Sports Analyst
You see, we got the Hawks. Dyson Daniels was named NBA's most improved player. Dyson Daniels finished ahead of Evita Zubots and Cade Cunningham to come under to become the second Hawks player to Take home the award in his third season, his first with Atlanta. Daniels average a career high 14 points, rebound six, four and a half assists and three steals while shooting a career high 49.3% from the field and 34% from the three point line, averaging just under 34 minutes of game. Joe, we were both off. You thought it would be K C half, I thought it would be Zubos and I'll be dog if your Hawks player didn't sneak in there and win.
Former NFL Player
The war because we had him winning, what was it? Defensive player of the year?
Sports Analyst
Defensive player of the year. Yes.
Former NFL Player
I didn't have him winning most improved, but I'm glad he did. He is well deserving, man. I've had a chance to go to some practice and see these guys practice. I see the extensive work that Kyle Korva, the assistant GM was putting in with this dude, really showing him how to shoot and just getting him reps up with him after practice. And he was just a sponge, just soaking up as much game as he could. And obviously it seemed like every month, month to month, week to week, it just seemed like he kept getting better, he kept improving and he, he grew offensively, defensively. He's always had it. He's had that knack to be a hell of a defensive player and be disruptive, you know, defensively and offensively. His game just came around and he just flourished this whole year for us as the Hawks and. But you know, we were bogged down with, with injuries, man. I, I expect him to play a big pivotal role coming into next season. You know, us House getting off to a great, great start. So I'm looking forward to it, man. Much well deserved.
Sports Analyst
Oh, you know what I was thinking? I know who would be a good player for the Lakers.
Former NFL Player
Who?
Sports Analyst
Clint Capella.
Former NFL Player
Yeah, they.
Sports Analyst
Yeah, Clint Capella.
Former NFL Player
How you, you must think the Hogs getting rid of Clint Capella.
Sports Analyst
They gonna get rid of him. Nah, y'all don't be playing it.
Former NFL Player
He been hurt.
He hurt.
Sports Analyst
Well, let it rehab with the Lakers.
Former NFL Player
Hey, he was hurt. He was hurt pretty much the past two, two, three months of the season, man. Like, you know, like I said, I started in five. We had two starters miss out to start in five. So you know, it was tough for us. But shout out Dyson, Dyson Daniels for winning. For winning. What was it? Most improved.
Sports Analyst
Most improved. The Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff U. Apologized publicly today for the leak of Shador Sanders private phone number and his son using it to prank call the quarterback during the NFL draft. My actions of not protecting confidential data were inexcusable. My son's actual actions were absolutely inexcusable. And for that, we are both deeply sorry. Earlier today, the NFL fired the Falcons a quarter of a million dollars and Ulbricht himself was fined a $100,000. In response to the situation, the NFL said the fines were failing to prevent the disclosure of confidential information distributed to the club in advance of the NFL draft. Ubrik said neither him nor the Falcons would be appealing to fight. I promise my son and I will work hard to demonstrate we are both better than this. Don't y'all start with you football question. Do you think that was a fair punishment?
Former NFL Player
I think it was a fair punishment. When you think about the fine amount for entities like the Atlanta Falcons, that ain't nothing, you know, say, dropping the bucket, 250,000. I mean, what is that going to do now for the coach who doesn't make millions of dollars like the players do? Now, that might hurt you a little bit. That might hurt you a little bit. The punishment, I guess, is. Is it serves and it is do right. I think the son needs to be punished. That's a more of a personal issue for the dad to take care of on his end, especially for taking away that moment from Shador Sanders, a moment like that that he's worked for, obviously.
Sports Analyst
Inserting himself into that moment, into that.
Former NFL Player
Moment, you know, wanting, Wanting to go viral. Being that we're in that era right now, Unc, you say it all the time. Everybody don't play the same, especially with a moment like that. Outside of that. That's, That's. That's pretty much it. That's pretty much. I, I think it was. I think it was fair. I think it was fair.
Sports Analyst
I do, too.
Former NFL Player
Obviously, the, The. The fine amount, finding the Falcon.
Sports Analyst
I think it was just. I think it was. I think it was a. Just a, just. I think it was a just amount to be fined.
Former NFL Player
Yeah.
Sports Analyst
So I, I don't have no problem. I don't know why they would. Because if you have something in your possession, it's up to you to protect it. Right. Right. So how and why he did it, the son. Yes. We all know the son shouldn't have done this, but it was. It's up to the defensive coordinator to protect that information.
Former NFL Player
Absolutely.
Sports Analyst
To make sure his son can't get it. So I don't have a problem. What you think, Joe?
Former NFL Player
You don't expect the son to go in stuff though, huh?
Hey, look, I agree with the punishment. It's almost like Ocho, if your son go and take your gun and do something, he ain't got no business, you should be punished for it, bro.
Sports Analyst
You should. Yep. And you will. Yeah.
Former NFL Player
You should be punished for that. So it's. It's almost the same thing, if you ask me. His son got some information that he knew he shouldn't have been messing with, and these are the repercussions of it, man.
Yeah.
Sports Analyst
Yes. It's up. It's up to the dad to secure that information.
Former NFL Player
Absolutely.
Sports Analyst
Yeah. Yeah. The son's older. Coachell. Yeah. We both know the kids. 21, 22 years of old. He know right from wrong. He know he shouldn't have done that. But that was his moment to go viral. He wanted that click. He wanted that mention. He wanted that viral moment even at the expense of his dad or putting his dad and the Falcons in harm's way. Bro, who you on camera? Maybe if you do it and you don't show your face, they might not know who it is. But you put yourself on camera.
Former NFL Player
Yeah.
Sports Analyst
So with that being said, I agree. Over 10 players have reportedly they were prank called during the NFL draft. Shador Sanders, Shiloh Tyler Warren, Kyle McCord, Mason Graham, Chase Lutz, Josh Connolly Jr. Abdul Carter and Isaiah Bond offer for those guys didn't even get a check. Some of those guys didn't even get drafted. How does the league. Because you see what happens now. Now this has always been a standard. Ocho, where you gonna be at, right? You know what? No cell phones, Ocho. Well, I'll be at my brother's house. Here's the number. Well, I'll be at my grandma house. Here's the number. Everybody such and such now, you know, everybody got a cell phone and now, you know, to keep from. And I think this is what they do. A lot of agents are having guys getting new cell get us just for this moment. Just for this moment. Cause you know, you got homeboys be wanting to play great play games. Cause I know if I'd had a cell phone, my homeboy like, hey, nah, nah. You think you.
Former NFL Player
You think you have homeboys, they play like that, huh?
Sports Analyst
They woulda.
Former NFL Player
In, in. In this, in this moment. Your, your, your. Your most proud.
Sports Analyst
No, no, I don't think. No, I don't know. No, no. Burns bucket. No, they wouldn't play like that.
Former NFL Player
The anxiety and excitement that you have in that moment, I can't even explain it. So I'm trying to put myself in their shoes. If I got a prank call like that, I would have, man.
Sports Analyst
What hey, but. Hey, but here's the thing, Ojo, somebody calling. They just been calling the ain't. Is your brother home? It ain't like, hey, man, don't try to lie. Don't try to lie to me. Hey, man, anybody got. Hey, my brother expecting a call, so forth and so on. Yeah, but if it had been way back in, because the thing was, it used to be Joe. I don't know if you remember this. They used to be, you know, community line. So everybody that was on that. In that neighborhood was on that line, right? So, Ocho, you be on the phone. Joe, phone busy, too, or. Joe, pick up the phone. I can hear Joe. I can hear Joe talking. Hey, Joe, man, I'm expecting to call. Can you get up the phone for about five minutes. I had to get Joe to hang up, and Joe a half a mile from me because everybody was on a community line, right? So it wasn't until you got an individual line that you could actually pick up the phone and call. Or if you on the phone, the phone busy. That was before they got called waiting. Now, you know, you know, you. The thing you click over. But it wasn't no call waiting. There was a community line and everybody was on it. So I can just imagine you at your mom house and you waited and somebody on the phone talking. Well, so we was going to drive you with the field pick, but we couldn't get through to you.
Former NFL Player
We was going to have them lines clear that day. It wasn't going to be none of that. Hey, y'all gotta chill.
Sports Analyst
But how do they fit? Oh, Joe, how do they. How. How does the league fix this?
Former NFL Player
I mean. I mean, I don't. I don't even think it's a league fix. It's more of a personal fix on your end, you understanding you don't expect your son to go do nothing like that.
Sports Analyst
Well, damn. Everybody's son did this. We know about who was these other guys that got great.
Former NFL Player
I think it all came from one person. That's what I think. No, you don't think so.
They can track that.
I think it all came for one person.
Sports Analyst
It was a different person. It was a different person for Isaiah Bond.
Former NFL Player
No, I'm. No, I'm saying the numbers got out.
Sports Analyst
Yeah, but I'm saying Coach.
Former NFL Player
Coach had. They had everybody's number, huh? Yeah, they had everybody's number. So I'm saying he could have gotten every number and given him.
Sports Analyst
Oh, so you saying. So you saying the guy went in the phone, The. The Falcons guy, Jeff Uber son he went in there and disseminated other people.
Former NFL Player
Yeah, that's what. Yeah, that's what I mean. Okay.
Sports Analyst
That's, that's, that's like, that's probable. That's. That's prob.
Former NFL Player
How nobody else has got in trouble. I know, I know they didn't record themselves, but it only makes sense. It all probably came from one person. You know, young folk.
Sports Analyst
Okay, I can see that.
Former NFL Player
I can see that young folk play like that.
Hey, man, time out for the game, bro.
Sports Analyst
Yeah, not. Not in everything. Everything ain't Kiki Key.
Former NFL Player

Sports Analyst
But they won't let you go unless he spayed a nudity. He can't go.
Former NFL Player
Ain't having no joke.
I've never heard that rule. Now what's the. What's the reason? Now, especially if your dog isn't trained and had discipline.
Sports Analyst
What you think the reason is?
Former NFL Player
Yeah.
If your dog trained, he's just gonna jump on people dog.
Sports Analyst
It does not matter. They're not. They're not taking no chances. And a lot of times dogs that have that are intact, they're a little bit more aggressive, they have a little bit more testosterone.
Former NFL Player
Yes, sir.
Sports Analyst
And so you know What? To keep that down. Keep him. Say I really never been to a dog park. And that's okay. Yeah. Say I've been my dad's backyard. We in the backyard. I'll be chasing Teddy. Sometimes they chatty. A chicken, though, he'd be running. I'll be trying to get him, though.
Former NFL Player
And you got.
You gotta.
Sports Analyst
Gotta.
Former NFL Player
You gotta put your dog around other dogs, you know, to. To allow them to see what it's like to be amongst it.
Sports Analyst
But he don't. If he saw a dog down, I mean, he. If he wasn't, like, when I'm walking him, he'd just look at a dog like, what you doing? He don't. I mean, he not. He not aggressive to. He's not aggressive towards dog right now.
Former NFL Player
I had.
Sports Analyst
I've had dogs that were aggressive towards dogs, but he not one. He not. He. He a baby. I mean, talk a man. I had a bull mastiff. Yeah, I had two. But talker man, he see a dog, he look at him like.
Former NFL Player
What'S up with the master breed? What's up, White? You like the master breed?
Sports Analyst
I do. I do. Well, I've had. I've had a key. I had a Makita. That was the first dog. That was the first dog that I actually owned. Yeah. And then I got two Pomeranians. And then I got two bull mastiffs. I got one. And then I thought he needed a buddy to play with, and so I got another one. And then I got. After they passed, I got. I got tight, man. And then I got another Pomeranian.
Former NFL Player
I got a. I got a presser. He the same color as Titan.
Sports Analyst
He's a big boy. Yeah. Who you get it from? You get it from Atlanta?
Former NFL Player
I got it from a guy in Canada.
Sports Analyst
Okay.
Former NFL Player
Where he at?
He. He. He in there. Ojo. I ain't bringing him in here right now.
Let me see him, man.
Talk to you one day. Ocho, just relax.
Come on, man. Go get that done.
Sports Analyst
Tell you what, you gonna see Titus up close in person. You'll give me my.
Former NFL Player
Hold on one more time. Wait. Where the extra 700 come from?
Sports Analyst
15% tariff, 50%. He said CAM Newton. Cam Newton calls out Shador Sanders for acting like a DB and being too loud. Lead with work, not clout. He took on a Persona of a db. Db. You're able to do certain things. You can speak loud, be rambunctious, and have bravado as a quarterback. Your CEO, Ocho, do you agree with this?
Former NFL Player
I mean, in a sense, a little bit. In a sense that a Little bit. You got to conduct yourself a certain way at that specific position. At that specific position. You got to conduct yourself a certain way. You got to carry yourself a certain way. You got to talk a certain way. PC almost. I kind of even don't like it. But obviously, you're not in there yet. You're not there yet. You haven't made it yet. So once you get there, if anything, you got to play the game a little bit. You got to play the game a little bit. This is why I love Lamar Jackson so much. Lamar Jackson has been Lamar Jackson since Louisville. Lamar Jackson had been Lamar Jackson since he was that Boyd in high school. So Lamar Jackson, even in NFL, he's still Lamar Jackson. He hasn't changed to conform to the ways in which they say a quarterback should be in talk, in dress. He's remained authentically himself. So Shador, his approach to the game is a little bit different. He's a little bit more flashy, a little bit. He has a little bit more aura and bounce to him and pizzazz that just. It comes with him. It comes with the last name in general. You know, that's just who he is, you know, and you understand what you get, and I understand what Cam is talking about. And Cam is one of. Cam is one of the.
Also.
He didn't change who he was.
Sports Analyst
He didn't change.
Former NFL Player
He was. He was authentically himself, and it remained that way. And he played at a very high level, but he didn't become that until he already got in the league. So, you know, Shador comes with. Shador come with the camera and the lights and the glisten glamour. Already he has it all before he even got to the NFL. So it's hard to tone that down and then bring it back out. But listen, he in there now, so the sky's the limits. Sky's the limits.
Sports Analyst
Joe, what's the basketball equivalent? Who is the situation that in the basketball they would like, you know, braggadocious, outgoing, flash, A lot of flash. A lot of stuff. We'll see if the substance that he had in college, if he could replicate that in the NFL. But who do you think would be the equivalent of Shador as a basketball player?
Former NFL Player
The only guy off the top of my head I could think is probably Lil Mikey, who just signed with Mike Diddy at Sacramento State.
Sports Analyst
Okay.
Former NFL Player
I think because since he was a. Mike Williams. Mike Williams, since he was a kid, you know, we've seen the. We've seen the talent. We've seen how he's captivated these Young kids, man. I've been in tournaments to where he's played at. I'm talking about the gyms. Be crazy packed out. So now that he has an opportunity, you know, he transferred from UCL to Sacramento State. Over there with Mike Bibby. I think Mike Bibby gonna give him the keys and let him kind of rock out as far as guard wise, handling the ball, making plays, scoring the ball. And I think, you know, I think he'll get a chance to really put his talent on display, to show the world what he's capable of doing. Cause at ucf, he was coming off the bench, he wasn't even really playing. But he had his moments, though. So I'm looking forward to him kind of taking college, college basketball by storm this year.
Sports Analyst
Yeah, people the chat saying Bronnie James. I don't think Bronnie Jeff Stock did. Nobody thought Ronnie James was going to be a lottery pick. Nobody thought Bronnie James was not rated as a top player in the draft. He probably got helped by his dad. I think had he gone back to school and had a year recovered because he's only a year removed from a very, very serious medical injury. A medical. Excuse me, not injury issue. Very serious. Yeah.
Former NFL Player
That's not a good comparison to whoever said. No, it's not. The cachet and the aura that each of them have is completely different. LeBron is LeBron's son.
Sports Analyst
Right.
Former NFL Player
But Deion. But Shador. And what comes with Shador is it's a little bit more. A little bit more light.
Sports Analyst
But Bronnie was never flashy. Shador was doing this.
Former NFL Player
Yeah, they be. Been doing this. Yeah.
Yes.
Sports Analyst
Yeah. Bronnie.
Former NFL Player

I mean, Shador more like Johnny Manziel or something like that. There you go. That's.
Former NFL Player
That's a good. That's a good comparison. That's a good comparison.
Sports Analyst
Yeah. Look, I think the thing is, Ocho, you and I spoke at nauseam about this. I think everybody's trying to figure out why, how, what happened, who did what to try to explain. Some things should be offered without explanation. Ocho, it's like, I don't know if you old enough to remember. You remember, Joe, you remember when people used to go door to door and they sold encyclopedias and dictionary.
Former NFL Player
I done bought a few of them. What you talking about?
Sports Analyst
Okay, so. So somebody come to the thing. Somebody Come like he bought them next house, didn't. Yeah. Maybe they need them. Maybe they need them and didn't want them. I don't know.
Former NFL Player
It's a good one.
Sports Analyst
We gotta stop. I mean, sometimes, you know, I ask no questions. Why? Okay. He has a chance now. He's there now where you got drafted. Yeah. There's money involved. Cause I'm sure he'd like to be on a first round pick, like to be on a top 10 pick, top five pick, because of the money. But I think if Shador is what many believe that he is, and I believe that he can play, you get it. It shouldn't be a problem.
Former NFL Player
And you know the funny thing about it is he gonna get to his money faster because you were a fifth round pick. You gonna get to it faster. All you gotta do, boy, put your head down and do what you always been doing.

Former NFL Player
Yeah, easily. Especially especially his rookie year. Cam. Cam. Cam might have a good shot at it too, obviously being a quarterback and touching the ball a lot more. But I don't.
