Big 3, MLB Commissioner, Chauncey Billups, and More!

Sports Radio Network. As always, want to give a big shout out live to all our sports byline affiliates around the country and with the American Forces Radio Network around the world. Shout out to the service men and women out there getting a little taste of home from the spitting statistician helping him win their leagues and win that cash. As usual, on a Tuesday, I got my boy Donnie Burns in the building with me on the ones and twos keeping it so hot that we sweat steam blowing

up like a Samsung seven. You know what it is. We've got a great show for you on a Tuesday. As usual, I will give you my starting lineup with starters you need today. I am really confident about the two guys I'm gonna be giving you today. I think they are definitely the way you need to win some DFS money tonight. So stay tuned for that. It's an off day on the Finals. But I got my man Donnie Burns here is the basketball correspondent and love doctors.

So you know, we're gonna talk a couple of things. We're hearing things that were going on in the locker room on the Cleveland Cab side after Game two. We're gonna get into that and what might happen to uh, you know, lengthen this series a little bit. We also have other basketball news I want to get in too. I got an update with Enis Cantor, remember it was hashtag free Nis. I talked about what was going on

with him a couple of weeks ago. And also interesting and you know, kind of closing final news on Chris Bosh that you want to stay tuned for. Donnie Burns and I were also you know, NBA is not the only basketball we talk. We're gonna talk Big Three again, you know, Ice Cubes League. We're gonna give our power rankings of the teams and listen, I'm gonna give you Yesterday we talked about Jeremy Macklin and where he may

wind up. There is another Pro Bowl wide receiver that it looks like will be hitting the market, so we'll talk about that as well. And I'm also gonna get into something I read Gary Sheffield, former Yankee Great, former Marlon Grade and others talked about what rule changes he would make if he was commissioner of Baseball. So that is our poll question. We'll talk about how you can interact with the show all that when we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle. You know, see if you would

make any changes if you were a commissioner. For a day, we got a lot of news to cover me My boy, Donnie Burns, the Love Doctor, you know what it is. It should boy Day Martinez. We're here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Come on right back after the break, we gonna get into it. You welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle's you Boy Day Martinez holding you down on a Tuesday. Let's get right into it because I think we got a jam pack

show today. I got a lot of news to break. I got a lot of fun stories to talk about, So let's get into it right now, as we start with our starting lineup, with news and notes around Major League Baseball, just cross like in the last fifteen or twenty minutes, the Blue Jays have placed second baseman Devin Travis on the disabled list with a knee issue. Um, he had a bone bruise in his knee. Here's the thing, it's really bad timing. I mean, dude in May had an ope yes of nine four. You like that as

a second baseman. But the thing is with Travis, he's never staying healthy, so I think we may have to give him the dreaded injury prone tag. More news and notes Astros in fielding Arvin Gonzalez, he um jammed his hands sliding into third base the other day. He's listed as day to day. Keep an eye on him for the red hot Houston Astros. Speaking of red hot, Justin Boor, who I've been talking about all last month, was very high on the player righted four the month of May.

Looks like he may be going to the d L as well. He also has a bone bruise from for Justin Boord though it's in his ankle. He landed awkwardly on first base on Saturday, hasn't played since. Also Wade Davis, closer for the Chicago Cubs, he has been placed on the paternity list. That means he's gonna miss somewhere between. I believe it's one in four days. You may have a cheap opportunity for saves out of a guy like

Cogi Yuahara. In the meantime, another guy who may wind up on the d L because this time because of a back issue is Mike Napoli. So watch that he's still struggling with that back issue. Hasn't been uh in games in the last three or four games. All right, So as you know what we do here is I hold myself accountable to what happened yesterday. Yesterday I told you that you could beat Carlos Martinez. I told you

the slate. I did not truly like. I believe there were seven games out there and Carlos Martinez was the most expensive option at ten thousand on fan duel. But I didn't necessarily like it, especially at Cincinnati, where I thought the ball would fly in the great American small park. I did not think he was, you know, kind of like elite enough to be worth that ten thousand dollar price, and I thought you could beat him. Well, Carlos Martinez not only probably got beat by you guys, but he

got beat by the Cincinnati Reds. He only picked he picked six and third innings, gave up four runs though struck out eight. I think you could beat him. The guy I gave you probably did help you beat him because he cost twenty six hundred dollars less. Last night, in a begrudging move, I said, Mike Fires, as the Astros, you know, the best team in the American League, we're facing the worst team in the American League, the Kansas

City Royals. The Astros did in fact run their wind streak to eleven games, and Mike Fires did in fact get the win to help you out. He only gave up two runs, struck out four tonight. Like I said, I hope there is still time left for you to make these moves. There are two pictures I like. Listen, it's Max schers are going today. So if you want to throw Max Scherzer, you know you're gonna have to pay eleven thousand, nine hundred on FanDuel. But if you want to do that. I can't hate on that. That's

all good. Try these two guys though, if you're looking to beat them slightly cheaper. Okay. I love Chris Archer tonight. I love, love love Archer tonight at ten thousand, seven hundred, he is at home. The Rays are big favorites there at minus one seventy tonight against the Chicago White Sox. Listen. I have told you this time and time again. And if you listen to my boys Tony Sencata and Benny Riccardi on the DFS Lineup Block Show, they tell you all the time as well. The Chicago White Sox are

decent against lefties, but are bad against rights. Okay, they are absolutely the worst against right He's in Major League Baseball. Chris Archer, with that strikeout upside, I think he is a light out play tonight, I'll him even better than Scherzer and the other guy. Listen every five days if you hear the fantasy freestyle, you're gonna hear me give out my man that I like so much because of his k upside. But oh, does you have a great matchup tonight I'm talking about Listen, if you watch, if

you listen to fantasy freestyle a lot. If you talk to the spitting statistician, or for example, if you follow me on Twitter at spitting speeds, you probably know this. My man Robbie Ray for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Tonight he's going off at ten thousand, which is very high. But listen, this k upside that he has every time is just you know, it's it cannot be messed with. And here's the other thing. Tonight, he's against the Padres. The Padres

strike out second most in the major leagues. They have struck out five twenty eight times as a team already. So strike out picture, strike out team. I like it. Robbie Ray, I put him down. I'm telling you Robbie Ray will get eight or more strikeouts tonight. Also, the Padres lowest run score total in the National League right now at only one nineties seven so far this year. So there you have it. Okay, I like Archer and

I like Robbie Ray. I liked them a lot. I think that's the way you go to zig when other people are zagging. With Max Scherzer tonight, here's what I want to tell you that I want to move on to a very interesting story because listen, we've talked about this, We've even had poll questions up and by the way, we got a great poll question up that relates to this today on Fantasy Freestyle. If you want to follow us at f n T S Y Radio on Twitter, or you could always, like I said, ask me questions,

follow me at Spitting Speeds on Twitter. The poll question we have up today is, uh, if you were commission you know, major League Baseball for you know, a day, a week, a year or whatever, what changes would you consider making? Okay? And I asked that because we've talked about some of these things, you know, throughout the season.

We've talked about the extra inning rules, you know, because we've had a number of games go fifty sixteen seventeen innings this season, and it sounds like it's a hot topic. You know, the day after people are you know, sitting up until one thirty two o'clock in the morning watching baseball. Um, so is it the extra inning rules? Is it pace of play? You know, We've talked about a lot of things involving pace of play. I have some strategies coming

up for you. In a hot second, is an instant replay or maybe it's time to you know, do away with some of these formats, like the d H in the National League, like the wild card format, you know it should should the wild card be two wild card teams? Should that be a one game playoff? Or should there be other subtle tweets to that. Also, if you have other ideas, let me know. I couldn't put up all the options right, but this poll question it's inspired by

my man Gary Sheffield. Okay, Gary Sheffield did a nice piece recently in the Players Tribune where he talked about if he were the commissioner, the rules changes that he would make, and I gotta get into it because some of them might find very very interesting. The first one comes off what we saw with that Bryce Harper brawl. He said that listen, pictures these day is have no

fear of throwing at hitters. He says that either you know, either hitters, if they charge a mount, should be allowed to you know, brandish a weapon like their helmet or the baseball bat. But what he also says is that the suspension should be even. And what that means is when a picture gets suspended for five games, he's only missing one start. When a position when a when a position player gets suspended five games, he's missing five games. Pause,

she's only missing that start. So maybe suspend pictures for longer in that kind of situation. Okay, that's one idea. I'm not mad at Gary Sheffield for that. He's also talking about he would do away with all these rules around sliding. Remember we had that play a few years back where Buster Posey got knocked out. There's the Chase Utly play um against the Mets a few years back as well. He's saying, listen, that is part of the game. And if you're going in trying to break up a

double play, that's what's trying to do. Break up the double play. If you're going in trying to score a run, and now you he's saying, if you have to think about you know, where you slide, how you do it, he's saying that takes too much time. You shouldn't have to think about it. It's you know, the saying goes, it's a bang bang play, right, So he's saying, let it be bang bang, And of course Gary Sheffield is going to come out and talk about that. Listen. He

had a very interesting idea for extra innings. I don't know if it's viable, but I think it is creative. And then it's not about putting runners on second base or anything like that. What he's saying is that once a game goes into extra innings, the manager should be allowed to reshuffle their line up every inning and just send up whatever hitters they want. That'll probably shorten the game.

Once you get into extra innings, you gotta face say, like the three or four five hitters every single time. I thought that was very interesting. I don't know if it's possible though. He also has things about instant replay Listen. He's saying that he likes as a player for them to get it right, but like, why do they have to go to the you know why I have to go over there under the hood. You know, why can't the umpires just like have have an earpiece in their ear?

Right now? I hear Donnie Burns in my ear all the time. It's called an I f B. Right, why can't the umpires have that? I think that's really interesting. Okay, he wants to get he wants to get away from pace of play as well. He wants to speed that up. He thinks the way to do it is have no mound visits whatsoever. You know, we talk about the you know, the planning, the preparation, the strategy, the scouting that goes into it. Maybe you don't need mound visits. He's all saying,

don't step out of the box. Okay. He wants to ban the defensive shift, okay, because the time it takes for moving people over, you know, and I think that's interesting. He also thinks, as we say here on the on the poll question, that it's time to have the d H in the National league. Listen, people of offense, that will give you more offense with the d H in

the National League. He's also would go much harder on P E D suspensions, you know, suspend them for a full year right out the gate, take their paychecks away. I think those a lot of those interesting ideas are interesting. I want to hear what you guys think on the poll question later on this week. I'm gonna give you my platform if I was commissioner, because I got some ideas about it too. All right, so checking on the polls. We'll check back in on that later on when we

come back. Though, me and the love Doctor Donnie Burns, we're gonna talk NBA and Big the E basketball, a lot of basketball to talk. I'm your boy, Dame Martinez Speeds, the spitting Statistician, and you're listening to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.

I'm your boy, Dame Martinez Speeds, the spitting statistician, holding you down, giving you what you need to win your league and win that cast, dropping stats over beats, a mom man, Donnie Burns, the basketball correspondent, and love Doctor. We're gonna get into some basketball a little bit later on, but first I'll have to give you some news and notes from around the NFL. First of all, and I gotta tell you, guys, you're at the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.

I can feel a palpable buzz and energy starting to build for football. You know, O t a is going on. We've got mini camps I think starting next week. But around here a lot of people are starting to talk football and the excitement is growing. You can feel it. So I gotta give you a couple of news and notes around the NFL. Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams rookie Mike Williams out of Clemson. He has a herniated disc in his back. They are unsure if he is going

to make it for the start of training camp. This really does hurt his value, especially in redraft leagues. He was gonna have to really ball out and compete to be on the same, you know, the same level as Keenan, Allen, Tyrolle, Williams. You know, even guys like Hunter Henry in terms of the past catchers on that roster. And like I said, this time of year, which you usually get or what I call the greatest shape of his life stories you want,

this is the anti greatest shape of his life. Also, back issues they linger for a while, so that gives me great pause when it comes to the rookie Mike Williams for the Los Angeles Chargers. Also, we talked about how Jeremy Macklin was released over the weekend by the Kansas City Chiefs in a cap you know, cap saving move. They lost ten million off the out there with MacLean salary. He visited the Bills today. He said, if he gets out of Buffalo, what a deal. To visit the Ravens

on Wednesday. It's very interesting. He's visiting the Bills today, He's visiting the Ravens tomorrow. If you listen to Fantasy Freestyle yesterday, you heard your boy Speed say the two teams I thought would be a good fit for him, where the Bills and the Ravens. And now we find out those are the exact two teams that he goes to. I don't know how many times I gotta tell you, guys,

before you start listening to your boys Speeds the spitting statistician. Also, Jamal Charles says he thinks he can quote unquote be the man in the Denver backfield, saying he wants to come in and compete things he has yet to still be cleared. And C. J. Anderson is back. I think Charles will wind up being kind of that pass catching back, that change of pace back, and that truly hurts the second year kid, Davante Booker in that backfield. And now big news coming out of New York today with the

j E. T S Jets, Jets. Jets. First they release um, you know, year veteran and Pro Bowler linebacker David Harris. So it makes me think, oh, looks like they're embracing you. Know, the kind of full rebuild, you know, this kind of let's get rid of all the veterans, started from the bottom, this kind of like Cleveland Brown strategy, it sounds like.

And then late breaking Jet. Over the last hour, we are getting reports from a number of places that are saying that the Jets are also either going to trade or release wide receiver Eric Decker. Okay Decker, who is a Pro Bowl caliber receiver, remember was hurt for a lot of last year, was not part of that locker room beef that was going on with other wide receivers

and the defensive lineman. It looks like the Jets are truly breaking it all down, as you know, species spitting statistician as a special place in his heart for the j E T S Jets, Jet Jets, and I have been saying that I that's what I want them to do. I think they're gonna break it down all together and truly hashtag suck for Sam And what I mean by that is Sam Donald, the quarter back out of U. S C. Who I believe will be the number one

overall picking next year's draft. And it looks like the Jets are trying to position themselves for them to be in the running for that. It makes me wonder, though, if you're a team like the Browns, like the Niners, like the Bills, like the Ravens, and you're inquiring, would you rather have Eric Decker or Jeremy Macklin. That sounds

like a possible poll question for the show tomorrow. But I gotta tell you, And like, let's say, for example, you're a team who used to love the San Diego Chargers, and now that they're moving to l A, you're like disown them and you're looking for another team. Let's just say, do not do not look for the New York Jets. This is probably the worst roster and football and they're building it truly from the ground up. Over, let's keep it moving here in the cipher on the fantasy free stuff.

I got my boy Donnie Burns with me on the ones and twos. As you know, he is so hot that he sweats steam. Listen a little bit of a downtime here in the NBA Finals Game Game three back in Cleveland tomorrow night. Will break it all down tomorrow, don Burns. But don I have two kind of areas I want to go real quick with with you. First of all. I don't know if you heard this, but there are multiple reports that there was a quote unquote small smell of marijuana coming out of the Cleveland Cavaliers

locker room after Game two. I have so many questions about this. Brian Winhurst reported it, a few other people have reported it. Also. Remember we talked yesterday. Lebron did not go to the podium. He entertained laa uh, you know, reporters in the locker room and was a little salty, was a little chippy. M I wonder, But then again, also they were in California. They were in a state where I guess if that's what they want to do, you know, like it's legal for them to do so.

A lot of the reports are also saying that when you get to the NBA Finals, the press, you know, size the crew is like almost triples in size. And some people say that they were quote unquote questionable media dudes in the Cleveland locker room as well. So, Donnie, I ask you, Okay, first of all, it's legal in California. I guess what do you think is going on in the locker room. You think they were just in so much pain after Game two or they needed to chill

out and forget it. What do you think is going on in there? And is this a story? I don't really think it's a story. I mean, there's no way that you know, a lebron led team would be you know, yeah, And I'm you know, it's kind of unfair because you know, but if they did, it would be legal. Yeah. But in the same light, I feel like, you know, a lot of people are gonna blame one specific person for this and you know who we're thinking of, Yeah, because

of his you know, his party. Does he have initials? He does? Okay? Okay? Is that a guy who also I think had like a minus fourteen and went like two for ten and okay, So you know, I think it's kind of unfair. I don't think that that would be a thing. But listen, here the thing. Here's the thing. And I bring this up also because the other topic I wanted to get at with you, Donnie, when it

comes to the NBA. The NBA has long since been a league where there have been conspiracy theories, right, long since been a league ever since you go back to my man Patrick youing and the like frozen envelope when he was you know, when they were doing the draft lottery for the Knicks to wind up with him. But um, here's what I'm wondering, because we have waited for this NBA Finals for a whole year, right, and as we know, the Golden State Warriors have looked dominant in Games one

and two. Now I know, and I'm not getting on you don because of your calves in six or nothing like that. What I'm saying is like, do you think that's something mysterious will happen in Game three? Do you think the foul calls will be tremendously imbalanced? Do you think someone will be get a quick hook a Draymond Green for example? Do you think there just might happen to be a weird thing that happens which he helps the calves keep making this a series, keep eyeballs on

the set. No, I don't really think that that's I wouldn't say it's not possible. But you know, there's so many eyes on the NBA Finals now, and my big thing on this and the main reason why I don't think this is true is we might see this, you know, matchup in the next few years, like two or three years. You know, there's not much you can hide and maybe during the regular season to get to this point, but not now. It's it's too hard to do that now,

all right. You know that's what people would have said a lot of other times too when things happen in the NBA, that a lot of people are, you know, conspiracy theory. That's what I'm saying. You know, there's a lot of eyes because of what's happened in the past. Fair Enough, fair enough, fair enough. I want to keep it moving here in the cipher. And don't get a twist that Don Burns and I were gonna be breaking down everything you need to see for Game three tomorrow,

right ahead of Game three in Cleveland. We'll see if the Calves you know, led by Rihanna and Lebron James, can get back into that series. But what I want to get into real quick is, um you know we had that hashtag free Ennis before when this cancer was detained in a Romanian airport and came out. You know, his political leanings will check this out. Enis Cantor's father was arrested over the weekend. Okay, and Enis Cancer put out a statement saying that he woke up to the

news of his father being arrested by this Turkish government. Um. And then you know, he gives out this whole thing UM trying to explain the story and says, you know, if something like this could happen to him, an NBA player who was you know, by all accounts famous, he says, just you know, just wonder what is happening to you know, kind of the regular season, the regular citizens who are kind of aligning with the Ghoulin and kind of talking

out against um, you know, the Turkish government. And you know, earlier we heard that enis cancer actually was like disowned from his family, and I'm now thinking that that was actually like kind of a move of self preservation, you know, because maybe the family just had to make it sound like they were against this movement for their own safety and well being. And you know, we think about this. I joked about how we live in authoritarian times and

Enus was detained in the Romanian airport. But like, I'm not gonna go too deep into this, but like it's starting to not be funny anymore, guys. UM, So you know, I'm I'm gonna leave it right there. But this is just one more example. The other quick NBA thing I wanted to get into before we go to break and I know we're gonna go to break, um, and then you know, we're gonna give you that fun and functional sports radio. We're gonna give you our Big Three power rankings,

all sorts of good stuff. But UM sad to say that Chris Bosch, the NBA actually ruled that his blood clots um, that is a quote unquote career ending injury. There was a case back and forth Botch like continue to want to play, play through it. He said he would sign a waiver, he would do whatever he can.

But with this being deemed a quote unquote career ending injury, what that means now is that the Miami he can wave bosh and he will still get ready for this fifty three million dollars over the next two years, even if insurance kind of covers it. Um now now done. I understand as an athlete, you always wanting to play, but there's gotta be a line, right And like, if you were this guy's like you know, family, wouldn't you want him to pretty much hang him up? Yeah? I

mean and listen, you want players like that. But that in that sense, that's almost kind of like stupidity. I mean, you can't die. You know, I don't have much experience with that kind of injury, but that one sounds pretty serious. Blood clot to serious things. That's serious business. So if he doesn't come back on an NBA floor here at the Fantasy Freestyle, we tip our cap to Chris Bosh. I do believe he is a borderline Hall of Famer.

But when we come back, Donnie Burns and I, we're gonna give you our power rankings for the Big three three on three leagues. See what team we think is prime to win it all. Were also, you know, we got some other good stuff to talk about. Put the fun and Functional Sports Radio. We'll check in on the poll questions, all that and more when we come back. Dane Martinez feeds and spitting statistician here on the Fantasy

Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyles, your boy, Dane Martinez, holding you down on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. As always, want to give a shout out to our sports Byline affiliates around the country and with the American Forces Radio Network on bases around the world.

Holler at me, ask me questions,

follow me at Spitting Speeds on Twitter as well. The question we had up right now is if you were a Major League Baseball commissioner for a year, what you know, what kind of changes would you look to make? Right now? Thirty seven percent of you say changes with the pace of play, whether that's Mountain is hits or something like that. Um percent of you say it's time to change the d H in the National League, like Gary Sheffield wants to do, or changes to the wild card format. Um,

Gary Sheffield. Letting get to Gary Sheffield loves the wild card and thinks that the wild cards should actually be a best of three series because you know, you're grinding all season and then all of a sudden you face, like, you know, the the opposing team who has like the Cy Young Award winner on the other side, and that's uh, you know, he loves this wild card, so he want to see even more of it, say changing the instant

replay rules. Um, and you know kind of how they do that maybe along side with this, you know, pace of play stuff. And only eight percent say the extra inning rules. However, we did get some write in votes, so shout out to my man Anthony Rosa, the Anthony Rosa on Twitter. He actually says that what needs to change is that the All Star Game should no longer decide home field. Um. And you know, okay, remember we are now about what ten fifteen years removed from that

tie in Milwaukee. Maybe it should happen. Um. So shout out to Anthony Rosa for another idea a little bit later on this week. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna give you my actual platform on changes that should happen in Major League Baseball. But right now, major League Baseball is the way it is.

Download the Fantasy Sports Radio Network app Okay, this way, it could be me. It could be the Fantasy executive Corey Parson, it could be the King Scott Angle. It could be my guys from Fantasy Black Book that are coming up next, Joe Pizza Pizza and Maddie Mo. They're

gonna hold you down. Also, everybody giving you diverse perspectives. Then you take it all in, you put it all together, and you start to dominate your league. That's what you need to do, because we're here talking everything from fantasy baseball to fantasy golf to fantasy movies. It does not matter. We have got you covered like those masks that they wear because they were afraid of the stars, virus and

asia back in the day. We've got you covered just like that, all right, Donnie Burns, don't It's time for us to put the fun in functional sports radio. And you know, nowhere else are people covering the Big Three like right here on the Fantasy Freestyle. So we gave you our fantasy rankings for the guards in the Big Three league. I believe we wound up having Chauncey Billups and White Chocolate and Alan Iverson as our top guards in that league. Then we previewed the bigs in this league.

We both kind of agreed that Corey mcgetty is, you know, a viable candidate to be the m v P of this league. We talked about other big men like Al Harrington, Kenyan Martin, Jermaine O'Neill, and as you know, Donnie Burns. When it comes to big men, one guy that I think you cannot leave out and the guy that I think is going to be leading that league and rebounding

is my Man former number one overall pick. I don't know if I should call him my man or not, but we're talking about Kuam Brown, who I think it's going to you know, change the narrative about his legacy. But I digress. So today, what we're gonna do is we're gonna break down what teams do we think are actually gonna win this league? Okay, so Donnie Burns, we did this and we were kind of the same page

in terms of our top you know three or four teams. Right, we think that bringing up the bottom is gonna be the ball Hogs. Uh coach by Rick Berry. This is a team where they're best player. Their captain is Brian Scalabrini and I think, you know, most teams can do better than that. Dr J. Dr J is the coach of Try State, and they got some talent, the Germaine, O'Neil, the Bondsi Wells, you know. But Dr J himself ain't getting out there, so we both have him pretty low

as well. We got the ghost Ballers in the sixth spot, uh, coach by George Gurvan. This team probably knows how to finger roll, including Mike Bibbie and Ricky Davis um. And then here's where we get to the interesting part. Here's where we get to the interesting part because if you think about one player in this league that's out in front, it's probably Alan Ierson, It's probably Allen Iverson. Allen Iverson

is the captain and player coach of Three's Company. But we only have Three's Company in the five spot of our power rankings, don right, So we think that even though he's got that star power of Alan Iverson, there's a couple of teams that we think will actually fair pretty uh you know, fair better. Right. Yeah, you know, I think a lot of people are not gonna be upset, but you know, I don't think Alan Iverson is gonna play how people. You know, they see the name there

for the star power. You know, he was one of the best, if not the best, pound for pound NBA players. He's old now, man, and he wasn't even that good going out, so you know, people might be a little upset of you know, how he's gonna play. But you know, some of these three teams that we're gonna talk about, I like a lot of their star power now, even though they're a little older. I like them now. All right,

So let's get into that. First of all, Done Burns throwing shade at Alan Iverson, one of my favorite Iverson bro Subscribe subscribe, okay, this way, this way you get it to your phone every day to hear if Donnie Burns continues to throw shade and anybody, if you subscribe, you said it and forget it, just like any good fantasy team. Okay, you said it, you forget it, and

we give you what you need. And Alan Iverson, if you subscribe, write a review, write a view on iTunes or something like that, and this way we'll know what you think about Donnie Burns, throw and shade your way In the fourth spot, though, Donnie, we have the team that is coached by Rick Mahorne. They are gonna be able to bang this team. First of all, Rick Mahorne is the coach. They have Kenyan Martin and Al Harrington as their captains. They had the number one overall pick

and they took Rashad McCanns. We like the Trilogy to do some work hand. Yeah, So here's my thing with the Trilogy. I like them. So my top two teams are the Three Headed Monsters and Power. And if there's gonna be one team that could take the championship, it would be Trilogy. I do like Al Harrington. I don't know if you can still score the way he did, but you know, Al Harrington is one of my favorite players other than Corey mcgetty in this whole Big three rosters.

So I do like to see Trilogy do a little bit of work, no doubt, no doubt. Then in the three spot, we have the Three Headed Monsters. Okay, this white Chocolate Rashad Lewis who's gonna be able to shoot that four point shot that they have in the Big Three. And listen this team, Donnie. This team went all all guards with the exception of Kwambe Brown. They're gonna have Rashard Lewis, White Chocolate, mock mood Abdul Rawolf coming back to play. And this this team coached by Gary Payton.

Their reserve is Hockey Warwick. I went to que so I gotta give a little love to Hockey Warwick as well as their reserve Kwambe Brown work in the middle. What how do you what? What style of play? Do you think this team is gonna wind up? Happened? I mean they got white Chocolate point one word for this team, buckets? You think so, dude. I've been telling you since we started. I've been watching you could this is the highest scoring team in the league. Yeah, it could be, right. Yeah.

I don't like Kwamy Brown. I know that's your guy. You don't like m Brown. They're gonna get buckets this team. The only thing is, I don't think they have enough to win the championship. Like you said, they're a little guard heavy, with the exception of Kwam Brown, right, they are guard heavy. That's why I think Brown is gonna lead this league and rebounding bro I looked at the rosters, okay,

but anyway, I digress. We go to the number two team in our power rankings and fittingly only named it is the Power Coach by Clyde Drexler, like Clyde to Glide. You know, he's got the big the junkyard dog, Jerome Williams down low. They're gonna have a back. They're gonna have Corey mcgetty, Coatino Mobley. You like this team, this is your team? Yeah, this is uh they have all the necessary elements. Yeah, dude, Katino Mobley. Like I mentioned before,

he reminds me of like Jamal Carford. Now he's gonna get whatever shot he wants. And Corey mcgetty has a size. I know, I think we had him. Was he a bigger? We had him as the number one big in this leaguel. Yeah, so he's got the he's got good size from championship Pedigree team. Deshaun Stephenson is a taller to guard. Um. So I don't see anyone beating this team. I think the Three Headed Monsters could score with them. But I really like Power to all right, Well, there's one team.

There's one team that is left. There is one team that is left, and it is the team that I think can score with the Three Headed Monsters, and we will, you know, actually win this whole thing will win this whole thing. Okay. First of all, to kill are Threes man, the Killer Threes, Chauncey Billups, Steven Jackson, Larry Hughes talk

about guys who can get buckets. These are guys that are ready to ball and and and I gotta tell you, remember Donnie, when we had my boys Kenton and Jason on and my boy Can was wearing the arm with Oakley shirt. Yep. All right. The Killer Threes are coached by Charles Oakley. Okay, and so I'm also with Oakley. I am with the Killer Threes. Big shout out to my boy Kennon for joining the show. Um, I'm with the Killer Threes. I think the Killer Threes are gonna

take it down. I like the power as well. Is there a time for us to make another another one? Yeah? This one I like. You're on the power. Yeah. But here's the thing. I do like the kill I'm taking power obviously, But here's why I do like the Killer Threes. You know, I love Chauncey Billups growing up. I loved watching him. And you know, Chauncey and Steven Jackson are extremely relevant in like the sports Rold now in the basketball world. Chauncey was a finalist for like the Atlanta

Hawks front office job. They're extremely relevant in the NBA now, you know, not to take away from anyone else you know, watching, but I mean they're they're you know, they're critiquing their analysts. They do a really good job, by the way. I love watching them. Um, so they're basketball. I Q is still up there. Mannis always had that great i Q. So that'd be a good match. Yeah, Mr big Shot, we'll see if he has a chance to make some

four point big shots in this league. Remember, guys, if you don't know yet, the Big Three will tip off officially in a couple of weeks on June Sunday, June at the Barclays here in Brooklyn. Those games will be airing the following night, Monday Night Basketball on FS one.

I think that's a great opportunity and a very smart idea by ice Cube and the crew that have decided to you know, air this and really get a share of what is a down part of the sports calendar where you got baseball and pretty much nothing else after this NBA Finals. And you know, if you listen to Don Burns, the Calves are still gonna come back. I think this NBA Finals is gonna be done, you know, pretty much by next week, so um after that and

until football season really gets popping. You know, there's a certain sector right there of the population that is definitely gonna be focused on the Big Three. If you're not a baseball fan, then the Big Three is going to be for you. But like I have said, the football and the fantasy football energy is starting to build in legitimate fashion. It truly is. Okay, we're right. We're here at Rock and Riley's studio thirty four in Midtown Manhattan. I'm talking to the guys, you know, and we're all

talking football. Okay. The NBA Playoffs are going on, the NBA Finals are going on, The Stanley Cup Finals are tied to two. We're gonna have a long series there. Meanwhile, I'm you know, before the show, I got my man, Memo, Deco, who's about to come on the Fantasy Black Book next

hour here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. And what are we talking We're talking like deep sleeper wide receivers, right, We're talking about We're telling war stories about who we started, who we benched, and why that was a bad decision last week. Let me tell you something, Fantasy football continues to be king and we are going to cover it all for you in this upcoming season. You know, your boy Dame Martinez Speeds, the spitting statistician, is going to

be breaking down every game that happened. We're gonna start in a couple of weeks with our team by team previews the same way that I did. Uh, you know, a speed spotlight on every Major League Baseball team. And by the way, that's when I picked the Houston Astros to win the a L. That's when I picked the Washington Nationals to win the NL. That's when I said

the over under that I was most excited about. That was, you know, non reported was that I liked the Colorado Rockies over So maybe you need to listen when I start doing my team by team previews and I start giving you some over unders. Okay, let me tell you right now, the Bears at five and a half and the Pats at twelve and a half, I think they're win totals are gonna be more extreme than that, but uh, we'll come on back. Tie a nice neat little bow.

On this episode of the Fantasy Freestyle. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle. Here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, tied a nice neat Little Bow on a Tuesday editional my man Donnie burns so hot that we sweat steam up. Next on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network is the Fantasy Back Black Book, with Joe Pisapia and Maddie Modica holding it down. Let's go around the league real quick. One one in the third inning, Red Sox and Yankees. Pirates

are up three run on the Orioles. In the top of the third inning, Seth Smith with his sixth home run of the year for Baltimore. The Reds are up on the Cardinals one nothing in the third inning, Angels one nothing over the Tigers. That run was a cold Calhoun home run, his ninth of the season. White Sox and Rays are tied at one in the bottom of the second We got also the Braves up one nothing on the Phillies in the second inning, and the Giants

and Brewers are square or lists after one. We also, like I said, we had that poll question up and thanks again to UH to the people who responded with kind of like write in votes. Anthony Rosa saying that the All Star Game should decide home should not decide home field advantage anymore. Right now, of you say pace of play changes, say it's instant replay or the d H or wild card. And here's the thing, later on this week, I have a platform myself. I have ways

that I think can speed up the game. We are in the twenty one century. I don't know why we are not taking advantage of technology. We're taking advantage of it on things like understanding exit velocity and launch angle. Why are we not taking advantage of it when it comes to pace of play? And we also have some things that used to happen back in the eighties that for some reason I've gone away that I think can definitely hit help pace of play as well. Tune in

for that a little bit later on this week. In the journalism business, we call that e T s okay. But coming up next, like I'm mention, is the Fantasy Black Book. Here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, they're gonna be holding you down, probably about baseball. But I wouldn't be surprised if the name's Jeremy Macklin and Eric Decker get named as well. You know, Jeremy Macklin maybe a loser in all of this because now there's a market out there. Uh so, you know they're gonna be

able to play one against the other. Maybe Macklin needs to sign in Buffalo with his boy Shady McCoy Right now, let me tell you something. Joe Cina Anderson on Twitter is saying Jets players do not know about this Decker news yet are reacting in a very surprised way. Oh boy, just end the season. J E. T s from me boy. Dane Martinez will be back tomorrow here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio network
