0:00 You know what it's fandom?

0:01 What's that, Rich?

0:03 This is fandom.

0:04 When you would normally have a massive problem

0:09 with a way an athlete is conducting himself or talking,

0:14 but then he's yours, and it's not a problem.

0:18 Or for instance, Oh.

0:22 For instance, no, no, no, just for instance.

0:24 Uh let's say an all-time great shortstop,

0:26 one of the greatest human beings on planet Earth.

0:28 Let's say his name is Derek.

0:29 Oh, jeez.

0:30 Okay.

0:31 Let's say he decides to retire.

0:34 And makes it be known this is my last year.

0:39 And other franchises decide to honor you.

0:43 Like you asked for it, but because of who you are,

0:48 wherever you go, you are honored,

0:51 and you're given gifts before games and things of that nature,

0:54 and somebody would then look at that and say, "That's making it about you.

1:00 You're going on a retirement tour.

1:02 I think that's weak." And then say somebody

1:05 named um Papi does the same exact thing,

1:10 and all of a sudden it's like, "Oh, this is wonderful." You see what I'm saying?

1:14 think that's happened.

1:16 Uh-huh.

1:17 Okay.

1:18 I see the path that you're on.

1:19 That's exactly what happened.

1:21 I disagree.

1:22 in this chair in the same way you've sat in that chair for a decade plus.

1:27 I've been here, and I see it.

1:30 I was So, I was cool with the farewell tour.

1:33 I am very anti-farewell.

1:35 Until it's Papi's, and then you're like, "You know what?

1:36 It's not that bad." I'm not going to go all in on it.

1:39 Better player than Jeter.

1:40 Okay.

1:42 Listen.

1:43 Yeah, that's a statement.

1:44 If another guy was talking like Jaylen Brown

1:49 has been talking after blowing a 3-1 lead, Yeah.

1:53 This guy be Blaming the guy for flopping.

1:55 This guy?

1:55 Would this guy be all over it or what?

1:57 I mean, you do know them for a while.

1:59 the answer.

2:00 I mean, I did say we should trade him like a 2 years ago.

2:03 Or or you know?

2:06 I also like the This.

2:07 Well, they see he was asked about again, he's he's twitching, man.

2:11 Yeah.

2:13 The guy who doesn't like flopping doesn't mind twitching.

2:17 [laughter] He needs to stop

2:18 He's twitching.

2:20 He be twitching.

2:22 All right.

2:23 So, on his Twitch feed, at least he's giving you answers, right?

2:26 I think this was an IG live yesterday.

2:28 Oh, my bad.

2:28 With Kevin Garnett.

2:29 So, he's IG'ing?

2:30 Yeah, right.

2:31 KG'ing?

2:31 Yeah, he was doing Oh, he's IG'ing with KG'ing?

2:33 No, this is Twitch.

2:34 This is?

2:34 Yeah.

2:35 did go live on IG with with KG today.

2:38 Uh anything KG does I I love.

2:40 Did you see I I got for some reason popped in my my feed, my algorithm,

2:45 the moment where he told Sager about his clothes to just go home and burn it.

2:49 Yeah.

2:50 All right.

2:50 It was really wonderful.

2:52 He they those two had a great day.

2:54 Hey, man, I love Kevin Garnett.

2:57 But this is about Jaylen Brown talking about how

3:00 um people are wondering is he disgruntled in Boston?

3:03 You heard about this one?

3:04 Yeah, Tracy McGrady started this, but yes.

3:06 Okay.

3:07 Hit it.

3:09 I think that Brad even had the response to this.

3:10 Like I said, me and Brad and Brad had a a great

3:13 relationship and I can play in Boston for the next 10 years.

3:16 I love Boston.

3:18 So, with that being said, moving on, I say this and I stand on this again.

3:24 Y'all can clip this.

3:25 This was my favorite season of my career.

3:30 Like I will say it even louder.

3:32 Like this is I stand on it.

3:33 I triple down, quadruple down, whatever y'all want me to say, chat.

3:37 You know what I mean?

3:37 And I'm coming on here to give context and talk about certain things,

3:42 but I'm really not here to clear up no backlash or or to you know,

3:47 I'm really here to add context because a lot of people in the media

3:51 and or social media don't always kind of select to use their brain.

3:59 Let me ask you a question.

4:00 Yeah.

4:01 If Jaylen Brown wants to play in Boston the rest of his career,

4:06 won't he play in Boston the rest of his career?

4:08 Uh yep.

4:09 Okay.

4:11 It's that simple, right?

4:12 It seems like it, yeah.

4:15 I don't know.

4:16 He says there's no beef.

4:17 Tracy McGrady saying that he's heard from Jaylen Brown's

4:20 people that he's very frustrated with the front office.

4:22 What would he be frustrated about?

4:24 Uh unclear.

4:25 Although Jay saying that this was the most

4:27 fun season of his career is interesting.

4:29 Well, you know what that means.

4:31 Well, he got the ball and he was kind of the man this year.

4:34 He He was well, along with Payton Pritchard and others, obviously.

4:41 But But collectively collectively Hey, you know,

4:44 I don't care to the to the people saying that there's a beef with Tatum.

4:49 Is there really, though?

4:50 I I I I I can't imagine there is.

4:53 They They were two seed this year.

4:55 Everybody thought they were going to go down the road of the Indiana Pacers

4:59 because their star player blew out his Achilles in the playoffs and that's it.

5:04 They're not going to be able to do

5:05 anything and then they wound up shedding salary,

5:09 so they weren't on aprons and things like

5:11 that and made it look like this thing is

5:13 toast and then they wound up the two seed uh with a three games to one lead.

5:20 You know.

5:22 But listen, I I I He's an outstanding basketball player who would look great

5:27 in Milwaukee if you want to take uh Giannis off of Jimmy Haslem's hands.

5:32 That was a nice little twist, too.

5:33 How many people knew Jimmy Haslem was a part owner of the Bucks,

5:36 co-owner of the Bucks?

5:37 I think he's majority owner.

5:38 I know, right now, right?

5:40 Yeah, so I don't know if we're going to play, but he's got, you know,

5:43 he's if if they have me, if they'll want me, I'll play the next 10 years.

5:47 It's like, you're in kind of in control.

5:49 He's eligible for a 2-year $140 million extension

5:54 on top of the 3 years he already has left.

5:56 Yes.

5:56 He's eligible to Yes.

5:57 He's kind of in control of where he wants to go.

6:00 Right.

6:00 So, I don't know why he would phrase it in that way.

6:04 If they have me.

6:06 Yeah, we want you.

6:07 Imagine if J.J.

6:08 Watt did that, what he would have said a few years ago.

6:11 Well, I mean Yeah.

6:13 Does Jaylen Brown have a barn with an elevator?

6:15 Okay.

6:16 And posting workout videos all the time of him?

6:18 about What about barn with an elevator?

6:20 See what I'm saying?

6:21 What if Aaron Judge did that?

6:22 Oh, well, yeah.

6:23 It'd be on.

6:23 Well, one person has a ring and an MVP in the playoffs.

6:28 One doesn't.

6:29 Juan Soto?

6:30 He has a ring.

6:31 But Yeah, yeah.

6:32 From years ago.

6:33 I don't hate Juan Soto.

6:34 Way, way, way before he just was all about money.

6:40 Like are you anti-money or something?

6:43 Absolutely not.

6:44 So, why you why you always on my man about,

6:46 you know, making his family situation he spurned his team.

6:50 I know, but

6:51 Because your team didn't want him.

6:52 They didn't want to give him a luxury suite.

6:54 Exactly right.

6:54 So, why don't you admit that if if it was another player who was up three

6:58 to one and then comes out and complains

7:00 about flopping and then says, you know, my bad,

7:03 let's move on and then he just keeps talking

7:06 and then he keeps talking about how about how, you know, I'm fine where I am,

7:10 but the season where I was the superstar all

7:14 by myself that carried the team was my favorite year yet.

7:17 What would you say about that?

7:19 Man, I think I just said all kinds of stuff about it.

7:21 Okay.

7:21 I mean, we all know And flopping is really

7:24 bad and who he's complaining about, they are floppers.

7:28 That's true.

7:30 SGA and Embiid are two of the worst guys who do it in the whole league.

7:38 I just feel Embiid's uncoordinated.

7:40 And you that.

7:40 Again, we all know why Embiid can't stay upright.

7:43 He ain't got no ligaments.

7:44 No ligaments and no appendix.

7:46 Yeah.

7:47 And I saw I saw one of those things

7:49 yesterday when I was driving by a car dealership.

7:51 Yeah.

7:51 It's pretty funny.

7:52 It's pretty funny.

7:52 I thought I thought it was Embiid.

7:54 Everything on his body is larger than life and just flopping around.

7:58 The only difference is Embiid's not saying buy this car.

8:01 I do not love buy a car Come on inside and find out the great deal for yourself.

8:05 I would buy a car from Joel Embiid Hyundai.

8:08 I would.

8:08 that, Jay?

8:09 Pretty funny.

8:09 [laughter] I do not love Jaylen Brown Tell me the difference.

8:13 talking so much like this.

8:14 You don't see it.

8:14 I I don't love it.

8:15 You don't see that thing in front of a car dealership saying,

8:17 "Oh, I can triple double." [laughter] I'm first team all NBA.

8:23 I don't love JB constantly streaming.

8:25 I would like that to stop.

8:27 Do you think Embiid does have a Hyundai?

8:29 You think Embiid does have a Hyundai deal?

8:31 He can't fit in a Hyundai.

8:32 Hyundais are big, dog.

8:33 Yeah, he's not out there going,

8:35 "Make every day feel epic." I don't know why I'm enjoying that.

8:41 [laughter] Hey, you made it all the way to the end.

8:43 Thanks for that.
