There is more stuff about Giannis that I wanted to get into with Amin Elhassen, but he again is having some sort of stomach issues or whatever it is that he has to get into with Amin Elhassen, but he again is having some sort of stomach issues

or whatever it is that he has to deal with all the time that makes him run in and out of the show. So what we're gonna do is at the end of this hour, we are gonna give you some concentrated Yanis talk from both Izzy and Amin on Yanis because so many people are interested and fascinated about what that is going to be because there's going to be very little in sports that's going to

be garnering more attention than who's going to add the instant hope of we can get Giannis at 30 years old coming off of his best season. So we're going to put that at the end of this hour a little sprinkling of oddball to go with your finals coverage I saw a headline the other day that I thought had been written by Stugats and it made me wonder what Stugats would make of the following headline which read coward decommits from Duke will stay in the NBA draft. Coward decommits from Duke stays in the NBA draft. Coward decommits from Duke stays in the NBA draft? I have no idea what that means. Did Cooper Flag decide to, what happened?

No, there's a player named Cedric Coward. Really? Yeah. It's a terrible name. I get it. Poor guy. It is a bad name, but is it as bad as Braves reliever Scott Blewett?

It is a bad name, but is it as bad as Braves reliever Scott Blewett? No. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Kenny Pickett, not bad. Chris Blewett. Chris Blewett. That's not the joke, that's his name. Right. Chris Blewett. The kicker's name. Yeah. Thank you. Was he from Pittsburgh or from FSU?

Where am I remembering a Blewett? He was on the Bears in 2019. Not helpful, that's a different. He went to Pitt. Okay, thank you. Blewett a terror. Well, put it on the poll as well. Blewett, is it a worse name for a kicker or a reliever?

Lifetime 40% fuel goal percentage. He's currently the kicker for the Houston Roughnecks. He still has a job. I wanna play some funny sound for you guys from lacrosse. At the moment, the funniest sound that we have in our archive is Stugatz on ESPN, calling a game as the Color Man and getting it precisely wrong on a game-winning situation.

Here is Stugat during his, this would be the greatest moment of your color commentary play by play career at ESPN or anywhere else, correct? Greatest and only, yes. Yes, well, you have others, but you have bad moments that are around our team, but in terms of national pride on anything you're talking about, you calling a lacrosse game on ESPN is a broadcasting highlight for you. And for context here, he's talking about Sam Apuso,

who's, I believe, one of the best players in this. At the time, she was the best player in the world, yes. And you're saying here, in this analysis, like late in the game, they shouldn't go to her. They were doing that the entire game. They were using Sam as a decoy and everyone else was scoring the goals and so I figured they would stick with what got them there.

Let's see if what Stugat says should happen happened. So I've noticed the last couple of BC possessions where it seems like they've tried to force Sam. Sam's tried to force something. I'd rather see someone other than Sam get the shot. And, Rick, what I mean by that is they've been better offensively today when Sam's not forcing the action, but more of a decoy than the one generating the ulcers. Apuso, she's going.

Shot off goal in Boston College! On the shoulders of the Tijuana Town winner, Sam Mapuso will be heading to the National Championship game for a third straight year. She was due, I mean. Still a bad decision. Great call, by the way. The analysis by Stugat sounded solid.

The result is as bad as it could have gone. Actually, the the way he delivered it was as well as I was very confident. Yes. So this next analyst game, by the way, I mean, you got to say things, you got to fill time and occasionally you're going to be wrong. I mean, well, in this clip we have Holy Cross for Sacred Heart. This was a few weeks back for satyrs, big matchup. And this is one of those instances where some fan realizes oh look there's a microphone right there that I can get on this broadcast so what

you're hearing you're gonna hear here's just normal broadcast and then all of a sudden you're gonna hear something out of left field and it's just a fan who found a microphone. And now we'll get our penalty. So Sacred Heart to the man up trailing by two at the beginning of this fourth quarter. A lot of people saying Sacred Heart has diarrhea. OK, we apologize for our crowd, Mike.

What you do? OK. I love the announcer getting in there that quickly before the Ria gets out in diarrhea. The announcer realizing the predicament that the broadcast is in and coming in with an okay. Two at the beginning of this fourth quarter. A lot of people saying Sacred Heart has diarrhea. Okay, we apologize for our crowd, Mike. He lets him go though.

Does he think for a second? Is this a sideline reporter? This is going to end well. You know what? I've got to say that the way that he did the sing song on a lot of people saying you wanted to hear him out, and it's not until he got to diarrhea, the key word that closes out the conversation, that things became problematic.

Two at the beginning of this fourth quarter. Lot of people saying Sacred Heart has diarrhea. Okay, we apologize for our crowd mic. Fairness, that person's not saying it, just reporting a lot of people are saying it. A lot of people are, and there for our crowd mic fairness that person's not saying it just reporting a lot of people There's a live mic I mean But I've got to tell you though that once you've started with a lot of people saying you got to get to the end Of it like you can't cut that person off

You got to find out what a lot of people are saying perfect execution by the stray Ancillary sound of the person who got to the microphone and Teased the broadcaster just enough to get to the word diarrhea and then the broadcasters like okay How did he know the timing because this guy like starts talking right as they start it's like it's perfect He can't hear the broadcast. It's wonderful To at the beginning of this fourth quarter Wonderful two at the beginning of this fourth quarter. A lot of people saying, Sacred Heart has diarrhea.

Okay, we apologize for our crowd, Mike. I'm glad they played through it, if they do have diarrhea. Reckless speculation. I have some reckless speculation. That person sounds a lot, wait, should I do it? Hold on a second.

Hold on, you can't do this this way. What are you doing? Quit being irresponsible. Time to throw away all journalistic credibility and get reckless. Here is something we like to call reckless speculation. You hear that? That sounded like Sarah Spain.

Wow. The person who says, la la la, play it again. Sounds like Sarah Spain. Doesn't sound like Sarah Spain. Hold on, let's hear him out. Two at the beginning of this fourth quarter. Lot of people saying, Sacred Heart has diarrhea. Okay, we apologize for our crowd.

It sounds like hand-leaving Josh Allen, Mary. I can hear a little bit of it. No, I don't hear it. You get a good teammate, Tony. It's a play for Alissa Sarris. We can all agree, I believe, that the sing-song nature of that fan, combined with the accusation that ends

with spraying liquid shit is perfect made better only by the announcer's discomfort comedically right after. Two at the beginning of this fourth quarter. A lot of people saying Sacred Heart has diarrhea. Okay, we apologize for our crowd, Mike. I hear it more. I don't.

Tint of Spanish there. I'm more confused than ever. I mean. It sounds exactly like Sarah Spade Hear it more. I don't tend to Spanish there more confused than ever It sounds exactly like Sarah Spain when she's trying to do like Chicago accent Sarah Spain Also, probably an inside job, right? How do you know where that microphone is and what that microphone is for? I'm not saying the person knew or the broadcaster knew but someone knew and told someone who told someone else what that was for, and that's how that happened. Because how else would you do that as a broadcaster? I'm fine about that investigation.

I'd also like a TV detective show where Pablo Torres shows up and happens to have a few questions for you about everything that happened there. I believe that not only was it an inside job that the participant knew that a microphone was nearby, I believe it was practiced. That sentence was practiced, the conclusion of diarrhea was practiced,

and the sing song way that makes it that you have to stay with it until the end of the thought. I believe all of that is something that was not impromptu, that that was something that was given a lot of consideration. And I also believe that it's an excellent insult to file at Sacred Heart, to say that a lot of people are saying that Sacred Heart, as an institution,

has digestive issues, that when they're in private, they have liquid shit because they can't control their bowels. Is that an insult? Yes. Why? To accuse someone of having diarrhea. I love a good diarrhea. It happened. Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. You can't control their bowels. Is that an insult? Yes. Why? To accuse someone of having diarrhea. I love a good diarrhea. It happens.

Put it on the pole, and let the tar show. You can't control it. I feel good after. A day or two after I have it, I'm good. Looking light. I go instantly. I'd say five minutes after I feel good.

No way. It's kinda like throwing up afterwards. Much better. Oh, so much better than a diet too. Cagalitroso is a great Spanish insult. Cagalera is funnier as a word in Spanish than diarrhea is in English. And I believe it is an insult

to accuse someone of having diarrhea. Put it on the poll at LeBittard Show. If you've accused someone of having diarrhea, are you aspiring to insult them? A lot of people saying Sacred Heart has diarrhea. Okay, we apologize for our crowd mic. That okay is just okay.

Dan, I have something here that just hit me, but I think Amin can help. So Amin, when you make a shot in a basketball game that's a random shot that shouldn't have gone in What do you call it? Happy birthday usually what you say to the guy who shot it, right? Right, you call it a CAG CAG. Yeah CAG Wow, is that actually uniquely is that is that a Miami Tony?

Excellent excellent because I did not know until this moment We've talked before about CAG being something that Hispanics in Miami say, and we've also talked before about whether that is just, as Billy likes to say, me, a uniquely Miami expression. But I really didn't know until right now that- It's cagalera. I did not know that to CAG, to, it's to get lucky on a basketball shot, or to get lucky in

general I did not know that that was that was shortened for cagalera for diarrhea in Spanish. First time learning of that. When I play basketball when we've always played basketball in here like oh you made that shot from that court it's a CAG or you made the shot that banks off the the side when you're shooting from from the angle it's a CAG. You always used to say happy birthday. Like to indicate like, okay. Now you know it's a CAG. Lucky day. So, put it on the poll, Juju at Levitard Show.

What do you say on a lucky bank shot in basketball? Happy birthday, CAG or banks open? How long have you been hearing CAG though, Dan? Only down here. Banks open is only when you're the one who made it right when you make the bank shot you have to bank it Right you got a banking banks open extra points if you do it either at night or on the weekend Yes, do it on a Sunday run. Oh my god banks open Do you guys not assume I've always a Kate Cunningham hit a game winner earlier this year where it was from three and he

Banked it in here Here against the Heat? I would think that for a basketball player, it's slightly diluted to hit the game winner that way. Just a little, that it's not quite as great. If there was no backboard, do you know how far past the rim that ball would go? I'm maintaining though that the game, not all game winners are equal. That if a player in the NBA makes one on a bank, it feels plenty good, but it doesn't feel as good as making it clean.

Dan, the unwritten rule is if you hit a game or buzzer-beating bank shot that you did not mean the bank, you have to shrug and smile like, oh my God, how lucky. You have to acknowledge that that wasn't on purpose. Now, if you're like Tim Duncan, falling away and you hit that bank shot banks open Well, he's the only one who has 24 7 bank hours all over the world any country any time of dirt Cat extended hours as well

He can get extended hours, but only Tim Duncan's got that private banker That's always answering always on when he's got a call. Him and you, Dan. I also imagine Tim Duncan walking into a bank. I'm not making up what I'm telling you from yesterday. But I think you guys imagine me leaving with a garbage bag that has a dollar bill sign on the side, and it's not that. I wouldn't be smart.

It was just a stack of bills that were wrapped in a small garbage bag. It was not... of bills that were wrapped in a small garbage bag It was not I had you like Santa Claus Because remember guys it's too much money to take out from an ATM apparently So it's gotta be an amount of money daily limit $600 on an ATM. How much you spend a day in cash again? I'm not doing it for the day. I only put a daily limit. You keep doing it. Yeah, but I don't want to have to go back to the bank. I think you like going to the bank.

I don't mind. I like interacting. You talk to your teller. Hey, Phyllis, how's it going? I sometimes go to the bank and just don't even take out any money. I make them say out loud how much I got in here, and then I leave.

I always learn my bank limits at a casino when it's like you can't take any more out. Really? Yeah. Huh. They shame you. It's just like yeah you've taken it. I could have swore I had more. They're doing it for you Chris. Buddy you have a family. I wish I had a spot like like the bank or whatever I just kind of go and hang out like that's my waiting room I don't really have business. How about the bakery that you went to to get your patellitos? Nah. They pulled up a picture, by the way, of Dan's money bag. See, not a home bakery, Dan.

I knew it. This is Dan's money bag from yesterday. It was a very small bag that I put in my pocket, but it was that material of trash bag, and it was very, I didn't even understand what was happening. It felt like I was doing something illegal. They simply, they simply gave me,

it was raining so hard, I don't know if. I don't know where else this is happening. It must be happening all over the world. Hold on Dan. Are you calling a 20? I am. What are you doing? I'm calling a 20. Hold on. Dan, you said it was wrapped in the plastic and then you put it in your pocket, right? Then if it's in your pocket, why does it need to be wrapped

from plastic to protect from the rain? It's in your pocket. Again, this is the teller not knowing where I was going to put it or if I was going to put it in my pocket. Phyllis. Big pockets. It's not a, what are you doing? Phyllis is the name of the teller in the story

you're just telling. Why did you just blurk? It was a callback. Yeah, to the story. You walk in, hey Phyllis, how's it going? I'm here for the kids. Exactly. Phyllis gives you some mints.

Are we still making Phyllises? Well. Only at the usual. How are the kids? Exactly. Phyllis gives you some mints. Are we still making Phyllis's? Well. Only at the bank. Do we do mints at banks? Yeah, yeah. And banks, I have a question for you guys. On a technicality.

We're gonna take a full time out here. You go into the bank. Banks have pens. You know what? I'm gonna take an eight minute timeout. Well, I'm not so rude. You go and you have, I'll go eight minutes! You have, You go and you have, I'm going eight minutes.

You have, you have a, you go and a lot of banks have pens now that are on those chains so they don't get lost forever. So they don't steal the pen, yeah. But if it's the cup and it says like Regions Bank, I don't even know if that's still a bank, but whatever. The bank is there and it's all a bunch of pens and a pen cup, right?

And you take the pen and then you go home. Did you rob a bank? Oh man, that's, You robbed something from the bank. Did you rob a bank? Hold on, hold on, You robbed something from the bank. Did you rob a bank? Hold on, hold on, hold on. I'm following you here, Billy. Now I have some follow up questions.

The pen, does it have like a piece of paper at the end and a lot of scotch tape around it? No, not this one. This is a high end bank. Just a regular pen? Just, it's a cup of pens. It has a pen in it. You take the pen-

It's locked in with one of those little tiny ball and socket pens. No, no, no. He's saying it's a loose pen. Loose pen. Loose pen. But it has a bank's name on it. Loved a little ball and socket. No, no, no. He's saying it's a loose pen. Loose pen. Loose pen. But it has a bank's name on it. There you go.

That was the second question. It's branded. If it's branded and it's in a cup, that's yours to take, man. Really? Thank you for banking with us. Okay, what if it was on the chain and you're in a pinch and you go and you take it off? No, now you're robbing it. If it's on a chain, you're stealing.

You're a bank robber. Right. They chained it there for a reason. They're in and out banded. They chained it there for a reason. They in and out banned it. They don't want you to take it. One of the things COVID did to us was at these doctor offices, all appointments now, when you sign in anywhere, here's the clean cup,

and then when you're done with it, put it in this cup, we're done with that, right? Can we get back to just cups? I don't think- Put some pens in the cups. Chris, I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't think anyone ever followed the rules on that one again.

Sometimes I go crazy, I grab from the dirty cup. What's a cup situation? They have two cups. They have pens in one cup, and it says clean. They sanitize pens now. So it's like there's a cup full of pens. You take one. Once you've signed with it, put it into the dirty cup.

Into the next cup. I never tell. Chris, hold on. I'm with Chris. Let's just sod it and put it back in the cup. Hold on. I mean. Chris, you have them sanitizing.

I have them just switching the cups like this. All right, this one's pulling out. To give the appearance of sanitizing. The clean is the dirty the cups like this. All right, this one's With you yeah, I mean, what are we doing the idea of someone still to like, let me well Yeah, I wonder what the day was like. What was the day that you're like, you know what? I'm done with this Cuz like, you know, they tell you like oh, this is the last time you ever play outside with your brother and sister This is the last time you were in your yard. you ever played, you didn't realize it at his time. Like those sentimental like posts, whatever. There was a day for everyone where you're like,

you know what, I'm done with these protocols. Not for me anymore, I'm moving on. I'm no longer wiping down my groceries with wipes. I'm no longer sanitizing my pens after I go to the doctor. I did mine about six months before I admitted publicly. Well, that was everyone's move. We were still in COVID. We would come on the air like,

how dare people go to concerts and then this weekend, like, oh, who you gonna go see this weekend? I live in Arizona and I work in Florida and I can tell you unequivocally that there are plenty of people where it never began. They just go, I remember that first day. Tampa. First day I went outside and I was like,

okay, I gotta go to the grocery store and I masked up and I had everything and I thought, like okay, I gotta go to the grocery store and I masked up and I had everything. And I thought, like I'm gonna go to Costco and it's gonna be empty. That shit was so packed. The parking lot looked like Black Friday. Everyone was in there, nobody masked up. Everyone just running around,

coughing and touching things. It was crazy. God bless America. What was the dumbest thing we did in that? I'm gonna say that, I'm just gonna speak for myself. The dumbest thing I did during COVID was hold my breath, hold my breath while walking by someone in a grocery store. Oh, you meant that?

I thought you meant the most reckless thing you did. No, like I'm a walk. You actually did this? Oh, like I'm not playing that game. Like took the job. Wait, wait, hold on. I wanna hear more about this. You were walking through the grocery store.

And as like, if I was going in an aisle and someone was passing me, I would, oh. Yeah. I don't wanna breathe in. You did that as well? Yeah, of course. A lot of people were doing me, I would, oh. Yeah. I don't wanna breathe. You did that as well? Yeah, of course. A lot of people were doing that. Was the other person doing it to you?

I would walk off the sidewalk onto like grass mounds and a wave from behind, six feet, six feet. And I would go up and things and I was like off-roading just with my legs. I think the wiping down of the milk carton was pretty dumb. Yeah, that was dumb. I was like washing milk cartons

and I like, I just, and then I I was like, oh I missed a spot, I gotta go back and scrub it all over. Well we had the indoor outdoor clothes also. I think that was a common thing. I don't think I ever did that. I think, I mean, I don't like, well yeah, you're talking about taking off your clothes before you even enter the house, right?

Well I was in an apartment, so I would come in and then like disrobe right in the doorway and just walk through and open on my other clothes. How do you think us now with young children that are growing up, when they publish the new history books or whatever that come out in 20 years, because history really only happens in 20 year increments as far as schools go, I think.

Like, it's like, well, this one was printed in 2004, so hopefully nothing happens until 2030, because that's when the new edition is coming out. We're not updating any history between now and then, right? So when this comes out and is like published and your kids are in, I don't know, seventh grade, eighth grade or whatever and it's like, so in 2020, right, 2020, 2020, it's this worldwide pandemic

and no one could leave the house and you had to be in there And then your kids are like you went through this. What's the play? Let's all get on the same page here So we tell her what is the play because worse a lot of video games are we are we like man it was You're never gonna experience anything like this. Hopefully if you're lucky you will never experience anything like this You're like man. It's kind of chill. You know? You know, I'm gonna talk to people, I got to work from home for a while. You're gonna do the 15 miles to school every day kind of thing, but we're still there.

This is the thing, like, my kids, obviously, they went through it, they were in school when it happened, but like, my grandchildren? Oh, I'm gonna tell them, like, wow, it was a crazy time. And it'll be like Mad Max, I'm gonna describe Mad Max. The bodies were on the floor in the streets. We were going around, like, people, one guy had a guitar and he was kinda Mad Max. The bodies were on the floor of the streets. We were going around, like people, one guy had a guitar and he was kinda like

leaning back and forth on the front of this truck. There was a Tiger King. And I mean, you have to talk about how, like the measures you went to to protect the grandchildren, the kids, everything, right? Well, I think the devil is in the details, right? Like obviously the medical stuff was very serious. A lot of people lost their lives.

We're not making light of that. But once we get to like the toilet paper section of the history, that's when it's like, and you had to go, and there wasn't toilet paper for weeks on end, and you had to go buy toilet paper, and you'd have to get a tip from someone, this is where the toilet paper is, this is where the good stuff is,

that's where I had to go to Charmin, that's where the Angel Soft was. In New York, they used to, at the end of every day, they would open their windows windows and take pots and pans and clang them. Oh, that was so annoying. To celebrate the people. Not in New York, but the Italian cities

where they all decide, oh, you know what? We all play the trombone now. And it's like, I would have moved. I would have moved. Honestly, you open the window like, meh, meh, meh, meh, meh. It's like, shut the fuck up. You're enjoying your silence.

I can't get out of my house. Stop it. You guys are terrible with your instruments. Stop it. Content creators exploded in 2020. You're enjoying your I can't get out of my house stop you guys are terrible with your instruments stop it content creators Exploded in 2020 like that's what really happened everyone after that went out and bought a shore mic and a webcam I'm sure Mike and that's when everything fell apart another great year for sure mics and blue mics Oh my god and weights free weights Like it never recovered by the way. I wanted to get a pair of dumbbells for the house, like 75 bucks each.

I'm like, 150 bucks for 25 pounds? No, and then you're like, you know what? It's gonna go back. And it never did. Sure, it never did. Sure must have like meetings weekly of like how do we get the pandemic back. Oh, Zoom for sure is out there trying to like

put out diseases into the world, right? The pandemic made Zoom though, right? Yeah. Yes. You know who made it? Killed Skype somehow. Wait, so you guys are accusing zoom of trying to create another pandemic? not trying to but they're thinking like you know who made a killing off of the zoom

blowing up? Andrei Guadala he was really invested before the pandemic what yeah why get out of here dude man the guy's just smart seems like he knew something oh there, there you go. Oh, there you go. Maybe that maybe it was an inside job Golden State Warriors did this Think Steph Curry knew The luck of Andre Iguodala. I mean seriously, it's not luck. He's shrewd.

Guys, I want to talk to you about something

that I don't think we think about enough on a daily basis, and that's comfort. Specifically when it comes to underwear. Because let's be real, when it's not right, you're going to feel it all day. And that's why I want to tell all of you about Tommy John. Because the first time I put on a pair, I knew my underwear drawer would just simply never be the same. Tommy John just recently sent some

of their product to those of us in the shipping container and this is my first time wearing Tommy John underwear. I was really blown away by the comfort, by the stretch that was available within the design, by the texture. There's a genuine comfort and I can tell that they put in effort to make sure, specifically in our case with men, that we would feel comfortable. Honestly, Tommy John's changed the game for me. I know it's going to be a good day now when I walk out the door and I've got Tommy John on. No distractions, no adjusting, just all day confidence. If you haven't tried Tommy John yet, I personally think you're missing out.

These are the MVP of your underwear drawer, with up to four times more stretch than other brands, something I definitely appreciate. Double down on comfort with Tommy John and get 25% off your first order right now at TommyJohn.com slash Dan with promo code Dan. Save 25% at TommyJohn.com slash Dan. Don LeBretard. Again, started on the breakfast flan. Oh man, I've been singing the song to myself all morning long. Breakfast flan. Stugats. Have you never heard the breakfast lawn man. I've been singing a song to myself all morning long Guts you never heard the breakfast. No hit me with it. Okay. I wish I had some breakfast Breakfast fun

Where can I find a breakfast like that? like that. This is the Don Lebatar Show with the StuGats. Izzy finals in a couple of days. We got that little dead period media that hasn't happened yet. So there's no, no not enough stuff to talk about. So what we're going to talk about is apparently Janice under the cup. Oh, okay. Could be on the move.

That's the thing that everyone's talking about because he is the biggest superstar on the market. The free agency market, not really sexy. Janice that's sexy. And so we've got to find the sexiest location for sexy honest to be sexy and the bright lights. And we start, of course, on Broadway, right? Right, right, with the New York Knicks, because not just because they were recently eliminated,

not just because when Yanis was eliminated, he was seen walking the streets of New York City, but because the spokesman for New York, Stephen A. Smith, said something in regard to Yanis. And we have the quote, but We also have sound of the quote. So here it is. Let's play the song. If you got an opportunity to get Yanis, I don't give a damn

who you have to give up to get him. You do it. That was Stephen A Smith himself. I mean, we mentioned it yesterday. You like the fit. I don't know of a team that's going to say, hey, I don't like the fit of Yanis, but you like the fit of Yanis in New York. You think what level of possibility is this? Let me be clear.

Let's start with one thing and one thing. Oh, it was just we're not talking about what you got to give up to get him. We're just talking about he's here. OK, how does he fit? I think he fits pretty, pretty good. Look, the Knicks clearly need a couple of things. Number one, they need consistent offensive production that's not named Jalen Brunson. Number two, they need someone

who can be active defensively. Ideally that same player. Same player, yes. And so, Giannis fulfills those things. Giannis, on his part, is not known as a closer because of his shooting struggles, because his free throw struggles, who could forget Brick and for Chicken?

Who can forget Chris Whittingham famously saying that Giannis was a number two to Chris Middleton. I could forget it. I wanted to forget it. I never want to remember that. Okay, never remember that one again. But the Brick and for Chicken thing is real, right? And so Jalen Brunson, the best closer in the league,

would in theory be a great fit. Counterpoint, that's what we said about Damien Lillard two years ago. Ah, true. Well, I will say that Jalen is a different style of player, maybe not hunting for threes as often as Damien does, which probably would be a bad thing, right? Wouldn't that clog up the paint if you're the New York Knicks, if Jalen wants to drive all the time, but so does Janice. Look, I don't think

if you're talking about not worrying about who you give up for him, you can't really discuss it with the Knicks because you're probably going to have to give up Carl Anthony Towns, which most people wouldn't really say. It's like not even give it a second thought. Of course you make that trade. And so if you're upgrading from cat to Janice, it doesn't matter if it fits particularly well, you just do it. Yes, absolutely.

And by the way, any other combination of people too, because again, Yanis is a transcendent type player who just had the best season of his career. A lot of people were like, oh, he's passed his prime. I'm like, nope, you're looking at his prime right now. Can we do that really quick? Because again, I grew up in a time where the prime was pretty much detailed.

Like it was explained, hey, you're in your prime from about the ages of 26, 27 to about 32. Like 33 was the high end of it. He's still 30 years old, to be honest. And in today's age, where you feel like we're extending ourselves beyond our prime, you could imagine his prime being well into 35, 36. So that conversation to me is out the window. Well, I mean, that's like Michael Jordan's prime was like,

most people would have gone by the definition, the first three Pete, but he was more dominant in the second three Pete, certainly a smarter, more cerebral player. And the Bulls were way more successful despite not having way more talent than they did in the first three Pete. Yeah, I would say that the prime is

whenever you're playing your best basketball. That's what it is. So it's clear he would be great and welcomed and they tear down the streets in New York. Yes. What about Miami since we're here? They've always been tied to Giannis back when he was available the first time, reportedly. He's got some ties to Bam Adebayo. They asked him, hey, what are your favorite cities?

Your favorite place in the league, you know, this on Twitter. And he, and he responded, you know, unsolicited Florida cities. Yes. But this, this feels like a situation where Miami is just out of its depth, right? Not only when you have the bucks GM saying we're, or reportedly, uh, taking the approach of we're going to tear down the, uh, the, the roster or strip clean the roster of whoever we trade them to Miami a doesn't really have a very attractive roster and B Hasn't really shown the willingness to part with some of those attractive pieces. So it's really a non-starter, isn't it? It's it reminds me of the line from Dumb and Dumber where they break in the Lloyd Christmases

apartment because they're looking for the briefcase and Like most other movies. I've're looking for the briefcase. Like most other movies, I've only seen this the one time. So you're gonna have to remind me a lot. It's the two henchmen and they walk in and the one henchman says, maybe we like make a mess of the place to send a message. And the second henchman, henchwoman I should say,

looks around and says, I don't think they're gonna get that message, right? It's like, we're gonna strip clean to send them a message. And then you look around like, it's pretty squeaky clean. It's pretty clean as is if you're Miami. Look, Bam Out of Bio is not something to sneeze at as far as a starting point, right?

If it's Bam Out of Bio, Tyler Hero, I mean, it's pretty cool. It might as well be an expansion franchise if you're the Miami Heat getting Giannis and stripping everybody else. Right, but the flip side of it is, if you're the Miami Heat, your claim to fame is, we make lemonade out of lemons, right?

We are the ones that squeeze blood out of a rock. And so you tell Giannis, look, we'll get this thing operational around you. We'll get tough guys who are gonna play well. And obviously you're coached by the best coach perhaps in the entire NBA, in Eric Spolster. That's your sales pitch. Unfortunately, I don't think it's the Yanis sales pitch

that they'd have to worry about. It's the Bucks sales pitch where you telling them, hey, this is the best you can do for a Yanis offer. All right, so I don't know how much Yanis cares about repeating somebody else's path, but this was a LeBron path, right, to Miami. What about the Raptors? Well, we had the Kawhi Leonard path there,

obviously won the championship, and there has been a little bit of smoke when it comes to the Raptors and the possibility of him heading there. Yeah, I mean, and there's definitely a connection, right? There's very famous video of the Raptors' war room on draft day 2013 trying to move up because they're trying to get to Giannis, they're trying to get to Yannis.

They're trying to get to Yannis and unfortunately they could not just miss him. And so, because the Bucks take him at, I believe it was 15, I wanna say. 18. 18, right? So, you know, he knows, Yannis knows for a fact, they love him, right? Masai specifically loves him.

Masai's Nigerian. Yannis obviously comes from a Nigerian family. They're right at 15 by the way. There was somebody else famously taken at 18, Masai's Nigerian. Giannis obviously comes from a Nigerian family. They're right at 15, by the way. There was somebody else famously taken at 18, but that's another show. Okay. But you know, you've got that connection there. Masai reportedly helped Giannis get his visa

when he first came over here. So there's a lot of connections, and then obviously the Raptors have a history of going after players of African descent, with you know, Siakam, OG Ananobe, Preston Sichua, just to name a few from the conference finals alone, right? Mixed knees. So I think there is definitely an affinity there.

Again, it would be kind of same situation we're talking about Miami is like, Yannis, are you prepared to go to what is essentially a rebuild? And it comes back down to, I trust the front office and I trust the coaching. Now the difference between Miami and Toronto

is that Toronto actually has some stuff that's a little bit more savory to offer. Is it some stuff, or not so sweet, but savory? Scotty Barnes, right, would be a future face of the NBA according to his coach. Got a good article. Seems like a positive, obviously, somebody that the books would want back. And this was a quote from Brian Windhorst really quick, where he said that the Raptors are

trying to look for a big fish. So you would imagine that, and this is also Doug Smith, who's been at it forever at the Toronto Star. He reported Yanis and the Raptors had some mutual interest. So there is, like I said, a lot of smoke there. I don't think Yanis really cares about repeating somebody else's path. It is what it is, right? He's already done it in Milwaukee, so nobody has the path that he took.

But to me, you're right. It's one of those situations where it's like the Miami Heat. If you give up on Scotty Barnes, what do we really have there? It's not like a Kawhi Leonard situation where he was forced to go over there and didn't have an option. You know, if I'm the Toronto Raptors, you know what? I don't, as I'm trying to see, you know,

all these people are trying to court, they're trying to court John Horst, the GM of the Bucs, say, come on, oh man, we, future Finsley, Scottie Barnes, you know what I don't want them to see? The video of Scottie Barnes rollerblading. Because like, he's like, oh Scottie's like a five tool player and he's young, he's this guy's,

he's the sky's limit, he was an All-Star for the first time this year. And then the video comes out and you're like. One of those tools is not rollerblading, apparently. And this of course is not Toronto, you can tell by looking at it. This is in Florida and this is very much a Florida thing. Like Scott is just sitting on his couch and saying,

you know what, I'm gonna try rollerblading in the middle of a busy intersection. Yeah, one of his teammates posted this and like he actually fell immediately before this video starts. You just totally believe him. He's gonna mess up that face of the NBA. All right, Izzy. Let's go ahead and tee up the next possible destination.

Where could that be? Houston. What? The Houston Rockets give up on their homegrown talent that they clearly have enough of to win a championship just for this guy? No, I'm kidding. Of course, I do think that the Rockets should look into like they've already gone from up and coming team to team that needs a quote unquote like finishing piece, if you will.

Obviously, the honest is more than that, they would have to, you know, probably give up on Jamar Jabari Smith Jr. Probably Jalen Green, probably one of those young guys on the bench, maybe a Cam Whitmore, which I think if you're a Houston Rockets fan, you're saying, okay, fine. Like I'm fine with that. Just keep me, leave me Sengoon, leave me, maybe the backcourt if you want,

but if you want to touch the backcourt too, leave me a Men Thompson. If you want to bring on Giannis, do it, because that is like, win the West automatically. It's like in half-baked when they break the new bikini, they hit, we found a way to post your bill. I saw the movie just once. You're gonna have to tell me exactly what happened.

We gotta bail you out, Kenny, but it's gonna involve selling drugs. I know you're proud of that. And Kenny's like, go, yeah, go, sell drugs. Do whatever you need to do to get me out of here. All right, well, I think we have to get the headlines, but there is a possibility of the thunder. Let's do the headlines tomorrow. Let's finish possibility of the thunder. That's the headline tomorrow.

Let's finish out with the San Antonio Spurs. How about that? You want to put them next to Wemba Nyama and then have like 18 million feet of just length everywhere on the court. They'll allow like 14 points a game. This is the most beautiful version of defensive basketball we've ever seen, no?

So we're moving on from, we're not talking about who they have to give up. We're just talking about the vision. So they would effectively be like the anti-warriors of 2015. Right. You won with all that shooting and not that much size. We win with nothing but size and defense. And you know what? Every once in a while, make a three pointer like that to me is if you want to go ahead and just talk about leaving your imprint

and like changing the game, you won your little championship in Milwaukee, you became the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the Luel Sindor, and now you're going to do absolutely wild with the San Antonio Spurs. That to me is the gamble of all gambles and the move to make. Yeah, I could see that.

I mean, again, it's like Robinson and Duncan being together where Robinson's still a great player, but then you got Duncan coming up in his prime. All right, well, we got one last thing. We got another soundbite from Stephen A. Smith. Turns out he was watching Oddball live. All right. Amino Hass' impersonation of me

is a defamatory abomination of linguistic gibberish. His acting is almost as bad as this ridiculous man's roller-blading abilities. They should both stay off the weed! Look, I've been a colleague of Amin El-Hassan's for a long time, and I don't think I've actually seen him smoke anything. It's not really his drug of choice.

I don't think that was an actual Stephen A. Smith quote. Really? Really? So I shouldn't defend you. I'm going on the limb and think that one was doctored. All right. Look at a roller blade. It looks like a baby giraffe.
