Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. This is the final hour of the show
Speaker 1: this Tuesday, Dan and The Dan Ns Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1: Since we weren't here yesterday, we're taking phone calls best
Speaker 1: and worst to the weekend. What you saw that you liked,
Speaker 1: you didn't like. If you missed Charles Barkley, you can
Speaker 1: always listen again on the podcast. Go to Dan Patrick
Speaker 1: dot com for that and coming up, Big Shot Bob
Speaker 1: Robert ory the Lakers end List get his thoughts on
Speaker 1: the new head coach. I did wonder the timing of this.
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is how the Lakers planned it,
Speaker 1: but late Friday afternoon, early evening, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: it's like, and the Lakers have hired Darvinham. I'm like,
Speaker 1: if you wanted to hide this, you did a really
Speaker 1: good job. Memorial Day weekend. Anytime there's a news dump
Speaker 1: is what we call it in the business. Friday after
Speaker 1: five o'clock at shoosy, you're trying to have something go away.
Speaker 1: Lebron was very excited about the hiring of Darvenham. But
Speaker 1: it'll be tough for rookie head coach to come in
Speaker 1: and say Um, hey, we had an experience coach Frank
Speaker 1: Vogel who won a title and he couldn't figure out
Speaker 1: what to do with Russell Westbrook. Why don't you do it?
Speaker 1: Darvin good Luck? Yeah, Marv. Do you think the Lakers
Speaker 1: were just trying to just, you know, just slide on,
Speaker 1: you know, get it under the rug, you know what,
Speaker 1: let's not make any big waves. I think it's like
Speaker 1: Lebron like as he got further and further along, it
Speaker 1: went from the decision to a tweet, to an article
Speaker 1: with Lee Jenkins to just a facts like I'm going
Speaker 1: to the Lakers just you know what, let's just keep
Speaker 1: it under I don't know, it feels like whenever you
Speaker 1: hire somebody, you should be shouting from the mountaintops of
Speaker 1: here's our new head coach. I think they probably ran
Speaker 1: into a situation that they didn't think was possible. That
Speaker 1: you might have had some people who didn't want to
Speaker 1: coach the Lakers, because you know, normally, when you offer
Speaker 1: the job to somebody like, you don't want to get
Speaker 1: turned down. You know, you want to make sure that
Speaker 1: if I off of the job, then we're going to
Speaker 1: make sure it's like early decision in college. Hey, we're
Speaker 1: gonna We're gonna admit you, but you got to make
Speaker 1: sure you come here. Okay. It felt like, hey, can
Speaker 1: we get Doc Rivers? Is he interested? Quinn Snyder interested?
Speaker 1: And we interstom Terry Stotts M okay, Darvin Ham is
Speaker 1: our new head coach. I'm like, okay, I'm glad he
Speaker 1: got a chance. It was just it was one of
Speaker 1: those kind of passing bottom line things that woe Chad
Speaker 1: and I went wow. That was kept quiet and really quiet,
Speaker 1: too quiet for me. Eight seven seven three d P

Speaker 1: handle the DP Show. We say good morning to those
Speaker 1: of you watching on Peacock. You can download the app.
Speaker 1: You can watch for free all three hours. Aaron Donald
Speaker 1: says he's at peace with his career if he doesn't
Speaker 1: get a new deal. Just turned thirty one, and he
Speaker 1: says that he could walk away. He's played eight years,
Speaker 1: says he can walk away. He was on the uh
Speaker 1: I Am Athlete podcast with Brandon Marshall, but he says
Speaker 1: he's at peace. And uh, here's Aaron Donald about talking
Speaker 1: about retirement before this year's Super Bowl. Me talking about retirement.
Speaker 1: That was happening to be wait before we want a
Speaker 1: super Bowl. I've been saying that since I got into
Speaker 1: the league. I's gonna play eight years and be done.
Speaker 1: I just, you know, that's just what I've been saying.
Speaker 1: It just it just came out down. Everybody think that,
Speaker 1: you know, Oh, he's saying if he win the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: even retire me. I've been talking. I got teammates, coaches,
Speaker 1: my family know about this, and I said, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: play eight years and I'll probably be done playing football.
Speaker 1: But winning the Super Bowl you got kind of get
Speaker 1: a little addicted to him. I want to show that
Speaker 1: again though I ain't gonna lie. That's like that experience
Speaker 1: is like no, none of them. So if if I
Speaker 1: was to play it just to win another super Bowl.
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, it's still a business,
Speaker 1: and it got to make sense to me and my family,
Speaker 1: all right. He also talked about it's not about the money.
Speaker 1: It ain't about the money. It's a business at the
Speaker 1: end of the day. That's that's what you gotta see.
Speaker 1: So it's about win for me, it's about winning. If
Speaker 1: I don't want to play football, if I can't win anyway,
Speaker 1: So I feel like, if if it were lying and
Speaker 1: I gotta like a real opportunity to win another super Bowl,
Speaker 1: then it makes sense to play. But again, it's still
Speaker 1: a business. We got to handle the business side of things,
Speaker 1: and if if that wasn't to get handled, then you know,
Speaker 1: it is what it is type situation. I will be
Speaker 1: fine regardless. Wait, it is about the money. He waiting
Speaker 1: play that again, it doesn't make any sense. It ain't
Speaker 1: about the money. It's a business at the end of
Speaker 1: the day. That's that's what you gotta see. So it's
Speaker 1: about win. For me, it's about winning. If I don't
Speaker 1: want to play football, if I can't win anyway. So
Speaker 1: I feel like, if if it were lying and I
Speaker 1: gotta like a real opportunity to win another super Bowl,
Speaker 1: then it makes sense to play. But again, it's still
Speaker 1: a business. We got to handle the business side of things,
Speaker 1: and if if that wasn't to get handled, then you know,
Speaker 1: it is what it is. Type of situation. I would
Speaker 1: be fine regardless. Okay, So it is about the money.
Speaker 1: Whenever anybody says it's not about the money, it's about
Speaker 1: the money, because hey, I'm fine walking away, but if
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play again, I want to win, Bob, we
Speaker 1: gotta handle the business side of this. I'm assuming that
Speaker 1: means money. Contract. He's scheduled to make fourteen a little
Speaker 1: over fourteen million dollars. He would be the one hundred
Speaker 1: and second highest ranked paid player in the NFL. His
Speaker 1: average of twenty two point five ranks twenty seventh. Right now,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess he'd like a new contract. Get let's
Speaker 1: take care of the business, and then we're gonna play
Speaker 1: football again. Yeah, play all right. Here's the thing. You're
Speaker 1: the general manager who selected him. You're the general manager
Speaker 1: who runs the Rams. You won. You got Aaron Donald,
Speaker 1: first ballot Hall of Fame, eight years. It was a
Speaker 1: perfect draft pick. I think he was mid first round.
Speaker 1: He never really really got paid. And now he's a
Speaker 1: guy who said I wanted to play eight years. I'm
Speaker 1: thinking about retirement. Maybe deep down the Rams say to themselves, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe he'll do the favorite for us. He's the
Speaker 1: football version of Albert Poohles. Yeah, but imagine if Albert
Speaker 1: said I wanted to play eight Albert had never said that.
Speaker 1: This guy's sang it publicly. Now, the Rams, if they
Speaker 1: wanted to move on and have money for a lot
Speaker 1: of different stuff. They have an opening where, hey, we
Speaker 1: offered him a nice contract. Of course we want him
Speaker 1: to play. But a thirty one year old defensive tackle
Speaker 1: has how many great years left? Great years? And you're
Speaker 1: paying him full boat if you signed his contract demands Yeah,
Speaker 1: because he's gonna go I want to get paid. I'm
Speaker 1: going to guess at least twenty five million a year
Speaker 1: he's gonna I'm gonna guess here. Let's say Aaron Donald
Speaker 1: wants to play four more years, willing to play four
Speaker 1: more years. That'd be he'll be thirty five, So four
Speaker 1: more years. He's probably going to say four years, one
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars, all guaranteed. If you're the Rams, do
Speaker 1: you want that? Now? You got him under contract, but
Speaker 1: you know you gotta make everybody happy, keep him happy.
Speaker 1: And and this has sort of been simmering there since
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl when Rodney Harrison did the interview with
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, you won your Super Bowl. I'm good a
Speaker 1: guess by all accounts, he's a Hall of Famer right now.
Speaker 1: But you've got a chance at let's say a hundred
Speaker 1: million dollars, you're not going to turn that down. The
Speaker 1: question is do the Rams want to offer him that
Speaker 1: is there somewhere in between? How about three years, three
Speaker 1: years at sixty five seventy million, maybe seventy five, three years,
Speaker 1: seventy five, all seventy five guaranteed good. Good. Now we
Speaker 1: took care of the business. Now let's play football game,
Speaker 1: because you're still on a very good team obviously, But
Speaker 1: I don't know what that money does to the salary cap,
Speaker 1: what you can do, what kind of flexibility do you
Speaker 1: have there? Yeah, and you feel like the Rams are
Speaker 1: going to be a competitive team this season coming up, right,
Speaker 1: So if the competitiveness part has already taken care of,
Speaker 1: then yeah, maybe we are just looking at a little
Speaker 1: bit more money if that's something you're gonna need to
Speaker 1: entice Aaron back. I think it's all about us. It's
Speaker 1: all about the money. If it's not about the money,
Speaker 1: then retire. I mean it'd be pretty simple. But at
Speaker 1: fourteen million dollars, the Rams have a bargain. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: tough fire about the Rams. It's not like Aaron Donalds
Speaker 1: is cooled off. He had a sack off in the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Basically, rarely does a player get the sack
Speaker 1: that wins the game. He was all over Olivery Borough.
Speaker 1: I mean, he had nine quarterback hits in four playoff games.
Speaker 1: He's not cooling off, Which that's a real tough one
Speaker 1: not to bring back because the perception is that he
Speaker 1: is our guy. Yeah, but he's gonna want to get
Speaker 1: paid what t J wants getting paid, even though he's older,
Speaker 1: He's gonna want to get paid. Question is you're gonna
Speaker 1: be able to afford that? And if you, you know,
Speaker 1: star players have to understand, Okay, if I get all mine,
Speaker 1: if I get the bag, as we like to say,
Speaker 1: then can we resign Odell Beckham? Can we resign some
Speaker 1: of these other players? Can we go out and get players?
Speaker 1: Then you're taking away from the bottom line of I
Speaker 1: want us to be competitive play for another Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: You might not be able to because you got paid.
Speaker 1: And this is what happens in the NFL where you
Speaker 1: got players who get their money. And then what's that
Speaker 1: mean for the rest of the roster. Yeah, offer Aaron
Speaker 1: Donald two million dollars per sack. Every sack you get,
Speaker 1: we will give you two million dollars. End the season,
Speaker 1: you get fifteen sacks, you get thirty million everybody wins.
Speaker 1: You've bet thirty million dollars for fifteen sacks. If you
Speaker 1: get nine, you get eighteen. Everybody wins better before Aaron Donald,
Speaker 1: I think average is about fifteen sacks a year. I
Speaker 1: think you did twelve and a half last year. That'd
Speaker 1: be kind of fun. Yeah, yeah, more not for his agent.
Speaker 1: That wouldn't go over well his age. But you know what,
Speaker 1: athletes never give back, Like if you overperform, you outperform
Speaker 1: your contract and you're like, hey, I'd like to get
Speaker 1: some more money. It's when you don't and then you go,
Speaker 1: h hey, we'd like to get money and it never
Speaker 1: happens that way. Teams never get money back, but players
Speaker 1: always go, hey, I outperform a contract here. Yeah. See, yeah,
Speaker 1: I can't tell which is which is the better side
Speaker 1: of that. Do you pay for past performance or the
Speaker 1: future possibilities because it's all it's always one or the other. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: you pay off the past a little bit because you
Speaker 1: know that that could be an indication of what you're
Speaker 1: going to get in the future. Like he's been great.
Speaker 1: We hope he's going to continue to be great. Like
Speaker 1: Tyree Hill got paid because we saw him be great.
Speaker 1: With Kansas City. You hope, you better hope he's going
Speaker 1: to be great the next do you see where Tyreek
Speaker 1: hill said that Tua throws the purest ball, prettiest ball,
Speaker 1: And I'm going, did he just play a Patrick Mahomes? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know that's one of those that Hey, if we
Speaker 1: pay you this, will you say nice things about two?
Speaker 1: Hey Towah, he throws the prettiest ball I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for when Tyreek hill Is can call a
Speaker 1: fair catch with some of those passes during a game.
Speaker 1: Then he gets blown up like he's just waiting for
Speaker 1: that ball as it floats up there. Yeah, poet back
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald for a second that if two million dollars
Speaker 1: per sack in his career, he's made ninety eight million
Speaker 1: dollars and he has ninety eight career sacks, so he's
Speaker 1: being paid. He's been paid a million dollars per sack
Speaker 1: up to this point hypothetically, So imagine if he would
Speaker 1: have taken that deal three years ago, he would have
Speaker 1: made way more money by taking two million a sack. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I do find it amazing that we keep looking for
Speaker 1: certain players or the next type of player as an
Speaker 1: edge rusher, a quarterback. You know, we're looking for the
Speaker 1: next Ailes Garrett. We're looking for the next Bosa, t
Speaker 1: J Watt. I have not heard one team go we're
Speaker 1: looking for the next Aaron Donald. He's one of one.
Speaker 1: There's nobody who's liking There's a lot of defensive tackles,
Speaker 1: nose tackles. There's Aaron Donald. That's it. A lot of
Speaker 1: edge rushers, a lot of quarterbacks, a lot of wide receivers.
Speaker 1: There's one Aaron Donald. It's amazing to get twenty sacks
Speaker 1: as a defensive tackle. Everybody knows where you are, Like,
Speaker 1: you can't go, where's he lining up? No, he's right there.
Speaker 1: And it's not like where you go gotta protect the blindside, No,
Speaker 1: it's he's right there, always double teamed always. Yeah. See,
Speaker 1: because you can't say, you know, who is the next
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald's like, who is the next undersized defensive tackle
Speaker 1: that we are really clamoring for it? You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? It just doesn't makes sense. Who's the really
Speaker 1: slow running back that we want? You know, it doesn't No, No,
Speaker 1: I know, but it is amazing. You know that edge rusher. Oh,
Speaker 1: he got off the ball so quickly. Got around the
Speaker 1: tackle and then he gets the sack Aaron Donald and
Speaker 1: can't get off to the ball quickly. There's still two
Speaker 1: guys right there right away immediately, you know, because an
Speaker 1: edge rusher sometimes nobody's gonna hit him coming off the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. Aaron Donald. They hit him right in
Speaker 1: every single play and he disrupts everything. It's like Warren
Speaker 1: Sap up the middle. That's the quarterback's worst night there
Speaker 1: because it's now you make him go right or left.
Speaker 1: Where's the edge rusher? Okay, I see him, I step
Speaker 1: up in the pocket. You got the guy coming up
Speaker 1: the middle. Now it's different, and there have been a
Speaker 1: handful of these players in history, but he him Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer after eight years. Was it three Defensive Players
Speaker 1: of the Year awards, Yeah, Paul, Yeah, he's been. After
Speaker 1: his rookie year he was Defensive Rookie of the Year
Speaker 1: and made the Pro Ball. Since then, he's been first
Speaker 1: team All Pro every year. His worst finish his fifth
Speaker 1: or Defensive Player of the Year. Yeah, it's very much
Speaker 1: like I know. It's not a sexy of a name
Speaker 1: of Quintin Nelson of the Colts. Quinn Nelson is having
Speaker 1: that type of career where pro ball all pro right
Speaker 1: off the snap. And I still go back to the
Speaker 1: conversation I have with his source going into the draft.
Speaker 1: He goes, you know who the best player in the
Speaker 1: draft is NFL scout. I said, Oh, he goes Quentin Neilson.
Speaker 1: I said, believe it, a guard is the best. He
Speaker 1: says he's gonna be a Hall of Famer. And I go,
Speaker 1: and I think he went fifth to the Colts. But
Speaker 1: imagine that the best player is not going to be
Speaker 1: taking number one or two or three, and Quinton Nilson
Speaker 1: is probably going to be a Hall of Famer when
Speaker 1: it's all said and done. All right, we'll take a break.
Speaker 1: Robert Ory will join us Lakers analyst, and we will
Speaker 1: get to more of your phone calls in the final
Speaker 1: hour of the program. We're back after this. Hey, what's up, everybody.

Speaker 1: know that you have a nickname, Big Shot Bob. Is
Speaker 1: there a shot that you didn't make that still haunts
Speaker 1: you to this day? Oh? Yes, man, it's a shot
Speaker 1: that cost me six million dollars if I make this
Speaker 1: shot and my last year as a Laker in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: we indeed we planned the Spurs in San Antonio. I
Speaker 1: had an awful playoffs. I'm not gonna lie I shot
Speaker 1: the ball. I think I was like three ft thirty
Speaker 1: nine from three or something. I was. I was terrible,
Speaker 1: and we were in San Antonio, India building. Kobe Drives
Speaker 1: kicks it to me. I missed that three, so we
Speaker 1: go down three two in this series, we go home,
Speaker 1: would lose that game and the Lakers, don't you know,
Speaker 1: resign me next year, and that would have been my
Speaker 1: big year out of made six million dollars that yesterday.
Speaker 1: That shot cost you a lot of money. Give me
Speaker 1: your thought on the mindset of Jimmy Butler. I know
Speaker 1: you're a better three point shooter than Jimmy, but the
Speaker 1: mindset of wanting the ball in that situation game on
Speaker 1: the line, down two and he takes the three point shot,
Speaker 1: even though he's not a good three point shooter. You know,
Speaker 1: if you have to look at the way a guy's
Speaker 1: playing a game, and Jimmy was rolling, you look at
Speaker 1: him at the previous game. He was rolling, and for me,
Speaker 1: when you have your superstar, a guy who's a heart
Speaker 1: and soul of your team in your building. I'll let
Speaker 1: him take that shot anytime. I think. The only thing
Speaker 1: I would have changed I would have told him to
Speaker 1: slow down a little bit, because in my mind he
Speaker 1: was going a little too fast. Slow down, you know,
Speaker 1: gather yourself a little better and take that shot. Because
Speaker 1: if you look at the shot, everything was on line,
Speaker 1: the form was good, but he came up short. And
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's because head him take any
Speaker 1: time out. So he didn't have you know, he played
Speaker 1: the entire game, and I don't know if that little
Speaker 1: fatigue because if you look at his legs, his lower
Speaker 1: bat was good, but his arm was a little as short.
Speaker 1: He didn't extend as much as he should have. So
Speaker 1: I give him that shot any day at a week. Then,
Speaker 1: But how do you do it where you slow it
Speaker 1: down in a moment where you feel like you have
Speaker 1: to speed up because the game is on the line
Speaker 1: and the ball is reversed to you. But in your
Speaker 1: mind you gotta kind of gather But we think get
Speaker 1: the shot off. You know, it's it's a it's a
Speaker 1: mental thing. And I think when you watch a lot
Speaker 1: of guys who make big shots, like you know, Steph Lebron,
Speaker 1: they don't worry about the time. They do their form.
Speaker 1: You go through your normal routine and you shoot the ball.
Speaker 1: Because if you're thinking time, you're gonna shoot the ball
Speaker 1: in a rush, are you gonna do something that's out
Speaker 1: of ordinary for your shot? And I think with Jimmy,
Speaker 1: even though that was not his ordinary shot, if you
Speaker 1: really break it down frame by frame, you can point
Speaker 1: out two major mistakes he on that shot. For me,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't worry about I don't think. And
Speaker 1: that's the biggest key. You can't think when you're great
Speaker 1: to take a shot down the stretch like that, because
Speaker 1: you know, we do this motion a million times in
Speaker 1: a week. It's shooting the ball so many times, so
Speaker 1: you know it should it should become you know a
Speaker 1: part of you. Well, I watch, you know when Ray
Speaker 1: Allen hit that shot with the Miami Heat against the Spurs,
Speaker 1: like stepping back, like knowing where you are on the
Speaker 1: floor to step back and not step out of bounds
Speaker 1: or not step on the line, understanding where you are
Speaker 1: on the court. I mean, that's what makes that shot
Speaker 1: so crazy. Yes, it's in traffic, game on the line, gather,
Speaker 1: step back, and then know that you're in the position
Speaker 1: you're gonna win the game. That's why he was the
Speaker 1: number one three point two for a long time to
Speaker 1: step fast because his awareness, his ability to understand where
Speaker 1: he is on the court. And that's why those lines,
Speaker 1: the hash marks and everything on the court. And think
Speaker 1: about it. Ray knows how long the length of his
Speaker 1: step is. He knows that he knows what that line is.
Speaker 1: And that's his awareness and the IQ of players and
Speaker 1: we don't talk about that sense of guys you know
Speaker 1: almost knowing, you know the shape of the floor. I
Speaker 1: mean it steps just needs you to get back. And
Speaker 1: these guys are able to step back and take these shots,
Speaker 1: you know, not even looking down. You know they don't
Speaker 1: know exactly where on the court by the angles and
Speaker 1: the measure the measurements on the floor. So you know
Speaker 1: that shot, that reality may was incredible. Also you want
Speaker 1: to you want to go back and look at some
Speaker 1: other guys who was like Reshived Wilens and everybody having
Speaker 1: a foot almost stepping out of bounds. If you go
Speaker 1: back and if you look at that shot that the
Speaker 1: Miami HEATLA I can't think of the name of the
Speaker 1: three point shoot. I think that was a good three.
Speaker 1: I think his football was above the line and he
Speaker 1: didn't step on the line. It's the shadow that was
Speaker 1: on the line. So you know, we can debate that
Speaker 1: for years. We're gonna have to have one of those
Speaker 1: cameras like the football players have, you know, the end
Speaker 1: zone camera where you can see down the line as
Speaker 1: if his foot was really on the line out of
Speaker 1: gave him the three. It's truce. Yeah, we're talking to
Speaker 1: Robert Ore the Lakers analysts. Your thoughts on bringing in
Speaker 1: a rookie head coach given the situation with your Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Lakers. You know, at one point every coach was
Speaker 1: a rookie coach and they have to get you have
Speaker 1: to give him a chance. You look at Tyler Tyler's
Speaker 1: first championship. He was a rookie coach and nobody's talking
Speaker 1: about that. And I think a lot of people is
Speaker 1: looking at the makeup of this team. You got strong
Speaker 1: minded individuals with Lebron A d and Russ. Would Darvin
Speaker 1: Ham be able to hand on this group? I think so,
Speaker 1: because when you have the statue in the makeup of
Speaker 1: Darvin Ham. Players are going to, you know, pay attention
Speaker 1: because think about it. If I put you in a
Speaker 1: dark alley, you see Darvin Ham come around the corner,
Speaker 1: you gonna run the other way and so. And I
Speaker 1: think that has a lot to do it. And I
Speaker 1: think he has. He's been around a game a long time.
Speaker 1: He's played the game, he's coached the game, and I
Speaker 1: think a lot of guys respect that. If you look
Speaker 1: around the league, most of the most respected coaches are
Speaker 1: guys who've been involved in NBA from playing and coaching
Speaker 1: for a long period of time. And plus, you know,
Speaker 1: he was my pick from day one. I thought either
Speaker 1: him or Sam Cassell or my picks, and I think
Speaker 1: Darvin Ham because of his ability, you know, to bring
Speaker 1: in another player eventually down the line, maybe for the Lakers,
Speaker 1: it might be a plus for him. Now. I just
Speaker 1: wanted bringing in Darvin Haham into a situation where lebronje
Speaker 1: or older Ad is fragile and I got Russell Westbrook,
Speaker 1: who can't be the player that he once was, and
Speaker 1: I can't change him. You don't have depth, you don't
Speaker 1: have money. With the salary cut like this is pretty
Speaker 1: I wanted I was hoping that Darwinham would get into
Speaker 1: a better situation for his first head coaching job. You know,
Speaker 1: I agree with that, But still though, think about this.
Speaker 1: If he goes everybody's look at him to go into
Speaker 1: the situation to fail. What if he gets these guys
Speaker 1: to the Western Conference final? Is that success for him?
Speaker 1: Does that like wow, now he looks that much better.
Speaker 1: It's so many times we looked at things in a
Speaker 1: negative like, well, this is not a good situation. From
Speaker 1: why not he got ad he's healthy, one of the
Speaker 1: best players, Lebron, one of the best players that ever
Speaker 1: played this game. If you're able to get some pieces
Speaker 1: or you know, trick, some people say, hey, yo, take
Speaker 1: less money, come play two years, get your championship and
Speaker 1: then we get you know, and that's that's gonna be
Speaker 1: up to Rob Polinka to get guys to come in.
Speaker 1: But I think when you got three guys like that,
Speaker 1: that that dominant. They can stay healthy, you might be
Speaker 1: to you know, surprise some people. And Darvin Ham good situation, great,
Speaker 1: great players to play with, but they just gotta stay healthy.
Speaker 1: So don't go into situation thinking negative. For Darvin Ham,
Speaker 1: go in the situation thinking positive. That he can bring
Speaker 1: something to this team because if you think about it,
Speaker 1: you watch Darvin Ham play. He played with a ferocity
Speaker 1: and the nastiness. If that can carry over, you know,
Speaker 1: that can be great for the Lakers. How do the
Speaker 1: Warriors not win the championship? If someone gets hurt, you know,
Speaker 1: if someone's get hurt, or you get the young the
Speaker 1: new two point those Splash Brothers. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: Tatum and Brown to play, you know, extraordinary. But if
Speaker 1: it's a great matchup though, you know, if you look
Speaker 1: at these two guys, you know, Brown is that guy
Speaker 1: you don't know what you're gonna get each and every game.
Speaker 1: He's gonna hit threes or he's gonna get to the bucket.
Speaker 1: He's almost like a poor man's Clay. Clay is a
Speaker 1: better three point shooter, but Clay can't get to the
Speaker 1: bucket like he used to be due to all the injuries.
Speaker 1: But I think it's it's it's gonna be a good series.
Speaker 1: People thinking the Splash Brothers with Draymond gonna have an
Speaker 1: easy cake walk because of all the leadership and they've
Speaker 1: been there, done that before. Don't count on that, because
Speaker 1: if you look at the Celtics, and then way Emay,
Speaker 1: who is a rookie coach who took over a team
Speaker 1: that's almost like the Lakers was and got him to
Speaker 1: the finals, you know what I mean. So he made
Speaker 1: one of my teammates I played with the Spurs. You know,
Speaker 1: I hate to say this as a Laker guy, but
Speaker 1: I'm kind of rooting for him. You know, guys that
Speaker 1: I played with I always root for. There's nobody on
Speaker 1: that team that I played with over there on the
Speaker 1: Warriors team, So I have to root for Emay because
Speaker 1: there's only many, so many guys that I played with
Speaker 1: still involved in the game. So I think, you know,
Speaker 1: Boston might look up and win this team because they
Speaker 1: got some guys who don't know no better. What I
Speaker 1: mean by that is they're just gonna play. You know,
Speaker 1: they ain't worried about who I'm not supposed when I'm
Speaker 1: I'm so, They're just gonna play. You played with a team,
Speaker 1: played with Shock, played with Duncan. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: include Kobe in this. The question I'm gonna have is
Speaker 1: you can start your team with a team Shock or Duncan.
Speaker 1: You know it's you have to give me a year?
Speaker 1: What their prime I got you know, I love Dream.
Speaker 1: I love Dream, but you know, he was He's always
Speaker 1: gonna be the better player of the three. But if
Speaker 1: I'm a starter team, I gotta go with Shock because
Speaker 1: Shock is just so freaking dominant. You think, at the
Speaker 1: year one MVP, I don't think there was a person
Speaker 1: in the world I could guard him. You know, you
Speaker 1: just had to be know, go in the lab and
Speaker 1: make up a player to guard him. He was just
Speaker 1: so dominant, you know, for that one year. You know.
Speaker 1: But if I have to go for a longevity, I
Speaker 1: have to go with Dreams. And everybody you know in
Speaker 1: San Antonio thinks I'm san Antonio here because I don't
Speaker 1: pick Tim. You know, Tim is a hell of a player.
Speaker 1: But for me, the guy who took me on his
Speaker 1: wing and mentored me, the guy grew up loving you know,
Speaker 1: Hakimolija one, I have to go with him. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna take Tim down because he's younger than me. I
Speaker 1: ain't goinghbody younger than me. I tell people that Tim
Speaker 1: Duncan has a great sense of humor. He's a funny guy,
Speaker 1: but he never ever shows him it's dry as he Yeah,
Speaker 1: if he lets you in its he you're going to
Speaker 1: see a great guy. But it's you know, that window
Speaker 1: is small. You know, you have to be a Tom
Speaker 1: Brady to fit that pass through that hole. Really and
Speaker 1: that's Tim. You know, if he lets you in your circle,
Speaker 1: he's really cool. But then you got to stay in
Speaker 1: that circle by doing three things. You gotta play video games,
Speaker 1: you gotta play poker, and you gotta talk about cars.
Speaker 1: If you don't talk about doing three things, you would
Speaker 1: be out the circle. You know, people to have Shock
Speaker 1: stories where Shock would come out on the floor naked
Speaker 1: with just his shoes on. Yes, you can confirm that.
Speaker 1: I could confirm that we're sitting there and we getting
Speaker 1: ready for a playoff game. I think it was gonna
Speaker 1: playing Portland, and we like we huddled up in cinem corner.
Speaker 1: Everybody like where Shock, Oh he's getting treatment. And then
Speaker 1: next thing though, he comes running out there with his
Speaker 1: shoes on but naked, you know, like you know, trying
Speaker 1: to light the move, because that's you have to have
Speaker 1: those moments, man. You know, sometimes you could be so
Speaker 1: intense and you have to have someone to light the move.
Speaker 1: But Shaq is funny. You know, even if you show
Speaker 1: you know, if you look at Rick Fox's Instagram. You
Speaker 1: see one picture with Rickson are doing the interview and
Speaker 1: Shaq puols his pants up into his butt crack and
Speaker 1: standing with his button next to Rick. So you know
Speaker 1: he was just a fun guy man. But you know
Speaker 1: a lot of guys don't know how to turn it
Speaker 1: on turn it off. The shot could go from the
Speaker 1: clown to the killer in two seconds. If you could have,
Speaker 1: you could have Barkley's career or your career. You know,
Speaker 1: due to the fact that Mark Barkler made more money
Speaker 1: to me, I chake the money now, you know. I'm
Speaker 1: just kidding. I'm kidding. You know, you come into this
Speaker 1: game about winning, and for me to in seven championships
Speaker 1: in sixteen years and as an incredible run. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: even even though I didn't make as much money as Barkley,
Speaker 1: I would take my career in a minute because that
Speaker 1: shows you it's not about the money for me. I
Speaker 1: think you made more than Barkley did. Well, Paulie, check
Speaker 1: and see what Robert made. I don't want to call
Speaker 1: Roberts finances, but I have Charles barkley career salary at
Speaker 1: forty four million dollars. Okay, I made more money than Charles. Well,
Speaker 1: I take my career. That was easy, you know. You
Speaker 1: know the only thing I had to say is did
Speaker 1: Charles have one thing I do? Wish I would have?
Speaker 1: You know, my I only had one goal coming up
Speaker 1: as a high school I was to make the Olympic team.
Speaker 1: And I thought my best opportunity was in nineteen ninety two,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the dream team comes in
Speaker 1: and like man, the college students. That was me. That
Speaker 1: was my goal. And so Charles took that dream from me.
Speaker 1: So that's why I still even though he went to Auburn,
Speaker 1: there's two strikes against the waiting on that third. I
Speaker 1: know you're joining this courtesy of bet online. What is
Speaker 1: the best bet for the NBA Finals? You know, for me,
Speaker 1: I think the best bet would go with the Celtics
Speaker 1: because you got to go with the ods I think,
Speaker 1: you know, the Celtics are are thirteen a plus one
Speaker 1: one thirty in this game, and for me, you know,
Speaker 1: why not go with the Odz. And because here's the thing,
Speaker 1: Golden State doesn't have a deep bench. The Celtics is
Speaker 1: a team that don't know they're not supposed to win.
Speaker 1: They got Tatum probably one of the best young stars
Speaker 1: out of John Moran that can go off for fifty
Speaker 1: points to any point, you know, and you know it's like,
Speaker 1: go go with the ods man, go go go with
Speaker 1: the celt That's what I would do, Okay, if I
Speaker 1: said long shot MVP. You know, we saw this Golden
Speaker 1: State team with Igu Dolla winning the MVP years ago.
Speaker 1: Is there an Igu Dolla that you could see winning
Speaker 1: this long gerage? Yes, you know the guy who really
Speaker 1: saved them again the Dallas series, Wiggins Andrew Wiggins. He's
Speaker 1: a twenty to one and that's the one I would
Speaker 1: go with because thinking about you just take one guy
Speaker 1: to get high. And we know the NBA likes Seal
Speaker 1: still in the NBP from Steph Curry. He might steal
Speaker 1: it again. But but you know what, if they win
Speaker 1: it though, there's no way the NBA will say we're
Speaker 1: not gonna give it to Curry again unless someone like
Speaker 1: you know, Wiggins goes off for crazy points or or
Speaker 1: you know, the guy who I always love and play,
Speaker 1: Thompson goes off. But you have to play the odds
Speaker 1: man twenty to one with Wiggins. Great to talk to
Speaker 1: you again, Robert. Thanks for joining us man, you know,
Speaker 1: there's always a pleasure to talk to you. Thanks for
Speaker 1: having me on Than's Robert Dory, Lakers analysts or Spectrum Sportsnet,
Speaker 1: and courtesy of bet Online. A couple of phone calls
Speaker 1: in here before we take a break. Sean in New York, Hey, Sean,
Speaker 1: thanks for holding What do you have for me today?
Speaker 1: The problem? Then? I have the best and worst of
Speaker 1: the weekends. So I Game seven of the Heat and
Speaker 1: Celtics streaming entirely from the above the remview and listening
Speaker 1: to the natural crowd ambience arena announcer. It was very refreshing.
Speaker 1: It felt like that the game and getting a feel
Speaker 1: for the game on your own, no analysis from the announcers,
Speaker 1: no replaced so you're really just making your own judgment calls,
Speaker 1: and as a reasonably informed fan, I felt like I
Speaker 1: was reconnecting with the game on a deeper level. Highly
Speaker 1: recommend you and the guys watching that at least one
Speaker 1: game or at least a quarter of a game of
Speaker 1: a pretty high importance from that view. All right, well,
Speaker 1: thank you, Sean. Jonathan in Portland, Hey Jonathan, Hey DP,
Speaker 1: how's it going good? Bun? Hey? So best and worst
Speaker 1: of the weekend no worse than the holiday weekend. Best

Speaker 1: with two categories for you and the boys passed away
Speaker 1: too Soon and still living today? For passed away too soon?
Speaker 1: Who made more Heath Ledger or chat Wick Boseman, And

Speaker 1: and hang up and listen. All right, thank you, Jonathan.
Speaker 1: I had to host this game. I've never heard of. Yes,
Speaker 1: like something I would do. Um. I feel like Lindsay
Speaker 1: Lohan doesn't have any money left from her career, but
Speaker 1: that's what she earned. She only had a couple big movies.
Speaker 1: I think McAuley he had some hammers. Yeah, but I
Speaker 1: don't know what he got out of those movies. Career
Speaker 1: Sellary Game McAuley Culkin, Yeah, uh, because Lindsay Lohan did
Speaker 1: the Freaky Fridays. Don't act like you don't know she
Speaker 1: did Parent Trap. Yes, she's also doing like Planet Fitness commercials.
Speaker 1: Why I saw that? But that makes you wonder No, no,
Speaker 1: but I'm talking about when she was acting. She's not
Speaker 1: acting now. I'm just wondering what her financial situation of
Speaker 1: just popping up in this Planet Fitness commercial. Thank you
Speaker 1: to y I have during his prime earning years, Mcaulay
Speaker 1: Culkim between eighty nine and ninety four, which he was
Speaker 1: under fifteen years old, made about twenty five million dollars. Okay,
Speaker 1: he's more than I thought. Movies okay. And then Lindsay Lohan,
Speaker 1: Ye had to vam for a minute. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: let me take a break for something this important than
Speaker 1: to make sure that we have the appropriate amount of tone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got check by sources and check in with Billy
Speaker 1: Bush and Access Hingwood. Kevin Fresh. Yes, I don't know
Speaker 1: if he led your hit prime earning potential Chadwick Boseman
Speaker 1: Junior the third though he had he had a great run. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know when they'll hold off, Poulie. I know that
Speaker 1: I saw you grab your forehead. Here, let's take a break,
Speaker 1: come back, lass call for phone calls. What we learned
Speaker 1: wats in store tomorrow after this. Fox Sports Radio has
Speaker 1: the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all
Speaker 1: of our shows at Fox Sports Radio dot com and
Speaker 1: within the iHeartRadio app. Search f SR to listen live.
Speaker 1: Last call for phone calls. What we learned, What's in
Speaker 1: store tomorrow? Final results to the pole question. I forgot
Speaker 1: the poll question seton. We had a couple of them
Speaker 1: working down all right. We had a better nicknamed Big
Speaker 1: Shot Bob around Mount a rebound Chuck Wagons winning that one,
Speaker 1: all right, and then we also threw up there. Jimmy
Speaker 1: Butler's shot was a good shot with bad result or
Speaker 1: a bad shot bad result, and that seventy percent is
Speaker 1: a good shot bad result. Okay, I'm fine with it.
Speaker 1: I'm fine with it. After hearing Robert Ory say no,
Speaker 1: he liked it. He thought that he looked good, but
Speaker 1: he rushed it a little bit. And a lot of
Speaker 1: times you short arm things if you feel like you
Speaker 1: don't have enough time, and Robert was talking about the extension.
Speaker 1: Plus Jimmy Butler played all forty eight minutes and fatigue
Speaker 1: might have factored in there a little bit. This day
Speaker 1: in sports history, OH career salary Jonathan in Portland gave
Speaker 1: us the great question, Lindsay Lohan, McAuley Culkin, career salary, salary, salary,
Speaker 1: any excuse to play this? Any excuse? All right? Who
Speaker 1: made more money? McAuley Culkin or Lindsey Lohan. Now McCauley
Speaker 1: Culkin basically wrapped up his major film career by the
Speaker 1: age of fourteen. He was retired at fourteen, which is
Speaker 1: nuts to think about. At eighteen years old, he was
Speaker 1: handed in a meeting a slip of paper that told
Speaker 1: him his net worth. Okay, and Lindsay Lohan, I have
Speaker 1: hers as well. Who wants to guess first? Who made
Speaker 1: more before the age of twenty one? Well, Jonathan said,
Speaker 1: you'd be surprised, but I have to go with McAuley
Speaker 1: Coulkin and see lohand made more money at twenty eight
Speaker 1: million dollars. We see, then I should have followed what
Speaker 1: he said, You'd be surprised. But Kaulakulkin estimated made twenty
Speaker 1: five million dollars. He did not see his finances until
Speaker 1: he turned eighteen, and he was told he had I
Speaker 1: think eighteen million or nineteen. Others Heath Ledger or Chadwick Boseman,
Speaker 1: um so career salary with that better career. It's Chadwick Boseman.
Speaker 1: But Heath Ledger was in wasn't any of the like
Speaker 1: A Medieval Nights something, a Night's Tale in? Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: he was, Yes, I don't know what else he was in.
Speaker 1: He was Joker, Yeah, Man, Broke Back Mountain. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, yeah, all right, yeah, Paul, I don't remember
Speaker 1: if Heath Ledger was in any of those like Avenger movies.
Speaker 1: I think it was before his time. Is if you're
Speaker 1: in one of those Avenger or superhero movies, you make
Speaker 1: a lot of bank. And that's why I think it
Speaker 1: might be Bozeman. All right, Yeah, Chadwick Boseman. He that
Speaker 1: Black Panther money. Yeah. I don't think he got a
Speaker 1: lot in salary, but I think he got some of
Speaker 1: that back end money and that mads well over a
Speaker 1: billion dollars, just pretty good money. Yeah, all right, that's
Speaker 1: a good question. We appreciate that Lindsay Lohan in Mean
Speaker 1: Girls made a million dollars for each Mean Girls. What
Speaker 1: about Freaky Friday five hundred and fifty thousand dollars. I
Speaker 1: think that was a Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen
Speaker 1: she'd be about the age where she could do mean
Speaker 1: girls too and be the mom right, no offense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's yeah, good being all right, que it up? Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, all right, okay, all right. Uh, I haven't
Speaker 1: unbelievable this day in sports history, but Paulie, I don't
Speaker 1: want to infringe on you. Fritzie does. Yeah. I don't
Speaker 1: know how that worked where Fritzie wanted to do scoreboard,
Speaker 1: which is basically this day in sports history. But PAULI
Speaker 1: was doing this day in sports history prior to you
Speaker 1: doing snore boards. And I don't intend to, but sometimes
Speaker 1: it works out the way I'll do birthdays or if
Speaker 1: something you know, a year or a jersey number, I
Speaker 1: try to mix it up a little bit. So it's
Speaker 1: not eighteen seventy nine Dan, New York's first Madison Square

Speaker 1: for a team, the Schenectady Blue Jays. This former manager
Speaker 1: struck out twenty five batters in fifteen innings. He ended
Speaker 1: the game with a walk off base hit in the
Speaker 1: bottom of the fifteenth. Anybody want to guess former manager
Speaker 1: had been a guest on the show a few times?
Speaker 1: So past tense. Former manager struck out twenty five in
Speaker 1: fifteen innings, left handed anymore friends of Frank Sinatra? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And was he considered a legend with the particular team
Speaker 1: that he was with? Yes, only one team? What year,
Speaker 1: nineteen forty eight? But this manager was a manager, a
Speaker 1: legendary manager with one team, the only team he ever managed.
Speaker 1: I'd be cheating because I saw it, because I was
Speaker 1: looking at this. But then men don't answer it. That's
Speaker 1: why I'm not gonna give me. Tommy Lasorda, Tommy Lasorda
Speaker 1: bringing cheese, striking out twenty five and fifteen in it's
Speaker 1: pretty good. I'd have nine pitchers pitching fifteen Yeah, you go.
