Local Hour: Mamba Mendality

He also put it on Kobe's game and Will's game, though, because all of those high scoring

games are a little bit bogus. This is from Sam Quinn of CBS. Kobe scored the last 22-laker points when he scored 81, 17 of which came with a double digit lead. The last seven from the free throw line, Willton, Devin, Booker are the only players to score

70 against winning teams and they only did it in losses. Lucas, the only player to score 70 in single digit win, Mitchell did it in over time, all 70 point games are a little fake.

“That's why we don't see them in the playoff, he said.”

Don't we have to, or can't we all just acknowledge the only way, a player can score that many points in a game, there has to be bullshit, right? I don't think that you can get to a hundred without bullshit. Getting in the modern game it's possible, that I do think that we will see a hundred in our lifetime, just because there's going to be a marksman from outside that doesn't

miss. The greatest quarter I've seen is Clay Thompson, right? He had 37 points that he made 10 threes in that quarter. I think that's the scenario, which, unless a rule's changed, that you're going to see somebody go through.

This is why I'm telling you guys, though, that the BAM first quarter is the most impressive

thing I've ever seen in a heat uniform during a regular season game. The first quarter, when you're looking at a guy who, and you've seen the stats over the last couple of days here, he made as many threes against the wizards as he did in his first five seasons in the lead combined. I mean, that's crazy.

He shot a bunch of them, what was funny, one of the many funny things about that is, there were about seven of them that just hit the backboard, like he threw seven molders at the rim when he got tired when he lost his legs, that was all at the end. It was all at the end because did you know that he got to 70 points with about seven minutes left in the game, and he was shooting over 50% from the field and over 40% from

three, his stats were unbelievable, and then the bullshit started in 2015, the Golden State Warriors beat the Sacramento Kings and clay at 37, he had nine for nine from three, and 13 for 13 overall for field goals, so another four buckets and yet to freeze. Mike, you thinking there's going to be a 100 point game because Clay's going to do that in three quarters.

He's going to go. That was just one quarter. He's going to 37. It's going to go to 27 for 27 over three quarters and get to what he did. Dude, if BAM can go for 83, a Steph Curry type can go for 100.

I do think that we sort of underestimate the amount of stamina that takes. I've heard him interviewed some, but I haven't heard anyone ask him if he's ever been that tired at the end of a game because I can't imagine he's ever been that tired at the end of his game. His jersey was a different color than his shorts.

I had someone say to me yesterday that his jersey was black at the end of the game. That's a red jersey. This is the dan leba partial with this Tugat Spotcast. Follow me up a logic ladder here.

“Would everyone here agree that in basketball, defense is equally important to offense?”

Yes. Everyone here would agree with that even though we celebrate offense, wildly disproportionately, we would agree that defense is as important. I speak for everyone. You would also agree that we do a very poor job of talking about it.

Well, measuring it well, offense is easier to see, right? So, Mike Ryan has a understandably grown tired of BAM out of bio as the lead thing for something that has been a play in team. But would you agree, or is it blasphemy to say, based on what I just said, that BAM out of bio to the Miami Heat's defense has been what Dwayne Wade has been to their offense?

Yes, or no. I disagree with that because BAM out of bio to the Heat's defense has not given the same results as what Dwayne Wade's defense often.

“And I think the example that you just cited is why offense is more important than defense,”

because Dwayne Wade and his offensive game has beaten tremendous defense in the playoffs in moments that you've absolutely needed it. And out of bio knocked out the Celtics at the rim in the bubble with defense and the playoffs. The reason that I say this and the reason that I disagree with what Zaz just said, BAM's defense. And this is why he won't trade him.

BAM's defense always makes them top five.

I saw Wade be graded offense and them not be top five. They're always top five and it's always because BAM out of bio is at the center of their defense.

The way that we remember BAM's because like a lot of people think it's Mandela. In fact, a lot of people think that the series was one on that play. It was game one. They don't even as big a block, they probably don't win that series. Was the island Irish an over-tai Lou game one?

Yes. There you go. That's a good example. Actually, it's a much better. It's a good example game one.

Yeah, because they lost, they, they, the sixers won the first one in LA. Everyone was shocked and the lakers won the next four. What happened there? And it's one of the most iconic moments in basketball in a five game on the wrong end. Which was a Mac Geiger on that team?

“I think Erick Snow was the point card on that team.”

Alan Irish and dragged a bunch of bombs. Did you see Erick Snow at the reunion? Yeah, that's not new. No, I'm just, what? I can't talk.

I'm catching up with my friends. Did, did you guys see Erick Snow at that? Yeah. All right, and I'm not going to say what everyone's thinking. I saw Pat Crotech, you guys see him?

He looks good. Well, you just said what you weren't going to say. You do. By saying that Pat Crotech, he looks good. You just said what you weren't going to say about Erick Snow.

We didn't comment on Antoine Walker at the 20 year reunion. Why we doing that. This is something. Well, Duane Wade was talking about the lack of buzz in town. And are you guys willing to follow me down the path of the Miami Heat who know more than

we do? Are unwilling to trade Bamm out of bio because they think he is to their defense. What Dwayne Wade is to their off, what Dwayne Wade was to their offent. It's regardless of whether you want to split hairs on it or not. It's pretty close.

He's an all-time defender, Bamm out of bio will be, will go down as an all-time defender

while never winning the defensive player of the year.

It's for sure. It's kind of the same way as I suppose the best coach but never wins coach of the year. The thing is you can't measure defense by my voice is going right now with D.R. Last time. WBC and you were absolutely lit last time.

But you don't measure the game. It's point scored, not defense. Bamm's got four defensive stops, okay, that doesn't matter because if they come down and hit four threes, it doesn't really matter. I guess I would just say what I said again but in different words where I don't think

that Bamm can be the best player on your team and you win a championship and I know Dwayne Wade could be the best player on your team and win a championship.

“But you're doing the measurement of just winning is the only thing that matters.”

You're doing it the way we measure quarterbacks but it's not the only thing that goes into winning and on the front end, I just asked you is defense as important as offense because before Bamm out of bio, those heat teams, we celebrate Bosch Wade and LeBron. They won their defense was great, like they made a bunch of mid-range jumpers against the spurs because pop figured out how to get them to just make mid-range jumpers.

But they are every year a top five team with Bamm at the center of the defense. It's the core principle philosophy of almost everything they do. I wonder if I can just say flatly the heat value defense more than they do offense. They figure they can get offense from every maxstru's, every game vincent, every dunk in Robinson, they'll figure out how to get offense.

This year's heat team is only as many games over 500 as it is because of its defensive rating. They are an average offense efficiency. So the thing is, when you say all those guys the maxstru's as a game vincents and dunk of Robinson's, you have one guy at the center that can put the team on his back when

the playoffs start. You don't have a Jimmy Butler anymore. You don't have the guy that's the stalwart to your offense, it can't be Tyler Hero. We know what game might be. My point is that no matter who's on defense, whether it's Tyler Hero, Norman Powell or

anybody or maxstru's or anyone else, the reason they're good at defense is because Bamm's

always at the center of the defense guarding all five of your dies.

Yeah, their defense this year in particular is fully because of Bamm. Like they had so many guys out there, it's so many different moments who struggled. And while they have some really good individual defenders, Davi on Mitchell is a good individual defender, Pella Larson as well. Andrew Wiggins having one of the best seasons of his career on both sides of the ball.

At the same time, Bamm's ability to guard one through five to play in his own, to play man to man to guard a wing, to guard a big.

“That's what allows them to do all the different things they do that do slow down other”

teams eventually, which is why they decided to play with pace this season because they knew he can anchor it. My point is they have more knowledge than we do. They have more invested than we do. They say Bamm is untouchable.

I'm explaining the reason to you that they say Bamm is untouchable. We'll talk about the 83 points. It's not why they value him.

It's because he always shows up.

It's because of the rarest of things. Other players in the league say of Bamm out of Baya, we know how hard that dude works. It's evident in what it is that he's created with his game.

angry. And if I say to the audience, Dwayne Wade's 2010 through 2014, when they were fighting with America, do you think he misses fighting with America about stuff? This is Dwayne Wade here, and these are Fangs for Dwayne Wade when he says what he says here. Also, let me say things and let me do things that you all can't do.

It's folk can't walk in the locker room and say certain things that I can say. Let me say certain things.

“The only thing that you can't do is say certain things that I can say.”

Let me say certain things because I'm a whole organization to a standard. What do you like it or not? But here we go, I'm born in Missouri, I was born in Chicago, but I damn show live about it. I'm damn so from the show me state. Show me seeing is believing. That's like I said the Bamm on the show. It's not that I don't believe in you. It's not that I don't believe in his organization.

I've seen it, but show me. And you know what they do? Oh, they show me. So if I'm a system, I'm about to sit on multi-step Bamm right now. It's going to be this. I'm stupid. I'm stupid as long as you're going to show me baby. Show me that you are one of them dudes that we know you are. And that's what you do right now. And that's what the heat is doing.

So let's go. Let's go. Sounds like a victory lap to me. He's like, yeah, I told him to play harder.

“I told him to play better and they're doing it. I think he likes being able to do this”

where he could talk. Like he said, Spoke can't go in there and say all this. I think he likes being able to say these things with no repercussions now. Things that he probably couldn't say when he was playing it. He called them a play and team. He pissed them off. He pissed them off by saying there's no buzz around that city. They don't have somebody who was me or Jimmy or a star. And so he ended up

agitating them. Let's get to some more, uh, dwayne sound here because there's a killer quote in here. Just a killer quote from him. Man, he's in this. Yeah, we got to come. Yeah, we got a couple of weeks love. Right. And then we could get to the fifth place. And then you could possibly

play Cleveland, their first round at four or five matcha. Well, sir, they got to die. Yeah, I like

Cleveland. I like James over there. But you know what? They only been playing together for a little while. Like, yeah, you can make noise. You can have a year that, you know, you could be proud of it. And it's just innate just about winning championships. Like, ultimately, yes, we want to win championships. But you got to take steps to get there. You got to build these steps, right? And so this is a building year. So that's build. And so the end of this year goes show us

when we go and build into for the next season. And what the team going to be able to do with this all season about what we do and how we finish this year. And so I'm, I'm, I'm going to say, we into the day I ain't here, no more. Because I've been blessed, sweat and tears. Don't was left in it in that state. Yeah. Yeah. And also to don't give me a county. Don't

name it out to me. If y'all don't like that. I'm always hold us to a standard baby. It's

like a county. And it's cause it's standard. That is killer dismount. Do not name a county after me if you don't want to abide by my standards. You could tell that he started cooking,

“then he's like, oh, wait a second. I got one more hold on a second. How about this one?”

Don't forget the county and county. How do you the jazz fans experience that? Do they care? Like, this guy is supposed to be part of, well, there's never been anything like that. Has there a guy who owns a part of another team and is still representing this one down here. Tom Brady. Yeah. I guess what he would say would sort of hate just a super. The super he went. He no comment in whether he was rooting for the pants. Not quite this

where he's going after the individual players. He did piss off. He did piss off.

Bam out of bio. But one of the things that is always funny about media members and fans and how

they react to conflict in a locker room. Those guys thrive off of conflict. It was Ray Allen, who actually taught me. He's like, nobody in here is in their feelings on anything. Like, they pissed off his fuel. Pist off is something that, you know, a Duane Wade learned in an organization where shack and mourning would go face to face with Riley and it seemed everyone there like they were going to fight and then, you know, shack and mourning would get kicked out of practice

because they thrive on conflict. They create it. It's very different from most other workplaces. And I have seen before we get to the more positive sound from around the league because there is some of that. I have seen Zaz and Jeremy getting pissed off about the conflict that their presently is around the Bam Conversation. Yeah. I mean, it's it's why and I said this yesterday. I really wish they pulled him at 81 because I think the reaction would have been so, so different. And I'm annoyed

I just wish Bam was getting the respect and the adulation over these last 36 hours that I think

“he deserves and it's played out exactly the way I figured it out to play out. And some of the things”

that I've heard people say out there, it's offensive to me as a heat fan. 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?" I said, "I'm just on my couch right now, doing nothing, enjoying it." He's 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 and we knew we made the

right call. We watched a game. All of a sudden we're standing up on our feet. Big threes are being drained and white cans are being clanked. See times like these? That's exactly why Miller Light is my go-to. Clean, refreshing, easy to drink. Brute for taste was simple ingredients.

March is one of those months where we talk about celebrating women and it's very, very

deserved because when you actually look around a lot of women in our lives are carrying a ton. Work, family relationships, expectations, nobody notices or sees.

“"Oh, the nuggets are going to win." Oh, Denver, the altitude and you know what?”

They're going to win at all. This is the Dane Lebatar Show with a two-gats. I think there have been some voices that have been weak on this. Like Lakers fans in particular who are trying to discredit. Well, it was you expected that, though. Right, but you know what I was taught is that Mamba mentality is continuing to go for records for continuing to score that if you're getting triple-team.

Why would you undermine that? I was going somewhere. That was going to be a good class social heroine. He can't culturally appropriate the black mom. He can't do it. I didn't say black. He can't do it. It's because your every word says white. Do I? Well, you know, look at me. But the Mamba mentality would be continuing to go out there. You think you think that could be

Mike and Tony both reacted the same way. I saw it sweep over the room. Okay, and it was like watching one of

“the tsunami movies when I saw sweep over the room. They both absorbed what you were saying.”

I learned from Mamba. The Mamba taught him what I've learned from Mamba. They both react by just laughing at the general tone of you. Someone cut that up because I don't think I said what I've learned from Mamba. I said what I've learned about the Mamba mentality. And I would have gotten here before when I first applied. I looked at Tony and I said it and he was like, oh, that's a bar. You would ever you said you rehearse the line sounded so white. You pitched it out there. You know, you were first

minor penalty two minutes four explaining the show. Wow. You rehearse that line like Wayne County. I said it. I went, hey, you know what? I don't think that's Mamba mentality. And Tony was like, that's pretty good. Wow. I'm not going to stop saying Mamba mentality. I had an opportunity here. You were yesterday to be out of contact. You rehearse that. That was

“rehearsed a line that I halfway through it. You got through it. And you were serious rehearsing.”

You're moving post to line and Tony and Mike were trying to stifle laughter.

Dan, he threw it up to me and I was like, oh, that's good. But the problem is, if you don't say it,

if I say it, it's good. You say it not good. So I thought I was going to say it, but then he said it, and I was like, oh, okay. You, but you could have gotten away. Of course. You get away. Yeah. Because that's my, that's my culture. You can't appropriate my culture. Well, now, now Mike is looking at you in the same way that he was looking at. Of course, he would because he's not a hoop, he's not part of our culture. It's a different story. I have some sound here from around the

lead, but let's start with what it is. Brian Windhorst is particularly saying. As I talked to people around the lead today, I've found great response from Bametabio's peers. He's very popular amongst his peers. So there's that. And then the peers who are talking matter, okay? Because here's Kevin

Durand. I could believe that when I was hearing it in real time, he got 30 in the first quarter

in the 70 congratulations to Bametabio and how much work he puts in. I looked at the statue, he was pretty crazy. 40 shots, 43 pros, 23. He's not just, that takes a lot of stuff with a man. It takes a lot of energy to go out there and put those shots up and also make a center record. So, Brad is cold. We have a second high to score a player. History of the game. He'll be dead. Congrats to him. That's as nice as you'll ever hear Kevin Durand talking to the media right there.

Just happy about somebody doing something good. Just he's just sitting here saying that's positive. When he talks about the stamina, I'm going to say this part again. I don't know if you guys ever saw Ocho Sinko talking about playing against Real Madrid, a practice against them when he was at the height of his Bengals powers fit. Really fit. He's like, I couldn't touch the ball. Couldn't get close to the ball and we were talking yesterday. I think our show would have a hard time getting

over half court against the wizards if they were trying to keep us from getting over half court because Alex, sorry, is an extra terrestrial like he's just super wide and we wouldn't be able to get to the ball and what Bam did yesterday with the triple teams and pressed people who are

used to triple teams like Janice. Everything incredible, incredible, speaks volumes in this hard

work. I haven't seen the game. I have to watch the game. It's 33 from the line. Fritros? Yeah. It doesn't matter how you get it. Although it reminds that you got it, like in 10, 20, 30 years from now nobody's going to maybe have the Fritros. He shot. I don't think that. I don't remember how many shots. Kobe shot. I don't know if there was any made out of three.

“All due to members, 81, wield, 100. You don't remember that. You know, so I think that they”

he got a few points in. I mean, I think a lot, just a little faulty there. You know, even though he's trying to do something, say something positive there about Bam. That reporter just trying to get him to say something. Oh, yeah. Well, before you say something good, let me tell you about the Fritros. I hear in both Janice and Kevin Durant, them experiencing haters a certain way and being clear on. I'm not going to sound like a hater of this by finding

all of the ways to criticize this. You can hear the smiles on both of their face, even though those muscles have atrophied on Kevin Durant. They don't work. He has to bring in trainers and stuff to stretch him with bands to get the smile to work. But here also, not exactly appear, but former player here's Lou Williams. You knew how to score talking about it. Super impressive. I got, I got no complaints. I got no criticisms. Listen, when you subscribe to doing silly things,

you play silly games, you win silly prizes. You know, Washington, they, they subscribe to China,

to score the way that he was scoring. You know, we can make a case about the 36 free throws.

“Those were legitimate files. They could stop them. They were following them. They shot the free throws”

for it. I didn't see a lot of flopping. If anything, a lot of those are supposed to be anyone. If you asked my opinions, a lot of those files that he were getting, they were supposed to be finished because he was filed in the act of shooting a lot of those files if you look at it. The first half when he had 43 and 19 minutes, a lot of that was just Billy Paul, him putting his head down, either dunking on somebody, laying the basketball up or completing an ones. And when they

couldn't stop them from getting to the ramp, he made three points. Now, was it his most efficient night once he realized he was scratching a surface of history? Of course not. Once you get that

close to the fire, I'm going for it. Toronto never doubled Kobe, right? No, I don't know about

never, but I've seen photos on the internet of him just being in isolation with one guy. It was a historically like that's the whole thing about the game. It was one of the main criticism of

“Sam Mitchell. Twice Sam Mitchell was toasting champagne yesterday because his strategy is what got them roasted. I'm”

not going to double Kobe no matter what. And isn't it why everyone points at Jalen Rose? You were the defender. You're the guy that got torched. Yeah. And instead it was the entire wizard's team. Yeah. I actually think, you know, as far as the free throws, because of the way that Washington was guarding him, double and triple-teaming full court, that's not how you defend like you're going to draw fouls when you have three guys who are just crowding you. It's also like I like I told you guys

during the shadow show. He was shooting over 50% from the field and over 40% from three, deep into the fourth quarter, having already scored 70 points. And then they started triple-teaming him, which means that 30 of those free throws came because they simply couldn't guard him. Like that's that part of all of this. They're a terrible defense. They could not guard Bam at a bio. And he was asserting as well on a nightwear. They didn't have anybody else to do it. Their next high score

was Simone Fontecchio. Yeah. No wear, no pow, no wiggins, no hero. But one of the things that I found interesting about this. And when I mentioned the Real Madrid Ocho Cinco example of Ocho Cinco was in his prime as a number one receiver in the NFL. He goes out to play with Real Madrid and he's underestimated. He couldn't get to touching the ball because of how good they were with the ball. Tony, you know as a basketball lover that the athleticism and the aggressiveness of Bam at a bio,

when he spins with that body type, you almost can't do anything but foul him. It's why,

I mean, as always yelling, please be more aggressive than four and a half free throws a game.

There's no one who can stop you. No one in the history of athletic bodies who can stop you. If you just go neck first at the rim that way because they're gonna have to hit you. You're too athletic. But Dan, that's the part that's tough because going playing that style, it hurts. Right shooting 43 free throws hurts. And obviously he's not gonna shoot that every night. But if you shoot 16, 17, 18 free throws a night like SGA would, your body's gonna break down playing defense the way he does,

banging down low the way he does with bigs. It's not an easy way to play. But when he has that head esteem and you saw it, when he would break through the triple team and then have the ball basically won on one of the top of the key. It was a spin move here. It was just taking strong up this way. They couldn't stop him and it feels like if any other team he would do that against, he would have the same results. It's just a matter of like lighting that fire and playing that way.

“It'll be a little bit interesting what he looks like tonight. Right?”

I mean, I imagine he is going to be hurting. His body is physically going to hurt. I've asked the heat to see if we can get him. I don't think they do anything on game day. But I have asked the heat to see if we can get bam today because I've just got a bunch of questions about how he physically feels because I don't think people understand the amount that that takes to do all of that. But let's just show this video here of Sam Mitchell again,

toasting champagne. They got champagne. That's good work by the staff that both have champagne

and the glasses to celebrate the fact that he never doubled teamed Kobe and allowed him to get to

81 points. As part of the show back in the day where I was like, hey Tony, go find us this because we don't have this at the studio one time. I had to go get fruit loops because Stugots could say that he could tell the difference between all the different ones. I didn't want to say CVSs to go find fruit loops. So some poor PA somewhere was like, "Wit, get champagne!" He's going, that's like, "Oh shh, I'm happy to use." That's tough to do though, right? Because you couldn't have

seen none of us saw him. Getting past Kobe. Well, no, but obviously, but even after that, this was a number that I saw on the sports books. At the half, the overunder on BAM for the game was

Like they weren't considering that until Washington started with the bullshit. I have a couple of

“buddies that had some undertickets on BAM's point. It was 25 and a half, you see, under 83.”

You've been doing this for the whole time, you're just talking about the story. You're just talking about the story. And then you're talking about the story. No, not at all. Like Stugots are my safe space. Hmm, you're talking about everything? Yeah, exactly. Like Stugots are the story of the story of the story that I just understood. The story of the story of the job or the home. Stugots are the story of the story. I don't know how Stugots are. Stugots are the story of the story. With the story of the story.

Stugots are the story of the story. Let's play Mike Green sound here so that people can hear one more basketball voice defending this.

“And as George goes inside, this is where he's going to rebound. The other thing without a bite,”

this is a guy who represents the very best of the NBA. The way he feels himself, the kind of teammate he is, the work ethic that he has, he's been nothing but a great ambassador to the NBA and high character in the

good role, and his story is amazing. So for him to have a special night like that,

Miami Heat and their fans dad, I thought that was wonderful too. I both sides have their great points and that's that was kind of love, Mrs. I'm not trying to cop out by saying they're both right, but sometimes there's a gray area in there. And we don't have to be outraged about everything. Says what do you make of this league wide outpouring a super unusual for what a great guy. Yeah, yeah, you know one of the things that I look at actually during games with the heat.

Whenever there's a scuffle and you got the players who will come in and they start to separate

guys of a BAMs always in the middle of it because you know he plays down low by the basket and

and he's a bigger guy. So he's going to be like a peacemaker. I always look to see if someone on the other team is trying BAM. I always look to see if someone shoves him out of the way. If someone starts talking shit to him during this little scuffle, I always look for that. Specifically because there is this reputation that everyone loves him and yeah, I never see anyone

“trying BAM during games. I think it's unusual to hear a whole bunch of other players saying we know”

how hard he works. Like that's just there and it's a reflection of what they've seen in how his game has changed. It's because they also like have these guys played a huboal with them, right? Donovan Mitchell and Deer and Fox and all of these guys that he grew up with that were in that same draft class. They all saw him just as a guy who was setting screens for them, being a lab threat for them, grabbing rebounds for them and for him to now be the guy of all of them that goes and scores

83 points in a game and they know how difficult it is to even get to the line that many times. If you're just saying, oh, we was seven for 22 from three. Oh, there were this many free throws. You didn't watch the game and see the flow of the game to see the fact that he earned his way easily to 70. Then from there, you can argue the semantics of it. Roy Tony Mike, can I get an official ruling on this sound? You know what I was taught is that

Mamba mentality is continuing to go, to continue to go where Jeremy, somewhere if Dan didn't cut me off, I didn't like it. He needed to work on fiancees what it was. You thought he was leaking Chris. Yeah, like right right after like Chris play it one more time. I want to hear where you think he leaks confidence. You know what I was taught is that Mamba mentality is continuing to go it's just a U at Mamba mentality. Right. That's for me. And also after all that, you said that could have

been a social clip. Oh, that would have gone viral. It's your guys' fault. We've had no clips

from other people instead of our show. You should have earned a lot. We had our opportunity.

Minor penalty two minutes for explaining the show two minutes of rumping. I mean you coming in here and saying we've had no clips do anything. That is something that I don't want anyone here motivated by. Like I don't know what you're doing. Not a good viral, Dan. We had the clip. He thought he was gonna go. He's so so way just to be clear. I want to be clear on what he's not our job. No, you're no, you're when have I ever said to you, Jeremy, that your job is you got to go viral

because you're failing at your job if that's what your job is. Like you have been an abject failure at it. You went viral eating cheetos. Like you had your fingers in your mouth.

“Yeah, and she's just on your fingers. That's how you went viral. You think that was you doing your job?”

Well, the guy who makes us wear costumes, so that when I say something racist, whoa, whoa, whoa. At least he admitted. Allegedly. What did he say? I mean he is displaying mom. Smock it. Roy, can I get your opinion? You have sat out peacefully and gracefully. You have sat out the momma mentality clip. To be fair, I did think he had set it differently I had him at a tiny chair with a small desk with gum stuck underneath the desk sitting in a

class where momma was teaching mentality on the board. Like it was he was being taught up.

Shoot never assist. Punch your teammates in the face. Be an asshole in the championship. Go six

for 24 and have run our test bail out in a game seven against the Celtics. Oh, a five championships, Dan. The fifth one was the one he left the most and met a world peace one at four and then thank this. Yeah, but Dan, he ran through a MF or chest and paga saw in the Olympics as I

“am right. I know you remember that one. Yeah, I your head or two. Okay, my lead two minutes.”

Hey, I agree. I agree. Me. Yeah, he's got to go. I mean, yeah, it's what you gave him. You said yes, and you made it literal. You made, you made, you made, you made, yes, and this improv literal by just giving him. Yeah, literally threw up an alieu form. Does that has to come in and be like, I can't remember that. Bob, Bob, Bob, my voice to him. You know what? I'm sorry. Yeah. Minor penalty two minutes for leaking confidence. You too, right? You got to go.

It's like the Tampa Bay Life. Just you. You've got to get out of here and only you. The University of Miami plays it to 30 today, Louisville, Louisville, Louisville, beat them last time. That was a disappointing night. They panicked at the end. They threw the ball out of bounds. I thought the Miami hurricanes were going to win that game and have more wins than they ever had in a season. On Sunday, you guys are going to want to be with us. I assume the University of

Miami will be about a three seed, but maybe this tournament will change that seeding because they lost at home against Louisville, and I don't know if another loss against Louisville,

“which is nine or ten losses this season. I like Louisville. I think they're a good team.”

And Miami's projecting in most places to not be that high. Like I've seen six, seven. Okay. I just I figured if they won the ACC tournament. Oh, if they win it. Yeah, that'd be a boost. Because presumably, although sneaky sneaky tough game, FSU's playing better. Not an embarrassing loss for Miami anymore. But yeah, if they go through Duke, it would certainly boost their credence. Even if they got to the game against Duke,

I would assume that they would end up being a very high seed. And my Kel Brown is not playing for Louisville. He's out until he hopes to make a return in the NCAA tournament, Louisville, is indeed a tournament team. But they already beat Miami without him.

They did, but they also shot like 60% from three. The shot making in that game was incredible.

It was impressive in defeat that Miami was able to climb back into the game. And then that entire second half was a was a bit of a war. Miami is a one and a half point dog today. We'll see two, thirty tip. I've had a couple of stumbles today in which the glitch system has short-circuited me. The Mamba Mandality. So bad. The Mamba Mandality of a Mandality is totally different. Man, you said, man, it is. I don't know what would be a Mandality. What would that

what would a Mamba Mandality? That's a totally different thing that is nothing to do with Kobe Bryant. What is a Mandality, Mamba Mandality? Nelson Mandela. Your voice knows you're making mistake there. It is. That is, you know what? You've got me exactly right there. Minor penalty two minutes for leaking confidence. Let's be honest here though. After the game

and BAM is doing the post game, you know, spotlight on the floor with Kelly Sacco and,

“you know, then the whole team came up and they sprayed him with water and it was a really fun moment.”

I mean, how badly did Jeremy wish that was his fault? And I was sitting on the couch watching with my wife and I was like, Jared, there's no way Jeremy's on this broadcast.

I feel like we would have seen that via text earlier in the game if I wish I have never been

so jealous of anyone in my life. Are you texting Kelly? I texted Kelly with about three minutes to go and I was like, you are going to crush this. But I also was Kelly has a hundred more marlin's games than I do. And I am more jealous of the fact that she did that than the fact that she has

a lot of fun. So you guys are different teammates than we are around here because if that was you,

I would have been texting you, you're going to screwed this up. Don't choke. Yeah, don't choke. Don't stumble

“over your words. Did you consider the biggest interview of your entire life right here?”

Oh, you guys all would have been roasting me. Did you consider at any point during the game? Like once BAM got to 70, did you consider getting in the car and driving to the arena? It's like, listen, you know, I'm going to throw on the suit and drive down there. Kelly, look, I appreciate it. I'm here. But I'm about to have the greatest interview of all time. Right.

“The Kanye mentality. Like, do you and Kelly have the same amount of games?”

Yes, we have the same amount of games. I did not get assigned to that one. Okay. Yeah, super disappointing. Also wasn't in the building because it was my grandfather's 86 birthday. Yeah, but I mean, grandfather's 86, BAM 83. What have been cool if he scored three more points? To be fair, it would have been a Jeremy game against the wizards where BAM has like 15 and eight. I felt like a Jeremy game. Yeah. We're just like, okay. Cool. For sure. If I was there, he doesn't score 83.

Like, when I was doing that game, for sure. I have tonight's game. I'll be on tonight's game between the guys. He's going to be loud. He's going to shoot like six for 22 and have 14 points in 12 rebounds. It'll be a win because he's a yana stopper. But yana's might also have like 90. I can't be the only one who thought about that. That's what was on my mind at the end of the game.
