Just as we predicted, the NBA has rescinded Luca Doncha's 16 technical file,

allowing him to play Monday night's road game against the Detroit Pacers. I don't think we see. I mean, Detroit Pistons, the Pistons. I don't think we are nobody, anyone is surprised by that. The Lakers are playing too well. Luca is a super, super, super star. The last thing you want them to do is our board. Leading the league and scoring.

That's going to be a big game for him. Obviously, you know, they want the Lakers to keep winning too. Anybody that's been in Atlanta, you all know, y'all know. If you're Atlanta, you a guy, you know by the Claremont Lounge. You know exactly what I'm talking about. 70? Man, so my mocho. They ain't got stretch marks.

They got problems. Oh, man. Come on. Hey, I'm telling you, Joe, you're like, oh, no, I ain't no way. What you,

what you were doing now? You know, I, I, I, I, I, I,

you know, I, because, you know, like, you got a staple an institution somewhere. And you say,

man, you got, you just got to see it. Mm-hmm. You just got to see it. Yeah. I might, I might,

I might, I might have to pull up over to the clear mind. Yeah, how many times, How many times you went there? I ain't went but like once or twice. Because the first time, you got to go to the second time

to make sure what you saw the first time was legit. Make sure. And I went on a different night. So you got to make sure because it might, you know what? It might have been the old time was night. Right, right, right. So I just had to make sure what I saw the first time. Like, yeah, this is what they got.

Hey, but y'all shut out, man. Hey, you know, y'all got me hype, man. You know what, after the show, I'm gonna go to a booby trap tonight. What are you gonna go eat? Man, you feel like, no, you know, you can take your ass to bed. This is Leib McClough. Nah, no, no, I'm going for real.

Yeah, I'm not doing. Yeah, you ain't going nowhere. Hey, Joe. Hey, somebody, somebody put the, uh, uh, uh, it's on punts. It's on punts. Yeah, they, they got it up. Yeah. I'm, I'm telling you.

I'll tell you, I'll tell you, now. No, I'll get been in no five time. I've been there twice. Lakers March, they're 111, 125, 11 and 125, 1201. Offensive rating, a 112.8 defensive rating. Luca is averaging 37 points, nine rebounds, eight assists. Austin Reeves is averaging 21 points, five rebounds, six assists.

LeBron is averaging 19.6 rebounds, six assists, and the Lakers are. So what you think now, Joe, after what you've seen over the last, let's just say the last, basically last month since March, you think the Lakers are played themselves, are playing themselves into being contenders. I don't know about like championship contenders. I think they can get out the first round depending on who they play against. But champions, that's saying a lot.

That's saying a lot, man. I know they playing good. They're feeling good. They're looking good. But I don't know about contenders. You think they contenders? I don't know. I think they can beat everybody in the West.

I don't know if they can. I don't really think they can beat. San Antonio or or O KC O KC. But I've seen

Luca take down OKC by himself. Him and Kyrie, I saw that. Yeah. Yeah. I saw that.

O KC. So I know what Lucas can do. Yeah. The question is he's going to need Austin because Kyrie was able

to have some big games. He's going to need LeBron. Yeah. Efficient. Yeah. Somebody told me Yeah, they got a couple of bullet wounds They got some little exit wounds

Yeah, they do. Little style marks. Somebody don't put out a cigarette or something on them. It's okay. It's okay. We go with. Steph Curry teased the idea of possibly joining the Charlotte Hornets

after his father's Dale Jersey was retired by the franchise earlier this week. Always keep your options open. Like you saying, I know what that means when you get your jersey retired. It's immortalized. Nobody should ever be able to tell you. But I'm sure he would make an exception for you would make a special exception if that were the case.

Joe? You saying if Steph Curry go to Charlotte and get his dad jersey after rafters? I don't see that. They definitely be sold out every night. I know he's from now. I know that's home from. But I can't see that. I can't.

I'm sorry. I can't see it. I don't see him playing anywhere but Golden State. Yeah. Steph is in an era where everybody's kind of moving around. Steph is a one-jurgy team. One-jurzy guy? I don't know about that neither, fellas.

Do you think Steph might be able to deal? I don't know. I think it might be possible. I mean, I think the Warriors probably, if they ain't making a play in, Arkansas, Ocho, they ain't in the playoffs. It's like, man, don't let them go out. Don't let him go out like that.

Like, I think you can trade him, And he can still contend for a title. You put him on the right team. Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah. Absolutely. I just think that course is kind of ran when it comes to Golden State. Yeah, they don't get him back there.

I don't see that. No. I'm Luke Wilson. Join me each week for Film Never Lies. Since retiring from the NFL, I've had a lot of my mind. And now, got my own show. So if you're tired of lazy takes, if you want honest conversations, join us each week.

Film Never Lies, available on all TSN platforms in the IHeartRadio app. Why hasn't a woman formally participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade? Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age. What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a 2023 event called Wagageddon change the paddock forever? That day is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman,

and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on No Grip, a Formula One Culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport. In each episode, a different guest and I will go deeper into the wacky mishap, scandals and sagas, both on the track and far away from it that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to No Grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Marsh Madness is here, and if you're trying to keep up with everything happening on and off the court, we've got you covered on the podcast, flagrant and funny.

You look at the top four number one seeds. What do you think UCLA is going to do? Break down that for me, my friend. I do think UCLA has a really good chance of getting back to the final four. Obviously, Yukon is the overwhelming favorite in this tournament. But I'll be honest, I think people. are kind of sleeping on Texas. Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to Yukon

and that right after that would be Texas. SEC is so deep and so thinking just about everything. It really is annoying. So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU, only ones that could possibly upset Yukon. On Flagrant and Funny, we're giving our unfiltered takes on the biggest moments of the conversations everyone's having. So whether your bracket is busted or you just want the latest on the tournament,

We got you. Listen to Flakrant and Funny with Carrie Champion and Jamel Hill on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

I'm John Green. You may know me as the author of The Fault and Our Stars, and now I guess also as the co-host of The Away End, a brand new world soccer podcast. I'm Daniel Alarcon, a writer and journalist, and John and I have known each other since we were kids. My first World Cup was Mexico 86. I was nine years old.

I watched every game and I fell in love. On our new podcast, The Away End, we'll share with you the magic of international football, all leading up to the 2026 World Cup. For us, soccer, football, is a story we've shared for over 30 years since Daniel was the star player on our high school soccer team. Very debatable. And I was their most loyal and sometimes only fan. I love this game.

I love its history, its hope, its heartbreak, and above all, it's beauty. Together, we'll find out why, of all the unimportant things, football, soccer, is the most important. Listen to the Away End with Daniel Auerkone and John Green on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Crap, yeah. Drey Mon Green said Kay Cunningham is not going to make the All-MBA team because of the dumb-ass 65 game rule. Dre said it doesn't fix the issue. Like it does not fix the issue at all. And here's a guy that's done everything right.

He has a collapsed lung and he's going to miss the All-MBA team because of this dumb-ass rule. The rule does not fix the issue. issue is just ridiculous. So here we go again with these unintended consequences. Because if you think about it, Joe, making the all-NBA selection, that adds another $50, $75 million. Now, Cade Cunningham is going to miss out. Hey, look, now somebody else will step in. Somebody else going to get a big old contract, Joe. That's how it worked. Yeah. Yeah. It's, hey, hey, it's unfortunate because you had these unforeseen injuries, bro. Yeah.

Like, I've seen the injury and it's like, dang, a collapse long? Like, bro, this basketball, that don't happen. You know what I mean? And it's like now he's going to have to miss out on all these other accolades because it is unfortunate, bro. I ain't going to lie to you. And they put the rule in because they wanted guys to stop all of the rest. Oh, that load management.

you know, they want to, they want to just cut it down, but it's going to hurt some guys who don't load manage. You know what I mean? Like Cade, unfortunately. Yeah, for sure. And you see those guys, you see what it does. It gives Shay was able to get that extra money because he's an all-NBA selection.

Jay Dubb was an all-N-A selection. So you see these guys getting this because they wanted to reward. It's a blessing and a curse. Prior to 19, But prior to 1980, the player selected the MVP and the all NBA team. Yeah.

But they're like, man, y'all be tripping. I don't like you, so I ain't voting for you. So they put it, they gave it to the writers. But now the writers have so much control. They get to determine who's going to get these two, three, four hundred million dollar contracts. Whether you like it or not. Yeah.

That's crazy. Oh, Cho, it's been like that in football. They select the all pro teams. They select the all pro teams. Damn. At least the Pro Bowl is kind of divided up. You got the fan vote. You got the players vote.

And then you got, you know, you got the coaches, general manager, whatever the case may be. So it's the three-tier system. But all pro, it's all writers. The NBA, all NBA selection, all defensive selection, it is what it is. Mm. So there is no perfect answer.

Because if you. You don't think players are biased. You're fooling yourself because they're human. Right. Guys vote for the Pro Bowl. Guys vote for your bro. I'm like, bro, how you, bro? Really?

Really? That's why they took it out. I mean, look, I know, but I took it serious because I know, look, because I want guys to be rewarded for their work, Coach. And it might be, it might just be this one year that he, he had an out-of-body experience and he deserved to go to the Pro Bowl. But you want to put somebody in there

that's going, he had already gone five, six times. But he didn't deserve it. Yeah, and nothing they can do about that rule, huh? It's too late. They voted on it. Yeah. They voted on it. They said 65 games.

That's, that's messed up. I mean, listen, they're 65 games for those so they don't pull load management. There should be some type of, some type of grace period for those that are actually, that are actually getting injured. Right. Like injured for real, where it doesn't affect them the same.

I mean, how did, I mean, collapsed lungs. So what did he do? Was he in a car crash? Nah. He got, didn't he get knee, Joe? Did he get knee? Yeah, he got knee onke in his side, like during the game, going for the ball.

But he stayed in the game. It wasn't like, it didn't look like nothing major. But you could see him, he kept reaching like this, like he was tight, like he said, something was wrong, and he went to the side. and they take him to the back and he, you know,

just a regular routine play, bro. It takes a tremendous force to collapse along because that's why you got ribs there. Yeah, he need him. He need him right down there, yeah. The Razor Banks back at work later today, baby. Whoopi.

Yeah, I got you. I got you. Joe, I got you. I got you. Yeah. Hopefully they don't have to put no run no tube down and inflate it. Maybe with some just rest, it'll inflate back on on. Damn. But we've all had the aeronaut data so. That's why you got to be so lucky, bro, to win, man.

Because it's like everything could be going great. You could be having a hell of a season. And something like this happened, Arcan Ocho. Yeah. It seemed like it may be nagging, too. I can't see how it wouldn't be a nagging, how it wouldn't linger. It says chest injuries, blunt force trauma like a car accident.

or sports collisions penetrating trauma gunshot stab wounds can break ribs or puncture the lung directly small air blisters called bleaves can uh form on the top of the lungs and burst allowing air air to escape the chest cavities this often happens without warning particularly in a tall thin people so you guys are more susceptible because you're tall and thin Oh, all this coming in there. Ocho, what did you over the door? Hey, he said thin. He's talking to you, Joe.

He ain't talking to me. You ain't thin? Man, Joe, I'm every better 220 right now, Joe. Hey, you see how I'm feeling out of this jacket, huh? Hey, you got to chill. Oh, Joe, Joe, Cade missing time could potentially open the door for Jane Duren to make an all-NBA team making him eligible

for the five-year $288.8 million. Ooh. Mm-hmm. So look, look, look, look. See, it helps somebody, help your teammate. Hey, Kate already got by what? He got by 260. He's the signed by 260.

What did Kaye signed for? But see, here's the thing, no, Joe. I'm trying to get me two more all-N-B-A selection. So guess what? When that contract come up again? Pooh-boo. Supermax again. 300.

Well, that's out, that, I ain't going to say it's out of the picture, but you didn't have your home. Yeah, five years 269. Yeah, yeah. Five years, 269. That's just, ugh. That's filthy.

That's good work, yeah, boy. That's good work. That's filthy. It's filthy. Kevin Durand is 26 points away from passing Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list. Obviously, LeBron James is number one at 43,229. Kareem is next at 38,387, followed by Carl Malone at 36,928.

Kobe Bryant is number four at 33,643. Michael Jordan is currently in the number five spot at 32,2,292, followed by Kevin Durant, Dirk Noviceky, Wilk Chamberlain, James Hardin, should be the next player that break into the 30,000. club. Shaq rounds out the top 10 with 28,596. Hey, congrats to Katie. Crazy. Oh, yeah. That's impressive. I mean, y'all know MJ, my idol to be able to pass him.

I'm sure that'll be a hell of a defeat for Katie. I'm happy for him. He's one of the best scores ever played this game. Super elite, super efficient. I enjoy watching them play. They beat my Hawks tonight. No, no, no, no, no, no, they blew the Hawks out of Joe. They broke eye street. They got, they got at us. They got at us.

They got a little. They got out. They were Reed Shepard block old boy, a boy dunk, Joe. It went down here to herd from there. Hey, Reed Shepard. Hey, he can play. Yeah, yeah, oh, sure. Yeah.

Yeah, I like, I like, he go out there. He compete, he compete. Hey, him, a con can'teple, a, uh, Gillespie from, uh, Phoenix. Yes, uh, Hey, ballers. They're getting at it. Yeah. Them boys hooper.

Yeah. I mean, that's a lot of points. But, you know, in order to hit, in order they reach those milestones, you got to be available too, aren't? Yeah. I agree, Ocho. He couldn't fly. He probably, he was so peed off about the two games against the Lakers, he had to take it out on none. Yeah.

because you can't fly. Normally they leave you, they normally leave you overnight in the hospital. Zakey took a car service back to Detroit because when you fly, you can't fly with a collapsed lung. Yeah, you can't fly.

No, no, no, no. But they normally leave you overnight and then, you know. But man, KD, doing this, man, look, the efficiency in which he does it, um, it's crazy. It is, well. It's a beauty to watch, though.

But you got, guys, I mean, you guys talking about what he did in this amount of time. You got to realize, look at the amount of shots that he took. It's shots. You're talking about years. I'm talking about shots. Oh, Joe, if somebody, if a quarterback throws the ball five, let's just say for the sake of argument, quarterback throws the ball 50 times a game.

He should have the most passing yards at the end of the year, right? Absolutely. Absolutely. Throwing 50 a game, yeah. Jordan was. taking 25, 26 shots a game. So what are you talking about? That's not the diminishing,

but I'm saying y'all try to diminish somebody because y'all said, well, he did it in this amount of time. But even though the amount of times, look how many shots he's record. Look how few fewer shots that he had. KD's shooting 52, 53% from the floor. Amazing. It doesn't take away any.

Somebody passing an all-time grade. It doesn't take away from the grate that they're passing. Because he did that. You cannot take six titles. You can't take five MVPs. You can't take 10 scoring titles. You can't take the all NBA selections and you can't take the six final MVP's. But if you are an athlete and you pass somebody that's this story.

Right. Bro, that's why you hear him say, bro. My name's going to be in this list. Yeah. Yeah. they got a celebrate it. Yes. We got to celebrate them,

especially when you hit a milestone like that. No matter how you feel about Katie, whether you don't like him personally, where you don't like his game, top five, whatever it may be. You got to celebrate, you know, someone doing something like that.

And it's okay. I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, whatever I do,

it does not take away from what I, did what John Mackie, what Dicker, what Big Kellan did. What Gronk has done, what Gates, what Neff Kelsey is done, uh, uh, Whitten. That don't take away from me. I did what I did.

Congratulations to those guys. I don't feel like, man, do you feel, no, I got everything out of my career I could get. That's what, that's what, that's what my numbers were intended to be. That so them breaking past to me and I was, I was, I was number one. Hell, I don't know where I'm now. Gelsie's passed me, witness passed me,

Gates has passed me, Gonzo has passed me. Hell, somebody else's about to pass me pretty soon. That's okay. You know, I don't feel any less because these guys are passing me about my career. And I don't think anybody should feel, man. Man, them joke, don't pass me, man,

what people are gonna say, huh? Yeah. Kareem, like, people didn't think nobody could get this record, because big, only bigs played that long. Because they were the ones that didn't have, you know, hey, go back and look at Kareem. A, Kareem get rebound, kicked that thing.

Amble down the coat. Yeah. Give it to me magic. Yeah. But for a guard, a guy that, like LeBron, to have the ball that length of time and to play that long, that's why nobody thought because what, thank you about what you have to do.

LeBron had the average 25 points a game for 20 years. For 20. People don't understand how insane that is. So when you look at Brady and look at the records, I mean, think about how long you're going to have to play just to break his passing record, his touchdowns record. Yeah, yeah, you're going to be able to, it's going to be, hey, they're going to go into 17 games, and they're going to go eventually going to get to an 18 game.

So, Ocho, so when you think about it, a guy played 15 years, That's basically two seasons right there of games. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Mm. So when you look at a guy play, guy play 15,

play, you know, 17 seasons, he's going to end up playing basically three more seasons. So now the number is going to be skewed, but it don't take away anything, guys. It doesn't. No, no. Hey, but I think, I think LeBron going to continue to play guys, because he won't put this out of reach.

He does. Yeah. He may not never come out and say it, but I promise you, he won't put this out of reach. I told somebody I think he's going to play 25 seasons. Do you really? You heard Kevin the Rand.

If he really won't, that's up to him. But he can play another four or five years. He can play until he's 45. Yeah. I think it's just more of the demanding on the body if you want to continue to have to go through

them, you know, them tough workouts or continue. And Joe, do you still want to put that time? It's easy to put that in when you're making $55 million. Do you want to put that same kind of time in when you're making a million, $1, $2 million, $3 million, or the minimum? A mid-level exception? Do you still want to do that deal, though, Joe?

And if them endorsement is right, I'm sure he will. He got that on lock. That ain't going to way. That ain't going to way. You know, he got the Nike deal. He has other stuff going on. So he's going to have money coming in. He got a lifetime contract.

with Nike. That's probably playing them $25, $30 million a year. For long as he's breathing. Hey, hey, and I've been seeing him in his golf bag too, he picked that up. He picked that up. I guess he's like, you know what? Hey, and when you hit the road,

he picked up a little late. He probably should get on that thing like Steph did way, way early. But the thing is with golf is that you've got to play it so much to really get good at it. It ain't something that you can do it down and like, okay, I pick it back. back up in two weeks, three weeks.

You gotta be obsessed with it. And it takes years, Joe, you know? It take years are good at it, especially if it's not your respective craft. But, hey, hey, Joe. Them dudes be, hey, my homies be at the golf course, bro. Eight hours, okay, oh, Joe. Out of the day.

You got to. Eight hours, bro. You got to. And it takes guys, if you look at the guys that are good, it got guys that don't have this. You look at the guy, the quarterbacks don't develop their shoulders. Yeah. You look at the basketball players.

You look at the baseball player. You look at the guys that don't develop their shoulders because you got to be fluid. Mm. I'm too tight. I only go go back so far. And you got to be able to be loose through here, man. You need, you need, you don't need no abs, you need a little gut. Yeah, yeah.

It's all in the hell. You need, that's what you need. But man, this is an amazing accomplishment, man, to see Kevin the Red. I bet you if you'd ask KD, you know, he's like his goal, I want to play in the NBA, blah, blah, blah. It's like, but when you retire, you're gonna be in the top, you're gonna be top five score.

Man, what? And the history of the game? Right. And you see those great names that's up there. And you start from zero. Yeah. Man, because when you first started playing the game, Ocho,

You just want to show you belong, bro. You ain't thinking about, oh, man, I'm going to try to be a top 10 score in the NBA. Right. You just want to show you belong. And then as the journey continues, you know, you start to receive all these different accolades. And he's like, hold on. Now he ain't reached. He's going to pass MJ.

Oh, man, come on. It's like some things like when you just say MJ or you were in a conversation with, man, you tie Wilk, Wilt, MJ. What? That's great. It's like if you're a quarterback and you did something, you up there with Brady, you up there with Manning. Like, damn. Okay.

Yeah. When somebody said Mike Kevin's got 11 consecutive thousand yards season, he tied Jerry Rice. Who? Jerry. Lord, have mercy. But KD, congratulations, bro. SGA says Lucha and Yokic fans don't complain about free throws

when their favorite players get called. But you'll never hear an OKC fan complain about my free throws. Y'all never hear Denver fans complain about Yokech free throws. You'll never hear Laker fans complain about Luca free throws. It's just part of the game. SGA, you're doing something right when fans start to complain. Everybody in the history of the NBA has an art where everyone loves and then everyone hates them. LeBron was hated and look what he's done for the game. It's part of the game. I love it. It's stuff I dreamed about as a kid. And you're right. Absolutely right. I think the only guy.

I don't think, look, we don't have media, we didn't have social media, so there's no way to defendantly tell. But it's hard for me to believe that magic and Bird and Jordan was ever disliked to this level. Now maybe in their prospective cities, Boston hated Magic Johnson. Laker fans hated Larry Bird. Nick's fan hated, hey, so we understand that.

But for the totality of it, nah, no. And like I said, we can't defend it. We didn't have no, Ocho, because we didn't have social media. So it would have been interesting to see if we can chart it. It just so happens to now we can chart it. We can see who gets the most negative, you know, stuff on social media and it's been LeBron James, like 10, 15 years running. Yeah.

Hey, when you're great, bro, when you're great, they're coming at you, man. Come into territory. I don't care what it is. Just like what she was saying about the foul thing, they're talking about he'd be foul baiting and all that. Right. I don't think of that. Well, I think, I just think he knows how to manipulate the game

to where he can get to what he want. He can get his 30 plus points a night. He knows you can't stop it. Now, he may be shooting, you know, a high rate as far as free throws, but he got plenty of game. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

So they acting like he can't average 30 points a night from the free throw line. Y'all better stop. Yeah. Yeah. Man, shooting 50 plus percent from the damn floor. Do you know how many guards have actually shot that well from the floor and scored 30 points?

It ain't been a minute, bro. Okay, I'll cut it off for you. Jordan. That's it. That's it. Score 30 and shoot 50% from the floor. Jordan. Michael, J. Jordan, Mike, MJ,

whatever you want to call. Eardness. That's it. To score that many points and to shoot that high percentage from the damn floor? Yeah. Come on, man.

You got to have your mind made up when you coming through the game every night. I don't get what you. doing he doing something right he'll be back to back MVP's that speaks ball they're gonna hate him even more they're gonna hate him even more oh yeah but everybody everybody have that run you know James Harden had that run where he was shooting a bunch of free throws Joel and Bede had that run where he was shutting to shooting a bunch of free throws yeah yeah they got damn James should be killing that thing well that got damn step

back Joe. Hey, he had, oh. Hey, he'd be looking like he's traveling, but he's not. He got a lot of that I'm telling you when you left-handed, I really feel like you got an advantage. Yeah, man, it's something like the left-it, man. They see you craft as hell. Yeah, they are, bro. The fact that James left-handed can shoot, can get by his man, he got an in-between game, he can get all the way to the bucket.

When he left OKC, bro, he was thriving. It's just like Manu. You remember how crafted Manu was like that? Yeah. Man, that left hand. It's something about a lefty, man. Couldn't stop it. Couldn't stop it.

Crazy craftiness. Oh, the Indiana Pacers would reportedly, reportedly consider drafting Camboozer number and overall, knowing in the NBA that I've consulted project, any sort of dramatic ball, either Peterson or Boozer. When it comes to Boozer, in fact, there are a sentiment among some rival teams that the Duke star would be Indiana's prefer. I'm Luke Wilson. Join me each week for Film Never Lies.

Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age? What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a 2023 event called Wagageddon change the paddock forever? That day is just seared into my memory.

I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on no grip, a Formula One Culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport. In each episode, a different guests and I will go deeper into the wacky mishap, scandals and sagas, both on the track and far away from it, that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to no grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Marsh Madness is here, and if you're trying to keep up with everything happening on and off the court, we've got you covered on the podcast, flagrant and funny.

You look at the top four number one seeds. What do you think UCLA is going to do? down that for me, my friend. I do think UCLA has a really good chance of getting back to the final four. Obviously, Yukon is the overwhelming favorite in this tournament, but I'll be honest, I think people are kind of sleeping on Texas. Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to Yukon and that right after that would be Texas. S&C is so deep and so thinking just about everything. It really is annoying. So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, not LSU.

Only ones that could possibly upset Yukon. On flagrant and funny, we're giving our unfiltered takes on the biggest moments the conversations everyone's having. So whether your bracket is busted or you just want the latest

On our new podcast, The Away End, we'll share with you the magic of international football, all leading up to the 2026 World Cup. For us, soccer, football, is a story we've shared for over 30 years since Daniel was the star player on our high school soccer team. Very debatable. And I was their most loyal and sometimes only fan.

Even if the Pacers were to come away with the number one overall pick, because of the potential fit alongside Pascal Seacum and newly required Ibiza Zubat. Joe?

Hey, I think he would fit. I actually think Booze would fit great with Indiana. I ain't going to lie to y'all. I just don't know if they're going to get the number one pick. But I can see him playing alongside Zubok, though. Yeah. A good stretch, a good stretch four. Yeah.

You know what I mean? He can shoot the three. I just don't post up a little bit. I just, I look, I think he's phenomenal. And there's a great chance he's going to be player of the year. But I don't know if I can take him over a. Jake DeBanza. I just see too much upside, Joe. No, I agree.

You don't see the upside with Booza, though? You don't see the upside with Booza? But this kid here. Different. Yeah, man. Because he's going to have a ball. Six-Nine with the ball. Yeah.

Sheet with the ball. Luca with the ball. Cade with the ball. Ant-Man with the ball. Yeah. See, it's different when you've got the ball. He's going to have the ball. I want to see these guys.

Yeah, I want to see these guys get into a situation where they can really flourish, though. Yeah. You know, I want, I want them, I want, because I think these guys can be special. Some of these, some of his talent coming into the NBA this year that's going to be in this year's draft. It's a special talent, man, but I don't want to, I don't want to see them, honestly, coming off the bench being this spark plug, man. Yeah, I just think, I think, Utah, Utah, Prays, being. There are a lot of people praying in Utah right now that they get that number one pick

and get DeBonza. Because if you start getting that pick, they take an AJ DeBonza. They're not taking Pizzer. Oh, no doubt about it. They're not taking Cam. Yeah. They're not taking A.J. DeBonza.

No doubt about it. No doubt about it. I just feel like they're going to get it too. What's up? Hey, Joe, y'all don't, y'all don't think, is DeBonza that much better than Peterson? I think he better than... I think he's, I think at 6-9.

He'll bucket. Everybody keep talking about Peters in the bucket. DeBonsa bucket. Yeah. And not only that, DeBonska, AJ, he just seems like he loved playing the game. Like he really, he thoroughly enjoys it. And that goes a long way with me, Ocho.

You know what I mean? I like gym rats. I'm a gym rat. I like to be in the gym. Whether it's by myself working on my game, where I like guys who like to stay in the gym. Right. Yeah.

When dealing with that number one, and pick, Ocho, you know what it is, the least amount of red flags. I can't, I can't be worried. I can't, Ocho, because as a general manager of an owner, I'm going to want to turn my phone off at night. I don't want the coaches to have to tell me that he's not going to play he'll nick. I just can't worry about stuff like that because in basketball, I mean,

even in football now at the quarterback spot, Ocho, you know in three years, you'll have to make a big old contribution. You're going to have to make a big old financial commitment. In basketball, you're going to have to make a big old financial commitment. I want to be able to make that commitment with the least amount of worries

as I possibly can have. Yeah. That's just me. I think DeBonza, I think DeBonzo will be the better player. I think he's the safer. And I hate it because safe, like, oh, no, no, no. I'm saying he's safe and he's really good.

Yeah. I'm going to tell you who probably going to go high. There ain't nobody really thinking. I think, obviously, I think there is A-Cup can always improve his draft stock. I think he can creep into like maybe a top three pick, Uncle Ocho. I agree with you. But, but Caleb Wilson, who was at the University of North Carolina. He's 16, now.

16 and 16. 16 and 611, Anka-Ocho, he can do everything. Put it on the flow, shoot the three. He's going to defend. You know, he keep receipts because he told y'all throughout the season. He got receipts. And he was going at everybody who, you know, played with him. You feel what I'm saying?

Yeah. So I like that about him. He's gonna compete. He got a lot of talent, bro. He got a lot of upside. That's why I say, if you got a top seven pick in this draft, you can get a good player. Boy, it's the top eight.

It's some talent in this draft, bro. But, you know, it's where you go, who you coach, yes. The veteran players in your locker room that help you. Yeah. Make a huge difference. and not be on some bulljoges, because they envious. Yeah.

Bonsona West Eden says Janice Antigumpur will be traded if he doesn't accept an extension. Yonis is going into his last year of his contract. So one or two things will happen. Either he will be extended or he'll be traded. The likelihood, the likelihood, you'll let him just kind of play it out the last year. We can't afford that. Absolutely. It's not consistent with what they're good for the organization.

And that's not a Yonis issue. That's any player that's in the last year. People around the league believe the bucks missed their window to get peak value for Yonis. And NBA exec said he'll still, he's still a game changer. But he's 31 with a history of leg injuries. And now you probably would basically be traded for a guy on an expiring deal. So I'm not sure the offers they'll get this summer

are going to be any better than what they already got. Damn. Man, please. It's going to be, it's going to, I only take is one team. It's going to be a couple teams lined up. Oh, yeah. You can believe that. Now, I'm going to the best, I'm, I'm, oh, Joe, I'm getting the best deal for me.

Damn, what's the best deal for yon is. Well, well, you got, you're going to have to, your hands are tied because at some point, you're going to have to take, you know, you, you're going to have to take a decent deal. I mean, you, I can't see, I can't see them not, not. not favoring Janus in the situation. I just think, I know, I know, I know, but I'm saying, what I'm saying is they want to get, they want to get some pieces back

that's gonna help them in the near future. Right. Now, I don't know if you're gonna get the value of what Yonis brings. I mean, let's just be honest. No. You gotta get somebody who's going off potential, whether it's one of these young guys

or, you know, multiple picks, but I mean, who, I'm telling y'all what's gonna happen. I'm telling y'all where you're gonna be when they lose. The mere fact, that this owner said he either signs the extension or he's getting traded. Joe, when was the last time

you heard the owner say that? Me personally, I don't know if I've ever heard an owner come out and say that. Yeah, I don't either. So that lets you know, I'm getting max value. He might want to go to Miami. Not as Miami because you know, Miami don't want to give up the compensation.

That's why Cameron and Rand's not down there and that's why some of the other players that's been trade available aren't down there because they try to keep all their best players and ship scraps off to the opposing team. Right. Ain't nobody going for that. This guy, it seems to me,

because Yon has been dealing them around and around and we try to kind of back them into a hole. Now, when this thing first came to light two years ago, I'd have got him up out of there. You got him gone. Yep. I wasn't winning with him. Well?

I wasn't going to win with Yonis. That was over. They had a very special team. They had Holiday. They had Chris Middleton prior to the injuries. Chris Middleton. is not the same guy. He's not even close to the same guy. He's not the All-Star that he once was.

Once you started getting off those pieces, it was over. Well, the problem you're going to have, okay, Joe, is, okay, let's say you do have a team that you want to trade Janus to, but he's not fond of. You think they're going to trade for Janus on an expiring contract, and they know he going to leave, and we just rent him for a few months? That's what I'm saying. the bucks can try to trade him to wherever,

but at the same time, he's still gonna have to sign an extension. Right. You know what I mean? See what he wanted, and I can see, because you know Joe, once they trade you, you can't get that extra fifth year, about 65, 70. Yeah. So now it goes to a five year to a four year.

Yeah. Now, it's still good money. Don't get me wrong, so I want that man, uh, yeah, but 275 versus 200. Yeah, 300 versus 225. 225. Right. 75 million,

that's a big difference. Yeah. 7.5 million. They don't care nothing about that. Nike going to make that up to me. I signed a couple of endorsements. 75 was a whole different ballgame.

Yeah. But did you hear what he said? He said, signed the extension. See, the extension may not be, oh, he ain't trade. If he signed the extension, he's not getting traded.

You say he's not getting traded. Oh, no. What I'm saying, though, I don't think the extension is 275 or 300, though. What's the extension for, you're honest? I think because he still got, what he got on this deal? He still got two years on his deal? Next year. Next year will be his last year, 27.

I think they're going to add to that 27's what I'm saying. I think they're going to add to that last year. Four year 275. He else before, uh... Four year 275. So you add that two, so you add that as a five, 250, or 350, or 350, John. I don't know about you five or three 50. That's 70 a year, Joe.

Yeah, yeah. That good money, right? Good money. That's an understatement. Okay, I'm just saying. You're getting to that money on, huh? Yeah. With all this TV money, all they kicking in?

Yeah. Going up. That's what we're going to start seeing. Dude's making 70 plus me. Oh. Oh, 70, 80. Mm. So I just I don't I don't know where Deakin go that because when you trade Superstar

you're not getting value. You're never going to get the value that you get the player that you're giving up that you're going to get back in return. Now they've been hold on hold on hold on every once in a while you get a Shea situation. They've got maximum value for Shea for what they gave up Paul George. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think OKC won that one.

Yeah. I still don't understand what they were doing there, but. Man, they got in. They ain't seated. They ain't seated. He wasn't doing all this, Ocho. It didn't matter if they saw it. Kauai said, if you don't get me Paul George, I'm going to sign with the Lakers. Could you imagine being in that building as a clipper?

You're already in the basement. Right. You got LeBron, you got A.D, and you got Kauai. You got the Accu-S. I don't know what, the stuff that they signed and these other. companies had and got him on the payroll and all these apartments and I don't know if it it's true I don't care I just know the clippers had to acuess to everything kawai said or they weren't going to get him dang hey look so shay was for nothing you can see but she wasn't

wouldn't be shay if he's with the clippers because kawai's going to get the ball yeah yeah that's why they got rid of Chris paul he has to meet him, he needs them all. Yeah. So you're like, well, I can't believe the Clippers. You weren't, you weren't going to be able to get this out of shade because Kauai is the headliner. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. It's like, it's like a comedian coming and like he going after Chappelle. That ain't happening. That's, you're going in front of Chappelle. That's a good one. That was, I like that analogy. Yeah. Hey, Kauai over there getting two or two.

You think he's going to make an all-N-A team? He's going to be close. How many games did he miss? Is he eligible? I don't know. I don't know. See, I know he averaging about 27, 28 a game. Yeah, he's having a career high as far as points.

And they came back in overtime and beat the Maverick. They'm talking about they ain't playing no defense. Yeah. There's Garland got out. Hey, I see he finally came out 41 and 11. Mm-hmm. I think they're going to make the play. Ku-Kawai had 34.

He was 12 or 20. He was 12 or 22, 5 or 9 from the three-point line, five of five from the free throw line. Mm-hmm. And then he had Darius Garland. He had 41. He was 15 or 24, eight of 12, three or three. Mm.

Kauai got one game of Wiggeroo. If he missed one more game, right? It's a rap, huh? He can't make it. Oh, he's good. He probably got, but like 10, 11 games, love? He got 11 games to play. He commits one more.

Okay. That's why he came back. Remember, he had that ankle injury, Joe. Well, can't. Hey. But you know, Kauai, though, that's normally a month injury for Kauai. That boy came back popping their gun. Quick.

He said, y'all got me bit. Yeah, he see what's going on. All these dudes hurt. ain't going to be eligible for nothing. Kauai going to miss around be second team all NBA. Could be. Yeah.

Because it's going to be, man, it's going to be Topsie Turby who gets the first team because you got a lot of willing, a lot of Luca. Kate is out now. Kate is out of the running.

Oh, man. Then Kaye going to be out of running after he missed these two weeks. Yeah. Because he got time to play. He couldn't miss them more than four. You got, you got K,

you got Wimby, you got, Yokic, you got Shea, you got Luka, and you got Jalen Brown. That's six guys. You got five slots. Cade ain't going to be there because he's going to miss it. Six guys, five slots.

How you got Luka averaging down to 35 points a game and his team is number three. He's going to be there. He's going to be first team, you know. Leading the league and scoring, he's going to be first team. Lead the league and scoring. Yeah. Yeah.

He's going to be first team. This is a career high for him, man. Like 33. That's a career high for him. No, he average 34. I think he averaged 34 one year. Did he? With Dallas?

Yeah. We got wiggle room, so. So how many games they play? So he's out the next two weeks? He ain't going to make it. He ain't going to make it. Who is this? Kay, because he's out two weeks.

He can only miss what, four or five games? He can miss eight more games. Eight. How many games they play in the next two weeks? Eight. He better wrap that thing up and get on that there. Because Lucas averaging 33. I think Lucas career high is like 33.9, maybe 34, Joe.

Hmm. That joke, but that boy bawling, boy. Yeah. I'm talking about Adela is smacking. How do you leave Yokic off? He's leading the league and assists and rebounds. You ain't going to leave him off. And he got averaging 29 a game.

Wimby. You ain't going to leave Wimby off. Jalen Brown. He has his team. in the number two slot, a large part of this without Jason Tatum. Well, obviously not leaving Shay because his team is the best, and they're on 11-game winning streak,

and they have the best record. So basically it's gonna come down between Kade and Luca. Mm. It's gonna be a good one. Yeah. It's gonna be very, very interesting. But I can see KD play in another four or five years though. Oh, easy.

He doesn't have a weight problem. He can shoot the ball. That's not going anywhere. Yeah. And he loves playing the game. He loves playing the game. He loves playing the game. That's what makes the biggest difference.

Get them gym rats. He's a gym rat. He's always in a gym. Always working on this craft. You got to love guys like that, bro. Well, that's the only way you can play that long. You can't play that long if you... Ain't no way you can do something for an extended period of time

that you don't love. Oh, Joe, you hear people on the regular job. They stand a job 30 years, 40 years, 50 years. They ain't staying there just because they get the paycheck, not on one job. Right. You got to love it. Yeah.

To stay somewhere 30, 40, 50 years? You got you got to. You ain't got no choice. Man, please. Hey, hey, let's get down the nut cutting time now, fellow. Luca averaging 33.4 points a game. Damn. His career high is 30% of time.

33.9. Since his rookie year, he's never average fewer than 27 and 27.7. So he went 21.2, 21.2, 28.8, 27.7, 28.4, 32.4, 32.9. 28.1. 28. Yeah. Dang. 33.3.4.

Hey. They say what they want about old Luca Luca. Look, I did get it done, boy. But see, let me ask your question. When James Hardin was in Houston putting up all them points. With James Hardin playing defense, Joe, you play with it. No, no, no, no. Don't nobody say anything about, when Steph,

Steph was winning on MVP. Steph wasn't sitting in the chair guard, nobody. I look, he's doing a lot better job. He's trying. He's not getting beat off the first dribble. Because once you get beat off the first dribble, Joe, you compromise. The entire defense is not.

compromise because we got to rally. Yeah. To get in front of him. And so we got to, people got to come. Hey, kick, drop a dish off, lob. Now you're at the team's mercy. Hey, hey, Uncle Joe, he's not getting beat off the first dribble, but he getting beat off the second.

That's okay. That's okay. That's okay. I think people, he got the OLA defense to where, you know, he don't slide them puppies no more than once. Yeah. But, you know, at the same time, I think what's really glaring is that the complaining to the refs are kind of Ocho.

Yes. If he don't do that, I think he would be in a much better, you know, spot. He can't help it, Joe. He can't help it. It's a part of him. It's a part of him. He can't help it. Once you've been doing something that long, unk, it's hard to get him habits.

Even if he made. makes the shot. Even when he gets foul, he's still at the free throw line complaining. I'm like, bro, if you had the free throw line, what more you won't. Yeah. Because it don't help you, bro. The rest, remember that. They're human now. Oh, yeah. They're going to get tight with their whistle.

Especially depending on what you're saying, too. Man, what? No, I promise you, he's speaking all Slovenian when he talking to the, when he talking reckless, he's speaking Slovenian. He ain't speaking to English. Hold on. How do he get to take the night? see how he got to tick after the dude said something to him.

Yeah, they were drawing back and forth. And he gave both of them a tick. He told him to cut it out. He kept going. Mm-hmm. But everybody would be wanting MVP to be David Robinson or Kobe or Elijah Juan, Jordan,

LeBron. Come on, man. Yeah. Yoke, I get a prime example. Wouldn't have anybody ever said, man, Yogi played an outstanding defense? No. He got three of them things. They've finished second.

a couple of times. Ain't nobody, ain't, we ain't hearing no, when Jokke is you winning, all we talking about the triple double. Come on now. Yeah. I, look, I ain't saying Lucas ever gonna be,

he ain't gonna never ever be an all defensive player. But I tell you what, you better be able to, you better have somebody that can match you the output. Right. Because he's gonna get 30 to 40. Yeah. Yeah. And you, and if he get it going to go.

going early and you can't turn that faucet off, he gonna get 50. You gonna be in here. And you like this LeBron you've been seeing. I do. I mean, sometimes it's like, damn, bro. I mean, he's bought into this role. Yeah.

He's bought it. He jumped on this, this role with both feet. And it's not easy, because we've seen other great players that couldn't adapt. Yeah. Yeah. We saw this with.

A.I. He couldn't. He went to Detroit. He, he needed, went to Memphis. He couldn't, he couldn't do it. It's hard. Think about how long you've been to God, Joe. You've been the guy in high school, you've been the guy in college. You've been the guy for 15, 16 years in the NFL, I mean, NBA. Right. So you're talking about 15 years in the NBA, three, four years of high school. That's 18, 19 years, and another one, two, three years in college. And now they say, nah, bro. And for LeBron, think about it, LeBron has been the guy all his high school career

and basically until last year. So for 21 years, and they say, nah, bro, now, we don't need you to go to two. Yeah. We need you to go to three. Yeah. Mm.

I just, I think, I think naturally, I think taking upon himself, I think he's really winning to this role. I don't think nobody came to him and told him that you're going to be a third option. I think he's kind of assessed the game in the way these dudes been playing from the start because he missed so many games to start the season. I think he just came in and took that role because he probably like, man, I don't want to mess up the chemistry that's going on, the winning that we're doing.

I'm just going to add to it. Yeah. I ain't going to lie to you. I kind of like this, bro. I do like this, Brian, obviously, when he got it going, but just, Just 13 attempts. I got an Ocho. I mean, it's career low.

Yeah, I mean, it's career low, but you got to understand, because Luke is playing so well, because Austin Reeves is playing so well. Hell, LeBron might even like that. He might like being the third option because he is 41, because of his age, not having the ball in his hands,

knowing when to assert himself in the games and when not to. Shoot, that sounds like a good role to me, especially at that age. He definitely can play a couple of more years playing this role, Joe. Yeah? He definitely can play a couple more year

and play in this role. I can really see LeBron playing 25 seasons. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he had 23 now, for sure. 23. Yeah. I can see it too.

And somebody want to break, get 45,000 points. Mm-hmm. Oh, well. Yeah, because he's going to put, he's putting that out of mid, out your misery. He only wants y'all coming into the NBA thinking

you're going to catch this here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. how many Kevin Durant points Kevin Durant points Kevin Rand had scored this year how many total points A D

I ain't on lie I kind of wanted to see Brun and Katie or Brun and stuff kind of team up yeah for they let a part of their years for at least two years

so so there's a chance he might get 2,000 and where he is now how many points he is now he got one thousand He's got 1,723 right now. How many games do they have left?

10. They got 12 games left. So basically if he averages, if he average what he's averaging, which is about 26, right? He had 25.7. So with 12 games to go, that's about 10, 250.

So he's looking at about 300 points, about 305. So that's given 2,000. If LeBron doesn't play another down, another game and he plays another five years, he's probably still going to be about a thousand, a thousand points short. So if LeBron plays another year, another two years,

Katie's going to have to play another seven years. KD's in year what? Year 19. Year 18, I mean, he's 19 season, but because he missed a year for that thing, it's only like 18 on his body. Mm. So I think KD has the most realistic chance.

You think he got a chance of catching? I do. That's going to be a tall task on. Oh, it is now, yes. But that's at the current pace. He's got to play the same number of games. He got to keep this average up. That's the thing.

So how many games we played this year? 70? 60. No, he didn't play 70. He didn't play it all of them. He's played in 67 games. So if he played the last, if he played the last 12,

he's going to play in 79. Mm. He gonna play race too tight. Can't sit out. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He can't afford to lose any game. He can't afford to lose any games. Almond Thompson saved Kevin Iran.

Historic night. Armand Thompson hit the game winning putback for the Rockets. And the same night, KD passed Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list. Rockets beat the heat, 123, 122. After the game, KD.C. Will a smile. Four more to go. Hey, I don't know.

One more what to go? Who he go past that? Kobe. Woo, he got to be a long time to pass. Who? He needs about 260 games to get to Cream. 260, that's playing 80 games for the next three years. Who the next person he's about to pass?

Kobe, ain't it? I think Kobe. Yeah. Kobe got, probably got like 33,000. Who the boy? Boy, he's shooting that rock, boy. Why? Man, listen.

It's, it's, LeBron, Corrine, Carmelone. Kobe. Kobe. Now, KD. Yeah. I mean, KD got 32,000. He's 11,000 behind LeBron.

Yeah, he ain't catching him. He ain't, he ain't, he can't, he can't bring. That's an amazing feat, boy. Well, well deserved. Now, you see Maude Thompson had 18 rebounds? Yeah, that's a lot of. that rebound for a guard. Man.

A ball bouncing right to it. 24, 18, and 4. Ball bouncing right to me, ma'am. Reeveford had 23 and 14 assists. Damn. Man, who they played, Miami? Miami. Hey, why y'all bull-jabbing?

Ever since, A, A, A, A, A, A, A-E-E-3-Bam been played out of the damn mind. Ain't a man. Bamb had 32 and 20. Yeah. Damn been doing this thing. I got-

Hey, hey. I got Miami making some real change this summer though. There we go. Talk your talk, Joe. I got to make some real change. I got to make some real change. This good that the hero playing well, because I got to, I think he's going to be a part of it. Yeah, as long as you know, I remember I told you first.

Huh? Yeah, yeah. Y'all got to get a, y'all need another game change over that, Ojo. I ain't going to even say who, but y'all need another game change. Hey, Joe, I know what you're thinking and I already said it for you. for you. Okay. Huh? Okay. Okay. Stay with me, now. Yeah. I got you. Yeah. It's,

man, look here. Man, hey, hey, bam, been playing some ball, man. Every since, hey, Asia came into his life. Hey, he's been trying to keep up. Oh, he, he, hey, hey. Well, he ain't going to catch you as far as accolades. He can forget that. Yeah. Hey, that ship does sell. Ah!

He can forget that. Hey. You talk about, hey, she, hey, she, hey, when she does, I think she's got the great case right now to be the goat woman's college, the woman's basketball player. Yeah, yeah, he ain't got no chance to catch it her with all those MVP's, finals MVP's,

defensive player of the year, a national champion, college player of the year. Yeah, that's over. Yeah. Hey, hey, I can see, I can see in the near future, like in the next of my months. It's strange. I can see, bam,

getting engaged. I can see him getting mad. Yeah, I see it. I see it. I see it. Man, they're a great couple, man. Hey, I let, there's nothing, there's nothing not to like about them.

Right, I agree. There ain't nothing to like about them. Bam, no bother nobody. He'd go out there play hard. If you follow this story, grew up in North Carolina in a single trailer home, he'd see, hearing his mom, blah, all that. And in Asia, we know, hey, boom,

big man, look here. And she is, I've seen a play, like I said, I mean, watching her play on television, don't do her justice. Shh. Don't do her justice, because she plays both ends of the court. Yeah, she's nice. Well, they're gonna, hey, they gonna have a LeBron.

They gonna have a, ooh. She goes that, hold on a old, oh, you know, I'm on a super max contract now, 1.4 a year. Let's hold on, baby. Hey, be 30 yet, we got tied. Right, right. How old is age, is she ain't 30 yet? Oh, I think she might be, she might be,
