Could you imagine solely focusing on the NBA like if that was your job like oh I’m an NBA I’d be like oh this is just not fun yeah at some point you just got to be honest about it like there’s there’s a lot of it that like people get

Worked up about that just it’s not interesting and then like a lot of why not though it’s just too there’s too much drama it’s too much like you know the load management stuff people it just doesn’t sit well with people like there’s just you know the inseason

Tournament like it just lot of it feels really gimmicky until you get to the playoffs and then things ratchet up a little bit and then it’s fun but even in the playoffs because it’s a seven game series there’s times where like a team will be down it’s it’s not that for me

It just doesn’t feel as physical the the game’s too spread out it feels like it’s like a isolation basketball it doesn’t feel like what it used to feel like where you know guys were going to the rim guys were you know just it was a different style of play

Ant-Man is Ant-Man be going to that room boy oh Anthony Edwards great he’s fun he goes after it dog the only ones yeah he get but def defensively it’s not the like you as a defensive player should be able to recognize there’s not as much physicality as there used to be no I

Agree that’s it’s funny because I I may I alluded to it coming into the show Rob Parker said he thinks that Caitlyn Clark play in the NBA he said just figure out a way to get her to run off of some some picks and some screens you there’s so

Much open space as as long as you can shoot I mean if she can handle the the the switching of of the the weight of the ball I mean why couldn’t she well it’s kind of a big I mean it’ be an interesting shake up it’s kind kind of a

Big deal it’ be an interesting shake up if Caitlyn Clark could play I mean big three offered there some money to come play I mean that’s against dudes isn’t it they don’t have a women they don’t have a women’s three I mean I I’m not quite sure Rob

Was able to keep a straight face while giving that take I don’t know like that’s that seems like one of those ones where he puts it together and then goes well here goes nothing and just kind of throws it on the air and then we uh if

LeBron wasn’t so old would you have the the argument and the discussion point if LeBron is playing in a league that actually could support a Caitlyn Clark making it in that League how can you say how can you have a goat conversation cuz no girl would be able

To play woman excuse me no woman would be able to play in in the in the 9s you’re not making it in the 90s it’s too physical just way too physical the physicality of basketball is not there in today’s NBA there is a lot of kind of

Going through the motions there is a lot of just you know dribble to half court pull up shoot yeah but you had designated Shooters like you had guys like Tim legler Steve Kerr they weren’t driving to the basket Craig hod Mark Price come on dude I mean if you got

Somebody who can penetrate a defense and get deep on in there like get real deep into the paint and and challenge the rim there’s going to be someone open spotting up that that was that that was 90s basketball that was how it worked you had somebody that was a

Slasher and they either going to the rim or they’re going to kick it out to the guy that’s open and all the open guy had to do was make the shot I mean what else did you see Craig Craig Hodges do honestly like no no no

Shade but I’m just saying what else did you see Craig Hodges do other than spot up and shoot win the Three-Point Contest I think he wenton like two or three times if I’m not mistaken so if she was a designated shooter why would that be so outlandish to think that she could

Play in in the NBA I mean at a glance it sounds ridiculous to say it but in the end she is the greatest college basketball player to ever play and it’s been based upon her ability to really shoot from anywhere on the court so why would that

Be outlandish I was going to ask this question like is she the greatest ever to play just because she has the scoring title I mean I think I wouldn’t I wouldn’t say that but because LeBron’s gonna has a scoring title and people still view Michael Jordan better some

People still view Kobe Bryant as better I mean depends on who you ask with all that like it like but everybody’s given the same but everybody’s given the same amount of time in college though like it it’s like you have a a you have a set

Amount of time that you can get to the record yeah but much like we kind of pointed out how the game’s changed over time because people want to compare Kaylin Clark’s you know records to P marovic right they didn’t have a three-point line they didn’t have a shot

Clock he did it in three years like the amount of points he had so not not to say it’s it’s Apples to Apples because it’s a you know a male to a female but there there are there have been those changes in the game if Rob Parker’s out there saying

That she could play in the NBA then why why not compare them I I personally am not really trying to compare off that that’s fair I I can’t really I mean Rob Parker also doesn’t look at Tom Brady is the you know greatest quarterback he’s

The L the luckiest of all time stop it huh so I I can’t respond to everything Rob Parker thinks I mean I tell you this right now and I hope he hears this if there’s one thing I hate it’s Rob Parker I’ll say that right now I hope he hears

That screw you I’m still trying to get some of his merch he told me he would send some but then I I think he was trying to get me an Apple Pam or something hey I you can’t really hook up a coworker with your merch yeah he want

Your uh you need your information he’s got to make that happen the worst is like I was back there one time when I was in studio cuz he’s got like those patches or whatever on there he’s got like The Branding yeah I started to peel that off cuz I noticed it was starting

To fall off I was like oh this yeah barely stays on it’s a mall kiosk special he goes to the the kiosk at the mall and he gets him patched on and then slings him for triple the price that’s Rob Parker and and his by the way

Ordering from him if you work here the $495 shipping and handling is him going up to the fourth floor pulling it out of a cardboard box and bringing it down the elevator that’s what 495 is and and then didn’t even bother wrapping it just handed me the shirt I said did you just

Get this from upstairs he goes yeah I’m like yeah why’ I pay $4.95 shipping and handling well I handed it to you didn’t I like I just PA $5 but I could have just grabbed it from the box upstairs you just go give Rob $5 next time you

See them like all right here it is that’s that’s what you get charged for the shipping and hand conversation with Rob just like he’ll figure out a way all the time um so there it is there’s the there’s our coverage Kaitlin Clark does she take the five million or no yes or

No I don’t think so no I mean one wouldn’t you think she would have Chase championships in the WNBA if she could I mean I feel like she can do both it but it it turns into a spectacle if she wants to be respected I mean if you

Can hoop in the big three and ball out and then go be a baller in the WNBA why would that be a spect to that point don’t you feel like it’s it’s becoming something where like oh now we’re just offering her money because we feel like she’s going to draw attention she’s

Going to bring viewership 100% you know it’s like there’s like is there legitimacy behind long-term her playing in it or is it more just about the early on drawing attention to the big three and they kind of see them where it goes I think you got to see where it goes but

If you’re going to invest in something go big with it that’s pretty big I mean if you think about it who is hotter in the sport of basketball than Caitlyn Clark and to that point right now in March who in sports oh show show but but who else but who else that’s probably

Not why you want to be h i mean that’s a little infamy there even though it shouldn’t necessarily be but it’s it’s my only question is if they lose right in their next round match versus Colorado which I think they should win but if they were to lose how much hype

Is there still around it I mean I’m still going to watch cuz I think Notre Dame’s going to be organ state and they’ll have a shot they’ll probably have to play South Carolina to get to the finals but like it’s I I don’t know

I look at it I I just I wonder how much attention will there still be at that she’s gotten so much attention on the sport of women’s basketball it has been ridiculous yeah I mean it’s ridiculous so I I mean if if you’re going to offer

Her $5 million to come play 10 weeks Max 9 weeks you come up short eight weeks is a regular season and you can do that and you’re going and and I guess on average what what WNBA players the highest paid they make what like 100 Grand a year or something like that it

Was like 300 okay 300 Grand even if it’s 300 Grand you get five million to go play salary I I don’t know what they can make in endorsements but would you think she’s still going to make those in endorsements anyway I don’t know I don’t know if the the

Partnerships um of the big three are as big as the WNBA yeah but what I’m saying is she’s still going to get the WNBA endorsements anyway well you’re you’re assuming she’s playing in both I would assume that if she did it she would do both I don’t think that she would choose

One over the other they might the big three might be saying they like they’re making her choose one of the other cuz otherwise you don’t have exclusivity to I I think Ice Cube came out said that she could do both in his inter he did an interview

With McAfee I I think he said that that she could you you you saw it too Eddie yeah yeah yeah so I I I would do both $5 million and and that’s you’re not coming close to that in the WNBA in a year she could do both all she wants I’m not

Watching either so have fun let you know wow there’s a lot going on shots fired I don’t know what to tell you it’s cold blooded there’s just a lock Cold Blood he’s cold blooded Cold Blood there just there there’s a lot going on and I don’t

Have time to watch Caitlyn Clark in the big three all right I just and if it’s Joe Clark that’s different yeah you’re play basketball don’t you like well go ahead and jump uh but you know my my my my the invation has fallen by the way didn’t poroy offer her 10 million Lee

Like Dave Dave pornoy offered her 10 million I think they play their their bar stool yeah the in mural now that one that’s the one $10 million to play because you know I would choose that and I would choose that over to yes she would dominate but I would I would

Make them commit to like 3 four years like you got to give me a four year fiveyear deal of 10 million or more and then just bail why not why not quick 40 million I don’t give a damn at that point why not WNBA please kick rocks 10 million a year come

On man yeah well we’ll see what Happ for poroi yeah
