00:00So I'm not opposed to giving LeBron James a compliment.
00:04Yeah, begrudgingly.
00:05Let's take a listen to what LeBron James said on his uninterrupted podcast
00:09with one of the most overrated players in the history of basketball,
00:12Steve Nash, who stole an MVP probably too from Kobe.
00:15But that's another story for another day.
00:17I'm going to let it play.
00:19We can see if we can pick out the problem with what he's saying here together.
00:23Okay, Tyrone?
00:24Play LeBron James, guys.
00:25Go ahead.
00:26Well, not drafted him, but signed him after the fact.
00:28And I went back and watched a lot of his Wichita State highlights and games
00:33and did a lot of his Oklahoma highlights and games as well.
00:37The first thing I noticed, it's kind of funny.
00:40We always talk about this.
00:41He didn't play like a white boy.
00:43It was very different.
00:45His wiggle was very different.
00:48I'm sorry?
00:49He's talking about Austin Reeves.
00:51Yeah.
00:52So direct quote from LeBron James.
00:54What I noticed about Austin Reeves in college is that.
00:58Who's sitting there.
00:58Yeah, he's sitting to his left.
01:00Yeah.
01:00He didn't play like a white boy.
01:02Yeah.
01:02His words, not mine.
01:03Mm-hmm.
01:04He had a different jiggle to him.
01:06Wiggle.
01:06Wiggle to him.
01:07Wiggle.
01:07We laugh about it all the time in the locker room, me and the guys.
01:10Yeah.
01:12He didn't play like a what?
01:14He said, he said.
01:15He said.
01:15LeBron said.
01:16Yeah.
01:17Like a white guy.
01:18No, no.
01:19Like a white boy.
01:20Yeah, like a white boy.
01:20That's what he said.
01:21Yeah, like a white boy.
01:21He didn't play like a white boy.
01:23Yeah.
01:25Ahem.
01:26Uh-huh.
01:27What's a white boy play like?
01:29Stationary jump shooter?
01:31Set shot Buford?
01:33I'm just wondering.
01:34Well, now.
01:35I'm just trying to figure out.
01:36Now, hold on, Craig.
01:36What is the stereotypical white boy play like?
01:38Well, I can tell you this.
01:39I'll say this out loud.
01:40Not on LeBron.
01:41Jason Williams is a white boy?
01:43No.
01:43He wasn't.
01:44He wasn't?
01:45Hell no.
01:45His tape did look like a regular white boy?
01:48Hell no, it didn't.
01:49I have to agree.
01:50No, no.
01:50There is one rule, though.
01:52In pick-up games.
01:53Yeah.
01:53Go ahead.
01:53If you pick a white player.
01:55Yeah.
01:55Because you just go there, right?
01:56Yeah.
01:56And you go past to him.
01:58And he can't shoot?
02:00Yeah.
02:00You're like, damn it.
02:01You made a mistake.
02:02Right.
02:02Why'd I draft the white boy?
02:03Why'd I?
02:04You're there to shoot.
02:06So.
02:06Yeah.
02:07We laugh about it all the time.
02:09He had a different wiggle at college.
02:11He didn't play like a white boy.
02:13And I'm sitting there as a white boy going, should I be offended by that?
02:17I'm not.
02:18I'm not.
02:18I'm not.
02:19I'm not.
02:19No, I would ask you, though, in all seriousness.
02:21Yeah.
02:21Since LeBron opened the door.
02:22He thinks we all shoot like this.
02:23No, no, no.
02:24I'm going to ask you this.
02:25When you, as a Caucasian man.
02:28Go ahead.
02:28Okay.
02:29You can call me a white boy for this.
02:30It's fine.
02:30Right.
02:31When you see a white guy at a gym or playing basketball.
02:34Yeah.
02:34And then he goes and ducks on somebody.
02:36Yeah.
02:37Do you, right, do you get an extra little.
02:39You're dead white.
02:40I do.
02:41Yeah.
02:42A little extra.
02:43Because historically, my people don't dunk well.
02:45Unless it's a donut.
02:47But when they dunk it on somebody, it kind of gives you an extra thing.
02:50That's why I always say Jason Williams has the best highlight tape of any player to ever
02:55play basketball.
02:56The white chocolate Jason Williams.
02:58Yes.
02:58All right.
02:58You could go back to high school and he was throwing alley-oop to the moss.
03:01Yes.
03:01Like he's always had great tapes.
03:03His highlight tape was like an add-on mixtape.
03:05It was.
03:05So, I am not offended by it.
03:08I just thought it was funny.
03:10And thank God Austin's sitting there.
03:12And Steve Nash, historically white Canadian guy.
03:16What's crazy is, though, about Nash's game, too, was Nash early didn't seem to play like
03:22the traditional white guy.
03:24White boy.
03:24But by the end, he absolutely was.
03:26Here's what I love about what LeBron said.
03:28Because I know you guys all thought I was going to attack him for being a racist.
03:31He's not a racist, right?
03:32Here's what I love about it is, he answered a question I've always had.
03:36If a bunch of black dudes on an NBA team are in a locker room, when the white dude shows
03:42up.
03:42And he's different.
03:43Do the black guys talk about it?
03:45The answer's yes.
03:46The answer's yes.
03:47Is that fair?
03:48Yeah.
03:49That's probably, in a lifetime of lies, the most honest thing LeBron James has ever said.
03:58Yeah, probably.
03:59He don't look like a white boy.
04:01He's got a different wiggle to him.
04:02I will say, when Austin Reeves play, Luka, when he moves, because Luka's not a great mover.
04:08Luka moves like a white boy.
04:09Reeves doesn't.
04:10I agree 100%.
04:12Reeves moves different.
04:13And I want to say to you, LeBron James, who I've had my issues with, I appreciate you
04:18on this one.
04:19Because when I watch Austin Reeves play, he don't play like a lot of white dudes I know.
04:23No, he looks like he's going to break you down, get there, and try to duck on you.
