Nightcap Hour 2: Isiah Thomas BACK to BEING MESSY about Michael Jordan + Wembanyama CAMPAIGNS for NBA MVP + Knicks LOSE 7 GAME WINNING STREAK + CONCERNED Boyfriend SEARCHES for his GIRL + Sweden Makes SEX a SPORT?!

12:25Chad Johnson:Yeah, from listening to Pippen, yeah, he would make you think that.

12:33Shannon Sharpe:But, man, I don't know. I mean, Jordan was always giving him credit. Like, I could not have done what I did without him. You know, he's always giving him his credit.

12:42Chad Johnson:Man, hey, listen. Okay, Ocho, if y 'all notice, it ain't really too many guys that MJ played with on that Bulls team, they really give him props, bro. They really talk highly of him. Like, they all kind of take little jabs at him, you know, saying that he was a tough guy to play with. He was a tough teammate. And he probably was all of that. But the man, he had the fire and desire, bro, to come out and compete night in and night out and put forth his best foot. Like, he commanded that guys do the same. That's the thing. Like, I think a lot of these, well, not a lot. I think, you know, some of these dudes who are great, they try to get others to match what they're doing, Anke Ocho, and other guys just can't reach that potential.

13:26Shannon Sharpe:That's why it's hard for great players to be great coaches. It is, bro.

13:29Chad Johnson:Because what you're thinking in your head, you're trying to convey it to another guy, and hopefully he can see it the way you see it. And it just doesn't happen like that. They don't see it. Yeah, they don't see it that way.

13:38Shannon Sharpe:No. That's why most of your great coaches are average players. Look at Coach Belichick. Look at the really great coaches. Right. Steve was not a great – I mean, he was a role player. Did his job well. Look at Phil Jackson.

13:55Chad Johnson:Yeah.

13:58Shannon Sharpe:But when you try to get – I mean, I think if you see Bill Russell, he won – he was a players coach. Coach, Casey Jones, going to Tom Heinsen. Tom Heinsen was a damn great player. People don't realize how great Tom Heinsen was, Coach Milwaukee. Lenny Wilkins. But for the most part, I mean, especially to modern players. Because back then, guys listened. They make too much money nowadays.

14:35Chad Johnson:Hell, they ain't listening. They talking back and everything. Yeah. What?

14:43Shannon Sharpe:That's why I think. Hey, Joe. But I've said this, Ocho. But I've had a conversation with Deke. Like I said, I had him on the pod many, many years ago. And I've been places where he was and had a conversation. He ain't letting it go. I'm just saying. So if you expect him to let it go, he's not going to let it go. And Jordan ain't going to respond. Yeah. Well, he's just talking to himself at this point. He is. He is. Wemby gave a three-part MVP campaign speech this week saying, my first one would be defense.

17:50Shannon Sharpe:The MVP race. I believe I'm the most impactful player defensively in the league. You are. Second argument would be that we almost swept KC this season and we dominated them three times with their real team. The third argument would be that offense impact is just not points. Joe, do you agree with what Wimby has said and, and his reason for why he should be named the MVP?

18:15Chad Johnson:He has some points. He has some points, Uncle Ocho. I agree with him with the defense. There's, you know, 50 % of the game. And obviously nobody can match what he does defensively. I think the next step for him is to continue to evolve offensively. I don't know what he's averaging right now, Uncle Ocho, but it's probably what about 22, 23 game. I think he'll end up getting that up. and obviously if San Antonio can continue to be dominant, I don't know if they can take over the number one spot from OKC over the next couple years, but, you know, they're trending in the right direction. I think he will eventually become MVP.

19:01Shannon Sharpe:He's averaging 24-11-3, 24 points, 11 rebounds, 3 points.

19:05Chad Johnson:The only thing that's hard about the MVP because, damn, you just can't discredit what Yoki's numbers is, bro. You can't discredit what Did you see Jokic last night? Come on, did I see it? 23, 21, and 19

19:20Shannon Sharpe:19 19 19, he had 19 assists 21 rebounds, 23 points Hey, hey, Jokic He be out there You'd think you playing goddamn 2K, man With the numbers he putting up And San Antonio's two games back From the one seed

19:40Chad Johnson:Oh, they two games back? I think he got a great argument, Ocho, but he ain't going to win it this year. He ain't going to win MVP this year. I thought we all agreed that SGA was going to win, though. I think SGA is going to win.

19:56Shannon Sharpe:I think so, too, but I think the player that probably that has earned it the most based on value is Jalen Brown.

20:03Chad Johnson:Yeah.

20:05Shannon Sharpe:Who had Boston Celtics as the number two seed without Jason Tatum, trading Prazingas, getting rid of a trading holiday, Al Horford leaving. Who had them in this spot? Nobody.

20:18Chad Johnson:Nobody. You're right, huh? You're right. Jalen Brown has a definitely compelling argument.

20:27Shannon Sharpe:He's averaging, I think, 28, 6, and 5. He's playing out of his damn mind. Crazy.

20:36Chad Johnson:I just know they're going to give it to Shea, considering that they're the number one team in the NBA still. They have the best record.

20:45Shannon Sharpe:And what if they don't have the best record? What if San Antonio overtakes them?

20:50Chad Johnson:What we got? About eight, about nine games left?

20:55Shannon Sharpe:We got about 10 to 12.

20:57Chad Johnson:I just don't see them lose. I don't see them dropping two in a row or two games. I can't see San Antonio catching them. Because they don't play them no more. No. They beat him three out of four. So, I don't see y 'all. I don't see. I mean, he ain't the leading scorer in the NBA, but he's probably second. How many games they got left? 11. What they got?

21:28Shannon Sharpe:9. 9. Oh, 9? Yep.

21:35Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's going to be very, very interesting. Back to back. I mean, I hate that Cade got hurt and is going to miss that 65 game cutoff.

21:44Chad Johnson:Hold on. I thought he could miss like five or six games.

21:51Shannon Sharpe:He got to come back. But do you rush him back and potentially set him back?

21:57Chad Johnson:Yeah, put some padding on that rib cage or something. We trying to get, hey, hey, we trying to say, Hey, next country, we trying to sign for the 340, man. He just signed 290, he good. Yeah, he good. Now, see, you got to look at it from a standpoint. You got your appetizer, then you got your entree, then you won't come back for a little dessert. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. Oh, he'll be back. I mean, he can't be no more than 24. You trying to hit him across the head twice? Three times. Sometimes you can. Yeah, yeah. What?

22:38Chad Johnson:Yeah. Boy getting to that money, boy. Man, what you talking about? That man going to sign another contract for$300. He just signed for$290 or something. Yeah. Yeah.

22:53Shannon Sharpe:The Knicks just lost their seven-game winning streak, and Mitchell Robinson is not happy. Following the disappointing performance, Robinson took to Instagram to voice his frustration, saying, don't even matter unless we change our approach. We ain't doing ish special. Keep that jive up, myself included.

23:10Chad Johnson:Hey, look.

23:11Shannon Sharpe:Joe, what's he saying?

23:12Chad Johnson:Mitchell Robinson, he may be feeling the way he played 26 minutes, 4.6 rebounds. But, man, give Charlotte credit, Uncle Ocho. Them boys. No, Charlotte been balling, man.

23:24Shannon Sharpe:They didn't shoot the lights at the ball.

23:25Chad Johnson:Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. Charlotte is a scary team right now. They are playing great. I watched a lot of this game tonight. I love Knipple, the way he plays. He had 26 and 11 tonight. You got Brandon Miller, who had 21. You got LaMelo, who had 22. And Miles Bridges, 17. I like how they play. They got great chemistry. Uncle Ocho, I'm talking about they play together. They play the right way. and they got guys who are just flat out balling, bro. Like, they can beat anybody right now in the East. They can beat anybody.

24:05Shannon Sharpe:They shoot the three ball. They made 20. Didn't they make 26 threes the other night? They damn near make 15 to 20 a night.

24:12Chad Johnson:Man, you talking about they shoot the three ball. I'm talking about they shooting the left off that thing. You hear me?

24:17Shannon Sharpe:Yes.

24:17Chad Johnson:I'm talking about, man, hey, look, I was so impressed watching him tonight, just the threes that Knipple were taking. and he was 6 for 10 from the three, but he was taking some deep threes, Uncle Ocho. And LaMelo out there just playing quarterback, just finding guys.

24:32Shannon Sharpe:Man, that joke, I ain't never seen nobody shoot that many one-legs, step-back threes in my life.

24:37Chad Johnson:He got the most unorthodox game in the NBA. I'm talking about it's unorthodox. When I watch him play, I'm like, how is this stuff even going in? But they look good, bro. They look like they postseason ready. They ready to give somebody some trouble.

24:53Shannon Sharpe:I think they will. I think they're going to get – what are they – they look like they're going to probably be in the play-in.

24:58Chad Johnson:You think so?

24:59Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, yeah, they're going to probably be in the play-in. They might surprise somebody too now.

25:05Chad Johnson:I guess with Mitchell Robinson, okay, Ocho, I think it's the defensive end that he's talking about. You know, they're giving up a lot of points. And, you know, if you want to compete in this league, especially in the NBA, man, you got to be able to guard. But I'm going to tell you all something. Charlotte, they not playing, bro. They hard to guard. they got a lot of guys who can go off the bounce create plays score that ball i'm telling my man they're a fun team to watch now you know they used to be a doormat you know you go into charlotte okay oh yeah yeah yeah you check that off as a win and we can go hang out tonight we got we got charlotte tomorrow we're gonna be good we're gonna run these boys in the ground man please nah you

25:43Shannon Sharpe:better have your track shoes on hey and you look at the guys they got they got four they got four guys that can shoot the three ball and then they got kobe white they picked up from chicago coming

25:55Chad Johnson:up i'm talking about an ocho i'm talking about he ain't nothing to be playing with okay no man oh i saw him get a 40 a 40 ball to the lakers last year that hey that that was probably the biggest pickup that they had jacoby white kobe white like he i don't know if it's because he back in north carolina because you know he played it he played at uh unc but boy look he so comfortable in that Hornets uniform. I tell you that. Yep.

26:23Shannon Sharpe:Joe, who you got for rookie of the year? Cooper Flagg?

26:26Chad Johnson:I like Knipple, bro. I think Flagg, his points... I think Cooper Flagg got... I think his points are better because they force feed him. Okay, Ocho, but Knipple, if you watch him play, nothing's forced. Everything looks like it comes to him easy. He takes shots within the offense. like he just out there hooping bro i like knipples man i like i ain't gonna like see

26:51Shannon Sharpe:like i do too hell he look like he might have 300 threes this year how many threes he's made because he's already got the rookie record man i don't know how many he done made but i'm talking about he look good boy i'm talking about joe he gotta be like 260 270 easy man had 26 points and he so he had 256 250 252.

27:14Chad Johnson:i'm talking about it's quick too he get that thing off quick who you got who you got for rookie you going

27:23Shannon Sharpe:i think i think they won't i think they won't flag no they won't flag but why not do hey but

27:27Chad Johnson:listen to this okay oh why not do what you give i give him cold like you did grand heel they two Two ex-teammates from Duke. You know, just Duke Cole. Duke Duke, Duke Cole, rookie of the year. Because Knippa, he definitely worthy of it.

27:43Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yeah, for sure. And they got a better record than the fans.

27:49Chad Johnson:Yeah, they going to be in the play here. They could possibly make the playoffs.

27:51Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, they already in the play, yeah. I agree. They got nine games to go, Joe. And where they at now? And he has 253. They have nine games left, and he has 253 made threes.

28:28Shannon Sharpe:Joe, they two games back from the fifth seed. So they could make the playoffs. Forget play in, they could be in the playoffs.

28:38Chad Johnson:They playing good, bro. They playing great. I'm talking about they fun to watch now. Like usually I don't even tune in to watch the Hornets.

28:48Shannon Sharpe:Man, what's Mitchell Robinson doing?

37:46Hey, the game is the game.

37:50Shannon Sharpe:Man, let me start. I was just joking, y 'all. See, man, y 'all.

37:57Shannon Sharpe:Hey, check this out. Sweden had made headlines with an official declaration, sex as a sport with plans already underway for a tournament. The surprising move has sparked debates about the boundaries of what qualifies as a sport and how it challenges traditional views on both sexuality and athleticism. I like that. A sport? Yeah. I like that. I like that a lot because there are so many different ways it can happen. There are so many different ways it can be done. You hear me? it can be a sport because it's a skill set when it comes to a sport there are different sets in that skill sport and you know different the different skill sets in the sport that specifies who makes what why why does uh uh jason tatum you know get a 300 million dollar deal why does the sixth man come off the bench not get as much okay skill set what they can't do Nope, the same thing happens in the sport that they talk about.

39:03Now I can - That's gonna be very interesting though, Ocho. Yeah, I love it too. This is right up my alley, huh? This is right up my alley. What you mean right up your alley?

43:49Chad Johnson:Oh, my God. What? Because you didn't see it. You didn't see it as much. Nowadays, man, you go to a swimming pool or a beach, boy, they're going to have them T-strings on.

44:02Shannon Sharpe:Hey, Joe, you ain't got this too cool. Everything that you saw in Victoria's Secrets or Fredericks of Hollywood, you go to a club, you can see that. No question. Hey, Joe, you know, the funny thing about it, depending on where you live, like in Miami, you ain't got to be in the club. No something. You ain't got to be - Walking down the street, huh?

44:22Chad Johnson:Oh yeah, in Miami? Yeah, you can go to CVS or Walgreens. And that's exactly what you're gonna get.

44:36Chad Johnson:Man.

44:40Hey, Uncle Joe, I went to the game today. What game?

44:44Shannon Sharpe:Oh, the soccer game. Yeah, Brazil and France, it was a little friendly. I mean, Brazil lost 2-1 to France. I got France probably winning the World Cup, but I went to Cambodia, took me to a place I'd never been to before. Hey, something called Magianos. Huh? It was a little Italian spot. You been there before Joe? You talking about Maggiano's? The chain? That's what I just said, huh? Yeah, it's a chain. Yeah. It's not like Rayo's. OK, I know that. This is my first time. It was my first time. Oh, OK. It was good. It was good. It was awesome. You know what? I don't want to. I bet it was unbelievable.

45:24Shannon Sharpe:What'd you have? The chicken parm? What'd I have to eat? Oh, I had chicken, chicken fettuccine, and I added shrimp to it. I added shrimp. Hey, you ever had the bread there that they give you when they bring it to the table?

45:38Chad Johnson:The bread? Some garlic bread. I don't know what kind of bread that was, but I asked the man for the recipe. He wouldn't give it to me. Hey, hey, hey.

45:47Shannon Sharpe:I went to this one place. I'm talking about this was a bear. I mean, this Italian place. I don't know if you ever heard of it. It's called like Olive Garden. Oh, man, that thing's fine. Who? Olive Garden. What's that? Okay, that's another chain restaurant. You ain't never been in Olive Garden, no, Joe. Joe, you're trying to be funny, that's a real restaurant, for real? Yeah, it is, yeah, it's a real restaurant. Hey, Joe, you know what? No, but if you talk about like, like, Rails, where you probably gotta know somebody, I mean, you can't get in there unless you know somebody, and the wait list is probably, without knowing somebody, you might have to wait six months to a year.

46:25Shannon Sharpe:That's just a big deal. What? For a restaurant? Yeah. What's so special about it, Un? Because I know you done been in there. I ain't never been there. No, I mean, it's a very small, and somebody owned all the tables there. So you have to know somebody that owned, yeah, somebody owned the tables. I mean, you probably, what, about 20, 30 people could have been there at a time? That's it? That's it. Oh, that's why, okay, okay. Hey, where's that? It's in New York. They probably taxing too. Yeah. Yeah, it's - Now, hey, this sound like something the mob probably own, huh? Well, let's move right along.

47:08Shannon Sharpe:It's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q and A.

47:19Hey, hey, I'ma try that Olive Garden. I'ma try that one day. They got that in Miami too, huh?

47:25Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Yeah, they do. I'm sure they do. I'm going to try that. Before we get to our super chats, we got video voicemail from our Discord. This one comes from Ahu Trev. Let's take a listen to what he had to say. What's up? What's up, Ocho? Joe? I know y 'all see them Hawks, boy. Boy, they're almost the fifth seed now. They're playing the best. They beat the Pistons. What y 'all think about them Hawks? They going to make a run or not? Joe, I know you lit. Probably not. What do you mean, probably not? I mean, he's talking about beating the Pistons, but Cade ain't even playing.

48:03Chad Johnson:Man, please, man, listen. Hey, look, we can't help who they got out there playing now. You hear me? I understand, but you also got to be realistic. Well, we are being realistic because they are sending at the right time, Ocho. You see. I mean, you said the same thing. You said the same thing about the goddamn offensive line. We didn't let it go. Now, we already talked about that. Now, we're talking about the NBA, seven-game series. Listen, we ain't going to be in no play-in. And I know that we're going to get us a good seed. And I promise you, it ain't many teams out there who want to see them Hawks, man.

48:33Chad Johnson:They playing great. I'm talking about great basketball. I'm talking about we got a multitude of cats putting up great numbers, whether it's the Alexander kid who has been tremendous this whole season. We know what J.J.'s been doing, Jalen Johnson, and C.J. McCullum,

48:49Shannon Sharpe:who I think when the postseason hits, he's the one who's going to make the huge difference

48:55Chad Johnson:because he keeps everything kind of mellow, chill. Even when things are a little erratic, he knows how to stay poised and patient and get to his spots to where he can get a bucket or make the right play. I love the team that we have. Man, them dudes have been playing. They've been playing great basketball for probably the past month or so. Yeah, they got a good chance to do something special. They got a chance.

49:19Shannon Sharpe:You know what, guys? I was thinking, Ocho, you got me thinking about Italian. Man, I can't remember the last time I had Italian food.

49:28Shannon Sharpe:I can't remember. No pasta, none? Nah, I don't. I mean, just give me some steak, and I'm good. I mean, when I worked at CBS, I was like, all the steakhouses I heard of. So I went to Peter Luger's a couple times. I went to Sparks. I went to King's. I went to Ben Benson's. So I would just try all the steakhouses.

I was a redshirt freshman. Matthew Hatchett was on the team with me at Langston. Oh, okay. Yeah, my dumb ass got thrown out for fighting. Oh man, what happened? I never forget, the president at that time was Dr. Ernest Holloway. What happened, Ocho?

56:48Chad Johnson:What y 'all fighting for? Somebody stole, not my per diem, what you call the little money, you get your little money from - Your grant, your pale grant? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It wasn't that much, Joe, but I felt I was rich. I felt I was rich, and it was in my room. Only one person has access to the room, Ocho. Where is my money that I know I put in the drawer? with my money. I'll never forget, man. I'm not sure who my big homie is. He was from Oakland. Big Steve. I don't know if you see this, Big Steve. If you're still with us, God willing, reach out to your boy, man. It's been a very long time.

I had a ring on my hand by accident. How do you have a ring on your hand by accident? I mean, you're not supposed to be fighting like that. Yeah, yeah. He got a little cut. Little cut, man. Mr. Holloway say, listen, we don't condone this kind of behavior here at Links University. I mean, he sent me right back to Miami. And that's how I ended up at Center.

57:54Shannon Sharpe:So in other words, you lumped him up? I ain't say all that. I'm trying to be very respectful of the situation that happened. You done told the story? You done put the man's name out there? Yeah, I'm putting the name out there because I would love to connect again after so many damn years. Nah, he don't want to talk to you. He said he don't want to talk to you. Hey, Big Steve.

I say, nah, like you say, too much time has passed.

58:24Shannon Sharpe:30 years. Like you say, Isaiah, you ready to go? He say, let it go. Yeah, I would just tell you, you know my circumstances are why I bounce from - Oh, but hey, hey, hey, but if he stole from you, Ocho,

I got to be able to eat. I know it. Oh, man. I know it. You can tell when somebody get that peregrine, they out eating every night. Soon as that money get low, you sitting right back in the cafeteria. You must be down, ain't you? Hey, I'll never forget, boy. Hey, you know who went to school with me too, Unk? Who there? Roy Williams' sister. Is this real sister? Cowboy or the receiver? Cowboys, Rob Williams.

1:00:13Chad Johnson:He can't talk about that. I can't control the outcome of this. When we doing something, I control it. What about, why you had to get the belt? The belt put up right now. Okay, Ocho, let's put up right now.

1:00:27Shannon Sharpe:Good, keep it up. And the crowd, he got the belt laid down there. He got the crown cocked to the side, don't you?

He put that parlay down, he gonna get his money back. I tell you what, if he put that parlay down and he bet with you to beat me, well, he going to be mad two times. He going to be mad twice. Because one thing, Joe, when it comes to these hands, you hear me?

1:01:42They registered out there in Vegas for a reason.

1:01:47Chad Johnson:They considered a lethal weapon for a reason, Joe. I told you, man. I don't give a damn what they registered at. Listen, a knockout going to be worth double. I'm going to hook my man up. Hey, stay live through here, bro. Knockout pay double. You see what I'm talking about? Knockout double. Knockout double. Yeah, that's how we bet the fight. When you bet the fight, knockout play double. I like that. The funny thing, the knockout mostly happens like when somebody get tired, you know, and you don't have discipline with your defense. But Joe, all that stuff, Joe, I done perfected that craft, Joe. I'm so disciplined.

1:02:18You know, when it comes to combat sports, I don't even think you get a punch in, honestly.

1:02:22Chad Johnson:Man, what you got? Come on. That's where I'm at with. Let's keep going, bro. What you got, Uncle? Let's keep going.

1:02:42Chad Johnson:You ain't got Vince Carter in there?

1:02:44Shannon Sharpe:No Vince. Amari Stoudemire? Vince. Sean Kemp definitely was an in-game dunker. Ant-Man. Ant-Man. Yeah.

1:03:05Shannon Sharpe:I think you damn all, as far as the end game dunker. And what about Deandre? That don't count because he's so damn tall. I mean, he caught a couple of bodies, but he ain't like, I think Dr. J got him. I think Vince Carter, Sean Kemp man, Sean Kemp was.

1:03:23Chad Johnson:Yeah, he was different. He was different.

1:03:27Shannon Sharpe:and in game because Dominique was double pumping back with his heels with catching bodies hey man them dudes you know who a guy that don't get credit for and he's a better in game dunker than he would be in a dunk contest LeBron but he just do the same dunk nah he he done caught bodies with that same dunk oh okay I see what you mean I'm thinking about when we talk about in-game dunkers, I'm thinking about creativity. Well, ain't no creativity on dunker. You just bam it on people. Okay, I understand what you mean. I understand. I mean, think about it. He got, how many people he got yesterday?

1:04:08Chad Johnson:Man, a couple.

1:04:10Shannon Sharpe:He called on boy after Euro step with the left hand.

1:04:12Chad Johnson:That's impressive at 41. That's impressive, fella.

1:04:16Shannon Sharpe:And then hit him with a layup, got fired. Talk about both of you, Chunks.

1:04:26Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

1:04:30Shannon Sharpe:Sheldon Pope said, ISO is hosting, are you hosting any events in Atlanta, 404 day? And are you inviting Ocho?

1:04:38Chad Johnson:Hold on, when is 404 day?

1:04:41Shannon Sharpe:We're 404 day.

1:04:42Chad Johnson:And to answer your second part of your question, hell no, I ain't inviting Ocho. Hey, hey listen, hey Joe, you know what's gonna happen Joe? I'm gonna just show up and I'm gonna FaceTime you, I'm in town. Hey, you seen the airport in Atlanta? Why ain't nobody trying to be sitting no line no five, six hours, man? Hey, TSA, hey, what's up? TSA, man, people ain't coming to work. Them folks ain't getting paid, Ocho. What you want them to do? I know. I know. I'm just saying. But you have to understand, you know, y 'all were screaming at me for not coming to Maddie City night, and the goddamn line at TSA was six.

1:05:15That was a five-hour wait.

1:05:16Chad Johnson:You would have been pissed off. You probably had to stay here a couple days.

1:05:19Shannon Sharpe:That ain't got nothing to do with you. That one got nothing to do with you. There ain't no line to get off the plane. Tell him again, huh? Huh? There ain't no line to get off the plane. We ain't finna let you do that. HP 2-0-1-2, Ocho. Gotta put that$5 ,900 in the Ocho.

1:05:33Chad Johnson:Oh, man. It ain't goin' for four years. Hey, hey, hey, I'ma put it in there, cause you know, the Lord don't like noise, man. Huh? I like my buddy, too. I got you, huh? I told you, I'm here for emergency situations.

1:05:52Shannon Sharpe:Jordan the Goat, 96. Jordan did nothing wrong. IT, one salty old man, keep crying. Bear down on your head, top ISO. Look, like I said, I mean, you hear stories that say it did happen. They say it didn't happen. Whatever it is, whatever is done, ain't no undoing it. It ain't no undoing it. It's like when somebody get popped for steroids or something and somebody else get the medal. Well, I don't miss my opportunity to hear my national anthem playing at the top of the podium. You bringing me a medal 10, 15, 20 years later, what the hell that is? What good is that? Nothing, none. I don't get no heroes welcome when I come home.

1:06:36Shannon Sharpe:I didn't get to stand on top of the podium and hear my national anthem. You robbed me of that. That's what it's about. Yeah, I understand. I won the gold medal, but hey, the whole thing is the world to hear me stand up on that top step and to hear my national anthem being played. So I don't really know, even if they were to give him a gold medal, which they're not, we're just speaking hypothetically here, they ain't nothing going to undo what's been done that many years ago.

1:07:07Shannon Sharpe:We will take our reparations, though. That will help us. 828 style. What's up, all? Charlotte winning now because they got my Duke boys down there teaching them how to win as a brotherhood. They changing the culture.

1:07:23Chad Johnson:They are. Yeah. They are. They look good. They playing their ass off. They look good. They look like they got a bright future. If they can keep them core guys together who's playing well, obviously make the playoffs, hey, man, Charlotte going to be in a good place.

1:07:43Shannon Sharpe:JTV, Unc Ocho, love the show. Use the name J. Question for ISO. Tracy McGrady said you called him late in his career. What do you think you would have done with T-Mac if you could have got played with him before the injury?

1:07:55Chad Johnson:Man, I'm a sponge, bro. Like, any of them dudes, because I grew up idolizing, you know, the Jordans, the Penny Hardaway, Penny who I played with for four years, T-Mac who I played with for a year. I just used to ask a lot of questions. I never challenged them dudes in one-on-ones, Penny, T-Mac. I never challenged none of them. I just always asking information on how I could better my game, Uncle Ocho. You know what I mean? Like, show me something. When they throwing that double and triple team on me, man, how can I still get open and get me a, you know what I mean, and get to it? So it's just the little stuff like that, bro, that having them type of vets around who done led the league in scoring, who done been super icons of the game that, man, just be a sponge, ask a lot of questions, just try to get some game from them.

1:08:45Chad Johnson:That's what I was trying to do.

1:08:51Shannon Sharpe:Alan Fletcher said 23. We went the whole show. Iso wasn't supposed to say basket or ball.

1:09:00Chad Johnson:All right, now. Look, look, look. Go ahead. Y 'all have y 'all fun tonight. Go ahead, y 'all fun.

1:09:06Shannon Sharpe:Man, I told Ocho that, what, a couple of years ago, his team was losing. I said, Ocho, since your team lost, you can't say foot or ball. Man, don't let the Broncos lose. Yeah, or the Ravens. He come over here talking. Ah, yeah, man. That joke of there. Roddy M say, what's up, Nightcap? Pretend you're GM building a starting lineup around your prime using players in history, but you can't say players that you played with already. So, Joe, if you're going to pick a U-Builder a starting lineup, who you play with?

1:09:41Chad Johnson:He said, I can't pick players that I play with? Yep. All right, I'm going Jordan,

1:09:53Chad Johnson:Colb, I'm probably gonna put them at the one and the two. We gonna have a big lineup. I'm gonna go, I'm gonna probably go with, ooh, I'm probably gonna go with KD. Nah, I'll probably go, yeah, I'll probably go KD at three. I'll go at my four I'll probably go with I'll probably go Tim Duncan Tim Duncan and you know I got to have the big Aristotle yeah give me Shaq bro that's a good squad yeah who you going

1:11:14Shannon Sharpe:I'm trying to win one game. Magic, Jordan, Braun, Duncan, Shaq. Woo!

1:11:25Chad Johnson:I don't know too many people who ain't gonna have Shaq in there. The dude was just filthy, bro. If you got to say like in today's game,

1:11:38Shannon Sharpe:I would take Steph, Jordan, Braun,

1:11:47Shannon Sharpe:Jokic, and KD. Mm.

1:11:55Mm.

1:11:56Chad Johnson:That's a good, that's a nice foul.
