00:00I'm curious, with more and more coming out and more and more research that you've done
00:05on leading up to the signing of LeBron James, who do you think were, like if you were to
00:10rank in order one through three, one through five, however many you want to do, if you
00:15were to say this guy might be the number one reason to this guy's like the third reason
00:19or fifth reason, how would you order them?
00:21This just doesn't happen if Jalen Brown's not here.
00:24So Jalen Brown's number one.
00:26In fact, part of the indication that I have in this report is that if Jalen Brown was
00:32somewhere else, LeBron might have gone somewhere else.
00:35He was that important to it.
00:37You know, Jalen Brown's number one.
00:39You know, he pretty clearly tipped the scales and he was, you know, pretty clearly the game
00:44changer in terms of, you know, what LeBron wanted to do because, you know, this was definitely
00:50a I want to go somewhere where I have the best chance to win kind of move for LeBron.
00:54So I would say Jalen Brown, number one, I would say Tyrese Maxey, number two, because
01:00of, you know, LeBron's fondness for Tyrese Maxey.
01:03I believe that he sees Tyrese Maxey in the same way in a basketball sense as he saw Kyrie
01:08Irving a decade ago.
01:10And, you know, we all know in a basketball sense how fond LeBron was of Kyrie Irving.
01:16And I think that he sees, you know, Tyrese Maxey in the same way.
01:21And I think Joel Embiid was really important as well because LeBron hasn't played with a
01:27big like Joel.
01:29And I know he played with him in the Olympics, but in terms of NBA basketball, he hasn't
01:34played with a big, as talented, as diverse as Joel Embiid.
01:38And Joel Embiid definitely made a promise to him, you know, be in shape.
