00:00All right, we can't lose sight.
00:01You know, gold medals are important.
00:03You know, gold medals are important and it's important for Team USA
00:06to to win the gold, but it's not as important as Cruton.
00:10And Cruton is happening
00:14at the Olympic Games, ladies and gentlemen.
00:17Now, I don't know if you noticed this, but I know you did, in fact.
00:22So I'm going to bring something to your attention.
00:24You'll tell me.
00:25So yesterday, I'm going to get mad because yes, reach.
00:29No, I'm not reaching.
00:30I'm not reaching.
00:30I'm not reaching.
00:31You can't decide if you're reaching.
00:34So Steve Kerr, he had said yesterday to reporters,
00:38because Kevin Durant killing it, he's doing great, he's good.
00:43And he had said that, oh, Kevin Durant, he's going to continue
00:46to come off the bench, you know, like we're not going to reshuffle anything.
00:51He likes his his role there and.
00:55He has notice all bam out of bio
00:59slipped on the Instagram into the comments.
01:04And, you know, one of these things on like a SportsCenter Instagram
01:09or like KD will continue to come off the bench.
01:11It's a headline.
01:13But bam, he never misses an opportunity to recruit.
01:16All right.
01:17This man, he knows what he's doing.
01:20Now, it'd just be nice if the organization would catch up with his groundwork.
01:23But either way, last Olympics, we know he laid the groundwork
01:28for Damian Lillard to want to come to the Miami Heat.
01:32Now he's got a pivot to the quiet summer.
01:37But there's always the trade deadline.
01:39And this was interesting because he goes on Instagram.
01:44Why would they do that?
01:45And he posts.
01:48Bench mob at easy money sniper, that's Kevin Durant's
01:52Instagram, Leroy and KD.
01:56He responds with a chair emoji for the bench.
02:02Their bench mob together, dude.
02:04That is crude.
02:05Crude is happening in Pele.
02:10We need to add a new thing that might be a money.
02:13Why minus one for reaching?
02:16I'm not reaching, dude.
02:18Oh, you don't think this is a little coincidental for them to.
02:22He's trying to make a little jokey joke.
02:24Now, I don't know what else those eyes.
02:28You know, this guy is a flirt.
02:29This is the man who once wore Bradley Beals jersey on the court.
02:33He's not shy about it.
02:34He's not shy about it.
02:36He's not shy about it.
02:37Or maybe he's just well liked by everybody, which is amazing.
02:40All right. Well, like he is well, like, hey, there's not one person.
02:45They all hate me, though.
02:47Well, I'm going to have my man doing some push up.
02:52Maybe they'll love you for that.
02:53I'm telling you, well, I put together this was an exclusive,
02:56but I put together my official recruiting rankings.
02:58If Bam did a push up,
03:01Trey Young could walk underneath him.
03:05Wingspan.
03:08Wait, so this was just Jackass got out of this
03:13wingspan, not that Trey Young's short as hell.
03:16No, no, no, no, that's going to be true.
03:20It's wingspan.
03:21But I did Leroy.
03:22I did an official rankings this weekend, official recruiting rankings.
03:27Oh, and you Kevin Durant was number one on my list.
03:31Number one.
03:32Number one on my list.
03:33Most likely to be recruited off Team USA.
03:36Let me ask you a question.
03:37I'm interested in three.
03:38If the same situation happened with somebody else,
03:42would you have changed and put that person number one on your list?
03:45This was before the I mean, this happened after the list had already come out.
03:49So hard to say.
03:49This was number one on my list before the flirtation on Instagram.
03:54That's not flirtation.
03:55Oh, it's flirtation, dude.
03:56It's flirtation.
03:57That's flirtation.
03:58By the way, you were not.
04:00Oh, I did release this list.
04:01Would you? I mean, verbally.
04:03But would you like I mean, I have the list if you want the list.
04:06I do want to be.
04:07Well, he said this is an unreleased list.
04:09And it's not unreleased.
04:11It has been released.
04:12I did. I did the list on on Friday, by the way.
04:15Speaking of, did you see who else was doing some crew in this weekend?
04:18Oh, well, Dwayne Wade was broadcasting, right?
04:22Working hard.
04:23And Dwayne Wade released a little video on his Instagram.
04:28Shadow president.
04:30Hmm. Who's working with Steph Curry here?
04:33But one Eric.
04:34Oh, some crew.
04:38Yeah, I don't know, dude.
04:40He doesn't just pick anybody.
04:42You know, Steph has his own.
04:44He has his own coach who does warm ups with them.
04:46You know, not not some guy who's on the bench.
04:49So it's a big, distinct honor to be Steph Curry's warm up.
04:53I got to tell you, that dude got some handles.
04:56Oh, dude, does he?
04:58So Eric Spolstra is out here
05:02just thinking to himself, you know, Steph,
05:05if things go awry this year in Golden State,
05:09who says you have to finish it?
05:11Who says, Hey, man, there are no rules to be honest with you.
05:15And I don't know if Steph would fit with the heat because he's a he's a.
05:23He has he has the ball a lot.
05:26Think of the parties, dude.
05:27No, I'm just like, I just made the the the one
05:31the one trait of this team that Steph does.
05:35I'm not saying he's not great three point shooter.
05:37I'm not saying he can't help.
05:38I'm saying one of the things is the volume of time
05:41he has, the ball doesn't quite go well with.
05:44Think about the dribble handoffs with BAM and Steph.
05:47We BAM is back to dribble handoffs with Steph, though, with Steph.
05:51A little dribble handoff.
05:54Hold on. Hold on.
05:55My guy, my guy, dribble handoff guy no more.
05:59That's to give that role to somebody else.
06:01Set that up for Steph Curry.
06:02No, he ain't dribble handoff guy no more.
06:06You know, he's going to do that at some point this year.
06:08He is going to start trying.
06:09He's going to get Duncan Robinson open.
06:11That's still going to be great.
06:13But close your eyes.
06:14Close your eyes and picture this, Leroy.
06:15Instead of Duncan Robinson, my eyes are picturing nonsense.
06:19Peekaboo. It's Steph Curry.
06:23Huh? He was number five on my list, by the way.
06:26Five. Yep.
06:28Who would I see?
06:30One is KB, five is Steph.
06:32Yeah. Four.
06:36That's interesting.
06:37I think Damon is still on the list.
06:39He's not on the list.
06:40These are all members of Team USA.
06:42This was a pure off of an Olympian.
06:46I'm shook. Oh, my goodness.
06:48All members of current Team USA.
06:50I rank them from 11 to one least likely
06:55to most likely to be recruited.
06:57Least likely is LeBron.
06:59Nope. Oh, wait.
07:00Embiid for sure.
07:01He nailed it.
07:08Which is rough.
07:08It could have been Jason Tatum, but definitely Embiid first.
07:11Because Jason Tatum is ten.
07:13Nope. Jason Tatum is higher.
07:14He's higher than you think.
07:15Because him and Bam are very close.
07:17Well, very close.
07:18Yeah, but you, dude, like.
07:22Can you come back from that?
07:23If Tatum ended up with the Heat, could you come back from that?
07:25I could come back from it.
07:26I could. First of all, he'd leave Boston, which would just be hilarious.
07:29Second of all, it'd be like it would be like taking Ray Allen.
07:31You would just flip.
07:31You would just. No, no, no.
07:32Ray Allen was free. They didn't want him.
07:34I know that if Jason Tatum was on the Miami Heat,
07:37they would get the most out of him.
07:38But listen, he's not top five on the list.
07:40He's six, but he's on the list.
07:42All right. Give us your list. Six.
