They bring in Blake Griffin now for whatever that is worth at this stage of his career.

他們現在引進布雷克-格里芬，不管在他職業生涯的這個階段有什麼價值。

What what are we seeing in Brooklyn right now?

我們現在在布魯克林看到的是什麼？

And how formidable do you think they are?

你覺得他們有多厲害呢？

Let's let's start with the Eastern Conference.

先說說東部聯盟吧。

Yeah, you know, once and we had the game the night the trade had gone through, we were literally on the phone, Mike Green and I and Cassidy Hubbarth with Steve Nash.

是的，你知道，有一次，我們有比賽 當晚的交易已經通過， 我們從字面上的電話， 邁克・格林和我和卡西迪Hubbarth 與史蒂夫・納什。

And I was waving about Jared Allen and what his future was.

我還在為賈裡德-艾倫和他的未來招手。

And I was getting this very tepid response from Steve, and I was really struck by his lack of enthusiasm.

我從史蒂夫那裡得到了非常平淡的迴應，我真的被他的缺乏熱情所打動。

Well, now, in hindsight, you understood exactly why they were giving up this terrific young piece.

好了，現在，事後看來，你明白了他們為什麼要放棄這個了不起的年輕作品。

Listen, they have acquired James Harden at the absolute perfect point of his career.

聽著，他們在詹姆斯-哈登職業生涯的絕對完美點上收購了他。

That reminds me of the arrival of Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen in Boston, where every conceivable individual honor had been earned by those two men and the glaring weakness of their resume was the lack of a championship.

這讓我想起了凱文-加內特和雷-阿倫來到波士頓後，所有可以想象的個人榮譽都被這兩個人獲得了，而他們履歷中明顯的弱點就是沒有冠軍。

And so what did they do?

所以他們做了什麼？

They you know, they put their egos aside, they committed to dock on the very first day that the foundation would be defense, something we haven't yet seen from Brooklyn.

他們你知道，他們把自己的自我放在一邊，他們承諾在第一天就對接，基金會將是防禦，我們還沒有看到布魯克林的東西。

But we've seen enough.

但我們已經看夠了。

And so you get James Harden at exactly the right moment.

所以你在正確的時刻得到了詹姆斯-哈登。

He is a virtuoso on the offensive and the floor.

他在進攻和場上都是一個高手。

He has manipulated, you know, the offensive end of the floor at a time when offenses are producing at these incredible clips.

他已經操縱了，你知道，在進攻端在這些令人難以置信的剪輯生產的時候。

And so I'm convinced, you know, I was on a podcast last week and they basically put me on the spot and said, Who's going to win it?

所以我相信，你知道，我上週在一個播客上，他們基本上把我放在現場，說，誰會贏得它？

And I came down on the side of the Brooklyn Nets.

我從布魯克林網隊那邊下來。

I just think over a seven game series dealing with three of the most gifted offensive players in the league is going to be very hard.

我只是覺得在七場系列賽中，對付三個聯盟中最有天賦的進攻球員會非常困難。

And then I look at a guy like a Bruce Brown who has figured out the perfect way to contribute on a team like that.

然後我看著像布魯斯-布朗這樣的人，他已經找到了在這樣的球隊中做出貢獻的完美方式。

You know, these understated pieces around these guys?

你知道，這些人身邊的這些低調的作品？

Bruce Brown.

布魯斯-布朗

Okay, I'm going to cut.

好了，我要切了。

I'm going to go ahead a timely offensive board.

我先來個及時雨攻勢板。

I'm going to guard anybody you ask me to guard like you need that kind of commitment from around those three guys, and I think you have it and Blake us to the question of Blake like, I'm really curious.

我要守衛任何人，你問我守衛像你需要這樣的承諾從周圍的三個人，我認為你有它和布雷克我們對布雷克的問題一樣，我真的很好奇。

I'm thrilled for him.

我為他感到高興。

You know, It's been a unique journey.

你知道，這是一個獨特的旅程。

He enters the league.

他進入聯盟。

You know, My son and I were talking this morning and one of the things he said it goes, Mom, he was.

你知道嗎，我兒子和我今天早上哈拉的時候，他說的一句話是：媽媽，他是。

He was the guy that most captivated our imaginations when I was, you know, a younger kid and and interested in the NBA because he's jumping over cars.

他是最吸引我們想象力的傢伙，當我還是一個年輕的孩子，對NBA感興趣的時候，你知道，他是跳過汽車的。

He's in lob City, you know?

他在洛城，你知道嗎？

He's, he's he's morphed his game into what it has to be a jump shooting.

他，他他他已經把自己的比賽蛻變成了必須是跳投。

He's always been an exceptional passer, like people forget.

他一直是個出色的傳球手，就像人們忘記了。

You know, we talk about Marc Gasol in the Lakers, right at the at the free throw line and surveying the floor and and taking apart defenses.

你知道，我們在湖人隊談論馬克-加索爾，就在罰球線上，觀察地板，並拆開防守。

You know, don't underestimate Blake Griffin's ability to be successful as a passer in the league.

你知道，不要低估布雷克-格里芬在聯盟中作為傳球手的成功能力。

So I like the acquisition and I'm and I'm happy for Blake Boy, that was a That was a long winded answer.

所以我喜歡這次收購，我也為布雷克小子高興，那是一個長篇大論的回答。

Greeny.

格林尼。

Sorry about it was a good one, though.

對不起，這是一個很好的，但。

I mean, it's a very thorough and and and look, I mean the bottom line of it is that for those who haven't been paying attention because he's been in Detroit and so maybe people haven't been watching, he hasn't dunked in a game in two years.

我的意思是，這是一個非常徹底的和和看，我的意思是它的底線是，對於那些沒有注意的人，因為他一直在底特律，所以也許人們沒有看，他沒有在兩年內的比賽中扣籃。

Yet it literally hasn't dunked in a game since 2019.

然而從2019年開始，它就真的沒有在比賽中扣籃了。

So he's a small ball center, probably coming off the bench and let's see what he adds.

所以，他是一個小球中鋒，可能是從板凳上下來的，讓我們看看他的補充。

The great Doris Burke is with me.

偉大的多麗絲-伯克和我在一起。

So So, Doris, you just said when when put on the spot, you picked the Nets to win the whole thing.

所以，多麗絲，你剛才說，當被問到這個問題時，你選擇了籃網隊贏得整場比賽。

My inclination, I think, would be to agree with you.

我想，我傾向於同意你的觀點。

Our mutual friend, Mr Rose.

我們共同的朋友，羅斯先生。

Jalen Rose on TV with me the other day, said Greeny.

杰倫-羅斯前幾天和我一起上電視，格林說。

If Anthony Davis is fully healthy, nobody even takes the Lakers to seven games.

如果安東尼-戴維斯完全健康，甚至沒有人把湖人隊帶到7場比賽。

Forget about winning.

忘了勝利吧。

No one even takes the Lakers to seven games, including the Nets.

甚至沒有人把湖人隊帶到7場比賽，包括籃網隊。

What do you think of that?

你怎麼看？

Yeah, you know and jail and has a history of being right about a lot of things.

是啊，你知道，監獄和有歷史的是正確的 關於很多事情。

And one of the fascinating things I've heard him say relative to putting teams together in this kind of situation is how infrequently teams, when put together like this, aren't able to, you know, have all the necessary, you know, experiences together that helped elevate a team.

我聽他說過的一件很有意思的事，就是在這種情況下，把團隊放在一起，是多麼不常見的事情，當把團隊放在一起的時候，你知道，不能夠有所有必要的，你知道的，經驗，一起幫助提升一個團隊。

And that's what's so intriguing to me about the Utah Jazz, which I'll touch on in a second.

而這也是猶他爵士隊吸引我的地方，這一點我馬上就會說到。

Listen, you know, we saw the tandem of LeBron and Anthony Davis in a series of playoff series when it mattered most, and in those moments where they went to the two man game of Anthony Davis and LeBron James, and they became an impossible check because and it's, you know, Anthony Davis and I said this last year during the finals run.

聽著，你知道，我們看到了勒布朗和安東尼-戴維斯在一系列季後賽系列賽中的串聯，當它最重要的時候，在那些時刻，他們去了安東尼-戴維斯和勒布朗-詹姆斯的兩人遊戲，他們成為了一個不可能的檢查，因為和它，你知道，安東尼-戴維斯和我去年在總決賽期間說過這一點。

I was so confused early last year when Frank Vogel said the perimeter shooting of Anthony Davis in particular three point shot is going to be critical to us winning the championship and think no further than the big time three he had at the hash mark and a critical juncture of a game.

去年年初，當弗蘭克-沃格爾說安東尼-戴維斯的外圍投籃尤其是三分球將是我們奪冠的關鍵時，我就很困惑，再想想他在哈希線和比賽關鍵時刻的大號三分，我就不明白了。

He's just good enough from there where that ability to space the floor uh, so critical to that canned?

他只是從那裡足夠好，其中空間能力呃，如此關鍵的罐頭？

Um, So listen, I listen.

嗯，所以聽，我聽。

He makes a great point, and and that was the team when I did the other podcast, I thought, I cannot believe I'm saying LeBron James and Anthony Davis with tested parts around them won't win it.

他提出了一個很好的觀點，而且當我做另一個播客時，那是球隊，我想，我不能相信我說勒布朗-詹姆斯和安東尼-戴維斯身邊的測試部件不會贏得它。

But that's a hell of a series.

但這是一個系列的地獄。

It's a series I would pay to watch.

這是一個我願意花錢看的系列。

And I'm still signing with the Brooklyn Nets and maybe I'll put a cocktail on it with Jalen Rose.

而且我還在和布魯克林籃網隊簽約，也許我會和杰倫-羅斯一起放上一杯雞尾酒。

I might text him after this.

我可能會在這之後給他發短信。

Oh, listen, then you're going to get off easy, because last year I I bet him a suit, and I cannot begin to tell you what a mistake that was.

哦，聽著，那你就可以輕鬆脫身了，因為去年我給他買了一套西裝，我都不知道該怎麼說了，那是個多大的錯誤。

I lost a suit bet.

我輸了一個西裝賭注。

And let me tell you something, Jalen Rose is an expensive suit.

讓我告訴你，杰倫-羅斯是一套昂貴的西裝。
