Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour. On this Tuesday, Dan and The
Speaker 1: dan 's Dan Patrick Show spent a good portion of
Speaker 1: the show reminiscing about Kobe Bryant and he passed away.
Speaker 1: It was a year ago today. We were actually in
Speaker 1: Miami at the Super Bowl, and we brought back some
Speaker 1: of our favorite interviews. Jerry West, Reggie Miller, Kobe himself,
Speaker 1: and Ramona Sherburne from the Mothership. He had a great
Speaker 1: relationship with. Kobe joined us last Hour. If you missed
Speaker 1: that interview or any of our interviews, go to Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick dot com eight seven seven three DP Show email
Speaker 1: addressed EP of Dan Patrick dot Com Twitter handle at
Speaker 1: DP show, say good morning to Peacock. That's our TV
Speaker 1: partner and also our great radio affiliates around the country.
Speaker 1: We have a poll question. I don't know if we're
Speaker 1: staying with the pole question mclovan. It's Aaron Rodgers related
Speaker 1: so Willie retire packer? Which is kind of open ended
Speaker 1: because I think the question is this offseason. Seventy four
Speaker 1: percent say no, he will not end up a packer.
Speaker 1: I have a question just how long you think he'll
Speaker 1: play because he's talked about going for a while. He's
Speaker 1: not like saying I'm almost done. I don't know what
Speaker 1: he wants to do when he's done with football. That
Speaker 1: would probably help me understand if you want to continue
Speaker 1: to play and you're not quite sure what you're doing
Speaker 1: when you decide to retire. Drew Brees has a TV job.
Speaker 1: Greg Olson just retired. He has a TV job. Feels
Speaker 1: like Jason Witten of the Raiders, who is going to
Speaker 1: go into coaching at some point when he's done. I
Speaker 1: don't know what these players want to do. What's Ben
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger want to do? What's Brady do when he retires?
Speaker 1: I think we always go well, the fallback plan is
Speaker 1: to be a broadcaster. I don't know. And Philip Rivers,
Speaker 1: I guess is going to be a broadcaster. They may
Speaker 1: put him in the Monday night football booth. I don't
Speaker 1: know if the other quarterbacks want to do that or
Speaker 1: other players want to do that. Greg Olsen is going
Speaker 1: to go in the booth. Jason Witten had his moment
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football. Maybe they look at that Tony
Speaker 1: Romo money and go man. On second thought, I mean,
Speaker 1: if you're Tom Brady do you want to be an analyst?
Speaker 1: If you could make twenty million dollars a year. Let's
Speaker 1: just say, if Tony Romo's worth seventeen, what's Tom bradyworth?
Speaker 1: What's Peyton worth? I would pay Peyton more because I
Speaker 1: think he's more of a student of the game in
Speaker 1: his approach, like he created his own system. Not that
Speaker 1: Brady couldn't do it, but Peyton, it feels like, would
Speaker 1: be more analytical, or he would be more comfortable talking
Speaker 1: to you about what he sees during a play, and
Speaker 1: then you know Romo has always told you what's going
Speaker 1: to happen before the play. Feels like Peyton would be
Speaker 1: even better than that. But if you're going to pay,
Speaker 1: and I think Peyton wants to be in the front office,
Speaker 1: it feels like maybe more of an Elway role than
Speaker 1: a Tony Romo role. But what would you pay for
Speaker 1: Tom Brady in two years twenty million? What would you
Speaker 1: pay for Peyton Manning? What would you pay for Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 1: But they strike me as they want to do something
Speaker 1: different than just that. Maybe Aaron wants to host Jeopardy.
Speaker 1: I think he's going to get his chance here in
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks where he's going to be the
Speaker 1: fill in host there. They got Ken Jennings who did it,
Speaker 1: Katie Kurk I think is going to do it. Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers is going to do it. And I was asked
Speaker 1: if I wanted to be considered. I want to make
Speaker 1: sure that I have this on record because people have
Speaker 1: asked me since I did one hundred episodes of Sports Jeopardy.
Speaker 1: It was on the Jeopardy set with the great staff
Speaker 1: there that Alex Trebec had. Everything that we did is
Speaker 1: what Alex would do for the last thirty three years.
Speaker 1: I had all of those people working on Sports Jeopardy.
Speaker 1: And I was approached approached about if I wanted to
Speaker 1: be considered as one of the hosts for Jeopardy, and
Speaker 1: I said I did not because they if they're looking
Speaker 1: for people and they're trying to find a replacement for
Speaker 1: or Alex Trebek, good luck with that. It's a commitment.
Speaker 1: I have a great job here and I was honored
Speaker 1: that they would even consider me for that opportunity. But
Speaker 1: I wasn't interested in that. I just I didn't want
Speaker 1: to take up the space. I didn't want to do
Speaker 1: it and say, hey, I'm going to take a victory
Speaker 1: lap and do Jeopardy. That's that's not that was never
Speaker 1: my approach. I even told Alex I was not interested
Speaker 1: in hosting this because there were articles or conversation that
Speaker 1: was I the air apparent to Alex Trebek doing sports Jeopardy.
Speaker 1: And when we went to dinner, I said to Alex,
Speaker 1: just so you know, I am not interested in doing
Speaker 1: Jeopardy and I and I don't know if he even
Speaker 1: thought about me doing it, but I wanted him to
Speaker 1: know that I'm in the room, I'm doing it on
Speaker 1: his set. It's it's his. I mean, I just I
Speaker 1: didn't want any part of that. Honored, flattered, loved the
Speaker 1: people I work with, but I didn't want to go,
Speaker 1: you know, in host sports or regular Jeopardy. It'd be
Speaker 1: a wonderful challenge, the opportunity, but I'm that's not what
Speaker 1: I want to do. Yeah, boy, you did see the schedule,
Speaker 1: didn't you. Yeah, I know, to see the paycheck. Alex
Speaker 1: was working fifty forty he told us when we had
Speaker 1: him in studio, maybe four years ago. I think he
Speaker 1: told us he works forty three days a year, like forty.
Speaker 1: This schedule. Yeah, I mean those days are full days. Yes,
Speaker 1: you know, it's a twelve hour day, but forty three
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah. Remember he also told us he never
Speaker 1: once asked for a race. He said he didn't want
Speaker 1: to be difficult. He realized he had a great job,
Speaker 1: and they gave him raises. Yeah, he was great, But
Speaker 1: you're doing five shows a day. And he was such
Speaker 1: a machine. Because when I did Sports Jeopardy, Now, granted
Speaker 1: I did the radio show in Los Angeles, so I
Speaker 1: would do three hours at six in the morning till nine.
Speaker 1: I would get out of the building at Direct TV,
Speaker 1: and then I would go to the Sony lot and
Speaker 1: then we would go through all four of the games,
Speaker 1: all the storyboards there with all the clues, and then
Speaker 1: I'd have something to eat, get dressed, and we would
Speaker 1: start at eleven o'clock and we would usually finish it
Speaker 1: around five. And that was just going four shows in
Speaker 1: a day was a grind. And here's Alex doing five
Speaker 1: shows in a day. And that's why he was able
Speaker 1: to work less than fifty days out of the year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the club, do you think you could have done the content?
Speaker 1: I mean, the sports show was in your wheelhouse obviously,
Speaker 1: Like I feel like Mesopotamia and all those weird answers
Speaker 1: is a different Yeah. I look, I struggled to do
Speaker 1: sports Jeopardy, really yes, because it's not the clues, it's
Speaker 1: the traffic. When there's three people. The pace is what
Speaker 1: is really really hard to get. And you know, this
Speaker 1: is what Alex said. You know, Alex said, you gotta
Speaker 1: get the cadence down. Once you get tempo down, it helps.
Speaker 1: But what happened is you would have contestants who would
Speaker 1: jump around the board instead of going I'll take famous
Speaker 1: NFL coaches for two hundred, and then famous NFL coaches
Speaker 1: for three hundred, they would go all the way over
Speaker 1: here to great field goal kickers for eight hundred. So
Speaker 1: you you're trying to follow all of this, get out
Speaker 1: the clue, wait for the answer, make sure it's the
Speaker 1: right answer, cross that off, and then move on. And
Speaker 1: I knew probably eighty percent of the answers, but even
Speaker 1: then it was still difficult. I would have had a
Speaker 1: hard time. And anybody who thinks they can do Jeopardy,
Speaker 1: it's really really difficult. You do it, and then you
Speaker 1: tell me if you think you can do it, because
Speaker 1: it took me. I'm going to guess thirty episodes of
Speaker 1: Sports Jeopardy where I truly felt like, this is my show.
Speaker 1: I'm comfortable doing this, and if you're coming in and
Speaker 1: you're doing five, it's really difficult. And Alex made it
Speaker 1: look so easy that he had that flow, that tempo,
Speaker 1: and you really have to have gravitas like you have
Speaker 1: to when you stand up there that people believe you,
Speaker 1: and Alex had that gravitas that you believed in him,
Speaker 1: and I think that'll be very difficult for some people.
Speaker 1: And I've seen a lot of names thrown around there,
Speaker 1: and I wish you the best of luck, but I
Speaker 1: will say go in with eyes wide open, because you
Speaker 1: are going to be I was gonna say, surprise. You'll
Speaker 1: be shocked at how quickly it moves and trying to
Speaker 1: just keep your thoughts organized. And I was doing it
Speaker 1: in sports where I had a home field advantage, and
Speaker 1: they're gonna be hard pressed to find somebody, you know,
Speaker 1: to take over for Alex. Yeah. Point. I watched you
Speaker 1: tape some of those shows and what Alex had to
Speaker 1: do when you had to do. I think one of
Speaker 1: the biggest thing is you get three different contestants every show.
Speaker 1: Those are three different personalities. One person could be good
Speaker 1: on air. One person cannot be good on air there,
Speaker 1: and you have to tell the story with them, and
Speaker 1: they may have not played back and forth with you.
Speaker 1: You have to be prepared in real time to clean
Speaker 1: up their mess or make them more interesting. And then
Speaker 1: you've got three more dudes or three more people, three
Speaker 1: more men and women in the next half hour. But
Speaker 1: there would be times when you make mistakes. And I
Speaker 1: tried to do it and be perfect. And Harry Friedman,
Speaker 1: the long time executive producer, he said, he pulled me
Speaker 1: aside one time and he goes up, Alex makes mistakes,
Speaker 1: and I go he does, He goes, yes, he does.
Speaker 1: He said, don't worry about Alex makes mistakes. And after
Speaker 1: that I kind of went, all right, well, Alex makes mistakes.
Speaker 1: I'll make a mistake or two and then they clean
Speaker 1: it up and you'd never know, you know, once it's
Speaker 1: put on TV. But I can't say enough about the
Speaker 1: people that I worked with there, as good and professional
Speaker 1: as anybody I've ever worked with. But I did not
Speaker 1: want to be considered for that opportunity. And uh no,
Speaker 1: let the other one sorted out and good luck with that,
Speaker 1: and uh, you'll need it, Uh, let me see you know.
Speaker 1: We played a couple of these clips. Here was one
Speaker 1: that we were surprised about. We had Derrick Henry on
Speaker 1: at the super Bowl last year, and it felt like
Speaker 1: everybody had a Kobe story, including Derrick Henry, the great
Speaker 1: Titans running back. He had this to say last year
Speaker 1: at the super Bowl. We had esme's but it was my, uh, well,
Speaker 1: my rookie year. I was. I was, well, yeah, after
Speaker 1: I got drafted and um, Kobe was walking up. He
Speaker 1: had all black, he was with his wife, and Um,
Speaker 1: I was talking to Hi. I was like, I was
Speaker 1: like this, Kobe, I'm gonna say something. I'm gonna say something.
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, what should I say?
Speaker 1: I mean, what should I say? I killed asked us.
Speaker 1: She was like this, this is just be yourself. This
Speaker 1: this this says. I was like, what, ifeople know me?
Speaker 1: What if you don't, I don't say nothing to me.
Speaker 1: What she was like, he knows who you are and
Speaker 1: he walks by and I just froze. I didn't say,
Speaker 1: I say nothing. I didn't say nothing. I don't know.
Speaker 1: So weird, I just like I could at the first
Speaker 1: time I ever got like that. I couldn't say anything.
Speaker 1: What would you have said? I don't even know. That's
Speaker 1: why I couldn't say that. I don't know what. I
Speaker 1: should have been carrying the heisman with you. That would
Speaker 1: have helped. Maybe maybe maybe that would have helped. Oh,
Speaker 1: Derek and you could. He was even nervous sort of
Speaker 1: telling that story that he missed that opportunity to say
Speaker 1: something to Kobe, and he goes, I don't know what
Speaker 1: to say. I don't know if he knows who I am.
Speaker 1: But we just had so many of those moments a
Speaker 1: year ago at the Super Bowl. Lebron went for forty
Speaker 1: six last night against the Calves, and I guess there
Speaker 1: was a Cleveland employee front office person who was courtside
Speaker 1: who clapped after Lebron missed a shot at the end
Speaker 1: of the third quarter, and Lebron thought that he was,
Speaker 1: I don't know, a little too excited after Lebron's miss,
Speaker 1: and then Lebron outscored the Cavaliers in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: You're starting to get conversation about MVPs. Of course, no
Speaker 1: matter what sport, you got to start at early. Joe
Speaker 1: LMBIID getting a lot of conversation about MVP The Orange
Speaker 1: County Register a couple of days ago had the case
Speaker 1: for Lebron winning the MVP and for him not winning
Speaker 1: the MVP. The Lakers have the best record in the NBA,
Speaker 1: and nine of the last twelve MVPs have come from
Speaker 1: the winningest regular season team. Best player on the best
Speaker 1: team automatically makes you an MVP candidate, period. He also
Speaker 1: leads in individual plus minus. Lakers of el scored opponents
Speaker 1: by one hundred forty eight points when he's on the
Speaker 1: court and only by eleven points when he's off. The
Speaker 1: Lakers have the best five man lineup of any group
Speaker 1: in the NBA that's played at least seventy five minutes,
Speaker 1: also leading scorer, leading assist man, which usually has little
Speaker 1: something to do with winning games. I think Lebron on
Speaker 1: is not obsessed, but he is motivated to win the
Speaker 1: mv pick because I think in his mind, Hey, I'm
Speaker 1: going to win the title. I'm I'm the I'm the
Speaker 1: regular season MVP. I reinvented myself and at my age,
Speaker 1: and I'm leaving the NBA and assists and I'm being
Speaker 1: a leader. This was a new story. The Greek Freak
Speaker 1: was a new story. Harden what he did Westbrook. You
Speaker 1: know Luca don Chick is now you know this will
Speaker 1: be his year. But but you know what, his team
Speaker 1: is not very good right now. Lebron's been doing this
Speaker 1: at a high level for two decades. I would say,
Speaker 1: deep down he wants to I don't know if he
Speaker 1: would say it publicly, but I would say deep down,
Speaker 1: that's the motivation is he wants to be the MV
Speaker 1: pick and he's going to make sure that he's the
Speaker 1: MVP this year. Yeah, this might be weird, but is
Speaker 1: it better for Lebron or his support if he doesn't
Speaker 1: win MVP because people like us will say I can't
Speaker 1: believe they're slighting him again, or when his career is
Speaker 1: over he only won four or however many as three,
Speaker 1: it's like Phil Jackson only winning a few, or Michael
Speaker 1: Jordan not getting him. The spotlight goes on them when
Speaker 1: they don't win it more than they do if he win,
Speaker 1: it's like Lebron got another Well I think he went
Speaker 1: through that last year. Yeah, where it's like, man, I
Speaker 1: don't know, but you know, the Greek freak was on
Speaker 1: the team with the best record. Did that make him
Speaker 1: the most valuable I didn't think so. I thought Lebron
Speaker 1: was also a great story at his age doing what
Speaker 1: he was doing, and then they win the title. But
Speaker 1: I don't know, Joe Lmbid's gonna put up incredible numbers
Speaker 1: this year. Lebron's not gonna put up incredible numbers. He's
Speaker 1: shooting better from three point range than he ever has
Speaker 1: in his career. So I don't know what is going
Speaker 1: to impact these voters when they look at this. But
Speaker 1: if the Lakers have the best record in the NBA,
Speaker 1: Lebron's gonna win the MVP. I truly believe them. Patrick
Speaker 1: mu Holmes is going to join us on Thursday. Mahomes
Speaker 1: from the Chiefs, Yeah, yeah, he is gonna join us, Yes, yes, time.
Speaker 1: And Derrick Henry, who we just just shared that Kobe story,
Speaker 1: He's also gonna be part of Thursday's show. All right,
Speaker 1: are you guaranteeing? Mahomes joines? You know what, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go ahead and guarantee that. Man. I don't like to
Speaker 1: do that, because could happened. You get these messages, Oh
Speaker 1: wait a second, something came up, or the meetings and
Speaker 1: schedules changed. You just guaranteed it, did I can't tell
Speaker 1: you just no, you can't. No take thanks, no take me. Yep,
Speaker 1: you guaranteed it. Patrick Mahomes, Dan Patrick Show on Thursday.
Speaker 1: What happens if that doesn't happen? What do I win? Anything, lose?
Speaker 1: Anything on this guarantees their eyes involved? How about you
Speaker 1: have to wear a medium Tampa Bay T shirt? No
Speaker 1: medium Chiefs T shirt? How about a medium, Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1: I can't squeeze. It's I could barely get it to
Speaker 1: the large. Did you put me in a medium? That's
Speaker 1: the punishment? Okay, But then what happens on the other side.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of what happens to me, But like
Speaker 1: if usually the sudding happens to the other side, Well
Speaker 1: you get the victory lap you get. That's not anything
Speaker 1: a victory lap, I mean super Bowl coming up? You get. Patrick,
Speaker 1: Let's just hope I don't have to squeeze for the
Speaker 1: for the sake of everyone, and especially for people talk
Speaker 1: about using their lunch. You get, Patrick Mahomes, I'll start
Speaker 1: every segment and say something nice about you. That would work.
Speaker 1: Three hours would be nice, right? Three hours? Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a lot. You're gonna run out of things by the
Speaker 1: last part of the first hour. I would think, No
Speaker 1: one want to see me in a medium shure, that's
Speaker 1: gonna be terrible. Palli scripts some things for me to say,
Speaker 1: nice things say about time. Can I make it up
Speaker 1: like usual? Yeah? Yeah, but it could be just hey, Todd,
Speaker 1: I enjoy your company and then I just move on.
Speaker 1: That's a little weak though. No, no, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a compliment time. That's it. I'll take what I can get. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I would love to see you in a I don't
Speaker 1: think you would. Yeah, yeah, I think so. Look, it
Speaker 1: looks like you're in a medium. Is actually I don't sunk.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the washer's fault. I don't think
Speaker 1: what is it the cheese little fault, the pizza with
Speaker 1: I don't know. So Patrick Mahomes will join us coming up.
Speaker 1: Let's see anything else I need to mention here? Oh,
Speaker 1: Jimmer Fredette is going to join us from China. Jimmer
Speaker 1: scored seventy points in his last game. Yes to hi
Speaker 1: and uh someone had sent us a tweet ten years ago.
Speaker 1: Today he had a big game for byre Jimmer fred
Speaker 1: scored forty three the tenth anniversary of that game against
Speaker 1: San Diego State. That was Paulie's this day in sports History,
Speaker 1: but we do this sport. You just took it. I
Speaker 1: thought Toy is twenty minutes away from this dain in
Speaker 1: sports history, and you know Jimmer is coming on like next,
Speaker 1: and that it would be a nice way to tease.
Speaker 1: You just mentioned his seventy point game. I'm adding the
Speaker 1: fact that ten years ago today he had a forty
Speaker 1: three point game. That wasn't trying to steal anything. This
Speaker 1: is a prelude to why you should tune in for
Speaker 1: Jimmer fredand Extra Special Day Paul He's not trying to
Speaker 1: book Patrick Mahomes. That was not meanted. I didn't even
Speaker 1: think of it as like that. I was stepping on
Speaker 1: policy toes. Of course you didn't. That's just a little factoid.
Speaker 1: That's fun. Okay, all right, So Jimmer, what time is
Speaker 1: it in China? It's gonna be twelve twenty five at
Speaker 1: night tomorrow morning, thirteen hours later in China when he
Speaker 1: joined us in a few minutes. So he's up late
Speaker 1: to join us after he's scoring seventy points. And what
Speaker 1: Loves You with the Dead Patrick Show? I don't know
Speaker 1: who else does interview the twelve thirty at night of
Speaker 1: course overseas. Yeah. Point, every time we have Jimmer for
Speaker 1: dot on, we do a five minute conversation before the
Speaker 1: show is why is he in China scoring seventy and
Speaker 1: not on the Well, let's say the Atlanta Hawks scoring fifteen.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I never know this. I think that
Speaker 1: today's NBA would be suited for him. You know, I
Speaker 1: can't put a hand on you. You know, he can
Speaker 1: shoot from deep. It seems like he would be a
Speaker 1: weapon coming off the bench. I don't know. Oh, he's
Speaker 1: the guy in China. He scored seven at Triple double.
Speaker 1: But Monday night or Sunday night or I don't know
Speaker 1: what day it was, but it was a couple of
Speaker 1: days ago in China. It's like it was like Sunday
Speaker 1: night at slash Monday morning. If you can follow the
Speaker 1: yet no I can't at times. All right, So Jimmer

Speaker 1: He's referred to as the Lonely Master in China. He
Speaker 1: is Jimmer for Debt. He just turned thirty one and
Speaker 1: he is playing for the Shanghai Sharks. He scored seventy
Speaker 1: points in the game the former BYU Star. In fact,
Speaker 1: it was ten years ago today, Jimmer, that you had
Speaker 1: forty three points as BYU beat San Diego State. Kawhi
Speaker 1: Leonard was playing for San Diego State at the time
Speaker 1: he scored twenty two. Thanks for joining us. How are you.
Speaker 1: I'm doing great, Dan, Thanks for having me on. I
Speaker 1: appreciate it. And yes, those were those were great memories
Speaker 1: ten years ago, that's for sure. What do you remember
Speaker 1: about Kawhi Leonard back then? I mean, the thing about
Speaker 1: Kawhi is, like, you know, he was only there for
Speaker 1: two years, but you know I played him those two years,
Speaker 1: and from his freshman year to his sophomore year, you
Speaker 1: could tell he got substantially better, especially offensively. He was
Speaker 1: always gifted, athletically, rebounded extremely well. You know, that was
Speaker 1: one of the big things to try to keep him
Speaker 1: off the glass. But he could just play defense. He
Speaker 1: was he affected the game in so many different ways.
Speaker 1: But then sophomore year he started shooting, you know a
Speaker 1: little bit more from mid range and from the three
Speaker 1: point area. You know, just got a little bit better offensively.
Speaker 1: And then obviously as he got into the NBA, um
Speaker 1: you know, he's just you know, blown blown ups. He's
Speaker 1: played unbelievable basketball. So you scored seventy a couple of
Speaker 1: days ago. Did you score seventy on purpose? No? Not really,
Speaker 1: I definitely just wanted to go out there and just
Speaker 1: be aggressive. Did you know in my game it just
Speaker 1: was but one of those had seven one of those games,
Speaker 1: did you know you were like, hey, you got before
Speaker 1: you got you can get seventy. Oh Um. I definitely
Speaker 1: knew what my point total was because I mean the
Speaker 1: scoreboard is right there. You can see your points, you know,
Speaker 1: throughout the whole game, so obviously you're aware of what's
Speaker 1: going on. But at the end of the game, you know,
Speaker 1: I just I got a steal at the end of
Speaker 1: the game, and it was just kind of one of
Speaker 1: those things where I was at sixty eight and I
Speaker 1: got an easy steal and was able to go in
Speaker 1: and you know, make it for the seventieth point. Um.
Speaker 1: You know. So I wasn't planning on it, but you know,
Speaker 1: it happened, and uh, you know, it was a fun
Speaker 1: night for sure. Have you ever scored seventy before in
Speaker 1: a game? Actually I have, So this is actually this
Speaker 1: is my third time scoring over seventy in the CBA.
Speaker 1: So I've scored seventy five, seventy three, and then this
Speaker 1: is my seventy, So I've I've done it three times.
Speaker 1: The only player to ever do it in the CBA.
Speaker 1: I guess, so the talent that you're playing against is
Speaker 1: comparable to what um, you know, these guys are. They're
Speaker 1: good players. I mean they're good, good professional basketball players.
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's not you know, European EuroLeague level, UM,
Speaker 1: you know, but they're you know, they're really good players.
Speaker 1: They're they're strong, athletic guys. UM. Several of these Chinese
Speaker 1: guys have played, um, you know, have had some a
Speaker 1: little bit of stints in the NBA or in the
Speaker 1: G League or in some of those things, UM, you
Speaker 1: know obviously, but they're they're they're high level players. But
Speaker 1: what they are is they're strong and they're physical, especially
Speaker 1: on the defensive end. I mean there they come after
Speaker 1: you know, the Americans every single night. UM, they don't
Speaker 1: want you to score the basketball. They'll double triple team you.
Speaker 1: They'll follow you. You know, they'll push you to do
Speaker 1: everything they can to get in your under your skin
Speaker 1: and in your head. UM. So it's definitely not not easy,
Speaker 1: um on a nightly basis. But we have the ball
Speaker 1: in our hands so much that sometimes you're able to
Speaker 1: just you know, have a great game and just start
Speaker 1: feeling it. How concerned were you you know here, you
Speaker 1: are married, you got two kids, You're going to China,
Speaker 1: you got COVID. Uh, you know, the Hong Kong situation
Speaker 1: with the NBA, with Daryl Morey's comments, like, was there
Speaker 1: any trepidation about going back to China? UM for me? Obviously,
Speaker 1: you know, during this period of COVID, that was you know,
Speaker 1: the biggest concern um for us. UM. You know, but
Speaker 1: we we knew coming over here that we were probably
Speaker 1: going to be in a bubble for the whole season,
Speaker 1: and we have been. UM so as long as we
Speaker 1: were able to get the visa. That was probably the
Speaker 1: hardest thing to do, was to actually get the visa
Speaker 1: to be able to come over to play. UM. But
Speaker 1: I knew that I was going to be over here
Speaker 1: for a long period of time without my family, So
Speaker 1: that's by far the hardest thing. I haven't been able
Speaker 1: to see him for four months, and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: we'll play another two months over here at least until
Speaker 1: we go back home. So, I mean, I have two
Speaker 1: young ones, and that's that's not easy. But it's a
Speaker 1: sacrifice you make sometimes as an overseated basketball player. UM.
Speaker 1: So I'm blessed to be able to be able to
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to play still and make money and
Speaker 1: be able to provide for my family. So you have
Speaker 1: to look at it that way sometimes. But if you
Speaker 1: weren't playing in China, what would you be doing? Where
Speaker 1: would you be playing? I'd probably be playing in the
Speaker 1: EuroLeague still. Um. You know. I was with Panathinaikos in
Speaker 1: Greece last year, which was a great experience. I love Athens,
Speaker 1: really really awesome to be able to go around Europe
Speaker 1: and see all the cool cities in Europe and be
Speaker 1: able to play against some great basketball teams and basketball players.
Speaker 1: But I had a second year option to go back
Speaker 1: to Greece, but we decided not to, and this opportunity
Speaker 1: with Shanghai came back up and decided to take this one.
Speaker 1: And you know, it's been it's been fun. The Jim
Speaker 1: Or Fredette Family Foundation's mission is to spread kindness and
Speaker 1: strengthen families so they can raise children with strong moral
Speaker 1: character and they come to the aid of youth who
Speaker 1: are hungry, cold, bullied, or frayed. It's the Fredette Family Foundation.
Speaker 1: Your first NBA game, I believe was against Kobe Bryant. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: it was. You know, obviously this is the year anniversary
Speaker 1: of his passing, and that it was so tragic. I remember,
Speaker 1: you know, last year when we were in Greece, my
Speaker 1: wife and I were sitting on the couch and we
Speaker 1: got the news and it was just absolutely devastating for
Speaker 1: everybody involved, not you know, with Kobe's family, but also
Speaker 1: the other families that were involved in the helicopter crash.
Speaker 1: But you know, my first game, I walked in, I
Speaker 1: subbed into the game and we were playing against the Lakers.
Speaker 1: I was with the Sacramento King so it was a
Speaker 1: little rivalry. Everyone was amped up. And I walk in
Speaker 1: and of course, you know, the first person that guards
Speaker 1: me is Kobe Bryant, and he walks right up to
Speaker 1: me and just puts he puts his forearm right into
Speaker 1: my chest and just says, welcome to the NBA. And
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, here we go, me versus Kobe.
Speaker 1: So it was it was welcome to the NBA moment,
Speaker 1: for sure. How did you do I think I was
Speaker 1: scared to take the first couple of shots, so I
Speaker 1: think he was like stepping back and giving me those
Speaker 1: shots too. He was like all right, I'm you know,
Speaker 1: almost daring me to shoot it, and that's what I
Speaker 1: was doing. That's what I do, you know. But you know,
Speaker 1: your first NBA game, you're just like, you don't know
Speaker 1: exactly what's going on. You're just trying to figure it
Speaker 1: all out. And as I got into the game, I
Speaker 1: got a little bit better. But those first couple of
Speaker 1: possessions were definitely something that that I remember. We asked
Speaker 1: this every time you have, we have you on why
Speaker 1: aren't you want an NBA roster? Yeah, I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: sure it's a mixture of a lot of different reasons,
Speaker 1: you know, obviously, but at this point, um, you know,
Speaker 1: I've I've had a couple of chances in the NBA,
Speaker 1: and um, some places have been better than others. But ultimately, um,
Speaker 1: you know, my path has led me over to to
Speaker 1: Shanghai and playing in Europe and playing in China. It's
Speaker 1: more more more recently, and you know, it's been it's
Speaker 1: been a great opportunity in situation for me. So honestly,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm grateful and happy for the situation that
Speaker 1: I've been able to find over here, been able to
Speaker 1: succeed and do really well make a name for myself
Speaker 1: over here. Not only just in China, but back in
Speaker 1: the US, people are still you know, seeing the highlights
Speaker 1: and seeing how I'm doing, which has been really really
Speaker 1: great to be able to do. Um. You know. Uh,
Speaker 1: the NBA has been a it was a great opportunity
Speaker 1: for me, but you know, it didn't work out necessarily
Speaker 1: exactly how I thought it would or many people thought
Speaker 1: it would. But it hasn't stopped me from continuing to
Speaker 1: play at a high level of basketball. But would you
Speaker 1: rather be the man in China or a bench player
Speaker 1: in the NBA? It all for me, it depends on
Speaker 1: the situation. Like if I was a bench player that
Speaker 1: was coming in and playing, you know, there I was
Speaker 1: allowed to play my game and was you know, playing
Speaker 1: twenty minutes a game and able to be a really
Speaker 1: integral part of a team, then I would love to
Speaker 1: be able to do that. Obviously, I'd love to be
Speaker 1: able to compete against the best in the world and
Speaker 1: be able to make an impact on a team like that.
Speaker 1: But being here in China and being able to have
Speaker 1: the impact that I've had not just on the court
Speaker 1: but off the court, has been has been something that's
Speaker 1: been special, you know, So I'd rather be doing that
Speaker 1: than necessarily just sitting on an NBA bench just to
Speaker 1: sit there. Um, I think it's been better for my
Speaker 1: career and better for the impact. Is your nickname the
Speaker 1: Lonely Master? Yeah, it's the Lonely Master. So it's it's uh,
Speaker 1: Gimo dosh in is what it's called. And Gimo means lonely,
Speaker 1: and it sounds like Jimmer gimo, And that's how people
Speaker 1: kind of pronounce my name over here. They can't really
Speaker 1: pronounce the er, so they say gimo, gimo, and it
Speaker 1: means lonely. And then they put dash in at the end,
Speaker 1: which means actually god, I guess. And then we changed
Speaker 1: it kind of to Lonely Master. So I didn't want
Speaker 1: to be known as a god, so I just said,
Speaker 1: let's do the Lonely Master. But but is it lonely?
Speaker 1: So lonely is based on how they pronounce your name.
Speaker 1: They don't they don't think you're lonely. They just I
Speaker 1: mean you are a sort of lonely. Yeah. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was kind of a double meaning for it. What they
Speaker 1: told me, what I would interpretation from what my teammates
Speaker 1: told me. The fans said that, you know, Gimo, obviously
Speaker 1: you're alone. You're kind of over here by yourself. You're
Speaker 1: not with your family, for one thing, but also it
Speaker 1: kind of means like you're kind of on the top
Speaker 1: of the mountain and no one can kind of reach
Speaker 1: your level, you know what I mean. So they're kind
Speaker 1: of saying like it's it's lonely on the top, and
Speaker 1: that's kind of the double meaning for it. And my
Speaker 1: first year that I got here, I got that that nickname,
Speaker 1: and we had a great season, was MVP at the
Speaker 1: seat of the year, So it kind of just stuck.
Speaker 1: I guess, are they going to build a statue? Doesn't
Speaker 1: doesn't stuff on Marbury have a statue over there? Jimmer? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he does. He does out inside of the Beijing Arena.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm at that level. I mean, he's,
Speaker 1: you know, the biggest thing that has been over here,
Speaker 1: and his team won three championships while he was there
Speaker 1: in Beijing, and they hadn't won for a long time.
Speaker 1: So we haven't won any championships yet. Maybe if we
Speaker 1: get one, we'll see. But yeah, he's he's got the
Speaker 1: statue out in front of the Beijing Arena. Could you
Speaker 1: give me a hundred in a game over there? Maybe
Speaker 1: we'll see it's gonna have to go out until like
Speaker 1: four or five overtimes probably, But but but you know,
Speaker 1: I'll try for you. I'll try. But you get the
Speaker 1: green light, right, you can shoot whenever you want to. Yes, right,
Speaker 1: you definitely get you definitely get the green light. They
Speaker 1: want you to score, like they bring you over here
Speaker 1: specifically to score the basketball, you know, like that's what
Speaker 1: they're looking for the China. You know, the Chinese players
Speaker 1: expect that from you. You have the ball in your hands. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, if you're a score, they want you to score.
Speaker 1: If you're a guy, that's if you're a big guy.
Speaker 1: You know, they want you to get twenty rebounds a game,
Speaker 1: you know, five blocks, you know that type of thing.
Speaker 1: They bring you over here for a reason. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: obviously you don't score, you know, seventy points every night.
Speaker 1: But every once in a while you're able to feel
Speaker 1: good and I you know, I felt good last night
Speaker 1: and was able to make make shots. And you don't
Speaker 1: want to play any defense, right, only uncertain occasions of course, Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is just like by you you don't have to
Speaker 1: play any defense and you get to shoot. You got
Speaker 1: the green light. Jimmer, Hey, you can. You can do
Speaker 1: whatever you want. You gotta you gotta stay tier Lane.
Speaker 1: Do what you're good, do what you're good at. Right
Speaker 1: what is behind you is that your apartment. So I'm
Speaker 1: in a hotel in my hotel room right now, and
Speaker 1: we're in Jiuji Jugi, China, and so I've been in
Speaker 1: this hotel room for four months. So this has been
Speaker 1: what I've been seeing for the last four months, just
Speaker 1: kind of this curtain behind me and this small little
Speaker 1: room that we're in. So, yeah, there's it's definitely interesting.
Speaker 1: Is there like a Buffalo Wild Wings over there or
Speaker 1: a Jersey mic sub or like, is there anything that
Speaker 1: reminds you at home? I mean in this city. No.
Speaker 1: So it's funny because you know, this city is considered
Speaker 1: a small city in China, but there's seven million people
Speaker 1: here and that's just kind of what they considers a
Speaker 1: small city and you know, so, but the thing is
Speaker 1: we can't actually leave the bubble. So I've been at
Speaker 1: you know, we've been in the hotel and they have
Speaker 1: you know, a buffet that's prepared for us every day,
Speaker 1: and basically my meal is, uh, you know, I get
Speaker 1: a salad with some white rice and chicken breast every day,
Speaker 1: and that's what I've been eating for the last four months.
Speaker 1: So I feel like I'm on a bodybuilding diet. So
Speaker 1: I feel healthy and feel good. But yeah, not anything
Speaker 1: of normalcy at this point. But hopefully when I get
Speaker 1: back to Shanghai and I'll be able to get some stuff.
Speaker 1: Lonely Master, he's the Lonely Master joining us from China. Hey,
Speaker 1: congrats Jimmer and Uh. I hope you get chance to
Speaker 1: see your family here soon. And good luck over there,
Speaker 1: and you know next time you go over seventy, we'll
Speaker 1: have you back on again. Sounds good, Dan, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Thank you, love the show. Thank you, buddy. That's Jimmer
Speaker 1: for Debt, joining us from somewhere in China, Shanghai Shark's
Speaker 1: point guard. This show is huge in China. By the way,
Speaker 1: our our Beijing affiliate, they love us over there. God. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't know what that meat was, but we did
Speaker 1: a meet and greet over there in Beijing. There are
Speaker 1: fifteen cities in China that are over ten million people,
Speaker 1: Dang Jimmer said, seven million. It's small. I might be
Speaker 1: able to get twenty. I might be able to get
Speaker 1: twenty over there in China. I think so, man, I mean,
Speaker 1: they might rough me up a little bit. Though. It's
Speaker 1: great to have him on. And he's had five different
Speaker 1: opportunities with NBA teams. So you know, you watch Trey
Speaker 1: Young and you go, can Jimmer do that? I think
Speaker 1: for Debt is the same age as Steph Curry. They
Speaker 1: seem similar, but but they're not. Yeah, I McClellan, I
Speaker 1: don't know about that lifestyle, beating in that hotel room
Speaker 1: for four months with white rice and chicken. No, no,
Speaker 1: I want to at least at Disney Bubble. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm okay. You know, in Atlanta on the bench,
Speaker 1: you know, coming off, giving you eight to ten minutes
Speaker 1: as opposed to scoring seventy in China. Yes, Hunt, do
Speaker 1: you get the green lights if you're playing in China?
Speaker 1: I know that's the key. You give me the green light.
Speaker 1: Does a coach give me that look like you? If
Speaker 1: you give me the green light, I'll play anywhere, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, that's Jimmer. Yeah, Yeah, all right, we'll take
Speaker 1: it break. We'll get phone calls coming up, and we're
Speaker 1: back after this in the Dan Patrick Show. Thanks for
Speaker 1: listening to The Dan Patrick Show Podcast. Be sure to
Speaker 1: catch us live every weekday morning nine until noon eastern
Speaker 1: six to nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, and you
Speaker 1: can find us on the iHeartRadio app at FSR or
Speaker 1: stream us live on the Peacock app. Let me sneak
Speaker 1: in some phone calls here eight seven seven three d
Speaker 1: P show coming up tomorrow. In the program, Carson Palmer
Speaker 1: will join us. We've got his heisman trophy here in
Speaker 1: the man Cave, and the speedster from the Buccaneers, Smoke
Speaker 1: Miller Scottie Miller will join us on the program as well. Well. See,
Speaker 1: we could come up with a new nickname for him,
Speaker 1: make it seem like he's a little bit Maybe he
Speaker 1: doesn't want to sound faster, Yeah, Paul, just because he's
Speaker 1: fast doesn't mean he's not both grit and gutty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you don't lead with gritty and gutty. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: a coach on the field. He's lunch pale guy, first
Speaker 1: guy in, last guy to leave. Wouldn't it be great
Speaker 1: if he's none of those things? Like his dad and
Speaker 1: I coached football, or like like he's the last guy
Speaker 1: in and the first guy to leave. Jeff and Detroit, Jeff,
Speaker 1: what's your question for me today? Hey? What up? Though? Dan?
Speaker 1: It's just basically I wanted to tell you. I know
Speaker 1: it isn't easy for you. I'm sending you a big bellyhood.
Speaker 1: I've always known that whenever you interviewed Kobe, you've always
Speaker 1: gotten the best out of him. It was more or
Speaker 1: less a talk opposed to an interview, and you have
Speaker 1: some good conversations with him. I mean, you really did
Speaker 1: a wonderful job with him, and I know it couldn't
Speaker 1: be easy. It was one of your favorites. Um. I
Speaker 1: know people in Green Bay are gonna hate you when
Speaker 1: I say this, but right about now, if you had
Speaker 1: breaking live news on Peacock and they decided to go
Speaker 1: with the pre recording opposed to which you do every
Speaker 1: day all day long, that would be sick, man, that
Speaker 1: would really be sick. I honestly feel that with Aaron
Speaker 1: in the situation that he's in for everybody's site, I
Speaker 1: hope he stays in Green Bay because if he moves around, man,
Speaker 1: people are going to be jumping off of mountaintops in
Speaker 1: Green Bay. I really do. I don't know what kind
Speaker 1: of mountains they have they're in Green Bay. But maybe
Speaker 1: they'll find some, thank you, Jeff. There's some small ski
Speaker 1: hills in the upper Yeah, maybe something like that. And
Speaker 1: you know, Kobe had to want to play like he
Speaker 1: whenever he came on, he viewed it as a conversation.
Speaker 1: But you kind of you had to work him a
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, I had to. I had to go
Speaker 1: after him and find some things that I could bring
Speaker 1: out in him. But I think these guys are competitors,
Speaker 1: and I always view some guys I just view it
Speaker 1: as a competition. My competition is I got to try
Speaker 1: to get something out of you, and then they may
Speaker 1: be competitive in return making you work a little bit.
Speaker 1: And a lot of times it's talking about things that
Speaker 1: they don't normally talk about, and that's where you can
Speaker 1: get something, or at least they allow you in. And
Speaker 1: then once you're in, it's up to you. And what
Speaker 1: kind of questions you have? Rich in Kentucky, Hi, Rich,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? But first off, long time
Speaker 1: six two two ten, Thanks for lett. So, I just
Speaker 1: wanted to weigh in with the Rogers Jordan Love topic.
Speaker 1: Something I've been thinking about that doesn't seem to be
Speaker 1: gotten a lot of conversation is it pretty much have
Speaker 1: been the same way with Aaron Rodgers set behind far
Speaker 1: for three years, right, he didn't start till his fourth year,
Speaker 1: and maybe you give Jordan Love under Rogers two more years.
Speaker 1: Rogers is under contract till I think two more years.
Speaker 1: He'll be thirty nine at that time. You know, you
Speaker 1: got to find out if if Jordan Love is your guy, obviously,
Speaker 1: and if he is great, then you started the year
Speaker 1: four like you did with Rogers. More your thoughts on that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it really though. You're gonna get Jordan Love and thanks
Speaker 1: for the phone call, and then you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: sign him up for that fifth year option and you've
Speaker 1: gotten nothing out of him probably for the next couple
Speaker 1: of years, and then all of a sudden you're going
Speaker 1: to turn the team over to him. Rogers fell into
Speaker 1: their lap at the end of the first round, because
Speaker 1: the discussion going into that draft was who's going number one,
Speaker 1: Alex Smith or Aaron Rodgers. And Aaron fell all the
Speaker 1: way to the end of the first round, and I
Speaker 1: think the Packers just went he's the best guy available.
Speaker 1: They didn't trade up to get him. He just fell
Speaker 1: into their lap. And if I'm farv I'm not pleased
Speaker 1: about it either. They were right about Aaron Rodgers. We're
Speaker 1: going to find out if they're right about Jordan Love.
Speaker 1: But part of the beauty of drafting a quarterback in
Speaker 1: the first round is I get him with a salary
Speaker 1: that is not going to have an impact on my
Speaker 1: team in a detrimental way. I can use that money
Speaker 1: to spread the wealth around. That's why Seattle was able
Speaker 1: to keep the Legion of Boom together. A lot of
Speaker 1: these great teams, you know, they keep the team together
Speaker 1: because if it's based off a rookie contract, you can
Speaker 1: still do that and pay the veterans. You know, Dak Prescott,
Speaker 1: you're able to bring those players in. He didn't make anything.
Speaker 1: That's where you build a championship team. David and Illinois. Hi, David, Hey, Dan, Hey,
Speaker 1: listen man, My whole thing is Detroit dilemma. What's going
Speaker 1: on in our quarterback? We got all new stuff. The
Speaker 1: Fords never spend money. We lost two Hall of Famers
Speaker 1: and Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson because the fordge won't
Speaker 1: spend money. Now we have a whole new management team
Speaker 1: and we're going to get rid of our best asset,
Speaker 1: which is Stafford. So what are we going to do?
Speaker 1: I go back to what I was told prior to
Speaker 1: the draft, that the Lions kick the tires on two
Speaker 1: a tongue of violo. But from what I was told,
Speaker 1: the coaching staff knew if they didn't make the playoffs
Speaker 1: this year, they were going to be fired. They wanted
Speaker 1: they didn't want to have Matthew. They wanted to have
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. They thought they you know, he obviously gave
Speaker 1: them a better chance of winning and making the playoffs.
Speaker 1: They drafted what Jeff Akuta, and that didn't work out,
Speaker 1: But they did look at Tua as moving on from
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford last year. That's what I was told leading
Speaker 1: up to the draft. Paulie the stain sports history and
Speaker 1: Jimmer prittet is something against. In nineteen ninety seven, Dan
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl thirty one halftime show, Green Bay Packers
Speaker 1: versus New eng The Patriots nineteen eighty seven. If anyone
Speaker 1: could guess even one of the three musical acts that
Speaker 1: performed a halftime I'll buy your lunch boys dem In
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety seven, no good guests. But nineteen ninety seven
Speaker 1: Britney Spears a little early Aerosmith, Andrew's a lot closer.
Speaker 1: Fritzie in sync, not bad zz Top, James Brown and
Speaker 1: the Blues Brother without John Belushi. Ooh, that's the nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety seven Super Bowl thirty one Packers Patriots. Todd would
