On Pack Today Matt Barnes Albert Rare Chris Brusar NBA All-Star Weekend Joy Taber is joining me looks like joy you had a great weekend. I was I was in the wind and rain. I looks like you had a warm weekend.

I had a very nice Valentine's Day.

Little Mexico?

Yes. Or also we know Mexico.

Wow. The you guys are in that stage your relationship is just all fun changes. Yes. That's not planned. I mean, there's still love and stuff. It's just a lot more variables.

Great to have you and everybody. You know, it's funny about. I you know, I've said before I'm divorced and remarried very happy and sports divorces are interesting.

Generally, when you have a big sports divorce. And this is the way it would be great if this always worked in life. Both sides can reasonably claim they won. Remember, Shack and Kobe.

Shack and Kobe broke up. They won three championships. We thought it would be eight. They broke up. But in the end, Shack won a title. Kobe Bryant won two titles. It's pretty good. Right. I mean, Shack went on to have another three or four great years.

He's had a remarkable post NBA career. Kobe won a couple of championships. I was a very good divorce. You know, I'm watching. I'm watching Kevin Neurant and the Russell Westbrook. They had a divorce too.

Has there ever been a more lob sided divorce than that one. Two and a half years after they broke up. Kevin DeRance now got two titles, two MVP finals.

Favorite for a third this weekend. He was named the all star game MVP. It's like he's playing a different game. If he has a great second half, he's getting into that territory that he's being argued now as the best current player in the NBA.

On perhaps the greatest team we've ever seen in the NBA. I think it's probably second to MJ's bulls. And then the last two and a half years, Westbrook did win an MVP.

But has had two ugly first round playoff exits. One where he was imploding with Utah fans. He had another surgery. His shot is completely broken. And his Durant yesterday was winning the MVP in the all star game joyfully having fun.

It's like he's playing a different game. Westbrook was one for eight on threes. And it looked like he stole the MVP from Yannis and gave it to Kevin Durant because Yannis was winning it. Westbrook came in took a lot of shots and killed the momentum for Yannis.

Am I crazy here? This is like as bad as a as a divorce gets in sports. I mean, think about it. Peyton Manning left the Colts. Everybody was freaking out. Yes, Peyton Manning won a Super Bowl.

But the Colts have made the playoffs four times, including one AFC championship with Andrew Luck. And it looks like they got nine draft picks and a hundred and fifteen million dollars in the Annapolis. And Andrew Luck are sat for the next half decade.

I mean Brett Farve and the Packers. Brett Farve went to an NFC championship with Minnesota where he arguably had his best season ever with the Vikings. The Packers went on to win a championship.

So they were fine with Aaron Rogers and Montana in the 49ers. Everybody thought that was going to be the ugliest divorce. Montana got the chiefs to the AFC championship couple of really good years in KC and Steve Young won another Super Bowl title for the 49ers.

But when I watched this K D Westbrook thing.
