1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: Sports Radio final hour on this Tuesday, Dan and the 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,800 Speaker 1: danets Stan Patrick Show. That was twenty four hours ago 4 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: when we let off the final hour of the show, 5 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: not sure what we were going to get from Scottie Pippen. 6 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: We got more than what we planned on. We'll check 7 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: in with the Chicago reaction to Scottie Pippen. This took 8 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: over Chicago Sports Radio yesterday. There are a few things 9 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: that were said by Scotty yesterday. He talked about Michael 10 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: Jordan being selfish wanting to go play baseball. He talked 11 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 1: about Phil Jackson trying to expose Kobe writing a book. 12 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,480 Speaker 1: He accused Phil Jackson of being a racist. He talked 13 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: about the nineteen ninety four playoff game where Tony ko 14 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: coach took the last shot and he didn't back off. 15 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: Phil Jackson wanted Tony ku coach who's white, to have 16 00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,040 Speaker 1: that opportunity to have the game winning shot. And I 17 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: just thought it was interesting where Scotty was talking about 18 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: Scottie in third person when he's also talking about Michael 19 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: Jordan being selfish and Scotty taking himself out of the game. 20 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: Here is his comment about Michael Jordan wanting to go 21 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: play baseball. What did you think when he said he 22 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: was going to go play baseball. I didn't really think 23 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: about it. I was really focused on my own craft 24 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: at that time. But I thought it was a big 25 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: decision though, Yeah it was. It was a big decision, 26 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: but it was a selfish decision. But it was kind 27 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: of who Michael Jordan was, and that was a guy 28 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: that kind of believed that he can do anything on 29 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: his own. Now, he was honest about him giving an 30 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: opinion about Michael, and most people are afraid to be 31 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: honest about Michael. Most people afraid to be honest about 32 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: Tiger Woods. He's saying that that was a selfish move 33 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: by Michael Jordan. He also talked about Phil Jackson and 34 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,559 Speaker 1: what he did or tried to do to be Bryant 35 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: has left the Lakers, went wrote a book on Kobe Bryant, 36 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: and then came back and coached him. I mean, who 37 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: would do that? You name someone in professional sports that 38 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: would do that. You know, I think he's got to 39 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: expose Kobe in a way that he shouldn't have. You're 40 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: the head coach, and you're the guy that sits in 41 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: the locker room and tells the players, this is a 42 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: circle and everything stays within the circle, because that's what 43 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: team is about. But you, as the head coach, open 44 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: it up and now you go out and you try 45 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: to belittle at that time, probably one of the greatest 46 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: players in the game. What it feels like he's disloyal. 47 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if that makes him a racist. Well, 48 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: that's your way of putting it out, and I have 49 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: my way. I was in the locker room with him, 50 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: I was in practice sits with him. You're looking for 51 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: him a far I needed other examples there if you're 52 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: going to put that label on Phil Jackson. We did 53 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: reach out to Phil to see if he wanted to 54 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: come on. We reached out to former teammates if Scotty 55 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: back in nineteen ninety four. Everybody decline, which I certainly 56 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: understand it. I just wanted to be fair to everybody 57 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 1: in this situation. But I wonder if the Bowls get 58 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: together for a reunion, and Chicago loves to have a 59 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: reunion when they win a championship, I would love to 60 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: love to get that opportunity just to listen in, just 61 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: to eavesdrop on that kind of conversation there. You know, 62 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: the thought of that Phil is giving the ball to 63 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: Tony Coop coach, you know, had racism. It's not being 64 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: very fair to Phil in that moment where he's trying 65 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: to win a game. I think you're down two games 66 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: to none, and Tony Coup coach gave you a better chance. 67 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: Scotty was just offended that, Hey, the game's on the line, 68 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: I get the ball. Well, the best player doesn't always 69 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: get the ball. Sometimes the best player understands what's best 70 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: for the team is I might have to be a 71 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: decoy here. I mean Reggie Miller said that, Hey, there 72 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: were times when I had to be a decoy, and 73 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: he's the guy you want to take the shot. But 74 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: this is a situation that Scottie probably was like, I've 75 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: emerged from Michael's shadow. I'm going to lead this team 76 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: to the NBA Finals, which would have been an incredible 77 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: moment in his career. And it feels like those one 78 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: point eight seconds have stayed with him for twenty seven 79 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: years and Chicago fans never forgot that he wanted to 80 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: sit down those one point eight seconds and I guess 81 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: just imagine holding onto that that You know that people 82 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: remember you for sitting one six titles. But if I said, 83 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: give me the individual moment for Scottie Pippen, now you 84 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: can say, hey had a dunkover Patrick Ewing in the postseason. Okay, 85 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,239 Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess there are a lot of basketball fans 86 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: if I had a singular moment with Scottie Pippen, it 87 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: might be that maybe not fair, but that's the one 88 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: you remember. Scotti was one of those players that you 89 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: didn't realize how great he was until after the game 90 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: when you just saw the box score, because he filled 91 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,679 Speaker 1: up every category for you. He was wonderful defender, passer, 92 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: rebounder score. He wasn't a great shooter, but he was 93 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: a very capable scorer. But you emerge from Michael's shadow, 94 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,799 Speaker 1: and not many do. I'm going to take this team 95 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: to the NBA Finals, maybe we'll win a title without Michael, 96 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: and then you have that moment in his mind being 97 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,679 Speaker 1: taken from you, and it was his sell fish moved 98 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: by him. He was also saying that Michael Jordan was 99 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: selfish when Michael wanted to go play baseball. Michael Jordan 100 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: never goes away these stories. These stories always come back, 101 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: and it goes back to last year during the pandemic. 102 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: A whole different generation saw that that Scott he signed 103 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: a bad contract, that Mike did everything well right, great, 104 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: and everybody else had flaws, but Scott he's holding on 105 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: to that. I don't know what his book is going 106 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: to be like coming out this fall, but I'm curious 107 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: if there's bombshells. I'm assuming there will be, because it 108 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: feels like if I was able to sit in a 109 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: room and we had let's say a couple hours for 110 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: three or four days where we're just talking, that you 111 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: could get into some pretty deep stuff and some things 112 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: that he feels like he was slighted on. I'm going 113 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: to guess that book will probably have a few more 114 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: of these headline worthy stories there. We'll check in with 115 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: Chicago's reaction to this. We often look at NBA players 116 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: with injuries facing a catch twenty two because if you play, 117 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: you risk making it worse, or you don't perform the 118 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: way you should, and then people wonder why you're even 119 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: out there. And you've got Trey Young. He's listed as 120 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: questionable for tonight's Eastern Conference game against the Bucks. He 121 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: stepped on an official's foot twisted his ankle in Game three. 122 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: We love to romanticize the Kurt Gibson comes to the 123 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: played against Dennis Eckersley. Willis Reid is limping out there. 124 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: In the nineteen seventy NBA Finals, You forget Willis scored 125 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: four points in that game. He was named MVP, but 126 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: he scored four points. The Hawks are going to need 127 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: a lot more than four points from Trey Young to 128 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: beat the Milwaukee Bucks, and they're already shorthanded going into 129 00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: this series. But this is it's a situation where what 130 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: can you ask of Trey Young? And without him, can 131 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: you generate enough offense. There was a comment last night 132 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: made by Jeff Van Gundi and Mark Jackson, and they're 133 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: always complaining about this. NBA is a lot softer than 134 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: when they coached and they played. Here is their comments 135 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: last night. I am sick of the cissification of the game. 136 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: That's not a flag foul. He contested. He fouled him. Sure, 137 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: you're too freakd on. That's not just a contest. That's 138 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: a slap in the face. He understood what he was doing. 139 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: They're talking about Patrick Beverley sweeping the legs he went 140 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: karate kid with Chris Paul. Chris Paul was looking for 141 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: contact there and Patrick Beverley. He got caught in going 142 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: over a pick DeAndre Ayton pick and then the momentum kept, 143 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: you know, kind of slid him into Chris Paul's legs 144 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: and it was called a flager and foul. Yes, mclub. 145 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: First of all, Aiden took about nine steps on that 146 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: supposed pick, and he was climbing over Eighton's gigantic leg. 147 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 1: It was it was not a typical Patrick Beverly flavor foul. 148 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 1: What is a typical Patrick Beverly flagrant foul? How about 149 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: when Devin Booker had his nose broken in three places? 150 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: Was that a flagrant foul? Oh? That's right, It wasn't 151 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: called even that. I don't know if that's a flavor 152 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: they called a flag. Ken Johnson was just moved his 153 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: elbow and just happened to hit a guy. I don't 154 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: understand flagrant really, Like, what does it mean? Did you 155 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: have to intentionally hurt the person? I guess, I guess 156 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: there has to be intent, and then judging intent, did 157 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: Patrick Beverly intentionally try to hurt Chris Paul? I don't 158 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: think so in fact, he mocked Chris Paul when he 159 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: got up and then he patted himself. He patted Chris 160 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: Paul in the rear end to say, all right, good 161 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: for you man, you sold it. Yeah. Point. I think though, 162 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 1: Mark Jackson and Van Gundy, they complain a lot about 163 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: the friendliness of the sport, the fact that guys are 164 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: hugging and kissing between periods than having fun, and it 165 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be vital important like a playoff game. 166 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,959 Speaker 1: There should be no friendships. There should be hard files, 167 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: and we should the ref shouldn't be so protective that 168 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: a guy got knocked on his backside. Well, it has 169 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: to change. It had to change from the way it was, 170 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: you know back in the nineties, you know, the way 171 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: the Knicks used to play, the way the Cabs used 172 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: to play like. It was not fun, It was not 173 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: great basketball. Now they've given the offense too much freedom. 174 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: It's just like you know, pro football, I can't put 175 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: my hands on you, you know after five yards, you know, 176 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's really impossible to try to cover somebody. 177 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: It's it's really difficult to cover somebody in the NBA, 178 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: you know, if you're if you're a scorer, you become 179 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: an even greater score. It feels like with today's rules, 180 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: and I think that's what they lament. They want to 181 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: see actual basketball where you can guard somebody. If I 182 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: put my hand on you, that's a foul. Not allowed 183 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: to do any of that stuff. Yeah, Nickle, I've seen 184 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: some complaints about pick and roll is becoming too predictable. 185 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: It's like the only playing Yes, it is. It is. 186 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: Absolutely When you watch a game, notice the number of 187 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 1: pick and rolls, and all you want to do is 188 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: get your big guy alone on an island. That's it. Yeah. 189 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: And if you're going to continue to call everything like that, 190 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: do you make it seven fouls for fouling out eighth? 191 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: You gotta do something on one side of it. A 192 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: couple of phone calls here Caleb and Oregon, Hey Caleb, 193 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Dan up? Five ten, one, 194 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: nine nine. I just call him with the whole stride 195 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 1: fitment thing going on. I don't I don't think this justifies. 196 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: But his son did pass away a couple months ago, 197 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: so he's still, you know, most likely in a in 198 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: a pretty dark place right now, and so I think 199 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: that kind of sheds a little light into his mindset. 200 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: And I'm sure we'd all be in that same place 201 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: if you know, he's up in the loss of the 202 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 1: same thing. But Caleb, and thank you, And yes it 203 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: was brought up, but I wanted to have him on. 204 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: I didn't know if he was Obviously, you lose a child, 205 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: you're in a dark, dark place. But I just wanted 206 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 1: to see if it was real what he said to GQ, 207 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: like the context of what he said. I was just 208 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: trying to be fair to him, and I didn't know 209 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: if he wanted to clarify it because it just sort 210 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: of hung out there and everybody jumped on the alas 211 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: criticizing Kevin Durant. Kevin Durant's not a team player. To go, 212 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: are you guys crazy? Who gives a damn what Scottie 213 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 1: thinks of Kevin Durant. I mean he said Lebron's a 214 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: little bit better, he's a better team player. Like, what's 215 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: crazy about that? Is Lebron a better all around players? 216 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 1: Does he make others better? Yes, that's like controversial. Is 217 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: Kevin a great team player? Well, he doesn't have to 218 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: have the most shots. He's never had the most shots 219 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: in the league. Even when he led the league in scoring. 220 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: So Scotty can have his opinion. But when you have 221 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 1: an opinion on a coach who's one of the greatest, 222 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: if not the greatest of all time in the sport, 223 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: and you call him a racist, now we have a conversation. 224 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,839 Speaker 1: This is a topic here. And that's why I said 225 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: the media totally misread this, that they focused on Scottie. 226 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: Did you hear what he said about Charles Berkeley? Did 227 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: you hear what he had to say? You know about 228 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant and went Did you hear what he had 229 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: to say about Phil Jackson? He called him a racist? 230 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: And that's why I thought, okay, let me have him on. Now. 231 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: I know going through a divorce, loses a child, I 232 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: understand all of that. Hell, I was even thrown in 233 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: midlife crisis, like I didn't know, but I wanted to 234 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: at least ask the question. So instead of speculating, which 235 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: most of us do in the media, I want to do, 236 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: at least ask him. That's all. And whatever his answer was, 237 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: that's his answer. I'm trying to understand it, just like 238 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: I'm trying to understand why he loves Lebron and doesn't 239 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: like Katie like, Okay, it's his opinion. But when your 240 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: opinion labels Phil Jackson racist, that's heavy. That's heavy. I 241 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: just wanted more details, just to be fair to the 242 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: story and to be fair to Scottie, because I don't 243 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: know if he understood the magnitude of it. Maybe he does, 244 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: maybe he doesn't care. He said he doesn't have any 245 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: contact with Phil Jackson. Yeah, poem. It's funny if you listen. 246 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: Later in the interview, he goes, Dan, this is stuff 247 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: that happened twenty five years ago. I don't I'm not 248 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: bothered by it. I don't think about it. We get 249 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: along fine now. But it's almost like he was telling 250 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: us of what he thought at the time, and we 251 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: think he maybe he still thinks it's it doesn't match 252 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: to me sometimes. Yeah, but he was talking about him 253 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: and Michael. Yeah, we're fine now. I don't talk about it. 254 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: When he launched his bourbon, who shows up? Tony ku 255 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: coach shows up. So he doesn't have a problem with 256 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: Tony ku Coach. He has a problem with Phil Johnson. 257 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: All Right, we'll take a break.

When did you 297 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,239 Speaker 1: realize that what you were going to talk about on 298 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 1: Monday was going to change after the interview with Scottie Pippen. 299 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: Right after your interview was done, you know we obviously 300 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: were on this. As you joked yesterday, Dan, this is 301 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: a gift to Chicago Sports Radio, and so we thank 302 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: you for that. Personally Friday, we were all over at 303 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: too and the joke Wattle has always said to me, 304 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: you know, he's the former Bear, he's lived here forever, 305 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: so he's a Chicagoan, but he doesn't get what we 306 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: get for me as a sports fan, and that I 307 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: covered the last three Bulls Championships as a reporter, young 308 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: reporter down the dial, that I always get worked up 309 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 1: about Scottie. That a lot of the times I've defended Scottie, 310 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: I have fought for years on ESPN one thousand about 311 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: Scottie getting his due, that Scotti not being just the 312 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: top fifty player, but being the top thirty player, Scotty 313 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 1: being a revolutionary player. And then now all of a sudden, 314 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 1: I felt like a scorned lover. And I really it's 315 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: really broken my heart regarding all the bitterness that he 316 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: has shown, and your interview just took it to this 317 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: whole new level that GQ couldn't go, especially with the 318 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: way he was talking to you. But he believes what 319 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: he's saying, but nobody believes him right, right, And it's 320 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 1: kind of like a buddy Dan. We all have him, 321 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: we all know him that he says, Oh, this person 322 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: in my life sucks. This person in my life is 323 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 1: not loyal, this person in my life isn't good for business. 324 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: Well maybe if you've got all these people who are bad, 325 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 1: maybe it's you. Maybe you need to look in the mirror. 326 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 1: And I've always found it interesting. We know he hated Kraus, 327 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,959 Speaker 1: hated Krause, They didn't love Jerry ryans Or as the owner, 328 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: and he was the guy who signed the checks. But 329 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: we always thought they'd a bond with Michael and Scottie 330 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: and Phil, and that they were loyal together, even if 331 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 1: it was just with a common denominator of disliking management. 332 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: But now Scottie thinks that Michael's selfish and that Phil 333 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: was a racist. Who's left standing And maybe it's Scottie 334 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: that's the issue here. And I think it's sad. I 335 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: really like, he wants to sell bourbon and he wants 336 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: to sell books, but I just don't think that's a 337 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: reason to go and ruin the relationships of one of 338 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: the greatest teams of all time. Yeah, I was just 339 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: trying to understand the logic of all of this, and 340 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 1: I couldn't help but go back to April. Last April Sylvie, 341 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: and if that documentary doesn't come out, is Scottie Pippen 342 00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: saying what he's saying this week? It's funny because we 343 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: had a We had a great relationship with Jason Hair, 344 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: the director, and I know he reached out to Waddle yesterday. 345 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,199 Speaker 1: They knew each other from BC. Jason the director was 346 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: a BC ballboy, so he knew Waddle when he was 347 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: a player, and I think he felt a little guilty 348 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: it the way Scottie came across. And my whole rationale 349 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: has been the documentary didn't make Scotty look that way. 350 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: Scotty made himself look that way, just like Scottie made 351 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 1: himself look that way yesterday. There are so many great 352 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 1: things in Scottie Pippen's career, and I think, unlike others 353 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: from the nineties Dan where you see this new way 354 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: of playing basketball, I think the appreciation has grown for 355 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: Scottie through the years that we realized, Wow, this guy 356 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 1: was the first. This guy is exactly the way the 357 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: modern day basketball player was. But you know, I think 358 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: it's just an excuse. Going back to the documentary and 359 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: this whole notion that Michael commissioned. Did it? Michael got 360 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: the documentary he wanted. I'm a Michael fan. I covered Michael. 361 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: I think after watching all the episodes, we come away saying, boy, 362 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: Michael was kind of a bully. Michael could have been 363 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: a big jerk. Michael a lot of times was in 364 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: it for Michael. We still look at him highly, But 365 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: I don't think that the documentary was a fluff piece 366 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: to Michael Jordan, what was your show like yesterday with 367 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: local reaction? You know, it's it's full phones. Everyone wants 368 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: to talk about it. You know, we have we have 369 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: a hot baseball in town. The socks are good, the 370 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: Cubs are good. We got a justin fields. Finally, maybe 371 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: you'll have me on to talk about a quarterback that's good, 372 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 1: finally in Chicago. But but yeah, I mean this is 373 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: and like I reached out to Wilbon yesterday because I 374 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: think he feels like me, and he said, obviously being 375 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 1: in Phoenix, it's it doesn't resonate in Phoenix, but in Chicago. 376 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: Just like a year ago, Dan, when we're sitting in 377 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: the pandemic, and we're rehashing arguments that are twenty two 378 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: years old or twenty five years old. We're doing the 379 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: same thing a year later in twenty twenty one. It's 380 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: amazing and it's sad. I mean again, like the eighty 381 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: five Bears, Buddy Ryan and Mike Ditka hated each other, 382 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: and now maybe we're finding out that one of the 383 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: greatest all time American sports teams all hated each other. 384 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: But you're messing with a brand. That's what Scotti is doing. 385 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: You're you're you're messing with a scrapbook for people. And 386 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: I think that's what probably bothers fans is, no, we 387 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: choose to remember this team these moments like this, You 388 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 1: don't you don't you know, don't disrupt this. You know. 389 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden, we're looking in you know, 390 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 1: Michael is orchestrating Steve Kerr's last second shot against Utah, 391 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 1: and Phil wanted Tony in there because he's white to 392 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:56,199 Speaker 1: take the shot. And that's that's a lot. That's a 393 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: lot unpack. It's a lot to pack. And I couldn't believe, 394 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 1: like the film stuff, and they fought for Phil. All 395 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: they did was fight for fill and now twenty plus 396 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: years later, you're coming out. But the cur stuff, Dan, 397 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: the cur stuff, I don't understand how you orchestrate something. 398 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: All that is his game planning, you know what. Orchestrating 399 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,959 Speaker 1: a play, whether it's for the cameras or not. You 400 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: orchestrated a way to clinch your championship by finding Steve 401 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: Kerr for the open shot. So it wasn't about making 402 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: Michael look good. It was about winning that fifth title 403 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 1: at that time and setting Steve Kerr up for the 404 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: best shot, whether or not you know he was playing 405 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: to the cameras a little bit more. Look, we all 406 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,199 Speaker 1: know athletes. They even say it when they get miked up. 407 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: Sometimes miked up athletes are a little more outgoing. Or 408 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: we'll play to the cameras. Brady's done it, Russell Wilson's 409 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: done it, maybe with playing it up a little bit more. 410 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: But what did it lead to? It led to a 411 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: championship clinch shot that wasn't his. And I don't know 412 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: why Scotty could ever argue with that. Did anybody have 413 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: a problem with John Paxson chaking a shot against the 414 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns. I mean, now I go back and I 415 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: start to do inventory here, like, wait, who took the 416 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: last shot? Oh? John Packson, he's white, Like I mean crazy, 417 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 1: it's crazy. And Dan, there's like to the point about 418 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: the documentary and whether it was orchestrated. There's a very 419 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: famous moment from the Bulls Championship ninety one video, the 420 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: first championship against the Lakers. I'm a nerd like this. 421 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 1: I watched this video like a hundred times in college. 422 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: And Phil turns to Michael in the fourth quarter. He 423 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 1: goes Michael, who's open? And Michael didn't answer. Then he 424 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 1: repeated himself, Michael, who's open. He goes Packs, and he 425 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: goes give the ball to Packs, and Packs ended up 426 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: scoring ten or twelve points in the fourth quarter to 427 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 1: clinch Game five. They win their first championships. So you know, 428 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 1: I'm all four orchestrating championships. I think we could all 429 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: use more of those. How's your quarterback situation there, Sylvie? 430 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: I love it. Finally, I think I maybe have a 431 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: quarterback that we can all love together. Like Cutler. Pippin 432 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: is similar to Cutler. They're they're both is polarizing as 433 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: they come. So Jay, if you go in Chicago and 434 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,719 Speaker 1: you ask one hundred people. Did you love Cutler? Did 435 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 1: you hate Cutler? You're gonna get a fifty fifty split. 436 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: Another one of these sports radio things that if we 437 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: open up the phone lines would go crazy. The only 438 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: problem I have with Mett Maggie is he's not giving 439 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: the opportunity of Justin Fields to win the job. I 440 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 1: didn't like that he said, no, Justin Fields has no chance. 441 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: I get it, it's hard and maybe he can't win 442 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: the job right away, and that Andy Dalton is better 443 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: from the start, but give the kid a chance to 444 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: win it. And I think you're limiting yourself by saying 445 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 1: he can't win the job. Glad you're doing better. My 446 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: best to waddle there and thanks for joining us. You 447 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 1: got it, Dan, Thanks for having me appreciate you and 448 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 1: you're welcome for yesterday. Thank you again, We've always appreciated. Yes. 449 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: That's Mark Silverman, Sylvie and Waddle ESPN one thousand in Chicago. 450 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: Cody in Texas, Hi Cody, what's on your mind today? Hey? Dan? 451 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: Thanks for taking my call. I just after listening to 452 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: the the interview yesterday, I thought it was so interesting 453 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: that the same night, you know, very serendipitously we have 454 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: Paul George who is pretty much playing as Scottie pippen 455 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 1: Roll on the team, who's being ostracized for almost two 456 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: years about playoff feed and he goes out and scored 457 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: forty one points. And all these older players, you know, 458 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: seem to talk about that. You know, it's a different 459 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: league and they a lot of these players would have 460 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: had a tough time in their league. And if I 461 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: could have talked to Scottie, I would just want to 462 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: ask him, hey, be could you handle being under the 463 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 1: microscope the way these players are with social media in 464 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,919 Speaker 1: the modern era? And thanks for taking my call, Dan, 465 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,439 Speaker 1: I hope you have a good day, all right, Cody, 466 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah. I don't know the answer to it. 467 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: But they were in the spotlight. We just didn't have 468 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: social media, but the Bulls were. I'm trying to think 469 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: if there was another team that you wanted to see, 470 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: even if they were going to come in and beat 471 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 1: your team. And I truly believe that during the regular 472 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: season there was this fascination with the Chicago Bulls when 473 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: you had Rodman and you had Michael y d Phil like, 474 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: you know you're gonna lose, it's we want to see 475 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: a show, you know when we lose, and it never 476 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 1: felt like you hated the Bulls. You know, the twenty 477 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 1: fifteen Warriors had a fascination about them as well. The 478 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: eighties Lakers had a fascinating like you were seeing something 479 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 1: and you know, I'm trying to think how many how 480 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,959 Speaker 1: many sports teams in history were they this fashion. I'm 481 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: going to guess Babe Ruth and the Yankees, maybe the 482 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 1: late nineties Yankees where you were getting to see future 483 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: Hall of Famers star power that you you went out 484 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 1: to see them play because the Bulls were like that. 485 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: The Bulls were a fascinating draw on the road and 486 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: you knew the result. The question is how much were 487 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna lose by? Is gonna be nine, it's gonna 488 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: be fifteen. We're gonna lose, But maybe Michael Will posterized somebody. Yeah, 489 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:32,199 Speaker 1: seton maybe the Heat with Dwayne Wade and Lebron No, 490 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: because Lebron joined and made him a super team, and 491 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: I think people had a problem with that that Like 492 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: when Durant joined the Warriors, we weren't as fascinated with them. 493 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: You know, when it was Draymond and it was Steph 494 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: and it was Clay. We're like, oh, yeah, they drafted 495 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: all of those guys. Miami was like, yeah, Lebron had 496 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: to join, you know, Chris Bosh, they had to join 497 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 1: the Miami Heat. Yeah, I'm the club. I have a 498 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: random one. No's a hot ticket. Was a very early 499 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: shock when he first came the NBA. We all wanted 500 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: to go see this guy play. You can go back 501 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: to Penny Hardaway too, that that was those two together 502 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: and it didn't last long, but that could have been 503 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: a fascinating duel. You know, Penny got hurt, but boy, 504 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: they could They could have changed the NBA too. Yeah. 505 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: I remember as a kid the Dallas Cowboys, and I 506 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: think everybody remembers that Dallas Cowboys felt like I hated 507 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: the Cowboy, not hate or like they were a brand 508 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: and they were stars, like Roger Stauback was a super sea. 509 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: But I didn't want to see you unless I was 510 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: seeing you lose. Well, the Bears played the Cowboys at 511 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: home in like the early eighties, and I remember there's 512 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: no way to get a ticket because it was the 513 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: Cowboys coming to town. Or Pittsburgh Steelers with Harris and 514 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: Swan and Stalworth and Bradgaw. They felt like household names. 515 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: Terry Bradshaw was in Burt Reynolds movies. Those guys were 516 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: household names. Yeah, but I just think there's Steeler fans 517 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: and Packer fans and cowboy fans all over the United States. 518 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: They're already going to be at the game. There are 519 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: times when you could go to a game and you go, 520 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: who's the home team here? Because Pittsburgh Steeler fans travel. 521 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: But that didn't mean when they came into Cincinnati that 522 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: I didn't go, I hope the Bengals beat him, but 523 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: they don't have any I didn't go, boy, can't wait 524 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: to see Bradshaw throw three touchdown passes. It was like, 525 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: I hope they knock him out. But the Bulls were different. Yeah, 526 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: they just were uh tye in Louisiana High Tie, what's 527 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: on your mind? Hey? Dan? What's up? Hey? But I 528 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: am as excided as Bobby Bouche calling in to talk 529 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: to captain and say, oh, all right, but I have 530 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: a worse Uh. Since we're all nicknames about playoffs, T 531 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: is when George Castanza gave him the nick himself, the 532 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: nickname T Ball. Okay, all right, well thank you Tye. Yeah, wow, Hey, 533 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: I was thinking like mister inconsistency as a nickname, thank you. 534 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: You know that would be good. You don't have to 535 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: live up to expectations, no pressure. Yeah, they you know, 536 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: they just just like, hey, what's your nickname, mister inconsistency, Paul, 537 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: mister inconsistency patter you go, Yeah, you're nine in the lineup. Yeah, 538 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 1: there's no expectations there, yes, time and if you have 539 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: to have a good day, you're expected to have a 540 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: kremy day the next consistent. Hey, there's no guarantee tomorrow. 541 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: I was decent today, may not be that good tomorrow. 542 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: Luke in Pennsylvania, Hi, Luke, Hi Um. I'm eleven. My 543 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: name's Luke. I'm five foot and I'm ninety five pounds, 544 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: solid muscle. I like it. Um So I have a question. 545 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: What's your opinion on Bryce Harper and the style he 546 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: plays and like why he's always hurt? Um? Well, thank you, Luke. Um. 547 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: Probably with the style that he plays is why he's 548 00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: always hurt. You know that fascination with Bryce Harper, it 549 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,719 Speaker 1: didn't go to another level. He got that new contract 550 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: when he left the Nationals. But I don't I don't 551 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: know if he's must see TV the way he was 552 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: with the Nationals, because if it felt like there was 553 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: something like you got to watch this guy. I remember, 554 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: I'd get into arguments, not discussions. I should say, you know, 555 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: why you think Mike Trout's better than Bryce Harper? And 556 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: I go, yes, yeah, But you know Bryce's got charisma, 557 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: I said, okay, and he's got style. And I go, okay, 558 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: if that's what you want on your team, then Bryce 559 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: Harper's for you. But I'll take Mike Trout. And you know, 560 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 1: he signs that contract. And while I look at that 561 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: contract in the moment, I went, well, that's a lot 562 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: of money for Bryce Harper in a long period of time. 563 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: He's twenty eight, and that contract may turn out to 564 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: be team friendly. We may look at that and go, oh, 565 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: they got him for that. I mean, Mike Trout, I 566 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: think the Angels are on the book for four hundred 567 00:32:55,440 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 1: and thirty million dollars, okay, And I guess he earns 568 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: every bit of it. I mean he's top five MVP, 569 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: But like, how do you earn four hundred and thirty 570 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: million dollars by just putting up good numbers? Shoheyo, Tani 571 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 1: is going to whatever he gets after next year he's 572 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 1: a free agent. What's shoheyo Tani going to be worth? 573 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: Because that is a let's go out and see him. 574 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: Let's go out to batting practice and watch. Let's hey 575 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 1: he's pitching to hey, he's not pitching, He's only hitting tonight. 576 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: How many guys are like that? Tattoos is like that? Thank? 577 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 1: Do you have five seven? You know? Can you put 578 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: Vlad Guerrero in there? You know? A Kunya like? I don't. 579 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. There aren't that many players that you go, 580 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: I'm going to tune in to watch that guy. Yeah, Polly. 581 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: Bryce Harper as Phillies contract as Bryce Harper friendly. He 582 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: hasn't made an All Star team since he joined the Phillies. 583 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: I know he's injured, but he wasn't injured his first 584 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: year with the Phillies when he hit two sixty UM. 585 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 1: He hasn't been a top five MVP candidate since two 586 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 1: thousand and fifteen he was twenty two years old. Then 587 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: he is an average and we player again. I know 588 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 1: there's a lot of health concerns, but now he's well 589 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 1: above an average MLB player in what way dude, they 590 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 1: maybe fourteen games above first place if they didn't have 591 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 1: the worst bullpen in the history of the sport. He 592 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: hits two seventy one and he's got ten home runs. 593 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: So yeah, this year he hurt his back, but he's 594 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 1: been His war is pretty high. He hit two sixty 595 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:33,359 Speaker 1: eight with thirteen home runs last year. He's a He 596 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: doesn't hit for average, he hits for decent power. I 597 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 1: don't know, I mean, unless there's something missing, Nick Love, 598 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:41,959 Speaker 1: and you have to admit that there's a lot more 599 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,800 Speaker 1: style than substance with Bryce Harper the past few years. 600 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: There there's always it's style. You know that Mayor and 601 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 1: the whole thing. Oh yeah, but you know that meme 602 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,880 Speaker 1: with a dog and the fire. That's Bryce Harper in 603 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,400 Speaker 1: the Phillies right now, they're they're having huge meltdown, like 604 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 1: they want to fire the manager, but he hasn't had 605 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 1: a guy on base and about months. They have a 606 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,839 Speaker 1: lot of problems. Bryce Harper is never considered one of them. 607 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: He chose to go there. Yeah, no, I know, but 608 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: they just they have these weird things going on that 609 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: like kind of out of control. The whole team is. 610 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, it's like a state of fire right there, 611 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,839 Speaker 1: and like Harper is only one of many. Well, why 612 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: is it that the Angels aren't very good consistently but 613 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 1: Mike Trout is really good consistently. Well yeah, I mean 614 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 1: he's a better player, of course. I mean there's no 615 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: doubt about it. Now. Okay, but this was this used 616 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 1: to be a discussion here. Yeah, Bryce Harper has more 617 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,839 Speaker 1: style than substance there. That kid was right too, Bryce 618 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,880 Speaker 1: Harper can't stay healthy. There's something going on there, but 619 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,319 Speaker 1: nobody stays healthy. The Trout's out for six months and yeah, 620 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: you'll probably still finish in the top five second everything. 621 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 1: By the way, that being as good as Mike Trout, 622 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: that's that's not the worst a tight man. That's pretty good, 623 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: I know. But people get caught up in how you 624 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 1: do it, not not exactly what you're doing, but how 625 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 1: you're doing it. Like, man, that guy is exciting. Yes, 626 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,719 Speaker 1: there are guys who are exciting, but that doesn't mean 627 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: they're better than guys who aren't as exciting. Shoheyutani to 628 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: me is exciting because that those home runs sound different, 629 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,280 Speaker 1: the fact that he's pitching. You're seeing somebody that size, 630 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 1: that speed. I mean, we think Mike Trout is, you know, 631 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: an anomaly here. It's like he's a unicorn Shoeheyutani is 632 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: the unicorn. I can tell you why they're both exciting, 633 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna tell you after the break. Wow, that's 634 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,439 Speaker 1: a tease. And we got a limerick coming up. That's 635 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff to Ton has got a limerick 636 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 1: based off last night's Clippers Son's game.

It 679 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 1: sound like a dark comedy, you know, as sometimes you 680 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 1: see one of the dark counties and stays in my 681 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 1: head from all night.

Like how many times in 685 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 1: the in the show's history have you said to me, hey, 686 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,439 Speaker 1: great show? Rarely? And what I did was usually after 687 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: you set something talking about you to me, and that 688 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,399 Speaker 1: I felt the need to follow up with something bad. 689 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 1: Did you say good job with the Pippin interview yesterday. 690 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 1: I did, I don't. I don't think I said. I'm 691 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,359 Speaker 1: pretty sure I did. I know I did. I didn't 692 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 1: say it in those words. I didn't say, like good job. 693 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 1: With the Scottie Pippen interview. There was some kind of 694 00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 1: chemistry there, maybe maybe a nod and a wink or something, 695 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 1: but I don't know there were some kind of acknowledgement 696 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,839 Speaker 1: when you came out to drive. Because it's not true. 697 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,880 Speaker 1: I know I said something I don't remember exactly say 698 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,799 Speaker 1: that's just mean, because that's not that's not fair. Well, 699 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,279 Speaker 1: based on your history of nineteen years together, and I'm 700 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:19,000 Speaker 1: gonna guess less than ten times you've said, hey, great show. 701 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 1: That's what happens. You're a victim of your own success. 702 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,360 Speaker 1: It's expected, you know. So, you're the best booker in 703 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 1: the business. Should I ever, should I say anything? You're 704 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,480 Speaker 1: the best booker in the business, right I shouldn't say anything. 705 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:30,880 Speaker 1: Whatever I may or may not have said to you 706 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 1: yesterday probably came after you said good job, Getty's got 707 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 1: a pipot of the show, and then I thought they 708 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,160 Speaker 1: need to serve one back to you. You you gave 709 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,640 Speaker 1: me a nod very pony. Is that what it is? 710 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,799 Speaker 1: There was a wink and a wink and a nod 711 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,719 Speaker 1: a tip of my cap and I said, yeah, there 712 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,719 Speaker 1: you go. Sound right there? A wink and a nod 713 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 1: and I should drop that down. My name is Todd. 714 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,439 Speaker 1: I could we can do that? Right? No? I think 715 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:58,720 Speaker 1: there's an album by is it Rod Stewart or Faces? 716 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,640 Speaker 1: A wink is as good as a nod to a 717 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: blind man? I think that's I think that's the name 718 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:06,920 Speaker 1: of the album. A winks as good as a nod 719 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 1: to a blind man? Genius? Thank you? Ton? Uh? Did 720 00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,719 Speaker 1: you have something McLevin that you were going to invent? 721 00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:14,239 Speaker 1: I gave you that left already gave it to you. 722 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,520 Speaker 1: But I'm miserable right now. How am I stuck defending 723 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,399 Speaker 1: Bryce Harper? That's a caller's fault. How did that guy 724 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:23,799 Speaker 1: get through? He joined your team? I know, but now 725 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 1: that you're right, the numbers aren't great, but I feel 726 00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,279 Speaker 1: like I have to defend him. I feel like, you 727 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,280 Speaker 1: know how when you guys on your team. Well, speaking 728 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:35,320 Speaker 1: of left handers, Ben Simmons, he I do not defend, 729 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,280 Speaker 1: do you really? Because he's a right hander. Left handers 730 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:43,000 Speaker 1: when they shoot always look more pure than a right 731 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:47,400 Speaker 1: handed shooter, just something about it. Ben Simmons is putting 732 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 1: that to the test. Like you can just see certain 733 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,719 Speaker 1: left handers and you go, man, that looks pretty coming 734 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 1: out of their hand. But with Ben Simmons, if he 735 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: goes right handed, then you know that'll take him out 736 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,719 Speaker 1: of this whole left handed equation. Yes, we have good news. 737 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 1: Apparently the Timberwolves won him badly. I saw the report 738 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:09,480 Speaker 1: where somebody said, reaching out to a source with the Timberwolves, 739 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 1: they say, how bad do you want Ben Zimmons badly? 740 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 1: I thought that that might describe his shooting. How's he 741 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:22,800 Speaker 1: shooting badly? Yea Simmons not playing the Olympics for Australia. Yeah, 742 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,719 Speaker 1: wouldn't that be they said, He's doing a week at 743 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:26,279 Speaker 1: work on the game. Wouldn't it be great for him 744 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 1: to be the alpha for the Australian basketball team and 745 00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:30,880 Speaker 1: spend the whole summer as a focal point of a 746 00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 1: team where he has to be the man. Yes, I 747 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,360 Speaker 1: would think that would be good training. That's what I thought, 748 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 1: that you get your confidence by being the go to 749 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:42,759 Speaker 1: guy for the Australian Olympic team. That is unless he's 750 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,759 Speaker 1: not going to be the best player. McCloughan.
