Speaker 2: Your opening day or reopening day odds Dodgers the overwhelming favorites,
Speaker 2: followed by the Braves, Yankees, Phillies and the Mets. By
Speaker 2: the way, I have odds on who's going to hit
Speaker 2: a home run today and Dodge to hit a home
Speaker 2: run today? Not the guy who is homered on opening
Speaker 2: day the last five years in a row. Do you
Speaker 2: guys have any idea who has homered in five consecutive
Speaker 2: opening days? Anybody Marvin Andrew mccutchey, No, I'm gonna give
Speaker 2: you credit for that. Random Todd, Alex Bregman, Alex Bregman.
Speaker 4: No, Ronald A.
Speaker 3: Queenya Jr. The third, No.
Speaker 2: Seaton, Michael Trout, No, dang it, he's on the list.
Speaker 2: The best odds are Aaron Judge, then Tyler O'Neill. Hey, Tyler.
Speaker 2: Of course he plays for the Orioles. He's homered on
Speaker 2: opening Day five years in a row. That means he's
Speaker 2: been in the league for five years at least.
Speaker 5: How about that?
Speaker 2: Yeah day here? Count here here cot back? What stead
Speaker 2: of the day? Alrighty? A couple other items here so
Speaker 2: we have opening Day. Lebron James was on full display
Speaker 2: yesterday on Pat McAfee and then last night had the
Speaker 2: game winning tip in for the Lakers. He didn't have
Speaker 2: a good game at least scoring wise, but ten of
Speaker 2: his thirteen points came in the fourth quarter and including
Speaker 2: the game winning tip. In NCAA tournament coming up as well.
Speaker 2: But back to Lebron on Pat McAfee and Lebron unpacked
Speaker 2: a lot of things. He was on for over an hour. Now,
Speaker 2: let me take care of sort of the ancillary stuff,
Speaker 2: because this is what happened, certainly in my line of work. Oh,
Speaker 2: I would have asked him, Oh, if he comes on
Speaker 2: this show, I'm gonna okay, he's not coming on your show.
Speaker 2: He's not coming on this show. Maybe McAfee paid him.
Speaker 2: You know, Pat has sert done well by paying his
Speaker 2: guest and he's gotten you know, the publicity back tenfold.
Speaker 2: But I don't know. Lebron was in Indy. Pat's show
Speaker 2: was in Indianapolis. I don't know if he said to him, look,
Speaker 2: i'll give you a million dollars, come in spend an hour.
Speaker 2: I was at a concert one time for Direct TV
Speaker 2: justin Timberlake performed. I think they wrote him a check
Speaker 2: for a million dollars. Hey play for an hour. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's really what happened yesterday. And Mac has written checks before.
Speaker 2: Maybe he just said to Lebron, come on in sit down,
Speaker 2: pay a million dollars.
Speaker 3: I don't know if he did or didn't.
Speaker 2: But and the other people, the other host who are saying, oh,
Speaker 2: I would have asked, this is who Pat Matt McAfee at.
Speaker 2: Pat's not trying to be Mike Wallace. He's not trying
Speaker 2: to be me. He's not trying to be Bob Lee
Speaker 2: or Jeremy shapp or. He's just a guy who's having
Speaker 2: a good time making a boatload of money and a
Speaker 2: lot of headlines.
Speaker 3: That's all.
Speaker 2: Had the offer. Lebron took him up on it, and
Speaker 2: he had an opportunity to sit down and just let
Speaker 2: him go. And really, you know, McAfee didn't have to
Speaker 2: ask many questions because it felt like Lebron had things
Speaker 2: he wanted to get off his chest. Now I got
Speaker 2: a lot of things off his chest. But I think
Speaker 2: he might look back on this and say he got
Speaker 2: a little loose, especially when he said the draft was
Speaker 2: possibly rigged when he went to the Cavaliers.
Speaker 6: Listen, man, you know during the lottery drop Cleveland got
Speaker 6: the number one pick.
Speaker 5: That's that.
Speaker 7: I just don't think that was just keep Lebron home,
Speaker 7: you know what, Patrick going to the Knicks, you know,
Speaker 7: Darren rose to the bull. I understand Simon, guys, you know,
Speaker 7: so you know, I had to make sure that, you know,
Speaker 7: I had to do my part.
Speaker 2: Okay, First of all, I would say to Pat McAfee's
Speaker 2: maca Fietz or whatever, don't say anything during an interview.
Speaker 2: Let Lebron and Pat talk because you're going to ruin
Speaker 2: good soundbites there. I mean, that would be the one
Speaker 2: thing I would say as a host to you guys
Speaker 2: if Lebron said that I don't want you guys chiming
Speaker 2: in rude. Well, it's just okay, your show whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's not whatever. It's not good radio, not good TV.
Speaker 2: We're there to hear Lebron, not Pat's cohorts. And so
Speaker 2: that would be one of those where you go, hey, guys,
Speaker 2: just let Lebron talk. And you know, when you start
Speaker 2: to look at it, was it rigged?
Speaker 5: It wasn't rigged.
Speaker 2: And I mean, thank god David Stern is not with
Speaker 2: us any longer because even though he's not the he
Speaker 2: wouldn't be the commissioner, the acting commissioner. Now you know
Speaker 2: Adam Silver's now involved in this. Now you brought him
Speaker 2: in on this. Now all of a sudden, we bring
Speaker 2: back Patrick Ewing to the Nick. Now we brought in
Speaker 2: Derek Rose to Chicago. I don't know did they rig
Speaker 2: it so Victor wimban Yama would go to San Antonio.
Speaker 5: I didn't understand that one somebody wemby to San Antonio
Speaker 5: and the thing like, why how is that if there
Speaker 5: was a if this was an SAT test, and they say,
Speaker 5: which of these is not like the others? Lebron to Cleveland,
Speaker 5: Derek Rose to Chicago or Victor wiman Yama to San Antonio,
Speaker 5: that would be the answer, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 4: When I heard Lebron say it, I first read that
Speaker 4: he said it, and then I heard it. And he
Speaker 4: doesn't appear to be kidding. Maybe a light poke or
Speaker 4: something like that. But it does seem a little odd
Speaker 4: the coincidence that Ewing goes to the NIXT, Lebron stays
Speaker 4: home and Derek Rose stays home. It seems a bit
Speaker 4: of coincidental, overly coincidental, And I think that's what Lebron
Speaker 4: was poking at.
Speaker 2: But do you think the other owners would be in
Speaker 2: line with this in lockstep and go, yeah, maybe we're
Speaker 2: fine with this.
Speaker 4: They wouldn't have a choice in the matter. I would
Speaker 4: never if I were fixing the NBA, I would never
Speaker 4: alert the owners that I was doing. I'd do it
Speaker 4: for the best league. I went back and looked at
Speaker 4: the two thousand and three NBA Draft lottery. Okay, the
Speaker 4: Cavaliers had a twenty two point five percent chance. That's
Speaker 4: tied with the Nuggets for the highest chance to win
Speaker 4: the lottery. This is back when the lottery was very
Speaker 4: much weighted towards the top three or four teams. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so they were not a surprise team in any way.
Speaker 2: Cleveland tanked. I mean that's the one thing that happened.
Speaker 2: They tanked to get Lebron James. Do I think that
Speaker 2: it's fixed, No, I do not do. I think it
Speaker 2: would make sense, like if you wanted to send Lebron
Speaker 2: and you wanted to send him to New York at
Speaker 2: the time.
Speaker 3: I mean, the Knicks were in the lottery, so yes,
Speaker 3: he got.
Speaker 2: To stay in Cleveland, but Cleveland made sure they had
Speaker 2: the best odds to be able to get him.
Speaker 5: Yes, and you know what if you didn't send Lebron
Speaker 5: to New York and the Knicks, why didn't your rig it?
Speaker 5: So Carmelo went there instead, he went to Denver. Just
Speaker 5: send him over to Yeah. I don't think I think
Speaker 5: Lebron is passive aggressive. I don't think he was kidding.
Speaker 5: I think he wanted there were a lot of things
Speaker 5: he wanted to get off his chest. He wanted to
Speaker 5: get off his chest about the run in with Stephen A.
Speaker 3: Smith.
Speaker 2: He took a shot at Brian wind Horse, which I
Speaker 2: didn't think that was fair. I got it was just
Speaker 2: like he was unplugged, which was great for Pat McAfee's show.
Speaker 2: You got him and you just let him go, and
Speaker 2: Pat's not necessarily calling you in, you know with Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 2: Rodgers would say a lot of things, Pats just letting
Speaker 2: you go.
Speaker 8: Yes, Marton, Yeah, I'm not sure if it's so much
Speaker 8: passive aggressive anymore. It just seems I'm saying whatever I
Speaker 8: want now. So it's not even like a I'm like
Speaker 8: hinting at this, like him going at Steven a him
Speaker 8: going at Brian Windhorse like it wasn't I'm I'm insinuating
Speaker 8: these names now.
Speaker 3: I'm saying these.
Speaker 8: Names like, oh, this this reporter that's reported on me. Know,
Speaker 8: Brian Windhors thinks he's my friend. He's not my friend,
Speaker 8: I think ten years ago. Passive aggressive for sure.
Speaker 2: But why now is he saying this about Brian Windhors
Speaker 2: Because he's wealthy?
Speaker 3: Who Lebron's wealthy?
Speaker 8: This feels like, I'm he's Ben wealthy and I don't
Speaker 8: care anymore. He's like, I'm in my forties now.
Speaker 2: And then he you know, the media and how they
Speaker 2: treated his son, and it just felt, I don't know,
Speaker 2: it was odd, It just was because he normally does
Speaker 2: a pretty good job He's handled a lot of things brilliantly,
Speaker 2: But I don't know if he like that. It was
Speaker 2: an old woe is me or I don't know, just
Speaker 2: a strange feel that I got. And then then all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, he decides he's going to talk about
Speaker 2: how the players of today could play against the players
Speaker 2: of the sixties and seventies.
Speaker 6: And the game is different, and we should respect all
Speaker 6: errors in that era. You know, we can't be saying, okay,
Speaker 6: just because Wilt was great in the sixties and seventies
Speaker 6: that he'd be great now. And we also can't say
Speaker 6: that some of the guys now would be great.
Speaker 3: It is what it is. Respect that era and we
Speaker 3: move on.
Speaker 6: But the whole every single day that he's better, He's
Speaker 6: not better.
Speaker 3: He wouldn't.
Speaker 6: You're trying to tell me Janis wouldn't be able to
Speaker 6: play an NBA game in the seventies.
Speaker 5: He wouldn't be able to do.
Speaker 3: It, Yana, would you?
Speaker 6: Ji Jannis ant the Koupo would have two hundred and
Speaker 6: fifty points in a game in a seventies.
Speaker 2: Okay, See, now you just just disrespected Kareem and Doctor
Speaker 2: j and all the players who played in the seventies,
Speaker 2: meanwhy Janni. Jannis would not be Jannis if he was
Speaker 2: playing in the seventies, he'd be playing with his back
Speaker 2: to the basket. I mean, it wouldn't be shooting three.
Speaker 2: He wouldn't be who he is. He wouldn't develop the
Speaker 2: way he's developed. I mean, the rules back then, how
Speaker 2: you played back then? Is he getting two hundred and fifty? Well,
Speaker 2: Kareem didn't get two hundred and fifty. Are you telling
Speaker 2: me that Jannis would have been better than Kareem back
Speaker 2: in the seventies.
Speaker 3: And the answer is no. But I don't know why.
Speaker 2: Nobody said Jannis couldn't play back in the seventies. He
Speaker 2: would have played differently. Lebron would dominate in the seventies.
Speaker 2: He would be a different player. Yes, he would be great.
Speaker 2: I mean they how would Larry Bird be today? He
Speaker 2: might be even better. He'd shoot more threes. Can't put
Speaker 2: your hand on him. I mean he's six' nine out,
Speaker 2: there you, know leading the break for them like this
Speaker 2: is it gets to be silly. Sometimes, yes.
Speaker 5: It seemed though Like lebron's point was comparing air as
Speaker 5: as stupid and we should stop doing.
Speaker 3: IT i agree with, that But what did he just?
Speaker 2: Do he Said janis would score two hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: points in the seventies in the.
Speaker 5: Game, YEAH i, MEAN i think he Was he seemed
Speaker 5: to be joking, About. LIKE i don't think he literally
Speaker 5: meant he would score two hundred and fifty.
Speaker 2: POINTS i think he was. JOKING i think he's saying
Speaker 2: that he would. Dominate now the.
Speaker 5: Two fief he would. Dominate he would dominate. Though, no he.
Speaker 3: Would be a completely different.
Speaker 2: Player the evolution of the basketball player has Brought yannis
Speaker 2: to us in this. Form back, then he would be
Speaker 2: a center with his back to the. Basket they wouldn't
Speaker 2: have played like. That, no he's not that kind of.
Speaker 2: Guy he's a. Perimeter he beats you off the. DRIBBLE i,
Speaker 2: mean he's a guy who, shoots you, know. THREES i, mean, joker.
Speaker 2: Joker back in the seventies would have been a back
Speaker 2: to the basket and he would have been able to
Speaker 2: play the way he does.
Speaker 5: Now it seems to me that like it's like an
Speaker 5: odd thing that we do is we have these super
Speaker 5: athletic guys, right super athletic right, now where they're doing this. Stuff,
Speaker 5: right he's beating you off the. Dribble he's doing all that.
Speaker 5: Stuff but if you strip the game down and make
Speaker 5: it a little more basic and, simple he would fall.
Speaker 5: Apart he wouldn't be able to play.
Speaker 2: Like, no, no, no it's not that how LIKE I, no
Speaker 2: he wouldn't be given the. Opportunity he wouldn't handle the,
Speaker 2: ball he wouldn't be on the. Perimeter coach would, say
Speaker 2: get down on the. Blocks he might be this Unbel
Speaker 2: it's Like Patrick ewing At. Georgetown all he does is block, shots.
Speaker 2: Rebounds he gets to the. Knicks he doesn't block shots and.
Speaker 2: Rebounds he shoots mid range. Jumpers he got he got
Speaker 2: the opportunity to do. That John thompson had him as
Speaker 2: an old fashioned. Center ewing brought the new center into
Speaker 2: the game or helped usher that.
Speaker 5: In yes, See but if we're saying that we're taking
Speaker 5: away all of the things that he does well now
Speaker 5: because he wouldn't have been that type of, player then
Speaker 5: he would have been trained to be that type of
Speaker 5: player back. Then so DON'T i just don't know that
Speaker 5: that requires a skill set that he wouldn't have been
Speaker 5: able to figure. Out, well he's not.
Speaker 2: Dominating giannis would not dominate in the, seventies would he
Speaker 2: be An All. Star i'm sure he, would but he
Speaker 2: would not be he's so skilled now because they've trained
Speaker 2: him to be. Skilled, now they allow him to play
Speaker 2: on the, perimeter they allow him to take. Three they
Speaker 2: would never let that.
Speaker 9: Happen.
Speaker 2: Never coaches would never allow that to. Happen they just
Speaker 2: wouldn't because they were, stuck you know in that time
Speaker 2: period of this is how you. Played you, know you're
Speaker 2: down on the, blocks you rebound block, shots you know
Speaker 2: you get a little jump hook in there or follow up,
Speaker 2: rebound whatever it.
Speaker 3: Is BUT i, mean.
Speaker 2: Those are things he couldn't have been trained to. Do
Speaker 2: he can be trained to do those. Things what Makes
Speaker 2: giannis great now would not be used in the. Seventies
Speaker 2: it wasn't used in the. Seventies he would just be
Speaker 2: a back to the basket big. Man they would not, say,
Speaker 2: hey lead the, Break hey shoot, threes even though they
Speaker 2: didn't have threes back. Then they'd be, like stay down.
Speaker 2: Low there were a lot of great big men in
Speaker 2: the seventies because they wanted to have big men in the.
Speaker 2: Seventies you had to have a big man in the.
Speaker 2: Seventies BUT i Maybe lebron's joking a little bit, There
Speaker 2: BUT i think the point he's making, is let's not compare,
Speaker 2: generations Which i'm all. For i'm all in favor of doing,
Speaker 2: that but it. Happens it happens WHEN Jj reddick, says,
Speaker 2: yeah who are they playing? Against you, know plumbers and. Electricians,
Speaker 2: okay that doesn't. Help they played against who they played.
Speaker 2: Against it's not, like, man where is? Everybody nobody's good around?
Speaker 2: Here we get caught up in. That BUT i you,
Speaker 2: Know lebron had a lot of things to, say a
Speaker 2: lot of things to get off his, chest you, know
Speaker 2: the STEPHEN. A smith, thing and then you know that's
Speaker 2: going to. Continue Steven a is going to have things to.
Speaker 2: Say and now all of a, sudden Steven a's talking
Speaker 2: about you, know If lebron put his hands on, him
Speaker 2: then Steven a is going to take us, like what
Speaker 2: are we?
Speaker 3: Doing, yeah what are we? Doing, well, yes Marm but WHAT.
Speaker 8: I Think lebron was saying was if you drop them
Speaker 8: off as they are right. NOW i think that's What
Speaker 8: lebron was, saying not if they were trained that way
Speaker 8: that they were trained in this.
Speaker 2: Seventies, WELL i, know but that's silly to say of
Speaker 2: course they would be Dominating. Jannis they would look At yannis,
Speaker 2: like wait a, minute there's a seven footer who's leading
Speaker 2: the break here and shooting threes and what's.
Speaker 3: This so That's lebron's.
Speaker 2: Point, Yeah, okay it's not a stretch to Say jannis
Speaker 2: would be dominating. This this y honest would be dominating
Speaker 2: in the, seventies and that's not a. Stretch luca would be.
Speaker 2: Dominating uh, shay gilgis. DOMINATING i, mean there's a hundred
Speaker 2: there are thousands of guys who probably would have had
Speaker 2: a great impact on THE. Nba but that's not what
Speaker 2: We're if that's what he's talking, about then that's you,
Speaker 2: know it's a silly there's not even a. CONVERSATION i
Speaker 2: was gonna, say, Argument, yes they would be. Great jannis
Speaker 2: would be playing differently in the, Seventies that's the Point
Speaker 2: i'm trying to.
Speaker 5: Make, yes how DID i get different? Positions and you,
Speaker 5: Know DOCTOR j might be four inches, shorter, right but
Speaker 5: how did DOCTOR j manage to do? That he's sort
Speaker 5: of like the godfather of modern.
Speaker 2: Basketball, well because they he did it in THE aba
Speaker 2: and THE. Nba you, know it was. Different it was
Speaker 2: far more structured in THE. Aba DOCTOR j was different
Speaker 2: than anybody. Else but he was a playground legend and
Speaker 2: you had him in the open, court so he was a.
Speaker 2: Unicorn Elgin baylor was a. Unicorn there's. Guys there weren't enough,
Speaker 2: guys but there are guys where you. Go that guy's
Speaker 2: just different than everybody. Else And DOCTOR j was different
Speaker 2: than anybody. Else, yeah, Pulling.
Speaker 4: And it's comical to, think, like if you're bringing someone
Speaker 4: back to an, era if you're Bringing lebron back to
Speaker 4: nineteen seventy, seven you're going to transport him at the
Speaker 4: height and weight he is, now and he'd be back
Speaker 4: if he was playing then there was no weightlifting. Whatsoever
Speaker 4: he'd be six, eight two hundred and twenty five pounds
Speaker 4: at the. Most and that's how he would have lived
Speaker 4: and built his. Life and they would have put, him
Speaker 4: like you, said as a small forward or power.
Speaker 2: Forward but if It's lebron today back, then he will.
Speaker 2: Dominate it seems.
Speaker 5: Equal he's comical, though to think that he couldn't figure
Speaker 5: out how to play in that.
Speaker 2: Era we'll look at the number of players who didn't
Speaker 2: PLAY i mean, THEY i, mean is he going to
Speaker 2: figure out what how to be able to dribble the
Speaker 2: ball and be able to shoot outside and all those,
Speaker 2: things because nobody did.
Speaker 3: That there's no three point line back.
Speaker 2: Then what's He they would have him, Inside they just,
Speaker 2: WOULD i, mean he would be.
Speaker 3: Used, differently plain and.
Speaker 2: Simple there are a lot of guys who if you
Speaker 2: look at him and how they were, used and you,
Speaker 2: know they probably had so much more, talent but they
Speaker 2: didn't get to expose. That but you didn't have big
Speaker 2: men who were on the perimeter shooting jumpers unless It's Bob.
Speaker 2: Lanir all, right we'll take a. Break just getting. Started let's.

Speaker 2: bit of that as. Well John, Caliperi arkansas head. Coach

Speaker 2: talking about the transfer.
Speaker 12: Portal there are kids in The United states that are
Speaker 12: freshmen that deserves scholarships to college that are. Not there're
Speaker 12: seven eight hundred will not get, scholarships and they're good, enough.
Speaker 3: But we're all waiting for.
Speaker 12: Transfers so now that is what disappoints me the most
Speaker 12: and part of the REASON i won't.
Speaker 3: CHANGE i just can't do as. Many you, know there are.
Speaker 12: KIDS i had a friend of mine called my son's
Speaker 12: A division one. Player he doesn't even have the offer

Speaker 12: guys are coming? Back how many transfers CAN i? GET
Speaker 12: i may only have one or two scholarships for a.
Speaker 3: Freshman, okay he doesn't have to wait for the transfer.
Speaker 3: Portal he.
Speaker 2: DIDN'T i mean At kentucky he got. Freshmen it didn't work.
Speaker 2: Out he got one, title all of that, talent all
Speaker 2: of THAT nba talent that he, had and he learned after,
Speaker 2: years he learned that he needed to have upper. Classmen
Speaker 2: you need to have a few of, them and he
Speaker 2: did that At arkansas you're still going to get a
Speaker 2: couple of.
Speaker 3: RECRUITS i don't think.
Speaker 2: There's thousands of high school seniors Going i'm not getting
Speaker 2: a scholarship because, well these players are going all over the.
Speaker 2: Place that means if that guy, transfers then there's an
Speaker 2: opening on that. School so do you wait because we're

Speaker 2: Wait If john wants a, freshman five, freshmen six, freshmen
Speaker 2: go get. Him nobody's stopping you from. That we're making

Speaker 2: sign here college.
Speaker 3: Basketball we can't do anything not right?
Speaker 2: Now, okay how many teams are still in THE Ncaa tournament?
Speaker 2: Sixteen what about all the other ones? There i'm going
Speaker 2: to guess those rosters are being filled, up and then
Speaker 2: you're going to have the high school recruiting period and
Speaker 2: then you'll fill out the. Rosters But john makes it seem,
Speaker 2: like oh my, god the transfer, Portal how DO i
Speaker 2: deal with?
Speaker 4: This, yes, point just to give a little, CONTEXT i
Speaker 4: think what coach cal is talking about is right now
Speaker 4: is the. Portal it ends in early to Mid, april
Speaker 4: Then april sixteenth Through may twenty first is high school
Speaker 4: basketball signing. Period SO i guess what he's saying is
Speaker 4: he can't give a verbal offer to a high school
Speaker 4: kid until he knows what he's getting with the portal this.
Speaker 2: Month because there's never any inappropriate contact with a high school.
Speaker 2: Senior but every single a transfer PORT i, mean come, on.
Speaker 4: Every single coach is in the same. Boat it's not
Speaker 4: like he's at a. Disadvantage every coach has to follow
Speaker 4: the same exact.
Speaker 2: Rules, yeah but those coaches can be dealing with the
Speaker 2: transfer portal right. Now all the Other division one coaches
Speaker 2: can go out and get. Players this is the transfer portal,
Speaker 2: window And john can do it. Too he's just in
Speaker 2: the tournament, now and you'll get. Commitment why is it
Speaker 2: you can get a commitment from a sophomore an eighth, Grader,
Speaker 2: okay you got a commitment. THERE i Think john is.
Speaker 2: CREATING i think he's building an obstacle here that doesn't
Speaker 2: need to be an.
Speaker 3: Obstacle, Yes, MARVIN i.
Speaker 8: Think In Cali perry's, CASE i think he's legit waiting
Speaker 8: for transfers Because i'm looking at the McDonald's All american list
Speaker 8: he's got two guys that are going To.
Speaker 5: Arkansas so it's, LIKE i have my.
Speaker 8: Freshman Now i'm waiting for my adults to come in
Speaker 8: and see who transfers To.
Speaker 3: Arkansas but he can get them right.
Speaker 2: Now the transfer portal is, open right. Now you got two,
Speaker 2: McDonald's All americans coming. In now you fill up your
Speaker 2: with those.
Speaker 3: Guys so WHAT i don't know what he's waiting, For,
Speaker 3: yes HE.
Speaker 5: I mean they got into that. SoundBite there's one before
Speaker 5: that about nil and how it's impacting high school. Recruiting
Speaker 5: there's no question about. That, however when he's talking about
Speaker 5: there's hundreds of kids right, now hundreds of freshmens who
Speaker 5: can't get my friend his song d one can't get
Speaker 5: an offer that Coach John, calipari he can choose to
Speaker 5: take those. Freshmen what he's doing is waiting for the
Speaker 5: better players in the. Portal he's choosing the better players
Speaker 5: over this other kid that has nothing to do with
Speaker 5: the system that is set. Up it's a new wrinkle
Speaker 5: of the system that helps him get a better. Team
Speaker 5: but if he wants to go give freshmen, scholarships he's
Speaker 5: more than go right ahead do. It there's nobody says
Speaker 5: that you can't do. That there's hundreds of kids that
Speaker 5: can't get a, scholarship then give them.
Speaker 2: Them and this has become a big topic because the
Speaker 2: transfer portal is going on right now and you have
Speaker 2: coaches who are trying to win another game and get
Speaker 2: to the. ELITATE i, understand but it is a fair
Speaker 2: question to. Ask, now Tom, IZZO i asked, him AND i,
Speaker 2: said you, know you got a balance between recruiting somebody
Speaker 2: and also trying to prepare for your next. Opponent but
Speaker 2: who put this in you, know put this in. Place
Speaker 2: it wasn't the kids who did. It once, again it
Speaker 2: goes back to the grown. Ups they did that to the. Sport,
Speaker 2: nil they did that to the sport transfer. Portal they
Speaker 2: did that to the. Sport, now maybe we clean it,
Speaker 2: up maybe we figure it. OUT a couple of phone
Speaker 2: calls in, Here ron In, Virginia Hi, ron what's on
Speaker 2: your mind?
Speaker 3: Today? Hello? Dan Hi? Ron how are you doing?
Speaker 9: Good six, three two thirty and. Growing i'm a Lifelong
Speaker 9: lakers fan and going back to our Beloved Jerry west
Speaker 9: AND i listened to The lebron interview yesterday On Pat,
Speaker 9: show and be honest with, YOU i was. Impressed he
Speaker 9: was so brutally. Honest it seemed Like, LEBRON i mean,
Speaker 9: normal we were hearing him the game just ended and he's.
Speaker 9: Exhausted they might have. Lost you, know we hear the
Speaker 9: same cliches over and, over but this it seemed like
Speaker 9: it was for the most, part totally unscripted and it
Speaker 9: was just a release to hear him just let it
Speaker 9: all out and. Everything so, yeah.
Speaker 2: But that doesn't MEAN i have to agree with him
Speaker 2: just because he, was you, know free wheeling, there. Unplugged
Speaker 2: but that's the atmosphere That pat McAfee has created on his,
Speaker 2: show AND i Think lebron came in there and wanted to.
Speaker 2: Entertain he wanted to have those guys laugh and. Smile you,
Speaker 2: Know pat's gonna let you. Go he's not going to
Speaker 2: be grilling. You he's just talking to. You And lebron
Speaker 2: had a lot of things that he wanted to get
Speaker 2: off his. Chest bill In, Indianapolis, Hi, bill what's on
Speaker 2: your mind?
Speaker 3: Today Hey?
Speaker 13: DAN i think it might've Been. Marvin it said About.
Speaker 13: Lebron he's in his, forties AND i can tell you from,
Speaker 13: Experience i'm way.
Speaker 3: Faster that's my. Forties the.
Speaker 13: Filter the filter starts to deteriorate at a certain point
Speaker 13: in your, life and then you get to a point
Speaker 13: where there is no filter and you don't even know
Speaker 13: what you're about to say until you just said.
Speaker 2: It so, yeah And i'm fine with. That I'm i'm
Speaker 2: to that point, Too. Bill you, know SOMETIMES i forget
Speaker 2: to turn on my turn. Signal all, right MAYBE i
Speaker 2: don't come to a complete stop of the stop.
Speaker 3: Sign H, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 4: So forty in sports is like being eighty in. Life
Speaker 4: like WHEN i go visit my, mom all the cars
Speaker 4: just pull, out the people don't look no turn. Signals head.
Speaker 3: On michael In, Chicago Hi, michael what's on your? Mind Hey?
Speaker 3: Dan how you doing? Good?
Speaker 9: MIKE i just wanted to comment about The Lebron james
Speaker 9: topic and how.
Speaker 2: He turn turn down your, Radio, mike turn down your.
Speaker 2: Radio make it easier on, you hold the.
Speaker 3: Step? Better, yeah, okay.
Speaker 9: Okay he would have been great Naming, era but he's Not.
Speaker 9: Jordan AND i agree with you one hundred percent about
Speaker 9: the three best. PLAYERS i think you've always said it Was,
Speaker 9: Jordan kareem And. LEBRON i think that's the. ORDER i
Speaker 9: think that's what. Happens BUT i wanted to tell you
Speaker 9: it's opening name, baseball AND i want.
Speaker 3: To ask you a.
Speaker 9: Question who do you think is the best, player best
Speaker 9: baseball player of all?
Speaker 3: Time Babe? Ruth, Yeah Bay.
Speaker 2: Ruth if you win you, know ninety games as a
Speaker 2: starting pitcher and then you quit, pitching and then you
Speaker 2: hit seven hundred home runs and he batted what three forty,
Speaker 2: two he could have kept pitching and probably, won you,
Speaker 2: know three four hundred, Games so he didn't do What
Speaker 2: otani is. DOING i, mean this is what's going to
Speaker 2: be interesting with THE. Mvp let's Say otani is good
Speaker 2: at pitching and good at. Hitting this is like His
Speaker 2: hunter At colorado winning The. Heisman it's just so unique
Speaker 2: THAT i don't know if you can go that guy
Speaker 2: had a better. Year Ronald Dokunya, junior the third had
Speaker 2: a better. Year how many games did he? Pitch like
Speaker 2: it's it just feels like there's a building advantage for
Speaker 2: Sho Heyo tani to win THE mv pick as long
Speaker 2: as he's healthy and he can do the fact that
Speaker 2: he didn't pitch last. Year he, goes you know, WHAT
Speaker 2: i can't, pitch but you know, What i'm gonna. Do
Speaker 2: i'm gonna steal. Bases i'm gonna steal fifty eight bases
Speaker 2: whatever he, Stole, like, yeah good for. Him brandon In Orange, County, Hi, Brandon,
Speaker 2: hey Dan.
Speaker 14: DANETTES i just wanted to touch on The giannes playing
Speaker 14: in the seventies. Topic the analogy that came to mind for.
Speaker 14: Me it just seemed like there's some confusion between what
Speaker 14: you were trying to say and what the Dan nettes
Speaker 14: where understanding or trying to. Solve but it's the analogy
Speaker 14: that came.
Speaker 15: To mind is Like automo bills are, planes, Right, obviously
Speaker 15: the planes of, today if you put them back with
Speaker 15: the right, brothers they would they would. Dominate, okay you,
Speaker 15: know but we wouldn't have the planes of today without
Speaker 15: the technology of.
Speaker 14: Yesterday it's just the natural evolution of.
Speaker 3: Technology, thanks thank, You.
Speaker 2: Brandon, Yeah yannis would be you know this talent now
Speaker 2: the way he is, Now, yeah he would be probably
Speaker 2: the best player in the, game or certainly one of
Speaker 2: the two or three best players in the.
Speaker 3: Game it's just.
Speaker 2: It took the evolution of the basketball player to get
Speaker 2: to the point where you're Teaching luca Or joker Or
Speaker 2: yannis these other. Players but you needed those other players
Speaker 2: to get to this.
Speaker 8: Point, Yes, Mark so who was the first player to
Speaker 8: really like buck the system and, say hey you're six,'
Speaker 8: eight you should be down in. The, post, no, no, NO no i,
Speaker 8: CAN dribble i can.

Speaker 2: Great score, magic though when you all of a sudden
Speaker 2: your point guard's, six' nine that that you know that
Speaker 2: THAT'S where the, nba was, like you know what are?
Speaker 2: We doing here and everybody then you had big guys

Speaker 2: shoot threes you had BIG men who are. LIKE i
Speaker 2: Can be magic i mean. Shack WANTED to be magic
Speaker 2: and i think you know that's the beauty of. The
Speaker 2: evolution of The Game, Derek And, Fort wayne hey, derek.
Speaker 16: Hey dan. Five eleven, one seventy. Five long time first.
Speaker 16: TIME let's go a seaton i was just calling in
