1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Did anybody watch this fight Logan Paul and 3 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: Floyd Mayweather. I don't know if anybody here did. I 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: just saw the highlights. I did not pay for it. 5 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: But is this the future of boxing here? Because it 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: might be getting used to it. We'll discuss that a 7 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: little bit because I've kind of changed my opinion on it. 8 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: I don't like it, but I understand it, and if 9 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: people want to watch. I always say when somebody criticizes something, well, 10 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 1: then don't watch. There are people who are going to 11 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: watch this, okay, But I was not going to pay 12 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: for it. I was not that interested in watching Floyd 13 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: Mayweather make one hundred million dollars again Logan Paul, Jake Paul, 14 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 1: Paul Bunyan. It didn't matter, Chris Paul. They could have 15 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: put them all in the ring. Didn't really matter to me. 16 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: But I understand it because there's money to be made here. 17 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: There's a market that's it, and the market is those 18 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: of you, probably four million people who paid for this fight. Yeah, Paint. 19 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: What I really want to know about this fight is 20 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,839 Speaker 1: how many sixteen year olds put this on their mom's 21 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: debit card. You're gonna answer for it, like four days 22 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 1: sixty ninety five on my debit card. Christian, I don't 23 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: know who Logan Paul and Jake Paul are. I just 24 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: know that they're really popular on YouTube. I don't know 25 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: what they do on YouTube, but they are brothers. But 26 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: I don't know what they're specialty. Are they famous for 27 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 1: being famous? They have a lot of fans. I guess 28 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: I got to ask my kids if they know who 29 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: Logan and Jake Paul do do? Does anybody know what 30 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: they do? What's their job or what's their videos? Yeah? 31 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: It's always interesting when someone's like, what do you do 32 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: for a YouTuber? Yeah? Influencer? Yes, McLeman. Do you remember 33 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: Logan Paul became really famous when he filmed a dead 34 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: Man and was very controversial on his vlog? Oh it 35 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: was that took him from the biggest vlogger to like 36 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: the first YouTube superstar. Not not a good way. Wow, 37 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: that's that's it's not admirable. Yeah, yeah, Polly. But you know, 38 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: even if you want to rip on Floyd Mayweather for 39 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: doing this and taking the money, somebody called him. Floyd 40 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,399 Speaker 1: was sitting at home and he got a phone call 41 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: six weeks ago and said, hey, we'll give you forty 42 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: million dollars for you know, twenty five minutes of work. Yeah, 43 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: and he hyped the fight. And I think there was 44 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: some some legitimacy to have Floyd in there. There was 45 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: no winners, no losers. Apparently they didn't. They didn't. You 46 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: say somebody won or somebody lost. I would say that 47 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: the logan pot. I'd say they both won. They got 48 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: what they needed, they got exposure, they got paid. Here's 49 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: Floyd Mayweather on what happened after the fight. If you 50 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: don't like him, you don't write a buy them if 51 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: you don't. If you guys don't want to see me, 52 00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: do no exhibitions, don't come, don't watch, come on record 53 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: and tell y'all when it comes to legalized bank robin, 54 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: I'm the best. That's great. That is great. I saw 55 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: where Floyd Mayweather spent one million dollars on cars for 56 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: his boys. Now I think he bought another Rolls Royce, 57 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: maybe a couple of them. But I went down the list, 58 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: somebody I think got a minivan and then like somebody 59 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: got a Dodge Challenger. There, like he went down the list. There, 60 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: Floyd got a Rolls Royce. I think somebody else got 61 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: a Rolls Royce. I think Floyd has like thirty Rolls Royces. 62 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: It's it's it's crazy. I don't know where he keeps everything. 63 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: He's probably got an airplane hanger. But Floyd, Floyd has 64 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: made money and he bought his guys. I think there 65 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: were nine cars that he bought for one million dollars. 66 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: We're way ahead of ourselves here. There's so much to 67 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: talk about today.

Clippers close out the MAVs. We'll 76 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: talk about that. Reggie Miller joins us a little bit 77 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: later on. Can you build around how do you build 78 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: around Luca don Chick If you're the MAVs, As you 79 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: move forward and is Kris stops porzingis part of that plan. 80 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 1: Hawks go up one nothing on the Sixers, Nets win, 81 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: James Harden is injured. Titans acquire Julio Jones Tonight Bucks 82 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: Nets Game two, Nuggets Sons Game one, eight seven seven 83 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: three d P show email address DP at dan Patrick 84 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: dot com, Twitter handle at dp's show, full question, play 85 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: of the day, stat of the Day forthcoming. After weeks speculation, 86 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: the Falcons finally traded Julio Jones send him to the Titans. 87 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: He's thirty two expensive, but that's not the only reason 88 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 1: why he was available. I don't think it feels like 89 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 1: the Falcons are they moving on in a different direction 90 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: with younger players, But you also have Matt Ryan, So 91 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: what kind of what kind of movement is there? It's 92 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: kind of an odd It's an odd roster for the 93 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: Falcons because I don't want Matt Ryan. If I don't 94 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: have Julio Jones, then why didn't I take Trey Lance? 95 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: Why didn't I take a young quarterback there and then 96 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: see what I could do? Could I do something with 97 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan the way the Lions did with Matthew Stafford. 98 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 1: But Jones is going to be a formidable weapon in Tennessee. 99 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: You got to focus on Derrick Henry. You got to 100 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: focus on a j Brown, who's vastly underrated, and Jones's 101 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: productions unprecedented. He's the all time leader in receiving yards 102 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: per game. So this gives you another weapon there at 103 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. You want to focus on Derek Henry. 104 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: Now you've got to deal with those wide receivers. You 105 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: want to focus on the wide receivers. Now you've got 106 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: to focus on Derrick Henry. You know, there's one thing 107 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: lacking with Julio Jones, and it is not his fault 108 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: because he had one of the He had one of 109 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: the more unbelievable catches in Super Bowl history in my opinion, 110 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: because he was going to lead the Falcons to a 111 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: Super Bowl title. He had a one handed grab that 112 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: put him in field goal range. They then screwed it 113 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: up after that. But he doesn't have that on his resume. 114 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: We don't hold wide receivers accountable when it comes, you know, 115 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,239 Speaker 1: to something like that. The Titans are an interesting team. 116 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: They're known for their defense, but they weren't a great 117 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: defense last year. Mike Vrabel. They sort of play in, 118 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: you know, with his personality, but the offense should be good, 119 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: maybe bordering on very good. But if I look at 120 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: what's going on in the AFC right now, is Tennessee 121 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 1: better than Kansas City? No? Are they better than Baltimore? 122 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: Probably not? Are they better than Buffalo? No? Are they 123 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: better than Cleveland? Maybe not. You've added Julio Jones, but 124 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: have you really moved up the totem pole here? And 125 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if they have. The defense has got 126 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: to get better because running game, running and defense is 127 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: what they do. And of all the quarterbacks that Julio 128 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: Jones is going to go to, because he wanted to 129 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: go to a quarterback who could throw deep reportedly and 130 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: that he could run under these catches, that he could 131 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: still use his speed and stretch the field, well, I 132 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: don't know if Ryan Tannehill is that guy, but I 133 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: do think with a great running game, Ryan Tannehill becomes 134 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: a really good quarterback at times really good quarterback? Is 135 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: Tannehill the best? He's not better than Mahomes, not better 136 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: than Lamar Jackson, He's not better than Josh Allen. And 137 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,679 Speaker 1: is he better than Baker Mayfield. That's up for debate. 138 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: So these are the four teams. You could probably say 139 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: those are the four teams above Tennessee right now. Now 140 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: he might say the Colts are because I can make 141 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: a strong case for the Colts. Although, man, you Colts fans, well, yeah, dudes, 142 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: give up a second round pick. Now, this is what's 143 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: being underplayed right now. I don't know if Julio Jones 144 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: wants a new contract. I'm guessing guessing he would like 145 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: to have a new contract. Remember when the report came 146 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: out that the Falcons had received a first round offer, 147 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: and I said that now that if they got one, 148 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: take it right now, because you are not getting a 149 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 1: first round pick for Julio Jones. That's what I was told. Well, 150 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: you didn't get one, and lets you go. We don't 151 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: want a first round pick. We're gonna take a second 152 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: round pick and a fourth round pick. If you could 153 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: get a first round pick for Julio Jones, take it, 154 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: take it and run. Well, they didn't have a first 155 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: round pick offer. Yes, boy, you're not insinuating the Falcons 156 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: may have used the media to get the market going 157 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: and get an offer when they never actually had a 158 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: first round offer. Dan, you wouldn't say that, I don't 159 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: want to do that again because I did that with 160 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: the Eagles, and I had one of the NFL network 161 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: reporters come after me that I basically didn't know what 162 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: I was talking about. While I did know what I 163 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: was talking about, I wasn't being used by a team. Hey, 164 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 1: can you put it out there. We're getting a lot 165 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: of calls for Carson Wentz. No you're not, No, you're not. 166 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: And with Julio Jones, I was told there were three 167 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: or four teams that were involved in this that were 168 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: interested with him. I don't know those teams. I was 169 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: just told there at least three, maybe a fourth team. 170 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: But the Falcons had no leverage here. They had to 171 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: move him. I mean, this is a team that's in 172 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: salary cap hell and all right, so they traded him. 173 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: What's that pick going to be like the fifty eighth 174 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: pick of the second round? All right? And does he 175 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: want a new contract? Those are things that always interest me. 176 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins wanted out of Houston. He also wanted a 177 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: new contract. Hey, they didn't get up anything for DeAndre Hopkins. Yeah, 178 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: they still had to be him twenty million dollars a year. 179 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: I thought maybe if Aaron Rodgers would have restructured his 180 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: deal and maybe you could have got him in Green Bay. 181 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: Starting to hear more and more about you know, Peter King, 182 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: Rob Demovsky, who covers the Packers for the Mothership. They 183 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: both feel like Aaron Rodgers is done in Green Bay. 184 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be holding out. I'll be the last holdout 185 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: here that Rogers still stays because at some point, even 186 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: though he may not like a GM, he does understand 187 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: my best chance to win a championship and get elevated 188 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: into you one two super Bowls is with Green Bay. 189 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: The preseason workouts starting four and a half weeks. Games 190 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: start in four and a half weeks. Practices in two weeks, 191 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: games in four and a half weeks. At some point 192 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers truly wants out, He should say I want out, 193 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: and then you're if you're the Packers, he wants out, 194 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: We're gonna trade you. Is it that big a deal? 195 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: Have we made it a bigger deal? Does Aaron Rodgers 196 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: truly one out? Because at some point he's got to 197 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: get acclimated to his new team and the Packers have 198 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: to move on. It feels like they're both playing Russian 199 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 1: Roulette and they keep adding, you know, shells to that gun, 200 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,439 Speaker 1: like you just at some point move on. If he's 201 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: not going to stay. You don't think he's gonna stay. 202 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: They make the best deal for you, all right? Eight 203 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: seven seven three d P show email address DP and 204 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: Dan Patrick dot com Twitter handle a DP show. What 205 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: is the poll question today? Amy club? Okay, we have 206 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: so many different options that appreciate. Debate was about boxing? 207 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: Does that celebrity fighting stuff water down the real sport 208 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 1: of boxing? Well? What is the real sport of boxing? 209 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:07,559 Speaker 1: Tyson Fury? The heavyweights keep on messing up all the matchups? 210 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 1: Josh is Triple G still relevant? What is he around? 211 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: How old is he? He's like thirty seven? Yeah? Yeah, 212 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: So I don't know what the sport of boxing is 213 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: right now, because if you like who, you focus on who, 214 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: Who's must see TV? Who's must see pay per view? 215 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: Right now? It doesn't feel like it's any of these 216 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: boxers that we're we're mentioning here. Yeah. See it does 217 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: feel kind of weak though, as I don't even know 218 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: as a casual fan of boxing, right to watch one 219 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: of the all time greats not be able to knock 220 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: out the YouTuber feels kind of lame. It kind of 221 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: feels like, so this is what boxing is? This awesome, 222 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: like Hall of Famer, one legendary fighter can't knock out 223 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: the YouTube guy. I think he chose to not knock 224 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: him out. Now, I'm going to give Logan Paul credit 225 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: whether Floyd carried him. He's still in the ring with 226 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: one of the greatest fighters of all time. Granted he's 227 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: in his what mid forties, but I thought this guy 228 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: can't fight who's in there, but gave us the impression 229 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: that he could. I mean, he's not a boxer at all. 230 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: He's slow, he's not polished at all. I mean, he 231 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: caught Floyd one time, and I give him credit for that, 232 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: but I mean, you got twenty years younger, You got 233 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: what thirty pounds on Floyd. If you get in there, 234 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: all right, just start swinging any He would swing like 235 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: my younger brother would whenever we'd get in a fight. 236 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: He would just lower his head and just start using 237 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: both of his hands and just start slapping. And I 238 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: just thought Floyd was being very nice sort of what 239 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: Floyd did to Canna McGregor, and let me let me 240 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: stretch this out a little bit. It would be bad 241 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: for business. If Floyd just came out and by the way, 242 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: Floyd doesn't knock anybody out. He's just a brilliant defensive strategist. 243 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, you just don't think though, when he's facing 244 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: the YouTube guy. Yeah, maybe that would be the time 245 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: he'd show off a little bit instead of going back 246 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: into his defensive position. Let's just I'm gonna outlast him. Really, Okay, 247 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: I still think Floyd could have beaten Logan and Jake 248 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: Paul at the same time. That's the next match up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Paul. 249 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: This thing is so choreographed and produced. There's no next 250 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: fight for these guys if they don't make the first 251 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: fight interesting. Floyd Mayweather is in on the fix. This 252 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: is you just keep the guy upright, you bounce around 253 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: a little bit. If and then now, when whichever Paul 254 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: brother fought yesterday wants to fight another person another, there's 255 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: gonna be another fifty million dollars pay day, because if 256 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: it's a thirty second knockdown, no one's buying the next one. 257 00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: This is the long game. There's a long time. How 258 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: about Logan Paul versus Jake Paul. Then I'm interested, But 259 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: I think Jake Paul called out Triple G and said 260 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: that nobody buys your fights. I'll own you. I don't 261 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: know what that means, but yeah, this is this is 262 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: here to stay. I mean Chad Ocho Cinco, did you 263 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: see him boxing? He got popped though he won, I 264 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: think he won the first three rounds. Then he got 265 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: popped on the chin and went down. Did he get 266 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: a standing Ocho count? Oh? Okay, it's early. It's Earaly 267 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: plus PAULI plus one. Yes, So that I just looked 268 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: up the most luquid at boxing fighting Like the last 269 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: five years. It was Tyson versus Roy Jones Jr. This 270 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: is all we're gonna have is gimmicks. I mean, that's 271 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: the only fight that's beaten it. That's the only time 272 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: they've beaten UFC in a year was Tysons Roy Jones. 273 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: But if you have a younger audience that doesn't remember 274 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: what a big spectacle boxing was and big fights and 275 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: you had great fighters, then it's the novelty of this. Hey, 276 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: fifty bucks, I get an evening of this. I get 277 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: to see you know, Logan, Paul Jake, Paul, Floyd Mayweather. 278 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: You know, is it gimmicky? Yeah? So it was wrestling. 279 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: People watch it, Yeah, Paul, I don't really think this 280 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: affects boxing at all. I would bet that the people 281 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: who bought the Paul Mayweather fight are ninety five percent 282 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: not boxing fans, not rega boxing fans. Yeah, and the 283 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: boxing is a good sport. It's not what it was 284 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: in the seventies eighties and never will be. It's not 285 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: MMA or UFC because that's kind of taken over. But 286 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: boxing does well. I can name twenty boxers and it's 287 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: a good sport that's on showtime and ESPN, but it's 288 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: never gonna be what we remember. Like, nothing's like it 289 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: was in the seventies and eighties. Boxing kind of looked 290 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: up and said, wait, what happened to the sport because 291 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: of USC And now it's still trying to figure out. 292 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: It's trying to It's like you got a standing eight 293 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: count and you're kind of wobbling a little bit here, 294 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: and you're trying to get to a neutral corner just 295 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: to kind of figure out, all, right, what direction are 296 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: we headed in? Is this the direction? Because people are 297 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 1: making money here and I you know, I was very 298 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: fortunate to cover boxing back in the eighties and I 299 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: got to see some of the great fighters. And I 300 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: got to go to these events and they were true events, 301 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: whether it was Mike Tyson fighting, or Vander Holyfield fighting, 302 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: Alexis Argueo, Aaron pryor Tommy Hearns, Vito Lana Firmo, Marvis Marvelous, 303 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,679 Speaker 1: Marvin Hagler, I got I got to Sugar Ray Leonard, 304 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: got to see those fights. So when it comes to 305 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: something like this, I feel bad for the sport because 306 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: it used to be important and now it's gimmicky. I mean, 307 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: is it getting headlines yes? Is it advancing the sport 308 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 1: in the answer is no, yes, McLeman. Maybe they need 309 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 1: like a new young star, like like a twenty year 310 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 1: old Tyson to come in and these all these guys 311 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: we mentioned Canalo, How are you getting a young Where 312 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: are you getting young Mike Tyson from? I don't know. 313 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: He might go to MMA. You're right, that's probably what 314 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: would happen because that's where the money is. And understand 315 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 1: what happened and how Mike was created. I mean, Mike 316 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: was a great story. Uh you know, he was a 317 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 1: troubled youth. Uh you know, custom Otto, legendary boxer takes 318 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 1: him under his Wing and they live, you know, upstate 319 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: New York, and they set up all of these fighters 320 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 1: for him to knock them out. He didn't fight anybody 321 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: who was a big name, and the two big names 322 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: that he fought were Vander Holyfield and Uh Lewis. And 323 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: he didn't do well against boxers. He was a one 324 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: punch artist, and if it went past the second or 325 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: third round, you know, then you saw Mike just become normal. 326 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: But at first round he was knocking people out. I 327 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: was there ringside for two of them, when Michael Spins 328 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: got in there, and Michael Spins was a quality light heavyweight, 329 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: had no business being in the ring with Mike, and 330 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: then Joe Frazier's son Marvis had no business being in there. 331 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: So that way, you were there for long then no, 332 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: it was not no, no, didn't even get a beer. 333 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: But Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield frustrated Mike, and can 334 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: you create somebody who's going to be knocking people out? Well, 335 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: Don King was brilliant at doing that. He created this 336 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: sort of phenomenon in Mike Mike Tyson.

You can also see him as a 342 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 1: contributor to Around the Horn. Pardon the Interruption was on 343 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 1: site at the Nets game on Saturday night as we 344 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: watched James Harden make a cameo appearance and then head 345 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: to the locker room. Frank, thanks for joining us. What 346 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 1: can we expect with James Harden or what did you 347 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: find out about that injury? Yeah, he lasted forty three seconds. 348 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: You didn't see him again. I thought it was interesting 349 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: after the game. I once had a guy tell me 350 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 1: when I first started covering sports, a guy from the 351 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: New York Times. He said, never under play an injury. 352 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 1: And after games, if a guy's not hurt, the team 353 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: will always say it's not that bad. If it's a 354 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: bad injury, they'll always say, no, we don't really know. 355 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: And after the game, that's what you were kind of 356 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,360 Speaker 1: getting from the Brooklyn Nets. And then Steve Nest said, 357 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: I'm heartbroken for James. Why would you be heartbroken for 358 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 1: him if he's going to come back anytime soon. And 359 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: then Kevin Durant made it. See Mike, it's going to 360 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 1: be a long term thing. Just remember this, Dan, when 361 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: Harden got same hamstring right, a hamstring injury, he was 362 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: out from April seventh until May twelfth, So that, you know, 363 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 1: that should kind of give you some indication of where 364 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 1: this could be. Yeah, I was wondering about that, the 365 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: severity he knew right away. But I've said this the 366 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. Whether it was Lebron's ankle, it 367 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: was AD's groin, it was Harden's hamstring. These injuries don't 368 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: go away. They linger, you manage them. Maybe they cooled 369 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 1: down a little bit, but if Lebron kept playing, that 370 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: ankle would be a problem at some point in the playoffs. 371 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: And I think with Anthony Davis the groin injury was 372 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: not going to go away, and the same thing with 373 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: James Harden, and I just don't know. It sounded like 374 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 1: it's far more severe than at least it looked because 375 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: he just sort of went up felt it. I'm gone. 376 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's going to be out as 377 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 1: long as he was before, because a lot of that 378 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: could have been just precautionary, yes, but this is now. 379 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: You know, Now you got the Milwaukee Bucks, and if 380 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: the Bucks win tonight, you know, at some point, you know, 381 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: can you say to James Harden, we need you. I know, 382 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: you know, the probably the most famous hamstring injury in 383 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,719 Speaker 1: the playoffs, I guess would be magic when they played Detroit, 384 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: when Detroit won its first title and he was unable 385 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: to play. I also think you're right about the idea 386 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: that they did hold them out for that long stretch 387 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 1: because they knew that they were sitting in a good position, 388 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: they were either going to finish second or third, and 389 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,239 Speaker 1: that James Harden would eventually return. I don't know if 390 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: we're going to see him again in this series, and 391 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: that could be an issue. Now. Mike James, who began 392 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: the season in Russia, took those minutes. He played thirty 393 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,360 Speaker 1: minutes in Game one he had twelve points. Chris Middleton 394 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: had thirteen. So Mike James, coming off the bencheck guy 395 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: that nobody's even heard of, you did a really good job. 396 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: But I wonder how to me they could still win 397 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 1: if it's Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. That's how good 398 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: those two players are, but the road to winning a 399 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: championship just became that much hardup for the Brooklyn Nets. 400 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: We've been talking about Luca don Chick and that whatever 401 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 1: that relationship or lack thereof is with Chris Stops Sporzingis. 402 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: You covered him when he was with the Knicks, and 403 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: he was a big deal literally and figuratively with the Knicks. 404 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: We thought Tim Hardaway Junior was the throw in on 405 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: that trade. It feels like he's the better player out 406 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 1: of this. What does Dallas do with Luca and as 407 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 1: Kristaps Porzingi is going to be in that equation, Yeah, 408 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: I would have to think there's a possibility that they 409 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: could look to move Chris Steps. He needs to get stronger, 410 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: not really his upper body strength, it really needs to 411 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 1: be his core because he gets pushed out of the 412 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: block too easily. Defensively, he's not strong enough. Yes, he 413 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: can knock down shots, and if you look at what 414 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: he did yesterday his two points, I think he ended 415 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 1: up going six for seven on two is the problem 416 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: was he could knock down to three. He needs to 417 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: get better. I definitely think there's a bit of a 418 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: rivalry there and I think Kris Steps needs to come 419 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: to the realization that Luca is the start of the team. 420 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 1: I think we automatically assume, well, there're two guys from Europe, 421 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: so obviously they must get along. I don't think that's 422 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 1: been the case. You could see the dynamic there. It's 423 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: not great. Now. You don't have to be the best 424 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: of friends, you know, to be successful, But on the court, 425 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: that chemistry isn't good between the two of them. The 426 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: Hawks take Game one. If I said to the Hawks, 427 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: you could do a do over and you get Ka 428 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: don Chick and Trey Young's in Dallas, Atlanta does that 429 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: in a second. Atlanta would never admit it publicly, but 430 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 1: they would take Luca don chech And that's the thing. 431 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: I think. Trey Young has been great to me. He's 432 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: been the breakout star of this playoffs. But Luca is 433 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: just at a different level. You know. It's like the 434 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: other night at Barkley Center, You're watching Kevin Durant and 435 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 1: you look at Janis and Tetakompo and the honest is 436 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,239 Speaker 1: everything that you'd wanted a player, just his dedication, how 437 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 1: much he wants to improve. But he's a two time 438 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: MVP in the league. But Kevin Durant is just at 439 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: a different level. Just look at the shots that he makes, 440 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: the plays that he can make for other players. You 441 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: love Jannis, but Kevin Durant is better. You love Trey Young, 442 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: Luca don Chich and plus the size of Luca don 443 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: Chich is a factor as well, is Ben Simmon. Did 444 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: we overrate Ben Simmons? Are we waiting for him to 445 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 1: be the next Magic Johnson and he's never going to 446 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: be the next Magic Johnson? I think that part is fair. 447 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: I think we do tend to focus on the things 448 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: that he can do, which is shoot three porters. I 449 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,880 Speaker 1: think needs to get better, clearly shooting the free throws. 450 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: He was three for ten. It's the same thing with 451 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: Anteta Coopo. Everyone focuses on threes. They get fouled, they 452 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: go to the line, knock down the free throw. So 453 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,120 Speaker 1: you get to these points in a game where it 454 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: looks like Ben Simmons doesn't want the ball and he 455 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 1: doesn't want to attack the basket because he's worried about 456 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 1: getting fouled. So I don't care about the three pointers, 457 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 1: but he needs to get better shooting from the free 458 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: throw line. But he can dominate on both ends. Of 459 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: the court. He's big. I still think he's going to 460 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: get better. You could tell that it's weighing on his 461 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,400 Speaker 1: mind though, getting fouled, the fans, getting into people talking 462 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 1: about his three point shooting. You could tell that it's 463 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 1: wearing on him a bet. Well, you saw that with 464 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: Lonzo Ball, that he would be on the perimeter and 465 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 1: he could take a three pointer, or he could take 466 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 1: like a twenty footer and he would just get They 467 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: would just let him alone, and you played with him, 468 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 1: and now he became a little bit better. But he 469 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 1: couldn't have been that much worse. I just Ben Simmons 470 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,919 Speaker 1: can't be a liability late in the game, I know, 471 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: And you could play off of him. So when they're 472 00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: looking to get back in the game and you watch 473 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 1: the last side, he's dribbling down the court, you could 474 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: lay off of him. You know that he's looking to 475 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,919 Speaker 1: pass the ball to somebody else, so he's end up 476 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: passing the ball to a guy that isn't on his 477 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: level as a player. But Ben's not even thinking about 478 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: shooting three points. It's a hurdle that he needs to 479 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 1: get over. Again. I don't mind that he doesn't attempt 480 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: ten a game, but you might want to take two 481 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: or three a game because you're open and you always 482 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: have the ball in your hands. What do you think 483 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: the Lakers do in the offseason. I mean health is 484 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: going to have a lot to do with it, you know, 485 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: with Lebron and Anthony Davis. But it was interesting here 486 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: and Magic Johnson come out and destroying Dennis Shrewder. This happened. 487 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: That to me is an American sports phenomenon. We always 488 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,679 Speaker 1: start blaming like the fourth, fifth, and sixth best player, 489 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,239 Speaker 1: like it's their fault, and it wasn't Anthony Davis being 490 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: hurt and Lebron James because when you look on paper 491 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: when they made those moves, you thought Shrewder was an 492 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: upgrade over Rondo just from a youth standpoint. Obviously has 493 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: a lot more left in the tank. Manchesz Harold was 494 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 1: a big time disappointment. So even Drummond, remember when they 495 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: picked up Drummond Dan, everyone thought, well, this is unfair. 496 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 1: How come the Lakers are allowed to get a guy 497 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: like this. So in the biggest game maybe their season, 498 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 1: when Anthony Davis was on one leg, Andre Drummond doesn't 499 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: even doesn't even end up playing. So they need to 500 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: do a better job of filling those roster spots. Shrewder 501 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: will be the big one, because maybe what they can 502 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: do with him is use him and a sign and 503 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,439 Speaker 1: trade to bring back a player if they don't want 504 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: him anymore. We had Jalen Rose on last week and 505 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: he was so accurate in saying this that in the offseason, 506 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 1: a player when he's might leave be traded signed with somebody. 507 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 1: He's either going to Lakers or the Knicks. And then 508 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 1: you know, Damian Lillard's name came up, and then all 509 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's like, could the Knicks get Damian 510 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: Lillard here? What's the likelihood that Damian Lillard is on 511 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: another team next year? I still think with three years 512 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: left on his contract, I'm still trying to build around him, 513 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 1: and a lot of times they obviously have already announced 514 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: that Terry Stots is out, so bringing a new coach 515 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 1: could change things around. I'm not trading him unless I 516 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: get blown away. Think about how many first round picks 517 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: New Orleans got for Drew Holliday. Think about all the 518 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: first round picks the Houston Rockets got for James Harden. 519 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: If you're making a deal, yes, first round picks are 520 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: going to be a part of it, which is something 521 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: that the Knicks have. But you want to get a 522 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 1: player back as well. I think eventually it could happen. 523 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: I don't think this summer. I'm keeping Damian Lillar on 524 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 1: my team. Did the Knicks have a successful season, definitely 525 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: they did. Look at look at the teams they finished 526 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: ahead of Atlanta on a tiebreaker Miami. Their talents not 527 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: better than those teams. Their talents not better than the 528 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 1: Boston Celtics. So the Knicks overachieved during the regular season, 529 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 1: Dan because Tom Thibodeau in the league where not all 530 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 1: the teams and all the stars played hard every night, 531 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 1: The Knicks played hard every single night. I think Randall 532 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: played seventy or seventy one game, so he was out 533 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 1: there all the time. But then you saw Julius Randall 534 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Look at all the best teams, whether 535 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: it's Donovan Mitchell with Utah, Devin Booker with the Phoenix Suns, 536 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: all the star players on those individual teams all had 537 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: good performances in the playoffs. Julius Randall scored ninety points 538 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: in five games. Trey Young scored ninety eight points at 539 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden alone. So Julie's Randall, the guy that 540 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: carried them, wasn't ready for the moment. But you know 541 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: the dangerous part is now the Knicks have expectations. That's right, 542 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 1: Like you know, it's been decades since they've had expectations, 543 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:18,239 Speaker 1: and in that city, as you well know, it can 544 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: be pretty tough sledding when they expect you now to 545 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: be a good team, A top four, top five seeded team. Yeah, 546 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: they were the little engine that could. The owner stays 547 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: out of it. Now next season, everyone's gonna look at 548 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: Tom Tibot. I would say, all right, now what Tom, 549 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: we got the fourth seed. You didn't win a playoff series, 550 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: so now all the pressure is on you. For me, 551 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 1: the pressure is on the front office during the off 552 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: season because the roster was essentially the same except for 553 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: adding a couple of rookies. And then they went out 554 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: and got Derek Rose, who was a backup in Detroit 555 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: and became really their best player during the playoffs. So 556 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: the front office, which kind of stood pat, really didn't 557 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: spend a lot of money. The Knicks were well under 558 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: the salary cap. It's up to them somehow to find 559 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: a start which is not easy to do. That's why 560 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: that's why a lot of people in the organization wanted 561 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: Gordon Hayward because those players don't become available that often. 562 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: Because remember Dan, before the season began, it was the stream. Well, 563 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 1: maybe Janess and Teakumpo will sign with the Knicks as 564 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: a free agent. Then he ends up resigning with the 565 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks. A lot of these players end up resigning. 566 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: So when a guy like that is available, you try 567 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: to go for it. He ends up going to Charlotte. 568 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: I get that he's hurt, but he's still a talented player. Somehow, 569 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: the Knicks have to improve their talent because Atlanti's talent 570 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: was better than the New York Knicks talent. Would you 571 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: trade Chris thomps Porzingis for Ben Simmons? Who would you? 572 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: If I were Dallas, I would do it. I'm not 573 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: so sure. If I were Philly, I would do it 574 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: because he's still six ft nine, can handle the ball 575 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: and could defend. And here's the other thing, it's durability. 576 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: And I like Chris Stapps, but if you can't stand 577 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: in the court, you're not doing me any good. And 578 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,479 Speaker 1: they already have a guy in embiid I had an 579 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: MVP boat. I did not put him beat in my 580 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: top five because he only played in fifty one games. 581 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: I mean, come on now, I think the guy's terrific. 582 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: But you know, availability is important as well as production. 583 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: That's why Yokich, who played in twenty one more games 584 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: then embeat. I don't even think it's an argument. Yeah, 585 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: I don't have a vote anymore, but I said I 586 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: could not vote for James Harden because of what he 587 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 1: did in Houston. I just I love watching him, but 588 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: what he did do that franchise, he showed up out 589 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: of shape. He built a roster, then dismantled a roster, 590 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: and then wanted out. And I can't reward you because 591 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: you forced your way out to go to the nets 592 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: and you played well. I expect him to play well, 593 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 1: but he you know, he really damaged a franchise in 594 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: the process he did. And I didn't like the way 595 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: that he handled his departure from there. And I think 596 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 1: you're one hundred percent right. You know, as a professional, 597 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: you need to show up a on time, which he didn't, 598 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: in shape, which he did. Then there were stories that 599 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 1: the owner was trying to contact him during the off season, 600 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: was going to turn in the calls. If I go 601 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: one day without returning my boss's call, there's a good 602 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: chance I won't be working there anymore. Meanwhile, you're getting 603 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: paid like twenty thirty million dollars. You should return when 604 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: the call of your owner. I did have him neck 605 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: and neck with Yokich, and then I was kind of 606 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: taken off the hook by the fact that he got hurt. 607 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: I didn't vote for anybody in my top five who 608 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: did not play at least sixty games. To me, that 609 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: was the cutoff. I can't vote for guys playing like 610 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: Invad fifty one. I think Lebron was about between what 611 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 1: was it, forty eight or fifty three games, So that 612 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 1: to me, you have to play in the games. Come on, 613 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: we have to have some standard when we're voting for 614 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: these awards. Thank you, Frank, great to talk to you. 615 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: Good talking to day.

It's it's 653 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,839 Speaker 1: a little different. What if I put you in there 654 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 1: against Hyson Prince. I see he's a nice guy, okay, 655 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,799 Speaker 1: but but he didn't. Wait, you know, I'm trying to 656 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: get or say, how would you do against Muggsie Bogues. 657 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 1: Muggsie might get me? You know, I know Muggie might 658 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:58,479 Speaker 1: get me, but but you didn't. You're not a fighter, right, 659 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 1: You're an agitator. Say but I did have my share 660 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: of scraps while I played um just trying to create 661 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: space for myself. But I am not a fighter. I'm 662 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: a lover. As m Jay said in that video with 663 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 1: Paul McCartney, I'm not a fighter, I'm a lover. Oh, 664 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 1: I thought you're talking about Michael Jordan. I was thinking 665 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,720 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan was in a video with Nocartney. No, Michael Jackson. 666 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: Paul McCartney say, say, say, how would it go if 667 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: you and Michael Jordan got in the ring. It wouldn't 668 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 1: go well for me. It wouldn't you go to well 669 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:40,359 Speaker 1: for me? Yeah. I would always tell these guys like 670 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 1: Chad Ocho Cinco actually did pretty well the first three rounds, 671 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: keep your gloves up. Yeah, just that day because you 672 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 1: get tired and these guys dropped their gloves or they 673 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 1: want to act like their Ali and you know they're 674 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: gonna dance or sugar Ray Leonard, I'm like, keep your glove. 675 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 1: Boom gets tagged right on the jaw. What was great 676 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 1: about that is after his knockdown, when he got out, 677 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 1: I he was a little delirious when he was trying 678 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:08,719 Speaker 1: to give him a high still kind of stubbled. We 679 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 1: laughed at that, but we don't know the level of 680 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: pain that Chad was going through him, right, He doesn't 681 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 1: want to give him a high five. What's the best 682 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 1: title fight that you've ever witnessed in person? I would 683 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 1: probably have to say because it was a spectacle. I'm 684 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 1: gonna go with Floyd and Manny just for the simple 685 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: fact there was so much hype that was leading up 686 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 1: to it and it merged pop culture the sport of 687 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 1: boxing together because it was an event. It just wasn't 688 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 1: a boxing match. It was an event. And to have 689 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 1: ringside seats to be a part of that and feel 690 00:36:56,239 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 1: the atmosphere because there's it's something different from a prize 691 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 1: fight then running out of a tunnel for an NBA game. 692 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 1: The atmosphere because you have betting sides, you have guys 693 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:15,320 Speaker 1: that are solely on Floyd, that were solely on Manny, 694 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 1: and it was hype. So to be a part of 695 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: that was kind of cool. We're talking to Reggie Miller. 696 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 1: Reg will be on the call. It's a Nuggets Sons 697 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 1: game one Western Conference Finals that will be semi finals, 698 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: that will be a ten Eastern on t NT. Let 699 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,399 Speaker 1: me start with the James Harden interview, or at least 700 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 1: that conversation of he goes off the floor and it 701 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:45,320 Speaker 1: didn't look terrible but Steve Nash said he felt horrible, 702 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 1: like like this was big news, bad news. But James 703 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,280 Speaker 1: didn't give us the impression that this might be something 704 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,759 Speaker 1: where he's not even playing in this series. What did 705 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: you take away from that moment? Well, again, only an 706 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,360 Speaker 1: athlete will know his body his or her body. The 707 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,439 Speaker 1: best UM to me, what it sounded like is this 708 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:09,319 Speaker 1: is something that's kind of been an ongoing Obviously, he's 709 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:13,439 Speaker 1: had issues with his hamstrings this season where he's reaggravated them, 710 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 1: but it looks like leading up to this that it 711 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,839 Speaker 1: was still on the fringe of something being wrong and 712 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 1: for it to happen that quickly in the beginning of 713 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 1: Game one. UM hamstrings, groins, what Anthony Davis had, Those 714 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 1: are things that are that take time to recover from. UM. 715 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,360 Speaker 1: I would not be surprised if he probably misses this 716 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 1: series and if they're fortunate to get to the Conference 717 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,520 Speaker 1: finals he comes back for that. But on the flip side, 718 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:46,359 Speaker 1: because of physical therapy and treatment, UM, if he can 719 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: come back by gains four or five, that wouldn't surprise 720 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 1: me as well. But you know it's gonna ling, is 721 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,719 Speaker 1: that it's gonna stay with him the rest of this 722 00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 1: postseason and his type of gain, which is short explosive moves. 723 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 1: That's all hamstrings, that's all growing. So it's all connected. 724 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,719 Speaker 1: I feel for them because you know, to me, they 725 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,839 Speaker 1: are it's theirs to lose down. Even with him going down, 726 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,840 Speaker 1: they still have Kyrie, they still have Katie. To me, 727 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 1: it's still theirs to lose. But you want to be 728 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:22,759 Speaker 1: a part of that, you know, And he is a 729 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,880 Speaker 1: big and huge part of the success of the Nets 730 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: and you would like to see him out there. Everything 731 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:33,319 Speaker 1: okay with the Clippers now that they've moved on, No, 732 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 1: it's not. It's great that they advanced, but there's a 733 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: lot of questions and just because they got by the 734 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,600 Speaker 1: Dallas amount Ofvericks and Luca in the first round, what's 735 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,919 Speaker 1: waiting for them is the best passing and shooting team 736 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 1: in the NBA, in the Utah Jazz. So they kind 737 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 1: of wanted this because they thought that they were they 738 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 1: were going to avoid the Lakers and how the Lakers 739 00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,919 Speaker 1: are out, but you're going to get a very day 740 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 1: injurious offensive weapon in the Utah Jazz. No one has 741 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:08,280 Speaker 1: given them credit. Their only loss was when Donovan Mitchell 742 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,520 Speaker 1: did not play in game one versus Memphis. They go 743 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 1: off and run four straight against Memphis if they shoot 744 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 1: the ball. The problem with Dallas was Luca and at 745 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 1: times Hardaway was really the only offensive weapons for the Mavericks. 746 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: The Jazz have four or five guys that can flat 747 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:32,399 Speaker 1: out shoot the basketball. They spread you out. This could 748 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 1: be a very tough and long series for the Clippers. 749 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:40,920 Speaker 1: How do you build around Luca? It's very difficult because 750 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 1: he's ball dominant, and that's not a bad thing, you know. 751 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,479 Speaker 1: You look at the fourteen assists last night. I mean 752 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,920 Speaker 1: he was not only was he scoring, but he was 753 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:53,399 Speaker 1: setting up his teammates as well. It's difficult because you've 754 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 1: got to find bigs that can stretch the floor, that 755 00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 1: can play in the high pick and roll. And that's 756 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,400 Speaker 1: why you Porzingis was a perfect fit for them. That 757 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 1: should be your go to money play, Porzingis Luca, end 758 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,239 Speaker 1: of game. How are you going to play that? You 759 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:12,399 Speaker 1: switch Luca can kill the biggs, or you could put 760 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 1: Porzingis someone in the post. But Porzingis has been very 761 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:19,440 Speaker 1: disappointed all season. To me, he was injury plagued. So 762 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,520 Speaker 1: I don't know how you build around him because it's 763 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,319 Speaker 1: not like they need a point guard because he is 764 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,799 Speaker 1: the point guard on that team. You need biggs that 765 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:31,319 Speaker 1: can stretch the floor and shoot. Would you keep Porzingis 766 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,480 Speaker 1: Personally No. I would see what I can get for him, 767 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 1: but it depends on what I'm going to get in return. 768 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,799 Speaker 1: For him to say that he felt that his role 769 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 1: was diminished or they didn't use him, well, he had 770 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:53,200 Speaker 1: plenty of opportunities to be to make an imprint in 771 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:57,040 Speaker 1: this in that series, and he didn't. Especially you know 772 00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,400 Speaker 1: when they went up three two going home. That to me, 773 00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 1: that was the series right there. They weren't going to 774 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,520 Speaker 1: close it out at home. Being up three two, then 775 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,440 Speaker 1: it was gonna be very difficult to win Game seven. 776 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 1: In Staples, who's the best player in the NBA? I 777 00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 1: will always go with a healthy Lebron James as the 778 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 1: best player, just for the simple fact that he does everything. 779 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:27,680 Speaker 1: Even now healthy I said, I mean before he went 780 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,320 Speaker 1: down with the ankle injury. He was in the discussion 781 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 1: for the NBP. He was one of the top three 782 00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:36,239 Speaker 1: candidates before the ankle injury. I mean, he's gonna give 783 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,719 Speaker 1: you twenty five, eight and eight. I mean I will 784 00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:43,839 Speaker 1: take that plus what he what he does lifting up 785 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 1: his teammates. But I mean there's for Luca though, Red 786 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:53,320 Speaker 1: serious continuers for the crown. Luca, I mean what Stephan 787 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 1: has done at thirty two soon to be thirty three, 788 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,640 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, I mean there's there, there's a lot of 789 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:04,320 Speaker 1: guys coming for that crown. Jannis a two time MVP, 790 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,799 Speaker 1: but he has flaws in my opinion, I mean, it's 791 00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,319 Speaker 1: hard for me to say he's the best player when 792 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:14,319 Speaker 1: there's serious flaws in his game. The MVP this year, 793 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be Yokich. You know, we're 794 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:22,080 Speaker 1: gonna see him tonight versus DeAndre Ayton, which I'm excited 795 00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,759 Speaker 1: to see an up and coming young center versus the 796 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 1: potential MVP. And then Joel MP has a torment niscus 797 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,919 Speaker 1: and goes out and gets thirty nine in Game one 798 00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,759 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. Right, So there are serious guys for the 799 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 1: crown of that best player in the league, Dan, but 800 00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:44,839 Speaker 1: a healthy Lebron James at thirty five, thirty six, it's 801 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,040 Speaker 1: hard to shy away from that. Who do you like 802 00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:53,719 Speaker 1: in your series? No good sons. You would think that 803 00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,680 Speaker 1: Denver has the edge because they have experienced they were 804 00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:01,000 Speaker 1: in the Conference finals last year versus the Lakers. They 805 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,879 Speaker 1: understand how to win tough series, being down three one 806 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,040 Speaker 1: twice last year in the bubble finding ways to win. 807 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,440 Speaker 1: But something is growing here in the Desert. Montie Williams 808 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:15,560 Speaker 1: just has these guys clicked in and with the injury 809 00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,279 Speaker 1: to Chris Baul, I thought that series was over if 810 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:19,960 Speaker 1: he wasn't gonna be able to come back and be helpful, 811 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:24,640 Speaker 1: but Cameron Payne was fantastic off the bench. Jay Crowder 812 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 1: has found his shot. He was two of twenty from 813 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,200 Speaker 1: threes in the first three games of that series, when 814 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 1: twelve or twenty the rest of the way is toughness. 815 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,880 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a very difficult series. 816 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,359 Speaker 1: But I have Phoenix winning in seven. But you could 817 00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,600 Speaker 1: make a case for Denver as well as seven. But 818 00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,120 Speaker 1: I think this is going to distance between these two teams. 819 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:52,480 Speaker 1: Jake Crowder is not afraid of Lebron James, No, like 820 00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:56,319 Speaker 1: he gets right in his faith. It's almost as if 821 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,960 Speaker 1: he says to Lebron, what are you gonna do? Because 822 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,880 Speaker 1: I'm not afraid of you. It's that's interesting because you 823 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:07,279 Speaker 1: normally don't see somebody step up to somebody like that. 824 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:08,960 Speaker 1: I mean, think of all the great players in the 825 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,160 Speaker 1: game and the history of the game, like who stood 826 00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,719 Speaker 1: up right in somebody's face and basically is trying to 827 00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:18,840 Speaker 1: emasculate you, like Jay Crowder wants Lebron to know, I 828 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,319 Speaker 1: don't care who you are, I'm going to be right 829 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 1: here the whole time. And I think that gave the 830 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:30,920 Speaker 1: inexperience other than Chris Paul the inexperienced Son's life juice, 831 00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,839 Speaker 1: and I think it's going to be that toughness. That 832 00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,760 Speaker 1: is why they will prevail in seven games versus Denver. 833 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,000 Speaker 1: People don't have a pickup series between these two, but 834 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:48,319 Speaker 1: to me, the key will be DeAndre Ayden versus jo 835 00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,759 Speaker 1: Who can get the other center in foul trouble. If 836 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:56,760 Speaker 1: Aiden is in foul trouble advantaged Denver, Denver wins a series. 837 00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,680 Speaker 1: If Aiden can stay out of foul trouble and stay 838 00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,840 Speaker 1: on the floor and play yokis one on one and 839 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:07,000 Speaker 1: neutralize them, which is easier said than done, and you 840 00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:10,440 Speaker 1: could stay home with the shooters advantage Sons. Sons win 841 00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:14,319 Speaker 1: the series. We were talking about this earlier. Mclovin thinks 842 00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,600 Speaker 1: that Trey Young, you know, you can't put your hands on. 843 00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,160 Speaker 1: You can't rough him up. You know in today's NBA 844 00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:23,120 Speaker 1: that if you're playing, when you played like Trey Young, 845 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,800 Speaker 1: will be put on his butt a couple of times 846 00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:29,920 Speaker 1: in a series. But is so the NBA is basically 847 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,720 Speaker 1: saying that we don't want this to ever happen again. 848 00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,920 Speaker 1: We want to protect our players. We don't want guys 849 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,719 Speaker 1: getting knocked down. You know, there's no Jordan rules here, 850 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,560 Speaker 1: there's no bad boys with the pistons. So you think 851 00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 1: that that is the NBA is doing this on purpose, 852 00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,560 Speaker 1: not just for Trey Young, but we're not going to 853 00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:52,200 Speaker 1: allow this to happen in basketball again. They want scoring up, 854 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,880 Speaker 1: they want freedom of movement, and what does that do? 855 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,799 Speaker 1: That puts the casual fans in the stands because they 856 00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,880 Speaker 1: want to see spectacular plays. They want to see Tree 857 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:05,040 Speaker 1: Young knockdown thirty thirty five footers. They want to see 858 00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:08,319 Speaker 1: him shoot floaters from the free throw line without being 859 00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 1: put on his behind. That puts the casual fan, not 860 00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,680 Speaker 1: the horrorcore fan. The casual fans will come to game 861 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,759 Speaker 1: to be like, Hey, that's that Tree, that's the guy 862 00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,239 Speaker 1: that took on New York. That's the guy who you know, 863 00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,799 Speaker 1: Ice Tray and was telling the credit. The casual fan 864 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,720 Speaker 1: wants to see that, and that's no disrespect to trade 865 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:31,920 Speaker 1: because he is slowly becoming, if not already, a household 866 00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,799 Speaker 1: name for what his exploits in New York and what 867 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:40,880 Speaker 1: he potentially could do in Philly against two Marquis franchises. 868 00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,680 Speaker 1: So I have no problem with that. But this has 869 00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:46,520 Speaker 1: been going on for a while, the freedom of movement, 870 00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,040 Speaker 1: This is not new this season. Freedom of movement really 871 00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:55,000 Speaker 1: started the beginning of two thousand. Commissioner Stern wanted scoring 872 00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,080 Speaker 1: to be up He didn't want the bloodbath between Detroit 873 00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:02,840 Speaker 1: and New York and Indiana holding clutching hitting scores eighty 874 00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,720 Speaker 1: five to ninety. They want that up there. One hundred 875 00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,680 Speaker 1: and twenty, one hundred and twenty five. That's what it 876 00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,960 Speaker 1: is today. When did they start allowing the players to 877 00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:19,479 Speaker 1: carry the basketball? That's been on since the beginning of time? No, No, 878 00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:27,080 Speaker 1: it was I iverson in Stockton Art those guys far away. Yeah, 879 00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:31,719 Speaker 1: but now now it's not even it's never called my kids. 880 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,000 Speaker 1: You can have your hand waiting under the ball and 881 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:40,440 Speaker 1: then my kids, Let mean, come on, call a carry. 882 00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:48,560 Speaker 1: I would I'm more call a walk, for there's no 883 00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,600 Speaker 1: traveling myself on fundamentals coming from UCLA. That's all they 884 00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:57,160 Speaker 1: built into us was wooden jump stop, pivot, pivot, jump stop, 885 00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:00,840 Speaker 1: call the walk. Do you think though, like Iverson carried 886 00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:08,680 Speaker 1: all the time right, yes, and stocked it and Tim Hardaway, yes, yeah, 887 00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:12,319 Speaker 1: and Kobe a little bit and if you and if 888 00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:20,480 Speaker 1: you had a handle, then you maybe hold on. That's yeah, 889 00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:27,120 Speaker 1: that's all you did right there. I need I know 890 00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:29,800 Speaker 1: you you're one of the great shooters in history, but 891 00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:34,200 Speaker 1: I wouldn't teach your form to anybody. No, not at all. 892 00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:38,720 Speaker 1: It was very unorthodox. It was invented out of getting 893 00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:42,680 Speaker 1: my shot blocked nine out of ten times. For my 894 00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:45,880 Speaker 1: older sister and older brothers. I couldn't shoot like this 895 00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:48,120 Speaker 1: right in front of them because they kept going back. 896 00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,440 Speaker 1: So I would do this and kind of push it 897 00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:54,719 Speaker 1: over them. And that's where that was born from. Do 898 00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,680 Speaker 1: you have a basketball there with you? I don't when 899 00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,399 Speaker 1: I'm in the hotel here in Phoenix. And why would 900 00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,080 Speaker 1: I travel with a basketball? Theodore?
