Steph Curry's Future (Hour 4)

It is! The JR Sportbree Show on the Infinity Sports Network. I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Happy Friday and happy Valentine's Day. Thank you to super producer and host, Ryan Hickey.

He's in New York City. Thank you for tuning into the show. It's the weekend folks.

I'm happy to help get you here. The show gets started every weekend, or excuse me, every weekday. I ain't here on the weekends. This show is every weekday. It's 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. We've had a busy Friday.

We talked about the Philadelphia Eagles in their parade, getting you all set and ready for NBA All-Star Weekend regardless of how terrible it might be. And the celebrity game is done. Hickey, the guy who's hosting the MVP award, I don't know who he is. I believe when they introduced him, his job career was actor. Okay. But I agree. I can't remember his name. Never heard of him. Yeah, that wouldn't help me.

How about this? Team Barry Bonds beat team Jerry Rice, I think 66-65. Is that what it was? I thought it was a blowout. I thought they won by 20.

It looked like it. Anyway, we're waiting for the Rising Stars challenge. How exciting. Tomorrow is a slam dunk contest, equally as exciting. The three-point shootout with no Steph Curry, real exciting. And then the All-Star game on Sunday.

Four teams of guys that we all hope go out there and play hard. Hope. Anyway, I'll be hanging out with you for the next hour. You want to call me?

You can. 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. We talked about Tyreek Hill getting ready to race Noah Lyles. We talked about Cam Newton. He responded to everybody that he called a loser. He's like, y'all are still losers. He's like, it's the truth. We were losers. Not you individually, but yeah, we were all losers. Okay.

Anyway, you can dress it up. Thank you to Chris Franklin again for my NJ.com. What a day. What a day. Nicky, this is an interesting.

And then in baseball, we talked baseball too. How about that? Kind of crazy. Someone was not in a loving mood today in the Yankees. Oh, you think Stroman wasn't in a loving mood? He seemed pretty hostile, or at least at the bare minimum adamant that he was not going to do something he did not want to do. He's going to start.

Well, he said he showed up because it's Valentine's Day and he's in a loving mood. Let's listen to Marcus Stroman. This guy's owed $18 million by the Yankees. He's not in the starting rotation right now. The Yankees ain't gonna have no six man starting rotation. He's the sixth man, especially now that they added Max Freed from the Braves.

Marcus Stroman showed up to work today, stood in front of the media and he told everybody, I'm going to start. I ain't going to no bullpen. Could you handle being a reliever? So right now, I'm a starter, the six starters.

So how do you handle that? See how it plays out? I'm a starter. You don't want to pitch a bullpen?

I won't pitch a bullpen. I'm a starter. I'm a starter my entire career.

Look at the numbers and how many people can stay healthy and do it. 30 plus stars year after year after year, especially after being the one that they said could never do it at my size. I'm a starter. Yeah, well, he has been a starter. That is accurate in his career. Historically, he's been a good starter in the first half of seasons and a bad one in the second half.

And so, I mean, you make of that what you will. All things considered, he is a starter. Brian Cashman of the New York Yankees, the general manager, in order to kind of keep his trade value high. He agreed. He's a starter.

He damn right. He's a starter. Listen to the Yankees GM. He is a starter.

I agree with him. He is a starter, you know, and so let's just see how everything plays out. You know, six weeks of spring training there about is typically a lot of twists and turns and winding roads before you get to opening day. And so let's, you know, we'll deal with, you know, opening day when we get there. Okay.

All right. Busy day in Florida, busy day in the Bay Area. We'll get to Steph Curry. We'll hear some clips from the Philadelphia Eagles parade. Of course, at the end of the show, we'll talk about a few things that took place this day in sports history.

And so we got a lot to do. And then we had the Friday funny. We've had a couple of good jokes. We had a bad joke. If it's a good joke, I'm going to remember it. Like the last joke we got from New Orleans. The man asked me, what did Patrick Mahomes do after the Super Bowl loss? He said he called Jake from State Farm to report a loss. It was funny. Hey, when he said it, it was funny. Okay.

855-212-4227. It's Valentine's Day. And show some love. Hey, we got Evan from Baltimore. You're on the JR Sportbreeze show. What's up, Evan?

Hey, not a great segue, JR, because I'm about to hate on Valentine's Day. And you can do what you want. You're on the radio.

Go ahead. No, my joke of the day is this guy who brought three different girls into my restaurant where I cook at. And he, where you could seat yourself here. And he sat himself and the different girl in the same booth every time.

Had the same server every time. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. So there's a guy who came to your restaurant today. Within a six hour period. In six hours, he had three dates. Three different dates. Oh my God.

And he sat in the same place? So what's the problem here? Help me out. What am I missing?

The holiday is a joke. Women, take yourself more seriously. That's all. Oh my God.

Okay. Hey, Evan, maybe the women know. Maybe they don't care. You know, if he's a pimp, he didn't dress like one. Hey, you don't gotta, listen. What does a pimp dress like? A pimp doesn't need a, you know. I'm not expecting him to look like Kat. Oh, Kat Williams?

Yeah, he doesn't need a perm and a purple suit. Come on now. Well, thank you, Evan. Thank you for the, I didn't think we'd talk about a pimp on Valentine's Day, but thank you, Evan.

Is there anything else you got or is that it? No, it's just, I thought it was funny, man. He could have sat somewhere else, no? I mean, if he's comfortable there and the women don't care, I mean, I'm sure they know about each other. I don't know.

Closest boots to the door. Maybe he was just trying to get up out of there. Listen, Evan, people have done wilder things. Okay.

That's true. Maybe one was his girlfriend, one was his wife, and then one was his mother. Yeah, well, if he had a wife, a girlfriend, and a mother, they were all the same type, and he has the type.

Oh, wow. Were they ugly? No, just like, crusty. You said trashy? Crusty. Well, yeah, trashy is a good way.

Crusty? Oh my God. Okay. Well, what does it say about the restaurant you help out at? Oh my goodness.

I don't know. Maybe we just came up with good deals on Valentine's Day. I got you, Evan. Well, enjoy the rest of the week, and I hope it's very fruitful, okay? Take care, buddy.

All right, thank you. Evan calling from Baltimore. Hickey, he just called the women in Baltimore, crusty.

He said it. I haven't heard that term since probably high school. Crusty? Crusty.

What did I call the women? I said trashy. I said trashy. Trashy.

And he responded with, they were crusty. That's, I mean, in one sentence, game, three girls. Basically, it's called for two hours at a time, right? Roughly. So what did he do?

Hey, babe, let's go to lunch. And he did what, 12 o'clock or one o'clock? One, three, five. Boom, boom, boom. One, three, and five.

He was able to hit the happy hour special on the last one. Okay. Smart man.

Yeah, afternoon, afternoon special. Yeah, who's paying for all that? Who's paying for all of that?

Why not just to help yourself? I know it's a numbers game. Settle on one.

How about you commit to one and figure out what, you know, the other two are just fallbacks. Tell them all three to come at the same time. No, that'd be fun. Well, Hickey, is that what you do?

Oh no, sorry. Not for, I'm saying that'd be fun from my perspective as someone who has no involvement. He would probably be in big trouble, but it'd be fun to see the reaction when all girls realize, oh, you're here for Johnny. Well, I'm here for Johnny, but you're here for Johnny too.

What's going on here? They all have a good, they all have a good time together later. I, some people flow that way. And listen, people are, some people are polygamists, right? Nothing wrong with that. Yeah. Oh yeah. Monogamous, polygamy, whatever you want to celebrate.

You, you, you go for it. Valentine, Valentine's day is four at all. It's expensive day though. Even, even with the discounts, it's an expensive day. You're right.

You're right. There's a lot of food to eat in three hours and six hours. You said, babe, I got a stomach ache. You know, I have a glass of wine. Do you order the same thing three times?

You can't, right? You're there in the same restaurant, in the same booth. You order the same thing three times? Tell a guy to clean the table two times?

Like, what are we doing? Like, hey, I got somebody else coming. Hurry up and bust this table. The waitresses or waiter's reaction must have just been priceless.

I hope they got a good tip. The three dates. Oh my God. Back to back to back.

No thanks. Oh, Johnny, you again? I mean, I haven't seen you in a while. You, you would think people who work in the service industry a little bit better than that, right?

You would think, it probably happens more than you, you know, more than you would think. I had a friend who was trying to be a jerk. Hey, Hickey, a couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine was trying to be a jerk. Goes over to somebody. He goes, I forgot what he said, but he's trying to be a jerk. I saw you yesterday or something like that. I go, Oh, he did not.

You didn't see me yesterday. Oh damn. Yeah. Yeah. That tips going right at the window. Yeah.

People always trying to stir some stuff up. 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. Don is here from Canada. You're on the JR sport brief show. What's up, Don? Hey.

Hey, happy to be here. Um, I just wanted to, uh, chime in about, stir it up a little bit about a joke you guys didn't like. Um, my oldest kid is into comedy, so we kind of studied comedy theory and I thought that was a masterclass. Like he built it up slow and there's a rule of threes in comedy, funny, funnier, funniest. And I was in my car laughing out loud like a fool by myself. Oh my God.

At the most of the Virginia. He could have shaved a 30 seconds off of telling that joke and it could have still had the same effect. No way. Yeah. Yes way. Yeah, man. He, he tells, he told the joke, I talk for a living.

Okay. There's a, there's a pace to it. He could have had the same joke and the same effect and the same pauses and the same setup in 30 seconds less. Possibly.

But when they saw the jarring part of the build up, I just thought it amplified the punch. Well, I'm glad it made you laugh, Don. Here's, here's, here's your Tom DeShawn. You, your dad, you said your dad, your kid is studying comedy? Yeah. How old you say your kid? Is this an adult child or like a minion? No, she's 10. Oh, she's 10. Is that still minion age? That's a minion, right? Yeah, a little bit older.

The youngest one is a minion kid. Okay. All right. So here, I know you, you got a dad joke somewhere. Come on, educate, entertain North America. Give us a joke. Oh my God. Come on. Let's go dad joke. A dirty joke. How's that? No, no. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Is this a joke that you can tell in front of your kids? Yup. Okay. Go.

Okay. Go for it. Go for it.

Go for it. A white horse jumps in a mud puddle. See, that's funny because it's unexpected. A white horse jumps into a mud puddle? Dirty.

It was dirty. The horse? Yeah. And the joke.

That's the real comedy. All right, dad joke. Hey, hey Don, have a good Valentine's day. Okay.

Thanks. Go wrap. Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait. In Canada, you do Valentine's day on the 14th too, or you'll wait till tomorrow? Of course. Why won't we wait till tomorrow, man?

I don't know. Y'all, y'all don't do Christmas. You do boxing day, right? No, we do Christmas too. Well, y'all do Thanksgiving in October. Oh my gosh.

Yeah, that's true. But I don't know. You were surprised that there was a Dairy Queen here. So nah, that's not, y'all got Tim Hortons up into Canada. Come on. Okay. Tim will destroy any coffee in the state for sure. Well, I don't like, I'm not a coffee fan. I'll drink it maybe once a year so you can have all of your coffee everywhere. Okay.

Okay. You can keep your coffee and your maple syrup. You can keep all of, all of your, what do you, what's the plural of moose?

You got Meese? Keep them. Mooses. Mooses.

Keep all your mooses and your Toronto Raptors. Okay. No way.

They refuse this kink. I will keep them. All right. Bye Don. Thank you. Thanks. Yeah, bye. No doubt.

Okay. I want you to Tim Hortons. Hickey, for whatever reason, there's a Tim Hortons down the road from me. I bet you didn't know that. I did not know that.

Interesting. There's a Tim Hortons right down here, body, not far from the arena. I'm like, what is this doing over here? For what? It feels like it's in the north. It belongs in Canada. What is this doing over here? In Atlanta? Here to get robbed. There's no other reason.

855-212-4227. Hickey, I was glad. I'm like, yeah, you do, you do Valentine's. They do Valentine's Day today. They celebrate all these other holidays that we do, but they're going to have Thanksgiving.

Is it? I think it's October. It's October. Well, Thanksgiving is an American holiday. That makes no other country celebrates it because it's our holiday. They do Thanksgiving. What are they, what are they thinking for? I know why we have Thanksgiving. It's not the nicest thing in the world. What are they doing? I don't know. I didn't even know that Canada had Thanksgiving, to be honest with you.

October, you said? Canadian things. Well, I guess in theory, then they were founded, right? I mean, I guess Christopher Columbus, depending on where he came from, maybe stumbled upon Canada first. He's like, it's too cold up here. I'm going south.

And all of a sudden, boom, look at that. America, New England. I'm not doing this.

Let me find an island somewhere that I could say is mine. Yeah. Canadian Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated on the second Monday on October. Oh my God. On Monday for Thanksgiving?

I take that back. I like our Thursday. It's a day to give thanks for the harvest and to spend time with family and friends. Now what's, what's better having a Thanksgiving on a Monday or Thursday? I still think Thursday because 95% of people take that Friday off. So it's like a long four day weekend. So you get, you get, uh, you can kind of get Wednesday kind of right. Travel, travel day, day off, do whatever. You get drunk with your friends the day before Thanksgiving, everybody's in town. Classic. You get a little Wednesday, you get Thursday, you get Friday, you get sad. Oh my God. Saturday is Sunday.

You're still suffering. The football is back on Sunday and Thanksgiving. You get five days to act a fool. Now on Monday for Thanksgiving in Canada, I'm assuming they start on Friday, right? I don't know. You would think, but still then you're at the end of the bender and then all of a sudden if you're back to work Tuesday, who's doing that?

It's like, Oh boy, you know, back here we go. That doesn't seem that fun. Somebody in Canada needs to move Thanksgiving to a reputable day. Like Thursday.

Yeah, I could do it. One thing they didn't do right Canada. Yeah. I wonder if they, I wonder if they do hockey on Thanksgiving day.

I don't know. They don't, I was going to say, they don't have a football team to play. So watch the Argonauts or something like that. The Alouettes. The Alouettes. What city is that? Montreal? Yeah.

I have no idea. I think no Argonauts is Toronto. Alouettes I think is like Montreal or something like that.

8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. Todd is here from Wisconsin. You're on the JR sport re-show. What's up, Todd? Hey brother. How are you? I'm amazing. What's on your mind? Good brother.

Good. Look, I got the Hamburglar here. He wants to meet you. The Hamburglar from McDonald's. Hey, nice to meet you.

The Hamburglar. Hey, he's got his wife here with him. Hello.

Hey, I want you to meet my wife Patty. Oh my goodness. Okay.

Do you, are you, are you, are you like throwing your voice on the radio? Smuggled a little marijuana, you know. What did you just say? Okay, Todd.

Smuggled a little marijuana. Okay. All right.

Is there anything else that you have to add? No, I'm all good. Okay. Thank you, Todd.

Enjoy Mary Jane. Okay. Yes, sir. Okay. All right. All right.

Well, I will. Whoa. Oh my goodness.

Hickey, where the hell is that from? That is Charlie Weiss. Charlie Weiss.

Is that from the office? Oh, the coach? Yeah, the coach, Charlie Weiss, who's just as shocked as you are that Todd is smoking some Mary Jane and having that joke on the air. Oh my goodness.

Oh my goodness. You said Charlie Weiss. I'm like, wait, who? I was like the coach?

Charlie Weiss, the coach. Kind of random. Wow.

Random, but I think it fits there. It did. Better than the Kawhi laugh. I'll tell you that much.

The Kawhi laugh is like, it's heart startling. Oh man. Oh, Hickey's actually playing basketball.

He's played the past couple of games. How about that? I know. How about that?

Now he's got a little few days off to rest and that means maybe he'll be even healthier now coming out of the break. Hickey, I looked at a box score. He, well, Ben Simmons played good basketball. How about that? I know. And then I was like, Ben Simmons, he played, but then Kawhi did it. I'm like, okay, of course. If them two guys played on the court at the same time on the same team, I just, the world might explode.

It's quite, quite possible. It's the JR Sport Brief Show on the Infinity Sports Network, 855-212-4227. We're going to take a break when we come back. You know what? Well, I'll let you hear from Ben Simmons about his, his return to action.

He actually looked like a good basketball player. We're going to hear from Steph Curry, who was doing a lot of celebrating this weekend, not just of his career, but he's pretty much the host of All-Star Weekend. We just got a lot to do. The Eagles had their parade. We got to roll out and share a few things that took place this day in sports history.

And I'll take more of your calls. It's the JR Sport Brief Show, Friday night, Valentine's Day, the Infinity Sports Network. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief.

It is the JR Sport Brief Show on the Infinity Sports Network. I told you, NBA All-Star Game is this weekend. We got four teams. Well, the All-Star teams have been broken up into four teams, including a Rising Stars team. You're going to have two games, two teams playing each other. Then we'll whittle it down to two teams versus each other to win the championship.

And the NBA is hoping that things are a whole hell of a lot more exciting than the traditional East versus West format. And so Steph Curry playing this game in San Francisco, he's the star of the show. It's hard to believe because he doesn't look it, but Steph Curry turns 37 years old next month in March. This man was drafted in 2009.

Two-time NBA MVP, four-time champion, 15-time All-Star, greatest shooter of all time. And he is still going. And now he has Jimmy Butler with him, still has Draymond Green. And we'll see how things develop this year for the Warriors.

I'm not all that confident. And so the fact of the matter is, Steph Curry is on limited time. So last night he had 27 points in a Warriors victory. He can still go out there and light it up. He can still knock down a million shots in a row. And the benefit of being a shooter, that shot doesn't go. The lift might go, the athleticism might go, it will go, but the shot typically, man, we see old guys busting ass in the YMCA.

That shot does not go. But Steph Curry has honestly talked about his own basketball mortality, understanding that he's closer to the end than he is to the beginning. And as he's about to be celebrated throughout this NBA All-Star weekend, he says, you think about retirement more and more. I'm not at the farewell yet. That's just part of the time.

If you're fighting human nature or fighting the inevitable in that, then I don't think you're handling it right because you need a little bit of fear of what's coming. What an end might look like to inform decisions that you're making now and appreciate what's going on right now. Steph Curry continued on. Let's take a listen. This is from NBC Sports Bay Area.

Early in the week, he spoke and he says, you know what? I'm going to appreciate this All-Star weekend more because I ain't going to be here forever. But now having, you know, the All-Star game here and my kids growing up, this, you know, Bay Area is their Bay Area is their home.

They're like the human visual of your career and seeing how fast it's gone by and knowing that, you know, basketball won't be, I won't be playing forever. So to cherish every game, every year, every opportunity to share with your family and milestones like, like this weekend. All right. Okay. That's about you. Enjoy your kids, your family. You got a great life. Things are good for the Currys.

Okay. When we watch this game on Sunday, Steph, they got a new format. We got four teams battling it out for one spot. It's like the playground.

Steph Curry. Is this game going to be better than the garbage we've gotten in the past? I hope so. I think the idea that to your point, it's okay to change and try new things, knowing the energy around the game and kind of dwindle the last couple of years. You know, if it works, I think, well, I hope it works knowing that it kind of divides the All-Stars as an element of the young guys from the rising stars competition will be the fourth team in there to, to battle.

I think the idea of a new format, something that creates a little, a little version of something to look forward to. Obviously the players have to play. We got to compete and you know, us being, or me being the host, I'm going to try to initiate that, but I think it's just a good idea to kind of switch it up and make, make sure the fans have a little something to look forward to and we'll see if it works.

Please, please, please, please. I hope so. And I hope that younger team just helps provide that, that spark. Cause they ain't got nothing to lose.

There's no expectations. And they're not going to try to walk around on, against these older guys or any of the teams, the younger guys are gonna, they're gonna go. The Ahmen Thompson's, the Asar's, they're going to try to go out there and compete.

And speaking of competing, you know, it's funny Friday, we took a bunch of your jokes. I mentioned Ben Simmons. It's hard to believe.

Yeah. Ben Simmons has been an All-Star. Last night, we had a bunch of All-Stars. Last night, making his debut for the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Clippers beat Utah in overtime, 120 to 116. Ben Simmons in 27 minutes had 12 points, seven rebounds, six assists, three steals, and a block. Tell me about a guy trying to play for a contract. That's all he is. And then he's going to find his ass right back to the bench.

Hey, take a listen. This guy, Ben Simmons. I can't believe he actually played basketball. He talked about his favorite part of actually playing. Can't believe it.

Just being here. And then the guys fighting, you know, we were down, I think 20 at one point and then guys stayed with it. You know, these games can be dangerous.

You don't, it's all a separate, but you know, guys stay with it. We fish it the right way. These games can be dangerous. Come on. Every time this man steps onto the court, it could be dangerous. To his back, to his confidence.

It's just as bad. 855-212-4227. Joe's here from Alabama. What's up, Joe? Hey, JR. Long time Lister.

First time I decided to give you a call. Consider you, I respect your basketball knowledge. So I'm a graduate student in sports analytics. I just handed in my doctorate on the tank for Embiid.

What is my final grade? The tank for Embiid? What do you mean?

This is something you started writing years ago or what do you mean? Yeah, right. So years ago we had those two horrible seasons so we could get Embiid. Yeah.

Like that was the building block. And now now what we're getting. So what do I get? B plus F. What do I get?

Daryl Morey gets an F for giving his guy a contract extension until 2029. You get an A for just being awesome. You said you're in a doctoral program, a doctor? No, I was being facetious, obviously, but yeah. No, I don't know. You're the professor. You're the professor. Wow. No, I thought you were really in school. Now I feel sticky.

Why does this man call me, make me feel dumb? That's what smart people do. Yeah, I could be your grandfather. Oh, okay. Yeah. I was born and raised in that great city across from Philly, Camden, New Jersey. Oh, Camden. Oh my God.

You're from Camden? Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Oh boy. Okay. All right.

Now I'm kind of threatened by you now. Okay. All right. As a rough going over there. Okay.

Well, thank you, Joe. Yes. Yeah. Go Eagles. Eagles, Eagles. Spell it since you're such a genius. Go ahead.

Try E A G L E S Eagles. There you go. A modern day genius. Thank you, Joe. Thank you.

Hickey. We have, we have people with, we got doctors and people with degrees that call up all the time. I thought he was, did you understand what he was saying? A little bit, but yeah, I thought he was saying, Hey, Jr. I'm a doctor.

I just got this degree. And I thought he was asking me, I thought he really wrote a paper on Joel Embiid. Now I'm stupid.

Now I'm the dummy. There's a lot to write there. No, it's serious.

You could write a paper on, on the Sixers tank. And that's, that's, that's legitimate. Absolutely.

Absolutely. They tanked them. What did it get them? Nothing that goes all back. What's that guy?

Hinky, Sam Hinky, Sam Hinky. Trust the process. And where's that process? Ben Simmons is hustling the NBA again, trying to hustle the Clippers or somebody. Joel Embiid got $300 million to do nothing for the next five years, but be fat, lazy, and hurt.

What a process this is. At least people can focus in on the Eagles and ignore the Sixers. Hey, they got, they got Max C, they got McCain. Maybe if they suck enough, they can get a high draft pick.

It's all Joel Embiid. We don't need you, but we'll pay you. What a life.

Hinky, could you imagine coming from another country and then being fat and lazy and making all that money? And then you get a gold medal. That's right on top of it. Yeah. I'd love that.

Oh man. What country would you move to, to accomplish this? Well, that's, I mean, that's the American dream, right?

Essentially. Embiid is living out what most people would presume to be the American dream. He is right.

Move to America, get rich, get fat, probably don't want to assume that that could happen from laziness, but. Yeah, he's a, he's a citizen too. He's a citizen of like five countries. Guy can go anywhere he wants, can vote for anybody. Have you seen his girlfriend?

I don't, don't think it's his wife. Oh, I'm not. That's what money gets you, I guess. Oh. I think that's how you got it.

You're saying that in a good way. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, okay. I haven't, I didn't even know he was wifed up. I don't think it's his wife. I didn't even know he had a single partner. He has a kid. Oh yeah, that's right. I did forget about that.

That's right. Oh, be wealthy and fat and lazy. The American dream, baby. American dream. A lot of people live in that dream on Valentine's day. Marco, you loving Valentine's day?

You love it. Uh, sure. I had the fat and lazy part.

I didn't have the wealthy. I got the fat and lazy down though. No problem. What's that jump shot look like? Yeah, busted. I used to be able to knock it down, but I can't move. You know, so you got to do all the work.

I got to stand still. Yeah, I understand. Bro, I'm not jumping. Okay. What jump shot? There is no jump shot.

I walk down the block and my knee catches. Okay. Yeah, no, that's busted. I haven't, I don't think I've shot a basketball in 15 years. Nevermind to be able to bust out the actual real jump shot. No, no.

Yeah, yeah. I'm not jumping. If you see me jumping, know that there's trouble somewhere.

I'm jumping and running away, but outside I'm not jumping. Not happening. All good.

It's the JR sport re-show on the infinity sports network. We're going to come back. Damn. What happened? Almost died. And Marco didn't care. Hickey didn't care.

What a collapsed and nobody would have cared on Valentine's day. Nonetheless, we're going to take a break. I'm going to save my own life. And when I listen to the Eagles on air parade, we're going to walk through a few things that took place this day in sports history. We're going to get to your calls.

We're going to do it all before we roll out. You're listening to the JR sport brief. It is the JR sport re-show here with you coast to coast on the infinity sports network. 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27.

That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. In a few seconds, I'm going to share with you a few things that took place this day in sports history. We know that this upcoming weekend, it's NBA all-star weekend. Hasn't necessarily been the best showing in the NBA over the past few years.

We have this a new format that we have on Sunday. Got the shooting contest tomorrow with no Steph Curry in the Bay area. And then I got, I got to be honest.

I really got to be honest. I'm still upset about the dunk contest. I mean, I don't have any expectations on the dunk contest. Let's let's think about this historically. Well, forget it.

I'll get to that in a second. We got a guy in the dunk contest tomorrow and Mack McClung, who over the course of his career has played what, like five NBA games. Like we got a guy going for his third slam dunk championship. He's not even an NBA player. He's a G leaguer and Mack McClung slam dunk contest used to have NBA legends and hall of famers. I'm talking Michael Jordan. Of course we got Dominique Wilkins.

We got Vince Carter, like these NBA players nowadays. They're just too cool, man. They make so much damn money. They don't want to be embarrassed. They don't want to take an L and so they don't compete. Forget competing in the All-Star game. The NBA players right now are too damn cool to even compete in the All-Star game. This thing, or excuse me, the dunk contest, this thing went straight to hell. When LeBron James said, I ain't doing it. Cause we really went from Dominique and Jordan. Then we went to Kobe. Vince participated and a LeBron showed up and it's just like, nah, we need one guy. Who's going to come through and say that I'm a ball out. I mean, it's a damn shame the NBA has a dunk contest and they have to promote a guy in the G league who doesn't even play in the NBA.

Bring in Bronny James next time. Damn it. 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27.

2 1 2 42 27. Greg is here from Alabama. Go ahead, Greg. Hello sir.

Thanks for the call. Since it was Friday joke night, I thought I would weigh in with the one on the best pig in the world. So a guy's driving down the street. He sees his friend's house. There's a pig running around with a peg leg. He pulls in and he says, man, why, why is the pig got the peg leg? And his buddy goes, that's the best pig in the world. He said the other day the house caught on fire. The pig started squealing. We woke up, we put it out. Cindy fell in the pond and the pig actually pulled her out.

Okay. Jimmy was, Jimmy was in the field, turned the tractor over and the pig rooted him a place out. Did that's the best pig in the world. And the guy goes, you haven't explained why the pig has a peg leg.

And the guy says, well, a pig that good, you don't eat him all at once. Okay. Well, thank you, Greg, for calling from Alabama. Thank you so much. Have a good night.

You as well. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Hickey. Did you like that one? That was not bad. I didn't know where it was going.

That was not bad. Yeah. I didn't. You start talking about pigs and legs and pigs and women and wives. I start going, Whoa. Okay.

We're going to lose our license over here. Okay. Anyway, eight five five two one two 42 27. Brian is calling from Toronto. What's up, Brian? I'm good.

Oh my God. Go ahead. I like, I like to do a little bit of an explanation. There was a bit of a, uh, I think there was a bit of a concern around about what the, why, what, why is there, you know, a Canadian Thanksgiving, uh, different kinds of the American Thanksgiving. Well, we're different countries that much. I know. Okay. Well, for one thing, I like to say that we both have the commonality of thanksgiving, thanksgiving to God. That's the core idea, but there's some differentiation. Like, uh, the history and the agriculture of Canada, United States is different.

Canada has the, okay. And first of all, Brian, Brian, hold on a second. I gotta, I gotta be honest here. We're at the end of the show. Well, hold, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. We're on limited time.

So I don't know if we have, we don't have that much time. Oh, you accidentally hung up on him. That was an accident.

Air quotes are on accidentally. I meant to hit the other button. Oh, shoot. No, I don't drive Brian. I didn't do that on purpose. Dang it.

Uh, I hate when you fat finger it. Hey guy, what's his name? Brian from Toronto.

Brian from Toronto. Call back Brian. Call back. I really didn't mean to hang up on you.

That was now I have even less time. No, no, I call back. No, we're going to make sure if he calls back, we're going to get him. You know what? Let's do a few things that took place this day in sports history.

And then he can call us back and tell us about Canadian Thanksgiving. Let's go. 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. It's time for this day in sports history. Back in those days, we had radio and you couldn't see anything.

And it was primitive and lousy. On the JR sport brief show. I wish I was 50 years younger and I'd kick your ass. It is the JR sport brief show on the infinity sports network. Brian is back. Not right now though. Give us a second.

Okay. It's February 14th. It's Valentine's day back in 2010. The NBA had its all-star game. The East beat the West one 41 and weren't 39. It took place at Jerry's world down in Dallas. They had an attendance of 108,713 fans. That's a lot. Dwayne D Wade got the MVP at 28 points.

Listen to the associated press. Tell you about all these people watched some bad basketball. A big crowd turned out in big D as the East won the NBA all-star game. Before it announced attendance of 108,713, the largest crowd ever at a basketball game, the East outscored the West one 41, 139 at Cowboy Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Miami Heat star Dwayne Wade led the East with 28 points while LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers added 25. For the West, Denver's Carmelo Anthony pumped in 27 points. Dirk Nowitzki of the host Dallas Mavericks tied the game with two free throws with 7.7 seconds to go. But Toronto's Chris Bosh made two free throws with five seconds left to give the East its winning margin. Anthony missed a three-pointer to end the game. Wade was voted the game's most valuable player. Hey, at least that was a close game.

I gotta be honest. If they tried to play the all-star game in Jerry's world like now, I don't think they fill it up. Hey, this day in sports history, February 14th, Valentine's Day in 2016 in Toronto, Canada, it was Kobe Bryant's final all-star game. This was also the first time the all-star game was held outside of the United States of America.

The West smacked the East 196 to 173. Kobe Bryant had 10 points in 26 minutes. Russell Westbrook was the MVP. Listen to Kobe Bryant on TNT checking out of his final all-star game. The ovation for Kobe Bryant who's been substituted for and is being hugged all around by both teams. It's an emotional moment for Kobe.

What a well-deserved moment. One of many for the Mamba. It's crazy 18-time all-star in Kobe Bryant.

Wild, wild stuff. And Kobe Bryant, he was an Eagles fan connected to Philadelphia. We talked about the parade earlier today, but I'd be remiss not to play some loving audio from Valentine's Day from the Super Bowl MVP. This is Jalen Hurts telling everybody at the parade he's finally in Philadelphia on the Rocky steps because he wanted to wait until he was a winner.

You know, I told myself, I told myself that when I got drafted, that I wouldn't come to the Rocky steps until I won a championship. And now we're here. Yeah, I'm sure he's sitting down somewhere being very sophisticated.

It's a very sophisticated gentleman. Jalen Hurts, quarterback. Hey, Brian is here from Toronto. Hey, Brian, you're on the JR Sport Reshow.

Sorry for hanging, sorry for hanging out. No, no, no, Brian, we don't have a minute. There's no minute. There's literally, we don't have a minute. You have 15 seconds.

Thanksgiving in Canada, we have a shorter growing season. We have a different history. Okay. Thank you, Brian. Appreciate that.

Happy Valentine's Day. Oh, likewise. And I appreciate your show. Thank you. I appreciate you. Thank you. Hold on. Hickey, I'm allergic to that guy. I had to slice you.

Did part of it end up on the air? No. Okay, good. I had to. I'm allergic to him. Nice guy though.

Real nice guy. Who talks faster, Brian or Allen? Oh my God. Is it a Canadian thing? Can't be. Must be. Both from Toronto. Oh my God. No, that guy did not take a breath.

I was concerned for a minute. I think they both pay to speak by the minute. They'd be making a lot of money.

Making a lot of money. Hey, Hickey, the show's over. You're here on Sunday, right?

Sunday night, 10 p.m. Eastern, 7 Pacific to break down the All-Star game or what the hell it ever looks like. It can't be worse than the garbage we got over the past few years. Don't you agree? It can't be worse. 100% agree.

100%. It's going to be okay. And we'll be back again here on Monday, 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific.

If you missed a minute of the show, go ahead and hit rewind on the free Odyssey app. You can find me online at JR Sport Brief. Hickey, where can they find you?
