Shams on LeBron James, Team USA + Kawhi Leonard ‘didn’t meet their criteria’ 👀 | The Pat McAfee Show

for the stadium fandu T 21 hours sleep Sean come on come on ladies and gentlemen SE you’re G to die you’re G die how do you how do you look this good look at how good the hair the skin the whole every 21 hours this guy staring at blue blue screen no glasses either we don’t see his ass ever wearing the blue glasses not good I got to get the blue blockers what do I got to do I mean I mean do I look tired Pat you tell me I feel tired I mean I’ve been in Vegas about a week now for summer league it’s also Team USA Canada spent some time around USA Basketball so uh I’m I’m I’m doing a little bit better yeah Canada suck it same with Dylan Brooks too shut up all right listen it works in the NBA but whenever you’re talking USA K get out of here show show anyways since we missed out because you don’t have any service because your phone wants to work but the Wi-Fi in Vegas doesn’t want the Wi-Fi in Vegas can’t keep up with Sham sh can’t to it it’s it’s bad it’s bad these Hotel Wi-Fi really really bad in Vegas all right we’re running out of running out of time so let’s get through the the important here can we please you just brought up Team USA I saw a clip from the NBA uh Twitter account of LeBron James literally just directing traffic on the court for an entire practice and then I think there was people uh Steve cerr like called and asked somebody like hey is this him every single practice and they were like yeah this is him every single practice I know Anthony Edwards spoke I think before this entire training camp and before the game got going he said everybody’s going to have to adjust around me I’m star I’m I’m the best guy this is clearly Lebron james’ team still and is this dude an actual alien and how does everybody feel about him we know that you and him dap each other up whenever you see each other walking through hallways Shams yeah that’s the that’s the no look that’s the no look dep right there I got I’m not taking any credit for that one but what I will say about LeBron James spending time in in that Team USA practice setting watching that game and the way that he’s moved the way he’s looked you think about uh he’s going into his 22nd season in the NBA uh he’s going to be 40 years old in December he’s not supposed to look this good at this age and just watching how Steph Curry LeBron James and hopefully Kevin Durant if he gets out there those are the three players the the pillars of this USA basketball team LeBron James really started it last summer when he had conversations with Steph Curry conversations with Kevin Durant about forming this kind of last stance at Team USA for those three in particular not you have a team Jason Tatum Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards got off to a great start today in their exhibition against Australia by the way Joel embiid this is a team that has obviously the the old heads per se but also a lot of Youth a lot of the nextg players in today’s NBA but for sure this is really LeBron James his vision for the team when you think about him Steph Curry and Kevin Durant and you’re seeing it kind of come to life and he’s looked really really good at Team USA practice okay it’s been fun to kind of keep up with it all I can’t believe brony’s not on team you know there’s a chance Brony make team maybe in a few years after some work in the g-league and with the Lakers fully guaranteed contract shout Rich Paul dude’s an absolute dog let’s talk about Team USA people that leave Kawhi Leonard just said nah I don’t want to represent the United St how how that entire thing work out and are we ever going to watch Ka Leonard play basketball I missed that that guy was good remember in the corner the shot the BS remember the handles smack the floor I mean are we ever going to watch this guy play basketball again what is the case here that was the part of why essentially you know Kawhi Leonard left the clippers because of how he looked and USA b as much as this was a Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers joint decision as far as him withdrawing from the team this was also a little bit about Team USA as well and they saw him go through multiple days of practices and and I saw at least one day and the way Steph Curry LeBron James and those guys looked on the court compared to how Kawhi Leonard looked USA essentially determined that he did not meet their criteria for fitness and fit to be able to play moving forward so as much as Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers pull the plug USA Basketball pulled the plug as well Grant Hill was was actually a little bit surprisingly more vocal about that the fact that they also Team USA played a part in this kawh Leonard wanted to play I think the Clippers are are hopeful he’s going to have a full off season get healthy but there has been some concern about his knee he the same knee that he had the torn ACL a few years ago he had the Tor meniscus a couple years ago uh this is something that the Clippers have to to monitor the rest of the summer and that’s what this is about his longevity and his his being able to play in NBA games this season and for the next few he starting a three-year $150 million contract this upcoming season so that is is very important for he wanted to play though you’re saying he wanted to play he wanted to play people around him got a full off season he wants he’ll work he’ll get back we’ll be able to see Kawai instead of the where’s Kawai like I’m excited hey Kawai we missed you buddy good luck Ka kaai good luck with the knee good luck with the injury all right we only have a couple minutes left here because your Wi-Fi sucks so bad you uh you literally your face is so handsome so it doesn’t look as bad as it possibly could every fourth worse you’re just you’re freezing up but you look so handsome dude you look the hair look can we can can can we just blame I’m blaming the Wi-Fi here 100% but we let’s get to more important things no more important things clay where so he doesn’t go back to Golden State I heard the LA Lakers who couldn’t bring anybody in then LeBron James who was going to take a pay cut I heard and then did not he did not take a PKA that was a wild that was a wild development on my f th a break it’s like I thought LeBron was taking a PKA and then people were like well they couldn’t land anybody they tried to land Klay right and Klay chose Dallas over La is that the accurate depiction and how’d this all work out quick we got a minute Thompson had Klay Thompson had more on the table potentially from the Lakers four years 80 I mean even last off season he turned down two years 48 I’m told from the Warriors he believed the Dallas Mavericks had the best opportunity for him to win a championship than any team The Warriors the Lakers Akers that’s why he chose Dallas he’s going to be their starting three and he’s going to be the guaranteed starter he’s guaranteed minutes there and opportunity to play he’s Ray Allen in the corner and somebody’s putting out some bad bad Pub on Clay right now what very bad you saw it too oh yeah yeah I saw it on my timeline great he he’s gonna be he’s gonna fit right in the exact piece that they need they got videos of clay getting locked up LA Fitness I don’t like it LA Fitness I don’t like it I don’t love it who they got basic ass playing at La I need to arrest whoever put this out these are not the basic ass whites no it look like some some basketball players but I mean he’s just jacking around he’s drunk he just got off his boat he’s got sea legs don’t worry about him we appreciate you Shams keep crushing we’ll talk to you later this week appreciate you guys Sean he’s got sea legs bro he’s the captain of the ship he arrived on a boat what do you want him to do someone delete that video that
