a round between McClung and Jalen Brown and McClung of course in mind you he had four

173
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:45,280
dunks three of the four he jumped over people but in the end he gets to win so Matt McClung

174
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:51,080
he becomes a back-to-back winner but I'm of the mindset you know what I think we need

175
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:59,400
to put the kibosh on the slam dunk contest what do you replace it with I don't know maybe

176
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:06,280
they've been talking about as well as Sabrina's doing with the three point contest they said

177
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:12,200
maybe bring her and Caitlyn clock mind you if Caitlyn clock the Klairs of course to

178
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:19,480
come to the WNBA have them two against Damon Steph or something like that who knows we'll

179
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:27,080
see what happens so with that said let's talk about the main game guys let me start with

180
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:34,680
the final score first before I say anything else the final score ends up being the East

181
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:46,800
211 that's right I said 211 to the West is 186 so guys you talk about a combined 397

182
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:53,920
points that was scored I get it I understand you know we're in a different day and age

183
00:18:53,920 --> 00:19:01,520
now but in all honesty guys this is not good I've heard all the talking heads talk about

184
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:10,320
it of course it's even they call it a atrocity my guys the odd couple they call it a disaster

185
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:16,520
my other guys on giving gold they talked about it as well then you have the players who you

186
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:23,240
know they were asked what can they do to change up things where guys actually compete guys

187
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:29,280
like LeBron pretty much threw up their hands they didn't know what to do and then Anthony

188
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:35,760
Edwards first of all he kind of fumbled the ball this whole weekend by saying he's gonna

189
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:42,400
shoot with his left hand and so forth here's why I want to say that Anthony Edwards you

190
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:49,880
got next basically LeBron's on you know it won't be long for he's on his way out Steph

191
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:55,640
not long before he's on his way out Kevin Durant not long before he's on his way out

192
00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:02,040
so you guys are next so you gotta take things serious to come in and say you're only shooting

193
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:08,640
with your left hand what are we doing here and it showed because you had not such a great

194
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:18,040
game and you see guys like Shay Gilkis Alexander they came looking to kick butt and take names

195
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,720
but you kind of you know not being serious about it and even when they asked you about

196
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:31,040
it like oh no one takes it serious so where do we place the blame for this oh before I

197
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:38,640
go any further let me just say so I gave you the score at halftime it was the East 104

198
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:49,000
to the West is 89 which is another record and your MVP though it much debate Damian

199
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:57,560
Lilith who scores 39 points he knocked down 11 threes in this game guys including two

200
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:07,440
from half court it was like he's just pulling up normal along with six assists three rebounds

201
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:12,680
terese holly Burton fine game and a lot of people thought he should have wanted 32 points

202
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:20,560
for him he knocked down 10 threes himself seven rebounds six assists for him and then

203
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:27,360
you have other guys Jaylen Brown who I guess he said I gotta redeem myself from the Saturday

204
00:21:27,360 --> 00:21:36,000
night debacle 36 points for him he hits six threes in this game eight rebounds three assists

205
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:44,800
you know I just had 23 Tatum had 20 for the East for the West all Anthony towns he's

206
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:53,120
like the king of these crazy high point games where he loses 50 points he scores my he scored

207
00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:58,800
31 in the fourth quarter and then I saw the one donkey tried he couldn't really he was

208
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:07,440
trying to do it between his legs and you couldn't do it the man took 35 shots wow eight rebounds

209
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,360
three assists for him so he led the way for the West.

210
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:17,000
Shai Gilchrist Alexander I said he came to take care of business 31 points for him he

211
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:24,720
dropped seven threes which normally isn't in his wheelhouse SGA showing up six assists

212
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:34,760
for rebounds then he got Katie with 18 Stephie at 16 LeBron in limited time only eight points

213
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:42,520
for him entering the home stretch for LeBron as far as all star games goes my guy Jaylen

214
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:53,040
Brunson 12 points five assists for rebounds but guys how do we fix this oh by the way

215
00:22:53,040 --> 00:23:02,000
in terms of free throws the East only attempted four free throws for the whole game and May

216
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:10,520
three so of the 211 points only three points were from the free throw line think about

217
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:18,240
that guys and then for the West they only went once and made that so again I come back to

218
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:26,120
what do we do about this we know in the past the mantra was always the first half is for

219
00:23:26,120 --> 00:23:32,960
the fans shorn it up a little bit try to be competitive and then the four quarter especially

220
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:39,000
if there's a close one you going all out so that's always been the mantra but it seems

221
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:45,960
it's changed over the years and then you have what you have this past Sunday how do you fix

222
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:56,040
the all star game I saw this online and I think I heard my guys Rick Kamla and Antonio

223
00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:03,240
Daniels talk about it as well I think they should take a page out of the rising stars

224
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:10,200
because remember the rising stars initially was the rookies against the second year players

225
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:18,160
it was rookie sophomores and then they changed that up and made it USA versus the world then

226
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:24,680
they changed it up where it was a mix of rookies and sophomores and I think it was a draft

227
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:34,040
as well to now this iteration where you have the four teams seven guys to a team and you

228
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:40,560
have somebody coaching them so I think you know a lot of people tradition and everything

229
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:48,320
else but you know something the NFL scrapped their whole pro bowl idea and now it's flag

230
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:56,080
football so I think the NBA you have to just say you know we have a long history of all

231
00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:01,640
star competition and so forth but we have to change it we have to change it to make

232
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:09,600
it competitive from what I hear Adam Silva has no desire to expand the rosters which

233
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:17,080
is insane to me I'll say it again you have 30 teams there should be 15 and 15 on each

234
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:24,160
side I don't understand how that's not even in the realm of possibility but I digress

235
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:30,640
but if you were to take the rising stars model then that would give you four teams seven

236
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:37,480
guys you're only expanded it to two extra players I don't see why Adam Silva won't sign

237
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:46,520
off on that and then amongst the pool of players I say don't even get NBA coaches to coach them

238
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:53,880
get these old timers guys who've already played in the league and so forth you get them to

239
00:25:53,880 --> 00:26:00,240
coach these guys and if you do that you won't have the debacle of having Doc Rivers who

240
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:06,560
was on his couch about a few weeks ago to coach an all-star game oh by the way I was

241
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:13,360
talking to of course friend of the show my guy D and I told him that oh this all-star

242
00:26:13,360 --> 00:26:20,160
game fitted Doc Rivers perfectly because his teams don't play defense anyway had a little

243
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:28,840
chuckle about that but you now eliminate the NBA coaches being involved and you just use

244
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:35,640
like let's say it was in Indiana you can use Larry Bird to coach one team Reggie Miller

245
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:41,520
to coach another team although he's commentating so I guess you can't do that Isaiah Thomas

246
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:47,920
to coach one team and then you get a couple of other people I think that's the fix since

247
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:56,040
you have it for the rising stars I think that's the fix that would work so Adam Silva get

248
00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:02,760
off your high horse and allow this to take place otherwise I mean if it's still 12 and

249
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:08,360
12 you can still do it it's just be six players for each squad and then you play to a certain

250
00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:16,000
amount like the first one to 50 points and then in the final game the first one to 30

251
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:22,680
points maybe so Adam Silva I'm giving these ideas here if you do do it make sure you give

252
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:30,480
me credit that's all I'm gonna say on that guys alright so that's all your all-star

253
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:38,560
stuff let's talk some news guys try and swing around this as quick as I can alright so we'll

254
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:45,360
start with the Lakers the Lakers unveiled the first of three statues Arnor and Kobe

255
00:27:45,360 --> 00:27:51,560
Brian he had a whole ceremony and everything everything was beautiful and that took place

256
00:27:51,560 --> 00:28:00,280
on February 8th of course the date marks the number for Gigi's jersey as well as the number

257
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:07,280
for Kobe Bryant's jerseys mind you he played under two different numbers 8 and 24 and then

258
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:13,880
Gigi with two the day has significance in that regard so that's the first of three that

259
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:21,400
they're gonna unveil guys of course kudos to the Lakers organization of course this

260
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:26,120
pretty much was a fader complete you knew they were gonna do this down the line so this

261
00:28:26,120 --> 00:28:32,760
is the first of three guys and it'll be right outside of the crypto arena over there in

262
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:42,040
LA so that's one bit of news then you have Shaquille O'Neal he has his number 32 jersey

263
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:49,480
retired by the Orlando Magic and guys he's the first Orlando Magic to have their jersey

264
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:57,320
retired and raised to the Raptors so Shaquille O'Neal this is what he did as a Orlando Magic

265
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:05,920
player he played there just four years seemed like it was longer than that guys he average

266
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:15,280
over 27 points per game 12 and a half rebounds 2.4 assists and nearly three blocks per game

267
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:22,240
for him shot it from the field over 58% free throw line you know that was his Achilles

268
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:29,720
heel only 54.6% he won a rookie of the year he was a four time All-Star so every year

269
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:37,320
he was there he was an All-Star three times all NBA he made the playoffs three times and

270
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:44,960
of those three times he got to the first round and his first appearance then got swept out

271
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:51,280
by the Indiana Pacers that next year they make it all the way to the finals but then

272
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:58,960
get swept out by the Houston Rockets and then is following season he makes it all the way

273
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:05,840
to the conference finals but he loses to Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls he gets swept

274
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:14,920
out again that's on Shaq's resume as far as him being Orlando Magic some people say oh

275
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:22,400
it's ridiculous that they retired this jersey I heard Mad Dog Russo talk about it and kind

276
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:28,480
of rail against it being that you know he only played there four years I mean the argument

277
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:36,560
can be made that he's the best player to Don a Orlando Magic jersey and he himself he said

278
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:42,160
he was the most impressed by the fact that he's getting his jersey retired in Orlando

279
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:48,400
he knew what happened in LA he had a feeling about Miami retire in it but he wasn't so

280
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:55,400
sure about Orlando so he was impressed by this so Shaq's jersey gets retired which leads

281
00:30:55,400 --> 00:31:03,440
us to ask who's next in terms of Orlando Magic jerseys being retired I can think of three

282
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:12,200
people Penny Hardaway Dwight Howard and Tracy McGregor of the three Dwight Howard had the

283
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:18,720
longest tenure eight years and I would say Dwight Howard amongst these three is the most

284
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:26,480
accomplished he was a six-time wall star three times defensive player of the year five times

285
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:33,440
all defense six times all NBA so Dwight Howard I would imagine would be a person who get

286
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:41,360
their jersey retired Penny I think possibly could as well he spent six years there both

287
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:48,960
those times over lat with Shaquille O'Neal's time there four time all star three times all

288
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:56,680
NBA two of those times first teamer so Penny I think could possibly get his jersey retired

289
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:02,880
and then there's Tracy McGregor who spent four years there four time all star so he

290
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:09,720
made it every year two times scoring champ while wearing a Orlando Magic jersey he was

291
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:17,480
most improved player his first season there and the only blemish on his stay there is

292
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:22,160
the fact that the three years they made the playoffs they never made it past the first

293
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:29,600
round three times in the playoffs three times being bounced out in the first round so as

294
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:35,440
possible he gets his jersey retired as well so we'll see what happens in that regard alright

295
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:44,520
guys so let us move on LeBron James he vetoes a trade to Golden State I guess Golden State

296
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:48,580
called up offered a package for LeBron.

297
00:32:48,580 --> 00:32:54,120
Bron has veto power of course and he vetoes the deal I don't know what was involved in

298
00:32:54,120 --> 00:33:01,320
it as far as players being on the move to LA I have no idea if I had to venture the

299
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:07,680
guests I would think Kominga would probably have been one of them so LeBron nicks is a

300
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:14,040
deal to go there enjoying Steph Curry who he's has in the past kind of alluded to the

301
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:20,840
fact that it'd be pretty cool for him and Steph to be teammates but well you know too LeBron

302
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:29,080
has a lot going on in LA right now you got Bronny at USC and you got the kids there they're

303
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:35,800
in their prospective schools so to kind of uproot and go to Golden State even if it's

304
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:43,160
just him going would definitely be a change in his household in that regard so he stays

305
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:52,640
and supposedly within that the Lakers promise to consider drafting Bronny James let's say

306
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:58,640
Bronny James left after his first year which I think would be absolutely insane if he did

307
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:05,400
that right now he's a bench player for them it's not like he's getting burned like that

308
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:11,040
I would be stunned if he left after first year it's much more of his game to be developed

309
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:19,200
and I think that development happens in college not in the pro so that's my take on that and

310
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:26,640
oh by the way the Lakers are 8-1 since that cryptic hourglass emoji that he sent out a

311
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:33,200
little bit before the trade their line seems like the Lakers are trying to ride tournament

312
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:38,920
position right now but they're trying to rise themselves up in the standings which makes

313
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:47,600
for interesting run down the stretch for them moving on Victor Wimbayama he has a rare triple

314
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:56,840
double in a road win against the Toronto Raptors in a game that they won 122 to 99 that took

315
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:06,240
place February 12th and in that game guys Wimby goes 27 points shot a great from the

316
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:16,120
field 10 or 14 to a 4 from 3 5 or 6 from the free throw line 14 rebounds and then 10 block

317
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:24,360
shots guys and throwing with that 5 assists and 2 steals phenomenal game from Wimby and

318
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:32,240
that just gives you a glimpse of what he can be in this league alright so moving on my

319
00:35:32,240 --> 00:35:40,200
New York Knicks robbed in the state of Texas in a game against the Houston Rockets the

320
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:48,960
Knicks lose a heartbreaker 105 to 103 but get this guys they lose on a foul call on Jalen

321
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:57,600
Brunson he fouls Aaron Holiday and this happens with less than a second ago on the shot clock

322
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:05,720
in the fourth quarter and the foul was called by referee Jocelyn Goble who has a checkered

323
00:36:05,720 --> 00:36:12,000
record in terms of bad calls he's had another one just this season I believe that was in

324
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:19,560
the Laker game and this is a game where the Knicks trailed at halftime by 14 they clawed

325
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:26,400
their way back made a game of it and then to lose in such a horrendous fashion everybody

326
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:33,920
was up in arms about it myself included and then the head ref of that game at Malloy he

327
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:39,280
would later admit that a foul shouldn't have been called in that game and then you know

328
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:47,760
the two minute rule came out pretty much corroborated what Malloy said the Knicks filed a protest

329
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:55,720
with the league over that game which we know most if not all protests goes on deaf ears

330
00:36:55,720 --> 00:37:04,240
in fact we haven't had one upheld since 2007 2008 in a game where Miami played Atlanta

331
00:37:04,240 --> 00:37:09,960
and there was a foul call on Shaq they thought he filed out but it was actually five files

332
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:17,960
on so they actually replay that one but not since then has a protest been upheld so we'll

333
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:25,120
see what happens in terms of what Adam Silver in the league office says speaking of Adam

334
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:33,240
Silver Adam Silver you know he usually gets his state of the league address right around

335
00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:41,120
all star break so he's been talking about possibly having the expansion team in Las Vegas well

336
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:48,640
you gotta think of it this way guys you have a WNBA franchise out there already very popular

337
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:55,480
out there doing very well by the way so it was seen that this is a match made in heaven

338
00:37:55,480 --> 00:38:01,720
but when you talk expansion you can't just have one team because then you'll have 31

339
00:38:01,720 --> 00:38:08,800
teams so you have to add another who would that other city be of course my mind only

340
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:16,160
goes to one place Seattle because you remove the franchise from there you've heard the

341
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:22,160
rumblings that you know it'd be nice to have a franchise go back there so Seattle is a

342
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:30,200
city I would consider or I think the league would consider with that said let's say you

343
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:36,720
add a team out of Vegas and then you add a Seattle team that gives you 32 teams which

344
00:38:36,720 --> 00:38:43,920
means you're probably going to have to realign now realignment can go one of two ways have

345
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:53,000
a 16 16 split so you can either go two conferences eight teams or you do four conferences four

346
00:38:53,000 --> 00:39:01,720
teams and then also to you're adding two West teams so you're going to have to take a team

347
00:39:01,720 --> 00:39:08,680
out of the West that's currently there and move them over to the East my money would

348
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:14,880
be on probably the Memphis Grizzlies being the one moving to the East that would be

349
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:21,560
the natural move and then you leave everybody else in the West and it just be a matter again

350
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:28,120
of are you doing two divisions or are you doing four divisions it's an interesting dynamic

351
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:33,440
but I guess we can't have this conversation until we hear that it's official we'll have

352
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:38,380
two expansion teams so that's a conversation for down the road all right so let us

353
00:39:38,380 --> 00:39:46,320
continue really quick PJ Tucker I saw this story I nearly fell out of my chair guys

354
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:53,600
PJ Tucker of the LA Clippers guys he only played in 12 games this year so far not getting

355
00:39:53,600 --> 00:40:04,000
much minutes about 14 minutes per game he's being fined by the league $75,000 forget this

356
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:10,720
for requesting a trade prior to the trade deadline this happened on February 8th before

357
00:40:10,720 --> 00:40:17,880
the trade deadline this is absolutely crazy here you have a guy buried on the bench over

358
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:22,520
there with the Clippers who are doing well who probably could use him but apparently

359
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:28,880
they're not the prudent thing would be to either try and move him at a trade deadline

360
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:35,920
or just cut him loose and let him go do a buyout and let him explore a place he can go and

361
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:41,920
be helpful to another team out there that's the right thing to do guys you're kind of

362
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:47,320
holding him prisoner there I don't get that so we'll see what happens with PJ Tucker

363
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:56,880
but he was fine guys 75,000 Wow with that said let us move on rather quickly here after

364
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:06,080
727 starts Clay Thompson has come off the bench for the Golden State Warriors he did

365
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:15,080
it in a road win over Utah 140 to 137 in a game where he saw 28 minutes so he saw a good

366
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:23,760
amount of minutes 35 points guys and he did it on 13 of 22 shooting hit 7 threes guys

367
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:31,640
wow six rebounds and two assists so I would say at this point this is probably the best

368
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:37,800
thing for Clay to do just come off the bench give the team punch off the bench this way

369
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:45,360
you let young guys like Brandon Podzinski you let him get in there be with the starters

370
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:50,640
give him some confidence you know you're probably not going to see a second contract from the

371
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:56,280
Golden State Warriors this way you can kind of showcase yourself for your next team I

372
00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:03,120
say you know if Clay embraces this move this probably can be the best move for him this

373
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:08,080
can probably guarantee him contract elsewhere you're not going to get the big money that

374
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:14,320
you once did but this will at least guarantee you a second life probably somewhere else

375
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:21,560
so I say if you embrace this clay kudos to you man I'm rooting for clay I think he's

376
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:27,480
a future Hall of Famer he's one of the greatest shooters this league has ever seen and he's

377
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:33,760
a two way guy he could defend when he was healthy as well so alright so with that said two more

378
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:42,400
items then we're done the Crispus Attics Museum in Indiana they're going to unveil a statue

379
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:54,200
for Oscar Robinson and this will take place in 2025 guys this one has been long long overdue

380
00:42:54,200 --> 00:43:01,040
Oscar Robinson and they announced this prior to of course the All-Star game being in Indiana

381
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:07,640
but Oscar Robinson is probably the biggest hoop star coming out of Indiana and remember

382
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:13,680
he played for Christmas Attics High School all black school that he ended up going to

383
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:20,120
that ended up winning the state championship for Indiana never got the parade that they

384
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:28,280
were due them because of racial hostilities so if this would be apropos to give him a

385
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:35,080
statue oh by the way the museum is attached to that high school where Oscar Robinson

386
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:41,240
played remember last year too I did a player profile on Oscar Robinson detailing what he

387
00:43:41,240 --> 00:43:49,840
did in high school and so forth so I say way to go Indiana way to go again this was long

388
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:56,600
overdue this man is well deserved of that honor and I look forward to hearing about

389
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:04,080
that next year for Oscar Robinson the big O alright and then the last item congratulations

390
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:12,560
to Caitlin Clark of the University of Iowa she finally breaks the NCAA all-time women's

391
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:18,000
scoring record there was a thought she'd do it last week against Nebraska but she was

392
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:23,680
held scoreless in the fourth quarter but she does it at home front of the home crowd playing

393
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:30,840
Michigan she does it at the 748 mark in the first quarter versus Michigan and of course

394
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:37,360
she pulls up from three from deep and that shot breaks the records so kudos to her and

395
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:47,600
she break Kelsey Plums NCAA record at the time which was 3527 points but folks there's

396
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:54,360
two other records that's out there that the NCAA doesn't recognize one is Lynette Woodard

397
00:44:54,360 --> 00:45:01,480
who played at the University of Kansas this is back in the late 70s early 80s so this

398
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:10,720
is around the AI AW time there a little bit prior to the NCAA's for women and her scoring

399
00:45:10,720 --> 00:45:20,320
record is 3649 and then you have Pearl Moore who went to a small college so that's why

400
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:31,040
it's not recognized but in her time in college she scored 4061 points so I know Caitlin

401
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:37,880
Clark has the NCAA records but as far as all-time women's records you have to go to

402
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:43,200
these two ladies here first so there's that but congratulations to Caitlin Clark none

403
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:50,920
of the Lex this is a great accomplishment and then I gotta bring this up Cheryl Swoops

404
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:56,560
on someone's podcast maybe a couple of weeks back you know she was asked about the state

405
00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:03,600
of women's basketball college and so forth she cited Caitlin Clark and Angel Recess

406
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:10,040
being phenomenal players which they are but she said once they enter the W into the W

407
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:16,840
NBA it's probably gonna be a process before they are able to flourish in the game which

408
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:23,640
is true a lot of people thought when Sabrina and Eskoo entered the W NBA that she would

409
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:29,200
dominate right off the top and that didn't happen it took her a few years but you know

410
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:34,560
right now she's right there amongst all stars in the league and so forth but it took her

411
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:40,000
time or two same with Aja Wilson she didn't come in and dominate the way she's doing

412
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:47,240
now right away it took her time it took her working on a game but it took her time so

413
00:46:47,240 --> 00:46:54,160
the idea that it's gonna take Caitlin Clark some time before she's able to do what she

414
00:46:54,160 --> 00:47:00,760
does in the W NBA I don't think that's a far-fetched conclusion to come to especially from somebody

415
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:08,320
like Cheryl Swoops but you have these trying to be kind here you have these delusional

416
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:15,800
Iowa fans that thinks that she's gonna step into the W and kill it like she's doing now

417
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:22,840
I I don't believe that's gonna happen right away and then I see one person of course social

418
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:30,680
media you see every and the lady had a shirt on that red don't be a Cheryl and I guess

419
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:37,160
trying to play off the don't be a Karen you know that's the latest phrase in these days

420
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:44,280
so she has a shirt that says don't be a Cheryl that is really disrespectful what Cheryl Swoops

421
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:51,960
has done for Game of Women's basketball get a clue lady she dominated in high school dominated

422
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:58,640
in college playing in Texas she went in one gold medals for this country she went into

423
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:05,560
the W the first year she that's when she had the child so she had to sit out once she came

424
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:12,640
back to the league and her body was right she dominated the league guys so this idea

425
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:18,840
that Cheryl Swoops has no clue of what she's talking about is absurd to me I say all that

426
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:24,760
to say I believe it will take Caitlyn Clark a minute or two to get acclimated with the

427
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:31,200
league and so forth before she's able to be herself and then mind you couple that too

428
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:37,440
with the fact that these ladies go overseas to hone their crafts as well so you have to

429
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:42,840
take that into regard too so but great things will happen for this young lady she keeps

430
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:47,920
working she keeps doing the work but it's not going to be overnight success it's going

431
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:53,480
to be a process so I don't think that's talking out of turn I don't think that's talking

432
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:59,920
down about her I think that's the reality of what it is she's transitioning from playing

433
00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:07,360
young ladies to women so that's a whole different ball game I'll just leave it be but alright

434
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:14,400
guys so that is it for me that is this episode I'm still working on the player profile I'll
