He was using the tragger Girl. He 5 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 1: put some pulled pork on there, and he said it's 6 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 1: going to take twelve hours. And he came back last night. 7 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,599 Speaker 1: I forget what time. He texts me and he said 8 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: it's done, and I said, what's done? He goes the 9 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: pulled pork twelve hours. Now our computers don't work, but 10 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: our it guy did make some great pulled pork on 11 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: the tragger. We'll have that pulled pork coming up a 12 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: little bit later on this hour. I was also looking 13 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: at Michael Jordan and his relationship with Memorial Day weekend. 14 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: He had some great Memorial Day weekends in his career. 15 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: Nineteen eighty nine, that's the Saturday before Memorial Day had 16 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 1: forty six and a win over Detroit made the game 17 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: winning jump shot. Nineteen ninety on Saturday he had forty seven, 18 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: and then on Memorial Day he had forty two. Beat 19 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: Detroit in both of those games. Nineteen ninety one, Memorial 20 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: Day Bulls finish a sweep of Detroit Pistons walked off 21 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: no handshakes nineteen ninety three Memorial Day. Jordan fifty four 22 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: and a win over New York nineteen ninety six Memorial 23 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: Day he has forty five. As the Bulls finish a 24 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: sweep of Orlando and the Eastern Conference Finals, we bring 25 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: in Sam Smith. Sam of course wrote The Jordan Rules 26 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: about Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, and it's hopefully 27 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: got a spike in new book sales there, Sam, because 28 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: Jordan talked about it in the last dance and he 29 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: singled out Horace Grant, one of his former teammates, as 30 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: a snitch. Your reaction when you heard Jordan talk about 31 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: that as Horace Grant as your snitch, was what Sam? Yeah, 32 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: I think we were talking about it with Todd the 33 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: other day. To not to celebrate myself, but that's what 34 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: we do on TV, right. But I had about a 35 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: dozen years is investigative reporting and doing a number of 36 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: things involved the new Phil Jackson from the CBA, spending 37 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: time with him Johnny Bach, you know, from the early 38 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: years when he was coaching of Warriors from Brooklyn. So 39 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: it was a long time friend and text winner. I 40 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,399 Speaker 1: used to sit with on the plane for years. One 41 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: time he brought me I was trying to understand the offense. 42 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: So he brought me the book, his original triple post 43 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: offense book that he had signed for his mother. And 44 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: I said, well, text, I can't have your book you 45 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: signed for your mother. He said, whoa, she died, she 46 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: doesn't need it, and and saw the notion was well 47 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: I had to wait after all this till nineteen eighty eight, 48 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: till twenty one year, twenty two year old kid for 49 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: rurald Georgia came along say now I can do a 50 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: book on this subject. So yeah, I've sort of, you know, 51 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: kind of laughed at it after all those years about 52 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: you know, trying to explain when Michael says something, Hey, 53 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: people said, well, Michael said it, you know, but I 54 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: know you're not going to give up your sources. But 55 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: it was Michael correct at all. In Horace Grant being 56 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 1: a now you would call it a source, Michael called 57 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: it a snitch. Well, you know, doing doing that kind 58 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: of I mean, you're in journalism, so you know, doing 59 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: that kind of project. Everybody's a source, you know, Phil Jackson, 60 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: Johnny Bach, Jerry Reinsdorf, Jerry Krause even I had dinner 61 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: on the road a couple of times, as frightening as 62 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: that might sound. With Jerry Krause when we were in Portland. 63 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: One time I was hanging around in the I think 64 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: it was that season actually in the in the lobby. 65 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: Jerry came down to change his room seven times, which 66 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: he did quite a bit. He didn't like the mattress. 67 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: He had some issue. He said, hey, let's go out 68 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: of dinner. I couldn't think fast enough. And so but 69 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: why do you think Michael singled out Horace? Well, I 70 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: think because you saw this and you know some of 71 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: the reaction after the last dance with Horace and some 72 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: of the players, you know, being upset, you know sort 73 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: of their their their documentary. I'm cutting in. Um. You know, 74 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: Horrace stood up to Michael a lot back then, and 75 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: you know a lot of a lot of the elements 76 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: of the documentary early on, uh, you know, settling grudges 77 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: kind of thing, Mike, Michael takes names and remember so 78 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: you know, Jerry Krauss, I say, uh, you know, and Horrace. Horrace, 79 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: in an odd way was sort of a protector for Scottie. 80 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:28,239 Speaker 1: You know, early on real. Yeah, Scotty early on, uh, 81 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: and they were incredibly close and literally would call each 82 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: other before every game to decide what they were wearing, 83 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: went out and bought the same cars, bought the same dogs. 84 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: They were inseparable and and and but you know, Scotty 85 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: was kind of seduced by Michael's aura and the attention 86 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: with Michael, and he would gravitate over toward Michael. And 87 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: then Michael you know when he was sort of in 88 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: in his arc there. You know, he didn't always We've 89 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: seen he didn't always treat you with uh, perhaps to 90 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: respect you like so Scott he would come back to 91 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 1: Horrace and complain about you know, what he said to 92 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: me and this and sort of that. And so Horace 93 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: would you know, would stand up to Mic sometimes and 94 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: you know when things happened, he wasn't as articulate, as quick, 95 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: you know, as fast stile, and so it didn't come 96 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: off as cleverly. But you know that they had a 97 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: long history of that. And then and then of course 98 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: Horace being the one when he left and went to Orlando, 99 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: and when the year Michael came back in ninety five, 100 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: it was Horrace really you know, of course Shack and 101 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: Penny were the best players, but would Phil had done 102 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: in that series? Realizing Harris not a great shooter, he 103 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: doubled off Horrace. Every time Horror shot like seventy percent 104 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: in the series. You know, it really hits the booting 105 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: baskets and then the Magic players lift them on their shoulders, 106 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: carry them off. Horrace raising his hand, you know, sort 107 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: of pointing at Michael. By the way, there was no 108 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: there was no after the end of that series. There 109 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: was no teammates going to I mean players going to 110 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: congratulate the other team. Michael stalked off pretty fast after 111 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: that one too. So he remembers a lot of evidence 112 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: when when with Horras House is playing in Chicago, Uh, 113 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: this is this has been great. You know, this has 114 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: been obviously with in a lot of places in the country. 115 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: It's kept us, you know, giving us something look forward to. 116 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: But you know, for Chicago it's been particularly special because 117 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: you know, it's not it's not a city with a 118 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: great history of sports success. You know, clubs one hundred 119 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: years until a World Series one of eight as it 120 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: turned out, Um, you know, and and here was a 121 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: celebration of when it wasn't in New York or Boston 122 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: or LA Chicago was the center of the sports world 123 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: for a decade, and so for the local community, it's, 124 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: you know, especially with the Bulls having issues in the 125 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: last you know, a couple of decades. Uh, it's you know, 126 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 1: it's been a terrific opportunity to remember. It's just sort 127 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: of puff your chest out and say, hey, we were 128 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: number one. Talking to Sam Smith, he wrote The Jordan Rules, 129 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: co author of Derreck Rose's autobiography All Show You, which 130 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: is available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble. How are the 131 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: book sales for The Jordan Rules. Has there been a 132 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: spike since the documentary? You know, it's really interesting. I'm 133 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: making the same on that as I am for this appearance. 134 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: The book is out of print and they haven't printed anymore. 135 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: They haven't, No, they that was sort of like one 136 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: of those oh yeah, that would be a good idea. 137 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: I think. I think it's probably occurring to him right 138 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: now that maybe it'll be a good idea. But I 139 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: went and looked on Amazon. I couldn't buy one because 140 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: people will ask him me, They say, well, he could 141 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: give me a book. I said, well, let me see 142 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: if I could buy it. I couldn't buy. Oh wow, 143 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: so you don't pay for appearances, do you? Then? No, 144 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: we don't. All right. So still even with the publisher, 145 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: have you thought about adding an extra chapter for the 146 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: Jordan rules? Uh? Yeah, actually just now, you know, public publishers, 147 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: ever since I realized doing books, they're mostly good at 148 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: just printing. They're really printers, sort of a version of 149 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: what Benjamin Franklin was doing. Um, and so I think 150 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: it's it's kind of cards to them now. And so 151 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: they just literally at the end of the documentary got 152 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: back to me and said, uh, well we're thinking of, 153 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: you know, maybe printing another edition of course later this year, 154 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: and uh, maybe you could write something for it. So yeah, 155 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: so I probably it will end up doing that, happen 156 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: to have it. Yet, Also, the whole flu game now 157 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: became food poisoning. Why after all of these years that 158 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: Michael never addressed this or clarified it until we got 159 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: to the documentary, Why would you do it? It wasn't 160 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: food poisoning. They made that up? You know that there 161 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: was there was there was you know, there were several 162 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: things based on a true story kind of thing in 163 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: this and that was one of them. I mean, you know, 164 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: I know, in our society we like to believe in 165 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: conspiracies a lot because they're a lot more fun and 166 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: interesting than the truth, you know, sort of like Michael 167 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: being kicked out of the NBA, you know, and which 168 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: they addressed quite a bit because of the gambling and everything, 169 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: which obviously wasn't the case. And you know, David Stern 170 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: and Brian McIntyre and Mark Van Sill any number of 171 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: people commented on that. People, you know, it's associated, but 172 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: he wasn't poisoned, and that's not what happened. And I 173 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: mean the story if you watched, I mean you didn't 174 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,959 Speaker 1: watching the documentary. I mean, seriously, five people, Michael Jordan, 175 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: the most protected, nobody knows where he is, secure person. 176 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, five guys from a pizza place. 177 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: And by the way, who's ordering pizza in Salt Lake City? 178 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: But beyond that, and they were in Park City. You know, 179 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: what do you think happened? Sam? He was ill, There 180 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: is no question. I think I think he had something 181 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: that wasn't as manly as maybe some other episodes. I 182 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: think I think because what they were doing, they were 183 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: going up to Park City in the mountains in the 184 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: ski area to stay. That's where they stayed. So they 185 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: had a practice in Salt Lake City, so they kept 186 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: coming in and out, in and out. And I think 187 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: it was altitude sickness. The symptoms that he had fit 188 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: that much more than anything else that he had, And 189 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 1: so there was some sort of illness. There was no 190 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: question he was ill. I wouldn't deny that. He definitely was. 191 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: He was sick, but he wasn't poisoned. Yeah, but I 192 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: don't understand why not just let this sleeping dog lie 193 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:52,719 Speaker 1: that it's the flu game. We've we celebrated this, I mean, now, 194 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, even when he says it's Sam 195 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: in the documentary, he doesn't say it in a convincing 196 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: manner that he had food pull He looks away. He 197 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: says it, and he looks away, like, hey, I gotta 198 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: I gotta believe this. It was food poisoning. And I'm 199 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: thinking you were You got away with this. It was 200 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: the flu. Now, all of a sudden, it might be 201 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: throwing a Cuban cigar or to some drinks in altitude sickness. 202 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: And you got a guy who looks gray when he 203 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: walks into the building that night. Well, You're right. People 204 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: always said a hangover and stuff, and to me that 205 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 1: was sort of irrelevant because Michael never slept, got out 206 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 1: and played golf, you know, two three hours of sleep. 207 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: You know, if he drank smoke cigars, that that was 208 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: you know, thirteen years of stuff and he still went 209 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: out and got fifty. So I had nothing to do 210 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 1: with it. Yeah, right, there was no There was no 211 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: reason too. It was also you know, part of it 212 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: was it was I think that you didn't need to 213 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 1: add drama to this documentary. It was a great show 214 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: otherwise the Jordan story. But it was like, you know, 215 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: they had the beginning and you know the theme of 216 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: eighty two and oh, Jerry Krause, you're never coming back, 217 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: you know in that set, so you got to end 218 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 1: the documentary. Also in a similar way, he left. He 219 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 1: didn't he didn't want to play that extra year. He 220 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: could have in any number of ways. So he'd have 221 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: made that up to at the end that I wish 222 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: I could have come back. I wanted to come back. 223 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: He didn't want. He didn't want to come back, you know, 224 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: I mean there was a look, there was a whole 225 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: team there other than Scottie, who you know, was limited 226 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: by the time at the end of the finals, had 227 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: to have back surgery again. You know, went to Houston, 228 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: had a poor season, you know, left and there, went 229 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: to Portland. He was just a role player, so that 230 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: you know, an aunt coup coach Harper, Winnington Brown, there 231 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: were a number of Simon, there was a number of 232 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: the team there and they had money for free agents 233 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: and they actually added Brent Barry that season, who was 234 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: a good free agent. You know, so if he wanted 235 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: to stay and Rodman of course was coming back for 236 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,559 Speaker 1: the one year. He was begging him for that one 237 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: year deal, and so if he wanted to one year 238 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: in the forty million, he could have got. And he 239 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: just didn't want to play. I mean, we saw it 240 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: with with a mod and all those scenes that hey, 241 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: I've had enough. You know, I'm out of here. You know, 242 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: I got to move on, you know. So, I mean, 243 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: but it was a better story to end it that way, 244 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: to say, hey, you know, yeah, one more chance, going 245 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: for seven. I should have done you know, we could 246 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 1: have done that, and I didn't want to do that. 247 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: But you know, the other thing too about that is 248 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: we always complain about all these athletes United's and Willie 249 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: Mays and Ricky Henderson whatever, Why did they do? Why 250 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 1: why didn't they just quit on top? We did? He 251 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: quit on top? We should we should be celebrating that 252 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: he left us wanting more and then he came back 253 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: to the Wizards. Well, we don't count that. We don't 254 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: and wasn't in the documentary. Therefore it doesn't exist exactly, 255 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: it shouldn't. Well, you know that that one was I'm 256 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: gonna be I was the GM as your members, the 257 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: GM of the Wizards. He had supposedly part ownership and 258 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 1: part of Michael is Look if he, if he could, 259 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: he would come back and play now, because some of 260 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: these guys in the document could challenged him and said 261 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: he couldn't do it. Bryan Russell didn't get interviewed. Probably 262 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,719 Speaker 1: said I could take him now and he would come 263 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 1: back and play again if he could, and he would try. 264 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,599 Speaker 1: You know that that's where the guy is. He was 265 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: always about the game more than anything. Yeah, had the 266 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: famous love of the game clause in his first contract. 267 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: You know, he really wasn't about the advertising in the marketing, 268 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: and you saw his mom wanted to made him go 269 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: after you gotta go see Nike. He just wanted to play, 270 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: and so you know that's a that's his nature of 271 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: the guy. So he couldn't help himself when he went 272 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: with the Wizards because he's looking around at all these 273 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: guys and you know, he's beating him. He says, I 274 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: could beat you all in practice. So he's him and 275 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: he's playing them all in practice and beating him. So 276 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: he said, well, I'll go out and play anyway. I 277 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: mean that that was just a wonderful bart about the guy. 278 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: You just never could stop him. He just wanted to 279 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: play games all the time. Sam, thanks for joining us. 280 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: We appreciate it.

PAULI, Yeah, it's oxygen deprivation. Nausea 288 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: is very common, the vomiting is very common with altitude sickness, 289 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: and it doesn't go away the moment you go back 290 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: to natural altitude.

I got altitude sickness, but I 304 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: told him it was food poisoning, although it could have 305 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: been the flu.

It's an honor 330 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: to go right after Jeff in Detroit, comment and question 331 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: if that's okay the right Thompson you introduced us to 332 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: him or at least me. That was a great interview, 333 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: the article about Jordan's childhood and his parents. Only that 334 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: guy can tie the Hatfields into McCoys to Michael Jordan 335 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 1: and Terry Jordan's it's ridiculous. Yeah, question for you, and 336 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 1: I started to do this on a meet Friday. But 337 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,919 Speaker 1: I'm wondering does ESPN release a daily list for our 338 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: entertainment or just to keep pissing you off? Because they 339 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: released all the time starting five of some teams and 340 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: missing from the Warriors all time. Thirty five is a 341 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: guy who averaged forty points in the finals in a 342 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: losing series and then actually single handed one another finals, 343 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 1: sweeping the Bullets and West End Fold. I'm thirty three 344 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 1: years old and I know who Rick Berry is. They 345 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: got Dreymond Green ahead of the guy. Oh, I know, 346 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 1: it's embarrassing. Well, thank you, Jesse. I didn't even address 347 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:53,360 Speaker 1: that because it was gonna drive me crazy. Yam point again. Yeah, 348 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: ESPN did starting five for each team historically, and the 349 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: starting fire for the Warriors Steph Curry, Clay Thompson, Kevin Durant. 350 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 1: I had a long time there, Draymond Green and Will Chamberlain. 351 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 1: Wouldn't you think that, um, what's the name from Saint 352 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 1: John's Chris Mullen. Yeah, wouldn't he make it over a 353 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: long career there, Chrismullen. Yeah, I don't. I don't know 354 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 1: what they're basing this off of, but to not have 355 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 1: Rick Berry there, who almost single handedly helped you win 356 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: a title. Rick Berry put up some pretty good numbers 357 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: for the Warriors. Draymond Green on any other team is 358 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: just another player, you know. With the Warriors, he served 359 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: a role and at times he was brilliant in that role. 360 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: But he's not carrying a team. No, Chris Mallen was. 361 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: I mean, look at how many years was Chris maulin. 362 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 1: You know. Let me take a break here because I'm 363 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: gonna explode again and I'm gonna intodate you a list. Okay, 364 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: we'll take a break. Yeah, seton. I just googled the 365 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 1: greatest Warriors of all time and Untila the hun came up. 366 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: So I'm on the wrong path. Okay, great, a low post. 367 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 1: No Spartacus in there, really really ESPN. We're gonna take 368 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: a break here. We're gonna take a break here. I'm 369 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: gonna go and shoot some hoops here in the man cave, 370 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: and then we'll come back and we'll politely, professionally discuss 371 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: this back after this and The Dan Patrick Show.

The all time Golden State 383 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: Warrior team includes Wild Chamberlain, who played for the Philadelphia Warriors. 384 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 1: This is on ESPN dot com. So Clay Thompson, Steph Curry, 385 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, Draymond Greenwilt Chamberlain are they Are these the 386 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: best players or the best team According to the ESPN 387 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 1: NBA Writers quote, We asked our NBA writers to come 388 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: up with an all time starting five for every current 389 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: NBA franchise, along with an old time team or something. 390 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 1: Only players contributions during the time with that franchise were considered. 391 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: That means Lebron James wouldn't be on the Lakers. And 392 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: it's basically what team you'd compete with. But you can't. 393 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: It has to be a team. It can't. It has 394 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: to be a team like by position. You can't have 395 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: four centers. No, no. You can look at the Lakers. 396 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: They got Kareem and Shock, they got Jerry Weston, Kobe 397 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: Bryants or shooting guards. They added some flexibility in choosing 398 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: a lineup, but they won't. You won't see a team 399 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: of four centers or three point guards. A quain. No, No, 400 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: there's two centers on here, not three. The idea was 401 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: to dive into a team's history and create a group 402 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: that could potentially share the floor together. It's about building 403 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: a team from Okay, Rick Berry should be on there 404 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: instead of Clay Thompson. Okay, Rick Berry should be on 405 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 1: there instead of Draymond Green. Will Chamberlain didn't play for 406 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors. He played for the Philadelphia Warriors. 407 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: They're counting that because it's the Warriors franchise. Even difference 408 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 1: at lease. You can put Nate Thurman in there if 409 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: you want to, but not Will Chamberlain. See, I was 410 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: doing well, Paulie. I almost made it. I had a 411 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: half hour to go. Should I say this for Monday? No, 412 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: we're not here Monday, and don't save it for Tuesday. Either. 413 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 1: The Lakers have Magic, Jerry West, Kobe Bryan kareem Ill 414 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 1: Dul Jabbar, and Shaquille O'Neil. So that right there, their 415 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 1: logic is flawed or the criterias flawed. I got two 416 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: shooting guards and I've got two centers for the Lakers. 417 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: The Rockets have James Harden, Calvin Murphy, Tracy McGrady, Rudy, 418 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: Tom Jonovitch, Akim Elijah One. I'm fine with that. I'm 419 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: sure there's somebody who's left out. You know. The one 420 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: that bothers me the most is a great starting five 421 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 1: for the history of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Ricky Rubio on 422 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: the all time starting five. What did he do? Wow? 423 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 1: He was an average to blow average player. Chris Mannox 424 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: has to be thrilled. No offense, Yeah, no offense, No 425 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: offense taken Bob and Seattle joins us, Hey, Bob, what 426 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: do you have for me? Morning fellows morning? Six foot 427 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:27,439 Speaker 1: one seventy five right, meed microfractor surgery survivor as well. Okay, 428 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: here in Seattle, we climb a lot of mountains and 429 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 1: I personally have been up to twenty four thousand feet 430 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: and mountain sickness is no joke. I just want to 431 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: bring that delight that is very debilitating. All right, Yeah, 432 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 1: I believe it. But you know, let's be honest here, 433 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: Jordan just drove to Park City. He didn't climb a mountain. 434 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: Sweet what it? Okay? Would it be bad for his brand? 435 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: If air Jordan got air sickness, our altitude sickness? Yeah? 436 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: Point in all seriousness, sand Smith said he thinks it's 437 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:11,360 Speaker 1: alcohol are altitude. Um, so we'll slip there. If Back 438 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: in the day, it was it was announced that Jordan 439 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: almost couldn't play play in a game because he stayed 440 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: at a different hotel than the rest of the team 441 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: and the team doctors said, hey, you shouldn't be staying 442 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: at a high altude. That could be something that would 443 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: be frowned upon if that were the reason. But blaming 444 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: a pizza's right, But you went we were, we were 445 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: fine with the flu. Nobody was questioning the flu. It's 446 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: like Michael wanted to add another element like degree of 447 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: difficulty here. Yeah, you know, he probably thought I had 448 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: the flu I was actually almost poisoned. Yeah. See, I 449 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 1: don't like being mistaken. My memory might be failing me. 450 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: But I thought one of the biggest conspiracies of Michael 451 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: Jordan's career was did he have the flu or was 452 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: he out all night partying? Yeah? So I don't really 453 00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: know that. We did move on from like what everybody 454 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 1: except the flu game. Could you imagine if he ignored 455 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: the flu game in this documentary, we would be killing him. 456 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 1: He didn't have to say over the food poisoning. Maybe 457 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 1: that's what he thinks it was. But if that's the case, 458 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: then why did you wait twenty two years to correct that. 459 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: He's been interviewed before and now he's going to correct it. Man, 460 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: I'm guessing he had some cigars, he had some beverages, 461 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: and maybe he had altitude sickness. Maybe he had something. 462 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,400 Speaker 1: I know that. I was just surprised that Jordan added 463 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: something to that and went, you know what, I had 464 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 1: food poisoning. And then all of a sudden, you're going, 465 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 1: wait what And now we're tracking down the Pizza Hut 466 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: assistant manager to find out if it's true and who 467 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: are these five guys who went to his room and 468 00:25:52,680 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna find out about this. It just I enjoyed 469 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: the documentary. It was based on a true story. Let's 470 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: put it that way. Sam Smith pointed out, it's a 471 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: it's a nice documentary based on a true story. Yes, mclove, Okay, 472 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 1: is this is this going to put a bow on 473 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 1: the flu game? Are we done? No? No, no, no, no, 474 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: because we did? I think now you can say was 475 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 1: he out? Yeah, maybe he did have the flu. He 476 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: was sick, but now it's food poisoning and now you're 477 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: finding out was it really food poison I don't know. 478 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: It just opened it up where more people are going 479 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: to talk about this. And why would Jordan not tell 480 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: the truth. I don't know. Why would he say food 481 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 1: poison He had it? He was good with the flu. 482 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: We were fine with it. It was known as the 483 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 1: flu game. We didn't say that the hungover game. It 484 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 1: was called the flu game. Yes, see, no counter. It 485 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: seems like unless Michael Jordan said, Okay, fine, all right, 486 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: I was out partying all night and I was super 487 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: hungover and that's why I had the flu, wasn't really 488 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: the flu. I was like massively hungover. That's probably the 489 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: only story that people would accept. No, we would accept 490 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: altitude sickness. Nobody would be saying today like, wait a minute. 491 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,199 Speaker 1: Know Jordan said he was out on night party, and 492 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: I think that's a cover for altitude sickness. I think 493 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: no person alive would say that. I think if he said, look, 494 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: I thought I had the flu, but I was told 495 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: later I had altitude sickness, who's going to argue with that, 496 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: Because then it's he's saying something like, man, I'm vulnerable here. 497 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 1: Not Hey, I was party and I didn't care. You know, 498 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: I was up all night. It's got to be somebody 499 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: else's fault. Somebody didn't you know, they didn't make a 500 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: pizza correctly and I got sick because of it. If 501 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 1: he said altitude sickness, I think it would have looked 502 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: bad for a guy named Air Jordan that he got 503 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: altitude sickness. That's all the Jordan illness. Maybe maybe he 504 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: had too many of those Cuban cigars. I've had Cuban cigars. 505 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: Where my head spinning, where you turned green? I've seen 506 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: people throw up with Cuban cigars. But Mike smoked a 507 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: lot smoke on game day. Yeah, mclovin, maybe you could 508 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: do a supplementary line of clothes. Thin Air Jordan, thin Air, 509 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: got it in it? Yeah, got it? Thank god? You 510 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 1: know what you just did. Mcleven. You opened the door 511 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: for Fritzie. Here we go. What do you got time? 512 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 1: I was just thinking about like bad attitude, bad altitude, 513 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: something alone. No, that's not good. Not good. Now we're 514 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: workshopping it though. It's like like some time my country 515 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,880 Speaker 1: song about Jordan. All right, Uh, some phone calls here 516 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 1: Drew in Texas, Hey, Drew, what do you have for me? Hey? 517 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: How's everybody doing today? Great? Drew. Yeah, I'm just gonna 518 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: throw in there that at a high altitude, alcohol doesn't 519 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: really makes it your system. Yeah, I think everybody knows that. 520 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: But I'm just gonna keey on that. I think that's 521 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: what it was. If you've ever experienced that, it's definitely debilitating. Yeah. 522 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: I've never had altitude sickness at least I don't think 523 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: I've been in Park City, but I don't. I remember 524 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: walking a lot in Park City and you have to 525 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: get used to it, like there's there's a shortness of 526 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: breath there and you don't realize it at the time, 527 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: but you're like, wow, I'm laboring here. I don't know 528 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: if going back and forth from Salt Lake to Park City, 529 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: if that would have I don't know how you contract 530 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: altitude sickness. I don't know what you are doing that 531 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: will bring it on or increase the chances of you 532 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: getting it. Scott and Montana joins us high Scott Hey 533 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: Dan six foote and Yeah, I was living down in 534 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: Salt Lake during those two years, and you know, you 535 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: really got to be doing something physically exhausting to get 536 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: altitude sickness in combination with dehydration. So I just got 537 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: to believe that, you know, with Mike and gatorade, if 538 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: it gets out that he's got altitude sickness, man, that 539 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: it's bad on gatorade. So I would add plausible acceptance 540 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: to the whole altitude sickness thing, and I gotta correct PAULI. 541 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: He said the Salt Lakes at four thousand square feet. 542 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: It's at four thousand feet of elevation square feet.

I did not 612 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 1: know that. I did not know that either. That's it. 613 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 1: In the words of Chris Myers, that is something I 614 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 1: did not know. Man. This pulled pork is good, But 615 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: we just had a question. It wasn't a debate or anything. 616 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 1: It wasn't controversial. There's coleslaw on the pulled pork, and 617 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,839 Speaker 1: I said to PAULI, I'm not a col slang guy. 618 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: I like pickles on the pulled pork, and PAULI is 619 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 1: a cole slan guy. Let me ask the Dannets who 620 00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 1: aren't here. Seaton will start with you. When you have 621 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: pulled pork, do you like having coleslaan or pickles? Well, 622 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 1: it kind of depends on the mood. I'm sort of 623 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 1: in all of the above, but usually never at the 624 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 1: same time. Sometimes I just like the pulled pork. Sometimes 625 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 1: I'll throw some pickles on there. Sometimes it'll be cole slaw. 626 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 1: So I'm sort of all of the above. I guess 627 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 1: that's a non answer, but I like them all. I'm 628 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: used to that from Todd. Todd I would grab coleslaw 629 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 1: a lot faster than i'd grab pickles for pulled pork. Man, 630 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 1: i don't know what's happened here, but I've become obsessed 631 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 1: with pickles, Like all of a sudden, I'm like, man, 632 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:34,319 Speaker 1: I miss a pickle, Levin Man, anything sounds good right 633 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: now as I go off to eat my tunea fish champ, 634 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: are you guys are ready pulled pork? It's a cruel question. 635 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: I'll take anything. Yeah, it is pretty good. Yeah, point, 636 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,279 Speaker 1: I did a little research. Most, especially in the South, 637 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: barbecue places, cole slaw and pulled pork is very common. 638 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 1: But they'll let you know, so it's your choice. They 639 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 1: rarely will put it on without alerting the customer. It's 640 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,720 Speaker 1: a big debate, Okay. A couple of phone calls Alex 641 00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 1: and Utah. Hi, Alex, Now are you going well? How 642 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 1: are you guys doing on this nice meet Friday. We're 643 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 1: doing great, We're doing great, awesome, first time, long time 644 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:11,359 Speaker 1: five eleven in a blue collar one sixty. So I 645 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:15,240 Speaker 1: had a question with all to talk about the nineties 646 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: and the Jan Jordan era. Being a hometown boy from Utah, 647 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 1: KR Malone has been one of my sports idols forever. 648 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:28,400 Speaker 1: He's unquestionable Hall of Famer before his career ended, fourteen 649 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 1: time All Star, fourteen time All Team NBA, and in 650 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,440 Speaker 1: my opinion, probably one of the most underrated and overlooked 651 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 1: players because he played in the Jordan era. I was 652 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: wondering what your thoughts were on either him being the 653 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 1: most the biggest casualty of playing in the Jordan era, 654 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 1: or who you thought was the biggest casualty of playing 655 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 1: in the Jordan Era. I would say Patrick Ewing because 656 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 1: Ewing lost a national title to Jordan. Let me on 657 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 1: to start there, it was Georgetown losing to Michael Jordan 658 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 1: North Carolina, and then after that, you know, even when 659 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 1: we thought the Knicks had a better team, Jordan somehow 660 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 1: was able to beat him. Reggie Miller would be up there, 661 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 1: Cleveland Cavaliers are up there. Charles Barkley is in the mix. 662 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,879 Speaker 1: But yeah, Malone is there because he went to two 663 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: finals and lost to Jordan, and he won the MVP 664 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 1: that year, that last year, the nineteen ninety eight, and 665 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 1: he deserved it. I know. Michael said, oh, you're gonna 666 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 1: give it to Carl all right, let's see if he 667 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,040 Speaker 1: can win a title. You know, the same thing with Charles. 668 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 1: Those guys won MVPs in years where they went to 669 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: the finals, and Jordan used that as extra motivation against them. 670 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,400 Speaker 1: Kyle in Pennsylvania joins us, Hi, Kyle, what do you 671 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:50,320 Speaker 1: have for me? Hi? Did a gorilla strink six foot 672 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:55,360 Speaker 1: two thirty three. I want to talk over the past 673 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,239 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, since the documents come out about Jordan 674 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,280 Speaker 1: has been you know, I'm bok a cigars him drinking 675 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,360 Speaker 1: all this stuff. So with the new athletes nowadays, and 676 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:11,320 Speaker 1: especially you know as done by Tom Brady, who Tampa Tom, 677 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 1: How he took sure of his body, you know, the 678 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 1: whole thing. Do you think he could have played longer 679 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,840 Speaker 1: or played better? How DoD he not? I guess smokes 680 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:25,319 Speaker 1: cigars and drank so much. I think it's I think 681 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 1: it's a reasonable question to ask. We just see the 682 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:34,040 Speaker 1: finished product of winning six titles. I don't if if 683 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,439 Speaker 1: he's four and two in the NBA Finals, we are 684 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:40,960 Speaker 1: questioning his off the court dedication to the sport. Oh, 685 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 1: he drinks, he gambles, he smokes cigars, he plays golf 686 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 1: all the time. He's six and ozero and people don't 687 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 1: question that. I don't know if it felt like Michael, 688 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 1: that's who he was, and he was going to be 689 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,359 Speaker 1: the best player on the floor, no matter what. I mean, 690 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,400 Speaker 1: he was the best player on the floor. And he 691 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,240 Speaker 1: was staying up all night or he was playing golf 692 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 1: every morning. He would play thirty six sometimes the day 693 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 1: of a game. It's just he didn't sleep a lot. 694 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: That's just who he was. But I don't know how 695 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: much greater he would have been if he wasn't smoking 696 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,440 Speaker 1: cigars and drinking because I don't know how much he drank. 697 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 1: I know that he smoked cigars, but I don't I 698 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 1: never heard anything about Michael, you know, as far as 699 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 1: being a big drinker. Ben in Indiana? Hi, Ben? Would 700 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 1: he have for me? Hey? Dan, first time long time 701 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:39,879 Speaker 1: six one harde? Yeah? Sorry if I'm asking a question 702 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 1: that's already been addressed. But why was Michael staying at 703 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:47,360 Speaker 1: a different hotel than the rest of the team, and especially, 704 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 1: you know, thirty thirty five minutes away from the rest 705 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 1: of the team. He's one of the first athletes I 706 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,239 Speaker 1: remember doing that. Now, cal Cal Ripken did it. But 707 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,400 Speaker 1: Ripken told me that he stayed at a different hotel 708 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 1: because he knew that would take a little bit of 709 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 1: the pressure off his teammates with signing autographs, because if 710 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,560 Speaker 1: you found Ripken, he was going to sign your autographs. 711 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,840 Speaker 1: But he said that he stayed in a separate hotel 712 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,759 Speaker 1: so his teammates wouldn't be inundated that the people who 713 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,840 Speaker 1: wanted an autograph wanted Cal's autograph, they would try to 714 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,600 Speaker 1: find out where he was staying. Michael was staying thirty 715 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:27,000 Speaker 1: five minutes outside of Salt Lake, and it's probably, you know, 716 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,880 Speaker 1: for survival, a necessity for Jordan. He had to be 717 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,240 Speaker 1: away for he had to get away from this because 718 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 1: if you saw the traveling circus that followed him and 719 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,760 Speaker 1: downtown Salt Lake, those are tight quarters there finding out 720 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,400 Speaker 1: where somebody is and then trying to get in there, 721 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 1: or somebody's going to pull the fire alarm, or you 722 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 1: know the things that happened when the Lakers played the Celtics. 723 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,400 Speaker 1: You know, your people are going to try to find 724 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 1: you for whatever reason. And I think Mike needed to 725 00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 1: get away. He would take usually the top floor, take 726 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 1: the penthouse suite, and that allowed him he could decompress 727 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 1: with his friends and the guys who wear his bodyguards 728 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 1: a mad Rashad, Quinn Buckner. These were the guys who 729 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,359 Speaker 1: were always around Mike. That was his inner circle. Go 730 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,759 Speaker 1: around the room. On what we learned on this program, 731 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,839 Speaker 1: Toddle'll start with you Chris Weber surprised to see Michael 732 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 1: Jordan's smoking a cigar right before a playoff game against 733 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,600 Speaker 1: Chris Webber. If you didn't hear the interview, He's wonderful. 734 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 1: He's one of our favorite guests. He really is great. 735 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 1: He just tells stories. Mclovin, We've heard the story before, 736 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,360 Speaker 1: but Seaweb kind of sold out Calbert Cheney in his 737 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:36,959 Speaker 1: story about Geordy. Yeah, seen O'Connor. Chris Webber's only superstition 738 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 1: is not to have any superstitions, which is a superstition. Paulli. 739 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,960 Speaker 1: Chris Weber's barn looks like a mix of the Hoosier's 740 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,879 Speaker 1: Jim and the Hinkelfield House at Butler Beautiful.
