Quiet on the set.
I need quiet on the set.
Welcome, my friends.
Yay!
Hey there, Eagles.
Welcome back to the Eagles View.
The podcast is where Emerson students get to spread their wings and share amazing stories, ideas and fun facts.
I'm Naomi, a fourth grader who's all about dragons.
And I'm Kavri, a fourth grader who loves kittens.
We have some awesome segments for you.
NBA trade, Russell Westbrook, Barry Sanders, Shaq, open market, and as always, the joke of the week.
So grab a seat and settle in and let's fly.
Awesome!
Hi, my name is Rishi.
Hi, my name is Alex, and we're in third grade.
Today, we're going to talk about the NBA trades.
First, we're going to talk about how Anthony Davis was an eight-player swap to the Wizards.
The Mavs received Chris Middleton.
AJ Johnson, Maliki Branham, Marvin Bagley III.
They also got two first round picks and three second rounders.
The Wizards received Jaden Hardy, D'Angelo Russell, Dante Exum, and of course, Anthony Davis.
We would say the Wizards won the trade, but not for this year.
The reason we're saying that is because along with acquiring Trae Young, both of them are injured.
So right now they need to figure out how they're going to get a high draft pick.
Next we're going to talk about James Harden and how he got traded to the Cavs.
James, trying to be respectful to the Clippers, said that he wanted to stay, but in L.A.
But since he's 36, he would like to win a championship.
So the trade came out.
Officially, James Harden was going to the Cavaliers for Darius Garland to the Clippers.
We don't know who won this trade, because the all-star is on the Cavs, but on the other hand, the Clippers have a long-lasting Darius Garland, having him being 26.
Finally, we're going to talk about the biggest thing right now.
Giannis.
Once the word got out that Giannis wanted to leave, the Bucs, teams started pouring in with trade offers.
Surprisingly, the Bucs haven't traded Giannis yet, but we're thinking he'll be traded by the summer deadline.
What do you think was the biggest trade of the deadline?
Leave us a comment and let us know.
Hi, I'm Kai, and I am in second grade.
I am writing about Shaquille O'Neal.
He was 320 pounds, and once when he dunked, the backboard shattered.
He had a celebration where it looked like a pigeon with short wings.
One of his nicknames was Shaq.
I have a card of him when he was very, very young.
He was one of the most athletic players to ever play basketball.
He also played with Magic Johnson.
Shaq was also one of the best dunkers ever.
This is the Joke of the Week.
Hello, my name is Emma.
How does Darth Vader like his toast?
On the dark side.
Ba dum dum dum.
Hi, my name is Corbett and I am second grade.
I like Russell Westbrook because every time he drains a three, his celebration is Rockabye Baby.
He played for teams as the Kings Lakers Wizards Nuggets Clippers, Rockets and currently the Utah Jazz.
I like Westbrook because he plays point guard, and that is my favorite position.
His height is 6'4".
Go Russell!
Hi, my name is Kieran.
I love Barry Sanders.
Barry Sanders is a running back for the Detroit Lions.
He is really famous.
When Barry Sanders was young, he was not tall and not that strong.
So when he was playing football, he was usually on the bench.
But he used that time watching how other running backs run and working out.
Then one...
Then in one game, they let him play and he was so good for the rest of the season he played in.
Then he got drafted to Oklahoma State.
There was a really good running back for Oklahoma State, so he sat on the bench.
But he did the same thing he did earlier.
He practiced way harder than all the other players.
Then one day the old running back for Oklahoma State got drafted to the NFL so he got to play.
His work paid off and he had sick moves.
He was so great and, by the way, My dad's uncle lived in Oklahoma and he got a signed football from Barry Sanders.
And then he gave it to my dad, and then my dad gave it to me.
Okay, back to the story.
Then Barry Sanders got drafted to the Detroit Lions.
Back then, the Lions Stadium was in a place called the Silverdome.
Now it is called Ford Field.
Then the Lions were really bad until Barry Sanders' game.
Barry brought magic to the team.
In Barry's career the Detroit Lions never won a Super Bowl, but they made it to the playoffs many times and he broke many records.
A cool fact is... is that he never does touchdown celebrations.
In 1999, when everyone thought they were going to see another great season of Barry, he retired at the age of 31.
Everyone was surprised and also sad that Detroit Lions retired his number, which means they won't let any of the Lions players can ever wear his number again.
Barry Sanders was inducted to the Hall of Fame in 2004.
Barry Sanders is still alive.
People still love Barry, including me.
Go Barry Sanders!
Hi, my name is Lucas.
Hi, my name is Emma.
And we are here to tell you about the fifth grade open market.
The fifth grade open market had a lot of stuff including bath bombs, fidget toys, 3D printed stuff, magnets and a lot more.
We love the fifth grade open market.
