Amber Athey: Liberals Still Can't Define Different Types of Guns
"And then you say to them give me one example where gun controls actually work What are they going to come back with every time Australia it was super successful To which I always say to them really you can go on your phone right now and just put this article in Australia institute more guns now than before the gun ban after Port Arthur And the argument makes no sense There are more guns now So if you're saying there are less mass shootings then you're saying more guns equal less mass shootings I mean they don't they don't even know what they're talking about They have zero clue I was in The White House briefing room yesterday with Korea Jean Pierre And of course the literal the little liberal drones who are always on script asked Kareem about the president's gun control agenda And he went on this long rant about banning assault weapons and to the reporters credit he actually said semi-automatic firearms as opposed to assault weapons because I guess they kind of figured out at this point that that's a useless just propaganda term but Korea Jean Pierre which is traveling on about how the president is committed to the agenda of getting rid of these assault weapons and she also used that old tired phrase What did the war an AR-15 is the most popular semi-automatic rifle in the United States The only reason that it's popped up more often in these school shootings is because there's just so many of them They're basically ubiquitous It's just the fact that they focus on a gun that's no different than a Glock essentially in the way that it operates so absurd

The Biden Admin Cares About 'Firsts' Not the 'Best'
"So it all became about firsts in the last two years. Right? The Biden administration said, you know, we have to have a secretary of transportation because that's just the way the whole thing operates. So who are you going to get, mister president? Are you going to get someone who has a lot of experience in the transportation field? Are you going to get somebody who really knows about the operations of interstate highways or railroads or airplanes or I don't know, whatever it is that the Department of Transportation? No, no, Jeff. We're looking for first. So look, we found this guy, Pete Buttigieg. And what's his qualification? Well, he's got two qualifications, really. Number one on the transportation front as a child he owned a train set, so I mean, really. Can you get much better than that? And number two, which is really number one, because this is a first, he's gay. So he will be the first ever gay secretary of transportation to which I respond who cares. Is he the best person for the job, Jeff? We don't deal in bests. We deal in firsts. Our current minister of propaganda. Kareem John Pierre. The best? Gosh, all you have to do is watch or listen to one of her briefings and you know. Not the best even if everybody else didn't bother showing up. She's still not the best. But she's a first. Right? She's the first black immigrant, lesbian, press secretary. Does anybody really care about that? Honest to goodness, is there anybody sitting at home going, oh, that is fantastic. Of course not.

Karine Jean-Pierre: No Plans Currently for Joe Biden to Travel to Ohio
"And as for whether or not Biden should go to Ohio, he can fly all the way over to Poland, but he can't go to east Palestinian Ohio, and you know, as I've said all week, this is a perfect metaphor. This is globalism. Versus a domestic agenda. This is putting Ukraine's interests ahead of the American people. And it's really hard to dispute how there seems to be a matter of an administration ignoring a white rural Trump supporting community. What else could explain it? Yesterday, Kareem Jean Pierre was asked about President Biden and any travel plans he might have to go to east Palestinian. President going to go to Ohio Kareem. I don't have at this time I don't have anything to read out or announce on a travel to Ohio. No, nothing to announce. Nothing in my binder, sorry, believe me if there's anything in that binder. I'll find it.

"His greatest scoring of like if you rewatch game 6 of the 2013 finals against San Antonio, that's the Ray Allen game. It's an incredible LeBron scoring game and it kind of sneaks up on you ate 16 points in the fourth quarter of that game. He scored in 7 baskets I think in 7 different ways and you kind of like, wow, he had, he had 16 points, that's a lot of points. And the other thing is his best skill has always been passing. And I guess in some ways that makes it hard to process that he's at all time grade score. To me, those things interact, these skills are not separate things. They amplify each other. They lift each other up. His passing helped him become the best score volume wise in the history of the NBA. Because when you know, no matter what helps scheme we send to him, he is going to pick it apart. Think about what that does to your defense. Think about the uncertainty that it inflicts on you. Harrison Barnes told me our golden rule with the warriors was we got to show him bodies. So when LeBron gets to all the triple threat, he's got to see layers of defense behind him. So he knows the rims blocked off. He's got to find another solution. But the sub golden rule was, those bodies, they can't be aligned the same way to possessions in a row. Two possessions in a row. It's a no go because if he's seen it once, he'll have it figured out. Think about what that does to your defense because of this passing. Think about how that makes it easier for him to score because you're worried about all the other stuff he might do with the ball. Anyway, back to last night shot the fade away over Ken ritch Williams. LeBron told me the biggest shot of his career. The one he's proudest of is not a buzzer beater. It's not some crazy dramatic shot. It's the simple 19 foot pull up to. On the pick and roll, he hit with about 30 seconds left in game 7 of the 2013 finals against the spurs to put Miami up for. Too early in the game to say he clinched it for him, but up four with like 26 seconds or whatever it was left. It's now a free throw contest, where if you take care of your free throws, you win. And it's a very simple shot. Rewatch it, it looks like it could happen with 8 minutes left in the second quarter. Oh, you went under a screen, I got room, I'm gonna shoot. It's the proudest shot of his career because it's a shot that teams made him take for so long. It's a shot that he even told me in the middle of that finals. He began to grow discouraged. That's the word he used discouraged with his jump shot because the spurs were giving it to him and in his view he wasn't punishing them enough. He was discouraged. Eric spoelstra has told me that's the shot he had to conquer it's a shot they gave him and it's a shot he had to conquer to become a champion and now he's a four time champion. And the last thing I'll say is Matt Moore, my friend and colleague over the years is that the action network now tweeted last night something to young fans and we're old now. Young fans, you will, you will understand someday the profundity of watching an entire play. A player's entire career from start to finish in like an invested, maybe professional, maybe not professional way, and holy cow did that tweet speak to me. Because my entire career covering basketball has been LeBron. I mean, it's totally asymmetrical relationship to LeBron barely knows who I am. I have thought and watched and seen all the highs and lows, the comic sans letter, the decision, the heels, introduction, the meltdown in Dallas, the triumphs, the following years, the Cleveland thing in game 7 coming back against the warriors I've seen all of it. I've thought about how much he's changed the game, how the game has changed around him during his career. And to be there last night after being there or thinking about so many other moments, was a really awesome experience. So congratulations to LeBron James, the all time leading scorer in the history of the NBA. Congratulations to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who handed off the baton in the dignified way you would expect from the all time greatest statesman maybe along with Bill Russell in the history of basketball. And let's bring on Tim McMahon to talk about the Dallas Mavericks. The NFL playoffs are here in the

"And now, the low post. Welcome to the low post podcast early on a Wednesday morning in Los Angeles. The day after LeBron James passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the all time leading score in the history of the NBA. I was there. And I have to say, I was actually more moved to be there than I thought I would be. You know, there was some joking among media members before the game that nobody under 35 even cares about this record. It's a record. It's not a record you know by heart. You know, a lot of the baseball records you can name the number specifically by heart. This isn't one. In basketball is always been kind of weird with records. It has total records, per game records, separate playoff records, then you have the three point shots starting to dominate the game ten years ago, 15 years ago, that totally changed everything. It's like hard to know which records to count. But man, last night, last night at crypto, I actually got it crypto. It was just joyous. It was joyous all around to be there. And the fact that he needed 30 6 points actually kind of helped because there was like, there was suspense. That's a lot of points. And he clearly wanted to break it. The first possession of the game he came out like a freight train and missed, or maybe it was a turnover. I can't remember, and he hadn't scored for four or 5 minutes in the game. It's like, oh my God, is he not gonna break it? Is he gonna get close and not break it? He's gonna stop trying to break it because he realizes the odds are against him. He'll do it in some anti climactic way against the bucks on Thursday where he needs 9 points and everyone's gonna, everyone knows he's gonna break it. It was really cool. And when he got to 20 at halftime, you kind of sensed, okay. Okay, I think it's gonna happen. And it's just such an enormous number. 38,000 whatever it is. It's enormous. Think about it. That's just enormous. And I think the weight of that, the volume of it, everybody can appreciate that. Just how much work and time and longevity and excellence that takes. Remember, it's not just longevity. He's like the fourth or 5th highest per game scoring average in the history of the league. He's going to get to 40,000 by himself 40,000 points. He's the all time leading score in the playoffs by a mile. And yeah, of course, there are more and longer playoff series now with every series being a 7 game series than there were when some of the other great scores played. Who cares? Do you really care? The dude made 8 straight finals. 8 straight. There are entire NBA franchises who have not made one finals. LeBron, as a traveling human franchise, made 8 in a row. By the time you got to 28, he went from 20 to 28 really fast in the third quarter. And that's when you knew, okay, there's no way he's leaving this on the table at 28 with like 20 minutes left in the game. A game, by the way, the Lakers needed to win and did it and that's a whole different story. Everybody was standing after 28, even though there's no 8 point basket. Everybody was standing. Everybody had their phones out and normally I hate when people have their phones out at events like this because you can just watch it with your eyes. Just watch it with your eyes, let it wash over you. You'll see the tape of it in a million other places, listen to it, experience it, and everyone's doing it just to post it on social media and be like, see I was here. I'm very cool. I was at this cool thing, but I actually, it looked kind of cool. I was about ten rows back in the press section, very close to the court. I luckily had a very good seat. And the shot happened right in front of me when he broke it. And I just kind of, everyone was standing. You couldn't see the game if you weren't standing. So the press we were the last ones to send. It's not really appropriate for us to stand where in people's way were there to cover the game, but we couldn't see the game. So everyone stands. And everyone had their phone out in the same pose like the Statue of Liberty pose, and it was very cool to kind of just look around the crowd. Normally you see that in like a dark concert and the phones are all lit up. It was cool to see it in a lit up arena. It just looked kind of cool. And it was very fitting that the shot with apologies to Thomas Bryant, who wanted the ball poor guy, that the shot was a fadeaway jump, our fadeaway, two point shot. That's a scores shot. It's a Jordan shot. It's a Kobe shot. It's a Dirk shot. It's a shot that LeBron has worked really, really hard on. He's very, very proud of it. He's very well aware. That when people have talked about who's the best pure score, not even in the history of the NBA in LeBron's prime, who's the best pure scorer? He was in the second tier that discussion behind Kobe behind Durant behind Carmelo Anthony guys who were considered sort of more artistic scores than he is. And he worked really, really hard on that shot. And I think one of the reasons he's not oftentimes put in that sort of pure score category is I think and he's talked a lot about this, including with me, I don't think he has like a signature shot in the half court. We all know his signature in his signature move really is probably his transition freight train left to right spin, which is completely unstoppable and then the dunks, the tomahawk dunks. And all of that, you know, his signature play, the greatest play of LeBron's career, the play they're gonna make a statue of someday, is a defensive play. The chase down block on Andre Goodall, I don't even have to tell you what play was. It was a play so spectacular that I was sitting in press row at the finals at Oracle arena while game 7 was going on. I leaped out of my seat, ran over ten seats away to a monitor that was about 15 seconds behind the action because I had to see immediately if he actually blocked that shot or if it hit the backboard first and it was a goal ten. The game was going on. The championship was at stake and I had to leap from my seat to get clarity on like did that guy just do that? That was crazy. And some of his biggest scoring games are known for the feats of other players. Ray Allen shut, Kyrie Irving shot, JR Smith, forgetting what the score was. But that fade away a few people I interviewed about LeBron recently, including Larry and Larry niche junior, his teammate in Cleveland said they would argue that fade away is his signature shot. And Larry Nance's favorite memory of LeBron is a score. He was on this team, was in 2018 and the second round against the raptors in Toronto, the poor raptors, who really thought they had a shot. They really did. Down one O in the most anticipated series at that point, probably in the history of the franchise. Getting blown to smithereens and game two on their home floor. Series is over. You lose two games at home, you know it's over. And LeBron is just bored with the game. Just bored. And he's decides in the fourth quarter. I'm just gonna have my own personal game of like, can I make one ridiculous fadeaway turnaround jump shot in the post after another? And he did. He made like 5 or 6 in a row. We're on press roll. I was at that game too. Like laughing at the guy just clowning the raptors with one fadeaway jumper after they're laughing at that he's so bored with the entire concept of this team daring to compete against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the playoffs. Do you just staging his own personal game? So Larry nich junior would argue that's his signature shot. To me, I don't know that it is because it feels like just his version of other people's signature shots. And again, I think that's one of the reasons why the pure score discourse unfolds, the way it is, by the way, I mentioned the JR Smith game. That was game one of the 2018 finals. 51 points, 8 assists and rebounds 19 of 32 shooting. From my money, it's the best game LeBron's ever played. It might be the best game I've ever seen anybody play.

"Yeah, I mean, I was just kind of surprised that he kind of just did this and walked around, you know, threw his arms out and walked around on the court. And I was just like because of the tension between those two because of, you know, I mean, Kareem man, he's 75, bro, we lost Bill Russell. Within the last few months, I'm looking at Kareem, I'm like, man, this we don't know how much longer he'll be around here, but I just thought it would have been, I wish, Kareem did his best in that moment to make it about LeBron or whatever. And I just felt like he wasn't as warm as it could have been. Like, I was moved by them handing the ball to each other. I was moved by the things that Kareem said afterward, but I just wish that it had felt a little warmer. That was the other weird piece of it. Yeah. 'cause I do think, and this isn't LeBron's responsibility just to be clear. But it would have been a good time to shine light on who was becoming one of the great underrated figures in players. There's a dot coming out on Netflix soon about Bill Russell that I just watched in advance copy of. It's pretty interesting. But what was interesting is sing Russell in his time, and I saw more footage of Bill Russell playing basketball than I probably had seen. And like the idea of Bill Russell like being cool and Bill Russell retiring from the NBA and trying to do comedy on late night shows. And stuff like that. These are things that we just don't think about because basically we think of Bill Russell as being like an ogre that stops anybody from getting up shots. When in reality, he was a high flying undersized center that was actually very exciting to watch play. On top of all the serious stuff or whatever. But his era of the NBA is not well documented and not well shared. The footage of the guys actually playing and just kind of the documentation of what went on in that era where the baby boomers, they canonize their own time, they did it with baseball. Right. They didn't really do it with basketball to football. The NFL caught up later with NFL films, but the NBA just never did a great job at it. People don't really have a great concept of the idea that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar walked into the NBA in 1969 is probably the best player in the league and was the best player in the league until 1980.

"I mean, they're players. The whole problem with go get me some help with what? And his thing is that 2027 and 2029 pick and the truth, those pics and the truth is, there was one guy that you could get with those and he just went to Dallas. Yeah. Well, I think I really got more. I mean, it's a start. A nice little pickup. That was the thing that so you talk about sort of processing it. That the record is a record in and of itself. And that is a great moment. It actually, as I was watching it, it washed over me, and I was like, man, I've been watching LeBron. He isn't entire life, man. His basketball life and then you see Kareem come out. And I'm old enough to remember what Karim was an effective NBA player. And you can just see all of this wave of NBA history passing over me. And then you're like, man, they're down 5 to the thunder at home. It's like this is LeBron said, I couldn't imagine being in a better situation than this. I was like, you couldn't, for real? You thought it would be like, you thought it was gonna be like this? Dude, that's like, you know, I've said that, I think he should stop playing, but it's not because he can't play because obviously he can still play. But I'm looking at it and I'm like, dude, what's left in this, man. Man, bro now that you got this score in record. And I mean, Kareem had that record for 30 9 years. 39 years. Babe Ruth was the home run record holder. I forget what the exact number was, but I want to say it was like four years longer than that. Or something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, we don't think of this record as being as entrenched in that way. But in this game, this is what it is. And I think I said this earlier, but the thing that makes it wild about Kareem, he was the first 20 year player. Like, so and there haven't been that many since. It didn't seem possible that something like this could ever happen ever at all, and then the guys also number four in assists. But he's not number four in the cis in a way that's just 'cause he don't play the zillion games. Yeah. No, I mean, 'cause he's been one of the greatest four leaders in NBA history. Yeah, yeah. Nobody, nobody ever, nobody had any reason to believe that this would ever happen. I mean, again, as a kid, people didn't talk about the NBA career scoring record when we were children. But it was just acknowledged that that is an impossible record that may take forever. Because again, a Korean was an alien. Nobody had ever played that long, and even though it's a little more common now, like I think dirt, didn't Dirk make 20 years, I think. Yeah, Derek got around to any like Paul Pierce got there, Jason Terry, Robert Parrish, but none of them look like this. Nothing like that. In year 20.

"100% and uncharacteristically in it for LeBron James. Oh yeah. And a bunch of other dudes who for whatever reason. Not passing judgment on this. I'm just saying it seems like a difference. That love the LeBron seemed to have with all his teammates at all these other stops. It ain't there in this one. Well, I mean, who are these guys, man? I mean, but even Anthony Davis, like people like people are saying that Anthony Davis, it was a weird scene with him all around, not just him not getting up. Now granted, this is the other part. They play it for something and they did 13 seed and they just lost to a team that they are behind in the standings that people were saying coming into the year was tanking. Right? Yeah, when I looked up and the thunders ranked ahead of the Lakers in the stand, I'm like, and y'all supposed to be playing for web and Yama. Like, what are y'all doing? You know what I'm saying? The tank is over there. Yeah. Like this team of young guys that we still can't name and with shit holmgren, Alfred a year, they beat y'all because they bettered in y'all. Man. It wasn't even like LeBron was trying to get this and it felt like it was at the expense of the team, though I heard by Greenberg pointed out this board. He was like, Russell Westbrook still put up 19. But they were still, they're still playing for something. And he wants, he wants a lot of them gone though, man. We're going through a cycle where they are a lot of his teammates know, I can't win with y'all. Please somebody, please got even send me Kyrie. Please. Yeah, I totally get it, but that ain't making it better, right? And so where it's weird is I don't blame or necessarily judge LeBron that this was a night that was all about him because this is so incredible. What he pulled off, right? But it seemed very clear that the guys on his team were not nearly as understanding of this. Oh, yeah. As I appear to be in this bowl. I mean, they all are supposedly playing. One of the funniest pictures I saw from last night was oh boy, Thomas Bryant, call her for the ball in the post when LeBron fired up the record.

"The people talked about, it was his court sense, and the passes that he was making to his teammates to everybody was like, wow. This guy's like, feel for the game is unreal. Like obviously he dominated, I think he made school at like 30 points against oak hill. And this one okay was the program. But it was his passing that everybody was like, oh, this guy might be somebody special. Yeah. The thing about him with the scoring at all those points was it was the best idea. But not in the way, obviously, give Michael Jordan the ball, let him go score. Yeah, that's the best idea. But it wasn't like it was concluded to be the best idea while weighing this whole matrix of variables. And then ultimately coming to the conclusion, like, yeah, I should probably just take this. No, it was why is it the best idea? 'cause it is. Like LeBron was really evaluating this case by case. And it feels like in every independent observation in the sample. If he was taking the shot, it's because it was the best idea for him to take the shot. Like, I want to look this up right now because one thing that's very interesting to look at about LeBron in his later years, at least. I'm not sure about the earlier ones. But it's how he is usage rate goes up in the playoffs and he gets to that 38% range, right? The I am the sun sort of level up. And I don't know, and I can say I'm going to look at this now whether it was like that early. Like obviously you got the game in O 7, where it was made very clear that LeBron has to do everything in this game and this is what I'm going to do cool. Yeah. We had one of those in O 9 where it was the same thing. Where he was just like, but he keeps he keeps it like low 30s usage rate during the regular season. Right. Which makes perfect sense, right? But yeah, it was around, I'm looking at this right now. Yeah, it was when he got back to Cleveland. Oh, yeah. Didn't play off usage rates. Got a little bit chunkier. But even then, they largely stayed kind of low key. Right, right? He got these points, not by being the guy that's like, what I do is get bucked. Well, it was very much what we do is get buckets. Right. Well, you know, I heard Brian winters say this on ESPN daily. And it was really interesting theory in that because of bronze upbringing. It instability, he didn't have a lot of family, didn't have a lot of friends. So we played basketball, his teammates became his friends, and his family, and he's like one way that you could keep people happy is bypassing and making everybody feel like we're invested in part of this. And I remember his high school teams, for instance, were like very close. All his friends from those teams that still really tight. I even follow one of them. I was trying to remember his name. It was Romeo Travis. If Romeo fits you, living on it.

"I want to get started talking about LeBron though before we get too far into this. I hate that there's any discussion and I think I'm going to talk about this also on the TV show, but I really hate that there's any discussion around him being the greatest of all time at this moment because we don't have to do that right now. This is a singular point. Stand-alone, amazing feat that he has pulled off. Because part of Kareem having the scoring record was that he's also the first player to play 20 years in the NBA. Right. Like it was bananas idea that he could still be out there at 40 years old in his 20th year in the league, scoring ten points a game, which is really all he was giving you at the end was like ten points again. When he put up 38,000 whatever the number he is, that's where he was. LeBron is 38. Yeah, man. With all those miles and score 30 points a game. Right. Yeah. That's insane. It's not an expectation. Maybe let me see if I say this right. There's not an expectation that he's faced that he's not exceeded. Right? Nobody thought that he could play nobody thought that he could play at this point this well, this late in his career. Nobody thought that he would be that we would even be having this conversation about goat Ness or whatever. The only thing that maybe you could say that he left on the table is championships. But I don't think anybody my memory of LeBron when he came to the league is that this guy has a chance to be one of the best we've ever seen, but nobody was talking about 6 championships or anything like that at the time. Like that just wasn't part of the equation because we didn't have there was never even a sense that there was going to be any competition between those two in that way. But yeah, so I think we baby stepped it, right? Like there was real discussion about him being possibly the best talent we've ever seen or prospect that we've ever seen. I don't remember there being anybody's unequivocal essay bob knight was at the 84 Olympics and talking about Michael Jordan and saying, and that's why he's the best player I've ever seen. Yeah. But the difference was, Michael Jordan was 21. LeBron was 18. Like, we understood we could only give it so far over our skis. Right. With the 18 year old at that point, but you're right.

But later that year, the man who would surpass jabar was born in Akron, Ohio, LeBron James went from prep school to the prose at 19. James would play 11 years in Cleveland with a four year break in Miami where he impressed coach Eric spoelstra with his work in games and practice. He doesn't get bored with that process. You know, you can tell he's like a computer. Laker coach darvin Hamm says James still works hard at being a complete player to date. He's just a kid. It was grown before our eyes and the last 20 years at this level has done nothing but play the right way and make the play that's in front of them. NBA commissioner Adam silver says James breaking the record is impressive because of his style of play. I think it makes it that much more special that he'd rather be known for his assists than his baskets. James is achievements include four NBA championships and two Olympic gold medals. I Norman hall

James closes in on NBA record, Lakers falls to Pelicans
"LeBron James moved closer to the NBA all time scoring record, but the pelicans entered a ten game losing streak by defeating the Lakers one 31 one 26. James had 27 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, putting in 36 away from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar scoring mark. This one win. Play the game the right way. See what happens. His finger roll gave LA at 12 point lead in the third quarter. Brandon Ingram poured in 35 points and CJ McCollum added 23, including a late three. Anthony Davis had 34 points and 14 rebounds for the Lakers. I'm Dave ferry.

"kareem" Discussed on ESPN Daily
"So Brian, this is the part of the show where we, yeah, formally introduce, I suppose. The other literally and figuratively huge character in this whole story, who is Korean Abdul jabbar. And look, the NBA, as we all know, likes to drape itself in history, especially these days, right? They rename awards after individual players, the all time greats from past generations, so the Finals MVP trophy is the Bill Russell trophy. The award for social justice work is named after Korean duel jabbar. And the temperature between LeBron and Kareem right now. What word would you use to characterize it? Maybe frosty, complicated, although hopefully this experience with one passing the other will open the door for that. Kareem, I think if you study his history, he's occasionally gotten across roads with teammates and other people. In his life, for various reasons. And he and LeBron, which they didn't have much of a relationship before, but certainly since he's been a Laker, they haven't always seen eye to eye, Karim has criticized some of LeBron's choices. LeBron has turned his back on being asked to talk about Kareem at times, but just because it's been that way in the past doesn't mean it'll be that way into the future. And so this is really a record to celebrate basketball, but when it comes to two incredibly huge figures in the history of the sport. In fact, arguably the two greatest high school players of all time and they had similar type careers where Kareem made a very high profile change of teams, midway through his career. You know, there are some similarities, but they don't operate really have an operator really on the same wavelength. Yeah. I mean, look, Brian, this is the this is sort of like the frostiness, sort of the Cold War as it were between LeBron and cream and Kareem, by the way, has been to my mind. LeBron's most impactful critic. Kareem, he's also a columnist now, right? And he's doing the job that we kind of do. He has a sub stack, which is admittedly surreal. And he has said, and I want to quote this here to get it right. He said, quote, on occasion, I have chided LeBron when I thought he was dropping the ball when it came to supporting the community. But I did so in the spirit of a loving older brother offering guidance, whether wanted or not. And quote, and this is guidance, by the way, that included, but is not limited to certainly. To chiding LeBron over his early public stance on COVID and the vaccine, which LeBron then, to your point, deliberately decided to not engage with. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had an essay this week that I'm sure you saw that was critical of your Instagram post, the meme of Spider-Man meme about COVID. I wondered if you had a response to what Kareem had said or if you wanted to clarify what you were trying to say with that post. No, I don't have a response to Kareem at all. And more recently, when LeBron got asked about his relationship with Kareem, just directly, he was even more tersely straightforward about how there is no relationship. What are you having a chance to get the all time scoring like this year? Do you have any thoughts on Kareem and also if you have a relationship? No. No thoughts. I know that shit. And so that set the stage for this week because on a TNT broadcast, CNN's Don lemon read a statement from Kareem now about the whole thing and the record chase and he did admittedly seem a bit warmer. He says, I've been carrying the torch as record holder for 38 years. I'm excited and relieved to pass it along to the next worthy recipient. LeBron earned it and I hope he carries it even longer than I did Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. It's O'Brien. There are memes in here. There's obviously tension back and forth. What do you make of this dynamic? It's complicated. You know, LeBron's whole sort of spot in Laker history is complicated. Last year in Cleveland at the All-Star Game, they honored the top 75 players of all time. And the Lakers are extremely represented on that list, particularly with different eras of players. And when they got together for this iconic photo shoot before the game itself on all star Sunday. The Lakers who were a part of the top 75 were there and they decided they got a picture of the Lakers. Now, unfortunately, not all of the Lakers could be their Kobe, unfortunately. Obviously, we'd been a front and center. He has passed away Elgin Baylor. Recently passed away, was on the list. But at this photo is incredible because you've got Jerry West and Kareem and magic and Shaq and James worthy and bob mcadoo. And then LeBron. And you know, LeBron is now played for the Lakers for 5 years. That is longer than his stint with the heat was. It is longer than his second stint with the Cavs was. He played 7 years with the Cavs the first time around, I think there's a decent chance he's going to play 7 years with the Lakers or maybe even 8, I don't know, maybe he's got three years left. He could end up having the longest tenure of his career as a Laker. But yet he doesn't fit in the sort of Laker lore. You know, some of these people that I have talked about have statues outside the arena. Yes. And so what you're establishing here is that there is a certain tension around that photo of those all time top 75 Lakers greats, and that is both among fans who think that LeBron has not earned true Laker status that there is some stolen valor here, but it's also felt among some of the people actually in that room in that photo itself. LeBron has hung a banner in crypto dot com. There is a star on the court. It is representative of one of the 17 championships, just like there's a star on the court that Jerry West won. He is by all rights, a true Laker great, but it doesn't always feel that way. We have an all time Laker great and Korean Abdul jabbar. Being passed by another Laker. So how is it going to be celebrated with him passing a guy who has a statue? You know? Yeah. It's going to be fascinating. That does feel like a bit of an understatement because I'm trying to imagine now. The moment, right? Like all of this is about these clips that will play unto eternity. These highlights that LeBron is still accumulating. And this one, what do you imagine, it's most sort of potent version might look like? Well, it's kind of gotten out there a little bit. LeBron has been caught practicing a skyhook. And now I love this so much. Has made a few skyhooks in his career. It's never been a central part of his repertoire. No. He is very clearly trying to do something symbolic. Now, the Lakers are in a playoff fight. They can't afford. Now if we're in the end of a fourth quarter of the game and like LeBron's right at the squaring record and they need two points to try to win a game. Oh, I want this bad. No, I want a bad Brian. I'm not scared. Time for homage. But I do think LeBron is trying to plan some sort of homage to Kareem. Yes, who mastered

"So we were playing audio clips of the not sold notorious KGB known as Kareem Jean Pierre. And this is a very important story that I don't want to move past because it continues to grow. I have to tell you, where do I think this is gonna go? I'm being Frank with you, all right? Not as if I'm not normally, but I just wanna be clear here. I don't think Biden's house is gonna be rated. Should it be rated? Sure. I think he should get the same treatment that the DoJ, the FBI, gave Trump. But it's not gonna happen. And we know that it's not gonna happen because Margot Cleveland wrote about this in the federalists and and she made a very clear distinction. She made a very clear distinction. There are a lot of similarities except that obviously Trump was president. Biden is vice president. That makes it unlawful for Biden to have this top secret information. All right? Top secret. Now, here's what the left is trying to do. This is how they're trying to spin it. This is how they're trying to dull the blow if you will. What they've been saying is well, the Biden administration or Biden as soon as they found out. Now keep in mind, he's had to have moved these documents a couple of times once when he moved out of The White House and then moved them again when he got this facility at the at the UPenn Biden center. So he's moved those documents twice. They've been moved twice.

Female soccer fans say they fell safe at World Cup in Qatar
"There have been no dress code issues at the first World Cup held in an Arab country, Argentina fan Kareem nieves, says she feels safe in every aspect. It's completely different than being a woman in daily Vegas in Qatar. Women's rights are limited there. English soccer fans Sarah Moore says she heard negative press reports about Qatar before arriving there. But everyone is so welcoming I've been fine walking about on my own. Fatima Al Nouri is one of the leaders of the events in Qatar. This is actually one of the legacies of this World Cup would leave of changing the perception of people having this part of the world.

Elon Musk Vs The Establishment
"Owner, the new owner of Twitter, I did tell you, by the way, that he would wind up owning that company. Did I not the new owner of Twitter is saying the apple is pulling some kind of dicey moves. He said that they are threatening to take Twitter off the App Store and you couple that together with what we saw out of The White House spokesperson this week. And it might make it a little bit nervous because she reiterated a couple of times that they are looking at Twitter because Kareem Jean Pierre said that we'd be watching them very closely in light of the fears about misinformation false information and Elon Musk has been pretty upfront about this. I mean, he was like, you got to be kidding me. Why is the media totally against the idea of free speech? Why do they have to control the narrative? They seem to be very threatened by the likes of somebody like him. And now desantis, whose vying for his spot in 2024 is getting into the picture because now saying that if this in fact is the case, it is something that should merit quote a response from the U.S. Congress. We don't know entirely what Apple is saying about this, but it's concerning enough, only because, again, we saw it happen with other apps like parler. And I think it has happened with gab and some of these, I mean, I don't even know if they were ever even allowed on the platform on the App Store. And that's of some concern, understandably, because, hey, that App Store is kind of important, right? I mean, if you ask me, this is really an antitrust issue, because why is there only really two big app stores, right? One for Android phones, one for Apple phones, out there, and if you're not on these actual platforms as a company, then you don't entirely exist. And that's limiting our free market enterprise that we are.

Karine Jean-Pierre Struggles to Address Hunter Biden Scandal
"It sound bites and snapshot So Korean Jung Pierre who is easily the worst press secretary I've ever seen in this position just entirely in over her head was asked about an obviously exploding scandal This ongoing scandal of the president of the United States selling access via his son to enemies in the United States and foreign governments as the big guy And Kareem John Pierre you'll see here instead of having a polished ready to go talking point she had it but she struggled to find it I want you to listen It's a short clip but I want you to find what the talking point was And see if you can pick it out I'm sure you can You're good at this Check this out Can you address whether the president was involved in any of his son hunter or his brothers foreign business deals So there's some a little bit of interesting kind of on brand thinking here because congressional Republicans ran saying that they were going to fight inflation They said they were going to make that a priority They were very clear about that These past several months And instead what they're doing is they're focusing they're focusing they're making their type priority They get the majority and their type priority is actually not focusing on the American families but focusing on the president's family
The Dan Patrick Show
"kareem" Discussed on The Dan Patrick Show
"Are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports radio. Final hour in this Wednesday, we'll talk to our good buddy, Marcellus Wiley, former NFL, defensive end, pro bowler. Now is a podcast at Dan Patrick dot com. Phone calls will get to those as well. We hear from Magic Johnson. He talked about LeBron James eventually passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the all time points list. Kareem finished with 38,387 points. I think he's held the scoring title since 1984. Maybe? Sounds like that, 1984. LeBron has 37,144 points. So he trails Kareem by 1243 points. If LeBron averages 27.1 points per game and then averages his career averages 27.1, if he averages 27.3, then it'll take him 46 games to break the record. If LeBron plays in each of the next 45 games and averages 27, he would be 28 point shy of the record, heading into a Wednesday at home against the spurs, the Lakers final home game before a 5 game road trip. Wow. We've mapped this out. You know what? January 25th home game against the spurs. Who's with me? Let's go. Magic Johnson was on Shannon Sharpe's podcast. The podcast and Shannon asked magic about LeBron passing Kareem on the all time scoring list. Nobody cares about number two is number one. How do you think he will handle that? Well, I don't think, well. I mean, let's just be honest. If I got to say, we got to be honest. Right. I think it'll be a hard pill to swallow. He eventually has had that record for almost 40 years, and I think he thought he was going to have it forever. Such magic with Shannon Sharpe. And I was surprised that it was going to affect Kareem this much. But then I started to wonder, if you think about a singular figure who missed out on the modern times in their sport. Now, I would mention Elgin Baylor, but Kareem missed out on the golden age. When the TV era, it happened, it started with magic and Larry when they were in college and then certainly continued and then Michael came in. But Kareem, by the time he was in the golden age of TV, it was Magic Johnson's LA Lakers. They were showtime Lakers. It was different, and people don't remember how dominating Kareem was when he played for the bucks. Plus, he had a shot that nobody else had, I think he's the greatest basketball player of all time. If I bring in college, high school and the NBA, there's nobody better. I know Bill Russell's more decorated, but Kareem's a better player than Bill Russell. Bill Russell is the all time winner. I mean, look at what he did at UCLA. He couldn't play for the when he was a freshman. Or he would have won four national titles. But what did he lose two games? One because he had a detached retina or he had a scratched retina when he lost to elvin Hayes in the astrodome. And the other one I think was when they lost to USC 44 42 when Paul westfall was there, didn't they have a slowdown? You could slow the ball down and they beat Kareem when he was at UCLA. When he was at power memorial, high school, I think they lost one or two games.

The Breakdown with Shaun King
"kareem" Discussed on The Breakdown with Shaun King
"There is a real argument for saying that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has earned the right. To say and do whatever he wants to say and do. You're like, I get that. I understand it and I don't disagree with it. Of course, the man can say and do whatever he wants to say and do. He has earned that right. Beyond the fact that he's just a grown independent man and a legend, you know, he did make sacrifices and took stances when they were important to take, and I honor him for that. With no ifs ands or buts, period. I honor him for that. And it's how he wants to use the rest of his days. Is riding harsh critiques of professional athletes, particularly black young black athletes, many of them that he has to kind of come back and apologize for like his ridiculously harsh criticism of LeBron James. And he had to come back and kind of fix it and apologize and say he didn't really mean what he was what it sounded like he meant. I saw LeBron in an interview earlier this week where they asked him if he had any relationship with Kareem or any thoughts about Kareem LeBron just kind of cold he said no and no. And that's unfortunate. Because instead of having relationships with these young brothers, instead of saying, how can I get on the phone? How can I FaceTime LeBron who plays for the team that Kareem played for most of his career? You know, instead of saying, let me talk to this young brother and see if I'm understanding him correctly. Because truthfully, I might rank LeBron and Kyrie one and two as the two NBA players who have done the most with their money and time for social justice. And no, I'm not even talking about Kyrie's stance on COVID. I might be talking about that. I'm talking about actual civil rights work and support that Kyrie has given in civil rights work in support and education stuff that LeBron has done, I'd be hard pressed to find two athletes that have done more than those two men. And so it's wild. That those two end up getting these super harsh criticisms and just, I think it was early last week, Kyrie posted in his stories. I'm not convinced that he even knew who the man was. Posted in his stories of wild clip, his Instagram stories, a wild clip from Alex Jones, who is absolutely a horrible human being, the clip was saying something to the effect of how corporations benefit from mass hysteria and pandemics and how, you know, don't be surprised if they're releasing these things on the earth. And Kyrie shared and I have no idea if Kyrie was an old old clip like look like it was from the 90s of Alex Jones. And I love Alex Jones. And despise him as a person and what he does is despicable. I don't know if Kyrie had any idea who the man was or if you just identify with the clip, which is what I think. But Kareem's critique of Kyrie went way beyond that. And he even then said, listen, we should all call and write people that Kyrie does business with and tell them to stop doing business with Kyrie in a site. Hold on, man. Why are you doing that? Like, that's like, why has it gotten to that point for you? Because here's the thing. I'm vaccinated. I think I'm triple vaccinated and my kids are vaccinated. And we had no side effects and while we had COVID before we were vaccinated before there was ever a vaccine, we haven't had COVID in the past two years in our House, and we've gone out of our way to stay healthy. A lot of what Kyrie has said about the vaccination he's been right on. He's been proven correct. Like now, all sports have stopped requiring a mandate for the vaccination. And most places of business now no longer require the vaccination. And the things that Kyrie and others are calling for quietly just kind of happened, but when Kyrie and others were calling for them, they were thought of as not just weirdos like they were thought of as like this was this was a horrible monstrous thing they were calling for. And the truth is, in retrospect, it wasn't. And I say that as somebody that's super vaccinated. And have no problem with the vaccine. But Kyrie Irving had every right. To be skeptical of the vaccine itself, it just as a person. That's his right. As a super athlete as an elite athlete is saying like, listen, I'm not really confident about putting this in my body and don't want to do it. I don't trust the government. I don't trust these corporations. And so I'm not doing it. And he paid the ultimate price. He lost tens of millions of dollars as a result. So why now call on him to lose more sponsors and partnerships? Like it's just, it's unnecessary. And again, about to careen. I read his, I read his critiques. Out of respect for him. You know, like I respect him for who he was, and here's the thing. Both Kyrie and LeBron could fire back wild critiques on Kareem. But they're not doing that. And I'm not doing that. There are a thousand things somebody could say about Karim. But that would be weird. Because he's a legend. And so you'd leave him alone and just say, listen, if he's going to be grumpy and bitter, and even kind of go into some weird territory where he's trying to take millions of dollars away from star athletes, listen, if that's the angle he is going to take, he's just going to take it. So be it. But when I get to be his age, you know, I'm on my way to being an elder. And if God willing, I get to be an elder like Kareem. I hope that one of my primary actions is not just writing and speaking big, big public critiques of young leaders. Like, I don't want to be in that lane. I would much rather be in the lane of mentoring, advising, coaching, and being there versus these guys that we now know has no idea who they are. He's never spoken to them. Never had any connection to them. And they probably would have welcomed that. It is what it is. And sadly, you know, he then, when he says something harsh about LeBron or something harsh about Kyrie, white people didn't make it go mega viral because he is saying things that they know they can't say. And so it's like a feedback loop

How mismanaged the pandemic, the response to the pandemic was. How 47% of schools were in less than 6 months, our schools went from 46% to open to nearly all of them being open to full-time. That was the work of this president. The lies, the deceit, the lord will not honor this amount of treachery. So Korean Jean Pierre said 46% of all schools were closed. People might not remember because this is the strategy of the gaslighters and of the mockingbird media. But in August of 2020, I remember it 'cause I was there.

"Well i mean traveling. Asia is a track This is my second time. Traveling was part of the world not eight years ago. I sat with vietnam so first of all you know pandemic or not is roughly about twenty five hours of travels on and so prior to departure The japanese authorities required to cova tests. One ninety six hours prior to departure and the second seventy two hours prior to departure and the kicker is they do not accept a rapid test so it had to be a pr test and most places in cincinnati takes about two to three days to get the results back. So you really have to thread that needle to in terms of timing. Also you have to plan you have to plan for your flight was delayed so if your flight was delayed you have to give yourself a little bit of extra buffer time based on the last direct flight to tokyo so i traveled through atlanta. There was a lot of. Max there was a lot of and frankly you know i did the first two tests and then i got a little paranoid. A little anxious and i did a third test. I found a place that does stain day or twenty. Four hour turns on the pcr tests. It was a little bit pricey. But i i had to do it as a failsafe. I have also carry a lot of equipment with me So i took several days of packing. And i have to give credit to my wife or giving me some time to you. Know we have two little kids at home so she gave me some time to carve out like impact my things So that was. That was a lot of a lot of stress there to make sure. I got all my equipment and then secondly traveling through the documentation. I needed to get to tokyo. Not just the passport. Not just my boarding passes or anything like that. But i had to have the specific certificate of cogan testing forms filled out in a very particular precise away Make sure that dates forms or in the correct order. You know year month day Any kind of mishap on any of those forms and your whole trip can go haywire. really quick Not to mention all the other documents. I had to make a written pledge to make sure we're going to follow the rules And then finally when we get here well the first fourteen days we are not permitted to use rapid transit. We are not permitted to eat at restaurants We are only permitted to eat at venues or breed or we can go to the seven eleven and the seven eleven here is not quite like a seven eleven in the state. They have some food options. So i've been here since wednesday. And i can tell you i'm done with the seven eleven mile. Good only a couple more weeks there you go. So you're you're in. You're in the bubble correct you're in the quote unquote bobble. So just. i know. It's such a broad obvious question. But just what's what's that like. Have you first of all. Have you covered an olympic games before i have not. This is my first olympic current so your first experience so it's not like you have something to compare it to but just what's it like being in the tokyo bubble honestly the hassle. I mean Because we're not allowed to use fan rapid transit so they have provided obviously media buses But the media the media bus schedule and you know a city of twenty million people you know it takes for example for me to get to the hotel to the main press centre. Pick me an hour bus ride. And it's not really that far okay. And then so i go from here to the hotel or excuse me from from my hotel to a media transport mall which is essentially a transport hub. And when i get there. I can choose to take another bus to the media center. Let's take about fifteen minutes from the media transport mall or i can choose to take buses to venue and for example i have a four days of softball coverage coming up tomorrow and so today i was a little anxious about transport so i went on a field trip. I did some advanced scouting and for me to get to the from my hotel to the yokohama. Baseball stadium which is roughly about twenty twenty five miles south of tokyo. It's about two and a half hours. Wow so and then when. I got the stadium. You know i get off. I get off the bus and the stadiums to my right. But they're all directing directing me to my left. So i'm walking away from the stadium going through security and then i finally get into the bubble area after i go through security where you know. I see the photo workroom. I introduced myself to the Deputy venue managers speak to the deputy manager. It's going over the rules. And then finally. I make my way back toward the stadium. And i'm glad. I did that that scouting mission because if i had to go early tomorrow morning with no frame of reference no familiarity i would be a wreck though for me essentially. I left my hotel this morning. At eight o'clock. I got the eight fifteen bus. I didn't get back to the media. Press center until about two thirty. And i didn't take it. I didn't really cover any games or anything the media contingent for a quote unquote normal olympics. I i can't imagine what it is but you have people coming from from around the world are there are a lot of you are do you. Do you feel diminish media presence. Does it seem normal. What's what's that like. Like i said. I don't have a point of reference to reference to any previous olympic but it seems like the media contingent is in full force. And but i will say one thing. I noticed about tokyo and i didn't. I've never been to tokyo before. For city of twenty million people with all the industry in commerce and the big brands and toyota and panasonic. And you name it. The city's quiet. And i spoke to a colleague who's been to tokyo before mike. Is this normal or this. Cova pandemic related absolutely not. This is pandemic releases. Quite streets are quiet. Streets are kind of less traffic than normal from what he said. And you know kind of gives me an eerie feeling. I kinda drive through some empty streets in the morning. i'm like. This is a major major metropolitan city in the world and it just seems very quiet And you would think that would help with transportation but it is taking a lot of get the venues for sure The the news stories. That have emanated from tokyo. Would suggest that these games aren't wanted by the locals do you. Can you catch that vibe. In even insulated in the bubble. Can you catch the vibe that these games at least by people who live in that country would prefer they either be cancelled or even maybe even slid back even further on thing. I know if. I'm in the bubbles. I haven't really interacted with many local. The only locals. I've interacted with our the volunteers and the staff. I can tell you based on what. I know of japanese culture japanese culture. They're very extremely polite. So there you know. I'm not going to get anybody thing we we don't want you here I'd be shocked All the volunteers are extremely kind. Extremely polite very warm very kind. And i'm you know they're teaching me japanese. I know like three words so far. Those three were probably the same three words you know but but you know i am not getting that sent from the from the volunteers now again. I'm i'm kind of in a bubble. I haven't really you know. Walked around that much. But in even when i get off the bus and i do see some ordinary japanese folks walking around. I don't get any cockeyed looks. I don't get any you know stairs or any kind of rumblings. And they're very they're very polite people. So i'd be very surprised if i heard something like that or felt that at all you. Are you're covering softball and baseball correct. That's.
