I'm watching the Coach kse ceremony against 5 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: North Carolina, his final home game at Cameron Indoor. There's 6 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: Dirt Navitsky and I'm going Dirk didn't play at Duke. 7 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,240 Speaker 1: Imagine if he did. But Dirk was there and wanted 8 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: to experience that the college campus and saying goodbye to 9 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: Coach k Yes. Time a little too much ken jong 10 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: for my taste. Nobody gets ken jong. But every time 11 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: they went to the crowd, they showed Adam Silver and 12 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: Jerry Seinfeld several times, which is heavy hitters, but a 13 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 1: lot of ken jong reaction. And I was trying to 14 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 1: figure out what that was all done. The man went 15 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: to Duke, but whatever the mask singer, isn't he a 16 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,559 Speaker 1: judge on the mask singer? Yeah? And he's been in 17 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: some movies and stuff, but like I didn't know what 18 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: he's been on our show a couple of times. Really 19 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: nice minute used to be a doctor and gave up 20 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: his medical stuff to do acting and things. But you 21 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: had a problem with him. I had a problem with it. 22 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: They just kept going to him like he was I 23 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: don't know, like there was some some giant superstar and 24 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: they want the network wants to make sure we knew 25 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: that Ken Jong was in the building. Well, he went 26 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 1: to Duke. Good for him. A lot of people went 27 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,759 Speaker 1: to Duke. I just I understand why he was there, 28 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: and he was ready to do right. They were getting 29 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: these reaction shots. It's now nineteen twelve, North Carolina. Why 30 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: are you concerned? Why does this bother you? And I 31 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: just found it very weird. They kept showing it like 32 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,559 Speaker 1: they were the only celebrities that they showed Adam Silver, 33 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,839 Speaker 1: Jerry sie Ken Jong, Sam Silver, Jerry Cyth, Ken Jong. 34 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: There's there's oh hey, this five days later. It's just 35 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 1: really weird. You just your team just got Russell Wilson. 36 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: I'm very happy about that. You're not, but lots of 37 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: ken Jong reaction. Oh no, what he's getting excited? Duke 38 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: cut it to two. Oh no, he's upset. It's seven 39 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: pack to seth Yes, ken Jong was whipping up the crowd. 40 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: He was having fun with them. He was performing kind 41 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: of like getting the crowd going. David uh, what do 42 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: you call it? Adam Silver and David and Jerry sentfol 43 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: were sitting motionless. They weren't even speaking to each other. 44 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: There wasn't much entertainment. You cut to them. Ken Jong 45 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: was like whipping the crowd to a frenzy final hour. Here, 46 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: Dirk Navitski will join us. Coming up. Fritzie's got mock 47 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: headline that Russell Wilson is now a Denver Bronco. And 48 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: I was not going to let you do them because 49 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: you could not name one single quarterback after Peyton Manning 50 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: froze frozen, truly first freezing I ever experienced. Yeah, you 51 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: could not name anybody, And but I know you put 52 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: in the time, and you've sent me the mockhead lines 53 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: a couple of times. Now, how did I I cover 54 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,679 Speaker 1: with a Flacco and Keenham Sidney in at least those 55 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: three at least And you said I only had a 56 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: name three, which put me even more pressure on me 57 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: because I'm like, oh, I have to be able to 58 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 1: come up with three of them. Okay, okay, monckhead lines 59 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,839 Speaker 1: here we got Come on? Will Russ Cook in Colorado? 60 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: Can number three helped Broncos get number four because they 61 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: have Super three Super Bowl titles. Rocky Mountain, Russ mile 62 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: high expectations, long eld way to go, but Bronx should 63 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: be much better, AFC best, Russ joins Mahomes, Herbert Carr 64 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: in tough Division. What the Helen's going on? These are terrible. 65 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: Denver has orange crushed on new QB. Yeah, I mean, 66 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: come on, that's not original. Next manning up, they finally 67 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: have a quarterback where there's a Wilson. There's a way, no, no, no, no, 68 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 1: damn three piece rus spring stability under center with the 69 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: number three because it was so damn three piece. All right, 70 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: another fail, which is worse that or not being able 71 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: to name all the Broncot it's closed, But you're a Bronco. 72 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: You got Bronco pajamas, I got Bronco socks. Eye that 73 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: you guys did even say it. I'm wearing orange and 74 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: blue sneakers either, though they're not Bronco. Eight seven seven 75 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: three d P show email addres STP at dan Patrick 76 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: dot com, Twitter, handily TP shows Aaron Rodgers stays, Russell 77 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: Wilson goes and if you're just joining us, I gave 78 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: a little bit of the backstory because I was told 79 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: that they the Seahawks were quietly, quietly shopping Russell Wilson, 80 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: and so I reached out to some people and I said, 81 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: is this true? And I didn't get a definitive answer. 82 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: That's why the last couple of months I'd said, look, 83 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be gone from Seattle. It feels 84 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: like you got to keep either Pete or you're going 85 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: to keep Russ. And then, you know, the reason why 86 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: I was told that they were privately quietly shopping him 87 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: was because it was somebody who knew about what was 88 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: going on in Carolina. David Tepper, their billionaire owner, desperately 89 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: wants to get a quarterback down there and was gonna 90 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: you know, apparently they were in talks or they were 91 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: trying to have talks with Seattle, and then it came 92 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: down to Denver was all in on Aaron Rodgers if 93 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: he was not staying. They were all in, prepared for 94 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: a deal. And then that didn't happen. And then a 95 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: little more than an hour later, Denver and Seattle complete 96 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: a trade. Well, you don't complete a trade like that 97 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: unless you've had discussions for quite some time, and that 98 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: was the case. You know, did I believe Pete Carroll 99 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: when he said, no, you know, we haven't had eight 100 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: talks with anybody to trade Russ. No, but it was 101 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: a muscle situation because they were shopping him. What can 102 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: we get for him? And where will he oh? Because 103 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: he could veto the trade, and Russ quickly said, yep, 104 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm out of here, and Seattle got a 105 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: haul here. You're trading a Hall of Fame quarterback. Now, 106 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: maybe he's not one of the elite quarterbacks. Now, maybe 107 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: he's not a top five quarterback, but he does give 108 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: you a chance to win every single game. And you 109 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 1: haven't been able to have a quarterback who gave you 110 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: that hope. You're in a tough division other great quarterbacks there. 111 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: Absolutely is it the ideal place for Russ to go. 112 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: Probably not not to change the legacy and win a championship, 113 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: because I still look at Aaron Rodgers as a far 114 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: greater chance of getting to Super Bowls than Russell Wilson does. 115 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 1: Because the NFC has a couple of you know, maybe 116 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: land Mine, certainly the Rams are going to be formidable. 117 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what to expect from Dallas. Who else 118 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: comes to the forefront that maybe I'm missing out on 119 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: and you're gonna have a couple of surprises if Tom 120 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: Brady ends up in San Francisco. Okay, but you know, 121 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: can the Saints get a quarterback? It just feels like 122 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers staying getting everything he wanted made it made 123 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: the most sense because that's a team that should be 124 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 1: hosting the NFC title Game at least the next two years. 125 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: As far as what Seattle strategy is, you're not reloading. 126 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: That's a rebuild. You got a lot of draft picks there, 127 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: you get a couple of players who probably start for you. 128 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: You lost Bobby Wagner. You lose Bobby Wagner and that 129 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: I always looked at him and said, he's the heartbeat 130 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: of that football team, not Russell Wilson. It just felt 131 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: like Bobby Wagner was their leader. Russ was their quarterback. 132 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner was their leader. Now they lose him. Gonzaga, 133 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 1: South Dakota State, Bryant, Bellerman and Delaware and Right State 134 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: they all win. Bellerman is not going to the Big 135 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: Dance because they weren't eligible to go. They just moved 136 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: up from Division two to Division one. But they did 137 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 1: win their tournament. But it's like, how weird is that 138 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: to lose your tournament but celebrate because you get to 139 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: go to the tournament. Like Jacksonville's running around like, yeah, 140 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: we lost, yeah, but we're going to the tournament because 141 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: Bellerman can't go yes time. And when these teams win, 142 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: if you notice they go off to the side and 143 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: they've got a specially made sign that has their logo 144 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: and shows them like with a bracket kind of cheap 145 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: behind them that they're officially in the dance. And to 146 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: not have any of that, which looks like a tradition 147 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: what these schools do that rarely get in. It's really disappointed. 148 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: Thanks good. Strongest field of the PGA Tour and it's 149 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: one of the great golf courses in the world. TPC 150 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: saw Grass who will have this year's defining moment the 151 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: Players Saturday one Eastern on NBC and Peacock.

You can watch this show as well. 154 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: Say good morning to our radio affiliates as well. The 155 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: poll question so far seat and o'counter. We're gonna wrap 156 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: up this pole question. So here's the final results. More 157 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: likely to get their second ring first. Patrick Mahomes has 158 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: half of the vote, followed by Aaron Rodgers and Matthew Stafford, 159 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: who are tied at twenty percent. Russell Wilson just ten 160 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: percent of the vote. Yeah, I would say Aaron over 161 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes just because the AFC has it feels like 162 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: Buffalo is the second best to Kansas City and Buffalo 163 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,559 Speaker 1: two best teams according to Vegas than Yeah, the Rams 164 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: in the NFC. Yes, I thought maybe we could change 165 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: it up to who has more pressure going into this 166 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: season now, Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson. Okay, I would 167 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: say Aaron Rodgers because he got everything that he wanted. 168 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: That's still a big deal for Russell Wilson. Yeah, I 169 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: mean Russ wanted out, but but you know, the acrimony 170 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: didn't spill out publicly, whereas Aaron Rodgers, we knew everything 171 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: that was going on. It felt like that he's being 172 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: brought in as a savior though as the guy who's 173 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 1: turning it all around. All of a sudden, they're, you know, 174 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: fifth in Super Bowl odds. They took a big jump 175 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: up by getting him. Feels like that's gonna that's just 176 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: adding a ton of pressure to Russell Wilson, they're fifth 177 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 1: and Super Bowl. Yeah. I was looking at the Draft 178 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: Kings sport book sports book earlier, and they jumped up 179 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: to fifth. It's Kansas City, Buffalo, the Rams, Green Bay, Denver. 180 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: Let me look, does that sound about right? It's also 181 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: possible I'm completely wrong. Get some of our best. I 182 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: know for a fact. They're Super Bowl odds went through 183 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: the roof though compared to where they were, well, they 184 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 1: were probably pretty low. That's why they went through the roof. 185 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: Did they go through like the first floor, did they 186 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 1: go through the second floor? Did they go through the 187 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: actual roof? Yes, PAULI. The Packers went from sixteen to 188 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: one to ten to one, eleven to one. Well, what 189 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,719 Speaker 1: about Denver checking it right? I have actually want to 190 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: get it right. I have Draft Kings right here. Okay, okay, 191 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 1: they have Super Bowl odds, Chiefs, Bills, Packers, Rams, Bronchos 192 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: in that order. I'm not gonna jump in on the 193 00:09:55,320 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: Bronchos odds right now. That's followed by the forty nine Ers, Cowboys, Ravens, Bengals. Okay, yeah, 194 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: poll Denver Super Bowl odds were eighteen to one twenty 195 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: four hours ago, right before Aaron Rodgers decided to stay. 196 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: After Aaron Rodgers decided to stay, they went to twenty 197 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: five to one. They got worse, and I'm seeing if 198 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: it got better. They got to get the next step 199 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: in here. But when Aaron Rodgers decided not to go 200 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: to Denver, their odds got worse. Fritzie gave us his 201 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: mock headlines, or at least what he thought were reasonable 202 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: facts similes Ryan and Honolulu have some mock headlines, and 203 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: he joins us, now, Hi, Ryan, Oh oh, Dan, Why 204 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: do I always feel like I'm following Fritzie A carolines. 205 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: Oh that's a good thing, right.

I thought 219 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: that was very good. Yeah, it was, yes, yes. Isn't 220 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: it weird though, when your mind goes blank like that 221 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: for no reason?

You know, 300 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: I've been been staying busy with other things and uh, 301 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: you know, been playing more and more tennis in my retirement, 302 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: so I haven't played Dutch much shops at all. How 303 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: did you end up at Duke for the Coach K 304 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: Farewell Tour? Great question I have. We have a few 305 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: friends here that that all went to Duke, and they're 306 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: big supporters, and they always said, hey, you got to 307 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: go to Duke one time, you got to go to 308 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: Cameron Indoor and check out the atmosphere, and so it's 309 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: always kind of like a bucket listing for me. And 310 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: when they basically did me for this Coach k last game, 311 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 1: I said, it's a no brainer. You know, it's a 312 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: bucket list. I want to go anyways, and now to 313 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: get get to see Coach K's last game. So it 314 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: was a no brainer. And it was an unbelievable atmosphere. 315 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: I mean an atmosphere that I usually only seen Europe, 316 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: where guys jumping all game long and throwing stuff and um, 317 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: that was amazing. But just you know, you and C 318 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: stealing the game at the end was a little bit 319 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: of a buzz kill. But I still had had a 320 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 1: great time. Did you get scholarship offers in Germany? I 321 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: had a few offers back in the days. I actually 322 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: visited some colleges. I visited Kentucky at the time. I 323 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: visited cal and Stanford. Not sure I would have gotten 324 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,959 Speaker 1: into Stanford with what I performed in high school. I 325 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: think they would have gotten inder. They somehow Kentucky would 326 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: have got you, and that's for sure, would I would 327 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: probably think I would have gotten into Kentucky. So those 328 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: those are the three that and I decided then to 329 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: go straight in the NBA, and obviously that was that 330 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: was the right decision for me at the time. Who 331 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: was the first pro you ever faced? First American pro? Um? 332 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: What do you mean my first NBA game or no, 333 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: when when you came over, when like international games or 334 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: when you first got drafted, like the first NBA player 335 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: you you faced. Was it in your first NBA game? No, Actually, 336 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: we had the Nike that a promo tour through through 337 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: Germany and Europe back in the days. It was called 338 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 1: the Hoop Heroes and they had a team that was stacked. 339 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 1: It was remember Scotti, Piff and Charles Barkley was on it, 340 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: Jake Kids, Gary Payton, Vin Baker, Tons Tons more, and 341 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 1: they played two or three games throughout Europe, and so 342 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: I got to play against them. At the time, I 343 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: was just in the Army. I finished high school and 344 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: I went to the Army for ten months. So I 345 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: played played against him twice in Berlin and in Dortment 346 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: up to leave, and that was really my first time 347 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: seeing like the real stars and it was a fun 348 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: up and down game and I had a blast. And 349 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: that's when after the game, famously, Charles offered me a 350 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: scholarship to Auburn. I said, I'm going to get you 351 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: into Auburn, even though Auburn hadn't recruited me at the time, 352 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: but he said he can make it happen. So that 353 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: was that was sweet. What was your role in the army? 354 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 1: So I did. Back in the days, it was mandatory 355 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: in Germany, so I did two months of basic training, 356 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: and then I kind of got into it like a 357 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: sports company, which then allowed me to stay home and 358 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,959 Speaker 1: really start training over at the time, really start training professionally, 359 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: started training twice or three times a day. Uh. And 360 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: so that's uh, that was. That was when the rest 361 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: of the eight months, and then basically once I got 362 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: out of the Army, I came, I came over, I 363 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 1: was drafted, and I came over to the MAVs. Do 364 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: you ever wish you had gone to college at least 365 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: for one year in the States, you know, but people 366 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: have asked me when I was in there and soaking 367 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: up the duke atmosphere at Cameron Doors. I mean, one 368 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: year I think would have been fun. But as you know, 369 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: my style was a little different. I think if I 370 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: would have gotten to college, I think they would have 371 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 1: put me in the weight room first and put me 372 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 1: on the block, and you know, it's there was still 373 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: old school then, it was. The game was different, and 374 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: I was really skinny, and my worry was that they 375 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: would change my game a little bit and put a 376 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: little bit more weight on me and put the bad 377 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: back to the basket. And so going to the NBA 378 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: and going to Don Nelson. Of course it was a 379 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: mismatch mass at the time, and he thought the game 380 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: a lot different. So that worked out perfectly for me. 381 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: I got to say, you know, he supported me, he 382 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: let me shoot threes, he let me play my game, 383 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: and so oh don a lot if even if I 384 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,400 Speaker 1: would have gone to the NBA income to a different situation, 385 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: things would have might have changed, changed my outcome. But 386 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: you look at this and you did change the game, 387 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: you know, Michael Jordan, we can say changed the modern game. 388 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: You could say that Steph Curry has changed the game. 389 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: But for big men to go outside. You guys were 390 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: always yelled at to go inside, get on the block 391 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: seven foot or shooting and shooting as well as you 392 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: did you change the game. Did you realize at the 393 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 1: time that you're changing the game or the perception of 394 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: big men. I appreciate that. You know, there was a 395 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: few big men obviously that could shoot before me, whether 396 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: it was Stremp was a German legend, or whether it's 397 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: Cooo Coach and some guys that spread the floor. I 398 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 1: think I came in at a time when when when 399 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: the league was changing, you know, with the league was 400 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: putting in the zone defense. It was getting rid of 401 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: some of the hand checking from the nineties. So so 402 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: I think that the game was changing in more of 403 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: a free flow and passing game, a pick and roll game, 404 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: away from you know, somebody dribbling ten seconds on the 405 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: ISO on the wings. I think the game changed, and 406 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: I was I was fortunate that I was. I was 407 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: there at the time when the game was changing, and 408 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: I was you know, now, it's it's fun to watch 409 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: these big guys come in, all skilled, all can bring 410 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: up the ball, can initiate the offense, could shoot composed 411 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: and um in the versatility from the Biggs these days, 412 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 1: it's just fun to watch. Well, I wonder the impact 413 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,120 Speaker 1: that maybe Larry Bird had on Here's a six nine 414 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: guy who was a great shooter winning the three point 415 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 1: shooting contest. I don't know who impacted you growing up 416 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: where you thought, hey, it's okay for me to go outside, 417 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: or I can perfect this. So I was a huge 418 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: NBA fan starting in the nineties. I just missed Larry 419 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: Um so I was more of a Chicago Bulls fan 420 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: in the nineties. There of course, then I got to 421 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: know Larry and did researcher on the league and saw 422 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 1: obviously is one of the best ever. But in the 423 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: nineties there when when I grew up, that was there 424 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 1: was just just before my time. So I was a 425 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: big Bulls fan. At the back of the day in Germany, 426 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: they only would show one or two games a week 427 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: and it was always usually the best team. So I 428 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: was a diehard balls fan, you know, with Ku coach 429 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: and h and later on, and so yeah, I saw 430 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 1: my game more like that, more facing the basket. I 431 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: didn't have a big frame. I was super skinny, waited 432 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: maybe two hundred and twenty pounds max and um, so 433 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: I was, yeah, it was it was easier for me 434 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: to move and face the basket always than then with 435 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: the back to the basket. What was it like the 436 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 1: first time you met Michael Jordan? So you know mj 437 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: retired with the shot game six in Utah. I was 438 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: drafted that summer. Then we had the lockout and I'm 439 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: thinking I'm about to play against my hero, against my idol, 440 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: and then he retired and I'm like, oh no, I've 441 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: just missed my hero by a few months. So he 442 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: didn't come back for the lockout a year in ninety 443 00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: nine and ninety eight ninety nine, so I didn't get 444 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: a has to play against them. And then he came 445 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: back with the Wizards a few years later, and of 446 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: course he was he was a little up there in age, 447 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: but it was still amazing. I mean, that was in all. 448 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: He guarded me a couple possessions on the post, and 449 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,360 Speaker 1: I tried to post them off, and I was excited. 450 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: I remember just shooting the brutal fade away. I don't 451 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: think I even made it, but I was just so 452 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 1: so hyped to play against m Jay and be on 453 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: the same court as my idol. But you know, the 454 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 1: first my first you really arrived in the NBA moment 455 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: was I think my third or fourth NBA game in 456 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: the local year was against Houston the Rockets in it 457 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: at the time in ninety eight ninety nine. They had 458 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: Pippin who I loved from the Bulls. They had Charles 459 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: Barkley who I loved, and they had a Kimo lajo 460 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 1: One who I watched the nineties winning back to back championships. 461 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: So I'm like, I'm running around on this court, I think, 462 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: and what is happening here? This is super surreal. So 463 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,439 Speaker 1: that was that was definitely I have arrived in the 464 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 1: NBA moment. Did you ever ask for a jersey from 465 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 1: these guys? I did not. I didn't want to be 466 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: that guy. You know, I was first of all, I 467 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: was way too shy. I wouldn't have even known how 468 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: to address them or talk to them. So I kind 469 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: of like did my thing, and then I went in 470 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: the locker room. I didn't didn't really have the cuts 471 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: to do it. How much trash did they talk to you? 472 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: I mean not not not that trio, but there was 473 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: obviously when I first got the nigue of skinny, I 474 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 1: was from Europe or shooting jumpers, so you know, everybody 475 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: was kind of like, guy, he's soft, Let's see what 476 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: he's made of. And I remember I was, I was 477 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: guarding somebody beside right in front of the opposing bench, 478 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 1: and all I can hear from the bench go out 479 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: he is soft, like blow by him. And so so 480 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: I mean I heard all these things. Of course I 481 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: hear all these things, and I thought it motivated me 482 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: to push through and get a little stronger and work 483 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: on my game. And you know, as Kevin Garnett treat you, 484 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:03,360 Speaker 1: he tried to be pretty the intimidating always, especially at 485 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: the beginning of my career when we were getting better 486 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 1: with dallas Um. We were we were pushing into the 487 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: playoffs there. My first two years we missed the playoffs. 488 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 1: My third year we finally met the playoffs. And then, 489 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: you know, he tried to intimidate me, and you know 490 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 1: sometimes after a time out to walk out of the 491 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: time out, he had already left his time out early 492 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: to stand there and walk with me faith almost and 493 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: that that was KG. I loved his passionate intensity and 494 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: he was a little crazy. So we had two great 495 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: battles over the year. Obviously, you know, the pierces competitor 496 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: also bring out the best in you, and he try 497 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 1: to you know, hold your own. And so we've had 498 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 1: some great battles of our careers. You know, Kobe closes 499 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 1: out his career was sixty, Like that doesn't happen, Like, 500 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: how do you explain that night that Kobe just goes 501 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 1: for sixty and see him unbelievable? I mean to me, 502 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 1: you know, I played again, you know, Shack and Timmy 503 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,679 Speaker 1: d and all the great players. To me, Kobe was 504 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: the greatest in his prime that that I faced. And 505 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: I always always tell the story when when we played 506 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,199 Speaker 1: in La, I think it was all six or seven. 507 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 1: He scored sixty three to three quarters and we as 508 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: a team scored sixty two, and he outscored us by himself, 509 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 1: And I mean there was nothing we could do that night. 510 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: He shot floaters, he was on the break, one on four, 511 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 1: he was laying us, he was fade away. There was 512 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: one time we got stuck in the corner and and 513 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: the shock cluck was going down, so he just turned 514 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: over and shot at three out of the corner with 515 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: the left bottoms, And like, there was nothing that night 516 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: because he his his his killer mentality is letticism, and 517 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 1: his good level was just elite. Everything the whole package 518 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: was elite. So that was just nothing we could do 519 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 1: with him. So to come back to his final game, 520 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: it didn't surprise me. I've watched this man more than 521 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: probably anybody else while I was in my in the NBA. 522 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 1: Always try to catch his fourth quarter somewhere in La. 523 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,479 Speaker 1: You know, before I go to bed, I'm like, oh, 524 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: Kobe's playing the home game in the in stables. I 525 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: gotta tune in something that's about to happen. So I 526 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 1: never made it a big secret. I was I was 527 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: a big admirer and a big fan from Afar and 528 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 1: I had a huge amount of respect. So that to 529 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: score sixteen in this final game, I don't think anybody 530 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: was surprised. And then he scores eighty one. Is somebody 531 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: going to score one hundred in a game? I mean, 532 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: it's it's going to be tough. I mean, if if 533 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: somebody's going to do it, it's going to be in 534 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: a nowadays game, you know, not in in the nineties 535 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: it was pretty much impossible with the physical style. But 536 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: now the scoring us up and the court is way 537 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: more open, and so I mean, if somebody can do it, 538 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: it'll be now But I mean it's I don't see it, 539 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 1: but you know, you never say never. You know, the 540 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: records always there to be broken. But we'll see what happens. 541 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: But it's actually funny when Kobe had sixty three on us, 542 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,239 Speaker 1: he didn't play the whole fourth quarter because they were 543 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: up twenty twenty five. And then a couple of weeks 544 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: later against Toronto he had to play the whole game 545 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: and he got eighty one up. I for sure, I 546 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: think if you would have played on us the whole game, 547 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: he would have easily scored eighty eighty five. I mean 548 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 1: that's how he was. He was going nuts and so 549 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: that's that's the type of role he was on in 550 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 1: that in that couple of weeks stretch, and it was 551 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: it was unbelievable. But can you You're born, obviously with 552 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 1: certain traits characteristics, certain players have. Michael Jordan had that 553 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to kill you, Kobe had that I'm going 554 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: to kill you. Can you can you acquire that? Like 555 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: if you look at that and go, I need to 556 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: have more of that in my game. Can can you 557 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: put killer instinct assassin into your game? Ah? That is 558 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: that is a tough question. I think you can work 559 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: on certain stuff you can work on for sure. The 560 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: mental aspect of the game. I'm not sure all of 561 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: a sudden you can turn into MJ or Tobe. But 562 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: I do think the mental part is huge. It's huge. Now. 563 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: I think we learned so much about a but your 564 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: mental approach to the game the last twenty thirty years. 565 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: You know, we didn't know much back in the days. 566 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: We didn't know much about nutrition. When I first got 567 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: in the nineties, we were eating burgers pregame. We were 568 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: you know, we were doing all sorts of stuff, and 569 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: nobody really trained their mind and their brain. And now 570 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: now the last twenty years, I think we know so 571 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: much more, and all these athletes now are like vegan 572 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: and have mental trainers and coaches, and so I think 573 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: that's that's definitely an era, an area where you can 574 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: work on and improve. But I'm not sure you can 575 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: turn into into Michael Jordan. I think that that's something 576 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: he was was born with. But I don't know, if 577 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: you know, when the Miami Heat and Wade and Lebron 578 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: sort of mocked you for coughing, if you and your mind, like, 579 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: do you turn something on and use that against them 580 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: in the NBA Finals? Not really. You know, at the 581 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: time when I saw the video, we were up three 582 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: two and we're going to Miami, and so we're literally 583 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,479 Speaker 1: one game away from my dream that I've been chasing for. 584 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: I was the league, I think eleven years already, and 585 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: I always felt short. So you know, if anything I 586 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: told the team, I said, let's stick together and let's 587 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: let's close this out. And then the funny thing in 588 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: Game six, then maybe I was pressing even too hard. 589 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: I think I don't know if you remember, but at 590 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: halftime of Game six of US one for twelve, probably 591 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: one of the worst performances of anybody in a half 592 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: in a finals game. And it took me a little bit. 593 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if I was too hype. I one 594 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: of the four things. Uh maybe with the whole market thing, 595 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: you know, I try to force it even more and 596 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: things were just not happening. But second half I was 597 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: I was able to slow down a little bit and 598 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: let the game come to me a little more and 599 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: we ended up winning a game six, So that was 600 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: that was probably one of the worst halves ever played 601 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: by somebody in the finals. Do you hold any grudges 602 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: with anybody, No, not at all. I think, you know, 603 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: I think it's normal when you're in the league and 604 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: you're competing at the highest level every night to not 605 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: be friendly with everybody. You know. I think there were 606 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 1: some guys that got along a little better. There's some 607 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 1: guys that we didn't really talk much. But I think 608 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: that's part of being a competitor. But also, you know, 609 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: once my career is over, now, you know, I made 610 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: peace of everybody, and I don't have any hard feelings. 611 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 1: I doubt there's a lot of guys that have hard 612 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: feelings towards me. So it's just I try to compete 613 00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: or try to win, and then you know, you know, 614 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: now it's over. It's we all had a good time. 615 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: You want to coach, be a GM. You know, I'm 616 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: not really sure what the future brings. Honestly, I've been 617 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: enjoying traveling matchill. We have three young kids and enjoying 618 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: being home and traveling with them a lot. And I 619 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 1: do some advising for the maps at the moment, and 620 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: to do other things, learn about business side, and you know, 621 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: we still have I have two foundations, one in Germany 622 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: one here in the US, so I stay busy. But 623 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,959 Speaker 1: you know, we'll see what the future brings. I'm not 624 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: a coach. I would say that's that's not my mentality 625 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 1: to stand there and motivate guys and whole big speeches. 626 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: That was never my thing. Even while I played. I 627 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: was more of the guy that led by example. I 628 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: never wanted to stand in front of the team and talk. 629 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,959 Speaker 1: So I don't think that's my my DNA. But you know, 630 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: maybe some front office stuff in the future, but well, 631 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. I think it's it's a little 632 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 1: too early for me, I baring my time with the 633 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: family for now. If I said describe Luca don Check 634 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: to people who've never seen him play, how would you 635 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 1: describe him? I mean, honestly, he's a complete package. He's 636 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 1: a big guards, He's got everything in his game and 637 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: offensively that you would hope for. I mean, he's he 638 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: can break you down off the dribble. He's not the 639 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 1: fastest guy. He's a big guy, six to nine, big guy, 640 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: but you know, can have sets the skills as the strength, 641 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,240 Speaker 1: can go buy anybody once he has on his button 642 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 1: on his shoulder. He's so strong he just can move anybody. 643 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: And he's got the big shop mentality. He's got the 644 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 1: confidence that take the over in big moments so he 645 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: can post. He worked on his sloater the last couple 646 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: of years, so now he's got the in between game. 647 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,800 Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, he is as full of the package 648 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: as a twenty three year old as I've seen. Because 649 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: usually you know, it's how he reached the game, how 650 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: he reached the pick and roll situation, how he passed 651 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: the ball. Usually, I think you developed that more as 652 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,320 Speaker 1: you get more experienced. This kid came in at twenty 653 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: nineteen twenty years old, and the way he saw the 654 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 1: game was it was something I've never seen in my career. 655 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: So where we're so happy he's he's playing for the Males. 656 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,760 Speaker 1: Of course, were you ever called for an offensive foul 657 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: when you would do your little step back and put 658 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 1: your knee into somebody's groin? Not not when I shot it, 659 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: but sometimes I got it when I try to create 660 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: space and somebody was really on me and I really 661 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 1: try to put my shoulder down and create that little 662 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 1: bit of you know, separation that I needed. I think, 663 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 1: especially later in my career, when guys knew that was coming, 664 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 1: I didn't really I couldn't really drive, so they were 665 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,319 Speaker 1: really up on my shoulder. And then when I did 666 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: try to lower it a little bit, I think that's 667 00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 1: when I got some offensive foul. But once I got 668 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 1: the little separate and I was leaving you back, I 669 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 1: don't think I ever got got that call. That's no 670 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 1: offensive album. Yeah you were. You were using your leg 671 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 1: as a weapon, Dirk, I mean a little bit. But 672 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,360 Speaker 1: like I said that, you first you first create the 673 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:18,359 Speaker 1: separation with backing somebody down, and then once you take 674 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,760 Speaker 1: a step back, you know it's not like I bumped 675 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,399 Speaker 1: and then immediately shot. I did step back from from 676 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: a little from one foot to the other, from the 677 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,840 Speaker 1: right leg to the left, and that is already creating 678 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:34,439 Speaker 1: enough separation to raise the knee up. So I never 679 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,840 Speaker 1: really need anybody in the growing or in other areas 680 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 1: during that shot. That never really happened. Has Mark Cuban 681 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 1: ever been the best shooter on the team? Never? He 682 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,319 Speaker 1: I think in his his his mind, he believes he was, 683 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 1: but honestly, he's uh. He played a little bit, obviously 684 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 1: as a hobby, and he's got a little stroke, but 685 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 1: it's it's a suit for super slow, slow release. But 686 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,319 Speaker 1: you know, he was, He's just a super family were 687 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,359 Speaker 1: first when he bought the team. We used to play 688 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 1: one on one and shooting games after practice all the time, 689 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,279 Speaker 1: and that's the kind of relationship we had. And so 690 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 1: he's been sort of a mentor and and obviously a 691 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,920 Speaker 1: good friend of mine for a long long time. So 692 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 1: I do owe him a lot. Thanks for opening up 693 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,799 Speaker 1: the scrapbook. We appreciate you telling stories there, Dirk.
