WEBVTT - 04/21/21 DPS Hour 2 Rebecca Lowe 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.240 Sports Radio. Welcome to the program. It's our two on 0:00:07.280 --> 0:00:10.479 this Wednesday, Dan and The Dane's Dan Patrick Show. There's 0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:12.760 a new tradition in the NBA, tuning in to watch 0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:15.880 a game between two elite teams and figuring out who's 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:19.360 actually on the court. Load management started a while ago, 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:24.119 but in part because of the pandemic and because you know, luck, 0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:27.600 I guess this season is especially erratic. You know, you 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:29.840 got big stars who've been in and out of the lineup, 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:32.600 and that makes predicting the playoffs harder than ever. And 0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:36.400 right now the Nets and Lakers are the Vegas favorites. Here. 0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:39.280 We don't know who's going to show up, when they're 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:41.199 going to show up, If they're going to show up, 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:42.800 how are they going to be when they get to 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:47.120 the postseason? Who knows what impact will sitting out a 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:49.879 couple of weeks. Half the league has to deal with 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:53.640 the reality that this regular season has a meaningless feel 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:56.240 to it. But that might be okay if everyone comes 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.000 back in time for the playoffs and the playoffs are great. 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:01.280 At least that's what the NBA is hoping for. Is 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:04.600 the postseason quickly approaches. I don't know if James Harden 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:08.600 plays the rest of this regular season. Kevin Durant has 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:11.600 been in and out of the lineup, Kyrie takes personal days. 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.559 Lebron James might not be back for a couple more weeks. 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:17.960 Anthony Davis might be coming back as early as tomorrow. 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:23.039 We're not quite sure. I'm guessing the stars are going 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:28.480 to be really rested here, but it feels like I'm 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:30.840 pleasantly surprised when I tune in and I actually see 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.839 one of the stars on the floor. But James Harden, 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:37.280 I guess he's back to square one with his hamstring injury. 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:39.360 And as much as we want to look at the 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.960 nets and go, yeah, but these aren't serious injuries. They're 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:45.880 they're just resting, they're getting ready for the playoffs. At 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:50.200 some point it is habit forming here. It might be 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:53.240 just a coincidence, might just be uh, you know what, 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.520 tweaked it, But that happens. But then after a while 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.040 you're going to start to wonder are the nets going 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.320 to be able to be when they get on the floor, 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:06.320 and what if something happens in the postseason that James 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:10.440 Harden truly is injured, or Kevin Durant is injured. Does 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.480 Kyrie take another personal day or two? You don't know. 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.600 There's so many question marks with the NBA, but it 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:22.079 has to do with the answers in the postseason. Can 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.440 the Bucks get out of the second round? Could they 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.600 play in the Eastern Conference Finals? What about the seventy 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:32.600 six ers? Can the Celtics with their two stars all 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:36.040 of a sudden emerge and be a formidable team again? 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:39.720 Where are the Miami Heat right now? You look at 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:43.320 the Utah Jazz, I don't care what they do during 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.480 the regular season. Nice story, But the answers are in 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.080 the postseason. The answers are in the postseason for Denver, 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.079 the answers in the postseason for Portland. The answers in 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.880 the postseason for the LA Clippers. That's where the answers 0:02:55.880 --> 0:03:00.360 are found. The regular season just doesn't mean anything a 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.560 little bit in the NFL because you can sort of 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.280 pick up on trends, but you know you can miss 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.680 the playoffs as well. These teams aren't missing the playoffs, 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.000 it's just where are they going to be? Are you 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.000 gonna be on the road to start and you're gonna 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.360 be on the road in this second round. That's all 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.840 that really matters right now. Getting healthy and then all right, 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.160 what's our seat. You know when you think about, hey, 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.520 we're gonna be we're gonna they're gonna have the home 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:25.720 court advantage. Okay, you just win one game at their 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.000 place and now you got it back in your favor. 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:32.880 So it's it's not an insurmountable hurdle here, But it's 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:37.920 all about the answers, and you find those in the postseason. Yeah, 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:39.880 that's why I'm wondering. I like Lebron James. I know 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:41.960 he's hurt. He's got a high ankle sprain, but I 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:43.520 wonder if that's one of those things that you know, 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:47.040 it's not something that's hopefully not recurring, like a hamstring 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:50.040 or whatever. He may be buying himself three or four 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.240 weeks of rest that he needs because you know, the 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.920 compacted seasons back to back and him and not like 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:56.680 the injury is a blessing. You don't want to injury. 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:58.280 But if he was healthy, he wouldn't be able to 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:02.040 sit two three nights in a row, which is would happened. Yeah, 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.160 I know that he wanted to play. I know that 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:08.360 he wanted to sort of say to the younger players, 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.240 you guys need load management. I don't, but with the 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.480 high ankle spraying, it's on something that he could play 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.719 through or should play through, and therefore you forfeit winning 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:21.039 an MVP. And I think that he dearly wants to 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.160 win one more regular season MVP, certainly wants to win 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.200 more titles, and this might be beneficial for the bigger 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:30.080 picture of winning another title here. But you start to 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:35.760 look at winning an MVP and the answers in the postseason, 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.560 the Greek freak if he won the If he won 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.440 the title last year, we would talk about the Greek 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:46.600 freak for MVP. This year we would. But it's a 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:50.440 regular season award and he didn't do anything in the postseason. 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:54.279 Therefore he's going to be punished the joker. The Joker 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.119 wins the MVP and they bow out in the second round, 0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:00.919 he won't win the MVP the following years, just won't. 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:05.120 The voters will look elsewhere. Joe lmbid, if he wins 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.720 the MVP, what are you going to do in the postseason? 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:09.920 If you don't get to the Eastern Eastern Conference finals, 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:13.960 He's not gonna win the MVP again. Anytime soon. To me, 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:19.320 Steph Curry is as as impactful as any player. If 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.320 they were one of the top four seeds right now 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.640 in the West, then he might be, you know, up 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:28.960 there with the Joker for MVP might be. But that's 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:31.160 just not going to happen. And I think those are 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:34.000 things to keep an eye on the regular season. MVP 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:37.040 better be great in the postseason or he's not going 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:40.839 to win the MVP again anytime soon. Yeah, what about 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:42.880 Luca don chick? How does he fit in this picture? 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:47.200 Is he so young that he'll get one eventually? They figured, well, 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.120 you got to do something in the playoffs, And while 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.200 he did, he had a big shot against the Clippers, 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:54.480 and I think he came in as the betting favorite. 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:56.159 And I said, Dallas is not going to be a 0:05:56.200 --> 0:06:00.520 formidable team. I mean, he's there the seventh seed right now. 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:05.400 And the novelty of Luca has worn off already. If 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:09.480 he has a triple double, you expect that out of him, 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:13.559 like you don't go if the Joker has a triple double. 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:15.440 It used to be it was a big deal. Where 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.680 you go, did you see the game that such and 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:21.280 such had? It gets rare when you stop and you go, 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:25.480 Steph Curry is one of the few because he's hitting 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.560 ten three pointers in a game, and that's not a 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.039 very good team right now. So you lose your number 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:34.400 one pick, you've already lost Clay Thompson, and you still 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:36.520 have your team in the playoff mix in the West, 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:42.320 he deserves recognition for something there, but maybe he finishes 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.440 third or fourth, but he should be in the MVP conversation. 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:48.719 But it feels like every week it's a different person 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:51.479 in the conversation, like somebody's in and then somebody's out. 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:53.640 I think it comes down to the Joker and Joe 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:57.560 wellmb those would be my two guys. Lebron's not in it, 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:01.039 Anthony Davis isn't in it, kawhis on in it, Greek 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:04.400 Freak's not going to be in it. Is Steph in there, 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:07.160 maybe just because of the novelty of he didn't play 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.120 the previous year and now he comes back and then 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.840 we go, oh, that's right, he's really good and that's 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:16.160 probably why he'll be involved in the conversation. Yeah, I 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.320 think Steff can get back in, you know, if they 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.320 can win a few games, get back in the playoff 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.600 pictures and embedded. He's ever been thirty one and a 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.320 half a game. You know, it's been five years since 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:26.920 he led the league in scoring. He's doing it again. 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.120 He's you know, shooting forty three percent from three, playing 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.040 thirty four minutes a game, which these days is quite 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:35.280 a bit. And you know everyone knows it's him. There's 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.200 no options on his team that he has to play with. 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:41.040 Coming up, Rebecca alone, we'll talk about the europe team. 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:45.240 European teams that bailed. The super League crumbles after five days. 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:51.720 Oh you know, I love owners with conviction there, like 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.400 they really thought this oun't think we're in it for 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.240 the long haul. We got to weather this storm here. Up, 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:00.840 we're closing up shop here, So we'll talk tour about 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:03.760 what went wrong and does that mean it's not going 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:07.119 to happen with other teams in the Premier League because 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:10.120 these are six teams. That doesn't mean, you know, the 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:14.040 teams in Spain or in Germany or Italy are not 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.440 going to still try to have a super League here. Yes, 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:20.400 seton the best part of super League is that I 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:23.560 think there's still two teams in. I don't know that 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.040 Barcelona and Real Madrid have pulled out officially yet, So 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:28.440 you're guaranteed to be in the finals. Now, those two teams, 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:29.880 they're guaranteed to be in the find right. If you're 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:33.040 wondering what the schedule is, Yeah, it's Barcelona at Real 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:36.960 Madrid and Real Madrid at Barcelona home and away. Yeah, 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:42.040 you're guaranteed to get all the money. I'd stick allion apiece. 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.640 Let's go eight seven seven three D P show email 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.160 address dp A dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handled at 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:50.720 DP show. Albert Brewer sent out this tweet. NFL teams 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:56.960 didn't get athletic testing numbers from Indianapolis Medical Combine earlier 0:08:57.040 --> 0:09:01.360 this month, but they did get the measurements, and they 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:06.120 got Alabama wide receiver Davante Smith's measurements. He got him 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:11.000 on a scale. He checked in at six feet, one 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:17.800 hundred and sixty six pounds. That's thin. And it goes 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:20.480 back to my comp and that's Anthony Carter, who used 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:24.840 to play at Michigan, played in the USFL, also ended 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.480 up playing with the Vikings in the NFL. I don't 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:31.520 know how big Anthony Carter was, but I'm gonna guess 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:36.080 he didn't weigh one eighty or less. Yeah, Poling, he 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:40.800 was listed his last year at Michigan five eleven, one eighty. Yeah, 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:42.960 he wasn't one eighty. He was thin, so he was 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:48.000 shorter than DeVante Smith and probably weighs maybe five to 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:51.000 seven pounds more. Anthony Carter was great, and that was 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.800 back when you could be physical with a wide receiver. Yes, 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.160 mcle that sounds like you in high school, the way 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.480 you described your body. What did you weigh? Well, I 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.079 was in Wonderland. My body was under land. I was 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:04.680 six four one forty five or something. By that tenth grade, 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:08.400 I was a bean bull. I was six three eight. Yeah, 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:11.959 come get some yeah soon. Don't you get the sense though, 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:15.080 that once DeVante Smith gets on that NFL training regiment, 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:18.920 he's gonna bulk up pretty quickly. I don't know. Wouldn't 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:21.880 he have done that the past couple of years he's 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:25.000 planning for an NFL team in Alabama. I think the 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:31.240 training table would probably be about to say, yessing, guessing? Yes, 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:33.720 point we were discussing that we were watching that kid? 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.920 Is it Chet Holmgren, the new recruit for Gonzaca. Was 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:38.720 there ever a point in your life where people were 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:41.199 begging you to put on weight? Hey? Eat more? Eat 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.120 more bacon, cheese, because I know you gotta eat well, 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:45.200 But the point in life where you had to put 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.480 on weight that rarely do people have that or they're 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:51.840 encouraged to. I don't think I was encouraged because but 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.280 you probably wanted to for basketball. I didn't think of it. 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.360 I never thought of it. It's not like I could 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:00.480 go I'm gonna eat more. Like we only had so 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.920 much food to go around with six kids. I couldn't 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.200 go to my mom, Hey, I got a chance to 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:07.800 be a decent basketball player. Can I eat more than 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:11.480 my brothers? Like that? That wouldn't have gone over well. Yeah. See, 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:14.280 to be fair that Michael Jordan had invented lifting weights yet, 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:16.880 so it wasn't really a thing, not just in basketball. 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.520 Remember when he brought that to athletics, was being in 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:24.000 shape and lifting weights. Speaking of Michael Jordan, you got 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:29.599 the Zion Williamson signature shoe with the Jordan brand that debuts. 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.240 I think it's like one hundred and twenty five dollars. 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:38.840 The shoes sell for one twenty Prepare all right, we're 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.920 going to review the shoe. And it used to be 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.240 where you go, Yeah, but this is for the kids. 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:48.920 It feels like now in this market, collecting shoes is 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:52.200 big business. This isn't about a thirteen year old who says, Mom, 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:55.120 I want you know Zion shoes. This is a twenty 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.800 seven year old who's probably on his second job making 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.480 a little bit of coin, and he gets the shoes, 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.439 keeps them in the box, or you keep the box, 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:05.960 but you put the shoes out on display like their artwork. 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:08.800 There are times when I'll be in New York City 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:13.440 and I'll see like it's a random store, it looks like, 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:17.960 and there'll be like twenty five people outside and it's 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:22.080 like ten to fifty five in the morning, and I 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:25.920 always wonder, like, what are they selling in there? And 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:33.200 almost always it's somebody is selling a shoe limited limited edition. 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.439 And people will get word of this. They wait outside, 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:38.240 they go in, they buy their shoes. They don't wear 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:43.600 the shoes, they just keep those shoes. Yes, ton, is 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:45.480 it an all misleading when it says the shoes will 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:47.760 be available on this Friday, April twenty third, featuring a 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.920 Z on the lateral side to harness power in the 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.600 heel and help with speed in the four foot Just 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:55.840 the Z alone on the side of the shoe will 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:57.960 make you all of a sudden do those things. Well, 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:01.920 remember with Reebok, you pumped him up, Dee Brown pumped 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:05.640 him up. I never I never bought a pair of those, 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:09.040 but I thought, damn, what a great invention. That was, 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:12.080 like the most revolutionary thing I had ever seen. And 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:13.920 then they had the tennis ones and the pump looked 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:18.080 like a little tennis ball. You're like, this is amazing. Yeah, yeah, yes, 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:20.360 Chris Rocket a same life skin on that where it 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:22.440 was pumping up a turkey. It was just pressing at 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:24.439 the side of the turkey would just become this huge, 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:27.480 fabily dinner. Did you guys own rebox? Were you pumped 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:32.640 him up? Yeah? I didn't. I think I was Converse 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:36.960 high Top, Chuck Taylors, variety of colors. They were nine 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:40.719 ninety nine at Ben's department store downtown Cincinnati. But I 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:43.880 think that they were probably rejects so you got them 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:46.440 because you know, maybe they spelled Converse wrong or the 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.640 color was wrong something. But I remember ten dollars you'd 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:53.200 get a pair of shoes, and then I graduated from 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:57.960 that right to the Adida's Superstar, which I still thinks 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:01.720 the best looking shoe ever made, and that used to 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.920 be the shoe of preference in the NBA. I remember 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:08.320 when the Lakers came to town and I would go 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.280 early at the Cincinnati Gardens and I'd watch the Lakers 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:14.160 when they're warming up, and I'd just be looking at 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:17.800 their shoes. Jerry West had the Adidas Superstars with the 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:22.000 Laker gold on the stripes, and he didn't have the shelter. 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:25.080 They had the leather toe there, and I thought, man, 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:27.400 those things looked so good. One of these days I'm 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:29.600 going to be able to afford those shoes, and then 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:33.760 eventually I could, and I still think best shoe over me, Yeppo. 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.880 Just before Jordan entered the league, there was a Converse 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:40.200 weapon shoe and it was Laker colors and Celtics colors. 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:42.480 It was a bird and Magic back to back and 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:44.360 it was both a poster and an ad in Sports 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:46.720 Illustrated and that was really hot at the time. And 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.080 then when Jordan came in, he just took took charge. Yeah, 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:53.480 but those were clunky shoes, very much big thick ankle protector. Yeah, 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.880 they were heavy shoes. Yes See. The first real pair 0:14:56.920 --> 0:15:01.000 of sneakers that I bought were basketball. I was like 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:04.440 twelve or thirteen maybe, and it was the Jordan Grapes, 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:08.200 the ones uh there. They were like a white sneaker 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:11.200 with sort of like green and purple or like green 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.600 and blue on the side. That now if you have 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:16.120 them now you could sell them for a couple hundred dollars. 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:19.200 But those are the first pair of real basketball sneakers 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:21.880 that I bought. Well, you go to that store, what 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:25.120 is it, flight Club in New York City and you 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:27.480 go in there and you see these shoes like they 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:30.880 have them under lock and key, and they have shoes 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:35.720 in there that go for fifteen twenty thousand dollars tennis shoes. Yeah, Ton, 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:37.480 it's a shame you can't promote the store because you 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.440 know what they say, first ruled doctor flight Club. Okay, 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:43.840 I got thank you, John. How do you get any 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.920 publicity if you can't talk about flight cluer anyway? Yeah? Yes, yes, yes, 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:49.840 I love that. You know, Kawhi letter to so quiet 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:52.480 and not talkative and he signs a sneaker deal with 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:55.120 New Balance. I mean New Balance is cool for like 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:58.720 a fifty year old dad who's mowing the grass and hey, yeah, 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:03.760 but new ballots for quilted. Well, Steph Curry signs with 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.480 under Armor, and you think they're gonna be hip shoes, 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:09.360 and they look like, you know, a nurse who's doing 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:12.160 a bed check and you know, in a hospital. And 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:15.680 I thought, how did somebody look at those and go, yep, 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:19.400 that's the shoe I want. And then I saw him 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:21.280 the other night he had two different colored shoes on. 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:26.920 I'm like, I get that. You know, if you had 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:28.800 a teammate and you wore the same size and you 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:31.080 could you could switch it out, you know, and I 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:33.080 got the left, you got the right of that one, 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:37.400 and then we'll switch it up. But that first, you know, 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:40.640 incarnation of the under Armor Steph Curry shoe. That was 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.720 not good. I don't know who that was for, but 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:50.320 it wasn't for mallwalkers. For my mom. I think, you know, Danny, 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:52.640 I'd like to get those Steph Curry shoes. I think 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:56.560 they're pretty fly. Okay, Mom, I'll get those for you. Yeah, 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:59.880 nobody's marketing basketball sneakers to the nurses of the world. 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.920 They're not. That's where you think about frontline workers deserve 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:09.960 that they deserve comfort. There Aaron in Ohio, Hi. Aaron 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:16.240 what's on your mind today? Hey, dp zadunasilgoscis the same day, 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:21.480 same month, not the same year. Suck it, Carl, And 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:24.160 I want to pivot to my point, which is, how 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:28.600 is Chris Paul not getting any love for MDP? You know, 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:31.600 I know his numbers fifteen points a game, but he's 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:34.000 changed an entire team culture and they're moved the top 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:36.399 of the West. I can't believe he's not even getting 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:39.560 talked about. Yeah, but I think it's we haven't bought 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.040 into the Phoenix Suns, thank you, Aaron. I think they're 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:45.119 just a curiosity. Even though they were great in the bubble, 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:47.119 they want all of their games in the bubble. And 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:50.359 Chris Paul has done a great job. And that's the 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:53.199 kind of player you want when you get into the postseason. 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:56.119 You got a young team. The moment's not going to 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:58.480 be too big for him, and I think that's the value. 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:00.560 That's where you're going to find it with Chris Paul. 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:03.800 Can they win a game when it's in the final 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:06.679 seconds there, Can they get a stop? Can they you know, 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:08.879 design a play? Those are the things that are going 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:11.959 to be really important. But you just have Kurt, you know, 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:14.919 curiosities here in the regular season, that's all it is. 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:21.240 Lucas a curiosity. Uh, Paul George is a like Paul George. 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:23.159 I don't care what he does during the regular season. 0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:27.119 It doesn't matter what's he gonna do in the postseason 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:29.320 game on the line? What are you gonna do? Hit 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:32.679 the side of the backboard? Because you can put up 0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:35.359 all these great numbers, which it feels like everybody in 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:37.480 the NBA's putting up great numbers. Now, what do you 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:41.680 do when you have to do it? Yes time, it's 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:44.360 a it's a good point you're making there. Iverybally didn't 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:46.280 have anything to add at that point. Paul's very good, 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:48.000 by the way. You know, if you call it him 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:50.000 and he hasn't raised his hand, and he's always got 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:53.199 something feel And I almost never do. Did I lean 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:56.440 it to the microphone? You lean it and then when 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:58.520 I don't call on you, then you get very upset. 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:01.960 I did the double triple pump, which you don't like. 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:05.480 I just I try to be fair. I try to 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:08.440 be very judicious when it comes to spreading the well. 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:10.480 I got a left field that puts the show to 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:12.959 a halt. Or ask answer, Ask a question, even though 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:16.200 you've taught me not to do that. It's so good 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:19.520 when you have nothing to say. I mean, you normally 0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:22.800 don't about How about the snug sunset? I know? And 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:24.879 you can get that shirt on the website.
