Nightcap Hour 3: Byron Scott QUESTIONS LeBron’s GREATNESS + Zion Williamson FINALLY OBSESSED With the PROCESS + Bill Simmons PREDICTS KD to ENTER HOF as a SUPERSONIC

14:34Chad Johnson:Because MJ came in and made the game sexy, Ocho. You know, he ain't got the most championships. Oh,

14:45Chad Johnson:yeah, he ain't got the most championships.

14:51Joe Johnson:Yeah. But when you're talking about, like, defying gravity

14:55Chad Johnson:and changing the way that we view NBA basketball.

14:59Joe Johnson:Yes, sir.

15:00Chad Johnson:Jordan led that charge, bro. Dr. J was before him, and then Jordan came. yeah he changed it he changed it and the game has been it's been in great hands ever since bro he took it to a whole nother level

15:14Shannon Sharpe:but even when even when Michael Jordan had no rings and Magic and Bird had all the rings they said he was the goat so they were saying that and he had no rings

15:31Shannon Sharpe:Magic had five before he won any Bird had three before he won any. And they said Michael was a better player.

15:41Shannon Sharpe:All those Celtics had 11, 10, 9, Sam Jones, Casey Jones, Tom Heinsohn, Mr. Russell, John Havlicek, all those guys. Bob Cousy. Bob Cousy got like 7-8 range.

15:56Chad Johnson:Now, Celtics rich in history when it comes to winning, Ocho.

15:59Joe Johnson:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

16:01Shannon Sharpe:They used to never lose no damn championship. how you think as a matter of fact they won like 8 championships in a row

16:14Shannon Sharpe:lost to the St. Louis Hawks and then wiped the table with everybody else from then on

16:18Chad Johnson:we ain't gonna see that ever again no teams running the table like that

16:24Shannon Sharpe:8 straight Joe you might not even see a repeat yeah you right Think about it. It's been a decade since you saw a repeat with the Warriors. It's been a decade.

16:40Joe Johnson:Before the Warriors, it was the Lakers, huh?

16:43Shannon Sharpe:Yes. No, the Heat. Oh, that's right. 2012.

16:48Joe Johnson:2012-13.

16:50Shannon Sharpe:Then the Lakers 9-10, and then the Lakers 3-peated. And then the Bulls 3-peated. And then the Bulls 3-peated. And then between the 3-peat was the Rockets 2-peat. Back-to-back.

17:03Shannon Sharpe:but I don't get this

17:10Shannon Sharpe:Zion oh Joe Dumars told Zion Williamson to be great at basketball you have to be obsessed with it per walk where have they heard that word obsessed and about to be great at something isn't that what we talk about all the time yeah it's the only way

17:28Joe Johnson:to be great at something

17:29Shannon Sharpe:But why wouldn't they give us credit when we say, how many times we done said this, Ochoa? Yeah, over and over. You got to be obsessed with it. But, okay, you can't casually become great in the league. What I've seen from him this summer is he's obsessed with the work he's putting in, and this is really encouraging for me that he's putting in this type of work.

17:52Chad Johnson:That's all we've been saying.

17:55Shannon Sharpe:Hey.

17:57Joe Johnson:Hey, I got a question for you. and Joe what's that this work he putting in is this a contract year

18:07Chad Johnson:I don't is it really all

18:11Shannon Sharpe:he's up Ash I think he's eligible to sign an extension this summer oh yeah

18:16Chad Johnson:you mean next summer

18:20Shannon Sharpe:he's trying to get that

18:22Chad Johnson:three hon done

18:25Shannon Sharpe:all the NBA will do it for you

18:28Joe Johnson:you see what I mean you see what it'll take to get you to be obsessed or it's time to get paid okay now I'm gonna lock in

18:36Shannon Sharpe:a commitment a singular focus

18:39Chad Johnson:but if you do get that prize you still gotta stay locked in you can't exhale that's all we've been talking about with Zion if he put the work in when that man plays Ocho he gonna give you at least 26

18:54Joe Johnson:yeah every time

18:56Chad Johnson:and that's a guy who ain't even really in tip-top shape. Now, from that picture that we seen a couple weeks ago, man, if that man look anything like that coming into the season, he's able to sustain that. This episode sponsored by Jace Medical.

On Solita, we share the messy stories of traveling alone as a woman. Your Duolingo is not going to come back to you when a man is inside of you. Oh, no. I'm Julie Pinheiro, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people, and they were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here.

20:25I can wait four hours for the next bus, or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is, and not the lies you're sold about it. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Nick Turturro. You probably know me from NYPD Blue, The Longest Yard, or Spike Lee's Black Klansman. But I'm also from Queens, which means I know pizza. And on my new podcast, Delivering Happiness with Nick DeToro, I deliver pizza from Prince Street Pizza to a new guest.

21:07You deliver pizza now? Then we sit down for a real conversation. I've shared a slice with everyone, from Seth Rollins. What are you doing with my belt? To Alex Rodriguez. Just to let you people know, we're talking to one of the goats here. To Bill Burr. I don't think I've ever met somebody so exactly out of their mind as I am. And now we even have more great guests coming up, including the great John Turturro.

Open your free iHeartRadio app, search Delivering Happiness with Nick Turturro, and listen now. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt Season 3 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous situation that destroyed two families. It started more than seven years ago when Cindy and Kenny were two 40-somethings who had just gotten engaged. Days later, they walked into a scorched-earth war they never saw coming. Turn around and place your hands behind your back. The cops gave it to my house and threw me in jail.

22:07And to Cindy's surprise, her fiancé Kenny was charged with abusing one of her children. I never once doubted Kenny, and I always doubted the accusation. On Season 3 of Burden of Guilt, you'll hear a story about the lengths someone will go to in order to get what they want. This case has got to be one of the most despicable. Listen to Season 3 of Burden of Guilt on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, fam? I'm sports journalist Ari Chambers. Hey, what's up, y 'all? It's your girl, Sam J. And we're the hosts of Everyone Watches Women's Sports, a new podcast from Together and I Heart Women's Sports.

22:51Because let's be real, women's sports is giving us way too much to talk about these days. So Kelsey Finler, she became the first female solo rower to go from California to Hawaii. My first thought is just like, what's up with the snacks? Like, what are we eating? The highlights, the rivalries, the breakout stars, the moments that take over your entire timeline. And the conversations that start during the game and somehow keep going all week. Every week, we're breaking down the biggest stories across women's sports. Naomi Osaka showing out. She beat Sabalenka. Shout out to you, Naomi. You get the palm, Naomi.

23:24You get the palm for that. Because we're not just interested in what happened. We're interested in why everyone's talking about it. Because everyone watches women's sports. Listen to everyone watches women's sports. on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

23:42Chad Johnson:He's going to be unstoppable, bro. I'm telling you. Unstoppable.

23:48Shannon Sharpe:He's eligible. Oh, Joe, Joe, he was eligible this offseason. But there's been no movement.

23:53Chad Johnson:You wouldn't do it. Why would you?

23:54Shannon Sharpe:They say we see. They say holla at us next year, bro. Why would you?

23:57Chad Johnson:You ain't show me that you was worthy of that. So, okay, come on here and show me something this season. And boy, we're back to Brink's truck up.

24:07Joe Johnson:Now he got to prove himself.

24:09Shannon Sharpe:He going to do that, bro. And the little bit of greatness that I had, I know what I did. I can imagine what a Tiger Woods, a Michael Jordan, a Serena Williams, a LeBron James, a Tom Brady, a Peyton Manning. I can just imagine. I can just imagine. a Denzel Washington, a Tom Hanks, a Samuel L. Jackson, a Viola Davis, a Meryl Streep. I can just imagine. There's an obsession. You're obsessed with this. It's hard when you have, name something that you achieve that you want less of. When you treat great, it's like, nah, I don't have enough. I don't want that no more. I'm cool with that.

25:04Shannon Sharpe:And it's so monotonous. It's so boring to be great. Because guess what? I'm doing the same Joe Johnson taking his ass in the gym and shooting 1 ,000 damn shots every single day. And no matter how he does it, I don't care if he gets somebody throwing the ball. I don't care if he go chasing his damn self. He's still shooting 1 ,000 boring ass shots. And Serena hitting that ball forehand, backhand, forehand, backhand, slice, ad court, fork, all that.

25:37Chad Johnson:Hey. Until you develop a routine, bro. Yeah. I'm talking about to stick to it. I ain't talking about do it on the days that you feel like it. I'm talking about on them damn days you don't feel like it. That's when you get. Okay, Ocho, I've been telling my son, man, since he was eight, nine years old. hey, bro, you got to develop a routine. Got to have a routine. You got to have something that you do on a day-to-day basis regardless of how the hell you feel. You got to get it done, bro. And if that's that, getting up shots, working on your handle, you trying to become a better player because there's too many guys out here who hungry, bro.

26:13Chad Johnson:Yeah. Yeah.

26:15Shannon Sharpe:When you realize that you're not the only one that have this dream, that's what you got to realize. I don't care what your dream is. somebody else got that same dream man, Ocho, I could have been a little kid and dreamed like, man I want to fly the damn space shuttle there are five other people that got that same damn dream want to fly the space shuttle man, stop dreaming my dream, damn it you wouldn't even thinking about no space shuttle until I started dreaming about it basketball, baseball whatever the case may be CEO, entrepreneur

26:52uh oh

26:54Shannon Sharpe:somebody what are you doing because the only thing the only thing that come to sleep is a dream you got to get up and make it work

27:03Joe Johnson:and that's the problem that's the difference though not too many people willing to put in the work to make those dreams come true a very small percentage and that small percentage is known as the 1 %

27:16Chad Johnson:because everybody wants a dream but they don't want to put their heart they don't want to put their grind in

27:20Shannon Sharpe:absolutely not

27:22Chad Johnson:and if the Bible teaches go ahead Joe if you want if you want the game to come easy I don't care what sports you playing hey man your workout regimen it's got to be harder than damn games

27:37yeah

27:40Shannon Sharpe:Bible tell us you can't enter the kingdom of heaven unless you die everybody wants to go to heaven don't nobody want to die everybody want to be successful everybody want to be wealthy ain't nobody to try to do no damn work. That's why the lottery. What does the lottery require? Go in there, drop$2, drop$3, drop$5 down. Boom, that's it. What if I told you if you work really, really hard? What if I told you you work really, really hard? You could have$200 million. You could have$300 million.

28:19Shannon Sharpe:Man, I ain't really trying to work. Do you know how many times people have told me I ain't trying to work that hard? I ain't trying to eat like that?

28:26Joe Johnson:Yeah, okay.

28:31Shannon Sharpe:I mean, you see when I was talking with my teammates, TD said, man, I was looking around. I said, okay, that's what greatness looked like. Then I found out what to do. I ain't really trying to be that great.

28:46Shannon Sharpe:It ain't that complicated. They right. I have my stuff stacked. I had my little chicken breast. I had rice. I had green beans. I had broccoli. That's all I had. And I had water. That's it. Don't come over my house and think you're going to eat tater chips and cookies and oatmeal pies. You're not. You're not. You're getting water. Man, this food bland. Okay. It works for me. Man, I picture myself, man, this steak, this ribeye. Man, these Rios. That's what I pictured in my mind.

29:26Shannon Sharpe:I wasn't going back to Glenville. That was not an option for me.

29:34Shannon Sharpe:Zion, boy, you got so much ability. You got so much God-given ability. But I love what – you know what I love? I love when athletes that have won, that have accomplished, or have been great, transcendent, historically great. Joe Dumars is a Hall of Famer. Joe Dumars as a finals MVP, knows what it takes to get there. I think he went to Magnet State. I think that's where Joe went. I don't even know. It ain't that complicated.

30:08Shannon Sharpe:You go to – if you play a professional sports and you go to the restaurant, Ocho and Joe, there are two things on the menu, wins and losses.

30:21Shannon Sharpe:that's all I serve it at my restaurant that's all I serve hot L's or fresh dubs you get a hot L or you get a fresh dub that's all I got for you that's it Bill Simmons thinks Kevin Durant goes into the Hall of Fame he'll be wearing a Supersonics jersey and why do you think that I think he do the Supersonics that's the move Yeah. It's like he loves Seattle. I would have loved playing there. But the honor of the Sonics, I'm going to be a Sonic. What you thinking, Joe?

30:59Chad Johnson:Do you think. Because of all the success that OKC has has has had.

31:10Chad Johnson:Do you think this plays a role in that?

31:17Shannon Sharpe:probably I mean he did go to three championships with the Warriors he won two there he didn't have the level of success a team success he enjoyed success as an individual in Brooklyn didn't have this level of success individual success he went to the All-Star game all the NBA selection at the Suns and now he's in Houston. Yeah, I think OKC, I think OKC are the Superstars. I don't see him going in as a warrior.

31:52Chad Johnson:No. No. Yeah. Yeah, no, he ain't going to go in as a warrior. But I think, you know, him being the number two pick, the number two pick that year behind Greg Oden.

32:04Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

32:05Chad Johnson:And Seattle really giving him an opportunity and really, really, really trusting him with the franchise. I think he really, you know, he has a special place in his heart for him.

32:18Shannon Sharpe:I can see that, Joe. I can definitely see that.

32:23But damn.

32:25Chad Johnson:To go in, to go to.

32:26Shannon Sharpe:Dang. It ain't like they got a whole lot of superstars. I mean, you know, Hall of Famers.

32:32Chad Johnson:Outside of Gary Payton, Sean Kemp.

32:35Shannon Sharpe:GP. Yeah, GP. But GP went into Hall of Fame. He was a superstar. on it. But what you call him? Ray Manning going in the hall. Is Gus Williams? Is the Wizard in the hall? I don't know. Dennis Johnson? But most people probably remember DJ from the Celtics.

33:00Shannon Sharpe:Wally Walker, Jack Sigma, Marvin Webster. Downtown Freddie Brown.

33:05Chad Johnson:Are they supposed to be bringing the Seattle? They supposed to be bringing the team back to Seattle?

33:09Shannon Sharpe:Mm-hmm. Yes. Yep.

33:18All right.

33:19Shannon Sharpe:It's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q and A.

33:35Shannon Sharpe:Vet underscore Tran 97. Would you guys agree? Rams, D.C., Chris Shula has the best job right now.

33:42Joe Johnson:Absolutely. What? As a matter of fact, not only the best job, think about how easy his job's going to be based on the personnel that he has. Secondary on point. You got Trent McDuffie leading the way. Yeah.

33:57Shannon Sharpe:You got Jalen Watson. You got Watson over there. Remember, they got both of the corners from Kansas City.

34:05Joe Johnson:Man. You got Miles Garrett. You got Aaron Donald who's trying to get himself back in the playing shape. And the only way to do that is to play football. So, man, he, Mr. Shuler is like a kid in the candy store.

34:20Chad Johnson:You hear me?

34:21Joe Johnson:All you got to do is just put your pieces in the right position.

34:26Shannon Sharpe:Texans ain't that bad job either.

34:29Joe Johnson:Oh, yeah.

34:33Shannon Sharpe:And what you call the Vic Fangio in Philly? You got a nice little setup also. how much input do y 'all think Brady will have with Mendoza's development

34:45Chad Johnson:I would think he would have you know quite a bit of say so Uncle Ocho considering the fact that hell he played come on man what are we talking about he played the position at the highest level so I'm sure it's something he can pass down to young fella man to help him you know with his early start so how can he not

35:08Joe Johnson:I know one thing. Tom having a voice that he has, his voice also with the experience that Tom had playing as long as he played and the success that he also had, he has to also remember that the situation Mendoza is in is a little different than when he got his opportunity to play.

35:29Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, he didn't have the expectations, but he still helped.

35:31Joe Johnson:too. And the supporting cast over there in Las Vegas is a little different than it was in New England. But again, that's why I'm glad he's going to have this season to sit out so they can continue to put those pieces around. I mean, those are offensively. It's going to be tough, man. It's going to be tough.

35:52Shannon Sharpe:And he didn't have a first-year head coach. Go ahead, Joe. I ain't saying nothing going on. I was going to say, Coach Belichick had been a coach before.

36:01Joe Johnson:for a long time.

36:02Shannon Sharpe:This is not his first rodeo. Yeah. I think the difference is is that when you're the first overall pick, there's a different level of expectation than when you're the 192nd pick. No, he was 199. He was 199. 199. I was 192. 199. I think that's a little bit different, Ojo. And the expectation. Nobody expected Tom Brady to come in and do what he did. For him to do that is an unbelievable feat. That's what I'm saying. You look at a guy like a Peyton Manning to come in and be the first overall pick and to have the level of success that he had. Drew Brees was a second-round pick.

36:55Shannon Sharpe:Man, the higher you pick, the greater the expectations are. In any sport, football, basketball, soccer, draft, whatever the case may be, Ocho. You know that, Joe. The higher you're selected, the more is expected of you. Absolutely right. It's like in the family, what do they expect? They expect more of the firstborn than anything, though. They put all that on their shoulders. All that on their shoulders. Yeah. It's just the way it is.

37:29Shannon Sharpe:Young Don Corleone TV. I think Jerry knows he won't be able to play everybody. He talks about his mortality. He's hoping to get a chip within the next two to three years. All in. Might as well. He can't take it with him.

37:43Joe Johnson:That is true.

37:45Shannon Sharpe:At least be on that stage one more time and have Roger Goodell hand that joke.

37:51Chad Johnson:If he can't do nothing else, you know he want to do that. On his dime, his watch. and, hey, hey, the way he talking out there every damn game. He want to be the catalyst, too. Yeah, y 'all already know how Jerry get down, man. It's our plan.

38:06Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

38:11Shannon Sharpe:Oh, okay. Nightcap fam. Start, cut, bench. Sade edition. Is it a crime? Your love is king. No ordinary love. No ordinary love.

38:25Chad Johnson:Oh, that's a good one.

38:26Shannon Sharpe:Your love is king. For me, I'm starting. Y 'all already know I'm starting.

38:31Chad Johnson:No ordinary love.

38:33Shannon Sharpe:It dies, it jumps, it ripples. Like the deepest ocean. I can't give you more than that. Surely you want me back.

38:54Shannon Sharpe:Is it a crime? I'm starting. Damn. No ordinary love. I'm a bench. I'm a cut. Your love is key.

There's only one person on the show crazy enough to get in the ring with every boxer, any boxer, and don't care who it is. Just because they ain't getting in the ring, what that mean? It mean I'm going to whoop your ass. That's what it mean.

50:46Chad Johnson:Ooh, boy, Don Nelson used to have some whip. I'm talking about he had a bunch of guys. He probably was the first one, Anka Ojo, to really come out with that small ball. He was playing guys who wasn't power forwards and centers. Hell, they were small forwards. You know, you got guys like Steven Jackson. You know what I mean? Like, he was playing them dudes at the 4 and 5 at that time.
