00:00Everybody looks at the olympic basketball team like it should be the dream team
00:06I don't care if the pieces don't fit
00:08If the if four of the best players in the league are centers then by god, they should be on the olympic team
00:14It doesn't correlate and it doesn't work. You still to me. You still got to build a roster
00:19Now maybe the argument from the beginning should have been should jaylen brown have been included in the initial crop of guys
00:26And then you start to look of who are the people that you would bump and again
00:30True holidays got championship experience. He's won a gold medal. Nobody said a word
00:36Nobody said a word relative to jaylen brown
00:40So I got to assume that we all look at derek white
00:45That's kind of a b player
00:47if to me if you're of the
00:50At least I think if it's the no jaylen jaylen, how could that guy get? Okay
00:55Yeah, I I really do think in a way jaylen brown is saying
01:00Yeah, derek white's beneath me
01:02If you're that upset and you're putting that out there, you're also doing that to a teammate
01:08But you're saying that guy is not qualified for that spot. I am no he's not as qualified as me
01:17Being jaylen brown he's qualified, but I am 10 times more qualified
01:22So there's got to be something else about it and you keep talking about why you keep talking about this dream team and everybody
01:30This has nothing to do with it. This is politics. This is what this is. This is somebody at nike
01:37Not happy with the way jaylen brown
01:40Um called out nike for not having ethics this and these are guys
01:45Um who hold a grudge?
01:48Want to prove a point
01:49And show that they have power so they hold on to it. They don't forget it and sure as hell
01:56a spot opens up
01:58And they pick derrick white
02:00And and I don't even care
02:02There's nothing derrick white can do that jaylen brown can't do better and it's so obvious
02:08The dude just went through the post season and won nothing but awards
02:12So it's he's they they have announced that he is one of the best in the league
02:18I just I don't know how you can't see it any other way
02:21So if kairi gets named instead of derrick white all's okay, then right?
02:26I'd have a problem with anyone b if this was if they did this in
02:31So is jaylen brown the best player in your mind not on this team did this in?
02:36may
02:37You know if they did it before the playoffs, right?
02:40And you didn't just witness what you witness if you didn't just see him get award after award
02:47In the post season during the most important time
02:50Winning a championship for the boston celtics with all the pressure and expectation that goes with it
02:56I wouldn't have had an issue with it. He probably wouldn't have an issue. He'd like whatever but it's obvious. He's earned it
