12
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: Like one one too many drinks. That's how I feel

13
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: like right now. Yeah, like when it was time to

14
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: call it quits. You always gamble a little too much

15
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: or just have one too many drinks, a little too many.

16
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: But I had a good time having fun here at

17
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: Mandalay Bay. We went out for dinner last night. We

18
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: went to this place called Retro.

19
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 2: Have you guys seen it? Walking around?

20
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: It's kind of cool, but it kind of makes you

21
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: feel a little older. You're like, wait, all the stuff

22
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: that we grew up with. Is retro considered old, like

23
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: in a museum, you know, turntables, view Masters, Rubik's Cube, simon,

24
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: games like this song Slinkys it's just ketches. Well, I

25
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: was like an older a landline phone, a boombox, all

26
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: the stuff that you had as a kid is now

27
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: a theme restaurant VCR. That's all old in a museum

28
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: like restaurant here called retro. So we stuffed our faces

29
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: and even the food was retro stuff we grew up with,

30
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: kind of like TV dinner style, kind of like Salisbury steak,

31
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: but they had spaghettios. They had straight up spaghettios last

32
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: night at this place.

33
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: But you know, we indulged.

34
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: We lived it up here on a business trip here

00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: He's very red.

48
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,000

Speaker 3: around pushing a basketball.

98
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 4: It was the coolest thing.

107
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 3: adults were screaming and pushing and holding their phones up.

108
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: Brandy Spears got knocked down again again again trying to

109
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: get a picture with this guy.

110
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,160

Speaker 1: And Rich at Fox Sports Radio on our social media page,

113
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: you could see the reaction and the hype and the microscope.

114
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: This guy's under the pressure, he must be under, which

115
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: sort of explains maybe the rough day at the office

116
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: day one, but he's got a second game today and

117
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: they see how that goes. But to see him in

118
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: action walking acro, it's kind of wild.

119
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 3: Man.

120
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything like that really ever, to see

121
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: a crowd is build up like that, And dannyg got

122
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: to see it and we got it on video if

123
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: you want to check it out. When Ben Yama makes

124
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: us all feel like little children? Has anyone seen that

125
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: viral picture that went around where he was with all

126
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: the other Spurs legends. Ginobili is six six, there's a

127
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: you know, we'll post it again at Covino and Rich,

128
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: but just googled when Benyama with Spurs Legends and I

129
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: think Manu's up to his nipples. Yeah, dude was enormous.

130
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: And then he got on stage at NBA con yesterday

131
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: with Kareem Abdul Jabbar. I don't know if you guys

132
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: did some of you guys see that They did this

133
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,559
Speaker 1: whole then then and now sort of conversation to the crowd,

134
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: which was so awesome, and he talked about being just

135
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: a young kid, and I think that's what we need

136
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: to keep in mind sometimes as fans and look, I

137
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: was not hard on him, but we couldn't help.

138
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 2: But notice he had a rough first game, but first

139
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: Summer League game. Easy again, guy, Come on, but you

140
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: were you were there.

141
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, he looked a little little frazzle,

142
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: a little razzled, but he's nineteen years old, so I

143
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: mean you got to put it in perspective.

144
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 2: And that's what he was saying yesterday.

145
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: Now he's here to learn and learn from the legends,

146
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: and he seems like he's being embraced by all these guys.

147
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, because Kareem said he went through the same thing.

148
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 3: Kareem said, Look, I went through the same exact thing

149
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 3: you're going through right now. Just give it time and

150
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 3: you will accliment that. You'll acclimate yourself to the NBA game.

151
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: Just keep in mind, this dude can't drink. He's nineteen.

152
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: What were you doing when you were nineteen? And then

153
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: think what this guy's doing at nineteen.

154
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: Oh with an entourage like that. I think he can drink.

155
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: You were trying to like sneak into a college bar,

156
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: you know, try to hook up with some girl in

157
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,080

Speaker 1: world of the NBA. Want to know what the fans

183
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: think about it? What you think about it? Now, there's

184
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: a saying that.

185
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 4: We go by.

186
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: We've set it for years.

187
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: We stole it from Gary Vayner Chuck, and it's innovate

188
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: or die, innovator die.

189
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 2: And sometimes change is a little.

190
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: Listen, you go get mad when they have like a

191
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: new update in your iPhone, Hey, what did they do it?

192
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 4: Apple? Things?

193
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: And then a week later you're like, remember when you

194
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: lost the button on your iPhone and you're like, I

195
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: have to swipe.

196
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 2: I'm never gonna get used to this.

197
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 3: Remember when they took the headphone jack away.

198
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 2: We'll never adjust headphones. Two weeks later, any change in

199
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 2: life is.

200
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: A little awkward at first, right, and you're reluctant to it.

201
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: You don't like it, but again, this is to make

202
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: things more exciting. Rich has got solar panels and he

203
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: hates the look of it.

204
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 2: I'm like, dude, in two weeks, forget all about it.

205
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, they look terrible. So it's an adjustment.

206
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: But Adam Silver was on the NBA Con stage and

207
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: he said that this is going forward the NBA Cup

208
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: in Season tournament. There's gonna be a Cup in Season tournament.

209
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 4: This year.

210
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: So your first reaction might be like NBA Cup in season,

211
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: but you know what, Baseball, what do we say pitch clock?

212
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: All that stinks Now It's like, wow, games are two hours?

213
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, sure to like it.

214
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: Football added that extra game and an extra wildcard, and

215
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, why are they changing things?

216
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: You end up liking it and the position.

217
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: This has been going on or talked about for a

218
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: long time now, and I remember hearing a lot about

219
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: it during the pandemic when they were trying to figure

220
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: out how are they gonna do everything in the ball

221
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: standing that by the way, I mean, if you're making

222
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: me feel weird of like, I don't know why.

223
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 2: I see the guy.

224
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 4: I see the guy every day.

225
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: He feels weird about it.

226
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 3: Feel like we're at a concert in a ballot performing.

227
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 2: Lectured by like a boss or something like yeah, sure,

228
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: I'm in the middle of my Ted talk.

229
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 4: I don't know you're doing.

230
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna be six five team groups and World Cup style.

231
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 2: That's the process or thought process behind this.

232
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means, but I watched Ted lasso.

233
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: That's the only sucker. So when you when you hear

234
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: this though, and I understand you're like, well, the NBA

235
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: is so great the way it is or is this better?

236
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: And that's where we talk to you, NBA con So, Spotty,

237
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: let's talk to some people see how they feel about

238
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: the changes, the big announcements in the NBA, because this

239
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: is official, this is going through I mean way.

240
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 3: First explain that there's going to be like two ways

241
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 3: to lift a title.

242
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you got to ask yourself, will winning the

243
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: NBA Cup mean as much as the NBA Championship will

244
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: eventually be like, well, there's two champions each year.

245
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 2: I don't think we know how it's going to be viewed.

246
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: Yet, but I will say this, well, remember it as

247
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: a younger generation that is going to put that sort

248
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: of clown on it that we might now keep in

249
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: mind if you're you know, twenty thirty, forty fifty years old,

250
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: in your lifetime, mixed martial arts went from nothing to

251
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: the powerhouse of a billion dollar UFC when we're kids

252
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: wrestling Hult Cogan made a small company become a billion

253
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: dollar thing.

254
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 2: Pickleball is becoming a thing.

255
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: So when you think about evolution of sports, it's always

256
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: ever changing, and I think the NBA is taking a

257
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: cool chance here, because think about this. We all watch

258
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: the NBA playoffs, right, we love the NBA playoffs. But

259
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: in November December, aren't we not really locked into the NBA.

260
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: You're watching football. You're like to give a little more

261
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: excitement in November December. I think it's not a bad

262
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: thing for it, and that's bastable to thinking behind it.

263
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: Switch things up, keep it exciting. You know, football starts

264
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: heating up around that time. Bring your attention back to

265
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: the NBA. Make it more exciting mid season for fans

266
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,479
Speaker 1: and younger fans, like we said.

267
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 2: But your thoughts on it again?

268
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: The NBA World Cup style in season tournament.

269
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 2: Let's talk to Rick. Rick came all the way just

270
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 2: to watch us do what we do.

271
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: Well.

272
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 2: It's up Covino and Rich.

273
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 4: How you guys doing doing good? Having fun?

274
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 5: Fantastic. I think three things. I think it'll grow the league.

275
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 5: It will bring exposure to Las Vegas. It'll help expansion

276
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 5: for NBA to Las Vegas.

277
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 2: That's see, that's another thing right there.

278
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: We did touch on that yesterday, like, look what's going

279
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: on here? You know you think hockey, you think baseball.

280
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: The Raiders are here.

281
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 3: You know some Raiders.

282
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,359
Speaker 1: This is a sports town. There's gotta be a basketball

283
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 1: team eventually. What are your thoughts, man, what my.

284
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 2: Name's mj J. What do you think about this?

285
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 6: I think it'll bring out the competitiveness and like some

286
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 6: of the younger players, so like how Keegan Murray was

287
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 6: struggling in the playoffs, your life were too big and.

288
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 2: You finally got it.

289
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 6: I think it'll be nice for like some of the

290
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 6: young guys like developed like get ready for playoffs.

291
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 2: I agree.

292
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: Listen, man, we all are locked into the NBA playoffs,

293
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: and I think we all realized with load management what

294
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: was the problem.

295
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 2: The problem was early in the.

296
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: Season with load management, like ah, my attention's not there.

297
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 2: Here's something to grab your attention.

298
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, so you were excited MJ when you heard

299

Speaker 2: This money incentives, so they're gonna want to play?

304
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 3: What do they get five that one hundred thousand dollars

305
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 3: to each player on the winning team, two hundred thousand

306
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 3: to each player on the losing team.

307
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: And for these young cats on the team too, without

308
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: the fat contract.

309
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,480

316
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: was playing? How does he feel about it? Will it

317
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: improve the league? Is it confusing the people?

318
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 2: You know that alone?

319
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: Danny GM that you brought it up to the fact

320
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: that these players are playing for five hundred thousand dollars

321
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: each extra if they win.

322
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 2: That's awesome.

323
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 4: Areous?

324
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: Let's Dominique makes to meet you, man, have a seat

325
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: the Human Highlight film on the Cavino and Rich Show.

326
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: Dominique Wilkins, NBA Hall of Famer two thousand and six,

327
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: nine time NBA All Star.

328
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 2: It's a pleasure. Thank you for being here, man.

329
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 4: You glad to be here. Everything's good.

330
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah. So how do you feel about

331
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 2: this new play in tournament?

332
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I think it's good.

333
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 7: I think it's good for basketball because, you know, you

334
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 7: give these teams who've struggled early in the season doing

335
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 7: maybe injuries and things of that nature, and now you

336
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 7: get a chance to have some chemistry and now things

337
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 7: start to click and you get a chance to get back.

338
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 4: Into the playoffs to try to move up.

339
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 7: You saw what Miami Heat did this year to you know,

340
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 7: to get as far as they did was pretty amazing.

341
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: And do you think that five hundred thousand dollars incentive

342
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: for all the players that win is something they're gonna

343
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: be playing hard for so we'll notice it, we'll see

344
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: that competitive nature.

345
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 4: Well, I think it definitely makes the difference. But the

346
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 4: money they make to that, I don't know if they

347
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 4: make that much of.

348
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 2: By their friend of the house. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you.

349
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 7: Know, some of the guys were maybe not making that

350
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 7: kind of money. With absolutely blessing.

351
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 4: I think it's a great thing that they put those

352
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 4: incentives in place.

353
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: When you see a young player like Victor winbin, Ya'm

354
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: gonna get this attention? Can you can you feel what

355
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: he's going through? Remembering back to when you were a

356
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: young player in the.

357
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 7: League, there's a lot of pressure for you, especially a

358
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 7: young kid coming to the United States, you know, with

359
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 7: so much hype and f fair, the expectations are high,

360
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 7: and so I know as a rookie, you know, I

361
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 7: came in the top three picks of Jane Worthy and

362
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 7: Terry Cummings, and that.

363
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 4: Was a lot of pressure.

364
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 7: There was some great small forward, so I knew I

365
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 7: had to make a statement. And but how you make

366
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 7: a statement on the floor, that's where you make your statement.

367
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 2: What do you think of the statement he made first game?

368
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: Obviously it doesn't really tell the story of where his

369
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: Christian to go.

370
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 4: Listen, it's only one games to some of league.

371
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 7: Now you're playing with all the guys that your peers

372
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 7: and that sort of thing, but it doesn't define who

373
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 7: you are to play.

374
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 4: He has a lot of room to go.

375
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 7: You gotta understand, a lot of these young kids are

376
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 7: still babies.

377
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: Right, you know, they really are.

378
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 7: You know you've been throwing into the fire at a

379
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 7: very early age. You know when we were coming in

380
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 7: to get him too. Yeah, I went three years of

381
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 7: college and so I was seasoned, should be ready to

382
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 7: play a lot of times to take some of these

383
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 7: kids two three years before they reached out.

384
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: Do you remember your first day at the office, your

385
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: first day and the nerves that you were going through.

386
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember.

387
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 7: I'm in my first game regular season game because Philly

388
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 7: and I'm playing against doctor j.

389
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 4: Start.

390
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the he can start right, and I go

391
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 7: up to him. I said, you know, I grew up

392
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 7: wanted to be like you, emmilate everything you do and

393
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 7: he said, hold up, hold up. He says, it's only

394
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 7: one doctor, Jade, there's only one Dominique works. But since

395
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 7: they calling you the next doctor, you might will start learning.

396
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 7: I think he has thirty something that night, and I

397
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 7: wasn't upset. I'm like, hey, that's the doctor.

398
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know.

399
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 7: But once you got over the excitement in the first year,

400
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 7: Jitters man, you let me know what. I know, you're

401
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 7: a god, but I'm trying to be a god to night,

402
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 7: you know. So that's how that was our mentality.

403
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 2: Now, Dominique.

404
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: One of the big differences between when you play it

405
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: and now social media.

406
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 4: Do you think you.

407
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 2: Would have liked that when you were playing? Did you

408
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 2: you like the connection?

409
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: Like some players that Burner accounts, they're jabbing back and

410
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: forth with fans. Victor Weinbamyama starts one of the biggest

411
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: stories is Britney Spears tapping on him and he has

412
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: to deal with that stuff.

413
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: Would you have wanted that? Elements?

414
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 4: We made a whole lot more money. We had social

415
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 4: media in that era.

416
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 7: I mean, listen, and these guys now are brands as

417
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 7: well as players.

418
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 4: You know, they become in corporations.

419
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 7: So I'm happy and delighted how the game has evolved.

420
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 7: So I'm loving what I'm seeing how these guys carry themselves.

421
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 7: But I think you, as young guys, you got to

422
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 7: continue to carry yourself in a positive way.

423
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 4: You don't want to.

424
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 7: Get yourself in situations where you know you can't come

425
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 7: back from.

426
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 4: We've seen that too often, So stay focused.

427
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: Are there guys you played with that you're like, thank

428
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: god there wasn't social media when he was around.

429
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 4: I have a lot of guys. Nah, I'm gonna keep

430
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 4: that a signal.

431
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: When you search Dominiquelkins and you google him, the first

432
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: thing that comes up is why is Dominique Wilkins so underrated?

433
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 4: Why do you think?

434
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 2: Do you think you're underrated?

435
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 4: I think you are.

436
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 7: I think because I never played with a superstar in

437
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 7: there prime, and we still won fifty plus games in

438
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 7: the Eastern Conference, which was insanely physical and talented. You know,

439
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,479
Speaker 7: it happens in every sport, in every era, where someone

440
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 7: gets overlooked and they forget about it. But you know what,

441
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 7: the most important thing to me, My peers know what

442
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 7: I did, and they know what I brought every single night.

443
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 7: I never took nights off. I never did low management,

444
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 7: never did none of that stuff. We played every game,

445
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 7: and so that's what I pride myself on.

446
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 4: And hey, I.

447
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 7: Went to toe to toe with the best, and they

448
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 7: would tell you that, hey, it wasn't gonna be no

449
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 7: easy night.

450
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 4: And so when they recognize that, that's all that matters

451
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 4: to me. And it's not even your peers too.

452
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people are searching that obviously,

453
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: so everyone must agree like he's a great, he's a

454
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: little underrated.

455
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 4: I wonder what you know. The funny thing is it's

456
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 4: kind of a compliment. So when you see highlights in me,

457
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 4: what do you see? You slam dunks all that.

458
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 7: It's very difficult to score over twenty six dolls porns

459
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 7: on dunks. I could score the ball inside outside three,

460
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 7: it didn't matter.

461
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 4: But when you're a great.

462
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 7: Athlete, that's what's magnified, is your athleticism.

463
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,479
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up two time win right

464
00:18:58,520 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: eighty five and nineties.

465
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 4: I am dunk contest.

466
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 2: Winner at fourth time.

467
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 4: I just got credit for two. Oh got.

468
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: Okay, what time? What's even cooler about that?

469
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: Nineteen eighty five and nineteen ninety so five years apart.

470
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: How do you feel when some of the bigger names

471
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: today don't want to be involved because.

472
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,239
Speaker 2: Seeing you was something so memorable, that's what made it

473
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 2: so great?

474
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 4: Well, I think it's a number of things.

475
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 7: They got so much going on on All Star Weekend,

476
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 7: for one, or they just don't want to know who

477
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 7: the best is.

478
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 2: He doesn't want to allow.

479
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, Jordan and I we wanted to know who the best.

480
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 7: I mean I did the slam Dunk contest five times.

481
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 7: But you know, it was so much fun going against

482
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 7: Mike and we going toll to told in that contest,

483
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 7: and it wasn't really about us, h it was about

484
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 7: the fans.

485
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 4: We gave the fans ex Yeah.

486
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 2: So you don't get on some of these younger guys

487
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:53,719
Speaker 2: to get out there and do it.

488
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 4: I'm too old.

489
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: They want, you know, yea, guys like guys like you

490
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: and Mike with the reason a lot of us but

491
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: adjustable rim so that we could dunk you guys. For

492
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: the reason for that is it odd to see the

493
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: game go from that to now every kid at the

494
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: playground's heaving up three pointers thinking there's Steph Curry.

495
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 2: The game has changed as far as what kids are emulating.

496
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 4: Right with Steph ruined, these kids changed it.

497
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 7: You gotta understand everybody can't shoot it like Steph, you know,

498
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 7: and you guys got You have guys shooting threes that

499
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 7: maybe shouldn't be taking threes.

500
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 4: But that's the game now.

501
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 7: And you know the thing that you know, people asked

502
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 7: me all they said, you know, I know you scored

503
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 7: a lot of points, you didn't take a lot of threes.

504
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 7: I said, My threes came from into paint and one

505
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 7: and one and one one, and so it was it's

506
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 7: still gonna be the same thing. You're still gonna get three,

507
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 7: and more importantly, you're putting the defense at bay and

508
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 7: you're getting them in foul trouble.

509
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 4: So the thing is that we always pride ourselves on.

510
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 4: If I can't get a file.

511
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 7: Or two on another great player early in the game,

512
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 7: now I create an advantage for myself.

513
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 4: Now he don't play.

514
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 7: Me as hard, right, So it was always a thinking

515
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 7: man's game back then.

516
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: Dominice Wilkins let's make some nice guys, because human Highlight reel,

517
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: it's a pleasure to have you here. NBA con now

518
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: again the human highlight reel. It's kind of hard when

519
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: you got so many.

520
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 2: But is there one highlight that stands out to you?

521
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 4: And I have a follow up to it, just kind

522
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 4: of a weird question.

523
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 2: Is there one that stands out?

524
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 7: It's a couple, but it's one in particular against Milwaukee,

525
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 7: against the late great Bob Lanaire at the end of

526
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 7: a game, I was on the baseline posting up and

527
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 7: I went to the middle of the whole defense shifted

528
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 7: towards me to cut me off, and I remember coming

529
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 7: back baseline, I jumped and Bob Lanier went up and

530
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 7: covered the rim like this, and I turned my back

531
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 7: in the air. I think I closed my eyes because

532
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 7: I was a little nervous he was gonna hit me,

533
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 7: so as he was coming down, I was still going

534
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 7: up and I came back around dunked on on the

535
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 7: buzzer and that was one of the most rememberable.

536
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 2: Wow, here's the weird follow up.

537
00:21:58,359 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 4: Though.

538
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: When you visualized that highlight, do you visualize going up

539
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: in the air slamming it, or do you see it

540
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: the way we saw it on TV.

541
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,719
Speaker 4: No, it was just spontaneous. I didn't really know what

542
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 4: I was going to do once I came back.

543
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 7: Baseline Michael was to get to the basket as quick

544
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 7: as I could before he got there. But he got

545
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 7: there a little early. But I was still going up.

546
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 7: And when I came back around with going down said,

547
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 7: I got you a big fella.

548
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: When you think back, what Domino is getting at is

549
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: do you remember it first person or do you remember

550
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: the highlight that we've all seen.

551
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 7: None of the stuff I did, the stuff I worked

552
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 7: on or playing, it was all spontaneous. So I thought

553
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 7: the game as I was playing. So you were a

554
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 7: freestyle Yeah, you know the dunk contest. I never worked

555
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 7: on that stuff. That's just what I never went for gym.

556
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 7: It was stuff that we were doing in games. Wow,

557
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,479
Speaker 7: So we didn't have to go and practice that stuff.

558
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: Hey, Dominique, you played obviously we all think of you

559
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 1: as an Atlanta Hawk.

560
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 2: You played for four other teams.

561
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: Do you have any emotional connection to those cities or teams? Like,

562
00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: do you picture yourself in any of those uniforms?

563
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 7: I think the team that I'm connected to the most

564
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 7: outside of the Atlanta Hawks, of course, that's you know,

565
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 7: I live and breathed Atlanta Hawks.

566
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 4: It was the Boston Celtics. So one year I was there,

567
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 4: the most knowledgeable fans.

568
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 7: That you're ever going to see was in Boston, and

569
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 7: they really showed me a lot of love and respect.

570
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 7: And so I have a connection with that because you

571
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 7: know the Hawks Boston Celtics rivalry that we had, so

572
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 7: it made it a special kind of interaction when I

573
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 7: went there.

574
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Celtics, Dennis robin made some comments about

575
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: Larry Bird recently, how he wouldn't make it in today's NBA,

576
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: probably be playing in Europe.

577
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 4: I just wanted to know your thoughts because you've played

578
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 4: with all these and.

579
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 2: Larry is a big fan of you.

580
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, he said what he said.

581
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: He wouldn't make it in today's NBA, he'd be playing

582
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: in Europe.

583
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 2: That's what Dennis Robbins said.

584
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 4: He mustn't.

585
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 2: I think your reaction says it all.

586
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, he must wasn't feeling good that day. Let me

587
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 7: tell you something. Me, let me tell you something aout

588
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 7: Larry Bird.

589
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something.

590
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 4: He's the most competitive person.

591
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 7: That I've ever met, and he had a heart of

592
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 7: a lion of basketball IQ off the charts and can

593
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 7: make shots anywhere.

594
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 4: On the floor. He won. I'm gonna give you a

595
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 4: prime example.

596
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, I had fifty seven at home against Chicago in

597
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 7: three quarters.

598
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 4: I mean I had one of those knights.

599
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 7: So we go to New Orleans and we're playing the Celtics,

600
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 7: went our home against New Orleans and Larry Bird said,

601
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 7: Kevin McKay, I'm gonna break your record against Atlanta. I'll

602
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 7: say he ain't gonna break a record against us, not

603
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 7: against us. Well, he had sixty that night, and he

604
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 7: was shooting threes.

605
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 4: With his left hand and a little and so that

606
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 4: he's about six ten, two forty five. He was a

607
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 4: big guy, you know.

608
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 7: So anybody who would say something as idiotic as that

609
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 7: is and here's six.

610
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: Eight right, six nine, six nine Larry Bird nasty man.

611
00:24:59,400 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.

612
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 7: I don't know why people do that. I mean, give it,

613
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 7: give give him his greatness.

614
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's who he is. I mean, he

615
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 4: could play in any error and dominate. I don't care

616
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 4: whatever it is.

617
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 2: Have you had interactions with Dennis Rodman much.

618
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 7: I mean I know Dennis very well.

619
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 2: What do you think of his new face tattoo? He

620
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 2: got his girlfriend tattooed on his face.

621
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 4: Well, it's Dennis.

622
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 2: I mean, he has to get the word wedding dress

623
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 2: to marry himself.

624
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: Do you remember the story that he said a woman

625
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: fell out of the ceiling and that's why he cheated

626
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: on carbon electro.

627
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 7: Well, you know he was very animated, and you know

628
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 7: he lived in this fantasy a lot of times. But

629
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,959
Speaker 7: you know you got to expect that out out of Dennis.

630
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 7: Dennis does that, not because it's true or not. It

631
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 7: creates conversations. He's just the guy, you know. And so

632
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 7: I know, I hate when people start to compare errors.

633
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 7: Who's the goat, who's not the goat? It doesn't matter,

634
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 7: there's different errors. We can't say that we are better

635
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 7: than Chamberlain or Russell. We never had a chance to

636
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 7: play with this and so God as matter of fact,

637
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 7: and I don't think people realize Russell was the greatest

638
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 7: athlete they ever lived. I don't care what sport the

639
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 7: guys mentioned. Six hundred and fifty pounds before games. Okay,

640
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 7: still own sixty some NBA records.

641
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, everybody knows your basketball highlights your

642
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame career, but not everybody knows your passion

643
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: for wine. You own a private label wine company, right,

644
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: and cigars. You're big into that. If you didn't play basketball,

645
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: is that you'd have done with your whole life to.

646
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 4: That one hundred million? Some kind of way?

647
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 2: Is that? Tell us about it?

648
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 4: Tell us about it?

649
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 7: No, obviously, No, you know, I've been into when I

650
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 7: played in Italy at the end of my career, I

651
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 7: got involved in. I lived on a vineyard and so

652
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 7: all the neighbors used to bring me wine. It's frank

653
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 7: Alina wine or its Italian wine. And I got really

654
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 7: interested in to develop my own wine. So it was

655
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 7: myself way Boggs and Gail Sayers had our own wine

656
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 7: and now I currently have, which is the Cigar convention

657
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 7: here this weekend, and.

658
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 4: So you know. But you know, my biggest passion, to.

659
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 7: Believe it or not, is healthcare, dealing with you know,

660
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 7: kids with special needs and PTSD, so trying to make

661
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 7: the world more central, sensory inclusive.

662
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 4: So that's my past game.

663
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 2: Nice you mentioned wade bugs.

664
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: What other athletes and other sports do you have a

665
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: friendship with that you admire a lot?

666
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 7: Of guys, A lot of guys, I mean every sport.

667
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 7: I mean even soccer. Now I know quite a few

668
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 7: guys that who's been on that world stage for a

669
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 7: very long time, you know, baseball, basketball. So you know,

670
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 7: back when we were playing, all of us was like

671
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 7: a family. It didn't matter with sports you played. All

672
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 7: of us knew each other.

673
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, there's there's been some studies recently

674
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: that there's been a push to keep kids on one

675
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: sport and one sport only.

676
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 4: And when we grew up.

677
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 1: We sort of dabbled into all different sports and we

678
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: became well rounded at different sports. And you see a

679
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: lot of basketball players, a lot different athletes. When they

680
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: threw out the.

681
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 2: First pitch, sometimes it's like they can't even throw.

682
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 4: So how do you feel about it?

683
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 2: Should kids play different sports or focus.

684
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 7: On I think they should play different sports. We don't

685
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 7: believe it or not. I started out in track and field.

686
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 7: I still hold my high school record in the quarter

687
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 7: of my mount really yeah, and.

688
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,719
Speaker 2: So surprise, no kids beating your records.

689
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 7: But I didn't play organized basketball to tenth grade. I

690
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 7: didn't play a none of that stuff.

691
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 4: You can throw baseball pretty well.

692
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, I played baseball with the first sport I played

693
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 7: it was tracking. It was baseball, track and field, then basketball.

694
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: Was that your first indicator that you were next level athletic?

695
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 2: Your speed?

696
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 4: Was it the speed? Yeah?

697
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 7: But I think it was a confidence that a playground

698
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 7: legend in my neighborhood in Baltimore gave me. He said,

699
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 7: I want you to come to boys club every day,

700
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 7: and I'm a teacher how to play this game. You're

701
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 7: gonna be the first one to get out of this neighborhood,

702
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 7: and you're gonna owe me in. At twelve, I didn't

703
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 7: know what that meant. He's the only thing I want

704
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 7: for you to give to someone else when I'm about

705
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 7: to give to you. So he gave me the courage

706
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 7: to leave home when I was sixteen, and I got

707
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 7: discovered on the playground the next day in another state,

708
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 7: and that's how it all start.

709
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 4: Damn.

710
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know I got to ask you, Dominique Wilkins

711
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,680

00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: dudes really love it, Trey Young, did he at any

714
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: point come to you to ask for advice on how

715
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: to handle the you know, how to handle the city

716
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: in Yo, Domitique, what could I do?

717
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, yeah, and very close to Trey Young and

718
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 7: the thing that I try to do when he first

719
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 7: came in, to give him kind of the lay of

720
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 7: the land and who to talk to, the people, who

721
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 7: to be connected to. And I say, if you can

722
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 7: embrace the city and the city will embrace you, you

723
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 7: write your own ticket here. And I said, you're the

724
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,320

Speaker 1: This guy, I mean, electric player, and you see these

792
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: highlights over the weekend.

793
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 2: You're seeing what he's doing, and then you.

794
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: Realize he's not at the All Star Game. It's like, man,

795
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: is the MLB dropping the ball on that? Let me

796
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: give you some stats, real quick. Twenty nine games and

797
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: that's probably why that's why he's not any He just

798
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: came up twenty.

799
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 2: Nine games, forty hits, four home runs.

800
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: The dude's bett in three twenty eight, sixteen RBI, sixteen

801
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: stolen bases.

802
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 2: So, I mean, the dude is you see the infield

803
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 2: hits he's.

804
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: Getting, He's hitting like a weak red ball to short

805
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: look and beating it out. If anything, because there's a

806
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: lot of NBA fans here, this guy might be the

807
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: most exciting player baseball has seen in years.

808
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 2: And again it's still early. But should he have been

809
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 2: in the.

810
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: All Star Game? You know, that's really the question. And

811
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: should MLB say, you know what, we're making an exception.

812
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: I believe there's like.

813
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 2: One Cincinnati reliever that made the All Stars. Yeah, they

814
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 2: got they got to switch. Do they have to Alex

815
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 2: dz So, do they have.

816
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: To switch it up and say, you know what, because

817
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: this guy's lightening it up so much and he's so

818
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: good for baseball, let's just let's just.

819
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 2: Make it happy. Diaz is good though.

820
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: No, no, brother, I'm saying he's only read that that's

821
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: on the on the team.

822
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 2: So I think they need to make room for a

823
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 2: superstar like this.

824
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: They got to really market their superstars because the fans

825
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: want to see it. Yeah, no doubt. Well we are

826
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: here at NBA. Come and you know, we got a

827
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: long lot of people that are waiting to get a

828
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,800

829
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,120

830
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 2: there's nothing little about it.

831
00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: You have to go definitely vertical on the picture with them.

832
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: Based on the Dennis Rodman story, not the one where

833
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: he was an assid and said that Larry Bird wasn't good,

834
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: the one where he got the face tattoo of his girlfriend.

835
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: Is it always a fail to get a tattoo of

836
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: someone else's name or picture on you? Like?

837

00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: get a girl or guy's name tattooed on you and

840

Speaker 4: But you know what, that's what's interesting about it.

848
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: It's like you don't need to because he's got a

849

00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got Rick hanging out with us.

871
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 5: But well, there are certain people that are a little

872
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 5: bit above the cut and I've got one right here.

873
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 2: What do you got there?

874
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 4: I can't even see that is? Who is it?

875
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 2: I mean, you got a bunch of them going on.

876
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 2: It's why is that Elvis?

877
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: Elvis got Spotty Spotty one of its Spotty's favorites? Hey, Rick,

878
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: I was married by It was here in Vegas and

879
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: it didn't work out, surprising luckily.

880
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.

881
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: But you know what, we're not being too hard on

882
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: it because our producer here, Danny g he's got Laker tattoos,

883
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: He's got Koki tattoos. Yeah, and you know what, he

884
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: pulls it off too. I mean, you gotta own it,

885
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: and he owns it. But it's a risky move to make.

886
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: And again, it's generational. These younger dudes will got anything

887
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: tattooed on him.

888
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 2: It seems like they don't even care that much.

889
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: I do think that if you have a ton of tattoos.

890
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: Sneaking in the sports one isn't a big deal. But

891
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 1: I think if your only tattoo is like I've got

892
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,919
Speaker 1: the Cowboys star in my chest, it's a bit much,

893
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: A bit much, A bit much is your girlfriend's face?

894
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: And by the way, girlfriend, that's that's the other thing.

895
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: It's his girlfriend, it's not his wife. Got his girlfriend's

896
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: face tattooed on his face? Isn't that a beevis and

897
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: butt ed thing? I got a tattoo of a butt

00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 1: got a face tattoo of her face on his face?

900
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 3: Face?

901
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 4: So stupid, so dumb.

902
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 2: Any other sports tattoos here in the building.

903
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 1: No, we should ask a few more spy, like if

904
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: we can guarantee a championship for the team where they

905
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: do it? Like Dodgers fan right there, like he's like

Speaker 2: Would you get one if it guaranteed a championship?

913
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 4: I don't care because I'm not a Dodger pan.

914
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 2: Oh you were wearing Dodgers Geared Toby.

915
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 3: Oh, it's the hybrid because it's the Dodger purple and gold.

922

Speaker 2: That's true, okay, because tattoos.

923
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,440

924
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,840

954
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 2: You know what I forgot the s Dominique Wilkins.

955
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: I was thinking about him gambling here in Vegas, hanging

956
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 1: out living. You know, when you're in Vegas, you have

957
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: nice dinners and you're out and about. When people recognize

958
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: someone of that caliber, do they expect a bigger tip?

959
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 4: Do they expect it all the time.

960
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: I even had that written down, like, yes, feel the

961
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 1: pressure to overspend and tip everybody because people recognize who

962
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: he is all.

963
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 2: Right, Well, we're gonna get out of here in a

964
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 2: little bit. But I have a couple more.

965
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: Thoughts about the Spurs, Popovich the new contract. Do we

966
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: all agree that the Popovich contract has everything to do

967
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: with when Ben Yama and like you know, it gives.

968
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 2: Pop a little life again.

969
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: Plus what a great coach to sort of usher this

970
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: guy into the NBA.

971
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 2: That's the whole behind I'm your deal.

972
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: That ends when coach Popovich is eighty three, five.

973
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 2: Year, eighty million dollar deal.

974
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 1: So that's a pretty sweet deal for a seventy eight

975
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: year old guy. And I think it has everything to

976
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: do And by the way, from nineteen ninety four till present, like.

977
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:05,280
Speaker 4: What a run.

978
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been pretty good. What do you think about

979
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 2: the coach pop deal?

980
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 8: And I mean he got great assistance to help him

981
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 8: out with he got Tim Duncan, Like you don't have

982
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 8: to do a lot of the work. You can have

983
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 8: his look at what she did with the Aces.

984
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's true because they want more championship.

985
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 8: He's gonna go back to the NBA and be a coach.

986
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 8: I think that's what he told her. All win some

987
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 8: championships in the WNBA. He gonna get a poking job

988
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:31,959
Speaker 8: in the NBA.

989
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 2: What's your name? Manque and rie k, thank you for

990
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 2: hanging out.

991
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 8: I think he's thinking long run. He's helping out all

992
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 8: these other guys behind him, get ready, and.

993
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 1: That's how you leave your legacy, right, So one more

994
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: guy to carry the legacy, one more guy to pass

995
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: it on. But you have to keep mind too. Over breakfast,

996
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: we were talking about this and we were saying, he's

997
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 1: seventy eight, but he's a pretty sharp seventy eight. You know,

998
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 1: some people at seventy eight are not as as with

999
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 1: it as he is.

1000
00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 2: He seems to be a younger seventy eight.

1001
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's like an old guy licking an ice

1002
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: cream right in the park and.

1003
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,399
Speaker 2: Still probably keeps him young.

1004
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,839
Speaker 1: One last thought when Ben Yama tonight, do we think

1005
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 1: it's like a bounce back like he dominates or.

1006
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 2: He think it's a work in progress?

1007
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: And hey, if he scores eleven with some turnovers and

1008
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: you know he's a little a little sloppy little are

1009
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: we gonna judge him?

1010
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 3: Is?

1011
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 2: Orre you gonna say, hey, it's summer league. You know,

1012
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 2: Dominique Gookin has actually made a great point. You get

1013
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 2: in your groove.

1014
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: So once he gets that jittery feeling out and it

1015
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,280
Speaker 1: becomes just another day for him, that's we're gonna see

1016
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 1: him starting to groove and get into the flow. I'm

1017
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: not even expecting anything today. Uh, but eventually you'll see

1018
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: him getting more comfortable day by day, and it's gonna

1019
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: be fun to watch, you know what it is. I

1020
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 1: know that all sports are different, but you see it

1021
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 1: in every sport, right A pitcher in baseball, or some

1022
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: guy like WoT Be on the Yankees, he went yard today,

1023
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: comes up. He's lost, dude, Yeah, he's lost. Finds his

1024
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: way in you see the eighty young quarterbacks. It takes

1025
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 1: a minute to find your way. So we can't expect

1026
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: a nineteen year old kid from overseas to come here

1027
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: just because he's a number one pick and he's seven

1028
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: to five.

1029
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,240
Speaker 3: He's not gonna oh he's seven seven in shoes.

1030
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 2: He's not gonna dominate.

1031
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 4: Yo.

1032
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 1: When when you showed me that video yesterday, it honestly

1033
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,800
Speaker 1: looked like a draft walking like yeah.

1034
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 3: Holding their cell phone videos, uh, their cameras up on

1035
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 3: their tippy toes and still couldn't get the top of his.

1036
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 4: Head that's unbelievable.

1037
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, everything stopped for him, and that

1038
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: was really cool to see. It goes to show you

1039
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 1: again what a big star he is this week and

1040
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: what he's gonna be And the only time I've ever

1041
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,760
Speaker 1: seen anything like that, Rich, I told you a story before.

1042
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: I was on West fifty sixth Street in Manhattan and

1043
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 1: it looked like something was going on because the whole

1044
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: street stopped. Yeah, and it was really eerie because I'm like,
