00:00Well, let's stay in the NBA because Jalen Brown has been under fire from a lot of people for his,
00:04this has been his favorite season of his career comments.
00:08Well, one NBA, former NBA player has come to his defense. Here's what J.R. Smith had to say.
00:13Crazy to me.
00:14No, I don't think, to me, I don't think he wants to leave his team at all.
00:17I'm saying, I think for the circumstances that he was in and being able to stand up to the moment
00:25and excel, I think that right there is enough for him to be like, damn, this was really dope to
00:33be able to be the leader of the team and us still be successful.
00:37Now, I obviously loved winning the chip and being MVP, but as an individual, this is my most successful season.
00:45How could you not say that?
00:46Because nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody expected them to be number two in the East.
00:50You know what I'm saying?
00:51I'm just saying for him, I'm just saying as a person, how could you not look at that situation and
00:57be like for him and be like, how could I not look at this as probably my most individually most
01:03successful season?
01:05Yeah, also, nobody expected you to choke away the first round of the playoffs either.
01:09So, I don't, I mean.
01:12It's a very J.R. Smith take.
01:14Yeah.
01:15Like, if I'm looking for someone to come to my defense, I don't know if I'm like, please, J.R.,
01:19please.
01:20Right.
01:21Go on the Clutch Max podcast or whatever.
01:24We need more podcasts.
01:25But I think if Jalen says, hey, this was the best season for me individually, I don't think we have
01:32an issue with that if he says it that way and goes, but I'm disappointed on how the season ended
01:39and we weren't able to close out and get deeper and win a championship.
01:42I don't think people have an issue.
01:44I think he worded that.
01:46He worded it.
01:47He worded it honestly.
01:48Yeah.
01:48He might.
01:48And I agree with that.
01:49But he has to know I'm going to get blowback from wording it and giving my honest opinion about saying
01:56this is the best season because I was the guy.
01:59There are some who think that he is trying to talk his way out of here.
02:04Do you feel like that?
02:06No, I don't think he's trying to talk his way out of here.
02:08I think what he's doing is basically saying to the and I told you this to the organization, put some
02:15respect on my name.
02:16Like, stop picking up phones and taking calls on you on me getting traded.
02:22Stop giving me the respect that I deserve as a player.
02:27What happened over there?
02:30Is there like a car accident or something?
02:32Did a car drive into something over there?
02:34Wow.
02:34Uh-oh.
02:37This is like when you were doing a stir-o-ing.
02:39What does that mean?
02:40That means something hit too tall.
02:42Something hit like an overhang or something.
02:43This is like when Greg was emceeing the Flying Elvises in one parish.
02:48Yes, it was.
02:49At Marina Bay.
02:50Yeah.
02:51Well, then you have somebody pass out at something.
02:53That was at the gala.
02:55Yeah, right?
02:55Two people.
02:56Yeah, two people.
02:57Greg, was that dull?
02:58I thought somebody passed out.
03:00It wasn't during my speech.
03:02Oh, I'm sorry.
03:03Is everybody okay, though?
03:05Yeah, we're good.
03:05Yeah, was that like a load-supporting beam?
03:07I don't know.
03:07What's going on over there?
03:08Did you see – did you see – who did I show the video from last night?
03:14Sorry.
03:14Who did I show the video from yesterday to last night?
03:17Was that Eamon?
03:18Did I show you guys the video from work, from our studios?
03:21What are you talking about?
03:22So I left the red turtle, parked where I always park it.
03:26Uh-huh.
03:27A guy careened through the light and went into our – flying into our parking lot through
03:37the bushes and everything, almost took out the red turtle.
03:38Oh, wow.
03:39Are you joking?
03:39Almost took out the red turtle.
03:41Yeah.
03:41Oh, my God.
03:42That's a really hard thing to do.
03:44Yeah, right.
03:44Through that intersection?
03:45That is – what was going on with the driver?
03:47He must have made the left-hand turn from that light because, like you said, how the hell
03:51you make that?
03:52He just barely missed it.
03:53I was like, can you please go back and take it out?
03:56Some people just don't know how to drive, man.
03:58I got to see that video.
03:59That's crazy.
04:00That is awful.
04:01I can share it with Mitch, but here it – I don't know who wants to see it first.
04:06I'll show it to the wakey over here.
04:07It's hard crazy.
04:08Oh, my God.
04:10Yeah.
04:10So he went right through the there.
04:11What was he doing?
04:13I have no idea.
04:14Like, people cannot drive.
04:15Literally, our parking lot is – it's not a crazy road.
04:19He almost took out the whole sign in front of the building.
04:22Yeah.
04:22But it's impossible.
04:23Yeah, you should send that to Mitch.
04:24That's Leo Birmingham Parkway.
04:25Yeah.
04:26Wow.
04:27See it.
04:27See it.
04:28All right.
04:29Anyway, so, Jalen Brown, you don't believe that he is trying to talk his way out of here?
04:34No.
04:34Because I wonder if he's trying to force their hand.
04:37Do you – I think it's more about him feeling disrespected from the organization.
04:43For what, though?
04:44Because I –
04:45What's the disrespect?
04:46He's got a max deal.
04:48Right.
04:49He was Eastern Conference Finals MVP and Finals MVP.
04:53Over Jason Tatum.
04:54Right.
04:54Which, you know, that's a gift.
04:58Right.
04:58But he's still always – he always is still – it's Jason Tatum's team.
05:03And I feel like that he feels disrespected because of that.
05:07You said you don't think he's trying to kick his way out of town, Biggs.
05:10I understand what you're saying, but I don't think he's doing anything to fall in line either.
05:14No, no, no.
05:15I agree with that.
05:16And I think what Brad Stevens said at the conclusion of the season, mentioning their record that
05:19we talked about yesterday, 3-11 against the best teams, that they – he is not very
05:25happy working under Brad Stevens in his role.
05:28He's not going to go back to where he was before.
05:30Right.
05:30And I think this is – it makes perfect sense.
05:32I think the fan base is going to be okay with it.
05:35Yeah.
05:35Do you think the fans will be pissed if they trade Jalen Brown?
05:37For Giannis, no.
05:38Some will be.
05:39Some will be.
05:39Will you guys be pissed if they traded Jalen Brown?
05:42No.
05:43Oh.
05:44It's a mixed bag.
05:45Would you do Jalen Brown for Giannis?
05:48Step up to that mic right now.
05:49What's your name?
05:51Sam.
05:51Sam?
05:52Yep.
05:52From here on the Cape?
05:53No, no.
05:54I'm just going to Boston.
05:55I'm running.
05:56Okay.
05:56Here for the weekend?
05:58Yeah.
05:58Or just for the roadshow?
05:59Yeah.
05:59Here for the weekend.
06:00All right.
06:00What are you – is that an absolute Tabasco Bloody Mary?
06:03Yeah, and it's incredible, honestly.
06:04Okay, all right.
06:05Good.
06:05Way to go.
06:06You want one?
06:06Sure, I'll have one.
06:07Yeah, I'll grab you one.
06:08All right.
06:08Okay, great.
06:09He can afford it.
06:10You want him gone?
06:11You saying I can't, Curtis?
06:12I certainly think you can't.
06:15I like him.
06:15You want him gone?
06:17What's that?
06:17You want Jalen Brown gone?
06:18Yeah, I think – well, overtate him, yes, but I think he's got James Harden syndrome.
06:23Just dribbles a basketball, forces shots.
06:25Like, the team basketball just isn't there so much whenever the ball's in his hands.
06:29Wow.
06:30He's a scorer.
06:30He's not a facilitator.
06:31No, no.
06:32I think that's the thing.
06:33That's the thing with Jalen Brown.
06:34He's more a scorer, and he proved that this year, like, where he can score, but facilitating is not some.
06:40So, I would much – me personally, I think Jalen Brown has done a tremendous job, but if you're saying
06:46Giannis for Jalen, I'm all day Giannis.
06:50And I think a lot of Celtics fans would agree because we've seen this movie.
06:56Yes, we did win a championship with it, but it doesn't seem like it's going back in that direction.
07:02Yeah, not to mention the big guy.
07:03So, yeah, it's a big issue.
