Say good morning to our radio and TV partners. 14 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: For better or for worse, the NBA Playing Tournament is 15 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,639 Speaker 1: here and we got a great matchup Lakers versus the Warriors, 16 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: Lebron versus Staph. Now it's not a door die game 17 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,959 Speaker 1: because the loser plays the winner of the Grizzly Spurs 18 00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: nine ten matchup with another chance to advance. Meanwhile, the East, 19 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: the Celtics and the Wizards play the eight nine game 20 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: of the East Pacers in the Hornets face off in 21 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: the nine ten I know, tough to follow. Lakers Warriors, though, 22 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: is by far the highlight we'll see if Los Angeles 23 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: is vulnerable. Because Lebron just returned to the lineup, Lakers 24 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: seem pretty confident that they're ready to go for that 25 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: postseason as they try to defend their title. The debate 26 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: over whether the playing tournament is a good idea is 27 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: going to have to wait until after this season. But 28 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: for now, we can enjoy these games knowing that at 29 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: least one of these teams advances and could be very, 30 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: very dangerous there. You know, tough to follow, and you're 31 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: waiting till the late games on Sunday night to find 32 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: out who's playing who, when where, and then you find 33 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: out Lakers Warriors will be at ten o'clock on Wednesday night. 34 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: It's a marquee matchup. But you know, we got Lebron 35 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: coming back, although he's not gonna be hundred percent certainly 36 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: with that ankle. And you got Steph Curry, who to 37 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: me has been the MVP. He's not going to win, 38 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: but he has been incredible. And I know I defend 39 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: Steph Curry a lot, but the reason I do is 40 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: because I think he's unfairly labeled. When he first came in, 41 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 1: we didn't know, you know, did he have the durability? 42 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: He had a tender ankle there. Mark Jackson was the coach. 43 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: Then Steve Kerr comes in. Things change, got Clay Thompson, 44 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: Draymond Greene, and then they get Kevin Durant, And I 45 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: just thought at the time, you know Steph Curry, all, okay, 46 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: you know he needed Kevin Durant. No, he didn't, and 47 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: he did it before Kevin Durant. Did you go back 48 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: to twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, he was incredible. Oh he's 49 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: just a product of this system. Okay, So what is 50 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: the system now? He's the system. You don't have Clay Thompson, 51 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,679 Speaker 1: you don't have your number one draft pick. You got 52 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,399 Speaker 1: some guys you don't even know. Kent Baysmore was still 53 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: in the league. You didn't even know when he was 54 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: in the league. Is it Mitchell Wiggins, Alan Wiggins, Is 55 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: it some Wiggins? Yeah, exactly, Jordan Pool or is it 56 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: Paul Jordan. Nobody knows these guys. But you know, Steph 57 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: went for forty six last night, averaging thirty two a game. 58 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: So what's the system. Steph, he's the system. They're struggling 59 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: to just get into the playoffs. That's why he's not 60 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: going to win the MVP. But I did think of 61 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: the beginning of the year he'd be your MVP because 62 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: Clay would be healthy and you would see Steph Curry 63 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: b the Steph Curry of twenty fifteen. This is the 64 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: Steph Curry of twenty fifteen. They just didn't have a 65 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: good team. Even Lebron James late to the party, agrees 66 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: with me on Steph Curry. We just gotta play to 67 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: the best of our ability. We gotta play Lakers basketball. 68 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: We got to defend at a high rate. You know, 69 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: we're playing verse in my opinion, the MVP of our 70 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: league this year and Steph so um. You know, we 71 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: gotta be, you know, prepared for everything that they have. 72 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: They got championship DNA as well. You know, they know 73 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: what it takes and what it feels like to be 74 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: in pressure game. So you know, we gotta be ready 75 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: for that opportunity and that for that pressure. Lebron, thank you, 76 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: you're late to the party, but I appreciate you saying that. 77 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if you would have said that if 78 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: you weren't facing Steph in this play in game. But 79 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: that's okay. I'll take anybody who wants to join my 80 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: bandwagon here. But Steph has been wonderful this season, averaging 81 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: a career best thirty two points. This is his second 82 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: scoring title. He went ten let's see sixteen for thirty six. 83 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: He had forty six points against the Grizzlies. Look, I 84 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: don't know if they can pull off this upset against 85 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 1: the Lakers. But with Steph, of all of the players 86 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 1: in the league, he's one of those guys where you 87 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: go gosh if he gets hot, because he can put 88 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: up forty. The question is can you get some droplets 89 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: from everybody else where you make it really interesting. The 90 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: Lakers will, I think, play great defense on Steph. Like 91 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,559 Speaker 1: I have my doubts about Steph going for forty because 92 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: I think the Lakers are a good defensive team. They 93 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: have length, and they have done well against Steph Curry 94 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,119 Speaker 1: this season. There are two teams that do well against 95 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,679 Speaker 1: Steph Curry at least this season, the Clippers and the Lakers. 96 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: But all it takes is one night for Steph Curry. 97 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: Because we've seen this before, we'll come up with the 98 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: pole question, Play of the Day, stat of the Day. 99 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: Rudy tom Janovic was inducted into the Hall of Fame 100 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: player and coach, and I thought he brought up of 101 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: all of the things said this weekend. Then they were 102 00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: wonderful speeches. The composure that Essa Bryant showed is lost 103 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: on me, like, like how do you do it? Like 104 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: how do you get up there and do it with 105 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: such composure and grace? And then she ended her speech 106 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: this way, Congratulations, baby, all of your hard work and 107 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: sacrifices paid off. You once told me, if you're going 108 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: to bet on someone, bet on yourself. I'm glad you 109 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: bet on yourself, you overachiever. You did it. You're in 110 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. Now you're a true champ. You're 111 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: not just an MVP, You're an all time great. I'm 112 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: so proud of you. I love you forever and always. 113 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: Kobe Bean Bryant, who that's the third time I've heard 114 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: it still hits me, man. But just Tim Duncan. Tim 115 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: Duncan didn't have any notes. Tim Duncan just talked. We 116 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: never heard from Tim when he played. They never cared 117 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: about any of that. It's just like a taller version 118 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: of John Stockton from the damdpoint of I just played 119 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: basketball like I don't I don't need anything else. And 120 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: he got up and he just spoke from the heart 121 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: about well everybody, including Greg Popovich, where you just like, 122 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,559 Speaker 1: those are really poignant speeches, you know. Kevin Garnett. Kevin 123 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: Garnett kept trying to compliment Tim Duncan, but I know 124 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: there's this the intense rivalry, and KG would have to say, 125 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: no, no no, I'm you know, I'm being you know, I'm serious, 126 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: you know, because Tim is probably going, yeah, right, okay, yeah, KG, 127 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: all right. It's just wonderful moments. I mean, I love this. 128 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: I've been to the Basketball Hall of Fame. The first 129 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: time I went there was when Marovich got inducted, and 130 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: it's just one of those where you just walk around, 131 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: you know, and it comes alive, the voices come alive 132 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: in there. And to see all of those greats there, 133 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: and Michael Jordan was there, Kim Mulki, former Baylor head coach, 134 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: who was a great point guard in her own right 135 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: now going to LSU. She got inducted. It's just wonderful. 136 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: It's a celebration of the sport for all of the 137 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: great things, and Rudy tom Janovic got up there and 138 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: I did not expect this to come out of his mouth. 139 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: I want to speak up for Robert Gory to be 140 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: inductive into the Hall of Fame. He is true a 141 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: legendary player. He made so many clutch shots. He's got 142 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 1: seven rings to prove it. This is where he belongs. 143 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: I went, whoah, I got a topic for a Monday 144 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: show because we've brought this up before. We've had Robert 145 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: on before to talk about this, and you don't want 146 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,839 Speaker 1: to when you bring up Robert Ory. Yes, part of 147 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: seven championship teams, big shot Bob, but he was an 148 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: average regular season player. He had less than eight thousand 149 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: career points. He started about thirty percent of the time. Like, 150 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: what is a Hall of Famer? We get caught up 151 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: in stats. It's all about stats. We've joked about Julian Edelman. 152 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: You know you can't you can't write the history of 153 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: these sports without Julian Edelman and you can't do it 154 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: with Robert without Robert Ory. Now does that make you 155 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer? Neither made the Pro Bowl, he 156 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: neither made an All Star team. I love the conversation. 157 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: I like that we don't forget some of these players 158 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: who did contribute, knew their roles. But then how far 159 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: do you extend If I put Robert Or into the 160 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, I'm putting Julian Edelman into the Pro 161 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: Football Hall of Fame. Contributions, big games, MVP of a 162 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: Super Bowl playoff numbers. Do I put Derek Fisher in 163 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: the basketball Hall of Fame? He had more points in 164 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: the regular season, he had ten thousand career points, he 165 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: won five rings. You know who has the most postseason 166 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:36,719 Speaker 1: games of all time? Derek Fisher. I don't know if 167 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: he's a Hall of Famer. I like the discussion, but 168 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: I don't like getting to the point where you then 169 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: denigrate a player, and I don't want to do that. 170 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: Robert Or contributed on a big stage, and I applaud 171 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: his former coach Rudy tom Janovic for giving him a 172 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: shout out there and giving me a little content today 173 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: that I can bring up to Reggie Miller a little 174 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: bit later on so AH seven seven three d P Show. 175 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: Email on to s DPA Dan Patrick dot com twitter 176 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: handle at DPS show mc love, and you have a 177 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: poll question for me today.

All right, well, I think 186 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,719 Speaker 1: I think we have the perfect one. It's just been 187 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: handed to our lab. Okay, would you rather be Robert 188 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: or would you rather have Robert or his career or 189 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 1: Chris Webber the new Hall of Famer's career, because Chris 190 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: never won the national title in college basketball, and I 191 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 1: don't think one one in the NBA he did not, 192 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: but I had a lot of All Stars and was 193 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: obviously a transformative figure. Yeah, he's going in next year 194 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: along with Ben Wallace, Chris Bosh. Yes, Paul, I'm gonna 195 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: get a little more extreme on Robert Ory. Would you 196 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: have a rather Robert Ory's career rings that go with 197 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: it or Carl Malone's career, and you're the greatest player 198 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: in NBA history to not win a title. He's considered that, 199 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: and it's really Barkley might be second, Ewing, might be third, 200 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. But Carl Malone's first ballot. He's 201 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: got it. He's got everything. He's got the numbers. He 202 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: does not have a ring. Ye, Robert Or's got seven, 203 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: and he's responsible for some of the seven. He's not 204 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 1: just along for the riding. Now ja Jack Hayley on 205 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: the Bulls offense. Um, I would take Carl Malone's career. 206 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: I mean, look, it's nice to win titles. I get it. 207 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: And Robert Ory has seven and Carl Malone came up 208 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: short twice against Michael Jordan. He's the second all time 209 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: leading scorer in the history of this sport. Durable. You know, 210 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: those those guys played eighty two games, no load management 211 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: they played. I would take Karmelo. Would I take Robert 212 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: Or or Chris Webber. That one's a little tougher. See 213 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: Webb was great, made a lasting impression in college. No titles. 214 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: I'd probably say Robert Or Oversea Webb. When Robert Or 215 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: walks down the street, they go there's big shot Bob. 216 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: Now they might go who's the tall guy there, They 217 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: might do that, But if you know Robert Doory, you 218 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: immediately go on, it's big shot Bob and he's got 219 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: those he's got those titles. Yes, right, I mean there's 220 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: something to be said about people thinking you're underappreciated or 221 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: underling man that dude belongs in the Hall of Fame. 222 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 1: And he's like, yeah, yeah, that's right, I do. Thanks. Yeah, yeah, 223 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the all time scoring leader list. I 224 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,439 Speaker 1: got one name here. How about Robert Ory versus Carmelo Anthony? 225 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: Is that even? I mean Carmelo did win that Syracuse. Yeah, 226 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: I would take Mellow's career. But, like Seaton was saying, 227 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: the expectations from Mello were so high that he almost 228 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: feels like he under underperformed where or exceeds his expectation. Well, 229 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: or wasn't good enough to be a starter, but he 230 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: was on good teams where he wasn't good enough to 231 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: be a starter. Mello was good enough to be a starter. 232 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: Therefore you expect more out of him. You know, he 233 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: had to get twenty five a night, but he also 234 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: wanted title at Syracuse like five times as much money too, 235 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: Yes he did. He made a lot of money, still 236 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: making a lot of money. Yes, Paul. What if I 237 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: dropped it down a little bit and said, someone like 238 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: Steve Nash who has two MVPs no rings, or Robert 239 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: or Robert or who's got seven rings these responses, I'd 240 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: rather be Steve Nash close. I'm MVP two times. Alan 241 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: Iverson man Iverson Iverson changed the game. He changed the game, 242 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: household name at eighteen, changed the game in a variety 243 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: of ways. How he looked, what he said, how he played. Yeah, okay, 244 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: I'm dropping it down a little no offense Chris Paul 245 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: or Robert Or. Assuming Chris Paul does not win a 246 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: title but finishes as one of the top ten point 247 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: guards of all time, do I get the state farm commercials? Yes? 248 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: Good cash, good cash. Uh. I might go Robert Ory 249 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: there like Chris is. I hope Chris finishes in the 250 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: top five in MVP, because I do think that he 251 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: has been incredible with with his veteran leadership for that team. 252 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: But by the way, the Joker's winning the MVP, I 253 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: mean he just is. Maybe Steph finishes second, Chris Paul 254 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: finishes third. The voting has to be finished. Voting had 255 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: to be in I believe as of last night or 256 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: this morning. I believe once the regular season's over, then 257 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: you put your ballot in. Yeahmi, club one more. We 258 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: should just get out of the way, headed off. So 259 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: it's here our our three guests, Reggie Miller versus Robert Rory. 260 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: Because I'm sure people are. Oh, Reggie obviously a Hall 261 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: of Famer. Yes, I wonder if Reggie would trade his 262 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: career for Robert Ory's career. Rege got into the finals, 263 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: had great battles with Jordan. Yeah, I see, winning is 264 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: a lot of fun. It is. Winning is a lot 265 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: of fun. Allegedly. Yeah, I've heard of the blast. But 266 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: it's like, okay, let's say you're a sports center anchor 267 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 1: and Sports Center wins the Sports Emmy, or you're the 268 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 1: host of a show that that show is being singled 269 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: out right, So there's a lot of Robert Ory's at ESPN. 270 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 1: There aren't many Alan Iverson's. Well something like that. Yeah, yeah, 271 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: somehow I'm trying to credit myself. Yeah, yes, i am. 272 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: I didn't do a very good job. Yes, I think 273 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 1: Fritzie has a Sports Emmy or two for Lucy being 274 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: associated with Sports Center back in the day. Yeah, yeah, 275 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,439 Speaker 1: but does that that still counts? It goes on the 276 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 1: mantel he was associated with doesn't really count. I tell you, yeah, 277 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: he's got two of them. Hell yet yeah yeah, it's 278 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: like the equipment manager gets it that championship ring. So 279 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: much going on right now in the studio for Todd's 280 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: two Emmys, I just call them and most people don't 281 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: know total. Yes, Todd. I think there's a little more 282 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 1: to it than the equipment that year. I'm not not 283 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: exactly on the front lines where I'm like anchoring Sports Center, 284 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 1: but it does take a group of people to put 285 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: that show together well. In the industry, um being the 286 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: booker has known as like the equipment manager of the show. Yeah, 287 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 1: like you hand out jerseys and towels. I know. That's 288 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: why I've always insisted on talent coordinator or talent producers, 289 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 1: anything senior talent. I think it's towel towel coordinator. This 290 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: sounds shady booker, sounds like bookie sounds How about we 291 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: take a break here, shady guest dealing under the table. 292 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: It's twenty after the hour.

Today, 316 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: I was watching a video over the weekend, and it 317 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 1: was when Doctor j first went to Rutger Park in Harlem, 318 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: and Nate Archibald is one of the hosts. There are 319 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: a couple of guys who played in the NBA ate 320 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: a wonderful player, got a chance to see him when 321 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: he played for the Cincinnati Royals. But they talked about 322 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,400 Speaker 1: when Doctor Ja came in and everybody, you know, hey, 323 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: wait till you see Julius Irving. And some of the 324 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: older guys who played at Rutger Park were like, who's 325 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 1: this Julius guy you keep talking about. It didn't take 326 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 1: long for them to realize Julius Irving and they were 327 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: calling him Black Moses, like they were calling him all 328 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: these things, you know, because they had the announcer whose 329 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: courtside this was before and one you know where he 330 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 1: had the announcer who was there stirring up the crowd. 331 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: And Doc goes over to the announcer and says, you're 332 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: gonna call me anything, call me Doctor Jay. And that's 333 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: where it started, where you know, the doctor's in you 334 00:20:55,600 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: know house appointment and operating on you know. So that's 335 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: where the legacy started. And they said that there was 336 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: people in trees who were trying to get a seat 337 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: to watch what was going on. There was a school 338 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: building across the street. It was lined with people on 339 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: the outside of the ledge about three stories up, and 340 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 1: they have video of this. And then they showed the 341 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: video of doctor j oh Man and you had NBA 342 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: players who were playing, and Doc came to town and 343 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 1: basketball was never the same after that because that they 344 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: saw something they had never seen before. And there were legends, 345 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: playground legends, you know, Fly Williams, there were so many 346 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 1: great players who played. But Doc came to town and 347 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 1: they have video of this where he's just dominating. He's 348 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: dunking on people. He dunked on a guy, dunked on 349 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: his head. The guy lost a couple of his front teeth. 350 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: Doc dunked so hard on this guy who played for 351 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: the Knicks. They didn't forget about Julius Irving after that 352 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: because he became doctor j Yeah, boy, you're right. Then 353 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 1: you can find this on YouTube and it's fantastic. There's, 354 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: you know, and sixteen foot high fence and people are 355 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 1: sitting on top of it because there's no room for people. 356 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: Doc's wearing like Jim shorts, a tank top and canvas shoes. 357 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: It screams a seventy oh man. I saw him once 358 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 1: and when he was in the ABA, and I made 359 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,479 Speaker 1: a point that I was going to see him against 360 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: the Kentucky Colonels. And Kentucky had dan Isissell, Louis dan Pier, Artist, Gilmore, 361 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: he had, They had great players, hall of Fame players, 362 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: and uh, he just he just dominated. He was so 363 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: explosive inside and you watch him and you know, one 364 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: of the great performances in a losing effort. You know, 365 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: Jerry West won the MVP and famously lost the NBA 366 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: Finals to the Celtics, but he averaged like four points 367 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: a game, and Doc should have been the MVP. When 368 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: the seventy Sixers lost to the Blazers in nineteen seventy eight, 369 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 1: Duck was by far and away the best player on 370 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 1: the floor. And I love that Portland team because that 371 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: was one of the true teams that, like I fell 372 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: in love with basketball watching how they played Doctor Jack 373 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: Ramsey's team unselfish and but doctor Jay was so unbelievable 374 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: and I wish people could have seen him in the 375 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: ABA because he was every bit what Jordan was and 376 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: then some I mean he was. He was a highlight 377 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: every single time, and he dunked on people in traffic. 378 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: He get it down low and just go up and 379 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: dunk on you. I mean, not as polished as Mike, 380 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 1: but you know Mike was. You know, he benefited by 381 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: going to North Carolina fundamentally sound there with Dean Smith, 382 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: you know, taught him the fundamentals. He was more polished. 383 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: You know. Doc went to UMass and you know, didn't 384 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,199 Speaker 1: stay long, went to the ABA, and I know we 385 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: can disparage the ABA, but there was a lot of 386 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,360 Speaker 1: talent in the ABA, and he was just I think 387 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,919 Speaker 1: he's underrated. I do, because we missed out on about 388 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: seven or eight unbelievable years and then he finally got 389 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: into the NBA. But just watching him in those videos, 390 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: playground video, and I love the audience there. The crowd 391 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: they're like they they get into it, they love it. 392 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: They're like this is awesome. Guys getting dunked on, embarrassed 393 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: and they're like laughing, and it was It's it's fun. 394 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: It's really fun to watch that. Yeah, I'm a club. 395 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: It's like you're describing him as like a social media star. 396 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: Forty years before social media, it was like, yeah, playground. 397 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: You know, obviously now we find that guy on TikTok, 398 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,439 Speaker 1: but he was there was enough. How did they know 399 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: about him that? Okay, imagine Zion Way Simson that fan 400 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: fair when he was in high school and we'd just 401 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: see these videos and they're like, oh my god, Okay, 402 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: doc was doing that against professionals. He was playing in 403 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 1: these pickup games and these were real games. I mean, 404 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: these were serious games. This is where you made, you know, 405 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 1: your legend, this is where you became something. And if 406 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: you flamed out. They even talk about this in the documentary. 407 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,919 Speaker 1: They're like, you know, you come in here and embarrass yourself. 408 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: You don't get back on the floor. You don't get 409 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,199 Speaker 1: back on the playground. So it was just fun. It 410 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 1: was a great weekend to reminisce about basketball and why 411 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: you know, I grew up loving it so much and 412 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 1: got a chance to see. As I've said on this show, 413 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 1: I think I think Bill Russell was the only guy 414 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: never got to see in person. By the way, Bill 415 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: Russell going into the Hall of Fame next year as 416 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,640 Speaker 1: a coach. He was a player coach, won a couple 417 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 1: of titles with the Boston Celtics. That's where your head explodes, 418 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,199 Speaker 1: where you go. He won a couple of titles as 419 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: a player coach. That Red Arbach said, you be the coach. 420 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 1: Imagine if lebron Well maybe he is, but Bill Russell 421 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: was the coach and he want a couple of titles. 422 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: There truly amazing phone calls best and worst of the weekend. 423 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 1: We'll get to those coming up. Eight seven seven three 424 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: d P show. This is from Tom Silverstein of the 425 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. He joined us last week and he's 426 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: talking about Aaron Rodgers the Packers, and is there any 427 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: chance that he's traded? If he is, the Broncos have 428 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 1: been the club mostly most closely connected to Rogers. Early 429 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 1: speculation suggested Denver or any team that for that matter, 430 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: would need to part with at least two first round picks, 431 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 1: a second round or perhaps a quality player. Tom Silverstein 432 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel rights the Packers will also 433 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 1: require their trading part to send a quarterback back to 434 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: Green Bay goes on to say that head coach Matt 435 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: Lafleur is indicated he will work with Jordan Love as 436 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: though he will be the starter for now. But Lafleur 437 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 1: didn't exactly offer a ringing endorsement of the Utah State product, 438 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 1: and he recently indicated he wants Rogers back in the 439 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 1: worst way. So the Bronchos have Teddy Bridgewater and Drew Locke, 440 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 1: neither of whom would appear to be capable of leading 441 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: the Packers to the NFC title game. Again, Denver has 442 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: the cap space desire to make Rodgers and you know, 443 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,399 Speaker 1: make that deal work. But is Green Bay going to 444 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: consider the Bronchos a viable partner now? The Raiders reportedly 445 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 1: on Aaron Rodgers list of preferred destinations. Las Vegas has 446 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: Derek Carr, who's under contract at a reasonable price through 447 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Raiders play in the AFC, and maybe 448 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 1: they're a chance because they're not going to trade Aaron 449 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: Rodgers to an NFC team. But that's the latest on 450 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. But once again, Aaron's not saying anything, and 451 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: right now it just feels like the whispers, speculation, rumor innuendo, 452 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: sources close to all of those things, but still kind 453 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 1: of quiet. But there's just enough out there to keep 454 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: this going where June first is not far away, and 455 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:35,360 Speaker 1: I think if something happens, it's going to happen. Then mcloven, 456 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: what's the poll question, we're gonna go? Okay, Actually we 457 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: have two versions of the Lakers poll. Okay, basically the 458 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: are you rooting for the Lakers to get out of this? 459 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: If you hate the Lakers, do you want to see 460 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: them losing the playing tournament? Or do you really want 461 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: them to be in the playoffs? It be less interesting. 462 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: Paulli put it this way, if you could grant Adam 463 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: Silver one mush, which would he take Lakers versus that's 464 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: in the finals, or make sure Lakers don't get knocked 465 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: out of the play in tour just as a safety valve, 466 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: Like um, I think, I think you want the Lakers 467 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: and the Nets. Yeah, and the Lakers get two chances 468 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: if if they lose to Golden State then they play 469 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: Memphis San Antonio Twitter. Yeah, so there's two chances. And 470 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: I think this play in Tournament is here to stay 471 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: because you've got this excitement. I know, it seems kind 472 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: of corny like. But after a while. At first we're 473 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: adverse to change. We're like, ah, come on, you got 474 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: to earn your spot. They just want to get eyeballs. 475 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: They want some kind of interest at the end of 476 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: the season. They want a few other franchises to be 477 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: involved the possibility. I mean, this is what college football 478 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: is going to go towards. Because how many teams have 479 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: a legitimate chance of getting in the final four seven 480 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: towards the end of the regular season. Seven Maybe that's it. 481 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: Imagine if you and this to twelve, now you have eighteen, 482 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: maybe twenty schools that have a chance. Therefore, those games 483 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: are more important. I did hear from an important college 484 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: football person over the weekend, and you know he follows 485 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: the show, and he said, look, the bowl games are 486 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: really important. They are. You may not think so, but 487 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: they are. And that's what college football is really struggling 488 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: with right now. Do they understand the monetary value of 489 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: expanding the playoffs? Absolutely? Does the ESPN understand it, absolutely, 490 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: But the bowl games are so important and so important 491 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,959 Speaker 1: to cities that rely on this that they gear up 492 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: their entire year to host it. And that's going to 493 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: be the hard that's the big hurdle here. Everything else 494 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: they can sort of work out, but they don't want 495 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: to lose the Bowl games. And I'm talking about this 496 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: second every Bowl games. I don't know when it changes, 497 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: it will change, but the casualty might be, Hey, we 498 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: don't have thirty six Bowl games, maybe we have twenty two. Yeah, Polly. 499 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: Going back to the NBA though, the NBA when they 500 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: came up with this playing tournament probably never thought that 501 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: a high end team like the Lakers would be in it. 502 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 1: They thought it'd be also the also Rands. But the 503 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: Lakers with their injuries. The NBA's flirting with big disaster 504 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 1: here with this one, because if the Lakers lose to 505 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 1: the Warriors and then somehow lose two games in a 506 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: row they've lost two games in a row this year, 507 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: or one of their two guys tweaks in ankle tonight 508 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 1: or tomorrow night, Wednesday night, that's a disaster. That's a 509 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: monstrous disaster to lose the Lakers for the playoffs. Yeah, 510 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: but you are giving them a couple of chances. Now, 511 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 1: I know you're saying, well, they should just qualify. Hey, 512 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: you're the seventh seed, you should be you know, in 513 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: the playoffs, not trying to qualify for the playoffs. They've 514 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: got both the best case and worst case scenario for 515 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: their playing games. They put Lakers Warriors Steph Lebron as 516 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: the first. That's fantastic, that's to a monster number. But 517 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 1: if it doesn't go to Lakers way two nights in 518 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: a row, Adam Silvera, we crushed on Friday. But yeah, 519 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: playing games on Tuesday. They're playing games on Tuesday, and 520 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: then the Lakers game is on Wednesday. But that I'm 521 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: surprised at ten Eastern San Antonio, Memphis is the appetizer 522 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: at seven thirty on the mother Ship and then at 523 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: ten o'clock on Wednesday. As far as the playing games 524 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: on Tuesday, it'll be my Hornets against the Pacers at 525 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: six thirty and Washington at Boston at nine. Those are 526 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: the playing games you have the club. I had a 527 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: silly pole question if you could pay to see one 528 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: player in the whole playing tournament. He took Lebron and 529 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: Curry out. I know who you would pay for it 530 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: be LaMelo Ball on the Hornets. Yes, is there? Could 531 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: you make a case for Jason Tatum or Russell Westbrook 532 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: the third? No, not not over LaMelo. I mean, I look, 533 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by watching him and I would love to see, 534 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: you know, if Charlotte got a chance to play John Morant, 535 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: although they can't, but I would love to see something 536 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 1: like that where those two went at each other. I 537 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: Lamello might still win the Rookie of the Year, and 538 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 1: he's performed admirably, came back from the injury. Thought it 539 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 1: was a season ending injury. Yeah. Russell Westbrook and the 540 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 1: Wizards as a Sixers fan, they seem a bit scary 541 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: to everyone right now. They should because if Bradley Beale 542 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 1: and Russell Westbrook Junior, the third, you know, get on 543 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 1: the same page, that's dangerous. That it's dangerous, you know, 544 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: for the play in game as well. Yeah, I'm having 545 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: trouble making sets of the whole standard Like the West, 546 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: every team seems like the Jazz, Clippers, Nuggets. How do 547 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: you distinguish like the Seeds here. Is it a big 548 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: deal seating this year or no? Because I think if 549 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: you look at winning percentage by home teams this year, 550 00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: it was down significantly, and maybe that home court advantage 551 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 1: is not as big for whatever reason, but a lot 552 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 1: of that might have to. You know, with players who 553 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 1: load managed, you know how important it is. All you 554 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: have to do do is win that one game and then 555 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: you have home court advantage. And that's why I don't 556 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: think the Lakers were that concerned. You know, there's certain 557 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 1: teams that are like san Antonio never cared about to 558 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 1: be in the best team having the best record. Popovitch 559 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 1: never cared about that because he was so confident in 560 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 1: his team that hey, we're gonna win all of our 561 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: games at home. We just need to win one on 562 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 1: the road. And I don't know how many times they 563 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,240 Speaker 1: had the best record in the West, but they're probably 564 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 1: more times that they should have had the best record 565 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: in the West. He just didn't care. Yeah, mcglub. Yeah, Like, 566 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 1: if the Lakers win, they play the Suns in Round one, 567 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,919 Speaker 1: and I think the average fans would be like, oh, yeah, 568 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,799 Speaker 1: the Lakers are the favorite of that series. Uh yeah, 569 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: probably without because none of us have seen the signs. 570 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,280 Speaker 1: I know you have, but like we don't know the Suns. 571 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: Let's take a break. We got our play of the 572 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,839 Speaker 1: day coming up.

Maybe it meant the greatest player Mike 610 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: James career. That's true, Mike James. That's probably the highlight 611 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 1: of Mike James's career. A real player in the league 612 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:33,840 Speaker 1: like James. That's not real, yeah, Mike James. Yes, phone 613 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,799 Speaker 1: calls coming up eight seven seven three d P show 614 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 1: email address DP at dan Patrick dot com. I mentioned 615 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 1: the home court advantage here. Let me see if I 616 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 1: have these numbers, um, the combined home winning percentage of 617 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: NBA teams this season will be the worst in league history, 618 00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 1: something that can at least partly be attributed to attendance 619 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 1: being severely limited because of the ongoing pandemic and the protocols. 620 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,280 Speaker 1: At least eleven teams will finish with losing home records. 621 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: Last season, eleven teams had losing records in their home buildings. Technically, 622 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,839 Speaker 1: twelve teams finished with losing home records when factoring in 623 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 1: bubble games into the mix. There's never been a season 624 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,399 Speaker 1: where more than eleven teams finished with losing records in 625 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:29,840 Speaker 1: their home buildings. Utah had the league's best regular season 626 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 1: home team thirty one in five. Jazz probably are going 627 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: to get attendance in the playoffs around thirteen thousand. That's 628 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:41,760 Speaker 1: well below capacity, but still would represent the most allowed 629 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 1: in the NBA so far this season. Just something to 630 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,359 Speaker 1: keep an eye on with the playoffs and how many 631 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,839 Speaker 1: people you can put in the building having that so 632 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,919 Speaker 1: called home court advantage. Jeff and Detroit leads this off 633 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 1: best and worst of the weekend, Jeff, what do you 634 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 1: have for me? It up though one time for that 635 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 1: row listen here, I have no worse. It has been 636 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,480 Speaker 1: the best weekend in Detroit sports in a long time. 637 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 1: The induction of two Hall of Famers at one time. 638 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: First of all, you got Chris Webber and Jalen Rose 639 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,760 Speaker 1: mending their fences in that interview. It was simply beautiful 640 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,640 Speaker 1: because they set a culture on fire. Second of all, 641 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 1: you got Chris Webber going in my hero. I mean 642 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,799 Speaker 1: everything back then that he did was gold. He was 643 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 1: the man going to see him at Saint ce City. 644 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 1: Then finally you get Ben Wallace who comes to the 645 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:39,600 Speaker 1: city and the pitomizes what Detroit basketball is. Undrafted, never 646 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,840 Speaker 1: has happened before, and there is no more deserving person. 647 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 1: You can ask Reggie Miller this. Ben Wallace has to 648 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,399 Speaker 1: be one of the strongest men in the NBA. Because 649 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,320 Speaker 1: I was courtside Dan and I saw that man stop 650 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,319 Speaker 1: Shot from moving him out of the paint. It was 651 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 1: one of the most amazing things. He was probably one 652 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,760 Speaker 1: of the one of the defenders that could go against 653 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,880 Speaker 1: Shot and then give him real yeah, because Sack was 654 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: a freaking nature. But shout out to big me Chris 655 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 1: Webber getting into the Hall of Fame. Couldn't be a 656 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,840 Speaker 1: better weekend here in Detroit. Brothers, all right, well, thank you, Jeff. 657 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:14,439 Speaker 1: I'm a surprise Ben Wallace was nominated now inducted into 658 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. My job is just to assess 659 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 1: what I see. I say it. You know, we've had 660 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 1: him on the show. He's a good guy, had a 661 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,239 Speaker 1: great sense of humor. He had probably a four or 662 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 1: five year window where Ben Wallace was decorated. But I 663 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,719 Speaker 1: don't I just don't look at him as a Hall 664 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,239 Speaker 1: of Famer, like when you think of great big men. 665 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 1: He's a center. He's a defensive center, limited offensively. And 666 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:50,799 Speaker 1: I don't know, Paulie, if you have stats there, well 667 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,520 Speaker 1: you're right with him. He had a run from O 668 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 1: two to oh seven where he made four All Star teams. 669 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 1: He led in the NBA rebounding a few times like 670 00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 1: him seven points, fifteen rebounds, three blocks. He was a 671 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: thing for a while, especially when Detroit was really relevant. 672 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 1: That team was relevant back then, Rita, Shaun Prince and 673 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 1: those guys. Rep Hamilton, and he was the one who 674 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 1: did a lot of the interviews. He was on our 675 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,040 Speaker 1: shomemb we talking about go karting with the kids. He 676 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:14,759 Speaker 1: was kind of one of the faces and he's really 677 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,560 Speaker 1: entertaining player. But he, like you said, it is a 678 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,319 Speaker 1: five year run of greatness. Yeah, I just don't know. 679 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:21,759 Speaker 1: Like if you say his name, I wouldn't think hall 680 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,200 Speaker 1: of Famer. I think was he two time Defensive Player 681 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:28,560 Speaker 1: of the Year. Yeah, well okay, I always thought he 682 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,880 Speaker 1: was a great help defender. I didn't think he was 683 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,319 Speaker 1: great on the ball, but that was just you know, 684 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,560 Speaker 1: when I'm watching this and watching this with former players. 685 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,360 Speaker 1: Four time Defensive Player of the Year, yeah, four straight 686 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 1: years and he won you know, they won a title? 687 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:51,680 Speaker 1: Did he did Ben win one or two titles? I 688 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 1: have him one title O four with Detroit. Yeah, it's 689 00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,040 Speaker 1: just not enough of a resume to be a Hall 690 00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,040 Speaker 1: of Famer. I guess Rudy Gobert going to be a 691 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,880 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. I mean if he wins if he 692 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:08,400 Speaker 1: wins one title with his Defensive Player Year honors and 693 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:12,600 Speaker 1: being First Team All NBA a couple of times, he's 694 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 1: gonna be decorated enough. It's just this is what we 695 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 1: get into when you start talking about who is an 696 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,640 Speaker 1: MVP and who is not. And I'm not anti Ben 697 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 1: as much as I am pro Hall of Fame of 698 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 1: who's going in, Like even Chris Bosh. Chris Bosh was 699 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:33,440 Speaker 1: part of, you know, the great team in Miami. I 700 00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,759 Speaker 1: think the best he ever was was second team All NBA. 701 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:41,279 Speaker 1: He did that once. Now you're on that team, you 702 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,920 Speaker 1: became high profile. And I do think that he was 703 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,680 Speaker 1: able to suppress his ego to be the third guy 704 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,640 Speaker 1: there with you know, Lebron and d Wade. But if 705 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,040 Speaker 1: you said hall of Famer, did I think he was 706 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:54,840 Speaker 1: going to be a Hall of Famer? Yeah? I probably 707 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,960 Speaker 1: said it on this show a few times when he 708 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:02,880 Speaker 1: came from Toronto to Miami. You know. Obviously health issues 709 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:09,440 Speaker 1: cut Short's career.
