Transcript

00:00Did get up this morning thinking two things

00:04hmm

00:06Jimmy's coming back Oh

00:09Jimmy

00:10Yeah, right. It could either be

00:14Who needs them

00:16Let's get Jimmy you did or it could be Jimmy each world

00:23now

00:24That's a that's the uh, that's the title for the first hour there. So yeah, you know something about Jimmy 12

00:30now I'm

00:32Here's and I'm torn because sometimes when you say what I'm gonna get ready to say

00:41People are gonna take that the wrong way, but this is no disrespect to Jimmy

00:48None whatsoever

00:51Which hopefully means it's about to be very disrespectful to Jimmy

00:55But Jimmy ain't that guy

00:58Right

00:59Say it again. Jimmy's not that guy. He's a

01:02He is

01:04One hell of a basketball player and I will want him on my team. Let's be clear

01:10But I don't think that he can be the number one

01:16Consistently on a team he fits perfectly

01:22With Steph and others and

01:26That's not taking away from the greatness of Jimmy, but if you're a team that needs scoring

01:34Jimmy is a guy that's gonna touch every stat line

01:39Periodically, he's gonna get you a 40-piece

01:42right

01:44but more than more

01:47More along the lines of right around 15 20

01:50He's gonna get you eight to ten rebounds five assists three steals and what have you and

01:59that

02:00Works great

02:02When you have a guy that could go for 50 and other guys that can shoot the ball like Golden State does

02:07but here

02:10When you have BAM plays very similar in that

02:15BAMS contributions aren't all scoring

02:20But that's because the heat had been losing we only look at the scoring

02:26but it seems to me that

02:30When Wiggins is playing he know exactly what he need to do score the damn ball. He may not always do it

02:37But that's his role

02:40Leroy in level of

02:44Extra oomph

02:46Little bit of chip on their shoulder. I want you to rank these four people who will be competing tonight. Mm-hmm

02:53Oh, we'll be playing with the most

02:56Extra can I you don't need to name none of I already know Jimmy

03:01You think Jimmy's gonna be number one? Yeah, okay. Absolutely

03:05Absolutely, which which is which is understandable because he is probably the pettiest and he is he's gonna come in here saying

03:11You guys thought I wasn't that guy

03:15You didn't think I was worth the money

03:19Take some of this

03:21Okay, I can understand that

03:24Believe okay, there comes a point in time

03:28Just ask Crowder

03:31When you think you can do things that you can't

03:37Right, oh man, that's petty it's one thing to say

03:42Pay me like I'm the guy

03:44It's another thing

03:46To consistently be that guy the whole problem with the heat and Jimmy was

03:52Jimmy wasn't that guy enough and this team needed him to be Jimmy Moore

03:58and

04:00That's where it all started it all started last summer

04:05Last offseason

04:07What Pat Riley said?

04:09We're actually here from Jimmy Butler in the next segment and he'll tell you exactly where it started which goes even deeper than than what?

04:16We had anticipated. Oh, it's deep in Iraq. It's deeper than hip-hop

04:20I got a question though Leroy of the three heat players

04:24You got Tyler hero who earlier on in the season was quoted as 1a 1b with Jimmy Butler

04:31You got BAM out of bio then you face of the franchise the new captain the new man in charge

04:38And then you got Andrew Wiggins the guy who warriors

04:42Supposedly were so sad to see go but very quickly forgot about whatever

04:47Contributions he made of those three put those three in order in regard. So who is gonna be playing with that extra juice I say

04:56Wiggins hero

04:59Out of bio I

05:03See that that because because if you're gonna do the same thing with if you're gonna do the same thing with

05:09Jimmy coming back to play the heat and trying to make a point

05:14Wiggins was damn near the MVP of the

05:17the finals

05:19Yeah

05:21You know

05:22Of a finals that they would not have won without Andrew Wiggins

05:27So if there was a guy to have a chip on their shoulder

05:32It would be if it might be oh, oh

05:36Y'all wanted, you know

05:39Yo, what do you say? What?

05:42Jimmy say when he was in

05:44When he came finally to buy me right then Wiggins might have that to Jimmy Butler all over me

05:53Okay, but all right, I see that as a possibility I see Tyler saying look I I'm that score guy

05:59I see Andrew saying you can't win it without me

06:01But I think in order for the heat to be successful BAM has to be that guy that says, you know what?

06:06I'm putting up Ford

06:08But that's not that's not that's not what he is though. I mean if you don't get forward here you

06:17You don't want somebody out there with an agenda

06:21Yeah, you don't want somebody playing the sport on on a team in a team sport with an agenda I

06:28Want BAM though?

06:30I feel like he makes good decisions like BAM will never go Kobe on him

06:33But BAM will will show that he's aggressive and I need BAM to go aggressive. I need to say. All right old man

06:41You couldn't have led us far. Anyway, this is the future of the franchise, which is not in his personality to do

06:47But what if you saw him get 40 15 10, so here let's put it this way

06:55I'm gonna ask you a question. I

06:58Want you to give me the best odds?

07:03All right. I got a chili pepper one chili pepper. I can put on one of these players. Mm-hmm. Who is most likely to

07:13Get a 40-piece

07:16Jim Jimmy

07:18Wiggins Tyler or BAM I

07:22Think it's it's pretty obvious. It'd be Jimmy Butler really especially with Steph Curry out

07:27Really? Yeah, and they would and they definitely want him to go off on his former team

07:33My dream runs in his ear right now saying okay go in then then then I would like

07:38To do a little lunch chili pepper

07:41With both of y'all, let's do it. Let's do it. Okay. Yeah, because

07:47Jimmy may want to school 40

07:51But I don't think he will

07:56Now I would say as far as players that

08:02Seem

08:04To easily do it when Jimmy does he working his ass off right like he he's going at it pretty hard

08:12except for when he's on ice here, so

08:17The reason why I go with Wiggins

08:20or Tyler just like is because

08:23Those two go seven for ten from three

08:26Yeah, Tyler hasn't gone seven for terminal. Yeah, he hasn't he he hasn't

08:31But that's part of his game

08:34Even though he hasn't made not have been as good at it lately

08:38You know, you can also get 40 by going to the free throw line like, you know, 12 13 times. That's true

08:45Like Jimmy does

08:50Okay, I'm just saying I'm I'm more I would feel that

08:58It would be easier so you eliminate Tyler so that means that I'm going with Wiggins

09:06All right, so you think it's

09:08Even though he just had probably one of the better performances his career days ago. It's a Hornets

09:13Yeah, you think that he's gonna be able to replicate this?

09:19I mean I was 40

09:22the question was

09:25Who is most likely yeah, I didn't say

09:3040 40. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just saying based on on their games

09:37Hmm

09:39Look, it is an action-packed night

09:41Indeed if you are in South Florida and for some reason have an opportunity to go tonight

09:47I want to hear from you today. I need chance. I have

09:51any

09:54Ready? Yeah

09:57You think Oh show pony

10:00Prolonged vacation. Oh so he could go be boots on the ground. Oh, he's definitely moves on

10:06They all packed it in the car no, no, no mrs

10:13You must be back so I can be boots on the ground

10:16So you think they went to early vacation came back for today?

10:21You don't think we're not leaving until tomorrow

10:25Yeah, he did dirty boxing Saturday having dirty boxing. So you're saying that Sunday Monday was the big

10:31Well, he was doing his YouTube and his team like he was back in the you know

10:35He had a fancy shirt on but it the the offices the the surrounding look like it was

10:41It was a Tobin Studios Tobin Studios. Yes. Yes. I think they'll leave it. They must leave tomorrow

10:46Yeah, there's no way he's not gonna be there. There is no way

10:50That

10:52Tobin is gonna be in a car

10:55listening to heat warriors

10:59on the radio

11:01With a family. What are they?

11:03Though wouldn't that be right up his alley to know cuz he can't

11:08He can't go at it like you want to

11:10He's just gonna it's it's just imagine him to be the guy who who is the reason Jimmy Butler is no longer part of the

11:16Yes, we think you'd actually show his face and they're not even show up in the end and be like, oh, okay

11:21Oh, I didn't even realize was that today's game. I didn't even realize

11:26Y'all know to that dude is pettier than all of us put together

11:31He don't be there taking some of the craziest pictures

11:36He's gonna ask Jimmy questions and then Jimmy's gonna look at him and say oh eyes and then he's gonna he's gonna melt again

11:43and then he's gonna love Jimmy again or

11:46This

11:51Will you be boots on the ground tonight he texted back. Yes

12:01Try not to ruin two franchises or or

12:07Try to ruin theirs. Yeah, we're gonna ruin. Yeah. Yeah, but that's after the game. That's after the game

12:13You know, it's interesting he would always complain about the Steph Curry jerseys that he would see every time

12:18It'd be the Warriors in town. I wonder if he's a Jimmy

12:25Jimmy no, not down here

12:31Wait, you've seen how people reacted if I was a warrior and that's something I would do here's the problem and

12:38This is the whole

12:40Crux of my issue with Jim

12:42The fact that Jimmy wanted to be gone that happens in basketball all the time, right?

12:48Not even not even

12:51Getting on him about that not getting on him about

12:55Want his money not getting on him by any any of that

12:59But Jimmy was the one that said I'm not gonna get the contract. I'm just gonna go ball

13:04I'm just gonna go ball out right when the season started and

13:08Then he went to and

13:11Went on a mission to sabotage everything

13:15That's what I have a problem. That's it. Apparently there was a picture of somebody wearing

13:21his jersey

13:22last game

13:24Really? Yes worries him

13:26Hmm how'd that last cuz I know I know fans down here do not play

13:33They don't play so

13:35It should be interesting and how this whole thing plays out Jimmy did say a lot
