"There's just magic and Larry fall out of the top 5, 6 at a certain point or not. I mean, not yet for magic. I think Larry is probably 6 now. Right. Larry's probably 6 now. Because Kareem is now luckily everyone's come around and understands that you got to put Karim at three. There's no not putting him at three. He has to be at three. The thing that sucks for Kareem is the four years in college, basically. You just have to factor that in. He's four fucking years in college. Right. Where's LeBron? LeBron comes right out of high school. He gets, now you could argue, well, he also had more miles on him from those four years, but just like the fact that cream and Duncan, their careers don't start until year 5 of the normal career. But Jordan kind of Jordan had three, right? Jordan had three college. You could argue he needed the three though. He got way better that third year. Yeah, obviously way better. Entirely different sort of. But like Kareem could have come into the NBA. Dominated in 1966 and been one of the 5 best guys. Of course. And I think you have to factor that in some way. So you would put, but it's hard to make the number for I definitely have him at three. For sure, at worst, he's a three. I'm at three as well. I think there's a real LeBron versus Kareem argument. You could have, but LeBron's gonna keep playing for 5 more years and blow that out of water. I think Levine flatlined. No, he's right in here on this combo. I mean, I'm just thinking. He's afraid to wait in. The guy's sitting in the pool is ankles in the water. Well, I'm not hearing anything so controversial that I need to get in there. I mean, so who are the top 5 in this conversation? Jordan LeBron, and then you're going Kareem. So I'm not going to start an argument over this. Jordan lebrun. And then, and then you said magic. Magic, that bird. Blanking. Oh, we forgot Russell. No, I have Russell three Kareem four. Sorry, I feel Russell. I know why you have him three, but he's not three. Kareem. He was 11 and one in the finals. And the only final he lost he had a badly sprained ankle. They shouldn't have been playing and still took the hawks to 6. He's three. Come on. I mean, do you do some kind of waiting for the older generation? Or do you just, it's just apples to apples? Like the game's the same. I did all this when I did my book. It's like, you can't compare the generations past a certain point. But you have to compare the impact when they played versus everyone else. They played against how crazy it was. Russell was everyone left. Some people get hurt by that, though, the generational thing like if Lloyd B free, if world be free played now, he would be a max contract guy now. You have rosello has the whole thing about if Eddie house was in the 1950s, he would have been the best forever. Which was one of the best facilities. Time machine any house is we're telling stories about this. Think about world be free when he was a kid, like all the people yelling at him not to shoot 30 footers instead, would have been like practice. So he would have been so much better at it and his natural inclination was that. And that guy would have been lighting it up. We know it would have been amazing for that as the busher. 'cause the bush was shooting 22 footers anyway, and he was in the corner a lot anyway, but now he just would have two steps back. He would have been like the most amazing stretch for her. I had a lot of, by the way, that team, Bradley was in the corner shooting, Jerry Lucas, all those guys. All those guys could shoot. I still feel like maravich probably of all those guys probably sometimes he's the all time born too soon guy, 'cause he was shooting 30 footers. There were two. But it's part of his game. You know, when you watch those, I sometimes just show people those highlights. As I know you do, the mayor of highlights, it's crazy. It's crazy. Did he get paid in his day? Because he would be a max contract guy now. He made money in his day though. He was always one of the highest paid guys to the point that it was hard for them to put a good team around him. But I didn't think I didn't pick him for NBA 75. Why? I love them off. Why? It wasn't a snub, it was just, you know, I had like 85 guys for 75 spots. He didn't make it. You put gervin in there. A gervin was incredible. Yeah, I think Irvin's one of the best two guards ever. It's like his teams didn't win. Where did you put your whole list? Your whole list up on the wringer? No, I'll send it to you though. Send it. All right, I'll send it to you guys. Thanks for being on the podcast. Super pumped. Showtime. Sunday Night, what time Sunday Night? 10 o'clock.

"You know? Are you in a game now or no? What do you mean? Do you have a regular poker game or you don't? I don't. I have a weird thing. I don't love gambling against my Friends. But some people love it. For me, it's like, I'm not a 100% in on it. I'm too competitive. I have a regular game, and I really still get something out of that game. There are guys. Yeah, like I still play whenever I can. I play once a week. I don't go once a week, but I go close to whenever I can and I still really love that. And those guys are mostly my Friends from poker, except one or two of them. I know separately. And I really like really care about these dudes and I really enjoy trying to take their money. That's fun. You still in Levine or no. No, I haven't played in years. I mean, I'd be such an easy mark now. I don't even know my way around. The 6 iterations of the game have passed me by now. That's the study up for rounders two. It's a little like golf. You can't just go away and then come back. I'll tell you guys this. And then you have to go. Yeah, no. No, I'm here with you. But no, I right before pandemic, like I was really winning in the game. And I thought, those guys kept playing at a certain point, and I just have gone back now three or four times, and I just got, I just got destroyed last Monday night and I came home. And I Sammy texted me from wherever he was, and he was like, how'd you two? And I go, I lost and I suck now. Like, I just have, I, in the year and a half, I got much fucking worse at poker. I made three moves. I can't blame the deck. I can't believe anything other than like, I literally was just like, here, big Russian Arthur, take my money. Just fucking take my money. I handed it across the table, like my whole stack twice. It's an anti bad beat story. It is, and I suck. I'm a moron. It's literally like I lost 30 IQ points. I was like, oh, nope. I guess two pairs better than a straight. I feel that way with driving, 'cause I really felt like I was one of the three best drivers, probably in America. I'm not counting like F one, but just if you needed to get the drivers. If you need to get to the movies in ten minutes and it was 18 minutes away, like I was your guy. If we needed to go, my daughter overslept and we had to get her a soccer game and it was an hour and a half away, but we had to be there. I'm your guy. Last like, I don't know. You're so. I don't have the same confidence on the highway anymore. If you lose a little bit of aggression, you're a disaster. I've lost the edge, a tiny bit, little days of thundering, you know, coming out of the hospital. Cold trickle. I think you need the cream and the clear, man. We gotta get you going with the I think Kareem. I feel like my eyesight, maybe I need to check the content. Maybe my eyes are just not there, you know? It happens. I ask you one basketball question about the 75. Yeah. Is it right that Chris Paul was that many places ahead of Allen Iverson? No. Wait, did they actually have real rankings? No, like ESPN did like these rankings. I don't know. I don't take those seriously because most of the people doing those don't actually, I agree. And this big ranking where they tried and I was like, that seems crazy to me. Like, they seem much closer together. Paul, I have Paul in the top 30 based on how he was able to redo it the last couple of years. I think I ever since drifted into the high 40s. 41 to 45 range. I would say. Chris Paul is somewhere around what, 30 no, I would say he's like in that I forget where I had him on the list, but like the 25 to 29 ranch. Iverson gets a lot of penalty points for and I was like his biggest defender. I wrote a giant thing about him, but if you're really gonna start to compare him against the top 50 guys, play out performance starts to matter. And other than the finals, he flames out every year. And then his career was just too short. You know, he didn't have those last few years when he was still good, but not great. He went from, I'm still good to I'm out of the league. So whereas Chris, it would be like if Chris just left the league in 2016, we wouldn't be saying he's the top 30 guys. The extra stuff from the last couple of years, really made that. Yeah, I mean, to me, I guess. And hearing JJ talk about Chris, I've never, you know, he talks about him like, so highly is like, you know, if you don't play basketball you can't really understand. So I know that Chris Paul's top 30, but in my head, Iverson's top 32, but I guess not. I guess he's not anymore. All right. I think in the Twitter YouTube era, guys like Iverson do really well as the distance passes and people start to forget the facts and stuff. And so in one way, it's better for him. In another way, it's worse because I always thought the best case for him was the impact of seeing him in person, which I know both of you guys saw. He was just one of the most incredible in person basketball experiences, and that's why I rated him so high. But as the years pass, you can really start picking apart his stats and the playoff performance stuff like that. But I still feel like him even winning a game over the 2001 Lakers, which is probably one of the best four teams ever. Single handley just beat him for a game. I remember this thing he did. It was incredible. But then he got, and then he got stomped, you know? Yeah. But I mean, Jesus, that was the only time that team lost. So anyway, I think we all, we're all lined out Iverson. Revere the guy he was amazing, but I think there's just a lot of good guys though. And guys are moving in there like jokic is climbing up. You know? This is already there. And of course we could have embiid coming this year. Who knows? And there's just magic and Larry fall out of the top 5, 6 at a certain point or not. I mean, not yet.

"Of the corners, Tyson Campbell, whoever. Yeah, if I had to guess who they're targeting tonight, I think it's probably Tyson Campbell. He just fits a lot of what they do in terms of em. Like, in terms of Developmental prospects at cornerback on day to that second round Corner, that Tyson Campbell. Is it to a tea or raw athletic developmental Pressman Corner Prospect? Exactly, sure. How they want to go. If I had to pick them up, I was picking for the Patriots, it would come down to the one of the wide receivers at the top that is still right there. Elijah more rondale, Moore Amara Raja. Give me one of those three guys because if you go watch Alabama's offense, I would say, 20% of Mac, Jones is production was off of quick-hitting Route, motion routes things out of the backfield. Bring Jaylen waddle or Devonta Smith in motion and throw it to him in the flat. You know, these types of scheme plays that we see take over College in, the NFL, Bama did a ton. They they love the birth. A motion. They love orbit. They love jet. They love all of it down there at Alabama and they need a guy in my opinion that can do those types of things. They don't have that guy. I don't think on the roster right now. I think in order to get Mac Jones where they want him to go, they need to give him those. Okay, it's First. And Ten from the 25, we're going to swing Amari Rodgers out on the motion from Tulsa to him in the flat and get seven yards off. Hopefully he breaks it up the field and that's a drive starter right, that's what they need. I think, from that wide receiver room because Aguilar can get over the top born in Meijer. They're kind of those, you know, the good slot receivers with some shifts at the top of the route. They need somebody that can really create with the ball in their hands especially after taking Mac Jones. So I'm going with one of the mores or Amari Rodgers I have Elijah more rated ahead of everybody. That's still wage board but I love a Mary Rogers as well. Alex, I know you wanted to do a few minutes on yesterday. One more player I want to add though because I didn't, I don't know why still on board, like I knew he wasn't on the board but I also am. He wasn't taken. But I also forgot we talked about, you can't rule the Patriots out for maybe a pass-rusher. Yeah, zizo jalari. I love to be on the board of 46,000 reset going to be on the board of 46, but if he is Georgia guy, excellent pass-rusher can set the edge. That's, that's the guy I think maybe more than married. That's the guy. I really, I don't, we don't need spent some time. It won't be there. I think, I think it's easier to Larry fell because he doesn't have that quick-twitch explosiveness that you want in a first-round Edge guy, write the Books of Joe Tyrone at 32, Joe time around is shot out of a cannon. When the ball is snapped, right? You can see that that first step explosiveness as easy as more of a traditional Patriot type of player, and the fact that he's a little bit more, I'm in my position, really sound? I'm going to be in my Gap, I'm going to be in my Rush Lane, but I'm not necessarily going to come off the ball, like a whole lot of Reckless. Abandon, and I think when you're dropping a guy in the first round, you want that upside down. I know you wanted to do a couple of minutes on the rest of the League last night..

"Finally It became too much. For them to be there. But they wanted to be together. They have been together for 50 years. They didn't want to be separated, but they're running out of money. They have fewer options, and they both now have medical issues. So we went through all the possibilities. We talked about all the possibilities. We made sure that they understood all the possibilities. We tried to see if if we can get the facility to offer more care without an increase in price, and they did some of that. And we tried to keep the number of hours of the caregiver, you know, within reason. And finally it became clear that physically They really were not able to take care of themselves anymore. And physically. Larry really needed to be in a nursing home. Saw the precipitating event was one day Larry fell and went to the hospital. And we knew that Larry could not go home again. He was too ill. So because I've been doing this for a long time, and I I knew most of the nursing homes around. Was able to find a nursing home. Member. What's my goal? My old is to keep them together. And keep them as independent as possible. My goal is to keep them together. Keep them is independent impossible within the reality of what they could afford. And within the reality of what their health conditions were not making stuff up. Not hoping not pretending, but dealing with because I now love these people. And we got him.
