WEBVTT - 06/03/21 DPS Best Of 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.520 Sports Radio. Welcome to the program. It's our one on 0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:10.040 this Thursday, Dan and The Dane's Dan Patrick Show. I 0:00:10.039 --> 0:00:12.040 don't know how we tapp yesterday. It was kind of 0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:15.120 a wild three hours where we had gotten word that 0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:18.759 Danny Ainge was stepping down, maybe retiring, although I don't 0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:21.640 think he's retiring. I think he'll end up with another 0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:25.360 team in the NBA, perhaps the Utah Jazz. And then 0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:28.040 Brad Stevens was no longer going to coach, he was 0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:32.120 moving into the front office. And then Mike Shashevsky announces 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:35.479 that this season will be his last season as a 0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:40.479 basketball coach. That's just Wednesday. I don't know what today holds, 0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:42.720 but you know, you start to think about this. You 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:45.360 may not like Duke, you may even hate them, but 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:48.000 it's hard not to respect what coach k has done 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:52.080 over the last four decades. He'll retire after this season. 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:54.960 John Schier, his assistant, will take over a former player, 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:57.520 and that gives us time to celebrate the winning his 0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:01.640 coach in history and to understand what he accomplished. I 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:03.800 think you have to remember what Duke was like when 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:06.440 he took over in nineteen eighty. Not an elite program. 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:10.640 Duke had had some prior success in the sixties, but 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:13.600 this is the premier program in the country. Won five 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:17.280 national titles. He did it with different styles, different players. 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.920 He broke through with upperclassmen one titles that way and 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:25.520 brace the one in dunners one titles that way, wasn't 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:29.160 plagued by scandals, and his players always stayed close to 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.520 the program after they left. He added Olympic gold medals 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.480 to his resume and did so much to grow the 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:40.760 sport here and abroad. So you might boo Duke, and 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.759 why not. I have no problem with that, but make 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:47.000 sure you cheer Coach K. Recognize an incredible impact on 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:51.400 the sport. Congratulations Coach K, going out the way you 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:55.280 want to go out. John Shire takes over, and I 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.920 wondered about John Shire. Now he had stayed there, but 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:04.640 the timing other players, Tommy Amaker, Johnny Dawkins, Quinn Snyder 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:10.360 years ago, Steve Wojahowsky like they had taken jobs. They 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:14.919 were waiting waiting, can't pass this up, And Coach K 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:19.200 would probably say to them, take those jobs. Jeff Capel like, 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:23.240 there's probably six or some Bobby Hurley. I mean, there's 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.800 a lot of former players where you go, he would 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:29.880 be ideal. John Shier was a player on a national 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.360 title team, but he's only been there seven years now, 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.720 age I think really factors in because he's thirty three 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:39.200 years of age. I thought Tommy Amaker was the ideal 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:44.160 coach because he's had success at Harvard, he's made Harvard 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:48.640 relevant in basketball. But he's fifty five years of age, 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:53.240 and had he been ten years younger, five years younger, 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:57.240 maybe he gets that job. Johnny Dawkins at Central Florida 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:01.080 team that nearly upset Duke in the tournament. Johnny was 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:07.280 coach K's first prize recruit. But John Shire gets the job. Now, 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.600 this is where we look at these legends. When the 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.320 legend leaves and then what happens. You never want to 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.680 be the guy who follows. You want to be the 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:17.440 guy who follows the guy who follows the legend. You 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.400 don't want to be the guy who follows the legend. 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:25.839 We've seen this before Ucla or Indiana, now Kentucky. After 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:29.040 eight off rupstep down, joe By Hall took over and 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:33.120 they won a national title there. But John Shire now 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:37.680 This is a completely different college basketball landscape, you know, 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:41.280 the one and done. You know, are we eventually going 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:43.320 to get those players coming right out of high school? 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:45.560 Does that change things? Are you going to try to 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.080 recruit upper classman? You want to get guys who can 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.360 stay maybe two years, maybe three years at the most. 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:55.880 But John Shire, that's a big seat. That's a big 0:03:55.920 --> 0:04:00.680 seat you're taken over. And he knows that. But I've surprised. 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:02.800 I was surprised that he was going to get the job. 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.360 And I think we've had John on before when he 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:07.840 was a player, after he won a national title. But 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.080 as far as you know basketball acumen, I know what 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.320 I've seen with these other players. You know, Bobby Hurley 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:18.840 has been successful Buffalo, Arizona State. You know, I'd mentioned 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:21.400 Johnny Dawkins has been at a couple of different stops. 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:25.760 Tommy Amaker obviously, so there there's a pretty good lineage here. 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:29.440 But John Shire, who has less on his coaching resume 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.800 than these other former players do. But I think he's 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:36.400 got age on his side, gonna have to recruit, got 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.880 to get out there. Even it's though it's Duke, you know, 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:42.240 Coach k that's the closer you know when you're bringing 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:46.880 in the closer, that's Marianna Rivera. Yeah, you walk into 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:51.880 his office and you probably see trophies and you know, pictures, moments, 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:55.799 nets from championships and you're going, all right, this seems 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:57.440 like a pretty plus. If you've ever been on the 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:01.480 Duke campus, that's pretty good place. Too beautiful place, but 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:04.160 you got to get out there and recruit. And college 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:08.600 basketball has changed. If I was coaching, I would if 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.920 I was just starting to coach, I would realize what 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:15.359 the landscape is. The players are going to get paid 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:19.760 by somebody. The question is you may not know about 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:25.040 it because everybody's got their hand in somebody's pocket. And 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.919 I think after a while that would be that'd be 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.120 really tough to deal with on a day to day, 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:34.800 you know, week to week, month to month, year to 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.920 year basis. Where this is what college basketball is all about, 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:42.160 players going to the G League. I mean, there's this 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:45.680 hasn't settled yet. I don't know where we're headed, but 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:50.440 we're headed in some direction in college athletics. And is 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.599 it a seismic shift, I don't know, but it feels 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:57.160 like something is going to happen. It's going to happen 0:05:57.200 --> 0:06:00.160 in college football, the haves and the have nots. It's 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.080 going to happen in basketball with players. Do they go 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:06.640 to a G league? Do they go right to the NBA? 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:09.400 Those who do go to college, how long are they 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.599 going to stay at college? You know, the shoe companies, 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.920 all of those. I mean, there's just so much involved 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.800 in this, a whole lot to unpack. But coach k 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.679 you know, it's almost like you survived forty one years 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.200 because it's a it's a grind. And I know you're 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:30.520 only recruiting how many players signing but four players? Five 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:35.560 players a year, maybe maybe six, But you know, you 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.039 got to keep them there, keep them happy, playing time. 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:41.120 Everybody wants they're touches. Everybody thinks they're a star. You're 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.719 coming into Duke, you're one and done. You know, look 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:48.800 at what's John Calipari's going through. Coach call the king 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:51.560 of the one and donners got you know, I had 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.960 a horrible year this year now, and these kids weren't great. 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.960 They're not great talent. They're not you know, transcendent talent 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.039 where you go, Okay, I'm gonna put up with this. 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:03.920 You got guys who average like six points a game 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.520 and they're going into the NBA. You know, they said, 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:14.560 I'm going into the draft. Guy's transfer. But everybody has potential. 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:19.160 When you get to college, everybody's got potential, and you're 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:22.960 told so many things. Hey, you know what, you should 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.120 be averaging twenty. Hey you're the number one guy. You 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:28.240 gotta get your touches. Now, that's what that's how it works. 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.320 Now you don't go in there and still you still 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:33.520 have a coach who is your coach, and he is 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:37.240 he's got the final say. But you see player empowerment 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:42.239 in the NBA, and probably started when Magic Johnson got 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:46.760 Paul westhead fired. I mean, that's probably where player empowerment 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:50.840 first started. And we're seeing this in all sports. But 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:54.480 to be a coach now, to be at least in college, 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.040 you get to control. And that that's why, you know, 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.480 it's always interesting when somebody wants to coach, Like when 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:03.720 coach thought about coaching the Lakers, and I went, he's 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:07.480 not wired to do that. Urban Meyer is going to 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:10.720 coach in the NFL. I still don't think he's wired 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:15.200 to do it. I got no salary cap in college. 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:17.480 I don't have to worry about you know, a lot 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:22.840 of this stuff. I might lose two games, he may 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:25.600 lose two games in the first month of the season, 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:29.360 and then Coach K is going to coach the Lakers 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:33.600 just the losing. They're so used to winning, and you 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:35.520 could see it with Coach K. I don't know if 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.840 he really enjoyed the wins as much as those losses 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:42.560 are so painful, and he didn't have that many losses. 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:45.160 When you think about the numbers that he's put up, 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:50.000 He's got one thousand, one hundred seventy wins three hundred 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:54.120 and sixty one losses. Second on the list is Jim 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:58.640 Beheim nine hundred eighty two. Jim Calhoun has nine hundred 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:03.560 and eighteen. That's a sneaky number for coach Calhoun. Roy 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:07.560 Williams just retired. He has nine hundred three. Bob Knight 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:12.640 had nine hundred two. Bob Huggins has nine hundred. Man, 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.640 it feels like these guys are dinosaurs. Adolph Roup coach 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:19.920 forty one years, Dean Smith thirty six, Bob Huggins thirty nine, 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:24.520 Bob Knight forty two, Roy Williams thirty three, Jim Calhoun 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:31.000 forty three, Bay Hund forty five, Mike Shashevski forty six. Yeah, 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:34.400 I don't know if the younger coaches like you set 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:36.920 sail and you go, I'm gonna coach for thirty years. 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:42.679 Good luck with that. Good luck with that. This program 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.559 is brought to you by the great folks at Dollar 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:48.760 Shave Club. Father's Day is coming up.

Seaton came over and we were 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:24.679 shooting our album covers. We uh, well, the French kid 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:28.199 was there weeks, our other cameraman doing behind the scenes, 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:32.880 and it was a closed set. You know, when you 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.160 have nudity in a movie, there'll be a close set. 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:40.160 And uh, you know, Seaton came out and went to 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:44.839 the pool and it wasn't as cold as I thought, 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:49.760 or maybe it seemed, but um, how are you judging 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:53.360 that by thermometer? It was an interesting comment. Yeah, I 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.480 mean I didn't know if it was that cold. But um, 0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:00.200 is that a compliment to Seaton? Oh? Well, Seaton was 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.880 a true champ. He jumped in. He was a true champ. Oh, 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.160 I see what you guys are talking about. I was 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.400 just talking about I was just talking about the temperature 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.200 of the water. It is odd that all the other 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:13.800 photo shoots that we've been in so far took about 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:15.839 three seconds ord be like click, Okay, I think we 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.080 got I leave this one forty five minutes. I'm still 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:19.760 in the water. I know. I kept saying to the 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.560 French sand I don't know if you really got the 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:27.600 angle that we need for this album cover. But Seaton 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:31.760 was a true champ there. And then after a while, 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:35.040 I mean, I don't know, I'd suggested that we all 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:39.360 get naked just to have Seaton feel good. It was 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:43.200 just a very comfortable environment. Yeah. Yeah, you know, when 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:46.000 I've been on those Sports Illustrated swimsuit shoots, I mean 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.960 I feel like I should have very little on when 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:53.040 I'm there when they're taking the pictures. But Seaton got 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:58.440 in the water yesterday and this calendar is going to 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:03.199 be spectacular. It is, I think in a good way. 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:06.480 I mean it'll be something. Yes, Paully, are you considering 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:08.760 making this photo three D in the calendar? Any thoughts 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.000 of that, like a hologram where it kind of moves 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:17.800 and moves with you. No, But but I I think 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:21.040 we captured it yesterday. I think I think so. I 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:23.320 think it's uh. I think we got a couple more 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:26.920 album covers now. These will be each month in the calendar, 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.280 and then we have rejected ones, the ones that we're 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:31.880 not going to be able to use. We have some 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:35.520 fun ones as well. Yes, McLevin, um I would saying 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:37.280 I would have saved this idea. But I have a 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:43.320 brilliant business idea with the calendar. Okay, well, when are 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.079 you going to tell me? I don't know, I do 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.520 you want to tell me privately? Privately? But there's a 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:52.120 trend that is taking over sports right now that this 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:57.080 feels like I know where he's going. Okay, save it? 0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:02.320 Oh is this an n F? I think we're diving 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:06.040 into that territory a little bit. Oh, I for one 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.319 won't be buying that one the first one. Would somebody 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:12.960 want Seaton in my pool, and you would own that 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.040 somebody would want it, just depends on how many people 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:21.960 would want it. Would your wife want it? I don't know. Yeah, 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:25.320 she doesn't find my things nearly as amusing as other 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.160 people do. These days. She's been around my she knows 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:31.800 my bits. There's there's a there's At one point, Seaton's 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:35.840 leaning on the fence looking out over my front yard 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:41.960 and he doesn't have anything on. So I just said, man, 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:46.240 somebody's really enjoying the moment here. Very comfortable, very comfortable. 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:49.360 And then I realized, you know, I'm always looking to 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.160 see if my neighbors are around, because you know, they're 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:55.360 not used to seeing that at my house. And uh, 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:58.000 seton Seaton, I said, yeah, I think we got it. 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:00.880 I think we got it. Now, let's go see, let's 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.880 go on. Let's taking safety. He was taking his time. 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:06.080 Are you sure we got it? Yeah, I think we 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:09.360 got it. And the French kid, French kid had an 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:13.840 underwater camera went in the water up to his you know, 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.160 his shoulders, trying to get the right shot. I mean 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:20.880 it was there. It was pretty impressive. Yes, Mclem Jacques Cousto, Yeah, 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:27.080 the French kid, Yes, the undersea World of Jacques couste Yeah, 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:30.320 all right, pull question today. This is a silly one, 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:33.440 but I was curious about who is the best trash 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:36.560 talker on the Dan Patrick Show to you, Coach K, 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:40.960 Coach Calipari, or Coach Beheim. And keep in mind, all 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:43.960 three just love to get into with you. It's like 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:50.240 a basketball school yard. Coach K is subtle, like he's sneaky. 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:57.880 I think Calipari is more of a trash talker. Coach 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:01.120 K does it, but doesn't in a way where you go, 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.360 is he taking a shot at me? Coach Cow I know, 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:07.600 I know he's always coming and he's always he's bringing it. 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:11.720 That's that Pittsburgh mentality on him. Beheim is not. He'll 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:16.520 just say things like, Okay, finally got good enough be 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:22.720 on your show. So it's not trash talking. It's cavetching. 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:24.800 I think is would be the word there for the 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.680 back row. Yes, mcclub oh, I was. I remember the 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:30.640 Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year event where you introduced 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:33.040 Coach K. Yeah, and I was. We were all back 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.520 there with you, and Coach K was being ferried around 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:37.960 everywhere he saw you. He immediately broke off from all 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:39.600 the things he was supposed to do and came and 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:43.080 delivered three jokes he was dying to, like just joke 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:47.400 around with you. Yes, Polly, coach Coach Beheim always sounds like, 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:48.640 you know, when you're trying to start your card and 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:56.520 won't turn over, hoping it clicks like one of those 0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:08.080 really cold winter mornings. Yes, we have another pole hardest 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:12.360 name to spell in sports. We might want to save 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:14.440 that because Paul thinks he could get some of these, 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.600 but it's really I mean, you know, Todd is famous 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:26.359 for winning spelling b oh controversial spelling Saturday capital ass 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:35.160 um denti coompole is probably pretty tough. I don't think 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.840 Shashevsky is that hard because I always looked at as 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:42.160 It starts crazy k r z y, so I always 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:48.400 think crazy and then uh Jusky, so crazy Jusky. Remember 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:50.160 those names you had to do for the NBA draft? 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:54.800 Those here, Oh, Nicholas. Skittish Valley was one of my favorites, 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:56.640 and I don't think there's an S in there. It 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:58.760 starts skittish Valley. I think it starts with that d 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:09.159 it does man Manu tasa sopo oh, that starts spelling 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:12.240 be gun. Yeah, but he didn't know how he knew 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:15.720 how to spell the words that they're familiar with. I 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:20.760 gave him these names. He had no idea. Bless you, 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:23.800 What what name did I give him? Where are you 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:30.000 the Steelers fullback? Oh? Chris Fuamatum follow He thought you 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:33.280 were punking him, bless you. Oh, he's like nine years 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:38.200 of age. He's probably a billionaire now, some tech giant, 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:44.720 some origin of the name. Yes, two is a tough one. Yeah. 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:52.360 And Nicholas. Oh, Nikolai Hobby Bulin, that's Cabibulin. Yeah, well 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:54.879 that's what I said when he first The first highlight 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:59.399 I ever did of this goaltender, Nikolai Hobby Bulin, and 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.560 he just been called up, and you know, we're live 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:05.280 on Sports Center. I get this shot sheet that has 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:09.040 like four plays on it, and nobody gives me a 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:13.600 pronouncer and I go and Nikolai Cabibulin get off the air, 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:16.840 and then one of our hockey guys goes, it's a 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:21.400 Hobby Bullen. I said, oh, okay, so the k is silent. 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:24.159 He goes, yeah, Hobby Bulling. I said, I got the 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:28.000 Nicholas part. Yeah, point the fighter that I'm a fighter 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.960 could be Narmaga made off which I could barely pronounce. 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:35.359 I'm probably wrong. Yeah, you're pretty good at it. I 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:39.280 just say culbib yeah, which a lot of people do. Yeah. 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:41.720 I took Greek freak. Thank god he's got that nickname. 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:46.600 Anything else. I have some Celtics related polls. I could 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:48.800 save them for Chris Mannox, who is going to join 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:53.080 us again. And he's beside himself. He I know less 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:57.680 about the Celtics today than I did yesterday. But Mannix 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:01.760 is so passionate man he is. Because Okay, so I 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:04.600 have one of the great young coaches in the NBA, 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:08.440 and I'm gonna put him in the front office. Brad 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:14.640 Stevens is forty four. An ownership says yeah, okay, Danny's 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:17.760 gonna step down and we're gonna have Brad Stevens be 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:24.720 a general manager. Okay. And it was awkward the press 0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:29.520 conference yesterday. It almost felt like, Okay, how do we 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:32.760 how do we sell the media? How do we sell 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:35.600 the public on this? You have the owner, you have 0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:39.200 Ange and Brad Stevens, and I I just kept going 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:45.120 this time to make any sense. You you found your coach, Okay, 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:48.440 find a GM. All right. Let me take a break 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:51.359 here getting all fired up, and you know I'm not 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:55.680 as invested as Chris Mannox is, but Mannox will join 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:58.000 us coming up and we'll talk about what happened last night. 0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:01.280 Seventy six Ers close out the Wizards, Hawks close out 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:04.600 the Knicks, Jazz bounced the Grizzlies, maps up three two 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:10.280 on the Clippers, Nuggets, Blazers game six tonight, Suns Lakers 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:15.199 games six tonight.

The highest points 0:20:55.520 --> 0:21:00.879 per game in playoff history minimum ten games. Michael Jordan, 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:04.680 perhaps you have put her dub him thirty three point 0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:07.720 four points per game, and then it's Luca don Chick 0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:12.719 at thirty two point eight points per game. So Luca's 0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:18.280 second all time minimum of ten games playoff history. McLevin, Yeah, 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:22.040 I have the full list. Alan iversonce, third, Kevin Durant, 0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:24.879 and then your guy Jerry West. Then Lebron. Not not 0:21:24.960 --> 0:21:28.360 a bad group to be in. And there's a Lebron 0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:31.359 feel to Luca. If you look back at Lebron at 0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:36.800 this age, you can see some similarities there. You know, 0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:39.240 Lebron was a score he was a pass first guy. 0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:42.679 Luca's a score first guy. But you can see some 0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:45.840 similarities there in the numbers that they put up. Chris 0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:48.960 Mannox joined us yesterday on short notice after we learned 0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:52.560 that Danny Ainge stepping down, Brad Stevens stepping up, and 0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:55.560 Chris wanted some answers to some questions. He got a 0:21:55.640 --> 0:21:59.200 chance to take part in the press conference yesterday and 0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:02.520 Chris on Own from Sports illustrated their senior writer with 0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:05.920 the NBA. Chris, um, I feel like I know less 0:22:05.960 --> 0:22:08.280 today than I did yesterday. How do you feel about 0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:12.800 this situation? Well? I think I know, or maybe we've 0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:17.280 knows the wrong word. I feel a little more comfortable 0:22:17.359 --> 0:22:23.440 with certain aspects of this. Specifically, I'm less certain that 0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:28.520 Brad Stevens would have been back as head coach if 0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:31.679 he wasn't elevated to this job. And that was the 0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:34.840 question I asked Brad yesterday, you know, would he be 0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:40.119 comfortable and happy going forward just as the head coach? 0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:43.280 And look, he answered in the affirmative. But if you 0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:45.639 listen to the answer, it wasn't you know, kind of 0:22:45.640 --> 0:22:50.120 a resounding yes, you know to that that question. So 0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:54.600 I wonder about that now. I do think if the 0:22:54.600 --> 0:22:59.040 Celtics had hired Sam Presty, as they probably should have, 0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:03.160 he would have had convinced Brad steven to be needed, 0:23:03.160 --> 0:23:06.639 convincing to stay on the relationship between those two is 0:23:06.720 --> 0:23:10.160 rock solid. But if it had just been anybody else 0:23:10.200 --> 0:23:14.199 an internal promotion Mike zarrein the assistant GM there, I 0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:16.120 don't know. Maybe you would have stuck around for a year, 0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:18.360 but I don't know if he would have been as 0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:21.560 committed as he's been for the last eight years as 0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:24.400 the head coach. I just don't know if they strengthened 0:23:24.400 --> 0:23:27.520 the organization. If Aine steps down and then you take 0:23:27.600 --> 0:23:29.720 your coach, and then you put him into the front 0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:31.879 office and his first job is to then hire a 0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:35.960 coach to replace him. They had one of the bright 0:23:36.480 --> 0:23:41.320 young coaches in the NBA, they did, and a coach that, 0:23:41.480 --> 0:23:46.200 despite a rocky last few years, was still widely regarded 0:23:46.240 --> 0:23:51.280 by his peers as a top five coach, top ten. 0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:54.840 Oh everyone to frame it in the NBA, and now 0:23:55.080 --> 0:23:59.160 they begin a coaching search for his replacements while he 0:23:59.840 --> 0:24:03.119 is running the front office as a novice. I completely 0:24:03.119 --> 0:24:05.679 agree with you, I don't I don't know how you 0:24:05.680 --> 0:24:10.120 can look at the situation objectively and say the organization 0:24:10.280 --> 0:24:14.600 improved now. Who he hires his coach will influence that opinion. 0:24:14.680 --> 0:24:17.160 But I know I sound like a broken record Dan 0:24:17.560 --> 0:24:20.520 with this Sam Presti stuff. But that's the best GM 0:24:20.520 --> 0:24:25.160 in basketball, who grew up in suburban Massachusetts, who probably 0:24:25.280 --> 0:24:30.320 views the Celtics as his dream job. Where's the phone call? 0:24:30.320 --> 0:24:33.440 Where is the aggressiveness? Why? Why did this move need 0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:38.000 to happen right now? I don't think Brad Stevens is 0:24:38.000 --> 0:24:42.480 worse than you know other candidates. I'm specifically only talking 0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:46.400 about Sam Presti, an elite general manager who was available. 0:24:46.440 --> 0:24:50.159 I don't know why that conversation didn't take place. But 0:24:50.560 --> 0:24:52.800 was there a chance that Brad Stevens was not gone 0:24:52.840 --> 0:24:56.120 if he didn't move up, Like was he given a hey, 0:24:56.280 --> 0:25:01.080 we need you to move up because Danny's angels retiring. No, 0:25:02.440 --> 0:25:07.159
