**Shannon Sharpe** (0:05)
Ben Wallace says the 2004 Pistons will not take an anniversary vacation like the 2016 Cavaliers. We all a little bit different. We grew up in a little different era. Joe, I'm gonna start at you first, and then I'm gonna swing it to you, Ocho. What you think, Joe? Ben Wallace old school, bruh. But you know, that's the testament to Brian though. Brian a fun, loving dude, man. He enjoyed being around them cats, and they enjoyed being around him. I just think it's different. I have to say that Pistons team didn't hang out, because I'm sure they did.
But...

**Chad Johnson** (0:35)
What year was that?

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:37)
They won in, what was that, 2003, they won? That was... Yeah. They won in 2004? Yeah, they won in...
They won in what, 2001, 2002, and then 2003, and then, yeah, yeah. Because I think the Pistons won in 2004, right? I think so, 2004
Or the Pistons won in 2003 Lakers won in 2001, 2002 Yeah, they probably won in 2003

**Chad Johnson** (1:09)
Yeah, they had a whip, boy. I'm trying to think...

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:15)
But it's different now. Look, the way we think, these guys... First of all, y'all guys old, y'all decrepit, y'all gon need wheelchairs to get around anyway. Ain't nobody pushing nobody. These guys still in their 30s. Braun is the oldest one at 41 Most of these guys in their mid-30s.
Maybe Richard... I think Richard Jefferson came in the league before LeBron James. Richard, he had about 46
Yeah, Richard, because Richard played like two, three years in college. But look, it's a different time now. And I look, and for me, and I think he's saying, look, we like that. We don't really be traveling like that. That's what I took it. I think that because when you win a championship, you're just naturally close. It just is.
You have a bond. You have something that tied you together, that nobody, that's unbreakable.

**Chad Johnson** (2:16)
Hey, but you know what? I think that would be dope though. That would be dope for them to do that. So I'm looking at that roster from back in the days, right? I think it would be dope. So I'm thinking of the people that I know. Tayshon Prince, Ben Wallace, Rashid Wallace is fun. That's my dog, that's my homeboy. Rashid, she had Chauncey Billups. I could see them, Rip Hamilton. I could see them hanging out.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:37)

But Joe, what you talking about, Joe? But I had street bikes when I was playing.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:46)
You got a Harley big bike though.

**Chad Johnson** (3:48)
Yeah, I know. I want the big boy with the 30 inch reel. So I mean, sitting back, legs wide, listening to Frankie Beverly and Mays.
Hey Joe, I ain't going over 40, 50 miles an hour. I'm cruising.

**Shannon Sharpe** (4:00)
No, I'm good.

**Chad Johnson** (4:00)
Hey, with my cowboy boots on and a tank top.

**Shannon Sharpe** (4:03)
Four wheels and a top on it. That's why I get down and get on when he want no convertible no more.
No, I'm good. Hey, we got something for you though, Art. We got one for you. Yeah, I'm good. According to Adam Franklestein, the Hornets trading LaMelo Ball and Mile Bridges was getting rid of bad influences. They cleaned up the locker room, they're getting rid of the bad influences, they're bringing in professionals. Joe? Yeah. Listen, man. Does nice guys and we see this a lot, a lot, so I don't know. Look, I don't know nobody, I don't know anyone in Charlotte to confirm or deny this, but hey. Yeah.
