Is David Faulk okay?

Is he really saying that MJ would average 60 points on 75% shooting in today's game?

Do you feel that's Bs or real talk?

Look, let's be s.

And you know the bad part about it was that he was dead serious.

Look, David folk might be sitting back sipping too much of that moonshine because to say that Michael Jordan, with every 60 points on 75% shooting that is observed, I wouldn't even do that when I'd be going to the l A fitness.

I'll be going get buckets.

But to sit, say something to disrespect.

This generation like that is just disturbing to me.

And he's out of line.

Like Jordan wouldn't average 60 points on 70% shooting 75% shooting.

That's just crazy.

You know what never gets brought up in this old time versus modern time debate is, Yeah, it's less physical and you can't hand check and that there's no Detroit Pistons body slamming people to the floor now.

But the defense is so much more complicated.

You could play zone, you could overload one side of the floor.

An isolation is so much, much of a calm or complexes in attack mode than it was when Michael played.

So it's not.

It's not.

People just focus on the physicality.

Of course, this is BS.

Of course, he wouldn't average 60 points on 75% shooting.

He might not even be able to average that in N B A jam.

I just don't understand where these numbers coming from.

What's next?

80 points on 90%.

Sure, like what's What's What's the next thing?

Yeah, it's just utterly ridiculous.

You know, it kind of reminds me, shout out to our friends in the NFL Countdown when they dio Come on, man, this feels like that.

Like this feels like Come on, man.

All right, Next we move on.

Former president and GM of the six or Sam Hinkie did a rare interview with our pal Pablo Torre on the ESPN daily podcast.

Make sure you subscribe to that.

Pablo asked hinky if he'd be interested in returning to the league at some point in any capacity.

Hinky denied it outright.

Here's what he said, Pinky, the creator of the process and Philly, said on his interest in returning to the league quote zero.

I've turned that chapter for sure that part of my life is gone very much like what I'm doing now and for reference.

He is a man who runs a venture capitalist firm at this point.

But Zach is hinky saying that he has zero interest in returning to the MBA.

B s a real talk.

I think it's real talk.

I've never gotten the sense from Sam that he really has any interest in going back to the N b.

A.

He's super happy on the West Coast doing what he's doing.

I think it would take an owner coming to him and saying, You have carte blanche.

I'm never even gonna pick up the phone and tell you what to dio, I'm gonna give you unlimited resource is to do it your way and unlimited time to do it.

And that's just not a realistic scenario.

So I think it's real Talk.

Farewell, Sam.

Hinkie.

Oh, Zach, please.

I can't believe you falling for that.

That's B s.

That's Bs.

If someone came and offered him the bag, he would take the job.

Come on, now.

We always know you just said it earlier in the show money talks, money moves the needle.

So if someone came and offered him a nice job, we just watched it with Darrell Moore.

There are more walked away from the Rockets and says, You know what?

I'm gonna take this time with my family, and I'm, you know, just being my kid's life.

And then all of a sudden, two weeks later, we hearing about or not even two weeks later, Week later, we hear about him taking the Philly job.

Come on, Zack.

Gonna be fooled by that.

Oh, so perk.

People going don't go into venture capital to not make money.

You probably making money.

Yeah, Yeah, I would say he's probably making money, but I would lean towards I'm gonna go with Zakir, mostly because of how toxic it was at the end there.

I mean, the league literally extrapolated him from that situation.

Like I I just think that the the owners around the league, to Zac's point like I don't see anyone giving him carte blanche and whatnot.

And he does live a nice life is what I'm guessing if he's running a venture capitalist firm, So perk Danny Green saying the Clippers were humbled by the basketball gods for not playing the right way.

B s a real talk.

That's real talk.

And they were.

Look, the Clippers were the most arrogant team in the NBA, and they only had one champion for as a player, and that was called Wild Leonard.

Everyone else was cocky talking noise like they won championships and they did get humble.

You have to respect the game.

You have to respect the game of basketball in your opponent.

All the basketball gods, like Danny Green, a three time champion, just said, Well, humble you, and that's what happened to the Clippers.

I think it's really talk only because I love any invocation of the basketball gods.

I believe in the basketball gods.

I believe they're listening and watching, and they are ready to punish or reward you based on your behavior as the perks point.

Look, I do think the Clippers adversity level in the bubble has sort of been understated in the Rush Tau pile on them.

You know, they had three key players leave for family tragedies and come back and none of them were right.

And that was obvious that said they played the Denver Siri's like they just expected Denver to roll over, were up 15 in the third quarter on the virtual elimination, You're gonna roll over.

Well, crews were ready for the Lakers, and when Denver punched back, they just flat out fell to the mat and never got up.

And that's the thing about the MBA.

Perk will tell you, no matter how good your team is, no matter how much you've been yapping all year and blowing people out, you are going to hit adversity in the playoffs.

And it's how you respond to that adversity that to find you as a team and they flat out failed.

And so maybe the basketball gods did punish them.

Ultimately, I agree with you guys.

There were some other things, obviously, injuries played a factor in all this stuff, and I don't think they really understood what kind of injuries that they may have been dealing with.

And they were snake bitten in certain ways.

But they did cheat the process.

It felt like in a lot of ways, they were opportunities for them to get on the same page from a chemistry perspective and for one reason or another, didn't work out, and that's on them.

Ultimately, it's on the players.

It's on the coaching staff.

It's on the organization as a whole.
