00:00If you indulge me for a second, I got a couple NBA stories for you,
00:03and one of them involves star on star crime, and I'm always here for that.
00:08Well, I'm looking forward to this.
00:09You're a guy, Giannis.
00:10Yeah.
00:10Yeah.
00:11So Giannis, quite famously, did not get traded yesterday.
00:16Yep.
00:17He's staying with the Milwaukee Bucks, okay?
00:19Mm-hmm.
00:20So obviously, Nick fans thought we might get him.
00:23You know, Golden State Warriors fans thought they might get him.
00:25He did not get traded.
00:27Did you happen to see what Giannis said and how he took a direct shot at LeBron James?
00:35You sunk my battleship.
00:38Did you see it?
00:38I saw what he said.
00:39I did not see the shot at LeBron James.
00:41You did not see the shot?
00:43No, I saw what he said.
00:44I did not see the shot at LeBron James.
00:45That's why I'm so excited for you to enlighten me on the whole Giannis situation.
00:50Uh-huh.
00:50Yeah.
00:51I don't know if you guys, do you guys have the quote you could put up or no?
00:54I wonder if he took it down.
00:55I don't know.
00:56No, no, no, no, no.
00:57I have it in front of me.
00:58Let me get it.
00:59Yeah, you have the quote there?
01:01Yeah, he says, legends don't chase.
01:03I'm sorry?
01:04Legends don't chase.
01:05Legends don't chase.
01:07They attract.
01:08They attract.
01:09Yeah.
01:10And that is a direct message at the LeBron James battleship.
01:14Let's say it again.
01:15What?
01:15Legends don't chase.
01:17Uh-huh.
01:17They attract.
01:18What's the number one thing that LeBron haters always say about LeBron?
01:24LeBron James chased the championship.
01:26They talk about everything about him.
01:27LeBron James went to Miami to join a championship team with Dwayne Wade and brought Chris Bosch
01:33with him because he was doing what?
01:35Chasing a championship.
01:36LeBron James went to L.A. to try to chase a championship.
01:41LeBron James has never stayed put and tried to attract talent to him and win a championship.
01:47He has always chased the title, and that's well documented.
01:50And I love the fact that-
01:51Well, he didn't get Kevin Love and them to come to Cleveland to win that one?
01:54No, he did not.
01:55Kevin Love was already there.
01:56He wasn't in Minnesota.
01:57That's right.
01:58Kevin Love, that's the guy you're standing on?
02:00Kevin Love, who got the big stop on Curry against seven.
02:04Kevin Love's the guy?
02:04Yes.
02:05Kevin Love's the guy?
02:05The third person of the big three for Cleveland.
02:07Kevin Love's the guy.
02:08You're saying that he attracted Kevin Love?
02:09That's right.
02:10Flat-footed white guy playing basketball?
02:12Excellent player.
02:12Kevin Love?
02:13Yes.
02:13Beach boy lineage.
02:14Kevin Love?
02:15Yes.
02:16Beach boy lineage.
02:16Here's the reality that people like you, a LeBron apologist, don't like.
02:19I'm not a LeBron apologist.
02:20You made something up.
02:21It's one thing.
02:22So I'm making stuff up.
02:23It's one thing.
02:23If you can make it up.
02:24When a handsome loudmouth on TV or the radio or the podcast says the things that I happen
02:28to say about LeBron.
02:29If you want to attack me as a non-player, a guy that doesn't respect my basketball acumen,
02:35I'm here for all of it.
02:36That's fine.
02:37And I'll take it.
02:37And I know where it comes from.
02:39People on LeBron's payroll.
02:40People that go to bed with Clutch and wake up with Clutch hugging him and giving him a reach
02:44around.
02:45And I can accept that.
02:46But when a guy like Giannis comes out and says verbatim, everything I've said about LeBron,
02:52you can't attack it.
02:54Because Giannis is one of the 25 greatest players of his generation, maybe of all time.
02:58He's got a ring.
03:00So he's got the championship pedigree.
03:02And he said what I've been saying.
03:04A lot of people like me have been saying for years.
03:07Great players do not chase championships.
03:10They attract talent to come to them.
03:13They are the moon that people revolve around.
03:16They don't go chasing planets.
03:18The sun?
03:20Yeah, the sun or the earth.
03:22The moon is.
03:22Nobody chases the moon.
03:23Nobody chases the moon.
03:24The moon chases.
03:25Yeah.
03:26You know what I'm talking about.
03:27Yeah.
03:27Yeah, he's the sun.
03:28Or the moon.
03:29The earth.
03:29Whatever it is.
03:30You get my point.
03:30The earth or the sun.
03:32Giannis just laid credence to everything I have said for the last decade, which is why
03:37Joe Dumars looked me in the face and called me a basketball aficionado.
03:41Joe Dumars.
03:42Which he did, and I'll show you the tape of it if you want to see it.
03:45No, I want to see that tape.
03:46Because I was right.
03:47Ethan, give me a copy of that tape.
03:48No, no, no.
03:49That's not why I wanted to get it.
03:50Yeah.
03:51I want to get it because currently.
03:53Yeah.
03:54All right.
03:54Are you going to tell me what this record is as a GM?
03:56I see that coming.
03:57I mean, currently.
03:57Joe Dumars is a Hall of Famer.
03:59Leave it alone.
03:59As a player.
04:00Leave it alone.
04:00Yeah, he's.
04:01Joe Dumars looked me out and said, Craig, you're a basketball aficionado.
04:03They have the second worst record in the league.
04:05Yeah, that's fine.
04:05With no first round pick.
04:06Michael Jordan was a lousy owner.
04:08Is he not the greatest of all time?
04:09Joe Dumars won a championship as.
04:12I'm not taking Joe Dumars' hate from you today.
04:13Listen, you got to accept that hate, okay?
04:15I'm not taking hate on Joe Dumars.
04:16If you want to use Joe Dumars as your co-sign.
04:18He said I'm a basketball aficionado.
04:19Then Joe Dumars, not knowing anything about basketball, is part of that co-sign.
04:23No, he's not.
04:23Yes, he is.
04:24Let's get back to Giannis.
04:26He didn't say anything about LeBron.
04:27Giannis said LeBron James is a fraud.
04:29He did not.
04:30Giannis said LeBron James ain't nobody's go.
04:32No, he did not.
04:33He ain't nobody's king.
04:34No, he didn't.
04:35LeBron James is nobody.
04:37Giannis just put words to action.
04:39Uh-huh.
04:40Giannis just said real stars, real great players never chase championships.
04:46Uh-huh.
04:46They attract talent.
04:47Michael Jordan never chased.
04:49Larry Bird never chased.
04:51Magic Johnson never chased.
04:52Isaiah Thomas never chased.
04:55None of the greats ever chased.
04:56It's the clowns that chase championships.
04:59The great players stand by themselves as men that attracted players to come play with them.
05:06Giannis finally said what I've been saying for years, and once again, I'm proven correct.
