What emotions are felt as the new year begins?
Happy New Year, everyone. And now the holiday blues set in. Jeremy, I'm instantly sad on this day. It's just like all the holidays were so fun. Christmas, New Year's, and now we're just like, we're to the new year. And I know it's like happy, but there's just like a sadness to the end of the holidays for me. I get more sad tomorrow, but I'm still not the happiest today. And so in turn, you know what I think we need a dose of? What? Tony Reale's energy. That's some happiness. Now I'm happy again. That's what we're going to bring. See, now you're happy again. You're about to hear some of that. So remember Reale marching through the streets of Miami, talking to people, just being everything that Tony Reale is.
As happy as anyone has ever been on this show. Yeah, he was so happy to be here and what a wonderful, kind, Just ball of energy. The best. The best. And so we're going to do two things today. We're going to start with that because great, happy, awesome. And then we're going to show you maybe the most angry I've ever seen anyone on the show ever, which is your dad being absolutely enraged when you took his laptop from him and exposed where he was going to have the Dolphins in his preseason ranking. Well, it didn't. I don't think like, you know, I don't want to spoil the segment, but I don't actually even reveal it. I just threatened to reveal it. I have the laptop and I'm like, I'm just. Everyone's heard this already.
This is already happened. It's fine. I'm not defending myself, but like, yeah, I mean, my dad was being a little sensitive, but judge for yourself. Yeah. Judge for yourself, everybody. Happy New Year. Enjoy the dichotomy of the Dan Levitard show. Dichotomy.
How does Tony Reali spread positivity in Miami?
I know what that means, but Roy doesn't. Could you explain it to him?
I should tell people, because I do know, Stugatz, that we've gotten to such rarefied air with the trades that Kevin Durant still in play with suitors is something that will garner a lot of attention beyond where we talk about Devers and Bain. Devers and Bain are players with a future. Kevin Durant is a player with a past, however. playing for a one-year contract and extension at his age. I know everyone has looked at what happened in Phoenix, and because we were even talking about the last embers of Steph and Jimmy and LeBron last year, Kevin Durant didn't even make the playoffs, and so people are doing something now to Kevin Durant that they ought not do, because Kevin Durant will be able to hit that jumper until he is 60.
Kevin Durant still is a player, even at his age, 15-time All-Star. When you talk about 26 points a game, six rebounds, four assists, one block, and this stat, over 40% from three, over 50% from two, that's just him and Jokic. Only two players in the league can do that, where it's like, I will give you efficient scoring still. You can say what you want about his age. You can say what you want about his defense. Don't tell me that somebody can't use that for a year. Well, someone can use it for a year or two years, for that matter.
He's a great scorer. No one has ever said otherwise. You have to factor in the age. He's 37 years old. What makes it strange is why a team, if he wants to win NBA championships... why the Heat would remain on the list. I understand the Rockets, the Spurs, that's the team I would choose. If you could take Wemba and Yama and go win him a title, that's going to change a lot of people's opinions about you moving forward. So I'm just confused as to why the Heat are so high on his list.
What memorable moments did Tony create during his visit?
Durant would be telling you, I'm guessing, that that's previous flirtations with them. I've told you the story before of Eric Spolstra explaining Pat Riley explaining to Kevin Durant before he chose to go to Golden State, if you come here, we think Oklahoma City's been using you inefficiently. We think that you can, with some support, be better than you are right now if we stretch the floor and get positionless basketball and have guys shooting threes. And Kevin Durant was like, great idea.
