00:00Balanchunas doesn't run, Cat Towns can't run, Nurkic can't run, Aiton all he does is cry

00:12and complain about how miserable he is.

00:17All I know is that to me it's a half-court game in the NBA.

00:20If you're in a rip and run transition, he's not part of that play.

00:24Rip and run, I need guards and forwards and, you know, moving and finishing, right?

00:29Fair enough.

00:30But I don't need him to be on the fast break.

00:33I don't need him to be end-to-end Speedy Gonzalez.

00:37It is a half-court game.

00:39What happens in the last 20, 30 seconds of an NBA game?

00:43Timeout, half-court, set it up, it's a half-court game.

00:47It is a violent, physical half-court game.

00:50And with that guy at 7'4", 300 pounds, he is an absolute mountain of a man, immovable.

00:57And he can finish with both hands.

01:01And who can stop him?

01:04You know what I've heard for two years?

01:06I've been hearing how awful he is as he scores 35 a night and wins back-to-back Woodens.

01:11All I hear about is how he sucks.

01:13By all these people in the NBA that do this for a living that are all 310 pounds themselves,

01:19fat asses can't even walk, let alone run, let alone play basketball, I can't stand it.

01:24I'm sick and tired of watching candy-ass fat guys give me my advice about players that

01:29go out and score 35 a night and have 20 rebounds and make all their free throws and have seven

01:34to ten dunks a game and shoot and make, you know, eight of nine mini-hooks and nine of

01:41ten free throws, and you tell me he sucks?

01:44Shut up.

01:45I'm done with it.

01:47I think Portland takes him at seven.

01:49In fact, if they take Kling at number one, honestly, I'm going to come on here with a

01:55giant machete knife and stick it through my heart and kill myself right on the air.

01:59I'm going to take a giant machete knife right on Thursday on Coast to Coast at Sports Radio

02:04at Bellworth, and I'm going to—did you see House of—what do they call it, the thing

02:09on HBO, the spinoff of the—

02:12House of the Dragon.

02:13House of the Dragon.

02:14See the guy last night who just put the sword on the ground in front of the—right in front

02:19of the queen and he just sat on it and killed himself after he killed his brother.

02:23God just took him right through the chest.

02:25That's what I'm going to do if Klingon goes number one.
