26:56No, like dead ass. No, he can run. Dead ass. He's basically Tyreek Hill, but he just able, with the ball at his feet, he moved just like that. Same way. Quickness, agility, being able to go, you know, lateral movement, the same thing. He's able to control the ball. Man, that Joe kicked the ball and take our runner

27:12Shannon Sharpe:that can't keep up with him. He pushed our ball out there in front. Yeah, it's a wrap. And how much running do you think the guy's doing in the soccer game, bro? Hey, it's a, ooh, Joe, that's a lot, boy. You know they got the, what you call them things? Hey, what you call them things they put on NFL players now? You got to wear it during the game? Got to let you know how many miles you ran? Yeah.

27:35Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, man, you all right? Got them a hostage tonight or something, don't you? Hey, Joe. You heard me, Joe? You know a little something? What's that? What you call them? Trackers. You know everybody wear them trackers on them. Oh, they track you, how much you sweat and all that? They got a vest underneath their jerseys. you let them know how much they run how many miles i'm gonna have to look that up bro i bet you it's a lot man that's a lot of damn running they doing out there why yeah that big ass feel hey i would hey i just want to stand back there in the back i want to be right there back next to the golden y 'all go down there and handle that i'll be right here when y 'all get back

28:15Shannon Sharpe:hey that's how you used to run out of gas yeah right there pour that put that can out the back Hey, you and the brother go down there and get that gas. Yeah. It's your car, you drive and you go get it. Me and Spangie hit the road. Nah, but if it's Congo, I thought you guys had it. I thought they did too, bro. That would have been dope, man. But Harry Kane, you know, Rooney and Wayne Rooney. That's who I mainly rate him. Wayne Rooney and what's the other one? Yeah. Yeah. Damn. It was some good game today. The Boston. Hey, I don't think this surprised anybody. We talked about this the other night, but the shocking news of the day.

29:01Shannon Sharpe:The Boston Celtics have agreed to trade Jalen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George, two first-round picks, two second-round picks. The Celtics originally was asking the Sixers to include VJ Edscombe in the trade. Boston asking price on Brown continued to fall over the past few weeks until they accepted a deal centered around Paul George and picks Jalen Brown. Now check this out. The NBA has now traded Paul George for Shea Gilgis, Jalen Brown, DeMonte Sabonis, Victor Oladipo, Denali Gallinari. seven first round picks, four pick swaps. Paul George has now become the most valuable player in NBA history.

29:47Shannon Sharpe:Joe, we had talked about this. We saw the writing on the wall that the Celtics was getting rid of Jalen Brown. And we can go in a little further depth, but when you heard this news, what was our first thing that went through your mind? Man, you know what? As we've been talking about this lately, I'm like, Like, with all these scenarios that's been coming out about Jalen Brown getting traded, I didn't really understand why. And for him to get traded, it doesn't surprise me, Ocho. But to send him to Philly for Paul George, obviously Boston's trying to save some money to some degree. You know what I mean?

30:25Shannon Sharpe:Knowing and understanding that, Ocho, yeah, we're going to have to deal with the riff of trading him today. And we understand that. But, hell, come next season, he going to be looking to re-up and get him another contract. And if we're dealing with this now, we can't continue to do business like that. So while he's hot, while he's still probably at his highest value, let's see what we can get for him. And I think they got – you know, I think it was a pretty even swap, for real, if you just want me to keep it 100. Highest even, Joe. With Paul George in that injury history. You get – what, you get two first-round picks?

30:59Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Listen, listen, listen. And what Boston is looking for, okay, I don't want people to have to riffraff between who's 1A and 1B and all that. They're a rapping folk. Listen, yeah, this clearly puts the pressure on Jason Tatum. Hell, without Jason Tatum, if Jalen Brown can lead us to a 3C, you know, if we put some capital pieces around JT. Hey, a 2C. and we put some comfortable pieces around JT, him knowing that he can lead us, I just think, man, they really didn't want to deal with Jalen Brown stuff, bro. Considering all the things that he said, they took an opportunity to be able to get up off for him.

31:38Shannon Sharpe:What you hope is that Paul George can be a consistent, valuable vet. You got – when I say consistent – When was the last time that happened, George? Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. We ain't asking him to score no 22 and 25 points a night. a very efficient 16 to 18 points a night is pretty good, man. They got a lot of pieces. Look, did y 'all forget that they went and got Mitchell Robinson from the Knicks? I knew that was going to happen. So listen, once you start winning, what do teams do? Okay, also, they start picking off your damn players. But I need you to answer me this. When was the last time Paul George was healthy enough to give you what you're asking from him?

32:20Shannon Sharpe:I didn't think he played bad in the postseason. Joe, the man missed damn near 40 games. But when he played, he – What do you mean he didn't play bad? I'm saying when his – listen, what I'm saying is we looking at what Paul George is making from a salary standpoint. He can't give you that production. What are you making, 54? What are you going to give you – So, hold on. You traded Jalen Brown because you said you wanted to get off contract. Jalen Brown gave you, without Jason Tatum, 29 points. With Jason Tatum, he's giving you somewhere around 22. So I need somebody, because guess what, Joe? If you leave your girl, you expected somebody to replace her.

32:58Shannon Sharpe:She gotta be just, look just as good, just as fine, cook just as well, and put it down in the sheets. If she can't do all that, what am I trading for? Oh, you ain't gonna get nothing that was comfortable. You lost out of - Well, I kept her. Look, look, look, look. I'm gonna keep with it. Look, look, look. You threw him out there, you lost out on Giannis. So this was your backup plan, hell. What else was you gonna do? you couldn't bring him back. Well, what you know what problem was is that you should have kept your mouth shut and let somebody come to you because you open your mouth. Everybody knew you wanted to get off on him and they knew you were going to catch hell bringing him back after all this, because no matter what the chat said that people say about the media, Jalen Brown is a very smart individual.

33:40Shannon Sharpe:That man with the Cal take, excuse me, Cal Berkeley. He knows all this information coming out. It ain't from no media. Now he get upset in the media that they're reporting it, but he knows it came from the Celtics. He knows that. And I think that's one of the reasons. So they know that, he know that, we can't bring it back. Because like you said, Brad Stevens said, we love Jalen Brown. But that don't mean his ass safe. But listen, this you got to understand. Jalen Brown was two steps ahead of everybody else. How long has house been up for sale, huh? How long has been up for sale? Oh yeah, yeah, the right was on the wall.

34:16That happened a long time ago. Obviously, the writing was already on the wall, and the player always knows before everybody else. Now, another thing where you know he was leaving, and Jalen Brown continues to talk. He continues to fire back and go back and forth with certain people, especially the higher-ups in position to power who have a voice. He loved going back and forth with them. That's another tall tale and sign that, you know what? I ain't going to be here anyway, so you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to do what most NBA players don't do. I'm going to go back and forth with him.

34:46yeah and again Jason Tatum yes they like him why do they like him because he's safe he's safe he's not going to say much Jalen Brown he's not safe he's fun he's entertaining he's a little edgy but when it's time to play basketball you know what you get Joe you get that boy

35:06Shannon Sharpe:you get that boy and Philly got that boy Philly got one now hey Ocho you said the writing was on the wall Guess who's writing? The Celtics? The Celtics up there doing graffiti.

35:25Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, yeah. They don't do a big old picture of Jalen Brown exiting, walking out the building. Yeah, yeah. While everybody kept saying, man, I remember when I was on Undisputed, they would get mad when we was having a conversation. You guys are trying to break. Y 'all trying to put them against each other. No, the Boston Celtics are pitting them against each other. We're just talking about it. We're doing our job. Don't get mad at the messenger. They had to pick a side. But this is the thing, Unk and Joe. They picked a side a long time ago. Go ahead, go ahead, Unk. As fans of the game, when you support a team, you always defend said team and the players that are on that team.

36:06And you're kind of blind to the fact of what the teams are trying to do internally. Me and you, we can see what they're doing. We know the noise coming from inside the house. We understand. Oh, I see what they trying to do. You peep game. But as a fan, you blind. And if you're blind, you really can't see it. You can't see what they trying to do.

36:25Shannon Sharpe:You just defend your players. They're not blind. The blindest person is the man that can't see. It's the blind that's choosing not to see. The Celtics fan chose not to see because it was easy to blame. You know what? The easiest thing to do is to blame someone else for your troubles. That is the easiest thing to do. So instead of saying, well, damn, why does this keep coming out? What is this stuff about JB and JT? Yada, yada, yada. What is this? It's easy to blame people that get on TV and talk for a living about it. Y 'all making up stories. I remember we were talking about it last year, Ocho.

37:02Shannon Sharpe:They talking about it must be a slow news day. No, no, no, no. It's fed up in a hurry, didn't it? It was slow. Now, I ain't one of them guys that sit back, but I told you, Joe, and I remember and I have this conversation. I said two$300 million contracts? Two? Jalen Brown is in line to get two years, $143 million extension as we sit here? Yeah. Jason Tatum is just what, in the second year, over$300 million of$317 million? JB signed a$306 million? Yeah. And he's due, he can sign a two-year extension for$143 million? Nah, nah, nah, nah. And then reading a little bit about it, somebody was covered today, the guy that's the front of the face of the Celtics, really he's the face of it, but he didn't put up the most money.

37:51Shannon Sharpe:He got a venture capitalist group, and they got more control. I told you this, Ocho. Yeah, I understand you talk about winning, winning, but they ain't really trying to go in that second apron. The objective is in a business. I'm going to spend as little as I possibly can to make as much as I possibly can. So having two,$300 million guys on my payroll, that ain't really conducive for business. No, sir. It's hard to build a team out like that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, hey, this. What? Jason Tatum. How old Jason Tatum? 27, 28? Yeah. Oh, Joe, guess what? In the next year. Guess what he going to be looking for?

38:27Shannon Sharpe:Oh, he finna re-up again? Two-year extension 150. He finna re-up again? Yeah, I'm sure, Liam. Yeah, he ain't. A year, either next year, 27 or 28, Jason Tatum going to be right back. That's going to be dope. Just in time to go to the Olympics. That's going to be dope. That's going to be dope for him. Hopefully, you know, God's grace, he stays healthy and comes back, you know, next season, obviously, being able to take the reins and lead that team the way we know and we've seen him do, you know, before his injury. So I'm happy. I'm happy with JT, man. I'm happy with JT. Tatum is 28 years of age.

38:58I'm happy with Jalen Brown, too. So now this is even worse. This is making it even worse. Now you think about all the noise, right, um? All the noise of the people counting the Celtics out because JT was hurt. What Jaden Brown came out and did. Led their head to a goddamn second seed, right? What you think he's going to do in Philly with another chip on the shoulder?

39:18Shannon Sharpe:Well, the difference is he got a ball stopper. He got another guy trying to cut his teeth and show that he's incredible. Maxie went to the all-star. He was an all-star. You got the one guy that you throw it in there. He clogging up the paint. You know, you got kids in the backseat and you can't turn around. You just hand the cookie back there. and they grab it and it don't come back that's mb when they throw the ball hey but hold on think of this think of this though doesn't that take some of the pressure off and b doesn't that take some of the pressure off maxi where you don't have to do much because now you can just defer to someone else who can get to it just like you can it's well listen it it should it should ocho but you know jb just coming off averaging 29 a game bro maxi average yeah maxi average 26 27 a game yeah so We know Embiid led the league in scoring.

40:05Shannon Sharpe:Take off, Joe. So you got Embiid, like Uncle said, he a ball stopper. I think he going to have to change his game more than anybody, Embiid. Because you got Maxie, Edgecombe, and Brown around Embiid. I think it can be great, but he can't be no ball stopper to where he's messing up the rhythm, bro. You know what I mean? Like you got some young thoroughbreds, some boys who can get out. JB going to be able to get heels on both ends of the floor. I think that's the most valuable piece. honestly because if he comes in he could be a lockdown defender and he's giving you roughly 22 to 25 a night i'm talking about efficiency he's gonna look he's gonna be looking to prove a lot of people wrong and he's gonna be looking to show how valuable he is meaning he's gonna be a winning piece to the right situation and i think hey hey i'm not mad at it bro i i i like him in Philly, if they can figure it out, if B can stay healthy, hell, maybe 60 games, okay, Ocho, can then B give us 60 games?

41:05You know what's funny? Even if you don't give you 60, you still got Max and you still got JV, even if you don't. And whoever they have in place, I'm sure they can not be in the middle, not be in the way and clogging up the goddamn paint so Max and JV can do what they need to do.

41:21Shannon Sharpe:Let me ask you a question, Ocho. What was your best receiver? What's the most yards you ever had in the season? 1 ,400? Yeah, 1 ,400. 14 something. So let's just say for the sake of argument, at 25, 26 years of age, you just had 1 ,500 receiving yards, oh, 95 catches, 13 touchdowns. And they bring a guy in your same age that just put up those same numbers somewhere else and say, Ocho, we want to take a little pressure off you. How you feeling? Oh, I mean. Okay, that's all I want to say. Because here we come. Once you get to that Pro Bowl and you see all them other guys in that Pro Bowl and how they talk.

41:57Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, good job, man. Hey, that's a bad boy right here, man. Ocho put that work in. But, you know, Ocho, we just bring another guy in to take some pressure off you. Hey, but hold on. Think about this, right? We've seen it many a time before, right? Think about Torrey Holt and Isaac Bruce. Think about Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison. Now, we've seen duos that operate and have 1 ,300 apiece on both sides of the ball. So I'm looking at it from that view standpoint where you got two people as a coach offensively, but hell, I got two dudes that can get it off the goddamn muscle. I ain't even got to do nothing.

42:31So in hindsight, I'm seeing it as a good thing as opposed to, goddamn, I got one A and one B. I'm looking at it a little different.

42:40Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. I think in basketball, when you got a guy like Embiid, if it's free-flowing, yeah, you can get that. Embiid is not a free-flowing player. He needs the ball and he needs to boot, boot, boot. I'm standing around. What am I supposed to do in the meantime, Joe? What am I supposed to do with what he's doing when he's backing up and he's looking to see if the double team's coming and he's steady backing up? What am I supposed to be doing? Look, your opportunity's going to come, but they're going to be far fewer in between. They ain't going to be like they used to. So the ones that you do get, Ocho, you know, you got to make them count, bro.

43:18Shannon Sharpe:You got to make them count. Because, see, once you're playing with a lot of talent like this, I feel like the NBA is running into this because you have a lot of guys teaming up, a lot of star players teaming up with other star players. Bro, it takes some, you know, sacrificing a little bit. You know what I mean? So you're going to have to. You can't come out thinking you're going to average 30 and you win Maxie, Edgecombe, and B. What I'm saying is, man, that efficient 22 a night, 24 a night that you probably can give them, going to be far better than you trying to get 30. You feel me? Like, I think they got...

43:53Shannon Sharpe:I'm with you, Ocho. I think they got enough players to where they can take pressure off one another and make the game a lot easier and simpler for them. And winning cures it all. Hell, if they winning, come on now. Hey, Philly, I know Philly. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hello. Boston just won and they broke it up. They just won the championship two years ago, Joe. Man, if... Let me ask your question, Joe. you say I sacrifice points but in sacrificing points guess what else I'm sacrificing an opportunity to be all NBA an opportunity to be all star and what guess what else that mean at the end of that all star and all pro excuse me all NBA is what max contract hold on we talk about two players that's been paid already and B them and paid already maximum paid

44:40Shannon Sharpe:shut your mouth shut your mouth you talk about I've been paid already What's better than A? Yeah, y 'all could be. Hey, hey. This man want another 300 million. You want the boy to double dip? Yeah. They want a double dip. You got to realize, JB is 29. Hey, hey, hey. And not only that, Maxie might be 24, 25. Oh, Maxie's going to get his regardless though. He already just signed. He want another one. Yeah, I'm just saying he going to get it anyway. Hey Joe, listen I'm not a basketball savant I don't have the knowledge of the game The way y 'all do, I just think those two Can operate together, I just think they do Oh I believe they can Yeah I think they can too I believe it'll be a little smoother If Embiid wasn't there Hey think about this What if they had a center like cat I'm not saying I'm not saying a cat would be there I'm just saying a center like cat that's not clogging up the paint That can boom Be out there with spacers.

45:42Like a stretch.

45:43Shannon Sharpe:I think MB can play that role to some degree because he's a good pick-and-pop big who can shoot the ball. But the thing is, man, every time we come down court, if you sitting on the block waiting for the ball, calling for the ball, then that's going to be a problem, Ocho. You got to set some of these up picks. Set me a screen right where I'm across half. That way I got a lot more real estate to work with. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, but every time we come down, I'm getting into my dance and you run down there posting up, damn. I need you to have to wait. I ain't trying to get through here.

46:12Hey, Joe, that's why you got to call play, Joe.

46:15Shannon Sharpe:No, no. Listen, what I'm saying, look, JB is good enough to where in transition, he's going to be a nightmare. Defensively, you know, he should get 6 to 10 points, 6 to 12 points off of defense alone. Just by being in the passing lane, being disruptive, stealing skills. He has that type of body. Him and Eshcombe. That's why I like this move for the Sixers, and I think they're going to cause a lot of hell, boy, in the Eastern Conference. Boy, you know what? The Celtics don't hold him in very high regard. Ain't no way in hell I'm trading a guy that was in the MVP discussion the whole year. That's the All-NBA selection who's a finals MVP of Eastern Conference, and I'm going to trade him to one of our bitter rivals?

46:59Shannon Sharpe:That's what I'm saying. That would kind of – That's how you – I don't – hey. You know what that means? Hey, baby, you can go date anybody you want to. Don't you date my home, boy? Hey, you know what that means? You know how bad you want to get rid of something to let them go? I'm using the NFL terms. You know how bad you got to let something go? If you play for Cincinnati, you say, you know what? Forget it. I'm going to ship him to Cleveland. You know what? Forget it. I'm going to ship him to Pittsburgh. You know what? Forget it. I'm going to ship him to the Ravens because I just want to get up off of him.

47:25You want off it.

47:27Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. You right? Damn, man. I ain't see this coming. I ain't going to lie to you. I did. You did see it coming. Not next door. All this talking. You saw it coming. No, no. You probably didn't see him going to Philly. But you know they had to move. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know that. But not to Philly, though. Damn. He probably could have kept his house. Because we've been talking about it. He leaving Boston. You know what else, too, Uncle Joe? I turned off news altogether. I hate to say it, but I don't trust much of anything. It's the rage bait. It feels like it's trying to divide people. If we got clear facts, maybe we can calm down a little.

If he was that Paul George in Indy, he was that Paul George when he was with Russell Westbrook in OKC, you got him at a bargain. Because that Paul George was a hellion on both ends of the court.

53:27Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. This Paul George right here. Hey, I think he – hey, hey, hold up. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. See, you can't – you looking at him, hell, when he averaging 26 a game. I ain't looking – I'm paying him like he averaging 26 a game. Yeah, I understand that. I understand that part. That's how he getting paid. But we got to be realistic. You know what I'm saying? He's going to Boston, bro. I think he can be a valuable piece. Is he going to do what Brown done? No, he ain't going to do that. Why the hell you moving? He going to be a great complimentary piece to Jason Tatum. Hell, we ain't going to have to deal with no riffraff neither, man.

54:01Shannon Sharpe:Jason Jalen Brown Jalen Brown again y 'all no real frown if you didn't if you didn't like me just say you didn't like me so it but y 'all smiling and cheesing in my face and all the while y 'all talking ish behind my back that's the problem I got I don't have no problem playing with JT. As a matter of fact, he and I get along great. Do we do anything off the court? Nah, that man got his life, I got mine. I'm okay with that. I didn't come to Boston to meet any new friends. I came to try to win a championship and improve and get better and contribute. That's what I came to Boston for. But this notion, y 'all pat me on my back and y 'all saying all this stuff to me all the while, y 'all leaking stuff.

54:48Shannon Sharpe:about this and about that. Yeah, yeah, it's gonna piss me off. Yeah. He knew that. He played, listen, he played it right though. He played his cards right. Hey, I know what, I know what. MB better be getting his ass in some shape because JB gonna call him out. You know Apple and Pears are shapes. Huh? Apple and Pears are shapes. Nah, JB gonna call him out. Hey, hey, JB coming over there to win. He ain't come over there to play no games, man. yeah he coming over to win Uncle Ocho yeah I mean listen I'm going to go get me another Joe you right I still think it's going to be a good thing I know Philly fans should be happy Philly fans should be happy you should be stoked it also should be encouraging to Embiid to know okay I got Maxie I got JB coming in I need to come in in the best shape of my life so I can not only contribute But I can also have a season where I can play as many games as possible and be as effective as possible.

55:49You know, that's my mindset. I'm not sure how Embiid thinks, but I think they're going to be nice. And now they are a contender too. They're a contender. As they continue to get assets, you know, now that free agency is going on right now, they're going to be a contender. One little move changes the trajectory of an organization.

56:10Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, I agree. I like them in the East. They'll definitely be contending. I'd say top five team in the East, top four or five team. But, yeah, if Embiid come in in shape, bro, and ready to go, ready to work, Ocho, like I say, I'm trying to be realistic here when I say him playing 60 games because if he's healthy and ready, bro, the chemistry and continuity should be there. You know what I mean? It's when he's not playing and those guys out there just free-flowing, you know what I mean, having fun, enjoying the game. And it looks a lot different. You feel me? When everybody gets a chance to touch the ball, now Max and Eshcombe, they in their bag, you know, playing great.

56:53Shannon Sharpe:And then when Embiid comes back, now we back to this slowdown pace. And it's hard, bro. It's hard to gain momentum like that. So they're going to have to figure that part out. It's really going to be up to Embiid. I can't believe Joe. What's up? He has been in the league 13 years, and now all of a sudden, in year 13, we're going to ask him to come in healthy and hungry and in condition. Wow. So when we gave you that max contract, that was asking too much. And then when you had two years left on the contract and we gave you an extra three years that kicks in this year, that was asking too much for you to do that.

57:26But now we got Jalen Brown.

57:29Shannon Sharpe:That's what we need from you. Yeah. Yeah. That's what we need. That's what we need, big fella. We know you've been bogged down with some injuries, knickknacks here and there. Okay, cool. But look, now we need you to get it in gear. We need you to get it in gear because we got guys around you who we know can get to it and are proven winners. So, yeah, man, we need to – Huh? That's what you wishing, huh? Yeah. Okay, I tell you what. I tell you what. Wishing one hand and poofing the other and see which one fill up. now my granny said i tell you you wish it huh he said wishing one hand pooping the other and see which one fill up okay i'll be right here that's the thing i love about it because now that you you know you know it's it's uh oh and ice oh i get you all we get you all yeah so we gonna see hey we're gonna see baby that's the beauty about it let's go i like it i like it i like it this man I can't believe.

58:26Look, my thing is that I think we're all in agreeance.

58:31Shannon Sharpe:We saw this coming. It was too much momentum. It was too much talking. In years past, it was whispers, you know, JB and this. There might be some buttery gutter head. There might be some envy. I don't believe it was envy on either one of those guys' part. This was Boston did this. Boston started leaking information to certain people and they started talking and JB was like well I ain't say that I ain't do that why is it why all of a sudden I'm playing I don't bother nobody I ain't never been in trouble I don't run a file with the law y 'all don't see me out here in the club and yeah he had a night he had a lady nice little lady she was nice you used to be a WNBA player that thing it was a season that's all they needed the season but for the most part, that man don't bother nobody.

59:24Shannon Sharpe:And he's like, I'm just trying to figure out why of all the people, the way I play hard on both ends of the court, I give you everything. There's no one has ever questioned does JB play hard? Does JB care about winning? Is JB in shape? Nobody has ever questioned my dedication, my love, my purpose for the game. Yet I hear everything that comes out about in Boston, my name is attached to it. Well, maybe it's something we don't know, Uncle Joe. Maybe it's something we don't know that was going on internally. Most of the time. No, we know what's going on. Watch, watch, and it always happens. Once the player leaves, look what they did to Miles Garrett once Miles Garrett left Cleveland.

1:00:07All of a sudden, now you got something bad to say about him. So whatever was going on internally that we don't know about that caused the ruckus and some of the leaks to come in from, some of the leaks to come from inside the house, something gonna come out soon watch guarantee you can I can I let me let me

1:00:24Shannon Sharpe:explain this what I think this is me this I don't know anything I don't know anybody in Boston I'm trying to get up to Brockton Massachusetts I heard they got some they got some nice scenery got some nice tall builders up there in Brockton Mass yeah that's what I hear I don't know but I'm trying to get a look around but anyway this is what I think I think the Boston Celtics JB got there first but I've always believed and I said this on Undisputed they've always valued Jason Tater more than they met by value Jalen Brown right and it's hard not to let that rub you the wrong way because I'm putting in just as much effort just as much energy I'm taking the tougher of assignments you didn't guard Luka Doncic I did and when we had it yeah we took turns guarding LeBron James x y and z but for the most part I had that assignment to begin with and I don't know what else I can do to ingratiate myself.

1:01:18Shannon Sharpe:So he's always felt slighted. No matter what he did, no matter how well he played, it was always, this is JT's team. He's 1A. Well, why can't I be 1A and he be 1B? Why I got to be 1B? Because we all know A is the first letter of the alphabet. So whether they say 1A or 1B, what do they still tell you, Ocho? You second. You second. Listen, I'm - I ain't seen no, look, I can't identify all the languages alphabet, but A, in the English, it's first. Listen, as long as you got that one in front of us, you are right. You are right. Right, man. No. Oh, no. Nah. When they put a question, they put one, they said, okay, the first question, one.

1:02:08Shannon Sharpe:Do they put B, A, C, D, or did they put A, B, C, D? Hey, listen, we know he got a good argument, though. Hey, look, I'm the Finals MVP. Of course, he got a great argument. Yeah, yeah, I'm the Finals MVP. I'm the Eastern Conference MVP. When we get there, I show up and show out. You feel me? I think that's more of what JB is trying to, you know, get his point across. Like, damn, like, every time I look up, my name is always in conversations. always you know what I mean so you're right they've always valued Jason Taylor more than they did JB and he understands that that's why he gonna go out here he gonna show up and show up man I a I think he got that huh and for and he would be disingenuous if he said doesn't bother you because you can you've seen situations where parents have put emphasis on one kid more than the other and the kid resented the child the other the other sibling even though they had nothing to do with it.

1:03:12Shannon Sharpe:There's a little truth even in a lie. So even if things were coming out of Boston wasn't the full truth, JB knew there was some truth in it. It bothered him. Even after this season, when they took what he said, I know what he meant. He said, this was the most fun I had. Martin say, well, I'll be. You mean to tell me we have a 3-1 lead, we lose. And you talking about you had fun? Oh, you had fun because you got you some numbers on. Yeah. Oh, okay. Okay. All right. Hey, okay. Remember Denzel when they had Denzel in the jungle? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I'm going to put, I'm going to put, what do you say?

1:03:58I'm going to put what? You think you could do this to me? Shoe program, nigga.

1:04:07Shannon Sharpe:23 - 23 - People thought they were talking about shoe program. That's special housing unit. That's what the 23-hour lockdown when you're on a special housing unit. You get 23-hour lockdown. They might let your ass out to take a shower. Yeah, you get an hour for a shower and maybe walk around in the yard. Damn. Buy your lonesome. but you damn sure ain't doing up with somebody else. Man, look, I hope he gets out there and ball too because I like him. But we knew when you become this outspoken, it's just a matter of time. It's just a matter of time. And when you're this outspoken, there's no better way to shut the ass up than to come out here and perform at a high level night in and night out.

1:04:57Shannon Sharpe:You know what's funny? He won't lock the ass out of the playoffs. Lord, just let me put us in a situation. Hey, that man might be Michael Jordan. He want to see them in the playoffs. He want to play a semi-game. Listen, I'm telling you. I'm telling you what that's like, bro. Hey, I'm turning him loose. Hey, hold up. Who the nurse? Nick Nurse, the coach. Hey, JB. I'm turning him loose. Doesn't this put pressure back on JT as well? Jalen Brown, we saw what Jalen Brown did, you know, while you was hurt. Now we give you the keys to the team. We don't have to worry about no 1A or 1B no more. This is your team.

1:05:44Now can you replicate what Jalen Brown did while you was hurt? Can you get us to the promise of the end? Yeah.

1:05:52Shannon Sharpe:Brian Windhorse just reported, even though Jalen Brown was talking about himself for MVP, the Celtics did not feel like Jalen had the best season of their team. They felt like Derrick White had a better season. Boston got a chill. Nah, nah, nah, they just got out of hand. They just got out of hand. Are they trying to be funny, Joe? Man, I don't know what they, they trying to turn into a comedy show. That's what they trying to do. Hey, Wynn Horst, you know, hey, don't mess up your credibility now. Don't mess up your credibility. Matter of fact, I wouldn't even, I wouldn't even have wrote that Joe.

1:06:28Huh? I wouldn't, I wouldn't even have wrote that. Come on, man.

1:06:33Shannon Sharpe:Here, here, Derek White's numbers in 25, 26. He every 16 and a half points a game for the 4.4 rebounds a game, five and a half, uh, uh, 5.4, four, six per game. His name net rating, uh, on off was plus six. Jalen Brown averaged almost 29, almost seven rebounds, Five assists. When he's off, they're minus 6.2. Joe, are they serious? Man, come on, bro. They got to chill. You know how it is. You've been on jobs. Nobody ever say anything bad about you while you there. You show up to work every single day on time. The moment you leave, he was difficult to work with. No, I just didn't take no real job.

1:07:27Shannon Sharpe:I wasn't gonna let y 'all pay me peanuts. So if that make me difficult, yeah, I'm difficult. I'm very difficult. I wasn't gonna let you lie to me. You told me one thing and then when I said, I said, you told me this and then you tried to not hold your feet to the fire. Yeah, I'm difficult to work with. Yeah, yeah. Hey, y 'all know what it is. Just like that girl you was there. What happened? When you was with her, it was, oh man. Woo hoo hoo. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, Joe, boy, they put it down. Yeah, when you ain't with him, boy, she talk bad about you. Yeah, she was. He ain't got no motion like that.

1:08:03Shannon Sharpe:His stroke ain't like that. Try to hurt my feet. I just want to know one thing. Did you tell your friends, did he crack? Yeah. So he wasn't like that, you let it crack for four years, five years, six years. Damn, Joe, I ain't experienced that one yet, boy. Yeah, I like that example, though. hey but I want to know hey are you sure that was written or that's not AI I mean because I mean like come on man come on man come on come on come on I mean especially like if you don't like him you know those that are inside the organization but don't don't report on no bullshit excuse me no bull crap like that y 'all know damn well but think about it which one of those two guys went to the Olympics oh don't start that don't start that don't do that Joe tell him Joe Ocho do you realize people that's how they do they look at like well he went to the Olympics so he got to be better now he don't know we smart enough to know but everybody sometimes if it comes from the organization it gotta be true well the devil is a lie so somebody in the organization must got one eye like me because i could i could see better than what they talking about man we all know it was a money issue bro they ain't want to have to deal with that obviously jb made it a little easy for him but yes they weren't trying to do that damn immediately after the trade abelio of jalen criticizing mb for plopping made its rounds.

1:09:43Shannon Sharpe:Let's take a listen to this video. This is my personal opinion on basketball. Some of y 'all might disagree. You know what I mean? But argue with your grandma. Flopping has ruined our game. Joel Embiid is a great player. One of the best bigs in fucking basketball history. Flops. He know it. This ain't breaking news. You know what I mean? It is what it is. I can clip it up. Like I said, y 'all can post it on these paid accounts that y 'all bought, whatever. That's just my opinion. Hey, I like that, Joe. He didn't, he ain't tell no lie, Ocho. He ain't tell no lie. You know what I mean? Do I want to call it flopping at times?

1:10:31Shannon Sharpe:I guess you can, but he sells it. He sells it. Whenever you touch him or whenever you initiate that contact, yeah, he gonna sell it. And I'm sure he'll tell him that to his face because he did say he was a great player. He said he's a great player, but he does flop. One of the best big men to play this game. So obviously he gave his credit. He gave his kudos. But he did say there's a part of your game where you're a little excessive, you know, on a flopping. And you're a big man. You're a big man. Play like a big man sometimes. That man sent him to a whale over 300 pounds. And he dropped like a sack of potatoes.

1:11:05Shannon Sharpe:Listen, listen. See, but here's the thing. Guys who love to score the basketball, Uncle Ocho, they're willing to do whatever they can to manipulate the defense, the referees. I don't give a damn what it is. They enjoy scoring. They want to get two points. So you talking about Shea? Yeah, he knows how to manipulate the game. Yeah. Hey, look. I'm accentuating. Yeah. I'm accentuating. Ah! And one! Hey, you got to hit that cat. Hey, cat. Oh, my God. You got to hit that cat. Oh my God.

1:11:41Shannon Sharpe:So I got to do, I got to do whatever I can to get this call. Yeah. Yeah. But he was. Go ahead, Joe. I'm saying he, but I mean, he told the truth, bro. He wasn't lying. Hey, but you know what it is? It's when emotions are so high, especially with JB being on stream, you know, it's just how it comes out. You know, the, the context of it, you know what I mean? You know, it sounds like it was flagrant, but what he said, I didn't think he lied. The funny thing about it is for an active NBA player to still be on stream right now and do it while he's active and still actually playing, you got to be a truth teller.

1:12:16You can't sell no wolf tickets. So anything that comes out of your mouth, it has to be said truth based on your knowledge and what you see in today's game. And that's what Jalen Brown is, one of the few players that can get away with it because he's going to tell it like it is. Yeah, yeah.

1:12:31Shannon Sharpe:If you do that and you take a stance against anything, you got to be willing to accept the blowback and the consequences that comes along with your actions, no matter how well intended they may be. When Ali took his stance, he understood that by not going to Vietnam, he was risking his prime years, and he was okay with that. So you have to understand, somebody, you for a cause, you're for something. somebody is absolutely absolutely against that cause i don't care how well intended it may be man you know what i want to save the deer man i love hunting deer yeah okay i want to save the bear man bear population getting too big well what about the fish man come on man so somebody no matter what how well intended your purpose or your cause may seem somebody's going to be against it so you have to understand that when you take a stance or you speak out in favor of or against i don't want you to think that just because you speak out of you speak for something even if you speak against it that's why for the longest time so many wouldn't touch it no hell no man you know what the funny thing about it is in jb's in a position where he already has fuck you money and he can't mess it up with his opinions.

1:13:59He can't. In order to have that I don't care mentality that voice and having that platform, Joe, you have to not care. I know exactly. He know exactly what he's doing and I don't care. And if anybody, depending on who it is, you got to be in a position of power. Your voice has to matter. It has to have some type of importance to it. If somebody says something about anything I say, I'm going to fire back. that's why he go back and forth with Stephen A. Smith. He ain't going back and forth with nobody else.

1:14:32Shannon Sharpe:Right, right, right. Hey, listen, do y 'all think with all these professional athletes having podcasts now, especially during the season, do y 'all think some way, somehow the commissioners of these leagues will try and slow it down? You can't do that, Joe. You can't do that. Hey, Unc, if you decide to do your podcast on Tuesdays, that's what most active players do it. They do it on their off day. Yep. What'd you think? Me? I'm just saying because it stirs up so much, and it's like a layup to the media. Oh, they love it. They love it. They love it. But I cut out the middleman, Joe, because sometimes things get lost in translation.

1:15:11Shannon Sharpe:Right. I come direct. C-A. D-T-C. Direct to consumer. Yes, sir. But that could be a gift and a curse though Because y 'all know When you get on here pissed off You go to saying something that you can't recant You can't take back You gotta be careful Before you hit that send button you gotta be careful But yo I like the fact that players have a voice now I like the fact that players have An opinion and a platform Because you have to understand the mainstream media And leaner television was always In control of the perception On us to the masses they control everything because we didn't have a voice we got a helmet on y 'all on the court you know you can see your face but they control everything that people are supposed to think and believe when it comes to us now we didn't cut the middle man out like like unc said hell you come right to the horse's mouth you can't tell me nothing on espn fox cbs nbc that i can't hit i can't get my phone grab and hit sin and i could debunk anything that said about me that ain't true right yeah i got you but just just understand me i'm not gonna lie to you had i been playing i wouldn't have done a i would have done a pot i wouldn't have done a podcast because i already know how i am be too locked in well i'm gonna be talking crazy to everybody that's on the schedule so I already know me so just let me hey I had a radio show but I had you know obviously understood that I had needed to be professional so hey you know hey blah blah blah so forth so they got some really good players that ain't what I really think but I understood but sometimes when I get comfortable see I understood you know I'm comfortable here yeah man I ain't no telling what I'm liable to say that's how these stories came out yeah yeah yeah I was in my own home yeah yeah hey everybody's like damn man I can't believe you told that story tonight hell I can't believe it either but I was comfortable hey that little poor day got him going
