WEBVTT - Hour 2 - Duncan Robinson (07-02-20) 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.400 Sports Radio. Welcome to the program. It's our one on 0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:09.960 this Thursday, Dan and the Dan at Stan Patrick's Show, 0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:14.080 where Dan at down Pauli has started his vacation a 0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:17.239 day early. To bubble or not to bubble? That is 0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:20.960 the question commissioners had to ponder all spring long. And 0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:22.840 now here we are on the brink of every league 0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:27.680 opening up. And it's funny how viewpoints on different solutions changed. 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:30.560 A few weeks ago, the NBA bubble seemed excessive to some. 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:36.200 Then several states saw their numbers in the Corona cases rise. 0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:38.840 They maybe the NBA is better off, But then again, 0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:43.280 the number of cases rising in Florida, in Orlando, that 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:45.680 could be concerning if a league is in a bubble 0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:50.640 in that city. The thing is, this virus has changed quickly. 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:52.720 It's hard to tell where we're going to be in 0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:55.080 a week, a month, two months. Every league has its 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:59.320 own circumstances. Yeah, the commissioner the NBA saying, you know, 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:02.720 we didn't see these spikes happening back a couple of 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:06.080 weeks ago, month ago when they were proposing the bubble. 0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:09.360 The NFL probably has too many players to even consider 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:13.160 a bubble. Baseball had discussed playing in a central location 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:16.840 like Arizona or Florida, they opted to stay at home. 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:20.600 NHL still hasn't officially named hub cities, at least I 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:23.840 don't think so. They're no easy answers here. Yeah, mcluban. 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:26.520 I read a report that they're leading Edmonton in Toronto 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:29.160 by the way, Okay, yeah, but I don't know if 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.880 that's vitalizing. We say good morning to our great friends 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.840 in Toronto. You know, these are questions that are going 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.759 to challenge these leagues in ways that we've never seen. 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.480 And I think that that will be something that you 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.640 keep an eye on. And maybe you don't follow soccer 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:49.040 Major League soccer, but you just had a team coming 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:53.680 in from Dallas to Orlando. They tested negative when they 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:57.880 were in Dallas. Nine have tested positive in Orlando. It's 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:02.840 going to happen. And soccer players, by all accounts, great athletes. 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:06.480 You know, they're not heavy, they're all built sort of 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:09.480 similarly you get to NFL players. You get to a 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:13.120 football player who weighs three hundred pounds. Are they more 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:17.360 at risk here? And the fact that spring, the training 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.400 camps when they start and preseason games for the NFL. 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:24.280 They're taking away the first preseason game and the last 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.200 preseason game. And there's a reason for that, because if 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.720 I said, oh, they're taking away two preseason games, you 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.560 would assume it would be weeks one and two. They're 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:36.160 taking away Week one in week four, and in particular, 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:39.440 week four gives them, I believe, a two week window 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.960 if somebody has tested positive, they would be able to 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:46.200 go through quarantine and they would be able to play 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:49.120 in Week one. I still have my doubts if there's 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:53.240 going to be Week one starting on time. But maybe 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.560 I'm in the minority here and maybe I'm wrong, completely wrong, 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.360 and I hope i am, but I don't think so. 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:04.200 You also have a story with the Washington Redskins. Now 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:07.880 you have some big time sponsors that could be affected 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:13.720 or there's pressure on Nike FedEx Pepsi to demand the 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:18.079 Washington Redskins change their nickname. Now you have money attached 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.320 to this. It always comes down to the bottom line 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:27.160 money advertisers, those sponsors decide that they're going to back out. 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:32.440 My point is Nike is saying, hey, you know what, 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.680 or they're being pressured to tell the Redskins to change 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.680 their nickname. Nike can benefit from this, like net Nike 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:42.200 has nothing to lose here. You can be part of 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:46.320 the change, and then Nike makes all the merchandise for 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:52.280 the Washington Redskins. Everybody's going to benefit here, Daniel Sneider, 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.080 you get a whole new revenue stream with merchandise. And 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.520 you can go kicking and screaming because he has said 0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:02.600 on multiple occasions he's not changing that nick if he's 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.320 not getting a new stadium without changing the nickname, and 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:10.760 that came out yesterday, the commissioner could make a change here. 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:13.680 Commissioner could be a little bit more heavy handed here, 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:16.640 and I think he's trying to be as heavy handed 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:19.919 as possible with Colin Kaepernick. I think the commissioners looking 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.400 at a bigger picture of how history is going to 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:26.560 view him and what he stood for changes, and those 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:31.599 are two huge changes. Adam Silver is still getting credit 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.520 for what happened with the Clippers and Donald Stirling, and 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:38.960 that was easy. Like nobody argued with that, Nobody had 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:42.680 a problem with that. Hey you got an owner, bad owner, 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.920 racist owner made comments, all right, you got to sell 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:51.440 the team. That's easy. Imagine if you open the door 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:55.800 for Kaepernick to get an opportunity, and you change the 0:04:55.839 --> 0:05:02.680 Washington Redskins nickname. That's pretty big, and that would probably 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.840 not that and I don't know him. That put him 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:09.000 in the Hall of Fame. I believe that that would 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.839 be something where he's grown the league, the owners have 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:15.400 made money, He's done what you want an owner to do. 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.680 That is, he's the one who gets criticized. And if 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:23.200 you did these two things, that would I think be huge. 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.280 Age seven seven three D P show email address TP 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.919 at dan Patrick dot com. We got sidetracked a little 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:33.000 bit last hour mclovin asking about fireworks and Hamburgers and 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:37.160 Mayo Nay. I just watch Officer and a Gentleman again 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.760 the other night and Lue Gossip Junior. I think he 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.960 won the Academy Award for that role. He's so good 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:48.080 as the drill sergeant. And Richard gear is Mayo is 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:51.800 his last name. So Richard, you had Loue Gossip calling 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:58.880 him Mayo Nay's good movie. Richard Gears, Deborah Winger, that's good. 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:04.360 But Lue Gossip Junior, who he's spectacular. And if I 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:10.560 ain't gonna right then you can get it. You're out 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:24.480 do I got lower the goal? Dude, male needs they 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:28.120 have that fight in the ring. It's good. Good movie, 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:32.560 holds up. I think I don't know. Fly Boys spent 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.400 some time with Don Mattingly Donnie Baseball in the first 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.280 hour of the program. I also found out that, uh 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:41.000 so Donnie Baseball. One of the great nicknames of all 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:45.239 time Ted Williams was Teddy ball game. And I didn't 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:48.799 know if it was Ted when he came to the plate. 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.480 It was ball game. So Teddy's at the plate ball 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:56.280 games over Teddy ball game. He got it from a kid, 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.640 a friend of mine, a photographer named Fred Kaplan. This 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:03.599 is Ted Williams in his autobiography. He brought his little 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:06.200 boy to a game at Fenway. Couldn't have been more 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:09.320 than two years of age at the time, but it 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.480 made an impression on him. A couple of years ago, 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:13.880 Fred was going to the park again and the boy 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:17.400 wanted to come, and he said why, why do you 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:19.800 Who do you want to see? And he said, I 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.600 want to see Teddy. Teddy who And the boy thought 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:26.680 for a minute and said, Teddy ballgame. Oh that's according 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:34.160 to Ted Williams in his autobiography, good nickname, great nickname 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.560 Teddy ball game. But that's when you had great nickname. 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:41.960 Now it's just sort of some derivation of your first name, 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:46.760 last name, initials as club. There's some good nick names now, 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:49.880 aren't there. I don't know. Everyone calls him Greek freaks, 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:54.320 Greek freaks. Good. Johnny Football is probably the closest we've 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:58.160 gotten to Teddy Ballgame. Yeah, but did he give himself 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:04.000 that nickname that Manzell was Johnny Football. That's possible. Yeah. 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.760 I just saw where he's he's kind of come to 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:11.160 grips that he's his football career is over. I think 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:15.240 he should come to grips. There's foot it might be over. 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.040 Oh god, I wish I could could have had his 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:22.760 ear a couple of years ago, because we move on 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:27.880 so quickly. There's always somebody knew, somebody better, somebody more exciting, 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:32.640 and you have your window. And he partied away his window. 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:35.520 And I don't know if he had the discipline. I 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:37.320 don't know if he had the talent to be an 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:43.319 NFL quarterback, a good starting quarterback, consistent starting quarterback, because 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:45.600 you have to be a leader, you have to be dedicated, 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.040 you have to put in the time and you know 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.440 if you're going to be a party boy, you're not 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:54.880 going to be a successful NFL quarterback. If you are, 0:08:55.520 --> 0:09:01.960 then you're you're the low small percentile. But Johnny Manziel, 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:05.160 you know that career, that that careers set sail and 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:09.360 nobody cares about you anymore. It's just because they move 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:12.520 on now don't have fond memories. But it's not like 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.040 he comes up in conversation about any say, hey, you 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.720 gotta sign him. Colin Kaepernick has a better chance than 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:22.320 Johnny Manziel. Yes, done. And even if there was some 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:25.000 type of a comeback story, as we all like, is 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.920 Johnny Manziel likable enough that the average person cares that 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:31.280 he would come back and say he was successful? Is 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.240 that interest to anyone that's a shurance man that he'd 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:36.840 be what a great comeback story? Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely. 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.240 You had more people would be interested in Johnny Manziel 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:43.520 coming back than Colin Kaepernick, be more people probably rooting 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:46.680 for him than Colin Kaepernick. I don't know if there'd 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.280 be people who would not want Johnny Manziel in the NFL. 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:50.960 There are going to be a lot of people who 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:53.439 don't want Colin Kaepernick in the NFL. Yeah, but is 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:55.400 anybody really missing him? I mean like, you don't even 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:57.160 you don't even really, when's the last time we thought 0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:59.160 at Johnny Manziel before he said, oh, by the way, 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:02.280 I think my career's a And he doesn't even he 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.680 doesn't even bubble up. No, he doesn't even get the boy. 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:08.800 Why didn't somebody take a chance on him? But if 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:12.200 he was on somebody's radar, an opportunity to come back, 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.760 I think you know, people would be interested in Johnny Manziel. 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.959 You would show those highlights again in college because there 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:22.079 weren't that many in the NFL. Yeah, we club byway 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:25.560 Bleacher Report ranked sports nicknames, and Teddy ballgame wasn't even 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:29.160 the top three or four. They have Big Unit number one. 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:33.200 That's pretty good. Yeah, Nigerian Nightmare, Christ dccoy. This ago 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:36.000 a number three. The answer I think that's Alan Ivers. Yeah, 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:41.400 that's pretty good. Yeah, the Glide Glide. Ah, let's see 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.880 what out they have the great one? That one that's 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:50.160 not bad? Well, can you top the great one? King James? 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:55.319 Although Ali was the greatest, so I King James, you're right, 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:59.280 but King James is not the great one. No, that's 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:03.280 the chosen one, which somehow back. That's true. Great one 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:07.520 was awesome one, but you can't give yourself a nickname. 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.440 Here's a great one. We all loved Muscle Hamster Doug Martin, 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.719 the little running back and that one always creaked me out. Yeah, 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:15.839 you know you never said it up. I don't think 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:19.120 I did. Hey, there's the muscle hamster. Like just that 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:22.360 thought of a hamster and then he's you know, it's 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:28.200 so accurate though, muscle Hamster. All right, did we settle 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.679 on a poll question? Put up a heart any one? 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:34.000 Do you like fireworks? Yes or alright? Sixty five percent 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:36.160 say yes, although that probably the last couple of months, 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:39.240 not as many like it. Duncan Robinson of the Miami 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:41.680 Heat's gonna join us, and he is one of the 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.680 great shooters. He's on the shortlist of great shooters in 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:47.600 the NBA right now. Uh, and all he does is 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.240 take threes. Yes, those guy's gonna be able to shoot 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.720 well at the bubble. I mean, you know you're a 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:54.840 great shooter. When you go to a weird gym, sometimes 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:58.400 it's harder. I think, if you can shoot, you can shoot, 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.000 not at you see guys in the NTA tournament who 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:04.440 lose their shot. Yes, yeah, but that's the background. So 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.720 the depth there because you you're in these huge football 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:13.200 stadiums and there is depth perception, and that's an issue. 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:18.720 I remember watching a game in the Superdome and LSU 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:22.480 was playing, and I remember some of the players, even 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:25.320 though that's sort of a home away from home court 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:30.400 for LSU, how far the floor is and the basket 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:32.880 is from the stands, and that, you know, because when 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.320 you shoot and guys look at either the front of 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:38.200 the rim or the back of the rim. Uh you know, 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:42.160 I just saw I just looked at everything. I didn't focus, 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:46.920 but guys will focus on front or back iron and 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:50.079 then when you see the depth perception or there, it's 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:52.280 it kind of messes with you a little bit. It 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:54.680 can be a problem for these players, but I don't know. 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.240 I mean, this will be a Summer League game. That's 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:00.280 exactly what it's going to feel like for them, with 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:03.400 the number of people there, the sounds that they're going 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:05.680 to hear. I think for the audience, I think the 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:09.679 TV audience, I think we're in for We're in for surprises. 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:11.240 I don't know if it's a treat, but from what 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:14.959 I'm told and I'm sworn to secrecy on this. I 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:20.000 think we're getting some fun things involved in the broadcast here. Oh, 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:24.320 here's another thing. I'm watching ESPN this morning, Korean baseball. 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.720 Now I applaud the mothership of putting something on that's 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.600 live sports, and you know, granted it's in Korea, and 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:35.520 you got you know, bog Shambion who was a great broadcaster. 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:41.000 And I was just listening and I realized, they don't 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:45.560 even talk about Korean baseball action that's going on. So 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:51.360 I'm watching three guys talk baseball while Korean baseball is on. 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:58.440 It's really bizarre. You'll occasionally get this five three at 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:00.840 the end of four. Other than that, you have no 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.360 idea there's a baseball game going on. No, if I'm 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.960 just listening to you, I don't know there's a baseball game. 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.839 And you know, so you got three guys, you know 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:13.080 that they're in their zoom boxes there and then there's 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:15.880 the baseball game going on. And I just thought it 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:20.320 was It's kind of funny. It was humorous. Where I'm going. 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:22.800 I think i'd say anything like there's a bang bang 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:26.600 play a seconds, you know, like talking advanced stats. Oh, 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.480 they were talking about all the people in front offices 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.760 from the IVY leagues, and meanwhile the actions going on, 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:36.520 and I was like, Okay, there's a fly ball to left. Yeah, 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:39.920 it could be, it might be it is yes time. 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:41.720 It's almost like a green screen. It's like that a 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.120 backdrop with this stuffing going out of the background, like 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.080 you would have books on a bookshelf. This happens to 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.040 be a live baseball game going on behind their chatter. 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.360 It almost looks like it's a parody if they were 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:55.320 gonna have a parody of a play by play team 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:59.240 doing Korean baseball where they don't even talk about the 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:01.880 game itself, or it's like there was a different TV 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:04.240 show going on and then somebody crussed up the feeds 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:06.280 and started showing in a baseball game and you're like, no, 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:11.440 that's somebody. Blake in Missouri joins us, Hi Blake, what's 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:15.760 on your mind? DP? How you doing? Hi Blake? Hey? Um, 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:17.680 you guys were talking about Ted Williams. I thought his 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:21.120 nickname was always the kid Um, going back to when 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:24.520 he flew planes with the late great John glenn Um. 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.800 But uh, I had three three rules kind of in 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.080 my family that'd be pertinent this weekend. Especially. Don't dive 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:34.120 into water you don't know the depth of take it 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.560 easy on the booze before dinner, and no mades and 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:40.280 wine bottles. Um, that's all. I got. M eighties, blank 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.880 you blake. That was a big deal. When I was 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:49.160 growing up, guys had M eighties. What you serious? Yeah? Yeah, 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:52.080 I was in Costco the other day. There's hundreds of 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:54.200 fireworks for sale everywhere. When I was a kid, you 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:57.200 had to like go to some strange place really far 0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.560 away to get them. Yeah, you had to meet somebody 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:02.640 behind someplace in the middle of the night and hand 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:06.280 over cash. And now now it's they got these tents 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:07.960 that are set up. People had to go to other 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.760 stage to get them, and now it seems a more 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:13.400 readily available with you. I'm a sparkler guy, and that's 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:16.040 about all I need. Yeah. I was fine with my 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:19.120 daughters just going out there a little sparkler. That's fine. 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:22.440 Just run around, run around a little sparkler and get 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:26.520 tired and time to go. Now night night. Yeah, there 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.600 you go. Hey, the Great fourth of July. All right, 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:34.040 we'll take a break. Duncan Robinson will join us. Scott Zolak, 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:37.000 the Patriots radio analysts a little later on his thoughts 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:41.160 on Cam Newton, and the executive director of the Baseball 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:45.040 Players Association, Tony Clark, will join us right after having 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:49.320 the commissioner on yesterday on the program. Just a coincidence, right, Tom? 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:52.800 You have to coincident? I don't think so. All right, 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:55.720 We're back after this eighteen after the hour.

Mercedes AMG driving performances. One of the great 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:41.720 stories in the NBA is Duncan Robinson born in Maine, 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:45.080 grew up in New Hampshire, played Division three basketball, then 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:48.360 went to Michigan, and all of a sudden you realize 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:50.919 he's one of the best shooters in the NBA and 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:54.440 all he does is shoot three. So I immediately love 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.600 Duncan Robinson, who joins us on the program the Miami 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:01.159 Heat forward Duncan, how are you. I'm doing well. I 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:04.359 appreciate you having me on. Okay, a couple of things. 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:10.160 Andre Igudalla, who was with Golden State, had the ultimate 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:13.320 compliment I think for you when well, not the ultimate, 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:15.080 because he thought, I think you were the ball boy 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:18.680 when he first got to Miami Heat. Is that right? Yeah? 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:21.240 I don't know if that's actually a legitimate quote. I 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:24.359 think that that was, you know, kind of someone made up. 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:28.080 Oh yeah, a little bit. Andre. Obviously you know Andre 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:29.960 now pretty close and he's been a great mentor to 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:32.639 me ever since he's been in Miami. But I'm not 0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:34.679 in that category yet in terms of you know, his 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:39.200 other teammates. Okay, but he did say that you were 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:42.840 the best shooter he's seen. Is that right? That's the quote? Now, 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:45.840 are you saying that that's not true either. I don't 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:48.920 know if that's entirely true. I don't think he said 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:52.760 that that verbatim. You know, He's definitely given me a 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:55.240 lot of confidence, but like I said, I don't think 0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:58.080 he thinks or or a personally at the point I 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:00.680 think I'm in that category just yet, Well, why the 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:02.680 hell am I having you on? If you weren't mistaken 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:05.000 for a ball boy and being called the best shooter 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:09.080 that under A Ugudala had has ever seen. I'm not sure. 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:13.000 I mean it could be true and that I'm relatively unassuming, 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:15.960 but you know, I kind of came on, I guess 0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:18.320 a little bit late there and towards the end of 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:20.879 the season, so I'm not sure. Okay, but you go 0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:25.400 Division three, then you go to Michigan and you end 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:27.240 up with a heat and I start looking at the 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:29.560 numbers and I go, this guy doesn't shoot any twos. 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:35.400 It's basically three or nothing. How did you become this 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:39.320 great three point shooter? And I do mean great, Um, 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:42.919 just a lot of repetitions, you know. I feel like 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:45.560 I've always kind of had an ability to shoot the ball. 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:48.520 I've definitely improved here in the last you know, three 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:50.679 to four years, I think Michigan helped me a lot 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:52.880 in terms of my player development, and then never since 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:56.000 I've been with Miami. They're really hardwired into my brain 0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:59.040 to really just to just shoot three and do what 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:01.120 I do well. And you know, for me, that's that's 0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:04.199 doing my job and being aggressive. What was your welcome 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:08.640 to the NBA moment, good or bad? I would probably 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:12.479 say this year we were playing the Lakers. Um. Uh, 0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:14.960 this this was early on in the year before I 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:17.280 had a little bit of a reputation and they put 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:20.680 Lebron on me basically just had him sit in the paint. Uh, 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:26.679 was basically relevant enough to work of a defender. Um, 0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:28.560 you know, because he's such a good help side defender 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:32.080 and um that that was probably a just that'surreal moment 0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:34.560 of being on the floor, but also you know, kind 0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:36.760 of being guard time as well. But the fact that 0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:40.840 you sort of weren't guarded by him either exactly. Yeah, 0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:46.200 I definitely was not a priority. But when did it change? 0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:49.920 Where did you start getting respect from defenses? Just kind 0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:53.160 of gradually over time. Um, as a year went on, 0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:55.840 my rule kind of started to shift. At first, I 0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:58.080 was coming off the bench and um just kind of 0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:01.040 being a spark and a floor space. And as the 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:02.640 year went on, I got put in more and more 0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:04.880 action and was asked to do a little bit more. 0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:07.560 So it was just gradually. I wouldn't necessarily cite one 0:21:07.640 --> 0:21:10.520 in particular moment where everything kind of changed. What about 0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:14.320 the three point shooting contest? Yeah, I mean that was 0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:17.000 in many ways. I mean I kind of laid an egg. 0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:19.280 I wish I could could have it back in terms 0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:22.240 of my performance that weekend. But how nervous were you? 0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:27.399 I was pretty It's just such an unnatural setting. You know, 0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:31.000 You're you're sitting there waiting for the contest to come, 0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:33.280 and you get about like a minute to warm up, 0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:34.480 and then all of a sudden you're just kind of 0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:37.720 thrown into the fire. So that was definitely a little 0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:39.560 bit of a way from me to gain a little 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:42.240 bit more notoriety and that, you know, I was kind 0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:44.800 of getting some recognition after that. Did you talk to 0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:47.159 any of those guys? Do you talk to it? Like, 0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:50.679 can you walk over to Steph Curry prior to a 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:53.840 game and just like great shooter to great shooter have 0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:57.480 a conversation or Clay Thompson I haven't. I haven't had 0:21:57.520 --> 0:21:59.720 that moment with either of those guys. Obviously, they missed 0:21:59.760 --> 0:22:02.720 a lot this year, so I haven't had that moment 0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:05.080 with either of those guys. I will say it's been 0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:07.560 pretty surreal. I've been able to kind of develop relationships 0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:10.159 with guys like JJ Reddick and Kyle Pover guys so 0:22:10.280 --> 0:22:13.440 I've always really looked up to who've done my job 0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:15.760 at the highest of levels. So it's been pretty cool 0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:17.280 to just kind of learn from them and pick their 0:22:17.280 --> 0:22:20.640 brains on different things. The heat worked out in Miami yesterday. 0:22:20.840 --> 0:22:23.560 You leave for Orlando here coming up in a few days. 0:22:23.560 --> 0:22:28.360 How nervous are you? It's it's a combination of kind 0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:31.479 of anxious and excited, you know, I think, first and foremost, 0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:33.240 I think we're all excited to get back to playing. 0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:36.200 Obviously there's a lot of uncertainty that's coming with the 0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:39.560 being in this bubble. It's unprecedented in a lot of ways, 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:42.400 But you know, we're also excited about just getting back 0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:44.399 out there and competing. Yeah, are you're going to be 0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:48.360
