1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. 3 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 2: Ray Allen, great golfer and one of the great shooters 4 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 2: of all time, joining us on the program. You played Oakmont, right, Nope, 5 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:18,639 Speaker 2: I never have. Yeah. Yeah, toughest course you played, uh today? 6 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 2: The toughest course I would have to say is I'll 7 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 2: say on Homeland. 8 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 3: I would say Madina in Chicago, And then just recently 9 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 3: a couple of months ago, I played cab at Saint 10 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 3: Lucia and it was a beast. 11 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 2: How is Jordan's as far as the test his skills, 12 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 2: his course? 13 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:39,639 Speaker 4: Uh? 14 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 3: The grove, the grove, it is not difficult, uh, because 15 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 3: you can you can pretty much hit it anywhere off 16 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 3: the tee greens getting you know, really fast. 17 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 5: I think you have to really. 18 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 3: Know how to chip around there, you know, if you 19 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 3: get around the green and it's like, you know, for 20 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 3: the for the first couple of rounds, it was like 21 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 3: I didn't even want to play the. 22 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 5: Place because I couldn't get up and down. I was 23 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:05,919 Speaker 5: like blading everything. 24 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 3: And I realized the bounce on my wedge was too 25 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 3: high for that course. 26 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 2: So you got to have a low bounce because the 27 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 2: grass is really tight. Does Michael make the course to 28 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 2: his liking. 29 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 3: I would say that he plays it fairly well because 30 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 3: distance really isn't a factor there. The way he plays it. 31 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 3: He doesn't hit the ball far, but he gets up 32 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 3: and down from everywhere. So he gets the ball in 33 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 3: front of the green, he's gonna get up and down 34 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 3: and he's a great He's probably the best putter that 35 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 3: I've seen, you know, amateur. So you lose a lot 36 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 3: of round of greens there. 37 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 5: And he's really good there. 38 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 2: Okay, a couple of things here. Grown is the first 39 00:01:54,200 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 2: organic fast food restaurant founded by you and Miami, Right, 40 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 2: all right, all right, so Shannon and Ray created Grown, 41 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 2: and you launched a nationwide franchising program. Look at you. 42 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 2: You yeah, branching out, all right? 43 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, you get those people who 44 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 3: talk about getting the trainer and I need to work 45 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 3: on losing weight. But you know, our bodies are created 46 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 3: by how we eat, and you know, that's kind of 47 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 3: been the cornerstone of my career, focusing on how to 48 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 3: eat correctly. I had Nutritionis for the first time in 49 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 3: twenty ten, and even then I sculpted myself, you know, 50 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 3: to even greater point. Just understanding what not to eat, 51 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 3: you know, eating at the right times, specifically for a 52 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 3: professional athlete. And so that's the thing people we're dealing with. 53 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 3: We're at this cross roads in this country where we're 54 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 3: eating so poorly. The foods that are we have access to, 55 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 3: they're killing us. And so we've been on an all 56 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 3: are getting diet, my wife and I'm my family, my kids, 57 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 3: and specifically my son Walker since he was diagnosed with 58 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 3: diabetes at seventeen months. So putting foods in our body 59 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 3: to make sure that we don't take on those chemicals, 60 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:23,399 Speaker 3: you know, those processes and those GMOs like super important. 61 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 3: And that's one of the reasons that we exist is 62 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 3: to make sure that we provide food for people. You know, 63 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 3: in Miami we have a drive through, so providing food 64 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 3: for people that allow them to eat foods without the guilts, 65 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 3: Foods that they could prepare for their families, food that 66 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 3: they can eat on the go. 67 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 2: If you're looking for exploring franchise opportunities at gron dot 68 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 2: org or email at franchise at grown dot org. Talking 69 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 2: to Ray Allen, I noticed this on social media where 70 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 2: there was a discussion about Lebron doesn't have the bag. Now, 71 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 2: I didn't realize what they were saying, so I asked Marvin. 72 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 2: He interpreted that since she's younger, and he says that 73 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 2: means that he doesn't have go to moves. I thought 74 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 2: it was money was the bag and he goes, no, 75 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 2: it can mean a lot of things. So Lebron doesn't 76 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 2: have the bag. What does that mean to you? 77 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 3: Well, I think over the course of a player's career, 78 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 3: you kind of consistently see what they can do on 79 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 3: a regular basis, and they do that. You pay to 80 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 3: see them play, You go watch them play, and they 81 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 3: do that move that they do consistently and they nobody 82 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 3: could stop it. You know, There's so many players over 83 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 3: the history and just kind of when you look at 84 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 3: the NBA today, we've lost a lot of skill from 85 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 3: that standpoint, because even when I came into the league, 86 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 3: we had mid range players, we had great pick and 87 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 3: roll players, we had great post up players. And so 88 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 3: now it's kind of like you're looking at a league 89 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 3: of guys that you know you're shooting. It's a lot 90 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 3: of one on one stuff, shooting a lot of threes. 91 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 3: And ironically, between OKAC and Indiana, there are probably two 92 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 3: of the few teams in the NBA that are shooting 93 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 3: mid ranges. And that's evident in how they got here 94 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 3: today to be in these finals because they're not relying 95 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 3: on analytics to only shoot threes. They're making sure they 96 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 3: get into the paint. So when they have those scoring droughts, 97 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 3: Halliburton drives, Like in the game seven against New York, 98 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 3: he just or game six, I think it was Halliburton 99 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 3: just just picking rolls, got into the paint, he scored. 100 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 5: And so so ultimately, when you talk. 101 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,239 Speaker 3: About a guy having a bag, it's having that pet 102 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 3: move where they can get to it and nobody can 103 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 3: stop it. And and Lebron has always been an unstoppable, 104 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 3: undeniable force where if you put a bigger guy on him, 105 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 3: he can't keep up with him because he doesn't have 106 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 3: the football. If he put a smaller guy on him, 107 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 3: he doesn't have the size. So Lebron's never really had 108 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 3: to have a pet move because he can just go 109 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 3: downhill everybody. 110 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, the casual fan doesn't appreciate that ray. 111 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 2: They don't they don't see what you see. They want 112 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 2: to see like, oh my god, there's a skyhook or 113 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 2: iversen breaking ankles. Uh. You know Lebron with physicality, you know, 114 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 2: nobody's going to go wow, look at that. And you 115 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 2: know Jordan had the aesthetics. I mean he had you know, 116 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 2: whether it's to fade away, going to the hoop, all 117 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 2: of those things. It just feels like because Lebron doesn't 118 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 2: look his game doesn't look pretty, you know, therefore he 119 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 2: doesn't have a bag. 120 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:33,799 Speaker 1: Well. 121 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 2: I mean also it's statistic driven. 122 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 3: The league is because the guys scoring more so being 123 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 3: able to get to the free throw line, being able 124 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 3: to score and transition and take the first shot available. 125 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 3: You know, you really don't have to because I think 126 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 3: even with with Giannis the year before. 127 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 5: They want the NBA Championship in Milwaukee, you. 128 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 3: Can see that he was trying to play a certain 129 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 3: way where he had to have the ball in his hands. 130 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 3: He was trying to make a move and he didn't 131 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 3: have it. He didn't have that skill set and it 132 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 3: hurt Milwaukee's offense. And then the following year when he 133 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 3: started kind of moving the ball, got the ball to 134 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 3: Drew Drews the one of their go tos. And then 135 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 3: Middleton was a guy who down the stretch would score 136 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 3: a lot for him, and so Janni's stayed in his 137 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 3: lane where he got scored in transition. You know, if 138 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 3: he got a wide open shot, he took it, but 139 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 3: he didn't know for accessibilities. And I think a lot 140 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 3: of times that's what it boils down to. It's just 141 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 3: understanding who you are, just sticking and you have to 142 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 3: rely on your team. So with Lebron, you know, that's 143 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 3: just the pop culture way of saying that he doesn't 144 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 3: have a go to move that people can rely on 145 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 3: seeing from him every night. But he's still as much 146 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 3: as he's in the game, he's still going to score 147 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 3: twenty five plus points a night just because he has 148 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 3: pure dominance. 149 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 2: Talking to Ray Allen, the Hall of Famer, explain to 150 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 2: me the Jason kids that you Brian Windhorse said, there's 151 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 2: mutual interest Jason Kidd and the Knicks. Him coaching the Knicks. 152 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 2: You have Cooper Flyg coming to Dallas, and why would 153 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 2: he want to leave that? And you're going to go 154 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 2: to the Knicks. And the only thing I thought of is, 155 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 2: I'm bringing in Jason Kidd if he can bring in Giannis. 156 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 2: If Yannas says all right, I want to go play 157 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 2: for Jason Kidd in New York. Other than that, why 158 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 2: would Jason Kidd want to coach the Knicks instead of 159 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 2: the Mavericks. 160 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 3: So this is pretty interesting conversation because even when Tibbs 161 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 3: was fired last week, everybody was like, well, he made 162 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 3: it to the conference finals out, how can we. 163 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 5: Fire a guy like that? 164 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 3: A lot of times we're you know, in the in 165 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 3: the outside world, because even when I was on the inside, 166 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 3: things were happening in locker rooms that people had no 167 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 3: idea as to what was taking place, and so people 168 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 3: had opinions, and I think a lot of times you 169 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 3: nailed it. There's things that are going on behind the 170 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 3: scenes that we're kind of not privy too. So there 171 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 3: is there could be, you know, some type of deal 172 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 3: being worked where all these pieces kind of you know, 173 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 3: falling in place and then all of a sudden, it 174 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 3: just kind of happens. 175 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 2: They fall like Domino. So do you is going to 176 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 2: be traded to the next Well? 177 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 3: I mean, I know he's been quipping about leaving Milwaukee, 178 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,719 Speaker 3: and I think it's going to come down to kind 179 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 3: of the best deal that Milwaukee sees necessary leaving for 180 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 3: him to leave Milwaukee and understanding the void that that 181 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 3: that leaves Milwaukee. You know, they really want to get 182 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 3: something for him. So it really will depend on you 183 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 3: know what that looks like. When I got traded from 184 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 3: from Seattle to Boston, I remember sitting in my room 185 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 3: and the trade, the draft was happening, and then I've 186 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 3: seen proposed trade and it was like Boston's giving up 187 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 3: like six players. I was like, oh, I'm so out 188 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 3: of here, and it said and nobody called me. But 189 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 3: the way I saw what Boston was given up, I 190 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 3: was like, yes, Seattle's taking that easily. So it will 191 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 3: depend on, you know, how Milwaukee can set themselves up 192 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 3: for their future and who they get back in return. 193 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 3: But you know, look out Eastern Conference and NBA. If 194 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 3: Jonnis ends up in New York, because obviously it's a 195 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 3: huge market, it's great mark for him and with the 196 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 3: success that they've had recently with New York, but it 197 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,719 Speaker 3: is going to require the giving up one of their 198 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 3: core players that they have right now. 199 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 2: If OKC wins this, let's say they win it in 200 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 2: five or six, will they be recognized as one of 201 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 2: the great single season teams of all time. 202 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 3: You know, it's hard to say that, but to your point, 203 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 3: it's amazing that they haven't gotten the do you know, 204 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 3: they won sixty eight games this year. My two championship season, 205 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:04,599 Speaker 3: we won sixty sixteen, So definitely from a record standpoint, 206 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 3: they have to be given that respecting that due in 207 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 3: the same token, they're so young, So I don't think 208 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 3: people expecting them to get there to this point. Even 209 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 3: you take a team like Cleveland being the number one 210 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 3: seed and I think they had the best record in 211 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 3: the NBA throughout the year, most people aren't surprised that 212 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 3: they're not here right now because they were so young, 213 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 3: and the fact that okay See made it, You would 214 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 3: have thought it would have been Cleveland, okay See. But 215 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 3: the fact that Okay See made it. You know, the 216 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 3: game is so different now because of the three point shooting. 217 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 3: It shoots teams in and out of the game in 218 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 3: the same token, and you see, the volatility is so great. 219 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 3: You know, you're watching the game, team is down twenty 220 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 3: and all of a sudden fourth quarter. It's a type 221 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 3: of ball game, and a lot of that does have 222 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 3: to do with, you know, being able to have certain 223 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 3: team scoring and that mid range game. You know, it 224 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 3: has to come back to that, you know, because there's 225 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 3: too much consistency in being able to uh sustain, you know, 226 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 3: or or come out of a The other day, Oka 227 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 3: see came out of a timeout and uh I don't 228 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 3: know what the score was, but Indiana was was up 229 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 3: quite a bit and dag Nall called the timeout and 230 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 3: then they came out and I was telling my son, 231 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 3: let's see what they've run out of a timeout, and 232 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 3: I think it was door work that started with the 233 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 3: ball on the wing at the top of the screen, 234 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 3: and then he swung it, you know, pick and roll, 235 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 3: swung the uh shay, and then he used picking roll. 236 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 5: He got all the way downhill on the scored a layup. 237 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 3: And I said that, right there is amazing execution out 238 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 3: of a timeout because it slowed them down. They got 239 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,959 Speaker 3: an easy bucket and they were able to get back 240 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 3: and set their defense up. 241 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 2: Look at you teaching moments there with your with your family. 242 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 6: Yeah. 243 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not just a three point shooter, right, I 244 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 2: mean you. 245 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 5: Know well that dad definitely is leading leading the charge 246 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 5: these days. 247 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, but you used to go down the lane and 248 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 2: dunk people always go man raised a great three point shooter. 249 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 2: I said, you didn't see him early in his career then, 250 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 2: because you were attacking. 251 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, and here's the fascinating thing about that. In Milwaukee 252 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 3: and in Seattle, Milwaukee, we basically played like a West 253 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 3: Coast offense, you know, so we got the ball, we 254 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 3: shot quick, you know, we kind of we had like 255 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 3: a spread offense. We didn't really have a post guy. 256 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 3: We could throw it down there some guys that could score. 257 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 3: And then those two places. Once I moved to Boston, 258 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 3: then we were more traditional to NBA basketball, you know, 259 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 3: with KG and Perkins on the block and you know, 260 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 3: throw the ball over the pain and kick it back 261 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 3: out and then so it it. It kind of set 262 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 3: my feet a little more than I had been in 263 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 3: my career. Didn't mean that I still couldn't dunk and 264 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 3: I still you know, couldn't get to the hole. It 265 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 3: did just change how I played and the most important 266 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 3: aspect of that, when you think about it, when I 267 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 3: came to Boston, I had to decide, am I going 268 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 3: to try to do this on my terms? Do I 269 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 3: want to do it on the team's terms? And ultimately 270 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 3: you win a championship because you have to adapt. It's 271 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 3: not the strongest the smartest that survive. It's the ones 272 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 3: most willing to adapt it. In that situation. It was 273 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 3: difficult because I went from shooting sixteen seventeen shots a 274 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 3: game to eight or nine. But that's what it took 275 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 3: it off for US win a championship. KG Ye'll let 276 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 3: you alt. Kg'sus yelled a lot period. You know, you know, 277 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 3: we always you know, I remember we we play Our 278 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 3: first game was in Rome, and you know, before the game, 279 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 3: I'm in here just dribbling the ball, get ready and 280 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 3: I'm excited. This is the first game together. And he 281 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 3: looks over at me and he's kind of moving to 282 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 3: the locker room. He looks over me, he goes, how 283 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 3: long are you gonna be doing that? And I was 284 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 3: like doing what? And I'm just sitting there dribbling between 285 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 3: my legs. He's like, you're gonna be drill on the 286 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 3: whole time. I said, yeah, we're about to play a 287 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 3: basketball game. This is what you do. And that was 288 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 3: the moment where you got alpha alpha males just kind of, 289 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 3: you know, kind of banging up against each other because 290 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 3: the previous year he was in a locker room where 291 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 3: he was the guy. 292 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 5: I was in the locker room. 293 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 3: I was a guy and everything kind of, you know, 294 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 3: march to the beat of our drums, and so now 295 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 3: we had to learn to share space with other individuals 296 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 3: like ourselves, and it was it was an eye opener, 297 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 3: but it did. It taught you, taught me how to 298 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 3: say okay. In order for this to work, we have 299 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 3: to share space, and we got to understand, like, this 300 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 3: is not just my show anymore. 301 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 2: Good to talk to you, Ray, Thanks for joining us, 302 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 2: and good luck with the restaurant.

You were at the University of Chicago, 355 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,360 Speaker 2: what late eighties? Yes, okay, do you remember your first 356 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 2: Jordan Bulls game when you were in. 357 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 8: I do, because so I got to I went to 358 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 8: law school at University of Chicago. I got there in 359 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 8: nineteen eighty five, and at that time, we could just 360 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 8: go down to the I mean you just bought tickets 361 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 8: at you know, literally at the ticket window at game time. 362 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 8: I mean, you know, I had gone to Duke so 363 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 8: I knew Michael from North Carolina. I mean not he 364 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 8: wasn't secret, but they weren't selling out all the games 365 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,239 Speaker 8: back then. I mean it was you know, people forget it. 366 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 8: It was several years before he won his first championship. 367 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 8: I mean, he was great, but it wasn't the Michael 368 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 8: Jordan that he turned into. 369 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 2: When do you remember when it was more than just 370 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 2: a basketball game, not. 371 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 8: While I was well, I remember there was an All 372 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 8: Star game in Chicago, so it would have been I 373 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 8: don't know, it was like eighty seven or something. I 374 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 8: remember that. What was the year when he went to 375 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 8: the game, eighty eighty? Yeah, okay, So that you know, 376 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:59,959 Speaker 8: I think that transformed. I think him into this Globe 377 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 8: icon in a way. I just think that that iconic 378 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 8: shot I can picture of him flying through the air. 379 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 8: I remember, you know, I did not have great seats, 380 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 8: but I remember I was in the arena when he 381 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 8: did that, and I just remember that that was transformational. 382 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 2: I think, how involved were you with NBC bringing in 383 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 2: Michael Jordan? 384 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 8: Not at all, you mean just now there's just this 385 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 8: announcement they're bringing them back now. I mean they told 386 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 8: me they were going to try, and I said, good luck. 387 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 8: I didn't honestly didn't think he was going to do it. 388 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 8: You know, it took us, as you know, decades to 389 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 8: convince him to do the documentary, you know, the Last Dance, 390 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 8: which came out during the pandemic and ended up still 391 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 8: I think it's one of them. You know, widely viewed 392 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 8: on Netflix, but he didn't, you know, he didn't want 393 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 8: to do that for a long time. We had the footage, 394 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 8: and I know there were other inquiries over the years, 395 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 8: and I think he, for whatever reason, he was ready 396 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 8: to do it. 397 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 10: Now. 398 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 8: I think he has, of course, incredibly fond memories of NBC. 399 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 8: I don't think that's lost on anyone he has. You know, 400 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 8: as you well know, some of the very same people 401 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 8: are there, people like John Miller, who he had a 402 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 8: relationship from back all those years ago. You know, Mark 403 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 8: Lazarus was still you know, they are just switched over 404 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 8: to the other side of the operation. But you know, 405 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 8: so I think like he had those relationships and again 406 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 8: I didn't discourage them, but I was surprised he said, yes. 407 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, still trying to figure out what his role is 408 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 2: going to be. Now do you follow up? Do you want? 409 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 2: Are you curious about what role Jordan is going to 410 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 2: play with the upcoming camp? 411 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 8: Yeah? No, I you know, well, I you know, I 412 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 8: didn't know in advance, but that you know, they told 413 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 8: me what their idea was for him in that role, 414 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 8: and I think that they're still working through that. I 415 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 8: think that you know, I spoke to Michael about it. 416 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 8: I mean, he's he's excited about it. I think for him, 417 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 8: it means he's got to stay current with the game. Obviously, 418 00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 8: he's he's a small owner still in Charlotte, but he 419 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 8: he's so passionate about it. I mean, we talked about 420 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 8: it all the time. I mean, he you know, he 421 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 8: wants the game to be played the right way. He 422 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 8: he he, you know, he's still got a huge business 423 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 8: around the game with the Jordan brand. But I think 424 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 8: more importantly, he watches a lot of basketball and and 425 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 8: you know, he knows it's it's what defines him still, 426 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 8: and so I think fans are going to enjoy hearing 427 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 8: his his take, you know, on on the modern League. 428 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 8: I think one of the things that I'm excited about 429 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 8: in terms of NBC coming back, and this goes back 430 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 8: to the Dick Eversol days, you know, is that I 431 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 8: remember that sign behind Dick's death that said storytelling. I mean, 432 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 8: I think they're still some of the best edit you know, 433 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 8: and I think telling stories around the game, I mean 434 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,679 Speaker 8: even right now, I mean that sort of this narrative 435 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 8: out there about small markets whatever else. I mean, you know, 436 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 8: incredible stories around Shay and you know in Tyres and 437 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 8: Pascal Siakam. I mean, I my job too. You you know, 438 00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 8: we first met when I was at MBA Entertainment. But 439 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,439 Speaker 8: to tell those stories to fans, I think that's what 440 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 8: draws them in. I mean, there's the lovers of pure basketball, 441 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 8: and I think the basketball is fantastic, but you also 442 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 8: have to show how multi dimensional these players are, and 443 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 8: you know, explain to them the storylines, the conflict on 444 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 8: the floor. And nobody does that better than NBC. 445 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 2: You talked about Michael staying current. There are times when 446 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 2: Charles may not know who's even playing in a game 447 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 2: that he's watching. Now, it's funny to us, but you're 448 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 2: the commissioner and this is your lead broadcast team or 449 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 2: studio show. How does that kind of settle with you? 450 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 2: When Charles may not even know who he's talking about. 451 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 8: Well, that may be a little extreme. I mean I'm 452 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 8: down there a fair amount at their studio Atlanta. I mean, 453 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 8: he's watching the games. I mean they made a decision 454 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 8: to take an entertainment route with that studio show. I mean, 455 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 8: I think ESP was always about more hardcore basketball. Maybe 456 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 8: NBC was somewhere in the middle in the old days. 457 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 8: But it's an entertainment show and he's entertaining and fans 458 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 8: seem to love it. You know. Sometimes he's a bit 459 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 8: of the crazy uncle, I think, But even when he's 460 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 8: I think there's a difference when putting aside, you know, 461 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 8: how focused he is on the game. My sense always 462 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 8: when Charles is critical, it is a little bit like 463 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 8: your uncle at the Thanksgiving table being critical. It's like 464 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 8: there's no doubt it comes from a place of love. 465 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 8: You know. I don't feel the same way about some 466 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 8: of the other commentators, and I think it's just it's 467 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 8: you know, Charles found a lane and he does it well, 468 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 8: and it'll be interesting to see how that converts. As 469 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 8: you know, they're now bringing that studio show to ESPN 470 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 8: and ABC next year. Yeah, I think, you know, we'll 471 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 8: see how that works out. I mean, I you know, 472 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:57,959 Speaker 8: I love the fact that those guys are still going 473 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 8: to be involved in our telecast, but you know, I'm 474 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 8: not sure whether it will be produced differently for them, 475 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 8: or there be a different expectation from ESPN and ABC 476 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 8: fans or watchers that maybe what people are seeing late 477 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 8: at night on TNT. 478 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 2: He's the Commissioner of the NBA, Adam Silver. You know, 479 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 2: everybody gets caught up in ratings and I just say, 480 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 2: either watch it or not. You know, but the role 481 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:25,199 Speaker 2: that social media plays on your priority list because this 482 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 2: is a global game and people may not watch the game, 483 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 2: but they're watching those clips. You know, you're getting views there. 484 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 2: But as the commissioner, you got to, you know, pay 485 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 2: homage to the networks. But where does social media rank 486 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 2: on your priority list? 487 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 8: Social media is high on our priority list. I mean, 488 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 8: first of all, we've had something like a billion view 489 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 8: so far globally on social media since the finals have started. 490 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 8: But also to get back to your ratings point, I 491 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 8: think what gets lost sometimes is just like social media 492 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 8: is global, so are the telc of our games. And 493 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 8: I understand people wanting to talk about our domestic ratings 494 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,959 Speaker 8: and the extent that the ratings are down, that's a storyline. 495 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 8: Or they're up, there's a storyline. And there is a 496 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 8: correlation between market size more than I'm happy about. 497 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 6: You know. 498 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 8: I was listening to Aaron Rodgers yesterday and he was 499 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 8: talking about now becoming a stealer and he was saying, 500 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 8: now I've played for two of the most storied franchises, 501 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 8: the Packers and the Steelers, but nobody stopped them to say, oh, 502 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 8: those are small markets. And so maybe I'm jealous in 503 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 8: a way from the NFL that that's never you know, 504 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 8: Steelers and Packers. The storyline is, it's unimaginable. It would 505 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 8: be can you believe two small markets they're meeting in 506 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 8: the Super Bowl this year it's two storied franchises. And 507 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 8: in the NBA, I think because there was so much 508 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 8: outside success of certain franchises over the first several decades 509 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 8: of the league. I mean, the statistic is roughly over 510 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 8: the first sixty five years of the league, three teams 511 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 8: won sixty percent of the champion hips. And so it's 512 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 8: understandable that Lakers Celtics Bowls still globally have these huge 513 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 8: followings because it gets almost passed on generationally. And to 514 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 8: make ourselves more like the NFL, I think we're moving 515 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 8: in that direction where we have a system now where 516 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 8: Oklahoma City and the Indianapolis can compete in the same 517 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 8: way that larger markets can because of a cap system 518 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 8: and tax and all that stuff. So it's going to 519 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 8: take us a while to get there, but I understand 520 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 8: why ratings are part of the story. Now the last 521 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 8: part I'll say about social media. I do think something 522 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 8: we're thinking a lot more about and getting more sophisticated about, 523 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 8: is how do you translate social media into a desire 524 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 8: to watch live games. I'll give you just one example. 525 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 8: I think we may even talked about it last time 526 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 8: I was on Victor wembin Yama was in New York 527 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 8: playing on Christmas and then played in Brooklyn a few 528 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 8: days later, so he was staying in New York around 529 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,160 Speaker 8: that time. He's a chess player to Washington Square Park 530 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 8: play chess in the rain for forty five minutes. Within 531 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,120 Speaker 8: five days, one hundred million people had viewed him playing chess. 532 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 8: And it was just anecdotally. Anyone I would ask, because 533 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 8: it was also on a lot of the morning shows. 534 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 8: I said, do you see Victory, Oh yeah, that was 535 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 8: the guy from France he played. Now the question is 536 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 8: seeing that he also plays chess, and he's by definition 537 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,360 Speaker 8: you could say, a multi dimensional guy. There's far more 538 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 8: to him than ball playing. He speaks multiple languages, even 539 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 8: the fact that he's you know, grew up outside of Paris, 540 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,199 Speaker 8: et cetera. How do we as the league use that 541 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 8: to bring people to the set to watch live games, 542 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 8: because I would say, looking back, we've gotten distracted at 543 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 8: times and forgotten sort of, or I've forgotten that My 544 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,880 Speaker 8: core responsibility is to get more people to be passionate 545 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 8: about NBA basketball and watch our games. That's what sustains 546 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 8: our business. I mean, of course ticket sales, but ticket 547 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 8: sales are as high as they've been in the history 548 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 8: of the league, and there's not a lot more room 549 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 8: to grow because our buildings are roughly ninety five percent full. 550 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 8: We have a global following, so there's enormous opportunity both 551 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 8: through social media, but where the real value comes is 552 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 8: from people watching live games. So I think we can 553 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 8: do a better job using social media to bring people 554 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 8: to the set to say, tonight eight thirty ABC, you know, 555 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 8: game three, tune in. And to be more sophisticated about 556 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:32,400 Speaker 8: understanding is it would people rather see more about Shay Gilgess, 557 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 8: Alexander's background, growing up in Canada, et cetera. What are 558 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 8: the things he loves or do they want to see him, 559 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 8: you know, working out what aspects of him are going 560 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 8: to cause people to be more likely to be interested 561 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 8: in watching the game. 562 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 2: Tonight why does the All Star Game have to be competitive? 563 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 8: It's an interesting question because again I was just talking 564 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 8: about how how jealousyam of aspects of the NFL. The 565 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 8: Pro Bowl at this point is flag football, and I 566 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 8: think that fans that seem to accept that it gets 567 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 8: a good rating, and nobody suggests that that's indicative of 568 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,479 Speaker 8: a lack of desire or passion by NFL players for 569 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 8: whatever reason. In the case in the NBA, when we've 570 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 8: tried other things and thought, all right, we'll go more 571 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 8: entertainment route or whatever else, the reaction is, I can't 572 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 8: believe your players aren't giving their all for an All 573 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 8: Star Game, or at least maybe they don't expect them 574 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 8: to play like they would in the playoffs. But they're 575 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 8: expecting a competitive game, and so that's fair. Then we 576 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 8: have to respond to that, and I haven't been successful, frankly, 577 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 8: in the last few years. We tried some new things 578 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 8: in San Francisco. I mean, part of it was there 579 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 8: was a format issue. There was a huge stoppage of 580 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 8: play in the final. You know, we had this round 581 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 8: robin where you know, there was a celebration around Turner, 582 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 8: which they deserve. But I think the game lost to 583 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 8: aut momentum. So something you've talked a lot about historically 584 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 8: is this USA World concept. And obviously so I watch 585 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 8: what other sports are doing. The NHL had great success 586 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 8: with the four nation face off, so we're looking now 587 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 8: for next year. We'll be in LA we'll be into 588 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 8: a dome where the Olympics are going to take place 589 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 8: in twenty eight and we're going to be on NBC 590 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 8: back to NBC for the All Star Game, and we're 591 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 8: going to be smack in the middle of winter Olympic coverage. 592 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 8: So ever a time to move to USA World, it's now. 593 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 8: What we're toying with now and working with Andrea Gudala 594 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 8: at the Players Association, is what's the right format because 595 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 8: I don't I think straight up USA World probably won't 596 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 8: work because although the number of international players is growing 597 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 8: and its roughly thirty percent of our league right now, 598 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 8: it wouldn't be fair to pick the All Star seventy 599 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 8: percent as one team thirty percent of the other. So 600 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 8: I think we're again playing off what the NHL did. 601 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 8: Maybe there's there's multiple teams, maybe there's more than one 602 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 8: USA team, but we can achieve that concept, and I 603 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 8: think create a sense of nationalism around it, and again 604 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 8: feel like we belong sort of on the Sunday where 605 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 8: it's otherwise Olympic coverage. So I'm hopeful that we can 606 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 8: create something more competitive there. 607 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 2: Do you have your wish list of expansion like the 608 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 2: cities right now. 609 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 8: There's cities we're thinking about. 610 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 2: How many cities would you say are on that wish list? 611 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 8: Well, let me begin by saying it it's not obvious 612 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 8: to me we should expand. I think it's likely over 613 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 8: time we will. And the reason I say it's not 614 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 8: obvious is because as a global business, you know where 615 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 8: something like two billion people will connect with us on 616 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 8: social media, over a billion people over the course of 617 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 8: the year, we'll watch some portion of the game. Adding 618 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 8: another US city, arguably, it's unclear how much growth will 619 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 8: get as a result of that. And when you're adding 620 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 8: expansion franchises, you're diluting their competition two more Let's say 621 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 8: we expand my two teams, two more teams that you 622 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 8: know are going to be competing for those same players, 623 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 8: and you're diluting your economics the extent we have locked 624 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 8: in television money now for the next decade, you have 625 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 8: two more partners. Having said that, I do believe certain 626 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 8: markets potentially can be additive to the NBA, and that's 627 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 8: what we're going to look at. And I think part 628 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 8: of it is geographic. It's a big country, you know, 629 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 8: making sure we're represented, you know, all around the country. 630 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 8: And then over time, maybe there's more we can do 631 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 8: in Canada. And Mexico City is a city we've talked 632 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 8: about before. You know, I don't want to say specific 633 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 8: cities today, just because many have reached out to us 634 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 8: to say they're interested and I and our reaction so 635 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 8: far has been thank you for your interest. We haven't 636 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 8: taken any meetings with any cities. We have a board 637 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 8: meeting in Las Vegas around the Summer League in July. 638 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 8: I know we're going to be talking about it. Then. 639 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,959 Speaker 8: I had been saying for the last several years, let 640 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 8: us get through collective bargaining, which we did, let us 641 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 8: figure out our new media relationships, which we have, and 642 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 8: that would be the time to consider it seriously. So 643 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 8: that's what we're going to do this summer. 644 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 2: But I'm retiring in three years, Commissioner will is what 645 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 2: I'm retiring in three years. Will we have expansion in 646 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 2: three years. 647 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 8: I'm honestly not sure. I okay, I whether if, even 648 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 8: if we were to announce, we're engaged in a process. 649 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 8: It's not clear to me at what moment they would 650 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 8: start playing. But look this, I don't mean to tease 651 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 8: people with this. This is the summer. We're gonna look 652 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 8: at it.

And ever since then, 730 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,839 Speaker 6: I have never lost again at the track. I want 731 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 6: to tell you about my trigger grilled.

With your team down three to nothing, what 757 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:13,400 Speaker 2: were you thinking? 758 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,239 Speaker 4: Well, to be honest with you, that's where the Oilers 759 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 4: seem to thrive. I don't know what it is, but 760 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,839 Speaker 4: this club is not content with prosperity. It loves to 761 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 4: dig itself a hole. Whether it's early in the season 762 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 4: they started zero to three this year, two nine and 763 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 4: one last year, or whether it's in early in games. 764 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 4: And you just had a feeling that if Edmonton got won, 765 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 4: the momentum con turn in a hurry. We've got two 766 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 4: great teams, Dan, I would say through four finals, this 767 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 4: Stanley Cup Final is shaping up is the best in 768 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 4: the history of the sport. And I honestly don't you 769 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 4: know that's not an exaggeration. These two teams are clearly 770 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 4: the best in the National Hockey League. They found an 771 00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 4: extra year, and you know Florida is a worthy champion. 772 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 4: This is now a best of three with two on 773 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 4: Edmonton's tall ice. But I don't think anyone can be 774 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,319 Speaker 4: called a favorite. Not right now. We've had the two 775 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 4: latest game time goals in the history of the final 776 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 4: a week apart. 777 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 2: Also, when we talked about this last week, how important 778 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,840 Speaker 2: is the Cup to Canada? We know it's important to Edmonton, 779 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,600 Speaker 2: is Canada rooting for Edmonton. 780 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 4: Well, I think for years. I think for years Edmonton 781 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:32,719 Speaker 4: has been kind of everyone's second favorite team. 782 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 9: Is you know, passionate fan bases exist in you know, 783 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:40,279 Speaker 9: Toronto and you know, so, I don't know whether the 784 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:44,319 Speaker 9: Leafs are more of a polarizing figure than some of 785 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:48,920 Speaker 9: the other clubs. Edmonton is more you know, I mean Preston, right, 786 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 9: if no one really hates you, or except maybe. 787 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:58,000 Speaker 4: Those who reside in Calgary. Right, It's a bit of 788 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 4: a national team for Patrison in the sense that when 789 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 4: you live in Canada, there's no. 790 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:08,560 Speaker 9: Middle round with the Tonnamically, Edmondson is a little bit 791 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 9: different in the. 792 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,759 Speaker 4: Sense, well, you know, I can live with Edmonson winning 793 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,200 Speaker 4: the Cup. I can't live with Lae winning the cuff. 794 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 2: When you go to overtime, you know that the game 795 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 2: is on somebody's stick there as the play by play voice. 796 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,839 Speaker 2: How do you approach that knowing that it can end 797 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:28,880 Speaker 2: very quickly? 798 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 4: Absolutely, no divergence, no tangents, no you know thoughts that 799 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 4: come to mind. Just button it up and call the game. 800 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:41,239 Speaker 4: And you have to do that. 801 00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,840 Speaker 9: Really with Conor McDavid anyway, I as you can probably 802 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:46,160 Speaker 9: tell them thrown the gab. 803 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 4: I need to button it up all the game because 804 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:50,919 Speaker 4: they could end at any moment.

So I'm part of your 845 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 13: younger demographic and an NBA casualist, I guess I would say, 846 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,920 Speaker 13: And I was curious, so, you know, not knowing too 847 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:25,439 Speaker 13: much about the past eras of players who would be 848 00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,600 Speaker 13: the comps to today's game. It could be like play style, 849 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:31,880 Speaker 13: but it's hard because there's two different games. But like 850 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,919 Speaker 13: who they were in the media, Like who is who 851 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,160 Speaker 13: was Barkley then today? And I guess obviously want to 852 00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 13: be Jordan Lebron, but like try to educate myself more 853 00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 13: on who they were to the game and like in 854 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,000 Speaker 13: the media back then to today's game. 855 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,120 Speaker 2: Some comps there, Huh. I don't think there aren't comps 856 00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:53,600 Speaker 2: for those three. I mean Charles was unique. I mean 857 00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:57,279 Speaker 2: he's more unique now. But as a player, you're just 858 00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:00,960 Speaker 2: you couldn't believe that somebody who's six' five is going 859 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:02,880 Speaker 2: Against shaq and wasn't afraid Of. 860 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 8: Shack. 861 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,120 Speaker 2: Jordan you're watching and you're going, That i've never seen 862 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,520 Speaker 2: anybody like.
