He's been 18 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 2: covering the US Olympic team. Summer League basketball continues, and 19 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 2: everybody spots somebody and they go, wow, that is going 20 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 2: to be great. Once again, I'm going to caution you 21 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 2: the Summer League is littered with guys who are Wow, 22 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 2: that guy is gonna be great, and then they disappear. 23 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 2: You know, you get an into an atmosphere where and 24 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 2: it feels like everything is run up and down the 25 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 2: floor and shoot threes. That's what the Summer League is. 26 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 2: But occasionally you'll get some players who know how to 27 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 2: play and they will play in the NBA. But as 28 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 2: far as playing at a high level, what you do 29 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 2: in the Summer League doesn't equate to stardom in the NBA. Right, 30 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 2: So we have a poll question today. Gus will join 31 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 2: us a little bit later on. We've been talking about 32 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 2: Cooper Flag, seventeen year old going to Duke. He's playing 33 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 2: against the Olympic team and holding his own and you 34 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 2: start to wonder about when does somebody become a phenom. 35 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 2: When do the parents realize this? Do they realize it 36 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: before the athlete does. We've had athletes in tennis as 37 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 2: young as what thirteen for Capriotti. They're there on the 38 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 2: center stage, they're playing in big events. In fact, tennis 39 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 2: has a lot of players, especially on the women's side 40 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: of tennis, that they're able to be there and play 41 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 2: at a high level at a younger age than the 42 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 2: men track and field, you have a sixteen year old 43 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 2: who's going to be representing the United States in track 44 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 2: and field. Basketball is a little trickier, although you can 45 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 2: go back to Lebron when he was sixteen playing against 46 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 2: NBA players holding his own Bryce Harper when he was 47 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 2: fifteen or sixteen on the cover Sports Illustrated. You just 48 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 2: have like the genetic lottery that you hit, But then 49 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 2: you also have to have parents who are and they 50 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 2: may border on being obsessive, but you have to sometime, 51 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 2: Like Tiger's dad was obsessive with Tiger, and if you 52 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 2: watch the documentary on Tiger, his parents tell his dad 53 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 2: tells him to break up with this girl that he 54 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 2: really likes her. He writes her a letter and says, 55 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 2: I got to break up with you. She's like, why 56 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 2: my dad told me to. He didn't want anybody or 57 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 2: anything to get in the way of Tiger being great. 58 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 2: You look at Venus and Serena Williams, their father he 59 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: was not going to let anything get in the way, 60 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 2: including their upbringing in Compton. They are on sixty minutes 61 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 2: and you're thinking, how are they able to be as 62 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 2: great as they are given the surroundings that they're growing 63 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 2: up in. But parents can be great. Parents can always 64 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: ruin things too. But you have a seventeen year old 65 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,839 Speaker 2: kid who grew up in Maine and he is now 66 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 2: the number one high school player in America and projected 67 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 2: to be the number one pick. Now we've seen this before. 68 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 2: Freddie Adu was a soccer player and he was supposed 69 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 2: to be the next great player and he never turned 70 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 2: out to be. I think he kind of burst on 71 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 2: the scene at fifteen. You have the hits and missus, 72 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 2: but sometimes you get that one and oh, oh my goodness, 73 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 2: that person is destined for greatness. But the role that 74 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 2: parents play, coaches play, and also that player himself, because 75 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 2: I think we all grew up with, you know, athletes 76 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 2: who were like, oh my god, he's so much better 77 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 2: than everybody else, but they matured quicker. I remember playing 78 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 2: against a guy in eighth grade and I go, I'll 79 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 2: never be as good as him. He didn't make the 80 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 2: freshman team, but in eighth grade he was unbelievable. That's 81 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 2: what happens. They stop, you continue, but then you have 82 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 2: to want to be great. That's another thing. It's not 83 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 2: your parents want you to be great. It's when the 84 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 2: child wants to be great, then the parents should follow suit, 85 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 2: not the other way around. 86 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 3: Yes, that's one of. 87 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 4: The things that people had been saying about Cooper Flagg. 88 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 4: I think I don't know if it was Kevin Durant 89 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 4: or not, that somebody had said, like, you could just 90 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 4: tell that this kid wants to be great like he 91 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 4: wants it, he wants to be the guy. 92 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 2: And you got to have that, because I've been around parents, 93 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 2: been around coaches, and they will tell you he just 94 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 2: doesn't want it, like it comes too easy for you. 95 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 3: Want that kid? Who you got to go? Dad? Can 96 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 3: you come out hippie grounders? Dad? Can you throw me BP? Dad? 97 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 3: Would you rebound for me? Like you want to have that? 98 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 2: And when you have that, then as a parent, it's 99 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 2: exciting because it's not like I gotta drag Timmy out 100 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 2: and having shag flies. Come on, we're going to the 101 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,679 Speaker 2: driving range on it's too hot. It's when the kid 102 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 2: is obsessed and then you follow suit. Too many times 103 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 2: it's parents who go come on yet, because we live 104 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 2: vicariously through our children. If we didn't succeed, or the 105 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 2: guy who almost had the college career or he almost 106 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 2: was a great high school player. Now you see yourself 107 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 2: and your son or daughter and you're like, come on, 108 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 2: get out there and do it for me. Whether they 109 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 2: say that or not, it is implied you want your 110 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 2: son or daughter to succeed. Parents take great pride in that. 111 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 2: Hey look what I did. Look what we did out there. 112 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 2: But you have to have something in your mind, that 113 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 2: DNA that says I want to be great and nothing 114 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 2: is going to stop me. Because you wouldn't expect a 115 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 2: kid in Maine to be the number one player in 116 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 2: America in high school basketball, going into college basketball and 117 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: going to be the projected number one pick. But you 118 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 2: wouldn't have expected Serena Williams coming out of Compton to 119 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 2: be the best female tennis player of all time. 120 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 3: And who's this kid? 121 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 2: Tiger Woods and he's going to take on everybody, And 122 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 2: at age two or three he's on a TV show. 123 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 2: Get you can't script these things. You have to have 124 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 2: it just falls into place. But the son or the 125 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 2: daughter and the role they play of wanting it is 126 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 2: really key because a lot of time the parents want 127 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 2: it more than the child does. All right, we'll come 128 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 2: up with the pole question here, But yeah, we were 129 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 2: kind of looking at this with the tennis players at Wembledon, 130 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 2: I mean even eighteen years of age, that's not young, 131 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 2: not anymore. Certainly on the female side of the draw. 132 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 2: You know, you get fourteen fifteen years of age, but 133 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 2: a male track star at sixteen that's really unheard of. 134 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 2: You'll get some fast, you know, track and field athletes 135 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 2: at that age, but then to go to the Olympics, 136 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 2: that's different. So they're just certain players and certain athletes. 137 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 2: And I always look at, you know, the lineage here 138 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 2: your dad play, mom play. Look at Christian McCaffrey's parents 139 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 2: and grandparents, great athletes. Mahomes' dad major League Baseball player, 140 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 2: Griffy with his father, I mean Tiger. You know his 141 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 2: dad was a athlete, not anywhere. 142 00:07:58,520 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 3: Near what he is. 143 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 2: Kobe Bryant, his dad play like you you have that 144 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 2: where you go your dad play? 145 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 3: Now? No, my mom is all American volleyball player. 146 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 5: Okay, like it. 147 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 2: They's somewhere in the tree, the DNA tree where you go. 148 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah that guy. Yeah. 149 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 4: See Brad on Twitter brings up a good one too. 150 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 4: He has Katie Ledecki. She won a gold medal at fifteen. Yeah, 151 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 4: I think kind of out of nowhere. Well you find 152 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 4: that though also with female swimmers. While Missy Franklin I 153 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 4: think was really young, like you, Dearren Torres, like, there's 154 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 4: a lot of you know, women mature quicker sooner and 155 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 4: have that opportunity to be able to compete before you know. 156 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 3: Boys, we're goofy, we're gangly. 157 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, gold medal at fifteen, it's it's pretty good. 158 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yeah, Paul. 159 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 5: I think you hit it on the head. It helps 160 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 5: if your father or mother played basketball. I looked at 161 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 5: Cooper Flag both parents played small college basketball mate, so 162 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 5: it comes from a basketball family. But the gift when 163 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 5: they say an athletes gifted, was Michael Jordan gifted with 164 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 5: leaping ability and coordination? Or was his gift a maniacal 165 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 5: desire to win and improve? Lebron's gift is being six ' 166 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 5: eight and coordinated and jacked, but also to work out 167 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 5: like that? Or Kobe Bryant was his gift is basketball 168 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 5: jumping ability and leaping ability or being a maniac about 169 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 5: working out. Maybe that's the gift. 170 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 2: But also when you realize you have it, the question 171 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 2: is do you want to cultivate it? Because there are 172 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 2: a lot of people who have a lot of talent. 173 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 2: And I was around a woman who's beautiful singer, and 174 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 2: I go, why don't you do this for livning? 175 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 3: Why you know? 176 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 2: Why don't you explore this? And she goes, I don't think, 177 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 2: So I go why and she said, I don't know. 178 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 2: I'm just not I'm just I know how to do it. 179 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 2: I just don't know if I want to do it. 180 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 2: And I go, Okay, you know that's but that does happen. 181 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 2: Sometimes you're good at something, but you're just good at it. 182 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 2: Doesn't mean you want that as your job. 183 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 3: You don't. You're not obsessed with it. Some things come natural. Yes. 184 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 4: See, my cousin Vince, when he was like thirteen years old, 185 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 4: was like six four two fifty. Kid was an absolute monster. 186 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 4: And I was like, holy crap, this kid's gonna be 187 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 4: alignment for Notre Dame. This is amazing. He's going to 188 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 4: the NFL. And he couldn't care less about football. He 189 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 4: just wanted to be an accountant. 190 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 3: And that's what he is to this day. 191 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 4: And his like friends in high school I think made 192 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,079 Speaker 4: him play football because they're like the coach's like, kid, 193 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 4: you're too big, Like you have to play you have 194 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 4: to do this. But he just wanted to be an accountant. 195 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 4: He just wanted to crunch numbers. That's what he wanted 196 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 4: to do. He had no interest in football. 197 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 2: And there it happens with a lot of people. You know, 198 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 2: you can have somebody who's great at math. They don't 199 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 2: like math, they're just really good at math. Hey, man, 200 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 2: you should be a scientist. 201 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 3: I don't think so. 202 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, Todd, Well, maybe you do like it, but you 203 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 6: don't have the self confidence to be able to take 204 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 6: it to the next level. Yeah, and you've convinced yourself 205 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 6: there's no way I'm gonna be able to hit that 206 00:10:59,280 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 6: kind of level. 207 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 2: Of Also, when you become a star, like a Little 208 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 2: League World Series star, now all of a sudden, Hey 209 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 2: what happened to you? Everybody catches up to you. That's 210 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 2: the difference between I'm really good at a really young age, 211 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 2: I'm twelve. Now what happens. And we've seen a lot 212 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 2: of these athletes, certainly Little League World Series. You're like, man, 213 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,199 Speaker 2: was he great? Oh? 214 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,839 Speaker 3: Did he play high school or baseball a little bit? 215 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 3: Didn't play in college? Yeah? That kid? 216 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 4: Yesterday Lamina Male plays for Spain place for Barcelona. That 217 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 4: kid is an absolute superstar and he had a banger 218 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 4: yesterday sixteen sixteen. Yeah, yeah, he's one of the stories 219 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 4: about the Euros so far that people have been laughing about. 220 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 4: Is that or at least like, you know, leading up 221 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 4: to this was that he had to do his homework 222 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 4: all the time. 223 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 3: Lamina. 224 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 4: Mile is busy doing his homework while his teammates are 225 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 4: like out getting dinner or something. He's like, oh, I 226 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 4: got a test or whatever. And he's an absolute superstar sixteen. 227 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 2: But you like Michael Jackson, he's in a musical family, 228 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 2: but you know, his dad, Joe had to go man 229 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 2: like special and he was like, there's just certain prodigies 230 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 2: where you just see it and you go, how is that? 231 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 2: Why did he get all the talent? His brothers are 232 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 2: just playing instruments. It's just that's you win the genetic pool, 233 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 2: you win the lottery. And that's exactly what happens with 234 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 2: a lot of these talented athletes, musicians, artists. You know, 235 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 2: there's certain kids where you go, wait, he's graduating from 236 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 2: college with four degrees at twelve, Yeah, now I barely 237 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 2: got out of eighth grade, yes, Paul. 238 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 5: And sometimes you think maybe it's just destiny. Like Michael 239 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 5: Jordan's the only person in his family over five ten. 240 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 5: I think you've met his brother. His brother's like five 241 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 5: to eight. All his parents and relatives were all like 242 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 5: five seven, five eight, five nine, and then there's this 243 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,599 Speaker 5: six to sixth guy who becomes the greatest player of 244 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 5: all time. It doesn't make sense. Or like Serena and 245 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 5: Venus Williams. Venus Williams had a very good career, not 246 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 5: diminishing it, a very good career. Serena had the greatest 247 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 5: career of all time. What's the difference? Like they both 248 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 5: were raised in the same household, with the same tennis lessons, 249 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 5: with the same dayag just. 250 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 2: They're built different, right, But Venus Venus is today is 251 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 2: the older type tennis player. With her style, Serena was power. 252 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 2: You'd never seen that before. You have to go back 253 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 2: to Martina. She ushered in power and Serena took that 254 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 2: and it was just nobody was playing like that. And 255 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 2: also sometimes you get the younger sibling who succeeds or 256 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 2: is a better athlete, better performer, whatever it might be. 257 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 2: But they benefited by being the younger sibling. There you 258 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 2: get to see your brother's sister. So it's just kind 259 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 2: of fascinating that you look now and we're also in 260 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 2: an arrow of sports where we have athlete Tom Brady's 261 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 2: playing until he's forty five, Lebron at forty it's not 262 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 2: out of the question where you go, Khali, these guys 263 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 2: are still playing at a high level. Djokovic, he's old 264 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 2: in tennis, still playing at a very high level. But 265 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 2: that's what's amazing. You got both ends of the spectrum now. 266 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 2: Didn't used to be where you had players in their 267 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 2: upper thirties early forties still at the top of their game. 268 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 2: That's new in the last you know, ten to fifteen years, 269 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 2: maybe ten years as far as phenoms. Somebody who's twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, 270 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 2: that's been around, been around for a long long time 271 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 2: and will continue. But also you're looking at sometimes families 272 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 2: attach their future financial future to somebody who's really young. Hey, 273 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 2: he's a really good golfer. You know, we're going to 274 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 2: move around, he's going to go to a different high school, 275 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 2: We're going to move like then all of a sudden, 276 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 2: you're putting pressure on that kid at twelve or thirteen, 277 00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 2: fourteen fifteen. You got to succeed. We're hounting on you. 278 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 2: You see this with actors in Hollywood. Hey, you're nine 279 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 2: and you're on a sitcom, we're following you. 280 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, there is some of that though, where you know, 281 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 3: it's not for everybody. 282 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 4: There's obviously not just one path to get to where 283 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 4: we're talking about. But the only way for some people 284 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 4: that you can get there is to be all in. 285 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 4: If you're kind of like, well, okay, yeah, give the 286 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 4: basketball thing a try, or give the acting thing a try, 287 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 4: but after college, well now it's too late, or you 288 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 4: know what I mean. There's times that you have to 289 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 4: go all in at twelve years old and move your 290 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 4: family from you know, Massachusetts to California because Tom House 291 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 4: is going to start training your kid, like okay, well yeah, 292 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 4: this is how we have. 293 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 3: To do it. You have to be all in. 294 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 2: And Cooper Flagg's parents had to be all in that 295 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 2: he's leaving from Maine to go to Florida and doing 296 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 2: that a couple of years ago, and here he is 297 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 2: seventeen years of age. But I always go back to 298 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 2: Toddnovich and his dad, Marv Marinovich, and he wanted his 299 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 2: son to be robo quarterback and and Todd did succeed. 300 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 2: He was a good USC quarterback and uh I think 301 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 2: he played in some playoff games with the Raiders. Of course, 302 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 2: he's had some personal problems as well. I don't know 303 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 2: if his father pushing him fed into that. Like he 304 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 2: didn't have McDonald's like there. You know he's famous for 305 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 2: you never had, you know, processed food. And you know, 306 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 2: he just wanted to live his life and be normal. 307 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 2: He just didn't know what normal was. So parents can 308 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 2: sometimes ruin it. But when you have the you know, 309 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 2: something special, someone special, that's what's interesting. Now what role 310 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 2: do you play? But I always go back to how 311 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 2: bad do you want it? Because if you want it, 312 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 2: then I'm gonna want it. But I don't want to 313 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 2: be the one waking you up, dragging you around the country, 314 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 2: you know, going to AAU events, playing in soccer matches 315 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 2: in four different states, hockey travel. I mean, parents are 316 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 2: wonderful when they're accommodating their son or daughter. It's when 317 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 2: it becomes about them, that's when it's a problem. We'll 318 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 2: take a break, We'll settle on a poll question. Just 319 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 2: getting started here.

I expect Spain to 413 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 2: be good. The question is how good can they be? 414 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 2: Can you be good for four games? Like you can 415 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 2: do a one off and somebody can surprise somebody, but 416 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 2: can you be really good to bordering on great for 417 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 2: four days or four games?

Okay, thank you? Can you be great? Therefore, 422 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 2: it's not a fluke if you win the gold medal. 423 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 2: If you're going to get to that point and you're 424 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 2: playing seven games, you get to the gold medal game, 425 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 2: then you've established yourself as being a good team. And 426 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 2: Canada has a really good roster. And you go back 427 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 2: to the Vince Carter effect on Canadian basketball. Now I 428 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 2: talk about Staf Curry's impact on the NBA with three 429 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 2: point shooters, you can go back and just say it 430 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 2: started with Vince Carter in Canada. Now, Damon Stodomayer was there. 431 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 2: That was you know, a long time before that, but 432 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 2: you know Vince being there and he was an aerial display, 433 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 2: so in a hockey craze country, you were seeing this great. 434 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:23,199 Speaker 8: You know. 435 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 2: I go back to Leo Routins who played at Syracuse 436 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 2: and he was from Canada, and he was one of 437 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 2: the first guys from Canada where I go, Oh, I 438 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 2: don't know how much basketball they play up there, but 439 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 2: he was a really good shooting big man, probably six ' ten. 440 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 2: And you just didn't talk about Canadian basketball, but now 441 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 2: you do.

I wonder 446 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 5: how far up the chain basketball is now played indoors 447 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 5: cold weather. You know, I know there's other sports Soccer 448 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 5: they do, Okay, I wonder Basketball Football League, yeah, c SOLID. 449 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 3: I love CF. 450 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 5: I want a basketball number two. 451 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 2: Well, they certainly have success and they have players playing 452 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 2: in the NBA, and that's what you want growing up. 453 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 2: You want to see somebody like you playing at a 454 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 2: high level, you know, playing in a sport where you 455 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 2: go okay, And that's what Canada has been able to 456 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 2: do in the last twenty years. There's a lot of 457 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 2: really good players that you don't realize are from Canada. 458 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 2: I think Steve Nash he kind of started this too 459 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 2: at a higher level. Uh certainly had Steve and Vince Carter. 460 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 2: I don't know if there's anybody else that comes to mind. 461 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,360 Speaker 2: Vancouver Grizzlies with. 462 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 5: That great unions. 463 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 2: I always thought that that was a shout out by 464 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 2: the clash. You know, sure Reef don't Lincoln? Yeah, sure, 465 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 2: Reef aubdoor right here and big Country, Big Country Reeves. 466 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 3: All right, So what's the pole question, Seat O'Connor. 467 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 4: Which would be worse USA Basketball losing to Canada or France? 468 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 5: Which would americ be more bothered by? 469 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 2: Okay, France has the home court advantage. You have to 470 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 2: factor that in. If it's in a different country and 471 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 2: France won, If the Olympics were in Brazil and France, 472 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 2: one might be a little bit different. But France at 473 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 2: home and you got Rudy Gobert and you've got Victor Wimbenyama, 474 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 2: So I start there. Buckets are going to be hard 475 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 2: to come by if you come inside. I don't know 476 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,479 Speaker 2: who else is on the right. Like Nicholas Batoum feels 477 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 2: like he's fifty years of age, but he still plays great. 478 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 3: In these games. 479 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, Marv, oh yeah, Now he's the black Larry Bird. 480 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 2: Is that the French Larry Bird? 481 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 3: The French Larry Bird? Who called him that he could be? 482 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 5: Like? 483 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 2: Oh that was Vincent Goodwill from Yahoo Sports yesterday. He's 484 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 2: like Evan Fournier plays like Larry Bird when it comes 485 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 2: to these games. I don't think there's shame in losing. 486 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,120 Speaker 2: I don't because I mean, look at the draft, look 487 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 2: at the number of foreign born players, Look at the 488 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 2: number of players from France that are coming into the NBA, 489 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,679 Speaker 2: and they're going to continue to come in, and France 490 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 2: is going to be a power if they aren't already. 491 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 4: Yes, America doesn't handle losing very well, right, especially our game. Yeah, 492 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 4: but we've lost before in our game And how did 493 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,199 Speaker 4: that go over? I don't know, did you what are 494 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 4: you upset? 495 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 3: Were you like? Damn it? 496 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 2: We got to get the dreams team back out there. 497 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 2: This might be the thing. 498 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 4: People weren't like that, you know, like they're no dream 499 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 4: team that's a bunch of losers. Let's get the good 500 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 4: guys out there. Well, that's why they put the Dream 501 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 4: Team in there. It was called the Redeemed Team, the 502 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 4: Redeemed Team team. I know, I know they had failed. 503 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 2: Yes they did. I know we're territorial. I get that. 504 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 2: I just if Canada wins like I wouldn't be shocked, 505 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 2: but I'd be surprised. Yeah, I'd be surprised because I'm 506 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 2: told this is the most talented team ever, more so 507 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 2: than the Dream Team. Okay, all I know is you 508 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 2: don't have Michael Jordan and even Charles Barkley. Charles was 509 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 2: the leading scorer for the Olympic team with the Dream Team. Uh, 510 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 2: you had some ceremonial picks for the Dream Team. But 511 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 2: I don't know if is this roster that much better? 512 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 2: I don't know, Oh, because I don't know if there's 513 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 2: is there somebody equal to Jordan? And the answers no, 514 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,199 Speaker 2: is there somebody equal to Barkley? And I would say no. 515 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 2: At that time Barkley was was that MVP season? I like, 516 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,719 Speaker 2: the next season did he win the MVP? And you know, 517 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,439 Speaker 2: we know Jordan's history there. You know, Bird was a 518 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 2: shell of his former self. You know, Chris Mullen was there, 519 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 2: you know, at Stockton Malone. I mean, you had a 520 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 2: really talented roster. But I don't know when you compare 521 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 2: the two, is this team that much better? 522 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 3: I guess yes, don. 523 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 6: I think it would be worse if we lost to Canada. 524 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 6: I'm just put it out there. I think people, the 525 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 6: average persons maybe not following it would be like, this 526 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 6: isn't hockey, this is basketball. We gotta beat Canada. Maybe 527 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 6: we don't know what's going on in the euro steps 528 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 6: and you know, foreign country year steps across the pond. 529 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 6: They played the game differently, and we're not used to 530 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 6: playing that kind of game against that team that's been 531 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 6: together many years or whatever it is. I think that 532 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 6: can be dismissed fatter than losing to Canada. 533 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 2: Okay, but Team USA and hockey based, you know versus 534 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 2: Canada Olympic team. Nobody's you know Team USA would win, 535 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 2: are you? I mean, is it that big of an 536 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 2: upset up? 537 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 5: There probably was, I'll bet you up, like on sports radio, 538 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 5: not being facetious, they probably were really upset by that. 539 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 5: I think if Canada beat USA, that's an interering level 540 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 5: of bragging rights for Canada, like we're the best basketball 541 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 5: in this in North America. 542 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 2: There's a lot of Canadian players who are in the NBA. Yeah, 543 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 2: And that's what people don't realize. You say, oh, wait, 544 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 2: he's from Canada. Yeah, I don knew that. Thank you, 545 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 2: you give me the Canadian roster? 546 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 3: Can you give me? You know? 547 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 2: And then Zach EDI's not even playing for that team, 548 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 2: which now he's the two time player of the year. 549 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 2: He's not a great or considered to be a great 550 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 2: NBA player, but still he's been two time college player 551 00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 2: of the Year. Yeah. 552 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 4: See, while we're looking up the Canadian player the two 553 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 4: thousand and four Olympic team, right, Alan Iverson, Stefan Marbury, 554 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 4: Dwayne Wade, Carlos Boozer, Carmelo Anthony Lebron, James A. Mecca 555 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 4: okafor Shawn Mary and Amari Stodemeyer, Tim Duncan lamar Odom 556 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 4: and Richard Jefferson got a bronze medal. People went absolutely 557 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 4: ballistic on those dudes. Those who know basketball didn't do 558 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 4: that to them. Well, you weren't a hot taker in 559 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 4: two thousands, for sure, Still get more measured. 560 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 2: I know. It's it's wire to wire. I'm not a 561 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 2: hot taker. I'm gonna be measured here. I think my 562 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 2: audience deserves that. Yes, Paul on the Canadian national team. 563 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 2: You got Logan's Dort. You love him, Lou Dort. 564 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, but he plays in the NBA. 565 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 5: He's a very good player. 566 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: R J. 567 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 5: Barrett, Alexander Walker, Dylan Brooks, Sjay Gilgis, Jamal Murray. Got 568 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 5: some shooters, Kelly Olennok picking up four and for rebounds. 569 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 3: That doesn't help my argument. 570 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 5: I saved him for the end. Okay, Trey Lyles names 571 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 5: you know, Okay, but you do have a respectable roster 572 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 5: here and put you know, it's not like when you 573 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 5: see Spain or Argentina and you're like, oh my god, 574 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 5: these guys are so good. 575 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 2: Well, these guys haven't played in the NBA. They just 576 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 2: stay in their home country and play. And it's always 577 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 2: these countries that the team is the same and they 578 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 2: play together all the time. Those are the teams you 579 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 2: have to worry about. It's not just let's just put 580 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 2: together all these all stars, because that doesn't always equate 581 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 2: to success. It's that guy knows his role on this 582 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 2: team and it's been the same role for seven years. 583 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 2: That's when you have an upset, That's when you get 584 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 2: a surprise there. All right, So that's the poll question. 585 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 2: What would be worse if Team USA Hey lost to 586 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 2: Canada or France. 587 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 4: Yes, early Pole results have seventy Canada. 588 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: Let sneak in a couple of phone calls. Doug in 589 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 1: North Carolina leads us off on this Wednesday. Good morning, 590 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: Doug Hey. 591 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 8: Dan, you were talking about that fine line that parents 592 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 8: face between simply encouraging their kids and living vicariously through 593 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 8: their kids, and I want to talk about one dad 594 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 8: who clearly crossed over that line. The best sports biography 595 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 8: book that I've ever read, and I'm not even a 596 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 8: tennis fan, but if you're a reader, get a copy 597 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 8: of Open by Andrea Legacy. It's four hundred pages of 598 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,959 Speaker 8: how much he hated tennis. But it's how tennis was 599 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 8: tied into his relationship with his father, who I think 600 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 8: was an immigrant and I think he was a boxer 601 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 8: if I remember correctly, And he decided when the boy 602 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 8: was two years old that this kid was going to 603 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 8: be great at tennis, and Legacy hated it, and he 604 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 8: talked about when he fell in love with stephie Graff. 605 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 8: That's what we bonded over. She had a dominating father herself. 606 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 8: And I'm wondering, in all your years, have you ever 607 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 8: interviewed an athlete who went on to become great at 608 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 8: what they do but maybe it was in search of 609 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 8: parental love. If you've ever or talked to any great 610 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 8: athlete about that. 611 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a great point, Doug, and I did talk 612 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,960 Speaker 2: to Dale Earnhardt Junior, and he was looking for parental love. 613 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 2: Junior was looking for his dad's love. Did talk to 614 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 2: Andre Agassi interviewed him. I read the book. It's heartbreaking 615 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 2: in there because his dad wanted something that his son 616 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 2: didn't want. But you you're good at it, but you 617 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 2: don't want to hurt the relations. You don't want to 618 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 2: disappoint your parents. And I think Andre did it. And 619 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 2: you know, then there were a lot of things off 620 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 2: the court that he got into, you know, was style 621 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 2: over substance, where like, oh, this guy's a flash. He 622 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 2: looks like he's his star celebrity, but let's see him win, 623 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 2: and then he became one of the greats. But I 624 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 2: can understand that where I'm gonna do this, my dad 625 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 2: wants me to do this, and then that's that's that's 626 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,080 Speaker 2: the bond that you have. And then you decide you 627 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 2: don't want to do it anymore. Oh my god, I'm 628 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 2: going to hurt dad's feelings or Dad's going to be 629 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 2: bad at me. Dad's going to be angry like that's 630 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 2: imagine if you're a child in your fourteen and all 631 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 2: of a sudden you say, I don't want to play 632 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,479 Speaker 2: baseball anymore, and you got to go tell your dad. 633 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 2: Even though you're really good at it, you just don't 634 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 2: like it, and it happens all the time, or you 635 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,439 Speaker 2: stay in it because you have to because you don't 636 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,399 Speaker 2: want to disappoint your parents. It's a very, very very 637 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 2: tricky thing. Thankfully, I had four kids who weren't good athletes, 638 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 2: so never had to worry about that. Never problem solve. Yeah, 639 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 2: Travel teams nope, not here. All Star teams, nope, not here. 640 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,360 Speaker 2: But they tried. And that's all we said. If you start, 641 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 2: then you finish. That's it. If you don't like it, 642 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,919 Speaker 2: you still have to play the entire season.

Keeping an eye on the Yankees as I 687 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 2: always do. They've been the worst team in baseball for 688 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 2: the last month. Now, all of a sudden, the GM 689 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:29,959 Speaker 2: Brian Cashman is going on the road. 690 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 3: What does that mean. 691 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,719 Speaker 2: I mean, it's not a good sign, but all of 692 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,839 Speaker 2: a sudden things are so bad. The GM is now 693 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:37,439 Speaker 2: on the road. 694 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 6: Cashman's here. 695 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 5: We got to win now, Yes, yeah, he said to 696 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,880 Speaker 5: the media. Because of how we've been plainlately, I decided 697 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,360 Speaker 5: to join us on the road and they asked why, 698 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:48,440 Speaker 5: and he didn't give any. 699 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,279 Speaker 2: Reason unless you're going on the road to do a 700 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 2: little more intel on what Aaron Boone is doing as 701 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,759 Speaker 2: your manager. I mean, I'm shocked that Aaron Boone is 702 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 2: kept his job. I'm not for somebody being fired, but 703 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:07,360 Speaker 2: understanding that franchise, if George stein Renter was still alive, 704 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:13,799 Speaker 2: Aaron Boone would be gone and a while ago. But 705 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,839 Speaker 2: we got caught up in the Yankees, and you go, well, 706 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 2: are they still the Yankees? 707 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 3: No? 708 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,280 Speaker 2: Now, they started off well, you basically have two players 709 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 2: in the lineup that are really good, and then I mean, 710 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:34,400 Speaker 2: it's a poorly constructed lineup, so you're asking Judge and 711 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,399 Speaker 2: Soto to be even greater than what they already are. 712 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 2: When's the last time the Yankees were in the World 713 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 2: Series was at eight. 714 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,240 Speaker 3: Marvind and nine, two thousand and nine. 715 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 5: They're always in the playoffs. They've only missed the playoffs 716 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,480 Speaker 5: three times in the past twelve. 717 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 2: It's hard to miss the playoffs when you spend that 718 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 2: much money. In fact, you should be fired if you 719 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,439 Speaker 2: don't make the playoffs with that payroll. Yes, Martin. 720 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 9: Have the Dodgers become the Yankees as the preeminent team? Sure, 721 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 9: it's almost like Georgia Alabama. Georgia is now the top 722 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,720 Speaker 9: dog no pun intended in college football from what Alabama 723 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,240 Speaker 9: used to be. So I think it's the same correlation. 724 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 2: I've got the odds to win the college football championship 725 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:20,239 Speaker 2: and it's Georgia, followed closely by Ohio State, Texas, how 726 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 2: about this Oregon? How about that Alabama? Then following them 727 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:32,279 Speaker 2: a distant fifth there. Well, times have changed. Also, did 728 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 2: you see Georgia's offensive line? It averages I think six 729 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 2: seven three forty something like that. And I'll go back 730 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,920 Speaker 2: to a conversation that I've mentioned before with a now 731 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,919 Speaker 2: retired college coach and he would listen to the show 732 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,279 Speaker 2: and he said, oh, you keep talking about how everybody's 733 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:55,239 Speaker 2: going to get money nil and that offensive lineman are 734 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:56,200 Speaker 2: going to get nil. 735 00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 3: And he goes, what are we going to get in pizza? 736 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 2: And I said, coach, you win with your offensive and 737 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 2: defensive line. And then he stopped because he knows that's true. 738 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,239 Speaker 2: And this is a situation where if you look at 739 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 2: the success of Michigan and Washington and Georgia Alabama, what 740 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 2: do they all have in common. They've had really good 741 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,800 Speaker 2: offensive lines. Washington had a really good offensive line, Michigan 742 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,720 Speaker 2: always has a good offensive line, Georgia great offensive line. 743 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,440 Speaker 2: And then I even said to the coach, I said, 744 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,759 Speaker 2: if I had nil money, I'm going to give it 745 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,880 Speaker 2: to my offensive and defensive line because I'm starting there. 746 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,680 Speaker 2: I got my offensive and defensive lines for the next 747 00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:40,720 Speaker 2: three or four years. 748 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 3: That's where you win. So I love rubbing it in 749 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 3: his face. 750 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,839 Speaker 2: You know, when somebody says, oh, they're going to pay 751 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,240 Speaker 2: a million dollars for a defensive lineman, and I always 752 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 2: sometimes forward in an article to him, I go, hey, 753 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:54,480 Speaker 2: what do you think? 754 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:55,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, Paul. 755 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,440 Speaker 5: So, the Georgia recruiting class for the offensive line, the 756 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 5: two lightest guys are three five. The two happiest guys 757 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,080 Speaker 5: are three sixty five and three ninety one. 758 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,560 Speaker 2: Okay, twenty twenty three.
