We want to thank the volume for their great staff for collabing with me and Shea Shea Media to make all this stuff possible.

CJ and his staff at Pink Deer for all the success behind club shea shea we just want to thank everybody that behind the scenes because all those ocho and i get credit for nightcap and myself because i'm the only one that's really uh hosting um club shea shea we get all the credit but it's so many hard-working people behind the scene. Dougie, Dougie, appreciate you. Appreciate you. I don't know yet, but I appreciate you. It's that deserve to get credit. Let's get right into it, Ocho.

The Thunder go on the road, even the series up, take back home court. A very hard-fought victory. They went 100-96. Shea Gilgamesh Alexander was, again, he was exemplary. 34 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks, 52% from the floor. Chet Holbrook, 18 points, 9 rebounds, 4 blocks, 6 of 9. Had the most playoff box, 23 by a rookie since Serge Ibaka.

Luka tonight had 7 turnovers and 6 buckets. Missed game time free throws. He and Kyrie have not been playing well with the exception of that one game in which Luka played really well on the road in game two in which they won he and Kyrie have yet to put a game together PJ Brown has been playing unbelievable but he

wasn't enough tonight and being down by as many as 14 points late in the third quarter and down by as many as 8 points 9 points in the fourth quarter the OKC Thunder come back, snatch back home court and now they go back home for game five

and see if they can go up 3-2. Watching the game, Ocho, what did you like and what you saw from the Thunder? Obviously, what I saw from the Thunder, SGA. I'm going to just say SGA because I always pronounce his first name wrong. Shea. Shea is doing what he's doing. Obviously,

his supporting cast has been phenomenal on his part and everyone helping as well. Lou Dort had a good game. Finished with 17 points. Obviously, Shet Holmgren as well. So, there, I'm not going to say

they're top three because that wouldn't be their top three players, right? Jalen Williams, Shea Jalen Williams and Chet. Okay, would be. But if you don't have any output from Luka, Kyrie not playing well, who only had nine points if I'm not mistaken. Correct. being the leading scorer and doing his part, but the two superstars, the two-headed monster that should be playing for Narno or Tupar is one of the reasons why the series is now tied. Right. And they probably should be up

considering you're getting that kind of production from your third guy, and you're not getting your superstar, you're not getting the production from the guy that you're counting on, that you're depending on. I don't know what's going wrong with Kyrie. I mean, this Kyrie, this is not the Kyrie that I'm used to seeing.

I don't recall him playing as bad as what he's playing as being as inefficient. He's not taking a whole lot of shots. He's not scoring a whole lot in the first half. You kind of overlook it because he's kind of gotten it going in a couple of games in the second half. But for whatever reason, he could not get on track tonight. Luka has been very inefficient with the exception of maybe one game and the turnovers.

Luka's beat up, but he's going to have to find a way. You can't get every call. You got to stop flopping because you're laying on the floor. They're getting back up the court, and they're getting shots off. And your man's scoring. They got up a couple of threes. They got some layup because you're back there arguing with a call, expecting to get a call, and they're not giving you the call.

They kind of let them play tonight. And so give OKC. They knew they had to have this game. You don't normally team that go up 3-1 for the most part win about 90% of the times. And because you're going back home 3, you go up 3-1, and you're probably going to end up going back home for game 5. So you're going to be in front of your whole crowd.

But give the OKC Thunder credit. They're the number one home for game five. So you're going to be in front of your whole crowd. But give the OKC Thunder credit. They're the number one seed for a reason. I didn't, and my research before this, they had the most 10-point comfort behind wins. So that shows you that even though they're a young group, they're resilient. And they feel that they're

in any game because they have that guy who finished second in the MVP. Some of the shots that he made, even when they were down 8-10 points, that kept them attached, that didn't let the Mavs get up by 12, get up by 14 again in that fourth quarter, he made a shot, I think, that tied the game up

from the side, shot it over the corner of the backboard, and he hit nothing but net. This is a good question for me. On the outside, looking in, obviously, if you're a betting a good question for me. On the outside looking in, obviously, if you're a betting man, if you're a gambling man, you say, well,

you look at the series, OKC being a very young team, but like you said, they are resilient. But you think the Cavs are going to run away? The Cavs. You think the Mavs

are going to run away with this series? But obviously, that's not it. So, Chad, I'm asking you too as well. Do you think the Mavs still have a shot winning the series, or will the young Oklahoma team

shock the world? Not if Luke and Kyrie don't play better than what they played the first four games. I'm surprised that it's 2-2 considering how poorly Luke and Kyrie played overall. Now, Kyrie put together a couple of second halves, but overall, now he's playing some pretty good defense.

Give him credit for that. But Luka have been wildly inefficient, but yes, they can, they can win this series, but they're going to have to play better. And without them playing better, I don't, I don't see them. And plus you got to make your free throws. They shot just as many free throws as the OKC. The difference was OKC missed two out of 22. The other team missed 12 out of 21.

So when you miss that, when you miss that many free throws, especially the games are so close because these are two, I believe, evenly matched ball clubs. But you've got to find a way. You've got to find a way. Your two guns have got to find ways to play well. But give OKC credit because, like I said, they could have easily run and hide.

Right. They didn't. They fought. They scrapped. And when they got the lead, you see what happened. The Mavs started turning the ball over. Right. Luka's trying to get into a rhythm.

He's taking unnecessary shots. He's turning the ball over, and they're getting run out. OKC, they found a way to stay close to the ball game. And then the last clutch time, Shea took the game over. But they had a big shot. Louie Doerr hit a big three. Chet Holmgren hit a big three. But Louie Doerr, excuse me,

Shea Gill just took the ball game over. And that's why they're going back to OKC, tied 2-2. The Celtics beat the Cavs minus Donovan Mitchell, 109-102. Jalen Brown had 27 points, 8 rebounds. He was 2-3 from the 3. Jason Tatum had 33 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists. Put the Cavs on the brink of elimination.

And the Celtics are very close, one game away from advancing back to the Eastern Conference Finals. Jason Taylor played well. They got contribution from Jalen Brown. Drew Holliday played extremely well. And they were able to beat the Cavs, minus Donovan Mitchell. And you see Darius Garland played much better. I think he defers too much when Donovan Mitchell is in the game. Because he had his best game of the series all

for naught. It was a losing effort. But the Celtics go on the road. Now they go back home with a chance to clinch and get some much needed rest and say, okay, Nick's in Pacers. You guys fight it out. We're at home. He'd be picked up ready for whoever wins.

It's unfortunate for the Cavs. Obviously, Donovan Mitchell didn't play. Darius Garland played much better. And now there's no pressure on you. You have to take the shots. You have to take the shots that you would be reluctant to take, allowing Donovan Mitchell to somewhat take over games and take some of those opportunities from you.

Now, it's funny that Donovan Mitchell didn't play, but the scoreline was closer this game as opposed to when both of them played the previous game. It's weird how the game of basketball works. Obviously, I understand it's a game of runs. It's a game of rhythm and consistency from certain players.

But it's funny how your superstar doesn't play, but the ending of the game is much closer when everybody somewhat played for the Cavs on their end. Listen, with Jalen Brown and Donovan Mitchell, I mean, Donovan Mitchell, with Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum playing the way they're playing, ain't nobody beating them right now, especially when they're playing efficient. And when Derek White, when he finally gets it rolling again, like I saw him play against the Heat and be very efficient from the field, which he hasn't been since that Heat series, they might

be the one to be holding that trophy at the end of the season, coming out to East. Well, you know Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown, they're going to have to give you, and they probably average about 53 points between the two of them, if I'm not mistaken. They gave you 60 to 19 rebounds, and that's what you have to have

from those guys. But you're absolutely right. You're going to need Holiday. You're going to need Derek White. You're going to need that third option. And as long as they get the third option contributing, they're going to be just fine. Now, I might remind you that Christoph Rezingas hasn't played in this series. He's recovering from that strained calf.

And so, you know, you got 33, 11 of 25. Jason Taylor played 45 minutes. Holliday played 43 minutes, gave you 16, 7, and 5. Derek White didn't play particularly well. He was 106, 104. He had five points. Jason Taylor, excuse me, Jalen Brown played 34 minutes, 9 of 15, 2 of 3. He's been very efficient in the series.

27 points. Peyton Pritchard, another guy that comes off the bench, reminds you a lot of T.J. McConnell, going to give you great hustle plays, going to knock down shots. He's going to be a pest up and down the court. He was 3 of 5, 3 of 4 from 3. He had 11 points. Luke Cornett had 9 points, and Howitzer came off the bench.

He only had 2 points. But they got production from where they needed it, although Derek White and Al Horford didn't give them a whole lot of points. The big guns played well, and then you get Holiday chipping in with 16 and Braden Pritchett chipping in with 11. The Celtics, the question is what Celtic team is going to show up. You never know from game to game what's going to happen. They were 12 or 32 from the three-point line, 37%. You can live with that.

The head coach, Joe Mazzulla, probably wants them to get up somewhere around 40 to 45 threes. Want to try to make somewhere between 15 and 23. You look at the Cavaliers. They got 30 points from Darius Garland, 12 to 27, 4-13. Evan Mobley gave you 19. Karris LeBert, who's in the starting lineup because Donovan Mitchell was out,

he gave you 19. Mike Spruce gave you 15. I mean, they played really well. I mean, to think the game would be this close, minus Donovan Mitchell, I probably didn't see that coming. And probably the Celtics probably let down just a little bit because they know one of the high-powered guys from the opposing

team was out. Well, you know, the funny thing about it, if Donovan Mitchell is out with a calf strain, there's no way he's going to be able to play the following week. The following game. So, it's safe to say, obviously, I'm assuming

the Celtics are going to move on and whoever the winner out of the Pacers and the Knicks series, what are the chances if the Pacers win the series, what are the chances if the Knicks win the series, what chances do they have against the Celtics?

I think Pacers for me because offensively, they can get up and down in the bench. Pacers for me because offensively, they can get up and down in the bench. The problem with the Knicks is that they have no depth.

They're already without Julius Ramblin. They're already without Robinson. I was reading today he had ankle surgery. You don't know how long, maybe Bogdanovich is going to come back. I don't know about that. And you're dealing with OG Ananobis hamstring. So you're down four starters and you only played, I think they only played seven guys.

They played a lot of guys. They emptied their bench because they were down by as many as 43 points. But when you start shortening your bench as much as the Knicks will have to shorten their bench and you ask the guys to play as many minutes as you're asking them to play. I just don't see how the Knicks could really pose a problem. Now, if Jalen Brown goes crazy, which he's more than capable of doing, Devin Chinzo, Josh Hart, you know, they didn't have their best games last game. But if they play kind of like they played in game, what was that,

game three, game two? Yeah. They got a chance. They got a chance. But I still would like the Pacers because I think they can get up and down. They're going to run. They can make shots. The question is Tyrese Halliburton.

You see when he plays well, the Indiana offense looks really, really good. And he needs to play well. He can't be afraid to shoot the shot. Siakam needs to play better. He didn't need to do much yesterday. I think he only attempted like five or six shots yesterday. But I would like the Pacers. I'm not saying either team could beat the Knicks.

I mean, beat the Celtics. But I would like the Pacers in the series more so than I would like the Knicks. Now, it's time for our first segment of the day, and it is a newscast. Drafting Bronny LeBron James Jr. doesn't guarantee you his dad, LeBron James.

Rich Paul has made an effort to play down the idea that LeBron James would be a package deal with his son, Bronny, this offseason. Ryan Windhorst said, Rich Paul has in recent months indicated behind the scenes that selecting Bronny James doesn't guarantee LeBron will sign with that team. Look.

Yeah, it does. Yeah, maybe in two, three years. No, absolutely not. LeBron doesn't want to play two, three more years. Yes, he does. LeBron doesn't want to play two, three more years. Yes, he does. LeBron is waiting for this opportunity for his son to get drafted. Yes. And I think it's going to be a package deal wherever Bronny goes.

You want to bet? Yeah. I mean, the writing is on the wall. No, it ain't. The writing is on the wall. They're writing in Mandarin Chinese and I can't read that. Listen, LeBron James has played this long and had an illustrious career to continue his reign at the top until his son reached. Because his dream as a father training his son would be to always at one point play with his son on the NBA team.

Now, wherever that NBA team is that Bronny goes to, I guarantee you LeBron goes as well. Not this year. Not next year. Whoa. I do believe that LeBron wants to play with his son. Just the mere fact of having your son in the NBA while you're still playing isn't a feat in and of itself. Now, to have a King Griffey Jr. situation where Senior plays with Junior. Right.

But see, that was a special situation. If I'm not mistaken, I think the Rangers granted him his release so he could go play with the Mariners, so he could play with his son. I think the thing and the difference is Senior was not playing as well as LeBron Senior

playing in basketball. So it was a lot easier. Do I believe at some point in time before LeBron James leave the NBA. Right. So it was a lot easier. Easier. Right. Do I believe at some point in time before LeBron James will leave the NBA he'll play with his son? Yes, I do.

I just don't believe it's next year. I don't think it'll take that long. I don't think it'll take that long. Obviously, LeBron is very strategic in all

that he does. Yeah. Mav, the team, Rich Paul, they're all very strategic and methodical in everything that they do. I think we think a

different way on how things would happen. Maybe LeBron doesn't want to play two or three more years just to be able to play with his son. And I think he has the power and the cachet to make it happen. How they're going to make it happen, we obviously don't know. They know and they have a plan. The plan has been set in place for many, many of years. This is just not something that just happened.

And I think the plan is going to play out that he's going to play with LeBron probably this year. I don't want to say guarantee. I think it's going to happen sooner than we think. See, here's the issue also.

Is Bronny ready to play in the NBA? Just because you get drafted, you might have to go to the G League. Okay, that's a good one. So this is what I'm thinking. LeBron James, look, he's going to be involved with the coach. He's going to be involved with the Lakers with Frigg. I don't believe LeBron would be in a situation where he's like,

okay, I like this guy, I like this guy, I like said guy. And Frigg said, I want this guy with this guy. And then all of a sudden, he goes sign and plays with his son. I don't believe that's going to happen this year. Do I believe before LeBron James leaves the NBA that he plays with his son? Absolutely. Because the likelihood

of that happening again isn't very good. Unless somebody had a child while they were in high school. Because the likelihood of somebody playing this long again, though, Ojo, because think about it.

Yeah, there are a lot of guys that have kids. Right. And they might have a kid that's five or six years old. But what's the likelihood of them playing another 15 years,

another 16 years till the kid is old enough to reach this level? Right. It just so happens to be that LeBron was extremely blessed that he was able to play. And I think he had

Bronny in 2004, 2005, which allowed him. Because I think Bronny is like 19. 04. So you see? So that allowed him. Now LeBron came in the league in 2003.

So he has a kid one year into his career, and now here we are two decades later. That's him. Now, LeBron came in the league in 2003. Right. So he has a kid one year into his career, and now here we are two decades later. That's crazy. Yeah. So the likelihood of that happening is probably you won't see it again. You don't see it very often. That's why I don't think it would take that long.

I mean, I understand what you're saying. And I think if LeBron, I think because of, I'm not going to say favoritism in general, but because it's LeBron's son, I think certain things will be put in place to where it's accelerated

a little bit more as opposed to him having to go to G League as far as development goes. I think he'll be on the NBA team. I think he'll be on the NBA squad. I think he'll be on the NBA squad. You think he'll get drafted in the first round? From my understanding, based on what's coming out of college, I believe so.

I believe so. For the simple fact that I think behind closed doors, there might be rumblings that wherever Bronny goes, there's a chance LeBron comes there as well. And then you know what happens if you get even a 39-year-old LeBron

on your team? You know what it does for not just your city, not just for your franchise, but to me, it damn near puts you in contention, even though he's not the same LeBron of old. I just don't see it happening. You look at LeBron numbers. He was 25, seven rebounds, eight assists, playing at an extremely high level.

Right. And I just don't see him leaving the Lakers. Now, do I see him leaving the Lakers? Now, the question is, I believe he's going to opt out of that contract. Does he sign a two plus one, two years for an option for a third? Now that makes it a lot easier for him to determine because I can opt out of the contract and I can go be a free agency and I don't mess up your cap situation signing me

because my son is on your roster. So I believe that's more likely to happen, two years plus an option. Because I think LeBron believes in his heart of hearts that he said it, I can play as long as I want to. As long as my mind. As long as my body is healthy. Knock on wood, his body stays healthy. He seems really engaged.

He loves the game of basketball. He loves everything about it. He loves the prep work. He loves the meeting. He loves to shoot around. He loves being around the guys. And obviously, he loves the game. And so that goes in because you're always going to love the game.

But the question is, can your body hold up and your mind? Right. The meetings drove me away. I didn't want to meet anymore. I got tired. I had heard out. I mean, for him to still enjoy it like that, being in media, how many curvages, how many times you've been running a pin pin down or flare or one high

or all that other stuff. He's heard it all. Right. He knows it. And he still gets excited to get up and to do it over and over and over and over again. That's what makes you great.

Yep. Bronny looked good today. He played really, I mean, I saw him, I think he went like a whole minute. I think they said he was 19 or 25 from the three. Yeah, I saw the Twitter. He think they said he was 19 or 25. By three, yeah.

He had a 40 and a half inch vertical. It was pretty impressive. It was pretty impressive. Wait, what was the vertical again? 40 and a half. But they do running jump. They don't do it like the NFL. Oh, just standing?

Yeah, NFL standing jump. Yeah. The NBA, they allow you to get running jump. So what was your vertical, you think? The highest I've ever done was like 38 and a half. Okay, okay. I think I'm not mistaken, if I remember correctly, because my vertical jump has been one of my best assets that I had due to my DNA.

I think it might have been a 46, 46, 45, something like that. Something like that. You did that in the combine? Huh. You did that in the combine? Huh? You did it in the combine? Nah, I did that at USC, at USC Pro Day. Yeah, I did. Yeah, I think it might have been a 46. I think Gerald Sensabaugh has the

highest in combine history. He had a 46. Gerald Sensabaugh. Yeah, that's what they compared me to, too. Gerald, I ain't here. I ain't know who he was. I'm comparing you to Pinocchio but I think Gerald Sensaba

I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think

I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think

NBA, a lot of your running starting to jump. Because you're going to be doing a lot of that in the NBA. You're going to be a lot of doing running, jumping. So, okay, to each his own.

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.

A lot of times the big economic forces we hear about on the news show up in our lives in small ways. Three or four days a week, I would buy two cups of banana pudding, but the price has gone up. So now I only buy one. The demand curve in action. And that's just one of the things we'll be covering on Everybody's Business from Bloomberg Businessweek. I'm Max Chavkin. And I'm Stacey Vanek-Smith. Every Friday, we will be diving into the biggest stories in business, taking a look at what's going on, why it matters, and how it shows up in our everyday lives. But guests like Business Week editor Brad Stone, sports reporter Randall Williams,

and consumer spending expert Amanda Mull will take you inside the boardrooms, the backrooms, even the signal chats that make our economy tick. Hey, I want to learn about VeChain. I want to buy some blockchain or whatever it is that they're doing. So listen to Everybody's Business 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's 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. LeBron was seen courtside with his lovely wife Savannah at the Celtics-Cavs game

where he was given a standing ovation by the hometown crowd. Do you think LeBron would go back to Cleveland? If you wanted to write a story, if you wanted to write a story and finish it the right way, you wanted to write a story and finish it the right way as LeBron James, you get drafted, you're from Ohio, you get drafted to Cleveland, you leave Cleveland, you go to Miami, you go back

to Cleveland, you go from Cleveland to LA, and you want to finish your story the right way the right way and close that book and just be complete well the one way to ensure that is to draft Ronnie bingo, there you go and there goes your happy ending and I think

it would be dope, yeah who's to say Ronnie doesn't go to LA well I don't think they'll take a do to L.A.? Well, I don't think they'll take a first... Do they have a first-round pick? I don't know if they take him in the first round. Most reports are saying

second-round pick. But like you said, there's not a whole lot of... not a whole lot of beat at the top of the draft. Right, right, right. So it's not like, oh, man, I got to have this guy.

Oh, I got to have that guy. So no consensus at all in this draft at all? No, no. That's why I say the chances of him maybe going to L.A., I got to have this guy. Oh, I got to have that guy. So no consensus at all in this draft? No. No. That's why I say the chances of him maybe going to L.A., maybe going to Cleveland, but for some reason,

I know Rich Paul, I know LeBron. Everything is already set in stone. It's set in stone, and there's a chance. If he doesn't go to L.A., wherever LeBron he goes, I'm telling you,

LeBron might be that issue. I was very happy to see the ovation that he got. I'm glad they let bygones be bygones. Oh, right then? Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Bron came back. He brought him a championship. Went to the NBA finals all four years he was back there. I think the thing is, and for me,

he fulfilled his obligation. He never asked to be traded. He stayed there for seven years. He went to Miami for four years, came back for four years, and now he's been in L.A. And so I don't think anybody can be upset with LeBron. I don't think Miami can be upset with it because he did bring two titles in four years.

I don't think L.A. can be upset with it because what's the likelihood? Because think about they hadn't won a title. They hadn't even been to the Western Conference Finals since Kobe last won the title in, what, 2010, 2011. Right. So, 2010, 2010. Because 2011, they got swept in the first round by Dallas.

People don't realize that. They swept Lakers, who were the defending champions. With Dirk? Yep, with Dirk, Jason Kidd, all those guys, Tyson Chandler. I think Sean Merrill was on that squad. So the likelihood, and everybody's like, oh, LeBron this, LeBron that. But you got to think about where you were before LeBron got there. Yeah.

You weren't making the playoffs. You weren't even close to making the playoffs. I forget. There's a reason why you kept getting D'Angelo Russell with the second pick of the draft. There's a reason why you got Lonzo Ball with the second pick of the draft. There's a reason why you got Lonzo Ball with the second pick of the draft. There's a reason why you got Julius Randle with a top 10 pick. Y'all need to realize, Laker Nation, what you were before LeBron. You didn't have this kind of hope.

I understand that you used the championship, but at the end of the day, there was no sun on the horizon before LeBron came there. Do they give LeBron credit for the chip that he did bring? It didn't count? LeBron is never going to... Look.

LeBron brought two chips, but he's never been loved in Miami like D. Wade. It's different. It's different. Right. It's different. Kevin Durant goes to Golden State. He wins them two titles.

He helped win them two titles. He's a two-time finals MVP. But they didn't draft him. Miami drafted D-Wade. The Golden State Warriors drafted Steph. They drafted Klay. They drafted Draymond. So there's an affinity for guys that we drafted.

Right. That we watched them. You see, Colby, see, Magic came there. Right. Magic came right out of college as a 20-year-old, won him a title in rookie season. Colby came to L.A. as a 17-year-old kid. That's right.

They watch him get mad. They watch-old kid. They watch him get married. They watch him have kids. They watch him turn into a man. They watch him turn into one of the top players in NBA history. They feel a certain kind of love and an affinity for Kobe because he's ours. That's why

guys that come, Magic, people, if you go ask them, people will always say Magic and Kobe are the two best Lakers because those are the guys, not even Jerry West, LJ Baylor, but I'm saying Kobe and Magic one, two, is Lakers

because Shaq came from Orlando, Kareem came from Milwaukee. Ah. So they don't consider them as one of their own. They do because Kareem, people don't realize Kareem came from Milwaukee. Ah. So they don't consider him as one of their own. They do because Kareem, people don't realize Kareem played in L.A. longer than he played,

longer than he played. I think he played seven years in Milwaukee. I think 76, if I'm not mistaken, was his first year in L.A. If I'm not mistaken, I think it was 76. Might have been 75. He won like two MVPs as soon as he got there and then won a third one

in the 79-80 season. But that's just the way it is. Sometimes it's like that in basketball. Yeah, we appreciate what you've done, but... It ain't the same.

Kobe, man, and Magic, and James Worthy, those are the guys that were like, they're ours. We watched them come and go. John Fury, Tyson Fury's dad,

if I'm not mistaken, headbutted a member of the opponent, Alexander Yusik's team, busting himself open in the process ahead of his son Tyson's undisputed championship fight with Yusik this coming Saturday. John is generally good to get some spotlight

on himself ahead of his son's fight. With arguably Tyson's greatest, biggest fight ever, John went above and beyond. What you think? Man, buddy, he tripping. Well, you know, man. No, he got a terrible hitting. Yeah, and he taking the focus,

he taking the focus off of what's important. Who's going to be in the ring. Right. And now you're adding even more pressure on Fury. Mm-hmm.

Like, he ain't going against no, no, no, just no anybody. Oh, no, no. You look at Mike. Especially the way he looked against Ngannou. Did I say it the right way?

Who that? Yeah, but see, he took that fight. He didn't take that fight serious. Oh, no. What was that? Oh. He took it serious. You know what you mean? He ain't taking it serious. Man, please. Man. You think he took that fight serious. Oh, no. What was that? Oh, he took it serious.

What do you mean he didn't take it serious? Man, please. You think he took that fight serious? Yeah, he took it serious. No, Anthony Joshua took it serious. No. Fury took that fight serious, and I think he was just surprised

that Francis had gotten that good and that polished in such a short amount of time and being able to transition from MMA to boxing. And when he got in the ring, I'm looking like, what the hell? Who the hell he been training with? Did you see Ngannou against Joshua

when someone took it serious? Yeah. Two different styles. There's levels to fighting. Right. You see the feint. And you see every time, because every time he feint,

what did Ngannou do? He would drop. Yeah. He'd do this. And so every time, because every time he faint, what is he going to do? He would drop. Yeah. He'd do this. And so, he kept putting it out there. He kept putting it out there. Oh, that's what you're going to do?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, listen. It's going to be a good one. It's going to be a great fight because both of these guys are boxers.

Yeah. There's a difference between a boxer and a fighter. And a slugger, too. Yeah, yeah. We know the brown bomber, Deontay Wilder. He got one punch. Slugger. He's looking

like this is right. I mean, he ain't jabbing to do anything. He's like right and just try to... He's not like Lenny Lewis. Lenny Lewis used his jab to do damage. Ernie Shaver. Larry Holmes. Vladimir Klitschko.

They used their jab to do damage. It wasn't just a range finder. It was to do damage. And boom. Brown Bomber, he just tried to unload. So Tyson Fury said, okay, I'm just going to time it up. Lean on you. Get your time. Take your legs.

And that's it. But I think this is going to be a really good fight here. Tyson Fury and Alexander Yusik, because both guys can box. It's going to be interesting to see. This is the first time that Fury's going to be in there with somebody. Now, he's going to be

a massive of a man, but somebody that has a very similar skill set. Good footwork. Very good ring IQ. He can box in the pocket. He can fight at distance. He can fight mid-range.

So it's going to be very interesting on how they're able to read each other out, gather information, process it round by round, try to figure each other out. And I think it's going to get really interesting once

it gets about round six or seven and you're a little bit tired. You can't be on your bicycle. You can't have as much movement. You have to actually sit there and fight. I think that's where it's going to become interesting. That's one thing I like about the heavyweights. They ain't really getting on no bicycle. Hey,

they got to save that in. Oh, yeah. Those are huge. Man, you're talking about 52, 60. Right. These are what we call super heavyweights. Man, you ain't getting on no bystander. Not really.

But it's funny. Yeah, but the funny thing when you think about it is you think about their boxing prowess and their footwork is like that of a lightweight almost. Yeah. They move, the footwork, the movement, the being able to get in and get out. Defense.

Very good defense. They know how to move. Minimal movement. Minimal movement, but conserve energy while moving. You and I, we all we all know how to play. They're going to know how to lean. They know how to do

all that but the thing is about the really good boxers they know they can have a sense of like they can look over there oh he tired

look how he breathing look how that's why you gotta have that poker face the whole time your mannerisms you gotta be relaxed the whole time

you have to have that poker face and show nothing even if you get hit clean and I've learned this from a few times. I've been in there. People telling me, man, somebody can hit you with a good shot and you could be hurt. You cannot

show any sign of weakness at any point because it's like sharks seeing blood in the water. Yeah. Hit me. Ow! Hey, man, I used to get tired. Hey, son, don't bend over. Hey, ain't no oxygen out here. I see rabbits.

I see cats. I see snakes. Ain't no oxygen out here. Who told you that lie? Ain't no oxygen out there. Ain't no oxygen out there. You know what? Guess what?

It's oxygen even lower because I've been laid out. Ocho, there's a report that Justin Fields had a toxic relationship with Nick Foles in the Chicago locker room. According to reports, the relationship between Foles and Fields

basically reached rock bottom at the situation where Foles was trying to teach something to Fields only to turn around and realize that Fields wasn't paying attention to anything Foles was saying. According to report, Foles and Phil could not stand each other.

There ain't nothing wrong with that. Listen, you, in the chat, in the NFL, listen, as much as you want to get along with everybody, think about where you work. If you work in the corporate world, or wherever you work, you don't get along with every person that's there.

That man isn't there to take your job. They are there to compete. Yeah, they are. You are there to compete. Everybody's not going to get along on the same team. That's just the nature of the business at times. I'm better than you. Why are you sitting here trying to teach me?

Younger player, listen to an older veteran who's been somewhat, not somewhat, not really, I don't want to call him a journeyman, but he played on a few different teams. He has a Super Bowl win. So I think that's someone you would want to listen to and confide in, especially when it comes to playing a position of quarterback because he knows what it takes to win

because he has won before. After taking over for Carson Wentz when he got hurt. But listen, at times you're just not going to like people. after taking over for Carson Wentz when he got hurt. Yeah. You know? But listen, at times, you're just not going to like people. It's just the way it is. And I think it's unfortunate that it came down to this. I think it's unfortunate that it got out now that Justin Fields is gone and he's in Pittsburgh.

So why now? Yeah. Why now? It wasn't an issue then. Why make it an issue now? It wasn't an issue, but I'm disappointed that it got out because it makes Justin feel like he's uncoachable. Like he's unwilling to listen to someone

that's trying to help. And you know, look, when I was in there, and somebody could give me some valuable information, the mistake that I made is that I listened to the wrong person and he gave me the wrong route. And I went there red at full speed

and coach looked at me like I was a damn fool. But that's my fault. Right. That's my fault. I think the thing is, Ocho, for me, is that when I, I've always said that

if I ever got in a situation, I say, when I make the team next year, someone ask me something, I'm going to be able to give them the real information because I'm just,

I look at it, Ocho. You can't beat me. I'm going to teach you everything you know, not everything I know. Right. So you're never going to be able to get beat this job. And I understand, like, when Ozzie made the move to teach you everything you know, not everything I know. So you're never going to be able to beat this job. And I

understand when Ozzy made the move to move on to Todd Heath, he had to get me up out of there. Todd Heath was never going to be able to beat me up on that job. Because I knew too much. I knew all the tricks of the trade. I knew how to get open, no matter what the situation was. But my job was to make sure, and to Rook's

credit, he hung on everything that I said. So I tried to make sure. And to Rook's credit, he hung on everything that I said. So I tried to make sure that the locker, the tight end room was better when I left than when I found it. Same way with Denver. I take it as an elder

statesman, Ocho. That's my job. Right. To pass that information down because I had some guys that really helped me. In the receiver room, Mark Jackson,

I backed him up. He helped me immensely. the receiver room, Mark Jackson, I backed him up. He helped me immensely. Vance Johnson, those guys really, really helped me when I was there. And so I really appreciated the older guys

really helping me to try to get me up to speed because they knew if something happened to them, I'm going to have to go in and play. Now what good is that? You don't help me out and I got to go in and play

and I don't know what the hell I'm doing. That's a negative reflection on you. But I agree with you, Ocho. I don't like that this got out because at the end of the day, you know who he's going to look negative on. Yeah. Because you got a veteran quarterback

that's played a number of years in the league. And like you say, he did win the Super Bowl. He did go to a Pro Bowl. He once had a season which he threw 27 touchdowns with two interceptions. So it's like, man, he tried to help Justin Fields, and Justin Fields doesn't, he's uncoachable.

You can't help it. And it's so funny. It's always the black quarterbacks where stuff like this comes out. You think it only happens with them? I guarantee you it definitely doesn't. I think when Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers were there, I'm sure there was some of the same

issues. I think it happens like that when you have two players at a certain position and you understand that if you're not playing well, the person that's trying to help and coach you could eventually be taking your job if you don't play up the par.

It is what it is. It's no secret that Aaron Rodgers is a big fan of New York Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett other than the organization may not feel the same according to SNY the Jets reported reportedly consider bringing aboard someone above Hackett's head

to oh okay above Hackett to run the offense there are legitimate concerns with Hackett's ability to, oh, okay, above Hackett to run the offense. There are legitimate concerns with Hackett's ability to be successful to run things. It almost feels like the Jets are putting so much faith in Rodgers' ability to correct Hackett's wrongdoing. I don't like that.

But Nathaniel Hackett has always had some type of issues and problems from an offensive standpoint as a coordinator. Actually, before he even got here. Wasn't there an issue when he was winning? Never. He was the head coach. He got the job. Issues in Denver. Wait, where was he before Denver?

He was the offensive coordinator at Green Bay, but he didn't call no plays. And see, what happened was is that Aaron Rodgers won those back-to-back MVP. Look, I mean, how much credit do we actually give the offensive coordinator to coach Tom Brady? Because look what they didn't have, Brady, how they look. Exactly. So now we understand that not much coaching goes on once you're in that structured environment. It's all X's and O's. So it's up to you to execute those X's and O's once you're in between those lines.

Now you understand why Coach gets fired because there's certain players and player personnel that aren't able to live up to the expectations that are expected from the person that's doing the play calling.

I believe Nathaniel Hackett got that job in Denver because they believed he could deliver Aaron Rodgers. Nathaniel Hackett got that job in Denver because he believed they believed he could deliver Aaron Rodgers Aaron Rodgers

got the job and went back to Green Bay he got the job in the Jets because Aaron Rodgers comes to the game that's some great

ball to have it is it is so that's like if you're Josh McDaniels you should always be able to get a job no matter what obviously when Brady that's some great ball to have. It is. It is. So that's like, if you're Josh McDaniels, you should always be able to get a job no matter what. Obviously when Brady was playing.

Yeah. Which is why he was able to turn down the job in Indy and still get an opportunity in Oakland, excuse me, Las Vegas now. That's why.

Because of the individual that you were attached to as to being coached and you look at look at what happened every year he goes one year halfway through the next year he gets fired yeah two jobs yeah two head coach jobs look at him when he was a head when he was the offensive coordinator of the ram they had the worst offensive football now he goes back to new england he's with tom brady he wins superbowls now he gives the job New England. He's with Tom Brady. He wins Super Bowls. Now, he gets the job at the Colts. He's like, nah.

He sends them a fax saying, nah, I'm good. I'm turning it down. Goes back to New England, wins some more. Gets the job at Las Vegas. Look at him. Quarterback always saves the day, which is why the quarterbacks make the big money. Okay.

Now it's time for our favorite segment. It's late enough. I know it's late at night, don't you? And, and, and,

Three or four days a week, I would buy two cups of banana pudding, but the price has gone up, so now I only buy one. The demand curve in action, and that's just one of the things we'll be covering on Everybody's Business from Bloomberg Businessweek. I'm Max Chavkin. And I'm Stacey Vanek-Smith. Every Friday, we will be diving into the biggest stories in business, taking a look at what's going on, why it matters, and how it shows up in our everyday lives. But guests like Businessweek editor Brad Stone, sports reporter Randall Williams,

and consumer spending expert Amanda Mull will take you inside the boardrooms, the backrooms, even the signal chats that make our economy tick. Hey, I want to learn about VeChain. I want to buy some blockchain or whatever it is that they're doing. So listen to Everybody's Business 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.
