00:00I want you to run with the Redick thing, and he was complaining last night after they won.
00:09He was complaining and it was actually, it's more than that too.
00:12Like he comes out and he's like reading all these advanced stats and all these, like,
00:17you could just tell he's, he, all of the stuff that he did before he got the job with his
00:23podcast.
00:24It seems like he wants to, like, reinvent the wheel of coaching in the NBA and maybe
00:30that will work and God bless him if he does, but man, it's going to be painful listening
00:36to him as he tries to do it.
00:38Here he is also talking about the basketballs that they use.
00:42I don't know if he had this take when he was playing in the league, but now that he's a
00:46head coach, here's what he thought about the basketball.
00:49I'm going to send in a request for the league tomorrow that we can play with worn in basketballs.
00:56I'm not sure why we're playing in real games.
00:58I'm being dead serious.
00:59I'm not sure why we're playing in real games with brand new basketballs.
01:04Anybody's ever touched an NBA ball brand new.
01:06It's a different feel and touch than a worn in basketball.
01:10I didn't realize it until a timeout.
01:12There's a long rebound.
01:13I grabbed it.
01:14It's like, what?
01:15Why are we playing with this ball?
01:17Give the guys the opportunity to pick a good basketball.
01:22You think I'm joking?
01:23No, I'm positive.
01:24I'm neurotic.
01:25I'm positive you're not joking.
01:26Listen, it's true.
01:27Listen, I'm telling you, I play basketball every day of my life and there's nothing worse
01:36than a new basketball.
01:38You have to break them in.
01:40We never play with a new ball.
01:42They're slippery.
01:44They're not the same tack feel as a ball that's been played with and worn in.
01:49We always play with balls that are worn in until they're shot and then we break in a
01:53new ball and before you break in a brand new ball, you always play with the next guy's
01:58worn in ball.
02:00So guys show up four or five balls show up for the run, right?
02:03There's 15 guys.
02:04There's about five balls.
02:05We play with mine every day because it's perfectly worn in and then when mine is shot, they're
02:09going to go to the next guys that's worn in.
02:12They never play with a brand new evolution or NBA ball ever any run anywhere because
02:17they suck.
02:18I mean, they're just, they're slippery.
02:21There's no tack to them.
02:22You can't grab them.
02:23I can palm a basketball and walk through an airport with a basketball palm, a brand new
02:27NBA ball.
02:28You can't do it.
