Curry Concern? (Hour 4)

It is the JR Sport Brief Show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network.

I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Thank you to everybody tuned in all over North America. Hey, we've had another first for a matchup. Go to a final. Congratulations.

It's a Mount St. Mary's. They just beat American University 83 to 72. Their next stop, the Duke Blue Devils, who've won eight straight games when it comes to the first round of the tournament.

Good luck. Anyway, we'll talk about them in a minute. Well, not Duke. We're going to probably have a couple of weeks to talk about Duke. We'll get into at least celebrating the victory for Mount St. Mary's. Now, we've got another matchup coming up between Xavier and Texas. Thank you.

That's 888-710-4ISN. It is Wednesday. I gave you a top six licks. Top six licks? The heck is it? Whoa. Wrong show.

That'd be an interesting segment. The top six licks? Okay.

Help me out since you got the great answers here. What would be a top six of? Top six licks would be what, Hickey?

Go ahead. Definitely one of them have to be the last lick to get to the center of a tootsie pop. No doubt about it. That'd be number one, right?

Yeah, because how many people have actually done it? None. The owl? No, the owl bit it. He don't know. He chewed it right away.

Yeah, the owl bit it. One, two. You don't remember a lot of things, but you remember that how? I don't. That's a great marketing.

It stuck with me. I mean, that hasn't been on in probably what, 20 years? No. They don't run that no more.

I don't think. I haven't seen it in a very long time. There's no more television, right?

What would it come on? It's not the only vintage commercials that still exist all have to deal with Christmas, right? Or Easter. The Easter bunny commercial still, you know what I'm talking about?

The Cadbury egg? Yes, with the lion is dressed as a bunny rabbit, right? I mean, that is, I was going to say low budget, but that's not fair because it's probably more from like 1980. Yeah, it's from the seventies, bro. That is old school. Good commercial though. What? I'd say it's a good commercial.

It was. When's the last time you heard, damn, does he even have a commercial anymore? Frosted flakes fell off, huh? Oh, Tony. Where is, where is Tony the tiger bit? That's a great question.

Oh my God. That used to be like every commercial break as a kid. Did they put him down? Is he gone?

Do they give an alert? Are people not buying frosted flakes anymore? You know, I'm not, I'm not watching everything, but you, you couldn't, you couldn't turn on a commercial without frosted flakes and Cheerios. More than good. What are they Jarrick? Come on, you know it. Kicks?

You don't know the song? More than good. That's not kicks.

I don't know. Frosted flakes. Frosted flakes.

Frosted flakes are more than good. They're great. There he is.

They're great. Huh? Yeah.

Tony, pour some out. Yeah. A lot of these guys are dead, Iggy. Think about, what's my guy, the bear telling me, what's that bear? Smokey? Yeah, Smokey, where the hell he been? Forest fires.

I mean, they're not more common than ever. We need, we need Smokey to have more than ever. And I, I heard we're cutting down on the budget for the forest fires too.

Correct. They might've, they might've told him to take a hike. Budget cuts. Sorry, Smokey. Smokey the bear might be gone. He's going to be out of a job for the next four years, man. He can't cry. He's, he's part of the budget cuts. That poor guy. Oh my God.

We've identified waste. Smokey the bear is making how much? Smokey the bear. He has to be America's biggest, right?

He's the biggest American export. That's a cartoon Smokey the bear has to be. Right? Am I missing something?

I can't think of another one that's bigger. Right? And you don't have a job. Man, when you think about the world like that, we're cooked. You think he'd be Teflon. No way, Jose.

Everyone's replaceable or have their positions eliminated. Oh boy. Smokey the bear is scratching his back in Nevada somewhere on a tree. I don't know what this guy's doing. Is he smoking you think? Does he like go rogue? Have they depressed him? Tries to prove a point.

He picked up a habit. Oh my God. Ah, this is terrible. He's got a beard, a beer belly, some like kid sees him in the forest and accident. Smokey's at you.

The hat's all tattered, right? This is bad, man. Empty beer cans around him smoking. It's a, it's a shame. Only you can prevent forest fires.

He smokes a cigarette. Oh my God. Ah, a poor guy. Anyway. Yeah. Top six list was presented to you last hour and we talked about some of March Madness's biggest upsets.

Ultimately I had a Villanova over Georgetown. Hickey, what a world. Like there's so much, you know, I'm well, of course I'm in the studio. I'm in Atlanta.

You're in New York. Our DJ down the hallway is blaring. I got my headphones on. I hear me and you and nothing else, right?

Except for our DJ playing, uh, for our hit radio station here in Atlanta. V one Oh three shout outs to swamp is Oh, he is playing. Is it, which ball is it? Jello ball. Jello. Yeah.

I'm trying to do my show. And all I hear is that, that woe song that he has out, man swerve on that corner. Whoa. Yeah.

And I heard he has another song out and I don't know if people care. Yeah. All I hear is I'm trying to do my show on his Jello ball anyway. Yeah.

I gave you a whole, hold on here. I got to turn my own headphones up. What a world this is. It's that loud.

Is this door open? Yeah. He is DJ and a hell out of whatever he's doing. And I'm in a, I'm supposed to be in a soundproof room.

Like, I don't know, like 20, 25 yards away. Yup. Wow. Well, he's a DJ, right? Maybe he's deaf already. Maybe. Oh, geez. About to make everyone else in that building deaf too.

Yeah. Make me deaf is a Jello balls. Dad lost his foot. I'm going to go deaf. I just know something about them balls.

The other brother, what do you do? Break his knee 20 times already. He got a, a somebody else's ligament in his leg. Lamello, right? No. Oh my God.

It is Lamello. Legit. I can't keep up. What's the other ones?

They ain't one of them. Lonzo. Lonzo got the fake knee. Lamello can't, you know, he has foot and ankle injuries. Yes.

He's got no ankles. And which one said that it might've been because of the big ball of shoes. Lonzo, right? I think so. He said, yeah, yeah.

I think, I think some of my injuries had to do with wearing my dad's shoes. Yeah. Bad for the brand right there.

Triple B not doing well. Well, I did see, uh, Levar when he talked about his, uh, his foot being amputated. Did you see he had a big ball of brands high on? Did you see that? No, he did not.

I did not. He did. He had a, he, I think it was a blue tie and it was, you know, uh, what is that called? Vertical. It was BBB. He had the big ball of brand vertically on the center of the time. So big ball of brand not dead yet.

How to shoot out of the shoe game now in the tie game. Yeah. Do you remember people were standing outside for those shoes? They were a big hit for, I mean a few months, but yeah, that was a big deal.

But who was, did you ever see a human being widows? No, but I did see a few people with like triple B shirts. Like the shirts I feel like people wore. I don't know about the shoes.

Yeah. Like who's balling in big ball of brand shoes. What did they buy them for? Like souvenirs? Sort of like, it's like a, you know, you buy swag from a TV show. You like it. That's what I kind of felt like more than like, Oh man, I love this brand.

This is some good stuff. Yeah. Let's figure this out. If I go to big ball of brand.com, I first person I see is a dad Levar. Oh, they selling his son's t-shirt. Okay. You can buy a jello, a t-shirt for 60 bucks, a t-shirt for $60. Yeah. The jello shirt.

Uh huh. Is it BBB.com or big ball of brand.com? Big ball of brand, inc.com. And I can buy a G3 Phantom shoe reasonably priced.

It looks suede. I'm not buying it. Uh, it's 90 bucks. I hate to admit it.

The jumpsuit Levar's got on is not, I'll put it this way. It's not terrible. Okay. All right. You want me to get that for you for Christmas? I get it for you. No.

When's your birthday in June, right? Regrettably. Yes. Okay. All right.

I'll get you, you, you can wait until winter time to wear it. All right. Yeah. Racing too. Big ball of brand.

Uh, what am I looking up? eBay, right? Does eBay still work or is that going like Smokey the Bear?

No, eBay still works. You can buy, there are big ball of brand shoes on eBay. They're selling for a thousand dollars. I was about to say I could see them selling for a lot of money because there's not that many of them. 750, 800, 800, $1,000, $1,500. Somebody is selling a big brawler brand hat. I think it's signed by all the father and the sons. $1,000. Does it say how long it's been posted for?

I feel like that could be posted for a while. Which one, the hat? Yeah, the hat. I don't know if anyone's going to be buying it. The hat is signed by LaMelo, Lonzo, and in LiAngelo. It's going for a thousand bucks. Does it say when the date posted?

Love to know. It's like 2023, 2022. You mean it's telling me nobody would buy a hat signed by all? I don't think so.

You think so? I don't know. I haven't been on eBay in like 25 years, bro.

Where are the details at? I don't know. I've not been on eBay in a while either, so I don't know.

I'm not even sure that's possible, but I'd just be fascinated to see. How long has that been sitting there for? Oh, I don't know. It just says condition new. I hope so.

Nice to know it hasn't been worn. That's good. The guy joined this website in 2020. He sold one other item. I don't even know what else he's selling. I don't know.

Anyway, there's something that LaMelo, I can't even, there's too many Melos and Jellos and Ellos. One thing that his kids never did. Well, that's not true. Didn't what's the name play at UCLA? The one with the broken knee, Lonzo? He did.

He drafted number two overall. Yeah. They sent the other one to Europe, Australia, right? Oh, yes. Yes.

Wait, I'm confused now. Cause then the other one played in college too, but then he was stealing sunglasses in China. Right. That was Jello. Who was also at UCLA.

Yo, what a world are we living in right now? Who did not get his career started off. Yeah. And Donald Trump had to halfway try to fake save him. Like what?

He needed those Gucci sunglasses, JR. From China. Right. Okay.

I don't want to pay the tax when I come back to America. So let me just steal it while I'm here. Oh my God. What a, what world do we live in right now? Anyway, I was going to make the point that his sons didn't do anything in college.

That is a, that is not accurate. But we got college ball going on right now. And as I told you all a few minutes ago, Mount St. Mary's is advancing to take on Duke. They beat American university 83 to 72. And right now I want you to listen to the final call as Mount St. Mary's is going ahead to the round of 64. Here's the final call courtesy of Westwood one.

For the third time in program history, the Mount St. Mary's Mountaineers under a first year head coach in Donnie land winning a program record 23rd game have won the NCAA tournament. And now we just got to wait to see what happens between Xavier and Texas. And then our field will be set.

Final field of 64 will be set. The winner of that game will go ahead and take on Illinois. And thank you so much to Cameron Solano for joining us from CBS sports covers all things college basketball. He came through and joined us and he was like, listen, JR, all things considered, I'm favoring Duke to go ahead and win it all. So if you need a little bit of advice, not advice, go ahead and take Duke to win it.

And if you get a perfect bracket, you get a trip straight to Mars courtesy of Elon Musk. It's the JR sport re-show here with you coast to coast on the infinity sports network. 888-710-4ISN.

That's 888-710-4ISN. We are going to take a break and we come back. I told you about Steph Curry yesterday. The man needed a rest in the golden state warriors. They were still rolling as they went out and beat the Milwaukee Bucks with no Steph Curry. Yeah, they did. And then also early this morning, I saw this.

I was up early. I saw Shohei Ohtani hit a home run, helping the Dodgers to beat the Cubs again. No more games in Japan.

They're on their way back to America. Talk about that. Of course, at the end of the show, we'll go through a few things that took place this day in sports history. You're locked into the JR sport re-show coast to coast on the infinity sports network. You're listening to the JR sport brief. It is the JR sport re-show on the infinity sports network. 888-710-4ISN.

That's 888-710-4ISN. We are waiting on Xavier versus Texas. That's it. After this, there's no more first four.

Get that gimmicky crap out of here. And tomorrow we get to the real games. I mean, the two games that we got tonight, they'll play on Friday.

The two victors from yesterday, they start playing tomorrow. And so we'll see what Alabama State does against Auburn, probably loose. And then we'll also see what happens with UNC. They'll take on Ole Miss.

They'll probably go out there and win. You got to love this. So you think about the college students at this point in life, they're living the life.

Getting on charter flights, they're on television. They can tell their kids about this. This is good. Think about an era from a long time ago. It didn't have to be back in my day.

I played in the NCAA tournament. It's like, show me the footage. There's none. But I was on CBS. Show me the footage.

There's none. Got dads pulling out VHS cassettes. You can't even play a VHS cassette. Picky, have you ever used one? You've used one before, right? Yeah.

I'm not that young. Okay. I don't know.

Did you have, did you own a VCR? Yeah. Oh yeah. Oh, wow. Okay. I'm impressed. Well, what are you saying?

Like me personally or like my parents? No. Did you ever own a VCR? Oh no, not me personally. No. Oh, see, there you go. Okay. All right.

Damn. Plus the VCR went out, like probably when I was like in seventh or eighth grade. Maybe even earlier than that, when the DVDs really started the blue, right?

Probably like six, seven grants when blue, it really exploded. Icky. I remember putting the DVD on top of the VCR because you couldn't, you couldn't record with the, the Blu-ray. You could only watch stuff, but then you could still record with the VCR. This is before you got to, this is almost right before you got to DVR.

And I'll think about this. We're DVRs. Nobody uses a DVR. Nobody uses a DVR. Nobody uses a DVR anymore. No, it's all, I mean, cause now everything's already on demand. Yeah.

It's crazy. I mean, think about outside of sports, there are very few shows even around that like have like a set airtime. So what's there to DVR if you're just going to release a whole series at once. Well, Icky, I used to, I used to record, it's a sound, this sounds crazy. Like if I knew I was going to be out the house at the beginning of a sporting event, or I may miss the whole game, or I wanted to record the whole thing. If I missed the first quarter, I used to set the VCR to record it using the timer. And I used to just go home. You know, there were no spoilers because there was no cell phone that I could open up and, you know, watch the game or get a spoiler. And so unless I went home and turned on the news or turned on the radio, like the game might as well have not existed.

It had to wait until I played the VHS. I remember there was a point in time, I would, and then when the DVRs came, I would record the game so I could watch them back on replay. And then my DVR would be like, hey, you got, you got 2% space left. And I'd be like, how, what? And it'd be because I'd be, I'd be recording, instead of recording 30 minutes of a stupid sitcom, a reality show, I'd have like three hours of a football game.

I'd have like the whole season saved and it'd be like, you have no space left, you dumb idiot. So yeah. Oh, same. I love the VCR and the DVR.

Great tool. So this is a question. I don't know. NFL is so stingy. I can go back and watch MLB games throughout the season. NBA with league pass. Can you, I know you can, you can watch any NFL game throughout the course of the year. Can you do that if you pay? If you have NFL plus?

Yes. NFL. NFL plus or the one on YouTube?

What's the one on YouTube? Oh, Sunday Ticket. What's the, yeah, I get mad at the NFL about this one. Like, I got the NFL network. I have the NFL network. I refuse to go to NFL.com and pay for what the hell you just told me.

Like for what? Why is there an NFL network and NFL plus for what? Why? And Sunday Ticket, there's three different options. Now I understand Sunday Ticket. That's to watch the games on Sunday, right? Right. Out of market games.

Out of market. What the hell is NFL plus and why isn't it the same thing as the NFL network? What's, what's the point?

What's the difference? Essentially, NFL plus is your current day DVR. They've other functions and other capabilities there as well, but for the most part, it's a catalog of every game throughout the season. You can also go back to different seasons. You can watch a game from 2022, 2021, et cetera, where Sunday Ticket is just, here's the live game. You missed it too bad. Oh, you gotta be kidding me. Yeah. I don't think there's any storage on Sunday Ticket.

It's on YouTube. It's the easiest thing. It's like, if I'm already charging you 300, 400 bucks.

So you mean to tell me, oh my God, let me understand this. If there's a 1 PM game on Sunday and I watch it live, I have to have Sunday Ticket. If it happens to be Wednesday afternoon at lunchtime and I want to watch that game again, I can't use a Sunday Ticket, which I already pay for to rewatch the game. I now have to pay again for NFL plus to watch the game that I already paid the watch on Sunday. Correct.

Oh my God. And let me guess, what do you got to pay for this on a month to month? This is another, what, 30, 40, a hundred dollars. How much is this? A hundred dollars for the season.

I believe NFL plus, plus on, like you said, the $400 if you're able to sign a ticket, 500 bucks just to either be able to watch out of market games live or watch a replay. Watch on demand. Oh my God.

This is a sham. It's crazy. Where's, how come YouTube, I mean, they got money. Why don't they just throw more money at them and go, Hey, just keep the archive games here. Why don't they do that?

Great question. I mean, you know, they have the storage, but great question. Now I don't even, I've never gone back in time and said, I need to watch an Amazon game. What happens to those games on Thursday night? Are they also on plus or they, they're not on Amazon, right? Also on plus. And you can watch with NFL plus, you can watch the, um, marquee games, uh, or the prime time games, I should say on NFL plus on the NFL app, only in your phone. So you can watch the Amazon game. You can watch Sunday night and you can watch Monday night in the NFL app through NFL plus only on your phone. So I miss, I miss Thursday night football, right?

I can't wake up on Friday. Oh, I missed the game. I want to watch it on Amazon. I already pay for Amazon prime. Let me go back and watch on replay. I can't do that on Amazon. I don't believe you can.

No, you can go in NFL plus and rewatch it, but I think Amazon, once it's over, it's gone. Yo, yo, screw that Vicki school school. She started protesting outside of, uh, the NFL offices. I'm going to park Avenue. I will chain yourself to the front door. Really make a stand. I should do the show live from outside, right?

Oh, that'd be fun. Private property. They're not going to let me do it. I don't have to be on park Avenue. We're not like a kind of a good, um, catchphrase too. If you're gonna pick it outside, I'd have to be on the curb though.

Forget a catcher. I'd have to be like on the street, those buses, those bikers that ride the curb. Then I'm moving out of your way. You know what I would do?

I'd fake it. Like I'm selling fruit like a right. You know, like a microphone attached to your ear.

Yeah. Like they let the people outside sell fruit, right? They do everywhere. You sell everything on the streets of New York. There's no limitations there. You can do anything on the streets of New York, except for set up a table and do media stuff. Like what's wrong with that? I think there's so many people that film and record.

I don't even know how they enforce the, uh, the filming permits unless you want to get cars off the street. Oh my goodness. What a world. And it's why the NFL is approaching a $20 billion in revenue. Just stealing from everybody, taking everybody's money. Not me though. It's enough to pay for the games.

I'm not paying, I'm not paying for nothing extra. Anyway, earlier today, major league baseball, they have their own problems and we know they do playing a game in Japan. Another one Dodgers went out there and beat the Cubs again, six to three, the debut of Rocky Sasaki. But more importantly for me, every time I turn on the Dodgers, I want to see one guy.

I want to see Shohei Ohtani. Uh, Sasaki had three innings pitched. He struck out three, he walked five. He only gave up a run. Pretty sure he's real juiced up. Well, not like Barry Bonds juiced up. I'm sure he's real excited pitching at home in Japan. He's throwing 100 miles per hour to start things off. But like I said, I only wanted to see one guy and that was Shohei Ohtani. And he did exactly what I wanted to see. This man hit a home run, even though the umpires had to decide whether or not it was really going over the fence.

I want you to listen to this courtesy of Fox. Yeah, I'm going to say that Shohei Ohtani doesn't hit 50 plus home runs this year. I'm going to give him approximately 40, especially the fact that at some point throughout the course of the season, this man is going to be back out onto the mound pitching.

I give Shohei Ohtani a 40-something-ish home runs. And speaking of a big play, outside of Shohei Ohtani hitting that home run this morning, Rodney Peet, you heard me correctly, the former quarterback in the NFL, he was at the game on the third baseline. And Max Muncie went to dive over the net to get a ball. And Rodney Peet snatched it from him.

Listen to this, this is courtesy of Fox as well. Yeah, Max Muncie, let's just say he was not happy about that. And why Rodney Peet was there, we have no idea. He was there in a Dodgers sweatshirt. So obviously, I guess he's a Dodgers fan. Him and his wife, they do live out in Los Angeles. And his wife, Holly Robinson Peet, actually put out a message and said that her husband saved her from getting hit by a ball.

And Rodney Peet certainly stared at Max Muncie like, you mad at me? What are you going to do? Not a fight that I expected to see.

I don't think we will have a fight. But there we have it. And then also, as I mentioned last night, this is kind of crazy. The Golden State Warriors are now 15-2 with Jimmy Butler. Steph Curry took a night off because he was tired. He sounded sick like a dog. And the Warriors will be fine, except for, I don't think they're big enough when the playoffs come around.

Those are just my thoughts. And God bless Steph Curry for getting a little bit of a rest. Because the Golden State Warriors beat Milwaukee last night, but they host Toronto on Thursday before going on a six-game road trip. This is, I don't even want to make this trip.

They start off, Hickey, listen to this. They start off here in Atlanta on Saturday. Then they go to Miami. Then they go to New Orleans. Then they go to San Antonio. Then they go to Memphis. Then they go to Los Angeles to play the Lakers. They're not back home until April 4th against Denver.

Wow. Can you even rest, Steph Curry? Does he have to play in all of these road games? He'll probably get at least probably one other off day.

What do you do? Sit him versus New Orleans or something? It makes sense. Get him some gumbo. Maybe a little gumbo on the bench makes him feel better. Gets his groove back. He's the main attraction. Nobody is showing up to see the Golden State Warriors as they want to see Draymond Green.

I guess you got Jimmy, but Hickey, I feel so bad. And I know, I really, Steph Curry, he would feel bad, too. Like he is. He is one of the most you see him every game.

It doesn't matter. Home on the road. He's signing autographs. He's doing the shots. He's he's putting on a show for everybody. Like, I can't imagine any of these cities where he's just like maybe Los Angeles because he goes so often.

I don't know. But that's the end of the trip. And it's so close. You might as well be back home already.

You're making your way back west. He has to play here in Atlanta. I'd be shocked if he doesn't play his Saturday night. Maybe in Miami he doesn't play. Because that's Jimmy Butler's return. Let Jimmy Butler catch the Heat, right?

Maybe that makes sense. George, you want to be out there and kind of support your guy instead of leaving him on an island? No.

Hey, I'm out there with you. We're going to win this game to stick it to the Heat fans? No, because nobody's going to care. See, in Miami, he's not going to be the attraction. Jimmy Butler is going to be the attraction. And by the way, that game on Tuesday is going to be on TNT. So that'll be fun. Jimmy Butler will get booed every time he touches the ball. He'll probably like them up. The Golden State Warriors will win regardless. I think that's the time you sit him. Nobody will care. It'll be like, oh, Steph Curry's not playing.

Okay, now we get to direct our hate towards Jimmy Butler, which is what we want to do anyway. And so that's a six-game road trip. They're going to be gone for two weeks. Damn.

Hey Marco, what do you think? If you sit Steph Curry and he's 37 years old, he obviously needs a rest. He got one yesterday. Atlanta, Miami, New Orleans, San Antonio, Memphis, Los Angeles. You sit him in Miami, right? Let Jimmy Butler catch Heat.

Decent thought, but I'm not concerned with the fan or whatever. I'm looking at his body. So if that's the middle of the trip, where's the middle? Where are they? They go to San Antonio, then it's to come back to Memphis. I'm thinking there because you want it to be somewhere in the middle.

So you get some rest on the, you know, both ends of it. Plus they're going east, kind of west, back east. Maybe that's the one.

Yeah. Well, the next Friday they're in New Orleans and then Sunday they're in San Antonio. And then they go from San Antonio on Tuesday, then they go to Memphis. And then on Thursday they go up to LA. Yeah, I think I would, the Memphis one. You go in San Antonio to Memphis to LA.

I think right in the middle there, all that back and forth and plus in the middle of that trip, I think that's where I would want him to get his body and get some rest. Man, I'm tired. I'm tired of looking at this schedule, man.

Damn. Well, they get paid a lot of money and they just playing with a ball. So good for them.

I'm just saying good for them. Anyway, it's the JR sport re show here with you coast to coast on the infinity sports network. We're going to take a break. When we come back, we're going to go through a list of things that took place this day in sports history. You're listening to the JR sport brief. 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 and it was primitive and lousy and we liked it. On the JR sport brief show. I wish I was 50 years younger and I'd kick your ass.

It is the JR sport re show here with you coast to coast on the infinity sports network. It's March 19th. The year is 2025.

But if we go back in time, I don't know. Let's go back in time to March 19th, 1966. Texas Western, they're now known as UTEP. They beat number one ranked Kentucky to win the NCAA title.

The final score was 72 to 65. What's the big deal here? Well, this was the first time we had an all black starting five who went out there and they won it all. I want you to listen to this. This is from KRWG, P excuse me, KRGWG public media as Texas Western started Willie Cager. He shows a lot of love to their head coach Don Haskins for starting the best players. My thing was Don has to say you want to start the best, you know, possible five that you can start and it was all black.

So what can I tell you? And just having that way. Yeah.

How about he actually started guys on their merit? That's what everybody wants nowadays, right? I guess. Hey, how about this? March 19th in 2015. A lot of people here in Georgia remember this, especially in the city. Shout out to Georgia state.

A couple blocks from here. You might remember this RJ Hunter. He hit the go ahead three to give Georgia state the lead over Baylor with two and a half seconds left. And they ultimately won the game 57 to 56.

You might also remember his dad, head coach Ron Hunter. We talked about this earlier. Guy had a torn Achilles man fell onto the floor in excitement.

Take a listen to this courtesy of CBS. He misses the rebound. You got to push this to the basket. Take it to the basket guys. Nine seconds. No timeouts left. What are they doing?

RJ Hunter for three. Yeah. Watch his son. He was crying. He was happy after the game. I mean, those are memories that you, you can't make up.

You just can't like a Disney movie. Unfortunately, they ultimately lost to Xavier in the, uh, well, in the tournament right now, Xavier trying to keep pace with Texas, Texas leads 30 to 21, eight minutes to go here in the first half. But anyway, let's continue to go back inside because only three years ago, March 19th, 2022, another accomplishment by this guy.

Oh my God. LeBron James had a layup to pass Carmelone for second all time in scoring. Carmelone 36,909 points. We know that he is now third behind LeBron James and Kareem, but in this game, let's listen to LeBron score and pass call courtesy of spectrum sportsnet. It's his zone.

Nobody's diving though. There it is. The kid from Akron LeBron James has come into the nation's Capitol and has passed the mailman. Carballone and is now number two all time in scoring in the history of the NBA. Only three years ago, LeBron had 38 points in that game and the Lakers, uh, still went out there and lost to Washington 127 to one 19. I mean, we could do, we could do LeBron Hickey. We should do a new segment. No, we don't. We shouldn't, but we could do a segment about this day in sports history. I bet you every day we could find something on LeBron. I think you're right.

You wouldn't be wrong. I mean, it's incredible. This day in history, LeBron James hit, I don't know. I don't know how many threes he, the most he hit in one game. This day, LeBron hit seven threes. This day, LeBron passed, I don't know, Jason kid and assists.

I don't know what a world. Now that I think about it, Hickey, has he already passed Jason kid and assists? Probably right.

Wouldn't be surprised. I mean, I, at this point, I feel like there's a record. I'd be surprised if there's a record LeBron doesn't hold. LeBron is going to lead in scoring. He's going to lead and re well, not rebound, but Oh, you know what? Hickey, what a world he's close.

LeBron James is fourth all time and assists directly behind Jason kid ahead of Steve Nash. That's incredible. Yeah.

I had a magic job. Like that's like some of the names he's ahead of are just insane. And he is still going, Hey, let's, let's, let's do some quick math here. He's at, Oh, well now he ain't kept.

Well, man. Yeah. He's going to catch.

He's going to catch kid next year. Pro no, I can't have 500 away. So let's do some math. If LeBron James averages, what do you say on the low end? Seven assists next year. Is that, is that okay? And he plays 75, 65 games.

Okay. That's 455 assists. So if you want to be, you want to be conservative, he's going to pass them in like a season and a half. Cause by the way, at this rate, I'd be surprised if he doesn't play another season after next year, unless they win a championship. Like at this point, he's just, why stop?

Right? No, it was, he has to just be sick of it at this point, unless he wants a title, you know, be fitting to how he breaks Jason kid's record. What pass to Bronny.

Oh no, we don't need to pass. It's like a 40 point game, but he's tied with Jason kid. He's trying to break the record. I brawny flare out, boom shoots at three. And now they can say they made history together. Oh my God.

You laugh. All right. Well, those are a few things that took place this day in sports history. So there you go. Uh, do we need that? It's enough that we've had to deal with us. We don't need that.

We do not know. We do not need that, but I see LeBron saying, okay, that's what I need. Oh, everything is what he needs, right? Not what he needs.

Not what his son wants or what's best for him is what he needs. That's right. Oh man.

Every day, every day, more LeBron just anyway. Hey, it's been a great show. Hey, thank you to Greg. Thank you to super producer and host Ryan Hickey. Thank you to you for listening.
