00:00You just mentioned the starting five.
00:02You think that's the best starting five in the Eastern Conference?
00:06Yes, and I'm a Knick fan.
00:09Healthy? 100%? Yes. Yes.
00:14But, Big Sills, you've got to win with more than talent.
00:18We saw this with the Kobe, Shaq, Gary Payton, Carl Malone Lakers,
00:25you know, in 2004 when they lost to Detroit.
00:29But that starting lineup, Big Sills, is as good as you're going to see.
00:33And their depth, with KCP, with Dean Wade,
00:37no, with Adem Bona, who came on second half of the year,
00:40with Anthony Simons, that's a really good second unit.
00:44Let me say this, and I mean this,
00:47this is the best Philadelphia 76ers team since the faux, faux, faux,
00:52Moses Malone 83 Sixers.
00:54They've never been this close, Big Sills.
00:57They're right there.
00:59And I'll tell you right now, sign me up for that I-95 rivalry
01:03between New York and Philadelphia.
01:05Because when you've got Maxi, Edgecombe, Brown, LeBron, and Embiid,
01:09on the other side you've got Brunson, Hart, Bridges, and Noby, and Cat,
01:15that is what they call cinema.
01:19I'm absolutely here.
01:22How about the relationship, you think, between Nick Nurse and LeBron?
01:26You know, if you think about the coaches that he's played for,
01:30outside of Eric Spolstra,
01:31you could really look at some of those guys as being B-plus coaches
01:35that he's had as head coaches.
01:37I mean, Coach Brown, obviously,
01:39I think you look at him today in a different light than when you looked at him
01:42when he was in Cleveland.
01:44Now he's got Nick Nurse, who's won an NBA championship.
01:47How do you think that dynamic works?
01:49And do you think that was one of the major dynamics also
01:52that attracted LeBron to Philadelphia was he's going to a place
01:57where a coach has won an NBA championship?
02:00Well, I think the whole clutch sports thing has got to be mentioned.
02:04And I think the fact that they have Tyrese Maxey there.
02:06I think Tyrese Maxey may be the biggest reason why.
02:09And Rich Paul wanted to get his hands on another franchise
02:12and it'd be clutch sports.
02:13I think that has a major reason of why LeBron went there.
02:18Let me tell you this.
02:19I've thought for a long time that Nick Nurse is a top five coach in the NBA.
02:23I really do.
02:25And what he did with Toronto was outstanding.
02:28But he hasn't really gotten really far in the playoffs since then.
02:31But he's dealt with injuries.
02:33What I'm going to watch for big sales is how they manage the minutes.
