WEBVTT - 01/14/21 DPS Hour 3 Charles Barkley and Nick Wright 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.440 Sports Radio Final Hour. In this Thursday Dan and the 0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:09.440 Dan Nets Dan Patrick Show check him with Charles Barkley. 0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:12.719 I don't know if his opinion has changed from November 0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:16.000 twenty fifth when we talked about the possibility of James 0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:20.279 Harden being successful if traded to the Nets. I think, 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:24.759 to quote Charles Barkley, hell no. So we'll talk to Charles. 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:28.120 Joining us here in a moment eight seven seven three 0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:30.920 d P show email ADDRESSDP at Dan Patrick dot com, 0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:33.920 Twitter handle a DPS show. The other big news aside 0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:37.480 from Harden changing teams going to Brooklyn is Urban Meyer 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:39.320 is said to become the next head coach of the 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:44.159 Jacksonville Jaguars. He's one of three coaches in college football 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:47.440 history to win at least eighty five percent of his 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:52.800 games Newt Rockney. Newt Rockney won eighty eight percent of 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:56.800 his games at Notre Dame, Frank Leahey won eighty six 0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:59.120 percent of his games at Boston College in Notre Dame, 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.760 and then Urban Meyer. He's been at four schools. He's 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:06.880 won eighty five percent of his games. Nick Saban In 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:09.440 case you're wondering seventy nine percent of his games, Dabo 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:13.679 Sweeney eighty percent of his games. Three coaches have won 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:18.200 both a college national championship and a Super Bowl, Jimmy Johnson, 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:23.960 Barry Switzer, and Pete Carroll. You can give Jimmy Johnson 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:28.120 a lot of credit for the Barry Switzer Super Bowl 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:29.959 that he won in Dallas, because Barry came in and 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:34.720 took over for Jimmy when Jimmy left, and then Pete Carroll. 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:38.320 So Urban Meyer, the question is what kind of GM 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.360 are you going to hire? And he's going to need 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:44.080 that experienced GM, not that he wouldn't hire an experienced him, 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.880 but you're gonna need somebody who knows the landscape here, 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.320 who's done this before. And I started to look at 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:56.000 the roster with Jacksonville. They've got some playmakers there. You know, 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.960 I think Robinson was a find at running back. McLevin. 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:02.080 Wouldn't you say? He's great? And I still have not 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:05.440 quite sure where he came from us? He an Illinois 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:09.359 state guy. Yeah. Yeah, they've got a couple of wide 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:16.440 receivers uh Lavishka DJ Chark. Yeah, but they've got them. 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:19.160 Don't they have Alan? Don't they have the pass Rusher, 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.960 but they want one game. I know. I'm just saying 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.919 it's not just Trevor Lawrence that he does have some 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:29.160 people there. Now they got rid of Jalen Ramsey and 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.200 Yannick and Goquay, but they have a lot of cap 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.560 room there. I'm just curious what Urban is walking into. 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.840 It's not just hey, you're gonna have Trevor Lawrence and 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.639 that's it. Are you gonna have any anybody else here? 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:45.560 And and it looks like they will, don't They have Robinson? 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:49.640 Cam Robinson? Is that the uh yeah, the tackle? So 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:51.960 you got your your left tackle there? So I don't know, 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.880 just take an inventory here in mclubin don't yell at me. 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:56.880 We had a conversation on this side of the glass. 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.320 What is it Urban Meyer quarterback? Because he seemed to 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.800 do really well when he had a Tebow or Braxon 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.960 Miller or JT. Barrett And I know he had Alex Smith, 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:08.840 but he didn't like really have like traditional NFL quarterbacks. 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.000 I mean, he had a few, but generally he did 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.880 well with the underdog a guy. I think Trevor is 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.440 a run pass option guy. Now that doesn't fit in 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:22.400 with JT. Barrett, but it's more than Dwayne Haskins, or 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.639 it's closer Alex Smith for example. Yeah, yeah, I could 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:30.280 see that. But you've got James Robinson, you got DJ Clark, 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:36.960 who else Cam Robinson, Josh Allen and Edge Rusher. So 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:39.560 you at least have something there, mclove and that's it. 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.520 Don't give me the scrunchy phase. Well, I don't know. 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.520 I mean, he's just those players. If you're a casual 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:47.640 out of Alfad, is there a single player there you've heard, Yeah, 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:49.040 you've heard of Josh Allen, but you think he's a 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.520 quarterback in Buffalo. Well yeah, but I'm not here to say, boy, 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:55.520 you should know who these players are. If you don't 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.080 know who these players are, then you probably will know 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:00.520 who these players are. They they played, Well, it's just 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:04.360 nobody watched Jacksonville like those players did stand out as 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:09.520 being respectful NFL players who could develop into something. Did 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:11.120 Jets have a few of them too? Right? The other 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:14.200 bad team, the Kaybeckton team to be exciting if they 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.560 don't have the number one pick? Does Urban Meyer take 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:20.360 this job? That's what I hope somebody asked later today 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:25.040 when they introduced Urban Meyer. Just say Urban how important 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:28.440 was having the number one overall pick better. Yet, I 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.479 would say, would you have taken this job, coach if 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:35.000 you didn't have the number one overall pick. He's going 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:36.920 to dodge it, but that's what I would do. And 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:39.800 it's a close ended question where it's either yes or no. 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.800 He's going to say yes and then he'll expound upon that. 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:48.000 But I don't think you take that job if you 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:51.520 don't have the number one overall pick. I just don't. 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:54.920 I think Trevor Lawrence is the reason why urban Meyer 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.640 has taken this job. Now there's other things that go 0:04:57.680 --> 0:04:59.320 with it. He's going to make ten million a year, 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:02.760 you know. I was saying the roster and they got 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:06.120 some pieces there not as much pressure. There's there's less 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:09.480 media coverage in Jacksonville than there was at Ohio State. Yeah, 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:13.040 speak loving byway side topic that might enter Charles two. 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.440 I'm meeting three articles a day saying nobody wants to 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:17.799 fill up the Eagles job because it's a bad spot 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.400 to be right now, you know, saying that that's a 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.560 job that coaches should not want. I've been telling you 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:26.240 the last couple of days. I know, and I think 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:28.920 people are listening to you and borrowing your ideas. Let 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:32.640 they bring in Charles Sparkling TNT inside the NBA analyst. 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:34.960 And last time I talked to you about this topic 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:38.279 with James Harden that was November twenty fifth, and you 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:42.599 didn't think it could work. Change your opinion, not at all. 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.600 I don't think it's gonna work. I think it's gonna 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.560 be I thought they bought him in because they wasn't 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:50.839 sure what was going to happen with Kyrie. It bought 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:55.040 him in after the insurance policy. And now I think 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:58.880 it's gonna be fascinating watching those three guys played together, 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.599 if they all played together. I mean, we have no 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:05.600 idea what's going on with Kyrie. But no, I don't 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:07.360 think it's gonna work at all because those other guys 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:12.440 don't bring in a diversity to the table. Those other 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:16.800 two guys, they are offensive players. They don't play defense, 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:20.960 they don't rebound, so there's only one basketball. I think 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.880 it's got zero chances are working. But you all show 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.719 and you know this where it feels like Katie could 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:30.039 get thirty on sixteen shots. You know he would find 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.279 a way get to the line and he can be economical. 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.720 The other guys are volume shooters, certainly harden Is, and 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.440 then I just wonder what kind of offense do you 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:42.599 run when you have three outphits like that. Well, I 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.760 think that's why I don't think it's gonna work. I 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:48.080 think it's really gonna be like they just gonna take turns, 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.960 and I don't think that's gonna work because, like I say, 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.760 other than Katie, the other two guys, they're not gonna 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:55.919 like when Katie went to Golden State, he's like, Okay, 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:59.080 I'll play defense, I'll rebound the ball. I don't see 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.159 Kyrie and James doing that. I think when Katy got 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.440 the ball, they're just gonna be standing around. And so 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:07.920 I don't think I can say, listen, I don't think 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.679 it's gonna work at all. It's gonna be fun watching 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:16.360 because how once in how James and Kyrie handled the 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:18.480 New York media, to me is gonna be like the 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:22.080 most fascinating part of this whole thing. But if if 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.320 we know this, the nets have to know this, then 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:27.640 how is this going to work? So what are they 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.240 thinking that? Why is this going to work? In their minds? 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.720 And we have, you know, a big question mark attached 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:35.320 to it well, because I think it's what Katy wanted 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.160 to do. I mean, Kady wanted Kyrie. Now I think 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.760 he realized it now, like, yeah, this is not going 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.080 to work. I better bring James in here as an 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:47.520 insurance policy. That's what I think happened. But clearly Kady 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:51.400 is running the organization, so I think this was about 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:55.120 what he wanted. What do you think Steve Nash is 0:07:55.160 --> 0:08:01.160 thinking today, I'm gonna get to blame this team. Don't work, 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:06.160 They're gonna kill me, like you know. And I really 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.800 think they put Steve in a really awkward position because 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.080 Steve Nash is a help obviously, was a great player, 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:14.160 and he's a great guy. But you got you got 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:17.480 one guy comes out and says, hey, we don't need 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:21.840 a coach, and now you bring in James, who clearly 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:26.000 shows up when he wants to. So I think it 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:29.760 really puts Steve between the rocket a hard place. I mean, 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:33.160 because listen, if they have to get rid of somebody, 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:38.040 it's gonna be Steve Nash, but it's not gonna be James, 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:44.080 James or k D. But you think I think Kyrie 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.720 is a wild card and this whole thing, to be honest, 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:49.160 with you. Yeah, that's what I was gonna bring up. 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.760 Do you think that they're ready to move on from Kyrie? 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.520 Because I don't know what everybody's kind of casual about 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:58.040 where Kyrie is and what he's doing. I don't know 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:01.400 if he wants to play, and he doesn't sound like 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:05.040 he's really that interested in coming back anytime soon. Well, 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:06.760 I think this is the reason they made the trade. 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.840 I think the Nets have last faith in Kyrie the like, 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:13.480 and I absolutely I think Kevin has law like no, 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:18.880 I better bring James in here, because listen, even without Kyrie, 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:25.400 James and Kad together it's pretty formidable. I mean, they're 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:31.240 gonna be just as good with the without Kyrie. So 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:35.000 I think Katie's like, yo, man, I can't trust this dude. 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:38.200 He shows up when he wants to. He's gonna do 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:43.520 his own thing. I've got to bring James in. Hey, Hey, listen, 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:46.600 let's be something something straight. This is probably the greatest 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:50.840 insurance policy we ever see in the NBA. How do 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:55.280 you feel if you're Ben Simmons today, Well, I think 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.719 he can relax now and realize that the Sixers this 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:03.360 is his team and Joel's team. We got no idea 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:07.440 who the best team in the Eastern Conference is. And 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.760 he's got to see being and Joel got to come 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:14.240 to the understanding that hey, you know what, we ran 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:16.960 our other coach out of town. He took he took 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:21.080 the sword sword for us. Now we got Doc. It's 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.560 time for us to start doing our job. We're in 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:27.320 our prime right now. So I think him and Joel 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:29.480 got to take a look in the mirror and said, hey, listen, 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:33.600 we let him blame Brett Brown, whether it was true 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.480 or not. We let them blame him. But now we 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:41.679 got Doc, We've got to get our stuff together. You 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:44.600 think Lebron and eight are concerned about what the Nets 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:51.560 just did, No, I mean they're still the best duo. Listen, 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:57.520 there's nobody right now. If you get any fool of 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:02.560 jackass on your show today, we're all guessing about the Nets. 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.840 Ain't nobody gonna get on here and tell you they 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.920 are the NBA favors right now. If they do that, 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:14.080 they don't know anything about basketball. I mean, we got 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.120 I got to be honest with you, Dan, I said this, 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.760 when you said this a few months ago. I would 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:22.520 love to be a fly on the wall because I 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:26.840 pray that they got James hardened, because I want to 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:31.559 see this social experiment and it's gonna be fun, it's 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:37.160 gonna be fascinating, and it's a New York City. Do 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:43.960 you think the commissioner likes this deal? No, I think 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:46.960 that he don't. First of all, Adam's amazing, but I 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:51.800 don't think he wants players running the league because because 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.439 because listen, let's get one thing. The commissioner all words 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:58.160 the works for the owners. So I don't think. I mean, 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:00.760 and there's only like three or four players who have 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:04.840 this type of power. But what they don't understand is 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:09.120 when you lose your superstars, you ruin franchises that used 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:11.440 to be a great you know, people say, well, some 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:13.920 of the teams won the championship. Yeah, but there were 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:18.080 still great players in other cities. And now we're making 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:22.840 so many cities irrelevance. And listen, let's I know one thing. 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:26.880 I cannot wait for the collective bargaining agreement. When these 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:30.880 owners slap these boys back. It's gonna be very fascinating 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.760 because everybody's like, well, the players got all this power, yeah, 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.800 but they don't have all that money. And the four 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:41.760 or five players who agreed they're gonna get all that. 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:45.479 They gonna get all their money, but these guys underneath, 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:50.360 they're gonna be hurt in a few years. What do 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:52.800 you think Lebron would be worth if there was new 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:58.480 salary camp. Well, I've always thought that was a stupid argument. 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:05.080 And everybody's making money. Listen, if we just gonna pay 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.800 the superstars, we'd only be paying like three, three or 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:10.720 four players, and everybody has been making a million dollars. 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:14.120 Let's say, hypothetically, Lebron with work six to seventy million, 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:18.360 and I'm gonna pay everybody else at least now we 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:23.679 got think about it, there's three guys on the nets 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:27.600 gonna be making forty million dollars, and probably only one 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:31.080 on the dessert to be making forty million dollars. And 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.280 think about it, there's a bunch of guys only the 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.679 Lakers who make six to ten to fifteen million dollars. 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:40.600 They only got to pay a d and Lebron. So 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:44.600 I hear guys talk about if there was no salary cap, 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.480 the salary cap work for the other players, not the 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.600 great players. And let's do act like the great players 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:54.040 aren't getting composated James Harden makes forty one million dollars 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:57.800 a year. He's good. Same thing with Katie and Kyrie, 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:01.080 they both make forty million a year. But if we 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:10.000 just gonna pay Listen, Anthony Davis, Lebron, K, d Steph, 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:13.840 those guys to probably deserve to be paid whatever they 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:15.679 can be paid, but then we wouldn't be able to 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.760 pay anybody else because you're not gonna You're not gonna 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:21.760 pay all the other guys thirty forty million dollar. You 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:26.520 only need those stars. John Wall makes forty million dollars 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:32.680 a year. That's my point, Dan, And John Wall is 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:34.920 a good player. John Wall was a good player. I 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:36.840 don't want to disparage it me. He's a good player. 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.400 But I hate these guys and I get on they 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:41.880 get on TV and said, well, if we had the 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:45.880 free market, well we can pay Lebron. But wait, okay, 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:49.760 if I'm gonna pay Lebron one hundred million, everybody else 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:54.280 on the team gonna make a million. What's the most 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:58.680 you ever made in your career? Five million dollars? It 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:03.240 felt pretty rich, didn't you? You know, Dan, I never 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:05.560 hate on these young guys for making money because I 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.720 made more money than Doctor Jay and Will Chamberlain and 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:11.720 they were and Bill Russell and they were clearly much 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:15.280 much better players than me. But hey, it's a it's a. 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.640 It is what it is. I wish all these guys 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.720 great success, and I hope they saved their money. That's 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:25.840 the most important thing. But you can't ever worry about 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:31.440 because because of inflation every generation. Well, I'll tell you 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.840 what's gonna be interesting when the COVID tax become due, 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:40.280 because not just in basketball, there's gonna be ramifications in 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:45.640 every sport because the COVID thing is real. And I 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:49.720 think in the next three or four years that COVID 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:53.160 tax is gonna come due, and it's probably gonna be 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.240 what you said earlier. They are like, hey, you're the 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:59.440 guys are bombs. I'm gonna pay Lebron, I'm gonna pay 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:03.000 a d the restue guys gonna take the minimum. And 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:05.080 I think not just in basketball, though, I think it's 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.440 gonna happen like that in every sport because these owners, 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:14.880 they didn't buy these teams to lose money. Happy New Year, 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.240 Good to see your Hey, Dan, it's good to see 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:21.840 you guys. Man. I hope everybody's safe and healthy. This 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:26.320 COVID thing. Man, that's been crazy, and you look good. 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:31.120 You look I'm getting in shape, Dan, I promise. That's 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:34.360 my new year's resolution, to get my fat. But I'm 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:37.280 tired of being fat. It doesn't look good, it doesn't 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:42.600 feel good. So that's my new year's resolution. I'm listening. 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.720 I'm tired of wearing all black clothes. I want to 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:48.720 work some. I want to wear some ladder colors this year. 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.160 That's my goal. I want to go up my other close. 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:58.480 It's not all black. What do you weigh now? Three thirty? 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:08.480 What's the most wade? Three fifty? What's shack way? Oh 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:10.520 he'd be if you get on the scale, it's gonna 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:12.680 be saying. It's gonna say one person at a time. 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:27.240 Oh god, it's shack shack four spins is what does 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:31.560 he weigh? Four hundred? Oh yeah, hell yeah, Oh my god, 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:34.040 hell yeah. But you know what to think about it? 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:37.960 That ain't fat. He's just the biggest human being I've 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:42.280 ever been around in my life. I mean, you know 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:44.760 you've been around that fact. Ain't never gonna be fat. 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:50.439 He just just he just humongous. How did you compete 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:53.159 with that? You're six to four and a half or whatever, 0:17:54.240 --> 0:18:00.040 and you competed with that man. It just listen and 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:03.080 Kevin mkall, H'm said as many times he was saying 0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:05.840 that the first time he saw Shaq, he was standing 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:09.000 beside Robert Parris. He says, yeah, it's about time for 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:12.520 us to fifth in to get out of the KEIVI 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:14.960 mcail tells that story all the time. He said, the 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:17.080 first time he saw Shakill him person, he says, he 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:20.600 was Robert Parris's chief. It's time for us to get 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:23.040 him look for another profession because these kids are too 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:27.640 big now. But you see Steve Nash be an MVP 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:32.160 with his size. It's Steph Curry like, that's what's amazing 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:35.159 to us when we see this and see how big 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:40.320 guys are fast, strong. Yeah but yeah, but listen, I 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:44.000 didn't play against Will Chamberlin. But other than should Kill 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:48.720 and I guess Will Chamberlin, those were the only two 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:53.160 guys who were bigger, stronger than everybody else. I mean, listen, 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:56.320 I played against guys who were seven feet tall, but 0:18:56.440 --> 0:19:00.720 they didn't have should Kill's athletic ability and things like that. 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:03.399 You know, Mark Eden was a hell of a player. 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:08.040 You know, I'm trying to think of my Tombo. But 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:10.959 those guys you the best, like night and day. When 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:13.359 you talk about athletic ability, Mark Eden was a hell 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:17.800 of a shot. Blockers sold them Tombo. But if those 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:20.200 guys were to get in a foot race or jump 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:23.240 in contest with Shack, it would be a no brainer. 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:26.640 I mean that guy. That guy was the most dominating, 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:31.240 physically imposing guy ever played against the scene in my life. 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:34.200 But like I said, when you played against another seven foot, 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:36.760 like when I played against mcale who was seven feet 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:40.400 or Parish, those guys were big, but they had they 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:45.240 didn't have the most amazing athletic ability. You know. Just 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:47.040 to see Shock out there. I remember when he was 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:49.359 in Orlando and he's like leading the fast break, you know, 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:52.040 he just he's so desperately wanted to be a point 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:54.600 guard at times and just be out there and running 0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:58.480 running the three on two break. Oh dude, I'm telling 0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:01.639 you to be to be that big and that fast, 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:07.760 it is just crazy, Dad, I mean it really was. Yeah. Uh, 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:09.639 it's great to talk to you so always. Thanks for 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:12.440 joining us and we hope to see you soon. Yes, 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:21.040 that's Charles bart TNT inside the NBA analyst got too 0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:24.480 many black clothes there. The Shack line is that's that's 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:29.320 a great line on one person at a time. Here 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:35.240 there are like Sean Bradley with seven six, so you 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:40.800 notice the height, but he weighed two twenty five. Mark 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:44.199 Eaton was Yeo, ming is is right. There is the 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:47.120 biggest guy I've ever seen. But Shack is just different. 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:51.440 There's just nothing, and you're not prepared for it because 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:54.240 you go, boy, Shack is big. And then when you 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:58.960 if you see the Grand Canyon and you see pictures 0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:02.320 and then you go to the Grand Canyon, that's like Shack. 0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:05.920 Where you go, man, Grand Canyon is big, and then 0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:08.479 all of a sudden you go, oh wow, the Grand 0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:12.040 Canyon is big. And then you see Shack see him 0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:14.520 on TV, Man, he's big, and then you see him 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:18.480 in person, you go, no, he's really big, all right. 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:21.919 Twenty two after the Hour, Nick Wright always has an 0:21:21.960 --> 0:21:24.840 opinion on Loan from First Things First on Fox Sports, 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:28.960 Hill Join is coming up here.

I don't know if 0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:41.240 this is the start of what's our offense going to 0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:44.800 look like if Ben doesn't come back and you have 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:49.040 a new offensive coordinator. So we'll take a break here 0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:53.840 twenty two after the hour Dan Patrick show, Built Barr 0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:56.919 should be arriving today.

That is quintessential Barkley there where I say 0:23:50.760 --> 0:23:53.359 to you know, how does Shackway four hundred pounds? He go, 0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:56.159 oh yeah, wait four?
