00:00All right, let's go to the NBA.

00:01The Lakers beat the Blazers last night in the RIP city.

00:04Moda, 1-10-1-0-2.

00:06Cover!

00:08LeBron at 40, he's 40 years old.

00:10Eight rebounds, four assists, two steals.

00:13He had 11 turnovers, I don't care.

00:14Reeves had 32.

00:15I talked about Reeves and Luka and LeBron with you yesterday.

00:22Reeves also seven dimes, two blocks.

00:25Here's LeBron nailing a fourth quarter bomb

00:28on Spectrum Sports.

00:3086-81, inbound, out on top to Hayes.

00:35He'll immediately give it up.

00:36Yet again for James, yes!

00:39Yes!

00:42So he became the first player in NBA history

00:43to have multiple 40-point games at 40 years old,

00:48and I'm not surprised at all.

00:49He's still a badass.

00:51Austin Reeves said LeBron has nothing else

00:53to prove about his greatness,

00:54and if anyone thinks he does,

00:55then they are just Jordan fans.

00:58Good one, Austin.

01:00Let's start making fun of Michael Jordan.

01:02I'll see how that goes for you in life.

01:04Listen, honestly, just stop.

01:07I don't care how good LeBron James is,

01:10which we all know how unbelievable he is,

01:14leading scorer all the time, all the records,

01:16all of his greatness, there's no denying any of it.

01:19He's still not Michael Jordan.

01:22Michael Jordan never lost.

01:23He never lost, ever.

01:25And hung over any situation,

01:29illness, bringing his best game there.

01:31That guy was an absolute dog.

01:33He'll take your money in anything,

01:34a card game, marbles, backgammon, it doesn't matter.

01:37That's the whole thing about Michael Jordan.

01:39He hated losing so much.

01:41LeBron, let's give him credit.

01:43One of the best players, great fantasy guy,

01:45but LeBron James and Michael Jordan,

01:47there's no argument.

01:48It's MJ.

01:49Amen, brother.

01:50Love you, Scotty.

01:51I mean, it's real simple.

01:52Come on.

01:54It's real simple.

01:55It's just so simple.

01:56So, by the way, I went out and I bought,

02:00actually, I didn't buy him,

02:0234C got me like four new Jordan t-shirts, like retro,

02:08all like retro Jordans.

02:10And I wore one of them like to the gym the other night,

02:13to my game and everybody was like, where'd you get that?

02:15I got all these new Jordan ones.

02:16I got an Iverson one, it's badass.

02:18I think I showed the Iverson one on the show here.

02:21But here's J.J. Redick talking about LeBron.

02:24Man, he really just defies anything that's normal

02:33and not just the physical feats and the plays,

02:40it's the mentality.

02:42He is, again, he's, I believe I saw the other day,

02:47he's a billionaire.

02:49And he's playing on the second night

02:52of a back-to-back at 40 after 22 years

02:54with every frickin' record and every accolade.

02:57And the kids will say that I'm glazing him.

03:00He's one of the greatest competitors ever.

03:06And Nate and I were talking about it before the game.

03:09It's like, he's amazing to coach.

03:14He's, he brings it every single day.

03:18He sets the standard for how you're supposed

03:20to approach this craft.

03:22And that's, to me, the most incredible thing.

03:25So it's just the mindset to do it, get up the next day,

03:30do it, get up the next day, do it,

03:32over and over and over again.

03:34Yeah, I don't think he listens to you.

03:37LeBron James, player coach, like Reg Dunlop in Slapshot.

03:43Yeah, no, he does what he wants.

03:45I think that he's friends with him and he's a fan.

03:47He's a fan of him like anyone else.

03:49When you go watch him, like, so I lived there, right,

03:51for 12 years and I used to go watch Kobe and Shaq

03:54win three straight titles.

03:56And I went to watch Kobe Bryant play basketball.

04:01I mean, like, I literally, and then when I was in Atlanta,

04:05Miami, it didn't matter where I was,

04:08whenever, you know, Jordan came to town,

04:11whenever Kobe Bryant came to town, I went and watched him.

04:17And it's the same thing with LeBron James.

04:19If he's in town, so back in the day,

04:22you knew that if they were in town, he was playing.

04:24There was none of this, today's day and age,

04:27where if you buy a ticket,

04:28you don't know if LeBron's gonna play

04:30because they don't announce it

04:31until 10 minutes before tip off,

04:33if the guy's gonna play or not, which is absolute bullshack.

04:36But back in the day, if you went to see Kobe,

04:38you knew he was playing.

04:40And it was like, it just, you got your rocks off

04:43watching LeBron and Kobe, same thing with LeBron.

04:47And, you know, watching great players is cool.

04:51And I think the coach, he's been sucked in by it.

04:55There's no way for one minute,

04:56I believe that that guy listens to J.J. Ritt.

04:59No, no, LeBron James, he doesn't need a coach.

05:01He can do it by himself.

05:02But I will say, that's the best thing too,

05:04about the best of the best, Scotty.

05:05Like when I saw Kobe Bryant live too,

05:07and against Vince Carter,

05:08all the best bring their best against the best.

05:10And that's, you're right, it's a ticket you gotta watch.

05:12And I was very lucky and fortunate to see Kobe play.
