1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: Sports Radio Los Angeles. Who can exhale Lebron hits the 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: big shot? Focus seems to be on Lebron milking that 4 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,280 Speaker 1: eye injury. All right, he did. Let's not forget about 5 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: the shot. He hit a three, A deep three, a 6 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: desperation three. Let's not forget about that. If he misses 7 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: that shot, that would have been an interesting conversation. If 8 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: they had lost that game, then they have to play 9 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: Memphis on Friday night. But he did hit the shot. Yes, 10 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: do I think that he can be theatrical? Yes, yes 11 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 1: he can. I mean there's a lot of guys who 12 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: were like that. But he will take that shot. He's 13 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 1: not afraid. And Derek Jeter runs into the stands, comes 14 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 1: out and he's gotten blood on him. JJ wats got 15 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: blood coming down his nose? All right? Go back to 16 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: when Bill Belichick called out Tom Brady when Brady had 17 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: a cut on his hand, and Check famously said something 18 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: like he had heart surgery. So, yeah, do you milcot? Okay, 19 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: he did in the moment, he did. But I think 20 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: what's getting lost and it's going to get lost today, 21 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: is Lebron hit a big shot, and he's done this 22 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: throughout his career. Like it's always weird when you defend 23 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 1: people that don't need to be defended. When you're going, 24 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: why am I defending Tom Brady or why am I 25 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: defending Lebron James, or why am I defending whoever? It 26 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: might be Marquis Player, But maybe it's because I think 27 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: sometimes we forget to focus on what is the task 28 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: at hand, and that is winning. And he hit the shot. 29 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: Did they look good no? Did he look good? No? 30 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: But they did what they needed to do, And don't 31 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: forget that he hit a big shot and not that okay, 32 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: he got poked in the eye by Draymond Green, and 33 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: Draymond Green called him a great actor after the game. 34 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if he had blurred vision, but the 35 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: fact that he hits a three and then says to 36 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: Steph Curry of all people, hey, I was seeing three 37 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: rims up there, as if Steph Curry cares. But that 38 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: was the drama we had last night. The other drama 39 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: and it's not drama, but it's just a curiosity. I'm 40 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: wondering if that's the last game Greg Popovich coaches in 41 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: the NBA, and its just a gut feeling. I have 42 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: no idea, no sources, not based on anything. They're kind 43 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: of just good enough, but they're not relevant, they're not exciting. 44 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: So you're on the cusp the Priphrey of the playoffs. 45 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: You're not in the lottery. Are you getting free agents 46 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: to go there? It just seems like it's a nice, little, 47 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: plucky team. But we're so used to Popovich coaching in 48 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: big games with relevant teams, and I just got that 49 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: feeling last night as he walked off the floor that 50 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: that might be it. We'll get phone calls. Robert Or 51 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: is going to join us coming up, certainly a lot 52 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: of talk about him being a Hall of Famer. I 53 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: figured might as well have Robert Or on and ask 54 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: him if he's a Hall of Famer. Does anybody think 55 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: Robert Or says that he is not a Hall of Famer? Yes, Paul, 56 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna pull the That's not for me 57 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 1: to decide why. No, But I'm not going to let 58 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: him get away with that. A y. I want to 59 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: know your opinion. Do you think, oh, you're a Hall 60 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: of Famer? Not? Do you What do you think of 61 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: other people who may not or may think you're a 62 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. What's the right answer for Robert or 63 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: to sound confident but not self serving. I think you 64 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: have to have confidence in yourself that you were great 65 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: at what you did. And I won seven titles and 66 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: I was involved in winning those titles. Does that make 67 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: me a Hall of Famer in my mind? Yes, but 68 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean anything like I think I'm one of 69 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: the better big game shooters. I mean my nickname is 70 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: big big Shot Bob. So Yes. Would I love to 71 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: be in the Hall of Fame? Yes, but you know 72 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: I would love the people who played against me if 73 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: they thought I was a Hall of Famer or they didn't, 74 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: then I would be fine with that. But you know 75 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: the media is going to vote on this, and it's 76 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: a little different. You know, maybe those players who understood 77 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: what this was like, the pressure that was their winning championships, 78 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: not just being on a team or on a roster 79 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: on the bench. I was contributing. So I think you 80 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: could you could say it in a way that doesn't 81 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: sound cocky. Yeah, McLevin. Okay, So the question for you, 82 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: do you belong on the Mount Rushmore of ESPN broadcasters, 83 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: Sports center anchors. I'll just say broadcasting. No, I'll come on. Well, 84 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: I got by Tellent Berman are up there? Right? Oh yeah, 85 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: let's whose sports centre? Yeah, that's why I said. But 86 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: even though yeah, you're I know, if I tell no, no, no, 87 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: if I tell you right, does feel different. It's like 88 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: a different category. Almost. Um do I think I belong 89 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: on sports Center Mount Rushmore? Yeah, I mean that's the right. 90 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: It's a lot easier than it is Robert Oria Hall 91 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: of Fame. Yes, yes, because for us, yea, I did volume. 92 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: I was there every night. It's not like I came 93 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,679 Speaker 1: in and did a specialty show every once in a while. 94 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: You know, you were doing two hundred sports centers a 95 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: year and I was there for eighteen years. I bet 96 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: you have said in the past, I don't really want 97 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: to dive into that. You like you have not wanted 98 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: to answer that question because you don't want to talk 99 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: about yourself. Well, no, because look, I'm I was fortunate 100 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: that I worked with great people now Bob Lee, Oberman, 101 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: Rich Eis and Stewart Scott, like they make you better. 102 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: But like if I was given a cocky answer, I'd say, oh, yes, 103 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: I'm on Mount Rushmore. Give me two like give me 104 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: one with my natural hair color, and then give me one. 105 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 1: You know when I was colored my hair, is that 106 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: like give me three, give me one now? No, I 107 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: look if Burman and Bob Lee, myself Oberman, uh you 108 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: know he got Steward in there, like there's there there's 109 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: more than enough spots or more than enough people for 110 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: four spots. But yeah, in my mind, when I did it, 111 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: how I did it? Yeah, I was. I did well. 112 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: I was good at sports Center. May not other things, 113 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: but I was good at Sports Center. Yeah.

Kenny Mane dang killboy Kilby. 116 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: Kilby was sneaky great. He had some he had some 117 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: good moment he didn't have enough moments. Hit some big 118 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: shots though.

Fritzie was the one 132 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: to add. Fritzie as nervous as can be. But I'm 133 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: a nervous person of general. So you could say that 134 00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: about any situation that was being said. There were two 135 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: Dnets here before Fritzie. Two. Fritzie wasn't there for the 136 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: first three weeks. Yeah, front Row definitely Mount Rushmore.

Yeah, man, 139 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: I had to get his wife on the phone, like 140 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: I had to talk about I passed the phone over healthcare. Yes, 141 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: I had to. I'm talking to his brother. My brother 142 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: was definitely involved bumps and teases at espn IRA and 143 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: I'm going, oh my god. And then I said I 144 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: didn't know if Fritzie was going to do it. I 145 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: honestly thought that Fritzie was not going to join us. 146 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: And I remember I would meet Paulie. We'd go have 147 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 1: beer and wings, and you go, Fritzie in or out, 148 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: and I go, it's fifty fifty, Like I don't know. 149 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: I get the feeling that Fritzie is not in.

But no one 151 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: knew I had a sister, so that would have been 152 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 1: strange to have all of a sudden pop up. Thank you, 153 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: you don't I don't know if you remember this, dame. 154 00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: We were eating beer and wings and you stepped out 155 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: to take a call from Fritzy and you never returned. 156 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: We were in the middle of eating and I had 157 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: like a picture of beer, and you know, we're finishing 158 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: our wings and beer.

I didn't. 169 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: I didn't promise that, but I just kept I didn't 170 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: have anything else to tell you. I had nothing else 171 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: to about all the dreams you've made you come true 172 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: for all of us, especially me, with some of the 173 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,719 Speaker 1: things that we would never have experienced or accomplished if 174 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: we stayed there or we're pretty much at any other 175 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: place of business. I promised you that you could do comedy. 176 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: I did not promise that you would make people laugh. 177 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: That was very wise by you, because he would have 178 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: broke that promise over and over again. All Right, we'll 179 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: get some phone calls here coming up. Whole question, mclovin. Okay, 180 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: we haven't talked about it a little bit, but would 181 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: you rather watch a no hitter or a twelve ten 182 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: home run fest fifty four percent hitter? Okay? Corey Kluber 183 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: threw a no hitter last night for the Yankee She 184 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: has Paul, I want to go back to Robert Ry 185 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: for a second. Okay, he really is on an island 186 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: for this Hall of Fame thing, because there's no other 187 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: player like him in history. He is. He only started 188 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: four hundred eighty games out of eleven hundred possible. He 189 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: evered seven points for his career. He never made an 190 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: All Star team. My guess is there's not one athlete 191 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: in any sport who never made an All Star that 192 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: made a Hall of Fame. This might be unique for 193 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: all sports. His career is based on moments. Yeah, and 194 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,599 Speaker 1: a handful of shots that were really really really important 195 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: and change franchises. But as if you look at his 196 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: regular season stats, they're nowhere near it. You could double 197 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: his stats, no offense. And he's not a Hall of Famer, 198 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: and I still think he should be. But he's a 199 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: unique case like nothing else. Todd is a limerick by 200 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: the way, based off last night's Lakers Warriors game. Todd, 201 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 1: do you want to do your limerick? I do want 202 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: to do my limerick. Okay, Golden State had a thirteen 203 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: point lead Steph Curry. They kept looking to feed. Then 204 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: Lakers started to fly. Lebron poked in the eye, got 205 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: the bucket and the seventh seed. All right, I think 206 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: your limericks are pretty good. That one, that one was 207 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: real good. Now, I think your limericks are They're good. 208 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 1: I like writing them and I enjoy sharing them with 209 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: the But your mock headlines are not They have regressed. 210 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 1: And your sports related names depending on the holiday not good, 211 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: not creative. Going back to a lot of the same. 212 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: The limerick is really good. Maybe we have a little 213 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: thing there that I caught you in more on poetry 214 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: than in the headline.

I know it. 216 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: Didn't I tell you to come up with limericks and 217 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 1: then we would we would put those on the website. 218 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: I I've written about I'm still working on it.

Yes, some people, some people were speculating 244 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: Lebron when he does this, when he does a flop 245 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: or he gets hit, he milks it a little bit 246 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: on the ground to get like a quick time out 247 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: for himself, a quick rest. That's what a lot of 248 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: people thought last night and other times in his career, 249 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: that hey, you know what, he's not hurt that bad, 250 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: but if I could buy myself sixty seconds a win, 251 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 1: because you know, he's got to get right back in 252 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: there and be the future guy like a soccer player. 253 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: Soccer players do that, and he's a soccer man. Frank 254 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: and California High Frank, Hi, Dan, thanks a lot for 255 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: the call. Yeah, So as far as Lebron goes, a 256 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: lot of people I just think nit pick this guy 257 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: a little bit too much. I'm not saying he didn't 258 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: sell the call at all, but you know, a couple 259 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: of callers ago, someone said that a world player of 260 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: the Warriors had to motivate him. Michael Jordan was making 261 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: up reasons to be motivated. Guys do that in pro 262 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: sports all the time. And as far as the hit 263 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 1: from Draymond goes, again, I think he might have been 264 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: milking that a little bit. But Draymond is a huge 265 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: man and he hits him in the eye and we're 266 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: all supposed to act like Lebron didn't even feel it. 267 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: I just think we nitpick Lebron more than any other 268 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: athlete in history. If Russell Westbrook or Kobe gobless his 269 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: soul or Michael did what he did last night, hit 270 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: a triple double and the shot five feet behind the 271 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: three point line to win the game, we'd be talking 272 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: about how amazing they are. And also, as far as 273 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: Gregg Popovitch goes down, I actually agree with you because 274 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: the truth is for San Antoni to get relevant again, 275 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: they'd have to tank, and I don't think Popovitch wants 276 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: to do that. Thank you, Frank fair point, fair point. 277 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: It's just Lebron's polarizing. Do you either love him or 278 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: you don't, and it feels like there's no in between. 279 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: He's he does everything you want. He plays plays hard, 280 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: plays hurt big shots, wins games consistent seventeen consecutive years 281 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: where he's average at least twenty five points. Again, I mean, 282 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: it's incredible, but it's not enough, never enough. If he 283 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: was the first to do this, then it would be amazing, 284 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: but he's not. Therefore it's ye. But yeah, Michael Jordan 285 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: never won a play in game tournament. You're right, just 286 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: check the record. End. He never had to play in 287 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: a play in tournament game. You can turn it around, Yes, 288 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: so I can, yes, mcle you know, but I do 289 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: really like at all time player rankings ESPN, he is 290 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: number two on every list. Now, it's it's not like 291 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: he's being shrift short trip by history. Well you can't, like, 292 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: you can't deny what he's done, but people still go 293 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: out of their way to be critical of him. Absolutely, 294 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: I mean that guy was right. We if if Curried 295 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: hit that shot, we would not have. But think about 296 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: that second greatest player of all time. Let's say, yeah, 297 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: does anybody come close to getting that kind of criticism 298 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: in any sport where I say, the second best football player, 299 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: second best baseball player unless there was a steroid baseball 300 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: guy that did liked. Does anybody say anything negative about 301 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: Willie Mays? Right, maybe he's the second greatest player of 302 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: all time, Like nobody's saying anything negative about him. Second 303 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: greatest football player of all time. Let's say it's Tom Brady. 304 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: The second guy is Jim Brown. Nobody's gone Jim Brown's acquitter, 305 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: you know, acting more important, Like what would they be 306 00:16:55,400 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: saying it? Just Lebron with today with social media is 307 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: the most criticized athlete we have, I don't. I don't 308 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: think it's closed because he's playing more games and he's 309 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:15,959 Speaker 1: on national TV, and I just, by all accounts, for 310 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 1: a guy who grew up without a father and was 311 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: thrust into spotlight at sixteen fifteen, that's pretty impressive. Yeah, 312 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: I'm a club historical hot take. I hate to do it. 313 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: Willie mays that famous basket catch over his head. Yeah, 314 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: why you just run around it and get underneath the 315 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: ball he pulled to Jim Edmonds and made that way 316 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: more dramatic than he had to. Yeah. Ken Griffe Junior 317 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: would have just been there. Yeah. Yeah, Andrew Jones nobody 318 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 1: talks about. He would have gotten it in throwing the 319 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: guy out of second Oh my god, do you realize 320 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 1: I was there at Sports Center when you had Ken 321 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: Griffey Junior calling up Harold Reynolds and complaining that we 322 00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: gave too much credit to Jim Edmonds. Catches Like you're going, 323 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 1: like I remember Harold hung up the phone. Where, Like 324 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,880 Speaker 1: was that Junior? He goes, Yeah, he thinks we're given 325 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,959 Speaker 1: too much credit to Jim Edmonds catches.

It doesn't matter? 354 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: Hey Jeff, Hey, what's going on? Having a conversation with 355 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: my mom? Didn't know you will coming to me. She's 356 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 1: here rode with me. A big fan of the stop. Listen, hey, Dn. 357 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: That interview with Chris Webber was excellent. Man, he's probably 358 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: one of the best people. What you have on My 359 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: question to you, though, is this, with all of these 360 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 1: no hitters, do you think it's good for baseball or 361 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 1: bad for baseball? And do you think they're going to 362 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: change the ball because it seems like the season of 363 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 1: the It seems like a revenge of the picture. That's 364 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 1: what I'm looking at, because if you have two more, 365 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: I mean, what is it? What's the rector for most 366 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 1: no hitters in the season. That's what I will be wondering. 367 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: I think it's seven in the modern game. Seven. I 368 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: think it's the modern modern game eighteen hundreds. There was 369 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: an eid. Oh, okay, do I think it's good for baseball? 370 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 1: I think it kind of points out the problem with baseball. 371 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: It's it's swinging miss that nobody puts the ball in play. 372 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: And I don't know if you get embarrassed if you 373 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: get no hit anymore.

Who's the scariest 380 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: guy you ever played against? Scary? Like? Who made you nervous? 381 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 1: Dennis Rodman kind of made me nervous. You never know 382 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: what to get out of Dennis. You didn't have those 383 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: days where he coming out and he's a nice guy 384 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: and then he's a dirty guy, so you never knew 385 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 1: it Dennis. But after I got a chance to play 386 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: with Dennis, I realized he's probably one of the smartest 387 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: players you would ever come across. Man. He was incredible. 388 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,199 Speaker 1: People talk about Alvin Robertson being one of the guys 389 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: that you just stayed away from and Vernon knxwell, like 390 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 1: those were two guys that you weren't quite sure what 391 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 1: you were going to get. I didn't have a chance 392 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: to play against Alvan, but playing with Vernon, I understand 393 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: when people come from when he say that Vernon was 394 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: a guy who played a lot of passion, and people 395 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: who don't know athletes, you know when they played a 396 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: lot of passion, they can come out in a lot 397 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 1: of different ways. And I tell people all the time, 398 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: if I have to pick one teammate to play with, 399 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: it's gonna be verning because I know he's gonna have 400 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 1: your back regardless of what's going on. You know, I'm 401 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: not just talking about when it comes up like competing. 402 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: I'm talking a when it comes to compete. I'm not 403 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 1: talking about this as far as you know skill set. 404 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: I'm just saying I'm gonna have your back. You could 405 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: be wrong, you could be one hundred percent wrong. Vernon's 406 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: gonna have your back. He's gonna tell you you're wrong. 407 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 1: But I got your back, you know. So that's what 408 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: I mean by that. I love Vernon the death. He 409 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 1: was a strong, fierce competitor, and he's one of those 410 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,199 Speaker 1: guys when you first come into the league and you 411 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: have you have to go up against guys like Scottie 412 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: pipp and you know, Charles Oakley. Vernon's gonna hype you 413 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: up because he knows how to talk trash, not just 414 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,959 Speaker 1: to the teammates, but to you to get you fired up. 415 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: Where were you when Rudy tump Jonovich gave his Hall 416 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: of Fame speech and then gave you a shout out 417 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: that you should be in the Hall of Fame. I 418 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: was actually outside at home. I was recording it, and 419 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: because my wife and I was doing something in the yard, 420 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: and uh, well she was doing something in the yard. 421 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 1: I was watching, and so, uh my phone was just 422 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: going off and my meeting. I was like, what's going on, 423 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: what's wrong? I just thought I went to my kids, 424 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: like something wrong. My kids and I just kept looking. 425 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: So I walked in the house and I started watching it, 426 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 1: and at first I was like, what, damn, Rudy just 427 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: straight forgot about me, you know, And I thought that, 428 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 1: and I thought that's why everybody was talking to text me, 429 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: like maybe ruly just forgot about you. And at the 430 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: end he gave me that you know, that shout out, 431 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: and I was like, wow, you know, for a guy 432 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: to take time in this Hall of Fame speech to 433 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: you know, to put me and then try to, you know, 434 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: get some recognition for me for the Hall of Fame. 435 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: It's it's an honor, you know. That's all I can say. Okay, now, 436 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,199 Speaker 1: I don't want you to say it's up for others. 437 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: I'm asking you, do you think you're a Hall of Famer? Um? 438 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: You know, every person thinks he's a Hall of Famer. 439 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: And I know every guy who ever played this game, 440 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: unless you only played one season, thinks you're a Hall 441 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: of Famer. Days I do, and days I don't. You know, 442 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you because I look at 443 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: some of the people in the Hall of Fame and 444 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: I want to hide the hell they got there. And 445 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: then I look at some of the people when so yeah, 446 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: they deserve to be there, and it's it's one of 447 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 1: those things that's it's debatable, um, you know, and for me, 448 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: I'm fine with the debate. And I love when people 449 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 1: say I don't belong because they don't know jack shit. 450 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: And I like it when my players, you know, just 451 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: like when you had Reggie on your show and he 452 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 1: said I do. So when you got your your colleagues 453 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 1: saying that you do, that's all that matter. I can 454 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: care about care less about half the people who don't 455 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 1: because they never played the game. They didn't know what 456 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: I brought to the game. Asking any of my teammates 457 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: what I brought to the game. Came to play every day, 458 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: you know, think about the sixteen seasons. I didn't miss 459 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 1: that many games, and I played for a long time. 460 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: I had the most playoff games. I never lost in 461 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: the first round the playoffs. I know it when I 462 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: say I it's a team sport, but it takes a 463 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: you know, certain individuals to bring that out. And for 464 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 1: me to have all the things I did in this game, 465 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: I can say I did even though I never made 466 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: an all defensive team, which I should have my first 467 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: four years in the league, because you know, think about 468 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: I had one hundred steals on a hundred blocks in 469 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 1: once in like three straight seasons and never got talked 470 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: about for a defensive you know team so and it 471 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: wouldn't that many guys doing that and for me and 472 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 1: I never and I'm the presson that never plubs myself 473 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: because this game to me, wasn't about individual stats. It 474 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: was about going out and doing stuff as a team 475 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 1: and winning championships and being successful as a unit. Because 476 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: if you're successful as a unit, you were successful as 477 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: a person. Would you trade your career for Karl Malons? Uh? No, 478 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: you know, I would trade my salaries for years, but 479 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: other than that, I wouldn't trade my thinking about Karl 480 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: Malone is, uh, he hasn't. He didn't. He never wanted 481 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 1: the finals. He weighs for three, oh for four, I'm 482 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: seven for seven for seven, you know, and I'm not 483 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: trading that. You know. I know a lot of people 484 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: will look at what your career where he scored a 485 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: lot of points with third leading score all time. No, 486 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: because it's all about winning. It's not about individual stats. 487 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: It's about getting it done as a team. This is 488 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: not you know, singles tennis, where you would be successful 489 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,719 Speaker 1: and being a single person but I'm happy with my career. 490 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 1: It could have gone better. It could have been some 491 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: things I could have did better, and it could have 492 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,199 Speaker 1: been some the ways where I was more voiceful and 493 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 1: wanted to step up. Because you know, there's so many 494 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: times where I look back at my career and you 495 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: took a back seat. You know, That's why I love 496 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: Rudy t because he knew the skill set I had 497 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: and he put me out then he you know, he 498 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: ran plays for me. Once I left Husting, I never 499 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: had a play run for me again. You know, it's 500 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: a funny thing. Think about that. Twenty years left. That's hard. 501 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 1: I never had a play run for me. Even when 502 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: I went off in that series with San Antonio playing 503 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: the Pistons, none of those plays were ran for me. 504 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 1: If I was going to single out one shot, though 505 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 1: that I only get to show one shot. What's the 506 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 1: one that I showed Robert Doran? You know it's everybody 507 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: knows me for the shot against the Sacramental Kings and 508 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: two against the Western Conference, And for me, that's one 509 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: of my greatest shots, probably the greatest shots. But for me, 510 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: if I have to do something personally, it goes back 511 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 1: to the Detroit Pencils in two thousand and five. My 512 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: middle son Cameron, he would telling me that, Dad, you 513 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: don't dunk anymore. And then I said okay, and and 514 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,679 Speaker 1: then that game. You know, when I went off in 515 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: Game five in Detroit, I had a really good dunk 516 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: and a friend of mine, Opie Older Stair, who does paintings, 517 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 1: he calls it the batman dug on the why. But 518 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 1: for me, I think that move for me would be 519 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,719 Speaker 1: the one that I would show because it had had 520 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: a special moment for me. But one of my kids 521 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: was like, oh, you don't dunk anymore. And then I 522 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 1: did it on the biggest stage in two thousand and 523 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: five in the final so at an old age of 524 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: thirty five. So that dump. Those paintings behind you pretty 525 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: pretty cool. Those are your seven titles. Yes, those are 526 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 1: what Opie did, and so he represents each title a 527 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: shot in the progression. And so I did those and 528 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: they're hung in my house. And I just used that 529 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: as a background because if you see what's behind it, 530 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 1: it's a liquor cabinet. And because and I don't want 531 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: everybody know d of liquor cabinet behind me, but you 532 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: get into Hall of Fame. We're breaking into that cabinet right, 533 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, you know. It's it's weird you think 534 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: doing COVID that you have a couple of drinks and 535 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: I have it, man, because I was, you know, trying 536 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: to get back you know, I went back to school, um, 537 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: and I've just been, you know, trying to focus on 538 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: me because I know I didn't want that COVID nineteen, 539 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: meaning those nineteen pounds to jump on me like a 540 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: lot of my friends. I said, I said, maybe twelve 541 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: jumped on me, but not nineteen. So I got less 542 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: work to do now that we can get back into 543 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: the gym. So you know, but you know, if I 544 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: do get into Hall of Fame, you know, look out, 545 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: I'm breaking open to good stuff. He's Robert or the 546 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: Lakers analystspect Spectrum Sports Net. Seven time NBA Champion is 547 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: a podcast, Big Shots, Bob. It's a big shot by 548 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: Lebron last night. Oh huge, you know. And it's it's 549 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: crazy how the biggest shots I always come, well a 550 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: lot of times come from a broken play. Think about that, 551 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: uh KCP was driving and Bron thought he had a 552 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: lamp and Draymond Green that what he was supposed to 553 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: had great defense. Came over and Casey was kind of 554 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: hung up, and so he kicked it back to Lebron. 555 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: Lebron shout at j from the logo, you know the 556 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: logo Bron. So it was it was amazing. What do 557 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: you see when you see Steph Curry? A machine? He 558 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: is a perfect example of hard work and dedication and sacrifice. 559 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: You have those unusual athletes that come into this game 560 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: and can do things that nobody else can. Um if you, 561 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: I think the best thing for him last year was 562 00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: missing last season, getting hurt and and going in the 563 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: lab and just working on his jay, thinking about it. 564 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: When you hurt and you know you can't do much, 565 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: you just shoot, You just shoot, just shoot. Even though 566 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: he was a great shooter, he became an upper He 567 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: became an upper echelon shooter. His body became fresher, he 568 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: got stronger. If you look at his body, you look 569 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: at his body when he came to the league to 570 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: now he is a man. Now, you know, he was 571 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: like a little skinny boy. And now I don't say 572 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: that as any disrespect because a lot of athletes are skinny. 573 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: But he put on muscle, He got stronger and luck 574 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: he got faster, and his skill set as far as 575 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 1: dribbling has always been, you know, up there with Kyrie's, 576 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: and so to see what he's able to do and 577 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: learn how to escape and constantly moving. And then we 578 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: talk about guys in this league like Rip Hallington and 579 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: Reggie Miller who always moved. I think Steph is taking 580 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: that to a new level because he's constant movement. So 581 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: he must be one of the best. He must be 582 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: in shape better in any athlete in the league because 583 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: he's a constant movement. And then to bring the ball 584 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: up and then have the strength to shoot it from 585 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: half court with accuracy. This guy's machine. Now you played 586 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: against Lebron Michael Kobe, so I don't know how many 587 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 1: players have played against all three, but yeah, the magic dominique. 588 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: There is there any similarities though? Is there a common 589 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: thread with those three guys? Uh? The intensity I think, 590 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: and those three guys were of a very intense um. 591 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,959 Speaker 1: They could carry a team. But you know, MJ, I 592 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: think he just separates itself from when you when you 593 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: talk about the intensity, and Kobe was right there on 594 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: the edge and I never played with him. J just 595 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: played against him, and you can tell the difference. And 596 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: I was with when I played with Kobe, it was 597 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: a different intense Kobe, because our whole team was intense, 598 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: from Rick Fox, d Fish, b Shaw, you know, all 599 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: of us. We were intense. You know, we know called 600 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 1: show Shack and Kobe. But that's why we won three 601 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: in a row. But I just look at his Michael 602 00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: Jordan intensity and listening to him and watch him play, 603 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: I think he was just, you know, a very intense dude. 604 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: He played with a lot of passion. And that's the 605 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 1: thing about it. You know, we always sing a lot 606 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: of guys like Kobe, MJ and Shaq. You know, every 607 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: NBA game, every NBA guy plays a lot of passion. 608 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: Um if they didn't have passion, they wouldn't be where 609 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: they are. And it's just some guys can take it 610 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: to another level and then some guys just get you know, 611 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: noted for that. You know, you got certainly think about it. 612 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 1: You know, Tim Duncan one of the best players that 613 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: ever played this game. He showed no emotions, so people 614 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: never told he played with he played with a lot 615 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: of hard a lot of passion. He just just have 616 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: antics and so people were like, oh he plays with 617 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: You know, nobody has big or heart to anybody else. 618 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 1: You know, we all have heart to get to the NBA. 619 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: We all have passions. It's how it's with the guy talent, 620 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 1: the talent that God grace us with push us over 621 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: the edge. And all those guys have the talent that 622 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: God gracing with like no other. So that's what it 623 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 1: boils down to. I wondered about this Robert watching up 624 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: last night walking off the floor. I wanted to thaunch 625 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: the last time we're going to see him as the 626 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 1: coach of the Spurs. I think so, I really think so. 627 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 1: I think you know, you know, with him losing his 628 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 1: wife and his big three gun, you know, he figured 629 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: he'll give it one more chance, and I just don't 630 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: see him having the desire to do it thinking about 631 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: a pop is a passionate guy. Also, he has that fire. 632 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: But it's time for him to do something else. Um, 633 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: he's coached for a long time with one franchise. You 634 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 1: know he does he has a passion for wine. Um, 635 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: you know, he should do anything. He should be an 636 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 1: inspirational speaker. He should go around the country doing that. 637 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: That way he can spend more time with his family 638 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 1: and get off that quarter. That's someone else that team. 639 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: Is he funny? He is funny at times, high iq 640 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: very educated man, very funny, very sarcastic funny, But he 641 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: he is. He is so important a lot of those players' 642 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: lives is the fact that, you know, when we play basketball, 643 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: we get so hung up on perfecting our craft that 644 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: we sacrifice a lot of the time with our families. 645 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 1: And he is so intent on making sure guys spend 646 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: time with their family and understanding importance of that, you know. 647 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 1: And I know after him losing his wife, he probably 648 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 1: I haven't seen them since that. I'm sure he probably 649 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 1: iterates that a little bit more of me. I know 650 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 1: that with me. When my daughter was sick in the hospital, 651 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 1: he told me don't come back to the team until 652 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: she got she got out of the hospital, and then 653 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: I came back. He's like, what are you doing here? 654 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 1: She's home? Is enough, get out of here. And you know, 655 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: that's the type of guy that nobody really understands and knows. 656 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 1: They just knows him from playing basketball. But he's a 657 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 1: really heartfelt guy when it comes to family. That's why 658 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: he treats his team like that, Like family. I'll leave 659 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: you with this. How concerned should Laker fans be this 660 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: year with this playoffs, with this team in the playoffs. 661 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: I think they should be concerned because they're having they 662 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: don't have enough continuity right now. You know, they're still 663 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: trying to adapt drumming. They're still trying to put ad 664 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: back in the mix with drumming, and it's it's different 665 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 1: kind of feel. Um. You know, if you look at 666 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 1: this team, even though they wanted last season with a 667 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: pretty much new team, this is a new team again. Um, 668 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 1: you got Kassol, you got Matthews, you got Montrez Harold, 669 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: all these new editions that they're still trying to learn 670 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 1: how to play together. And you see some teams like 671 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:19,879 Speaker 1: when you could put the Big three, the first pick 672 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 1: three and uh it Selfts together, they just clicked. This 673 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 1: team didn't. They haven't clicked. And hopefully they find a 674 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: way to click. But they haven't really clicked yet because 675 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 1: of all the new editions, all the injuries, all the protocols. 676 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 1: So this team is still learning and they're and they're 677 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,359 Speaker 1: in a great bracket you know, And people always talk 678 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 1: about bracketology when it comes to college, but I've learned 679 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: from day one from Tree Rollins. I know that's the 680 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 1: name from the past, but it's all about where you 681 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 1: at in in the NBA brackets, who you match up 682 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 1: with well with and decide that the Lakers are on 683 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 1: There're no biggs, no dominant bigs in that side, and 684 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 1: think about that. You know, Ad one of the most 685 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 1: dominant bigs in the game. I know everybody said, well 686 00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:02,319 Speaker 1: what about um Yo kitchen Yokis is not a defensive big. 687 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 1: He can't pay, he cannot play a D and so 688 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 1: I think they're in a great back a bracket. They 689 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 1: can learn how they play together as they grow through 690 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 1: this um let's playoffs. So I think there I'll be fine. 691 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 1: But the challenges when they get to the conference finals, 692 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 1: when they have bigs and they have athletic guys, because 693 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,919 Speaker 1: I'm thinking Utah and the Clippers are going to meet 694 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,880 Speaker 1: and whoever wins that series are going to meet the 695 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 1: Lakers in the Western Conference finals. If Lebron kicked it 696 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,799 Speaker 1: out to you right now, would you make it? I would, 697 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: thought someone else, and I usually don't do that. Thought 698 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:43,840 Speaker 1: someone else because I had I hadn't shot basketball and forever, 699 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 1: you know, my son who's fifteen. He's always like, Dad, 700 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:48,840 Speaker 1: let's play. I look at him like, I'll pass it 701 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 1: to you because I can't do it right now, give 702 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 1: me a year and give me a trainer and give 703 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: me a nutrition. I get back out that then I'm 704 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 1: just kidding.

No, no, oh man, that sounds good. 741 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:25,400 Speaker 1: Though a little serkraut that'd be pretty good, spicing mosted 742 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,640 Speaker 1: for life, thank you. Uh. You know, I was wondering 743 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 1: that the guy who plays the best defense is always 744 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,359 Speaker 1: the guy who just made a shot. Have you ever 745 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 1: played pick up where a guy hits a shot and 746 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,799 Speaker 1: then of course he's yelling as he's going down the 747 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 1: floor like, come on, I pick up, get that guy 748 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 1: right there. You never see that if a guy misses 749 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,840 Speaker 1: a shot and then he goes back on defense where 750 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,360 Speaker 1: he's so excited to play defense. That was me. I 751 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 1: was a phony defender. I'd hit a shot obviously, and 752 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 1: then I would go back and I'd be pointing out, 753 00:39:55,960 --> 00:40:00,800 Speaker 1: you get fifteen, you got it? Okay? You know I 754 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 1: you know, I get in my defensive stance. I wouldn't 755 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:07,880 Speaker 1: scare it anybody like come on sixty three eight acne 756 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:13,000 Speaker 1: yeah dah McClean. When I miss a shot, I ferociously 757 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,359 Speaker 1: chase my own rebound. And if I always thought if 758 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,759 Speaker 1: I had that energy after other but other rebounds, I'd 759 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 1: be a good rebound. You know, you probably didn't miss 760 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 1: a bunch as I do. But you know when you 761 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 1: miss and you know where it's going to go and 762 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 1: you rush to it. No comments, you haven't missed. No, 763 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 1: I was always surprised when I missed. Therefore I never 764 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,360 Speaker 1: went for the rebound. Or did you shoot him back off? 765 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 1: What was your stot? Yes, Oh, there's nothing better than 766 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,759 Speaker 1: to take the shot and then you start backing up. 767 00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,719 Speaker 1: It's so good. I mean, it helps when it goes in, 768 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 1: but man, is it so good when it goes in 769 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,319 Speaker 1: Larry Bird style? Well, I wouldn't say that. A couple 770 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,800 Speaker 1: of things that I noticed last night that probably won't 771 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:54,800 Speaker 1: get that much attention because they'll focus on Lebron hopefully 772 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 1: the shot, but probably you know his eye. Twenty five 773 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:02,080 Speaker 1: free throw attempts last night for the Lakers the Warriors, 774 00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: you know, way too many turnovers last night. Give credit 775 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:09,080 Speaker 1: to the Lakers. They played great defense. And Caruso, I 776 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,160 Speaker 1: know it sounds strange to say he played great defense 777 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 1: last night on Steph Curry. He's just you know, he's 778 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,280 Speaker 1: getting help with Anthony Davis, and they do a decent 779 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 1: job on Steph Curry as well as could you know, 780 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:27,279 Speaker 1: I guess as possible the Lakers, if they're winning the 781 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,920 Speaker 1: championship this year, are going to win because they're playing 782 00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:34,200 Speaker 1: great defense. I truly believe that. Let me see Paul 783 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:38,479 Speaker 1: in California and then we'll close up shop. Hey Paul, 784 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: Hey guys that would call in because I kind of 785 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 1: want to be Tebow's defense attorney real quick. All right, So, 786 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,720 Speaker 1: so something something I keep hearing and I don't understand. 787 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 1: I know there's gonna be doubters. I know there's going 788 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,960 Speaker 1: to be people that hate on this move, but I 789 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:57,440 Speaker 1: didn't expect so many of the radio personalities yourself, Coward 790 00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:01,400 Speaker 1: so forth. So many of you are heavily criticizing this, 791 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,080 Speaker 1: and I thought you'd have a little more vision to 792 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,120 Speaker 1: understand what it is that Urban Meyer gets out of 793 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:09,279 Speaker 1: bringing Tebow in. And I think you guys just aren't 794 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 1: appreciating everything that he brings besides just what's on the 795 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,480 Speaker 1: field and not you know, off the field matters. Guy 796 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,560 Speaker 1: is the heart of a champion, one two national titles 797 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,520 Speaker 1: in college. I'll have to tell you. I'll give you 798 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,399 Speaker 1: an example. Donna's had them right. He's on the Miami Heat. 799 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,440 Speaker 1: He's over forty years old. He's not going to give 800 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,880 Speaker 1: you ten ten points, ten rebounds or any kind of 801 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,399 Speaker 1: meaningful comedy. But he didn't take he didn't take nine 802 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,400 Speaker 1: years off. And you know, nobody else hired Tebow for 803 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:39,080 Speaker 1: that whatever that is off the field stuff. And thanks 804 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:44,360 Speaker 1: for the phone call, Paul. Look, I'm curious. I'm not critical. 805 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,799 Speaker 1: I'm just curious with Tebow, that's all. There's a big 806 00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,840 Speaker 1: difference there. I don't have any problems. I said, you know, 807 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,560 Speaker 1: I can make the ninety man roster. What we learned 808 00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,960 Speaker 1: brought to you by Mercedes Benz.
