I heard from somebody in China yesterday, 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:26.400 somebody in Japan yesterday, somebody in Croatia yesterday, and of 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.319 course people in the United States access to the show 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.679 on YouTube dot com slash the Dan Patrick Show, and 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:35.640 of course our great radio affiliates. It's around the country, 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:39.240 numbering three hundred and sixty two. We're down on Dan 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:41.679 at Fritzie is not here today as I lower the 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:45.680 curtain on his desk. Mclovin is here, seton and paul Ian, 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:47.720 of course yours truly got a lot of things to 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:49.960 talk about today. We talked to the duke head coach, 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:52.440 Mike Shashevsky, coming up a little bit later on in 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:54.880 the program, play of the Day, stat of the Day, 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:59.880 and a poll question from mclovin is forthcoming. No matter 0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:02.560 who's to blame for Spike Lee's spat with the Knicks, 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.320 ultimately the team will be the loser in this situation. 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.880 I saw where the Brooklyn Nets are reaching out and 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.040 saying to Spike Lee, Hey, you want to root for 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:11.640 a team in the New York area. I wanted to 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.840 come to Brooklyn. He lives there in Brooklyn, and Spike 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:18.080 apparently was turned away from an employee entrance and the 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:23.360 situation blew up. The team called his actions laughable, but 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.720 with a few exceptions, you never never mess with a 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:30.400 celebrity fan. The Lakers let Jack Nicholson actually argue with 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:34.120 the officials. Drake has so much power in Toronto, the 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.880 Raptors would probably suit him up for a game. And 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:40.760 remember Billy Crystal, Billy Crystal deserves his statue in Los 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:44.280 Angeles for all those years that he's stuck with the Clippers. 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:47.160 The Knicks had plenty of celebrity fans, but none of 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.960 them are as visible as Spike. You go back to 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:51.880 the playoffs when he had the back and forth with 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:55.360 Reggie Miller part of NBA history. Now, I may have 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.200 gone too far this time around with his reaction, but 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.120 the Knicks could use loyal fans. They have a great 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:03.320 fan base. Believe it or not. You know, it's a 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:06.600 horribly run team. It's a horrible team. But like him 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.519 or not, Spike Lee has been there through thick and thin, 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:12.040 and hopefully for the team, they'll fight a way to 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:14.839 keep him in the building. He went on First Take 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.880 yesterday and he said that this has been building up, 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:22.120 that this actually started a month ago. It's something I 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:26.280 got saying it started a month ago because the twenty 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:29.600 eight years I've been used employee entrance, and at every 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:34.400 game I take the ramp as a circlar ramp outside 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:36.480 inside the garden for the circle if there's a second 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:38.440 guard by it before we go to the media. Yes, 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:43.720 the twent years, my answers have been employe entrance. Between years, 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:45.160 I going down the ramp and a month ago they 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:47.760 stopped me for going down the Rampike I have a question. Yeah, 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.440 you don't know, Okay, all of a sudden said we're 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:54.840 a new policy out of nowhere. Here's the thing. If 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:59.360 they had my phone number, text email, let me know. 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.160 All right. He's been doing this. You would think if 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.360 you're the Knicks, Spike Lee has been the one constant, 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:10.440 like he shows up for every game. He supports you everywhere. 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.400 He's on the red carpet. He's supporting you. He spends 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:17.800 three hundred thousand dollars a year for his seats. He 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:21.520 doesn't get the seats, he buys the seats. He is 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:27.279 an employee. He is an ambassador for you. I mean, 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:32.560 he's been doing this for decades. Wouldn't you say, hey, Spike, 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:34.760 by the way, here's the heads up. If you're coming 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:38.040 in this way, we have new security guards or a 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:41.320 new security policy, whatever it is. He would be the 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:44.480 one guy I would say. He is an employee, he's 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:48.400 been an ambassador. I think you can reach Spike Lee. 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.200 You can call him. I can give you his number. 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.919 You can call him and just say, hey, Spike, just 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.120 to let you know we're changing things up a little bit. 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:01.400 I would roll out the red carpet for somebody who 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:03.480 was going to follow and love the Knicks as much 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.200 as he does. I'd give him a police escort to 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:09.359 make sure he got to the game. This isn't a 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.480 guy who just shows up and wants to be seen 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:13.920 in the front row. He's not somebody who's going to 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.560 show up where an agent goes, hey, can you get 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:21.480 my guys some tickets for free? Spike cares, Spike loves 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:25.719 the Knicks. But this goes back to it's just it's 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:30.200 a poorly run organization. It is, and it starts at 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.440 the top with James Dolan. I don't know if he 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.400 has it out for Spike Lee. I don't know why 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.040 he would have it out for Spike Lee. You had 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:40.159 the incident with Charles Oakley. You know, they're just trying 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.560 to settle that, and now you have this. Spike actually 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:47.719 wants to go watch your product and it's bad, and 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:51.480 he still wants to, don't you do? What if I'd 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:54.360 be walking up to him and go, hey, man, sorry, 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.160 where do you want to sit tonight? Yeah? You want 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:00.920 to sit on the bench, you can. I would treat 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:05.920 him the way Toronto treats Drake. But he's paying for this, 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.200 and Okay, did he go in the wrong entrance? Maybe? 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.080 Did he do something he's not supposed to do. Maybe, 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:14.440 But I would clear that up quickly with him and 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.640 just say Spike, sorry, about that. You know what, got 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:22.039 a security guard. He overreacted, maybe you overreacted, you know. 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.400 But they're they're saying that Spike is laughable. His side 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:28.839 of the story is laughable. The New York Knicks press 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.800 release said that, and this is what Spike had to 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.360 say about that. Why do you think the policy changed 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:38.200 at least towards you. I'm I'm behalt. I've been harassed 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:39.920 by James O. I don't know why. Let me have 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.160 what about the press release? Did you object to? That 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.200 means you said, what did the press release say that? 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:47.159 You said? That's not true that me and him athlete 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.160 if he came to me this you know, at halftime 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.960 he leaves. He always walked across the court and it's 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:54.839 a direct right. Well, I'll said he and the press 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:59.080 he says that we shook hands. It would laugh. He 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:01.560 actually said, that's what it says. The Nick spokesman said 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:03.479 that it was untrue that it was simply an issue 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:10.440 of Lee using the wrong entrance eight years. I just 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:17.480 up and it's garden spin. I wasn't shaking his head. 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.000 In fact, when he came over me, I didn't get it, 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:26.600 by the way such as I was wow the reason 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:29.840 why he's so angry. He's invested in that team. He's 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.360 more invested in that team than James Dolan is, and 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:37.120 he's the owner. Spike cares. I don't know if James 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:40.920 Dolan cares. He doesn't care like Spike does, you know, Stephen, 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:45.440 I'm trying to be fair and understand that there's an 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:51.280 issue here, But it's kind of ridiculous because I'm trying 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.720 to be fair to to Spike Lee because he is he. 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.120 When you're on the outside looking at it, it's like, dude, 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.520 just use a different tour, big deal, right, Like I 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:01.040 know that he but he he is different than the 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:03.520 average person going in there, not only because of his 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.760 celebrity status but because of his fandom. But especially as 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:09.200 celebrity status, he should get a different entrance to go 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:12.840 in and out of. Yeah. Right, I mean he's an employee, right, 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:16.080 I mean, I truly believe that he's an employee. Jerry Ferrara, 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:19.920 who played Turtle on Entourage. I think he works with 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:23.840 the Knicks as an ambassador. There's no better ambassador for 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:27.600 any team than Spike Lee is for the Knicks, because 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.720 there's no team that's been as bad this long and 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.640 still have that loyalty from somebody like the Knicks and 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:37.760 Spike Lee. Did he overreact? Maybe maybe he's sensitive the 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:41.760 way they treated Charles Oakley. Maybe he's sensitive because this 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:45.559 team is so bad and he is frustrated. I understand 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:47.920 all of those things, but you can at least give 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:51.720 him the common courtesy to say, Spike, go through this entrance. 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:55.800 Now we change things up. That would be the thing 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.040 that I would say, you got to do that before 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.199 he walks in. You can't be going, hey, no, can't 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.240 come in this way. If you've been doing that for 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:06.680 twenty eight years and then they change it up, and 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:09.440 they change it up now, then you're gonna wait, what's 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:14.600 going on here? And looking at the video, did Spike overreact? Absolutely? 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.400 But in his mind he's like, wait, like I do 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:21.559 this every game. He comes to every game. Yeah. Point, 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:23.880 And I think that whole outburst by Spike both in 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.880 the moment when he's in the hallway and yesterday, it's 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:30.720 it's a generation of frustrations. That was the moment, like 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.520 you're you're targeting me, You're kicking not letting me in. 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:36.400 I've supported you guys. You guys have stunk for two decades, 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.440 the worst ownership. Nobody wants to play here. There's teams 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:41.440 all over the place getting free agents and we're getting 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:43.520 none of them. And it's like the boiling point of 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.199 maybe two decades of frustration. And he's like, now I'm 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:48.040 going to go all in on James Dolan and he 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:50.520 says that he's not going to any more Knicks games 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:52.560 this season. He had this to say on first take, 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.520 you just said, Javie and harassed, yes, are you going 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:59.199 back to a Knicks game this year? Not this year? 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.280 You can no, I'm coming back next year, but I'm 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:09.079 dump for the seas. I'm done. I did reach out 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.600 to somebody who works with the Knicks last night. I said, Hey, 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.320 if Spike's not going to use his tickets, maybe I 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.840 could go to a game here and I'll go in 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:20.000 whatever entrance you want me to. Now, there is a 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:23.760 VIP entrance where celebrities can go in. There's an area 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.240 where they can go that there's a green room, and 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:29.280 then that way they're not bothered by the regular fans. 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:31.360 But this has been around at the Garden for a 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:33.720 long time, where you go to your green room and 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:36.320 then you know, I was wondered how do those celebrities 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.280 get down on the floor so quickly? And it's because 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:41.880 they kind of, you know, cordon them off and then 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:45.160 they're able to come down and go to their seats. Yeah. Mclovin. 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.160 By way, if you think Spike had a hard time, 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.440 if you say you're taking those tickets and you don't 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.240 show up in the days, show up in your place, 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:55.520 the same exact reactions. We've had trouble with that. Oh no, no, 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:58.400 I'm not taking you guys. Well, yeah, but if you no, no, 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.320 don't say that alloud. No, I'm going myself. Oh yeah, 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.080 yeah in Miami heat now, they know how to treat people, right. 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.599 It's true you guys got VIP treatment. But yeah, you 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.680 go through the employee entrance when you went to the 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:12.920 Heat game. I certainly didn't go through the commoner entrance, 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.880 of course, you're Dan now, Yeah we went through. You 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.680 went through like this other separate entrance, and it was 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:23.320 a lovely carpeted hallway oft as carpet I've ever felt 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.400 my left so just because because you're going down the 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:27.959 same hallway that the players. When you get to your seat, 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:31.040 you go through the same hallway and entrance that the 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:34.120 players go through, so they can't you know, damage their 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:37.199 feet walking onto the chords. So pure oxygen was pumped 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.600 in the hallways that we're walking through, and we're standing 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:40.960 there and we're like looking and we're like, wow, this 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.040 is awesome. And then you just hear over the walkie 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.640 talking is Jimmy's coming. Jimmy's coming, everybody, Jimmy's coming, And 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:49.360 all of a sudden, Jimmy Butler comes walking by. Yeah, 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:53.320 it was nice though with the separate bar. Yeah, let's 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:55.840 do it. You're a baller, yell. And then, as always, 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.080 whenever we get any type of VIFP treatment today, and 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.000 that's one of the people who helped set it up. 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:04.959 So where's then and then we're like, oh, that's when 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:06.560 we make up some excuse that you couldn't make it. 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:08.960 This was Super Bowl week where the Dennet's got the 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:12.720 red carpet treatment from my Miami heat. By the way, 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:14.840 this program is brought to you by True Car. Go 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.199 to True Car to build your car and compare models 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.480 by options from delivery to pricing to reviews. Get everything 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.280 you need with the new True Car. And I don't 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:26.439 know if the common sports fan really cares what happened 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:30.640 to Spike Lee. But it's really just another example of 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:35.160 the Knicks just can't get it right. Remember when they 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:38.120 had all they thought, if they got Zion, then they 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:42.800 get Kyrie, they get Kevin Durant, then we're changing the garden. Well, 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.520 guys who were fifty years of age or older are 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.680 the ones that go, boy, that's the place to play, 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:53.480 that's the mecca basketball. That fan base is wonderful, loyal, great, 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.760 and they put up with a horrible product year in 0:12:56.840 --> 0:13:00.319 and year out, and then of course they don't get on. 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.920 They don't get kd they don't get Kyrie, and then 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.640 they got nine power forwards on that team. They had 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:12.359 Phil Jackson and it didn't work. And now look at them. 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.560 It's still a mess and not getting better anytime soon. 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:19.080 But the guy who actually wants to go see that product, 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:22.560 I let him do whatever he wants to do. He 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:24.880 can come in where he wants to, he can he 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:30.480 can park wherever he wants to. Yeah, he actually wants 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.000 to pay to go see that product. Yes, let the 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.520 man go through the damn door. Yeah, because that's where 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.800 I'm sure all these celebrities, you know, Howard Stern is 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:42.320 probably not paying for you know, his tickets when he's there. 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:45.200 I mean, maybe Howard does. But I know that there 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:47.120 are a lot of you know, celebrities who go there 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:51.960 and it's because you get free tickets. And your publicist 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:55.400 agent calls up and says, hey, uh, you know I 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:58.120 got to Justin Bieber wants to go to the game. 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:00.839 Can I get tickets? Yeah? Yeah, no problem. How many need? 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:05.160 Need four? Okay, got four? Spike wants to go. He 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:09.000 pays three hundred thousand dollars. I don't know if Jack 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.640 Nicholson paid for his with the Lakers. He probably did. 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.240 I don't think that was a big deal for Jack. 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:19.040 But Jack would argue with players, he'd argue with the officials. 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:23.200 Drake comes over and gives Nick Nurse, the head coach, 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:28.400 a BackRub during a game, and then the Knicks are 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:32.840 worried about Spike Lee coming in through the employee entrance there. Yeah, Paul, 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.000 you know this is about James Dolan and the frustration 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:36.640 of Knicks fans over the years. Remember a couple of 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:38.720 years ago, I threw out a policy if a team 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.480 doesn't make the postseason for a decade, that owner must 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:45.360 sell right the next in year seven, of that. You 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.000 know how easy it is to make the playoffs in 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.320 the NBA. I wonder how many teams have not made 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:53.280 the playoffs in the past seven years. Probably four. Everyone 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:55.880 makes it, everyone rotates in. Yeah, that's seven years up 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:58.480 making the postseason, not an appearing in the postseason. And 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:00.480 you know, we get caught up in and oh, I 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:05.160 remember when Walt Clyde Frasier was playing. I remember those Knicks, 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:09.200 even Patrick Ewings Knicks. These kids today, they don't give 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:11.720 a damn. If you're under forty day, you don't know 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:15.960 anything about it unless your dad goes, hey, you need 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:17.840 to you want to play for the Knicks. I think 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:22.280 Zion wanted to play for the Knicks. But Durant said this, 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:26.200 He's like, hey, Garden doesn't mean anything to me. I 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:28.520 mean it is New York. Great, I'll come in and 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:30.880 visit it. I don't I don't have to play there. 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.960 And you know, if I'm a player, why would I 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:38.080 play for an owner that I don't believe him? Every 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:43.720 great team it starts with ownership. It's really rare. It's accidental. 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:47.320 If a team is great and the owner is a misfit. 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:52.480 I mean, think about it. You usually have some pretty 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:56.680 sharp people running teams who allow the people to run 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.440 the team. They give them jobs and they actually let 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:04.840 you do your job. There's a lot of dysfunctional franchises 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:08.160 and I always go who's the owner, and then who's 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:11.360 the GM, and then you say who's the coach. But 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:15.920 with the Knicks, it doesn't change. It doesn't change because 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:20.240 there's no change. Now to the La Lakers, who picked 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.040 up to win last night opposite end of the spectrum. There, 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:26.840 the Lakers have won nine to ten and they took 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:30.680 a part the underman seventy six ers. What I find 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:34.160 interesting about the Lakers this year is you got a 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:36.800 guy who didn't want to play point guard, has never 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.200 wanted to be the point guard, and he's become the 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:42.400 best point guard in the game. And Lebron James. You 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:46.120 have Anthony Davis. That's been a smooth transition. Remember Frank 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:48.520 Vogel coming in and I told you I love the 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:50.240 move because you're thinking, well, you gotta have a big 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:52.800 name for the Lakers. No, you need somebody who can 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:57.720 steady that ship. Because you had some situations there where 0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:59.960 the younger players knew they were going to be traded 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:03.520 and Lebron was going to trade them, and it was 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:07.280 it felt like in disrepair. Lebron was mailing it in 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:10.800 on defense. They weren't playing well, they weren't playing consistent. 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:15.320 Lebron had kind of distanced himself from those younger players. Now, 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:19.840 you don't hear any drama. We try to invent drama. 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:23.560 Oh my god, Lebron, he's embracing the young players in 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:29.840 the game. He's showing weakness there, right, they were trying 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:35.040 to do that. He's showing weakness. Oh, he's gonna mentors. 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:40.800 Zion Williamson, Man, I think that's awesome, help these kids 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:44.240 become great. How come Kobe could do it and nobody 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:46.440 had a problem with it. Lebron does it and then 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:51.040 a showing weakness, showing weakness, Yon, there's no drama with 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:53.480 the Lakers this year. Now, there could be drama come 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:56.960 postseason time. If they don't win, then I'm sure that 0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:00.240 we're gonna hear. Oh, Lebron, you got Anthony Davis the 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:03.359 team he wanted, and look what happened. But he's sort 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:06.359 of stayed out of the decision making. It feels like 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:09.680 because I thought, you know, they could have had Tyron 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:13.159 Low but they did the right thing. They got Frank Vogel, 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:17.919 who was a level headed, no drama head coach. And 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:20.920 nobody's talked about Frank Vogel for coach of the year. 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:24.760 Why not look at what they've done in the West. 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:29.800 They've been great and picking up the win last night 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:32.760 against the seventy six ers. Yes it's an underman seventy 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:35.320 six thirteen, but you know, you can't afford to take 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:37.639 those nights off. It's like the Rockets in small ball. 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:39.919 They go to New York and loose to the Knicks. 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:44.320 It happens, you mail it in. Sometimes somebody has a 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:46.840 great game, a career game. You know, the Lakers have 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:52.000 to have distance between themselves and the LA Clippers. And 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:53.719 then if you want to wrest Lebron a little bit, 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:56.760 and Anthony David, Anthony Davis is the bigger concern, not Lebron. 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:02.600 And what's Lebron eight years older than Anthony Davis, nine 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:06.200 years older than Anthony Davis. I'm worried more about Anthony 0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:08.920 Davis than i am Lebron. James, all right, we'll take 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:11.520 a break. Phone calls are always welcome.

Well, we can 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:50.840 go with celebrity fans and this is a loaded question, 0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:54.520 who's the best celebrity fan? But some people don't like 0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:57.359 Spike Lee, So I guess you have two questions, who's 0:20:57.359 --> 0:20:59.439 the best or who's the most visible. Some of the 0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:02.240 choices on all these lists out there are Jack Nicholson 0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:06.080 Spike Lee. But Jack doesn't show up to the Lakers. Yeah, 0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:11.480 sort of grandfathered in, Um, Billy Crystal because he still 0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:13.240 goes at every Clippers the game. I believe I saw 0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:16.040 him the other day. Remember it was Billy Crystal and 0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:20.400 Arsenio Hall would go to the Clipper games and when 0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:24.199 they were bad, they would go. I don't know if 0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:27.040 they made him he got to use the employee entrance 0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:29.560 or he got to had to use the VIP entrance. Yes, 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:31.800 you know the other Clippers celebrity fan was that kid 0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:35.879 Frankie munez Uh Malcolm in the middle, Yes, that's he. 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:37.600 When he was young, he would always be spotted there 0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:39.800 and be like, there's Billy Crystal and there's a little Frankie. 0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:42.720
