WEBVTT - Hour 2 - Klay Thompson's Legacy 0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:03.559 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:07.960 Sports Radio. It's our two on this Wednesday. Morale is 0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:12.600 high because I just had one of the brg's picture 0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:22.400 deray order breakfast burrito's. Yes, yes, no, nobody. Yeah, you know, 0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:25.239 I thought morale it was kind of wavering a little bit. 0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:28.560 I wanted to pick up the spirits here. So, uh, 0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:32.760 we're gonna have breakfast burritos here. Who has it better 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:33.520 than we do? 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:34.880 Nobody? 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:35.360 All right? 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:38.440 Eight seven to seven three DP show email address Dpadanpatrick 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:40.520 dot com Twitter handle a DP show. 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:43.120 You know who's a bad better Drake? 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:46.440 Remember when Drake came out and said he was betting 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:48.839 a million dollars I think on the MAVs to win 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.280 the finals, and he was betting a million dollars on 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.880 Edmonton to win the Stanley Cup Final. And I picked 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:57.600 the Celtics and Florida. I go, I feel really good 0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:02.280 about my bets. Well, Drake, I guess lost three hundred 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:09.160 thousand dollars yesterday because he had Argentina losing. So he 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.959 he does bet on a variety of things. So Drake 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:16.200 of course is you know, betting on Canada. But he 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:20.120 lost three hundred thousand dollars betting on his country beating 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:24.360 the defending champs, and he posted an image on Instagram 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.240 that showed his bet would have given him two point 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:33.559 eight million dollars. But if Canada won, but Argentina going 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:37.800 to their fourth final in the last five of these events. 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:38.759 Here, man, I'm going. 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:40.520 To disagree with you. You can't put a part price on 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:41.440 Canadian goodwill. 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:44.600 Yeah, but I don't need to put money on my team, 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:49.280 my country, just the benefit of winning. You know, he 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:52.600 was betting on Dallas and Edmonton. Now I get Edmonton 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:56.080 with Canada Dallas. I don't know, why are you going 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.640 to take Dallas to win the NBA Finals? Now, he 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:01.720 might look at it and go Floyd Mayweather always post 0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:05.280 when he wins. Now, being a former gambler, you only 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.440 want to talk about the wins. Nobody wants to talk 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.839 about the losses. But you lose far more than you win. 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:15.920 And it feels like Floyd wins every bed somehow, Drake 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.440 at least posts them, and I do respect that. I 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.720 just don't know if he's a very good gambler. Yes, Martin, I'm. 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:25.080 Looking at a post, I guess from Argentina's soccer yeah, 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.720 and it's got the Argentina players and on top it 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.760 says not like us, Oh that's me. 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.359 Wows yeah. 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:37.440 Once again, maybe Kendrick should perform at an Argentina soccer game, 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:39.200 not like poor Drake. 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.200 Dang all right the aged seven to seven three DP 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:45.320 show email address Dpadan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle a 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:48.200 TP show. Good morning if you're watching on Peacock and 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:52.359 our radio affiliates around the country also chat row operator 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:55.239 Tyler sitting by taking your phone calls. We spend a 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:58.520 lot of time talking about a phenom. You know, Cooper 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:03.760 Flag is seventeen. You're seeing athletes whether they're fourteen, fifteen, sixteen. 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:07.160 There's an Olympic sprinter from the US. He's going to 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.280 be on the Olympic team. He's sixteen years of age. 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.840 Normally we see this with girls women that you know, 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.960 they mature sooner than you'll see somebody who's playing tennis 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.760 in they're fourteen years of age. Doesn't happen on the 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:23.680 men's side because you need, you know, more power there 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.079 to be able to survive against you know, guys who 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:29.200 have been playing for fifteen years. Then you also have 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.720 the athlete at the other end of the spectrum. You 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:35.800 know Joker, you know Novak Djokovic is playing still high 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:40.000 level tennis at his age, Lebron at his age, Chris 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:42.400 Paul is going to be playing for the Spurs. You 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.800 have Tom Brady with what he's done, Aaron Rodgers. So 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.840 you have this wide spectrum of when you start to 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:52.400 when you finish, and how long your careers can be. 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:55.760 And the fact that you have you know, Serena Williams 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:59.520 and Venus Williams against all odds getting out of Compton 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.200 and being able to be, you know, two of the 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:05.160 great players. One is Serena the greatest player of all time, 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:09.280 and Venus certainly had a very distinguished career. Tiger Woods 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:12.600 when he started how young and then you have to 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:15.320 have that dad who is there to enable you. I mean, 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:20.240 Tiger didn't have a normal childhood and because his dad 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:22.240 wanted him to be the greatest golfer in the world, 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:27.680 and he did become that, but there's always a price. 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:31.119 Like Michael Jackson, he was going to be the biggest 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:35.240 singer in pop history and he became that, but at 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.240 what price? And that's where we're talking about the parents 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:42.279 and the role that you play and encouraging. There's nothing 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.839 better than having a son or daughter who wants to play, 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:50.640 who loves to play, can't wait to play. Nothing worse 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:54.080 than dragging your kid to baseball practice and they're, like, 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:57.200 you know, out there picking dandelions. They do not want 0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.520 to be out there, but you want them to be 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:03.839 the next Mickey Mantle. That's the problem. Kids just want 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.480 to be kids. It's the parents who want the kids 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.200 to be something that maybe they weren't, and that's where 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:10.040 it gets dangerous. 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:13.040 Yes, mar Stefan Marberry is a guy I think about 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.120 because he had three older brothers that all played Division 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.359 one basketball and none of them made it to the NBA. 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:20.760 And if you watch the ninety six draft when he 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.839 gets drafted, he's crying. His entire family's crying, and it 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.920 feels like, so he got game is loosely based off 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:30.560 of Stefan Marberry because of the family pressure and everything 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:32.719 that he had on him. And all around Coney, Allen 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:36.479 and Brooklyn, you knew this is the one. The other 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:38.719 three they didn't make it, but this is the one. 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.160 He was like the number one, like ranked sixth grader 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.920 at one point, and so you can see that type 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:45.640 of pressure, you know, get on somebody. 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.359 Yeah, and I get it. You know, for some families, 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:51.400 this is your way out. This is you know, we're 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.919 counting on you to get us out to better our lives. 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:58.240 And the pressure that's on somebody who's sixteen seventeen years 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.839 of age. Friday, July twenty six, the Olympic Games return 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:05.760 live from Paris on NBC and Peacock Pole. Question from 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.279 hour one, Seaton and what are we gonna do with 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:10.800 hour two? Hour one? We got up there? 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:14.360 Which would be worse USA Basketball losing to Canada or France? 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.599 It is a landslide that people do not want to 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.440 lose to Canada at all. 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:23.880 Okay, who's got better odds to win the gold medal? Now? 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.960 United States prohibited favorite to win the gold medal. Which 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:31.479 country has the second best odds to win the gold medal? 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:37.520 Drake Drakes footing three undred thousand? God, France, Seaton, It's 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:40.360 not France, it's Canada. 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:45.680 Canada. Yeah, Yeah, I'm gonna let Drake know that if 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.640 he wants to maybe place a bet with me, I'll 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:53.160 take team USA and he can have Canada. Just said it, Yeah, 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:57.400 and we're gonna bet one hundred dollars and I'll give 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:00.400 him his odds, but we'll just do a hundred owners. 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:07.000 Todd reached out to Drake and see if he'll shutting 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:07.840 things down for now. 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:16.600 It's gonna lay low. Yeah, Usa, Canada, then France. Serbia 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.960 is right after France, and then Greece. 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:23.960 That's it. That's according to DraftKings, all right. Serbia. 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:28.440 Yeah, well they got joker. I wonder if they had 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:32.200 to convince him to play in the Olympics. You wouldn't 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.480 think they would because it's the Olympics. You get to 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.960 play for your country. But it just feels like once 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:43.040 the season's over, he just probably likes to sit around 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:48.240 and look at his horses and drink beer. Yes, when 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:54.640 is Olympics? How long is Olympics? All right, so what's 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:55.880 the poll question for hour two? 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:59.560 Seaton people saying I hate to break the James nath 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:05.600 Smith was a Canadian, so that's good. Okay, Oh no, okay, 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:06.880 it's coming home. 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:08.000 Yeah. 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:12.480 I love that James na Smith when he was, you know, 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:15.840 putting up the peach basket at Kansas. Yeah, well he 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:18.160 was Canadian. Yeah, it's actually our game. 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:18.880 I love it. 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:22.080 Hey, you I take claim. I have no problem with that. 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:27.119 I love my neighbors to the north. Wonderful people, Yeah, 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:27.880 wonderful people. 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:28.239 Yeah. 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:37.160 How about winn a Stanley Cup. What it's our game? Yeah, 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:38.240 it's our game. 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.520 Sunrise, Florida. Yeah, that's where hockey was. 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:46.440 That's that's where does the great one live? In Sunrise, Florida. 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:49.520 But you imagine if Waino says, you know, I'm going 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:52.839 to relocate to Sunrise, Florida, you know, in they you know, 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:55.520 to be in hockey country. 0:08:56.360 --> 0:09:00.200 All right, that's great, that's great. All right. 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.040 Gus Johnson will join us a little bit later on today. 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:07.800 The Mavericks introduced Play Thompson yesterday and Clay had this 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:09.800 to say, leaving Golden State. 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:12.920 Probably a little disappointed at first, but then as time 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:14.600 goes on, you have a lot of time to reflect 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:16.360 and you realize what you did. 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:18.160 They can't take that away from you. 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:21.600 As far as the championships or i mean, records are 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:23.960 meant to be broken, but the impact you have on 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:25.719 a community and all that that. 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:26.920 Will forever live. 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:31.960 And sometimes, you know, breakups are necessary to do us right. 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:32.880 All right? 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.480 And he picked number thirty one as a tribute to 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:38.240 our good buddy Reggie Miller. He said he grew up 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:41.360 watching all that tape of Reggie trying to get open, 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:46.000 going over screens and you know, kind of catch and 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.959 shoot type of players. So he picked thirty one. Here's 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.520 Chris Paul. He's joining the Spurs. 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:56.600 I played against him this season, and I tell you 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:58.760 there's probably no player in the league that everybody in 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:02.480 the league talks about after the game like him, because 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:04.840 everybody has their just stuff. Me and Harrison was on 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:08.640 our flight yesterday just talking about how cool it's going 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.080 to be at this point in our career is to 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.320 get a chance to appreciate him day in and day out, 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:14.360 you know, So that definitely helped. 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.560 So he's talking about Victor Wembanyama. I could have set 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:22.720 that up a little better, but Chris Paul, they needed 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:26.000 us point guard last year with Victor, certainly in the 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.400 first half of the season, he just was out of 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:31.520 place on the court. And a great point guard, a 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:34.240 good point guard, a veteran point guard, can position you 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:37.000 for success a little bit more. And Chris is going 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:40.480 to get plenty of playing time there and he's going 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:43.280 to have to be there in a mentorship role for 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:48.320 Victor Wembanyama. That kind of interesting. Never want a title. 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.120 But you know when you talk about people who never 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.520 players who never want a title, you'll always bring up 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:59.080 Barkley Malone in Stockton. Well, Chris Paul is a first 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:03.320 batl Hall of Famer. I can't help but think if 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:10.400 the commissioner had not voided that trade from the Pelicans 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:13.319 from New Orleans to the Lakers, then he would have 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.240 had a title or two. But that's when the NBA 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:20.600 took ownership of, you know, the New Orleans franchise, and 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.160 the commissioner, David Stern said, I'm. 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:23.800 Not going to do that. 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:26.960 He was worried about what was going to happen to 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.360 New Orleans franchise if you get rid of Chris Paul 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:33.679 competitive balance and you know, was this a trade that 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:37.600 was not going to benefit New Orleans? And so because 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:41.319 the NBA owned or took ownership, Chris Paul never got 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:44.679 to go to Los Angeles. Had a lot of opportunities, 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:48.640 played for really good teams. But Chris Paul will probably 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:50.960 end his career without winning a championship. 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:51.240 Yeah. 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:54.400 Poll That was twenty eleven, right after the lockout. It 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:56.360 was a three way deal between the Lakers, Hornets, and 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.760 Houston Rockets LA agreed to part ways of Pau Gasol 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.320 lamar Odom exchange for the twenty six year old Chris 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:07.160 Paul Wow letting Paul gassall goal at that that. 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:07.800 Meant a tough one. 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.160 Back then he was pretty he was pretty good. 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:12.120 I mean yeah. 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:16.280 But the NBA, David Stern vetoed it. There's miscommunications about it. 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:19.480 They said Genie bus was very upset, trot how to 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.120 file a protest and didn't work. 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:26.320 Chris Paul should sue the NBA. Maybe it's too late. 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:29.480 I don't know the statute of limitations, but it'd be 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.120 like you costed me not winning a championship he had. 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:38.440 That one, his whole legacy would be completely different, would 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:40.440 it If he had one? 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:42.679 He might not just have one. Yeah, I don't think 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.760 he's singled out now, but I don't know where he 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:49.880 ranks of great point guards of all time. His name 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:53.199 doesn't come up with of all time. But he's a 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.680 first ballon Hall of Famer because if you start at 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:58.760 the point guard, because and you know, let's take magic 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:03.079 out of this. But is Chris Paul better than Steve Nash? 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:08.719 Is Chris Paul equal to Isaiah Is he equal to 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:09.600 John Stockton? 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:10.600 Like? 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:12.600 Is he allan Ivers? 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:12.800 Like? 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:16.200 Where is Chris Paul and the pantheon of point guards here? 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:16.880 Yes? 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.440 Mark, So you know what I'm gonna take the Vinny 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.840 goodwill approach them at their peak? Who would you take? 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:27.360 Would you take? Oh? Wait, Chris Paul, would you take five? 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:28.040 Steve Nash? 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:28.880 Steve Nash. 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:31.720 I'm gonna go Chris Paul because he took a really 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.839 good New Orleans team deep into the playoffs one year 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:38.559 and it was just like him and guys like Marcus Thornton. 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:45.439 You have a Nash won the MVP. 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:48.920 Chris Paul should have won MVP, but he didn't. 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:51.760 No, but Steve Nash did. He won two. 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:55.880 Now granted he only deserved one, Shack deserved the other one. Yeah, 0:13:56.360 --> 0:14:04.880 at his peak? Okay Stockton or Chris Paul, I guess 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.840 they're pretty similar. It just Stockedon did the same thing 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:12.839 every year, in the same numbers, for the same thing. 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:15.679 Everybody knew exactly what he was going to do, and 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.600 he still did it. And you know he'd give you 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:23.120 what eighteen and fourteen. I mean, he did that an 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:26.880 entire career. What hurts Chris Paul is he bounced around 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:34.440 to so many teams. But I don't I mean, he's 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:39.880 not Isaiah Who. I mean, I don't know where is 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:41.800 he a? He top ten point guard of all times? 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:42.040 Yes? 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:42.560 Is that fair? 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:42.960 Okay? 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:45.680 Yeah, I don't want to sell him short. I just 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:50.200 because he didn't win a title. It just what bothers me. 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:55.280 More is he kept bouncing around. Great players don't bounce 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:55.880 around like that. 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:57.400 Yeah. 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:00.120 More, you know what, because I'm an NBA junkie, I 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.960 think wherever he went he made the team better automatically. 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:03.840 Yeah, I'll give you that. 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:06.720 Like he had Oklahoma City in the playoffs, but it 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:10.440 was just him and Marcus Thorton. I don't know. 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:15.000 You're right about okay, see because I remember, like, man, 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:16.640 they are a lot better than they should be. 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:18.280 Yeah, Paul Chris Paul led. 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.280 The league and assists five times. He actually led the 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:23.280 league in steels six times. But you know what I 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:27.640 think may hurt him. His style play is unspectacular. It's 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:30.880 not above the room in any way. It's meandering, it's efficient. 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:34.800 It's almost a Tim Duncan like as a point guard, 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:38.760 where it's it's an efficient it's undefendable. But if you 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:40.680 put a highlight team together, it's not gonna be really 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:41.360 fun to watch. 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:45.800 I think he had more highlights at Wake Forest when 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:50.920 he played in college than in the NBA. Like he 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:56.000 he was always like fifteen footer like there. There wasn't 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:59.960 anything where he went mound you see that. And he 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:03.560 he's probably known more for maybe some cheap shots that 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:07.320 he's had in his career. Yeah, when you're doing lugnuts, 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:10.000 I mean, you know that's not good. Yeah. 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:12.920 But if he's allowed to go to the Lakers in 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:17.560 twenty eleven, Yeah, does he end up on you know, 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:19.880 all those other teams? Does he end up in Houston, 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:24.600 Oklahoma City, Phoenix, Golden State. 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:26.440 I don't know. I don't know. 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.840 I don't know him. It's kind of crazy that that happened. 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.520 Yes, that David Stearns, Yes, was in charge of a team, 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:36.080 and I was like, uh no, I say no to 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:36.360 this tree. 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:41.120 Yes, but his job was to protect New Orleans. He 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:44.280 had to protect He did the right thing from the 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:48.200 standpoint of protecting the team that needed protection instead of going, hey, 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:51.880 let's let the Lakers get another great player. So he 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:56.360 went against conventional wisdom of making your league better by 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:57.400 having a better team. 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:00.720 Than, you know, keeping New Orleans a float. 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:04.199 There if they still let him leave, Yeah, eventually, I 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:07.080 just you know, and I think it went right. Instead 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:12.440 of going to the Lakers, he went to the Clippers. Yeah. Yeah, 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:15.040 once again, statute of limitations. I don't know if you 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:17.960 can sue the estate of the late Commissioner David Stern. 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:20.720 All right, let me take a break.

A couple 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:38.639 of phone calls here Lorenzo in Indiana, Hi, Lo, what's 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:39.440 on your mind today? 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:44.000 Hey, good morning guys. So I got a story from 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:49.600 a parents' perspective where if your child becomes good through AAU, 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:54.000 gets to high school, gets offers, and then my son 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:59.080 walked away from basketball he was burnt out or didn't 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:01.440 want to do it anymore, or I didn't handle it well. 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:05.320 Then he went in to play in the spring volleyball. 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:08.240 So now he just graduated. He's going to go to 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:12.240 college and play volleyball. But imagine the stress of the 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:16.160 depression that parents go through when your kid does well. 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:19.399 It's like, Okay, college is paid for, we don't have 0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:22.399 to worry about it. Then they just walk away like 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:25.840 the not that you want it for yourself, but just 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:29.119 the Midt Tom side of parents who've always done it's 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:32.399 since third grade, but not thinking about the child's side, 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:35.480 and like, you've got it made, this is paid for. 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:37.800 What do you mean you're walking away? But then he 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:41.520 was able to do something else and do even better 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:44.560 at it. So I probably just something for parents to 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:47.360 keep in mind. There's other things out there, other. 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:51.480 Sports well, and that's the tricky part that we all 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:54.280 think all he could be or she could be the 0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:59.680 next well probably not, but are they doing something. 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:01.359 That they real love, they enjoy. 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:05.600 That's that's the great part of parenting, when your son 0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:09.800 or daughter is dragging you, not the other way around. 0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:14.920 My son infamously was on the campus of a university 0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:18.000 that had a very good crew team, and my son 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:23.399 is good size. He's walking on campus with a buddy. 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:27.560 The crew coach comes out and says, uh, are you 0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:30.320 going to school here, and he goes, no, no, I'm 0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:33.040 thinking about it. He goes, well, we'd love for you 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:35.680 to try out for the crew team, and my son 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:38.359 says to the crew coach, Oh, I don't want to 0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:40.720 do anything in college where I have to get up early. 0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:45.159 So he relays his story to my wife and I 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:48.439 and I go, he goes, no, Dan, why would I 0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:50.480 want to do that? You know how they kind of 0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:53.520 get up at five in the morning. I go, if 0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:56.520 I wasn't paying for your school, and I said, you 0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:58.800 had to do that and you could get a scholarship, 0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:02.000 and he goes, yeah, probably, but he didn't want to 0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:04.560 do something where if he did it well enough, he'd have. 0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:05.320 To do it in college. 0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:07.040 I going, oh my god. 0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:12.480 So happened on two different campuses where they saw him, 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:17.800 and they both one was USC and one was a 0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:20.960 school on the East Coast, and the crew coach said 0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:23.399 to him, Hey, if you come here, we want you 0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:25.960 to be on the crew team. He's like, oh, no, 0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:28.600 I don't want to do that. That's too much work. 0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:31.880 I'm like, oh my god, what have we done? 0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:35.760 What have we done? We failed? He could have been 0:21:35.760 --> 0:21:36.680 in the Olympics. 0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:41.919
