  • I'm loving all the Chicago Cubs.

  • Where there, Nick.

  • Very impressive.

  • And I wanna ask you a little bit about this matchup on Saturday because Luca Donncha, Steph Curry lead all Western Conference backcourt players and fan votes.

  • And as we prepare to watch them tomorrow night, who do you think is under more pressure this season at large, great use and Steph Curry's legacy always on the line?

  • Every game he plays young, he's finding his own.

  • We've lost Nick.

  • I don't think it is, but perk you can jump in.

  • I do know that there is that public perception perk that it is, but I don't understand it.

  • His legacy shouldn't be on the line every time, right?

  • No.

  • Listen, I tell you this.

  • Let's let's nip this in the bud right now.

  • Steph Curry legacy.

  • And he's never under pressure.

  • He could retire right now, and he's fine and dandy.

  • Okay, The guy who's under the most pressure this season out of Stefan Luca is Luca.

  • We ground Luca and we anointed Luca last season, and I'm guilty of it also because of what he did of being, you know, a top five got in the league.

  • We had him as the M V P favorite coming into the season.

  • Now his numbers do say that he's falling right now, but it's not impactful.

  • Numbers on winning.

  • When you look at LeBron James and how he had that triple double just last night, it impacted winning.

  • Right now, the Dallas Mavericks are not winning basketball games at all.

  • Luca came in a bit out of shape, and he is to Zach Low Point.

  • He is wining and complaining about E got Zach Lowe back all day long because Zach was right.

  • Zach is just telling the truth and stating the facts, and that's what we got to do is be honest, because if it was Russell Westbrook that was averaging a triple double and wasn't getting wins or whatever the case may be, we will hear about it every single day.

  • And Luca, he has to be held accountable just like any other player in the league.

  • So he's under the most pressure toe about toe, have a great season and to carry this Dallas maverick team because they were supposed to be a top five team in the West, not a lottery team, which they are right now.

  • Man, like you said it all to me.

  • I'm like, OK, so what can we say?

  • Steph hasn't.

  • Can he lead his team to a championship?

  • He's done it.

  • Can he win the M V P show?

  • He's one of the best in the league.

  • Done that.

  • Is he one of the purest shooters?

  • Does he have to prove that he could?

  • He shoots better than anyone.

  • No, I mean, like, what?

  • What else does he have to prove?

  • It's like if anything, he's proven himself that he wants to prove to himself he could come back and dominate when their team.

  • Right now, he's the main focus and he's still averaging 28 points a game, you know?

  • So I think for Luca, all of those things that we just talked about with Steph he Luca is trying to do now.

  • So I feel like the pressure more is on him.

  • Like you said, he's touted now as n v P candidate.

  • If we step as the VP candidate coming in, well, we know if he didn't, he already has wanted.

  • He's done that already he has two of them.

  • Exactly my point.

  • So I feel like for Steph, it's just let me just come back here and just show you like you said.

  • This light skinned brother can still shoot the ball.

  • Maybe I forgot, but I could still shoot the ball.

  • I could still dominate the basketball game for my team, even though I don't have all of my guys with me.

  • And for Luca.

  • He's still showing that, you know, he shows flashes and he has stretches and he is balling like you said, but he has to do it consistently.

  • And right now when you're when you have that, uh, when you're touted as Ah M V P candidate And it was leading coming into the season over a LeBron James and Kevin Durant and some of these guys, you got to back it up.

  • So that's where the pressure, I think lies on on Luca.
