The End of Dray Day - A Golden State Dub-lemna!

[00:00:00] It's Friday, you know what time it is. It's FRPC Hoops, it's your boy Vince, he's on the air with you and today we are going to have a conversation about Dray Monitoring. He seems like it's a long time coming, but now we're here.

[00:00:33] And because of the antics and the frequency of these antics that have transpired of late going back to the Jordan Pool Punch obviously, they Golden State, the Front guys did not want Dray Monitoring to miss Ring Knight. So he only miss one preseason game.

[00:01:02] The stop to subbonus that was unwanted, the choke to go bare and now the punch to the energy and here we are. He's suspended indefinitely from what I'm gathering their senior studies and counseling involved, some anger management involved, someone close to the organization said there might be

[00:01:39] some kind of other issue, but we hope that he gets the help that he needs and comes back. But what a great friend Steph Curry is for Dray One Green. You think about it. 2016, Dray Ma knowing that he is one flaker fall away from being a suspended,

[00:02:14] the act on the rock, he gets suspended, it changes the series, Cleveland wins that that series. Now, it usher's in Kevin Durant, championships of one, things prevail, cooler has prevail, but then Dray Ma somehow alienates Kevin Durant who we all know, especially at that

[00:02:45] time, is the greatest offense of weapon we've ever seen. And now there's a lot to that story where Durant was out no matter what or this pushed him over the edge, but he didn't help. So he ends that. Didn't they go through the injuries?

[00:03:11] They find their way back to the finals and Dray Ma is absolutely brilliant. All the defensive, headiness that you could ever want, all the passion, all the desire, all the heads up offensive, playmaking ability. And they win a championship.

[00:03:36] Now, at that time, you can see the skills starting to a road he's not as impactful. Well, once he's not as impactful, he's in impactful in a different way. He's not as athletic as he used to be or whatever.

[00:03:51] But we're entering a different phase of Dray Ma and then there were questions about whether they were good in sign, Dray Ma on long term. Well, if you knew Steph Curry, you knew that Dray Ma was going to be sign long term. Because Steph rides with Dray Ma.

[00:04:14] But now with this, we might be coming to an impasse that we can't get beyond. Golden State looked woefully imprepared against the clippers last night. Harden had one of his best gains. We're going to get to that later. But you can see a team that was clearly outmatched.

[00:04:41] You can see a team that was clearly too small. Even the Dray Ma came back, this team is woefully unprepared to deal with the size and the skill level that is in the West.

[00:05:00] So I know, curse sources that the Golden State Warriors will be giving Steph Curry some choices. And one of those choices are, you know, can we trade Dray Ma? The other choices can you vouch for him and can you wrangle him in and get him to buy

[00:05:23] into what we're doing? And then the third choice is, hey, if you don't do anything and we don't get to trade him, then we're not going to invest more in this team this year. And then that's a scary proposition for the Warriors because that's your franchise guy

[00:05:45] and Steph wants to be like a Kobe and stay with one organization, his entire tenure. But do not push Steph to a point where the pastures are greener because you might not like when Steph finally opens up his mouth and says, I'm cool.

[00:06:13] My legacy is set in Golden State and I would like to move on because if you thought the Dane situation was terrible, the Steph situation will be 30 times worse. See what I did there, Steph number 30 got it right.

[00:06:39] But to say this and to wrap it up, Dray Ma needs to understand what kind of friend he has instead who got him that four year deal with the player option at the end. Steph went to back for him because remember Bob Myers is no longer there.

[00:07:01] Kurt Laker runs that organization and my done leave you junior is a mouthpiece. Make no mistake about the hierarchy of what's going on at Golden State. And remember when it all went down in 2016 ownership, which if you know the name Laker, Kurt Laker is Joe Laker's son.

[00:07:29] The ownership was tired and strayed on then. The buffer was Bob Myers, Steve Kerr, and Steph Kerr. Now the buffer is Steph Kerr. Because I think quite as kept, Kurt has seen this. He played what she had lost. He played with Dennis Roddenman.

[00:07:55] He seen this type of player and this type of player archetype. And it doesn't and well, it does it because once the physical skills start to erode and you have to use more mind or intimidation to win your battle and the younger guy,

[00:08:19] the younger lion is looking at you going like, I'm not scared of you, oh man. It started to happen to LeBron like two years ago. I started to see people test him. Now, all of it, he was injured and he had less over team.

[00:08:41] But people started to test him. People were tested to him now. It's not going great, but people were testing him now. Same thing for Dreamline. Because remember, at the end of the day, Dreamline is six foot five. 240 pounds. Now, in today's NBA, that's still pretty big.

[00:09:15] Oh, hold on. We got the Minnesota Timberwolf who have Rudy Go Bear and call Anthony Towns, who are combined to 14 feet. And average weight is about 275 pounds. Okay. Oh, we got the Lakers Anthony Davis with LeBron James, who are 611 and 688 or 690 respectively.

[00:09:46] LeBron is 260 and AD is now like 255. And more athletic than you. Oh, and then we got Nicole Yokehge, who's just 611, 285 fluctuates to 300 pounds, absolutely which with the basketball. And your antics to Nicole Yokehge are comedy because he doesn't care.

[00:10:23] So they're stuck in a West that is absolutely huge. Not even talk about, okay, see, I didn't talk about the speed variant of Sacramento. I didn't talk about any of these things, but Golden State wants to stay relevant.

[00:10:41] In this West, I wonder what kind of friend Steph Curry is about to be. I'm not going even hold you it's Saturday and the reason why we're recording this part on Saturday is because some things happen in the NBA last night that I want to check up on.

[00:11:03] And then we'll get to the rest of the pot that we were going to do. So my apologies, pod is late. It's late because some big things went down. First and foremost, we didn't need to talk about the next point guard Jalen Brunson.

[00:11:20] Jalen Brunson had an incredible game last night. He put up a 50-barger on the Phoenix Suns. He shot 17 or 23 from the field. He also shot 9 from 9 from 3. He had 5 stools in the game. He had 9 assists with 6 rebounds. And Brunson did not miss a shot in the second half.

[00:11:50] Absolutely unconscious. We need to give his brother his flowers for that 50-barger that he put on Phoenix. I really unfortunate thing happened in that game. We need light of Bradley Bill and his unavailability or whatever you want to call it.

[00:12:13] But it was such an ugly twisting of the ankle right now they're categorizing it as a spring ankle. Don't frill. Nobody saw that. We all saw it. The thing is that nobody wants to see it, especially like that. And he was just coming back.

[00:12:36] Four minutes into his second game. That's where we are. Now we're in a situation where we have no idea. We're still not going to see the Bradley Bill Kevin Durant. And Kevin Booker line up for quite some time for a while.

[00:13:03] So we wanted to get to that part of it. And then a couple other things happened last night. What? The San Antonio Squers and the Washington Wizards. They snapped their losing streaks. San Antonio beat the Lakers 1-29-1-15. Kevin was a monster in this game.

[00:13:25] 36 points on 12 of 19 shootings from the field. He also shot 50% from 3-5-10. When we checked in with 13 points, 15 rebounds, 5-6. And that's now the 18 game losing streak for the San Antonio Squers. He's got a lot of people who were really worried about losing streak.

[00:13:57] And worried about how it was going to affect Victor Wind by Yamaha. I understand that, but I also understand that this is a process this year. And yeah, what if you'd be great if they had like this point guard that could get when by Yamaha the basketball? Yes.

[00:14:19] But I really still want to see what he is still able to do and have the freedom to be able to do it. And I understand that sometimes that's going to come with words.

[00:14:30] But it's all the process in San Antonio, but great to see them get out the snide as of last night. We also have a win in the district. 137-1-23, the Wizards beat the Paster's last night. Jordan Pool in efficient 30 points. He had 30 points on 18 shots.

[00:14:57] He was 12 of 18 from the field. He was 3 of 4 from 3 and he had 8 assists. Kuzuma also took him with 31 points, 5 rebounds for assists. And he was 4 for 9 from 3. Both teams are a... Have a record of 4 in 20. Now, Detroit has continued their losing streak.

[00:15:29] It is past 20 games now and it is ugly. But at least these teams got off the snide and we wait for some semblance of life in Detroit at this present time. Now, let's get to some of the other things that I was going to talk about yesterday.

[00:15:49] Again, again, my apologies, but those games came. And we needed to check those out and I think it became for a more robust podcast. But a couple things that I want to talk about. We were going to talk about the Clippers. We're going to get to that.

[00:16:10] But before we talk about the Clippers, I want to talk about the Chicago Bulls. And I'm going to ask a question. It's going to sound very, you know, sports radio or, you know, first take or whatever case may be. But I will ask this question.

[00:16:30] Are the bulls better without Levine? Now, I think let's talk some context into that because a lot of people won't go all well. You're crazy or, you know, he's sick. He scores 29 points of game and all that. Those things are all true.

[00:16:47] What I'm talking about is the guy who left before the injury, who's seeing very disinterested to be there. Okay? That's the guy I'm talking about. This team seems to play with a, a vigor and excitement that was not there when we'll be in was there.

[00:17:08] Let's be honest about that. Couple other things that will come about the emergence of Kobe White. He shooting 42.8 from three point land on seven, seven and a half attempts since this whole situation.

[00:17:26] It's one game but to soon we'll play with confidence and he played with a lot of freedom. I really like what he was doing. He also seems like the packing order is being re-shuffled and it seems like everybody is more comfortable in their role.

[00:17:46] When when Levine was playing, and he wasn't involved in a play, he seemed just really disinterested. We talked about it in just a second ago. There seems to be a better recognition for Vusiveage from finding him more in spots where he can be more effective.

[00:18:05] Now, here are a couple things that you kind of need to know. Pariyahu Jake Fisher, the bulls pitched a pitch to the Cavaliers on a swap of Levine and Garland. Now I'm going to tell you right now.

[00:18:20] I don't think there's any validity, not saying that Jeff Fisher is recording his wrong. What I was saying is I don't think those talks went too far. Honestly, I'll tell you truth. And if you hear a humming in the background that's our neighbor getting his car clean.

[00:18:38] So I do apologize about that. They are five and two since Levine's foot injury, and now the book is starting to open up. Since we got to December 15th, we're going to see some notebooks opened up. We're going to talk about some guys who are possibly maybe.

[00:19:02] Maybe on the move. But I still don't think anything will happen until you know, in the January start of February. But I do have some thoughts on that too. So we'll get to those as well.

[00:19:16] But par, the Chicago Tribune's Julia Poe, she reports that several teams are checking in on Domo de Rosan. Doro, Dorozans comments were this. His main focus is ahead of him. Me being in league so long, I understand this period of time. It just comes with the occupation.

[00:19:42] And he says he really doesn't pay any money. So he doesn't seem like to wild up about the trade rumors or whatever. Now we'll say this. There was something that was reported a couple days ago that Levine had asked to be traded.

[00:19:58] And he wanted to be traded to the lakers. There's a reluctance on the lakers side at this point in time. They want to see what they have. They still have not used game Vincent really in all this year. They're just getting pretty much everybody back.

[00:20:16] Tori and Prince is playing at at a pretty good level. They just got Jerry Vanderville back. Rudy just came back like a week and a half ago. So they still do not know what they have internally. So they're still looking at that at this present time.

[00:20:37] So I don't know where Levine thinks he's going if he thinks he's going to the lakers. If there was some sort of pivot, it would have to be.

[00:20:53] I wouldn't say injury but there would have to be some something critical going on with the lakers for them to the pound on the vein because that's a heavy heavy commitment financially. One and two, you know, does he fit your team?

[00:21:08] You know, that's been my big question and everybody keeps saying all that's crazy. I'm almost a 30 point game score but it's not necessarily fit your team just to add more scoring. We'll see how the whole Phoenix experiment works out.

[00:21:25] Now, I did say that I wanted to talk about the glippers and I was harsh on the trade. I was harsh on hard and got give credit where credit is due. They're playing well. Right now, hard and is settled in to more of a facilitator role.

[00:21:44] He seems to be quite comfortable there. He had 15 assists the last game we played. He's had out of the last five games that he's played in four of them. He's had seven plus free throw attempts. And that's more like the James Harden we know, right?

[00:22:07] He's also in the last five games, 12 with 25 from three. And it just seems like there's a confidence level in him. But I think also the reemergence of one coi Leonard has also helped because his numbers are also nutty in the last five as well.

[00:22:29] So let's get to those. Okay, coi is averaging 30 points of game in last five. He's also averaging seven plus free throw attempts in the last four out of five games. Right now, the hierarchy is working. And maybe we're at those crossroads with legacy and ego meet.

[00:22:53] And guys are willing to be more of a giver to the common hole. Or we can see three guys in a couple months doing my turn your turn. It really is up to them. It's really going to be how successful the Clippers are will be up to.

[00:23:12] Can the guys and I'm talking about Paul George. I'm talking about coi Leonard. I'm talking about James Harden. Can they collectively come together and say, hey, listen, I'm going to, you know, like tonight, I'm a little off. Go ahead, James. You go ahead eat a little bit more.

[00:23:29] Paul George trying to find his role. These things are going to be critical to whatever success the Clippers have. But so far so good. Can't complain right now. They're playing well. Let's get back. Oh, the other thing currently the Clippers are 14 and 10. Back to the Bay.

[00:23:57] And the opening I talked about during my, and I talked about what he means to team and what he's doing to the team right now. The questions in San Francisco should be, how can we better serve these extended crime years of Steph Curry?

[00:24:21] This should be the only question that Kurt Lake of and Mike Dunliver Jr. should be asking themselves at this present time. And does drama now fit Steph's championship aspirations? There's another question that you have to ask yourself at this present time.

[00:24:48] I will say that I don't know what some of the meetings held, what it came, you know, what it all came to do again. I just say to Drayman, you have a really good friend in Steph Curry. Oh, here's the part where I want to get to.

[00:25:12] We're going to tie all the trade stuff. We got some other couple more trade things into a bow. But when it comes to Chicago, here's the thing that I do want to say.

[00:25:21] If you look at the east and you look at some of the records and we'll have you. Now this was I wrote this as of Friday night. We are in Saturday, so that might not be indicative of the records from last night.

[00:25:35] But there's a real question on who is going to jump out first. And what I mean by that is that you got the hawks, you got the raptors and you got the bulls. Someone is going to pull the plug first. I don't know who is going to be.

[00:25:54] I don't know when it's going to be. Now I personally have a belief that you strike early. So then now if you're going to add a piece into your team, now you have more time to assimilate that person into their role,

[00:26:16] you know, where they like the braw, et cetera, et cetera. But I will tell you this, the raptors are 10 and 14, hoxard 9 and 14, I believe they won last night. And the bulls are 10 and 16. Someone has to pull the plug.

[00:26:37] We just talked about the Chicago bulls and what they're going through. The hawks have been look great in the previous part. I think I talked about the hawks and regardless of what it is. Actually, no, we're going to talk about them right now.

[00:26:54] The John T. Murray trade y'all experiment has not worked. And something fundamentally needs to change. Trade's field goal percentage says, to 41.6 is effective field goal percentage is down to 49.3. Now in trade's best season, okay? We had a 46% field goal percentage with a effective field goal percentage of 53.6.

[00:27:25] Now, Nico believes that the offense just stalls when Murray is at the controls of the offense. Now, I have to agree with that. Now also let's talk about this. This team, the hawks have not been the same since Jayla Johnson,

[00:27:42] and the second year player out of Duke has got hurt. He's missing several gains with the wrist injury. Still, with or without Jayla Johnson, that bad court needs to be broken up, and somebody needs to make a decision on who these are staying, who needs to go.

[00:28:02] Now we spoke about Toronto in the previous part. So what I'll say to that, if you're new to the podcast, welcome. If you are getting your clips on YouTube, tapping with us and get these archive pods. Because we just talked about Toronto. We talked about the trades.

[00:28:27] We talked about who's available, who might not be available, and some of the teams that they were poking around. I just want to let everybody know that also you need tapping with us on X. My handle is at Front Runner PC,

[00:28:51] and then Nico is at At Nico F.R.P.C. We also have a YouTube channel, and that YouTube channel is Front Runner podcast collective. Go check out the clips there. We're going to have a lot more on this show as well,

[00:29:10] but we try to make it good for the masses. So what we want you to do is we want you to tell your friends, we want you to tell your mates, we want you to tell your coworkers, we want you to tell your grocery store clerks,

[00:29:25] we want you to tell your cleaner, we want you to tell your clergy. And we also want you to tell that telemarketer that calls you at approximately 315 every afternoon. So tell everybody you know Front Runner, podcast collective, download the pods,

[00:29:44] get the pods, also go on the YouTube page, and build a community. That's what we're trying to do. It's a grassroots situation. You know right now I'm able to comment on things, but we want you guys to build your own community of who pets.

[00:30:02] We want you to build your own community of thoughts and what have you when it comes to the NBA and to the draft and to the front offices and things of that nature. We got some more exciting things to come. So you guys bear with us,

[00:30:17] but we are getting to those two pods a week as we talked about. The other thing that we need to get to is this, there was a, okay, I want to tell you about it and then I want to say something about it.

[00:30:42] Per Mark Stein on his self stack says that Lori marketing, according to Stein, Utah has moved off the untouched pool status of Lori marketing. Now I honestly think that Lori marketing might be the low key move the needle trade guy and if this is true, man,

[00:31:15] I don't know what it will take to get them. I'm thinking that Danny age, you know? Danny is looking for another bow nanda in that situation. You know he got seven pigs from Minnesota, right? He got some pigs from Atlanta. So he's doing well in the pig department

[00:31:38] and I'm sure he's looking to stop pile pigs. Make sure he has an interesting thought on pick stock filing. He said, you know, okay, see his model of getting like your guy and then in a sense, grafting the other guy and then just as your guys

[00:32:07] or you start to see certain guys not fit, trade them for more pigs. That was his thought just continue to continue to take bites out of the apple. So you have a guy that's attractive on your team, you know? For instance, let's go,

[00:32:29] I'm trying to think of somebody who's young might need a fresh start or the little guy who's a little bit more than I thought. Okay, let's say like okay, we were just talking about Atlanta real quick, right? So you got several pieces.

[00:32:51] You have now a neck of conglue that you're trying to work in. You have Jaylin Johnson. You know, you still have the Andre Hunter. You have AJ Griffin. So on and so forth. So I know now that the Atlanta Hawks are draft pick poor, right?

[00:33:11] Because they gave up a lot to get the John Tay Murray. But let's say they were in a position where the John Tay Murray was on that team, right? You just went and they had all their pigs. Now you started to see that the John Tay Murray

[00:33:25] and trade weren't working out and you could trade one of those guys and get like three first rounders back. And then you have another guy in like Clint Coppola who could probably get you a first rounder and a couple seconds or maybe a protected first second first rounder.

[00:33:44] And then you have a guy like DeAndre Hunter and you kind of got sedeed Bay as well and you kind of go on like what's one do we want to keep? Which one do we want to get rid of? Whatever, this is the type of thing

[00:33:56] that Nico was talking about. And okay see, set up brilliantly for that. And what I also say is that Mif is low key is set up for that as well. Mif is has their own picks. You started to see that certain guys aren't

[00:34:15] maybe exactly what you thought they were and maybe because of where you are this year maybe you move on from a loop canard, right? Get a pick for them whatever. You always just want to take a couple more bites out of the apple you never know.

[00:34:37] We just talked about Jaylin Brunson, right? Jaylin Brunson wasn't this like lottery pick? You know, Janis back into the lottery. Step back into the lottery. Nicole Yoke, second round. This is why we are also going to start focusing on in on the draft.

[00:35:01] But I just wanted to get Nico's points out there because it was brilliant and I wanted to appreciate my guy who's coming back shortly. Now, I want to get to a segment that we call the collective draft notes. I'm going to do on a couple little scouting.

[00:35:24] Like I said, we're giving you little brushes of it. We're going to have a top 10 list in January and that's going to be on the website. So look out for that and they'll be a pod attached to it as well. So look for top 10 drop in January.

[00:35:43] Nico, myself and a couple other working on it collaborating on it. But I wanted to give you a couple guys that I've been looking at and just kind of go over and go from there. The first guy that we're going to talk about is Kevin McCuller Jr.

[00:36:01] He's 22 years old. He's a senior out of Kansas. He's six lit seven. He's 214 pounds. Now, what I like about him is he's the ideal size for today's wing, right? Six lit seven, 214 pounds. Here's some of the good things. He's at aggressive slasher. So moving it without the ball,

[00:36:27] not a problem whatsoever. He's a solid decision maker on ball. So the thing that you're going to have with him is that if he becomes a better corner at three shooter, he will also be able to take that ball and initiate a secondary offense from that position.

[00:36:49] He can't do it. He can't do it. He can't pass. So he solid about the those. Here's a high defensive IQ, right? Here's great hand anticipation, deflections, things of that nature. He's a minute on the defensive side of the ball if you let him loose.

[00:37:10] The shooting is the concern. And that's always going to be a concern with these guys. It's like in the shot, become more efficient. Can you hit it at a higher level? Because they're going to leave you wide open. And he's done great strides on this,

[00:37:30] but we still need to see more because this is a small sample size. So let's get through the whole year and see where we go. But I just wanted to kind of highlight him a little bit because I think what you're going to see in this draft,

[00:37:45] this draft will take to it. You're hearing things like this is a bad draft and all this. I'm here to tell you that this is not a bad draft. What it is, it's a less sexy draft. Okay? There's a difference. A less sexy draft. Yes.

[00:38:02] You can probably have less players that are going to really make any sort of real impact in the NBA. That's no doubt. The other thing is is that you're going to have guys that are going to have like less a rolled on teams. This might not be the,

[00:38:17] you might not get your, your bat, your robin to your batman in this, in this draft. You might not get the, the third piece to your triangle in to make you whole. But what you might get is a fifth starter. You might get a rotation piece.

[00:38:41] You might get a defensive splashy list. You might get somebody who can initiate offense. But these are all guys who might be in that light and no disrespect because you can make a lot of money being the sixth to eighth guy in a rotation.

[00:38:59] But I think we do have a lot of those type of guys. I think they also might need some work. So it might be impeded, imperative to get them into the G league, get your system down, whatever. And this might be something that you might not necessarily see

[00:39:18] the fruits the first year. But I think that there's a lot of guys in this draft that will probably play for, you know, eight to 12 years. But Kevin Coley is one of them. Another guy that I wanted to kind of tell you about.

[00:39:33] Then I really like off the, off the rip. And then he's kind of slow down a little bit. He is Carlton Carrington. He's the 18 year old freshman from Pittsburgh, the University of Pittsburgh. The one thing that stands out about him is that he's 65, 190. He's great size.

[00:39:51] He is a terrific playmaker. Okay? He has size high IQ. He gets the ball in and out. He's a versatile shot maker, but the three point shot is, you know, it's not where I kind of wanted to be, but he's young and also, you know,

[00:40:14] I think there's a lot of growth potential there. The other thing is this that I do have a problem with. I need to see more tax to the rim. So far, he's not been using his physicality at 65, 190 in his terrific skills to get to the hole.

[00:40:33] The other thing that has me kind of a little worry at what his frame and his ability to move, the three steals no blocks, not being able to use your physical traits to impose your will on defense. That's something the monitor as well. Okay?

[00:40:51] And last guy I want to talk about, it was kind of a guy who was getting some buzz last year. Play that Florida state, then when overseas is bogey-clantment. Now, he's a 20 year old wing. He's six eight, he's 225,

[00:41:08] so you know he's going to hit the round run in physicality wise. He flashes a lot of open-coar ability with the ball handling. He's a slasher. He can get his nice touch with runners and he finishes. Like if there's a ball that bounces up

[00:41:29] the rim, tip-ducks are his thing. Those are his jam. Jam, Whoa, Jam, Whoa, Jam, Teddy, John with me. That's a little music into low for you. So now, getting back to a little crowing-clantment, outside shot, it was something that he was working on at Florida State

[00:42:01] for some reason. It has, he's completely abounded it. I don't know why that could cause an issue for him. But other thing is, is that I want him to get quicker recognizing where he needs to be when the switches start to come. Getting out to his man,

[00:42:22] you know, in the corners. Those type of things can be cleaned up, but those are the type of things that I'm seeing. So those, that is your collective draft notes. Sponsored by iPhones. You know what I'm saying? I love my iPhone. iPhone's a great. You should have one.

[00:42:47] All right. What one are your fantasy? Let's get to it. Nicole Yokeh has 10 triple doubles this year. Nicole Yokeh in the last seven seasons has 10 triple doubles. So seven straight seasons, a double digit triple doubles for our guy Nicole Yokeh in Denver who is just doing it.

[00:43:13] Okay? He's doing it. Listen, we can argue about MVP's and all that. Now, let's two early in the season. We don't need to get to any of that until like 35, 40 games into the season. But I just need people to understand what this cat is doing in Denver.

[00:43:37] He is orchestrating the offense, playing center, grabbing 13, 14, and re-grounds again. And he is the not just the offensive hub, but when it breaks down, that dude is getting buckets. So he carries a heavy load in Denver. And I think sometimes, we see the numbers.

[00:44:05] We see the 2018 and 13 and we just go up. Another great Yokeh's game. Which it is. But let's appreciate this brother. Let's appreciate him. I know he doesn't like to do a lot of media, but we still go shout out our guy. Nicole Yokeh, so congratulations to him.

[00:44:24] He's got the 10 triple doubles this year in a seven straight seasons. Dude is an absolute sorcerer. Okay? And then let's get to the Yonna saying, okay, I'm not going to get into the whole beef about the basketball and whatever case you need to be.

[00:44:43] Here's the one stat that I found really interesting. Yonna became the first player in VA history to make 20 field goals. 20 free throws. While shooting at least 70% in both. So I'll read that again. Yonna's was the first player in VA history so 77 years.

[00:45:10] They can some of the bigs and the grades of yesterday right? Like will other people right? Yonna's first player in VA history. 20 field goals made. 23 throws made. While shooting 70 at least 70% in both. Congratulations to Yonna's getting 64 points. Putting buckets on a hit. Putting buckets on Indiana's hit.

[00:45:41] And then the whole game ball situation was a fiasco and it seemed like everybody was acting like they were 13 years old but we don't need to get into all that. All right man, that's it for the pod. You know, I just want to appreciate you guys.

[00:45:56] Thank you so much for hanging in there with us. And again, it was one of those situations where yesterday Bronson went off and I was like, well, I need a second to really like think about what just happened. So again, shout out to Jalen Bronson

[00:46:13] of the New York Nix. I know that they are blue and orange skies and Gotham today. I know a lot of my New Yorkers out there. Got their timelands in the air. You know what I'm saying? Because Jalen Bronson put a 50 $50 on Phoenix.

[00:46:34] All right, you guys have a good rest of your weekend. I will see you back on this feed on Monday and y'all be cool. Peace. Oh, you are ready.
