details. You

8:00

don't have to get stronger, obviously. I mean, you

8:02

look pretty strong to me. I'm

8:04

watching. I understand. There's college

8:06

strength. No, I understand, college. No, I understand, college. There's

8:09

NBA strength. I understand, college. I

8:11

understand what his points look like and his rebounds and

8:13

his field goal percentage. And I get that. But

8:15

just looking at the highlight clips,

8:18

I'm like, I mean, he

8:21

might be able to do that in the pros. It's

8:23

just going to be faster. That's going to be about his

8:25

motor. That's all that's going to be that motor faster. It's

8:27

going to be about his motor. How

8:30

much of a motor can he have and sustain? Yeah.

8:32

And for how long? Well, you know he's going to

8:34

be a shade. You will. Yeah.

8:37

OK. If anything, he'll be a shade.

8:39

He's shown, to your point, he

8:41

did not get his father's height as he's topped

8:43

off now at 6.1 and 1.5, because I don't

8:45

think there's going to be much, if any, more

8:47

growth. Is it possible after 20,

8:50

he'll turn 20 in, I think, October 6?

8:53

I don't think he's going to get any taller, right? He

8:55

might get to 6.3. He could,

8:57

maybe. Usually right in here, it

8:59

stops. Yeah. OK. But

9:02

he did get his father's ability to

9:04

have physique, because he looks pretty good

9:06

for 19. He looks strong to me.

9:08

He looks strong. And it will get

9:10

better. And as he turns

9:12

20, 21, 22, that may be his strength. Is

9:16

his strength. Yeah. Think about this.

9:18

His arms aren't going to get any longer. His

9:21

shoulders aren't going to get any wider. But

9:23

his motor has to go up. Like, I'm

9:25

talking about a Patrick Beverly type of motor.

9:27

Oh, that's good. That's crazy motor. Yeah, I

9:29

mean, that's how you have an impact when

9:31

you're at the 6.1, 6.2 height,

9:33

though. You know what I'm saying? It feels

9:35

like he feels

9:37

like it. I haven't

9:40

been in the camp and all that sort of stuff. But

9:42

it feels like just looking at the clips that

9:45

that motor is going to go up.

9:47

It just feels that way. But when

9:49

I watch him guard, I

9:52

don't love the Patrick Beverly analogy, because as.

9:54

I feel like you got to get there.

9:56

But as Westbrook once said, Russell Westbrook once

9:58

said, or Pat Bev. out of control. He

10:00

tricked you all. He tricked you all on

10:02

defense. It looks like it looks better than

10:04

it, because it's all hands flying. There's

10:07

a lot of hands, a lot of diving on the

10:09

floor. It's a lot of fighting. Okay, I got you.

10:11

It's a lot of taking charges. But when I watched

10:13

Bronny, a USC guard, he guards

10:15

with tenacity. He guards with authority,

10:18

with strength, which is, that's why

10:20

Rob Polink is saying he can

10:22

be a disruptive point of attack

10:25

defender, where he takes your point

10:27

guard. And it's

10:29

like what Drew Holliday and Derek White could do.

10:31

They just get up in you, and they disrupt

10:33

the flow of your offense, because they're gonna push

10:36

you out of what you want to

10:38

do. I think he has the

10:40

capability to do that in the next couple

10:42

of years. Okay, now I'm

10:44

gonna go back to my Austin Reeves

10:47

comparison. Okay, so remember, Austin

10:49

Reeves stayed all four years in

10:51

college. So it's a different- All

10:53

six years. Felt like it to

10:55

me, because he was two at Wichita State and

10:57

two at Oklahoma. But the point was, he

11:00

shocked me, because I watched him a whole

11:02

lot at Oklahoma, and he couldn't

11:04

shoot. He was a sub 30% three-point shooter, and

11:06

then he fixed it. And now he's gotten to

11:08

the point where he's pretty good from three. And

11:11

he'll take and make big threes if

11:14

called upon by LeBron. The

11:16

point was, he came out at 23, see

11:18

Dalton Connect, because

11:20

there's, so that's, Dalton Connect is

11:23

where Austin Reeves was in his development, okay,

11:25

at 23. And

11:27

Austin Reeves comes to the Lakers Summer

11:29

League team, and they take a

11:32

look and they say, hey, this

11:34

kid, he can handle it. High

11:36

IQ, and he's 6'5", right? Yeah,

11:39

Austin Reeves is 6'5", but

11:41

he showed LeBron and

11:44

Rob in Summer League he could play. So

11:47

they started the year, they didn't send him to

11:49

the G League, they kept him on the roster.

11:52

And right away, he's showing LeBron, I can handle

11:54

this, I can handle this. So maybe, as you

11:56

point out, the roster wasn't great to begin with,

11:58

but he quickly found out. a niche

12:01

as a raw rookie on the

12:03

roster. And that year he averaged

12:05

23 minutes a game and he averaged

12:07

seven points, three rebounds and two assists. So he wasn't

12:10

like lighten it up like he does now, but

12:12

he was getting to play because LeBron

12:14

liked him. Okay, now back to Bronny.

12:16

Well, obviously he has

12:18

deeper connection with his son. So

12:21

to me, I don't think

12:23

they want to look, it is the

12:25

James family. And I don't know,

12:29

I'm just not sure they're going to go along with

12:31

sending the kid to the G league, even though that

12:33

might be the right path. It's

12:35

so funny you say that, Skip.

12:38

I had a long conversation and pretty

12:41

anime conversation with somebody yesterday about what you

12:44

just said. I told him the same

12:46

thing. It's so weird that you think like me.

12:48

I said to her, I said, man, I don't

12:50

know that he wanted son in the G league

12:53

because he could develop

12:55

with us much faster, even

12:57

though he'll give more minutes down

12:59

at the G league, but he'll

13:01

be playing against lesser

13:03

competition and practices or whatever the

13:06

case is. And I thought

13:08

about that. I'm like, I'm with you. I'm like, I don't

13:10

know if they're going to want him down

13:13

there, I just don't. Yeah, because he's LeBron

13:15

James' son. Do you want LeBron James' son

13:17

in the G league? Even though he can

13:19

go back and forward because they play on

13:21

certain nights and days. Listen, LeBron

13:24

is not going to micromanage everything he

13:26

does. If he feels like, man,

13:28

listen, I need to get some

13:30

five on five reps. Where am I going to

13:32

get that if I'm not getting the minutes? And

13:35

that's the best places in the G league. You got

13:37

to understand, he didn't play a lot in college. He

13:40

didn't play a lot of games. He had

13:42

a situation where he hasn't played in a

13:44

lot in the last year or so. So

13:47

like, where else is he going to get the

13:49

minutes and the repetitions? That's

13:53

where it is right now. Because

13:55

like I said, once the season starts, it's

13:58

not going to be a lot of practices. It's not

14:00

going to be a lot of five on

14:02

five. I mean, LeBron at 40 is not

14:05

going to wake up every day and go

14:07

up and down five on five in practice.

14:09

He's going to save his energy for the

14:11

games. You know, yeah, they'll have some individual

14:13

workouts to where they can do drills. But

14:15

drills only get you so far. You need

14:17

to get into that five on five situation

14:20

till you're making reads through screens. You understand

14:22

the playbook. You understand what NBA defense is

14:24

really all about. You're going

14:26

to need those reps. And so like just

14:28

sitting up on the bench, day

14:31

in and day out, traveling, it does

14:34

nothing for you. If

14:36

you're not getting the minutes, you know what I'm

14:38

saying? OK, you're making sense.

14:40

Like he needs the reps. But listen,

14:42

he's still LeBron James Jr. I know

14:45

Skip. Skip sounds just like I did.

14:47

I mean, I argued with Jerome all

14:49

day yesterday. Why, Nis Paul? I

14:51

said the same thing Skip said. Because

14:54

he said to me, he goes, you

14:56

know, he's got to develop key.

14:58

He's got to do these sort of things. Other

15:00

guys that was first round picks wind

15:03

up going to the G League. They do. And I say,

15:05

yeah, that's true. But they're that.

15:07

He's ain't LeBron, damn James. That's a

15:09

fucker. That's just the reality of it.

15:11

It's not LeBron James. So y'all

15:13

see him coming in at the beginning of the season,

15:17

not waiting, just in the rotation. That's

15:19

what you see Skip. You're saying this is LeBron

15:21

James' son, right? Explain to me what a rotation

15:23

is. He's going to come in game one. First

15:26

game at the Stables, he's in a rotation. Tell

15:28

me what a rotation is. Because

15:30

I may have a different rotation. What's a

15:33

rotation? Rotation

15:35

is he's going to play every game.

15:38

He's in the rotation. Top

15:40

six, seven. Well, during the regular season, they

15:42

play about 10. Yeah. I can see that.

15:44

I can see 10. I could see

15:46

that. I can see 10. Well, let's not

15:49

just say 10. You said it.

15:52

Let me say, all right, backup

15:54

point guard, dude. OK.

15:57

Well, that could be 15 minutes at

15:59

night. I'm saying so you see him

16:01

as the backup point guard. Okay. Who's

16:04

the point? D'Angelo Russell LeBron. I

16:06

mean obviously you'll have a don't you want

16:08

he's in with you. I don't know if

16:10

he's coming back and gave Vincent, you know,

16:12

you still got those guys. So instead of

16:14

saying guys plays does that Austin Reese brings

16:16

the ball up. It's it's it's it's it's

16:18

it's brought down to not 10 guys. It's

16:20

is he gonna be the backup point guard?

16:22

Okay, but don't you want him on the

16:24

floor with his father or not? Well,

16:27

that's the question. And so it

16:29

just makes more sense. Listen, let's

16:31

know you're speaking. You're speaking the

16:33

reps right now. Basketball. But he's

16:36

pretty he looks pretty strong to me. I don't know what he lifted. No,

16:38

but I'm saying he just looks strong. He looks strong.

16:44

He looks strong. I know. But like

16:46

Kevin Durant at the combine couldn't do

16:48

one rep of power line is seven

16:50

feet. I know. But Kevin

16:52

Durant stepped on the floor with grown man strength and

16:54

he looks like a string. They didn't step on with

16:56

grown man. They didn't step on with grown man. But

16:58

when you seven feet with a jumper, I mean, look

17:00

at women. I mean, he's probably the skittiest guy. Oh,

17:08

no, man. Maybe I'm just

17:10

now that he's here and the reality is

17:12

here. Maybe I'm just hoping and praying that

17:14

he gets on the floor and he gets

17:16

the minute. We'll see it. We just got

17:18

to be patient. It'll happen, guys. It's gonna

17:21

happen. I mean, I know we got it.

17:23

We got it. We want to

17:25

have a sooner or later. But like, let's just

17:27

let's come on, man. Let's let's put our ingredients

17:29

in first. Let's let's let us sit on the

17:31

sea. You know, I really want to go to

17:33

Vegas for the summer league. Now I hear my

17:36

first. Now I really want to. This summer league

17:38

game will be more anticipated. Watch his first one

17:40

more than the women. Yama's last year. I'm gonna get

17:42

on your plane and go with you, Paul. I

17:45

think it's July 6th. Well, first Houston.

17:47

Oh, there's a game. I think there's

17:49

a game because there are two

17:51

summer leagues and they're in that first rotation

17:53

of it. I thought Vegas started on the

17:56

12th of July. This is another one. Oh,

17:58

it must be another one. Yeah, but

18:00

I'm pretty sure the. I'm jumping on your plane with

18:02

you, Parson. Don't leave me. I might be driving. Yeah,

18:04

July. I ain't going there. I ain't going there. All

18:07

right, I can't wait for this. The

19:00

Keyshawn's podcast, the Cowboys

19:03

Malik Hooker said, Micah

19:05

Parsons should be

19:07

fourth in line to get paid behind

19:10

Citi and Zach Martin and Dak Prescott.

19:12

Listen to this. I

19:16

wouldn't put Micah yet. I

19:19

feel like we still got a lot to prove from

19:21

Micah still has a lot to prove. Like he's done

19:24

a great job his first couple of years in the

19:26

league, don't get me wrong. He's a fantastic player, but

19:29

I feel like Micah still has a surface

19:31

that he don't even know that

19:33

he can scratch as far as what he's doing.

19:35

So I would say Micah, I would say Micah's

19:37

last just for that reason then. Wow,

19:42

Keyshawn, how

19:45

surprised were you? Malik Hooker said

19:47

that. I

19:49

was surprised, but last

19:52

to get paid. So they got a couple of guys that

19:54

they got to address financially that, you know,

19:56

Micah's gonna make about two and a half million

19:59

dollars as a.
