The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
Not only did he see a camera crew around, I had a microphone in the reporter's face. It was reporter inception. And he still didn't know what was going on. And so, yeah, next thing you know, there's a story in the Sun Sentinel.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
You don't have to do it in his voice. Well, I didn't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
By the way, great reporting. Now we know where he's from. See, we should give this reporter some standing ovation maybe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
I'm sorry, there are people every day that I see with fake eyelashes. So what's wrong with a little bit of an extra enhancement of your mustache?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
This is... I thought you were saying it was embarrassing for me because Jeremy's friend, a South Florida journalist, did not recognize me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
And what's wrong with that? I mean, what do we do? What do we watch all day on TV? It's just that drama. And I think after five and a half years of them being together, to go from even the fake platitudes and the fake niceness and just, hey, that's my teammates, those are my boys, to just absolute nothing, like, yeah, that has to be a falling off, like one of the worst you've ever seen in the NBA.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
Like, I even, like, Kobe Shaq wasn't even, I mean, I know it was bad, But, you know, people figured, hey, they'll get over it. This one, it just feels like this is just the end of any relationship he could possibly have. And he said they didn't want to burn any bridges with the organization. It seems like he has.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
I mean, it is the relationship that ended. It's not like it's dissimilar. But I think the best part about this, to me, was all the pettiness from the heat. It was not just not talking to him. I think Alec Burks might get in trouble, by the way, because he actually did go in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
But he did call people called Kevin Love and Terry Rozier. But the relationship didn't end when he left. The relationship was over while they were here. So they don't I mean, they they're not happy with Jimmy as well.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
This is fake, right? This is acting. He's wearing glasses. You need a mustache. We got Akbar in here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
That was the strangest part of the whole night because as the beginning of this show had no sound, as soon as you're supposed to hit the music, they played this one part and it was like, I think it's this part of Eminem, right? Where he's just like, it's the return of, just kidding. And I was like, wait, wait a second. That seems like a shot at Jimmy Butler.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
But it was like the Vice jersey thing, right? So that was the beginning of that one. And then the music just didn't play. The video was playing, but no music. There was a popping sound.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
It was a feeling of, oh, Jimmy Butler's gone and everything goes to shit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
Wait, but you can read it for like five seconds before the paywall comes up. So you can get like a different graph each time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
Competitiveness is overrated as just a value to have, right? Because it ruins a lot of things. It ruins relationships. It ruins a lot. And when you talk about somebody like Steph Curry, for example, who's kind of in the center of their universe, what do people say about him? I mean, what do people say about Steph all the time? First thing they say. He's a nice guy. Great guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
Jimmy Butler said in a story by Anthony Slater in The Athletic, he's real real, right? He just treats everybody really nice. You know that's not like a skill, right? You know that's something that you can just do to people, right? And so when you watch the end of that game, or beginning of that game, where they don't shake hands, I mean, nobody, like Bam walks past him as if he was a stranger.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
And then after the game, they have, you know, Not only does Jimmy just kind of slink off and go back to the back without talking to any Heat players, what does every single Warrior do that played with Andrew Wiggins, including Steph Curry, who had already gone back to the locker room, came back out to talk to Andrew Wiggins? Why? Nice guy. People love him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
Like, how is that not so telling about as much as we enjoyed this Jimmy Butler experience for five-plus years, it was always going to be that because that's who he is. And I'm sorry for the Warriors, but at some point he's going to be that there, too. Wow, are you calling the shot now? Well, I mean, you know what? I take that back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
Steph Curry could be that powerful of an alien that his power of friendship is just more, you know, stronger than everybody else's. But it's just, it was the relationship between Miami and Jimmy Butler in a nutshell last night.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
But that normally happens. Like, the issues between the player and management, it's usually, hey, I'm dunking and I'm yelling at the GM on the sideline. This was just icy. This was worse than Kobe Shaq because it was nobody on that team that Jimmy wanted to talk to. Nobody on the Miami team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
What is he going to do, punch an 80-year-old? Are you kidding me? What is that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
No, you wouldn't. I would absolutely love to see them fight.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
Jeremy was so excited about today, and with two words, in seven minutes, you have crushed him, Billy. Not me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
Well, they definitely didn't. I mean, look, that intro video was half-baked. It wasn't. It didn't have the play-by-play. It didn't have the celebration, oh, Miami Heat win the Eastern Conference Championship. It didn't have quotes from Jimmy Butler showing his personality and everything else.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
Is it because they were all lies? They also don't normally do that. Jeremy, please. They also don't normally do that in the intros because they want it to build up a little bit, right? And they do that after the first break.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
Because no one's there. That's another reason. That building was packed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
90% of the Steph Curry fans didn't speak English. This man is an international megastar. Jimmy Butler's just another teammate to them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
Odd, like strange, weird, like ball. Ball. Ball is life. Art is life. Life is art. I do a show with somebody called Amin Elhassan. Amin Elhassan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
Just to be clear, I know he's got some French accessories. I don't believe he's French. Not French. I asked him a million times. He's not French.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
Well, since Amin wasn't there, I'll explain what happened. Akbar and I were sitting there trying to get fans' votes on which Jimmy Butler statue pose we should pick, right? Because I told everybody, hey, things are going to ease off between the heat, cool down between the heat and Jimmy Butler, and they're going to put a statue up there. And so what were the options again? Jimmy Butler was tired.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Akbar Domestique
He made all that money from the Sharon Stone statue.

The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
But who gives out these awards? Because Mick Overrated deserves an award. That column in itself, top two, I would say, of the last decade.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Well, actually, if you don't mind just leaving this loop open for a second, because I'd like to. Chris gets beat up a lot when he misspeaks, right, when he makes mistakes, and he just gets tortured all the time by you mostly, Dan, who misspeak, by the way, Stouffer Stovetop, probably the worst in the history of the show. Chris read the liner, right? Can we do it again for Peloton, please?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
It's easy to understand. If it sounds like a mistake from Chris, it probably is, which is why I just wanted to get out in front of this one, say not a mistake.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Loop closed. Now, what was the original question? Your allegiance.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Dave Hyde or Greg Cody. This one's interesting. Definitely Cody. So I actually checked in on myself the other day when it was the same day, right, where the Heat lost in overtime to Detroit and the Panthers came back and beat the Oilers. That was one of those deals where I watched the Heat game and was in pain. I actually felt it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
I was like, Tyler, what the hell are you doing with five seconds left on the shot clock taking that ridiculous three? And then I said to myself, all right, let me see if the Panthers can soothe me because they've never been on the same level. And that comeback win did it for me. I forgot all about the Pistons. I forgot all about Tyler Hero.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
And it was not just like blindly cheering for sweaters and laundry. I know these guys now. I know how they play. And I know how big a win that was in Edmonton.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
And there was no Barkoff the other night. The thing about the Panthers comparing to the Heat just when you watch them, one team clearly just won the championship, but still feels like every game is important. While the Miami Heat have done that, at least going into the season, labeled it as, hey, every game's important. Jim's going to try to play every game. You know that it's just not the case.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
You know that they're experimenting with stuff. You know that they're floating around one through six seed and they're perfectly happy. Every game doesn't matter as much. So the passion and the want to to actually experience the game, it's a little different now from the Panthers to the Heat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Body parts everywhere.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Largely equal. It's like an extra medium. Are you trying to be hurtful on purpose?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
I was a columnist at the same time as both Dave Hyde and Greg Cody. It's at the Miami Herald, the paper of record. Let's be honest. And there is just something about the weight of a Greg Cody column because you know Greg believes it. Like deep down in his soul, he believes it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
And this is nothing against Dave Hyde, an absolute true professional, a wordsmith, knows how to sort of hit some notes with the fans and the readers, but not quite. quite the same as Greg Cody. Sometimes it might just be a roundup column. Hey, how are all the teams in the city doing?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
But every once in a while, when he hits you with that big energy, that trade merino energy, there's nobody else like him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
That was wrapped in store.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
That's a tough one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
I cannot remember off the top of my head one singular Dave Hyde impact column that had anywhere near the impact of Trade Marino. I mean, it's on our wall.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
This feels like a seven-game series to me. I don't know what that means for tonight. They're going to play a seven-game after the Panthers have already clinched it in six? I think... That this goes seven. Unprecedented! That's what I feel strongly about. I think this is a seven game series.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
Chris, did you feel that way? You know, like I said yesterday, I feel nothing anymore. But I did receive a lot of texts yesterday. Really?

Hour 1: Thank You, Tony Reali
I decided to use it throughout the show, setting the tone for future Halloween episodes forever. Only one panelist spent, where am I? Spent seven hours doing fake tattoos on my body, becoming Conor McGregor and doing an Irish accent that I'd only practiced on the drive over there, okay? All of this was accomplished because I did it and I was on that show.

And it just made me realize that I just, I grew up on the show. I grew up because of you and because of everybody else. And we're, you know, we're going to miss out on that. There's a lot of people that, you know, even at our age who still watch the show religiously and are going to miss what you sort of created and sort of bonding everybody together there.

Hour 2: Stugotz Issues An Apology
Do you ever have people come up to you and they ask if you're who you are and you say no? I had someone come up to me and be like, are you Lucy? And then he was like, actually, Lucy's a lot taller than you are. And I was like, yeah, I'm not her, but I do get that all the time. And then he kept talking to me about me and he was like, yeah, she's like several inches taller than you are.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz Issues An Apology
And I said, yeah, I've never met her, I don't know. And then eventually someone came up and called me Lucy and he was like, are you serious? And I was like, oh, yeah, gotcha.

Hour 2: Stugotz Issues An Apology
It's very easy to explain. Have you guys seen the hats that are like the upside down letters? They're very popular right now and I think they're very cool and I want to buy one. But I have a feeling that in like three months they're going to be so out. It's kind of dumb. I'm not going to lie, Lucy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Ich bin nicht der Einzige, der Haare besser sieht, wenn es dreckig ist. Yeah, day two. That's my best look.

That is how I judge an airport, the food situation. I like to take a good lap, even if my gate's to the left, I'm walking right. I gotta see what they got to offer. And then you walk over there and it's just like a zone of fresca. It's like, god damn it. Very disappointing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: An Hour About a Team That's About To Be 5-6
Das ist das Team. Die Defense war die Erklärung gestern Abend. Wenn diese Defense so spielen kann, wie sie es gegen einen heiligen Rams-Offense macht. Aikman sagte gestern Abend, dass das der beste Passing-Offense ist. Die Dolphins haben sich die ganze Saison verfolgt. Und sie sahen gut aus. Wie er sagte, Seeler war zurück, Javon Holland war zurück. Ich bin mit dir, Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: An Hour About a Team That's About To Be 5-6
Das ist nicht ein Superbowl-Team, aber ich bin in Ordnung mit dem 7er-Sieger zu sein und einen Playoffspot zu kämpfen, auch wenn man das Spiel verliert. Es ist besser als nur die Playoffs zu verlieren.

I'm just saying, they technically kept their season alive last night. I really think that's all any of us are saying.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: An Hour About a Team That's About To Be 5-6
I just, I mean, after the next, there's two games that are easy and then it gets tough again. But it's just, I'm not ready to quit on this team yet. I'm just not ready to quit on this team. But the macro, Dan, it is sad that last year we felt like we had arrived. The Dolphins are a good team now. And we're a year later and we're back to just being middle of the road. So I'm with you on the macro.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: An Hour About a Team That's About To Be 5-6
This is a middle. Your starting quarterback missed four games. This is like, Das ist ein mittleres Team, talentweit. Das ist nicht einer der schlimmsten Roster in der Liga. Aber zu deinem Punkt, das ist der letzte Ort, wo du direkt im Mitteln sein willst. Es ist einfach traurig, dass wir aus einem guten Team zurückgehen, zu einem mittleren Team. Und das ist traurig.

Tua, hör mir an. Wenn du einen Interzeption schießt, sitzt du auf dem Feld und trinkst Apfelsauce. Das machst du sofort. Du gehst nicht nach dem Spiel, wo auch immer du auf dem Feld bist, sitzt du auf dem Feld und trinkst Apfelsauce. Das ist ein lustiges Visual von Tua, in der Mitte des Spiels einen Interzeption zu schießen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: An Hour About a Team That's About To Be 5-6
Er ist die letzte Linie der Defense. Er geht durch die Seite. Nein, er ist nicht. Es waren so viele Dolphins. Der 72er ist gerade da. Ich sage dir das.

I know in this shot Armstead's there, but there's a shot when he's approaching where Tua is the last guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: An Hour About a Team That's About To Be 5-6
I'm just saying, it would have been an odd look if Tua was just like, oop, and he got out of the way and let the guy go down the field.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: An Hour About a Team That's About To Be 5-6

Hour 1: I'm Not Gonna Contribute to Your Foolishness (Feat. Kobie Turner)
I won't believe the committee didn't put Alabama in until those games start. I want to rub my face. Feels pretty good. If you bet on James Franklin in a big game, you have nobody but yourself to blame. Well, who else would you blame if you were the one making the bet? James Franklin. Okay. I mean, I do it all the time. I bet on James Franklin. He loses. I yell at James Franklin.

Bryce Young has mastered the game-winning drive that doesn't actually win you the game. He leaves just enough time on the clock for the other quarterback to come out and get the victory. It's amazing. He wins while losing. He's unbelievable. They should surround him with some talents. I'm happy for Bryce Young, aren't you?

Hour 1: I'm Not Gonna Contribute to Your Foolishness (Feat. Kobie Turner)

Hour 1: I'm Not Gonna Contribute to Your Foolishness (Feat. Kobie Turner)
Texas, Georgia, the rare game with two backups who are better than the two starters. Dan, if you listen carefully, you can hear Bill Belichick sniffing around. He's got a big schnoz. A 72-year-old Bill Belichick. You can't fault Carolina for trying to get younger. Chapel Hill, more like Chapel Bill. If Belichick coaches Carolina, I fully expect Matt Castle to be the backup quarterback.

Josh McDaniels, UNC offensive coordinator, collision course. The Chiefs can't keep getting away with it. If there's a way to win, the Chiefs will find it. Jameis Winston giveth, Jameis Winston taketh. Dan, that big sigh of relief you heard over the weekend. Was every team in the playoff realizing they don't have to do it against Alabama? I can't decide if I like a 12-team playoff.

Hour 1: I'm Not Gonna Contribute to Your Foolishness (Feat. Kobie Turner)
Losing a conference championship game is supposed to end your season. I didn't like it. I don't like Championship Weekend. I mean, the whole thing's a mess. I have no idea who's who, who's playing who, what team is in what conference. I have no idea. This is confusing. College football used to be easy. If you lose, lose early. Otherwise, don't lose at all.

Juan Soto. Good luck without the short porch. Taylor. Want Soda. Have fun. When it isn't Aaron Judge behind you anymore. And it's Mark Ventius. Taylor.

Wenn du den Tank versuchst, wird es nicht viel besser werden als Drew Lock.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: I'm Not Gonna Contribute to Your Foolishness (Feat. Kobie Turner)
Es gibt keinen anderen, der als Quarterback spielt, der das so gut wie Drew Lock macht. Tua ist 6-0 gegen die Jets. Weißt du, was das bedeutet, oder, Dan? He has their number. Now that I'm thinking about it, Drew Locke should hold out. Drew Locke is as important to a team trying to tank as Joe Burrow is to a team trying to win. How about that? A tanking quarterback. A new position. TQB. Oh man.

82 points in a Big Ten Championship game. Just feels wrong. It really does. I can't see Puka Nakua without singing Greg Cody's song. I can't. Me neither. I thought I was the only one. Kirby Smart, remember when you said everyone forgot about you and nobody believed in you. That was cute.

Arizona State wins the Big 12, Oregon wins the Big 10, and yet the Pac-12 was the conference that got dismantled. Pittsburgh Steelers lead the NFL in grit. Taylor Heineke is a charger. The Green Lizard, New York Jets, that's how you lose a game. Well done. Show me one person who thinks SMU would beat Alabama, and I'll show you a liar. No one thinks that.

Juan Soto turned down 440 million, only to sign for 765 million. You know what he did, Dano? I do not. He bet on himself.

Dan, dieses Spiel ist mehr als nur ein Spiel. Dieses Spiel ist eine Begegnung von Ehre, Dienst und Einheit, die zwischen zwei Teams gespielt wird, die einen Tag nach vorne stehen werden, um diese große Nation zu verteidigen. This game is so big, it gets its own weekend. Triple options, mutual respect, an iconic flyover that will send chills down your spine.

He said he wasn't doing it, and now he's doing it. Well, he sees someone who's not an expert. He's like, I gotta show him how. Show him the ropes. I'm just learning. Tariq Hill, good to see you again. Arch Manning wins that game. Army, Navy, no losers, Dan. Just winners. I still believe there's a chance for Alabama to get in.

There's actually three. It's a tier system. It's the bath towel that's the big one. Then it's like a face towel that's a medium one. And then there's the hand towel that sits on top of all three.

But I do have a pair. So at home I have flip-flops that are designated just for when I'm coming in and out of the shower. And here I have slides that I pack in my Tupperware boxes. Is there a surface you'd prefer your shower floor to be? I mean, I like a stand-in shower. By the way, I don't like tubs. What's that good floor? I don't like tub showers. I like a walk-in shower.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

But yeah, so I guess in that way, I guess I would prefer the tile over the smoothness of a tub, which is just, oh, that's so gross.

Beno Udre. He got Beno Udre to just lower the – the guarantee on his deal in order to get under?

Hour 2: David Samson's Rules For Using The Bathroom
Close, I would say it's the second round pick in the cash that they squeezed out of him. They got another little draft asset and some money out of it as opposed to just a player for player or maybe a little bit of money.

Earlier, Izzy said, sometimes I don't want to make sound. This typically doesn't happen when I'm at home, but sometimes when I'm at someone's house,

I do want to do the silent P so I can aim it at the exact angle where it won't make much of a sound, but also it reduces splash because it reduces. It does not eliminate. Yes, it's true. That's true. There is a little bit of trickle, but a lot of it gets caught up under the rim, which is the whole point of the aim.

You don't trust your own shower? I could have the shower have been built and installed. I'm the first person to use it and was cleaned and everything. The feeling of my bare foot against tub or tile. disgusts me. Oh, I'm with you here. It disgusts me. Do you pee in the shower? What? No, I don't. Even though Costanza says it's all pipes.

Look, if you've watched the games, you recognize this guy as a talent. He is exactly what Luka needs. There are plenty of people who I believe have been wasting their careers in Charlotte, and he is early one of them. I'm glad he's gone somewhere else. But unless you think Dalton Connect is going to be, I don't know, even J.J.

Redick or some sort of, you know, laser of a 2-3 combo guard or small forward. I don't think you overpaid for that. The Lakers are one of those teams where picks don't matter. It's just like the Miami Heat. Picks don't matter. I'm going to be good all the time.

Is Pat Riley eventually going to land Kevin Durant?

I will not hear Mickey Harrison hatred because somehow he's been able to own a team and still be fiscally responsible while allowing Pat Riley to do his thing for 30 years. And they've been relevant for a long time. So maybe he's doing it right.

So Cortez, can you speak for Heat fans then? And how do we look back on this Jimmy Butler era? Do we feel bad for Jimmy Butler on the way out because it doesn't seem like he'll be embraced as much? Or is this kind of the bed that he made?

I just want to say this one line. If you would have said to Mario Cristobal at the beginning of the year, okay, here's what you got to do. Only two games matter. Georgia Tech-Syracuse, you got to win one. You do it, you're in the playoff. You take that, Mario? He would say, hell yeah, and if I don't win one of those, I don't deserve to be in. He would have said that. And now that's what happened.

So all the games in the future are embarrassing. How about that? I hope not. What about the opposite end of the spectrum? When you guys are as happy, the biggest touchdown you've ever been around each other. Is it like a chest bump?

Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
But I think the more he is out there and just puts himself out there and is vulnerable and for whatever missteps he takes, somebody has to be critical of him. Right. You can't just let him walk past and be like, OK, because then he'll never mature. So, yes, I think they're afraid. But I also think they're sort of confident that maybe he grows up and doesn't make any huge mistakes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
And this is the worst of Anthony Edwards.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
He's like, oh, no, yeah, I'm him. That's cool. And this is what I'm saying about, like, sort of watching him grow. And the league being sort of on eggshells, maybe on pins and needles, but confident that he will grow. Because, like... What are we talking about here? What are the things that he's done?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
He's done the one thing where he sort of decided to videotape a line of what appeared to be gay men going into a club and saying, what does the world come to, right? I think Tony had touched upon it earlier that there's a conversation, hey, he probably has too many kids from multiple women, if that's the case. I don't even know all the details there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
And then this personality thing where you're talking about, hey, my blank is bigger than yours. Are these all things that we...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
think somebody is going to continue to do as they grow into their late 20s and early 30s or are we saying okay we're putting the spotlight on him he is authentic authentically himself from the beginning which is not what john morant is john morant was a little bit more through some closed doors you have to like figure out who he is anthony edwards is showing you who he is and the league is basically saying oh we might be gritting our teeth through some of it but we're confident he will mature past this
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
Which is why I'm saying people have to be critical. They have to call him out on things. I don't think this is one of the things to be critical of. To go outside and be a man of the people with the enemy's fans right there,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
old-fashioned fun go 15 of 19 from the field hey hey anthony edwards do it after a win that you haven't gone over for 11 he cost him the game but they won how much do you think it kills luca that rudy gobert took him out like rudy gobert absolutely killed in that game and luca's sitting there holding his back like ah

very far away this is what they call a make or miss league right this is what they mean you make them you're a hero in new york you miss them and they call you a coward in minnesota like it if he misses these shots it's oh here goes cat again scared of the moment because he's taking long distance shots which are bailout shots let's be honest right and he's making them now now he looks like a clutch player before or if he misses them it's oh wow

Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
What a bailout shot. What a terrible clutch player Cat is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
Like, if you are in multiple playoff series where you are somebody who is relied upon often, you're going to get past some of those nerves. Like, those things were obvious in Minnesota. It wasn't just the shots that he was taking or wasn't taking. It was the fouls. He was constantly fouling and just terrible reach-ins and things that you realize maybe a first or second year player would do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
He was doing in the postseason. Not happening as much now as in New York, Nick. Of course, he's gotten more tough and more calloused by everything that's happened around him. I don't love the fact that people mock how he talks because I guarantee in his head that's something that is just I mean, he did an interview with me where he lowered his voice because he didn't want to be mocked.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
So I think you're just calloused. You're just toughened. And he is now just playing a little bit more freely. Let's get a couple of rounds in. If they continue to win, see how free he plays, because I think the nerves will come back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
There was a post-game pressure last season with him and Anthony Towns, I believe in the post-season. Who and Anthony Towns? Carl Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards, excuse me. A couple of Anthony's cutting it up. Well done. And somebody said, after all that. And then Anthony Edwards mockingly said in the Carl Anthony Towns voice, after all that. And they kind of laughed about it together.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
And I looked at Carl Anthony Towns and that dude was in hell. Like, he had to just laugh off, ha ha ha, I get it, you're making fun of me, that's funny, I sounded crazy. He doesn't sound crazy in his mind, he's just talking. But he has to laugh about it, laugh it off.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
There was another player recently that just did an entire, a podcast guest, did an entire bit as Karl-Anthony Towns in this super feminine voice, and it's just like, can't we talk about something else? Like, do we have to make fun of the way this guy talks?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
But that is the way to celebrate when you take out an opponent on the road floor. Just go outside. Just go outside and celebrate. Like, give me all the tears right here. I didn't see a ton of security around them. Like, there could have been a lot of fans that went up to him. He just wanted all the smoke, and I love it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
I mean, that's definitely security slash friend.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rally Monkey's Tiny Uniform
Yeah, he's he's effectively telling everybody, hey, I'm going to grow up in front of your eyes. I'm not going to hold back, not going to do it behind closed doors.

second round series for them this season assuming they can get past it is because you know the same round they got knocked out last year doing it against the only one left right because the jason tatum being out you can't really go heart of a champion when they're missing their best player so really the heart of a champion team and in the denver nuggets and this was an interesting part about that last game uh game five which i still think this game can go the series can go seven but i

Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
It was a point there in the fourth quarter where it felt like, all right, if this keeps going this way, Oklahoma City is going to have a lot of explaining to do. Like maybe Shea's overrated. Maybe the supporting cast is overrated because neither one of them were overwhelming in any sort of way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
In a way that you say for certain, hey, in the playoffs against the best of teams, this is how we're going to win. And then they went and did it. Like the second half of that fourth quarter, it was Shea doing it. And it was, you know, other guys hitting threes with Lou Dorton and a couple other guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
But for the most part, they reminded themselves or told themselves, hey, if we go to what we know works in the playoffs, it still works. It might not work every time, but it's going to work enough for us to win four out of seven.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
And I thought that was so critical, such a huge game for them, for their continued growth in game five, that if they win this series, yeah, I absolutely have them as a favorite.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
I think, look, if you switch teams, Shea Gilgis-Alexander and Anthony Edwards, Oklahoma City Thunder would be the most popular team in the world. I think it's just a matter of playing style. And it's nothing against Shea. You don't like Shea. He's a hooper's hooper, man. I admire him. It's just not like I'm not going to sit down and just watch his game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Holy cow, that's going to be crazy.

Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
What would that look like? I see an edit where the Wolves win and they're tossing him the Larry O'Brien trophy. And he's like, ah, yeah, thanks, guys. Look, that's one of the, I would say the league definitely wants the New York Knicks in any capacity to get to the finals because every other combination, you're just like, hmm, we don't like small towns apparently.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
But yeah, this is what I love about the NBA right now is like growing up, and I say growing up, I mean all the way up until that was about. 38 roughly. It was very predictable. Like you could probably pick four or five teams and say for certain that's going to be the final four of those five teams are going to be in the final four. Now you don't even know who the champion is going to be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
And I love that. And I love to be able to dissect what that champion did to become that because they separated themselves somehow. It wasn't just talent. Like I mentioned the 2022 warriors again, that's a team. They were not the most talented team that year. They knew how to win. They were healthy when it mattered.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
And so if you start combining those formulas every single year, it's just like, hey, the playoffs are just going to be, you don't really know. And that's what I love about it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
You know what this reminds me of, Juju? It reminds me of the 2019 Warriors, right? They had so many deep runs into the playoffs and then they just physically were falling apart. KD, Klay Thompson. And they had to take a step back, the Warriors as a whole. Yes, KD left. And, you know, with this team, maybe you move on from Jalen Brown.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
Maybe you don't, but you can still sort of it's not it's like a breather. It's a little bit of a reset. Yeah, you do a little change a couple of pieces here and there, but know that your main guys effectively need like a year to breathe like that's what it is need a year to like take off the.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
the championship pressures and physically to take off the physical pressures and then sort of reset, sort of come back refreshed in 26 and see, you know, maybe a couple of new pieces, but they know the formula can get them championships the same way the Warriors did. And, you know, they came back and won it in 2022 with different pieces around Stefan Draymond and Clay.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
Really? You don't think that his uniqueness is enough to want them to keep him to stay and maybe let him stay? Maybe he plays 70 games next year?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
Well, look, we've known this. Look, if he would have done that in a Miami uniform this year, everybody would have said, look, he's not trying. He's clearly trying to get out of here. Okay. And I don't really care if you're telling me he had an illness. He's on the floor. He looks okay. You know what I'm saying? If you're going to tell me his butt was hurting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
I'm pretty sure I can shoot you up and you'll be fine. Like, it wasn't just that he wasn't doing, when he was dribbling, he wasn't looking to score half the time. He was just kind of going to the middle of the floor and just looking around and trying to find somebody.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
And I told people when he got there in San Francisco, there's going to be at least a dozen times where you're going to scratch your head and be like, why didn't you take that shot as you were flying by the rim? You're not even looking at it. If he was Ben Simmons, you would say something's wrong with that dude. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
So the idea that there's nothing, nobody would have said anything to him if he went out there and took 40 shots, even if he went 10 for 40, it would be like, damn, he went out shooting his bullets and you know, we ended up where we ended up, but he was just sitting there like almost as if he was trying to make a point. Sometimes I'm running offense. Can't do anything without Steph Curry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
And like, I don't know if that's how he was thinking. My guess is, yeah, he wanted to win, but he just wasn't showing it. And so it's one of those situations where, uh, My eyes aren't lying to me. I know when people are really taking ownership and accountability and trying their hardest to win, it didn't feel like he was taking ownership. Not at all.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
I mean, if he goes 10 for 40, good defense. He tried. You know what I'm saying? Like, I get it was good defense, but Jimmy seemed good defense. Jimmy was the number one option at the Miami Heat. He's seen people, you know, scheming for him defensively in the playoffs, and he still put a 50 against the Bucs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
But okay, my counter to that is, was it great defense that was making him just walk to the free throw line and look around? Was that great defense? Because I didn't see him attack the defense.

Well, it actually is probably the most fair criticism of Steve Kerr, not specifically with Kaminga, but that when he doesn't find players that are, not seamlessly, but work into his offense, doesn't know what to do with them. And I don't know if that's true or not. We have to wait and see.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
If Kaminga goes somewhere else and realizes that he's not a great basketball IQ guy, maybe doesn't really have a whole lot in his bag, that maybe he's just a piece that in the regular season you can play and in the playoffs you can't trust, we don't know that yet. But I will say that was the most commonly heard critique of Steve Kerr.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
I think what people don't see with the Pacers is defensively. They can be really good. Like they play so fast. And, you know, Tyrese Halliburton out there, probably the weakest defender of the group.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
But with Miles Turner in the middle, Andrew Nembhard playing, Pascal Siakam, like they have a very strong defense that if you don't keep up with them and they start going on a little streak, like all of a sudden it's a 15 point, 20 point game. Like they have a little bit of that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
old Phoenix Suns team in them where you look up in the first quarter, it could be 45 to 20, and you just don't know what happened.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
Imagine us with him. We're all about vibes here. I did want to talk about Miles Turner because a few years ago, he was so frustrated, man. The Pacers were just absolutely middle of the pack to bad. His people were talking to anybody saying, hey.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
He's asking, his people are just wondering, why is he so underrated? Can we get him somewhere else? Maybe get him some attention. I'm just like, that's a
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop 10 | Tatum’s Achilles & OKC Is The Perfect Team w/ Amin & Izzy
great question i don't know the answer to that i'm not a gm and then um now he's getting his due right he's getting he's not only is he playing well and they're winning but you realize man this dude is long can move can shoot can block shots a great modern day big whereas before you didn't really know what to do or say with miles turner so shout out to miles for sticking in there and getting his due eventually

My pleasure, man. I know I've been in your spot. I'm always in your spot, so I know it's helpful to just talk about it.

ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
If you're listening to this, you deserve a Modelo. Because you're not just listening to a podcast, you're studying, sharpening your skills all season. You don't just watch college basketball, you live it. You have the dedication of a full-time fan, so you deserve the beer of a full-time fan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
Yeah, let's get this out of the way real quick, because somebody on the reels today I saw called it a squirmish. And I said to myself, oh, wait a second. It's always called a skirmish, but is it spelled squirmish, S-Q-U-I? And so I did all the looking up and it was like, no, people just sometimes people do spell it squirmish. Skirmish, but pronounce it skirmish.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
And apparently that's allowed because it's like a nonce word or something. I don't know, but just know it's pronounced skirmish no matter how you spell it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
Ah, loser, yes. It's just a description.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
They already were this team. And I'll tell you, it's just because of Isaiah Stewart, in my opinion, beef stew, as they call him. Because if you remember back when they played the Warriors recently, he actually got Steph Curry to do like a double take like and stare down.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
One, you've seen over the course of these six years with this core of players what they can be when they're healthy and they look good, right? Like, they're not 100% healthy. Obviously, Ja has missed like 30 games. They have been significantly worse since the All-Star break.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
Right. Right. There's not that many people that can do that and say the right things to Steph Curry or even want to, you know, poke the bear, if you will. And this one, it wasn't even his fight, really. He just came in. And if you show that that image of him, like he left the floor, like pointing at his Detroit jersey, like saying, this is us, like, do not mess with us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
And I do think that this whole idea that they are this, you know, young, lovable team. That's great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
But this Isaiah Stewart tells me that they're tough and maybe the bad boys are back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
they could be a contender in the Eastern Conference. Like, they could just be young, the combination of young and dumb enough and tough enough to surprise somebody. Because let's think about it for a second. You're the Boston Celtics, right? Who did the Boston Celtics really beat in the Eastern Conference last year? I'll help you out. Nobody. Okay, nobody.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
So if they run into a tough opponent in the second round that's pushing back on them and can score the way this Pistons team can score, I don't know. I think they got shot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
It reminds me of the team of Dwayne Wade's rookie year, where he was the star, even though they didn't really know it as much. Cade is leading the way, and it's just a quality group around him that can play today's basketball. Didn't they lose to that Heat team losing the first round? Second round. Second round to the Indiana Pacers in six games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
And that was a Pacers team that was supposed to go far in those playoffs. I'm not saying that that team was a contender necessarily. I'm just saying it reminds me of that team. And if they would have beat the Pacers, wouldn't have been that crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
And I think when you've had a coach for as long as he's been there, when you've seen the ups, you've seen the downs, you kind of notice when it's not going to cycle back. to be a winning team again, to be at their peak.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
I mean, if they're completely healthy, I'm going to say the Knicks, because as you said, they've been there. We've seen it happen. But Pistons are right there, if not overtaking them, if you just look at the last half of the season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
I mean, anything that involves Draymond Green is a possibility. It feels like Centel next time because I don't think he is purposely, this time, because I don't think he is purposely going after Rudy Gobert by proxy at this point. So, yeah, I'm going to go Centel on this one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
And if you look at their top six guys, really their top seven guys these days, if you include Scottie Pippen Jr., every single one of them have only known one coach, and that's Taylor Jenkins. Except for Triple J, his first year he had J.B. Bickerstaff. Everybody else, only Taylor Jenkins. So you kind of get the feeling of when, hey, this might turn around.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
it feels like it should be fake, but I've heard Doc Rivers say this or seen him say this now, not once, but twice, which is, I mean, it's odd that he's going to hang up a banner that says never been swept. I think that was a, that's something that probably should look into when he retires, but man, like the, I guess the,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
just inability the lack of awareness here just to say this again not just once but twice because he's been he's talked about this before um it's it's a little embarrassing and yeah i think if you go into doc river's impression it's probably the best way to answer this
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
All right. Did I tell you which one? You know, the first one I got got with, right, which is the quote from Anthony Edwards. It said, feels like Julius Randall's playing in jeans.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
That one seemed pretty real. I got got on that one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
Well, I mean... If he were to chime in and he did say that, he would be probably lying, right? Because he grew up when his dad was winning MVPs. And there's a couple of them that people think, a couple more that people think should have gone to him and shouldn't have gone to somebody else like Derrick Rose. And so, yeah, he didn't grow up in an era where the best player got the MVP.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
So I'm going to say this is Centel. I think Bronny would have been all over the place if he said this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
This is me doing the Will Ferrell meme where he's super pumped, but not doing it very well. I need to be in a robe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
Maybe they'll turn it up right before the playoffs. And when you think about, you know, John Morant reportedly not being in love with the offense and seeing how they've fallen off the last couple of weeks or a few weeks, especially defensively, which is the place where you look at mostly where guys are getting coached up. It's when you look at it, it kind of doesn't seem so crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
I like two teams. I like the Bulls and I think I like the Rockets. But shocking. The Bulls, I think just staying close within 15, even if they're getting blown out, might be able to score some points and just kind of keep it close. I think Rockets, Lakers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
I know the Rockets are on a back to back here and the Lakers are desperate, but the Rockets have just been cleaning up and the defense has been spectacular. I don't see the Lakers doing much with that defense.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
All right. Let's put our money on the Chicago Bulls.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
Like you're going to an assistant coach that might have a different version of the offense you're already running. And maybe it'll be the best. Maybe it'll be the honeymoon period during the playoffs. And, and you, you know, you get the best of this team because it didn't seem like they were going to go much further than they'd already gone with Taylor Jenkins.

But that also helps out with the timeline, though. I mean, right? Sort of explaining it, right? Because it's like, hey, here's your chance. We need to know what this is going to look like. And as they got further into the season, looked worse and worse. Like, I don't know from the outside looking in, I don't know necessarily who was a Taylor Jenkins guy and who wasn't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
But just based on the quotes, seemed like Jaron Jackson Jr. was definitely one. But John Moran certainly was not. Seemed like he got out of bed. He said he was in bed. Saw the quote. Huh. Surprised me. That's pretty much what the extent of his quote. Not, hey, I really love that guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
Let me say this, though. Whoever came up with the offense, I believe it was one of the coaches he was fired with just now. He came up with it as a model after a Division III school. Listen, man, if you're telling me if I'm an NBA front office decision maker and you are telling me you're going to devise an offense based on something that you saw with Division III something or other,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
no thank you man i i don't want any of that not only do i not think it's going to work but you're going to tell your players that and they're going to be like why why do we need some division three gimmicky offense and just to answer your last question there in terms of like what does it mean like if they get the best out of their team with this new assistant code or with this new coach what's that going to mean is that going to mean title contention not necessarily but if they make a western conference finals
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
If they go to a game seven in a second round, as opposed to flaming out in the first round, which a lot of people assume they might have done under Taylor Jenkins, that's enough confirmation for them that they made the right move. I'm not saying that that's what's going to happen, but this isn't one of those championship or bust type of scenarios.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
It's let's just see in these playoffs, because we know what it looked like under Taylor. Let's see what it looks like with this guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
Well, and the other thing is, is like the the idea. You're right. The idea of that offense was they weren't running as many pick and rolls, even though like somebody like Zach Eady drafted number nine. He says out loud, hey, I love pick and roll offense and they do less of it. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
And, you know, the idea is that they draft him so they can punish small ball teams instead of just take them out and do the traditional thing. It doesn't seem like they were aligned on a lot of things. And so I wonder if it was something of, you know, they were just waiting for this opportunity, right? Because they've been, you know, they've been up and down all season long.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
They've been dancing around the two seat for a while. Maybe it's now they're just like, all right, we've seen enough. It was never going to work. You're not doing what we asked you to do anyway. Let's let's use this assistant coach. He might put a couple new wrinkles in the offense. And so people won't complain as much. But yeah, you weren't doing what we asked anyway.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
I don't think this puts him in the coach killer category because, again, you've had six years with Taylor. I think if anything was going to sort of force him out of Memphis, it was last year and it was everything around that. And so I don't know if this in itself is that telling. I will say that In the games that he missed, they were basically hovering above 500.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
And so I don't think that is very encouraging if you're the Grizzlies and say, hey, we can move on from Ja whenever we want. I still think they consider him and Triple J as franchise cornerstones.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
ODDBALL - Ja Morant and the Grizzlies Lose Their Head (Coach)
Definitely not. I think I was sort of still getting over the Lakers and Bulls, just taking all the madness from Marcher themselves with the finish of that game. And then I'm sort of getting the Taylor Jenkins news. And it's just... It's weird for a few reasons.

Oh, I've got to get rid of him now? Nobody thought I could even get him.

Because, look, it's a new year. I've got to get these things out, okay? The idea. Happy new anus. I will take one, by the way, if you're offering. I mean, a new body part, why not? You want a trade? Ooh, no, I'd need a brand new one. Brand new one, not used, please. But this full circle moment for Jimmy Butler, like, I don't understand how Jimmy checkmated Pat Riley.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
No one wants my anus. Is he? Is he? At 47 years old, Dan, I don't care what body part you offer me, I'll take a new one. If it starts with the... Then that's where it starts, okay? But I don't understand how Jimmy Butler checkmated Pat Riley when this is very much a full circle moment here for Jimmy Butler. The Warriors will not trade Andrew Wiggins for him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
Karl-Anthony Towns is dominating in New York, and Jimmy can't find a team. And I don't even think this is about leverage, because the Warriors did not want to trade Kaminga and Wiggins for Jimmy before all of this mess, and now it just shows you that Jimmy overachieved here, Pat Riley and the Heat overachieved here, and now it's breakup time. Oh well. But what about Barry?

The Big Suey: Stories From An NFL Shower
I don't understand how it's taken this long for somebody to bring this up. It's such an obvious void that's been there. It is the one area of that sport that doesn't get rewarded. Everything else can be. Even in college, do they have that at the Home Depot Awards? They have Outland. Now it's interior lineman, right? So in the NFL, absolutely. It's an entirely different situation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Stories From An NFL Shower
And please stop doing that to Jokic. If an offensive lineman could throw the ball, catch the ball, intercept the ball, then I would maybe make that comparison.

I don't think so. I think more people I mean, me personally, I think, yes, obviously you should have run the ball. I don't think that, you know, diminishes everything that he did. It's also was a great play. It was a great play by Malcolm Butler.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Stories From An NFL Shower
He was already the oldest coach when he was coaching, right? He's got to be in his late 70s. I would guess 73.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Stories From An NFL Shower
I don't think you understand how water works, right? This actually happened to me. When I was doing this, and everybody was in the sauna and still could see me, I went from the sauna... to the cold plunge, to the whirlpool, without showering in between, right? I showered before.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Stories From An NFL Shower
And then I had this, I want to say German gentleman, could have been Austrian, come up to me as I was in the whirlpool, while other people were kind of standing around, sort of carrying me, saying, excuse me, next time, if you could please take a shower. I was like, well, thank you. One of the people who work here never told me to do that. I took a shower beforehand.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Stories From An NFL Shower
And also, I'm not sure you know how sweat works. Because it's not like it just comes out dirty. And if I get into the whirlpool, I'm going to sweat anyway, whether I took a shower or not. Sorry, I'm just taking it out on this dude. You know what?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Stories From An NFL Shower
But we're all in this shared space supposedly clean beforehand. Again, this is a matter of not knowing how pores work. Okay, so you showered before you got in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Can we put that sign on the door? What if I cover them with my hands?

I just want to remind people, I was not doing this in an NFL locker room.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Stories From An NFL Shower
It is such a simple ask. Like in every gym you go to, right, there's walls between showers. I would argue I want full walls between urinals.

For the record, I did not give Dan this list of questions.

It would make sense it would be offensive lineman, because defensive lineman can be, defensive players of the year, offensive lineman would never.

Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
He's got to take clothes off for that, right? You don't want him sweating in his clothes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
Last time I was there, I was in Europe. Everybody was nude. It's a thing. Okay, I don't do saunas.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
Do you wear the nipple covers on there?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
We were in this very group sauna situation. We do aromatherapy and stuff and there's just a lot of people in there. And right outside the sauna, the walls are glass, is a cold plunge pool and a hot tub, right? Yeah. I like saunas. They're very helpful health-wise. But for some reason, this sauna was burning my nose after like 12 minutes. I had to get out of there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
I got out of there, and I went into the cold plunge pool completely naked, came out of the cold plunge pool, and everybody in the sauna was clearly facing my direction. And I'm just like, man, if I were less cold than this, I'd be worried about shrinkage and stuff. Nah, it's freezing. I'm getting into that hot tub.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
And it's not just that. It's the elements of everybody else's game that you've seen these highlights of over the years. It's Magic Johnson, no look, perfect, over the head, bounce passes, which you don't ever see. When we go back and we look at these highlights 20, 30 years from now, we're going to be more odd somehow than we are now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
And I still argue, I said this on The Shadow Show, part of it is he's playing in Denver because if he was playing somewhere in Southern California, New York, Chicago, wherever else, you would probably speak highly, more highly of him, even more so. I think, as you said, in terms of the boredom of MVP voters,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
If they give this to Shea Gildress Alexander, which I believe the voters will do, and they have their sort of classic reasons as to why, I think it's one of the worst case, would be, one of the worst case of voter fatigue for an MVP than I've ever seen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
Because I was going to make this argument about winners in the NFL anyway, right? Winners do the boring stuff over and over and over again. The things that they know are going to win. And not everybody does that. Jokic does whatever it takes to win. He's so bored by it. He's like, oh, it's a double team. Okay, fine. It's just obvious. It comes to him so easily.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
And then the skill with all that shot making is incredible. And yeah, of course he's playing the best basketball of his career, shooting 47% from three to make up for Russell Westbrook, who doesn't bring any floor spacing there. It's absolutely crazy. And I'm telling you, you will be more impressed by this 20 years from now than you are now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
Well, that's another thing. I think as opposed to sort of the thing we did to Peyton Manning, the things we did to Aaron Rodgers, hey, you need to win another one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
I'm of the opinion that if Jokic doesn't win two or more championships, all of his teammates are going to live the rest of their lives regretting that they didn't do it for him, thinking of themselves as failures because how good do you have to be as the leader of the team?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
But we're arguing, or you're arguing that Nicole Jokic is doing the equivalent of three-yard dump-offs every time, and he's not. He's doing what you say Patrick Mahomes does, figures out everything the defense throws at him, and sometimes it's spectacular.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
It's a leviton siren.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
Technically, I brought him up. I was the one who said he was boring, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
Can't I make the argument, though, that they had specific skills, not as Dan is saying, not complete wide receivers, not great wide receivers, where their amazing quarterbacks are taking advantage of those specific skills. And so I'm with Dan here. Like Xavier Worthy, he's fast. Yes, he's not a complete receiver yet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
I will take advantage of what he can do because I'm that offense and I'm Patrick Mahomes. Same thing with Josh Allen. I don't need a stud wide receiver. I can buy enough time out there to just let anybody get open and make that person get a bunch of yards. It's the quarterbacks taking advantage of those guys, no?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
Aren't we making the same argument for different positions, right? What I'm saying is a great quarterback will make a system receiver into being pretty good, right? Into being a good, productive receiver. And you're saying a good receiver, A.J. Brown, can make a quarterback better like Jalen Hurts because we see Jalen Hurts doesn't have the skill set as these other quarterbacks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
I mean, if you think about Aaron Gordon, what he was supposed to be in Orlando, like you mentioned, and what he sort of settled into as effectively, in my opinion, the best role player in the league, that's almost a gift, right? You're getting a guy who is supposed to be a star, and it's like, no, no, it's almost like Amari Cooper.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
I'm okay playing this role, and so he's an elite role player, right? The other guys that won a championship with it anyway, KCP is an elite defender in the perimeter and a really good shooter. So it was almost a great opportunity. perfect fit around Jokic. But I think what we're seeing now is that, yeah, he can adjust to whatever teammates he has.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
He and Russell Westbrook are making magic out there sometimes. And so, yes, if you put him on the Detroit Pistons, as long as there's some level of balance there, it's not just a bunch of Jalen Durans around him, then they will absolutely be top
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
I think absolutely. And I think that's part of the gift. That's part of the brilliance of Jokic is he makes everybody else better. Like Cade Cunningham, I like him. He's, you know, last year with bad teammates and a worse coach was not doing very well. That's where I formed that opinion on him. This year looks a lot better. Still has a bunch of turnovers, but he is not elevating everybody, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
There's actually just better players around him, Tobias Harris and whatnot. But I think with Nicola Jokic, he would make everybody around him better, and that's just something that you can't really measure.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
I mean, he changed the whole way people thought of the NBA. They thought you have to win with a big guy. Now you have to win with this. Now you can win with a guard. But I'm with Mike here. Like when he was losing to the Pistons, there was still that conversation of, oh, yeah, he doesn't pass the ball. He can't be the best player in the league, right? Total ball hog.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
Like the first three-peat where they're just like, wow, this is incredible. I don't think anybody's done this before. And it's a small guard doing it. Best player ever. So 94?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
Well, how do you define what's a better offensive player?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
Just because he doesn't take guys off the dribble and pull up on them like Michael Jordan does.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
Not yet, but you've seen what he's doing. You talk about a mythological figure. He will be after he retires. Did you see how bored he looked after he hit that 66-footer last night? Just an absolute savant. And Michael Jordan was a savant as well, but I don't think he was this complete. He needs five more titles.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
I think he might be onto something, though, because I think people are going to pull a Jokic by just doing something amazing and looking absolutely bored about it. It's no big deal. I do this all the time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
Don't tell me you're one of those guys that say Jordan would average 45 in today's game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

12 rebounds and 12 assists?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
I'll take it a step further. That's a relationship. Like, you're in trouble. Like, that happens to me all the time. Anthony's on the phone with somebody trying to make plans. And he's asking me on speakerphone. Knows damn well I don't want to go to this place. But he's putting extra pressure. Do not ask me questions in public.

Times have changed, man. People aren't afraid of authority anymore. When I was a kid, I'll just say it. My dad used to whoop my ass, like belt at whatever tool he had used to whoop my ass. And even in third grade, There was this teacher, I don't know if she's with us anymore, probably not, Miss Harrison, thank you for everything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
She would make kids who got in trouble stand in the middle of the room holding a book in each hand until their shoulders were on fire, crying, and then if that didn't work, she would just take you to the restroom, drop your pants, give you a smack on the ass.

That is not laughing you out of the room. Laughing you out of the room is saying, no, close both eyes. Don't look the way Mike's doing. What you're supposed to do. I said keep a small eye.

Mike, come on back here. You can look now because I want to make everybody stare at Shea Gilgis-Alexander for a second. This is a good topic for you, Tony. You want to talk hoop, right? Shea, I will tell you, I will admit to you, he's special. That guy can be the number one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
I don't believe I'm saying anything crazy here. He can be the number one on a team that wins a championship. I just want to know what people's... like likability, like what they actually think of him. Is he a guy, because the reason this came up in my head is was like, when, if ever, will Shea get embraced? When will America like Shea? Will it have to be him winning a finals, winning finals MVP?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
And I thought to myself, no, It's not going to happen. If it was going to happen, it would have happened already the same way it's with Anthony Edwards or, you know, whenever Zion Williamson plays like people love him. People don't love Shea Gildress Alexander. And I'm trying to figure out why. And to me... I think he's pretty funny. You think he's funny? Yeah. Oh, that's Shane Gillis, Alexander.

Buddy, what happened? People really liked KD before he won an MVP. You can be an OKC and be likable. I think it has everything to do with his game.

The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
But if people like clamor for the mid range and what used to happen back in the day, like you're asking for 48 minutes of what Shea does and what Shea does again, while it can carry a team is not like I must watch this guy play. It's not like Anthony Edwards. It's not like John Moran. It's not like Steph Curry. It's not like any of these guys. It's not like Dwayne Wade back in the day.

But you didn't see Venus and Serena for 14 years at Indian Wells. And the next tournament is in Miami. So I always thought, wow, Miami's the one to pay attention to.

The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
Go, do you want to start or do you want me to start? Look, Tony believes that I'm standing under a nine-foot basket right now not looking in his direction because he needs to dunk on me so badly because of something I said.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
My ankles bother me a little bit, but it could be 10 feet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
We still got until July. July 25th, I will have a video for you. I mean, I'm not standing under a 10-foot rim for you to dunk on me because I don't think you could do it. But... There was a take that I had. It wasn't even a real take. It was something that I just spit out when I was guesting on Oddball one time before I was co-host. And, Tony, do you have video of it? We've got video.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
I'm glad you asked. Really? We do absolutely have video of it. I did not know this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
Mike, are you fixing the cabinet? He broke. Oh, no. He's looking now, and he's realized everything. is costing us more money than it's making us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
No, he's not, says Izzy. No, no, he's not. I put this in the group chat last season. I said, Cade Cunningham, he's all right. He is not special. He doesn't have, I don't think he has the athleticism to be special. I don't think he has the shot making to be special.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
I think he's a good lead guard, might make an all-star game, but I don't think he is a number one on a team that's going to do much of anything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
Talk me off of that, because I still believe that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
Whoa, whoa. Is that not lit? Wow, this whole table shook. Is that not literally what I said? He can't be the number one guy on a team that's going to do a whole lot of, is that not literally what I said?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
He said he's special. I said he's not special, but that's a different semantics game. Your definition of special is different than mine. I still don't think he's special. I think he's a nice player.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
Correct. Keep a small eye on them. If you would have kept a big eye on them, you would have missed the Luka trade.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
Oh, he's dead. I forgot. You know what? Let's not look at last night either when they lost to the Wizards. Stop saying don't look! It triggers him, please. And he got blocked on a game winner. Okay, again. Don't look at that. Don't look at his numbers from last year where, yes, I understand he was on a worse team with a worse coach. But if you are special, you elevate above those guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
The coach is better. Look, I mean, don't look. Because what you're going to see. Don't say that. What you're going to see. Watch. Watch. Don't look until we get to the playoffs. When we get to the playoffs, then you can look and you'll see a guy who can be schemed against. You'll see a guy who is, again, not the number one guy on a team that's going to do a whole heck of a lot of winning.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
A number two guy, that team's going to win a damn championship at some point, potentially. But number one guy, hmm. And to me, that's not special. What makes him special as a point guard, potentially, is his size. His size makes him, you know, he can do some things.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
He can make some shots. But look, there's a lot of guys in the league, put him in that role, they can put those numbers up. It's not that great. It's not.

Why doesn't people in D.C. want to hear that?

Local Hour: People Forget How Good Barry Bonds Was
So is this just an extended version of the 90s baseball game? Is it just because of nostalgia? Or could it be like a player from 2015 telling you a story and you're like, okay with it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: People Forget How Good Barry Bonds Was
There is a video that I know is relatively recent. We just got got, right, by that video. I got got so bad, and I'm so glad that Tony's wearing a Team USA hat, because it made me think of it. We touched on it at the top of Oddball, so sorry about repeats here if you've heard this. Mike, you tell me. Should we play the video that has a fake element to it first and then explain why I got God?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: People Forget How Good Barry Bonds Was
I don't even have to explain. It'll be very easily. Or should we explain it first and then play the video? Play the fake video. Play the fake video. It's a real video. It's a real video. It's a real video. It's a real video.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: People Forget How Good Barry Bonds Was
There's a fake element in the video. And I... like believe that whoever put this out decided to wait a good amount of time from the Olympics until now because I'll give you a little insight into what the video is. I believe I saw the video during the Olympics. I believe I saw it and it was not memorable.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: People Forget How Good Barry Bonds Was
So that's why when I saw what I saw the other day, I was like, okay, I don't remember any of these answers. I don't remember the video at all. And then by the end of it, I was still certain that it was real. Like I shared it with like my sister, I shared it with Anthony and I was just like, this is wild. And I'm vamping here because we don't have the video yet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: People Forget How Good Barry Bonds Was
But this is how badly I got got though, because as I'm talking about it, the first person I told it to, knew was one of the producers on Oddball. He knew exactly what I was talking about. He let me get to the end of the story before he was like, yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: People Forget How Good Barry Bonds Was
That's how I found out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: People Forget How Good Barry Bonds Was
I was so floored. I was like, well, let me give you my thinking on this, all right? So for those who don't know, wait, is it obvious what the actual question was to everybody?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: People Forget How Good Barry Bonds Was
When I first watched the video, I'm saying to myself, oh, they're obviously starting with Steph. Because if Steph answers the question, everybody else will answer the question, right? So I'm like, okay, Steph, and, and this one where Amin got me with the two hands, two feet. I'm thinking it's just, oh, he's just counting how old he is on both hands.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: People Forget How Good Barry Bonds Was
He needs both hands and both feet to count how old he is. The part that I didn't listen to is a loud day on campus that day, which I should have said, why does all of campus, is know that Steph Curry has lost his virginity today.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: People Forget How Good Barry Bonds Was
Exactly. And then here's the other dead giveaway. When Tyrese Halliburton said that my dad has video of it, but I'd also heard some weird shit about his dad. So I was like, wait, I don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: People Forget How Good Barry Bonds Was
No, I actually had it as an accidental recording and his dad was like, well, I'm just going to keep it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: People Forget How Good Barry Bonds Was
Oddly enough, the one person where it was like a split second where I was like, wait a second, that couldn't possibly be true or he couldn't possibly have answered it that casually was Kevin Durant. Because Kevin Durant doesn't share this type of stuff. He was just like, yeah, 13. And I was like, wait a second. But then...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: People Forget How Good Barry Bonds Was
The way my heart dropped when they got to Bam, and Bam said 11, and I was like, huh? Bam! Sex crimes! Clutching your pearls. And then the follow-up, if I had pearls, oh, so clutched. The follow-up was really where it should have gotten me. The follow-up on Bam being, how tall were you when you were 11? I was just like, that's not my follow-up question, but whatever. And... Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: People Forget How Good Barry Bonds Was
The question was, how old were you when you first dunked? And when you hear that, you realize how stupid I feel. But I honestly, like I wanted that moment. Like I want to be able to be fooled. I wanted that clutching pearls moment from Bam. And I was like, I'm glad that I got faked out there because it was totally worth it. Now I just have to tell my sister that that's not real.

When you're on the toilet and you don't have headphones in, how is that clear? Okay, maybe without cams on.

Local Hour: People Forget How Good Barry Bonds Was
I was like, how is this happening? No, you guys have that, what, as a pose that I was thinking he was two hands, two feet? Yes, that's exactly right. I mean, it's obvious to me. It's like counting how old he was. He needs both hands and both feet to say he was 19.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: People Forget How Good Barry Bonds Was
And the way he said it, like he was ashamed of his face.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: People Forget How Good Barry Bonds Was
The goat. It's brilliant. It's a brilliant tell. I'm telling you. So you're saying Stephen A was ahead of the game.

You're going from most obvious to least obvious. And you've got the Lakers at number four right behind Boston. That means you think they are a top four potential team to make the finals. That's a good point. Number four is not Lakers.

Yeah. The good one. The situational one. The situational one.

But it wasn't, and by the way, we're gonna have to vamp for a while, because I was just told nowhere back there is this video. Why do we have a sheet? But the thing that gets me about those videos, the thing that gets me, is just the wow factor. They're like odd.

No, no, no. Where was the video from 75 years old? That video is from six months ago. Can we check how tall the rim is, though? How high it is? Oh, it's not 10. What's not 10?

There you go. We can't let Jeremy get away with people don't remember how good Barry Bonds was. People don't remember. No matter how good he is, you can't remember how good he was. Just listen to this show.

That now takes over for Stu Gatzis. Wow, they want some stuff in Edmonton, huh? People don't remember that. Did he say that for real? Yes. Oh, man. Even though Wayne Gretzky is the GOAT, he should know everything about the GOATs. People don't remember. He won in Edmonton.

But in that. theory wouldn't he be able to sue him or whatever have grounds if he plays that anywhere any concert with people at and cameras there why the Super Bowl is the one obviously more eyes on it but isn't that the same concept of just performing it at a concert like the concert didn't he do it like 12 times in a row at a concert a few months

The Big Suey: Should Kendrick Play 'Not Like Us'?
There's also nothing in there, I'm sorry, because there's also nothing in there in terms of whether he can say the words or just play the beat, right? Just playing the beat at certain points throughout the performance, I think, is something that gets people connected and they obviously light up for it. The other thing that I think about this is... That would piss off everyone. Well, maybe.

It could piss them off, but it could be the only happy medium there.

But the other part about this is if you're Kendrick and this is sort of a career celebration for you, right? How much of this time do you really want to spend stomping on Drake's grave? Because that would assume that that is what made you to this level. Kendrick has been building up to this. And then this just happens to be part of the story.

The Big Suey: Should Kendrick Play 'Not Like Us'?
Yeah, I would say that too, but if I'm Kendrick, I want people to respect everything I've done before this and not think I'm just a diss track guy. Didn't he win a bunch of Grammys last week? He did.

He walked out on stage with a vest with bullet holes in it and smoke coming out of it as if to say, hey, they shot me, but I'm still alive. It's like... It's frankly corny. He's mad corny for that. That's a callback. So good.

Well, game one's always the tough one. You don't really know what it was, especially after some of that off time for OKC. But I will say in the first half, you're watching that game and saying like, Yeah, OKC does play good defense, but it was just terrible offense. It was just—and I blame the Knicks for this, or credit the Knicks, however you want to say this. Indiana had such an easy time.

Tyrese Halliburton could have 15 assists and no turnovers, just jumping in the air and then deciding where to pass it to. Against this team, every pass is contested, and they just seem to not recognize that early on. And then you look at the scoreboard, it's like, it's a 12-point game. OKC should be up 30. Do not mess with this team.

The double rebound in the first goal, right? And then he had the one where he was screened a little by Sam. He still should have hung on to that one. To me, Bob has the typical game that he's got in this postseason. He was still really good. He was, but he could have been spectacular. But Skinner was better.

And then by the end, you look at the stats, and they shot 46% from three, the Pacers did. And so, yeah, you stay in close enough, you get... And this is the other part when I knew something was up. When Nem Hart, in one play, turned into Allen Iverson and just went whack, whack, whack between the legs, step back three. I was like, they're definitely coming back now.

Which one do you think is more likely, that Aaron Rodgers comes in, figures things out quickly, creates a chemistry with this team, vibes with Mike Tomlin, and goes deep into the playoffs, or Aaron Rodgers does the opposite of all those things, doesn't really vibe with his teammates, doesn't really vibe with Tomlin, retires before training camp is over?

It's more likely than him going on a deep playoff run. The arrogance of him to be able to come in here after what he just showed off. And if he does pull off an impressive run with this Steelers team, I would argue it has more to do with the organization in itself because the Jets were a shit show and you obviously saw what happened when he was there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

But to answer your question, Mike, if it's sustainable, if they can keep doing this, I don't really see why not, because... As the game went along, you would imagine the defense would maybe get better, the defense would lock in. The Pacers' offense got better. The Pacers seemed like the team that early on were a little bit sort of off because of the NBA Finals, felt some of the pressure.

Chet playing 23 minutes and Hartenstein playing 17 minutes. And is that a Rick Carlisle thing? That's a Dagnall thing. A Dagnall thing where he started off with Case and Wallace?

They're 80-something and 18 this year.

That's the first sign where I was like, that is kind of strange. But then look at Chet Holmgren's minutes. Look at his line. Look at Jalen Williams' line. And it's like...

That is a big solo artist with a couple of helpers there. And Chet, I owe Cat an apology because I thought that in this series, Chet would be the version of Cat that we all wanted to see in that series. No wasted stuff, just catch and shoot.

Chet had that first drive against Miles, and I said out loud in the living room, Miles can't guard him. They should be able to do that all day long. He didn't have to. He didn't finish again. I don't think he finished again trying to drive past him.

It used to be where the extension gets you the call. Full extension. Full extension gets you the call. But now guys have just gotten so good at getting that thrust. without the extension, and really just pushing off, and then creating the space, and to me, that's not a move, that is still an offensive foul.

Do you think, Izzy, that LeBron would switch teams and end his career not playing with Bronny? Yeah, I think he would.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Land of No Expectations (feat. Steve Goldstein)
All right. I have a hypothetical for you guys. I love it. It's a fun one. Okay. Okay. So LeBron says, you know what? My career is winding down. I want things to end the right way. I want to leave on a positive note everywhere. I went back to Cleveland. I did things the right way. I was out in L.A. Delivered them a championship. But there's one spot. that there may still be some bad blood there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Land of No Expectations (feat. Steve Goldstein)
And I want mad love, you know? So he calls and he says, hey, Mickey, listen. You're so fine. I don't like the way things ended. Wrapping up my Hall of Fame career, I know that things are a little bit better between us. At some point, the number will be up in the rafters. Maybe a statue. Who knows? But I want to end things the right way. I'm not happy with the way things went.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Land of No Expectations (feat. Steve Goldstein)
You and I, we've had a great relationship. I want to do you a solid also. I was talking to KD. KD's down. We want to have one last hurrah, like a big bang to end the career. Just a going out party. Maybe we'll make a run. Maybe we get you one more championship. Get us one more championship. But we're not doing this with Pat. That is just beyond repair. We want to do this the right way, but no Pat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Land of No Expectations (feat. Steve Goldstein)
But you get me and you get KD. And we figured it out. You know what? Andy's a genius with the numbers. He'll figure out how to make the numbers work. We're not here to break the bank. We'll play with Bam. We'll play with Tyler. We'll play with whoever we have to. But it's going to be me and Katie. We want to come to Miami and end our career here, but we're not doing this with Pat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Land of No Expectations (feat. Steve Goldstein)
But the question is, what do you do? Do you take Kevin Durant and LeBron James if it means that Pat has got to go? Absolutely.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Land of No Expectations (feat. Steve Goldstein)
Hands it off to the next front office. But then everyone that said, you know what, Pat was holding them back, then they get proven right if they win a championship as soon as he's gone.

lost lost like a baby deer on ice and then Jalen hits that oh my god that's just gonna haunt him for the rest of the summer and it wasn't only that play it was really a few plays down the stretch of the last couple of minutes I believe he's the one who committed the foul on the and one when it was 112 105 I might be wrong on that it might have been another player but he's the guy right to go be a stopper of a player specifically like Jalen Brunson where Thompson actually
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: America Was Built On McDonald's Breakfast
actually has the size advantage. It's rare that one of the Thompson twins gets placed on a player where they actually have the size advantage because their quickness is the thing that helps them both defensively.

And now his brother is on that stage tonight and is going to be tasked with a lot of the same things of being the guy to go stop, whether it's Jimmy Butler, whether it's Steph Curry, and he's going to be in that position late in the game, probably a close game, defending another undersized guard. And now he... The other twin is going to be in that position.

I hope for his sake it goes the other direction tonight because, man, if back-to-back nights, those two dudes get put in the same exact spot, oh, man.

To clarify a little bit on what we were talking about with free agency there with Lucas Stugatz, what you mean is he's going into the last year of a deal here where there's a player option after that, and he has yet to extend.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: America Was Built On McDonald's Breakfast
So really what this is is a player being in a position right now where with one year left on that deal, if he says, I'm not extending with you and I'm going to eventually opt out of that player option, that's what puts the Lakers in an interesting position with him. That's not something anybody anticipates, but I can see why. It's the Jimmy spot. Yeah, that's exactly what it is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

It's the Jimmy spot. Coupled with LeBron and am I going to retire?

Well, this is a really interesting transition because... After last night's game between the Nuggets and the Clippers, as much as I wanted to be excited about game seven, which I am, because that's just going to be what an incredible first round basketball game. But I started immediately thinking about this offseason. And obviously, I'm in that position because my team is already in the offseason.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: America Was Built On McDonald's Breakfast
But I think this offseason has an opportunity to be one of the craziest in terms of superstar movement in a very long time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: America Was Built On McDonald's Breakfast
Here's what's interesting, right? Because we knew going into the playoffs, KD, right, who's already out. KD, someone who's almost definitely going to be on the move. Not a superstar anymore, though. I would disagree. He's still top five in the league in scoring. He's Kevin Durant, and he's still an efficient, top-level scorer in the league.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: America Was Built On McDonald's Breakfast
Reportedly, Phoenix is going to work with him on a move, which is why it seems inevitable. Right, so that's where you start. Then there's the questions of Zion Williamson, a guy who didn't make the playoffs, a franchise that's in a bit of disarray. Could someone like Zion be available?

Local Hour: America Was Built On McDonald's Breakfast
Wow, that's one of the worst takes you've ever had. Where is Chris Middleton these days, by the way? Good Lord. He's rotting away in Washington, poor guy.

Classic. It would have been better for the Knicks to lose to the Pistons so they could trade everybody for Giannis. Really bad decision winning that game. All right, so Giannis, Zion, KD. Now we have a conversation about LeBron James, right? Brian Winhorst sort of insinuating yesterday that, well, the Lakers aren't really LeBron's team anymore. right? Luka Doncic is the guy they just traded for.

You look at the Celtics, there are reports coming out about the Celtics that they're, not necessarily Jalen Brown, but that they're going to need to move on contractually from guys like Porzingis and Drew Holiday, who are not superstars, but are supplementary pieces to championship teams. And now, I've just named Kevin Durant, Zion Williamson, Giannis Antetokounmpo,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: America Was Built On McDonald's Breakfast
LeBron James, Drew Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis. There are a ton of pieces that could potentially be on the move. And there are several teams that we know can or should be aggressive. If Houston gets knocked out in the first round, they'll be aggressive. They have a ton of picks available. Detroit looks like a team that should try to cash in and get somebody next to Cade Cunningham.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: America Was Built On McDonald's Breakfast
The San Antonio Spurs can continue to be aggressive after adding De'Aaron Fox. Obviously, the Miami Heat were embarrassed this season and want to be aggressive.

Well, and then when you look at just name recognition, right, if it's Joel Embiid, then there's Paul George, who the Sixers are stuck with, right? There's Bradley Beal, who's a guy that the Suns are stuck with. These are name recognition teams, name recognition players. And by the way, whatever happens in that game seven between Denver and Los Angeles.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: America Was Built On McDonald's Breakfast
Whoever loses is going to be in a really fascinating position this offseason because either Denver will have continued to fail maybe the greatest offensive center of all time and putting the right pieces around him, or the Clippers, who are a team built on veterans, continuing to thrive, will be in a really interesting spot with Kawhi Leonard and James Harden.
