It is the JR Sport Brief Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Much love and many thanks to everybody all over North America. This is when the show gets started every weekday at 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. I'm in Atlanta. Thank you to super producer and host Ryan Hickey.
He is in New York City. Happy Thursday. I hope you had a great one. I hope it's been amazing. I hope you're good.
All of the wonderful things we got a lot to get into. LeBron James, the Lakers, Luka Doncic, JJ Reddick. This season is over. Tyrese Halliburton is dead. Indiana Pacers basically said, hey, don't come to any more games.
I wonder why. Getting in people's faces. Giannis should have punched him in the face.
Sorry. Hey, Rudy Gobert. After the Lakers lost last night, Rudy Gobert with a 20 point double double. Rudy Gobert finally getting a little bit of respect. Houston Rockets trying to beat the living hell out of Steph Curry.
The New York Giants say they have a plan for Jackson Dart. Man, we got that Pirates fan who fell out of the stands yesterday. Did he fall? Did he jump? Who knows? He's in critical condition.
Not good. Hey, we're going to have a chat with Anthony Irwin, Lakers insider, later on in the show. Here's an inside hunch that Travis Hunter, you got a lot of people in Vegas thinking that he's going to win both offensive and defensive player of the year. And then we got more basketball tonight. Yeah, more basketball. We've got the Knicks and the Pistons. We got the Nuggets and the Clippers and Knicks are trying to get rid of the Pistons in Detroit.
That's not going to be easy. And the Nuggets, they're trying to get rid of the Clippers in Los Angeles, trying to eliminate the other L.A. basketball team. Thank you for listening on the free Odyssey app, your local Infinity Sports Network affiliate. If you got Sirius XM, it's Channel 375.

Sport Brief. I'm on Facebook. I'm on Twitter. I'm on Instagram. I'm on TikTok.
I'm on. All of the things. Hickey, I was you know, I was on Facebook. And somebody clipped and had a good old time. They enjoyed our conversation on Monday about the gorilla and the the 100 men that people people love these conversations. They they do. It's sometimes the most innocuous or the craziest questions that you never think about.
They get the people going the most. You never know, man. You never know. Were you taken out of context in this clip?
No, no. He just this guy's like, hey, I'm just I'm going to work and I'm having a good time. And I hear J.R. and Hickey talking about a gorilla. And it was hilarious.
And he just shared the whole eight minute segment. I didn't realize we talked about it for eight minutes, but we did. Wow. OK, that's good. OK, that's good. It is good.
Good stuff. Yeah. Well, no gorillas tonight, right? Nothing.
Has that been answered? I see a lot of computer simulations about, you know, people. I don't know why we're upscaling the math on this one. It's just like, here's what would happen with 100 gorillas and 10,000 men and the 100 gorillas destroy those guys. I think I think 14 gorillas died and all of the humans perished. I mean, I guess I'll trust the numbers because I don't really have anything else to base it off of. But OK, so 10,000 men can only kill 14 gorillas and all the men died. That's that's that's the bigger point, Hickey.
That's that's also true. One hundred gorillas, 10,000 men. Only 14 gorillas died and those gorillas cleared out all 10,000 humans. That's why we why are we sending soldiers into war, sending gorillas?
What are we doing? Well, what do you what do they know how to use guns? They got opposable thumbs, don't they? Man, a gun shot to stop anybody. OK, opposable thumbs.
You think he's going to stop and aim and shoot two girls? Right. They do. They're there. We have to make specialty guns for them. You think their hands are going to fit on a weapon? Imagine how unstoppable our army would be if we made the gorillas now all of a sudden able to use the guns. You come after us.
No one's taking us down. You're just over here trying to get Planet of the Apes started. Go go ahead. Watch that movie. Yeah.
Gorillas on horseback with the shotguns. OK, just what could go wrong? Yeah.
What can go wrong? Just the enslavement and the eradication of the human race. Go ahead. Go ahead. The new boss pretty soon. Yeah.
Come on now. The way the world is going at this point, we'll just have it. We'll have apes and and and robots just run in the world. They'll be enslaving us humans any day now. Thank you, Hickey.
Thank you so much. OK, let's just give the apes like the robots don't have enough. OK, we now have to give the apes some weapons. OK. All right. The apocalypse is upon us.
Do you have a date you want to predict on right now? Is that too much for you? That's a little too much.
I don't know how quickly these gorillas can get trained on guns. OK. You know, wildly without knowing all the facts. OK. All right.
Look, if you say so, Hickey. All right. I think that'll that'll be it for our our gorilla conversation and robots for today. As of right now, let's get into some basketball.
Is that a decent transition? The best you could have done right there. And I'm trying my best. Well, I know something that is over.
That's not the human race. The Los Angeles Lakers season. It's done. It's over. LeBron James, if he's going to come back, this man is going to be playing in his age.
Forty one season. And and we'll we'll talk about him later. Why the hell would he not come back? Like who thinks LeBron James is going to walk away a loser like this without fanfare and adulation and people slapping him on the back? He's likely to come back.
OK. It's just a shame that the Los Angeles Lakers season ended with 40 year old LeBron gassed. No depth off the bench. Terrible. The only big man, Jackson Hayes, didn't play.
J.J. Reddick, I don't know if he was trying to outsmart himself. Just think about this. And I fell asleep. I'm not going to lie. I was watching the game in the third quarter. Fourth quarter came around.
I was like, oh, this game is close. And my ass fell asleep. And when I woke up and I was like, Rudy Gobert did what?
He was getting it when I was awake. But then when I really woke up, I'm like, Rudy Gobert has 27 points and 24 rebounds. Like the Lakers were out rebounded like 50 something to 30, if that. Rudy Gobert is just like, who's the tallest guy out here, LeBron? And he was six foot nine. Rudy Gobert is like 7'1". Maybe 7'2". He's about 7'1".
That guy's gigantic. And people make fun of him all the time. Oh, he's a four time defensive player of the year. He's in a space with, you know, Hakeem Olajuwon.
Why the hell does he have four Defensive Player of the Year awards? People make fun of Rudy Gobert. Like he's a joke.
Like he's a clown. Every year. I know Tyrese Halliburton got it this season. But every year, Rudy Gobert is on that list of being one of the most overrated players in the league. Come on, Draymond Green thought enough. Draymond Green thought enough that he wanted to come through and actually choke the guy out. Like nobody takes Rudy Gobert seriously.
But last night. He had his moment. 27 points, 24 rebounds, two blocks. Rudy Gobert went to town.
And I guess if you get picked on all the damn time, maybe this is a little bit of vindication. Rudy Gobert said it himself. It feels good to beat the Lakers.
This is what he told TNT. Feels great. Feels great.
You know, we had a season with a lot of ups and downs and to come here and play the way we do tonight means a lot. OK. All right. In short on words, right? Come on. What's he going to do? Anything that Rudy Gobert says can and will be used against him into the future. OK. Nobody likes that guy, I guess, except for his own teammates, Anthony Edwards. He didn't have a Rudy Gobert game. Actually, he had another subpar game and they still won.
Anthony Edwards only had 15 points. You know, this guy is typically out there scoring. He said, hey, Rudy, you go out there and get the buckets. Anthony Edwards says, man, Rudy Gobert is unstoppable. Rudy played phenomenal, man. He played almost 40 minutes tonight. 12 for 15 from the field.
Yeah, we can't ask nothing at 24 rebounds. He was a dragon tonight. Rudy was the dragon. He was a dragon tonight for sure.
Yeah, for sure. No, he wasn't a dragon from my article. He was a dragon from Game of Thrones tonight. OK, Game of Thrones.
Hickey, I don't watch that. You watch Game of Thrones? I do not. No. Oh, OK. I was going to say, do you have any insight as to I know what dragons do. They breathe fire.
They destroy things. But I didn't want to. I just wanted to know if you had a little bit more insight than that. I don't. My apologies. I can't.
So I can't break down the dragon analogy. And so I just know what's that lady's name with the blonde hair, Khaleesi. I know her. Right.
Yeah, she's good. Right. Yeah.
Wasn't there a situation where she was hanging out with her brother? Right. Yes.
I believe I got social media buzzing. Yeah. I tried to watch like one episode of like I don't I don't even know a long time ago. How long this this thing been out for a minute now. Would you say a decade Game of Thrones? Yeah, that's.
Yeah. I think the last season came out like two years ago. Somebody somebody tried to get me to watch this a long time ago. I couldn't get past episode one or two. I'm like, I don't even know what the hell these people are talking about.
Like, I'm not sitting down and watching this like complete waste of my time. That and the Walking Dead, the two shows that I feel like were very popular when they were on that I just never got. Never, never seen an episode of Walking Dead.
Same. No interest. I know there's a guy with a baseball bat and barbed wire. OK, that's all I know.
I don't know nothing else. I feel like I could just go down to East Atlanta and see somebody doing that. Well, I got to watch it on TV.
What do I need to do that for? Anyway, Rudy go bears a dragon and good for him up next for these Minnesota Timberwolves. Well, they got to wait on the winner between the Rockets and the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers. We know where they're going home.
It's real simple. You know, I told you about Rudy go bear. Twenty seven points and twenty four rebounds. If I was seven foot four, I had his dimensions and athleticism. I'd be in the NBA.
Damn it. I'd be better than him. I'd learn how to shoot jump shots.
I'd be one Benyama. But I guess it's worked out for Rudy go bear. He's already made, I think, north of three hundred million dollars worth of contracts. So I think he is perfectly a OK. You know, it's bad when LeBron James is the biggest guy for the Lakers on the basketball court. Six foot nine. Anthony Davis, I was going to say, God rest his soul, like they sent him out to pasture.
They basically did. He's in Dallas now. Anthony Davis has been saying for years. He's like, we need another big man. We need another center.
I don't want to play center. We need a big man. And so LeBron James, when asked last night, do you all need a big man?
He's like, man, Anthony asked for a big man and they traded him the Dallas. He made a joke about it. Listen to LeBron. No comment. I never say that because my guy 80 said what he needed and then he was gone the following week. So I got no comment.
I put that uniform on every night. I gave everything I had. And that's that's all that matters is what you got to laugh through your pain.
Right. When something hurts. And if you're LeBron James, you've got to be at least OK with how this season ended. Of course, you want to win a championship. Unfortunately, for the Los Angeles Lakers, what is like the third consecutive year they've been bounced.
In the first round. But this is the first year the Los Angeles Lakers have have Luca Doncic. Luca Doncic joins the L.A. Lakers and they have a bright future, not just, you know, for today.
They got a bright future past LeBron James. And so you would want to try to win something now while these two are together. And you just lost a year or half a year. You didn't expect that half. And maybe this is like a bonus season. This offseason, you've got to take advantage. You've got to get a big you've got to get some wings.
You've got to get some defensive help. The Los Angeles Lakers are in win now mode. And for LeBron James, who is pontificating as to whether or not he wants to return next year.
Yeah, sure. He's going to be 41 years old. I mean, Justin East passed two games yesterday. He had a crapshooting game at the end. He only had five points.
The game before that. J.J. Redick decided to play all of the Los Angeles Lakers in the entire second half. All of them, even including 40 year old LeBron James. LeBron James had a whopping zero points. J.J. Redick was criticized. J.J. Redick wanted to whine and complain about the media scrutiny. It's not J.J. Redick's fault. Some of it is. But ultimately, it's realistically it's the roster construction. Good for them for being one of the best defensive teams early on when they traded for Luca. But you've got to have talent. You've got to have warm bodies that can actually go out there and play.
It's simple as that. And I guess now that he lost, now that his first season, you could consider it to be a success is over. J.J. Redick says, yeah, my rookie year is done. I can get better. I'll use my own thoughts to evaluate myself and I'll use what my players say and what my coaching staff says to evaluate. But, you know, I know I can be better and I know I will get better. I don't necessarily take any satisfaction from how the year went.
That's not to say I'm not proud of what the group was able to do and how we were able to figure things out on the fly and put ourselves in a position to have home court in the first round. But there's always there's always ways to get better and I can I can get a lot better. Oh, he can get better. OK. Well, J.J. Redick can get better. Maybe you can chill out a little bit now that we're here in the off season.
I know the poor guy's house burned down earlier in the season. Outside of that, why are you so damn miserable all the time? Like, lighten up just a little bit.
Like, smile. Stop being a curmudgeon. Stop being angry with the media.
You don't burn yourself out even more. Maybe LeBron James will ultimately give you the boot if you don't chill the hell up on out. J.J. Redick can improve. The roster can improve.
And this one is pretty funny as well. Speaking today, J.J. Redick, you didn't just say he can improve. He had some advice and some thoughts on how people on the team can get better.
Listen very carefully to what J.J. Redick had to say. The work that's required in an off season to be in championship shape. And, you know, we have a ways to go as a roster. And certainly there are individuals that were in phenomenal shape. There's certainly other ones that could have been in better shape.
That's where my mind goes immediately is, you know, we have to get in championship shape. Uh oh. I know who he's not talking about. J.J. Redick is not talking about LeBron James. This is like sitting in a classroom. And the teacher, the professor is talking to an entire class. And you know exactly who the professor isn't referring to. You might be in the class going, I know he ain't talking about me. And then, you know, there's somebody else.
You just look up. He's talking about Luca Doncic. Come on. J.J. Redick just called Luca fat and said the layoff of the beer and the hookah.
He said all of that without saying it. He ain't talking about LeBron. Who cares about these other guys on the roster? Austin Reeves is a bum now. Come on.
Let's do process of elimination. Ruhi Hotchimor. Is he fat and out of shape? No, doesn't look like it. Austin Reeves looks he looks like to me. He looks pretty skinny. Dorian Finney Smith. Who cares?
That guy looks like he goes to work. He's a stick as well. Who cares about Alex Renly? He ain't talking about Alex. Does he know who he is on the team? I don't think so. Jackson Hayes.
What is championship shape for him? They want him to eat some more, probably, right? You have a burger. Right. Yes.
Or two. Yeah. Nobody cares about him. Is Luca in shape? Is he kind of pudgy? What would you say to that, J.R.?
Yeah, answers yes. Wow. Luca's sitting around on his beachfront home today. Somebody texts him this. He's probably, oh, man, I just got here.
He's calling me fat, too. OK, fine. And what is Luca going to do? He can't do anything now. I can't say he's trapped. Where's Luca going?
Nowhere. Like he's in L.A. He's been told, man, you're here now.
Now you got to you got to get into shape. He's not getting traded again. And LeBron James, he heard the same thing I did. He ain't talking about me. He sure is only talking about me.
I'm about to be 41 years old at the end of the year. I'm the I'm in the I'm in the best shape that an NBA player has ever been in. He ain't talking about me. He's talking about Luca.
Shots fired. And Luca, he got no choice. Luca's been put on polite notice because what are you going to do? What you going to say?
Nothing. At least J.J. Riddick, I give him credit. He has the cojones to go out there and basically tell Luca publicly. Hey, brah, I'm not just telling you this. This is not just implied. LeBron isn't saying, hey, talk to my chef for, you know, let's work out together. You're hearing this publicly. You need to get in shape.
As simple as that. That needs to happen. And then the Los Angeles Lakers, they need to find somebody seven foot tall that could play basketball. They can do that, too.
Good luck. The J.R. sport show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. Lakers got eliminated last night and we got more basketball. The Pistons could be eliminated tonight.
The Clippers could be eliminated tonight. We'll get into Tyrese Halliburton. His dad spoke last night. Why? Why?
For what? And then Tyrese Halliburton, he spoke today. And the NBA and the Pacers spoke, too.
They said, tell your dad to stay his behind at home. We'll get into that. Talk about this unfortunate incident in Pittsburgh. We got Anthony Irwin, Irwin, excuse me, Lakers insider joining us later in the show. Hey, Giannis, he's somebody who's in shape.
Is he going to be in shape for the Bucks next year? We'll get into that. We got a lot to do. 8 8 8 7 10 for ISN.
That's 8 8 8 7 10 for ISN. When we come back, we'll talk about another basketball game that took place last night. This guy is in world class shape as well. His name is Steph Curry. He looks like he's dealing with an injury and the Rockets apparently they're trying to hurt him more.
Dylan Brooks is at it again. We'll talk about it here on the Infinity Sports Network, the JR Sport Brief show. You are listening to the JR Sport Brief. It is the JR Sport Brief show on the Infinity Sports Network. 8 8 8 7 10 for ISN.
That's 8 8 8 7 10 for ISN. We'll get back into the Lakers and we'll talk more specifically about LeBron James and what we can expect, what we should expect from him, what the Lakers need to do. We'll get into that later on in the show. Also, I told you that Anthony Irwin, Lakers insider, he's going to come through and join us later on in the show. The Los Angeles Lakers, they were eliminated last night by the Minnesota Timberwolves. And Timberwolves weighed on the winner between the Houston Rockets and the Golden State Warriors. And unfortunately for the Golden State Warriors, they had a chance to close things out in Houston, Texas last night.
Not the case. They were annihilated. We got a game six tomorrow. The Warriors at one point in time were down 31 points. The Warriors lost to the Rockets 131 to 116. But the story from last night after the game into today wasn't about the beat down. It was about Steph Curry's hand.
Like there was a photo that started to go viral. And Steph Curry, you might recall, like the game before, he only had 17 points and they won. Jimmy Butler came back, had that amazing game. Big rebound, big shots, everything. And Steph Curry only had 17 points.
Last night, Steph Curry only had 13 points. And this photo that went viral basically showed him like the, Hickey, what is this called? I was going to call it a thumb knuckle. The knuckle of his thumb. Is that what it's called? I don't know.
Yeah, no, it's perfectly explained. The knuckle of his thumb right there. You only got one knuckle, right, for your thumb on his shooting hand. This thing was the size of a, I don't know, like a marble protruding on top of his skin. Like, I don't know what it is. Like, is there a torn ligament in there? Is it sprained?
Is it something broken? Does he need something shaved down? And he was caught like walking to the team playing. And so you would think, Steph Curry, I don't care how old he is. He's still one of the best shooters, one of the best players ever capable and likely to go off at any moment. To have 17 points in one playoff game, 13 points in another game last night. Something is wrong with this guy shooting the ball. The Warriors might be cooked if he can't shoot. Not only does Steph Curry have 13, Jimmy Butler only had eight points.
I guess his back stiffened up on him again. And I take a guess what terrible numbers Draymond had. Yeah, Steph Curry sucks and Butler sucks. You think Draymond Green said, I'll help you guys get 30? No.
Draymond had a whopping seven points, one rebound and one assist. Yeah. He's going into the Hall of Fame for being a pain in the ass. Good for him.
That is and riding the coattails of some of the greatest players in the game. It's not too shabby. No, not at all.
Not too shabby. He's going to know I was going to say he's going to get a statue maybe in Michigan, right? Oh, God. You think the wars are too good to get for him to have a statue? So only Steph Curry gets a statue? I think Clay Thompson is a real case to get a statue.
Oh, my God. If you give Clay Thompson a statue, Draymond Green is going to cry to sleep for a year if they don't give him a statue. They can put it across the street, but he has to get a statue, too. Well, I know one side of the arena is water, so you want to put it under water? Right.
In San Francisco. Put it in the put it in the bay. Why not put it on the side of the bay where the birds, the pelicans and everything could just sit on his arms and take a crap.
Why not? OK. That's the idea. I'm down for that. That'd be perfect. Put the Splash Brothers in the front and put Draymond across the street close to the bay.
Why not? Does the dirty work literally and figuratively? Let the birds take a crap on him. He's doing his part to help the environment.
Don't crap on the street. Crap on Draymond. Good. Anyway, Draymond gets crapped on enough.
And I got to be real. This this series might be over, OK? Like unless Steph Curry's thumb is perfectly fine, of which it is obviously not, they're done. And so after the game last night, Steph Curry was asked about his thumb. And then, of course, he wasn't going to say, yeah, my thumb is killing me. I got this wrong with it.
And this and I need to have surgery. He didn't say any of that. He basically tried to play dumb. He said, yeah, there's something. But you think I'm going to sit here and tell you?
Just listen to this back and forth with a reporter. State of your thumb right now. Cold. There was a picture.
I don't know if you've seen it online where it looks pretty swollen. I think it was with you walking in the plane. You got the feds on me? What are you talking about?
The Internet is the feds at this point. I love this league so much. I love it so much. How is your thumb besides cold because you're icing? I don't even know how to answer. It's just something you're dealing with and you keep it moving as long as I can play.
You got to rap for a reason. But that's it. Do you feel it's impacting your game at all? No. No, not at all. No, of course not.
Of course, shooting a basketball with an injured hand. Of course, it's not going to have an impact on how you play. Of course, the same way. How if, you know, I don't know, maybe if I sprained both of my ankles, I would absolutely run the same 40 as I would if I were healthy. Sure, absolutely.
The same way that if I had an issue with one of my eyes, then I would certainly be able to drive my car the same way with no issue. Sure, of course. Right. The same way that I'd be able to do a show, a radio show right now. If the mic was broken. Yeah, I'd figure it out some. I don't know. Maybe I'd send, you know, bat single signals over the air. Yeah, I don't know. It's impossible.
It doesn't work. Of course, his hand hurts. And Dylan Brooks, Dylan, the villain, the guy who was on my list last night, one of the most annoying players in sports, athletes in sports. He had a big game last night, 24 points. Fred Van Vliet had 26.
I'm in Thompson at 25. Dylan Brooks had 24. Oh, you know, he felt good enough to talk some crap. He was asked about Steph Curry's thumb. And he pretty much said, yeah, I want to punch the guy's thumb. I want to step on it.
I want to rip it off. Listen to this guy. No, I've been playing the game. Shoot, if you're going to come play the game injured or whatever, you guys are all about the ball about about the game. You know, if I had an injured ankle, I would attack that ankle every single time.
So whatever they're saying on the broadcast, they can keep saying it. Oh, not exactly. How are you going to attack an ankle like you put your foot out there when a guy comes down on a jump shot. You're going to step on a guy's foot when you come down for a rebound. I mean, those are all things you could do. You're accidentally going to step on the back of his heel. Hickey, when I played basketball, I wasn't a dirty play. These are just things that I've witnessed.
Right. These are never you, just opponents that you play doing it to their opponent. To me, to me, to me. They do this to me. Do you ever tell them about like your bad knees at the time? Hopefully not. Oh, you don't tell them.
No, no, no. My knees got bad because I was playing with these dirty players. Come on. They play dirty. I got to play dirty back. Hey, you're not the instigator. You're just defending yourself. Yes, I'm defending your teammates. I'm like. Yeah, I'm like Draymond, who's getting picked on and defending myself.
OK. Anyway, Steve Kerr defending his guy. He's like, you know what? The NBA got to change some of these rules because of Dylan Brooks thinks that he could just slap at Steph Curry's hand after jump shots. And because his hand is a part of the ball, if he thinks he can do that, the NBA needs to switch some things up.
Listen to Steve Kerr, a shooter shooter. The rule the NBA is once the shot has been released, you're allowed to hit the guy's arm. And so what's happened in the league this year is players always are they're going to outsmart, you know, the rules. They know what they're doing. So players all over the league are just taking shots at guys shooting hands after release because they know it's not going to be a foul. And I'm very confident that next year the league will fix it because it's only a matter of time before somebody, you know, breaks a thumb or breaks a hand or whatever. But these these are the rules. And these are the rules.
Steph Curry's hand is already cooked and then is done. I had the ISIS. Hickey, did you see that? It looks like. You know how you ever had what you you never had bursitis, right? No, no. Thankfully. Yeah, me neither.
I've never had it. But you've seen somebody who has bursitis on their elbow. Yes. And it's like extremely swollen. Yes. Yeah. It's like it's like, hey, there's an elbow with a grapefruit attached to it.
Right. And that's that's what Steph Curry's hand looks like. It's like, hey, there's his thumb. But why is there an abnormality the size of a I'm not going to say it's an apple, but you say it's the size of like a grape? Yeah, I think a grape is perfect. It's the size of a grape protruding off his thumb knuckle.
Thumb knuckle. Hey, never mind. Anyway, the Golden State Warriors are back in action tomorrow. The Houston Rockets will be in the Bay Area. They will be in San Francisco. And I can understand the Golden State Warriors.
They are a veteran team. If Jimmy Butler can move and Steph Curry can be a decoy, they can win tomorrow at home. But if I got to look at two basketball games and Steph Curry's hand is cooked.
I don't know. Maybe he's going to have a left handed 50 point game. Maybe he wants to shock us with how ambidextrous he is. He's been doing all on basketball drills that we always see uses both hands.
Man, you better use your left because if your right is done and the plan for the Houston Rockets is to slap the living mess out of your hand every chance. We might have a Golden State Warriors team. That is going to again. Are we going to see another bounce back on a three one? That might be the case. Depends on what's up with Steph Curry's hand. And we do not know.
It's probably getting worked on right now. Warriors better get it together. Rockets plan is to hurt that man. Legally. Dirty Dylan Brooks.
It's the JR Sport Brief Show on the Infinity Sports Network. 8 8 8 7 10 4 ISN. That's 8 8 8 7 10 4 ISN. We're going to take a break when we come back.
Yeah. The Rockets plan might be to rough up Steph Curry the best way possible. Apparently the New York Giants have a plan as to what they're going to do with their amazing quarterbacks. Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, Tommy DeVito and Jackson Dart. What a quarterback room. We'll tell you the Giants plan on the other side.
Hopefully it doesn't involve hurting anybody. You are listening to the JR Sport Brief. Oh, thank you. I appreciate that. I'm just here. I'm just a guy. I'm just here. I'm just an anonymous guy.
I'm not that anonymous. I'm just a guy sitting in a box in a high rise in Atlanta, Georgia. Looking out the window.
Wishing that every day was yoga day. Hickey, there's nothing outside today. I'm disappointed. Nothing.
Nothing outside the window for me to look at. Hold on. Is that once a week? Every Wednesday, bro. Just Wednesday.
OK. Let me tell you, they do all these. Excuse me. What'd you just say? I'm saying like you'd like a yoga outside yoga on a Wednesday is a good hump day activity like the yoga on Wednesday as opposed to Thursday or Friday. On Friday. No, I'm because what time is it? Six o'clock. Right. It's on when you're on.
Yes, correct. I mean, Friday at that point, no one's waiting around all day on Friday to go to yoga. And even Thursday, it's like long enough into the week where it's like Wednesday's a good middle day. People do yoga on Saturday morning when they're trying to sweat the liquor out. What are they doing? That's it.
You know, as a little way to kind of bounce back. That's their version of hair of the dog. Bikram yoga. That's where that puts you in a room. The room is like 200 degrees. And they say they say, hey, bend over and sweat.
That's what they tell them. You ever do that? No, no, I haven't done it once. Boy, do you sweat Bikram? How hot was the room for real? I did a while ago, but it's basically a sauna.
I mean, it's like 30 or 40. Did you weigh yourself before and after? I did.
And I wish I did. Oh, man. How much drenched? How much weight you think you lost?
I'd say five pounds. Yeah, all water weight, huh? We drank a lot. They told you drink a lot of water before. Me and my friend, we chugged a lot of water before. So you made sure before you you were hydrated.
OK, that's good. I mean, you are just sweating out and it's like probably half hour, 45 minutes. So it's like you're in there for a while. How did you hydrate? Were you fatigued afterwards? Did you? What did you do? Get a big meal?
What did you do? We actually probably did it the wrong way. Yeah, we had like five guys or something like that after. Oh, five guys?
Wait, wait, wait. You went to do yoga and sweat out your entire system. Yeah.
And then you plugged it up with five guys, burgers and fries? I was going. This is like in college. My friend played college soccer.
So he was kind of going to like get his like hamstrings loosened up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll go with you. Yeah, I don't know why.
I mean, this is just young and dumb. Yeah, we did it. Let's reward ourselves here. The nice, juicy, disgusting burger that we probably should eat before. Probably shouldn't have eaten in general.
But if we were going to eat it before, we could sweat it out afterwards. Hickey, I ran up a mountain in Lake Tahoe with no training and lived. OK. All right. It's just just how things go. I forgot what I. You know what happened? I don't even I don't even remember. This is crazy.
I think in the span of. I don't even know. I know I was sick before. I don't.
This sounds crazy as hell. I think I just came back from India. Right. Let me tell you something. You come back from India.
A lot of people go to India and their stomachs hurt while they're out there. Right. You have the food. The next thing you know, you're just you're crapping your brains out for me. No problem. I go to what was so funny. I just like that for you.
Yeah. When I go to India, no problem. I eat whatever and I'm good. You know, I'm not just, hey, what's that on the side of the road?
Give it to me. But I'm fine when I'm there. Hickey, when I come back home, I know I can't eat for about two weeks.
Almost two weeks. I can't eat. I cannot. If I eat it, there's a good chance. It's it's like a faucet. It's coming. It's it's coming in. It's going right out. OK. It's like, wow. So really, like you're not really is the ox. That's why it is two weeks to get over this.
Yes. I go over. I'm perfectly fine. I come back. I can't eat.
And so one day I literally I came home, I can't eat. And then somebody called me and just like, hey, do you want to do Tough Mudder? And I said, what? I say, yeah, you want to do Tough Mudder? I'm like, OK. It was it was in Lake Tahoe out in Nevada.
Hickey, this is and this is like right around Thanksgiving. I went out there and did it. You know, you know how many times I've trained to run anything in my life? You want to know? Zero.
Never. And I did it. Proud accomplishment. You know what?
People can Google it if they want. You can Google J.R. sport brief Tough Mudder. My ass ran Tough Mudder, I don't know, 10, 12, whatever years ago. Yeah, I did it. I lived. I lived. I made it. They have the electrical barbed wire, right? They have some crazy stuff in there. No, no, not me.
Not me. Some of those obstacle courses. I said no to some of the things. OK, what do you mean? You said I thought I could do an option.
I'm a grown ass man. I could do what I want. OK. Well, you say no. Thanks. I was going to go around. Yes.
Yes. They had a dumpster. They had a ice kick. He is an icy dumpster.
It's like Saturday morning on the top of a mountain in Nevada. And it's cold. And they got a dumpster, a dumpster full of ice water. And I'm supposed to. And there's a partition in the middle of the dumpster.
I'm supposed to go on one side of the dumpster, submerge myself in icy cold water, go under the partition and come up the other side. For what? What am I doing that for?
Is it not enough that I'm running up this mountain? Come on. I didn't do that. So what did you just said? I'm opting out of this. I'm just going to. Yes.
What do you think? They hit me with clubs because I said no. I did a Spartan race once, which is the junior version of the Tough Mudder. I don't recall like the option of like, oh, you don't have to go under this barbed wire. You can just, you know, forget the army crawler. Just just go around.
And yeah, sure. Just go to the next thing. Now I did that. No, no, I didn't do that either. I was coaching the individuals who were crawling under the barbed wire. I was coaching them. And I also declined the the electrical thing.
Yeah, because I wasn't getting electrocuted. No, no, no. That's insane to me. What's in Hickey in the break? Watch the video. Knock yourself out.
Oh, I think I might have I want to see the part where you say no, thank you. I want to see the people's reactions. Oh, no, I shook Hickey. I stood there.
I stood there next to the barbed wire and I waved my hand. Not me. You gave them a tumble.
No, no, no. I did. I said not me while they were going underneath. And I'm like, yeah, good job. Good job. Not me, though.
Not me. Yeah, I didn't do that. What else did I do? I didn't swing across on a rope.
I didn't do that. I did things that I did the monkey bars. I was in mud.
I ran. Yeah. So basically for the Tough Mudder, was it how long is it? Ten miles?
I don't know. All day. It's a long. I was up from like, I don't know. It's six a.m. and probably got back inside at like six p.m. Let's call it ten miles. I think it's a decent run. So you basically did this Tough Mudder.
You ran ten miles on a mountain and that's it. Yeah, right. Hey, hey, isn't this the end of the break?
Am I bugging? No. Oh, there we go. Yeah, we'll talk more about, yeah, we'll talk more about Tough Mudder, the New York Giants, and more. So check us out for a free show.
