14:00

those other two guys, you know

14:02

it was disrespectful because Derek White was

14:04

getting a minutes. Man,

14:06

look, if you are Jason

14:08

Tatum, and I've heard from people at

14:10

USA Basketball, like who were there, right? Not

14:12

like media people, but people who were there,

14:15

that Jason Tatum was like, man,

14:17

I'm the best player here. Why am I

14:19

not playing? He legit

14:21

thought that he was the

14:23

best player. Player,

14:27

like not like historically anything

14:29

like that, but he thought because of

14:31

what I did with the Celtics, I'm

14:34

the best player here. Now,

14:37

granted, there are

14:39

very small instances

14:42

where the best player on the best team

14:45

does not have a case coming

14:47

off a championship where he can

14:49

have a reasonable claim. You

14:51

know what I mean? A reasonable claim to like when

14:54

Tim Duncan won them titles, he could say I'm the

14:56

best player. Hakeem Eliza wants it, I can say I'm

14:58

the best player. You know what I mean? Like Isaiah

15:00

Thomas was close enough to it

15:03

in those championships, but that's

15:05

a word where Michael Jordan is living. You know

15:07

what I mean? Yeah, he could claim like after

15:09

you saying, ain't nobody faster than me, which is

15:11

a hell of a thing to be able to

15:13

claim. Right, right. Jason

15:15

Tatum, it's a lot of weeds

15:18

to wade through before you have the argument for

15:20

him to say, I'm the

15:22

best player in the world, or I'm

15:24

the best player in the league, or

15:27

I'm the best player amongst the 12

15:29

guys here. And the

15:31

bad part for him is, Bo, the

15:33

two dudes he's playing in front

15:36

of or playing in front of him

15:38

are demonstratively better in a small sample

15:40

size. The question is- Hold

15:42

on, which two are you saying there? Kevin

15:45

Duran and LeBron James. Gotcha. The

15:48

question that I will

15:50

give Jason Tatum some grace on is

15:53

over an 82 game season, given

15:55

health and everything else, would

15:58

you rather have Jason Tatum LeBron-

16:00

James with Kevin Durant. Correct. And

16:02

that's where I'd rather have Kevin Durant. But

16:12

you're are you having him

16:14

there? Okay, how many years is it

16:16

gonna take you to get 82 games to Kevin Durant? One

16:19

and a half maybe two. I

16:23

think. By that's my only

16:25

concern. He played a reason. He played a reasonable amount

16:27

last year. Like he didn't

16:29

have the big injury last

16:31

year. He had the big

16:33

injury when he first or this when he

16:35

slipped on his ankle or he turned his

16:37

ankle right when he got to Phoenix. He

16:39

played a lot of games and look at

16:41

that efficiency. Look

16:47

at how well he played and

16:49

now they got a point guard which means Kevin

16:51

Durant will only have to take one dribble half

16:53

the time. So that's why I say I'm

16:57

probably taking Kevin Durant first. That's interesting because

16:59

I still feel like at this point are

17:01

you probably not getting a lot more defense

17:03

out of Tatum than you are to Durant?

17:06

I think the rim protection from Durant because

17:08

you can sit him down in the last third you

17:11

know the last third of the floor and he can

17:13

come and do some weak side shot blocking and all

17:15

that. I still think Tatum's

17:17

a better all-around defender because he can move

17:19

his feet but I don't think that KD

17:21

is like coming up short on that end

17:24

and he's more reliable offensively. Call it what you

17:26

want about Tatum. He's the most reliable offensive player

17:29

like outside of Kareem Abdul Jabbar maybe that has

17:31

ever walked the face of the earth. I guess

17:33

LeBron is up there too but there's something that

17:35

just feels so much more automatic. I feel like

17:37

Kevin Durant will be able to score 20 points

17:39

a game till the day he dies. Yeah

17:43

I mean put it like this there was this one

17:45

thing during the pandemic when we were all or

17:47

everybody was all scraping a barrel and it was like

17:49

some graphic I think ESP and I

17:51

put up and it was like Michael Jordan Kobe Bryant

17:53

LeBron Jameson like a fourth shadow we figured that they

17:55

didn't name and it says with a game

17:58

on the line who you want taking the last shot and

18:00

I I tweeted something like, Michael Jordan's

18:02

going to get the shot that he wants. Kobe

18:04

Bryant can hit any shot on the floor. The

18:06

answer to this question is Kevin Durant, seven

18:09

feet tall with a handle. And

18:11

whatever he's lost in quickness, because you

18:14

go look at that Oklahoma City film,

18:16

and he was bouncy and quicker, whatever

18:19

he's lost, it ain't

18:21

that much to where you can really

18:24

take advantage or exploit him offensively. Like, you may be

18:26

able to catch his jumper because you might be able

18:28

to strip it on the way up, but

18:30

you ain't catching it at the top. You

18:32

ain't bothering him, and he's still

18:34

so damn efficient. All he need is a

18:36

point guard, and now he got one. It's

18:39

like any, not just a great point guard,

18:41

you give him any old point guard, and

18:44

he going to be fire. So the question

18:46

I ask, Jason Tatum or Kevin Durant in

18:48

the 82 game season, who you

18:50

taking? Man,

18:54

I think for 82, I'm still

18:56

taking Tatum, because what I need

18:58

from you in 82 just ain't that important. So

19:01

Dan, so okay, okay, with that, are

19:04

you telling me that you agree,

19:06

or you're riding with the Philadelphia 76ers plan

19:08

of, Joe Owen beat is going to sit

19:10

back to backs, Paul George is going to

19:12

sit back to backs, and that's a recipe

19:14

for a championship. I think,

19:19

I said the performance in the 82 isn't that

19:21

important. I don't mean that what happens in the

19:23

82 is not

19:26

that important. And that's an interesting

19:28

question that we will answer on the other side of this

19:30

year break. The

20:46

you got any trips coming up? I

20:48

know for me, I'm starting to book out my travel

20:51

plans for next year and I'm excited to use Viator

20:53

again. So for me personally, I

20:55

think I'm done traveling internationally for the rest of

20:57

the year, especially after that trip

20:59

to France, but I'm hoping to use Viator

21:01

locally in my own city. Their app and

21:03

website makes it easy to explore 300,000 plus

21:05

travel experiences. So

21:08

you can discover what's out there no matter where

21:10

you're traveling and what you're interested in. Thinking I,

21:12

you know, I'm thinking I might make my way

21:14

up the coast and see what Viator has to

21:16

offer. That sounds like a

21:18

plan. Plus their free cancellation helps you

21:21

plan for the unexpected. And Viator also

21:23

offers 24 seven customer

21:25

the perfect travel experiences for you. Do

21:41

more with Viator. All right.

21:44

So many just asked about this Philadelphia plan. This is

21:46

interesting. Joel and B says he thinks he's done playing

21:48

back to backs for the rest of his career and

21:51

that they're not going to play Paul George in

21:53

back to backs. And you asked, do I

21:55

think that's a recipe for winning a championship?

21:57

I absolutely do not believe that. I guess.

24:00

I don't think and add to the fact,

24:02

look, New York, we don't know what type of regular season

24:04

team New York's going to be, but Tom Thibodeau don't take

24:06

his foot off the gas. Boston just

24:08

won 64 games this year. I don't think that Boston is

24:10

going to win 64 games, but I

24:12

don't think they're going to fall that far off

24:14

the pace. Milwaukee

24:16

now looks like the second best

24:18

team in terms of continuity, in terms of

24:20

we haven't had great change over the off

24:23

season where we can have some sweat equity

24:25

from what we did last year, even if

24:27

last year didn't go so well. Philly,

24:29

you got great change. New York, you got great

24:32

change. And then Philly, you got this great change

24:34

and you're not going to play your two best

24:36

players together. As long as

24:38

the season goes, you're going to sit them

24:40

when it gets hard. The playoffs ain't nothing

24:42

but hard. Yeah. Hey,

24:45

and let me tell you this about

24:47

Boston because there's only one argument against

24:49

Boston is champion to me. And

24:52

that's poor Zingas gets hurt. Because

24:55

I do think that there is a world

24:57

of difference between what that team is or

24:59

poor Zingas plays. And we need to do

25:01

this. Not when he did not play in

25:03

the playoffs, they looked incredibly vulnerable. I don't

25:05

care how quick they got through with Indiana

25:07

in that series. They didn't look much better

25:09

in in games where Halliburton didn't play. Indiana

25:11

was going blow for blow for them because

25:13

Boston, we're going to learn a lot about

25:15

what being a champion does to your mind

25:17

because them boys look weak in the brain

25:19

for year after year after year. And

25:22

I have feel like a team like the

25:24

Toronto Raptors that look like they will weaken the

25:26

mind for all those years. And then they weren't

25:28

weak in the mind anymore after they won a

25:30

championship, even without Kawhi Leonard. You saw it in

25:32

the bubble like, oh, wait a minute. These guys

25:34

are champions. But when they got

25:36

poor Zingas back into playoffs last year,

25:38

I was just like, oh, we can

25:40

cancel Christmas because there's an argument to

25:42

be made that that guy's the best

25:44

player on that team. He just can't

25:46

stay healthy. Like the combination of skills

25:48

and what he can do for you.

25:52

But I guess that's the most critical. Maybe going

25:54

to the most critical player. All about this best

25:56

player may be going too far. Most talented player.

25:58

I think he might win. Danny

46:00

Hange was there, like Dan Marley. Dan

46:03

Marley is one of those interesting cases

46:05

where the tan might lead you to

46:07

believe there's some ambiguity there. No,

46:10

no. That's not like I used

46:12

to feel about my man, Tom Tober does the radio

46:14

down in San Francisco. When I was a kid, he

46:16

had like currently, I'm from Houston, man, you know. A

46:20

lot of, you know, typical, like some interesting punnet

46:22

squares that go on there. And for some reason

46:24

he had a curly hair thing at one point,

46:26

I thought Tom Tober was black. You

46:29

know, who didn't think Tom Tober was black? Larry

46:31

Bird, who Tom Tober said the first time

46:33

he played against the Celtics, they had him

46:35

guard Larry Bird and Larry Bird was like.

46:39

Whose man is this? All

46:44

right. Steve

46:46

Nash won two MVPs. That's

46:48

right, Steve Nash had two stints. Had

46:52

two stints. I mean, you can

46:54

name a lot of white wines. You

46:56

can name a lot of white Ziffindells. And

47:00

Phoenix. Did not realize that they had

47:02

such an array of whites. Like that

47:04

stopped and ran through it in this

47:06

moment. Like, and have various stripes of

47:09

various sorts. But I got no idea who

47:11

I think is going to win the West.

47:13

Like, I just feel like we're going to

47:15

see how it goes. Dallas went to the

47:17

finals last year. I can't forget that. I

47:20

don't, I didn't, I don't know

47:22

how repeatable that

47:24

was. The factors

47:26

are repeatable, right? You've

47:28

got the superstar. You

47:31

have the supporting player, Kyrie Irving, sneaky

47:33

getting up there, 32, 33 years old.

47:36

I was about to say, this is year 14. Right?

47:40

The question becomes, are the bigs ready?

47:42

Derek Lively, who I think is going

47:45

to be a stud. I

47:47

think he's going to stretch that range out to becoming a three

47:49

point shooter. Even if I don't think he should, I think his

47:51

game is going to take him out there. Like

47:53

Daniel Gaffler, like they got, I don't think they

47:55

got lucky in getting to the finals. Like when

47:57

you beat Oklahoma City, the best

47:59

regular. before

1:00:00

they hate Chris Paul. They might hate him now, this

1:00:02

training camp. That's why I say they barely seem to

1:00:04

like Vic. But I

1:00:07

just can't imagine for Chris, Chris Paul

1:00:09

might like make the magical comeback to

1:00:11

lead the league and assist again. Do

1:00:14

we graduate Chris Paul to Sarge

1:00:17

now? I know that was our

1:00:19

nickname for Jim Boylan. But is

1:00:21

Chris Paul Sarge at this point?

1:00:23

Yeah, he's Sarge. He's Sarge. He's

1:00:26

Sarge. He's at that point. He's,

1:00:28

he's, but he gonna be

1:00:30

throwing no oomph to that boy. I can't wait. I

1:00:32

can't wait. I'll give it to Chris Paul of this,

1:00:34

because I know we got a wrap. Chris Paul

1:00:36

is going to be 40 years

1:00:38

old in May. There

1:00:40

is no real archetype for a 40-year-old

1:00:43

point guard at his height being reasonably

1:00:45

effective, which I think Chris Paul is

1:00:47

going to be like. He might be,

1:00:49

I'm saying he might be. He's

1:00:51

one of the greatest floor raisers. Yes.

1:00:55

In NBA history. You get Chris Paul,

1:00:57

your program is going to be streamline.

1:01:00

Your players are going to be on time. They're

1:01:02

going to be getting their shooting drills in

1:01:04

order. They're going to get their layup lines

1:01:06

right. He going to get your program running

1:01:09

right. Like he is scared straight

1:01:11

in terms of basketball. If

1:01:13

you don't chill out, I'm going to send you to Chris

1:01:15

Paul. No, no, don't send me to Chris Paul. That's

1:01:19

a, look, that sounds like an insult. But trust

1:01:21

me, that is a great compliment. I just gave

1:01:23

Chris Paul a huge one. No, no, no, no.

1:01:26

This is going to be quite a season.

1:01:29

That is Vinnie Goodwill. Check him out at

1:01:39

man. Yes, sir. Sean, you got prize picks

1:01:42

for the people. Sure do, Beau.

1:01:44

Full slate of NFL games this Sunday. Jaden

1:01:47

Reid, 0.5 rush reception touchdowns. I'll

1:01:49

take more there against their matchup

1:01:51

against the Texans. T Higgins

1:01:53

has been on a nice roll. So I got

1:01:55

0.5 rush reception touchdowns. I'll take more there. And

1:01:59

Derek Henry, 93

1:02:01

and a half rush yards. He's been on

1:02:03

a tear and he's going against the Tampa

1:02:05

Bay Buccaneers. So again, as the audience knows,

1:02:07

I'll take more there as well. Well played.
