On this installment of The Kevin O'Connor Show, New York Knicks superfan and Yahoo's own Ariel Helwani stops by to demand RESPECT for his squad! Ariel is tired of national media — including TNT's "Inside the NBA" — disrespecting a Knicks team that has been rolling as of late. Ariel is sick of hearing the tired take that Coach Thibs plays his starters too many minutes. Helwani didn't stop there — he thinks Josh Hart is hooping like a "top 24 player" in the NBA! And that Jalen Brunson is the "pound-for-pound" #1 player in the NBA. And Karl-Anthony Towns gets some major love for his defense against Nikola Jokic — despite Draymond Green thinking otherwise on social media.Speaking of Dray's beef with KAT, Ariel explains why he wants to see the two of them duke it out in the octagon. And while we're at it, who would win in a real fight between Shaquille O'Neal and Dwight Howard?Don't miss Kevin's takes on the NBA All-Star Reserves and snubs. KOC thinks *5* players should have gotten in before Jaylen Brown (!), has thoughts on Trae Young's snub, and explains why the Kyrie Irving omission was so glaring. Houston Rockets fan and podcast personality Roosh Williams stops by on this episode for a deep dive on Clutch City, including his thoughts on Alperen Sengun making the All-Star reserves over Domantas Sabonis of the Sacramento Kings. Plus, could Houston be in the running for Kevin Durant sooner than we think? Between the Terror Twins, Rockets trade ideas and Amen Thompson's rise — it's all here on this installment of The Kevin O'Connor Show!(1:10) - All-Star Game snubs(13:40) - Grizzlies defeat Rockets 120-119(18:40) - Rockets deep dive with Roosh(39:20) Talking Knicks with Ariel Helwani(42:20) What trade should the Knicks do?(44:50) Knicks trade for Boucher?(48:20) Draymond disrespects KAT(51:20) Hart's performance this season(53:20) Are the Knicks legit contenders?(57:00) Thib usage of starters(1:03:00) NBA teams should stick to color schemes(1:04:20) NBA Cup improvement & expansion(1:07:20) Best ‘pound-for-pound' NBA player(1:08:50) NBA players in the octagon?(1:12:00) Ariel Helwani on the Buffalo Bills(1:17:00) Are the Knicks legit contenders? continued

Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com X/IG: @RyanHawk12   https://twitter.com/RyanHawk12 Ariel wants to be the "Howard Cosell of MMA". “I got the interview skills from my mom, who my friends would always call for advice, and the work ethic from my dad, who never gave an excuse or took a sick day." "So one of the things that early on, before I became a dad was I want to be omnipresent. I believe in this quote from Woody Allen "80% of success is just showing up." I want to be at every single event. I want to be the guy that people when they think of big fights, they think of me. Howard Cosell, of MMA, all that stuff and more." Ariel's Parents: "My mom still watches my show every week, and it's a long show about a topic she doesn't know a hell of a lot about. But she does it because she loves and supports me." "She's the mom that a lot of my brother's girlfriends and stuff would stay in touch with, even after they broke up. Because she just had that connection with people. She asks questions, she listens, she has a good mind and eye for things." "My dad is a workaholic, and he'd be the first to tell you that. He's the kind of guy who, every day, I'd see him Monday through Friday, wake up, go to work at around seven, come home at around seven. He would have this massive box of papers, he would sit at the dinner table, and he would work on all the papers. He would take his shower at like 9:30, go to bed, and start over again, and he couldn't have been happier." Syracuse: In 9th grade, he was reading Sports Illustrated and learned that the U.S.'s top sportscasting degree is earned at Syracuse. Bob Costas went there. Marv Albert went there. So he went to Syracuse. Being homesick and full of anxiety in college: "I wouldn't want to go to the dining hall to eat, so I just stocked up on Blue Diamond almonds. Which I have a hard time eating till this day because it reminds me of those days. Chef Boyardee, Alphagetti, that's what I was eating. I was watching sports in my room, by myself, I had a single room, and I was just crippled with this anxiety. And every time I would leave home to come back to school, like Thanksgiving break was over, and whatnot, Christmas break, I was sad. I was down." When he knew he wanted to cover MMA – back home in the fall of 2006 when he found himself in Champs Sports Bar, on Saint Laurent Boulevard, where the TVs were tuned to a UFC pay-per-view special. When the Quebec-born fighter Georges St-Pierre beat up Matt Hughes and scored a TKO to win the welterweight championship, “the place explodes like the Canadiens just won the Stanley Cup. And I'm like: ‘I want to be a part of this sport.'” Being the Heel – He learned from Howard Cosell, who was known as a heel, the pro wrestling term for the bad guy who people tune in to see fall.  “Heelwani” What does it take to be a great interviewer? Be prepared. Ask thoughtful questions. Don't script the conversation. LISTEN. Ask better follow ups. Make it feel more like a conversation. Feuds with Dana White: "I'm the type of person who doesn't back down, in large part because of my parents and my family, and they never back down, so how could I? And why should I? Especially if I'm not doing anything wrong. So I would say I never sought it, I always try to diffuse it, privately. I don't try to get into Twitter wars and things like that, with other people. Where it seems like they spend their life over there trying to go back and forth. That being said, to your point, which is a great point, having an understanding of pro wrestling, and storylines, and feuds. And I come out of my ESPN chapter as Helwani, and punching back, and it's "High road Helwani, no more" and all that. Yes, sure, there's a little bit of pro wrestling in there, and I love pro wrestling. And I believe that there are a lot of elements in pro wrestling in a lot of different walks of life, including politics and whatnot. Good guy/bad guy, heel/face, all that stuff." How conduct a great interview? "You have to listen, you have to be ready to open your mind, open your heart, and not feel, again, like you're just coming out guns blazing, and hitting someone with haymakers. Listen to them, be soft, be gentle, be welcoming. But, again, Howard Stern, no one did it better, he breaks you down to the point where you think that you're just two guys sitting around, or a girl and a guy sitting around, and there are not even cameras or microphones. They forget that they're on a show, if you're empathetic, if you're warm, if you're welcoming, that's the best result." Make the ASK - Ariel knocked on the door of a senior executive at ESPN. The guy didn't even know who he was. And he asked to be a sideline reporter at basketball games. The senior exec said nobody had ever done that in 20 years. If you want something, ASK for it. Steve Jobs said the difference between the people who dream about stuff and the people who make it happen is the willingness to ask. You gotta ask. "I walked into his office, and there's a lesson, I think, here, for a lot of people. And I was like, "Hey, I have no credibility in the world of basketball, very few people know who I am. I don't have many sources. But if you ever need someone, in the 11th hour someone gets sick, someone gets hurt, I'll be your guy. I'll be your sideline reporter. I know to do that. And he said, "I'll be honest; I've never heard of you. I've never seen MMA. I've never seen your work. But I've been here 20 plus years, and no one has ever done what you just did, so I'll keep you in mind." Which was an amazing thing to hear, and mind-blowing that no one does that. All the offices are right there, just knock on the door."

WWE has reportedly set its sights on "Switchblade" Jay White for their big Wrestlemania season free agent signing but that may not be the biggest news. According to recent reports, the company is interested in none other than Kenny Omega, the star and executive vice president of AEW, and IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion. Omega's contract is believed to be up or nearing its expiration date, although there is speculation that it could be extended due to injuries. Omega and his Elite stablemates The Young Bucks have had a highly successful four years with AEW, but it seems that WWE may have a plan for how to use Omega if they can convince him to join the company. Cody Rhodes, who helped create AEW alongside Omega and The Young Bucks, returned to WWE last year and is now set to compete for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in the main event of WrestleMania after winning the 2023 Royal Rumble. Could Omega be next in line for a big push in WWE?  Also, AEW owner Tony Khan has taken to social media to criticize mixed martial arts reporter Ariel Helwani for his relationship with WWE, a company he reports on. Helwani appeared on "WWE SmackDown" to promote Montreal native Sami Zayn's promo and narrate a video about his main event match against Roman Reigns at the Elimination Chamber premium live event.This feud has stemmed from a past interview when Helwani asked Khan about the infamous media scrum and subsequent backstage altercation after AEW All Out 2022 involving CM Punk. Khan declined to comment, leading to Helwani calling it one of the most frustrating interviews of his career. Michael Cole even got involved in the argument, throwing shade at Helwani during commentary at the Elimination Chamber event. While Ariel Helwani is a respected journalist, his relationship with WWE has caused some backlash, and his appearance on the company's programming has sparked this feud with Khan. Finally, JDfromNY will go over the FALLOUT of the 2023 WWE Elimination Chamber, and the major storyline of Jey Uso, Sami Zayn, and Roman Reigns coming out of last night's EPIC main event, Mercedes Mone winning the IWGP Women's Championship, CM Punk showing up at Battle In The Valley, and more!

This week, the guys talk about Elimination Chamber. The PLE was an eventful one, and was definitely one of the most emotional events ever produced. Brad has strong feelings about the outcome of the main event, and Tyler has strong feelings about the booking of that same match. In San Jose, Mercedes Moné defeated Kairi to become the second ever IWGP Women's Champion. They had the longest match on the card, and the fellas break it down (and may or may not fantasy book.)AEW Dynamite was pretty mediocre this week, and after Rampage aired early, Tony Khan took to Twitter to verbally attack Ariel Helwani for being biased when he showed up on SmackDown (and Elimination Chamber). Tyler uses his skills as a journalism major to give us some insight.Brad says something he shouldn't be allowed to say (no, not that), and Tyler drops a gem from 2014. A-Game? Maybe not. But Tyler still brings his thoughts on Knock at the Cabin, and he also drops another Rose from Tyler.
