All right, let's do some postgame we bring juju aboard here juju is decked out in his Celtics gear I'm guessing that's a Ray Allen Jersey there or is it Paul? Is that Paul Pierce Ray Allen? Who is that? Yeah, it's a Paul Pierce jersey. Today is not a great day on the Juju Gotti Ranch. Now, when you see, speaking of Paul Pierce, when you see Jason Tatum leave the game in the wheelchair, isn't your first thought, okay, he's gonna be back in a few minutes?

I mean, actually, it wasn't my first thought. My first thought as a Buffalo Bills, Josh Allen fan, it was like, oh, first time of the Celtics fans. Patrick Mahomes does this to us every year. And so my heart is actually prepared and hardened for these moments, but it still hurts so, so very bad. We've spent much of the show trying to get inside the head of a Celtics fan wondering like

is this window shut now if the worst fears are realized that Jason Tatum has a torn Achilles, which is what a lot of people are theorizing. You're our resident Celtics fan. I'm pretty sure you think the series is over, right? Yes. Is everything over? Everything is dark, brother. And I want to give credit to the New York Knicks. Jason Tatum's injury, although very unfortunate, that wasn't the deciding factor to that game. Those guys played their ass off. They've been doing that thing the entire series. So I don't want the Jason Tatum injury to distract from their salutes.

But yeah, bro, the future looks bleak now. Poor Zynga seems to have put out his farewell Instagram post the other day. And the new management, the new ownership, I mean, they'll never be able to take 2024 away from us. Sheesh. I do want to throw in a quick fine. You did say you feel me. That's true. That's true. I don't want to- Ah, dang it. Yeah, my bad. I'm just trying to-

True. Two dollars. Just trying to keep you accountable. That's true. This is a bad $6 billion that was spent. If I could just go ahead and judge this one right off the bat, bad $6 billion, too much. Right. Ju-Ju, you got a top five for us today?

Yes, I have a top five for you today. This was definitely in lighter times, like trying to bring some fun to the segment. Top five athletes that would not have survived the social media era while they played. Okay. I was brought to it because I see Ant-Man doing a lot of stuff, and I see a lot of players.

I'm like, dang, Shaq and Charles Barkley. They'd be saying a lot of crazy stuff. So yeah, top five athletes that wouldn't have survived the social media era. OLI, Lamar Odom. He was kind of in there, kind of not, but it wasn't really hitting why he was there. What was I missing the other day when Lamar Odom was doing the pregame ceremony in Vegas

for the Knights and Oilers? Like is Lamar Odom from Vegas guys spent a lot of time. He's a Vegas guy He's a Vegas man. Why the time spin on the ranch? Somebody must have canceled last minute though for that to your point carrot top. Oh Align number two, Paul Pierce. I fear he would have told the truth one too many times back in those days. He's already stepped into it a couple of times

in the social media age. Juju, we don't actually believe that Paul Pierce walked 20 miles to work the other day, do we? No, I think he had a Jeffrey from a Fresh Prince situation. Like he did a little bit, then hopped in the cab, threw some sweat on him like, oh man, I walked the other days in my house. But hey, it's all for the camera,

content over everything. Number five, Carl Malone. Oh boy, spicy. I-Y-K-Y-K. Number four, Tim Hardaway. Oh. IYKYK. Number three, Shaq.

Damn, you think so? Worse than them? Shaq under Karl Malone. Yeah, I mean, I feel like he's thriving under this situation. It's not like he's inconspicuous. I think people know when Shaq enters a room. Has Shaq ever had any public embarrassments?

Little things here and there, like public split ups and whatnot, but no. Whatever, that's real life stuff. He kind of has that Charles Barkley vibe to him. What are we really going to say about this guy? No, but at least Barkley, like Barkley, when he was a player, he'd been arrested for beating people up.

Remember, he threw a guy off a balcony one time, and the judge said, do you regret your actions? And he says, I only regret it was just the second floor. What would Judge Assel say? About what? About what? What would your ruling be? Yeah, what would your ruling be?

On Sir Charles. Oh, I would rule, I mean, it depends on what the guy did, but I think I'm ruling. Barkley, it's okay, guy lived. Round up. Okay. With prejudice. Number two, the worm, Dennis Rodman.

Do you think Rodman would have been active on social media as a player, yeah? You think so? I think people around him would have been active in catching him in a lot of shenanigans. Oh yeah, gotcha, gotcha. Yeah, him would have been active and catching him in a lot of shenanigans Yeah, he was partying and like people would have been complaining about like how he's not taking the game seriously I like harden the off-field antics. So like I don't think like that would just be like a drop in a bucket How about the story is like that like when he was I think was when he's with the Lakers and it's toward the end

Of his career where he played the whole game He wouldn't shower and he just goes straight to the club all stankin with the girlsakers, I think it was toward the end of his career, where he played the whole game, he wouldn't shower, and he'd just go straight to the club all stankin' with the girls all over him. It's gross, right? Very gross. And number one, the answer, Allen Iverson. That's a good one.

I think my boy would have had one good season, and he would have been outta here. That's a good one. But salute to him. Although, also, it's not a great day for me at all as a Celtics fan so this is definitely not warranted from me. But with all the news that broke yesterday I have a victory lap. I could take a little bit of round right now.

I sent a video to the video team. Video team brother Lewis can you cue that guy up for me please. I see that Nico will come out smelling like roses at the end of this. We saw the game last night, I don't think he was ogling or ogling Luka in the beginning of the game. I think he was brave enough, number one, to take his ass out there and sit mid-court when a lot of GMs would have crept in the skybox and been unseen and unheard of.s would have crept in the the skybox and and been unseen and unheard of. He sat up that

right there at the half court line and look at that Luca like look at Luca fat **** over there. That's what I think he was thinking. He wasn't I think the Mavericks are going to come out of this on top at the end of the season. I am now

a Dallas Mavericks fan because of this. Everybody hate Nico. I salute Nico. I am now a Dallas Mavericks fan because it is everybody hate Nico. I salute Nico. I see what you saw, Nico. Look at you, Juju. You feel me? Sometimes even a garbage can gets a stake. Two dollar fine, though. We feel you. Oh, dang it. Four dollars in one episode. OK. Also, last. Right. Also, lastly, potentially interested, I don't know if that could count as news or journalism. I'm with my brother, Greg Cody side, potentially interested in the Miami heat is kind of like

helps prevent against the coronavirus. You know, it's like, what are you really saying? But salute to your news sources. Thank you. Thank you. Top notch. Juju, let's do some polls. What is everybody saying out there? Yes, sir. Poll number one, bigger story. Nick's up three one or Nico gets the number one pick.

62% of the audience says Nico gets the number one pick. Yeah. Yeah. I'm into it. Do people forget that Mike Ryan broke the messy to Miami story? 83% of the audience says yes. Wow. Does that insult you, Mike Ryan broke the message to Miami story. 83% of the audience says yes. Wow. Does that insult you, Mike Ryan? I mean, it was a pretty big scoop and it's not like I kind of got lucky and I just crept onto the scene. I mean, this was a year and a half of very thorough reporting. Yeah.

And Fabrizio's face, um, is the rehearsal, the most ambitious show in the history of television. 51% of the audience says, yes it is. Wow, that's neck and neck, Juju. Right, that's a crazy show. Like you said, I tried to get my girl in on the show
