"And you've got, like you said, it's not a small deal that your coach is reported to want to resign or considering resigning, he never also, by the way, answered directly whether he had considered that. From his answer, it actually sounded like he had considered it. And just was like, we all at the end of every season we all think about whether we want to come back. It's like this isn't the end of the season, man. So Nate McMillan has often had really good starts to his ten years with teams and then just kind of fizzled out and that kind of looks like this might be what that is. So we'll see. I'm interested to see what happens, but it's not looking great right now. The best you think you can hope for right now is that Trae Young just plays better offensively and then maybe some of the stuff becomes a little bit less valid. And then real quick the wolves. Is there anything for them to do? I don't know that they can move off Gobert. They're in a weird spot. It just is, you definitely can't move up him this quickly because you would never get unless you're just happy with like ten seeds on the dollar, yeah. I'll use the quick analogy. You know, I love my now fiance as we talked about earlier. And when you're going ring shopping and you know, maybe you get cold feet for a moment or maybe you just are like, it's not even copy. It's like, is she gonna say yes, which, you know, frankly, if you have a really deep question in your mind about that, you shouldn't probably be buying one. But I'm more interested in like, what's the return policy here? If I decide I want to push this back, if she says no, whatever. And they're like, buddy, you're not kidding. Look, unless there's something wrong, you're not gonna get your money back for what you're paying for this. It just doesn't work like that in the industry. So then your resell value is extremely low because a car stones depreciate after you buy them. That's what Rudy Gobert is right now. Nobody's paying for him what you just paid. Maybe you can find a straight team or two out there that really needs his skill set. Again, I would probably have to look to see which team that even is. The funny thing is that it probably would be Utah. In terms of needing a rip protect sector because they don't have one. But you're not getting anything near anywhere near what you paid for them back. So I think because of everything you just laid out, it would probably be a smarter question of like, what could we get for towns to ask that question? I don't think that they're going to do that. I think it would be too big of a concession that they effed up this deal to begin with to even make that deal. And everything they mortgaged on that deal. But I'm not sure where Gobert could go would go, I think it would be more of a question of like, where would tals go? Because the entire league would be interested in that deal if they had the assets to do it. So but I don't know what there is for them to do. I think they're only real responses like wait for towns to get back.

"You could make the argument that Toronto would, but like Toronto's not trading their best guy for him or their best guys for him. Toronto's got link. So maybe play around him, but I also think they kind of thrive on being a little bit of a democracy with that team too. And I also think that they've got a young player that they like having the ball in his hands a lot and Scotty Barnes. You know, the team that came to mind that I started thinking about, I don't think that they would do it, but Dallas would be interesting just because I feel like it would be like a new look Houston with harden and Paul. If you had, I don't think I would do it. Again, I don't think they would do it either. He's coming in saying the rockets with the rockets trade for Trae Young. Well, I mean, they do have a team that I don't think there's anybody on the team that's like so clearly a superstar going to be that maybe you take the gamble. You take the chance. It seemed that already doesn't play much defense. I mean, but that doesn't mean you want to be that way forever. They also made the really hilarious comment on inside the NBA yesterday of like, you know, like what is Houston doing or why are they playing like this? And I think Charles just said women Yama. Which is essentially why. They kind of do look like they're trying to do that. Should we throw out the wizards too? I don't think the wizards, I think the wizards would rather tank. You got to figure out what you're doing with Bradley Beal first, I think. Also, I think shout out to a name that we have not mentioned in a while unless maybe you've done it on one of the pods I was not. Is porzingis has been really really fun. Completely. He's been really good. Good defending the rim too when teams have tried to Shelby also threw out Orlando enough. No, the magic or not. We're not touching the ground. We're not touching the Orlando Magic, okay? Our beautiful, perfect Orlando Magic. We're not touching them now. They've been really even yesterday I was watching them in that game against Memphis and it's just like they've got, I would say three guys right now that it's like and maybe more than that that you look at them and you're like, yo, this team, if they just don't F this up over the next two, three years with Franz Wagner and obviously Bon Carroll, Bon Caro had a 20 point quarter yesterday and just dunking all over the place on a pretty good defense.

"I mean, even at his best, he's really, really flawed. So when he's not at his best, the question then becomes when does he thought out of this also the guy's name has a nickname as ice tray. So it's weird to talk about thong. But anyway, how long can you kind of put up with him not playing well? I think maybe even a better question is how much can you put up with him not doing the little things that would help get you over the top. And let's be honest here. And it's a different conversation I get that because of age because of playing style, all sorts of stuff. Trae Young. Doesn't do a lot of the things that Russell Westbrook doesn't do. As far as like things that would help your offense as far as screening as far as moving off the ball and moving off the ball as opposed to just playing off the ball. And it's the biggest difference that when people when Trae Young came into the league and people including hawks people, high level hawks people that I talked to make the comparison and they're like, oh man, we love that we got Trae Young because he fills up our arena before games because people just have to see him warm up. The same way that people do with Steph? Okay, sure, they both have range from 40. Stuff is more accurate, but they both have range from 40, the difference is that Steph makes use of that by moving around constantly and perpetual motion. Whereas Trey often stands still if he doesn't have the ball. So that's kind of the problem is that not only does he not defend a soul, most of the time. And I understand his frame and I understand that he's small, but he's also not always or not often giving much effort, which is a problem. When you're already that small and so that's problem number one, problem number two is that he's not really beating you if he doesn't have the ball. He's also not always beating you when he does have the ball because he's shooting like Aston season compared to past ones. So it's kind of like Joker Joker Joker so far. This season. And that's a rough combination when you have another all star caliber point guard that he's playing next to. So it's difficult where you could make a lot of arguments. You can grin and bear it and just hope that it gets better. You can hope that he's just not seeing eye to eye with his coach and that he plays better or plays harder. Which, quite frankly, let's keep in mind with all this talk with Nate McMillan, they took off when they brought in Nick macmillan as when they lifted him to the interim job after Lloyd pierce was like, oh, in the middle of a season. So maybe you do get a boost from that. And maybe it's a big boost all at once, where it was last year, or the last time where they made it to the Conference Finals.

"trae" Discussed on ESPN Daily
"We just ran through some of the superlatives, some of the lines on his CV that would make Trae Young. In theory, the number one overall pick in the NBA draft, but obviously we know now that is not exactly how things panned out. So before the draft, what were the sort of lingering questions doubts concerns about him as a prospect and as a future NBA player? The criticisms were clear. Trey wasn't a winner or so his critics said, in my research, I dug up an article that was headlined, the Trae Young experience has become too much for some to take. When the Oklahoma sooners are selected for the NCAA tournament, there are outcries that they've only made it because Trey is good for television ratings. Yeah. And of course, they all but confirm the opinion of their critics when they're bounced in the first round of that tournament. Yeah, there was this whole notion that these were empty stats. This was a guy who was overhyped. So all of these questions, all of these critiques, some fair, some unfair. It brings us to draft night. And for those who are not familiar with imaginations of what went down. At the very top of the draft O tune, how would you describe that? Hawks CEO, Steve koonin told me that the hawks had their eye on Trey all along. So on draft night, a bit of prearranged theater goes down. Where the Atlanta Hawks draft Luka Dončić. Third, with the third pick in the 2018 NBA draft, the Atlanta Hawks select Luca, Dončić. From Ljubljana. And then the Dallas Mavericks. Draft Trae Young 5th. With the 5th pick in the 2018 NBA draft, the Dallas Mavericks select Trae Young from the university of Oklahoma. Each team knowing, in fact that they've taken the franchise point guard at the other one covets. The Mavericks sent Trae Young and a first round pick to Atlanta in exchange for Luka Dončić. We have an early trade to announce. The Atlanta Hawks trade the draft rights to Luca Dončić, the third pick to the Dallas Mavericks for the draft rights to Trae Young, the 5th pick and a future first round pick. And for the hawks, this seemed to be either an incredibly savvy move or potentially a fatal franchise error. Any time something that dramatic happens on draft night. And gets magnified by the fact that both players go on in their young careers to really major success. Those two players naturally become linked in our heads. That's the way it is with Luca and Trey, who are pretty good friends that communicate often, but they are set up as point guards who should be leading their teams to finals against each other for years to come. And in terms of that inheritance, to tune, there's also the flip side of it, which is that Trae Young is now tied to a guy whose rookie season was one of the greatest teenage seasons, maybe the greatest teenage season we'd ever seen in NBA history. How did Trey sort of process that part of the story? Well, I think Trey is congenitally incapable of thinking of himself as anything other than the protagonist. Trae Young has no inferiority complex. Yeah, it is fascinating and funny do too and how the main goal for lots of people is to avoid being the main character and to avoid the slings and the arrows, like on the Internet, even at Trae Young, seems to squarely want to live in that zone. Yeah, absolutely. He said something to me that I found really unusual. My general understanding of the secret of the psychology of elite athletes is that they're capable of really squeezing the aperture of their attention. Capable of enormous amounts of ignorance actually. About the context of a situation and what it means and what's going on, they're able to be like, for lack of a better putting it like dumb in a transcendent way. Well done too and you're almost describing what it means to be present in some sense. There's like a weird zen that you're affixing to this phenomenon. Yes, that's a much more positive and less neurotic way of putting it. No, but I feel you, though, I feel what you're saying. But Trey is not like that at all. He kind of opens himself up to the noise and the hype and to what people are saying and to what a moment feels like. And to the context of that moment and the stakes of it, he described being in a flow or playing well as having his head spinning. And he describes the people in the arena as a world. And he hears everything and he can feel what other people are feeling and it's a really strange way of being an athlete. I don't think I've ever heard anything like that before. Speaking to tray. The attention is something that he almost needs when you then trace the trajectory of Trae Young from his rookie season to what he did at the garden where we started this conversation. I mean, did all of that make sense to you? The garden moment is an echo. Now Trey. Dribbling in the middle. Let's go with a long three. And he nails it. Trey young right Spike Lee's face. It's an echo in so many ways about his personality and how he plays basketball. It's an echo of the bowing in high school. It's an echo of the audaciousness of his style, it feels almost inevitable that trade would produce a moment like that. Because that's what he's aiming for on a basketball court. And I don't just mean that in the generic way that athletes are aiming for statement moments. Yes. But in fact, the theater of that moment is essential to trays understanding of basketball. I think Trey has learned that awe is a weapon for an elite athlete. And he is honed his own way. Of creating that all. Yeah, what is he like off the court, do too? And it occurs to me that I have a very full picture of him now on stage, but in the locker room, for instance, is he the same guy? Okay, so there are two parts to being off the court as you say. And I think they're in dialog with each other. One part is the person tray is He is soft spoken to the point of appearing bashful in person actually. Yeah. And then I think in the locker room. So this is off the court, but still within basketball. He doesn't talk much. His high school and college coaches told me that they didn't need trade to be a leader and verbal leadership wasn't required because Trey was the best player. And he led by being remarkable on the court. And that that was enough. What he's learning now is that in the NBA, that's not enough. In what areas are you trying to grow as a leader? I think I can always get better at leading vocally. I've always been a great I mean, I feel great leader by example. But vocally is something I've always had to continue to get better at. I want to.

"So do tune when you gotta sign this cover story on Trae Young, the start point guard for the Atlanta Hawks. What would you say that NBA fans that you yourself already knew about him? Like if you're building a word cloud of the stuff that Trae Young would be described with. What words are in that sort of image? Well, there he is. Unruly head of hair, highly technical and skilled. Has an infuriating knack for drawing files because he comes in the wake of Steph Curry. He has an audacious range, anything past half court is up for grabs for him in terms of shooting. And on top of that, there is an abrasiveness to him kind of not in a negative way a sort of a schoolboys arrogance if that makes sense. He smiling at you and winking at you and embarrassing you. What does it actually feel like? When a gym or an arena is extremely loud and against you, it's a crazy feeling, being in the gym where everybody is against you and then you know everybody outside the gym is against you and then to be at the top and be winning at the end of the day, that's the best feeling. That's what you live for as a player. That's a person that's extremely easy to root for him if he's on your side. And it's extremely easy to hate him if you have to play. And I'll put this word in the word cloud too. Trae Young the villain. Becomes something that I want to dive further into because yes, I believe he is sort of like the wario of Steph Curry. He's kind of like Steph's evil twin in that way. But I want to get to where he came from. What brought this guy to basketball to tune in the first place? Well, he comes from a basketball obsessed family. His great grandfather, Eugene young moved to pampa Texas when using young was himself a boy, I found Eugene young's obituary actually. In which he's described as a sports enthusiastic, but basketball was his favorite to watch. And he passed that down to his son, ray for senior, who was Trey's grandfather, and obviously that was passed on to trace father, rayford, known as ray, Trey is actually rayford young the third, AKA Trey. And so he comes from a family of ball players, that's what means a lot. This is ran our blood and a lot of my family members have played it. I think our family is very competitive and I know basketball is a big reason and a big part of that. And each generation kind of steps beyond the next one. Ray's father goes to college and plays a Texas tech. And got it. Wow, what a hood by rayford young. Pops a three point try good. Great for trying to render a red raiders back. God from another three. Rayford young. Couldn't quite make it to the NBA. And then Trey takes the final step. And makes it to the NBA. His uncle is regarded as actually the best player in the family before trade comes along. That's Rodney young. And Rodney was actually in attendance. On draft night and Radio City Music Hall. And was weeping when Trey was drafted. So those are his roots. I'm curious about ray his dad and his relationship with Trey? Do tune because I mean, look, he scored 1500 points at Texas tech, right? He's a legit former basketball player. How did he raise Trey? What was their dynamic like? As ray tells it, he didn't actually have to push trade that much. Trey grew up around basketball and he loved basketball. And he was the one who exerted discipline over himself when he was young. He wanted to wake up in the morning and practice what personality traits do you feel like you get from your dad? I think seriousness I know for a fact I get my focus and my attention to the important things and things that need to be done. He wanted to pursue this. He wanted to be a pro. And his father was eager and willing to push him in that direction once started to show those signs himself. I remember him in the 8th grade. I mean, ask me how much I wanted and told him how serious I wanted it to be and he really told me just treat everything like a pro and really since then, I mean, I'll just try to carry myself and whatever I'm doing and try to be as professional as possible. And it's obviously more complicated than that. Ray told me that he and Trey have but it has before. Because Trey sometimes thinks that ray is trying to live through him. But ray remains trains closest confidant and his biggest cheerleader and it's a really mutually supportive and loving relationship. And the thing that I remain so in awe of do too more than anything is the fact that Trey is this performer with a sense of the moment, when did he develop that stage presence? Well, as high school coach Brian Merritt describes it to me as a kind of defense mechanism. It's the way Trey had to be in order to thrive on a basketball court because he's not LeBron James. He's not imposing physically he's not amazing athletically. And so it's the gaudiness of his style. That's the way he imposes himself psychologically on opponents. I think the earliest documented occurrence that I could find of Trey's now famous bound. Was in a high school game. He went to Norman north high school and in a game against the crosstown rivals Norman high. He scored 42 points and then hit a game winner with 1.4 seconds to go. That Jim had been chanting the Trae Young was overrated the whole night. And as we now have learned to say from Michael Jordan, he took that personally. And at the end of the game after hitting that game winning shot, he about actually, I take that back out twice. The encore, the back out on the stage after the curtain has already closed sort of a move for a high schooler. It does seem precocious, don't do. Yeah, no, for sure. Trey was, you know, one of the ways I described TRE as one of the earliest members of the ball is life generation. Someone who's highlight reels we've been watching since he was like 15 and 16 years old. The mixtape generation, yes, the viral phenomena of the basketball Internet. Exactly right. And so in the area where Trey grew up, he was the cause of overcrowded gyms in his first AAU team and his high school team in Oklahoma and Texas and Kansas and.

"An augmented, there is really one place in one place only where we could begin a story about Trae Young. So just set the stage for us to man. Where are we when are we? It's June 2nd, 2021 in Madison Square Garden. It's the first round of the NBA playoffs. It's game 5 of what has been a contentious, closely contested, but ultimately one sided series between the Atlanta Hawks and the New York Knicks. So garden filled with the best fans in sports came back as the Knicks come back, make the playoffs for the first time in 8 years. The hawks are up three one in the series and they're up 12 points in game 5 with less than a minute to go. And Trae Young has the ball in his hands, and he's dribbling. You can call it, or it's closer to idling really. He seems to be waiting for something. And then suddenly he steps back with his feet on the edge of the Knicks logo and drains a deep three pointer with 43 seconds to go. He then turns and walks to half court, glaring right back in an arena that had spent weeks glaring and cursing and one time spitting at him. And he takes about. As young fires from way down and takes him out. Not appreciated. It should be added. Yeah, no, I remember vividly all of the middle fingers, all of the signs that were being passed out to taunt this guy, and this guy, it turns out, was acutely aware do tune of the significance of the theater. Where he was. MSG is a coveted stage for NBA players. And it's been host to a bunch of statement moments and statement games, Steph Curry recently broke the all time three point record there. There's Kobe's famous 61 point game, which was then the record for most points in MSG. There's Michael Jordan's famous double nickel game in his 5th game back from his first retirement. You're mentioning a lot of visiting players for the record here. Yes. That's true. Unfortunately for the New York Knicks, most of the most iconic moments in that arena belong. To visiting players, trace says after this performance in a press conference that I know where we are. I know it's a bunch of shows around this city. And I know what they do in the show is over. So that's pretty much what it was. Which is a statement hawks prep CEO Steve kunan described to me as genius. Now Steve kunan has deep roots in Atlanta and was in fact one of the marketers behind Sprite in the 1990s. So this is a man who knows a marketing moment when he sees one. No, it was marketing genius do tune and had made, I think everybody in New York City realized, oh, oh, I really wish we had that guy, and that that guy hadn't just done this to us. Trey is the kind of player you love to hate, right? That's a cliched figure in sports. You really love him when he's not playing for you. But you're actually secretly desperate to have him playing for you. The next desperately I think hate Trae Young and hate the fact they have to deal with him for years to come. But it's clear as well that they really want a player like Trae Young. It is one thing to be an all star. Or a superstar, or even an MVP. It is another thing entirely to be a performer. A performer genuinely relishes the theater of the stage. And the spotlight and the pressure. Especially when that audience desperately and jealously, hates your guts, so today, ahead of all star weekend. Do tune akintoye profiles Trae Young.

Just that i was very disappointed in the In the catholic church at that time for the treatment of these lovely men that i knew and appreciated mighty conversion story is you know started with monty python meaning of life. There's a scene where a church and the priest says. Oh god you also great. We're all really impressed with you down here. I sure can tell you you know. And i was like. That's what we're actually doing. Well that is spot on like the truth of the comedy. Bit really hit me hard. I went to church that week. And i was like.

And i was like now says no one up there so i'm looking at the ceiling talking to myself. This is crazy by life. got better from that day. I have another question about life after religion. Like i wanna know from there. You know you start losing community because a lot of people will be like okay. this is bullshit. There's no way that happened.

Does that make sense like it was. I don't wanna why. Am i even go into that in the first place. I i don't like that place. And then as i got older and thinking of and like then there was also this other. This added rationale. This added layer. Of like i tried to go there and hear all that bullshit that they say and i swear to god like every i i went to. I got drugged to charge a couple of times out two years by various girlfriends that i had at the time and i swear to god every single. We're talking three or four times. Ever and every one of those times day would end up talking about gay people band damon's and shit like every time i went there was some there was some little you know. Queers are the devil aside as part of the that was that was one of the you know one of the headline. I know we get an after lunch. We'll get back to how queer the devil or whatever like there's all they always at least ref that was at least detoured into that area at least once and every time i get. I'd have a girlfriend back. I don't fuck. I don't want do that. I don't want to do that. And then i finally give in and we go and that would happen and i would like scoff in the pews. You know whatever embarrass her. She me out of there and back i told you i don't wanna fucking come to this place and i wouldn't have to go back and then we would break up. Never see them again. There's there's a there's a there's a there's like a divide between human beings right like some people go as kids and get dragged into church and they have their gay or gay friend or the jewish girl down the street that their friends with somebody in their life. That's not that you know conservative christian or whatever and they hear that. Garbage from the pulpit. They hear shit like that person's going to hail. If you're not a part of this church you're gonna burn in hell dot in gazer an abomination and there's two types of people. One type does what you did what i did. And what many people do where they're like. Well i love the hell out of xyz and that sounds poisonous dancers and bullshit. So i'm leaving this situation because my human connection with this person means more to me than anything else but there's another type of person that goes oh will then. My uncle is an abomination. I'll never talk to him again. In fact let me bring it up at the dinner table europes shit because you like him in. And i don't i don't know what causes us to be so different and so that you're right about that. It blows my mind that shit happens. You know. i've known plenty of people. I've known plenty of gay. People got like you know kicked out of their whole family forever. We've raised raised money for them on this show multiple times. We've set them up apartments and help them move out my grandpar- my mom paw you know my gay uncles and my dad's parents right like i mean they were fucking pretty old school and they just it was just. They just never taught my uncle and his partner. My uncle mike read every thanksgiving every christmas. Everything always they were always around they. It was just like they didn't talk about it. My grandparents didn't talk about it. But like ages and i think about my grandpa. And how much of a fuck and you know redneck. He was and i'm like man if that dude could put up with his gay son or whatever like you got to be a real piece of shit to put your kid out on the street or whatever you know what i mean but people do it all the time it it blows my mind to that point. I always say when christian say that homosexuality is unnatural. I'm like well clearly it's not. There's plenty of animals in the animal. Kingdom that are homosexual. But you know it's unnatural throwing your child out over nothing. Yeah over something trivial that you don't see that in the animal kingdom that is a natural and that's religion. Yeah absolutely so you just that simple you were just like it was absolutely that simple. And because of that. I don't have like i don't really have like hangups and stuff about religion at all like i know a lot of people do that were that were because i was who have had a lot of people do. I wasn't traumatized by the church. Personally you know like because i sort of escaped it. I guess is how. I feel the way the way i word. It and i've said this multiple times on the show is 'cause i'll get emails from atheists. Sometimes they'll be like dude. Why are you so. Why do you focus on this. Sometimes and try to talk people out of their beliefs. Let people believe what they wanna believe and leave him alone and i no because we share a freeway and if you let jesus take the wheel we're both fucked okay so your beliefs inform your behaviors and you're out here voting and driving around and raising children and we need to work together as a community so you being a full on bible believer homosexuals on abomination. You're affecting my life just existing as a bigot. So i wanna talk to you about it and those who are willing to talk to me about it. They come on the show and do it. You know i. I do have a bone to pick with religion and not just that but that informs shit like psychics and crystal healers and and breaky healers and our people who were throwing money. People are throwing money into you. Know fake cures and in aligning your shockers and all this other stuff. That is just like it's all snake. Oh it is. And and that's what i'm talking about when i mentioned the scam thing. It's like you know if you're healthier as a community we're healthier. If the four of us were neighbors and mike kim get sick. We're now all exposed to that sickness right. We'll if you're believing bullshit and pedaling bullshit and you're getting trained to q. And on now and michael are you know what i mean it. It just people believing true things and behaving in good ways as a humanist. It's good for everybody. So that's my. That's my fight. I wasn't necessarily traumatized by religion. But i will tell you that i felt the need to not only get it right but make damn sure other people got it right to you. Know what i mean. Yeah that makes sense. Yeah make sense This is house. Talk to somebody about this whole crystal thing and like. Oh it's the blood moon. That's why i'm acting like this. Is i think a lot of lack of accountability and i. It's because of this that act like this or this. Why i'm allowed to act like this and if you strip away the crystals fucking Korean retrograde. Yeah just. Just all that sean. Because i'm a cancer. That's why i'm temperamental. it's like no dude your mental. Because you never fucking thought about. You had the fact that you may have anger issues. Due to childhood trauma maybe should work on that shit so of childhood trauma. Yeah let's get into your story of a. Yeah yeah. I know nothing about your your religious situation I knew trays joke about. I've never even email. Jesus that that that that that little bit. I knew. I don't know anything about how you grew up or what's going on. I don't even know where you are. Now to be honest. And i i know you've you don't consider yourself a religious person but yellow. Let's dive in wall. I'm not religious anymore I was. I was raised christian. You know so my family would go to church and actually my dad would. He wouldn't wear the gulf.

He's like this is my bible and you know my i don't know what the fuck is going on. But he's like you need to watch this. Watch this shit you know and then But anyways i go to church and Right around high school and of high school junior senior year. I started doing drugs right. So then i stopped going to church and then and i wanted to quit drugs so desperately that i went back to church but lack of my own accord nachos a specific church and then i go and man i never have people make me feel so fucking guilty for like being honest in my life you know they want you to be honest.

You know much much preferred sleeping on sundays. Also she just wasn't there so who's going take church but anyway But her family. Her family got my aunts and uncles and she on that side. They all went to church. And so i would go to church with them sometimes in that type of thing cousins or whatnot. But i live with my dad. My dad never fucking went to church. And my dad had one Sibling a younger brother. My uncle tim That pass went two thousand thirteen uncle. Tim is still with us. But my a tam is gay and is openly gay and was then to yes dad. Explain this all to me. You know when i was probably i think like i was like nine or ten something like that. My dad was like he knew that i was going to start here in shit at school. Do you know what i mean. just just homophobic stuff or whatever about michael specifically or just whatever and i mean. He was small town a small town. Yeah but also. Just i think it was. You know the nine ds in the south held the nineties. Most i feel like you're probably gonna start hearing some you know homophobic shit when you get a certain age. Maybe still today. i don't know but anyway. So he was getting out ahead of that and sorta like sat me down explained to me. Hey he's gay this. What i didn't know i never heard of gay. That's when i found out what gay meant you know what i mane. And he's like. Yeah your uncle. Tim's gay and so like he was. They were real close. I was real close monocled. I still i am so like i. Didn't he told me that. And i was just like okay. Whatever you know. I didn't care at all. I don't even think. I'd started like being into girls yet. You know because. I was like so young. I'm gay to held fine. You know I just didn't give a shit is point at all and i was like. He's like he's like yoga gay. What's that mean. He doesn't like girls eight lindsey. she's eight right. Yeah but i was still intermittently going to church every now and then and i started at some point like picking up on that whole part of it. Who's taking you to church. I was like. I said i had older cousins specifically. Who would go that. My sister was rookie older female cousin and she was my my sisters older sister and there was a first baptist church and go to that and i would go to. I had like cousins and shit. That would go to church. So i will go sometimes but i started picking up on that I'll at you know. Guys are an abomination type. Talk or whatever. And i didn't like it. You know obviously and was so. It was super simple for me because that as soon as that happened. I told my dad. Like i'll think i want to do all that anymore. You know and my dad who. I'd never never one time on tire life. I see my dad set foot church building. So i was like. I don't want to do all that anymore. He was like oh. Yeah turned skinner backup. You know shit. He was like totally eight. Good on you know. He didn't want me going to chart. So i stopped going to church when i was like probably tan ish so i barely like the two guys a tour with corey andrew. They both grew up in the charts and like they laugh at me all the time. For how Bible dumb i am. I don't i like the. I think they're fucking may a lot of the times. I'll be like chadron a billy goat. The fuck you talking about. You know it's a real thing I don't know. I only know like the hits the top five bible jams jams. Oh four. I need to come on your podcast and bring some and we'll play a game where you try to guess whether this so funny. We have said that about that about corey drew. We have said that they should do that a million times and they're always like yeah. We should do that and then they just don't just don't help bring in. I know it. I know it really well. Yes so i just I always tell people. I grew up. Mostly like a religious and what vialed is like. It is super common in because okay. I grew up in salona tennessee which is a town of like less than a thousand people. There's no traffic lights. There is no mcdonald's or wal marts. I mean it's rural middle of nowhere so very small town very deep south and like it is absolutely very common there but like all of my best friends dad still friends with none of us ever fucked church at all but we were also all very broken because say salah i'm not. I'm not connecting those two. I know it sounds like i am. I'm saying we're all from at least somewhat broken homes and i feel like that leads to less Getting dragged to church type material because there's big factory closed down in salona which led to the decimation of the entire town culturally socially and economically double digit unemployment. Like i said my mom was on pills. So nobody's got job. Everybody is on drugs. Fuck in all it. Everything is just terrible so like all my best friends. All of our parents were divorced. Have parents drug addicts. Whatever sounds like you fuckers. Need jesus i you. You'd think that's what everybody thinks when that situation right. That's that's my idea. And that's why in those areas didn't church attendance usually spikes because people are. They're poor the destitute. They're scared and they go to that for comfort. That's kind of the whole sales pitch from religion. Unless i'm a lately honest. I got no love for the lord whatsoever at all but like i don't know couple these dudes i'm talking about and thinking about right now. Like might have turned out a little better if they would have went to church as opposed to the shit as opposed to shit they ended up doing. Yeah i've i've definitely heard some stories where i'm like. I'm glad you had some sort of religious guidance is yes but But yeah non. None of us ever went to church and put it so. It's weird because i don't i sort of had that revelation when i was an adult. Do you not like we. I also took it for granted that it's like culturally and grind. Where i grew up again. Everybody goes to church nice talking about all time and it's like one day i mean i was a full i mean i probably like in my twenties not that long ago. I just sorta realizes equate. None of us fucking went to church right and we didn't but this is just like the group of like five six dudes that were like my closest friend. Okay so you so take me back to you. Being ten years old you start hearing much homophobic stuff at church. You say you don't wanna go. You're close with your uncle. How did that. How did that come to pass like. What did you end up doing to reconcile that reconcile. Which like like it. That's the catalyst for you that you start you sort of being like well. I'm close with my uncle and churches. Like what like what point were you like. I'm taking my uncle side. Not the church aside. I don't remember specific moment. But i believe it to be immediately like i don't think i ever would have taken. Jeez i used to actually make a joke about that. I like you know. Mark comes over every sunday for chicken. Titans games. I've never even emailed. Jesus you know. Why would i fucking take. Jesus is side over. Michael's i don't think i ever would have taken..

There's a fifteen second clip you can do or you can do. Thirty second or sixty clip. You don't have to do thirty six thirty seven and a half seconds. It can be whatever you want okay. So that's where i'm getting. We don't have to do this. But what's getting confused as it. I'll maximum of three minutes up to kind of is you could start a three minute. Only do twenty seconds of it. And then dr do that. I don't either. That's weird so i think maybe it's like well i want to keep it a min max then if you recorded directly into the app then it'll stop right.

"I'm jay paul. We are straight outta vegas. And i'm jonas knocks voice of you the fan and rj. It's been a chaotic twenty. Four to forty eight hours in the ncaa as college. Athletes are now able to capitalize on name image and likeness. We've seen everything from division two and three athletes signing with barstool sports. There was an arkansas wide. Receiver signed with petsmart all sorts of fun stuff happening in game college athletics right now so i should say as a little tease. I'm going to have a full best bat here in about three minutes on the milwaukee and atlanta game six so just came up with a look at the numbers. It's it's an obvious one but name image likeness to me. There's two issues here. jonas one is. It's absurd that there were for so long these fat and happy. Ncaa types and if you've ever been or even observed any kind of bowl game type stuff. It's the swag. It's the party's it's the drinks. it's the shrimp. They put shrimp in their suit pockets. Aluminum foil to take home. It's shrimp shrimps shrimp. And then you've got kids who literally you could make. The case are the. I don't even think you make the case. I think it's a unequivocal. There are the main reasons. These games are popular. It's not the executives. it's the the players and they were supposed to be eating a roman noodles or whatever for fifty nine cents on a little hot play in a given spot. Now i get it. There's training table. And i get it. There's a lot of advantages that athletes have especially in revenue. Sports d one at certain schools. No dow but you know what they deserve that and more in the idea that have their parents come. See them play or something. They couldn't do it often times unless they did something illicit and it was like okay. Well that's fine. Just wink. Wink do it. But it's is negative. It hurts a society when you force people to break laws because if you make something illegal that should be legal and you don't enforce it you could say it's no big deal man just do it. It's a yeah but anytime the government whoever the authority is decides the you know we're gonna start enforcing that all of a sudden now like wait a minute you know can. Can they go after you even though they wink wink before. And then the thing is we all have a certain feeling when we do something that breaks the rules now. Some of us like that are certain people love break but most people don't like it to sort of force someone to break a rule to have what seems like a basic right or at least a basic benefit for being such a good player or even a division one player in a revenue sport. I think is absurd and wrong especially when it's contrasted with all the shrimp eating that's going on to me. Would i find the moore fascinating part of this. Is the whole title nine debate. So you know. Most people were no title. Nine is i think. It's fair to say a subsidy where the revenue sports will. How women's sports and these are sports that may be or or oftentimes or a net negative financially but because are subsidized by the football program with the basketball program. They get a chance to have a woman. Soccer team a women's tennis team etc and even saw a stanford when when there was issues of revenue. They were starting to cut sports a lot of sports. I think they've actually backtracked on that. But i mean the very fact that there are. These programs is driven by the revenue sports. So to me. That's a wonderful thing and anyone. That scene young women Participate in sports. I think it's unequivocal that. There's a real benefit to that. Now my point would be that now that you're gonna compensate. How do you say well. The women don't get it but the men do. We can talk about while the revenue generation. I liked the name image likeness. Because it's not about the schools given any money to these players. Let's not lose sight of that. It's the players being freed to to be compensated for what they should own anyway. This is their name their image their likeness and thus to be compensated for. That isn't what the school gave them. It's restriction that was lifted and the beauty of it is a lot of these women in some of the sports and art revenue generating have a huge social media following like collins talked about and they will make a lot of money from it so to me it feels very capitalistic. And very american. And i think it's a at least a good start in that direction and rj. We've got a good start to the weekend here for a lot of people as we have a best bet now in game six of the nba playoffs coming up tomorrow night. It is the box at the hawks and right now. Atlanta is a two and a half point favorite on pregame.com. Okay i'm shifting gears for my hot take my cold cash over heartache gear and i really like and we're gonna make a fool best bet on the milwaukee bucks plus two and a half now. We'll do a comparison here. It's real simple this handicap game. Three would be the analogous game to this trae young. But but but trae young wasn't how was healthy in that game coming in and that's where the interesting thing is but assuming trae young one hundred percent how the game three would be the analog the analogy and in that game it was milwaukee favored with janas healthy. Two by four and a half. Okay now it's atlanta by two and a half so if you do the math at seven but when you go through pick it actually is worth half as much. We'll call it a six point adjustment. Don't have to worry about the math. It's a six point adjustment. Yawn is worth about six points. So it's like okay. Healthy trae young healthy yawn is now we take on us away. We adjusted move six points. Two and a half is exactly right except trae. Young's health is a big question mark. There's a chance he might not play even if he does play. It's a great chance he's not gonna be one hundred percent so to whatever degree trae young's health is less than one hundred percent. It offers you perfect value here on walkie plus two and a half because if trae young were one hundred percent the lines should be two and a half the fact that it is and he's not one hundred percent is value full best bet walkie plus two and a half over atlanta saturday.

"So than than anybody in the postseason. I think he's right there. I mean maybe paul george probably going to get some love from some and i think rightfully so yeah and outside of that. I'm just trying to think who would even be in. The conversation of guys who whose value has gone up as much as trae young as postseason. We had an interesting conversation about chris. Paul because the sense is the amount of attention he's getting is gone way up. I would make the case if you just look at his play on the core now. He's had some good games in the most recent one was a real good game but otherwise i think you almost look at chris paul and thank you. You would almost downgrade them now. You can say well post it. We're going to give him a break for the first three games. Okay and it's going to be. And then he hurt his shoulder. So we're gonna give them a break in the lakers series. Okay but then where. We're the good games at so. They chris paul though. He's getting a lot more talk. I think a best. He's worry was mitchell. Maybe yeah donovan. Mitchell was pretty good. Devon booker has been good isn't actually thinking about booker probably more than mitchell. I'd say but. I also think that there was a feeling going into the playoffs. That we've seen devon booker just monster performances. We've seen these guys and how well they played at the bubble. I don't think anybody saw this from trae young. I know who's talented. But i saw this. I think un debatably trae young has been the biggest upgrade because the the knock on trae young was lot offense. He capacity wants to pass otherwise huge defensive liability. Kind of like a dominic wilkins almo- you know. He's a trading. Tracy mcgrady a guy that can score. The mcgready was bigger a guy that can score but otherwise he goes up the box score but doesn't help a team win was the rap. Yeah i think you can make the case. It's the opposite now that he's still fills up the box score but he's a winner. I mean this guy on the road. This guy's guts and it really goes to show you how if his ankle if we thought he was gonna play last game and then he misses that when mrs a second one it proves more than anything the information flow when it comes to injuries is not in any way related to reality they. They are trying to deceive us at every turn and to me. That's peccadillo when people are betting on these games would ever competitive edge you gain by not letting the opponent nowhere where the true state of the other players or the players on your team are if feels like the amount of deception and with money is a bad combination and i also wonder and i thought about this and this is probably a crazy thought but i was just thinking that maybe atlanta's approach to last night was this. They feel like there's a better chance. Trae young is gonna come back in this series than jaanus and if i were to bet i would say there's i would absolutely bet on that happening. And maybe they thought we trust that with trae young. We can beat this team on the road or at home so why not sit him last night. Get a couple cheat and get a couple extra days rest. We'll sacrifice loss and go down three two knowing. We're probably not going to have to deal with jaanus in game six and seven but at least we'll have trae young back and a little bit more healthy to do so. You know when. I hear you say that the first start i have is the idea that he could play. But hey go take a nap. But no what you're saying is. He was somewhere on the borderline perhaps and if he would've went it would've been like a real man he's got he's got see to go here. And your rationale being and i don't know though because if you look at game six so game six saturday night and game six is in atlanta. This is a game that you know. The home team should be a clear favor and they're only favored by what's occurred number two mckenzie two and a half two and a half so this is slightly below home court. So what they're saying is whatever chance is a trae young plan. Walkie is still the better team by a smidge. That's showing you. How bad and again. I think it shows you. How good the milwaukee pick which. It's easy to say now. In hindsight up mine is four was and the rationale was simple if with jaanus. This team is favored by with you on his n. A. trae young. So let's say both starters in milwaukee home was upwards of eight and some spots a different points so the idea that y- honest is gone and trae young is gone and the net effect should be a four point. Swing you know downgrading milwaukee that says janas four points better than trae. I just doesn't make sense to me. Where what did it close at. Because i know when we were on the air we started the show yesterday for people that made maybe didn't hurt it. We started the show yesterday. And the line was two. And a half milwaukee minus two and assumption was young was playing but like you hobbled and then in sixty seconds and that's not even an exaggeration. It shot up to four. And so i just wondered there was still an hour and a half or so before the game tiptop. I just wonder how much more the line move. It closed a close four and a half with some minus jews on the favorite so it was like let's say four point seven five in between four and a half five so less than you think but again it could be because you honest is considered so much more valuable which i disagree with or number two. It could be that when there's only an hour hour and yeah if it's a professional syndicate. They're they're watching. There's a lot of people that real money that were maybe at dinner with their family. And in general things move the financial markets move on the stock market and milliseconds but even though betting his millions and millions and billions of dollars. It doesn't move quite. Sometimes you see an injury like the steelers. They lost a castro on our podcast. We quickly had a bed on pittsburgh under like within about twelve hours and then what ended up happening under for the season wins. Then that season wins went down over the next week it just. The markets are not as efficient. Which is an advantage to batters the more efficient market. Is the harder it is to be. Go ahead what there have been more of a movement. Sorry to interrupt. Were there have been more of a movement if this or a weekend game last night was a sad there. I'd say less of less of a movement because in general batters are human beings that that have weekends and they're especially during the summer when a lot of people are on the lake or whatever. They do I like to stay in vegas but other people do other things. So i in fact there's a phenomenon in which if it's christmas night or whatever and there's an injury that's when the some of the the more predatory batters aggressively try to bet because they got the b. team or the c team in there and they don't know how to move the lines so yeah. This is as big as this industry is. It's not twenty four hours. You know with a full staff. I quickly mackenzie gimme a ranking now between atlanta oak as they were constituted last night. Okay see i guess what houston orlando. Go ahead yeah. I would have the thunder with s g better than this hawks team. But i would have the hawks definitely better than the magic of the rockets clint cappella. Like you said defensively still a very effective player probably more effective than anybody on the bottom five team currently. Okay so what happened to you. The well a point on which subtract point. So what would you have concluded if you would have done it. That way twentieth. Do you see the flaw. Sometimes you have to reconsider. Things taught me told me all right. Well we're going to give him time to do that. Let's take our first break when we come back. We're going to dig in a little bit too milwaukee's performance and most specifically. What is it that they did in this game. Without jaanus the speaks very well to them against phoenix if they make it and you on this comes back. Ease rj bell. I'm jonas knox's to the pre-game show.

"Game three of the west finals tonight clippers win this feeling pretty musty teams that go down. Oh in three are all in one hundred forty three in those series. Lipson down to twice already this postseason. Though in fact someone on today's show didn't believe they'd still be around. I don't see that person. In the plasma the mutes going to go to. Emily ramona on the clippers. Another comeback without quiet especially after that dramatic soul crushing dunk on your face finished a game. Two this is a team that just seems to be at their best when you believe in them. The least i mean this is i don't know what it is about. This clipper team they. They're they're really good as the underdog. There really good when you when you don't believe in them and so i. I've covered each of these three series. They're coming back home and over the two games they lost in the first round. They were terrible in those first two games and they were at home against utah. Not that close. These two games have phoenix. Were actually pretty close. And i know the sons are going to get a lift because chris paul's is planning to come back and play tonight. He's been cleared and health and safety protocols. So he's he's he's listed as available for tonight's game but i i like the clip tonight at home but they have. They've really found something with that. Paul george terrence man combination their remote. Or you live in la. I used to live in l. a. It's drama is what it is. They are just leaning into where they're from. It's all about the drama. I'm gonna leave you. Believe in the clips. Do you know what they haven't done in a series is dictated or set the tone. What they've been doing is reacting and all the players. It's fine because tyler was bill belichick. He makes so much adjustments. But there's something even bill belichick adjust to. This team is gassed. Paul george specifically is so over taxed with leonard out out of all the players remaining in the playoffs. No one is averaging more minutes per game than his forty and tie louisville admitted that he's fatigued. Maybe it's affecting his shot selection. Maybe this is just me editorializing. That's the reason they miss those two free throws so yeah. Of course they've come back from before but it's a lot more heart is a lot more difficult. When you're that tired k. I feel like you are the opposite of me. I keep saying. I'm not going to let the kipps clips burn me. I don't believe in them anymore. And you're somehow taking the exact opposite stance with the same logic. You're exactly right. I mean up. Until now. I really refuse to charlie brown and let the host of this show hostess. Show be lucy and the clippers. Be the football but this time. I'm running up full speed and i'm kicking. Why because they are getting back. Cpa three they had campaign in his stead. Go for twenty nine thousand nine. He's playing with a high degree of confidence. And this is a team that just swept aside another team so this is a different situation. That the clippers are running into this time and i don't think that they're going to be able to get out of this. Oh to matter what you say. I am always lucy and i do often charge for my advice at a stand. So just keep that in mind. Jackie mac are the clips out of this already. I'm just curious. Lucy used to be five cents. What is it. What are we got. Twenty five dollars a minute. Wow ooh right here. My concerns about the clippers number. One they got out scored sixty two thirty in the paint in that previous game. I do not know how that happened with campaign. Is your starting point guard instead of chris. Ball mr never have a turnover. Clippers only forced seven turnovers. And here's my third big issue. Marcus morris has barely played in the second half of the last two games. Why that matter for one. He brings incredible physically to this team and number two. He's the key to their when they go small for that small lineup which i think really benefits them against the phoenix suns. So i'm skeptical. Bill bell check or not Yeah.

"Years. Old somehow is trae young on his way to superstar. Status or ramona is already superstar. Oh i think he's there. I gotta be honest. Like he has everything you want in a star he's got personality swagger like he came into the league and we all wondered. Oh is it was that trade for luca doncic is going to be the right move there. He's in the conference finals. Luca was home in the first round. And i was so impressed with luca but men trae young is translating to winning right now. He's not empty stats. He is translating to win it be on his way or already. They're already there. he's been there. I bought his shoes back in further. Worry of twenty one all right because of what he was already doing. This guy is incredible. What you just saw him do last night has never been done by a player before in a conference in a conference finals. Put those kind of numbers. These electric watch. He's fearless on the road. He he enjoys it. He even said that he liked playing on the road in middle school because he liked the fans to get back in middle school. And you can see that. He carries his team on his back. He is the new steph curry. Put that one down in thirteen playoff games. He's already avenue more points and more assists thirty ten than did steph curry in his expert. What i'm looking for. Hey great nugget about trae young and middle school. Where'd you get that. do you know. Jackie maybe perhaps something. I wrote out drinks. I'm not sure i will say this. How do you stop trae young. You could shoot from the logo. He can drive to the basket. Hit that floor. And by the way while he's driving to the basket and you think he's gonna hit that floater instead. He's gonna throw up. The clint capella or whomever else. He realize dan. Ben simmons tried to stop him. All defense drew holiday. Tried to stop them last night. All defense but the thing. That impressed me most sarah and the reason i put him in the superstar category is now. He's making his teammates better. Because he's averaging over a ten ten assists a game in every time they win and that's to me puts him in that staff back u matic sounding like someone who wrote a story about him. I'm really last word to you. I'm one the professor. He's averaging more points per game than steph curry's eight points more per game those thirteen games. That's incredible the audacity of this kid to take those shots. The disrespectful alleyoop the shimmy he just does what superstars do he can take over a game. You see that would lebron. You see luca and now you see that with trae young so fun to watch. I am loving this playoff the young superstars. Let's go to the. We got.

"A turnover every now and then a nice throw in the back of the end zone and landry but then as they started winning old browns one again oda prowse one again oda browns pete kansas city. You you see baker mayfield. Your iso telling you. There's something different when in all honesty. It's the same thing all right. Well let's just straight talk straight talk wireless because it's not only baker who's gonna be looking for the contract and the quarterback from that draft class. What other players will be playing now. You say baker's not playing but how about this year in twenty twenty one this coming season what players are playing for contract. Who's playing for his money right now. Well let's stay with his team both guys. Ob j. n. Landry ob j comes back and becomes lbj with the blonde hair and kicking of the net. Which i love then. They've got to think about extending his contract and taking a look at his numbers because he will be heavily under pay compared to other receivers in the league his teammate jarvis. Landry is will what happens with that. Can we keep to receivers it. Twenty five million dollars question right a piece right. 'cause if ob j. gets twenty-five i'll take twenty three and then i'll get the other two from j. Somehow that's that's the way land she's gonna take about in ob j. vice versa. So that's an issue that they've got to figure out how to address in can because you play with the salary cap. He played with numbers. You could pay whoever you wanna pay. Then you think about it. Let's go to saquon barkley at the giants his his opportunity to come back off. Acl at the running. Back spot. the only guy that i can think of off the top of my head that had a career like say quantity beginning and then eventually got hurt. Was adrian peterson. But asia peterson came back in asia. Peterson look like adrian peterson. No problem even better. So he's playing for huge contract and is to not only that if he could help the giants get to the playoffs and help danny jones become the guy that they got when he drafted and he thought that that was guy. It helps his contract situation. Allen robinson from chicago bears is. He's on the franchise tag plan for seventeen million dollars which is below market value for player of his production. You look at what he's capable of doing. No matter who the quarterback he's been consists but how important he will he be especially if just feels as the one that takes over. He can also have more value based on the quarterback extremely important. So he's looking to have a big cash day. Then you think about the kyla. Murray arizona cardinals. What's going to happen. They're they're they're in a tough division. Okay there's a decision not only be made on a long term extension but also on the fifth year option pickup right. That'll need to be made. And if he goes out there and he leads the charge in cliff kingsbury in hold on his job because if they falter abc. Predictive kingsbury gets fired. And if that happens now all of a sudden column he doesn't have the guy that made an offense just for him just for him. It turns different now. Coach comes in and say well i. I don't really want this guy. I don't know if i can remember this guy. He takes him to the playoffs even a wild card berth. Just the last team barely slip in. That's that's more improvement and that's more than what the car does have had in recent years. Now we're talking long term extension. That would say a lot in that division for do that. They'll do that. Not division against those those teams. Especially those i miss it and i know i'm missing some guys robert woods out in. La believe he's up for contract extension and he's terrific in terms of everything that embodies a professional wide receiver people always say. Why are you always putting robert woods list. Because he's a pro man nothing to do with him being usc in la. He's a real pro. Like do do play in when you say. He's a review a real player. But that's what people should listen. If you say you get caught up in hype though. Oh he had one hundred and five catches thirteen. No no no no. I want him to be opposite of me. I wanna play with him. Yeah it's a real pro and that you saying that is highest compliment because you would know number one. Trust your eyes. So i i would definitely do that as something. That definitely a name. You keep on the straight talk brought to you by straight talk wireless no contract no compromise coming up every year. Eight teams are faced with the challenge. Going from worst to first so who is likely to make that leap this year. We'll discuss that after. He has this from hulu still wearing the clothes from last night. Not kidding smell still pounding on that remote control night after night. Hulu has all the shows and movies you love and before you ask..
