00:00The opening day NBA lines are out.
00:04Just curious where you think the lines are going to be
00:07because the opening day matchup, the one that is of interest to me,
00:12Sixers at the Knicks.
00:14LeBron and the Sixers at the New York Knicks defending champions.
00:21What do you think the line is for that game?
00:25Oh, eee.
00:27Eee, Knicks got to be favorite at home, but not by a lot.
00:33Six.
00:35Solana?
00:37I like that.
00:38Knicks minus seven.
00:40It is Knicks minus four.
00:43Mmm.
00:44Knicks minus four.
00:46That is a good game.
00:47How about the late game that night?
00:50OKC, a guy tough to root for.
00:53This SGA, painful, makes you sweat.
00:57OKC at San Antonio.
01:01Put my headband on because I'm going to be sweating and just distraught by how he plays ball.
01:08Speaking of SGA, San Antonio, same.
01:13San Antonio five.
01:15Man, do you guys not remember SGA the last couple of years?
01:20Just how brutal it is.
01:22No, I don't disagree with you.
01:24Foul baiting nonstop.
01:25I disagree with what you said.
01:26You said I wouldn't be able to root for a superstar like SGA.
01:31I said I'm happy I don't have to root for a superstar like SGA.
01:36If he was on the Heat.
01:37The MVP?
01:38The MVP we're speaking of.
01:40Yes.
01:40I am happy I don't have to root for him.
01:43I'd rather root for Giannis or Bain.
01:44But you're making it sound like he plays like Bob Cousy.
01:48I mean, it's not as bad as you're making it sound.
01:51I get it.
01:51He's a free throw merchant.
01:53There's not a lot of flash and razzle dazzle.
01:57There's no flair.
01:58I got you.
01:58I'm with you.
01:59He's a boring, a boring superstar.
02:02His personality is whatever.
02:05Oh, I'll agree with that.
02:07And his game is centered around getting to the free throw line.
02:12And there's nothing wrong with that.
02:13No, obviously it's working for him.
02:15Right.
02:15You can't debate it.
02:17I'm not trying to diminish his game.
02:19I'm just saying that what works for him is not something I would want to root for.
02:25I get it.
02:26I'd rather root for offense rather than defense.
02:29Crowder likes a defensive game.
02:30I like an offensive game.
02:32Like, I get it.
02:33I like watching Wemby because I don't even mind when he's on defense.
02:38Right.
02:38He's so exciting.
02:40I like watching him even when he's on defense.
02:42I understand what you're saying.
02:44I just thought you went a little overboard with the way that you made it seem like it would be
02:49a chore to have SGA on your team.
02:52Yeah.
02:53I'd rather have Giannis.
02:55Oh, I would, too.
02:57Spurs.
02:58Would you rather have SGA or Giannis?
03:00Would I rather have Bam and SGA or Bam and Giannis?
03:04Yeah.
03:06Y'all are crazy.
03:08SGA.
03:09What?
03:11What are you talking about?
03:13I'm talking about the former MVP.
03:16Two-time MVP.
03:17Giannis Antetokounmpo.
03:19Two-time MVP.
03:20The MVP that's probably going to win another three before his career is over.
03:24Are you kidding me?
03:26Well, we thought that with Giannis as well.
03:28We thought that with the Joker as well.
03:31How many guys have won back-to-back MVPs, won a title, and then haven't been able to replicate that
03:39MVP caliber season or haven't won it again and haven't won another title?
03:42We've done this time and time again.
03:45So, to just assume SGA is going to finish his career with five or six MVPs, I'm just saying pump
03:50the brakes on that.
03:52SGA is 28.
03:54Giannis is 31.
03:56So, you're telling – so, for – moving forward in the NBA, Giannis is going to have a better run
04:03than SGA.
04:05I think that's a 50-50 proposition.
04:08I don't think it's a slam dunk either way.
04:11SGA – and I'm – now, Giannis is a heat.
04:14I love Giannis.
04:15Now, it's just now we're – we're called splitting hairs.
04:19SGA's game is going to continue.
04:22That little left elbow jerky, herky-jerky, boring basketball he plays, he can do that for another 10 years.
04:29Eh, you know what?
04:30The only thing that could stop – the thing that could stop SGA is a referee change.
04:36Like, honestly –
04:38Bingo.
04:38Stop calling games as tightly as you're calling them.
04:42Like, you can't do that with Giannis' game.
04:44The only thing that could stop Giannis is someone getting in his way, which is difficult to do.
04:50Like, SGA literally could be – I don't know, maybe eighth guy off the bench if they just stop calling
04:57games.
04:57SGA is going to be 13th in the –
05:07So, they've changed the rules, and SGA is –
05:10Sometimes you just see a snook.
05:11He's just circling your hook.
05:13Like, the snook is circling your hook.
05:18SGA is coming off the bench in three years.
05:22No, but I think – I don't think it's a slam dunk answer.
05:25I think if I said to you, who's going to have the better next five seasons in the NBA,
05:31Giannis Antetokounmpo or Shane Gilgis-Alexander, I don't think it's a slam dunk that it's SGA.
05:37You called him Shane?
05:39What is it?
05:40Shay.
05:40Shay.
05:41Oh.
05:42Well, I called him Shane because that's actually what I thought it was.
05:45It wasn't even a mistake.
05:48First name was Shane?
05:50I didn't, but I did it when I said it.
05:53I'm out of practice because it's not NBA season.
05:55He would have never won an MVP.
05:57His name was Shane.
05:58Shane Gilgis.
06:01He's going to have a better five-year stress than Giannis.
06:04The odds – if Vegas made odds, yes, he would be the favorite, but I don't think it's a slam
06:12dunk.
06:13No, the boring – and I'm not saying I don't enjoy – I actually took the side.
06:18I don't enjoy watching him play because it's – it's boring.
06:22He gets on that little elbow and he dribbles and jerks and hurts and makes people push him.
06:26His game is not pretty, but it's very efficient and he can do that for the next 12, 15 years.
06:35Unless they stop calling the game so tight.
06:37And he's six off the bench, maybe seven.
06:39You're not allowed to push anybody when they're shooting.
06:43You're not allowed to land under their feet.
06:45What rule do you want to change?
06:47They're leaning in the – you know what?
06:50I'd be happy getting rid of pump fakes.
06:52So no more pump fakes.
06:55Now that D-Wade is retired, I'm happy getting rid of pump fakes.
06:58I was going to say D-Wade's older game was very similar to SGA.
07:03That's right, and we enjoyed it, and now I'm ready to move on as a league.
07:07All right, we've got to take a break.
07:08In Miami, we don't drink coffee.
07:10We drink cafecito in our pastries.
07:12We call them pastelitos.

07:28I'm just thinking you could put a NBA preview tag on like the podcast,
07:33and it's me suggesting Shane Gillis Alexander is not as good as Giannis,
07:41and then also getting rid of pump fakes in the NBA.
07:44You
