Bob Myers also defended Jaylen Brown after Max Kellerman said analytics don't favor him. Myers pointed out, you know who else analytics didn't favor? Klay Thompson. Analytics doesn't value nuances of the game like shutting down the opposing team's best player.

**Chad Johnson** (0:16)
That's a lot of like that.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:17)
You're absolutely right. So how are those analytics when they was in the finals and they played Luca and he did that job on Luca. How was those analytics? See, it seems like analytics only favor a guy when it comes to offense, but it doesn't look at nothing about defense. Yeah. Okay. I'm glad he said that. So I'm glad they did that because the nuances of the game, Ochocinco, momentum, that's a nuance. Yes. We just turned the ball over.
We lost momentum. They've scored this many points. Nuances. Oh, it's fourth and three.
They said we should go for it a bit. Okay.
Okay. But I'm, you know what? I'm glad Bob Myers, because I don't, damn, he be analytics, man. Well, I'm more of an ITS type of guy myself, Joe. I mean, I understand. Yeah, well, I'm talking about. I think analytics, I think they're...

**Chad Johnson** (1:11)
It's ruined the game a little bit, man.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:12)
It has, Ochocinco. It really has. Because people put so much value in it and they look at pro football focus and they look at all these numbers. I mean, pro football focus might not like Jerry with all them shallow crosses and dig routes he was running.
What's your eyes tell you, man? Yeah. What's your eyes tell you?

**Chad Johnson** (1:38)
It's the best thing. And there are other measureables that analytics can't measure.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:44)
You're right. You're absolutely right. And that's how I'm looking at it. Clay, look, and give Jaylen Brown credit because he's taken a lot of times the best team, especially if he is a three or four or even a two, he's taken the best and still giving you the production that he's giving you. Every night. Every night. That's got to mean something. Man, he's taking the toughest offensive assignment every night, bro, and still coming out getting 28, 30 points. Come on, man. Yes. That's got to mean something. Oh, but the thing was, it's like, well, let's just say for the sake of argument, and they talk about his analytics that they were up through the roof. I think he was top five, maybe two or three, whatever the case may be. If his usage rate was 16 like it was with Jason Tatum, are they the two seed? Are they even going to make the playoffs? Yeah, I'm not. So my question is, Joe, who else you want to have the ball other than JB?
Quater, Hauser, Pritchard, Derrick, go back and look at, y'all better go back and look at Derrick White's numbers against Philly. Go look at his numbers. You want him with the ball in his hand? If JB doesn't do what he does, they're not making the playoffs. But it was a blessing or a curse.
You're like, oh, oh, I could do this.
Ain't no turning back.
You heard him. Man say he felt like he came off his best season. Ain't no turning back. That's the most fun he had. I think that was the coup de gras. Yeah. When they heard him say that, it was my best season. I ain't trying to go back and have seasons like I had before. I'm trying to improve on this. You know, I had 29 I'm trying to get 30, 31 And they're like, well, how is this gonna work with JT?
And then, they use everything. This man gonna say, here's the usage rate at two players. You about to say Yannis, whose usage rate is high as JB's. Guess what? So Yannis and JT, same high usage rate. Guess what? 70% of your cap tied up in two players. But that wasn't gonna be a problem.
Just say, look guys, hey, we just, but he can't say that, but we know. You can use that, but we know it was more to it than that.
Jaylen Brown reveals his cousins, he's cousins with AJ Brown. Take a listen to this guy.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (4:55)
What's crazy is that-

**Shannon Sharpe** (4:57)
There's no such thing as a cousin.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (4:58)
Oh, wow, wow. Really? I didn't know that my grandpa was a coachman. I think we're cousins. I don't think he know that either. His grandfather's brothers was my grandpa.
That's why I was crazy.

**Chad Johnson** (5:15)
Hey, that's dope.

**Shannon Sharpe** (5:15)
One guy shipped the Philly, the other guy shipped the Ballster.
