**Shannon Sharpe** (0:00)
Wemby just added, I just threw that one away, I messed up. We didn't play great as a team, we needed to win that game. This game was ours, but at this point, it's done. And I'm gonna regret it. Yes, of course, I'm gonna use that to fuel me and fuel us next game, absolutely. I could have been better at recovering from the high being in the conference finals. So basically, he said, look, that you were four, and you know, everybody said that, Joe, yes, we understand you should be excited, but you still got four more games to win.
And basically, he said, I'm still, I'm so high off of that, that I've allowed it to inhibit the way I play in the finals.
And that's why you can't get too high. But you know, the man 22, he just led a team to the NBA finals. There ain't very many 22-year-olds. Urban Magic Johnson, he was 20 in about 100 and something days leading the team to the finals. LeBron James did it at 22 Kobe was 20 I think Kobe was 22 when he won his first title.
Yeah, but you can't exhale. No, no, and not Wemby. Yeah. So it's not, I mean, you think about it, a guy's 22, there's been very many guys and he don't understand. Hey, Magic tells the story all the time, but he told it to us, his very first game. Passed Kareem, Kareem throw the sky hook, hit a game with his sky hook. Magic run down there and jump and hug him right in his neck like, hey Kareem, yeah Kareem. Kareem's like, how are you? He take your ass out. Get out of here, we got 81 more games. I tell you what, you hit 81 more of those, I would jump right in your damn arms.
It's such a gratifying feeling because when you see these game winners and things of a sort in the NBA, bro, you dream of these moments as a kid, man. You can't tell me here, I know y'all play football at the highest level, but here, I know at some point y'all probably was in your driveway shooting shots five, four, three, you know what I mean? You were catching a game-winning touchdown. I don't know how many game-winning touchdowns I'm gonna tell you called, but I done caught a couple of game winners, ain't nothing like it.

**Chad Johnson** (2:25)
Yeah, I mean, I've never caught a touchdown that was a game winner, like, going down and it's only a few seconds on the clock and you catch a game winner, and now I've caught and passed as a result in actually winning the game.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:37)
Yes, right, right, right, right.

**Chad Johnson** (2:39)
Do anything.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:39)
Yeah.

**Chad Johnson** (2:40)
Never a game winner like that, though. I ain't never had that.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:43)
Yeah, and that's, yeah, I've caught one, I think I've caught one in, well, I caught two game winners in Jacksonville.
That game that Jimmy Smith went off, Ocho, I caught the game winning touchdown. Really? Yeah, and then I went down there. My last year, I caught a game winning touchdown thing I caught with like 10 seconds on the clock. We had to lead the whole game. Them Juggles scored touchdown. We go right back down the field. They come with a blitz, they come with a bomb blitz, but they leave the end to cover me.
Ocho, I stutter, he paused.

**Chad Johnson** (3:17)
That was a wrap. Once he frees, it's over.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:19)
It's over, cause he can't start and stop like I can. And, but yeah, Joe, man, you know how many mother beaters I hit on my brother? Hey, even if I didn't hit a mother beater, I would throw it up and run in the house. I won, I won. My grandma be looking out the window to go out there, cause I would say I won and take the ball and throw it in the hall pen. My grandma be looking out the kitchen, take your ass back out there and get that ball. Hey, hey, your brother be ready to kick your butt too. Boy, Joe, he get so mad, Joe. Cause you know, hey Joe, I'm a sore loser, but I'm an insufferable winner.
I beat that big joker, that joker three years older than me. And I beat him, y'all. He can't beat me.
I already know, I already know what I'm feeling. Boy, my grandma, my grandma, Granny, Granny, that boy threw the ball in the hog pen. Granny, that boy put the football in the wood. I said, boy, kick your ass out there and get that ball. You know, my grandma start talking to me like I've been trillicuous, like she'd be talking through her teeth. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Boy, boy, you gon kick your ass out there and get that ball?
