Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Hope you had a great weekend. Everybody gangs
Speaker 1: all here, ready to go. A couple of Hall of
Speaker 1: famers joining us, Reggie Miller in about fifteen minutes. Should
Speaker 1: the Lakers be concerned after that opening loss to the
Speaker 1: Phoenix Sun? Should the Clippers be concerned after that opening
Speaker 1: loss to the MAVs? Are we underrating my Portland Trailblazers?
Speaker 1: And what about the pesky Memphis Grizzlies and the Atlanta Hawks.
Speaker 1: So we'll talk some basketball with Reg in about fifteen
Speaker 1: minutes or so. Sir Nick Foudo, who won six majors,
Speaker 1: will join us coming up. He was on the call
Speaker 1: yesterday as Phil Mickelson wins the PGA Championship by a
Speaker 1: couple of strokes. His six major titles is now tied
Speaker 1: with Nick Foudo and Lee Trevino. That's twelfth most all time. Jack,
Speaker 1: of course, leads the way with eighteen, followed by Tiger
Speaker 1: and Walter Hagen with eleven. There aren't a lot of
Speaker 1: you remember where you were when that happened moments in sports,
Speaker 1: But if you're a golf fan, even if you're not
Speaker 1: a golf fan Sunday was one of them. At age fifty,
Speaker 1: Phil Mickelson became the oldest golfer ever to win a major.
Speaker 1: He came in Sunday at the PGA Championship. He had
Speaker 1: a one stroke lead over brooks Kepka. You had the
Speaker 1: young and the old there on a very difficult course
Speaker 1: at Kiwa Island, and it probably would have been hard
Speaker 1: to feel very confident in any front runner, let alone
Speaker 1: Phil Mickelson. He didn't have a single top twenty finish
Speaker 1: this year, and not only did he make golf history,
Speaker 1: he reminded us of why sports can be so special.
Speaker 1: Golf fans are invested in Phil Mickelson. You could certainly
Speaker 1: see that. I think Phil having a full gallery there.
Speaker 1: It kind of he fed off of that, and you
Speaker 1: could see that in the final few holes there. But
Speaker 1: he was calm, trying to be calm in a massive
Speaker 1: people on eighteen and it's something you can't script. That's
Speaker 1: what's beautiful about sports and something that we won't forget
Speaker 1: for a long long time. A lot of great moments
Speaker 1: that we'll talk to Sir Nick Faldo about with Phil Nicholson.
Speaker 1: We may hear from Phil today, but Fritzie's working on
Speaker 1: that as we speak. This program has brought to you

Speaker 1: Tampa Bay situation. We're good shop and uh see if
Speaker 1: you would, boy, Seaton got to introduce you to sun block.
Speaker 1: What happened here? I got a little color this weekend,
Speaker 1: got a little sun wow. Wow, yeah it's red in
Speaker 1: the Yes it is yeah, yes, it is. H Yeah.
Speaker 1: Polly Seton looks like the opposite of golfer Stewart stink.
Speaker 1: Remember Stewart sink would be his face from the eyes
Speaker 1: down would be read and then his forehead would be
Speaker 1: ghostly white because yeah, hats yeah kind of a bass coat,
Speaker 1: you would say, Yeah, kind of wet with a bass
Speaker 1: coat for the season. Okay, it's very it's illuminator. I
Speaker 1: did the I put some sunblock on, perhaps a few
Speaker 1: hours too late. I might see if we can get
Speaker 1: some powder to put on your forehead. There. It's very
Speaker 1: disconcerting after all these years getting some makeup. Huh yeah,
Speaker 1: how about that. Yeah, we really have come full sir,
Speaker 1: Yes we have, Yes, we have. By the way, speaking
Speaker 1: of makeup, we are doing our calendar shoot this week
Speaker 1: and then we'll let you in on some of the
Speaker 1: ideas that we have. We're doing album covers, famous album covers,
Speaker 1: and I let the Danettes pick out to each whatever
Speaker 1: they want to be, whoever they want to be, and
Speaker 1: we have some break one. So we'll let you know
Speaker 1: with the calendar when we get ready to reveal that,
Speaker 1: and then it'll be available for Christmas time. We usually
Speaker 1: get it done by around September October, and then you
Speaker 1: place your orders and have them for you for Christmas.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll have a poll question, play of the day,
Speaker 1: stat of the day, all of that coming up. Well, mclovin,
Speaker 1: do you have a poll question today? So I have
Speaker 1: some bad poll questions to start with. All right. I
Speaker 1: was excited about this one, but it got shot down
Speaker 1: in the morning meeting. Which was a bigger, more historic
Speaker 1: moment Phills win yesterday or Tiger's win in two nineteen masters. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's not even close. It's not even close. Everything that
Speaker 1: Tiger went through to come back and win the Master,
Speaker 1: like Phil didn't go through anything. He just turned fifty.
Speaker 1: Like it. By the way, I know, it's a monumental
Speaker 1: occasion what Phil did and on that course, you know,
Speaker 1: just surviving there. But he doesn't look fifty. If Phil
Speaker 1: Mickelson walked down the street and you didn't know, If
Speaker 1: Phil Mickelson and you said to your wife, how old
Speaker 1: do you think that guy looks, she'd probably say, I
Speaker 1: don't know, early forties. If you go back in history,
Speaker 1: they were comparing him to Okay, Jack was forty six
Speaker 1: when he won the Masters. They have a guy named
Speaker 1: Old Tom Morris. The fact that his name is Old
Speaker 1: Tom Morris and he looks like he's really, really old.
Speaker 1: He was forty nine years of age when he won.
Speaker 1: And this is back in what the eighteen hundred. Have
Speaker 1: you seen David Letterman with the beard now? Like this,
Speaker 1: Old Tom Morris looked like Letterman, only about twenty years older.
Speaker 1: Old Tom Morris looked like he was eighty. Tom Brady
Speaker 1: doesn't look his age or play his age. Lebron doesn't
Speaker 1: look or play his age. Phil doesn't look or play
Speaker 1: his age. But you you know, Tiger was going through
Speaker 1: an awful lot to come back to be able to win.
Speaker 1: Nobody thought. Nobody thought that there was a chance that
Speaker 1: Tiger could come back and win a major, didn't. I mean,
Speaker 1: Phil hasn't battled anything. He battles himself, and ten years
Speaker 1: ago Phil probably doesn't win that event, which may sound strange.
Speaker 1: I think by being fifty or at least, you get
Speaker 1: to that age where you start to think differently. And
Speaker 1: I think Phil decided I need to change a little bit.
Speaker 1: I just can't take over a golf course. I can't dominate.
Speaker 1: I got to be smart. And what we always loved
Speaker 1: with Mickelson was he would take chances. He'd be like us,
Speaker 1: where we go, Yeah, I think I can get it there,
Speaker 1: and of course we wouldn't get it there. But Phil's
Speaker 1: playing in a major, and I think when I watched
Speaker 1: him play yesterday, I saw maturity. I just saw somebody
Speaker 1: who had to think his way around a golf course.
Speaker 1: Whereas brooks Kepka is he's a physical specimen and you
Speaker 1: feel like he thinks he could take down a golf
Speaker 1: course that was a course you had you think your
Speaker 1: way through. And Phil didn't play great. He survived, but
Speaker 1: that's all he needed to to do. And all you
Speaker 1: have to do is don't put up a big number.
Speaker 1: If you look at the par five's, Phil was three under,
Speaker 1: brooks Kapka three over. There's your tournament right there. I mean,
Speaker 1: you would think brooks Kapko would have an advantage on
Speaker 1: par five's over Phil Nicholson, but he didn't. Yesterday. It
Speaker 1: was great to hear the gallery the fans like just
Speaker 1: having that kind of full throat people. They were let
Speaker 1: out of captivity. I mean, really that's what it was.
Speaker 1: It felt like we're going to release you from captivity.
Speaker 1: Go have fun. You had great weather, you had great golf,
Speaker 1: a couple of beverages, and you had some people who
Speaker 1: had a great time. And that's a wonderful place if
Speaker 1: you ever get a chance to go down to Kiowa
Speaker 1: and play any of those courses. Wonderful host down there,
Speaker 1: and you're not very far from Charles and it's a
Speaker 1: great destination. But I will say if you play that
Speaker 1: ocean course, no matter if you're playing it from the uptis,
Speaker 1: it's challenging. It it'll bring you to tears. It's that challenging.
Speaker 1: But those guys yesterday, those are the best in the
Speaker 1: world and they treated him like they played on the
Speaker 1: weekend with you. All Right, what else do you have? McLevin? Okay,
Speaker 1: what do you think? Wait, does somebody think that Phil?
Speaker 1: What Phil did yesterday rivals what Tiger did in twenty nineteen? Paulie, Well,
Speaker 1: the wording of the poll question is which was more historic?
Speaker 1: If you said which is bigger? Tiger was a bigger weekend,
Speaker 1: bigger reaction, but there's no history involved. He didn't pass
Speaker 1: Jack Nicholas, and it was great for Tiger Woods and
Speaker 1: for golf. Phil kind of etched himself in because Phil
Speaker 1: doesn't have much history. He's not in top five in majors.
Speaker 1: He's never been number one in the world, I don't think.
Speaker 1: And but yesterday he put himself in where he might
Speaker 1: be the oldest guy to win a major for quite
Speaker 1: a while. And that's his storic. So the word historic
Speaker 1: there kind of alters the paul a little. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: historic for golf. Yeah, bigger was Tiger's weekend? Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: a little tricky there with the world, you know, in semantics. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: you're right about that. Yeah, you lead the league and
Speaker 1: submits right. Yes, we can't spell it, but I know
Speaker 1: what I mean. What was a bigger deal Phil's first
Speaker 1: major or this major two thousand and four Masters he
Speaker 1: broke through, Well, that was huge for him, just right
Speaker 1: for him. Like this field felt really sweet for him yesterday.
Speaker 1: But that can't rival your first major. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I anyone at the Masters, because this is where we
Speaker 1: kept waiting for Phil, Like, okay, Phil, let's go famous
Speaker 1: in college. I think they won the NCAA tournament by
Speaker 1: fifty two strokes. I think his I think Arizona State
Speaker 1: won the NCAA tournament by fifty two shots. But he's
Speaker 1: been famous for a long time. We were just waiting
Speaker 1: for him to be professionally famous. Yes, mcclemen. And he
Speaker 1: hasn't won a US Open, right, and he's going to
Speaker 1: his own of course story pines. Yeah, you give him
Speaker 1: a shot. Of course. That's why when people say, oh,
Speaker 1: you have no shot, it'd be like, hey, Memphis has
Speaker 1: no chance against Utah, Yeah they do, Yeah they do.
Speaker 1: Memphis has no chance against Golden State, Yeah they do.
Speaker 1: Now you can say one percent, but they have a
Speaker 1: chance because they're there. If you're not there, then you
Speaker 1: have no chance. And Phil winning the you know PG Championship.
Speaker 1: He still hits it. I mean he's still in good shape,
Speaker 1: hits it far got flexibility. It just Phil always sits
Speaker 1: a squirrely shot or two. Yesterday he was good, Like
Speaker 1: if you make a mistake, what do you do after
Speaker 1: you make a mistake? That decides these tournaments? And it's
Speaker 1: just a small thing where you know, you'd have Kepka,
Speaker 1: mak a Bogey and filmmaker Birdie and you'd have a
Speaker 1: two shot swing and they were playing with each other,
Speaker 1: you know, in that final twosome there. But I do
Speaker 1: think that that crowd was beneficial for Phil. I think
Speaker 1: that he plays off the crowd. The crowd loves him
Speaker 1: and was supporting him. We don't really know Brooks Kepka.
Speaker 1: We like him when he's on this show. He shows
Speaker 1: a lot of personality. Normally he doesn't like He's just
Speaker 1: out there. This is business. I'm out here to win majors.
Speaker 1: And this is a guy who underwent knee surgery in
Speaker 1: March this March, dealing with a kneecap dislocation and ligament damage.
Speaker 1: The injury occurred while he was with his family ten
Speaker 1: days earlier, and he slipped and the injury required the
Speaker 1: kneecap to be put back in place. And remember he
Speaker 1: went to the Masters, so he had all of that
Speaker 1: that he's dealing with. I just think being there in
Speaker 1: the final twosome is pretty incredible. What you know, brooks
Speaker 1: Kepka is you know, he's the one that is you know,
Speaker 1: would have appeared older that you have an injury, and
Speaker 1: you're coming back from an injury, but fill at age
Speaker 1: fifty almost fifty one. Great story. Yeah, mcclevin, Okay, I
Speaker 1: hate to go, oh here we go, but I am
Speaker 1: surprised whatever. It's golf. I mean, all these are like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's fifty. I'm surprise other fifty year olds are worthy.
Speaker 1: It's not like you go out to a course and
Speaker 1: you say, oh, that guy's too old, like it's a
Speaker 1: it's a sport four old people and you are right, man.
Speaker 1: I mean it's like bowling. You know where you go, Well,
Speaker 1: that guy you know bowled a great game. Yeah he's
Speaker 1: like sixty one. Yeah, okay, he picked up a ten
Speaker 1: pound ball and rolled it down the lane a couple
Speaker 1: of times, had a couple of beers. All right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Paul Well, which is tougher being like a first baseman
Speaker 1: or a golfer. A first baseman swings how many times
Speaker 1: a game like six? Well, you do have to run
Speaker 1: well if you if you make contacts, you have to
Speaker 1: run ninety feet. Well, I wonder what is more taxing
Speaker 1: on the body playing a baseball game or golf? Golf
Speaker 1: by far, because you're swinging hard. Just the just the
Speaker 1: mental aspect of golf is what wears you down, you know,
Speaker 1: because these guys are you know, they're in good shape,
Speaker 1: they've been swinging like this for you know, twenty thirty years.
Speaker 1: But just being out there in the moment where every
Speaker 1: shot is so magnified. Yeah, you know. Now if you're
Speaker 1: saying Game seven of a World Series and you're playing
Speaker 1: first base, that'd probably be you know, a little more taxing.
Speaker 1: The stakes are a little bit higher. What else do
Speaker 1: you have their buzzkill mcluch okay, which is more impressive,
Speaker 1: Tom at forty three winning the Super Bowl, Lebron at
Speaker 1: thirty five winning the NBA Finals. We have Serena Williams
Speaker 1: at thirty six when the Australian Open in twenty seventeen
Speaker 1: and she was pregnant. Oh what she pregnant? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: think she might have been pregnant. Phil was not yesterday?
Speaker 1: I checked? Okay, all right, I checked? I mean journalist?
Speaker 1: Was his wife pregnant? Okay? Or Phil at fifty? Phil
Speaker 1: at fifty? I think I think Tom Brady at forty
Speaker 1: three would be the front runner and the way people
Speaker 1: would vote. Yeah, but I don't look at Lebron as old.
Speaker 1: He's doing things that other players haven't done, and the
Speaker 1: mileage that he's built up when you have over two
Speaker 1: seasons of playoff basketball, that's incredible. But I don't look
Speaker 1: at him as old. Brady Brady can act old or
Speaker 1: there are times in a game where it feels like
Speaker 1: he's old, but then there are other times where you
Speaker 1: don't even think about his age. I did feel bad
Speaker 1: for Phil from this standpoint. Maybe feel bad is not
Speaker 1: the best description, but it felt like every question had
Speaker 1: to do with your fifty, not that you won the Major.
Speaker 1: I could still be a big deal if he won
Speaker 1: the Major and he was forty nine, but but it
Speaker 1: felt like, hey, you turned fifty, So if he was
Speaker 1: forty nine, would this be a big deal. Yeah, we'd
Speaker 1: be still the oldest, but it wouldn't be like fifty,
Speaker 1: Like you got that round number. Man, you're fifty, Phil,
Speaker 1: You're fifty. When you look back on it, like every
Speaker 1: question almost was the same thing that you know Brady
Speaker 1: gets time you're forty three. Yeah, see, I like that.
Speaker 1: At a certain point he was getting he got so
Speaker 1: many questions about how old he was and if he
Speaker 1: was retiring or anything like that that he was like, look,
Speaker 1: I get it, this might be the last golf tournament
Speaker 1: I ever win. I totally understand that. However, it might
Speaker 1: also be the beginning of a run that I go
Speaker 1: on for the next couple of years. Like yeah, yeah, Bully. Also,
Speaker 1: when does complimenting someone on what shape they're in now
Speaker 1: become a backhanded compliment, Like, dude, you're in way better
Speaker 1: shape than you were five years ago. I wasn't, you know,
Speaker 1: like he wasn't. I don't know who, but like about
Speaker 1: a dozen people on TV said that the fell like
Speaker 1: you were in such better shape. Yeah, well you really
Speaker 1: changed your body type for this tournament. What are you
Speaker 1: saying about that? What are you saying? That's such a
Speaker 1: nice way it's to say, like, you know, so you
Speaker 1: were really heavy, you looked out of shape? What happened? Now?
Speaker 1: You don't look as out of shape as you once did.
Speaker 1: Congratulations philaded and looked fifty, not at all. Go look
Speaker 1: at old Tom Morris. He looks like he's eighty. How
Speaker 1: do you get the nickname old? Like? When do you
Speaker 1: get the nickname Old Tom Morris? And didn't he like
Speaker 1: he's Saint Andrews. I think old Tom Morris. I think
Speaker 1: he was born there. I think he's buried there, might
Speaker 1: be in a bunker over there, Saint Andrews. Is that
Speaker 1: is that Old Tom Morris? That I looks like it?
Speaker 1: Hey Tom? Yeah, pule. He was like the Greg Odin
Speaker 1: of his time. He was thirty years old. He looked
Speaker 1: sixty five like old Tom Morris. Man, you look old.
Speaker 1: You just got out of college, Old greg Odin. That's
Speaker 1: what they would have called him if he was a golfer. Yes, mclovin,
Speaker 1: we're getting into Wilford Brimley. Yes, Wilford Brimley was forty
Speaker 1: nine when he shot the movie Cocoon, where he's playing
Speaker 1: like a septagenarian at the retirement home. Wilford Brimley was
Speaker 1: younger than three of the Danettes in that movie, and
Speaker 1: he looked like a Yeah, Wilford Brimley is forty nine
Speaker 1: or forty eight in that movie You got diabetes, You
Speaker 1: get dabets already nine. I shouldn't have diabetes. Will for Brimley,
Speaker 1: for Quaker Roads. Let me take a break. I got

Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. You're fifty five. You don't look
Speaker 1: fifty five. But what was the big reason why you
Speaker 1: couldn't you stop playing? There was times when all right,
Speaker 1: I have a bed and it took me a good
Speaker 1: twelve to fifteen minutes just to get to the bathroom.
Speaker 1: Your knees, especially for me, my ankles. My ankles hurt
Speaker 1: so bad and it just took too long to warm
Speaker 1: up my body. It's the recovery when you're playing four
Speaker 1: games and five nights, you're going against some of the
Speaker 1: world's best players, especially at shooting guard, and you couldn't
Speaker 1: warm up your body. It. You know, when I was
Speaker 1: watching Phil yesterday and it was riveting because it was
Speaker 1: for us old guys. And I'm sure he doesn't want
Speaker 1: to hear that because fifty y're not old. Fifty five
Speaker 1: you're not old. You know. I'm a semi pro professional
Speaker 1: mountain biker and I don't consider myself old. But it
Speaker 1: was one like for us. As much time Phil puts
Speaker 1: into its craft as I put into my craft to
Speaker 1: get that feeling back I keep telling me about winning
Speaker 1: is like a drug. You know, once you've had a
Speaker 1: little bit of success, you wanted all the time. And
Speaker 1: Phil was in that moment for those four days. He
Speaker 1: had that feeling. I kind of equate what he did
Speaker 1: yesterday and people are gonna be like, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: That's crazy. When Kobe had the sixty points his last
Speaker 1: game at thirty eight, it was equivalent to what I
Speaker 1: saw yesterday because you looked in Kobe's eyes and he
Speaker 1: had that nineteen year old Kobe Bryant look. Phil had
Speaker 1: that twenty five year old look in his eyes. On
Speaker 1: each hole. Were there some blunders, absolutely, that's golfing, but
Speaker 1: he had that walk that we were accustomed to seeing.
Speaker 1: And I think the fans, first of all, how great
Speaker 1: is it to have fans back at sported events. It
Speaker 1: was fabulous to hear all the comments that were being
Speaker 1: shouted his way. It was just cool to watch. So
Speaker 1: when Kobe was getting that sixty, that because we knew
Speaker 1: we were never going to see it again. Phil's going
Speaker 1: to continue to play golfing events and tournaments and being majors,
Speaker 1: but I don't know if he'll ever recapture that look,
Speaker 1: that walk. It was just very cool to see. But
Speaker 1: do you consider Tom Brady old? Do you consider Lebron
Speaker 1: James old? I would say I would say Tom Brady
Speaker 1: is old for his sport and what he's doing at
Speaker 1: forty three to be a top level Super BOWLD winning
Speaker 1: contributing quarterback at at forty three, Yeah, that's old. Because
Speaker 1: look at Peyton Manny when he won his last championship
Speaker 1: in Denver. The defense won that championship, that's Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Peyton was more of a man gene quarterback, so we'd
Speaker 1: be wrong. It was great, But the defense and mister
Speaker 1: Miller won that champion that Super Bowl. Tom Brady was
Speaker 1: making plays. He was making plays to win that Super
Speaker 1: Bowl this time out. So yeah, he's old for a
Speaker 1: suit for a Super Bowl winning quarterback. But because of
Speaker 1: science and technology and all these recovery tools, nowadays, guys
Speaker 1: can play longer. That's just how it is. But why
Speaker 1: is it that guys in your er could play eighty
Speaker 1: two games and guys nowadays can't. I'm not saying that
Speaker 1: they can't, they won't. I think they're looking at the
Speaker 1: big picture because I think more guys want to be
Speaker 1: fresher and have more in the tank come playoff time.
Speaker 1: Whereas guys in my era, it was all about just competing,
Speaker 1: going out and and playing. I will say this, I
Speaker 1: was a little I shouldn't say disappointed. I was shocked
Speaker 1: and listening to Rudy Gobert's comments post game, he was
Speaker 1: a little shocked that Donovan Mitchell wasn't playing yesterday. Because
Speaker 1: I always felt me at eight percent is better than
Speaker 1: a lot of people at one hundred percent. That's how
Speaker 1: I always approached it. So if I was a little
Speaker 1: banged up, nick I had a tweaked ankle, I was
Speaker 1: gonna give it a go, because sometimes you could be
Speaker 1: a decoy and the defense is going to be shifted
Speaker 1: towards you. This is when you get an opportunity to
Speaker 1: get other guys involved. I would have loved to have
Speaker 1: seen Donovan Mitchell out there at seventy percent. Now, I'm
Speaker 1: sure he's gonna come back and play wins. If he
Speaker 1: doesn't play Wednesday, then we know it's much more serious.
Speaker 1: But if he can play Wednesday, he could have played
Speaker 1: last night. That's how I look at it. Give me
Speaker 1: the team that has already lost in the first round
Speaker 1: that should be nervous that maybe this isn't an aberration
Speaker 1: that maybe this could be a pattern. I always say
Speaker 1: this in semi game series, the best team usually rises
Speaker 1: to the top cream rises and you'll win the series.
Speaker 1: But I will say the Portland Denverse series, Portland on
Speaker 1: paper is a top four team. They just didn't play
Speaker 1: like it all year, and they had injuries and Damian
Speaker 1: Lillard had to carry this team while Nurkic and mccollumn
Speaker 1: recovered from injuries early in the season. They kind of
Speaker 1: found their way down the stretch. That's always been a
Speaker 1: scary matchup because Lillard is a Pucket getter and Camaro
Speaker 1: playing his old team, and you know, we've heard the
Speaker 1: booze and some of the comments coming out of there.
Speaker 1: They have a lot to prove, and with Jamal already
Speaker 1: missing from Denver, it's just scary for Michael Malone and
Speaker 1: the Nuggets. I'm not saying they can't win that series.
Speaker 1: Yokich has been great, probably will win the MVP, But
Speaker 1: I kind of like Portland in that series. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: do too. You know, I look at the Clippers, you
Speaker 1: know they they wanted this matchup. Yeah, And now, I mean,
Speaker 1: if there's a lot of pressure here on Kawhi Leonard
Speaker 1: remember when Kawhi and Lebron and who do you want?
Speaker 1: And Kawai is a better player, and I went, you
Speaker 1: guys are full and you have no idea what you're
Speaker 1: talking about. Nobody's talked about Kawhi is one of the
Speaker 1: great players in the game. It's like, oh, yeah, Kauhi,
Speaker 1: this is his time, playoff time, this is what you're
Speaker 1: supposed to do. And then you lose it home to Dallas.
Speaker 1: All right, one game, but they don't know how to
Speaker 1: stop Luca here. I thought that Dallas would have beaten
Speaker 1: them in the bubble last year year. You know, Porzingis
Speaker 1: got tossed and Luca got hurt. You know, they targeted
Speaker 1: his ankle there. I thought that they were going to
Speaker 1: beat him last year. But any concerns with the Clippers,
Speaker 1: there's always concerns with the Clippers because you feel that
Speaker 1: they have that Clipper curse. And you know, he's given
Speaker 1: him his nickname, playoff Pe And the first half he
Speaker 1: was not existent and Paul George he came alive a
Speaker 1: little bit in the second half. Look, they'll always be
Speaker 1: pressure on the Clippers because they're crosstown rivals, are the Lakers,
Speaker 1: and they have all the championships. But you go out
Speaker 1: and you get Kauai, you get PG, you go out
Speaker 1: and get Serge Ibaka. I mean, this is a team
Speaker 1: you and I have talked about this. I thought the
Speaker 1: Lakers and the Clippers were always the two best teams
Speaker 1: in the West, but right now both of them don't
Speaker 1: look like it. And is there a lot of pressure
Speaker 1: on Kauai absolutely winning two championships, one in Toronto, one
Speaker 1: in San Antonio. But I think they are a team
Speaker 1: that aren't afraid to go on the road, who win
Speaker 1: ball games. I think they'll win Game two, um, but
Speaker 1: I think they will go into Texas and get another one.
Speaker 1: I think it's a long series, but I still feel
Speaker 1: that they have They have too many players that can
Speaker 1: guard Luca don Chich when it matters, Kawhi, Paul George,
Speaker 1: Patrick Beverley, So they have guys that can can play
Speaker 1: him and kind of limit him. I'm just worried for
Speaker 1: Dallas if those guys can continue to shoot like that,
Speaker 1: because all it takes is one hard hit to Porzingis
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be out. You know, I don't have
Speaker 1: a lot of faith in Porzingis because he's he's always
Speaker 1: getting hurt during games, and I don't know if Hardaway
Speaker 1: can continue to shoot like that, Jalen Brunson can continue
Speaker 1: to shoot like that to win four games. I know
Speaker 1: Luca can, I'm not. I don't my faith that's not
Speaker 1: in the rest of those guys on that Dallas team.
Speaker 1: I'm talking to Reggie Miller, the Hall of Famer that
Speaker 1: brings us to the Lakers. I'm not surprised lost the
Speaker 1: opener to the Phoenix Suns, but it's how they lose.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Anthony Davis just was kind of nondescript
Speaker 1: and I don't know he could be, you know, more
Speaker 1: banged up than we know. But the rest of the team,
Speaker 1: that's where the rest of the team helps when somebody
Speaker 1: is not one. What concerns do you have with the
Speaker 1: Lakers that Lebron and a D are going to have
Speaker 1: to play near perfect for them to be back to
Speaker 1: back championships. I think in the bubble, where you played
Speaker 1: in one or two venues, there was no travel, I
Speaker 1: think you could get away with that. Now that you've
Speaker 1: got to go into other people's arenas. I think Lebron
Speaker 1: and a D, especially ad a D is going to
Speaker 1: show why he's one of the top ten players in
Speaker 1: the NBA. He has the talent, he has the skill,
Speaker 1: and with Phoenix being an undersized team, he should be dominating.
Speaker 1: And we kind of got a glimpse of this when
Speaker 1: they played Golden State and escaped. Let's face it, Golden
Speaker 1: State should have beaten the Lakers in that seven eight matchup,
Speaker 1: but Golden State they just couldn't, you know, ball security,
Speaker 1: that's not in their DNA, and they kept turning the
Speaker 1: ball over. And they're a one man band with Steph.
Speaker 1: So I'm not surprised. I'm more surprised that Ad has
Speaker 1: not taken it up part himself, because he played terrible
Speaker 1: in Golden State and he played terrible last night with
Speaker 1: an undersized Phoenix team. He should be dominating and he's not.
Speaker 1: And it just goes to show you the thin margin.
Speaker 1: If they're not healthy, which clearly it looks like they
Speaker 1: are not, they're very vulnerable to being sent home. And
Speaker 1: I know they're the favorites. I know they're the champs,
Speaker 1: but right now they are not. Right. Trey Young of
Speaker 1: the Hawks hit the game winner in the Garden and
Speaker 1: had this to say after the Hawks beat the Knicks,
Speaker 1: I think it was. Uh. I mean, you know you've
Speaker 1: you've been in the biggest stages. I mean when you're
Speaker 1: I mean in his zone and uh, everybody's chanting you.
Speaker 1: I don't know if any of y'all had that, but
Speaker 1: I've had it a code time. I had it in
Speaker 1: college and I had again at night. So I mean
Speaker 1: it got real quiet at the end, and for me,
Speaker 1: I wanted to hear those a few chances. Again, Well
Speaker 1: you've heard it. You've you've heard those comments before at
Speaker 1: the garden, haven't your rede There is nothing better, mister Tray,
Speaker 1: then having listening to a rat peon cotton in there.
Speaker 1: It is so quiet, you can hear it. You can
Speaker 1: hear it. Look, that's gonna be a great series because
Speaker 1: when it shifts to Atlanta. See, Atlanta has never really
Speaker 1: had a true whole court because everyone travels and lives
Speaker 1: in Atlanta now, So there'll be a very pro Knicks
Speaker 1: crowd in Atlanta. And I know Spikes is going to
Speaker 1: travel there. You went to Moorehousing, Uh, so you know
Speaker 1: Spike is going to be in the building. So the
Speaker 1: Knicks can win on the road. I think that goes
Speaker 1: seven games. But we are seeing some of our young
Speaker 1: stars in their first playoff, like Come of Age Trey Young,
Speaker 1: we saw John Morant, Dylan Brooks. I mean, this is
Speaker 1: fun to watch the next generation play at a high
Speaker 1: level in the playoffs with all the money on the
Speaker 1: table and look fantastic doing it. But if you're Trey Young,
Speaker 1: do you invite this now? Because you always played to
Speaker 1: the crowd in the garden, you weren't afraid of that,
Speaker 1: but you were a veteran. You know he's young, I
Speaker 1: mean truly young, at what twenty years of age? But
Speaker 1: the only I say yes, and the reason why I
Speaker 1: say yes is because he has the type of game
Speaker 1: that can shut people up. He can knock it down
Speaker 1: from thirty five. He's always going to have the ball
Speaker 1: in his hands. He's a playmaker. I wanted that, but
Speaker 1: I didn't have the type of game where I could
Speaker 1: control the game ninety percent of the time because I
Speaker 1: was handling the ball. I had to receive the ball
Speaker 1: from Mark and Haywood workmen and Burn Fleming and guys
Speaker 1: like that. So mister Trey Young bringing on his shoulders
Speaker 1: look broad, it's only gonna get worse from here on out.
Speaker 1: Because I remember the big play the eight points in
Speaker 1: nine seconds, and afterwards the Knicks chokes John starts jokes.
Speaker 1: I was saying all this, and I got we got
Speaker 1: hammered in game two, and I just remember Larry Brown
Speaker 1: just giving me the Riot Act because of that. So
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot worse this morning when he's
Speaker 1: reading the papers and he's saying all that the Knicks
Speaker 1: are gonna come after him in game two, so he's
Speaker 1: gonna have to be ready. But what did Spike Lee
Speaker 1: actually say to you during games? It started with him
Speaker 1: and the sherl chance and Sheryl was better, and that's
Speaker 1: kind of that's kind of what started in and then
Speaker 1: he got it is true though, Like what he was
Speaker 1: saying was true. It was true, Spike Lean, I didn't
Speaker 1: even hear it from that little troll over there, so
Speaker 1: he would just yell out Cheryl. Yeah, he's like put
Speaker 1: a wig on l Miller's Jarl Miller's out here playing
Speaker 1: with them. I'm like, I was like, is he really
Speaker 1: saying is he really saying this? I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna talk, you pay all this money for
Speaker 1: these expensive seats, You're gonna be a part of the game. Spike,
Speaker 1: and I mean him part of the game. If you're
Speaker 1: Trey Young, do you say anything to Spike Lee? You
Speaker 1: have to, though Spike is up there dancing and you know,
Speaker 1: moon walking on the sidelines when the Knicks are going
Speaker 1: on runs. You have to. Kobe went through the same thing, MJ.
Speaker 1: I love Spike. That is Spike's job is the number
Speaker 1: one Knicks fan. And I will go to my graves
Speaker 1: saying I admire him because there should be more people
Speaker 1: that a rider die like Spike Lee. But it's sounding
Speaker 1: good to give them a little bit. So Trey, next
Speaker 1: time you knocked out a tray, come look over there
Speaker 1: a little bit out of them. Yeah, I would just
Speaker 1: do a drive by and just say you thought Reggie
Speaker 1: Miller was it was a nemesis. That's yes, just because
Speaker 1: this mine was a short window. Mine started in ninety three,
Speaker 1: ninety four and went to about two thousand, and you know,
Speaker 1: I was only a seven or eight year window. Trey
Speaker 1: Young could have a ten to twelve year window of
Speaker 1: tormenting tormenting the Knicks. I say go for it. Red
Speaker 1: was on the call Grizzlies Jazz last night tonight. It's
Speaker 1: the heat in the box and then tomorrow night you'll
Speaker 1: have the Lakers and the Suns at ten eastern Olan TNT.
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you then Red we'll be watching tonight.

Speaker 1: dan dot com, free shipping sixty day guarantee, don't let
Speaker 1: age beat you. rEFInd your prime with m drive, update
Speaker 1: the poll results mclovin. Then we'll get to phone call's
Speaker 1: best and worst of the weekend. Okay, most impressive old guy,
Speaker 1: achieve it our old woman at yous case. We have
Speaker 1: time Brady wining the Super Bowl at forty three, Phil
Speaker 1: Mickelson winning the PGA of fifties, Serena Williams won the
Speaker 1: Australian Open at thirty five, and Lebron winning the title
Speaker 1: at thirty five. Michelson is beating Brady by three points
Speaker 1: in this bowl. Recency bibs there big time, but you
Speaker 1: know he's last place. And I kind of get this
Speaker 1: Lebron James because I don't think we think of him
Speaker 1: as the old guy yet. I mean maybe now, but
Speaker 1: that wasn't like Tom Brady. But still what he's doing
Speaker 1: at this age. He's gone seventeen consecutive seasons where he's
Speaker 1: average at least twenty five points a game. You know
Speaker 1: that he goes to the NBA Finals. It feels like
Speaker 1: every year. I think we take it for granted because
Speaker 1: you know, Jordan and Kobe and bird Magic, they were old,
Speaker 1: they looked old, they played old when they were a
Speaker 1: similar age. Lebron doesn't look old like there are still
Speaker 1: moments where you go, he's the best player in the game,
Speaker 1: but he's in great shape. But Brady, I would think
Speaker 1: what he did at that age and he's still playing,
Speaker 1: and to me, he's more impressive than what Phil Mickelson did, Yeah, Polly,
Speaker 1: this is Lebron's fifteenth time being in the playoffs. He's
Speaker 1: always in the playoffs. He averages about eighteen playoff games
Speaker 1: a year. He's at two hundred and sixty plus playoff
Speaker 1: games in his career. That's another four seasons of basketball.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I said two. So four seasons of basketball.
Speaker 1: At the end of this year, it'll basically be four seasons. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: depending on how far they go. Yeah, if Anthony Davis
Speaker 1: doesn't start to contribute, then might be a one and
Speaker 1: donner there. And that wasn't The thing that I watched
Speaker 1: with Anthony Davis is if you can't score, can you
Speaker 1: contribute in another way? Superstars can't get lost on the floor.
Speaker 1: There were times when I'm watching the game and I
Speaker 1: didn't realize that Anthony Davis was out there. Don't stand
Speaker 1: on the perimeter, do something inside rebound pass unless there's
Speaker 1: something that's a little bit more serious. Now, is he
Speaker 1: one hundred percent? No, But who is one hundred percent
Speaker 1: at this stage of the season. The guys who don't
Speaker 1: play might be one hundred percent. But Lebron, like, if
Speaker 1: you know Anthony Davis isn't bringing it then you have
Speaker 1: to bring it. He started out great and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden disappeared. Can't do that. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: a Phoenix Suns team that probably feels like nobody's giving
Speaker 1: us a chance here. And Chris Paul loves to play
Speaker 1: with the chip on his shoulder, and that's a good team,
Speaker 1: not literally a chip on his shoulder. I could be uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Barry and Long Island leads this, Barry, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 1: Best and worst of the weekend. Good morning boys. Sorry
Speaker 1: to bring up hockey again, but I was at the
Speaker 1: Islander Penguin game. They won, but more importantly, there were
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of Jets there. They were pounding beers.
Speaker 1: One of the line and did the obligatory smashed the
Speaker 1: bear can on his forehead. And also, don't let the
Speaker 1: b yu foolia. Zach Wilson is a brow. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: he was drinking water. He was into it, right, he
Speaker 1: was into it. No, he was drinking water. If someone's
Speaker 1: got to keep their head. Worse of the weekend due
Speaker 1: to the week due to the injuries Mets starting outfield Janishu,
Speaker 1: Fargus Khalil Lee and some dude named Hagar good luck.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Barry, Phil and Indiana. I Phil, Hey, Dan,
Speaker 1: always a pleasure. I appreciate it the best by far.
Speaker 1: I was Phil Mickelson and Dan. I would make an
Speaker 1: argument that Walt Tiger's story is more compelling. I think
Speaker 1: Phil's win is more impressive. Augustus kind of a tricked
Speaker 1: up course. They play it every year. You know where
Speaker 1: the penning placements are with the length of key, while
Speaker 1: the conditions not being played yearly in the leaderboard, Dan,
Speaker 1: I would make an argument, I think Phill's win is
Speaker 1: more impressive. Have a great week, buddy. All right, thank you, Phil,
Speaker 1: But I mean I'll give you the course is difficult,
Speaker 1: and they're not out there where they're playing. We didn't
Speaker 1: even know if Tiger could play again. You had a
Speaker 1: professional analyst who declared him done, and then he goes
Speaker 1: and wins Augusta. He's familiar with the course, and so
Speaker 1: is everybody else who plays that course. It's not just
Speaker 1: you know, Hey, Tiger is the only one who knows
Speaker 1: this course. All these other players did. That to me
Speaker 1: is more impressive, not more historical. Nick Faldo will join us,
Speaker 1: coming up more phone calls as well.
