Bronny James Set To Make NBA History (Hour 4)

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. Thank you to everybody tuned in and locked in all over North America. Happy Tuesday to you.

And thank you to our super producer and host, Ryan Hickey. He's in New York City. So whether you're in New York, here in Atlanta with me, you're out on the West Coast, getting ready for the Lakers in Minnesota. Maybe you're getting ready for the World Series. Maybe you're in Detroit trying to figure out what substance Jameson Williams took to fail a drug test.

I don't know. Speaking of L.A., Cooper Cupp, is he going to be a resident of L.A.? Sure, he's going to stick around. He might be traded.

We talked about that earlier in the show. Oh, yeah, the NBA season is under way. The Celtics are smacking, destroying the Knicks. Ninety nine to seventy.

Ouch. Jason Tatum said, Steve Kerr, you think I don't know how to play basketball? He has 32 points.

There's five minutes left in the third quarter. Jason Tatum is a man on fire. Hickey, maybe if he played in the Olympics, we wouldn't have such a tight game against Benyama in France, maybe. That's true. Thanks a lot, Steve Kerr, for lighting a fire under him. Appreciate that. Now watch when he plays the Warriors and Steve Kerr, he's going to suck in that game.

Five of twenty five. Yeah, he's doing too much too soon. This might actually be a good thing for the New York Knicks, Hickey. Like, this is not the worst thing in the world for the New York Knicks to get punched in the mouth and blown out after the first game of the season.

Wouldn't you say so? I'm sure probably Tibbs is loving it, right? Now he has an excuse to get in the wrasse. Don't be complacent. Last year's in the past. Let's go.

We're running sprints tomorrow morning. Well, outside of that, but not just for his sake, but this is good for the team. Like you just got you all just got together. Mikel Bridges is new.

Oji Inunobi, relatively speaking, is new to this is a different team. You got Karl-Anthony Towns. You don't need to go out and I guess if you were competitive with the Celtics, you would leave the game and go win or lose. If it was competitive, you go, yeah, we're right there with them.

The fact that you got punched in the mouth lets you know you ain't them and you still have work to do. Like for what you said, I was like, hey, don't be complacent. Good. I'm a Knicks fan. I'm happy they lost tonight, Hickey.

I am Bill's character. So this is now twice with the Jets, the Jets. You were I don't say rooting for them to lose, but you were weren't exactly upset when they lost. No.

And now you are seemingly not maybe not giddy, but you're excited to build some character. Yes, they got 80. Well, this is difference football. The Jets are different than the Knicks. The Knicks have 81 more games after this, bro.

Think about that. They have 81 more games. When I say it out loud, now I know how Joel Embiid feels because I'm like, damn it, I don't know if I could run up and down the floor for five minutes. Eighty one games. Oh, I'm tired already. My knees hurt. Mikel Bridges never misses the game, but they got 81 more games for the first game to lose to the champs in an embarrassing fashion. Good.

Build some character, get punched in the mouth, learn how to get up. Good. They'll still win 50 plus games. They'll still go to the postseason barring some freakish injury. The Knicks will be fine. There'll be a bunch of Nick fans making jokes and worrying about it. I'm not worried. They got beat by the champs who've been together a bunch of years and then they added all these other guys and everybody can shoot. Everybody can defend. They're the champs.

We'll see what happens with them. Hey, by the way, if you want to call up, you can 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. Find me online at JR Sport Brief. Thank you to everybody listening on the free Odyssey app on your local Infinity Sports Network affiliate Sirius XM 158. And if you got a smart speaker, ask the speaker to play the Infinity Sports Network.

All simple, all so easy. Well, we got one NBA game out the way, almost. Hickey, New York Knicks comeback. They're only down, you know, give or take 20.

OK, comeback, right? No, they're down 26, at least on my TV. You may be ahead, which may mean that it's even more. No, no. Twenty six with five minutes to go in the third quarter. So we are going to see New York Knicks.

I never heard of. We are going to see just how deep that bench is. Oh, boy. A lot earlier than I thought we would. Watch Thibodeau leave Josh Hart out there. Oh, and probably Brunson, too.

Oh, well, I think he wants to punish Josh Hart. You want to talk about not knowing your role? Now you know your role.

Play out there with the bums. New York Knicks. Interesting team. Good for them. They'll be fine. They'll be fine. Also, in about an hour from now.

We just might have history made. In Los Angeles. The Lakers are hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves. Get to see Anthony Edwards and I guess Julius Randle and LeBron James, Anthony Davis and everybody's favorite fifty fifth pick overall. Bronny James. And of course, we got to see Bronny, right? We have to see Bronny out there on the court with his dad. We have to get that moment, get it done tonight and get it out the way. I don't think Ken Griffey Jr. and his dad are showing up just for the hell of it.

They're showing up for the photo op. When do we get it? Is it at the beginning of the game? Is it at the end of the game?

When does this happen? LeBron James. This is the diplomatic version of LeBron. LeBron says we don't need to rush it. You know, when it happens, it happens.

I'm going to love it. Take a listen to LeBron. I mean, obviously, we had a moment when he was drafted. We all got an opportunity to, you know, to be together as a family in New York. You know, when he was drafted by the Lakers, we had a moment there because he was just thinking about, you know, not too long ago with the scare happening, you know, and, you know, when he's able to race the NBA floor, if that's tonight or whenever the case may be, it'll be another one of those moments. Oh, come on. Don't tease us now.

It's going to be tonight. LeBron James is entering into his twenty second NBA season. This is going to tie Vince Carter for the most seasons all time. And Bronny James, I don't know what he's I don't know what he going to do. No idea.

None. His last game in the preseason, he did have a decent game, 17 points, wow, seven of 17 from the field, four rebounds, three steals and a block in 35 minutes. Now, that's a lot of time in preseason against a lot of other backups that won't be playing in the NBA.

Some of. His first five preseason games for Bronny James, not good, a combined eight points on four of 20 shooting with five turnovers before that last game against the Suns, Bronny James was bad. Now, I'm not saying that he's going to turn into an NBA player.

I don't know. I think he's going to be a serviceable player. I think it's going to take time now whether or not he gets that time with the Lakers.

I don't think so. He's going to be down in the G League running them up and down the court, getting some minutes, getting better. They're just going to get this out the way. There's no reason for them not to get it out the way tonight. Throw Bronny James on the court and get it over with.

What are we waiting for? Why do we need to run this into another game? When is Bronny going to play? When is Bronny going to play? We don't need this. Get it over with. We all know why he's on the team, because he's LeBron's kid.

It's just flat what it is. If he's somebody else, he'd be in a G League from the get go, wouldn't be on an NBA roster. And God bless him for coming back from his heart issue. God bless him. Poor guy had a cardiac arrest. Man, we got people listening to me right now.

They know what the hell that is. They may have experienced it, but he's able to come back and play. And so let's see what his full development would have been. He was a McDonald's All-American. He did go to USC.

We talked about how bad the football program is. Let's see what he does as he develops. I'm not saying he's not going to be a rotation NBA player. I just know right now, I don't think so. Let's see if they get the photo op.

I believe it's somebody who ain't there for the photo op. Be absolutely hilarious if he dunks on him or goes at him. Anthony Edwards, he was all over the place today. This man took another step last year, knocking off the Phoenix Suns and his idol and going to the Olympics. He did everything, I guess, except for win a championship.

It wasn't wasn't going to happen. But Anthony Edwards, he's taking a step. He is one of the faces of the NBA without a shadow of a doubt. So much so earlier today, ESPN decided to release a photo shoot.

You might remember the old one from like 20 years ago, more than 20 years now at this point. Oh, my goodness. Randy Moss and Kevin Garnett, him and Justin Jefferson recreated that. And I guess when Anthony Edwards isn't trying to dunk on Bronny James, that'd be cool, wouldn't it?

That would be a tremendous welcome to the NBA rookie. They would have to do the graphic. Oh, that's not I can't. That's that wouldn't be cool. It would just go it would circulate widely on social media. Let's just put it that way. Or maybe Bronny James strips them and goes the other way.

Could you imagine that all the memes would be out of control? Be crazy. Well, Anthony Edwards outside of trying to win an NBA championship.

He told ESPN or he told Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings, he said, I have other goals. If I win a title, listen to this guy. Yeah, I think it's easier. Yeah. Football players can't go play basketball. Crazy.

No way. I told my buddies, I said, if I win a ring in the next three or four years, you're not going to football. I'm going to play football.

We're back at this again. He continued on saying that me and Derrick Henry are the same height. He's like, Derrick Henry outweighs you by like 40 pounds. He's like, well, yeah, I'm a fat guy. I work out.

I work for this. If I gained weight, I'd be Derrick Henry in the NFL. Now, to his credit, he did play football here in Georgia. He did play football here in Atlanta. Now, the last time he got hit by an NFL player, I don't know if the word is ever, probably not. He's never been hit by an NFL player.

So let's just close the door. Are there athletes who could develop into playing football? Yeah, I think there are.

But to just take a guy now and throw him out there? I don't think so. No, not by any stretch of the imagination. And the Timberwolves, I got to be honest. I think not having Karl-Anthony Towns, I think it's going to hurt them.

I think they got smaller. They might get up and down the court a little bit more. But Julius Randle is an interesting player. He can get you 20 and 10. He can get you more than that, more dribbles.

He's not as efficient of a shooter or good of a shooter at all as Karl-Anthony Towns. So what that spacing looks like for Anthony Edwards is to be seen. Dante DiVincenzo going to be out there tasked with taking more shots? I don't know.

Nas Reed, sixth man of the year. Is he supposed to go out there and do better? I'm not so sure. And the Los Angeles Lakers? Yeah, they won a championship last year. But they did win the playing tournament in Vegas.

That counts for something. LeBron James moving into year number 22. With the Lakers, it's the same old, same old. Is LeBron James going to have to do all the work? Is Anthony Davis going to be healthy? Surprisingly, he was healthy last season. And what? LeBron, is he going to continue just to be a Marvel?

25, 8 and 8? He turns 40 in December. He's fun to watch. He's great to watch. Lakers will go to the playoffs if their guys can stay healthy, relatively speaking.

And then we'll see what happens from there. And Bronny James, I think outside of tonight, here and there, I'm not expecting a lot of Bronny James. No, no. Hickey, how many NBA games do you think he gets into? 30 this year? 20? 15?

I would get into, I would say 13. Oh, wow. Low end. Low end theory. Low. Which will also be the stakes when he walks in, which is usually going to be a blowout in those 13 games he does play, maybe outside of tonight.

Bronny James, 55th pick. Four year contract. Guaranteed $8 million. His dad is a billionaire.

At least he doesn't have to ask his dad for money. That's good. Good. Wild stuff. 855-212-4227.

That's 855-212-4227. The NBA season is back. 82 games.

The Boston Celtics are likely to win the championship again. We're going to take a break. When we come back on the other side, give you an update on all the things going on with wide receivers in the NFL. Dealing with a lot of injuries and trade rumors.

Cooper Cup might be moving. We got some wide outs who are done for the season. I already told you about the one who's been suspended for drug use. There's a lot to get into. I'll fill you in on the other side of the break. And of course, at the end of the show, I'll share with you a bunch of things that took place this day in sports history.

You're locked in. It's the JR Sport Reshow here on the Infinity Sports Network. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief. It is the JR Sport Reshow here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network.

I appreciate you. Amongst all the basketball, the launch of the NBA season. What also, this might be the final season of the NBA on TNT. We have no idea.

We know that the NBA and Warner, Turner, Turner, Warner, I can give you a whole list of what they call Warner. They're in litigation right now. Like they're trying to sue to keep the rights.

So we have no idea what's going to happen. Welcome to a world really where litigation, but why do you, why do you want to be in a forced relationship? Amazon got the rights and you're, you're hickey. This is like suing to stay together. You can't do that.

Legally, I guess you can, but like the NBA is like, we gone and you just want to force yourself on them. I don't know. Yeah.

I don't think if a husband ever sued a wife to, I guess, nullify divorce. I don't think you're staying together. I would agree with that. Yeah.

I think it's, I think it's done. Amazon got the big bucks. They got their hands in everything. Hickey, I think Amazon, that could be wrong. I think they employ more people in the United States of America than anybody else. Or maybe I'm missing something, but I think they're up there.

Them and Walmart, I think. I mean, it makes sense because the deliveries are scary fast. Yeah, I know. Right. Somebody has to bring it to you. Right. I mean, you order that thing. It could be like within two hours. Boom.

There it is at your door. You need a lot of people to make those deliveries happen, make sure everything's in stock. It's a lot of work. You think I can do Amazon when I leave here?

I could do that right on the side. Yeah. I mean, I feel like they, you know, they don't go by the old USPS postal system time clock, you know, they work all hours. Shout outs to everybody working for Amazon.

I know we got Amazon workers listening to us. If it falls off the truck, send it to us. Okay. Well, Hickey, you want it sent here to Atlanta or are you in New York? You know what?

Give me an excuse to come down and visit you. Send it to Atlanta. Yeah.

Send it here. Ironically, there was an employee who I saw this is a Hickey. I guess somebody now they don't know. I saw an Amazon person. It wasn't, I'm not an Amazon person had a big old container.

Right. And it, it, it was being dragged onto the, the curb, but then the whole, you know, it fell off everything. The box fell over Hickey.

Okay. It was, it was a big box full of Amazon boxes. So this is being delivered and all this stuff fell over.

And so I'm walking by, you know, I'm not in a super rush. So I'm just, I asked the Amazon worker, I said, I said, am I allowed to help you? Do I get in trouble?

Do you get in trouble? And the Amazon person said, no, it's okay. I got it. And I made a joke. And I said, well, that's my iPad on the floor over there. And it was a joke.

And then the person laughed and I kept on walking. Thank you. These are a lot of boxes that fell in the street. Oh boy. Yeah.

Tough day. And it was just like, nothing like all the boxes fell. It's not my crap.

What do I got to deal with? You know, I'm like, Whoa, Whoa. There was enough for me to feel compelled to at least ask because what I didn't want to do was now pick help pick the boxes up. And the Amazon work is like, what are you doing? Like, you're going to get me fired. What are you doing?

There's a camera on the front of the truck. Like, what are you doing? You know, so you never know. Because sometimes like, you know, you try to help people out and they're offended or I'm doing something I'm not supposed to do. Or now I'm doing somebody's job or I'm screwing up protocol. You're not so Amazon work and not supposed to let somebody else touch the boxes. You do it. So I just went about my business, but I at least thought to ask, you know, As my mom says, no good deed goes unpunished. Oh, that's true. So if you were to help and started touching the boxes before you asked, I'm sure you could.

I'm sure you would've got scolded. What are you doing? What are you doing? This is my job. Don't touch that.

The supervisors up the street. You're going to get me fired. Oh, okay.

My bad. Okay. You got to be a good human here. How many human help? That's all like 20 Amazon boxes on the floor.

And like, I'm just, I know none of them are mine. I haven't ordered anything, but imagine you got a TV and a TV's on the floor. I mean, come on now. It's typically good with the returns and stuff. Be like your driver dropped it.

What you want from me? Anyway, shout outs to all the, uh, Amazon folks listening to us right now amongst all the NBA news. I did tell you so much news today involving the wide receivers. A couple of breaks ago, we talked about Jamison Williams or the Detroit lions two game band performance enhancing substance. Hickey, maybe he got one of those, uh, Yannick center massages.

He had open wounds that the drugs went into his system that way. Oh, interesting. Right. Right. Possible.

And maybe that's why it's only a shorter band because it's not directly going into your blood. It, you know, just rubbed it on them. Right.

It just found its way in there. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe one day we'll find out. Not right now. Speaking of that, this guy, does he need performance enhancing drugs?

I don't know. His legs are never healthy. I'm talking about Cooper cup, the man who's only played two games this season for the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams are going nowhere. I don't care if they beat the Raiders this past Sunday, they got a record of two and four and Cooper cup might be moving on.

Diana Rossini talked about this on Dan Levitard show tune in. Cooper cup, Kansas city chiefs. Is there a chance? If the Rams are willing to take on the salary, I heard that they're willing to do so. Uh, they are definitely open to trading Cooper cups. So we'll see if they'll be able to get a deal done. I just don't think Kansas city has even enough money, even if the Rams were to take on some of that salary.

Uh, that's been the problem. And the reason why they haven't been able to go after a Devante Adams, uh, an Amari Cooper, like we've seen other teams be aggressive with. I think the chiefs will figure something out, right? They have to, can't go the whole season like this.

I mean, even Juju Smith Schuster, who's been able to turn it up a notch. He's been dealing with a hamstring issue. I think Cooper cup, they need to move him. What the hell you holding onto him for? Got like $9 million remaining on his salary. The rest of this season, he's old $20 million each over the next two years.

He's 31 years old. The guy has busted up legs and they want a second round pick for him. It'll be a third rounder and they got to pick up some of the salary. Let it turn into a second rounder. If they, I don't know when a championship or something, this Cooper cup is going to get moved.

Now I'm certain of that. They played the Minnesota Vikings day being the Rams on Thursday. Is this going to be an audition for Cooper cup that he can stay healthy?

I think it might be. How is he moving around on what unfortunately is another leg injury? And speaking of the chiefs, and also I mentioned to you Juju Smith Schuster running around with that bum hammy. Andy Reed, he told us last week, he feels good about Juju Smith Schuster.

Listen to this. He's a veteran. He works hard and he's smart.

So I think all of those kind of go into that. Pat has trust in him. We as coaches have trust in him and we try to put him in good positions for his strengths and try to utilize those.

I think all of those things kind of add up to production. But the main thing is he's kept himself in great shape and he's he's smart. He knows how to play the game. He needs to be healthy first.

Oh, come on, man. Come on, Andy Reed. The Kansas City Chiefs are going to be fine, too. Got one of the best defenses in the NFL, regardless of his numbers. They still have one of the best quarterbacks. He is the best quarterback over the past several years in the NFL.

That's Patrick Mahomes, a future Hall of Famer. The Chiefs will be fine. Let's just see who they bring. And they got a perfect record so far.

They're running around at six or no. The trade deadline is November 5th. Let's see what they do. They're going to find a wide receiver somehow, some way.

They're going to readjust the contract and the cap somehow, some way to get some help in so they can go on their Super Bowl run. And then speaking of wide receivers, I can't talk wide outs and not mention the disaster that was last night. We saw what the Ravens did to the Buccaneers 41 to 31. The game wasn't as close as it looked.

It was close. That's why, unfortunately, one of the star players was there at the end. We saw Mike Evans go down with a hamstring issue and then we saw Chris Godwin. He went down with a broken ankle. They said it was dislocated.

And yeah, you could figure that one out just by taking a look. And so you have a team like the Buccaneers who should have been competing for an NFC South title. And I think they still will compete if the Falcons suck. Falcons have a habit of disappearing. They got no wide outs. Chris Godwin is now gone for the season. This was his free agent year. You're trying to earn that money, earn that check and then you break your ankle.

That really stinks. And then Mike Evans just talked about the hamstring of Juju Smith-Schuster. Mike Evans is going to be out for at minimum three games. And so Baker Mayfield, who's been lighting it up, who the hell is he going to light it up with? Sterling Shepard? Jalen McMillan going to light it up? I mean, he ain't seen a pass like this since he was at Washington with Pennix.

This is going to be interesting to see how the Bucs bounce back. But you want to know something? Todd Bowles, the head coach, no emotion, no thought, no love from Todd Bowles ever. He said, we ain't looking for no wide receiver outside.

Listen to this. We've looked at outside the building, but, you know, to get a true number one in here, you got to make some massive trades and give up quite a bit. That's not where we are at this point.

We feel comfortable with the guys in the building. They're probably not of name status of Mike and Chris or as accomplished right now, but that doesn't mean they can't play. We'll alter some things. And Jared will be back this week. We'll look at him in practice as well. And we'll make a decision off of that. But to go out and get a guy to come in here and be a number one and a dominant guy, probably going to cost you half your team. And we feel comfortable with the guys we have in here now. We know what their skill sets are and we're going to go with them right now. Look, nobody looked at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and said, Hey, Super Bowl contender.

Nobody did that. They're a team. They air it up in the air. They're trying to stay alive. And that's it. And they can do that in the postseason. I don't. Maybe they get lucky and went around and get bumped. I don't think that changes.

The benefits of them is that they play in the division, the NFC South with the Atlanta Falcons, who just, well, we know they know how to, uh, to choke instead. It's the JR sport. We show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network, eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven.

That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. We are going to take a break. We come back on the other side. Yeah, we're going to start to wrap things up. We're going to go back in time to a few things that took place this day in sports history. The phone lines are open. If you want to give me a holler, that's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. And this is a real busy, big weekend in Los Angeles in the world of sports.

I'll give you an update on that before we roll out as well. It's the JR sport brief show. You're listening to the JR sport brief.

It's the JR sport brief show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. Oh, it's it's a final. The Boston Celtics beat the Knicks 130. No, they didn't beat them. They beat the brakes off of 132 to 109. Jason Tatum has 37 points.

I'm a hickey. Everybody got something here. Tatum has 37. Derek White has 24. Jalen Brown has 23. Hofford has 11. Drew Holliday had 18. And they hit a record what three point?

How many? Twenty nine. Did that tie that tied the record right? Did it tie it? Tied the record one away from breaking it.

Damn shame. First game of the season, the Knicks get waxed on their end. Jalen Brunson has 22. Karl-Anthony Towns, welcome to New York. He had 12 points. O.G.

Ananobi had four. Mikel Bridges had 16 points. Not good for the New York Knicks to open up and start their season.

We're now 20 minutes away from the Los Angeles Lakers in the Minnesota Timberwolves from getting started. Everybody waiting to see when and if and how LeBron James is inserted onto the court with his dad, LeBron, for a little bit of history. And look, Jason Tatum is actually smiling on the basketball court as he chats with Ali La Force. Hickey, did he smile? He smiled at the Olympics. He was a good sport, right? He did. He smiled. Between the tears, I think so.

I think he did smile. Maybe we got the medal on his neck. Oh, OK. All right. Not that I'm a gambler. Is there some way I could gamble on when Bronny will get into the game? No, no, I'm not sure.

What would you, though, bet if there if those lines were available? When are you saying? The second quarter. Right now, the second quarter, you can't put them you're going to put them in a wave or like they got got they got guys who can actually play. Gabe Vincent can play.

He's a pro. You can't just say, Bronny, which is going to throw you out there just because you can't do that. Is it too disrespectful? You know, like the end of the half, there's like, you know, two or end of the quarter, two seconds left. You put someone in there just so someone else doesn't get foul trouble. If the Lakers are on defense, do you put them in there with LeBron end of a quarter, end of a half, like two seconds left just for some defensive support? Oh, man, that's that's that's how you disrespectful to who, him or or the Timberwolves or the game?

I guess neither the moment maybe is the best way to phrase that. You're saying let's get Bronny into the game just to foul somebody? That, I mean, because he technically would then play with his dad, technically would make history. But is it one of those foul and get off like it's one of those you're barely playing because you don't deserve to play?

Is that would that is that good enough? Because I think that also goes into this decision, right? If you're J.J. Riddick, it's not just.

Well, help me out again. You're saying at the end of the game or at the end of the first half? And even at the first quarter, like, you know, like those end of quarter, end of half situations where it's like two seconds left. The Lakers are on defense. Other teams inbounding. And, you know, maybe you don't want one of your star players who was already in foul trouble. Take him off because you're not going to get an offensive possession.

So to get him friend, I'm having another foul. Let's put Bronny in just like the last second here. I think so. But I think that's kind of cheap. Like, it's just like, hey, like, he's a make a wish kid now at this point, right? I mean, I am.

OK, you're not. Yes. And that's why I was asking, like, is that like ruining them? Like, not that he deserves, you know, but it's like, yeah, it's you got to let him play a few minutes.

You got to you got to leave him out there, let him get a sweat, go back and forth, up and down the court and then just sit him down for whatever circumstances. I think so. How much is LeBron going to feed him?

You think probably a lot? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Look, if we should be so lucky. We get an alley.

You the world is not that perfect. Who's allying? Who's ooping?

Oh, come on. I don't know. The young one has to throw it. I don't know.

I can't even say passing of the torch because the sun sucks. Now he does. I don't know. Wouldn't be cool if the kid threw it to his dad. Right. Or LeBron throw it to his boy.

I don't know. I'll be a real jerk here. What can Bronny even dunk? Yes, he can dunk. Yes, he can dunk.

If LeBron throws it up, you're comfortable. Bronny can come down with it. Yes, absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. He can dunk.

He can dunk. Okay. I was just saying, okay. And you know what I hope we don't get?

Hope we don't get Michael Strahan sacking Brett Favre. Okay. All right. I don't need no gimmies. I don't need the Timberwolves like somebody is like a fast break and one of the Timberwolves goes, you know what? Just just go ahead. I'm just going to slow down just a smidge.

Be competitive. Let's see Bronny get crossed up. And wouldn't it be kind of wouldn't it be awful if we didn't see Bronny at all tonight? I know we heard from LeBron. He's just like, oh, it happened tonight or the next game or not, bro. Ken Griffey's in town. He ain't showing up to every Lakers game with his dad.

Okay. Let's get this nonsense the hell up on out the way is get it over with. And speaking of L.A., there is so much going on this week in L.A.

It is just it's wild. So on Friday, just on Friday, you have game one of the World Series with the Dodgers. That's a Dodgers stadium.

You have Lakers sons at crypto dot com. Stupid arena. You have USC and Rutgers at the Coliseum.

We talked about that earlier today. You have a concert at the brand new Intuit Dome. That's the home of the Clippers. You got a you got a football game at SoFi Stadium.

Trying to get around L.A. is crazy. Like our guest earlier, Scott Schrader said, everybody is just not a day that you want to drive. I think we we all know that Lincoln Riley, he may want to stay home, but he's going to be coaching.

He says, you know what? Friday, Rutgers football, perfect time to have a game. Yeah, sure.

Listen to this. The perfect week. I mean, really, like it's, you know, the guys were able to sleep on the flight home the other night. We all work the entire flight home and got a good job. And I think it's a good one just mentally to kind of be able to just like to dive right in. It's like you don't have time to do anything else, but just go.

Oh, he wants to play because his team is sucked. You might as well try to wash the stink off. If they don't beat come on now, they got to beat Rutgers. U.S. UCLA just beat Rutgers in New Jersey.

You've got to beat Rutgers. Anyway, that's the future. That's Friday. Let's go back in time.

It's the J.R. sport show here on the Infinity Sports Network. Today is Tuesday, October 22nd. Let's go back in time.

Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore, but some days I sit and wish I was a kid again. It's time for this day in sports history. You see, back in those days, we had radio and you couldn't see anything.

It was primitive and lousy and we didn't see anything. It is the J.R. sport show here on the Infinity Sports Network. Let's go back in time.

October 22nd. The year is 2012 in an athlete that I cannot stand because he bullied other people into cheating with him. It's Lance Armstrong. Listen to this ABC News report because Lance Armstrong, on this day, he had his seven Tour de France titles stripped.

He's been banned for life. Seven golden moments on the victory podium in Paris erased. Today, Lance Armstrong was officially banished from the sport that he was once synonymous with. Lance Armstrong has no place in cycling, so he deserves to be forgotten in cycling. Over the weekend, a few stoic words from a shell-shocked Armstrong at his cancer foundation's 15th anniversary. People ask me a lot, how you doing?

And I tell them, I say, well, I've been better, but I've also been worse. Armstrong has not only his reputation at stake, but his estimated $125 million net worth. Major civil cases are on deck from a company that wants more than $10 million back for bonuses it paid to Armstrong for his wins to a sealed whistleblower case looking for tens of millions paid by the U.S. Postal Service to sponsor Armstrong and his team. Those who went up against Armstrong over the years say he kept the fairy tale alive by threatening anyone who raised the doping question.

Former bicycling magazine editor-in-chief Steve Madden now writes, Armstrong exerted a Corleone-like influence in the cycling industry. He could make an advertiser disappear from our pages. Damn.

Hickey, I'm going to make you cheat with me, and if you don't cheat with me, I'm going to get you fired. Evil. Evil behavior. That's what he did to everybody. He did that to everybody.

Crazy how he got away with it for so long. Yeah, he did. Nobody punched him in the mouth. Nobody said, hey, let me send this email.

Nobody. He was that, he was that boss like. I know he raised a lot of money for cancer. God bless him for being a cancer survivor himself, but nasty. Nasty man. Anyway, hey, October 22nd.

The year is 2016. Shout out to all the Cubs fans out there. I know you were enjoying this because this is the only championship you remember seeing. Well, not this day, but they did get a step closer. The Cubs beat the Dodgers to win their first NL pennant since 1945. They won a series four to two.

Take a listen to this from Fox. These fans will never forget where they were on Saturday, October 22nd, 2016. As for the first time in 71 years, the Chicago Cubs have stamped their ticket to the World Series. Yeah, we know they went on to the World Series and the Cubs won.

They beat Cleveland four to three. Ben Zobris was the MVP in 2016 was their first title since 1908. Who needs a billy goat? Who needs a billy? Haven't had goat in a long time. Hickey, you've had goat before, right? You had goat?

No, never. I love goat. I didn't know that was a possibility. To eat goat? Oh yeah.

Oh yeah. Hickey, I'm gonna give you some curry goat. You want some curry goat? Sure. I guess. Is it good?

Oh my God. It's delicious. Curry goat is delicious. Are you sure you can eat goat? I've never heard of a menu offering goat before. For lamb, venison, veal, goat?

Hickey. I've eaten curry goat my whole life. Yes. Delicious. You ever had oxtail?

No, I have not. Oh my God. Oh my God.

It's amazing. Oxtail? Yeah. Hickey, the next time I'm back in the city, we go into the Jamaican restaurant. Okay. I may have to take off the next day, but okay.

I'll go. No, it's delicious. Oh my God. Hickey, if I might have to find some curry goat tonight. Wow. It's that good, huh? Curry goat's delicious.

I love it. Haven't had it in a while. Trust me, Hickey. Trust me.

I will trust you. It's better than your peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch. No, there's no way. Yeah, it is. They make me good. It's not that good. You had two? Two, you know it. Okay.

All right. What brand of peanut butter? Jif, always. Jif. J-I-F or is it G?

J-I-F. J-I-F. Okay. There we go. Lowercase too.

All lowercase. Okay. Yeah. Red, green, brown bar? Is that what it is? A blue bar? You know it.

Good for you. And good for the Boston Celtics. On their way to defending another championship, they knock off the Knicks 132 to 109, and we might be witnessing history at some point over the next few hours. Minnesota is in Los Angeles to take on the Lakers. We might see history made with Bronny and LeBron.

First father-son duo playing on an NBA court at the same time. Look, the JR Sport Reshow here on the Infinity Sports Network is done. It's over.

It's a wrap. We'll be back with you tomorrow at 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. Of course, we're going to have a new top six list for you. Thank you so much to Scott Schrader for joining us to talk USC. Thank you for the calls.

Thank you for the messages. Much love to everybody in North America. Yeah, that means you too, Canada.

I love you. And my friends in, I don't know, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton, every place. Okay. And I love America, of course.

It's where I live. The JR Sport Reshow is done. Y'all be safe.

Be well, be cool, be smooth. Let's see if we have a new day in sports history. More history. LeBron and Bronny. When are they going to play?

They already got the Griffey's with them. We'll catch you tomorrow. Be safe, people. Thank you, Hickey.
