Local Hour: Bam Adebayo Becomes A Legend

The door is full of respect.

“Just open the door and then open the door.”

No, not at all. This door is my safe space. Hmm. Do you all know everything? Yes, exactly.

This door is like the door. They simply understand it. In the game, the studio, the job or the sound. The door is closed. It doesn't feel like the door is closed.

The door is closed? Safe. With this door. Jeremy. It's not a word.

Anyone at this morning? He's preining though. Like he's walking around like a peacock. But normally, like he's shot out of a cannon. Yeah, can't shot him up.

Can't shot him up. And he thinks he's being slick by having not said anything yet. I would follow you down this if he wasn't on with Samson for an hour, bragging.

I'm saving it because I was told I'll be getting the first 83 minutes of the show to myself.

I did think actually that it was quiet around here and I hadn't realized that it's because he was doing the Samson show nothing personal because David had to tend to some family matters. So Jeremy was doing a different show where nationally he was annoying that audience. A whole new audience just doing hyperventilating.

Don't annoy other audiences just here because the way you all have positioned me as if I don't know what I'm talking about. We've positioned you. You don't think you've put yourself in that position at all. You think that I was likeable until I got here.

I tell you over and over again because I'm right about everything. You were not likeable before you got here. Yes, I was. It's the only reason I have any of the jobs I have is because I was likeable. I wasn't a professional.

Hey, now I'm a professional. Hey, let's loosen up the shoulders a little bit. It's a big day for you.

You don't need to, you're not backed up against a corner even though you literally are on this

show. Yep. Just this is your day. Have fun, man. Enjoy it.

Yes, but it's good. You're right. I came in feeling a little defensive, but I did want this to sort of be a choose your own adventure. Either we could all decide together that we can celebrate this really cool moment where

one of the pillars and the franchise that we all care about, history, set a record for point scored in a game that was actually televised or I could be an asshole and I really hope it's the first one. Are you threatening us? Well, when you come.

I'm telling you what it's doing. I'm just telling you what it's going to be. What it's going to be. Wow, Dan. Did you hear that?

Woo, that sounds like a movie post to right there. That sounds like something Denzel would say in the equalizer. Are you threatening me? No. I'm just telling you factually what it's going to be.

That's how it's going to be. Has anyone ever brought this energy after beating the wizards? Happy Jeremy was right day. There it is. I do enjoy Zazlo the idea of him angrily saying, I'm

likeable. I like the character of defensive guy claiming he's likeable in the face of people not like him. Jeremy's right day.

“But like, what was he right about exactly because you have to have a prediction?”

Like, it's all like he's like, you know what, Bams going to score 60 tonight. And it's like you all have been trading Bametabio for years. It's a great time to say. And I've been telling you, he's a superstar, which he is actual NBA legend would really work in the Heat's favor if the trade deadline in Pasco was going on.

You guys are mystetic. This is the done leba partial with this two-guards podcast. Simone Fontecchio with 18 points last night. Jeremy, the floor, the entire floor today is yours. Go ahead, celebrate your Bametabio Miami Heat Bametabio passes by the NFL news.

It never stops. Are you kidding? Making news according to our email of the Ravens are signing formal Bengals all pro defensive and trade and drugs in. You swap out one white guy for another white guy, four-time pro-bolar brings his

81 career sex to Baltimore after they rescinded the Max Cross me trade on Tuesday night death. That is excellent breathlessness. The only thing to be breathless about today. A big deal.

Yeah, that is a pass russia. Those are valuable last night.

“I think people were fairly shocked when the raiders announced, the raiders announced that”

the Ravens had pulled out of the Crosby deal, which made me feel like this is more than just a failed physical. Doctors have a lot of leeway on whether a team can or wants to do something. I don't know. Of course, you're going to fail a physical, he's coming up with knee surgery, like it's

knees not working, right? People know that, but I'd like to know more of the details of what happened there, because that was super strange that the raiders put out the Ravens business and then said, we'll have no further comment at this time. It was just a real quick press release that made me think, oh, there's more here.

A four years, $112 million for trehendrickson.

So this is the path for choosing. It's a big deal. Imagine. How many crew sacks did you say? 81.

81? Yeah, it was a little rude. Wow. Two fewer sacks than Bam had points in a basketball game last night. You're taking from a division rival to bolster your own team.

If you want, we could talk about the heart of a champion, which was on full display in Sunrise last night. Yeah. And on Sunrise.

“Last night was a where were you moment in South Florida sports?”

And we're worried when Sam Bennett got his 200th career assists. You are pathetic people. That was in the press box. They were down three two with what was at 40 seconds left. Been in a change.

But you guys have been telling me for six weeks, their season is over. Tony hasn't even two. Where are they? They're at the very bottom back of the conference. Nobody wants to answer me.

How many games you left in this season? How many points are they back? Let me, let's take it the last night. Down three two against a Detroit red wings or better than them. And they're chasing this team in the standings.

They pull their goalie swaggy equalizes and like he did that faithful night in Boston that started this whole run swaggy calls game in regulation fourth three and Panther fans everywhere Googled NHL standings and found their team still second bottom in the league. Is this true for the first time and I'd say about two weeks? I took a look at the standings last night.

It was humbling conference, not league. Conference. Eastern conference. Yeah. That season as the oilers are that we're in the, if the Panthers were in the West,

we'd be talking right now about how the Panthers have a chance to three feet. Yeah. And that seems unfair. What else? Anything else?

Mike was rooting for Italy yesterday after the United States manager didn't realize that the United States had not qualified. This is startling in terms of bone-headed stuff done by somebody in charge. I don't believe you've seen a whole lot in your life where a guy for the USA goes into a game thinking he's clinched and he's advanced and then they're down eight nothing

against Italy. Against Italy. Who the hell are they doing? John Birdie and Den boys. Like is that Jacob Marcie?

Oh, I was right. I was right. Now you're speaking my language. Jorge Posada on the staff. Yeah.

Look, I'm part of Italian. I root for Italian national team sports, except for when they play the USA.

But my relationship with baseball is not at the greatest place and that was an incredible

underdog story and the way that the U.S. approached that game has kind of ruined against them. And the Rosa, perhaps an undercover agent. So what do you guys make of this and how often have you seen what happened with Mark the Rosa, the manager of the United States where he just doesn't seem to understand going

into the game, what the stakes of the game are. Go ahead and play that. You got nine bodies ready to roll today. I would imagine. Absolutely.

I'm going to look at it. I'm going to get some guys off their feet. No question about it. I'd like to get Goldie a start and you know, he has been awesome just a leader of men behind the scenes with Aaron.

Judge, I'd like to get him in there. I'd like to get Connor in there again. Connor respect for Italy. It's weird. We want to win this game even though our tickets punch to the quarterfinals.

Because Mexico plays Italy actually tomorrow. So the way the schedule lines up to some important game for us. How is that possible? How was somebody in charge not understanding?

“When I say to you, what does this person need to understand going into the game?”

What can this person not not understand? It's what are the stakes of this game? The great part is he starts talking and then like halfway through he realized like, oh wait, maybe this is not, I don't really know what we need to do. So I'm going to get, you know, it's a game we want to win obviously.

Like if someone on the other side of the cameras, we need a win. It's actually a tournament. It's a tournament. I don't know who's on Italy. Please get for me, who's on Italy.

But Mike, you found yourself actively rooting for Italy, rooting against the United States.

Like I said, I tend to root for Italian national teams, but I always root for the USA when

they're head to head, but as that's, as the Italians grew into their lead and social media started putting Dorosis arrogance out there, I was like, well, you deserve this embarrassment. Well, it was stupidity, not arrogance, right? I mean, they're one and the same. The way that he came off there was both arrogant and stupid in retrospect.

America right now? No. Right. Who believe it? No, we don't.

“But America, how dare you call America and say we're coming off as arrogant and stupid?”

I mean, going into an event, not knowing the situations, ramifications, having a exit

Iran?

“Well, I was trying to do that more simply.”

Yeah, I know. When you got to exit strategy, you, I, I had my joke lined up before you got to exit strategy, but I'm still mad at you because, because he doesn't understand anything about my immediate basketball. We'll get to that story in seconds.

Jacob Bertie's on the team, or John Bertie, one of the two. Jacob Marcie John Bertie. Yeah. They got James. We will get to what it is that BAM out of bio did in just a second.

But my favorite part of yesterday's show were twofold. One happened on air. One happened after the show off air. My favorite part of yesterday's show is that Stan Van Gundys spent a full hour talking to Jonathan Zazlo, who he's known.

He's known for 20 years, and he never commented on a burgeoning eyebrow situation that made

him over the course of yesterday's show. Looked by the end of the show, like someone that we were talking about, we need to be careful how much black we put on his face here because we don't want to have a vulnerable spot. So much eyebrows here that we cross over into a dangerous place where we go past the Ben Shapiro eyebrows.

That's spectacular. That Stan Van Gundys never commented on that. Just kept staring at you, and you've just got giant, unreasonably not human eyebrow. But also what I enjoyed yesterday is my raging against a puppet that looks like me. My screaming and yelling at a puppet that I've now given two Tony, so that Tony can

start working with this puppet we had this professionally made. This is the first time the puppet's actually been on the screen. You'll have a puppet, despite being here for two days and I was trying to integrate it. Well, you're man at all of the logistics, but you took out that rage on the puppet.

The puppet does look someone like me, it should have been made heavier.

The beard is a little grayer than it should be. We've had to paint the hair black because the hair. Poor pants up a little bit. He's a belt. Jesus.

Wait a minute, this has become a pornographic show. No, it's that I can't get my hand all the way up here. Last one of the issues about it. Anyway, we will see what happens with the puppet. I don't like that.

What do you mean? What does that mean? That's this makes me uncomfortable. Makes two of us. The nudity of the puppet?

Yeah, the existence of the puppet in general. I like the Lebe puppet in general, but it's got its pants down. It also has four fingers on each hand. I don't know why it is that this puppet. Everybody else here?

It's only a four. Yeah, I might not have that. Put it on the pole at Lebetyart Show.

“Does everyone know that puppets have only four fingers on each hand?”

But we have pulled around long enough. I really do want to talk about what it is that happened last night because I assume only Miami thinks that that is a good and fun thing. I'm going to assume that today all over the media, you will get people fervently, passionately and religiously, protecting the honor of the late Kobe Bryant by feeling

like Bam outta Bios named doesn't belong beyond Kobe Bryant in scoring in a game. So the first thing I want to ask you guys is, ridiculous though this is. Bam outta Bios scores 83 points in a game. Is that the single best performance by a Miami heat player in heat history? Yes or no?

No. Not remotely close to a goat performance, not remotely close to people talking about. And look, he's right. Let him cook. Let me say like you take in context.

This is a proud franchise that has played plenty of important games that have had incredible

performances and in more key games off the top of the dome, Jimmy Butler, game five in the bubble going shop for shot with Lebetyart Show in 2003. Regular season is what I was talking about. This is the greatest regular season performance in heat history not closets to go. So regular season versus postseason, you guys didn't even mention Lebron game six in Boston

is the single the one greatest performance in Miami heat single season single game history. Yeah, we were leaving the goat to you. This gold conversation is presented by Frank's Red Hot, make every dish the greatest. Eat the goat. Hello friends.

“Quick break to tell you about a special miller time I had with my good buddy Mochetta.”

Mochetta texted me the other day, he said, "Hey, what are you doing for the game?" And I said, "I'm just on my couch right now, doing nothing, enjoying it." He said, "Okay, do you want some company?" I said, "From you Mochetta?" Absolutely.

Mochetta comes over to the house and I pull out the miller light. Miller light made that casual hang, a memorable, good miller time with my good friend Mochetta.

Because Miller light brought us together, we took that first sip after we toasted our beers,

“Last night, something happened with heatbasketball that I believe is going to be found offensive”

by basketball purists, by the nation at large. It is only going to be celebrated here. Let's get some of the criticism that is just rolling in from last night. Here is Rocket's Coach, Eme, Udoca. I don't know if you saw that BAM at a bio had 83 points tonight, just I'm sure you

know BAM, what are your thoughts on that, and such a historic night?

Yeah, but I mean, first thing you think is how, you know, because of not because of them,

but because of the way he plays, you know, and I saw only made 6-3s, but 40-3-thos or something like that. It tells the story right there, and the Washington Wizards. That's such a good side swipe, but the end. I mean, it's true when I saw it was 43.

That's what I was like. What? Yeah, which was shocking enough, but then the pause, lipsis, Washington Wizards. The crazy part is that they were all legitimate fouls. Like at the end?

No. I mean, sure. Yes, okay. Sure. What?

Did it touch him? They hacked him. He took the ball, late in the game, after playing all those minutes, drove in, and got hacked. Like, the ability to escape with four minutes left in the game, they started triple teeming him, and he's getting out of the game, and he was playing like Martian Lynch.

There was at one time that Eric Reed touted his unselfishness, but he passed the ball, can you believe? Wait a minute. Wait a minute. No, it's better than that, Mike, because it was that I wrote it down, because it was the

single, funniest thing in the entire broadcast, funnier than even the challenges at the end. No. The funniest thing in the broadcast is what I'm about to read, because this is an exact quote from Eric Reed.

“Late in the third quarter, Bam, who's being now triple teemed on fade away jumpers, okay?”

Because the wizard you're just like, this is embarrassing enough, we're going to put four guys on him. Eric Reed says, and they have this point, because there's no Tyler here, because there's no Norman Powell, because there's no Wiggen, okay? They are spending the entire broadcast talking about someone in Bam, who they've talked

about for nine years, so they've gone to the reservoir bank of he's such a good person, so many times. Like he's just, he's a good player, but he's even better as a person, like they've talked about this human being so much for nine years. They don't have anything to say, and they can't talk about any of the players, but this

is what Eric Reed has said.

In fact, I'm going to stop for a second and give you the second funniest thing that he

said, because the second funniest thing he said was, another time out for the helpless Washington wizards, I have empathy for them. That's something that he actually said, but the thing that he said that was the funniest is, Bam didn't get greedy, he passed it to an open teammate, that's the essence of your captain.

It was his second assistant, the game. He was already a 70 points and it's a 37 shots, a 37 shots and there were 70 guys on him. There were wizards from the Pat Rod Strickland ran on the court and was guarding him. I saw a cover chain. So what happened in the end of that game, the last five minutes ruined it, the way that

it's going to be nationally perceived. So let's get to some more sound, because here's J.J. Radick talking about Bam on a bio and protecting Kobe's legacy.

It's incredible what he was able to do.

I walked in and I saw the score, he was at the free throw, and I saw the score, kind of baby plant, great basketball, baby, and I sent to my coaching staff, he was all kind of looked together, they're like, are you kidding right now, because I know it's up there, they're 36 and 20, it really are, he's ready to be 37 and 20 and there was no band has 77 and I was a hunt and then I watched the last three minutes and I was just different type of basketball.

Let's go to Robert Ori, also going to protect some of Kobe Bryant's legacy here. There's going to be a lot of this today. 3 from Bam out of bio.

“Oh my goodness, you know, those are one of those things you have to see here.”

I got 43 shots, 43 free throws, I saw some highlights, you know, if y'all know it's been a show came back, I was looking at the highlights of Bam, I'm like, let me just say this, 83 points is impressive, you know, but it gets so pointy where you have to respect the game. And I think there was moments in this game where it was not respected, but still the 83

points is a lot, I appreciate the effort, and it's going to go down as we know the second

most of the game, but it's like, you always say, you'll certainly, you should have a extra

fight. I'm put to action by this. It's still a lot, I'm not taking away 15, they've been, it's a lot. I didn't think I'd be saying this today, but both of these things on the pole is 83 points impressive and is 83 points a lot, put both of those on the pole.

And here is Tim McMahon, an outraged podcaster, giving voice, I'm sure to what a lot of people will be saying today.

“You are like, he's jacking up threes while being trouble-teamed, I mean, it was just, it honestly”

was just awful, hideous, disgusting, basketball down the stretch that I admit I was cracking up laughing while watching, but I never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, want to hear about heat, culture and professionalism and all that crap again, because that was the most blatant stat chasing I've ever seen, honestly, there was the worst stat chasing since Ricky Davis tried to get a rebound on the wrong basket to get a triple double.

But the difference is this was minutes and minutes and minutes and minutes and extend the game stat chasing. So it was embarrassing for the lizards, agree just for the heat, but hey, you got your 83. Yeah, I enjoyed the ethical 39 by Winby Moore, and I enjoyed the Greek to 83, but I'm old, I'm grumpy, I admit it.

I mean, take it easy on the, you know, 30 plus years of heat, culture and hard work and the

the wizards.

We slow down for a second.

The lizards. The lizards. Like, can we slow down for a, like, Tim McMahon's really good at what he does, but take it easy. All right.

This performance last night by BAM, and you heard a lot of it right there.

“I think you're going to hear, I think today is going to be rather ugly.”

The reaction, this performance is not going to be remembered finally. It's, it's just, it's just not part of it is by heat fans, it will be heat fans. It will be, and every one of that building last night had a great time and that's really important. Okay.

But this game is not going to be remembered fondly because the final, it was like five minutes or whatever was a lot of bullshit and I will tell you, the bullshit started with the wizards. Okay. The wizards were doing the bullshit.

They're, they're, they're double, I've never seen it before.

They're double and triple teaming BAM full court, not even like an imbalance play in the front court. Full court, they're double and triple teaming in a game that he'd erupt by 25 points. And so then the heat's response that is, okay, we're going to do bullshit too and we're going to foul and so that we can get the ball back and then we're going to, and the

wizards, and the heat are both going to challenge plays with under two and a half minutes left and key shot Johnson is going to miss a free throw on purpose so that BAM can try and get the offensive rebound.

“Like it was, it was a lot of nonsense in the final few minutes that unfortunately I think”

is going to have people speaking about this performance in an extremely negative fashion as we heard right there, when the reality of it is, for three and a half quarters, BAM was in, well, red or bold. The first quarter was more impressive than the rest of the game to me. That first quarter is the best quarter I've ever seen a heat player play any quarter, any

time. I mean, Tim McMan, comparing this to Ricky Davis, trying to get his own rebound is just ridiculous. Ridiculous. Well, he's saying stat padding and put it on the poll at Levitard Show are okay with

changing the name of the Washington wizards to the Washington lizards because they should have, actually, it should be the Washington lizards because we should put elves where they have double-years. I like that. I thought that that was the best part of what Tim McMan said, but I do want to celebrate

“some portions of this in a way that is not sarcastic, okay?”

First of all, I hear so much about load management and I hear so much about the players in that sport being not what you expect them to be. This guy playing that hard in a way that made his teammates so happy for him that at the end of it, they were all thrilled in basketball where you guys make all of these guys selfish. So thrilled for this guy because they know specifically how hard he has worked and that

is first six seasons in the league.

He never in any season took as many threes as he took last night because he's improved

his game and we've all watched it. Now you may think that this isn't a superstar, the standard was putting absurd place by Wade and Shack and LeBron and Bosh and so this guy is criminally undervalued in this city because he's not good enough to win a championship by himself, but he is based on where he's been drafted.

The perfect example of Miami Heat Culture perhaps better than any we've ever had because he didn't develop a lot in some morning, they had to go get him from somebody else. This is a player that we saw come into this league super raw and he's a pillar in this community like represents this franchise in a wonderful way, but his name doesn't belong between will and Kobe and people are going to get really mad at how he got there because

the previous 70 point performances and he's also a victim of the distortion of basketball because all of the plus 60 games a lot of them are in the last five years because people can shoot threes so you've got, you know, damn going for 70, 14 free throws in a game, Luke are going for 73, 16 free throws in a game, the Kobe game of 81, 23 throws in the game, and B got 23 free throws in a 70 point game, but what they did last night that the heat

were enjoying does go against what they usually stand for because they did make a mockery out of basketball with the help of the Washington Wizards who are not a professional basketball franchise, so careless with the ball in that first half, I was laughing at Tony last night while watching my television, wait a second, what do we do about me? What I said had nothing to do with the Wizards are heading in the right direction, they close that game to ten at one point,

limited time offer. Dan lebertard, it sounds to me like everybody could use a hug because

a hug is always the right size, still gots, all I have put in my body today is three cups of coffee

in an entire couple of quarter the panel backs, don't let him fool you, he said in the break that he's jittery. Before we go any further though let's examine the difference between how Miami is experiencing this and how the country is about to experience it because I think the greatest indignity here against the respecting of basketball is that somebody who is beloved who died in a helicopter had 81 points and was rightfully second on a historic list that

basketball's distortions couldn't compromise and the way this game was played last night was silly. Nobody goes to the game to watch a record number of free throws from a single player, 43 throws, he made more free throws in a game than anyone ever has and he took more free throws

in a game than anyone ever has and it's because they played in the entire second half and the whole

point of what everyone was doing because they know the heater above average and the wizards are historically bad cannot win basketball games on the road at all. The wizards exist basically to be the Washington generals. Can we look up the record of the Washington generals all time against

“the Harlem Globe trotters because that's what it felt like last night. You had everything. I expected”

at one point bam to take a bucket of confetti and throw it at some kids in the first row pretending it's a bucket of water because it's the signature Harlem Globe trotters mode. I would have preferred knowing what we know now and you knew this was going to be the reaction once the game ended. You knew that there was a lot of venom based on not just passing Kobe Bryant, but also the way it went down of course the last few minutes. No one we know now,

like I would have preferred that he left the game with like five or six minutes left. A game that was not endowed anymore and he had like 74 points or whatever like that and we didn't get to the wizards doing the nonsense and then the heat responding with their own nonsense. I don't know what the crowd reaction would have been if they took bam out in the middle of the fourth quarter. He had 74 points so close. You know to cope with it. You cannot care. You cannot care

about what anyone else thinks. It's about the people in that huddle. It's not even got your car.

“Like, Spow was in a weird spot because all airspelcers you should take a mile. Like the game”

was in doubt. You got to respect the game. You have to do whatever bam at a mile once in that spot. If he wants to stay in the game and go for the record, he stays in the game and goes for the record. I thought it was fun, right? Like you look around and it's like this is something that is so out of character for Spow. A foul. So we can get the shots. It's like what you want to see from your coach is being behind the guy who's having this up. Do you think the heat would have

done that because you saw Spow was signal for that? Would the heat have done that? Would air exposure have called for that if the wizards weren't playing the way that they were playing? No, no way. My guess is no. It all started. Bam was going to get there. Like the way he was scoring and the way he was getting to the line naturally. He was going to get to this point whether the wizards, like if the wizards had continued to play with the pace that the game had been

going at before the final fourth 30. Why could they just play him straight up like grown man?

“Yeah, it was crazy because he owned him. That's why minutes and 30 seconds left in the game.”

They started triple teaming him before he got the ball. And it was so funny because on the broadcast, Eric Reed said something to the effect of like up. Well, pride is starting to kick in as they don't want him to chase the record. Pride is starting to kick in. Like six wins on the season. John Croddy said like, oh, my pride probably would have started kicking in somewhere around the

middle of the third quarter as he had 60 something points. Like it was crazy to see an

air-green earlier in the game. Not even talking about Bam referring to the the wizards defense as non-confrontational, which made Croddy laugh out loud. But the crazy part is, Bam probably gets there on his own without all of this because of the way he was getting to the line. You see, I mean, instead, there's so much silliness that it doesn't make a difference, though.

Oh, I disagree with that. No, you want to know why? Because do you know how Kobe did it?

I do know how he did. He took 13 of 17 shots for the Lakers in the fourth quarter. He took seven free throws at the end to get to that record. But also, do you want to point out that that was a game that the Raptors were ahead most of the game? And Kobe said he won, let the Lakers still come back. And then, and then they were up by, like, 18 points.

“But that's why we know with, with five minutes to go. Well, it's as you remember the details on the”

Kobe Toronto game, Jalen Rose certainly remembers the details. But when we criticize this as many people will do, Odoca just did it. It happened against the wizards. Nobody remembers who will did it against that does not matter. We're not sure that it actually happened that too. You mentioned John Croddy earlier. That wasn't the funniest thing about the broadcast with John Croddy. It was at one point in the first quarter where Eric Reed was like, and John, tell us what it feels like to

be in his own like this. And he's like, how would I know? How would I possibly know? I never had

anything like that. The Kobe fan perspective as you guys are highlighting that was certainly an interesting prism to to view this thing through and beloved. I would say the one pushback that I would have and as made some good points is that was also in Kobe's character. I think this is objectively hilarious that BAM out of bio of all people when the whole thing around this player for his entire career is be more aggressive. Decided, you know what, for once, I'm going to eat

averages four and a half free throws again. For once, I'm going to be spam out of bio. And I'm going to make this happen for myself. And I'm glad that you mentioned the fans in that arena. They looked

“like they were having that time. Yeah, I've been positioned as the heat hater just because I think”

this is another lost season that ends with them not getting out of the first round. And I will be

right about that. But I think that, look, the Miami heat as Duane Wade, the face of this franchise said, they needed a buzz. This town needed to be woken up. And BAM said that much in the post game. So it spoke. Yeah. And he finally did something to to wake this market up. I would say that both nationally and locally and I'm afraid the ratings pair this out. This is as irrelevant as this basketball team. This proud basketball team has been maybe ever. And they got blessed them for having

that night and deciding, you know what, we're not going to be the culture, no fun team. We're going to have fun for the people in that building. BAM out of bio of all people is going to go for this record. Well he's the perfect guy for the team. And it was really enjoyable. I have to stop Mike and I understand that through your narcissism is where you view everything. This is not the most irrelevant

“heat team that there has ever been that's a ridiculous thing to say. They still have that sold out”

streak. The people in that arena did enjoy themselves. But Duane Wade does speak to something and this pissed off the heat. A lot of members of the heat thought this was somebody outside. Somebody going outside the family to criticize the family. Let's hear this sound from Duane Wade. The city needs to be woken up. It's not alive. And we know when we was here, bro, it was buzzing in the streets. We've been had a last couple of days. This is ain't none buzzing outside. I'm gonna let it all out to go home or

let it go. Bro, I'm leaving. I'm leaving too. I'm gonna stay here. I'm gonna get out of here. There's no energy here. The city deserves and meets a person that can bring that energy here and take it over. There's nobody. No one's here. He would take that standpoint of that buzz and that energy. When he came, the change of the entire the culture here shifted. When Bro, I felt that alive and I felt that buzzer. Then I was out. I've been out of the last couple of days. I'm sleepy. I've been out of

the last couple of days. I mean, look who's talking there. What an impossible standard. What are they talking about it? But there's no awareness of who they are as they say that. No, no. Again, doubling down, it is the most irrelevant the franchise has been for an extended period of time. Don't cherry pick one bad year where they came back the very next year. Don't cherry pick bad years in which they had to wait and wait one of the best players in the league on their team and an asset you knew

that you could build around. They're irrelevant. The national games bear this out. The local ratings bear this out. This is the least interesting. This team has been for an extended period of time in franchise history. Full point, that is, that is fact. No, it isn't. What? Give me a word three years ago. My start in the 80s. We're an expansion team that people are getting excited about. Before Pat Riley got here, there's a block of time where they were wildly irrelevant. I watched

a bunch of those games. They had G-Money. They had teams that were fighting to play off. You're the local heat basketball historian. Who's right on this? You think this is the most irrelevant. They've been in their franchises history. You need to amend that statement to it. At the very

least, you have to amend the statement to since Pat Riley got here. It's three years.

“I mean, I remember the willings of Billy Owens. That team made the playoffs and was out on”

the first round a couple of times the same faith that this is. I'm not doing that with you today.

You think they're relevant. You've stopped watching them and so everyone has. I get it. I get it. It's all happening. Hey, hey, why am I being attacked here? Why am I being attacked here? Like, I barely spoke it. This is not the way. I want Jeremy to get in here and you frame everything to the prison of my narcissism. Get out of here. This was a fun night for South Florida. You get out of here. Oh, Jesus Christ. You guys, I told you, I don't get sent away. Jeremy

“I'm not going to show you what your family is doing. This is not the day for your negativity”

on the Miami heat. Wow. I will say I do think that the three year span that he's talking about maybe isn't exactly right. But I appreciate his support and in the fact that we should just be celebrating this moment together rather than then parsing the details of a three-year

span because that was that three-year span. Like, the first year he's talking about they were

coming off of a final appearance. So they obviously were not irrelevant. They were the defending Eastern Conference champions. But this night last night, happening for BAM at a bio is special

“for a combination of reasons. Because not only is he the only player that spoke would do that for.”

Right? Like, he's doing that for his captain because of everything BAM has been because of everything he's worked himself into. But he passed the 10,000-point threshold with the heat the game before. And what he talked about is, it's not bad for a guy who was drafted to be a defender in a lob threat. Like, he has worked himself and like you mentioned, he was supposed to be Clint Capella at best. Like, you were hoping he was Clint Capella. And the fact that he has

developed himself into a player with the skill set to be able to reach 83 points. If 83 points was so easy, and it could be done in this unethical way, then Steph Curry would have done it, or LeBron would have done it, or Kevin Durant would have done it. You're right. I don't care who you're playing. Oh, no, Kobe Bryant did his 81 points against a team that lost 55 games. People have been criticizing the wizards and it's throughout basketball

history. There have been a lot of bad bad teams and no one has put up 83 against any of them except one player ever. But if if anyone in the league with their number one option played the way the heat were playing toward the end of that game, there are many players in that league who

could have gotten 83 points playing that way. And I say that not to discredit at all the first

quarter he had, which as I say, was the most impressive quarter I have ever seen a heat player have. It's just not the way they played the rest of the game, and certainly not the way they played the second half. It's also when when you talk about the guys at Jeremy who is mentioning Steph Curry, LeBron, KD, all these guys, they don't need to do that, right? Like their whole thing is like we have enough. Bam doesn't have that in his arsenal, in his trophy case, he needs an 83

point game like that. Can we just acknowledge for the second time in NBA history that a duo was combined for over 100 points, can we give it up for Bam at a buy on Simone Fonteck, you know?
