  • so I may have only mentioned this 10,000 times coming up later on the jump.

  • The nature boy Ric Flair stopping by to discuss his sneaker Collab with Damian Lillard.

  • And here is Rick's take now on one of our favorite segments.

  • It's a make or miss league and that's coming from then live Easy Ride and jet flying, Rolex wearing diamond ring wearing, kiss, stealing, wheeler dealing.

  • Son of a Gun, Ric Flair.

  • Whoa e Love it.

  • Paul Pierce talking along every word of that.

  • This restrictions in 33 minutes last night.

  • Zion Williamson 26 points, 11 rebounds.

  • Take those restrictions out of here.

  • That guy can go all right.

  • Is this a sign of things to come?

  • Paul?

  • Absolutely.

  • He looks great in the preseason is preseason, but this guy is the real deal.

  • E.

  • Calvin got this version of Zion.

  • But hey, let's just say this.

  • He's got a rebound.

  • He's got to defend for Stan Van Gundy to be satisfied.

  • So good luck, young fellas.

  • Absolutely.

  • And of course I mean, I agree.

  • Album was trying to get those restrictions off all last season, but, hey, they're off now.

  • Make sophomores John Moran had this explosive dunk last night.

  • Do you think that the Rookie of the year is going to take a big leap in year two?

  • I mean, I say yes, but I don't know what kind of leap his team's gonna make.

  • Rachel, I'm I'm thinking that the Grizzlies, they're gonna get scouted a little bit better this year.

  • You know?

  • He's gonna be I know there's not gonna be an All Star Game, but he's gonna be an all star.

  • I mean, this kid is ultra talented.

  • He's gonna be in the next two years, the best point guard in the league.

  • Mark my words, just so much fun to watch.

  • And he's really the kind of young man you want on your team.

  • He's a d on Fox.

  • Thinks he is.

  • I mean, l hasen.

  • Why you gotta be like that Derek box, which was watching his TV quietly in the living room in the training room.

  • Come on, Miss Ceilings.

  • Lemelle A ball has been dishing dimes this preseason.

  • Paul, is his passing even better than advertised?

  • Yeah, absolutely.

  • That's one thing he can do.

  • It runs in the ball.

  • Family, obviously.

  • I mean, you know, he knows his big brother is a great passer, but he has just a great flair for the past.

  • And you see him thought he's around the back, passes these lobs.

  • I'm excited to watch this kid.

  • And when I'm watching these highlights of him, Moran and Zion, let me tell you something.

  • The league is in great hands, moving forward.

  • Amen.

  • Absolutely.

  • Amen.

  • Alright, right, so I'm gonna say it's as advertised because my guy friend Fraschilla called it.

  • He said, He's a great passer.

  • It's the shooting we have questions about.

  • All right, I want to run it back to some ridiculous rookie plays.

  • Fifth overall pick Isaac Okoro had an and one to win the game for the Cavaliers on Saturday.

  • Take a look at this kid.

  • Looks e like how excited everybody is.

  • Even though it's preseason, you gotta build on something.

  • Also on Saturday drafted Nuggets rookie Facundo Kampot so dropping the yoga style dime.

  • All right, let's ease up on undrafted rookie This dude like 35 years old, coming from Real Madrid, he's an old man.

  • Sunday Magic rookie Coal Anthony No, he is dropping the Hawks defender, completing the highlight with a made jumper pushed him down.

  • But it's a good move.

  • It's a good movie.

  • Didn't drop.

  • That's a lot.

  • That's a flop.

  • Yeah, that was a lie.

  • That was a good move.

  • But you gotta watch out for the kid.

  • I really like Coal.

  • Anthony.

  • Absolutely.

  • He got it from his daddy.

  • All right, let's change gears.

  • Talk about the Warriors they take on the King's tonight in their second preseason games.

  • Steph Curry 10 points in 21 minutes in the first one.

  • Paul, What are your expectations for the former two time M V p.

  • Again without Clay Thompson for another season?

  • He's gonna be great, You know, you can't underestimate Greatest.

  • But this is gonna be one of his toughest seasons, I believe, because he doesn't have his running mate.

  • Backcourt guy.

  • He's gonna Seymour defensive scheme stone at him that he didn't have before because you couldn't.

  • You know, you had Clay Thompson and Kevin Durant.

  • You couldn't trap this guy off pick and rolls.

  • You couldn't.

  • You couldn't switch as much.

  • And now he's gonna see defense is that you can zoom in on them a little bit better now, so it's gonna be a tough year for him, but I still expect them to have big numbers.

  • Yeah, Rachel, I agree.

  • It's not gonna be as tough as it was last year, Paul.

  • That's the good news.

  • It's a little.

  • The roster is a little better.

  • They got him some better supporting cast, but it's still kind of the thing that people don't talk about enough, which was that the Warriors had such a great supporting cast around step before.

  • And now it's a lot of young guys and other guys who haven't won a lot that we look at the tape right here, you watch.

  • Claire's gonna go set up, pin down screen for step and right here.

  • You see Jerome Robinson switches out.

  • He's denying the past as he comes out.

  • They should trap him right here.

  • But she's guilty.

  • Alexander is so worried about Clay that he runs after you don't even see step dusting the layup.

  • That's the power of Clay Thompson.

  • Not just a great shooter, but a guy who knows how to move off the ball.

  • This is another version of this again Clay with the split cut screen there, the defender can't get over the other defender doesn't help Step hit shots.

  • Now look at the opposite here.

  • This is without Clay.

  • Look how many Clipper defenders there are looking at him.

  • D'Angelo, Russell and I believe that Z Jacob More over there in the corner, they don't move.

  • What's that?

  • What play does so else he moves.

  • Not just being a great shooter.

  • Moving makes defenders.

  • Can't zero in and lock in on you.

  • Same thing coming down here.

  • Look at this.

  • 1234 Kyle Lowry on the on the weak side, He's not even hugged up on his man.

  • They're all guarding step.

  • Meanwhile, Wiggins, the screener, they're just hanging around.

  • The more you stand still around Steph Curry, the harder it is for him to get the space to create the shot to create the havoc.

  • The Warriors offense is all built on people moving at all times.

  • And to be honest with you, that was something.

  • They had a problem with Kevin Durant towards the end.

  • He just like to stand still because he didn't want to do all that moving anymore.

  • And that makes the offense grind.

  • And I mean, it's another layer to on top of all of that clips in those video.

  • It's the physicality people have against Steph.

  • I certainly remember right in the 2016 finals.

  • One of the things the Cavs did is they went and physically beat Steph up.

  • How much more of that do we expect without play there?

  • I mean again, He's the one target of all this, and this all depends on what everybody else does.

  • What R.

  • Kelly you break or Wiggins or a Wiseman?

  • Can these guys bring something to the table that allows step the freedom of movement?

  • Because the whole thing is when everyone's moving, everyone's a threat.

  • Every cut is a live cut.

  • When we're playing that way, it makes it a lot harder to zero in on anyone got.

  • That's all right.

  • Well, it's gonna be interesting.

  • If anyone's up for it.

  • It's Steph Curry.

  • Thanks for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.

so I may have only mentioned this 10,000 times coming up later on the jump.
