Local Hour: The Sexual Meanderings At Jungle Palace

- Did you just call 'em 'Woi'?

- No.

“- It sounded like you called them sick freedom of wood.”

- I did not, yeah, I think you did. - Were they, they're no longer with us, right? - I think there's still a lot. - Sick freedom? - Yeah.

- Boy are no longer with us? - They magically disappeared. - They built that. - Thank you, you're Roy today. - I am.

- And Roy is sick freedom? - That's right. - So Roy is not Roy today. - I'm Roy. - Okay, but Roy is sick freedom.

- Right, Roy? - Yes. - Correct. - Greg just said that Roy looks good in that wig. - Thank you.

- Seriously. - That's going to get annoying. That's going to get annoying. If every time I say Roy, he answers, 'cause he's Roy and your sick freedom.

But can we answer Zaz's question? - They love us.

“We don't know, do we, they, have we not know?”

I think people assumed that they were, but I don't believe that they ever confirmed that. - Per Wikipedia, sick freedom Roy,

were romantically involved, though details were never discussed.

(dramatic music) - The details were, they had a lot of sex. - Yeah. - I don't believe those were the details. I mean, it has to be.

- I believe we're imagining that. - They lived together at Jungle Palace, a Moroccan themed eight-acre state in the Las Vegas area. Part of their 80 acre property, they called Little Bavaria. - Yeah, that's a lot of sex happening.

- The separate house is on the property since '96. That's a heavy place. I think Rob Zombie does that, too. - I'm pretty sure that they were a couple at one point and then stayed together because the business worked.

Put it on the pole, please, at Levitard Show. Is there a lot of sexual meanderings at Jungle Palace, the Moroccan venue? - Yeah. - Yeah, the business worked until it did it.

That's correct, Roy, that's, or I'm sorry, Sigfried. - Thank you. - That's good analysis by you. The business did work for them very well right up until the tiger attacked one of them

and then that's one of the perils of doing business with a tiger. - Well, it's my belief that I was having a stroke and the tiger was just trying to save me from said stroke, not that I had a stroke

after due to medical complications. - Dude, that was one of the great explanations ever. Like, no, no, no, no, it's not the tiger's fault. Like, yeah, it was considered like, hey, man, are you okay? Were we did this bit, right, on the show?

Like, three years ago, okay, man, are you okay? Hey, man, it's guys having a stroke. I gotta save 'em. - They were concerned with the optics, right? Until the very end and they didn't want to harm

the meal ticket after the meal ticket had quite literally harm to them. - Made them into a meal ticket. (upbeat music) - Purdue was a number one seed ad?

- 'Cause I know that I had JC Panic. (upbeat music) It's bracket tops, oh, make them charred. The champion, gun do you look just like the queen of heart 'cause Adam Silver looked like a torpedo bag.

Let's get Marxett and his back on track. Looks like his back chatt. When the doughnuts are in front of you, 'cause any reason, say no one if I do. Adam Silver looked like a torpedo bag.

Or fired a bag of onion cream.

“When Timmy left, until he had that's how you know”

that looks like his back chatt. Let me hear you say. (upbeat music) ♪ Looks like his back chatt ♪ ♪ Let's keep on doing it every year ♪

♪ So Adam works as Mr. Bond ♪ ♪ Welcome to catch it ♪ ♪ Your fisher looks like ♪ ♪ Shot gunning pairs at an escort track ♪ ♪ If you say this can't the best ♪

- I've always known that Greg Cody is in love

with the sound of his own voice, but never more so than when it is singing. I wish we'd have the narcissist cam on right there, so you guys could have seen him dancing with delight to his looks like saw.

- It was pride. He wasn't really even smiling. It was just this look of I'm proud of this. - No, he was radiant. It was beyond a smile.

It was somewhere in the realm of sunshine.

You know, you don't deny the obvious.

It was a good performance. Full credit to producer Yeti working as a Mexican at the time for an acceptance speech. I just wanted to point out that you're a narcissist. - That was winning an award.

- I mean, I mean, came in today. He too was radiant because he loves him some basketball, and he came in here today saying, "And this is the highest compliment." Wemby worth the price of admission.

Even though, I mean, doesn't have to pay to get into the games. (laughs) - Let me tell you, I would have, I would have, what I saw last night? - Absolutely.

Like, I was telling Jeremy earlier than that, Wemby gets into the situations that, for the entire history of basketball, that ends in a tough shot, right? It gets in the paint, but not quite at the rim.

It gets some contact. And usually, like, oh, he's gonna have to throw up a floater or something like that. And last night at least three or four different times, like, nope, I'm just gonna reach over and dunk it.

It's just so staggering. You're not used to seeing that happen. Someone in that situation finished it off with a dunk, and not a vorotious violent dunk of like, "Oh, I just went right through you and chest to chest.

I'm already starting my style." - Nope, he just, it feels, it feels sometimes, like, he doesn't have to jump in order to even do it. Like, he doesn't even, it feels, what you're describing is absolutely so,

throughout times as watching basketball, I am used to bodies being able to behave a certain way, and the only ones, like, you know, George Murerson or Boban, the ones who could just stand under the basket

and do it are one thing. But if I'm expecting a mid-range jumper and all of a sudden, somebody's just inspector gadget, putting their arm out and dunking, it confuses me. It disorients what I'm used to seeing from the sport.

- Over under two and a half championships for his career. - Oh, I go over there, I'm very worried.

“Honestly, what Mike Ryan, that bit that he was doing”

for a long time about when he's gonna be a bust, et cetera, et cetera, because he was just scared. He's gonna hog all the championships. That team shouldn't be that good. They've got good pieces, but the fact that at the center of it,

they can recreate what it is that the nuggets do with yolkage, but with somebody more athletic, where you can't take the ball from him. You can't block his shot. If he gets the ball in the middle of the paint,

he can do whatever he wants with it. It doesn't matter how many giants are around it. - That wasn't exactly my Wemby take. My Wemby take was I expect him to get hurt, because people that frame Duke at hurt,

and then the guy takes care of his body in phenomenal ways, and now that he's healthy, the other part of the take was the game's unfair to somebody that size, and he has this advantage. The game is a little unfair,

but what she could always count on in the history of the game

was somebody not having the intangibles. He works hard. He keeps his body in tip top shape. He remains pliable. He has this killer instinct.

He's incredibly likable too. So yeah, he's gonna be running this leak, provided he keeps taking care of his body this way. - Mike, when Mike said this guy's gonna get hurt all the time,

“I think the next week, right around that time,”

was when they had the video of him doing yoga, and like putting his head between his legs, and like seeing his back from underneath, and this dude is, look, I hesitate to put the line that high two and a half

championships is a lot. You're seeing what the league looks like now, how hard it is to keep good teams together. - I think he's gonna win this year. - No.

- That one. - I took him at plus 600 after what I saw last night. You could count on guys, like spurs the win. - Yeah, I took them there. They were at plus 600 last night checked,

but I think typically when you see people this gifted, sometimes they take their own gifts for granted, and that is the case with Wemby. - He wants to get better. - He had a whole post game speech,

'cause two games ago,

they clinched a playoff spot for the first time,

in six years, and he did this whole spiel post game, where it's like I don't wanna celebrate tonight, because I'm scared of being complacent. And yeah, he's everything that you want, man. - He's going to have, if he is healthy,

what Rachel Nichols was telling us yesterday, a top 10 career ever, I think it's, I mean, doesn't wanna get carried away with championships,

“but I think it's obvious when I tell you,”

I don't want to dismiss the spurs, Castle and Harper are top five picks to ear and fox, isn't all star, but that would just be another team, if at the literal center of it, they didn't have a guy who makes basketball unfair.

Like what is happening out there, can't really be competed with, if you're gonna have that size, that athleticism, and handle the ball that way, have range and be, be an athlete that looks like all the other athletes

are allowed to be that size and be that kind of athletic.

because I think you're right,

“like I think if Wembon Yama was not on this spurs team,”

like it's a bad team, how many teams... - I don't think it's bad, that's that. - I just think it's another team. - They're the team. - I don't think it's bad.

- They were 14 and three when he was hurt, like they're good, they are good for real. - So how many teams in the league, do they just put Wembon Yama on, and it would be really good?

- All of them. - Really good. - Like what's really good to you play off the...

- First off, let's first off, let's first off.

- See, play off team isn't really good for me. I wanna make this correction just real quick, because we're gonna have some conversation here about BAM not wanting to be in the play in game, and the playing game just for the record, okay?

They can distort this all they want, they can make money in all the places that they want. That is a total fraudulent, okay? The playoffs were, well, that's a fraudulent. The idea that making the playoffs is to success

when half the teams make the playoffs, and now you've extended, like it was fraudulent before. When it's 16 teams, and sometimes you've got to sub 500 team in 'cause of weak conference or whatever, it's fraudulent to have half of your teams in the playoffs,

but the playing game allows it to be more than half and worse than ever, I mean, you've got 10 teams not trying. So basically, 20 teams, here you go, you're a playoff team, because 10 of them aren't trying. - I would say that you are not only a prisoner of the moment,

you are Al Capone and Alcatraz at the moment. Typically, what we've seen in this play in era is teams 11, and sometimes even 12, are still actively trying to get into that play and because the playing gives you an opportunity

to extend your season as we saw it Miami a few years ago. So, typically what we've had is more engagement in this part of the calendar. This year's an anomaly because of several things,

not the least of which we have an incredible draft class,

and so there's a bunch of teams that are like, "Yeah, I don't really care as much of having a chance to extend my season if I have a chance to get one of these generational talents." - Well, to dance point, if you're a play in team,

“you should be embarrassed to call yourself a playoff team.”

You're not. You're in a tournament to make the playoffs. It's a false brag to say that you're a playoff team, if you finish 11th, where the heats have been. - I mean, it might be an anomaly

and they might get it fixed. But this year, 10 teams aren't trying. - That's this year. - Okay, but this year, 10 teams aren't trying. That's how the heat have as good a record as they have.

The heat, look, Brian Scalabrini is dismissing the heat as a playoff team. He's laughing at them. He is saying, basically, did you see how they looked against Cleveland in the playoffs last year

when they got destroyed in a way that no team had ever been destroyed? Before I go to that sound, I want to check in with Roy who was very eager to get in here. - With Victor Wemin Yamma, it's the size,

but it's also the skill. The other night, he had to buzzer beat her that if you look at the way he set up the jumper in the mid-range, it looked like Kobe, except he's seven foot five.

Last night, there was a play in the lane where he's sprinting down. They're trying to create a break. There's a throw that is somehow over his head because how can you sell something over his head?

But he catches the ball with one hand, spins, and as he's spinning kicks the ball out to the corner with a level of athleticism and grace in his footwork that you don't see from guys who are six foot four. The fact that he's able to do it at seven, five,

he is a truly unstoppable entity on the floor. - He's so, he just turned 22. He's so good that I almost think it's astounding

that in his third season, he hasn't won an MVP yet.

And he's not favorite this year.

“I think he's second or third in the odds.”

But that's how good he is. And I would also put two and a half as you over under on his MVP awards. - There's something about college hoops this time of year where you tell yourself, you're just going to casually

watch one game. And suddenly, your entire night is gone. That happened to me the other night. I was planning to say home and keep a game on in the background. Maybe pretend I wasn't checking scores every five minutes.

Then a text comes in. We've got multiple screens set up. That's how they get you. So I said, yeah, I grabbed a pack of Miller light on the way. A little while later, nobody's casually watching anything.

Somebody's yelling because their bracket is already cooked. Somebody else suddenly cares deeply about a school. Then thought about it in 10 years. And a game that looked over is somehow tied light. You take a sip, you look around and realize, yeah,

this was absolutely the right move. That's why I reach for a Miller light. It's clean, refreshing, easy to drink. Brute for taste was simple ingredients. The original light beer since 1975

Vcc done live at our show with their Stugats. He said himself that he should be the MVP. Here's that sound. I think we're not. It is still reasonable that there isn't a debate.

But I want to make sure my goal is to make sure that there's no debate anymore in this season. Three arguments? Yeah.

My first one would be that defense is 50% of the game.

And that is under-value. So far, you have to be race.

“Because I believe I'm the most impactful player defensively”

and the league. Second argument would be that we almost sweat OKC in the season. And we dominated them three times with their real team and four times with their more rotation fears. And my third argument would be that offense impact

is not just sports. God, I love the honesty of that answer. I love that he is just slaying out the argument for him. The way a columnist would lay out a hometown columnist would lay out the argument for him.

I want to enjoy this before I ruin it. Because I think he's going-- I think he's going to ruin it. I think he's going to ruin this here. I think he's going to ruin the sport.

He's going to keep getting better. That's not stopable and it's not fair. That's a great take down. Oh, no, a really great player that ends up being put up as the foil to all the other teams.

How bad for the league. Jeremy, I'm telling you, Roy. Thank you. Jeremy, I'm telling you. Thank you.

It's happening. Nobody loves Goliath. And just historically, maybe this guy will change the paradigm.

whether it's Michael Jordan, LeBron, James, Kobe Bryant, at least he was the size of the other guys. When it's what you're talking about, that your brain-short circuits, because he's doing something in the middle of the paint,

where you're like, wait a minute. That's not something human beings can do. You don't just reach out and don't get like that. - Enjoy this time, I would say, where this is a novelty.

“It's honestly got a little like circus side show bit to it,”

because we've never seen anybody look and play this kind of style.

But in two years time, first day's going to be talking about how you need to alter the NBA, because this is unfair. - The thing about Shaq was like this, and his kryptonite was the free throw.

Shaq had some of this where I'm losing it. - Like he took his gifts for granted to a degree. - I know he won several championships, but he never really matched that. - He won several championships after he got embarrassed

sort of the first 10 years of his life, because everyone knew he should be better. But when Greg sets the over-under on Wemby at two and a half, I'm like, no, you gotta think about this the way you think about Shaq if he is healthy.

Because the last time I felt like this is Yannis. - I was gonna say, we did this with Yannis. - Yeah, but we did this with Yannis, but this is seven inches taller than Yannis. - Like that. - And fewer holes in his game.

- Yannis still to this day has very obvious kind of flaws that make him mortal, right? Like we're talking about Superman. Oh yeah, wait, this is his kryptonite. This dude, I'm telling you,

he may not be perfect, but he's not that far off. And that's the scary part is like, what's the thing that we're gonna throw at him that's gonna be his kryptonite? - I just saw a flash on the screen.

The odds for MVP and Luca, like Greg said,

Luca's plus 200, he's second shortest odds.

And Wembanyama's plus 1100. - And also Shaq Gilgis Alexander is-- - He's a favorite. - Updated odds from DK sportsbooks, he's plus 2,200. - Wembanyama's. - Wembanyama's.

- Sha is minus 8,000. - No, he's more. - Luca plus it out. - Yeah, yeah, he's a huge long story. So even worse, but what I'll try to say is, there are people out there who would vote

don'tchitch over Wembanyama for MVP. They're like, like that has to be based on the games played. - Of course, welcome to the 65 game roll ladies

“and gentlemen, where does it matter who is the best player?”

We're gonna do a countering, oh no, he's only playing 62 games. So we're here out of this, this is why this rule is dumb. There's not a single person with eyes who would watch those players say and that guy's had a better season,

but because of a technicality that does not address the problem that they wanted to address in the beginning

were in this ridiculous situation

where I must reiterate 10 of the 15 all NBA selections last year are on the Cusp of being eligible. Even these odds that you're talking about right here. Shay is played 59 games.

They've got about 10 games left. So he's got to play pretty much six out of the next 10 games. Luca Dances is played 59, same thing for him. Anthony Edwards, like all of these guys, they've got to play in order to play this thing out.

And so when you talk about Anthony Edwards being injured, keep cunning him with the collapse long. Like there's going to be a pressure on guys to play basketball games when they really should not be playing just to be eligible.

I hope they all get hurt and like Derek White wins MVP is here. Roy? Yes. So stupid. There's a way to save this.

Tell everyone, hey, one B's not going to play tonight, but we're going to start him. He's going to go for the tip. Yes. You think he's going to tip him back?

You think that saves something? He lost, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, just hear me out. Let's hear him out this year. I will hear him out, but has he lost a tip this year? 'Cause watching last night's tip was funny.

Oh, watching BAM look like he's six foot two is startling. Because they have lost a tip. There's no way he's lost a tip this year. I'll look up the stat after this, but when it comes to being able to save these guys from all MBA and from DMVP race,

you just say, hey, hey, everybody. I know we're worried about the gambling odds. I know we're worried about all of the information. We're going to mark this guy. He is going to play.

He is going to be available. Find us if you would like, if you're an organization, if a Wemby wants to win the MVP and you're the San Antonio spurs and you need him to sit out four of the final 10 games. But he needs to play eight of them.

You say, hey, he's only going to play one minute. We're telling everybody. He's going to play for five seconds. Why? So he can get the game played.

He can come out. It doesn't influence the gambling odds. Find the organization. Who cares?

“This rule is ridiculous and you need to show them how”

ridiculous it is. OK. This is the problem. The rule also says you have to play a certain number of minutes. So you can't do really?

Yeah. Like so that you can't have just like checked in. I was here and then leave then that doesn't count. So why was my Cal Bridges able to do his thing? Well, I was just to keep it going.

That's a great story going. That has nothing to do with the game played. No. It is funny to watch you rage indignantly without realizing that your hair is flapping around, that your wig is flapping around,

and that you look even more ridiculous with your indignants.

I know it goes probably without saying

that Wemby is very giant. But just put up on the screen the size of his hands, please, so that you guys can see what-- You realize he's grabbing the basketball like it's a racket ball. So Dan, that when Roy is describing that play last night,

of him spinning and then throwing the pass, we're all like fixated on it. He's so tall and long and all the part that people overlook is that pump on loose, it's a great food in his hands. So he gets to vomit and do all of this.

It's like, it's like, "Cawaii, people don't understand how big "Cawaii's hands in. "Hands are, I'm abnormally large for his size." Michael Jordan, that's it. Again, all the grace and elegance and athleticism,

a big part of his thing was these massive myths. That's all right, when he met me and he put his hand on my shoulder, it was literally just a shadow came down and they're like, "Oh, snap, that's a massive paw." Look at me, he wrote that.

Believe it or not, when B is 44 and 13 on tip-offs this season. - Wow. - Plenty of black luis. - You notice a mean said when Michael Jordan met me, not when I met Michael Jordan.

“- That's why you got to look at me, Lee Roy.”

- Do you know why I say it like that? 'Cause I didn't introduce myself to him, he introduced himself to me. - Wow. - I was walking away and that meant went bull and I was like,

"That I looked up and I was like, "Oh my God." And then he's like, and then he said, and you're really gonna wanna warm up the sound for this one. Hey, man, I really enjoy your work. ♪ Look at me, he wrote ♪

- Put it on the pole at Labatard Show. Are you stunned that Wendy is lost 13 tips this year? You saw that last night and it gets bam, okay? The idea that a human being is undersized anywhere. A human being the size of bam, okay?

Well, if you've ever stood next to bam, any of you, like he's bigger than any human being,

you've never been next to who's not an NBA player.

Like you will never walk into any place where you're standing next to someone the size of bam to have bam looked like a toddler on the tip against Wendy and for Wendy's armpit to be in BAM's face is just funny.

“- Dan, I remember the first time I saw y'all ming”

and not on a basketball court, but in a social setting and to see other NBA players marvel how big this guy was. That's the closest thing I can think of. Like I remember shack playing against y'all ming the first time

and there's a picture of him kind of like looking up just to kind of confirm how much taller this guy is than me. If there's something about putting, like you said, giants in awe of how big you are. - Did you see late in the Gator game

this past Friday night and the first round of the playoffs the Gators were up by a thousand points against Prairie View and so the Gators put their freshman in a Olivier Rio who is seven foot nine and there's this shot of him standing.

- He's the tallest player ever, correct? - I think college basketball. - He's not in a good, he's like a sophomore now. - The freshman freshman. - Is he a true freshman?

- Oh, maybe not. - He was a guy that the football team put on in the field goal blocks and it didn't work out. - So there's this shot of him standing there he just checked into the game and standing right next to him

is a kid from Prairie View who happens to be six foot eight and he's looking up at him and he's trying to chat him up and like the kid who's some foot nine obviously doesn't really care to talk about how big he is he gets in his whole life and the kid from Prairie View

at one point you could see him out as soon as he goes, you real big man. - Dwayne Shentis who was the previous or the OG of Gator Giants, you used to get into elevators and whenever someone would say how's the weather up there

he was so tired of it he would spit and say it's raining. - I thought that was a wild story. - It was also a dwayne Shentis. - Maybe they pass it along in the newsletter. - Maybe they maybe Dwayne Shentis, yeah, borrowed it.

Zaz mentioned the Prairie View coach. They were down 18 in the first half and this is how they all felt facing the seven foot nine guy off the bench.

- They went into melt from the Lord, they're never doing.

Roy, what do you got? - I was sitting in the presser yesterday as Victor Wembenyama walks in to make his case for MVP and I'm sitting there and I turn to look as he walks in and I just kept it took like four seconds

to keep looking up his head almost touches the ceiling and for anyone who has been in that building like in that press conference room that is not a short ceiling. That is a pretty high ceiling for Giants.

- It's built for Giants and he's still almost didn't fit. It's crazy and speaking of tall guys and elevators

“talk of fall, you have to sit down and back into the elevator.”

- You know, if Bama and I was playing for another team, I would circulate the "I'm sick of being in the play" and quote as we got our next whale. - Zzahemma, you're a bit of a story.

You're just a bit of a rat and then you're a bit of a stump.

- No, no, I'm not. I'm a bit of a story, so my safe space. - Hmm, you're a bit of a thing, right? - Yeah, exactly.

“I'm a bit of a story, so I'm a bit of a story,”

- With Stugots. (upbeat music) - Let's go ahead and play this sound because BAM is bothered by this and I just don't know what you do.

They aren't topped out.

“This is as well as these human beings can play.”

I know it's an imperfect science, the draft, okay? Did you guys see this last night? 'Cause hero and BAM have absolutely been maximized

by this organization as mid first round picks.

But did you guys not notice with, I mean, obviously Wemby, but castle as well, like you can see top five talents what they look like, they look different than the other players.

It's the reason when you're going through the meat market that is, let's scan the world for the greatest athletes we can find to be better than all these other great athletes. Oh, this guy's top five means something that this guy's top 13 doesn't.

Like, I mean, you can explain this as someone who's worked in a front office, the difference between five and 13 when you're scanning the world and you're finding somebody who's the fifth best prospect.

- Yeah, no, absolutely. Obviously the idea that they got all stars in that zone is testament to scouting, like being able to count,

recognize but also development, right?

- We all know what BAM was when he came in the league. It wasn't this, he was a poor man's Tristan Thompson, according to the George Sedona. (laughing) - Is that it?

- Yeah, well that's going in.

“- No, George Sedona relayed that that's how people were talking”

about him when he came into the league. He can be at the high end to poor man's Tristan's side. - Yeah, he shared scout chatter when he drafted him. - I like it being, I like it being, George's video. - My point, though, I mean, is it's lost

that whatever it is that the league generally applies to the heat and say they know how to develop players. So to San Antonio and they've got three top five picks, Miami's never had that. They've got three top five picks and traded for an all star.

And traded for Sacramento's last good player. - Trade it for an all star that the Miami heat were in on do. - So they turned BAM into a rich man's Tristan Thompson? - Yes.

- Nice. - Justin Thompson is a rich man's Tristan's Tristan. - He's a rich man's Tristan. - He's a rich man's Tristan. - Well, Brian got him a lot of money.

Let's play the sound here of BAM's saying he's fed up. - I mean, he's seeing what I've been doing in the last whatever amount of games. And you know, I don't want to be able to play in. So some of that is, yeah, he's got to protect me

from myself, but also like, I don't plan. So every game I'm going to try to go out there and do the best I can to carry this team and force all the out of that. - I want to get some sound here from Dwayne Wade,

if you guys remember way back. When Mike says this sounds like disgruntled superstar, the things that he's saying. His body language and his frustration remind me of what Dwayne said when he got eliminated

in the playoff says the solo act and said, I'm not doing it this way anymore. I'm not playing this way anymore. And then they went and formed the big three. He's like, I'm not going out.

BAM's got to be tired of this. There's too much effort being poured into BAM from BAM. Everything's built around him. He's the untradable one. I know he gets a bad rap from people who want him to be better.

He's great. He's a really great basketball player. He can be frustrating. You can want him to be better. But BAM out of Baya would be valuable to any basketball team

not just his attitude, the entire package, anybody in the league would want that guy on their team. And only because what the standard has been here for 15 years is he now the scapegoat for you're not good enough. He's not, but BAM's okay if he yells out at the organization.

Hey, I need more help. Like this is a star. This is a star basketball player, not just a all star. One of the 15 best in the, one of the 20. I mean, where would you put him like,

want him to be better all you want? BAM out of Baya, when B says, hey, it's both sides of the game. It's not just offense. It's this guy's, this guy's go bearish in his ability to be a defensive player the year and guards all five.

He's better than everybody, but maybe when B. And he's better than everybody in the league isn't defensive.

“You like the Thompson, who's your defensive player of the year?”

No, I mean, well, it would be WEMB if it weren't for the stupid rule. But yeah, no, I mean, BAM, absolutely. There's a reason, like, as you guys malign them, they're two and a half back from the five seat. Like that, and that's because he's that good.

He's good enough to raise everybody first of all.

He makes that team, we're talking about yesterday. Oh, they're only an average defensive team against elite offenses or elite, elite teams. Five straight games. If you get up like 130 points, I mean,

it's terrible against the game. I don't know what team was going to shut down that last night. You could say that on the average 136 points of spurs. The spurs are really good, but the spurs are really good offensively. And I would say there are very few players in the league at the end.

They lost the Houston game. Hey, BAM, go guard the guy over there. We call them us on guardable guy in the league. It's fifth in the league and scoring history. Fifth in the league, just past Michael Jordan and he can.

Like it's a, it's an absurd request to make of your center. Go guard, go guard Kevin Durant on the perimeter and he did it and he does it. Like, but he's frustrated and worse worse because of how this guy cares. And you could speak to this Cody worse. Everyone's blaming him for not being good enough.

And I'm like, how good do you want him to be? He's overachieved and he's a mid-right men first round pick. But he's overachieved in every single way that overachievement can be overachieved. He's a great player. And I don't think anybody doesn't think he's a great player.

And when you score 83 points, by the way, it enables you to take a whole different level of leadership and commentary like that. And look, he's frustrated, but who wouldn't be? This is their fourth straight year in the play end, which is barely the playoffs. And he should be frustrated.

They got to build around him. It's the reason Jimmy Butler left, essentially, right? I mean, they didn't build around him.

“The problem with building around him is that you need to get someone better than him.”

Right.

The problem is that he could be the 16th best player in the world and still be a number

two. If he's the second best player on the team, then they have something. And they haven't been able to do that. Yeah. Like, I'm watching last night, for example, he said, oh, the spurs score 136 points.

Jeremy, I mean, what's your name Roy? I'm Roy. Okay. How many of those baskets were because heat offense failed? And then they just got an easy basket in the end.

Like, it wasn't a whole lot of, oh my God, we can't guard these guys although obviously, he's been doing some crazy things. But a lot of it was just the heat offense isn't good. I've been saying it from the beginning of the year. You guys are like, oh, number one, I'm like, this isn't a good offense, guys.

This isn't a good offense. They struggle to generate points. And I think that part of that is Dan, when you talk about people's frustrations with

“BAM is because if you're a best player, why can't we count on you offensively like that every”

night? Just the part that frustrates me when we say things like, yeah, they're only two and a half games back of number five in the Eastern Conference. They just won seven in a row. We were feeling really good about it.

We're literally at the home stretch of the regular season and they lost five in a row. Like, five losses in a row is really bad if you're a good team. And two of those five losses are by 25 last night and by 30 to lose to the Hornet. That's about to lose to Morgan. Franklin, they're getting smoked in some of these games.

So the Charlotte game was without BAM, which we've just told you, well, no, it's not whatever. He's by far their best player. They lost by 30 to a team that's played well. I'm looking at team that's one seven of its last 12 has a couple of good wins in there.

They beat Detroit. They beat Houston on the road. They beat Charlotte on the road. No, but in all seriousness when it comes to BAM and the frustration that you're talking

about, that quote came because in the second quarter, he and Spau were going at it on the

bench when Spau took him out because he was trying to match his minutes with Wembe's. And he was bringing in Colau where to go up against Luc Cornette. And so he was specifically about that sort of, you know, going head to head. When Spau was asked about, he's like, I love it. You know, we go with each other.

We love each other when it was BAM what he was saying is, yeah, I'm first of it. I don't want to come out of the game. He's trying to save me from myself because I can't play every single minute, but I don't

That's why I want to play. That's here from Eric Spaulestra here before I transition to bigger winners in town. The universe here, my football team had its pro day and I want to talk about that. I love that about BAM. He and I are barking at each other.

“I mean, that's why I love him, you know, I think he loves me.”

But even if he does it, I have to do a special for the team. I don't want to just play him 24 straight minutes every half, you know, if I'm forced

to do it like in Houston, I'll do it, you know, but this is the first half I didn't think

that was necessary. You know, so some of the minutes, yeah, you know, the majority of the minutes, there would be a matchup, but it didn't have to be all the minutes, you know, for us. The idea that these guys like the conflict and that the conflict doesn't mean anything, but I, yeah, what an interesting thing to live in a world where the coach can say and

actually, no, yeah, I love him and he loves me. It's an unusual thing, I don't think I can do that right now with the dolphins. I could probably, I don't know if I could, do you think I could do it with Paul Maurice? Where where the relationship is actual love, yeah, he's my coach, but he's my teacher and he saw what I was when I got here and I've grown it aside for nine years, like, let's

explore for a second, how many relationships in our market have what you would describe as actual love, because I do believe those two people actually love each other. They do. You'd have to go to college outside of that to find that Paul Maurice had a great quote the other day, as he often does, we're not at the end of our story.

We're in the middle of it and this season has been such a disappointment, but he's got the credibility when he says that stuff, you trust him.

“Oh, also, I think Paul Maurice and his Panthers had that lovey,”

dovey vibe when they were winning two championships and were, oh, everybody was talking about, you know, the narrative was how great it is to go to work, and that's fine. Call them murder on. But I also apologize to his face and then he told me that he loves me. That's a big deal being able to admit that you're wrong and proud of you.

Yes, so we're good. That's my dog, Paul Maurice.

I thought being in love means never having to say so you're sorry.

It's a good point. How do you feel about how you said to say is there? Okay. I thought no one was going to notice it. Mike, yesterday at Pro Day, we learned basically that the University of Miami is going

to have four first round picks in the draft, two of them edge rushers, there were a lot of scouts there. Over 100. We haven't had that many scouts from the NFL since the university Miami was winning natties.

“And Kianta Scott, I think was the main headline or there, although Carson Beck continues”

a very strong draft. Because he ran so fast for those who don't know, Kianta Scott clocked a 433, or 433 official. There were unofficial reports that it was sub 433, which was insane. But Kianta Scott is one of those guys that you wish was around here a little bit longer because he was an absolute dog and jumped off the screen. You could see it and feel it live.

His impact was so immense for this team. I didn't hear anybody talking first round pick though until yesterday. Yeah. He was kind of fringe. I was insisting on it because when they snap the ball, this guy is just absolute

dynamite. Any plays a position that with the analytics movement in the NFL, like having those guys on the inside being able to blitz, it's such an immense skill set for defensive coordinators. Kianta Scott, I think solidified first round draft status, Mesodor probably first round draft pick too.

So you got four, which means Mario Christmas ball outside of the national championship win. He got to the final. He's done everything that he said he would do. I mean, a hundred scouts at your pro day, four first rounders.

This is the sort of a talent rich run for the universe. It can be said without any equivocation, okay. If you buy your way into the top of the game and then do what Miami did last season and then a hundred scouts rate your facility and you've got four first round picks, it can

be said that that $90 million right now, if we were to stop right now, has been paid for.

It has been a success. There is no disputing that Mario Christmas ball has earned all of that money and he will make it back for the University of Miami in spades. The question of, is UM back? No, that's not a question anymore.

When the scouts rate this pro day and then you become the next place that can be the pipeline, the way his Alabama team was when he was the recruiter for an excitement, you got a pipeline to this. You've dropped this in the middle of Miami, look man, it's been a long time since I've seen that many scouts where you see the dolphins wander over and they're like, we've got

to see everything that's over here, everything because that team might have in the weeds something in the fourth round and that's the economy of football hasn't mattered like that at the University of Miami in a long time.

where the first round picks go, that changes everything in terms of how easy recruiting

become. In the Miami dolphins don't have a great history of drafting hurricanes players, but they're

“going to have a very interesting choice this year picking 11th because I think just about”

all of these four players we're talking about might be on the board at 11, or maybe two will be gone, but they will have their choice of a top four cane at 11. This is an exciting thing and if you saw Dion Sanders is now finding his players in Colorado,

“I'd argue that paid for itself too, but the way that this is all happened, Colorado”

was a million miles away from this, from all the scouts are at our facility, they come

to us and one of the guys run something that people are saying might be under four three. It was worth it from attention currency, but Mario Christmas worth it for both attention

“currency and currency currency because with the revenue sharing built the way that it is”

thankfully, FSU and Clemson made the sink that they did, Miami made a ton of money off of last year's football run.

And yeah, the arrows pointing up today is the first day of spring football.

It means Darren Mensa takes the field for the first time in orange and green, exciting times. You know about that currency currency? It's a t-shirt.
