We'll 3 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,799 Speaker 1: check in with a all time great for the San 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: Antonio Spurs, Sean Elliott. He went to dinner with Victor 5 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: one Bayama. He had Tim Duncan there, Manu Jenobili coach 6 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: Pop was there, David Robinson was there. But Sean Elliott 7 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,600 Speaker 1: will join us coming up here in a little bit. 8 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: By the way, San Antonio Spurs put out a video 9 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: of Victor one Bayama in his Spurs uniform and looks 10 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 1: like he's shooting around for maybe some season ticket holders. 11 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: As PAULI said, are those boosters? And I go, I 12 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 1: don't think they have boosters in the NBA, but I'm 13 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: watching and here's the problem. I think he made three shots. 14 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 1: I think he missed seven. Two of the ones he 15 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: made were dunks, and he made like a fourteen foot jumper. 16 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: Why are you putting out that video? Unlest it was 17 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: live and a live Instagram. I got to edit it 18 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: a little bit. It felt like nobody put in the 19 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,759 Speaker 1: time to edit this, and I would have kept him 20 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 1: out there for a little while where you have him 21 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 1: a couple of step back jumpers, maybe a nice dunk, 22 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: maybe a three point shot, and even the jumper he hits, 23 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: they didn't video take that one. They missed that one. 24 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 1: I heard it swish, and I go, all right, I'll 25 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: give you credit for that. If you're the Spurs and 26 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: you're rolling out Victor Wanbayama, unless you're trying to lower 27 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: expectations where you're like, I don't know, it's gonna take 28 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: him a little bit of time to get ready if 29 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 1: you're not making jumpers with nobody on you right now. Okay, 30 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: I'm not nervous, but I was a little concerned about that. 31 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: His form look wonderful, love the follow through looks like 32 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: he's got great touch, but damn you gotta be a 33 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: little bit better than that. 34 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 2: Yeh see, looked like nerves right, sort of short armed everything. 35 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: Okay, if you're nervous in front of thirty season ticket 36 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: holders in June, what's gonna happen when you get into 37 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: real action like Christmas time. 38 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: Let's see, that's what he's used to. 39 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 3: He's probably used to playing more in those things, m 40 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 3: you know, like with a crowd and real basketball. 41 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: I like that he dunked. So he's seven to five 42 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: and he didn't have to jump very very high, and 43 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: then he dunks and then you hear. 44 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 2: This, oh wow do that? 45 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: Oh my god, did you see that? He dunked it? 46 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 4: Markin pretty high percentage shot. Look at him, Margaret. 47 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, we got a real one. We got a real one. 48 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 5: Man. 49 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: He can flat out get up Tom, Yes, yes, he can. Yes, Tod. 50 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 6: I found that very odd that they would clap for that. 51 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 6: You know, even like when you're playing NERF basketball in 52 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 6: your house, you're pretty much going to make that shot. 53 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: Right, Thank you, Tod. Good to have you back. Those 54 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: are the comments we missed on Friday. Okay, yeah, that's 55 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: what the audience missed on Friday, first time ever. NASCAR 56 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: is hitting the city streets of Chicago. Don't miss Alt 57 00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: the Action Sunday NBC and Pica. 58 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 4: Yes, Dan, this is classic Papovitch getting him into the fold. 59 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 4: He just bong a few jump. Lower expectations. 60 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:08,399 Speaker 1: He's a genius. 61 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 4: Look over here, don't look over here. That's classic Popovitch. 62 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 4: Lower expectation. Don't talk about us. We'll be here in 63 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 4: San Antonio working all summer. 64 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: These are these are like fifteen foot jumpers. I mean, 65 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: don't put it out there then or if you do, 66 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: just say, hey, Vic, we need you to stay on 67 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: the floor. Can you make like three in a row 68 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: or something? Yes, Yes, it. 69 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 3: Seems to be a problem with like teams, social media 70 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 3: people though, where maybe they're not uh sports fans, and 71 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 3: so they get how often do we see quarterbacks. 72 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 2: You know where this like terrible throws and then it's like. 73 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: Dude, what Tampa Bay with Kyle Trask and Baker Mayfield 74 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: Junior the third. 75 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 2: Throwing darts And no they're not that. 76 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: That wasn't good. That's not good at all. Yeah, so 77 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: social media with the Spurs'm gonna have to step up 78 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: a little bit here. We're gonna there's gonna be a 79 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: lot of moments for Victor one Byama. 80 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 5: Yes. 81 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 4: It's almost refreshing though, because usually we would see an 82 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 4: edited version of Winbyama and he'll be like nine for 83 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 4: nine from three, but he took forty threes to hit 84 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 4: the nine, and he'd be like, Vick is coming. They 85 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 4: would build it up with social media. 86 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: I think we should go out during the commercial break 87 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: and then we'll do social media. But I'll shoot some 88 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: jumpers and then you just piece them all together and 89 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: I won't miss any of them. 90 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, just make it look like yeah, twelve for twelve. 91 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, well I might be, but I mean I'm not 92 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: saying it's a shooting contest with me and Victor one Byama, 93 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: but if he wants a contest, I'd be more unhappy. 94 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: All RIGHTY eight seven seven three DP show it never 95 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 1: goes away, Mark, My competition never goes away. Unfortunately, it's sad. 96 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 1: I see, no, it is. It is really sad. Even 97 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: when I say it, it sounds so sad, like, dude, 98 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: you never amounted anything athletically, let it go, But I can't. 99 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: I can't let it go. Yeah, yeah, I. 100 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 7: Think me seeing in Fritz you were talking about this earlier. 101 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 7: Is there anything from I'm sure there is. I don't 102 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 7: even know why I'm asking you. 103 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: This. 104 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 7: Is there stuff from high school that still bothers you? 105 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 7: Where you can't sleep? 106 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, it's not that I can't sleep. But there's 107 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: a layup that I missed against Carlisle that I would 108 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: have had thirty. I ended up with twenty eight, and 109 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: I just remember, there's no reason why I missed the lab. 110 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: We won the game, but that didn't matter. I mean, 111 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: I wanted thirty on Carlisle. Sad, really sad. 112 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 7: But we were just talking about it, all three of 113 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 7: us were talking about something that happened in fourth grade, 114 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 7: fifth grade? Like, man, why am I thinking about something 115 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 7: that happened in nineteen ninety four? And it just keeps 116 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 7: you up. 117 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: I don't know it just there's certain things where you go. 118 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: What am I think? God, Mike, you know, certain things 119 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: you'd reflect back on. You can't change them, only makes 120 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: it worse. And I, for some reason I am thinking 121 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: about that layup. I can tell you where I am. 122 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: I can tell you everything about it. Missed it. No 123 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: reason happens to all of us, No, not the great ones. 124 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: Thirty against Carlisle, I know, I know, Yeah, I think 125 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: Carlisle had a guy named Randy Carlile that torchs him. 126 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 2: But God, you almost put up thirty on them. Yeah, 127 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 2: that it was only twenty eight. 128 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 5: I know. 129 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: It's so bad. No three point shot it back then, 130 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: eight minute quarters, keep going. I'm a point per minute guy. Sad, 131 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: really sad, never let it go. 132 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 4: But there's no difference between twenty eight and thirty. I 133 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 4: mean there is, But you had a great game. 134 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: No, no, you got to get thirty. If I would 135 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: have gotten twenty eight and didn't miss the layup, then 136 00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: that would have been a great gig. 137 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 4: Like if you're fine a lay up where the layup 138 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 4: you hit and you finished twenty eight, you'd be fine. 139 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 4: I wouldn't never thought about the game again. 140 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: No, No, I just got too big though. Damn. I 141 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: got addicted to points.

I went, congratulations, Dad, we 170 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: got blown out by Finny Town or Fenwick, Fenwick, they 171 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: blew us out. 172 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 7: Yes, Mark was your dad the guy when he showed up. 173 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 7: Everybody else was like, Dan's dad is here. 174 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 1: I don't know. 175 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 4: You cannot see your dad that way, Marvin. He would 176 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 4: Dan would not be able to see his own dad 177 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 4: that way. He thought him as a supportive guy. 178 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 7: I don't know what it's like to see a dad. 179 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 1: No, I don't know. Oh, wow, I can make that joke, 180 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: PAULI yeah, but Martin never had a dad. 181 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 4: Mine was there.

We're going to make that recovery for 201 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 6: the best and then the worst. 202 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: Till now, it's a big deal that the Braves beat 203 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: the Reds.

Red's 204 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: beat the Braves eleven to ten on Friday to run 205 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 1: their winning streak to twelve, but that streak was snapped 206 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 1: on Saturday. Okay, yeah, Roger, Ricky Feller. 207 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 6: My man still struggling on Sundays. I know he wasn't 208 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 6: in contention to win, per se, but a lot of 209 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 6: guys going low. He only dropped the one under hoping 210 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 6: he can get that together. But I will put that 211 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 6: out there for you though. Speaking of that series, it 212 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 6: was a big one between two hot teams in the 213 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 6: base baseball. He's looking to do some flex scheduling. We 214 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 6: got to get's a big weekend and no national coverage 215 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 6: for that series. 216 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: Well, thank you, Roger. I don't know if we need 217 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: flex scheduling in Major League Baseball. It's a long season. 218 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 5: Man. 219 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: I love this guy's name. I don't know why, but 220 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: I kind of fixated. The Rockies beat the Angels and 221 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: the starting pitcher for the Rockies was Austin Gomber, and 222 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: I for some reason, I'm like, all right, you go, Gomber. 223 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,079 Speaker 1: And I don't know why. I'm just kind of fixated 224 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: on his name. May Gomber take that Angels? 225 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 4: Austin Zachary Gomber the junior the third nine years old. 226 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: Brad in North Carolina. Hi Brad, what's on your mind today? Hi? 227 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 8: Dan? Thanks for dating my call. And I've been thinking 228 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 8: a lot about the NBA draft, and especially since they've 229 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 8: gotten to the NIL I was wondering if they should 230 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 8: go to almost more of a baseball model, where like 231 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 8: as soon as the kid graduates from high school, you 232 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 8: can you can draft them and then let them go 233 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:01,319 Speaker 8: to college, and that way these kids can develop and 234 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,439 Speaker 8: have their opportunity to really grow in a structured program 235 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 8: before they actually come to the NBA. 236 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: All right, what do we think of that? Can we 237 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: do it the way baseball does or hockey does, where 238 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: they I can draft you right out of high school, 239 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: but you only get one year though, and then you 240 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: go back into the hopper. I believe when you're drafted 241 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball, right, I don't know Hockey wise. 242 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: I think you're drafted and then they own your rights 243 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: and then you come up in the juniors. But I 244 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: think with baseball, I got you for one year. I 245 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: think was it. 246 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 4: Kumar Rockers, Yeah, Vanderbilt? 247 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: Yeah? Didn you go back into the hopper? 248 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 4: Yeah? 249 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: One year? He didn't get signed. Yeah, pulling. 250 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 4: I did have a thought the other day. I may 251 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 4: say this for a good idea, bad idea, m but 252 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 4: I give it to you a real question. Okay, NFL 253 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 4: running backs, there's been a lot of talk about how 254 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 4: their careers they never get the big money because they 255 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 4: get drafted, they're the first contract. First idea is you 256 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 4: make them have a three year contract out of college 257 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 4: instead of a four year contract or possibly five if 258 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 4: they're a first rounder. So that means they get to 259 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 4: their second contract a year faster than everybody else. And 260 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 4: what if because if you look at the market for 261 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 4: running backs, Leonard Fournett could have came out after a 262 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 4: software year at all shoe correct. 263 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: Probably so probably? 264 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 4: So Yes, what if running backs were allowed to leave 265 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 4: after their sophomore year at college? I know that's open 266 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 4: up a can of work, but are they the. 267 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: Only player who is ready? Like NFL ready? 268 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,199 Speaker 4: The market is really predisposed against the running back once 269 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 4: they get to the pro. 270 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 1: But I don't think teams want to pay more. So 271 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: you're right, you're looking at it from one angle with 272 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: the running back, which I understand, But if I'm a GM, 273 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, we like the fact that we're 274 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: going to give them five years or four years, and 275 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: then we're going to move on to get another running. 276 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,719 Speaker 4: It's great for the teams. But I wonder if the 277 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 4: NFLPA suggested to its rank and file that we'll make 278 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 4: rookie running back contracts three years instead of four like 279 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 4: everybody else, because they really are a different economic boat 280 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 4: than wide receivers and quarterbacks and every other position. Then 281 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 4: they would get to imagine Saquon Barkley, if he was 282 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 4: a year younger, how much more in demand he would be, 283 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 4: or any other running back, or any any running back 284 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 4: was a year younger, first second contract. It would help 285 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 4: him out. Yeah, the teams won't like. 286 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: It, But when did it happen? Do you remember where 287 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: you go? Running backs? 288 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 5: Are? 289 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: You know an afterthought. 290 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 4: Back at the in the nineties, when guys like Curtis 291 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 4: Martin stopped and guys like that and they started going 292 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 4: to platooning running backs, guys like John Carter got hurt, 293 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 4: they mamba, they took him real high. Curtis Enis got hurt, 294 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 4: and they spent a lot of money on guys like him. 295 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: Yeamc Jaffrey went high. Saquon Barkley went high Trent Richardson. 296 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 4: Two of the three didn't work out. Yeah, I think 297 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 4: people saw platoon running backs as a way to save money. 298 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: And but there had to be a moment where it 299 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: felt like the NFL collectively said, we're not drafting running 300 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: backs in the top ten anymore, or if we do 301 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: would be a very very very special occasion. 302 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 3: Yes, And there was probably one team that started it 303 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 3: where it was like, dang, they don't really have they 304 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 3: just have like three or four dudes that they're just 305 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 3: running through, you know what I mean. Or they used 306 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 3: four different running backs this season and didn't have that 307 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 3: one superstar back, you know, like the Patriots or somebody 308 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 3: probably it's probably somebody like that. 309 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, but it felt like they had three running backs 310 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: Patriots like Rex Burkhead was always in there, James White, 311 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: and I mean you run down the list of running 312 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: backs they had. 313 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 2: Didn't they picked up Legarrett Blunt? Yeah, nobody wanted them? 314 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know. Yeah. 315 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 4: And it's also developed as the passing game, if you 316 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 4: go back to Marino and those guys. So the heyday 317 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 4: of running backs was the eighties and nine. 318 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: But is it the rule changes that all of a 319 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: sudden NFL teams realized or the coaching philosophy. Because the 320 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: Titans stayed with Derek Henry, it felt like there were 321 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: a couple of outliers. And then I always wondered, would 322 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: we see the return of the running back where you 323 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: did run the ball twenty five times, where you took 324 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: advantage of defenses that were not they were built on speed, 325 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: not on power, And could you control the clock more? 326 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: Could you shut down some of these big time offenses. 327 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: I always wondered if you could be kind of counterintuitive 328 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: to who you were facing. 329 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, point, I think you look at a bunch of 330 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 4: other ways. Emma Smith, you know, wasn't a top draft choice, right, 331 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 4: and look at his career. They got him for nothing 332 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 4: out of college. You know, if you go to the nineties, 333 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 4: there were years where the number one running back in 334 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 4: ninety one taken was Leonard Russell. No other first rounders, right, 335 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 4: Tommy Vardell, guys like. 336 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: That touchdown Tommy, Yeah. 337 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 4: Garrison Hurst, Jerome Bettis, Robert Smith. I'll go in one 338 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 4: draft and then you know, a couple of years later 339 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 4: there's barely any taken. 340 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, but the Steelers needed Jerome bettist to win, like 341 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: they relied on that. Like there's certain franchises that still 342 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: ran the football, some just completely shy away from it. 343 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 4: Go to nineteen ninety four. Marshall Fawk was the second pick. 344 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 4: Worked out great. They running backs were taken all the 345 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 4: all over. I'll throw it. When Kajohna Carter went down 346 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 4: nineteen ninety five, they Bengals put their whole franchise on 347 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 4: ka Johnnack. Carter didn't work out at all. Lawrence Phillips 348 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 4: the next year didn't work out at all. Number one 349 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 4: draft pick at running back, number one overall, not him, 350 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 4: but he was top top six. 351 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, but he had issues. 352 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, well yeah, but those guys got invested in a lot. 353 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 4: Two years later, Curtis Enis to the Bears, fifth pick 354 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 4: for three out of four years in a row, complete 355 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 4: bust at the running back position, with the top of 356 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 4: all pick and changes a lot after that, Ricky Williams 357 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 4: traded an entire draft for him. Didn't work out for 358 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 4: the Saints. 359 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 7: Yes, I remember the Colts had that. Dominic Rhodes and 360 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 7: Joseph died. Yeah, Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas. I know 361 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 7: Bush was a high pick, but they just used him 362 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 7: as a part of like a tandem, and I feel 363 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 7: like they started doing that where it's like, all right, 364 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 7: let's get two like serviceable running bags. 365 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: It almost feels like that's something for one of these 366 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,239 Speaker 1: pregame shows to do a deep dive in to what 367 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,360 Speaker 1: used to be the artist that used to be known 368 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: as the running back.

So it was nice to see Big Dave 408 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 9: there and nice to break bread with Timmy. Timmy's like 409 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 9: Howard Hughes, you know, he's just like a recluse. You 410 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 9: see him every once in a while and you're like, 411 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 9: you know, hey, man, what's going on. 412 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 5: I mean, he's just he's always in hiding. Uh. And 413 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 5: and to have Manu there was really special. 414 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 9: And you know, the thing I loved about it most, Dan, 415 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 9: I'll be honest with you, is when he walked in. 416 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 9: Just to see the expression on his face when he 417 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 9: saw David and he saw Timmy and he saw Manu 418 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 9: was something else. He said, there was like a reverence there. 419 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 5: Oh. 420 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 1: Was he surprised? He didn't know that Duncan and David 421 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:22,199 Speaker 1: were going. 422 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 9: I think he knew, but it's just that you know, 423 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 9: you know, I'm an old curmudgeon, right, and it's nice 424 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 9: to see a young player that you know, appreciates the 425 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 9: history of the game and appreciates those guys that came 426 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 9: before him. 427 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 5: And you could tell that he really appreciated those guys. 428 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: Was there a game plan during dinner. 429 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,120 Speaker 5: No, No, not at all. 430 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 9: We just, uh, you know, Pop told me when he 431 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 9: called me, justa hey, just you know, welcome him and 432 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 9: you guys can ask him questions and he's gonna ask 433 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 9: you a lot of questions. 434 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 5: And that's basically what it was. And it was nice. 435 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 9: Because you know, everybody around the table got to go 436 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 9: around and talk about their NBA experience and you know 437 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 9: what you can expect, and you give him some tips 438 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 9: and some pointers about how to prepare himself, how to 439 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 9: get ready for the season, how to endure the gruel, 440 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 9: and so it was a lot of fun. But you know, 441 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 9: on his end too, he's a very very mature young man, Dan, 442 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 9: and he asked all the right questions. 443 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 5: I mean, I think we all came. 444 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 9: Away from that dinner just even more excited, more enthusiastic 445 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 9: than we'd ever been. 446 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: Give me a for instance, what was he asking? Because 447 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 1: I was more curious about he was. What he was 448 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: asking more than what you were telling him. 449 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 9: Just questions about how to prepare your body, how to 450 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 9: get rest, what the travel schedule is like, because you're 451 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 9: coming from playing fifty five to sixty games to play 452 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 9: in eighty two. I think he wants to play as 453 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 9: many games as he possibly can. But he's already somebody 454 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 9: who is very in tune with eating the right way, 455 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 9: getting his rest. You know, he asked us, all, if 456 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 9: you know, how can you get enough sleep on the road? 457 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 9: I mean, what kind of young person asked that question? 458 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 9: I mean most guys are like, hey, what's the best 459 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 9: club to go to Hilly or New York. He's asking 460 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 9: how he can get rest on back to backs and 461 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 9: so again, just you know, really mature and wise beyond 462 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 9: his years. 463 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: But I'm wondering if you said he could emulate David 464 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:26,880 Speaker 1: Robinson or Tim Duncan style, which path would you point 465 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: him or maybe somebody else. But just the fact that 466 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: those two legends were there, you. 467 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 9: Know, I think he's going to be who he is. 468 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 9: You know, I give a lot of credit to Dave 469 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 9: and Tim. I've said it over and over again that 470 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 9: the reason, you know, the real reason the San Antonio 471 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 9: Spurs have been successful for twenty plus years, twenty five years, 472 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 9: is because David Robinson and Tim Duncan didn't read the 473 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 9: Superstar handbook. They're not divas, they're not full of themselves. 474 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 9: They don't feel like they're bigger than the franchise. Very 475 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 9: coach guys, and he fits that mole perfectly. You can 476 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 9: ask for a better young man to now take over 477 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 9: the reins. But he also reminds me of what Steve 478 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,679 Speaker 9: Kerr said about Seth Curry. I mean about Steph Curry. 479 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 5: Excuse me. 480 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 9: He said that he's very comfortable in his own skin. 481 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 9: He's not trying to please a certain crowd. He doesn't 482 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 9: care about all the noise on social media. He's just 483 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 9: going to go on and be himself. And uh, you know, 484 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 9: he sets high expectations for himself and that's that's what 485 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 9: he looks to. He doesn't look for, you know, outside noise. 486 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: Talking to Sean Elliott, Spurs TV analyst and two time 487 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 1: NBA All Star, he may not have expectations, he may 488 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: not want to listen to those that noise. But we're 489 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: going to have expectations. You're going to have expectations. You're 490 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 1: going to go, Okay, what can we expect from him? 491 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: So what is what is fair to him to expect 492 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: this rookie season individually and team wise? 493 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 9: Well, I think you're asking me, and you're asking the 494 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 9: Spurs organization. You know, I've talked to Pop about it 495 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 9: a little bit, and it's just, you know, our expectations 496 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 9: are realistic. I think fans expectations are always unrealistic. 497 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,679 Speaker 5: The media's expectations are the other way out of whack. 498 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 9: He's nineteen years old. He's gonna have to have an 499 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 9: adjustment to the NBA. It's not gonna be easy. He 500 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 9: understands that, and so for me, I'm thinking, uh, you know, 501 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 9: we're going to be a much better team obviously because 502 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 9: of him. He's gonna make everybody else better. I don't 503 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 9: know how that's going to translate into wins, but right now, 504 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 9: if you if you ask Pop, you can tell you 505 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 9: the same thing. It's not about the wins and losses. 506 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 9: It's about developing and getting better and getting a foundation 507 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 9: for his NBA career. 508 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 5: So I'm looking at this team. I think we're gonna Yes, 509 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 5: I think we're gonna win more games. Obviously. 510 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 9: I think we're gonna win a lot more games. But 511 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 9: I can't talk about playoffs or anything like that because 512 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 9: you know, there's so many variables that go into the season. 513 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: But do you think that, and I've said that, it 514 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: feels like there's the transition will be easier defensively than 515 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: offensively for him, that he will be instantaneously impactful on 516 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: the defensive end. 517 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think there's any question there. 518 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 8: Dan. 519 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 9: You know, I've heard people talk about, you know, he 520 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 9: needs to bulk up and he gets stronger. 521 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 5: I think that. 522 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 9: I just don't buy into that. I really don't. This 523 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 9: isn't the eighties or nineties anymore. This isn't wrestling with 524 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 9: a basketball in the court is in their era, the 525 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 9: bad Boys. The NBA is not nearly as physical as 526 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 9: it was back then. So he's going to get and 527 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 9: by the way, playing in the European League, in the 528 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 9: French League is a lot more physical than playing in 529 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 9: the NBA. And he's been playing as a professional since 530 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 9: fifteen or sixteen years old against growman that are twenty 531 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 9: five to thirty years old, So it's not like guys 532 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 9: are going to beat him up. That doesn't happen anymore 533 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 9: in this league. 534 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 5: So I expect him to be. 535 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 9: Very effective on the offensive in the But you're right, 536 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 9: I'm more oppressed with what he does on the defensive end, 537 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 9: because if you're somebody penetrating, you get in the pain, 538 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 9: you're thinking about how in the world am I going 539 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 9: to get the shot up over this big guy. He's 540 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 9: going to block a lot of shots. He's going to 541 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 9: alter more shots than he blocks. And for an offensive 542 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 9: player going in there, he's going to be in the 543 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 9: back of your mind every single time you're into the 544 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 9: pain area. 545 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 5: And not only that, Dan. 546 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 9: He can move his feet for a guy who's seven 547 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 9: foot five so on screen and rolls, he's not a liability. 548 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 9: He's an asset. He can switch if he has to 549 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 9: on a point guard, and he can space guys. If 550 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 9: you've seen the tape, he can space guys, you know, 551 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 9: five to ten feet and still intimidate or block the shots. 552 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,439 Speaker 9: So I'm more oppressed. I mean, we can talk about 553 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 9: watching him defensively. I'm more oppressibly he does defensively than offensively. 554 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 9: I think you're spot on there Sean. 555 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: The Spurs put out a social media video where Victor 556 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: is shooting jumpers. They got to show him making the jumpers. 557 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: He made two dunks and like a twelve footer. Is 558 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: Popovich trying to tamp down the expectations? 559 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 5: Maybe, so I'm going, what are you doing? 560 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,239 Speaker 9: Maybe? Yeah, maybe, I don't know. I don't know, you know, 561 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 9: who takes any stock in that? I mean, it's fun 562 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 9: to laugh about it, for sure. Uh yeah, yeah, maybe 563 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,439 Speaker 9: they need to edit that that film a little bit. 564 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 9: But hey, I'm not you know, I'm not judging him 565 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 9: after you know, on three missshots. 566 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 5: I mean, there's no way. 567 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 1: And I'll finish this sentence. If David Robinson doesn't hurt 568 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: his back nineteen ninety six. 569 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 9: Uh, if David Robinson doesn't hurt his back, well, it 570 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 9: was his foot. First off, he broke his foot. I 571 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 9: thought he had he had backagees his whole career, but 572 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 9: he broke his foot that year and that's what kept 573 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 9: him out a majority of season. And I'll say, David 574 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 9: Robinson doesn't break his foot, No, Timmy Duncan, no dynasty. 575 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,719 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and Pop came on, didn't he? 576 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 5: Yeah? Pop took over for Bob Hill that year. I 577 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 5: think we were three and fifteen at the time. 578 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 9: Yeah, and so yeah, I mean, who knows what happens. 579 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 5: Who knows if Pop is here? Who knows? 580 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 9: But you know, I tell you what. Pop really did 581 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 9: a phenomenal job that year. Even though we didn't have 582 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 9: David and we went into the lottery. You could tell 583 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 9: that guys were playing hard for him. Knew exactly what 584 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 9: he was doing, and he was changing the mindset on 585 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 9: the defensive of the floor. So I think when I 586 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 9: sat back and I watched it, and when Dave watched it, 587 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 9: we knew that Pop was going to be the right 588 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 9: guy for the job. 589 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: For some reason, I thought it was his back. 590 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 5: But he did have back issues he did. 591 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 9: You can have your guys check on that, but I'm 592 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 9: sure that it was his He broke the outer bone 593 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 9: in his foot and that's what kept him out of that. 594 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: That might be one of the great injuries in the 595 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: history of sports, Jean. 596 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 5: Probably probably. 597 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 9: I mean, you get Timmy Duncan out of it, and 598 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 9: you turn it into a twenty year run of greatness, 599 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 9: and then you have these four or five years down years, 600 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 9: and you happen to get Victor in Binyama. But you 601 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 9: know the fact that we get Timmy and the way 602 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 9: he was as a human being, as a teammate, uh, 603 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 9: you know, kind of it's still reverberates. And you have 604 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 9: a guy like Victor, Like I said, he walks into 605 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 9: the dinner and he sees Tim duncan. You could just 606 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 9: see his expression and how he held these guys in 607 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 9: such high esteem. 608 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: I went there, Tim's rookie year to one of your practices, 609 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: and you guys made Tim carry all the basketball like 610 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 1: you guys. Am not hazed, but I remember that you 611 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: you put him in his place when he came in, 612 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: and here he is, you know, the franchise savior. 613 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 5: Pretty crazy, isn't it. 614 00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 9: I mean, you know, we weren't the type to you know, 615 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 9: really give it, you know, big time to guys. I mean, 616 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 9: when I was a rookie, I had to carry bags. 617 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,959 Speaker 9: I had to help unload bags off the carousel every 618 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 9: once in a while, but that was about it. Now 619 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 9: guys to you know, bring donus to the facility. But 620 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 9: I can't imagine these guys hazing Victor. 621 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: No, no, no, I think they'll they'll. 622 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,719 Speaker 5: Give them a little bit of crap. They'll give them 623 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 5: a little bit of hope. 624 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 9: They do a few medial tasks, you know, but it 625 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 9: won't get too bad. 626 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: Everybody keeps calling in there. They're trying to give Victor 627 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: a nickname.

You know, there's a side 647 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 9: screen Michael and this other guy, and you know, people 648 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 9: just forget that there are two sides of the floor. 649 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 9: They don't take into account competitiveness. You know, you can 650 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 9: compare Michael's stats, but you can't compare the drive, the 651 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 9: determination to win. 652 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 5: Uh. 653 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 9: It's almost insulting when a guy you know comes out 654 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 9: and has a thirty point or thirty five point month 655 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,479 Speaker 9: and you compare them Michael Jordan. That man was an 656 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 9: absolute beast on the defensive end of the floor. He 657 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 9: was the greatest defensive player that I have ever seen. 658 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 9: And when people start comparing people just because of numbers, 659 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 9: I think it's I think it's a travesy and I 660 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 9: think it's people don't know basketball. So I will say 661 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 9: it was our second or third year we went to Chicago. 662 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 9: We're beating the pants off of him. 663 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 5: I think grew up. 664 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 9: Twenty five the middle of the third on a T 665 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 9: and T game. And all Phil did in that second 666 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 9: half of the fourth quarter is ran like a four 667 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 9: corners And I was guarding Michael and he was throwing 668 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 9: up you know, you see that shot that he threw 669 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 9: up in the gate Ade commercial. 670 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 5: I say that was child's play. The stuff that he 671 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 5: was doing in that fourth quarter. 672 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 9: I had to guard him, and basically they would get 673 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 9: the ball off the glass, give it to Michael, spread 674 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 9: the floor and he's coming right at me one on one. 675 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 9: And it was a guessing game. That's all it is. 676 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 9: Is he going left right, So half the time I 677 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 9: was guessing incorrectly. I was guessing wrong, and he was 678 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 9: getting in there. The tongue was coming out. He's flipping 679 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,240 Speaker 9: balls off the glass left and right, and the crowd's 680 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 9: going crazy. He stole the pass, dunked on David Robinson. 681 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 9: We ended up winning that game by one or two points. Boy, 682 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 9: And it was one of the greatest performances that I've 683 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 9: been a part of. And it was just fun.
