Jalen Brown did not hold back in the 76th introductory press conference speaking openly about his lack of communication with Jason Tatum. Let's take a listen to what he had to say. Jalen, how would you describe, characterize your relationship with Jason over the last year, Jason Tatum? And is that a partnership you both wanted to continue before the trade? You know, we won a championship together. So anybody that you won a championship, you would think, like, that's what, you know, a brotherhood or a lifelong legacy would entail.

19:10Obviously, there's ups and downs in any type of relationship, for sure.

19:14Shannon Sharpe:But on my end, it's nothing but respect. You know, besides when he plays the Sixers, you know, I hope he does well. You know, but other than that, you know, everything for me is just based in respect. Have you guys been able to talk? Not really.

19:34Joe? Yeah, Joe, that's for you to answer. I don't understand. That's too cryptic for me.

19:41Chad Johnson:Listen. I think they both on two different pages, man. Living two different lives. You know, JB ain't got no kids. Okay, Ocho. Nope. Yeah, JT got two kids, you know, beautiful wife. Wife, girlfriend, something, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They live in two totally different lives, bro. You know, and it's okay that they don't hang out outside. Absolutely. They haven't really talked. Hey, man, this is a part of the journey, bro. It is. It hurts sometimes, you know, playing on teams and then you get traded. Obviously, you leave behind guys who you've been playing with for eight, seven, nine years. You know what I mean?

20:22Chad Johnson:But at the same time, this is our profession, bro. This is what we signed up for. This is part of it. You know what I mean? I think we are trying to make a big deal about Jason Tatum and JB. But for me, man, I don't even really feel like there's no huge – I don't feel like there's no big deal. They were two great players who won a title together.

20:40Shannon Sharpe:And a lot of times great players don't be hanging out. And it's okay. I'm okay with that, especially in basketball. Now, basketball, because you guys are together a little bit more than we are, Joe. I mean, y 'all on the road all the time. and y 'all close-knit and so forth and so on. Man, look, we can be cordial, but I don't mean we got – I mean, ain't like I'm over the history. I don't know if Michael and Scotty is coming to find out they were not as together or as close or as mesh as people might have thought. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. Hey, Uncle Joe, people got to remember now. You got to remember.

21:22A lot of people in the chat, you know, y 'all have jobs. You go to work. And you know what? You ain't friends with everybody at your own job. You know, you go in there with a job to do. It's the same thing with sports. You're not going to get along with everybody. If you happen to meet someone, you know, and y 'all get along outside of your job and decide to hang out, that's cool. But I'm there to do one thing. Bring an NBA championship to Boston. Now, if Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown happen to be friends and become friends outside of the game of basketball and their duties that they're supposed to do for the Celtics, then so be it.

21:57But everybody ain't finna be buddy-buddy.

21:59Shannon Sharpe:I just think they're two different people. That's just the nature of the business in general. I really do, Joe, don't you? I just think they're two different people. I don't really think that. Honestly, other than basketball, tell me what you think they two have in common.

22:18Chad Johnson:They probably don't. They probably don't have much in common.

22:21Shannon Sharpe:I mean, you go to work and say, hey, Bob, how you doing? I hate you, motherfucker.

22:28Shannon Sharpe:You do. But then the question is, okay, the communication. What would the communication entail? What did the other expect from the other? What does that even talk about in general? Hey, I'm trying to win. Hey, I'm trying to be the best I can be. You try to be the best you can be. Hopefully we can come together. And for one shining moment, they won a championship together. Yeah. No matter what JB did, there were very few people that thought he was a better player than JT. Even after he won Eastern Conference MVP, even after he won Finals MVP, Even after he took this team, what he averaged, 28 points a game.

23:16Shannon Sharpe:Even though he got this team to the number two seed, they let Al Horford go. They let Holiday go. Jason Taylor was gone except for the last 20 games. In his mind, me, I'm just psychoanalyzing. I'm from the back. Right. It was just hard. Like, man, I don't know what I can do for people to see me. First of all, you take two, you take, first of all, it's three guys. I know for a fact, even if you say I'm not better than JT, I'm better than the other two guys that you put on the Olympic team. Right. I just think they thought that the question, and I asked you this, Joe, about a month ago, I said had the roles been reversed, JT goes there, and he's not getting DMPs.

24:08Shannon Sharpe:does he handle it in the same manner and with JT handling it no sir you don't think so JB hold on hold on hold on Uncle Joe now the problem was not even going not even being selected not even being thought of or having two people that you felt you were better than going there before you but you think not only if you do get selected you gonna have a problem with the DNP as well why you brought your father over here if you weren't gonna play me hello look who's in front of him i'm gonna do it look who's in front of him how you gonna complain let me ask you question were you okay they said well look who in front of you ocho you're like hold on i'm ocho yeah yeah and that's why i was starting i'm saying but so when when he that's how he looks at it though.

24:59Shannon Sharpe:He's like, who the final MVP?

25:05Okay, I see. I see you. Who did that? Who is the conference MVP? Who did that? Hey, can I ask you something, though? Even with accolades, even as well as he played, right? Let's say he was selected to go play and represent the USA. Please tell me the player that he's supposed to sit on the bench for him. I'm just curious. Who's sitting down to let him play?

25:28Shannon Sharpe:see the way you see you think it logical but when you're a supreme athlete you don't think logical well even as a supreme athlete i have to understand who's better than me and if you don't think none of them better than him oh come on yeah because think about it even

25:44Chad Johnson:even though you do have durant and lebron playing that same position and man you can't find three four minutes for your boy i can't how many jokes three four minutes i don't want to touch the flow Let me run a couple wind sprints. Come on, man. You done brought me way over here. You mean tell me you can. Come on, man. Come on, Joe.

26:03Shannon Sharpe:Now you got me sitting on the bench like I'm the level 12th man in an NBA game. Hey, Joe. I see how they be sitting. They be sitting down there like this here like, damn. I hope I get in tonight. And the man say, hold on. Wait a damn minute. I like JV, man. I like JV. I do, too. Hey, he's very controversial. without being controversial. It's just the way he conducts himself, the way he talks, his wording, his sentence structure. He is the smartest one in the room. He is at times, if you listen to him talk. Yeah, it's going to be interesting. The question is,

26:49Shannon Sharpe:do you believe JT could have done more to talk to Boston to keep JB?

26:59Chad Johnson:I don't think so. I think they were going to part ways from him. Okay, Ocho, because one, they didn't want to have to pay him all that damn money. They knew they were going to have to pay him, pay him. Because he was going to leave before the kitchen. I mean, at the end of the day, that's what it basically came down to. You know what I mean? But all this rumbling behind it has kind of got stirred up. But at the end of the day, man, they got too much money tied up in the two guys.

27:24Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. but that's what happened when you do a great job of drafting Ocho and Joe yeah

27:30Chad Johnson:I mean hell and you got a championship you know what else too Jason Tatum might not might not have wanted to stand on the table for him anyway as well as he played when he was out maybe maybe I'm just saying and I don't think there's anything that JB could have done that could change the way people feel about him yeah nothing he he thought after the way he played this year that would ingratiate him more

28:02Shannon Sharpe:to the organization because i think the fans i think the fans appreciate him and know what he breaks but he thought the way he played this year would ingratiate him more with the with the organization and it did this the opposite yeah yeah it probably it probably was worse probably You got worse because he played so well. So who do you think? I think. Go ahead, Joe.

28:25Chad Johnson:I think because, you know, he came out and made those statements and said that this was his best season. He had the most fun this season. So everybody kind of took that as like a little slap. Yeah. And I think they've been giving him, you know, some backlash behind that. But, hey, man, the young man ain't going to come ready to play.

28:45Shannon Sharpe:Because the thing is, when you get in that position, they parse everything that you say. yes sir been there we know that ocho we in the little the little business that we in everything that we say they pick apart yeah hey you know you know what would jb remind me of a little bit i think some people some people in the chat probably won't get it you know based on their age remember good times huh yeah remember how when mike would be militant at times yeah yeah that's what jb remind me of a little bit you're right joe who'd be militant go ahead jojo finish up No, no, that's it, that's it. I was just thinking about that.

29:22Shannon Sharpe:Which superstar do you believe is under the most pressure? First you Joe and then Ocho. Jason Tatum or Luka?

29:30Chad Johnson:I got Luka, man. Luka.

29:37Chad Johnson:No Lebron. Man, he didn't carry, he carried a lot of weight over the, you know, over the past, what, eight, nine years that he was in LA.

29:48Chad Johnson:and we're gonna have to see if luca man can stay healthy for whole 82 and have like an mvp type season obviously yeah i mean because he is tremendous throughout the regular season when he plays he led the league and scoring so he he got he i think the most pressures on him and they in la bro come on man what we talking about they allowed here in la la land come on man Ain't ain't nothing going on down there. What you mean? Man, listen man Luke over there. They got a team constructed a k-pop back to boys and insane It's about talk about man. Come on

30:21Shannon Sharpe:That's what look they built that team Ramona Shelbourne laid it out She said I mean what what she reported is that they put saying together at Craig's they went to Craig and they laid it out They said we're gonna have LeBron James money to come off the book and we'll be able to build this roster to your liking, to your specifications. You know, if you get a custom car, they'll build it to your specs. How fast do you want it to go? What type of engine? You want a V8? You want a V12? You want a twin turbo? You want electric? Whatever you want to be. Whatever the interior. Restomod. Cut the doors.

31:03Shannon Sharpe:What is it that you want? So they built this team. this Lakers team is to Luka Doncic's specifications.

31:17Shannon Sharpe:The Celtics not built to Jason Tatum. They just got up off of JB. He wanted a big. They could do big in the pick and roll. They get Walker Kessler. He said, I want AR back. AR's back on a four-year, 140-something million on a contract. I want shooters.

31:42Shannon Sharpe:What is it about Rui? I mean, they signed somebody that wasn't as good as Rui in the regular season or the postseason. And gave more than what Rui got going to the Clippers.

31:54Shannon Sharpe:So I hope it works out for him. I'm a Luka. I'm not as big a Luka fan as I am a LeBron fan, obviously. But, hey.

32:03Chad Johnson:So what, you a Philly fan now, huh?

32:11Yeah.

32:12Shannon Sharpe:Ain't no secret. Ain't no secret. Did they chat, no? A noticeably slimmer Joel Embiid is going viral. One executive bluntly stated they don't trust him at all when discussing Embiid's health and availability. Embiid has played just over 50 % of the regular season games since entering the NBA in 2014. He's played 490 out of 965 possible games. Joe, with Bron, Max, and J.B. around, if Embiid can stay healthy, stay in this kind of shape, can they win the title?

32:45Chad Johnson:Yeah, they can win. I told you on Ocho, man, I said, listen, if I'm Bron, this is before he committed. I said, man, I'm on the phone with Embiid. Come to find out what happened, Ocho, Bron, when he met with Embiid. Yeah, because he's the catalyst to whatever it is that Philly's trying to do. Yep, Maxi's going to be great. Edgecombe's going to be great. JB's going to be great. LeBron's going to be great. But if this man right here, he look good. He look like he's in great shape. I hope he can get up and down the court with this. But if he can keep this up, Ojo, he in great shape, and he's back to where he's virtually unguardable?

33:24Shannon Sharpe:They're looking at his left knee, Ojo. What you think?

33:30Chad Johnson:hey i'm gonna send you uh i'm gonna send you about 50k man i need you to go go put it down on uh on philly i think i'm gonna put them on philly to win it

33:42Chad Johnson:already plus 900 what that'll pay me out look it up right quick because i don't know how everybody think these do philly gonna be slow Boy, they boy finna cut up. All right. They finna cut up, Ojo. Listen, it look good on paper. Everything look good on paper until it's time to play. All right. Now, we haven't seen them play. We've seen teams constructed that we thought were going to be all world. Hell, when I thought Kyrie and goddamn James Harden and Kevin Durant and Brooklyn, I thought Brooklyn was going to win them a goddamn title. You know? Based on the names. Now, we got to see how them boys play.

34:22I'm sure at some point you know you have training camp 450 ,000 Joe oh yeah

34:30Shannon Sharpe:50k will play plus 500 so you get your 50 back and you win 450 so you be plus 400 I'm gonna send you 50 Joe you gonna send me 50? yeah yeah play that for me boy

34:46Chad Johnson:what you sending it to me for you need to send I'm sending mine to I'm so he can go play it Y 'all want to get up pop, not up.

34:57Chad Johnson:Hey, I'm going to break you off, though. We win. I'm going to break you off. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to give you something, too. Yeah. So we give him 100. We give him 100. How I get to be the bookie. I'm going to give you 150. I'm going to give you 150. I win. You're in Vegas. Yeah, hook me up.

35:19Shannon Sharpe:Lord, have mercy. Yeah. Well, hell, Joe, I'm gonna save my money. Just lad me something when you win.

35:26Chad Johnson:All right, bet. I got Joe, Joe. I got you. I don't need nothing, but I need, but just send me five dollars.

35:31Shannon Sharpe:So you have no concerns about his left knee? Because I think that's the knee that he wears the knee brakes on also.

35:36Chad Johnson:Well, Unc, Unc, I gotta see him move, and I gotta see him getting up and down. I gotta see his gallop. I gotta see how he run. Hell, I gotta see how he transition from offense to defense. You know what I mean? Like, a pitcher telling me one thing, but I got to see some movement, man. I got to see what them feet look like. You know what I mean? Yeah. So I guess, you know, when training camp come around, I'm sure the cameras will be on Philly. But he look good, though. He looks slim.

36:03Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, he definitely looks good. He definitely looks better.

36:06Chad Johnson:Yeah, got some nice definition to him, man.

36:09Shannon Sharpe:But I never concern myself with a guy working out the offseason because it's easy. It's to make those decisions. Can you make those same decisions when you don't have a chef that's traveling with you? And you get into that city at 2 o 'clock in the morning, Joe.

36:22Chad Johnson:Yep, and you got to eat them Zuzuz and win-win.

36:24Shannon Sharpe:You eating pizza. You eating fried chicken.

36:26Chad Johnson:Pizza and french fries. Yeah. Bags of chips on the plane. And then finna go right to sleep. You know how it go.

36:34Shannon Sharpe:And them chips say, yeah, I think I'll stay right here, right here, right now. I ain't going nowhere.

36:40Chad Johnson:You done ate four bags of chips. That's 900 calories. Come on, man. Come on, man. Oh, man.

36:49Shannon Sharpe:The Wizards and Anthony Davis' agent, Rich Paul, have decided to wait and talk for the potential extension until after the season starts. AD becomes eligible today to sign an extension worth up to four years, $275 million. One source, Coach Sean, this gives both sides the first 20 games to marinate on whether to pay AD or not. Joe, do you believe 20 games is enough to see if AD is worth 275 over four years?

37:17Chad Johnson:Hey, listen, it gives me a nice little sample size and it keeps some fire under AD. You know, you got to show me something, Uncle Ocho. And in them 20 games, I don't need you taking no games off. I need you because you say you're going to play 82. Now, it's been reported that he's not really saying he's going to play 82 games. I'm just telling you what he said. That man said he played all 82. I want to see AD get back to dominating. Yeah, they'll break him off. He better be cutting cheese, boy, in the first 20 games. I know that. Boy, hey, hey, hey, Ocho, that'll be all on my mind. The first 20 games, I got to come in and show out.

37:52Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. What you thinking, Ocho? I mean, listen, based on his injury history, based on what we've seen almost every single season, he's always been hurt. For sure. I ain't never knocking on nobody when it come to making money. You know, four years, 275, he's earned that. he one of the best four best fives one of the best stretches you know to ever play the game and i'm just saying i'm just thinking about he's always hurt most of the time but you know get your

38:25Chad Johnson:money get your money young boy i can't knock that and and okay ocho they just gave trey young like 212. yeah something similar to that you know what i mean like the wizards that's gonna be a lot of money for a team who wasn't in the damn playoffs last year. You know what I mean? So, jump out the gate. You know, show some promise. You know, help this young AJ to bounce out. Hopefully that all blends and meshes well together. Yeah, man. Hey. I know Rich Paul on his back. Hey, boy. They gonna guap you down now. You know, you gotta get in some

39:02Shannon Sharpe:good shape. Alright, alright. Hurry, hurry, hurry. In the final week of the regular season, the top two seeds go at as Coach Nancy Lieberman Klein. Nancy Lieberman, I guess she's not married anymore. Dallas Power take on Coach Dr. J. Julius Irving's Chicago triplets. Big man Greg Monroe, Glenn Rice Jr., Elijah Stewart, Montrezl Harrell, Brandon Moss, Amir Johnson. Big names, real hoopers, and no easy buckets. This is hoops. This is all we need. Big three, season nine. Joe, who you got?

39:35Chad Johnson:Hey, man, I told y 'all. You know, you look at that Miami 305 team today. They played today against the Houston Regans. And Lance Stevenson had 25. Beasley had 20. They're going to be hard to beat when them dudes playing like that. They're 200 monster, and they know it's at stake because they can't waste no more games. Like the playoffs about to get ready to start. They look great. They've been playing well. But the L.A. ride, they out of it. The White Howard team, I thought they were going to be a team that was going to be there at the end. But they not. So it's looking decent, man. You know, the ball hall's got a great chance to do something special.

40:15Chad Johnson:There was a few teams out here, the triplets, the Chicago triplets. They've been kind of.

40:19Shannon Sharpe:That's Trey's team, right?

40:21Chad Johnson:Yeah, that's Montreux's team. He averaging 36-7 a game.

40:24Shannon Sharpe:He averaging almost 37 points a game. He going to win the MVP. Yeah, man.

40:29Chad Johnson:Yeah. Only thing is he ain't played but like three games. Oh, that's it. You know what I'm saying? as opposed to, I see he missed like the first couple games. The rest of these dudes have played like five, six games. He didn't play, I think he played half of that. That's the only thing, but he putting up numbers.

40:44Shannon Sharpe:Joe, that man had 42 of the 50 points one game.

40:48Chad Johnson:Oh, hey, listen, I agree with you. He doing his damn thing. You know what I mean? Like he probably would get it. He probably would get it because they've been dominating.

40:57Shannon Sharpe:They've been dominating. Yeah, he's been putting on the show. Basically, it's the battle of the bigs because, you know, Stewart and Monroe, I mean, you got Trez and Amir Johnson, and then you got Glenn Rice Jr. Well, see, it's coming. This is what it was supposed to be. This is what it was supposed to be. I think, you know, you wanted to come down to, like, everybody not know, somebody running away with it because you really don't know who's going to win. You really don't, Joe.

41:26Chad Johnson:Unless I was playing for Detroit, y 'all wouldn't know. Oh, Joe, you see what I mean? Y 'all wouldn't know. Y 'all would know. Y 'all would be running away with that thing, Ocho, huh? Oh, you and Parker are going to have that thing on lock, huh? Man. Hey, how many points you're going to drop, Joe? If I was playing, I'd probably average about 30, 31. You think so? Yeah, we ain't going to fit the hell. If the rest of them dudes can't come up with a couple points between them for us to get 50 hell, we don't deserve to win. Okay? Yeah. I got you. I got 30. Ocho, I got 30 in my back pocket, okay? Okay, okay.

42:00Chad Johnson:Yeah, I got 30 in my back pocket. Hey, Unk. Hey, Unk. I talked to Joe earlier today. You know, I'm playing in the game again this year. What game? The big three. You heard me? I'm going to coach him up. Yeah, Joe going to be at the game, so he going to coach me up from the sideline. Yeah, I already told him, Unk. Don't be out there embarrassing us or nothing. Hey, Joe. Hey, Joe. Hey, Joe, I got you. Joe, you hit me? All right. Okay. I got you, Joe.

I don't know what it is about a lefty, but it's something about a lefty. Whether it's bowling, whether it's throwing a baseball, whether it's horseshoes, shooting pool, a baseball, basketball. I don't know what it is about that left. Playing tennis, it's something about the spin they can get on the ball, especially tennis players. Even bowling. Man, they be hooking that ball.

1:01:41Chad Johnson:Oh.

1:01:43Shannon Sharpe:Ocho Cinco, you just got mentioned in a little Uzi Bird song. He just dropped called Yoko. you heard it hey uh you know yeah of course i heard it that's my little nephew i don't people people don't realize my name has been mentioned in rap songs for the past 25 years 25 years you've been that boy i'm really not being that boy but it's always in reference to the way i live my life in general always every time it's it's yeah it's just just the way i i've done everything so it's pretty cool wow oh joe oh iso do you think doing away with the fullback position played a role in devaluing the running back position no not at all whether you're good you're good you have to understand if you're elite like these players that are getting paid 20 and above they're elite you can't devalue those type of backs you can't you just can't how can you they are too valuable the ball.

1:02:49Shannon Sharpe:They wanted to value your position that you don't put an emphasis on. So you're not running the football. We throw in the football, but you said, well, we don't run it. Well, you throw it 50 times a game. Hell. You think somebody going to rush for 200 yards and 15 carries? You might have a situation like that once upon a time, but that's not normal. Right. Official GTEL, I'm being sincere when I say this. I think Steve Smith and Ocho deserve to be inducted to the Hall of Fame with what they both were able to do with their teams they were on. I think it's a given they should. Ocho, what you thinking?

1:03:29No. No. Steve, yes. Me, no. Why you say no to you? Because I got my own jacket. I like it. I like it the way it is. Joe, I'm being honest. I'm not really one that really the Hall of Fame, what it means, what it stands for, what it represents. Awesome. Awesome. Unk being a nail, being a part of that illustrious crew of players who are the best of the best in enshrined, legacy cemented. No, I don't need that. I don't need that. I like my little jacket I made. It fits me it fits my personality it fits who i am i i just like it that way steve steve definitely belongs

1:04:12Shannon Sharpe:in it though it's tough man i don't know what the hall of fame is anymore i thought i'd know they been took me out of it out of the running side because i would say guys oh that guy about to go in and he ain't people ain't in there yet tory hope uh uh uh uh reggie rain mm-hmm yeah Luke going in on Saturday Mike Shanahan should be in there they got some coaches in there Mike Shanahan got back-to-back Super Bowls man look here so I'm protesting this will be part one of a two-part question so I came across an article on future Hall of Famers and they wrote the writer wrote about Josh Allen what do y 'all think all love fellas keep up the Entertainment.

1:04:58Shannon Sharpe:Thanks, Ash. Allen would be the quarterback on the all-decade first team if they released it tomorrow. Every single all-decade quarterback is enshrined in the Hall of Fame. Allen would join them. Bill Barnwell. Hold on. He's going to be the first with no Super Bowls? And you got Patrick Mahomes got two of them faves in this decade? And been the four? Hmm.

1:05:31Chad Johnson:Okay.

1:05:38Shannon Sharpe:I'm missing something. Ha ha. A man got back-to-back Super Bowl, so let me get this straight. One guy got an MVP. He got two Super Bowl wins. Back-to-back MVPs in this decade. got the most playoff wins in this decade but Josh Allen would be the

1:06:10Shannon Sharpe:hey guys there's a video trending Michael Irvin said he would have Reggie White, Jay Boogie and Garrett over Garrett and Donald I'll take Reggie and Jay Boogie man people don't realize how good Reggie because like it's hard to imagine if you didn't see a player play Yeah. I played against him. I didn't play against Jerome. Jerome had ended up tragically passing away in April or May of 92. We played him that fall. They held us to 37 total yards. Damn.

1:06:51Shannon Sharpe:Go look it up, Chad. 1992. Broncos play the Eagles. in veteran stadium. They held us to 37 yards. Total. Hey, y 'all did all that practicing all week to put up 37 yards, boy. Man, Reggie was hell. Hey, just imagine Aaron Donald now put 20 pounds on him and four inches because that's Reggie. 6 '4", 300, and just tossing 330-pound linemen. He tossing with one arm. That one he got on, what's Brother Allen's name? Larry Allen. Larry Allen? Yeah, he caught Larry Allen on his heels, boy. You got to realize, but they had a team then. They had Reggie. They had Boogie. They had Clyde Simmons because he played the three.

1:07:53Then they had Seth Jordan, Byron Evans, EA. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

1:08:07Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, they were loaded defensively. Hey, my father has the same story when you played for San Diego in the 70s. Said that he had an INT in his hand, and James lost and took it from over his back for a TD. James said, nah, I got that.

1:08:28Lockton was...

1:08:30Shannon Sharpe:People don't remember. See, James started in Green Bay, Ocho. Yeah. Hey, guys, Chris Carter recently said that if Terrell Owens was a better route runner, he would have been even better than what he was. Do you guys agree? Well. Why Chris Carter always talking about somebody? what somebody should have done. For you to say that, that's saying something. Look, no matter what you thought of him as a route runner, he's the second or third best greatest receiver to ever play. Yeah. But for his size, you got to realize, T.O. is six foot, two and a half, six three, 215. What, you want him to get in and out of routes like Ocho?

1:09:20Shannon Sharpe:Or Devontae? or AB? You're asking a lot of, that's asking an awful lot to a man for a man to downshift. That size. Running that hard and to do a comeback and to do a dig, do an end cut. I thought T.O. ran pretty good routes, me personally. He did. He ran them good enough. You see what the numbers look like and you get the ball in his hands, man. He was as good as Ocho ever been with T.O. run after the catch. He ran angry. He ran angry. He did. Him and Steve Smith with that ball in their hands. I ain't never I don't know what the hell Steve Smith's the greatest receiver ever played. Pound for pound?

1:10:12Shannon Sharpe:5 '9"? How much did he weigh? 200? Yeah, Smitty would mean as hell.

1:10:18Chad Johnson:That little joke was tough. He was mean, bro. Tougher than wet leather. Oh, man.

1:10:24Shannon Sharpe:Pound for pound. I'll take Steve Smith over here, anybody, pound for pound.

1:10:28Chad Johnson:Hey, hey, hey, you know my best game, I'll never forget this, bro. I watched him play. You remember when he went to the Ravens and he played against the Panthers? Yeah.

1:10:36Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. And he went off all the - Yeah.

1:10:39Chad Johnson:That's what I put on a mean demonstration, boy. And cut up. You cut up. Huh?

1:10:44Shannon Sharpe:Smitty don't forget anything. That's one thing for sure. You know, me and Smitty, we played together at Santa Monica Junior College.

1:10:51Chad Johnson:Yeah, I remember you telling me that. Yeah, and Juco. He was on the same team. And he was just like that back then, too. And he's back in 97.
