Chapter 1: What happened in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals?
They didn't show him until the game was well in hand. Yeah. I mean, you're seeing here, that's Tyrese Halliburton's final line, 32, 12, and 15. And I think that's the first time we saw Johnny H. So I think they showed him two times before the end of the 48-minute buzzer. I think so, too. Was off. And then they showed him a lot of times as soon as the game was over.
Yeah, I think you're right. By my count, it was two times within the actual 48 minutes of action. And it came much later. I thought it would be one of their early Ali LaForce stories. But it wasn't. It was a late Ali LaForce story. And then it helped that his son was doing something historic with the triple-double and zero turnovers. So then we got a lot of John. But I guess the under-hit...
He did bring the towel back with him. Of course. Yeah. He just has one Tyrese towel or several. I mean, why would you change a lucky towel at this point? I think he's got one. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. It was late that they showed him. I was surprised by that. And I was a little surprised by Ali LaForce's second question was about dead. It was about the game for Tyrese Halliburton postgame. And then who'd you do it for? Oh, yeah. Yeah. That guy. That guy up there. Yeah. That was an early ask. I thought. I don't know why I'm considering it an early ask.
I thought we'd have him earlier on, but Allie's reports were too important. They trumped John Halliburton, which was a big story coming into this game.
Well, Allie had to go with the knee-smith ankle injury update early in the game. I wonder if he doesn't twist his ankle in game three. Do we lead with John Halliburton in the suite? as her first hit. I think so, I do, but yeah.
Maybe, because I think her second hit was about Josh Hart and whether or not it was his idea to come off the bench. That's true, that's true. He probably wants to move back into the starting lineup because it's not going well on the bench.
No, it's not. No, it's not.
He had, what, five turnovers last night?

Chapter 2: What made Tyrese Halliburton's performance historic?
They brought a ton of them. There was a clip of George Hill doing the beer chug in the front row. He chugged it. Although I think the director said, get off him. Cut, cut. I don't think he wanted to show an entire beer chug. We're civilized here. Did you see what we did in game three? Roy Hibbert chugged a bottle of water. We stayed there for the whole time. That's cool. Bottle of water, cool.
Doing a whole beer thing? Nah, we're better than that. We're not the Milwaukee Bucks. Remember when they showed a couple Green Bay Packers? They had Aaron Rodgers versus... David Bakhtiari. That was a back and forth little chug fest. Nah, nah. We're more civilized than them. We don't do that kind of thing. But it was nice to see, yeah, Danny Granger. Travis Best again. He came back again.
Lance Stevenson got the crowd hype. That was fun. I thought Tibbs was pretty funny in an audio assist hearing him saying, no jogs, no jogs, sprints, sprints. Don't leave the ball unguarded. We're better than that. You don't usually hear someone say, no jogs. No jogs. That's our running podcast coming this fall. No jogs. Never heard it before. Sprints. Sprints.
Directly to Carl Anthony Towns, I think. But I guess they weren't sprinting hard enough. He was right.
He was right. Speaking with the exercise angle, what do you think of Shaq doing bicep curls with Underdog? as they were going, like showing them up, getting ready for the halftime show. Yeah. We know, obviously, both these guys. Very strong. Underdog is tiny. He is short, but he's not... It's still hard to lift a person. Yeah, and he's like... Because they move. Not super slight.
I don't know what underdog weighs, but... I'm guessing he's curling 130 pounds there.
I think he weighs more than that.
Yeah, I don't know. 130 to 150, depending.
He's been on the road a lot, I'm sure, during the playoffs.

Chapter 3: How did Pascal Siakam perform in this game?
12-13 was Anthony Davis with 10, Damian Lillard with 9, Bradley Beal with 3, Dion Waiters and Harrison Barnes. They didn't make it. Although he got a second team appearance. Andre Drummond had a couple all-star appearances. We'll wrap up the top five teams here. 11-12.
was uh the third place one but they got some second teamers in there so they get the head nod over uh 07 08 11 12 had 20 all-star games kairi 9 kawaii 6 clay 5 so you get more of those i'm sure uh to wrap up the team ricky rubio kenneth farid and somehow iman shumpert and brandon knight all made the all first team just because of a tie in voting and brandon knight He almost made an All-Star game.
It got kind of close. We were talking in the NBA TV days during the starters. Brandon Knight? He was in Milwaukee Buck. He was riding with Giannis. Yeah, it was a debate. Brandon Knight almost made it. Second team, Isaiah Thomas had two All-Star appearances. 07-08, 20 All-Star games. This is an interesting one because it's heavy, Kevin Durant. Durant 15. Horford, five. That wraps it up.
Jeff Green, Luis Scola, Al Thornton did not make it. Al Thornton, wow. The second team had none, but they had a great name. Jamario Moon. And to wrap up the top five, 15-16, got 17 all-star appearances that are just going to go up because Jokic has seven, Katt has five, Booker has four, Porzingis has one. Porzingis could be a one-and-done guy, maybe. Absolutely. Probably. Probably.
And Jaleel Okafor, he had zero. Second team, D'Angelo Russell, he got one. All right, so let's get to the bad ones over the last 21 years. Six had single digits on their first team. So the first team from the 16-17 year just had seven All-Star games, and it's all Embiid. Embiid had seven. That's it. He missed his first two seasons.
Then he had 31 games where he didn't make it the first three seasons of his career. Then seven straight All-Star games. So just a unique career. We'll see if he makes some more. Dario Saric, Buddy Heald, Willie Hernan Gomez, and Malcolm Brogdon did not make All-Star games, although Malcolm Brogdon did win a six-man of the year.
Willie Hernan Gomez was first-team All-Rookie? Yeah. That's a bad draft. And Bede made it, right? Playing 31 games in his third season.
Yeah.
Made first-team all-rookie.
