welcome everybody back into nerd sesh as always I’m Carson breber and alongside me is Logan Camden and today we are joined by three special guests we have the fellas from the deep three podcast today coming on to do some trivia with us so we’ve got Isaac we’ve got Mo and we’ve got Donovan before we get in to how this whole thing is going to work before we get into the trivia how are we doing today fellas doing great man here to here to dominate oh I love that living life and I’m ready to represent let’s do it all right all right love it love it so for those of you who haven’t seen and for you guys who are doing this for the first time we’re going to have three rounds today four questions per round the themes are going to be in honor of each of your teams we have a Lakers theme for Isaac we have a Nicks round for Donovan and then we have a hawks round for Mo Logan and I are going to be basically team captains if you will we have split up come up with the opposing teams questions teams today are going to be Logan is and Mo versus Donovan and I me and Donovan to be grammatically correct before we get into the competition what are we thinking for team names do we have any ideas for team names I don’t know but what I do know is Donovan is our best at trivia the US three and you have like a mentally ill level of knowledge we could split here’s here’s here’s the thing though here’s the thing though right I’m nowhere close to like where you are at trivia so it’s like we honestly might all be equal when it comes to these questions because I’m I’m getting on yeah I’m getting on here and I feel like I should have studied just I feel like I should have spent like an hour on basketball reference before coming on here yeah an hour in the scheme of things though man we’re talking about I’ve got the 10,000 hours in there man I’ve got the illness uh we can change it if you want I mean it’s not going to impact the questions what do we think would what do you guys think would be most Fair no I’ll let you decide it’s your show just let it be known the teams are stacked against us want to Stack team no no no I don’t want excuses no excus no let’s ride let’s ride let’s ride let’s go ahead and do it I like the odds all ODS against this means that if we win the victory will be even greater it be Cavs moment exactly the chip is on my shoulder and I’m riding with it all right all right I mean the baked in excuses to me to me that’s a little weak but hey you know whatever works for you guys okay sewing seeds in the media already I for real planning the narrative it’s sad uh do we have any ideas for team names anything you guys like I was thinking we could be the winners and you guys could be like the losers what do you guys think no I don’t like that at all thinking for us like team neopolitan we have a nice range of right here I me he’s carrying on the allegations crossplatform okay all right team Neapolitan let’s actually do it yeah it’s hilar all right we could stick we could stick with the ice cream theme we can go cookies and cream for us I love it I love it all right let’s do it okay which round do we want to start with how about let’s start with the Hawks round Hawks now you know what let’s go Hawks let’s go Hawks Logan you want to get started all right gentlemen uh the Hawks recently drafted uh number one overall so can you guys name the top five excuse me the five top three picks the Hawks have made since 2000 yeah uh Marvin Williams cook Troy young wait hold up Mo you’re answering our question [ __ ] oh that’s for you guys yeah but you know what he was cooking he was cooking but you were cooking I was I was trying to let the fellas get a head start on it yeah so we have Marvin Williams in ‘ 05 we have trade 2018 we have Pal Gasol in 2000 who was traded oh actually wait you said top three so Trey is not even correct it’s Luka it’s Luka yeah it is LCA in 2018 technically speaking Yeah we have Al Horford in 2007 and we have re bam y’all clean that up well done yeah he cleaned that up I I’m tell you this is going to be a moment this is going to be a moment where it’s like Kobe and quame Browns SC like 87 points you know what I’m saying that’s what today’s really going to be like I mean I was I was trying to let you build some momentum and then next thing I knew Mo was all over the question okay let’s see I appreciate your fandom though yeah for real that’s the passion okay one Atlanta Hawk set a new franchise single season record this year Who was the player and what was the record uh Trey young turnovers in a single season uh it’s not Trey for turnovers hurt yeah it has to so he was hurt for a while so has to be someone consistent Jaylen Johnson was consistent but it can’t be dunks that’s what he does the most but they have clink Capell so it’s not that someone play all year um pretty healthy season Clint is it like bogdon three points made maybe I think it might be bogdon because he had this is one of this was one of his more consistent seasons over the last few years it could be the jontay Murray jontay Murray because was out and Jon had hell usage well he had multiple gamewinners you think maybe it’s most game-winning shots in a franchise year he just had two but I guess it’s the it’s not a high bar for Haw it might be two might be doing it all right so is on the board for sure it has to be deante so do we get one guess at this or how does this work no you guys will get multiple guesses and I will say you have uh identified the right answer but then you went away from it do J Murray game winners no I think it’s bogdon threes I think you guys were on it that’s correct it’s bonov there we go the first thing it’s the first thing I said I got to stick with my gut my my brain doesn’t know but somehow the gut knows let’s do it there we go yeah shout out he’s got those instincts man all right this is kind of a goofy uh list of answers guys but I believe in you can you name every Hawk with a share of the deoy vote since 2,000 yeah with the share so we’ll get dbe of course you do get dbe we’ll get uh my personal favorite Theo Ratliff wow Theo Ratliff you are in the trenches man oh man I live in the trenches bro that’s crazy mental illness listen you it’s a full-on sickness Horford I’m sure got some fraction of the vote at some point Horford is here Jay Smo too just because he was blocking shots like crazy uh Clint has he ever gotten a vote yeah just two to go and they’re by far the strangest names on this list I mean he was okay wait is this is this players to have like a share while they were playing for the Hawks or just like in general and all you need is like 0.001% of the vote so I mean it’s like super marginal listen sabonis got a vote this year so it could be anybody imagine sabonis actually get yeah he did he did there there’s one guy that votes sa bonis on the MVP ballot First Team all NBA ballot and DPI yeah take his take his [ __ ] away man well I’m pretty sure one of big homies yeah basically cuz like he’s a Spanish reporter and arvus was like a legend in Spain so I’m pretty sure he just is like I just love the sabonis family I’m just going to vote this guy for everything okay this is a wild one did we get toari Carroll did he ever get on yes you do you perimeter Defender okay and now we just have one to go Carol got it I feel like never mind I’m help too’s not a bad thought was it too stop yapping wow too actually isn’t a bad guess this guy just doesn’t make sense to me like when I think about his game I don’t really think about defense but he was a good player Kyle cor Jeff okay all right guys SL slow down you took don’t think about def to a whole level I went with this sabonis Theory exactly I mean all it takes is one freak voter to just do something really weird okay you don’t think about defense with this guy maybe because he was they’re in hell right now and I love it did somebody give Paul Milsap a vote somebody gave Paul milap a vot multiple ones too I mean Paul Milsap was a good Defender he’s obviously not deoy caliber but good thoughts on him and let’s go let’s go cleaned that up up okay this is kind of a tough one for you guys I’m not going to lie because it’s about maybe the darkest period in Hawks history from 2000 to 2005 things were not good in Atlanta but they still had three players average 20 points per game in a season during that span who were those players wow during a span things were not good for them mhm I’m sorry what’s the threshold 2000 to 2005 okay I missed that you think Joe Johnson’s in there when did he get drafted no Joe Johnson would have been uh in Phoenix oh you’re right you’re right Joe Johnson’s not in there 25 what’s the points per game though it’s at least 20 yeah I’ll I’ll probably give you some hints with these guys because two of them you do not think of as Atlanta Hawks Jason uh Jason Terry really good thought he averaged like 19 sh ABD rahee yeah Shere is here Sharie is here and I’m not going to lie he’s probably the easiest one on this list this is a tough wow oh yeah that’s not great that’s not great who was on the early Hawks [ __ ] Jamal Crawford I don’t know who is on the Hawks in the 2000 I think we might be fried when it comes to this one thinking about our early 2000s Hawks 200 2002 team is steep for me man yeah you also have like one of the worst teams ever the 2005 Hawks won 13 games and there’s a guy on there there’s a guy on there yeah I have zero idea who was on the 2005 Haw okay all right I I’ll help you guys out a little you have a guy who was productive for quite some time for another Eastern Conference team from like the late 90s early 2000s never efficient like to shoot the ball a lot was in Atlanta for just one year stack no not stack it was some guard not a guard actually Wing chucker from the Eastern Conference is it Antoine Walker Walker that’s what I was thinking I think Walker Walker you say 2000 chucker I think Walker he’s the best if if they had a four point line he would have been pulling from there see but I also didn’t know he was a hawk so that’s why yeah I mean he’s a random Hawk and this last guy is a random Hawk as well but he was a number one pick in Joe Smith the 90s H it’s not Joe Smith I mean that’s a good thought but he just wasn’t ever quite producing like that number one pick in the 90s average 20 in the early 2000s 2003 and then he kind of fell off he retired just like two years after that okay number one pick I don’t know was a number one pick in the 0 Cherry Hawks Manan like Danny Manning no Danny Manning was 89 right Danny Manning was 88 but yeah God who was Danny Manning I’m so fried Danny Manning damn I don’t worry you won’t have to pull Danny Manning damn man yeah I have Mo if you don’t know none of us are going to know our last that this will get Logan this will get Logan ready he’s a dog uh big dog Glenn rice it’s oh oh Glenn Robinson Glenn Robinson Glenn Robinson correct correct okay so he also did not know he was a hawk so there go yeah no I mean those are a couple of those are a couple of like wrong Jersey photos you know when you see a dude that looks unnatural that’s Antoine walk that’s insane trivia question to pull out that’s hilariously specific that is did you make that one up was that you yeah yeah oh yeah the mental illness is shining I know it’s infectious unfortunately I’m trying to spread it but you guys got it good job all right you guys aren’t going to have to get that deep in the bag for these can you name every Allstar for the Hawks since 2000 Donovan I’m gonna let you cook okay so we have Al Horford we have Paul Mo the five who who’s let’s just get the the five out the way that was that was on the team it was T and t corver uh we got Trey young uh Joe Johnson Josh Smith uh who else can you guys believe Josh Smith actually wasn’t an Allstar that’s crazy to me you guys just got two to go that that’s shocking since 2000 I think it’s going to be a couple dudes who we shouted out on the last question do we get both the kembe an Theo Ratliff in the early 2000s not the O Ratliff you do get to kembe really there is one there is one guy that we mentioned though wasn’t I mean all right I I I hate to question the authority of the man asking the question but wasn’t Theo Ratliff an All-Star in 2001 when he was traded from the Sixers to the Hawks no shot I’m gonna be I’m gonna be pretty pissed if anyway either way I think he would have been this guy yeah I don’t know we’ll see uh uh no he was in Philly so take that bro no he was traded 2001 it says he spent all his 2001 in Philadelphia that is incorrect I don’t know he was traded to the Hawks that year he traded for D kbe but anyways bro is bro is disputing basketball reference right now I am basketball reference brother Okay so we’ve got one more I mean who are we oh did deante make it no he hasn’t made not deante not deante no this guy’s uh one of the bigger Throwbacks on the list oh bigger throwback it is share yeah Cal Bears Legend Sharie abdurahim now g-league president how about that comes up on back toback questions yeah yeah okay will you ask us a hawks All-Star question I’m gonna ask you guys another Hawks Allstar question since the merger Atlanta has had five All Star who averaged fewer than 15 points per game in their All-Star season can you name them Al Horford Al Horford is correct correct KY corver is there as well KY corver is there mhm dmbe dmbe is there it’s your boy Theo Ratliff is that why you were so adamant uh no I did not have Theo Ratliff down here which is actually super ironic make mind yeah so he was traded in 2001 but he never actually suited up for the Hawks That season so so you’re right to not count him Logan and he does not count on this list okay so he said we said Horford we’ve said corver and that’s it and you guys got dempe so you have three of the five the two toughest are remaining I would say and they’re in sort did you say since the merger since the merger yeah but you don’t have to Rollins ever an Allstar bro I love that guess so much it’s such a fantastic guess unfortunately tragically even he was not but such for some reason we’ve mentioned tree Rollins on the Pod several times and he a legend I don’t know why I just know his name I don’t know a damn about him other than the fact he’s big and was a great rebounder but I know he existed for the Hawks great shot blocker too speaking of which did like Kevin Willis make an Allstar team that’s a great thought he did but he actually averaged more than 15 a game that season okay but you do have a hawk way back here you have a hawk of like that niek era you do I figure it’s got to be a big man or like a point guard right because if they’re not getting the points threshold it’s got to be boards or it’s got to be assists yeah it’s a good guess for the especially for the Doc Rivers over there doc oh it is Doc Rivers doc Riv is correct go Leist one more be allar that’s crazy was are we missing somebody else from the 2015 team they only had two all stars but Jeff te was there but he averaged more than 15 right was deari Carolin Allstar Junkyard Dog no they were not they were not pushing that level of Hawk SP thank God I was about to say he was the only one but from that era I think they’re done Teague is close he was at just 15.9 Milsap was at just 16.7 like none of those dudes were scoring with volume but yeah they did get over 15 so we got the 80s guy last guy anybody from the 2000s because we just mentioned all those guys we got yeah where you got to K from that Arrow okay is is the last guy pre or post 2000 pre he’s a 90 okay I’ll tell you that ’90s Allstar for the Hawks ’90s Hawk allar okay I love that we started with the Hawks which is like the hardest one by far talk hist like this yeah it’s true yeah not to dunk on your team but for sure when I was coming up with this man it was like you know we got the Knicks we got the Lakers right great irant and then just irrelevant I’m G to hear this name and be like Oh I’m not even mad at didn’t know that so he’s just a guy okay he is a he is a guard Logan had the right kind of thinking with you got to be a point guard a big okay listen you asked me to name pre-2000 Hawks point guards the list starts and stops with Doc Rivers fair fair if there’s one other guy Logan one other H I was going to guess like Rod Strickland I don’t even know if Rod Strickland played with the HW it’s not Rod Strickland I I want Logan to just have been infected is it M Block BL there we go wow there we go and that’s the list shout out to I’m not built for pre2 oh my gosh dude shout out Josh that’s the only reason I remember that cars rain in my brain they’re too well done you guys got it person as a mie blea question on the pot all right look bro maybe my gauge of what is normal is weird yeah man you have a serious itis here this is crazy yeah dude we’re actually going to send Carson off to the psych wward right after put him in Arham all right get me locked up Carson’s Joker Arc um all right guys this one’s super simple true or false question here true or false Trey young has the most turnovers per game of any player in their first six seasons so let’s think about the competition for this Luca honestly is pretty good competition what what sets Trey apart from other high turnover guys like Russ or Harden is how immediately he was like singularly responsible for floating the offense you know his usage from the jump is crazy I think about Reggie Theus he turned the ball over lot he was handling it a lot early in his career what number the first name that pops up number 15 on this list number 15 he said five words in order that nobody has ever said in order before I think about Reggie Theus that’s the history of NBA YouTube podcasting I can’t imagine those words have been said in that order I’m keeping his legac Straight Jackets ready I okay I feel like we should go true I’m with I’m with you yeah I think it’s true yeah only three guys have even been above four Magic Johnson and Luca are with Him Trey young is number one W though with 4.2 man yeah I was going to shout out magic as well you know it’s a it’s a high-risk style that he played yeah all right gentleman he’s not a winner Mo how you feel about that right what’s the next question the next question is actually about Trey and it’s a pretty simple one can you name me the five players who Trey has played the most games with in his NBA career Bon bonov is on there Bon is actually number six that’s crazy what okay well John Collins is there number one the next Ka Leonard DeAndre Hunter Clint is three Hunter is four what was uh what was John Collins number one okay so we’re missing two Clint You’re missing two and you’re missing five two and five de’s not gonna be on there it’s only two seasons bogdon’s not there okay Kevin hder Kevin hder number two nice okay is on there already Ona’s number five cook there we go clean work there we go I can’t believe on there he must get yeah he he got hurt plenty of times yeah yeah there’s a big drop off I mean it’s really like a top six they’re all like 230 plus games and then it’s like 130 is the next dude I think it’s Gallow who’s the next trenches gari man that’s crazy as hell if you have name the top seven it would have took me a little bit to get the ginar I I would have no I know there’s there’s for sure a drop off after that but you know I mean after I’m asking you guys to pull Hawks Glenn Robinson and Hawks Antoine Walker I feel like you know got to let up a little bit lay up yeah yeah yeah get you guys in Rhythm okay Hawks round everybody’s perfect shall we go Lakers Lakers little more tangible for that a little more digestible let’s do it all right man I’m here still I didn’t draw from the call all right Carson you mentioned a real down period for the Hawks in the early 2000s the Lakers are historic great but they also had a playoff drought between 2013 and 2020 can you name the top five leading scorers from the Lakers in that playoff drought yeah Jordan Clarkson will be way up here number one yeah he this is the question that was made for me 2010’s [Laughter] like will’ll have go ahead Nick Young Nick Young is he I think it’s a little late or is he here swagy swag p is three let’s go let’s go uh do we get Randall and bi is two bi is four do we get CZ bam dude that was in order let’s go let’s go that’s it all right well that kind of spoils one question that I had because I have a question about that sort of about a dark period in Lakers history as well because as Logan said of course they’ve won a lot of games can you name the player though to spend at least 200 games with the Lakers who has the worst winning percentage for the franchise luang it’s not walang he doesn’t get to the 200 Jordan Clarkson cook yeah it’s Jordan Clarkson go it’s Jordan Clarkson and I mean the list is like basically everybody we were just saying Nick Young is number two Julius Randle is number three DLo is number six yeah dark times man terrible then listen I became a big basketball fan like 2011 so all I know is dark times until 2020 it was nothing to despair you walked in you watched them get swept by the Mavs get beaten by 36 in game four and then Kobe teres Achilles and then they were terrible the championship years I was like a fifth grader and my mom was like Hey the Lakers won and I had a Lakers hat on I was like nice I’m going back to Pokemon Platinum I didn’t know what was going on uh there were some great times for the Lakers when Kobe around though man and can you guys name the top 10 teammates Kobe played the most games with for sure all uh Derek fiser number one we got Shaq Shaq is two Rober odori Oria 6 good pull we’ll have bham and pow here for sure and Lamar odm yeah bidam is 10 uh odm is three we get Rick Fox yeah Rick Fox is number five so all you guys are missing are number four number seven and number eight a gun to his head to get this right I’m trying so hard I’m trying to contribute to the team it’s all good bro no pressure no PR blink twice if you need help man promise my psychosis is only a me problem I’m not going to hurt you if you don’t get the rig Fox guest right there’s a saw trap above his head oh you know who’s going to for sure be here Devon George that man played with the L forever what a disgusting pull yes number eight you know who that is Isaac I know the name do I know any identifiable traits of his game not really do you know what he looks like’s not much to identify he was there like all the way from 2000 to 2009 I I don’t know why they kept him around so long but they did okay I mean a there’s a lot of turnover on the three peat teams like ran Shaw did with KOB enough to be here don’t need to look that far back anymore this is uh you’re just missing four and seven these guys were on a different iteration of a Lakers team uh damn I was about to guess he I don’t know is Jordan Farmar here wow I was not expecting the Jordan Farmar shout you are gonna have to get a little weird for these guys for sure Laker loyal Laker yes dude Luke walon is number four that’s a great call so we got Luke on there that was a good call he was there forever different iteration what number do we need left we just have seven just miss a number seven and I believe this guy won at least one Championship with LA it’s not meta is it he wasn’t there long enough Ron Artest he is I believe 11 or 12 on this list yeah is it Trevor arza not Trevor arza that’s a good guess he was there for a title team I feel like so I’m G give him some of a hint is it a wing I think I know who it is is it Shannon Brown man I thought you were gonna say it it’s not I know who it is he was close is it s Sasha vuic oh Sasha good P call good call yeah yeah yeah and Vlad Rod manovich probably not far off the list shout out they had the slamic you just you just wanted to say that name who doesn’t love Vlad Rod Movic who you te is a good call also know that one don’t worry guess Farmar first off the list second off Brian Shaw third off and all right your boy Vlad top 10 off yeah we were working we were working the perimeter there all right good work Donovan clean okay can you guys name me every head coach for the Lakers since 2000 all right so Phil yep Luke Walton yep Frank vogle Darvin ham yes so those are all correct of course Mike Brown Mike Brown mhm there’s there’s some interim here when guys got fired I’m not going to remember so that’s where it’s going to kill us yeah I’m not Rudy tomjanovich cook I mean I think that’s the hardest name on the list I’m not I’m not counting interims who took over mid season thank God thank God cuz it was I think I I like brown got fired for like 10 games or something I don’t know who came in after that yeah no there’s some real randos let’s see who the real randos on this Mike donon Danton correct good poll and uh what’s the guy from the tanking years bald guy Byron Scott Byron Scott man and now just one more and it is no no no it’s the easiest one who’s their coach Jackson who’s their coach right now oh right now oh JJ reic yeah there you okay it’s work Isaac that was clean ISO seriously no no shout out unfortunately to Frank Hamlin who took over during the 2005 season for Rudy Rudy lasted 43 games man he had the Adrien Griffin that’s tough but yeah yeah and that’s what I only know him as being a disaster yeah before my time yeah real all right guys I just asked you about Kobe’s teammates we’re not going to stick just with the Lakers for this one can you guys name the teammate Shaq played the most game with uh games with in all of his stops across the association the teammate singular number one so for each team so for Orlando I to say uh Kobe Bryant uh okay Orlando is going to be Nick Anderson I’m pretty sure yeah that’s correct yeah much healthier than Penny crazy only only AO wouldn’t say penny Hardway you got to think man Penny joins a year later and he’s hurt a lot Lakers is obviously going to be Kobe heat I mean dwade was hurt a lot but I still think it’s him I think dwade is second is it Alonzo Morning Noto this one’s a pretty intuitive one just just in terms of this guy was there it’s it’s you that man is available as hell he’s always been that okay being there he is that yeah uh Sons Nash Nash is second by literally one game I mean I never want to guess Amari but Amari was actually pretty healthy I feel like for the year and a half the Jack was there it’s not him is it it’s not Amari that’s not a bad guess he’s uh number three is it Grant Hill yes dude good pull wow it is Grant Hill another dude who after his injuries was really available for a long time Cavs LeBron yep Celtics kg wow three acceptable answers kg is not up here Paul Rondo Paul Pierce Rondo yeah Paul Pierce is correct also accept Ray Allen and big baby Glenn Davis uh well done man you guys clean that up big baby light work okay I love this question with a minimum of 800 field goal attempts can you name me the top five leaders in field goal percentage for the Lakers someone who’s knocking [ __ ] down wow like where does 800 come from oh it’s there for a reason it’s there for a very specific reason yes uh Shaq is four Kareem is five 800 okay so what does 800 look like roughly is that like a not a lot Andrew bam Andrew B him is number six 800 is not a lot so think about it if you average 10 shots a game just for one season wait what were you saying is javil McGee on there no shot m is number one I as the question has to be he’s why I asked the question I mean the other one of the other ones is really easy the other one is white Howard also on there number two so now yeah I thought I think number three is makes a lot of sense pal so Anthony Davis oh ad is very close he’s in the top 10 it’s not pal no she’s too many jumpers you’re right so it’s gon to be another dunker like that uh bam bham was number six and how is also very close he’s number 11 so to recap we have javil Dwight Howard Blank and then the two legends mhm so we’re looking at another who was another big man that was just there catching [ __ ] Carson Carson wants us to get Roy Hibert or like Robert sakur man no they don’t meet the minimum anyways yeah people that are actually like up threats 800 Andre drumman wasn’t there long enough and also Andre drumman can’t make a l to save his life this guy is the furthest throwback on the list oh the F throwback so pre Kareem before K yeah wil oh yeah there you go how at this stage in his career wi was just taking the easy efficient shots it’s crazy he has the single season true shooting percentage record for the Lakers franchise he said in 1973 when like League average true shooting was you know like 10 points lower than it is today close to that crazy bro I think isn’t a modern leader like darre Jordan so like it’s pretty easy to set of no it is it’s yeah it’s like gobear is way up there Mitchell Robinson always his way up there it’s just the simple play finishers but yeah still you look on the list and somehow Y is top 10 it’s a bunch of L than yic he get Steph Steph led the league twice which is crazy um speaking of alltime legendary players for the Lakers can you guys name every MVP ever to suit up for La oh yeah baby I’m gonna start in a sick Place 1975 MVP Bob McAdoo we go is correct Shaq magic LeBron mhm um what what other these guys yes Wilt M we were just discussing trying to think is the question that they won the MVP in a Lakers uniform or they won it anytime don’t have to just is they won the award I think you guys are just missing three yeah uh Russell Westbrook MH who else are we going to have in recent years I’m sorry to do this to you guys I’m not I’m to do this to us I think I know who it is and I’m glad I’m not the one answering this question did oh so this is George mik never win MVP they didn’t have it yet yeah he would have won it like every year but they hadn’t invented it yet all right well I’m just going to start going through all the MVPs since its Inception I’m going to think you guys fill the air and we’re GNA we’re going to find this sucker out wow this one’s very easy and Donovan can’t answer it you said I can’t answer it no you made a vow made a vow Target on your chest not what you going to do about it the three of us have a vow so you just got you just got to be Qui bad my bad yeah oh that’s unbreakable vow I’m contractually obligated I can’t I can’t question what is going on here I’m sorry oh yeah we the biz like to refer to this guy the fifth man we and the biz like to refer to this guy yeah yeah nasty man 30 32 number number 32 yeah that is correct that is correct and that’s the list that’s the list yeah well guess what couldn’t get his ring ring Chaser couldn’t get his ring elzo sucks to suck El boo okay gentlemen last question here since 2000 there are 11 players who have averaged 15 points per game for the Lakers not like just in one season over their Lake Akers career they’ve averaged 15 points per game who are those players all right LeBron Anthony Davis Kobe Bryant sha yep well how how many you say 15 seven more 11 total oh 11 total that’s a big number oh yeah 15 points per game is the Julius Randall Julius Randall is actually not quite here he’s at 13.5 I bet is Brandon Ingram just above it Brandon Ingram is just below it he’s at 13.9 there C is probably Bel here DLo who is just above it actually this is po yep number five LeBron sha and Kobe are all exactly tied at 27 flat by the way which is kind of cool that’s crazy is is like is is Lou Will here Lou Will is here Logan number seven wow okay oh is Russell Westbrook here number six yeah who would have thought so you guys just have two to go yeah did you did you guys already get Binum I didn’t say bam because he had some wash years but those wash years are in the six years maybe it is bhum it’s not buying him actually cuz he was also with the Lakers from so young you know he has a couple years where he’s like barely in the rotation early mhm really just one over 15 points it’s over 15 points per game right yeah yeah okay I I think the same thing kind of applies to Swaggy P like I know he led one year but I don’t think he’s going to be over probably somebody who’s only here for a small amount of time correct that like is Dennis schroer here o that’s a really good dot dude he’s 13.9 you will have to look look a little further back but you’re right both these guys only spent one season with the Lakers there you go is nasty man no he wasn’t averaging 15 was he no luckily not but he was kind of close he’s at 13 El boo El Bozo fraud is is Glenn rice here yes Logan okay he sure is he’s number eight the last guy was just in a very brief transitional period for the Lakers really good play BR average 15 oh it’s not Brooke that’s not a bad thought transitional period Dwight Howard not Dwight either actually he never 15 that year let’s see what did Dwight average that’s crazy that is kind of crazy Lakers Dwight oh you know what he’s brought down by when he came back yeah2 2022 okay because he did average 17 in 2013 that makes sense yeah okay who else was in this I feel like this this a modern era like 2010 and Beyond player no actually it’s the transitional period before that oh we’re going to have to get like into the week6 or something yeah that 2005 was the season 2005 who was there when they ship Shack out he was very much a part of that was it Marc assol uh not Marc assol that was a Eddie Jones It’s Not Eddie Jones this guy was tra Che get traded for I forget I don’t remember the trade package he only spent one season with the Lakers this a crazy brain for I do not remember who he got traded for then he went to another Eastern Conference team made an All-Star team there actually this is big man okay to wing wing that went to an Eastern Conference team in an all stri right after Karan Butler Karan Butler tough team good okay

Nicks Legend on any of these questions you know what person I got that exact question for you man you’re going to have to get deep in there for a couple of these answers can you guys name the top 10 high fix question okay I did not ask a ray Felix question a what a sicko lock him up free you guys name m the 10 highest single season scorers by points per game for the Knicks and so I I emphasize scores so it’s not the individual Seasons so one name uh per spot on the list yeah number one is BK Bernard King is number one I I included a couple sicko answers just for you Carson I got you bro here’s the first one Richie Garren is way up here yes Richie Garren is number two all diabolical po we’ll get Pat Yuan out the way Patrick is here we’ll get Carmelo out the way Carmelo’s correct get Brunson of course and we’ll get I’m pretty sure Julius Randall for his fake 25 Point per game you guys are perfect so far I mean bro don’t make me pull out Willie nulls is Willie nulls on this list yes number eight number eight yeah or number nine excuse me this is the sicko exam at that point did let’s see Latrell or alen Houston either one of them Houston I bet those are good guesses neither of them are here actually you guys are just missing three two Throwbacks we don’t get Bill cart right here do we not bill cartright was very close yeah he averaged like 21.7 I want to say sounds like the lights are too bright right now oh yeah oh yeah no I’m sure they are I’m sure you didn’t answer one question right about the Hawks don’t don’t talk to me about who he actually he actually did but it was for us that’s true that’s true uh I mean I am thinking about 50s next I’m not going to lie to you I don’t think any of them are you don’t need to you don’t need to get I was gonna guess Harry gallin bro just know that I have that ready to fire at a moment’s notice all right Carson I need you to name every member of the 1955 Nick watch uh Bob McAdoo will be here Bob McAdoo is putting up numbers with the Knicks number five so all you guys are missing is number seven and number 10 one of these guys a legend certainly for the franchise oh Clyde Frasier correct number 10 but Willis Reed is not going to be here Willis Reed isn’t this guy was a big deal when he came to town ear the Pearl no he wasn’t not ear the Pearl modern answer modern answer this guy oh Omari Omari Omari in 2011 had over 25 a night and that is the list man I always forget about how awesome Nick Samar I was when he was actually healthy what a baller I love that guy okay for you guys can you name me every top 10 pick the Knicks have made in the last 20 years every top 10 pick every top 10 pick all right well let’s start with Kevin Knox and uh who the [ __ ] is tingis Pingus there correct Frank Nina uh no barani was the Raptors drafted him uh Frankie french fries is here Frankie french fries okay Frankie french fries and Kevin Knox legendary back toback top 10 picks I’m trying to think this top this is top 10 or top five top 10 RJ RJ RJ is here yeah RJ Barrett who’s around so that was 2019 who’ they pick around that who was 2018 that was Kevin Knox correct it’s 2017 you’re missing the most recent one actually you got 2017 that’s Frankie franch fries okay okay miss the most recent One MH so 2020 uh no no way Deuce went Deuce didn’t go that high no de second round pick 2020 who 2020 draft pick why I draw bra they took quickly in 21 he was later though late first round I think who did they pick the year after RJ why is this so difficult oh OB toppin OB to toin yes sir his name is obia yeah his name is obia that’s hard wow that’s hard tough man okay you you have the three earliest now is uh is Channing fry here you sick [ __ ] yes that’s the hardest one for sure bro that’s my dog right there I have infected you bro yes number eight in 2005 okay is is the this back he’s the farthest back oh is uh Gallow is gallari here yes and now this guy I actually think is easier than those two I was trying to think of the Carmelo trade because they gave up uh is it Wilson Chandler it’s not Wilson Chandler um this guy is a famous Nick’s draft pick for the wrong reason Ray oh I was gonna say Raymond Felton uh no Raymond Felton’s a legend All right so who did Stephen A Smith rant about you know that’s that’s a way to think about it you can’t commit two post moves to memory for the wrong reason I don’t know what year this is I I’m I’m blinking on the name but I know exactly who you’re talking about what who was the Nick’s draft bus oh uh oh damn I was going to say honia bro uh but that’s Orlando no no it’s earlier than that okay so 2014 was chrisop so it’s before that they weren’t that bad for a while so it’s got to be just before the Camelo trade right yep so it’s 09 or 10 09 oh it’s uh it’s Jordan Hill right it’s Jordan Hill after Steph oh yeah I wouldn’t have guessed pick after Steph and then he played like 20 something games for the Knicks and then they already moved off of him tough times tough times car Carson I I hate to spoil this uh only reason I knew that was because I came up with a with a question involving uh homie from 05 so I did not know that off the D because I prepped a question okay all right all right to ruin my mque I mean bro you kind of just deducted like several thousand Aura points from yourself that you would just your sicko AA was emanating through the screen and now it’s kind of like I’m not that I had to get it off me dude I I can’t go with you to the psych word man one of us has to be roaming free that’s fine bro I’ll run off them guys the Nicks drafted one of my favorite players uh Emanuel quickley in 2021 who came out the gates averaging 11 points per game so can you guys name the five rookies to average 11 or more points per game for the Knicks since 2000 I wonder if Channing fry might be here dude I don’t know how you got there Channing fry 06 uh is the farthest name back on this list and I’ve already marked off IQ for you guys so no need to get him that’s nice of you dude thank you four more to go KP would be number one KP 2016 RJ RJ just two to go the funniest names on this list the reason I asked this question dude I cannot believe Nick’s fans I cannot believe I cannot believe Nicks fans got fired up on this guy dude shooting 37% one of the worst Tweets in NBA Twitter history by one of the never mind I go that far talk about oh wait the 37% from the field when I hear 37% from the field I think Kevin Knox yes like why were people so high on Kevin Knox summer league Legend bro Don were you ever high on Kevin Kno if you saw him in June I I I Tred not to buy jerseys I was on the verge of buying a Kevin Knox Jersey dude wow I never liked Kevin Knox man so I I check it’s not my question so I checked I see why you said 11 because I thought it was Alonzo Trier but he’s 10.9 that that was that was literally my next guess such a bucket this guy only played this guy only played about I think I think 45 games uh his rookie season but he does meet the threshold interesting sky was also inefficient sub 40% from the field and I’m still thinking about Alonzo Trier over here bro I don’t mean to be mean to this guy the only discernable trait that I think this guy has is that he’s like kind of busted he’s like a little bit busted damn bro he’s homely a little bit a little bit oh that’s what you mean that’s crazy it’s just only discernable traits wow I don’t know God I would hate to be this guy all rookie team this guy that year man his his biggest accomplishment uh was the Nick starter or was wasn’t the Nick starter was the Nick starter that rookie season and then played one more year in New York in 2016 breaking news James wisman just signed with the Pacers which is hilarious oh my God two deal with the Pacers oh he wearing a forget the trivia bro we got to do the Wiseman live reaction shout out him getting a job yeah seriously the other spots I remember this guy Detroit is probably the other spot I remember him most with Detroit you’re gonna have to get a little funky with this answer bro that’s what that’s what I love to do I love getting funky with it uh the fact that the only discernable trait we have is ugly is crazy I know cuz that just throws off my train of thought where if maybe I would have got to that point but now I’m like who is not attractive and now this guy went to went to St Joseph’s I don’t know if that’s going to help you at all St Jose huh that’s a pretty distinct that throws me further off I I have no idea where people go to college I mean I’m surprised that it hasn’t come to me at this point this guy was a guard point guard 61 smaller guy uh let me see if I can I the 37% judger memory for Kevin Kevin Knox let’s see if the stat line will get you guys going I mean Kevin Knox is just alltime chucker legendary chucker this guy shot 39% from the field 35% from the line three assists per game 35 from the line point line right or no my yeah three-point line my bad my bad oh my God I was smacked he putting up Ben Wallace numbers bro 35% from free throws crazy that was I might be able to do better than that I keep thinking about 38-year-old legendary rookie Pablo Pion can’t get him off my mind this guy could be in the league today he’s young enough he’s just 33 uh but he has sadly shipped over he’s been shipped over to Italy since so this guy sucks he can’t hit a free throw and he’s ugly this is his resume according to Logan also also played in uh also played in Phoenix also played in Indiana he’s bounced around man but you would remember him in Detroit and New York for sure what year is you drafted we do that yeah was undrafted this guy was not drafted I was gonna say I feel like in Detroit a guard in Detroit this is crazy I think you guys might have your first L yeah oh never bro this is if you guys get I feel like it’s smooth sailing after this man if you guys pull this guy the rest of the names on my two questions are easier I refuse to lose bro okay made his debut in 2015 2015 is this uh is this Langston Galloway oh my gosh it is Langston Gall let’s go good pull Donovan let’s go wow basketball reference up I’m calling your lie right now no bro that’s an alltime pull that’s a clutch play we needed that we needed that bad okay let’s go to the Melo era in Nick’s history can you guys name me the five teammates who Melo played the most games with in New York five teammates Raymond Felton Raymond Felton’s actually just off this list tough man Tyson Chandler chumper is three Chandler’s four then jar J Smith is number two okay Amari is Amari one number one wow I’m surprised Amari was that healthy yeah did we get five we still waiting for that is this is this barani it’s not barani is this another white shooter uh he may be of the Caucasian Novak countenance no that’d be hilarious is this why you were thinking about about p is a Pion God yeah dude I shouldn’t have said that it is probably he’s number five yeah I was just hoping was no back I don’t even remember what year he got drafted or not drafted but what year he went there yeah he was there no I mean he’s not a bad guest he played two full seasons with the the Melo Knicks how many years is PA Pablo a Nick let’s see he played 170 games with mow so it was at least three years but I think it might have just been yeah it was well two and a half years really and then that was kind of it for him in the league then they said bro please retire I think about all those shooters from that era man like the dudes who were just strictly spot up like how they would look in the league today like you guys think Steve Noak could be like an Allstar bro they just let him pull brother what if they just if they just let him get like eight attempts a night man like no Allen you’re thinking of Ryan Anderson bro Ryan Anderson Steve Novak come on also he would not be able to guard at all in the modern NBA you have Steve no try to guard like Chad hren or some other big on the exactly yeah especially cuz like he’s a straight up four like he’s obviously not holding down the five so he’s having to guard Wings in space he’s getting brutalized yeah team no back go check Jason [Laughter] Tatum that’s a fair point I should have thought a little bit before I opened my mouth all right podcasters can’t be NBA head coaches Logan you’re keeping the stigma alive think would have been an Allstar maybe if he got more touches dude he said they wouldn’t let him I don’t they said he would they wouldn’t let him pull man they said he had to pass the ball first all right guys this off season we found the world’s first Steve Novak Stan M I was just soft launching the take bro I had to run it by you guys first bad off launch unsuccessful this offseason guys the Knicks paid the bag to OG and Macau Bridges and if they last the entire length of the contract they will be on this list can you guys name the top five highest paid Nicks of all time so this is career earnings and they had to actually secure it it can’t be like a current contract that isn’t fully paid out correct and uh it is just contract money with the N yeah yeah Melo number one yeah I mean I think Ying will be here but money was so much less because he played so long Ying is number three this is this is our question all right so yeah Melo Yan somebody it has to it has to be like people modern just because the money is crazy yeah yeah I mean it like 90s is the earliest you could go I for some reason I want to guess Allen Houston because he got paid but I did he get paid this dude Allen Houston is number two he got like a famously fat contract at the time he got like five years 90 million or something and that was like Wow insane it made him like one of like the two or three highest paid dudes in the league six years 100 million man six years 100 yeah big old contract they gave Eddie Curry a pretty big contract too I don’t think that he’s getting on this list dude I think if we give the Dual big look in New York a couple more years under Isaiah Thomas L cam takes everybody Lon Galloway stock pitch dude if they just gave him some more touches he could have been an Allstar is Randle already on this list I think he probably is randle’s not a bad guess he isn’t here already wow wow randle’s not here that’s crazy yeah I mean he’s still not even on a mega contract he’s making like he’s making under 30 million but I I thought he would be here okay you just got to think who lasted long enough not these guys weren’t Nicks that long they did get they did get paid fat though uh it makes sense one of these guys signed as a free agent in both of these guys signed as free agents in the 2000s we don’t get Tyson Chandler here do we not Tyson 2000s it’s too early for Tyson and like let’s see I can’t remember because I know am mari’s deal was was big but I don’t know know if he got fully paid out but I’m going just guess Amari guess Amari is number four good call you guys are just missing number five uh I don’t think stayed in the league very long after the end of his contract uh New York was last up okay interesting because I was thinking about some of the 2000s ni you got like Zebo you got Jamal you got David Lee none of them are really there that long this is his last stop he made one stop where he played 24 games at after New York but he was there for five seasons kind of a bad stylistical fit you know I talk about Eddie Curry this just makes no sense man the the fifth that the Knicks were trying to trot out in the back it’s not cambi is it not cambi no this is a funny backcourt in terms of like these guys basically did the exact same thing skill set wise oh classic Nicks the Stefan Steve Francis it’s F Marbury nice it’s Mary good starbur good call good call should have gone starbury sooner he uh Nick’s Legend shout out all right so we asked the question about the Lakers player with the worst winning percentage can you guys name me the Knicks coach with the worst winning percentage in franchise history has to be Isaiah it has to be Isaiah right it’s not Isaiah bro in fact Isaiah is actually number eight it gets worse if you can believe it in Nick City D David fizdale cook bro wow I really thought you were GNA go Derrick fiser before that David fdale David fizdale 21 and 83 bro Legend I think I’m 0 for two on the show today though so I’ll just go ahead and let it go dude I thought David fizdale was goingon to be a good coach man I liked him in uh take that Memphis dude when he got fir remember there was like outrage there was like fake steeven with outrage like oh you got to give him a chance and all this yeah crazy angles they were taken whole time the guy just stinks bro and it’s all because like he had one quote I swear if he never said take that for data like Stephen wouldn’t even know who he was man well to go back to a time when the Knicks were really good uh they’re finally contenders for the first time in a long time we’re going to have to look a little back though can you guys name every double digigit score in the Knicks 99 playoff run when they last went to the finals we’re going to have Latrell pretty sure he L them in the playoffs we’re going to have Alan Houston we’re going to have Ying even though he gets hurt uh I’m thinking about some of the dudes who would not have been in double digits I know Kurt Thomas started some Charlie Ward started some they’re definitely not up in double digits we are going to have uh Starks oh not Starks actually we are gonna have uh one of these guys I don’t oh Larry Johnson Grandma of course bam and one of these guys I don’t associate with this era of Nicks basketball but he was there I don’t want to throw you off because this is normally the the Doom hint uh you did just guess him recently for a question I know we’ve guessed a lot of players so I don’t want to throw you up the trail but okay you just mentioned Oh Marcus cambi it’s Marcus cambi and that’s the L there we go light work all right gentlemen we’re going back to that era of Nicks basketball one more time can you name me every player who appeared in more playoff games in the 1990s than Patrick Ying no wow it’s not it’s not that long of a list he is number 10 and he’s actually tied for ninth so there’s only eight dudes above him Reggie Miller uh Reggie Miller is uh not here Logan I’m not gonna lie to you uh number 32 number 32 is number three Stockton yeah Ty for Oh I thought you were saying players on the Knicks the oh no no no sorry sorry across the NBA that’s easy okay Michael Jordan Michael Jordan is two SC is all the whole Bulls Scotty’s one Dennis Rodman Dennis Rodman is a is AEM there uhem is actually not here he’s number 19 on this list Barkley okay o Chuck is number 22 Dam mhm what about uh Gary pton GP is uh not in the top 25 wow wow yeah okay I mean they’re not bad guesses yeah uh Drexler yeah number seven okay oh what about um just missing five and six what about Cliff Robinson oh dude I love the Uncle Cliff guess so much he’s actually not here though he’s number 20 five Mullen no the team’s probably sucked that’s not well but he was on the Pacers at the end but he’s not here MH okay who we shout out Run TMC though electric who are we missing it’s hard to visualize the list we we just spewed off so many names uh yeah so David Robinson oh not David Robinson that is not a bad guess do we have anybody else from the teams that we’ve already named you do is it gonna be like Ron Harper or like not Harper Co coach not Co coach C there for the second half Steve Cur is number 11 Horus Grant number five there we go is number six also a [ __ ] bull he’s not a bull but he is a member of a team who you guys have already guessed Stockton did we say him horn Stockton horn hor Jeff Horn number six there we go gentlemen cleaned it up so uh I guess everybody’s a winner today participation trophy nonsense no Cutthroat Killer Instinct these days these kids have no mama mentality sad uh but no we all deserve to be winners you guys did really well today you guys did very well Mo Isaac described you as a a fool he said
