Also Jamal Crawford, Turner's Sports 0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:19.040 will join us. He's been working out Victor Weimbanyama. I 0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:22.320 was surprised at that, Marvin Goes. I got some social 0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:25.840 media pictures where Jamal Crawford's working out with the Victor. 0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:28.240 I go, let's get him on the show, so he'll 0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:31.760 join us. Coming up here in a little bit. Celtics 0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:33.920 prede is set for Friday.

And the passing of the Giants 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:43.080 Hall of Famer Willie Mays at the age of ninety three. 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:47.640 It's strange to say somebody is far greater than legendary, 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:51.080 and to me, Willy Mays was not legendary. He was iconic. 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:53.640 And there's a difference in that there's certain athletes in 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:56.840 certain sports. You can have a legendary career or you 0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:59.639 can have an iconic career. And Willie Mays, as we've 0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:02.840 talked to throughout the show, had an iconic career. It 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:06.600 wasn't just he was a spectacular baseball player. Was he 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:09.200 was bigger than just being a great baseball player. And 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:11.920 he came in four years after Jackie Robinson broke the 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:15.840 color barrier. Willie did get some exposure in New York 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:17.520 with the New York Giants and then went to San 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:21.440 Francisco and played in that god awful Candlestick Park, the 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:26.240 windy Candlestick Park. Once again, greatest centerfielder ever, And you 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.240 factor in the winds and Candlestick and he was still 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:32.640 the greatest center fielder ever. Not to mention three hundred 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.520 stolen bases, six hundred and sixty home runs and batted 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:39.479 three hundred the greatest all around player in baseball history. 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.319 Today's Mercedes Benz Interview the Day brought to you by 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:46.399 Mercedes Benz Luxury SUVs.

Or 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:05.040 do you passed now that you're the Arkansas head coach, 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.600 You're you're fine with it? Sounds sounds comfortable. 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:12.480 No, it's comfortable. Look here's I've been at different jobs, 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:16.840 you know. I was at UMass eight years, Memphis nine years, 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:23.480 fifteen years at Kentucky. It's dog years now, and I 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.280 loved it. And it was a great run. We helped 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:29.240 a lot of families, won a lot of games, won 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:33.760 a lot of league championships, final fours, Elite eights, national titles. Switching, 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.440 I mean they needed to hear another voice. I wasn't 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:41.000 planning on this, but when it came along, kind of 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:44.200 like being a ESPN and then other opportunities come along 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.040 and you say, wait a minute, I got to take 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:49.679 advantage of this. Now, let me look. And over a 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:53.760 two or three day period, I'm like, they're in the SEC. Two. 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.920 They got great facilities, they have a great fan base, 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:03.119 a great building that seats twenty thousand, great home court, 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:06.560 pretty good support as you would know in this corner 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:10.880 of Arkansas. The what's here? And then lastly, I got 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:12.800 to hire my son. Now he's not one of my 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:16.080 top three guys, but he's in. He's on court. He 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:19.600 can go out and recruit a little bit and get started, 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.639 and so a lot of good reasons and I'm excited 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:26.320 about it. Let me help another thirty forty families. Then 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.880 I'll go into doing a podcast. How about we do that? 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.240 But did you did you jump before you were pushed? 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.280 Can Can we be fair about the situation at Kentucky? 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.760 Yeah? I don't. I don't think that was the case. 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:44.160 But and again, it had nothing to do with fans. 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:48.160 Fans you go to a nick game and they're playing bad, 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:51.040 what are they doing in the second quarter they're doing 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:57.360 I mean, fans are fans. Kentucky fans are engaged. They 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:01.040 were exactly what you want in a fan. You lose 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.240 a game you're not supposed to lose, and they're still engaged. 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.040 So it had nothing to do with that. For me 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.600 to do what I'm doing, I needed that tailwind, no headwinds. 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:12.880 We needed to be able to move in what we 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:17.240 were doing. And you know, as far as saying, well 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.400 they pushed you out, no, I don't think that was 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:24.240 the case. But again, let it be good for both. 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:28.120 I mean, I had fifteen great years there. Let Mark 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:31.520 Pope have fifteen great years. Let me finish how I 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.840 want to finish. Let me build another program. Let's win 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:40.159 another national championship. Let's help another twenty five families. Let 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:43.960 me let me do this and you can. You and 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:47.479 I've been when you didn't have gray hair. But we've 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:51.039 been doing this a long time. And whether I was 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.960 at UMass you and I you came in and miss 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:57.960 jump shots, whether I was at Memphis and we were 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.680 doing this in Kentucky over the years, I don't know. 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:04.719 When I was with the Nets, did we do anything? Yes, 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:08.200 oh we did. Yeah, it was after I got fired. 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:09.280 Me. 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:11.360 How do you feel now? 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.960 I think I ask you why Kerry Kittles and not 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:15.760 Kobe Bryant? 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.839 Yeah you did that? You didn't that for twenty five years? 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:24.440 Okay, how does Arkansas know you're available? If you're happy 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:25.120 at Kentucky. 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:31.080 A good friend of mine, John Tyson, he and I've 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:36.400 been friends for twenty years. Tyson Chicken, Yeah, twenty years, 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.839 twenty five years. Maybe tried to get me to take 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.239 the job when I was in Memphis in two thousand 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:49.520 and seven. Maybe, And at that time, Dan, if I left, 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:55.200 I left players like they were there, and my assistant 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:58.440 wasn't going to get the job. I wasn't comfortable just 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:03.239 leaving and that was Derek Antonio Anderson, Chris Douglas, Robert 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:07.480 Robert Dozer, Joey Dorsey. I can go on the guys 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:11.120 that I would have left. So he calls me on 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:16.640 a Thursday night. I'm at the Final four and he said, cow, 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.840 it's Johnny and I said what's up? And he said, 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:24.640 I need you to meet with the AD And I 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:27.880 said what ad? They said, our a d at Arkansas. 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:31.320 And I said, okay, what are we meeting about. Well, 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:34.039 he wants to talk to you about candidates and the 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.640 job and what he's trying to do, and why don't 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.200 you meet with him? I said, okay, but I'm leaving 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:42.200 town at one o'clock on Friday, So we got to 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:45.920 meet at eleven eleven thirty and I'll give him an hour. Well, 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:49.160 in the conversation, you can imagine if you think this 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.480 is such a great job, why not you? And he said, 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:56.160 give me fifteen minutes to talk about you. And then 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:57.920 I looked at my watch and I said, I got 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:01.279 to go. I got a guy downstairs who I'm flying 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:05.160 with and I got to get down there. And he said, well, 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.400 I'm not going to do anything till you tell me now, 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:10.200 and then we spent two days and I'll give you 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:17.240 the conversation that change me. Kelvin Sampson and I've been 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:21.280 friends for a long long time. I called Calvin to 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:27.160 check on Hunter, the ad who had been at Houston 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:30.240 with him. Well, he went crazy. I love him, He's 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.840 the best, He's this, he's at Okay, okay, but I'm 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.800 having a hard time because I'm gonna end up leaving players. 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:42.440 And Calvin went crazy, what if you leave, they can leave, 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.440 they can go where they want. They can go with you, 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:48.720 they can go pro. What are you talking about. This 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.920 isn't ten years ago? And then he said the one 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:56.080 that got me, And if you stay, they can leave, 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:59.200 they can go somewhere else, they can go pro. This 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:02.880 is different. And you know what, that got me to 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:06.640 think in a different way. And within thirty six hours, 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.760 I said, you know what, I want this new challenge. 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.920 I want to help a bunch of families. I want 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:17.920 to bring something to that state and that program that 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:22.520 explodes the state, and let's go. Let's go do this. 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:27.920 Okay, Your recruiting philosophy at Kentucky was well known. Your 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:31.040 recruiting philosophy at Arkansas is going to be what. 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:40.000 I can't take seven freshmen until these rules change. Last 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:44.840 year our team was average age was nineteen four. The 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:48.560 team we played against and teams we played against were 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:53.600 twenty four twenty three. We played against twenty six year olds, 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:58.160 so that's nineteen as a freshman. He's twenty six. So 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:03.480 I am still going to recruit the best freshmen. Probably 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:07.400 take three or four, not seven. I can't take that many. 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:12.520 You would hope a couple kids will stay and I'll 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:16.120 bring in a couple transfers that are a little bit older. 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:21.839 I don't want to have twelve guys you know who. 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:26.040 I'm doing this like back in the day, a guy 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:33.240 named Coach Smith, Dean Smith back in the day recruited 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:41.360 for ten eleven and twelve, recruited specifically for that spot. Now, 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.440 there may be injuries, the guy may be better than 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.120 everybody thought, he may beat somebody else, but he's being 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:51.559 recruited for ten eleven and twelve. I want eight or 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:55.839 nine guys on scholarship, and il all that, and then 0:09:55.880 --> 0:10:01.040 I want ten eleven twelve. We got nine on scholarship. 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:05.720 We're adding ten eleven twelve and they'll be good players, 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:09.600 but they're not going to be, but it doesn't mean 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:13.679 they can't beat somebody out. It's just I'm doing it 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:18.200 kind of like North Carolina in the segment. Should I 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.719 say seventy five eighty eight, Well, he was there till 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:22.920 ninety he was doing it most of his career. 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:27.280 Yeah, he's the Arkansas head coach, John Caliperry. Can I 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:28.400 have your Kentucky. 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.800 Am You have to say that now, because they don't 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:32.040 have anyone who I am. 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:34.760 I know Arkansas head coach. He used to coach at Kentucky. 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:37.440 Let me tell everybody, I'm here with Dan Patrick. You 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.040 may not know him, but you're here with Dan Patty. 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.480 We're both Hall of Famers coach, We're both we're both 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:44.680 Hall of famers. All right, Can I have your Kentucky gear? 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:51.840 It's gone already, Wait yard sale, come on, tag sail. 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:57.199 Well it was in mass I sold No, I sold it. 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:00.360 I just threw it in my house on I been 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.480 on couches and all my friends and their kids came 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:06.840 over and take what you want. The best items were 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:10.640 the Kentucky shoes that had UK on them. Gone. Gave 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:11.440 a great there. 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.720 Come on, I could have put out in the man cave. 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:18.400 No, no, no, I got it's gone. It's it's uh. 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:20.520 Why don't you help my family? You're always talking about 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:23.400 helping others other families, What about mine? Why don't you 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:24.280 help my family? 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:24.679 Helped you? 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:29.200 Well, I paid you to come to us, and so 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.200 I put I put on an aerial display, and your 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:35.760 you just can't acknowledge it. It's okay, Clark Kellogg was there. 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:39.280 Clark Kellogg is a religious man who never lies, and 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.880 he'll tell you the truth what happened that day. Okay, 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:47.920 So go here, go ahead, go ahead, mock me, go live, 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:53.480 living in denial, living in denial. Yeah, that's what you're doing. Okay. 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:57.400 When Dan Hurley is entertaining the Lakers and vice versa, 0:11:57.720 --> 0:11:58.600 your thought was. 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:04.120 I really like Danny, so I wanted what he wanted 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:09.160 for he and his family. But he's in an unbelievable 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:15.400 spot and he has a chance to keep that going. 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:20.920 The only thing I thought that maybe play a part 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:24.840 is in college basketball, at the end of every year, 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:29.800 every kid is a free agent. Everyone. This is like 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.000 being an NBA coach. Your season ends, you don't have 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:35.520 anybody in the contract. They're all able to go and 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.920 go and do what they want and then the nil 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:43.280 knowing how that's playing out, and Danny, I know, And 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:45.439 it was funny because Danny said, man quit wine and 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:48.520 we're all making all this money. I'm more where. I'm 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:52.280 fine here at Arkansas. But what if I were at UMass. 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.440 What if Danny was still at Rhode Island, He'd be 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:59.640 saying that, like to get guys to stay. So that 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:03.680 would have been the only reason that I thought he 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:05.680 would say. You know what, I don't want to deal 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:09.360 with this. Some guys have retired. I'm just trying to 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:12.199 be the best at this situation. The playpen we're in. 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.160 How do we have the best toys? I mean, that's 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:19.520 it isn't what I'd want, more guardrails, you know, I 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:22.200 want kids to make money. You know high that is. 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:26.000 But it's like, Okay, let's get it organized. Let's get organized, 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:31.560 let's get guardrails. Let's figure out how this we don't 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:33.559 hurt kids by what we're doing. 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:37.800 Well, I wonder if we can get to a point 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.360 where you sign a two year deal to go to college, 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:44.280 and can can can we do something that like nil 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:47.600 deals that your contract is for two years, or like, 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:50.840 is there any give me a solution? You know, you're saying, 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:52.480 let's solve it, give me a solution. 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:56.040 First of all, I've been saying for five years. 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:01.520 Now you're putting up ten fingers. That's ten. There you go, 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:03.680 that's fine. That's FI. 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:11.240 Five Pittsburgh five years to play, Yins, five years to 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:15.720 play four, five years to play four. Which is the 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.200 way it was when you played back in the forties. 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:19.800 I mean, you had. 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.760 Five years to play for If you got injured, you 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:24.920 got an extra year. If you got red shirted, you 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.600 got an extra year. What if you got hurt three 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:30.120 different years? Buzzard luck, my man. I don't know what 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:33.920 to tell you. This is amateur basketball right now. They 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:37.560 just cleared Danza a player to play football for his 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:41.280 ninth year. So I'm playing in a game last year 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.240 where the guy making the shots is twenty six years old. 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:46.920 Should have been out of school three years maybe four. 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:51.200 So let's get back. We can do that now. They said, well, 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:55.360 COVID and all stop. You're giving waivers to everybody five 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:59.960 years to play four. Solved sixty seventy percent of our problem. 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:02.240 You know what would have solved the problem is somebody 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:04.120 guarded that guy during. 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:09.640 The true made fo shots and all that, Yeah, let's 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:11.960 not go back to that because I'm still sick over CoA. 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:16.840 She's all I told Hunter the ad here. You know, 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:19.400 I'm still hacked off over that game, he said. And 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:22.440 I'm not happy, he said, Well, I'm happy. I'm happy 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:25.680 it happened, you know. So but anyway, there's people look 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:27.120 at Oakland's happy it happened. 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:27.480 Yeah. 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.240 It's the other thing. If you stay at the same 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:35.440 school four years, you get a fifth year. So now 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.600 it rewards that. The guys that say, I'm deciding. 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:40.560 Okay, if that kid at Oakland still had another year 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:43.400 of eligibility, would you reach out to him to add 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:44.680 him to Arkansas? 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:50.960 I wouldn't do that to my good friend. Oh you know, 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:54.760 I'm not reaching out and doing that stuff. But he look, 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.520 and I don't begrudge a kid to take advantage of 0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:00.080 the rules. He should have been playing because he was 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.160 allowed to play. But it wasn't just him. 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:05.520 There were Well, by the way, he was twenty four, Coach, 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:08.560 you said twenty six, So. 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:10.160 Who's in your ear? Because you wouldn't. 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:17.280 I just googled it, so Jack, Yeah, yeah, okay, but again, 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:20.040 shooters no shooters, So that's why you didn't know him. 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:23.960 That's why you did not know him, Like who's hey, 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:25.280 who's that guy out there? 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:28.360 I wouldn't say you just so you know. 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:29.240 No, no, no, no. 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:31.960 If they came to me and said I need you 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:33.840 to take a look at him, I already have and 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:36.160 don't tell me to look more at him. I understand. 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:38.760 I saw him shoot three airballs, and you were telling 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:39.760 me he's a shoot. 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:43.840 Once again, that's lying. See now, anything you say I 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:47.240 have to go, he's he lies. He lied about the 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:50.640 guy at Oakland Jack, who's twenty twenty four, twenty six. 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:53.240 See once again, these things hurt you. I'm trying to 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:56.080 help your credibility. Here, tell the truth, free your mind 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:57.520 and the resk.

Now 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:10.600 that they've gone to where they are, how do you 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:13.159 reel it back in? I don't have the answer. How 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:14.920 do you say, well, we're not going to do as 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:17.280 much or you got to sign a two year deal. 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:20.560 I don't have that answer. But I do know five 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:24.000 to play fours the first and it's a solution that 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:24.960 you can do. 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:28.320 Did you change your number because I was on vacation 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.720 in Italy, and I say, I leave the country and 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:34.679 you leave Kentucky and then I never hear from you. 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:37.280 Did you change your number?

So Jamal Crawford joining us on the program, 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:51.840 Good morning, Thanks for joining us. How did this happen 0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:53.800 with you and Victor working out together? 0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:58.600 Well, we go back to earlier this season when we 0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:01.320 had him on the show and I asked him you know, 0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:03.480 because he'd been doing some crazy moves. So I asked 0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:06.200 him about, you know, if he could do this particular 0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:09.720 move and he's like, yeah, I've been doing that for years. 0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:12.439 I'm like here, okay, And then we looked up at 0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:14.840 All Star and I just showed him some freestyle moves 0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:16.720 and from there our relationship kind. 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:17.000 Of took off. 0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:18.920 Wait what did you show him? 0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:23.400 Well, I showed him, you know, a wrap around move 0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:25.320 where he wraps around his body. It's only reserved for 0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:26.000 tall guards. 0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:26.520 Damn. 0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:28.920 You know, guys with long arms that could pull this off. 0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:31.320 And I thought he could take it to the next level. 0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:33.520 But it was funny when I started showing him all 0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:35.919 the other rookie sophomores on the court, all the attention, 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:36.639 they stopped shooting. 0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:37.400 They just went over there. 0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:40.160 I'm like, okay, let's just keep this surface level because 0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:41.239 everybody's watching right now. 0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:46.359 I kept maintaining during the season he needed a point 0:21:46.359 --> 0:21:49.280 guard to put him in positions. I get felt like 0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:51.639 in the first half of the season he'd get lost 0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:54.199 out there, he'd be out of position, he'd get bodied 0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:58.200 out of position. But can the Spurs get that point 0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:01.320 guard to help him? Because that feels like that's the 0:22:01.359 --> 0:22:02.640 next step in his evolution. 0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:05.840 They absolutely can, and I could see why it would 0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:07.960 take a little bit because he's such a unique talent 0:22:08.080 --> 0:22:10.040 and you can use him so many different places on 0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:11.680 the court, right Like, you can use him bring it 0:22:11.760 --> 0:22:13.520 up the ball, you can use them in the mid 0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:15.200 post area, you can use them in the post serie. 0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:18.159 He can shoot transition threes and do everything in between. 0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:21.560 So I understand popping those guys. That's thinking because you 0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:23.760 just don't know exactly what you have until you have it, 0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:26.480 and even then he can kind of stretch the imagination. 0:22:26.600 --> 0:22:29.080 But you're right, Getting that point guard to kind of 0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:32.320
