Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Final Hour on this Monday, Best and Worst of the weekend.
Speaker 2: What you saw that you liked you didn't like? Got
Speaker 2: us up eh seven seven to three DP. Show operator
Speaker 2: Tyler sitting by, take your phone calls there. Stat of
Speaker 2: the Day brought to you by Panini America, the official
Speaker 2: trading cards of the program NBC. This week, Sunday Night Baseball,
Speaker 2: it'll be the Rangers going to Boston to take on
Speaker 2: the Red Sox Sunday Night Baseball in NBC and Peacock.
Speaker 2: Peacock is where you'll find this program. Download the app
Speaker 2: if you haven't done so to be able to watch
Speaker 2: the program. Reggie Miller will stop by. We got Game
Speaker 2: three coming up tonight. Spurs are only a two and
Speaker 2: a half point underdog, which feels a little surprising to me, Dylan,
Speaker 2: does it seem surprising to you?
Speaker 3: Being a gambling expert experts a loose term, Dan bed
Speaker 3: it does see a lose a lose or loose term.
Speaker 3: It's a loser term.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I would have maybe guessed it would be
Speaker 4: Spurs minus two and a half because I don't think
Speaker 4: you think they're gonna go down three ZEPN.
Speaker 3: You know two and a half point. That's kind of
Speaker 3: interesting there.
Speaker 2: All right, poll question for the final hour, we'll talk
Speaker 2: to Ray Ferraro. The mother Ship's part of the broadcast
Speaker 2: team tomorrow night, My Vegas Golden Knights and the Hurricanes.
Speaker 4: We were talking about it last hour, Dan, But if
Speaker 4: you're an NBA player, are you taking a good career
Speaker 4: and a ring or a Hall of Fame career?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 6: Ring?
Speaker 7: Hmm?
Speaker 3: Okay, I want consistency.
Speaker 2: I want to be great for my entire career instead
Speaker 2: of just a one off winning a title. That sounds selfish,
Speaker 2: doesn't it.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 3: I mean I wasn't going to say anything, but you know,
Speaker 3: team sport. Okay, all right.
Speaker 2: Ray Ferraro, ESPN NHL analysts played eighteen years in the league.
Speaker 2: You can catch him tomorrow night eight Eastern Stanley Cup
Speaker 2: Game four, Hurricanes and Golden Knights on ABC. Let me
Speaker 2: start there, Ray, you could be a Hall of Famer
Speaker 2: or you can win one Stanley Cup.
Speaker 6: Hmm? Can I trade three of my years? I'm not
Speaker 6: able to do. That's gotta be an easy one.
Speaker 2: Twelve years, you're an All Star, you're a Hall of
Speaker 2: Famer or you're just a good player on a great team.
Speaker 3: One year.
Speaker 6: I picked the Hall of Fame career, I think, and
Speaker 6: I never won. I got to the Eastern Conference final once,
Speaker 6: and every year did I get to do this final?
Speaker 6: Which is just so awesome. I look at these guys
Speaker 6: and complete envy the guys that win. It doesn't it
Speaker 6: look like the best? Like just to you, you know,
Speaker 6: you've smashed your your body for ten months and and
Speaker 6: you're the best. I don't know, but to being I
Speaker 6: think I was a good player. I am the example
Speaker 6: actually of the other one. Like I played eighteen years.
Speaker 6: I was good and never got to be in the
Speaker 6: right place at the right time. And I think winning
Speaker 6: is sometimes you could be almost an accidental tourist, right,
Speaker 6: You're just in the right spot at the right time.
Speaker 2: If I didn't watch Saturday night's game, how would you
Speaker 2: sum it up?
Speaker 6: Lunacy like I've been so I was thinking about this.
Speaker 6: So I broke into the NHL nineteen eighty four and
Speaker 6: I played eighteen years. I've been doing this since I
Speaker 6: retired in two so this is twenty three, twenty four years.
Speaker 6: I've never seen a Stanley Cup game like this, And
Speaker 6: sometimes we get into that recency stuff. The only one
Speaker 6: I can come close to is the Chicago Philly game
Speaker 6: that was six or five and the goalies were so bad.
Speaker 6: There were goals going in all over the place. It
Speaker 6: just was a wild game. This was this had no
Speaker 6: there was no form or shape to any of it.
Speaker 6: It was awesome, Like sports are best unpredictable, and what
Speaker 6: it's for nothing. I actually said in the middle of
Speaker 6: the third period, really quite proud of this comment because
Speaker 6: it turned out so well. I said, Carolina can't Carolina
Speaker 6: can't wait for this game to be over. They're looking
Speaker 6: forward to Game four, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 6: they've scored four goals. And I was like, because I
Speaker 6: just didn't see it, Like I couldn't, there's no way
Speaker 6: this could happen, and it did.
Speaker 2: Why is it that we single out a goalie if
Speaker 2: he's having an unbelievable series, Like, we don't talk necessarily
Speaker 2: about a player the way we do a goalie.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: I know the goalie is the last line of defense,
Speaker 2: but like, there have to be offensive or defensive players
Speaker 2: who get better in those bigger moments, but we tend
Speaker 2: to focus on the goalie is standing on his head why.
Speaker 6: Is that, because well, he has such an outsized importance
Speaker 6: to to his team. It's like the you know, it's
Speaker 6: a starting pitcher, well maybe not so much anymore, but
Speaker 6: a starting pitcher that dominates the series. Or you know,
Speaker 6: if if web Byama all of a sudden takes over
Speaker 6: a game, it's him. Like there's there's probably a bunch
Speaker 6: of reasons why a team plays well or plays polly,
Speaker 6: but the first thing always becomes the focus of the goalie. Now,
Speaker 6: I thought Rod Brindamore, Carolina's coach, he pulled Freddie Anderson
Speaker 6: because he was looking to Game four. He was Game
Speaker 6: three was gone. It was there's no reason to leave
Speaker 6: him back out there except the goalie put in. Brandon
Speaker 6: Bussy had a great third period, they get the overtime somehow,
Speaker 6: and now he's got a real decision. But the guy
Speaker 6: at the other end, Carter Hurt, he's really been no
Speaker 6: better in the series. Like there's been way more goals
Speaker 6: than I would have suspected. And I don't know if
Speaker 6: the goalies have been bad or average or you know,
Speaker 6: as for a shot here or there, Carolina is up
Speaker 6: to one. I didn't like one goal in that fourth
Speaker 6: game or a third game, I still flip flop. I
Speaker 6: got another day to figure it out. And I wonder
Speaker 6: what Carolina is thinking, Like would they go to Bussy
Speaker 6: in Game four? Or are they going to go back
Speaker 6: to Anderson? I bet it's a torture's choice. Really.
Speaker 2: Talking to Ray Ferraro, he spent eighteen years in the NHL,
Speaker 2: he would gladly take a Hall of Fame career over
Speaker 2: winning a Stanley Cup. Eight Eastern Tomorrow Night Hurricanes and
Speaker 2: the Golden Knights exclusively on ABC. Has the NHL ever
Speaker 2: toyed with a three point line like we have in
Speaker 2: the NBA.
Speaker 6: No, it's just I don't even know as I'm picturing it.
Speaker 6: I don't see why they would change it the I
Speaker 6: don't know how they would make it work. Could you imagine,
Speaker 6: like in a sport that moves this fast, that is
Speaker 6: the pokun outside the line? Is it on the line?
Speaker 6: Is it like even with all the great cameras they
Speaker 6: have now, I am there's no reason, I don't think.
Speaker 6: And here's the other thing, Dan, the games have been
Speaker 6: five to four, four three five four. I mean, we're
Speaker 6: getting plenty offense. In the nineties. I wish they would
Speaker 6: have done something else because it was it was boring.
Speaker 6: This is this is great stuff.
Speaker 3: Well, you can blame the Devils for that.
Speaker 6: They smothered the game. They were there were no fun
Speaker 6: to play against. Our captain in New York was Pat Flatley,
Speaker 6: really funny guy, and he were playing the Devils one
Speaker 6: night and they've get We've got like ten shots and
Speaker 6: he goes, look at them. None of them are sweating,
Speaker 6: they're not even trying, and they just had us. We
Speaker 6: were smothered. We couldn't do anything like this. Stinks, man,
Speaker 6: it's brutal.
Speaker 2: Well, that's what I wondered that all of the leagues
Speaker 2: were trying to get more scoring. They want more scoring
Speaker 2: and I didn't. And you're right about the goals being scored.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's style now or what they
Speaker 2: will allow you to do or not do that maybe
Speaker 2: is bringing about Maybe it's bad goals in here.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 6: It's skilled, without question, you know what I'm when they
Speaker 6: changed the rules about fifteen years ago to really promote skill,
Speaker 6: I guess, and make it harder to defend. The players
Speaker 6: have gotten progressively faster and stronger and more skilled than
Speaker 6: they've ever been. I didn't think like I thought the
Speaker 6: speed was going to create more offense always, but really
Speaker 6: it also helps defense. Like speed is speed is a
Speaker 6: killer for offense, right, you just don't have time to
Speaker 6: do anything. But the guys today that they play at
Speaker 6: a level that I think it's probably the same in
Speaker 6: most sports, but like it's not been achieved before. And
Speaker 6: I look at what some of these guys can do.
Speaker 6: We just we just couldn't do it. And I think
Speaker 6: the offense follows with it. There's more goals now than
Speaker 6: there's ever been.
Speaker 2: Could you see, I don't know who's the biggest goalie
Speaker 2: you ever faced, But if I put Penny Sewell, who's
Speaker 2: an offensive lineman for the Lions, but with skill, Yeah,
Speaker 2: but you put somebody who is huge, they're wide, how tough?
Speaker 2: I mean, can you see a scenario where and I
Speaker 2: don't know if somebody's tried to get a bigger goalie
Speaker 2: like Aaron Donald, if I put him in goal.
Speaker 6: You'd think you'd be all right, right, he's got to
Speaker 6: stand there, But it doesn't quite work that way. There
Speaker 6: seems to be holes everywhere. So when I played, I
Speaker 6: bet you the average guy was like at the start
Speaker 6: of my career.
Speaker 3: He was not six feet well like Darren, Pang is five.
Speaker 6: He will tell you too. Somehow he won twenty seven
Speaker 6: games and that's his number. I know because he's told
Speaker 6: me four thousand times.
Speaker 3: His head they're each the crossbar.
Speaker 6: Seems to pictures right. Yeah, So Panger at one time
Speaker 6: he wore he switched his goalie equipment with a guy
Speaker 6: that used to play for Tampa, Ben Bishop, who was
Speaker 6: six foot seven. Yeah, and Bishop put on Panger's gear.
Speaker 6: It looked like it, you know, it looked like children's stuff.
Speaker 6: And Peyer of course, looked hilarious and the other stuff.
Speaker 6: The goalies now are. There's six' five sixty. Six they're
Speaker 6: two hundred and thirty five pounds Like Freddie anderson's two
Speaker 6: hundred and forty pounds like these guys. Are it might
Speaker 6: not look like, it but they're. Huge And i'll tell
Speaker 6: you when you skate down the ice and you look
Speaker 6: up at the, net there's there's no. Room there's nowhere
Speaker 6: to go except the park's pretty, small and it bounces
Speaker 6: around pretty. Good, fortunately they can't stop.
Speaker 2: Everything what's the greatest, performance like the greatest player that
Speaker 2: you're on the ice with for one game that you witnessed.
Speaker 3: Something oh in one.
Speaker 6: GAME i always Think Alex kobled was the most talented
Speaker 6: PLAYER i ever played with with The. Rangers Brian leach
Speaker 6: played a game and made that WHEN i was with
Speaker 6: the short time with The, rangers he made a couple
Speaker 6: of plays that in this. Game one of THEM i
Speaker 6: know BECAUSE i was on the other end of it
Speaker 6: AND i just shot it in the empty. NED i
Speaker 6: could not believe that he was able to do like
Speaker 6: physically be able to do in a in an individual game.
Speaker 6: Though the best Was Mario lemux was just just. Remarkable
Speaker 6: he scored against us one, time four times in a,
Speaker 6: game and it was, like you, know it was like
Speaker 6: we were his. Problem we were The Washington generals that.
Speaker 6: Night like it was.
Speaker 2: AMAZING i find him, underrated and it's hard to say that,
Speaker 2: THOUGH i JUST i, know you, know he got, Sick but,
Speaker 2: man you could make a case HE'S i Love gratz
Speaker 2: And messer and you, know run down the, List But
Speaker 2: Mario LEMIEUX i think could have turned out to be
Speaker 2: the greatest player of all.
Speaker 6: TIME i think if people built them amount rushmore and
Speaker 6: you could even spread spread it out three or four,
Speaker 6: players if you, wanted BUT i think they would get
Speaker 6: To lemieux later in the list than they. Should, yeah
Speaker 6: he was singularly the most talented player ever to, play
Speaker 6: and part of it was that he was six foot,
Speaker 6: five AND i mean What gretz did with like his
Speaker 6: numbers are, incomparable and we'd marvel at everything that he.
Speaker 6: Did but, Him bobby Or Mario, LEMIEUX i, mean they
Speaker 6: were they changed the, Game they changed it, forever and
Speaker 6: then you get into the new guys and you, know
Speaker 6: you start to get into McDavid in. That but, Man
Speaker 6: mario was.
Speaker 3: Amazing how's this play out for My Vegas Golden?
Speaker 6: KNIGHTS i Picked carolina in. Seven before the, SERIES i
Speaker 6: thought it WAS i was, worried actually that it was
Speaker 6: going to be a bunch of low, scoring boring three
Speaker 6: two two one, games and clearly that's not been the.
Speaker 6: Case goal has all of a sudden as we get
Speaker 6: back to it become a real question For. Carolina but
Speaker 6: if there, Is i'm still gonna Take carolina in, seven
Speaker 6: even THOUGH i don't feel very confident about. It if
Speaker 6: there's ever been a series that's been a coin, flip
Speaker 6: this is, seriously this is. IT i, mean there is
Speaker 6: there is zero way to predict what's going to happen tomorrow.
Speaker 6: Night some. Series now by game, three don't you think
Speaker 6: you kind of got a, Feel you're, like, yeah it's
Speaker 6: going to be, close but this team's. BETTER i don't
Speaker 6: have that right. Now it's been it's been really, great
Speaker 6: really great fun to.
Speaker 3: Do do players eat during?
Speaker 6: Overtime, yeah they, got they. Got, well now it's. Easy
Speaker 6: they got bananas and protein bars all stocked up in,
Speaker 6: there and they're. Good back in the day that there
Speaker 6: was A Pittsburgh philly, GAME i went to five. Overtimes
Speaker 6: they had the fun find a pizza, place you make
Speaker 6: pizza and deliver it over to The pittsburgh locker room
Speaker 6: because it was In. Pittsburgh so they got the. FOOD
Speaker 6: i don't know What philly was, eating like there's nothing
Speaker 6: around at that.
Speaker 2: Time we got the winners of The Spamani brothers or,
Speaker 2: Whatever pimante.

Speaker 2: Well the stage is certainly set For wemby to steal
Speaker 2: a game and all of a sudden have one of
Speaker 2: those moments that we've seen. Before at The, Garden Michael
Speaker 2: jordan came back at his double nickel step drop fifty
Speaker 2: four in the, Garden kobe dropped sixty, One Bernard king
Speaker 2: had sixty on A Christmas day game against The. Nets
Speaker 2: but the spotlight will never be bigger and brighter For
Speaker 2: wemby if you're gonna step up and be a. Hero RED.
Speaker 2: G Miller hall Of, FAMER nba ON nba see lead. Analysts,
Speaker 2: okay let me get a couple of questions out of the.
Speaker 2: Way this came up about winning a championship or being
Speaker 2: A hall Of.
Speaker 3: Famer so you're A hall Of. Famer you didn't win a.
Speaker 2: Championship but IF i, said you could trade places With Rip, hamilton.
Speaker 3: Or you could keep your. Career so you win a,
Speaker 3: title but you're not A hall Of. Famer i'll keep my. Career,
Speaker 3: OKAY i love my.
Speaker 7: Career.
Speaker 3: Now there was another one that somebody brought.
Speaker 2: Up if you could change the, Outcome let's see was
Speaker 2: that Nineteen what was the Year?
Speaker 10: Marvin game seven ninety eight conference finals Or game four
Speaker 10: two thousand? Finals which game would you rather have?
Speaker 2: One you can change the outcome of either, one so
Speaker 2: you go or you don't have to change, anything but
Speaker 2: you'll go to two with The, lakers or you Beat
Speaker 2: jordan and you go to THE Nba.
Speaker 8: Finals, wow both are very, intriguing very difficult.
Speaker 5: Questions, look winning A game seven In chicago, versus in my,
Speaker 5: opinion the greatest player of all, TIME i probably would
Speaker 5: take that. Again you AND i have had this Discussion
Speaker 5: Mark jackson AND i that that was our. Thinking we
Speaker 5: wanted to Retire, jordan SO i would probably take that.
Speaker 5: One Winning game four Versus shaq And kobe to even
Speaker 5: the series.
Speaker 8: Too.
Speaker 5: Too that doesn't guarantee that we were gonna win that.
Speaker 5: Series all admit was that the series was two to.
Speaker 5: Two we thought we had that game When shaq fouled
Speaker 5: out because he was just too dominating in that. Series
Speaker 5: so when he fouled out in that game and it
Speaker 5: went to, overtime we thought we had that until this
Speaker 5: young kid showed his greatness In Kobe bryant and they
Speaker 5: went up three to. One we Won game five three
Speaker 5: to two and they closed us out and. Six so
Speaker 5: that wouldn't have guaranteed us winning that. Series but to
Speaker 5: win In chicago in A game seven Versus Michael, jordan.
Speaker 8: That would have been. Great but here are here we.
Speaker 2: Are and that leads us to tonight's game AND i
Speaker 2: wondered when we started the, SHOW i, said it feels
Speaker 2: like there's more pressure on The knicks than The spurs
Speaker 2: because The, spurs, note we lost those two and yes
Speaker 2: we're probably not winning this. Series our odds are heavily AGAINST.
Speaker 2: U but The knicks go back, home crazy. Environment, yeah
Speaker 2: and you can't afford to give San antonio a glimmer of.
Speaker 2: Hope and that's why WHEN i saw San antonio is
Speaker 2: only a two and a half point underdog, here you
Speaker 2: would think after losing those, two maybe being down on the,
Speaker 2: dumps now you're going into The. Garden they can't wait
Speaker 2: to crown The knicks as a champion. Here who has more?
Speaker 5: PRESSURE i said this on one of our telecasts about The.
Speaker 5: KNICKS i always fear The knicks most when they were
Speaker 5: on the, road and they kind of show that in
Speaker 5: the first two.
Speaker 8: Games their fan base travels.
Speaker 5: Well but for whatever, reason as a, team when we
Speaker 5: were going Against patrick And john And oak and all
Speaker 5: those Those knicks teams on the, road they played totally
Speaker 5: different when they were away from The. GARDEN i don't
Speaker 5: know what it, was but they were so locked in and,
Speaker 5: great and we saw that.
Speaker 8: In games one and two In San.
Speaker 5: ANTONIO i think when they go, home you get a
Speaker 5: chance all the things you just, Highlighted you relax a little.
Speaker 5: Bit your family's, there the crowd's going to be. Pumping
Speaker 5: you've won the first. Two you almost kind of, exhale
Speaker 5: which you hope that's not the. Case you're in the
Speaker 5: finals now and you have your two wins away from a.
Speaker 5: Championship this is the time to put your foot on
Speaker 5: the gas even.
Speaker 8: More but for whatever, reason.
Speaker 5: The knicks at times seem to settle and let teams hang.
Speaker 5: Around right, now if you're The, spurs you have absolutely
Speaker 5: nothing to.
Speaker 8: Lose you are playing with house.
Speaker 5: Money The, obviously no team has ever come back losing
Speaker 5: their first two games at home and winning a. Championship
Speaker 5: so history's now on your, side so you might as well.
Speaker 8: Just go out and.
Speaker 5: Play i've been a little surprised in this series because
Speaker 5: the same team that we covered in The Western conference
Speaker 5: that is not the Same spurs team That i'm seeing
Speaker 5: in the. Finals it's it was almost like their main
Speaker 5: mission was just to beat The thunder and they forgot
Speaker 5: there was one more series. Left they're not playing the same,
Speaker 5: way and it's you, know if you're A spurs. Fan
Speaker 5: it's it's been a little bit of head scratching watching
Speaker 5: these first two.
Speaker 3: Games were you okay with that final shot By?
Speaker 5: Wemby, YEAH i mean your best player takes that. SHOT
Speaker 5: i mean it was a clean. Look, PERSONALLY i probably
Speaker 5: would have loved to See Dearon fox be a little
Speaker 5: bit more aggressive in. That, remember he was a Former
Speaker 5: Clutch player of The, year something we've Seen Jalen brunson
Speaker 5: be in these first two. Games think about, This Jalen
Speaker 5: brunson has not played great at all in this.
Speaker 8: SERIES i think he's like seventeen for fifty.
Speaker 5: Six he's like four four twenty from, three and yet
Speaker 5: The knicks are up to. Nothing he's been great in the,
Speaker 5: clutch especially In game, one but overall he has not
Speaker 5: had the type of shooting game that he's capable, of
Speaker 5: and The knicks are still up to. Nothing that's why
Speaker 5: it's a little, scary because you know those shots are
Speaker 5: going to fall when he's back. Home and the way
Speaker 5: that mckal, bridges the way That landry shammitt o g
Speaker 5: the way they are shooting the, Basketball duce McBride off the,
Speaker 5: bench this is A this is a full compliment Of knicks.
Speaker 8: Teams this is the BEST i Think i've ever seen them.
Speaker 2: PLAY i want to look at the bigger picture, here
Speaker 2: because this shouldn't be viewed as a one off with The.
Speaker 2: Knicks they went to these conference. Finals they probably should
Speaker 2: have made it to the finals last. Year but if
Speaker 2: they Sweep San antonio and you end up winning fifteen
Speaker 2: consecutive playoff, games you would Match Golden State warriors now
Speaker 2: all of a. Sudden you, know at least for one
Speaker 2: YEAR i. HAVE i know it wasn't a dominating regular,
Speaker 2: season but, postseason, yeah like they're going to be in
Speaker 2: the conversation of one of the greatest and the point
Speaker 2: differential To reggie throughout the. POSTSEASON i don't know if
Speaker 2: we look at The knicks that, way BUT i think we,
Speaker 2: should at least statistically.
Speaker 3: Historically you've got.
Speaker 5: To put them in that, conversation and you've got to
Speaker 5: have these hard.
Speaker 8: Conversations AND i.
Speaker 5: Know people will Not they'll, say, well who did they?
Speaker 5: Play they Played, atlanta no, experience they were down to
Speaker 5: one in that, series, yep and after That game three
Speaker 5: they've run off thirteen. Straight they're gonna, say, well they
Speaker 5: Play philadelphia in the second round And Joel.
Speaker 8: Embiid but you play who's in front of.
Speaker 5: You that's the Same philadelphia team that won A game
Speaker 5: seven In.
Speaker 8: Boston they played The calves in The conference. Finals that's the.
Speaker 5: Same calves that won by thirty In detroit in A game.
Speaker 5: SEVEN i don't want to hear.
Speaker 11: It.
Speaker 5: People you've got to have these hard conversations about The.
Speaker 5: Knicks if they find a way to win two more
Speaker 5: games in a row and win fifteen in a row
Speaker 5: on their way to AN nba. Championship we're not you
Speaker 5: AND i we're not up here saying they're the greatest Nop, okay.
Speaker 8: No we're not saying.
Speaker 5: That but you've got to have a hard conversation on
Speaker 5: how this, run starting With game four In atlanta all
Speaker 5: the way until.
Speaker 8: Now it's it's impressive what The knicks have.
Speaker 2: Done nobody brings up The lakers In magic were banged
Speaker 2: up When Michael jordan won his FIRST nba.
Speaker 3: TITLE a.
Speaker 8: Championship is that you play who's in front of.
Speaker 5: You everyone's banged up at this point in, time, RIGHT
Speaker 5: i don't want to hear. PEOPLE i, Mean boston could
Speaker 5: have had something to say about. This they lost that
Speaker 5: Game game seven at, Home detroit could have had something
Speaker 5: to say about. This you lost by thirty plus game
Speaker 5: seven at. Home all, right you play who's in front of.
Speaker 5: You that's all The knicks are doing right.
Speaker 2: Now talking To Reggie, Miller hall Of FAMER nba ON
Speaker 2: Nbc Lead, ANALYST i Think Karl Anthony towns would be
Speaker 2: MY mvp right now because it seems to be doing
Speaker 2: it at both. Ends AND i wondered this in the
Speaker 2: first Hour ridge That Mike brown was On Golden state's coaching,
Speaker 2: staff AND i wonder if he saw How Steve kerry
Speaker 2: Used Draymond green and if he's Using Karl Anthony towns
Speaker 2: now as sort of a, larger better shooting Than Draymond
Speaker 2: green where the offense is going through, him probably more
Speaker 2: than it ever, has.
Speaker 5: AND i Think kat has embraced that. Role that's a great.
Speaker 5: Comparison Though kat's not the defender That draymond, is But
Speaker 5: draymond's not the shooter and score That kat. IS i
Speaker 5: think in terms of, passing very, similar and though The
Speaker 5: knicks don't have that one weapon Like Golden state obviously
Speaker 5: In Stephen curry and Or Klay thompson during those championship runs,
Speaker 5: again the way that mckel. Bridges think about. This people
Speaker 5: were talking about benching him in That atlanta series after
Speaker 5: the first two or three, games like what was wrong
Speaker 5: with mckel, Bridges and now he's having a historical run
Speaker 5: year over the last two, rounds the conference finals and
Speaker 5: now And Karl Anthony towns the way they put the
Speaker 5: ball in his hands and he has been able to
Speaker 5: facilitate and to your, point at the other end, defensively,
Speaker 5: again we thought That wimby was going to be able
Speaker 5: to walk on water after what he did in That conference.
Speaker 5: Finals he looks shell shocked a little, bit and it's
Speaker 5: because of the physicality of the game being brought to
Speaker 5: him By. Cat so right now he probably is maybe
Speaker 5: the odds on favor to win that FINALS. Mvp BUT
Speaker 5: i will say, this they don't win game one without
Speaker 5: the brilliance Of Jalen. Brunson and again in game, two
Speaker 5: that big shot again came From Jalen. Brunson he's he
Speaker 5: is the one player that's. Skit he's the ultimate. Closer
Speaker 5: anytime the game is, CLOSED i don't care who you're,
Speaker 5: PLAYING i will always trust In. Brunson too good a,
Speaker 5: footwork his mechanics are, great.
Speaker 8: His foundation is.
Speaker 5: Fantastic that dude just scares me if a game is
Speaker 5: close and the ball was in his.
Speaker 3: Hands so remind you of anybody you played.
Speaker 8: Against i'm not comparing.
Speaker 5: Them i'm not saying they're the, Same so people please
Speaker 5: don't come at. Me but WHEN mj and When, kobe
Speaker 5: when both of those guys had the ball in the closing,
Speaker 5: moments you just knew, something, specter what's gonna. Happen you
Speaker 5: knew they were gonna get a clean. Look, now rather
Speaker 5: they made it or missed, it that was on. THEM
Speaker 5: i look At brunson that same. Way he can get
Speaker 5: any shot he wants in the closing. Moment, now if
Speaker 5: he makes it or miss that's on. Him but there's
Speaker 5: not a lot of defense you're gonna be able to
Speaker 5: do one on one to stop. That all three of
Speaker 5: those guys have something very. Similar their footwork is. Impeccable
Speaker 5: they play off of two feet every single tame. Time,
Speaker 5: Now kobe And mike they played in the air a.
Speaker 5: Lot Whereas, brunson being a smaller, guard everything has to
Speaker 5: his footwork has to be and his timing has to
Speaker 5: be on. Point so, again don't.
Speaker 8: Cut i'm not putting them in that in that, category
Speaker 8: don't come out to.
Speaker 5: Me but in terms of making big, SHOTS i put
Speaker 5: him up there With kobe AND.
Speaker 3: Mj explain this to the. AUDIENCE i tried.
Speaker 2: To but even when you're supposed to take, shots even
Speaker 2: if you're not making, shots Like, iverson had to keep.
Speaker 2: Shooting explain that to the audience of even when you're,
Speaker 2: missing it's important to the, offense to your teammates to keep.
Speaker 2: Shooting if you're that main, guy it's.
Speaker 8: The evolution of.
Speaker 5: Life you've got to keep things moving even though you're
Speaker 5: having an off night. Offensively the rest of those four
Speaker 5: guys they look to you for guidance and. Strength so
Speaker 5: when your best player becomes timid or shy or turns down,
Speaker 5: shots the other four guys and the rest of the
Speaker 5: team they bow their heads because their best player is not.
Speaker 8: AGGRESSIVE i don't care IF i was three for fifteen.
Speaker 5: SIXTEEN i had to continue to shoot the basketball to
Speaker 5: give them strength because law of, averages your best player
Speaker 5: is going to find a way in the closing. Moments
Speaker 5: like runts it In game, one he was shooting, Terrible
Speaker 5: but all it takes is a free throw in and
Speaker 5: one a leayup to get you, going and then it
Speaker 5: seems like that rim is like the, ocean so you've
Speaker 5: got to continue to Be they Trust brunson so. Much
Speaker 5: that's WHY i think he's always, aggressive even when he's
Speaker 5: having an.
Speaker 8: Off.
Speaker 3: Nine give me your all six foot two in.
Speaker 5: UNDERTEAM i would go With, ISAIAH i would go With.
Speaker 5: AI i would go With stockton because, look he has
Speaker 5: the all time. Assists you're gonna start thinking About brunson
Speaker 5: in this case now, people especially if he if he
Speaker 5: wins a.
Speaker 8: Championship but there's others Like Nate Tiny, Archibald Chris, Paul
Speaker 8: Chris Chris, Paul, yes, Definitely Chris.
Speaker 5: Paul, yes here's, another here's another name that people don't.
Speaker 5: Like a social eight with smaller. Guards Would Tony parker
Speaker 5: be in this conversation as a six foot one and under?
Speaker 5: Right he was six foot. ONE i Believe Tony parker
Speaker 5: should be in that. CATEGORY i don't think he was
Speaker 5: six three or six.
Speaker 3: Four, No, no he was six to. One But steph
Speaker 3: is six, three, Right.
Speaker 5: Steph is six, Three SO i you said six to, one,

Speaker 3: RUSSELL i don't know what.
