Speaker 1: Sports Radio.

Speaker 2: and the temperature swing is unbelievable. We get here upper
Speaker 2: thirties to start the morning at around four thirty four
Speaker 2: to forty five. It'll probably be in the eighties in
Speaker 2: about three hours from now. But another gorgeous day and
Speaker 2: proud to be here. American Century Golf Tournament and among
Speaker 2: the luminaries stopping by, Jerome bettis grand Hill, Bence Carter,
Speaker 2: Matt Ryan, the Miz. The wrestler is going to stop by,

Speaker 2: Eight seven seven three D Show operator Tyler is sitting by.
Speaker 2: He'll take your phone calls. Summer League. It starts tonight
Speaker 2: and it's Cooper Flag and Marvin just told me the
Speaker 2: tickets are going for twenty five hundred dollars to see
Speaker 2: Cooper Flag.
Speaker 3: So I'm hearing that resale price. I'm on a ticket
Speaker 3: website right now. It says nine hundred and ninety nine dollars.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm seeing is the highest right now. Okay,
Speaker 3: on a ticket website. Okay, Paul, he's not buying this.
Speaker 4: Now buying it.
Speaker 5: I saw this headline the other day and it felt
Speaker 5: like a boosted up headline, not real what the ticket
Speaker 5: prices are.
Speaker 4: Well, he's also going against Brownie.
Speaker 6: Oh yes, so I've retracted it.
Speaker 2: You maybe that's why these tickets are going for whatever
Speaker 2: they're going for. But Cooper Flag makes his Summer League debut.
Speaker 2: I don't know why. I don't think he'll win Rookie
Speaker 2: of the Year because I don't think there's a second,
Speaker 2: like there's really a candidate that's that close to him.
Speaker 2: But I just wonder how he fits in with Dallas,
Speaker 2: what they ask him to do, because it feels like
Speaker 2: some of these other are going to put up decent numbers.
Speaker 2: Ace Bailey might put up good numbers for a team
Speaker 2: that may not win twenty games in Utah. Dylan Harper
Speaker 2: may put up some good numbers, even looking back at
Speaker 2: your guy who won the Rookie of the Year for
Speaker 2: San Antonio. Yeah, I mean there were good numbers. They're
Speaker 2: not great numbers, and I wonder what we're going to expect.
Speaker 2: What is fair for Cooper Flag these numbers for his
Speaker 2: rookie year for a team that's got veterans there.
Speaker 3: Yes, Marvin, So if Cooper flag average is maybe thirteen
Speaker 3: and a half points on a team that is fourth
Speaker 3: in the Western Conference, is that a no brainer?
Speaker 2: Hit the odds for him? According to DraftKings, overwhelming to
Speaker 2: be the rookie of the Year.
Speaker 4: But like VJ.
Speaker 2: Edgecombe, he's already proven well summer league that he can
Speaker 2: put up some pretty good in my.
Speaker 4: Badly now I got hit it.
Speaker 2: I got to criticize myself for being critical of other
Speaker 2: people who late in the summer league.
Speaker 4: Strike that from the records.
Speaker 2: Jordan Western, Yeah, already the pole question, Player of the day,
Speaker 2: stat of the day. Last night we had all the golfers,
Speaker 2: all the celebrities got together. It was a pairings party.
Speaker 2: So you find out who you're going to play with
Speaker 2: in the event, and you know you're seeing all walks
Speaker 2: of life in there. You know, there's an a Casornstams
Speaker 2: right there. Actor Jack Wagner's right there. There's Brian Baumgardner,
Speaker 2: Kevin from the Office, Rob Mackilly well Rob mack I
Speaker 2: think he changed he shortened his name always Sonny in Philadelphia,
Speaker 2: all of these people are just kind of mingling about. Uh,
Speaker 2: Steph Curry saw Steph Curry. Marvin was fanboying and Steph
Speaker 2: was seated, and you know he's just sitting there chilling,
Speaker 2: having a drink, and I just thought, let me just salo,
Speaker 2: So I said, uh, hey, and he looks up and
Speaker 2: he goes, oh, man, let me get up, give you
Speaker 2: some a hug.
Speaker 4: Marvin's like he's given you a hug, like he.
Speaker 6: Stood up for you.
Speaker 3: There were some there was some MVPs that he just
Speaker 3: stapped up and didn't get up for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, he said, hey, We've had him
Speaker 2: on since his junior year. I think of Davidson, So
Speaker 2: it's a long relationship there. I was always a big
Speaker 2: fan of his father, Dell when he played in the NBA.
Speaker 2: But if you want to look at boy band craziness,
Speaker 2: Steph Curry walking around when he's playing golf. It was
Speaker 2: crazy yesterday, crazy and Pauline and I were talking like,
Speaker 2: who is the most popular person here? You know, Charles
Speaker 2: Barkley walks into a room. Everybody knows Charles Barkley. But
Speaker 2: Marvin brought up a great point. Steph brings out the
Speaker 2: eight or nine year old who has a jersey on.
Speaker 2: You're not seeing that with Charles and watching Steph walk
Speaker 2: around yet. I mean trying to walk around yesterday and
Speaker 2: play golf, and he's a great golfer and you know
Speaker 2: he wants to be out there playing and trying to
Speaker 2: focus on winning this thing. But the number of people
Speaker 2: following him was incredible. Yeah see, and I mean this
Speaker 2: is basically his backyard. There were only a couple hours
Speaker 2: from their home base.
Speaker 6: You know, Yeah, Paully and Steph Curry.
Speaker 5: He can't stop because there's kids and once they stop,
Speaker 5: it's over.
Speaker 6: So security is trying to get him to the first tee.
Speaker 5: He's walking right past our set and we casually invited
Speaker 5: him on the show and his people said he can.
Speaker 5: He's got a tea off maybe tomorrow. But as we
Speaker 5: walked around the other side, we have two porta potties.
Speaker 5: There are porta potties by the way, and I walked
Speaker 5: around just to say thank you to Steph Curry's guy,
Speaker 5: and I look, I don't see, and as I go
Speaker 5: towards the porta potty to use it, Steph's coming out
Speaker 5: of the porta potty.
Speaker 6: So I followed up.
Speaker 7: Steph.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I know.
Speaker 2: I told Paulie. I said, he's got a tea off
Speaker 2: at a certain time. It's a shotgun start. They're going
Speaker 2: to sound a horn's he's gonna take a whiz and
Speaker 2: then he's going to go to the tea. And Poulie goes, well,
Speaker 2: you never know, I'm just gonna walk out there. So
Speaker 2: I look out over my shoulders the porta potty and
Speaker 2: Paulie I.
Speaker 5: Did not know he was in it. To be fair,
Speaker 5: I would not stock porta potty stock not anymore.
Speaker 2: No, we had the incident with Ray Romano, and we
Speaker 2: don't talk about that.
Speaker 5: But if Steph uses our porta potty, shouldn't he stop
Speaker 5: by the show?
Speaker 6: Is that possible?
Speaker 4: I don't think so, I don't.
Speaker 6: I don't.
Speaker 4: I mean, I would have been fine trying to enforce that.
Speaker 2: But yeah, so you know, we saw Steph saw Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a lot of fun because people are
Speaker 2: relaxed in there and you're just having a cocktail and
Speaker 2: just different people mingling.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Seed, it was the craziest room.
Speaker 8: We've done a lot of really cool things, like doing
Speaker 8: this show, right, We've had a lot of really great opportunities.
Speaker 8: That was one of the craziest rooms I've ever seen
Speaker 8: in my whole life, where it would be Alfonso Roberto
Speaker 8: talking to you know, like Albert Poolholes and Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 8: and you're like, oh my god, and that's Stephen Curry
Speaker 8: walks in and Miles Teller is standing over here. You're like,
Speaker 8: what the heck is and.
Speaker 6: Everybody was just chill.
Speaker 8: They're having like a sandwich and drinking a beer and
Speaker 8: it was crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of fun. So it's awesome. We got
Speaker 2: a great guest list today, and any changes to that,
Speaker 2: we'll let you know where. You know where we're situated
Speaker 2: just right off of the driving range, and we may
Speaker 2: get some people showing up prior to teeing off today.
Speaker 2: But that's the fun part of this all right, So
Speaker 2: poll question today, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 5: The other funny thing is we're such dopes. Me Marvin
Speaker 5: and a seat are sitting there and we're commenting on
Speaker 5: different celebrities. We say, oh, there's Miles Teller. We've never
Speaker 5: seen him before, and that hissed me. Goes, Hey, Colin
Speaker 5: Jos from senem like, yeah, yes, he's kind of jacked.
Speaker 6: I know, dude, Colin Jos is in great shape. Man,
Speaker 6: he's he's gotten big. Then we had a debate.
Speaker 5: See, he goes, if I were that famous and mary
Speaker 5: to Scarlett Joe Hanson, I'd put my feet up and
Speaker 5: just have a belly.
Speaker 6: I'm like, I'd be jack too. I'll just work out
Speaker 6: and stay in shape.
Speaker 2: But I don't think I'd let myself go just because
Speaker 2: I got Scarlet Joe Hanson as my wife.
Speaker 8: No, I'm just saying that is it's like, well, hey,
Speaker 8: like you're on SNL and you got a really hot wipe,
Speaker 8: you got to stay in great shave like not really
Speaker 8: yeah you actually no you don't. It turns out no,
Speaker 8: you do not good debate. There are plenty of gorgeous
Speaker 8: women and you're like, really, wow, that dude man keeps
Speaker 8: up in shaving.
Speaker 6: H I don't have to looks like the normal SEC couple.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Like man, how did he get her.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we went to that party after the party. Yes,
Speaker 8: it was more the one with the crazy room. The
Speaker 8: awesome room was like just players basically. Yeah, and then
Speaker 8: there was something where I think it was players and
Speaker 8: families and everything.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I bet you sixty percent of that crowd went to
Speaker 8: an SEC school. I bet you just looking at there
Speaker 8: was like, oh look there's an old miss Polo shirt
Speaker 8: and that's an LSU one. And that's what I bet
Speaker 8: you at least half of that crowd.
Speaker 2: I saw the punky QB. Jim McMahon owned him a
Speaker 2: long time, got to talk to him. He's had some
Speaker 2: health issues, but he is still Jim McMahon. He you know,
Speaker 2: he's not the golfer that he once was. He was
Speaker 2: a really good golfer. I played a round of golf
Speaker 2: with him probably twenty years ago. It was him and
Speaker 2: Bo Jackson and Mac is just a he's a funny guy.
Speaker 2: Now he plays barfoot. They make him wear his shoes
Speaker 2: when he teas off, and then he takes off his
Speaker 2: shoes and then he plays, and then when he gets
Speaker 2: ready to come back to the eighteenth hole, they have
Speaker 2: him put on his shoes. But he plays barefoot. And
Speaker 2: I ran into his son. His son should be jacked
Speaker 2: because he carries Jim McMahon's golf clubs, and Jim McMahon,
Speaker 2: you know, his poor son. There's usually eight or nine
Speaker 2: beers in the golf bag with ice to start his round,
Speaker 2: and then he makes the turn and adds eight or
Speaker 2: nine beers and ice at the turn. So I saw
Speaker 2: his son, and I was out here in two thousand
Speaker 2: and six playing. I said, you should be in better shape,
Speaker 2: and he goes, what do you mean. I go, you
Speaker 2: carry your dad's clubs with all that beer in there,
Speaker 2: and he goes, no, we got a designated beer carrier
Speaker 2: this year. He goes, I'm not going to carry the beer.
Speaker 2: I'm carrying his clubs. So it was fun last night.
Speaker 2: Now these guys claim that I had an awkward momento.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, and I certainly don't want to start anything
Speaker 2: with this. I didn't intend to start anything with this.
Speaker 2: And all of a sudden, I've got the dan Etz.
Speaker 2: Now Fritzy's not here, he's still in London. So it's Marvin,
Speaker 2: it's PAULI m Seton, and all of a sudden, Marvin
Speaker 2: and Mario, who's the director of the show the Eyes
Speaker 2: and Ears of the Show goes man, you just just
Speaker 2: Roger Clemens.
Speaker 4: I go, I didn't even see him.
Speaker 2: Now his wife said hello, but I didn't even think
Speaker 2: to go, where's your husband? Because it was like, oh,
Speaker 2: you know, this is Debbie Clemens.
Speaker 6: Hi, how are you?
Speaker 2: And she goes, It's been a long time? Okay, And
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, I don't realize that Roger
Speaker 2: is right next to me. Is that how is this
Speaker 2: this affair? Say according to you? Yeah, okay, you guys,
Speaker 2: you guys. Tell me then what happened?
Speaker 5: Okay, we're getting ready to leave this party. He said,
Speaker 5: let's roll, and the guys were with you. I was
Speaker 5: about ten feet behind you, trying to get one more
Speaker 5: plate of food. I see you walk up to a
Speaker 5: couple of people and you are shoulder to shoulder with
Speaker 5: Roger Clemens, the Rocket, but you're facing two different directions.
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, this is cool. Dan's gonna catch up
Speaker 5: with Roger Clemens. We haven't had him on in a while.
Speaker 5: You haven't seen him in a while, and I mean
Speaker 5: a while. And as I'm walking up you go you
Speaker 5: start taking off like that's weird. They didn't talk at all,
Speaker 5: and that's what I thought. Like I thought you saw
Speaker 5: each other and didn't.
Speaker 4: Talk, I would have said a low to him.
Speaker 6: I don't think you saw each other, and I don't
Speaker 6: think I did not.
Speaker 2: If you said, what did he have on? I can't
Speaker 2: tell you what he had on I have. I have
Speaker 2: no clue.
Speaker 5: He had a shirt on that actually said rocket Clemens
Speaker 5: on it. It's like a golf brand.
Speaker 7: Ass.
Speaker 6: Oh you're.
Speaker 7: He's not lying.
Speaker 6: It's a polo shirt. It says the rocket and a
Speaker 6: picture of him.
Speaker 2: Okay, I have no beef with Roger Clemens. He might
Speaker 2: with me, but I don't have any beef with him.
Speaker 2: But these guys were like, I don't even think of you.
Speaker 2: You don't even register to base. Oh be all the
Speaker 2: way back to the hotel, I got. These guys are
Speaker 2: going man, man, that was weird. Man Like, I can't
Speaker 2: then you got a beef. I have no beef with him.
Speaker 2: I didn't see him. If I see him today, I
Speaker 2: would say, hey, Roger, how are you sorry?
Speaker 4: I missed you last night?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 2: But then what if you see him today and he
Speaker 2: ignores you? Then I would and I guess he has
Speaker 2: every right to. Then if he thought that I was
Speaker 2: slighting him. I would like to publicly say I didn't
Speaker 2: intend to slight him. I don't think it bothered him
Speaker 2: last night that I didn't, you know, address him.
Speaker 4: I don't think.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 6: What if he.
Speaker 8: Comes here and stands over on the putting green and
Speaker 8: stands shoulder to shoulder with you the whole time and
Speaker 8: acts like he doesn't notice that you're there, I would
Speaker 8: love that.
Speaker 4: I would love that.
Speaker 5: Yes, Paul, Roger Clemens is in the first group teeing
Speaker 5: off today, the very first.
Speaker 6: He should be out early on the range.
Speaker 4: All right, all right, Roger, keep an eye on him.
Speaker 6: He's golfing with Carson Dally and Colin Jos de jacked.
Speaker 6: Colin Joe's okay, all right, all right? Yeah.
Speaker 2: I always tell Paulie I said, just remind me if
Speaker 2: I've got a beef with anybody or somebody doesn't like me.
Speaker 2: And uh, I don't think that there's anybody here that
Speaker 2: I really have an issue.
Speaker 6: I got to bully myself a little here.
Speaker 5: If I was with you in the group, I probably
Speaker 5: would have said say hi to Roger, but I was
Speaker 5: getting some mahima I takos, I know.
Speaker 6: What you were.
Speaker 8: Yeah.

Speaker 8: school to go to, right, It's great campus confirm confirmed.
Speaker 6: Well these days it's take a little bit.
Speaker 4: Of that's true public. Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's still actually a great institution, Duke. I mean,
Speaker 8: there's a few places better to go watch college basketball, right.
Speaker 8: Notre Dame is Notre Dame. It's great, Boston College, underrated, great.
Speaker 4: City, maybe the best college city in America.
Speaker 8: You know what, if you don't like Notre Dame, you're

Speaker 8: in Carolina.
Speaker 2: I get to see Bill Belichick, you do, Yeah you
Speaker 2: Jordan Hudson. Yeah, accurate, Yeah, accurate.
Speaker 4: I get to wear the Jordan brand.
Speaker 8: Dude, that's sick. I would go to a school just
Speaker 8: because they're like, oh wait, I could wear the Jordan brand,
Speaker 8: and I signed there.
Speaker 2: Well, kids used to sign because that was an Adida
Speaker 2: school or a Nike school. They went because of the
Speaker 2: shoes that you're going to wear.
Speaker 8: Not because their coaches from high school made them go.
Speaker 8: Because of course, I mean, I mean, you know, it's
Speaker 8: just because they wanted to wear Adida that they were
Speaker 8: getting kickbacks.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 2: Jerome vettis the bus. He stopped by yesterday after the show.
Speaker 2: We sat down and talked to him, and I was
Speaker 2: kind of surprised at his physique. He almost looked like
Speaker 2: a mini bus, and I said he might be losing
Speaker 2: that great nickname of the bust. Okay, what's your weight
Speaker 2: compared to when you when you played?
Speaker 10: Right now, I'm still twenty pounds over when I played.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, so you're ahead.
Speaker 7: Was big old shorter pads on, so it make you
Speaker 7: They make you look like you a lot bigger than
Speaker 7: you really are.
Speaker 10: But now there's it's all stomach.
Speaker 4: Did you pick shoulder pads to make you look bigger?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 10: I needed them because I was doing a lot of
Speaker 10: a lot of heavy lifting, so the little bitty shorter
Speaker 10: paths didn't work for me. I needed to have some
Speaker 10: shoulder pads that actually worked a lot of these players.
Speaker 10: Nowadays the paths don't even work. I needed some functional
Speaker 10: short pass because there were guys bigger than me trying
Speaker 10: to take me out.
Speaker 7: So I needed some real shoulder pads.
Speaker 2: Okay, but explain to me that nobody has pads anymore,
Speaker 2: small shoulder pads. You might have a mouthpiece, You might
Speaker 2: not like what what's going on?
Speaker 10: It's you know, it's about speed now, I think that's what.
Speaker 10: Everybody's trying to get as much speed as they can.
Speaker 10: So the big guys are wearing little pads, uh, and
Speaker 10: little shorter pads so that they can be quicker and faster.
Speaker 10: And then the fast guys are wearing nothing, no, no pads,
Speaker 10: no nothing.
Speaker 7: Very they want to be as quick as they can
Speaker 7: possibly be.
Speaker 6: And I've done that.
Speaker 2: If you get if they hit you, period, you hurt.
Speaker 10: Right now, these guys are trying not to get hit
Speaker 10: at all, but if you get hit, it's going to hurt.
Speaker 4: What's the worst place that you got hit?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 10: I got hit in the quad and it split my
Speaker 10: quad and it split it vertically, so so the muscles
Speaker 10: kind of went that way. They didn't, it didn't tear,
Speaker 10: they tore apart. It was a you know what, we're
Speaker 10: playing Jacksonville and I don't I don't remember who hit me.
Speaker 7: You know, it was one of those hits.
Speaker 10: It didn't seem like much, right, you get hit and
Speaker 10: you know, you get up to and then you say ooh,
Speaker 10: and then the day after you saying, oh, we got
Speaker 10: a problem because this.
Speaker 7: Is not this is not working that well and that
Speaker 7: and that's what happened.
Speaker 2: But if you could and you could run like Derrick
Speaker 2: Henry or Barkley, who would you want to run.
Speaker 10: Like Squon Barkley because once he leaves, he's gone.
Speaker 4: But Derrick Henry doesn't get caught, well, he couldn't.
Speaker 7: Get caught very often.
Speaker 10: But quin is gone once he he is gone. And
Speaker 10: and what I just I just love the way he plays.
Speaker 10: I mean, Dereck Henry is a throwback. He could have
Speaker 10: played in any era, right, I mean he's playing in
Speaker 10: this era. He could have played in the air.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 10: Is just it's just fun because he he does some
Speaker 10: things that I don't.
Speaker 7: Think any other human can do at times.
Speaker 10: I mean, to see that run that he had that
Speaker 10: he jumped, it was just you had to rewind it
Speaker 10: because I was like, are you serious.
Speaker 7: I mean, I've seen a lot of.
Speaker 10: Great runs in my lifetime, but I think that was
Speaker 10: the single most most athletic run from a running back
Speaker 10: that I've ever seen.
Speaker 4: You know, your longest run from scrimmage?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 10: From scrimmage? Yes, it was, I was. It was my
Speaker 10: rookie year, I think, yeah, it was. We played we
Speaker 10: were playing New Orleans, and I think it was seventy
Speaker 10: seventy one.
Speaker 7: Seventy one. I'm cheating myself, man, I can't cheat my yard.
Speaker 6: I like how you acted like you didn't know.
Speaker 7: I knew, I knew, I remember it, but I don't.
Speaker 6: I didn't. I didn't.
Speaker 7: I thought it was seventy Honestly, did.
Speaker 4: You get no?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 4: No, it was okay?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah take that. Take that Barry Sanders? Can
Speaker 2: you explain? Can you explain Barry Sanders? And let's say
Speaker 2: nobody saw Barry Sanders, and you're gonna say, hey, there's
Speaker 2: this guy.
Speaker 10: It's one of those you say, well, he does, he goes,
Speaker 10: he'll stop.
Speaker 4: I didn't then, and then.
Speaker 10: After all of those who say it is a touchdown,
Speaker 10: it's a touchdown, it's a touchdown. But I can't really
Speaker 10: tell you how he got there. He went one place,
Speaker 10: he transformed to another place and ended up in the
Speaker 10: end zone. I can't tell you how he got there
Speaker 10: because people he did something special and it was special,
Speaker 10: but I don't know what he did.
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer Drome bettis joining us here Lake Tahoe.
Speaker 2: The Steelers let Najee Harris go, and it always feels
Speaker 2: like that offense is predicated on having a good running
Speaker 2: back there.
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, they they went away from Naji.
Speaker 7: I was a big fan of Naji Harris.
Speaker 10: I saw him develop every single year and was impressive.
Speaker 7: But team no, No, they're going to run the football.
Speaker 10: They drafted young kid from Iowa who's really really good
Speaker 10: running back.
Speaker 4: You bring Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf.
Speaker 10: Well, you're still going to throw the football, but you're
Speaker 10: still going to have to.
Speaker 7: Run the football.
Speaker 10: If you ask Aaron Rodgers, throw the ball forty times,
Speaker 10: that's a mistake, And Aaron would tell you that's a mistake.
Speaker 10: I don't think he wants to throw the ball forty
Speaker 10: times at forty years old, right, So he wants a
Speaker 10: running game too, because now if he can throw between
Speaker 10: twenty five and thirty balls, a game that's meaningful touches,
Speaker 10: and so I just think they have got to run
Speaker 10: the football because what you don't want to do is
Speaker 10: have him running around in the pocket at forty forty
Speaker 10: years old and taking those hits. You want them to
Speaker 10: play action. And I think that's when Aaron Rodgers at
Speaker 10: his best play action. He's moving, he's getting the ball out,
Speaker 10: he's you know, quick in the huddle, out of the
Speaker 10: huddle runner. So I think running the ball is a
Speaker 10: big part of what they need to do.
Speaker 4: Would you rather play for Marcus Freeman or Mike Thomlin, Oh.
Speaker 10: Man, that's tough. Well, I'll tell you this. I would
Speaker 10: say Mike Tomlin as a as an adult, right, as
Speaker 10: a guy who's a veteran guy. If I was a
Speaker 10: college player or a rookies first second year, I would
Speaker 10: want to play for coach Freeman.
Speaker 4: You freshman, he's there as a freshman.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 10: And and I think it's two totally different types of coaches.
Speaker 10: One he's you know, he's been there, he's done that,
Speaker 10: he knows how to reach you. And the other guy
Speaker 10: is a young coach. He's got energy and you know,
Speaker 10: he's you think he may be one of the players.
Speaker 2: He's built something special there. He's tapped in to the
Speaker 2: second generation of of NFL players.
Speaker 10: He has and and and I think part of that
Speaker 10: is NFL players understand the benefit of the educational side
Speaker 10: of it, and they say, hey, if we if I
Speaker 10: can get my son there, that'd be a great win
Speaker 10: for me.
Speaker 7: Now, you know, it's a little.
Speaker 10: Different because you know the guys are transferring and moving around,
Speaker 10: but you know they they want to they want to
Speaker 10: try to get there because I think Coach Freeman he
Speaker 10: resonates to those fathers of players who played. You know
Speaker 10: I played, and you know a lot of other different
Speaker 10: guys they played, and so now their sons are going
Speaker 10: through it, and we know the questions to ask, and
Speaker 10: we know what looks genuine. And when you look at
Speaker 10: Coach Freeman, you see that's genuine.
Speaker 4: How's your golf kin, it's you know.
Speaker 10: It's good until until put the lights on.
Speaker 7: Until the lights come on, it's good until they line
Speaker 7: up all the people on.
Speaker 10: The fairway, and it's like, okay, uh no, but it's
Speaker 10: it's it's good.
Speaker 2: More nerve wracking playing in the super Bowl or playing
Speaker 2: in this celebrity event.
Speaker 7: Oh, this celebrity event way more nerve racking.
Speaker 10: The super Bowl is only nerve wracking in pregame because
Speaker 10: you know, you come out for the pregame and it's
Speaker 10: you know, it's so much energy. It's so much energy, right,
Speaker 10: and so you're seeing, you know, all these people and
Speaker 10: people on the sidelines, you know, celebrities and this that,
Speaker 10: and so you're seeing all these people as you're trying
Speaker 10: to warm up, you know, and so people are talking
Speaker 10: to you, and so you don't really get a chance
Speaker 10: of warm up the way you did. But you warm
Speaker 10: up and warm up twice. In the super Bowl. You
Speaker 10: come out an hour and a half before. Then you
Speaker 10: come out about thirty minutes before, so you so it's
Speaker 10: it's a lot different. But here, uh, you know it's
Speaker 10: just you.
Speaker 6: And that ball.
Speaker 10: Man. Hey, you start talking yourself, come on, do to rizing.
Speaker 10: Go in the hole, Please go in the hole. Then
Speaker 10: you start begging, please go in the hole.
Speaker 4: Great to see it bout saying thanks for stopping on, thanks.
Speaker 7: For having me. It's always great.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific

Speaker 4: WAP starting to get busy.
Speaker 2: Here on a Thursday, Thursday morning here in Lake Tahoe,
Speaker 2: golfers are ount ready to have their morning round.
Speaker 6: What Paulieu to your left of the driving range is
Speaker 6: the great Roger Clements.
Speaker 2: Okay, just throwing it out, Davy. He'll stop over and
Speaker 2: say hello to me. Maybe it's an open invitation. You
Speaker 2: guys are making this a beef. There's no beef between us,
Speaker 2: not on my hey. I mean, you're making it seem
Speaker 2: like I Mike Piazza.
Speaker 6: Was an awkward non encounter.
Speaker 4: Yes it was, but it was my whatever.
Speaker 2: He is the NBA Hall of Famer Managing Director of
Speaker 2: USA Men's Basketball, and we have named him the most
Speaker 2: Valuable Celebrity after last night we make way for the
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer. Grant Hill joined this on the program.
Speaker 2: The reason why we're giving him the most Valuable Celebrity
Speaker 2: the MVC is Grant actually initiated DAP with the Danettes.
Speaker 2: It did no other celebrity, no other celebrity gave DAP
Speaker 2: to the Danettes last night with all the room full
Speaker 2: of celebrities and mister nice guy, gr nicest guy in
Speaker 2: the room, you know, and let me start there, because
Speaker 2: you are one of the nicest people I've ever met.
Speaker 2: But I wonder, you know, guys talk about turning it
Speaker 2: on in a killer instinct when you get on the floor.
Speaker 2: If people meet you, you are You're one of the
Speaker 2: nicest people and respectful people I've ever met in this business.
Speaker 4: But could you always turn it on?
Speaker 2: Did you have that in your head that I'm going
Speaker 2: to go out and kill you once I get on
Speaker 2: the floor.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, look, yeah, I think I'm a good person,
Speaker 11: a nice guy.
Speaker 6: You know, I did dapt these guys.
Speaker 11: Up fans of theirs, and I saw damn and I
Speaker 11: went over and adapt you guys up.
Speaker 6: You did so.
Speaker 11: Yeah, but now you have to I mean, you don't
Speaker 11: get to the NBA, you don't get to that level
Speaker 11: All Star all NBA if you don't have a competitive streak.
Speaker 11: And so, if anything, I think people sometimes can mistake
Speaker 11: kindness for weakness. And so, but when we got between
Speaker 11: those lines, you know, you had to put on almost
Speaker 11: like you had to become a character. You know, you
Speaker 11: had to put on a different personality. And so it
Speaker 11: allowed me to, you know, go at guys and not
Speaker 11: be nasty, you know, be a competitor, have sportsmanship, but
Speaker 11: you're out there to win and compete, and then after
Speaker 11: the game, whatever happens happens. But you know, I was
Speaker 11: missed a nice guy. And you know they ran with
Speaker 11: that in the nineties, and and you know, my wife
Speaker 11: Will said, You're not always nice.
Speaker 4: Compare your encore demeanor to Jordan and Kobe.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, you know, I think for me, you
Speaker 11: gotta be authentic, and you gotta sort of those guys
Speaker 11: I think were assassins. You know, I remember vividly twenty twelve.
Speaker 11: I'm in Las Vegas and I'm a free agent my
Speaker 11: last year, about to be forty years old, and I
Speaker 11: went to the USA basketball practice and it was a
Speaker 11: twenty twelve team getting ready and the Lakers were sort
Speaker 11: of recruiting me. I ended up signing with the Clippers.
Speaker 11: But I was talking to Kobe before practice and the
Speaker 11: intensity in his face and talking about I'm about to
Speaker 11: go out here and kill like he was. And I'm thinking,
Speaker 11: this is, like, this is the same can practice on
Speaker 11: day two and and like it was, it was, but
Speaker 11: he was he was, that was him and and so
Speaker 11: you know, and and then you look at Michael. You know,
Speaker 11: Michael brought that Michael would manufacture things. But you know,
Speaker 11: I didn't go that far, you know, but I still
Speaker 11: look I went out there, and you know, I think
Speaker 11: if you ask the people who I played against, they
Speaker 11: would tell you I was coming at them. And I
Speaker 11: didn't really shoot a lot of jump shots. I'm coming
Speaker 11: right at you, going at you know. And and that
Speaker 11: was the mentality. And you know, I remember, I remember
Speaker 11: my rookie year, we played the Knicks and I went
Speaker 11: I went down. I was going one on one with
Speaker 11: Anthony Bonner. Uh and I get by him and and
Speaker 11: Oakley files me and I fall down, and you know,
Speaker 11: and I go to the free throw line to shoot
Speaker 11: free throws. Next play, I go to the hole. This
Speaker 11: time Bonner files me, but then Oakley foiules me again
Speaker 11: and and then I fall down. And it was like,
Speaker 11: I like, you got heart and he I was like,
Speaker 11: I just couldn't shoot. So that was I had no
Speaker 11: other option. I had to go in there.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 11: But like I went at was like you know, I
Speaker 11: mean I didn't it was always respectful. I didn't you know,
Speaker 11: I know who oak is, but I wasn't going to
Speaker 11: back down. And uh, and so I felt like I
Speaker 11: felt like I won some some respect from him as
Speaker 11: a rookie, which was hard to do.
Speaker 2: Pierce, let me know, tell me if I got this right.
Speaker 2: You made him cry. His rookie year almost made him cry.
Speaker 4: What happened?
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I don't remember.
Speaker 11: You know, he told the story a few times where
Speaker 11: his rookie season in Boston we played the Pistons, and
Speaker 11: I guess, you know, he said, I had all, you know,
Speaker 11: scored a bunch of points assist and just kind of
Speaker 11: went at him every possession. And you know, I think,
Speaker 11: I think the mindset then, I guess he came in
Speaker 11: maybe ninety eight, ninety nine, the lockout season probably was
Speaker 11: his first year. When you got a talented wing player
Speaker 11: who's coming in as a top pick and you see
Speaker 11: them for the first time, you want to go at
Speaker 11: them and send a message. And that's just like, okay,
Speaker 11: if I can, If I can go at them and
Speaker 11: punish them the first time I see them, they're always
Speaker 11: going to remember that.
Speaker 6: And clearly he still does.
Speaker 11: And so I don't remember the game, but I remember
Speaker 11: like thinking like that, you know, Sharif abdor Raheem when
Speaker 11: he came in, like guys that came in after me. Oh, yeah,
Speaker 11: fresh meat. I'm going at them. And so look, I
Speaker 11: love Paul, I love this game. I think he's an
Speaker 11: underrated guy. I don't think people fully appreciate it.
Speaker 4: Didn't he say he's the best pure scorer in the
Speaker 4: in NBA.
Speaker 11: History That I don't agree. No, But but I'll say this,
Speaker 11: and I think people need to understand this, Like to
Speaker 11: be great, to be a top ten, top twenty, like,
Speaker 11: you have to have a delusion confidence and a delusional
Speaker 11: belief in who you are and what you can do.
Speaker 6: And so I told I said this before.
Speaker 11: I think we were I think we were at the
Speaker 11: final four in Minnesota, and I talked about going against Jordan,
Speaker 11: and like you always felt that you were gonna win.
Speaker 6: You have to believe. You have to believe, Like now,
Speaker 6: we didn't win.
Speaker 11: We didn't win much at all back in the nineties
Speaker 11: against the bull, But you thought you were as good
Speaker 11: as Jordan.
Speaker 6: Yes, And that's just part of being a competitor.
Speaker 11: And you know, there were some moments where I was
Speaker 11: able to go at them, and there are a few
Speaker 11: times we beat them. They beat us more times than
Speaker 11: we beat them. But you have to believe that, you
Speaker 11: have to believe in yourself. So I don't agree with Paul,
Speaker 11: but I understand sort of the mindset and where he's
Speaker 11: coming from.
Speaker 2: He's Grant Hill, the Hall of Famer managing director of
Speaker 2: USA men's basketball. What advice would you give Cooper flag?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 11: Wow, I think he's in a great spot. First of all,
Speaker 11: I love Dallas. I love that he's got some good
Speaker 11: talented players around him. And I went to a twenty
Speaker 11: win team my rookie year and four years at Duke,
Speaker 11: where you know it's about winning championships, and now you
Speaker 11: go into an environment you just pick up bad habits.
Speaker 4: Did you even lose twenty games in your career?
Speaker 6: You know, that's a good question. I'm not sure that
Speaker 6: that's that's a great.
Speaker 11: Question because it's, oh, it just but what ends up
Speaker 11: happening is that you become you start to settle in
Speaker 11: to losing habits. And so just one year in a
Speaker 11: bad environment, went from twenty wins to twenty eight.
Speaker 6: My rookie year, big improvement.
Speaker 11: But then when Doug Collins came in the next year,
Speaker 11: he changed the culture and it was painful.
Speaker 6: But so losing is just tough.
Speaker 11: So for him to go to a team that has
Speaker 11: been to the to the to the finals. That has
Speaker 11: playoff expectations. I know Kyrie's out, we don't know if
Speaker 11: he'll be out all season or not. It's a great environment.
Speaker 11: You know, Cooper's handled the pressure so well. It's remarkable
Speaker 11: at a young age. How he You know, last summer
Speaker 11: we brought him in and I was I was a
Speaker 11: little worried that it might be too much for him.
Speaker 6: But let's see, let's see, let's see what happens.
Speaker 11: You know, everyone predicted he would be the number one
Speaker 11: pick this year, and we brought him in with the
Speaker 11: select team last summer and day two he was one
Speaker 11: of the best players on the court and had no fear.
Speaker 6: He was going at these guys.
Speaker 11: Now, I will say they didn't really know his game
Speaker 11: and they didn't have the scouting report on him. So
Speaker 11: I want to qualify things by saying that. But hey,
Speaker 11: just go out there, compete, have fun. The weight of
Speaker 11: the world's on your shoulders. You've got a great coach
Speaker 11: and Jason Well, I think will utilize him, put the
Speaker 11: ball in his hands, take advantage of his versatility.
Speaker 6: So I'm excited to see what he can do.
Speaker 11: But I think if he can, I think he's in
Speaker 11: a great spot and he's got a chance to be
Speaker 11: on a winning team his first year, which is important
Speaker 11: for a rookie.
Speaker 2: We talk about the Hall of very Good. Not everybody's
Speaker 2: a Hall of Famer, Yeah, but there are certain guys
Speaker 2: that we put in the Hall of very Good, like
Speaker 2: Jamal Crawford all of very good.
Speaker 11: Yeah no, well, I mean, I mean he might be
Speaker 11: the Hall of very very very good and yeah, yeah,
Speaker 11: no Jamal. So Jamal is one of my favorite and
Speaker 11: he knows that he's one of my favorite players. I
Speaker 11: always say, Jamal's your favorite player's favorite player, Like he's
Speaker 11: that guy.
Speaker 6: He's the guy that you know KD Lebron Staff.
Speaker 11: I mean, like guys like that they see him like man,
Speaker 11: he is just unreal. And we played together my last
Speaker 11: year and the Clippers, well he played, I was on
Speaker 11: the bench. I was watching, but we sat together on
Speaker 11: the plane and like this guy, he was like studying basket.
Speaker 11: He would go and look up clips on YouTube and
Speaker 11: talk about games I played in in the nineties and
Speaker 11: certain moves that I did, and we talked about like
Speaker 11: he liked to go left pulling up. He's like, you
Speaker 11: know what you inspired me? I got to work on
Speaker 11: going right. And he's six man of the He's in
Speaker 11: his prime at this time. He's already had multiple fifty
Speaker 11: point games. But just you know, one day he comes
Speaker 11: in with the Slam magazine when I'm on the cover.
Speaker 11: He went online and bought it, and like he is
Speaker 11: a basketball junkie, great talent, but just a real student
Speaker 11: of the game.
Speaker 2: So I have the utmost respect all of very very good.
Speaker 2: Anybody else in that hall of very very good. Now
Speaker 2: they're not going to make the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, you know my class.
Speaker 4: Glenn Robinson, Yeah, he should have been.
Speaker 6: I mean, he he man, he was so good.
Speaker 2: He came in and he I thought he was going
Speaker 2: to change the game, being that tall, being able to
Speaker 2: shoot deep. They gave him a hundred million dollars and
Speaker 2: just never quite lived up till I think what people thought.
Speaker 6: You know, yeah, look, I know I went against him.
Speaker 11: I had to guard him, and he was as good
Speaker 11: a player in my heyday when I was, you know,
Speaker 11: in Detroit and healthy before I got hurt. Man, he
Speaker 11: was a bucket one dribble, pull up high release. You know,
Speaker 11: his name was appropriate. He was a dog like he
Speaker 11: was and so you talked to small forwards from like
Speaker 11: jam Jamal Mashburn is another one from my era, but Mashburn, Pippin,
Speaker 11: you know, you go down the line.
Speaker 6: Guys. They had the utmost respect for Glenn Robinson.
Speaker 2: There's a there was a highlight they showed last night
Speaker 2: at the the get together where you cross over Scottie.
Speaker 4: Don't you go in and dunk?
Speaker 6: What did that a few times?
Speaker 4: It would have been nice if they showed you doing
Speaker 4: it against Jordan?
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, you know, I got joined a.
Speaker 6: Couple of times.
Speaker 11: I got Jordan. No, I had a tip dunk on Jordan.
Speaker 11: So so I was on the break oist. I remember
Speaker 11: the game. It was on NBC. It was on NBC.
Speaker 11: I remember we played It was one of the times
Speaker 11: we beat them. We played them. It was the ninety
Speaker 11: seventh season. It was maybe March or April of ninety seven,
Speaker 11: towards the end of the season. And yeah, I had
Speaker 11: a triple double. I think I got like a thirty
Speaker 11: point triple double. I threw it ahead the oldest stor up.
Speaker 11: He went in for a layup, he missed it, and
Speaker 11: Jordan was there and I came and and kind of
Speaker 11: I jumped over Jordan and dumped it and this footage
Speaker 11: you can find it, you can't find it. But yeah,
Speaker 11: so that was you know, that was the only time.
Speaker 11: But nah, I mean Jordan's man, he was, you know.
Speaker 11: And we get into this debate and I and I
Speaker 11: hate the debate. Now I'm going to say who my
Speaker 11: favorite is. But I hate the debate because it kind
Speaker 11: of pits guys and generations against one another.
Speaker 6: And here's the thing, Dan, You look at football, they
Speaker 6: celebrate you know what.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna have to wait to have you tell this story.
Speaker 6: Oh man, okay, alright, alright.
Speaker 2: So the next time I see you at another celebrity event,
Speaker 2: you're gonna tell me who you think the greatest player is.
Speaker 2: He's grand Hill, the Hall of Famer. Hey, great to
Speaker 2: see you again. And most valuable celebrity.
Speaker 6: Oh there you go.
Speaker 4: We'll take a break. We're back after this.
Speaker 6: The day is
