1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Somehow made it to the final hour on 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: this Wednesday, Dan and The dan 's Dan Patrick Show. 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 1: We have touched on a variety of topics. A lot 5 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: of movie talk started with Top Gun two. The trailer 6 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: is out. Pauli has already given me the synopsis for 7 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,799 Speaker 1: the movie and he hadn't even seen the trailer. I 8 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: think it's going to be dead on with what his 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: synopsis is, all right, eight seven seven three DP show 10 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: Email adres DPA, Dan Patrick dot Com, Twitter handle a 11 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: DP show. You know, we talk about movies a lot, 12 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 1: and I remember talking to Spike Lee years ago about 13 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,279 Speaker 1: what makes you know, movies magical and he said there 14 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: are times that he loves sports so much because it's 15 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: not scripted. You know, a movie you can make appear 16 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: to be magical, but there's nothing that captures, you know, 17 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: the thrill, the victory, the defeat, the storylines that go 18 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: into an actual sporting event. And here we are again, 19 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: and it always seems like, Wow, who would have thought 20 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: that could happen? Tiger Woods was at Augusta yesterday playing 21 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: eighteen holes, and we're a little more than a week 22 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: away so tomorrow, a week from tomorrow. Thirteen months ago 23 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: he almost died into caringson. He thought he might lose 24 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: part of his leg in that accident, and here he 25 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: is at Augusta playing eighteen holes. Now, if you said 26 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: Tiger in thirteen months after the accident, he's going to 27 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: be playing at Augusta eighteen holes and I go, oh that, 28 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: I mean, that's not happening. That'd be incredible. Now there's 29 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: a chance that he might play in the Masters. I 30 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: don't know how well he can play. I don't know 31 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: how long he can play. I don't know if he 32 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: cares about that, because it might just be a moral victory, 33 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: his own victory. The other victories are for the golf historians. 34 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: And remember when Alex Smith had that gruesome injury and 35 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: you're thinking, you know, hopefully doesn't lose his leg, and 36 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: then his career is over. And then we started hearing 37 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: about all the surgeries and then the rehab, and then 38 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: you went, he just wants to take one snap. He 39 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: already made his millions, had a future as a broadcaster, 40 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: and I was told, all he wants to do is 41 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: take one snap. He played in six games, he won, 42 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: he won five of six games then he retired. It 43 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: was his victory and a lot of times, you know, 44 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: we hope those athletes do it for us, we're fans, 45 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: but they do things for themselves and it might not 46 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 1: be what we think it should be. You know, when 47 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: Jordan played for the Wizards, oh gosh, he's gonna stain 48 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: the memory of what he was with the Bull. Mike 49 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,679 Speaker 1: didn't care. You see Emmett Smith play for the Arizona 50 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: card and oh, I can't picture him in another uniform. 51 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: He didn't care. Tony Dorset another uniform, Franko Harris in 52 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: another uniform, Joe Namath in another uniform, Johnny Unitis. They 53 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: do things for themselves and sometimes it's not what we want, 54 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: that's not the script. And here's Tiger at Augusta. I 55 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: don't know if he could play for consecutive rounds, but 56 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: man as that must see TV, even if he just 57 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: plays sort of a ceremonial round that You have a 58 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: lot of these former Master's champs and they can't put up, 59 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: you know, competitive numbers, but you're invited back if you 60 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: won the Masters. And maybe Tiger just wants to that's 61 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: his favorite course, and you know, maybe if they pair 62 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: him with Justin Thomas, his good buddy. They played yesterday, 63 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: and maybe he has that moment where he gets to 64 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: come back from this and maybe. I'm sure his goals 65 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: are bigger than that, but just to be able to 66 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: tee it up. Because I thought maybe if you said 67 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: he's going to the Masters this year, I would think 68 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: he'd be part of the ceremonial first team, Like he 69 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: would just have a tea shot and that would be it. 70 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: He'd be out there with Jack Nicholas, you know, go 71 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: to the dinner, maybe play a little bit in the 72 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: par three and that'd be it. And I would be 73 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 1: satisfied with that. But now he's Tiger, he's gonna try 74 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: to play. It seems yeah. Seen. I wonder how satisfying 75 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: it is, though, just for him to get out there 76 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: and play around with his son rather than, you know, 77 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,799 Speaker 1: is the Masters the most important thing? Or was getting 78 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: out there with his kid the more important thing? I 79 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: wonder where that motivation. I don't know, But if he 80 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: can play with his son at the par three at Augusta, 81 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: that's another one of those You're doing it with your son, 82 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: and I think that's big two. But to go out 83 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: there then you know, on Thursday and start playing and 84 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: play for real. That's different. But you could see a 85 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: different joy with Tiger when he was playing with his son. 86 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: Then that made for TV event. It was just it 87 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 1: was fun to watch him watch his son. Yeah, Pa, 88 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: maybe they let Tiger and his son play a little 89 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: two man scramble and the son could do the team 90 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: off the big shots and Tiger could bring it home. 91 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: Is there any chance? You mentioned Alex Smith? And I 92 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: didn't think about until he said it. I don't want 93 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: to speculate, but as any chance, Tiger Wood says, I'm 94 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: gonna go back and play around the best I can 95 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,679 Speaker 1: in the Masters and call it. He's only he's only 96 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: forty six, or he's forty six. He's an old forty six, right. 97 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: Is there any chance? Monday morning, he says, that's good. 98 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: I just wanted to get a hallowed ground one more time. 99 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: I have no idea. I mean, he's a Rubik's cube, 100 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,679 Speaker 1: trying to figure him out, and you know, his back, 101 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: his knee, now his leg. You know, you're just like, 102 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: what's left? What do you want? And maybe it's just 103 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: to show hey, no matter what the obstacle was, Remember 104 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 1: when we thought, you know he may play in Augusta. 105 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: We had a caller saying, I'm going to guarantee he 106 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: wins the Masters, right, you're crazy. He wins the Masters. 107 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: So every time you go, well, you know, Tiger can't 108 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: do that, he can't hit that shot, he can't come 109 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: from behind and win it, and then you go, you 110 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: know he did. Yeah time. He's so competitive though, and 111 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: unless he's in unbearable pain after the first round, if 112 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: he does anything decent where he thinks he can somehow 113 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:29,919 Speaker 1: make the cut, it would be hard to believe that 114 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: he wouldn't continue unless it was just so you know, 115 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: physically unbearable that he couldn't continue in a few more days. 116 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: Thank you, Tudd. You're welcome. Augusta National Golf Club, one 117 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: of golf's greatest stages, host the world's best amateurs Augusta 118 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: National the Women's Amateurs, Saturday at noon Eastern on NBC 119 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,119 Speaker 1: in Peacock. Go to Peacock tv dot com to sign 120 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: up now. I always marvel when you look at careers. 121 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: The first half of Tiger's career is as good as 122 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: anybody who's ever played the sport. But as much as 123 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: I marvel about his first ten years. Let's say he 124 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: went almost ten years without winning a major. So if 125 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: I said, hey, what's more not impressive, but what stands out, 126 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: what's more shocking, it wouldn't be the first ten years, 127 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: It'd be the next ten years where you go and 128 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: won a major. Because we thought it was a foregone 129 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: conclusion he's going to pass Jack on the all time 130 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: record for majors. He'll blow by eighteen. And then I 131 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: started looking at Albert Pooholes his numbers. First ten years, 132 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: it's unbelieve. He's a Hall of Famer. After ten years, 133 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: three MVPs, won two World Series titles, the numbers are incredible, 134 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: one of the great right handed hitters of all time. 135 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: And then it was the next ten years where you go, 136 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: he didn't do anything. He was like a little better 137 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: than an average player. So if you said what's more 138 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: surprising the first ten or the second ten with Albert Poohles, 139 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: I'd probably say the first ten because we didn't know 140 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: anything about him. I think it was a thirteenth round 141 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: draft pick. We didn't know anything about him. And then 142 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: when we did know everything about him, he goes to 143 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: the Angels and doesn't do anything. Yeah, poem he had. 144 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: In his first ten years with the Cardinals, his batting 145 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: average was three twenty eight and four hundred and forty 146 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: five home runs. That'll get you right into the Hall 147 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: of Fame. His second ten years, all with Los Angeles, 148 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: he had two fifty six with two hundred twenty two 149 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: home runs. Well, you also think of Ken Griffey Junior, 150 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 1: because Ken Griffey Junior had this unbelievable start to his career. 151 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: Now he had injuries. He was the face of the sport. 152 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: Nike had him as you know, presidential candidate. You know, 153 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: they were promoting him that way. Then he goes to Cincinnati, 154 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: the injuries caught up to him. He had two different careers. 155 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: Albert Poole's two different careers. Tigers had three different careers. 156 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: You know, imagine if Tom Brady won all of his 157 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: Super Bowls in the first eleven years of his career 158 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: and then went ten years without nothing, that was sort 159 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: of what Tiger did. Now Tiger did come back again 160 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: to win a major, and here we are not done yet, yeah, Pauling. 161 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 1: Ken Griffy's very similar in Seattle. His first thirteen years 162 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: he hit three hundred with four hundred seventeen home runs, 163 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: which is they were not way less than Poolholess numbers. 164 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: Then Cincinnati, he was a nice player, hit two seventy 165 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: or two hundred and ten homers. Nice. Yeah, three All 166 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: Star parents were Cincinnati. Yeah, got to play with his father. 167 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: They both hit home runs in the same game. But yeah, 168 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: Tiger at Augusta. I mean it's it's must see TV anyway, 169 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: But that Thursday, a week from tomorrow. I just want 170 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: to see is he playing in the par three? Is 171 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: he going to play in that? How cool would it 172 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: be to have Tiger and Jack with his ceremonial first 173 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: tea and Gary Player is still alive. You don't have 174 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: Arnie anymore? Yeah, Seed, What do you think is more 175 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: likely to keep Tiger out though? His physical ability or 176 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: his level of play, like not being able to play 177 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: up to his standards? Well I think those are attached, 178 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: they're intertwined. Yeah, they're absolutely But I can't imagine that 179 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 1: he would put himself out there that he could be 180 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: embarrassed where you know, you might have a seven on 181 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: a par three or something. Not that that hasn't happened 182 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: too great players who are healthy. I just even when 183 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 1: we go out and shoot on the court and if 184 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: I miss like three shots in the row, like I'm embarrassed. 185 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: But that hasn't happened yet, not yet. No, it did 186 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 1: happen one time. Remember my mom called in and I 187 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: missed three shots and she said, Danny, what's wrong? And 188 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: I said, what do you mean? She goes missed three 189 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: shots in a row? And I go, I know. I 190 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: was like damn, and she was right, like you just 191 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: and that's just my little world. Tigers doing this for 192 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: the world, the real world where they're going to be 193 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: watching him, and you don't want to. You know, the 194 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 1: sport will humble you. Of all the sports, golf humbles 195 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: you because there are days where you go, don't I 196 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: don't even know how to play, And then you'll play 197 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: and you go, what am I doing? I'm playing great, 198 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: I can't miss. I'm going on the corn Ferry Tour, 199 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: ready to go. But I love that he When you 200 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: go through rehab, anybody who's gone through it, Lord knows 201 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,479 Speaker 1: our audience has gone through or going through rehabbing an injury, 202 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: you want to have a goal, like what's the goal? 203 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: And when I went through all my health issues for 204 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: eight years, my goal was can I just play? Eighteen 205 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 1: holes of golf and you know, not being in pain, 206 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: in misery. That was it. I just wanted to play. 207 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: Could I walk? Could I you know, climb steps? Like 208 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,719 Speaker 1: simple things where you go. That's my goal. My goal 209 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: was to play eighteen holes, and I kept having that goal. 210 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: I couldn't even swing a club for years, but you know, 211 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: you just have to do this. Anybody who's going through 212 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: something now you're like, my goal is too. At least 213 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,839 Speaker 1: it should be because that helps you through it. If not, 214 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: you just sit in your dark world and you're like, 215 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: is this ever gonna end? Am I ever gonna feel better? 216 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: But when you start to make progress and then you 217 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: realize that you might reach your goal. First time I 218 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: played golf, I played horrible. I hadn't played in eight years. 219 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: I hadn't played, but damn it felt great. It was 220 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 1: like this is awesome. But I'm spraying the ball out 221 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: of bounds in the water. And then you know, I'm 222 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: playing with my friends and they're like, you seem okay 223 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: with this. I go, Yes, I get to play. Didn't 224 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: think I'd ever get to play. Yeah, that's what I remember. 225 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: We had Alex Smith on after he left Washington and 226 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: you asked him, why don't why don't you keep going 227 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: become a backup. I think it was thirty six when 228 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: he retired. Yeah, he could have played three more years 229 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: as a backup and gotten the games. He said, Nah, 230 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,839 Speaker 1: it wasn't about continuing. It's about checking the box set. 231 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: I'm retiring on my own, by my own choice. And 232 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: he had to have that goal because if you watch 233 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: that documentary or that piece on him, I mean I 234 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: had to turn it off. It's it was so it's 235 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: like in your face what he was going through and 236 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: nearly losing his leg. It looked like he had put 237 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: his leg in a meat grinder. But in his mind, 238 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: you're a competitor, you're an athlete, and I think that's 239 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: what Tiger has to be thinking. It's I gotta do this. 240 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: Why wouldn't I do this? I should try this, and 241 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: maybe maybe it's more than just playing. In the part 242 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 1: three with his son, all right, we'll come back. We 243 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: got a lot of phone calls to get to. We've 244 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: talked a lot about the MVP this year in the NBA. 245 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 1: I said it was Joe ellen Beads to lose, and 246 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: it might be yon us Is to win. The way 247 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: he's played down the stretch and it's it's one of 248 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: those what have you done for me lately? And he's 249 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: competing against himself. Therefore, I thought himbiid would be the 250 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: story because he would be a new story. It's hard 251 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,599 Speaker 1: to argue anybody is better, more valuable both ends of 252 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: the floor than the Greek freak. We'll take a break 253 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: back after this and the Dan Patrick Show. Link Soul 254 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: is here. I got my link so on today.

Thanks for joining us, Brian. I 290 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: mentioned that you said everything will be on the table 291 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: for the Lakers this offseason, that includes Anthony Davis. What 292 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: leads you to believe that? I just I don't, Dan, 293 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what they're gonna do. I'm looking at 294 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: with the cards that they're holding, I just don't know 295 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: how they dramatically get out of this situation. And so 296 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: I think they'll discuss it. Do I think they'll do it? 297 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't see a trade that makes 298 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: sense for them right now. Also, I don't know if 299 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: I would trade a guy who's a top fifteen player 300 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: when he's healthy, because it's so hard to get that, 301 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: and I don't think you're going to get that in return. 302 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: So ultimately I don't think they will. But I'm just 303 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 1: looking at what they have to do. Like again, I 304 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,360 Speaker 1: honestly think that they're gonna have to call the other 305 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: twenty nine teams and they're gonna have to say, what 306 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: can you send us Russell Westbrook, you know, not as 307 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: a player, forget about him as a player, just as 308 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: a forty seven million dollar expiring contracts. We will gather 309 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: the contracts you don't want on your books anymore, and 310 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: we'll take them. We'll take three NBA players, whoever they are, 311 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: and you can use Russell Westbrook to sell tickets to 312 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: rebuild your salary cap to release, and we will take 313 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: any three players. I mean, I honestly think that's where 314 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: they're going to have to start. And I still don't 315 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: know if they're going to get takers or somebody that 316 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: doesn't say, yeah, we'll take them, but send us your 317 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: unprotected twenty twenty seven first round tech. I just think 318 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 1: it's gonna be really hard. It sounds hopeless. What's not 319 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: hopeless if you have Lebron and a d I mean, 320 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,959 Speaker 1: just to be clear, but they're both healthy and playing. 321 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: They're really good. But Dan, when they won the title 322 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 1: in the Bubble, they were the number one defensive team 323 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: there in Orlando, and last year they were, Remember they 324 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: were in a really good position before Lebron sprained his ankle. 325 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: Those are really bad injury and it derailed them. But 326 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 1: for the season they were the number one defensive team, 327 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: number one, so they had good bones. If you will 328 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: and so when they traded for Russell Westbrook, a lot 329 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: of people focus on, oh, it was just a terrible 330 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: fit with Lebron, and that's true, of course, But to 331 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: get Russell Westbrook, they traded away the core of their defense. 332 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: K Tavia's call well, Pope and Kyle Kuzma really valuable 333 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: defensive players, and the guys they replaced them with were not. 334 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: And so they've gone from number one defense. I didn't 335 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: check it this morning, but like they've been down around twenty. 336 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: That's a catastrophic fall when their team was built on 337 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: doing that. And so that is the issue. How do 338 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 1: you recapture that when you've already gassed all of your 339 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: resources to get a player that is not working? And 340 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,959 Speaker 1: I know you brought this up that Lebron works in 341 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: four year increments, whether it's Cleveland, Miami, Cleveland, now with 342 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: Los Angeles, Well, I don't think he can work in 343 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: a four year increment now in LA. Is he there 344 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: for the rest of his career? I don't think he's 345 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: going anywhere. I don't think he wants to go anywhere. 346 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: You know, I was looking. So the Lakers team is 347 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: the oldest team in the NBA, and so I wanted 348 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: to know the oldest team since went and I had 349 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: somebody here at ESPN gold researcher for me, and he 350 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: said it is the oldest team since the two thousand 351 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: and ten Calves, and I was not surprised at all. 352 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 1: And by the way, that doesn't even include the two 353 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: fourteen Miami Heat where when they lost at finals to 354 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: the Spurs. I went into the locker room Shane Battier 355 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 1: announced his retirement. In the locker room, Ray Allen basically 356 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: brought the ball to the one yard line on retiring 357 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: and Are Lewis, who started the game that night, never 358 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: played in the NBA again. So three of the you know, 359 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: three of the starters, three of the top six players 360 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: from his last year in Miami never played again. So 361 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: this is what happens when you have Lebron. You pour 362 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: yourself and you trade your draft picks, you signed veterans, 363 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: you do everything you can't and a franchise just can't 364 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: do that over and over and over. And two years 365 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: ago I would have told you, oh, they have a 366 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: d who's in his mid twenties and in his prime. 367 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 1: Maybe that won't happen now, Maybe the window will extend 368 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: maybe they've learned from watching what happened with the Calves 369 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: and then the Heat and then the Calves again, because 370 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,719 Speaker 1: by the way Calves twenty eighteen, they were relying on 371 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 1: Kyle Korver and Jeff Green and stuff like that. And 372 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: then they do the West portrayed. They signed, you know, 373 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: five guys in their mid to late thirties, and we 374 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: are in the exact same spot. And when Lebron left 375 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: the Heat, they were lucky that they still had Dwayne Wade. 376 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: But when Lebron left the Calves the first time, they 377 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: were awful. The Lebron left the Calves the second time, 378 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: they were awful. The Lakers, if Lebron were to leave 379 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 1: right now would be a you know, non playoff team. 380 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: That's what being with Lebron for a year on a 381 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 1: year out does. If you look back, and I know, 382 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 1: you know the benefit of hindsight there, why couldn't Lebron 383 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: make it work with the younger players that he had. 384 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 1: That that nucleus is still a pretty good nucleus and 385 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: even in you know, good players on other teams. Why 386 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: was he not willing to make that work? Well, first off, 387 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,719 Speaker 1: Lebron has never valued draft picks. Or playing with young players. 388 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: If you go look at his career, he's only played 389 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: with a handful of first round picks because most of 390 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 1: them been traded. And I always remember when he came 391 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: back to Cleveland, you know, and he wrote his you know, 392 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: a letter and he was like, yeah, I'm looking forward 393 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: to playing with these guys. And he didn't mention Andrew Wiggins, 394 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 1: who had just been drafted with the Norm went overall 395 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: pick like fifteen minutes before, and he was like, bye bye, 396 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: I'm interested in Kevin Love. And so part of it 397 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: is the teams he's playing with reacting to him. And 398 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 1: so one of the young players he's actually played with 399 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: in the last couple of years is Taylor Horton. Tucker 400 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: was one of the few guys who have been a 401 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,959 Speaker 1: draft deck. He's taken along like Daniel Gibson, Taylor Horton, Tucker, 402 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: Norris Cole, like this is the list, Dan, that's the list. 403 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: It's never been something he's valued, Like when we saw 404 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 1: what he did when he retweeted less Sneed who traded 405 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: all those picks? And you know the parade in La 406 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: he wore that shirt it said f them picks. Lebron 407 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: tweeted that and he goes legend. I think he said 408 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: legend with multiple exclamation points. Lebron's like, get me one 409 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,640 Speaker 1: of those shirts. Like that's the way Lebron feels. So 410 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 1: it's hard to stay young when you perpetually are wanting 411 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: your peers, and Lebron's peer age is going up and 412 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: up and up to be with you on the team. 413 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: Brian Winhorst, ESPN, Senior NBA writer, is your answer different 414 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: if I say who should win MVP and who will 415 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: win MVP? Well, I've pretty consistently voted in our straw 416 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 1: poles for mvied. I think he's been amazing. I think 417 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: he plays at both ends of the court. I think 418 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: the things that he does, I mean like people talk 419 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: about Nikola Yokich what he does for the Nuggets offense 420 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: and of course, in fact earlier this year, Dan, I, 421 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 1: you know, most of the media doesn't sit on the 422 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: floor anymore. They've sold those seats, they've moved us off. 423 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: I've got gray hair now. When all my hair was brown, 424 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: I sat on the court. You probably have sat on 425 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 1: the court many times. I sat in a game in 426 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: Oklahoma City and I sat in the like the second 427 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 1: or third row. So I was basically eye level with 428 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: Yokich and I could kind of see what he seed 429 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: that he sees, and my admiration for him won't even 430 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 1: higher because I could see actually how great his reeds 431 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: were in real time at his eye level. I won't 432 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: take anything away from him. But if you watch him, 433 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 1: indeed he does a lot for the six years offense, 434 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: He comes out in the high picking roll, he sets 435 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: things up, he plays inside, he plays outside. I believe 436 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: he still to this moment has my MVP vote. But 437 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: our straw poll that Tim Bonds has on our staff 438 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: did and this I can't emphasize this enough. And I 439 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: noticed that Caesar's move their odds after this poll came 440 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: out because Caesars has watched this poll. This is a 441 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: poll of one hundred likely MVP voters. There's only one hundred. 442 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: And when Tim does this poll, he doesn't call twenty 443 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: five people in New York and twenty five people in 444 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. He calls people in every NBA city. He 445 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: talks to people in Italy, he talks to people in 446 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: outside the country who who because those guys get MVP votes. 447 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: He talks to broadcast. He's talked to radio people, he 448 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 1: talks to TV, to writers. It's a real poll of 449 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 1: how the voters are feeling. That came out yesterday, and 450 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 1: that poll says Yokich is in the lead. It's it's 451 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: not a huge margin, but he is in the lead. 452 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: And the odds immediately started flipping. And they were right, 453 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: because you can make a case stand for somebody else. 454 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: So I could listen to it and agree with you, 455 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: this is where the voters are thinking today that it's 456 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 1: Having voted on it for many, many years, it always 457 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: felt like we were looking for a new story when 458 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: in Karl Malone, Charles Barkley and I kept voting for Jordan, 459 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: and then you know, media members in the in Phoenix, 460 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: in Salt Lake would be critical of me, and I go, 461 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: I just know what I know, and I know what 462 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: I see. Mike's the most valuable player. I was watching 463 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: Jannis last night against Embiid. I think Jannis is competing 464 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: with himself and we take him for granted, like he's 465 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: gotten to the point where we're taking for granted, which 466 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: isn't fair to him. And we told that story and 467 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: I said, I thought Embiid was going to win it 468 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 1: or at least the last couple of months. Because we 469 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 1: haven't told that story. I don't know how much that 470 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: factors into this. Brian. We've told the joke, you know, 471 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: Yokich story. This is the one that it feels like, 472 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: all right, Joe, well, embiad is next. It's like the 473 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: actor who hasn't won the Academy Award. Okay, now it's 474 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 1: your turn. That's exactly right. Well, I'll just bring up 475 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: the classic case of this Westbrook. You know, there hadn't 476 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: been an MVP who hadn't had been on a fifty 477 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: win team and something like twenty five years. It was 478 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: like Moses Malone, I came here. If it was with 479 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: I think it was with the Rockets in the early eighties. 480 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: Typically the MVP came off one of the three or 481 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 1: four best teams in the league. But that year with Westbrook, 482 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: we were all into that story of the get back 483 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: season on Durant and then he put the cherry on 484 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: top with the triple doubles. And I remember this game 485 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: that he played in Denver right about this time, maybe 486 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: a little bit later, early April. It was a night 487 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: he guaranteed himself. I think the triple double he knew 488 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: he was going to get it to the average of 489 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: triple double, and he hit like a twenty five footer 490 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: at the buzzer to win the game and eliminate the 491 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 1: Nuggets from playoff contention. I'm going to underline that he 492 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 1: eliminated the Nuggets from playoff contention in Denver, and the 493 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 1: crowd in Denver gave him a standing ovations. Not a 494 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: good sign for the Nuggets faithful, but was an indication 495 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: of how much those fans loved the story. They loved 496 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 1: the story of Westbrook getting back at Durant by doing this, 497 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: and in a situation like that, the story carried the day. 498 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: So they finished like the six or seventh seed and 499 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: he won the MVP. So that's definitely a case. The 500 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: other thing is, you're right, Janice isn't contending against Embid 501 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: and Yokich. He's contending against himself from previous years when 502 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: he won his second MVP. A couple of years ago, 503 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: he won Defensive Player of the Year and MVP. It's 504 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: one of the great seasons we've seen in the modern era. 505 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: I voted for Lebron I think seven years in a 506 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: row between two thousand and maybe nine and two about 507 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen. He won four of them. I would argue 508 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,479 Speaker 1: that some of those years he was still the best player. 509 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: But the first year in Miami, the story wasn't great. 510 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,919 Speaker 1: First year back in Cleveland, they were nineteen and twenty 511 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: coming out of the gates. It is everything that you said. 512 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 1: I couldn't have said better myself. How good is Lebron's son. 513 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: He's very good. He's going to be a I don't 514 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 1: know if he's going to go play in college. If 515 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: he were to go play in college, he would probably 516 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: get a high major offer. Whether he would be a 517 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 1: star on that team, I don't know having seen him play. 518 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: He is in tremendous physical condition. He was in better 519 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: condition than his dad was at the same age because 520 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: his dad never lifted a weight in his life. Till 521 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: he was sixteen. This kid was having personal training I 522 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: don't know when he was ten. So he's done incredible 523 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: work on his physique. He's very, very conditioned, but he 524 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: is not the athlete Lebron was. Lebron was six foot seven, 525 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: six foot eight, two hundred forty pounds when he was 526 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: seventeen and he came into the NBA. He was one 527 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: of the few eighteen year olds ever, who physically wasn't intimidated. 528 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: The only player that intimidated Lebron as a rookie was 529 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: run our test. He's the only guy who could get 530 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: into Lebron. That would not be the case for most 531 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: eighteen years. So Brownie is very skilled. I talked to. 532 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: I think he's listened as a four star prospect. So 533 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: think about that. A four star prospect, that's what Kentucky 534 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: North Carolina used to lay go after. He would be 535 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: able to play a school like that. How many four 536 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: star prospects make the NBA. I don't know what the 537 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: percentage is, but it's not super duper high. Obviously, if 538 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: he wants to be in the NBA, he'll get a 539 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: chance in the NBA. That will be his last name 540 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,719 Speaker 1: will carry him as to that. But I think assuming 541 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: that he's going to be ready at age nineteen, that's 542 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: a big ass dan. Maybe he will be. I mean 543 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: that's two years from now. Maybe he will be. But 544 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: when I saw him play, he was a freshman, and 545 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: there were two guys on his team that year that 546 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: are now in the NBA, Zaire Williams who's with the Grizzlies, 547 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: and Brandon Bosters with the Clippers. Those guys, when you 548 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: saw them, you were like, Voa, I will see that 549 00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:00,719 Speaker 1: gentleman in the NBA in two years. Don't get that 550 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: same vibe. And people I talked to don't get that 551 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 1: same vibe about Brownie. There are actually people and I've 552 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: never seen his younger son, Bryce play. There are people 553 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: who have told me that Bryce actually might be the 554 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,479 Speaker 1: better prospect amongst the two. But his but Bryce, I 555 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: think is thirteen or something like that. I don't I 556 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: don't know if we can go that far down the list. 557 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: I remember watching when Lonzo Ball was playing and lo 558 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: Angelo and LaMelo and I'm watching and I think he 559 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: was a freshman at the time, LaMelo and I said, 560 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: that's the guy who I think is going to be 561 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: the best player. But he didn't know how to play 562 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: like he was just all over the place and they, 563 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: you know, they all they did is running gun. Lonzo 564 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: loved his passing. Lo Angelo could shoot. I thought LaMelo 565 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: had the entire game. I didn't know that he would 566 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: be this good. But you know, you start to see 567 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: guys in the embryonic stages and then you you know 568 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: that that's what they're always trying to project. It's really 569 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 1: hard to do. And I that's why when somebody says 570 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: can play in the NBA, and I'm like, I don't know. 571 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: I've watched him play and there are times when he's 572 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: on the floor and I don't know he's on the floor. 573 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,479 Speaker 1: When LaMelo was on the floor, I knew that he 574 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: was on the floor. He was involved in everything, yes, 575 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 1: And I mean, I don't think it's a matter I mean, 576 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a matter of comparing him to Lebron, 577 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: because Lebron was the greatest high school player that people 578 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: who watched high school basketball for fifty years I've ever scene. 579 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 1: But I would argue that it's I don't know if 580 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: he's making the best decision about putting the pressure on Ronnie. 581 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: Maybe he is. I mean, maybe this is he thinks 582 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 1: he's going to react for pressure. But when you go 583 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: out and say, I really can't wait to play with 584 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: my son, because you know, when Lebron was coming of age, 585 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: Ken Griffey and Ken Griffey Jr. Were doing that, and 586 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: Ken Griffey Jr. Was a mega star in the world 587 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: of sports. When Lebron was thirteen fourteen, fifteen years old, 588 00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,120 Speaker 1: the guy at mid Nike who was Babe like Lebron's 589 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: father figure Lynn Merritt. Before he handled Lebron for Nike, 590 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: he handled Ken Griffy Jr. Lebron's first game as a 591 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: CAV in the Nike seats Phil Knight, Lynn Merritt, Ken 592 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: Griffy Junior, and Worldwide West. But Ken Griffy Junior came 593 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: to his first game, so I think he had this 594 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: affinity for that for decades now. It's a lot to 595 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: ask from the young man. And I will say this. 596 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: I spent time at Sierra Canyon, where he plays in 597 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: the San Fernando Valley. Dan. I couldn't be more impressed 598 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 1: with a high school basketball program, And the thing that 599 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 1: I love about it is that there's no they're not 600 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: pretending what they're doing. They know exactly what they're doing. 601 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: They're trying to prepare professional athletes. He couldn't be at 602 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: a better place. I'm sure it's one of the reasons 603 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: why Lebron sent moved out to LA. He's getting every 604 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: advantage possible. And one of the things is they don't 605 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: let Brownie do interviews. Like when I went to see 606 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 1: him play, wasn't now the interview him. So I thought, oh, 607 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: that's really good, and then I saw that there was 608 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: a camera crew following him around. He putting all the 609 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: way out to his car to get into us. This 610 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: is a fourteen or fifteen year old freshman all the 611 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: way out to his car to get into his car, 612 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: and the camera crew was from Lebron's company. So you know, 613 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know, are we protecting him? 614 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 1: Are we not? And you know, I don't have a 615 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: star seventeen year old son. What do I know. I'm 616 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: not an MBA superstar. I don't know, but I worry 617 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: that his experience is not going to be maybe what 618 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 1: it could be. It's always great to catch up with you. 619 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us, Brian, thanks for having me. Dan. 620 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: It's Ryan Windhorst, ESPN Senior NBA rider. He always has 621 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 1: something you haven't heard. He always does, and a lot 622 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: of great stuff there with Lebron. But I always I 623 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 1: look back, and I know Lebron doesn't like playing with 624 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: younger players, but you had that young nucleus with the Lakers, 625 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: and I like that nucleus. Not everybody was all in 626 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: on Lonzo ball, and I thought that you could you 627 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: could make him at least an adequate shooter. And I 628 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: liked Ingram. I mean, even Julius Randall think they Kuzma kuzm. 629 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 1: I think kind of bought in on I want to 630 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,720 Speaker 1: be a Laker, like I want you to be great. 631 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,920 Speaker 1: And maybe he felt like, you know, he was gonna 632 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 1: his growth would be stunted because you're playing with Lebron. 633 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 1: And I understand all of those things. I just if 634 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 1: you said to Lebron, you could have that younger nucleus, 635 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: or you could have Anthony Davis. I know AD helped 636 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 1: him get another title. I don't know if he's going 637 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: to help him get another one. Take a break, last 638 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 1: call for phone calls. We're back after this and The 639 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show.

Of course the stalin was down, 694 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 1: but he should have made it a a party. They were 695 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 1: just there, so it just it stinks that he canceled 696 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 1: the show. But that's all I got.

Eric Church, 698 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: he's a big North Carolina fan and he wants to 699 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: see Carolina against Duke, and that would coincide with the 700 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,359 Speaker 1: concert he had in San Antonio. But he did tell 701 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 1: you why he was canceling it, and he said, look, 702 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 1: it's it's the most selfish thing I've done.
