1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. We made it to a Friday. It's a 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,479 Speaker 1: meat Friday at that but we're not having meat today. 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: It's good Friday, and that means we're having simple glazed 5 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:23,600 Speaker 1: salmon filets and cilantro lime rice. Who has it better 6 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: than we do? Nobody, Welcome to the program. It is 7 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: busy today. The commissioner of the NBA is going to 8 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 1: join us, coming up in about fifteen minutes from now. 9 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 1: Got a couple of topics for him, expansion. Is there 10 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: a chance Seattle, Las Vegas could be getting franchises sometime soon? 11 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: I think Seattle's mayor talked about sources, saying that maybe 12 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: they were closer than a lot of people think of 13 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: Seattle getting the NBA back in town. So we'll talk 14 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: to the commissioner about that, and also the incentive we're 15 00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,040 Speaker 1: incentivizing players to play more games. And I got a 16 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: couple of suggestions for him. Also, do we just do 17 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 1: away with carrying the ball, palming the ball? I got 18 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: to ask him that question because it feels like when 19 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: you watch a game now, everybody carries the ball, palms 20 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: the ball. I just know growing up that was a 21 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: big deal, not anymore. And John Stockton and Alan Iverson 22 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: were probably the guys who ushered in a new era 23 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: of how you handled the ball. Stockton always palmed it 24 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: and then Iverson did as well. But now it feels 25 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: like everybody on all levels palming the basketball. Yes, I 26 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: do love that this bothers you. So it does bother me? 27 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 1: You talk about it off, I do. It does bother 28 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: me the little things that bother me. Mel kiper draft expert. 29 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: Is he going to tell Pauli good news that a 30 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: quarterback or two could be selected through the first thirteen picks? 31 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: And the great actor John c Riley, He's in the 32 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: HBO documentary. He portrays the former Laker owner, doctor Jerry Buss. 33 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: He of course was in Talladega Nights, he was in 34 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: Boogie Nights.

The NFL, we know nothing is guaranteed. 51 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: Football violent sport. The owners and teams notoriously cutthroat with 52 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: their rosters. There's no loyalty. The league's about what you've 53 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: done for your team lately, and if you have a 54 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,839 Speaker 1: down year or you get injured, that mindset could lead 55 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: the teams pivoting in a different direction. And case in 56 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: point Baker Mayfield. The Browns looked to give him an 57 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: extension last offseason, but then he bet on himself and 58 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: he got hurt. He continued to play and he hurt. 59 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: That possibility of getting that long term contract. Now he 60 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: would still be their quarterback if the Browns didn't up 61 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: the endy to get Deshaun Watson. They gave Deshaun Watson 62 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: an offer he couldn't refuse. That Basically, it because the 63 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: reports were Deshaun Watson didn't want to go to Cleveland, 64 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: didn't want to play in that weather. And then all 65 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: of a sudden, they said, how about we just guarantee 66 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: everything and that's it. And then Baker Mayfield's like, wait 67 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: a minute, that's my money. Well it's not. So he's 68 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: currently without a long term deal and a starting job. 69 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: And then you have Kyler Murray's situation. Tom Pellicero, the 70 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: Great Insider for the NFL Network, tweeted out this morning 71 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: the Cardinals have said they want to extend Kyler Murray eventually, 72 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: and Murray said recently, I'm not really too worried about 73 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: my future as a Cardinal. But with two weeks until 74 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: the draft, no negotiations, other teams are watching a situation 75 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: to monitor, Tom Pellicero said. He goes on to say 76 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: Cardinals have yet to make a contract offer to Kyler Murray, 77 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: whose agent informed the team weeks ago he was pulling 78 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: his opening proposal off the table, per sources, other teams 79 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: are monitoring closely. Arizona insist Kyler Murray won't be traded. 80 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: The Cardinals are not known for paying. If you're going 81 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: to eventually pay Kyler Murray, if you think he is 82 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: your franchise quarterback, then pay him. I would want to 83 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: wait a year. I would say to the agent, let's 84 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: wait a year. Now. If you're the agent, then do 85 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 1: you say, well, the price is going up. Just so 86 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: you know, if you wait a year the price is 87 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: going up, he's going to bet on himself. I don't 88 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: like when a player or an agent goes hey, if 89 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: you don't pay him, he wants to be traded, okay, 90 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: or he's going to sit out. I don't like that 91 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: kind of angle proposal, leverage demand. But Arizona, with Kyler Murray, 92 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 1: I've seen glimpses of greatness, I haven't seen consistent greatness. 93 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: Are you going to pay him forty five million dollars 94 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: a year? And they probably will. But just the fact 95 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: that Tom Peloso said teams are monitoring this situation here 96 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: and as we lead up to the draft, that's where 97 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: you could have somebody say just checking back in you 98 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: guys interested in trading Kyler Murray, and it feels like, 99 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: you know, Russell Wilson got traded. I don't think anything 100 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: is off the table. Feels like everybody's in play. When 101 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: you start to look at what's happened, you can't say, well, 102 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: that'll never happen. I mean, look at the twenty five 103 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: things that happened in the month of March. Then there's 104 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: another story, and it didn't get a lot of run. 105 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 1: Ben voland who covers the Patriots for the Boston Globe. 106 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: So here's the headline, and I thought, I'm wondering why 107 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: these shows didn't jump on this because it has Brady 108 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: that choosy, clickbait, a secret plan, a bombshell lawsuit, and 109 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: a soccer match inside Tom Brady's on retirement. I'm all 110 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: in click, I'm on, I'm reading. And you know, we 111 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: wondered why Tom Brady went to the soccer match in London, 112 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: And this was a couple of weeks ago, and he 113 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: was going to meet with the Glazier family they owned 114 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: Manchester United, and I thought, I wonder if he's asking 115 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: for permission to go to the San Francisco forty nine 116 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: ers well as it turns out he was going there, 117 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: I think, to kind of kiss the ring of the 118 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: Glazers to say, hey, I was trying to go to 119 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. They were going to hire me as 120 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: a minority owner. Then I was going to come out 121 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: of retirement, and then we were going to get Sean 122 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: Payton as my head coach. And then the Brian Flores 123 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: lawsuit dropped, and Brady I think, realized that's not going 124 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: to happen now, and so he went to London to 125 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: say whatever. He said, Hey, I'm going to come back, 126 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: but if I'm going to come back, I don't want 127 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: Bruce arians to be the head coach. And then the 128 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: next day Brady announced that he was coming back. I 129 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: don't know how much of this is true, but I 130 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: hope all of it is. I mean, Ben is a 131 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: great reporter. It's the Boston Globe, and you know Mike 132 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: Floria has been all over this story for a while 133 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: that you know the possibility. And I was told that 134 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: Brady wanted to or Gizelle wanted Tom to sign with 135 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: Miami when he left New England and then he went 136 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: to Tampa. Now all of a sudden, you can go 137 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: to Miami. Keep mom happy, you get part ownership. I 138 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: can come out of retirement after Tampa gets you know, 139 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: because Tampa then might have looked at Baker Mayfield. Well, 140 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: then they got their quarterback. Hey, I'm thinking about coming back. 141 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: And then you get compensation from the Miami Dolphins. And 142 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: then look at what the Dolphins have done. You got 143 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: two really good wide receivers. You just pat I mean imagine, 144 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: if you're Tom Brady, You're going, Oh my god, I 145 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: could have minority ownership, Tyree kill Jalen Waddle. Oh this 146 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: is this is nirvana. I could play another five years here. 147 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: But because of the Brian Flores discrimination lawsuit, then it 148 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: put everything on hold. And then there was you know 149 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: the tampering story. Remember the story where Brady was going 150 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 1: to go to the yacht of Stephen Ross. And keep 151 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: in mind Stephen Ross, big donor to the University of Michigan, 152 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: and guess who went to the University of Michigan, Tom Brady. 153 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: So Brian Flores was going to go to the yacht. Brady, Well, 154 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: a legendary quarterback, was on the yacht with the owner, 155 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: Stephen Ross, and Brian Flores says, I can't do that. 156 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: It's tampering, and so he never met with Tom Brady. 157 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: But I mean, I'm fascinated by this just because And 158 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: here's the other thing I love. Here's my favorite part 159 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 1: of all of it. Brady of course famously didn't acknowledge 160 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: the Patriots when he retired, and the reason being because 161 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: he knew he was going to face them twice a 162 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: year as a Miami Dolphin. I hope the story's true. 163 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: I hope. Oh, it's awesome, awesome, the NFL Undefeated.

The draft in thirteen days, 168 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: and I'm really curious about what Green Bay is going 169 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: to do, because if you're going to sign Sammy Watkins 170 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: as your big offseason move, if I'm Aaron Rodgers, I 171 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: would be breaking down film right now. Hey, you want 172 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: us to take one or two wide receivers in the 173 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: first round, come on in, let's do this together. And 174 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: then you see somebody alike, we'll see if we can 175 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: get him. And I think Mel has them taking two 176 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: wide receivers in the first round. But it's tough. You know, 177 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: we've seen it's feast or famine with these rookie wide 178 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: receivers because you'll get some that come in and they're like, man, 179 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: they're great right away. You know, we saw that in Cincinnati, 180 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: justin Jefferson, we saw that. You know, occasionally you get 181 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: that that wide receiver comes in and you're like, wow, 182 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: it plays like a veteran here. Jamar Chase was wonderful. 183 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: But if you're like, why would you have Aaron Rodgers 184 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: come back and pay him all that money if you're 185 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: not going to have weapons and you lost Avante Adams, 186 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: you lost Valdez Scantling. Now what are you gonna do 187 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: to say, Aaron, we paid you all that money, go 188 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: out and make some magic again. Feels like they're going 189 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: to be diving into something here. As far as you 190 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: know rookie wide receivers. Who's their go to wide receiver 191 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: right now? Alan Lazarre and he's good and he's probably gonna, 192 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: you know, have eighty catches. But if you're Aaron Rodgers, 193 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: you're coming back to Green Bay. Yeah, you got paid, 194 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: but who you're throwing the ball to? And how long 195 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: is that gonna bubble take before bubble's over? And you're like, man, 196 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: got no weapons. You imagine if they went through the 197 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: first round and they didn't take a wide receiver, who 198 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: that wouldn't go over? Well? All right, Seaton pole question today? 199 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 1: What are you sitting on? Boy? Am I sitting on 200 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: a lot today? Dan?

Dan? 264 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: I'm great? How are you? What game are you going 265 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: to tonight? Just watching on TV tonight. I was wondering 266 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: if where you went to school, how that affected you 267 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: as far as wanting to do this job or being 268 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: in all in the NBA. Because you go to Duke 269 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: and then the University of Chicago Duke in the early 270 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: eighties and then Chicago University of Chicago when Michael Jordan 271 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: gets to town. How much of an impact did that 272 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: have on you wanting to do this? Such an interesting question. 273 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: Duke had a huge impact on me. I wanted to 274 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: do this, I'd say when I went down to Duke, 275 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: I grew up in a New York I was a 276 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: Knicks fan growing up but I wasn't a huge college 277 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: basketball fan. And then when I got to Duke, it 278 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: was coach K's first year in nineteen eighty and at 279 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: least then, I mean the good the good and bad 280 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: news was the teams weren't great. You didn't have to 281 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: sleep outside and paint your face to go to a game, 282 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: so it suited me well. But I really fell in 283 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: love with the program there. And then you're exactly right. 284 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: Then I went to University of Chicago Law school. Michael 285 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: had come a few years earlier. I think I got 286 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: there and eighty five, so right around the same time 287 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: Michael came. And again same thing. You know, Michael was 288 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: a phenom, but they weren't winning in those early years. 289 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 1: You could just go to the old Bull Stadium, you know, 290 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: ten minutes before the game, buy a ticket and go. 291 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: So used to go with my law school friends and 292 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: so and that. I remember early days there are the Bulls. 293 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: You thought you were experiencing something pre internet everything else 294 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: that no one else sort of understood, like you felt 295 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: like you were in the special club watching Michael Jordan 296 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 1: and those teams. So, you know, and even then, I'll say, though, 297 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: when I then finished law school, worked for a judge, 298 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 1: worked at a law firm in New York. It never 299 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: occurred to me that I'd have a career in sports. 300 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 1: But then you went to NBA Entertainment. I So what 301 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: happened was I had been practicing law for a couple 302 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: of years and David Stern had worked at the same 303 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 1: law firm my father had worked it. I didn't know him, 304 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 1: and I wrote him a letter, not thinking I would 305 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 1: work at the NBA, but asking for advice on how 306 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: to transition from being a lawyer into doing something else. 307 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: I was actually most interested in media. I one of 308 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: the clients of our law firm was HBO, and I 309 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: was spending a lot of time working on media cases. 310 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,479 Speaker 1: And David ended up meeting with me, you know, pre 311 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:17,199 Speaker 1: pre email, old fashioned letter saying dear Commissioner Stern. I 312 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 1: ended up meeting with him a month or so later. 313 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: He gave me some advice, and then several months after that, 314 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 1: his assistant called me and he said and said, if 315 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: you have time, you'd like to see you. I've said, 316 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,239 Speaker 1: of course, And I didn't understand what we were he 317 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: had in mind when we first met, but as it 318 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: turned out, he wanted to hire an assistant. So that 319 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,439 Speaker 1: was my first job as the special assistant to the Commissioner, 320 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 1: and that was nineteen ninety two. How many days in 321 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: before he yelled at you? Half half a day I 322 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 1: was there At one time he wanted to meet and 323 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: he was in another part of his office and I 324 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: heard him yelling like he at the top of his lungs. 325 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: And I'm sitting there and I'm going, oh my god, 326 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: I'm in trouble. He came out and he would go 327 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: those bleep and contractors. He goaues, I'm trying to get 328 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: work done at my house. He goes, hey, Patrick, how 329 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: are you? I'm going, oh my god. Like he just 330 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: snapped right into just being a normal, regular guy. No 331 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 1: one was immune. I think he would have made it 332 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes and with a modern HR department, but 333 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: he was. He was equal opportunity, whether it was his 334 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 1: contractor or an NBA owner. That's who he was. I mean, 335 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: he brought a lot of passion everything. I miss him 336 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 1: every day, but um, it was a different time, you know. 337 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: And then CEOs commissioners. Um, I mean it was a 338 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 1: full frontal assault being yelled at by David literally like 339 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: physically he wasn't that big a guy, but he was 340 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: broad shouldered and it would not you back when he 341 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: would yell. Were you involved in the Last Dance the 342 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: Jordan documentary? I was very involved. In fact, I was 343 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: the president of MBA Entertainment during Michael's last season on 344 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: the Bulls when we went to first Jerry Reinsdorff and 345 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: then Phil Jackson to get permission to do that, and 346 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: then I was the one sent to convince Michael what 347 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: our what our agreement was at the time, and we 348 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 1: knew each other well because I was head of MBA 349 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 1: Entertainment was let's on a handshake, agree to allow us 350 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: to be a fly on the wall, and I'll commit 351 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: to you that this footage in those days it was film, 352 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 1: and you know MBA Entertainment out in Scaucus will will 353 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: physically keep it in a different place in our library 354 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: and we'll never use it unless we jointly agree we 355 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: can do something with it, and so we and then 356 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 1: of course then he retired, he came back at one point. 357 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: We had many conversations over the years with different potential directors, 358 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 1: and he never quite warmed up to making it. And 359 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: then you know, whenever that was five years ago or 360 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: so that some of his long time colleagues Curtis Polk, 361 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: ste Portnoy others went to him and said, it's time. 362 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 1: There's a there's a generation out there who understand you 363 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 1: as a brand and you have shoes and you know, 364 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: the Jordan brand and all that, but but never understood 365 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: who you were and what you brought to the game. 366 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: And I and I think that moved him and ultimately 367 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 1: we went out hired new director. It was sort of 368 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: joint production with a group and obviously then ESPN in 369 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: the middle of the you know, pandemic, you know, accelerated 370 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: it recognized there was an opportunity that it went to Netflix, 371 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,360 Speaker 1: but um, you know it, it was a fascinating process 372 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: over many years to make that documentary. And by the way, Dan, 373 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: when we made it, there was no one had suggested 374 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: a documentary back then or presentation was more than two hours. 375 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: You know, it's unhurt, right you you followed someone for 376 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 1: a year, but like a documentary, and the only real 377 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: outlets back then it was HBO. You know, maybe some 378 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: sort of film festival or something for a documentary. Maybe 379 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 1: it would go to home video, but it was a 380 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: two hour essentially maybe two and a half hour presentation. 381 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: And it wasn't until years and years later that people 382 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 1: had the sense that you could do multi parts ten hours, 383 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: twelve hours or whatever else. I mean that nobody, as 384 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: you know, thought in those terms back then. But I'm 385 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: a conspiracy theorist here. It felt like the timing of this. 386 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: Lebron had just won another championship, and it felt like, 387 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 1: let's let's and you know how competitive Jordan is, Let's 388 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: remind everybody of why I'm the greatest of all time. 389 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: And it comes out at the time that Lebron wins 390 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: a championship. So let me present that storyline to you, Commissioner. Uh. 391 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: You know, I don't think Michael's immune from hearing about 392 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: other potential goats out there, you know. You know it 393 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: was never said directly, but I think there's has to 394 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: be a part of him that as he's watching the 395 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 1: game today and the way he approached it, the way 396 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 1: he approached you know, every minute of every game, the 397 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: number of minutes he played. He had seasons where he 398 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,959 Speaker 1: averaged forty over forty minutes. You know, I remember in 399 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 1: those days, you know, again, because I was at me 400 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 1: entertainment and doing the television stuff that he felt an 401 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: obligation to play every game. Yeah, I mean he knew putting, 402 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: not just for a television audience, but he knew and 403 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: every time he played, there were families, there were others 404 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: who had saved their money, potentially scalped the ticket in 405 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 1: those days, as they called it, to see Michael Jordan play. 406 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: And I think he personally felt that it weighed heavily 407 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: on him. Maybe there were even times he played that 408 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: maybe doctors didn't want him to play, but as you know, 409 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: it was a different time. But you know, I look 410 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: at Zion Williamson this year. Let's go back to Michael's 411 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: second year where he breaks his foot. He wouldn't he 412 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't play in today's NBA. Right the Celtics series, which 413 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: I think was the coming out party for Michael Jordan, 414 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,239 Speaker 1: was that series in the Garden when he put up 415 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 1: sixty three. That wouldn't have happened. And I know that 416 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: you you know, we're trying to incentivize and what do 417 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 1: you do to get players to play more games? And 418 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: Mike would have been held out probably the whole season. 419 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 1: I'm going to imagine in today's NBA, I think that's right, 420 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: I mean, and I'll just say you got to find 421 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: the right balance because there's also players, former great players 422 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,640 Speaker 1: who you and I both know or somewhat hobbled today 423 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: because maybe they played at times they shouldn't have. So 424 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: you know, I think your word incentives the right is 425 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: the right one, because I think there are situations today where, 426 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 1: even if side from injuries where you know, load management 427 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: as they call it these days, there are where perfectly 428 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: healthy players, somebody at a team can tell you on 429 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: November fifteenth that on January nineteenth, this player will not 430 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: be playing in this game because our program suggests that 431 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 1: would not be good for his health. And I think 432 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:25,160 Speaker 1: that it's more of an art than people acknowledge. Sometimes 433 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: there's the suggest that it's pure science and we know 434 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: will reduce injuries by a player not playing in that game. Now, 435 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 1: of course, if you arguably if you played fewer games, 436 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: maybe decreases the likelihood that you'll get injured. But it's 437 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: it's the right balance because players understand it's a business too. 438 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 1: They're entertainers. Yes, people who are rooting for that team 439 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: want that team to optimize that player on the floor 440 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: and not overdo it. But at the same time, these 441 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: guys are paid an enormous amount of money to play 442 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: this game, and it's a little out of skew right now, 443 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: there's no question, and I think it's I mentioned it 444 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 1: the other day when I was doing some media about 445 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 1: what it is we need to do working with the 446 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: Players Association to create greater incentives for guys to play 447 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: a full compliment of games, but but not push to 448 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: that point where as maybe happened in the old days 449 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 1: where guys truly felt they needed to play through actual 450 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: injuries and maybe shorten their careers. And well, what about 451 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: minimum games to be eligible for postseason honors. I think 452 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: that's a good idea. I think that's something we should 453 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 1: look at. I think that would be a way to 454 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:36,479 Speaker 1: incentivize guys. I think there's an expectation that if you 455 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 1: are going to be an MVP or whatever the whatever, 456 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: that award is even first team, second team, third team 457 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: a NBA. Sure, I agree with you. I think it's 458 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 1: a good suggestion. I think it's something we're going to 459 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: be going into collective bargaining fairly soon, and and my 460 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: sense is it's something that in the aggregate, most players 461 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: would think is a good idea too. I mean, the 462 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: conversation we're having is not all that different than the 463 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,679 Speaker 1: one I have with individual players. I mean, I think 464 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: they're fans of the game. They want to see guys 465 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: on the floor. And in fairness to the players, in 466 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: many cases, it's the teams. These load management programs are 467 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: coming from our teams, not the players. So it's often 468 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: a trainer who was saying to a player. And by 469 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 1: the way, I've had this conversation with Michael Michael Jordan, 470 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: and you know, he thought at the time that he 471 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: was more likely to get injured if he sat out 472 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: a game. Like he thought like if he got out 473 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: of his rhythm, that that might lead to an injury. 474 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: So well, he felt that obligation to the fans. And 475 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 1: what was different too, in those days there were games, 476 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 1: and every game didn't get the scrutiny he got now. 477 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 1: But maybe it was a game that certainly wasn't on 478 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: national television, less important competitively, but he would start, they 479 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,439 Speaker 1: may take him out, he'd start the third quarter. But 480 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 1: for a fan who was there tuning in or in 481 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: that arena, maybe their only chance to see Michael Jordan. 482 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: He made sure that he was on the floor. We're 483 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: talking to the NBA comissioner, Adam Silver. We got games 484 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: coming up tonight. You got the Hawks at the Cavaliers, 485 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: Pelicans at the Clippers. All right, this is something I'm 486 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: sure that you have not been addressed, or have addressed 487 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 1: or been bothered by. But it bothers me. Do we 488 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: just decide now that you can't carry the basketball palm 489 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 1: the basketball in the NBA like we've moved on that 490 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:26,120 Speaker 1: you're allowed to do that, Commissioner, interesting, you should ask, 491 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: so I've I've had this conversation with Monty McCutcheon, who's 492 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: the head of officiating, and one it's the players cover 493 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: so much ground now, they're so skilled. It's a tough 494 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: call to make. First of all, I think it may 495 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: be that the rule needs to be changed because the 496 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: way the rule is now written is that you can't 497 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: put your hand under the ball, completely under the ball, 498 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: or bring it to a pause. I think in some cases, 499 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: if you really broke it down, the player's hand is 500 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: actually on the side of the ball, not under the ball, 501 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: and that crossover happens so quickly and there's no pause. 502 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if technically I don't think Palming is 503 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: the word in our rule book, but I don't think 504 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: as you and I are describing it, that it's technically 505 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: a violation. There's no doubt our officials miss it sometimes, 506 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: but I know that plenty of fans when I'm in 507 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: the seats will say to me, isn't that palming? They're 508 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: going like this now our officials are looking to see, 509 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: are looking for the pause, and they're looking to see. 510 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: I think you know, clearly if there's that so called 511 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: frozen moment, they should be calling it. But it is 512 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: an area of attention for our officiating. I know it's 513 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: the little things that bother me. Commissioner, what would expansion 514 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: hinge on? I saw where Seattle's mayor talked about, you know, 515 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: sources or Las Vegas is a possibility. What like, what 516 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: would be the time frame? What would hinge on expanding? 517 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: There's there's no clear sort of benchmark to get there. 518 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: You know. Part of it is that I think a 519 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:14,719 Speaker 1: sense of the governors that the old owners of the 520 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: teams as to there's you know, their view of when 521 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: it makes sense to grow the enterprise. I mean, to me, 522 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: there's two core issues. One is the economics, of course, 523 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: and that if you expand the way I think of 524 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: the league, the thirty teams, they're thirty shareholders, and you're 525 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: really selling equity. If you just, let's say we were 526 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: expand by an even number, then the extent you're growing 527 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: things get divided one thirty second instead of one thirtieth, 528 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: and so then it's the time value of money. If 529 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: you whatever the values you get for that expansion team, 530 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: what's the cost of that equity that you're selling in 531 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: the value of it. So that's one way we look 532 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: at it. I think the other is the competition on 533 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: the floor. And what's interesting in this league is that 534 00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: even where like another global sports soccer, where there's multiple 535 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: great leagues around the world in Bundesliga League, the English 536 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: Premier League, all top notch leagues. In basketball, everyone would 537 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: acknowledge there's one league at the top of the pyramid globally, 538 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: it's the NBA. Yet even with all the very best 539 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 1: players in the world coming to this league, a game 540 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: played by tens of millions of kids around the world, 541 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: you still don't have the kind of competitive parody that 542 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: we would like. You and I both know you could 543 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: start the season, you could say there's a large group 544 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: of teams that in all likelihood aren't going to win 545 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: the championship, or if you looked at a Vegas board 546 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: or something, you'd see where the odds are and if 547 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: you expand, you're deluding talent even more. So that is 548 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: a factor we look at, and I think it's it's 549 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: in the part of the mindset of the existing teams 550 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: how that will work. Having said all that, I think 551 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: enterprises naturally grow over time, and there's no doubt Seattle 552 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: would be a great market. Las Vegas would be a 553 00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: great market. There's there's state of the art arenas's you know, 554 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: in both those communities, and so we'll look at it. 555 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 1: It's interestingly it's it's not on the front burner for 556 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: our league right now. And also we're going to go 557 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: through a new collective bargaining negotiation. I also think there's 558 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: a lot of uncertainty in the media world right now, 559 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: all these new streaming platforms potentially interested in sports, so 560 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: it's it's hard to set the right value. I think 561 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: that's something we're going to monitor as well. So nothing 562 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: will happen in the short or medium term, but we'll 563 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: turn back to it at some point. Great to catch 564 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: up with you, good luck in the postseason, and thanks 565 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: for joining us as always. Yeah, thank you, Dan. That's 566 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 1: the Commissioner, Adam Silver. Yeah, I wondered about that. He 567 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: was part of the Cameron Crazies before they were crazy 568 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: because Coach k wasn't very good those teams the first 569 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: three years. Then I think, you know, Commissioner's final year there, 570 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, Duke got good. And then 571 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: you go to Chicago University of Chicago. You're there Michael 572 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: Jordan before he becomes the brand worldwide brand, And I 573 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: remember working without him at in NBA Entertainment. I'd see 574 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: him quite often, but everybody's gotten yelled at by the Commissioner. 575 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: I have quite a few times. I think they're working 576 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: on a documentary on Commissioner Stern and being told and 577 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: I was. I was contacted on what I like to 578 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: be interviewed for the David Stern documentary O the polaver 579 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: Oh when he went up, Yeah, I know, I'm like, man, 580 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: there was a point in time where you would have 581 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 1: him on and every time the Commissioner came on, he'd dropped. 582 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: It was almost like word of the day, the perse picacity. Yes, 583 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 1: he gave me two two of those polaver in purse Picassidy. Yeah, 584 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: he was unique, man, he was unique. All right, we'll 585 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 1: take a break. Play of the Day up next, Dan 586 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 1: Patrick Show.

Good morning listen. Had to call in, not 621 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: that you need my suggestions, but I asked the fellows 622 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 1: in the back, if you've submitted your videos yet for Emmy, 623 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 1: and I think this interview that you just finished with 624 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 1: Adam Silver would be a solid lock for you for 625 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 1: a sportsman because you ask, you ask such a good 626 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,880 Speaker 1: questions and then you just sit there and be quiet 627 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: and listen to this expert in basketball color in your questions. 628 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: And it was just epic. Because I'm not an NBA fan. 629 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 1: I wait for the playoffs and then watch and this 630 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: guy just was amazing treasure trove of information and your questions, 631 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: each one let him down a pathway that you demonstrated 632 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: your depth of understanding of the NBA. And I just 633 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 1: really think you could. This could be the Emmy winner 634 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 1: for you right here. This would be one of the 635 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,720 Speaker 1: five that you should submit. Thank you, Garry. We've already 636 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 1: submitted our tape for this year that's where we got nominated, 637 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 1: but we'll factor that in for next year. But I 638 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: also think sometimes these commissioners, these players, these coaches, these managers, 639 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 1: they get asked so many questions and they're usually the 640 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,879 Speaker 1: same questions, and the approach has to be a little 641 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: bit more thought out. And this is where the Danettes 642 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 1: come in because I use them as a sounding board 643 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: and sometimes I don't even tell them what I'm going 644 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 1: to ask. They knew about the carrying the ball, palming 645 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: the basketball just because when I watch I see it 646 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 1: in college everybody does it and I would get called. 647 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 1: That'd be a turnover when I was playing. So you know, 648 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,799 Speaker 1: I'm looking for some basketball justice here. But also the 649 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: other things that he probably wanted to be led to 650 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 1: the how do you incentivize these players to play? And 651 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 1: my idea is, you're not going to make first team, 652 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 1: second team, third team All NBA unless you play in 653 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: a minimum number of games. And then he you notice 654 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 1: he up Michael Jordan playing forty minutes a game. He 655 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 1: had notes, they're ready for that. But my point was, look, 656 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,839 Speaker 1: you can get a max contract. You can make more 657 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 1: money because you're going to be first team, second team 658 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,359 Speaker 1: or third team All NBA. And he knows that, and 659 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: I think that's where he said, yes, you know, I 660 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:24,319 Speaker 1: think you're right with that, but having good topics there, 661 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,359 Speaker 1: approaching them in a different way. The fact he went 662 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 1: to Duke right as coach k got there, he was 663 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,799 Speaker 1: in Chicago when Michael Jordan got there, and how that 664 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,840 Speaker 1: had an impact on him. He's probably hasn't spoken about 665 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: that or been asked about it, because a lot of 666 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:43,840 Speaker 1: times you don't ask the person you're talking to about 667 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 1: the person you're talking to, the commissioner as he's the commissioner. 668 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 1: And I think the backstory was really interesting. Gave up 669 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:57,959 Speaker 1: a law career to work in the NBA and work 670 00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,319 Speaker 1: at the NBA Entertainment and be part of the you know, 671 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 1: the beginning stages, the embryonic stages of the Jordan documentary 672 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: and the fact that he didn't even know if it 673 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 1: was going to come out, So twenty five years ago, 674 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 1: he's working on a documentary that he didn't even know 675 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: was ever going to see the light of day. And 676 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,719 Speaker 1: then Jordan had to say and he knows, and you 677 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: could tell the commissioner when he said no, Michael. Michael 678 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:27,240 Speaker 1: definitely released that at the time he did because Lebron 679 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: had just won another title. Absolutely Tyler in South Dakota. Hi, Tyler, 680 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:37,720 Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Hey? Dan?

Coming up next hour, mel 696 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:39,319 Speaker 1: kiper draft expert, and Paulie is hoping. Mel thinks there's 697 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,720 Speaker 1: going to be a quarterback taken in the first thirteen picks. 698 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:48,400 Speaker 1: John c Riley, he portrays the former owner of the Lakers, 699 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,920 Speaker 1: doctor Jerry Buss. And you know, there's been controversy with 700 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,280 Speaker 1: this series on HBO. There's been a lot of pushback 701 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 1: from the players who were part of the Lakers, whether 702 00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:01,319 Speaker 1: it's Magic or Kareem Jerry West and how he's being 703 00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 1: portrayed in that series. So we'll talk to John c 704 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 1: Riley about that.
