Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour. In this Thursday, Reggie Miller stops
Speaker 1: by get his thoughts on who he thinks will win
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals. We've been asking who are you rooting for?
Speaker 1: Let's say you don't have a team in the NBA Finals,
Speaker 1: Celtics of the Warriors, but who are you rooting for? Setan?
Speaker 1: Would you update the poll results? Sure, Ken, Dan, Right
Speaker 1: now we have fifty seven percent. Actually now it's up
Speaker 1: to fifty nine percent rooting for the Warriors. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, we threw up another one too. Oh it's
Speaker 1: kind of out of nowhere. But your Desert Island box
Speaker 1: set would be you could choose from the Wire or
Speaker 1: the Sopranos. Oh, I guess I would do the Sopranos
Speaker 1: since I haven't watched the Sopranos. I finally got around
Speaker 1: to watching the Wire. Yeah. See, I remember going through
Speaker 1: seasons of the Wire and excuse me of this Pranos
Speaker 1: and people being very frustrated with the series, like being like,
Speaker 1: we did you just go somewhere do something that felt
Speaker 1: like there were seasons where they just sort of were
Speaker 1: treading water. Yeah. I never I never saw an episode. Yeah, po,
Speaker 1: no spoilers, Dan, but you're never gonna watch it. The
Speaker 1: final season the Sopranos, Tony Soprano gets or second of
Speaker 1: final season. I think it is he gets shot. He's
Speaker 1: in a coma for two episodes, and there's basically two
Speaker 1: episodes that are basically dream sequences. There were some anchor
Speaker 1: around those. It felt like a big waste of time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's It's weird how we love a series and then
Speaker 1: we turn on the series like after a while, you're
Speaker 1: only I don't like it anymore. I'm not gonna watch it.
Speaker 1: Oh they introduce a stupid character. Yeah. More. I think
Speaker 1: we're the worst as as a society when we say, oh,
Speaker 1: you guys are late to that. Like season two of
Speaker 1: The Wire. I watched it met three times, but it
Speaker 1: leads to what happened season three in season four and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I see what you did there, David Simon, Yes, yeah.
Speaker 1: Season two of The Wire is probably the biggest in
Speaker 1: TV history because they had this show that's all about
Speaker 1: the cops and the courts and the drug dealers, and
Speaker 1: season two they go all right, we're gonna move it
Speaker 1: all down to the docks and remove basically three or
Speaker 1: four of our top characters from season one. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was wild. It was like it didn't feel like the
Speaker 1: same show for the first couple episodes. Yeah, but it
Speaker 1: all tied in, and that's what was brilliant about it.
Speaker 1: You know, you had the school systems, you had the docks,
Speaker 1: you had inner City, you had drugs, and somehow they
Speaker 1: made all of that work. But twenty years ago today
Speaker 1: is when we were introduced to The Wire. I was
Speaker 1: surprised the number of British actors and that might have
Speaker 1: been the first show that had so many British actors.
Speaker 1: And you've got to come in and you have to
Speaker 1: have a Baltimore accent. And now it feels like it's commonplace.
Speaker 1: When you hear somebody outside of the role that they're in,
Speaker 1: you go, oh, that person's English. Idris Elbow like Stringer
Speaker 1: Bell and you're going and he's English. And it felt
Speaker 1: like there were five or six of the actors in there,
Speaker 1: and you're going, wow, that's impressive. Yeah. Point well, it's
Speaker 1: really weird is when Adres Elba Stringer Bell, a tough
Speaker 1: drug dealer, ended up on the office for a few
Speaker 1: episodes of ever Where he's Michael. He's Michael Scott's boss
Speaker 1: from corporate and everyone's google over him. Yeah, so very weird. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I don't know when it comes to an accent
Speaker 1: like that. I remember asking Keith Urban about having an
Speaker 1: Australian accent, but when he sings country songs there's no
Speaker 1: accent whatsoever. And he said, you know, the Beatles, when
Speaker 1: they sang they didn't have accents, but when you talk
Speaker 1: to them, you know you hear those accents. It's the
Speaker 1: ability to be able to sing using your voice in
Speaker 1: a different way. But as an actor, are you doing
Speaker 1: the same thing. I was always curious about. Sometimes you
Speaker 1: hear somebody they go, wow, you know the woman who
Speaker 1: is on Yellowstone, she's English, but you never know that
Speaker 1: when you watch her on yellow Stone, they just you're like, wow,
Speaker 1: that's a pronounced accent. And then when they're in these roles,
Speaker 1: I still go back to when Sandler goes, um, hey, uh,
Speaker 1: what was Zohan? He wanted me to be in Zohan?
Speaker 1: And uh, he says, I want you to be a
Speaker 1: Middle Eastern taxi driver. He goes, can you can you
Speaker 1: do an accent? I go, you're just telling me this
Speaker 1: and you want me to be out there in a week.
Speaker 1: I go, no, I can't do that. So Rob Schneider
Speaker 1: got that role. And then when I was doing I
Speaker 1: now pronounce you, Chuck and Larry, it's supposed to be
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn. And then we had Um Sandler and Kevin James.
Speaker 1: Kevin James who at the time we didn't get along
Speaker 1: with each other, but we just shoot the rehearsal and
Speaker 1: Kevin James goes, yeah, it'd be nice if you had
Speaker 1: a Brooklyn accent. I go, wow, okay, I you know,
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. We look for an authentic is
Speaker 1: that right, authentification? Authenticity? There you go. We'll go with
Speaker 1: that too with with the Sandler movie, Like you know,
Speaker 1: that's uh, you're not following the guidelines for great acting here.
Speaker 1: You should have a Brooklyn accent. And I was like, uh, no,
Speaker 1: I don't have a Brooklyn accent. And I don't want
Speaker 1: to pretend to have a Brooklyn accent because that'll make
Speaker 1: it even worse. Yeah, Paul, it's always more weird when
Speaker 1: there's a movie and the actor just doesn't do the accent,
Speaker 1: like he just doesn't go with it, like like Sean
Speaker 1: Connery and for Red October. I'm like, I'm not sure
Speaker 1: what his accent. He didn't care. He's supposed to be Russian. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he sounded Scottish to me. Yes, he sounded like himself.
Speaker 1: It's like, I'm not gonna mess with an accent here.
Speaker 1: I'm Sean Connery all right. Eight seven seven three d
Speaker 1: P Show email Andre stp of Dan Patrick dot com
Speaker 1: Twitter handle. A DP show match was fun last night.
Speaker 1: I watched a lot of it, A little bit trash talking,
Speaker 1: some bad golf, some good golf, some clutch golf. I
Speaker 1: like it, but having that clutch gene, and it's not
Speaker 1: just where you go. Well, that quarterback Scott you know
Speaker 1: he's clutch. You can tell Aaron Rodgers wanted a show. Everybody,
Speaker 1: Oh need me to win? I can do it right
Speaker 1: there in front of Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes and
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. I like it felt like every time Tom
Speaker 1: Brady asked Aaron Rodgers to help him with a putt,
Speaker 1: Brady never made it, and then I thought, it's Rogers
Speaker 1: doing this just so Rogers can look better, or Tom's
Speaker 1: gonna look bad there. They ended up winning on the
Speaker 1: last hole, but it was fun. No Mahomes was good.
Speaker 1: Barkley was a lot of fun made for TV and
Speaker 1: I got a big kick out of it. Kyle in
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania on that topic, Hi, Kyle, what's on your mind?
Speaker 1: Hey DP, Hey boys, Yeah, speaking of the match last night,
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. There was an interview afterwards with
Speaker 1: the four quarterbacks. Ernie and Johnson was talking to them,
Speaker 1: asking them a bunch of softball questions, and somehow the
Speaker 1: topic of Brady's contract came up and he walked right
Speaker 1: into it. He said, Oh, I'm just looking forward to
Speaker 1: the opportunity to use my knowledge and give back to
Speaker 1: the game that's given me so much. And Rogers leans
Speaker 1: over and goes, you ever been paid so much to
Speaker 1: give back them? You got to find the video was awesome,
Speaker 1: great show boys, Love you all right? Thank you, Kyle. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if we can look for that post match interview. Adam
Speaker 1: in Indiana, Hi, Adam, what do you have for me? Hey? Dan?
Speaker 1: Six foot seventy father. I just wanted to give a
Speaker 1: shout out to Todd today. And I'm a social worker
Speaker 1: in Indiana and a lot of the clients I work
Speaker 1: with we look at the strength perspective and people have
Speaker 1: just a fear of failure. And I'm just really impressed
Speaker 1: with Todd that he always gives his best effort despite
Speaker 1: what the reaction could be. So I just wanted to
Speaker 1: give a shout out to him today. All Right, he
Speaker 1: should have more fear of failure. That's a little fleming. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was very nice thing. Yeah, but you should have
Speaker 1: just a little more fear of failure, maybe just a little.
Speaker 1: That's a little mean, just no, no, don't But if
Speaker 1: you're squashing my creativity, although you ultimately how do I
Speaker 1: squash your creativity? And you pretty much let me do
Speaker 1: whatever I write basically make it on their thanks to you,
Speaker 1: or else you would have said, no, that's not gonna work. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just like I have a little bit of fear
Speaker 1: of failure all the time. Every day, no matter what
Speaker 1: I'm doing, there's a little bit of fear of failure.
Speaker 1: And and sometimes that's good. Where you go no, maybe not,
Speaker 1: maybe don't say that, maybe don't do that. You I
Speaker 1: don't know. My fear of failure is more like at home,
Speaker 1: like on a Friday night and the lights are dim
Speaker 1: most on ipanic a little bit. It's like, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe we do this on Saturday. What do you mean,
Speaker 1: do what go to Applebee's because you're the one determining
Speaker 1: when that happens. That's true. I have no shout yeah exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And if you put it off, then it's never gonna happen. You.
Speaker 1: If you know it's not gonna happen, that's when you say, hey,
Speaker 1: maybe Saturday could be weeks Oh oh boy? Yeah, you
Speaker 1: do share? You share too much? You do you do?
Speaker 1: You do you comfortable people? Yeah? For us, yes, I'm
Speaker 1: telling you it's uncomfortable. Jesse in La Hi, Jess ADP.
Speaker 1: Thanks for taking my call as always. Sure, Hey, I've
Speaker 1: been catching up this class weeks because of a vacation,
Speaker 1: but today's my first live show and as you might tell,
Speaker 1: I'm thrilled on the pollut question wire hands down. I
Speaker 1: got Celtics in six. But I was just gonna say, Todd,
Speaker 1: because you're having such a great anniversary day so far,
Speaker 1: I figured I would ask Dan for the potential Karen
Speaker 1: Fritzie T shirt instead of his balled ahead on display.
Speaker 1: Can we get the typical heron care placed on him
Speaker 1: for the final production of this We have already discussed that, Jesse.
Speaker 1: Thank you. We had a caller referred to Fritzie as
Speaker 1: a Karen. Fritzie Fritzie is a Karen. I'm gonna lightly
Speaker 1: debunk it because Fritzie does not like confrontation. He does
Speaker 1: not look for confrontation. He does lose his cool when
Speaker 1: little things bother him. So it's kind of a little
Speaker 1: bit of both. Yeah, but you know, go back to
Speaker 1: the onion bagel. Yeah, where you had the high school
Speaker 1: student in the drive through and then Todd found out
Speaker 1: that they didn't have onion bagels. I slipped a little
Speaker 1: bit that was not my real character, but that sounded karenish.
Speaker 1: That was a little karenish. Yeah, But like I like
Speaker 1: the person that you know, congratulates people, thanks people for
Speaker 1: extra effort. You know, Fritzie still wants to do the
Speaker 1: suggestion box. He said that to me yesterday, and I said, Todd,
Speaker 1: we've we've been down this road. We don't need to
Speaker 1: do a suggestion box. I know what your penmanship looks like,
Speaker 1: Like I would know who everybody is. But if you
Speaker 1: cut the words out like a massive murder with all
Speaker 1: you cut the words out of like a magazine, and
Speaker 1: then you don't know what the hand right, Yes, they
Speaker 1: would still be you yes, Marv, but we would know
Speaker 1: who it was when all the letters are cut out
Speaker 1: and says no more limericks like oh from Paul, I
Speaker 1: mean Marvin. Yeah. Yeah, that's the ultimate passive aggressive when
Speaker 1: you're just you don't want to say that anybody just
Speaker 1: kind of put it in a box and have them
Speaker 1: figure out who it's from. That. Yeah, but that's what
Speaker 1: you wanted. Looking back on that, that's really silly and
Speaker 1: ill advised. I must have been really angry about something
Speaker 1: at that moment that I didn't feel comfortable, you know,
Speaker 1: having a face to face confrontation about it. And then
Speaker 1: it became that by the way, over under draft Kings.
Speaker 1: Who has more points tonight? Jason Tatum, Steph Curry the
Speaker 1: over under Jason Tatum over under twenty eight and a half,
Speaker 1: Steph Curry over under twenty seven and a half, Jayalen
Speaker 1: Brown over under twenty four and a half, Clay Thompson
Speaker 1: over under is twenty and a half. Warriors your favorite
Speaker 1: by three in Game one, I mentioned in the first
Speaker 1: hour of the show case, you're just joining us that,
Speaker 1: you know, we talk about experience in the finals, or
Speaker 1: we play up that you got experience and the Warriors
Speaker 1: certainly have experienced. Their coach has experience. But when they've
Speaker 1: lost in the finals, they lost to two teams that
Speaker 1: had rookie head coaches. They lost to Nick Nurse Toronto Raptors,
Speaker 1: and they lost to Tylu Cleveland Cavaliers. It may Eudoka
Speaker 1: is a rookie coach with the Boston Celtics. Just file
Speaker 1: that away. It may not matter. But you know, I
Speaker 1: think the experience, it's not like you're showing up at
Speaker 1: a venue that you haven't been at before. You know,
Speaker 1: Final four. You could show up and you haven't played
Speaker 1: in that building, or maybe it's a football stadium that
Speaker 1: they've turned into a basketball arena. Then then it's different.
Speaker 1: Then there's a wide eyed wonderment. They played in San Francisco,
Speaker 1: they played against the Warriors. Yeah, Poe with our poll question,
Speaker 1: I think the Celtics aren't winning the poll question because
Speaker 1: they don't feel like an underdog historically because of the
Speaker 1: Boston Celtics. But they you know, in the past fifteen years,
Speaker 1: they've had two great years and one title in the
Speaker 1: last twenty six years. Yeah maybe thirty yeah, yeah more Yeah,
Speaker 1: most dramatic one title team ever. The always helps Wow,
Speaker 1: but that's either here nor that that is true with
Speaker 1: just one. You know, the eighty five Bears had a
Speaker 1: lot of drama to them for one title. Yeah, Reggie

Speaker 1: is retiring? They're going to sign a one day contract
Speaker 1: with San Francisco Hall of Famer, although that doesn't come
Speaker 1: to mind when I say his name, surefire hall of Famer. Ah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: one day, one day contract. He played and I think
Speaker 1: five Pro Bowls, a third round draft pick, and this
Speaker 1: will give it away. He ended his career with exactly
Speaker 1: sixteen thousand rushing yards. Franklin Gore, Yes, yeah, so he's
Speaker 1: behind Emmett Smith and Walter Payton. Frank Gore ended with
Speaker 1: sixteen thousand yards, right at sixteen thousand. That's great, though,
Speaker 1: can you imagine if it's fifteen thousand, nine hundred ninety nine.
Speaker 1: I'd have to get one more carried there? That one
Speaker 1: day contract? Yeah, yeah, the one day contract. Reggie Miller
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, Turners Sports, NBA, Anlans joining us on
Speaker 1: the program, Regge, how are you I'm doing great? First
Speaker 1: of all, hold on, Paully, did you just say in question,
Speaker 1: first ballot Hall of Famer sixteen thousand yards? Seriously Paully, yes,
Speaker 1: first balloin easy? Would that be like an NBA player
Speaker 1: averaging sixteen points a game for twenty years, or is
Speaker 1: that better than that? He's an If you average sixteen
Speaker 1: points for twenty years, yeah, you should be in the
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. Consistency. Really, it's Joe Johnson a Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer. No, but he didn't have he sixteen points
Speaker 1: for twenty years. Well, but he averaged what Joe Johnson
Speaker 1: average for how many years? Sixteen years? No, no way,
Speaker 1: he ever sixteen points for sixteen years? Right, what do
Speaker 1: you got, Pollie, Joe Johnson in twenty NBA season's average
Speaker 1: exactly sixteen points per game. Hold on, hold on, hold on,
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, no, no, but here ended out of
Speaker 1: the league those twenty years, like he signed with Boston
Speaker 1: as like a COVID replacement and he stayed on. But
Speaker 1: he's averaging sixteen points for twenty years. You didn't average
Speaker 1: twenty every year? No, but I average nineteen point nine
Speaker 1: nine nine eighteen. Although I want to get to some
Speaker 1: housekeeping first before we before we preview the finals. Number one,
Speaker 1: I've known you, Theodore for over twenty five years, close
Speaker 1: to thirty years, and Fritzie, you've been a big part
Speaker 1: of that. So congratulations on that because I know it's
Speaker 1: the twenty year anniversary of YouTube. Fritzie, You've been a big, big,
Speaker 1: huge part of that, so that is awesome. And I
Speaker 1: want to go back to Game seven of that Boston
Speaker 1: versus Miami series, Theodore, you want to do the Jimmy
Speaker 1: Butler shot. Yes, because I've been reading stuff on Twitter,
Speaker 1: looking at the you know, the sports radio punden's talk,
Speaker 1: and I've been growing angry at this, So please interject
Speaker 1: all you want. I'm going to give you the psychology
Speaker 1: of what goes into that shot and why Jimmy Butler
Speaker 1: took that three as opposed to maybe driving and getting
Speaker 1: fouled or scoring a two to tie it and potentially
Speaker 1: take it to overtime. As a scorer a leader, they're
Speaker 1: in They're only in that position because of Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 1: Agree or disagree, Okay, they were down fifteen points. They
Speaker 1: had scored thirteen points in a matter of a minute
Speaker 1: and a half to close within two. So they were
Speaker 1: completely gassed just to get into that ball game. Now,
Speaker 1: if I'm Jimmy Butler, I am assessing this in real time.
Speaker 1: By the way, because I'm the man, I've got to
Speaker 1: look at the eyes of my teammates, Do I think
Speaker 1: we have enough if this was to go into overtime. Now,
Speaker 1: remember you're processing information like this, and when he gets
Speaker 1: the ball the rebound and he goes coast to coast,
Speaker 1: this is what he's thinking. I easily probably could have
Speaker 1: drove on Al Horford, who's a great defender, who's been
Speaker 1: an All NBA defender, who can guard shooting guards and
Speaker 1: point guards. Or I can pull up for this three,
Speaker 1: potentially go up one and put the pressure on them
Speaker 1: to score or whatever to take the lead. For people
Speaker 1: who have never laced up a shoe bounced the ball,
Speaker 1: for them to say that's a bad shot, it just
Speaker 1: lets you know what idiots they are you Now again,
Speaker 1: I will say this at home. Most of the time,
Speaker 1: you go for a tie and take it to overtime
Speaker 1: and let the crowd that will kind of fuel you.
Speaker 1: But in this particular instance, the heat had expended so
Speaker 1: much energy just to get back in the ball game.
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking, personally, there's no way they would have
Speaker 1: had enough to hold off Boston if it was to
Speaker 1: go to overtime. If you would have score two points
Speaker 1: foul and they would have went to overtime. I don't
Speaker 1: think they would have wanted that game. In overtime. You
Speaker 1: go for the kill shot when you have the moment.
Speaker 1: The kill shot was the three. It was a clear three,
Speaker 1: and I know his statistics aren't great, but I would
Speaker 1: live and die with Kevin Durant, Lebron James, Jimmy Butler,
Speaker 1: Stephan Curry, Clay Thompson, whomever, Jason Tatum, Jaylen Brown. I
Speaker 1: would live and die with those guys taking a kill
Speaker 1: shot knowing all the circumstances that I just kind of
Speaker 1: told you. That's why I think that's a great shot.
Speaker 1: For people to say that was a bad shot. You
Speaker 1: got to assess everything in real time as it's going.
Speaker 1: People don't understand that and the pressure that goes into that.
Speaker 1: I thought and think that was a great decision by
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler, go for the kill shot because you had
Speaker 1: nothing left if you miss it. We know they're on
Speaker 1: vacation right now. If you may get we're setting up
Speaker 1: a preview of them versus Golden State in the finals.
Speaker 1: That's my take on it. Being in that position over
Speaker 1: up a jillion times, nineteen point nine points over eighteen years,
Speaker 1: you know that's why I come up with that point
Speaker 1: and look exactly you've been in the moment, so you
Speaker 1: speak from experience. But I wanted you taking the shot
Speaker 1: with Jimmy Butler. He can beat Al Horford off the dribble.
Speaker 1: If you get a pull up jumper, you're gonna you're
Speaker 1: gonna get that shot off. I thought Jimmy Butler was
Speaker 1: going to do a hesitation blow by him. Now it's tied,
Speaker 1: Celtics call a time out. Crowd's going crazy. Let's go
Speaker 1: over here, let's get ready. You know we're gonna put
Speaker 1: the pressure on them. If he misses the shot, then
Speaker 1: it's over. I thought it extended just a little bit.
Speaker 1: Now I'm going to put pressure on a rookie coach
Speaker 1: in the moment. Is Jason Tatum gonna step up? Who's
Speaker 1: gonna step up? And if we don't, we go into
Speaker 1: overtime on our home floor. We'll get some energy from
Speaker 1: the fans. Jimmy looked good with the shot as well,
Speaker 1: redch like. It wasn't an awkward ship, it wasn't no
Speaker 1: and he had space to shoot it. Yes, all valid
Speaker 1: points you set up. My only thing is when you
Speaker 1: say blow by Al Horford, Al's backing up. He's on
Speaker 1: his heels. Wrench. Al Horford is a great defense on
Speaker 1: his heel, he's backing up. He's on an island. Jimmy
Speaker 1: Butler is gonna blow up, which is why it was
Speaker 1: a walk in three. It was a walk in three
Speaker 1: for Jimmy Butler. I get your valid takes, but I
Speaker 1: don't think they had enough in the tank. If he
Speaker 1: gets by, blows by a Al Horford ties it up
Speaker 1: or gets fouled, makes two free throws and they go
Speaker 1: to overtime. I don't think the juice of that building
Speaker 1: because they were a one man band the last two games.
Speaker 1: They really were Lowry Lowry played well. Yes, the last
Speaker 1: two games. Yes, yeah, But but you're right. I mean
Speaker 1: that that team healthy gets to the finals. In my opinion,
Speaker 1: I agree. But you know, Bam out of Bio is
Speaker 1: a guy. Why are we always surprised when Bam out
Speaker 1: of Bio has a good game, Like we're like, hey,
Speaker 1: Bam went for twenty six and nine. He should be
Speaker 1: going for these numbers. You Duncan Robinson, where are you? Yeah? Well,
Speaker 1: Duncan Robinson, it was all about Max Strews. Duncan Robinson
Speaker 1: never played at all. I think the second half of
Speaker 1: the season crazy. Should they have reviewed that three pointer
Speaker 1: by Strews? Did his feet actually touch it? I thought
Speaker 1: he pulled to Sean Elliott, I thought he was huvering
Speaker 1: over it. Look, that's the age of Well they had
Speaker 1: to see enough to overturn it. But my problem is
Speaker 1: there has to be a time limit on when you
Speaker 1: can review something. I agree, I think too much time
Speaker 1: had gone by. Yes, yeah, there were so many possessions.
Speaker 1: They went to time out, and when they came out
Speaker 1: of time out, Bangundhi was explaining, whoa, that's a big play.
Speaker 1: They took that three off by Shrews. I mean, things
Speaker 1: like that matter in the big picture when it comes
Speaker 1: down to closing time. We're talking to Reggie Miller. Much
Speaker 1: has been made of the Warrior's experience or the Celtics
Speaker 1: lack thereof getting into the NBA Finals, And the point
Speaker 1: I've made is, you know, you had two rookie coaches
Speaker 1: who beat the Warriors. Tyler did and Nick Nurse did,
Speaker 1: and Yudoka's a rookie coach, so like does it not
Speaker 1: factor in with a coach, but it does with the players.
Speaker 1: As far as experience or lack there. It's not like
Speaker 1: you're playing on a neutral site and you're in March
Speaker 1: madness and you go, oh, we're playing in the Metrodome.
Speaker 1: We've never played here. Now I'm worried about the shooting background.
Speaker 1: They played Golden State. They've been in that building before. Like,
Speaker 1: what is it about you get into an NBA finals?
Speaker 1: Was it that much different for you? And did experience
Speaker 1: or lack thereof hurt you? Guys? Experience always matters and
Speaker 1: it helps, especially the later a series goes. As for coaches,
Speaker 1: and I think you and I have talked about this
Speaker 1: many times before. Head coaches and coaching in general only
Speaker 1: matters this time of year in professional ranks in professional
Speaker 1: basketball because it's game by game adjustments and you really
Speaker 1: can see who can coach and who can't, and it
Speaker 1: will matter the longer this Warrior's Celtics series goes. But
Speaker 1: I kind of someone harkened back. If you're talking about
Speaker 1: a rookie coach in ema Udoka, let's just set up
Speaker 1: where he is now. They play hard the last game
Speaker 1: of the year to get that number two spot. Where
Speaker 1: Milwaukee could have played and got that number two spot
Speaker 1: and had home quote advantage and we'll fast forward to that.
Speaker 1: So they say, okay, well the number two spot and
Speaker 1: have to face Brooklyn. When everyone was like, oh, no
Speaker 1: one wants to play Brooklyn, Kevin Durant, Kyrie. No one
Speaker 1: wants to see the Brooklyn. Next. What did they do?
Speaker 1: They sweep them? Oh up next the World Champs. Oh well,
Speaker 1: that's different from the Brooklyn and KaDee. You got Janni's
Speaker 1: coming in here. Down three. Two have to go to
Speaker 1: Milwaukee and win a game on the road. They do that,
Speaker 1: come home and blow out the World Champs in the
Speaker 1: second half to defeat Milwaukee, and then you've got the
Speaker 1: number one seed, probably the hardest working organization culture wise
Speaker 1: in Miami, and they dust them off. That's why at
Speaker 1: this point I'm taking the rookie chains off of email Udoka,
Speaker 1: because are you picking Boston. Here's the problem I have
Speaker 1: in my household, Theodore, my son's favorite player is Stephen Curry,
Speaker 1: and it's everything around here is Warriors staff is as
Speaker 1: staff staff. I'm yelling at him to stop in the backyard,
Speaker 1: stop shooting thirty footers and layoffs. Stop it. You're not
Speaker 1: Stephen Curry. He got a chance to meet step for
Speaker 1: the first time at All Star weekend and it was
Speaker 1: the thrill of his life. So in this household, we're,
Speaker 1: you know, we him it's the Warriors. We're pulling for
Speaker 1: the Warriors. But my fiber everything is having me point
Speaker 1: towards Boston and winning this in seven. It really does because, well,
Speaker 1: you can say it to me. Your son is at school,
Speaker 1: so he's not hearing this. You're good like this is
Speaker 1: this is a safe space right here. This is it. Okay.
Speaker 1: I really do believe Boston's gonna win this. Don't don't
Speaker 1: tell Riker, don't tell anyone else. This is between the
Speaker 1: dan Nettes us. All right, Boston is going to win
Speaker 1: the series. What if your son said, Dad, who's a
Speaker 1: better shooter? You or Steph Curry? I would tell him Steff?
Speaker 1: Okay would you? We're told never to lie, right, Okay.
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley was on yesterday and he said, you should
Speaker 1: work with Russell Westbrook. Could you make Russ a better shooter?
Speaker 1: I could work on his repetition, but I think Russ
Speaker 1: is who Russ is at this point in his career.
Speaker 1: But what is the flaw in that jumper? I don't
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of follow through. I think his
Speaker 1: mechanics are wrong. I think he holds the basketball in
Speaker 1: awkward positions, but that's okay because that's how he shoots.
Speaker 1: I always tell people, you shoot how you're gonna shoot.
Speaker 1: I had an awkward release. That's just they're like fingerprints,
Speaker 1: that's who you are. I would, yeah, but you made those.
Speaker 1: He doesn't make them. Therefore, I would have worked more
Speaker 1: on his repetition. I don't think he puts enough time
Speaker 1: in his shooting. Truthfully. I think he shoots up to
Speaker 1: a certain point where he feels good and that's it.
Speaker 1: You've got to shoot until you are exhausted, and then
Speaker 1: that's when the shooting starts. Yeah, that's when the shooting starts,
Speaker 1: is when you're past exhaustion. Yeah. I just wonder that
Speaker 1: you can't change him. You can't, and he is who
Speaker 1: he is and that's okay. I would just want to
Speaker 1: build on him being more consistent and having I just
Speaker 1: don't think he has confidence. I really don't. I don't
Speaker 1: think he has confidence in his shooting ability, and that's
Speaker 1: why I would want to work on getting him past
Speaker 1: exhaustion because he works so hard doing everything else in
Speaker 1: his game. He got playing hard defense, he works hard
Speaker 1: on everything else. That's where I want to get him.
Speaker 1: So when he is exhausted from doing everything else in
Speaker 1: a ballgame, he can rely on making a fifteen eighteen
Speaker 1: twenty foot jump shot. We suggest that Charles should work
Speaker 1: with Zion. That would be awesome because Moses Malone changed
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley's life. Yes, he said you're fat and you're lazy,
Speaker 1: Ye Charles words, and he lost fifty pounds and it
Speaker 1: changed Charles's life and a first ballot Hall of Famer
Speaker 1: and a top I know they said seventy five players,
Speaker 1: but Charles is in a top thirty type player at
Speaker 1: sixty four, being able to do what people want to
Speaker 1: sleep and they just think about his mouth on T
Speaker 1: and T and they forget about the basketball player. But
Speaker 1: he was pro buongs And that would be That would
Speaker 1: be a great if those two could work, because Charles
Speaker 1: would be brutally honest with Zion, because not only is
Speaker 1: it gonna be on the basketball court, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: what's going on in the kitchen too, right, like what
Speaker 1: are you putting in your mouth? Yeah? Like how your
Speaker 1: everyday twenty four hour behaviors too? And Charles would be
Speaker 1: the first to tell you he wasn't, you know, a
Speaker 1: role model, and he didn't do things by the book.
Speaker 1: But what Charles did know how to do was dominate.
Speaker 1: And after he lost those fifty sixty pounds from that
Speaker 1: slight suggestion from Moses, there's a reason why he was
Speaker 1: a surefire Hall of Famer. Yeah, I don't know. You know,
Speaker 1: it's hard because back then, if I gave you money,
Speaker 1: I might make a thirty million or twenty five million
Speaker 1: dollar mistake. If I give you two hundred and fifty million.
Speaker 1: Now he look, would you extend zion and giving the
Speaker 1: full extend. We've had this conversation before. There's no middle
Speaker 1: ground own Redge there I know. And here's the thing.
Speaker 1: He's played eighty five games over three seasons, eighty five,
Speaker 1: so the numbers are there that he's not going to
Speaker 1: be healthy. But but in being played sixty in the
Speaker 1: first three years, Philadelphia was patient with somebody who had backend,
Speaker 1: and New Orleans has been patient too. But New Orleans
Speaker 1: is ready to win. Now, that's a good young team,
Speaker 1: and I think you have to I think you have
Speaker 1: to give him that. And I never want to get
Speaker 1: in anyone else's pockets because we know, the owners are
Speaker 1: making ten times more if they want to pay him
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty millions. The owners are making and
Speaker 1: the organization is making a lot of money. But it
Speaker 1: is a small market and to commit to something like
Speaker 1: that to a guy who's only played eighty five games
Speaker 1: over the seasons is a lot. Theodore, but I think
Speaker 1: he has them. He has them over a barrel, he does. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: before I let you go, I've made a big deal
Speaker 1: about Boston built this team. You know, they signed some guy,
Speaker 1: brought some guys in, but a lot of draft picks
Speaker 1: Golden State, same way they built it. You start to
Speaker 1: look at these big free agents and money that's spent,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna bring in this guy and bring in
Speaker 1: that guy. And it hasn't worked for the most part.
Speaker 1: I mean, Anthony Davis getting traded to the Lakers. It's easy.
Speaker 1: We're a copycat league where you go, okay, that's how
Speaker 1: you build a franchise. Here. Is this just an anomaly
Speaker 1: that these two teams meeting for the championship, you know,
Speaker 1: are homegrown teams. No, because you've got to look at
Speaker 1: upper echelon leadership. Brad Stevens, who was the coach and
Speaker 1: now is the Derm manager president. And Bob Meyers a
Speaker 1: former agent who's used to scouting and evaluating talent, and
Speaker 1: as well as Red Stevens coming from Butler and knowing
Speaker 1: how to go out and recruit young players and knowing
Speaker 1: the character how things fit in our system. Both of
Speaker 1: these organizations kind of parallel one another, and it's kudos
Speaker 1: to them because it's easy to go out and give
Speaker 1: a blame check to a free agent and say they're
Speaker 1: going to change the franchise, change the fortunes of our franchise.
Speaker 1: It's not that easy. You've got to look at a character,
Speaker 1: culture of your franchise, your fan base, what type of
Speaker 1: player you're bringing in, what were some of their statistics
Speaker 1: while they were at other places. All those things have
Speaker 1: to factor in. And I applaud organizations that build from within.
Speaker 1: It's easy to go out and get the splashy free agent,
Speaker 1: and Golden State kind of did to a certain degree
Speaker 1: bringing in kd But they had already won, they already
Speaker 1: won a championship, they had won seventy two games when
Speaker 1: they brought in Kade, so that they had already built
Speaker 1: what their culture was about. And he just fit in perfectly.
Speaker 1: So I applaud teams that are building from within, because
Speaker 1: that's the only way you're really gonna win with players
Speaker 1: now that are nineteen twenty twenty one, because you don't
Speaker 1: know how they're going to pan out for your door.
Speaker 1: Celtics fans, they get a little sensitive about the number
Speaker 1: of titles they've won, number of titles the Lakers have won,
Speaker 1: and that you shouldn't include the Minneapolis Lakers in the titles.
Speaker 1: For the Los Angeles Lakers. Here's a guy, here's a
Speaker 1: guy who would would die for one and who cares?
Speaker 1: Who has seven? Are you kidding me? Stopping stop it.
Speaker 1: You're in the finals. Be happy, and you have a
Speaker 1: chance to go one up on the Lakers. You have
Speaker 1: a chance. Don't let me down. But listen, Boston fans,
Speaker 1: thank you. Tell my son, and I'm not gonna tell
Speaker 1: your son. I'm not gonna tell no one tell. I
Speaker 1: might tell your wife, but I won't tell your son.
Speaker 1: That little guy would be devastated if you said, daddy
Speaker 1: picked the Celtics are Do we have one minute? Is
Speaker 1: he there? Yes? Oh no, Red, You're gonna go get
Speaker 1: his son. This is TV debut. His son's probably a
Speaker 1: better shooter, though, leave I'll probably I know, his son's
Speaker 1: probably a better shooter than some of us in this room.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, okay, Patrick, who do you think it's gonna
Speaker 1: win between Boston and Golden State? I think Golden States
Speaker 1: can win and on because they're a good team. And
Speaker 1: who's your favorite player, Steph Curry? Is Steph Curry a
Speaker 1: better basketball player than your dad? Yeah? We raise them
Speaker 1: to tell the truth. I like that. I like that.
Speaker 1: Thank god, you look like your mother, thank God? Right? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: all right, go work on your jumper, by the way, Yeah,
Speaker 1: stop shooting the three, get some layups, mid range jumpers.
Speaker 1: All right, you know, talk to you. I'll talk to
Speaker 1: you next week. That's Reggie Aloysius miller Man his son. Okay,
Speaker 1: he paused? Is your dad better player? Yes? That's where
Speaker 1: if you're in the neighborhood you want to have like
Speaker 1: a father's son pickup game. Hey, here's Ted and his
Speaker 1: son here comes. All right, we'll close up shop after this.

Speaker 1: nice to have him on. Frank Gore is going to
Speaker 1: sign a one year deal with the Niners to retire.
Speaker 1: He ends with sixteen thousands in yards right on the button,
Speaker 1: and then we you know Reggie was like saying to PAULI,
Speaker 1: how can you say that he's not a first ballot
Speaker 1: in Hall of Famer? And then Paully goes, well, what
Speaker 1: if you know, well, I mentioned Joe Johnson. If Joe
Speaker 1: average is sixteen points for eighteen years, is he a
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer? And he goes, he'd an average sixteen points?
Speaker 1: He averaged exactly sixteen points. Stat of the day, sat
Speaker 1: the day, stat of the day. Stat of the day? Dude,
Speaker 1: come snap, what stat of the day? And I think
Speaker 1: you have to to divide this into is Frank Gore
Speaker 1: a great player or is he a great story because
Speaker 1: he was a third round pick out of the U.
Speaker 1: They think he had both knees done and he ends
Speaker 1: up with sixteen thousand yards. You can't pick out one
Speaker 1: Frank Gore run. I'm gonna guess never led the league
Speaker 1: in rushing. He just showed up every single day. Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer, first ballot, sixteen thousand yards? Sixteen thousand yards?
Speaker 1: Is Joe Johnson a Hall of Famer? I think he's
Speaker 1: like a six time I think he's a seven time
Speaker 1: All Star. Joe Johnson seven times, you're on the cusp.
Speaker 1: He's got he averaged sixteen points for about eighteen years.
Speaker 1: I don't I would say no, but yeah, more, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm with you. He's got two more All Star apparances
Speaker 1: than Reggie. But not all Star appearances are created equal. Wait,
Speaker 1: Joe Johnson has more All Star appearances than Reggie Miller.
Speaker 1: He does. Wow. But Reggie, he feels like a Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer. He feels like the guy you didn't want
Speaker 1: to face in the playoffs. Yes, here's my thing. Reggie
Speaker 1: was an All Star in nineteen ninety and in two thousand,
Speaker 1: So let me see it. All Star seasons over ten years.
Speaker 1: He's probably he's a guard in the East. So yeah,
Speaker 1: well you knew one of those spots was going to
Speaker 1: go to Mike right away. This dage sports history, Paul,
Speaker 1: he got a few. There's only a few left. Let
Speaker 1: me see it's a Franklin delan Or. Roosevelt in nineteen
Speaker 1: thirty three built a pool inside the White House. There
Speaker 1: was not before that. Okay, I like that. Can you
Speaker 1: imagine at the present, You're like, I could use a pool?
Speaker 1: No one can really tell you, no. Those construction workers
Speaker 1: are easy to get to work on that. Babe. Ruth
Speaker 1: announced his retirement at the age of forty and this
Speaker 1: is my favorite. Nineteen forty two Red Sox star Ted
Speaker 1: Williams enlists as a US Navy aviator. When he left baseball.
Speaker 1: He led the league in every single category hits, runs,
Speaker 1: home runs, walks, batting average, slugging, on base percentage. He
Speaker 1: was twenty three years old. He missed age twenty four,
Speaker 1: five and twenty six, his main prime. So imagine those
Speaker 1: stats that you could make a case he's the greatest
Speaker 1: hitter of all time. You could. And he never had
Speaker 1: any speed, so when he got hits, he got hits.
Speaker 1: He didn't lay anything out. Based off his average home runs,
Speaker 1: he would have had another hundred and five home runs
Speaker 1: he'd have been at he'd have been at six thirty. Wow,
Speaker 1: what did I learn on today's program, Todd? Besides the
Speaker 1: fact that today's not our twenty year audi versary Reggie Milliford,
Speaker 1: It was a great decision by Jimmy Butler to go
Speaker 1: for the kill shot in the final moments ours the Celtics.
