00:00And I want to ask you too, John, about this.
00:02Now, there is this clip going viral on social media
00:06about LeBron James in an open run.
00:09And for people that don't know what an open run is,
00:11an open run is usually these players do this in the offseason
00:14where they get workouts together.
00:16And most of the time they're private.
00:19Most of the time they're secretive.
00:20But there's some that get filmed and they,
00:22oh, look at how good he looks before.
00:24Oh, Paolo Bancaro.
00:25Oh, my God.
00:26So LeBron doesn't usually do these,
00:28but he's doing them this summer.
00:30And there was footage that came from a session
00:32at Crespi High School, actually in California.
00:35And the long video runs for more than an hour.
00:39I got to tell everybody that.
00:40But a compilation showed LeBron missing jumpers
00:44during that offseason open run.
00:46And then another edit showed him making a ton of shots
00:50and being dominant during the same run.
00:52And everybody ran with that bad clip
00:55of him missing all these shots.
00:57So I'm here to ask you guys.
00:59John, you're shaking your head already.
01:01What are your thoughts on this?
01:02Go ahead, man.
01:05I would say this.
01:06The reason why folks is running with the bad clip
01:08is because they're going to attach it to his age.
01:11They just feel like LeBron doesn't have it anymore.
01:13And this is a prime example of why he went to Philadelphia
01:16with all these people on his team.
01:18Because he don't got it.
01:20He got to be carried.
01:21But you got to see the next clip.
01:22The next clip he went for 11 for nine.
01:24It's open runs, for God's sakes.
01:26Some players look very trash.
01:27Some players look very good.
01:29But then when you put them with the rest of the five,
01:31the other four players that got on their team,
01:32they look very mid.
01:33So at open runs, it's a case of hot and cold.
01:37So you just got to see what's going on.
01:38Nobody's taking it serious.
01:40People are shooting shots that you probably
01:42won't see them shoot in the game.
01:43It's just a way to keep their body intact
01:45as is the offseason.
01:47But my question, LeBron, is why are you not
01:48doing these open runs in Philly?
01:50You spent a lot of time in L.A.
01:53A lot of time in L.A.
01:54He was actually at the Rams game, too.
01:56He was at SoFi Stadium, too.
01:57Go to Philly.
01:59It's warm out there.
01:59Go enjoy it.
02:00The Eagles is winning.
02:01I ain't seen about an Eagle game yet.
02:03Come on, man.
02:03Nobody wants to go to Philly right now.
02:05Stay in L.A. until you have to go to Philly.
02:08Wait a minute.
02:09I'm going to let y'all go.
02:10But wait a minute.
02:12Let me look, man.
02:13I want to go full screen for this one.
02:15I kind of have to.
02:18Sometimes the internet make me sick.
02:21Some of y'all are pathetic.
02:23How y'all never?
02:24Nobody makes every shot.
02:26OK?
02:27Either you want it to be real or you don't.
02:30Either you want to believe in the Fugazi he went 9 for 11
02:34or 100 for 100 or he went 0 for 100.
02:37It's a mix of both.
02:39It's an open run.
02:40Deuce are out there playing for cardio.
02:44Stop turning everything into LeBron ain't this or LeBron ain't.
02:48We ain't got no slow news day out here.
02:50The NFL going.
02:51We got Major League Baseball playoffs happening.
02:53We got WNBA playoffs around the corner.
02:55I saw one of their players get arrested.
02:58It's nothing to talk about.
02:59We ain't got to go to how many shots LeBron missed in the open run.
03:03That's like when you bozos come to me and say,
03:05hey, man, they had training camp and the quarterback was 9 for 13
03:09for 170 yards and three touchdowns.
03:11So what?
03:12It's 7 on 7.
03:14Those statistics mean nothing to me.
03:16They mean nothing.
03:18This means nothing.
03:19The fact that people make something out of everything this guy does
03:23is the exact reason why they had to go and release a whole other edit
03:28of him making shots.
03:30Because of you people who made this video, they're missing shots.
03:34Yeah, listen.
03:36Go ahead, B.
03:37Number two, the referee's not out there.
03:39So at the end of the day, you can't really judge an open run
03:42because a lot of plays you probably can call a foul on it.
03:45So you just got to let it be.
03:47Like John said, it's not a slow day in media, right?
03:50We could talk about Justin Herbert and how much he loves his wife
03:53and how much he's sticking in on the field.
03:55We could talk about the Cleveland Browns and them finally winning the game.
03:59We could talk about the Giants and how Jameis Whitson's up here
04:02comparing the team to Crab Legs.
04:04It's a lot going on that we could talk about.
04:06The Raiders are 2-0.
04:08Oh, my goodness.
04:10Listen, Patrick Mahomes finally got a running back.
04:12Like, it's so much we could go down the laundry list to talk about.
04:15Like you said, WNBA players getting arrested.
04:18Why are y'all not getting ready for the playoffs?
04:20You know what somebody said?
04:21Maybe they might be.
04:23Somebody said it would be such a Sixers thing to happen
04:27if LeBron James all of a sudden went to Philly
04:29and just looked immediately washed in 41
04:33instead of how he looked at the Lakers.
04:35And by the way, he's 41 in an open run.
04:38If I'm 41 – let me correct myself.
04:42If I'm in a run with 41-year LeBron, this is cool.
04:46Even if I'm in the NBA, this is cool.
04:49Like, again, everybody who was on that court picked up their phone
04:53post-game and was like, nah, what you doing?
04:55Nah, I just finished this run with LeBron.
04:57Like, bro.
04:58Bro, Kingston Flemings was guarding him.
05:00He was the first-round pick by the Atlanta Hawks.
05:02Like, you know what that means to him.
05:04Nobody's fouling LeBron.
05:06Nobody's playing hard defense on it.
05:08This is for cardio.
05:10This is so guys can build a rhythm until the season starts.
05:14This ain't serious.
05:16Come on.
05:17Come on, y'all.
05:18Come on.
05:19I got something better than that.
05:20I want everyone that's out there talking bad about LeBron,
05:23and I don't defend LeBron like this, but I'm going to do it tonight.
05:26For everyone that's talking bad about LeBron,
05:28I want you to pull up your 24-hour fitness highlight tapes.
05:33I want to see how good you are on that court,
05:35because I know some pickup games, some of y'all can't hit a rock
05:38if it was standing in the middle of a ocean.
05:40So I don't want to hear about no LeBron slender during the open run at this time,
05:44because if you got some slender,
05:46I want you to rewind the tape at 24-hour fitness,
05:48and let me see how you did for the open run.
