Now back to you better, you bet with Nick Costos on Westwood One Sports. All right, so thank you, Zidola, for you wrap up the show with a flurry of items for you. And yours, three tremendous guests joined us on you better, you bet. Our friend Brad Evans, Ben MGM tonight, weeknights on Westwood One Sports, 6-11 PM Eastern, Ross Tucker of the Ross Tucker Football Podcast, thanks to Ross, and just joined by Law Murray who covers the NBA for the athletic. Our crew, Bill, Tyler, Kenny, Mike, and Dan. Shout out to them, Black and Abdullah coming up next on Westwood One Sports. We will answer the trivia question in just a moment, but want to pay off a ton of tweets and YouTube comments that we've gotten for today. Bill will read the tweets. I'll give you the YouTube. Bill hit us with some of the real one tweets today. All right, Nick, let's start with the reaction to BAM if they liked it, didn't like it. The SC rambling says, couldn't care less who had the record, Kobe didn't even have it. But stat padding has always been considered. Disrespectful will always be criticized and for a good reason.
It removes authenticity. This was stat padding in the extreme, a bummer because he's a good player. Norman Davis says 83 is 83, 43 free throws is diabolical, intentionally following is a bit bushly, but it happens so no need for an asterisk, no one can erase it. Sean Fox plays, this is on if the Ravens did dirty by backing out of Max Crosby. Yes, they manipulated the market after all the real money was spent and Trey had few options and they were able to get their need for less money and keep their picks. They've done this kind of move before and Daniel K993, what did they do? Every team had a chance to trade for Max and sign Trey. They didn't like what they saw on the MRI. Trey was the same price they had for Max, it was perfect timing. So there you go, little sample from the real ones. And let's go to YouTube, youtube.com, backslash at the costos, our friend Brian says it's going to piss some people off in the league. But if he's the Ravens, he's got two words for you, Super Bowl.
And if you're not down with that, he's got another two words for you. Check out the old DX videos if you want to know what those are. New dual says the Ravens had buyers for Morse, the entire NFL knew that Crosby wasn't healthy yet. They lost everyone in free agency. He hates what the Baltimore Ravens did. Our buddy Gage, the Ravens didn't realize how many players they were going to lose in free agency and decided that they could sign Trey and keep their picks. They're allowed to do it, but it feels bush league. And our friend Mark says the NFL is to stop putting games on random days, especially heavy travel days like Thanksgiving Eve. Mark I agree. We have to draw the line somewhere with all of this from the National Football League. Bill, just reiterate, please, the trivia question of the day today and we will attempt to answer it myself, Tyler and Gatty. All right. So it is three players have scored 62 or more points, but average less than 20 points per game for their career. One is BAM. One is a guy named Joe Fulkes who did it in 1949 and there is a third.
Who is the third? All right. I'm going to guess first. I am almost certain I'm wrong. Brandon Jennings will be my guess. I am almost certain I'm wrong about that, but my guess will be Brandon Jennings. Tyler Morales, would you like to fathom a guess? I think Brandon Jennings only scored 55. I think that was what it was. Tracy McGrady, I know he had a bunch of low years. We scored like five points, so my guess is Tracy McGrady. McGrady definitely averaged more than 20 points per game for his career. I think so, at least. Teddy, your guess? I'm going to guess Dremel Crawford. I think he only got to like 59. So it's probably a bad guess. My other guess would be Karl Anthony Towns because I knew it. No, he actually scored 62. The only issue he probably averages like 21 per game in his career. So that's probably wrong answers. All right. Bill, before you tell, are we wrong, just like a yes or no? Somebody has the correct answer. Wow. Who has the right? I don't think it's me. Who has it right? It, uh, Karl Anthony Towns averages about 22 a game. It is not him. Jamal Crawford and Jennings, they did not get to 62 points.
Tracy McGrady averaged not to end point six points for his career. Wow. Tyler, did you look that up? No, but he, I mean, he wasn't good for it until like it's fifth year season in the NBA and then he found that had those low years like the nicks at the end of his career. I thought that was pretty, uh, Tracy McGrady was a nick. Is that a thing? Does that like the like the Mandela effect like that actually happens? It's a god unbelievable, uh, great job by Tyler, Tracy McGrady, the answer to the question. I thought I had it with Brandon Jennings. Okay. Uh, we got, we got, we're going to have to race to the finish line here. Uh, we need to get this audio into the show. Jalen Brown getting ejected from last night's Celtic Spurs game, Kenny. Jalen Brown off. He thought he was pushed out of bounds. He's telling Tyler for it. He made it back to the ball here. He made pick a potential here. He ran at four to catch the board there and it took him to his heart. You can't have got pushed out of bounds. And you might be right.
Yeah, but I can change it. Oh, he just did. Oh, my goodness. Come on. So Jalen Brown thrown out of the game, NBC and peacock on the call, Mike Jericho, Reggie Miller and company. I bet the Celtics in the game would have really liked if Jalen Brown didn't get thrown out because the Celtics, you know, San Antonio pulls away in the fourth quarter or 12-0 run. The Spurs continue their incredible run of basketball. Uh, and you know, when Brown got ejected, Boston was winning at the end of the second quarter, 51-48. Yada, yada, yada, spurs win again. I lose my bed. Jalen Brown, you're awesome. In the MVP race, you've been great. Also, can you please keep your cool? And just to toss this note in, ESPN's Adam Shaftar tweeted that Daniel Jones, who we just told you signed a new two-year deal with the cults up to $100 million. Is expected to be ready to start week one. We'll talk more about that on the show tomorrow, but we got to close the show with all our bets for tonight.
There's no better place to be during March, matchups than Vegas in this year. Next week, college basketball fans can win a VIP trip to the court of legends event featuring the Cavendor twins. Simply play sports bets, honestly. The Cavendor twins would probably be impressed by Tyler's sports knowledge that he got tracing with Grady as the right answer.

Make this March one to remember, join the court of legends leaderboard. So you can make it legendary. Okay, couple bets for me tonight. Last night in the NBA, I told you that the Celtics would cover against us first. But I also told you that the Toronto Raptors are a bad against good teams.
We bet the Rockets last night. Market move towards Toronto, the Rockets won by double digits and covered. Tonight, the Raptors are on the road at the New Orleans Pelicans. Last I checked the Pelicans stink, which means this is a spot to bet the Toronto Raptors Raptors money line for yours truly tonight in New Orleans. Also going to take the points with West Virginia, the Mountaineers plus four and a half or five, whenever number you could get against Aj DeBonza and BYU, fading BYU coming off DeBonza's 40 piece yesterday against Kansas State. And I haven't placed this bet yet. But with Louisville star freshman Michael Brown out for the out for Louisville in today's game against SMU, kind of want to lay Louisville minus six and a half against SMU. I haven't done it yet, but I might. Raptors money line West Virginia plus the points for sure with from me with me from me, whatever. I have a cold. Give me a break. Can't wait to talk to everybody tomorrow on a tremendous sports Thursday.
