Nightcap Hour 1: TROUBLE in the BUSS Family Over Lakers + Mark Walter’s SHORT Lakers ERA + NBA PUSHES BACK on Kawhi x Clippers INVESTIGATION

25:21Shannon Sharpe:They didn't care. They didn't even let you know, they didn't get, Because they want to embarrass you. They got the people coming to my, man, I don't want to get, but I'm just saying. It took me a while to lose this anger because I was angry, I was hurt, and I didn't blame anybody but myself because I put myself, my behavior, my reckless behavior, put myself in here so I couldn't be mad at anybody but myself. But I'm like, damn, man. hey hey hey uh oh joe he showed up to my door i'm like damn how did a dude get in the gate who the hell is it look i go to the front door because you can see he's got some glass on the front door he got his phone right here it's it's recording recording yeah he recording but you know i ain't really really pay that much attention to i open the door i'm like damn what's up bro he said uh oh man sorry about that but i gotta hurry up and gave me my real hurry up and serve me wait Joe, you touched it.

26:22Shannon Sharpe:He served me in dip, Ojo. They got the record on. He got me on camera. Oh, so that's the show? Yeah. Actually, yes. Damn, man. Cold game, what? Ojo, I done been through it. So what the buses are going through, the anger and the frustration, we've always been close. It was my sister's responsibility to make sure my brother and I, and then when she got grown and was out doing her thing, it was my brother's responsibility. So we've always been close. Yeah, yes, we argued and we fight just like Norm. So I'm not finna sit here and say, oh, we didn't fight or I didn't try to bust my sister upside the head and she didn't make me cry and I didn't try to fight my brother.

27:06Shannon Sharpe:I tried to fight everybody. Hey, I ain't finna sit here and tell nobody that we had a perfect upbringing and we were always like, my brother and I was just like this. But we weren't. but man, it's, it's, it's tough, bro. It's tough. And so I'm not surprised. I'm really not surprised. Me neither. Considering how it was moving. And we saw this when she had a vote and she ousted the brothers before Joe and Ocho, you know, it's just a matter of time. We see it now. Everybody that wrong, the guy that's in this administration, everybody that wronged him, what's he doing? Getting rest of retribution.

27:45Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So I'm not surprised at all at this situation. I hate it like this. The Buss family is highly thought of. Dr. Jerry Buss and what he meant to that city and what the Lakers mean to that city. And to have them going, I can assure you, he's rolling over in his grave. Rest his soul, Dr. Buss. But he's rolling over in his grave. He did not want his kids to be like this. No, sir. No. But what can you do, Joe? And it's probably, think about this, it's probably bad during the holidays. They probably don't get together. You know what I mean? With this type of money, y 'all into it.

28:22Shannon Sharpe:Man, please. It's probably hard to be around somebody like that, bro. Hey, Joe. Hey, hold on. Who told a story about they had to stop people from fighting over$20? Who told that story? No. Joe, we talked about$20. Think about how they were acting about$20. Can you imagine? Ocho. Ocho. Ocho. I'm talking about to draw guns and everything, I want you over 20 bucks, bro. Over 20 bucks. So could you imagine billions though? I see people start, I had two aunts stop speaking for 30 years cause one of them said something about the other one. Hey, that ego and pride. And they live four blocks from each other for 30 years.

29:06Shannon Sharpe:And they ain't speak for 30? Yeah. Hey, ego and pride, bro. Man, Joe, man look here. People on my side of the family, man, their whole grudges, I had to get up out of there. I'm like, well damn. Because I used to be like that. I really was, I really was. I get, you know, if I broke up with somebody, I'm racing everybody, I'm racing you and everybody that I met while I'm with you. Yeah. They gone. Damn, whoa, time out. Hold on, hold on, hold on, Ocho. and then not only am I erasing them, but here when I see you, I'm acting like we never knew each other before. I don't keep on, yeah. I don't know, yeah.

29:47Wait, so everybody catching a straight because you broke up with the person that you went?

29:51Shannon Sharpe:Everybody that I met while we were together, they gone, you gone. Man, I'm in the grocery store and I see them and they don't see me. Yeah. I move on. I'll move on over to it. Hey, let me, hey, y 'all too petty, boy. Y 'all petty. Hey, because you build some great friendships and relationships with your partner's friends, you know, even though y 'all don't work out, they still be cool, no? I don't want you to break, you heard from such and such? Yeah, yeah, I don't want that, yeah. And if I don't hear from her again, that's too soon.

30:35Y 'all tough, boy, y 'all a tough crowd, man. Tough crowd.

30:38Shannon Sharpe:But it took me a while. Now, you know what, now I can make, I'm at peace. I'm at peace. Yes. I'm cool now. Because what I realized, Joe, out in Ocho, I was allowing people to hold my feelings hostage. They had gone on with their lives, but I was still in bondage. My emotions was tied up into what had happened in the relationship. So I wasn't free. Yeah. Yeah. Mary Porter used to always tell the boy, there can be no freedom without forgiveness. Just because you forgive somebody, that don't mean you have to bring them in your circle. That don't mean you have to be with them again. Anybody that has wronged you.

31:13Shannon Sharpe:I'm not just talking about an intimate, a personal relationship. I'm talking about somebody that was a friend. Just because you forgive said individual, that doesn't mean that you invite them back in. You'll be a big damn fool if you did something like that. Facts. I agree with you on that. Hey, you ever thought about this too, Uncle Joe? When it comes to forgiveness and forgiving people for things that they've done most of the time whether whether male or female most of the time you forgive somebody for doing something whatever it may be right you know as you move on in life and deal with other people you still run into those same problems no matter what it's it at times it's still the same thing joe you think about you think about your experience um about your experience with dating uh in the chat if you're if you're a woman if you're a if you left guys alone for a certain reason, or fellas, if you left a girl alone for a certain reason, you do realize you run into the same problem, the same baggage regardless of where you go.

32:11Until you find that person whose baggage you're willing to unpack, you're never going to find it as perfect as you'd like it.

32:16Shannon Sharpe:But Ocho, for me, it's more patterns for me. You know what I mean? It's like if I develop a pattern and then you start to break that pattern, then I'm going to notice that. You know what I mean? So I'm going to be like, hold on, bro. then I'm gonna bring it to the front, but outside of that, I'll be chilling. Bro, look, my upbringing has a lot to do with how I am. We didn't have much, that's been documented. What we did have, my grandma said, boy, we ain't got much, but let's try to keep it clean. We got cement floors. I don't know if you ever been in a warehouse with a cement floor, you splay water on the floor to try to keep the dust down.

32:55Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, yeah. That's what we had to do in our home. So we didn't have much. I remember the coffee table that was broken and we put Sears and Roebuck and JC Penney books to keep it from wobbling. I remember that. And so now I got some decent stuff. I ain't got nothing that's supposed to be on Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous. I ain't supposed to be in Better Homes and Garden. But it's nice, Florida. But it's mine. I work my ass off. Yeah. All I come. What'd you say? Better Homes and Garden. I'm not saying that my home is meticulous, but I just can't stand clutter. I can't stand junk. And if you know that, if I know something bothers you, I'm going to go out of my way to make sure I don't do that.

33:45Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. If I tell you leaving dishes in the sinks bothers me, don't do that. Right. If I say don't leave all this stuff, don't leave cups at the side of the bed. Don't do that. Because now you said, basically what you're telling me, you said, F you. I don't care what you say. I'm going to do what I want to do. I don't care what you pay for this house. I don't care what you say. I'm going to do what I want to do. Okay. All right. Never heard from you again. Okay. Don't worry about it. You're right. You end it right there, aunt? You're right. In my head. You right? You know what that mean though, Ocho?

34:29Shannon Sharpe:That you right mean when you leave here, girl, you never gonna hear from me ever again. You hear me? It's simple. Do you use the block button or no? Block, delete.

34:46Shannon Sharpe:Damn. Don't tell me, oh, you got OCD. You got this. don't tell me I got OCD at my place. Tell me I got OCD at your place. Tell me what an SOB I am at your place. Tell me what a mofo, no good something, you know what, what I am at your place. Don't tell me this at my house. Yeah. Come on, man. Because I can be whatever I want to be at mine, because I pay the cost to be the boss over here. Come on, man. Take your time. Let me look at your eyes. You ain't got no plate in your eye. You ain't got no broken collarbone. You ain't got no bilateral hair replacement. You ain't got no bone on bone in your knee.

35:24Shannon Sharpe:and you're going to tell me how to operate my places? No, we're not going to do that. Come on, man. No. I don't got a whole lot. Y 'all know my rules. I got two rules. I don't like messy and don't do, you know, hey, I don't need to talk about it, but don't be planting no gas around me. That's it. That's it. You can pretty much go and come as you want. You're going to see your family. I'm going to pay for you to go see your family. Hey, I want to go see my family. Okay. Hey, Shelly, book her ticket. She's going first class. And what, she wants you to go with her? No, I ain't going.

36:03Shannon Sharpe:I got work to do. I got work to do. That's it, man. I mean, that's a, hey, I just, I don't know, man. Like I said, I understand. But I just work so hard, and I just, hey, me and my brother tell you the same thing. I just wanted a house with running water and central heating and cooling. If I could just get an air condition and I could get running water, that's all I wanted for a house. I mean, think about that. Let that sink in for a second, Chad. You want a house. When you're growing up, you want a house that got running water and got air condition. That's all you want in your house. It ain't got to be no three, four, five bedrooms.

36:40Shannon Sharpe:It ain't got to be no six bathrooms. It ain't got to have no dead. It ain't got to have no. All you want is a house to have indoor plumbing and an air condition. Hello.

36:55Shannon Sharpe:I don't think that's asking too much, Ocho. Don't leave dishes in the sink. Nah, they ain't asking too much, bro. I mean, even though, look, when I do the dishwashers, I do the dishwasher, I put the dishes farther from the back coming forward. Because I don't want to have to pull the thing, keep pulling it further and further out and try to play stuff over. See, if I just go ahead and do that first, and now I can stack it back to front. Yeah. See, hey, see, Joe? See, Unc's supposed to be learning from me. What do you mean? Unc's supposed to be learning from me. What? Dishes? Plastic work. Girl, if you don't go to Publix and get some goddamn Dixie paper cups, some Dixie plates, we don't wash no dishes.

37:32Recyclable, recyclable. Oh, I do that, Ocho.

37:34Shannon Sharpe:But when they cook, the Ocho's when they cook. Yeah. Cook who? Cook what? You ain't running up my goddamn gas electricity. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. You gotta slow down, Turbo. Yeah, hey, hey, hey. Oh, no. Hey, Ark might have him a chef come through, man, lay down a nice spread. Yeah, for sure. I know, yeah. It's simple. It's one thing gonna be spread, it ain't gonna be no food. There you go. Depending on who it is, you mean it ain't gonna be no, it might be, I don't know. But imagine the lady cook for me, she's like, I really would like to expand, is chicken, chicken and rice.

38:14Shannon Sharpe:And that's it. Cube chicken, chicken fries, chicken breast.

38:22Shannon Sharpe:Broccoli. I don't like that. Every once in a while I let a Brad Chashee do some Brussels sprouts. Yeah, yeah. But that's about it, green beans. That's it. But like I said, I really, really hate to see when families argue because I know, and I'm like, like I said, I mean look, Joe you the only child. Ocho you got, I think it's just you and Chauncey, right Ocho? Nah, my brother Sam. So you got three of us. Joe, you by yourself. I just couldn't imagine. I just couldn't imagine arguing and beefing. At this age? Now, when I was younger, oh, yeah, I fight everybody. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, man, you know money is the root of all evil, fella.

39:09Shannon Sharpe:And when it's in, especially when we talking about this type of money, I don't give a damn who it is. I think it'll divide almost anybody, bro. When it's not run properly. When it's not run properly. Yeah. But I've always been, and the way we operated, and you hear my brother say, if I had, he was always going to be good. My sister had the toughest job, so my brother and I could live out our dreams. She had to watch the most important thing in our family, that was Mary Porter, because I needed to know she was all right. As long as I knew she was all right, everything that I needed to take care of was going to be great.

39:47Shannon Sharpe:That's how we thought. so she gave up her life she didn't go nowhere when my sister came in 1970 she never left my grandmother's home that's why y 'all make sure she straight make sure she straight that's how it supposed to be bro when she come out here and stay for a month to watch the dogs I still take care of my sister make sure everything okay with the insurance and everything the house, everything cause you know she like to play a little lottery you know Yeah, what she do?

48:26In 2015, teenager Joy Morgan discovered strangely compelling YouTube sermons from the religious group Israel United in Christ, or IUIC. Her initial curiosity developed into devotion. She distanced herself from friends and family, embraced new identity, immersed herself in the IUIC, and believed she'd found the truth. IUIC is the best family that I've ever had. In fact, she had found what many called a cult. And on Boxing Day 2018, Joy disappeared forever. In the new six-part investigative podcast, The Missing Sister, Charlie Brinkhurst Cuff and Free Turn explore Joy's story, the family she left, and the religious group she found.

After the surprise sale of the Lakers, Josh Kushner and Bob Iger, for a record-breaking$12.5 billion. More detail emerged by the former owner Mark Walters' brief tenure. The Athletic reported that under Walters' 14 months to leadership, the Lakers conducted multiple rounds of layoff and announced a significant increase in season ticket prices, with some raised more than 40%.

49:48Shannon Sharpe:While these moves were designed to increase profits, they created an era of uncertainty within the organization. It was weird vibe last year, one well-placed league source said of the team. It was reported that the initial expectations were for Walter's purchase of the Lakers to lead them from a family ownership post-new era modernization. But few of those changes took hold. Another business decision that raised eyebrows from moving a G League affiliate from inside El Segundo facility to Coachella near Palm Springs. The move reportedly frustrated Laker basketball executives because of the distance from the team, its developmental players, and coaches.

50:29Shannon Sharpe:he's under investigation some of his businesses are under allegedly and being reported that some of his businesses are under investigation for illegal loans or something of that nature I was reading today where he said by the end of the year that all he could make everything he could make it right how you gonna do that I guess by paying all these loans back you sold it for 10, 10 billion, 12 billion, whatever you got. So you got an extra 2.5 billion. It's being reported that he's looking to sell his stake in Chelsea. That's a nice little chunk of change. Hey, and they jacked the ticket prices up?

51:10Shannon Sharpe:As much as 40%, some say. Hey, 40 %? They must be talking about a court side or something. Hell yeah. It don't even matter, 40%, even if you're paying$300 for a ticket, Ocho. 30%. Yeah. 40%. That's still a, that's not, that's a$300 ticket, 420. Damn. And you can imagine if you paying thousands. Especially them courtside seats. I gotta call my guy and say, man, what them courtside hitting for? I'm gonna have to let you have that. Oh yeah, they done went up, partner. You can believe that. Yeah. Ooh. Hey, Joe, I can't be watching the game thinking about how much I spent. That ain't no fun way to watch something.

51:58Shannon Sharpe:Hey, hey, cause listen, them boy was paying top dollar for the Knicks boy in the garden for the finals. You see how much they made, Joe? They made nine home games. It's reported that they made somewhere between 20 and$21 million per home game. Damn. Wait, per home game? Per or throughout the playoffs? Not yet, they had nine home games in the playoffs. Right.

52:25Shannon Sharpe:Hey, bro. That's crazy. Nah, Jack's, uh, uh, Jack's, uh, keep those seats.

52:42Shannon Sharpe:Shock, shock. ESPN reported early today that the NBA has found no evidence showing LA Clippers owner Steve Barmer funneled money through the team sponsored to pay Kawhi Leonard in order to circumvent the salary cap. But a few hours later, the NBA spokesman, Mike Bass, issued a statement saying the ESPN article regarding the L.A. Clippers investigation for which the NBA declined to cooperate, contained numerous and significant inaccuracies. The result in this matter will be made clear once the investigation is concluded. Well, they got it. Well, they got they got to make up their mind. Now, is it is it concluded or is it not?

53:19I tell you what I tell you one thing I'm not sure being the Adam Silver is one that doesn't play he's different to David Stern

53:28Shannon Sharpe:he's more of a progressive, he's more friendlier he's more player friendly a little more leaner David Stern dropped the hammer on owners, players fans, it don't matter yeah he don't care but I'm just saying for a report to come out today that they found no evidence right then I mean at this point what left is there to talk about in general? Is Steve Ballmer, he's free, he's good to go so Kawhi can now go to Toronto Yes, but my question Joe is how does a player, because what's the likelihood Ocho you play for the Bengals these high end sponsors they paying you back then $5 million a year they're paying you$10 million a year.

54:18Shannon Sharpe:What's the likelihood of that? What's the likelihood of he having deals for$28 million, being reported to deal with for$28 million? What's the likelihood of that? You know what? I know he in L.A., and that's a huge market, and I know that's possible, but. I don't know. I'm trying to think what, unless you are messy, because here's the thing. It's not like his personality, he's not charismatic. He's not charming. If Kobe, yes. Magic Johnson, yes. Somebody that's charismatic, that's charming, that can woo, that I want him to have and he's going to come speak and carry on, that's not what Kawhi is.

55:00Shannon Sharpe:And that's not – that doesn't – Hey, as Joe would say, that don't make him no bad brother. Right. But I'm saying charismatic and charming is what sells. Yeah. That's why I thought it was fishy in the first place. I did too. I'm like, damn, how they have enough to pay him off the court 20-some million dollars? I mean, hey, bro, the type of money Balmer got, come on, man. You ain't going to be able to keep up with that. No. Yeah. But here's the thing. If it was an isolated incident, you got two. You got the Toronto Raptors reporting that he wanted outside stuff. You got the Lakers reporting it. And now you have a situation where some details that starts to arise and says, okay, look, this company and that company.

55:47Shannon Sharpe:And there were some emails. I think Pablo Torre dug up some other – somebody sent him some emails or something. Maybe there's a whistleblower or something going on. And this Daktronic, seemingly, it was probably one of the worst-kept secrets in the league, I guess. Oh, man, listen. They had to do a deep dive to try to catch him on this one, boy. hey that's way above my pay grade man I don't see nothing

56:19Shannon Sharpe:man I don't see what y 'all I don't see it it's right there where

56:28hey that's a good one that's a prime example of what's going on right now

56:32Shannon Sharpe:if I don't want to find nothing I ain't going to find it exactly Exactly. Because it's going to be a bad look, but all it does is it's going to give people, because they're going to say, we did this. All we did was what the Clippers did. Yeah. And now, literally, you got guys that they, if they just go show up, they do an autograph signing. They go up and take pictures. All you've done is open Pandora's box. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's just, look. Go ahead. Go ahead, don't you? You know what the good thing is, too? you know the good thing is too even if you set a precedent for other teams to be able to do it even if you have an open pandora's box is you have to understand there are only a handful of players like that that you have to do that with only only a handful we talk about kawaii lineman yeah you know this this is this is this is the this is privilege for the elite of the elite yeah how many elite of the elite are there in the nba only so what would i do for shay come on i do for yokich what would I do for Ant-Man what would I do for Yadis what would I do for Jason Tatum what would I do for Jason hey meaning if you're in a bidding war and you know he's teeter-tied from team to team like man I want to go here to the Lakers but I wouldn't mind coming to the Clippers man you got to do something to make me feel good hey you got to have you got to have some kind of incentive you got to have some kind of incentive team Ocho can give you that extra fifth year that might be for$70 million.

58:09Shannon Sharpe:You take it, you go, the other team can only give you four years. So how am I going to make it? I mean, I really want to come, but how am I going to make up$70 million? I like the way you think now. Yeah.

58:29Shannon Sharpe:Look, if somebody wants you bad enough, they can find to find a way to get it done. Oh yeah. And he got unlimited pockets. When you work the count, 178 billion, I don't know how, I mean think about it. Even one billion, if I spend a thousand dollars a day, every day I started spending it before Christ was born, I still couldn't spend it all in a lifetime. So imagine 178 billion. And what's 28 million dollars to him? nothing they ain't that's$17 ,000 okay that's$17 to the average person that's what $28 million is

59:21that's crazy just thinking about it

59:23Shannon Sharpe:yeah it is to have that kind of money that like really there is nothing in this world that you could not buy nothing and then you got Musk at$700 billion $240 billion $250 billion $230 billion and how Obama make his money he was the CEO Microsoft yes I only know that because I'm told because they take the shares and when the shares exploded you gotta realize, like probably when he took over, Microsoft was probably worth a couple hundred billion dollars. Now they are a one, two trillion dollar company. Shares exploded. That's why you get in something at the ground floor. Imagine all those seed people that put that seed money in.
