Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. They call it social distancing, a concept that
Speaker 1: some members of The Dan Patrick Show have been practicing
Speaker 1: for years. I remember this girl going gross get away
Speaker 1: from me. Some members of the show struggle giving people
Speaker 1: personal space. I think we all need to hug as
Speaker 1: often as possible, and a break after the show before
Speaker 1: the show. Never with you ever, but with recent events,
Speaker 1: it's important to remember that The Dan Patrick Show is
Speaker 1: available with no human interaction, none, no no. So listen
Speaker 1: on your radio, via podcast or even YouTube dot com slash.
Speaker 1: The Dan Patrick Show a safe place to go. So
Speaker 1: welcome to the Dan Patrick Show, temporarily not working from

Speaker 1: week of vacation. They'll be back on Monday. And Rob,
Speaker 1: you and I spent the last hour arguing about the
Speaker 1: National Football League and Tom Brady. And you know I
Speaker 1: said already in my timeline people are hashtag and stuff
Speaker 1: with h Boat, which is the boat. You're the boat
Speaker 1: right now, that's right, the hay this brother of all time.

Speaker 1: like that, Rob Parker. Now are you doing your show

Speaker 1: the odd couple and seven to ten pm Eastern, so yes,
Speaker 1: double dipping. Are you doing a show? Are you off tonight? No,
Speaker 1: I'm off. I did the show last night and I
Speaker 1: got done at eleven, and now I was back on
Speaker 1: this morning, so I'm actually off tonight. It's a quick
Speaker 1: turnaround time. It's one of those things where I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to bed, and now the alarm clock
Speaker 1: goes off at Oh, now I'm up again and I'm
Speaker 1: doing another show. Okay. It's it's doing nine hours of
Speaker 1: radio in a in a fifteen hour span. It's oh yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a lot of un and we've done a number
Speaker 1: of shows together filling in and it's always fun. So
Speaker 1: buckle up for the next two hours. We've still got
Speaker 1: more to go. We got more NFL on the way,
Speaker 1: but the NBA for a bit here as look, every day,
Speaker 1: I get we're still only a couple weeks into this
Speaker 1: coronavirus and isolation, and everybody's cutting kind of antsy. They
Speaker 1: want to know when things are going to return to normal,
Speaker 1: even though you know, we keep being urged cautioned by
Speaker 1: the experts, which always listen to the experts, you know,
Speaker 1: because and because sports is still the live sports that
Speaker 1: we that we are used to getting every day, it's
Speaker 1: still very fresh in our minds, you know, the talk
Speaker 1: about them coming back dominates every single day. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's weird. I don't know that we can keep having
Speaker 1: conversations every day as to when sports are going to
Speaker 1: come back, as it coming back today. But we're getting
Speaker 1: new plans at least to pass the time from the NBA,
Speaker 1: from the NHL, from Major League Baseball as they try
Speaker 1: to figure out what their plans are to when they
Speaker 1: do resume playing. And you know, of all the things
Speaker 1: we've heard the past the past few days about what's
Speaker 1: going to happen with the NBA because the NBA. I
Speaker 1: think everybody is looking to the NBA to be the
Speaker 1: leaders here because look, the NBA shut down the United
Speaker 1: States because of Rudy Gobert. Once Rudy Gobert's positive test
Speaker 1: was out, we had no sports. That was the last
Speaker 1: night of sports. Then the next day we started to
Speaker 1: realize that we weren't having it for a while. Isolation
Speaker 1: started and we really dealt with the coronavirus head on,
Speaker 1: because that was the big talking point for it. The
Speaker 1: NBA ke putting out ideas of Hey, this is what
Speaker 1: we can do to continue to play and maybe finish
Speaker 1: this season. And it's really admirable with all these plans,
Speaker 1: and the big one this week has been, Hey, we're
Speaker 1: gonna go to Vegas and we're gonna put the players
Speaker 1: in kind of a quarantine and they're gonna finish the
Speaker 1: season somehow, whether it's everybody plays at least, you know,
Speaker 1: three games to finish their quote regular season and then
Speaker 1: have the playoffs in Vegas. And I get that this
Speaker 1: is very ambitious and I understand this, but Rob, do
Speaker 1: you think this is a feasible thing to see? The
Speaker 1: NBA actually playing in Vegas to finish the season like that.
Speaker 1: I just don't see it. I understand why they want
Speaker 1: to get the season back on. They've already lost a
Speaker 1: ton of money from the incident with Darl Morey and
Speaker 1: the China situation early this year, remember that Jason that
Speaker 1: hurt the NBA, and now to lose the TV money
Speaker 1: that goes with these games and playoffs. So I get it. Financially,
Speaker 1: they want a season. They want to and they're coming
Speaker 1: up with all these ideas, no fans and we'll will
Speaker 1: sequester all the players and they'll all be in the
Speaker 1: same spot. But I don't know if they can guarantee
Speaker 1: that people will still be safe in that environment, because
Speaker 1: it's not about Jason. Ten players, a basketball, a referee,
Speaker 1: and two coaches. There's a lot of support people that
Speaker 1: also have to be involved in order to make a
Speaker 1: basketball game, a professional basketball game run, And there's just
Speaker 1: a chance. What if you have these guys there and
Speaker 1: somebody has a family emergency right and they have to
Speaker 1: leave to go see their family or circumstance or situation.
Speaker 1: There's so many other things that are that are involved
Speaker 1: that I can't believe that players are going to sign
Speaker 1: off on it. I know they want to make their money.
Speaker 1: I know the league wants to make its money, but
Speaker 1: I think it's far fetched. Jeff Van Gundhi, of course,
Speaker 1: an ESPN analyst for the NBA, says he thinks the
Speaker 1: season will be canceled ultimately that to try to get
Speaker 1: players back in shape and ready to go. When Jason,
Speaker 1: if you're looking at three months of not playing, remember,
Speaker 1: unless you have a gym in your home, and most
Speaker 1: guys don't, even as rich as they are, most people
Speaker 1: don't you know, you can't work out. Uh, And then
Speaker 1: a lot of guys are are you out of shape
Speaker 1: because you're not going to the gym, you can't do
Speaker 1: the things that you want to do. I just think
Speaker 1: it's far fetched. Well, I look at two things that
Speaker 1: tell me this is this is not gonna happen and
Speaker 1: and and one is are they really gonna be in
Speaker 1: isolation and quarantine? Are really gonna go to Vegas? And
Speaker 1: that's gonna be their lives? You're not gonna see anybody,
Speaker 1: You're not gonna go out, You're gonna play a game
Speaker 1: and go to the hotel. You're gonna be by yourself.
Speaker 1: You're just just gonna be with the guys on your team,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna be isolated away from your family and
Speaker 1: everybody else for the next month or month and a
Speaker 1: half or whatever it's gonna be. I don't see that
Speaker 1: as being something the players want. I don't see every
Speaker 1: team wanting to continue the season. If you're a team
Speaker 1: that's that's that's at the bottom of the standings, and
Speaker 1: you know, if you're the Hawks or the Knicks or
Speaker 1: the Warriors or a team like that, and it's and it's, hey,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go play three games to end this season.
Speaker 1: I think some of those teams are gonna go, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, we're not sold on that. I don't know
Speaker 1: that it's going to be safe. And none of our
Speaker 1: guys really want to go do this, so we're not
Speaker 1: going to go play. I mean, I can see and
Speaker 1: I can see NBA players saying that. And the players
Speaker 1: are way more powerful than they are in any other sport.
Speaker 1: Adam Silver has elevated the players almost two. There's two commissioners.
Speaker 1: There's Silver and his co commissioner or Lebron James, and
Speaker 1: the NBA players, and they're the ones that are going
Speaker 1: to make the decision on this. But you know, with
Speaker 1: that being said, just the fact that I don't know
Speaker 1: that you're going to be able to take players and
Speaker 1: tell them that listen, it's not safe to have the crowds,
Speaker 1: but it's safe for you guys to play against each
Speaker 1: other where you guys are banging and you are swapping
Speaker 1: body fluids and that's okay. I don't think players are
Speaker 1: going to be down for that, because look at what
Speaker 1: the Chinese Basketball Association did earlier this week. Started up,
Speaker 1: they try but what did they realize. Wait, there's too
Speaker 1: many people that could be asymptomatic of the virus and
Speaker 1: they still could spread it. We have to push it back.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a really big thing that players. Once
Speaker 1: we get to the point of coming back. I get
Speaker 1: that the players now are like, yeah, we're we're ready,
Speaker 1: We're loaded on coming back. You know, we really want
Speaker 1: to play, We want to keep this going. But what
Speaker 1: it gets down to it and the NBA says, Okay,
Speaker 1: here are the games, and we have to do this
Speaker 1: to make it really really super safe. Players are gonna
Speaker 1: falter on that and they're gonna waiver and go oh,
Speaker 1: but is it really super safe or do we need
Speaker 1: to wait a little bit longer and make sure this
Speaker 1: thing doesn't come back. And I'm not at any risk entirely.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of players, when it comes down
Speaker 1: to it, are gonna go. Yeah. I don't know about that.
Speaker 1: I think we need a little bit more time, and
Speaker 1: suddenly that's going to throw the NBA's plan up in chaos.
Speaker 1: All of those things I see is happening before the
Speaker 1: NBA tips anything off in Vegas. Yeah, I'm with you,
Speaker 1: and I think ultimately, you know, the players will will
Speaker 1: of course, because once they decide that they're not doing it,
Speaker 1: it's all over. You know. Um, I thought you saw
Speaker 1: that and you and you even mentioned about some teams
Speaker 1: not being down with it as well. I could see that.
Speaker 1: Remember the NCAA March Madness Tournament got canceled. You know
Speaker 1: when it got canceled, Jason, It got canceled when Kansas
Speaker 1: and Duke said, that's nice, you can have the tournament,
Speaker 1: but we're not coming. Do you remember that. Then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, oh yeah, wait a minute, yeah, we
Speaker 1: better cancel it. Because they were trying everything. Oh let's
Speaker 1: do it without the fans, let's do this, let's do that.
Speaker 1: They were trying. They wanted the money from CBS and
Speaker 1: T n T and TB. I get it, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of money at stake, but you can't there's no
Speaker 1: price you can put on players safety and their health.
Speaker 1: And again three months if if it is three months
Speaker 1: later that you have to sit out, what kind of
Speaker 1: basketball are we getting? Are we putting people in harm's way?
Speaker 1: Jason that they hadn't played in three months and now
Speaker 1: we're trying to restart the basketball season. I don't I
Speaker 1: think that's good. You know, it's funny you say that
Speaker 1: the Dan Patrick Show Jason Smith and Rob Parker in
Speaker 1: for Dan and the Dan Nets, because that's kind of
Speaker 1: was Rick Buker's big point this week Fox Sports one
Speaker 1: NBA insider who went on Colin Coward Show and said, Hey,
Speaker 1: I don't think Lebron actually wants any part of the
Speaker 1: playoffs and some of the things he's been saying to
Speaker 1: an interview with Richard Jefferson in his road Trip and
Speaker 1: podcast last week, saying that, well, I don't want to
Speaker 1: play if we don't have fans. What's it going to
Speaker 1: be like if I'm going for a loose ball against
Speaker 1: somebody who had coronavirus. Am I going to think twice
Speaker 1: about it? And it just doesn't seem like he's as
Speaker 1: into the playoffs as you know, you think he would be.
Speaker 1: And you know, Rick Buker and said that, listen, Lebron
Speaker 1: just doesn't want to restart again because now the Lakers
Speaker 1: are at a real kind of disadvantage, and you know,
Speaker 1: Lebron is just kind of everything that he's saying comes
Speaker 1: from that space right now is okay. Now after having
Speaker 1: whatever kind of time off, here's a veteran team, and
Speaker 1: I have to try to get my body back at
Speaker 1: you know, thirty five years old, to get me back
Speaker 1: to where I need to be. It's going to be
Speaker 1: too tough. And every time, you know, Lebron talks and
Speaker 1: he says stuff like we talked about the other night,
Speaker 1: putting out his best highlights of all time on social
Speaker 1: media and doing some kind of chat about it, I
Speaker 1: feel like Lebron is just, you know, he's sitting at
Speaker 1: home and he's talking, and I wonder how much he
Speaker 1: wants to continue on with the playoffs, and how much
Speaker 1: any player wants to continue on with the playoffs when
Speaker 1: it's all said and done, if they're really thinking about, Okay,
Speaker 1: is it really that important to play this season versus
Speaker 1: being safe and then coming back when we get absolutely
Speaker 1: clean bill of health, which could be next year. And
Speaker 1: the other part is, while Lebron maybe doesn't want to
Speaker 1: restart the team in his way, the Clippers, those guys
Speaker 1: probably have gotten healthy. They're younger, do you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? They were the ones who weren't playing their
Speaker 1: full team or roster and they have been rusted. So
Speaker 1: when they come back, they're gonna be an even better
Speaker 1: shape because they've gotten the time off to get healthy.
Speaker 1: So I agree, I don't. I don't think that that's
Speaker 1: going to be something Lebron wants to even deal with now.
Speaker 1: When it comes to Lebron and his or his normal
Speaker 1: social media outpourings that usually come late at night somewhere,
Speaker 1: whether it's a podcast or him online because he's bored.
Speaker 1: I know you're not a big fan of him going
Speaker 1: forward with this. Hey, here's some of my best highlights
Speaker 1: of all time, and I'm gonna put this out there
Speaker 1: and take questions and go over some of the big
Speaker 1: moments of my career. Not at all. And Jason, when
Speaker 1: I heard that, originally I thought to myself. Here's Lebron
Speaker 1: James trying to upstage Michael Jordan. And because ESPN had
Speaker 1: just announced that they were what moving up the ten
Speaker 1: part documentary right about that final championship year, right with
Speaker 1: the Bulls. So I thought to myself, you know, Lebron
Speaker 1: is convinced that he was to go. Remember when he
Speaker 1: came back from the three one deficit to the Warriors.
Speaker 1: That's when he proclaimed that he was the goat and
Speaker 1: he knew it. Not that most people think that he
Speaker 1: is the goat. Most believe Michael Jordan is. But this
Speaker 1: is a chance for him too. When everybody is like,
Speaker 1: you know, like all the Lebron minions who refuse to
Speaker 1: acknowledge Michael Jordan as the greatest of all time, you know,
Speaker 1: they can watch Jordan's thing, and then Lebron puts out
Speaker 1: his highlights. We'll remember when I did this, Remember when
Speaker 1: I went against this team. So it just seemed kind
Speaker 1: of suspicious to me that right after that he decides
Speaker 1: that he wanted to do and remember the whole thing
Speaker 1: was half baked because he hasn't even really thought it out.
Speaker 1: Am I gonna put it on Instagram? Maybe I'll just
Speaker 1: hold on to it, maybe I'll do it later. Just
Speaker 1: the whole notion that he put it out there without
Speaker 1: really going through it or thinking about it or saying, hey,
Speaker 1: I've been working on this for a while. Maybe because
Speaker 1: content is low, this might be the time. It just
Speaker 1: seemed suspicious and maybe I'm one of those guys. But
Speaker 1: that was the first thing I thought of, why is
Speaker 1: he coming out with this now, especially with the Jordan
Speaker 1: The Jordan the ten part documentary, ten part documentary. So see,
Speaker 1: I take it from a different perspective on it because
Speaker 1: I disagree on on Lebron doing this to upstage Jordan.
Speaker 1: Is a lot of times when he says something, I
Speaker 1: think he's saying it because he's very calculated. Look, Lebron
Speaker 1: always is is calculated about what he has to say.
Speaker 1: And the stuff about starting the season, I think is him,
Speaker 1: you know, sending a big flare up, telling Adam Silver
Speaker 1: you know it just because you guys want to start
Speaker 1: this season up so bad. Doesn't mean all of us
Speaker 1: players are going to be down for it when it happens.
Speaker 1: But then there's times where I think, like Lebron just
Speaker 1: does things and says things, and it's part of who
Speaker 1: Lebron has been his career where sometimes he just says
Speaker 1: stuff that's a bad idea and is polarizing, you know.
Speaker 1: And that's that's one thing you can say for Lebron,
Speaker 1: whether he was nineteen or twenty or now at thirty five,
Speaker 1: is sometimes he says things and it, you know, it
Speaker 1: polarizes us because it's not something that you would say,
Speaker 1: It's not something you would normally see somebody say, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't think this situation here with with Jordan is
Speaker 1: because he wants to over shadow Jordan, because like, what's
Speaker 1: gonna be the difference? You know, you're talking about Lebron
Speaker 1: late at night on social media going over as biggest
Speaker 1: plays versus a ten part documentary on ESPN. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be you know, ten weeks long or whatever it is
Speaker 1: with here's Michael Jordan and what people are gonna be
Speaker 1: tweeting about and talking about every single night because the
Speaker 1: desire to see this is so big. I just think
Speaker 1: this was Lebron going, Oh, yeah, they're gonna if he's
Speaker 1: doing as what you think he's saying, Oh, George's gonna
Speaker 1: do that, I should do that. You know, I just
Speaker 1: believe that, Oh I should do that, and I could
Speaker 1: do that first, and that's something I'm gonna do next
Speaker 1: week and then I'm gonna be on to something else.
Speaker 1: But you just said it. Everybody will be talking about
Speaker 1: it and tweeting about it. It will just shed more light.
Speaker 1: Lebron James to this day is still in competition with
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan, whether people want to believe it or not.
Speaker 1: I know that dad can't play against each other and
Speaker 1: Mike hasn't played him fifteen or twenty years or whatever,
Speaker 1: fifteen years or whatever it's been. But that's not that
Speaker 1: he is still chasing that. He might have said that
Speaker 1: he's the goat, but he deep down knows that he
Speaker 1: hasn't convinced other people. And you said it. Social media,
Speaker 1: everybody getting a chance to watch the Jordan thing. For
Speaker 1: a lot of millennials who really don't know the Michael
Speaker 1: Jordan's story, they don't they they haven't seen it. So
Speaker 1: here's a chance for you to look at what he
Speaker 1: was able to accomplish the second three pet with the bulls,
Speaker 1: And I think Lebron realized that and was like, what
Speaker 1: can I do to kind of get a little attention
Speaker 1: during this time and get people to understand and see
Speaker 1: all the stuff that I've accomplished. I really believe it's
Speaker 1: more calculated than you think. This wasn't just some random
Speaker 1: thought at at in the middle of the night with
Speaker 1: nothing to do. This was how can I keep my
Speaker 1: my minions still locked in on where I am, how
Speaker 1: great I am, and that I'm the goat. When this
Speaker 1: whole Michael Jordan ten piece documentary, I mean, not too
Speaker 1: many people get that ten piece. So you know, you
Speaker 1: might get a ten piece of chicken, but a ten
Speaker 1: piece is highly unlikely for most people. Hey, when I
Speaker 1: used to get the eighteen McNuggets be able to eat
Speaker 1: all of them pretty easy. I mean that's back in
Speaker 1: my big eating heyday, and I was like, oh man,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what eighteen McNuggets out down that in
Speaker 1: about ten minutes. Wow. But I look, this is not
Speaker 1: like Lebron is going to time things out and say, Okay,
Speaker 1: every night that the Jordan documentary years, I'm gonna look
Speaker 1: at the best. He'll do it the night before. He's
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna do it once and then he's gonna
Speaker 1: be on to something else, because that's kind of what
Speaker 1: Lebron does. Look, not everything is well fought out. I
Speaker 1: don't think Lebron will fought out the move to Miami.
Speaker 1: You know, this was him and Dwayne Wade and Chris
Speaker 1: Bosh and the Olympics going, hey, this would be fun
Speaker 1: if we all played together, wouldn't it. Yeah, let's be yeah,
Speaker 1: let's go do it. What could possibly go wrong? And
Speaker 1: then look at all the stuff they had to overcome
Speaker 1: those four years. They were much more difficult than thought
Speaker 1: it was. You know, sometimes it just things aren't well
Speaker 1: thought out. And this is one of those things where
Speaker 1: I think he just said, oh, you know, Jordan's doing that,
Speaker 1: I'll do that too. One day, you know, maybe one
Speaker 1: day next week, I'll set it up and I'll take questions,
Speaker 1: and then I'm going to do something else the week
Speaker 1: after and something else the week after that. I you know,
Speaker 1: I don't think this is going to be met with
Speaker 1: a Okay, how do we you know, siphon things away
Speaker 1: from Jordan and and and make sure I get all
Speaker 1: the attention instead of him, because look, you're not going
Speaker 1: to overshadow it, you know. Like I said, it's one
Speaker 1: thing for Lebron to show some highlights and take questions
Speaker 1: on social media versus the power of this documentary that
Speaker 1: you know has been moved up because so many people
Speaker 1: want to see it. I mean, look, how many people
Speaker 1: really want to sit back and say, hey, I really
Speaker 1: can't wait for Lebron to show the highlights of his career.
Speaker 1: Not many. Yeah, it's like, Okay, I've because I've seen
Speaker 1: It's not a following out there. Yeah, but but the
Speaker 1: average person, the average sports rooms all right, I've seen
Speaker 1: Lebron's and I'm mentioned to see what he has to
Speaker 1: say after. You know, It's like it's like when a
Speaker 1: when a celebrity writes a book. Oh, here comes a
Speaker 1: big book coming out. Does anybody read the book or no?
Speaker 1: Ahead of time? We can all the best passages and
Speaker 1: we find out what's being said, and we talk about it,
Speaker 1: and that's how you consume it. That's kind of this
Speaker 1: thing with Lebron. Okay, I don't think people are really
Speaker 1: gonna go and go watch him do this, but if
Speaker 1: he says something when we talk about it after, sure,
Speaker 1: Whereas this documentary with Jordan is everybody's gonna want to
Speaker 1: see it and talk about it, just like when a
Speaker 1: Ric Flair documentary goes on, or Andre the Giant whichever
Speaker 1: one you know that is gaining a lot of attention
Speaker 1: because sports docks are really powerful. And you know, that's
Speaker 1: the difference I think between the Jordan and Lebron aspect
Speaker 1: of what they're both trying to do here. And speaking
Speaker 1: of books, if you're looking for something to read, pick
Speaker 1: up my book. If I'm writing I'm ripping Amazon dot com.
Speaker 1: It's a collection of columns that I've written. I think
Speaker 1: you'll enjoy this. I'm Lebron and Tom Brady columns in
Speaker 1: there as well. Oh my god, that is a shameless book. Hey,
Speaker 1: pick up my book. Rob Parker is always wrong. It's
Speaker 1: available on Amazon right now. It's just it's coming out,
Speaker 1: and it's also under the title boy, He's really shameless.
Speaker 1: So I have the alternate title working as well. So
Speaker 1: you just go on a whole thing, a whole rant
Speaker 1: about how Lebron is trying to take attention away from Jordan,
Speaker 1: and you plug it with your book at the end,
Speaker 1: I just want you know, I'm trying to help out
Speaker 1: America during this time. You pick up a book you're
Speaker 1: looking to read, so again, well, I want and the title,
Speaker 1: there's no better title from writing I'm ripping, No that's
Speaker 1: a great title. It's it's a far way away from
Speaker 1: when you and I did the show earlier this week
Speaker 1: and you pumped your new podcast and couldn't remember the
Speaker 1: name of it. Yes, you mean, what's the name of
Speaker 1: the podcast? Inside? It's an all Major League Baseball podcast.
Speaker 1: Jason Smith, Rob Parker for Dan and the Danats. We

Speaker 1: weeks living day to day the way things have changed
Speaker 1: here in the country, Well, thank thanks for asking. First
Speaker 1: of all, we are we're managing here, use household, and
Speaker 1: we're just you know, trying to do our part every
Speaker 1: single day, and uh, with three kids a four year old,
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's it's it's been disruptive, but you know,
Speaker 1: like like oh we are, we're figuring it out and
Speaker 1: just going about it and trying to find the humor
Speaker 1: as we go along to maintain some form of sanity here.
Speaker 1: But overall we can't complain. And uh, you know, we're
Speaker 1: just out here, you know, keeping our prayers and wishes
Speaker 1: the best for all and uh, you know, encouraging people
Speaker 1: to stay safe, stay home, and uh do what we can.
Speaker 1: And I think, like all of us, we're getting even
Speaker 1: more of an appreciation for teachers considering all the lessons
Speaker 1: being taught at home now and trying to figure things out.
Speaker 1: I'm saying to myself, Yeah, I don't really know anything
Speaker 1: about this math, that's for sure. Hey, I didn't know
Speaker 1: it when you were in school, and you don't know
Speaker 1: it as an adult. No, BJ need to know. Is
Speaker 1: this SHOT's worth two points? This shots were three points?
Speaker 1: All right? There's we're right here. So as we get
Speaker 1: closer to what you know, could hopefully be the return
Speaker 1: of the NBA, BJ Rob and I were talking about
Speaker 1: this idea that the NBA is going to play in Vegas.
Speaker 1: Is this something that can really come to fruition. We
Speaker 1: can quarantine the players and they can finish the regular
Speaker 1: season to play the playoffs in Las Vegas. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: at this point, you know, in speaking to teams and
Speaker 1: owners and you know, people that I've had an opportunity
Speaker 1: to speak with, I don't think anyone knows. Right there
Speaker 1: are a lot of ideas that are out there. Certainly
Speaker 1: that has been tossed around the potential of teams and
Speaker 1: going out trying to finish the season in an environment
Speaker 1: like that where they kind of isolate the players. But
Speaker 1: to be honest with you and the people I've been
Speaker 1: speaking with, no one knows, but certainly everyone is open
Speaker 1: for ideas. I think the owners and the league would
Speaker 1: would love the opportunity to play if possible, But I
Speaker 1: think the safety of all right, and I think we
Speaker 1: understand what's at risk here and being we have a
Speaker 1: lot of things to to really concentrate on and really
Speaker 1: you know, touch upon before we can start playing sports.
Speaker 1: But certainly that is something that has been thrown around.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure whether it happens or not at this time,
Speaker 1: but it's definitely an idea. Yeah, I get it. You know,
Speaker 1: there's a big financial huk. The NBA doesn't want to
Speaker 1: let go by. We saw what happened, you know with
Speaker 1: the China situation costs them a lot of money and
Speaker 1: now to BJ lose this season, it would be devastating financially.
Speaker 1: Even these leagues that make a tremendous amount of money.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of television money on the table and
Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff. But ultimately, do you believe players
Speaker 1: would go for that? I mean, I just I just
Speaker 1: look at it. I understand that your job, you want
Speaker 1: to play, but to be isolated from your family, your friends,
Speaker 1: and to play basketball games during these times, I don't
Speaker 1: know if if if that's doable. You know, that's a
Speaker 1: that's a great question here, I think the bigger the
Speaker 1: bigger part of this is from a player's perspective, is
Speaker 1: the amount of time it would take to get in
Speaker 1: some type of condition to play right. Um. The you know,
Speaker 1: thinking that players are just gonna, you know, get ready
Speaker 1: in a week or two to come back and play,
Speaker 1: I think that's unrealistic if we're talking you know, the
Speaker 1: mindset or the take on what it takes to get
Speaker 1: yourself prepared to go out there and play a game.
Speaker 1: So um, I think most players would love to play
Speaker 1: and participate and play if possible. I just don't know, Rob,
Speaker 1: if there's enough time to get everyone ready to play
Speaker 1: right and play the game at the level that it,
Speaker 1: you know, that we're accustomed to watching. The More importantly,
Speaker 1: is there enough time for these athletes to get in
Speaker 1: some type of shape right, not only individually, get together
Speaker 1: as a team. Where do you go? How do you play? So? Forth?
Speaker 1: And song so. But in these times, I think, with
Speaker 1: the uncertainty that swirls around all of us, I think
Speaker 1: we're just kind of taking it day by day and
Speaker 1: just try to figure this out as we go along.
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone really has the answer. But the
Speaker 1: first thing when I heard about this Vegas. It's, you know,
Speaker 1: is the conditioning of the athletes, right, and as you
Speaker 1: see when we had the lockouts, you know, exposes everyone
Speaker 1: to different type of things, right, the team's conditioning, injury,
Speaker 1: so forth and song. When you try to cram something in,
Speaker 1: you know, it takes time, and these guys make it
Speaker 1: look so easy, these athletes where we're talking about now.
Speaker 1: But you know what, we'll see, we'll see how it
Speaker 1: works out. But I think generally, to answer your question,
Speaker 1: I think most players would like to play in some capacity,
Speaker 1: in some form, but I just don't know if that's
Speaker 1: possible at this moment, you know, BJ, I think it's
Speaker 1: going to actually come down to something really simple, you know,
Speaker 1: much more simpler than that. And let me let me
Speaker 1: put you back in the league for a second. Let
Speaker 1: me let me give you back, you know, a few
Speaker 1: years and you know you're an NBA player right now,
Speaker 1: and get you back in and everything else, all right,
Speaker 1: you like this, right, We're going back, you know, I'll
Speaker 1: get you back, and things are happening, and in a
Speaker 1: couple of months it's the NBA says, Okay, we're ready
Speaker 1: to play again, but we're going to have to play
Speaker 1: in a controlled environment, and we are not going to
Speaker 1: play in front of fans because we don't know that
Speaker 1: it's safe yet. But you players, we think it's safe
Speaker 1: for you to play and bang bodies with each other.
Speaker 1: And you have to make that decision to say, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go play or I'm gonna play it
Speaker 1: safe because we still don't know enough about this and
Speaker 1: stay home with my family. What's your when when it
Speaker 1: comes down to that, what's your decision going to be? Well?
Speaker 1: I think the NBA. I think that's the one thing
Speaker 1: the NBA has done. They will have that level of communication,
Speaker 1: work with the players in the league, and I don't
Speaker 1: think that will even be a question where they will
Speaker 1: expose players without understanding what's fact from fiction, right, And
Speaker 1: I think the health of the players and all is
Speaker 1: the concern is the main concern one, two or three.
Speaker 1: So I could see that being you know your question.
Speaker 1: I think I understand that, But I don't think the
Speaker 1: NBA would even take that risk moving forward, because what
Speaker 1: you don't want to do. If I'm the NBA and
Speaker 1: if I'm the league, I don't want to jeopardize the
Speaker 1: startup next season for sure, any shape, in any in
Speaker 1: any form. Right, we're trying to salvage this in this
Speaker 1: end of the season, right, we've already played about seventy
Speaker 1: of it. I don't think at all. I think all
Speaker 1: thirty teams really share. If there's one thing that they
Speaker 1: all share is they don't want to jeopardize the start
Speaker 1: up next season in any way by putting at risk
Speaker 1: the health of a player that would really push back
Speaker 1: the next season or worst case scenario, you know you
Speaker 1: miss you know, you miss all of next season because
Speaker 1: of this. So I think that would be the long
Speaker 1: term play and thinking about this big picture. So I
Speaker 1: don't think they would do that. BJ. Obviously you played
Speaker 1: with Michael Jordan. Uh, what what do you expect out
Speaker 1: of this ten part documentary The Last Dance, which chronicles
Speaker 1: his final season with the Bulls. What do you expect
Speaker 1: to get from that? Well, you know, the more I
Speaker 1: see it and you see the interests, you know, as
Speaker 1: a as a player, you don't know. I mean, at
Speaker 1: least I wasn't aware that, oh wow, there was so
Speaker 1: much interest in the team. I knew we were good.
Speaker 1: I knew there were a lot of people back then
Speaker 1: that that followed the Bulls. But here we are with
Speaker 1: some twenty thirty years later and there's still interest, And
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, you know, this is a you
Speaker 1: know there there's a lot of fanfare around you know
Speaker 1: what those teams were able to accomplish. In particular Jordan,
Speaker 1: I hope that you get an opportunity to see his
Speaker 1: preparation when I say he Michael George's preparation for the game,
Speaker 1: and I hope he shows or at least touches upon
Speaker 1: his true love for the game of basketball, right Like
Speaker 1: you know, everyone talks about they love it and they
Speaker 1: do their things, but he truly loved the sport and
Speaker 1: he loved competition. He loved to prepare for it and
Speaker 1: he and I think that's unique with him because he
Speaker 1: was such a gifted athlete, but he attacked the game
Speaker 1: in such a way that you know, he was He's
Speaker 1: like a blue collar player that was trapped inside this
Speaker 1: wonderful athletic you know, you know body, um he was
Speaker 1: just every single day he with the attention to detail.
Speaker 1: So I hope, if anything, he allows people to see
Speaker 1: his preparation, his true mindset of how he attacked the
Speaker 1: game of basketball, how he was you know he was
Speaker 1: a true student of the game. He loved it. And
Speaker 1: and that's the one thing you know that I hope
Speaker 1: he opens up with is to watch how he would
Speaker 1: He knew everything that was going on. He knew all
Speaker 1: of the other teams plays, he knew our plays, he
Speaker 1: knew every position, he knew the scouting reports, he knew
Speaker 1: need plays, and he was his detail and level that
Speaker 1: he really took the game was like something very unique.
Speaker 1: He just didn't show up and play. And as I've
Speaker 1: said over and over again, you know, as great as
Speaker 1: he was in the games, and they'll have a lot
Speaker 1: of game tape, I hope they have something in practice
Speaker 1: because he was the greatest practice player I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: I've never seen someone to be able to play the
Speaker 1: game at the level he played and then would turn
Speaker 1: around and repeat the same effort level everywhere in practice.
Speaker 1: You were drafted in nineteen eighty nine, And was it
Speaker 1: true that Jordan kind of said that you were the
Speaker 1: only the last rookie he was accepting or whatever on
Speaker 1: the team. What was that about? What was that story
Speaker 1: he didn't want the rookies but he accepted you. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure about that one. You know, I have
Speaker 1: to check with him, you know. If so, I'm glad
Speaker 1: I was the last rookie that came by. But I
Speaker 1: think when you when you were a star player, when
Speaker 1: you were a player in this league, you quickly learned
Speaker 1: that you know, you're gonna win with experience, and if
Speaker 1: you're gonna beat the best teams and you're going to
Speaker 1: compete at that level, there's a certain mental toughness that
Speaker 1: you have that you have to have, and you have
Speaker 1: to have experience, and experience is part of that makeup. Right,
Speaker 1: And if we were going to win, and he was
Speaker 1: in year what seven or eight at that time, right
Speaker 1: in eighty nine or ninety somewhere around there, we were
Speaker 1: going to have to win with experienced players. Right. You
Speaker 1: need talented players, but you need experienced players because mentally,
Speaker 1: the mental challenge, to me is bigger than the physical challenge.
Speaker 1: So Jordan, I think he understood it. And when I
Speaker 1: came into the league, he was at a point in
Speaker 1: his career where he was ready to win. Right, You're
Speaker 1: gonna win in this league when your best players are
Speaker 1: ready to win mentally, he was ready. He had won
Speaker 1: all the award, you know, did everything individually that he
Speaker 1: needed to do to figure out who he was as
Speaker 1: an individual player. But now I think he was going
Speaker 1: over to the biggest phase of your career is when
Speaker 1: you realize that, you know what the games it meant
Speaker 1: to be played by one person, The game was meant
Speaker 1: to be played as a team. And that's where I
Speaker 1: call him in his career. When he understood that, and
Speaker 1: once he understood that, you know, the rest is history.
Speaker 1: He was able to win you know, six championships. He
Speaker 1: did everything he needed to do, and he was able
Speaker 1: to implement his individual talent into the team. Right. We
Speaker 1: had a team, We had a framework of how we
Speaker 1: played right called the Triangle offense, and Jordan was able
Speaker 1: to integrate, you know, his individual skill set and understand
Speaker 1: that he had to stop playing the game right just
Speaker 1: going off your scoring points and entertaining that's fun. You
Speaker 1: can still do that, but you have to do it
Speaker 1: now with the purpose and the purposes. We need your
Speaker 1: skill set to win the game. And that's what made
Speaker 1: him such a phenomenal players. He was a phenomen finish
Speaker 1: Our job was to play the first forty four minutes,
Speaker 1: keep it close. His job was to take the last
Speaker 1: four minutes and win the game. And it's a combination.
Speaker 1: It's a rare combination because you don't find many players
Speaker 1: who can actually execute that right. You can do it
Speaker 1: time for you know, sometimes you can do it, sometimes
Speaker 1: you can't consistently every single night, if the game was
Speaker 1: within four or five points in the last four minutes,
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's gonna win that game. And that's what his
Speaker 1: greatest gift was. He could finish. He was going to
Speaker 1: finish the game, and he had a mindset that he
Speaker 1: didn't mind and he accepted failure right. He was fearless
Speaker 1: that way. And I think that's why he's arguably the
Speaker 1: greatest player to ever played, is because of mentally how
Speaker 1: he channeled his energy. Every single night he was able
Speaker 1: to reach greatness and peek into that zone more times
Speaker 1: than not. In the consistency in which he did it
Speaker 1: was just amazing to watch as a pro athlete myself,
Speaker 1: three time NBA champ BJ Armstrong with us here on
Speaker 1: the Dan Patrick Show, Jason Smith, Rob Parker, do you
Speaker 1: know how much you're in it? You got any any, any,
Speaker 1: any visual of it yet or now? I do not, um,
Speaker 1: But what I do know is what Michael does call, right,
Speaker 1: He normally calls, just checks in, says hello, But he
Speaker 1: personally called and asked me to make sure that, you know,
Speaker 1: to ask me, would I, you know, do that when
Speaker 1: he when that's when he does something like that, I
Speaker 1: know it's special for him. So, um, you know, he
Speaker 1: called and asked me. It's been over a year ago
Speaker 1: that I did the interview, so I have no idea, um,
Speaker 1: but I'm I'm really you know, looking forward to it
Speaker 1: because you you know, there's so many questions about Jordan,
Speaker 1: but there's so many things that he's kept private, and
Speaker 1: I think that's the one thing. You know, we we
Speaker 1: just knew him as Michael as mj. But then there's
Speaker 1: this air Jordan character, right that people are just fascinated with,
Speaker 1: you know, you know who he was. So hopefully you'll
Speaker 1: get a chance to see the person here like we
Speaker 1: saw every single day. And so we'll see, you know,
Speaker 1: we'll see when it comes out. So bj if if
Speaker 1: Lebron James releases highlights of himself the same day that
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's documentary come out, which comes out? Which one
Speaker 1: are you watching? All right? You always put me on
Speaker 1: the spot. Well, I've seen I've seen most of the
Speaker 1: highlights are probably both of them by now, you know,
Speaker 1: with all of the Internet and social media and so forth.
Speaker 1: But you know, my guy Jordan, and I really I'm
Speaker 1: really excited for this one because of the impact not
Speaker 1: only on the court, but off the court, you know,
Speaker 1: the whole you know, Jordan's shoes and what it did
Speaker 1: to the culture, what it did to the community. And
Speaker 1: here we are, you know, you know, twenty five thirty
Speaker 1: years later, we're still talking about, um, this man, what
Speaker 1: he was able to do on the court and his impact.
Speaker 1: So I'm just really excited for it because now you
Speaker 1: have a new generation of young kids who never even
Speaker 1: saw him play, still wearing the Jordan's shoes. And I
Speaker 1: just always chuckled to myself, right, you know, like, wow,
Speaker 1: that was I wish I would have known that then,
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't just have no idea. And it's
Speaker 1: always funny when I walk around to this day, wherever
Speaker 1: I'm at in the world, people will always come up
Speaker 1: to me and say, I remember you on those Jordan teams.
Speaker 1: So you never know the impact, right, the impact of television,
Speaker 1: the impact of radio and all of these things. And
Speaker 1: when you have a global icon like a Jordan, and
Speaker 1: you see what he was able to do and his
Speaker 1: impact on the game. And you see all these young
Speaker 1: kids today, you know, Luca Doangs and all of these
Speaker 1: young kids from all around the world. You see what
Speaker 1: it could be and it's it's it's gonna be fun
Speaker 1: to watch. I just want to see the response, and
Speaker 1: especially during a time like this, I think it will
Speaker 1: be a great opportunity to peek inside the mind of
Speaker 1: a genius, because he truly was a genius of basketball.
Speaker 1: On Twitter at BJ Armstrong you can follow him there. BJ.
Speaker 1: Appreciate your time, man, Thanks so much. Look forward to
Speaker 1: seeing the doc whenever it happens. All right, right, thank
Speaker 1: you guys. You gotta stay safe, stay save BJ. Yep.
Speaker 1: You know it's funny rob to see BJ say things like,
Speaker 1: you know, we ran a thing called the triangle offense,
Speaker 1: and you know, hey, people, you know want are going
Speaker 1: to see the passion Michael Jordan had for the game.
Speaker 1: And there's such a disconnect for me because of course
Speaker 1: I know the passion Jordan had, I lived it. Of
Speaker 1: course I know the triangle offense. And then I have
Speaker 1: to realize that this is really going to be mainly
Speaker 1: for the people who just had no idea, because look,
Speaker 1: you know, the Jordan's last glory days was well over
Speaker 1: twenty years ago. And you know, you know, you and
Speaker 1: I do in sports for a living. You know that
Speaker 1: history is right in front of our face every day.
Speaker 1: But for so many people, it's like, yeah, I want
Speaker 1: to see why everybody's so crazy about this Jordan guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can see highlights and stuff, but how good was
Speaker 1: he really? And and that's a real disconnect. I think
Speaker 1: that that's gonna get solved with this documentary. Oh there's
Speaker 1: no there's no doubt about it. And for a guy
Speaker 1: like me who was covering the NBA during that time,
Speaker 1: you know, I was there when Michael made that shot
Speaker 1: over Craigy Lowe Jason. I was sitting courtside. I meant
Speaker 1: I had the greatest seat in the building at center Court.
Speaker 1: I'll never forget that. And I was an NBA writer.
Speaker 1: I was covering first the Nets than the Knicks for
Speaker 1: the Daily News in New York at that time. So
Speaker 1: when I see the Jordan's stuff, it brings back a
Speaker 1: lot of memories. And I'll tell you this, even back
Speaker 1: then when we were covering it, at that point, we
Speaker 1: knew how special that guy was that we were fortunate
Speaker 1: to be watching him at the time. We did Twitter
Speaker 1: at how about a Frescott rob at Rob Parker FS one,
Speaker 1: Jason Smith and Rob Parker in for Dan and the Dan.
Speaker 1: That's a lot more NBA coming up on the show.
Speaker 1: But straight ahead, we got a big story out of
Speaker 1: the NFL. A wide receiver posting video of him working
Speaker 1: out with a quarterback who wants to get back in
Speaker 1: the league. And it's not Antonio Brown. That's coming up
Speaker 1: next right here. Fox Fox Sports Radio has the best
Speaker 1: sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of our
Speaker 1: shows at Fox Sports Radio dot com and within the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio apps. Search FSR to listen live. You know, stop
Speaker 1: me if you heard this one before. Here's a wide
Speaker 1: receiver who wants to get back in the NFL posting
Speaker 1: video on social media working out with a quarterback. Except
Speaker 1: it's not Antonio Brown. It's actually Dez Bryant, former Cowboys
Speaker 1: wide out, putting out a picture up on Twitter yesterday
Speaker 1: of himself after he finished out a workout with Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott and a couple of other players, in which he writes,
Speaker 1: Dak and myself just finished a great workout session picked
Speaker 1: up where we left off. Rob. There's two things with
Speaker 1: this story. The first thing is that I'm not a
Speaker 1: big fan of the picture because you're not practicing social
Speaker 1: distancing right there? Got their arms around each other, is there?
Speaker 1: You know, regardless to when the workout was. That's not
Speaker 1: a good look to be putting pictures online of here's
Speaker 1: me with my arms around each other, especially if I'm
Speaker 1: going to give Dak Prescott thirty eight million dollars. I
Speaker 1: want a decision making to be a little bit better
Speaker 1: than that. But the main thing is, you know, for
Speaker 1: a guy like Dez Bryant and Antonio Brown, it's like
Speaker 1: they got to know it's over. And Antonio Brown has
Speaker 1: too much legal things hanging over his head and he's
Speaker 1: too much of a wild card. No one's gonna sign him.
Speaker 1: Dax Des has been out of the league for a
Speaker 1: while now, and no one's gonna be He was diminished
Speaker 1: when he left the league when he refused the contract
Speaker 1: with the Ravens. No one's gonna bring him back now.
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have been nice to him, you know, and
Speaker 1: this is you know, people being nice to him, you know,
Speaker 1: working out with quarterbacks. I just think sometimes guys need
Speaker 1: to see when it's over. Yeah, but I don't think
Speaker 1: that guys do believe that. They still believe that there's
Speaker 1: always going to be a chance someone. You know, there's
Speaker 1: gonna be injuries. These guys on forty years old. They
Speaker 1: see Tom Brady's still playing, and I know it's different
Speaker 1: for a wide receiver, but I'm not mad at guys
Speaker 1: who want to stay in shape and think that there
Speaker 1: was a chance. Don't forget Dez had an opportunity to
Speaker 1: go with the Saints and then he just got hurt
Speaker 1: and couldn't get back out there. So if he feels
Speaker 1: like I was that close to having another opportunity and
Speaker 1: I'm healed now, I want to go out there. By
Speaker 1: throwing with some of the top quarterbacks and having those
Speaker 1: guys throw to them, it brings attention to him. It's
Speaker 1: not like they're in a high school and some Joe
Speaker 1: blow store on the ball. You got some of the
Speaker 1: top quarterbacks store on the ball of these guys, and
Speaker 1: that's how they hope to get some interest from teams.
Speaker 1: And maybe somebody will call one of those quarterbacks and say, hey, Dak,
Speaker 1: how did he look? Blah blah, blah, you know what
Speaker 1: you think, and then yeah, he was great. He was cutting,
Speaker 1: he was moving, he was doing great, and then maybe
Speaker 1: they might find some interest in him. So I get it. Well,
Speaker 1: but Robbie, he hasn't played in three years. He wouldn't
Speaker 1: get it. He's in the Cowboys just all the player
Speaker 1: who hadn't played since fifteen. Yeah, yeah, but when he
Speaker 1: but since twenty fifteen. No, I get Look, the Cowboys
Speaker 1: take a chance, but he's a guy that was at
Speaker 1: the top of his game when he last played in
Speaker 1: the NFL. Des Bryant was a guy they had to
Speaker 1: part ways with because he wasn't that good anymore. You know,
Speaker 1: he didn't suddenly get better in the last three years. No,
Speaker 1: I get that. But I'm just saying, if a guy
Speaker 1: who en't playing in the league for five years can
Speaker 1: get a chance, guys who have been out for three
Speaker 1: years or a year and a half or two years,
Speaker 1: they're going to hope that somebody has a spot for them,
Speaker 1: especially if somebody gets hurt. That's all Twitter At. How
Speaker 1: about Afresca Rob at Rob Parker FS one phone numbers
Speaker 1: eight seven, seven ninety nine On Fox, Jason Smith and
Speaker 1: Rob Parker in for Dan and the dan Nets. Today
Speaker 1: we got more NFL coming up, got Marcellus Wiley stopping
Speaker 1: by next hour on the show. About a half hour
Speaker 1: or so from now, but coming up next. The last
Speaker 1: twenty four hours has told us exactly where the NFL
Speaker 1: Draft is gonna turn. We'll tell you about it next.
Speaker 1: This is Fox.
