00:00all right dave sports what do we got okay well we're gonna start with basketball where we have
00:05breaking news out of the nba yet again with the brooklyn nets as they have traded superstar kevin
00:12durant to the phoenix suns unbelievable the nets will receive mccall bridges cam johnson jay crowder
00:20and four unprotected future first round draft picks wow big haul for the brooklyn nets but
00:27still it's unbelievable i mean the nets are 10 games over 500 they're in the top five in the
00:34eastern conference it's like well let's rebuild and they've blown it up they have traded it's the
00:39first time any team in the nba ever has traded three all-stars in one calendar year last year
00:48they traded james harden to the sixers after he demanded to get out of there this year kyrie irving
00:55demanded to get to get traded so they sent him to dallas and now kevin durant decided listen you're
01:01not gonna keep anybody else let's just gotta get rid of me too so they they're moving him to the
01:06phoenix suns pretty uh stacked team kevin durant will now join devin booker and chris paul
01:13two future hall of famers and try to get the phoenix suns to a championship but it's also
01:19going to be interesting when durant on the suns now plays kyrie on the mavericks i could see that both of
01:24those are western conference playoff teams so interesting you're doing crazy you're doing well
01:29let's throw it all away anyway i mean after the kyrie deal had to get kyrie out of there after the
01:34kyrie thing i think it was that brooklyn was no longer appealing to kevin durant and this is just
01:39going to go down as one of the weirder things ever they were they they had gotten those three guys
01:44they had gotten into the playoffs they were playing great and then just everything fell apart
01:48pandemic you know tough tough series against the celtics and they were never able to recover from
01:53that loss a couple years ago um meanwhile the mint the knicks have made a trade of their own
01:59smaller trade uh they are dealing cam reddish and a couple other players to the portland trailblazers
02:05for forward josh hart hart is averaging 9.5 points per game he's also averaging 8.2 rebounds and 3.9
02:14assists so hopefully he will contribute to the knicks we had some local nba action last night as the
02:21sixers played the first place celtics and philly lost to boston 106 to 99 tonight the nets take on
02:29the bulls at the barclays center the knicks and sixers play each other tomorrow in philly and some
02:36more basketball news despite there being some gossip online that kareem abdul jabbar was not happy
02:42that lebron james broke his all-time scoring record hall of famer and jabbar teammate james worthy says
02:48that's not true uh worthy says that kareem was simply overwhelmed with emotion he was very happy
02:55for lebron and worthy says kareem is living his best life right now i mean i think that kareem
03:00abdul jabbar looked uh pretty damn cool man hanging out there giving the ball to him being part of the
03:06ceremony if you're not smiling people just they they they get all conspiracy theory then they think
03:12oh kareem looked mad and that was apparently james worthy says that was not the case i'm gonna trust
03:16james worthy you know he he played with uh kareem in the uh 1980s and won those five championships i
03:22like that kareem didn't like get wet way dressed up like he was wearing jeans he had that cool jacket
03:26on you know it was like he was he was just being himself kareem being kareem love it now i don't
03:32care how many points lebron scores can he fly an airplane no i don't think uh i don't think he's as
03:38good as uh pilot murdoch that's all i'm gonna say now i do know that lebron did not eat the fish
03:45so uh he might be okay uh hockey the devils uh they were uh inactive the flyers were inactive but
03:53the rangers played and they defeated the canucks four to three chris crider had a goal for the
03:57rangers in their victory this evening the devils go against the kraken at the prudential center
04:03and the flyers faced the oilers in philly football the nfl network has pulled analysts and hall of
04:08famer michael irvin from its super bowl coverage because of a strange interaction where we really
04:14don't have the details but the interaction was with a woman in a hotel lobby apparently it was just a 45
04:21second to one minute interaction as he was heading up to his elevator he said something apparently we
04:27don't know what what transpired but the woman complained to the hotel the hotel told the nfl
04:33network and the nfl network has immediately suspended him so you can't even talk to a woman
04:37tell her to go f herself in a hotel lobby when she says something rude to you well i don't okay i don't
04:42know what happened i don't know we don't know but i will say this i really do want to know the details
04:47on this there's a uh show that uh there there's a radio show that's that's you know in the super
04:54bowl right now yeah they said michael irvin was at the bar they tried to get him drink several times
04:58he declined he kept asking for ginger ale because he said i have to work tomorrow morning acting
05:03responsibly and the people at the hotel said i ran into michael irvin i got an autograph and he was
05:08totally fine so everyone's a little bit confused about this and finally baseball the yankees have
05:12announced spring training invitations to their two top prospects infielder anthony volpe and outfielder
05:21jason dominguez these two will be looked to add to this team in a big way because brian cashman did
05:27not go after any big time hitters this offseason supposed to be writing checks for every position
05:32man we got rodon who is a really really good pitcher and we were happy with that but we thought we
05:38should improve at least you know uh left field because erin hicks stinks i mean i want to go into
05:43the season so the key is i'm really rooting for anthony volpe jason dominguez i think uh no matter what
05:49happens i would put them on the major league roster it's time but if they don't if they don't click
05:53i say buy it i don't i mean let's be the evil empire let's go we're gonna get tagged with that
05:59anyway they gotta start writing checks they wrote one for rodon they wrote one for judge but we still
06:03need a little help with that lineup hopefully these two guys will be the key that is your quick look at
