Games are underway today. 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.000 The Dodgers played their third game. They had the home 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:07.680 opener today and the most eventful part of these three 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:11.320 games so far has been the return of Alex Vesia, 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:15.480 who pitched in his first game albeit spring training Cactus League, 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:19.480 since last year's NLCS, and he got a standing ovation 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.720 from the fans here at camel Back Ranch that were 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:25.720 in attendance, and after he came off the mound, he 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:29.720 got a standing ovation from his own dugout after a 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:33.160 scoreless inning, had a chance to catch up with Vessia 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:35.800 after he came out of the game, and he came 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:37.360 up to me in the clubhouse and he said, you 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.000 already talk some baseball. I said, let's do it. And 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:46.000 he talked about just the emotions and the emotions specifically 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.400 in that dugout when he came off the mound. 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.600 Yeah, yeah, I mean, honestly, like I came in a dugout, 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:53.760 I was just hyped. I got three outs, you know, 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.440 and then everybody was just telling me good job and whatnot. 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.520 You know, it was a little overwhelming. And then talked 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:00.800 with Mark and Connor and yeah, I'm just trying to 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:01.360 take it all in. 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:05.080 He did a good job. He did not get emotional 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:08.000 when he was speaking to us today. It was mostly 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:11.840 about baseball and just how baseball has been so therapeutic. 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:14.480 And he told me that he's not going to really 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:19.000 talk about obviously the tragedy that took place during the 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:22.240 World Series, but he says he's encouraged his teammates and 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:26.400 he hasn't shied away from his teammates asking him questions 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.599 about what he's gone through. But publicly he's still not 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:30.720 ready to do all that. 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:36.159 Yeah, totally understandable. I'm sure he's excited to talk baseball 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:39.600 with you, Dave, with everybody around there and get back 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.120 to work. It's what he is. He's a professional baseball player. 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.560 It's what he does does day in and day out. 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.679 Other professional baseball players. Dave that got on the mound 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:51.760 today Landon Nack, Kyle Hurt, couple names, you know, Kyle Hurt, 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:53.240 someone we hadn't really heard from in a while. Why 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.240 don't we start there kind of how how do you 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.680 see his spring training going, his immediate future? And I 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:00.599 think NAC is some of me kind of to keep 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.279 forgetting about and we sort of forget about how valuable 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.240 he's been for this team the last couple seasons. 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:09.479 Yeah, whenever they've needed a spot start, or when he's 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.599 had an opener and they bring him in to piggyback 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.680 that opener, he's done it willingly. It was kind of 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.000 a down year for him last year. Whenever he did 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:22.279 get those two opportunities far and few between, he didn't 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.839 really perform well. So I feel like he this spring 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:30.919 is an opportunity for him to re establish himself. He 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:34.000 no longer has those birthing hips anymore, petros, He's lost 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:36.559 a lot of weight, so he's put in the work 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:41.240 during the off season. But look, it's a challenge for 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.400 him and for Bobby Miller. They're kind of in the 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:47.120 same spot that Tony Gonslin and Dustin May were in. 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.640 They were the guys, the next wave of guys, but 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:54.600 other pitchers like Emmitt Shean and Gavin Stone and now 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:58.240 River Ryan seemingly are lapping those guys, so they've got 0:05:58.240 --> 0:05:59.680 to re establish themselves. 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:05.000 Dave, after you made international news with what you talked 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:08.040 to Oltani about, do you think he'll pitch in the WBC? 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.239 After what he told you out of his face? 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:15.760 He has not said no, So he has left door 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:19.200 open purposely. Even when I asked him over the weekend, 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:22.520 threw that scenario out at him, he did not shut 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.000 me down and say no, I'm not pitching. He has 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:27.919 left the door open, which has brought a lot of 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:31.200 intrigue to whether or not if it is a similar 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:35.599 scenario as it was four years ago, Japan three outs 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:39.320 away from winning the World Baseball Classic, him facing the 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:43.440 best of the best team USA had. Can you I 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:47.880 can envision an Tawi versus Judge type of face off 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.599 if it came down to that. So if you're asking 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:54.560 my opinion, Petros, because he hasn't ruled it out, I 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:58.680 would say yes, I definitely could see him pitching the 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.720 last inning of the World Baseball Classic if it was 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:03.000 a close game. 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.440 You know him better than anyone, Dave. I think we'd 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:08.799 all agree that, Yes, I don't think there's any question 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.160 he would want that ball, he would want to pitch. 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.000 But kind of where is he? You know that, I 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.360 know Dave Roberts was talking about you just kind of 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.320 got to get these guys to that point where you're 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.920 comfortable that they're stretched and they're built up and they're okay, 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.760 you know, throwing with that sort of intensity and velocity. 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:28.720 Is Is it pretty much consensus that Otani is there? 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:30.800 I know I've read some national articles that you know, 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:32.280 he should be one of the favorites for the cy 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:32.960 Young this year. 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.320 Yeah, the odds are really good forty to one for 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.080 show Heo Tani to win the National League cy Young Award. 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:43.080 I would say that that's a pretty good bet if 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.880 you were going to do something like that. But where 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.720 he's at is a better spot than he was at 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.760 at the end of last season, because he told in 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:56.320 interviews in Japanese, he said that he never felt like 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.800 he had his true command of his fastball, and that's 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:01.960 why we would see him rear back and throw one 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.800 hundred and one miles an hour at times, because he 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:08.840 didn't feel like he had the command to spot his fastball. 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:12.200 So I asked him yesterday as well whether or not 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.000 the command is where it wants to be, and he 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:17.120 said he was much happier with his command, but it 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:20.520 still needs some work and he has left camp. He 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.480 is joining Team Japan now, but the plan is for 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:27.040 him to throw live vps and also have a couple 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:30.600 of bullpen sessions while he's from the team. 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:35.320 You have Freddy Freeman on and Miggy tonight, one of 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.120 those guys Freddy and Mookie and Munsey and so on 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:40.080 gonna start playing, Dave. 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:46.600 Yeah, So yesterday in Peoria, Miguel Rojas played, Will Smith played, 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:52.160 Freddie Freeman is going to play tomorrow, and Max Munsey 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:55.800 told me he's planning on playing his first game on Thursday. 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:56.960 Moos bets. 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.920 It seems like they're staggering these guys going to play 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:03.400 on Wednesday, and there's no injury issue. It's just the 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:07.960 workload management. Six weeks this year of spring training, and 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:11.200 the way Freddie Freeman and Max Munsey have explained it 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:15.280 to me is the front office, Dave Roberts themselves have 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:18.400 mapped out a plan to get basically fifty at bats 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:20.800 and that's not all going to come in the first 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:24.080 three games, So they've mapped it out where these guys 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:27.680 get somewhere between. I mean, Munsey and Freddy had precise 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.400 numbers for me, So I'm just going to say somewhere 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:34.120 between forty five and fifty five innings or forty five 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:37.440 and fifty five played appearances for them in the Cactus League. 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:41.520 Forgive my ignorance, Dave if there has been an update, 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:44.320 and I haven't seen it, but he is an old 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:47.760 pal of yours, and he was invited to play in 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:51.920 the WBC. Is he just kind of sharpening his knives 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:54.240 and getting his chops ready to call baseball from the 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:57.240 studio or is Clayton Kershaw really going to do this 0:09:57.400 --> 0:09:59.760 WBC thing and do you expect to see him out there. 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.959 No, he's really doing it. The way it's going to 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:07.960 play out, the way it's been explained to me is 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:12.360 if there's a blowout game. Because Mark de Rosa and 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:16.559 Andy Pettitt, who's the pitching coach, they have strict restrictions 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.880 on how many innings they could use these guys when 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.720 they can use them. So that's why a guy like 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:27.439 Kershaw fit perfectly because he's not with the team anymore. 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:31.520 There are no team restrictions. So in the first round 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.720 or in another round, if it's a blowout or they 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:37.600 need to eat up some innings, that's where he comes 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:40.760 into play. They laid out that scenario for him and 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.160 he was good with it. So there's even a chance 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:46.200 that you may not even see him pitch, only if necessary. 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.680 So that's the way it is, and we'll see, as 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.480 he called his body the last couple of years, whether 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.120 or not that carcass can be trotted out there. 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.600 Oh Dave, did you speaking to trot and the carcass around? 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:00.600 Did you make it back to the car store this 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:02.600 weekend or no DNA cards? 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:06.960 I did not make it out to Rip Night, but 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:11.160 I saw all the viral instagrams. Mike Trout did show 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.400 up at the same place he showed up last year 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:17.360 in Scottsdale, smell Villa, Jack Dryer, Will kleinb All came 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:21.080 to that one in Peoria. But I kept it simple, Petros. 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.720 I had to pick up, you know, long term groceries 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.520 at Target, and they had an aisle full of tops 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:29.960 baseball cards, so I picked a few. You had your 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:33.840 own rip Night, Hey, I got a secret hideaway in 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.880 the Glendale. Oh, Jack Dryers right there. He just he's 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.520 a big card Oh man, I've given away my secret. 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.280 Where to find the cards? He knows, he knows now 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:47.160 the target in Glendale, Arizona. Oh no, he's always lingering 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:50.400 when somebody's talking baseball cards. He always wants to know. 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:52.000 He's always trying to get that edge. 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:54.320 So think about this. What's the name of the card 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.679 shop again, Dave DNA. 0:11:57.920 --> 0:11:59.559 Yeah, tryer knows. 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:04.600 Dave Say is a bigger celebrity and welcomed at DNA 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:08.320 Cards in Arizona than Tim Kates is in his own hometown, 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:14.120 where he shops frequently at his Burbank card shop, hundreds 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:17.160 of miles away. Dave Assay welcomed with open arms, and 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.439 yet Tim Kates continues to promote his local shop. It's 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.040 terrible that almost slams the door in his face every 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:24.079 time he tries to walk in. 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.400 Broddie Jams is supposed to be there and he canceled. 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.400 Hey, I've walked over to Jack Dryer and the Dodger 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:32.720 parking lot. This is usually off limits. You don't have 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.599 cost players in the parking lot. But Jack Dryer was 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.720 lingering to hear my baseball card secrets. So have you 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:42.720 pulled any valuable twenty twenty six baseball cards one on ones. 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:43.520 Uh. 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.480 Yeah, we pulled a James Wood one of one out 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:51.800 of a diamond pristine diamond Premier. Yeah, had ten diamonds 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:52.800 on it and auto. 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:53.679 It was a nice card. 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.320 So when you say we did you give that away 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:57.800 or is it in the dryer family? 0:12:57.920 --> 0:12:58.120 No? 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:02.120 No, no, So I opened it for the Players Collective 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.480 through the PA. So we opened it, but then they're 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:07.600 gonna box the back up graded at PSA and then 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:08.320 auction it off. 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.800 So I unfortunately didn't get to keep it. Oh, there 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:12.920 we go. So now you found my secret at Target 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:13.680 in Glendale. 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:14.400 You know I've. 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:18.000 Actually bought cards before there, so I agree about that pole. 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:21.120 All right. 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:25.280 Dyer, great guy. He's a big part of the Dodger 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:27.559 bullpen last year. He's going to be a big part 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:29.720 of it this year. He's still got a number, a 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:33.959 jersey number like eighty six. He's ah, he's well more 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.920 respected than eighty six. Are you changing your jersey number 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:37.360 this year? 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:37.600 No? 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:39.880 I found out I'm I'm the only Dodger to ever 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.160 wear at number eighty six, and so that's pretty special 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:42.320 to me. 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:44.400 I thing I'll keep it. 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.640 Beautiful, beautiful.

Well, this is going to get somewhere 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:14.160 recognizable for those that are regular listeners to the Petros 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:16.240 Money Show. We play the hits, we give you what 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:17.040 we think. 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:20.880 You got your crossbow pointed to Derek Carr's nuts right now, 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:24.640 not yet, but he retires. 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:26.400 Oh and it's coming. 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:29.320 Well, I heard that's what he's That's what he's trepidacious about. 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:31.880 He's kind of like, you know, I'd love to take 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:36.040 twenty million dollars from somebody or whatever and play quarterback 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:39.640 one more year for a great franchise like the Steelers 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:44.680 or something and be set up for absolute and total. 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:46.440 Dominance, legacy shifting pe. 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:49.080 But there's a guy in LA who works for the 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:52.400 Chargers that does not like me, makes fun of my accent, 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:54.960 makes fun of the fact that I threw it away 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:57.760 once on fourth down twice. 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:07.879 Twice. Okay, if it's not about Derek Carr. Pat Riley 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:08.280 is eighty. 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:10.639 He makes fun of Bakersfield and says it sucks. 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:17.600 I love Bakersfield. It's incredible. Pistachios forever. Pat Riley is 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:21.439 adp Yes he is. He has seen it all he 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:23.840 has got. He looks a great He's a great. Look 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:25.199 at eighty two, he sure is. 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:28.159 He looks better than most all except for Magic and 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.720 Worthy and Byron. Maybe I mean he looks. He looks 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:32.320 better than most all of his ex players. 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:37.080 Looks great. He's got nothing he needs to sell like 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:40.440 someone else we're going to talk about here. His legacy 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:45.480 is intact. It is ridiculous. Intact. He is one of 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:49.080 the greatest coaches. He is one of the greatest gms. 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:53.159 He is one of the greatest team presidents to have 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:57.840 ever been part of the NBA. There is nothing that 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:00.479 he is doing or could do well. I guess there 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:03.200 are some things that could tarnish it from a personal standpoint, 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.639 but in terms of the business, which I do not anticipate, 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:10.359 but there is no denying that you can pick whatever 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:13.919 flavor you want and sell him as one of the 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:16.520 greatest of all time. Many forget that he was actually 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:20.040 a player for nearly a decade with the San Diego Rockets. 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:23.240 Because of winning time, we know that he was a laker. 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:26.240 In the seventy five season, he averaged eleven points in 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:28.879 twenty two minutes per game. But of course it was 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:34.040 the coaching. The coaching in a dominant era. As dominant 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.320 an era, you'll know single franchise. 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:39.480 You'll know when you're getting the fist. But no, you're right, Matt. 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:42.159 Once he became a coach, there was the sky was 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:42.600 the limit. 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:46.320 He needed to get fisted by chick first to understand. 0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:49.040 Oh, you'll know sooner or later. After a while, you 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.640 won't even have to look over here. You'll know when 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:52.720 you're getting to fit. 0:18:55.160 --> 0:19:00.480 A dominant force. Were the Showtime Lakers, arguably in thea's 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:05.040 toughest decade the eighties. Coaching a team with that much talent, 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:09.600 with those dominant personalities multiple players, you could make the 0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:13.760 case were the greatest of all time at best and 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.040 at worst the greatest of all time at their position. 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:21.600 Kareem Magic not to mention our dear friend James Worthy 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:24.040 keeping a number one overall pick, who is in the 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:27.120 conversation as a league MVP year in and year out, 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:31.439 and yet he is third in the pecking order of 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:34.480 a dominant team that is on one of the most 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:40.080 ridiculous pre expansion runs in the history of the league. 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:44.119 In eight seasons, pat Riley went to the finals seven 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:47.439 times in eight years, only missed the playoffs once in 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:50.920 those eight years, and won four titles, seven trips to 0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:55.560 the finals, four titles, won sixty three games. After his 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:58.000 final year when he was chasing the three peat in 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:03.200 nineteen ninety and then later out of here. Of course, 0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:05.120 what he's done. 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:08.119 Why do I believe Matt was It almost like he 0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:10.359 got pushed out by the guys that were up there celebrating. 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:16.119 You know, you never know, you never would know what 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:18.760 it waits, what things are in front of you, but 0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:21.560 things are behind. But before we get to what was 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:24.880 exactly in front of him, p the other basketball mech 0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:28.080 on the East Coast what he did in Miami, considering 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:32.239 it was essentially an expansion franchise that had maybe a 0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:35.880 modicum of small success before he showed up the piece 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:38.320 together a team led by Tim Hardaway and Alonzo Morning 0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:42.000 that was way better than the talent suggested it should be. 0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:48.560 Was just a small sliver of what he accomplished during 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:51.560 his time in New York. And while it never ended 0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:56.480 with a championship, that he had teams with Greg Anthony 0:20:57.119 --> 0:21:00.399 and Charlie Ward and Charles Smith and Anthony May in 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:03.760 John Stark's granted, Patrick Ewing's one of the all time 0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:08.159 great centers, but the supporting cast that they surrounded Ewing 0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:12.320 with had no business making it to the conference finals 0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:15.840 every single year and giving the Bulls everything they could 0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:19.080 handle in each of those series. It was a true 0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:26.440 coaching masterclass in competition. While dealing with inferior talent, fifty 0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:30.080 six wins per season with those Nicks rosters. Of course, 0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:36.160 made the finals the year Jordan cut out bs call 0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:38.760 on Pippin with Hubert Davis, but that's a sidebar. But 0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:42.400 went to the finals, lost it on some boneheaded play 0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:45.000 by John Starks. And as we said, of course, taken 0:21:45.040 --> 0:21:47.520 over in Miami was no walk in the park. Yeah, 0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:51.720 he's got hard Away, pulls him over, pulls down Alonso Morning. 0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:55.760
