00:00It's Tuesday somewhere, so you know what that means.
00:03It's Taco Tuesday!
00:08Sports Radio 610 presents
00:12The Drive with Sterner and Kublai.
00:18Alright, welcome back in as the crew is all back together again.
00:24The Garbage Pail Gang, is that what they said?
00:26That's right, man. Apparently, Clint really enjoyed his time in Florida.
00:30Oh, did you hear about that? Was I negative?
00:33Maybe just a little bit?
00:34Someone said you were. Always.
00:35Maybe just, yeah, no, I'm super negative.
00:37I'm just not a beach guy, bro.
00:38I had a blast in Galveston. You hated that.
00:40I'm just not a beach guy.
00:42I don't think the beach you were on you could, but I did say I prefer going to drive on
00:48it.
00:50I drove up to a spot, but I didn't drive on it, but I sure enjoyed it.
00:55I think you got to cross the ferry to drive on it.
00:57You actually drive your car out on it.
00:58I hadn't. I got to find it. I hadn't found it yet.
01:01Cross that ferry and you found it.
01:03You had to let me know. You had to give me a...
01:05Sit on that tailgate.
01:07Be good and loose.
01:08I drove where we were.
01:09Got me a little splurged a little bit.
01:12Got me a little chair and umbrellas.
01:15Umbrella? Excuse me.
01:16I mean, you just had them set it up for you?
01:17Yeah, they did.
01:18It was there, yeah.
01:19About 40 bucks.
01:20Yeah, you needed that, man.
01:21I needed that laid back, man.
01:22You deserve it.
01:23Taking care of them kids and my wife, he's out there.
01:25I'm telling you, man.
01:26The showman.
01:27Only Tyler's kids are of age.
01:30He knows the feeling where you can just...
01:32Well, I think if you actually...
01:33I think Tyler actually has the same problems we have at the beach with his kids.
01:36Well, he may, but I don't...
01:39Yeah, he may.
01:39It's a different experience with the kids.
01:40But, I mean, the feel where you can...
01:43You ain't got to be following them all the time anymore.
01:47Like, they know how to handle themselves.
01:49I am not there.
01:51Oh, I know you're not.
01:52And you can just say, hey, don't go past this from your seat.
01:55And they don't.
01:56Oh, that's great.
01:57Mine behave pretty well, except one always sneaks a snack of a turd every once in a while.
02:02Got to keep an eye on that.
02:03Don't like that.
02:04Like I said, similar.
02:05I hadn't caught mine doing that yet.
02:08You got a turd eater, too?
02:10I do, man.
02:11It's crazy.
02:13Small world.
02:14Hey, so today, and this, I'm certain people will have their own thoughts about this.
02:19But this is...
02:20And I'm curious, you all, because this is going to be a big thing because of who the athlete is
02:26and who he is, and we're coming towards the end.
02:30And that is LeBron James.
02:31He informed the Lakers today that he plans to play elsewhere next season.
02:36He is not retiring, but he is planning to play elsewhere next season.
02:40There are a lot of different options.
02:42Listen, I'll just be honest.
02:44I've not heard anybody connecting him with the Rockets.
02:46I mean, we could fantasize and do that deal.
02:48The Rockets said they're out on players that are in their prime.
02:52So I don't believe that 41 going on 42.
02:56And LeBron just faced this Rockets team in the playoffs.
03:00I don't know if LeBron's thinking that's where I want to go.
03:02That's right.
03:03I want to get them boys over the hump.
03:05I'm going to get them over the hump.
03:06I would love it, but I don't think that is direction.
03:10Real quick, how do you feel about this?
03:14Like, is this something that is interesting to you, that LeBron is leaving the Lakers
03:20and now to see where he's going next?
03:23Does this intrigue you?
03:24You know who you're talking to.
03:26Hell, it intrigues me when it's a 32-year-old that bombed out in his first couple years
03:33in the NFL that's getting a second shot, another shot.
03:35So, yeah.
03:36Well, I'm just saying, you know there are people who feel like, all right, man, they're over LeBron.
03:40And he's gotten like...
03:42I was here for Tom Brady.
03:43Luckily, that one worked out.
03:44I'm here for Aaron Rodgers continuing to play.
03:46I'm not a father time.
03:49It's just you got to get out.
03:52If you can play, go play.
03:53And this is the, I mean, one of the greatest athletes across the board.
03:57Well, no, I mean, I wouldn't say that.
03:58I can't give him, I damn sure can't give him the greatest of an athlete of all time.
04:01I mean, he is one of the greatest athletes across all sports of all time.
04:05Yes, if he can still go, hell, play the 55 if he can.
04:10I mean, like, the older athlete.
04:12I am just, Ron, I'm just a, the power of the guy, and in this case, the guys.
04:19Because, I mean, I think he's trying to join a crew that's not quite a goalie.
04:21But, I mean, the power of what that guy brings to the table from a situational perspective,
04:31from a maturity perspective, from showing your young, like, he potentially, forget about
04:36the championship in L.A.
04:38There is a really good chance that he changed the entire trajectory of the career of Luka
04:45Doncic with the way that he takes care of himself.
04:48I don't know the details of it, but if the wheels don't come off the minute LeBron steps
04:53out of the building, he hasn't gained 40 pounds.
04:55I was going to say, I hope he doesn't just go back to old Luka.
04:59Well, right, hope not.
05:00Start smoking heaters again.
05:02Drinking beer in the post-game pressure.
05:05But, yeah, no, but I mean, like, that's the kind of power that a guy like LeBron cares.
05:10Not just because he's one of the greatest of all time, but because the experience is irreplaceable.
05:14So, as long as you can still play and we don't turn the game on and you're not limping all
05:18over the floor, hell yeah, I'm here for it.
05:20I saw that picture of him and the boys from Golden State.
05:23Hey, I'm here for it, man.
05:25Hell yeah.
05:26Like someone texted in, who cares?
05:32Retire already.
05:33I mean, I think there are some people who say that.
05:35And maybe there has been some LeBron fatigue.
05:38I mean, this is about 25 years that he is, I mean, since he was on ESPN and Jay Billis
05:45was calling his high school game, this has been a long time that he's been in front of
05:50me, but, in front of us.
05:52But still, even at 41-42, knowing that he's about to close it out, like, it is still, and
05:59I know for me personally, obviously, I'm a huge fan.
06:02But still, I just don't believe anybody who's out there that's a sports fan that's, like,
06:09not intrigued to see, where is he going to go?
06:11Like, where?
06:12Because at 41-42, he still has a chance, as crazy as it is, unless he goes to the Hornets
06:20or something, but he still has a chance to potentially change somebody's team and potentially put somebody
06:30over the top to be a championship.
06:31They would have been a much better team this year.
06:35I'm not saying they would have made a deeper run or they would have won it all, but if
06:38the other two guys on that team would have been healthy when he needed them the most,
06:43I mean, they potentially could have made more noise this year.
06:47Yeah, no, look, the LeBron thing, LeBron with Curry, with Steve Curry, in that system, in
06:56a system that is actually, the system is an advantage, and it's not just, hey, LeBron,
07:00make the best of what you can, you handle this.
07:02Like, the actual system works.
07:04That is absolutely fascinating to see if, to watch.
07:09I will tune in in an absolute hurry.
07:11What Tom Brady did in his early 40s, I mean, you can't tell me that that's not one of the
07:17best stories, one of the best seasons in the history of the entire game because of his age
07:22and what he was able to pull off.
07:23Yeah, I'm with you.
07:24Like, I don't, like, I'm ready for Aaron to hang it up.
07:28If he came, like, open on the market, I'm lying if I didn't say, I'd be intrigued to
07:34see where he's going to go.
07:35Where's he going to go?
07:36Where's he going to go?
07:37Like, where's he going to go right now?
07:38Like, I would be intrigued.
07:39Bro, if Aaron goes out there and makes a run in the AFC, the AFC Championship game,
07:43and it just shows, I mean, and has a hell of a season, everybody would be dialed in to
07:48where, everybody would be wanting him.
07:49Half the NFL would be wanting him next year.
07:50That is a defeating father time, like, or maybe not defeating, but challenging father
07:55time better than most people do at big-time positions like that when you're an absolute
08:00superstar.
08:01Hell, yeah.
08:01I mean, just your casual fans are turned on by it.
08:05Yep.
08:05Gus and Katie, I'm not intrigued at all.
08:07For one, wish he would just retire and go crawl under a rock and allow the NBA to move on
08:13from his punk ass.
08:15Gus and Katie.
08:18All right, Gus.
08:19Gus, there are some liars out there like Gus.
08:24I can tell you're lying right now just how emotional you are about your feels of his
08:30punk ass to go somewhere.
08:32No, the Golden State thing is what's being kind of kicked around and talking about them
08:37trying to get him and broke down Anthony Davis.
08:40And I look at this, and I promise you, man, the stuff we're starting to look at, I mean,
08:44we're going to wake up here and the Rockets are going to be about the seventh or eighth best
08:47team in the West here in just a second.
08:49Everybody else is building that.
08:50No, I don't.
08:50Like, I look at these names and think, boy, Steph Curry, LeBron, Davis, Draymond, they'd
08:57be, that's a team that would be better than the Rockets.
09:00I don't know.
09:01Healthy and rested.
09:01I don't know.
09:02Now, I don't know about that.
09:03Now, that's the part.
09:04I mean, we got Steph's going to be 39, LeBron, 42 next year.
09:10Anthony Davis is the baby of the bunch.
09:12He'll be 34, and he's played 20 games last year, and you know he's getting hurt at some
09:17point.
09:18Draymond, do you know Draymond was 37?
09:20Did that sneak up on you?
09:22Draymond Green is 37 years old, and they also have Al Horford, who'll be 41, who's the second
09:28oldest player in the league over there that they've just resigned.
09:30It will be, I mean, I'm here to watch it.
09:33I will be, it will be one to watch.
09:35It'll be a hell of a roll of the dice by the Warriors, but it'd be fun to watch.
09:39Yeah, someone texted and said, Ron, you know Stone don't have the balls to make that move
09:43for LeBron.
09:44Yeah.
09:45Don't worry.
09:46I know he doesn't have the balls, but I don't believe it would be an opportunity for him
09:53to make that move.
09:54I don't know if this is where he is eyeing.
09:56But clearly, if he's informed them, Clint, I feel like we're going to know, he knows
10:03where he's going.
10:05He damn sure made it clear he's not going back to LA.
10:08Well, yeah, he's not going back to LA.
10:08Well, yeah, he's not going back to LA.
10:08Well, yeah, he's not going back to LA.
10:08Well, yeah, he's not going back to LA.
10:08Well, yeah, he's not going back to LA.
