00:00In Las Vegas, it's stormy amongst old teammates.
00:04You know what?
00:06I heard the story, and I'm going to say this.
00:13Knowing both of those guys, I think Bam had enough.
00:22And that's what it boiled down to.
00:24Because Bam doesn't have that kind of...
00:30I'm going to get at you, or we're going to talk kind of mentality.
00:38He just doesn't...
00:40I don't see him as that guy.
00:42I think anything that he...
00:44If he has a problem or whatever, he always seems like he'll deal with it with a conversation.
00:48Right?
00:49He's respected throughout the league.
00:52There isn't anybody who does not like Bam.
00:57To me, it just seems like Tyler got up in his feelings and avoided the reality of what his situation
01:02was.
01:03Reality seems to be eluding him a lot.
01:05Because if he were on the other side, he would have the same problem with him that the Heat did.
01:14And so, like, for a person to even get into it with probably the only support that he had throughout
01:27his whole tenure.
01:30Right?
01:31It just seems like Bam had enough and confronted him about it.
01:35And that was that.
01:37Now, like, you can talk.
01:40You can, you know, go back and forth.
01:43But sometimes when people have enough, they need to go ahead on it and show you what enough means.
01:52Yeah.
01:52I mean, like, listen, it was a weird thing on Friday, right?
01:54Because so, to paint the picture for everybody, you know, we're all, you know, if you're a Heat fan, you're
02:01probably watching the game.
02:02And it was Bucs Heat, the first game.
02:04You're watching Yaka Chonis.
02:06And in the midst of the game, Chris Haynes, like, it's like a reunion.
02:11Like, Jaime, Kalel, Tyler, Kaz is there.
02:16Spoh was there.
02:17Bobby Porz was there.
02:18Davion was there.
02:18And you did straight.
02:19You know, you're like, Bam's not there.
02:21That's kind of weird.
02:21You know, Bam's not at the game.
02:23Everybody else is at the game.
02:24He's the weakest girl.
02:25Yeah, but it wasn't like you didn't overthink it, Vlad.
02:30But you're like, it's kind of weird that Bam's not at the first game.
02:33Usually, like, the captain's going to be.
02:35You know he's there.
02:35He's going to be at the first game.
02:37And so the game's going on.
02:40And they interviewed Tyler at one point.
02:43And Chris Haynes is asking, oh, is there any ill will?
02:46No, there's no ill will.
02:47It's all fine.
02:48Now, you didn't really notice on site because we didn't know what to look for.
02:51Like, oh, is Tyler Hero marked up or anything like that?
02:54But, like, right as the game is ending, right as the game is ending, Shams drops the tweet
03:00that Bam and Tyler got into an altercation.
03:03His timing couldn't be more impeccable.
03:05He's just like, all right, Shams is just like, drop this here.
03:12And then, like, as the game and the game was the game was out of hand already.
03:16Like the heat blew out the box.
03:18It was it was it was a you know, it wasn't very close.
03:21And so Chris Haynes comes out and he goes, yeah, we're just getting word that there's
03:25a report that Tyler Hero and Bam out of bio have been in an altercation earlier today
03:30at practice.
03:31I've asked the heat.
03:32They say they're aware and not commenting on it.
03:35Tyler had done an interview already with Ira and Anthony Chang about his time in Miami and,
03:44you know, it did some some of the things that they chased him down and like, hey, man, what
03:48happened?
03:49And he said, my only comment is no comment.
03:53And so then everybody starts doing like this.
03:55Oh, now you want to keep your mouth shut.
03:57Now you got some get right.
03:58Now that's how it went.
03:59Right, Vlad?
04:00It's a what?
04:01Now.
04:01Now you got some get right.
04:04Because guess what?
04:05If it was on the other side, right, he would have said there were some things that I didn't
04:11appreciate and it became physical.
04:14Simple as that.
04:15That's it.
04:16But if you say that, you know, you ain't the catalyst behind that.
04:21So why did Tyler Tyler ain't gonna go up there and say, yeah, I ran my mouth and I had
04:27to
04:27deal with them hands.
04:31That usually that's not how it goes.
04:33Listen, when you're the one that's embarrassed, right?
04:36You're you're trying to make it.
04:38You're going to do everything.
04:39You're probably to seem unfazed or nothing really happened.
04:42So after the mush, because I think it was more of a mush than it was a punch or a
04:47slap.
04:48And I take back the comment.
04:49I thought he was wearing a little makeup, a little like they had done some.
04:52It looked like he had something.
04:54It did like on his eye, right?
04:55Right under his eye.
04:56Yeah, he had something because it was like one side look like clear and the other side
05:01looked like it was you wouldn't know.
05:03Listen, he he whoever did his makeup did a good job because you didn't if you didn't
05:07know to look for it right away.
05:08Right.
05:09You're probably like, oh, he looks fine.
05:11He didn't like have his face came.
05:13He didn't look like Elliot Tapori after Justin Gaethje.
05:15I'm sorry.
05:16He is an intangible.
05:18So if an intangible gets hit or bruised, something's going to show.
05:22Right.
05:22Something's going to show.
05:24So second, he's doing everything in his to to to neutralize what people will be talking
05:32about.
05:32So he went out with his teammates and, you know, he's showing that he's the new face
05:37of the Bucks franchise.
05:39So that picture he took with Jaime and Kalel and their and their significant others.
05:44He's doing the interviews with Sean with Chris Haynes.
05:48And then he did one with I mean, like you said, did one with Iron Anthony chain.
05:51That's a guy that's trying to get ahead of the situation.
05:54Yeah.
05:54To neutralize it and didn't work.
05:56And now it's getting to the youngs.
05:58Yeah.
05:59I think the thing that's interesting, too, before we get into UD and and Dre is one.
06:06One, OK, so this apparently happened at a mutual practice court.
06:10They both have access to at the resorts world where they're staying.
06:14I guess this happened at a high school after a high school game because Tyler has an AAU
06:19team that was playing there.
06:21So I'm so bad that he was there.
06:24Well, I don't know.
06:25I don't because because here's the thing.
06:27There could have been a morning practice like there could have been like if they're sharing
06:31the court, it could have been like, oh, the heat were just rolling up.
06:34If they have if they're both sharing the facility, it could have been by happenstance or Bam could
06:38have sought him out.
06:39We don't know because he hasn't said anything about it.
06:41The only thing we've seen from Bam is he's hanging out with Mike Dyson.
06:46Does does it seem like to be honest with you?
06:50Here's the crazy thing.
06:53Bam don't seem like the type of guy that's going to hunt somebody down.
06:57Right.
06:58I think they just crossed paths and he figured he better be dealt with.
07:06But think of like we all know Bam.
07:09How far did it have to get to where Bam felt like this need to be dealt with?
07:13I think the thing that probably I mean, we read the DMs the day that they came out.
07:18Right.
07:18I told you that Tyler had posted this thing on Instagram on his backup account, which is
07:24already telling you you're on too much social media when you have two Instagrams.
07:27Everybody knows you have no one of KD wanted to hit him.
07:30Right.
07:32And then this fan goes out and he he's like leaks all these DMs that Tyler had had from
07:41that account discussing Bam out of bio saying that, you know, that 60 million to only play
07:49elite defense on quote some nights that I'm the one who needs help.
07:54If I'm healthy, they can't see me.
07:56World word to my mother.
07:58And yeah, yeah, if the huge as if at least there was, I guess, you know, that didn't
08:04dawn on it.
08:05No, I don't.
08:05I don't know.
08:06I don't know.
08:07I don't know.
08:09Vanilla.
08:09I swear to God.
08:10He swear to God.
08:11I don't know.
08:11Vanilla.
08:12But I'm just saying no.
08:13It's like, no, you can't.
08:14Not like he he he I get like he 47 years old.
08:19Word to you.
08:20Yeah.
08:20Like he's mine.
08:22And I don't even say that no more.
08:24Nobody says that.
08:26Nobody says that.
08:26Yeah, he was bringing it back.
08:28He's the same one that taught taught told me cap.
08:32No cap.
08:33No cap.
08:34You know what he can't go from that to word to your mother.
08:37He wants to be Milwaukee's most wanted.
08:39That's what he is.
08:40That's what he is.
08:41But but he's Jamie Kennedy again.
08:44It was this is he's basketball.
08:47Conor McGregor.
08:48Let me tell you why.
08:49Because he's going to go out there, blow out a hammer and be out for six months.
08:54And all this trash that he talking is a move point.
08:56And I don't knock.
08:57I mean, I mean, we'll get to Conor, but they'll not kind of don't compare Conor and Tyler.
09:01Conor's one type.
09:02Here was his rant to to this to this Instagram guy.
09:07Buddy, if I'm healthy, they can't see me.
09:10Word to my mother.
09:10If I'm healthy, I'm the one who needs help.
09:13Who did Cleveland prioritize take it away in the playoffs?
09:17Who did Boston prioritize take it away when Jimmy got hurt and we was the eighth seed?
09:21When I'm healthy, I need help.
09:23Not the other guy.
09:25Word to my kids.
09:26Come on now.
09:27Let's go.
09:29So, Vlad, this is where young, naive thoughts take over.
09:38Because I think he misunderstood what Cleveland was doing.
09:45He think they was focusing on him on the offensive end.
09:50They was crisscross applesauce in your ass on the defensive end.
09:56And so, when the worst defender in the league say, yeah, we wanted to get Tyler Hero, you thought they
10:03was concentrating on your offense?
10:05We all, wait, everybody in the league knew what they were doing.
10:10And he took that as offensively?
10:14Wow.
10:15Even if you are taking away him as an offensive weapon, like, it was so easy to take away that,
10:21like, it was nothing.
10:22It was like Trey Young with the Heat back in the day.
10:24But nobody was even talking about his offense.
10:27No, I mean, like, look, they are trying to take him away.
10:29But here's the thing.
10:30To say that two series that happened where you won one game and one of those series is the biggest
10:38blowout in NBA history.
10:4055.
10:42What kind of a, what kind of a nod of honor is that?
10:45Like, I was the guy they were trying to take away.
10:47Obviously, they were successful.
10:48It wasn't like there was a resistance.
10:49Like, when the Heat were trying to take away Jalen Brunson three years ago and they're throwing everything at him,
10:54at least, like, Jalen Brunson got a game.
10:56You know?
10:57It's like, I don't know.
11:00You know, got it to six in that series.
11:03But he's sitting here and being like, he's right there with the stars of the league.
11:07It's just grand delusion and that the idea that Bam got invested in and got his extension, which he's going
11:14to hit into this year.
11:16But, you know, I didn't have a problem a year ago when Tyler Hero said at the end of the
11:21year where he was an all-star and he played 70 games and he's and he was asked about his
11:26extension.
11:26He goes, well, if it has to wait, I'm cool with that.
11:28It'll just be more expensive.
11:29I'm like, I don't have an answer.
11:30I don't have a problem with that.
11:31You have confidence in yourself.
11:32But the response of it was playing 33 games the next year.
11:35And if you're missing half the games over $130 million, $120 million, $130 million contract, who's extending that?
11:44Who's extending that?
11:45I mean, the reality of his situation has seemed to elude him.
11:48Like, he makes it sound like they all doing that and they all saying those things because they don't like
11:54him or because they prefer Bam.
11:57And that's really not the case at all.
11:59I mean, the Miami Heat organization, from the day Tyler got into the league, all they have talked about, to
12:09the angst of, like, all of us, right, is when Tyler's healthy, he's going to be a part of the
12:17solution.
12:17They have said that every day that Tyler Hero has been a Miami Heat player, right?
12:25Every day.
12:25And so, for him to think anything other than his unavailability is why the Heat decided to move on is
12:40crazy.
12:41And, to use a phrase of my boy Tobin, for Giannis, dude.
12:49Right.
12:50So, that means that somebody valued you.
12:54Yeah.
12:54It's like, hey, was he traded for a bag of donuts?
13:00No.
13:00He was in the Giannis trade.
13:02Like, I get it.
13:03Maybe you were sick of being in trade rumors.
13:05I can understand that.
13:06But it's not like you were in this trade for Joe Blow, you know?
13:12It was for a two-time MVP.
13:14You know what I noticed?
13:15Anybody that was in rumor to be trading for Giannis was going to feel a certain way.
13:19Sure.
13:20Jalen Brown, Tyler Hero.
13:22Somebody's going to feel the way.
13:24Some of us have a better ground to stand on.
13:27Right.
13:28If you're a finals MVP and an all-NBA player.
13:34Perennial all-star, yeah.
13:35I'm sorry.
13:36Like, yes, I can understand.
13:37That goes back to my point of Jalen Brown ever asking the Celtics, hey, did you ever consider trading Tatum?
13:42Well, funny that you mentioned.
13:43That, to me, is you have standing.
13:45If you're coming off a year where you get paid, as Leroy said poignantly, a million dollars a game because
13:50you got paid 30 million and played 30 games.
13:54And you're like, how could you guys pay BAM?
13:57Oh, I don't know.
13:58Because he shows up for work.
14:00Because he's available.
14:01But what about the hate that Tyler and some members of the Heat players had for BAM?
14:08It's not some players.
14:09It's Jimmy Butler and it's Tyler Hero.
14:11And probably more Tyler Hero.
14:12Like, Jimmy Butler, I don't think, was mad at BAM.
14:15I think he was mad at the Heat.
14:17And the Heat execs.
14:18Yeah.
14:18And that was, to me, that is, and I was a paid Jimmy guy.
14:23But that's just old guy they don't believe in, tired of his act, ready to stop dealing with it.
14:29With Tyler, yeah, if Tyler would have kept, if Tyler would have backed, if Tyler would have had an all
14:34-star season this year, played 70 games, I definitely think that he would have kicked around trying to pay him.
14:38He couldn't do it.
14:39His body can't hold up.
14:41His body's never able to hold up.
14:43And think about this.
14:44When you can't, this is not a situation where you're two years off an extension and you're trying to, you
14:52ain't trying to put yourself in any undue injury situation.
14:57This is the year.
14:59So if there's a time to suck it up and play and fight through some stuff, it's the year right
15:06before you can get an extension.
15:07And he played 30 games.
15:09Right.
15:10I don't know why we have to make this, and I think that if you're going at Bam Adebayo because
15:17you think you're more talented than him, okay, say that you do.
15:21What does that do with your ass cheeks on the bench?
15:25What can you do?
15:26How much talent do you have in those cheeks?
15:31What good is it?
15:33What good is it?
15:35The Miami Heat can do squat with you sitting on your ass, which is what he ends up doing all
15:42the time.
15:45Nobody would sit here and say Tyler Hero is a bum player or a bad player or lacks talent, but
15:52he's not available to play.
15:54That's the facts.
15:56And why take it out of Bam?
15:58Pat Riley said, what did he say at the end?
16:03What do we have to say about Tyler?
16:04Just run back my answer from two years ago.
16:09Spoiler alert.
16:09He said that he was fragile.
16:13Until proven otherwise.
16:15Right.
16:16That's what it is.
16:16And you're getting mad at Bam Adebayo because you can't stay on the court and the Heat decide that he's
16:22a safer investment than you are.
16:25I just, I just thought the thing that comes off bad about it, you know, is this is a guy
16:32in Bam and you can call this excuse making for him, whatever.
16:38But from my standpoint, that guy always had Tyler Heroes back publicly.
16:43He always stood up.
16:44He backed him against the media.
16:46He backed him against fans.
16:49And he's like, this is what you say behind closed doors about me.
16:52Right.
16:53This is what you say to not even like people you care about.
16:56You say this to randos.
16:58Right.
16:59And then, you know, who knows what was said in the ballroom that led to him getting snuffed.
17:06So Bam saw him.
17:07He said something.
17:10Bam walked up towards him.
17:13Snuffed him.
17:15People intervened.
17:17Words were said.
17:19Bam went to his girl.
17:21Tyler had to go get some ice packs.
17:24Yeah.
17:25Anybody got some blush?
17:28Some rouge?
17:30You got some rouge?
17:31I just think that it just, I just find it weird that of all the people that you have comments
17:43about,
17:44it's Bam.
17:47Bam.
17:48Even if Bam had publicly said, it's hard to be a one-two punch when one or the two ain't
17:59never playing.
18:00Would be a valid assessment of the situation.
18:04But that's the only thing Bam could say that would maybe get up in Tyler's feelings.
18:11Because I can understand, you know, Tyler would be, why would you put that out there?
18:15But Bam has said nothing publicly.
18:19If they had beef behind closed doors, it's behind closed doors.
18:23I've never gotten along with everybody I played with.
18:26It doesn't happen.
18:28But you keep it professional.
18:31Y'all holla at each other and, you know, on the side, gives each other a call.
18:36Hey, man, you shouldn't have said that.
18:39But if it got to the point where Bam had to confront Tyler, that means he needed to be dealt
18:48with.
18:49And that's the part that kind of caught me off guard.
18:53Because that doesn't seem like Bam.
18:54Yeah, because my theory on it is, and I can't know this, but this is my theory.
18:58Like, at the end of Jimmy's run with the Heat, like him and Bam, like, I wouldn't say that they
19:04were on bad terms.
19:05But, like, it wasn't as cool as it was in the early years, whatever.
19:09I think Bam was legitimately, like, taken on, was caught off guard by this from Tyler Hero.
19:14Like, really, dude?
19:15Like, this?
19:16Really?
19:17I mean, I think Bam, if you had to say, oh, you know, Jimmy said that, I don't think Bam
19:23would have batted an eye at it.
19:24I don't think that he would have been that surprised.
19:25Right.
19:25But the fact that Tyler said it, I think it stung.
19:29And, yeah, I think it led to emotions, and it led to, obviously, it boiling over.
19:37But, you know.
19:38Is it boiling over if you go and hunt somebody?
19:42Or you're just like, this food need to be dealt with?
19:45I think for that, I'll say it like this.
19:47I think for Bam, like, knowing his, like, if you told me this was Draymond Green, I'd be like, no,
19:52that's a Tuesday for Draymond.
19:53But for it to be Bam, there's not many of those things.
19:57I think there was, like, you know, rumors back in the day that, like, he got into it at, like,
20:01Team USA camp or something like that.
20:03But there's not been a lot of, hey, it boiled over for Bam on a bio.
20:06He usually keeps it pretty poised.
20:08Right.
