Transcript

00:00Um, but got some respect yesterday and I was kind of happy to see this.

00:04Did you see, uh, they, the guys, the inside, the NBA guys did

00:08their own player rankings, uh, Shaq, Chuck and Kenny, and both Charles Barkley

00:18and Shaquille O'Neal have Tyler hero in their top 50 and I was like,

00:25Oh, pretty cool.

00:28Where's Jimmy Charles Barkley.

00:30Uh, Jimmy was in the twenties.

00:34I think it was 21 for Shag and I think it was 24 for, uh, for Charles Barkley.

00:41But this is crazy.

00:42They were listening to this because the Jimmy thing is not that

00:43interesting, the Tyler hero 42.

00:48Hmm.

00:49A list of the people Charles Barkley has behind them.

00:52Hmm.

00:53He has Tyler here on 42, 43, Donovan Mitchell.

01:01Ooh, 46.

01:04Trey young.

01:06Whoa.

01:0647 Bradley Beal.

01:10Can I just say this?

01:12I like that.

01:14You know, in Cleveland, they looking at that list, doing the

01:16same thing you did yesterday.

01:18Right.

01:21We were talking, we were talking to Tyler, right?

01:23When we were talking to Tyler and I told him, I said, it ain't about the list.

01:30It's about the people that are ahead of you on that list.

01:33Well, that's the thing.

01:35That's funny is like, imagine how many times Tyler hero saw on Twitter.

01:38He's like, I'm in the Donovan Mitchell rumor again.

01:41And Chuck says you're better.

01:43Charles Barkley says you're better.

01:45Tyler hero.

01:46Wow.

01:47I don't know.

01:49I'm going to just say this.

01:51If there was a draft right now and you could have a Mitchell or Tyler hero, I

02:00think it'd go 95% Mitchell, not knock on Tyler.

02:04I'm just saying that's the way that would go.

02:05I would agree.

02:06And the 5% is the hero family and me.

02:10Cause that's my guy, right?

02:12You had Marco, you ever noticed with a local player, how he kind

02:17of picks the soft landing, right?

02:21You always pick the soft landing.

02:24I could say, if I were to say, Ooh, if it's playoff time, I'd take Jordan.

02:30You go, who are you kidding?

02:35You know, I got Jimmy.

02:37The, uh, then Shaquille O'Neal, he had Tyler hero ranked 38th in the top 40.

02:48Above number 39, Tyrese maxi 40.

02:55Chris stops, poor Zingas.

02:57He's got them above DeMont is a bonus.

03:01Woo.

03:01I like Shaq's list.

03:03That's a heat lifer, right?

03:04That's a good list.

03:05It's a good list.

03:05Well, I think that's how you list Shaq.

03:08Huh?

03:09That's how you list Jack.

03:11I think so.

03:11Bonus kind of has that success kind of like Rudy go bear.

03:16Like you give him credit for it, but when you watch it, it's like, all right.

03:22Yeah, I, I agree with you.

03:23I think the, uh, the nerds like him a lot more than the players.

03:28Cause they're just looking at numbers, right?

03:30They're not watching them play and watching awkward.

03:33A hundred games straight of a double, double congrats.

03:35All right, dude.

03:36Where is he in the playoffs?

03:38Exactly.

03:39But anyway, cause like Tyler on most of these lists where we, we talked

03:43to him about the one where he was 87, but he's been mostly in like the

03:46seventies, that's kind of where he's lying on most of these lists.

03:50He got a two hall of famers saying top 40 player.

03:55I'll tell you what, if he's a top 40 player, he don't have business this year, dude.

04:00Well, here's the deal.

04:02You are actually picking a list that some people have made up

04:07all of it.

04:08Legends, legends, not people, legends.

04:13It is not an indication of what's going to happen on the court.

04:18That's just their assessment of the player.

04:24So let me ask you.

04:26So if you're a top 40, does that mean 20 points a game?

04:28Does that mean 20 and 10?

04:30Does it mean 20 and five?

04:31And you know, does that mean 42% from three?

04:34What is that?

04:35What is wait, I answered the question.

04:37Don't welch out on it.

04:39What does top 40 mean?

04:41I don't want to box in what a legend thinks in his mind.

04:45He has Tyler hero above Donovan Mitchell.

04:48What did Donovan Mitchell average last year?

04:49Like 27 a game.

04:51So I don't know what he thinks.

04:53I can't, I can't be in the mind of one Charles Barkley.

04:57He sees what he sees.

04:59And I've always said about Charles Barkley, you know, a basketball

05:03savant, really, you know, for just straight up lying fraudulence.

05:15Yes.

05:16Donovan Mitchell averaged 27 points a game last year.

05:21Year before that 28.

05:22I mean, he's got Tyler, what do you want me to do?

05:25I'm supposed to, what am I, you're going to tell Charles Barkley he's

05:27wrong.

05:27The round mound of rebound.

05:29No, I'm not sir.

05:30Chuck.

05:31I can't say he's wrong.

05:32Now that you have gone all in hook, line and sinker over a list.

05:36So let me ask you, let's do it this way.

05:44If it were switched and then Donovan Mitchell average 15 points and six

05:56rebounds and three assists, what would you be saying this year?

06:02Yeah.

06:03Fat cat.

06:04Okay.

06:05So if Tyler, if, if Tyler averages that, what are you going to say?

06:15I can't live in the world of hypotheticals.

06:17Leroy, what I can tell you is wait, you see what happened?

06:22You see what happened?

06:23He bit the hook and then spit it.

06:25What I can tell you is I am just happy for Tyler hero.

06:31Getting some respect from some all timers.

06:34Cause I don't feel like he does get a lot of respect.

06:36I feel like most people like to dump on Tyler hero.

06:38All right.

06:39And he is, uh, bam was not on, they only released up to 21.

06:47He was not on, uh, Shaq or Chuck's list, which makes me think he's in the top 20.

06:54I'd say he's top 15.

06:55Um, Kenny had him, I believe at 20, Kenny's list was questionable.

07:00Questionable list from Kenny.

07:01They call him questionable.

07:02Kenny.

07:03And where was Tyler on his list?

07:05Not on the list, not on the top 50.

07:0929.

07:11And where was Jimmy?

07:1227.

07:14Okay.

07:14That's why he has DeMonta Sabonis and De'Aaron Fox above them.

07:19And that's why, and that is why.

07:22Questionable.

07:22The list sucks.

07:24Questionable.

07:24I, you know, I'm not saying it sucks.

07:26I'm just saying a questionable list, you know, feels to me like, you

07:29know, he got a little too cute.

07:30That's what I love about these lists.

07:33You never revisit them at the end of the year.

07:37They just go away.

07:38So that means all your little hot takes that happen before the season

07:41starts, they just mysteriously go away.

07:44Not me.

07:44I'm on record, dude.

07:45Everybody can vote, find what they need to.

07:47It's all out there for everybody.

07:49Listen, see, here's the problem.

07:52There are times when you should just slowly back out and just

07:57leave a conversation where it is.

08:00But then you have to do that.

08:01Why?

08:01What would you mean?

08:02Oh, I'm accountable to him.

08:03You can always pull up what I said and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

08:05I, because every time, every time Marcos pulls it up, you know what you do?

08:12You slither out of it like a snake.

08:15He doesn't have any of that on Tyler Hero.

08:16Like I've always had Tyler Hero's back.

08:19Always.

08:19I'm a hero fraud, Tyler Hero, softest, Charmin, never going to

08:23be a big time basketball player.

08:24Tyler Hero cares more about fashion than basketball.

08:26Tyler Hero isn't even as good as cork bars.

08:29Tyler Hero is a Charlotten bum.

08:33I don't like what you're doing, Marcos.

08:35Oh, no, you need to start putting things in context.

08:39Did you not say those things?

08:40I said, people are saying those things and he takes out the lead up.

08:44You know, he gets cute with the editing machine.

08:46What do you mean people?

08:47You know what I mean?

08:48No, I don't.

08:49You do.

08:50Okay.

08:51The Miami Heat are better without Tyler Hero.

08:53This title run would have never happened with Tyler Hero.

08:56Tyler Hero's broken hand is the reason the Miami Heat are in the final.

09:00Tyler Hero can't hold Kayla Martin's jockstrap.

09:03Tyler Hero, turnstile McGee.

09:05Thank God he hasn't been out there.

09:06That's Civ on defense.

09:08Tyler Hero is a regular season player.

09:10Tyler Hero is never going to be clutch.

09:12Tyler Hero is nothing but a pretty boy on the court.

09:18I don't like what you're doing.

09:20You are.

09:20You're no better than North Korea.

09:22You really are.

09:24Did you not say those things, but you're taking out the in-betweens, like

09:27he's taking out the transitions and make it seem like I'm saying those things.

09:30I was reading comments.

09:33You got a whole mixtape.

09:34At what point did you say, you know what?

09:35I better stop doing this.

09:37I don't know that he's going to use this stuff to, to, to

09:40try and incriminate me later.

09:42Yes, you did.

09:42It's crazy.

09:44I mean, every time I say something, you certainly go,

09:57did I, did I walk up to Leroy in the middle of game five last year on an

10:00airplane and just go to him sadly in the dark and just go stinks and

10:06then walk back to my seat.

10:11He on our way to Vegas.

10:13We ain't got time for this.

10:14He just, everybody's sleeping.

10:17Tyler hero.

10:18He just hovered over me, dude.

10:20Till I realized he was there.

10:22It was stinks.

10:23It just turned around.

10:33It's different this year though, dude.

10:34He's got the buzz cut.

10:36He's got muscle.

10:37He's pesky on defense.

10:40Pat Riley was praising him yesterday.

10:44Dr.

10:45Tobacco said, Tyler just heard that made him drop his lime green neon bucket hat.

10:54He is more relaxed this year.

10:56I definitely happier.

10:57He definitely seems like he's got a great spirit.

11:00Let me tell you what happens in professional sports.

11:07You spend your whole life trying to get to a certain point.

11:09You get there, you want to be accepted, right?

11:12Then after like three or four years, you realize you just got to do you.

11:15Cause some people ain't going, you're like you regardless.

11:19And then you get comfortable and that's probably when you

11:22play your best basketball.

11:23So that's kind of how it goes.

11:26But everybody has to get to the point where I don't care what

11:29people think I got to do me.

11:31Pat Riley told, uh, Tim Reynolds and reporters yesterday on Tyler

11:35heroes, preseason quote, I love his attitude, his approach to the game.

11:39He looks quicker.

11:40He looks more dynamic and defensively.

11:43Is he going to lead the league in steals, man?

11:45He's getting his hands on everything.

11:48Wow.

11:49Oh, I don't know about these comments.

11:54This is goosies galore.

11:59You're the only person I know could have literally hot

12:01takes on both sides recorded.

12:06Well, listen, I am.

12:08You can't swing a champ.

12:09You're going to hit one.

12:10I'm not, I'm not swinging.

12:11I just call it like I see it.

12:13I call it like I see it at the time.

12:15You know, at the time, you know, like, listen, maybe Tyler hero can be the

12:20Miami heats version or of, of Sergei Bobrovsky, you know, somebody on this

12:25show was calling him for gold Bob for in a year, a lot of people wanted him out.

12:28But here's the deal.

12:32See, hold on.

12:35In defense of myself, that was for betting purposes.

12:41And I called him, I called him, wait, wait, wait.

12:44I called him for gold Bob and I made a killing.

12:47Did I?
