Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Sonny Vacaro has a book. It's called Legends and Souls,
Speaker 2: the memoir of an American Original. It's just been released
Speaker 2: available online wherever books are sold. A little background here
Speaker 2: on Sonny. I think I met Sonny in nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 2: I covered his basketball camp when it was in New
Speaker 2: Jersey and it was also part of a TV show
Speaker 2: at CNN with Sonny. We did a college basketball show
Speaker 2: and he was a great resource for me over the years.
Speaker 2: Whenever I needed something set straight, or there was a
Speaker 2: rumor about a coaching change, somebody getting hired fired, I
Speaker 2: always went to Sonny, and Sonny would always if he
Speaker 2: knew something, then he would tell me he'd set me straight.
Speaker 2: And we've stayed in touch for whatever forty years now,
Speaker 2: and so I knew the story about when he was
Speaker 2: getting Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan was Mike Jordan at North
Speaker 2: Carolina and hit the shot that won the national title
Speaker 2: against Georgetown. Now Sonny's job, Sonny was trying to grow Nike.
Speaker 2: Nike was a running shoe company, and Sonny went all in.
Speaker 2: Bob Knight saw Michael Jordan and said that guy's going
Speaker 2: to be the greatest basketball player of all time. And
Speaker 2: you had Adidas and Converse, who were the big shoe
Speaker 2: companies at the time. Adidas big shoe company, and Converse
Speaker 2: had been established for quite some time prior to that.
Speaker 2: But Sonny realized that they had a budget and he
Speaker 2: was saying, use the entire budget on Michael Jordan. So
Speaker 2: he goes to Phil Knight, the CEO of Nike, and says,
Speaker 2: put all the money here on that guy. I'm betting
Speaker 2: on that guy. Well, Sonny's had a lot of different
Speaker 2: lives in this business. He got fired by Nike, he
Speaker 2: went to Adidas a signed Kobe to his first shoe deal.
Speaker 2: Sonny was, you know, friends with Kobe's dad, Joe, who
Speaker 2: played in Italy. And then he went to UH. He
Speaker 2: was trying to get Lebron. He thought he had Lebron.
Speaker 2: And there's a great chapter in the book where they're
Speaker 2: meeting in Malibu and he thinks he's going to sign
Speaker 2: Lebron James to his first deal and Sonny tells Lebron's
Speaker 2: mother it's going to be one hundred million dollar deal.
Speaker 2: It's going to be a ten year, one hundred million
Speaker 2: dollar deal. She starts crying like this is and then
Speaker 2: they go into the meeting. Sonny thinks he has one
Speaker 2: hundred million dollars to play with with Lebron James, and
Speaker 2: all of a sudden realizes that Adidas is giving a
Speaker 2: certainly a lot less than that with some incentives in there,
Speaker 2: and you know, and Sonny even said, you know, go
Speaker 2: go to Nike. I can't help you here, Go get
Speaker 2: the better deal. And he's also the guy who helped
Speaker 2: bring about name, image and likeness for athletes the Ed
Speaker 2: O'Bannon case, and Sonny was very integral in years trying
Speaker 2: to get that case heard against the NCAA so players
Speaker 2: could get paid. It's been a long, long career, crazy career.
Speaker 2: Sonny Vaccaro joins us on the program. Sonny, congratulations on
Speaker 2: the book. Really well done.
Speaker 3: It's been something I wanted to do all my life
Speaker 3: and postponed it because my life kept I was doing
Speaker 3: something else. And then after Obannon, that really gave me
Speaker 3: the impetus how much more could I do? And I
Speaker 3: want to say, but I'm proud of it. I'm not
Speaker 3: afraid of it, Dan, not afraid of it. All everything
Speaker 3: we said in there, I can back up with facts
Speaker 3: and not fiction.
Speaker 2: What's the story you say for the book?
Speaker 3: I think the ending of my relig ship with Michael
Speaker 3: is much more powerful than the beginning, because the ending
Speaker 3: shows we just come back from Europe on a ten
Speaker 3: day you know, travel trip, you know, publicizing Michael, you
Speaker 3: know Pamlauer, you know you saw the pictures and everything.
Speaker 3: We come home. They asked me to do one more
Speaker 3: thing for the signing with Michael, you know, the autographs
Speaker 3: for the NBA and all that with Miji Johnson, that
Speaker 3: I go in for that meeting, and then three days later,
Speaker 3: after all that, that last you know, month of my
Speaker 3: life with Nike, I get betrayed. I think that had
Speaker 3: to be told. There was never told before. They didn't know,
Speaker 3: you know, they didn't know that the story was already
Speaker 3: written for me, even when I went to Europe, even
Speaker 3: when I did the last most important things that I
Speaker 3: could have done with Jordan.
Speaker 2: Here's where I'm confused, Sonny. Phil Knight, CEO of Nike,
Speaker 2: comes off really petty in the book, and it feels
Speaker 2: like Michael Jordan turned us back on what was real,
Speaker 2: the real story, and you signing him. But you do
Speaker 2: say in the book that Michael said he doesn't have
Speaker 2: a problem with you, but he still could have spoken
Speaker 2: up and told the truth. How much does it hurt
Speaker 2: with what feels like Phil Knight was trying to rewrite
Speaker 2: history here.
Speaker 3: I knew what was going to happen when he stoked
Speaker 3: his memoir in nineteen eighty seven when he still has
Speaker 3: he's still living. That was a long time ago, and
Speaker 3: he stopped where I got really involved with Michael. For
Speaker 3: all the things you'll read in a book that hurt,
Speaker 3: the lives that were perpetrated, you know by you know,
Speaker 3: you know Michael had no reason to do this except
Speaker 3: he had once I was let go. I mean, Michael
Speaker 3: and I were closer than I am to anyone in
Speaker 3: that world. You know that the world would know that
Speaker 3: all the athletes I've been around and including Kobe and whatever,
Speaker 3: we were actually together for seven years traveling the world.
Speaker 3: When you read the book, you know the opening things
Speaker 3: Michael hurt me because he didn't have to do it.
Speaker 3: And when you read when the chapter where he almost left,
Speaker 3: he almost left. So it was that close that I
Speaker 3: was still involved with Michael. That hurt Raveling's just a
Speaker 3: bad human being who was my my biggest you know,
Speaker 3: hurt in the world because it was so personal. You know,
Speaker 3: it was personal, and it turned out his life continued.
Speaker 3: You know, I am able to say what I said
Speaker 3: about him, you know, in a special chapter because he
Speaker 3: was deceitful. He didn't hurt Sonny Vako. He hurt the
Speaker 3: world that he lived in as far as dealing with
Speaker 3: athletes and being honest and being portrayed in other situations
Speaker 3: as being an honest person. Those three guys all had
Speaker 3: a different hurt. But Michael always had this affinity for
Speaker 3: because other than you know, Levant Knight, obviously Levant Nike,
Speaker 3: you know, Nike was just a part of me and Michael.
Speaker 3: There were personal things in there that that you know,
Speaker 3: that airplane ride where he played gin for ten hours.
Speaker 3: I had many I had. I arranged his birthday party
Speaker 3: in Las Vegas. I opened up the gates for him
Speaker 3: in Las Vegas, you know, because he liked the golf
Speaker 3: and you know, do whatever else he did. But that
Speaker 3: was personal. That one was still personal. I don't have
Speaker 3: the same you know, feelings for Michael that I do
Speaker 3: for Raveling and Night, that's for sure. I still you know,
Speaker 3: he he did great things. It's a shame that he
Speaker 3: forgot where he started.
Speaker 2: Yeah, George Traveling was best man at your wedding and
Speaker 2: a friend for a long time former college coach, and
Speaker 2: went to work for Nike. Uh after you were let go.
Speaker 2: So uh and you wait till the very end of
Speaker 2: the book, and even there's some trepidation where you're even
Speaker 2: going to write about George Raveling in your relationship ship.
Speaker 2: But let me go back to Michael Jordan. We're talking
Speaker 2: to Sonny that Carol. The book is Legends and Souls,
Speaker 2: the memoir of an American original, available wherever books are sold.
Speaker 2: What happens to Nike if Michael doesn't sign with Nike?
Speaker 3: Jame set match over. I honestly believe there's no reason
Speaker 3: to be other than pretend that Mike the Nike would
Speaker 3: have been successful. There was nothing on the agenda that
Speaker 3: was successful. We were the this was the last roll
Speaker 3: of the dice man. This was they were going all
Speaker 3: in and they didn't know it.
Speaker 2: But Adidas would they What would mikey Michael have done
Speaker 2: to Adidas?
Speaker 3: I don't think it ever would have happened the way
Speaker 3: it happened. He still would have been Michael, but he's
Speaker 3: still with the other guys, he'd have been camouflaged by them.
Speaker 3: He never would have gotten this opportunity. They're signing with
Speaker 3: Nike and then us promoting him, and then we were
Speaker 3: the only show for him. Otherwise all the all the
Speaker 3: things from Nike went right to Jordan. It wouldn't have
Speaker 3: happened or the Das. They had great players, and so
Speaker 3: did conference to defend them in some way. They were
Speaker 3: stupid now, but they weren't that stupid in nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 3: It was a business decision. No one, including Sonny, I
Speaker 3: just knew he was the only one to bet the
Speaker 3: money on. The other guys weren't worth it for whatever reason.
Speaker 3: You know, I go into that. I just I don't
Speaker 3: think and I'll look foolish baby to your audience. And
Speaker 3: this isn't the grief. I mean, it's just fact. If
Speaker 3: you look at the books, you'll see that there was
Speaker 3: no money left, that's all. What the hell are they
Speaker 3: going to do?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I wonder what it would have done to the global
Speaker 2: shoe industry as well.
Speaker 3: Well. That's the best question I think we're to saw
Speaker 3: because none of the signings after that by the athletes,
Speaker 3: you know, getting right, the seth Curry to where we
Speaker 3: are today and all the girls now getting that. It
Speaker 3: would have taken time because no one was betting on
Speaker 3: one person. There was no person that crossed over that line,
Speaker 3: not the financial line, the black, the white line, the
Speaker 3: media line. We found a hero that was unbelievable. Then
Speaker 3: the commercials were perfect. I doubt if anybody else Spike
Speaker 3: Lee doesn't generate towards Michael the other guys like he
Speaker 3: would have. He did Michael Jordan's All the things happened
Speaker 3: like right in a sequence, like it was a story
Speaker 3: already written, and it's at so fail Parks. None of these,
Speaker 3: none of these other companies would have done it. I mean,
Speaker 3: I don't believe.
Speaker 2: Did you know that Nike Michael was going to get
Speaker 2: fined when he wore the black and red shoes and
Speaker 2: he was told that he couldn't. I knew that was
Speaker 2: a marketing ployee by Nike.
Speaker 3: No, yeah, I knew it, you know, as quickly as anyway.
Speaker 3: Except Rob and Peter. They they've told me everything about it.
Speaker 3: And I was erwin. You know, Rob said we'll pay
Speaker 3: the fines. Yeah, that was that was a kick him in.
Speaker 3: He asked thing by Rob Strausser. They said, all right,
Speaker 3: we'll pay the dang thing, you know, the five thousand
Speaker 3: whatever it was, and that to him and his personality said,
Speaker 3: we're not stopping, We're going all in. That's we did
Speaker 3: that all in thing a few times that you didn't
Speaker 3: see the movie and where you know Rob and Peter,
Speaker 3: you know where the brains behind this was. I was
Speaker 3: the glue maybe whatever.
Speaker 2: Did you have the same feeling about Lebron that you
Speaker 2: did Michael when you first saw him.
Speaker 3: No, it was a whole different. I saw Lebron three
Speaker 3: years earlier than Michael. I knew him as a fifteen
Speaker 3: year old. I watched him when I traveled to San
Speaker 3: Francisco to see him personally when he invited. I was
Speaker 3: in his house as a youngster, not as a grown
Speaker 3: man in his twenties. So no, Lebron, Lebron and Kobe
Speaker 3: were totally different than you know, my approach.
Speaker 2: I knew them.
Speaker 3: Kobe's going back to his pairent, Lebron going back to
Speaker 3: the origins. So I knew these two kids were pretty good.
Speaker 3: And mcgrady's the only other one that I had a
Speaker 3: sense of feeling, you know, because now the kids are seventeen,
Speaker 3: eighteen and nineteen. I've got to make a decision. Michael
Speaker 3: was still twenty two, you know, he was an older
Speaker 3: guy and played in the National Championship, so he was
Speaker 3: a known commodity. These kids weren't.
Speaker 2: We're talking to Sonny Vacera. The new book, Legends and Souls,
Speaker 2: available wherever you buy your books. And I want people
Speaker 2: to understand this. I've known you for a long time,
Speaker 2: over forty years. Your best accomplishment is marrying Pam. But
Speaker 2: after that, you signed Michael, you signed Kobe, you nearly
Speaker 2: signed Lebron. But then what you did with Ed O'Bannon
Speaker 2: and taking on the NCAA is really your legacy and
Speaker 2: should be your legacy because you paved the way with
Speaker 2: the help of Ed O'Bannon, former UCLA great to allow
Speaker 2: players to get paid. You help usher in name, image
Speaker 2: and likeness, and not without a long fight. Then you
Speaker 2: should be commended that you went to bat for him
Speaker 2: and that ed Ed trusted you that you would represent
Speaker 2: him correctly. So that is a there's a lot of
Speaker 2: time devoted in the book, and rightfully so, because that
Speaker 2: is a landmark decision on your part, and because of that,
Speaker 2: I don't I know you. I've known you a long
Speaker 2: long time. You should be in the Basketball Hall of
Speaker 2: Fame as a contributor. You should be.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and should never did anything. What am I going
Speaker 3: to tell you? I can't control.
Speaker 2: Okay, I would. I would love to. I'd like to
Speaker 2: go to work on it. I'd like to be able
Speaker 2: to just tell the I'd like to remind people of
Speaker 2: contributions to the game, global impact. Coaches, coaches got paid,
Speaker 2: players are now getting paid, high school kids, high school
Speaker 2: coaches like all of that. This is when Michael Jordan
Speaker 2: should step up, and I'm being serious and write a
Speaker 2: letter to the Basketball Hall of Fame saying that you
Speaker 2: should be in there.
Speaker 3: I appreciate what you're saying and what other people have said.
Speaker 3: You know, it's hard for the person you're talking about
Speaker 3: the situation.
Speaker 2: You're humble, you don't have to say anything, but I'll
Speaker 2: leave it at that. I hope that there's some representation
Speaker 2: who can help you get in. Good to talk to you.
Speaker 2: Congrats some on the book.
Speaker 3: Thank you sir, Thank you very much, and God bless
Speaker 3: you in the family. And I hope we have dinner
Speaker 3: and a good Italian dinner in New York.
Speaker 2: Sonny Vicaro Legends and Souls, the memoir of an American original.
Speaker 2: It's just released inovailable online wherever books are sold. Imagine
Speaker 2: all of these coaches and players if they got together
Speaker 2: and signed a petition what he meant for them, change lives.
Speaker 2: I mean, Michael alone wrote a letter and just said
Speaker 2: Sonny should be in the Basketball Basketball Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2: Contributions to the game. He changed college basketball, he changed Nike,
Speaker 2: he changed the shoe business. Now you might say, you know,
Speaker 2: it's the CD underworld, and you know all of that
Speaker 2: I've heard from people. Look, I love the man. I've
Speaker 2: known him for forty years and his wife Pam. So
Speaker 2: when you think about contributions to the game, to the
Speaker 2: game of basketball, his name is front and center. It
Speaker 2: really is. All right. We'll take a break. Some phone

Speaker 2: for you Danpatrick dot com. Limited quantity stat of the
Speaker 2: Day is always brought to you by Panini America Trading
Speaker 2: cards to The Dan Patrick Show. Steph Curry last night
Speaker 2: fifty six points. He had twelve three pointers. He has
Speaker 2: made an NBA best twenty six career games with ten
Speaker 2: or more three pointers. That's more than the next five
Speaker 2: players combined. So that's Klay Thompson, Dame Lillard, James Harden,
Speaker 2: Zach Levine, and j R. Smith. Stat of the day,
Speaker 2: stat of the day, that beast stat of the day.
Speaker 2: Stat of the day here comes that what stat of
Speaker 2: the day? Steph also single handedly outscored the Magic in
Speaker 2: the third quarter twenty two to twenty one. This was
Speaker 2: an oh, by the way game, and I was actually
Speaker 2: watching this then I realized Steph was on a heater.
Speaker 2: Zion Williamson went twenty seven, ten and eleven, first career
Speaker 2: triple double. They beat the Suns, And I'm looking at
Speaker 2: the numbers here. He's having a good month. Sixteen games
Speaker 2: since January first, he's averaging twenty five a game, he's
Speaker 2: averaging seven rebounds in five assists, and he's shooting sixty
Speaker 2: percent from the floor. Yeah, if you could only give
Speaker 2: me that on a consistent basis. Can you give me
Speaker 2: seventy games a year where you're putting up those kind
Speaker 2: of numbers? The problem is can't stay healthy. But sixteen
Speaker 2: games since January first, you know there are a lot
Speaker 2: of storylines. The problem is, you know, the Detroit Pistons
Speaker 2: aren't going to get clicks, but they played really well
Speaker 2: and that's a big win. They beat the Boston Celtics.
Speaker 2: Now you got Denver coming into town tonight. I believe
Speaker 2: you know, the Lakers are going to take the oxygen
Speaker 2: out of the room, and I understand that. But there
Speaker 2: are some good basketball being There is good basketball being played,
Speaker 2: and it's probably in places where you're not used to looking.
Speaker 2: And you know, I want Detroit to get credit. They're
Speaker 2: a playoff team right now. Houston. Houston is a dangerous
Speaker 2: team as well. You know, we tend to focus we
Speaker 2: play the hits. I understand that sometimes you have to
Speaker 2: go a deeper cut on the album if you are
Speaker 2: aware what albums are. Yes, Marvin, and.
Speaker 6: Don't forget Memphis is the two seed in the West.
Speaker 6: We talk about all these other teams in the West,
Speaker 6: and Memphis is the two seed.
Speaker 2: That's a great point. And you know, we tend to
Speaker 2: focus on Memphis when it's something negative that has to
Speaker 2: do with John Morant. But they are a really good team.
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards got his sixteenth technical through the ball in
Speaker 2: the stands Minnesota lost to the Lakers. Like even in
Speaker 2: interviews he drops f bombs. I gret, you know you're
Speaker 2: twenty three, but somebody needs to make sure you remind
Speaker 2: the twenty three year old you don't have to act
Speaker 2: like a twenty three year old and that you know,
Speaker 2: Lakers got the win. But you know, Anthony Edwards, you
Speaker 2: get into the playoffs and you already got sixteen technicals.
Speaker 2: Now we got a problem.
Speaker 7: Yeah, PAULI, you also don't want to build a rep
Speaker 7: and he might be too late on this where you
Speaker 7: start getting technicals when you're playing in relevant games a
Speaker 7: couple of years from now. Remember Rashid Wallace, he would
Speaker 7: get them and then that's it for the rest of
Speaker 7: his career. He couldn't even look at a ref.
Speaker 2: Well, Draymond Green, Yeah, like the official is expecting, Like
Speaker 2: you don't want them to be looking for it, you
Speaker 2: want them reacting to it. But they're human. Anthony Slater,
Speaker 2: senior writer covering Golden State Warriors for The Athletic. He
Speaker 2: was there watching Steph Curry with the Magic last night.
Speaker 2: Was it a standing ovation from the crowd in the
Speaker 2: third quarter?
Speaker 8: Anthony, No, it actually got the loudest I thought in
Speaker 8: the fourth after he hit the three Sha three. I
Speaker 8: think it helped that Orlando was kind of answering back
Speaker 8: at the time, because that kind of usually whips the
Speaker 8: crowd into a frenzy a little bit. But it was
Speaker 8: like truly playoff level ending cheering when he hit it,
Speaker 8: like entire arena. It felt like a home playoff game,
Speaker 8: like on Steph May threes.
Speaker 2: It was a little strange. When did you realize that
Speaker 2: Steph was maybe going to be on a heater.
Speaker 8: Probably when he hit the fifty footer, you know in
Speaker 8: the half, Yeah, to give him twenty one, which you
Speaker 8: know they were like playing really poorly at the time.
Speaker 8: They're down seventeen. He hits the you know bomb with
Speaker 8: you know, one point five seconds left. They're inbounding it
Speaker 8: under their own hoo to trail by fourteen, and it
Speaker 8: was weird. You saw the magic like defeatedly walking into
Speaker 8: the locker room up fourteen. I was like, oh, that's
Speaker 8: it's weird. It had that type of effect. And then
Speaker 8: he came out in the third and he was aggressive
Speaker 8: all game, but the fact he hit that one. Usually
Speaker 8: he comes out and tries to at least see if
Speaker 8: he's hot early in the third and if he is,
Speaker 8: he really puts.
Speaker 2: The pedal down and he did. Are you surprised at
Speaker 2: this point with anything that he does?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Not really.
Speaker 8: I mean sometimes the age, right, he's turning thirty seven
Speaker 8: next month, that part. But I guess like we shouldn't
Speaker 8: be surprised by anything in the NBA anymore. You know
Speaker 8: what Lebron's doing at forty, with what Chris Paul is still.
Speaker 2: Doing in the league.
Speaker 8: You know at forty, Kevin Durant's Steph Curry's age so
Speaker 8: clearly like a he isn't quite what it was in
Speaker 8: the NBA. But he's the other thing about Steph being
Speaker 8: around him every day, I mean the work he puts in,
Speaker 8: the conditioning, he keeps himself in that he like, I
Speaker 8: don't leave the arena last night like wow, what a
Speaker 8: special performers. It was like, Oh, Steph got hot last night,
Speaker 8: you know, probably get hot again. I saw him score
Speaker 8: sixty in Atlanta last year. It was to me, it's
Speaker 8: just bigger that he has the spirit to do it
Speaker 8: right now because he actually believes they're more of a
Speaker 8: contender than he did a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2: Give me the difference between the Warriors a month ago
Speaker 2: and right now.
Speaker 8: Jimmy Butler really, I mean, I know he didn't have
Speaker 8: a good game last night, but but he brought an
Speaker 8: attitude to this team, a confidence level, a second scorer,
Speaker 8: a guy that gets to the free throw line. They're
Speaker 8: among the top teams in the league since he's arrived
Speaker 8: at you know, shooting free throws, and historically, including this year,
Speaker 8: they're a bottom five team in free throws mid range. Defensively,
Speaker 8: they're turning teams over like crazy, and they're not turning
Speaker 8: it over, which is what Jimmy Butler does and what
Speaker 8: the Warriors historically don't do. They turn it over too much.
Speaker 8: So he's just like kind of changed the mechanics and
Speaker 8: the attitude of the team. And they're seven and one
Speaker 8: since they got him. Prior to that, they were like
Speaker 8: thirteen and twenty three over their previous thirty six. They
Speaker 8: hadn't won three games in a rowse in November. Now
Speaker 8: they're on a five game winning streak. So it's really
Speaker 8: just him.
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant turned down the opportunity to go to Golden State.
Speaker 2: Is that a fair assessment of what didn't happen?
Speaker 8: Yes, yeah, yeah, I can remember Trade. So Trade deadline week,
Speaker 8: so it's on Thursday, I'd say the previous Saturday to that,
Speaker 8: Steph Curry talked to Kevin Durant kind of got the
Speaker 8: idea that he didn't want to come and for whatever reason,
Speaker 8: both front offices Phoenix Is and the Warriors kind of
Speaker 8: just plowed through the negotiations despite Durant's desire not to
Speaker 8: be there. I didn't from my understanding, the Warriors front
Speaker 8: office ownership kind of underestimated Durant's coldness towards it, and
Speaker 8: then by the end, by the end when they needed
Speaker 8: to get like the final checkpoint, they had the conversation
Speaker 8: they needed to have, We're like, oh, okay, he really
Speaker 8: doesn't want to come in. And again, I've said this before,
Speaker 8: but I think there was a lot of collective twenty
Speaker 8: nineteen flashbacks. They were an awesome team in twenty nineteen,
Speaker 8: but Kevin Durant was not happy to be there the
Speaker 8: entire time. I don't think anybody wanted to relive just
Speaker 8: the energy of that, so they just cancel it, pivoted
Speaker 8: to Butler, and you know, whatever you think about the
Speaker 8: difference between Butler and Durant.
Speaker 2: As a player.
Speaker 8: Butler right now is like extremely happy to be on
Speaker 8: the Warriors, And I think that's a big difference. I
Speaker 8: motivated superstar as opposed to a superstar who wouldn't want
Speaker 8: to be there.
Speaker 2: Hell threatening, are the Warriors threatening?
Speaker 8: I think that's a good word, right. I'm not ready
Speaker 8: to say contender. Maybe we can call him fringe contenders,
Speaker 8: And I think that says more about the West under
Speaker 8: Oklahoma City. I don't think it's that strong.
Speaker 2: But we've seen.
Speaker 8: Jimmy Butler with a lower seed in the East playoffs
Speaker 8: drag the Heat to two finals. We've seen Steph Curry
Speaker 8: in twenty twenty two, we had a real legitimate, you know,
Speaker 8: number two star next to him take a Warrior scene
Speaker 8: that was really just like kind of some is greater
Speaker 8: than the parts type team to the championship. So those
Speaker 8: two despite you know, Steph thirty seven, Butler thirty five,
Speaker 8: Dramas thirty five, their three best players.
Speaker 2: Are that old.
Speaker 8: Like that's what makes me doubt it still, But like
Speaker 8: we have seen these, right, I would say, three guys
Speaker 8: in playoff settings really raise their game.
Speaker 2: So I wouldn't want to face them if I was
Speaker 2: a three seed I'll leave you with this, what's been
Speaker 2: more impressive? What Lebron is doing or what Steph is doing?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 8: Man, probably, I would say just probably Lebron literally, just
Speaker 8: because of the three extra years.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know what STEP's.
Speaker 8: Gonna look like at forty. He doesn't know he'll be
Speaker 8: passed this current contract, which feels like a long way away.
Speaker 8: So both, obviously, you know, extremely impressive. I wouldn't want
Speaker 8: to downgrade the other, but Lebron at forty is pretty
Speaker 8: unbelievable to me.
Speaker 2: I know you've had a busy schedule, Anthony, Thank you
Speaker 2: for making time yep, thanks for having Anthony Slater, senior
Speaker 2: writer covering Golden State for the Athletic. A couple of
Speaker 2: phone calls in here. Noah in Indiana, Good morning, Noah,
Speaker 2: thanks for holding what's on your mind?
Speaker 8: No Loving in Indiana.
Speaker 4: Hey, I've got a question for you and the dan As.
Speaker 4: I'm curious to what you guys think about that Luca
Speaker 4: trade with the Mavericks.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Noah, Wait, Luca got traded.
Speaker 7: We forgot to get to that last.
Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, I've been spending too much time on
Speaker 2: the tush push. I just didn't have time to talk
Speaker 2: about this Luca trade. But thank you, Noah, thank you
Speaker 2: for reminding us of that. Let's see Dave in San Antonio. Hi, Dave,
Speaker 2: how are you good?
Speaker 5: Guys?
Speaker 2: Welcome back.
Speaker 10: We missed you a lot. I want to seeing a
Speaker 10: stat of the day. But before I get to that,
Speaker 10: I want to tell you that my son loves this show.
Speaker 10: I got him hooked on it.
Speaker 2: You guys were out for a week.
Speaker 10: He was like, Yo, where's Dan, Dad? I'm missing him Today.
Speaker 10: We're in the car, we're listening to you his favorite player, Steph.
Speaker 10: So you start talking about Steph and his handles, and
Speaker 10: you're like, he doesn't have the best handles, and my
Speaker 10: son goes, oh, what is Dan chatting about?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 10: He Uh, Steph has the best handles.
Speaker 1: In the NBA.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, teacher, Son, that that's not true. It's Kyrie, okay.
Speaker 4: And Dan.
Speaker 2: That's all I wanted to tell you.
Speaker 11: Yes, yes, set, he's Steph doesn't have the best handles
Speaker 11: in the NBA because that is Kyrie. But he's probably
Speaker 11: top five all time.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Maybe is it a.
Speaker 7: Different type of handle because his handle is about getting
Speaker 7: his own shot, not necessarily getting past the defender to
Speaker 7: the hole. So it's a different handle than Kyrie, like
Speaker 7: Magic's handle.
Speaker 2: No, he's six' nine running the. Break but when we.
Speaker 6: Said, handle get to the top of the key and get.
Speaker 2: You, Okay but now you're defining what handle, is it's in.
Speaker 2: TRAFFIC i think for the most part that we're talking
Speaker 2: about somebody's, handle, Right.
Speaker 6: Yeah So kyrie And steph are in the top five all,
Speaker 6: time and name any other three you, want go, Ahead.
Speaker 2: Iverson's, handle, sure probably, two, Right Tim hardaway's, handle, yep, okay, Yeah,

Speaker 2: so what he plays a deep sea diver and they're
Speaker 2: In Northern, Ireland they're in The North. Sea they go
Speaker 2: down they're CALLED i think they're called like lubricating divers
Speaker 2: or saturation, divers something like, that where they go down
Speaker 2: for these power grids and you have to do all this.
Speaker 2: Work they're out at sea for thirty, days you have
Speaker 2: to decompress for four days when you come back in
Speaker 2: and it you know if this is based on a
Speaker 2: true story Called Last, breath but it's it's About woody
Speaker 2: and his crew and one of his men get stuck
Speaker 2: down there and goes without oxygen for thirty. Minutes AND
Speaker 2: i start out by asking what he that opening scene
Speaker 2: was pretty remarkable and what was it that brought him
Speaker 2: to do this?
Speaker 12: Movie, Well Paul, brooks WHO i, worked he was the
Speaker 12: producer On, champions this MOVIE i did before you. Know
Speaker 12: he he mentioned this to me and mentioned the documentary
Speaker 12: which was On netflix at the, time and so he
Speaker 12: said to watch. It AND i watched it AND i,
Speaker 12: said oh my, god this Is i'm. In i'm in
Speaker 12: one hundred. PERCENT i love. It he, says you want
Speaker 12: to read the. Script i'm, LIKE i don't need to
Speaker 12: read the. Script i'm, in you, know BECAUSE i was
Speaker 12: just so blown away by the, Story, like what an incredible.
Speaker 12: Story if you if you just heard about it and
Speaker 12: you didn't see, it you, know AS i did in the,
Speaker 12: documentary you couldn't believe that it could, happen you. Know
Speaker 12: SO i was kind of mystified by the. Story AND i,
Speaker 12: Thought Alex, parkinson you, know who had done the doc
Speaker 12: did a tremendous job on the.
Speaker 2: Movie but you have thirty minutes of time where he
Speaker 2: doesn't have any he doesn't have any, oxygen and where
Speaker 2: he was the depth of, it and you, know maybe
Speaker 2: the temperature prevented any. Damage doctors still haven't figured out
Speaker 2: why he didn't suffer irreparable.
Speaker 12: Harm, YEAH i think it's it's one of those, Unexplainables
Speaker 12: like you might just call it a miracle because And
Speaker 12: i'm sure that the temperature, factors the how far below the,
Speaker 12: SURFACE i, mean those are had something to do with,
Speaker 12: it but it's still, inexplicable you.
Speaker 2: Know and you didn't have to get in the, water
Speaker 2: which is good for, you, Right, well.
Speaker 12: They do it in. Rotation they have THREE sat divers and,
Speaker 12: uh and so that just at that, TIME i was
Speaker 12: in The, bell which is that little tiny tin can
Speaker 12: that comes down from the.
