1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. We gotta start with the latest from the NBA. 3 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,640 Speaker 1: We'll get to Steph Curry in a couple of seconds, 4 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: as everybody waiting with bated breadth for the result of 5 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: the MRI of Nuggets star point guard Jamal Murray, who 6 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: went down in immediate pain after he heard his left 7 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,279 Speaker 1: knee driving to the basket last night in the last 8 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: minute of the Warriors win over the Nuggets. And it 9 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: was really difficult. It was a play where he was 10 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: going in for hoop. They were down seven. He comes 11 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: down on his left leg and it immediately crumples. And 12 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,239 Speaker 1: here's how it sounded. Rebound down at Jamal Murray less 13 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,480 Speaker 1: than a minute ago. Three pointer would be nice. Murray 14 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: right to the rack, gets hammered and he'll go to 15 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: They're just gonna say he lost that. That's a challenge. Hurt. 16 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 1: Jamal's hurt, and he's trapped his left knee and he 17 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: is in severe amount of pain. This is a worst 18 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: case scenario sports fans there it is. Nuggets Radio Network 19 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: Mike Malone came out to check on Murray right after 20 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: they brought out a wheel chair. He was able to 21 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: get off the court, but could put no pressure on 22 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: his leg. Malone said after the game, the locker room 23 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: is incredibly down right now, there's no answer. Will wait 24 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 1: for the imaging, and I'll tell you what, Jay. This 25 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: is the Nuggets team where I remember seeing that, you know, 26 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: in the bubble into the playoffs last year, and I 27 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: said many times the era of the Jazz and the 28 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: Nuggets in the West is coming, all right. They got 29 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: young players that have locked in. They're locked in for 30 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: a few years and their era is coming. There two 31 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: terrific teams and here come the Nuggets who have been 32 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: playing extremely well. But if something happens, they lose Jamal Murray. 33 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: I don't know where they go from here. I mean, 34 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: this is it's such a huge blow, devastating for the Nuggets. 35 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: And you know, Jason, I had said on I have 36 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: this podcast straight Fire on iHeart, and I had said 37 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago after the Aaron Gordon trade 38 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: that the Nuggets were the best team in the West. Now, 39 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: obviously Lebron and a d are not healthy, but you 40 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: look at that Nuggets team and how they played after 41 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: getting Aaron Gordon, and this team was stacked. I mean, 42 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: they were just torching teams. Murray. Of course, we know 43 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: how heroic he was in the bubble. That series he 44 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: had against Utah when they were down three one one 45 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: of the most heroic series I've seen in a while 46 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: from a player two games over where he dropped fifty 47 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: points three over forty. I feel awful for Denver right now. 48 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: This is just terrible news, very sad to start the 49 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: show with. Yeah, now, hopefully it's something where it could 50 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,119 Speaker 1: be just a hyper extension and it's you know, it's 51 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: it's a couple of weeks or a few weeks and 52 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: he's back for the playoffs. But all of those non 53 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 1: contact things that happen, you just hold your breath and wondering. 54 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: He just means so much to this team, you know, 55 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: as good as Yokich has been playing, and he's become 56 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: a dark horse MVP candidate, well you know, one of 57 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 1: the one of one hundred and fifty guys in the 58 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: MVP candidate. You know, right now, Yokis is thirteams now, 59 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: he's six, now he's seven, and he's been terrific. But man, 60 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what Murray makes this team going. He's 61 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: the guy in the playoffs obviously when guard play becomes 62 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: more important that he does have those huge games, and 63 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: I don't know where. I don't know where Denver goes 64 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: without him. Yes, they are sta that's great, and you know, 65 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 1: who knows, maybe they can figure something out. But man, 66 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,679 Speaker 1: they lose him. It's it's hard to look at the 67 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: Nuggets and say, hey, Nuggets can get out of the West. 68 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: I mean because this is a loaded Western conference. This 69 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: is be loaded one through six in the West this year, 70 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: and I don't know how they get out of it. Well. 71 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: In addition, you you touched on it, the MVP situation 72 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,119 Speaker 1: is very up in the air, right, I mean, Lebron's 73 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: been hurt, Joel Embiad's been hurt. You know. I had 74 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 1: Frank Sola come on my radio show Saturday morning and 75 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: said Yokich was his number one, you know, And you 76 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: know I saw a great stat Jason, forty eight of 77 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: the sixty five MVPs have come from number one seats, well, 78 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: Denver and sniff in the one seed without Jamal Murray. 79 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: So can Yokich win the award? Do we have to 80 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: go back to Joel Embiid who's injured, And you know 81 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: they're fighting for the number one seed in the East. 82 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: I don't really know where we go. Listen, people aren't 83 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: gonna want to hear this. A guy named Zion Williamson 84 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: won't win the MVP. But oh my gosh, have you 85 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: seen what the guys been up to? Like the NBA 86 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: this year, Jason, I don't know how big of a 87 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: regular season guy you are. You know, I joked that 88 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: life is too short to watch January college basketball. But 89 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: NBA in the regular season this year has been pretty sweet. 90 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: I mean, so many good comebacks. Guy's dropping forty five 91 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: fifty at the drop of a hat. And Jamal Murray 92 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: is a joy to watch. I wish him a very 93 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: speedy recovery. Yeah, it's weird with with MVP. It's like, 94 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: as soon as we say, all right, this guy's the 95 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: front runner, something happens and they wind up getting hurt 96 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: and or you know, because it was embeat for a while, right, 97 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: and then he got hurt, and then it was hardened 98 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: and it was okay, Harden, look at what he's doing. 99 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 1: And then it was okay, now Harden's out and the 100 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: Nets win without him. So, you know, as well as 101 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: he's playing, you know, can he really be the MVP. 102 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: Then it became Yoki. For a bit it was Lebron, 103 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: but then Lebron got her. So it's like every every 104 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: every few weeks, every month, there's like a new flavor 105 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: of the month. Damian Lillard cracked that list maybe at 106 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: some point, and some people are against that, but his 107 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: clutch numbers have been insane. I will just add this 108 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: on the Nuggets. You know, Jason, last year they had 109 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: Gary Harris, Jamal Murray starting in the backcourt in the playoffs, 110 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: and then Jeremy Grant at small forward. Well, if Jamal 111 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: Murray's gone, all three starters will be toast from last 112 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: year's great playoff run. Okay, Jeremy Grant obviously thriving in Detroit. 113 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 1: Gary Harris just got shipped to Orlando, and now Jamal 114 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: Murray's hurt. So this Denver postseason run may have just 115 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: gone up and smoke. If Jamal Murray's out any significant 116 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,799 Speaker 1: amount of time, who guys that West is absolutely loaded? 117 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: All right, We'll keep you posted on the Jamal Murray story. Again. 118 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: An MRI today, a very shaken Nuggets locker room, and 119 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: this shakes up the playoffs clearly, but also in this 120 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: game last night, we saw a big history from Steph Curry, 121 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: who now becomes the all time Golden State Warriors leading scorer. 122 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: He passes a guy maybe you've heard of. Take a 123 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: listen seventeen thousand, seven hundred and eighty two per Curry 124 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: triple drive. Curry goes in, drives the lap. It's up 125 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: and good, and there he is. Stepfred Curry now the 126 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: all time leading scorer hit Warriors franchise history. He shines 127 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: brighter than the Big Dipper if he passes Will Chamberlain 128 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: into history. Warriors Radio Network on the call part of 129 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: a fifty three point night for Steph Curry, and you know, 130 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: really quick he was. For a hot minute, Curry was 131 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: the was an MVP favorite because it was the storyline 132 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,239 Speaker 1: of boy, if Curry can lead the league in scoring 133 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: and somehow single handedly get the Warriors into the playoffs. 134 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: Oh maybe Steph Curry's the MVP if he has this 135 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: kind of here. But clearly the Warriors are just hoping 136 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,799 Speaker 1: to get in the play in games at this point. 137 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: I look at this Jay and I see this big 138 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: achievement from Steph Curry, and I go. Warrior fans have 139 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: to enjoy it now. Because eventually in the next year 140 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: he's gonna go play someplace. Whoa I mean, look, I 141 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 1: know we like to think of him as a forever 142 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: Warrior in certain players, I can think of his forever 143 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: players by Look, everybody changes now in the NBA. Everybody 144 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: goes someplace, and the Warriors the era of their dynasty 145 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: is over and you're not going to get big players 146 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: to come join them. Now. It's an aging Curry. You 147 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: don't know what Clay Thompson's gonna be like when he 148 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: comes back. And Curry wants to keep winning. Yeah, he 149 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: hasn't wanted to sit here in hoist jumpers and score 150 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: thirty five a night into obscurity, you know, into his 151 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: midden late thirties. So eventually he's gonna know, I have 152 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: to go someplace else, and he'll leave ast and whatever happens. 153 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: Just like Lebron leaving Cleveland, he goes back. He won 154 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: the championship there, so he's always going to be Cleveland's 155 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: favorite son. He'll always be a Warrior, but he'll go 156 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: someplace else. For the last few years of his career. 157 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: He'll go and team up with somebody. Lebron's already try 158 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: and accord him. He'll be that shooter, you know, a 159 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: much better version of a Ray Allen near the end 160 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: when he was such a big deal on title teams. 161 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: And I say, after one more year, Steph Curry is 162 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: gonna say I can't just keep getting my ass beat 163 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: like this, you know, every single night and losing, and 164 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: he goes someplace else. Right, Jason, I'm signaling for a 165 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: twenty second time out here. I cannot believe you just 166 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: disrespected Steph Curry and put him in the same class 167 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: as Ray Allen? Are you kidding me? A two time 168 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: MVP and Curry. I don't think he's going anywhere. I mean, 169 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: it's fun to think, like, hey, hey, Lebron, he's gonna 170 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: recruit Curry, but like Curry is the Warriors. When you 171 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: are the guy and you've won three chips and two MVPs, 172 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: you don't go to play with other guys. They could 173 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: play with you. And there was an interesting report out yesterday, 174 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: and again I don't want to give something that's not 175 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: from Woe a lot of credibility, but there is speculation 176 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: that Kawhi Leonard is not thrilled with the direction of 177 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: the Clippers. Okay, we saw their second round gag job 178 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: against Denver last year, Paul Georgia sign long term. They 179 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: had to because they gave up all those picks. Kawhi 180 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: not so much. And if they happen to go down 181 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: in the second round again, Clippers lose to I don't 182 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: know whoever, Lakers, Sons, Jazz, whoever it is, is Kawhi 183 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: sticking around and the report is that, hey, the Warriors 184 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: would then be interested in pursuing Kawhi. Leonard and I listen, 185 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: I think it's fun to talk about Curry teaming up 186 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: with some people. I just I mean they were He 187 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: was able to recruit Kevin Durant to come play with him, 188 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: and now he's gonna go play with someone else. I'm sorry, 189 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: I don't buy it. I can't imagine him going to 190 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: Milwaukee to play with Jannis or Phoenix with Booker and 191 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: Chris Paul. No way. I can see someone wanting to 192 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: go to Golden State. You know that it's a desirable 193 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: the Bay Area, lovely part of the country, a little expensive, um, 194 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: but Jason, I can't see Curry leaving. You really think 195 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: there's possibility there because because everybody does. Could you see 196 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: Lebron leaving Cleveland. No, but Lebron left Cleveland. Well, no 197 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: way to say, hold on, it's Cleveland, come on happy. Yeah, 198 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: but he's from there. I mean, he's from you know. 199 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 1: You know. Look, I love New York, but I left, 200 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: you know, I left for Los Angeles. I wanted Son 201 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: and I didn't want snow anymore, and all these things 202 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: I left for LA. Look, everybody leaves in the NBA now. 203 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: And if it was four years ago and Steph Curry 204 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: is twenty eight, twenty nine, and here's a you know, 205 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: Clay Thompson is the other splash brother and he's still 206 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: a guy that can score twenty in any quarter. Hey, 207 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: and Draymond Green is still a guy that actually shoots 208 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: the basketball and and affects the game, then yeah, that's 209 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: still a big, a big draw for anybody. But now 210 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: you're looking at a team in which Draymond Green clearly 211 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: isn't the same guy. You don't know what Clay's gonna be. 212 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: And here's stuff going, Okay, go here and play with stuff. 213 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: Are you really going to jump in and join a 214 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: title contending team or are you joining a team that's 215 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,559 Speaker 1: kind of wheezing along a bit? And you're hoping to 216 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: catch lightning in a bottle. I mean, look, I'm with 217 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: you on how great it is in Golden State. We 218 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: don't give them credit for the culture they created, for 219 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: what Steve Kerr was able to do and take this 220 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,439 Speaker 1: team and Steph Curry, who was an all star caliber player, 221 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: turn him into one of the greatest shooters we've ever seen, 222 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 1: where he scores suddenly thirty a game. But that was 223 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: four years ago, and now it's gonna be Okay, guess what, 224 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: you have to come here to a bigger market, whether 225 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: it's La, whether it's someplace else. I mean, look, he 226 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: may want to. He may say, you know what, hey, 227 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: let's all team up someplace else. Let's go to Charlotte. 228 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: You know, I can get a couple of guys and 229 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: go to Charlotte and play, and I can go there 230 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: and I can go back. All these things would be 231 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: on the table for him. And because everybody goes and 232 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: we've seen this, I can't put it past for a second. 233 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: Steph Curry with, Yeah, so he is from Charlotte, And 234 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: there was some chatter that, oh, maybe he wants to 235 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: go home the way Lebron went home to Cleveland. I 236 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: just I look at ownership, front office, coaching, that stuff matters. 237 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: I think two stars, and you know, I don't want 238 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: to act like too much of a loser here at 239 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: the outset. But when Durant went to Golden State, I 240 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: instantly went on Cowherd Show and I was pumping up 241 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant's the best player in the league. And Durant 242 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: saw it on Instagram and we start talking and open 243 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: a little friendship there. And I asked him point blank, like, 244 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: what are you doing going to the Knicks? Why? Why 245 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: would you go to the Knicks. This was when everybody 246 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: was speculating he would leave Golden State for the Knicks. 247 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: And he essentially said, what do I care about the owner? Like, 248 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: what do I care about that? I'm you know, essentially, 249 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: I'm Kevin Durant. I'm bigger than that. But notice he 250 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 1: didn't go to the Knicks. He went to the Nets 251 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: because Kyrie Irving went there, and you know, they were 252 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: able to pick whoever they wanted as their coach. To 253 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: an extent, I think Durant had a large say in 254 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: bringing on Steve Now we work with in Golden State. 255 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: But you know, you could argue, yeah, that there is 256 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: some say in the players. But I find it really 257 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: hard to believe that Steph Curry would bail on Golden State. 258 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: I think it's easier for him to recruit guys there 259 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 1: than to Charlotte, although Charlotte is one of the best 260 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: stories in the league. LaMelo Ball, Gordon Hayward, Scary, Terry Rosier, 261 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: um Man. That that would be I don't even know 262 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,719 Speaker 1: where that would rank. That would probably be up there 263 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: with Lebron's decision to go from Cleveland to Miami. Right now, 264 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: let me ask you, are you sure you were actually 265 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 1: friends with Kady and it wasn't a burner again? Yes, no, yeah, 266 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: it was indeed Duran yes, uh, yeah, I know he 267 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: has multiple burners. Um. But and again I am a 268 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: Curry fan. I should probably preface that. Um. You know, 269 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: I started a podcast way back when I was I 270 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: started this website, The Big Lead, and I had a 271 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: podcast there. The first guest I had was Steph Curry. 272 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: Before he had signed that like seventy eight million dollar 273 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: deal he had, he had been injured in his early 274 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: years in Golden State. That was when you could get 275 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 1: him on your podcast. And I've been such a huge 276 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: fan of Curry. I ran to him at my gym 277 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: two summers ago after he had the injury. Super nice 278 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: guy and I'm just a huge fan of him on 279 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: and off the court. This guy's done so much for 280 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: the league and he's a great ambassador for the Bay Area. 281 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: He's the greatest guy in that franchise history. You know, 282 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: no disrespect to Wilt and Rick Barry and all those 283 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 1: other guys. It's Curry right, He is the franchise. Thanks 284 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: for listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast. Be sure 285 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: to catch us live every weekday morning nine until noon 286 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: eastern six to nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, and 287 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: you can find us on the iHeartRadio app at FSR 288 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 1: or stream us live on the Peacock app. As far 289 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: as Aaron Rodgers goes, now, we get it on Aaron Rodgers. 290 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: You know you brought up the story last hour that 291 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: you know now there's more evidence of him beefing with 292 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: his general manager. This on the heels of how successful 293 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: his Jeopardy run has been so far and talking about 294 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: how we'd love to do it because it's only a 295 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: certain amount of time a year. And then we had 296 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: an agent way in a day ago saying, hey, the 297 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: reason the Packers aren't moving so fast and free agency 298 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: and didn't move for new players is because of Aaron 299 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: Rodgers contract. And clearly they could have done things earlier 300 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: in the year to make things better and commit to 301 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: Rogers long term. You know, I feel like everybody is 302 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: missing the boat. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. 303 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is biding his time around. He's like a 304 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: cobra that is just gonna lay in wait, and then 305 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: he's gonna suddenly pop up and say, you know what, guys, 306 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: you're trading me and you're trading me to Team X 307 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna sit home in Northern California until you 308 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: do it right. Just because this has kind of gone 309 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: away doesn't mean that Aaron Rodgers is suddenly well he's 310 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: cool with everything that goes on in Green Bay. He's not. 311 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: He's not been cool with it since Jordan's Love was 312 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: drafted and in the Packers. As good as Aaron Rodgers is, 313 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: they want him out. They know they want because they 314 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: would have resigned said listen, let's do something with your 315 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: new deal. You just won the MVP, Let's keep you around, 316 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: Let's do something team friendly. Let's get you a lot 317 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: of money, but let's help out. There's been none of that, right. 318 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: It's just like it was in New England where the 319 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: Patriots wanted Tom Brady to leave, and Tom Brady left. 320 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: They wanted him gone because Belichick was sick of trying 321 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: to plan things around Brady, and Brady was sick of 322 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: the Belichick way, so they wanted him gone. The same 323 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: thing as going on in Green Bay. And you know, yes, 324 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: over the course of last month or so to Shaun 325 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: Watson and well until recently and Russell Wilson have been 326 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: getting the lion's share of the attention his quarterbacks who 327 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: were unhappy. But trust me, this Rogerston is going to 328 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: come up when he's got all the cashe and the 329 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: leverage in the world. And maybe it's right before the draft, 330 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: maybe it's right after the draft, but he knows he 331 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: wants out and he's gonna make that demand and say, 332 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: you know what, you are trading me and I have 333 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: played my last down as a Green Bay Packer and 334 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: he's gonna do it. He's gonna go someplace else and 335 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: he's gonna play the last four or five years of 336 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: his career and it's gonna be like Peyton Manning going 337 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: to the Broncos, where, Hey, I'm gonna go someplace good 338 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: and I'm going to be able to achieve and get 339 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: to Super Bowls and win. I saw what just happened 340 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: with Tom Brady and Tampa, and that's the time Brady 341 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: effective boy. They stopped doing things for him in New 342 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: England and he was there for a long time. He 343 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: goes to a new team that does everything for him, 344 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: keeps all his weapons around. Why am I not being 345 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: treated that way? Raron Rodgers saying why why are you 346 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: not doing that for me? Just like Russell Wilson saying 347 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: why are you not doing that for me? This Aaron 348 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: Rodgers story is one of those things that's a slow boil. 349 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: Right now, It's gonna end with him saying you're trading me, 350 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: and I will sit home until you do it, and 351 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: you're never gonna see me again. Now the only fly 352 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: in the ointment and all of that right, and I 353 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: would agree Aaron Rodgers probably wants out sooner than later. 354 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: The only problem with all this is what has happened 355 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: in the last two years to the Packers. They went 356 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: to the NFC Championship both years. Last year, I believe 357 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers won the MVP. So what on earth are 358 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: these bozos in the Packers front office thinking that the 359 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: grass is going to be greener than an NFC title 360 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: game appearance and the MVP of the league. Like, I 361 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: just that's the only problem. Like I can see them thinking, hey, 362 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: we're well, he's not enough of this Aaron Rodgers guy. 363 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: That's got our own guy in Jordan. I gotta put 364 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 1: my stamp on this team. This is still Aaron's team. 365 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 1: And this goes back to one of the larger issues 366 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: in sports. Jason is like power control. Whose team is 367 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: it right now? It's Aaron Rodgers team. Mike McCarthy was there, 368 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 1: They feuded. Aaron Rodgers wins, Aaron Rodgers goes right to 369 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: two NFC title games, wins the MVP award. How can 370 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 1: you get rid of Aaron Rodgers when he's still at 371 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 1: the height of his powers? How can you do that? 372 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: They do it differently in Green Bay. I mean, look, 373 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: they pushed Brett Farve out right, Brett Farr, who they 374 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: were okay with him for a long time, you know, 375 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: just the same thing with Brady And in New England 376 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: they were okay with Brady not coming to OTA's. They 377 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: were okay with Brady doing well, but then when he 378 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: started to get the other players to not go to 379 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: OTAs and suddenly Gronk was following him and not going. 380 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 1: Then that's when Bill Belichick said, you know what, he's 381 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: not buying into our philosophy anymore. So he's gone. And 382 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: you can make it look like Brady chose his new team, 383 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: but it really was. He was forced because the Patriots 384 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,919 Speaker 1: didn't make him a good offer and they basically shoved 385 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: him out the door. The Packers did the same thing 386 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: with Brett Farve. They were okay with his hey every 387 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 1: other year, I might retire kind of thing, and then 388 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,479 Speaker 1: they drafted Aaron Rodgers and suddenly what happened that at 389 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: a really short shelf life of hey, Brett, whatever you want, 390 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: man is fine. Remember when Brett Farve was going to retire, 391 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: they told him, you can come back to camp and 392 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: battle it out with Aaron Rodgers to win the starting job. 393 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: Wait wait, what I got to battle it out with 394 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: this kid from cal that hasn't seen it down in 395 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: the NFL. You know, I'm gone, and you trade me 396 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: someplace else. The Packers like, great, we have Aaron Rodgers, 397 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: the Packers go and get Jordan Love, and look, did 398 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,120 Speaker 1: they overreach for him? Yes, but he's a guy they 399 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: traded up in the first round to get. You don't 400 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: think he's going to get a chance to win the 401 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: job that they're gonna try to hand it to him. 402 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: Of course they are. So Aaron Rodgers is playing great, 403 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: but they're also kind of done with his act as well. 404 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 1: And so now it's at the end. Even though Rodgers 405 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 1: won the MVP, it's okay, we've kind of had it 406 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: with him. We want to push him out the door. 407 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: There are many things they could have done to make 408 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 1: nice with Aaron Rodgers and helped him out a bit, 409 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: but they've not. So you can tell their card are 410 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 1: on the table the same way. Now, should they push 411 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers out for Jordan Love? No? Are you kidding me? 412 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, do you think Jordan Loves going to 413 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: have a really good career? The guy the guy could be, 414 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 1: the guy could barely You couldn't even not that he 415 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: needed to get on the field, but he didn't even 416 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: show that. Hey, he's a guy that could take over 417 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers one day. Rogers still playing at a 418 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: high level. But that's irrelevant because they want him out 419 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 1: because the Packers think, Okay, we're done with this guy, 420 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 1: We're done with dealing with him. We're on this. We've 421 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: got to be onto somebody else after twelve, thirteen, fourteen years. 422 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: That's just how the Packers do things. Yeah, I look 423 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,199 Speaker 1: back at the Packers at the end of the far 424 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: varras so two thousand and four, they make the playoffs, lose, 425 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,479 Speaker 1: two thousand and five, no playoffs, six no playoffs. Two 426 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: thousand and seven they won a playoff game. But I 427 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: look at that and I'm like, well, they were good 428 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: with Brett Farve at the end, but they were not 429 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: like Super Bowl contender good, like these Packers right now? 430 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: Who are the best teams in the NFC? Tom Brady 431 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: and the Bucks obviously are number one, and after that, like, 432 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: I think you've got to say the Packers are the 433 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: second best team in the in the NFC. Seattle's on 434 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: the downward ojectory. I just I have a problem seeing 435 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: how the Packers are going to push out Aaron Rodgers 436 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 1: right after an MVP when they've gone to two straight 437 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: NMC title games. Like farv was good and they were 438 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 1: a playoff contender, but they're not a super Bowl contender 439 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: with Farve, like, you're risking probably never getting a job 440 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: again as a GM or a head coach if you 441 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: screw this up, don't you think? Yeah? But I don't think. 442 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: I don't think it matters. I don't think they see 443 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: it that way. They remember it's it's a much different 444 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: way the Packers do business than anybody else in the NFL. Right, 445 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: like Belichick could do it because well, you know what, hey, 446 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: people are giving me just as much credit for the 447 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: Super Bowls as Tom Brady. Right, we didn't start winning 448 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: till I got here. I won with many different players, 449 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: so he had the cache to do it, So you 450 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 1: understand that Green Bay, it doesn't make sense. But it's like, 451 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: this is just kind of how we do business. No 452 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: one player is bigger than the team. When when we're 453 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: done with you, we're done with you and we're moving on. 454 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 1: And it doesn't make sense, but this is the way 455 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: the Packers do it. And like I said, I disagree. 456 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 1: I think you want to keep Aaron Rodgers and keep 457 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 1: him happy because the guy's great, But this is just 458 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: how they do it. And somebody's gonna get really lucky 459 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: because he's gonna demand the one team to be traded to, 460 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,439 Speaker 1: and that's the team they're gonna trade him to. And 461 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: that's maybe it's the forty nine ers. Maybe this is 462 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: what you know? Maybe who knows, Maybe this could be 463 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 1: a case where hey, you're giving us Aaron Rodgers and 464 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: here's the third pick in the draft. Good luck with 465 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: Mac Jones. You know it could be. But it's gonna 466 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: be something, and it's gonna be sudden, and it's going 467 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: to be a strike by Aaron Rodgers where he can 468 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 1: get the Packers just scrambling all over the place, going 469 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 1: what do we do? Aaron Rodgers told us he's not 470 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: going to play for us again, it's right before the draft. 471 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:32,719 Speaker 1: What do we do? What do we do? And then 472 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: here comes John Lynch going, hey, you guys, what do 473 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: you think about about this trade? What do we think 474 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: about something like this? Or it's a different team, And 475 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: that's how what's gonna happen. He is a smart dude 476 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: and he is going to play that card when he's 477 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: got the most leverage. That's what's gonna happen. Jason, do 478 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 1: you know that Bruno Mars song Treasure Trip Okay, So 479 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 1: my wife and I I'm sure you're married. You know, 480 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 1: I'm sure you know taking credit for doing things, and 481 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: my wife and I made a joking song out of 482 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: treasure at it. That's just what you want, right who. 483 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: Everybody wants credit for doing things, and you look at 484 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: the situation in Green Bay. Everybody's giving Aaron Rodgers a credit. 485 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: Nobody's acknowledging this new coach to the floor. Right, he's 486 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: two years and he's wont to gone to two NFC 487 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: title games. But it's like it's nothing he's doing. It's 488 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: all Rogers. I'm just telling you, if he really thinks 489 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: he can do this without Aaron Rodgers and Jordan loves 490 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: the guy, bro, you're not gonna be long for the 491 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: NFL at least that's my opinion. I just don't think 492 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: that's gonna work.

He is out indefinitely, and you know, look, 541 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: when you have a torn ACL, this means you're going 542 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: to be out for the rest of the season. And 543 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: suddenly a Nuggets team that was rising now looks to 544 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: try to find some way forward in a loaded Western conference. 545 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 1: This changes everything in the NBA and the Western Conference 546 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: right now.

Hey, So, what's your 552 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 1: reaction this Jamal Murray news. I know it's new. It 553 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: just came in. Torn acl after what happened last night 554 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: for one, and prayers up for Jamal Murray and him 555 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: his mental state, being his family and everything. It's just, 556 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: you know, injury is just the ugly head of sports 557 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 1: that we, you know, don't always talk about. And what's 558 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 1: even Saturdays that Jamal is one of the young emerging 559 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: stars in our league. And I know, the biggest questions 560 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 1: with Jamal a guy who I competed against even at 561 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: a young age when he was he was just headed 562 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: out of high school, you know, playing for the Canadian 563 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: national team. You questioned his consistency. You knew he could 564 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 1: score the basketball, but it really had looked like Jamal 565 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: had taken that next step. It was kind of pushing 566 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: the customer superstardom when he knocked out the Utah Jazz 567 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,199 Speaker 1: out the playoffs, shoot knocked the Clippers out. You know, 568 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: he made shot after shot after shot and looked like 569 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: this was going to be a run for the Nuggets 570 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: to go on. This absolutely impacts the Western Conference. You 571 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: see the windows just start to open up, the Lebron 572 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: James and Anthony Davis in the Lakers, in the Clippers. 573 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 1: Because I'm gonna tell you one thing, if you're the Clippers, 574 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 1: they just come out and they just they just put 575 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: hands on the Clippers. Ain't nothing worse than being up 576 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: and losing the league. So you know, I don't want 577 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: to say the Clippers are throwing the party at someone 578 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: else's expense, but you know there's even more a sense 579 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 1: of urgency behind behind what that team can come out 580 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: and do. But like I said, before we even get 581 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 1: to the talk, the sports talk just present with Jamal 582 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: Murray and his overall well being and you wish some 583 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,199 Speaker 1: healthy and speedy recovery. Hey, what's up? Ryan? Let me 584 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: ask you this. We know the league had the shortest 585 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: offseason in sports history, shorter than any offseason for baseball, football, 586 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: you name it. And they want to condense all these 587 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: games here in April to make up for the losses 588 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,719 Speaker 1: due to COVID And does the league need to really 589 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: look at how it handles the schedule because they are 590 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: backloading these schedules in April when there's no NFL, no 591 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: March madness, and I do wonder we've seen a ton 592 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: of stars injured this year. They should Does the league 593 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: bear some responsibility for this? And do they need to 594 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: reassess the scheduling and maybe even the season length? Not 595 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: even close? When when the players come to the table 596 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: and they want that money in a salary cap to 597 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: go up, and you know you want twenty million and 598 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,239 Speaker 1: twenty five billions at thirty millions, there's no there's no 599 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: complaints there. I think the responsibility falls upon the teams. 600 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 1: You know, for instance, to Los Angeles Lakers at Salt, 601 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 1: they did not force Anthony Davis back to a speedy 602 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,640 Speaker 1: or Lebron James to you know, a speedy time. All 603 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: those guys are taking their time because they know how 604 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: important and valuable they are to their organization. The Lakers 605 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,679 Speaker 1: went out the guy the two pretty much six men 606 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: of the Year in Schroder in Herrell to kind of 607 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 1: shore up their events. So you had to kind of 608 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 1: prepare for the storm knowing that you had a short 609 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 1: off season and you can't load your stars with the 610 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: same type of minutes. And with COVID the short off season, 611 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: you are seeing the effect. Look at the Miami Heat 612 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: and the slow start that they came out to. Those 613 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: teams that made long runs in the bubble are coming 614 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: out and feeling a bit. Ultimately, at the end of 615 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: the day, you know why the league is able to 616 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: pay players so much because they get so much from 617 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: from the sponsors, And when you cut out the sponsors 618 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: games and they can't make the money that they're making, 619 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: they might not be as quick to get the revenue 620 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: to the league as they once would. You don't want 621 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: to go out and lose a big time partner like 622 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: a Gatorade or a Nike or a McDonald's. You want 623 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: to make good on your half of the bargain. So 624 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: when you're talking money and you're talking business, that's the 625 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: language that's spokens and you want to get back on track. 626 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: You don't want to have a funky, weird season where 627 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: we're starting, you know, in December always and people are 628 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: throwing out and starting December or starting turpy are always. 629 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: This is just good. No, it's not good because there's 630 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: money that players are used to making and it's part 631 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: of the ridders of the season and it's why hats 632 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: off to the Lakers and teams that have been willing 633 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: to dig into their bench. But unfortunately, yeah, we've seen 634 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: injuries and we've seen it Harbor and hit the top 635 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: teams in the league that went the furthest Ryan. How 636 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: much of it this is something else we got into. 637 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: How much of it is players playing too much basketball 638 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: in the off season because some of these guy you know, 639 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: they finished and then you know, you see like Lebron 640 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: win a championship and then a couple of days later, 641 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: it's hey, look at this Donkey had when he and 642 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: Wade and these guys are playing bets, Like, dude, really, 643 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: you're you're going to play and pick up you know, 644 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: up and down the floor. I mean, is it too 645 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: much basketball in the off season? I actually counteract that, 646 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: you know, you know, i'd say as a as a 647 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: as a guy who played ten years, not forty five. 648 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: I'd love to play forty five years at least, said 649 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: and I'll take the forty five. But you know, you 650 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: got to sharpen your skills in the all season. And 651 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: some of the best seasons that I ever had as 652 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: a pro, I kid, you not were when I played 653 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: either USA basketball, I competed in a full JUW league 654 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: season and I wasn't just kind of standing around. But 655 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 1: if anything, it's backwards these players now they don't play basketball, 656 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,479 Speaker 1: they don't play pickup ball, they don't get out there 657 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 1: in the off season and play. You know that. It's 658 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: it's really a lost art these guys. So maybe a 659 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: mix where these guys all they do is train and 660 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: get up shots, so they may need to play more 661 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: basketball to condition themselves. Lebron James isn't the ten days 662 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: off because his body is routine. Just go and play 663 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,959 Speaker 1: and play and play, and his body clock. That's what 664 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: it speaks to. So I don't think that these guys 665 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: should be playing less basketball possible. We played more? Oh wow, Ryan, geez, 666 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: play more. I want to say, I'm gonna push back 667 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: against your Does the NFL bear any responsibility, Like you're 668 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 1: looking at a short term gain for long term pain. 669 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: If you're like, hey, we need that money because an 670 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 1: ACL injury to a scoring machine who's a shooting guard. 671 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: I know that the improved science and medicine, Yeah, these 672 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: guys are recovering quicker and it's almost the same. But 673 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: I'm not so sure about that. I don't know that 674 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: I would take a little bit of a a month. Who 675 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: told you to run? Who told you to run your 676 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: guy in for the ground. So as as a team, 677 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta load manage your guys. And even 678 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 1: if they owned a towty six twenty seven years old, Jay, 679 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,239 Speaker 1: you got a load manager, right. I think that's that's 680 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 1: on the team, that's on the coach, that's on the 681 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: training staff. With all due respect, So the NBA backloaded 682 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: the schedule that everybody's playing four games a week, basically 683 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: three or four games a week in the month of April. 684 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: So in the middle of that, he didn't playoff Race 685 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: in the West. Hold up, you don't want to happen 686 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: during the lockout? What's that? So when we had the 687 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: NBA's lockout, you remember it, right, Yeah, So we're used 688 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 1: to a back to back and all we do is 689 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: cry and complaint of back to backs. When we came back, 690 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: we had triple back to backs game game game, And 691 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: you know what, Jason, as a pro, if you're not 692 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: conditioned to get in and get your work in on 693 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: the days off the same way on the work day, 694 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: that's your problem. When I will play, I would go 695 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: a full month without happening a day off because the 696 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,479 Speaker 1: very next day when we're not playing, I'm in there 697 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 1: a bust of but to do what I need to 698 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: do after a game. If I play big missiness minutes, 699 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: I go rest. If I didn't play big minutes, I 700 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: go get on the bike and run and train. So 701 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: if these are guys aren't taken care of and conditioning 702 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 1: their bodies, I don't want to say it's on them, 703 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: but it's part of the business. Jay. And as a team, 704 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: if you don't have the temperature of your star, and 705 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: he's fatigue and he's I don't know the situation with 706 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 1: Jamal Murray. Sometimes there's freak accidents, but you gotta be 707 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: attentive to your star's need and you can't run amens 708 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: to the ground. Yeah, but if you if you don't 709 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: have your star anymore, you know, how can you you? 710 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: You got nothing like without Jamal Murray. I know Yokis 711 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: is a Star Wars KVP candidates and nothing MVP can 712 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,959 Speaker 1: come on, dude. And the reason that the Kola Yokis 713 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 1: is the MVP candidate is strongly because the year that 714 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: he was making a big push, Murray had missed times, 715 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: Barton had missed times. He was the only consistent on 716 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: the Nuggets. Washer they're winning games, so don't tell me 717 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: they're restrict. Can't compare a big guys minutes to Jamal 718 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 1: Murray's minutes. Come on, Jaal Urra when you leave it. 719 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: You know, at one point in the year he led 720 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: the team in every statistical category points, rebounds, stills, assists, 721 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 1: block shots and I think he lost block shots that 722 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: Michael Porter Junior the last time. Look are you kidding me? 723 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: But who would you rather have Murray or Yokis. It's 724 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 1: not even a content. I think it's closer than the 725 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 1: experts thing. But again, you you can't compare the minutes 726 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 1: of a big guy like Yokis to those of Jamal 727 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: Murray who's chasing around usually the best supposing guard, and 728 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 1: he's creating off the pick and roll. You know, you'll 729 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: get your grandma facing the best Jamal Murray not chasing 730 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 1: the best supposing guard. They're hiding Jamala defense. I'm gonna 731 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 1: tell you that they're going to But that ain't his 732 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:15,320 Speaker 1: That ain't they're hiding Michael Porter Junior and Jamal Murray. Listen, 733 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: they doing that. That That ain't his strong suit. The other 734 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,839 Speaker 1: guys there to play defense. He there to get buckets, Okay, 735 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: hat his strong composito or whatever that guy's name is. 736 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 1: He can't guard a chair, Okay, to stop Jamal Murray 737 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 1: playing defense? He's man. That's going off. Now. Now, Ryan, 738 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 1: you're you're upsetting me because you're you're ruining my plan 739 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: of going to Fox Sports Radio and saying I need 740 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,759 Speaker 1: load management, Like I can't do five shows a week. 741 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 1: I need like four shows a week. Maybe you know 742 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: a couple of days. I need personal time, like Kyrie, 743 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 1: you know, I need something I can't keep doing five 744 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 1: times of change man. You I'm doing more radio and 745 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: doing more things like I can't do this like he 746 00:34:54,760 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 1: used to. Oh my god, Throne Management Radio load management 747 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 1: man Ryan Collins with us here Fox Sports Radio. Hey, 748 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,320 Speaker 1: really quick on this because we got into this a 749 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:11,240 Speaker 1: little bit earlier. Steph Curry fifty three last night, top 750 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: and Wilt Chamberlain. Now he's the all time leading scorer 751 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,439 Speaker 1: for Golden State. Does he stay with them long term 752 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 1: or in a year? Is he looking and he goes 753 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: someplace else? Because the era of the Warriors and winning 754 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: championships is over. I honestly can't see Steph Curry anywhere else. 755 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: And you know, you got to look at how indicative 756 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: of should he leave, of how he treated the time 757 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:33,800 Speaker 1: when he was out last year. This guy was itching 758 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,720 Speaker 1: to get back on the court. He hasn't lacked for effort, 759 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,479 Speaker 1: as we've seen last night. So I really can't see 760 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: Steph leaving the bay. This was a guy who you know, 761 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: grew up in Charlotte and was there with his dad. 762 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: And you know, Steph is a simple lifestyle type of guy. 763 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 1: But I will throw this out. If Steph Curry was 764 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,719 Speaker 1: to leave anywhere and go play somewhere, and I would 765 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 1: love to see him with Lebron and the Lakers, Don't 766 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: get me wrong, I would love to see that. It's 767 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,439 Speaker 1: gonna be Charlotte. He's gonna go back home. Charlotte is home. 768 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,800 Speaker 1: His dad works there in television on TV. I remember 769 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: when he was a young kid, a little guy. He'd 770 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: come and sit on the table and the training room table, 771 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 1: won't even say a people or a word to anybody, 772 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 1: and You're like, oh wow, that that is Steph. I 773 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: forgot he was in there, you know. But if he 774 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 1: goes anywhere be back home, it would be back home 775 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 1: to Charlotte. So I think if that is a move, 776 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,240 Speaker 1: then it would just be a home counting tour. If 777 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: anything more likely to leave Steph Curry or Kawhi Leonard 778 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 1: bolting the Clippers if they can't get out of the 779 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 1: second round this year. Oh um. I would say Kauai 780 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,399 Speaker 1: in the sense that it's tough because Kauhi's home. There's 781 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 1: not much more he can ask for and everything has 782 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,839 Speaker 1: been catered around him. So I really would say needed. 783 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 1: But I would say maybe Kali because he shoots to it. 784 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: I'm a drum riper reeven. You know right now, Hey, 785 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,279 Speaker 1: I logic out Steph Curry and why he made Binker 786 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:06,400 Speaker 1: feel somewhere half boy but kawhis like san Antonio Papovitch 787 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 1: rings Tim Duncan. I'm out guys like like if he 788 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 1: feels like there's another situation. He has the Clippers at Bay. 789 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 1: He can get up and go. We've seen Lebron James 790 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 1: do it and go other places. But the Clippers have 791 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 1: committed to building around Kawhi. But in comparative to Steph, 792 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,440 Speaker 1: as a laker of Kawhi going elsewhere, I would give 793 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 1: more of a chance to Kauai, even though I don't 794 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 1: think those guys would go on Twitter at the Ryan Hollins. 795 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 1: That's at the Ryan Hollands. Ten years in the NBA. 796 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 1: You see him on Fox on ESPN and a guy 797 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,759 Speaker 1: you tweeted the other day. The older he gets, the 798 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 1: more he appreciates his father's R and B classics. So 799 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: you can go go, you know, d Hugh tamer go 800 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,879 Speaker 1: listen to Candy Girl.
