Give the audience a sample here 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.400 of what could be in store for them today. 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:19.800 Can do that? 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:21.640 Paul, he had one What would you most like to know? 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:27.200 The outcome of Lillard trade, Northwestern's investigation, Rembanyama's career, or other. 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:28.400 So that's something to think about. 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:29.120 Okay. 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:30.680 We had after. 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:32.920 Watching Victor w in his first two Summer League games, 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:36.080 I think he will have a respectable NBA career. He'll 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.720 be an all time great. Someday he won't come close 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.840 to living up to expectations, or it's ridiculous to evaluate 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:43.520 a player after two meaningless games. 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:44.200 Okay. 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:47.520 We also had what's least likely, least likely James Harden 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.520 to the Clippers, Dame to the Heat, Chris Paul will 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.160 be a bad fit on Golden State, Victor will be 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:56.080 an NBA bust, or that I tuned in for any 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.600 of the MLB drafts, what's the least likely? 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:02.760 I watched the first two the LSU teammates. Here's the 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:06.920 problem with Baseball's drafting. And you know, in no particular 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.920 order what we're discussing today, but I was watching the 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.640 draft and I go, you know what, these LSU players 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:16.640 coming off the World Series and highly thought of, you know, 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:21.080 the pitcher Paul's schemes is considered, you know, maybe the 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:24.760 next mark prior from the standpoint of being the perfect pitcher. 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.800 Remember Mark Pryor when he was coming out of college. 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:31.640 Oh my gosh, that's the perfect picture. Steven Strasburg. We 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.760 were told, oh, that's the perfect picture. There is no 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:39.440 perfect picture. But Paul Skins out of LSU is highly touted. 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:42.000 He's going to the Pirates, and I thought, okay, you know, 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:46.080 that's wonderful. I won't see him for three more years. 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:52.640 No other sport fails to capitalize off championships like baseball does. 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.120 Why is it that an eighteen year old can go 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.080 right out of high school, maybe a year in the 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.520 G League or college, go right. 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.520 To the NBA. 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:06.039 You know, Adrian Peterson was ready to play after his 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:09.039 freshman year at Oklahoma. Now he had to wait because 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:12.640 college football makes you wait. In the NFL in conjunction 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.800 makes you wait. But still you get to see them. 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.920 That's the problem with you know, baseball players. You're like, 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.200 all right, okay, we're gonna wait a little while here 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:24.279 see these guys at LSU. 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:27.120 Sure, all right, Oh that's right that guy. Yeah you 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:28.800 want a title? How many years ago? 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.160 Yeah, Paul, you really have to go back three years. 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.040 Like if you go back to the draft, usually it's 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:33.480 three years. 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:34.280 You kind of know what's what? 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:37.520 Like three years ago the twenty nineteen draft, Adley Rushman 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.080 to the Orioles, Bobby Witt Junior to the Royals, Andrew 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.320 Vaughn of the Socks, Josh Young for the Rangers. These 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.880 guys are all playing really well right now. But half 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:47.680 of the draft and looking the draft aren't in the 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.039 big shot. I'd say half of the first round have 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:51.440 not me the bigs after three years. 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:55.240 Okay, shouldn't there be a well, this would be if 0:05:55.279 --> 0:06:00.360 we ran baseball that every player drafted in thet's say, 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:04.920 the first fifteen picks of Major League Baseball the draft, 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:06.440 you get to go to the big league as soon 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.160 as you get drafted, Like. 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.800 You will find a roster spy for you tomorrow. 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.400 Yes, oh yeah, like Paul Skeens could be pitching for 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.520 the Pirates tomorrow. Like that would be great. You're able 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:22.240 to capitalize on that. But also we're wondering Elie de 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:25.080 la Cruz with the Reds. Can we put him in 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:28.080 the All Star Game tomorrow night? Does the commissioner? I 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:31.040 guess he has the power, but can you can you 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:34.960 add they've added players before, usually players who are retiring. 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:41.880 They're saying, hey, cal Ripken, you get to play, Miguel Cabrera, 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.480 you get to play, Like, how about a cameo here 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.839 for you guys. Let's say goodbye to these great players. 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:51.120 But what about you know, some of the emerging stars 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.680 here who aren't going to be in the All Star Game. Now, 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.200 they like to have that futures game, but nobody cares 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:58.880 about that. I want to see them be able to play. 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.160 And you know, the Reds have a couple of really 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.560 good players, but it'd be fun to see them in 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:07.359 the All Star Game. I know they have to be 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.760 worthy and there's voting process and then what managers are 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.280 picking the rest of the roster, but it would be 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:17.080 fun to see him because yesterday he stole three bases 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:21.680 in ninety seconds. He stole second, third, and home in 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:23.160 ninety seconds. 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:24.120 Be fun. 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:30.360 He's one of those, you know, you know, transformational type 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:32.200 of players where you go, oh my god, that guy, 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:35.200 he's gone from this to that and the excitement level 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:35.800 that he gives you. 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:37.040 Yes, Pump, it. 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:39.080 Appears that the commissioner could do that. I think the 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:40.760 commissioner can kind of doly want with the All Star 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.000 Game because it's an exhibition. I can't find that it's 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.240 ever been done before. The young player was inserted in 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:47.760 the All Star Game. That was just like he only 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:49.600 played thirty games and can you get in? I wonder 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:50.560 what the reaction will be to that. 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.760 Well, maybe it's just me that I be fun to 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.160 see that happen there. It's like, you know what, now, 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.120 I don't want to take somebody off the roster. I 0:07:58.160 --> 0:07:59.960 don't want well, that's good TV. Yeah, I don't want 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.600 the commissioner walks up to somebody or the manager goes, hey, 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:05.360 Jimmy Lipper come here. 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:11.160 Yes, skip, we got somebody who's. 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:14.720 Going to replace. She's more exciting there. What Yeah, but 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:16.960 we got some nice parting gifts there, yes, ton. 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.200 Like a baseball hard knocks kind of thing. When we 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:21.200 need the book back from there? 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:25.080 Age seven seven three DP Show email address Dpat Danpatrick 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.240 dot com, Twitter handle at DP show and we have 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:32.280 the poll question email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com Twitter handle. 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:35.480 A DP show operator Tyler standing by to take your 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:37.720 phone calls. A lot of reaction to us going to 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:41.600 Ireland coming up next month, and it was pointed out 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:45.280 to me that Will Ferrell, while he's joining us, doesn't 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:46.000 like Notre Day. 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:48.560 Oh yeah, USC guy. 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:53.240 Yeah, used to stand on the sidelines and apparently, according 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:55.800 to Brady Quinn, make fun of the former Notre Dame 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:59.800 quarterback while he was playing. And I said, okay, what's 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.920 the problem with that? But Will Ferrell will join us 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.120 in Ireland. We'll be doing our shows over there at 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:06.720 the end of the month, and then we cap it 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:09.560 off with Notre Dame and Navy. Last I look Notre 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:11.800 Dame favored by twenty Yes, pom, I. 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:13.600 Could see Will showing up on set with a full 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:14.720 naval uniform full. 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:15.560 I'm fine with that. 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:18.360 Get in trouble for that, Yeah, it'd be wild. 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:19.960 Yeah, fine with that. 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:20.960 He's officially in though. 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.560 By the way, has anybody stole for the cycle before, 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:30.440 like stole second third in home? I guess you know 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:32.960 that would be over a course of a game. When's 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.640 the last time somebody stole second third in home in 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:39.000 a game? He did it in ninety seconds. Maybe we 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.560 could get some of our best people on that or 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:42.280 research people. 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:42.760 Yes, poem. 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.080 By the way, a lot of people are asking that picture. 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.920 You had a pretty good looking fish there in Montana. Yes, 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:50.960 what's the etiquette? Like, how often do you catch a fish. 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.600 It was a lot of work to get your first one. 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:57.160 This was on the Wise River, the Big Hole in Montana. 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:00.600 The complete fly fisherman is where I I went to 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:03.719 and stayed there with two of my brothers. But you 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:07.520 show up early, have breakfast, and then you get all 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:09.920 packed up and then you head out on the river 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:13.640 and then you're out there for about seven hours and 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:17.319 I think I caught about twenty five trout. Now it's 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:21.040 catch and release. By the way, the brown trout are unbelievable. 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:26.480 They are beace like they're killers, but give you know, 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:30.280 a great fight, and they're barbleous hooks, so it's really 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.200 hard to land them. They're very smart fish. But we 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:35.560 had a lot of fun and caught a couple of 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:40.040 fish that were about twenty inches long, and you know, 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:42.839 you know, there were a couple that got away, a 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:45.280 couple of big ones that got away with other people 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.160 who I was fishing with, where one I thought we 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:52.920 needed a bigger boat because it actually was hooked and 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.880 it was pulling the boat and then it snapped the line. 0:10:56.080 --> 0:11:01.199 But the scenery is spectacular there, beautiful and a lot 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.400 of fun. But I will say it's not Brad pitt 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:06.520 in a river runs through it. Just want to let 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:10.199 you know it's not that glamorous. At least we didn't 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.880 look that glamorous the way we were fly fishing. There 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.240 was nothing in slow motion. It was all you know, 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.200 I think I got my line caught in that bush 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:19.800 over there. 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:21.720 Yes, Paul, you don't keep a couple of. 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:24.000 The big ones to cook later over a roaring fire and. 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:27.120 No nothing, No, I love that it's catching. 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:29.040 Really, you guys don't like roll into Billings to go 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:31.000 to red lobster do what do you do for dinner? 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:34.040 No? No, we had chef. They had a husband and wife. 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:39.280 Unbelievable chefs that they cooked every single night, every single night. 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:40.840 And I met a. 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:47.360 Musician, Less Claypool. Yeah, he was there. Sean Lennon, John 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:50.320 Lennon's son was there fly fishing. So it was a 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.760 group of people there that you kind of throw everybody 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:55.280 together and you're out there fly fishing for a couple 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:55.680 of days. 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:56.760 Yes, Ton, what is the. 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:58.520 Safe window of time to get that truck back in 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.760 the water so that nothing terrible happens to the first. 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:03.800 Well, you have guides who will help you with that, 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:07.160 and they're very, very very knowledgeable, and they'll be If 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:08.840 they can't get the hook out, they leave it in 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.640 the net in the water and then you know, bring 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:15.400 it back up. But they're very aware and very sensitive of, 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:17.680 you know, keeping this place beautiful. 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:19.240 I didn't get see any. 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:22.560 Real animals, but I did talk to a woman who 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:24.880 gave me a ride to the airport and I said, 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:29.120 she goes, did you see any wildlife? And I go, no, No, 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:33.520 didn't see any elk or moose or and she goes, well, 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:36.080 you know, we have a problem with uh with wolves 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:40.199 And I go with wolves, She goes, yes, a lot 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:43.840 of them. And in the wintertime, we found that one 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:45.959 of the wolves went on our front porch and grabbed 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:46.959 the family dog. 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.160 And I go, what not grab and tickle either? 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.160 No, like, hey. 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:56.640 Around, yeah, grab and go. 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:58.720 Yeah, but they got the dog back. 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:04.079 But but the wolves are very aggressive. 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:05.559 Did they catch and release you like that? 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:10.679 There wasn't even a catch and release with the dog, 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:13.760 but they scared the wolf. But yeah, you know, you're 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:16.800 up there and you forget you're in the wilderness there. 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:18.400 I mean it's that. 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:21.840 They got bear, you know, I mean, they got stuff 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:23.960 going on there. But we didn't see any of that 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:25.920 I think it was too warm for these animals to 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.920 come out. But you know, there's not a cloud in 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:33.320 the sky, so when they say big sky country, there's 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:36.040 no cover. So when you're out in the sun, there's 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:38.719 no clouds whatsoever, it feels like and then all of 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.800 a sudden they start to emerge a little bit later 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.440 in the day. But a lot of fun and caught 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:47.480 some fish, so good vacation had by one in all. 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:50.880 All right, we'll take a break. We'll get our poll 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:54.040 question today. I am going to talk about victor Ie 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.960 by Yama. I'm going to talk about what's going on 0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:00.840 at Northwestern with their football program, to talk about the 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.439 PAC twelve. I got an update on the PAC twelve 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:06.920 and what direction they're headed in. They may not be 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:09.360 aware of what direction they're headed in.

I 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:46.720 was just told a story about a woman whose dog 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:50.600 got cartered off the front porch by a wolf. This 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:54.479 program brought to you by Mercedes Benz, the Versatile EQB, 0:14:54.640 --> 0:15:00.400 the Sublime EQS Sedan. Mercedes Benz makes electric extraor ordinary, 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:04.480 the vehicle's electric, the feeling all Mercedes MBUSA dot Com 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.160 slash EQ, I. 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:07.960 Ask and we deliver. 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:14.600 How many players have had I guess stole for the cycle, second, 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.880 third and home in the same inning. Fourteen players have 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:21.240 done it since nineteen seventy four. Elie Dela Cruz the 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:26.160 latest to do so. John Birdie of the Marlins did 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:31.480 it in twenty twenty. Let's see, Yeah, this has happened 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:34.080 quite a few times. A couple of really good players, 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:41.080 Devon White, Paul Mollider, Dusty Baker, Pete Rose. Okay, so 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:46.360 pretty good list there. But Elie Delacruz very exciting. He 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:51.240 is a highlight waiting to happen. And you know he's 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:56.040 given the Reds. They're interesting now, and that's what you want. 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:59.280 You don't want to be average. And then nobody's interested 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.400 in the red There above average and they are interesting. 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:04.920 That's what you're looking for. And if you're the Pirates 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:06.760 and you get the number one pick in the draft, 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:10.920 why wouldn't you just say, Paul, how about we pitch 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:11.680 a little bit here? 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:13.840 How about we give you a takes now. 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.680 They don't like you to get you into that first 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:20.000 contract too soon, you know, they don't want you to 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:22.240 all of a sudden go, you know, I'm ready to 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:25.760 renegotiate here after a couple of years. If you were 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:29.080 watching Summer League basketball on Friday night, and maybe you weren't, 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:32.160 but social media was going to let you know about 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:35.800 Victor one Byama. He made his debut and you know 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:40.120 it wasn't impressive at all. But for those who overreact 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:45.080 on Friday, are you overreacting last night? Because Victor one 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:48.240 Byama doesn't show you much on Friday night? And they 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:51.600 were sort of average numbers, pedestrian numbers where you go 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:54.600 nine and eight and a couple of blocks there, and 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:58.520 then last night you got to see the glimpses of 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:01.960 what he could be. But keep this in mind, he's 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:06.560 had two practices, he's nineteen years of age. You're playing 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:09.280 with guys that you really don't know, and this is 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:13.119 sort of an AAU type feel. There's some bad basketball 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:17.240 being played. And as I've maintained with Victor Wan Bayama, 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:20.879 the impact you're going to have or see is on 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:25.399 the defensive end. That's where if you can be casual 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:29.440 in your approach on the defensive end. He's casual. He's 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:33.040 the big casual because he'll just block a shot and 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:34.679 it won't be I'm going to send it to the 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:37.080 seventh row. It'll be just like, let me block that, 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:40.400 let me blunt that, and he'll tip a rebound to himself, 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:44.960 you know, no dramatic Dennis Rodman type rebounds, like it's 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:47.240 just a let me tip it here. He's a very 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:52.639 bright player and understands and he knows the process is 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:54.280 going to take a little bit of time. But he 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:57.840 also has, you know the luxury of having Greg Popovich, 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:01.040 who is you know, coached big men and coach them 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.480 when they were twenty three years or twenty four years 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.840 of age. Because David Robinson came in after four years 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.280 at the Naval Academy. Tim Duncan spent four years at 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:12.399 Wake Forest. Victor Wan Bayama is just coming in and 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:16.040 he's still learning the process here, and he had this 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:19.040 to say about how he enjoys the NBA. 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:23.399 First of all, the court is more open. It's going fast, 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:27.800 but it's it's less physical, and I get fellow in 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:31.960 love but not as much. Nothing to compare and people 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:35.200 hear people players are just flying. You know, out there 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:38.040 is more underground, pushing under ground, big bux house. Here, 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:41.720 it's great athletes, the best in the world, more way 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:44.200 more talent. But I like this better though. 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:49.000 He's fun to watch, but understand what you're watching because 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:51.280 if you're looking for a highlight, he doesn't even dunk. 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:55.000 And there's no three sixties. He's not Zion Williamson. He's 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:58.040 not going to break a backboard. There is an elegance 0:18:58.080 --> 0:18:59.560 about how we played it, and I don't need to 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:03.040 get two carried away here. But having watched this game 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:08.240 for over fifty years, you're watching him play and you 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:12.080 can almost see him having a Rolodex in his mind 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:15.200 where he's picking up things that he'll use down the road. 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:17.520 I don't know what he's going to be his first year, 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:21.480 except for he's going to block a boatload of shots. 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:26.080 I don't like these off balance jumpers that he takes. 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:28.560 He can hit a three, he's got a good handle. 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:32.480 And at the defensive end, he is going to be 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:35.640 a force. As far as offensively, that's where it takes 0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:38.760 a little while. I could understand that, but he's a 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:41.440 matchup nightmare. He's seven to four. At the end of 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:43.679 the day, he's still seven to four. You get tired. 0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:45.480 At the end of the game, he's still seven to four. 0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:48.960 He is going to block a lot of shots. And 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:52.399 Kareem came out and said, and Jerry West said this, 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:56.680 there's a Bill Russell type feel to him. And that's 0:19:56.720 --> 0:20:01.200 a wonderful compliment because especially at the defensive Bill Russell 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:04.760
