00:00Did you see, by the way, the latest edition of Michael Jordan on the NBA on NBC?
00:06No.
00:07Was it as alluring as before?
00:09It was another interview with Mike Wilbon.
00:11I believe it's the same chair.
00:12I think they're just cutting up pieces of that for the rest of the season.
00:15But whatever.
00:16Mike Tirico, excuse me.
00:17What mesmerizing story did he tell this week?
00:20Well, I'm glad you asked.
00:22Mike Tirico asked him about load management.
00:25And MJ, I'm paraphrasing here, said, hey, everybody, get off your lazy asses and play basketball.
00:36And that's why I love Michael Jordan.
00:41He said every day he went out there.
00:44He said, you play basketball two and a half, three hours a day.
00:47He goes, what are you doing the rest 19, 20 hours to get ready for the next time you're playing basketball?
00:55He said, listen, if you physically can't go, you physically can't go.
00:59He said, now I sprained my, my wrist, my ankle, turn my ankle.
01:03I kept playing because I wanted to prove to everyone that I was the greatest on the court.
01:11And I wanted to entertain the fans who were sitting up in the rafters, who had spent all their money to get tickets for that night.
01:19Because Tirico was saying, hey, you used to play 80, 81, 82 games a season.
01:23And he said, yeah, because they were there to see me.
01:26And I wanted to be out there.
01:28I am so with Michael Jordan, man.
01:31You could have wrote that before the interview came out.
01:35Mike Tirico asked Michael Jordan about load management.
01:38What does Michael say?
01:39You need to play every game back in my day.
01:42I want to entertain the crowd and prove I was great.
01:44But I want to hear Michael Jordan say it.
01:46And I saw him say it.
01:48I don't know if it's going to last all basketball season.
01:51Oh, my God.
01:51It's getting better every week.
01:53It's ridiculous.
01:53Ask him who came first, the chicken or the egg.
01:55Would that be interesting?
01:56Yes.
01:57There's nothing Michael Jordan can do that would not be interesting.
02:01Michael Jordan would have played 60 games on average a season if he played in the modern NBA.
02:05That's not true.
02:0660 games.
02:06I'm playing in the modern NBA.
02:07Modern NBA.
02:08You could play in 1941.
02:10Play in the modern NBA, be playing 60 games a season.
02:12You don't know.
02:13This is.
02:14See, here's the problem.
02:16People his age think they know Michael Jordan.
02:20I saw the guys he was playing against.
02:22And they don't know Michael Jordan.
02:24No.
02:24They never, ever have seen anyone like Michael Jordan.
02:30And he thinks, like Solana thinks, he's got Michael Jordan's tenacity.
02:35He thinks he's got that same kind of will to do well at whatever he does.
02:40You have no idea.
02:44Solana.
02:45Crowder.
02:46What these new players do, if they get tapped on their wrist, they fly into section 114?
02:50I mean, it's just not true.
02:51Did you see how fouls know, Solana?
02:53Honestly, I'm not just, it's not extreme.
02:55Fouls were fouls back in the day.
02:57And he was still playing 80 games a year.
02:59Fouls were not fouls.
03:00They were over the top fouls.
03:02And guess what?
03:02And they got their ass up and played basketball.
03:04Nowadays, there's fouls.
03:07And guys got to take care of their bodies.
03:09These basketball players nowadays, by the time they get to the NBA, have run down their
03:16legs more than Michael Jordan's entire career.
03:19Oh, yeah.
03:19More than his entire career.
03:20Michael started playing his junior year in college.
03:22His career at North Carolina and then on the USA Olympic team.
03:26Wasn't putting up 30 minutes a game at North Carolina, Hawk.
03:30Wasn't putting up 30 minutes a game.
03:31Okay.
03:32That would be interesting.
03:34It would be interesting.
03:35No, we can't.
03:36If Michael was born, like Michael Jordan, how he's built, what he is, if he was born
03:40in 98, because now he'll be a part of the culture of load management, where back then
03:45they didn't have it.
03:46Well, I can tell you whatever era he played in, like if he played in LeBron's era, there
03:52would be no debate as to who the best basketball player is.
03:55Because Michael Jordan, if you got to see him up against LeBron on a nightly basis, no
04:00one would have another case.
04:02No.
04:03But if he saw, if he was LeBron and KD and Chris, if he was on, if Michael Jordan was
04:08on the banana boat and he saw all those guys doing load management, would he now be in
04:14the thought process of, hey man, this is what the league is.
04:17I need to load management.
04:18Not how his mind worked.
04:19But his mind worked like that because he played back in the day when it was nasty.
04:22No, his mind worked like that because he's Michael Jordan.
04:26I'm telling you.
04:27Michael Jordan, you said born in 1998, DeMar DeRozan.
04:33Oh, can I hit him?
04:35I will jump on him.
04:37I will stomp on his head.
04:38The league is deeper.
04:39It's only us.
04:40The league is deeper.
04:42There's more talent across every single team.
04:45There's more superstars across every single league.
04:49The league's gone international.
04:51I mean, we're talking about the NBA right now.
04:53The league's gone international.
04:54Michael Jordan was international before the league was international.
04:58I'm not saying that Michael Jordan didn't take the league international.
05:03That was a mic drop moment there.
05:06Coo coach.
05:08Who should have stopped?
05:09Name somebody that's going to stop Michael Jordan from Slavia.
05:13Jaime Haquez Jr.
05:14Yeah, all right.
05:15Headlines are sponsored by Darrell Hyundai, home of the Precito, our lowest price.
05:19Visit them at DarrellHunday or DarrellHunday.com.
05:22So they're just going to keep cutting up that same one interview, right?
05:25I hope so.
05:25I hope so.
05:26That same one interview.
05:27I hope so.
05:28He's going to run it right down our throats.
05:29I hope so.
05:30He better ask somebody a question.
05:33Michael better ask somebody, talk to somebody else other than Mike Teresa.
05:37I mean, somebody points out on the chat.
05:38I mean, you showed up late for work today.
05:40You think you're Michael Jordan.
05:41You showed up late for work.
05:42You think Michael Jordan ever called Bill Jackson and said, you know, I'm caught in traffic.
05:47I'm late for work.
05:48But this show we're doing today, longer than anything Michael Jordan will contribute to
05:53NBC this season.
05:54All right.
05:55That's how you're judging Michael Jordan on his NBA on NBC appearance in 2025.
06:01That's how you're, that's where you're comparing yourself to Michael Jordan.
06:05That's the only time that you might be able to compare yourself.
06:07And by the way, he didn't show up late for the interview with Tirico.
06:10Well, we don't know about that.
06:11And to be honest, Hawk, I mean, you talk about Michael Jordan, like every part of his life
06:17that he dedicates time to, he does it with this tenacity of the greatest competitor in
06:23the world.
06:23Michael Jordan.
06:24That's right.
06:24Oh my God.
06:25That's right.
06:26Yeah.
06:26So why not?
06:27If you want to be a basketball analyst, why not contribute?
06:31Because he doesn't want to be a basketball analyst.
06:33He's shown you over the last 20 years.
06:35He has no interest in being part of the media.
06:37Don't sign the contract.
06:38Don't sign the contract to do some for you for me.
06:41He did it for me.
06:42He did it for Crowder.
06:43You think Michael Jordan wants to be part of a basketball broadcast?
06:49Michael Jordan.
06:50You think he's doing that for himself?
06:53I will kick your ass.
06:56You think Michael, you think he went back and forth for his price to do that?
07:02Well, I don't know.
07:03No, I mean, all I'm hearing is Michael Jordan's going to be part of NBC, NBA on NBC.
07:07Michael Jordan.
07:08Michael Jordan.
07:09Hey, I heard John Tash is coming back for Round Ball Rock.
07:12You think they might have room for me?
07:14I feel like I'm not as well recognized as I once was.
07:19I'd like to get on the NBA on NBC broadcast.
07:22I mean, he dreaded taking that call and he's doing it for you.
07:26And if you can't appreciate it, that's your ass.
07:31I don't know.
07:32I know.
07:32That was good, though.
07:33That was bad for me.
07:35That was awesome.
07:35Thank you, Jimmy.
07:39Thanks, Magic.
07:42I mean, look.
07:44Hey, Jordan, pack it up.
07:45Go home.
07:46I don't need these half-assed little interviews with Tariqo.
07:48I'm good with T-Mac.
07:50I'm good with Vince Carter.
07:51And I'm good with Mello, who finally wore something appropriate on the damn broadcast.
07:55Let's compare Michael Jordan's interview with Tariqo to Solana telling us about his interview
08:02with Jaime Hacquez Jr. a couple seasons ago that went a lot wild.
08:06And let's see who's better at broadcasting.
08:14MJ negotiating.
08:16Ask him for another $100,000.
08:17Yeah, like, I don't know.
08:20Ask him to throttle back on the number of minutes with Tariqo and see if they can meet
08:25me halfway on the per diem.
08:29Lunch and dinner.
08:31He's got, like, 18 private jets.
08:34He's got a naval fleet of boats.
08:38He's like, you know, I really want to get into broadcasting.
08:43Could I do a podcast?
08:47MJ unleashed.
08:48I'm just reading here.
08:52Michael Jordan played 82 games, nine times, only missed 64 games in 15 seasons.
08:57Pretty remarkable.
08:58Yeah.
08:59Damn.
09:00Pretty remarkable.
09:02Pretty impressive.
09:03Maybe this Jordan guy wasn't too bad.
09:05Yeah.
09:10All right, gentlemen.
09:11So, your headlines.
09:14Going right to weather.
09:15Yeah, this is the guy who's saying that Jordan doesn't take the broadcast as seriously enough.
09:21Your headlines.
09:22What happens if you sit down to write a book?
09:24You start with the end?
09:25Ah, I'm going to write a book.
09:30The end.
09:32What?
09:32I didn't write the book?
09:33I thought I had just written the book.
09:38The Florida Panthers lost to the Ducks yesterday in a shootout 3-2.
09:43Man, if only they had Michael Jordan.
09:44They would have won that game.
09:45I mean, oh, I'm sitting here sleeping on a bed of $50 billion.
09:49Man, I've got to get into broadcasting because it's something I really want to do.
09:55I mean, I'm going to write a book, but I'm going to write a book, but I'm going to write a book, but I'm going to write a book, and I'm going to write a book, and I'm going to write a book, and I'm going to write a book, and I'm going to write a book, and I'm going to write a book, and I'm going to write a book, and I'm going to write a book, and I'm going to write a book, and I'm going to write a book, and I'm going to write a book, and I'm going to write a book, and I'm going to write a book, and I'm going to write a book, and I'm going to write a book, and I'm going to write a book, and I'm going to write a book, and I'm going to write a book.
09:57You
