This was brought to our attention first hour of the program.
Can you be a fan of the Lakers and the Clippers if you live in Los Angeles?
If you're LA native, I think you can because you want your city to be successful and I think it's possible You know, there's nothing wrong with that.
He loved the Lakers, too
Yeah, but I think if the Clippers were really good, then I think Laker fans, you know, then you'd have a problem.
But the Clippers haven't been that, you know, anywhere near the Lakers.
Therefore, it's kind of nice that, oh, you like the little Clippers.
You want the little brother to be successful, but hey, stay in your lane.
You're not going to get too successful because if you do, we're going to have to up our ante, do some things, you know, get a guy like Kobe, get a guy like Shaq, and then show you who the real big dog is.
I'm watching Wemby, and I brought this up to Isaiah Thomas yesterday.
I could see Ralph Sampson being like this in his day, but back then they would tell the big guy, get down on the blocks.
Now you can roam the perimeter, but do you see remnants of Ralph Sampson with Victor Wimbenyama?
You know, you look at him and the way Victor moves and how Ralph used to move on the court before he had all those injuries, his silkiness, how he ran up and down the court.
You think about every kid that watched basketball, wanted to run with the thumbs up like Ralph.
And Ralph was phenomenal.
And I think, you know,
Back then, once you passed like 6'4", oh, you're big, get down on the block.
And I think that was the worst thing for basketball, is still letting guys say, oh, you got talent?
Show us what you can do.
And I think that's what's so great about today's NBA game.
