11
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 4: in the world. But Max and I were messing around

12
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,559

16
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 4: Asia Minor, it just became Asia major. That's why I

17
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 4: was laughing and then trying to uncover these uh Like,

18
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 4: for some reason, it got stuck in my head that

19
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 4: I knew it was from an eminem song Lose Yourself,

20
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 4: but I messed up the lyric shocker. But I was like,

21
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 4: well he's Max. I mean he's broke, but he's dope,

22
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 4: but he's broke. And I kept saying it, and Max

23
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 4: Is like, where's that prop So we uncovered it. Oh,

24
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 4: there goes rabbit. He choked. He's so mad, but he

25
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 4: won't give up that easy. No, he won't have it.

26
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 4: He knows this whole backs to these ropes. It don't matter.

27
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 4: He's dope, but he knows that he's broke. He's so stagnant.

28
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 4: But taking twenty twenty six and the reuniting and it

29
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 4: feels so good about Maxwell Buller, My man, I'm a

30
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 4: surrogate uncle and yours truly, And I just kept looking

Speaker 4: at him, going, hey, I mean the way you just

32
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,280

00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: Oh, bro's rabbit.

41
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 4: these ropes.

42
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: It don't matter. He's dope, but you know he's dope.

43

Speaker 1: so good. All right, So let's.

45
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 4: The disjointed nature of the talkbacks on this Talker Tuesday.

Speaker 4: You know, Prett Blake Moore and Nordo and and Sam

Speaker 4: sent anything to anybody regarding the Northern Fire prize package,

56
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 4: or maybe I sent it to a couple of people

57
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 4: like five times just to make sure everybody knows. But

58
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 4: we came in and man, we were broke, but we're dope.

59
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 4: But we're broke and we didn't know what was going on.

60
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 4: Uh So we're gonna give away a prize at the

61
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 4: end of the show that now officially falls on young

62
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 4: Maxwell Fuller. It's a twenty five dollars prize pack from

63
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 4: a Northern firebbq dot com. We've played all the three

64
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 4: talkbacks during the course of the radio show. So we're

65
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 4: gonna play three right now, just to qualify three and

66
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 4: then play some more later and Max is going to

67
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 4: determine which one wins. Then he's gonna get with the

68
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 4: learned individuals here who are in charge of this, and uh,

69
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 4: somebody's gonna get a.

70
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: Twenty five dollars prize pack. So go ahead and go

71
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: ahead and bang one.

72
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 5: Very good morning, Pa, Jim from Proctor. Yeah, the writing's

73
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 5: on the wall. In my personal opinion, they bring in

74
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 5: Kyler signed Carson, you put Max at three. I think JJ,

75
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 5: the experiment did not work and he's going to be

76
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 5: trade bait. So I'm thinking he's not going to be

77
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 5: on this team very much longer.

78
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: My take.

79
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: Have a good day, gentlemen.

80
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a call to you too. That's Jim with

81
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 4: a controversial take. When he laid that thing out. It

82
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 4: was Jim from Proctor who decided to gamble.

83
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: He's broke, but he's dope, but he's broke, all right,

84
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: Hit another one, Pa, Max. What's up?

85
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 6: Kyle from my Sandy AAA, kate a cuisine if you

86
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 6: know what I mean. Kyler Murray might be small, but

87
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 6: he ain't short as Doug Flutie, who cares if he

88
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 6: likes to rock a little call of duty because when

89
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 6: he gets on that field, if you work in that

90
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 6: defensive booty, the wrung games a little wrinkle. We've been

91
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 6: missing less trusting Kyler in the Lombardi Trophy will be

92
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 6: kissing skol Baby.

93
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: Save that.

94
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 7: Yeah.

95
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 2: I mean that's gold right there.

96
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 7: Save.

97
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: I mean for us it is that is the absolute gold.

98
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 4: People out there, well, I never I mean his palms

99
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 4: are sweating and he's weak, arms are heavy, there's vomit

100
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 4: on his sweater already, Mom, Spaghetti. He's nervous, but on

101
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,679
Speaker 4: the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs.

102
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 4: But he keeps on forgetting. That's your leader right now,

103
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 4: in my estimation, hit another one.

104
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: Hey, ba Hey Maxwell. Happy to hear from you guys today.

105
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 8: I'd agree with Ben as well when he's had to

106
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 8: get a running back in the top one hundred.

107
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: If we can't do that, like.

108
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 8: If it's not Love, Juderium Price or Emmit Johnson, then

109
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 8: I think we should just wait to the latter rounds

110
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 8: and try to get the demon Claiborne Cat who's the speedster,

111
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 8: And I mean, heck he's got demon in his first name.

112
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 4: As he looks for the place to stop in the

113
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 4: iHeart Audio App.

114
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 2: I always love that.

115
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 4: That was awesome. Thank you very much for the contribution.

116
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 4: I mean he got, he got. I don't know if

117
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 4: he's a little nervous, got a little stacato early in

118
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 4: the thing. It's like he opened his mouth but the

119
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 4: words wouldn't come out.

120
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: He's choking. Now, everybody's joking.

121
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 4: Now the clock's run now, times up over blow back

122
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 4: to the audio app.

123
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: I have about one more, all right, let me find one.

124
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,119
Speaker 4: Well, let's just put people on. Let's just put people

125
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 4: on the stage crooning on the iHeart Audio App. I

126
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 4: call it the iHeart Audio App. The overly prideful call

127
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 4: it the iHeartRadio App. Even though we're supposed to have

128
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 4: ingrained in the last membrane that it it's audio audio

129
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 4: audio audio, So that's why.

130
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: I call it the iHeart Audio Who cares?

131
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 9: Max Puller and pa this morning on k Fan has

132
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 9: to be the funniest duo I've heard in a long time.

133
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: Anyway, just want to drop this message.

134
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 9: Adding Kyler Murray to the team makes us one hundred

135
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 9: percent super Bowl ready. Soon to be Big Game, World Champions,

136
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 9: Minnesota Bikings.

137
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 7: Let's go, We'll come in, We'll come in.

138
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 4: That talkback individual had one shot, one opportunity to seize

139
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 4: everything he ever wanted in one moment, and he captured it.

140
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 4: He didn't let his slip Yo KG cutts eleven eleven

141
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 4: KFA and Sports Time eleven eleven kg cuts. Kevin Garnett

142
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 4: does not speak often involving the Minnesota Timberwolves and ownership

143
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 4: and the past, the current, the president and everything, but

144
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 4: he did, and the intrepid fill in producer for nine

145
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 4: to Noon, Max Fuller, has a He's cut up some

146
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 4: he's chopped up and sliced and diced some KG cutts,

147
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 4: and we're going to go through them and see what

148
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 4: we think.

149
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, kay, Kevin Garnet, Wolves Timberwolves legend, probably, i mean,

150
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 3: arguably the all time greatest timber Wolf antheawards giving him

151
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 3: a run for his money. He linked up with the

152
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 3: current Timberwolves play by play announcer Michael Grady, so it

153
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 3: was kind of a meeting of the past and the president.

154
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 3: And like you said, he doesn't give like a lot

155
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 3: of one on one interviews. He does have a great

156
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 3: show that he does with Paul Pierce, and we could

157
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 3: never play it over these airwaves.

158
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: Is called the Truth? I don't think it.

159
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 4: Cierce's nickname was the Truth. That was the truth. That'd

160
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 4: be sweet, that would be sweet.

161
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: Fun. It's it's Kevin Gartnet.

162
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 3: It's I mean, and speaking of that, shout out to

163
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,119
Speaker 3: the guy that whoever's job it is to bleep Kevin

164
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 3: Garnett because great depression, great recession.

165
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: That brother always has a job. Okay, that might be

166
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 2: the busiest man in a kept.

167
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: With that earlier? Were those some bars? Those are some bars.

168
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: You spent some bars. I'm spending hot fire right now.

169
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: But it was awesome in Kevin Garnett.

170
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 3: I think this is a part of his new role

171
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 3: as an ambassador for the Minnesota Timberwolves. I think that

172
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 3: includes creating content like this. So we sat down with

173
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 3: a one on one interview with Michael Grady about twenty

174
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 3: eight minutes.

175
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: It's well worth your time.

176
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 3: I wish we could play the entire thing, but you know,

177
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: they started the interview off after you know, some some

178
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 3: crisp smooth dap between the two, which was really.

179
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 2: Cool to see. You know.

180
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 3: Michael Grady kind of asked Kevin Garnett to reflect on

181
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 3: his journey, how he started in Minnesota and kind of

182
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 3: how he went on this long winding journey that he

183
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 3: ended up back in Minnesota.

184
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: And here's what Kevin Garnett had to say about that.

185
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 7: This has been like a full circle for me. You know,

186
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 7: growing up in Minneapolis as a young kid, no spending

187
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 7: a lot of my young adult years there really like

188
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 7: shaping who I am and how I thought, and just

189
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 7: spending a lot of this is my whole twenties, you

190
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 7: know what saying. Think about that, Just think about like

191
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 7: having a four decade plus in one place and how

192
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 7: it impacted me. And you know, even coming from Chicago,

193
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 7: how that impacted me. Having Kevin McHale and having guys

194
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 7: like Flip around they really really impacted me. Players like

195
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 7: Stefan Marlberry, Chauncey Spree, Sam Pacell, Gary Trent try Hudson

196
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 7: and trend Has so those guys that are still like

197
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 7: friends to this day. And then to go off of

198
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 7: them to this I guess me tour where it's really

199
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 7: for me in my career and I go out and

200
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 7: try to obtain all these things that I have in

201
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 7: my on my list and then I get to a

202
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 7: point where you have an opportunity to come back to

203
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 7: where I struck gold and when I found something to

204
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 7: be true. So yeah, it was. And then I had

205
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 7: kids when I came back, so my kids got to

206
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 7: see kind of the I don't know, the yester year's

207
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 7: or what was, you know, kind of like things were

208
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 7: before they were, which was fun. And then I go

209
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 7: off this again to this journey. I only found myself

210
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 7: back here. So yeah, I don't know if that's full struggle,

211
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 7: because we did like a whole like eight We did

212
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 7: like three eighths in the right, but the eighth sign

213
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 7: where you put it to the side is the infinite. Yeah,

214
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 7: so it's only right that I come back to the

215
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 7: place where I feel like my heart has always been.

216
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 7: I've never left Minneapolis. I've always kept a home there.

217
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 7: I've always called it home since ninety five.

218
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 4: That time, Boy, that was a that was a long

219
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 4: winding answer. And a normal life, I mean, let's be straight,

220
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 4: A normal life is boring. But superstardom is close to

221
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 4: post mortem. It only grows harder. And that's in a

222
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 4: roundabout way kind of what Kevin Gartnett put there is

223
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 4: that through from a through the circumnavigation, di z. His

224
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 4: heart has stayed here and this home has stayed here,

225
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 4: and now he's able to show his children some things.

226
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: So that that was really cool. What's next?

227
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 3: Before we get to the next question, Peter, I wanted

228
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 3: to deposit to you, obviously, the Kevin Garnett that like

229
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 3: he just described me. That answer was when he first

230
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: arrived here, he was a kid, basically as a teenager.

231
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 2: He grew up.

232
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: He was your duck kid. Yeah, the kid.

233
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 3: So what do you remember about Kevin Garnett, the Kevin

234
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,599
Speaker 3: Garnett that first arrived in Minnesota. Did you ever have

235
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 3: any chance I'm assuming you had chances to speak with him?

236
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 3: And now what was he like? It's a long story.

237
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 3: I've told part of it before on the radio and

238
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 3: we don't have time to share it now.

239
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 4: But before I worked at KFAM, I was just a racetrack.

240
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 4: I was a race track announcer at Canterbury Park, but

241
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 4: I wasn't here full time. So there were five years

242
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 4: of my life beginning in nineteen ninety five when Canterbury opened,

243
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 4: where I would call races in San Francisco. For six months,

244
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 4: I'd go to Grand Island, Nebraska, and fill in for

245
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 4: somebody at Bonner Park for a month and a half,

246
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 4: come up to Shakape do May through Labor Day, and

247
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 4: I did that cycle for five years. Being a lifetime

248
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 4: basketball fan and one of the people with whom I

249
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 4: worked at Canterbury named Matt Brothers, who went to Minnie

250
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 4: Hajja Academy and played basketball. Matt used to go to

251
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 4: Flip Sanders basketball camps. Flip God rest his soul. So

252
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 4: there's one night I'm going to say what year KG

253
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 4: get drafted.

254
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: I think ninety seven.

255
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to say it definitely was between ninety

256
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 4: five and when I went full time here in ninety eight,

257
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 4: because so Matt and I went downtown, we went to Minneapolis.

258
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 4: I'm going to say I was about thirty, like thirty

259
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 4: years of age, maybe thirty one, and didn't have many friends. Yeah,

260
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 4: ninety five, Okay, so that's my first year here. So

261
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 4: I didn't know who Flip Saunders was, but being a

262
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 4: person who cheered for the Boston Celtics, I very much

263
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 4: knew who Jerry Seistein was. He went to Purdue, got

264
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 4: into a fight with Ralph Sampson and the NBA Finals

265
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 4: and played against Jim Peterson. So you know, old school.

266
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 4: I'm old school, best school with the NBA. So long

267
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 4: story longer. We we are. Matt and I are at

268
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 4: Champs Alli. Okay, Champs Alley? Is that still a thing?

269
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: I don't think so do you know what I'm talking about?

270
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 2: What you're talking about?

271
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 7: Okay?

272
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 4: So we're there in ninety five night before the draft,

273
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 4: and Matt goes, wow, there's Flip Saunders. And I went

274
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 4: to his basketball camp twice. So we went up to

275
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 4: Flip and first time I met Flip Saunders and I'm like,

276
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,719
Speaker 4: holy cow, this Jerry seasting with him. I remember when

277
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 4: he played for the Celtics like eight years ago. So

278
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 4: we hung with him for like two hours and we're

279
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 4: chatting about a bunch of things, including the NBA draft,

280
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 4: Bryant Big Country Reeves before social media was you know,

281
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 4: like however, you know, people formulated opinions then like got

282
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 4: it to be wildfire whatever. Brian Big Country Reeves I

283
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 4: think was the one a lot of people thought the

284
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 4: Timberwolves would want or would draft and Flip. No, No,

285
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 4: there's Farragut Academy. This kid from Chicago, Kevin Garnett. So

286
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 4: he told Matt and I, knowing that we're racetrack guys,

287
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 4: we're not going to run to the We're not going

288
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 4: to run to Steve Ashburner at the Star Tribune or

289
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 4: somebody and like share this information. So they were quite

290
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 4: open with him. So I actually knew they were going

291
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 4: to draft Kevin Garnett a day before they drafted him,

292
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 4: and I learned a lot about KG. Then a lot

293
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 4: of it lived up to the hype when he played

294
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 4: here with the way he played, and I think to

295
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 4: land the plane here with Kevin Garnett.

296
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: You know in some of those playoff series.

297
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 4: It's there aren't many players in the history of the

298
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 4: NBA where I don't know if you remember I. Of

299
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 4: course you remember Dirk Novitski, your old school, best school.

300
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 4: Do you happen to remember a sharpshooter from Wisconsin for

301
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 4: the Dallas Mavericks named Michael Finley?

302
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 7: Yeah?

303
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

304
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 4: Okay, so the Mavericks, I mean they're near top of

305
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 4: the heap. Back when your guy Rob Weed Wallace played

306
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 4: for Portland, they had demonts A Bonus's dad, ar vetas

307
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 4: our Vetus was the boss. He was a bake terry

308
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 4: porter and those guys. I mean the West. The West

309
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 4: was tough. Kevin Garnett young in his career, Michael Finley

310
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 4: would be scorching them in a game. Well, let's put

311
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 4: Kevin on Michael to shut him down, all right, A

312
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 4: seven footer shutting down a two guard on the perimeter.

313
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 4: Derk Novitsky's getting to you, Well, let's put Kevin on him.

314
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 4: You could put Kevin on anybody at any time to

315
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 4: shut anybody down, and that includes sharp shooting former Badgers

316
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 4: like Michael Finley, point guard stuff like that. I just

317
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 4: never have come across a player who defensively would do

318
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 4: what he did against anybody as long as.

319
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: He did it. So that's hopefully that answers your question.

320
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, interestingly enough that actually I'll mix up the order

321
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 3: a little bit ahead in a different order. But that

322
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 3: kind of leads me into one of his points. Grady

323
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 3: asked him about what similarities he sees from the Timberwolves

324
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 3: of yesteryear, the Timberwolves teams that he played for in

325
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 3: the Timberwolves the current modern day Timberwolves, and use what

326
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 3: KG you had to say, I.

327
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 7: Do this group in the Timberwolves two twenty five to

328
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 7: twenty six timberwolves. They play like they play like wild wolves.

329
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 7: Have you ever seen a wolf kill something? And I

330
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 7: hate to even use these, I hate to go here,

331
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 7: but you ever seen a wolf a pack like devour

332
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 7: something when they are on a one, when they on

333
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 7: their best, that's how they look. He don't know where

334
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 7: it's coming from. Your best player. It's playing defense, just

335
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 7: like the defensive player than your point guard. He and

336
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 7: next thing, you know, all five or activated. Oh man,

337
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 7: ain't nothing nothing that's better than when I see young

338
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 7: fella come down a going to he probably not hit

339
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 7: a big bucket or some or some crazy right, and

340
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 7: they all come down and get up, you know. The

341
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 7: first thing to do when you do some flash just

342
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 7: to skip back. You can get back, you know, not

343
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 7: to get up and nah. Yeah. So when I'm watching

344
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 7: the Wolves, I'm up on the TV looking like I'm yeah,

345
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 7: yeah yeah, turn them, yeah yeah, turn them to get

346
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 7: yeah yeah. That's the similarity their defensive energy when they

347
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 7: actually turn it on. Yeah. Because I knew that we

348
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 7: were a team that could score the ball, but I

349
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 7: also knew how good defensively were we was. And I'm

350
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 7: not saying Sam Cassell was one of our best defenders.

351
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 7: But when we all play defense, he would give one

352
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 7: hundred percent effort to where it all fit. Team was

353
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 7: man apes one through five, bro. And then when you

354
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 7: take Rudy off putting nas in big jelly, shout the

355
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 7: nash read one of my favorite players, him and Jami

356
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 7: Dann's my favorite. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, but

357
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 7: I love watching the young Wolves. They play with energy

358
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 7: and they play they play to dominates you, which is

359
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 7: very rare in today's game. I feel like a lot

360
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 7: of times, you know the clock going, you know, as

361
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 7: long as the clock going, we live. You beat me

362
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 7: bout thirty, don't care if you beat me by twenty

363
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 7: back right, I ain't No, then it's over. I get it,

364
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 7: Mino mono, but nah, I'm hit to step on you,

365
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 7: my dog. And I like that they play with that energy.

366
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 7: I don't. I think the game is ship. It's too

367
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 7: it's too buddy, buddy, you know, until somebody loses. Now

368
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 7: you're man, Now you want to Okay? Yeah? So where

369
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 7: was that when we was hooping? So that's all I'm saying.

370
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 7: So when I see that, that is the difference when

371
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 7: I see the t Wolves really win and when I

372
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 7: watch them play like that. Those are the things that

373
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 7: remind me, or at least hint at because I don't

374
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 7: think one through five we was like that. But the

375
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 7: energy they're playing with, man, you see it, it really

376
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 7: pops off from the screen.

377
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: I'm glad he said what he said at the end.

378
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: When they play like that.

379
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 4: Uh, they played like that against Boston, and they did

380
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 4: so without Anthony Edwards. So there was a lot from

381
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 4: what he just said. I mean one to five defensively

382
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 4: with those good teams on which he played, the one

383
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 4: that lost to the LA Lakers, with Maxwell's guy Kareem

384
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 4: Rush hitting six three pointers at Staples to dagger all

385
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 4: the dreams, I respectfully, I don't see it the same

386
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 4: way Kevin saw it. Wally Zerbiek never was known for

387
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 4: his defensive prowess. Chauncey Phillips never was known for his

388
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 4: defensive prowess. Raschio Nasterovich, same thing, Troy Hudson, same thing.

389
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 4: Kevin Garnett, he was known for everything. I mean that

390
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 4: Stone called hof got anymore.

391
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got, I got one short one and another

392
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 3: long one here. But Kevin Garnett, he went on. You

393
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 3: saw his excitement perk up there talking about nas Reed.

394
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 3: He's a huge nas Reed fan. And here's what he

395
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 3: had to say about Big Jelly. Grady asked him if

396
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 3: he liked nas Reed. He said no, not just like.

397
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 7: Like like.

398
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: Big Jelly.

399
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 7: Listen, now, I don't even notice man Naz was playing

400
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 7: at Dykeman. He was getting ready to go to college.

401
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 7: You know, I'm a huge Jelly Jelly fan fan, you

402
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 7: know what I'm saying. And if you know all the

403
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 7: Jelly fan they got the crazy spins on the ball,

404
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 7: they do all this crazy just like a whole character.

405
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 7: He's one of them, and he's I think he's the

406
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 7: biggest and they call him Big Jelly. So when he

407
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 7: comes into the game, I like to watch Big Jelly

408
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 7: just it ain't one thing nas does. Right, shoot the

409
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 7: three bake, you put you in the post fade, you

410
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 7: know what I'm saying, Jump hook right, complain mate. So yeah, man,

411
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 7: when he comes into the game, it's almost like I

412
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 7: don't know what I'm about to see. I know Jelly going,

413
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying. So I've been a big

414
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 7: fan of the man followed him and now he's with

415
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 7: the t Wolves.

416
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 4: Well with nas Reid, Big Jelly, I think we can

417
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 4: all agree on one thing. We specifically love when Jelly's

418
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 4: on a roll.

419
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 3: Hey Yeah, Kevin Garnett, obviously he kind of played in

420
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 3: a goal then era of Minnesota athletes, he was far

421
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 3: from the only star in town. Michael Grady kind of

422
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 3: asked him what it was like coming up not just

423
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 3: with other athletes and but stars from from other disciplines

424
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 3: as well.

425
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 2: And here's what Kevin gun I had to say.

426
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 7: You know, when you're in it, you don't know how

427
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 7: special it is. Right, one minute, it was Jimmy and

428
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 7: Terry and that took me to meeting Prince and then

429
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 7: next thing you know, I'm at the Metro Dome watching

430
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 7: MOSTI and Dion play on Monday night, and then Cole

431
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,959
Speaker 7: Pepper comes to the you know what I'm saying, and

432
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 7: then Chris Carter and then next thing you know, it

433
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 7: went from Kirby and then next thing you know, Poppy

434
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 7: and Tory. Yeah, it was like an appreciation for everybody.

435
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 7: And you know, when when Jimmy let me first hear

436
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 7: the first jan and the album, I used to feel like,

437
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:51,959
Speaker 7: I don't know, it was just it was just a

438
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 7: different aura and a different energy. I don't even know

439
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 7: how to explain it, but it felt it felt reciprocated.

440
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 7: When I would look up and theyre be sitting there

441
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 7: watching our games, or I go to dinner with Curb

442
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 7: and he'll be talking about me. He couldn't do it

443
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 7: on the shaga. Then to be calling me shang shout

444
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 7: the Curb man. Good people man. But I needed Puck,

445
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 7: I needed Terry and Jimmy, I needed Prince. I need

446
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 7: all these guys who had come from the city, understood

447
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 7: the heartbeat of the city, understood the fans, understanding what

448
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 7: type of city it was, you know, and then showing

449
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 7: me how to be the constant professional, showing me how

450
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,959
Speaker 7: to be a Minnesotan and the things that Minnesotans do

451
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 7: in the winter time. How we have four seasons, but

452
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 7: they're doing the summertimes. You know, you gotta have a boat,

453
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 7: you gotta do this together, you know what I'm saying.

454
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 7: It's like I downloaded all that and I think that

455
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 7: to be a part of a time where all of

456
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 7: the sports had a hero was there. That's what I

457
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 7: look forward to when I was I love football, of baseball,

458
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 7: love all sports. So to be able to go to

459
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 7: a football game and watch arguably the best receiver or

460
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 7: you know, the best, you know, two receivers, or to

461
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 7: go and watch arguably one of the best hitters in

462
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 7: baseball go up against one of the best pictures, you

463
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 7: know what I'm saying. And then Kirby won it. You know,

464
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 7: Curve won it. You know what I'm saying. He's actually

465
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 7: been to the Promised Land in Minnesota and in the

466
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,479
Speaker 7: Minnesota Jersey. So I want to soak up all of that.

467
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 7: I want to soak up you know, what did I

468
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 7: need to do to change the trajectory and to make

469
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 7: the Timberwolfs like how I'm looking at the Twins when

470
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 7: they talk about Kirby Puckett, or when they're talking about

471
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 7: the Vikings and Randy Mossol, when they talking about you know,

472
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 7: albums and sales and you.

473
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: Know, just excellence.

474
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 7: That's what I want Minneapolis to be.

475
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 4: That that was fantastic, And he's right, I mean, because

476
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 4: so much has changed period from then into now. All right,

477
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 4: But I mean my mind just started going because I

478
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 4: went to a lot of those games where Jesse, Jesse

479
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 4: the body of Ventura, Jesse the governor Ventura. He would

480
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 4: repel from the ceiling of Target Center, like when they

481
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 4: were hyping everything up at the beginning of Wolve's games.

482
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: S down comes.

483
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 4: Jesse and he had a seat like five rows behind

484
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,719
Speaker 4: the basket by where the media sits. So that was

485
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 4: you know that, that was a popular figure that was

486
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 4: in the mix. Terry Lewis and Jimmy jam Harrison, those

487
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 4: were the references there. Princes and Prince Rogers Nelson one

488
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 4: of my all time favorites. May God rest his soul.

489
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 4: But there was a guy who I think his name

490
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 4: was Bill Bisi, Okay Bill Bisi, and he wore a

491
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 4: suit to every game and they called him the coach.

492
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 4: He sat opposite the visitor's bench courtside. I think he

493
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 4: worked in like he was the financial business, financial planning,

494
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,959
Speaker 4: like the money and all that kind of stuff. And

495
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 4: he rolled up his program and would like banging on

496
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 4: the ground. He would get into the refs a little bit, respectfully.

497
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 4: But he was at every home game year after year

498
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 4: after year. I'm pretty sure his name was Bill Beisey

499
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 4: something like that, and he was identifiable like all the network,

500
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 4: say CBS had it with Dick Stockton or NBC now

501
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 4: with Mike Trico. They all would show the coach, and

502
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 4: he was identifiable like to a certain extent, Prince and

503
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 4: Jimmy jam and Terry Lewis and Jesse the Body.

504
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: Ventura and some of these.

505
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 4: Some of these's where I first met Josh deammel Is

506
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 4: the Wolves were playing, and I referenced this yesterday with

507
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 4: Fred Hoiberg. Fred Hoiberg, coach of the Huskers, was on

508
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 4: nine to noon yesterday. Uh, Freddie and I and our

509
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 4: families have you been friends for multiple decades when he

510
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 4: lived in Chanassen and I first moved Etan Prairie in

511
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 4: two thousand. So Fred's old school, best school.

512
00:25:59,000 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 5: Uh.

513
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 4: They beat Vanderbilt despite that last shot, and they move on.

514
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 4: So Fred joins the show yesterday and we're talking about

515
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 4: dramatic moments at ends of games, and I referenced it

516
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 4: actually was the day I met actor Josh Tammel when

517
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 4: the Wolves played the Sacramento Kings game seven target center

518
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 4: might have been two thousand and three, two thousand and four,

519
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 4: somewhere around there, and the Wolves are winning eighty three

520
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 4: to eighty and Chris Weber had a twenty five foot

521
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 4: three pointer for Sacramento that would have tied the game,

522
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 4: and it went. It's like did you see Vanderbilt Nebraska

523
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 4: Jepesy the end of that. The guy's names like Tyler

524
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 4: Tanner or Tanner Tyler or something like that. The smaller

525
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 4: kid with the hair who had twenty seven. He was unbelievable.

526
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 4: I never heard of him. He was a baller. Throws

527
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 4: that thing up from half court against Freddy, in and

528
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 4: out out They're done.

529
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: Heartbreaker.

530
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 4: Same thing with Sea web Same thing with Chris Webber.

531
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 4: That sucker in game seven of the divisional rounds spun

532
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 4: around the basket three times. I can't believe it didn't

533
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 4: go in. Hoiberg told us yesterday podcastable KFA dot Com.

534
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 4: He was right under the basket, you know, on the

535
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 4: floor for the Wolves of that time, and he's like this,

536
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 4: we're going overtime. This is you know this, this is

537
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 4: going in and it popped out and then they went

538
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 4: to the Western Conference Finals to play the LA Lakers.

539
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 4: So you know, I had done some work for the

540
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 4: Timberwolves back when KFAN was AM eleven thirty, Chad Hartman

541
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 4: was on lead vocals. He was the play by play

542
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 4: voice for the Timberwolves on radio, and so I did

543
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 4: sideline reporting for the radio during the first series against

544
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 4: the Denver Nuggets, and it's like, you know, instead of cash,

545
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 4: you know, don't I don't need cash for this. I'd

546
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 4: like tickets, you know, for as far as they go.

547
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 4: So I got, you know, I got some really good

548
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 4: seats for that Sacramento series, like in the fourth row

549
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 4: behind the coach banging his program across from the Rick

550
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 4: Adelman in the Sacramento King's bench. So I mean I

551
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 4: was in direct view with this sawb shot and like

552
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 4: three rows in front of me was Josh dea Mel

553
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 4: who was I think One Life to Live or General Hospital.

554
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 4: He was like he was a big, big star in

555
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 4: a soap opera. So I kind of knew who he

556
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 4: was and stuff with this, like when Josh and I

557
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 4: met and I wasn't calling Vikings games at the time,

558
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 4: and you know, then I started calling Vikings games. He's

559
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 4: a Vikings fan and we've become pretty close since. So, man,

560
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 4: I thank you a lot for playing them all of that.

561
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 4: Down memory lane we go, because it took me back

562
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 4: to took me back to times that I greatly appreciate

563
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 4: the run of Kevin Garnett. Here, I greatly appreciate one

564
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 4: of my all time favorites when it comes to local

565
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 4: sports players and leaders and stars.

566
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: So thank you for that, and we'll be right back

567
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: at it.

568
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 4: All right, let's I want to pay off something that

569
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 4: I started earlier.

570
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: It was called I think we called it Kyler Calm.

571
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 4: And then we had some confusion in there, and we

572
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 4: paid that off with Ben Gesling, those Ben Gaessling segments today.

573
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 4: I'm not not really the one or big on saying, hey, podcast,

574
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 4: my show, this was really good, really good is in

575
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 4: the ear of the beholder, But for yours truly, I

576
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 4: thought Ben Gestling with the Star Tribune really really shared

577
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 4: some pertinent information today and we were able to get

578
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 4: home on something that was confusing, just about JJ McCarthy

579
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 4: and the ancillary things you see, and you got the

580
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 4: Wentz deal and you got the the Kyler deal, and

581
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 4: you know Brosmer's.

582
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: Still around too, by the way.

583
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 4: I mean, people are like, you know, we're rappy for you,

584
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 4: but you should be because the head coach has a

585
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 4: lot of respect for the way Max Brosmer handles himself

586
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 4: in play football. So he's in the mix. So it

587
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 4: was like, you know, the confusing part here, confusing part

588
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 4: here was for for forget the uh the social media

589
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 4: sites where you know, you're you're seeing that maybe Kyler

590
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 4: Murray and maybe JJ McCarthy should want to be traded it.

591
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 4: I don't believe that, but it did trigger a confusing

592
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,959
Speaker 4: thought that we shared. Then we got to uh, then

593
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 4: we got to Chris Finch and Julius Randall and some

594
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 4: things that Finchy said after the loss to the Portland

595
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 4: Trailblazers on Friday night and involved Julius Randall and his

596
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 4: rebounding and it's got to be better, you know. He

597
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 4: just he was direct and and I just reminded people

598
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 4: that Julius and Chris, Uh, they go way back back

599
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 4: to New Orleans.

600
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 10: Uh.

601
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: Julius.

602
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 4: A big reason Julius is here, UH is because of

603
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,719
Speaker 4: the adoration Chris has for Julius Randall and how he plays,

604
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 4: so so UH kind of paid that off a little bit.

605
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 4: Then we Uh, then we started to get into the

606
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 4: last four without Anthony Edwards into a big game tomorrow night.

607
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 4: By the way, that the uh, I I didn't know

608
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 4: until I just looked at some scores from last night

609
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 4: that the Houston Rockets lost to the Chicago Bulls. I

610
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 4: mean the Bulls. I think they're in the play in

611
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 4: in the Eastern Conference.

612
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 3: You know, so the Bulls even the twelve seed right

613
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 3: now they are, Yeah, but they're close to that play in, Yes,

614
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 3: like within a game, it's like there's actually no, they're not. Yeah, No,

615
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 3: the plan is pretty much set. No, they're they're they're done.

616
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 3: They're they're twenty three, they're eight games behind them, are

617
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 3: they really?

618
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: Yeah?

619
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 4: My bands behind the thank you very much. Giddy just

620
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 4: came back and he's bawling. Yeah, and and so with which, Yeah,

621
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 4: that even makes the point better, right that. Yeah, I

622
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 4: was thinking about Orlando and some other teams who, like Orlando,

623
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 4: took a bad l last night. I think, uh, but whatever,

624
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 4: the the the Bulls is the Houston Rockets if they're

625
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 4: in Lakers avoidance mode, if they're trying to avoid certain

626
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 4: things in the Western Conference, and you probably don't want

627
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 4: to lose to the Bulls. Pretty sure the Rockets lost

628
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 4: last night, right, Yeah? And Shangoon I think he had

629
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 4: a monster triple double. I mean he was balling last

630
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 4: night from what I understand. All Right, but the point

631
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 4: being here, Wow, tomorrow Night's game against Houston is big

632
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 4: with because I'm in Lakers avoidance mode. In fact, if

633
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,719
Speaker 4: we have some open segments tomorrow, you and I can

634
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 4: mix that up a little bit.

635
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 5: Uh.

636
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 4: Just I you know, I'm not really one to believe

637
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 4: with with Luka, Doncic and and the way the Lakers

638
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 4: play a little bit. I haven't been one to believe

639
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 4: until I've watched it enough how potent that team is.

640
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 4: And DeAndre Ayton's been in and out, but when he's in,

641
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 4: he's DeAndre Yayton in as you would expect. Doncic is

642
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 4: the m v P. I mean, I don't know if

643
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 4: you know, Like I don't google current NBA MVP favorite.

644
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 3: I just looked it up a little bit earlier, as

645
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 3: Shay is still the favorite. Favorites, Yeah, if you go,

646
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 3: and I think in a lot of people's minds, you know,

647
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 3: people look at MVP best player on the best team.

648
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 3: But I think the way that Luke has been playing

649
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 3: right now, there's probably, yeah, a lot of money coming

650
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 3: in on lucas well.

651
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: He cut the weight, he's kept it off.

652
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 4: He has i'm off the court situations involving like a

653
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 4: girlfriend and children and custody and all that. So he's

654
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 4: got a distraction. He's balling. I mean, holy cow, is

655
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 4: Luka Doncic good right now? Big key for them. In

656
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 4: my estimation, there are two first and foremost, Lebron James

657
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 4: has accepted the number three role in this MV three.

658
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 4: Austin Reeves is number two, don Chicic Reeves, Lebron. Lebron

659
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 4: accepted it. Minutes are down, just things are down with

660
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 4: him to make others better because he senses this is

661
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 4: right at the end, and I got a chance to

662
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 4: win the title here with Luca's not that. I mean

663
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 4: he's kept the weight off and he's balling. And Marcus

664
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 4: Smart when he stays out of foul trouble, it's working.

665
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 4: He can Marcus Smart and lock you down one on

666
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 4: one as well as anybody in the NBA. He doesn't

667
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 4: need to score. He'll turn it over a little and

668
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 4: he'll get too many fouls. But when things like that

669
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 4: work with Marcus Smart and their work, yeah, the Lakers

670
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 4: are formidable. I don't really want to play him in

671
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 4: the first round, so we'll see what they can do

672
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 4: with Houston tomorrow night. But see all that that comes

673
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 4: back to some things with the Timberwolves. Without Anthony Edwards,

674
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 4: Minnesota is three and won the last four sans Anthony Edwards.

675
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 4: Edwards shoots about twenty one times a game. And if

676
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,240
Speaker 4: you got something that you want to drop in here quickly,

677
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 4: just go because I got my head down in the

678
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 4: sheets right now. Gotch So he shoots about twenty one

679
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 4: times a game, high volume shooter. What's different Sands Edwards

680
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,919
Speaker 4: and where those shots are going? And when I put

681
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 4: this together yesterday, it's I really enjoyed it because there

682
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 4: are such stark differences. Obviously without Anthony. Chris Finch joins

683
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 4: nine to noon tomorrow right out of the gate. I'll

684
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 4: bring some of this up with him. Jaden McDaniels has

685
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 4: fifty six shots the last four games. He had sixty

686
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 4: two shots totaled the eight previous and all with Edwards

687
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 4: in the mix. McDaniels has more of an offense, sub

688
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 4: minded threat, that's a talker. Seven made threes in his

689
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 4: last four games. That's more than Jayden McDaniels made in

690
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 4: the last month of games, all with Anthony Edwards. There's

691
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 4: an answer to this puzzle, So stand by go bear

692
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 4: without Edwards thirty eight shots the last four with Anthony

693
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 4: Edwards in the midst he in the mix. He had

694
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 4: thirty eight shots over ten games. Okay, so do I

695
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 4: want Rudy shooting more. That's a talker for another day,

696
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 4: but it's a stark change. Bones has hit thirteen triples

697
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 4: the last four without Anthony Edwards. He hit fifteen the

698
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 4: previous eight with Edwards, and his minutes have gone way

699
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 4: up in the stead of Anthony. Iyo Desumu fifty eight

700
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 4: shots at a high high percentage of the last four

701
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 4: without Anthony, and he's starting. He's averaging eight rebounds a

702
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 4: game the last four games, all without Edwards. Think about that,

703
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 4: with Iyo Desumo, Dante Divensenz and missing Anthony and the

704
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 4: attention he draws, it ain't great. The last four the

705
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 4: Vincenzo shooting twenty seven percent on eleven of forty shooting.

706
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 4: He shot forty four percent from three in February, Hey,

707
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 4: forty four percent. It's down to thirty two percent in March.

708
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 4: Having Anthony Edwards is an absolute blessing, and let's not

709
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 4: forget that. A basketball blessing, that is, and he'll shut

710
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 4: down almost any player in the league when almost full

711
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 4: health and engaged. Brought that up with Finchy on Friday,

712
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 4: and he agreed. Here's the rum. It's mostly apparent a

713
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 4: handful of Timberwolves seem to be enjoying themselves more now

714
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 4: than some games in which Edwards plays. If that's the case,

715
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 4: why more responsibility and a chance to spread the wings?

716
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 4: That's the answer, that's for sure. But is there more?

717
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 4: Because there has to be to advance to the NBA Finals.

718
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 4: How do you keep the fun train rolling with everybody

719
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 4: on the squad when Anthony returns. We can start with

720
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 4: Anthony pat doing a better job passing out of double teams.

721
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 4: Anthony Edwards lack of recognition of late when he gets

722
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 4: doubled turning the ball over. That has to change. I mean,

723
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 4: because he's capable of being very good with it. He

724
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 4: gets doubled every time, so he's going to be required

725
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 4: to pass the ball when he gets doubled, and he

726
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 4: will pass it. But he's been throwing it away of late.

727
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 4: What does that indicate. There's a towel. There's a towel.

728
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 4: Teams know when they double him certain points of the court,

729
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 4: he's going to throw it to a certain area and

730
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 4: they're going to pick it off. And it happened a

731
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 4: lot before he got hurt. How does Finchy blend Io,

732
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 4: Dante and bones together when Anthony Edwards returns, because again

733
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,959
Speaker 4: Stark contrasts positively speaking to a lot of those things

734
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 4: we just read without Anthony. The balance, that's key, what

735
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 4: blossoms with Edward's postseason return and what branches on the

736
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 4: tree that currently are flourishing suddenly are in need of pruning.

737
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,240
Speaker 4: Am I onto something or am I on something? Because

738
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 4: it's there with Anthony. You can absolutely win at a

739
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 4: high level with Anthony. But what I and we have

740
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 4: seen from certain facets of this team without him the

741
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 4: last four I want that to stay, maybe not the minutes,

742
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 4: but the cohesive miss and the fun.

743
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 3: We'll be right back and it's a talkback Tuesday here

744
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,600

749
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:45,399
Speaker 1: If you know what I mean.

750
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 6: Kyler Murray might be small, but he ain't short as

751
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 6: Doug Flutie. Who cares if he likes to rock a

752
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 6: little call of duty because when he gets on that field.

753
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 6: If you work in that defensive booty, the rung games

754
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 6: a little wrinkle. We even missing less trusting Kyler in

755
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 6: the Lombardi Trophy will be kissing school Baby.

756
