Graydon Prescott 0:02
Hey everybody and welcome to another episode of sports prep live. Sports prep live, where we unbox the bike and talk excellent in athletics.

Welcome back to sports prep live. I'm your host, Graydon Prescott, and today, today is a big day in a lot of sports. NBA is hot at the moment. We're gonna have some NBA things. We need to talk about. NCAA women's basketball. My Notre Dame Fighting Irish they lost, but I'm gonna get into that a little bit. I still have them winning the national championship, by the way, I'm standing by that pick, and, you know, it's just a big, big week in the sports world. And possibly the biggest game in women's college basketball of the year is coming up this Saturday. So I got my man, KB, here. We got a lot to discuss, yep, yep, and should be a good well spent 30 minutes ready to get it cracking All right, so we're going to start in the NBA. Draymond Green, he made some claims that the NBA is boring now, and it's just Yes, shooting threes, which is understanding court that kind of goes with the with the public opinion of how the league is right now. Hence ratings being the way he worship is down. But an NBA, I don't want to say, I guess he's an NBA legend. He's certainly a legend. Yeah, we'll give him that. But, you know, kind of an elder statesman, yes, in the in the viewpoint of the league. Oscar Robertson had some things to say about Draymond Green saying that the league is boring. He said, Oh, well, it would be boring if all you do is run up and down the court and pass the ball to Steph Curry. Yes, he did. Shots fired.

Yeah, very

much. So, so Gaby, I'm gonna let you take the floor here, because when I talk to you about this a little bit, you've had some things to say about Oscar Robertson, sure, and this situation, so I'm just gonna step aside here and let you go on a little bit of a soliloquy.

K.B. 1:57
Now. Let's first acknowledge Oscar Robertson, as you said, is a legend. Yeah. He is 86 years old. But when Draymond Green made his comments, and I'll correct, go back and correct, just one thing, he said. He didn't necessarily say this about the league. He was talking about the state of play, yeah. And as you mentioned, we're seeing that with the drop in viewership, fans, spectators are getting a little bit bored with what's going on. With respect to the NBA, players aren't showing up loads management. You buy a ticket to see certain teams, and you don't know whether or not those people are going to be on the floor, the stars, of course, that we're talking about. So Draymond Green on his podcast, the Draymond Green podcast, a great podcast, by the way, talks to everybody in the sport, around the sport, media players, old hats, as you call them, legends, you name it. I mean, he's a really, really high IQ basketball player. Yeah, we know. He is a golden state warrior. He is a four time champion. He is a Defensive Player of the Year Recipient. He is in the finalists category for Defensive Player of the Year any number of years. Yes, high basketball. IQ, sure. He has got a temper, you know, a little temperamental, but you need that passion on the floor, right? Michael Jordan, going back to his era, loved having Dennis Rodman on the floor, because that passion, that fire, that vigor, you need that because sometimes you're going to have people you know, like the X man who came at Scottie Pippen, and Scottie Pippen didn't have that. So Draymond Green, and obviously he's a four time champion. So Draymond Green makes an observation about the current state of the play in the NBA, and it is a take on the NBA, or the play in the NBA, that is widely shared, not only by some of the players in the media, the analysts who cover it, coaches, but also by the fans. And you see that, like we said, with respect to the drop in viewership. So he wasn't talking to Oscar Robertson. Let's get this clear. He made this comment on his podcast speaking to another individual, and days later, Oscar Robertson speaking on someone's podcast. And I forget which it was, but you can go ahead and Google it. It's out there. Says about Draymond Green, exactly what you just alluded to, that Draymond Green doesn't know what he's talking about. And the the reason that it's boring for Draymond Green is because all he does is pass the ball to Steph Curry. He doesn't have to do anything. And I really took umbrage. And I think some others took Umbridge at these comments. Yes, we're going to give him his props for being one of the elder state statesman of basketball. He's 86 years old, but if you're going to stick your your two cents in here, people are going to push back on you. And if we are comparing the errors that Draymond Green plays in and Oscar Robertson played in, let's just take a look at some things here. Oscar Robertson, being 86 years old, started playing professional basketball in 1960 Yeah, in 1960 I think JJ Redick said it best, the league was basically made up of plumbers and firemen, and it was a play on words, but literally, these were weekend warriors that were playing in what we now call the NBA. These were not great athletes. They were not highly paid. Some of them did it for free. It was an opportunity to play basketball. The Sport wasn't widely followed. In fact, in 1960 there were only 10% of African Americans or black players in the league. That started to creep up in 1962 to about 15% and then in 1965 66 it got closer to 50% and then, you know, the rest is history. But when Oscar Robertson came in the league, he wasn't really playing against anyone, right? He's got one MVP. He played 14 years. He has one championship. And in the 10 years that he was, I guess, the man when he played, I believe it was for Cincinnati, he did not manage to win a championship. He only got a championship when he played alongside of one of the best to ever do it, the second leading all time score in the history of the NBA, second only to LeBron James, and that is Kareem Abdul Jabbar, who was also the MVP. I believe it was 1974 when they won that national or that NBA championship. No,

Graydon Prescott 6:20
no, they lost in seven games in the 1974 NBA Finals. Okay, so they won prior to that. They swept the Washington Bullets in 1971 71 Yeah. Now we all know how Kareem career went. Kareem has the NBA record for MVPs with six to his name, Oscar Robertson, only one. And of course, you know, in his time in Cincinnati, Oscar Robertson's never even managed to make a conference finals in an NBA that only had eight teams correct. So it not a very successful career for him in terms of team wins. Yes, individually, he did his thing in an era where most JV teams in the country right now would be the best team. SBA

K.B. 7:02
high school teams would annihilate most of the teams that, if not all of the teams that were in the NBA. The skill level of today's players, or that era of player, is nowhere near it's not even in the same category, not even in the same arena, as the skill level of players, not only today, but 30 years ago. Yeah, so for him to make this asinine statement about Draymond Green, I mean, Draymond Green is a four time champion, and he has been instrumental in each of those championships. In fact, there are some that would say it would be five had he not been suspended when he played against the against LeBron, James Cleveland, Cavaliers, I'm not one of those people. Be that, as it may, another Finals appearance for him. How many did Oscar Robertson have in his career? In his career, two Finals appearances, he went 50% right. Draymond Green is a four time champion. Who the hell are you to say that Draymond Green doesn't know what he's talking about, and the only reason that Draymond Green is bored is because all he does is sit back and pass the basketball to Steph Curry. I mean, I cannot think of a comment that connotes more disrespect for a fellow NBA player, a fellow NBA great, Draymond Green is going to be a first ballot Hall of Famer. Oh, yeah, and I get it. You know, he averaged a triple double in 1962

Graydon Prescott 8:33
any year he let's, let's, let's be very clear. He did not win the MVP when he averaged a triple rebel. His team was absolutely horrible when he averaged a triple double. It was an entirely individual thing. Bill Russell won the MVP that year, and will Chamberlain averaged 50 points and 26 rebounds. So there were really only a few players in the NBA doing anything whatsoever. Oscar Robertson won the MVP in 1964 and what do they do? They lose in the first round of the playoffs, right? So it's not really, I don't see how he has any room talking. Let me get this very, very clear. This is coming from an ad Vin LeBron James fan, I'm a die hard Lakers fan, let me make this very, very, very clear. Draymond Green, out of anybody in the NBA, probably has the most ability to talk about the game like this. Is an extremely high IQ, absolutely player. Draymond Green is a two time Olympic gold medalist. Let's just step aside from the NBA for a little bit. He's a two time Olympic gold medalist. Then when you get back into the NBA, this is also a four time all star in 2016 1718, in 2022 Draymond Green was the 2017 Defensive Player of the Year. He was a two time runner up for the Defensive Player of the Year is a three time all NBA player. He's a five time first team all defensive player. And he's a four time champion, two of which he easily could have won the Finals MVP and in 2016 when they didn't win the championship and he got suspended for the game five, game 732, points, 12 rebounds, nine assists. So

K.B. 9:57
what he is saying? Mr. Oscar. Written is fall back and show some respect Draymond

Graydon Prescott 10:03
Green, for me at least, and for a lot of the people in my generation and in the generation before me, and for sure, in the generations that follow me, Draymond Green will be far more revered through this in the spectrum of NBA players than Oscar Robertson ever was, and I know he was a black man in the 1960s playing in a predominantly white NBA. He paved a path. Yes, all of that, all of that, is all well

K.B. 10:27
and good, and this does not take away from any of the things that he sued the NBA to make sure that the players could get more equitable treatment. Oscar

Graydon Prescott 10:35
Robertson, quote, unquote, and he will say he paved the way, but let's be very clear here, Oscar, he wasn't thinking about my generation when he was playing Correct. He wanted to get his money and get out. He wanted to sue the me. Yes, he okay. He sued the league, whatever. He still wasn't thinking about us. He wasn't thinking about

K.B. 10:53
Michael Jordan the time that he played right. And there's nothing wrong with absolutely

Graydon Prescott 10:59
nothing, and I respect what he did, but when he steps out of line to say something about a player of this generation like a Draymond, who, of all people, has all the right to be critiquing the game, he wasn't criticized, and he didn't say anything about he didn't mention anyone's name. He didn't say anything about the era that Oscar played in correct all he said was the game today. So I don't understand what would have provoked Oscar, who played in

the 1960s in the 1970s when nobody was in the league, to

say anything about what Draymond Green said. He didn't say anything that had anything to do with Oscar Roberts. He was critiquing the game today. So when Oscar goes out the side of his neck talking about all Draymond Green, all he does is pass the ball to step curry. Oscar Robertson needs to do his research. Draymond Green is one of the best players of this generation. Scoring isn't everything, and if there's anybody that should know that, it's Oscar Robertson, because he did a lot of scoring and only has one title to his name. That's right, and that was with Kareem Abdul Jabbar, who has six titles to his name, yes, and five of them were without Oscar. He didn't need you without us, but not a lot of winning. He didn't. He didn't need Oscar. He would have won that championship if Oscar wasn't on the team. And if Oscar

K.B. 12:08
was really looking at this fairly, he might have taken Draymond Green's comments as a compliment, because he's comparing it to something, right? He's saying, today's NBA, we're running up and down the court we he's saying that this is what's happening in the era that he plays in. We're running up and down the court. All we're doing is shooting threes, and it's boring. He's comparing that to something, right? He's comparing that to previous eras. So if anything, he is being complimentary to those previous eras. But no, Mr. Oscar Robertson doesn't see it that way. So it's a new generation out here, big O, and you need to recognize that some of these players that are in this league now have accomplished more. They have won more. They do have high basketball IQ, no one wants to go out there and run and gun and get all these individual accolades, but you do not win what you do off the court. We give a lot of applause, a lot of applause for hats off to you. You did some things that really moved the needle forward in an era where it was tough to do that as a black man, but that's not what we were talking about here. You're commenting on Draymond Green's viewpoint of basketball in today's NBA, and no one is more qualified to make those comments than a person like Draymond Green, and he is not the only one that has voiced that opinion. So we just wanted to get that

Graydon Prescott 13:24
off our chest really quickly. For those of you who aren't familiar with Oscar Robertson, and I wouldn't blame you for that. He played in the NBA 65 years ago, 14 year NBA career. Oscar Robertson is the 1960s version of Russell Westbrook. If Russ were to win the championship, if Russ were to win the championship this year with Nicola jokic on his team, that's a one time MVP, he averaged a triple double, but the team's success was never there. So when he gets an NBA legend, a Nicola jokic Who's already won an NBA championship, a Kareem Abdul Jabbar who would go on to win five more championships, and they win a championship, this is if the nuggets win this year, and we'll get into the Western Conference in the NBA in just a moment here. But if the nuggets were to come out and win a championship, Russell Westbrook will have cemented his career with a ring. And now you can all say, Oh, he's not ringless or whatever, but Oscar Robertson, he won his championship with the young, greatest talent in the history of basketball at the time, Kareem Abdul, that's right, Kareem Abdul Jabbar. So it's the same thing, and he was past the prime of his career. So Oscar Robertson is the same as Russell Westbrook if he were to win a championship this year. Let's not get it twisted. That is

K.B. 14:33
absolutely apropos. I could not have said it better myself, and I hope that he recognizes the error of his ways in these comments, and just shuts his mouth. He's a legend. We take our hats off to him for everything that he did socially, with respect to the NBA and black players coming into the NBA and NBA players as a whole. But when it comes to this commentary on Draymond Green, he needs to fall back and show Draymond Green some respect, because Draymond Green has. Accomplished far more as an NBA player and winner than Oscar Robertson ever came close to accomplishing, right? That's what needed to be said on that subject. We're moving on, all right?

Graydon Prescott 15:09
It's great impressed got here on Sports prep live, and on the rare occasion that we have to discuss the NBA, we got a lot of things to say today, and we're going to move on, because we don't have a ton of time here, but we're going to stay on the NBA. I got two more things NBA I want to cover, the first of which is the surging Lakers and warriors. You and I have had some conversations about the NBA. Wow, we don't talk much about them. The Lakers, over the last 15 games, are 12 and three. They have the best defensive rating in the NBA.

K.B. 15:40
Stupidest trade ever. No, ever, no, not for the Lakers. I'm a Lakers fan. Not for the Lakers, for the Lakers. And Rob polinka and Jamie buss. Police them. This was brilliant. JJ Redick, this was brilliant. Brilliant. Police them, I love it. I'm enjoying everyone. Harrison, former Nike Executive General Manager, out there at the Dallas Mavericks. They ran him out. And obviously Mark Cuban is gone, because this would have never happened. He actually sold the controlling interest of the Dallas Mavericks to to a family here, to a family here in Las Vegas, the Adelson family. I think it is the the son in law, Dumas, I believe his last name is, who purchased a controlling interest in the Dallas Mavericks, so he had to sign off on this. Yeah? This is regarded as the dumbest trade in the history of the NBA and maybe in the history of all professional sports. It could be, let's tell them what happened. Yeah,

Graydon Prescott 16:35
so the Mavericks mid season. This is a team for context, that literally, last season, went to the NBA finals on the back of Luca doncic, who led the playoffs in points, rebounds, assists, steals. He is a problem and three pointers.

K.B. 16:52
This kid is brilliant. I shouldn't even call him against 25 years old, generational, generational player, unbelievable talent, right? This

Graydon Prescott 16:59
is the guy that they had on their team, and they just went to the NBA Finals, and they got Kyrie Irving, and they got a good core on them, sure. Now, they had been hit with some injuries this year, but they were hit with injuries last year, yes, and they got it together towards the end of the season. So everybody and their mama is thinking, okay, they've had a injury riddled season, but they're gonna be fine, sure. And then they they trade their best player, Nico Harrison, I mean, to the Lakers, for the Lakers second Nike to start making shoes again. Because this was, this was the dumbest trade ever. Now, the Lakers, on the other hand, smartest trade ever. They were having a good season. Artist trade, the Lakers were having a good season. Yes, Anthony Davis was playing well, okay,

K.B. 17:42
but they call him Anthony day to day Davis, right? He's always hurt,

Graydon Prescott 17:45
yes. But aside from that, Anthony Davis isn't Luca doncic, he's not correct. So Nico Harrison calls Rob polinka and is like, Yo, I have, I have a proposal for you, and Rob polinka has gone on record saying he, quote, unquote. Quote, said, You can't be serious. End quote, yeah, let's have coffee. Yeah, there's no way you are calling me to say you want to trade Luca doncic. What do you want for him? I'll give you whatever you want. Dude only wanted Anthony Davis and Max Christie. That's it. That's all he wanted for Luca. They were

K.B. 18:20
trying to send a message. And I'm not sure that they sent the message that they thought they were sending. And I think the message they thought they were sending is that we, management, upper management, the owners, we are in control of what happens on these teams.

Graydon Prescott 18:35
Yeah, but the message they actually sent was, we're a bunch of idiots, correct? Like, what are you doing? You

K.B. 18:40
don't get to dictate to a generational player. You don't get to dictate to Michael Jordan without his consent. You don't get to dictate to Kobe Bryant without his consent. You don't get to dictate to Shaquille O'Neal at that time without his consent. You don't get to dictate to Tim Duncan without his consent. You don't get to dictate to Steph Curry, which is why he's still there and he's going to retire in that uniform without his consent. He is on the level talent wise, as the with the same as these other players that I just mentioned. Talent wise, he doesn't have the championships yet, but they're coming. Yeah,

Graydon Prescott 19:13
he's only 25 years correct this. Anthony Davis is 31 by the way, which makes it make even less sense.

K.B. 19:18
And LeBron James another minute. You don't get to dictate without that person's consent. And I think what they're trying to do is say we're in charge here. Well, you probably are for the role players, for the lesser players, for the guys that don't get a lot of playing time, the guys that don't get off the bench a lot, the guys that know their role and play their role. That is not the case with Luca doncic. He's worked too hard for that. And all stars and generational players that Kevin Durant that comes with the territory, you don't get to dictate without their consent. And what they did to him was said, This is what we're going to do. We're going to send you packing. But the joke is on the Dallas Mavericks, yeah, this was really the same trade. Can be viewed right two sides of the. Same coin or opposite side of the same coin, the worst and the best trade in the history of the NBA, for me. Correct, as a Lakers fan, I would imagine Lakers fans are over the moon with this trade,

Graydon Prescott 20:13
and we just blasted the nuggets there. Correct, on the back of JJ, Reddick

K.B. 20:17
has these guys playing defense. He's got them playing together. LeBron James, his usage rate is going down. His effectiveness is going up. I mean, this guy is 40, dropping 40. He's happy. You can see the happy warrior in him, because he knows what he's got. This guy is a basketball savant. He knows what he was getting. Bring it, and didn't believe it when he heard it. Who would have believed it? Yeah, nobody did.

Graydon Prescott 20:39
We all thought Shams account. Shamia, we all thought his account got hacked. Everybody myself and me, I

K.B. 20:46
cannot believe this trade went down. Shout out to rob palinka again and Jeannie Buss and JJ Redick and, I don't know, LeBron James and rich Paul say they have nothing to do with it. Oh no, because

Graydon Prescott 20:56
there's he had a close he had a tight knit. Yes, yes. There's no way but

K.B. 21:01
a master stroke, and it showed with the play on the court. And they hadn't beat the Denver Nuggets

Graydon Prescott 21:07
in Denver since 2022 Yeah, and in the last three years, in the last 14 games, regular season and playoffs combined, against Denver, the Lakers are one in 13, and blew

K.B. 21:18
them out, blasted them blew him out. It wasn't even close from Jump ball. It wasn't even close. Luca goes on to drop 30. LeBron did his thing. The role players did their thing. Let's not just call

Graydon Prescott 21:30
them the role players. Austin Reeves, this is AR 15. This is a real big three. Austin Reeves, 20 points per game. Third up, yeah. And Rui hachimura, catch and shoot open threes, best. In the end, I think they had four players, 20 points that were Yes, 20 points are better. LeBron. It was Reeves, it was Rui achimura. And

K.B. 21:48
this wasn't a fluke. Ladies and gentlemen, pay attention to the LA warrior or the LA Lakers. This team is going to be a problem come postseason.

Graydon Prescott 21:55
Oh yeah, we're going to the finals. They're serious. We're going to the finals in the Warriors. They also made a stroke of genius, yes, towards the trade deadline, bringing in Jimmy Butler. Now it wasn't, it didn't make the same waves,

K.B. 22:06
right? We kind of saw this one coming. Yeah, he was unhappy,

Graydon Prescott 22:09
but not a lot of people gave credit to the trade that they should have. Stephen A Smith included. He said he didn't think it was going to make an impact. Five and one since the trade, he has apologized, yeah, oh yeah. He's taking that back five and one since the trade, and one of the best defensive ratings in the league.

K.B. 22:25
It could easily be six and oh, they barely lost that initial game.

Graydon Prescott 22:29
It was questionable, too. Some some bad calls, yes, but they easily could have won that game. Kyrie goes for 42 okay. They play the same team again. That was the last game before the all star break. They played them again, second game at Sunday All Star break in San Francisco. Wow. I mean, Steph Curry is doing his night night celebration. Was there four minutes left in the third quarter right, and he didn't get in the rest of the game. And they win the game by 26 points. And great. You

K.B. 22:55
know, I will submit that ad didn't play. But the way that the Warriors are moving the ball moving without the ball having another dog. I think it was Draymond Green that said, we need an a hole in the locker room. Before this trade, he went to management, Joe LACOB, Dunleavy, and said, We need an a hole in the locker room. We need a pit bull, a dog. And they bring in probably the preeminent pit bull in the league in Jimmy Butler play off Jimmy and the Warriors haven't looked this good since they won the championship a couple of years ago. Yeah, and so he goes on to predict they're going to win a championship. Now, I don't know if I'm I got my that sold my Lakers, but they look really good, and I expect them to finish out the season real strong. Absolutely.

Graydon Prescott 23:39
There's a couple more NBA things I want to talk about. Unfortunately, we don't have the time. Yes, as the show wraps up, I have to get some NCAA Women's things into this. First of all, Notre Dame, they lost. They're no longer number one in the country. The third UCLA is to Texas, North Carolina State. Texas is the new AP, number one. Now here we go. I'm gonna get this out. I am not concerned at all by Notre Dame's loss, and here's why, they shot 17% worse than their average for the season on threes. They're a 42% shooting team. They shot 25% yesterday. That's not very good, but it's a fluke. No NC State there is 66% free throw shooting team. They shot 92% yesterday. Yes, on 26 attempts, they shot 24 for 26 that's a 26% increase, unreal yes from their season average. Okay, there was also an extreme foul discrepancy. 26 free throws for NC State 10 for Notre Dame. Wow. So with all that being said, I'm not concerned at all that Notre Dame lost this game in double overtime. Nonetheless, correct? Okay, you get beat by a top 10 AP team, whatever, on the road, double overtime, whatever, shake it off. They'll be fine. I still got notre name winning the national championship. Nothing really to see there. Now, the big game is this Saturday, juju, the first juju, juju, Watkins and her USC Trojans, number four in the country now, are going to Beverly Hills to play against UC. La again, second time in two weeks, and the winner is going to be the Big 10 champion. Both teams right now have lost one regular season game in the Big 10. One USC is currently number one in the Big 10 because they beat UCLA. Beat UCLA, right? That's the tiebreaker. Both teams have one loss, and USC beat UCLA. So that's the tiebreaker. And USC loss, of course, was Iowa, who UCLA almost lost to yesterday, correct? You know, they beat him, 6765 but they won the game. Yes, and it doesn't matter how you win, as long as you win. Shout out to the Hawkeyes. Wow, yeah, that's huge for them. So USC and UCLA on Saturday at UCLA, last time I said UCLA was gonna win it, and Juju showed up and shut me and everybody else who said UCLA was gonna win this game up before she dropped 3838 points, 11 emails, five blocks. Wow, no, eight blocks and five assists. Yeah, that was a game. That was a game this time. I'm gonna go UCLA again. Wow, because it's at UCLA and they're gonna have something to prove. I'm gonna take UCLA hesitantly, very, very hesitantly, right? Last time I was kind of Gung Lauren bets is probably gonna have a better game. Last time I was kind of gung ho about it, I really believed that UCLA was gonna win that game with a modicum of ease. Not this time. Yeah, I felt Juju had something to prove. And yeah, she prove it now that she doesn't have as much to prove, maybe she doesn't play, but the danger

K.B. 26:23
is, what if she feels she does?

Graydon Prescott 26:27
You know what? I'm gonna revoke my UCLA pick, and I'm gonna say anybody can win the game. And I know this is a soft way to do things. I'm sorry. It's really a toss up. Word

K.B. 26:36
you're looking for is wimpy.

Graydon Prescott 26:40
UCLA. Fine. UCLA. All right. You started

K.B. 26:43
here. I've got I'm gonna go with USC the Trojans. I feel like Juju. She's one of those players where she she hasn't had enough. She wants to demonstrate that she This isn't, I don't know. This is not a tie. She doesn't feel like Lauren Betts is the best player in the nation. Juju Watkins is saying, I don't think

Graydon Prescott 27:00
anybody thinks Nour and bets is the best player in the nation. I think she's, she's the consensus. Oh, it's, it's Juju. I think it's Paige. It's Hannah Hidalgo. I agree. And for me, it's Hannah Hidalgo.

K.B. 27:10
Lauren Betts has been a lot on no short season. AP, cool.

Graydon Prescott 27:16
Let's get all let's get this straight right now. She's in

K.B. 27:19
on that page. Becker, so you can shout out to page back, yeah, yeah. And UConn,

Graydon Prescott 27:23
number five team in the country right now looking

K.B. 27:29
scary. They are balling. So

Graydon Prescott 27:31
that's the big game coming up this weekend. You're taking USC. I am very, very reluctantly taking UCLA again. This is as reluctant as I could be about something, taking UCLA in this game. I don't want to go against USC. I would love it if you were UCLA, but

K.B. 27:51
you're nervous, yeah, UCLA, but you're nervous, yeah,
