In short
This episode is a “best of NBA news” recap that mixes current headlines with heavy debate about LeBron vs. Kobe and the future of the Warriors and Joel Embiid.
Guests
The show features two hosts (Ocho and Joe) discussing NBA topics together; no separate guest names are introduced in this transcript.
Key claims and arguments
- Lakers/LeBron: The Lakers beat the Cavaliers March 31 to give LeBron his 1,229th win. The hosts claim GM Rob Pelinka prioritized J.J. Redick for the game ball, which they say fueled LeBron’s “taken for granted” feeling. They also argue LeBron’s arrival boosted franchise winning rates (about 40% pre-arrival vs. about 62% with him).
- Kobe vs. LeBron: They defend Kobe’s legacy as “top three Laker all time,” arguing stats must include context (age, injuries, role) and that Kobe’s Lakers-only career cements his status.
- Steve Kerr/Warriors: Steve Kerr reportedly agreed to a two-year contract return as Warriors head coach, keeping him as the NBA’s highest-paid coach. They debate whether Kerr, Steph, and Draymond can stay together and whether Draymond’s value transfers outside Golden State.
- Drake/LeBron: They discuss Drake appearing to diss LeBron in a new song/album rollout, including a line about “23andMe” and “DNA.”
- Joel Embiid: The episode teases “what’s next” for Embiid but the transcript doesn’t provide specific details.
Notable examples used
- LeBron’s win milestone (1,229th) and Lakers’ season context.
- Franchise record comparisons before/with LeBron (Cleveland and Miami segments included).
- Kobe statistical run by season (late-career scoring/efficiency numbers cited).
- Warriors roster age concerns (Steph ~38-39, Draymond 36, Horford ~40) and speculation about needing a young big.

2:41Shannon Sharpe:The next segment is brought to you by Tommy John, where comfort is the new power move. And the Lakers pulled a power move on LeBron. On March 31st, the Lakers defeated the Cavaliers to secure LeBron James his record-breaking 1229th win. It was the same night Luka passed 15 ,000 points. Rui passed 5 ,000 points. J.J. Redick reached 100 wins. According to Dave McMiniman, Lakers' GM Rob Palenka gave the game ball to Redick over anybody else. And LeBron felt Palenka's priority was yet another example of the Lakers taking him for granted. On other notes, he has had a great relationship with J.J. Redick.
3:25Shannon Sharpe:One thing the Lakers got right. The Lakers' approach and how they show interest in retaining him and their plan for any discount will be a factor. LeBron James, here's LeBron James before Cleveland and with LeBron. Seven years before he got there, there was 219 and 223, a 40 % win rate. The seven years with him, they won 63 % of their games. LeBron James, Miami, before he arrived, there was 149 and 179, a 45 % win rate. His four years there, there was 224 and 88, a 72 % win rate. Cleveland, when he returned, they were 97-215. They won 31 % of their games. And his four years there, they went to four NBA finals.
4:14Shannon Sharpe:They won one of those NBA finals, and they were 211-117, a 64 % win rate. The eight years before LeBron got there, there was 269-371. They won 42 % of their games. In the eight years with LeBron, they're 357 and 278. That's 56 % win rate. So overall, before he arrived at your franchise, you're winning about 40 % of your game. Once he's there, you win about 62 % of your games. So basically, that's a 22 % increase. Now, people are like, oh, LeBron ain't do nothing. Eight years in Milwaukee, how many championships does Giannis have, Joe? One. How many NBA Finals have he gone to? One, right? One. He's Finals MVP.
5:07In eight years in Denver, how many championships have Jokic won, Joe?
5:11Shannon Sharpe:One. Hmm, interesting. Now, Giannis is deemed successful. Jokic is deemed successful. Only one, Ocho, with the same amount of championships. A Finals MVP, only one is deemed unsuccessful. You see how they did that, Ocho? Yeah. You see? See, Ocho, if I don't like you, you can't do enough good to make me like you. Yes, sir. Hello. Hello. But if I do, you can't do enough wrong to make me dislike you. We see that going around. We don't get political here, but we see what's going on. You see what I do, Ocho? See how I do that? I'm with you when you write. Hey, hey, hey, hey, you watch a lot of Madlock coming up.
5:48Shannon Sharpe:Hey, that was my guy, Madlock. Ironside, I don't know if y 'all remember Raymond Burr. Ironside, he was in a wheelchair. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Madlock, Heat of the Night. Hey, what you know about Heat of the Night, boy? Come on, old Joe. Hey, boy, my grandma used to watch Heat of the Night, boy. Man, come on. Hey, Joe, let me give you, I want to give these Lakers fans and all these Lakers, now this is what the Lakers record was in 2013-14, there was 27-55. They didn't go to the playoffs. The next year, there was 21-61. They didn't go to the playoffs. The next year, there was 17-65. They didn't go to the playoffs.
6:28Shannon Sharpe:The year before, and in 2016, when LeBron James took off the NBA championship, there was 26 and 56. But boy, the Lakers were bad. Boy, people couldn't wait to see the Lakers. Huh? In L.A. winning them amount of games? That would have won. You do realize in that time frame, they got Brandon Ingram. They got Alonzo Ball. They got Jew Randall. Now how in the world would you be able to get the number two pick in the draft if you in the playoffs? How is that possible? How you get Lonzo Ball if you in the playoffs? Right. My granny used to say it all the time, Mocho. Something in the milk ain't clean.
7:18Shannon Sharpe:I'll let y 'all keep on talking. Hold on. Ain't no way. Kobe, I'll count Kobe, go. With that?
7:32Shannon Sharpe:Give me Kobe, pull up Kobe's last eight years. I want to see how many times, how many times? Let's see what he did. His last eight years? That's all we want, last eight. We just go, you look up, compare it and contrast it. Because I tweeted something in 2012 that I said, Kobe and Jordan were the greatest players I've ever seen. And then somebody retweeted it. I say, but, you know, four NBA titles, four finals MVP. Yeah, yeah. Seven all NBA selection. I say, my mind changed. I thought this was the girl for me, Joe. But after she left me high and dry, I changed my mind. Yeah, yeah. But people make it seem like, you can't have it.
8:15Shannon Sharpe:You can't change your mind. So once you say something, I'm sure at some point in time, You probably might have thought this football player. I'm sure a lot of people say, well, Joe Montana was the greatest quarterback, or John Elway, or Dan Marino was the greatest quarterback, Peyton Manning. And then here come this kid that went in the sixth round from Michigan.
8:38Shannon Sharpe:I'm sure at some point in time, somebody said this guy was the best defensive player, whether it was Merlin Olsen, whether it was Deacon Jones, whether it was Bob Lilly, Randy White, Mean Joe. but then this kid out of North Carolina came along and had 56 on his back and I'm sure the corners they probably said were Dick Night Train Lane nah it was Lester Hayes, Mel Blunt Ken Riley Ken Riley, what you know about Ken Riley huh so this skinny kid from Fort Myers Ken Riley
9:21Fam, you a rattler.
9:26You don't know nothing about them rattlers, huh, man? Hey, you know, Ken Riley, hey, Joe, Ken Riley, the only banger in the Hall of Fame with Anthony Munoz. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. He don't get enough credit, man. Enough credit, boy. He was good, boy.
9:46Shannon Sharpe:I learned something new every day. We're going to start from his last year. His last year, Kobe retired at 37 years of age. He averaged 17 points. We're getting four rebounds, three assists. 2014, at 36, he was 22, six rebounds, six assists. In 2013-14, he was 35. He averaged 14 points, four rebounds, six assists. At 2012-13, at 34, he was 27, six, and six. At 2011-12, he was 33. He averaged 28-5-5. At 2010-2011, he was 25-5-5. He shot 45 % in 2010. He shot 43 % in 2011. He shot 46 % in 2012. He shot 42 % in 2013, 37 % in 2014, 36 % in 2015. Run me, run me, bronze. Run me, bronze. because we like do context it wouldn't be fair we got to provide context yes sir yes sir listen because you can't argue points and facts without context and most of the time today especially for you Hunk you want to be factual you want to have the facts and the stats to support whatever it is you're trying to get across because see I think the thing Michael Beasley he taught us he said man you judging by decisions but you didn't know the choices that I had
11:17Shannon Sharpe:I'm just going to provide a little context for you because I know y 'all like context I got to give you why I said something or why this y 'all told me Kobe was still that apex predator that's what y 'all told me that's what Laker Nation told me that's what you told me
11:40Shannon Sharpe:oh we know Bron's numbers. No, no, no, no, no, Joe. Don't surprise it. Don't surprise it. Don't spoil the surprise. Okay. I got a question before you read off Bron's numbers. During those times where Kobe's numbers were what they were, was he injured during that time? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. All I'm saying, the man 35, 36, 37. Mike got 40. Oh, so you're going to compare the numbers based on age at the same time? Hold on. Remember, LeBron didn't start the season. LeBron got hurt. Remember, he missed the first 15 games? Okay. Okay, yeah, yes, sir. Yeah. So this is what he did when he got to the Lakers.
12:1727, eight and a half, eight.
12:22Shannon Sharpe:Do you realize there have only been four players to average that? The O's counting up? I think it was. I think Oscar did it. I think Jordan did it. Russ did it. And Harden did it. But all of those guys did it before they turned 30. He did it at 32-33. These guys were doing it at 25-26. So what guys was doing at 25-26? Go James was doing it at 32-33. And then in the second year, he was 25-8-10 championship. And then he went 25-8-8. 30-8-6. 29-8-7. 26-7-8. last year, moving to the second option with Luka there. He gave you a robust 24. What was it, 24, 8, and 7? And then this year, yeah, he gave you a little 24 spot at the second option to Luka.
13:25Shannon Sharpe:He gave you 24, 8, and 8. And then this year, at the third option, 21, 6, and 7, shooting 51%, basically 52 % from the floor. Has he ever shot less than 50 % when he was with the Lakers?
13:51He shot 40.
13:54Shannon Sharpe:Okay. The year they won the championship. So his second year there, when he averaged 25, 8, and 10, he shot 49.3%. Other than that, Joe, he's never shot less than 50 % from the Lakers. I don't think people understand how tough that is to do like to be that efficient especially as you get up in age bro the man 41 years old what did he shot this year 51 % I think 51.5 bro that's I guarantee you nobody's ever done that
14:36Shannon Sharpe:he can't do enough good if he walk on water people say the only reason he walking because he can't swim if he could swim he would swim in the water he wouldn't walk he cured cancer they say what about diabetes Ocho yeah you're right and you know the funny thing is about this conversation yes and you think about what Kobe means to LA yes you think about what Kobe means for the Lakers what he's done for that franchise you know from the time he got there, you know, to the time, to his untimely demise. Yes. Despite what he looked like towards the end of his career, I don't think there's anybody that can come to the Lakers and unsee what Kobe did.
15:18Just no matter what. Even what you're reading off the stats, even what you're reading off the facts and how great LeBron has been for them, those that are Kobe fans or those that appreciate what Kobe has done for them, nothing, nothing will unseat how they feel about that man. So when the conversation comes up.
15:36Shannon Sharpe:And nobody tried to. I understand. That'll be the equivalent of all of a sudden, Chase, Chase going to have better numbers than you. But that don't take away from what you did, nor is Chase trying to erase what you did. See, what people see, here's the problem that you're running into, Ocho. And Joe, correct me if I'm wrong, you step in at any point. because it was Kobe and LeBron for the longest period of time I can't get past that you trying to come make us forget about Kobe you trying to erase Kobe's legacy all those Kobe's legacy is enriched in Mount Rushmore cemented but people can't see I can't I can't look Kobe is Kobe.
16:27Shannon Sharpe:No matter how you slice it, Kobe is a top three Laker all time, no matter how you slice it. Some people say Kobe. Some people say Magic. Some people might slot Kareem. But however you slice it, he ain't getting out of the top three. Right. Right. There have been some other greats. You got Elgin Baylor. You got Wilt Chamberlain. You got Jerry West. You got James Worthy. You got Mikan. You got LeBron. Kobe ain't getting out of the top three. And that's okay. It's okay to say, man, Kobe is great, but LeBron is a bad... It's almost like if I say LeBron is bad, I'm saying Kobe ain't no good. Right.
17:07Shannon Sharpe:Right. See, that's what the problem is, Ocho. It's like if I say, man, T.O. was a bad boy, what about Ocho? Ocho was great, too. I'm talking about T.O. Right. If I say Jerry's good, oh, you don't like Moss? Man, you know what I love? You know what I love in the morning on my cereal, Ocho? Bananas. Why you don't put blueberries on them? Damn, I don't dislike blueberries. I'm saying, I'm highlighting, I like bananas. You can like what you want. Yeah. But to say, I hate LeBron, and he ain't being good for the Lakers, you're not being just, you're being disingenuous. Okay. I got you. Facts, facts.
17:45Shannon Sharpe:I think, and when you think about it, the fact that Kobe, that was the only team that Kobe ever played for was the Lakers. You know what I mean? He won, what, five titles? And, you know, yeah, they have had a disdain for LeBron over the years. When he won the Lakers, when you won the Lakers and you come playing against Kobe and y 'all, Amano, Amano, yeah, they had a disdain for him. And the fact that he's probably moved around to a few different franchises and left his stain, you know, I mean, they embraced him, don't get me wrong. But, yeah, They would never put him over Kobe. Nor should they.
18:22Shannon Sharpe:And he didn't go there to try to be. He wanted to go. Because think about it. We just read off what they were before he got there. Right. They was winning 17 games, Ocho. 27 games. You was damn near getting a lot. You was damn near getting the number one overall pick. It's okay. I like Kobe. I love Kobe, too. Yeah. Kobe and Bron were my two favorite players. Kobe was my favorite player before LeBron. Burns is from D.C. Prince George County. He knew about Kevin Durant. I ain't know nothing about Kevin Durant. He said, hey, Sean, let me tell you what I do. I'll give you LeBron if you let me get Kevin Durant because it was my turn to take the next great player coming out of college.
19:08Shannon Sharpe:So it was my turn to get KD. He wanted KD because KD was from his neck of the woods. I already had Kobe. I said, hold on, you going to give me LeBron and I still got COVID for Kevin Durant? Oh, yeah, I jumped on that with both feet. I jumped on that. Oh, Joe, Joe, I jumped on that with both feet. Yeah. I got one in the East and one in the West, and all you want is Kevin Durant. Man, please. Got it. You remember they thought they was going to the finals and LeBron averaged 38-8-8, and Orlando put them out? You remember they had the Muppet Series? with Kobe and LeBron. I still got a t-shirt. Now, y 'all know how long ago that's been.
19:52Shannon Sharpe:That's been, what, 2018? I still got a t-shirt 16 years later with LeBron and Kobe and the puppets on it. Y 'all remember the commercial you used to have on and Kobe be going crazy and LeBron said, come on, Kobe, man, stop. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I used to like them. You can, look, I can love a player, but I ain't going to hate the, man, look. What I look like hating? What Ocho looked like hating somebody? Ocho, prime example. You could have, I mean, I think it helped because you and T.O. was best friends before he ever arrived in Cincinnati. Yeah. But if somebody came and they're trying to help you win a championship, man, I don't know why.
20:33Shannon Sharpe:The fans, they're going to say, man, I don't know why he came here. We got Ocho. Ocho, I got. Ocho can still be y 'all guy. But I'm trying to help Ocho. Ocho want me to come help him get a championship. Hey. Yeah. Hey, Joe. What's that? I stood on that table while I was in Mike Brown's office. I told Marvin, man, go get 81. I don't care what you got to do. I don't care what, man, go get 81, boy. Boy, I'm talking about that was such a joy. I was like a little kid in the candy store, Joe. Just knowing my dog was coming to play with me. I'm getting ready to be able to play with one of the best in the world, boy, Joe.
21:10I'm talking about top three all time, Joe. We on the same team? Yeah. Oh, yeah, Joe. I told him, you get there, boy. I ain't got no problem being Robin the Batman. Oh, I'm taking a backseat, Joe. Absolutely.
21:23Shannon Sharpe:Think about that. Think about that, what Ocho had done for that organization. At that point in time, Ocho was the best receiver. I joked with him and, you know, talk about downtown Freddie Brown or I talk about Ike Curtis. Yeah. Green, A.J. Green, you had slim pickings. I was in the era with slim pickings. I was like, but Ocho, Ocho was the best. And for him to say, you know what? I slide to number two. Yeah. Quick, after six Pro Bowls in a 10-year span, all pro, the leading receiver. There ain't many guys going to do that. Hey, Joe, I understood what was coming. Joe, I understood what was coming into that building, boy.
22:03You hear me?
22:04Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, yeah. Hey, hey, was it more of obviously he was your partner, but did you look at it like, damn, I know he going to take a lot of pressure? No, no, no, no, because I didn't see it as pressure. I was going to get mine regardless. I understood with that dynamic how he could come help us and elevate us offensively. I understood what he could do in the slot on the outside. And then not only that, they were always playing design for me. And Joe, when I played, I didn't need a whole bunch of volume catches. All I needed was four or five catches a game. Joe, I'm getting off. I wasn't doing that off.

26:46Shannon Sharpe:at while i'm running you get what i'm saying that side impact is that collision because you gotta to realize, I catch this, I'm coming inside. Here come DT, here come Ian, here come line middle, here come middle backer. I don't want none of that, Joe. And you know what? And I could be honest, Joe. That's not my strength. With the ball in my hands, that ain't my goddamn strength. I can't do what Chase do. He bouncing off tackle, bouncing off linebacker. That ain't me. Don't you say, look here, I want to catch the ball, beat the corner, I run to safety. Man, I got out for the D He tackled the DN, the middle back, the safety corner.
27:25Shannon Sharpe:Oh, no. I don't want no part of that. I don't want no part of that.
27:34Shannon Sharpe:Steve Kerr has agreed to a two-year contract to return his head coach of the Warriors. The deal keeps Kerr as the highest paid in the NBA annually. He made at least 17 and a half million in the last season. Joe, there's Kerr coming back to the Warriors at least two more seasons. does that keep the band together? Does that keep Kerr, Steph, and Draymond together for at least two more years? Man, I don't know, fellas. I don't really know how they really feel about Draymond if y 'all just want me to be 100. I know he's a huge part of what they've done, the emotional leader that we always talk about, but I wonder how the coaches really feel about Draymond, how the front office really feel about him.
28:15Shannon Sharpe:You know what I mean? Yeah. Now, the question is, the better question, is that how do other teams feel? Do they feel he will be as valuable to their team as he was to the Warriors? Because I don't see – I mean, I ain't really heard people call him like, hey, man, y 'all trying to get up off Draymond? Because we'd love to have him. Do you see calls like that happening? I don't. Now, I'm not saying that he's – I'm saying he's great there for them in that system. but to take him somewhere else and ask him, what are you going to ask him to do? He's not a score. He's a, he still can do, he still can defend.
28:56Shannon Sharpe:He's, he's an okay rebounder. He can run your offense, but he don't have the shoe. He ain't got Steph and he doesn't have clay. So how valuable is he to another team as he was or is to the, the world? I don't know. Cause ain't nobody got no damn Steph Curry. and I just think that the chemistry that Draymond and Steph has, you know, nobody in the league has that, bro. And so, I mean, it's hard for me to see him playing somewhere else, Uncle Ocho, considering everything that he's done in Golden State, but he had a guy rid of Klay. I just think the one person who they ain't going to ever get rid of is Steph and Kirk.
29:35Shannon Sharpe:I don't think they're ever going to get rid of him. Steph is going to get frustrated. He's going to get frustrated because if you look at it, the way the team is built, the way the team is constructed, they're not constructed to win. So Steph, they're just doing, you know, stat padding. You know, you don't have a chance of winning another ring. I know you already got, what, four? You got four rings already, huh? I think correct. I think they do got to make some changes, though. Okay, I don't know what you're talking about. I mean, I don't know what changes they can really make or if they can even go out and get any big-time free agents.
30:04Shannon Sharpe:But, I mean, here, you was fighting to get in the play-in. Ain't no way you mean to tell me you bringing Steve Kerr back and y 'all coming back with this same team. No. No, I don't see that. You don't have a chance. You're in the play and you've been in the play in the last three years. Hey, what if Draymond does come back? Obviously, I think LeBron is gone. Do you see any scenario where LeBron ends up in Golden State next year? Yeah. Or is that far-fetched? I don't see that. Look, the Warriors wanted Draymond. I just don't know if – excuse me. The Warriors wanted LeBron, but I don't know if that's something that he was actively searching for.
30:45Shannon Sharpe:The question is, look, I don't. At the end of the day, what does LeBron want? I don't know how many$50 million,$60 million contracts are going to be out there, Joe. I'll just be honest. I understand he's a draw, but I don't know if I can bust my roster up, bring him on at that number. because at the end of the day, I'm trying to win a championship. That's what he wants. Hold on. You're trying to win a championship, but you're no closer than a championship with the roster you got now. And there's really nobody you can bring in that can get you closer to that championship. What are you talking about in the Lakers?
31:25I'm talking about over there in the Bay. In Golden State? Yeah.
31:31Shannon Sharpe:No. I just don't see it. I mean, you got Al Horford over there who's serviceable. But Al gotta be pushing 40, Joe. Al about 40. He's probably about five years younger than me. So, Al 40, I mean, Steph's gonna be what, 38? 38, 39? They're gonna be an old-ass team, boy. Yeah! Joe, you here, Joe? At some point in time, Joe, I know Joe, man, look. That's what the Rockets Oh, you had Scottie Pippen. You had Elijah Juan. You had – Barkley. I don't know if Clyde was still there. I think Clyde might have played one year. And Barkley. I'm not sure. And Barkley. They were way, way past their prime. Yeah.
32:19Shannon Sharpe:I mean, what do I hope that LeBron will be 42? Al Horford's 40. Steph will be 38. Draymond will be, what, 36, 37. I just don't know what we expect to do what with that. Yeah. Oh, Joe. I'll be 45 in June late June hey okay Joe okay 45 okay okay you know what I mean okay I mean nah you ain't getting up there listen I'm 58 Joe I still look like I'm 23 so you doing something right over there I used to be good I used to be real I'm glad you know you ain't no spring chicken I'm gonna show you you ain't either Yeah, Draymond just turned 36. Did he? He turned 36 in March. Yeah, it's going to be interesting what the Golden State, what the Warriors are going to do.
33:12I mean, they brought Kerr back, and I'm sure he got some changes he want to make.
33:19Shannon Sharpe:Steph is 38. He going to be 39 next year. He's special. LeBron going to be 42. He's special, though. He don't really count. Well, he missed a lot of time this year too, though. Yeah, he would hurt. What was wrong with him? Joe, he hurt his knee. Yeah, he hurt his knee. Yeah. Ah, shit. And guess what? And you start coming with greater regularity. Mm-hmm. Hey, Steph, if you need a nutritionist, holler at your boy. I'll get you right. Al Horford is 39. Hey, them boys. As a matter of fact, he'll be 40 his birthday in June. And them boys. Oh, what? I don't really know how far a 42-year-old, a 40-year-old, a 38-year-old.
34:09Shannon Sharpe:I don't know how far they're going to take you, Joe. I don't either. I just don't. Hey, they might be being slick now. You know when them lottery balls come up, Joe? Yeah, what you saying? I can see it play out. Let me see. Out of the blue, you know you got all these old, old players, right? But you know what? Hell. Steph just turned 38. Hey, we know something under the table. we're going to slide you a new two year right and we're going to make sure you get this lottery pick hey all I know is you fool around like David Stern ask the Timberwolves about trying to do contracts under the table what does it do to you set your ass way back voided the contract took the next three you couldn't have a first round pick and blew it up hey listen I'm just throwing scenarios out there that could be possible.
35:02Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yeah. It's possible. And then you got Jimmy. I mean, Jimmy Butler's still there, but Jimmy Butler's coming off an ACL injury. That's going to be tough, bro. They had a nice squad this year. Now, see if it happened. They don't remember who said it first. What's that? Didn't them boy get an early pick? An early lottery pick? for some reason that little ping pong ball say Warriors out the blue? I don't know about that, Ocho. I feel you. I still don't know how much that's going to help them, Ocho.
35:42Shannon Sharpe:They just need some young legs. They do need a big. And the bigs don't come now. They don't come from around the corner like they used to back in the day. It's hard to find a big now, boy. Hey, where a young bull from Purdue went? Who, Zach Eady? Yeah, where he went? Memphis. Okay. He played? I heard that. He's playing with Jada. He was getting money over there. Okay. Yeah. Trying to think about bigs. Yeah. They did big. So we'll see if they can, you know, they want to keep this thing together. I guess it's like, because I'm wondering how many years Steph got on his contract. Because that's going to be very, very interesting.
36:31Shannon Sharpe:I agree.
36:36Shannon Sharpe:He unrestricted free engine in 27. So he got this year. One year. 62 million. No, hold on. He's on the contract with Golden State through 26-27. He signed a one-year extension in August of 24. So he said to earn – yeah, so he got two years left. He got two years. So it – there you go. It coincides with what? The Steve Kerr contracts coincide with what? Steph Curry contract expiring. Draymond has this year on his contract a player option for 26-27. Mm-hmm.
37:19Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, they probably going to tell me. So they constructed it like that for a reason. Yeah. I think they're like, okay, Steph will let them know what he wants to do, and they'll do what they do. But I just don't see it. I just don't see Golden State being a serious threat anymore. The way is too deep now. Ooh. Hey, that window closed. OKC, Minnesota, the Spurs, the Nuggets. I just don't see it. I just don't. That window closed. That's why I think Curry going to have to team up with somebody. I just told you. I don't think he wants to go anywhere, Joe. I don't. Yeah, I wouldn't want to leave neither, but I don't see LeBron going to go to the state.
38:18Shannon Sharpe:if I if if you know Bron always wanted to play with Curry now but here's the thing if Bron leave if Bron just so happened to leave the Lakers I think he coming somewhere out east I don't know where but I think he come somewhere out east so he can get the hell out of that Western Conference that damn juggernaut out there well what you think about LeBron coming down here with uh put him on Detroit nah what you mean nah yeah what you mean with him out hey What you thinking about LeBron coming back to the heat with Giannis and Jock? You can't rule out now. He might go back home. Let's say Cleveland don't get up out of here.
39:02Shannon Sharpe:So what you gonna put? You gonna replace Harden with him? They gonna put all play together.
39:11You know he ain't got to have the ball in his hand now. Now, you know,
39:15Shannon Sharpe:some numbers gonna have to. but I think you want the ball in his hand. Huh? In that situation, because you want Donovan, you don't want, you know, Donovan like, hey, Donovan, do your thing off the ball.
39:30I'm just saying, man. Make that thing work, man. Set the pick for me, Joe. Nah, hell nah. You setting the pick for me. Shit, the devil is alive. Boy, you crazy as hell. You're not shooting ass. You guys set the pick, bro. Woo! Joe, man, set the pick for me, man. Matter of fact, you know what, Joe, get your ass out of the way. ISO. ISO, ISO, ISO, ISO. Clear that. Hey, hey, ump. Clear that. Clear that. Clear that. This is why you can't have nobody like this on your team,
40:03Shannon Sharpe:because he don't want to play his role. You know what I'm saying? He don't want to play his role. Hey, Joe. Hey, Joe, I know my role. What's your role? Get your ass out of my way. That ain't your role on our team. and we all on teams, that is not your role. Hold on, Joe. Joe, chill. Chill, Joe. Hey, Joe, if I was a basketball player, you hear me? You got to know, you got to understand your role. Boy, I'm the alpha, Joe. I'm the alpha. I'm running the ship. I'm steering this bitch. Now, when I pass it to you, you can do your thing. When I go on the bench, you can do your thing. Let me tell you what your role is.
40:39Shannon Sharpe:Your role is to hustle and play damn defense. That's your damn role. I need you to be a star in that role, okay? Right, right. Hey, Joe, let me tell you something. I need you to be a superstar role player. Hey, see, I don't think Joe understands who I am. Joe, I put butts in the seat. I could fill a stadium out by myself, Joe. So I definitely ain't playing no guy. I'm going to play defense, right? I'm going to sit in the chair, Joe. I'm going to slide them puppies, Joe. I'm going to slide them, you hear me? I'm going to slide them, right? but also people coming to see me for what I do on the offensive end Joe I'm going to make sure I throw you alive I'm going to make sure you get a highlighter too but you're going to be a defender a pick and roll guy, you're going to be the screener you know you're going to be doing all this Joe, if you're playing with me you're going to be DeAndre Ayton you're going to be I already know I can't even play on a team with dudes.
41:42Shannon Sharpe:I already know that. Hey, Joe, I'm playing. My man say, Joe, you're going to be De 'Andre A.
41:54I'm going to be A.
41:55Shannon Sharpe:What the hell? Hey, Joe, you got to think. You got to take the comparison to me in football and transition that in the basketball. It don't transition like that, bro. Oh, it's going to for me. It's going to for me. Joe, the people coming to see me, man. What you talking about? Your shooting ability ain't like that, Ojo. We just got to be 100. But you got to understand, let's just say this was my sport. If it was my sport, therefore everything you just mentioned will be up to par based on who I am. Okay, so if we were playing football, who would I be in football then? If we're football, you'd be like, damn, what's a good comparison for Joe as a basketball player but in football?
42:46You going to be Mike Evans?
42:48Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, I like Mike. Oh, Mr. Consistency. Mr. Consistency. I like that. Mike's nice. I like that. Mike probably going to have a hell of a year over there in San Fran too. Man, Mike finna go slap-ass crazy over there, boy, in that offense. Hey, Ocho, the chat calling you Ocho Pernke. Who? They said you Kendrick Pernke. So you be sitting rebound and sitting picks. See? See? The chat tripping. The chat tripping. Hey, I think the chat. Boy, y 'all better YouTube and Google me. Stop playing me. Ocho, you were back in football. No, but I'm just saying if we're talking basketball, Think about me playing basketball from four years old all the way up.
43:34Shannon Sharpe:Yes, but you didn't. So we're talking about now. And you're talking about this man that played the sport. You were talking about he going to be DeAndre Ayton. And you going to be the guy that's shooting. You going to be Kobe. Yeah. Or you going to be Muford. No, no, no, no, no. I ain't going to be Kobe because I play too much. I play too much. Okay, you going to be Shea? No, no. Shea too serious. I need somebody to have fun playing the game. Ain't nobody making a whole lot of money. That's really good. that ain't made nobody serious about this. Unc, it got to be one NBA player that's really, really good, but made it fun.
44:08No?
44:10Shannon Sharpe:Mm-mm. I can see you being like Jed Vanderbilt. Like, I can see you being like a Vanderbilt dude who played for the Lakers. I can see you because he everywhere, Ocho. I mean, everywhere. Hell of an energy. You know what I mean? Got a nice look. But they don't throw him no balls. They don't give the rock to Ocho. Yeah, that ain't me. We just trying to keep it 100. Oh shit, hey, hey. We need him doing it. Ocho say he want the ball. Nah, hey, I can play off the ball though. I don't need the ball. I can play off the ball and I'm efficient as hell. I'm efficient. I'm efficient like Shade. Yeah, you're going to be getting a lot of layoffs.
44:48Shannon Sharpe:Okay. Hold up. What about Ant-Man? Ant-Man have fun. Hey, see? Bingo. That's the perfect example. I'm so damn fine now. Hey, that's the perfect example. Hey, hey, hey. No, no, no, no. Joe, Joe, think about it. Personality-wise, when the camera in front of him, Ant-Man is me. Yeah, personality-wise, but y 'all games ain't going to eat now. It's the same. On and off the court. We the same. Hey, having kids and shit, same shit. Ant-Man, that's me. Yeah.
45:22Hey.
45:29Shannon Sharpe:Uh-oh. Ocho. What happened? Drake appeared to take a shot at LeBron on 1 AM in Albany. Who? I shouldn't even been shocked to see you in that arena, because you always made a career off switching up teams. Damn. Who said this? Hey, I got a question. Now before, are we sure? Are we sure this wasn't AI and this is the part of the album Iceman that's coming out? Yeah. He also referenced LeBron, number, and another line saying, please stop asking what's going on with 23andMe. I'm a real one, and he's not. It's in my DNA. Damn. Yeah, I got to be careful with some of this stuff, especially on the internet.
46:18ain't no telling. I would, for me personally, I would wait until that album comes out because what we got? The album come out, what, May 14th?
46:27Shannon Sharpe:Man, don't start me to lie on May 14th tomorrow. It is? Yeah. Hey, chat, y 'all would know better. Do Iceman come out this month or is it next month? No, it come out this month. Tomorrow night? Oh, well, you're going to East Coast time because it's already it's already the 14th on the East Coast. But it comes out the 15th, Ocho and Joe. All right. I'm going to have to see what he got. Thursday night and midnight, which will be Friday morning. We'll be on then. We'll be on then, right? No. We off tomorrow. Nah, nah, nah, nah. I ain't got nothing to do. We need a break. I don't need... You and Joe did such a good job.

Joe say, Joe got it. Joe say he got this thing covered. Hey, so. Man, y 'all see that intro? That was, Joe, that was nice now. Hey, hey, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. I ain't been to hold you, Joe. That was nice. Hey, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. That's not fair. That's not fair. What's not fair? Joe reading from something, I went off the top of the head. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I went off the top of the head.
47:43So now if you, hey, hey, hey. Yo, I seen you put the script in front of you.

51:35Shannon Sharpe:Oh, Joe. Oh, Joe. He really didn't know he was supposed to be doing it. Because he was like, and I just told him, hey, Joe, you got the intro. Now, I don't know if he had, but I know. We didn't send him anything. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. You saw him put the clipboard right in front of him, right? He got the LaPorte scripting all down. Like, come on, man. What are we talking about? Listen, listen, listen, listen.

But listen, this is the thing. One thing about it, if you give me a script and it's in front of me and I'm reading it and I could be animated, he gonna lose it. They didn't give me. Let me finish. They didn't give me. Hey, let me tell you something. Hey, when you want to talk, raise your hand and I'll call on you, okay? Hey, you know how I am.

53:32Shannon Sharpe:Oh, Joe, we did not send Joe a script. We did not send him a script. Hey, listen. I'll tell you this. He looked at the intro and wrote everything down. I'll tell you that. He said the same things you say verbatim in his words. So what are we talking about? Oh, my goodness. and still

54:19Shannon Sharpe:hey matter of fact Like, hey, Ocho, he been listening. Because all this is, we never had a script. So even when I do the club Shay Shay, it ain't no script. That's just me. And over the years, you just rememberize it. Yeah. So I'm like, well, damn, we ain't got no intro. I tell you what, hey, listen. She say, no, you just go. Hey, listen, tomorrow, I mean, Friday, when we come Friday, right? Yeah. I'm going to do the intro. I'm going to change the intro completely. OK. I'm going to still talk about LaPortier.

Ocho, Ocho, I said they bring you for your feet, not your hands. I know, because I said that on yesterday's show, Joe, so you just added that to it. I said that yesterday, Joe.

56:54Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Yeah. Hey, Ocho, we can take some time off. Ocho got it. Joe got it. I got you. I'm telling you. Hey, look, that's how I was trying to show you all. I wasn't trying to show you up, Ocho. You know what I mean? Hey, Joe, you can't show me up, boy. This me. Look, look. Here he go. Here he go. I thought we were having real conversations. We have? I'm just letting you know this me. Are we going to have a conversation when we hit that court? Hey, hey, I'm in tears just thinking about this, boy. Hey. Ooh. Oh, man. But I feel bad because, you know, look, LeBron was, LeBron and Drake were close. They hung out together, you know.
57:38Shannon Sharpe:Bam! You know, LeBron used to get, I mean, when Drake drops, Drake would drop something. Obviously, LeBron would get an opportunity to listen to it first. I don't know. I just, hey. Man, you know, hey, them beefs go far, bro. They do, man. They do. Hey, if I'm beefing with somebody and you play a partner with them, hold on, I'm going to look at you sideways. Yeah, for sure. I got to cut everybody back. So the best thing is, if somebody beefing, just go ahead and stay up out of it. Right. You got to. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. You think I'm gonna let somebody got a problem with Ocho and you, no, whoa.
58:17Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. I've been trodden. Hey, matter of fact, you know what's funny too, Joe, when you think about it? If there's anybody in the world that really don't like me no matter what, that says more about them as opposed to me. I'm a very, Joe, I'm a very likable person, bro. Yeah. You hear me? Yeah, you are. You ain't gonna say nothing bad about nobody. Nah, I've been getting better. I've been getting better now. No, you getting better, but I'm saying even then, they're like, man, because even when you say something, people are going to think, they're going to think, well, he's just doing that for the show.
58:51Shannon Sharpe:He's just doing that for clicks. And they don't realize, look, that's my honest assessment. And you know, even for me to say something critical, I got to really sincerely, genuinely believe that, bro, I need you to give me better than that. Yeah. So if Ocho criticized you, Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going some Bulljotime. We're going some Bulljotime. We're going to go ahead and tell you what it is. It is.

59:33Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, I'm going to see what the King's talking about. I mean, but even if Drake album is good, you think people will give him the credit that he deserves? It depends on, like, hey, it depends on... It's going to have to be a monster. No, I think it's going to be good. I enjoy all the work that he's pretty much done, but I think he knows he probably wants to over-deliver in this. T.I. album come out in September? No, it come, no, it say on the 14th. No, it say September. Oh, September, okay. Yeah. September 25th.

Love you on Undisputed Man. Keep up the great work. Boom. That was it. I don't know the man like that I don't, you know, I listen to rap here and there, you know, I'm more of an old school type of guy, you know, I still listen to the old school rap, Daddy Kane, Tupac Biggie, stuff like that but Hey, hey, Chad, Chad, y 'all bear with me, I'm gonna try to see if I can get him as one of my guests when I take over when the ISO take over I got a decent relationship with him, I'm gonna see if I can get him on him, can I come on Oh, yeah, yeah.

Hey, we're going to have a good time, whether you're here or not. I'm going to be in the chat. Don't worry about it. I'm going to be somewhere with my feet kicked up with a Pinot Colado. With a Mai Tai? A who? A Mai Tai. My feet won't be... Top shelf. My feet won't be kicked up, but it might be.
1:02:05Shannon Sharpe:I'll be somewhere. I'll be somewhere. I'm going to really take a vacation. Guys, you know what? I'm going to really take some time. I'm going to really get away. I'm going to decompress. I'm going to put my phone on D &D. We're going to lose his mind with his phone on D &D. Don't call me either. Shut up. You lose it when an airplane doesn't have Wi-Fi. Yeah, oh, yeah. But ain't nothing worse than a plane not having Wi-Fi. Ooh. Man, I be sick. Hey, listen, depending on how far you're going, if you're going over water, it's going to be a little short period. Man, coming back from New York or Jersey.
1:02:45Shannon Sharpe:That's six hours coming back to Vegas. Ooh. No Wi-Fi? Man, I remember, I said, man, I tell this lady, this flight attendant, she said, here, you can use my pad. I said, you sleep like you real irritant. I said, can I use your phone? Can I use your Wi-Fi? She gave me her Wi-Fi code and everything. Hey. Yeah? Not having Wi-Fi hurt, boy. Oh, my goodness. Especially if you not sleepy and it's a long flight, anything over three hours and you got no Wi-Fi? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I be flying from Vegas to LA and it be killing me. That's why I try to sleep pretty much the flight.
1:03:29Shannon Sharpe:Hey, I'm going to be on D &D. Jordan be asleep. He don't even be on the face. Jordan be asleep. I ain't never seen nobody sleep like that. Jordan sleep like a six-year-old. He sleep from the location to the airport. He get on the plane. Knocked out. You look back there, Jordan got his hoodie on. Hey, that mean Jordan like... Yeah, he be snoring. Hey, Jordan, like when you have kids, you know, when you got kids that are young, you know, you put them in a car. When you can't get them to go to sleep, put them in a car and drive them around the corner real quick. I think you got narcolepsy. Hey, hold on.
1:04:06Shannon Sharpe:I'm going to tell y 'all something. That's me. I'll be asleep before the plane take off. I'm talking about going. Damn, Joe! Yeah, I'll be out of there. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey, look, I use them flights to get me some rest. Because it seems like the flight go by a lot quicker when you sleep. If you ain't sleep here, let's say like the flight long. It does. I mean, because we went to Cannes. B, Ash, Shelly, whoever's on the flight with us? Just me, you, and Shelly, right? And Jamie. I stayed up the whole while. Ash tried to sleep. No, you ain't finna sleep. I can't sleep. I did. Every time she tried to sleep, I let her get that thing good sleep.
1:04:47Shannon Sharpe:Hey, Ash, let me ask you something. No, I forgot what it was. Damn, my bad. I remember. I had to hold you now. Hey, listen. I flew from Atlanta to Vegas. You know, that probably, what, about four, four and a half hours? Man, I'm talking about out of there. Before the plane took off, look, the Stewart, she stayed tapping on me. She been tapping on me five minutes trying to wake me up. Hey, I need you to put your seatbelt on. Damn. Oh, that's what I do. I put that on. Hey, I go ahead and put that on. Because that's the one thing. I be sitting straight up. Because I don't want. because I, ooh, now you talking about like my grandma, you say, boy, hell flew all through me.
1:05:25Shannon Sharpe:Now I be dead asleep and they wake me up by the seatbelt and bring the seat up. Oh, man. I need you to let your seat up. We ain't took a wing, we ain't, come on, man. I just got it back a tad bit. I just need a little lean in there. I don't sleep. And I feel bad for people, especially when I'm in public. And if you sit next to me on the plane, especially in the exit row, boy, you better be ready to talk. No. Hey, Joe. I'm a yapper boy. I don't know you. I'm going to ask where you from, how you doing. How's your family? Do you like sports? But, Joe, I talk your head off. Random strangers. Random strangers.
1:06:05By the time we land, I'm going to know everything about you from A to Z.
1:06:11Shannon Sharpe:I'll be out of there. Most of the time, I mean, the only time is Shelly a fly. But Shelly don't sleep. So she constantly, you know, tapping me. but most of the time if I fly with somebody it's going to be either Shelly, my sister or Kayla. Ash, you know. But see Ash she don't say nothing when I be bringing back the food, when I bring back the shrimp or I bring back the short rib. She ain't got no problem me waking up then. Yeah. And everybody looking at her like, well how you get that? Now she ain't got no problem. She ain't got no problem waking me up. Because you know now they done cut out the food service.
1:06:46Shannon Sharpe:I mean what, 350 miles? anything less than$350, you don't get nothing. In the back, yeah. Nah, damn. For what? Man, do you see the price of them tickets now, Joe and Ocho? Ooh-wee. I'm glad I ain't got the guy. I got my sister coming out in three weeks. How much was it? Four weeks. A month. How much was it? Like two. Two what? $200? $2 ,000? And she flying. I don't think she flying. Well, she got to go to what you call her. She got like two or three stops. Right. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. It's hard, boy. It's hard to fly. That's crazy. I'm sure at some point the prices will go back down. Yes. Yeah.
1:07:36Shannon Sharpe:How much you think your flight was to fly for WWE, Ocho? Oh, shoot. I don't know how much it was, huh? Yeah. $2 ,500. It was what? Yes. y 'all gotta let me book my own stuff no we didn't let you book nothing we gotta make sure you get your ass here we're not letting you book anything I get that for the least price possible I don't care if I gotta have two three stops nah nah nah nah nah now my sister my sister can have a couple of stops cause she ain't on no schedule oh no you getting direct I'm trying to save y 'all money man You know, that's all I'm about. Well, I'm going to put your frequent fly miles.
1:08:21Shannon Sharpe:I'm going to get your frequent fly miles. Hey. You know what? I tell you what you do. If you stop smoking them people's hotel room, I'd greatly appreciate that. Because they kill him. They kill him by what you call him. For real? What you mean for real? Joe, that's bad talking about for real. Yeah, that's a charge, bro. When they, hey, you think you smoking on the low and them people don't know. When I smoke in the hotel. Oh, you're talking about out there. Every hotel room you go to. At the wind. OK, just that time. I mean, most of the time. Yeah, but some other time, yeah. OK, I got you. I got you.
1:08:56Shannon Sharpe:If you on ESPN or Netflix dime. Yeah. OK, I got you. I got you. But when you on Shea Shea Media dime, please go outside.
1:09:10Please.
1:09:10Shannon Sharpe:Please go outside. I got you. I got you. Yeah. And you know now, you know how to realize it. The prices ain't ever going back down. Oh, no, sir. They have to. They're out of the way. Hold on. And they're thinking about Frontier, thinking about they might have to close that door. So now, with less competition, how you going to get from point A to point B? Hey, but see, it's the funny thing about it. If they want to play that game, now certain people are going to have to stop flying, which you're going to see, everybody can't afford those tickets, especially not in this economy. So what's going to happen, they're going to be for Joe to make the prices is affordable.
1:09:45At some point, you have to. Everybody can't afford to fly like that.
1:09:50Shannon Sharpe:Hey, you right, but I just had to book a couple flights to Minnesota for next month for my daughter's volleyball tournament. Ooh. Yeah. Cost me a few grand. About$3 ,500,$3 ,600. Because I book a month in advance. I done booked my mom a ticket. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, I was going to bring the fam out there. I looked at them damn ticket prices. I said, hold on. It's just going to be me and baby girl. Ah, no. But hey, they going up. I mean, hey, a family? Yeah. A family of four, you got to fly first class. It's going to cost you about$11 ,000,$12 ,000. Woo.

I got some stuff need to come through that. Depends on what it is, as long as I get a percentage now. Man, look here. I'm going to do the best I can to make sure you guys fly first class and not have to buy comfort. That's the best I got. Hey, let me tell you something.
1:12:12When we have something to do, you do not have to put me in first class. Just sit, put me in the exit row, but I need the window seat. If I don't have the window seat, I'd be pissed off. I don't need no first class. I don't need all that.
