00:00And Peyton got away with a grab. Edwards goes in. No good. Rebound Draymond.
00:05That should have been a foul on Peyton outside. Peyton comes middle. Throws to the right corner. He'll right there.
00:09Fires and hits again. Oh, Buddy Love has given Golden State a 22-point lead.
00:1540-point lead, 55-35.
00:19My name is Buddy. I'm Batman. I saved the day. I'm nice.
00:25Hey, Ares. Buddy here. You're listening to Willow and Dibs on 95.7 The Game.
00:30I don't know. I don't know if I can remember anything like this.
00:36Because remember, he introduced himself to the Bay Area sports fan in a wonderful way.
00:43My name is Buddy.
00:44Right. And then he quickly, after a month and a half, became, oh, oh, that's why the Kings fans get so triggered by him.
00:54But three weeks in, it was like, oh my God, Buddy.
00:57Right. So you loved him, and then you realized him, and then it just sat there until Sunday.
01:06And I don't know if I've ever seen a Bay Area athlete.
01:10I saved the day.
01:11Turn a corner, change the narrative, and for good.
01:16Like, in other words, I don't think the narrative can go back the other way anymore.
01:20It's over.
01:21Right.
01:22He is beloved.
01:23He is.
01:24Forever.
01:24Sure.
01:25It's over.
01:26But you look at last night, and I'm looking at the game log right now, and he was 0 for his first 8.
01:32Mm-hmm.
01:32And he didn't care.
01:34Here are the distances of the shots he missed.
01:37But my energy when he was 0 for 8?
01:39You keep doing you, Buddy.
01:40I was like, it's sad.
01:41I'm with you, because they were up 10.
01:42I saved the day.
01:43Yeah.
01:43They're up 10.
01:44If they were down 14, it might have been different.
01:46But I'm with you.
01:47I'm never going to turn on Buddy, but I'm looking at the shot distance of his misses.
01:5322, 3-footer, 0, 1, 13, 0, and 2.
02:00Correct.
02:01So he missed 4, I'm sorry, 5 shots inside of 3 feet.
02:05Absolutely.
02:06That's right.
02:06Jimmy Butler, after the game, was like, use the backboard.
02:09Right.
02:09That's what it's there for.
02:11And he calls him Butters, too, which I love.
02:15That's why Buddy said it.
02:16My name is Buddy.
02:17That's right.
02:18He goes, why are you calling me Butters?
02:19He goes, Buddy is short for Buddies.
02:21He's like, no, it's not.
02:22My name is Buddy.
02:22My name is Buddy.
02:23Which is hysterical, because no, it's not.
02:25No, your name is Shyvana.
02:26Exactly.
02:28Your name is actually not Buddy or Butters.
02:32My name is Buddy.
02:33I'm Batman.
02:34Oh, God.
02:34That dynamic is, it's a movie.
02:36It is.
02:37It's a freaking movie.
02:39They finish the entertainment, and then they come out and do the after show.
02:43Right.
02:43It's incredible.
02:44And the after show is almost as good as the actual movie itself.
02:47Well, we're going to play the whole thing for you a little bit later on in the show,
02:50because it dawned on me on the way in today that a lot of Warrior fans, first of all,
02:56you might go watch this at a public place, or when the game ends, you turn it off.
03:03You turn it off.
03:05Or your wife turns it off.
03:06You don't know what happens after the game.
03:09I'm driving in talking to my parents today.
03:12Oh, how about those Warriors, Mike?
03:14Yeah.
03:15Pretty amazing, right?
03:16And then I go, hey, did you guys see Jimmy and Buddy after the game?
03:20No.
03:21I go, do you even know at all about the dynamic that got created there over the last few months?
03:30No.
03:31They were 100% unaware that this even happens.
03:38They didn't even know, let alone hear it.
03:40But they're in their 80s.
03:42But still, you're hearing as well made.
03:44But I think there are a lot of people out there that you don't hear this.
03:47Right.
03:48And it's unbelievable.
03:49It's beyond hilarious where the dynamic between the two and even the Steph stuff where, okay,
03:56he's the petty king and he's wearing sunglasses.
03:58You have to really be dialed in to understand why he wore sunglasses in game seven.
04:04To really understand the reference.
04:05But these two, if you just watch the postgame.
04:08These two.
04:09These two.
04:09That should be the name of their show.
04:11Dude.
04:11These two.
04:12These two.
04:13Like Butters and Butler.
04:14Right.
04:15Yeah.
04:15And part of it is so funny because now that Buddy Heald is like, Buddy, dude.
04:21I'm like, you are.
04:23My name is Buddy.
04:24You're kind of lightweight carrying the team.
04:26And so Jimmy Butler has to sit there and begrudgingly like give him his flowers.
04:30But not really.
04:31I've never seen Granny and Lucas so excited in my life for a new drop.
04:35This is going to absolutely run our station.
04:40My name is Buddy.
04:41Which one?
04:42For the rest.
04:42My name is Buddy.
04:43That's it.
04:44That's it.
04:45That's the one.
04:47I'm Batman.
04:47Well, that's good too.
04:49I'm not saying.
04:50I saved the day.
04:50I'm nice.
04:51They're all good.
04:52He's got four already on the board.
04:54Perhaps.
04:56It's.
04:57Oh, God.
04:58He's amazing.
04:59He's.
04:59It's over.
05:00He is beloved forever.
05:02Forever.
05:02You are Travis Ishikawa.
05:05You are Cody Ross.
05:06You are.
05:07God.
05:08Who else?
05:08I mean, do we want to go back to, you know, people who had like rando plays for the Niners
05:16and Super Bowls in the 80s?
05:18In the 90s.
05:18Yeah.
05:19Like, is Marco Scudero too much?
05:20No.
05:21Absolutely.
05:21No, it's not at all.
05:22I mean, that looking up at the sky with the rain coming down.
05:25Yeah.
05:26Yeah.
05:26Like, all of the, like, and maybe we're actually doing Buddy a disservice because this is an
05:31all-time three-point shooter in many respects.
05:34So, I don't want to make him sound like he was picked up off the scrap heap as a DFA and
05:40suddenly came out here.
05:41But that's it.
05:42Like, that's it.
05:43I don't care where this goes next.
05:45If the Steph injury leads to them losing this series, that's it.
05:49Buddy Heald is cemented in this town.
05:51He, and I don't want to, like, go too far over my skis with the comp, but he has a little
05:56bit of Hunter Pence for me.
05:58Because Hunter as a personality, the Hunter Pence personality, he came in with his scooter
06:03and his bug eyes and his, you know, triple contact base hit.
06:08Good one.
06:09I mean, Hunter Pence.
06:10Hunter on the freaking bay.
06:11Hunter Pence as a player is a lot like Buddy Heald, where if you look at Hunter's career,
06:16it's like, he was better, like, as an overall baseball player than I think that many people
06:21give him credit for.
06:22Oh, he was a very, very good player.
06:23And Buddy Heald, I think, is a very good player.
06:25Well, even...
06:27When you look back at his career, if you're talking about him being a top eight three-point
06:30shooter of all time, and right now he's 15.
06:33But it's just that.
06:34It's just the three-point shooting.
06:36Right.
06:36It's not, like, what's amazing about Buddy Heald in these last few days is even the stuff
06:43where, like, okay, you missed a shot, you wore the wrong shorts, like, the most Buddy
06:48stuff ever.
06:49Right.
06:49You've also seen that there is some heady basketball in there, too.
06:56Like, there was actually defense.
06:59There's defense.
07:00And there are plays where he's running them correctly and getting in the right spot.
07:06I know Jimmy makes fun of him for not being in the right spot.
07:08I'm not saying he's suddenly now Draymond Green and he's thinking his way.
07:13And through the Matrix and the rest of the world can't keep up.
07:16I'm not saying that.
07:18But the reputation of Buddy Heald and, in fact, what he even plays up, like he plays into
07:24the narrative, is not 100% true.
07:28Or it hasn't been over the last week.
07:31At least that, you know?
