In short
Recap and debate of the 76ers’ first-round Game 7 upset over the Celtics, plus discussion of Joel Embiid’s flopping/“flailing” and Jalen Brown’s complaints about officiating and rewards for embellishment. They also look ahead to a Sixers–Knicks postseason rematch.
Guests/backgrounds
The episode is a sports talk conversation featuring “Uncle Ocho” and “Joe” (regular co-hosts/voices). They discuss Embiid’s availability history and compare player styles (e.g., Embiid vs. Shaq; Maxey’s pick-and-roll). No formal guest bios are provided in the transcript.
Key claims
Embiid was pivotal in eliminating Boston, but he’s often unavailable due to injuries; availability is framed as more important than talent. Brown argues Embiid is rewarded for flopping in Game 7 and that some referees should be investigated. The hosts counter that flopping is part of the game and emphasize Embiid’s ability to draw fouls and score in the post.
Notable examples
Sixers rally from a 3-1 deficit; Embiid’s presence in the series despite early absence; Maxey’s three straight pick-and-roll rim attacks; a specific officiating example involving a reviewed play where Jalen Suggs “twisted his own ankle.”

2:55Shannon Sharpe:The Sixers rallied from a 3-1 series deficit to upset the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs, setting up a showdown with the Knicks in a postseason rematch from two years ago in which New York fans flooded the Wells Fargo Center after presumably purchasing the tickets from the Sixers fans. Embiid pleaded with the 76ers fans to avoid a repeat of scenario from the 2024 series. I have just one message for our fans. Last time we played the Knicks, it felt like Philadelphia was in Madison Square Garden East. we're going to need the support. Don't sell your tickets. This is bigger than you. We need you guys.
3:29Hey, I talked to Embiid, right? And he told me he want the apologies to be just as loud as the criticism.
3:36Shannon Sharpe:Mm. Yeah, that was the message I was giving. I'm not sure who he was addressing it to. Talking to him? He told me to say, make sure the apologies in just as loud as the criticism was. nobody has ever or will ever doubt his ability. We doubt his availability. Because the first three games of the series, where was he, Ocho and Joe? He was hurt. He was hurt. Best ability is what? Availability. We not doubt Joe. We know Joe Allenby is what. There's only been one man his size, that athletic, that can move, but he couldn't shoot like Joe Allenby in that shot. we've never seen a man that big 300 plus pounds 7 foot plus tall to move and be able to do what he can do on the court we just want him to be available Ocho he's played as of March he's played 485 games he's missed 485 games yeah yeah we had this conversation though Uncle Joe we got on him about him not being available and we had someone chiming in the chat or whatever it was and they talked about the money he had gotten and why did they pay him that much and the only thing the only thing thing i answer i could have for that was is he's not available he's always hurt but when he is available when he's on that court he's a complete difference maker which is why he gets the money he does get even though most people will say it's not warranted because he's missed so many goddamn games but he showed you in this series alone, where they done send Boston home, because of his presence, even though it slows the game down for everybody else, look what it does for you.
5:27Shannon Sharpe:And you just hold your, every time he goes down, you hold your breath. You do, man. Anytime somebody's begging to him, he's like, you know how I knew he was okay? You know how I knew he was good, and Joe? Remember when that ball was going out of bounds, you see him die for that thing? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, he good. He good. But then, what you call him, he got the guy, He picked up a charge and then the guy backed into his knee because that's how he hurt his knee one time before. You know what I'm saying? And he got his knee hyper-extended back. And then he started cramping on the sideline and trying to stretch him out.
5:57Shannon Sharpe:He's a phenomenal talent. You'll never ever, because I've watched him, only one guy had that kind of athleticism at that size. That's Shaq. But Shaq couldn't shoot the ball like this kid could. Right. Yeah. But as far as you're talking about, I got his 7 '1", 300-plus pounds. Do you see how he moves? Yeah. Yeah. He can shoot the three. He can get a mid-range. He can back it down, shoot over either shoulder. And I love – hey, he was hitting score points on Jalen Friday. Like, calm down. Y 'all getting all of them iced? Just calm down. Hey, I got this. I got it. Yeah. Hey, MB. I got it. Hey, the games that he has played in this postseason, Uncle Ocho, the boy would look damn good if you ask me.
6:49Shannon Sharpe:You know, I think the biggest key for Philly is if you can get those guys around him. Obviously, I don't worry about Maxie. I think Maxie's been great. I love his energy and effort, his assertiveness that he comes out with, and he don't defer to no damn body. Yeah, we're going to give him some touches, but damn it, I'm going to be at the helm, and I'm going to shoot when I want. I'm going to be aggressive. I'm going to attack. I'm going to do all that. But if you get Edgecombe and Paul George to be able to play efficiently. Like they play? Yeah. Off these two dudes, they got to. Oh, Joe, the last three possessions, who had the ball?
7:28Shannon Sharpe:Maxie. Yeah. They put him in the pick and roll, and what did he do? Get all the way to the rim and lay it up. Three straight possessions. Yeah. But you know why that's possible, though? It's possible because Embiid kind of had it going, and the big is in that between. He and that hucklebuck. I call it the hucklebuck, Uncle Ocho, because you're like, damn, Maxie come off this pick and roll. I don't know if he really looking to throw it back to Embiid or get our way to the basket. But Maxie playing with such thrust down the stretch, bro, it creates so many opportunities, and it makes him that much more dangerous.
8:01Shannon Sharpe:They are going to get a Knicks hell. They will get a Knicks hell. Because what we lack. They do them if they want. Yeah, because what the - The question of what cat are we gonna get? Well, well, I think with the history, you gotta understand the history about Cat and Embiid now. Hey, I saw the tweets. You saw the old tweets? Yeah, yeah. You saw the old tweets, Joe? Yeah, I ain't seen no tweets. I ain't seen no tweets. Huh? You gotta look at the old tweets where Embiid tweeted a goddamn cat. Oh yeah, it's been a nasty little rival between those two, and I don't expect for it to be no difference in this postseason.
8:36Shannon Sharpe:Yes, sir. Yeah. That's the mood. Yeah, when you look at it, what we lack, meaning the Hawks, we didn't have no girth. We couldn't really – it was tough for us to deal with Robinson and Cat. Well, hell, Philly ain't got that problem. They got Drum Dog and they got – yep. Man, what you talking about? They got guys coming off their bench who can withstand all that. So I think Philly is going to be a way tougher matchup than what my Hawks gave him for sure. Oh, Joe. Yes, sir. We was having this conversation, Joe, last week. It was just last week. Yeah. About that beat. Yeah, it was, yeah. I said, you said you tried.
9:17Shannon Sharpe:I said, yeah, I would. I said, because I can't trust his availability. I never said he couldn't play. Right. He's an MVP. He's gotten 70 points. I said, but to invest that kind of money in a guy that I'm only getting, I'm not even really getting him 50 % of the time. See, the way people look at it, if you say something negative about a person, anything that he or she has ever done, you try to discount it. Yeah. That was the issue that me and my co-host had with Tom Brady. Tom Brady didn't play well. Are you trying to say he didn't win seven Super Bowls? Are you saying he didn't throw for 80 ,000 yards?
9:56Shannon Sharpe:Are you saying he didn't throw for 600? No, that's not what I said. Two things can be true. Yes. yeah Tom Brady can play bad and still been a great player but you don't this ain't a lifetime achievement award as long as he's still playing we have to evaluate him on his game yes LeBron James didn't play well oh so now you said he ain't score 40 plus thousand points no that ain't what I said I said he didn't play game back he played bad this game when he scored 10 points Joe and I came I said but it's awful this might have been the worst playoff game I've ever seen him play if you got to go all the way back to 2011 when he played those games against the mavericks to find lebron james not playing well in a playoff game two things can be true joe ellen beat is a phenomenal talent but the majority of the time he's unavailable yeah yeah it's hard to win and build a championship contending team when your best player is unavailable understandable you understood Joe understood exactly capping what did I cap about has Joe Allenby missed 485 games as of March yes has he played 485 games since March list the injuries in which he's actually missed games and missed in playoffs or he's been limited in the playoffs was that last year Joe where he was dragging that leg, and if he had been healthy, they might have won the series.
11:33Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, I think it was, yeah. He got that big old Dunjoy on. It's damn near like a cast. He's dragging his leg and still giving you 30. Yeah. He's dealt with injuries since he came into the league, man. Yeah. And you know what? As a matter of fact, hold on. Yeah, that was 2024. Yes, because my question was, I was like, guys, why is he going to play into the Olympics when he was hurt in the playoffs? Yeah. Why not get healthy? Yeah. And then guess what? He lived into the season. Yeah. He barely played in the Olympics here. Yes! Hey, nothing about it. But I think they thought that having to deal with Jokic, having to deal with Wemby, having to deal with Gobert, we got AD, but we need another American being.
12:21Shannon Sharpe:Now obviously he's Cameroonian, but he's here. American citizenship. And so, yeah, he got his papers and everything. So that's what they felt they had to. Because like you said, only like one or two games, that game against Jokic where they was down big and he hit a couple of big shots, maybe that's all you needed him for. Yeah, yeah. That's all you needed him for. Yeah. But guys, two things can be true. You can say Luka don't play a lick of defense, but is he not one hell of a ball player offensively? So you try to say so because Luka is not that good, it's awful on defense. He's a terrible basketball player.
13:03Shannon Sharpe:Nah.
13:07Shannon Sharpe:Two things can be true. When it comes to advancing your education, you have more options than you think.

17:20Available now in the Reynolds Wrap Aisle in Walmart, Target, Amazon, and Costco. And I know, I know, I know Embiid reminded a lot of people. I know he missed a lot of time. A lot of people had a lot of things to say about him because of his absence. absences, you know, due to unfortunate circumstances that he really, that are out of his control. Out of his control. Now, maybe there's some things he can do personally to prevent some of these injuries, but it's been something that started, he's hell, when he came in the NBA, he came in hurt. You know? But when he, hey, Joe, when he is healthy, I don't even think he's ever been healthy.
17:58I'm talking about fully healthy. I'm talking about 100%.
18:01Shannon Sharpe:I don't think he healthy now. He won the MVP. I think he played like 68, 70 games. He was special that year. That might have been the most games that he played, but you got to realize, guys, he came into the league and ended up having to have back surgery. Yeah. You got to realize how big of a man that is. They list him at 285. If Joel Embiid is 285, I'm 165. Do you think he ain't been at three? Do I? Yeah. I'm 255? Y 'all saw me? Yeah. So y 'all think Joel Embiid is only 30 pounds heavier than me? I'm 6 '2". Joel Embiid is 7 '1", 7 '2". And y 'all think Joel Embiid is only 30 pounds heavier than me?
18:47Shannon Sharpe:They say LeBron James is 260. So you believe that Joel Embiid is only 25 pounds heavier than LeBron Joe? Yeah, no. Damn, me and Uncle weigh the same amount. So you, in other words, so you said Joel Embiid is only 30 pounds heavier than you? Nah, nah. Okay. Damn. Hey. Joe, we got to get that way down there, Joe. I'm going to get on down. I'm going to get down to 245 there. You trying to get – see, I – the lowest I'm going to get on is about – I played at 240. So I'm like 250, 253 right now. Yeah. Yeah, I played at 240. I can probably get, I probably need to get back to about 245. Yeah, you might play.
19:38Shannon Sharpe:I played at 228. Did you? Hey, but two ways I can get to 228 again. Yeah. And I don't want either one of them, crack or age. Hey, Joe, you might want to get down to about 220, bro. For what? Huh? For what? Why? You talking about Joe? Yeah. Shit, how the hell he gonna, how you gonna stay in front of me at 230 or any of that? Joe said that reach. Ha, ha, ha. I ain't, I ain't, I'm talking about hooping. I ain't talking about hooping. Oh, you talking about hooping? Oh, Joe, he's been to cross you up. Oh, oh. Oh, he too heavy. Oh, the man can't walk and chew bubble gum, bro. You think I'm, man, come on.
20:15Come on, man. Hey, hey, Joe, listen. Joe, all that weight ain't gonna help you, Joe. You're gonna be too slow. I'm telling, I'm telling you now, as, as, as a friend. Oh, Joe, oh, Joe. As, as, as a friend. Oh, Joe. As an, as an elite athlete. Oh, Joe. With the best footwork of all time in any sport.
20:32Shannon Sharpe:But, Joe, you didn't have the ball in your hand when you was doing that. Huh? You didn't have the ball in your hand when you was running around. I'm going to dribble past that nigga. Oh, oh. And that's what he came on. He think he got quick feet. Them damn quick feet ain't going to be worth a damn if he can't dribble the ball and let that ball keep a man please. Joe, you done seen me dribble, man. I ain't no different than Kyrie. You done seen my toolbox. Don't do that. Don't do that, Joe. Hey Joe, for real. Hey Joe, you need to stop disrespecting me, boy. I'm telling you, your head gonna look - Hey Ocho, will you finish with him Ocho?
21:08Shannon Sharpe:I will take him out to the three-point line. Hey. Oh yeah. Drop my five of them in a row and keep my ball. Hey, once again, once again, I gotta make you guys a believer. But guess what? I don't mind doing it, fellas. I really don't mind it. I hope so. I really don't mind it. I hope so. That Louis Vuitton ball that un-gap, Hey, in advance, thank you, okay? In advance, thank you. Thank you, I'm gonna take that off your hand. You don't know what to do with that. I got you, don't worry about it, partner. Hey, I done put it up. I put it up against Steph, Clay, and Dane. But since they didn't take me up on it, you wanna take me up on it?

They ain't made for a handful of these, I got one. Hey, hey, boy, I knew you, I knew old Uncle Ocho, boy, y 'all was sweet as cotton candy. I already knew it. Hey, I know. Hey, you think so? You think so? Hey. Oh, so you thought this was an easy win for you, huh? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, easy win. But I was gonna be cool and act like we were having it out. You know, it was a big deal. It was an old Uncle Ocho. Hey, Joe, I mean, just between you and I, Yeah.
22:21Shannon Sharpe:you know I still got the school record at my high school. I dropped 52 in the game. Did you? Yeah. Okay. I averaged 30 in my senior year, Joe. I'm just throwing that out there. I know that was a long time ago. I got my 40 year coming up in June. 40 years since I left Glenville High. Yeah. But the record was still intact. Yeah. I got the high school record and I got the JV record. I dropped 39 on the JV game. Oh, you ain't shot a jumper in over 10, 15 years. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm a little muscle bound right now. But.
22:52Shannon Sharpe:Hey, look. But, but, I think out of five shots, if you playing me, if we shooting best, you can't miss. That's what I'm trying to tell you. One miss of caution. That's what I'm trying to tell you, partner. Man, please. One miss of caution. Man, please what? Man, please what? You want me to jump on your ass too? Huh? Man, please. Joe, this thing has been in my possession for about four or five years, Joe. I can't let it go, Joe. I can't let you win. The one thing you can take with you is that you know that you're just going to be in good hands over here, baby, like the Allstate. I got you. I ain't going to let nothing happen to it.
23:27Shannon Sharpe:You hear me? I can't let you win it, Joe. I can't. Unk, the man ain't going to win nothing. He ain't going to get past me. You hear me? I'm going to talk you about this game.

Hey Joe, once I sit in that chair, boy, you not going nowhere, I'm telling you.
24:01Huh? Oh, you gonna sit in that chair on him like Stefan Castle? Hey, like Castle. Matter of fact, I'm gonna be, I'm gonna blow in his ear like Lance Stevenson.
24:11Shannon Sharpe:Un, un, un, un. You see, unk, the man knee high to a duck's ass. How he think he gonna disturb anything I'm doing. It's like KD shooting a jump shot and somebody trying to get, Man, I don't even see you, brother. Joe, you're going to see me, Joe. I don't even see you. Joe, I'm going to be in your face. I'm going to be in your vicinity. I'm going to be talking in your ear, Joe. You're going to be flustered. You ain't never had nobody defend you like this, Joe. I'm going to talk you out your game.

25:16Shannon Sharpe:Get it. I mean, Joe, people, I mean, I think Ocho thing because you been dressing like an 80s group. Like you out there, you do like you Blackstreet or somebody. Hey, nah, he look like Men Condition. Yeah. You gonna get this work, bro. Hey, what you know about Men Condition, boy? Ooh. Hey, my favorite song from Men Condition, So Fine. Yeah? You know that? I gotta catch the melody. Man, Joe. So Fine. What? What you know about that? So fine, blow your mind? No, not that one, not that one. It's called So Fine. Hey, Joe, you ain't got your phone on you? Yeah. Man, Joe, just hit So Fine real quick, Joe.
25:58When you hit a beat -
25:59Shannon Sharpe:First of all, when that stuff was out, oh, Joe, first of all, when that stuff was out, you was in damn middle school. I was listening to it in middle school. Yo, I was listening to music in middle school that if my mama knew what I was listening to - You get in trouble? Why'd I got in trouble? Hey, you got to understand, I was a tenderoni in junior high, huh? I had about three, four girlfriends. But see, back then, I mean, the song was essential. I mean, everybody knew, but they weren't talking about no hoo-ha. They ain't talking about all those stuff. Nah, nah, that was real music. That wasn't none of that in there?
26:34Shannon Sharpe:Nah. That was real music, we ain't never getting music like that again. Yeah, you're like, okay, okay. Hey, that's when you used to go to them little house parties or dances, and you could grind. Little school dance, yeah. But you got a chaperone, cause you know, hey, you know, they wouldn't let you get off, because back then, they don't need slow drag. They don't, what, slow dance, slow drag, whatever they wanna call it. They don't even let you down and do that no more. But you go back in the day. Back in the day, boy, hey, hey. One of them two arms go up like this here, Ocho. Hey. You already know what it is, baby.
27:04Shannon Sharpe:Hey, hey, hey. You got a little chaperone, nigga. Keep your heart back. Come on, man, I'm trying to gray all these hands. Keep your arms up here. Hey, Frankenstein, damn. Get your ass back in the corner, man. Hey, hey. You say he trying to touch something. Yeah. I already know it. Hey, man, let me tell y 'all something. Back in the day, boy, the little house parties that we used to go to, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sure they used to happen when y 'all was growing up, too. You know, this was before you could really go to a club. You know, if you 60, 15, 18, 19. Oh, boy, we used to go to some mean house parties.
27:38Shannon Sharpe:I'm talking about nothing like that, boy. Hey, Joe, they tell me to keep the light. Man, how you going to dance with the light on? I got that light on. Oh, hey, boy, them some good days, boy. Oh, them some good days. Boy, they bring out that purple rain. You hear me? It's over. It's over, then. Yeah. Hey. Damn. Never be the same, bro. Nah, it'll never be like that. Hey, think about it. It'll never be like that again. Nah, you used to go to the club and they'll have a dance floor and you could dance. Hell, there's so many damn sections in the club now. There ain't nothing for dancing. Yeah. They want their money for that.
28:19Everybody on their phone, Joe.
28:22Shannon Sharpe:Everybody on their phone. Everybody taking pictures of their bottle. The women up there taking a picture of themselves. You know, they got that, you know, got their dunk website and everything. All the clubs ain't no place for dancing. It ain't the same. And it used to be, hey, they get about an hour or so of fast up tempo, and then they gonna hit you about 15 minutes of slow stuff. Yeah. But that's why when I step out now, I go holler at it may be Brian Michael Cox or Jermaine Dupree when they doing the R &B, the R &B Wednesdays, the Thursdays, the Jagged Edge, Twins, Uncle Ocho. They got a little something they do out here, but it be all R &B.
29:02Shannon Sharpe:You talking about a vibe. Hey, when that air, Joe? I think the Twins do something on the Jagged Edge Twins. I think it's on a Thursday. I'm gonna have to find out. I hadn't been in a while, Ocho, but when I tell you, man, hey, they have karaoke in there and they play the music, but you know, women, they love R &B, bro. Yes, sir. Hey, look, I don't know about y 'all, but I don't want to be around a bunch of hard legs. You hear me? Yes, sir. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was my grandpa. Hey, yep. My grandpa used to call the boy, hey, boy, you hanging around with too many hard ankles. Hey, I gotta come check that out, Joe.
29:40You know, I'm a sucker for live music, Joe.
29:43Shannon Sharpe:I'm a senior schedule. And Joe, you know what I'm saying? We at the age now, look, twerking's fine, but I ain't trying to see a whole bunch of it. Not the whole night. You hear me? Nah, nah. Yeah. If you see some twerking, you want it to be in your bedroom or something. I ain't a man. Yeah, I already know it. I already know it. Yeah, you know, hey, because I got, my eyes are working on, what you call them, slow-mo. Yeah. So, you know, they might be doing it fast, but my eyes are focused and it's a slow mode. Yes, sir. I like that. I like that. R &B. Yeah, yeah. A whole bond. Those were the days.
30:17Shannon Sharpe:Those were the days you had a party. We have the eighth grade dance and the homecoming dance and all that. Hold on, what about prom? Don't leave prom out, huh? I didn't go to prom in high school with Joe. Coach Joe and Joe. Why? Because we had a track meet. so coach coach Hall would always say look guys okay this is when the prom is I can schedule a track meet I ain't have no girl I'm running I'm trying to figure out how the prom was going to get me to college ooh boy you had your head on your shoulders boy okay now once I got I had I had a girlfriend now my sophomore year I had a girlfriend and I went but after that her senior I didn't go we had broken up but I didn't go to the prom in high school.
31:04Shannon Sharpe:I was running track. Well, locked in. Oh, look, Coach Al say, I'm going to say, look, I can schedule a track meet and y 'all go to the prom. And some guys, some guys that went to the prom, they didn't go, that wasn't me. Yeah. Right. And the one year it was the state track meet was that and Coach Al say, I'm going to the state track meet. I say, well, I'll be there with you.
31:32Shannon Sharpe:That's what I love track about, subtract so much. Because sometimes guys want to bull jive and, you know, they want to take it serious and work hard and train hard. Let me get my individual events. So we don't go as a team, as a relay team. Yeah. I'm going to three events. You're going to cut up. I sure am. So that was my thought process. So I didn't go to the problem. But them dance, them homecoming dances, or somebody would have a, oh, yeah, man. Woo. Hey. Good days, bro. The music back then, boy. It was different, Joe. It was different. The music back then had meaning, Joe. Man. It had mean.
32:09It's like when you cook and you use seasoning, everything they sang about had flavor back then.
32:16Shannon Sharpe:Man. There was a message to everything that was sang. They used to beg back then, Unk. You hear me? They used to beg. We don't beg no more. Nah, you ain't beg no more, Ocho. It's a different time now. Hey, hey. They can say what they want to, but boy, when they put their kills on, that slow dance. Hey, Mr. DJ. Hey. Why don't you slow this part? Hey, boy. Man, listen, man. But Joe and Ocho, y 'all can't have it slow the whole night. Like sometimes we gotta put that parliament on. That flashlight, mm, mm. Now I lay me down. Uh-uh. Uh. Hey. Flashlight. Uh-uh. Yeah, yeah. But it was the day, hey. It was the days, man.
33:13Shannon Sharpe:It was the day. Hey, we did have what you call them, old school. We did have an old school jail. That's what I'm saying, man. Y 'all playing, bro. I'm ready. What we doing? We doing karaoke or we just vibing? What we doing? I'm ready. Karaoke, Joe. That's up my alley, Joe. Before we go any further, hey, next year, go ahead and put it, we're going to the Kentucky Derby. We're going to the Kentucky Derby? We're going to the Kentucky Derby next year. Go ahead and put it on the calendar. I know you ain't never been on, Joe, I don't think you've ever been. I've been once. I ain't never been. It's unbelievable.
33:39Shannon Sharpe:You know what's so crazy? Cincinnati right there. Yes. I flew into Cincinnati. Yeah, Louisville, right down the street. I'm in Cincinnati 11, 12 years. Joe, I ain't go to the Kentucky Derby not one year. Damn. You gotta go. It's all about the women in their hat, and the guy you gotta have, you gotta get your brim though, Joe, Joe, Joe. You gotta get your brim. You gotta put it on? Gotta put it on a brim. Say less, say less. Women might not even have on no shoes, but they gonna have a nice ass hat on. Hey, hey. You ain't seen that many hats since you went to fourth Sunday at the church. You hear me?
34:15Shannon Sharpe:Hey, hey. Everybody had a hat on. What, what? My grandma, she had a closet full of hats. You hear me? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. My grandma. You talking about for church? You talking about for church, Joe? Yeah. Boy? My grandma got buried in one of hers. She already done told my sister what the outfit. She wanted everything on. She wanted glasses. She wanted a tee. She wanted a hat on. Yeah. Everything. Yes, sir. Oh, yeah. And my sister still got all the other hats. My sister's like, I ain't getting them away. Hey, what was that about, though? I'm talking about, man, my grandma got a... I'm talking about she probably got over 100-something hats, bro.
34:52Oh, easy. My grandma too. My grandma was the Eastern star. Joe, she sang in the choir. She was a deaconess. Deaconess, yeah. That was what my grandmother was. She had a hat for every dress.
35:05Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. How you have a hat and a purse to match? Yeah. What are we doing? I've never seen my grandmother go to church. And I went to church with my grandmother from the time I can remember until I left in 1986. and occasionally I would come home and go with her on a fourth Sunday. Yeah. But say from, I can remember, 74 to – I've never seen my grandma there in church without a hat. Me neither, bro. Never. Me neither. Never. I'm saying, is there any significance behind that? I never asked her why she would. Or they just like the style like that. They would style them. I think it's style. I just think they grandma – but grandma – I think I might have saw Grandma Lou, which was my great-grandma.
35:51Shannon Sharpe:Grandma Lou occasionally, she didn't always wear a hat, but those women, all the deacon wives had a hat on. Yeah. And the mother of the church had a hat on. So I don't know what's the significance of it or why. Them old men, them men wore brims. My grandfather wore one hat all the time. He was one of those guys, he was a fedora. He always had a hat to church. Unless he was, I think he might have wore hats in the field when he was working in the fields. And you know what's funny too, Unk and Joe? What's that? You know who had the best hat collection? It wasn't my grandma. It wasn't anybody else, but it was the pastor's wife.
36:38Pastor's wife?
36:39Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. The pastor's wife, I'll never forget. my all of it Baptist Church Reverend Clark his wife I mean I'm not sure if they still alive after all this time Joe man she was head to toe every Sunday yeah had master purse master heels and everything just floating I'm so clean yeah so clean but that's what the derby like I said I went actually I was I talked to Thurman he and his wife because that's who was there that's who I hung out with Thurman Thomas and his wife Patty I think Warren Moon was there there are a lot of there are a lot of celebs that come but I'm saying the little group that I was with so hey we gonna get our own little group we gonna get this thing up so go ahead and pencil in the first week in the first Saturday in May we're going to the derby next year we out say live When it comes to advancing your education, you have more options than you think.

42:29Shannon Sharpe:Jalen Brown believes Joel Embiid was rewarded for flopping in Game 7. We didn't really have an answer for him. He's always flopping around, and they rewarded him for that. But that's the league we're in. Flopping has ruined our league. Joel is one of the greatest players that's played basketball, but he flops. He knows it, too. In addition to being frustrated with Embiid, Brown says he felt targeted by the official. If I had to say there are some referees that need to be investigated, we had three of them in the last three games. Joe, does JB have a point calling out Embiid saying he flops a lot or he's making excuses for how his team blew a 3-1 lead?
43:10Shannon Sharpe:I think he's still a little pissed off, Uncle Ocho, about the loss. Yes, sir. You know, and it's still early, so it still lingers. But do I say he flops a lot? I would say he flails, meaning, you know, a guy his size, you don't expect for him every time he gets touched or when he gets touched going through the lane for him to flail and be looking for a foul. You expect for those guys to play through the contact. But this is how the great scorers in our league today are able to manipulate the game and get what they want. You know what I mean? Like, Joel knows he has to put his stamp on the game.
43:48Shannon Sharpe:And by that, if it's getting guys in foul trouble, the way he can go to the free throw line, get a couple easy ones, things of that sort. So if you're not playing great offensively, you have to find ways to still be effective. And I think Joel has done a great job. He's done a great job in that series, bro. You know, JB got to give him credit. And it's always, you know, you always flight there against you when they continue to call fouls. I think JB had a game, especially the last two games, the way he was kind of in foul trouble. So I can kind of understand where he's coming from. But, man, it's a part of the game now, bro.
44:22Shannon Sharpe:You can't take it out. You know, they used to talk about, oh, we're going to fine you for flopping this. Hell, when's the last time y 'all heard somebody getting fined for flopping? Yeah, there's a lot of flailing and flopping going on in the league, bro. You can't distinguish what's authentic and what's not. Right. Here's the problem that I got. It wasn't the flopping. it was y 'all dumb play JB. Y 'all down one point and you come down and launch five, six straight threes. So what about that? I'm just trying to figure out, Joe, you're down one. You're not down 11. You're down one. You don't want to run not one play?
45:01Shannon Sharpe:You shoot a three. You get the rebound. You jack up another three. You get the rebound. You shoot another three. I'm like, well, are you serious? And I get it. a lot of people look at Joel and B to say, bro, you decided to Shaq. Shaq ain't never flopped. When they foul Shaq, you know they foul, but they had to. Oh, he's going to dunk your ass in the basket. So you really, really had to foul Shaq. But in today's game, that's not, they reward flopping. And they do. And guys have found ways. They've got really, really creative at fooling the officials. I mean, sometimes you swing by the guy's face and he'll fall.
45:39Shannon Sharpe:Oh, Lord. And look, this is why the scoring is up in the NBA Because back in the 80s and 90s and 70s, Uncle Ocho You could hand check, you could do all that That shit wasn't no foul Nowadays, you can't hand check Guy coming through the lane, you chug him, that's a foul You know, everything is borderline flagrant You can review everything Well, damn You know, the game is just a lot different A prime example Jalen Suggs twisted his own damn ankle at the half court at the heave at halftime. And they reviewed it. They made it seem like Cade Cunningham did something. He tripped his own damn self. Yeah, absolutely.
46:19Shannon Sharpe:Tony Brothers had to go look at the monitor. There was no father. Hell, I could have told you that. But guess what? He twisted his own damn ankle. Cade ain't touching. And then he laying down there and the fish is like, Well, damn, ain't no possible way he would be faking, would he? Let's go take a look at it. Come to find out, he tripped his own damn self. Yeah, yeah. So I think – I understand. Look, you up 3-1, you just know you got this thing in the bag. It's over. It's over. But the thing – what helped y 'all get those leads? Again, you was 13 to 49. You was 27 % from the three. When they start getting to the high teams, the low 20s, they're unbeatable because they take so many threes.
47:13Shannon Sharpe:Now you are only plus six points from the three-point line. You're not going to beat that team because you really don't have an answer for Joel Embiid. And then you let Maxie get going. You let Edgecombe get going. Paul George only shot ten shots, but he made five of them. They didn't get anything from the bench. They only got three points from the bench. The Celtics got 30, 41. They got 41 from their bench. But think about it. Luke Garza, zero points. Ron Harper Jr., zero points. Sherman, zero points. So you got three starters that gave you nothing. So you think JB had a good game, right? Yeah, he did.
47:53JB had a good game. He had 33. You think if Jason Tatum played, it might have been different?
47:59Shannon Sharpe:Maybe. Yeah. Maybe. I think it would have been different. He wouldn't have had no donut. Exactly. You know what I'm saying? He needed something. I think the biggest thing for Philly is that they got a post player in Embiid. See, Boston don't have that. That's why they shoot some in damn threes. They live and die by the three because who posts up on their team? JB and JT. Yeah, but they don't really post up a lot, but they will. You know what I mean? But Embiid is in the post every play. You feel me? Yeah, he may take a three. He may take a mid-range. But for the most part, we know we can dump it down to him, then he probably going to get us a foul or some buckets.
48:39Shannon Sharpe:A bucket, one or the other. It ain't many teams. Or you'll get a wide open look because you better come doubly. You see what I'm saying? So it ain't many teams that have bigs that's left in the NBA that can really do a little bit of both, meaning score inside out. Embiid is probably one of the most unique ones. I know the Knicks have some, OKC, the Spurs. Hell, even I like Minnesota with Jew Randall. Yeah, but Joe, why do you trade for Vucevic if you're not going to play him? Right. He's a guy that can pull Joel Embiid from the basket. He's a guy that can rebound. He can pass the basketball. Why not play Vucevic if you traded for him?
49:20Shannon Sharpe:And you gave up a guy that was pretty good off the bench, and the guy you got from Portland. Wow. Anthony Simons. I think – you know what? I don't know. I wonder if Vucevic was too much of a liability. defensively you know considering the fact that he'd be guarding mb then that pick and roll him having to guard maxi or get back to mb because defensively hell he ain't gonna give you nothing defensively you just gotta hope he makes shots offensively speaking of voos so i i i don't know i don't know what uh boston was doing and you know that part but give philly credit bro i want to give paul george credit too i think he was pretty consistent throughout this whole series I agree.
50:03Shannon Sharpe:Did he erupt for 30 or 40 points? Nah, but that ain't what they need right now. Nope. They didn't need that for him. They needed him to be consistent and play great defense. I think a lot of what he done did not show up in the stat sheet. I thought he played great defense on Tatum and Brown. That is true. And maybe, you know, the thing is that Paul George is going to have to be able to defend. Because, you know, look, Oubre, I thought, you know, they put Oubre on Brown. They tried Paul George. They could throw a lot of different looks at him. And so now Brunson, you've talked to – Edge probably is going to start out on Brunson.
50:41Shannon Sharpe:You think so? Yeah, yeah, yeah. The question is they're probably going to start at McHale Bridges or OG on Maxie. You can't put Brunson on him. Brunson can't stay in front of him. I think they start Bridges on Maxie and OG going to have to deal with Paul George. Yeah. I think if you Philly, though, I don't think the Knicks really, really scare you. Kind of like how Boston, because of Tatum and Brown, they're so prolific as far as scoring. Yeah, we know OG can score. He done had big games, especially in the series against the Hawks. Bridges can, you know, give or take. But I don't think this should be too tough of a series for Philly, fellas, if y 'all really want, you know.
51:27Shannon Sharpe:I think Philly got some guys who they can throw at Boston. Right. And, I mean, got some guys that can throw at the Knicks and give them hell, man. They got some guys coming off that bench who can go too. Yeah. So, damn, Joe, you done gave the goddamn Siri to Philly, huh? I just, I'm leaning a little bit toward Philly. Okay, okay. I know people going to say, damn, the Knicks beat his Hawks, so he ain't. No. I just, what I've seen from Philly, obviously Maxie, and if Embiid can continue to play like this, we ain't got no back-to-backs, Anken Ocho. No. Right. You know, you're going to have at least a day or two in between.
52:08Shannon Sharpe:So I think that should keep Embiid pretty healthy. And I just think the Knicks are going to have a problem trying to stop him. Because what do you do? Do you double him or do you play him one-on-one and let him get his points? If you double him, you open up the floodgates for Oubre, Paul George, Edgecombe, Grimes coming off the bench. Ed was coming off the bench. They got guys who can shoot that ball and who can score. So I just feel like Philly got – they got what it takes. And you remember last time he was beat up. He said he's probably 30%, 40%. He had that big old knee brace on. Yeah. Now he's much – he's more healthy than he was the last time they played.
52:49Shannon Sharpe:They got a handful. Yeah. They're going to have a handful now. but it's going to be a good it's going to be a great yeah i think it's going to be a really good series i think it's going to be a good series cat's going to have to break going to have to play some of his best ball but cat can pull him away from the basket yeah he can pull him away from the basket but if you philly you thinking damn it can cat really beat us from the three though oh i mean he ought to go six for ten from three to really beat us he's capable of doing it too yeah well he's gonna have to show us he's gonna have to show it now but he gotta keep huh He got to stay down there in that goddamn...
53:26Shannon Sharpe:He can't bang with Embiid. That ain't no matchup you want posted up Embiid. You want to keep Embiid away from that basket, Ocho. Now you make him one-dimensional. Now he makes himself one-dimensional. Let's say he can't. Let's say maybe he can't because Embiid is much bigger. Go down there and prove him wrong. No, you ain't got to prove him wrong. No, no, no, no, no. This ain't the chance to be proven nothing, don't you? Hey, Cat made his presence in the last series. He made his presence felt down in the box, not by the goddamn arc. That's Okonwu. That's not Joel Embiid. And then you got another big body when Joel Embiid goes to the bench, his drum dog.
54:13Shannon Sharpe:He ain't supposed to have drum dog. He ain't got no bricks in his back pocket. Hey, they match up well. because, look, if you got Mitchell Robinson playing against Drummond, that's a hell of a matchup. Uncle Ocho. Yeah, that's a matter. Cat against MB going to be a hell of a matchup considering the history that they have. It's been a little chippy when they play against each other. I think if Cat making that jump shot, it's going to be a long series. But I can't see him being consistent to where he going five for eight, six for ten from three because that's what he going to need. But here's the thing.
54:53Shannon Sharpe:Brunson got to guard somebody. Put him on Paul George. Paul George, get your ass down in the post. Oubre, you got to decide an advantage. That's who he going to guard. He going to guard Oubre. He ain't guarding Maxie. Okay, well, hey. Well, hey. Oubre, I'm going to need you to, hey. Oubre can get some easy buckets down there. Well, Oubre got to stay busy, Uncle Ocho. Meaning, he can't be a standstill target just waiting for the ball to come to him. He got to be cutting back dough. Setting back. You got to do the little small, minute things to be effective in this series for Oubre. Yes, he can catch and shoot the three.
55:29Shannon Sharpe:I think he going to do that well. But at the same time, he can't let Brunson just rest. So, you know, you got to keep his ass second guessing, bro. Be in the pick and roll. Be the screener. You know how you seek out? Okay, boom. Brunson, guard, Oubre. Oubre, you come set this pick. You know, I think that's typically, I think it's going to be Philly's approach. And Max is always going to be looking to probably get that mismatch, get Brunson on him. Yes. I don't like what I'm hearing from y 'all, man. What you don't like? I don't like what I'm hearing from y 'all. What you want to bet? Game one?

I don't like the fact that we're not giving goddamn Carl Anthony Towns any credit just because he get ready to face goddamn Joel Embiid and goddamn Drummond saying, oh, he can't go down in the block and he can't post up because they that much bigger. I don't like that. We ain't giving them boys no credit.
56:39I don't like the fact that you basically telling me Goddamn Cat can't have no goddamn game Unless he shoot the midi or the goddamn Three all series long What's his advantage So when you You still can't allow them to dictate and make you One dimensional because we feel He can't do it He don't have no choice but to do it He don't have no I'm just saying
57:05Shannon Sharpe:First of all Cat is not a post player He can post What did he show us he could do in the last series? I can get that high and be aggressive in the post. Cat is seven foot tall. He's posting up a guy 6 '9". Joel Embiid is 7 '2". 300 plus. Okay. Oh! Yo what? Nah. We ain't going. Okay. Get off me. Back up. Especially, man.
