there it is big thanks to this group for buying your team no fillers in this either appreciate that just sold it out straight up here on 222 2022 Ryan with that last Bob Mojo Washington wizards so we've got six boxes on the back six boxes right there so we'll just roll the die we'll go one two three for that six box group and four five six for this six box group right here we're gonna select we'll select that red die matches the color of the box and it's one so we'll go left side to this side we will save for next time so this is break 13 so let's mark this 14 so we know that they're from the same case just set those down there for now all right box one good luck Logan saying uh Logan saying crypto fine looking visit I didn't I've not looked good to the to the moon Simon looking for a numbered Yanis that'd be nice I'm finally glad that I'm finally I'm happy that we're finally diving into this new draft class I enjoyed I enjoyed our time with Lamello and Anthony Edwards among others in 2020 2021 products but I was ready I'm ready to start seeing some new faces so I'm glad we're there although I'm sure we'll still we'll still dive into some of last year's products last season's products as well in fact I think we got flawless basketball up right now we can still work on that I think we're having that delivered to us tomorrow jazz rookie still staying that's because the jazz are drafting too low because they're too good yeah Logan your jazz are too good not getting good draft spots it's not like they're getting top five picks and we got Scotty Barnes he's having a nice season 73 out of 999 that's for Cody and the Toronto Raptors spellbound die cut LeBron Jane for the Lakers let me grab a container for this break here there's Anthony Simon to 99 and a redemption and he guesses on that redemption for bragging rights we got for the jazz speaking of the jazz 539 out of 999 Jared Butler it'll be for Corey and we've got a green die cut 8 out of 17 Dennis Schroeder for the Celtics Patrick Davis how many teams do I believe truly tank to get the number one pick I'm sure sure there's gotta be at least a few teams especially especially in like the last like week of the season if there's like you're like a few games left and you've got a chance at getting better odds for the number one pick and I'm sure some teams might might feel sort of weaker lineups on it on any given day there's Jeff Malone for the Washington bullets that'll go to Ryan and the Wizards but tanking is a little risky in basketball because just because you have the worst record doesn't mean you're guaranteed the number one overall pick there's still a sort of lottery process to figure out who gets there so you could you could tank and then you know still not benefit from that so and now that the increase the number of playoff teams involved too I think that's got to cut into some of the the tanking narratives as well all right we got it Zion elite signature Zion Williamson pelicans Minsu next box I know yeah it's like Zion doesn't exactly Logan Logan's like like Zion doesn't have the time yeah come on Zion sign your cards what are you doing that redemption should have been in the product I feel like Brandon what's he been doing all year his hand his hand isn't hurt right you still sign it's not like his hands hurt so lower body injury they give these guys ample amounts of time to autograph these cards and send them back in for products isn't sometimes a contract thing with the redemptions I guess it I guess it could be but I don't think they would even put them in the product if if there was a contract issue with him and panini do I consider Zion a bust I feel like he's always injured I I generally try not to put a bus tag on players who are injured because that's just like what are you gonna do you know I consider bus like the player was highly touted and had plenty of minutes to start and wasn't injured and just didn't do well and just didn't play you know and just didn't put up the points or put up the stats that that's what I think is a bust it's hard it's a little harsh to say like oh he's injured he's a bust that's tough in my opinion I mean I'm sure other people will say hey you get injured you don't perform your bust but it's a little harsh there's one at Toscano Anderson nice 142 out of 210 for the warrior Sean Maddox yeah I saw that I actually I only heard about it I didn't actually read the article all I know Oliver was at JJ Reddick called out Zion and saying that he didn't he didn't even reach out to to see Jim McCollum when he was traded to the Pelicans was John Marant to 99 that'll be for Memphis Minsu and I think I think there's Doug McDermott for the Spurs Impact Impressions autograph I think Zion's in Portland too I think he's at the Nike facility Spurs Jonathan Griffin yeah I guess I guess most of his his issues are due to are due to it are they due to it probably the correlation is certainly there I'm not sure if medically they're actually doing it's actually the case but I'm sure has something to do with it this Franz Wagner to 999 Orlando Korra well I'm rooting for Zion I hope he I hope he figures it out you know be good for the hobby good for the Pelicans yeah the dunk contest wasn't that great I don't know they're gonna have to reconfigure the dunk contest or just have the dunk contest be the middle event have the three-point contest close out the Saturday night there's Dennis Schroeder to 17 that'll be for Patrick Davis in the Celtics and there's Corey Kispert for the Wizards on-card autograph for Ryan Harold last Bob Mojo that's 82 out of 149 I mean I feel like all the players had like potentially amazing dunks it just kind of wasn't executed very well the pace of it all the extra chances the pace of it was seemed to be a little lackluster the energy wasn't really that up the crowd didn't seem to be really fired up they seem to be a little quiet so I don't know they're gonna have to rework that somehow yeah I agree that's a good point I think we touched upon that too it's just like how much more can we do in the world of dunking I think they even mentioned it in the broadcast they're like you need to do something you need to kind of up the level on like showmanship or add some more theatrics or a theme or something like that you know to this to this event to make it a little more exciting and encourage kind of more of that yeah I feel like the production is a little weird on the dunk contest too right Logan it just seems a little haphazard like there's no there's like no director for it's just kind of like all right go I guess start dunking and I think the easiest thing for now without completely overhauling the dunk contest maybe you just you just switch the order on on Saturday night I think you I think you just switch the order right exactly yeah yeah the the members of the you know the people in the dunk contest you know are also sort of I mean like if you had like John Moran and Anthony Edwards in the dunk contest I think I think that would have got some more eyeballs on or some more raise the level of excitement there but some of the key the key dunkers are aren't even in the aren't even in there there's Josh Christopher to 210 so here's a Yanis letter I 42 out of 49 the first I in Yanis that'll be for the Bucks it's gonna go to Simon Tyrese Maxi to 99 and Tony Parker 27 out of 35 Rex is saying yeah like with the home run derby at least you can hit a ball further every time there's Tony Parker autograph for the Spurs Jonathan with the Spurs I don't know I see I don't compare the home run derby to the to the dunk contest the dunk contest is or the home run derby is more like the the three point contest a display of a display of power in the sense that you know while the three point contest is a display of accuracy you know there's nothing the dunk contest they want you to be creative you know there's not too much creativity in a home run or a three-pointer just the feet itself is exciting that's what the done that's the problem with the dunk contest it's like creativity you know is is the thing and that's been a little lacking in recent years I think they should just close out with the three-point contest for now and then then eventually it'll figure out how to reconfigure the dunk contest you know maybe just you can have a few down years of dunk contest there's that year willings 999 and then maybe naturally it'll grow back to a premiere event these things ebb and flow yeah and the other thing they were saying the broadcast brand and I remember was that um a lot of a lot of the commentators a lot of the broadcasters the x players are talking about how some of these guys were like more in-game dunkers as opposed to as opposed to maybe just dunking outside of the actual outside of the rhythm of the game and that's a thing too just different levels of adrenaline during a game on the run you know with a teammate or two running the floor that could be a little different there's one 22 carousel avert die cut for the Pacers that'll be for Jeremy another idea I had was was I feel like they should they should be what if you change the dunk contest to an amateur event you know what if what if the NBA what if the NBA you know hey there's JJ eretic Dallas edition or just talk about what if the NBA scouts like some of the best dunkers uh best amateur player dunkers out there you know have them compete for a prize or something like that there's JJ eretic Dallas Mavericks Chris with the maps I think that'd be fun to see some of the best unknown talent you know show off their dunks you know maybe there's like some sort of competition ladder that they can go climb to get to the NBA all-star game they show off their dunks you know maybe maybe compete for for like cash prizes maybe a 10-day contract with a g-league team or something like that I think that'd be kind of cool right yeah well after drawing switch hands in a game what more can be done to them what does that mean right switch hands in a game the best dunker in the last 20 years that's a that's that's a lot of that's a lot of players I mean currently John Morant pretty good dunker yeah Vince Carter there you go especially younger Vince Carter maybe the early part of those last 20 years yeah Vince Carter is probably the right answer Kobe eight maybe not maybe not kb-24 but kb-8 had some pretty nice dunks he was a good dunker of the young guys today Anthony Edwards John Morant Jalen Green they've got some they've got some really nice in-game dunks that are pretty amazing I know what you're talking about when he's going up for a layup he goes up with one hand and goes up with the other hand that was a pretty good move I mean there's been some that's a pretty good move but there's been some other there's been a lot of other wow moments beyond that there's Trey Mann to 210 okc Sean Maddock there's been a lot of basketball since then Rex there's Alvin Robertson impact impressions autograph for Jonathan the Spurs right it was the it was the reverse layup the hand switch layup but I mean unless you're being facetious Rex I mean after I mean that there's been a lot of amazing moments in that since that play that wow moment it's 99 obi toppen right that's true a lot of a lot of time has for for rex a lot of time has stopped after 1999 whether it's music movies comedy sports nah but there's been a lot of there's been a lot of wow moments since then it's a little unfair to say that the last like you know 20 years of basketball didn't have anything wow I mean you got got the ferociousness of Shaquille O'Neal you know Kobe Bryant Vince Carter's dunks you know once once more especially in recent years guys like this you know wowing us with with long-range three-pointers and there's Luca Garza rookie yearbook autograph for the pistons that's for Chad B to find his teammate Chad Greg was saying earlier best done spud web best dunk contest yeah I was pretty amazing when we were discussing uh I think yesterday had a quote-unquote fixed the dunk contest was it Mike tower someone had mentioned you know the the only people into in the dunk contest can't be taller than like 6 10 or something like that jazzy jay what's up yo how come they never step up and play defense on Steph Curry well I think you have to understand that they are playing defense on Steph Curry but he's just that good at at separated and he he moves off the ball so well and the way his moves are like he can separate from a defender pretty easily I mean you make it seem like it should be easy to defend Steph Curry but that's what makes him unique people are trying to defend it it's not like they're letting they're letting Steph Curry make these shots and Steph Curry's not a big dude they try to body up Steph Curry too he'll still get open make shots you know so I mean I I guess you can man-to-man Steph Curry but he moves he moves off the ball so well that he can usually lose his defender you know if you're still man-to-man you can still he can still make a quick move and still separate and his release is so quick he can still make a shot I suppose you could try to zone Steph Curry uh and get a couple guys on him but that's also tough too because that a lot of times that just leaves too way too much space for Steph Curry maybe you limit his off-ball movements that way but once he has the ball he can still separate and he's such a fast trigger it's not easy that's why he's special but I guess now nowadays it just seems like you're just so used to Steph Curry doing that that he's making it look too easy and he almost has normalized what he's done so like you know you don't kind of don't see like how how amazing he really is next box Rudio Goberto 99 ain't no defense in the NBA these days well if you make that argument you can you can take that back another 20 years I feel like everyone says that but but relative to whatever defense you want to talk about today you know there is still defense being played you know I mean so relative to the defense that's being played it's not like they're just giving Steph Curry open shots I think you're really underplaying how special Steph Curry is like you're really oversimplifying there's one Toscano Anderson for Sean Maddox like hey just play defense on Steph just play defense on him they are there's Mark Jackson God bless Jay I think that's a you but I always read that it's God bless Joe Jaspy I appreciate that Mark Jackson God bless you too New York Knicks that's gonna go to Shang not really in physical defense these days well the rules have made it so there isn't physical defense these days so can't really hand check anymore you know a lot a lot of fouls being called for a softer you know stuff that would have been but that's that's the day and age that we're in now but to say that there's no defense being played yeah I don't think anyone's oriented the league is softer we all know that that's not it that's not breaking news you know but in the context of what you have yeah there is defense being played on Steph no one wants to have Steph drop like 10 three-pointered on them in the game and if you think defenses really do want to do that you know then I think you don't know the game these are these are professional basketball players there's there's still competition and pride on that no one wants Steph to drop 10 three-pointers on them now the game is soft now all right fair I mean but you know I don't want I'm not I'm not that guy where it's just like like oh where they romanticize 90s basketball with like you know people forget how how bad 90s basketball kind of was a lot of a lot of 85 to 83 kind of games you know just a few great teams and not a lot of other good teams Luca Garza Detroit Chad oh yeah jay watch the real NBA I feel like old guys say that all the time right I'll bet people in the people in the 80s or people who are watching basketball in the 90s were just like this is garbage three-point lines and be like they'd be like ah three-point lines you know back in my basketball day no three-pointers everyone claims that their era of their generation of basketball is real basketball watch 20 years from now someone right now someone growing out right now is going to be like is going to be like ah basketball in the 2020s that was hard-nosed basketball it's too soft now 20 40 20 40 basketball in the year 20 40 soft music was better back in the day right now guys guys grew up in the 60s man this 80s music sucks not like it was in the 60s yeah I agree Cody just because it's different doesn't mean it's bad it's just different errors what are you gonna do yeah 80s basketball is so good they they they taped away the finals I don't mind it it's just it's just a different error what are you gonna do there's uh for the Pacers for Jeremy teaching McConnell everyone agreeing that it was better and more physical but me no I'm I never said that I'm just acknowledging the game has changed and I've evolved along with it it's like yeah like Danny was saying earlier no one's disagreeing that the NBA was more physical in the 80s and 90s but I'm joining I'm enjoying basketball for what it is now I'm fine with it all right relax Jay all right there's Iyer Williams Memphis Grizzlies Minsu with that one that's Kai Jones with the Charlotte Horns in 999 and that's that that's your break quick little recap here we'll work on that second half the case tomorrow and we'll see what else we can find in here there's Ion Scottie Barnes at the beginning right there there you have it spirited debate about the generations of basketball it's always a fun topic that was elite basketball six box picker team number 13 I'll see you next time for the next break bye
