Mark 9 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: Jackson he will join us coming up. He did Game 10 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: seven last night between the Nuggets and the Jazz. As 11 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: the Nuggets pick up the win in dramatic fashion, they 12 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: move on to face the Clippers Celtics up two oh 13 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: and the Raptors tonight the Heat against the Bucks. Game 14 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: two and Game seven Thunder and the Rockets will have 15 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: a play of the day. Stat of the day. McLevin 16 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: has a poll question. I'm sure it wasn't the one 17 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: on one battle that we thought it was going to 18 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: be last night. Denver's Jamal Murray and Utah's Donovan Mitchell. 19 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: They both ran out of gas and they were playing great. 20 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: I thought it was the first player to fifty would 21 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: pick up the win. But you could tell where they 22 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: were running out of steam last night. It was an 23 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: incredible finish there came down to the last second, Mike 24 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: Conley had a three to win it and the Nuggets 25 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: pick up the victory as they advanced, and the series 26 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: was really a revelation I think for NBA fans who 27 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: didn't know how good Murray and Mitchell were. You knew 28 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: who how good Mitchell was because he's a rookie of 29 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: the year. Murray kind of lost in the shadow of 30 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 1: fellow Kentucky Wildcat Devin Booker. But that's the thing about 31 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: the playoffs. You really never know who is going to 32 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: step up. Especially this year, certain guys seem really comfortable shooting. 33 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: We saw that last night in the Celtics game. Denver 34 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: faces a tough challenge next round against the Clippers, who 35 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: were prohibitive favorites. Murray won't be able to sneak up 36 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: on anybody, and you know, Doc Rivers going to throw 37 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: everything he can at the young Nuggets star. But no 38 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: one expected him to do what he did in the 39 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: first round. So maybe maybe got a few more tricks 40 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: for us as Denver moves on to the next round. 41 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: This program is brought to you by the great Folks 42 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: at legal Zoom.

Visit legal zoom dot com 47 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: today for more information. Yesterday afternoon, I got some information 48 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,839 Speaker 1: from the source. This is the same source who had 49 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: the information on the PAC twelve and Big ten shutting 50 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: down their seasons. So I trust him. I trust him implicitly, 51 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: and he said October tenth is the date that Big 52 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: ten teams are circling and that's what they're hoping for. 53 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: Was just told Big ten will start October tenth if 54 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: they can pass updated measures and procedures. Don't know if 55 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: it will happen, but the President may have had an impact. 56 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: And I said, okay, I said he got anything else? 57 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 1: He said, last night I was told that something was 58 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: going to happen this week with the Big ten. Same 59 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: person today tech me to tell me the October tenth date. 60 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: They know the fall is by far their best chance. 61 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: Now there have been Athletic directors and presidents who have 62 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: refuted this report, but I want to again caution you. 63 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: They have to be able to accomplish the updated measures 64 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: and procedures, the safety measures and procedures. That's really important 65 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: to understand in all of this. The reason why they 66 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: said October tenth, and that's a Saturday, is they want 67 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: to be involved in the BCS. Okay, you want to 68 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: get into the final four. Wisconsin is loaded this year. 69 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: Ohio State is loaded this year. This is what I 70 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: was told as I followed it with why October tenth, 71 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: that is the latest they can play and still get 72 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: involved in the best or in the playoffs for the 73 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: national title game. There are teams, this is what I'm 74 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: told by my source. There are teams that want to 75 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: get started right now and be in position to be 76 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. There are deathly other schools in the 77 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: Big Ten that don't want to play. The president gets involved. 78 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: The fact that there's no leadership, different agendas makes it 79 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: difficult to think they can come together. But the Big 80 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: Ten has itself to blame. Playing in domes during the 81 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: winter with depleted rosters in the spring for no championship 82 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: is not an alternative. They have more money than anyone 83 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: and they rush to judgment. Now they're going to be 84 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: watching other conferences start and possibly play a full schedule. 85 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: That's all the information that I have. I'm not saying 86 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: they're going to play. This is the date that they 87 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: are targeting, and there are schools that won't play, and 88 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: those teams we might actually have a true Big Ten. 89 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: Maybe you don't have Rutgers, you're not going to have Northwestern, 90 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: maybe Illinois, And I'd probably say to Maryland, Ah, you 91 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: don't need to play this year. We'll just have ten 92 00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 1: teams and maybe you could have a ten game schedule maybe, 93 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: but you want to be able to qualify and there's 94 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: a lot of money at stake here. Yeah. So based 95 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: off that, the Big Ten could come back, but not intact, 96 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: like if there was some type of revote and it 97 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: was you know, ten four ten play four don't yes, okay, yeah, 98 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: but the October tenth date gives the Big Ten the 99 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: opportunity to be in the playoffs. Anytime after that won't work. 100 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: That's why I think everybody had this rush to judgment 101 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: the Big Ten is playing. They're starting October tenth. That's 102 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: the target date they're discussed discussing right now, October tenth. 103 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: If we're going to do it. This is when we 104 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: need to do it by So we got five weeks 105 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: feels like an eternity. And if not, you're just gonna 106 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: have exhibition games because they're talking about can we play 107 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: in dome stadiums. You're gonna have a lot of these 108 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: marquee players who are going to opt out and it's 109 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: just not going to be good football. They know that 110 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: this is the clock is ticking October tenth. They can 111 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: they have five weeks to get ready and then they're 112 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: able to qualify for the postseason. And if you have 113 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: these schools that are going to start in late September, 114 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: bring them back. You have an opportunity. There is a 115 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: window of opportunity. You know. The President said to Kevin Warren, 116 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: who's the commissioner of the Big tenth, Look, whatever safety 117 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: measures you need, I will provide that the government will 118 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: provide that, the White House will provide that. There's a 119 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: whole lot of pressure on some people here. And I 120 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: am not flipping. I don't mean to just throw something 121 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: out there and walk it back or I just you 122 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: have to put it in context of everything that's going on. 123 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: But what I was told is October tenth, that is 124 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: the key date. If they're going to play, that's when 125 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: they will play. But it is a huge if because 126 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: I don't know how many schools. I don't know what 127 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: safety procedures need to be updated, according to myself, but 128 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: you can bet Ohio State and Wisconsin definitely want to play. 129 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: And then you throw in Penn State, and you throw 130 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,679 Speaker 1: in Michigan. Nebraska. We know they want to play, Iowa, 131 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: we know they want to play. But this isn't a 132 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: we're starting October tenth. And I want to caution anybody 133 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: who was run with this. This is the target date 134 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: that they have and it doesn't mean it's going to happen. 135 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: Because I even said to my source, is this a 136 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: long shot? And he said right now, yes, because you 137 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: don't have leadership in the Big Ten. And that's what 138 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: the president is trying to call on the Commissioner, Kevin 139 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: Warren to say you need help, I'll give you help. 140 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: And my source even said, look, this is about swing 141 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: votes for the president. He understands it, and if it 142 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: can help him with that and we can also get 143 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: Big Ten football, then so be it. But that's what 144 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: these are things that are being discussed right now behind 145 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: the scenes and I had people who are refuted when 146 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: I said the Big ten and PAC twelve are shutting 147 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: things down. I had the same people who say, you know, 148 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: I didn't know what I was talking about, or I 149 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,239 Speaker 1: don't know who your sources are. It's my same source 150 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: who told me all this, and I trust him, and 151 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: if there is an update, I'll give you an update. 152 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: But October tenth is a target date, and it may 153 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: be wishful thinking, but I don't know if the Big 154 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: ten's going to play this fall. I don't know if 155 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: the Big ten plays this spring. I don't know if 156 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: the Big ten doesn't play at all this year. But 157 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: they are trying again because I think what happened was 158 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: when I came in that morning and I told you 159 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: the Big ten and PAC twelve are not going to 160 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: play football this year. That sent shockwaves through the Big Ten. 161 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: And I was told by my report that I was 162 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: helping reset the Big Ten because now the presidents were 163 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: not the only ones involved. They made the decision. The 164 00:08:55,440 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: athletic directors, the coaches, the players, boosters, everybody got involved, 165 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: and the President's had this vote on Sunday afternoon, and 166 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: then I got the information Sunday night came in to 167 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: tell you about that Monday morning, and there were two 168 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: coaches found out watching the show. And I'm sure a 169 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: lot of players or families of players they didn't know. 170 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: And that's why as much, you know, as people may 171 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: refute this report in it, then the report is they 172 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: have a target date. There's no guarantee they're coming back 173 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: October tenth, but if they do, that's the date they've 174 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: circled because they can get a schedule in and still 175 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: have teams compete for the national championship. Because that's the 176 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: pressure Ohio State is putting on the Big Ten right now, 177 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: like we can compete for a national championship. Wisconsin feels 178 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: like they can compete for a national championship. But that's 179 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 1: what's going on behind the scenes. And I've asked my 180 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: source a couple of questions this morning and see if 181 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: I can get more information here on Michigan's practicing right now. 182 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: Adam Schefter reported that I'm asking the Big Ten. We 183 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 1: got a note into the Big Ten, like what are 184 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: the practice schedules here? What can they do? And I 185 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: think it's conceivable in five weeks you could have football 186 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 1: in the Big Ten and imagine if you're a Big 187 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: Ten fan or really a football fan, you're going Austin 188 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:31,199 Speaker 1: pe is playing Central Arkansas. They don't have any budgets, 189 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: but they're playing football on ESPN last Saturday night, and 190 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: you have to be thinking, why aren't we playing football? 191 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: How is it that high school football in Ohio he's 192 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: playing the Bengals. The Browns are going to be playing 193 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: We're the Ohio State. There's seventy five other schools that 194 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: aren't playing. Nebraska is saying the same thing. Iowa was 195 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: saying the same thing. How is it you can't play football? 196 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: But I always stay ken and I guess they're going 197 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: to have over twenty thousand fans at their first home game. 198 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: So you're trying to figure all of this out. But 199 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 1: I truly believe if Jim Delaney was still the commissioner, 200 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: the Big Ten Big Ten would be playing football right now. 201 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: He's a businessman. Now, look Kevin Warren, who is the commissioner. 202 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: I don't know him, and he might be correct. He 203 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: might be the smartest guy in the room to say, Hey, 204 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: I told you we shouldn't be playing football. I told 205 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: you that the other conferences shouldn't be playing football. We're 206 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: going to find out in a couple of months. Pac 207 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: twelve they closed up shall they boarded up the windows there. 208 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: Now nobody's talking about them possibly coming back. But the 209 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: Big Ten, that is a distinct possibility. And I didn't 210 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: think I would be saying that a couple of weeks ago. 211 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: But now I think that the President got involved and 212 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: the President's going to continue to put pressure on the 213 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,599 Speaker 1: Big Ten to play football. All right, McLevin, And what 214 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: do you have for me today? What's our poll question? Well, 215 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: we could ask do you think there will be Big 216 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: Ten football? The three choices being this fall, this spring, 217 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: or just skipped the season? Okay, what do you think 218 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: that would end up? Like? It feels like it would 219 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: be like a thirty three thirty three, thirty three, But 220 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: you know, all three seem to have some chance except spring. 221 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: You just kind of said that doesn't seem likely. I 222 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: just don't. I don't think we're gonna have spring football. 223 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: So it's either you play or you don't play. I 224 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: think they're gonna give it one more shot to try 225 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: to pull this off. So I'm gonna say that they'll 226 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: play football this fall, even though the odds are long 227 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,439 Speaker 1: that it happens. Just understand that because you got to 228 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: get everybody on the same page. Do you have a 229 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: revote with your presidents and the vote has gone from 230 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: twelve to two to eleven to three, and that was 231 00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: three who wanted to play, and that's Ohio State, Nebraska, 232 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: and Iowa. Wisconsin wants to play. I think Penn State 233 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: would follow suit, Michigan State, Northwestern. I don't. I don't 234 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: think he's playing, and I just don't. I don't see 235 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: that happening. Even the Ohio State president, Christina Johnson, says 236 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: she sees a path that could lead to Big Ten 237 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: football being played this fall, and she did an interview yesterday. Yeah, 238 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: I agree, I can see it. There's a possibility there, 239 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: but you have to have everybody on the same page 240 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: to make this happen, and then take advantage of what 241 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: the president is offering to make sure that you have 242 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: safety on campus. There's a chance you could pull this off. Yes, 243 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: we club. Yeah, should I put that up though? I 244 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: have some NBA options too if you want, let me 245 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: do football first. I know we're going to talk basketball 246 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: with Mark Jackson here coming up, but I put football 247 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 1: up there. I'm curious what the reaction is going to 248 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: be with us, we want Big ten football. I don't 249 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: know if we're gonna get it. So I don't know 250 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: how people vote. If I'm saying you gotta be realistic 251 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,199 Speaker 1: about it, do you think it's going to happen? Not 252 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: do you want it to happen? Because there's a big 253 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,599 Speaker 1: difference in how that's phrased. Yeah, people vote, It's like 254 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: wishful Paul vote. Yeah, it's true. Um, I don't know 255 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: how people would react after the President and what he 256 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: said to the commissioner, what my report was from a sores. 257 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess people would probably think the Big ten 258 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: will play this fall. I'm gonna I'm gonna guess maybe 259 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: the majority would would say would lean towards they will 260 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: play this this fall. There's so much at stake, Yeah, 261 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: there really is. But you gotta have that strong leader 262 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: says this is what we're doing, this is how we're 263 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: doing it. I'm sure Barry Alvarez, the former Wisconsin head 264 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: co athletic director at Wisconsin, I'm sure he's playing a 265 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: large role in this too, because he's smart guy, powerful 266 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: guy there. But you got to have somebody who's gonna 267 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: lead the charge, be the flag bearer for the Big Ten. Yes, poet, 268 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: this comes down to me, and I have zero sources. 269 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: I have no sources, just a hunch. I cannot picture 270 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: in my head Ohio State football letting themselves not play 271 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: football this fall. You know that program better than anyone 272 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: in this room, for sure, But that is a serious 273 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: football program. That's it might as well be an SEC school. 274 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: And I cannot picture the higher ups at Ohio State 275 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: letting this happen. And if they have to call every 276 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: conference commissioner and president and get them all on the 277 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: same page and then force a revote or force the 278 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: Big Ten commissioner's hand, I think they're going to do 279 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: so in the next week. Yeah, that's what I don't 280 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: understand what's going to happen. And I've tried to find 281 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: this out. Do the presidents need to revote to play 282 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: or not play? And how many does it take? Is 283 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: it just a majority? What if ten schools say we 284 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: want to play and four say that we don't, you're 285 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: still going to play? And this goes back to when 286 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: we were first starting out, like the embryonic stages of 287 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: is college football going to come back? Are they going 288 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: to play. And I remember asking the question to the 289 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: commissioner of the SECT, Greg Sankey, could you see where 290 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: maybe you have some of the schools in the SEC 291 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: coming back to play? And he didn't want to get 292 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: down that road and deal with the hypothetical. But I 293 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: was dealing with the hypothetical. Not every school in every 294 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: conference wants to play or wanted to play. I told 295 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: you that in the Big Twelve, Texas and Oklahoma were 296 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: leading the charge. But not every pudding in the Big 297 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: twelve wanted to play. Not everybody in the Big Ten 298 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: wants to play. Haven't heard anything about the SEC or 299 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: a SEC of schools that do or do not want 300 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: to play, and some of the other schools around the country. 301 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: But maybe there's a revote, and maybe that's the start 302 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: of this. But you got five weeks now to try 303 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: to be able to pull this together, and there's going 304 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: to be a whole lot of pressure from the White 305 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: House that's going to be constant. All Right, we'll take 306 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: a break. Mark Jackson NBA on ESPN. He had last 307 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 1: night's game seven Nuggets beating the Jazz. Nuggets. Now move 308 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: on to face the Clippers.

Coming up, we'll settle on our 323 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: poll question I think we already did. Do you think 324 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: the Big Ten will play football this fall in the 325 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: spring or not at all? I actually put next fall. 326 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: Maybe that's overly optimistic, but yeah, not at all. Basically 327 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: it's a third option. Yeah, they're wondering. And this is 328 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,919 Speaker 1: what was brought up to my attention yesterday by my 329 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: source that if you play spring football, then you really 330 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: jeopardize the fall and then what happens with that you 331 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 1: don't want to jeopardize two seasons. You know that you 332 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,679 Speaker 1: need to play in the fall. October tenth, that is 333 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 1: the start date. That's the latest you can start, according 334 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: to my source, and you could still qualify to play 335 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,239 Speaker 1: for a national championship. And that's what you have with 336 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: Ohio State and maybe Wisconsin in there as well, maybe 337 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: somebody else in the Big ten. But they realize that 338 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,719 Speaker 1: they have an opportunity. There is a window there, and 339 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 1: you got five weeks to make that happen. If they're 340 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 1: able to make that happen, all right, eight seven seven 341 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: three D P show email address DP at dan Patrick 342 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: dot com. We'll hear from Jamal Murray at Donovan Mitchell. 343 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 1: That'll be coming up. Mark Jackson, the former great point 344 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,719 Speaker 1: guard now running the point for NBA on ESPN and ABC. 345 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: Mark lit the call last night with the Nuggets beating 346 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 1: the Jazz to advance. Now they had the Clippers waiting 347 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,199 Speaker 1: for them. Mark, good morning, Thanks for joining us. How 348 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 1: would you sum up the final minute of that game 349 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: last night? Well, I thought it was a thanks for 350 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: having me. First of all. I thought it was a 351 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: great series, a great game, and gave us pretty much 352 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: everything down the stretch. You know, bad plays, big time plays, 353 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: big time shots, you know, and and and missed opportunities. 354 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: But it was a great series and it was on 355 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: and a joy for me to be part of the call. 356 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: But you had Donovan Mitchell that I think people realized 357 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: how good he is now playing in Utah doesn't get 358 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 1: primetime coverage. Jamal Murray might have been the most improved 359 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 1: player or the biggest breakout star I think in the 360 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: bubble your thoughts on what you saw with Jamal Murray, Well, 361 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it was the biggest breakout star the 362 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 1: entire time. You know, obviously when play Off started and 363 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: what he did in that series really made him the 364 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: breakout guy. He put that team on his back and 365 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: made huge plays. The thing that was most impressive impressive 366 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: to me was his ability to make shots. I mean 367 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: those step back threes, those you know, one dribble threes, 368 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: those pull up threes, those you know coming off screen. 369 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: He pretty much did everything a perimeter guy could do 370 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: to give his team a chance to win, especially and 371 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: it was needed. When you look at the series that 372 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell had, he was he was spectacular in it. 373 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: It really gave you know, the Joker an opportunity to 374 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 1: make plays down the stretch last night because he was 375 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: fresher because of you know, the load that Jamal Murray 376 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: has carried the entire series. Okay, wait, who's a bigger 377 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: breakout star than Jamal Murray? No, No, for the for 378 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: the for the entire bubble. Would you say that, Devin Booker? 379 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 1: You know you're already giving him superstart him? Or was 380 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: he a breakout star because we didnt he scored seventy 381 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: points in a game. I thought we were gonna be friends. No, no, 382 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: we're always friends, but this is our friends act. I 383 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: just slapped the floor mark. I'm ready to play some 384 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: defense here. I'm not used to that from new music. Uh. Okay, 385 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: So I think Jamal Murray is probably the breakout start there. 386 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna argue when you think when you put 387 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: the body of work and what he's done in this 388 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: series alone, it was incredible, and he's certainly you know 389 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,959 Speaker 1: now all of a sudden people are embracing who he 390 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,640 Speaker 1: is and and and the talent level that he brings 391 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: to the table. You just co signed, Yeah, just you 392 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 1: hit the floor and you you intimidated. I was thinking 393 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 1: about you when the passing of John Thompson and the 394 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: first time I met Mark Jackson was in the sports 395 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: information office at Saint John's. And I've told Mark this 396 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: so I can I can mention this on the air. 397 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: But we were trying to get an interview with Chris Mullen. 398 00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: We wanted to do a feature on Chris Mullen, and 399 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: they said, well, we'll give you Mark Jackson, and they 400 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: trot out Mark Jackson and from I don't know, some door, 401 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: he came out and said we had to do an 402 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 1: interview with Mark Jackson. They said, if you do an 403 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 1: interview with Mark, then we'll give you Chris eventually. So 404 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: thank you, Thank you, Mark, you were the setup man. 405 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: Things haven't changed. He wasn't able to get a hold 406 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: rich Miller to day, but he called me. Did John 407 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: Thompson recruit you at Georgetown? No? He did not, you know, 408 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: but I'll tell you this, and I said this before, 409 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: if you told me I had an opportunity to play 410 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: for any coach that I never played for in the 411 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: history of sports, not just basketball, because I'm a sports junkie, 412 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 1: So any coach that I never played for, I can 413 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: pick one without question. It'd be coach John Thompson, because 414 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: I watched him. I witnessed him not just love on 415 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: his kids, but his kids love them back. His players 416 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: absolutely adored him. He challenged him, he nurtured them, he 417 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: taught them, but most importantly, he protected them. And you 418 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: look at the not just that. You know, at the 419 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: end of the day, he won. He wins the eighty 420 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 1: four championship, and he has incredible success. That's not as 421 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: big as accomplishment to me. His biggest accomplishment is the 422 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: folks that he's impacted and the folks that they have 423 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: in turn impacted. That's what it's all about, being a 424 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 1: coach and a quality man. And that'll bit longer than 425 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: a national championship. I was honored to compete against them 426 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 1: and truly inspired by watching them. Well, said Mark Jackson, 427 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: joining us, He is joining Mark Jones, Cassidy Hubbard. Day 428 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,199 Speaker 1: have another Game seven. That'll be tonight Oklahoma City against 429 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,199 Speaker 1: the Rockets. We'll touch on that in the moment. The 430 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: chances for the Nuggets to beat the Clippers or what 431 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: you know. Obviously the Clippers are the favorite, but the 432 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: Nuggets are talented enough and well coached. They're coming off 433 00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: of you know some success of a hard fought series 434 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: against the Jazz, so this opportunity for them to embrace 435 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: the challenges. And but I think clearly the Clippers with 436 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: their talent, certainly the favorite. But the Nuggets have a chance. 437 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: You have talent, you have you know, home run talent, 438 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,919 Speaker 1: you have a chance in any series. Who do the 439 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: Lakers want to face between the Rockets and the Thunder. 440 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 1: I think if you're the Lakers, it doesn't matter. I 441 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: really don't think it matters because if they're playing the best, 442 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: the best basketball that they could play, that talent levels 443 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 1: should beat either one of them. So I don't think 444 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,479 Speaker 1: you pay attention to well out. And again I've been 445 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 1: in this situation as a formal player. You be careful 446 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: who you ask for. You know, I prefer this team, 447 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, you know, we wanted to 448 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: hobble New York Nick team with Patrick ewing out over 449 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: the Miami Heaton. We got what we asked. One we 450 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,919 Speaker 1: wound up being on vacation. So you have to be 451 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: careful in that situation to make sure you take care 452 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: of your business and you're ready in bad I don't 453 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know what's at stake with the 454 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: Rocket season tonight if they don't advance. But it feels 455 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 1: like it feels like Mike D'Antoni it might be coaching 456 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,640 Speaker 1: for his job tonight. Is that too heavy to lay 457 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: on this game? Well, that's what the streets say. The 458 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: streets are talking for sure, streets right, Yeah, who knows. 459 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 1: I will tell you that he's an outstanding coach. He's 460 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: done an outstanding job, not just in Houston, but in 461 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 1: his entire basketball career. Um, it'd be unfortunate, but you know, 462 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: life goes on no matter what. I wish him nothing 463 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: but the best. And you know, hopefully those those stories 464 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: in the streets are not telling the truth. But he's 465 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 1: an outstanding coaching and uh, this is a team that 466 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: you know, the expectations was huge for them, and hopefully, 467 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: you know, for for his sake and for their sake, 468 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: they can pull it off. But there's pressure across the board, 469 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 1: you know, not just in Houston, but all around this league. Yeah, 470 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. They went all in on Russell Westbrook, 471 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: they gave up those draft picks, they kicked Chris Paul 472 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: to the curb. It feels like you can't bow out, 473 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 1: can't bow out in the first round. That that feels 474 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: like changes will need to be made, certainly at the 475 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 1: head coaching position. And Chris Paul, you know, when they 476 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: got him in Oklahoma City, it felt like they that 477 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: was just like a pit stop for him. He was 478 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: going to go there and then they were gonna ship 479 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: him off. There were rumors that he was going to 480 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: be traded. Then all of a sudden, I think they 481 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: woke up one day and go, you know, we're a 482 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: playoff team here. And Chris Paul has been as clutch 483 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: as anybody in the bubble. He's been awesome here. So 484 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: what happened with Oklahoma City that they realized that they 485 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: have a really good team or competitive team. Well, Chris 486 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,159 Speaker 1: Paul at times in his history can be a you know, 487 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: somewhat of a pest and uncomfortable to be around because 488 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 1: of you know, his competitive drive and you know, he's 489 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: he's he's a guy that is extremely intelligent when you're 490 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 1: talking about basketball, I would say even brilliant um. And 491 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 1: he challenges guys and his leadership from day one he 492 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: went to Oklahoma City and they say that from day one, 493 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: he says, I don't want to be traded I want 494 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 1: to be here, and he went on to prove himself 495 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: to his coaches, his teammates. The challenges are facing two 496 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: guards that are legit in the backcourt and having to 497 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: compete against them. This latent his career forced himself into 498 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: the starting lineup, and you know, he embraced those guys 499 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: and really made each and every one of them better 500 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: basketball players. And it's hard to believe, but I'm sure 501 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: Billy Donovan will tell you, and Billy Donovan, in my opinion, 502 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 1: it's going to be a Hall of Fame coach. One 503 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 1: is all said and done. Made him a better coach 504 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 1: because guys like that challenge you and force you to 505 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 1: really know what you're talking when you can't trick guys 506 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: like that in them. I don't know if you ever 507 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: heard this story, but we had Chris Webber on and 508 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: we were just talking about what kind of conversations come up. 509 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: This may have been based off of Montres Harold and 510 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 1: what he was saying to Luca don Check on the floor, 511 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 1: and Webber said, you know, I had this moment where 512 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 1: Petr Stoyakovich hit a long three and Gary Payton says 513 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,439 Speaker 1: to him, to punch you in the mouth if you 514 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: take another one of those shots. So see, Webb then 515 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,679 Speaker 1: had to step in two. He said, I had to 516 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: get crazy. I had to get crazy on Gary Payton. 517 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: So Gary Payton, I mean, he says he's gonna punch 518 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: Pasia in the mouth if he takes a shot like that. 519 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: As as as would say, those were the day what 520 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: you would do? Did that ever happened to you? Or like, 521 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: did you ever run into somebody who is just crazy 522 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: and said things that made you nervous? You know where 523 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: I from. I know, I know if you're scared, get 524 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: a dog man and you got three dogs, You got 525 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 1: three dogs exactly. No, No, that that never happened to me. 526 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: That never happened to me. But I understand. You know, 527 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: when you see a guy that you think you can intimidate, 528 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: you probably go and cross the line. And I mean, 529 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,080 Speaker 1: Pasia the heck of a player, but it can't. It 530 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: came a point in time in Gary Payton's mind with 531 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: that was his goal to play, to try to intimidate 532 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: them and hopefully he could accomplish the goal. But those 533 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: type of things happen all the time. But why were 534 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: the Clippers doing that to Luca? Well, this is a Well, 535 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with them trying to intimidate them. 536 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with them trying to be 537 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: physical with him. I have a problem with the language 538 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: that was used, especially in twenty twenty is unacceptable. It's 539 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 1: unacceptable if Luca said it to Montrese, so I'm not 540 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,719 Speaker 1: going to accept it if it's the other way around. 541 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: And I think we got to be better across the board. 542 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: And I think to Montrese's credit, he embraced, he apologized, 543 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: and to Lucas credit, he didn't make it a big deal. 544 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: So we live, we learned, and we move on. Will 545 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: you remember how big it was when Isaiah and Rodman 546 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,479 Speaker 1: said what they said about Larry Bird and Larry they 547 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: had to have a press conference after Rodman said if 548 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: he was black, he'd be just another player, and then 549 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: Isaiah co signed on that, and that was here's Larry 550 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: going into the NBA Finals or something. He's got a 551 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: hold a press conference to say basically, I don't think 552 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: it didn't bother me. Well, this is breaking news. Larry 553 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: Bird would be all time great and a legend no 554 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: matter what color he was. So so that's that's that's 555 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: breaking news for you that this morning. Okay, all right, 556 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: we got breaking news. Larry Bird would be good no 557 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: matter what color he is. Thank you, Mark. What do 558 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: you think of my my Miami Heat extremely well coached, um, 559 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: top top notch organization that has a roster full of 560 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: competitive dudes that refuse to quit, refuse to surrender. But 561 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 1: you tell me who is not extremely well coached? Like 562 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,239 Speaker 1: everybody's been extremely well coaches there? No, no, no, no no, no, 563 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not a guy. I'll tell you if 564 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: if a guy can't play, he had a bad day. 565 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 1: I'll tell you if if a coach had a bad day, 566 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: I'll tell you referee had a bad What did the 567 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 1: streets say, and Mark, that's what I want to know. 568 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: The streets are saying that Eric Spolster will be a 569 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: hall of fame I agree, I'm only speaking facts. No, No, 570 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: I said that yesterday. That is going to be a 571 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: Hall of fame coach when it's all said and done. 572 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: Absolutely so right there with you. I love this Heat team. 573 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: I don't know how great they can be, but they 574 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: are fun to watch and I really feel like I'm 575 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: watching a complete team. Um. You know, I think you 576 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: know when Jimmy Butler plays the way he played in 577 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: Game one, you know, his ability to take over the game, 578 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: because they're going to need somebody to take over the game. 579 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler, as outstanding as a player as he is, 580 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: will he do it consistently and when it matters most, 581 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: when he's got it going, He's proven to be that 582 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 1: that guy that believes he's a world beat and it 583 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 1: plays the way he played in Game one. I'd like 584 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: to see him take that responsibility every single night, whether 585 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: it be to score, also to facilitate at times, you know, 586 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 1: drawing gadget drugs has been the days. You know, he's 587 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: carried them at times offensively, especially the role he's been 588 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: on lately. But this is a team that is well coached. 589 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: They understand how they're gonna win. They're committed to it. 590 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: They don't have breakdowns. Defensively, if you're gonna be honest, 591 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: you have to sprint the floor, you have to build 592 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: a wall, and you have to be committed every single 593 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: possession and not allow him to take advantage of his 594 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: matchup where he sees bodies in front of them. That's 595 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 1: what they did in Game one. That's what they've been 596 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: able to do and successful with doing every time they 597 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: faced them, and that will give them an opportunity to advance. 598 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 1: That and only that will give them an opportunity advance, 599 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 1: and they're committed to being locked into doing them. Yeah, 600 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: it's fun and should be great tonight with rockets and 601 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: the thunder. How many threes do you think the rockets 602 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: take tonight? Over under I'm gonna I'm gonna take the 603 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: safe bet and say over which which is? Which? Is crazy? 604 00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: You think about that if you said somebody gonna shoot 605 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: forty five threes, but they are all in they push 606 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: their chips in the middle of the table. How the 607 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 1: question is when they're when they're knocking them down. Uh, 608 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: not just James Harden but everybody else. I don't know 609 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: how you defend them. The problem is if they're missing them, 610 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: do they have a plan B? At some point in 611 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: time you have to put the ball on the deck 612 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: and get get get better shots, uh, and then get 613 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 1: the three point ball rolling. It'll be interesting to see 614 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: if they make the proper adjustments, whether they're hot or coal, 615 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: to give themselves a chance. Yeah, it wouldn't be bad 616 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 1: to you know, take a layout or a mid range 617 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: jumper there occasionally, but they just won't do that. Um, 618 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: the best job opening is which team you're talking about? 619 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: The ones that's currently open. Yeah, Pacers, Sixers, Nets, Pelicans. 620 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 1: There's some great job. You only got one. You got 621 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 1: one choice, Mark, you can have the job. I don't 622 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: know there's some great job, and I'm not taking the 623 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: easy road out. The point is this, there are thirty 624 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 1: of them in the world. Every single one of them 625 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: are great. They're great. There's thirty of them in the world. 626 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: Is it you don't want to choose because you don't 627 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: want to choose because you might be up for one 628 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 1: of these jobs or a couple of these jobs, so 629 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,439 Speaker 1: you don't want to say, Hey, I take the Nets, right. 630 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,759 Speaker 1: Does that sound correct? Mark, No, it sounds correct. And 631 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,839 Speaker 1: I'm a graduate of Saint John's University School of Communication. 632 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 1: There are thirty incredible jobs in the NBA. Did you 633 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: graduating it? Did you graduate? You did? Okay, I'm just curious, 634 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 1: that's bye, Okay, Okay, I'm just curious. I barely graduated. 635 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 1: But I you know, I'm really surprised you did graduate. 636 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: I'm surprised you barely graduated. I thought it was even 637 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: worse than that. I thought later on in life, when 638 00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 1: you were accomplishing, we went back and you know, paid 639 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: some money for it. I was that again University of 640 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:08,720 Speaker 1: Dat and I was prop forty eight. No wonder you've 641 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: been more grateful for Big Jo. That's why John walked 642 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 1: off the floor. Were me my intermural team? Exactly? Um, 643 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,840 Speaker 1: all right, we'll be listening.

It wasn't great basketball in that final minute, 695 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,319 Speaker 1: but it was entertaining. Speaking of not great basketball, I 696 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,920 Speaker 1: was in Indianapolis for the final four years ago. Mark 697 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,279 Speaker 1: Jackson was playing for the Pacers. Reggie Miller was on 698 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 1: the Pacers. Larry Brown was the head coach, and I 699 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 1: went out for drinks with Reggie and Mark when I 700 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 1: was in town, and then I know, they said, why 701 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 1: don't you come over and watch practice? And I said, well, 702 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,720 Speaker 1: if I come over, then I'm gonna want to shoot around. 703 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,880 Speaker 1: So they got me Pacers gear and I got went 704 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 1: in the locker room, came out, waited for practice to end, 705 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 1: and then I played Mark Jackson one on one. Had 706 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 1: a wicked hangover, not that if I didn't have a hangover, 707 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,239 Speaker 1: but the whole team is watching us play at the 708 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:11,359 Speaker 1: end of practice. Even Larry Brown is watching this. Poor 709 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,359 Speaker 1: man having to watch that. But Mark is bodying me 710 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 1: like it was he was guarding Jordan or trying to 711 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,759 Speaker 1: game seven, physical, pushing me around the whole time. And 712 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 1: then I finally scored on him and the bench they 713 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,960 Speaker 1: started giving him so much grief, and then Marc goes, 714 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,759 Speaker 1: let's shoot, Let's have a three point shooting contest. Now 715 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 1: I know I'm a better shooter than Mark Jackson, but 716 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 1: Mark toasted me that day, roasted me, embarrassed me, and 717 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 1: that I can blame the hangover on. But he did 718 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,840 Speaker 1: outshoot me, and I made the tactical error of letting 719 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: him shoot from the top of the key because that's 720 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 1: the only place he could make a three, because that 721 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: was where he would shoot if he ever shot at three. 722 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:53,719 Speaker 1: I had to get him to the wing, and I 723 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 1: didn't do it. But it was fun going in there. 724 00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,399 Speaker 1: And then Reggie Miller was killing me. He's like, if 725 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 1: you can't beat Mark, you want nothing to do with me, 726 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,759 Speaker 1: like Yellen is, he's going the locker room, and he's right. 727 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,440 Speaker 1: I wanted nothing to do with Reggie Miller, but I 728 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,400 Speaker 1: thought I can dust off Mark Jackson, and then he 729 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: ended up beating me in the three point shooting contest. Yes, Paul, 730 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:17,759 Speaker 1: it's got to be great to be a guy like 731 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,040 Speaker 1: Reggie Miller, where you think you can walk in the 732 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of the rooms and courts in America 733 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,360 Speaker 1: or a worldwide goal. I'm the best shooter here, Like 734 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:26,719 Speaker 1: you're a good shooter. A lot of people are good 735 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 1: shooters and beha, but he's world class. Yeah. And when 736 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:31,800 Speaker 1: you see the ball in his hands, they're just a 737 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,920 Speaker 1: certain guy like Ray Allen. You just see it in 738 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 1: their hands and you go, oh, that's going in. Let 739 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,280 Speaker 1: me get a couple of phone calls Aaron in Columbus, Aaron, 740 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:44,440 Speaker 1: what's on your mind today?
