Nightcap Hour 2: Celtics Joe Mazzula NAMED Coach of the Year + LeBron NOT TAKING Paycut for Cavs + What’s Worse: Postered OR Crossed? + Wemby Rookie Card GOES for $5.11 MILLION

16:36Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, I think you think as smart as LeBron is as savvy as a Basketball player that he is he understands now that I'm now that I've aged being the third or second option is probably better for me? No. No. No. That thought never crossed his mind.

17:00Chad Johnson:Because I don't think he feels there's somebody out there who's a better decision maker, playmaker, like all around player. He feels he's the best guy still who can do everything on the court. Yep. I mean he's shown that especially when everybody got hurt. He's shown he can do that. Yep. But are teams willing to see him in the same eyes and lens that he does? Yeah.

17:30Shannon Sharpe:But the teams aren't very good. He's LeBron James. He's going to sell tickets. Just like when Michael Jordan was on the Wizards. They weren't very good but they sold out. He was Michael Jordan. I want to see Michael Jordan.

17:50Shannon Sharpe:a guy told a story that he took his daughter to see he went to the funeral Babe Ruth and they say well why are you taking your daughter to the funeral she doesn't even know who Babe Ruth is but I can tell her one day she saw Babe Ruth

18:06he's still LeBron James yeah is he the same no but but his same lebron's lebron not being the same even at 41 yes he's still better than half the league depending on it is yeah we ain't just talking about no anybody yeah but

18:31Shannon Sharpe:lebron was so good that it didn't take much for you to put around him and he could win a game yeah But the league has gotten so much better, Joe. Better. Oh, Joe and Joe. And Joe, you know this. Those days are long, long gone. Yeah. Long, long gone. If you look at the teams that had deep playoff runs, they all have benches. Yep. And he can't play 42, 43 minutes anymore because the body doesn't have time to recover.

19:10Shannon Sharpe:it's just facts it's just life so the thing is he's gonna have to weigh is how much okay what's him what what is the number one thing that he's what's the most important thing to me is it location is it fit is it money what is it those are the questions that he got to ask himself joe i think it's a combination of all

19:38Chad Johnson:though okay i i don't think it's just one thing i think it's a combination like he want his worth money wise yeah i don't think he really he ain't into taking no damn cuts he ain't i don't think

19:48Shannon Sharpe:he gonna be in another day i'm just keeping it yes but joe 50 who got a year or two years for 50

19:55Chad Johnson:for 100 million well i don't know we got to look it up i don't know somebody got it here it'll take for one team. I think the combination is obviously the money has to be right because first, he's a basketball player, but he's also a businessman. He's a businessman first, so it has to make sense. It got to make sense, but then the fit. The fit, it has to be the right situation. Are you going back into a situation that puts you right back in the same boat you just left? Are you trying to win? Are you trying to win? So that comes into play as well. Are you still chasing another championship? yeah that's the case you might not be able to get 50 million and go somewhere else where a team is already constructed where you could where they can add you to the piece and you'd like the missing piece to the puzzle to give them a chance to go there and that that also might be if you're that missing piece you might have to do the same role you did last year in being the third option so it's so many variables coming to play you know it does he want to win another championship or have a chance at it or do you want to make 50 million and say look I'm in control of everything because I'm still one of the better players in the league even at 42 I think he definitely won another title

21:09Shannon Sharpe:for sure absolutely and I think deep down he believes he can win another title in the right situation there you go

21:16Chad Johnson:he's not going to go to no team that he don't think can win it nah nah you meaning like he ain't going to go just sign with the Chicago Bulls No, no, no. It's going to have to make some sense.

21:31Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, I agree with you, Joe. I don't see a situation like that. No.

21:42But look, I know he says he ain't gone on vacation,

21:45Shannon Sharpe:but LeBron has thought about this. The moment they did not extend that and he had to pick up that option, he started thinking about what was next.

21:54Chad Johnson:Yep. What was possible?

21:59Shannon Sharpe:nobody plans to fail. They just fail to plan. LeBron James is a planner. He's planned out every step of his life since he was 16. So now we get into a situation like this where he – and now all of a sudden, Joe, he just stopped planning. He's just like, you know what? I'm just going to throw caution to the wind. Whatever happens, happens. Does that strike you as LeBron James? A guy that leaves it to chance? I don't know and the funny thing about it too if you talk about LeBron being a guy that always plans and I think he's always two steps ahead of everybody else hell three steps ahead of everybody else but he knows what he gonna do we just don't know we're all in limbo like always before he did the

22:47Chad Johnson:decision that was already in place he already knew what he was gonna do ahead of time

22:53Shannon Sharpe:well He just knew he wasn't going back to Cleveland because they weren't going to get anybody. Now, he looked Chicago and I think the Knicks and the Heat. But when it came down to it, like D-Wade wasn't leaving Miami. Carmelo, it was supposed to be Carmelo, D-Wade, and LeBron. But Carmelo took that extra year and took the max money. Carmelo took the money.

23:20Chad Johnson:I don't blame him.

23:21Shannon Sharpe:LeBron and Bosch took less money in order to play together. Originally it wasn't supposed to be Bosch. It was supposed to be Melo, Bron and Wade.

23:33Chad Johnson:What that would have looked like. With Melo, Bron and Wade, I just think Bosch fit so well because he understood his role and he played it to the T. You know what I mean? Like with Melo there, cause he's so, he's such a prolific scorer. Yep. I just think things would have been a little different.

23:55Shannon Sharpe:I do too. I think it's a perfect situation. What happened, Chris Bosh, very unselfish. Kevin Love was a 24-13 guy before he got to Cleveland.

24:06Chad Johnson:Nasty.

24:07Shannon Sharpe:Kevin Love was 24-13. Kevin Love was at Utah, right? Or am I tripping? Minnesota. Minnesota. He could shoot the three like a shooter. Yes. Straight off that thing, boy. Rebounding. Then they turned that man into a 15-8 guy. Chris Bosh was 20-10. Yeah. It's not everybody can't everybody can't and everybody isn't willing. Aren't willing to sacrifice that much of their game, Joe, in order to win. Yeah.

24:46Chad Johnson:You got to really want to win, but to sacrifice that much. Because, you know, I think with Bosh, yeah, he was like 22 and 10 a night in Toronto, bro. And he left that to go play with them, obviously, with a chance to win multiple championships. That was a great move for Bosh. Yes. Great move. Hey, Unc. Yeah. I like what Joe just said. You talk about sacrifice. and as much as you and you and joe believe that lebron wants to be in charge you know maybe not the first option but at least the second option yes having the sacrifice to win another championship i have to go somewhere where the pecking order where i understand the pecking order even on lebron james and have to put my ego and check.

25:37There is one if I want another shot at it. Going out on top the right way, if this is going to be my last season, sometimes being the third option might be the best fit for you. As opposed to saying I'm LeBron James, I want to go somewhere while I'm still that guy and I can run the show.

25:55Shannon Sharpe:But the question is could you have gone to New England in year 5 or 6 and did what you did in year 11? nah hell nah what the hell but hey I was still young I was still in my prime I was still hungry LeBron is on the back end but see here's the difference he should be able to adapt to the situation based on his age did you believe you were still that same receiver in year 10, 11 that you were in year 5 or 6 oh hell nah I lost it a little LeBron still believes he can still get it done doesn't he Joe

26:29Chad Johnson:yeah yeah he still thinks he better than 95 97 % of the guys in the league. He does. Hey, Uncle Joe, and listen, I can be honest with you. I can see him sometime, Uncle Joe, there's certain things that they should do, and a dude was three, four yards behind me. Boy, I got about year nine and ten, and dudes in my hip pocket? Yeah. Hey, Joe, my open was three, four yards of separation, and this is open in the NFL. This is open. I always create enormous amounts of separation would look stupid. And I got about year nine and 10. I'm like, why is he this close? You're absolutely right. Hey, Joe, my moves wasn't working, Joe.

27:12Chad Johnson:Yeah. My bread and butter move, Joe. Hey, Ocho, I know, brother. I know. Look, look, look. That damn crossover just ain't crossing over like it used to. You know what I mean? For real. Joe, you crossing over and dribbling off your foot, going out about like Ocho, huh? That ain't don't hit the same no more. What? What? Hey, I'm glad you know it. It's the same, huh?

27:34Shannon Sharpe:It get tough, man. I mean, you get it like, damn. Man, how you, hey, Ocho, I ran around. Ocho, I ran around. Dude was so close. If he'd have been any closer, he'd have been in front of me. What the hell did you get there? The hell? Joe, I had my best songs. Hey. Man, I looked and I said, hold on. I'm like, hold on.

28:01ayo hey it hurts ain't nothing you can do about it either joe no about it and matter of fact and i i didn't i had pride too right i had pride i didn't want to go to marvin i didn't want to go to coach burkowski and say listen i'm really i'm really i'm not the same i'm not the same i really can't tell you what it is but i'm watching film and some of the things i was able to get away with the first, what, year three to maybe eight? Yeah. I'm going to need your help. I'm still going to say that. I need your help. Condensement splits, whatever you got to do. It just, man, that was a tough pill to swallow.

28:42Tough pill to swallow, bro.

28:44Shannon Sharpe:Because you know what it is, Ocho? The thing is, look, I could still have a game or two, Joe. Because you got to realize, I set the record in year 13. the most receiving yards for a tight end was in year 13. So I could still have a game or two here and there. I just couldn't run it. I used to go get 137, 157, 168, 140, 80, 90, 70. Man, I'd get you 105, throw a couple of 30s in there, get you a 75, then I'm going to shoot you a 110, then I'm going to get you a couple of 20s and 10s. it just got harder and harder. And I'm like, damn. It is what it is. I'm going to give everything I can, but hey, the moves, I mean, I go a game and I might get covered one time.

29:35Shannon Sharpe:Now all of a sudden I'm going to feel like, damn, man, why he threw the ball? Yeah, I'm so glad he didn't threw that one. That might have been going the other way if he threw that ball. it's so crazy too joe where it was such a it was such a wake-up call you gotta just to think about this to show you how crazy i was and how confident i was in my game joe at the beginning of the season right i looked at the schedule everybody we're playing so i took the dbs that were on each team that we're playing i put each db their first there's their starter and the one on the other side and I put them all on a laminated sheet.

30:13Chad Johnson:Okay. Beginning of the season and I put it in my locker. And at the top of it said, who covered Ocho in 2005, matter of fact, that was the year. And I put everybody on notice. None of y 'all going to be able to stop me. Joe just at the beginning of the season, I'm talking trash. Well, I got these dudes' names in my locker and I'm telling you not going to be able to stop me. Joe, you know how hard it was to go out there and already, I didn't put the pressure on myself already, Joe. Right. About to go out there and watch everybody. Joe, everybody got that work in 2005, Joe. Everybody. Everybody.

30:50And then I talked trash through the media leading up to the game during the week. Well, I got about, it got about 2009 to 2010. They talk about bring T.O. in. Hell yeah, bring him in. I knew I wasn't the same.

31:03Chad Johnson:Right. I knew I wasn't the same. That's why I stood on the table. Marvin, Mike Brown, man, listen, man, please, whatever you do, one of my favorite receivers. I have no problem taking a backseat because I can see watching film, I ain't the same. Yeah, yeah.

31:19Shannon Sharpe:It's hard, man.

31:20Chad Johnson:It is, bro.

31:22Shannon Sharpe:But even though I wasn't the same and Rod had ascended, in my eyes, I still was the second best receiver. Yeah.

31:29Chad Johnson:Right.

31:30Shannon Sharpe:Even though Rod had ascended, I ain't got no problem with that. But I'm like, hold on, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm like, Bron, I ain't the third best. I might not be first, but I damn sure ain't third or fourth. But the thing is, though, Ocho and Joe, you know this. All they do is they look at you. They ain't comparing you against other receivers. Joe, they're not comparing you against other twos. They compare you, Joe, when you was 27.

31:58Chad Johnson:Yeah.

31:58Shannon Sharpe:When you was 30. Ocho, they're comparing you in year three, year four. Woo. They would let you, hey, when you're running off pro first, you know, he started in the Pro Bowl, started in the Pro Bowl, started in the Pro Bowl, first team all pro, first team all pro, first team all pro, first team all pro. That's what they compare you to. Yeah. And still, even though the guys, I wasn't the same, I was still better. I still, in my estimation, you go back and look at the year I retired, they still wasn't five tight ends better than I was.

32:32Chad Johnson:Right.

32:33Shannon Sharpe:I'm not so sure they were damn three. Right. the only one I can say hands down that was better than I was was Gonzo he's the only one I can say hands down was better than I was when I retired go look at the numbers

36:06Shannon Sharpe:So, Joe, what's worse, getting dumped on or getting crossed over on a jump or hit on you? Ew.

36:14Chad Johnson:Getting crossed up and somebody hitting a jump on you is tough. See, because it's like Rudy Gobert. Like, if he get dunked on, he a shot blocker. So it ain't, you know what I mean? It ain't really like that. But if somebody cross you up and make you fall and make the shot, yeah.

36:32Shannon Sharpe:I think that's worse. Joe, what about what Castle did to Hartenstein?

36:36Chad Johnson:Ooh!

36:40Chad Johnson:That was just wrong. But Ant-Man got some more. Ant-Man got some. Exactly. Ant-Man got that dude from Toronto. Uh, uh, uh. Nah, he got. Watanabe? What's the dude who was here in Atlanta? But he for the Clippers now. He was playing in Utah. Oh, John Collins. Well, hey, that one? That man got some. He got, hey, them bad.

37:08Shannon Sharpe:Them bad, I don't know, Joe. I ain't trying to get on no poster. Man, look how many posters Joe and God got hanging up. He done got Mutombo. He done got Patrick Ewing. man he dunked on somebody in Utah. And a crowd, and a fan, he's talking about pick on somebody your own size. He came down and dunked on Melvin Turpin. He's like, he big enough? They used to call him the trimmer. He's 6 '11". He dunked on him, and like, he big enough? Yeah, yeah. I don't want either. But boy, look here. Joe, that dunk, man, it's something about getting,

37:45Chad Johnson:I guess it depends on who's the dunk because you look at Vince Carter he got so many bodies he got some

37:51Shannon Sharpe:when he called Lonzo Morni

37:54Chad Johnson:he called he called Zo like this yeah in Miami yeah he called that was nasty I think it's more embarrassing to have somebody cross you over and the person fall and you hit it and you hit that mini most of the time it's always a mid-range shot to it Yeah. Get you and pop pop and you fall back. Or you step on a foot and because you step on a foot, you go falling back and they pull up and hit it. I think that's way more embarrassing. Hey, that's how I'm gonna do your ass. When I hit you with this crossover. Cause I know you think you got this piece. You hit with the killer crossover, Joe. Hey, see, you were doing just fine.

38:36Chad Johnson:And here you go, you going, you - I just keep it at 100. I just, I seen it. I'm just keeping it at 100.

38:41Shannon Sharpe:Okay. Yeah. I mean, you know, Dominique kept somebody on his post. Dominique was dunking on people like he was dunking in the dunk contest. Double pumping, between the legs.

38:54Chad Johnson:I think Dominique probably, not probably, but he definitely one of the best dunker, but power dunkers. Yeah, I was gonna say that.

39:02Shannon Sharpe:Oh yeah, he was a power dunker. Because he was a two feet, Joe, he was a two foot dunker. You know guys that dunk with two feet, they generate a lot of power.

39:11Chad Johnson:Hey, that boy.

39:13Shannon Sharpe:Sean Kemp. Remember Sean Kemp got Chris Gatlin and when he dunked on him, he like.

39:21Hey, hey man.

39:23Chad Johnson:You talking about them doulas, they had problems with the rim. You hear me? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They had appointments that needed to be made. Yeah. And as small as he is, Westbrook was a power dunker too. Yeah, he was, he was.

39:36Shannon Sharpe:But I don't know who he was angry at. What's he calling? D-Rose. D-Rose jump off two feet. Guys that jump off two feet, they get to that launch point? Okay. Rap. D-Rose. He's so springy to be so little. Who? D-Rose. He was springy, bouncy.

39:55Chad Johnson:Ocho, he made it look effortless, bro. Yes. When he exploded and he wanted to jump, look, it ain't even necessarily the dunks for me. It's like I look at guys, especially guards, how they shoot their floaters. Like D. Rose probably had one of the best floaters, bro. I'm saying because he knew how to use his strength and power and his athleticism along with his finesse. Like he had great touch as well. Hey, that boy, that was special.

40:22Shannon Sharpe:Nice. Yeah. I mean, hey, W.A., you know, Doc was a one-foot dunker.

40:29Chad Johnson:Yeah.

40:29Shannon Sharpe:Dr. J. Yeah, yeah. when he rocked the baby on Michael Cooper and brought that thing back.

40:36Chad Johnson:Yeah.

40:38Shannon Sharpe:Hey, Magic was telling a story like when he took off, cause that was on Magic now, when he took off on one side and went up under and did and looped it. Magic said he was just looking like, man, is he ever gonna come down?

40:59Shannon Sharpe:But yeah, man, hey. And now these guys, these guys crossing guys. How many guys Steph Curry done crossed though? See, Steph, I think it'd be worse because Steph because Steph crossing you up, shooting it, and turning it and running down court. He ain't even looking at it. Before he even go in. Yeah, he ain't even looking at the ball. Like, hold on, man. What you doing?

41:20Chad Johnson:And he's such a great shooter. that you have to honor everything he does. It doesn't matter. Whatever type of dribble move, you got to honor it because, hell, you know if he get an inch, it's cash. Oh, he pulling it.

41:34Shannon Sharpe:He pulling it.

41:39Shannon Sharpe:Victor, ooh, Victor Wimanyamas. He had a one-on-one Panani's Prism Black Parallel card, sold for$5.11 million in a private sales, via Fanix Collects. Wait, always. The card is the most expensive known of a non-autographed NBA card, and the third card sold for$5 million in 2026. The complete list of cards that have sold for over$5 million. Michael Jordan has the highest to date, or he and Kobe, 12 million, 12.93 million. Damn. Kobe also has a 12.93 million card. Mickey Mantle, 12.6. LeBron James, 10 million. Honus Wagner, 7.25. Babe Ruth, 7.2. Aaron Judge, 5.2. And Victor Wimiyama, 5.1. Hey, how is this card so valuable so early?

42:39Shannon Sharpe:Because he's so good so early. And guess what? They say it's only going to get better.

42:44Chad Johnson:Hey, hey. Y 'all ain't used to collect cards, man?

42:47Shannon Sharpe:No. With what?

42:50Chad Johnson:In order to collect cards, you gotta collect money. Yeah. Hold on, hold on, hold on. When I was in, I think, I wanna say early high school years, like 10th grade, I used to have a binder full of cards. I gotta get my binder, man. I got some stuff in there that's worth something. I got a couple of Kobe's and Penny Hardaway's and Jordan's in there, Iverson's. Hey, I used to collect cards, Joe, right?

43:17Shannon Sharpe:But I'll be, I don't know. As they send it to her, she'll go through it. As collect cards. But she don't know how to hold on to them because as soon as she get them, she turn them over and they'd be worth triple in two days. Hey, Joe, the cards you used to open, did it have the bubble gum in the back of the pack?

43:35Chad Johnson:Nah, nah, nah. This wasn't the bubble gum. I think the baseball cards they used to collect. Baseball. Yeah, they used to have a little bubble gum in the pack at the time.

43:45Shannon Sharpe:Well, the Hornets Wagner card, it came in the back of a cigarette. It came in the back of cigarettes. Real? Yeah, the Hornets Wagner card, most people threw it away. They didn't realize what it was. And that's what a lot of things, don't you? You don't realize how – think about all the old school cards. Cars, excuse me, the Camaros and the Cooters and all that. People didn't know. How valuable they would be today? Nope.

44:09Chad Johnson:Hey, y 'all tripping though.

44:10Shannon Sharpe:Had a Camaro, had a Nova, had the Chevelle, had a three six, Raleigh Blue with the red. Yeah, had all that, had a Nova. Yeah,

44:27Chad Johnson:I'm probably sitting on about 10 million over here, man, all these cars I got. Yeah, hey, what them cars there, Joe? I got them, I got them put up. I got them put up behind that. I mean, exactly Widow. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, turbo, hold on, slow down now. Slow down now.

44:45Shannon Sharpe:You coming to get a mocho? Snatch all that right up off of you.

44:48Chad Johnson:Yeah, I'm probably sitting on about 10, 12 million. I got these Kobe's and AI's and Jordan's and many hard away, these rookie cards, man. Well, you got a Jordan rookie? Come on, man, come on. Hey, let me get that so I can have him sign it. Nah, I got a sign, that's what I'm trying to tell you.

45:07Shannon Sharpe:Well, you have to probably go, you have to go get them graded. Hey, Joe, let me get that rookie card, Joe. And see if they're eight or nine or 10. Yeah.

45:18Chad Johnson:No, that'd be like me handing you$7 million. That's the point. If you're going to hand it to me, I'm going to take it. Which one you got? Let me see you take it with your tough ass. Come over here and take it. You come over here with your tough ass and take it. Come on.

45:31Shannon Sharpe:Take that. Come on. Come on. Just tell me where they at. Just come to the house. He'll tell you in your ear where they are. Right. I don't want to have to go looking for it. I just want him to tell me exactly where it is. I'm going to have him out and open.

45:45Chad Johnson:I'm going to have him sitting on the kitchen island. That's where I'm going to have him. OK. Yeah. Make sure your dog free, too. OK, I will. I will. I will. I got you. It ain't going to be two ass woman. Your ass woman and the dog.

46:01Shannon Sharpe:Man, these cars getting. Cards. I went to a dinner one night at Michael Rubin's house and they had a bunch of collectors and they was talking about man this guy had just paid 8 million dollars for a jersey I think it was a jersey or a pair of shoes and everybody was talking about it had to be game worn damn that was me had to be game worn who was it remember the player It was Jordan. It was a Jordan jersey. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Damn. Game worn and signed, huh? I think so. I could imagine.

51:33Shannon Sharpe:It's time for Q and A. Hey, send me one of them cards, Joe. I got you, bro.

51:42Shannon Sharpe:Get out to my kid. Before we get to our Super Chat, we've got four video voicemails from our Discord. Let's take a listen. What up, Unk? What up, Ux? What up, King Iso? Hey, we at work with it. Y 'all be having us cry every day at work. But do y 'all have a favorite pair of retros, as in Jordans? Let me know.

52:09Chad Johnson:Yeah, I got a favorite pair. So back in 2000, 2006, when I joined Jordan brand, they came out with the Jordan 5 retros. And back then, we used to, you know, if you was a Jordan athlete, you used to get about two, three pairs of different retros. You could almost damn near pick. Like, it was super sweet back then. They didn't cut back a lot nowadays. They don't really have retros like that. But anyway, they came in with the Jordan 5 retro, so I had them in all the Hawks colors. I had some red ones. I had some funky colors, bro. And the Jordan 5 for me was always my favorite. That's my favorite Jordan.

52:56Chad Johnson:So for me to have it as a P.E., like still to this day, I still keep me a clean, fresh pair of 5s, bro. I like the Jordan 5, preferably the black ones with the gray on the side. Yeah. with their metallic gray tongue, they ain't nasty.

53:15Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, you're not in the shoe game, are you? Nah, man. That's one thing I never really got into. For me, I don't wear Jordans often, but when I did love them, it was the basic colors of the Jordan Wands. And I used to hoop them. People used to make fun of me, talk about, why you out here hooping in Jordan Wands? I know they hurt your feet. And I never could understand it because it just, I hate my foot being constricted. I want to feel the floor. I want to feel the court. And I just enjoyed it. I remember I played in a celebrity game with Gilly in Philly. Brother, brotherly something. I forgot the name of it.

53:54And hey, Joe, I wore a pair of Chuck Taylors. I wore a pair of black high top Chuck Taylors. And I was able to play, you know, you ain't got no tape. I was like, nah, I like to feel the floor. It's weird. I don't know why I'm like that. I don't never sprain my ankle or nothing. Yeah, oh my God.

54:12Shannon Sharpe:I mean, I got, ooh. I think for me, what changed it that really took it to another level was the Concord. When he came out with that Concord. Yeah. What's that? And then he came out with them reds. Yeah. And then he came out with the cool grays. It was a wrap.

54:30Chad Johnson:Them pad leather joints, Ocho.

54:33Shannon Sharpe:With the red bottom.

54:35Chad Johnson:Yes.

54:36Shannon Sharpe:The black patent leather, the Concord with the black had the white and the black. That was the first one that he came out with. Then he came out with the breads. And then he came out with the cool. He was a rat.

54:47Chad Johnson:Hey, when he came out with them Concords, I remember like it was yesterday, but I was in high school.

54:53Shannon Sharpe:I got somebody original. I got somebody when they first came out, you know, they done retro, they done retro the cool. They done retro everything. I still got some of the original seamen.

55:03Chad Johnson:Do you really?

55:04Shannon Sharpe:I do. I don't know, you might put them on, you might take a step and then disintegrate. This thing gonna fall apart. Yeah. I've had something to do that, Joe. Yeah, I have too. I wore them to work. Man, I got it there. Man, I look like Fred Flintstone. I put my foot on the brake.

55:20Chad Johnson:Hey, hold on, hold on. Shoe came back through the bottom. Hey, because I used to have a real nice shoe collection. So I called myself trying to work out and practice some retro. Yeah. Something came all the way apart, man.

55:33Shannon Sharpe:All the way, they absolutely will. I mean, mine, and they were in a, but you gotta realize those shoes are, the seamen came out, what, 88?

55:43Chad Johnson:Yeah.

55:45Shannon Sharpe:So you're talking about a shoe down there 40 years old. Even though you put it up in a nice, cool area and all that stuff. Yeah, yeah. Shoes wasn't meant to be preserved unless you got the Dorothy or the Ruby slipper.

55:56Chad Johnson:Right, right, right.

55:58Shannon Sharpe:Other than that. But no, I'm trying to think. If I had a pair of Jordan, I don't really wear them that much now. I'm more of an Air Max guy.

56:06Chad Johnson:Yeah.

56:07Shannon Sharpe:I'm probably, probably the next year or so, I'm probably gonna get rid of all the retros, but I got the Miros, I got the, the duck, the PE's.

56:26Chad Johnson:Yeah, oh yeah. You got a nice little shoot.

56:29Shannon Sharpe:The gum bottoms, I got the Columbia's, the OG.

56:32Chad Johnson:And the thing is though, when you got a good collection like that, man, you got some dudes who pay top dollar to take that off your hand now.

56:41Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. It's worth something. I got basically, mine are like 12 and a half, 13.

56:46Chad Johnson:Yeah. Which is a good size. Yeah, yeah, they paying top dollar for that. Yeah.

56:51Shannon Sharpe:I'm more of an, well, I'm more of a croc guy. You be honest. You ain't had crocs.

56:59Chad Johnson:Hey, you want to let them feet breathe a little bit though.

57:02Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, the Air Force was. Now my feet done got bad, man. I just, I'm trying to go for comfort. You might well put them drawers away and switch the sketches.

1:17:32Shannon Sharpe:Now the Spurs see how it feels when another team has the advantage with the whistle. Man, most of the time, y 'all get the whistle. I mean, ain't nobody compete with OKC when it comes to the whistle. I'll get your point. Can someone tell women to stop jump shooting jumpers in three and get behind the damn, getting the damn paint? Well, Joe say he tired of that pressure, all that leaning on him and pushing on him. and it's a zapping his legs that is making him expend so much energy.

1:18:02Chad Johnson:Yeah, watch. Look, look. If y 'all watch him, even on offense when he's outside the three, he get a chance to kind of hunch over and, you know, catch his breath. You know what I mean? Yeah, you take your ass aside of that paint. We putting hands all on you. Hands, feet, everything. You know what I mean? He tired of that damn resistance.

1:18:22Shannon Sharpe:iso if you could pick any one player all time to start your team who you picking same with you uncle chad to start an nfl team one player all time oh oh i saw who you taking

1:18:36Chad Johnson:one player one player to give me wimby here

1:18:42Shannon Sharpe:all time so you take a one player you get one player you taking wimby over jordan you taking Wimby over Kobe, LeBron, Kareem, Shaq?

1:18:51Chad Johnson:Right now. Right now. Yeah, I'm taking Wimby.

1:18:58Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, who you taking? Football, right? Yep. I'm going with 12, man. Brady? Yeah, I'm going with 12. You can't go wrong with that. I'm taking my quarterback. You're going with seven? I'll take a seven.

1:19:20Shannon Sharpe:Spurs playing like they don't have a seven plus to use in the paint. They do. He just don't spend no time down there.

1:19:29Chad Johnson:That ain't his game neither, man. Like, you know, they've been forcing – you talking about Wimby, right?

1:19:35Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, talking about Wimby.

1:19:36Chad Johnson:Yeah, they forced him and tried to make him into this low post player, this elbow, catch at the elbow. So that really hadn't really been his game. He just tall and every damn body. So you feel like he belongs right there. That man want to be out there dancing with that ball, man. But when he does assert himself down there, and he a much different player, and obviously the outcome is different, but it comes with some resistance.

1:20:06Shannon Sharpe:Yep. Two things can be true. refs were worse than the 0-2 Kings ref in the third quarter and OKC role players made shot. Lou Dort, your time in OKC is up after this year. Castle and others need to protect the ball.

1:20:22Chad Johnson:Damn, Lou Dort? You think it's up, huh? Probably. Hold on, you must think somebody's gonna pay him or you don't think they're gonna pay him.

1:20:34Shannon Sharpe:They're not gonna pay him. They're not gonna pay him. Why? When they got Wallace that can come up. They got Wallace that can do that. They got Caruso that can do that. But he's a big piece of what they do. Man, Joe, you know, hey, they're going to have to make some decisions. Now, I had a situation with Jalen Williams. In the Lakers series, you said, man, you done lost your mind. We're going to see that. They're going to be Barry watching now because they're about to get to this apron. Now, they got all these draft picks that they can't sign. They're going to have to make some decisions, Joe. Ocho.

1:21:09Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

1:21:10Chad Johnson:Yeah. I just feel like Luke Dory does all the dirty work that you ain't really got guys who can do. I mean, yeah, Wallace came, but he comes off the bench. But to have a couple of those guys, bro, that's... Like, I think we're just talking about it now, but if they end up winning the finals, you're going to have to figure that out. You got to keep him.

1:21:29Shannon Sharpe:They're not. Too much money.

1:21:33Chad Johnson:He a free agent after the year? After this year? I think so.

1:21:38Shannon Sharpe:What is Lou Doherty? He's a red, isn't he?

1:21:46Shannon Sharpe:They're going to try to pack in some things because they got three first-round picks, but they only got one spot left.

1:21:53Chad Johnson:Yeah, they're going to have to figure that out.

1:21:58Shannon Sharpe:Is he a player option? Club option. What's his club? How much is it? Oh, no, he gone. They ain't paying 18.2. Absolutely not. This one on Wimby. He wanted to float around the perimeter and not get in the paint to score. Have the same energy for Wimby like they did for Chet. That's been my only thing, Joe. I've said this for Wimby. He spends far too much time. He's easy to guard out there. Now, granted, he's making shots like he was in game one. He's making shots like he was in game four. But I'm saying, bro, he's got to get down to get closer and get easier buckets. He's got to.

1:22:38Chad Johnson:Yeah, for... See, the only thing is, is when he plays well and he's playing on the perimeter like this, nobody really says nothing. It's just like, okay, cool. If he ain't really made shots like that, you feel like he got to get down there in the paint. But his game is a face-up game. He ain't no back-to-the-basket player. You know what I mean? I think just because he's 7 '5", he's able to obviously do it. but he want to catch it face up, dribble, catch a little rhythm, and then go into his shot because, hell, in any game, he's going to have an advantage. Yeah, but Joe, instead of catching it at 28 feet,

1:23:16Shannon Sharpe:can he catch it at 18? Right. He still can do that. He can still, hey, catch the ball, 18, turn around and face up, and let's go to work. Can he do that? Does it always have to be at or beyond the three-point line before he gets the ball?

1:23:31Chad Johnson:Well, when he catching at 18 and turning the face, I still got to get them damn hands off me. But if I'm out here at 25 feet and I'm catching, ain't nobody touching me, that's what he don't want. I don't think he really wants that physicality is what I'm saying.

1:23:52Shannon Sharpe:This is an old lady who kind of remembered that old OGs, Muhammad, Sam Cooke, Robinson, Clay. without about the culture. Okay. One about who's going to have a voice with Unk. Recent comments wanted to go. I streamed. We F up. Don't think Unk was that guy, but he is. I don't even know what this is. I don't know either, so. But, Nihar, thank you for commenting. What up, Big Three? Unk, I saw your episode with Daniel Cormier, Podcast Champion Mindset. It was a great episode. So similar to what you had, DC, on Club Shay Shay. Yeah, I had a great time with DC. He's an easy talk. I mean, he loved the sport.

1:24:37Shannon Sharpe:He loves other sports. And, you know, when you compete and you perform at that level, obviously you've got to have a championship mindset. So I had a great time, and thank you, guys. Appreciate it. Can you shout out my son, True, for his ninth birthday out of Detroit? What up, though? True, Dad, love you, my boy. We sending him to Orlando with the grandparent. Spirit done messed up the game what

1:25:06wow

1:25:07Shannon Sharpe:but I don't know what it true happy night birthday man hey bro thank you for tuning in I appreciate that happy night birthday he said he's going down to going down to his grandparents in Orlando I'm sure the grandparents probably going to have him at Disney Disney, Epcot, Busch Gardens, boy, everything down there. Yeah, yeah, Joe. Ocho, that Busch Garden, you know Joe Dick. Busch Gardens.

1:25:42Chad Johnson:Busch Gardens. Yeah, Joe, you know. What's that? Ocho, tell it, Ocho, come on. He know what it is. You know, it's only one place where the bush is at. Man, I don't know. They went over my head, man. I tell you, y 'all look too advanced for me. I had to catch on. You got to talk slow so I know. You know what I mean? Hey, you got to slow it down a little bit. You know what I mean?

1:26:08Shannon Sharpe:Yo, I – yo, I so – okay, what's up? What y 'all think about Giannis to the Spurs? Any chance it could happen this summer? Absolutely. They don't need him. No. Hell no. You want women to grow? Women don't need to take a backseat to Giannis?

1:26:27Chad Johnson:you got a great thing going you got a better chance of lebron and yon is teaming up yeah

1:26:36Shannon Sharpe:oh joe go watch joe's bag work video and watch how he saws paul pierce stand down my boy stand

1:26:43Chad Johnson:down man i just started study joe man hey i can tell you what move joe is gonna do based on where he is on the court if you got the ball in his left hand most of the time he'll twing twing left left and come back right if he got the ball in his right hand he's on the right side of the court he's gonna twink twink twice twice to the right and come back to the left i didn't i know joe man

1:27:02Shannon Sharpe:and ray i know him like a book that's dang joe i just i just studied this move in the in the low block or the low post if you catch it if he's on the left side if he's on the left side of of the rim and he's playing with his back to the post he's gonna he's gonna fake right and come back and shoot and shoot I already know I done studied them

1:27:25Chad Johnson:everything you're going to do I'm ready hey chat I got to update my damn resume I see that Joe I promise you I've been talking trash like this because I've studied only seven years worth of film based on the moves you like to do based on where you are where your body placement is on the court and it's the same regardless of who you plan So I mean, I got it. I got it. I'm ready. I'm ready. But that's how I know. And it's not like you change. So when we play, I'm going to know exactly where you're going.

1:27:57Shannon Sharpe:You ready for that? You swiping it every time? No. I'm going to play. I'm going to favor the side that he wants to go to. That you know he's coming back to. Yeah. Yeah.

1:28:07Chad Johnson:Hey, Joe. Yeah. The problem you're going to have is that you're so small, I ain't going to even see you when I raise up. You know what I'm saying? Hey, Joe. I raise up into that tall man jump shot. I ain't gonna even see you, bro. Yo, the funny thing about it is you gotta bring the ball up. I'm swiping down on the ball when you bringing it up, Joe. That's what I'm saying. My pickup placements, you ain't gonna know cause they so high. My pickup placements are high. I don't have to dip. You know, I can't - You see, and that's the problem. I'm gonna be in your shirt, Joe. I'm gonna be in the chest.

1:28:40I'm gonna be on you like this, Joe. Get that close up with you, Joe. Hey, I'm gonna be, hey, and when I slide these puppies, boy, it's a wrap, boy. Yeah, I study, Joe.

1:28:56Chad Johnson:I study. Hey, I'm gonna make sure Chad has something good, boy, they can talk about for a long time. I promise you that. And you gonna be mad as hell. But how the hell he know everywhere I'm at? How you in my hip pocket? Like, what the hell?

1:29:10Shannon Sharpe:Sup, fellas. TJ here, Unk, Ocho, Iso. What does women need to do in the off season and to improve his game, get stronger. Yeah. Stronger base.

1:29:20Chad Johnson:You got to keep just working on them legs, bro. You got to have a stronger base because that's what guys going to always try to use the advantage. That's to get low and push you out and be physical. Because, hell, outside of that. Yeah, outside of that, there's nothing you can do.

1:29:35Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Because, Larry, the taller you are, the less you have of it.

1:29:39Chad Johnson:Yeah. Go ahead, Ocho. I was going to say, remember when Giannis came in the league, he was he was wiry like that yeah i mean obviously yeah he was why are you just like that yana got that yana's got that muscle on him that man yeah man i'm going when we can put on yeah when we got

1:29:59Shannon Sharpe:that kd frame yeah yeah he gave five pounds actually katie gave five ounces since he's been in the nba

1:30:06Chad Johnson:yeah yeah but i think i think he get that base strong because he already got a nice touch around down the goal. Absolutely does. Even I'm saying, even if he ain't dunking it, even if he five or seven feet from the goal, he still got a super nice touch. So by getting that base stronger where you can withstand that pressure, you'll be all right.

1:30:29Shannon Sharpe:No one wants to talk about Wimby being under 10 boards in back to back game. Yeah, I mean, they've done a great job of like when the ball goes up, of putting a body on him and don't let him run free. Yeah. You know, he had the 24. They, you know, maybe didn't realize he was going to be that active.

1:30:48Chad Johnson:Nah.

1:30:49Shannon Sharpe:But since the first two games, they've done a great job. In the last three games, they've done a great job of keeping him off the glass.

1:30:55Chad Johnson:Yeah. Yeah. And they do a great job. I'm saying OKC guards, they be attacking him. Like, they're not trying to go around him a whole lot, trying to finish. They going right at his body, trying to get a foul. or hopefully, you know, that way it kind of knocks him out to play to where he can't get the rebound and they're getting putbacks and things like that.

1:31:16Shannon Sharpe:Exactly. Go right at him because he's going to challenge and then here come their big right behind him to get the rebound and get the putback.

1:31:21Chad Johnson:Yep.

1:31:21Shannon Sharpe:Tony Brothers and the other two blind mice did a number tonight to help us run the house. And with that being said, you can't carefully turn the ball over. Hey, when you said, and the other two blind mice, that was a good one. Hey, whoever said that, that was a good one. That was a good one. I like that. Ocho not going to make any shots. He's going to smoke ISO. Have him looking like Harden, a cone.

1:31:48Chad Johnson:They saying you ain't going to make no shots? No, I'm going to have you looking like Harden, a cone. Man, please. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Where I'm from, partner, if you couldn't play defense, you couldn't play. Hey, Joe, you just seen me playing defense on some of the top college players in college football right now, right? You seen they couldn't go nowhere, right? You see me knocking everybody down, right, Joe? Yeah. It's going to be the same thing for you because you ain't know it as fast as them right now. Okay. Well, I want to see you come do that over here with your tough ass. All right.

1:32:18Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Yeah. Man, y 'all had all that food for a kickoff with no grill, just chips, alcohol, and music. Those takes were funny. Who are you guys' top five teammates ever? Oh, top five? Yeah. up. Parson TJ Houshmins Adam Sean Smith funny as hell. Justin Smith I'm not sure if y 'all remember Justin Smith he was a number just he went up going to the 49ers yeah Justin Smith and probably probably to the round at my five uh mine's probably sean marion you know sean uh sean used to come to uh he used to come to arkansas in the summertime he got family in arkansas okay uh

1:33:14Chad Johnson:josh smith him and his pops used to come to arkansas and hang out they used to come down little rock and hang out uh i'm gonna throw jeff teague in there we had some good times uh oh q rich quentin richardson we played together only one year uh with the sons but we hung out probably more than anybody you know they're on the team his hey we used to have 2k tournaments at the crib uncle ocho he bring his partner over we he come over my crib i have my My boys, we play 2K all day, bro. I have tournaments all day. You know how to play 2K, Joe? Man, I'm mean in 2K, old Joe. I know you can't play that, but don't act like you can play that.

1:34:01Chad Johnson:I think where I'm at, Faux, that's Faux?

1:34:03Shannon Sharpe:Yep.

1:34:07Chad Johnson:Let's see, who else?

1:34:14Chad Johnson:I probably...

1:34:18Chad Johnson:Oh, uh, Gennaro Pargo. Uh, we played college ball together and, uh, we had a chance to play here in Atlanta together for, I think two years. That's my dog.

1:34:33Shannon Sharpe:Top five.

1:34:41Shannon Sharpe:I'm assuming y 'all didn't know nobody picked no college. So I'm assuming we doing all NFL. I'm going to say Keith Burns is one.

1:35:03Shannon Sharpe:Seven.

1:35:14Shannon Sharpe:Butts.

1:35:18Shannon Sharpe:Probably Ray and Woody.

1:35:25Shannon Sharpe:Because contrary to what has transpired over the years since then, we did those two years in Baltimore, we did everything. There was never a situation where if you saw one of us, you saw the other two of us. If you saw them, you saw me. And if you saw me, you saw them. Especially when we was in Baltimore. Season over, we go to Vegas, we go to L.A., we hang. so we had some great time we had some really really great times sorry Ocho the man behind you got the layup dog yeah you didn't miss Ocho Ocho Madrid isn't very good so that's not saying much

1:36:05Shannon Sharpe:Ocho Frico Ocho needs to chill Ocho can't hoop O.K.C. in six oh it's okay you see my wife fritzy uh happy birthday she just turned 21. oh you got married already 21 okay okay okay okay Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear. Who? Fritzie. Fritzie. Happy birthday to you. Hey, I got a good voice on me, huh, Joe? She old.

1:36:52Chad Johnson:You ain't bad. You ain't bad. You fat for a squat. Yeah, me too bad. What? Nah. I hear what you saying. You hear me? Nah, I hear you. I just repeat it. I say you fair for a square. Okay, okay. Hey, let me tell you, but you ain't doing nothing but making it worse for yourself, boy. Huh? Okay.

1:37:15Shannon Sharpe:Happy birthday, Fritzney. You need to host the instigating class. Man, that be Joe and Ocho. I ain't doing nothing.

1:37:23Chad Johnson:Nah, you do your job. You play your partner. You play your partner. Come on Joe, man. You play your part, it's okay.

1:37:29Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, yeah. Hey, Ocho, this gentleman said he's 100 % disabled from the military and I'm cooking Ocho 1v1 and I'm 5 '7". Let me know when you can come back to Cincinnati. Man, so he 100%. 100 % disabled? Mobility challenged. Let me hear the wheelchair, huh? I'm saying he mobility challenged. I mean, well, you know, people out there talking about talking about people that's, so we try to lose the term. We don't say homeless. We say unhoused. We don't say disabled. We say mobility challenged. Okay. Well, I'm going to push him out of the wheelchair.

1:38:15You got a chill.

1:38:16Chad Johnson:You got a chill. He came at me. I mean, what you mean?

1:38:20Shannon Sharpe:It's fair game. What if Ron went to the Clippers and teams up with the clock?

1:38:27Chad Johnson:Who they bigs though? They just gave up Zubat.

1:38:30Shannon Sharpe:They ain't got no bigs. They ain't got no bigs. He gonna be right back. He gonna be right back in the same.

1:38:34Chad Johnson:Man, if Bradley, the Lakers, he getting his ass out the West.

1:38:43Shannon Sharpe:Why is it so hard for the media to tell LeBron to hang it up? It's over, man. Go enjoy your life because the media doesn't have that responsibility.

1:38:50Chad Johnson:Right, and the man still playing at a high level.

1:38:53Shannon Sharpe:Let me ask you a question. The media didn't tell Jordan to go. They didn't tell Kobe. They didn't tell. The media never told any other great player when to hang it up. So why is it the media's responsibility to tell him? And again, most of the time, guys leave. They just don't have anything in the tank. Now, if you want to say LeBron James is not going to win another title, okay I'm not going to find you too tough on that considering I don't know where he's going to be next year but if you say the man I mean like he can't play that's a lie right that's a lie that's just not true we've never seen somebody at the age of 38 39 40 bleed this consistent late in their career now whether or not that equates to another championship that's another story to debate but I'm talking about when did the media reserve the right to be able to tell players okay it's time for you to go that's not their responsibility their job is to report give you a story you know storylines and report what's going on their job is not to tell somebody when to go that's a personal and a family decision not a media decision

1:40:14Chad Johnson:unless they ain't calling your ass

1:40:17Shannon Sharpe:no more yeah lady ray says hey guys i got a joke for y 'all why did the man fall into the well because he couldn't see that well

1:40:34Shannon Sharpe:lady ray been hanging out with you ocho nightcap big three uh versus john jones mike tyson Brock Lesnar in a bar fight. Who fight and what are the outcomes?

1:40:48Chad Johnson:If we get into a fight with who?

1:40:52Shannon Sharpe:Jon Jones, Mike Tyson, and Brock Lesnar.

1:40:56Chad Johnson:Who y 'all got, who y 'all gonna take? I'm gonna take Jon Jones.

1:40:59Shannon Sharpe:I'm going upside the head with this bottle. I'm gonna take Jon Jones.

1:41:07Chad Johnson:You taking Jon Jones? Yeah, I know his weakness. I know how to beat him.

1:41:12Shannon Sharpe:He gonna put you in submission, it gonna be over with. Yeah. Well, since you... Well, if they don't know it's a fight, if we know it's a fight, it's over for them. As long as nobody tells them we coming, we good.

1:41:31Golden State will be his next team.

1:41:34Shannon Sharpe:Bet whatever you have to lose. damn i don't see that bro you don't see that i mean they tried to make a move they tried to

1:41:44Chad Johnson:make a move this year joe they got the money to go get him i guess they'd have to move out jimmy butler damn oh that'll hurt i just think that whistle So we saw that they look like an Olympic joke. Yeah. But here, think about OKC in the Spurs. That's eight. That's eight times. You just you four and four. You want. I don't know.

1:42:23Shannon Sharpe:As everyday passes, Bron to Minnesota make more and more sense. They need a vet to complete in the new age West. Bron and Ant.

1:42:31Chad Johnson:Hold on, hold on. Like that, Joe? Not really. I like Kyrie. I want to see Kyrie over there with Ant-Man.

1:42:39Shannon Sharpe:Kyrie and Ant-Man?

1:42:41Chad Johnson:Yeah, yeah. He need another ball handler over there. Like, I ain't saying Brian ain't no ball handler. But I just think Kyrie, he'll be perfect over there with them long athletic dudes. Because Kyrie, he ain't a super liability on defense. He going to at least try. You know what I mean? but if you got Jay McDaniels and Ant-Man, you know them two, they can guard.

1:43:04Shannon Sharpe:Yes.

1:43:05Chad Johnson:He takes some pressure off Ant over there.

1:43:07Shannon Sharpe:Please tell me why Jacoby Jones rest his soul, didn't win the Super Bowl MVP of Super Bowl 2012 when the Ravens beat the 49ers. Your guess is as good as mine but normally the quarterback because Joe Flacco had played so well throughout the entirety of the playoffs. Yeah, he was balling. Jacoby had one hell of a game. called a touchdown, 109 yard return, kick return, some big passes, big time. Yeah, he played really well. And if Michael Jordan didn't exist, what player do you think would run the 90s era? Bird, Magic? No, they were done.

1:43:48Shannon Sharpe:Dominique, maybe? No, look. Elijah won two championships. Yeah. the Pistons won one, the Spurs won one. That was it. The rest of them went to what you call them. So with that being said, ooh, a big man running the league. But you got to look at it, Joe. Olajuwon, Karl Malone, they were the two best players. Yeah. In Barkley. They're two best players in the league. You got to realize, Magic went to the NBA Finals in 91, and he ended up having to retire. He won the MVP, league MVP in 90.

1:44:37Chad Johnson:Yeah.

1:44:37Shannon Sharpe:But then he had to retire. Bird back was gone. He was not the same player.

1:44:43Chad Johnson:So they're saying if Jordan wasn't playing.

1:44:45Shannon Sharpe:Yes.

1:44:46Chad Johnson:Yeah, Malone and Barkley, both probably would have got a ring here.

1:44:50Shannon Sharpe:Yes. And Elijah won. Yeah. that completes this episode of nightcap the okc thunder moved one win closer to advancing to back-to-back nba finals thanks to a 127 114 victory over the san antonio spurs game six back in san antonio on thursday we'll be there can they get it to a game seven or will the thunder repeat as western conference champs tune in we'll have all the actions after of the game.
