We all should be rooting for Dallas because who wants an NHL Stanley Cup finals and an NBA

finals that's sort of over after three.

Like if both of these go up, hey Rich, say no more. Dallas, Dallas, Dallas. Let's go. Let's go. Let me text Mark Cuban. Get these guys fired up, Mark. Hey, everybody, you're right. If you're not a Celtics fan, if you're not, you know, a Plurton fan. Yeah, why not extend it keep Keep the fun going. I'm with you. I'm rooting for Dallas tonight. Because then we just have baseball and your occasional Caitlin Clark view before football kicks in. So let's extend this another week or so, shall we? Let's go NBA. Let's go NHL. We got the Olympics coming up. Stretch out of the Olympics And there's a stat. Ready for judo. Golf. There's a stat here in favor of the Mavs. Teams that are favored to win in game three when down 2-0 in the finals are 8-0 since 1993. Wow. Eight and no. So, hey, as Rocky Balboa says, and I follow this in life for real, and it has nothing to do with sunshine and rainbows. Oh, condominiums? I don't use one. No, no, no. It's not a head. Like, absolutely. Yo, hey, yo, Mr. Tiger, none of that. Okay. A couple of coconuts. It's a great way to approach life. because when you should look too far ahead, you get too flustered. It's one step, one punch, one round at a time. One step, one punch, one round at a time. One game at a time. They went tonight. They're right back in it. The reason why I thought Boston might be favored by a little bit, Luca is battling like three different injuries. Yeah. And he's just not himself. And Kyrie obviously does not like going against Drew Holiday. Well, as of now, Kyrie has not hit a three-point shot in the NBA finals. That's got to change tonight. So I think a lot of it has to do with is Kyrie going to be the guy that a week ago we're saying, yo, Kyrie is the old Kyrie we knew. This guy's stepping it up. best back court in NBA history. Now, a sudden it's saying, yo, Kyrie is the old, Kyrie we knew, this guy's

stepping it up, best back court and NBA history.

Now all of a sudden it's like, where'd Kyrie go? So we get him. Speaking of three points, I saw a stat. I saw it on TikTok, so it has to be true. No, it must be. It has to be, it was a meme, so it has to be real. Yeah. They said, what's more shocking to you?

The fact that Shaquille O'Neal took only one three-point shot in his entire career, right? Yeah. Or that JJ Reddick had only one slam dunk in his career. What's more shocking in their entire career? That's a good one. I would say, you're like, what? Really?

That's it? One. They both had one each. One dunk, one three-point shot. With Shax, we should all know if there's only one. Was it a wide open, meaningless moment where Shaq's like, I'll take it. I don't know what the, I've seen it. I just don't know if the moment was, it wasn't like a significant moment. It was just some random shot.

It was like an, I think it was off the glass, too.

I think it was an ugly shot. But it went in. So. So. I mean, now you confuse me. But what's more shocking? I'm going with the fact that Shaq only had one three point shot. J.J. Reddick barely slammed on that shot.

That's a good one. It's a good TikTok hypothetical you found.

So think about it. Anyway, we got Russell Wilson to talk about midweek major.

Am I a grown iPad kid? If we have time, we'll get to all that. If not, you'll hear it on our bonus podcast tomorrow over promise. Well, let's jump into it. As we get ready for the NBA finals, game three tonight, I say go Mavs. Not that I'm a fan, like we said, though, just to make it fun. Like who wants a dog water NBA finals where. Toilet water, bro. Where it's nothing. So let's go Mavs. And we lost an NBA legend.

So I think it's, you know, fair to say a legend, a guy that meant so much to.

I wanted to dedicate our show to him, but I didn't want to put that pressure on us.

Yeah, true, true, true.

Want to honor the legend.
