GET UP | “Wemby could win MVP with another team”- Tim Legler on Nikola Jokic, Nuggets outduels Spurs

Get over here I want to watch Victor wanyama versus nicolea yic here’s a matchup we want to see forever Allan this was worth the price of admission absolutely was a present MVP against a future MVP look at him stretch and make that finger roll look at his arm just

Reaching out go go gadget arms that’s an old reference but watch this play here watch that anic how does he get that block he covers so much ground but keep an eye on him as the play continues watch this go the other way so first he’s over there he’s going to get the

Rebound and put it back now stay with it stay with it jic is not taking kindly to this has to finish it with the dunk and a little grin afterwards because he knew he was coming 20 years old look at these two and you can tell yic really enjoyed

This matchup yic had 42 and 16 when banama had 23 points 15 rebounds nine blocks and eight assists and after he made this bucket here the game was tied at 105 but in the final minute it was Denver able to untie it chrisen brown finding Michael Porter Jr he knocks this

Down and the Nuggets go on to Win It 110 to5 they’re the best team but Victor wanyama how close do you think he could possibly be Allen at this point to being the best player the best player in the league the MVP of the league I I think

He’s within a year or two I think he’s that close it all is going to obviously depend on how the Spurs build around him but think about just what he’s doing since the All-Star break 23 points 12 rebounds five assists and four blocks I

Had to look it up over the course of a season the player who last averaged those numbers was Kareem Abdul Jabar in 1979 that’s what we’re talking about here he came close to a quadruple double in this game which we haven’t seen in the NBA since 1994 remember what Russell

Westbrook did with the triple double bringing that back to the game the quadruple double might be called the wemi when all when we’re all done here because he is the type of player that can do all of that had that type of impact on the entire game both ends of

The floor at 20 years old we showed you a highlight that never stopped he went from one end to the other to the other to the other yes it ended with him getting dunked on but the fact that he got back to cover that dunk attempt from

Joic tells you all you need to know about his impact at both ends of the floor Jan what are the things that you and Malika and Company will be saying about him not just on NBA today today but into the future what are the right things to say about the the the the

Limitless potential of this player yeah they call him the alien for a reason because his talents are extraterrestrial and I have to disagree with Allan a little bit like two years to become the MVP the thing that predicates most valuable player is winning and I think the Spurs are more

Than two years away from winning in a meaningful way but immediately when I saw the first few games from wemi this season I was like this is a guy that will eat up literally every St and then the fact that we have him blocking joic

Four times in one game this is the guy that a lot of people favor as the MVP it’s it’s so far that he has moved so fast forward through his one rookie year campaign where he’s been able to prove that he can go toe-to-toe with the best

All right so let’s leave that one there for the moment because I have a lot of other things I want to get to we can talk more about him as we go but let’s run the floor LeBron James and the Lakers win yesterday LeBron had 23 Lakers beat the Raptors they’ve won

Seven out of eight Allen are the a legit threat in the west they are if they can get the seventh seed you don’t want the eighth seed they’re still battling in the play and if they have to play the Denver Nuggets it’s not a good matchup

But OKC Minnesota if they have to play those two much better matchup for them but LeBron does not look like he’s slowing down Anthony Davis to his credit has played all season been available and this team starting to find its form once again just like they did last year I

Think they are dangerous is Golden State they beat the Mavericks last night despite 57 from Luca and Kyrie golden state currently 10th in the west CH is this too little too late for Steph and Company it absolutely is If This Were game one of the NBA season you look at

The stats Steph Curry only a few points 13 as you see there seven rebounds seven assists you’re like wow everyone The Supporting Cast is stepping up but unfortunately it’s too late they’re trapped in the playin and then let’s get back to the Bucks we talked about them a

Little earlier they lose to the Wizards yesterday and a game that Damen Lillard doesn’t play I mean Allan let’s go right to the sound bite here so we can react to it and then we’ll talk this was Doc Rivers they’ve been particularly bad on the road and they lose this inexcusable

Game listen to Doc afterwards we don’t bring the necessary um professionalism seriousness on the road um and and that’s something that we can fix um that’s something we’re going to have to fix I’m sorry what yeah we we we what we don’t bring what I mean this is a

Championship aspiring team it’s not not if not if that is true and how do I take you seriously as the Milwaukee Bucks if that’s what you’re about 18 and 20 on the road you go into there’s nobody in the building it’s empty it’s an open gym

Basically and you go in there and you just kind of like don’t even give an effort give credit to the Wizards and Brian Keef they’ve done a great job trying to just stay up keep something going in Washington where it’s been despair for many years but you got to be

Kidding me even without Dame Lillard and I just feel like what you’re seeing there is not just barely over 500 with Doc as the coach so nothing really has changed on that front but Giannis gets a triple double plays outstanding they really miss Drew holiday they’re going

To show that’s going to show in the playoffs and if they get the wrong matchup in the first round they could be out again in the first round like oh by the way Jo Joel embiid and the 76ers that we saw at the beginning of the show

Chan are the Bucks a legitimate threat in the East unfortunately know and I’m someone that does I’m like glass half full but right now they are not because they’re one and six when Dame Lillard does not play they need both stars out there but they also need better perimeter defense

They need better transition defense and they will have to show up on the road the biggest Miracle is how they’ve been able to remain number two in the East considering the ups and downs the fluctuations of their play I still think when you have two of the better players

In the east on the floor you have a chance but right now they put all their chips in on Dame Lillard and unfortunately those that has opened up holes that they have had trouble to plug in absolutely well we conversation does she need to win a National Championship

In order to be considered the goat I don’t think so I think she needs to win multiple national championships to be in that kind of a conversation Caitlyn is an incredible player she has done more in terms of bringing attention and eyeballs to the women’s game than any

Player we have ever seen that’s a mere fact but when you want to talk about the goat conversation and you add championships to the mix you have to understand the history of the game and she got into detail on that history of the game including players uh

Like stey from Connecticut and all that who won four championships and was the national player of the year three times and others of the all-time greats and so here’s chanaa gumuk who herself was one of the great college basketball players in recent memory and and so Chan look it

Nothing could have been more wonderful than the fact that over 12 million people watched this game the other night and that means that a lot of people are coming to the sport who don’t know the history of it and to them they’re thinking wow Caitlyn Clark she’s the

Best player ever what did you think of the way Rebecca broke that down so what do we know today Caitlyn Clark is the greatest scorer that the college game has ever seen the greatest three-point shooter the women’s game has seen But there is a huge if when we talk

About Caitlyn Clark and the Goat if you win a National Championship because we never talk about goats commonly you know in the NBA and throughout Sports and not mentioned championships Caitlyn is absolutely on the Mount Rushmore of women’s college basketball and I’m saying this as a person who has played

Against Candace Parker who has played against Maya Moore who has played against Diana terasi I literally played versus Stewie in my final final four when she got her first of four so that is the only thing that is missing on her resume now the count I’m a little bit

Open on on the number of championships because we have never seen a player with her kind of usage accounting for 71% of Iowa’s offense that type of rate win if she does it will force me to reconsider but right now yes championships are the standard for goat

Conversation but what she has done for the overall game there’s no arguing she’s the most impactful player that we have ever seen of my generation entering the sport of women’s basketball based off what you mentioned those viewership numbers and just the attention and the sellouts but champions ships will

Definitely open the door to see if she can move from Mount Rushmore to the overall go well that’s the thing and I have been championing on the radio for years that there is a difference between being the best and being the greatest being the greatest takes into account

All of your accomplishments and that takes into account championships and all the rest of that and she can’t catch Diana terasi or Brianna Stewart or and some of the other players that you mentioned because she only has one chance to win one title that said is she

The best for people who have not been watching the sport and not seen some of the other great players including Diana terasi subd who whoever else is on that list is she the best player you’ve seen well best player to me means many different facets of the game but one

Thing that I have seen especially in that last win versus LSU the most impressive part is how Caitlyn continues to meet the moment that that game was no joke the assignment was not easy this is the defending national champions the Tigers and she has no margin for era she

Is so different when I heard her say oh I was never nervous going into these games I just can’t wait till it’s game time as someone myself who has played in three final fours I was nervous she’s just different we talk about how she’s the greatest scorer but now we’re

Watching her also become a great leader people need to start talking about leadership because leaders make their teammates do the impossible and we’ve seen two games straight where versus Colorado and LSU players that average four points and 11 points a game are now tying season highs or even getting highs

For overall in their careers with 16 and 21 on that stage that is the quality that you cannot put a stat to that is what she is emerging in this senior campaign being the best leader that Iowa demands and a force multiplier as well I

I listen to people like you uh and our other experts in this sport telling us that they’re not the best team I I has beaten teams that might have more overall Talent than they do and she has elevated everyone else’s level around her so outstanding there and obviously

Uh the games the other night were magnificent and hopefully Friday night will be just God Some KN goes in guts come Out comes together first Blood an enemy has been Defeated stop you have defeated an enemy an ally has been defeated enemy double kill An enemy has been defeated I’m going to attack if you don’t give it your you have defeated an enemy stay you have been defeated enemy double kill for me enemy ultimate you have mov an enemy has been defeated foration just in time shut down your team has destroyed a
