Also check this out rich paul reportedly quashed talks of lebron trade to the warriors this story is making its rounds today according to mark stein it was paul who put the kibosh on a tentative trade discussion between the lakers and the golden state warriors surrounding lebron last season it is believed that the lakers would have reluctantly entertained a trade conversation with the Warriors before February trade deadline if LeBron wanted

them to seriously engage Golden State on a potential deal. Yet league sources say that the reported talks between the teams at the time never got far, a large part because LeBron's agent, Rich Paul, was adamantly opposed to the idea of LeBron swapping Southern California to Northern California. Sources say Rich Paul implored both teams to scrap the concept, largely because he wanted to insulate LeBron from the potential backlash over switching teams for the fourth time in his career. You think that's true?

I don't think Brad was going nowhere anyway. You got your rings already. No reason to go team up with Steph. You said when he played in the Olympics? Can you imagine him in the regular seats in the NBA? It wouldn't be fair.

It wouldn't be no difference than Steph and goddamn KD and goddamn Draymond and Klay. That wouldn't be fair. Well, they had it for three years, so. Yeah, that wouldn't be fair. There was really no need at that point in your career to even make a change like that. Your legacy is already solidified. Everything you've done and accomplished to this point you might as well just go right off into the sunset out there in la you know and do

the best you can and then what you wanted to happen anyway would just happen just now is being able to play with your son that might not have came into fruition if you had made that choice to go to the Warriors. Everything fits perfect. Bronny was at USC. Everything. You couldn't write a better story with a better ending. And the story's not even over because I guarantee you, I think LeBron is going to play with Bryce as well. Mark my words.

I can feel it. Bryce is a junior this year? Yeah so a senior? Yeah, and one more after that 22 this year, 23 freshman, 25 that's too long no

this is LeBron's 22nd season this year Bryce is a junior his 23rd season Bryce will be a senior his 24th season, Bryce will be a senior. His 24th season, Bryce will be a freshman in college. His 25th season, Bryce is coming to the NBA.

Damn. You know what LeBron might do? What is that? Retire, take a year off, and come back when Bryce is a player. I think a lot of things will be contingent on this team in Vegas. That's what he's eyeing. Yeah.

I wonder if you think, hey, I can get me another job. Because if LeBron gets a team in Vegas and he's in a position of power, he could hire me to do something. I don't know what it would be, but I just want to add it to my resume and diversify my portfolio based on things that I've done and accomplished. What'd you think about that? No. What are you going to do? That's why I don't know. I don't know. I'm improving in that area when it comes to the game of basketball.

To do what? You going to coach? No, hell no. I ain't coaching. Hell no. Okay, so I'm... When a boy talk crazy to me, man, I don't want to coach.

So I'm just trying to figure out what you're going to do. I don't know. There's so many different roles that they have. Okay, well, name one. name one role that you could play that you could do on an NBA team. Financial advisor.

Oh, okay. That's about the best one. I'm just being honest. As a matter matter of fact that's one that i'm i'm really good at even though i play around and make jokes yeah financial advisor telling you what to do with all your goddamn money not spending on these goddamn women oh joe yes sir that's not the issue is telling is getting them to listen oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, how many times do you, how many stories, where are they now? Right.

God lost all his money. The stats, NBA players, NFL players, MLB players being broke, being divorced, being this or that. They know. But at the end of the day, it's hard to tell a man that's making that money what to do with that money i don't think they understand that should go fast but i don't care what the numbers look

like when they come across that tick on espn that should go fast boy you got you one or two or three high-end type women you know that require a certain, uh, stipend, uh, certain allowance, trying to live a, portray a certain lifestyle that you have to maintain and keep up in order to have access to them. Oh, that should go fast, but I'm telling you it'd be pretty, it'd be pretty when it's rolling in and you plan, you know, your injury away now, your injury away. And I can, I can, I can provide NBA players with statistics and a PowerPoint presentation to give them a better idea because sometimes you can hear it and it goes in one ear and out the other.

But when you see it in front of you with examples, sometimes they get through to you. And I only need to touch one or two of them. I ain't got to touch all 15 on the team. Let me get one or two. One or two will understand. I mean, you look at guys like LeBron and you look at Steph

and you look at guys that are worth 500 and 700 and LeBron is a billionaire and you see these guys are like, bro. And, you know, you got an endorsement deal. I mean, LeBron is doing 80, 80 million dollars off the court. Away from the court. Not everybody. and you know, you got an endorsement deal. I mean, LeBron is doing 80, $80 million off the court away from the court. Not everybody. It's only,

but maybe four or five. That's like that. Four or five. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. A whole lot. I mean, you probably, you're probably looking at messy, uh, maybe Cristiano Ronaldo. They're not a whole lot of guys in Boppe.

Uh, they're not a whole lot of guys just doing those kind of numbers off the court. Yeah. But. You know, I mean, but when you're looking at LeBron, I mean, he got 24 hours. He got 24 hours security. He got staff. I mean, so it probably I mean, LeBron, it probably take 10 million dollars a year to run to run his household.

Yeah, that's crazy, huh? Yeah, for sure. You got to have, you know, you got 24-hour security, rightfully so. You got to staff cleaning. You got to staff cooking. Listen, it's so funny. Your whole lifestyle has to change. You have to pay for the protection and pray for the convenience in the way you should be living

once you reach that height and that level. That's crazy. Yeah, it's great, but I wouldn't want that life. I mean, the ability to not... I mean, he can't go nowhere.

He ain't going... He ain't going to no movie. You know, he too goddamn tall. Anyway, if you wanted to sneak, you can't even sneak. Like that guy. And you know, I'm such a, I couldn't be that kind of famous. No. I'm too fucking friendly.

No, I don't want to be that kind of famous. I'm too fucking friendly. Man, I'd be out there all goddamn day hugging and talking to people yeah or like Jordan be like Jordan be like Tiger be like Ronaldo and Messi and all these guys like LeBron I can't I'm too goddamn

and I talk too damn much to be they to be their kind of famous yeah hell no yeah yeah I mean it's a financial the financial security that that you know you you taking care of your family but hey we good the little bit of fame we got on show yeah yeah yeah yeah and the money that god has blessed us with we good all right yeah we hey hold on now we ain't no stragglers now.

Oh, no. Hell no. We known... Listen, them Asian folk knew you in that goddamn nail salon, huh? They did. They did.

They did. Don't forget that, man. Hell, listen. I went to the World Cup, man. I went to the World Cup of Fox. And I had some folks from different countries that ain't got nothing

that don't know nothing about no NFL. I ain't played football in 12 years. But you know, they knew who La Shorty was sometime,

you know, some places I went. That felt good. That felt as real. Yeah. Oh, yeah, for sure. You know, being in... We way out here in the car.

I didn't know you... Well, you know, your boy did his thing back in the day, man. Being in France and to hear people say, Unc? Yeah.

Boy, yo. Ash looking at me, I'm looking at her, did he just say Unc? Yeah. I'm like, yeah. I mean,

it was, I mean, Club Shea Shea and they know and Nightcap and kent williams i'm like wow but you you you surprised right i mean but i still introduce myself because like last night was a perfect example ocho yeah when i was named nicola yokich yannis and lu Luca and Noah, like, I'm sorry, but I only know who that is. You know what? He probably really don't know who he is.

But if you was to ask Jokic who Noah Lyles is, shit, he wouldn't know who Noah is either. Exactly. He wouldn't know. That's why I always introduce myself. Right. Because my ego isn't big enough to assume. Right. As you always like they know who you are i said i can't because i ain't it's a i'm shannon sharp that's jealous yeah

i like to be like i'm pretty sure they know who you are now you you can't assume that right but yeah i mean uh i was surprised that he didn't know i'm not you know i wouldn't i wouldn't ask him about the eight on the bench i don't watch no basketball like that no i don't even look like the type of person that really watched basketball probably not nah he he's in his own little world he He tracked. I think he like, what is that? Anime? What is that? He in anime? Because he said something about some cutting edges or something. Now see,

you asked me something about some anime. I'm like, you talking about anime or anime? Yeah. I only know one. Anime. Unless you talking about... Hey, man. It's hot as hell in this motherfucker, boy.

I don't know what's going on. I'm cool now. You know, I'm cool now. You see? I'm cool now. I don't know. I think I did something wrong with the AC. I don't know.

Downstairs, it's on 65 and it's cold as hell. But up here, it's broken. So on the thermostat, it say 86. I'm up cold as hell. But up here, it's broken so on the thermostat, it says 86. I'm up here cooking. I mean, Red will come home tomorrow.

Steve Kerr is not expecting to continue as head coach of Team USA. Eric Spolster, Ty Lue are the front runners to replace Kerr. His bench of reigning uh champion uh jason tatum earned kerr the most scrutiny but he said last november he planned to end his run with a team after paris to me it's a two-year it's a cycle pop coach world cup and the olympics now it was my turn to pass the baton i think if that's kind of how it should be i think

we're uh now at one cycle and you move on what What do you think, Ocho? I like it. I like it. I also think Kerr doesn't want to deal with the bullshit he had to deal with with the way he coaches, with the way the minutes the players played. Listen, Kerr has done everything. He's won a championship as a player. He's won a championship,

championships, plural, as a coach. You've won a gold medal. I mean, what more can you ask for? Your book is full. It's already written. Whenever you want to retire, you can retire because you've done damn near almost everything.

Allow someone else to pass the torch. I think it would probably be Spoh or would it be Tyrone? It would probably be Spoh or Tyloo. Well, they'll both be there. I mean, just the head coach. Probably Tyloo. You say Tyloo?

Yeah. Yeah. I like it. It's one more coach. It's the third one, isn't it? Isn't it supposed to be a third one? Yeah. I mean, I'm sure they will.

But Tyloo and Spoh was on the staff last on this past Olympics. So I'm assuming it's not going to be a situation like, I think Coach K was for two cycles, wasn't he? Didn't Coach K do eight and 12? I don't think you'll see that. I think, you know, he's like, Pop did it once. These guys will do it once, so it's going to be one and done. It's not going to be like the old guard, like the old team, like the Soviets,

they had the same coach. Brazil, they had the same coach. We're going to move on. It'll probably be Spoh or Ty Lue. I'm thinking Ty Lue is going to be in LA. Ty Lue is coaching LA. That's what I think. With flag football making its Olympic debut

during the 2028 games in Los Angeles, many expect NFL players to take part. How? But USA flag football quarterback Darryl Hush? Just said. Feels people shouldn't be so quick to write off current flag football players. I think it's disrespectful that they just automatically assume that they're able to just join an Olympic team

and because of the person that they are, they didn't help grow the game to get to the Olympics. Give the guys who helped get the game to where it is get where it's at their respect. Absolutely. Absolutely right.

Listen, I don't think people understand how good when you think about flag football i think you're just thinking just out there running around pulling flags man no they call plays it's more to it than that it's more to it than that i played with i forgot what year this was it was a a while ago. I saw his team play. So flag football at that level, I like to call it the elite level that he plays at, is different. I'll tell you this. How about this?

And I'll tell you no lie. And I guarantee you, you take... How many flag players on the field, Chad? I'm not sure how many flag players on the field. You take the best NFL players that you want, and I guarantee you play against Doucette's squad. His flag football team

squad plays the best NFL players right now. I guarantee you they beat the NFL players. Because flag football with the nuances, the tricks, and the things you can do to manipulate the game to your advantage, NFL players don't know about that.

It ain't just out there just running routes and catching the ball. It's so much more to it than that. So much more to it than that. So him saying it's disrespectful, it is. It is. It most definitely is. I think, Ocho, is because we've had a lot of people ask NFL players. Right.

Since the flag football is going to be an Olympic event at the Olympics, who, what NFL players would make great flag football players? And because it's got so much traction, let me ask you a question, Ochoa. How are they going to play? Preseason's going on when the Olympics is going on. So what owner, coach owner coach gonna let his players miss none none none at all none at all and again those that play flag football at that level

at that elite level like daryl ducette they are eons above the elite players that are used to playing NFL football because again, the flag football game is completely different. It is down easy. You might think you just go out there and just run and catch. It's more to it than that. It's way more to it than that. That's why I said you take Darryl Doucette, you let him get his team, his best team, and you get the best NFL team, and you play a game of flag football, the flag football players will beat the NFL players. Now you take the flag

football players and put them on the NFL field? And vice versa. Don't get wild. Made for This Mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners to rise above their struggles, break free from the chains of trauma, and silence the negative voices that have kept them small.

Nneka Goumeke will take the reins of LeBron's voting nonprofit as head of this year's election with a focus on women and reproductive rights. LeBron founded More Than a Vote in 2020 and primarily focused on access for Black Americans. It worked with the NAACP to get more poll workers, ran ads on television and online,

and worked with sports venues to become polling locations and raised roughly $4.2 million, according to the New York Times. LeBron posted, so proud to pass the torch to Nneka Gumike and the incredible team of women for the next round. Their voice is most powerful right now, and we need to get behind them. I encourage y'all to join the fight with us, led by these great ladies and more than just more than a vote. Nneka said in a statement, no one else should have the power to make decisions over our bodies and our health care. She's the president of the WNBA Players Union and volunteer to the poll worker in 2020 elections alongside her

sister, Shanae. I like it. I like it a lot. Listen, I'm not one. I mean, there are three things that I've always promised myself to always stay away from, especially on platforms like ourselves, like ours. Politics, religion, and race. It gets iffy.

It gets, it gets really iffy when it comes to those things. But this is something that, that I believe in, especially when it comes to women's rights, it's your body, it's your choice. No one else should be in charge of that to be able to make decisions for you in any way, shape or form, no matter what. So I'm in, I of everything that LeBron is doing and being a part of. It's ridiculous. The fact that we even got to this point to where those on the outside think they have the power or should have the power to tell you what you can do with your body is absolutely effing ridiculous.

Mm-hmm. the power to tell you what you can do with your body is absolutely effing ridiculous and well i just you know look voting is i mean so many people died i mean when you think about the people that died for that right right to vote to hear people say well i'm not gonna vote this year i'm like wow okay you just own i'm not gonna tell you what to do yeah do your thing um congratulations mecca picking that torch up women want to be heard um it is their body it is their right um and somehow it's only the women i would just imagine because I know, hey, I tell you what, if they try to take the thing where they just rolled out there, and I couldn't get my hands on them, boy, you better believe I got me a sign. I won't.

Hey, Ojo, I'm out there day and night. I'm taking a leave of absence. Yeah. Oh, no. You ain't been the best of my body. out there day and night. I'm taking a leave of absence. Oh no. You ain't been the best of my body. But my problem that people have is that they don't vote and then they got so much to say.

You didn't vote. Shut up. If that was such an issue and that was such a concern of yours, you should have voted. Once you don't vote shut up if that was such an issue and that was such a concern of yours you should have voted once you don't vote shut up yeah I ain't got to hear nothing you want to say I want to hear nothing because whatever

happens after you didn't vote it deserves to happen you should have voted I mean the fact that this is even in question is fucking ridiculous in itself. It's fucking ridiculous. Ocho, there's a new sport making the rounds. It's called tennis baseball.

He had a big serve. Listen, I got to see Carlos Alcaraz and Tommy Paul play here at Hard Rock Stadium. I got to see Coco Gauff play. Man, up close, it's different. It's like watching hockey on TV and then watching hockey in person. You don't understand how fast the game is until you see it and you exit right there.

Made for This Mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners to rise above their struggles, break free from the chains of trauma and silence the negative voices that have kept them small. Through raw conversations, real stories and actionable guidance, you can learn to face the mountain that is in front of you. You will never be able to change or grow through the thing that you refuse to identify. The thing that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain. This is the struggle. This is the thing that's in front of me. You can't make that mountain move without actually diving into that. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to conquer the things that once felt impossible and step boldly into the best version of yourself to awaken the unstoppable strength that's inside of us all. So tune into the podcast, focus on your emotional well-being,

and climb your personal mountain. Because it's impossible for you to be the most authentic you. It's impossible for you to love you fully if all you're doing is living to please people. Your mountain is that. Listen to Made for This Mountain on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on Good Company, the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences

with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide. And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets. Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hosted by Muhammad's wife, Lani Ali, and his close friend, award-winning broadcaster, John Ramsey,

Ali and Me goes beyond the boxing ring to delve deeply into Ali's extraordinary life through conversations with Billy Crystal, Mike Tyson, Rosie Perez, Common, Will Smith, and Bob Costas. It created a North Star for me of how I want to be in the world, you know. As a child, as a young person,
