00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: six time NBA All Star, joining us on behalf of

00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: Mobile one and their Sweet Stakes, which we'll talk about

34
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: in a moment. Good morning, Anthony, what was your second

35
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: best sport in high school? Good morning. I didn't have

36
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: a second best sport. I only played basketball. But as

37
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: a little kid, did you play baseball? Football? I didn't.

38
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to play baseball to my dad played baseball.

39
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: But I remember we were playing cash one day and

40
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: he threw the ball. He totally put the gloves like

41
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: right in front of my face. He threw the ball

42
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: like Mitt muggleover hit me in the mouth. And I've

43
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: also wondered that. I think you were six two six

44
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: one as a sophomore and then you grew to six

45
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: ten as a senior. But because you had that time

46
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: period where you had to learn how to dribble the

47
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: ball if you're that small, that short as a guard,

48
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: how much like do you look back on that? How

49
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: important was that that you did have that time where

50
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: you had to learn how to dribble ball like a

51
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: point guard? That was very important because, Um, I wouldn't

52
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: be to play I am today, So um having that

53
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: skill set, UM when I was in high school, you know,

54
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: freshman sophomore year, UM kind of carried over until UM

55
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: my game you know kind of in college and especially

56
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: in the NBA. So I think it was it was

57
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: It was very important you know throughout my throughout my career.

58
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: Who was the best player you played against in high school? Uh?

59
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: Best player and probably at that time and I didn't

60
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: go to a big high school. Uh, and we didn't

61
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: play any like top teams, so um and in season

62
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: outside the AUTH circuit, I played against everybody. You know,

63
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: Michael get killed, Crest and Bradley did all those guys. Um,

64
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: and in season it was probably Julie over for to

65
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: be honest, Okay, when did you know you could play? Like?

66
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: When did you know you could be great? I think

67
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: my senior year, honestly, Um, Obviously I always had the

68
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: mindset like all, I want to go to the NBA.

69
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: I want to go to the NBA. But I never knew,

70
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: um that I can be like really good. Um until

71
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: my senior year when I had a ghospert um and

72
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: then you know, everyone started talking about me. And didn't

73
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: I end up becoming you know, number one play in

74
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: the country. And that's when I knew, Um, I can

75
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: be I can do something special. I know you went

76
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: to Michael Jordan's basketball camp. Uh. Have you had a

77
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: conversation with Michael? Being a Bulls fan growing up, I didn't.

78
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: I think the only time I talked to Michael was

79
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: at his at his camp. I think that was it, um,

80
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: and he came and spoke to the group, and then, uh,

81
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: you know, had a couple of conversations here and there

82
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: with some of the players, but that was the only

83
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: time I had like a real you know, conversation with him. Wait,

84
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: but but you didn't get can't ask him a question?

85
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: Did he just say anybody got questions? Did you raise

86
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 1: your hands? I didn't raise my hand. You know you

87
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: don't want to be the first guy. I wait, an Anthony,

88
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: what would you have asked Michael Jordan? Honestly, I have

89
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: no idea idea what I would have asked them. Um,

90
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: but I regret. I knew I should have asked the question.

91
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: But you know, you didn't want to be that first guy. Uh.

92
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: And then it was late when the when the camp

93
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: was over, so you know God really wanted to and

94
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: then go back to the rooms and go to sleep

95
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: and eat. So yeah, you asked a question to guys

96
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: looking at you, like, what do you ask? The questions

97
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: were ready to go, like, so I was kind of nervous. Uh.

98
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: What's the last time you swapped jerseys with somebody? I

99
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: just swapped jerseys with uh Drew Oliday in New Orleans.

105
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,200

Speaker 1: to I don't want to count anyone. Yeah, just because

156
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: it's fight. It's early, you know, God start to find

157
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: a rhythm now, you know. Start guys definitely started getting

158
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: the group. And we haven't played everyone yet. So we

159
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: haven't played you know, the Rockets. Who you know James

160
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: Avergon one hundred points a game. Um, so we haven't

161
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: played everyone yet. Um for a foreign answer, do you

162
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: think James Carden is gonna score seven to or eighty

163
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: in a game? For sure? Really? For sure? I mean

164
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: the things he ever doing the basketball floor? Um, it's

165
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: it's it's unreal. Um. We haven't seen anyone um like it.

166
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 1: You know, get to the freedom line at ease his

167
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: step back. Um, he's able to pass. So I think

168
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: I think it's definitely coming. Would you love to do

169
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: that where you just know that that Lebron is going

170
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: to say to you, Hey, I want you to go

171
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: out and I want you to take forty five shots

172
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: like just a fun game. How do you think you

173
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: could do? Uh, forty five shots? I think I can

174
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: probably get you, you know, eight eighty. Yeah, what's the

175
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: most you ever scoring the game? The most? Our score

176
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: fifty nine? Oh and you could get you can get mobile.

177
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: Wanna love that? No, No, that you don't getting just scoring?

178
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 1: You know you got to get everything else there. Yeah,

179
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: I have to get everything else. Yeah, but wouldn't you

180
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: rather have a great block than a great dunk? Um?

181
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: I think it depends on like this late game, you

182
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: know we need to stop then you know I'm taking

183
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: up I'm taking the block. But it was early in

184
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 1: the game. We're trying to get the crowd into it.

185
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: You know, I think I think there's dunc there's dunk

186
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: a through it. But um me personally just been you know,

187
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: the type of player our ample was defensive minded. Um,

188
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: I think that block, um, it is better than that dunk.

189
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: Now you're dunking on someone, then I'll take that over

190
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: the block. But just a regular dunk over a block.

191
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 1: I have to take the block. Who have you posterized

192
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: like your favorite one for everyone? I think I was

193
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: my second year in the league. I think it was

194
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: Glenn Davis that was like my first poster ever. And

195
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: it's like so I and I watched. I was so young,

196
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: I had no facial hair. I had. My hair was

197
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: real low. Any Um, it was I barely got off

198
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: the ground. What you know, Glen Davis couldn't get off

199
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: the ground either. I was gonna say, Anthony, he can't jump.

200
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: He jumps like I do. That doesn't really count as

201
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: a poster. Yeah, did you want to go? You didn't

202
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: get Leron, did you? Um? No, I never got Lebron.

203
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: Lebron never got me another doe I had was against

204
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: the Knicks a couple of years ago with uh Ron Baker,

205
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: But that doesn't count either. Ron Baker jumped. He plays

206
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: like I do. Come on, I'm talking about dunking on

207
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: you know, like Dwight Howard or somebody like that. Never

208
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: never got Dwight. Um, I'll tell you that I'll get

209
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: one for you this year. How about are you playing

00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, Clippers special consultant, former Warriors executive and

250
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: former Clippers GM, former Laker GM. Hi, Jerry, how are you?

251
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm fine? Thank you? How are you? I'm doing okay?

252
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: How excited are you? Well? It was a pretty good

253
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: Friday night, I guess a couple of days ago, if

254
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: you get a few days ago for the for the Clippers,

255
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: and you know, obviously it bought a lot of excitement,

256
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: I think to everyone involved in acquiring the two players

257
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: that we acquired. So pretty special day for Southern California basketball,

258
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: particularly with the two guys that the Lakers have, Lebron

259
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: and Anthony. So been a pretty cool time from basketball

260
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: in Southern California. What role did you play in bringing

261
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard to town? Very small, Okay, I just had

262
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: a voice. Our front office is really terrific, okay. And

263
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: they all behind us scene things, Lawrence Franks, Michael Winger,

264
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: and Trent Reddon. They were really on top of this

265
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: thing the whole way. And you know, when you in

266
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: this league today, it's just so different than the players

267
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: are free to move around agents obviously, in players contribute

268
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: where they go and I've never seen anything like it

269
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: where players can recruit other players, But I guess it's

270
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: a modern day NBA, and I think that's it's an

271
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: awkward situation when when you're in these positions to have

272
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: an opportunity to maybe acquire a player like like the

273
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: ones we've talked about, and more importantly for the team

274
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: that gets them, it really does wonders for a franchise.

275
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: It's just hard to describe the excitement within the Clipper organization.

276
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure the Lake organization. Also when you get Kawai,

277
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: then how long after do you realize or is getting

278
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: Kauai you know, hinging on getting Paul George as well?

279
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: Like how did those two how how did they connect? Well?

280
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: Obviously I think they have great admiration for each other's game,

281
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm I try to be completely fair

282
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: and honest all the players in the league, but I

283
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: honestly think they're two best way players in basketball and

284
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: to get them on one night, as I say, is

285
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: pretty remarkable. In our front office, Lawrence Michael and Trent Reddon,

286
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: they all contributed greatly to it. But those players talked

287
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure sure that maybe if Kawai had

288
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: had some influence on Paul that we would have been

289
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: able to make a deal with Oklahoma City, and obviously

290
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: we paid a big price, and Oklahoma City should be,

291
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: I guess exciting about their future now. But it was

292
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: remarkable night. And to say it, you know, not again

293
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: not to try to defer anything to the other teams involved,

294
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: but certainly the players help today. You don't want any

295
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: credit for this to you, Oh no, not at all,

296
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: And I should not get very little at all. I've

297
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: gotten far too much better in my life, and I

298
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: really have. And I think one of the things I

299
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: enjoy about being here, and obviously this is going to

300
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: be my final stop in my basketball life, is Steve

301
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: Baumber has really put together an unbelievably terrific organization. He

302
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: spared no expense. It's a really fun place to be

303
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: and there's not ego driven at all, and it's just

304
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: a fun place to be and he's got an awful

305
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: lot of basketball people over there, and again, I'm just

306
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: part happy to be such a small part of it.

307
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, are you prouder of your

308
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: basketball playing career or what you did in the front office? Yeah,

309
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 1: I really never looked at my life like that at all.

310
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: I just something I've seemed to have a love for

311
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: and been able to do it for a long time,

312
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: have a life in basketball, and most people are not

313
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: that fortunate, and particularly some of the older players who

314
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: didn't give a chance. And it started with Jerry Buss,

315
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: who gave me an opportunity here in Los Angeles to

316
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: work in the front office and things went well during

317
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: that time. And then late Mike Histly and also late

318
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: Jerry Buss, Lake, Mike Heisle and Memphis gave me an

319
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 1: opportunity to do something. It was probably the most fun

320
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: time in my life because they hadn't had much success.

321
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: And more importantly, I think the opportunity to work with

322
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: someone like Mike Heisi and then being a consultant with

323
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: the Warriors and the success they had up here up there,

324
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: and watch how that organization is going now. And then

325
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: also with Steve here in Los Angeles. He just a

326
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,959
Speaker 1: great owner and one of the nicest men I've ever

327
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: been around in my life. I've never seen a person

328
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: like this with the success that It's just remarkable how

329
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: even killed he is. If people knew how philanthropic he was,

330
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: he keeps all that stuff quiet. I guess he will

331
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: get mad at me for mentioning, but he's just a

332
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: remarkable man himself. When you go to dinner, do you

333
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: ever pick up the check with Steve Bomber? I would

334
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: pick up the check with anyone, Dan, and I know

335
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: you're a very rich guy, so I would be happy

336
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: to pick your check. I like that. I like that.

337
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: But Steve Bomber's crazy rich though. Jerry, well, he's again,

338
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: you'd never know it. I think that's one of the

339
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: charming thinks about him. And you know, I think people

340
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: always are. They always ask me what he's like, and

341
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: I said, he's just like you and I are normal.

342
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: I've never seen he's willing to spend on players. He's

343
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: willing just been on personnel within the front office. And

344
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: as I mentioned before, I've never been around any organization

345
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: that is better than this one. That's for sure. He's

346
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 1: were I'm very similar to Steve Baumber, except for he

347
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: has one more team than I do, in a two

348
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: more jobs than I do. Jerry, so we're really, really really,

349
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: but I have my hair. Well, you know, when you're

350
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: around him, I think, you know, you don't really realize

351
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: the totality of what he has because there's nothing ostentatious

352
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: about him at all then, and I think that's what

353
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: makes us so much fun to be around him. But

354
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: as I say, he and his wife are two remarkable people,

355
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: and to be involved with him, he's very straightforward to

356
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: he's no, there's no, no, nothing as phony about him

357
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: at all. And he's a busy man. He you know,

358
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: he'll fly down to a game, he'll fly home the

359
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: next day or that night. He flew to Las Vegas

360
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: for I think the owner's meeting and then back home

361
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 1: and then back to the summer big games. So he's

362
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: very passionate about what he does. Also, he's Jerry West

363
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: joining us Dan Patrick show are duo is good for

364
00:20:54,840 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: the NBA if they're great ones, absolutely, if they're bad

365
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: one and uh, you know when you're talking about you

366
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: know here in Los Angeles, you know, people always put

367
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: players in their place in the league. H there's arguly

368
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: four of the best top seven players in basketball and

369
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: one and on respective teams. So I think the games

370
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: here in Los Angeles now are going to be fun,

371
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: anxious to watch them get after each other, and it

372
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: will be more like the playoffs every game we played them.

373
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,719
Speaker 1: I'm sure who would you like to have teamed up

374
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: with in your career if you had that offered at well,

375
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: I had a chance to team up with one incredible

376
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: player when when we were younger, Elgin Baylor had a

377
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: chance to team up with another one, and Will Chamberlain,

378
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: and probably the one that I had incredible passion for

379
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: as not only as a person but as a player,

380
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: as Bill Russell. I think he would have been fun

381
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: to play for it because he bought an element of

382
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: the game that was about winning. The greatest winner we've

383
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: ever seen in our league. And he was just a

384
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: guy who kind of flew under the radar, but he

385
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: had like a regal like effect on the game. He

386
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: was just incredible, and more importantly a friend than someone

387
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: who I've greatly admired for all these years. Did you

388
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: ever hang out with Wild Chamberlin socially? Not socially, but

389
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: on the road. We were together a lot after James

390
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. I remember one time he took

391
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: me the smallest paradise and in Harlem was an unbelievable experience,

392
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: to be honest with you. But most of the time

393
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: we had dinner together a lot in our rooms, didn't

394
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: go out very much when we were playing, and he

395
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,479
Speaker 1: was a uniquely different person. And let's say I had

396
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,959
Speaker 1: a chance to play with a lot of great players.

397
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 1: But I think the thing that many times in your

398
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: life that it will be like indelible memories that you have,

399
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: are the times you spent with him away from the court.

400
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 1: That to me really defines who people really are. And

401
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of times people look at players

402
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: and they just see what they accomplished on the court,

403
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: but the most important thing is what they've accomplished away

404
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: from the court. And he was just a good guy

405
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: and different, but a good and of course Elgin was

406
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: the best of the best. I think there was a

407
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: season when you average thirty one, will to average twenty

408
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: seven and Elgin average twenty four, twenty five. That sounds

409
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: real right, Well, you know, as I say, I never forget.

410
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: There was a cover on Sports, a sports magazine at

411
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: that point in time, and they were talking about this

412
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: trio of all stars and you know, will it'll be

413
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: a super team. It wasn't a super team. It was

414
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: a team that was really good, but for some reason,

415
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: we were never able to accomplish what everyone wants to

416
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: accomplish as a player, and that's to win a championship,

417
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: and we weren't able to do that together. Elton retired

418
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: when when in nineteen seventy one seventy two season and

419
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: we went on to win a championship like that year

420
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: and without him as frankly, is one of the saddest

421
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: things I've ever had to do to watch somebody that

422
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: not only I loved as a person, but he was

423
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: one of the great people that you ever want to

424
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,959
Speaker 1: be around. Just a wonderful person, no pretense to him,

425
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: he was who he was, just a great player. And

426
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: say I mentioned a wonderful friend. Do you think you

427
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: appreciated the winning as much as you hated the losing?

428
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: Like when you win a championship, you kind of expect that,

429
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: but it's the losing that you don't expect. Well, you know,

430
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: to say, Dan, I's been involved in twenty one NBA finals. Okay,

431
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: both of the player and as exactive and that's a lot.

432
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: And you just you get to the point sometimes when

433
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: you want to win so bad that it's it's like

434
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: a it's like a nightmare when you don't win, because

435
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 1: you you know, you give so much, and people don't

436
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: realize distress and pressure that you feel at that point

437
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 1: in time because you're not only playing for the team.

438
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: You're really playing for the fans in the city that

439
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: you're involved in, and community pride is something that you know.

440
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: I look at the Green Bay Packers France. It's a

441
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: small small city and a very small city that's won

442
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: world championships in more than one and you see that.

443
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: You see in a big city in New England, in

444
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: Boston area, the Patriots, they've had a different kind of run.

445
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: And so all of these teams, regardless of where they are,

446
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: it's about community pride. And I think in a smaller

447
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: community there's probably a lot more community pride. But people

448
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: do not realize just how much players want to win

449
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: and how sad it is. And I've said it many

450
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: times before, but there's a lot more incredible stories in

451
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: a Luke Losers locker room, and there's the elation and

452
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: winning a championship. I saw where Rob Polinkas said that,

453
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: you know, basically winning a championship or it's not a

454
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: successful season. I mean, well, you know, Rob is Rob

455
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: is very eloquent, of course, and he says what he says,

456
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: but this is it's difficult, and the Lakers have won

457
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: a lot. It puts enormous pressure on teams to have

458
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: the expectation anyway, because Las Vegas does that to you

459
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: in the fans betting. But as I say, I don't

460
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: think I would ever say that in my life. It's

461
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: just not who I am. But the expectation should be

462
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: very high over there. Can you tell him? Did did

463
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: you meet Kawhi Leonard? And I've never really haven't interviewed him.

464
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: I haven't seen him interviewed that much like he's a mystery.

465
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: Jerry well Dan, I've never met him before until a

466
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 1: meeting we had with him. And he's a oneful person,

467
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 1: he really is. He's funny, charming. Um, I think he's

468
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: I think he'll he's a great, great player. Then he

469
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: might be the best two way player in basketball. And

470
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: when you when you're around him, you don't even feel

471
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: that he's just quiet. Um. It's hard to describe, but

472
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm a I've always been a great fan of his

473
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 1: and also Paul George of course, but to have them

474
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 1: to two on one side is pretty special. And as

475
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: I say, in Los Angeles, it should be fun when

476
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: he's teams played each other'll be like a play off

477
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: atmosphere in the city will probably really respond to it.

478
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: But he's he's a great guy. He's just quiet and

479
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 1: it's super to have him on our side for a while. Yeah,

480
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: it's interesting the personality that he kind of fits the

481
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: Clippers personality. And I don't you know whereas if you

482
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: go to the Lakers, I think you have to have

483
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: a certain personality or we expect a certain personalities. That's

484
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: team flair or does that sound right? Not really, I

485
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: think anyone can fit in anywhere in this league. Just

486
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: be yourself, don't don't try to be something or not.

487
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: You know, we have players in this league have big personalities.

488
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: We have other teams where you know, these players have

489
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: been incredible. Um, a little bit of extra gold us

490
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: sprinkled on a minute shot shows. But also I like

491
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: these quiet assassins myself. Yeah, I'm I said at the beginning,

492
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if you called and I was the

493
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 1: front office executive, I don't know if I think you're

494
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: called Jerry, Well, I don't do that anymore. I don't know, Okay,

495
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: I I have some really great people I work residents

496
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: and Lawrence Frank Franks is just incredible. I've never seen

497
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: any work work as hard as him in my life.

498
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: Trent Reddon, Who's uh. He turned down an opportunity down

499
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: in Memphis to not in Memphis. I'm sorry New Orleans

500
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: to be the general manager stay with us. A great

501
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: guy and the brains in our organization. I said, he's

502
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: always kid him about how how smart he is. Michael Winger.

503
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: He's just done a great job for us also, So

504
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: it's fun to be part of that. And as I say,

505
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: I do have a voice, but I'm not the one

506
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: who's calling people. But as I say, everyone's excited about

507
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: what we've done. We have to go out and prove

508
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: it on the court. We have a tremendous bench. Also

509
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: tremendous if you look at the lineup we have we

510
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: can put out there. You talking about defensive players, My goodness,

511
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: we got a bunch of them, and and it should

512
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: be a fun year for all. I just can't imagine.

513
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: What did you ever feel sorry for Charlotte where you

514
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: called up and said, you know what, we're gonna trade Vloode.

515
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: We would like Kobe. I mean, come on, you had

516
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: to know, well, you know I think we all have

517
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: favorite players in a draft, and to me, he was

518
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: a pretty easy selection. I thought he was the best

519
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: player in the draft, to be honest with him, said

520
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: that before. And you know, our again, our hopes were

521
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: to try to be able to acquire a free agent,

522
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: and certainly that was Shaquille O'Neill. We were able to

523
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: do that. And one of the things I said to

524
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: Shaquille and when we were talking at that point in time,

525
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: we could only talk, you couldn't meet with him, and

526
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: we talked a lot, and I'd never met him before.

527
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: We got to be good friends over the phone, and

528
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: it was amazing to talk about. I know anything I

529
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: said to him, I don't believe that you ever say

530
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: anything derogatory about at a franchise. I think you have

531
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: to stoll the virtues of the ownership and also the

532
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: people you're working with. You should never talk derogatory about

533
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: it at a franchise. And you know, when players leave,

534
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: they have the right to lead. Today, but at that

535
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: point in time, it was much more easy, I think,

536
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: to make deals because you didn't have agents involved. He

537
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: didn't have players telling you where they wanted to go.

538
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: At that point in time, people were pretty loyal and

539
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: it's completely changed. The landscape has changed, and you know,

540
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: who wouldn't want to play for some of the teams

541
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: and Easy Lake with these historic names over the years,

542
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: and certainly the Lakers are won at that point in time.

543
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: And to get your Kiel and to get a young

544
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: puppy and Kobe Bryant, that was pretty special in one year. Well,

545
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: congrats Jerry, whether you had a large role or small role,

546
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: you've You've got two great players there and should be

547
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: a fun time in Los Angeles. We always appreciate talking

548
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: to you, and great to talk to him our best.

549
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: That's Jerry West, Hall of Famer, the Clippers special consultant. Yeah,

550
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: I didn't know if he played a role, but it's

551
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: not a coincidence. You know, he's in these front offices

552
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: and they somehow make the right moves, whether it's draft picks,

553
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: trade or sign a free agent. And look, you know

554
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: I've had people who say, you know, you forget Jerry

555
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: West has made mistakes. No, I well aware of that,

556
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: but he said he's in a lot of home runs. Yeah,

557
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: he was never MVP and he won one time. I look,

558
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: I understand that I cried after the Lakers lost those

559
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:03,959
Speaker 1: NBA Finals. I know it. I'm just saying, he's the logo,

560
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: was a great player, two way player, and somehow, some

561
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: way made some of the biggest moves in NBA history

562

611
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: and that's going to the owners and the players. So

612
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: it's a business decision, and I totally understand it. If

613
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: you were in Lebron's shoes, would you say anything? I think?

614
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: I think as a player it's a lose lose situation.

615
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: You can't control what goes on in another country. I

616
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: think it's totally you know, the thing is really funny.

617
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: All these idiots and jackass and the foods are radiant

618
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: and television about these players should do that. These are

619
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: the same people who've been hating on prolon Kaepinick for

620
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: the last few years, and that's in another country. So

621
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 1: I find out how larous listen all these idiots foods

622
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: and jackass is on the radio or TV. Come about

623
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: what these players should stand up? The first of all,

624
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,479
Speaker 1: you guys been killing plon Kaepinick for the last extra

625
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: body years. Proba. Y'all want to control what happens in

626
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: a country, Give me a break, please. I thought that

627
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: what was interesting is we haven't heard anything from China

628
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: as far as Adam Silver or anybody else like this

629
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: is a good thing. You just want to get these

630
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: games over with, get out and then hopefully you can

631
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: repair things. So, uh, what do you think of the

632
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: job Adam Silver has done so far? Well, Adam Silver

633
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: works for the owners and kinda works for the players.

634
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: Like I said, Dan, this is billions and billions of dollars,

635
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: I said, I can find a funny. Everybody's going to

636
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: let's make this moral a stan You know what, it

637
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,760
Speaker 1: does not feel billions of dollars. It's easy for somebody

638
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: to make a stand. They don't have any scan in

639
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: the game. There's an Adam saidn't work for the owners

640
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,439
Speaker 1: and the players. I'm over the keepers for the last time.

641
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: We're talking billions of dollars, billions of dollars, So I

642
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 1: totally understand it. It's a it's an awful situation. But

643
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: this is Charva. This is not the United States. But

644
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 1: all these guys out here want to pick the moral

645
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 1: hot ground. H said. These are the same people who've

646
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: been hating on Colin calpernat so that they don't care

647
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 1: what happens in the United States. All of a sudden,

648
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: they don't know what happened to don't understand on what

649
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: happened in China. So I just sit back and just

650
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: wrapped all these fools. Can Zion Williamson live up to

651
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: the expectations the hype this year, Well, then he's number

652
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 1: one pick in the draft. Any number one draft pick

653
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: us on a tremendous pressure. I think he's a really

654
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: really pathed kid. I think he's in great hands with

655
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: Alvin Gentry and David Griffin. He said, it seems like

656
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: a really nice kid team. But you know, don't are

657
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: the expectations when you're the number one pick in the draft.

658
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna have a fan sitting back watching. Like

659
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: I said, he seems really talented, and he seems like

660
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: a nice kid, and it's great for the NBA. Uh

661
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:06,479
Speaker 1: if he's successful. I was watching the ESPN pregame show

662
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: last night and they used the comparison because we always

663
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: have to compare somebody, and they used you in Dominique

664
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: Wilkins for Zion Williamson, a hybrid of you two. What

665
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 1: do you think of that comparison? Well, he's not fair

666
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: to compare to me. He's not really as good as

667
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: I was in myhavor. He's really talented, he hasn't employed

668
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: in my fish the NBA game yet and Dominique to

669
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: the Hole of Fame also, but listen, I think it's

670
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 1: I love the kid. I wish say nothing but the best,

671
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: but a disrespected and compared like said, he's me already.

672
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: I mean, dude, I've been in the whole, I'm in

673
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: the Hope of Fame. But to compare him to me

674
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: and Dominique, two guys who are great players in the

675
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: home of Fame, Uh, that's not fair to him. That's

676
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: not Dominique to be honest with him. Yeah, I think

677
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: that people are going to be a little bit surprising,

678
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit disappointed when they watch Zion in

679
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: the numbers that he puts up. Because I said, if

680
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 1: he could put up the numbers that Julius Randall put

681
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: up for this team last year, I'd be thrilled if

682
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: you said he went twenty one and ten, I'd be

683
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: thrilled with that. Uh. I think that we're we think

684
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: he's going to have these monster nights, and he might,

685
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: but I just don't think that the end, you know,

686
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,760
Speaker 1: the NBA is different than you know, playing an acc

687
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: schedule like he did at Duke. You got some grown

688
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: men in there. Uh. And he's gonna have to be

689
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 1: able to shoot the jumper. I love, I love, He's

690
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: a good team player, got a great feel for the game,

691
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: passes the ball. Well. I just don't want people to

692
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: go only only average seventeen and nine this year of

693
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: that that's a game place, you know, because we don't

694
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: have I don't I said, we don't have a pump

695
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: in NC State, NA. I mean we I'm I don't

696
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: think there's any bad teams in the West. I mean,

697
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: I think the West is the best it's ever been.

698
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: So I just want to see the kid play. I

699
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: hope he's great because I think it'll be great for

700
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 1: the NBA. But I got no idea that Like if

701
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: the West has a crazy man, I don't know what

702
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: he's going to do. But like I said, I got

703
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: great faith in Alvin Gentry, uh and David Griffin like

704
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: a great kid. But let's just let this team clear out.

705
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think they're a playoff team by

706
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 1: industrys or imagination, but man, the West is just gonna

707
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: be flying the watch and I can't wait for the

708
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: season gets started in a couple of weeks. You think

709
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 1: that they should look into re seating when you get

710
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: to the playoffs that you know, take out the East

711
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:52,879
Speaker 1: and West. You know, that's a great question. Um, that's

712
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: a great question. Well, listen, Milwaukee in Philly. I think

713
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: Milwa kim Philly are the best two teams in the East,

714
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:07,320
Speaker 1: with Boston kind of a third both in the West.

715
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: I got zero ideas who are gonna win the West?

716
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,280
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know how. You know, obviously Lebron

717
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: and ad they gotta be fantastic. I don't know what

718
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: Kauai is gonna do with load management and Paula George

719
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: got to come back. You know, Bundo and Utah are terrific.

720
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: You got Portland, Oh, you've got to the Rockets. That's

721
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: gonna be fascinating to watch. James Harden and Russell Westbrook.

722
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: I mean, the stories are gonna be existing. The Sacramento teams.

723
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 1: They gotta got a good teams, I think for the

724
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,399
Speaker 1: first time in a long time. Then I cannot wait

725
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 1: for the NBA at the start, because man, there's some

726
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 1: great story lines out there. There's some really great storylines

727
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: in the West. I cannot wait for the season the start.

728
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: What's your biggest concerned with the Lakers? Uh, Anthony Davis

729
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 1: and Lebron's health. They you know brons older. You know

730
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: he's not in the East. In the more like he

731
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: don't get those. You know, he used to get thirty

732
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: and four the easy games a year. He won't get

733
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: that in the West. You saw Lancer. If he missed

734
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,399
Speaker 1: any time, they're not gonna make the playoffs. And after

735
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: the Davis just got to prove he can stay healthy. Uh,

736
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: those are my two biggest concerns are with the Lakers

737
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 1: and Lebron's head and a d's health. I can say

738
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: to Way, you know he load management twenty two games

739
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: last year. He can't load maners in the West. He

740
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 1: missed twenty two games in the West. The Coopers were well,

741
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure they would make the playoff if

742
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,720
Speaker 1: he missed twenty two games. Talking to Charles Barclay inside

743
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: the NBA at NT studio analysts, can you explain this

744
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: beef between Shack and Damian Lellar Well, Shack, it got

745
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: senners in and flat style leagues. You know he can't

746
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:01,839
Speaker 1: he you know, it's good. I love working shot. He's

747
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: a good guy. But he can't want anything go. But

748
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: he don't realize Like then, I'm fifty six year agold

749
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: when somebody insulted me, I just laugh about it. He

750
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:20,399
Speaker 1: can't let anything go, and I'm hoping at some point

751
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: he gets to the point like, yeah, man, you're one

752
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: of the greatest to ever do it. You don't have

753
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: this I think they called it kid. You know, I

754
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: don't do it in social media because you don't want

755
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 1: the clock back every time somebody says something about you.

756
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 1: Somebody ever comes a four times of job same, he's

757
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: in his it's his time now, so Shot need to

758
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: step back and start even with these young kids, or

759
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: a simple I jobbed. You know one of my differences

760
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: behind named Jason with Jason with luck and I like

761
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 1: he said I jobbed because he made he called me,

762
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: he said opposize what I said. I don't want to

763
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: pass Dreamard laying in the face, and I didn't want

764
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: to touch him in the case. But he sent me

765
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: attention in that our job is to promote the game,

766
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 1: not get into it with the players. And as you

767
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,879
Speaker 1: know where Jason, you're correct, So I play that even

768
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:15,879
Speaker 1: though I didn't want to pass three mine in the face.

769
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: That's not my job to say get on TV and

770
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: say I want to face My job is to help

771
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: the NBA and Shot at the water that playing a

772
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 1: simple It was good TV though when you said you

773
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:34,439
Speaker 1: wanted to punch d dream and listen all to touch

774
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: him in the face. But end that goes back to

775
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: the current thing. We don't get to say everything we

776
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: want to old television like I want for a network

777
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 1: and you know, we don't get to say whatever we

778
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 1: want to. But we can say say some things. But

779
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: you don't get to say that Murray, you don't get

780
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: to say what he want too, like he got a

781
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: business deal with China, and I hear all these pluck

782
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: ass telicicians for timing in. They can't solve our own

783
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: problems in America, and they want us to hold up

784
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 1: our office and Pam won't tell and they stick a

785
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 1: good job, But we don't get to say what we

786
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: wanted to uh, because we all worked with somebody's else.

787
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: I think it was great Tod, and I admitted that

788
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 1: I want to part their mind in the face. You

789
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:29,320
Speaker 1: know I would. I chemically worked for the NBA is

790
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: to promote the game, and I was wrong in that instance.

791
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: I was running. And so I like they learned a

792
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: lot of appropriate because good basketball will. And though he

793
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 1: makes me a man of timely wind, the guy has

794
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: never committed to fall in his life. But it's not

795
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: my job to get on people and say I want

796
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: to punch him in the face. And I was wrong,

797
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: Then if game I'm playing them not played in the

798
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:59,400
