Guests
No named guests appear in the provided transcript. The show is hosted by Tony Ayo and Uncle Murda, with recurring co-host/segment voices (e.g., “Ocho,” “Joe,” “Unc”).
Guest backgrounds (as referenced)
“Ocho” is described as a wide receiver/football background voice; “Joe/Unc” are former pro athletes/analysts speaking from personal career experience.
Key claims
Police allege Arnold orchestrated an armed robbery and kidnapping after believing Airbnb property was stolen; two women were lured to an apartment, attacked by armed suspects, and the incident was allegedly live-streamed to Arnold via group chat directions. Arnold’s PR person “categorically denies” the allegations. The hosts argue Aiyuk’s social-media behavior could hurt perceptions and future team willingness to invest.
Notable examples
Arnold allegedly directed the attack while it was underway; victims forced into their vehicle then released. Aiyuk posts include “back on tour” tickets on the Commanders website and tossing money in his closet. Big 3 picks include Jordan Crawford over 17.5 points and Earl Clark over 18.5.

2:49Shannon Sharpe:Lions cornerback, Taron Arnold, is facing multiple felony charges after he was arrested in Tampa, Florida in connection with a robbery and kidnapping early in February. Police say Arnold reportedly orchestrated an armed robbery and kidnapping after believing several people had stolen property from an Airbnb he rented, even though investigators later determined the victims had nothing to do with the theft. According to police, two women allegedly lured the victim to a Tampa apartment where two armed suspects hiding in the closet jumped out, held them at gunpoint, beat them, and robbed them. Investigators say the attack was live-streamed to Arnold, who allegedly gave directions through a group chat before arriving at the apartment while the robbery was still underway.
3:38Shannon Sharpe:Hey, police say the victims later were forced into their own vehicle at gunpoint before being released. Hey, man, what? Hey, they took some from T.A.? But T.A. and I turned into John Gotti out there, huh? Oh, Joe, let's just say for the sake of argument, Joe, for this discussion, let's just say they had taken it. It's insured. Well, we're not sure if it's insured. Because if it wasn't sure, it should be stolen. If you got$250 ,000 worth of anything, Ocho, and it's not insured, if it's jewelry, if it's necklaces, watches, rings, automobiles, whatever the case is,
4:28Shannon Sharpe:that's a bigger problem. But let's just say for the sake of argument. Yeah, go ahead. You're in the NFL, guys. Joe, you're professional. See, this is the problem. Keeping it real. Stop keeping it real. You cannot keep it real anymore when you make millions of dollars. You work your entire life to get in this situation. Why do you need to keep it real? Listen.
5:03Chad Johnson:Some cats being disrespected and violated, bro. they don't know no other way. You know what I mean? I understand what you're saying, but some cats that's just a reaction. It's like, damn, hold on. Them folks on the stove for me. They disrespecting me. They done violated me to the utmost degree. Some cats, bro, they don't rationalize like that. You know what I mean? They think straight, hey, boom, let me make this play real quick because they got me bent. You feel me? The authorities say, Joe, Ocho, the authorities say
5:35Shannon Sharpe:the people that he tied up and beat didn't even do it. Hey, hey. You know what? Also, when it comes to NFL players, you know, I love T.A. man to death, and I'm, you know, upset at him. I'm disappointed at him for even putting himself in this situation. But if he doesn't have a level head, if there's something that got stolen from him, the people around him, his entourage, somebody got to be the brains. Somebody else has to be the brains. Because when the thought or the solution when the solution was to even think about doing this, whoever came with the master plan, that should be like, nah, we ain't doing that.
6:24Shannon Sharpe:Hell, that was him. Joe, this is how I'm thinking. If I got homeboys that are willing to do that, I got to let them go. Because it's only a matter of time. I ain't going to be able to control them. Because if they'll do that, they'll do that without being prompted by me. And if they're in my circle, who's getting charged? The people like that, they're around you. Joe, you're responsible for them. Ocho, you're responsible for them. Yeah. If somebody, I can't have somebody around me that'll do stuff. But to go get the strap and to rob somebody and to tie them up, If what's being reported is true.
7:03Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. They say this happened in February. So this was a long investigation. Remember, March, April, May. Here we are in late June. So basically four months. They've done their due diligence. But here's the thing, Ocho. Yeah. When you got the most to lose, you got to be the most logical. Because when they get pinched, I tell you what, of all those people, in that gambling incident, who did they walk out? They named a lot of names. Yeah. Who did they walk out? The ones we know. So when the rubber needs to meet the road, they don't want no... How many times have you ever seen somebody hold up a perch?
7:52Shannon Sharpe:A bluegill? A crappy? They hold up trophy fishes. So in this situation, who the trophy? T.A.? I just I hate that we make mistakes we put ourselves in a situation and like Lord I just hope for the sake of argument this isn't true through his PR person he categorically denies this and I hope this is a big misunderstanding Lord I hope this young man with so much promise in front of him I just I just I mean when did this Ocho a professional athlete order somebody to get tied allegedly order somebody to get tied up and robbed and they potentially live streamed it so he could see it and then he can't
8:51Chad Johnson:they don't tell me but one thing he young he ain't know no better bro. You know, I'm telling you, he looking at it from a standpoint that, man, I done put XYZ amount of money up in this Airbnb. You mean to tell me they done came and stole it? Oh, hell nah. Hell nah. He trying to get his stuff back. He wasn't trying to hear all that. It's crazy.
9:16Shannon Sharpe:That was a very similar situation. So OJ did the same thing out in Vegas. Remember? Allegedly, he was told that they had memorabilia of his and they were trying to sell it and he ran in there and and what happened they ran they told on him yeah the only difference is he happened to be he showed up with the food he up there they got him listening hey hey don't let him out of here hold it i just man i i i i hate this young man put himself in this situation if this is true i i really do guys bro get that stuff insured if you want to have look everybody wants to you know guys want to have nice chains ocho and jewelry yeah i've been there had my stuff you know and and and got it taken and you feel violated joe you know you joe you had the stuff to be broken into your house you feel violated you really do you really really do and i can but i was like man if i knew who did this i probably I want to do something bad to him.
10:21Shannon Sharpe:Man. Because, man, you work so hard. And when you come up like a lot of us came up not having and to work so hard to get something, and then somebody just come take it.
10:31Chad Johnson:Yeah. I'm telling you, bro. Hey, you really don't know how you'll react, especially if you do know who the people are who've done it. You really don't, bro. Real talk, man. I'm talking about, hey, man. I mean, that's violation to the worst degree, bro. Imagine you come home. I'm talking about every mattress in your house flipped over. You know, it's mattress in the hallway. You're like, what the hell? Is somebody refurnishing it? I'm talking about that type of break-in. Yeah, it's crazy, Joe. It's hard to sleep at night behind you.
11:08Shannon Sharpe:Hey, Joe, I came home and I looked, I was like, and I saw stuff. I was like, well, damn, was it an earthquake? I mean, but I was in the area. I would have felt an earthquake because earthquake did the same thing. Knock stuff over and stuff was broken. Yeah. And I'm like, and then I look, I was like, well, damn, where are my watches? Oh, damn. My heart just started beating fast. Yeah. Because at first, I didn't know. At first, I went upstairs. I got Titus. No. Was it Titus? Yeah, Titus. I had to because I had got Titus. I let him out. I got the little ones. I let them out. So I'm just letting them out.
11:50Shannon Sharpe:I'm not even thinking anything about it. Everything is normal downstairs because I had the little ones downstairs in the kennels. So I'm not thinking anything. Everything looks normal when I get in the house. I remember going up to my bedroom and I'm like, where all this glass come from?
12:14like man where my watch is i had a christopher backpack i was like well damn where my backpack
12:21Shannon Sharpe:so now i go back down to the truck because i'm thinking well maybe i left it in my trunk but i know i never leave it in the trunk because that's the last thing i want somebody to be able to just you know ease access to stuff so i was like you know if you think you lost something you're looking for stuff well you know you man where my watch let me look at the refrigerator Let me look at the oven. Man, you know damn well you ain't leaving no water, you ain't no damn refrigerator, no oven. Got you looking with your place, you know you ain't left your... Then it dawned on me, I've been robbed. Yeah.
12:53Shannon Sharpe:I was like, man, I've been robbed.
12:56Chad Johnson:Yeah.
12:57Shannon Sharpe:That's crazy. I'll try to call Shelly. I just called, I was like, call 911, 911, what is your emergency? I'm like ma 'am I'd like to report a break in

13:31Shannon Sharpe:man I waited man I waited like it took him like two hours because if it's not an injury, it's not an emergency. They don't deem a robbery as an emergency. So they're not, it's not like if, you know, is anybody injured or something like that? I started lying. I said, yeah, but then they end up getting me for lying. So I was like, nah, nobody's injured, man. I was like, man. And I just remember sitting on my bed, just looking at the glass on the floor. I was like, damn. That's one of the worst feelings in the world, man. It was. I said, oh, my watches, man. I said, man, 30 plus years gone. Damn.

18:04Shannon Sharpe:Mm-mm-mm. Oh, man. Lord have mercy. Ocho, why won't this man stop? This your guy. Brandon Ayuk posted a video announcing he's back on tour, and that ticket to come see him can be found on the Washington Commanders website. He also posted a video of him in his closet tossing a bunch of money on the ground. There's another reminder that the 49ers money he's made from them.
18:32Chad Johnson:What's going on, bro?
18:34Shannon Sharpe:This is Ocho. Ocho the wide receiver. He's our resident wide receiver. He can speak wide receiver. He's the wide receiver whisperer. Hey, Uncle, there's certain things. I was crazy when I played, but there's certain lines even I know not to cross. I understand I have respect for the game I have respect for obviously the organizations sometimes you don't always see eye to eye when it comes to the business side of things Uncle Joe but I mean BA is BA he's going the route he feels necessary something has happened to him that has him reacting like this Uncle Joe chat do I support it? no do I understand it?
19:18Yes in a sense because I don't know what's going on behind closed door that has him acting out the way he is I just understand the small window of opportunity that this game gives us I understand the small opportunity window Joe it's very small and it goes by really fast I just want to take advantage of that small window and maximize on as much money as he can and as much success on the field as he can. Because this game, they will move on without you. And leave you behind. And they won't mess a beat.
19:56Chad Johnson:Abel, man, listen. Y 'all know, bro. This type of behavior, man, it don't help us.
20:01Shannon Sharpe:It doesn't.
20:02Chad Johnson:It don't help us, man.

We're the only group of people that one individual, what one individual does reflect negatively on all of us. Ocho, you can be somewhere. And we see somebody of our color and they be acting up and our skin start to crawl. You're like, Lord, have mercy. Jesus Christ, why are we doing this, man? Damn, Lord. And it's like they hold that against us. They'll use that. Well, this is why we can't pay him because you see where Brandon and Iyuk did. You see what this guy did. You see, bro, other people act up and one person doesn't reflect negatively on an entire race.
20:53Shannon Sharpe:We're the only race that that happens to. I just, man, I just feel so, I just like, man, I mean, I was at the DMV in Atlanta, man. And, you know, I went in and I got the parking spot and this guy was about to pull in. and you see the guy, he got a thing on, he's just waiting for the person to pull out. The person backs out and pulls and the car shoots in. Oh, mercy. And the dude said, man, you know I was going to that spot. And dude was arguing back and forth and I was like, man, come on, let that go. Then his lady chided me in. He died down. Then his lady and I'm like... She emptied back up, huh?

If you don't go like that, I'll keep on walking. But if it's us, I'm trying to defuse it at all costs. Whatever it takes. That's just the way I am, because I know how negatively it impacts how it looks. I just, man, I was like, man.
23:27Shannon Sharpe:Man. Lord have mercy. Come on, Brad. Come on, B.A. Hey, you know what? You know, the one thing I don't, you know,
23:37Unc, you was good to the game. Joe, you was good to the game. And the game is going to always be good to you when you no longer playing. And the most important thing in life, always, this is for everybody in the chat, is the relationships you build along the way. Yep. You never want to burn no bridges because you never know when you got to cross that bridge again. Yep. You never know. I don't know, man. I don't have B.A.'s number personally because I would have been one to reach out to him. And there's other ways to go about this. Let's not do it that way.
24:20Shannon Sharpe:I'm a firm believer in that. I've always tried to treat people well because every coach that's on your team, they're not going to be on your team always. What if they go somewhere else? then that's an opportunity. Won't it? You see a lot of times coaches, when they get jobs, they'll always bring one or two players from the team that they came from.
24:42Chad Johnson:Yep.
24:45Shannon Sharpe:Hey, that could be me. That could be me. Hello. That's how I look at it. And I've had great relationships. Look, we already know that Mike Shanahan, they talk about the Sean McVay, but Sean McVay was on the staff with Kyle and Mike when he was in Washington. Raheem Morris was on that staff Mike McDaniel was on that staff go and look at all that staff they spread out through the league you never know
25:15Shannon Sharpe:the guy that runs the whole Broncos organization what they eat, when they eat obviously the coaches said where they going to stay Chip Conway Chip Conway started out in the mailroom in 1993 now he runs the entire Broncos hey Chip man I need a couple t-shirts Chip I need a helmet Chip I need some Bronco glasses first thing as soon as I call you see my name pop up Sharpie what you need
25:45I said Chip
25:46Shannon Sharpe:how you know I need something he said Sharpie you only call me when you need something what you need but it was always you know when it came Christmas time always tip the guys always gave a nice bonus. I mean, I end up giving with the video crew, the training staff, the equipment crew, the mail crew. I mean, I probably was given $15 ,000,$20 ,000 bonuses. Yeah. Wasn't making no money back then. Now he running the whole Bronco thing. Same thing with Flip. Flip there in the equipment room. Flip started out. Hey, hey, Flip, I need a Bronco helmet. Them new helmets they got. Hey, Flip, get your boy one.
26:32Shannon Sharpe:Put 84 on the back of it. No problem, Sharpe. Man, it's the same thing. Like, I don't know. I don't really know the equipment people now. Edo used to be the equipment guy that just bought the board. But when he was there, same thing, man. You got to treat. You don't know. just because you're here today that don't mean you're going to be here tomorrow
26:59Chad Johnson:you might be here
27:00Shannon Sharpe:and the person that was here when you was here and he was here and you treated him bad see you might need him one day
27:15Shannon Sharpe:that's just that's how I am like I said hopefully somebody can get to him Ocho and Joe put a bug in it and said, man, this is not the way to have a situation. I understand that you're not happy with the 49ers and you want to get out. Excuse me. But this is not the right way. No, sir. Because you know Ocho, hey, first of all, they already boarded the guaranteed, all the guaranteed money that he was going to get, that he was supposed to get moving forward. They boarded that.
27:45Chad Johnson:And look, and what I was telling you and Ocho, Man, if I'm another team, I mean, damn, do I want to deal with this, bro? Like, think about that. Like, I'm not sure if Iyuk is thinking about that, bro. Like, any team that's willing to invest in you, they probably going to be thinking like, damn, at some point, they probably going to be like that. What else?
28:11Shannon Sharpe:I don't know how y 'all think about this, but I don't care how fine a lady is. if you call the cop if i know that you call the cops on somebody you think i'm about to deal with you yeah i'm not what if you call the cop you get mad at him and call the cops what's gonna stop if you get mad at me doing the same thing i'm good not just me hey hey somebody like that was a license let it's not i'm not saying i'm saying obviously there are certain times that women because because y 'all know how y 'all like the twist thing let me let me clarify this there are times that women should call the cops. But there are times and situations that sometimes emotions get the best of you and you call the cops out of frustration and then you sit back and you analyze and you're like, man, I shouldn't have done that.
28:58Shannon Sharpe:I'm sorry. I put you in a bad spot. But it's too late. Somebody might lose their job. Somebody get cut. Somebody, you know, X, Y, and Z. There are times that the cops should be called. And I'm not saying women that if you feel like you've been threatened, but you make sure you understand the ramifications that comes along with action because every action there is a reaction. So let me just clarify that because I know social media, how y 'all just take everything and just take it out of context and just run with it. Because we have to be very specific now. We have to be – because a lot of people understand what I'm talking about, but there will be one or two that eclipse it and won't provide context to what I'm saying.
29:40Shannon Sharpe:I'm saying in a certain in certain situation that sometimes you just well he did X Y and Z and it wasn't that situation where he didn't come home late at night you mad or you find out he got a new girl
29:55Chad Johnson:yeah it's a foolishness like that obviously
29:58Shannon Sharpe:like I said that's the type of situation I'm saying that doesn't warrant the cops being called because you find out he's seeing somebody else or he went out of the country with somebody else or he sent somebody else some money. He bought somebody a car. That ain't a reason to call the cops. Now it's time to play or fade presented by prize pick.
30:27Shannon Sharpe:All right, Joe, we got Jordan Crawford guard for the riot, 17 and a half points, more or less than 17 and a half.
30:36Chad Johnson:I'm going to say more. Last week, y 'all know that the L.A. Ride played against the 305, the little brawl. They had to stop the game. So it was more so of a – obviously, L.A. Ride won, but they didn't finish the game. Jordan had – I think he had like 12 or 13 points in, but the score was like 39-31. Anyway, Jordan Crawford's one of the best scorers in the big three, bro. He going to get that 17. He going to get 18 for sure. All right.
31:06Shannon Sharpe:Michael Beasley, 23 and a half points, more or less than 23 and a half. Dang.
31:13Chad Johnson:Oh, they playing us, the Detroit Amps. 23 and a half. If Beasley don't have that, there's no way they can win because Lance is not going to be playing. Lance got suspended. He suspended this week. Beasley suspended next week. So, uh... 23 and a half.
31:44Chad Johnson:Nah, Bees ain't getting that.
31:45Shannon Sharpe:Okay.
31:49Shannon Sharpe:LeCircourt from the Amps, your squad, more or less than 15 and a half points.
31:56Chad Johnson:He's going to have to score more. I'm going to get more. We need Nas to score the ball more. Him and Brewer, they're really our guys who are really going to score the ball. Green is a great scorer as well but Nas has the score in order for us to win so hey Nas if you're paying attention partner I need you to tap in and lock in partner
32:19Shannon Sharpe:Earl Clark of Trilogy more or less than 18 and a half points
32:25Chad Johnson:yeah I say more Earl is Earl is their guy that's their go-to guy a guy who's been playing in the big three for quite some time putting up great numbers He a low boy. He can score that basketball. So I expect him to, yeah, 18 or more, 19. So really got to get 19 points. Yeah, I'll say more. I'll say he'll get that on.

37:05Shannon Sharpe:Time to play. It's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q and A.
37:17What you doing that for, Ocho? Huh? What you doing that for? I'm working on my shot for the Big 3 Celebrity Game.
37:26Shannon Sharpe:Before we get to our super chat, we got three video voicemail from our Discord. Let's take a listen to the first one. Oh, Ocho, Aiso, what's up with y 'all fellas, man? This message here is from Ocho. See? Now that's how you answer to the critics. that's how you answer to the critics man the goat the goat shout out garrett bell too yeah yeah yes sir hey hey hey hey uncle joe boy i've been fighting for my life man on all social platforms i'm talking about that killer listen i got a whole new fan base they didn't follow me and all, man, especially a lot of people from Argentina. With all the respect, I made friends with one today.
38:19Actually, he's the last person I followed on X. He's a huge Messi fan. He got like 400 ,000 followers. Just debating, going back and forth and understanding obviously how great both players are. Obviously, Messi is great in his own right, as is Cristiano. Now, one of the players is still able to dictate games. He's able to control games. And Crishano's not in a place where he has the skill set or the ability to do so like he used to when he was younger. So obviously Messi is at an extreme advantage based on his size, his skill set, and what he can do. But, man, both those dudes are just – let me listen.
39:03It's awesome. It's LeBron Jordan. It's all preference.
39:08Shannon Sharpe:Right, right. Here's our second one. Let's take a listen. Unk, Ocho, Iso, quick question for y 'all. At what point in y 'all careers did y 'all know it was time to get off the court and hang up the cleats? Like, what exact moment made y 'all think, like, damn, it's really time for me to retire?
39:27Chad Johnson:But as always, love the show. Keep up the good work. I ain't had no choice. I mean, the whole world know my story, so. Why you laughing? Shit.
39:41Shannon Sharpe:Well, you go play to the wheels fall up. You laugh too much. They would have to tell you not to come back. No, I was going to play one more year, but when CBS came with that deal that was going to pay me the equivalent money that I was making in the NFL and I wasn't going to have to get hit anymore. And then I just, you know what, guys? I just realized. I see me going to another Pro Bowl, me having another 50 catch season, another 10 touchdown season, that wasn't going to change people's perception of me. And once you realize that playing another year doesn't change the perception of what people think of you, some people are going to like you, some people wasn't going to like you.
40:18Shannon Sharpe:And it was just easy for me to go, especially because I had, you know, I had, you know, like, given it my all. Yeah. But as long as I can remember, I've always wanted to play football. and when I went to interview for the job at CBS it was the first time I thought about doing something else other than playing football yeah I got to go it's really that simple for me guys it's really that simple yeah
40:49Chad Johnson:for me it was probably when you know like because in basketball you have back to back you can play four games in five nights and on them back to backs I'm talking about when I'm talking about horrible Okay, Ocho. Ooh, I will. Ooh, I will. I will. Them damn back-to-backs, I couldn't give you nothing, bro. I'm talking about it was hard just even getting up and down the damn court. The knees hurting. The knees and hips and back hurt that joke. And I'm saying it will hurt you, boy. On the back-to-back? Okay, Ocho, I ain't going to lie. I was so bad on the back-to-backs at the end of my career, bro.
41:24Chad Johnson:That's when I knew. Because it's like I could have a decent game, but it'll take me four, five days just to recover from that decent game to have another decent game. To have another damn decent game. That's true, Joe.
41:38Shannon Sharpe:Because as you get older, it gets harder and harder to put those games back together. That's what Ocho and I, we talked about. That's the thing. You can have a game. But where you should have a game, oh, I give you 100, give you 95, give you 80, give you 115, give you 75, 60, 125. Now I give you 100. Now there's going to be some 30s in there, some 40s. It'll be a long time before you get another 100 out of your boy.
42:06Chad Johnson:Hey, Pags, no lie. I swear. Because for me, that was it, bro. It was like, damn, it was nice. I was like, damn, I feel good tonight, and I have a good game. I'm talking about the next few nights? I'm talking about I can't even get out the damn first block. I'm like, damn.
42:24Shannon Sharpe:Let's dig and listen to our third one.
42:27Chad Johnson:What up, Nightcap fam? Got a question for y 'all. I had just got done watching the 30-30 about the Lakers and Celtics, and they got a question. How do you think – who had the worst Finals blunder, Magic Johnson in 84 or LeBron in 2011? He said had the worst blunder.
42:49Shannon Sharpe:But see, Magic just had that – Magic – and you got to realize, Magic was a two-time Finals MVP. And what happened was it was late in the ballgame. It was a tie ballgame. and he dribbled out the clock and didn't get a shot off. It was almost like a J.R. Smith situation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They called him Tragic Johnson. Mind you now, he's a two-time finals MVP. He had never lost the finals. Well, he had lost the year before. Because think about it. They went in 80. The Celtics went in 81. They went in 82. They got swept by the Sixers in 83. so they're back again so think about it Magic Johnson first, 80 he's in the finals 82 he's in the finals 83 he's in the finals, 84 he's in the finals 85 he's in the finals so five of his first six years Magic's in the finals they got swept in 83 84 he dribbles out the clock they lose that one they call him tragic fast forward the next year 85 they get blown out 148-114 they call it the Memorial Day Massacre so now there's a potential Kareem looked old and slow Kareem bounces back has a monster game gives Parrish the business Kareem goes on to win finals MVP at 38 the oldest guy to ever win the finals MVP LeBron played bad that series it wasn't a blunder he just had a bad series Magic had that bad moment that they didn't recover from so overall I think it was LeBron for the simple fact 2011 against the Mavericks he was bad ain't no way around it he my guy that's my goal but he was awful.
44:57Yeah.
45:00Chad Johnson:I just, I thought in 2011, D-Wade was so assertive in their final series, Uncle Ocho, you know what I mean? That's why after that season, after that finals, D-Wade was like, look, I'm giving the keys to you. You know what I mean? Because I thought D-Wade was ultra-aggressive in their finals. He was like, damn, LeBron, I'm going out. I'm going to win another MVP. You know what I mean? If we do win, that's how it seems. So I agree with you. I think Bron didn't want to – I don't want to say not step on his toes, but he wasn't aggressive. You know, the Mavs had a great game plan, but he took a great lesson from that, bro.
45:42Chad Johnson:He took a great lesson from that. They bounced back from that.
45:45Shannon Sharpe:And that was the problem is that, guess what, Joe? Back then, if you remember the next year, what did he do? he went down that summer and he worked with Dream developed that post because he wouldn't play in the post that's why J.J. Barea, that's why Jason Terry could guard him, just play off him make him shoot, we'll live with that he didn't have the post game he goes, he gets with Kareem, he develops the post now he's getting people that work
46:19Shannon Sharpe:it's good, you know, sometimes it's a blessing and the curse to be about 58 years old because I remember all of that. And actually, I had Magic. And I asked him out there, he's like, Brad, he's like, Sean, man, it was tough. He's like, I'm a two-time finals MVP. Yeah. And they called me tragic. Not Magic Johnson, tragic Johnson.
46:41Chad Johnson:Yeah.
46:42Shannon Sharpe:People don't realize. You do realize Magic didn't win. He didn't win rookie of the year. Bird did. Bird was rookie of the year. even though Magic led the team and won the finals MVP. If I'm not mistaken, I think it was a 33-3 vote. Bird got 33 votes. Magic got 3.
47:01Chad Johnson:I wonder what the numbers was. I know Bird was probably... Bird was unbelievable. His rookie year? What?
47:08Shannon Sharpe:You got to realize though... I think Bird and them, they increased like 30-something games. Let me see. Bird numbers, I mean, he was like a double-double.
47:27Shannon Sharpe:As a matter of fact, if I'm not mistaken, Bird might have finished second.
47:31Chad Johnson:Yeah, yeah, he was. He was. He averaged 21 and 10.
47:35Shannon Sharpe:I think Bird might have finished second or third in the MVP vote that year. Look, Kareem won it. Kareem was MVP of the league. But I think Bird might have been second or third. Because Bird's first five, six years in the league, I don't think he finished out of the top three for MVP. Because 84, 85, 86, he won a consecutive. He's the last guy to win three consecutive MVPs. I think he finished second or third, Joe.
48:06Chad Johnson:Damn.
48:07Shannon Sharpe:Ash, look that up right quick. Bird's rookie year.
48:14Chad Johnson:That boy wasn't playing.
48:15Shannon Sharpe:Bird was a bad boy. That was my guy. I was a Bird guy. Birds. Man, I had posters. I had t-shirts with lag birds sitting in the nest. When they played the Rockets, birds fly higher than Rockets. Because in 81, they beat Moses Malone and Robert Reed now. And then in 86, it was Elijah Juan and Ralph Sampson that they beat. Oh, birds.
48:51Shannon Sharpe:The winner was Kareem, 147 votes. Second place was Dr. J. Third place, George Gervin. Larry Bird finished fourth in the MVP voting as a rookie. Damn. As a rookie. You got to be a bad boy.
49:10Yep.
49:11Shannon Sharpe:Ice man. Dr. Frank F. Bellamy says, happy early birthday, Unc. Hope you enjoy your day tomorrow. Thank you, Doc. I'm going to enjoy. There you go. I can't enjoy my birthday, Joe. Now I'm saying you rub your hands together like birds, man. I'm going to enjoy my day. Lord bless me to open my eyes, put my feet on the ground. Great day to be alive.
49:36Chad Johnson:Oh, man. Come on.
49:39Shannon Sharpe:I wasn't calling. Come on, Joe. I can't make it more than what it is. what you know is the takeover
49:55Shannon Sharpe:happy birthday love the birthday shout out now let's fix the scouting report Cartier is a 49ers fan 9ers by 5 okay appreciate that man appreciate that
50:11Shannon Sharpe:his son taking his son to the Atlanta to remember the Atlanta 49ers game. He's a 49ers fan. I think the Timberwolves got worse with that trade. Got worse. I think the thing is, Mello's going to have to change his game. I mean, Joe, he just can't come jacking down. You got to realize now, and the expectations are going to be a lot different in Minnesota than they were in Charlotte.
50:33Chad Johnson:Charlotte, yeah. Hey, I understand that, but I do think timing is everything, too. I think the timing is right for Mello in his career for this change to happen. I think he's a more mature player. I think he'll be an even better player. I think him and Anthony Edwards will complement one another. The problem is because you gave up two of your best bigs, one which was a stretch four, and one was more of a power ISO guy, you got to find something to feel. You got to feel that void. You know what I mean? You got to feel that void, whether it's coming off the bench or not. You have to feel that void.
51:13Chad Johnson:So outside of that, I think they're going to be heavily perimeter oriented, which I don't have a problem with that. That's today's game, you know, knowing and understanding that. But I think those guys are really going to take some pressure off one another. But you're right. I think with him being a pass first point guard who can score the ball, who has a lot of pizzazz to his game, I think he's only going to help. I think he knows and understands the opportunity that he has. And I think he's going to maximize it.
51:40Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, thank you for taking a picture with my lady today. I guess in Soho or SoFi? But anyway, she's beautiful, ain't she? Yeah, Soho, right here in New York, where I was doing the DraftKings stuff for the game.
51:53Chad Johnson:Okay. Oh, yeah, Ocho ain't like that. He don't be looking at people's girls. He don't do that. I don't be paying no attention. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I got them shades on, boy. I got them shades on.
52:09Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all think LaMelo trade makes job market go up? and do you think Hornets go after him? How does this play out?
52:21Chad Johnson:I really don't know about the Josh situation. I mean, from reports, it sounds like he doesn't have a lot of value. Hey, Joe, that hurt me so bad, man. When they broke it down, why he doesn't have the value. and then they're showing the graphic on his numbers and how everything continues to decline year in and year out I'm like you see
52:51Shannon Sharpe:he's a paint guy I mean yeah he developed and worked on his shot and the three point shot did get a little better Joe but he ain't got no midi and he's not in the paint as much as he once was
53:04Chad Johnson:nah and hopefully and hopefully Josh sees this, meaning like the reports about him and he's able to, you know, prove people wrong, bro, get back to who he used to be. But that, you know, with this being a point guard driven league now, man, your point guard got to be able to shoot on that Ojo. And I just think his three-point percentage has kind of plummeted over the years and it's got to get better because if his three-point percentage gets better, that'll open up the rest of his game. So hopefully he working. I'm going under everything. Yeah, yeah. All day long. Yeah, twice on Sunday.
53:42Shannon Sharpe:Your Unk Ojo ISO is 12 a.m. About to start the celebration. I turned 40 today. And I'd also like to give a shout out to Unk since it's his birthday also. Thank you, bro. I appreciate that. You know, boy. Yeah. Be the big three eight.
54:02Shannon Sharpe:What's that, Cap Crew? Happy birthday, Unk. I'm also celebrating my birthday turning 24. Ocho, I'm going to FanFest in Miami for the Portugal game with the fam. Pull up. Love the show, fella. Luis. Yeah, FanFest is going to be nice. I'm hosting something at Bayside. I'm not sure if it's part of the FanFest, but I'm hosting something at Bayside early in the day before the game start. Start, bench, cut. Zeke, Todd Gurley, Le 'Veon Bell.
54:30Chad Johnson:Ooh.
54:31Shannon Sharpe:I'm starting Todd Gurley. I'm benching Zeke. And I got to let Le 'Veon go. I'm sorry.
54:44Chad Johnson:Damn.
54:45Shannon Sharpe:As patient as Le 'Veon is back then? Y 'all, but you look at Todd Gurley's numbers. Man, Todd Gurley had like 70-plus touchdowns in like five years. Yeah.
54:58Chad Johnson:You're right. You're right. But I love how Le 'Veon – hey, look, you hand that ball to Le 'Veon. It's like he walking back there. He's like he take a couple – next thing you don't – You know what, Joe?
55:08Shannon Sharpe:Patient, boy. But when he went – man, he stepped off a cliff when he went to the Jets. I mean, he was non-existent. Yeah, everybody done stepped off a cliff when they – It really is, bro. Stepped off a cliff, Joe. Well, who you taking, Joe? Who you taking, Ocho? Give me the three again. Zeke, Todd Gurley, Le 'Veon. Oof.
55:38Shannon Sharpe:I don't think people, because Todd Gurley's career was so short, I don't think people realized how good he was. Yeah, yeah, they don't understand. So based on longevity, I got. Rookie of the year, offensive player of the year.

1:02:09Chad Johnson:Ooh, Le 'Veon?
1:02:13Shannon Sharpe:Todd Gurley played six years, had 80.
1:02:21Shannon Sharpe:I got to say, man, people don't realize how good Todd Gurley was, man.
1:02:29Shannon Sharpe:he was nice he was sensational how many years Zeke played Zeke played nine years
1:02:49Shannon Sharpe:had 74 touchdowns Todd Gurley played six years had 80
1:03:00Shannon Sharpe:I'd be thinking about it. That man played 10 years on show. That man gonna have a hundred touchdowns. He's averaging, he's basically averaging 13 touchdowns a season.
1:03:13I, so help me out.
1:03:16Shannon Sharpe:If a player averages 25 points a game on 45 % shooting, 37 % from the three other player average, 22 points a game on 50 % field goal shooting, 40 % for three, who's the better score? Who's average more points on the one who's more efficient? Who's the better average more points or the one that's better efficient? So 25 points on 45 % shooting and 35 % three, or 22 points on 50 % field goal shooting and 40 % three?
1:03:47Chad Johnson:That's 22. On 50 %? Come on, man. Them percentages don't lie, bro.
1:04:04Shannon Sharpe:What's up, Nightcap fam? Happy birthday, Unc. Today is my sixth year anniversary with my loving and beautiful wife. Can you please give my wife, Kiara, a special shout-out for redefining gravity and letting this fall last forever with me? Sparks, LePortier equals demon time absolutely Kiara, Hubby want to give you a shout out you guys have been married for 6 years and he said you know what only great things have happened in his life since he met you and I want to congratulate you and the entire team at NICAP, one of which you guys a happy 6th anniversary wedding anniversary and continue, continue this happiness still can't believe Ocho spent 17 hours in Atlanta and ISO can't even do ish and ain't even give my boy his address all that trash talking.
1:04:58Shannon Sharpe:Boy, please. Ocho went in Atlanta 17 hours. Hey, Joe, how long I was there, Joe? I wasn't even there 24 hours. I was there short.
1:05:11Chad Johnson:I don't know, but the Porsche light been on for four months. I sure ain't seen that address.
1:05:16Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Big three, my name is Javier. I wanted to tell you guys these past two years, you guys have really helped me since my mom passed from cancer at 62 years age. Sorry, man. Sorry to hear it for you. Sorry for your loss. You guys have made me laugh and have mentally helped me. So thank you so much. No, thank you, Javier. Thank you for supporting us. Sorry to hear about the passing of your mom at 62 years young, but we greatly, greatly appreciate your support. It's things like that that make this worthwhile because we get a lot of this. sometimes people are going through things and they say, you know, listen to the nightcap with Ocho, myself, and Joe, that it gives them, you know, something to smile about, something to laugh about and take their minds off of things that are going on in their life that's kind of hard to deal with.
1:06:01Shannon Sharpe:So we greatly appreciate that. Yes, sir. Yeah. All right, so what's Clyde's responsibility as the Big Three Commish and who's winning a chess match between y 'all?
1:06:14Chad Johnson:Clyde responsibility is to you know make sure the big three is ran smoothly bro keep these guys in check you know what I'm saying when you know when guys get out of line like it did that first week the first guy who they probably gonna see and hear from is Clyde he gonna be back there he gonna be back there talking crap too hey shut y 'all yeah yeah that's how it go hey this thing here let me tell y 'all something I love the big three I love playing in the big three, and I enjoy how it's ran. But, yeah, it's ran with an iron fist, bro. Clyde going to be the first one. He going to talk to you like you're somebody out the street, too.
1:06:50Chad Johnson:Hey, man. Hey, man, y 'all need to go on. Yeah, yeah.
1:06:53Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, that's Clyde.
1:06:58Shannon Sharpe:We're going to need to make a T-shirt for ISO that says, that don't make y 'all no bad brother.
1:07:06Shannon Sharpe:It don't. We already know, though. Oh, Joe, soccer has so much flopping, it's hard to enjoy. Every player looking like Ricky getting in the boys in the hood. All right, so welcome to Free Cap number one podcast, hands down. Hey, listen, it looked like flopping, but you wouldn't understand unless you're right there. Getting kicked, getting stepped on. You know, sometimes them boys, they be hurt for real. Other times, I call it a tactical timeout, Joe. You know them boys don't got no timeouts.
1:07:38Chad Johnson:yeah they get a little break I call it a tactical time out let everybody get some rest also slow down the momentum
1:07:48Shannon Sharpe:slow down the momentum and rhythm in the game the question we all should be asking we all should be asking he should be asking himself is why is JB always on the trading block I think dude is toxic in the locker room I don't know this is what I do know is that the Celtics do not value Jalen Brown like they value Jason Tatum. We can come up with speculation, conjecture, and innuendo because this is what we do know that has been factual. Jason Tatum name has never come up in a trade discussion. Every year, multiple times, some years, Jalen Brown name has come up in a trade discussion.
1:08:33Yeah.
1:08:36Shannon Sharpe:it's really that simple right and i don't know why he's upset at us for covering it or us for talking about it when his organization has put it out there
1:08:49Shannon Sharpe:and remember he was in the trade for yannis but they jimmy haslam said so it had to be true because jimmy haslam said he just felt that it might be a situation where he might be unhappy in a year and we're right back in a situation we find ourselves in now. Now, he could have just been making it up, but I don't know why he wouldn't make it up. They had the scenarios. They said it's between two teams, Giannis Gordon, Boston and Miami. Now you hear reports being reported that Boston is still looking to find a potential trade partner for Jalen Brown. That's not us. We're not making that up.
1:09:27Chad Johnson:Right.
1:09:31Shannon Sharpe:more times and it says well espn was talking about you know i put my house on the market did you it'd be the same thing let's just say for the sake of argument if miles garrett had put his condo or his house on the market you don't think that would have been new you don't think we'd talked about that yo yes sir don't you think we talked about that yeah when lebron was a click They talked about, well, LeBron was looking for a house in Philly. LeBron was looking for a house in L.A. It's going to be news, bro. You a top player in the NBA.
1:10:09Shannon Sharpe:It is what it is. Ocho305 represented that versus with Pretty Ricky putting BTA to B2K.
1:10:18Chad Johnson:Yeah, I watched a little bit of that. Who won, Dan? It was good. I don't know who won. I watched a little bit of like the start of it. I'm trying to watch the versus B2K and Pretty Ricky. And I'm trying to watch soccer. I can't keep up with all of it. Come on, man.
1:10:38Shannon Sharpe:Happy birthday, Unk. What's your guy's favorite birthday memory? Well, I don't even celebrate my birthday. I'm the wrong one to ask. I don't celebrate mine either. Hey, I say a prayer at 1159 Uncle Joe, and I'm good. I tell my kids, don't ask me to go nowhere. Bring me a cigar. Bring me some coffee, and I'm good.
1:11:01Chad Johnson:Yeah, I'm normally pretty chill. I mean, outside of probably my 25th birthday, like I told you, I had a... Who was that? Jagged Edge came and performed at my 25th birthday. Ooh, Jagged Edge, boy, you got money, Joe. Yeah, back up, baby. They came to Little Rock and tore it down, boy. Hey, hey, hey, ain't gonna lie. It was nice. It was nice.
1:11:21Shannon Sharpe:I don't really celebrate, but I'm hoping somebody go do the meek, meek, meek. Oh, oh.
1:11:31Shannon Sharpe:Let me stop, man. Ain't doing nothing. Ain't doing nothing. Yeah, yeah.
1:11:39Shannon Sharpe:Big three salute. We'll smell them again. Unk, Nick's won the chip, so that means the Cowboys can win it all as well. Let that sink in. Tolerance equal production.
1:11:50Chad Johnson:Hey, look, I know y 'all don't want to hear that. I know you, Ocho, y 'all don't want to hear that. But keep it real. If that happened, boy, to change the landscape of the NFL.
1:11:59Shannon Sharpe:No, you want to change the landscape of nightcap, you want to come over here and go. That's what he want to do, Joe, Ocho. Now, he think he's slick.
1:12:07Chad Johnson:Hold on, hold on. If Ocho could get lucky in basketball, you mean to tell me I can't man believe. Let's go. Hold on. Got lucky. So I've been lucky all season long?
1:12:20Shannon Sharpe:What you talking about? First of all, Jim Dolan got out the way. Is Jerry Jones going to get out the way? Nope. Maybe. Never know. Never know. Ocho, Norway and France play on Friday. Who do you got winning and how do you think France will defend Holland? You know what? France's back line is so good. they're going to have to be on point. They're physical. They're strong. They can match Holland strength for strength. Face for face. How is Norway going to stop? How are they going to deal with Mbappe and Dwey and Dembele and Barcola when he comes on? That's, man. Joe, you seen France play yet? No, I ain't seen them play.
1:13:12You seen France play yet? I see a little bit of them, yeah. They're good. Watch France play, Joe.
1:13:18Chad Johnson:Okay, I'm going to check it out. Watch the difference. I love USA. I love us. But watch the difference in skill and technique and quality of the players at every position when you watch friends play. Joe, it's almost unfair. Is that big of a difference? Joe, it's almost unfair.
1:13:38Shannon Sharpe:We need to get some of their players to defect to the USA. I'm saying it in a respectful way. every position them boys like that you know how a track and field like a lot of these countries they'll go get the Kenyans runners or they try to get the Chinese table tennis players to come and you know we go get y 'all to just come on over here we do do some of them soccer players like that I don't know why the champ want to act like y 'all playing sides on certain issues y 'all just call it like y 'all see it ain't nothing wrong with that but it's their favorite guys see people get back oh y 'all don't like AJB no get mad at the Celtics they put his ass on the trade block not us our job is to talk about it right don't get mad because we're talking about a situation via AB or Brandon IU is their behavior we're discussing their behavior yeah I don't know what y 'all don't if we talk about something we shouldn't talk about it if we don't y 'all ain't talk about this if we don't talk about something Ocho and Joe then you get mad about that so I don't really know what y 'all want us to do.
1:14:41Shannon Sharpe:You ain't talking about this. You ain't talking about that. Man, I don't care about nobody, no extramarital affair. That ain't got nothing to do with nothing. Yeah. We don't talk about no extramarital affairs on here. I mean, we might pull up something with somebody having a conversation where the lady wouldn't let her kid go to Disney because the parent wouldn't take all the other kids. Or the lady threw the food out. Because we're having a conversation like, you didn't bring food for the other four kids that's not yours, so I'm not going to let your child eat this burger because you could have brought food for everybody.
1:15:19Shannon Sharpe:We would discuss stuff like that. But an extramarital affair, that ain't good. Man, please. Happy 58th birthday, Up. 58 feeling great. If she ain't 280, you can't participate. Nah, bro. You know, okay, what he used to be. What? What you mean? Hey, I had to, you know, hey, I got, if you're too eight, I got to put you on that zip. I got to get, I got to put you on that zip.

1:16:10Shannon Sharpe:I ain't as much a man as I used to be, but you know. Well, I sure looking forward to this old birthday. What's up, Big 3? Ocho, I'm just getting into soccer. Can you speak on how good Ronaldinho was and why he isn't mentioned more in the GOAT conversation? I mean, Ronaldinho's career was short. His peak was the highest of all peaks, but it was really short but he was a magician on the ball man he was a magician he parties up he was a party party party party guy you know go to the club come come out leave the club eight in the morning go to practice train damn joe he was unbelievable joe basically the best way i could describe it in in basketball terms is kairi with his handles it's rogerino with the ball at his feet a little bit more flair or he played with a smile he did things that were just i just remember that tail hanging down joe joe yeah man like joe is just if you get a chance joe just google ronaldinho highlights ronaldinho's highlights just watch what he do with the ball at his feet it's it's it's stupid stupid stupid stupid he does the kind of stuff you do in practice you didn't get away with it in practice and mess up it's okay it's crazy thank you guys for joining us as the USA closed out group play with a loss to Turkey 3-2 Turkey scores a late goal at extra time and they but the USA advance to the round of 32 they play Bosnia Bosnia and Herzegovina in the round of 32 with a chance to advance to the round of 16.
