12:44Shannon Sharpe:what's the Charlotte oh you going for that soccer thing the TST tournament yeah Braun would be the perfect fit on the Knicks especially if they got Giannis god dang bro

12:56Chad Johnson:we ain't playing NBA 2K they say the Knicks yeah Braun and Giannis come on man damn

13:07Shannon Sharpe:the Knicks are winning the title get over it My condolences to LaFra James and the Fakers, but best better luck next lifetime. Knicks in four. Okay, East Coast, Kev. They got a good chance, though. They got a good chance. I ain't saying they going to win it. I think they got a better chance if they play the Spurs. They not beating OKC.

13:30Chad Johnson:Yeah, man. Hold on. You think they got a better chance if they play the Spurs? Yeah. I don't know. Yes.

13:39Shannon Sharpe:you think they got a better chance to beat the Thunder?

13:42Chad Johnson:nah I think it's going to be hard to beat any one of them I do

13:46Shannon Sharpe:but I'm saying I think they got a better chance I ain't say nothing about winning yeah okay

13:53Chad Johnson:I just it didn't win be

14:00Shannon Sharpe:why are we surprised the Cavs don't have any perimeter defenders we're not

14:06Chad Johnson:we're really not

14:08Shannon Sharpe:Because they hadn't had any all year. And they've been able to get by. And the problem is that once you get to the playoffs, whatever your weakness, it gets exposed to the umpteenth degree. Yep. So you go back and look at the teams that have lost, you can go back and say, okay, this is why they lost. This was an issue in the regular season, but they were able to overcome it. Teams don't let you overcome your flaws in the postseason.

14:32Chad Johnson:Nah, the playoffs is built to expose you. Whatever your weaknesses are, we're going to expose them damn weaknesses. And y 'all can't guard? Guess what? We coming at you every play.

14:45Shannon Sharpe:Bing, bong. Brunson, best guard in the East.

14:50Chad Johnson:Yeah, he the only one left. Hands down. Right now, he the best guard in the East for sure.

14:58Shannon Sharpe:Hate Detroit. Couldn't get it done. Felt like they were a better matchup for New York. and if Harden can't win with Mitchell, who can he win with at this point? Is it really worth$40 million a year? Sad game.

15:10Chad Johnson:Well, I mean, what is it? He going to get it somewhere, huh, Joe? Yeah, I don't see – with Cleveland giving up Dears Garland, you can't give up James Harden. You can't let him walk. You got to resign him. You got to bring him back. Yeah, you got to bring him back because if that's the case, then you let Garland go for nothing.

15:27Shannon Sharpe:Right. You're right. I don't know because he had a Chris Paul, and when Chris Paul hurt his hamstring against OKC, excuse me, against the Warriors. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he had Russ. He had Dwight Howard. I just – it just – it gets hard. Excuse me. It gets harder as you get older to win a championship.

15:53Chad Johnson:And, man, listen.

15:54Shannon Sharpe:It just does.

15:54Chad Johnson:And all the great – And he needs the – Joe, he needs the ball. Yeah, yeah. And I think what we have to understand from a fan's perspective, bro, all the great ones, they not going to win a title, bro. That's just part of it. No. Everybody ain't going to win no damn championship.

16:11Shannon Sharpe:And they shouldn't. Because if every great player won a championship, what's the value of a championship?

16:18Chad Johnson:Yeah.

16:23Shannon Sharpe:You know, sometimes the ugly dude got to get the pretty girl too. Yeah. Somebody got to get taken to the dance.

16:35Shannon Sharpe:Damn. Y 'all just want all the great players.

16:43Shannon Sharpe:Somebody got to take the ugly person to the dance.

16:45Chad Johnson:Right, right.

16:46Shannon Sharpe:It is what it is. Ocho needs to write a Kama Sutra book. For all the advice he gives out, he's right about one thing. Looks like the Knicks are going to win it. that Laporte is fire, try some, and still appreciate that feel to make nasty. Yeah. Yeah. Man, Ocho out there giving false information, got people out there getting popped, and he ain't doing none of that.

37:40Chad Johnson:Oh, you want Joe fresh? Yeah, I done got acclimated to what it's like. Now I'm good. Hey, listen, I'm built for the BS now. You know what I mean? Yeah, like, you know, we can have a nice finesse game, but if it turn into, you know, some physicality and, you know. You ready for that too, huh, Joe? I'm built for that. I'm built for that. But I finessed the hell out of you now. Hey, you gotta understand, you know, I come from a game where it's built on physicality. So, I mean, that's why I'm doing it.

38:14Shannon Sharpe:You know what, Ash do got a new truck. Why are they all talking? Ash got a new truck, I'm just saying. Ash, what you got, Ash? She's waiting a couple of years to get a new one.

45:29Shannon Sharpe:Yo, Chad, if I watch the game with no sound, do you actually think I could watch the game in a sports bar?

45:37Chad Johnson:Yeah, too much going. People are bothering you. yes it's all the noise how can i concentrate yeah i'm trying i'm really trying to concentrate

45:47Shannon Sharpe:i'm trying to see why this is working why it isn't working what's really going on no i can't i can't and you know and i tell people this and i know it's hard for people to believe i'm the most outgoing introvert you're ever going to be and people they tell me all the time you ain't nothing like what you on tv i'm not my girlfriend's friends is like oh i bet he's so much fun because he's so funny he's like you think he like that when he's out on tv he ain't nothing like that that quiet he's sitting there with no sound and i do man i can't watch tv with the sound joe

46:29Chad Johnson:you can't no sporting event no i gotta hear the sound i i low-key gotta feel like i'm in the in the damn building, I ain't gonna lie to you.

46:39Shannon Sharpe:That's why I watch it by myself. Man, we oughta come over and watch. No, you ain't coming. I used to let guys come over and watch the game. I need to know who you cheering for. Who you for? Cause if you ain't going for the team I'm going for, you not coming. Yo, hold yo, you not coming. Man, come on, who you for, okay? You ain't finna be in my house rooting against my team. What the hell?

47:03Chad Johnson:yeah hey that's why when my damn cowboys play i sit here and watch it by my damn self so if i'm hey so if i'm in misery i can sit here in misery by my damn self but it ain't gonna be a bunch of y 'all over here rooting against my cowboys and we lose exactly exactly yeah no

47:24Shannon Sharpe:that's why i'll get to root for the cowboys y 'all be losing half the time but that's why you be saying

47:33Shannon Sharpe:And that's why she started coming. She used to come, the game coming on. Now she's coming like five minutes left in the fourth quarter. Nah, hell nah. You ain't going to be rooting against my team.

47:49Shannon Sharpe:It's been downhill for hard ever since that D-Wade debate. I don't think that had anything to do with it.

47:56Chad Johnson:Well, I mean, comparing the two, it's just different, bro.

48:00Shannon Sharpe:They're two different players, though. Yeah. Well. Their games are not even – Joe, there ain't nothing about their game that are comparable, that are similar, that you look at like, okay, I can see a little D-Wade. Okay, and D-Wade, I can see a little James Hart. Ain't nothing.

48:14Chad Johnson:Nah. Y 'all do know D-Wade is probably top two defenders in shot blocking from the two-guard spot. I think, hell, the only person probably in front of him is probably Jordan. Hell.

48:31Shannon Sharpe:I think he caught Jordan as far as blocked shots.

48:34Chad Johnson:Did he? From the two-guard spot? So he might be the best shot-blocking two-guard to ever play the damn game.

48:40Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Man, before – look. I think people are just looking at D-Wade's last couple years when his knees were bad. People don't realize D-Wade's, like, from when he came into the league until like 2012, so like the first 10 years.

48:58Chad Johnson:Yeah. Hey, boy, hell on wheels, wasn't it, man?

49:04Shannon Sharpe:And so, you know, sometimes that's what happens, Joe, is that when you get old, people don't remember how great you were when you were younger and you were fresher and you were healthier. Yeah. They just look at the last couple of years and they think that's what you are. They look at him in Chicago, I'll go to look at him in Cleveland and it's like, no, no, no, no. I don't look at that. I don't.

49:30Chad Johnson:Nah. I don't.

49:36Shannon Sharpe:Cavs should just blow it up. Bigs or soft. Dean Wade out there for cardio. Can't make free throws and bad coaching plus turnovers.

49:44Chad Johnson:Nah, nah, blow it up. Have they in the Eastern Conference Finals? Yeah. You got to find some way to tweak that roster, bro. that's comparable to helping Donovan Mitchell. I don't know what the hell you got to do, but you got to do something. Well, you kind of stuck with Mitchell and Harden.

50:04Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. You got to get a three. I'm not so sure you're going to be able to get off Mobley, so you might be able to trade Jared Allen. I'm sure somebody like a big. He can roll. He can rebound. He can block shots. Somebody take him up off your hand, and he's not making a ton of money. Man, you're going to have to figure something out.

50:24Chad Johnson:I think you got to go find your nice small forward. I know the Angels. I wonder why they gave up DeAndre Hunter. Hell, I thought he would be a great pickup. He used to play here for the Hawks, but he's a 3-and-D guy. They traded him. Yeah, I know. They traded him like Sacramento or something. Yeah. I don't know why they did that.

50:45Shannon Sharpe:Shannon, you always say you update your resume. are you sure Harden is still a top 75 player? Well, look, you can't get bumped out of that. It's like if you're an all-decade player, you're an all-decade player. Once you get those Pro Bowls on your resume, you are that player. But yes, you have to update. You could be a seven-time or five-time or whatever many-time Pro Bowl Ocho, but that doesn't mean that just because you were one that you are one. Yeah. Currently. And so, you know, he still can have those moments, but it's just harder as we start to age. It's just harder to have those moments back to back to back to back to back.

51:31Shannon Sharpe:Like I said, you'll remember Harden. Harden had, what, 30-plus games in a row, Joe, with 30-plus points. Woo. Cooking.

51:38Chad Johnson:Boy, nasty, man. Sprinkled some 40s and 50s up in there. But, hey, hey, but that's what I'm talking about. That's when could nobody stay in front of him. Okay, Ojo. I'm talking about nobody.

51:52Shannon Sharpe:But that was also a 27, 28 year old Joe.

51:56Chad Johnson:Yeah.

51:57Shannon Sharpe:There's a lot of miles on those tires. Yeah, you're right.

52:02Chad Johnson:And that boy hit that step back Joe and create all that separation. He got a nice handle, Ojo. And when he used to get a step on you and get by you, he was poking that thing. He was dunking that thing.

52:14Shannon Sharpe:Boom.

52:18Hey,

52:19Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, look, what percent will you say they will allow Knicks to sweep, or what percent you think they'll make it go games for the money?

52:29Chad Johnson:It's over.

52:31Shannon Sharpe:It's over.

52:32Chad Johnson:Hey, get your boot up.

52:34Shannon Sharpe:If Jesus come down there and play for the Cavs, the series over on Monday. Yeah, yeah.

52:42Chad Johnson:The Knicks, if I'm the Knicks, I'm thinking, damn, man, let's throw everything at them. Go and get them boys out of here. Hit them in their mouth that first quarter. They'll quit. They'll give up. And then we can sit back and just watch this heavyweight round fight between OKC and the Spurs. And hopefully, hell, they knock each other out here.

53:05Shannon Sharpe:Well, Spurs need to win tomorrow, Joe. because if they don't win tomorrow, when they go back to OKC on Tuesday, it's all good.

53:12Chad Johnson:It's all good. It's all good.

53:16Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, I think Santana Mons ran better routes than you, bro.

53:20Chad Johnson:I like that. That's home team. That's my Carol City brethren. You know? That's fine. Anybody. Hell, I think AB ran better routes than me, too.

53:35Shannon Sharpe:i still won't relax until the nicks get four wins the red sox yankees for uh 2004 still has me weary

53:44Chad Johnson:yeah hey them folks in new york sitting on pins and needles boy they can't wait to celebrate hey i told you what's gonna happen joe i already know joe hey that statue of liberty is gonna move it's gonna get it we're gonna walk right through that goddamn

54:02Shannon Sharpe:Just like y 'all be saying, they got defenders in the West for Brunson. We got defenders for theirs. Orange and blue skies. Thank you for riding with us.

54:11Chad Johnson:Orange and blue skies.

54:13Shannon Sharpe:It's going to be a great match. Whoever, if the Knicks are in it, but I think, look, the best situation is the Knicks versus somebody from the West. Because anybody else, no matter who, the Cavs, they getting swept. Both teams are sweeping them.

54:28Chad Johnson:Yeah, yeah, you're right. And I think, you know, you want to see Shea or Wimby playing in the garden in a playoff series. This is really where, like, the megastars are really made. You know what I mean?

54:47Shannon Sharpe:Chargers fans since 07. Here, can you tell me what the 94 championship team was like? It was like to play against, say, I rest your soul. Love always. Always. Go PSG. Man.

55:04We opened the season up against the Chargers.

55:11Shannon Sharpe:Bro, we was killing them dudes, bro. We had them dudes down like. It was a similar situation just like the Spurs was doing the OKC.

55:27Shannon Sharpe:Man. We were up, I think we were up 17. We was up 17-0 at one time. And then they scored 13. And then we throw a pick right before the half. And they run it all the way back as time expired in the half. They go in at the half as well as we play. They up 20-17. team. They take the weak score, then they come back and take the lead. Now we got to get our score touchdown. We down, I think we down like three. But I end up like messing my knee up. I tweaked my MCL. Man, Ocho, we got on the field. We back on the 10-yard line. We about to run sprint option. About to hit the guy he wide open, ball pops out of John's hand, Seahaw jumps on it, they win.

56:28Chad Johnson:Damn.

56:34Shannon Sharpe:That was it.

56:39Shannon Sharpe:They go on and they get to the Super Bowl and but we beat them. We go out there. We go out there and they oscillate in San Diego. So I gotta get that get back. You know I gotta get that get back, right? You know what I'm saying? I got hurt, I gotta get that get back. You know I'm gonna go look.

57:01Chad Johnson:What'd you do? What'd you have?

57:04Shannon Sharpe:I think I dropped out six for a buck 22 with a tub on him. You can look it up, Ash. I think I had like a 50-something yarder. Okay. Okay. Look it up. I think I had like six for a buck 22. Go ahead and look it up, Ash. 19.94. Let me go see if I can find what I did. I think about something like that. But I had like a 50-some-yard charge that I put on the top of him. Had a couple long runs, Joe. Ash be hating on me. She hate me.

57:37Shannon Sharpe:That's all right. I got it right here. I got it right here. Because I always gave the Chargers that work. I had a 100-yard game against the Chargers like every year, 94, 95, 96, 97. Oh, I'm cooking.

57:51Chad Johnson:What is it? What was it about the Chargers?

57:57Shannon Sharpe:Hold on. What? Nah, hell nah. What was it about them?

58:03Chad Johnson:Yeah, for you to get off like that every time.

58:07Shannon Sharpe:You know, they tried to cover me one-on-one.

58:10Chad Johnson:Oh, okay. Oh, my bad.

58:11Shannon Sharpe:I was off. I had six for a buck, 21 in the tub. And I was off a yard. my bad my bad i'm sorry i was cooking i was cooking i was cooking you know what i'm saying

59:29Chad Johnson:Damn. We had them, we was up what, 28 zip? Who there? on the charges they walked y 'all down yeah walked us down boy that got down LaDainian Thomason ooh man I think that's the year he had 31 TDs too

1:00:08Chad Johnson:You lucky I ain't play during your era. And I played like linebacker.

1:00:16Shannon Sharpe:There was never going to be no linebacker with your light ass. I'm just saying.

1:00:21Chad Johnson:Maybe you could have been a corner. I'm just saying if I had to cover you, all them numbers you got. You locking that up, Ojo? And listen, I would have had Uncle the blender out there. You hear me? Come on, man. Stop it. Hey, Joe, you seen the clip of me with them young college boys, right? Yeah. Joe, I'm like that at DB, Joe. Real patient. My feet work real good. My eye discipline real good, Joe. I'm always in position to be able to make a play. I never put myself in a bad position, Joe. Okay, okay.

1:00:52Shannon Sharpe:Well, you've been in a bad position. You play with me. Oh, AK, I was like, damn, Ocho and Steel. Hello. Who y 'all got tonight, Lance Stevenson or Michael Beasley? Ocho, how good was Sean Taylor?

1:01:09Chad Johnson:Woo! Hey, Sean Taylor was nice, boy. Sean Taylor was nice. Like, obviously, what you saw at UM is one thing. You know, what you saw in the NFL, the small sevens, how you saw in the NFL is another. But what he did in high school, what he did in Papua Newt, what Sean Taylor's name was ringing up. Sean lived way down south. Yeah. I live in the city, in Dade County. Sean was wearing Broward County. His name was ringing bells way from down there. So obviously, I didn't understand who he was. But when I had a chance to see him play at UM, man, the rest was history. I already knew what it was. And he made such an impact so early, which is why he's still regarded as one of the best.

1:01:52Chad Johnson:And he didn't even play long. Nope. And we still ain't seen nothing like that. Nah.

1:01:59Shannon Sharpe:Big dude like that size.

1:02:01Chad Johnson:Fast.

1:02:17Shannon Sharpe:Brian Moore, but yeah. I remember that. That was, that might have been 2005, 2005, 2006. I forgot what pro vote that was. Hey. because I think coach Belichick coach Belichick was the I think coach Belichick was it coach Belichick or was it coach Kyle the head coach at the Pro Bowl they ran that fake punt
