00:00was spot on on friday leading the charge on an olympic basketball or a full olympic boycott
00:08and maybe that worked jason tatum got uh i don't know three minutes uh in that hole in that final
00:15game i don't i mean he's jason tatum seems to be handling it well i think and it was interesting
00:23to hear wick on this show friday expressing what the rest of us have been expressing which is
00:29bewilderment at the fact that jason tatum did not play in a couple of olympic medal games being that
00:37he is uh coming off uh winning an nba championship but um i know he seemed to handle it well although
00:45i did i saw his comments afterwards where he said he's not sure about los angeles and the 2028
00:54olympics he will play in the 2028 olympics 100 but i think that he's handling it well because
01:00he's seeing how everybody is quick there's not one person who's not questioning steve
01:05kerr and his decision everybody's saying what are you thinking so if you're jason tatum you're
01:10sitting on the bench you've got the you've got the country behind you so i mean that's got to
01:15feel good yeah i agree with courtney like i feel ken was trying to push this on saturday and i've
01:19seen it nationally people say tatum's taken a hit like not by people what do they mean by taking
01:25that his uh standing in the basketball hierarchy has because of this because of this has taken that
01:32he hasn't that he didn't play and i'm like i i i mean maybe i'm wrong but i view it the opposite
01:37i view it as a guy that could have been angry that could have been outspoken in his desire to
01:45understand why he was being benched and he didn't yeah he could have hijacked the whole
01:49thing and made it about himself and he didn't and and i you know and i've i've seen some say
01:55suggest that that's because he's already handled here playing for the celtics the questions about
02:02the two jays and who's the alpha and who's the leader of the team and who gets so i don't know
02:09i mean i i think he handled it with class and i i think that's awesome i think it's ridiculous
02:15his mom had to go to twitter or x or whatever to ask why he wasn't getting playing time like i mean
02:23that's that's ridiculous but that's how he feels if you ever want to know what someone feels look
02:28at what those that are most close to them are saying like we all remember when bill belichick
02:33was when the saints lost to the bucks in the afs in the nfc divisional round linda was on
02:38instagram replying to comments saying it was the defense that won the game yeah like you could
02:43always see what people think but that's a credit to jason that he didn't verbalize it yeah and i
02:48mean you have to hand it to chef curry i mean that guy can go out at least they're single-handedly
02:58win you a basketball game like he did for that u.s team i think he's underappreciated i do yeah
03:04i think all time wise he doesn't get enough credit like he does he he set the standard for
03:09what a new nba shooter is and he does it in a way that nobody else has ever done it and will ever do
03:16it like he he just you can't say will ever but but greg he like he revolutionized shooting the three
03:23he alone was the sole reason that the three has become as popular as it was like that him and then
03:28analytics because everybody saw how good he was that was at it yeah they could shoot it from
03:32anywhere on the court no that's a great point and if you're looking at the game of basketball
03:37being you know obviously you know you have guys throughout the game who were great shooters but
03:46you've gone away from getting the ball down low post wise in in a lot of cases and and you're
03:52saying that's all because of steph curry yeah i think you can there's certain times you know
03:56when you look at football right like the turn of the century was kind of when defense started to
04:00fade and offense started to take over i think steph curry is a clear point in time for the
04:05nba where things shifted from a more physical in the post kind of game to an entirely outside
04:12shooting game and nba guys were psyched because they're like great he doesn't play any defense
04:16so i don't have to play defense i would also say though like the analytics people like the people
04:24that don't believe in clutch i just never get it ever since he was at davidson like no matter what
04:30the score was you watch the game in the tournament or when he joined the warriors and you're like
04:35he's never out of the game he just has that jordan jeter brady kobe type of like you can't describe
04:45it you can't yeah you just know it when you see it and he just has that
