00:00But Giannis, he spoke to the media.
00:02He was, I believe, the lone he player to do it in a scrum
00:05because basically everybody else talked on Monday.
00:08I think the only guy who's skating by, and I've got to be honest with you,
00:12he probably loves this.
00:13I think the only rotational player is Wiggins.
00:16Yeah, I don't think I've heard anything Wiggins said so far.
00:19Don't think Wiggins has anything to say.
00:20But it was funny because all of the quotes from Andrew Wiggins
00:23were pretty cocky at media day.
00:26Andrew Wiggins was peacocky.
00:28He goes, this is a championship team.
00:30We absolutely could do special things.
00:31And I was like, whew.
00:33And I'm more fired up just reading the quotes
00:35because I get to read it like me instead of Andrew Wiggins,
00:37who I know said it like very calm, very like matter of fact
00:41the way Andrew Wiggins does in his calm demeanor.
00:44So I was like, look at Andrew Wiggins.
00:48He's out here being like, finally have a chance to win a ring again.
00:51I love this.
00:52So he's out here very confident,
00:55but I don't think anybody's talked to him at meetings.
00:57Maybe he'll speak today.
00:58They've got to talk to somebody.
01:00And they'll probably talk to like, if I had to guess,
01:02who's left, Conwell, Wiggins.
01:05I think that's kind of it.
01:07Vlad Golden.
01:08Who?
01:09Like FAU homecoming story.
01:11Like I don't know who else would, but Giannis spoke yesterday.
01:14He spoke for like 14 minutes.
01:15And let me tell you about this Giannis.
01:18He could talk.
01:19He could talk.
01:20And yesterday.
01:21You love the accent, don't you?
01:22Oh, do I?
01:23Do I ever.
01:24He charmed the hell out of you, didn't he?
01:25Charming, dude.
01:26Charming.
01:27So he had a comment that everybody went crazy on because that's what NBA social media does.
01:33And he had this, he had this quote about leaving his mark with the Miami heat.
01:37But then like in the end of there, he kind of just went a little, like a little, he snuck
01:42one in there.
01:43And everybody just went.
01:45And so like.
01:46They pulled a scooby-doo.
01:47Right.
01:48They scooby-dooed it.
01:49What did he say?
01:51And I didn't think it was that big a deal, but you know, people make things a big deal.
01:56So here it was.
01:57This was Giannis on leaving his mark with the Miami heat.
02:01It's kind of hard.
02:02You know, I've never been a part of something like this.
02:05Obviously, Milwaukee Bucks organization had the great history, great players played before me.
02:11But here is a whole different story.
02:14You know, we've won a lot of championships.
02:16All-time great players from D-Wade, LeBron, Chris Bosh, Alonzo Mourning, Shaq.
02:23You go down the line, but I just want to leave my mark.
02:27I just want to leave my mark, man.
02:28I want to know when this chapter is over.
02:30I'm going to be here for a year or two or whatever it's going to be.
02:33I want to leave my mark.
02:34I want to know that I have had great relationship with my coaching staff, my teammates, with the fans.
02:42And that's all.
02:42I think I did it in the team that I played before, and I hope I can do it here
02:45too.
02:47So he wants to leave his mark.
02:49He wants to leave his mark.
02:50Okay.
02:50He wants to leave his mark.
02:52It's like, you know, he says, oh, it takes one year, it takes two years.
02:57And people are like, what do you mean if it's only one year or two years?
02:59And that's how everybody went crazy with it.
03:01And I got to say, Handsome Daffy's right.
03:05You know what, Tim Hardaway, you're right.
03:06You're right, Handsome Daffy.
03:07Tim Hardaway is not.
03:07Neither has Simone Fantecchio.
03:09You get the point, dude.
03:10Most of the rotation guys have spoken.
03:12Uh, anyway, Giannis saying what to do.
03:16And I was like, well, what do you mean you're only going to be here for one year?
03:18What do you mean you're only going to be here for two years?
03:20Well, a couple of things.
03:21One, he has an extension negotiation that doesn't become eligible until January.
03:26And I got to be honest with you.
03:29I think Giannis, if you didn't notice how everybody was pouncing on everything that he said last
03:35year, it's like, well, you said this, you think Giannis is going to box himself in like
03:40right off the bat the first week in Miami?
03:41Like even Ira yesterday was trying to, uh, be cute or at media day was trying to be cute
03:47asking the iguana question.
03:48And he was like, oh, do you, you know, will this prevent you from signing the extension?
03:53Clearly a joke.
03:54But Giannis is like, whoa, no extension comments or questions.
03:58Just wanted to start that like right off the bat.
04:00He don't want to talk about it.
04:01He doesn't want to talk about it.
04:03So he doesn't want to leave himself boxed in because you want to know what happened last
04:05year?
04:06He did that.
04:07And then he'd go to another paper and he said the exact opposite thing.
04:10He'd be like, I want to be in Milwaukee forever.
04:12And then he'd go three seconds later and he goes, but I'm the hottest chick in the game.
04:15But then he'd go three seconds later and he goes, but I, but the legacy I've left amazing.
04:19And then three seconds later, he'd go to another paper and he'd be like, but I'm human.
04:22I mean, humans can change their mind.
04:24And so everybody just took what he said.
04:26He was a walking talk.
04:28He was just doing everything.
04:29Yeah.
04:29He was just like, well, yeah, he just kept changing his mind.
04:33So now he's just like, I want to leave my mark.
04:35He very clearly has a respect for the organization and he wants to leave his mark in one to two
04:40years.
04:41Like, look, could that happen where the heat are left holding the bag?
04:44Being like, Hey, we get to January.
04:45Yannis is like, I don't like it here.
04:47And he could walk away.
04:49Yeah.
04:49Anything can happen.
04:50We've seen situations go really, really bad for the NBA.
04:54Does that happen to the heat in one to two years?
04:57The only person who it's burned out that quick, who is that good was Shaq.
05:02Everybody else, at least it's like a presidential term, you know?
05:05So do I think that's going to happen?
05:07No, because dude, if Yannis didn't like the idea of being in Miami, they would have told
05:13him, I don't want to be there.
05:14He would have signed somewhere else.
05:15He would have gone somewhere else.
05:16But obviously this place appealed to him.
05:20They knew that because again, their other star player has the same agent as him.
05:26And you don't think those conversations have ever happened.
05:28So everybody's just like, Whoa, whoa, one to two years.
05:33Oh dude, I can't get exhausted with this stuff.
05:36I'm happy having him here.
05:38Okay.
05:39It's it.
05:40I've already had enough angst when he wasn't here.
05:42You think I'm going to have that next time he is here.
05:44I can't do that.
05:46And by the way, I've already been looked a fool on this.
05:48All right.
05:49I thought for years, so let me tell you, let me take you guys down memory lane as a, as
05:52a, as a wee lad.
05:54All right.
05:54When I say wee lad, I was 24.
05:56So when I was a wee lad and LeBron James was on the Miami heat, I thought no chance in
06:03hell.
06:03LeBron is ever leaving us, dude.
06:05He's going to go back to Cleveland, Cleveland.
06:10I never thought a chance in hell.
06:12He was going to leave the Miami heat.
06:14Why would he go back to Cleveland with that owner who was a crazy person?
06:20And that you mean the organization that gave him Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Mo Williams for
06:26all those years while the heater out here, they're going to get a Pau Gasol and all this
06:30stuff.
06:31Never in a million years that I think he was.
06:32And I looked a fool and I got angry about it irrationally.
06:35You know, I wasn't proud of myself.
06:37Well, some of it I was proud of.
06:38It was good for my radio career.
06:39But, but other than that, other than that, you know, you have to grow as a person.
06:43And so I'm growing.
06:44And if Giannis is here and he gives us a Shaq run, he gives us a Shaq run.
06:48Enjoy it.
06:49Nobody does this 10 years nonsense anymore.
06:51You know, the special guys, bam, you get one usually in a run.
06:56Bam will be here probably his entire career.
06:58D Wade is here for six.
07:00Yeah, probably.
07:00That's what I'm saying.
07:01Probably.
07:01Probably.
07:02We hope.
07:02D Wade's here for 16 or 14 out of 16.
07:06You know, UD's here for 20 straight years.
07:08But most of the time, guys are here, they're here for a three-year window.
07:12And then they're off.
07:14They're not sticking around anymore.
07:15That's not how it works.
07:17So, I'm going to be here like crazy about it because Giannis has one to two years and
07:21maybe we get four?
07:23Hey, you know, just like, let's not be stressed out about it right now.
07:27Let me ask you this.
07:28Sure.
07:30Would you like Giannis to have the same amount or more years than Jimmy?
07:35Uh, so like five?
07:37Yeah, because Jimmy was five.
07:38Yeah, five.
07:38That's a good amount of years for me to organization.
07:40That would be amazing.
07:41If you guaranteed me five years of Giannis, and I'm assuming in that there's going to
07:45be success.
07:47But I was like, hey, five years, he's going to go somewhere else.
07:50He's got to win the title.
07:50He's got to win the title, of course.
07:51Because Jimmy took you to two finals.
07:53Absolutely.
07:53Agreed.
07:53So he's got to take you to a final.
07:55If he's saying, I've got to leave my mark, and he's got to get to a final.
07:59Agreed.
07:59And to be better than Jimmy, you've got to win.
08:02100%.
08:03I think the goal of this has to be, with him here, that he mentions all those guys.
08:07Like, all those guys won championships.
08:09All the guys that he mentioned.
08:10He didn't mention Jimmy Butler.
08:12He didn't win a championship.
08:13He didn't win a championship.
08:14All the other guys, when he says make mark, he wants to win a championship.
08:18So, if you guys had the guarantee that Giannis, if I said he was here four years, if he gave
08:22you a, I mean, LeBron runs ridiculous.
08:24LeBron went to the finals every year with D-Wade and Bosh.
08:26But if he, in four years, gets you a championship, you don't take that right now?
08:31Like, that's what sports is now.
08:32Nobody's, Giannis is, first of all, think about this.
08:35Giannis is 31.
08:36All right?
08:37So, if you want Giannis here for eight years, you're going to be paying for some weird out
08:41Giannis.
08:42Tired.
08:42Whoa, whoa, whoa.
08:43If you get Giannis for eight years, all those eight years are not going to be dominant.
08:47Right.
08:48You're going to get the back end.
08:49Right.
08:51So, I just don't understand why everybody got crazy about it.
08:55I think people are like, oh, so you could leave after.
08:58Yeah, he could leave after this year.
08:59If he was miserable and he thought Bam was a jerk and he thought Spoh, I don't agree
09:04with him.
09:05I mean, he could walk away.
09:08He could be like, he's not leaving, bro.
09:09He's not leaving if the iguanas become Jurassic Park.
09:11He's not leaving about the iguanas.
09:13All right?
09:14That's the only way.
09:15Giannis, you could always go to me, buddy, and I will let Sonny Bunny go take out the
09:20problem.
09:20I promise.
09:20He does mess with you, bro.
09:22Like, he remembered you.
09:24When he was talking about the iguana story, he remembered there was a guy that told me
09:28about these iguanas and I didn't pay any attention to him, but he was right.
09:31And he's like, you lied to me.
09:33And I was like, I didn't lie to you.
09:34He's like, no, you just said go talk.
09:36No, I didn't say that.
09:37I didn't say that.
09:37You did not say that.
09:38And by the way, he didn't do what I said either.
09:40No, you didn't.
09:41His wife threw a ball at the iguana.
09:44He's going through glass.
09:45He goes, hey, get out of here.
09:48But I'll tell you what he wasn't lying about.
09:50He's terrified.
09:51Because his kids were like, why don't you go fix it, dad?
09:54He goes, me?
09:56Nah, wifey.
09:57The wife had to do it.
09:59I'm not fixing that.
10:00It's always the lioness.
10:02It's always the lioness.
10:04Not in my house.
10:05It's not.
10:07But my wife hates critters.
10:10She hates animals.
10:11And if I ever try and mess with her, because I have done this before where I've just picked
10:14up a lizard and put it in her face like this, and she's like, not happy with me at all.
10:18Anyway, forget about the nonsense about, oh, Giannis is going to leave.
10:22Let's talk about Giannis.
10:24Talk about how the heat have changed the way he thinks about basketball forever.
10:27Because that was Goosey's.
10:28Did he say that?
10:29Kind of.
10:29There's a lot of things.
10:30Obviously, different organizations, different principles.
10:34They play totally different than what I've been used to for 13 years.
10:38They guard differently.
10:40So I'm just trying to learn.
10:42I've been like that my whole career.
10:43I try to talk as much as I can in as much knowledge as I can.
10:47You can always learn.
10:49Not just from Coach Paul.
10:50From the players.
10:51From the coaching staff.
10:52From everybody around the team.
10:53You can always learn something new.
10:55And it can help you.
10:57You know, operate this, navigate this whole process better.
11:02But yeah, I'll be honest with you.
11:04I've been around the team for like two, three weeks now.
11:07And I've learned so many different.
11:09Like I viewed the game one way.
11:10You know, now, you know, playing under the heat organization.
11:13It's kind of like making me view the game in a different way.
11:16So I'm involved.
11:18I hope I'm involved.
11:19We'll see.
11:20Oh.
11:21No, that's good.
11:25I'm so excited.
11:27God, I got to find a way to see this game on Saturday.
11:30It's on.
11:30Somebody say it's on NBA TV.
11:32Is it really?
11:33Yeah, it might be.
11:34But is that going to be blacked out here?
11:36Because usually NBA TV blacks out in the local market.
11:38It's a preseason game.
11:39I don't know what the rules are, dude.
11:41It does that for preseason.
11:42Like they'll do that.
11:43It's like an NFL Network game has.
11:44Like that'll be.
11:45Right, but that's because you can see it on local channel.
11:49Like if the Dolphins be on channel four.
11:51I don't know if it works like that.
11:52I got to find out.
11:53Look, I may have to go to one of those streaming sites.
11:56But you guys made me do this.
11:58All right.
11:59You know, you can't be mad at me.
12:01If I could watch it legally, I would watch it legally.
12:03If I have to pirate it, I have to pirate it.
12:05I don't know.
12:05You can't judge me.
12:07You can't judge me because I'm not watching it.
12:10I'm not going to see the game.
12:11I'm sorry.
12:12I might have to buy a ticket to.
12:14To Montreal?
12:15Yeah.
12:15She's like, hey, where'd you go?
12:16I'm like, I went to Quebec.
12:19Les habitants.
12:20Les hits.
12:22Ho, ho.
12:25Wow.
12:25Exciting.
12:30Some of you guys in the comments, man, you're crazy.
12:33Unbelievable.
12:34Jay Gattis says, imagine all that muscle scared of iguanas.
12:36Yeah, it's crazy.
12:37Listen, it's the funniest things that some of the tiniest or simplest creatures scare.
12:45I say more like most like physically dominating people.
12:50Dwayne Wade terrified of birds.
12:51Remember the Hawks game where the bird got loose?
12:54He was terrified.
12:55He hates birds.
12:55You know who's not afraid of pets?
12:59Ginobili.
12:59He beats the crap out of bats.
13:01Yep.
13:01Punched it right in the, in its stupid bat nose.
13:04Right there.
13:05You could tell he was in a Bruce Wayne fan.
