Speaker 1: hour on this Monday. And if you want to see
Speaker 1: grown men cry on live TV, this is the place. Tuesday,

Speaker 1: Party and you can see it unfold YouTube at eight
Speaker 1: Eastern YouTube dot com. Slash the Dan Patrick Show and
Speaker 1: you will see how people really react when they lose
Speaker 1: the sports EMMI. Everybody plays nice when they're in the
Speaker 1: audience there, and you have polite to applause there. This
Speaker 1: is different. We are celebrating no matter what. When the
Speaker 1: announcement is made, we will pour champagne all over each other.
Speaker 1: Did you see the package that we just got in
Speaker 1: the mailroom Seaton. We got some goggles. We got goggles, Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: we have goggles. Friend of the show, like MLB players
Speaker 1: in the locker room. Now, we got some dragon goggles
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be wearing those right as the announcement
Speaker 1: is made and the winner Best Studio Show, Daily Studio
Speaker 1: Show is and then we just start porn champagne. I
Speaker 1: don't even we may not even hear who won. People
Speaker 1: are gonna be so confused. Yes, the people watching are
Speaker 1: are gonna be really confused, like they're celebrating they didn't win.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, I said, I'm not going to feel
Speaker 1: the way I did last year when I left the studio,
Speaker 1: I left the man cave last year, I was really bummed.
Speaker 1: I just down because I thought, I mean, what we do.
Speaker 1: I know this is going to be self congratulatory, but
Speaker 1: all the people that we have in here just that
Speaker 1: we do this every day, how we do this, and
Speaker 1: nobody could pull that. Networks can't do this. We're on
Speaker 1: our own and we're able to do this. But you
Speaker 1: can watch Darius Rucker will join us, Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell,
Speaker 1: Josh Dumel, Brian Cranston, musical performances by Rick Neuheisel, and
Speaker 1: who else is gonna? Melissa Etheridge? You go to join us? Yeo,
Speaker 1: And I just checked that as the first time Rick
Speaker 1: Newhis has ever opened from less Ethridge on a concert tour.
Speaker 1: Well who says that he's opening for her? Oh? I
Speaker 1: don't know, Wow, I don't know. Can imagine you saw
Speaker 1: that on a bill Less Affords playing Who's opening Up?
Speaker 1: Remember the Colorado head Coach? You see yeah, Rick newhis yes,
Speaker 1: yes he and not to sort of follow up on
Speaker 1: your sentiment, and not to like pat any ourselves on
Speaker 1: the back too much or anything. But if people understood
Speaker 1: the difference between the way our show is put together
Speaker 1: and then say maybe how PTI is put together or
Speaker 1: Sports Center or all of these other shows, they would
Speaker 1: have no they would never believe it. Like Dylan, the
Speaker 1: guy who's doing our graphics now got hired because he
Speaker 1: knew how to use a power washer, and now he's
Speaker 1: our graphics guy and he's up for an Emmy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like that's people have no idea. Yes, look where the
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, like what the personnel looks like here
Speaker 1: versus And Dylan wasn't a good powerwasher, but he's good
Speaker 1: at graphics. He's better. And then and then Eric the
Speaker 1: big German. I hired him to be the general contractor
Speaker 1: when we were building the new Man Cave. He's a
Speaker 1: studio manager. Now he's our director. People go to school,
Speaker 1: they they they they study, you know, an apprenticeship to
Speaker 1: be a director. He's in there with his dog Penny,
Speaker 1: And like I had to borrow equipment from he borrowed
Speaker 1: it from his college. And I said, can we create,
Speaker 1: you know, some kind of studio And he goes sure.
Speaker 1: I mean he put this together in three months. The
Speaker 1: big german oversaw this happening in three months, and I'm like, guys,
Speaker 1: let's just fake it till we make it. I don't
Speaker 1: you know, Hey, have you done this before? No? All right,
Speaker 1: you'll learn. Don't worry about it. We got time. Yeah. Point,
Speaker 1: it's like, do I go to college or I do
Speaker 1: work at landscaper? Which which is the path I want
Speaker 1: to go to be a big time studio. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: you could be a landscaper and we'll bring you in
Speaker 1: and then you can all of a sudden, who knows
Speaker 1: what you're doing? Camera over there. Yeah, that's a Tuesday
Speaker 1: at eight eastern on our YouTube channel, you can watch
Speaker 1: us cry. Although we're not going to this time, I'm celebrating.
Speaker 1: We are celebrating tomorrow. You know what, We are going
Speaker 1: to act as if we won, no matter why. Tomorrow night.
Speaker 1: Guarantee Father's Day gifts, We've got those for you dan
Speaker 1: Patrick dot coms and great great deals there, great t
Speaker 1: shirts shop at dan patrick dot com. Phone calls will
Speaker 1: get to more best and worse than the weekend. We
Speaker 1: will talk to Reggie Miller. He'll join us coming up
Speaker 1: in about twenty minutes from now. There are several memorable
Speaker 1: moments when COVID affected sports, go back to the NBA
Speaker 1: never when the Jazz and Thunder were taken off the
Speaker 1: court right before the game because Rudy Gobert tested positive
Speaker 1: the World Series. The Dodgers had to pull Justin Turner
Speaker 1: off the field during the clinching game. There have been
Speaker 1: many other positive tests that have had huge impacts. In
Speaker 1: this weekend, you saw something different. John Ram was winning
Speaker 1: the Memorial by six strokes on Saturday, coming off the eighteenth,
Speaker 1: he was told he attested positive for COVID. He was
Speaker 1: out of the tournament. Patrick Kntley went on to win
Speaker 1: it on Sunday. You can see as John Ram comes
Speaker 1: off the eighteenth and he's informed that his caddy is
Speaker 1: giving the official grief in front of the camera because
Speaker 1: we don't know what's being told, but John's catty is
Speaker 1: basically saying get out of here. Well, the camera persons
Speaker 1: just doing their job because CBS was not informed. If
Speaker 1: you know at four twenty eastern on Saturday that John
Speaker 1: Ram has tested positive, the PGA tour found this out,
Speaker 1: got the results back, he attested positive. At what point
Speaker 1: do you inform Jim Nance and Nick Faldo. Now maybe
Speaker 1: you were double checking the test, but at what point
Speaker 1: do you say, should we take John Ram off the course?
Speaker 1: He's going to be dcted. But you must tell Jim
Speaker 1: Nance what is going on, because Jim couldn't tell us
Speaker 1: what was going on. That's your broadcast partner, and pull
Speaker 1: John Ram off to the side. Just bring him into
Speaker 1: the scores tent. Don't put him on camera. And it's
Speaker 1: already going to be devastating, embarrassing. He's getting disqualified. He
Speaker 1: tested positive, and then you tell him right as he
Speaker 1: comes off the eighteenth green. What are we thinking, Folks,
Speaker 1: some privacy because or at least let Jim Nance know
Speaker 1: so Jim can tell us, because as I said in
Speaker 1: the first hour, I truly thought something had happened to
Speaker 1: John's newborn baby and that is wrong. We haven't heard
Speaker 1: back from the tour. We did reach out to John
Speaker 1: and Jim Nance and Nick Foudo. But you know, COVID
Speaker 1: is still a factor in sports. It's a big issue
Speaker 1: for the Olympics. They're still trying to get the Olympics
Speaker 1: in Japan this summer, and we don't want to see
Speaker 1: games affected. We don't want to see John Ram was
Speaker 1: in line for one point six million dollars. That's first
Speaker 1: place at Memorial and just well, all right, I've said
Speaker 1: enough PGA tour. We deserve better, John Ram deserved better,
Speaker 1: and CBS the broadcasters deserve better as well. Pole question
Speaker 1: mclov and, what are we going with in the final hours? Okay,
Speaker 1: the first two hours was do these celebrities fights watered down? Boxing?
Speaker 1: Eighty eight percent said yes. How about some NBA pole options?
Speaker 1: Who's coming out of the West. You have the Suns,
Speaker 1: the Jazz, the Nuggets, and the Clippers. Who wins that pole?
Speaker 1: The Jazz or the number one seed? So is that
Speaker 1: the answer? Probably? Okay, probably the Jazz. Who's the national
Speaker 1: breakout start in this round of the playoffs? Is it?
Speaker 1: Trey Young already had one good game. Devin Booker is
Speaker 1: playing really well, Donovan Mitchell, as I guess the face
Speaker 1: of the Jazz maybe like a Michael Porter Jr. Or
Speaker 1: some dark horse guy out of nowhere. I would say
Speaker 1: Devin Booker might be the guy. Now, we saw those
Speaker 1: eight games in the bubble, you know, and then he
Speaker 1: had the big performance against the Lakers. NBC has the
Speaker 1: US Open a major that for Gibbs no One the
Speaker 1: US and begins June seventeenth on NBC Golf and streaming
Speaker 1: on Peacock. If you're the US Open and you're broadcasting
Speaker 1: this in your NBC you can bet that the folks
Speaker 1: at NBC are going to say to the US Open,
Speaker 1: if this comes up, we need to know. We don't
Speaker 1: want to have another situation like we had there with
Speaker 1: John Rong. Yeah, Pa, I wonder if the US Open
Speaker 1: might go the other way and look at the situation situation, say,
Speaker 1: anyone who's starts the tournament, that's when testing stops. Like
Speaker 1: once we start our four day tournament, we don't want
Speaker 1: to have to take someone out. Almost like like what
Speaker 1: they didn't do with the LA Dodgers. They didn't get
Speaker 1: you let the game be played. They should stop whenever
Speaker 1: the game the event starts, then you stop your testing
Speaker 1: and let the event play out, because then you avoid
Speaker 1: this type of situation. You're not being naive, but you're
Speaker 1: saying everyone's coming in a certain way. That's tricky. It is,
Speaker 1: it's tricky. Let me get a couple of phone calls
Speaker 1: best worse of the week in Stephen in California. Stephen,
Speaker 1: thank you for holding what's your best and worst of
Speaker 1: the weekend? Hey Stephen, thank you Stephen. Gus and Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: Hey Gus, best and worst of the weekends a DP
Speaker 1: worst of the weekend that fight last night, apparently, all
Speaker 1: you need now is one hundred million followers on YouTube
Speaker 1: could be able to fight the greatest of all time
Speaker 1: and best of the weekend with me being in cobble
Speaker 1: all last week where I was able to buy buy one,
Speaker 1: get one margaritas at a price of two dollars a piece,
Speaker 1: so I could forget the fact that I made that
Speaker 1: damn bet with Steeden shower of shame. I'm on it
Speaker 1: up like a man. So when you boys are in
Speaker 1: town next time, Honey then fanned apparently, Yes, yes, you
Speaker 1: have to pour honey and then Sam, not Sam, then
Speaker 1: Honey Gus Yes. So yeah, that was the only best
Speaker 1: of whatever came out of last weekend and last week
Speaker 1: with the nice people of Cabo making me feel good
Speaker 1: while I was walking around the beaches with my magic
Speaker 1: Johnson Jersey on. So yeah, thank you very much again
Speaker 1: for the fun that will be in two on that
Speaker 1: and Watica beach I thank you boys, ran, thank you Gus.
Speaker 1: Gus will pay off his bet. I don't even remember
Speaker 1: the bad do you remember, Seaton? I don't even remember
Speaker 1: what it was. We just throw out so many of
Speaker 1: these beds, so it's like, why am I taking the
Speaker 1: pie of the face. Yeah, I'll hop on that one.
Speaker 1: There's this Twitter feed that tracks it. I'm looking up
Speaker 1: right now that all our bets and there's so many
Speaker 1: on there. Steven Oregon, Hey Steve, what's on your mind today? Hey?
Speaker 1: Good morning? Those ten two ten um best the weekend
Speaker 1: a little bit of a tossip for me. Fox sweeping
Speaker 1: the Yankees or the US men's national team. They're both
Speaker 1: great to watch. I wish the weekend I think just
Speaker 1: conflating entertainments spectacle with sport. In the fight last night,
Speaker 1: my son literally came down and told me it was
Speaker 1: a tie. But on the other hand, just something for
Speaker 1: back row. You guys brought up earlier just how frustrating
Speaker 1: is to watch the end of basketball games. And I
Speaker 1: would say, have a lot of sports out there, the
Speaker 1: end of games getting really tricky to watch just because
Speaker 1: it dragged out. But one thing that I've seen in
Speaker 1: rugby that I think could be applied really well to
Speaker 1: other sports is they go hot Mike on everything between
Speaker 1: the video review in the van, the rest on the field,
Speaker 1: the players talking to the rest, and it even though
Speaker 1: it still dragged out, it's super compelling and I think
Speaker 1: that would be something that you could take and apply
Speaker 1: to just about all the major league sports. All right, well,
Speaker 1: thank you, Steve. This is this has to be the
Speaker 1: least shocking thing of all time. This according to Albert
Speaker 1: Brewer the Monday Morning quarterback Julio Jones had quote no
Speaker 1: clue he was on TV when he made his trade
Speaker 1: request public to Shannon Sharp on Fox Sports one last month. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we knew that. That's why Skip Bayliss and Shannon Sharp
Speaker 1: they didn't talk about it again. They were done, what
Speaker 1: what happened? We didn't get permission to use the video.
Speaker 1: They knew that there was some serious ramifications that were looming,
Speaker 1: but we asked for the video and they're like, noope,
Speaker 1: it ain't happen. Oh, I'm not surprised. The Julio Jones
Speaker 1: trade doesn't make them better Tennessee. Yeah it does. I
Speaker 1: don't know if it makes them any better than Ravens, Bills, Chiefs,
Speaker 1: and Browns. Because let's just look at the team. Kanas
Speaker 1: City's the best team, Buffalo is right there, Baltimore feels
Speaker 1: like it is better than Tennessee. And then you have
Speaker 1: the Browns who are going to have a great defense,
Speaker 1: and Odell Beckham is back and the offense and Baker
Speaker 1: Mayfield another year and they should be better than Tennessee.
Speaker 1: The Colts to me, probably right there with the Titans.
Speaker 1: I don't so you you got a little better. Did
Speaker 1: you get good enough where we're gonna look at you
Speaker 1: and say you're a legitimate super Bowl contender? You know what?
Speaker 1: I think you need a little bit of some defense
Speaker 1: because if you have a good defense, then you have
Speaker 1: a chance to be a super Bowl contender. But if
Speaker 1: you have a defense like you had last year, Julio Jones,
Speaker 1: not gonna help you that much. Yeah, mcglove. And where
Speaker 1: do you put Atlanta now? Oh, nobody cares seven and ten?
Speaker 1: If all goes well, I think they would sign up
Speaker 1: for seven and ten right there. I was curious, Yeah,
Speaker 1: are they giving up by training? Julio? I don't know
Speaker 1: what they're doing. I get nobody cares you know. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'll tune in to see pits, but what else you seeing?
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley there? Right? Yeah? Pull Atlanta doesn't make sense
Speaker 1: to me with their strategy. If they weren't thinking about
Speaker 1: being competitive this year, then why not use this as
Speaker 1: the time to replace their quarterback? Because they rarely have
Speaker 1: top five draft picks. Didn't they have justin Fields in
Speaker 1: their lap without having any trade for him? Yeah, they
Speaker 1: would have bears that a trade up. They could have
Speaker 1: just picked him and worked it out. Even if you
Speaker 1: traded down and you took mac Jones, mac Jones has
Speaker 1: a good chance of starting. He has a good chance.
Speaker 1: Like Bill Belichick in a million years, I would go,
Speaker 1: there's no way you're starting a rookie quarterback. Mac Jones
Speaker 1: has a good chance reportedly of starting for the Patriots. Yeah, pulling.
Speaker 1: Since we're on it, is there a harder quarterback to
Speaker 1: categorize than Ryan Tannehill of the Titans. If you look
Speaker 1: at his stats and not his name, they're really good.
Speaker 1: Like for his career, he's got a bunch of good seasons.
Speaker 1: Last year he had thirty three touchdowns at seven picks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: does anyone talk about him as no? But I Hey,
Speaker 1: I'll sign up for that. If that's what you get
Speaker 1: out of him, then that's a bonus. Cam Newton is
Speaker 1: the one that I have a hard time quantifying. I
Speaker 1: have no idea what I could get out of him.
Speaker 1: I might get nine rushing touchdowns and seven passing touchdowns.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just not sure. All right, let me
Speaker 1: take a break, Reggie Miller said to join us. It's
Speaker 1: seventeen after the hour here on the Dan Patrick Shell.

Speaker 1: ever get you into the boxing ring and fight Floyd Mayo? There?
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody else is getting in the ring? Reg Wow,
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's some fellows. I would love beginning to
Speaker 1: the ring with h No. I give a lot of
Speaker 1: credit to Ojo Zinco for doing that. There is absolutely
Speaker 1: zero percent you would get those gloves on me. And
Speaker 1: I am a I consider myself a boxing officiato. I
Speaker 1: love the sport. I love going to the big prize fights,
Speaker 1: but it takes a different switch to be a boxer,
Speaker 1: MMA fighter. It's it's a little different. What if I
Speaker 1: put you in there against Kayshon Print. I see he's
Speaker 1: a nice guy. Okay, but HI didn't. Wait, you know
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get are doing saying how would you
Speaker 1: do against Muggsie Bogues. Muggsie might get me? I know
Speaker 1: Muggie might get me, but but you didn't. You're not
Speaker 1: a fighter, right, You're an We're saying, but I did
Speaker 1: have my share of scraps while I played, um, just
Speaker 1: trying to create space for myself. But I am not
Speaker 1: a fighter. I'm a lover. As Jay said in that
Speaker 1: video with Paul McCartney, I'm not a fighter. I'm a lover.
Speaker 1: Oh I talk. You'm talking about Michael Jordan. I was
Speaker 1: thinking Michael Jordan was in a video. No Haartney, No
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson. Paul McCartney say, say, say, how would it
Speaker 1: go if you and Michael Jordan got in the ring.
Speaker 1: It wouldn't go well for me. It wouldn't go well
Speaker 1: for me. Yeah. I would always tell these guys like
Speaker 1: Chado Cho Sinko actually did pretty well the first three rounds.
Speaker 1: Keep your gloves up. Yeah, just that day because you
Speaker 1: get tired and these guys dropped their gloves or they
Speaker 1: want to act like their Ali and you know they're
Speaker 1: gonna dance or Sugar Ray Leonard, I'm like, keep your glove.
Speaker 1: Boom gets tagged line on the jaw. What was great
Speaker 1: about that is after his knockdown, when he got out,
Speaker 1: he was a little delirious when he was trying to
Speaker 1: give up a You we laughed at that, but we
Speaker 1: don't know the level a pain that Chad was going
Speaker 1: through them right, he doesn't want to give him a
Speaker 1: high boy, what's the best title fight that you've ever
Speaker 1: witnessed in person? I would probably have to say because
Speaker 1: it was a spectacle. I'm gonna go with Floyd and
Speaker 1: Manny just for the simple fact there was so much
Speaker 1: hype that was leading up to it, and it merged
Speaker 1: pop culture the sport of boxing together because it was
Speaker 1: an event. It just wasn't a boxing match. It was
Speaker 1: an event and to have ringside seats to be a
Speaker 1: part of that and feel the atmosphere because there's it's
Speaker 1: something different from a prize fight than running out of
Speaker 1: the tunnel tunnel for an NBA game. The atmosphere because
Speaker 1: you have betting sides, you have guys that are solely
Speaker 1: on Floyd that we're solely on Manny, and it was hype.
Speaker 1: So to be a part of that was kind of cool.
Speaker 1: We're talking to Reggie Miller. Reg will be on the call.
Speaker 1: It's a Nuggets Sons game one Western Conference Finals, that
Speaker 1: will be semifinals, that'll be a ten Eastern on TNT.
Speaker 1: Let me start with the James Harden interview, or at
Speaker 1: least that conversation of he goes off the floor and
Speaker 1: it didn't look terrible, but Steve Nash said he felt horrible,
Speaker 1: like like this was big news, bad news. But James
Speaker 1: didn't give us the impression that this might be something
Speaker 1: where he's not even playing in this series. What did
Speaker 1: you take away from that moment? Well, again, only an
Speaker 1: athlete will know his body, his or her body the best.
Speaker 1: To me, what it sounded like is this is something
Speaker 1: that's kind of been an ongoing Obviously, he's had issues
Speaker 1: with his hamstrings season where he's reaggravated them, but it
Speaker 1: looks like leading up to this that it was still
Speaker 1: on the fringe of something being wrong and for it
Speaker 1: to happen that quickly in the beginning of Game one.
Speaker 1: UM hamstrings, growings, what Athony Davis had, those are things
Speaker 1: that are that take time to recover from. UM. I
Speaker 1: would not be surprised if he probably misses this series
Speaker 1: and if they're fortunate to get to the Conference finals,
Speaker 1: he comes back for that. But on the flip side,
Speaker 1: because of physical therapy and treatment, UM, if he can
Speaker 1: come back by gains four or five, that wouldn't surprise
Speaker 1: me as well. But you know it's gonna linger redge
Speaker 1: that it is that it's gonna stay with him the
Speaker 1: rest of this postseason. And his type of game, which
Speaker 1: is short, explosive moves, that's all hamstrings, that's all growing.
Speaker 1: So it's all connected. I feel for him because you know,
Speaker 1: to me, they are it's theirs to lose down. Even
Speaker 1: with him going down, they still have Kyrie, they still
Speaker 1: have Katie. To me, it's still theirs to lose. But
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of that, you know,
Speaker 1: and he is a big, huge part of the success
Speaker 1: of the Nets and you would like to see him
Speaker 1: out there. Everything okay with the Clippers now that they've
Speaker 1: moved on, No, it's not it's great that they advanced,
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of questions and just because they
Speaker 1: got by the Dallas amount of ricks and Luca in
Speaker 1: the first round, what's waiting for them is the best
Speaker 1: passing and shooting team in the NBA, in the Utah Jazz.
Speaker 1: So they kind of wanted this because they thought that
Speaker 1: they were going to avoid the Lakers and how the
Speaker 1: Lakers are out, but you're going to get a very
Speaker 1: dangerous offensive weapon in the Utah Jazz. No one has
Speaker 1: given them credit. Their only loss was when Donovan Mitchell
Speaker 1: did not play in Game one versus Memphis. They go
Speaker 1: off and run four straight against Memphis if they shoot
Speaker 1: the ball. The problem with Dallas was Luca and at
Speaker 1: times Hardaway was really the only offensive weapons for the Mavericks.
Speaker 1: The Jazz have four or five guys that can flat
Speaker 1: out shoot the basketball. They spread you out. This could
Speaker 1: be a very tough and long series for the Clippers.
Speaker 1: How do you build around Luca? It's very difficult because
Speaker 1: he's ball dominant, and that's not a bad thing. You know.
Speaker 1: You look at the fourteen assists last night. I mean
Speaker 1: he was not only was he scoring, but he was
Speaker 1: setting up his teammates as well. It's difficult because you've
Speaker 1: got to find bigs that can stretch the floor, that
Speaker 1: can play in the high pick and roll. And that's
Speaker 1: why you thought for Zingis was a perfect fit for them.
Speaker 1: That should be your go to money play Porzingis Luca,
Speaker 1: end of game. How are you going to play that?
Speaker 1: You switch Luca can kill the bigs, or you could
Speaker 1: put Porzingis someone in the post. But Porzingis has been
Speaker 1: very disappointed all season. To me, he was injury plagued.
Speaker 1: So I don't know how you built around him because
Speaker 1: it's not like they need a point guard because he
Speaker 1: is the point guard on that team. You need bigs
Speaker 1: that can stretch the floor and shoot. Would you keep
Speaker 1: Porzingis personally No. I would see what I can get
Speaker 1: for him, but it depends on what I'm going to
Speaker 1: get in a return For him to say that he
Speaker 1: felt that his role was diminished or they didn't use him, well,
Speaker 1: he had plenty of opportunities to be to make an
Speaker 1: imprint in in that series and he didn't. Especially you know,
Speaker 1: when they went up three two going home, that to me,
Speaker 1: that was the series right there. They weren't going to
Speaker 1: close it out at home, being up three, two, then
Speaker 1: it was gonna be very difficult to win game seven.
Speaker 1: In Staples, who's the best player in the NBA. I
Speaker 1: will always go with a healthy Lebron James as the
Speaker 1: best player, just for the simple fact that he does
Speaker 1: everything even now healthy I said, I mean before he
Speaker 1: went down with the ankle injury, he was in the
Speaker 1: discussion for the MVP. He was one of the top
Speaker 1: three candidates before the ankle injury. I mean, he's gonna
Speaker 1: give you twenty five, eight and eight. I mean I
Speaker 1: will take that plus what he what he does lifting
Speaker 1: up his teammates. But I mean there's for Luca though,
Speaker 1: reg serious continuers for the crown Luca. I mean what
Speaker 1: Stephan has done at thirty two, soon to be thirty three,
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, I mean, there's there's there's a lot of
Speaker 1: guys coming for that crown. Jannis a two time MVP,
Speaker 1: but he has flaws in my opinion, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: hard for me to say he's the best player when
Speaker 1: they're serious as flaws in his game. The MVP this year,
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be Yokich. You know, we're
Speaker 1: gonna see him tonight versus DeAndre Ayden, which I'm excited
Speaker 1: to see up and coming young center versus the potential MVP.
Speaker 1: And then Joel MP has a torment niscus and goes
Speaker 1: out and gets thirty nine in Game one in Philadelphia. Right,
Speaker 1: So there are serious guys for the crown of that
Speaker 1: best player in the league, Dan, but a healthy Lebron
Speaker 1: James at thirty five thirty six, it's hard to shy
Speaker 1: away from that. Who do you like in your series?
Speaker 1: Nugget Sons, You would think that Denver has the edge
Speaker 1: because they have experienced. They were in the conference finals
Speaker 1: last year versus the Lakers. They understand how to win
Speaker 1: tough series, being down three one twice last year in
Speaker 1: the bubble finding ways to win. But something is brewing
Speaker 1: here in the Desert. Williams just has these guys clicked
Speaker 1: in and with the injury to Chris Paul, I thought
Speaker 1: that series was over if he wasn't going to be
Speaker 1: able to come back and be helping, But Cameron Payne
Speaker 1: was fantastic off the bench. Jay Crowder has found his shot.
Speaker 1: He was two of twenty from threes in the first
Speaker 1: three games of that series, went twelve or twenty the
Speaker 1: rest of the way is toughness. I think it's going
Speaker 1: to be a very difficult series, but I have Phoenix
Speaker 1: winning in seven. But you could make a case for
Speaker 1: Denver as well as seven. But I think this is
Speaker 1: going to distance between these two teams. Jake Crowder is
Speaker 1: not afraid of Lebron James. No, he gets right in
Speaker 1: his faith. It's almost as if he says to Lebron,
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? Because I'm not afraid of you.
Speaker 1: I guess that's interesting because you normally don't see somebody
Speaker 1: step up to somebody like that. I mean, think of
Speaker 1: all the great players in the game and the history
Speaker 1: of the game, Like who's stood up right in somebody's
Speaker 1: face and basically is trying to emasculate you. Like Jay
Speaker 1: Crowder wants Lebron to know, I don't care who you are.
Speaker 1: I'm going to be right here the whole time. And
Speaker 1: I think that gave the inexperience other than Chris Paul
Speaker 1: the inexperienced Son's Life juice. And I think it's going
Speaker 1: to be that toughness that is why they will prevail
Speaker 1: in seven games versus Denver. People don't have a pickup
Speaker 1: series between these two but to me, the key will
Speaker 1: be DeAndre Ayden versus Jo who can get the other
Speaker 1: center in foul trouble. If Aiden is in foul trouble,
Speaker 1: advantaged Denver, Denver wins the series. If Aiden can stay
Speaker 1: out of foul trouble and stay on the floor and
Speaker 1: play Yokis one on one and neutralize them, which is
Speaker 1: easier said than done, and you could stay home with
Speaker 1: the shooters, advantaged sons, Sons win the series. We were
Speaker 1: talking about this earlier. Mclovin thinks that Trey Young, you know,
Speaker 1: you can't put your hands on you can't rough him up.
Speaker 1: You know in today's NBA that if you're playing when
Speaker 1: you played like Trey Young, will be put on his
Speaker 1: butt a couple of times in a series. But is
Speaker 1: so the NBA is basically saying that we don't want
Speaker 1: this to ever happen again. We want to protect our players.
Speaker 1: We don't want guys getting knocked down. You know, there's
Speaker 1: no Jordan rules here, there's no bad boys with the pistons.
Speaker 1: So you think that that is the NBA is doing
Speaker 1: this on purpose, not just for Trey Young, but we're
Speaker 1: not going to allow this to happen in basketball again.
Speaker 1: They want scoring up, They want freedom of movement, and
Speaker 1: what does that do. That puts the casual fans in
Speaker 1: the stands because they want to see spectacular plays. They
Speaker 1: want to see Trey Young knock down thirty thirty five footers.
Speaker 1: They want to see him shoot floaters from the free
Speaker 1: throw line without being put on his behind. That puts
Speaker 1: the casual fan, not the horrorcore fan. The casual fans
Speaker 1: will come to game to be like, Hey, that's that Tree,
Speaker 1: that's the guy that took on New York. That's the
Speaker 1: guy who you know Ice Tray and was telling the credit.
Speaker 1: The casual fan wants to see that. And that's no
Speaker 1: disrespect to Trade because he is slowly becoming, if not already,
Speaker 1: a household name for what his exploits in New York
Speaker 1: and what he potentially could do in Philly against two
Speaker 1: Marquis franchises. So I have no problem with that. But
Speaker 1: this has been going on for a while, the freedom
Speaker 1: of movement, This is not new this season. Freedom of
Speaker 1: movement really started the beginning of two thousand. Commissioner Stern
Speaker 1: wanted scoring to be up. He didn't want the bloodbath
Speaker 1: between Detroit and New York and Indiana holding, clutching, hitting
Speaker 1: scores eighty five to ninety. They want that up there,
Speaker 1: one hundred twenty, one hundred and twenty five. That's what
Speaker 1: it is today. When did they sturn allowing the players
Speaker 1: to carry the basketball that's been on since the beginning
Speaker 1: of time? No, no, it was I Iverson and Stockton
Speaker 1: Art those guys Away. Yeah, but now now it's not
Speaker 1: even it's never called my kids. You can have your
Speaker 1: hands waiting under the ball and then my kids, I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, call a carry. I would I'm more call
Speaker 1: a walk, for there's no traveling myself on fundamentals coming
Speaker 1: from UCLA. That's all they built into us was one
Speaker 1: jump stop pot, jump stop, call the walk. Do you
Speaker 1: think though, like Iverson carried all the time, right, yes?
Speaker 1: And Stockton and and Tim Hardaway, yes yeah, and Kobe
Speaker 1: a little bit and if you and if you had
Speaker 1: a handle then you maybe hold on. Yeah, that's all
Speaker 1: you did right there. I need yea. I know you
Speaker 1: you're one of the great shooters in history. But I
Speaker 1: wouldn't teach your form to anybody, No, not at all.
Speaker 1: It was very unorthodox. It was invented out of getting
Speaker 1: my shot blocked. Nine out of ten times for my
Speaker 1: older sister and older brothers. I couldn't shoot like this
Speaker 1: right in front of them because they kept going back.
Speaker 1: So I would do this and kind of push it
Speaker 1: over them. And that's where that was born from. Do
Speaker 1: you have a basketball there with you? I don't when
Speaker 1: I'm in the hotel here in Phoenix. And why would
Speaker 1: I travel with a basketball? Theodore? I don't know. I
Speaker 1: do you travel with a basketball on the road? Yes,
Speaker 1: to my best friend, I get a seed for the
Speaker 1: basketball when I fly forgot to get first class from
Speaker 1: my basketball. See this is why this is why you
Speaker 1: and my dan ads are winning Himmy's tomorrow now is

Speaker 1: you dead Mouse? Yeah, Marshmallow and whatever else Daft Punk
Speaker 1: is playing in my house? My house? Uh. Final results
Speaker 1: of the Pole question there, McLevin. Uh do you I
Speaker 1: think that I can't concentricute to these cockles? He it's terrible.
Speaker 1: Do you think that the celebrity fights wore down boxing?
Speaker 1: Eight percent? Yes? This from longtime Falcons reporter Jeff Schultz.
Speaker 1: The Falcons didn't like uh fields, so that's why they
Speaker 1: decided not to take a quarterback. I would have traded down.
Speaker 1: And if if you're gonna well you've got a great
Speaker 1: tight end, but you still have Matt Ryan there, like,
Speaker 1: I don't you're are you ready to compete? I don't
Speaker 1: think so. That's I don't know. It feels like they're
Speaker 1: just two steps forward, two steps back. Yeah, I'm a
Speaker 1: club that's limbo, right, that's like yeah, and you don't
Speaker 1: want to be there. Just Kyle Pitts, you know, could
Speaker 1: turn out to be wonderful player. But if you missed
Speaker 1: out on the other quarterbacks and you didn't like the
Speaker 1: other ones mac Jones, Like, if I trade down and
Speaker 1: I could get Mac Jones, did that make sense unless
Speaker 1: they didn't have a good grade on him? And then
Speaker 1: you don't want to just take a quarterback. And there
Speaker 1: there are a couple of teams that didn't have good
Speaker 1: grades on justin fields at all. But if you're the
Speaker 1: Falcons you didn't get a quarterback, there's year you'll probably
Speaker 1: get a chance to get one next year, let's for sure.
Speaker 1: All Right, you got the games coming up tonight. You
Speaker 1: got the game that Reggio will be on the call for.
Speaker 1: That'll be Game one, Nuggets and the Suns. And then
Speaker 1: you got Game two, Bucks and the Nets. Bucks got
Speaker 1: to win this game with James Harden. Nowt I thought.
Speaker 1: Frank I Solo who covers the Nets, he's part of
Speaker 1: their studio show, he had this to say about Harden's
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. I thought it was interesting after the game.
Speaker 1: I once had a guy tell me when I first
Speaker 1: started covering sports, a guy from the New York Times.
Speaker 1: He said, never under play an injury. And after games,
Speaker 1: if a guy's not hurt, the team will always say
Speaker 1: it's not that bad. If it's a bad injury, they'll
Speaker 1: always say, now, we don't really know. And after the game,
Speaker 1: that's what you were kind of getting from the Brooklyn Nets.
Speaker 1: And then Steve Nett said, I'm heartbroken for James. Why
Speaker 1: would you be heartbroken for him if he's going to
Speaker 1: come back anytime soon? And than Kevin Durant made it
Speaker 1: seem Mike, it's going to be a long term thing.
Speaker 1: Just remember this, Dan, when Harden got hamstring right hamstring injury,
Speaker 1: he was out from April seventh until May twelfth, So that,
Speaker 1: you know, that should kind of give you some indication
Speaker 1: of where this could be. Yeah, I thought those are
Speaker 1: really telling words there by Frank, Like Steve Knash said,
Speaker 1: he in fact, let's play that. Here's Steve Nash's talking
Speaker 1: about James Harden's injury. Heartbroken for him. I don't know
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. I don't know if he's playing
Speaker 1: next game, if he's out, I have no idea, but
Speaker 1: heartbroken for him that he just got to miss that
Speaker 1: he had to miss tonight. I mean, this guy was
Speaker 1: so ready and excited to play tonight, and you know
Speaker 1: the preparation he puts in. You know how much he
Speaker 1: cares about the game, how much he cares about his team.
Speaker 1: So you never want to see that when someone's you know,
Speaker 1: gives everything they have towards this heartbroken, heartbroken for missing
Speaker 1: game one. No, you're heartbroken if somebody doesn't get to
Speaker 1: play again this postseason. Heartbroken, you know, Hey, I'm disappointed
Speaker 1: that he had a bow out. James Harden's playing tonight.
Speaker 1: He's not playing tonight. Can't see that. I don't know
Speaker 1: if there's official designation, but he's not playing camp can't
Speaker 1: see it at all. Let's go around the room. What
Speaker 1: we learn on this Ward nominated program. By the way,
