In short
Best-of segment featuring debates and stories from “Unc, Ocho and Iso Joe Part 1,” centered on LeBron vs. Steph GOAT/ring standards, LeBron’s adaptability (especially his three-point rise), a “cookout must-haves” draft game, and Iso Joe’s one-on-one challenge talk (including a proposed matchup vs. Michael Beasley). Later, they discuss Kevin Durant’s trade to the Rockets and the Suns’ rationale, plus locker-room fistfight rumors.
Guests (hosts/participants)
Iso Joe (former NBA player; 20,000 career points; 7-time All-Star; 6'9", 230 in the discussion) and Ocho (Unc/Uncle Ocho; long-time NBA perspective). No separate guest names beyond these recurring hosts; Beasley is discussed as a potential opponent.
Key claims
LeBron is held to a different standard due to longevity; his game evolution and top-tier three-point ability make him hard to guard. Iso Joe says he’s never lost one-on-one and demands “come correct” money for a Beasley matchup. They argue KD fits Houston better than Phoenix.
Notable examples
LeBron’s 40-year-old elite stat line (24-8-8 cited), LeBron’s historical scoring/assists/rebounds plus top-10 threes claim; cookout items list (ribs, baked beans, chicken, potato salad, watermelon, dominoes/cards, alcohol, but “no grill”); KD trade package discussion (Suns giving up Bridges, Cam Johnson, picks; Rockets keeping young core like Jalen Green, Sengun, Jabari Smith Jr., VanVleet).

2:10Shannon Sharpe:Who do you think Joe needs another title more, Steph or Bron? Ooh. I would say Bron. I say Bron. Yeah, man. Yeah. I say Bron. Even though they won one, even though he's won one already in LA, in the bubble, I think him get another one. I mean, he already, to a lot of people, you know, he's their GOAT. And he's going to have all the records when he's done, man. For him to capitalize and have another championship in LA. At the age of 40? I think it'll... What? I think it'll... Look. Look what he's doing at 40, man. Man, this is crazy. So, you know, we kind of get on him, you know, at times when he's not playing great, but you still have to realize that man is 40 years old and he's still out there putting up elite numbers.
2:59Shannon Sharpe:And he's going to end the season averaging 24-8 and 8 at the age of 40. Hey, a guy that's 25 averaging 24-8 and 8, that's a max contract guy. The guy's going to get 350. And he's 40. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hey, Joe, you think they hold LeBron at a different standard? obviously because of who he is, what he's been able to do, the longevity, the consistency, to be in year 22, to plan the way he's playing at 40. I, to me, I mean, if you ask me, I think maybe Steph would be more suited to be one to, to maybe need another ring as opposed to LeBron, the way I see it, you know, despite my, my lack there of exquisite knowledge of basketball, it seems like his legacy is already submitted, whether he wins another one or not.
3:46Shannon Sharpe:You talking about Steph? not to call LeBron. Nah, I think because LeBron has been great for so long. He's been in the game since he was 18 and man, 40 years old. Yeah. And he's played at a crazy level since he was 18. Elite level. You know what I mean? So this is new to all of us. Every point that goes down for him is in history books. We're looking at the leading score in NBA history. So I know we take you know, we don't take that in you know, you can't take that for granted for what he's doing and, you know, having longevity and still playing at this high level. So, you know, to some aspect, yeah, I want to see him win another one.
4:26Shannon Sharpe:Joe, what I tell you. Oh, mate. Go ahead, Ocho. Hey, hold on, hold on. Hey, Joe, I got to show you the ball LeBron gave me. He signed a 50K point ball for me. Let me see that joint. Oh, Ocho, you got to cut it out. You got to chill. You got to chill. You got to chill. Ocho, you got to chill. You got to chill. Hey, hey, you got to chill, my boy. Hey, you can't keep letting that man get away with this type of act, man. That man is on here tripping. Hey, you got to chill. Hey, Joe, what I tell people all the time, when you're a great player, and I'm sure you got this, they don't compare you to other players.
5:09Shannon Sharpe:They compare you to your younger self. As you started to get older, Joe, they say, man, I remember the 25-year-old Joe. He would have got that shot off. He'd have been able to get to the rim. He'd have been able to draw that foul. People looking at LeBron, they don't put forward zero. All they say, I remember LeBron would have rolled up and he'd have dunked it on him. I remember LeBron would have got all the way to the rim. They're not looking at the age. All they do is compare you to a younger version of yourself. Yeah, and obviously he don't have the athleticism that he wants. But he's so cerebral and smart at this stage and age of his game that it's even more impressive now to watch him than it is when he was 22 or 23.
5:56Yeah. So I enjoy it.
5:58Shannon Sharpe:I enjoy how his game has evolved and how he's kept up with the Joneses. Because when I came into the game, Uncle Nocho, guys weren't pump faking and side stepping and none of that. They weren't doing none of that. So, you know, he's learned all that as he's continued to play. and he's added and implemented so many different things in his game. The three ball. Because he wasn't a heavy three ball shooter when he got into the league either. Now he has the three ball. That's what really has helped him. Because what? He's like, he's top 10 in three point shots. We don't look over 11 ,000 rebounds, over 10 ,000 assists.
6:33Shannon Sharpe:We know the 40 plus thousand points. But something that we never thought that we would see that LeBron James would be top 10 in three points. And so the evolution, guys that can evolve, the greatest trick to survival is adaptability. He had to be able to adapt to the game as it evolved. And you see some of the other guys couldn't adapt to the game. And even though they were pretty good players, you know, I was listening to Melo talk. Melo said, man, I need to get to the mid-range. Well, they no longer wanted the mid-range because they don't value the mid-range. We need you to be a strong three-point shooter.
7:08Shannon Sharpe:We need you to be a catching three, three-point shooter. Yeah. I think that's what's made him tough to guard because if he's making that jump shot. Oh, it's over. Mm-hmm. Yeah. It's going to be a good night for him tonight. So, I think that's the key. Like, if he sees that first one go in, you know, it's going to be a long night for the defense. So, you know, he'll have you on your heels because if he's making it, then you got to shake his hand. and, you know, he's had unbelievable nights from the three, you know, from these past few years, especially this year. It's time for Rough Draft. Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
7:53I done beat you in Rough Draft the last three times.
7:57Shannon Sharpe:Man, first of all, ask me every time it comes time to, I'm going last. you know if you don't pick first now I'm going third on this one so by the time I go everything gonna be scrapped over and just alright Joe what we doing okay rough draft we gonna take turns your first Ocho second I'm last and what we're doing we're talking about cookout must haves things that if you're having a cookout you got to have Joe no repeats Joe, you up first.

Chicken. I don't even know what you drinking. Chicken potato salad. So let me ask you a question.
16:00Shannon Sharpe:Where you going to put your chicken at? Because most people bring their chicken, they got to have it on ice. You ain't got it. So your chicken already spoiled before you got there. It's cooked. It's cooked. Who? You cooking before you get to the cookout? They bring it. Everybody got something. Everybody bring it. They own separate things. Nah, Ocho. the only thing that you cook before is the potato salad and the baked beans. Man, ain't nobody cooking. That's the whole purpose of having a cookout. You don't bring no food. You don't bring no burgers and hot dogs and ribs and chicken already cooked.
16:33Shannon Sharpe:Man, listen. And y 'all know them baked beans gonna be slapping. I'm telling you, with that turkey meat and that man with them ribs. Nah, we want bacon. Ain't nobody no turkey meat. Ain't nothing gonna be cooked because ain't nobody picking the ribs. Everybody on First of all, ain't nobody eating nothing because ain't nobody got no grill.

We got chicken, potato salad, dessert. We got music. We got dominoes playing cards. We got hamburgers, glizzes, ice, potato chips, and alcohol. Man, who the hell forgot the grill? Man, I thought you was going to break it, Joe. Damn. Oh, Joe. It ain't missing but a couple things. Agree. The most important thing. When you're moving like I do, trips don't always come together weeks in advance. Sometimes production shoots, interviews, or something I've got to travel for on a short notice.

20:24Shannon Sharpe:Check this out. Stack and Mad Max want to see Michael Beasley and ISO Joe Neck. Take a listen to this, Joe. The only person I would like to see him play is Joe.
20:41I want to see him go against ISO. Yeah, ISO Joe. I like ISO Joe, but God damn, I just think these are... Joe got side of them too. Joe 6 '9", 230, Joe a monster. Yeah, that'll be tough. That'll be a good one.
21:01Shannon Sharpe:Joe, what you thinking, Joe? I think it'll be a great matchup. I'll tell y 'all something, man. I said... Hey, come on, Joe. Don't give me no piece of answer, man. Talk that shit, man. Just listen. I sat down and talked to them guys with Next Chapter before they picked Lance Stevenson. And Ocho, I'm going to be honest with you. Like, man, when we sat down and talked, don't diminish my career, bro, and what I've done. Like, we sat down, you talking about, oh, man, you and Beasley had great NBA careers. Man, I got 20 ,000 points. There's only 52 guys in the world with 20 ,000 points. Talk that. Come on, man.
21:38Shannon Sharpe:I wasn't a one hit wonder, two hit wonder. Like, I did my thing, man. Don't diminish what I've done. You know, I ain't saying what Beasley done. I'm just saying, don't come to me with this piss poor ass offer and think I'm just going to jump, I'm just going to jump board now. If y 'all want to make this thing legit and we doing it, however you say, boxing style, then come at me correct, man. But I mean, I'll be, I'll be, I'll be, I'll be, what it take, what, 250 ,000, Joe, that'll get you? I don't know. We got - Nah, Joe ain't doing it. Boy, did you just hear? 20 ,000 points. Seven-time NBA All-Star.
22:12Shannon Sharpe:We need 500 ,000 to battle. We're going to have to negotiate this. You're going to have to come at me right, man. If you don't come at me right, I ain't the guy to go back and forth, which I'm just going to be like, oh, okay, cool. And I'm going to keep it moving. You know what I mean? Right. Yeah. Hey, Joe said I ain't got no habit now. So if y 'all think I need money because I got a habit, I don't got one. Man, listen. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on, Joe. Joe and Unk. Listen. Unk, you should have known. they should have known not to play with Joe when he was on the show talking about he got property.
22:38Shannon Sharpe:On my property. He got to cut it out, Joe. He got to cut it out. He got to chill. What's wrong with it? I'm just being honest. Joe, you won't say it, so I'll say it for you. Man, don't play at me like that. Don't play at my top. I got money. I love competing, bro. I seen what him and Lance did and what they went through. That was a long, drawn-out process before the game itself. You know what I mean? like, bro, my time is valuable, homie. Come at me right. Yeah, go ahead. Make the money right. Give them sponsors and go ahead and say, hey, one-on-one, Beasley, and Isojo. Yeah. Make it right, man.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey, Ocho, man, if I go outside and fall on the ground, I'm a grow old tree, cause acorns gonna be in the soil.

26:36Shannon Sharpe:Hold on, how you got them cut short in the front and long in the back? It's got just a little tad, just a little tad. Hey, that's a new style, huh? Damn. Look, look. Well, hey, Joe, I'm about to have to put mine on backwards then. I need the front hanging down a little further. Hey, listen, I had my stuff on the day though, right, Joe? And I was down over in Aventura area. I was with my people. I was with my people. We were going to grab a little bite and whatnot. And I, you know, and, you know, my girl, you know, boom, she done shot off into the store. And I'm sitting there. I'm on the phone.
27:20I'm on the phone. And, you know, three girls come up and they all got on Luton Lemon. I'm like, oh, but I like what you got on. You know, you so handsome. I'm like, so I look behind me to see if somebody's in the setup, Ocho. Yeah, yeah. I thought it was a setup. I'm like, I really appreciate it. I thank you. and this is from a good friend of mine by the name of Joe Johnson. You know daddy down in Atlanta. He got a yoga studio. This is stuff. I told him, make sure you watch the show tonight and he will be able to do a better job of addressing where you can get it from because this is a care package.
28:01I told him, I'm never really on the end of receiving things, but I just happened to get this in the mail and I put it on. Hey man, I appreciate y 'all. I know they probably watching right now.
28:10Shannon Sharpe:I appreciate y 'all. All they got to do is go to theisoyoga.com and you can definitely place your orders on there. Unc, you need a big size, Unc. Yeah, hey, yeah. Nah, nah, let me wear that. Hey, Unc, it's about yoga. It ain't about being big. It's about - Oh, it's yo. Being comfortable within yourself. Yeah, without you dog saying it, Unc, I don't want to grow no oak trees, man.
28:41Shannon Sharpe:Hey, my shorts fit perfect. You don't wear your shorts that high now. Come on now. What you want me to wear? What you want? It's supposed to be, it's supposed to be, it's supposed to come above your knees, it's yoga. Let me see. These yoga shorts.
28:59Shannon Sharpe:Hey Joe, my shorts fit perfect. Look, I already know they're going to fit you right on the money. You see all the muscles? Man, you got your little thighs out and all that, man. Hey, Joe, hey. Hey, one thing about it, bro, I'm chiseled up, bro. I'm chiseled up, man. Like, head and toe, I got muscles in the toes. Hey, what's the year for Joe? Hey, man, come on, man. Come on, man. Come on, man. Oh, Joe. Hey, I'm getting perfect. I mean, can I get something at least to my knee? God dang. Oh, no, no. They don't come to you, they supposed to be above the knee, baby. Hey, these yoga shorts, he want to look like the Michigan basketball team back in the day.
29:33Look at me.
29:34Shannon Sharpe:Man, you got to have my thigh. I definitely got to have some tights on. Yeah, you got to have your tights on up under there. Look at this. Oh, man, you good. You put the shirt on, it's going to drape over there. He got me out there like Robin and Isaiah Thomas in Bad Boy Pistons.
29:55Hey, Joe, he won them five yoga shorts. We're in 2025, baby. Okay.
30:02Shannon Sharpe:We got to tighten up a little bit. Oh, man, that's funny. Hell, nah. Boy, y 'all something else. I like it. Hey, what is this goddamn material good, boy? Oh, yeah, man. You ought to take care of y 'all, man. Hey, look. Hey, where you got this from? Come on, now. Come on. Hey, I know it's probably Italian, huh? We got to talk about it off camera, Rochelle.

We pinned the link in the chat where you get the ISO joke here at.
30:37Shannon Sharpe:Man, hey, look, I appreciate y 'all. Hey, Rochelle, did he trust to have a back pocket? You need to use this back pocket material for some lint.

Like the time when I had the last minute trip to Denver and everything came together fast. Once it was locked in, I had to be ready to go. That's where Amazon Prime can make a difference.

33:43Shannon Sharpe:Hello, responding to Michael Beasley's challenge to play one-on-one. I'm not losing one-on-one game, bro. I've never lost a one-on-one game. I'm not saying I'm going out there playing. What I'm saying, I got ridiculed for doing this ish. At the highest level for being a one-on-one in. Joe, our DMs are flooded with people telling me to ask you if you'd beat Mellow one-on-one. I mean, I think I'd beat anybody. Okay, I think I'd beat anybody. Here's what I tell y 'all. I think the one-on-one game is very different versus, you know, playing in a five-on-five setting. You have isolation. Yeah. You know, one-on-one at the top.
34:20Shannon Sharpe:That's how you got the name, Isojo. Hey, man, I've been doing this for a long time now. I've been doing this for a long time. That's how you got it. Do they not understand what ISO means? But you know, as athletes, man, everybody feel like they can't be beat. But I tell you what, I tell y 'all what's going to happen. I think all these matchups, I do think they're going to happen. I think they may happen under different conditions, meaning we're going to have to get it together, get the sponsors right. But they definitely probably more than likely going to happen for sure. Because I know the fans want to see it.
34:53Shannon Sharpe:Look, anywhere I go, since we brought this topic up or since Lance and Beasley has played, this is all the talk has been about. So I know the people, I know the chat want to see it. I know everybody want to see it. So I'm sure it's going to happen. Yeah. I think that's dope too. A different dynamic, you know, for those that aren't playing in a structured environment, 5v5 anymore, and have competition, a one-on-one competition. And it's something that can continue to, this can be big. That's what I'm saying, Ocho. That's all I'm saying. It can become very, very big. And somebody sitting on the meal ticket, somebody sitting on the golden oose or golden egg, whatever you want to call it, for NBA players.
35:33And this can also falter into other sports, too.
35:39Shannon Sharpe:What? When you're talking about one-on-one sitting. Yeah, one-on-one sitting. Listen, it could be football. It could be basketball. I'm not sure if there's anything else outside of that that would be interesting to us culturally that people want to see but football and basketball would be really really good I know everybody want to see these basketball matchups man and they're going it'll be fun it'll be interesting as well it's something I'm very intrigued about so it's going to happen we're going to do it for the culture we're going to do it for the fans for sure it got to make sense first now we ain't just Hey, we ain't just getting out there.
36:16Hello, hello.
36:18Shannon Sharpe:There you go. No, hell no. You got to make, if you make dollars, it makes sense. Here we go. Here we go. Hey. Kevin Durant has been traded to the Rockets. The Suns traded KD to the Rockets with Jalen Green, Dylan Brooks, the number 10 pick in the 2025 draft, five second round picks. KD was at Fanatics Fest when someone captured the moment when KD and his agent Rich Kleiman found out. Let's take a look at this video, guys.
37:05Shannon Sharpe:So, I'm not surprised by this. There was only a handful of teams that had maybe some players and the pick, the compensation. The Suns messed this up. Look, I like Matt Ishba. I've met him several times. He's a great guy. But he gave up too much to get Kevin Durant. And he was never going to reciprocate that because he's two years older than when you got him. So now you're not going to be able, what you gave up to get him, you're not going to be able to get that back. We know you want him gone. He knows you want him gone. And everybody else knows you want him gone. And so, Ocho, plus Miami. They turned down Miami's package because I told you they didn't have enough to get.
37:45Shannon Sharpe:They didn't have anything. Jaime Hawkins, Harvick, Highsmith. What? I have a question, though. Something you just said, right? Yes. Kevin Durant, one of the prolific scorers of all time. You said Ishba did too much to get him. Gave up too much to get him, yes. But because of the player he is, that's why he did what he had to do to actually get a player that magnitude. Now, the reason you got him was you hope what you put and invested into him, you hope it turned out and came to fruition. It just didn't. And normally when you buy a car, when you buy a car off the car lot, right, and as soon as you drive it off, what does it do?
38:25It depreciates. Well, so you understand when you get a player that magnitude, as great as he is, as great as he is, and he's older now, you're still not going to get back what you bought for him.
38:34Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, but I think the thing is that when you look at what you look, okay, you got KD and Book. Did you really need Bradley Beal? Did you really need Bradley Beal? Or do I need to secure my, do I need to get depth for my bench? So now I take trade more draft capital and give up more players. So now they don't have a first round pick until 20, 13, one. You do realize it's 2025, right? Well, and that's why I think it's a good trade for Phoenix though. If you're talking about Phoenix is going to be able to do some of these things and possibly get a pick and all this. Again, Kevin Durant, to me, goes there.
39:15I think instantly, to me, he makes them more viable. When I think about having a score with them young bulls he got playing with him over there, I don't... I make that trade all day.
39:26Shannon Sharpe:I love Kevin Durant. I like him better in Houston than I did in Phoenix. I agree. Because you got Shingun. You got Shingun. You got and Van Fleet, you were able to keep Jabari Smith Jr. So now, and plus, the problem that Houston had, they had the second-best record in the West, 52 wins, but they didn't have a guy that you can give the ball to late in the ballgame and go get you a bucket. You now have that. Yeah, how long, though, Joe? I know you ISO, Joe. I know. It had to be about 36, 37. He 37. He 37. You're telling me you're going to let, and I love KD, but you're putting him in a position where you're going to have him carry your team late to go get buckets?
40:14Shannon Sharpe:I think he's going to be – I think he's naturally going to do that late in games. I love the fact that he's with a bunch of young cats, like some grimy young cats who are going to work hard, play hard. And he ain't going to have – I don't think he's going to have to do a lot of heavy lifting, guys. They got some guys who can play over there. You know what I mean? They got some guys who are going to come into their own. Obviously, they're going to play through Shingun. and like you said, I'm glad they kept Jabari Smith, another tall, long, long guy who can shoot the ball, who can post up, who can play multiple positions and led by Van Fleet.
40:46Shannon Sharpe:I think they have a great team over there. And I think KD can put them over the hump. I don't think it's going to be rigorous on them as far as, you know, him trying to carry that team. I think collectively they're going to do a great job. Now, naturally, he's going to be the cream of the crop when it comes to scoring the basketball because he does it so well and it comes so easy to him. I mean, and plus you got three guys, 6 '10 or better. You got 6 '11 KD. You got 6 '11 Shingun. You got 6 '10 Jabari Parker. You got Armin Thompson at 6 '7. You got Van Fleet that can run to – I like this. I like – like I said, I like KD here more than I liked him in Phoenix because all you had was offense.
41:28Shannon Sharpe:They didn't have rebounding. They didn't have rim protecting. They didn't have great depth. because think about what you gave up to get it you gave up your best defender in mikhail bridges you gave up a young cam johnson you gave up what three uh first round draft picks that's an awful lot to give up for a guy and now and now you go trade for bradley bill which weakens you even more as far as draft compensation and depth for your bench these teams that played in the nba finals what do they have yeah depth depth now they might not be as good as the big three for phoenix but Phoenix said once you got Book and KD out of the game, not one.
42:07Shannon Sharpe:Hey, look, my question is what is Phoenix going to look like with Devin Booker, Jalen Green, and Bradley Beal? I mean, them three are pretty much the same guy. You know what I mean? I said that when they got real. Watch out, Joe. One of the things that could happen, and I've been hearing this, that there might be a possibility of Boston making moves. What's going to happen? Are you going to keep Porzingis here? You have a big hole over there in Phoenix right now. Can you go out and get one of those guys for Boston and make and get that pick or want to give that pick up for maybe Porzingis to put him in that position?
42:46You know, Joe, that once you get traded to a team, doesn't necessarily mean you need to stop changing. You know, your bags don't need to be unpacked. You need to keep that bag back because you might be moving on in the new NBA.
42:59Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Right. Yeah. uh rocket fans don't seem to be happy with the kd trade one tweeted it happened today was my last day as a rocket fan i wish the worst and the absolute worst on this franchise trading a 23 year old superstar for a washed 40 year old and genuinely the worst thing you could ever do i hope kd retires next season and that the franchise completely crumbles damn kd kd also spoke to Kay Adams today and said Phoenix wanted him gone. Let's take a listen to what Katie had to say. Last one for you. A lot of Heartbroken Suns fans right now. What would you like to say? That's not true. No, literally.
43:41Shannon Sharpe:Heartbroken Suns fan right over there. I just felt like, yeah, they wanted me to go. So I was like, I'm glad we both, you know, they got what they wanted, got what I wanted. So we can move on and good luck to them going forward. Always remember my time there, but we want something else.
44:01Shannon Sharpe:I don't see nothing wrong with what he said because it wasn't him who came to them asking and looking for a trade he found out they were trying to trade him as athletes we know it's basically saying you don't want us okay it's somebody out there who will take me it's somebody out there who do want me and he was able to give them a few teams that he wanted to go play with so give the Suns credit for even trading them to Houston, Texas to Texas because that was one of the stops that he wanted to go. Well, he knew the Suns, excuse me, the Rockets, the Spurs. No, yeah, the Rockets, the Spurs, Brooklyn, were really the only handful of teams that had the draft capital to go get him.
44:47Shannon Sharpe:So he had no choice. I mean, he couldn't go to Miami because Miami don't have anything to offer for him. Your two best players are untouchable. Tyler Hero and Bam. And you see the package, Jaime Hawkins Jr., Havich, Highsmith. They're like, absolutely not. Absolutely not. But, dudes, what did we think then? Because they had to make that move. You know how bad they were offensively and defense. And the only person other than book that you're going to get anything for on that team was KD. So, in his case, they had to make that move. They had to go out and say, dude, you can go on. And here's the thing that me and Joe love about this.
45:27So where'd they go? Oh, I know. To a damn state that they ain't got no damn stadium contact. How about that? How about that?
45:37Shannon Sharpe:There was a back and forth. Boogie Cousins, a few days ago, regarding the report, the Suns had multiple fistfights in the locker room. Kevin Durant says, I have to contest this 94-footer. This some bulljive to throw on us. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we were trashed this year, ha, ha, ha. but we never got close to this. Never. The Phoenix Sun reportedly had multiple fist fights in the locker room per Boogie Cousins. Boogie says, the source was one of your teammates, killer. I ain't referencing you, referring to you. Save that ish for the other homies. Hey, anytime, hey, Unc Joe, Brett, anytime something like that get out, you know, it always come from one of the players.
46:20Yeah, it come from locker room. Always. That's the only time. I hate when stuff like that happens too, man. You know, I hate when dudes be chatty-patty. When something goes on in the locker room, it's supposed to stay right there. It's supposed to stay right there. Because guys be pillow talking. And, okay, fist fight. Man, everybody fight. Who don't fight? It happens. Unc, in training camp. Did y 'all fight in training camp? Yep. You know, I mean, it happens all the time. Whatever happened in the locker room, it stayed in the locker room.
46:50Shannon Sharpe:If you didn't cap, if that didn't cap. No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't. Shannon, it doesn't stay. No, I'm saying I know you didn't. But here's what happened. As you say right now, it's pillow talk. You go tell your wife something. You go tell your girlfriend. You know how those stories go. You tell her. She tells somebody else. And then it's all is gone in the woods. So a lot of times what we have in the NBA are wives and girlfriends, and now it's moms who have a lot of shit going on because they have a lot of power now. It's not like back in the day. Back in the day, girlfriends were quiet. They used to say nothing about no damn basketball.
47:34They talked about everything else, but not about basketball. Now they think they're playing the damn game. I'm like, really? You don't play? I didn't see you on the other side. I didn't.
