Nightcap Hour 2: Bob Myers DEFENDS Jaylen Brown + Jaylen Brown & AJ Brown COUSINS + Trae Young Has MESSAGE for the LEAGUE + CHANGE of HEART from Tim Hardaway Sr. + Judge DENIES Terry Rozier’s BAIL CONDITIONS

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:00)
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.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (0:16)
That's a lot of like that. You're absolutely right.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:18)
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.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (0:31)
Yeah.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:31)
Okay. I'm glad you said that. So I'm glad you did that because the nuances of the game, Ocho, momentum, that's a nuance.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (0:39)
Yes.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:40)
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, cause I don't, damn, he be analytics man. Well, I'm more of an ITS type of guy myself, Joe. I mean, I understand.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (1:07)
Yeah, well, I'm talking about.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:08)
I think analytics, I think they're...

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

**Iso Joe Johnson** (1:12)
It has.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:12)
It has, Ocho. 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 your eyes tell you, man?

**Iso Joe Johnson** (1:37)
Yeah.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:38)
What your eyes tell you?

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

**Iso Joe Johnson** (1:44)
You're right.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:44)
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.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (2:05)
Every night. Every night.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:08)
That's gotta mean something.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (2:10)
Man, he's taking the toughest offensive assignment every night, bro, and still coming out getting 28, 30 points. Come on, man.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:20)
Yes. That's gotta mean something.
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? So my question is, Joe, who else you want to have the ball other than JB.?
Quater, Hauser, Pritchard, Derek, go back and look at, y'all better go back and look at Derek 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 and a curse. You're like, oh, oh, I could do this. Hey, ain't no turning back.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (3:32)
Hey, you heard him. Man say he felt like he came off his best season.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:36)
Ain't no turning back.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (3:38)
Most fun he had.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:39)
I think that was the coup d'etat.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (3:44)
Yeah.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:45)
When they heard him say that, my best season. I ain't trying to go back and have seasons like I had before. I'm trying to improve on this. I had 29 I'm trying to get 30, 31 They're like, well, how is this going to work with JT?
And then they use everything. This man is going to say, here's the usage rate at two players. You're about to say, Yannis, who's 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 going to be a problem.
Just say, little 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.
