What we're getting at, folks, is the NBA is different than when I, than when we were kids.
00:06
You know, like I look now, I'm in my office, I'm over here, I have a picture of Magic Johnson
00:12
with the Lakers and Jordan with the Bulls in a 91-5 on the other side, you know, I got
00:19
Iceman, George Gerber, I got a poster of him right over here, over my shoulder.
00:24
When you put on the NBA, you knew Iceman was in San Antonio.
00:28
You knew Magic was in L.A. You knew Ewing was in New York.
00:32
You knew Olajuwon was in Houston.
00:33
Robinson was in, obviously, in San Antonio.
00:38
You know, so I got to see guys through the totality of their career.
00:43
Guys are switching teams like people switch underwear.
00:47
And the problem is, is when guys aren't happy with what's going on, they get up and they
00:52
leave.
00:53
I don't want to be here.
00:54
I want to go here.
00:55
Liners!
00:56
Liners!
00:57
Hey, can you imagine back in the day, in the 80s, when Jordan was getting these, you
01:02
know what, kicked by the bad boys?
01:05
You imagine Jordan saying, yeah, you know what, I'm going to go play for Detroit.
01:09
I can't beat them like what Kevin Durant did.
01:11
Can you imagine that?
01:12
Back then?
01:13
That's why we loved it back then, and maybe this is me being an old man of 48, sitting
01:19
on my soapbox, but folks, guess what, I'm on air, you're not, I don't care.
01:25
This is the way we love basketball, and we need to get back to that some way.
01:29
And it starts with the players and Adam Silver holding these guys accountable.
