WEBVTT - Hour 2 - Brooks Koepka (05-05-20) 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:06.360 Sports Radio. Welcome to the program Hour two Dan and 0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:08.360 the Dan n S Dan Patrick Show. We'll talk to 0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:11.280 the great golfer Brooks Kepka. He'll join us coming up 0:00:11.320 --> 0:00:13.520 a little bit. Mike Floyal from Pro Football Talk will 0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:15.800 join us a little bit later on as well. NFL 0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:19.959 schedule release will be Thursday night, and of course you 0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:24.400 need three hours to have a schedule release party, and 0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:26.320 you're going to milk it as long as you can. 0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:29.320 The NFL network and the Mother's Ship and rightfully so, 0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:32.519 you already know who your team is going to be playing. 0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:37.159 You're not sure when they're playing these oppositions, but you 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:40.680 know basically who you're playing. It's just a question of 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:43.159 when you're playing them, When is it home, when is 0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:45.000 it away. But you have an idea of what your 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:47.280 schedule is, and then you start to look at strength 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:50.640 of schedule. This is always misleading because you can look 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:54.480 back previous years and say, this team's got an easy schedule. 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:58.800 These teams have tough schedules. It all changes, it all 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:03.320 changes quickly. In the NFL. They're gonna be surprises, They're 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:05.360 gonna be teams where you go, I didn't see that coming, 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:07.600 and they're gonna be teams where you go, Boy, they're 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:09.520 not as good as we thought They were. Happens every 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:11.680 year and that's why when you look at strength of 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:18.959 schedule it's often misleading. I'm looking at an analytics writer 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:23.000 with the Mothership and points out that the Colts will 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:26.800 win the AFC South. Dallas is going to be a 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:29.319 good team, Denver is going to be a playoff team. 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:32.200 The Browns, I believe, are going to be a playoff 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:34.920 team as well. The Buccaneers a playoff team. So this 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:38.520 is just you know, people looking at the schedule and 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.400 then projecting on what they think will happen this season. 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:45.120 I mean, it's fun, but you know, there's nothing attached 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:48.040 to it. Like nobody loses their job if they're wrong 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:53.600 with their analytics here Denver, Denver's that's that's interesting, you know, 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:57.279 with Drew Locke, that's interesting. They got weapons they're trying 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:00.560 to replicate with the Kansas City Chiefs have, and the 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:04.559 question is their quarterback able to stand tall and take 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.800 that next step. The Colts winning the South, I'm not 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:11.760 surprised at all. I think that's a great organization. Philip 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.920 Rivers is not the ideal quarterback to come in for 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:18.560 a one and done here, but he's an upgrade over 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:24.320 Jacoby Brissette. The Browns better make the playoffs, and my Cowboys. 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:26.200 One of these years, I'm going to be right with 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.799 the Cowboys. It's like, for years I love the Chargers, 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.720 and then the year I said they have the most 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.840 talent of any team in the AFC, and then they 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.760 ended up losing to the Colts, and I went, or, no, 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:41.880 did they lose to the Colts that year? I forget? 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.160 But they ended up losing in the postseason in the 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:47.320 like second round, and I went, and there go my Chargers. 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.080 I think they lost. They came East, didn't they Paully? 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:53.520 They lost the Patriots? Patriots? All? Okay, okay, yeah, two 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:56.440 years ago your Chargers were twelve and four. They're cruising. Yeah. 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:58.400 I thought they were the most talented team, and then 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:00.440 all of a sudden, it's like, no, those are the Archers. 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:02.800 There are gonna be a couple of teams where you go, 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:04.880 and I'll be right with the Cowboys one of these 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:08.280 years where I go, They're they're as talent as anybody 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:12.000 in the NFC. Tampa Bay up there as well. That's good. 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:15.120 It's interesting, all right. Eight seven seven three D P 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:17.399 show email address, the DP at Dan Patrick dot com 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:19.800 twitter handle a TP show. I hope you got an 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:23.200 opportunity to listen to the Patrick Ewing Interview first hour, 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.079 and if you don't, you can you can hear all 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.920 the interviews from the Mercedes amg Man cave go to 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:32.200 the DP show app. But he was always a great mystery. 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:35.160 He was an enigma. You know, he kind of hid 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:38.440 behind that scowl with that game phase. He didn't share much. 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:42.560 And I certainly understand, you know, when he was growing 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.000 up and how he was treated when he played in 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:49.040 high school, and you know, he's a success story. But 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:53.600 he just has a great personality. He really does. And 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:57.400 I never knew it. Now I would stick a microphone 0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.960 in his face at some of these you know, meta 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:03.000 sessions or a press conference or that was about it. 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:07.640 But I remember, you'd always hear this. You know, there's 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:10.280 certain players or coaches, whether they'd say hey in private, 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.440 these Patriot players to say, oh, if you were around Belichick, man, 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:16.359 you would love him. He has a sense of humor. 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:18.960 And I go, okay, I'll never see that and I 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:21.960 was always told, Hey, Patrick's really a funny guy. And 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.359 I go Patrick Ewing, and Mark Jackson would tell me 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.000 that all the time. He goes, yeah, he don't. He 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:30.000 just doesn't want to show you. He doesn't want you 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:33.640 to know. And I went all right. And then when 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:35.720 I sat down with him that time in San Antonio 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.400 years ago, and I went, Mark's right, he's got a 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:42.520 great personality. One thing I did not know. And it 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.000 was painful for him to come on because he said 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.040 it yesterday when I called him when I got off 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:49.400 the show, and he said, I'll come on, but this 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:52.760 isn't enjoyable talking about Michael Jordan. We lived it, you 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.200 were entertained by it. We had to live it. And 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.039 so we talked a little bit about that. But what 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.760 came out of the interview that I did Stonewer was 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.440 somebody broke into his house and stole his gold medals. 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:08.440 This is years ago, so he had eighty four ninety 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:11.159 two and somebody had gotten you know, they stole his 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:17.600 Olympic gold medals. Now they got replacement medals for him. 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:21.400 Jerry Colangelo went out and asked the IOC if they 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:25.720 could have replacement medals, but still it's not the medals 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.159 that were put around his neck and poly and I 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:29.720 when I got through with the interview and I came 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.240 out on Polly's side, and he goes, man, I am angry. 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.520 Can I have your permission to find out who who 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.800 stole those medals? I said, you have my blessing, go 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.320 get him. I may go Liam Neeson on these guys, 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:44.159 I really want. This is truly upsetting to me, and 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:46.120 I don't get that upset about anything. How could you 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.440 take Patrick ewing gold medals? I think we should offer 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:52.279 a reward if you turn in the culprits, the thieves 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.720 that stole Patrick Ewing's medals. I'll pay for you to 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:57.840 fly out and see this show. I'll make you a 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.240 Dana for a day. Yeah, and I'll pay the plane 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:02.320 trip in the hotel. Yeah. Well we'll put you up. 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:04.760 We'll have a meat Friday, but we need to know 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.520 who stole Patrick Ewing's golden coach. Ewing will call in 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.159 on that day. Yeah, that would be a good show, 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.760 that would be done. That would be Yeah, you would 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:14.040 think that would be the least he could do if 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.320 we got his gold medals back. All you narcs out there. Yeah, 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:19.039 turn somebody. Yeah, if you ever wanted to turn somebody in, 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.120 now it's your chance. This is the right reason. Yes, 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.239 I would turn in my sister if she had Patrick 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:27.160 Ewing's medals. I'm not even kidding. What's the poll question today, McLevin? 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:29.280 Are we went with the greatest center pole. If you 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.520 could start a team with any center after nineteen eighty five, 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:34.800 who would it be? Shack is winning over a chim 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:38.920 Elijah On and Patrick Ewing And I get that, really, 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:41.040 I was surprised at it. I mean, I would take 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.960 elijh On. I would take Elijh one. But that's just 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:47.640 because I love his game. I love Shack, but I 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:51.920 loved Elijahan's game. When you have a big man who 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:56.320 who has like a smaller, like a point guard's ability 0:06:56.480 --> 0:07:00.719 with his footwork, I mean, playing soccer really help allij 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:03.000 you on and he could take you outside and hit 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.880 that you know, foul line, extended jumper and he was 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.920 just and he's a wonderful person too, not that that 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:12.720 factors in, but you know, I thought he got kind 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.280 of lost in the centers. He did win two titles, 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.520 and yes there's an asterisk by it if you want 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.680 to place it there because Mike was nair. I think 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:21.640 the Rockets would have went toe to toe and could 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.240 have beaten the Chicago Bulls. I don't look at this 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.920 as a foregone conclusion. You know, you have all of this, 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.480 and it's not revision his history because I think the 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.320 Rockets are a little sensitive to it. Then when people say, yoh, 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:35.800 those are the two years Jordan didn't play, Rockets were 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:40.680 great too, They truly were. Now we get this conversation 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:44.720 of how many points would Jordan average in today's NBA, 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:48.360 And I saw where Jalen Rose, who played against Mike, 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.800 said he'd average forty seven and a half. Now, I 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.320 think is that based off Mike average in thirty seven 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.480 and a half one year? I think that might have 0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:58.320 been the most he averaged in a single season. I 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:00.640 think it's thirty seven point one. But that season he 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.520 shot thirty seven. You can't really factor threes into it 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:05.840 because he didn't take threes. I mean he took about 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.560 a dozen threes that season. Well. No, The point is 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:11.800 Michael would have more access to get to the hoop 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.960 in today's game. He might not take as many threes 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:17.400 as you would expect. He would have if you think 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:20.280 James Harden goes to the line, Mike's going to the 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.600 line probably twelve to fifteen times a night. Now, I 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:25.960 don't know how long, how sustainable that's going to be. 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:28.600 But if you said Michael in today's NBA, how many 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:30.560 points is he going to average? First of all, they 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:33.720 give you the eighteen footer, fifteen to eighteen feet, they 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.400 give that to you. I mean, Durance made a career 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:39.560 out of fifteen to eighteen feet. Now you're giving that 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:43.160 to Michael. And I'm gonna get And there's no rim protectors. 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:47.319 I mean, who do you have, Clint Capella? Like, who's 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:51.080 your rim protector? There? One of the Lopez brothers. So 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:55.000 now I got I got Michael, who has free access. 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:57.640 He's got the hov lane to go to the hoop. 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:02.080 And if I say go out and score and nobody 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:06.080 you can nobody fouls. There's no hard fouls. Now Michael 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:09.200 would average probably And Phil Jackson said this a couple 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.520 of years ago when he was on the show. He 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:15.240 said he would average over forty a gang. Now I 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.160 could see that. I mean, that's not a big leap 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.800 Michael in his prime. If I said Mike in nineteen 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.320 ninety one. Go out there. Let's see what you do 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:26.520 for a season playing in today's rules. Can't put your 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:29.000 hand on him. Go back and watch the video. When 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:33.480 you watch the documentary, watch the physicality that was played 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.400 back then. In the nineties and the eighties, it was 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.880 just different basketball. Now. You can't put your hand on Mike, 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:43.120 and you're gonna give him a fifteen eighteen footer and 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.160 you're gonna let him go to the hoop and he's 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:48.040 gonna get foul an awful lot, and then you throw 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:52.080 in maybe you know, he adds more three pointers, three 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:57.200 point attempts. Mike's gonna average low forties. Probably, I don't. 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.400 And that's not a stretch at all. And that's not 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:02.000 one of those boy in my day I remember. It's 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.880 just I'm looking at the facts here of how Michael played. 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:09.880 Nobody guards Who's guarding Jordan? How can you guard Jordan? 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:13.600 I mean, Mario Ellie is not coming out of retirement 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:18.160 to guard Mike or Gerald Wilkins. Mike would average whatever 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:20.680 Mike wanted to average. Now, would he average fifty like 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:24.200 Wilt did? No, he would not just different back though 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:28.840 Mike would have to earn it. But being a great athlete. 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.680 I mean, that's what happens. You just get tired every 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:35.480 single night. Alan Iverson had to bring it and I 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.839 love that. The great scores have to bring it every 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.640 single night. And Mike brought it every single night. So 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:44.640 if he averaged forty two, forty three, absolutely, forty seven 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:48.080 and a half. Maybe not, but Mike could do what 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.040 he wanted to do, I think scoring once. Yeah, Seed, 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:52.840 it'd be interesting if Mike did play now though, and 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.000 he was actually a worse player because he took so 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:58.280 many threes. Yeah, I mean, like he was so good 0:10:58.280 --> 0:10:59.920 because he was always going to the hooper. He had 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.280 a mid range jumper. But imagine that just the freedom 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:04.640 to just keep firing up threes and then his percentage 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:06.720 went down and then he actually wasn't there, right, he 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:11.520 would be called air ball Jordan. Yeah, yeah, don't tell 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:16.640 Mike I said that, Oh, he'll be bad. Would he 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:18.600 want to be like James Harden and run the team 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:20.480 or we want to be a warrior and be like 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.320 part of a dream team, well a good team. Well, 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.880 it depends on if it's the early part of his 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:30.200 career he was James Harden and then he realized I 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:34.080 got to win championships. So knowing what he knows now, 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:39.920 he would. He could be a statistical anomaly or he could. 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.240 I don't think he's averaging forty four a game and 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.439 they're going to be winning championships. I think if he's 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:49.760 averaging thirty four a game, they're winning championships. Because he 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:53.040 would he would build a good team around him. I 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:55.600 think that would be important to Mike, knowing what he 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:58.280 knows now of what those championships did for his legacy, 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:01.400 then yes he would. I don't know if he would 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:04.320 go want to average forty four forty five a game. 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:07.440 He could do it, but I don't know if it 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.920 would be to the detriment of the team. Yeah, Ton, 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:13.160 When exactly did things change? Was it because of the 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:15.319 Bad Boys where now we've got these flagrant ones and 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:17.280 flagrant twos where they can beat the crap out of 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:19.000 each other in the eighties and nineties and now you 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:20.840 can't touch each other at all? Was there a specific 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:23.960 moment or a team Well, the Bad Boys didn't help, 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:28.199 the Knicks didn't help, and Cleveland Cavaliers didn't help. You 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:32.080 got Chuck Daily's team, you got pat Riley's team, and 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:35.760 Mike Fortello's teams. You know, they nearly the Knicks nearly 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:39.120 ruined basketball with that style. I mean, it's the brilliance 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.320 of pat Riley that he could have a different style 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:43.839 than show Time to what he had with Greco Roman 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:47.040 wrestling with the Knicks. But yeah, they allowed the physicality. 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:51.679 I never understood that. It's like hockey. I remember this 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:53.960 is years ago, talk kind of Wayne Gretzky, and I said, 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.280 how would you do in today's NHL? And he goes, 0:12:56.360 --> 0:13:01.040 I would struggle to get fifty goals in a season. Now, Wayne, 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:05.640 of course, you know he would not play up his 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.320 abilities and he would probably do better than that. But 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:12.000 he said, they don't. The rules don't allow for the 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:14.280 great players to be great. You know, there's no free 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:18.160 flowing movement there. And he said, you know that hurts 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.640 hockey because you'll watch and you'll go, I don't know 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.400 who's great because we don't allow them to be great. 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.640 We allow people who have lesser ability to be able 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:30.800 to dictate the style of the sport. And I'm paraphrasing him, 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.240 but basketball was the same way. All of a sudden, 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:38.160 Anthony Mason is going to have an impact. These physical guys, 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.040 And that's not what basketball, that's not how basketball was 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.480 meant to be played. Yeah, point the byproduct, and you 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:45.280 talked about this a long time ago, Dan on the show, 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:47.120 is that scoring went down in the NBA and that 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:50.120 really hurt with fans. Eighty six eighty seven season, the 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:53.160 average NBA team scored one hundred and ten points exactly 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:56.080 per game. A decade later it was ninety one point six. 0:13:56.400 --> 0:14:00.360 It went from one ten ninety one in twelve years. 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:03.160 And then if you go back to last year, one 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:06.520 hundred eleven points per game is the average NBA team scores. 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:09.840 That's the most in thirty five years. They're just more freedom. 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:12.320 You're spreading the floor. And if I spread the floor 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:17.200 to allow Jordan to dine, it's not fairer. It wouldn't 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:19.120 be fairer that if you spread the floor and then 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:21.000 you gave Michael the ball at the top of the key, 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.960 and you don't have a shock down there, you don't 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:25.760 have a ewing down I mean like you don't have 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.920 a menacing big man down there. He's just going he's 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:30.600 going to take it and take it and take it 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:33.280 and take it. Yeah, we talked about the Steph Curry 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:36.320 effect four years ago and Steph was the MVP the 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:39.560 fifteen sixteen season. NBA teams average one hundred and two 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:41.560 points per game. Now it's up to one hundred and eleven. 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.920 That's only four years ago. I mean, it's commonplace to 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:47.640 have games that are in the one twenties. There were 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:49.920 times when I remember doing highlights and it would be 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:53.200 ninety to eighty six and you'd be like, God, this 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:57.760 is bad basketball. It was. It was just it was 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.800 just two big heavyweights leaning on each other, and it 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:04.600 wasn't It wasn't fluid. It wasn't good basketball. Yeah, mcclem, 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:06.400 what if he did like Harden? It did all the 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:08.720 flopping around the three point line though, and he shot 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:10.960 twenty seven free throws a game, that would be terrible. 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.240 You know how Harden just stands up there and gets 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:16.120 the foul. I don't remember Michael flailing, you know, when 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:19.040 you think about it, I don't remember him. I think 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:23.000 when he got contact, it was real contact. There'd be 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:24.800 times when guys would drive down the lane, you know, 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.440 the stars, and then you just here and one and 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:29.920 I'd go who and guys would look around and go, 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:31.760 who's the foul on and then it looked like the 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:33.680 official was just saying, hey, sorry, I gotta, I gotta 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:36.280 give you a foul here. I didn't I know, but 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.480 that's Michael Jordan, That's that's Larry Burr. I'm sorry, I gotta, 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:42.600 I gotta give you a foul here. Yeah, just to 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:47.240 put it in perspective, three points attempted per game per team? 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:49.440 So like, how many times it team attempts a three 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.560 per game? When Michael Jordan was a rookie, team's average 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.320 three point one attempts per game? What do you think 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:59.040 it was last year? Three point three point per teams? Yeah, 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:01.400 So like the average team goes out, the average team, 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.480 not the Rockets, the average team attempts how many three 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:07.440 per game? Again, thirty years ago it was three. I'm 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:10.480 gonna go twenty three. You're way low. It's thirty four 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:14.320 attempts per game for each team. Yes, wow, And it's 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:16.320 going up and up and up. Four years ago it 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.680 was twenty four. Now it's thirty four. Eventually it will change. 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:26.520 Eventually it will change. It will somebody will have a 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:30.920 different philosophy. I still maintain that one day somebody's gonna say, hey, 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:33.600 you know what deal with our our big men. You know, 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:37.480 we're gonna we're gonna dominate here, and then then you're 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:39.240 gonna have to play defense. Then you have to put 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:42.160 bigger players on the floor. Like it. It's it's gonna 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:46.600 something will change it. Does you know all these sports, Hey, 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:48.920 I've figured it out, and then somebody figures it out. 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:51.560 It's a game of chess, and then they figured it out. 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:54.480 Now you change it. I don't know if we continue 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:59.120 to do basketball three point shooting basketball like this in 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:01.800 ten years from now and we look back, I might go, man, 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:04.879 I was fool, But I think you're going to have 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:07.639 a team that will be counterintuitive to what you know 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:10.480 the game plan is, and that might change basketball. Another 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:13.600 player might change basketball because of that, just like Steph 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:16.560 Curry did. Yeah point. Another interesting stat, three point shooting 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:20.200 percentage has not changed in thirty years. It's always anywhere 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:24.040 from thirty three to thirty five percent by team is 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:26.439 thirty five twenty five years ago with thirty five percent, 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:29.200 it's still thirty five percent. I find that really interesting 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:32.960 because we think we have better shooters now, we have 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:39.040 more shooters, more three pointers attempted, not necessarily better shooters, 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:42.360 just the volume there, we'll take a break.

Yeah, you can get overserved a 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:34.440 little bit too much and then then it's not very 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:37.920 good and then the game goes to crap.
