Hey everybody, and welcome to another episode of sports prep, live, sports prep live, where we unbox the bike and talk excellent in athletics.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the final episode of the fourth season of sports prep live here on 91.5k U N, V, H t2, radio. So this one is going to be pretty fun. Not too much heavy topic going on today. We have some NBA playoff we have the W n, b, a returning, which means that I get to talk about my personal favorite league to discuss, at least on this show. And then we also have some, well, I guess you could say some more daddy issues in sports drama, not too much, not nearly as much as the, you know, shadoor Sanders situation with with his pop Dion. It's not that much of a big deal. Does not rise to that level, right? But, you know, it's still a father intervening slightly too much. It's a trend that we've seen over the past few years in the NBA with Team Morant with levar ball. Yes, so this isn't the first time we've seen it, but got a little bit of an Addy issue other than that, pretty light show coming up, at least in terms of the heaviness of the topic, but it's still going to be a very fun one. So I want to start with the WNBA because I don't like wasting time and I don't like waiting to get to the things that I really want to talk about. So we're going to go WNBA first, and it is pre season, so the season hasn't exactly started yet, but we have gotten a look at these new look teams. We've gotten a look at the revamped Las Vegas aces. Roster, yes, with with jewel Lloyd, looking good with Asia Wilson coming back, Jackie young, Chelsea Gray, the revamped roster. Kate Martin, unfortunately, no longer with us. She's with the Valkyries now. She's gonna be doing her thing with the Valkyries. Absolutely. Same thing with Tiffany Hayes, by the way, yes, but wanted her to come back. They will be great fan favorites. Yes, absolutely. But this team here in Las Vegas, we got to start with them, because this is obviously built program. This is a team that's ready to win right now. They are built for a championship. Absolutely do not get it twisted. Jewel Lloyd is already a three time champion Asia. Wilson is a two time champion. Chelsea gray is a three time champion. This team is built on the backs of champions. Becky Hammond, during her playing career champion as a coach now a two time champion. Yes, this team has been built on the backs of champions. Of course, I don't have to get into it, but Becky Hammond, and we're going to get a little bit to this guy. A little bit later, Becky Hammond came up under coaching. She came up coaching under Greg pop Greg Popovich, we're gonna get to him a little bit later, stepped away from the Spurs as head coach, but he's moved to legend, the one you know, for my money, He's the greatest. His fingerprints

K.B. 3:16
are all over the NBA, right? So many positive ways

Graydon Prescott 3:19
and in it so and in so many ways that you you wouldn't even think of absolutely top of your Absolutely, we're gonna get to him. Stand up guy, we'll get to him. I love Coach Bob, yeah, absolutely, we'll get to him, though. WNBA, we got the aces. They're looking good. I think this is a team that can make a run at a championship. And I think they're probably my third, I think third, maybe fourth team, I think in the running to win the championship this year, really, I would, I would say that New York should be the favorite to repeat out of respect for what they did. I think that Minnesota, Minnesota, Nafisa Collier Waller is coming. She's a favorite. I think Minnesota should have won it last year. You know, I'm never gonna forget how game five ended in regulation with the foul call for Brianna Stewart, right? I don't it wasn't a foul. Oh,

K.B. 4:08
that was horrible. Yes, it wasn't a foul. Yes, I remember that play,

Graydon Prescott 4:13
right? I think Minnesota should have been the champions. New York did win it, but, um, Minnesota deserved to win that champion. And then my third team that could be a championship contender this year, and I think will be a championship contender this year, is the Indiana Fever, right? And the reason for that is new head coach, Stephanie white. We've spent some time talking about her and her pedigree, yes, as a head coach Indiana girl in the WNBA, yes. And then you got, obviously, at the head of the snake is Caitlin Clark, the mice, the official odds on favorite to win. The MVP right over Asia Wilson, she is the favorite. She's given a 34% chance to win, next to Asia Wilson's 21% chance to win. That sounds

K.B. 4:55
like a duh moment, because Caitlin has been in the lab the entire summer. Now to her credit, so has Asia Wilson. And Asia Wilson is, I'm a huge fan, but I have been a fan of Caitlin since she was in ninth grade, and I've seen her play in person. I've seen her play in high school, this young lady, it just goes without saying. It almost sounds as if we're beating a dead horse. She is a problem, yeah. And the reason you coined the nickname for her, the maestro, before anybody else out there attempts to take credit for it, I know there was a gentleman who wrote an article a few years ago. Gray coined the the name the maestro for Caitlin Clark, I think when she was a sophomore. Yeah, so, so this goes way back. He was still in elementary school. Yep, I was nine, yes. So make sure that we give credit where credit is due. And she's being referenced as the maestro more and more in the press. Thank you. But it was gray. Who did that first, when he was in like, fifth or sixth grade, fifth grade, somewhere in there, and giving her that, that name, and it is apropos, she sees the court like nobody else, passes like nobody else. Obviously, the shooting, that's what excites a lot of people, but Caitlin Clark's basketball IQ is off the charts. I don't even know if it's quantifiable. So the fact that she is an odds on favorite coming into this year, and no disrespect to Asia Wilson, because she's a Hooper as well, high basketball IQ as well. She was in the lab all summer long. And I think she had to be, because I think everyone knows Caitlin Clark is coming and so to your point, so is the Indiana Fever.

Graydon Prescott 6:28
Absolutely revamped roster. They managed to keep Kelsey Mitchell. Yes, we needed that. At the end of season three, we said that this should be their primary goal. Yes, we do. Heading into the off season was retaining Kelsey Mitchell. They got it done and then adding depth, which they did. They they got DeWanna Bonner. They got Sophie Cunningham, Natasha Howard. Natasha Howard from Dallas, Dallas. Yeah, no, on a banner, being from the Connecticut son. Sophie Cunningham, being from the Phoenix, mercury, Sydney Colson, fan favorite from Las Vegas. Yes, she's she's with the fever. Now, playoff experience, absolutely. They brought back their big woman, and then they got a new coach. Yes, so and you know, Aaliyah, Boston, and Caitlin Clark, this goes without saying, they're here to stay, or they're there to stay. So fever are looking good, and I think they're going to be one of the most dangerous teams in the league this year, right up there with the Liberty

K.B. 7:20
play the Brazil national team, yeah, which a day before had played Chicago, and Chicago beat them by about 20

Graydon Prescott 7:29
it was 89 to 62 Chicago. Okay, so 27 beat

K.B. 7:33
them by 27 which is a good thumping. No disrespect, that's a good thump. However, they also played the Indiana Fever at Carver Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City. Carver Hawkeye arena have been there some of my old my boys have played there. I know the place well. It is an excellent stadium, one of the best arenas in all of college sports. Remember, Iowa doesn't have professional team. So people pour into the Hawkeyes like you would not believe, almost like they pour into, say, a Duke. Even though North Carolina has professional teams, the fans there are fanatical. They are rabbit they are always present. They travel for this team. I saw a stat line the other day where the average distance for players or for fans to travel to see Caitlin Clark in Iowa or Indiana was 243 and 257 miles respected. So those fans are loyal, and a lot of a lot of those people are coming out of of Iowa. But yeah, this is just to say this is a phenomenal basketball team that has been assembled here, as you were referencing the fanfare is there. Caitlin is not going to disappoint this year again. Hats off to Asia, Wilson, Las Vegas, Aces, but I saw the fever play this Brazilian team, and I believe the score, if I'm not mistaken, was like 112 108 a 108 to was it 40 something? 44 to 44 I mean, oh my goodness. And Caitlin Clark was doing Caitlin Clark things, but above and beyond that, the cohesiveness Stephanie White has got these young ladies playing defense, moving the ball. And I am a big proponent of moving the ball. Teams are dangerous, especially if they're shooters, and they have surrounded her with people that can get to the basket and people who can light it up from from the three point.

Graydon Prescott 9:27
Yep. So Indiana, I think, is really going to be a contender straight away, one of the best teams in the league. And it's going to be Indiana. It's going to be the Liberty who didn't make really many changes. They actually lost Courtney vandersloot, which might hurt them, or which will right

K.B. 9:41
another young lady with high basketball like you, they lost her to Chicago. Chicago, yes,

Graydon Prescott 9:46
so Chicago Sky got a little bit better, but new head coach, which for the fever, I think was a good thing, but I thought Chicago Weatherspoon did a fine job based on the challenges that she had. I don't think she deserved to have been. Go, I agree. I agree 100% I don't know who this guy is. You know, I call him Fabio because he's got this super long hair and, you know, he hired his sister. I'm not a big fan of nepotism. I never have been. I never will be. So he's got his older sister. I think she's 11 years older than him. Not that they're not a basketball family. I get it. He's had a couple of assistant coaching jobs. He was at USC for a stint. I do know that, but I think, I believe this job is bigger than him, right? And I'm gonna say this, he did a disservice to his sister, hiring her as the Chicago I agree, because now you know, if they fizzle out, right? And say it's not her fault, say it's injuries, fault of the team, whatever, not able to, you know, somebody doesn't play up to standard, right? But for any reason, if the Chicago Sky fizzle out this year and don't perform well, kind of like they did last year, right? You know, they got off to a pretty solid start, and then they just fizzled out, she's going to be radioactive if something happens like that and she loses her job, or were to lose her job after one season or two seasons, sure, there aren't going to be teams looking around like, oh, you you have some head coaching experience. It's going to be your brother hired you, right? Like, what are we really gaining from you? With Weatherspoon, there's undeniable basketball status. WNBA, a legend.

K.B. 11:19
She held this game, and you bring her in for a year, yeah, that's embarrassing. That's

Graydon Prescott 11:24
ridiculous, absolutely. And to replace her with your sister, I don't care who she is, what kind of basketball mind she is, it's still the optics of that are not in the favor of the Chicago Sky organization. And I

K.B. 11:38
will add this. You know, the reason that Chicago got a high draft pick last year is because they were one of the weaker teams. Yeah, and that's the way it goes. So if you are one of the weaker teams, look, I know that there's a lot of comparisons made because they came into the league at the same time, but, but let's keep it a buck. Angel Reese is no Caitlin Clark, they are not on the same level. It's not even close. I get the whole double double thing, but in terms of impact on winning far different teams, far different background. I know Angel won the, you know, NCAA championship at LSU with a team that was really loaded and, you know, Caitlin took basically just drug A team that had no business being in the NCAA tournament to the championship twice so, and what we saw from them last year, they're just not on the same level. And this is not about them. I say that to say both of those teams were got high draft picks. And the reason you get a high draft pick is because you didn't do well the previous season or seasons, and so you get a high draft pick to try to introduce some parity over time into the league. Same thing that happens in the NBA, the NFL draft, you name it. And since this was a weakened team, since they got a high draft pick, they got a couple of them, if I'm not mistaken, gray. They got not only Angel Reese, but they got Camilla cardosa as well. So they were really in a weakened position. You couldn't expect a lot of them in year one, and so to hire Teresa Witherspoon and fire her in a year where they are just starting to get their footing under them, they got another high draft pick this year, right? So I think it was really a disservice to her and the person that they brought in to play replace her, whom I've never heard of, Fabio again, is what I'm going to call him, because he's got long dreads. It looks like he should be doing a commercial for one of the hair care lines, but I don't know anything about him as a coach, and I follow basketball very closely, so I'm going to keep a close eye on this, because I have a feeling Chicago's going to have egg on their face in the not too distant future. Yeah,

Graydon Prescott 13:37
it's great. And Prescott here on Sports prep live as we wrap up the season, we got some interesting WNBA discussions NBA as well as, like I said at the beginning, daddy issues. Now that we've discussed kind of the overview of WNBA, and unfortunately, you know, since the season is coming to an end, we're going to have to kind of wait until the next time to talk WNBA, which sucks because it's the preseason and the season, it's just getting ready to kick off. But with that being said, I'd like to move on to the NBA Playoffs, just for a little bit to discuss the Indiana Pacers. Wow. And let's just be clear, the Indiana Pacers are a very good, good basketball team. Tyrese Halliburton was made, was ranked for some kind

K.B. 14:21
most overrated player in the NBA. Yes, which is, Bs, ridiculous.

Graydon Prescott 14:25
This young man can hoop. It should be Rudy. It should be Rudy gobert, but it's Tyrese Halliburton.

K.B. 14:31
I don't, I don't know who it should be, but it shouldn't be Tyrese Halliburton.

Graydon Prescott 14:35
It should be Rudy gobert, or, I don't know, maybe Evan Mobley. Man, shots fired. I'm just look, I'm calling a spade. Evan Mobley won Defensive Player of the Year for what because he blocked a few shots like Victor wembanyama. If that's the criteria, he should have won it. He just didn't qualify for the amount of games played.

K.B. 14:51
Okay, so, but we both agreed on green

Graydon Prescott 14:53
should have won it. Let's just say here. Let's just get this out there. Tyrese Halliburton should not have been the most overrated player. Has voted on by the players, whatever Indiana, he's proving that right now, Indiana goes in the first round against the honest and the bucks, and they, gentlemen, sweep them. They beat him in five games. And some people are going to say, oh, Damian Lillard went down. The bucks were down by 20 in the game that they went down three games to one. When Damian Lillard went down, they were losing the series regardless, with or without Dave, whether it would be five games or six games they were going to lose, right? I don't care what anyone else says. Should have just stayed on the sidelines, right? He no bucks weren't winning that series. Correct? Tyrese Hall, the written hits a game winner to win game five close out the series. Big moment. And then his dad. And then his dad storms onto the he storms onto the court like,

K.B. 15:42
this is AAU Basketball yelling

Graydon Prescott 15:44
at Giannis, like flexing a shirt, talking about, oh, overrate that. Like, you know, going at Giannis, mind you Giannis, under the combo is a seven foot, 260 pound Greek giant and champion, yeah, an NBA champion. MVP multiple time. MVP, yes. Like, come on, what are we doing? Why are you going at Giannis? Also, just, just to be clear, Giannis is one of the most likable guys in the NBA. He's never said a negative thing about anybody. Ever correct. And Tyrese halliburton's Dad decides to go at Giannis for whatever reason. Maybe he felt offended. Maybe he thought that by reading that 14% of players voted for Tyrese Halliburton in a poll that not every player in the league voted on, and

K.B. 16:29
it was an anonymous Yeah, like, oh, it really doesn't matter. But you know, you asked the question, why are you going at Giannis? Let's, let's take it. Take it a step further. Take it. Take it a step back further. Why are you on the floor in a position to say anything to Giannis in that moment, if you're excited for your son as well you should be or your daughter, whomever it happens to be, and you are hugging them, and you're saying to them, yeah, they said you were overrated. You just proved them wrong. Yada yada yada, I get all of that stuff. I don't even mind the excitement of going to your son or your daughter on the floor in that moment to celebrate with them, because Tyrese Halliburton has overcome a lot. He is an unlikely NBA potential superstar growing up in rural Wisconsin. You know that is not a basketball Mecca. When I say rural Wisconsin, I'm not talking Madison. I'm not talking Milwaukee. This is rural Wisconsin, farm country, and makes it to, you know, and many people felt like he was kind of disrespected in terms of the offers that he got. He went to a school that, although it may not get a lot of national respect, they are known for turning out really good point guards, you know, much in the same way that that Notre Dame is known for turning out point guards on the female side. Iowa state knows what it's doing when it comes to developing ball handlers and floor general they know what the heck they're doing, and there's a long history of that. So he's got excellent tutelage. He came in he did exactly what many of the people who saw him in college thought he would end up doing, and that his dad steals this moment by getting in some ridiculous tiff with Giannis. And not only did he do this, but there's a history of this, right? So people started looking into there's been complaints from agents, there's been complaints from other NBA teams, there's been complaints from players. He's done this sort of thing before, and this is indicative of what you see in AAU Basketball where parents cannot control themselves. They end up getting in arguments with the referees. They end up getting in arguments with the other teams. They get in arguments with other parents. There's there's fights that break out. There's all sorts of bad stuff that comes out of this. And that's what it reminded me of. And so the NBA, much to their credit that said he is going to be prevented from coming to any games for the remainder of this playoff season. And I don't think that was heavy handed enough. I think they should have come down harder on him, because there is a repeated history of him engaging this type of behavior, but it was a really embarrassing moment. Yeah, I get after the fact he came out, apologized to Giannis, apologized to the Indiana Pacers, apologized to the Milwaukee Bucks, but it was egregious, and it's not something that you should do. It was an embarrassing moment, and I hope that he learns from this, but it's good, good writtens. They kicked him out for the rest of the playoffs, and because you couldn't keep your mouth shut, you are missing some of the greatest and most cherished moments your son may ever have in his career as a basketball player, whether it's AAU, whether it's college, or whether it's professional. Yeah,

Graydon Prescott 19:25
I think that's enough said on that topic. There's not much I can really add as for the rest of the things going on in the NBA, Golden State. Beat the rockets in seven it was a very interesting, weird a lot of talk series, wow, the Clippers managed to lose to the nuggets got blown out in game seven. Typical things that the Clippers do, you know, not, not exactly a franchise that has much playoff success. And then on the other side, in the east, not much going on there either. Pacers beat the Cavs for. Game one in Cleveland, the number one seed, 64 wins, and then the Celtics and Knicks is going to be, I don't think that's going to be an interesting series. I honestly think the Celtics are going to take care of the Knicks and maybe, as they did this regular season. Yeah, it's not going to be a challenging I don't see a lot of drama there. I think the dramas in the West it will be the Battle of the MVP finalists, which is Giannis and Shay. Shay is going to win the MVP, Giannis or not? Shay, yes. Shay is going to win the MVP. I believe deserves to win the MVP. I disagree. But go on and Well, statistically, he deserves to

K.B. 20:35
win. But I think it's more than statistics. It's more than the numbers. And I think, look, you have four, and I said this before you have four, five MVPs, Shay

Graydon Prescott 20:45
has one playoff appearance, by the way, and one championship. Shay has one playoff appearance. I

K.B. 20:50
understand that, but zero MVPs, okay, but, but if you have four MVPs, if

Graydon Prescott 20:55
you average a 31 and one championship, if you average a 30 point triple double for a season. And, yeah, this is a popularity No, if you average a 30 point triple double, and while you're not on the court, your team is on pace to win 14 games, is statistically the worst offensive team in NBA history. And when you're on the court, you're on pace to win 68 games, and your team is statistically the best offensive team in NBA history. You're the MVP. Like, there's no way. I don't want

K.B. 21:24
to hear statistically. I, you know, I get tired of all these numbers. Statistically, you're the best team in the NBA history, but you've got one championship. Like, no, offensively,

Graydon Prescott 21:32
yes. Like, nobody cares. Shay doesn't have a champion. Tell me, like, what? What is she not I'm not talking about Shay. We have to talk about Shane. I'm talking about

K.B. 21:41
this contention, this point that you're you're trying to demonstrate that. Oh, well, the the the Denver Nuggets are statistically one of the best teams in NBA history. No,

Graydon Prescott 21:51
only when jokic is on the court. Even with

K.B. 21:54
jokic is on the court, they've got one. Count it one. NBA champion

Graydon Prescott 21:58
and the thunder have zero. I'm counting zero, n, b, h, I'm not talking

K.B. 22:02
about the thunder. I'm just talking about the notion that that the nuggets are one of the best teams in NBA history. No,

Graydon Prescott 22:08
they're not one of the best. Okay, yeah, his jokic is one of the best players in NBA history.

K.B. 22:12
Okay, but even then, to be one of the best players, because, let's keep it a buck, the MVP is a popularity contest. It's, it's voted on by the press. So it's it's not evidentiary, it's not hard, cold facts. It's not something that I would say is all about the impact that you have, not only on your your your stats, but on winning, on winning championships, on putting your team in a position to win championship. And he has done that once. And I'm not saying he's not a great player. He is a great player, but if you've got four or five MVPs and one championship, somebody has got something wrong. That's my and not just my viewpoint that is a widely ex a widely believed viewpoint, that you've got to give me more now, if you got two or three MVPs and you got a couple of championships, or you got four MVPs and you got two or three championships, I get it, but this popularity contest, because winning a championship is not a popularity contest. You got to show up. LeBron

Graydon Prescott 23:12
James was a four time MVP before he won his second champion, but he does have four championships now he does, but when he won his fourth MVP, like yokic should, but is not going to we knew. We knew what was coming. No, no, absolutely not. We know it was coming. That's not a fair argument to make, because now you can say, Okay, if LeBron, LeBron James has won three of his four championships after the day he won his fourth MVP, jokic could win a championship this season, and an

K.B. 23:41
MVP, if he does, I will fall back, because the

Graydon Prescott 23:44
year LeBron, the year LeBron won his second championship, was the same year he won his fourth MVP. Yokich, right now is in a year where he could, but will not, win his fourth MVP, and he could win his second championship, and LeBron, James, turned out just fine,

K.B. 23:59
okay. Well, talk to me at the end of June, and we will see if yo kitchen, I don't think it's going to happen. And LeBron

Graydon Prescott 24:04
had Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh on his team. Then they won 66

K.B. 24:08
I am not discounting who was on his team. None of that really matters. What I'm saying is this popularity contest of the MVP, because some people have been shafted over this over the years. Yeah, LeBron should have I agree. And I was just about to say, including LeBron James and so I'm not a big fan of this, this MVP making someone great, because there is this aspect of it that is really just a he's likable.

Graydon Prescott 24:31
I think, I think you don't like jokic because he shafted Steph Curry from an MVP that he deserved back in 2021 which is completely true, Steph Curry should have won the MVP, but this year, just looking at this year objectively, Nicola jokic deserves the MVP, and if Shea wins, yokic got shafted, the same way that Steph Curry got shafted in 2021 the same way that LeBron James got shafted in 2018 and in 2011 the same way that Michael Jordan. Shafted. Okay,

K.B. 25:01
well, then why hasn't joking, been shafted like that? This. This is about those are winners. Those guys win has been

Graydon Prescott 25:08
shafted. Joel Embiid should not have won MVP in 2023 What did he do? He didn't make it past the second round. Jokic won the championship. Always say it's a regular season award. Jokic won the championship. Joel, and be said, it's a regular season award. If it's a regular season award, you can't bring championships into it, then, no,

K.B. 25:26
I'm not saying for any given year, I'm seeing accumulatively for a person to have four MVPs and one champion, but it's a regular season award. I just can't put you in the upper echelon of the best players in the history of the sport.

Graydon Prescott 25:40
That wasn't the argument. It was just jokic versus Shay. And this year, jokic had a better season. Shay had a Shay is the better story, and so Shay is going to win the why is he a better story? Because the team won 68 games. They that, you know, they're the young team, up and coming. Shay, Gilda, Alexander, Jalen Williams, case and Wallace, Lou dort, Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein, this team, Isaiah Joe, this team is loaded. They won 68 games. They had the fourth best record in the history of the NBA, only behind the 97 bulls, the 96 bulls and the 1970 or the 73 win warriors, and then the 1972 Lakers. So the fifth best record in the history of the NBA. Look, the thunder are a great story this year, but yokich, HIMSS like just individual statistics and impact most value in

K.B. 26:25
another championship. And then I don't mind how many MVPs you have, but you can't have five MVPs in one championship. Is

Graydon Prescott 26:30
losing this MVP race solely due to voter fatigue. That's the reason. Same way LeBron James lost some of his MVPs to voter fatigue. And Michael Jordan in 1997 voter okay. Now, as we wrap up here, yes, the final case in the Western Conference is Golden State versus Minnesota, which is a really interesting series. I am torn because Golden State has the championship pedigree. But Anthony Edwards is Anthony Edwards. Anthony

K.B. 26:57
Edwards is, oh, my goodness, oh my goodness, I'm gonna take, I'm

Graydon Prescott 27:02
gonna take Anthony Edwards is a legend killer. I'm gonna take the Timberwolves. He swept Kevin Durant. He beat LeBron in five and he beat yogic I'm taking. I

K.B. 27:11
want to do that too, because I am such a huge Anthony Edwards fan. I think Minnesota wins. But there is one counter argument that I heard a few days ago that has stuck with they played four times this year. Of those four times, Minnesota versus Golden State, yep, without Jimmy buckets. Let's

Graydon Prescott 27:30
let's be very clear. Minnesota was below 503 and one. Let's be very clear. Minnesota was below 500 in these four games. And then after January 15, because they haven't played each other. They haven't played since the 15th. Minnesota had the second best record in the Western Conference post january 15, only to the thunder. So the Warriors didn't have Jimmy. Minnesota hadn't figured their new core with Julius Randle out. They're basically two completely different teams. It's almost as if they you know, they've completely switched seasons. You know, post deadline warriors

K.B. 28:03
said, and I think Jalen green and, you know, for my money,

Graydon Prescott 28:10
