9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 2: Iron Eagle was on the call at the Garden last

10
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: night with Steph Curry and the Warriors, who have another

11
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 2: game in New York. They play Brooklyn tomorrow night, then

12
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 2: they go home for a seven game homestand I mean

13
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: they start to put together a great run here and

14
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 2: with Jimmy Butler. Now granted you're looking at teams saying

15
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 2: when are you peaking? If you're Golden State, you'll peak

16
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: whenever you can peak, because at the All Star break

17
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: or around Christmas, we're like, what's going to happen with

18
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: this team? Same with the Lakers. The Lakers are playing great.

19
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 2: They roughed up inferior Pelican team. Although Zion played really

20
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: well last night. He's played really well in the last month,

21
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: but small sample size, but still, if you're the Pelicans,

22
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: and you're looking at Zion Whims and I don't see

23
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: him as a career Pelican. I don't know if his

24
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 2: next contract would be in New Orleans. It doesn't feel

25
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,199
Speaker 2: that way, but I wonder where that franchise is headed.

26
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: But with the Lakers, they could be headed to the

27
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: NBA Finals, and you know, I wish they would have

28
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: a bigger guy. I wish they had a big man.

29
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 2: I mean, the thunder are going to be formidable. It's

30
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 2: a very deep team. You're going to have a couple

31
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: of those matchups where you go that team is a

32
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: whole lot better. Because we tend to focus shows like this,

33
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: the networks they focus on they're top heavy on a

34
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: couple of teams. Therefore, that's why when you saw Minnesota,

35
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: you know, like man, Minnesota is a good team going

36
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: to the NBA Finals. Yes, But sometimes, like the Celtics,

37
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: we sort of forgot about the Celtics because it's been

38
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: a lot of love for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Now, do

39
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 2: you believe in Cleveland when there's a seven game series,

40
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: when you have to win a game on the road,

41
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 2: Because that's what it's going to come down to. Boston's

42
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: already proven this. Boston to me, should be the favorites

43
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 2: to go back in either conference, but they're not. But

44
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: I look at Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City's going to have

45
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 2: one of those moments where SGA has to act.

46
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 3: Like the MVP.

47
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,839
Speaker 2: Or somebody else has to. Because you can look back

48
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: when Denver won the title, Joker was great, but Jamal

49
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: Murray had one of those coming out parties where people

50
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: forgot how good he could be. And they had they

51
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: had depth, they had a really good bench. I mean,

52
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: it's formulaic in my opinion, it's really rare when you go, boy,

53
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: they won and they didn't check these boxes there. You

54
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,119
Speaker 2: got to play defense, You got to have a guy

55
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 2: that you can go to when the game is on

56
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 2: the lone and he doesn't melt. You got to win

57
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: a game that maybe you're not supposed to win. I mean,

58
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: there's a lot of different things, a lot of different

59
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: factors that go into this. But I think the Lakers

60
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 2: have the elements to be able to go back and

61
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: win a championship. I truly feel that. But it comes

62
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 2: down to Lebron and Luca. Luca and Lebron. Now everybody

63
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: else has to figure out their roles because they didn't

64
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: have this before. Luca and Lebron ball dominant. Now what's

65
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 2: it mean for the other players? And while you probably

66
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 2: are saying, well, I got to do a stand around

67
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 2: and wait for them to throw you the ball, No,

68
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: it's not as easy as that. Like you'll you'll have

69
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: a role, and your role might be different than it was.

70
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,119
Speaker 2: And I think JJ Reddick's done a really good job

71
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: with that and I think defining roles.

72
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 3: So it's not open to interpretation.

73
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: But those two, Like if I say, give me the

74
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: best duo in the NBA right now, Jalen Brown, Jason

75
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: Tatum certainly should come to mind. Joker, Jamal Murray, Jimmy Butler,

76
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: Steph Curry, Like, where does Lebron and Luca rank of

77
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: the best duos in the NBA? And I would put

78
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 2: them as the best duo in the NBA because their

79
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 2: battle Lebron is battle tested. There's nothing that is going

80
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 2: to come up where he's going to go. I haven't

81
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 2: seen that before. And he might be, you know, an

82
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: influential figure when Luca. When Luca ends his career, he

83
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 2: may look back and say, thank god, I got.

84
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 3: Traded to the Lakers.

85
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 2: Because I was around Lebron for X number of years,

86
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 2: I got to see a professional and it's not to

87
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: say And there was this smear campaign with Luca because

88
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 2: you know the MAVs. Then there was a story that

89
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 2: came out that hey, you know what, we also wanted

90
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 2: to know if Minnesota wanted to swap Anthony Edwards for

91
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: Luca Donchets, which I still go back to. If they

92
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 2: called me and they all for Luca, I go, why

93
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 2: are you offering him?

94
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 3: Why? Why? And maybe there's more to the story.

95
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 2: There probably is more to the story, but that'd be

96
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 2: the first thing I'd say, Wait, is this a trick question?

97
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 3: Like why do you want to get rid of this guy?

98
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: Now?

99
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,559
Speaker 2: That would raise eyebrows, But you know, the Lakers probably thought,

100
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: if it's about conditioning, we got a guy who can

101
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 2: and not babysit. But certainly Mentor and I think you're

102
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 2: seeing that, like Luca injured his calf on Christmas Day,

103
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 2: there was no real rush to get him back, or

104
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 2: didn't feel like there was a real rush. Now, I

105
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 2: don't know if anybody's brought up his calf, is that

106
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 2: you know, does he have to sit down? Does minutes

107
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: restriction because of his calf. And then you look at

108
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 2: the MAVs now so Kyrie's out. I think they're going

109
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 2: to shut down Anthony Davis. There's no reason to play him,

110
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 2: play for a draft pick. But you know, you start

111
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 2: to look at some of these teams that got better

112
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 2: at the trade deadline, and Golden State is a different

113
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 2: team because Jimmy Butler can compliment Draymond Green from the

114
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: perspective of I can do all the little things. Steph

115
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: can be Steph. I can I take care of the ball.

116
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: You know, Golden State used to be top heavy with turnovers.

117
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 2: You know, Jimmy Butler takes care of the ball. He

118
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 2: goes to the free throw line, he plays really good defense.

119
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 2: So you combine that, now you got to now it's

120
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 2: a different team, a different feel to them.

121
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 3: Okay.

122
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: See, sometimes you're so good that nobody's really threatening you,

123
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: and then you get into that first tough series and

124
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: that's when you can be surprised. I hope SGA because

125
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 2: he's going to win the MVP. He shouldn't, but he's

126
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 2: going to. I hope he has a great playoff run

127
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 2: because we always do this. Yeah, never should have won

128
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 2: the MVP. Yeah, ask Lamar Jackson. No, he was great

129
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 2: during SGA has been incredible during the regular season. But

130
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 2: Joker's numbers are better than when he won the MVPs.

131
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: It's scary. Here's a pass first guy who's averaging twenty

132
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 2: nine again. If he stopped passing, nobody average. And I

133
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: know there are a lot of guys averaging twenty nine,

134
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: thirty thirty one. You know it's guys are scoring points,

135
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: but guys aren't putting up assist numbers like he is.

136
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: He's averaging a triple double. Now I know that we're

137
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: numb to it. Not a big deal anymore, but it

138
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 2: should be because of the assist numbers. You have a

139
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: seven foot guy who's averaging what eleven assists again, twelve rebounds,

140
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: twenty nine points. He shoots great from three point right now,

141
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 2: his numbers are better. He shoots forty four percent from

142
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 2: three point range. It's the best he's ever shot. But

143
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: I think there is voter fatigue. I think it's real.

144
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: And this is where the get off my lawn guy

145
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 2: comes out because he doesn't want somebody to get more

146
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: MVPs than Well, he's not better than Larry Bird. He

147
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: can't have more MVPs than Larry. He can, Yeah, he can.

148
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:38,119
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not Joker's fault. Bird got hurt in fact.

149
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 3: On this date.

150
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 2: I think back in the eighties, didn't he have a

151
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: fusion surgery for his back, Yes, Martin.

152
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that was the big thing with Joke

153
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 4: is not winning his third straight MVP. Lebron James and

154
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 4: Michael Jordan neither of them won through straight MVPs, and

155
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 4: they're thinking to themselves, those two didn't win through straight MVPs.

156
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 4: There's no way this kind he can win through straight MVPs.

157
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: Nineteen ninety three, Larry Bird undergo back fusion surgery on

158
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 2: this day and he just couldn't stay healthy and the

159
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 2: way he played, couldn't stay healthy. But if you said

160
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 2: at age thirty you could have Larry or Lebron at

161
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 2: age thirty, I would have taken Larry over Lebron. Now,

162
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 2: over the length of the career, certainly you're taking Lebron.

163
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 2: But it's how great were you when you were great?

164
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 2: That's always fun when you look at a window and

165
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: you go, yeah, well you know it was you know,

166
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 2: you always had magic with Larry and vice versa. But

167
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 2: there were times when they had those windows. You know

168
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: what magic did is rookie year. I mean it was spectacular.

169
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 2: You go from a national championship to an NBA championship.

170
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 2: They'd never seen anything like that. But that's the fun

171
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 2: part of it, where you're seeing these players and I

172
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: hold on for dear life with Durant Lebron in steadf.

173
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 2: Now there's a new wave coming. But this opportunity, as

174
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 2: I said during the Olympics, when I watched them on

175
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: the floor, you had all this young talent on the

176
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 2: bench and I was I'm not going to say it

177
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 2: was emotional, but it was really rewarding for me to

178
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: watch them as great as they are in that moment.

179
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 2: Those were the guys Steve Kerr wanted on the floor

180
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 2: with the ball and what a what a tribute a

181
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: testament to them when you have all this young talent

182
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 2: and it's not about who's got the talent, it's those

183
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 2: guys know what they're doing when they need to do it.

184
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 2: And Steph you can look like Steph has had great

185
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 2: moments in his career, Like where does the Olympics fit

186
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: in with great moments in his career? Because that is

187
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 2: global We talk about the NBA being global. That was

188
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 2: truly global. It's live worldwide, and all of a sudden

189
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: you're learning curse words in French. You know, like, wow,

190
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 2: they're mad at him.

191
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 3: He was so great, so great.

192
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 5: Yeah.

193
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 6: Pulling that last five minute stretch by Curry and the Olympics,

194
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 6: it was dizzying you're watching in it. It felt like

195
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 6: that's not what human beings do. He's the only human

196
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 6: who could have done that.

197
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, and he had he had one shot where

198
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 2: you go, I don't know how he got that shot off.

199
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 2: I have no idea but to be able to see that,

200
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 2: and you know, you miss him. I mean I miss

201
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 2: seeing Bird play. I miss seeing Magic play certainly. My

202
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: you know all these great players because you take it

203
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: for granted and then all of a sudden, it's gone,

204
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: It's done.

205
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 3: Yeah man, Yeah, Marvin.

206
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 4: Is nineteen eighty six, Larry Bird one of the greatest

207
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 4: players you've ever seen, like just that one year. Yeah,

208
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 4: like in real time, did you guys know what you

209
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 4: guys were witnessing with Magic and Bird? Like in real time?

210
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 4: I know there wasn't all these sports shows and debate

211
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 4: shows and stuff like that, but did you guys know

212
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 4: in eighty five, eighty six, eighty seven, like these guys

213
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 4: are two of the greatest that have ever done it.

214
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, because it felt like there was really a

215
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 2: there were two great players, transcendent players, and then there

216
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 2: were really good players underneath Bird and Magic. But what

217
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 2: Larry did back to back to back and I'm curious,

218
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: Bill Simmons documentary on the Celtics looking back on that,

219
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 2: I mean, Larry's the baddest guy on the planet. He

220
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: was and brought up interesting debates between races where you know,

221
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: Magic's better, No, Larry's better. Spike Lee has this in

222
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 2: one of his movies, might have been Crooklyn or one

223
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 2: of those where they're arguing over you know, Larry Bird

224
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 2: or Magic Johnson. You did have those discussions, and they

225
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: would have that now on first take or any of

226
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 2: these other shows, like who's better Magic Larry Now? And

227
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 2: it was depending on the week or the month or

228
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: the year, you could say, no, it's Magic, No, it's Larry.

229
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 2: But Larry had a run there that you'd be hard

230
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 2: pressed to find somebody who was better than him over

231
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 2: a three year period. Statistically, it might you could find people,

232
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 2: but that's where you saw great great players, and the

233
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 2: Celtics were a running team back then. You wouldn't think

234
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 2: that McHale and Parrish and Bird, even DJ Dan Danny

235
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 2: Ainge's probably the best athlete in the starting five.

236
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 3: But they ran. They had fast breaks, Larry out on

237
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 3: the break. You're like, I thought, that's magic. That's what

238
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 3: they did, yes, bawling.

239
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 6: When they were rookies, Larry Bird won Rookie of the Year.

240
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 6: Magic finished second. Nobody else in the league got to vote.

241
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 6: Larry got sixty three votes, Magic got three. Not one

242
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 6: other player got a Rookie of the Year vote. Another

243
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 6: thing for Larry Bird, starting with age twenty four to

244
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 6: thirty two, he either finished first, second, or third in

245
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 6: the MVP voting.

246
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,599
Speaker 2: But I don't remember voter fatigue. Now, I wasn't a

247
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 2: voter back then, but I did go. I did see

248
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 2: all three of Larry's championships, and I got to go

249
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 2: to the guard. I was there when Magic hit the skyhook.

250
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 2: You know he was going to win another one. But

251
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: I I just remember at that time that was some great,

252
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 2: great basketball, and they were loaded.

253
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 3: Both of those teams.

254
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: You know, you look at the Laker team and coming

255
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 2: off the bench, you know, that that wasn't a negative.

256
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 2: Bob McAdoo was one of my favorite players. You know,

257
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 2: you just it was fun, fun basketball, But they both moved.

258
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 2: It wasn't you know, sort of half court offense, even

259
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 2: though they could play that as well.

260
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 3: All right, taking a trip down memory lane.

261
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 2: We're living in the let's go I know, I know,

262
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 2: a long winded way of saying, appreciate Lebron and Steph

263
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: and Katie Katie. Last night and the Suns came back

264
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: to beat the Clippers. I think they were down what

265
00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: fifteen or nineteen going in the final quarter. You know,

266
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 2: three of the greatest players scores of all time right

267
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 2: in front of us.

268
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, Mark, three generational players in the same generation.

269
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, they are all doing it differently, all do

270
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 2: it differently.

271
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 3: All right, take a break.

272
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 2: Iron Eagle was on the call with Steph Curry at

273
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,600

310
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 5: This massive square garden. It speaks for itself.

311
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 8: This is a place that brings it just naturally has great, unique,

312
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 8: authentic basketball energy, and like the fans are unreal, like

313
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 8: the Who's who a celebrity rolling on that, but just

314
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 8: everybody's anticipating great basketball. And from my first game here

315
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 8: in college to now, I guess always delivered. So H

316
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 8: and for us on the Western Conference, we'll only get

317
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 8: one chance here and I'm trying to take to make

318
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 8: the most of it.

319
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 2: And they did. Iron Eagle was on the call t

320
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 2: NT Nicks Warriors. What is it about the garden and

321
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 2: why is it different?

322
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 9: There is a palpable buzz before the game even starts,

323
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 9: and it's nothing that's being pumped through the speakers. It's

324
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 9: not artificial in any way. It's real. There is something

325
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 9: special and unique about it. Even during the lean years,

326
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 9: you would go into the garden and maybe just the

327
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 9: way the arena in captures the sound, it just bounces

328
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 9: in a certain manner, so as the game was about

329
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 9: to get going, you could feel it. You could feel

330
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 9: that that energy. It's tangible and I know what Steph

331
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 9: is saying. It is special for him, and he makes

332
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 9: it even more special when he's there because it creates

333
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 9: an added layer of electricity.

334
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 3: How do you know when you've done a good job

335
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 3: doing a game?

336
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 9: I know, I know if I've covered the storylines. I

337
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 9: know if I've met the moment. I know if I've

338
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 9: hit the right beats. I think it's based on just

339
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 9: doing so many games. There's a way to view it.

340
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 9: For me, the amount of games that I do helps

341
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 9: me because it keeps me in that mindset.

342
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 5: It keeps me locked in.

343
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 9: I don't ever drop off because I'm not off for

344
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 9: three weeks and then I got to get back into it.

345
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 9: I'm doing sometimes five games in a week, and there's

346
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 9: a certain standard that comes with that. You want to

347
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 9: do your best. It doesn't matter if it's a Wednesday

348
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 9: night for a local Nets Washington game, or a Thursday

349
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 9: night for a Big Lakers Boston game, or a Sunday

350
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 9: in the NFL, or a Thursday night on the radio,

351
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 9: it doesn't matter. You just get to a point where

352
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 9: you can gauge it in the moment if you're doing

353
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 9: your job correctly and you're hitting all the high notes.

354
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 2: I still find it interesting that when a player or

355
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 2: team plays New York, they're playing the Garden. They're not

356
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 2: playing the Knicks. Yeah, they're playing the Garden. I don't

357
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 2: know if we do that at any other venue or

358
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 2: any other sport. Can you think of anything where you

359
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 2: go now it used to be the Garden, Boston Garden, Yeah,

360
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 2: you know, then it became like the Fleet Center and

361
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 2: TD Bank and so kind of lost a little bit,

362
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 2: you know, playing the Crypt, maybe the Forum. Yeah, great

363
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 2: Western form. But I don't know if there's any like Fenway.

364
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 2: You don't say, oh, you're playing Fenway, you're playing the

365
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 2: Red Sox. Even Yankee Stadium is not the original Yankee Stadium,

366
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 2: even though the Garden's not the original Garden. But yeah,

367
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 2: you're playing the Garden as opposed to it it's like

368
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 2: you're a musical group.

369
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're on tour and then we play the Garden.

370
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, Billy Joel is no longer doing it once a month,

371
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 9: But you're right, Billy Joel is playing the Garden and

372
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 9: the Warriors were playing the Garden. I don't know if

373
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 9: it's an extension of Broadway in some way that you're

374
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 9: in New York and it's this historic venue. You're right

375
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 9: about the ever changing names. That is a part of

376
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 9: it that chips away at the mystique a bit. I

377
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 9: remember I did a game years ago NFL on CBS

378
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 9: game in Oakland, and at that point it was a

379
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 9: revolving of names. And literally, I'm not exaggerating. Dan fifteen

380
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 9: minutes before kickoff, someone I'm not sure if they were

381
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 9: affiliated with the Raiders or the state. They walk in,

382
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 9: they hand me a sheet of paper and they say, hey,

383
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 9: just to let you know we're going by this now.

384
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 9: Fifteen minutes before the game, I go theod dot co

385
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:27,479
Speaker 9: what is this? And that takes away from from the

386
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 9: sense of place and the sense of history.

387
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 5: You're right, even with the Boston Garden.

388
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 9: Once they went down that road, the Boston Garden became

389
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 9: a thing of the past, and now you've got to

390
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 9: rack your brain and say, what.

391
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 5: Is it now? Is it TD Garden?

392
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 9: It's still Madison Square Garden, named after by the way,

393
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 9: James Madison, the former president. That was the connection. I

394
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 9: was going to use that over the weekend in regards

395
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 9: to the Saint John's Seed Hall game and make the

396
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 9: point that Bill Raftery was actually classmates with James and

397
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 9: that he knew him quite well.

398
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 5: But we never got there.

399
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: Who is more unexplainable? Steph Curry's successor Lebron's Steph Curry.

400
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 2: Steph Curry, he was the number seven pick in the draft.

401
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 2: There were major questions as to whether or not his

402
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 2: style and approach would translate.

403
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 5: To the NBA.

404
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 9: Would he get his shot off, Like, think about that

405
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 9: for a moment. If we go back and check the

406
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 9: scouting reports, it would say great three point shooter, creative

407
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 9: offensive player. But will the NBA be too physical for him?

408
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 9: Is he big enough to handle the wear and tear

409
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 9: of the NBA. Those were questions coming out of Davidson.

410
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 9: That was the other part of it. He was coming

411
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 9: out of Davidson. He was not coming out of Duke.

412
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 9: His brother had gone from Liberty to Duke. So you

413
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 9: saw him on a bigger stage and thought, Okay, he

414
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 9: can do it, it'll translate.

415
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 5: And obviously he's had a nice career.

416
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 9: Steph has had an all time career, and I think

417
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 9: at this stage the rejuvenation that we're seeing with Jimmy

418
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 9: Butler now on the team, Dan, I'm sensing that there's

419
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 9: even a greater appreciation for Steph than ever before. Because

420
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 9: as you see these incredible athletes hit the NBA, these

421
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 9: physical specimens, these adonises, Steph, it just feels like he

422
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 9: could be anybody. And he's obviously a terrific athlete and

423
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 9: he's in great shape, but he would blend in if

424
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 9: he didn't know who he was, and that's part of

425
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 9: the charm of it.

426
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 5: This guy is.

427
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 9: Doing it in a manner that I don't know if

428
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 9: we're gonna see it again the way he does it.

429
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 9: And just again Dan my experience, they're playing in Brooklyn,

430
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 9: so I'm going to see this for the second time

431
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 9: this week. I just happened to walk out onto the

432
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 9: court of my broadcast location as he was going through

433
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 9: his warm up, and the groundswell of people that want

434
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 9: to watch him warm up, warm up.

435
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 5: That to me says.

436
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 9: Everything you need to know that there is a special

437
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 9: quality and people realize that this is just something a

438
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 9: little different. This is just not a normal NBA player.

439
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 2: He's an Eagle. He was on the call last night

440
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 2: TNT Warriors Knicks. He's got the Warriors' nets tomorrow night,

441
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 2: and then Michigan, Michigan State coming up on Sunday.

442
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 3: Is that right?

443
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 5: That is right? Thank you.

444
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 9: I didn't know where I was going until you mentioned it,

445
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 9: so I'd better book that flight.

446
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 2: Is there a backup plan in case you can't show

447
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 2: up at a game.

448
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 5: It's a hologram. We've worked that out.

449
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 9: They have a soundboard of all my calls and then

450
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 9: they just project me onto the screen. We're actually trying

451
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 9: to do that with RAF at this point. We don't

452
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 9: even need him to be at the games. We just

453
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 9: have onions on a loop, to the order on a loop,

454
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 9: and then you're good.

455
00:24:58,480 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 5: You're good to go for the tournament.

456
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 2: Bill Raftery is and people will find him entertaining on

457
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 2: a game. He's a million times more entertaining when he's

458
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 2: not doing a game. And that's saying a lot. But

459
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 2: the first time I met Raf. I was in Atlanta,

460
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 2: Craig Sager's bar, Jocks and Jill, that's right, And I

461
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 2: just got through. I was working at CNN and I

462
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 2: went over to Seger's bar. I come in and Raf

463
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 2: has the corner of the bar. As you walk in

464
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 2: the corner of the bar, there had to be twenty

465
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 2: five beers, and he had ordered twenty five beers. Yes,

466
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 2: and it was just if you came up to talk

467
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 2: to him, just grab a beer. That's first time I

468
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 2: met him, and I mean, he is a delight.

469
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 5: Can I interject one thing to him?

470
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 9: Because it just spurred a memory of mine. We were

471
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 9: in Seattle for a net game and we ended up

472
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 9: going to dinner, large group, and then the group got

473
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 9: a little smaller. We went out to a bar afterwards,

474
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 9: and we got to the bar, and literally ten minutes

475
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 9: into our stay at the bar, they call out last call,

476
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 9: and I see, like Bill's whole demeanor change in that moment,

477
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 9: and he just leaves the group and he goes to

478
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 9: the bar and he obviously gets in an order for

479
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 9: last call, and normally last call what ends up happening.

480
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 5: They still let you hang around a little bit. They

481
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 5: did not they kick us out of this bar. We

482
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 5: spill out into the street.

483
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 9: It's not even that laid out, and Bill's a bit

484
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 9: upset about it, and I understand they cut off his evening.

485
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 9: So he's wearing a long trench coat. And we get

486
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 9: outside now and our director who passed away, great guy,

487
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 9: Dave Hagen. He shows us that he snuck one beer

488
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 9: out to the street and all laugh, Oh, that's amazing.

489
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 5: Rap opens his trench coat.

490
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 9: He has eight years, but he has snuck out two

491
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 9: in eg side pocket, two on the interior in his pants.

492
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 5: This guy is at another level.

493
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 2: I'm wondering. I brought this up when I interviewed Sonny vccaro.

494
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 2: I said, I hope that he would get into Basketball

495
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame contributions to the game. And they're certain

496
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 2: like Dick VII tow contributions and Bill Raftery, yes, you know,

497
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 2: because he was a former college coach. He's in, Yeah,

498
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 2: but to have but Sonny Vaccaro is not Yeah. And

499
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if we look at the shoe business

500
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 2: and the CD under belly of this and that's like

501
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 2: he had contributions to the game. He signed Michael Jordan,

502
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 2: he signed Kobe almost signed Lebron and you got these

503
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 2: coaches who got paid. I mean, he changed college basketball.

504
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 2: You may say, maybe not for the better, but where

505
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 2: do you stand on contributions to the game and you

506
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 2: know people getting inducted.

507
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, he should be in. He should be in. He

508
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 5: played a large role in the development of the game.

509
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 9: And you're right, there were some things happening that nobody

510
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 9: was completely aware of and it changed the sport. But

511
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 9: it was inevitable. If it wasn't him, it was going

512
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 9: to be somebody else. I do think the fact that

513
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 9: he had a big personality was a big part of

514
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 9: what made college basketball what it was, and I don't

515
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 9: know if that's lost now a little bit. Just like

516
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 9: everything in life, as it goes to a different level financially,

517
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,479
Speaker 9: business wise, commerce, you lose a little bit of what

518
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 9: made it so special. But the personalities made college basketball,

519
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 9: coaching personalities, behind the scenes, broadcasting personality larger than live

520
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 9: Dick Vitale We'll obviously played a big role Raff as

521
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 9: you mentioned, and I think it is a little bit

522
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 9: of a lost art now when it comes to sports

523
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 9: because it's much more corporate and we're not going to

524
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 9: have that kind of Viscer rule reaction like we used

525
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 9: to have to people that had the impact that that

526
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 9: Sonny had. He he belongs in there, no doubt about it.

527
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 3: Your thoughts on Rick Patino still make it. It doesn't matter.

528
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 2: He's He's on the short list of greatest basketball coaches

529
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 2: of all time. I mean really, you know the Celtics,

530
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 2: he couldn't control the roster, didn't get Tim Duncan, but

531
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 2: every place like we plugged him in at Iona and

532
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 2: we thought, oh, that's a cute loy story.

533
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 5: And he wins any way, Dan, he wins. This is

534
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:47,479
Speaker 5: who he is.

535
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 9: And as the rules have changed, look, he's adapted to them.

536
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 9: He recognized way back when you may have to do

537
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 9: things in your way in a certain manner and maybe

538
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 9: a bended when the situation calls for it. I think

539
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 9: that Rick was so far ahead of his time in

540
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 9: the eighties that eventually others picked up on it and

541
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 9: figured it out. But the thing about Rick that still

542
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 9: strikes me to this day is he always adjusts. He's

543
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 9: just a great coach. He's an incredible motivator, He's a

544
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 9: tremendous tactician. His x's and o's are through the roof

545
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 9: He's smart. He gets it. He understands the media side

546
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 9: of it. He gets all of it, and you could

547
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 9: find great coaches that get some of it. He understands

548
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 9: every aspect of this job and the fact that he's

549
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 9: done it so quickly. At Saint John's, I was at

550
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 9: the garden this past weekend. It was sold out. Dan,

551
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 9: it is a happening again. You have to go back

552
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,959
Speaker 9: really to my youth in the eighties when it felt

553
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 9: like this around New York. They've had good teams, they've

554
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 9: had competitive teams, they haven't had this, they haven't had

555
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 9: this kind of buzz and this kind of chain reaction

556
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 9: in the city. And it's Rick that's done it.

557
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 2: Safe travels to Brooklyn tomorrow for the ban, Thank you

558
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 2: for the nets, tilt Tree with Golden State, and then

559
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 2: and then just to let you know, on Sunday, you

560
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 2: have to do Michigan and Michigan State. Hold on, let

561
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 2: me Michigan, Michigan State, Michigan that is in east Land, Lansing.

562
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, okay.

563
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 2: And they they got a player, you know, Jason Richardson's son, Jase.

564
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 2: He might be a top five pick in the in

565
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 2: the draft.

566
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

567
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 9: I had them earlier this season at the Garden against Rutgers,

568
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 9: he was coming off the bench. He is not coming

569
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 9: off the bench.

570
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 2: How do you explain Rutgers will have two of the

571
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 2: top four players drafted and may not make the tournament.

572
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, chemistry means so much. You play basketball growing up,

573
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 9: it was important to you. I'm sure there were years

574
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 9: where you thought, oh, man, we have great individual talent

575
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 9: and then it didn't fit. Unfortunately, it just doesn't fit

576
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 9: or it doesn't translate into wins. But you're gonna hear

577
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 9: about those two guys, Harper and Bailey for a long

578
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 9: time because they're going to play in the NBA for

579
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 9: a long time.

580
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 5: But they're going to look back at.

581
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 9: The fact that they didn't take advantage of the opportunity

582
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 9: in college and there's nothing they can do about it.

583
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 2: Like Ben Simmons didn't make the tournament at L make

584
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 2: the tournament yep.

585
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 9: At LSU, I actually had a game of his his

586
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 9: freshman year.

587
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 5: I was wowed by his skill set. Their team just

588
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 5: wasn't that good.

589
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 2: Tell tom Izzo, I said, alot, I will, Yeah, I will,

590
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 2: He's great. Tell him I sett alone done. I will

591
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 2: say it. Tell him it's you know, getting about that

592
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 2: time that maybe steps down and lets somebody else. I'm

593
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 2: not gonna say that, No, don't don't, don't say Hey,

594
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 2: Dan Patrick.

595
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 5: Says hello, and maybe it's time to step aside.

596
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 3: He would appreciate it, he's got to say probably.

597
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 2: Of course I'm going to deny it when he says,

598
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 2: you can produce, all right, thanks, all right, that's Iron

599
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 2: Eagle or Ian Eigel.

600
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 10: Uh.

601
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 2: He did the next game last night, and you go

602
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 2: from the garden to Berkley's in Brooklyn, It's going to

603
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 2: be a whole different vibe there for that game tomorrow night. Uh,

604
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 2: Matthew and la Hey, matt what do you have for

605
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 2: me today?

606
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 11: DP? Longtime, first time you were talking about Steph and

607
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 11: his Olympic performance, which I think topped his NBA championships.

608
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 11: He saved a country. A recommendation for you. Court of

609
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 11: Gold on Netflix. It is amazing all the superstars that

610
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 11: are in there. You got Patum patom ripping his France team,

611
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 11: Jokich going at his team really really well done. I

612
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 11: agree with you the emotional aspect of Kerr leaving all

613
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 11: of our quote unquote avengers out there are superstars. The

614
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 11: shot over France, the three point barrage by staff against Serbia.

615
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 11: It was really really amazing and the documentary is welcome.

616
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Marvin talked about it like you got true passion

617
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,919
Speaker 2: out of players and it you can't help. But you know, gosh,

618
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 2: I wish they had that passion with their day job,

00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,359

622
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 2: title to him.

Speaker 3: Brent in des Moin, Hey, Brent.

673
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 11: Good morning, sir, five nine one sixty five.

674
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 12: Okay, I've kind of been waiting for the right morning

675
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 12: to ask you to rank three shows in order, number one,

676
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 12: of course being the best. I do think I know

677
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 12: how you'll answer it, but I'm curious to hear your answer.

678
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 12: So the three shows, in no particular order are The Wire, Ozark,

679
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 12: and Breaking Bad.

680
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 2: Okay, you want to tell me your guests on my

681
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,720
Speaker 2: top three, sure I will.

682
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 12: I don't have to, But if you want to just

683
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 12: tell me yours, that's fine too.

684
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 11: But I'll tell you my guest if you'd like.

685
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 12: Okay, So I think you're going Breaking Bad Ozark in

686
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 12: a wire.

687
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:56,320
Speaker 3: Okay, let me see. I think it's really close.

688
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 2: I would say Breaking Bad, then I would do the Wire,

689
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 2: and then I would do Ozark. There's no wrong order

690
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 2: on this. But like Breaking Bad, was a chemistry teacher

691
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 2: who had cancer and all of a sudden became this

692
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 2: drug lord. You imagine pitching that, okay, And they always

693
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 2: talk about an elevator pitch that you should be able

694
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 2: to make your pitch while the elevator is. You're talking

695
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 2: to somebody on an elevator, so you're, you know, starting

696
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 2: on the first floor and you're going up to the

697
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 2: ninth floor. I got I got nine floors to get

698
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 2: my pitch. So just like what I did, Uh, chemistry teacher,

699
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 2: he's got cancer and he wants to make money for

700
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 2: his family. When he dies, he becomes a drug lord.

701
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 2: That's it. We're not even at the fourth floor yet,

702
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden they pull it off

703
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 2: the wire felt like that was it was voyeuristic. The

704
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 2: first season, You're you're like closed circuit cameras watching a neighborhood,

705
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 2: watching everything that was going on. Ozark was just you know,

706
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 2: And a lot of these shows, and certainly this was

707
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 2: with Breaking Bad. What can they get into that the

708
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 2: writers have to write a script to get them out

709
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 2: of it? Felt like every episode, you go, He's never

710
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 2: going to get out of this, And the same with

711
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 2: Jason Bateman and Ozark. Marty Byrd's How's he going to

712
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 2: get out of this? And I always found that fascinating that, yes,

713
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 2: the actors have to pull this off, but the writers

714
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 2: and what they did awesome.

715
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 3: This Dane Sports History Paul.

716
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 6: Nineteen sixty four, the NFL purchased Blair Motion Pictures, which

717
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 6: was renamed NFL Films was owned by Ed Sable and

718
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 6: his family. Wow nineteen ninety four, Michael Adams of the

719
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 6: Washington Bullets at the time became the third player in

720
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 6: NBA history to hit nine hundred career three point field goals.

721
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 6: Right now, there's over two hundred players in their career

722
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 6: who've hit over nine hundred career threes.

723
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 2: Michael Adams one of the ugliest shots in NBA history.

724
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 2: But hey, you knew how to play? Was he Boston College?

725
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 2: Michael Adams?

726
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:15,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

727
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 5: Yeah.

728
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 2: There's some of those guys that you watch and you go,

729
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 2: I don't know how they did it, but they did it.

730
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 5: You know.

731
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 2: It's truly it's like batting stances, your shot or how

732
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 2: you pitch. They're just uniqueness there and I always had

733
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 2: great appreciation for that. On this date, in nineteen seventy three,

734
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 2: the Yankee pitchers Mike Kekech and Fritz Peterson announced that

735
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 2: they were trading wives. They also traded children, and they

736
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 2: traded the family dogs.

737
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:48,839
Speaker 3: True story.

738
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 2: We had Matt Damon on the show a while ago,

739
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 2: and I did ask him because I think there was

740
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,280
Speaker 2: a time when Matt Damon and Ben Affleck were looking

741
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 2: at purchasing the rights or developing that moving because okay,

742
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 2: once again two players trading lives, trading children, trading dogs.

743
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 2: I think one of the couples stayed together for quite

744
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:12,479
Speaker 2: some time.

745
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 6: Yes, Paulieu Aflic and Damon bought the rights to it

746
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 6: in twenty fifteen. Nothing has come of it yet.

747
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 2: Who brings that up? But about swapping, yes, I don't.

748
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:26,879
Speaker 2: I don't know. That's why we need.

749
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 3: A movie now.

750
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 6: Those mortgage rates are really hitting them.

751
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah yeah. I think you could just do

752
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 2: a family vacation. I don't think I need to take

753
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 2: your wife and your kids and your dog. Now, how

754
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 2: about we take a test drive here? Todd, what did

755
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 2: I learn today?

756
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 3: When he's not pitching, Justin Erlo plays a lot of

757
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 3: chess with his new Giants teammates.
