| 0:07.7 | The best takes and moments from this week on the show. |
| 0:10.9 | Enjoy. |
| 0:12.3 | So he says, I'm pissed off that I didn't have a better winning percentage individually in the finals, |
| 0:17.1 | but for people to try to turn it into a negative, it doesn't bother me like it did |
| 0:21.1 | when I was younger. Do you think the consensus will ever shift to saying finals losses |
| 0:26.9 | are better than early exits? |
| 0:32.9 | For some, they will, because their favorite player, and for some folks, it's media folks who have based a huge amount of their career over their relationship or deification of Jordan, |

| 2:22.0 | Wizards, somehow dragged them to the playoffs, got them all the way to the finals, only to lose |
| 2:32.1 | to Shaq and Kobe, and now all of a sudden, instead of being 6 and 0 in the finals, he's to Shaq and Kobe and now all of a sudden instead of being six and |
