FIRST TAKE | Shannon reacts to Luka Doncic’s Triple-Double streak ends as Mavericks beat Warriors

99 Luca didn’t get his a straight triple double but they got the win you let me see hold on go back you know I got this new Gadget in here G I’ve been I’ve been learning how to work it I feel like I I feel like I’m

Tom Cruz at minority The Minority Report you see my background you see my background I had to switch it up because everything got destroyed everything is destroyed here so hopefully by Wednesday what happened huh some new stuff coming in okay you you you you you getting rid of some stuff redecorating

Yeah I had to I had to move luckily I got a moving desk Luca scores 21 he only scored 21 let’s see what L yeah he had a decent game today 99 109 that was just yeah that was one of them old yeah that was one of them old uh

Well now you see that what was that game was that Philly and uh the niick somebody had 79 to 73 all kind of bull Detroit how was that Detroit game yeah uh yeah Kyrie was eight of 16 one of5 66 from the free throw line he had 23 Luca

Had 21 wow it was really really a quiet night for Luca 21 and N 219 and three oh the Warriors Warriors must be some SL was some SLO tonight cause nobody really really went crazy well I mean well I mean you got to take uh CP there was no step no Steph

Steph is not there and cp’s there so with CP being there he’s gonna he’s gonna mil the clock it’s gonna be one of those grinded out type of offenses so you know it wasn’t GNA get it wasn’t G to be one of those 130 135 type of games

And I don’t know if they can get that without Steph in in the lineup uminga played played well he was what eight 17 two or2 from the three-point line he had 27 um looks like Draymond didn’t play either clay struggle he was three or 13

Two or seven from the three he had eight points it’s just it’s just you know for every for every game that Klay gives you a glimpse of what he was he have five six seven games that you’re like damn clay we can sit here and ask what’s the

Problem but we know it’s more mental Than Physical this is ment this is mental that he’s he got the same shots doing the same thing same plays right it’s not like he’s one of those guys that really needs space for his shot this is a mental battle that he’s having

Right is from you know his contract not getting that extension we don’t know what’s going on that money he should have took that money but that might it might be it might be bored than that too though true but Gil you gota you know a lot of times people make

Mistakes is that well he over there and that’s what he got but you not over there they might not view your organization might not view you like his organization view him so you looking at someone else and say well this is that you can’t measure your worth by some

What someone else what someone else got and far too many times that’s what happens you look over there you like well I’m but bro you can’t measure your worth by someone else’s and I think that’s what he’s doing he’s looking at guys like man I’m

Better than x man he got 150 and y’all only offer me 24 a year for two years you know what the real problem was he’s measuring himself up to people that there’s not even the same category right and what I mean by the category is what option is Clay yeah third second

Option stop looking at number one options bro thank you your third opt your career’s been third option you’ve never been a number one option so when they’re paying got no matter what your numbers are and who you are in your four rings you’re a third option yeah and a

Very good one right yes don’t compare your yourself to someone that’s a first option or a second option those I don’t care what your numbers are your responsibility is different you have none you have you’ve done played horrible this whole year and Golden State still feels they can go deep in

The playoffs because they’re not on your back they’re on step Steph’s back so you might average 20 this guy average 20 but his responsibility is way different than yours so when you’re looking at his contract and you’re looking at we got the same numbers yes but you don’t have

The same responsibilities you have none he has more you know so that’s that becomes a hold on girl Mr Beast is in our chat hey hey guys give Mr Beast a hand let’s say hello to Mr Beast hey Jimmy how you doing bro I appreciate

They call him Jimmy right yeah his name is he’s from North Carolina so it’s an unbelievable honor to have you in our chat so we greatly appreciate you stopping by hanging out for a few minutes uh he’s been at this thing a long time I think he’s had a he’s been

At it since he was about 15 14 or 15 years of age Gil and now he’s uh he’s 26 so no yeah no I I used to I watched uh I watched a lot of his videos even from the beginning on how he first started you know uh he was saying something with

How he was trying to find the algorithm of you uh YouTube where all his four friends or his three friends the four of them will take on assignments right one to take on thumbnails one to take on videos and they’re trying to figure out what catches and then they’ll come back

To each other and give each other the update so they put it in all in one video right so instead of taking four years to learn some information it took them one year to learn all the information I’m just like man that’s this is what I do

Know um about him and about people that work for him just by Bas it on like greatness and being around great players and seeing great players and and and when you hear them talk they’re obsessed yep and everybody that’s in their sucker is obsessed so when people

Say oh you could have this no you can’t no you can’t you can’t no you cannot anybody that’s and I’m not just talking about I’m not talking about the wealthy you look at the Jordans you look at the great I’m talking about the great now if you just want to be average and

You want to say well you know hey I’m cool with my 9 to5 I’m cool doing what I do come home I’m able to go to all the kids to all the kids of and all that stuff like that that’s fine I’m not here to knock you for that I’m saying if you

Want to be the 00000000 .1 there’s no other way there is no balance to Greatness there’s no balance go listen y’all love Jordan y’all love Kobe and still they until they start talking about what it took to be great and then when they tell you what I’m actually

Saying well I you you don’t want to you so sometimes it’s the messenger it’s not the message because here’s the thing what I’ve noticed and I’m a lot older than you are Gil if we like the messenger we’re more likely to receive the message if we don’t like the message he

Can tell us you got the winning lottery ticket is being sold down the street you’re like man I’m later for you bro but if you don’t like the messenger you won’t like the message and no it ain’t even about the it can be about the message or the

Messenger if you don’t have the willpower it don’t matter who gives you the message right we have all the information and to our our disposal we we know everyone that’s watching knows how to be successful they know how because it’s there’s so much information there’s so many successful people

Here showing us with examples telling us us with words right January 1 comes every year the first 30 days what everybody gotta get in shape we gota I’m gonna do this February 1 99.9% of everybody went back to December last year that’s just a that’s just a fact

Like I tell my kids listen I don’t give a if there’s 1,400 shots that you need to take a week 200 shots every day one to come up I took 1,400 how many days did you shoot I did it in one day you suck it ain’t about the 1400s it’s about seven

Days because that means three of those days you didn’t want to do it and you still did it that is the greatness the 1400 ain’t the greatness the everyday grind of it the days you don’t want to do the days you want to do it you don’t

Gain nothing them three days you don’t want to do it is where the gains come from that’s why my number one of my number one quotes my grandfather said he said boy never mistake haveit for hard work see what the thing is girl a lot of times people do something over and over

And they feel they’re working hard and the analogy you use is the gym how many times like hey man I went to the gym today I’ve been going to the gym the last three years the last three mon months and your body look exactly the same because that you going to the gym

Out of habit you’re not working hard man I don’t know what it is but what I work out I just you ain’t eating them 45 pound plates man my clothes man the dry shrunk my clothes no the refrigerator shrunk your clothes that’s what shrunk your damn clothes so I don’t know who you

Trying to fool see when people start trying to look I don’t know and I I tell people this I don’t know everything I know a little bit about everything but what know a lot what I know I know a lot about I know about the human body and I

Know about eating correctly I know about a healthy lifestyle so you can’t fol all that other stuff you do all that talking you can talk your ass off get your lips off my ears as a matter of fact because you’re talking me to death so all that other stuff that y’all

Be talking no this this is this is what I do and this is why I don’t have time to talk about people Gil I’m taping seven to 10 shows a week I’m trying to come up with content Ash and I she calling me she she up she’s asessed as I am

Yeah CJ is obsessed as I am that’s the only way you can be great because look what y’all want to do what how do we want to be good because this ain’t good enough this isn’t good enough and okay TJ okay so that’s the mindset that we have I need people that

Are obsessed if you want to take vacation every 3 months working for sha media ain’t for you and that’s okay you that’s okay I’m not gonna knock you because oh man he drive or he work this yes all time of the night especially because we got to we got to

Stay on top of this that’s the only way Gil that is the only way we’re Our Own Boss you have great hours but to be obsessed I was obsessed with football and that’s why I’m terrible at relationships because I do not I do not multitask I’m a I’m a singular focused

Guy yes that’s why people say what he ain’t never been married no because relationship that has never been the most important thing to me some people that is okay that’s you but for me and and and that’s and people don’t understand that’s a sacrifice and some of those sacrifices came when we were

Little and that’s why it’s hard for us when we’re done yes we sacrificed everything to get to where we were now when you take that away from us there’s nothing we don’t have nothing we don’t know nothing so now we got to sit here and mentally try to find something that is

Going to fulfill everything that fulfilled it when was in sports but it has to be able to fill it all and I’m sorry there’s no relationship that’s going to fill the void of being an athlete not a healthy one not a not a healthy not a healthy one because

Everything that came with being an athlete a relation a healthy relationship can’t do it and and and people don’t really understand it that’s why you got golfing that’s why some of them can golf all day fish all day right to you it seems boring to them hours competitiveness like it just

It it checks so many BX that’s why that’s why most athletes even no matter what they do they’re competitive you’ve been competitive for so long how I turn it off yep you know if can’t in a relationship see and that’s that’s and that that’s where we we we can’t be

Compet the competitive part of us can’t be competitive in the relationship no and and I I but see G for me I always understood I always understood I never I never lost sight of they applauded what I did not who I was and see football was what I did

That’s not who I am so I never lost sight of that so once you understand your place you’ll be fine so because eventually the Applause and the agulation is gonna stop you walk on another job people like hey 80,000 ain’t about to cheer ain’t about to cheer shanon Shaw walking down the

Street and you’re never gonna get that high that you got toan running out in that Stadium when you run out to the arena or they call and and at guard a six foot4 200 pound from Arizona gilber or nothing feels that nope but I get the same

High I get the same high when I do a great conversation E I don’t even look at hey I don’t care I leave I say CJ I put everything I had into that one yep everybody I know everybody ain’t gonna like everybody that I interview but you best believe I gave it

Everything I had I left no stone unturned as far as with Ste CJ and I from researching and trying to get to and to try to get the person to open up just like I did in football I studied my ass off I watched tape over and over

Again because I wanted to be the best I didn’t get into this thing just to get a check I yeah I know I can just do this and no no I want to be the best I want I want people to come man I can’t wait the

Night cap come man I can’t wait to see a who Club sh sh interviewing this week man I can’t wait that’s what I want just like when those 80,000 fans in Denver they wanted to see me in that lineup and they wanted to hear my name call and to

Run out that tunnel that’s what that’s what drives me is to be the best in this space not but hey I don’t compare myself with what he does that that ain’t got nothing to do with me I compare myself to what I believe I can get

To that’s the only thing I can compare myself to I can’t compare myself because I don’t know what they’re doing I can just only imagine that’s what that’s why that’s why I didn’t worry about nobody was taking my job because I know when nobody was doing

What I was doing no no no no no no way no way no way ask any of my teammates in Baltimore ask any of my teammates in in in Denver did anybody train and with the first thing they gonna say I ain’t never met anybody as disciplin to Sharon sh I ain’t

Never I’m the same way right now I go to bed thinking about hey I call Ash okay how do we get better how do we get better how do we beat last last episode CJ how do we beat how do how do how do I do what okay what did what

Questions could I have asked that I didn’t I’m not talking about the views the views speak for themselves some people might like it they tell their friends some people might not but how do I get better and if I can get all because all I’m doing is comparing myself to last

Week that’s the only thing I can compare myself but that’s what I need people to understand if you people talking about they want to be no you don’t y’all just talking because y’all think somebody just G head like just all of a sudden you just gonna roll out of bed and be

Great it doesn’t work like that out of a lifetime some people are boring great some people have greatness thrust upon them it only matters what you do with the greatness that you have nothing else matter how many times you how many times you know somebody you went to school you
