Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Made it to a Thursday Dan and the
Speaker 1: dan 'stan Patrick Show. Glad to have you on board.
Speaker 1: If you're watching, you're listening, you're doing both. You can
Speaker 1: watch on Peacock. It's free all three hours. You can
Speaker 1: listen three hundred and sixty two radio affiliates around the country.
Speaker 1: Say good morning to chat row. Got a pull question,
Speaker 1: play of the day, stat of the day, all of
Speaker 1: that coming up. We got football tonight, Dolphins, Jags. Also basketball,
Speaker 1: a pivotal game four Lakers and the Nuggets. I told
Speaker 1: you last night was a pivotal game FourWhere too, yeah,
Speaker 1: pardon the interruption, called it a pivotal game. Four Celtics
Speaker 1: and the Heat. My Heat go up three games to one.
Speaker 1: Tyler the Hero had thirty seven. He's got to change
Speaker 1: it which is middle name, because we got to change
Speaker 1: it to the Tyler the Hero goes for thirty seven
Speaker 1: in a breakout game last night. Eight seven seven three
Speaker 1: D P show Email ADDRESSDP at Dan Patrick dot com.
Speaker 1: We'll hear from Tyler Hero coming up. You know, you
Speaker 1: start to look at these performances in the bubble, and
Speaker 1: this bubble performance last night by Tyler Heroes being compared
Speaker 1: to Magic Johnson's forty two point game in the nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty finals. I won't go that far, because that performance
Speaker 1: in that game is as big a performance as you'll
Speaker 1: have in NBA history what Magic did as a rookie
Speaker 1: playing basically all five positions, including center. Without Kareeman there.
Speaker 1: But Tyler hero the Miami Heat guard had an historic
Speaker 1: night last night. He's only twenty. He had thirty seven
Speaker 1: points in the one one o nine victory. We had
Speaker 1: no idea how good he was at Kentucky. He was
Speaker 1: only there for one year. They got bounced in the
Speaker 1: sweet sixteen I think by Kansas State. But he was
Speaker 1: nice during the regular season. He's capable of leading the
Speaker 1: team in rebounds. He's capable of leading the team in assists.
Speaker 1: He's also capable of leading the team in points. But
Speaker 1: he's not afraid, not afraid at all. Go back to
Speaker 1: his YouTube videos. When he was in high school, he
Speaker 1: was not afraid, went to Kentucky not afraid, And now
Speaker 1: with the Miami Heat at the age of twenty in
Speaker 1: the playoffs, not afraid. The best thing about the playoffs
Speaker 1: is you just never know who's going to step up.
Speaker 1: We had Devin Booker, you know, he kind of emerged
Speaker 1: a little bit more nationally with the Phoenix Suns. Jamal
Speaker 1: Murray has emerged in the bubble as well. But Tyler
Speaker 1: Hero made a mark for one of the greatest performances
Speaker 1: we've seen in the postseason for a rookie, and you
Speaker 1: start to take inventory on that, and you're going, wait,
Speaker 1: is it really one of the great performances for a rookie?
Speaker 1: And the answer is yes. Now you look at the
Speaker 1: numbers historically, you know, and then you get this team
Speaker 1: up three games to one, best of seven series. The
Speaker 1: teams are up three one go on to win ninety
Speaker 1: five percent of the time. But we've already seen the
Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets twice come back from three one. In the bubble,
Speaker 1: it's a little bit different in the bubble, you know,
Speaker 1: it's more sterile. You don't have to worry about the
Speaker 1: opposing crowd travel. And I think you're seeing these performances
Speaker 1: from younger players. I don't think they're intimidated. I think
Speaker 1: the bubble younger players have flourished in the bubble, whereas
Speaker 1: the older player, the more established player, he's probably got
Speaker 1: more things going on in his life. You know, you've
Speaker 1: got your families, and here's Tyler Heroes, twenty years of age.
Speaker 1: All he's doing is just going in there and playing.
Speaker 1: You're not worried about a hostile environment there, and you're
Speaker 1: seeing some of these younger players emerge. But that was
Speaker 1: fun to watch and Miami Heat go up three games
Speaker 1: to one. We'll check in with Jason Jackson, former ESPN
Speaker 1: SportsCenter host who now he's been hosting the Miami Heat
Speaker 1: pre and post game for fifteen years. Hill Join is
Speaker 1: coming up. This program brought to you by Legal Zoom.
Speaker 1: Legal zoom dot com. They take care of things you
Speaker 1: need to get done without having to leave your home.
Speaker 1: That's legal Zoom dot Com. A couple other items. Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay Rays when the Al East, I was watching the
Speaker 1: Lightning beat the Dallas Stars. I watched one quarter of
Speaker 1: that last night just to hear it from Doc Emeric.
Speaker 1: The Mid American Conference football vote will be Friday to
Speaker 1: see if they come back. If it's the blueprint is
Speaker 1: basically the new blueprint is six games in a regular
Speaker 1: season if you can. That's that's what the goal is
Speaker 1: for these conferences who are now trying late in the
Speaker 1: fall to do this. We already saw the acc SEC
Speaker 1: in Big twelve. They got started early. They're planning on
Speaker 1: playing nine or ten games. But everybody else, if you're
Speaker 1: coming back now, you're trying to squeeze out six games. McLevin,
Speaker 1: what kind of poll question do you have for him
Speaker 1: in your day? And Fritzie, no mock headlines, Tyler Hero,
Speaker 1: it's too easy. That's just gotta gotta be more creative
Speaker 1: than that. Just it's right there for you. It's when
Speaker 1: it's that blatant you almost have to stay away from
Speaker 1: it because it's silly to have someone named hero do
Speaker 1: what he did last night. Okay, I just I was one.
Speaker 1: Usually you take the easy way out, this simple way out.
Speaker 1: How much would I get crush on? I said, here's
Speaker 1: my mock headline, what a hero or the hero of
Speaker 1: the night? I get destroyed. I know, be ridiculous for
Speaker 1: me to play off of here, but but we do
Speaker 1: that anyway. We do so, and and mine of mediocre
Speaker 1: at best. Regardless, though maybe can I write a bunch
Speaker 1: of a hero lock outline? No, it's up to you.
Speaker 1: We were surprised because usually I get the mock headline
Speaker 1: sent to me and nobody else. And then it's my
Speaker 1: job to be sort of the lifeguard to see if
Speaker 1: I allow you in the deep end of the pool.
Speaker 1: And then there are times when I go, you better
Speaker 1: put on some floaties, and then other times I say,
Speaker 1: don't even put on your bathing suit. But Tyler Hero, look,
Speaker 1: how many years have you been giving us Valentine's names,
Speaker 1: Christmas names? Yes, John Candelaria, Candy Labor No. No, I no,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that. And we're getting close to Halloween,
Speaker 1: so I don't know. I just if you don't want
Speaker 1: to do mock headlines, you don't have to. I was
Speaker 1: just surprised that you didn't. Now you gave me the rationale,
Speaker 1: and I'm fine with that. We move on mc lovin.
Speaker 1: What kind of poll question do you have? Okay, let's
Speaker 1: jump in on the Tyler Hero over reactions or maybe
Speaker 1: appropriate reactions. I'll give you a redraft of the twenty
Speaker 1: nineteen NBA draft. Who you've taken John Morett, Tyler Hero,
Speaker 1: or Zion Williamson. I'm gonna take John Moran. I think
Speaker 1: he'll be the best player out of this group. But
Speaker 1: if I'm starting a franchise and i want eyeballs. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take Zion Williamson. I need to see a whole
Speaker 1: lot more from Tyler Hero. I need him to be
Speaker 1: more consistent. Let me put it that way. John Morant
Speaker 1: was consistently great this year. Zion had his moments when
Speaker 1: he was great. Tyler Hero is on a team that
Speaker 1: allows him to make cameos like you can kind of
Speaker 1: pop in like Duncan Robinson and be great one night
Speaker 1: and then you can step back out of the spotlight. Now,
Speaker 1: he's had a couple of good games here, you know,
Speaker 1: back to back. I think he had twenty two points
Speaker 1: in game three, and he'd be consistent because that's gonna
Speaker 1: be the real key here with you know, Tyler Hero.
Speaker 1: As you move forward, Yeah, point this, I'm smelling what's
Speaker 1: going on here? This is a classic mclovin poll question
Speaker 1: to set up himself for a scalding hot take. Do
Speaker 1: you have a scolding hunt? I don't, but I sort
Speaker 1: of do. I would take Hero over Moran because it's
Speaker 1: a shooting league and he's got that Steph Curry. It's
Speaker 1: the Steph Curry clone league now, So why wouldn't you
Speaker 1: take Tyler Hero over Zion? If it's a shooters league
Speaker 1: because I'm just some massive Zion man. Zion's like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I just still would take Zion. I can't
Speaker 1: explain exactly, but doesn't A isn't this like kind of
Speaker 1: Steph Curry look alike the new thing in the NBA?
Speaker 1: And I don't think John Moran can shoot out easy
Speaker 1: easy easy. You know we've done this with Jamal Murray.
Speaker 1: Now we're Dona with Tyler Hero. They're not Steph Curry, right,
Speaker 1: but they're inspired by Steph. Okay, inspired is one thing,
Speaker 1: but a comparison too. I gotta stop you short there.
Speaker 1: Everybody else is doing it. Why can't we jump in?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I I don't do hot takes here, you know,
Speaker 1: I try to be reasonable rational. Andrea Goodala played with both.
Speaker 1: I know. The first thing out of his mouth the
Speaker 1: day was like that was Steph Curry. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: he didn't want to go there. Oh okay, I didn't
Speaker 1: hear that. He was tiptoeing. And then he goes why
Speaker 1: you know, like, I can't can't exactly say that, but
Speaker 1: you know there's comparisons of their handle and their ability
Speaker 1: to get off their shot. Steph Curry is an anomaly,
Speaker 1: like Steph Curry changed the NBA. I mean, let's be
Speaker 1: fair Steph Curry's legacy here, Tyler Hero had thirty seven points.
Speaker 1: Steph Curry, we expect him to have thirty seven points. Now,
Speaker 1: you can say not as a twenty year old, because
Speaker 1: Steph was still at Davidson getting thirty seven against Appalachian State.
Speaker 1: But Tyler Hero on a big state. It's hard to
Speaker 1: really assess Kentucky players because they're only there for four
Speaker 1: or five months, and you know they've only one national
Speaker 1: title with John Caliperry, all of that talent, one national title.
Speaker 1: It's hard to really bring all of that in and
Speaker 1: make it all work in a short period of time.
Speaker 1: That's why we'll always have teams that have that veteran leadership,
Speaker 1: experienced guys or juniors and seniors. They're always going to
Speaker 1: do damage in the tournament because there's something about that
Speaker 1: familiarity of being together for a few years. But you
Speaker 1: go back bam At a Baio who was at Kentucky.
Speaker 1: He's the one who said to pat Riley, you got
Speaker 1: a draft Tyler Hero, and I watched Kentucky play. There'd
Speaker 1: be times when I'd go boy, that guy's great, and
Speaker 1: then you tune in again and you go, oh, that
Speaker 1: guy's great. It's you know, it was sort of like
Speaker 1: who wants to be the Star today for Kentucky and
Speaker 1: Tyler Hero kind of got lost. I remember when he
Speaker 1: got drafted and I thought, Okay, maybe he can be
Speaker 1: a spot up three point shooter. But then you realize
Speaker 1: he's long, he plays defense, and he's a good passer,
Speaker 1: good rebounder, and he's not afraid. Like my description, if
Speaker 1: somebody says, how would you describe Tyler Hero, I'd say
Speaker 1: not afraid. That's it. Ain't not afraid, Yeah, Paul. A
Speaker 1: lot of people are comparing him to Devin Booker. Both
Speaker 1: average fourteen points a game as rookies, both average about
Speaker 1: thirty five percent from three as rookies, and then they
Speaker 1: broke out their second year. Well, they won't build around
Speaker 1: Tyler Hero. Phoenix has built around Devin Booker. Devin Booker
Speaker 1: is a better player than Tyler Hero. But do you
Speaker 1: think Miami is a perfect team for Tyler Hero Because
Speaker 1: they don't really have a ball dominant guard. He has
Speaker 1: room to shoot, room to play well. They do spread
Speaker 1: the wealth. They're really good at that. Like Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 1: You just sort of look at him and go, hey, Jimmy,
Speaker 1: we need some points here with six minutes to go.
Speaker 1: Gorn Dragic has been great, bam Autobio is great. Keep
Speaker 1: an eye on that injury that he suffered last night.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's going to affect him if
Speaker 1: they get to the NBA Finals. But bam Adebio got
Speaker 1: hurt last night. Yes, another use he overreaction question. You
Speaker 1: can take one player from this Eastern Conference finals to
Speaker 1: build around, So I'll give you twenty year old Tyler Hero,
Speaker 1: twenty two year old Jason Tatum, twenty three year old
Speaker 1: Jayn Brown, or a twenty three year old bam out
Speaker 1: of Bio. Okay, Jason Tatum cannot go scoreless in a half.
Speaker 1: But he did. But he scored twenty eight in a second.
Speaker 1: I know that's amazing, But you can't put up a donut.
Speaker 1: We can't have the same number of points. I'm watching
Speaker 1: he's playing and we have the same number of points
Speaker 1: in the first half. That can't happen. He's a great player.
Speaker 1: That doesn't happen to great players. But wait, you just
Speaker 1: called him great. I know I would still take Jason Tatum. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'll do you have mock headlines? Now Ton, Okay, this
Speaker 1: is going to be especially bad if these are under pressure,
Speaker 1: banged out a few in just a couple of minutes.
Speaker 1: These this is notice. Do you need any more time? Todd?
Speaker 1: Are you good? I think I'm ready? Come. You not
Speaker 1: make a lot of sense. They usually don't. Okay, do
Speaker 1: you have any music here? I love a little music, Yeah,
Speaker 1: a little That's the only thing that dresses these. Can
Speaker 1: we listen to music instead of here in the seventies? Rock?
Speaker 1: Here we go. He's a creative one to get start
Speaker 1: with heroic performance playing off name Tyler hero, heroic performance.
Speaker 1: You don't repeat them. See, you don't even have to
Speaker 1: go heroic performance. Name is hero. It would just be
Speaker 1: heroic performance, hero today, gone tomorrow? Is you're flash in
Speaker 1: the pan? That's at least original. Could be a flash
Speaker 1: in the pan. Just keep going. I knew that hero?
Speaker 1: Well you got one, Fannie Tyler. Yeah, nobody knows that
Speaker 1: Storm the greatest American hero. Okay, no, I'm walking. That
Speaker 1: reference is even older, he said. She said that doesn't
Speaker 1: make sense, He said, she said, we got to don't
Speaker 1: be surprised. Tyler's Suppolster. Do that Tylo's Eric's Suppolster? Have
Speaker 1: you used that one before? Definitely? Okay, three more, I'll
Speaker 1: put your guys out here busily. That's a full app
Speaker 1: from you. Juke Box Hero, that's like you do with
Speaker 1: juke boxes. I'm music. That's a foreigner. That's late seventies.
Speaker 1: Well done time. How about Hogan's Hero an old TV
Speaker 1: show for the seven I don't it doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1: Does that got to do it? Anything? But do you
Speaker 1: don't have any references after nineteen ninety last one to work?
Speaker 1: Brad Stephen says, we don't need another hero Hero. He's
Speaker 1: done with him. Killed him with thirty seven points, I
Speaker 1: think lest there. By the way, it's h Paully's birthday.
Speaker 1: You can buy anyto regular price T shirts for forty
Speaker 1: nine dollars at dan patrick dot com. It's a special
Speaker 1: Pauly birthday sale there very exciting dan Patrick dot com.
Speaker 1: PAULI loves this stuff. He loves that stuff much. Rather
Speaker 1: have any nord completely than here. That's yeah. I wondered
Speaker 1: about that. I wanted, but but seton tied it into
Speaker 1: you know, the T shirts there, So that's the only
Speaker 1: reason why I brought it up. I would say it
Speaker 1: to you privately, Happy birthday. I would whisper it to
Speaker 1: you as we left the studio today, like, hey, happy birthday.
Speaker 1: Flight days in sixteen days Saturday? Is it same day?
Speaker 1: Same year? Did I tell you about that? Bred Father
Speaker 1: and I were both want October nineteen sixty nine. We're
Speaker 1: both gonn turned fifty one and sixteen days. I know
Speaker 1: it's Pauli's birthday time. I mean sixteen days slow down,
Speaker 1: slow slow down, and bread Father are gonna be fifty
Speaker 1: one on the same day in sixteen days from now,
Speaker 1: slowdown ten sixty nins. But it's a Saturday. Let's sell
Speaker 1: Friday the night. You know what, we will not acknowledge.
Speaker 1: We're not going to acknowledge your birthday since we did
Speaker 1: it today, Friday the night. For a quick mention, McLevin,
Speaker 1: what other poll questions do you have? Okay, I want
Speaker 1: to hype up tonight's Thursday night MATCHIC Jaguars. If you
Speaker 1: combine every team in the NFL, is there the worst
Speaker 1: possible matchup Dolphins Jaguars. I mean, I know you're gonna
Speaker 1: say Jaguars Colts because they take out the AFC South well,
Speaker 1: that was an exciting game, at least Jags and the Colts.
Speaker 1: It was. I never turned over that. I have my
Speaker 1: Sunday tickets set so the AFC South games don't come in.
Speaker 1: If TUA was playing, then this is really good. This
Speaker 1: is must CTV. Fitzpatrick against Gardner Minshew, the Beard versus
Speaker 1: the stash Jacksonville was trying to prove me wrong. Then
Speaker 1: you know they're in. They're going to be competitive this year.
Speaker 1: What else would be? I think any game the Jets
Speaker 1: are in would probably be a disaster. How about how
Speaker 1: about Jets versus Giants? How bad would that be? No
Speaker 1: se Quon in there? Jags, Dolphins, now the Bengals. No,
Speaker 1: take the Bengals off the list. The Panthers without Christian McCaffrey,
Speaker 1: that's pretty dry. The Lions Jags off. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: if you put the Lions in there too. Yes, mclovin.
Speaker 1: Do you still view the Jags as a team that
Speaker 1: could be tanking for Trevor? Or? Are they not really
Speaker 1: the worst of the worst right now? Well, on the
Speaker 1: field they play hard. Every time I bring this up,
Speaker 1: people say, yeah, hey, Gardner playing great. No, Gardner Minshew
Speaker 1: is gonna play hard. Those players are going to play hard.
Speaker 1: It's this is managerial tanking. It's the same thing the
Speaker 1: Marlins did, and Derek Jeter got so upset about it,
Speaker 1: and it's like, these guys are playing hard. The guys
Speaker 1: you put on the field, Derek, are playing hard. You're
Speaker 1: not putting the best product on the field that you can.
Speaker 1: That's called tanking. The Cubs did this, It's called tanking.
Speaker 1: Help them win a World Series? What else do you have? Mclovin.
Speaker 1: Oh right, the Marlins are gonna make the playoffs, which
Speaker 1: is sickening to a Phillies fan. But okay, so if
Speaker 1: you had to bet one of these teams is not
Speaker 1: Who's the team that you would bet on? Is most
Speaker 1: certainly not going to make the playoffs? Okay, So kind
Speaker 1: of the teams you just mentioned, like Bengals, Jets, who Panthers?
Speaker 1: Who is not making the hundred dollars? Is not making
Speaker 1: the playoffs? The Jets, you're totally sure that there. They
Speaker 1: don't have a run. The Giants, the Panthers, you have
Speaker 1: to pick one, the Bengal. I'm telling you that I
Speaker 1: don't know if any of these teams make it. You know,
Speaker 1: there was a lot of love by the experts for
Speaker 1: the Lions. But man, you're getting to that point if
Speaker 1: you go oh and three and you're already on a
Speaker 1: warm seat there, Matt Patricia is who do the Lions
Speaker 1: have this week? Someone that could be ahead of at
Speaker 1: halftime and losing a painful fashion. They go to Arizona.
Speaker 1: That's a tough one. Yeah, but that's the kind of
Speaker 1: game the Lions win every year. It feels like where
Speaker 1: you go, but that's somebody's gonna have a win where
Speaker 1: you go? What then that might be the Lions? What
Speaker 1: type of win? Yes, boy, I saw the books of
Speaker 1: the country has their money on the Arizona Cardinals to
Speaker 1: cover against Detroit Lions. The biggest uh bad of the weekend?
Speaker 1: Who's born on your birthday? The same same day? Oh?
Speaker 1: I got some really good ones same day, same year.
Speaker 1: Now I don't have that. Adam Sandler's wife, Missus Sandler's
Speaker 1: born on the Jackie, that's right. Yeah. F Scott Fitzgerald,
Speaker 1: which why f Scott fitz Joe? What did he do?
Speaker 1: And he excused to bring that every time I see
Speaker 1: Ted I watched that movie and they get to f
Speaker 1: Scott what did what did? What did he do you,
Speaker 1: Scott mean, Joe Green, Eddie, George, and my personal favorite,
Speaker 1: the Aetola comany. Oh this day. Wow, another thing we

Speaker 1: pull question. Got a play of the day? Stat of
Speaker 1: the day coming up? What else do you have time for?
Speaker 1: What I was just talking to Andrew? If the off? Oh? Okay?
Speaker 1: Oh for the for the headline? Yes, it's like do
Speaker 1: I just got back to feed you? You You know? I
Speaker 1: just got back to my seat that you just sent
Speaker 1: it to. He's no sub. He's a hero. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: you understand a little. It comes off the bench, so
Speaker 1: he got to play. I got it, and oh I
Speaker 1: got it. I got it. I got it. He's no sub.
Speaker 1: He's a hero. Yeah, he's Jason Jackson, Miami Heat talk
Speaker 1: about the Heat TV host, Courtside reporter, hosts Sirius xm
Speaker 1: NBA Radio and he joins us on the program. Well,
Speaker 1: you saw that one coming last night, didn't you. I
Speaker 1: try to. I try to lead Heat nation, Dan, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't try to, you know, prescribe to um even
Speaker 1: though President pat Riley from the Miami Heat has those
Speaker 1: two phases of just winning and misery. I try to
Speaker 1: be that bridge in between called hope. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: you got a chance to see Tyler Hero all season long.
Speaker 1: And I always say when somebody says, how would you
Speaker 1: describe it? I said, he's not afraid. But you know,
Speaker 1: the evolution or the maturity or whatever it is. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's twenty years of age. You're not doing these things
Speaker 1: in the playoffs at twenty years of age. Why is
Speaker 1: Tyler Hero doing this? He's a son of a coach,
Speaker 1: and I think that stuff is real. It's part of
Speaker 1: his DNA to understand fully that first of all, to work,
Speaker 1: like if you're gonna get you've been blessed. You're tall,
Speaker 1: you have an accumen for putting the ball in the basket.
Speaker 1: You had no problem disappointing a whole state leaving Wisconsin
Speaker 1: to go play at Kentucky. And when you play at
Speaker 1: Kentucky year, you're playing in some serious, serious basketball locations,
Speaker 1: particularly your home arena by the way, with that big
Speaker 1: Blue nation who will love you and will turn on you,
Speaker 1: as you know full well, in an instant. So I
Speaker 1: think that one year helps, and then that space helps,
Speaker 1: because not only are you playing with some of the
Speaker 1: best players in the country, you're playing with some of
Speaker 1: the best alumni in the universe. And players came back
Speaker 1: obviously that summer, as he's coming to school throughout the year,
Speaker 1: the summer after, and now it's been a year since
Speaker 1: training camp. Damn's ridiculous. A year ago next week I
Speaker 1: was dragging my behind up and down the inter State
Speaker 1: ninety five to West Palm Beach just to get to
Speaker 1: know this kid. But I'll briefly tell you this story
Speaker 1: about seeing him the very first time. I think I
Speaker 1: told you the last time we were together that I
Speaker 1: do these charity events for Calipari. There in the Bahamas,
Speaker 1: heroes in there getting busy, like you're seeing right now
Speaker 1: against grown men. Now listen, the national team and the
Speaker 1: Bahamas all right, is it's not the Dream team, okay,
Speaker 1: but those are grown men, all right. So I'm a
Speaker 1: little too grown. I believe there was a thirty five
Speaker 1: year old cat out there getting busy, but there was
Speaker 1: just I remember calling my sons, who follow all the
Speaker 1: young high school players across the country going, and I did,
Speaker 1: like everybody else, there's this guy Hatrow. He's out here,
Speaker 1: who's out here jumping out of the gym first of all,
Speaker 1: so there's a part of his game we still haven't seen.
Speaker 1: So you thought he was from another country. You gave
Speaker 1: him the hat. Well, I've been in Miami for so long,
Speaker 1: you've got to roll your arms. I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: the only guy who will ever be on your show.
Speaker 1: That's on Peacock with Peacock's out actually on the street.
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful existence down here. But yeah, from the beginning,
Speaker 1: you do see kind of this and it matches his head. Coach,
Speaker 1: by the way, even up, thirty down, thirty hit one
Speaker 1: of twenty, Hit nineteen of twenty A calmness and evenness
Speaker 1: and a willingness stand to take instruction, not thinking because
Speaker 1: you're doing so well as a young player that you
Speaker 1: don't know anything. And Jimmy Butler from day one woke
Speaker 1: his behind up at three in the morning for workouts,
Speaker 1: created what is called Tyler Tuesday. Not as awesome as
Speaker 1: the catchphrase I'll be stealing about not just being a song.
Speaker 1: He's a hero. Oh I usually go to Mariah for
Speaker 1: that one, and a hero came along. He always had
Speaker 1: a soft spot in your heart for Marian, didn't you.
Speaker 1: Oh it hasn't changed, No care, it's been Dan. You're
Speaker 1: only human. Thirty years of a love affair through Tommy Mattola,
Speaker 1: the eminem babies and what have you. She looks at
Speaker 1: me wrong one time, one time? All right, So I'm
Speaker 1: on the Heat bandwagon. In fact, I text you I
Speaker 1: don't know when a couple of days ago, and I said,
Speaker 1: my heat. So how good is this team? Let's say
Speaker 1: they get to the finals. Let's say it's against the Lakers.
Speaker 1: Can they hold? Can they hold their own with the Lakers,
Speaker 1: given the makeup of who they are, what they have,
Speaker 1: and going against what the Lakers have. As long as
Speaker 1: it doesn't trend the way it did in the two
Speaker 1: regular season meeting, that would that would have to change.
Speaker 1: But everything with this team has changed since then, though
Speaker 1: the world has changed. It would listen needless to say,
Speaker 1: I've projected my brain a little bit. Again. You keep
Speaker 1: putting me in these tenure with spots. I have been
Speaker 1: a wonderful Miami Heat employee for nearly seventeen years. Because
Speaker 1: I don't talk like this in public, Dad, but for you,
Speaker 1: for you anything, Um, it comes down to a very
Speaker 1: simple thing. With the Miami Heat, are you gonna defend
Speaker 1: like no one ever defends? Unlike Game three, when that
Speaker 1: that sixty point debacle in the paint that they could
Speaker 1: not stop. Like I'm not even saying the Heat defense
Speaker 1: was poor. Just Boston decided what they were going to
Speaker 1: do and got there, and obviously the adjustment you see
Speaker 1: the results of that. But with the Lakers, man and
Speaker 1: and and god bless the Nuggets man from not caring, right,
Speaker 1: but those two, you just don't have anything for those two.
Speaker 1: So you hope that you at least are matching a
Speaker 1: D and Lebron. Hopefully they're not having those all NBA
Speaker 1: First team uh nights. Hopefully Lebron's not mad about the
Speaker 1: voting process. By the way, bring team broadcasters back in.
Speaker 1: I think that's where Lebron should go. Bring the team
Speaker 1: broadcasters back into the voting. That man's MVP. Would you
Speaker 1: have given him Lebron? Yeah, but again, how could you
Speaker 1: be wrong? How could you be wrong voting him MVP
Speaker 1: if you chose to simply because of the word value?
Speaker 1: Where was that team when he was injured down the
Speaker 1: stretch for the first time in his career, And where
Speaker 1: was that team when he was on the floor the
Speaker 1: majority of nights. That's just it's a really simple thing.
Speaker 1: And he's right for so long, and you and I
Speaker 1: voted in this spot best team, best player. That's that's
Speaker 1: where I start as a voter. That's and that's not
Speaker 1: an indictment against the honest at all. I mean, we
Speaker 1: don't get a criteria when we get that battlet with
Speaker 1: five slots. I don't think there was a problem either
Speaker 1: way if you voted Lebron one or two. I'm with
Speaker 1: Lebron in the sense that the sixteen first place vote
Speaker 1: scenes a little light. It's like when you give somebody
Speaker 1: at twenty and they give you two dollars back. You're like, yeah, well,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, that's not the change. That's I didn't
Speaker 1: purchase something for eighteen dollars. That's not how it works
Speaker 1: around here. I'm gonna guess Miami Heat fans do they
Speaker 1: want Lebron? I think deep down they do, knowing full
Speaker 1: well that that's you know, a lunchbox, a hard hat
Speaker 1: with a light and a thermis and and hoping to
Speaker 1: the Almighty that you can get that thing to seven
Speaker 1: games and then see what happens. Listen, if we're being
Speaker 1: super candid and that's what you brought me on here
Speaker 1: to do the Heat or two years ahead of schedule,
Speaker 1: even though Jimmy has been telling this story about winning
Speaker 1: and winning the championship for a year now. So if
Speaker 1: you if you just listen to Jimmy and you buy
Speaker 1: us twenty dollars coffees, you're you're set. Yeah. You start
Speaker 1: to look at these teams, these younger teams or younger players,
Speaker 1: and I think they've the bubble has helped them. I
Speaker 1: think the bubble is not good for older players, but
Speaker 1: for these younger guys who were twenty twenty one, twenty two,
Speaker 1: they don't have families, you know, okay, so you're being
Speaker 1: you know, put up in a hotel and all you're
Speaker 1: doing is playing ball and that's it. No crowds, you know,
Speaker 1: there's no home court advantage. You know, you're not going
Speaker 1: to the Boston Garden to play and put up thirty
Speaker 1: seven points. And I think it's been a real benefit
Speaker 1: for some of these teams. I don't think Denver comes
Speaker 1: back from those three one deficits. If they're actually going
Speaker 1: on the road to these places. I don't think they
Speaker 1: beat the Clippers down three or you know, down three one.
Speaker 1: But in the bubble, it just neutralizes everybody. Your thoughts
Speaker 1: on wonder before this all started on the campus in Orlando,
Speaker 1: what would prevail over talent, Like, if you just had
Speaker 1: the better team, what was going to win? And on
Speaker 1: a neutral floor, it's if you can get momentum swinging
Speaker 1: in your direction. What stops that? I mean, there's just nothing.
Speaker 1: So if you were the inferior seed and you can
Speaker 1: just get a couple things rolling, then you can keep
Speaker 1: in rolling, which has been the case for Miami against
Speaker 1: Milwaukee and Boston for Denver. I mean, it's just it's
Speaker 1: pretty remarkable. It's ridiculous that they have that capacity to
Speaker 1: keep pushing back. But yeah, if you had to go
Speaker 1: on the road to the Staples Center for all these games,
Speaker 1: by the way, it would be hell to pay. You
Speaker 1: can't you can't even hear yourself think. And I will say,
Speaker 1: hebrow would have been all right. That would have been
Speaker 1: a Miami home game last night, so he would have
Speaker 1: people been carrying him in the street if this was
Speaker 1: a regular life. I thought about that. Damn. I think
Speaker 1: about the folks in LA and Denver, Boston and Miami.
Speaker 1: Whoever ends up advancing in those areas, just how that
Speaker 1: kind of I'll come out of the arena at one
Speaker 1: am after doing post game and crickets, but just nothing
Speaker 1: in a place like Miami where you can get down,
Speaker 1: choose to just remember he's even available here. He's not
Speaker 1: a sub. He's a hero. Oh my goodness. Just remember that.
Speaker 1: It's better than grinder. Oh yeah, grinder, Yeah you can.
Speaker 1: You can work that in. Also to Tyler the Hero,
Speaker 1: I think his middle name should be changed to the Okay,
Speaker 1: with that, we'll reach out to moms. Okay, yeah, are
Speaker 1: you going? Are you going back to bed? Not at all, dog,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you where I'm going. I'm going into the
Speaker 1: pull season. Hello, you're cincing everywhere I turned. I'm winning.
Speaker 1: Damn you're Cincinnati Reds. Oh and you're cy young winner
Speaker 1: Trevor Bauer. Come on, he comes off that thing. Well,
Speaker 1: I just I don't know how I could handle that
Speaker 1: if I was a major league hitter. Just the guttural
Speaker 1: screaming stare down. But in the end, you can hit it, right.
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't get that. You don't have to
Speaker 1: deal with any of that if you put your bat
Speaker 1: on the ball. But boy, when he comes off, snapping
Speaker 1: out of I can't handle it. I called my brother.
Speaker 1: We curse on the phone. Already ridiculous. Thanks for getting up.
Speaker 1: I know you got to bed late last night, but
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us to talk about my heat. True love, brother,
Speaker 1: and welcome to the nation. You need a flag back there.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get you a Heat nation flag if you
Speaker 1: don't mind flying it. Yeah, bring it, yeah, send it up.
Speaker 1: See if no doubt, ask Ryles if he'll sign it
Speaker 1: for me. Miami Heat partner fed X will take care
Speaker 1: of that for you. Thank you, Jay. That's a Jason
Speaker 1: Jackson Junior, the third joining us on the program. Dude's
Speaker 1: funny on a knucklehead, he's the best. Just slid out
Speaker 1: of the screen there. He's short on sleep. I think
Speaker 1: he got to bed at one in the morning to
Speaker 1: Todd text him and he said that he was still asleep.
Speaker 1: He's like rolled over, saw his phone lightning up. Next
Speaker 1: thing at seven thirty in the morning when I'm in
Speaker 1: on the air since one o'clock. A yeah, Ted and
Speaker 1: Tampa joints us Hey, Ted, Hey, good morning DV. Let's
Speaker 1: see pat rally your class to sixty five Tyler Hero,
Speaker 1: dam Adebayo, Anthony Davis, Devin Booker. I don't see any
Speaker 1: dookies in there. And then the second point I've got
Speaker 1: to make is, please tell us Seaton we have Colonel
Speaker 1: Bill Carlton is going to take his place in the
Speaker 1: World's greatest endurance race in March and Chile. All right, well,
Speaker 1: thank you, Ted. I'm not sure I understood either one
Speaker 1: of those. But yeah, see I wasn't I wasn't aware
Speaker 1: I was going to Chili, but I would love to
Speaker 1: or actually it sounds like I've been replaced. Yeah, Bill
Speaker 1: Carlton has already taken your colonel. Yeah the nov I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, yeah, all right, we'll take a break here,
Speaker 1: we'll come back. We'll settle one our poll question. Got
Speaker 1: our play of the day as well, and a stat
Speaker 1: of the day back after this. Thanks for listening to

Speaker 1: live every weekday morning nine until noon eastern six to
Speaker 1: nine shiffic on Fox Sports Radio and you can find
Speaker 1: us on the iHeartRadio app at FSR or stream us
Speaker 1: live on the Peacock app. Oh my god, play of
Speaker 1: the day, This is the playoff the day. Check this
Speaker 1: out and Harper swings and hits one of the air
Speaker 1: to left center field. Pretty deep tailored backtrack, wall leaps gone,
Speaker 1: buys Harper with another whole run up the alley and
Speaker 1: left center into the Phillies bullpen. He's gone deep twice
Speaker 1: tonight in the Phillies, just like that. Reclaim there, two
Speaker 1: run lead. It's three to one, three games left, Phillies
Speaker 1: half game behind the Marlins for the second spot in
Speaker 1: National League East, which would give them an automatic bid
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. That's courtesy of the Phillies Radio Network
Speaker 1: Play of the Day brought to you by Home Depot
Speaker 1: giving a shout out to all those pros that are
Speaker 1: working hard every day. They've got delivery options to get
Speaker 1: you what you need exactly where you need it, so
Speaker 1: you can keep doing what ever it takes to get
Speaker 1: the job done. The Home Depot, how doers get more done?
Speaker 1: We've been talking about Tyler Hero. Let's hear from him
Speaker 1: after last night's performance. Like Coach said, the biggest thing
Speaker 1: is is my teammates from top to bottom trust me,
Speaker 1: from the oldest guy to the youngest guy. And that's big.
Speaker 1: Not all vets are like that, and they really shine
Speaker 1: light on me. You know, ever since I've been to Miami,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Jimmy has been the you know, the biggest influence
Speaker 1: for me, and he just continues to teach me and
Speaker 1: help me. So without my teammates, I don't think any
Speaker 1: of that would be possible, especially as a rookie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I don't even know if you consider him a rookie.
Speaker 1: Like technically he's a rookie, but given everything that they've
Speaker 1: been through, and I mean ten months ago, he's a rookie.
Speaker 1: Eight months ago, He's a rookie seven six months ago.
Speaker 1: Now this he doesn't feel like a rookie. Here is
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler on Tyler Hero, without a doubt. We know
Speaker 1: anybody out our roster that they're capable of that it
Speaker 1: was his time. I hope it's his time in the
Speaker 1: next game as well. It could be Duncan. I hope
Speaker 1: it's Duncy, could be Bam, it could be anybody. But
Speaker 1: he definitely willed us to a victory tonight. And that's
Speaker 1: another thing that helps. Jimmy Butler is not a guy
Speaker 1: who has said, boy, I gotta get my touches or
Speaker 1: I need to have my shots. Jimmy Butler, you know
Speaker 1: when it's there, he takes it. It feels like the
Speaker 1: last six or seven minutes of a game. That's when
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler shines. But that willingness, that ability to share,
Speaker 1: and they've had a star, a different star almost every
Speaker 1: night in the postseason. If it's Bam, it's Goren, Duncan, Robinson, Tyler, Hero,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler, and to be able to have that where
Speaker 1: everybody steps on the floor every night knowing, hey, this
Speaker 1: could be my night. It's not. There are certain teams
Speaker 1: where certain players get on the floor, they know that
Speaker 1: they're not going to get the ball. They're going to
Speaker 1: get a couple of shots, but not much more. That
Speaker 1: Miami team, as I've been stressing all along, they are
Speaker 1: a great team. Celtics I think are more talented, but
Speaker 1: the sum of the parts, the Miami Heat or a
Speaker 1: better team, and they've shown that so far. This might
Speaker 1: be a season where Boston looks back and goes, gosh,
Speaker 1: we got rid of the Raptors, the Bucks were eliminated,
Speaker 1: we didn't have to worry about the seventy six ers,
Speaker 1: and we're not able to get by the Miami Heat
Speaker 1: to play for a championship. I know, three games to one,
Speaker 1: that hardest win is that close out game. But I
Speaker 1: think Boston's going to be looking back on this and
Speaker 1: going what could have been? And now you have things
Speaker 1: that happened. You know, Gordon Hayward with his injury, by
Speaker 1: the way, his wife had a baby, so he stayed
Speaker 1: in the bubble. He was going to leave the bubble
Speaker 1: and decided not to and so she had that baby.
Speaker 1: I think yesterday, yeah, Poy, Yeah, the Celtics. I think
Speaker 1: this is season seven with Brad Stevens. They made a
Speaker 1: couple of Eastern Conference finals, but there's always been something
Speaker 1: that's either Kyrie's helping us or hurting us, or someone's injured,
Speaker 1: or now they have this big opening it it feels
Speaker 1: like they're on a run where they should have made
Speaker 1: a finals by now. Got the Lakers and Nuggets coming
Speaker 1: up tonight, and one thing to keep an eye on
Speaker 1: is the number of free throws that Lebron will shoot,
Speaker 1: because I think he's shot a total of ten free
Speaker 1: throws in three games. That's almost impossible to fathom. For
Speaker 1: a player who has the ball and is of that
Speaker 1: star status and you shoot seven of ten, that's usually
Speaker 1: what he'll do in a game. Anthony Davis has shot
Speaker 1: over thirty free throws in the first three games. If Lebron,
Speaker 1: Lebron's got to make them pay now. He's also got
Speaker 1: to get those calls. But I don't want a jump
Speaker 1: shooting Lebron. And I do think you're seeing Lebron not
Speaker 1: mere mortal, but by comparison to what we've seen with Lebron,
Speaker 1: he is a mere mortal. You know, you can't get
Speaker 1: forty minutes out of him. I don't think that that's
Speaker 1: going to happen anymore. There be moments where he has
Speaker 1: to play. But Lebron now is different than Lebron from
Speaker 1: five years ago, four years ago, even three years ago.
Speaker 1: And I think there is a pacing about that. But
Speaker 1: that can be dangerous as well, because you've got to
Speaker 1: make sure the somebody who will step up when he's
Speaker 1: not on the floor, and it's inconsistent what you get
Speaker 1: out of those Laker role players. Anthony Davis has got
Speaker 1: to be great. This is Anthony Davis's time to shine.
Speaker 1: This is Anthony davis moment where he says, hey, I'm
Speaker 1: just as good as any player in the NBA, and
Speaker 1: he should be and can be. But Willie be. That's
Speaker 1: the big difference because he's not better than the Joker
Speaker 1: right now, and Jamal Murray is going to go toe
Speaker 1: to toe with who is ever guarding him, so they're
Speaker 1: not going to back down. They they have that confidence,
Speaker 1: and I think the bubble kind of acknowledges that or
Speaker 1: reinforces that, and that is that ability to just go
Speaker 1: out and play. Hey we're down, Okay, go out and play.
Speaker 1: But being in the bubble as opposed to traveling to
Speaker 1: Los Angeles to play. It's a big difference there, and
Speaker 1: I think you're seeing that with the younger players. All right,
Speaker 1: So Celtics down three games to one. You got Lakers,
Speaker 1: Nuggets tonight, Dolphins at the Jags coming up. Kevin Harland,
Speaker 1: the great voice NFL on Fox, will join us as well.
Speaker 1: And Fritzie was doing is Kevin Harland impersonation yesterday And
Speaker 1: we want to see if the audience can tell the
Speaker 1: difference between Fritzie doing play by play of a football
Speaker 1: game or Kevin Harland or even a basketball game. So
Speaker 1: can we get a little sample from you, Todd. He's
Speaker 1: a good sport by the way we spoke about it.
Speaker 1: He's up for a no, no no, no. That's when you
Speaker 1: just jump in and give me the third and seven
Speaker 1: on their own twelve, Russell Wilson back to pass. He's
Speaker 1: got dk metcalf the thirty forty, the fifty knocked out
Speaker 1: about at the forty four with just under a minute left.
Speaker 1: Here it comes Seattle. This is the NFL on CBS. Okay,
Speaker 1: he works on Fox, but that's okay, it's better. I
Speaker 1: think the CBS game. I don't know Fox, I don't know,
Speaker 1: all right, So how about basketball? I think basketball is
Speaker 1: more of your forte because you were sort of saying
Speaker 1: that Kevin gets excited even in the first quarter, like
Speaker 1: three minutes ten thirteen ten Miami. Bam at the foul line.
Speaker 1: He hits the first fourteen ten, the second one, oh
Speaker 1: clanks off the glass. Time out Boston. Brad Stevens want
Speaker 1: to talk about at fourteen ten Miami. This is the
Speaker 1: NBA on t nt H. It's a CBS and TNT
Speaker 1: so my bad. Actually, Pauli's bad. He NFL on Fox
Speaker 1: there the birthday boy, Pauli. He was on Fox, wasn't he?
Speaker 1: I think he wasn't probably, so he's good and everywhere. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd work on that, and you were better yesterday. I was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that wasn't on the spot, That's what it was. That
Speaker 1: was spontaneous. No, no, you you have to be ready
Speaker 1: for this. This is what we said. We'll have Kevin
Speaker 1: Harlan when I'm at my worst. And Seaton pointed that,
Speaker 1: like if it's something that like I'm leading up to
Speaker 1: and thinking about the hours or days that he vance,
Speaker 1: I'm a disaster. If all of a sudden, I just
Speaker 1: kind of riff. I'm comfortable and I'm just no one's
Speaker 1: expecting anything, and I don't feel that added pressure it is. Yeah. See,
Speaker 1: so the problem right there is you've been thinking about
Speaker 1: it too much, because then you're like you put me
Speaker 1: on the spot, which means that you're not thinking about
Speaker 1: it when you're prepared for it. Like, I don't know
Speaker 1: how this is gonna go with with Kevin, because this
Speaker 1: is like a prepared little concept or when no one's
Speaker 1: watching or listening, which is not convenient when you're in
Speaker 1: a national radio That's true. That's true. Like I think
Speaker 1: I sing a lot better in the shower if someone
Speaker 1: was to walk in, for various reasons, I'd probably get
Speaker 1: all shy. No, you don't sound as good. First of all,
Speaker 1: nobody's ever gonna walk in. They're not, no, including your wife.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen. Nobody's gonna walk in. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: have separate bathrooms, yes really, Okay, you'd like that though,
Speaker 1: but that'll be all and you're just roommates. You're not
Speaker 1: really husband or wife at that point. I don't blame her,
Speaker 1: thank you? All righty, what's full question we're going with?
Speaker 1: I went with the two twenty or sorry nineteen NBA
Speaker 1: Redraft you give you job or Ant Tyler Hero are
Speaker 1: going with this. I went with that just to see
Speaker 1: what people can say and what they say. They went
Speaker 1: with Jaw, But it's really close. All three are grouped together. Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe a little recency bias. Well, John Moran was Rookie
Speaker 1: of the Year. Zion didn't even finish second. Did he
Speaker 1: know another heat player, Kendrick Nunn, died. Yeah. Isn't that
Speaker 1: amazing If I said Zion's not going to finish first
Speaker 1: or second for Rookie of the Year.
