Nightcap Hour 2: Isiah Thomas BACK to BEING MESSY about Michael Jordan + Wembanyama CAMPAIGNS for NBA MVP + Knicks LOSE 7 GAME WINNING STREAK + CONCERNED Boyfriend SEARCHES for his GIRL + Sweden Makes SEX a SPORT?!

Isaiah Thomas floated the wild hypothetical about what would have happened if Kevin Durant not Jordan, had been steering the ships for those iconic nineteen nineties Chicago Bulls teams. I said, Kevin Durant, if you would have played back in our era, you would have put it in the triple post in the mid post era, and they would have took Michael Jordan out. You would have played Pippot, You would have played with Cuckoake. We would have had he would have

Hey, I have a question, Joe, And before you even answered, Joe, Hey, can can can? Can somebody please explain to me what's the issue with Isaiah Thomason. Why he's already jabbing at Jordan and Jordan never respond but every few months respond yours come back at Jordan with.

With some I think uh Isaiah Thomas probably one of the only Cats who got a winning record against Michael Jordan's Okay, oh Joe.

It goes back to the yeah, him not being on It's the dream Team. Isaiah Thomas should have been on the Dream Team, no matter what you think. And it was a great team. As symbol, John Stockton was not better than Isaiah Thomas. Isaiah Thomas was a two time champion at the time of the selection. Isaiah Thomas was a two time champion and a finals MVP. That's and and guess what. He beat Magic and Magic's era. He beat Bird and Bird era. He they ended. He ended

He did.

He beat Dennis Johnson, Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parrish, Isaiah and the Pistons did that.

He did.

He had earned the right to be on the ninety two Dream Team. But but when he walked off the court after Jordan them finally beat them in ninety one, and he didn't shake Jordan's hand. Now, mind you, if you go back and look, go back and look, you know where he Isaiah Them got that from Boston.

The Celtics walked out the court and didn't share the Piston's hand.

Go back and look it up, and nobody said, or more for word, right, go back and look it up.

I'm old enough to remember.

Hey, hey, how many years has it been?

Ninety two dream teams? So you look at up about thirty four years? Thirty four years?

Hey, Joe, maybe I'm tripping.

I don't know.

At some point do we not get over that?

And because Isaiah said I missed that two times, I was supposed to be on the eighty team.

Guess what.

They boycotted Soviet because the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. So in nineteen eighty America didn't send anybody to my scow. So ninety four eighty four, Jordan was a eighty four. He was already in the league, so he couldn't play. You gotta realize Jordan got drafted and still got played because he hadn't played a professional game yet. So Jordan played in the eighty four Olympics after already getting drafted. Yeah, so now he said, this is my one last final

He looks at it like this man kept me off the Dream Team. I start that was not better than Isaiah. I don't care what y'all say. I get it. He played one hundred years.

He's the all time assist leader, he's the all time steals leader. He wasn't better than I agree with you on that, but I still don't think that Jordan went to the USA Commission or whatever and was like, man, look the only way I play.

Is if Isaiah Thomas is not playing. I don't think he did that.

I think due to the Pistons not shaking the bulls hand. Obviously they came right after that, right that was that something right right after that?

Right? Yes? I think everybody.

I think everybody who was over like USA, I think they kind of seen and kind of just put it together. I think when they came to get Jordan's well wishes to be able to play on the USA team, I think they may have brought it to him before he ever even said something about it.

Well, their reports out there.

I don't know if it's true, but I think Sam Smith wrote it in his book. That's what we're reported, said he had played, but you know who couldn't. So I don't know if that's true. I wasn't there.

I just what is what is true? What isn't true?

Isaiah believed that to be care And you know, sometimes perception is reality.

Guys. It might not be true, but your perception, that's your reality, you know. You know.

What makes it even worse is the fact that respond Jordan doesn't say anything. He doesn't talk about the issues. And I mean so that that makes it even worse at least everybody pondering on what really did happen or what really? I mean, it's crazy that Jordan has said nothing. I think at some point I'm not sure when he's gonna.

Sit down the man over that running NASCAR cards. He ain't standing out talking about even if he didn't have nothing going on. That ain't Jordania talking. He ain't never goes. He ain't gonna never talk about.

That, you know how Jordaniels, he just never again.

That's it.

Huh, that's it. He ain't going. He ain't going to go back and forth and get into the media. Bro.

Do you know how much NBC probably had to pay that man just to get sit down and do those two three interviews that he did with Glenday. It's estimated three interviews. O Joe, Dang, that's what it's estimate. I don't know that, but that's what people threw out there. But I tell you what, it wasn't cheap.

No, of course he don't.

He don't talk.

He don't care to talk. Yeah, he talked at an obligation. If you go back and look at it. When he normally talked, he talked to Amar that was this guy on the NBC when NBC had the rights. He normally sit down and talked to the mad Yeah, he would go to the podium that you know, he understood that,

The NBA Finals. Yeah, Ahma was his boy.

Yes, yes, well, hell that means Jordan was probably one of the first players who had that kind of power the way the way the players have have power today. He had They got damn power. Probably the only one had that kind of.

Power, maybe in the media, but he didn't have it on his own team. Could Jerry Cross controlled everything?

Well, you just said the reason that Isaiah wasn't able to play because Jordan's probably they.

Knew they needed one guy.

Yeah, it was great because you wanted you needed that one guy, right, Yeah, you needed the logo, Yes, sir, that's yeah. It would been great that you could have had all those other guys, but you needed that one big joker.

That was it. Yes, sir, started the league bro.

Because you gotta understand, coming off his second NBA championship, Yeah, he's already what I think, a two time three time MVP.

Yeah, Defensive Player of the Year. He was the biggest thing.

He was the biggest thing going and if you want to, if you want to go globally.

Got to get the biggest start with.

You got Okay four years later though, uh, I ain't gonna let it go.

If you know, Isaiah ain't letting it go. He's not.

Jordan's not gonna respond how bad I say. I say now trying to see let it go ze like.

You say no, because and the thing is, I could see if there was something that could be done, nothing, if we could ran down in the hands of time guys and we go back and put out there.

But it ain't nothing be done. It's nothing. Mmm.

I mean, I mean imagine if I mean, I don't know what the crown and achievement would have been like, but to just to.

Know that you deserved you, You've earned the right to be there, right, So what does he want to apology? That's what he's there? I said, I said, Isaiah, I said, ain't gonna get ain't coming.

Hey, Joe, Hey, Joe, ain't no scenario you can see.

But what Jordan's coming out in the post absolutely not hell.

I mean, you saw even pimps kind of taking some shots at Jordan.

Man. Look here Jordan in his own little.

No.

I don't think he gonna. I didn't know. I didn't know that. I thought they were close.

But from what I've been, what I've deduced and what I've heard, is that they weren't really never close.

Yeah, from listening to Pipping, they yeah, that he would make you think that, But now I just I don't know.

I mean Jordan, Jordan was always giving him credit like I couldn't. I could not have done or what I did without him. You know, He's always given him his credit.

Man, ain't listen, oh Joe, If y'all noticed, it ain't really to me. Any guys that MJ played with on their Bulls team, they really give him props, Bro, They really talk highly of him, like they all kind of take little jabs at him, you know, saying and that he was a tough guy to play with. He was a tough teammate, and he probably was all of that. But the man he had the fire and desire Bro to come out and compete night in and night out and put forth his best foot like he commanded. They

That's why it's hard for great players to be bro.

Because what you're thinking in your head, you're trying to convey it to another guy and hopefully he can see it the way you see it, and it just happened like that.

They don't see it that way.

No, That's why most of your great coaches are average players. Look at Coach Belichick, look at the look at the really great coaches. Steve Kerr got for Steve was not a I mean he was He was a role player, did his job well.

Look at Phil Jackson.

Yeah, when you try to get I mean I think if uh you see uh h Bill Russell, he won. He was a players coach. Uh Casey Jones going to the Tom Heinson. Tom Heyson was damn great player. People don't realize how great Tom Hyson was. Coach Milwaukee Lenny Wilkins. But for the most part, I mean, especially to modern modern players, because back then, guys, guys listen.

You guys made too much money. Now day, hell they ain't. These guys listen, they talking back, and they yeah, that's but but I've said this, O Joe. But I've had a conversation with me.

Like I said, I had him on the pod many many years ago, and I've been I've been places where he was and had a conversation.

He ain't letting it go.

I'm just saying, so if you if you expect him to let it go, he's not gonna let it go. And Jordan ain't gonna respond.

Well, he had talking to himself at this point.

Is is?

Wimby gave a three part MVP campaign speech this week, said my first one would be defense. It's fifty percent of the game and it's undervalue so far in the

You are.

Second argument would be that we almost swept KC this season, and we dominated them three times with their real team. The third argument would be that offense impact is just not points. Joe, do you agree with what Wimby said and and his reason for his why he should be named?

He has some points. He has some points, Okay, oh, Joe.

I agree with him with the defense, as you know, fifty percent of the game, and obviously nobody can match what he does defensively. I think the next step for him is to continue to evolve offensively. I don't know what he's averaging right now, O Joe, but it's probably what about think about two twenty three game. I think

Las? Come on, did I see it? Twenty three twenty one to nineteen?

Like nineteen nineteen he had nineteen or six, twenty one rebounds, twenty three points.

Hey, hey, Joe, he'd be out there. Hey, you'd think you playing god Damn two K man with the numbers he putting up.

Oh yeah, and san Antonio's two ber games back from the one seed.

They two games back.

I think he got he got a he got a great ARGUMENTO.

But he ain't gonna win it this year. He ain't gonna win MVP this year.

I thought SJ was gonna win.

I think I think so too.

But I think the player that probably did that has earned it the most based on value is Jaylen Brown. Yeah, that had Boston Celtics as the number two seed without Jason Tatum trading for singles, getting rid of trading, holiday Al Horford, leaper who had them in the spot.

Nobody, nobody, you you're right? Huh, you're right. Jayden Brown has a definitely compelling argument.

He's averaging twenty I think twenty eight, six and five. He's played out of his damn mind.

I just, I just I know they gonna give it to Shade considering that they're the number one team in the NBA.

Still they have the best record, and what if they.

Don't have the best record, what if san Antonio overtakes them?

With what what we got about? Eight by nine games left? Think we got tend to twelve. I just don't see them lose. I don't see them dropping two two in a row or two games. I can't see san Antonio catching now do they because they don't play them no more. No, they beat them three out of four, So I don't see. I don't see. I mean, he ain't the leading scorer in the NBA, but he's probably second.

How many games they got left? Eleven but they got yeah nine nine nine yep.

Oh yeah, it's gonna be very very interesting back to back. I mean, I hate that that that cade cad got hurt. It's gonna miss that sixty five game cut off.

Hold on, I thought I thought I thought he commsced like uh like five or six games.

He gotta hear. He gotta come back.

But do you rushing back and probably and potentially sett him back?

Hey yeah, put some pad on that uh on that rib cage or something. H we trying to get Hey hey, we were trying to sign hey next country, were trying to sign for the three forty man.

He just signed. He just signed. He good, yeah, he good.

Now see that's you gotta look at it from a standpoint. You got your appetizer, then you got your entree. Then you wanna come back for a little dessert you tomorrow.

Yeah, oh four, you try to hit him cross the head twice and many times.

You can.

Shit boy, getting the boy getting to that money?

Boy, man, what you're talking about?

That man gonna sign another contract for three hundred He just signed for two ninety something.

Yeah. Yeah.

The Knicks just lost their seven game winning streak, and Mitchell Robinson is not happy. Following the disappointed performance, Robinson took the Instagram to voice his frustration, saying, don't even matter unless we change our approach, we ain't doing ish special. Keep that bullet jive up.

Myself included Hey, look Joe, what he said, Michel Robinson. He may be feeling the way he played twenty six minutes, four point six rebounds, but man, get Charlie Crittit. Okayo them boys. No Charlotte bean balling man, they didn't shoot the light ball. Let him tell you something. Let me tell you something. Charlotte is a scary team right now. They are playing great. I watched a lot of this game to night. I love Canipple, the way he plays.

They made they make twenty six threes the other night they they damned make fifteen to twenty.

Or you're talking about they shoot the three ball. I'm talking about they shooting the left off that thing. You hear me, Yeah, I'm talking about I'm talking about I'm talking about.

Man.

Hey, look I was so press watching them the night, just the threes that Knipple were taking. He was six for ten from the three, but he was taking some deep threes. Ocho and LaMelo out there just playing quarterback. Just find the guys, man that Joe Joe.

I ain't never seen nobody shoot that many one legs step back threes and.

He got he got the most unorthodox game in the NBA.

I'm talking about.

It's unauthoredo when I watch him play him like, how is this stuff even going in? But they they look good, bro, They look like they postseason ready.

They ready to get somebody some trouble. I think they will.

I think they're gonna get what do they They look like they're gona probably be in the playing you think so, Yeah, yeah, they they're gonna.

Probably be in the player. They might.

They might surpriss somebody to now I guess.

I guess for Mitchell Robinson, Okay, I think it's the defensive end that he's talking about. You know, they giving up a lot of points and uh, you know, if you want to compete in this league, especially in the NBA, man, you gotta be able to guard. But I'm gonna tell y'all something, Charlotte they not playing, bro. They they hard to guard. They got a lot of guys that can go off the bounce, create plays, score that ball.

I'm talking about. Man.

Their fun team to watch now. You know they used to be a door mat. You know you going to Charlotte oo.

Oh yeah yeah as a win.

Yeah, we can go hang out the night we got we got Charlotte tomorrow.

We're gonna be good. We're gonna run these boys in the ground. Man, please, you better have your track shoes on. Hey, and you look at the guys they got. They got four, they got four guys that can shoot the three ball. And then they got Kobe White. They picked up from Chicago coming up. I'm talking about. I'm talking about he ain't nothing to be playing with.

Okay, you no, man, I saw him get a forty a forty ball to the Lakers last year.

That hey, that's that was probably the biggest pickup that they had to Kobe White. Kobe White like he I don't know if it's because he's back in North Carolina, because you know he played it he played at U n C. But boy, look, he showed comfortable in that Horner's uniform.

I tell you that. Yep, Joe, who you got for Rookie of the Year. Cooper Flag I.

Like Carnipple, Bro. I think flag his points. I think Cooper Flag got. I think his points are better because you know they force feed him. Okay, oh Joe, but car Nipple, if you watch him play, nothing's forced. Everything looks like it comes to him easy. He takes shots within the offense like he just out there hoop him.

Bro.

I like Carnipple, man, I like, I ain't gonna like see y'all like too.

Hell, he look like he might have three hundred threes this year. How many threes? He's a mad because he's already got the rookie record.

Man, I don't know how many he'd have made, but I'm talking about he looked good boy.

I'm talking about Joe. He gotta be like two sixty two easy. Easy. Man had twenty six points and so he had two fifty six two.

I'm talking about it's quick too. He get that thing off quick. Who you got? Who you got for Rookie of the Year? You going? I think I think they won't. I think they won't plag No, they won't flag. But why not do a but listen to this, Oh Joe, why not do.

Co what you give? Give them cold like you did Grant.

He'll two ex teammates from Duke. You know, get do just do cold again, dude, Duke Duke Cole Rookie of the Year because Canipple he makes he's definitely worthy of it.

Oh yeah, for sure. And he got a better and they got a better record than that. They're gonna be in the player. They could possibly make the playoffs. Yeah, they already to play.

Yeah, I agree, they got nine games to go and what they are now and.

He has two hundred and fifty the nine games left and he has too, he has two hundred and fifty three made threes.

And where they are they in like the ten spot, ninth spot, then the eighth the time right? Yeah? Yeah, man, they get Duke Cold Rookie of the Year. You know it.

I'm sure Tom do a good friends. They enjoy it. They enjoy it, uh Joe.

They two games back up from the fifth seed, so they can they can make the playoffs. Forget play in they could be in the playoffs.

They're playing good bro, I'm talking about They fun to watch now, like usually don't. I don't even tune in to watch the Hornets. But what mister Robinson doing?

What do you do? Man?

This man got a toenail in his hand, talk about i'mnna keep it. Anybody want to sign toenail? Y'all had a toenail come out?

Yeah?

Yeah, the big the big toe from stopping the start.

You play, if you play any sports boy, you have a toenail?

A younger Joe.

No responsibility, you mean I ain't got to deal with on Yeah, I ain't got to deal with the nagging.

Nah back, once upon a time, Once upon a time. Guy, you got to talk about that a lot.

Me.

I'm talking about situations when I was in my twenties. Now, when I was twenty, I threw cost into the win. I ain't messed with nobody that was married. If you told me you was married, I'm good because I want to.

I don't want to. I don't because I know, I know, I know how, I know how married. I know how.

If I was married and and somebody came up in the I deemed that disrespectful. So if I came up in there, all best. But yeah, alright, so I ain't gonna mess with nobody married. Now, just be up front, you see it. Let me make a decision. Let me make a decision. Let me say, okay, I want to deal with this situation or I don't. But don't get me. And then all of a sudden, you you're that knock at the door. No, I go to the bathroom. I go to the bathroom. You know, I peeped round the

Up to me. You know, I be like na man, you know I wouldn't do no mess like that. Bro, we just we your free years. How long you been knowing them? Man?

I ain't probably like seven inches ago?

Seven years? Seven years? Come on?

Come on, come on, come on, come on. I'm sorry. Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Seven years, seven years, seven years. Bro, sim hey better, I'm going to here. I got the Hello, I'm go ahead, I'm sorry I met seven years ago.

Hey, we're gonna laugh now because we've been able to experience it.

The sum is not gonna be fun, but when you live long enough, you get in.

Yes, you get it. Everybody everybody got God.

If I don't care, I don't care who you are. The sad thing is is that the player talking about he ain't never been got because he's not even enough to believe that he happened.

He just don't know it.

Sometime you to get him. Sometime you're the one who get gotten.

Happens every time, Joe.

Hey, sometimes you catch the touchdown on top of the guy head.

Sometimes you get an innocend. Hey, the game is the game.

H better be start with your joking, y'all. See y'all. Jack's Outen Sweden had made headlines with an official declaration

Yeah, I like that.

I like that a lot because there's that there's so many different ways it can happen. There's so many different ways it can be done. Yeah, me, it can be a sport because it's a skill set. When it comes to a sport, there are different sets in that skill sport, and you know, different the different skill sets in the sport that specifies who makes work. Why why does uh Jason Tatum, you know, get a three three hundred dollars jail? Why does the six man come off the bench not get as much skill set?

What they can't do?

You know, anything happens in the sport that they talk about.

Now, that's going to be very interesting.

Yeah, yeah, I love it too. This is right up my alley.

This is right what you mean what do you mean right up? You participate? You're partaking this?

No, I wouldn't partake. I won't partake it. I'm just saying it with great understanding in that area, that's my area.

In your twenties, you would, Yeah, twenty four second clock go off.

I'm gone, iver, I tell you what, I bet that twenty four second clock couldn't catch.

Men as a sport. Bro Like that's.

Like, hey, these countries man, they go, I mean there and this is what they're saying, what the way we used to look at sex and what we think?

It was taboo? You couldn't talk about sex. Now they couldn't talk about you couldn't talk about that. The clothes. I mean that was I mean back then when I was a kid.

You know Daisy Duke, you know, you had the Dukes and Hazard And when Daisy Duke came out in shorts, boy, that was a big old thing.

Man.

Do you know how mad? Oh man? That boy?

You couldn't I mean, that was that was it. And maybe a halt to talk, that was it. But but but but them them string but knnies and the cat corner in that but no, no survey.

And all that was frown then back then, Oh my god, it was.

It was because you never because you didn't see it. You didn't see it as much nowadays. Man, you go to a swimming pool or beach, boy, you they're gonna.

Have club, Hey Joe, everything that you saw, everything that you saw in Victoria's Secrets, of Frederick's Hollywood.

You go to a club. I see that, no question, Hey Joe.

You know the funny thing about it, depending on where you live, like in Miami, you ain't got to be in the club.

You ain't got down the street. Oh yeah in Miami. Yeah, you can go to CVS or Walgreen.

And that's exactly.

Man.

Hey, Uncle Joe, I went. I went to the game that I went to the game today.

What game? Oh the soccer game.

Yeah, Brazil and France's a little friendly. I mean Brazil lost to one to France. I got friends probably win in the World Cup. But I went to my I went to you know, cam Bodia took me to a place I'd never been to, a something called Mike Giano's.

Huh.

It was a little Italian spot.

You talking about my Gianos the change, That's what I just said. Yeah, it's a chain. Yeah it is like Okay, I I ain't know that.

This was my first time. It was my first time.

Okay. It was good. It was good. It was awesome.

You know what, I don't want to I bet it was unbelievable. What'd you have the chicken parm What I had?

Oh?

Hey, I had chicken chicken feather chini and I added shrimp to it. I had a shrimp. Hey, if you ever had the bread there that they give you when they bring.

It to the table some garlic bread it.

I don't know what kind of bread that was, but I asked the man for the recipe. You wouldn't get it to me.

Hey, hey, hey, I went this one place I'm talking about. This was a very I mean this this this this Italian place. I don't know if you ever heard of it. It's called like Olive Garden. Oh man, that thing five who olive Olive Garden?

What's that?

Okay, that's another chain restaurant.

You ain't never been.

Joe's a real restaurant.

For real, it is, that's a real restaurant. No.

But but if you talk about like like Raios, where you probably got to know somebody. I mean, you can't get in there unless you know somebody. And wait, listen, probably without knowing somebody, you might have to wait six months to a year.

For a restaurant. Yeah, what's so special about it? Because I know you never been in there.

I ain't up been there.

No, I mean it's it's a very small and somebody owned all the tables there, so you have to know somebody that owns. Yes, somebody owned the tables. I mean you probably what about twenty thirty people could sit there at the time.

That's it. That's it.

Oh, that's why. Okay, okay, hey, where where's that?
