  • LeBron James and my eyes and I believe in j will eyes and I believe in Keyshawn Eyes is already to go.

  • But to a lot of old heads like Mike Greeny Stephen a Max, Jalen Rose, he still have a lot to prove.

  • And if he beat this super team along with what he did beating the Golden State Warriors, the 73 9 Golden State Warriors, I don't wanna hear no more goat conversation, all right, because it's over, Might is what?

  • Crown King James.

  • All right, that's what I'm saying.

  • Zoo.

  • That's what my tweet meant.

  • I Yeah, no park.

  • You you You're right.

  • But it's just I'm in between, right?

  • Like M.

  • J LeBron, you know, those guys magic them.

  • I just enjoy watching greatness, so I kind of But I get what you're saying.

  • I totally get what you're saying about beating this trio.

  • It would put you at another level.

  • But King look and I don't fault you for that.

  • Because listen, if I go and sit down with my grandpa and my great uncles, they'll argue me down there, Kareem.

  • Or maybe magic is the goat.

  • Or maybe even Bill Russell, right?

  • If I go sit down with some of my uncles, they may say that, Hey, they go ride with Michael Jordan.

  • If I go sit down with this generation, they gonna ride with LeBron James.

  • So what that tells me is some people like to drink cream soda.

  • Others like to drink Sprite, and some people like to drink Dr Pepper.

  • It's whatever your preface is.

  • I'm not even mad at you about that.

  • The thing that I have a problem with this is that when people start saying like, Championships define, ah, basketball player legacy all the way and that's not true.

  • And it's not accurate.

  • Accurate?

  • Because basketball is a team sport.

  • This is not an individual sport, like boxing or or tennis or golf, where you have to win championships to define your legacy.

  • Do championships help your legacy?

  • Absolutely.

  • But it's a lot of individual accolades throughout for basketball players that actually could elevate them for us being all time grave perk.

  • What what was your feelings?

  • And you knew this all alone?

  • Obviously, you know James Harden the way James went about positioning himself toe leave Houston to get to a destination that his taste buds with, like, what did you What did you think about that?

  • You know, I was a little disappointed in James and James.

  • Great dude, man.

  • Great friend of mine.

  • But I was a little disappointed in them.

  • And they have this old saying it's not.

  • What you do is how you do it.

  • And I wasn't mad at James for requesting the trade or wanting to go toe title contender because he is getting up in this age and he is, uh, going past his prime.

  • But the way he did it, especially the last interview.

  • One thing we all know especially you, J and Key is that the last thing you should do is throw your teammates under the bus.

  • And I thought he did just that by saying We're not good enough.

  • We're not talented enough like you don't have to say that about your teammates.

  • They already know that.

  • You don't wanna be there even if you feel that way.

  • You're supposed to keep that inside so I don't have a problem with him.

  • Want out?

  • I just didn't like the way that he conducted himself.

  • And on another note, his professionalism showing up late to training camp showing up either shape because here's the thing.

  • It gets a little deeper with me.

  • It's gonna hurt the next generation.

  • In my opinion, guys like Charles Barkley, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird who paved the way for guys like James and Kyrie and Kevin Durant and LeBron James to be getting paid hundreds of millions of dollars.

  • Guess what?

  • The way that certain guys are acting right now, they're they're burning that bridge down is gonna hurt the future.

  • And that's what that's not what you want to do, because guess what the owners go do.

  • They're gonna go to the next c b A.

  • And they're gonna be like, No, no, we need to reconstruct some things.

  • We need to address some things.

  • I don't know if we could give guys $100 million Those That's a great point.

  • Perk brought it back to the past.

  • With Michael Jordan now looking ahead to the future on what this could possibly mean, we should mention the deal is now official.

  • It had been unofficially official for a while, but here is the statement from the next GM, Sean Marks, and by the way, is he been swinging for the fences since he got the job all the way around, Quote adding, In all MBA players such as James to our roster, better positions our team to compete against the league's best.

  • He went on to then say, James is one of the most prolific scores in playmakers in our game, and we are thrilled to bring his special talents to Brooklyn.

  • Jet Big Perk does this now, considering the way James Harden got out, you talk about him being unprofessional.

  • You talk about the way he threw some teammates under under the bus.

  • With everything happening with Kyrie, Does this turn to Brooklyn Nets into the new villains of the MBA?

  • Well, I wouldn't say that, but I you know people are gonna be waiting for them to fall or waiting for them to fail.

  • It's not It's not.

  • It's not.

  • They're not bringing a fan base that I tell you that much, especially the way that Kyrie is handling and things right now.

  • And I tweeted about Carrie when he when he first said that he wasn't playing because everything that we're going that's going on in the world today, I said, You know, what if any player decided to take a game or two off and decompress.

  • I wanna address him in Social Justice issues or address what's happening around the world.

  • I'm okay with that.

  • But then when the video surface And then when I found out he wasn't communicating with the organization and things to that nature, that's when it raised the red flag for me.

  • And to top it off, he's the vice president off the players association.

  • So when I said about four or five months ago when they voted cart Rian as the vice president, I said, Oh, Lord, the blind is leading things is exactly why I made that statement.

  • Uh, big, like speaking of Kyrie, what do you think is actually going on?

  • And how does that how does that affect this team when he does decide to come back?

  • Well, that's a good question.

  • I mean, way all wondering what's going on?

  • Hell, I think Sean Marks in the organization and Steve Nash wonder what's going on, and I think that's why they pulled out their liberty, Uh, Liberty Mutual insurance policy and when God, James Harden, because they just don't know.

LeBron James and my eyes and I believe in j will eyes and I believe in Keyshawn Eyes is already to go.
