What are Amin's weekend observations on the NBA playoffs?
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
There's Amin, and Amin will enjoy this just as much as I do. Doug Christie is back. He's coming back next season, Zaslow, for the 22 and 60 Sacramento Kings.
The Kings are tanking, but I don't think Doug Christie knows that.
No. They're tanking, and they have Russell Westbrook, and they have DeMar DeRozan. It's not exactly a young team, and this allows us to celebrate with Amin this epic Doug Christie sound, which I believe to be the best thing about his Kings tenure.
Good evening, good evening. Some of you guys, I think everybody in here knows me. If you don't, my name is Douglas Dale Christie. I'm head coach of the Sacramento Kings, okay? Change is hard, y'all. We about to work at it like crazy. We totally get that. And it'll be bumpy. It will. Because change is like that. But buckle up. For the real ones, buckle up.
How does Amin feel about the Sacramento Kings' future?
And for all the rest of you, you know who you are. You know how I feel about that. When I see the hate, the haters, the fakers, all you guys, you keep that energy. That's good. You keep that. And you know who you are. Because while you're doing that, we're going to be working. And while you're doing that, we're going to be growing. And while you do that, eventually, we're going to be coming. The King Show. SAC proud. Know that.
22-60. They've made the playoffs once in the last 20 seasons.
It's amazing. Isn't it incredible? You hear a speech like that and you're like, oh man, they must have really turned it on after that. Not really. They actually got worse after he gave that speech. And it just highlights, Dan, I think sometimes we conflate tanking with your team just sucks. In the case of the Sacramento Kings, they might have done things to, you know, throw gas on the fire late in the season, like that game where they intentionally fouled Seth Curry. But... They just suck. That fire was blazing long before they started doing things to exacerbate it.
You are one of the nation's great defenders of Shaq. I believe that he did something that was wrong to a poor guy on live television, played it off well. But let's play for the audio audience. This is an Indiana couple at a Pacers game. The man is just yammering. This video has gone viral. Nobody can hear what they're saying. She's just sort of enduring it on the side of her face. And then she says, that's you. That's who you are. And he sort of says, yeah, kind of am. And so that is real love right there.
Oh, it's true love. The entire internet just fell in love with this couple. I believe their names are Grace and Michael. And they went viral from this.
What went viral at the Pacers game and why is it significant?
And it was so awesome because it's not just like, oh, that's you. It's, that's you. What the F are you talking about? That's right. She told it to him straight. The look that he gives of just like, yeah, all right. Yeah, you're right. It truly is exactly what true love is. And they, after they went viral, were interviewed on a variety of different places. They went on a Pacers podcast. It was 30 minutes long that I listened to every single second of it because they're the greatest. You're a sucker for love. Oh, yeah. And all they were talking about was a New York Times podcast with Ben Sasse in which he was or it might have been an article in which he was talking about the sickness that he's going through, but ultimately pivoted to the way that liberal arts educations need to change to ultimately help.
We don't really want to review. We don't want to review. We didn't want to do that. Because they were just Ben's ass. They were just they were just talking about this.
What insights does Amin share about the upcoming NBA playoffs?
totally boring thing and yet this moment is captured and it's the rare one where I didn't see any negative backlash online everyone agreeing this is what true love is I'm here for the negative backlash because I know Amin's not going to support Shaq on what he did to this guy on television let's play this for Amin here so people can see that this Indiana couple is very much in love yes but Shaq shouldn't have done this
I'll tell you what, if you ask her to marry you right now, I'll buy the engagement ring.
