00:00Alright crossover time. Let's welcome in Willard and dibs. How you guys doing? What are you thinking? What's going down?
00:07No, well, come on Boone. He's gonna be on in about a half hour. So oh nice
00:12About to go down
00:13Cuz he said your pig stink. That's right, and that's fine
00:17We'll lead with that and you can think that and I'm just two games below 500 and I'm gonna ask him on like
00:23Come on of my 28 picks this year. Which one did you think stunk the most you should ask him who he likes?
00:30No, and I will she asked me likes tomorrow night. Of course, you won't know but a fun answer
00:35Yeah, be fun and we're gonna do the big finish with Kavon
00:38Okay, and it's Mark's bit but I've kind of I haven't taken it over but I've prided myself in like crafting
00:45Topics and now you've done. Well, it was delegation sensation. I like it like I can tell you're sort of like is it okay?
00:51I'm like, it's okay, and I mean you're doing it great and you're super busy
00:54and so I think about it and I'm like, you know what big finish and we have two topics and
00:59One of them is Splash Brothers, okay, and one of them is Looney Tunes
01:04So and you know each of the subset is completely different than what you would think
01:09And so I wonder what he'll pick when he comes on it, too
01:15What he's ready the Warriors road record was horrible and he's like they don't know their road right now
01:20It was their overall record
01:22These guys are so in the weeds, I know it's a different sport FP would tell me that like
01:28I have paid get on the plane after a series and they would all look at like the manager would it be like
01:34Where are we going? Like you're in Philly. Come on. You play a three-game series
01:39Somebody gets your bag you shower
01:42Somebody drives you to a plane you get on the plane
01:45Somebody feeds you and you look at the guy next to you and go
01:49Somebody feeds you and you look at the guy next to you and go where are we going?
01:53Yeah, that's what bird said that to about travel how they're going said
01:58You know, I always knew where we were coming from, but I never
02:06When you go to the hotel and you go to like room 1104 and that was the last hotel
02:11And then you look at your card, which has no room on it. You're like, oh my god
02:15Now as a
02:17Broadcaster in the minor leagues and this was a small league. There's only only eight cities. Yeah, but yes
02:2376 games in 79 nights
02:25It would happen a lot where you would wake up in a hotel room and you had to start going on
02:32What where am I right? Where am I? What time is it? Like because you get a per diem or
02:38Oh, yeah
02:48They paid me so it was almost every day so 30 games
02:53And I was broadcaster too. I wasn't broadcaster one. There's a difference in that I guess I didn't ask him what he made
03:00But they offered me
03:011,500 a month. Okay, I was like 22
03:051,500 a month and then yes
03:07You got coaches per diem which meant that at the start of every road trip as you got on the bus
03:12You got an envelope and I think I think coaches per diem was 30 bucks a day
03:17And those road trips were usually five days. So you'd also get a hundred fifty dollars cash
03:21Yeah, every time you got on the bus cash Monet
03:25Gone by day one. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that was how it worked
03:30Well, it might it might be gone actually by the end of the bus trip because I told you about bus trip roulette, right?
03:35No, I love this story bus trip roulette was my favorite game
03:40So if you look at the spokes of a bus wheel, there are ten little bolts
03:44And so you had to now obviously we had more than ten people on the bus
03:48So you almost had to compete to get in the game
03:50But somebody would always like kind of take control to start the bus trip who wants in on bus trip roulette
03:57And it'll be like either five or ten or if they're really feeling it after a win
04:01Maybe you'd throw in twenty dollars bus trip roulette and the rule was put all the money
04:07Whoever's gonna hold it and then the next time the bus stops
04:10The really funny one was sometimes the bus would get started and we would just drive down the street to pick up snacks
04:16But it stopped right away bus stops and y'all what you would do is take a sharpie and number each of the ten bolts
04:24No lug nuts. Oh, yeah, right the nut. Yeah, I'm not a hardware guy. Anyway, whatever those little things are
04:29Shut up NASCAR number them with a sharpie one through ten
04:31And then when the bus stops you run out and you look at which one of the numbered nuts is
04:39Highest pay me whichever is highest wins all the cash all the cash
04:46Two or three times it was really good to try to win the overnight one
04:51Because you could just lie cuz half the dudes were asleep
04:53I look at you wake up and you'd be like, yeah my number one
04:56We stopped we stopped in the middle of nowhere to go to the bathroom. You lost money. Yeah
05:01her DMS have always fascinated me and
05:06So I'll tell you exactly in what way so the NBA I just looked
05:11So about these envelopes, you're absolutely right. Yeah, so let's say the Warriors they were just on a road trip five games five games
05:19Seven let's just say seven days probably got a per day. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah what an NBA game?
05:24It's per day an NBA. No, it's yeah per day. That's why it's per diem per diem is day left in life
05:30Okay, do you want to do like a game show music on what the per day would be?
05:38I know the per diem in the NBA and this is the player per diem
05:41Correct probably different than the coaches per diem probably because in the mother leagues the coaches per diem was more
05:47Than the player per diem and he was Randy
05:50So I imagine it to be other way around in the NBA that the player per diem is more than the coach
05:57NBA player per diem, which is Latin for per day and thank you for that dining
06:02Yes, which is not Latin per stiny actually translates to per stiny, but I'm gonna say
06:09250 bucks per diem
06:13Oh
06:14Why'd you I'm going 150 that's unfair. Yeah, I didn't like 56. Oh
06:28Who would have gone 151
06:34So like
06:38The team comes in one by one back in the day
06:41It was the athletic trainer Tom Abdenauer who would hand out the envelopes. And so here's an envelope to Steph Curry with a
06:50$1,092 in it. Oh, here's another envelope for
06:54Draymond green with a hundred and ninety two cash dollars in a thousand ninety two thousand ninety two
07:00It's funny cuz Mike right at the beginning of the tree actually outside the bus screaming
07:05Here's
07:07Here's the kicker thousand bucks they get a big so they go into a trip. Here's a thousand in cash. Yep
07:15Every meal is already accounted for right like they can have a team breakfast anytime. They want the
07:22On the plane meals on the plane food on the plane
07:27They have spreads in the locker room after the game
07:31So the rookies a lot of the rookies are guys today
07:34They're they put that in their pocket and they just those are wages not wedges wages
07:39Well two words who saw a dose. Yeah, where that goes
07:43if you're a giant that thing goes right to the card game, and I remember my days doing a
07:49arena football
07:50Sabre cats you get a two-day trip and I'm just out there trying to like make my way and do play-by-play and thank God that
07:57Fitz was busy. Yeah doing warrior games and you know, they give you an envelope and it's like 180 bucks and I'm like
08:03Oh my god, this is incredible. I got 180 in cash for two days in Tulsa
08:09I couldn't possibly spend this in Tulsa
08:12We got to share with you the show the theme of the show because my man is special and I wouldn't let me get out
08:18of here without this
08:20But we need you to to give us some numbers and Brock Purdy through eight games or nine games
08:25Can I can I phrase it
08:28Can I ask the question a little okay, so we're talking about
08:35You guys got loony sorry, no, come on loony is going to crash our party. Oh, I just hope that's okay. So go ahead
08:44Come on he's gonna come on right now in the middle of the cross. Oh, yeah
08:48So go ahead you guys can jump in with us. Well, you go ahead. Well, I got I got Kavon loony being overwhelmed
08:53He very seldom gets double-teamed. Yeah, and now there's gonna be four guys swarming him
09:01We'll see if he can help tell him we want to still do the the big finish with him though. No doubt
09:08Plans with the guy he doesn't know Raymond Ritter. He will leave it to Lucas the directors
09:15We got come on
09:17Is he ready? Hey, come on, what's going on?
09:19Take over the lead here because it's two o'clock. Okay, but you're not leaving
09:26Yes joining us on the River Islands
09:28I guess line is none other than Kavon loony. Have you ever been interviewed by four different media dorks at once? Come on. I
09:34Know I have it my first time. Look at that
09:41So tell us about a 12-man rotation
09:44Man rotation and and the sustainability of this and how the guys are handling that as a group I
09:52Think everybody's had a little well, it's a little different, you know, everybody wants to play a lot of minutes
09:56But I think everybody's been sacrificing and buying in we've been winning games and we've been no playing our style of basketball
10:02We're just playing fast and
10:04No, really pushing the pace in so everybody knows when they go out there
10:07There's you gotta play as hard as they can so they look for time that they getting so
10:11It's been cool, I think it's just sustainable, you know, it's a long season
10:15It's gonna be a up and down the guys will be in and out of lineup with injuries and different things like that
10:20So we're deeply just a ready and no keep on it
10:23Yeah, it's a little bit like a four-man radio rotation and we do this every day at 145 Kavon and you know
10:29Sometimes it's my day. Sometimes it's guru and you know, I
10:33Kind of feel like I'm the Kavon loony of this little segment because some days I'm a monster
10:39Some days I lay back. How do you as Kavon loony and well the Kavon loony of the Warriors?
10:45How do you pick your spots and realize when it's your game and maybe when it's not your game?
10:50Uh, I think that's more or the coaches is gonna be my game or not
10:54I just got there when I get my time. I try to make the most of it try to have the impact
10:58I kind of can no tell by how the matchups are is
11:01I'm gonna be used more but I just try to go out there and be me. That's my ability and
11:06Hopefully it works out for me and
11:09Last couple games has been up. I played last game a lot of game for I didn't really got to get in
11:13No, so gotta stay ready and stay sharp mentally. Hey, Lou, I got to do this for my son there
11:18We forget basketballs about here. We go back to when you had waves and the low cut
11:23But now you're long hair long like Rapunzel
11:27Can you give my son some tips cuz he see you at the free throw line? He like dad. I'm trying to get like
11:36How many years have you been letting it grow
11:38man, I think my my third year I
11:44Never thought I would be here. I thought I'll always have a short hair doing that during the pandemic. I forget it
11:50I'm gonna grow it out
11:55You're listening to 95 7 the game KGM Z FM and HD 1 San Francisco
11:59He's live on the free Odyssey app twitching YouTube powered by first NorCal Credit Union
12:03There's one thing that I don't like Kavon. Oh boy. It's false
12:08Advertising and I'm looking at your numbers right now. Yeah, okay. That's fine. You have a nice little year. That's great, right?
12:16What are you gonna take a three?
12:17You said you were gonna take my house. I see
12:21I
12:22Told you I wasn't on for sale
12:23I'll get in the flow and the flow as they go my way for the three
12:26So now hopefully the next couple games I gotta get one up and if I'll get one up by December day
12:31And now Steve might not let me get him up the rest of these I gotta show I could do it now
12:34I mean in 2021 you you took 17 threes
12:42Remember that I'm not I'm not I'm not on a good pace right now, but I'm gonna get there
12:46Come on, actually, you know, what's funny and I don't like to that end and I don't know how many people have done this
12:51I don't know how many people saw you play at UCLA
12:54You are such a different player
12:56Like you right you you do have that jumper in you that was there was the norm back with the Bruins man
13:04So like what what is the evolution of your game from that time?
13:09Just trying to have an adapt to a different team. No
13:13No back when I was in college in high school, we didn't play a lot of motion
13:16It was kind of a lot of standstill offense, you know
13:19I don't have a Steph Curry running around in clay and buddy. He'll different guys like that and
13:25So much the game was easier to make reason of open shooting and that was it now business I being with the Warriors
13:31No, we play a lot faster a lot more movement
13:34And I'm kind of playing the center and my job is kind of connect the offense to move the ball side to side
13:38Don't get my shooters open and they go hit me in the pocket and I got a role
13:43We play with a guy like like Steph, you know
13:44He don't need you to pop needs to roll it in because so much attention you need I left for the ball
13:49so different things like that kind of change the way I approach the game and
13:53So I still work on my jump shot I have I have faith in it
13:56But a lot of times it's not call for me to shoot
13:58No, a lot of times I get it. I'm open. Steve wants me to know go to the next option
14:02They hit it off the buddy. He usually open so
14:05No, that's how that offense run. That's our office clothing and it worked
14:09I don't want three champs just playing that way. So it's kind of hard to turn it off
14:12Yeah, kind of hard when you've got three rings because of it and guys that you played against on Tuesday had the four rings
14:19What was that like for you to see clay out there?
14:21Rocking 31 for the Mavericks
14:24It was extremely weird, you know
14:26When they announced Kyrie Irving, he said number 11
14:29It was like you just assumed it was gonna be clay coming out to 11
14:31But it was a different jersey different uniform, but the game was a lot of fun, you know
14:36That's what I expected to be like, you know
14:38With those, you know, Steph, Draymond, Clayton none of them want to lose to each other in cars
14:42They don't want to lose the shooting competition. They don't want to lose in a race
14:45So I know in the in a game like that
14:47It was gonna be a lot of a lot of fun a lot of juices a lot of trash-talking
14:50Yeah, I think it lived up to the hype Lonnie
14:53Let me ask you about just coming to work because we always act like we know but we don't know what really goes on
14:58You know inside the locker rooms and the inner workings, but it's no secret the last couple of years that you know
15:03It's been off just a tad bit
15:05But you guys added three new players and it seems like the connectivity is just on
15:101,000 can you just speak to how fast that that manifested was that to trip to Hawaii or because it just looks like you guys
15:17Are just having a blast
15:20Definitely, I think that the trip to Hawaii helped but uh at the last season after not making the playoffs
15:25You have everybody had to look at each other in the mirror and hold each other accountable and hold their self accountable
15:30I know last year was wasn't our up to our standard, you know
15:34We was above 500. We had a decent record, but we didn't make the playoffs
15:37Now we thought my winning championship tonight you make the playoffs as a you know
15:41Was something that we didn't none of us foresaw. So this all season
15:45I think everybody locked in and you know put all the egos and stuff to the side and we came in
15:49Everybody was buying in and listen to our coach staff and we got our identity back in
15:54We just got there playing with joy
15:55And I think it shows the new guys came in and brought different energy brought a new life the young guys got better
16:00I think everything is starting to know starting to click at the right time and we know it's a long season only
16:0510 get 11 games and we got a lot more to prove but we like the way we're playing and we off to a good start
16:11Come on, Looney joining us on 95 7 the game
16:13Let me quick ask you about this 11 man 12 man rotation when Steve Kerr said, you know
16:18I'm gonna I'm gonna try to do this
16:20Like give me and and now like you watch, you know, the people on TV and they say it's not sustainable
16:26But my question to you is what what would be the reasons it works?
16:31And what would maybe be a reason that it might not work?
16:35I think it all falls on
16:38On the players if if we wanted to work it can work, you know, we buy in that
16:43No, we're gonna make the most of our time and not complain about minutes not complain about
16:48Not get enough time. We're not starting
16:50that could where it could be problems when guys start complaining and
16:54bickering about things but if we all buy into the system and buy into that, uh
16:58This 12-year rotation is gonna know what make us win and then they're all gonna chip in and wait on our turn
17:04I think it's gonna work
17:05So I think it's all based on the players and then based on our belief in the system and us buying in
17:09I think we've been buying it so far and that's why I've been working come on
17:13with four different hosts asking you questions that gave me a moment to do a little internet research while
17:22So I yeah exactly super weird
17:25But uh, I I wonder do you know off the top of your head what your career three-point percentage is?
17:32My career, yes, I think you might have brought it up last time. I thought you
17:39Know I'm that guy
17:41Do you know?
17:42It was like it was like 18% or something crazy like that, right?
17:45Do you it is it is 16.7 at this hour?
17:48Yeah, I was like you said I was like 16 for 41 or something like that. Um, I've got you at 10 for 60
17:55I've got you Denver, but do you remember the last one you hit though?
17:58Actually, I don't it's probably
18:02No, I don't look two years ago, maybe I've got I've got you going back to the
18:082020-21 season when you hit four of them that year
18:12Yeah
18:14Every other every other three other shots. There's been was probably a half-court shot. So you can't hold that. Yeah, I know
18:21We don't come on, I just I wanted you know
18:25You know some guys know more about their stats than others and I didn't figure you to be a box score guy actually
18:31No, I know. I didn't shoot a lot of my I don't count any of my three the last three years
18:34I don't I don't remember shooting any so I don't count
18:38I'll pay the ticket. I'm still zero zero. So yeah, I love it
18:41We're all dying to see the next one and I can't help but think about you with the two
18:45Not the two at the rim, but the mid-range two. Are you more comfortable now this year shooting at 12 to 18 footer?
18:53Definitely, you know, I always I've been comfortable but this time I worked on my shooting a lot
18:58So I feel a lot comfortable shooting those shots just trying to pick
19:01The right spot to shoot them, you know in this new NBA
19:05The long tools in the mid-range is not something you want to get every time when I know
19:09We want to shoot a lot of threes want to play fast want to play at the rim
19:11So I try to pick it and choose my spots and I get those shots up
19:15So yeah, but I'm definitely comfortable shooting there. Loni. I know it's early but I got a question. I got to be real
19:20I've been complaining about you know, every time the Warriors play another team a star a couple guys are out
19:26I'm just curious the inner workings. How soon of the team that you're playing? Do you find out who's not available?
19:32How does that work? And do you think the NBA's got a problem because every other night Loni everybody you play every time you play
19:38Somebody somebody's out. Have you noticed that?
19:42Definitely. No, we usually like we plan for one thing during our walkthrough and then we won't know until
19:48About 30 minutes for the game when we go to our last look
19:51film session that who's actually start or who's playing or not, so definitely changes things and it's definitely something that uh,
19:58There's been a problem for the leader. I've been trying to fix and uh, but you know, sometimes it's just no God's been hurt
20:04Yeah, I don't think I've been arrested. I think God's really been hurt and that's a such to see that
20:09Uh, you know, sometimes it's like freak injuries happening in any game of basketball
20:13So you hope to get everybody out there and playing that full strip?
20:17No, we did pretty we may have some injury luck bad luck with no step into a couple games and don't miss some time
20:23so, uh
20:24No, it's it's tough. But hopefully everybody can be healthy and again, I'll see the matches that everybody wants to see
20:30No doesn't make the NBA great. Nobody everybody wants you to start or to start it
20:35I think we need a not sure where to fix that
20:38We have a little mystery right now in the Bay Area. Perhaps you could help us solve
20:43Kavon oh, what was Steph Curry screaming into the camera?
20:51Exactly, I don't know. I I don't know exactly what he said. I know a little bit what he said
20:58I don't know who's I can cuss on the radio. He did say some cuss words. Yeah, I this is my house
21:02I know he said that but before that I don't really know what he said
21:05He's doing a lot of screaming a lot of celebrating
21:09Jeremiah probably let you know in his podcast coming out
21:13Come on
21:15He said you better stay here, didn't he? He did
21:25Come on since you seem to remember recent conversations you've had with us
21:30You also know that before we let you go you got to have fun on the way out the door with the big finish
21:35So you ready to do that with us today? Yeah. Okay. Let's fire away. Grandy. Here we go. Big finish time

23:05I feel like I'm so special when I'm walking up even in the in the layup line
23:09So you hear me before the game?
23:10I'm listening to all hype music get me going and you know
23:13I feel like a beast when I'm going out there to rebound and stuff. I'm gonna go next
