SPEAKER_05

Welcome to Between Two Generations, a father-son sports podcast, because raising a son is tough. But debating sports with fame, now that's even tougher. All right, welcome back to Between Two Generations. I'm with my main guy, Briggs Wright, my son. It's time for another episode, buddy. We're excited about this one. Oh yeah. All right. Let's just tell the people what we're gonna be jumping right into. Cue that soundbite, that AI soundbite that you found of AI.

SPEAKER_04

It was LeBron, so it was a video about it was a guy making fun of LeBron about, and LeBron's basically saying, like, I'm so proud of SGA for learning how to flop in, master the art, whatever. And it was like that.

SPEAKER_05

These AI videos are cracking me up. Here, we got the soundbite of this one. This one is too good, and it's right on brand with how we call LeBron the Queen of

LeBron AI Flopping Praise

SPEAKER_05

Le Flop.

SPEAKER_00

Shy is truly my successor. Um he learned all of my flopping skills and took them to a whole new level. Uh when I watched game two between OKC and Spurs and saw the way he was flopping, I was so proud and emotional. Honestly, I cried a little bit.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, dude, that's so good. I love it. All right, here's what we got on today. We're starting the show off with our new topic, our new segment. It's uh it's time for our hot take segment. We did it last week. Dad hit you guys with the classic QB kneel down and why that is ruining the NFL. Me and Briggs are gonna run rapid fire through a bunch of hot takes that we think are pretty fire and a little controversial, maybe a little awkward, maybe a little funny. Then we're gonna bring back dad versus son trivia, our favorite game. It's a fan favorite, getting a lot of requests for that. We're gonna end out the show hitting you guys with our highlights and our takes of the NBA Finals so far. So let's get right into it, buddy. All right, here we go. It's time for hot takes, the segment where common sense takes a quick timeout. Logic heads out to the locker room, and one of us confidently argues something that would make every sports fan yell at their radio. And I'm hoping that that's what's gonna happen

Hot Takes On Fire

SPEAKER_05

with y'all listening along.

SPEAKER_02

Hot takes flying in the living room. In the living room.

SPEAKER_01

Sun's on fire, dad's about to resume. Whose side are you on when the debate consumes? Hot takes flying every afternoon.

SPEAKER_05

All right, it's time for the hot takes. Here we go. NFL. All right, buddy, here's number one. So every every NFL overtime game should end in a one-on-one Oklahoma drill. Now, a lot of people don't know what the Oklahoma drill is. That's where one player, you got you got uh one guy with the ball, one defender, and the whole team is circling them up around them. Yeah. And they gotta like smash through each other. The defense either gotta stop the guy or the offense make breaks it through. Yeah, that'd be fired. That'd be so fun, dude. Can you imagine like watching? Yeah. What would be the rules on how they would select which player?

SPEAKER_04

Um, my guess would be like some sort of corner flip, or like I don't even know. Maybe like I mean it out to be like two, like a I don't even know. Could you just send like your two biggest linemen out to battle? Or maybe like a cornerback and like a receiver or something like that.

SPEAKER_05

Or like running back against a linebacker or something like that.

SPEAKER_04

Like how how tight end against linebacker.

SPEAKER_05

A lot of strategy would come up. They might even have like a specific position created for this. Yeah. You know what I mean? That'd be cool, fun.

SPEAKER_04

It would be like signing like a $10 million deal for a guy that's insane at Oklahoma drills.

SPEAKER_05

I think we should, I think we should petition the NFL. They actually start this. Right now, NFL overtime rules are garbage. I know, they're horrible. Absolute trash. They should I don't know why they don't just adopt at least what the college system does. But uh, we're saying NFL overtime game end in a one-on-one Oklahoma drill. Yeah, that'd be so fire. So good. All right, here's the next one. NFL team should be allowed one steal per game. I don't know how I feel about this one. Well, hold on. So what this means is at any point, you can take one player from the other team for a single drive. What's your reaction?

SPEAKER_04

I mean, I think it'll be fun, but at the same time, I was gonna, as a fan, I would hate I I would hate it and love it at the same time, you know? Because like imagine like if I'm a Rams fan and it's like in the fourth quarter, and then like my our offense is going, and then I got it, and then, but then they steal Aaron Donald or Miles Garrett. I know. Like I'd be so freaking mad at that, like, oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, but what about what about also if you're the Rams and Matt Stafford gets hurt, and so they gotta put in the rookie backup, Ty Simpson. So who do they steal? Joe Burrow for their ridiculous idea because you think Joe Burrow is actually gonna go and play lights out against his own team to lose the game for him. Oh, wait, yeah, I didn't even think about that, Taylor. I did, that just gained me, too. Yeah. Not a realistic idea, but man, that sure would be funny. Yeah, that'd be fun. Alright, next one. Kickers should have to play another position. That'd be so funny. No more specialists. You're either a linebacker kicker or a tight end kicker. That'd be so funny. What the heck?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, that'd be so I can you imagine? Well, they would just avoid everybody. I know. Or or they might act dead every play. Rob Gronkowski has to be. I would hate this idea because then it would turn into the NFL being a flop, like the NBA has become. Oh, jeez.

SPEAKER_05

Anything to avoid that. Yeah, that's running the NBA. Thank you, LeBron. Alright, next one in the NFL. This one, this one actually is kind of fun, and I I think we could get close to doing this. Fans should vote for one play each game. I mean, yeah, that'd be that'd be fun. I mean how wild would that be though? Because there's no crazy there's no play calling expertise, and the coach, the coach would have to be forced to run whatever play wins. You know, that'd be fun. So Sean McVay, offensive genius, all of a sudden fans dial up a Hail Mary, the most you know, third down punt. That's the kind of stuff I'd submit. That'd be just so funny. Yeah. You know, there's a there'd be a bunch of teenage fans that are just like third down punt. That'd be so funny. I would 100% do that. That'd be hilarious. Oh, that'd be so funny. I think well, you know how they have the uh like the UFL. Yeah. You know, um I I I think if they started these kind of n nonsense rules in that week, I actually would watch. Yeah. Right now they probably get like two viewers a game. But it's a pretty fire idea. Let's move on to the NBA. We got some funny NBA ones too. Sorry. First one, if you get blown out by 30, your next game automatically starts down ten points. Okay, I don't like this one because then that would just make tanking horrible. That's true. If you're trying to tank, yeah, then losing by 30, you're just you're just giving them what they want the next game.

SPEAKER_04

You kinda change it by maybe like having a point like a like a team that's still eligible for the playoffs. Maybe it's kinda, you know, a thing where Yeah, or like if you're below 500, your record is below 500, then you know, it doesn't apply to you. But if you are above five hundred, then it does apply to you.

SPEAKER_05

Then it would. That's a good idea. Also, to go along with that, you and I have talked about this a lot. The NBA should totally adopt what the the European Soccer Leagues do.

SPEAKER_04

There's so many ideas for the NBA that would work. I just don't know. I just I doubt they'd ever do it. It's too much money. But but I don't know what they call it, but it's it's like Well no, well no, you just have the G League, like like the Jazz would just go to the G League. Yeah, like the Europeans I don't know.

SPEAKER_05

It wouldn't be that hard, you know? I I don't think that it would be either. Like, so what we're talking about, I don't know there's a name for it. I can't remember what it is, but in European soccer, it's like you're the two it's like the Premier League and then Yeah, if you're the bottom two teams record-wise, then you automatically get bumped down to a lower league.

SPEAKER_04

So that'd be like the like the bottom four like that, that'd be like the bottom two teams in each conference going down.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. And then like in the G League, the top two teams get moved up to the official NBA. And so every season you've got that movement. I think that would that would help tanking significantly. And then you add this, if you get blown out by 30, your next game starts down ten. Because that would at least make it to where you're you have to be competitive in a blowout. Yeah. Because there's nothing worse than watching a blowout. Everybody knows that. Alright. This next one is this next one is good. This one's our favorite. This is about the dunk. Okay, ready? Oh yeah, oh yeah. The dunk should now be worth one point unless you dunk over somebody and it's worth three points. So, like a fast break, wide open dunk, it's only one point. But if you'd slam dunk over the defense and you like cram it on somebody.

SPEAKER_04

I think every dunk should be three points. Because the problem with that is if it's a one if if like a if imagine a fast break, then they're just gonna do a layup every time. I'd rather see a dunk than a layup. And then if it was throw three points every dunk, then imagine the defenders. They'd hustle back. They'd hustle back, and then you might see an epic collision.

SPEAKER_05

And the guys doing a dunk would be so juiced about getting three points, we'd throw you you'd have some sick dunks. Yeah. Can you imagine how many guys would attack?

SPEAKER_04

Can you imagine Michael Jordan and if they had a chance to have dunks worth m worth be three points, bro?

SPEAKER_05

Oh man, that would be crazy. Golly. That you know how fun that would be though? Three points if you dunk over somebody. I mean, I'm here for it. That'd be awesome. I think that could actually be a legit rule they could implement.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Well, I think, yeah, I mean like a lot of these are kind of nonsense, but that one I think I think that one could be legit. Yeah, that's a that's definitely a legit one. All right, we just got a couple more next one. NBA players should call their own fouls.

SPEAKER_04

No, I'd hate that so much. Oh, we just like it pick up basketball.

SPEAKER_05

SGA, oh my no, that'd be horrible. SGA and LeBron with this rule. Can you imagine? How long would an NBA game last? Six hours? It might be like six to ten hours. Man, that can you yeah, can you imagine LeBron and Shai? Like those games, they would last at least six hours. We'd we'd probably still be waiting for the first quarter to end because they're just over there arguing who touched each other's elbows. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like that that would just be nuts. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Like I I want to watch a game where like there's no foul is called. Honestly. That'd be so fun. Like just like just jungle ball. Like y'all would all agree that I'd rather watch street ball than an NBA game. Because streetball is a big thing. As long as street ball has good talent. Well, yeah, but yeah, if it's like good talent, I'd rather watch a street ball game than an NBA game. Streetball, competitive good talent game, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Just that idea where there's like n not so much.

SPEAKER_04

Well, because I just don't want to watch streetball falling on the floor when it's like And they get they get breathed on.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, so it's stupid. Alright, next next one for the NBA. This one, this one actually is my favorite. Alright. This one is my favorite idea. I want to see this so bad. Every team should be required to roster one average fan. That'd be so funny. That'd be so funny. I just want to see a 42-year-old. I just want to see a 42-year-old accountant named Steve checking in to guard LeBron.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. You know, like go get him, Steve. I also feel like it could be like a good and honesty Netflix show. Like, like, imagine like like you know how like they follow a quarterback. I don't know if you guys have seen quarterback and receiver, like they follow like quarterbacks through their season. Like that'd be funny if like we gotta watch like this random guy like prepare for the NBA, you know? That would be so good. That'd be that I wouldn't have to do that.

SPEAKER_05

I would lock in for that. Yeah. I would lock in for that. Yeah, for sure. Especially if he's just some out of shape guy that like maybe he was a high school legend. I'm kidding about that. Like me. No, like for real. I'm exactly thinking me. You don't gotta apologize for that. Like who was a who was a great high school player and a little bit of a dad bot, and I go out there for two minutes. I bet you I could score in the NBA for just if they put me in for two minutes. Oh, yeah, but then you throw up after. I would. I'm so out of shape. My lungs would pop. I bet. As long as I got somebody who can penetrate and kick, I could, I could, I could nail a wide open three.

SPEAKER_04

Like you might be yokaged but like a point guard. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. So funny. Or Luca. Golly. Oh yeah. All right, just a couple more. These last ones are actually pretty funny. So all right. Um actually I want to hit this one real quick. I'm gonna go back up to kind of a serious one that we talked about earlier. So every championship in any sport, any sport, every championship should have a best of three series. Including the NFL, including the NBA, including baseball. So no more game sevens, no more one game Super Bowl. You have to have a best of three, which means the first team to win two. Wow. I like that idea. That actually would be really good. Yeah. Because like in the NFL, in a Super Bowl, you would be guaranteed that whoever is the actual best team would win. And then same that's why they do game sevens or seven game series in the NBA and like baseball, but it's too long. Yeah. Just too long. So alright. Last two, and these are just truly unhinged takes. Like these are just ridiculous.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Alright.

SPEAKER_04

Um LeBron is not in the top 20 all time. Oh. No, I'm just messing. He's in the top ten.

SPEAKER_05

He is in the top ten, but I would. You know, Skip Bayless on ESPN. Yeah. Put him what, number nine? Yeah, greatest commentator, great greatest number. We love Skip Bayless. Once he and him and Greg Carton, they both have. Greatest take ever. They both have LeBron at like number nine, and I we couldn't agree more. Yeah. Love it. Love it. Love it. Alright, well, let's let's do this one. Alright, youth sports would be better if parents had to referee their own kids' games. You haven't been a parent coach yet. You don't know what it's like dealing with all those parents.

SPEAKER_04

I should know, yeah, I have.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. I've had some friends' parents that have been You know who I had to get on to some of them, didn't I? Yeah. Yeah. Alright. That one's kind of that one's more fun for dad just to imagine. It's like, yeah, come come come out here. Alright, last one. Last one. Fantasy football. Okay, now this one might tick you off a little bit. That's why I put this one in here at last. Okay. About to rage bait my son. Fantasy football has become more popular than actual football.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. I don't I don't really care about this.

SPEAKER_05

You don't really care about that?

SPEAKER_04

No. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Wah.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I only I I don't really care if Joe actually I I cared about everything, never mind. I love it. Joe Burrow and Bengals to the Super Bowl, by the way. Just out of that, just your daily reminder that the Bengals are gonna be there.

SPEAKER_05

Let's go, Joe. Let's go, Joe. It's it is the year this time. It is the year. Hot take from Briggs. Bengals to the Super Bowl. Joe Burrow MVP. Uh yes. Let's do it. I agree with you.

NBA Finals Reactions

SPEAKER_04

welcome back. The NBA finals has been a very good one, and I'm actually, for the first time in a long time, I've actually been intrigued by it. So, Dad, what are your reactions?

SPEAKER_05

Game three was such an amazing game. Huge game for the Spurs. Can you imagine if the Spurs lost that game and they went down 03? They would have no chance. No team has already, it's already a fact that no team has ever come back from losing the first two games when they had home court advantage. So they still have an uphill climb, but they're at least there's a little sliver of hope that they might actually be able to do it. I don't know. I'm not I'm not calling that yet.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

But game three, though, was so good. There was so much energy at Madison Square Garden. Both teams were playing so hard, but Wemby's stat line for me was just the biggest takeaway from game three. Um, but not only his stat line, but how he completely finally dominated Carl Anthony Towns. So Wemby's stat line, he had 32 points, eight boards, six assists, three blocks, and we actually should have another stat of like shot deflection, or not a deflection, but like a deterrent. You know how many times those Knicks guys are trapped driving in the lane, but then they see Wemby and then they just do like a complete U-turn and they're like, forget about it. I'm not going against that guy. And they kick out or something like that. Yeah. He had to have at least 20 of those. I mean, Colin Coward, I listened to his show this morning while I was working out. He said that he's never seen such a dominating defensive performance out of anybody. And it's not like he shines on offense. He still scored 32 points. Yeah. That's what's kind of weird about it to me is you watch him play and you you you readily see his defensive prowess and dominance. But like on the offensive line, you're not like, oh, that guy's just gonna get a bucket because he's still so skinny and gets pushed around. But he dominated Kat. Cat had like one assist the entire game, hardly any points, hardly any rebounds. Like he just dominated Cap finally, which is what we've been looking for. So I'm I'm I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful. There's uh when Wemby, have you have you noticed just the huge difference in how the Spurs look when Wemby's on the floor versus when he's off the floor? They're a completely different team. The score gets run up on him. The moment he goes to the bench, every team has been going on a run, and the Knicks is no different. So with him on the floor, they're actually plus 10. Really? In the in the in the three games so far. Without him on the floor, they're minus 29.

SPEAKER_04

That's insane.

SPEAKER_05

What the what the heck, bro? That is insane. So that's that that's that's my instant reactions.

SPEAKER_04

What you got? Yeah, my instant reactions. When I was watching the game, um I I know that Wemby is he's gonna be the go. I personally I think he's gonna be the go. He's gonna he's gonna be the face of the league probably next year, but I just that's a hot take. No, he'll probably be this after if he wins the M finals, he'll probably be it, but I don't I still don't know, honestly.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Cause I because last the last game, I finally saw that like Jordan Kobe mentality, that you know, that like killer inseat kind of or like that like just kind of like way that people remember you for like what you did like in the finals, you know. But the way that like people always remember LeBron, Jordan Kobe, Steph, like for what they did in the NBA finals, you know. And it's already his first NBA final, so what it's crazy is he already has one of those games.

SPEAKER_05

So I mean, that's just unbelievable, but where he hasn't been afraid, he's been in attack mode, even if his shots not fine. Well, first two games he got punked. He's still aggressive.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, but first two games of he got punked by Cad, let's be honest.

SPEAKER_05

So oh this is a good this is a good point. He did he did get punked in the sense that but I don't think he got punked mentally.

SPEAKER_04

Well, yeah, wait, no, no, he didn't get punked mentally, but he like but like uh for me, you have to be you have to be able to dominate mentally and obviously game-wise, you know.

SPEAKER_05

He's just so thin. He needs to put on still like 30 pounds in the weight room in the offseason.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I'd love to be women.

SPEAKER_05

Because he just got pushed around.

SPEAKER_04

Because I you know how much food he get he he'll be able to eat with how much calories he burns with all that body. Like, I'd be I would love to be Wembanyama. Like to eat whatever you want. That'd be so awesome. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, and then also another reaction was I don't think the Spurs are gonna come back. Because to me, the Spurs are gonna be the next Jordan dynasty and the next warriors and whatever, and but right now in this series I think the Knicks are a better team. The Spurs the Spurs have way more talent. But the Knicks are are far, far more well, not far, but they're they're more deep to me, and they wait they're so much more experience. Yeah. So they have so after Jalen Brunson, who is an insane guard, by the way. I love Jalen Brunson. I love Jalen Brunson. He's awesome. You have Jose Alvaro and Jordan Clarkson who both have experience for many years in the NBA. And then you and then you have Josh Hart with Mikela Bridges and OG and Anubi for your small fours, which they all have experience in, and um OG and Anubi and Mikhail Bridges are all-stars here and there. And then you have Constany Towns, who is an all-star center, and Mitchell Robinson, and then a bunch of young talent on their the bench and whatever. So they're a D team and they're f and they're so and they're so much more experienced than the Spurs. Because the Spurs are most experienced guys are Darren Fox and Luke Corner or whatever his name is, you know? Mm-hmm. And then that other like Julian Champagne guy. So you know it's I I think the Spurs are gonna be insane in the cult in like probably just next year. But right now, I do think the Knicks are gonna win. I think that's the Spurs are gonna win games four and five, but then the Knicks are gonna take home six and seven.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

I think it's gonna go to seven games.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

So that that that's that's that's just my and then and then the Knicks are gonna win game seven in San Antonio.

SPEAKER_07

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. Oh boy, that I can see it happening. I mean, LeBron

LeBron Overhyped for Beating Warriors

SPEAKER_05

went with Kyrie. I we should say Kyrie went with LeBron. Hold on.

SPEAKER_04

I just want to say that LeBron's block is the most overrated thing ever. Oh, yes. Hold on, no, hold on. Hold on, hold on. So I don't know if y'all have ever noticed this, but everybody seems to avoid that Kyrie was the one who made the the shellack the three-pointer that like made them like them that distance the w themselves from the Warriors for the rest of the game. Like, why is no one talking about that three? It's always, oh my gosh, LeBron made the block.

SPEAKER_05

But that's just so so annoying. And you know what the thing is about that block? Yeah, Andre Igodala could be like a slam dunk contest. What in the world is he doing trying to lay that ball out?

SPEAKER_04

I don't know.

SPEAKER_05

Like, if nothing else, you try to dunk it and guarantee get a foul by LeBron and go to the free throw line, if not cram it on him. Like yeah, I agree with you.

SPEAKER_04

But then it just the th- I don't know why, like, I I didn't even know. Like, I thought LeBron like made like like before I saw a clip of the last like three like three minutes of the NBA of the game seven of the 2016 NBA finals. I did not know that Kyrie was the one who who um made the three-pointer and and like you know distanced himself from the Warriors. Like I thought it was like LeBron like making another three. Like if he made another three from that, like okay. But Kyrie was the one who did it, not you. So just quit stop quit talking about it, you idiot. Yeah, but single and I just hate him. I know, I know.

SPEAKER_05

I could go on for days about how much I hate LeBron, but so you're calling you're calling Spurs and seven, huh? I mean not Spurs, Knicks and seven. Yeah. I'm I'm calling Knicks and six. Okay. The the the one thing I do want to talk about though is um I'm actually turning into a huge Knicks fan. This particular team of the Knicks, let me tell you why. Let me tell you why. Never been a Knicks fan before. It's more accurate to say I'm turning into a huge Jalen Brunson. Yeah. And the culture that they've built with Jalen Brunson there, because they brought in his Villanova guys. They won two college national championships. The Knicks believed in Jalen Brunson from what they saw in limited action in Dallas, which no one has ever believed in him. He wasn't a big-time high school recruit, wasn't a big-time college draft pick. He was drafted in the second round, was put on the bench for the longest time. The Knicks saw him perform in place at Luka Donchitz in that one in the one playoff run. He did well, did really well. And they brought him over to be their franchise guy. And so they believed in him. And now look how Jalen Brunson has flourished with that. But not only, so here's what so that's cool in itself, right? But then most guys would take that and be like, Yeah, I'm gonna get paid. And they'll go take the Super Max and make it really hard for their guys or anyone else to get paid. What did Jalen Brunson do? This has got to be the coolest, most underrated, under talked about story in all the sports, and this is why I'm a huge fan. Yeah. Jalen Brunson left millions on the table, took a team-friendly deal specifically so he could go out and get his guys paid and brought onto the team so they can get better contracts, better talent. And now not only do they have better talent than what they could have, but they brought the right talent to fit with his game perfectly. They believed in him. Now the whole team, I mean, you watch that team, that is a team out there. They play hard, they play as a team, it's beautiful basketball. Jalen Brunson's sometimes a little ball dominant, and I don't like that, but he's so dang good that it had twigs episode. Tune in next week. And remember, Joe Burrow and the Bengals to the Joe Burrow and the Bengals.

SPEAKER_04
