Wednesday night people talking sports stavros Halkias is in for kid show business
Anthony DeVito that's right I'm coming for your spot baby all right
DeVito sent me this week he sent me this weird photo last night he's on the road
in Minneapolis that is a very strange photo before we wrote you up he's trying
to seduce you so it's tougher she just got back from a
euro trip that's right I'm vacation Stavros I'm still in that mode you can
see clearly yeah just got back from the year trip and actually I'm doing my part
I'm trying to get I'm trying to reach out to Knicks I went to France and here's
a little little peace offering you know maybe let's get Frankie T yeah Frank
Ntilikina eat your heart out this is kind of like what it's kind of what Kyle
O'Quinn did for porzingis when he went to Latvia that's right you're coming
you're coming on the show Frank we feel it well coming up some of the some of
this stuff in the news here we got the Cleveland Indians this is huge yes this
is the best thing to happen to the Indians since um ever 200-year losing streak
and the Dodgers are right behind him we have a big show stavi I mean we got
Ansel Elgort from baby driver huge yeah - that's - Hollywood heartthrobs on the
show tonight baby you and him whats up
thanks for joining us thanks for having me man I love your shirt
thank you it's a good one throwback yeah throwback logo I mean throwing back to
the you know for me I was never alive during these times yeah obviously they
were good times so we haven't lived through the good stuff yet no not really
that's why I like you're younger than me like I had like the 94 and the 99 teams
you were you're probably too young for the 99 team I know yeah the first memory
I have of like Patrick Ewing was when he was like being traded and my brother is
like that guy he was like the best Knick and I was like oh that's too bad they're
trading him then but you were saying you like you feel like we're in a good place
I feel like we're in a great place I am so happy with everything well were you
like the Hardaway signing I think that that that he at least he's a young
player and I agree with that if he would have stayed on the Knicks and perform
like he did on the Hawks we would have signed him that's true it would have
been like we drafted this guy he's playing well we're gonna sign them
that's true that's what how long is that contract four years four years and he's
25 so it's it aligns with his prime it's fine
you like it I'm totally fine with that because I don't think porzingis is gonna
be like a championship winning guy for at least a couple more years or three
years I think for Lou the way he's progressing and way he's been playing in
Euroleague yeah yeah I mean I watch the highlights every game i watch his
highlights I don't watch the games but yeah me too i watch his highlights and
it's just like I'm not gonna sit through Latvia Slovenia
but yeah no I mean Willie looks great he looks great yeah it's exciting and
hopefully in you're high on Frank Nicolina - yes I am high on it I think
that I loved them when they did his first interview after the drafted him
they asked him what his favorite part of the game was and his best part of the
game he said defense yeah I think that's really nice and I also think that I mean
I think that these European guys and like a guy like Frank if you drafted an
eighteen-year-old American kid you never know what you're gonna get right because
sometimes they can be kind of headcases but I honestly think and I love America
obviously but I think that I think that a kid from France it's like he probably
got all his drinking and craziness out of the way when he was like 14 but you
have these kids who are playing basketball in America and like they're
not allowed to drink or do anything and look like you can't go out you like you
can't go to a club obviously and then they get an NBA contract and they are in
New York City and they're like oh 1 Oak Avenue every night and then you have you
don't know what you're gonna get but I think with Frank he'll be focused I
totally I totally like Frank and I believe in him and he's huge
yeah he's a point guard massive and for an 18 year old and he looks like a man
he does look like a man and I think you're right I think we should lower the
drinking age yeah I'm hesitant because it's a big deal with Tim but I like his
game I love it he's a shooter I love that there's aspects of his game that
make me think of Starks that make me think of like a gunner I get excited
about that yeah I think Tim has a good head on his shoulders also I met him
when he was on the Knicks the first time and he was super nice yeah and you see
movies he I think maybe he had yeah like I was one of those things where I asked
him for a photo and then he like came back was it oh can I get one on my phone
good yeah I mean because like sometimes I don't know you can tell when people
are nice people right away when you meet them like I got that would like
porzingis and like Hernangomez is like I've met them like briefly and they're
all really nice and some some players like I was at all-star weekend it's like
you go and say hi and they sort of like yeah thanks man a name Wow
no it's mean but I don't know you know so some of them were nicer than others
you know and and I Tim Hardaway who's he was a nice guy you could tell he was a
real dude so I saw a baby driver it's really good oh thanks be really good and
appreciate it was that exciting to work with that girl right it was awesome yeah
he's a great director he's awesome Edgar Wright is great because he has such a
specific style and a lot of film directors sometimes you're on set and it
feels a little manic and they don't know what they want ya relying on you a lot
to sort of like bring something in this house yeah I like that
but now let's try something totally different cuz I'm not sure what I want
yeah ed you're right it knows exactly what he wants we sat for like a month
before we started filming and did rehearsals on everything and working out
all the scenes and when we were finally on set filming it
everything was concise and it actually like it was one of the most easy breezy
experiences I've had filming something because I sort of knew I could show up
to set and rely on Edgar to tell me what to do and it was great it's probably
like having a great basketball coach yeah it's like you don't have to try to
create something every time it's like I imagine with Popovich all those players
just show up and say what do we do Popovich I think he's like a he's like a
D'Antoni director because it's like fast paced yeah it's like that's true got
like a vision right he's uh that's like three people probably got that reference
we got it we understood it I thought I made a really great point you guys gave
me silence but that's okay I mean you know I noticed when I first saw Shaun of
the Dead that it was like it moved so quickly like these quick cuts I mean but
that takes a lot of time I'm sure if you're you have to film so many
different angles be like if they films this interview would like 15 different
angles it's not happening with me cameras working with the budget here so
that was exciting who do you want to work with if you
could work with any director right now Chris Nolan that's a good call yeah I
mean Chris Nolan just does everything he does is great I think it's like he
doesn't really miss yeah it's like with Batman and stuff I mean like the head
man was unbelievable the Heath Ledger Joker Batman saying in Batman Begins
when I go to that dojo and the and he's training and then the Tom Hardy Bane
Batman yes the villains are so good knows Batman they're great which
infilling so is Bruce Wayne he's like he's not like a superhero he's like a
person he's so great I mean Christian Bale is probably one of
my top favorite actors you want to work with him yeah I'd love to him and Tom
Hardy I mean all the Christopher Nolan people it's like also I know if I was in
the Christopher Nolan movie I get to work with those guys yeah which would be
insane like you already have the cast it's like sort of like Edgar Wright he
put together this insane cast it's a director that puts together the cast
it's not really an actor right it's just like you've seen movies with some big
actors you might like and the cast around them isn't that great because
maybe they're getting paid to come on but it's a director who brings together
insane cast and Kristen was one of those people who does that you know it's crazy
so I so I was on the road one night and I just you know you know like the hotel
and it takes forever for the channels to change and you're like I give up
whatever this channel and it's Corden and you come on oh yeah and you sing I'm
easy with Jamie Foxx yeah and coordinate I was like holy crap
this guy's really talented wow thanks for what I do is a ruse
this is all a joke I just meant the comedy club that that's a different
aspect of performance I mean you're an actor but then I'm like you could be a
professional singer thanks man that's what I'm trying to do
that too I have an EP that I've been working on like five songs that are
finishing up right now and trying to put out in the next few months with music I
love it because I write the songs and I produce the songs and I'm in the studio
sort of orchestrating the project and it's versus it versus when I'm acting
sometimes I just show up to set and I have someone tell me what to do and I'm
a part of a great puzzle but it's not my puzzle but with music is my puzzle so I
really enjoy it for that reason and I'm excited for my EP to come out because
it's it's like my baby I'm excited man all right well we got more the ends well
go right after this people talking sports keep watching well back on people
talking sports we have a great panel today first off you know I'm from the
movie baby driver and I'm an adult with a learner's permit stavros halkias he
just got back from Greece the country of the musical you decide and he filled in
for John Starks last-minute six-man off the bench
the Sin City Cobra just like John Starks I was bagging groceries
this is an exciting story out of the gate
kristaps porzingis meets one of his idols
Andrei Kirilenko I love that porzingis has respect that could be Kirilenko that
could also be one of the kidnappers from The Big Lebowski I love that Kirilenko
he seems to be excited to meet these guys you know
crew says yeah he's excited too seems excited to meet Dirk Nowitzki Kirilenko
it's it's exciting to be a young guy because I read that Darko Miller chick
did not know any players now like when he got drafted he was like I'm gonna say
my favorite guy is Garnett because that's what they want was it seems like
porzingis is a student of the game and is actually savoring these moments I
don't think Darko knew him players he knew you're going to Detroit you know
he's literally a cherry farmer as we make fun of him he's sitting on fifty
million dollars LeBron Melo and DWade don't make much better cherries than him
yeah I mean you're a big porzingis guy big porzingis fan what yeah it has he
seen do you know if he's seen baby driver I don't know I think he's too
focused playing basketball he doesn't do anything but play basketball and fish
heads and his Instagram stories we was working out I do yeah he looks like The
Terminator and he looks like he's from Rocky
what is it Rocky 5 or suddenly yeah I mean when things really went downhill
the NBA is evaluating the draft lottery reform to discourage tanking in a
related story if this show doesn't improve we might be moving to Oklahoma
City I don't know I mean there's definitely there's reason to be
suspicious but then tanking doesn't always work or look at Orlando they've
sucked forever I like tanking I know it sounds weird
put your gloves on the top like supposed to be sir conference right Miami's been
the only squad that can consistently get big free agents Boston now only because
of Brad Stevens Brad Stevens leaves bye-bye everybody no one's coming for
chowder I'm in Chicago and even the next struggle now to get free agent so your
only chance now is to get lucky with the ping pongs so that you know like Europe
has like relegation and so with soccer so it's kind of fun if your team sucks
hey can we stay above or if your teams in the league League below it's like can
we make it up well this is this is the big this what keeps you interested in
March if you're a nets fan and you have your pick or someone else who's like no
good it's like oh my goodness are we gonna get those extra five ping-pong
think about that like that gives you hope it's like oh my god I hope the Cavs
beat us by 50 that's going to make the third
if that is your optimism when you're no good and you can't get free agents it's
your only hope but isn't that weird we have a system in
sports where it's like you're routing to lose yeah it's like it's bizarre I like
it I like it because I just wish more things work that way you know it's like
it's like I want to be rewarded for being bad at things that would be great
it's like I'm not it's not that I'm not having sex I'm just trying to get a
better position in next year's sex lottery go to the gym no thank you
you got a hot college prospect coming in next year I feel it yeah so they keep
trying taking new ways for the lottery I think the lottery all right should be
like the real lottery like you should be able you have to buy tickets so let's
say all right hypothetically you have the worst record all right so you get a
hundred like let's just say it's a hundred ping-pong balls you have to buy
them you get like an allotted salary cap to buy ping-pong balls every like five
years Wow so if you're tanking so like the Sixers have to make a decision every
year the last few years how many of these are we going to buy because
eventually even we have the worst record we're gonna run out of them so if you
get left with twenty in a five-year period then guess what you might as well
play hard the rest of that year and see what happens because your chances really
aren't that good if you end up with the worst record cuz you still can only buy
20 balls there you go Commissioner silver I'm higher
Stephon Marbury is coming back he he's planning to come back at 40 years old
he's been playing in China so I'm guessing his confidence is very high
he only has like 21 and a half in China which still sounds good yeah go from
Chinese link to the NBA I need 40 out of you because nothing for nothing when I
rolled out of bed I scored eight in China eight on the board in front of
Beijing's right there baby fallen out of bed well that's that's the funny thing
about this is I read the Instagram post where it talks about like he's making
the come back and he said he started by saying I wanted to end my career with
the Beijing Ducks but the GM had other ideas that's like if you're getting cut
by the Beijing ducks if the team that cuts you sounds delicious
no one goes from the Rome fettuccine alfredo
to me it's kind of like what Darren Williams did with it wasn't that good
you can't that's not the kind of player that's a spot-up shooter that's not the
kind of player that can't like touch the ball off the bench randomly hits a big
shot they need to feel it out they need to
have the ball in their hands that's why he he was probably good in China because
he literally no one else ever touched the ball no that's a great point it's
like the only way you can stay in the NBA if you're like 40s if you're a great
shooter if you're just like if you like you murdered someone with LeBron and he
just keeps you honesty James Jones why is he still hasn't won without him
though yes sure yeah I mean you're totally right I mean you need to be or
you have to be like Kevin Willis played forever you can be like one of those
bigs at plays forever subscribes 100 Reid bouncing yeah yeah Robert Parish
she played forever if you're big you can do it or if you're a talent well yeah I
mean Robert Parish played for a while on the bench with Chicago for certain other
reasons you know hanging out with Phil in hotel rooms late listen to Grateful
Dead this is huge news for Kobe the question was which number do you hang in
the rafters when you retire it I say his lawyers number cuz that one definitely
got them a couple extra rings his lawyers time
Kobe if you break up both his numbers you have one with eight all-star
appearances and one with ten one with two championships and one with three I
mean they're both Hall of Fame yeah one with two without Shaq though that's true
this argument hates it so I mean this I'm really far
away from I know we probably don't hate it cuz we're in New York fans but Kobe
with Shaq it's different if Kobe had never won those two championships
without Shaq I don't think it would be he would never be in the greatest of all
time conversation cuz today Shaq is the greatest of all time kind of guy I mean
that guy in like the playoffs what in the first year they won was
averaging like 30 and 15 in the playoffs here's my idea for Kobe instead of going
as 8 or 24 yeah guess what you brought Shaq big spike he should go as Shaq's
number Oh Shaq 34 yeah Bryant 34 that's what he should do
to me that's the most Kobe thing for Kobe to do yeah you were talking about
Europeans earlier though and Kobe is like a European American yes reason
Italy and it that's another example of like a guy who if he had fun at one
point he probably got out of the way in Europe having fun in Italy I mean I was
just in Italy yesterday man it's fun and I was like in the club and they were
like kids in there but it wasn't weird because here in Italy it's like kids
haven't find all about fun I'll be in Tampa this weekend I had a chicken
parmesan yesterday so basically the same thing we're back on people talking
sports with Liz Gonzales and another thing but before we get into that I have
to ask because when you guys were talking the only thing I could focus on
Ansel was your ring what's going on what is it oh it's a it's like crocodile
symbol has anything just a giant crocodile on your finger giant crocodile
I bought it in Italy I you know I secretly deep down I really want to be a
rapper I'm wearing a louis vuitton jeans and this is the closest rapper i'll ever
get by far the snazziest dress person we've ever had on the show I guess I
mean you're sitting with somebody in a Hawaiian shirt Old Navy baby
Louis Vuitton Old Navy and old homless man's jacket
is that what H&M stands for
here to throw down some knowledge you guys are talking about Marbury earlier
and in my opinion one of the saddest things an athlete can go through is his
inability to admit when it's time to hang up his cleats I'm looking at you
Adrian Peterson on Monday night in a game that was supposed to be a revenge
game against his former team he just didn't really show up six carries only
18 yards disappointing to watch and the only thing I could think was you should
have retired when you were released earlier this year because now he's 32
he's coming off of the worst season of his career and most importantly that
2,000 yard season is being masked by images of him yelling at Sean Payton on
the sidelines not a good luck yeah I just love though everyone is really big
on when people should retire it's like Oh their legacy these guys don't care
about legacy they care about being able to roof their house like when we make a
new kitchen like oh we should retire he doesn't care money make money that's
like what it's about like like he only has a few years especially the NFL most
the time it's not guaranteed money as a running back your shelf life is insanely
short yeah get paid stay on the sidelines until 50 if you can he's made his money he's
making half that salary that he was making last year so he's also to valued
himself and I think you should play another season and then next season he
should pay the Saints to keep playing there you go I think he should play for
the Beijing Ducks
yeah but I don't think it's about money for these guys that's the thing
AP's made money it's it's a pride thing this guy his whole life since he was
like 11 years old he's been incredible at football this is his life he doesn't
know what else to do like so go to a team where it makes sense go go to
Seattle you would be useful in Seattle they
don't need him and New Orleans I mean it would be like like for example we're
talking about earlier Adam Sandler just needs to stop making movies he was so
funny and engaging and like a big childhood favorite of mine and now it's
like what are you doing well we're comedians so we're not going to join you
on this you know think about casting littler Nicky thank you so much
Ansel Elgort for coming by Adam Sandler could also score 21 in the on the
Beijing duck if you haven't seen it see baby driver it's awesome keep watching
people talking sports and good night yeah
