He is an elite athlete, and he's going to be perfect for the Sixers. That man put up 26 shots tonight, man. Mm-hmm. As a rookie, Ocho, playing with MB and Maxie. Hold on. I got a question for you, Joe. What's up? Where do Paul George fit in this mix? Uh-oh. Them two guards. Well, first off, you can't take this young boy out. I know. You can't take him out because in summer league, he showed promise. In the preseason, he showed promise.

29:05Shannon Sharpe:And now, first game of the season, he's came out. He's competed at a high level. Man played 42 minutes. Man, I'm talking about he balled out, bro. Like, you can't play more minutes than anybody. Yeah, you can't taper that down. You want him to continue to be aggressive, to continue to assert himself on both ends of the floor. because he can dominate both ends of the floor. He's a hell of a two-way player. I love him. I love him. Hold on, Joe. Hold on now. Hold on. He's a two-way player. He was dominant tonight. As good as he looks, all the multiple things that he can do, when Paul George comes back, young Bull's going to have to go to the bench.

29:40No, he ain't. He ain't.

29:41Shannon Sharpe:Whoever this Barlow dude is up here, he's going to have to go to the bench. And Oubre is going to have to move to the floor or something. They're not taking that boy out there lining up. Nah, he's the number three pick. Yeah, he ain't coming off no bench. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Yeah, he doing exactly what they want him to do. And that's be aggressive. Right. Make plays on both ends of the floor. And, man, look, he plays great off of Maxie. Like, this young backcourt here got some promise, bro. And they scored 42 points in the fourth quarter. Yeah, they weren't playing. They weren't playing. Them boys, Nasson.

30:19Shannon Sharpe:And that was in Boston. That was on the road. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, they got me hyped for basketball season, boy. Oh, man. Put that ball down, man.

You know, I got to be in Atlanta Tuesday. Tuesday? Yeah, I fly in Monday. I got to film something with Cam. Let me see who they are. Hey, man, we go to a game and sit course, I get some hot dogs and stuff. Wimby doing a number on the Mavericks. Wimby got 31, 11 of 17, 31 points, 10 rebounds, three blocks, a steal, an assist.

31:14They playing the Mavs. What are Cooper Flagg doing?

I'm being honest with y 'all. I like Cooper Flagg game. Yeah. And I know J. Kidd is going to get the most out of him, but I don't know about him playing this point guard, guys. No, no, no. I don't know. Hold on. The point, why he not at the four? Man, they got 80. Anthony Davis is at the four. Who the hell at the five? They got Derrick Lively II at the 5 They got PJ at the 3 They got AD at the 4 They got Kluper Flagg at the point And they got Klay at the 2 That's not right at all That's not right They need a point guard Hey listen, it's third quarter He a minus 23 Damn It's the same thing with the Rockets The Rockets need a point guard Thompson, look Look, I like Almond Thompson.

32:15Shannon Sharpe:He's a phenomenal player, but he's not a point. Yeah, they stroking that ball up the court yesterday, man. Hey, they whole goddamn lineup, everybody's 6 '11". 6 '7", yeah. Almond Thompson is the shortest. Everybody else 6 '11". Yeah. Shingun, KD, Porter. Jabari Smith. Yeah, Jabari, excuse me, Jabari Smith and Stephen Adams. Yeah. And them boys, tall as hell, man.

That was one game. Hey, Joe, I was out there facilitating like magic. No, you're not quite like magic. Magic. I turned off news altogether. I hate to say it, but I don't trust much of anything. It's the rage bait. It feels like it's trying to divide people.

33:51If we got clear facts, maybe we can calm down a little. NBC News brings you clear reporting. Let's meet at the facts. Let's move forward from there. NBC News, reporting for America. Hey, I'm Hoda Kotb, host of the podcast Joy 101 with Hoda Kotb. Okay, if you know me, you know this. I'm always searching for inspiration, for support, and useful tools to help maximize joy. So this podcast lets us uncover all of that together. We're going to have these meaningful conversations with the world's most fascinating people. Like when actress Olivia Munn shared how she overcame fierce health challenges that she never saw coming.

34:36I've gone through breast cancer and then helped my mother through breast cancer, and that was more difficult. There's a lot of people who understand postpartum depression. I was not prepared for postpartum anxiety. Olympic champ Shawn Johnson revealed why she had no choice but to be a gymnast. There was something about gymnastics that was intoxicating to me. It's given me a belief that we all have one of those treasures inside of us. We just have to find it.

35:09American soccer has exploded. The knockout rounds are here. The U.S. won their group, and now every match is win or go home. Score!

35:21USA! I'm Tad Ramos. And I'm Tom Bogert. On our podcast, Inside American Soccer, we'll talk about the real storylines. I'm not worried about Pulisic. I'm not worried about Balogun. I'm not worried about McKinney. My only concern is what happens in the back. And give you the truth about the U.S. national team from inside the program. It wouldn't be a huge surprise if our team ends up in the quarterfinals or potentially a great run into the semifinals. Whether you're a lifelong fan or this is your first World Cup. We've got you covered. U.S.K.! Listen to Inside American Soccer with Tom Bogart and Tabramos on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

36:05I'm Jake Brennan, and on the Disgraceland podcast, I explore the wild lives of rock stars and unbelievable true crime stories from music history. These are the stories you haven't heard, the kind you'll end up telling someone else. Like the time Paul McCartney spent in one of the world's most notorious prisons. Imagine that. You're Paul McCartney. It's 1980. You're an ex-Beatle, And you're doing time in one of Japan's worst prisons right there alongside Yakuza gangsters and for a ridiculous charge. Or the bizarre crime Lady Gaga is accused of. Who is the artist Lady Gaga is being accused of doing the unthinkable to after allegedly stealing her music and style to become famous?

36:54And what about that time Blondie's Debbie Harry escaped a serial killer? The man who had given her that ride she barely escaped from was Ted Bundy. Listen to Disgraceland on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The World Cup is underway and it's been incredible. On our podcast, The Away End with Daniel Alarcon and John Green, we're talking about the games that have delighted us, the teams that have inspired us, what we're loving and what surprised us, all through the lens of being massive fans of the world's most beautiful game. Daniel, this tournament has been magical so far.

37:29The expanded field of teams has created some incredible matchups that have already made this World Cup one to remember. And now things get even more exciting with the intensity of the knockout rounds as the field is whittled down to one World Cup champion on July 19th. When you say it like that, I get a pain in my heart that the tournament is over. But there's a lot of soccer yet to go. And if the first few games of the round of 32 are any indication, anything is possible in the lead up to the final. We've got it covered from an ultra's perspective here on the away end. So listen to the away end with Daniel Alricone and John Green on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

38:12Shannon Sharpe:Oh, Joe Ocho, the vibes surrounding LeBron situation with the Lakers have not been the best per Javon Buha. The vibes with the situation have not been the best. I'll say so again I don't really want to go too much down that road but yeah I mean thought there were times just looking at the huddle or looking at the bench that he wasn't engaged as he typically is when he's out oh Joe Joe Joe let me stick with you first Joe what's going on man Bron look focus over there man you ain't hey look he got that poker face over there you don't know what he got going on in that head you know I mean hey he can't he can't do nothing man battling sciatica what y 'all want from him, man.

38:51Shannon Sharpe:They want him to be jumping up and down to talk about, well, if he can do all that, he should be in the game. You know they going to say that, Joe. I don't know if y 'all know what that sciatica is. I know what it's like. Man, listen, you won't even be able to run or bend over or do nothing with that sciatica. It's not a thing. Absolutely not. They're not going to evaluate him for another two weeks. They're planning mid-November, So two weeks is damn near is what? The beginning of November. So and then he's going to have to ramp it up, have to play and try to get, you know, get some on court conditioning.

39:28Shannon Sharpe:Damn. So he might miss. What do you think of Joe? The first 10 to 15 games? Easy, easy, easy. But you know what? Looking at him over there, he do look like he's still in some shape. Now, I know he's working behind the scenes. Oh, yeah, for sure. He ain't coming back. He ain't always be in shape. He ain't coming back to be no average broad. He's going to come back and really get to it. So they definitely could have used him last night. Yeah. They can't play defense. They can't, man. They can't play defense. I mean, you got, look, Luka tried, but Luka can't play no defense. Austin Reeves really can't play no defense because Austin Reeves realized one thing, playing defense won't get me paid.

40:10Shannon Sharpe:Putting ball in basket gets me$30 million. Gets me$40 million. And he's going to get a$200 million deal. Oh, yeah. It's going to be – it's going to be – it should be a little easier for him that Bron ain't out there. You know, I would figure him and Luka – obviously, we know Luka's going to be Luka. But, yeah, Luka had 43-12-9. He went – but, look, he a walking bucket. Luka, you can't stop him. He can do it. He can get to where he want to go. He got it. He's going to play at his pace. You cannot speed him up. He got a big body. He can play through contact. that's his defense huh his offense to try to where you dive on the OB there you go his offense is gonna be his defense hey I don't know what y 'all think this is but yeah his offense is what's gonna make him a hell of a player and what's gonna offset his defense for sure Ja Morant tonight they won 122-128 over the Pelicans Ja 35 points a steal three assists, three rebounds.

41:18Shannon Sharpe:Jaron Jackson had 18. Wells had 14. Jacques Lawndale had 10. They got Prosper, came off the bench, gave him 10. Coward gave him 14. For the Pelicans, Herb Jones had 17. Zion gave you 27. Trey Murphy III gave you 13. Jordan Poole gave you 17. I guess that's Sadiq Bae, came off the bench, gave you 13 and then Fears gave you 17. When you look at this, man, y 'all can say what you want, but if Ja Morant can stay healthy, because I'm going to take y 'all back to the playoffs, Arcan Ocho. They lost them first two games at OKC. But their third game in Memphis, Memphis was up 30 points before Ja got hurt and OKC walked their lead.

42:09Shannon Sharpe:Walked them down, they did. So we don't know how the tables would have turned if that man would have stayed healthy. He is electric, and I love watching him play. I just want to see him stay healthy because he could potentially be in the MVP conversation, man. He'd keep it up. I know it's just first game, but he looked good out there, man, putting pressure on them boys. Yeah. Well, that's the thing. I mean, look, we know what he is. The thing is, because of his body type and because he plays above the rim, that damn court hard. And he falls an awful lot. Now, I know he wear a pad suit. Yeah. But that's still a damn – I mean, as much as he puts – as much pressure as he puts on the defense, getting to the rim, elevating.

42:53Shannon Sharpe:That's a – I mean – With that frame, he got – Yeah. Yeah, with that frame, he's going to be subject to injury. Yeah. He a thin-framed individual. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, you know, him and AI got the same goddamn frame. Not the same skill set. I'm just saying the same frame and they always hitting the flow. Yeah. He look good though, man. Hey, look, we got to give Zion some credit too. Cause when he, he held the 27 points, nine rebounds, five assists, five steals. When he playing now, that's what he giving you. We, we look, we ain't nobody ever questioned his ability. We just questioned his availability.

43:33Shannon Sharpe:Right. Right. That's the only thing. That's the only thing we've ever, that's the only thing that we could ever, Question. Yeah. Should he like be a better rebounder? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think he should average double-digit rebounds. If Charles Barkley is 6 '4", can average double-digit rebounds? Zion, you can too because you are more explosive left-handed Charles Barkley. I know he can. That's what you are. Now, Charles taught himself how to shoot mid-range, shoot the three. See, people just look at Charles and all they see him is talking. People don't realize how good Charles Barkley was. Very.

44:10Shannon Sharpe:People don't realize Charles Barkley was hell. Yeah. He led the league and rebounded at 6 '4". The smallest man ever to lead the league and rebounded. Which is crazy. He was a bad boy, man. Me and Barkley the same height? Yeah. That's crazy. Hey, you know what? I forgot to ask. We done went past it already, right? Hey, Joe and Unc, y 'all ever had cicadas? What is that? Cicada is an insect The 17 year cicadas No you mean sciatic

44:44Shannon Sharpe:What is it called? Sciatic It's a sciatic What I called it? Cicadas That's an insect I ain't never had it Ocho But I got a partner Who had it He played ball and he had to sit out a lot of time. Damn. Yeah. It's like a sharp shooting pain from like your glute, from your low back to your glute all the way down to your foot. Go down to your side and make your feet numb. Yeah. Sometimes, I've heard, I've never seen it, I've heard people have it so bad they can't control body function. What? Yeah. Damn. Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy. Cicadia is an insect Yeah I'm confused 17 year cicadas They come once every 17 years In Cincinnati yeah They caught me one year But I don't know why I thought it just sounded the same It sounds similar so my bad Yeah Yeah I know what he meant I done been around him so long I know exactly what he's talking about Just like when he said George Flintstone I know he meant Fred He just got the two confused between Jordan Jensen and Fred Flintstone.

46:06Shannon Sharpe:I knew exactly what he meant. I messed it up? Damn. Yeah, I knew exactly what you meant. Yeah, I did.

46:18Hey, boy, this basketball season got me hyped, boy.

46:20Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, you know, hey, it's just like old people, when your grandparents used to talk and you knew exactly what they were saying? Yeah. Even if they were wrong, huh? hey basketball Joe the NBA will return to painting the Larry O 'Brien trophy at center court during the finals per Shams this will be the first finals with the large trophy painted on the court since 2009 why do they take it up I don't know I enjoy especially playing you know when the playoffs come you got the playoffs on the court Now it's a regular game in the playoffs. I don't like that, man. Bring the playoffs back. Put the playoffs back on the court.

47:06Shannon Sharpe:Right. Finals get here. Put the big trophy out there. That's what we want to experience, those iconic moments. I'm glad they bringing it back, though. I didn't notice it was gone. Yeah, I did. I did. Because, look, when I was watching the finals, it looked like a regular game. Yeah. Okay. Come on, we ain't got no playoffs on the floor, the finals or nothing. I'm used to seeing that. So you want the trophy in the middle? in the middle. Yes, we used to be at center court. For the finals, yeah. Right. Okay. Yeah, man, dress it up. Give us the bells and whistles, man. Come on now. I like it. I know it's early.

47:42Who's your favorite, Joe, to win the finals this year?

47:47Shannon Sharpe:Woo-wee. I ain't gonna lie to you. I don't know who coming out the East. It could be the... If you make me pick, I would probably say the Knicks or the Cavs because I don't think Boston can get there without Tatum. I definitely don't think the Pacers can get there without Halliburton. Now Turner left and went to Milwaukee. Who knows? Maybe Milwaukee. They do have Giannis. They do have Miles Turner. I don't know who the guards are. You know, Giannis is going to give you 30, 13, and 6. Miles Turner should be able to give you 17 and 10. I don't know. Who you got coming out the West End? I ain't going to lie.

48:35Shannon Sharpe:I got OKC, man. Again? Yeah, I'm going to tell you why, Ocho. When you watch them boys play, man, they don't play like everybody else. They 94 feet. As soon as that ball go in the hoop, they pick you up full court and they weigh you down. Kind of like similar. I know the Rockets probably should have won that game yesterday. No, the Rockets should have lost the regulation because KD called time out and the referee didn't give it to him. You right. But I love how OKC play, man. They just relentless, Ochoa, on both hands, bro. You know what I love about them? Everybody knows their role. Man, and they look like nobody challenges Shea.

49:15Shannon Sharpe:Tell my man, I'm just as good as Shea. I need me shots. They got six guys, legit guys, that can play defense. And they can rotate them. They're not going to be on the court at any point in time where they don't have at least three wing defenders. Right. And when you look at it, they look like a team who enjoy being around each other. Can you tell? Man, that chemistry and continuity that they have. I agree. It doesn't matter who gets to play the game, the whole team standing there listening to the interview, the post-game interview. For me, I think that's dope. I love that. They just look like they really enjoy being around one another.

49:57Shannon Sharpe:And I think with that alone, that's going to take them a long way, bro. That's going to take them a long way. Tonight, the Bucs win 133-120 over the Washington Wizards. Giannis, 37 points, 14 rebounds, five assists. Miles Turner had 11-8. Greg Trent Jr. had 17. Chris Porter Jr. had 10. Kevin Porter. Kevin Porter, yeah, Kevin Porter. Had 10. Green had 11. Tayshaun Prince had 11. And Kyle Kuzma had 12. Okay, Kuzma, there you go, boy. Kuzma came off the bench. Yeah. Hey, Tayshaun Prince. Torian Prince. Torian Prince. Oh. Hey, listen. You look at Tayshaun, your age, bro. He ain't out there. Yeah, yeah.

50:55Shannon Sharpe:Hey, hey, look at Giannis, man. Giannis just, oh, my God. 16 of 26. Hey, hey, Joe. 4-7 from the free throw line. And he coming straight down here, Joe. Yep. Ocho, the man 6 '11", man. 6 '11", except for the, you know, like, what he is doing, you know, obviously before Wimby got into the league. Right. Never seen nothing like that. and now that Wimby is in the league, now he's doing something that we've never seen. But Giannis, man, he ain't going to be denied now. He ain't going out without no fight now. Yeah, that man going to come to play every night. Hey, excuse my lack of knowledge, right?

51:33Go ahead. But would it be unfair or would it be fair to compare a young Amari Stoudemire and the Greek freak? Or am I completely off?

51:48Shannon Sharpe:They got two. They both ferocious when it comes to attacking the rim. The rim, right. But Giannis is more of a ball handler. Yes. Murray was more of a post. Of a finish. But Murray was looking. He stayed in the pick and roll. Yeah. You got to realize he had two-time league MVP, Steve Nash. Steve Nash, yeah. One of the best pick and roll point guards to ever play. Right. So basically, they were John Stockton and Karl Malone. Yeah. Hey, look. But before Nash got there, you know, he had Stephon Marbury. And he won Rookie of the Year over Yao Ming. Like, Amari was ahead of his time, bro. Like, he was relentless, Ocho.

52:25Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Like, I don't think people give him a lot of credit. But the man came out of high school, bro, just with the attitude, like, it don't matter. I'm going through you, not around you. I'm going through you. Like, that's my dog, bro. Like, he's one of the best that will play the game, especially at that position. He was unguardable, bro. Unguardable. it's funny I saw Amari Stoudemire play in high school he played in Miami though they played Miami Northwestern at Miami Northwestern obviously I didn't know any idea who he was back then obviously dominated right and so I remember watching his game a little bit of basketball I watched back then and then seeing the Greek freak play and all I can think about is damn Amari Stoudemire going downhill if you in the way I'm dunking over you you better park the Red Sea and watching the Greek Freak, you in the way, I'm dunking over you.

53:22Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, hey, Lake Wales. Lake Wales, Florida. That's how he used to hot. Lake Wales, Florida. Yeah, that's my guy, man. You see him coming out through the lane, you better part the Red Sea, man. Hey, he coming with bad intentions. Bad every time. You already know it. Him and Greek Freak, when it comes to finishing an attack of that rim, same, bro. Relentantly. They don't care who down there. Yeah, remind me of myself, Joe. Oh, here we go. That's how you used to do it? Yeah, you know, at the junior high school, I used to play on a 10-foot rim. Okay, what happened? I mean, I used to look at the Greek freak, like a Marty Stoudemire.

54:05Shannon Sharpe:No, you ain't look like that, don't you? I'm saying I was a little heavy set. I was a little heavy set back then, back in 87. Nah, nah, nah Nah, we ain't going I gotta hold you accountable, Ocho You gotta stop this, for real Hey, Joe, ask about me, man I went Allapattah Junior High Allapattah Junior High, ask him how I was on them courts, bro You were getting down Yeah, a little something The man Yeah, yeah, a little something How many sports you played in school, Ocho? Soccer, baseball, basketball You did this in high school? You did all that in high school? Yeah, what? What did he do, Ocho? I mean, Joe?

54:47Shannon Sharpe:He said he played soccer, baseball, basketball, and football in high school. I don't know where the man lying, but if I had to... Nah, nah, nah, Joe, I do all... Joe, Joe, you know the seasons overlap. Huh? Football and basketball, they overlap, bro. Oh, no, I was like Deion. Like, Deion played for the Braves and the Falcons. That's how it was in high school. Man, we would have heard about that. You don't think we would have heard about that? I mean, goddamn, Joe, I went to goddamn high school in the 80s. How you gonna hear about that? You ain't went to no high school in no damn 80s.

55:24Shannon Sharpe:I went to the high... I graduated high school in the 80s.

55:31Shannon Sharpe:What's wrong with this man? But yeah, look, like I said, I didn't even notice that they had taken the logo, the Larry O 'Brien trophy at the center. But yeah, they should. I don't know why they took it away. Maybe if people slipping on it or something, I don't know. I mean, you know what? I think, what is it like the decal or something? I think it probably is a little slick. Yeah. Man, with the technology they got now, come on now. Oh yeah, they can fix that. They can fix that.

56:07Shannon Sharpe:Candace Parker says that innovation she'd like to see in NBA coverage would be replicate how analysts cover schemes at a high technical level I'm a big football fan I feel like I learned a lot from blitz coverage and drop to different defenses I never saw until they started showing it in technology I think sometimes players we see things but expect fans to see the game the same way but to be able to kind of like hint to fans that what were coming I think that would be magical Yes, because we see the game. That's the thing. We're fans, but we're analysts. So we're analyzing the game. I'm not interested in how the team scored.

56:45Shannon Sharpe:I want to know how they scored. I want to know how they beat the defense. I want to know what coverage they were in, Ocho. So I need to know, were you in cover four? Were you in cover five? Were you in cover six? Was it six kicks? Was it seven? Was it quarters? That's what I'm interested in. Okay, Ocho, what y 'all in? A three-by-one? Was it empty set? Yeah. was it 11 personnel was it 12 personnel was it 21 personnel was it i don't know fans say they want that but they don't no i don't they don't i don't i don't think so you would you would have to really love like really really love the game yeah it would take it would take away from being a fan right yes that part would take away from actually being a fan that is too much and it can be confusing unless you're really interested in dedicated and devoted to knowing what's actually going on outside of the game itself me i'm a i'm a fan so i had to know so i know when they talk about the when you hear lebron say the nail i was like okay so what the hell is the nail yeah oh oh okay so that's where it's hard to bring the double from the nail because he's between the free throw line and top the key inside the key.

58:02Shannon Sharpe:It's hard to bring the double when you're that high out. Okay, the dunker spot. Okay, you want to pin down. You want to flare. Oh, okay. I feel pretty good. I feel like I'm breaking that thing down like I'm DB. Yeah, yeah. But that's because I want to know why. Look, I don't care. It's nice to see the three and all that other stuff, but I need to know why. How did that guy so wide open? Who blew that? Because we're more than a casual fan. So when we watch the game, we're a different person. We're analyzing it. Yes. Yeah. Yes. Were you supposed to, bro, trap that. Were you supposed to hedge? Were you supposed to go under?

58:42Shannon Sharpe:Were you supposed to go over? Yeah. Yeah. So that's how I'm looking at it. And I get what Candice is saying, but Candice, I really don't know. There are probably a few fans, but the more fans, man, I don't care about that. My team scored. Damn, I don't care how they scored or why they scored. they score and all I know is we got the lead. Yep. You're right. Everybody ain't gonna want to go that in depth. No, but there will be a few. Yeah.

1:03:14Shannon Sharpe:Kemper Norwood Jr. Unc Ocho, my question, how far do you see the Lakers going? Play-in or play-offs?

1:03:25Shannon Sharpe:What'd you think of Joe? I think they'll make the playoffs. Ocho? First round exit. Damn. Yeah, I think they'll make that. I ain't gonna say for sure, but I do think they'll make the playoffs. Yeah, I think they'll make the playoffs also. Playoffs. Dr. Frank L. Bellamy welcome back Joe what did you miss the most speeches or Ocho's contagious laugh all of it man all of it Ocho lying hold on Joe what I lie about Joe just cause I ain't on here with y 'all almost every night don't mean I ain't listening alright I'm listening I'm watching and Ocho you be a love misspoke the truth. I mean, lying is really harsh, Joe.

1:04:12Shannon Sharpe:He misspoke the truth. Listen, hey, Joe, anything I talk about, Joe, honestly, I'm going to be truthful with you. Anything I talk about on here, I know it might seem fabricated. It might seem like a lie. But these are life experiences that I've been through. Somebody's life experience is not yours. Promise you. You're right. There are life experiences. This boy here, man. Joe, the Raptors put something on your Hawks. All right, now. Man, they dropped 45 in the third, Joe. Hey, I thought we were doing Q &A about to get up out of here. But listen. Yo, what happened to your Hawks? You know what? And that was a home game for us, too, man.

1:04:59Shannon Sharpe:It was. I don't know. Probably because I wasn't there to gain room for them. If you were going to keep it 100, which you might need to be out there playing for them. It don't look like we played no defense. and give up 138 points at home. 73 in the second half, Joe. Damn. I don't know what happened, man. We got to get together. We got to get together. First game. Hey, when we go to a game, I'm finna heckle them boys. Hold on, hold on, hold on, Ocho. I'm gonna tell you about the Miami Heat in Orlando. We won. What, please? What'd y 'all win? What the score was? Well, y 'all lost by four. It was 120, what was the score?

1:05:35Shannon Sharpe:121 to 125, Orlando. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, how, how, uh, Ben Perro, how you say his last name? Ben Carroll. Yeah, how you doing? Ben Carroll. Oh, Ben Carroll, nice. He had 24. He had 24 and 11. Voss Wagner had 24. Yeah, they good. They not playing. Baines had 23. First game over there with the Magic. Suggs. Damn. Suggs, uh, how many Suggs have? He had 14, but he was six or seven from the field. He was facilitating, doing what he do. Yeah, see? Orlando gonna be tough. Ricky said Wimby putting the league on notice tonight. He's back making Cooper Flagg look like some barbecue chicken. No, look, we saw Wimby his rookie season.

1:06:20Shannon Sharpe:I mean, look, the guy's 12 foot tall. I mean, he can shoot it. I mean, look, he could. I mean, I've seen people have a two on one fast break and pull it out. I ain't messing with Wimby. They know he's going to throw it in a fighter bear. Ocho. Yo, it's six and a half minutes left. This man got 38 and 13. Yeah, I'm looking at him. He ain't playing. Oh, he for real. And he got 37. Because we're not used to seeing somebody that. Look, KD, when you see a guy KD height. So just imagine somebody five, six inches taller than KD. They say he's good. That can handle the ball, shoot the three, put the ball on the floor, get to the rim, and you ain't getting nothing to hear.

1:07:06Shannon Sharpe:I wouldn't be surprised if he set the NBA record for blocked shots. I think either Mark Eaton or Manute Bowe has the record for the most. I think it's got five blocks a game. Was it Mark Eaton or Manute Bowe? Man, they say the man done grew two inches. That's what I'm saying. So if Kevin Durant's 6 '11", 7 foot, he's 7 '5", 7 '6". Oh, my God. Normally, seven guys that tall, Joe. Look at Manubo, George Murerson, Don Brantley. They not having the ball like that. Nah. Yeah. Hey, he's 7 '7", 6', 7", whatever it is. Yeah, he's 7 '5", 7 '6". Hey, he twitchy with it, though. Yeah. Yes. Man, hey, San Antonio going to be scary because he got some dogs around him.

1:07:55Shannon Sharpe:Them young boys, he got this playing around him. They can go. Mark Eaton or Manubo. I think somebody had like five blocks a season. Five blocks a game. San Antonio, hey, look. Yeah, I don't keep talking. We talking about OKC. But, boy, look. San Antonio ain't playing. They putting it on. Man, they up. Mark Eaton. Ojo. 110.82? Yeah, Mark Eaton averaged four and a half blocks a game. I can see Wimby doing it. I can see Wimby, the guy that's most likely to get a quadruple double is Wimby, and he's going to do it with block shots. Like if Kim Olajuwon did his with block shots, normally have rebounds, assists, steals.

1:08:38Shannon Sharpe:I mean, he's going to do it with block shots. Hey, hey, hey. He look like he ain't come to play no games with these boys today. He had 40 and 15. Okay, Ocho. Yeah. Oh, he going to be. Oh, he done. Yeah. This man. He's like, Wimby tonight. Lord, have mercy. Yes. Lord, have mercy. T.S. Carwashing detail. Is the Clippers a top five team in the West? Who can win it all? Not the Clippers. Look, they lost tonight. Look, T. Lou is too good of a coach. They'll figure this out. Kawhi, ooh, Kawhi didn't play well tonight. 3-9, 1-5 from the three. He had 10 points, minus 25. Nobody really played well. Bradley Beal had five.

1:09:21Shannon Sharpe:James Harden had 15. James had 15 and 11. two rebounds. Zubats had 19 and 7. Derrick Jones Jr. had 12. John Collins had 14. Brooke Lopez had 15. I wonder why Kawhi only took nine shots though. Dang, they like, I expect him, I expect Kawhi to be at least 18 attempts, 20 attempts. I expect him to be aggressive. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But if you go back and look at it, nobody really took John Collins and Brooke Lopez had as many shots as James Harden. Zubat had the most. He was 9 of 13. But this is... Hold on. Utah scored... Oh, yeah, this game was over. Utah scored 43 in the first, 35 in the second.

1:10:14Shannon Sharpe:So they had 78. And they were up 78 to 47. So now you see why he only... They did them altitude and got to them Clippers. and playing. Hey, look, y 'all know I played in Utah for two years. I know what it's like. It's almost like playing in Denver. Yes, it is. It is. Man, listen. Nicky Grant says, I'm single, two steps past 40, well-employed, no kids, I'm enjoying minding my biz and enjoying my mortgage. According to Chad, I'm screwed. According to... Well, shoot. man 40 I mean it ain't too late it ain't too late you ain't screwed Nicky alright yeah you ain't screwed Nicky he out there what kind of car we got Nicky yeah he out there I mean you got a Mercedes cause you know Mercedes you can put a lot of miles on a Mercedes now

1:11:19nah look Look, there's somebody out there for everybody. Yeah, that's what they say. Yeah. And you know, women love to say don't settle.

1:11:32Shannon Sharpe:But see, it's different for, see, Ocho, a guy looking to make money so he can provide. Women, a lot of women are looking to make money so they can become independent. See, they done got them fooled. You don't need no man. And the first time, hey, can you do this now? You don't need no man. Call somebody else to move you. or change your tire or change your oil or take you to get something. It all depends. Look, is that what you want? If you want somebody, settle. I don't think settle is the right word. I think the thing is that everybody is trying to find the perfect everything. He makes 500 to 10 million dollars.

1:12:17Shannon Sharpe:He's highly educated. He likes to travel. He doesn't have any kids, even if they do.

1:12:26That's a movie you're talking about right there. That's a fairy tale ending.

1:12:36Shannon Sharpe:Everybody, everybody, everybody wants that. Did you hear about the fairy tale ending? In that VN. Happily ever after. Yeah, in the movies. Yes. In the movies. In the movies. Hey, Nicky, I got somebody for you, Nicky. Nicky, you good. You good. I got somebody for you, though. Wizard P, is it time to stop sugarcoating these quarterbacks that have passed their prime? It's time for him to retire, and he's been washed for three to four years. Who? Who? Yeah, who he talking about? You got to give him some names, Wizard P. Because all the old quarterbacks in the NFL, they playing real well right now.

1:13:17He's good. Rogers is playing tremendous. Joe Flacco had an outstanding game the other night. Did you not see? He's going to have another outstanding win again against these goddamn Jets on Sunday. Was he a – who was AFC offensive player of the week this week?

1:13:31Shannon Sharpe:Was it Flacco? I think it might have been Uno.

1:13:38Shannon Sharpe:How it's going to be Uno if Joe Flacco was throwing the ball? That boy had – how many catches he had, Ocho? It was Chase. 16. Oh, yeah. Jamar C-back. I told you. We know Michael won a defensive player of the year for the NFC. We had three sacks. When playing, getting around that edge. He closed the game out.

1:14:08Okay.

1:14:13Shannon Sharpe:Let Ocho tell it. He could have won the U.S. Open and ran 9-6 in the 100. I mean whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa now listen for those that do follow me Joe you've seen my tennis skills I haven't I haven't I've seen my tennis skills and listen it's well documented especially if anybody in the chat in Miami they know in the 100 in high school as a freshman I ran 9-8 I ran 9-8 so I ain't too far off a 9-6 and I wasn't even a track runner I was a soccer player and that's the 90 yard dash no no no for real yeah this is before i got hurt first of all if you ran nine eight in the hundred meters ain't no way in hell you're running four six who no i ran four six i fell i like i fell like i fell on my chest and got up and still ran four six come on okay come on joe come on he meant he meant he played pickleball joe yeah good he oh they say ocho got it you know pickleball he good of that.

1:15:15Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, I'm going to be back on that pickleball court. Give me a couple more points. Don't do that. Joe, don't do that. Don't do that. Hey, listen, hold on. I'm telling you, Ocho, I'm trying to team up with you. Oh, you ain't got to come at me like that. You got me? I'm going to team up with you. Hey, come to the winning side, Joe. Come to the winning side. I like that. I like that. I'm ready. Man, we get at some people with some doubles or something. Yeah, I like it. 97, sup, fellas. Start, Trey Cut, Shaq, Tim Duncan, Elijah Wan.

1:15:49I've said it.

1:15:50Shannon Sharpe:I'm going to stick by it. Tim Duncan is underappreciated. Yeah, he is. Look, because he ain't had no flashy game. He couldn't fly through the air. He ain't shoot no threes. He didn't have no funny sound bites. All he did was bless everybody you know what that played in his era. Mr. Fundamentals. I played against him in two playoff series. That boy wasn't nothing nice. Hey. Yeah. And what? Three finals MVPs. He won five. Three finals MVPs. A two-time MVP. He probably should have won a Defensive Player of the Year award, but he didn't because he was like a 15-time or 13, 14, 15-time all defensive.

1:16:33Shannon Sharpe:He's like 13, 14-time all NBA. Yeah. And he's putting up these numbers with Shaq. Now, him and Shaq going head-to-head, that was a matchup it was they did they had some great ones yeah also played in the era with Olajuwon yeah Olajuwon got the best of them in their finals that was a young Shaq yeah Olajuwon got the best of a lot of people a whole lot of people can do anything with Dre he was so quick I had a quick little stint with Houston this was it had to be 2018 in, what, 18, 19. This is when James Harden was averaging like what boy? 35? Yeah, 35, something like that. But we used to play three on three every day, Uncle Ocho.

1:17:21Shannon Sharpe:And me and Dream used to be on the same team every day, bro. He used to play three on three with us every day. Man, listen, some of the coolest stuff I've ever been a part of, bro. I used to look forward to that. Dream got day. Dream still got some nice game for you down there. You see he over there teaching Wimby and all them boys how to... Oh, yeah. That dream shake And the thing was He played both ends No he really really Played both ends Yeah he was a hell of a shot blocker So we're going to Prime Shaq Prime Duncan Prime Elijah won I can't cut none of them Somebody just got to Somebody got to come off the bench You'd be a fool to cut any of them hey that's unrealistic man you can't cut neither it's tough bro cause man listen I would probably prime Shaq ain't nothing like prime Shaq nothing you can do with him nothing at all nothing I would go prime Shaq

1:18:39Shannon Sharpe:you're going to have to cut Duncan ain't you tell the truth yeah you keep it 100 if you keep it 100 it's okay damn oh so I got it hold on I'm I you know what I got a trade no somebody go into the bench somebody got to go into the bench I ain't gonna get rid of them because they're going to come back and haunt me. Oh, boy. If you trade Olajuwon, he's going to come back and give you 40, 15 with 10 blocks. Duncan going to give you 20, 20, and 8. Shaq going to give you 40, 15 and going to pull the backboard down on your heat. Pulling the screws out of that thing. You hear me? Chad, what should we do, Chad?

1:19:25I'm going to start Shaq, and Duncan Olajuwon got to come off the bench. Hey,

1:19:33Shannon Sharpe:man. I thought that G said, I so miss you, brother. I know this is NBA episode, but them cowboys finna get whipped Sunday, Bronco country. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. What we got on it, baby? Make a lot of yourself, Joe. Oh, and we go. Make a lot of yourself, Joe. Hey, and I know we playing in Denver, but hold on. Let's break something down real quick. because I don't want you and Ocho to have amnesia on here because you're still down at dinner. Me and you, but we gonna handle that. Number one dinner? Come on now, come on, let's play this. Ass, ass, ass. You know what, Joe? Joe be talking about Ocho, you owe me like seven games and the series we won four, three.

1:20:16Shannon Sharpe:Hey Ocho, but you is in the hole though. We can laugh about it, but I still ain't got to pay, man. Interest, interest, interest, it adds up. Hold on, you see what Ocho are talking about me? I'm talking about you, because me and you, we bet. All you$100. But I'm saying it's interesting that. Ocho, you bet on me.

El Pray, can you tell the story about when your grandfather stood up against this brother that caused your uncle not to show up for my grandfather's funeral.

1:23:24Shannon Sharpe:My uncle was thumping me on the head. My grandfather would always tell us he didn't like nobody being thumping on the head. You make him thick-headed and he won't be able to learn. You know how the old people got saying. He thumped me. We were sitting on the porch and my grandfather's bedroom was right there. I thumped him. No, he thumped me. I said, ow, stop thumping me. And my grandfather room and he heard it. So I could hear my grandfather putting his coveralls on. That's what they call overalls, coveralls. And he came, he said, if you thump that boy one more time on his head, I'm going to kill you.

1:28:45Shannon Sharpe:That's all I'm saying. What you want me to do? You want me to curse the quarterback out? If that's what you got to do to get the ball, then that's what you need to do. Nah, nah, Joe. Yeah, if that's what you got to do, that's what you need to do. Hey, Joe, them people ain't going to invite me back no more for the show, Joe. They might not invite you back after that performance you put up. Oh, no, I look good, man. I just want you to go one time and bring Nightcap some hardware back. That's it. We send you off and you come back empty-handed. Hey, um, um, um, right hand, baby. I promise you I'm going to bring you something back.

1:29:14Shannon Sharpe:I got something for y 'all. Joe was going to bring us MVP back. Come on, man. What is you talking about? Come on, now. Hey, Joe. Hey, Joe. We want some awards, Joe, so we got you a award coming. What? Yeah, we want two of these. Boy, that one time. For nightcap. Okay. Okay, look, Unc, don't threaten me with no good time now. Nah, nah, anytime. Hey, hey, hold on, hold on, hold on. Hey, hey, hey, Unc? Huh? I got some floating shells, right? I'm putting some floating shells right behind me? Yeah. I'm gonna put some pictures. Man, do you see how crooked them plaques are? Whoever hugged them had vertigo.

1:30:01No, it's not crooked, it's the camera. Nah, nah. Not the wall.

1:30:07Shannon Sharpe:Whoever put them up, they have vertigo or they cocked like Ricky Smiles, they cocked like a pistol. Because he did that. That's why it looked like that. Yeah, that look in rigged. Man ain't getting on here. Man, hey, come on, Ocho, man. Now listen, listen, listen, listen. Stay with me, man. Stay with me real quick. It looked like that because of the camera. What camera? My camera. You saying your camera. You don't look crooked? Huh? You don't look crooked? I know. It's the depth perception. It's off. Boy, hey. Boy. I know you was something else. I know that boy was something else in school because, boy, you got to come back for everything.

1:30:45Shannon Sharpe:You hear me? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just telling you, the camera's off because the wall is flat, so it ain't no way it could be crooked. Joe, don't tell nobody, but he stayed in the same classroom the whole day. Hey, I had a 4.0, though. Yeah. Hey, you ain't do no but finger paint and take that.
