00:00Let's hear from Giannis.
00:01Giannis, he spoke yesterday at practice,
00:04and he said, unfazed by the Chetar going into the season.
00:10I feel like I've had noise my whole career.
00:13It's nothing new for me.
00:15Maybe it might be new for some players on the team,
00:17but you can't win a championship in training camp.
00:20You can't win a championship in game one.
00:22I wish we could play one game and win a championship, but we can't.
00:26So, obviously, I understand, like, first impression is everything.
00:30But I don't know if that applies in basketball.
00:34It's 82 games.
00:35You can win the first game by 30 and lose 10 in a row.
00:42So, I'm happy that I'm here.
00:44I think the team is excited for what's coming.
00:48Everybody's locked in, everybody's focused.
00:50So, the outside noise does not seep in in our locker room or in our facility.
00:57Wow, what a guy.
01:00So, glad we traded for him.
01:01What a move, Pat Riley.
01:02I love you, Pat.
01:05Sorry, y'all.
01:06Sorry, y'all at the window.
01:08For now, you love him.
01:10I'll always love him.
01:11I just got a little mad sometimes.
01:13See, this is the ups and downs.
01:15Bled, this is the ups and downs that I go through on a personal level.
01:21Right?
01:22I feel for you.
01:23Because he goes from never wanted him to glad he's here to send him to the Oats to, like, the
01:32ups and downs of how you feel about players.
01:38Dude.
01:39Can't be that extreme that quick.
01:42B-Ray.
01:43He's happy right now.
01:45I know.
01:46Dude, look.
01:47In 10, in 12 hours, he may not be happy as he is right now.
01:52Hey, Giannis.
01:52How about making a free throw?
01:54Giannis.
01:55That's not going to happen.
01:56What happened to Biscayne?
01:57Clay, what's going on here?
01:59You're coming in with the yachts, but you're not hitting any shots.
02:03Clay, Clay.
02:04How about a little more shooting the basketball and not shooting your shot on the boat?
02:11Oof.
02:12He's going to have fun down here.
02:14But, hey.
02:14Off the night.
02:15You traveled the world.
02:17Off the night.
02:18It's not going to happen.
02:19I love this team.
02:21These are my guys.
02:22I'm not going to be training anybody away.
02:25But here's the deal.
02:26You know your line.
02:29You react to every game in an 82-game season as if it was the end of the season or
02:38they're winning the championship.
02:40No, I understand.
02:41You do.
02:42You do.
02:42I'm going with a different mindset.
02:45No, you're not.
02:46Stop it.
02:47Stop lying.
02:48I'm not lying.
02:48I'm not lying.
02:49I'm not lying.
02:50Everybody in the world knows that you're saying, no, I'm going to be professional, Tobe.
02:55I'm going to keep it.
02:57I'm going to be understanding.
02:58It's a lie.
02:59I am.
02:59We all know it.
03:00Minus one.
03:01You're overreaction, Tobe.
03:03What?
03:04Really?
03:05That's not fair.
03:06Wait.
03:07If they have a bad game, you're going to already start kicking the trade machine.
03:12That's what you do.
03:13That's what you do.
03:14That's not true.
03:14Leroy, if they start off bad, what players, which players will you want off the team?
03:21I mean, they're not going to start off bad.
03:23Why are we putting this mojo into the team?
03:25We're not putting mojo on.
03:26We know you.
03:28Right.
03:28Right.
03:29This is not a reflection of what we think the Heat are going to do.
03:33This is a reflection of how we know you to react to every ebb and flow of a basketball season.
03:38I don't think you guys appreciate.
03:40I didn't spend my Julys watching Sweden, Finland to trade Pella Larson after a game.
03:45You had a subscription that you couldn't get out of.
03:48It doesn't matter if I couldn't get out of it.
03:49Hey, it's not our fault you had it for a year and a half.
03:55The year wasn't up yet.
03:58They got you with some like fake DAZN.
04:00I had to extend it for a month because of the stupid extent.
04:03The stupid qualifiers kept going.
04:06And I wanted to watch Jovic versus Wemby.
04:08The Wemby stopper.
04:10Jovic showed everybody the blooper.
04:12You see Wemby and Yama last night?
04:14Stunk.
04:15Yeah, it was pretty bad yesterday.
04:16But that's just one of 81 more games.
04:19Yeah, but that was a match.
04:21I don't think anybody in San Antonio is worried about Wemby.
04:27I will tell you.
04:28It ain't crying at Juros.
04:29You know what the biggest like problem with sports from year to year?
04:35What's that?
04:37Teams, fans, everybody think, oh, we got to this point.
04:42Next year, we're going to take that next step.
04:45But in sports, it doesn't really work that way.
04:50It just doesn't.
04:52Every year has to be treated independent of its own year because teams come out of nowhere.
04:58Like things just happen.
05:00You look at Philly.
05:02You look at the Browns.
05:03That's the two opposite sides of the, I never thought Philly was going to be this bad.
05:08And I never thought the Browns would win this many games already.
05:12Right?
05:12It happens.
05:13So you got to treat East season independent.
05:16So when people say, last year they did this without Giannis.
05:20Man, look around.
05:21Look around the Eastern Conference.
05:23Every team is loaded.
05:26So just because you got Giannis don't mean you're going to automatically take that next step.
05:31But I will say this.
05:34You got quite arguably the best player in the East.
05:37For sure.
05:38That, that, and it's, I said arguably.
05:41That's not what I'm doing.
05:43I'm like, it's like, it's, I don't really think this is really an argument.
05:46Okay.
05:47Right.
05:47Okay.
05:50And I would say this.
05:52In basketball, very rarely do you have the best player and not do well.
06:00True.
06:01It doesn't mean you're going to win the championship.
06:02I don't always, but you don't do, you're not doing well.
06:05It's, it's, it's usually rare.
06:06Wait, wait, wait, what's, what's considered not doing well?
06:10Well, for a regular season, you don't usually have a blunder of a year.
06:15Like you don't miss the postseason?
06:17You know, you have like, but you can win 45.
06:19Yeah.
06:19Like you've got Dirk Nowitzki winning MVP and getting bounced in the first round.
06:21Hell, it happened to.
06:22What I'm saying, there was many years when LeBron was the best player and Cleveland would
06:25be like a four seed.
06:26You know what I'm saying?
06:27Like, I'm not talking about seeds or anything like that, but I'm talking about, you're not
06:32going to have the best player in the Eastern conference and being a player.
06:35You're just not going to have it.
06:37Oh, okay.
06:38That, that, right.
06:39Like once you get to the playoffs, all bets are off.
06:43Right.
06:43I'm not, I'm not assuming you got the best player.
06:46You're going to win the championship, but I'm saying you're not going to have to be
06:50going back and forth with, oh, two games out with two games left to get out of the playing.
06:57I don't think that's going to happen.
