Tyler IvensHOST
How did you, how did you become a Philly fan?
JackUNKNOWN
Well, I'm from the Bay Area, and I grew up a Warriors fan, and I love Monta Ellis.
JackUNKNOWN
So when they chose Curry over Monta Ellis, I, I chose-
Tyler IvensHOST
Ooh
JackUNKNOWN
... a different team.
AlexHOST
People saw Steph Curry was gonna be the man in, in, you know, in college, and he came out of the tiny school in Davidson.
AlexHOST
Like, the Knicks wanted him and then, you know, the Warriors drafted him even when they had Monta Ellis-
MikeHOST
Yeah
AlexHOST
... and everybody knows the story.
J.E. SkeetsHOST
I'll take a, a, a classic, uh, delusional guy, overconfidence guy that was, like, pre-Curry, so I love this Warriors chain we have going here.
J.E. SkeetsHOST
Monta Ellis has, uh, gotta be in the mix for this.
J.E. SkeetsHOST
He's a Dion Waiters type.
J.E. SkeetsHOST
He was fun as hell to watch.
J.E. SkeetsHOST
Overconfident guys
Tas MelasHOST
...
Tas MelasHOST
Monta Ellis was great, 'cause he, this was before podcasts.
Tas MelasHOST
He just said in an interview that he belongs in the Dwyane Wade group, like he was that good.
Witness 2KHOST
I only opened up one of those Series 2, so I'm gonna open up at least two more of these until we move on.
Witness 2KHOST
But Chris Bosh, um, Monta Ellis, and Alonzo Mourning.
Witness 2KHOST
Let's hit another one of these one more time, and then we're gonna jump over to the Series 3.
Witness 2KHOST
Come on, LeBron.
Shannon SharpeHOST
Yes.
Shannon SharpeHOST
Did you hear what Monta Ellis said?
Skip BaylessGUEST
No.
Shannon SharpeHOST
He said given the same set of circumstances, if you replace him, replace Steph Curry with him, they win the same number of titles.
Skip BaylessGUEST
[laughs] Monta Ellis said that?
Shannon SharpeHOST
Yeah.
Skip BaylessGUEST
Stop it.
Brian WindhorstHOST
Do you remember the other well-known lying about an injury thing?
Tim MacMahonHOST
Yeah, Monta Ellis and the scooter.
Brian WindhorstHOST
That's right.
Brian WindhorstHOST
That's, that's-
Brian WindhorstHOST
...
Brian WindhorstHOST
the classic one.
Brian WindhorstHOST
So Monta Ellis was playing with the Warriors.
Brian WindhorstHOST
He was pretty much their franchise player at that time.
Max ArizinHOST
They tried playing Steph together with Chris Paul.
Max ArizinHOST
And as we learn with Monta Ellis, you cannot put two small guards together in this Warriors backcourt and expect them to be successful.
Max ArizinHOST
Remember, with Monta Ellis, Monta went to the front office like, all right, look, this isn't going to work.
Max ArizinHOST
You either got to trade me or you got to trade Steph.
Max ArizinHOST
You can't keep us both.
