Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour on this Monday Dana, The Dana
Speaker 1: Stan Patrick Show. More of your phone calls, best and
Speaker 1: worst of the weekend, which you saw that you liked
Speaker 1: you didn't like. Say good morning to our radio partners, iHeartRadio,
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio lineup numbering nearly four hundred cities around America.
Speaker 1: Also our TV partner Peacock streaming service. Download the app.
Speaker 1: You can watch for free all three hours. Reggie Miller
Speaker 1: will join us coming up in about fifteen minutes from now.
Speaker 1: There are a couple of ways you could look at
Speaker 1: the Preakness results from this weekend. The fact that the
Speaker 1: disqualified Kentucky Derby winner Medina's Spirit lost to Rombauer could
Speaker 1: be a good thing or a bad thing, because well,
Speaker 1: maybe the good part is we won't be talking about
Speaker 1: cheating and horse racing anymore. If Medina's Spirit had won,
Speaker 1: his failed drug test at Churchill Downs would still be
Speaker 1: front news, front page news. And the negative side, there
Speaker 1: won't be a lot of buzz around the Belmont Stakes
Speaker 1: June fifth. And even though Medina's Spirits Derby win was nullified,
Speaker 1: winning the Preakness would have made a statement Bob Bafford's
Speaker 1: horse was leading through most of the race, but for
Speaker 1: the first time in his career, passed down the stretch.
Speaker 1: So we're left with more questions than answers. Did Bob
Speaker 1: Bafford cheat or did he make a mistake? Do the
Speaker 1: rules governing the sport makes sense? Is that what we're
Speaker 1: seeing on the track? Is it real? Tough questions that
Speaker 1: will come up again next spring when the racing world
Speaker 1: returns to Churchill Downs. But will Bob Bafford be allowed
Speaker 1: to return to Churchill Downs? Full question? McLevin, give us
Speaker 1: the results. Okay, our one was whose career would you
Speaker 1: want Chris Webber or Robert or actually sixty five percent
Speaker 1: or believe it or not that we switched it up
Speaker 1: to the debate we were having, who would you start
Speaker 1: a team with Tim Duncan or Kobe Bryant. It's pretty
Speaker 1: close fifty four percent Tim Duncan. Okay, I'm surprised. If
Speaker 1: it was today's NBA, then I take Kobe. But if
Speaker 1: i'm you know, you also have to factor in the
Speaker 1: magnetism of Kobe that he is going to bring people out.
Speaker 1: You're going to see something that maybe you haven't seen
Speaker 1: and if you have seen it, it was probably by
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. Tim Duncan is just going to be consistent
Speaker 1: throughout the regular season and the postseason and five titles.
Speaker 1: He was the MVP and three of those championship runs.
Speaker 1: Great offense, great defense, just no highlights. Just that was
Speaker 1: But that's who Tim Duncan is. There wasn't anything about
Speaker 1: his personality, anything about his play that you went wow
Speaker 1: until this weekend. I think that's why people are surprised
Speaker 1: at his speech, or they were pleasantly surprised because we
Speaker 1: don't hear Tim speak. Tim doesn't care. Tim would talk
Speaker 1: to me during the finals, or he talked to the
Speaker 1: media after the game. He'd come in but he had
Speaker 1: to although he didn't have to commendo ESPN, but he
Speaker 1: did come in. We had a friendship and uh, but
Speaker 1: he's not He's not a you know, touchy feely let's
Speaker 1: stay in touch. He's just not that guy. But he
Speaker 1: had a heartfelt speech. There are a lot of great speeches.
Speaker 1: Certainly what Vanessa Bryant was able to do, which I
Speaker 1: don't know how you have that strength and resolved to
Speaker 1: do that and do it on that stage, even at
Speaker 1: the memorial for Kobe, and she got up there and
Speaker 1: spoke and I went, I just can't imagine. I can't
Speaker 1: imagine being that strong, and she was and she was
Speaker 1: this past weekend, and it was a great moment. But
Speaker 1: it could have been a greater moment if Kobe was
Speaker 1: there to give that speech, just because he would have probably,
Speaker 1: you know, taken names. He would have given some grief
Speaker 1: to Kevin Garnett, he would have given some grief to
Speaker 1: Tim Duncan, anybody in the room. He probably would have,
Speaker 1: you know, taken a shot at. But we obviously didn't
Speaker 1: get that. The play in tournament is set, the playing games,
Speaker 1: and of course the marquee matchup will be the Warriors
Speaker 1: and the Lakers. Steph went for forty six points against
Speaker 1: the Grizzlies yesterday. That's the eleventh forty point performance of
Speaker 1: the season, most in the NBA. And Lebron James I
Speaker 1: always talk about his basketball IQ. He finally came around
Speaker 1: to understanding my basketball IQ when it comes to the MVP.
Speaker 1: You know, we just got to play to the best
Speaker 1: of our ability. We gotta play Lakers basketball. We got
Speaker 1: to defend at a high rate. You know, we're playing
Speaker 1: verse in my in my opinion, the MVP of our
Speaker 1: league this year and Steph so um, you know, we
Speaker 1: gotta be, you know, prepared for everything that they have.
Speaker 1: They got championship DNA as well. You know, they know
Speaker 1: what it takes and what it feels like to be
Speaker 1: in pressure game. So you know, we gotta be ready
Speaker 1: for that opportunity and that for that pressure. Now, maybe
Speaker 1: if he's playing Denver, he would have said the Jokers
Speaker 1: the MVP. Maybe, but you're playing Steph Curry. Hey, you
Speaker 1: know what, let's curry some favor there. Ah, yeah, Todd,
Speaker 1: I'll give you that, right, all right, nothing yours's no, No,
Speaker 1: you don't give me, I tell you, Yeah, you're not
Speaker 1: giving me anything. Yes, you must be joking about the MVP.
Speaker 1: I expected a crappy one from the back row. I
Speaker 1: just thought it would be from Todd Age seven seven
Speaker 1: three d P Show email address DP of Dan Patrick
Speaker 1: dot com, Twitter handle at DPS show. So Reggie will
Speaker 1: join us coming up, Jeff and Texas Best and Worst
Speaker 1: of the weekend? Hi, Jeff, what's on your mind today? Morning? Dan?
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, first and foremost, you guys are
Speaker 1: the best. Absolutely love the show. My best is the
Speaker 1: NFL schedule came out, or he got my tickets to
Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving game my Raiders versus the Cowboys. I think
Speaker 1: the Raiders have a breakout season this year. I think
Speaker 1: the worst is that Steph not getting MVP. He's not
Speaker 1: going to get it. Now. If you see all the
Speaker 1: accolades that he did this year, he broke Wilt Chamberlain's record.
Speaker 1: He probably set the record for most games with ten
Speaker 1: plus three pointers. What does Jeff you know, put up
Speaker 1: some good numbers? Yeah? Are you taking a back now? Sorry, buddy,
Speaker 1: I'm cleaning pools. Oh okay, okay. How long does it
Speaker 1: take to clean a pool? Uh? Anywhere from thirty minutes
Speaker 1: to an hour. What's the what's the best story you
Speaker 1: have about cleaning pools? Well, I've only been doing it
Speaker 1: for abody year, but just all the insects and snakes
Speaker 1: and scorpions and spiders that you find in the pool,
Speaker 1: and the skimmers and stuff like that. Have you ever
Speaker 1: jumped in a pool on a hot day when you
Speaker 1: know the owners of the home art there? I have not,
Speaker 1: but I planned to this summer because I'm in Texas
Speaker 1: and it gets real hot, so it will be all right, well,
Speaker 1: thank you Jeff. That's Jeff from Texas Clean Pools. You
Speaker 1: know seton is that frowned upon in the pool industry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like you can't just jump in somebody's pool. No, no, no, well,
Speaker 1: I mean you're cleaning it. Couldn't you be like, oh sorry,
Speaker 1: I just I had to get in over here some
Speaker 1: there was some grime down here in the center. I
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure I got and then you're just
Speaker 1: take a quick little dip or you just sound like
Speaker 1: you fell in. Oh yes, yeah, you're in like Phoenix, Arizona.
Speaker 1: It's one hundred and eighteen. You jump in fully clothes,
Speaker 1: takes an accent. Checking the old pH levels before we
Speaker 1: clean this bad boy. This is for your safety. Five.
Speaker 1: I thought I would chest the pH level on my skin,
Speaker 1: just so you you know when your kids got in, Like,
Speaker 1: this is full service, type of hands on service we
Speaker 1: deliver here. What if they come around the bend though
Speaker 1: you're one of those chairs with the drinking and the
Speaker 1: hose is doing all the work checking the salt content
Speaker 1: here floatability. I did come back from a road trip
Speaker 1: one time and somebody who was watching the house, uh,
Speaker 1: well they weren't supposed to be watching the house, but
Speaker 1: they were at the house. And I got home a
Speaker 1: day early and my family was gone, and uh, I
Speaker 1: came in through the back yard area and there was
Speaker 1: a woman there in her bathing suit, sitting there having
Speaker 1: a beer, and uh, he said hey, and she goes, oh, hey,
Speaker 1: like I'm I'm the visitor. I'm like, I'm the neighbor
Speaker 1: and uh so she was. She's just having a beer
Speaker 1: sitting pool side. Sounds nice, sounds like a lovely afternoon. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then she got up and had her talent and
Speaker 1: then she went and uh changed clothes and then she left.
Speaker 1: Is this a person your No, from the night, I
Speaker 1: know her, She's not in the neighborhood. But but she she,
Speaker 1: you know, did some cleaning at the house. Is a
Speaker 1: story end there. Yeah, Well she didn't clean the house
Speaker 1: after that, but but she did. You know, she would
Speaker 1: clean the house like once every week or you guys
Speaker 1: are out of town. Yes, she did, yes, and she
Speaker 1: uh she she took a dip. It's gonna be warm today.
Speaker 1: Can we all go swimming at your house? Yes, let's
Speaker 1: do that. Yeah that sounds like naked whoa, I mean what? Uh?
Speaker 1: There was a time when my brother in law was
Speaker 1: staying at the house watching the house while we were gone.
Speaker 1: Somebody like a group of kids came in and started swimming,
Speaker 1: like at eleven o'clock at night, and so my brother
Speaker 1: in law went down and went, h what are you doing?
Speaker 1: And they said, oh, uh. Dan's son said it was okay,
Speaker 1: there you go. That's that's the move. I've been there.
Speaker 1: Very believable too. It is believable, but I will my
Speaker 1: son said that he did not give these people the
Speaker 1: authorization got copter. That still one of those moments where
Speaker 1: I came home from work and my wife goes look outside,
Speaker 1: and look outside, and my son is there at the
Speaker 1: pool and he's in a lounge chair having a drink
Speaker 1: and there's got to be eight, you know, girls around him.
Speaker 1: And he's probably fifteen now. He's not having an alcoholic
Speaker 1: during he's having whatever soda, and yet they're like eight
Speaker 1: girls out there at the pool. And I went, yead,
Speaker 1: I want to grow up to be just like him.
Speaker 1: I do. Oh, he's got a great life. A couple
Speaker 1: of things with the schedule. I noticed the Pittsburgh Steelers, McLevin,
Speaker 1: aren't you big? On the Pittsburgh Steelers their schedule. Okay, Pittsburgh, boy,
Speaker 1: they got it tough, though. Do you realize that in
Speaker 1: the final four weeks they've got Tennessee at Kansas City,
Speaker 1: Cleveland at Baltimore. It's gonna be I mean, Ben is
Speaker 1: gonna have to be great at the end of the season.
Speaker 1: Here was the other story about why the Patriots and
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers are playing Week four. Peter King had this.
Speaker 1: The NFL thought, Okay, we want to make sure the
Speaker 1: weather is not an issue. They're not fighting for division race,
Speaker 1: playoff implications, less likely to have an injury four weeks
Speaker 1: into the regular season. That's what they wanted to do.
Speaker 1: They want to make sure Brady is there, everybody's playing,
Speaker 1: and getting it in early made the most sense. They
Speaker 1: wanted to be able to tell that story in full
Speaker 1: earlier in the season. I did mention Tom Silverstein, and
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel writes the Packers are requiring a
Speaker 1: trade partner to send a quarterback back to Green Bay
Speaker 1: if they trade Aaron Rodgers. I don't know where this
Speaker 1: is coming from, but I mean, the Broncos have Drew
Speaker 1: Locke and Teddy Bridgewater. That ain't leading you to a Championship.
Speaker 1: You know, the Raiders to me make more sense if
Speaker 1: you say Bronchos or the Raiders. At least I'm going
Speaker 1: to get Derek Carr and he's got his salary. It's
Speaker 1: acceptable through twenty twenty two, they're gonna trade. If they
Speaker 1: trade Rogers, they trade him to the AFC. You could
Speaker 1: check all the boxes there. Yes, mclovin. Should they have
Speaker 1: maybe considered that San Francisco forty nine ers offer, which
Speaker 1: would have been the number three pick, maybe throwing Jimmy
Speaker 1: Garoppolo as that veteran quarterback. You know, it seemed like
Speaker 1: John Lynch said, like they immediately turned them down. Maybe
Speaker 1: they'll never do better than that. No, I wouldn't have
Speaker 1: done it for that. I would have done it before
Speaker 1: they made the trade with the Miami Dolphins because I
Speaker 1: can still get Garoppolo. I get those draft picks, and
Speaker 1: then if you want to trade Aaron Rodgers, that made
Speaker 1: more sense. And you know, the number three Garoppolo, Okay,
Speaker 1: what are you doing with three? Like you're not taking
Speaker 1: a quarterback? Are you taking Kyle Pitts? Okay? I got
Speaker 1: Garoppolo and I got Kyle Pitts. I'd rather have if
Speaker 1: you want to give me Garoppolo and then I get
Speaker 1: three first round picks, then that makes more sense if
Speaker 1: I'm giving up Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, mclub. Yeah, you could
Speaker 1: probably get like a DeVante Smith. I know he went ten,
Speaker 1: but you could have gotten a big star receiver. And
Speaker 1: if you'd say to twelve, I think San Francisco was
Speaker 1: originally at twelve. Yeah, you would have gotten fit your
Speaker 1: need already. Yeah, but maybe I guess San Francisco didn't
Speaker 1: know Rogers with maybe available, then they didn't call it
Speaker 1: for well. No, if the Rams knew in January, then
Speaker 1: how do the Niners not know? I think it was known,
Speaker 1: It just wasn't It wasn't public. I think privately it
Speaker 1: was known. Hey, he's unhappy even all you have to do
Speaker 1: do is see that press conference and go man. Guy
Speaker 1: didn't seem like he knows what his future is. Hey,
Speaker 1: let's place a call. I mean the Rams did, so
Speaker 1: why wouldn't the Niners do it? Yeah, Paul, the other
Speaker 1: trade is possible. It's a long way up. With Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 1: I was looking at the odds that the Texans are
Speaker 1: expected to be awful. There's now a lot of reasons
Speaker 1: to trade him if he somehow is cleared or settled
Speaker 1: or whatever. And in the clear air quotes, why not
Speaker 1: he's expensive and disgruntled and oh yeah you want to
Speaker 1: move on? Yeah, I don't. We're a good offer, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: you might not have the offer heads four months ago. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: let me get to Kyle in California. Then we'll take
Speaker 1: a break for Reggie Miller. Hey, Kyle, what's going on
Speaker 1: D two with that? Boys? So DP, I mean, you're
Speaker 1: a basketball history and you were there for it all?
Speaker 1: Is it the Tim Duncan Kobe KG? What if KG
Speaker 1: got drafted by the Spurs and Tim Duncan went to
Speaker 1: the Wolves, who have been one of the worst franchises
Speaker 1: for twenty plus years. And I'm with you on you
Speaker 1: want Kobe the player. But I mean, I know we're
Speaker 1: looking back at on Roses and I'm going to get
Speaker 1: struck down by Laker gods for saying this. But Kobe
Speaker 1: did a lot of damage. He wanted out, he was
Speaker 1: going to the Clippers and to two thousand and four Finals.
Speaker 1: He was absolutely terrible. I mean, you know, Kobe. I
Speaker 1: know we look back on it with Roses, but in
Speaker 1: the moment, I mean, look back at the numbers. Tim
Speaker 1: Duncan better All Timer than Kobe. I can't believe my
Speaker 1: childhood self is crying right now. Well, Kobe also wanted
Speaker 1: to go to the bulls too, like there. I remember
Speaker 1: that was two thousand and seven and we started the
Speaker 1: show with Kobe talking about, you know, going to the
Speaker 1: going to the bulls. Yeah, Pole, do you remember what
Speaker 1: the main cog in that trade was for the bulls
Speaker 1: that held up that trade? Reportedly this is October seven.
Speaker 1: The bulls didn't want to give up Ben Gordon was
Speaker 1: the rumor that was going around, and the trade had
Speaker 1: it was a big package of picks and players, and
Speaker 1: one of the sticking points was the bear. The bulls
Speaker 1: they want to give up Ben Gordon for Kobe. Let's
Speaker 1: take a break here. Reggie Miller will join us. Coming
Speaker 1: up next seventeen after the hour. This is the Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show. I love helping you. That's why when we
Speaker 1: have these partners, you know that you know when they say, hey,
Speaker 1: tell your audience about US American financing. You can get
Speaker 1: a free mortgage review and you're one step closer to
Speaker 1: making monthly savings that could be a thousand dollars a
Speaker 1: month and I don't know if you've considered a mortgage
Speaker 1: refinance yet, but it's a free loan review and interest
Speaker 1: rates are still at all time lows, so a mortgage
Speaker 1: consultant can walk you through the lower rate options, shorter terms,
Speaker 1: even debt consolidation, and you get to choose the loan
Speaker 1: that's right for you. And it could mean up to
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars in monthly savings. It's pretty good. Think
Speaker 1: of what you can do with that kind of money.

Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, Turner Sports NBA analyst a lot to
Speaker 1: get to REGGI let me hit you with the early
Speaker 1: poll question that we have mclove and you want to
Speaker 1: give Regg the first hour and pull question, first pol question,
Speaker 1: whose career would you rather have? Robert or or Chris Webber? Wow? Uh,
Speaker 1: well that is a tough one. That's a great question.
Speaker 1: I guess seven championships kind of trumps everything, right, is it?
Speaker 1: Seven or six? Seven championship? A lot of big shots
Speaker 1: for Robert Ory, But think about the culture change Chris
Speaker 1: Forebber was a part of being part of the Fab
Speaker 1: five in Michigan because you're encompassing the whole career, right,
Speaker 1: not just NBA. Yeah, Yeah, I like C Webb's career.
Speaker 1: Obviously he didn't doesn't have a championship to back it up,
Speaker 1: but a hell of a career for C Webb. You
Speaker 1: could not go wrong with either or Um, but seven
Speaker 1: championships ring, that's hard to turn down. That's hard. Would
Speaker 1: you rather have Robert Ory's career? Or yours taking mine? Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm just I'm taking I know I don't
Speaker 1: have any chips to show for it, but it was
Speaker 1: all about the struggle for me, all about the struggle
Speaker 1: to win one. And I will never change my career
Speaker 1: for anyone's because that's to me, that's what it was
Speaker 1: all about. Now. Is Robert or a Hall of Famer? Yes,
Speaker 1: I really do believe so. And if you think about it,
Speaker 1: you could take away a chip from Tim Duncan, and
Speaker 1: you probably could take a chip away from Kobe if
Speaker 1: it wasn't for the fact of big shots by Robert Or.
Speaker 1: I do believe he's a Hall of Famer. And if
Speaker 1: you look at some of the guys that are currently
Speaker 1: getting in that don't have gaudy numbers. I mean, Ben
Speaker 1: Wallace was a great defender, but he doesn't have gaudy numbers.
Speaker 1: Ben Wallace is going in this year to Coombe Mutumbo,
Speaker 1: great defensive player, defensive Player of the Year, but not
Speaker 1: gaudy numbers in the Hall of Fame. Robert Ory should
Speaker 1: be in the Hall of Fame. Yeah. Uh. I as
Speaker 1: much as I like Ben, I don't think he's a
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. Ben Wallace. I think he was a
Speaker 1: really good player. He was a key player for you know,
Speaker 1: some good teams. But um, I just don't say it's
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. No, no, I do. I don't
Speaker 1: like Chris Bosh was a wonderful player in Toronto. He
Speaker 1: was the third person in Miami. I know, health issues,
Speaker 1: but he was second team All NBA one time. And
Speaker 1: that's it. Like I I don't. I don't know how
Speaker 1: we judge. And maybe my bar is too high here, Regie,
Speaker 1: you know when it comes to the Hall of Fame,
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I don't. I don't want to
Speaker 1: apologize for being kind of tough on you know, the requirements.
Speaker 1: I don't want to demean Ben Wallace. You know, Dick Kembay,
Speaker 1: you want to put him a Hall of Fame. You
Speaker 1: want to put Ben in there, Boston. I mean, that's fine.
Speaker 1: I guess I just trying to understand the criteria here.
Speaker 1: I think the criteria you're thinking about is in terms
Speaker 1: of other Hall of Fames, because it's very difficult to
Speaker 1: get into Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame, very tough
Speaker 1: to get into the NFL. I think the NBA criteria
Speaker 1: of getting in is not as high, and I think
Speaker 1: they do encompass a person's body of work going back
Speaker 1: to college too. So I think when I look at
Speaker 1: Ben Wallace's career, again not gaudy numbers, but was on
Speaker 1: great teams, championship teams in Detroit. He was the head
Speaker 1: of the snake defensively for that team. He was a
Speaker 1: couple of times defensive Player of the Year. I believe
Speaker 1: I think he deserves now. Again, I've gone against these
Speaker 1: guys head to head, so I'm a little biased because
Speaker 1: I've seen their body of work up close. But it's
Speaker 1: Derek Fisher Hall of Famer. No got You've got five titles,
Speaker 1: five titles. He's played in more playoff games in anybody
Speaker 1: in NBA history. He's he's got three thousand, twenty five
Speaker 1: hundred more points than Robert or he does made some
Speaker 1: big shots. Yes, So I don't know. I just throw
Speaker 1: that out there. Throw that out there. Steve Kerr is
Speaker 1: going into the Hall of Fame, isn't he? Well, why
Speaker 1: he's got a coach and player He's got so he's
Speaker 1: got eight grades. Yeah, I think so, right, five and
Speaker 1: five as a player, three as a coach. He's he's
Speaker 1: going in as a Hall of Famer combination coach. He's
Speaker 1: going into the Hall of Famer as a coach. Yeah,
Speaker 1: as a coach, he'll going in his Hall of Famer.
Speaker 1: He probably won't go in as a player, but they
Speaker 1: just they would just say Steve Kerr Hall of Famer,
Speaker 1: but they would designate him as a coach going into that.
Speaker 1: I think he will go in. I think he'll go
Speaker 1: in as a coach, but he's still a Hall of
Speaker 1: Famer rather. You're a coach, yeah, player, Oh yeah, Hey,
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. Oh I know, okay, I know
Speaker 1: you're a Hall of Famer. Yeah, I know. If you
Speaker 1: could start your team with Kobe Duncan, KG, what era,
Speaker 1: what rules? Nineteen ninety five, Tim Duncan, Okay, I said
Speaker 1: the same thing twenty fifteen, Kobe Bryant. Yeah, so I
Speaker 1: said too. Kobe would learn to well, yes, he's student
Speaker 1: of the game. He's going to learn to be great
Speaker 1: in today's NBA. Would he be a volume three point
Speaker 1: shooter Kobe? Yeah, it was a great I thought he
Speaker 1: was a great shooter anyways, but yeah, he would be
Speaker 1: a volume You'd be a volume scorer. Because I don't
Speaker 1: want to label him as a shooter because Kobe can
Speaker 1: give you buckets, so he would be a volume scorer
Speaker 1: as very much as he was throughout his career. Better
Speaker 1: in game dunker Kobe or Jordan Jordan? Man, I looked
Speaker 1: at him lights and Kobe. Yeah, I would say that
Speaker 1: Kobe was probably more artistic because he had the great
Speaker 1: reverse dunks that Jordan never had. Um, but Jordan needs
Speaker 1: to embarrass you on some of them dunks. To me,
Speaker 1: the all time classic Jordan dunk is the one against
Speaker 1: the Knicks in the Garden when he's going baseline, fakes
Speaker 1: the other way and then continues to go baseline and
Speaker 1: just pipes on. I don't know if that's Patrick or
Speaker 1: I don't know who. It looked like all of the
Speaker 1: New York Knicks. That's probably my best dunk ever of
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. Did Jordan ever get you? Well, I was
Speaker 1: guarding him, so I let keep blue body into the
Speaker 1: David's boys and Rick Smith, so I was never under
Speaker 1: their waiting for him. So I got the wrath of
Speaker 1: it from Yale and Antonio like Rich keep him in
Speaker 1: front of you. I'm like I'm sitting them to help
Speaker 1: see you never got postrized because you weren't the guy
Speaker 1: who was going up to try to block right, Absolutely not.
Speaker 1: I was smart enough. That's their job is to protect
Speaker 1: the rim, not mine. Did you postrize anybody with a dunk?
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's someone I got you. There has to
Speaker 1: be someone you should remember. You should remember, like a
Speaker 1: two hander down the lane against the Knicks. Yes, Mick
Speaker 1: Levin seton look it up against the Knicks in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: I did. I got Charles Oakley and Charles Smith. I did.
Speaker 1: I got them in the playoffs. They must hold up
Speaker 1: hold Yes, I did. Against the Nets, the New Jersey Nets,
Speaker 1: in the overtime game my last year or second to
Speaker 1: last year, that sent the game to overtime. I dunked
Speaker 1: on the whole Nets team. It's the most famous dunk
Speaker 1: of mine, Everest my last dunk. Actually yeah, PAULI yeah,
Speaker 1: he dunked right in the Kamart's mug. Kenyan Martin was yes.
Speaker 1: Do you think that they They had to be so surprised.
Speaker 1: They're like this, this dude ain't jumping, like like Carrie Kittles,
Speaker 1: who's going this guy can't jump? Hold up. I was
Speaker 1: just as surprise. I didn't believe I was up that high.
Speaker 1: Believe you should. You should see Jason Kidd's face. He's like,
Speaker 1: what what did Redgies do? Hey? I will tell you this.
Speaker 1: When I started to go up, I heard the theme,
Speaker 1: I heard the theme music. I believe, I believe in
Speaker 1: touch this guy. I'm telling you, you're holding onto the rim.
Speaker 1: You've never been up that high before. And what's funny
Speaker 1: about that. Mark Jackson was at the game just to
Speaker 1: come watch us play. And I remember after the dunk
Speaker 1: and the time out, and I'm walking back to the
Speaker 1: bench and his seats were kind of behind our bench,
Speaker 1: and I'm walking and he's just shaking his head. I'm
Speaker 1: giving them one of these looks like you remember that.
Speaker 1: It was hilarious. Reggie Miller, the Hall of Famer, How
Speaker 1: concerned would you be if you're the Lakers with Steph
Speaker 1: Curry here? That is a nuclear bomb that can go
Speaker 1: off at any time? Um. Look the let's face it,
Speaker 1: the Lakers are the better team, They're the bigger team. UM.
Speaker 1: Championship experience, but so do Golden State Warriors. But Steph Curry,
Speaker 1: the way he has played all season and especially the
Speaker 1: last two months, he can explode in a one game
Speaker 1: series if he gets hot. Look, I will say this
Speaker 1: for the Lakers, they have a lot of wing defenders
Speaker 1: that they're gonna throw at him. Dennis shrewder Um, Contavious Caldwell,
Speaker 1: Pope Crusoe will get some time on them. And if
Speaker 1: need be Lebron James. If it's you know, last possession
Speaker 1: of the possible game, so it's the Lakers to lose,
Speaker 1: they should win it. But Steph scares me. The Lakers
Speaker 1: do well against Steph. And there are two teams that
Speaker 1: seem to do well, Clippers and Lakers do well. They
Speaker 1: have length, and I think, you know, I'm gonna let whoever,
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna pick somebody if that guy gets
Speaker 1: thirty thirty five final, I can't let Steph have you know,
Speaker 1: over thirty five. I just I can't. And then if
Speaker 1: it's the other guys who beat us, you know, okay,
Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna I'm gonna make sure Steph has
Speaker 1: to give the ball up a little bit. And you know,
Speaker 1: for the Lakers too, When Anthony Davis was in the
Speaker 1: New Orleans he used to dominate Golden State during the playoffs,
Speaker 1: and I just don't think they have a matchup form
Speaker 1: as great as Draym. Green is. He is giving up
Speaker 1: six or seven inches and a lot of length going
Speaker 1: against a D, so a D should have a field
Speaker 1: day versus Golden State. But I just don't think they
Speaker 1: have enough scoring unless Wiggins reverts back and gives them
Speaker 1: twenty five or thirty. Jordan Fool has played great coming
Speaker 1: off the bench for them, had a career high believe
Speaker 1: thirty eight a few games ago. I just don't think
Speaker 1: they can generate enough scoring against the number one rated
Speaker 1: defensive team in the Lakers. But looking at the Lakers,
Speaker 1: it feels like if you don't get them early, then
Speaker 1: you're in trouble, because I think once they get back
Speaker 1: into the rhythm here then they're gonna be less vulnerable here.
Speaker 1: Do you feel that way or do you think the
Speaker 1: health of Lebron and Anthony Davis are going to be
Speaker 1: sort of a cloud hanging over this team, you know,
Speaker 1: the entire postseason. I think it's always going to be
Speaker 1: a question mark. We just saw within the last five
Speaker 1: minutes that Pelicans game a little bit of a tweak
Speaker 1: to the ankle of Lebron. Now, coach Vogel came out
Speaker 1: and said he's Okay, he's good to go, But what
Speaker 1: else is he going to say? Oh, he towards it.
Speaker 1: You know, he turned his ankle again, so he's got
Speaker 1: to put that out. I think health and concern will
Speaker 1: always follow these Lakers throughout these playoffs. Um, but it's
Speaker 1: funny how teams in the Western Conference we're kind of
Speaker 1: dodging a little bit not to fall into the Lakers
Speaker 1: path und the Clippers if the Clippers did it. Um
Speaker 1: but I will say this, I feel bad for Phoenix
Speaker 1: because Phoenix is I mean great here. Chris Paul is
Speaker 1: an MVP candidate, Devin Booker has been ridiculous, Montie Williams
Speaker 1: will probably win Coach of the Year. And what how
Speaker 1: are you rewarded. You've had the best record, a resurgence
Speaker 1: in the Valley of the Sun, and you were rewarded
Speaker 1: by playing the World champs possibly knock on Wood in
Speaker 1: the first round. Come on, who else is dangerous in
Speaker 1: the West or just in general? Just in general? I
Speaker 1: could just say, hey, here's a team that just keep
Speaker 1: an eye on health if they're healthy, and this is
Speaker 1: a scary first round matchup in the East. How did
Speaker 1: Milwaukee draw Miami? Miami outs of them last year in
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They know how to play Jannis. Now, to
Speaker 1: Milwaukee's credit, I think they've done a great job of
Speaker 1: going out and getting some pieces. I think that will
Speaker 1: help them. Getting Drew Holiday and PJ. Tucker two tough guys,
Speaker 1: two defensive minded guys that are going to help you
Speaker 1: honest in the playoffs. But Miami is a team that
Speaker 1: has championship aspirations. We saw them get to the finals.
Speaker 1: If they can find that shooting touch because their defense
Speaker 1: has been really good. Bam has been playing great. Jimmy
Speaker 1: Butler has to stay healthy. He's been up and down
Speaker 1: all year with health. But when he's right, when those
Speaker 1: shooters are right, Hero and Duncan, this is a scary
Speaker 1: team to watch. It's almost a Pickham series for me.
Speaker 1: I know Milwaukee's the third seed, but to me, that's
Speaker 1: a pick him series. If you did your MVP vote today,
Speaker 1: who would get it. I'm voting for step I vote.
Speaker 1: I know Yo will win, and rightfully so, he's played
Speaker 1: every game and he's had unbelievable numbers. He'll win it.
Speaker 1: But my MVP. No one expected Golden State when they
Speaker 1: heard the news that Clay Torres is Achilles that they
Speaker 1: were going to be in this position, and he think
Speaker 1: about other than Draymond. I know Wiggins is good. Kelly
Speaker 1: Bray got off to who else is who? I know
Speaker 1: you're number two? Pick wise been win down about a
Speaker 1: month and a half ago. So they Steve Carr has
Speaker 1: found ways to patch work this team and now they're
Speaker 1: in the playing game. He is my MVP. His last
Speaker 1: two months have been ridiculous. That's ridiculous what he's done.
Speaker 1: That's the video game. If you could have Robert Ory's
Speaker 1: career or Steve Nash's career, Steve Nash two time MVP
Speaker 1: kind of changed the game. I'm gonna go with Steve Nash. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know championships are great, don't get me wrong. But
Speaker 1: to be a baller and to be the best player
Speaker 1: on a team, and to be the leader, and to
Speaker 1: be a face of a nation two and with Canada
Speaker 1: two for you know, for a long while, I'm taking
Speaker 1: Steve Nash. Okay, Robert or Vince Carter who Now I
Speaker 1: might have to go with Robert, but half man, half amazing.
Speaker 1: He started the basketball revolution along with Steve Nash for
Speaker 1: Canada when he was up in Toronto. But seven Ships.
Speaker 1: I mean, Robert already needs to be in the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame. I know, I get where you're going. Robert
Speaker 1: already needs to be in the Hall of Fame. Theodore Man.
Speaker 1: But okay, iverson Robert Ory, Oh, come on stop its well,
Speaker 1: that's easy. He's a cult hero, that's true. He is
Speaker 1: a cult hero. He He's like Shock, Wilt, Steph, They Jordan.
Speaker 1: They change things, They change the culture of things, the
Speaker 1: way we perceive things. I'm going with Ai. I'll leave
Speaker 1: you with this. How much of you wanted to hear
Speaker 1: Kobe give that speech yet Saturday? Well, you know he
Speaker 1: heard Jordan's speech right when he went. You know, he
Speaker 1: took names and went after guys. I think we would
Speaker 1: have seen kind of the same thing. Do you think
Speaker 1: he would have roast to the audience, Yes, and then
Speaker 1: some see. I thought he would have roasted KG and Duncan.
Speaker 1: I think he probably would have told a story about
Speaker 1: MJ two, because I'm sure MJ. He would have asked
Speaker 1: MJ to stand up for him as well, and just
Speaker 1: see them side by side, because they will forever be linked,
Speaker 1: because they are the two best shooting guards this game
Speaker 1: has ever seen. And just to see them side by
Speaker 1: side would have been really cool because of how much
Speaker 1: Kobe looked up to his airness. But Vanessa was fantastic.
Speaker 1: I don't know how. I don't know how she does it.
Speaker 1: How she did it at the memorial at Staples, which
Speaker 1: was that was too soon for me, and then this
Speaker 1: it's she was fantastic. I got more emotional than she did,
Speaker 1: like she held composure and I'm going, oh man, this
Speaker 1: is hitting me hard. It really is. Uh, it's it's tough,
Speaker 1: it really is. Because I'm glad we're starting to get
Speaker 1: us sense and see how Kobe was away from the court,
Speaker 1: you know, and we're getting a better glimpse of that
Speaker 1: because all we see was win, win, win by any
Speaker 1: means necessary, go right through you, and rightfully so, because
Speaker 1: you know, play haven't played against him. That's how he was.
Speaker 1: But I kind of knew Kobe away from the court,
Speaker 1: and how Vanessa and his and the family have kind
Speaker 1: of made him more human has been fantastic. Along with Gigi.
Speaker 1: I mean, just great, absolutely great. Great. Chuck to you, Bud,
Speaker 1: You're always the best. Theodore, Well we'll talk to once again.
Speaker 1: You would have your career over Robert Doris right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love you, big shot, but you're getting this. I
Speaker 1: have big shots too. I just don't have these. I
Speaker 1: don't have me. But I can go big shot for
Speaker 1: big shot with you. Okay, but can I have one
Speaker 1: of these? You're a better shooter than Robert Door. Come on,
Speaker 1: stop it, I just stop it still, stand still, kick
Speaker 1: out Robert or you? But did you like this? He
Speaker 1: would come to me for shooting okay, and they're coming
Speaker 1: to me for shooting day. There's a lot of guys
Speaker 1: who would thank you, buddy, Talk to you soon. The best, Theodore,
