Speaker 2: little bit of pesto for me as well. Who has
Speaker 2: it better than we do? Nobody? Yes, and we are
Speaker 2: cooking these on the tragger grill, just to let you know,
Speaker 2: because somebody might say, well, that doesn't sound like you're
Speaker 2: going to be cooking on a grill. Yes, yes, you

Speaker 2: Seaton poll question from hour one and then we'll head
Speaker 2: into hour two or one. We put up there.
Speaker 4: Would you rather be physically fragile or mentally disturbed? This
Speaker 4: is the Todd Fritz pole question. This is right now.
Speaker 4: Physically fragile has about the sixty three percent of that vote.
Speaker 4: We also have a very active replies in there for
Speaker 4: Dan or Alaski who said neither, which obviously is not
Speaker 4: an option, Jason Kelsey reminding him that's not an option.
Speaker 4: This is one of those poll questions that makes the
Speaker 4: like alpha male bro brain explode or I can't do neither.
Speaker 2: I would never are you calling out or lost?
Speaker 4: It's just a joke. It's just it's just a joke.
Speaker 2: We have to say that often though, with people who I.
Speaker 4: Don't really think there's anybody who wants to be either
Speaker 4: of those. That kind of thought that was implied, And.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Fritchie had a couple of poll questions Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 2: I was superstitious. Are you extremely a little bit about
Speaker 2: a few things? Not at all, that's just silly. I
Speaker 2: am superstitious about some things, and they they're random things.
Speaker 2: But you know, if I'm walking and you walking on
Speaker 2: sidewalk and you don't want to walk on the cracks,
Speaker 2: or if I'm playing baseball or softball and you're walking
Speaker 2: you jump over the white line. You know, there were
Speaker 2: little things. How many times I would dribble before I
Speaker 2: would take a free throw, Just little things like that.
Speaker 5: Yes, hun, what about a superstition that some consider good luck,
Speaker 5: but in the moment, it's really not.
Speaker 3: Like when the bird droppings hit your shoulder?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I never thought that. Or raining on your wedding day.
Speaker 3: How could that pass would be a good thing?
Speaker 2: No, yes, because it did rain on my wedding day.
Speaker 2: And all I know is there were a lot of
Speaker 2: tears and I gave I gave the hey, it's good
Speaker 2: luck to rain on wedding day, and then all of
Speaker 2: a sudden there's no response, just to look back, and
Speaker 2: I go, okay, all right, we'll go outside. What do
Speaker 2: you want for Father's Day? Cool presence, a nice dinner, golf, outing,
Speaker 2: trying new things, experimenting in the What are you doing, Tome?
Speaker 3: I think it needs to be one of the options.
Speaker 5: You don't have to pick it.
Speaker 3: It needs to be addressed. Okay.
Speaker 2: I think it is peace and quiet. Okay, I want
Speaker 2: to dress.
Speaker 6: I want you to be addressed, undressed.
Speaker 2: I want you to tell me what you want for
Speaker 2: father's death.
Speaker 5: I'm going to go try new things slash. Experimenting in
Speaker 5: the bedroom with a nice dinner a close second.
Speaker 2: But the weird thing is is you'll be experimenting in
Speaker 2: the bedroom by yourself. That's mad. That tradition, yeah, a
Speaker 2: tradition unlike any other.
Speaker 5: But if it's if it's average boring, you know, physical
Speaker 5: relations versus a nice chicken palm, I'll probably get the parm.
Speaker 2: Marvin, what do you want out of that list? Cool presence,
Speaker 2: a nice dinner at golf, outing, trying new things, experimenting
Speaker 2: in the bedroom, or piecing I feel like I'm Steve Harvey.
Speaker 2: Uh on family Fuse, I need Dan, I need Marvin.
Speaker 3: Let's put him here.
Speaker 2: This is a nice dinner, nice dinner seating. What about you?
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, dinner's good, all right, Paul.
Speaker 7: I like when the kids still at this age, write
Speaker 7: something up for dad, because that lasts.
Speaker 2: All right, cool presence. Yeah. I would probably take peace
Speaker 2: and quiet, that's all.
Speaker 7: So they leave the house and leave the house to you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I thought I had peace and quiet
Speaker 2: last night. And all of a sudden, all it takes
Speaker 2: is a drive by, and then somebody's like, so what's
Speaker 2: this game? Okay, it's Edmonton and it's Florida. Okay, what's
Speaker 2: it for the Stanley Cup? Who's Stanley? Well, Lord Stanley,
Speaker 2: Lord of what? And then I'm like, okay, sit down,
Speaker 2: pull up a chair, we'll watch a little hockey. And
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden they go that one team
Speaker 2: in the red is really better than the team that
Speaker 2: is in the white. I go, yeah, they're the defending champs. Okay,
Speaker 2: what do you get?
Speaker 8: I get?
Speaker 2: You get the Stanley Cup, Lord Stanley's Cup, that's what
Speaker 2: you get. Is it a cup? I go, yes, it's
Speaker 2: a yes, Marma, So.
Speaker 3: You don't want to see your family at all on
Speaker 3: Father's Day?
Speaker 2: No, I can. You know, I don't want to make
Speaker 2: it seem like I don't love them. I do like it.
Speaker 2: I do like them. I don't always like them, but
Speaker 2: I love them. But you know, just peace and quiet,
Speaker 2: that's all. Just sh nothing else. Hey, happy Father's Day.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Hey, we got you a card. Hey, thank you.
Speaker 2: Because they always go, we don't know what to buy you,
Speaker 2: I go, you know, peace and quiet, you know, how
Speaker 2: about a picture? How about a drawing, how about a painting? Anything?
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 2: My son gave me a grandson. And then I said
Speaker 2: to my daughters, you know, just try to compete with that,
Speaker 2: you know, can you give me something? They're not married,
Speaker 2: so no kids, but you know, no pressure either. And
Speaker 2: I got a grandson. What did you get me? I
Speaker 2: got you a Starbucks gift card? Once again, I'm in
Speaker 2: a family that is not the best gift giver. But
Speaker 2: even with my wife getting me a gift card at
Speaker 2: Starbucks for my birthday, and I'm thinking, all right, we
Speaker 2: have loaded up on a how much can you have?
Speaker 2: How much money can you put on a Starbucks gift card?
Speaker 2: Because I'm thinking, I'm I'm buying for everybody, and I did.
Speaker 2: I said that to the show. One morning, I go, hey,
Speaker 2: I got your Starbucks. Well, I go there and then
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, the barista says to me fifteen dollars.
Speaker 2: And I'm going, oh, okay, like to have fifteen dollars left,
Speaker 2: and he goes, no, you need I need fifteen dollars.
Speaker 2: I go how much was the gift card? And he goes,
Speaker 2: twenty dollars. I said to my what, I said, honey,
Speaker 2: you got me a twenty dollars gift card at Starbucks.
Speaker 2: I'd rather have nothing. I would I would be because
Speaker 2: I'm going in there, like, hey, I got all these drinks,
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden it's like fifteen dollars. I go,
Speaker 2: all right, I got fifteen left, all right, twenty dollars
Speaker 2: gift card.
Speaker 7: Twenty is late.
Speaker 2: Twenty is sad. Twenty is late twenty is sad. Twenty
Speaker 2: is regift. Yeah, twenty dollars Starbucks card is regifted. Prints
Speaker 2: on it, Yeah yeah, all right, Tim Legler, will Jonas
Speaker 2: coming up. But when they get you something that's personalized,
Speaker 2: when it's a painting and drawing, a photograph. That's when
Speaker 2: it's awesome, and I say, just do that. That's all
Speaker 2: I need. I don't need anything else. I've got everything.
Speaker 2: That's all I had. Treasure those give me just a picture,
Speaker 2: something special that you thought of. All right, Tony and
Speaker 2: Kentucky leads us off. By the way, we're keeping an
Speaker 2: eye on the US Open, and the folks on our
Speaker 2: social media were like, you said, this golf course was
Speaker 2: really tough, and I go, it is really tough. Look
Speaker 2: at Rice and the shambo, or Rory McElroy, Justin Thomas
Speaker 2: he three putted from four feet. It is really difficult.
Speaker 2: But they aren't professional golfers. If you hit it straight,
Speaker 2: put it on the green and you don't have big numbers,
Speaker 2: then you can have you know, under par round. But
Speaker 2: let's see where they are after four rounds. It's an
Speaker 2: extremely challenging golf course. And then you know, I had
Speaker 2: somebody say, oh, it's tough for you because you're not
Speaker 2: a good golfer. Yeah, it's going to be tough for
Speaker 2: everybody out there. And some will say it was unfair.
Speaker 2: The rough is unfair, the green said, you know, this
Speaker 2: is a US Open and Oakmont make makes no excuses here.
Speaker 2: Oakmont is saying, yeah, we know it's tough. We're the
Speaker 2: star here. This is the toughest golf course in America,
Speaker 2: and it's on display and we're proud that it is.
Speaker 2: Golfers know it. You can't go there and go man,
Speaker 2: I didn't know about that, or I didn't expect that.
Speaker 2: You know exactly what you're getting. And let's see how
Speaker 2: many people are under par after four rounds, because I
Speaker 2: don't think we'll have anybody under par.
Speaker 7: Yes, Paul, I've got a nice leaderboard for you. It's
Speaker 7: early on day two, but Brooks Kepka's on the leaderboards
Speaker 7: with Kim, Victor Hobland, John Rahm, Colin Morikawa, Adam Scott
Speaker 7: all in the top fifteen.
Speaker 2: JJ Spawn was with us at Pebble Beach a few
Speaker 2: years ago and he was a great interview. Remember him,
Speaker 2: how funny he was and he had the round of
Speaker 2: his life. Four under. Four under on that course is
Speaker 2: like eight under on other courses. You just don't put
Speaker 2: up those numbers. But we'll keep an eye on it.
Speaker 2: Another great day weatherwise. It looks like there, but you know,
Speaker 2: things will get a little windier at the greens. Get
Speaker 2: a little faster there, and the rough keeps growing by
Speaker 2: the way through the weekend. Tony in Kentucky, Hi Tony,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 8: Damn?
Speaker 9: Happy week Saturday.
Speaker 10: You're absolutely right about the radically too, and I had
Speaker 10: the perfect perfect market of thirty two too for Bouchet.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, once again, I'm going to workshop this,
Speaker 2: but the dan N's all in agreement saying no, it
Speaker 2: should stay at twenty to fifteen hundred yards. Okay, but
Speaker 2: I'm going to see Sandler later on today as I
Speaker 2: start to drop hints about what the next movie is
Speaker 2: going to be and Happy go more to I believe
Speaker 2: it is July twenty fifth, that's when I have a
Speaker 2: screening that I am invited plus one.
Speaker 5: By the way, yes, Tom, I saw it publicized along
Speaker 5: the boards during the Stanley Cup final. That was fun.
Speaker 5: They had that all across the thing.
Speaker 6: They super imposed that a number of times throughout the game.
Speaker 2: Mow in Arizona, Hi, Mo, it's on your mind today?
Speaker 2: Good morning, Dan Dnnette.
Speaker 8: I just want to start off wishing my life happy
Speaker 8: forty something birthday, and then I want to get in
Speaker 8: on your the movie that the unseeing guys. Let's go
Speaker 8: with colors that Sean Penn is just coming out. Don
Speaker 8: Cheitle's in it, Glenn Plumber, Damon Waynams, even Mario Lopez.
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know if I throw Mario Lopez in
Speaker 2: there as far as acting that, yes.
Speaker 3: Ma, But Robert Duvall was in there.
Speaker 2: Bobby Duvall, Yeah, you know him. No, but that's what
Speaker 2: people do with de Niro. It's Bobby de Niro or
Speaker 2: Bobby D. Those who are around those, you know, old
Speaker 2: time movie stars. You know it's Bobby Duvall, Oh, Bobby D.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 2: I haven't been around them. I don't even think. I
Speaker 2: don't think I've ever run into de Niro or Pacino.
Speaker 2: I don't think so well, I should say they haven't
Speaker 2: run into me. Of course. Brandon in Denver, Hi, Brandon,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9: Going on DP? First time? Long time? Six to a
Speaker 9: hard to fifty forty to get your wait up, So
Speaker 9: a couple of quick things. Happy Father's Day to you
Speaker 9: and the fella's everyone else out there. Mental Health Awareness
Speaker 9: month for everyone, so take care of yourselves. I also
Speaker 9: wanted to throw a quick whole question and then Otano
Speaker 9: Fritzy quick pole question who has been more clutch this postseason?
Speaker 9: Tyrese Holliburton or Leon drive title. And then for Fritzy Man,
Speaker 9: I compare Fritzy Fritzi Is to the DP show with
Speaker 9: the Lakers and Cowboys are at first a like there
Speaker 9: is no one who provides more content to your show
Speaker 9: that Fritzy does. He also just named the MVP three
Speaker 9: boy Fritzy.
Speaker 2: So thank you brand. Well, Fritzy does win Most Valuable
Speaker 2: Least Valuable dadhead just about every year.
Speaker 6: It's right along those physical and mental lines.
Speaker 3: And we were talking about before, right out of the.
Speaker 2: Middle, who has been more clutch? Leon Dreis's title, Well,
Speaker 2: he's had four overtime game winners in the postseason. That's
Speaker 2: never happened in the history of the NHL. And then
Speaker 2: he had six during the regular season. That's more than
Speaker 2: anybody's ever had in a single season in NHL history.
Speaker 2: What he's doing is historical. I think what Tyrese Halliburton
Speaker 2: is doing is having a coming out party where people
Speaker 2: are going, Wow, this guy is really good.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 2: I think he's had big moments. I don't think he's
Speaker 2: been great in this series, but he's had moments and
Speaker 2: I want him in the fourth quarter, and I didn't
Speaker 2: like where he's you know, critiquing the talking heads and
Speaker 2: you know, win the NBA Finals. You know, don't do
Speaker 2: that after you won a game and now you want
Speaker 2: to take some shots at the talking heads. Most of
Speaker 2: the talking heads played the sport and played at a
Speaker 2: higher level than you have and probably are Hall of famers.
Speaker 2: If you win and you want to say hey to
Speaker 2: the critics, eat it. Okay, fine, but you're you know,
Speaker 2: calling him out because nobody thought you were going to win.
Speaker 9: Just win that.
Speaker 2: That's the greatest scoreboard of all time. You don't have
Speaker 2: to say a word. All you have to do is
Speaker 2: go point up scoreboard. But don't do it mid series
Speaker 2: because it's gonna look silly. Okay, se comes back to
Speaker 2: win this, and then those talking heads are gonna say
Speaker 2: the Indiana wasn't ready for this or what happened to Indiana?
Speaker 2: You had it up to one on your home floor.
Speaker 2: So that's why I just be careful with the COO.
Speaker 2: You know, they the athlete will tell you, I don't
Speaker 2: listen to what you guys say. They know exactly they listen,
Speaker 2: or somebody listens and then tells them about it. That's
Speaker 2: what happens, laur It's Kevin Durant and he hears everything. Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 11: That's like when Kobe I think a reporter asked him, Hey,
Speaker 11: is the Celtics rematch a big deal to you? And
Speaker 11: before Game one he's like, no, it's just any other series.
Speaker 11: And then after they won a championship, he's like, I
Speaker 11: lie to you, guys, of course it's a big deal
Speaker 11: to me. He's like, I had to say it after
Speaker 11: we won a championship.
Speaker 2: Let me take a break. Timmy Legler is covering the
Speaker 2: NBA Finals for the Mothership. He'll join us under Pacers

Speaker 2: a poll question for hour two on this meat Friday
Speaker 2: seatan uh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: We have two of them working right now. We just
Speaker 4: put up there actually too. How superstitious are you extremely,
Speaker 4: a little or not at all? It is Friday, the thirteen,
Speaker 4: it is. It is most people are a little superstitious.
Speaker 4: Fifty seven percent. We also have up there, would you
Speaker 4: rather be physically fragile or mentally disturbed? Physically fragile is
Speaker 4: running away with that one sixty four percent. I'm a
Speaker 4: little surprised by that.
Speaker 2: Or you could be both, right, Tod, you can be both.
Speaker 5: You can And again, this is just a playful thing,
Speaker 5: so no one gets too sensitive, and we're not making
Speaker 5: fun of any conditions or problems.
Speaker 3: Let's say it's silly thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's mental health awareness month, so we just want
Speaker 2: to let everybody know or just have a little fun there, Okay.
Speaker 2: Jim Legler, ESPN, former NBA player and late night edition
Speaker 2: of Sports Center with Scott Van Pelt postgame coverage. So
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals legs is back on the program. So
Speaker 2: who's the favorite now?
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm not switching from OKC being the favorite.
Speaker 6: I understand. You know some people are starting to waver
Speaker 6: on that a little bit, and you know, we're caught
Speaker 6: up in this in this culture day and in sports.
Speaker 6: I'm sure you see it all the time, Like when
Speaker 6: you try to talk positively about one team, people on
Speaker 6: the other side automatically think somehow you're slamming their team
Speaker 6: by me saying I still think Oklahoma City is going
Speaker 6: to win the series.
Speaker 3: Take a shot at Indiana.
Speaker 6: I thought it would be a seven game series from
Speaker 6: the beginning because I had so much respect for Indiana's offense.
Speaker 3: They definitely got loose the other night.
Speaker 6: It's the first time in the series they really actually
Speaker 6: look like themselves offensively, and I think a lot of
Speaker 6: people think, Okay, problem solved. Indiana's figured this out, They've
Speaker 6: cracked the code, and they're good.
Speaker 8: To go now.
Speaker 6: I don't necessarily agree. I know what that Oklahoma City
Speaker 6: defense is that I watched all year. They're going to
Speaker 6: have a hell of a response tonight, and then I
Speaker 6: think they've got to make some adjustments. I think I
Speaker 6: think Mark Dagnol there's some things he's done so far
Speaker 6: that I haven't agreed with in this series, and I
Speaker 6: think he's gonna have to make some adjustments or they
Speaker 6: could be in trouble. So I think that you're going
Speaker 6: to see something different from them offensively, and certainly the
Speaker 6: defensive pressure that we've watched that team put on people
Speaker 6: all year, I think that's got to be on full
Speaker 6: display tonight. They understand falling down three to one, it
Speaker 6: could could lead to a dire situation for them.
Speaker 2: But can you get to this point in the season
Speaker 2: with the NBA Finals at stake and out coach the
Speaker 2: other coach?
Speaker 3: Can you out coach of me?
Speaker 6: I do think that there's you know, you're not talking
Speaker 6: about anything where it's like so obvious, but there are
Speaker 6: going to be decisions made on lineups, on substitution patterns,
Speaker 6: on what you run at certain times, adjustments to coverages.
Speaker 3: Those are the kind of things that I'm looking at.
Speaker 3: And I think for.
Speaker 6: Dagnault, who I think is, you know, one of the
Speaker 6: brightest guys I think I've ever talked to in this league.
Speaker 3: I didn't agree with the decision.
Speaker 6: Right off the bat to go with a smaller lineup
Speaker 6: and get away from what you differentiated yourself with against
Speaker 6: most of these teams. The reason you got Hertenstein in
Speaker 6: the off season was so that you could play the
Speaker 6: two big lineup with both guys being very versatile defensively
Speaker 6: and give teams a different look because you got thrown
Speaker 6: around in the postseason a year ago. That's the whole
Speaker 6: reason you got them. And now you gave Denver all
Speaker 6: kinds of problems with that lineup, those two guys together.
Speaker 6: And now you get to this series and you get
Speaker 6: the Indiana Pacers, and you took a look at them
Speaker 6: on film, and you go, you know what, I'm kind
Speaker 6: of worried about them. I'm worried about our ability to
Speaker 6: get back. I'm worried about our ability to cover them
Speaker 6: all over the floor, the way they spread you out
Speaker 6: and shoot the ball. So we're going to adjust before
Speaker 6: the series has started. We're making the first adjustment.
Speaker 3: It's a sixty eight win team. I disagreed with it,
Speaker 3: and he really hasn't gone back to it.
Speaker 6: They've only played ten minutes together the entire series, and
Speaker 6: they were plus seven when they play.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 6: It's a very small sample size, but it's a good
Speaker 6: sample size, and I think Indiana shooting something like twenty
Speaker 6: eight percent from the field when those two guys are
Speaker 6: on the floor together. So will it be more tonight?
Speaker 6: I think there's a good chance. Will he start him again.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 6: Maybe he's not gonna give in on that. Oh you know,
Speaker 6: I think we're better off the smaller lineup. I think
Speaker 6: that was a mistake going in. I also think it
Speaker 6: was a mistake last game playing Cason Wallace as much
Speaker 6: as you've been playing him. That's eighty minutes in three games.
Speaker 6: He's got seventeen total points. I know he's a good
Speaker 6: on ball defender. Aaron Wiggins just had eighteen points in
Speaker 6: game two. Comes back Game three, disappears, barely play him
Speaker 6: ten minutes, gets two shots, non factor, and they're trapping
Speaker 6: Shay all over the floor day and I think that
Speaker 6: theirs shots.
Speaker 3: To be had out of those traps.
Speaker 6: A higher level offensive player, maybe he makes Indiana pay
Speaker 6: for some of that blitzing on Shay. Instead they had
Speaker 6: Cason Wallace who was a far inferior offensive player, and
Speaker 6: so they only took twenty two threes in the game.
Speaker 6: They get shut down offensively. Is that another adjustment he makes.
Speaker 6: Maybe Wiggins gets more time again after that great game.
Speaker 6: He had a game too, and he barely saw him
Speaker 6: the other night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just trying to figure out. Also, Richard Jefferson brought
Speaker 2: this up. It was like eight thirty to go in
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter of the last game, and he said,
Speaker 2: look at the body language on Indiana. They were upright
Speaker 2: at the free throw line. Ok see, was holding their
Speaker 2: shorts there. This I mean, that's not typical in the
Speaker 2: NBA Finals where some team looks gassed and maybe maybe
Speaker 2: that's Indiana's pace that can you know, kind of wear
Speaker 2: you down.
Speaker 6: Well, it's there's no question He's right, they were gassed.
Speaker 6: I've never seen shake Gildas. Alexander looked at fatigued. I
Speaker 6: mean every whistle, every stoppage in play. In the fourth quarter,
Speaker 6: he bent over and grabbed his shorts and was taking
Speaker 6: deep breaths, trying to just compose himself. He had a
Speaker 6: play where he missed a shot and then ran back
Speaker 6: with Siakam and they threw it ahead to Siakam. Literally,
Speaker 6: Jaja didn't have the energy to even compete with him.
Speaker 6: He just got out of the way. It was a
Speaker 6: big play in the game. He let him have a
Speaker 6: layup uncontested, and it showed again his fatigue level. I
Speaker 6: think part of it for him, and the metrics all
Speaker 6: boured this out. There's ways that you can measure how
Speaker 6: heavily pressured a guy is in a game. It was
Speaker 6: the most pressure he's ever faced in a game in
Speaker 6: terms of distance between him and the defender. When he
Speaker 6: caught the ball, the shortest amount of space he's ever
Speaker 6: had on the catch, the most pressure he's felt up
Speaker 6: the floor, an average of sixty five feet up the floor,
Speaker 6: pressuring him more blitzes than he's seen traps than.
Speaker 3: Any other game in the postseason.
Speaker 6: So he had an easy way to seventy plus points
Speaker 6: in Oklahoma City. I mean, it really wasn't easy seventy.
Speaker 6: That's not what happened the other night. They targeted him
Speaker 6: Priority one, two and three.
Speaker 8: He was it.
Speaker 6: That's the only name on the whiteboard. We're gonna figure
Speaker 6: everything else out. If they start to beat us by
Speaker 6: giving the ball up. They targeted him. It wore him down,
Speaker 6: and that's what I think now they're going to say
Speaker 6: on film and then there'll be an adjustment to that
Speaker 6: and finding ways for him to conserve a little bit
Speaker 6: more energy while still being effective.
Speaker 2: Tim Legler, ESPN analyst. You can see him late night
Speaker 2: editions of Sports Center with Scott Van Pelt. I brought
Speaker 2: this up to the dan Nets before. The amount of
Speaker 2: energy you have when you're you know, a big time score,
Speaker 2: whether it's iversent Er Jordan or you know, Tracy McGrady,
Speaker 2: or go down the list of every single night you
Speaker 2: have to bring it they're bringing their best at you.
Speaker 2: But that's really what's amazing when you see these guys
Speaker 2: who can do it every single night. They have to
Speaker 2: do it every single night, and the energy it takes
Speaker 2: to put up thirty points every single night, and that's
Speaker 2: what SGA.
Speaker 8: Has to do.
Speaker 2: He has to give you thirty three thirty four a game.
Speaker 6: And that's why I very rarely throw out the word
Speaker 6: superstar because you just defined what that is and that
Speaker 6: that is a simple definition. It's every night, and it
Speaker 6: doesn't mean necessarily you're always gonna shoot well. I mean,
Speaker 6: obviously those guys have off nights too. But the one
Speaker 6: thing that you can say about all the guys you
Speaker 6: just mentioned, you're go throw Kobe into that list. You
Speaker 6: didn't mention Kobe, like they they look the same every
Speaker 6: single night. Some night's more efficient than other nights. Some
Speaker 6: nights when they're really efficient is when they go crazy
Speaker 6: and you know they're they're leading Sports Center because they
Speaker 6: have a forty or fifty point game. But some nights,
Speaker 6: you know they have off nights, but it always looks
Speaker 6: the same. It's the relentless pressure they're applying to you offensively.
Speaker 6: And some guys, you know, they have the luxury of
Speaker 6: you know, because of the nature of the position or
Speaker 6: the way they play, some nights are a little bit
Speaker 6: more passive. That's why I got to draw the line,
Speaker 6: like the superstar player, you're counted on every night to
Speaker 6: do that because even the Knights, when you don't shoot well,
Speaker 6: the pressure you're applying every possession is leading to other
Speaker 6: good things for people, And you could still win games
Speaker 6: when you don't shoot well if you're a superstar, because
Speaker 6: you have collapsed the defense, You've drawn extra guys to you.
Speaker 6: It leads to offensive rebound opportunities, it leads to open threes,
Speaker 6: it leads to stuff for your teammates because of the
Speaker 6: relentlessness with which you play. Very difficult to get onto
Speaker 6: that list because very f you guys have the stamina,
Speaker 6: the skill, or the competitive will to.
Speaker 3: Do it every single night.
Speaker 2: Switch topics here with the Knicks that when they fired Thibodeau,
Speaker 2: I thought, okay, you fire him, then you must know
Speaker 2: who you're hiring. I got the feeling that they were
Speaker 2: going to fire him no matter what happened in the postseason.
Speaker 2: They didn't expect to get to the Eastern Conference Finals. Therefore,
Speaker 2: it looks worse. The optics are bad. But then it's
Speaker 2: so public of they're asking all they're asking for permission
Speaker 2: to talk to all these coaches. Do they know who
Speaker 2: they really want here?
Speaker 6: I mean, you know who knows? Maybe they really wanted Jason.
Speaker 6: I don't know if that that that seemed to be
Speaker 6: the most the most smoke there around that one.
Speaker 2: But if you're Jason Kidd, why would you consider that?
Speaker 3: I wouldn't. I mean, I don't know. I mean that
Speaker 3: that's I'd have a hard time making the argument of
Speaker 3: why you would.
Speaker 6: And I'd say other than other than I guess the
Speaker 6: biggest one would be, Man, can you imagine being the
Speaker 6: guy that coaches the team in that city that finally
Speaker 6: gets it done for the first time in fifty plus
Speaker 6: years in that market with a fan base like that
Speaker 6: city that loves basketball.
Speaker 3: You're finally the guy.
Speaker 6: It's just like Jalen Brunson if he's if he's on
Speaker 6: that team and they're able to do it, what that's
Speaker 6: gonna feel like for Jalen Brunson where he assends to
Speaker 6: like in terms.
Speaker 3: Of how he's viewed in all time New York athletes.
Speaker 6: Like I guess that that challenge you know Dallas has
Speaker 6: wasn't that long ago that they won it.
Speaker 10: But I'm with you.
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I don't know when Kyrie's coming back.
Speaker 3: That's a big part of the equation for next season,
Speaker 3: assuming he makes it back.
Speaker 6: Point maybe it's the following year, Cooper Flag's second year,
Speaker 6: she still got Anthony Davis, Kyrie recovered at that point,
Speaker 6: and Cooper Flag in his second year.
Speaker 3: Who I think is they can't miss Star. Give me
Speaker 3: that situation. I'd rather have that situation than than than
Speaker 3: the next.
Speaker 6: But look to your point, then you can't all that
Speaker 6: stuff getting out and us knowing all of that.
Speaker 3: So you know, who knows you might have called five
Speaker 3: other guests.
Speaker 6: Today before me, and you're gonna pitch it like I'm
Speaker 6: the guy you wanted all along.
Speaker 3: Like I don't really know that.
Speaker 6: I think it was just three or four, okay, But
Speaker 6: now and that is so like, this is the guy
Speaker 6: we wanted all along. That's what they're gonna have to
Speaker 6: do with a press conference now whoever's sitting there, No, No,
Speaker 6: this is who we wanted it was.
Speaker 3: You know, the Lakers had that kind of that embarrassing
Speaker 3: situation in.
Speaker 6: A way with you know, Danny Hurley, Right, that open
Speaker 6: recruitment of Danny Hurley, you didn't get them, and then
Speaker 6: you go to jaj Reddick. But see for Jedjiu, Redick
Speaker 6: didn't care because he wanted to coach so badly and
Speaker 6: it's the Lakers. He wasn't going to care that he
Speaker 6: wasn't necessarily the first choice in this situation.
Speaker 2: Now, who are you going to get?
Speaker 6: Knowing that they pursued I don't know a handful of
Speaker 6: other candidates and you finally settle on a guy.
Speaker 3: So it's going to be interesting how it plays out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't see Danny Hurley in the NBA,
Speaker 2: not because he doesn't have the coaching acumen, but just
Speaker 2: the losses when you only lose a handful of games
Speaker 2: in college and then you can lose a handful of
Speaker 2: games in a week or two week period.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Well, the other thing is Dan you know, he's a
Speaker 6: hell of a coach. He coaches hard. You can't coach
Speaker 6: that hard in the NBA. I mean, you just can't
Speaker 6: coach those guys like that. And now would you be
Speaker 6: able to adjust to that? I mean he'd have to,
Speaker 6: he'd have to, because that's just it's too long of
Speaker 6: a season to kind of have that level of in
Speaker 6: your face intensity every day would would be difficult to
Speaker 6: manage in the NBA. There's no question the guy's a
Speaker 6: hell of a coach, and look, at times they need
Speaker 6: you need to coach guys hard in the NBA. If
Speaker 6: you don't, I think you're gonna get You're gonna get
Speaker 6: run over as an NBA coach. But but there's got
Speaker 6: to be an adjustment to it in the volume of
Speaker 6: it and and how frequently you do that. I think
Speaker 6: the guy could probably pull it off. I don't I
Speaker 6: mean his name, I haven't really heard his name yet
Speaker 6: associated with this. It seems like if he was gonna
Speaker 6: take one, this would be the one though, just based
Speaker 6: on where he's kind of been his whole life and
Speaker 6: that part of the country, and you know, being a
Speaker 6: Jersey kid, it seems like that would make a lot
Speaker 6: of sense.
Speaker 3: But I haven't heard his name quite yet pop up.
Speaker 2: If you could have a rematch of an NBA finals
Speaker 2: in history, same players that they run it back, what
Speaker 2: would you take?
Speaker 6: Without question, it would be the eighty four Celtics Lakers series.
Speaker 6: There's no question because and you're probably for the same
Speaker 6: reason as me. I mean, byrd is my favorite athlete
Speaker 6: of all time? You know I was, and I had
Speaker 6: no geographical connection to the Boston Celtics. I was a
Speaker 6: Bullets fan as a kid in the DC Baltimore area.
Speaker 6: Elvin Hayes was my first favorite player. But when Bird
Speaker 6: got to the league at the same time I was
Speaker 6: going to high school, that's what I wanted to be
Speaker 6: an NBA player because of him style of play with
Speaker 6: the Celtics.
Speaker 3: I loved the Lakers too.
Speaker 6: Oddly enough, Magic was like my second favorite player, as
Speaker 6: weird as that sounds, because their arrivals. So the reason
Speaker 6: I picked that one is because the Celtics lost that
Speaker 6: series in seven, so let's run it back and maybe
Speaker 6: Bird can get another title.
Speaker 2: Weird that you would have Magic as one of your
Speaker 2: favorite players since he passed a lot.
Speaker 3: That's true, but I loved playing with the guys that
Speaker 3: played that way. Okay, that was my best friend, the
Speaker 3: passing point guard.
Speaker 6: And by the way, by the way, a passing point
Speaker 6: guard's best friend is a shooter. Because I'm not putting
Speaker 6: it down a whole lot, so you're gonna get the assist.
Speaker 3: There's no gray area with me. It's going up, so
Speaker 3: you'll get the dime.
Speaker 2: Okay, career high assist in a game for Tim Legler.
Speaker 2: Let's go round the room, Todd, what do you think
Speaker 2: Legler's career high and assist?
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say, I'm not even sure I know. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna say seven or eight, probably, Todd.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go eight, all right, Seaton, I'm gonna go seven.
Speaker 2: All right, Marvin ten, I'm gonna Paul, you have the answer,
Speaker 2: I do. I'm gonna go nine.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 7: Wizards versus Nets February nineteenth, nineteen ninety six dished out
Speaker 7: seven assists.
Speaker 6: Oh hey, by the way, that was checked. Okay, listen
Speaker 6: to this I got. I didn't even have no idea
Speaker 6: that was the case. I certainly didn't know that game.
Speaker 8: But I do know this.
Speaker 6: That was my second game back after missing almost a
Speaker 6: year when I tore three ligaments in my knee.
Speaker 3: I played.
Speaker 6: I came back All Star weekend, I got cleared to play.
Speaker 6: I defended my three point Oh no, ninety six. I'm sorry,
Speaker 6: I thought you said ninety seven. Ninety six.
Speaker 8: No, no, no.
Speaker 3: That was the midst of my best year in the league. Yes,
Speaker 3: I had just won the three point shootout.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tim had eight.
Speaker 7: Two weeks before that, Tim had a triple single that night,
Speaker 7: nine rebounds, seven assists.
Speaker 3: I had a lot of triple singles.
Speaker 2: Did you where are your trophies for the three point
Speaker 2: shooting contest?
Speaker 6: It's just in my in my office, and yeah, in
Speaker 6: my office at all. It has a tiny little defect
Speaker 6: in the back. No one knows about this till now,
Speaker 6: a tiny little dent because when you win it and
Speaker 6: you get the.
Speaker 3: Trophy and now you got to fly out.
Speaker 6: I was playing out of San Antonio to meet up
Speaker 6: with the team on the road, so I'm carrying it
Speaker 6: on the plane. What else are you gonna do with
Speaker 6: that thing? So I'm literally carrying the trophy. Had to
Speaker 6: put it on the little conveyor through security. It disappeared
Speaker 6: for a second. I was kind of worried about it.
Speaker 6: I was looking in the other end, like wait for
Speaker 6: that thing to pop out, and it banged something along
Speaker 6: the way.
Speaker 3: There's a tiny little den in the back of it.
Speaker 2: But Eddie George, I think, had to put his heisman
Speaker 2: through TSA and they and they broke a finger.
Speaker 3: Did they break it?
Speaker 2: Yeah? They did.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I always look at it like this.
Speaker 6: There's a tiny little det in that it's it's it's
Speaker 6: perfect because it kind of sums.
Speaker 3: Up my career at little at the beginning, but eventually
Speaker 3: I got there.
Speaker 10: Right.
Speaker 2: Uh, have fun tonight. Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 3: That man looking forward to it.
Speaker 2: Dan. Thanks Jim Lagler, ESPN, NBA n Let's She'll be
Speaker 2: with the Scott Bean Peasey postgame coverage NBA Finals. He
Speaker 2: could occasionally dish it out, but he was just a shooter.
Speaker 2: He was a spot up shooter. Still offended that he
Speaker 2: thought that he could beat me left handed from three
Speaker 2: point range. I shot right handed, he shot. We're in Detroit.
Speaker 2: It's one of the most offended comments I've ever heard.
Speaker 2: Then he said I could beat you left handed, and
Speaker 2: I was like, God, dang, we didn't shoot. We shot around,
Speaker 2: But he does believe that he could beat me left handed.
Speaker 11: Yes, Marmon, I think he's offended that you even tried
Speaker 11: to challenge him. No, No, I didn't challenge him.
Speaker 2: I challenged Greg Anthony because Legs and I are just shooting,
Speaker 2: and this is before we're going to do a Sports
Speaker 2: Center hit and Greg Anthony comes out, and I was
Speaker 2: basically saying to Greg Anthony, you don't shoot where we shoot.
Speaker 2: Greg was a fifteen to eighteen footer, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: we're shooting out here. And then I just remember Legs
Speaker 2: was like, you know, I could beat you left handed,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, man, that hurt. And then I thought, well,
Speaker 2: I'm not going to play him, because if I lose
Speaker 2: to a guy who's right handed beats me left handed,
Speaker 2: there goes my aura. Yes, Paul, how much.
Speaker 7: Time would Legler be practicing left handed threes?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 7: I do that seems like a big waste of time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, until that moment where you need to shoot left
Speaker 2: handed again, right up until it wasn't Yeah, playing the
Speaker 2: long game. Yeah, he knew one day some talking Haird's
Speaker 2: going to go out there and he's going to say,
Speaker 2: and I gonna beat you left handed. All right, we'll
Speaker 2: take a break. We're back after this.
