What 5 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: you saw that you liked you didn't like over the weekend. 6 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 1: Your opportunity to be part of the program, email tweet, 7 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: you can dial us up all the above. Jay billis 8 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 1: the former Dukie. He'll join us coming up at about 9 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. It was going great. Everything was great. The 10 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: big build up, you know, it's like the featured act 11 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: at Coachella and then all of a sudden it rains 12 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 1: during the performance there. It's like that put a damper 13 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: on things all day. Event. In fact, started building up 14 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: the week before Coach K's final game at Cameron Indoor. 15 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody factored in that North Carolina needing 16 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: to win, and they didn't get the script. It's all 17 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: of a sudden they're like, hey, guy, what are you 18 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: guys doing. This is Coach Kay's last game. You're ruining it. Yep, 19 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: And we loved it, So we'll talk to us about 20 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: that coming up. Combine wrapping up reports on Aaron Rodgers 21 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: options right now. I guess he's torn. That's the official word. 22 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 1: He's torn between staying in Green Bay and going someplace else. 23 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: If he says he doesn't want to stay in green Bay, 24 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily mean he gets to pick where he 25 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: wants to go. And I think people think, oh, Aaron's 26 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: a free agent. He can just say, well, I'm going 27 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: to Green Bay or I'm going to Denver. It's not 28 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: that easy. You have to trade for him, you have 29 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: to acquire him. We'll have more on that coming up 30 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 1: eight seven seven three d P Show Email on dress 31 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,199 Speaker 1: DP at Dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle it DP show, 32 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: say good Morning Peacock, our streaming partner, and also our 33 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: radio affiliates around the country, including Fox Sports Radio, Lineup, iHeartRadio, 34 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: and the other great cities. They carry this program every 35 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: single day. At age thirty seven, Lebron is still considered 36 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: an elite basketball player and at his age more susceptible 37 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: to injuries. Were to see that this year, he's almost 38 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: looking his age, but his impact on the game is 39 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: still the same. And on Saturday, Lebron went out and 40 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: scored fifty six and the Lakers went over the Warriors. 41 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: More importantly, the win snaps a four game losing streak 42 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: for the Lakers. LA can use any wins they can get. 43 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: Right now, the team is still seven games under five hundred, 44 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: but the performance reminds you of just how special Lebron is. 45 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: He's averaging over twenty nine points per game. That puts 46 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: him right behind Joe lnb for the NBA scoring title, 47 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,519 Speaker 1: and Lebron's ridiculous night made him just the fourth player 48 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: ever to score at least fifty points past the age 49 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: of thirty seven. Lebron's greatness is nothing new. He's been 50 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: doing this for almost twenty years now. That's just not normal. 51 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 1: So we might be ridiculing the Lakers and what they've 52 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: done during the regular season, but it can get lost 53 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: while we should be watching what Lebron is doing because 54 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: the last time he averaged this number of points, he 55 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: was back in his twenties. If he continues to age 56 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: like this, we may actually have a little more time 57 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: to enjoy him. And then you start looking at these 58 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: numbers of players who have scored that many points at 59 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: the age of thirty seven or older. Kobe ruined it 60 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: for everybody because he put up sixty in his last game. 61 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: That's a thirteen hundred and forty six games. Lebron has 62 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 1: played in thirteen hundred and fifty six games when he 63 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: scored his fifty six point last Saturday night. But these 64 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: are regular season games. If I tack on about two 65 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty more playoff games. So just let that 66 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: sink in. That's that's three and a half seasons of basketball, 67 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: high end basketball where he's playing forty minutes a game 68 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: like this is such an anomaly. You know, I got 69 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: to see Kareem at the latter part of his career, 70 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: Carl Malone at the latter part of his career, and 71 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: while they were still formidable presents. There what Lebron is doing. 72 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: He may lead the league in scoring at the age 73 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: of thirty seven. This is incredible what he's been able 74 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: to do. On that list of players who scored over 75 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: fifty at the age of thirty seven, you have Kobe, 76 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,679 Speaker 1: have Lebron, Jamal Crawford sneaks in there, Lebron again, Kareem, 77 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: Dirk Navitsky, Karl Malone, Lebron again, Lebron again, and our 78 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: good buddy Reggie Miller. Well, I think when you factor 79 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: in the playoff games, that's what makes this even more 80 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 1: incredible because and Lebron is really sensitive about being labeled 81 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: a score and he said this before, or not being 82 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: labeled a score, because I never looked at him as 83 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: a great shooter. He's a scorer. But when he first 84 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: came into the league, and you know, the book on 85 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: Lebron was you can give him the outside shot, don't 86 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: let him, you know, run downhill, dribble downhill. He's going 87 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: to score on you, but he's going to always set 88 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: up his teammates. And watching him once in high school 89 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: where it was Gulliver and the Little Aputians, so his 90 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 1: team it was him, and then he had a bunch 91 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: of guys who look like they're about five eight five nine. 92 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: Lebron would defer to them, he would find the open man. 93 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: I always found that remarkable because he could have scored 94 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: fifty points every single night, maybe even more. But he 95 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: got everybody involved and came in with that mindset of 96 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: getting everybody involved. When Michael Jordan came into the league, 97 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: Mike was about being a highlight film. Bulls weren't very 98 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: good and he was going to score. And then eventually 99 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: he kind of had a coming to Jesus meeting with 100 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: the front office, Doug Collins's head coach, Is this what 101 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: you want to be? And he wanted to be a winner, 102 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: he wanted to be great. Lebron came in and nobody's 103 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: lived up to the hype more than Lebron has now 104 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: some of that self hype, but still what he's doing, 105 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: how he's doing it, and with a depleted roster, it's 106 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: remarkable stuff. Yes, Paul, I was just thinking about this. 107 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: Wouldn't not qualifying Lebron is one of the great scores 108 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: of all time actually be a compliment, Like the rest 109 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: of his game is so good passing, rebounding, defense that 110 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 1: you wouldn't pigeonhole into score. You're you're basically biomission. You're 111 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 1: complimenting him like he's not at all one thing. Here's 112 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: Lebron after scoring fifty six points. Our guys were following 113 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: me off the floor to night. I'm corner to the 114 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 1: Acomax now as the phil to score fifty six, I said, 115 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: right now, I don't give a damn about the fifty six. 116 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: I'm just happy we gotta win. Now. I do think 117 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: he cares about it. I do think he really cares 118 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 1: about getting Karl Malone. He's a little a little over 119 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: two hundred points behind Karl Malone. I don't know if 120 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: NBA players would really say, how's how's it feel to 121 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: get fifty six? Maybe they did, but that feels like 122 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: maybe a little writer's embellishment there on the bronze part. 123 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: What was that like, Lebron? Yeah, I'm gonna guess most 124 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: of these guys, if you're in the NBA, you probably 125 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: had nights in high school. Maybe that you put up 126 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: a lot of points. But I don't know if somebody went, wow, 127 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: what's it like to get fifties? I mean Springborough knows, yeah, ye, Springborough, Clinton, 128 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: Massey they know they got torched. Yeah they did. They 129 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: paid the price. Shooter. Can't leave him, leave him open, shooter. 130 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: But I think this is really important to Lebron because 131 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: this season has been a roller coaster ride here. Maybe 132 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,679 Speaker 1: you're playing game, maybe you get bounced by the Phoenix 133 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: Suns early. But I think this is really important to Lebron. 134 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: Passing Karl Malone and then you got Kareem next season. Yeah, 135 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: that's sort of like Paul was just saying, right that 136 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: we've always described Carmelo Anthony as a great scorer. Yeah, 137 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: he's not a great basketball player, but oh great scorer? Yes? Great? 138 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: Why is Lebron so focused on lumping himself into what 139 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,679 Speaker 1: is used kind of as a slight for other people? 140 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: Like Lebron fights so many battles and sometimes there are 141 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: battles that he creates, and you're going, why do you 142 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: worry about this? And maybe this is that motivation stuff. 143 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: I'm going to prove uga. I've never looked at Lebron 144 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: and said he's not a score. I think he's the 145 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: greatest all around players ever played the game. Now is 146 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: that sort of dodging? Is he better than Jordan? It's 147 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: different now. It's like he's approaching the Jerry Rice kind 148 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: of conundrum. Rice what he did and how he did it, 149 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 1: and his numbers compared to everybody else who's caught a 150 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: football in the NFL. It's just silly. But we don't 151 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: consider Jerry Rice the best football player. We consider Tom 152 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 1: Brady the best football player. Lebron, to me, will be 153 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: the most decorated as far as all around with all 154 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: time records. Bill Russell's, you know, the all time decorated 155 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 1: athlete with eleven titles, but I have that, you know, 156 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 1: I have that understand it um and we get into 157 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 1: these arguments where you pick your side. I picked my side. 158 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: I'm fortunate to have seen both of them play in 159 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:15,839 Speaker 1: big games, win championships. Lebron is different. Lebron is is 160 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,599 Speaker 1: a hybrid and and part of his game is, you know, 161 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: partially due to Michael Jordan of wanting to go out 162 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: there and be had that killer instinct, and we did 163 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: doubt that killer instinct instinct for quite some time with Lebron. 164 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: Lebron had this to say on his show The Shop 165 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: about being labeled to score. The crazy thing is, I'm 166 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: I'm not like a natural score like I loved like 167 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 1: getting my guys involved. I've always been that way. I've 168 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: always like the point of seeing my teammate succeed off 169 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: my path or having like I've always been that type 170 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,719 Speaker 1: of guy. And to sit at the top of the 171 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: food chain and the most points scored in the history 172 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: of the game, it's like it's weird to me, Like 173 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,719 Speaker 1: they don't never they don't call they don't ever call me. 174 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: They don't never call me in when they talk about 175 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: the best scores of all the time, they never mentioned 176 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: my name. Yeah, it pissed me off. Maybe this is 177 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 1: just motivation because you I would view it as a compliment. 178 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 1: You're more than just that. You know, Kareem was more 179 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: than just that, but we did focus on that. Karl 180 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: Malone was a great score. Now you can say he 181 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: was probably All NBA defense a few times as well, 182 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,319 Speaker 1: and a good rebounder. But Lebron is different. You're not 183 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: You're not a scorer. You're just an unbelievable player and 184 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: maybe the greatest player who's ever played. But he gets 185 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: caught up sometimes in his own little world, in his 186 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 1: own little wars and battles, and I don't know it. 187 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: It does a disservice to what he's accomplished. And I'm 188 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 1: a big Lebron proponent, as you know listening to this program. 189 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: But I just think he gets involved in everything. You 190 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: don't have to get involved in everything or say something. 191 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: He could just say, you know what. I hope they 192 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 1: view me as a great all around player because that's 193 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: who I am. That's when I came into the league, 194 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 1: that's what I wanted to be, and when I leave, 195 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: that's what I want them to remember. That guy cared 196 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: about winning, making his teammates better. And if you need baskets, 197 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: he could get baskets as well as anybody who's ever played. 198 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: But he's not a shooter, and I don't look as 199 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: a scorer. I just look at him as maybe the 200 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: greatest player who ever played. I'd rather have that than 201 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: somebody going, man, you're one of the great scores of 202 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: all If you said, you know, Lebron, one of the 203 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 1: great scores of all time, he'd probably go, well, what 204 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: about my all around game? Like you can't win in 205 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: a situation like this, yeah, Paul. More importantly, the Lakers 206 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: won one in a row. Yeah, I got to bear 207 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: the lead. This program brought to you by Discover. Real 208 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: credit card questions require real people. Somebody will understand your issues, 209 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,599 Speaker 1: works hard to resolve them with you. That's why I 210 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: Discover offers helpful US based representatives available twenty four seven. 211 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: Discover exceptionally in common sense. I watched the Celtics against 212 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: the Nets Jason Tatum, and I'm never surprised anymore. And 213 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: maybe that's a compliment to Jason Tatum where he puts 214 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: up a big game, and he put up a big 215 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 1: game against the Nets, and you start to wonder, like 216 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: I just don't know what the Celtics are. They play 217 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: good defense, but you know, you're twelve games over five hundred. 218 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: I just don't know are they a spoiler this year 219 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: because we're not factoring them in as we are the 220 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: seventy six ers, the Miami Heat, maybe even the Chicago Bowls. 221 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: But they're a tricky matchup come playoff time because Jaylen 222 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: Brown like they have weapons to be able to make 223 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: it tricky. And they played pretty good defense. But I 224 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: watched him play and he can be effortless in putting 225 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: up fifty four points. Pretty impressive there. All right, we'll 226 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 1: get phone calls coming up. Seaton has the responsibility the 227 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: honor of our poll question today, So I thought we 228 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: could start with something off of Coach K's final game 229 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: at Cameron indorsteat. Coach k'se final game at Cameron was exciting, disappointing, 230 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: a little awkward. It was awkward. It just was you 231 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: kept watching and you're going North Carolina. Come on. The 232 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: script says make it close, Duke Winn's dramatic fashion, and 233 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: then we all celebrate. The one thing I absolutely did 234 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: not see coming after the game was Coach K having 235 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: to apologize I'm sorry, I know I did not see that, 236 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: and he was scolding the crowd like, this is how 237 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: you're going out, dude, stop sharing. Okay, I imagine you're 238 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: showing up. It's gonna be Oh, this is gonna be 239 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,719 Speaker 1: so great. You know. No, it wasn't so great. Hey 240 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: be quiet, Hey be quiet? Acceptable? What happened just now? 241 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: Today just felt like it was supposed to go differently. 242 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, all right, we'll talk to Jay. Billis Jay? 243 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: Was there anything else that we need that we're noodling today? 244 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: We got a couple of other poll questions that were noodling. 245 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: This one's from PAULI. Whose career would you want? Coach K, 246 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: Phil Jackson, Bill Belichick, Nick Saban? Oh my god, the 247 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: last generation ish? That's those are kind of to me, 248 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: the big four I think most successful. Um, maybe I'm 249 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: leaving someone out Belichick, Saban, Phil Jackson, coach K. I 250 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: guess my question is in fifty years, whose name will 251 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: still be out there? So when do we talk about 252 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: sports history? And that's kind of how you pick it. 253 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: I would guess, well, I don't I don't know how 254 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: many titles Saban's gonna put up. I would probably say Belichick. 255 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: I'd have to I'd have to think about that. Yeah. See, 256 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: it's kind of interesting about these names too, is that 257 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: because some of them are there's sort of question marks 258 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: about well, yeah, were they really that great? Like Phil 259 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: Jackson had, Michael and Kobe of course he was great. Yeah, right, 260 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick is still fighting the well yeah, Tom Brady, 261 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: of course he was great. Well. Saban's probably had more 262 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: NFL players than any college coach, but it feels like 263 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: he made them rather than they made him. Maybe that's 264 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: not fair, but it's like nobody questions coach k and 265 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: how great he was considered all of the talent he 266 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: had running through. Man, you go back and there's a 267 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: couple of things that change the whole dynamic of coach 268 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: K and I'll talk about it. There were a couple 269 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: of recruits that he got and if he didn't get them, 270 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: I wonder if we would be here today talking about 271 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: coach K. All right, seventeen after the hour, phone calls 272 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: coming up, settled on a poll question, and we'll have 273 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: a little information on Aaron Rodgers next destination, Should he stay, 274 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: should he go?

Okay, 308 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 1: we're gonna play a little game here. This is from 309 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 1: Peter King of NBC Sports. Okay. After being spurned by Treykman, 310 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,719 Speaker 1: Sean McVay, and John Lynch, Amazon for the Thursday Night 311 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: package of NFL games has hired Blank to be their 312 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: game analyst. Has hired Blank to breathe their game analysts. 313 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: Who would like to go first? Well, I'll go first 314 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: and last. It's Kirk Kerbstreet. Kirkurbstry's crect yea. Now, according 315 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: to Peter King and others, that does not mean that 316 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: Kirk Kurbstry is leaving the mothership. He could still continue 317 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: to his college football duties. There no word on that yet. 318 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: And then people, you know, started to critique this, like, well, 319 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: he hasn't done NFL games and he's never played in 320 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: the NFL. Well, he did great when he filled in 321 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: with Fowler. Plus the other thing is he knows these 322 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: players as college players, so he's got history there. I 323 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: don't have any problem with this. We get so caught 324 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: up in this. He never played.

What did you expect was 327 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 1: going to happen with the final game there with coach 328 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:11,880 Speaker 1: k at Cameron. I didn't know. As you said, there 329 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: was an emotional element to it that none of us 330 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: could predict, you know, how we'd feel. And even though 331 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: we knew this was coming since last spring, the finality 332 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: of it, and the fact that there was so much 333 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,959 Speaker 1: it was like a royal wedding in a way. There 334 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: was so much pomp and circumstance around it. The media 335 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:36,199 Speaker 1: coverage I mean, the media camped out there was incredible, 336 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 1: so it was kind of an odd feeling. And then 337 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: having all the former players down there before the game one. 338 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 1: It was really cool to see everybody, but it was 339 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: just it was so different than anything I've ever been 340 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: through before. But it was it was there were parts 341 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: of it that were incredibly cool. You know, you just 342 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 1: wonder is it going to impact the game? And I 343 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: don't know, honestly, I don't know whether it did or didn't. 344 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: I mean, before that, before the game, everybody talked about 345 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: the emotion is going to be this great weight on 346 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 1: the players and all that. But I think I had said, 347 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: if Duke wins, everybody's going to say they rode the 348 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: wave of emotion to a victory. If they lose, they're 349 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: going to say it was a huge distraction and a 350 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: reason they lost. All that stuff's just a sort of 351 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: an excuse or rationalization. It may have been a factor, 352 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, you have to play, 353 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: and Carolina was just better. If I would have said 354 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: to you in nineteen eighty five, we're going to get 355 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: to this point with Coach k where we might be 356 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: celebrating him as the greatest college basketball coach of all time? 357 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: What would you have thought? I mean, I wouldn't have 358 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: disputed it, but it's certainly hard to imagine that anyone 359 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: could stick around somewhere forty plus years and have this 360 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: kind of success. I mean when my class, which included 361 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: Johnny Dawkins, Mark Allery, David Henderson, and Tommy Amaker was 362 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: the next year when that group left, there was no 363 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: guarantee they'd ever have a tea that good. I mean, 364 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: we won thirty seven games that last year we were there, 365 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: and that was a record, an all time record, and 366 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: what it took till twenty twelve till Kentucky won thirty 367 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: eight to beat that. So and coach k had two 368 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: or three thirty seven win teams after that, and final 369 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: fours and national championships. I mean, a coach makes one 370 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: final four, it's a career maker. And he's made twelve 371 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 1: and as a chance for another one this year. That 372 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 1: that just you know that That's where when I was 373 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: always really sensitive grown up in Los Angeles to the 374 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: John Wooden discussion of the greatest of all time, that 375 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: people would try to take Wooden down a peg by saying, well, 376 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: they played in the West and it was easy to 377 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: get through the West and he had Alcinder and Walton, 378 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: Well that was true. I mean he won five titles 379 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: while a sender, and Walton he won five without him. 380 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,360 Speaker 1: And but Coach K did it at the highest level 381 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: for longer like Wooden won ten and twelve years, which 382 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: will never happen again. To say, it's extraordinaries and under statement. 383 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 1: But the argument for Coach K against Wooden is that 384 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,679 Speaker 1: he did it for forty years, you know, as number 385 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: one and all these different things, did it in the 386 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: television and internet era when there were so many changes 387 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: going on. It's really really remarkable. I'm not sure we'll 388 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: ever see his like again in that regard. I was 389 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: wondering about this. You go back to Johnny Dawkins, which 390 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: to me was sort of that transformational recruit that Coach 391 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: K got. And then he convinced late Latener's mom to 392 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 1: not go to North Carolina and go to Duke Grant Hill, 393 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: convincing him and his father not to go to know, 394 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 1: I mean, North Carolina was going to get Lightner and Hill. 395 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 1: And you know, so if you look at those three, 396 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: would you is that correct though? That that was sort 397 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: of what was happening at the time that Johnny I 398 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: think was a big difference maker coming in. And then 399 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: the fact that he talked Lightner in Grand Hill out 400 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: of going to North Carolina. Yeah, that was the big 401 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: turning point. Johnny Dawkins is the most important player to 402 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: ever played Duke. It's certainly under coach King that, But 403 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: for Johnny Dawkins, I'm not sure this honestly, this happens. 404 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: Maybe it does, but I'm not sure it does. The 405 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: key guy though, before Later and Hill in the Duke 406 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: versus North Carolina recruiting battle was Danny Ferry. Danny Ferry 407 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: was a high school senior in nineteen eighty five and 408 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 1: Carolina was all over him. And back then, when Carolina 409 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: recruited you, you went, and Duke got Ferry is the 410 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: number one, number one player in the country. And that 411 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: was when the tide started to shift and it became 412 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: a fair fight in recruiting and Duke could get a 413 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: player that Carolina wanted, So that was the one and Ferry. 414 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: You know, Ferry went to three final fours during his 415 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 1: period there and was National Player the year and one 416 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: of the best college players, frankly I ever saw. So 417 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: that was the guy that I think greased the skids 418 00:23:55,680 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 1: for you know, the Duke versus Carolina recruiting battles. And 419 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 1: the truth is Dan Duke and North Carolina recruited the 420 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: same guys that still do and uh And I always 421 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: thought it was funny like Duke recruited. I was in 422 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: a grad assistant when Duke was recruiting the heck out 423 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 1: of Eric Montross and he chose Carolina, and Carolina recruited 424 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: the heck out of Latener and Hurley and all that. 425 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: And Carolina fans hated Latener and Hurley and Duke fans 426 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 1: hated Montras who may be the nicest person that's ever lived. 427 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 1: And you're going, do you guys realize if they'd made 428 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: a different decision, you would have put statues up with 429 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: the guys you claim you hate on both sides. It 430 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: just they both both schools recruit unbelievable guys. And there's 431 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: not a better person on the planet than Hubert Davis. 432 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 1: And if he had gone to Duke, he'd be a 433 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: Duke icon and they tout him, but h you know, 434 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 1: he went to Carolina, so they don't. They don't care 435 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: for him. It's just that's part of the rival regnus. 436 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,360 Speaker 1: But I look back on Latener and I know later 437 00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: was so important to the program. But did he also 438 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: create sort of that US against the rest of the 439 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 1: world mentality by his style of plays personality? Yeah, that 440 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 1: probably started with Ferry a little bit, and Ferry and 441 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: Quinn Snyder kind of brought Lightner up and they were 442 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 1: pretty hard on him when he was a freshman, and 443 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: Latener had unbelievably tough skin. He's probably you know, in 444 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 1: addition to being arguably the best player ever at Duke, 445 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: he was the best competitor that's ever played there. That 446 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: dude was unbelievable. And I don't remember him Dan ever 447 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 1: getting outplayed, whether it's Shaquille O'Neill or whomever. O'Neill may 448 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: have been a better player, but he didn't now play later, 449 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 1: I don't remember anybody ever doing that. And later, like 450 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: I used to played tennis with Latner, and you know, 451 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 1: he played ping pong and you know, ridiculously competitive in 452 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 1: those things. And people don't believe this, but it's true. 453 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 1: Latner at six ten, six to eleven whatever he was, 454 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: could get in a handstand and walk on his hands 455 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: from one baseline to the other he was an extraordinary athlete, 456 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 1: not in the run and jump, since he was a 457 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 1: good athlete, but an extraordinary athlete and the things that 458 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 1: he could, the different things he was capable of doing. 459 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: Like when you and I were kids, athlete meant could do, 460 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: could play a lot of different sports and do a 461 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: lot of different things. Now it means run and jump, 462 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: but later was an extraordinary athlete in that way. He's 463 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: Jay billis ESPN college basketball analyst. Did it feel like 464 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: the end of an era on Saturday? Yeah, not just 465 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: coach k but I'm talking about college basketball. Yeah. But 466 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: we've I've felt that before, you know, when Bob Knight 467 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: left Indiana, or when Dean Smith retired, or when I 468 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: was a kid, when Wooden retired at the Final Four 469 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy five, you felt like, mote boys never 470 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 1: going to be the same, and it is never going 471 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 1: to be the same. But but in one part, there's 472 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 1: there's sadness because he's leaving. But on the other part, 473 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 1: it's exciting. He's exciting for the next chapter for him 474 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: and his family. But it's also exciting for the game 475 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: too because there are other people that are going to 476 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: step in, so I'm not worried about the game, just 477 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: like I wasn't worried about it when one and done, 478 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: or worried about it when we've added the three point 479 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 1: line came in or other changes. The game will be 480 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,640 Speaker 1: the game will be just fine. But but he let 481 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,679 Speaker 1: Bob Knight said this about Henry Iva, I think when 482 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: he went into Hall of Fame, of all the shadows 483 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 1: cast in the game, is the longest, And I kind 484 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: of feel that way about Coach k that the shadow 485 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: he's cast in this game is the longest there's ever been. 486 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: There have been some pretty long ones with Dean Smith 487 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 1: and Bob Knight and Pete Newell, you name it, all 488 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 1: the great coaches and the current guys now like with 489 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: you know, Baheim and Izzo and Calipari and all these guys. 490 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 1: We've had some iconic coaches. But one thing that is 491 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 1: changing is is you know now that the game it's 492 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 1: been professional for a long time, but now that it's 493 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 1: really professional with the players able to to monetize their 494 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:07,640 Speaker 1: talent and the transfer portal, you know, now the coaches 495 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: are not supreme like they were in the past. They 496 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: have to change the way they do business, and so 497 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 1: you know we're going to see a little bit of 498 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: change in that we may not have the super powerful 499 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 1: kind of royalty type coaches like we've had. It may 500 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: become a little more professional in that regard. Too great 501 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: to talk to you again, Jay, We'll talk to you 502 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 1: a tournament time. Thanks for joining us as always, Thanks 503 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: for having me. Good to be with you. That's Jay 504 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,959 Speaker 1: billis ESPN College Basketball analysts. We'll get some phone calls. 505 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: We got our play of the day coming up. Got 506 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,479 Speaker 1: another stat of the day for you. And as I mentioned, 507 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: Grant Hill and Kristin Laytner had made it. They had 508 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: a decision to make, and they made the decision that 509 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: they were going to go to North Carolina. And I 510 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: think Grant Hill father said Calvin Hill played football in 511 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: the end fl with the Cowboy said let's visit Duke, 512 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: And it felt like they had already made up their 513 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 1: mind and Latner had already made up his mind with 514 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: North Carolina. And you just I don't know. I'd love 515 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: to have known how coach K closed them, because without 516 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: those two, we're not talking about Coach K this way 517 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: and Johnny Dawkins. You know what Jay had to say, 518 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: you were getting a City kid from DC, I believe 519 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: with Johnny an African American going to Duke, which was 520 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: considered a rich kid's school, and that just changed everything. 521 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: And then Tommy Amaker came in African American, and it 522 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: felt like it was less of the all white team 523 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: at Duke, but those were really important recruits. Then you 524 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: got Grant Hill, and I always think back and Grant 525 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: such a wonderful person. I mean, Michigan, Georgetown wanted him, 526 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: everybody wanted Grant Hill, and I can't help but wonder 527 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: what Grant would have been like. I think grand Hill 528 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: would have been one of the top ten players of 529 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: all time if he had been healthy, stayed healthy. I 530 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: think he was that that great all around, but he 531 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: had all those surgeries, foot, leg surgeries, never able to 532 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: reach what we thought his potential was. Yeah, Poet Dan 533 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: as an expert in all things peaking. It doesn't feel 534 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: like ninety ninety two and Duke was in the Final 535 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: four every year. They were household names, and they were 536 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: you know, they beat the running Rebels, and then they 537 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: got you know, they lost the running Rebels and they 538 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: beat them the next year. Um and then the game 539 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: against Michigan that felt like the maximum highest level college 540 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: basketball in America and it kind of cooled off slowly 541 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: after that. Well, how many college teams have been a 542 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 1: cultural brand? Duke has been obviously, Georgetown was Fab five, 543 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: was un LV was I'll go back to UCLA. They 544 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: were a cultural brand before we knew what that was 545 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: with coach Wooden Um. Even North Carolina. You know, Michael 546 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: wasn't the best player on on that team. You know, 547 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: James Worthy was considered the better player at the time. 548 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: I think he was player of the year. Uh Dean Smith, 549 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: you know, Bob Knight, that was that was a cultural 550 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: brand Indiana basketball with Bob Knight. I mean, I've been 551 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: fortunate to be to have been treated to this, to 552 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: see this, to cover this, and it was sad, you know, 553 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: knowing that this is it for coach Kum and you're 554 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: gonna have Caliperry have his moment and Tom is who 555 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: have his moment, Jim Beeheim. But it's different. It's different 556 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: with coach k with what he's done, what he's meant 557 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: and survived because he was sort of average those first 558 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: but seven eight years at Duke he was average. You 559 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: don't last that long. You can't be averaged like that anymore, 560 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: and they were patient with him. He got recruits, he 561 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: got Danny Ferry and and after that, you know, he 562 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: started just kind of filling in whatever needs he needed 563 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: on his team. Yeah, Paul Mike Sazowski's first year duke 564 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: was eighty eighty one, seventeen and thirteen. But the next 565 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: two seasons ten and seventeen, eleven and seventeen, yeah, you 566 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: don't survive. And he won twenty four games, and it 567 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,239 Speaker 1: was on. Yeah, all right, we'll take a break.

He 604 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: has four career games of at least fifty points. That 605 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 1: ties him with Larry Bird for most all time by 606 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 1: a Celtic. All the other Celtics all time have combined 607 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 1: for just five games of fifty or more points.

Here comes that 610 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:55,279 Speaker 1: what stat of the day? Alrighty, I don't put too 611 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: much stock in forty yard dash times. If you've listened 612 00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,799 Speaker 1: to the program, you know that I think that it's 613 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 1: a meaningless stat because it feels like we have more 614 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,760 Speaker 1: guys running faster than ever before. Well, that just means 615 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: everybody else is faster when you think about it. Jordan Davis, 616 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:15,359 Speaker 1: who weighs three hundred and sixty pounds, he's six six 617 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: three fifty or three sixty he ran I think of 618 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: four eight eight six something like that at that size 619 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: and he's an interior defensive lineman. Now you would think 620 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,359 Speaker 1: that would be enough to put him in the top ten. 621 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,359 Speaker 1: And from what I'm reading he's probably a little bit 622 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,400 Speaker 1: later in the first round of the draft, and I'm thinking, 623 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: if I got a guy that big at that position, 624 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,799 Speaker 1: who can run that fast, come on down. And he's 625 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: six six, so if he can't get to the quarterback, 626 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:53,359 Speaker 1: he gets those hands up. Aaron Donald is six feet tall, now, 627 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: Jordan Davis is sixty six. Put him at nose tackle, 628 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 1: let him go. Feels like that's one of those value picks. 629 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 1: I told you Sauce Gardner was going to get a 630 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: lot of love here, a lot of attention. Cincinnati Bearcat 631 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 1: defensive back didn't allow a touchdown in his career. By 632 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 1: the way, Sauce Gardner, he might he might be a 633 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 1: top eight pick. I said he'd be a top ten. You. 634 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,959 Speaker 1: I know he might be a top eight pick. Maybe 635 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 1: he plays for the Giants, yes, Polly. Jordan Davis of 636 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 1: Georgia again. He ran a four point seven eight forty 637 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 1: meter dash that's the best ever by anyone over three 638 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 1: hundred pounds in combine history, and he's forty two pounds 639 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:38,359 Speaker 1: passed three hundred pounds three forty two. He also had 640 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: a thirty two inch vertical, which was the best by 641 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 1: anyone over I think three hundred pounds. I still, I 642 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 1: know it's so corny and it gets no attention. The 643 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 1: three cone drill. There's certain positions where that's so important. 644 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: Wide receivers, defensive backs, even lineman. I want to see 645 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 1: how quick your feet are, and we get caught up 646 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,080 Speaker 1: in that forty yard day. You don't Jordan Davis is 647 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:09,280 Speaker 1: not going to run forty yards in one play straight ahead. 648 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 1: Just not going to happen. Now, if things are going right, No, 649 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,839 Speaker 1: if he's chasing somebody down the field, things are going 650 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 1: horribly wrong. And maybe, but chances are he's going to 651 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 1: be running seven yards ten yards every play. That's about it. 652 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 1: That's where I want to know. Can you get off 653 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,800 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage? How quick are you off the 654 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage? Not how fast are you? There's a 655 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,759 Speaker 1: lot of guys with top end speed. Baylor has a 656 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 1: defensive back he ran I think the fastest or second 657 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 1: fastest forty yard dash. Ever, he's not even the best 658 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:47,560 Speaker 1: defensive back on his own team, but he can run fast. 659 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 1: I don't like, what do you do with your speed? 660 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,279 Speaker 1: That's what I want to know. Best and worst of 661 00:37:54,360 --> 00:38:00,319 Speaker 1: the weekend, Andrew and Washington leads this off again. Hi, Andrew, morning, 662 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:04,200 Speaker 1: guys did Monday Morning five to six and a larger 663 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 1: than tea hands eight and five eights. Okay, I think 664 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 1: everybody's got bigger hands than Marvin does. But if you 665 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,399 Speaker 1: measure your hands, then we'll trust you that you're doing 666 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 1: it and being legitimate. Here some the pinky I read, 667 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 1: so I did them to pinky. Yeah. Worse of the weekend, 668 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,279 Speaker 1: of course, Duke getting outscored by fifteen points in the 669 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,120 Speaker 1: second half and losing Coach K's last game at Cameron 670 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 1: Indoor to UNC. Nonetheless, best of the weekend Lebron James 671 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 1: allowing Laker fantasay, so you say there's a chance by 672 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 1: scoring fifty six in a win against the Warriors. And 673 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 1: I was going to use Jamal Crawford's name in a 674 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:44,279 Speaker 1: trivia but just real quick, just a quick factory day 675 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 1: for Lebron James is he is the only player in 676 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 1: NBA history to have a fifty point game before turning 677 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:54,399 Speaker 1: twenty one and after turning thirty five. So hey, thanks guys, 678 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 1: all right, thank you. Andrew. Andrew's always bringing some stuff. 679 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 1: Sounds like he's right too. Yeah, Well, we're just gonna 680 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 1: believe him. Oh, we don't care. We don't check the 681 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:08,319 Speaker 1: wh do any research Brad in North Carolina? Hi Brad, 682 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 1: welcome back, Hey DP. Obviously the best of the weekend 683 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 1: was what's being called here in the local media what 684 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,240 Speaker 1: could be the most historic win in the regular season 685 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,359 Speaker 1: in college basketball history. Was really proud of Hubert having 686 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 1: the guys ready. The moment wasn't too big for them 687 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,120 Speaker 1: in their period. It was for deep the worst of 688 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:31,839 Speaker 1: the week and all my preface by saying I grew 689 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 1: up idolizing coach Smith and despising coach k And yeah, 690 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 1: the contrast there. Coach Smith never uttered a four letter 691 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 1: word in his life, whereas Coach K I learned how 692 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 1: to use that bomb by watching him on TV. But 693 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,479 Speaker 1: there became a healthy respect between the programs through the years. 694 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 1: So it was really disappointing for me to see Chris 695 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 1: CARROLLL refused to shake hands with you to days after 696 00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,279 Speaker 1: the game. I just thought it cheapen the whole moment. Yeah, 697 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 1: I saw that, and uh, Hubert Davis is like, I 698 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,800 Speaker 1: don't even know this assistant coach at Duke, and I 699 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 1: didn't play in the game, So what's you have against me. 700 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,080 Speaker 1: Did you read a backstory on this, Paulium or did 701 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: anybody have a backstory on what? Yeah? See, there's a 702 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 1: I think that Hubert Davis came out pregame and went 703 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,360 Speaker 1: over to Coach K and shook his hand. But I 704 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:27,359 Speaker 1: guess snubbed the assistant coaches UM, and so it wasn't 705 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 1: a snub as a re snub in his mind, he 706 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,920 Speaker 1: was re snubbing. He re snubbed someone else, right, But 707 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: on TV it appeared to be a pre snub. Plus 708 00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 1: North Carolina didn't have a kind of a rollout present take. 709 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 1: All these other teams had a presentation. I think for 710 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,160 Speaker 1: Coach K to say goodbye, and I don't think North 711 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:52,439 Speaker 1: Carolina did yea too soon? Too soon. He's gonna be fine, 712 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 1: Coach K. There isn't Ellen Schevski. Oh yeah, there's a 713 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 1: lot of letters in there. Uh, Nick and d C. 714 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:04,000 Speaker 1: Hi Nick, what's on your mind? Hey? Good morning, Dan, 715 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:12,360 Speaker 1: first time a long time.

Then did you say the 718 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,920 Speaker 1: Radio Hall of Fame where your trophy is located? At 719 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,919 Speaker 1: sale in Marstrolina. Now that's not the Radio Hall of Fame. 720 00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:34,320 Speaker 1: That's in Chicago. That's the Sports Broadcasting Sportscasting Hall of 721 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,800 Speaker 1: Fame is in North Carolina. Thank you Nick for the 722 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 1: phone call. Yeah, I mean Joe Tory is not the 723 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,040 Speaker 1: he won, but I think people look at it and said, well, 724 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,720 Speaker 1: he won with that lineup, you should win with that lineup. 725 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:52,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's fair or not, but you know, 726 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,399 Speaker 1: Joe Tory is a Hall of Famer. But if he's 727 00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:59,279 Speaker 1: not on the list here of great coaches, whose career 728 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:03,360 Speaker 1: would you want? Shashevski's, Phil Jackson, Bill Belichick, Nick Saban, 729 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 1: Joe Tory. I don't think I would take Joe Torrey 730 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:13,279 Speaker 1: over those other coaches I just mentioned, but still the 731 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,120 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame coach and he did it with the Yankees. 732 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,239 Speaker 1: I got a suggestion for major League Baseball.
