00:00You know who else is a bit on television
00:03Probably putting on a good show
00:05LeBron James he was on Pat McAfee
00:09Yes, sir. I'm watching it
00:12Scaring right now
00:13Yeah, he had some things to say
00:17Including
00:18appointing a new
00:20co-host
00:22He has a podcast, of course, you know LeBron James got his last podcast co-host a head coach
00:30job and
00:31He may be looking to do the same with this new co-hosts. He announces
00:36None other than Steve Nash. He'll be hosting a podcast
00:39Mind the game season 2 with Steve Nash as a co-host
00:44it will debut on April 1st and
00:47Yeah, I think I think that's gonna do LeBron and Steve Nash going back and forth talking basketball
00:54I
00:56Think you're interested in no, I
00:59Mean, this is gonna be two smart guys talking about basketball
01:03Yeah, I I think you need somebody with a little more volatility to go at LeBron
01:10You think Steve Steve Nash is gonna ask the questions that are no, it's not that it's not that it's not that listen
01:18Tobin is very smart about radio. I
01:22Like to think I know what I'm talking about when it comes to sports
01:28But together if we were the same person
01:32This show wouldn't have the same
01:35You know punch to it yes like
01:42So you you kind of need that I
01:47I won't say like I hate when people say
01:51We can't agree. So I'm just gonna be a contrarian. I don't like I like if that's what you believe go with it
01:57If not, don't be fake
02:00But you also can't have a show where everybody just sitting there yes
02:07Yes in each other
02:10Because how interesting could it be like for example
02:15I
02:18Don't know if Chuck does any preparation
02:22But I like the stories and I like the angle that he comes from with a lot of the things he says
02:29Right, then you have guys who are very professional at it, and I'm not saying that Chuck isn't
02:35But they have paid stuff written on paper
02:38Talk about Charles Barkley, right? Yeah, Charles, but yeah, come on, you know, we when you saying Chuck that people might be thinking Norris
02:48Just talk about Chuck Norris segment ago, so please clarify so so from that standpoint I just think
02:54There's certain, you know aspects of it that you need to be able to go back and forth on
03:01I don't know if
03:03They will ever
03:06You know because they're so
03:09Smart and basketball minded. I don't know if they'll ever, you know have that
03:15Back and forth that you almost need right?
03:21So I'm
03:23Someone he's had a back-and-forth with
03:26recently
03:27Stephen a Smith
03:29You know, this seems like it's been a never-ending
03:32LeBron hasn't said nothing about it, but Stephen a keep talking about it
03:36Well LeBron finally broke his silence today when he was on the Pat McAfee show
03:42LeBron James used those very same ESPN airwaves to address the feud
03:47He sat down and said he completely missed the point
03:52Never would I ever
03:54Not allow people who talk about the sport to criticize players about what they do on the court
04:01That is your job to criticize that is all a part of the game
04:05But when you take it and get personal with it, it's it's my job not only to protect my damn household
04:11But protect the players
04:13I think a lot of the media including him and I know he's gonna be happy as hell when he hears me talking about him
04:19He's gonna get home and grab some ice cream out of the bleeping freezer and sit in his chair and his tidy whities on
04:27the couch
04:28Relax, bro. This is great. LeBron continues to rip the star
04:34and
04:36Says that he's like on a Taylor Swift tour run right now
04:40It started off with I didn't want to address it. But since the video came out
04:44I feel the need to address you couldn't wait till the video comes out
04:49address it
04:51And since then, you know the brawny who he's been talking about is scored a career high both in the NBA and G League
04:58So, you know things seem to be
05:04Yeah, I don't he was a ticket shot at your girl relax
05:11The thing I hate about the thing I hate about all this
05:15And I'm gonna take you for
05:18Personal experience. Have you ever gone to a store? Have you ever gone to a place of business?
05:25right and
05:26The person that comes to either serve you or help you says bear with me is my first day and they expect understanding from you
05:35That applies to every profession other than sports in sports. You got to be a Hall of Famer the second you play
05:43Nobody ever says, you know, I'd have a couple of years of development. He might come into his own
05:48Nope, they want to trash your ass right away. And
05:52So from that standpoint if you're in basketball
05:57Okay, and you hear people talking about brawny I can name 30 players
06:03that started
06:05like brawny
06:07ended up being really good players and
06:10And a lot of them came through Miami
06:13Take all the guys that started in Miami like the Bruce Browns and and and guys like that
06:20But we have no patience. So the first fail you you see out of a guy
06:25Regardless, he wasn't a top-five pick
06:28He was barely drafted
06:32So you think he's supposed to come into the league right away and be a baller I don't care who's daddy
06:39it was daddy is
06:42It's gonna take time and
06:44Because of where he started and how he started it might take longer than other people
06:52But to trash him
06:55For being in the league for 12 seconds is
06:59Unfair because I tell you what in any other place of business
07:04They will not hesitate to tell you. I
07:07Just got here be patient I'm learning but you can't do that in sports
