Dit is the Dan Lab ator Show with the Stu Kat z Podcast . Michelle Beadle will be here shortly. We've wandered around a lot today. Jeremy, can you do some cleaning up for me on some of the uh answered questions that we have not yet answered on some of the wandering we've done today? Yeah, you got it. So with the Spanish radio broadcast for the Marlins, we have found out that the rooster began as a sounder last year, as indeed a rally rooster. So this is year two of that. Uh Olaf from Frozen, worth mentioning, voiced by Josh Gad, who is a South Florida guy. Chris Paddock, who you said made his debut for the Marlins this year, he was the prospect, the primary prospect traded for Fernando Rodney after being drafted by the Marlins. We all remember that trade. Take me out to the ballgame came out 20 years after Casey at the bat. Uh, the origin of hard ass, while it's colloquially tied to the early nineteen sixties in American language, um, old hard ass was the nickname for General George C uster of the Civil War. And so that's sort of the first known use. Udders are an organ normally with two to four mammary glands, and there can be a pair, so you could have anywhere from two to four to eight. and ag ate the word that was used by Greg, just in case anyone was concerned, is a stone. Not in journalism though. He was not using agate as a stone. Agate is small type in uh newspaper. So even microscopically smaller of a reference. That is correct. So uh Chris Paddock, uh you mentioned him. I'd like to mention that entrance again to you guys just because we don't see a lot of cowboys in South Florida . Uh but I not only want to point out to you that upon this entrance, uh theatrical and dramatic, getting out of a uh SUV, Cowboy Boots First, uh Cowboys on a cowboy Boots on the Pavement , uh, gets his jacket out of his car, struts in uh with the uh, you know, they they put not in agate, they put in the type that the Marlins sent out, there's a new sheriff in town. And he gave up eight runs in four innings. But the part that I had not mentioned is he's coming into this game at this hour. Uh that game had an attendance of six thousand five hundred and fifteen. And they were entertained by me for the entire nine innings. Boy, we had a great time together. You could have just let that number sit there for just a second before you installed it. It didn't have to speak that quickly after the number. The number could have just sat there before you told us about your triumphant entertainment stylings. Dan, I'd like to describe the jacket that this guy wore on the way into the building as a very David Sampson esque selection. It's true. And you can't do all of that and be performing in front of six thousand people and give up eight runs in uh four innings. Well David Samson did for a few years, right? Like he wore jackets like that while entertaining six thousand people. I guess so, yeah. Uh I don't know that he declared himself a new sheriff in town or the organization had declared him a new sheriff in town. He did wear that cowboy hat that one time. That's why he was flirting that's when he was flirting with San Antonio. We'll get to Michelle Beadle in a second. But it was nice to see Radko Gudis in the news. I hadn't thought of him in a while. I love when the Panthers have or had in this case uh somebody who is a notorious uh uh thug enforcer captain he's a gooner Dan where in the MBA there's all sorts of discourse about guys taking time off to make sure they don't get too fatigued. In the NHL, Radco Goodas shed a walking boot to catch an ass kicking. That's because several weeks ago he had a dirty hit. I think he would admit through his actions, I think he admitted it. He had a dirty hit on Austin Matthews that ended up uh costing Austin Matthews the rest of his season uh uh tore up that MCL and everyone's eyes then went to the calendar to see the next time these two teams would match up again. Goodis served a five-game suspension, which in hockey circles people criticize as being a little light because of the nature of this hit. Radko, as I mentioned, was in a walking boot, but he was not avoiding what was coming to him. He damn well knew what was coming to him. And he was proven right. The second the puck dropped in Anaheim, Max Domey lowers his gloves, son of the famous uh son of the famous enforcer, Ty Domi. Oh, it wasn't It was Max Domey. Max Domi drops the gloves and heads over to Radko Kutis who also uh responds in kind. However, here's the interesting part about it . Radko absorbs all the punches, doesn't throw a single punch because he's basically admitting, yeah, I did you dirty there. I'm literally gonna take my lumps. I think Radko had seven minutes of ice time and nine penalty minutes last night. Everybody was gunning for him. The Leafs end up winning in overtime. But Radco, credit to him. He took his ass kicking, literally. They not only uh won in overtime. Weren't they down? Uh they didn't they score three or four goals in the third period in order to win that game? Did he motivate them to victory by taking his ass kicking? I don't I don't get it. Did uh so he he did the uh the pull-off went off me, coach like is that what he did he basically did but with his face and he didn't fight back the leaves were the one that uh that were the team that ended up winning that game in overtime but credit to the captain of the Anaheim Ducks playing for old school hard ass coach Q. He came back. He was hurt. He was not healthy enough to play in that game. Probably wouldn't have played, but he didn't want the optics of avoiding the maple leafs. He didn't want the optics of him avoiding an ass kicking. And like I said, he didn't throw a single punch if you watch a fight. Radko's a decent fighter. He could land a few on Max Domey. He decided against it. I don't get this at all. I don't get this at all. My dear brother Noomsey, I I've I've wronged you. I have per I should be purged. That's that's what he did. Look, either you either you come back from injury to fight back, or you will just wait till you're healthy. But I'm not gonna give you brownie points. Like I went out there and I got my ass whipped because I'm a man of honor. Shut up! Shut the hell up. Keep in mind this is mere hours. Um the Toronto Maple inspired a GM. Hours before the game. That's an important note. Yeah, it is an important note because like basically this is to show the new GM. Hey, yeah. This was it this this Toronto's season somehow more of a disaster than Florida's because they were supposed to have this whole culture change. They blamed all their issues on Mitch Morner. They get Mor ner out and they just totally tank it. They have one of these other hard-ass coaches come in who was going to change the culture, and they fell on their face. This was the only game they had to play for. They were playing for their captain, Austin Matthews. And they they did take vengeance upon the those that wronged Austin Matthews, but still whack ass season. I'm gonna I'm going to again point out what Jeremy did at the start of this segment that those of you longing for a hard ass coach for the Vegas Knights to have uh tortorella or any other hard ass It ain't the United States of torturella you are referencing a general from the Civil War and whatever his behavior was during the Civil War that made other people look at him and say, that pr that general is unreasonable in wartime. But he won it and he was on the good side. Dan Custer's last stand. Real real book. What ended up having to custer? I think he invented a dessert. I love I love Custer. Michelle Beadle is with us now and she's the host of the NBA show Run It Back with Chandler Parsons and Lou Williams. She brings out the best in those two as former players and broadcasters. Uh we will start with her with the uh lightest of subject matter. Uh the uh the Jaden Ivy Bulls story. Uh your yes, let's bring you in. Let's just welcome you in and throw you some of the good stuff right off of the top. Uh you you you woke messenger for the woke mob, uh your your thoughts are what on the idea that the Bulls uh ran Jaden Ivey out of town for uh you know saying that basically a group of people are guilty of unrighteousness. And welcome, Michelle. Nice to see you. Well, I'm glad you brought the atheist on for the unrighteous conversation. Uh I definitely feel like this is my domain. Look, I he crashed out and I missed the days when we didn't have to crash out on the internet and it lives forever. I don't I don't know what's going on in that young man's mind. Um it was tough to watch. I didn't I only watched about four or five minutes of it. I did not realize there were a couple hours at least worth of this and then into yesterday and Steph Curry's name gets invoked and you get a little LeBron love in there. Um it kind of makes you wonder though if there's a little more to it. I also feel like if this kid is having some sort of a of a mental bre ak. Um that's also tough that he just got cut as well. And so you're you're kind of like, I don't think this is gonna get better before it anything. I think it's gonna get worse. Um so I yeah, I hate it. I I as far as his actual thoughts and feelings, the I put no stock in it, um we live in a time of complete and total lack of rules, morals, uh laws . If if you're worried about what people do in their bedroom, my goodness, do I have a list of people you should go after before that? So here we are. Uh the crash outs continue, ladies and gentlemen. Well when you say uh what's going on in that young man's mind how are we equipped as a sports media to correctly uh diagnose uh uh mania, bipolar, mental illness, any of it? Any of it when it makes because uh it's it seems dangerous and unfair for us to be doctors and diagnose this stuff, but it also seems ignorant to see a number of different things happen in the media where people aren't talking about treatment for mental illness. You know, bipolar. She's crazy. Like we say these things very lightly and flippantly in normal conversation with our friends when we're talking about people, what have you. Um, and I think especially in the male community , in the male athlete community, that this that's why it's a big deal when like a DeMar de Rosen sort of takes this as his cause mental health because I think a lot of young boys who grow up to be men are not taught to address this . They're they're told to repress it, to push it down, it's no big deal. You know, I look, I I love my dad to death, but even he, when I'm dealing with like depression and anxiety, I think for the longest time growing up, it was like mind over matter. It really isn't, unfortunately. I think there's a lot of chemistry involved that the the civilian is probably not supposed to diagnose. Um, and we're getting better about treating mental health with a a little more sensitivity and But yeah, in this particular case, I think we all can clearly see there's something going on here. None of us are really equipped to say exactly what it is. The only one that would be able to do that is if if Jaden Ivey himself were to go talk to someone and So yeah, it's a bummer. And I think we also have this sort of morbid desire and hunger to like oh let's watch another person crash out on the internet. Like it's we we may not want to say that, but it's there. We watch it and so yeah, it he's in a bad place. I h I hope he's got good folks around him that'll sort of drag him if they have to to get a little help. Michelle, do you think this should be or will be a career ender? Amin says he's done playing in the United States. I I 100% agree. It's so funny you should say that. By the way, a mean's on here? I never get to be on here when a mean Elhausen's around. Wow, my friend . Stop lying. I know I hate you. I actually hate him. Um But that being said, no, I Lou both Lou Williams and Boogie this morning had said the same thing. They're like, because Chandler's like, is he done? And they didn't even hesitate. They're like, he's done. So yeah, at 24 years old. What what was was he, the number five pick? Like that's a crazy quick fall. We've seen falls before, but completely self-inflicted, which is a bummer. Hello, listeners and friends.

He's a great player. He scores a lot of goals. He scores a ton of assists , but it hasn't translated to making Edmonton a powerhouse in the league in the final. Stugats. What's your nickname for him? McOver Raider. This is the Don Lebatar show with the Stugats I mean I suspect I know what Michelle's answer to this is, but uh you I I was mentioning earlier that J.J. Reddick says Luke is the MVP. Shea Gilders Alexander. Uh uh are you gonna be biased here? Are you gonna separate your emotion from this? Wait, did you ask Michelle Denise Beadle if she's gonna be buy do you see her background? Is there anything behind you there in that bookcase that is not Spurs related? I don't feel the pressure to sort of go out and be super passionate about Wemby being the MVP because I truly feel calmly that he will have several of those when it's all said and done. I'm okay with SGA getting it. Like if you really wanted to break down the numbers, I know there's a bunch of nerdy stats where you can you can support Wemby to win it as far as what happens when he's there, what happens he's not. The the best part about this honestly is that we're getting a hell of a run with six, seven games left where you get one dude dropping 47, the other guy drops 41, and and one's campaigning for himself and the other one's very diplomatic and sweet and Canadian, and he's just like, well, there's lots of good players. They're both gunning for it. And both teams are excellent. Um, I feel calm. I Wemby makes me feel very calm. Like I don't feel like I need to be enraged. And maybe that's also age, but he'll be fine. He's gonna win all of the awards multiple times. And to say that with such certainty is it's a lovely place to live. I wish all sports fans could be a Spurs. Can you can you give me though? You know how we get hardened by some of the things in sports, but there are certain people who sometimes remind us of all the things that we loved about sports in childhood. Is there any one thing where Wemby has most made you fall in love with him, whether he's just speaking to the public, whether he's crying, you know, during a regular season game, whatever the things are that build the mythology and the fandom and the connection that is for you the most Wemby of lovable lovable things. Oh man. I mean he is a different dude. I think we all can see that. I I think showing up in Washington Square Park in the rain to play chess with strangers in Manhattan was like the visual of that for me . I mean I was in the city that day. It was a c it was a crappy weather day. And I thought for sure, nah, this isn't gonna happen. And he did it. He went and he played that's just different. Um especially at that age. Like what, you know, at the time was he, twenty-one?. Who does that Michelle. Who does that at all? If it was anyone else, you would have called them a fraud. Why because they love chess? Yes. Yes. If it was any if Shay Gilders Alexander did that, you'd be like, oh, this this guy. He's so corny, can't stand him. There are people that Draymond Green is their favorite player. Well, the rest of us don't feel that way. That's just how you love yours. Like that, it's it's he's on my team. He is my team. Um, he's going to be for hopefully his entire career. I are there things that let's put it this way, are there things Victor Wembenyama could do in his life that I would say, uh , of course. He could kick a dog, he could you know there are all kinds of things. Um but he hasn't done that. He's perfect so far. So what do you want from me? What what about self-campaigning for MVP? Love it. You know what? When I was in high school running for treasurer, they said if you don't vote for yourself, who will? And that love everything about it. He has to. I I he's different. He's just different. I and I I'll be I'll say this. Is that not better than the alternative where you act like you're too cool for school and awards don't make course awards mean something. Who doesn't want to be the best at something or win everything. I love that he's very in tune with who he is and not ashamed to sort of put on airs. Like, we should embrace this, America. Embrace this. For all of the arguments about the MVP, how in good conscience Second favorite player in the league for all the same reasons he is who he is. Um yeah, it is crazy that statistically what he's doing, i it's it's weird to say it's quiet because those numbers are gaudy and he's doing it on a consistent basis. I think he is playing at his peak in a time where there are a lot of dudes that are absolutely fantastic. And I think what it'll boil down to really in his case is going to be the team itself. I think they're just not as good as OKC and not quite as good as San Antonio. Um and when it's all said and done, I these are all players that I think will look back on when their careers are over and say, Oh yeah, he easily could have won a few more MVPs. Like the same thing we do with LeBron, honestly. Like the if you think about it, depending on who's voting and how they're voting, you could make that argument as well. It's just the only one can only one guy can win. Although, wouldn't it be crazy? And I've heard this a couple times now, what if we got a tie? Can we even have a tie in MVP? Like the Oscars. They are there was a tie in one of the categories. They should give a you can't you can't not give it to Jokic when he's your reigning MVP several times over, is having a better season than he's ever had, and those other guys haven't closed that gap. Like it's not you already gave it to him the last two or three seasons. It's not like Luca and Shea Gilgis Alexander are that much better than they were before. Who is saying Luca? Well, there's no Luca JJ Red dick. Okay, well there you go. That's that's like my dad saying I'm the greatest. Like that doesn't matter. And like no Luca's not in this. Luca's never gonna be in this. Nick Wright also, Nick Wright is also saying. Nick Wright says that he's the MVP flat out. That's what Nick said. Well, Nick, I don't know what kind of robotussin he takes in the morning before he goes to. I don't know what his schedule is, but no. Luca's not it. There are way better players on way better teams. Sorry. And see I said Robotussant, so it's not slander . Don't know anything. Well we talk about the M V P Michelle, it's not the M V T, right? We talk about the teams, but this is like a a s a person the most valuable player not the most valuable team yeah sg a has got an incredible team Wemby and the Spurs are great if you take Jokic off Denver what are they yeah it's it's a that to me is I think the best argument is because I think we do get a little bit a I think we get brainwashed into all right it's yokit and SGA. I just have I have to pick between those two, that's it. Then sort of Wemby's inserted himself in the conversation. Luca kind of always has hovered, um, but when it all came down to it, it was always sort of two guys left in the race. This is the first time that in a long time where I feel like there are arguments to be made for multiple people. But you're right. Like if you do some of the stats for some of these guy like SGA is not there. That team still won. We took Wembe off the Spurs. They still won. So it's it is an interesting conversation. And if you were to take it at face value with the words are, I do believe in that argument that Jokic has to be. But it's that has sl that's quieted. I haven't heard anyone say Jokic MVP in a minute, which is insane to me. Been me for 25 months. God, I love that. See? That is commitment. Michelle, did you win the treasury race? The what? The treasurer race. Did you win it? You said you ran for treasure. I don't think I did. You don't think you did? Well, I think about how I've been with money since and I'm gonna say no. I did not win the treasury. Jokic is 81, 80 to 1 to win the MVP, which seems crazy. Uh, but go ahead and give me an overunder on this statement. Yes or no uh I'm sorry, over under Wemby to win more championships than Tim Duncan. Oh, sna p. That's tough. I mean, we are currently in a race for Says, but that's getting that first one's gonna be tough. You know what? Huh. I'm gonna say under. That hurts. Oh, finally. But Tim Duncan I broker. Tim Duncan got five and I broker. I I finally something that doesn't pass for just over the moon positive about Wemby. Uh you messed up. You should have said over under LeBron James. Oh . Now you put it in a way that she's not conflicted anymore. Different numbers . Thank you, Amin, for producing Michelle better than I did. Uh he does know me well and I don't like it. It's very interesting. What is the accusation you were trying to file at Nick Wright by accusing him of taking cough medicine in the morning in the Well th those are the rantings uh of what can only be described as sort of swayed thought processes. So Robotus So you're you're accusing him of just What did you do just? You just just swigging swigging Robotus in a way that that imp that impairs his judgment. Okay. Yeah. Start the day that way. I l I know you, Nick. I know what you're up to. You say crazy things out loud for an effect, and I get it. It works. It's got a great show. It's working. Uh purple drink, is that what she's accusing him of? Robotussin? What the what it what the Robot I cough syrup? Funny word. Yeah. Yeah Robotusin., Robotusin's just fun to say. It sounds like Robospeer, and then you get to go down that road. So that's that's fun. Put it on the poll at Lebatard Show. Is it more fun to say Robotussin than it is any other medicine? Uh thank you, Michelle . Nice seeing you. She's the host of the NBA show Run It Back with Chandler Parsons and Lou Williams and she does uh bring out the best in them. Thank you, Michelle. Thanks, guys. I did not even get to with her Anthony Edwards missing the tip yesterday after returning to work because he just had to go to the bathroom.

He's supposed to start and then he went back to go to the bathroom and gotta put someone else in there. Cambridge in the hit film Like Mike.

That's on That sounds like a not a super nice night. The debate. Old people love that shit. Yeah . That's exactly right. Yeah. That's exactly right. Mm-hmm. Old people do love that shit. And I'm old now. I can't deny it anymore. Now, this is the Dan Levatard Show with the Stu Gats. Greg Cody, can you explain to me after we have talked about the rooster, the rally rooster of the Spanish broadcast of the Miami Marlins, uh why it is that you believe that Bill Lawrence, who created the Steve Carell HBO Max Show Rooster, uh, why are you claiming that Bill Lawrence uh named that after you? Yeah. Uh my wife and I watched Rooster for the first time uh a couple of nights ago. We watched the first two episodes of the inaugural season. And and I didn't know a whole lot about it, and I was surprised that the Steve Krell character is named Greg. And it struck me that we don't nobody knows a lot of Greg's. Okay, Greg's one of those names from a generation ago. I am betting, I am believing that Bill Lawrence, in naming the Steve Carell character, uh thought of me as a Greg, he peripherally knows through this show. And so I'll go a step further. I think the stir the Steve Correll char acter may have been patterned after me. Because the Steve Carell character, I it was like looking in the mirror watching those episodes. You know? The Steve Carell character is a couple of things that uh I have been called in my life uh in terms of personality and demeanor. And eh coincidence, coinky dink. I don't know about that. What things are you talking about? There was that one scene where he said you never know . There you go. He's the kind of guy that He is the kind of guy that And and also at one point he's going good Uh which I thought was a mind blower. I'm just saying I think Bill Lawrence was influenced by me in the making of that series, in the writing of that series, in the casting of Steve Carell, in naming Steve Carell Greg. Am I right- am I positive I'm right? No, but that's why it's a good on the poll please at Lebatard Show. Is Greg one of those names from a generation ago? Greg, I'll back you up on this. I think we got a case for copyright infringement. Whoa. This guy just basically ripped off your life and your name. No permission, no head s up, no nod, like a hey special thanks to at the end of the episode. Yeah, that's true. You know what? I didn't I didn't scrutinize the credits. Uh d does he not credit me uh He didn't. I look. Okay. Okay. Well, I'll I'll I'll have an eagle eye for that. He's Roy's friend, by the way. Roy, what's up with your boy, man? Well, in episode I believe it was episode three, uh Steve Carrell's character was in Florida. He was wearing a he's a hockey fan. He was wearing a Florida Panthers t-shirt while watching the Boston Bruins. So maybe he's patterned this show after several people on the show. Yeah, like Dan, right? Because he's the one who banged the drum. Greg would never do that, wear a Florida Panther shirt. Dan's the fan here. Yeah, I'm an independent journalist. Uh but you know the evidence grows, you know. Gotta get B Law on the phone and uh you know get to the bottom of this, as far as I'm concerned I spontaneously invented the nickname B Law, which ought to be ad adapted and adopted and encouraged, uh, because he looks like a guy who would have a nickname like B. Law. I mean, what are your thoughts here on the Atlanta Hawks winning by 20 at home last night against the Boston Celtics? It ran out of gas. I think we're all agreeing that the absurdity of what it is that he was saying. I I stayed with it so I'm gonna let him cook a little bit more. You didn't seize on that. I'm gonna go ahead and so I just wanted to aggressive and pull it over to the Atlanta Hawks. Did Jalen Brown play last night? He did. So the Celtics look like that when Tatum and Brown play together and they score 80 points. They've had a couple of these games where they score 80 points. The the Hawks are, to me, the more interesting uh dilemma at the moment the way that they've been playing since getting rid of Por zingis. Yeah no no Tatum uh last night he did not play obviously Bucevic still out as well so they were down two starters. Uh the Hawks, I wouldn't say since they got rid of Porzingas, because Porzingis barely played for them. I say there's another guy they got rid of around the trade deadline. That's the kind of things have changed since he's been gone. Yeah, it's been a little chilly out there. By the way, speaking of ice tray in the Washington Wizards, did you guys notice Anthony Davis on the bench for the Wizards the other night against last night against the Lakers? So was it like a Super Bowl party where he approached Sal from Impractical Jokers and was like, we have got to find a way to work together. Dude, I saw the promo and it's like, and LeBron James is here, and so's Draymond Green. And I'm like, what what is this show? Is it impractical jokers without the impractical jokers? I gotta have the third eye open. This had to be uh like somehow attached to the Luca trade. I I don't know how. I'm still working on it. So I told you guys I I told you guys I saw this on HBO Max and you helped me with how it is that things are changing, okay? I mentioned to you guys when Anthony Davis had a prank show. I saw only one episode and it existed on HBO Max. It is now moved over to uh uh TNT or what however it is that things on this front are changing, and I was confused because I thought that was an HBO Max show, and now it is a series and a season. Anthony Davis is hosting a prank show. It oh was always on TBS, Dan, but because TBS, TNT, and HBO are all owned by the same umbrella organization, Warner Brothers Media, which may or may not belong to Paramount now or Netflix. I don't know anymore. The whole timeline is forget about antitrust. Let's just have the same three companies own everything. But as a result, Dan, yes, you might have caught it on HBO Max because HBO Max So how many of these shows have there been and who has he pranked? Because Anthony Davis was a really strange choice, and I simply assume that that came to be because of all of the clutch management stuff. I thought it was before he got traded to Dallas or Washington. You don't think Anthony Davis when you think of pranksters? Mike wouldn't you say is that oh in fact the joke is a show that's built upon like people don't recognize these guys so they're able to do these pranks in public Maybe he'll wear glasses and be totally inconspicuous. Maybe he'll put maybe he'll put shoes on his knees like Gary Olman in tiptoes. It just kinda like hey, I'm a regular size person . Guys know about that tiptoes? Do know about that tiptoes. With Anthony Davis on the bench, but I just I'm so fascinated by him having a prank show. Okay, you you should be fascinated by that, but I want you uh as we do, no shortage of meandering around here. I simply want to remind all of you Where we were a few minutes ago when B Law and Greg Cody being done with having anything of substance on his contrivance that he thinks Rooster is named after head led me to the panicked transition of asking a mean about the Hawks. And now I'm on an Anthony Davis prank show, and I got nothing in the way of analysis on the Hawks, who I would think everyone in the East is thinking about . But we have to talk about Anthony Davis and Sal wanting to build together. Sal . We have two huge brands. Impractical jokers. I mean Anthony Dav is. How do we bring these worlds together? Let's build. I can tell you the history of the prank show. It began as a black and white TV show called Candid Camera, hosted by Alan Funt. Oh, I love it. Yeah. Funt. That Funt. That began the prank show. You could look it up. We could. I'm gonna just leave it there as a turd to steam by itself in the summer heat. No, just gonna leave the Ellen Funt right there. Uh Greg Cody wanders in well off fresh off his B-Law triumph, uh accusing Bill Lawrence of uh I'm crediting him. I'm not accusing him. So of course making Steve Carell into a Greg Cody character. Thank you, named Greg. I uh right. Which is a name from a generation ago. Imagine that. Uh yeah, what a what a coincidence. Are they gonna give Mike Trout a singing competition ? Candid camera debuted seventy years after Casey It's back. The Hawks, I mean the Hawks, uh you're saying this is not Kaminga, this is not addition by this is nothing but addition by subtraction. They got rid of Trey Young's forty foot jumpers and him being the worst defender in the league and all of a sudden now nobody can beat them. Yeah, I mean it's it's a combination of things. It's Trey Young's defense. It's the offense runs a lot more egalitarian, which happened a lot earlier during the season when Trey Young was unhealthy earlier then, with that they started running through things through Jalen Johnson and he's been the revelation. Obviously an all-star for the first time this year. Uh Nikhil Alexander Walker has been a huge, huge addition as a vet, as a guy who's a great defensive player. And coming into his own as a scorer as well. And then you trade Trey Young, you get CJ McCullum back. He's everyone's favorite vet in the locker room. He's a very accomplished scorer as well. Dyson Daniel, one of the best wing defenders in the NBA also. He's playing. They're wings in general. They're but they when you talk about these pacer type of teams getting to the finals or the the length uh the I mean the Knicks fans love Ananobi. They love uh
