17:48Shannon Sharpe:Well, on Shea, let's just say Shea and Brunson and who the Wimby and then K. so is he saying the Knicks top three players are better than anybody else's top three players oh he said they the the Knicks top three would be the top three on any other team top five

18:17Shannon Sharpe:I don't know about I don't know about that uh about especially OKC because OG has never made an All-Star. And the top three on what you call him has made the All-Star team. Obviously, Shea's an MVP. Chance made the All-Star team this year. J-Dub made it last year. Wimby made the All-Star. Did Castle make it?

18:44I think so. Was he an All-Star? Let me see. I don't know if he's a lost. Hold on.

I mean, I guess they thought everybody in the NFL was making hundreds of thousands of dollars, but they were sadly mistaken. Sadly mistaken. So, nah, but that wasn't – in college, you know, hey, you only had so much money. Hey, we're going to the movies. I'm telling you. Right there on Abercorn.

26:42Shannon Sharpe:You say that until you start having a babysit. You're going to be like, uh-uh. What's up, big three? Just send the show some love from Columbia. Love the show. question what do y 'all think will happen to Bronny if Bron leaves Joe what you think will happen uh yeah maybe he'll go with him I agree he'll go with him I think that's the most likely scenario maybe a trade yep yep I can see that man

27:21Shannon Sharpe:damn how am I have to go see I guess I have to go see I got to see Luka play because I ain't never seen Luka play in a Lakers uniform damn you never been to a game when Luka was playing damn if Bruin ain't there it ain't going to hit the same though man what you think man I done spent a damn damn half a million dollars on tickets and people talk about clutch clutch hell I wish Tell Clutch to give me my damn money back for all the money I spilled in the damn seats. That would be a dollar to tell me.

27:59Shannon Sharpe:Nah, they're gonna hit the same. I ain't gonna lie. But I gotta go see Luka. Luka, Luka, one of my favorite players too, so I gotta see Luka. Damn. I don't know. I might have to go check out Ty Lue. Ty Lue, my boy. Sweet Lou. Brendan Crowe says, never take life for granted. My family and I were eating at a restaurant. A car drove at 40 miles an hour into the building, and the walls burst in on us. Thank God we were all mostly okay. Puts everything in perspective. Yes. You're very, very funny. Wow. I can just imagine. You see stuff like that in the movies, or you see it on television. Cars going to a house, and they're going to a restaurant.

28:43Shannon Sharpe:never do you ever think that that could happen to you. Yeah, no. Damn. Trade Randall for AD, and when AD goes down, Nas can start, and... But, I mean, do you want...

29:04Shannon Sharpe:Randall game, Randall kind of like... It's kind of hard to play ball like Randall because he want to play with his back to the basket. Yeah, he can face up, but he really wants to get down on the block. Yes, he's expanding his game, but Randle would have been great in the 90s. Yeah. His game would have been great for the 90s. And if AD can stay healthy, he will be a better option because defensively, he's a lot better defensively. And see, that's what he wants. Now, you put him side Rudy and Rudy play the five, he gets to play the four? Oh, he love that. Because if you think about it, Think about when they were here, you had JaVale playing the five and you had Dwight Howard playing the five.

29:47Shannon Sharpe:And only like the last five minutes of the game, he slid to the five and then a lot of times they slid LeBron to the four. Yep, he ain't got to do all that damn dirty work.

30:01Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, got to fix that Wi-Fi or something looking like an old school martial arts movie when he talk. Huh? Oh, we talk about at the beginning. Oh.

30:20Shannon Sharpe:Oh, Joe has so much smoke in that room. Uncle Snoop got jealous.

30:30Shannon Sharpe:King Ark just go and say, Oh Joe, your signal got you like a Kung Fu movie.

30:46Shannon Sharpe:TS Car Wash Detail Service says, Julius Randle's been dookie all playoffs. They had a couple of good games, but boy, whoo, these last couple. They been tough on them, man. It's been tough on them. Kaitlin got 32 points, eight assists, seven to three in OT tonight. All right, she coming, she coming, she coming, clock it. Oh, yeah, she ended up being great inbounds play, ran the pick. She hit the three, but it wasn't enough. Kaitlin Clark? She hit the three to send it to overtime. I ain't see them. I ain't even see that. I don't know who they lost to. Who did they lose to? Mystic, okay, yeah. What you call them been cooking?

It ain't going to be as easy as this was with having Rudy down there who's not a threat offensively. OKC got some guys. All right. What makes it hard to judge? Both teams, OKC and the Spurs, have another year. They've been pushed, but not hard yet. This will be great basketball. It absolutely will. It absolutely will. I got a question. Do you think whoever wins this series ultimately goes on and wins the finals? I do. Nope. You got the Knicks. You got the Knicks coming out of the East, right, Ocho?

37:57Yeah, the Knicks coming out of the East. The Knicks winning the finals.

38:01Shannon Sharpe:Wow. Damn. Yeah, I'm just letting y 'all know ahead of time. So don't be surprised when it happens.

38:12Shannon Sharpe:Shout out, Nightcap. Ocho, I'll never forget as a kid, no player wanted to take a picture with me, and the only one that did was you at the Pro Bowl, my favorite player ever. oh yeah you know i'm you know i'm i'm i be picture ready now man anybody want no picture with no uh cincinnati bingles hey i be picture hey they want a picture with me who hell did you trade at the pro ball ojo man you know i don't keep no member but you traded somebody you might not have kept them i took i ain't keep them all i left all that shit in storage Well, who do you trade with? I don't remember. I don't remember.

38:56I'm being honest, too.

39:00Shannon Sharpe:Damn. Positionless draft. Who are y 'all draft and who would win? Magic, Curry, SGA, Jordan, Kobe, Braun, D-Wade, KD, Bird, Duncan, KG, Rodman, Shaq, Kareem, Wimby, my five are LeBron, Kobe, KD, Rodman, and Shaq. Damn. You talking about a modern game? Because if you talking about a modern game, I ain't putting the Robin nowhere near the team. No. Me neither, man. I'm going Kobe Jordan.

39:40In my three, I'm probably going to go Bron. KG in my four. Shaq at the five?

39:47Shannon Sharpe:Shaq at the five? boy I ain't losing the game

39:56Shannon Sharpe:positionless draft so if you say positionless it's gotta be in today's game because you ain't paying no positionless draft in the 70s and the 80s you gonna get killed

40:14fuck fuck fuck I'll take Braun Jordan Kobe no Braun Jordan Curry

40:44Shaq KD

40:50Who the hell gonna play Who gonna play the foe

40:53Shannon Sharpe:You gonna put KD at the foe You said Bron You only named foe player Curry at the one Jordan Oh okay Bron, KD, Shaq Yeah That's a hell of a team What's up y 'all y 'all know why y 'all is late he doing too much freaking

41:25Shannon Sharpe:what trade was worse the Luca trade or the 49ers Trey Lance trade well the problem is is that even though trading up against Trey Lance was bad they took Brock Purdy to the 7th round so ain't nobody gonna really so it really didn't hamper them yeah the Luka the guy they traded for him they already traded him you traded him but they say you know what it's all good we got Luka replaced with the Cooper flag so we good that's why they traded him they got that number one pick

42:10Shannon Sharpe:why y 'all get mad at me

42:15Shannon Sharpe:They mad at my team, Joe.

42:25Shannon Sharpe:Hey, can I get a birthday shout out? I'm turning 26 today. Get up, go. Yes, sir, Derrick, happy 25th birthday. Boy, I remember when I was 25. Happy birthday, boy. Every birthday, man. Can you imagine? Well, take yourself back to when y 'all were 25. Damn, what I was doing? Boy, I could move a lot of luggage. I could move a lot of luggage back there, Jocho. 25. That was a 93 for me. That was my first year here in Atlanta, bro. Damn, okay. 93 wasn't your first year in no damn Atlanta. I said when I was 25. Oh, okay, I thought you said, okay, yeah. Nah, nah, nah, nah. 25. 25. I'm going 25 with the A.

43:15Ooh. That was long. It was jumping too. It was jumping. Ooh, it was jumping. Damn. Hey, hey, hey, hold up. That was at like the height of Mike Vick, bro. That was the Mike Vick experience. Yes. Well, this thing here used to be off the chain.

43:30Shannon Sharpe:The Michael Vick experience was alive or well? Hey. You had to be there. What's up, Nightcap? My question is, I've been wondering, although it's been a while since the event. Wild Unc hasn't mentioned any word of the World Athletic Relays that happened in Botswana since you are track fame. Big names weren't there, but still. Yes, Botswana guys, you guys did an unbelievable job. Y 'all, hey, y 'all challenged the world record. That South African Pee Lake that went 46-66 on the fly broke Michael Johnson's unbelievable 42-93. I mean, if you watched it, he went by Tobogo like he was standing still.

44:19Shannon Sharpe:And Tobogo ran 43-5, and he went by him like he was standing still. So we're going to have to be on our best behavior because, you know, our men and women, now we normally run the 4x4. Yeah. We normally run that. Rye Rye's running over four I think at the pre I think Rye I think Quincy Hall I think Michael Norman I think Bailey I think about four of those Yeah They're gonna run to four Our women Y 'all get a reprieve Cause Sid Is expecting her first child So if you say You know what This is a throwaway year Let me go ahead And get this baby out the way I'm gonna come back And put foot in all of y 'all Y 'all know what time it is So I see y 'all make sure y 'all know we had 27 is the world championships.

45:11Shannon Sharpe:I don't even know where they are. But 28 in L.A. She said, I'd be ready. She said, I'd be ready. He said, y 'all, y 'all, what they should have done is given her an opportunity to try to double in the four hurdles and this open four. That's what they should have done. And she pulled that off. She's the greatest. She's the greatest female Olympian ever.

45:35Shannon Sharpe:to do the 4-4? Yeah. It ain't close. And she'd be a three-time Olympic gold medalist in the hurdle, the world record. And she's what? Not far off the world record now in the 400, so she could potentially have the world record in the four hurdles and the open four. Many thought that a Coke's record would never be broken. Yeah, man. But that's all right. Enjoy. I know you probably both swanning and you know, you talk about to Bo going kippy. I know you feeling good about yourself, but we got something for you. We got something for y 'all. What's up, fellas? Have y 'all heard about this 7 '6", JK from Australia?

46:22Shannon Sharpe:I have not. Is he going to be in the draft this year? Look at him right quick. See what he got. What's that? 7 '6". Huh?

46:46Shannon Sharpe:Damn, ain't no way he athletic and fluidist Wemby though.

46:53Ain't no way. Yeah. Well, he's just seven, seven, six foot. Yeah.

47:01He got to be able to do something now.

47:06Shannon Sharpe:Dang.

47:10Shannon Sharpe:You see him dunking? You see him dunking, Joe? No, I don't see it. It ain't up on the screen. Oh, Ash got it up on the computer. He's 17 years old. He can move, he's fluid. Yeah, he ain't bad.

47:27Shannon Sharpe:have asked city to you

47:32Shannon Sharpe:he kind of he kind of remind you of bold bold do it really she bold bold over there scoring 50 points overseas man she dimmed it to you the gold standard gold michael jordan would average 45 points a game in today's soft nba okay there's no way to prove or disprove it so now when y 'all say this guy would do this at this time I'm just gonna agree with y 'all agree with you

48:06Shannon Sharpe:buenos dias fellas will you guys consider going live when y 'all go fishing and play pool cause we know Unk can't fish or play pool he just talk a lot man you on crack If you don't think I can do either one of them, you got to be on Flockle. I think Art got a nice little, you know, probably pool stick game. I mean, he ain't good enough to beat me, but I'm sure he'd be good enough to come in second place. Didn't I send you the video? You saw the guy that I beat. I seen the race. You said you beat him. I beat him. And, Joe, you know good well you're not finna beat me fishing. Who? You. Oh, look, we already know Ocho just coming for the ride.

48:53Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, Ocho just coming for the ride. Ocho's more on support. That's what he comes for. He's that guy that you bring for support. There you go. Get you a few laughs, a few gistings. Yeah, that's what he does. He, you know what he is? He the little brother that your mom and your grandma make you take. Well, take him with you. Okay. Hey, I want y 'all to keep on thinking y 'all just y 'all gonna get away with stuff now. Hey Joe, pool, it ain't happening. Not fishing, y 'all might got fishing. What you mean, Mike? I don't be out there fishing no more. Yeah. That's what you do. You know how your mom and grandma would take that little fella with you.

49:32Yeah. Come on.

49:36Shannon Sharpe:That's alright. I'm going to scare all the fish away. I already know you're going to be throwing rocks in the water. That's why we don't want you to go. I'm so glad you see your personality because I hated you on the Hawks. Gave my leg a 30-piece with no expression. I thank God you didn't like threes. Yeah, I mean, Joe done got on here, man. That's my brother coming. I said, man, what y 'all done done to Joe? I said, man, Joe be cutting up over there with you and Ocho. Hey, Chad. Hey, Chad. Hey, they send me to the Wolves. I'll come back leading the pack. I'll come back leading the pack. I like it.

50:13I like it.

50:15Shannon Sharpe:I like it. Yeah. ISO, do you prefer rest or to keep momentum going considering OKC having more than a week to rest facing the Spurs in the conference finals? Hell, no, I want rest. Because the games are played at such a high level in the postseason, meaning every possession counts. Yeah. And the great teams understand that, bro. So you exert a lot of energy, you know, throughout these games. That's why you see some cats who play good early in the first couple games in the series, and then once it gets later, hell, they so bogged down and tired because they exude so much energy throughout this whole series that they have a tendency to fall off.

50:56So, yeah, I take risks.

50:59Shannon Sharpe:Why does Unk pretend Michael Jordan not the GOAT? Does Unk get access from LeBron? I don't get to have an opinion. So, all the people – I just want to know. Just help me understand this, Joe. So I get – I'm on Clutch's payroll because LeBron is my player and I believe he's the GOAT. So anybody that's a professional athlete that do what I do, that says Jordan or Kobe are the GOAT, are they on Jordan or Kobe's payroll? Or is it just me?

51:31It's just you, bro.

51:32Shannon Sharpe:I figured as much. That's it. Because you notice that? It's just you. The people cape for Jordan and nobody say, man, are y 'all on Jordan payroll? or they cape for Kobe? Are y 'all known Kobe's foundation payroll? I mean, what's growing up? Just me. And they know it's just a little, it's an easy way for them to kind of get under your skin a little bit. Take a look. They like when you get a little pissed off. You know, when you get a little pissed off and start going at them, they like that. Nah, I'd be like, man, they be getting you to, I say, I wish I, that$505 look real good in my bank account right now.

52:10Shannon Sharpe:Look real good. Yeah.

52:15Shannon Sharpe:Oh, I guess Ant-Man learned from Braun to know when the fight is over and with time left, Braun bowed out in 2018 against the Warriors and now Ant-Man. The game was over. Hey, look, I thought Ant-Man went out guns a blazing. He shot it 26 times. I thought he got up enough. I thought he got up enough FGAs if you ask me.

52:40Shannon Sharpe:You know, Unc was never late to meetings when he stopped Clint Porter from knocking on Mike Dore and told him to go run the alcohol out. Nah, yeah. You drunk like a damn fish. Yeah. There was some good times, though. Like I said, but guys back then, they kind of listened to the veteran players. Now, Ochoa, I don't know how much guys listen to the veterans in the locker room now. They kind of do their own thing now. It would be a problem. It would be a problem for me. but you know guy was like alright alright alright Sean we got it we got it I don't know now it be tough now with y 'all and think about it in the NBA it's way tougher because if you a veteran you probably been in the league 4-5 years you ain't but 24-25 then you got a rookie coming in he ain't but 22-23 hell what you gonna tell him he's like alright and another thing another thing guys if you're a veteran player and you got the young guy and the young guy is better than you it takes a special type of a person to listen to someone that the person that I'm listening to I'm better than him but I feel he can impart wisdom on me that's gonna help me yeah it's hard to get people that don't think they know everything though Ocho and Joe yeah it is dog to know everything That's why it matters.

54:10It matters what team you go to because, man, me going to Boston, my rookie year, playing behind Eric Williams, I ultimately end up starting. But, bruh, he was probably in my corner more than anybody, giving me pointers, telling me the do's and don'ts, things I need to do to be effective. You don't get that nowadays because, hey, everybody competing for the same spot. Right.
