127
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: to see a bit. McElroy during the Scottish Open. He's

128
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: on the tenth hole and he's talking with his caddie

129
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: and and somebody else and he's standing in front of

130
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: his golf bag. I mean there there, everybody is like

131
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: no more than six inches from the golf bag. As

132
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: are having a conversation and you're probably gonna tea off

133
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: at some point. And they're having a conversation and a

134
00:06:54,360 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: spectator just walks by, grabs his driver and you know,

135
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: kind of misses grabbing the driver, like pulls the head

136
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: cover off the driver and then drops it and then

137
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: takes the driver out of his club and he walks

138
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: over to the tea box and he starts swinging the

139
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: club and McElroy is caddy and the other person there

140
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: are just standing going what is this guy doing? Like

141
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: McElroy's hands are in his pockets the entire time, going

142
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: what's going on here? The guy just walks up, takes

143
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: the club out of Rory McElroy's bag, goes on the

144
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: tea box and starts swinging it like he's getting ready

145
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: to tee off. I have never seen anything like this.

146
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: How brazen. This guy just walks on, picks up the

147
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, takes the club out of the golf car,

148
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: out of out of the golf bag. And they're all

149
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: just so stunned. They're standing there going what is what

150
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: is happening here? And he walks over. The guy's got

00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: his hand in his pocket, he's got a vest on,

152
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: he's not wearing white pants. But uh, but he just

Speaker 1: walks over. Dam's gonna swing the club. Here's security. I'm

154
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: watching the video. We're security, And why do they think

155
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: they don't recognize this guy? Why in the world would

156
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: they just stay in there? I mean, and why would

157
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: why would worry allow him to take the club out

158
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: of his bag? I mean, they know that's strange. I don't.

159
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: I don't understand why the caddy, right, are you supposed

160
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: to protect the clubs? I would go right over and

161
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: grab it back from him and say, dude, what are

162
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: you doing, like like like he just grabbed the thing,

163
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: and they're looking at him like it's okay. Yeah, it's

164
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: like it's out of a movie. It's like what's happening?

165
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: But you know, I kind of get Look, this isn't

166
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: unknown and you're trying to keep the club cover. He

167
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: was trying to keep the club cover. Yeah, I mean,

168
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: and they take the guy off there being real nice.

169
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: They should have pounced on that guy. If that was me,

170
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: I would have been in handcuffs. Are you kidding? Coming on, man,

171
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: I get them not doing anything because here comes the guy.

172
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: You have no idea who he is. I'm talking about

173
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: the caddy. I agree that maybe McElroy can't get involved.

174
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: You don't want to get hurt. Imagine if you wrestle

175
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: with the guy and he hurts you somehow. But where's

176
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: the caddie Just just to allow somebody to walk over

177
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: and take your club out of you know that that's

178
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: not right. Yeah, but I don't know that that's the

179
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: caddy's job to prot I don't think the caddies trying

180
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: to protect the clubs from from crazy people that want

181
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: to walk on and take it out of there. I mean,

182
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: it's it's a golf club after all, you know, I

183
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: mean I I just I get their lack of hey

184
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: what are we doing here, because it's just stunning. Um.

185
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: But what's more, what's more is that you look at

186
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: this situation now and go, Okay, here's a guy that

187
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: just walked on the course and took the club out

188
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: of Rory McElroy's bag. And and there's only basically a

189
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: rope that separates spectators from uh from from the playing

190
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: field here here you know, from from players on the course.

191
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: And now suddenly how much is that going to be

192
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: examined and looked at? Going okay, we got lucky that

193
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: this is how this turned out. I mean, we got

194
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: lucky that the guy didn't run up and just try

195
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: to tackle Rory McElroy for whatever reason, because this is

196
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: a brazen thing to just go, hey, I'm here taking

197
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: this club. But at this same point, you go, it's

198
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: only a rope. It's only a rope, and a guy

199
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: can can can walk in and do this. It's almost

200
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: like you could say, I'm surprised this hasn't happened sooner,

201
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: you know, with everybody, I mean, it's great to see that. Ay,

202
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: in the history of golf, we've seen such great decorum

203
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: from people and they're able to you know, respect the

204
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 1: laws and in everybody's personal space. But you see something

205
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: like this and you go, man, I what's gonna what's

206
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: gonna be the ramifications of this thing happening? Yeah, I mean,

207
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: whoever's in charge of security that company should be fired.

208
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: You gotta have security. Come on, man, and this day

209
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: and age, there's gotta be somebody there. There's nobody. I mean, Jason, really,

210
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: you got a big time golfer there. You're not protecting him.

211
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: Anybody can just walk up. What if the guy had

212
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: other intentions a bodily harm or whatever and could just

213
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: walk up and there's no ropes to keep him from

214
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: from from walking up like that and being that brazen

215
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: in that bowld. I mean, it took a while before

216
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: somebody showed up and you couldn't even tell that they

217
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: were really security, you know what I mean. Like, sometimes

218
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: you gotta were stuff that says security and you gotta

219
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: be you know, be shown as as a force that

220
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: you just can't do what you want and we are watching.

221
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: I think they failed there. You know, my dad. I

222
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: mentioned my dad a few minutes ago. His big thing

223
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 1: is he works out here at Riviera and he volunteers

224
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 1: at all the big PGA events when they have him

225
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: out here, and he's the marshal on the sixteenth hole

226
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: for every event. Like he's gotten some TV time in

227
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: the last few years. When if a guy will hole

228
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: in on sixteen, you know, and he's there and I

229
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: say to him, are you ever worried about something happening

230
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: and getting on there? He goes, yeah all the time.

231
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: I said, okay, so so what is He goes, but

232
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's people here, and I said, oh, okay,

233
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: he goes. Now, luckily we've never had to worry about it.

234
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think about it all the time. I

235
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: look at people and make sure that they're gonna be

236
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: all right and they're not going to run on the

237
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: green or do something or you know, they back up.

238
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: But he says he thinks about it. He thinks about

239
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: it all the time. But he's always defaulting to, hey,

240
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: there's people here, there's people here, They're gonna take care

241
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: of this. And you know you're right because you see

242
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: this video and the big video that's making the rounds

243
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: about thirty five seconds long, and it's thirty five seconds

244
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: from the guy when the guy walks on and he

245
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: and he takes the club out of Rory McElroy's bag.

246
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: He stands next to him for a second because he

247
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: tries to grab the driver and he grabs the clubhead off,

248
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: and so you're gonna go back the second time to

249
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: get to actually get the club, right, Yeah, he drives

250
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: to grab the driver and he winds up getting just

251
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: the cover of it, and then he grabs one of

252
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: his irons and he's standing there and he's just swinging it,

253
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: and McElroy and they're all looking around going, hey, we're

254
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna take care of this guy here. And

255
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: it is a long time to get there to make

256
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: sure that. Hey, let's let's take care of this situation.

257
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a this is an unknown thing.

258
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: I think they're lucky that all this guy wanted to

259
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: do was was take the golf club and go and

260
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: swing it. Pretend he was a you know, and pretend

261
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: he's a golfer. Now he's obviously gonna be punished. It's

262
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: in the hands of the Scottish police at this point.

263
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: But I mean this, this is you. You watch this

264
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: and it's just it's amazing. It's hypnotic to watch it

265
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: actually happened after this, I guarantee you. If I'm other golfers,

266
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: I'm calling to complain. Where's the security, Like, like, you

267
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: guys leaving us out there vulnerable? Do you know what

268
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: I mean? Like there's a there's a loophole in the

269
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: system there and for other people who might want to

270
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: do something crazy now they look and go, oh, you

271
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: could just walk up nobody nobody's there to stop you.

272
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: Am I right? I mean that that's what I see.

273
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: It is. Yeah, it is really weird because then you

274
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: watch him he kind of puts the clubhead down like

275
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna hit it, and he and he stands on

276
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 1: the T box. There's no ball there, right, No, no, no,

277
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: he's got the he's just got the uh the clubhead there,

278
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: and he lines up and he doesn't even have like

279
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: a stance or anything. He's like checking it out and

280
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: he's just just then finally a guy walks over in

281
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: a suit and says, hey, you know you need to

282
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: come over this way, and and it's it's just it's

283
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: so bizarre, I mean really it's I've I've never seen

284
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: anything like this before. Yeah, and um, and then he

285
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: had the audacity after you know, them taking the club

286
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: from him, trying to hold on to the club cover

287
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: like like like he was trying to walk off with that,

288
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: and eventually they snatched that from him. Just a just

289
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: a bizarre scene. Um, but uh, you know, a scary scene.

290
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: I think too, because I just forgot her name. Who

291
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: was the tennis player who got stabbed? Monica Sellis right

292
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: where somebody ran out onto the court and stabbed her.

293
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: I mean, this, this was this guy could have been

294
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: rather than a prankster, could have been, you know, a

295
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: mean spirited, bad guy looking to do something else. And

296
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: thank god it wasn't that. I don't want to over

297
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: do it, but that's how close and how easy it

298
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: was for him to just walk up and reach for

299
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: a club. What if we started swinging the club. They're

300
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: gonna have to review their security procedures, you know. And

301
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: the thing is this, it's it's a bigger conversation than

302
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: just here's a guy who walked on the course and

303
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: did this. Right, We've seen in the NBA now over

304
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: the course of the past couple of months, how many

305
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: instances where fans have gotten out of control, throwing popcorn

306
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: at Russell Westbrook, you know, throwing other things, spitting at

307
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: Trey Young. The line has been blurred with what acceptable

308
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: fan decor and behavior is. And you know, you know,

309
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: part of it, you could say, well, people are just

310
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: coming back from the pandemic. They're excited. Now people don't

311
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: come back excited from the pandemic. I want to throw

312
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: stuff at people, and you know, the world is changing,

313
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: and you know, you can you know, I'm not saying

314
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: social media is to blame for this, but when you

315
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: see things that happen on Twitter. You know, some people

316
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: think Twitter is real life where a guy can say

317
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: something on Twitter a star and because I can respond

318
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: to them, we have that kind of relationship. We're kind

319
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: of on the same level. So when when you see

320
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: that line getting blurred between fan and athlete, and then

321
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: you see it playing out in arenas where like I

322
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: just said, all those things that happened to the players

323
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: of the last couple of months and now here's a

324
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: guy walking on the course. Eventually they're gonna have to

325
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: be okay, I understand that, you know, these seats are

326
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: are really premium and people pay a lot of money

327
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: to come into a golf tournament. But you know what,

328
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: we have to make sure everybody is seated a little

329
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: bit further back, you know, whether or you know, we're

330
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: putting more security on there, but clearly how much security?

331
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: Can you hire a thousand people to watch an NBA game?

332
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: Can you hire a thousand people on a golf course?

333
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: Eventually you don't need them, but you need but you

334
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: need somebody, Jason, I mean, there's nobody, right is it?

335
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: Is it bad to have one guy or two guys

336
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: at every hole? They're only making gazillion dollars on these things,

337
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: and they're gonna pinch pennies when it comes to security.

338
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: Can have happen? I guarantee you golfers go crazy over

339
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 1: this and say, man, you gotta do something. Is no

340
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: way you can leave us out there naked and without protection.

341
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: And and look, you're gonna have to make it harder

342
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: for people to get to the course. Like sometimes distance

343
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: is the biggest thing, right Like this is why I

344
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: talk about you know, the court side seats in the NBA.

345
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 1: How much longer are we really going to have that?

346
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: You know, because a guy can step right off the

347
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: court side seat and walk right out of the court right.

348
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: We've seen that actually a couple of times, like Calvin

349
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: Klein did it. Remember a few years ago Madison Square Garden,

350
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: Why Jeans, I remember that he walked up to talk

351
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: to Latrell's Freewell when he was invoding the basketball at

352
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: a game. Eventually, that's what's going to happen. It is

353
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: going to be Well, you gotta at least have some

354
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: kind of distance and make it harder for people to

355
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: get there, because all the security in the world isn't

356
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 1: going to stop somebody who wants to get on the

357
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: field of play and do something. But how difficult can

358
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: you make it? If you make it just much more

359
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,719
Speaker 1: real estate? Hey, you got to get through this fifteen

360
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: to get there. Maybe that's something that stops it before

361
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: it actually happens. But that's kind of where we're going,

362
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: because you know, these things continue to happen. People think

363
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: I can walk on the court. I can do that.

364
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: I can throw popcorn at this guy, I can spit

365
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: on him. I can walk and take Rory McElroy's club.

366
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a bigger conversation than just the

367
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: wow factor of here's a guy that walked on the

368
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: course before in Racklroy. And the bad part about the

369
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: popcorn incident was it just wasn't enough butter. That made

370
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: it an even more heinous act. You are, you know,

371
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: you are really focusing on movie popcorn and movie butter today.

372
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: I mean, well, that's where you're going. You're going to

373
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 1: pay for a fifteen dollars tub of popcorn to take

374
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 1: your daughter, Oh to go Black Widow. We can't wait, man,

375
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,719
Speaker 1: I'm going. I'm going in like an hour and a half.

376
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: We're going at like ten o'clock to the movie. It's great, though,

377
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 1: you know that kids still get excited about stuff like

378
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: you were saying earlier, like it's Christmas Eve or whatever.

379
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: You know, like that's the way it's supposed to be

380
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: when you're a kid, Like you're looking forward to certain things.

381
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: You can't wait to see him. I think that that's awesome.

382
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: I'd love to hear that. Yeah. And Marvel, Marvel is

383
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: Star Wars for this generation like you and I, Star

384
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: Wars has been it and it's been the big movie

385
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: event of our lives and we're still talking about it.

386
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: It's still relevant. But Marvel is my daughter's star as

387
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: much as she likes Star Wars. I mean it's all Marvel.

388
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: I mean, she's gonna grow up going. I mean, that's

389
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: what this is. Marvel is the Star Wars of twenty twenty,

390
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: and that's how it goes. One bit of advice I

391
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 1: do have for you, Roup before you get into the NBA.

392
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: Come in a couple minutes. If you go to the

393
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: movies and you get popcorn and you get butter, don't

394
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: wipe your hands on the white jeans. Oh okay, can't.

395
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: Can't do that, all right, just know that right. Thanks

407
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: and I are on the same page that that. Look,

408
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 1: neither of these teams are elite, and they are uh

409
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: you know, look they've outlasted everybody. I gave you the

410
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: over under of twenty five times. You were gonna say

411
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: fugazzy over the course of the show too. You're coming

412
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: up on it right now. You're a twenty one from

413
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: the beginning of the Jays fougaysy foo, gaysy foo, gaysy. Okay,

414
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: now you're at twenty six. All right, there you go.

415
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: You hit the You hit the over. Even though that

416
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 1: was kind of a it was kind of a cheap

417
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: way to hit the over. No, it wasn't. Because the

418
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: NBA Finals is fou gaizy. I don't care what anybody says.

419
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be the Brooklyn Nets and the Los

420
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: Angeles Clippers. That's what it was supposed to be. Well,

421
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: we almost got it, but but the Nets couldn't stay

422
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 1: healthy and Kawhi couldn't stay out. That's kind of what

423
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs have been. It's been everybody's getting hurt. But

424
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: I do have to say, even though this is the case,

425
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: it's really impressive to see Phoenix grinding through these games

426
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: the way they are because they're not playing their best games, right,

427
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: We've seen them play their best games when they're scoring

428
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty points and Chris Paul's twenty seven

429
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: and nine and Devin Booker's got thirty three and eight

430
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: in his twenty one and twelve. But they are finding

431
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: a way to grind, and that's sometimes what championship teams do. Like,

432
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: not every NBA playoffs is created equal. It's not every hey,

433
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna watch a team just outscore everybody all the

434
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: way through. Sometimes it's a grind. And it's impressive to

435
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: see the Suns grind the way they are because they

436
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 1: are finding a way to make the plays that the

437
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: Bucks aren't. And they've clearly been the best team in

438
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: the playoffs so far, so that part of it for

439
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: the Suns to me is really impressive. Nah, I get it.

440
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's not like they came out of Noah

441
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 1: at the second best record in the West. I'll give

442
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: them all of that, but I just remember, it's hard

443
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: for me to really be all the way in like, oh,

444
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 1: this is all about the Suns. I don't think it's

445
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: all about the Suns. I think it's all about what's

446
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: happened to the other teams around them, if I remember correctly,

447
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 1: And Jason stopped me if I'm wrong, most people, especially

448
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: on this radio network, after the Lakers one Game three

449
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: and we're up two to one, thought they were in

450
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: control of the series and had a clear path to

451
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals. Am I right or wrong? Yes? Correct,

452
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: that's what people thought. And then a d got hurt

453
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 1: in Game four and it changed everything. And while Yogis

454
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: did a great job in Denver, you know when Jamal

455
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: Murray got hurt, they kept winning or whatever, it caught

456
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 1: up to them. Eventually. You can't lose a player like

457
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray and expect for everything to keep going, and

458
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna get to the Western Conference Finals, no problem. Okay,

459
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: so we know that. And then even the Clippers, I mean,

460
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: stop me if you think if Kawhi Lennard was healthy,

461
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: do the Clippers beat the Suns, No doubt about it.

462
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I won't even blink an eye

463
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: to think that that the Clippers would have beaten them.

464
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 1: If you remember there were two games there where they

465
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: could have won. You remember Paul George missed two free

466
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: throws and then they lost one at the buzzer where

467
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: Aidan had a you know, a dunk at the end,

468
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 1: you know, with no time left. Those that could have

469
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: turned the whole series around. And if Kawhi was there,

470
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: So I get it. Devin Booker's been fantastic. Aidan's been fantastic.

471
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: You know. Chris Paul has come up big. We saw

472
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: it with the big forty one points in Game six

473
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: against the Clippers to close them out. He's at the

474
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: big Game one in the NBA Finals. He's played well.

475
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 1: And I'm not taking anything away from them, but I

476
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: just still feel like their success has a lot to

477
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: do with other people's injuries more so than just being Phoenix.

478
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: And now they're in a situation where you know, they've

479
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: gotten those opportunity and now they've made the best of them.

480
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: Obviously they're halfway home. It's not over, but they're halfway there.

481
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: And Phoenix has been around fifty two years and has

482
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: never won a championship. And remember it at Charles Barkley

483
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: didn't win in nineteen ninety three, the last time they've

484
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: been there. And here they are, Jason on the cusp

485
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: of finally winning a championship for that franchise. Where other

486
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 1: vans stop short. Mercedes Benz Vans go far beyond from

487
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: their customization options cutting edge tech to their five star

488
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: sales service and financial support crew. Mercedes Benz Vans are built, equipped,

489
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: an engineered to be ready for anything. So go the

490
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: extra mile by taking that all important first step into

492
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: in via the hotline Fox Sports one NBA Insider Extraordinaire.

493
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: You can fall on Twitter at Rick Buker. It is

494
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: Rick Buker who's got a big podcast out that says

495
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: last night Jannis was enough. He just didn't have enough. Rick,

496
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: Welcome inside, man. How you doing? What's up, gentlemen? How

497
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: are you rob good? Going good? We're better than the

498
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: Bucks today, that's for sure. Yeah, well, yeah, for sure

499
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: when it comes to the series. But if the Phoenix

500
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: Suns keep going down the way they have with Dario

501
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: Sartz in game one and Tory Craig in game two,

502
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 1: we'll see where he is going forward. Um, the the

503
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: advantage that the Suns have as far as depth is concerned,

504
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: can shift a little bit, and so we'll see. It's

505
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: it's if I hadn't seen this before from the Bucks,

506
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: then I would feel more troubled about whether we're going

507
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 1: to get an interesting series or not. But I still

508
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: believe that we are, because I still believe that the

509
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: Bucks have not come close to showing us their best hand.

510
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 1: Thank you. Rick Buker is on the Rob Parker page

511
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: of Positivity. Well, I've been getting ripped. Yes, I've been

512
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: getting ripped all morning because I'm with you, Rick. I

513
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: saw this movie against Brooklyn. They got run out of

514
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: the building by thirty nine, and somehow they won that

515
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: game three, you know, down the stretch, and they won

516
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: that and turned things around. And if and if Drew

517
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: Holliday and and and Chris Middleton played decent or regular

518
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: and they were down oh two, maybe I would feel different.

519
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: Jannie looks great, and if those guys give them anything

520
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: at home, we could be two two and have a

521
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: real series. Yeah, I know, I'm I'm right there with you.

522
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: Although I will say this about Robbie. You you you

523
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: really took away. Uh you kept saying I don't want

524
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: to take anything away from the Phoenix Sun, right, you

525
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: kind of took a lot away. I can't help you, Rick.

526
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: I think I think they're food gazing. They've been great.

527
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: But you know what, they haven't played everybody, and they've

528
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: been hurt and the opposition has been hurt. And I'm

529
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: not gonna take anything away from the Phoenix Suns. Poun

530
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: deserved to win both games in this series so far.

531
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 1: They were better coached, they played better, they played harder.

532
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: They deserved to win. I just don't know how much

533
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: better the Phoenix Suns can play, and I know the

534
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks can play much better. And everybody is killing

535
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: through Holiday and Chris Middleton for what they did offensively

536
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 1: drew Holiday, shooting seven for twenty one, Middleton only having

537
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: eleven points. The game was not lost at the offensive end.

538
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: They scored one hundred and eight points the average one

539
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: hundred and nine In the postseason, they shoot forty five

540
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: percent on average. In playoff game, they shot forty five percent.

541
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: Where they lost the game is the Phoenix Suns went

542
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: twenty for forty from three point range. They shot fifth.

543
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: That's that's what at least eight more threes per game

544
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: then Phoenix normally hits again in a playoff game, and

545
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: way above what their shooting percentages. That for me is

546
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: just a matter of effort and my trouble the reason

547
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: that I'm questioning whether if there's any question in my

548
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: head as to whether Milwaukee can come back, it's that

549
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: they have to make some specific adjustments, and Mike Boutenholzer

550
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: has just been really, really slow to make adjustments. He

551
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: made one which I thought was a great one in

552
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: taking PJ. Tucker off of Chris Paul. I'm not sure

553
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: why he ever had him there in the first place.

554
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: Drew Holliday did a nice job defensive. It doesn't look

555
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: like because of what Chris Paul shot, but he was

556
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: not the same playmaker eight assists, six turnovers. They had

557
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: to play through Devin Booker lot. Where the game was

558
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: really lost is the fact that Chris Middleton one was

559
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: terrible defensively. You want to know why mcal Bridges had

560
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: a career high twenty seven points, look no farther than Middleton,

561
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: who was on him most of the game. And p J. Tucker,

562
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: I just don't understand why he's playing thirty five minutes

563
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: a game when he's given you one defensive rebound and

564
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: Bobby Portis comes in and gives you an energetic four

565
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:28,959
Speaker 1: nearly five minutes and that's all he gets. I'm perplexed

566
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: by the personnel decisions that Boutenholzer is making. But I

567
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: think if they look at the tape, they will see,

568
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: you know what, PJ, You've served us well, you're a

569
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: big reason that we're here. But this series ain't for you, Bud.

570
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: We need to go with someone who's a little quicker,

571
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: a little more agile, and a little more of an

572
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: offensive threat, and that would be Bobby Portis. You know

573
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: the thing is Rick And why why I'm I'm I'm

574
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: bullish on the or bearish on the on the bucks

575
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: chances of coming back is that I get all of this,

576
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: but it's too nothing. It's not best to twenty five,

577
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: it's best to seven, and it's already to zip. And

578
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: I still feel like the Bucks are a team that

579
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: are trying to figure out who they are, right the

580
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: Suns at least know who they are, what they want

581
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: to do when they execute it. They've been grinding through this,

582
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: and I feel like the Bucks are still trying to go,

583
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: what do we want to do? They play big in

584
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: the first quarter, and you know they're inside and they're

585
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: doing what they should be doing, and they have the lead,

586
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: and then they just start shooting all kinds of crazy

587
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: threes in the second quarter, and then it's clear out

588
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: let Janis do his thing in the third quarter. I mean,

589
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: they're still trying to figure out what that formulas and

590
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: they're going to run out of games. Yeah, no, I

591
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: give I give you that. But two oh is not

592
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: the end of the world going home. I mean maybe

593
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: if it was two oh and you're now going on

594
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: the road, I'd lean a little more in that direction.

595
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: But two oh and going home, and the fact that

596
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: we've seen them figure themselves out through the course of

597
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: a series and then be successful is what again. I'm

598
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: not I'm not bagging on your position that it looks

599
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: like the Sons are the better team and that this

600
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: may not be a long series. I just I understand

601
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: why anybody would look see it that way. I just

602
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: look at the Bucks and think that their ability to

603
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: play much better and change the what has caused them

604
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: to lose is within their grasp. Because to your point,

605
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: like when you saw them in the first quarter or

606
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: you saw them in the third quarter, there are times

607
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: where they play for stretches and you go, oh wow,

608
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: they like they have things that the Sons don't have

609
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: an answer for. They don't have an answer for Janis

610
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: Notatkompo when he plays uh poised and gets into the

611
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: paint and and approaches the game offensively the way he

612
00:31:54,400 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: did in Game two. There So I just look at

613
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: some of the things that they have and like defending

614
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: the three better, giving multiple efforts defensively, that's well within

615
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: their realm. And they lost to a team that I

616
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: would say is I think we can all say the

617
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: Atlanta Hawks inferior to the Phoenix Suns. Are we comfortable

618
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: saying that? Yes? Okay, okay. We we saw the Atlanta

619
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: Hawks run them with Yannis right, and you're like, well,

620
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: what the hell, What's What's what's up with the what's

621
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: up with the Bucks? And then they turned around and

622
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: they just played more disciplined defense and we're more specific

623
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: about let's go to let's only play to our strengths

624
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: on offense, and they flipped the thing entirely around without

625
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: without Yannis, and I just that's the other part for me,

626
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: is I saw for the first time in Game two

627
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: the Yannis that I've been waiting to see. His numbers

628
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: have always been good, I've never seen him basically grab

629
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: that his team by the scruff of the neck and

630
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: say I'm gonna go get this. I'm gonna go get

631
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: this with my mid rain shot. I'm gonna go get

632
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: this by getting myself to the free throw line. I

633
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: don't care how well I'm shooting or not shooting. I

634
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: am going to punish the other team, particularly if they

635
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: play small. I saw a different Yannis in Game two

636
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: than other than maybe in the regular season when I

637
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: saw him go toe to toe with Kevin Durant against

638
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: the Nets. I haven't seen this Yannis, So the bar

639
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: is set in a different place. And if we continue

640
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: to see this Yannis and the rest of the Bucks

641
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: decide to come along for the ride, then I still

642
00:33:55,960 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: think that this could be a really interesting series. Sounds

643
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: like a smart NBA guy right there. I've been trying

644
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: to tell Jason smith Rick how long you've been covering

645
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 1: the league? Because I've been doing it since nineteen eighty seven.

646
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 1: I you've been doing it longer than me. My first

647
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: so this is a little bit of full circle. The

648
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: first NBA Finals that I ever covered, I came in

649
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: on a high note. Brother. I covered Bulls Sons ninety three. Wow. George,

650
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: I was there, George, Yeah, Jordan versus Barkley. That was

651
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 1: for Jordan with all of the gambling issues, right, Barkley

652
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: the pie Piper, the triple overtime in Chicago Stadium. Going

653
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: down to the locker room, Hannah Storm walks in. She's

654
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: just been engaged. She shows off her her ring to

655
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,720
Speaker 1: Charles and says, what do you think? And Charles says, damn, Hannah,

656
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 1: that's the biggest piece of sirdconium I've ever seen. She

657
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: turns on her heel and walks right back out. That

658
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: that finals had everything. That was. That was my introduction

659
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: to the NBA, and it's why I've loved it ever since.

660
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: That is amazing. And and Rick, I don't know when

661
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: so ninety three, but when I started in eighty seven

662
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 1: and I was covering the New Jersey Nets, we used

663
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: to fly commercial with the players. I don't know you

664
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: were were you were part of that? But they're still

665
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: doing it. No, they had, they had moved on by then. Yeah,

666
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 1: you're right, because because I think like eighty nine nineties

667
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: when the Pistol the business got the first private plane. Yep,

668
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,399
Speaker 1: you're right at the first private plane, and I think

669
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 1: everybody after that kind of kind of went that direction.

670
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: So can you imagine me sitting next to Sam Bowie,

671
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: who's seven foot talk in coach or the flight. And

672
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: back then you used to have to get on flights

673
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 1: to first flight out of every city, so we would

674
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: be on six am flight. It was unbelievable on the

675
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: plane with the referees, with the team the whole night,

676
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,399
Speaker 1: and the reporters. It was. It was something back then,

677
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,439
Speaker 1: the players hanging out at the carousel waiting for their

678
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 1: backs to come off the plane. Yes, like, oh my god,

679
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: that it was. That was too much. I saw I

680
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 1: saw Ronnie Cychlee one time sitting in a middle seat

681
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 1: in coach, the funniest thing I've ever seen. But I

682
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: mean it looked like a folding chair. And the other thing,

683
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: real quick, is that, you know, like whoever said, in

684
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: first class it went by seniority, not by stardom. So

685
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: if you were like a journeyman who played ten years,

686
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: you were in first class and the guy who they

687
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: just drafted with the first overall pick is sitting in coach. Yeah,

688
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: it was so good. It was so good that that that,

689
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: you know, here's the thing is, and I'm thinking that

690
00:36:54,600 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: as I watched, you know, the coverage today is what's

691
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 1: been lost is the that connection and that understanding. And

692
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: something I'm planning to talk about on one of my

693
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: future podcasts is that I wonder, for all of the

694
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: access that we have to NBA players today, are they

695
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: still relatable and do we still have a feel for

696
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: them as people in the same way? And I was

697
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: thinking about that as as I'm looking at photos of

698
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: James Harden at the at the fashion shows in Paris,

699
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: right and I'm thinking, like, does the average fan because

700
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about the ratings too, I'm like, does the

701
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:48,720
Speaker 1: average fan really connect with this? Like I'm not taking

702
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: anything away from the players and taking advantage of all

703
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: their various things, and yes they have social media to interact,

704
00:37:56,120 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: but you don't get I just don't know if you

705
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: get a feel for the who they are as people

706
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: and the ability to tell the stories of who they

707
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: are as people. Because I'll challenge both of you over

708
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: the last year, and this is part of this is

709
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: the pandemic obviously, but what in depth feature have you read?

710
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: What story have you read about a player over the

711
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: last year or maybe even two years that changed your

712
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: perspective of who they are as a person that made

713
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: you feel like, oh, you know what, I understand them

714
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: better as a person now. I don't think that the

715
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:43,479
Speaker 1: back and forth of the Kevin Durant on social media, Yeah,

716
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: it feels intimate. It feels like I'm getting the real

717
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, But then we're all going to jump to

718
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: conclusions as to what, you know, what lyric he's quoting

719
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: at any given time, and who he's going after and

720
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: what it means. I just I feel like something is

721
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: lost there as a result of the lack of access

722
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:08,720
Speaker 1: and connection between UH media members and and the players

723
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: and the teams and I and I and I understand

724
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: in some ways why it's it's gone away because it

725
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: to your point, like when you were traveling with guys,

726
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: when you covered guys, and when you had to be

727
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: in the locker room every day, like you had to

728
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: be about it all the time and you were going

729
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 1: to hear about it if you didn't get it right,

730
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: and you made sure you get it right. Now it's

731
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: all about like you to take a shot at this

732
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: guy and bought never in the locker room, never to

733
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: have to address and never have to face it. So

734
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: I just, uh, I think there's been. I think there's

735
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,439
Speaker 1: been something lost, and you just you know, you took

736
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: me down memory lane and here we go, and I
