UNFORGETTABLE. DOVE MEN FORGETTABLE UNDERARMS UNFORGETTABLE. YOU ARE THE NBA ON TNT POST GAME SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE KIA EV9 ELECTRIC LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN. >> KIA IS THE OFFICIAL AUTOMOTIVE PARTNER OF THE NBA. >> WELCOME BACK TO THE KIA POST GAME SHOW. ON THIS DAY 30 YEARS AGO, MAGIC MAN

MAGIC JOHNSON RETURNED TO COACH THE LAKERS AGAINST THE MILWAUKEE BUCKS. THE SAME GAME THAT WE HAD TODAY. OKAY, GOT THE TIE. OKAY >> GOT THE AND THEY GET THE W ONE OF ONLY A FEW. WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT MAGIC AS A COACH. >> GOOD COACH. >> SAY IT ALL. HE USED TO

THROW PHONES IN THE LOCKER ROOM. >> HE WAS A I DIDN’T PLAY FOR HIM. OH I PLAYED FOR A LOT OF COACHES I AIN’T PLAYING. >> WHAT DID YOU THINK HE WAS LIKE AS A COACH ANTHONY DAVIS GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO MAN FROZE UP ON YOU DIDN’T HE HAD HIM. WAS THAT FREEZE

FREEZE ANTHONY DAVIS THE ON PUTBACK SLAM. >> THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST REGULAR SEASON GAMES OF THE SEASON. HAS SOME OF THE CRAZIEST STATISTICS OF THE SEASON. AND ANTHONY DAVIS HAD HIMSELF A GAME AND SO DID GIANNIS. OH COULD YOU IMAGINE HIM BARRELING DOWN ON YOU KNOW IT WOULD FEEL

HOPELESS MILWAUKEE WAS UP 16 POINTS AT HALFTIME AND IT KEPT GOING. GIANNIS WITH THE SLAM OVER JAXSON HAYES. GIANNIS REBOUND PUTTING IT BACK 88 TO 74. BUT HERE COME THE LAKERS ANTHONY DAVIS KNOCKING DOWN A TRIPLE. BANG DOWN 980 FOR 3. HE WOULD GET HIS LEFT LEG LOOKED AT. HE WAS GOING.

>> THE FACT THAT HE DID THIS GOT BANGED UP BUT NEVER LEFT THE GAME. >> AND HIT ANOTHER TRIPLE HERE. HE WAS PHENOMENAL. ANTHONY DAVIS HIT THREE THREES ON THE GAME. DOWN FIVE AFTER BEING DOWN AS MUCH AS 19. >> AUSTIN REED CAME TO PLAY TODAY AS HE DID NOW WE’RE

ALL TIED UP 101 D’ANGELO RUSSELL NO FOUL CALL. >> BALL GOES OUT OF BOUNDS. >> THAT’S A LOT OF CONTACT FELLA. WHOO. THAT’S AN AWESOME FOUL. YEAH. FOUL ON WHO. >> BUCKS CHALLENGE IT. THEY OVERTURNED IT. THEY GET IT BACK. ONE LAST CHANCE. >> OH NO. FOUL CALLED THERE.

>> GOOD PLAY. GOOD PLAY. >> HOW IS HE THAT OPEN. GIVE ME SOMETHING. >> REEVES. >> BAD DREAM. MOST AWESOME IRON ON BAD DEFENSE, BUDDY. >> GO BACK SO FAR. HE WIDE OPEN. >> AUSTIN REAVES MADDOX. >> OH. GIANNIS CLOSED OUT. >> SO WE GO TO OVERTIME LEBRON THOUGHT THAT ONE WAS

GOOD. LILLARD TO THE HOOP ANTHONY DAVIS WITH THE SWAT DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR . TONIGHT WAS A PERFORMANCE WORTH DISCUSSING. FOUR BLOCKS FOR ANTHONY DAVIS. HE WAS A FORCE THE ENTIRE GAME. >> WEMBY WILL BE SECOND. >> NO HE WILL. >> OH HE AIN’T GOING DUNCAN.

>> NO I SAY HE WILL BE. >> OH EVENTUALLY YES YES YES. >> THIS YEAR DAMIAN LILLARD WITH THE STEAL. WE’RE TIED AT 121. THIS IS AN ICE COLD VAIN SHOT. >> THAT’S WHAT HE SHOULD HAVE SHOT. >> THE FIRST ONE AUSTIN REEVES KNOCKS IT DOWN. UP THREE 24 SECONDS LEFT.

GIANNIS ONE OF SIX FROM THE LINE IN THE GAME. THE LAKERS WERE 30 OF 32 FROM THE FREE THROW LINE. THE BUCKS 11 OF 17. REEVES COMES UP AGAIN WITH THE REBOUNDS PART OF HIS TRIPLE DOUBLE. INCREDIBLY, LEBRON ADD 30 AND 20. REEVES A 25 POINT TRIPLE DOUBLE, THE FIRST DUO

SINCE 1966 TO PULL THAT OFF IN THE SAME GAME. IT WAS JERRY LUCAS AND THE BIG O OSCAR ROBERTSON. AN INCREDIBLE FINISH. THE LAKERS WIN WITHOUT LEBRON. SOMETHING A.D WAS VERY PROUD OF IN POST GAME A.D YOU HAD 34 POINTS, 23 REBOUNDS, FOUR BLOCKS IN 52 MINUTES WITH A BANGED UP KNEE.

>> ALSO GUARDING THE BEST PLAYER ON THE BUCKS. GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO. HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO WHEEL YOUR TEAM TO VICTORY CONSIDERING THE CIRCUMSTANCES? >> BRAUN CHICAGO MAN WE TOUGH CURRY. NOBODY SAY ALL THE RUMORS. >> WHAT EVERYBODY WANTS TO SAY ABOUT ME, MAN. >> I GO OUT THERE AND JUST

LEAVE IT ON THE FLOOR FOR MY TEAM. MAN, I LOVE THESE GUYS, MAN. IT WAS IT WAS A FUN A FUN NIGHT. >> YOU’RE IN THAT PLAY IN FORMAT, RIGHT NOW. AND PEOPLE WILL SAY, WELL, WHAT’S SO SPECIAL WHERE THEY’RE SEATED AT RIGHT NOW? WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THOSE?

>> WE DON’T SAY ANYTHING TO THEM. YOU KNOW, WE KEEP OURSELVES TOGETHER IN THAT LOCKER ROOM KNOWING WHAT WE HAVE, THE TEAM THAT WE HAVE GUYS COMING BACK, NO MATTER WHO STEP ON THE FLOOR, WE GO OUT THERE AND COMPETE. WE’RE IN A DOGFIGHT RIGHT NOW. >> WE DIDN’T TRUST THE PASS

TONIGHT. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF, ZERO PASS SHOTS OR ONE PASS SHOTS, AND WHEN WE PLAY LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE GET AWAY WITH IT SOME NIGHTS BECAUSE GUYS MAKE SHOTS. BUT WE LOST OUR TRUST. WE LET OUR FOOT OFF, AND YOU GOT BURNED, THAT’S ALL THAT IS. I THOUGHT, WHEN WE PLAYED

RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME, IT WAS BEAUTIFUL BASKETBALL. AND, WE STOPPED PLAYING, RIGHT, AND THOUGHT WE COULD STILL WIN AND WE COULDN’T. >> STOP SAYING THEY DIDN’T TRUST THE PASS. 37 ASSISTS ON 49 FIELD GOALS. INTERESTING LAKERS THOUGH THEY’VE NOW WON FOUR STRAIGHT. THEY HAVE WON NINE

OF 13. THEY ARE NOW 500. AND PLAYING GAMES WITHOUT LEBRON. THEY ARE FIVE AND FIVE. AND THEY PICK UP THEIR 13TH WIN ON THE ROAD. ADD 30 AND 20 AUSTIN REAVES A 25 PLUS TRIPLE DOUBLE. NOW YEAH. >> I DIDN’T I DON’T KNOW WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY, BUT

THE LAKERS, THEY ARE NOW FIRMLY IN THAT NINE SEED. THEY HAVE A NICE LITTLE GAP ON THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. HE ALWAYS SAYS YOU DON’T WANT TO FACE THIS TEAM IN THE PLAYOFFS. IS THAT WHERE WE ARE WITH THIS TEAM STILL OR DO THEY EVEN HAVE POTENTIAL BEYOND THAT OF A FIRST ROUND?

>> THEY’RE GOING TO BE A TOUGH OUT BECAUSE LEBRON JAMES LED TEAM. YOU’RE PLAYING CHESS WHOEVER YOU’RE PLAYING AGAINST. SO IF YOU’RE ONE OF THE YOUNGER TEAMS WHO HAD A GREAT REGULAR SEASON, IT’S GOING TO BE TOUGH TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO BEAT THEM IN A SEVEN GAME SERIES, ESPECIALLY WITH

LEBRON BEING WELL RESTED, A.D BEING RESTED AND THE FACT THAT THEY’RE PLAYING CHESS WHILE EVERYBODY ELSE IS PLAYING CHECKERS, IF THEY PLAY YOUNGER TEAM, I MAY PICK THEM AGAINST THE YOUNGER TEAM, ESPECIALLY IN THE FIRST ROUND. >> THEY GOT TO MAKE IT OUT. THEY’RE PLAYING GAMES. >> THAT’S THE THING. YOU GOT

TO WIN TWO. >> YEAH, YOU GOT TO. >> YOU CAN’T. YOU CAN’T LOSE IN THAT 10TH OR NINTH. >> I THINK THEY IF THEY IF THEY’RE IN POSITION THEY’RE GOING TO GIVE THEM GOLDEN STATE. >> COULD BE THEM. >> I HAVE A OR YOU GO AND YOU PLAY AGAINST A PHOENIX

TEAM OR YOU THINK PHOENIX OR SACRAMENTO. >> PHOENIX. PHOENIX AND SACRAMENTO RIGHT NOW ARE IN THE CAPABLE OF BEING SEVENTH AND EIGHTH SPOT. >> THEY’RE CAPABLE. YEAH >> BEYOND THIS, WHAT DO YOU LEARN ABOUT THE LAKERS WHEN YOU WATCH THEM WITHOUT LEBRON. >> SO I THINK THAT THERE’S

IN A LIKE A CONSISTENT HOW WOULD I SAY THIS. LIKE AUSTIN REAVES IS FRONT AND CENTER WHEN LEBRON IS OUT. LIKE YOU CAN SEE THAT IT’S THEIR GAME PLAN TO PUT THE BALL IN AUSTIN REAVES HANDS AND TO ALLOW HIM TO PLAY. AND I MEAN, HE PERFORMED TONIGHT. YOU LOOK AT HIS

TRIPLE DOUBLE, I MEAN 29, TEN AND 14. I THINK AD IS A LITTLE BIT MORE ACTIVE. AND I THINK AT TIMES YOU, YOU GET CAUGHT WATCHING LEBRON PLAY BECAUSE HE IS SO GREAT AND HE CAN DO SO MANY THINGS WITH THE BALL. AND, AND SO I THINK THAT IT IS AN I MEAN,

YOU SAW HOW RUI STARTED OFF TONIGHT REAL HOT WITH HIS ENERGY AND ALL THAT STUFF. AND IF THEY CAN GET VANDERBILT BACK HEALTHY, I THINK THAT HE HE CAN GIVE THEM SOME GOOD MINUTES DEFENSIVELY. BUT I THINK THE BIGGEST THING I NOTICED IS AUSTIN REAVES LIKE, HOW DO YOU UNLOCK THAT AUSTIN

REAVES WHEN LEBRON PLAYS? YEAH, I THINK EVERYBODY’S KIND OF UNLOCKED, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. >> AND LIKE SHAQ SAID BEFOREHAND, EVERYBODY’S TOUCHING THE ROCK. EVERYBODY FEELS LIKE THEY CAN RUN, PICK AND ROLL. EVERYBODY FEELS LIKE AT SOME POINT THEY CAN BE THE FOCAL POINT OF THE OFFENSE. BUT MORE

THAN ANYTHING TO ME, ANTHONY DAVIS DOESN’T PLAY IN HESITATION. HE DOESN’T HAVE TO WONDER IF HE’S 1 OR 2 LIKE HE’S THE GUY AND HE CAN BE MORE PATIENT THAT WAY, AND HE CAN ALSO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE WHILE DOING THAT. >> IT’S JUST A BASIC CASE OF RESTRICTION VERSUS FREEDOM.

WHEN LEBRON IS IN THE GAME, EVERYBODY’S RESTRICTED. GET IT? GIVE IT TO LEBRON AND YOU MAY GET A SHOT WHEN HE’S NOT IN THE GAME. EVERYBODY HAS THEIR FREEDOM. D’ANGELO RUSSELL YOU KNOW YOU DON’T REALLY SEE HIM DRIBBLE SEVEN EIGHT NINE SECONDS LIKE HE GETS IT BOOM BOOM THROWS IT

TO LEBRON. SO WHEN THEY HAVE FREEDOM AND YOU KNOW I SAID THIS BEFORE THE GAME WHEN THEY HAVE FREEDOM AND THE BALL IS MOVING. THAT’S WHY I PICKED THEM TO WIN. BECAUSE WHEN EVERYBODY’S INVOLVED LIKE DURING THE PLAY IN THEY’RE VERY DANGEROUS TEAM I WANT TO ASK YOU BECAUSE I

THINK IT MEANS MORE COMING FROM YOU. >> ANTHONY DAVIS BANGS HIS LEG. IT’S PLAYS PLAYS 52 MINUTES. >> TELLS Y’ALL HE’S FROM CHICAGO 34 POINTS 23 REBOUNDS JUST FROM THE BIG MAN ALLIANCE TO SEE THAT KIND OF AN EFFORT AGAINST GIANNIS AND BROOK LOPEZ. >> THAT’S WHAT I WANTED.

>> GOLF CLUB YEAH NO HE’S SAYING THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO DO. >> HE KNOWS HOW I FEEL ABOUT HIM. AND I WATCH HIM PLAY IN THE PLAYING GAME. IT’S HIS MOTHER AND FATHER. THEY CAME UP TO ME AND SAID WE WANT YOU TO STAY ON OUR BOARD BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT HE’S

CAPABLE OF. LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHEN DID A LOT OF KENTUCKY. BUT WHEN HE WAS WITH NEW ORLEANS AND THE NUMBERS HE WAS PUTTING UP, THAT’S WHEN IT WAS A NEW FLASH FOR ME. LIKE, THIS GUY CAN DO THIS EVERY NIGHT. SOMETIMES HE’S UP AND SOMETIMES HE’S DOWN. BUT, YOU KNOW, LATELY THE

WAY HE’S BEEN PLAYING AND, YOU KNOW, LIKE HE SAID, THEY’RE IN THE DOGFIGHT. WHEN YOU PUT A GUY LIKE THAT IN A DOGFIGHT, HE’S GOING TO PERFORM JUST LIKE THAT. >> AND I JUST THINK HE DESERVES THE PRAISE WHEN HE GOES 52 MINUTES, BECAUSE WE’VE BEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE

HEAP ON A LOT
