Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Hope you had a great weekend. Everybody, gang's all here,
Speaker 2: ready to go. It's the month of June. Does Aj
Speaker 2: Brown finally get traded today? Albert Breer, the Monday Morning Quarterback,
Speaker 2: will stop by a little bit later on. Shawn Elliott,
Speaker 2: former Spurs great now Spurs broadcaster, will stop by next hour.
Speaker 3: You're with us all three hours.
Speaker 2: Hopefully you can dial us up each seven to seven
Speaker 2: to three DP show best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 2: What you saw that you liked, you didn't like. Our
Speaker 2: stat of the day has always brought to you by
Speaker 2: Pennini America. The official trading cards of the program. First
Speaker 2: hour brought to you by the z Cliner revolutionary recliner
Speaker 2: designed by Flexteel. Here's the problem with this thing. It's
Speaker 2: too damn comfortable. And I get the back room guys
Speaker 2: sitting in the z Cliner, I can't get them up.
Speaker 2: I got Anthony, I got Big Day Ray. They I
Speaker 2: think they might have fallen asleep. A couple of times,
Speaker 2: sources close to me say zkliner dot com slash Dan
Speaker 2: Pattrick find a ze Kleiner at a store near you
Speaker 2: play the Dapole question stat of the day, all of
Speaker 2: that forthcoming. It was a year ago where we talked
Speaker 2: about at this time Wemby's blood clot and what it's
Speaker 2: going to mean moving forward for the Spurs. Here we
Speaker 2: are a year later and we're talking about the future
Speaker 2: of the sport. Actually the future is now because he
Speaker 2: is the face of the sport. And the Spurs beat
Speaker 2: the Thunder, they go to the NBA Finals, they will
Speaker 2: be favored to win it all, and they will be
Speaker 2: favored in game one at home by four and a
Speaker 2: half against the Knicks. As we always do, we tend
Speaker 2: to look at the team that got eliminated before we
Speaker 2: look ahead to the finals matchup between these two with
Speaker 2: the Okac Thunder. It's easy to overreact sometimes and sometimes
Speaker 2: you just have to say, hey, we got here last
Speaker 2: year and we won the title. Yes, we were taken
Speaker 2: to seven games a couple of times. You went to
Speaker 2: seven games here, you did lose it home. You battled injuries.
Speaker 2: You had depth, but you battled some injuries there going
Speaker 2: into the last couple of games there, you do have
Speaker 2: the chet homegreun issue question mark. And keep this in
Speaker 2: mind because his contract five years, two hundred forty million
Speaker 2: dollar contract kicks off next season just over forty one
Speaker 2: million next season. Jalen Williams banged up throughout the postseason.
Speaker 2: His five year, two hundred forty million dollar extension begins
Speaker 2: next season. I understand Chet holmgren fascination with guys who
Speaker 2: are that big, talented, can handle the ball both ends
Speaker 2: of the floor.
Speaker 3: That's a rough Game seven.
Speaker 2: That would be a no show, and that would really
Speaker 2: concern me because you're going to be facing Victor Wimbenyama
Speaker 2: for the next ten years if you stay in the West,
Speaker 2: you're going to be facing him. And it's almost as
Speaker 2: if when he dunked on you in Game seven, that
Speaker 2: pretty much signaled the see you later, Chet, because he
Speaker 2: was gone mia way. He wasn't even in action, but
Speaker 2: he was missing on the court, and that was really
Speaker 2: what was surprising here. That would be the one thing
Speaker 2: I would look at and go okay, moving forward here.
Speaker 3: He's your guy.
Speaker 2: He second in Defensive Player of the Year, he's been
Speaker 2: an All Star, and I just didn't see any fight.
Speaker 2: You're at home, the crowd is on your side, teammates
Speaker 2: are imploring you to be a little more aggressive, when
Speaker 2: you don't get a shot off in the second half,
Speaker 2: I get impossible. You feel like somebody that big, that tall,
Speaker 2: and you're not involved in anything. And his numbers were
Speaker 2: kind of pedestrian in the series, ten point seven rebounds,
Speaker 2: had one assist, one block per game. Okay, you're supposed
Speaker 2: to be an All Star, You're supposed to act like
Speaker 2: an All Star like Jalen Williams. I understand he was healthy,
Speaker 2: but Chet Holmgren's got to be great or at least good,
Speaker 2: and if he was good.
Speaker 3: They win. But he was not.
Speaker 2: I mean, Wemby didn't have an incredible game. The team did.
Speaker 2: And that should be even scarier to Okac and everybody
Speaker 2: else because if you shut down Wemby or you contain Wemby,
Speaker 2: I mean, Stefan Cassel has been great both ends of
Speaker 2: the floor. And this is a team that's younger than you.
Speaker 2: That's another concerning aspect. Now, I know Okac has all
Speaker 2: these draft picks, draft capitals, we like to say, Okay,
Speaker 2: what are you going to do with those? Are you
Speaker 2: going to do anything? Can you move Chet Holmgren? Do
Speaker 2: you want to move Chet Holmgren? I think you know
Speaker 2: in the moment we love to react overreact, and I
Speaker 2: would say it'd be an overreaction. I have to have
Speaker 2: Chet Holmgren learn how to be up to the moment,
Speaker 2: to rise to the moment, to want to be great.
Speaker 2: And I didn't see him want to be great. Wemby
Speaker 2: wants to be great. You saw how important this was.
Speaker 2: I mean he's hugging people like he just got married.
Speaker 2: I mean this was important to him. He took away
Speaker 2: his lunch money. Wemby took Chet's lunch money away, and
Speaker 2: that was really what was surprising. But give credit to OKC.
Speaker 2: It's a balanced team. You got some players that you
Speaker 2: probably didn't realize were going to be contributors. Dylan Harper
Speaker 2: grew up right in front of us. You saw actually
Speaker 2: the maturity of him. Stefan Cassel gets knocked to the
Speaker 2: floor and he's getting ready to get up and maybe
Speaker 2: you know, start a fight with Caruso. Harper goes down
Speaker 2: and almost like an MMA move, holds him to say no, no,
Speaker 2: don't do anything stupid. Darren Fox rewarded after years Sacramento, Like,
Speaker 2: they have a fun team here. It's a good team,
Speaker 2: and I know people are gonna get caught up in
Speaker 2: well who would the Knicks rather play. What doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: This is who's in front of you. But I think
Speaker 2: it'll be a wonderful series. And I can't help but
Speaker 2: go back. I have a shoe in front, and it's
Speaker 2: Tim Duncan, one of his shoes that he wore when
Speaker 2: he won the title in New York. He signed one
Speaker 2: of his shoes when he came in to do an
Speaker 2: interview after they won the title. And I've kept that
Speaker 2: shoe there. But that's from nineteen ninety nine, when Tim
Speaker 2: Duncan's twenty two years of age, which is what Wemby
Speaker 2: is right now. It happens fast and it's all about
Speaker 2: winning now. Oka See is built for the future. San
Speaker 2: Antonio is built right now. And you got these draft
Speaker 2: picks and okay See, do you use them? Is the
Speaker 2: honest the answer, because Sam amok, great writer for The Athletic,
Speaker 2: said that okay See was not involved in the Jannas sweepstakes,
Speaker 2: but maybe they are now. Nothing should be off the
Speaker 2: table when the end goal wasn't reached. Also, maybe there's
Speaker 2: a chance the thunder would reach out for Evan Mobley
Speaker 2: of the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavaliers GM Kobe Oltman said,
Speaker 2: Mobley isn't going anywhere. There's gonna be some teams trying
Speaker 2: to figure this out of what do we do with Wemby,
Speaker 2: what do we do with the Spurs? Because you got
Speaker 2: a twenty year old, a twenty one year old, a
Speaker 2: twenty two year old, those are the stars for the
Speaker 2: San Antonio Spurs. And I know we love to say, well,
Speaker 2: you know what, they're going to be overwhelmed with a moment. Okay,
Speaker 2: see defending champs home court advantage, And I thought they
Speaker 2: don't know that, Like from experience, I've seen it where
Speaker 2: you kind of had to lose on a big stage
Speaker 2: and then you learn from it and then you come
Speaker 2: back the next year. San Antonio skip that chapter like
Speaker 2: they're like, why can't we win in OKC. That's where
Speaker 2: you cut the line.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: There's if you've ever seen like movies or of you know,
Speaker 2: documentaries where there's people waiting outside the club Studio fifty
Speaker 2: four to get in. I was always on the outside
Speaker 2: and I couldn't get in. I couldn't get anybody's attention.
Speaker 2: I'm sort of you know the Orlando magic. You know,
Speaker 2: I was like there, but I couldn't get in. They
Speaker 2: cut the line. That's where they go. Oh, right this way,
Speaker 2: San Antonio Spurs right there to the NBA Finals poll question.
Speaker 2: We'll have that for you coming up. Also, Tyler sitting by.
Speaker 2: You take your phone calls eight seven seven three DP
Speaker 2: show email address DP at Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handle
Speaker 2: a DP show. Here's Shay gilgis Alexander, who did play
Speaker 2: well in Game seven. On his thoughts on this season.
Speaker 5: It was a failure, like I failed at my goal.
Speaker 5: I didn't achieve what I wanted to achieve. But through
Speaker 5: my experiences I learned the most about myself and I
Speaker 5: make the greatest amount of increases I have in my
Speaker 5: career when I fail at my goal and don't get
Speaker 5: what I want and I look at this no different.
Speaker 2: I understand what he's saying. You're the defending champs, home
Speaker 2: court advantage. Yes, this is a disappointing season. He was
Speaker 2: great MVP again. He played well in Game seven. I
Speaker 2: thought the Spurs did a wonderful job sending different bodies
Speaker 2: and sometimes it's not the same size that you send
Speaker 2: out a guy, you know, Castle, Dylan Harper, different sizes,
Speaker 2: that's what you want, you know, somebody can be quicker,
Speaker 2: somebody can jump higher, somebody can be a bigger body.
Speaker 3: That's what you want to do.
Speaker 2: You're sending different bodies and that's what they do with
Speaker 2: great players, and they did that with SGA in the
Speaker 2: games that san Antonio he didn't play that well, but
Speaker 2: he played well in Game seven. But he knows bottom
Speaker 2: line is winning a championship, and rightfully so I understand.
Speaker 2: Like if san Antonio didn't win, I don't know if
Speaker 2: i'd say it's a disappointing season. Okay, see is defending
Speaker 2: champs home court advantage. Yes, you didn't even make it
Speaker 2: to the finals. Dylan, what's pole question for the first
Speaker 2: hour phone calls will get to those best and worst
Speaker 2: of the weekend.
Speaker 6: What do you have well going off that we can
Speaker 6: ask the people? Was the thunder season of failure?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 7: SGA is right?
Speaker 5: Or no?
Speaker 7: They got to Game seven of the Western Conference Finals.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I would say it's a disappointment. Here is
Speaker 2: Shay Gilgis on just how well the Spurs played.
Speaker 8: Shay, you guys had some opportunities to kind of take
Speaker 8: control of this one. What did you see is kind
Speaker 8: of the differences and not being able to kind of
Speaker 8: get over the hump and wrestle control completely away.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they were just the better team tonight finish and
Speaker 5: then every time we try to like cut into it
Speaker 5: and take it sh a old of the game. I
Speaker 5: felt like they had an answer and if a loot
Speaker 5: of times you felt like it was a tough shot making.
Speaker 5: So that's up to them. Yeah, they just they played
Speaker 5: BEDDA tonight and they deserve to win against.
Speaker 2: Yeah, take an ownership of it. It's not on him,
Speaker 2: but as a leader, he'll take it. And the game
Speaker 2: seven loss to San Antonio, the NBA has now gone
Speaker 2: eight consecutive seasons without a repeat champion.
Speaker 3: This is what you want if you're the NBA.
Speaker 2: You want more blood, new blood in there, and you
Speaker 2: got it. I get the international part of this with Wemby,
Speaker 2: you get New York City, you get a team in
Speaker 2: San Antonio might be viewed as an underdog even though
Speaker 2: they're the favorites, the Knicks with the crowd, with the Garden.
Speaker 2: This is what you want. You want to have these matchups,
Speaker 2: and you got it. So the NBA, this is like
Speaker 2: the Dodgers Yankees last year, Like this is what you want.
Speaker 2: You just hope that it lives up to that billing.
Speaker 6: Yes, Dylan, the Knicks actually have the opportunity to make
Speaker 6: a special kind of history Dan. They could be the
Speaker 6: first team in NBA history to win the NBA Cup
Speaker 6: and the NBA Finals the same season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Michael Jordan never did that. He did not, He didn't, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 9: And we were here for that, Dan, I'm glad you
Speaker 9: stuck around for that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I wasn't going to retire and some till somebody
Speaker 2: did that, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 9: Going back to SGA saying the season was a failure,
Speaker 9: he said it, and he volunteered it. It's like, it's okay,
Speaker 9: he volunteered it. Was it three years ago twenty twenty three,
Speaker 9: Jannis was asked, was this season of failure? And it's
Speaker 9: different if you're asked it then if you volunteer it
Speaker 9: and take control of it.
Speaker 3: How so, Well, like it's okay for.
Speaker 9: SGA to say it, to volunteer it because he believes it.
Speaker 9: But when a journal says it to Jannis, it's like whoa, whoa, whoa,
Speaker 9: that's for us to judge.
Speaker 2: No, yeah, oh that's true. Yeah, who were you talking
Speaker 2: hairdoo to say? Was it a disappointment. Yeah, you're right
Speaker 2: about that, But I do think the Yannis sweepstakes. Does
Speaker 2: Golden State get involved in this? I guess you got
Speaker 2: to say, do the Lakers get involved in this? But
Speaker 2: what's it going to take?
Speaker 3: If?
Speaker 2: I mean Milwaukee needs needs to move on? The question
Speaker 2: is what would it take to get Yannis? And what
Speaker 2: is Giannis?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: Thirty four? And he's a little bit older than what
Speaker 2: people think might be thirty four, but to be able
Speaker 2: to get him for a couple of years, and I
Speaker 2: think OKAC has to look at this and say do
Speaker 2: we want this? How does it work? A lot of
Speaker 2: times when you go, oh, they should go get that guy.
Speaker 2: Oh Janice is thirty one, they should go get that guy.
Speaker 2: Well you got to have him. How does he figure
Speaker 2: into the lineup with a ball dominant guard? Because that's
Speaker 2: another thing. And if you're gonna go get him, how
Speaker 2: does that change? You know, people's roles and it's Chet
Speaker 2: Holmer in there for the long haul or Jalen Williams
Speaker 2: Now they're moving into big money. All right, Well, take
Speaker 2: a break. Phone calls coming up, best and worst of
Speaker 2: the weekend. Settle on our poll question. We'll talk to
Speaker 2: Shawn Elliott, what was it the Memorial Day miracle? The
Speaker 2: anniversary was yesterday, I think for Sean when he hit
Speaker 2: the big shot and sent them to the NBA Finals.
Speaker 2: Is that right, Marvin?
Speaker 10: It is one of the harder shots you'll ever see
Speaker 10: because Rashi Wallace, yes, all seven six wingspan of him. Yeah,
Speaker 10: stretched out and he hit that shot. Unbelievable.
Speaker 2: All right, So Shawn Elliott will join us in an
Speaker 2: hour from now Albert Breer the Monday Morning Quarterback. As
Speaker 2: we get ready, one of the worst kept secrets is
Speaker 2: AJ Brown getting traded from the Eagles. Is there a
Speaker 2: third team involved in this? Is it the Patriots and
Speaker 2: dot dot dot? And if you know what they're asking for,
Speaker 2: is somebody's woop in and say we'll give you something
Speaker 2: even better than what the Patriots will. So a lot
Speaker 2: going on. Glad to have you part of the program.
Speaker 2: We're back after this Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 2: Gang's all here ready to go on this Monday best
Speaker 2: and Worst of the weekend.
Speaker 3: Fritzi, are you going somewhere?
Speaker 2: You and Paulie look like you're dressed up to go
Speaker 2: to some place after we just decide to rest up.
Speaker 11: I'm always wearing jerseys and T shirts and no real
Speaker 11: reason other than, you know, start the week on the
Speaker 11: right foot and wear something a little nicer.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Well, Paulie is an adjunct professor, so
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's got something school related after
Speaker 2: the show.
Speaker 9: I'm actually going to a little interview luncheon with my
Speaker 9: daughter at this job she's going for, so I told
Speaker 9: her I would attend with her. Okay, I think I
Speaker 9: look fatherly.
Speaker 3: And then we have Dylan, thank you, No, I think
Speaker 3: I looked.
Speaker 7: I look all right right.
Speaker 11: Yes, Dylan also shamed us a little bit, and rightfully
Speaker 11: so we told us all to get dressed up for
Speaker 11: the big steak lunch for Meat Friday. And some of
Speaker 11: us did, some of us didn't. And I was one
Speaker 11: of those that just wore my regular slovenly clothes. So
Speaker 11: I'm a day late, but.
Speaker 7: You know, a couple of days late, a couple days
Speaker 7: I just do it on Monday. Who cares?
Speaker 3: That's Friday.
Speaker 2: And Marvin is here in the front row of the
Speaker 2: back room. Guys as well, settle on a pole question. Oh,
Speaker 2: Paulie's got a quick NBA Quick, Let's do the quick
Speaker 2: NBA quiz and then and I will settle on a
Speaker 2: poll question.
Speaker 9: First down, here we go, Dan, I got a bunch
Speaker 9: of Hall of famers. That's the rule. You have to
Speaker 9: be a Hall of Famer or future Hall of famer,
Speaker 9: okay to be in this poll.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 9: It's taken Victor Weibinyama a one hundred and eighty one
Speaker 9: regular season games to make his first NBA finals. Which
Speaker 9: hall of famer played the fewest regular season games before
Speaker 9: being in his first final? It might be a little easy,
Speaker 9: but we're going to try to get the first three.
Speaker 9: Magic Johnson correct. Magic Johnson's seventy seven games played.
Speaker 3: Lebron James Lebron.
Speaker 9: Took three hundred and sixteen.
Speaker 3: Games, and that means what where he is an eighth
Speaker 3: on list? Okay?
Speaker 9: This second place is one hundred and thirty two regular
Speaker 9: season games. Lou Al Sindor lewis fourth with one hundred
Speaker 9: and sixty four games played.
Speaker 3: Yes, Martin, little random, but Bill Walton, I.
Speaker 9: Don't have Bill Walton on there.
Speaker 3: That's really really random.
Speaker 9: Tim Duncan one hundred and thirty two games played, okay,
Speaker 9: and then third place tied for third. Larry Bird won
Speaker 9: sixty four. Luel Cinder won sixty four.
Speaker 2: I'd mentioned that Tim Duncan signed one of his shoes
Speaker 2: for me, and I went back to Mario and Mario said,
Speaker 2: I couldn't find it on your desk. I go, He goes,
Speaker 2: I saw the RG three shoes, and I saw the
Speaker 2: Shack shoe. I go, how do you miss Tim Duncan's
Speaker 2: Nike shoe right there? They autographed it right after they
Speaker 2: won the NBA title. He goes, well, I saw the
Speaker 2: RG three, I said, RG three shoes are half the
Speaker 2: size of Tim Duncan's no, right there in front, and
Speaker 2: then you put shacks there, Oh, my goodness, shacks twenty
Speaker 2: two's or although Bob Lanier I think wore size twenty
Speaker 2: two as well. Will Purdue was had one of those
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. Yes, yes, Dylan, do we know what
Speaker 2: sized Tim duncans is. If it's getting dwarfed by shacks,
Speaker 2: it's probably like a seventeen sixteen, seventeen lit gigantic. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but you put it next to shack and it's like crazy. Yes, Tod,
Speaker 2: and that shoe talks about as much as Tim does. Wow,
Speaker 2: I guess we won't get him, will we?
Speaker 11: We'll still not get it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Todd always goes Yeah. I reached out to David
Speaker 2: Robinson and Tim Duncan. I go, We're not getting Tim Duncan.
Speaker 2: He just doesn't care. He doesn't he doesn't need to
Speaker 2: do any of this. David's been with us or no,
Speaker 2: David is. David has always been very accommodating. Tim has
Speaker 2: no interest in, you know, the media, doing any of
Speaker 2: the interviews. Even if he's listening, he's he's just he's
Speaker 2: not interested in any of this he's.
Speaker 3: Got the hot line.
Speaker 11: It can prove us wrong.
Speaker 3: He's got my number.
Speaker 8: There, you go.
Speaker 2: I have his number, but I'm never gonna call him.
Speaker 2: Maybe text him, yes, Paul.
Speaker 9: Biggest shoe size and NBA history three way tie for
Speaker 9: first Shack, Bob Lanier, and Taco fall Oh second place
Speaker 9: when Benyama twenty point five, the Lopez Brothers twenty Karl
Speaker 9: Anthony Towns invented it twenty.
Speaker 2: Okay, could Shack's shoes fit in the corner with the
Speaker 2: three point line and the out of bounds? How much
Speaker 2: space is there between the corner three and out of bounds?
Speaker 2: Because I his shoes might not fit in that amount
Speaker 2: of space there.
Speaker 6: Yes, Dylan, I was surprised that Yao Ming's not up there,
Speaker 6: just based on being like the largest human ever.
Speaker 7: I looked it up. Yao Ming is in eighteen. That's
Speaker 7: like if I was like a size like five.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, but I wonder what the dimensions are with
Speaker 2: these guys with these huge feet.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Paul, the space between the corner three point line
Speaker 9: and the sideline is just under three feet. The UH
Speaker 9: measurement of Shaq's shoes fourteen point sixty six inches.
Speaker 2: Okay, So he's got a little space there, space, a
Speaker 2: little space there. I don't want him shooting the three
Speaker 2: wemby I do. Bob Lanier was a really good shooter.
Speaker 2: Bob Lanier is one of those big guys who wasn't
Speaker 2: afraid to take it outside and shoot. He uh, probably
Speaker 2: underrated too. Bob Lanier was a and he went to
Speaker 2: Saint Bonaventure of all places. Yes, paulin Shaq was one
Speaker 2: for twenty two in his career from three point Lane.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Instead of the day, sat of the day, that boss,
Speaker 3: stead of the day? Stat here comes?
Speaker 5: Here comes that?
Speaker 3: What stat of the day?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: By the way, we had Nate Margatsi on on Friday
Speaker 2: in his new movie The bread Winner and saw some
Speaker 2: reviews online. I don't know what happened at the box
Speaker 2: office there, but Todd said that you went to see
Speaker 2: the Nate Borghetsei movie.
Speaker 10: I did.
Speaker 11: I went late Saturday afternoon with my wife and daughter,
Speaker 11: and it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: It was what I expected.
Speaker 11: There'd be a lot of you know, laugh out loud moments,
Speaker 11: you know, working in some of his stand up type
Speaker 11: of deadpan humor, and his incompetence as a father and husband.
Speaker 11: I just thought that was It was well done, and
Speaker 11: I'm happy for him, and I hope with the numbers
Speaker 11: show it in the box.
Speaker 3: Hope you're happy for him.
Speaker 9: He seems like a really good.
Speaker 11: Guy, and he come on the show. He's been on
Speaker 11: the show a few times, and I'm rooting for it
Speaker 11: to do well. So have other movie opportunities.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, that's nice of you. Thanks, nice of you.
Speaker 2: But is this sort of a play off of Michael Keaton?
Speaker 2: Mister mom?
Speaker 3: I guess you can draw that analogy.
Speaker 11: And it's been a long time since I saw that,
Speaker 11: but I found it very refreshing and it has maybe
Speaker 11: a few common themes, but I thought it was well.
Speaker 4: Done, well written or not.
Speaker 3: You did not see mister mom.
Speaker 11: I did see mister Mom. I just I don't have
Speaker 11: a great recollection. That was a long time ago, even
Speaker 11: though I live in the eighties.
Speaker 2: And what that was, Michael Keaton was great, and mister Mom,
Speaker 2: he was great. Terry garr is in there when he
Speaker 2: holds the baby up to the hand blower, you know,
Speaker 2: when your hands you're in the bathroom hand dryer, you
Speaker 2: put the baby's butt up there after changing baby's diaper.
Speaker 3: He was good. He was really funny in that.
Speaker 2: So regular season games before the first NBA Finals, Magic
Speaker 2: seventy seven, then Duncan, then Byrd, you got Kareem then Victor,
Speaker 2: then you got Shaq Lebron. Alan Iverson is in there
Speaker 2: as well, and then Michael Jordan was seven years in
Speaker 2: before he got to his first NBA Finals. All right,
Speaker 2: christ and Syracuse leads us off best and Worst of
Speaker 2: the weekend. Good morning, Chris, what do you have for us?
Speaker 12: Hey? Thanks Dan? Yeah, best of the weekend. I saw
Speaker 12: this weekend Jalen Brunson on the cover of The New Yorker. Yeah,
Speaker 12: it really illustrates the importance and relevance of New York
Speaker 12: Knicks basketball, even beyond sports fans, and as a Nick fan,
Speaker 12: if the Knicks want to win a title, this is
Speaker 12: the year. The stars have somewhat aligned for the Knicks
Speaker 12: next five years. Spurs and Thunder are only going to
Speaker 12: get better this year. I think og Noby can somewhat
Speaker 12: slow down a Wemby at the age of twenty two
Speaker 12: for the next five or ten years. I don't think
Speaker 12: anybody's slowing down Wemby. I think this NBA Finals all
Speaker 12: the pressure is on the Knicks they've been hyped up
Speaker 12: almost too much. In my worst the Thunder have only
Speaker 12: won one title, but with fans say, I don't seem
Speaker 12: to have that persona as a villain like the New
Speaker 12: England Patriots, and fans want to see them lose. I
Speaker 12: know part of it maybe is the Knicks is such
Speaker 12: a great story and the Wemby factor, but it just
Speaker 12: seems like there's more to it. I'm not exactly sure
Speaker 12: why NBA fans are sick of them already and want
Speaker 12: to move on.
Speaker 2: I think it might be the style of play. It's
Speaker 2: not exciting great home court SBA. You know, he's out
Speaker 2: there hunting for fouls. I don't if there's the tune
Speaker 2: in factor maybe and you know you kind of go
Speaker 2: I have to watch the Thunder because these are big games.
Speaker 2: This is to win the Western Conference finals or they're
Speaker 2: in the NBA Finals. I think that factors into it.
Speaker 2: I went through this with the Spurs where people would
Speaker 2: be like Spurs again instead of looking at how great
Speaker 2: the Spurs were to be able to maintain sustain that.
Speaker 2: You know, we tend to get style points. There are
Speaker 2: certain teams that you want to see. Although Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 2: and the chiefs. I think people grew tired of that.
Speaker 2: We're really quick to move on. I don't think we
Speaker 2: embrace the villain the way we once did. Is you know,
Speaker 2: san Antonio will get to that point if they get
Speaker 2: really consistent here, that's what happens.
Speaker 3: And if you're really.
Speaker 2: Good, then all of a sudden, it's like, okay, we've
Speaker 2: seen this, now what's next. I mean, this is how
Speaker 2: we consume social media. This is how you watch a
Speaker 2: TV show streaming or a movie. You're like, you pause
Speaker 2: it and you move on, you come back to it.
Speaker 2: It's fifteen minutes, as Andy Warhol said, fifteen minutes of fame.
Speaker 2: And it feels like that's what you have. It's like,
Speaker 2: all right, I'm gonna watch. You better be good, you
Speaker 2: better be interesting. And it always helps when you have
Speaker 2: a foil that a lot of times. You know, Lennox
Speaker 2: Lewis was a wonderful fighter, he just didn't have somebody
Speaker 2: so you could have these trilogy fights. I mean, Tiger
Speaker 2: really needed one, even though he was so individually fantastic
Speaker 2: that there was nobody who could stand up to him.
Speaker 2: But like Fraser had Ali, and Fraser needed Ali because
Speaker 2: without Ali Fraser is just a great heavyweight. Now you
Speaker 2: won one of the biggest fights in the history of
Speaker 2: the sport. You got to have that. Pete Sampras didn't
Speaker 2: really have that foil. You know, these tennis players with
Speaker 2: Djokovic and Federer and Nadal, they had each other and
Speaker 2: that made it great. It's a rivalry and that's what
Speaker 2: you want. You want to have a villain at least
Speaker 2: I do. I want to have the team that's great.
Speaker 2: I want to have everybody trying to knock off that
Speaker 2: team because we don't see greatness on a consistent basis
Speaker 2: as much as we used to, and there's reasons for that.
Speaker 2: Players move around, they have the freedom. You can't afford
Speaker 2: too many stars on your team. But when you do
Speaker 2: have that magic, you want to see it unfold. You
Speaker 2: want to see it to completion, to fruition. Yes, Dylan, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 6: Just thinking, we're the like the Tim Duncan Spurs era.
Speaker 6: Were they ever really viewed as like villainous I feel,
Speaker 6: I mean I was younger then, but it seems like
Speaker 6: they just won consistently and didn't really bother anyone.
Speaker 3: They were just boring to people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like that's when your best players. I've said he's
Speaker 2: known as the big fundamental not exactly tuning in for
Speaker 2: highlights of that. Pete Sampras, Yeah, he was unbelievably athletic,
Speaker 2: but didn't display a personality, not really a flair for anything,
Speaker 2: like Jimmy Conners had flair and Macrimville had flair, even
Speaker 2: Agacy had flair. Like that's sort of what we we
Speaker 2: want to see, what we haven't seen. That's why we
Speaker 2: were fascinated with Tiger. Is Tiger a better golfer than
Speaker 2: Jack Nicholas? Probably not more exciting, absolutely, I mean Tiger
Speaker 2: and Arnie would be more of an app comparison of
Speaker 2: oh my god, who's that guy?
Speaker 3: But that's what you want, like Mike Trout, wonderful player. Okay,
Speaker 3: you're not tuning.
Speaker 2: When's the last time you said, ah, I'm going to
Speaker 2: settle in and watch the Angels? Right, it doesn't happen,
Speaker 2: even though.
Speaker 3: He's great as in the outfield game. Yeah maybe the movie.
Speaker 2: But if you say Paul Schemes is pitching today, I'd
Speaker 2: watch Paul Skeens pitch.
Speaker 11: Yes, yes, Tom, I was more fascinated by Cyprusis eyebrows
Speaker 11: than anything he did on the court is that bad?
Speaker 3: Thank you, Tom, Thank you. Nobody advances a story just
Speaker 3: like you do.
Speaker 2: Agasy and Sampress the rivalry fourteen years they feached faced
Speaker 2: each other thirty four times, Sampress one twenty of the
Speaker 2: thirty four. Uh Buddha in San Francisco, Good morning, Buddha,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
Speaker 13: What UPDP? Happy Monday boys, Fama no Speritzy Well DP,
Speaker 13: it finally happened. The Spurs are gonna be able to
Speaker 13: avenge their NBA Cup loss to the Knicks in the finals.
Speaker 14: Man, and honestly, DP sneaky bests.
Speaker 15: The refereeing in Game seven wasn't a topic and the
Speaker 15: NBA got the matchup we wanted, so good for them.
Speaker 14: Best of the weekend, as Shaq says.
Speaker 15: The others showing out in Game seven for the Spurs
Speaker 15: and to your point, Dan, I mean Dylan Harper is
Speaker 15: the truth.
Speaker 14: I mean he's a stud. And the Spurs win was
Speaker 14: like a true.
Speaker 15: And like complete team win and it was fun to
Speaker 15: watch and I look forward to this finals matchup.
Speaker 14: And worst of the weekend.
Speaker 15: Chet Holmgren's disappearing act in Game seven left me shaking
Speaker 15: my head. Man, I mean he got pumped this series
Speaker 15: and Wemby dan is Chet holmgans boogeyman. In Spanish we
Speaker 15: would call him a kukui. And the matchup runs deep
Speaker 15: and has history going back to when you know they
Speaker 15: were teenagers and now lives renfree and Chet's head man not.
Speaker 12: Good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Wemby does not like Chet hunger.
Speaker 2: He when he dunked on him, it was like one
Speaker 2: guy was taking the escalator up and the other.
Speaker 9: I was taking the escalator down. Yeah, Paul Chet got
Speaker 9: there late. He rotated over and he did make a play.
Speaker 9: He didn't let it go by, but he just got
Speaker 9: there late.
Speaker 12: Man.
Speaker 2: He still got dunked, got murdered. You usually get there late.
Speaker 2: If you get dunked on, chances are you got there late.
Speaker 2: Gus in La Hi, Gus. Best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 16: Good more than mister Patrick. Hope you and the boys
Speaker 16: had a great weekend. A couple of good ones of
Speaker 16: the weekend, not too many worse in my opinion, unless
Speaker 16: you're UCLA baseball, but yes we're talking college baseball. My
Speaker 16: us he Trojan scoring fifty to two runs in four games.
Speaker 16: Love it. Hopefully we advanced today. Another little good one
Speaker 16: of the weekend. My Dodgers looked like they kind of
Speaker 16: turned the corner and they're doing good even though we
Speaker 16: lost two key role players. I've got a question about
Speaker 16: the Thunder and the Spurs series, even though Game seven
Speaker 16: turned out to be the one that we had kind
Speaker 16: of been waiting, without the drama, without the noise of
Speaker 16: the reps and everything like that. What will people take
Speaker 16: from this Conference finals, Wemby's dominant or the amount of
Speaker 16: times of foul baiting and everything that resulted in people
Speaker 16: disliking the Thunder.
Speaker 2: I think it'll be Wemby Wemby kind of graduating. I mean,
Speaker 2: you have to watch the Thunder to watch SGA do this.
Speaker 2: And I've said many many times I don't have any
Speaker 2: problem with it. I know, esthetically or look up what
Speaker 2: you're doing to the sport or the great ones, don't
Speaker 2: do that. I get all that, man, I just want
Speaker 2: to win, and if I can bait you into a foul,
Speaker 2: get you.
Speaker 3: Wemby had five fouls.
Speaker 2: Luke Cornett came in and had maybe the biggest play
Speaker 2: of the game, the block. But I want to get
Speaker 2: you in foul trouble. I want to get to the
Speaker 2: free throw line. I want easy, easy points there. I
Speaker 2: don't have any problem with it. I don't do I
Speaker 2: like watching it. I don't, but it is part of
Speaker 2: this whatever you can, whatever advantage you can get until
Speaker 2: I put the pressure on the officials in the NBA
Speaker 2: to change things. And that's why I said there should
Speaker 2: be more play through moments. And if you do that,
Speaker 2: then maybe SGA won't put himself in that position as much.
Speaker 3: Jay take a break. Play of the Day next.

Speaker 2: party yesterday in Brooklyn my one year old grandson. Nobody
Speaker 2: has a worse time than the person, the child.
Speaker 3: Whose birthday it is.
Speaker 2: There's always tears, and he's got that stranger danger, so
Speaker 2: nobody could pick him up. He's looking for his mom,
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden you're like, all right, So
Speaker 2: had a couple of beers, and now you wouldn't think
Speaker 2: that a bunch of neighborhood parents could run up a
Speaker 2: bar to ta. Okay, I'm gonna give you a guestimate here.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna guess probably thirty parents, probably fifteen couples, And
Speaker 2: I will tell you that I had two and a
Speaker 2: half beers. What do you think the bar tab was
Speaker 2: two hours for a one year old birthday?
Speaker 3: Dylan?
Speaker 7: One question? First, okay, two and a half beers.
Speaker 3: I did have two and a half.
Speaker 7: What happened to the third one?
Speaker 2: Well, I wanted to make sure that I didn't fall
Speaker 2: asleep at the one year old's birthday, and it was
Speaker 2: outside and I was like starting to doze off.
Speaker 6: Okay, gotcha. As for the bar tab thirty adults a
Speaker 6: bar in New York City, Brooklyn, in Brooklyn, Yes, I'm
Speaker 6: gonna go forty three hundred dollars, okay, Todd.
Speaker 7: I was going to say something like nine hundred dollars.
Speaker 17: Maybe a thousand, all right, Marvin, twenty three hundred dollars. Really, Paul,
Speaker 17: eleven hundred and fifty dollars, eight hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 17: How do you have forty three hundred dollars? We made
Speaker 17: it sound like they were drinking a lot. I was like,
Speaker 17: I don't know, it's one hundred and twenty bucks a person.
Speaker 2: If they're parents with their kids on a Sunday. I mean,
Speaker 2: this isn't a wedding I would have. I mean I
Speaker 2: thought eight to fifty was a lot. Maybe I misunderstood.
Speaker 9: Yes, Brooklyn prices, I think you got off. Okay.
Speaker 2: My son was a little surprised. There was a little
Speaker 2: bit of a sticker shock there, but yeah, I'm thinking, man,
Speaker 2: eight p fifty for how many drinks. Were you going
Speaker 2: to be having like nobody's pounding? Yes, paul A couple questions.
Speaker 2: It's a one year old's birthday party. How do you
Speaker 2: go from wherever that is to a bar? Or was
Speaker 2: it at that at the bar a one year old?
Speaker 3: Yeah, awesome, Yeah, I think.
Speaker 9: That's your first mistake.
Speaker 2: Well, they had an outdoor area, so you had to
Speaker 2: walk through the bar, but you had to have the
Speaker 2: kids out of there by six o'clock.
Speaker 3: That was the role.
Speaker 2: I always think of that movie Sweet Home Alabama. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a baby in a bar. Yes, yes, so I
Speaker 2: think I missed.
Speaker 6: I think I thought you were saying that they were like, surprisingly,
Speaker 6: these thirty neighborhood parents were just like deleting drinks at
Speaker 6: an alarming rate.
Speaker 7: I think that's where I got confused.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's a one year old's birthday party. These are
Speaker 2: neighborhood families. It's a Sunday. You're not pounding from three
Speaker 2: to five on a Sunday afternoon with your kids there.
Speaker 7: Well maybe if your kids are there, you might actually
Speaker 7: be drinking a little more.
Speaker 2: Nuh, But oh my gosh, it was My grandson did
Speaker 2: not have a good time. Everybody else did, but he
Speaker 2: has stranger danger. Even when he was away from his mom,
Speaker 2: you could see him like up periscope, he's looking, looking, looking,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: My wife's holding him. I'm like, why didn't you just
Speaker 3: send him back to his mom.
Speaker 2: We were holding other people's kids, you know, we got
Speaker 2: to the point where we couldn't hold our grandson, so
Speaker 2: he just grabbed one.
Speaker 3: They're like, all right, here's Nora.
Speaker 7: Hi, Nora.
Speaker 3: Oh she's not crying, Yes, marmon.
Speaker 10: One year old's birthday parties. They're not for the one
Speaker 10: year olds. Yeah, they're for the parents. Hey, we kept
Speaker 10: a child alive for a full year. High five and
Speaker 10: then it was a cowboy theme. Well, okay, I don't
Speaker 10: do theme. I don't do dress up.
Speaker 2: And I walked in my corduroys on and they gave
Speaker 2: me a pandana that I had.
Speaker 3: To put around min.
Speaker 9: Is there a photo?
Speaker 7: I'm going to get it.
Speaker 2: There has to be, I mean, obviously people taking pictures. Oh,
Speaker 2: the number of people wanted to talk about the Knicks.
Speaker 2: You would have thought I had had more beers, because.
Speaker 3: Would be late.
Speaker 2: The woman showed up with a Knicks hat and my
Speaker 2: son goes, hey, such and such gonna ask you about
Speaker 2: the Knicks.
Speaker 3: I said, so, sure enough. What do you think your
Speaker 3: chances are? Why do people hate us? Do you think
Speaker 3: we're underdogs?
Speaker 2: What do you think of Brunson, Bubba is oj and
Speaker 2: Anobi healthy? What about Mitchell Robinson's finger? I said, yeah, sure,
Speaker 2: uh huh, yes, Tom.
Speaker 11: You could have the band down in the corduroy because
Speaker 11: they don't make an no cowboy Fritzy.
Speaker 2: Fritzi wanted to know if the name of the bar
Speaker 2: was chug E Cheese.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you credit for that. Yeah. Update the
Speaker 3: poll results from the first hour of the program.

Speaker 4: well the Knicks, I mean, forget about it. I mean
Speaker 4: you're getting prices what thirty four hundred dollars something crazy? Yes,
Speaker 4: higher than that mark.
Speaker 10: I think it's about four thousand right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 10: It's like it is obnoxious, is whatever additive, whatever word
Speaker 10: you want to use to describe the ticket prices in
Speaker 10: the finals period.
Speaker 2: Greedy and you and you know, I think we all
Speaker 2: have memories of being able to go to one of
Speaker 2: these big games when you're growing up. Like I remember
