1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Reggie Millner the whole of Famer on the

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: call tonight at the Garden with Marv Albert. Game five

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: Hawks and the Knicks at seven thirty Eastern and could

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: potentially be Marv's last game ever at Madison Square Garden

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 1: with that wonderful career of his. We'll talk about that

7
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: matchup coming up, but we welcome in Redge and we

8
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: start with the Lakers. Yep, how would you sum up

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: the position that they're in right now? Redge? First of all,

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: the Lakers treated that Game five like it was a

11
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: preseason game, and that's sad. I'm disappointed that the Lakers,

12
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: the reigning champs. I know they're down an All Star,

13
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: I know they're down a top ten player, but other

14
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: than the first five to seven minutes when they showed

15
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: a little bit of light, they treated that like it

16
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: was a preseason game. And obviously, you just can't give

17
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: playoff games away, and they absolutely just gave a game away.

18
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: I give credit to Phoenix, they probably played their best

19
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: game of the series shooting the ball wise from everyone,

20
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: but you just can't give games away. And look, they're

21
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: facing a big hole. Can they come back and win

22
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: this series, Absolutely, but they've got to take it. There's

23
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: got to get a sense of urgency. I didn't see

24
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: any sense of urgency whatsoever in the Lakers last night.

25
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: But how do they get to a point where they

26
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: treat it like it's a preseason game, like just this, Hey,

27
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna give you this win. We want to go

28
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 1: back home and hopefully we get Anthony Davis. I mean,

29
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: is that how they viewed this game. I think that's

30
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: exactly how they viewed it. We have reinforcements coming back

31
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: knockout Wood. But people need to understand there's two things

32
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: that are very difficult to play within the game of basketball.

33
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: Are growing injury very difficult because that's your lateral move

34
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: and back injuries because you know everything is done. Your

35
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: back control is just about everything. And I'm sure it

36
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: was very difficult decision for Ad not to play last night,

37
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: but the Lakers played like, Okay, we'll give you guys

38
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: this game. We'll get a ad back went at home,

39
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: and then we'll take our chances here in game seven

40
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: where we want in this place. In Game two, they're

41
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: putting all their eggs in one basket. Assuming that they

42
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: can win two games in a row, and they are

43
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: messing with fire because Chris Paul is hungry. He wants

44
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: to beat his good friend Lebron James Devin Booker. This

45
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: is his first time in the playoffs, and he wants

46
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: to show the world why he's one of the best

47
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: shooting guards on the planet. And this young team is

48
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: getting confidence along the way, and that's why you're messing

49
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: with fire because they've gained their confidence, which was kind

50
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,839
Speaker 1: of snatched from them early on with the Chris Paul

51
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: injury and the way Devin Booker, he hadn't played particularly

52
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: great in this series, had a monster Game one and

53
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: played great last night. But they have confidence now and

54
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: they feel that they're the better team. Even though they're

55
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: the number two seed. They feel that they're the better

56
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: team now. Lakers are in real trouble. What do you

57
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: make of Charles Barkley's nickname for Anthony Davis which I

58
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: didn't hear what it was, Seaton? Will you play it

59
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: for Redge after the Davis? I told you the Lakers

60
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: can't win this this this series. Forget about the championship.

61
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: They can't win this series without street clothes, not even

62
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: I will say this, It takes a lot not to

63
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: play the game of basketball, especially in the playoffs. And

64
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: I missed I think in my career and set and

65
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: you can go back and look at this. I missed

66
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: four playoff games. And I believe it was in ninety six,

67
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: a week before the playoffs were to begin. Otis Thorpe

68
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: broke by orbital fracture. I broke my boat in mid

69
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: He gave me a good fist to the eye going

70
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: for a loose ball and I was out. And in

71
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: that first round matchup it was US versus Atlanta, and

72
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 1: I think I was ten days out from the surgery,

73
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: still seeing double vision, and I wanted to play, but

74
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: there was no way. I just knew, but I said

75
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: I I keep telling people that me at seventy eight

76
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: percent is better than a lot of people at one

77
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: hundred percent. And again, I know growing injuries are very

78
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: difficult to play through, but sometimes just your mere presence

79
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: can uplift your teammates. And I mean, eighty is right.

80
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: And he said this after Game one, when he played

81
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: terrible and had those thirteen or fifteen points. We're not

82
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: going to win a game, let alone a series. If

83
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: I continue to play like that. So again, all the

84
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: eggs are in one basket for the Lakers. They're hoping

85
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: a d comes back at eighty percent seventy percent and

86
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: they could win two games in a row. But I

87
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: like the nickname street Clothes. I probably would have with

88
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: can get right. But we'll find out. How about DAYD

89
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: Davis Anthony Dad Davis? Not bad? Not bad? Yeah, I

90
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: know everyone wants to throw shots again, growing injuries are

91
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: very difficult. If he could play, he could play. It's

92
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: just we've seen this from a d I know he's

93
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: a champion, but any little bump, he goes down, and

94
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: you've got to learn how to play and manage with injuries.

95
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: That's just a part of the game. Everyone at this

96
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: point in time of the season, something's ailing on them.

97
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: So do you have any problem with Lebron checking out

98
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: with five minutes to go go into the locker room? No?

99
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: But what they're down thirty five? Yeah, they're gonna make

100
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: a miraculous comeback. I know, But do you stay there

101
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: with your team? No? I mean, maybe something's ailing on him.

102
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: He's going to go get ice on something. Lebron is

103
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,119
Speaker 1: the best shot for them to move on so maybe

104
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: something that ankle probably got sore. Let me go put

105
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,799
Speaker 1: it in a bucket of ice and let me shift

106
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: all my focus into Game six. I have no problem.

107
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: There's no need for him to be out there and

108
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: see that blood bath. He lived it four about thirty minutes,

109
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: you know, when the baton is passed here redge from

110
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: Lebron to who? Like, who gets the people assume it's

111
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: gonna be a D. But they're the Lakers. I'm sure

112
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: there'll be another superstar on the way here. It'll be

113
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: a D because there's a pecking line and he does

114
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: have a championship the league, not the Lakers. Like the

115
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: face of the league is is who after Lebron Luca?

116
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: I wou though Luca's name out there? Um, I mean

117
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: you you you would think it'd be Kevin Durant. I mean,

118
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: he's to me, the next best player, if not the

119
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: best player. Uh, you know Joe and b has a

120
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: great personality. I mean unique guys that can push the

121
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: league and find those viewers that are just casual viewers.

122
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: Well Lebron, yeah, I don't know if anybody kind of

123
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: fits into that category where you go, oh, I'm going

124
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: to tune in because I want to watch him lose,

125
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: or I'm going to tune in because I want to see,

126
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: you know, him win or see greatness. I mean, I

127
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: would put step In there, but Steph was thirty two,

128
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,679
Speaker 1: thirty three, so you know, I'm talking about the twenty

129
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: year olds. Damian Lillard what he did last night, I

130
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: mean right, he should be a household name, which he

131
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: is a household name for the hardcore basketball fans, but

132
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: for Casuroll fans playing in the Northwest in Portland, not

133
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: the Casuroll faring. They may have heard of Damian Lillard,

134
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,559
Speaker 1: but they don't really know Damian Lillard because he hasn't

135
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,679
Speaker 1: really gone deep in the playoffs like Steph or Lebron.

136
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: What would you do if you're Damian Lillard? Me, You're

137
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna look back on your career and go Hall

138
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 1: of Famer. Unbelievable nights. But is there really a bottom

139
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: line exclamation point with Damian Lillard? Stop it Dan, because

140
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: that's that's me. You can't falter guy for being loyal.

141
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: You know, we kill guys about championships and then we

142
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: kill guys when Kate Kevin durant Ley's Oklahoma City and

143
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: goes to Golden State, we kill him, you know. And

144
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: the small markets they can't compete with the Chicago's, the

145
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: New York's, the LA's, the Golden States. So when you

146
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: get a chance to have an Anthony Davis in New Orleans,

147
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: you just pray and hope that other teams and big

148
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: markets don't come recruiting. So we can't look back at

149
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: Lillard's career and say, oh, I wish you would have

150
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: played in the bigger market. There's nothing wrong with being loyal.

151
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: And you know, people can say, well, you never want

152
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: a championship, rights, yeah I didn't. But sometimes the whole

153
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: point of it's in the struggle, and that's what Lillard

154
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: is in right now. He's in the struggle of trying

155
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: to make a small market team relevant and successful. Yeah,

156
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: but I feel bad for him. It's it's not that

157
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go well, then frame it that way. Don't

158
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 1: frame it as in, oh, we're gonna look back and

159
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: your career meant nothing. It did. No, he's gonna be

160
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. I'm just saying we're gonna look

161
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: back and say, it's like Mike Trout, we're gonna look

162
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: back on Mike Trout or Dan Marino, and we're gonna go, gosh,

163
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: did they surround him with the right people. That's the

164
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: point I'm making with Damian Lodard. I'm not saying he

165
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 1: should say get me out of here, but like, what

166
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: can he do? What does franchise do? Now? It just

167
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: feels like there's a glass ceiling. Well, you hope the

168
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: franchise and the leadership of the franchise says, look, we

169
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: got to get some guys around him. Look, he is

170
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: surrounded by some pretty good players, but he's had some

171
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: bad luck as well. Nurkis missed a ton of games

172
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: this year. McCallum missed a ton of games this year.

173
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: Should they have been a sixth seed? Probably not. They

174
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: should have been a top four seed if those two

175
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: guys play of their games, but they didn't. Zach Collins

176
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: missed all year. I mean, that's a seven footer that can,

177
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: you know, help things, you know, help help them out.

178
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: But look, he's doing everything he possibly can do, and

179
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: I applaud that for a small market. We're talking to

180
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: Reggie Miller, the Hall of Famer, Reggie on the call

181
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: tonight the Knicks in the Hawks. This is must see TV. Yes, well,

182
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: any game you do is must see TV, of course.

183
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: But how do you think the Knicks the Knicks fans

184
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: treat Trey Young when he walks in. Oh well, well

185
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: if games one or two, or in any indications you

186
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: saw kind of the vitriol that was being thrown at Trey. Look,

187
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: he's become the new poster boy here and I think

188
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 1: he has relished and accepted. But I will say this,

189
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 1: there's certain guys that are built for it, and I

190
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: think he wants the moment. He understands they have a

191
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: chance to move on here. But it is going to

192
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: be a very very intense game because the Knicks have

193
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 1: not played great, they have not shot the ball particularly great.

194
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: They're best player. We talked about this, you and I

195
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: all the time to talk about the playoff basketball. How

196
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 1: things get taken away. Julius Reynolds has been exposed a

197
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: little bit in the game. Great regular season, most improved player,

198
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: which you want, But come playoff time, when teams get

199
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: a chance to scout you. If watch a videotape of you,

200
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: they always take away your three best plays. Well what

201
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: do you have left in your bag? And right now

202
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: we're seeing it there's not a lot of left in

203
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: the bag. So he has to play better. RJ. Barrett

204
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: has to play better. You can't have and God bless

205
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: him because to this day he's my favorite player. And

206
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: I've said this when he was at the height of

207
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: his power, when he went through the depths of all

208
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: his injuries. Derek Rose cannot be your best player in

209
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: these playoffs, which he has been for the Knicks. You know,

210
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: he just can't beat your best player. And Barrett randall

211
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: that youth. They've got to show up, which I think

212
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: they will. I think they win tonight here and they

213
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: forced the game six. You were on the call with

214
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: the Russell Westbrook situation with the Wizards and seventy six ers,

215
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: And of course I don't know if in your mind

216
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: in the moment you're thinking about the Malice and the Palace,

217
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: because you were knee deep in that as well and

218
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: had a front row seat to that. But is it

219
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: fans or fan that we have to be concerned about here? Well,

220
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: isn't that almost one and the same? Well, it could

221
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: be one person, Like I don't know the building. I

222
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: don't know if if there's certain buildings where you go.

223
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: It's just that's a bad situation to go into. Or

224
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: you have some idiot who wants to run on the

225
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: floor and tap the backboard. I will say, but here's

226
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: the thing. That idiot did not come to that game alone.

227
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: That idiot had to have discussions with whoever he came

228
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 1: to that game. He didn't just get up in the

229
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: middle of the game and said look around and just

230
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: run out there. He had to have discussions that he

231
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,479
Speaker 1: was going to do this. I just think it's unfortunate

232
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: now that we've we've finally gotten the inner back in

233
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: the buildings by letting fans back in, that we've had

234
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: these incidents occur. And I'm just telling you, if roles

235
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: were reversed, if Kyrie had run up into the stands

236
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: and punch that guy wearing the Kevin Garden jersey, I

237
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: mean all hell would be breaking loose on networks like this,

238
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: I shows and podcasts like this. The league has to

239
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: do a better job. What is banning a fan from

240
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: an arena. I don't understand that what that entails. You

241
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: can't tell me that that fan can't get a ticket

242
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: from a secondary person and show up in that building.

243
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: How are you ever going to know if he's in

244
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: that building or not banned from it? What does that mean? No,

245
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: you need you got to go after their wallets. Name

246
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: these guys put their faces everywhere like you would do

247
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: the players, find out where they work. You have to

248
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: go after their wallets, prosecute them. That's how you make

249
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: it heard. Banning them from an arena? What does that do?

250
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: What does that mean? If I'm bad from arena and

251
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: you and I want to go see the Knicks play,

252
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: I said, hey, Dan, just go buy the tickets and

253
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: I'll go with you. I'll put a hat on, I'll

254
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: put a faith How are they ever gonna know other

255
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: than I'm six seven? Well, you know the Trey Young

256
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,479
Speaker 1: situation where somebody would spit on you that in today's

257
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: age of COVID, right, and I know we're on our

258
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: way out of this thing, but you actually spit What

259
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: are you thinking? Know that is discussing seriously? I mean

260
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: it's sad and and you know you're I'm asking a

261
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: twenty two year old to be the bigger man here

262
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: and Trey wasn't going to press charges, but you know

263
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: it's just sad. Has he ever been named? Do we

264
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: know who that person is? Do they ever show him.

265
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: See that's the point. If Trey wont tray, you ever

266
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: want to turn around and knock that dude out, it

267
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: would be on a loop. That would be on a loop.

268
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: I don't know how you guys. And and the NBA

269
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: is different than any other sport because those fans can

270
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: actually touch you, like when you're out of bounds throwing

271
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: the ball in bounds, I could reach out and touch you. Yes,

272
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: they can say things, they can throw things. You hear

273
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: everything there. I don't. And I'll also say this fans,

274
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: and I hope this happens. I think we're better than this.

275
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: They need to start policing each other too. Fans need

276
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: to start policing one another. No, you can't say that,

277
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: cut that out or usher. Come get this guy. He

278
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: is saying and doing things that are inappropriate. They need

279
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: to start policing themselves. Are you gonna walk around New York?

280
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: Are you okay with walking around New York? I'm thinking

281
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: about going out to get in a late breakfast. Here.

282
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: I'm staying somewhere. You guys know this area, well, is

283
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: it called the Hudson Yards? Oh yeah, okay, we're staying

284
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: down by the Hudson Yards, nice area. So I think

285
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: I think I can go out. Yeah, I think I'm

286
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: gonna try and go off for a late lunch. Okay.

287
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: The good thing about it is everyone has to wear

288
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: face coverings now, so they won't know who I am,

289
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: So I'm kind of good. Why don't you wear your

290
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: Why don't you wear your pacer warm ups and just

291
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: walk out? Do a funnier die where you just walk

292
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: around and just like people's reaction. Go to a local court. Okay,

293
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: that'd be pretty funny. Like I think I did see

294
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: a basketball court somewhere around here and guys playing. I

295
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: might just go show up, you see, if anyone wants

296
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: to play any horse. But do you think it'll be

297
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: like Barkley in that commercial for Capital One where he's

298
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: he's not gonna he's not sure if he's gonna be

299
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: the first draft pick with those little kids, Like what

300
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: happens if you go out there and then you're not

301
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: the first pick. I would be devastating. I don't don't

302
00:17:53,359 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: you know who I am? Yeah? There his name? Do

303
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: you mean I was on your wall? When I wasn't

304
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: when you were a kid? Do you get booed in

305
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 1: the Garden when you get boot to Oh, they're gonna

306
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: kill me. They are going to kill me, and I'm

307
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: going to love it. I Am going to actually love it.

308
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: But look, I'm more excited to be working alongside the Gun.

309
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: That's why I'm doing this game. This is all about Marv.

310
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: I can care less about what the fans are gonna

311
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: say to me. I want him to have potentially this

312
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: could be his last game in the Garden. I want

313
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: him to have a great send off because this has

314
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: been the greatest play by play man the game has

315
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: ever seen. He worked for the Knicks. I think he

316
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: deserves a great send off, and that's why they have

317
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: sent in the heavy guns to do this game. So

318
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: I'm excited about it. Twenty seven years ago yesterday, you

319
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: know what you did against the Knicks. I hope we

320
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: want a game you had twenty five in the fourth quarter.

321
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: That was that game. That was the chokes sign. That

322
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: was the spike lead choke Son, That's where it all started.

323
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: Thirty nine points, no turnovers because I wasn't gonna pass

324
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: the ball, but there was no turnovers. Who do you

325
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: want me to pass it to the South Palmson? No,

326
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: Damn Mitchell no, who I'm gonna pass the ball? To

327
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: come to think of it, you didn't have any shooters

328
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: on that You were the only shooter that was yes.

329
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: But we had a squad though, my Davis boys, Rick Smiths.

330
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: We were ready, We were ready. It was it was

331
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: a magical time because we had two cities that didn't

332
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: really like one another, that hated one another. Yeah, two

333
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: coaches that didn't get along, and Pat Rowley and Larry

334
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: Brown they didn't get along. And it kind of filtered

335
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 1: down to the players love John Starks now but couldn't

336
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: stand him. Charles Oakley was a great friend of mine.

337
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: The couldn't stand them during the series. So do you

338
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: remember you threw the ball at the end of the game,

339
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: threw it down, spiked it and it goes into the stands.

340
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: Danna watch You're held onto that ball, you know, Polly

341
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: see if you can find that basketball for Rentrick Okay

342

355
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: that they're out of the playoffs. Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting

356
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: Brad Stevens is no longer the head coach of the Celtics.

357
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: He's moving into the front office on a full time basis,

358
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: replacing Danny Ainge. Celtics staff and coaches have been informed

359
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: of the changes. The Celtics are now looking for a

360
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: new head coach, springing the Hall of Famer two time

361
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: NBA champ Chris Bosh. But to talk to you again, Chris,

362
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: how are you? I'm doing good man, Good to see you.

363
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: Everything is, Everything's going well. How's the jumper right now? Man?

364
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: You know it is rusty. I haven't shot a jumper

365
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: in a while. How long did it take you to

366
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 1: get used to your role with the Heat because you

367
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: were you were All Star in Toronto, you put up

368
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: big numbers, and then now you gotta be the third guy. Yeah,

369
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 1: and it's not as easy as it looks. I didn't

370
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: get used to it, probably until we finally won the

371
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: first championship, and then it was always one of those

372
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: things where you know, I constantly had to reinvent myself.

373
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: I don't think I ever all the way got used

374
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: to it because I had to morph, you know, and

375
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: even on some nights, you know, it would change, so

376
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: you know, bron or d might be out and I

377
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: have to you know, my scoring. Some nights I would

378
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: just set screens and be the big guy rolling down

379
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: the paint and playing defense. Some days would just be

380
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: you know, we need you to guard the biggest guy

381
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: and guard fifty screening rolls, and you know, that was

382
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: one of the fascinating things I found from being with

383
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: that team. But I would say in in you know,

384
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: just getting used to being uncomfortable. It definitely took more

385
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: than one season, I would say a season and a

386
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: half to kind of really fit into my role. And

387
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: then even after that, I had to get used to

388
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: things changing. Lebron ever really get mad at you? Oh,

389
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure, I'm sure. I mean, you know, that's Uh,

390
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: that's one of the parts of playing game, right, If

391
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: you're on a team with somebody, you're gonna go through

392
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: the whole wave of emotions. And I'm sure you know, Uh,

393
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: he was upset with me. I'm for sure it was

394
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: upset with him on meny occasions. But we were always

395
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: able to work it out, you know, work with communication

396
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: and and it always came from a place to get better.

397
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: That that's what made it important. What do you make

398
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: of what happened with the Celtics? Here's Angel, you know,

399
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: leaving Brad Stevens moving up you have I thought you

400
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 1: had a team that could win championships plural here with

401
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: that young talent and that you know, that window of

402
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: opportunity closes pretty quickly. Look at what the Nets have

403
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: there in Brooklyn. So you're not going to be better

404
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: than them. You're not better than the Sixers. So how

405
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: would you how would you look at the Celtics right now? Well,

406
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: they don't have to rebuild, you know, with Tatum and Brown,

407
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: Marcus Smart, they have good young talent, They have a nucleus.

408
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: I think that they can build off of. I think

409
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: definitely this year was a disappointment. I think they'll be

410
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: the first to tell you that they definitely underachieved this

411
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: year and then injuries started piling up and it ended

412
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: up being a disappointing season for him. But with the

413
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: talent that they have, they have to continue. I guess

414
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: you know, there were some things to figure out, obviously, right,

415
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: But I think for them moving forward, they need to

416
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: put the necessary pieces in place in order to be successful. Obviously, right,

417
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: But I mean they're right there. They have to continue

418
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: to get better. Obviously, there there's been a huge shakeup.

419
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see who who will be the next

420
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: hires for coaches and gems and stuff like that and

421
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: filling in the rest of the gaps with the team,

422
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: your best Miami Heat team against this Brooklyn Nets team,

423
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: who would win? Yeah, Oh, you know, I'm a competitor, man.

424
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: I always say we're gonna win every single time. But

425
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: I tell you, man, those the Nets, the more they

426
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: play together, they'll get better and better. They're they're tremendous

427
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: offensive team. So you got to Durant, right, you get

428
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: you get Durant I mean we probably move around. I

429
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: would guard him a little, of course, or try to.

430
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: Brin would guard him mostly. Probably Shane Battier would guard

431
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,719
Speaker 1: him quite a bit. But yeah, that would be the

432
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: fun part when they go small and how how dynamic

433
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: the game would become and how we try to match

434
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: up with that. What's the most impressive performance that you

435
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: ever witnessed, whether it was on you know, with a

436
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: teammate or the opposition. Uh, Kobe scoring eighty one points? Oh? Um? Yeah,

437
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: I was in there. I was a young fellow in

438
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: that game taking my beatings. Man. But what's that like? Though?

439
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: When do you realize, oh this is historical? Yeah, it

440
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: was surreal. I mean, um, you when once you realize

441
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: it's too late and it's and it's Kobe. And I

442
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: remember just kind of running down the court and I

443
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 1: kept looking up at the screen and it's like his

444
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: score was multiplying. I was like, how does he scoring

445
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: five points at a time? Like this is crazy? And

446
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: it was you know, we were a bad defensive team

447
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: that year, and you know we were trying to right,

448
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: We're trying to figure things out, and it's just like,

449
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: oh my god, we're in the stable center they're killing us,

450
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: and everybody's laughing and Koe, everybody except Kobe. He's just

451
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: got the eye of Tiger right now. And he was unstoppable.

452
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: It was It was just an incredible performance. It's one

453
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: of those things where you find yourself watching even though

454
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: you're in the game. Do you think he could have

455
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: scored one hundred? Yeah? Yeah, he's one of those guys. Yeah,

456
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 1: I was so. The funny thing about that story is,

457
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: like I think a month before, a few weeks before,

458
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: he had sixty one and three quarters on the Mavericks

459
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: and I was looking at that game. I said, what

460
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: in the world are they doing? How do you let

461
00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:00,120
Speaker 1: this guy score sixty points in three quarters? That's atrocious?

462
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: Got smashed. Yeah, it was crazy. Man. I feel bad

463
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: for Jalen Rose. Whenever the anniversary comes up, everybody wants

464
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: to talk to Jalen because Jalen was guarding, well, trying

465
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: to guard Kobe in that game. Yeah. Yeah, he got

466
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: a he got a nice chunk of those those points. Man.

467
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: Kobe gave it to everybody. Man, what was his second

468
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: best performance you ever witnessed? Uh lebron Um Game six

469
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: in Boston in two thousand and twelve by far. What

470
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: were his incredible What were his numbers in that? Do

471
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: you remember it? I can't remember. I know we have

472
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: I think I want to say forty five. Yeah, I

473
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: once say you have forty five points. But I remember, um,

474
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: I had a I had a sort growing and of

475
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: course being down three two going into Boston Garden, you know,

476
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: it's it's not in a situation you want to be in.

477
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,719
Speaker 1: And I just remember him being pretty confident and I was,

478
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: I was ailing, I had I had a hurt growing.

479
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to figure out how I'm just even

480
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: going to contribute, and so I'm playing with Paine, and

481
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: about midway through the second quarter, early in the second quarter,

482
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: I was realizing, like, man, this this dude hasn't missed yet.

483
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: And so I just just got the hell out the way.

484
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: And it made my job a little easier because I'm like, hey,

485
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: if we get if we keep getting stopped, just give

486
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: the ball to him and we'll just continue riding this way.

487
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: But it was an incredible performance. Why do you think

488
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: Paul Pierce doesn't like Lebron I don't think it's that

489
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: that he doesn't like them. I think it's just you know,

490
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: extreme competitors. There's bad blood though, Chris, there's oh yeah,

491
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: of course. I mean, look, you know playoffs you play.

492
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: When you play somebody so many times in the playoffs

493
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: like they did, you're naturally just not gonna like them.

494
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: You know, you don't have time to go to dinner

495
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: or sit down, you know. Um, there's been plenty of

496
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: Celtics that I don't like, you know, and uh, that's

497
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: just that's just how it goes. But Paul, he's he's

498
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: a you know, he's a huge editor. Um, he wants

499
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: to win and if he doesn't, he's probably not in

500
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: the best mood. Who who do you not like to

501
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: this day? No, well, you know there's nothing over. Nothing

502
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: is blaed over. You know, it's all good Man probably retired.

503
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: You know, you're good with Kevin Garnan. Yeah, that's what

504
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,239
Speaker 1: we were. Um, we were talking at the Hall of

505
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: Fame after his induction. We got the chat and you know,

506
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: I've we like I said, we were extremely competitive and

507
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: we were churched back and forth. But um, that was

508
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: one of the best parts about um being outside of

509
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: the game is having the conversations. And that's the first

510
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: thing I said to Kevin. I'm like, yo, you remember

511
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: you used to file me the call it, you know,

512
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: But we had a good time talking about those intense battles,

513
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. KG would get in anybody's face.

514
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: It felt like, oh man, I had to stop talking

515
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: to him. I stopped talking him, you know, during the

516
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: game I got I got involved in talking trash with

517
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: him one time, and he got the best of me,

518
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: and I said, you know what, that's never gonna happen again.

519
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: I overextended myself. I'm not a trash talker. Let me

520
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: just go out here and play ball. We're talking to

521
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: Chris Bosh, who is going to be inducted into the

522
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. Uh one. A couple of titles, and

523
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: he's got a new book out. It's called Letters to

524
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: a Young Athlete, now available online and wherever books are sold.

525
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: What were you hoping to accomplish when you first started

526
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: this project? You know, at first it was just more

527
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: of a cathartic experience. Um, you know, just trying to

528
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: get things off of my chest and trying to figure

529
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: out what I'm gonna do next with my life, you know,

530
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: after losing the game so quickly and not being able

531
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: to play anymore because of my medical condition. You know,

532
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: I kind of had to rebound pretty quick. And you know,

533
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: in in trying to develop new habits and dive into

534
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: those hobbies that I love and really really dig deep

535
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: and try to find those things, I was just trying

536
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: to get things off my mind. And then it kind

537
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: of transferred into or transformed into, you know, helping a

538
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: young athlete. The book is called Letters to a Young Athlete.

539
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: So I wanted to speak to all generations, of course,

540
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: but have that universal message to where you know, people

541
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: can take it whatever they want for themselves, look at

542
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: the lessons that helped me get to this point today,

543
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: and you know, hopefully it'll help them. So that's kind

544
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: of how everything transformed. I wanted to leave a memento,

545
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: if you will, for both the game of basketball in

546
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: the game of life. Were what kind of risk were you?

547
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: Like at at worst, you know, were you risking your

548
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,719
Speaker 1: life not knowing it when you're out on the floor.

549
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: It didn't get to that point. I was the first time.

550
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: You know, there were two conditions that happened with me,

551
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: two instances. The first time I was and you know,

552
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: I didn't know it, and then after to that. You know,

553
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: pretty much when you get that second blood clot there's

554
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: nothing else to talk about. You know, it's almost like

555
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: your radioactive. So you know, playing basketbaball pretty much was nuts.

556
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: Uh in my best interest, I was told, was in

557
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: my family's best interest in pretty much, you know, a

558
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: team being um in a situation where they could be liable,

559
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: you know, they were not going to uh, you know,

560
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: deal with those things. And I eventually had to come

561
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: to that realization. Yeah, it's gotta be tough because you

562
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: want to play, but you have to understand and that

563
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: that team done once you out there. I mean, we've

564
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: seen this happen with Hank Gathers, Reggie I mean, there

565
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: there's bit athletes who passed away right in front of us, absolutely,

566
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: and um, even the week before I was hospitalized for

567
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: the first time, Jerome Kersey passed away from a blood

568
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: clot um, you know, from a pulmonary embolism. And you

569
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: know that that really I mean, you know, when you're younger, right,

570
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: you don't think of those things. You don't think it's

571
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,239
Speaker 1: gonna happen to you. And then you know, next thing

572
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: I know, I'm in a doctor's office and they're telling

573
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: me all this information that I don't want to hear,

574
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: and you know, I have to rebound from that. But

575
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: all in all, I was able to kind of get

576
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: back to my normal self with the help of my family,

577
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: going those on those quests to find out who I

578
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: am and what I want to do with this life.

579
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: I'll leave you with this finish the sentence. If the

580
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: Lakers don't get out of the first round, expect them

581
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: to make some big moves in the summertime. I think, um,

582
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: you know, they've just it's been a rough go at

583
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: it this year. They've been hampered by injuries. I think,

584
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, we all see that they're not playing like

585
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: they were last year. And even for Brian, I mean, he's, um,

586
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: you know, he struggled especially. I think that high ankle strength,

587
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: I'm high ankle spring took him out of his rhythm.

588
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: I think for them, they'll have to add some more

589
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: pieces and and you know, try to compete for a

590
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: championship again next year. But you were talking about playing

591
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: that game in the garden with they groin, and I

592
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: mean Adie wasn't able to play. But just how limited

593
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: are you were you with an injury like that it's

594
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 1: all the way limiting. And this is me um. When

595
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: I when I tore my inductor muscle, that's pretty much

596
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: what it was. And uh, it was on Mother's Day

597
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: and it was game one of the second round. I

598
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: tore it. I tore it, and I didn't come back

599
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: until the longest or the shortest I could rest was

600
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: three weeks and it hurt like hell still coming back.

601
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 1: So in ady situation, I don't I really don't see

602
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: him being able to come back from that. He'll, you know,

603
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: he'll have to rest and he won't play till next season.

604
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: Most likely he's Chris Bosh. The new book is Letters

605
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: to a Young Athlete. Can't recommend it enough, now available

606
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: online wherever books are sold. I hope you're doing well, Chris.

607
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,759

Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcast. Been a

623
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,280
Speaker 1: busy day here Boston Celtics and big changes. Danny Ainge

624
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:53,280
Speaker 1: is out, I guess by his own choice, and Brad

625
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: Stevens no longer the head coach by his choice. He's

626
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 1: now moving into the front office at the right poled

627
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: age of forty four, he stopped coaching. You got one

628
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: of the great coaches, young coaches, and he's moving into

629
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 1: the front office. We'll talk to Chris Mannox about these

630
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: moves with the Boston Celtics. Yes time, I thought the

631
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 1: whole reason that we shouldn't consider him for those big

632
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 1: college head coaching jobs because he's going to be the

633
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: long time the head NBA coach man nothing about an

634
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 1: executive office position. Some of the headlines here Nets close

635
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: out the Celtics, Nuggets up three two on the Blazers,

636
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: fifty five for Damian Lillard in the losing effort. Suns

637
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: roll the Lakers to up three two with no Anthony Davis.

638
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: By the way, the thirty point loss was a season

639
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: worse for the Lakers, fourth time since Lebron joined the team,

640
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: la is lost by at least thirty It was also

641
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: the Lakers' worst postseason loss since the twenty thirteen playoffs,

642
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 1: when they were blown out by the San Antonio Spurs.

643

650
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 1: little bit. Reggie Miller was with us in the first

651
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: hour and he had something really interesting to say about

652
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: the Lakers performance last night. And Regg didn't mince words

653
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: here he is earlier in the show. How would you

654
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: sum up the position that they're in right now? Regg.

655
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: First of all, the Lakers treated that Game five like

656
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: it was a preseason game, and that's sad. I'm disappointed

657
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: that the Lakers the ringing champs. I know they're down

658
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: an All Star, I know they're down a top ten player,

659
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: but other than the first five to seven minutes when

660
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: they showed a little bit of life, they treated that

661
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: like it was a preseason game. And obviously, you just

662
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: can't give playoff games away, and they absolutely just gave

663
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: a game away. I give credit to Phoenix, they probably

664
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 1: played their best game of the series shooting the ball

665
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 1: wise from everyone, but you just can't give games away.

666
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: And look, they're facing a big hole. Can they come

667
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 1: back and win this series, Absolutely, but they've got to

668
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 1: take it. There's gotta beet a sense of urgency. I

669
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 1: didn't see any sense of urgency whatsoever in the Lakers

670
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: last night. Yeah, it's almost like, hey, this is on

671
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: the schedule, we have to play them. Let's sort of

672
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: get in and get out and hopefully nobody else gets

673
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: hurt except for their feelings. And then you head back

674
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: home and hopefully you get Anthony Davis for Game six,

675
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: and if there is a Game seven, Chris Mannix joining

676
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: us on short notice. The Sports Illustrated NBA senior writer

677
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 1: with the big news with the Boston Celtics, Danny Ainge

678
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: stepping down, Brad Stevens moving up. What is going on

679
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: in Boston? Chris Well? The decision by Danny Ainge to

680
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,959
Speaker 1: step down is not surprising. It's been in the water

681
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: supply Dan for the last few months that Ainge was

682
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 1: considering stepping away, strongly considering stepping away. He's been the

683
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 1: top basketball executive since two thousand and three, and frankly,

684
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: there's a shelf life for jobs like these. You get

685
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: a little bit burnt out doing jobs like these for

686
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: one specific franchise, and I think Danny had reached his limit.

687
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: His legacy in Boston is completely secure. He won a

688
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: championship pending a twenty plus year drought. He orchestrated arguably

689
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: the biggest heist in NBA trade history with what he

690
00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: did with that deal with Brooklyn, and this season, notwithstanding

691
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: the way it ended, the Celtics a pretty well set up.

692
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: I mean, Jason Tatum is an MVP candidate Jaylen Brown

693
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: is a first time All Star. They've got a good

694
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:13,439
Speaker 1: mix of young players that comprise a pretty solid young core,

695
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: so he's leaving the Celtics in pretty good shape now.

696
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: The decision to hire Brad Stevens as President of Basketball

697
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: Operations is mind boggling. Like Brad Stevens is I think

698
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: a top five coach in the NBA. As we've seen

699
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: countless times, that does not always mean you are a

700
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: great basketball executive. Pat Riley was able to do it,

701
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: a handful of others have been able to do it.

702
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: But hiring Brad Stevens as the head coach or as

703
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: the basically the fact OGM is wild to me. It

704
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: really is, especially Dan when you consider it against the

705
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: back drop of who the Celtics had a shot at,

706
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: and that's Sam Presty in Oklahoma City. Sam Presti is

707
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: widely regard as top two, top three, maybe number one

708
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: GM and all of basketball. He's also from Concord, Massachusetts.

709
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:16,240
Speaker 1: He played his college basketball at Emerson in downtown Boston,

710
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: and like Danny Ainge, Sam Presti could have been looking

711
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 1: for other opportunities. Presty has been the GM in Oklahoma

712
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 1: City so long they were the Sonics when he first

713
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:30,280
Speaker 1: took over, so he could be looking around at different options,

714
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: and to not even gauge his interest in that job

715
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 1: is tantamount to basketball moultpractice. It really is. I am

716
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,959
Speaker 1: the biggest fan of Brad Stevens as a head coach.

717
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: I have vociferously defended him over the years against kind

718
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: of people attacking him for different things. You know how

719
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: he's coached the team and the team tuning him out.

720
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: The idea that you hire Brad Stevens as your back

721
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 1: top basketball exact and not make it run at Sam

722
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: Presty is shocking to me. Okay, but who allowed this?

723
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: Why Brad Stevens is giving up coaching at age forty four. Well, well,

724
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: Brad Stevens can always go back to coaching. It's not

725
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: like it's not. His rep reputation is not damaged at

726
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: any point. If Brad Stevens was a coaching free agent

727
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: right now, you'd have a handful of teams firing their

728
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: coaches to get their hands on him. It is. It

729
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: hasn't ticket hit. He's He's never going back to college basketball.

730
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: I swear to God. If somebody commits one more TV

731
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: radio segment of that They're insane. He's not doing it ever, ever, ever. OK,

732
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: But why did they allow this to happen in the

733
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 1: Celtics organization that the best guy you can get to

734
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 1: coach is now going to be You're he's going to

735
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,800
Speaker 1: be searching for a coach. Well, I think Danny Ainge

736
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 1: played a big part in this, in organizing his line

737
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: of succession. This didn't happen Dan overnight. Where you know,

738
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 1: Brad went to management after the NET series and said,

739
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 1: you know what, I kind of want to do something different.

740
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: This has been in the works for a while, so

741
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: you know it's been carefully planned and mapped out for

742
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: a long time. Remember Danny, Danny's got some skin in

743
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 1: the game here in that Selfics organization quite literally. His

744
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: son is one of the basketball executives with that team Austin.

745
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: He's got a long relationship with guys like Mike Zarin

746
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: and assistant GM Dave Lewin, who runs the scouting department. Like,

747
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: I think it's a part of Danny that wanted to

748
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: make sure his guys were taken care of. So I

749
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: think he played a role in this and the ownership

750
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: which just recently gave Brad Stevens a new long term contract,

751
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: loves the guy. So yeah, we've seen familiarity play a

752
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: big role in jobs like this getting filled. I just

753
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 1: think it's can't I can't underscore this enough. Dan, like

754
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 1: Sam Pretty's out there, He's out there. He has set

755
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 1: up Oklahoma City as well as you can set them

756
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 1: up for the future. Seventeen first round draft picks, eighteen

757
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: second round draft picks through twenty twenty seven. The line

758
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: of succession in Oklahoma City is right there. Rob Henigan

759
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,359
Speaker 1: is a former GM in Orlando, longtime right hand man

760
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: for Presty is there to be elevated as GM. How

761
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 1: do you not call this guy? How do you not

762
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 1: make a run at arguably the best GM at all

763
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: of basketball. I don't understand it. It completely blows my mind.

764
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: Talking to Chris Manning's the senior NBA writer for Sports Illustrated.

765
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: So who do the Celtics hire to be their next

766
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: head coach? I have absolutely no idea because Brad Stevens,

767
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: he doesn't have like a coaching lineage like you can say,

768
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: does he look to his own staff and bring in

769
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 1: jay Laronega, who has been a coaching candidate in the

770
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: past and excellent basketball in mind. Scott Morrison, who coached,

771
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: has a head coach in the G League and excellent

772
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: basketball mind. They've got smart guys on their staff. But

773
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: I would bet that given the way the last few

774
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 1: seasons have kind of played out, there's a desire to

775
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 1: bring in a new voice, somebody different, to take over

776
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: Tatum and Brown and those guys and try to take

777
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,800
Speaker 1: them to the next level. But I have no idea,

778
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,320
Speaker 1: like nobody has any idea like what who Brad Stevens

779
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: likes as a head coach, who he might hire, what

780
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: ranks he might dip into. It's a total blank slate

781
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: when it comes to Brad Stevens as a basketball executive.

782
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us on short note, as Chris, we

783
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 1: appreciate your time and love your passion. I'm very upset

784
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: right now, Dan, It's gonna come across in the digital

785
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: ink that I'm gonna spill in the next few hours. Yeah,

786
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: but your Phoenix Suns got the win last night. Oh yes,

787
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:33,879
Speaker 1: now we're talking a get that audio, Seaton. Yeah, that's

788
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: what I thought. You always save the bad stuff, bring

789
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 1: on the good stuff. A Manning. No, no, no, they

790
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 1: have to win this series, not win last night. They

791
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: have to win the series. Chris, all right, Well, if

792
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,399
Speaker 1: they win that series, the T shirt has to Spain

793
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: is stacked. I'm gonna change if your sons are good,

794
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna thank you. Christ. That's Chris Mannings

795
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:01,240
Speaker 1: Mannix is a former Celtic ball boy. And there's there's

796
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:06,479
Speaker 1: passion in his voice, there's anger, he's upset. Yes, McLevin, Okay,

797
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: I just throw out their quick question. Does coaching still

798
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 1: matter in the NBA? Based on the fact that Frank

799
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: Vogel won it last year and Lebron wow lad on

800
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: the court, it doesn't matter who they bring in. They

801
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 1: need the right personnel. Well, you have to have talent.

802
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: I don't think you you you win by out coaching people.

803
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,720
Speaker 1: I think there are moments when you need a coach

804
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: who's able to design something, uh, you know, offensively or defensively.

805
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,919
Speaker 1: But you do need great players to win a championship. Yeah,

806
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: but remember all the hubbaloo when the Brooklyn Nets hired

807
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 1: Steve Nashman no experience. What difference did it make? They

808
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: have hardened Ran and Irving Todd could coach them to

809
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 1: the finals. I mean he was brought in his famous

810
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: triangle and two a couple of rounds. Anyway, I don't

811
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: know if I get him all the way to the

812
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 1: The other question, it's like who are the elite coaches now?

813
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 1: Like Popovich is nearing in the end, Like who are

814
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 1: the guys? Like if someone asked you, who's a great coach?

815
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 1: Like jumps to mind, Well, Nick Nurse was a great

816
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: coach and then he apparently wasn't a great coach. I

817
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: don't I don't know. Steve Kerr is still a great coach. Right, Uh,

818
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: there's there's you know, great coaches, they're just not as known.

819
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: They don't have the resumes that some of these other

820
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 1: you know, their predecessors. You know, pat Riley's resume, Popovich's resume.

821
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:25,360
Speaker 1: I mean that's pretty impressive. You're not gonna find somebody

822
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 1: who's able to kind of live up to that. Steve

823
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:30,839
Speaker 1: Kerr is close to doing that. But you know, there's

824
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 1: there's a lot of young basketball minds all right, age

Speaker 1: seven seven three d P show email address DP at

826
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 1: dan Patrick dot com. Do you have an update on

827
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: the poll results in Club? Yeah? Who's who would you

828
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 1: rather be? Damian Lillard or Anthony Davis. I find this unfair.

829
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 1: It seventy one percent, say Damian Lillard. But you're always

830
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: going to pick the guard over the big band anyway.

831
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 1: Even if Anthony Davis wasn't street clothes today, I still

832
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: think you'd rather be the flashy guard. Well wait, are

833
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: you ask people who they would rather be? Yeah? The

834
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:05,280
Speaker 1: sense the sense of like Anthony Davis has a title,

835
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: but he's not super cool to fun to watch, like

836
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard necessarily. I mean he has a fun player

837
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 1: to watch, but not like the outside threat. Well if

838
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:18,359
Speaker 1: if ad had a triple double last night and they won,

839
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: would people look at this differently? I don't know if

840
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: they would or not. It's the big guy thing you don't.

841
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: You don't the big guys, never who you fantasize about being,

842
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: because you can't be that guy. Um. Kentucky Derby winner

843
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: Medina's Spirit faces disqualification after his second failed drug test.

844
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: Oh my god, we've been how long have we been

845
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 1: waiting for this? New York Times confirmed that the horse

846
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 1: had a positive another positive test. Let me see, so

847
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: it's takes this long to get a second test from

848
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: the Kentucky Derby. Could you imagine if this horse had

849
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 1: won the Preakness and we have the Belmont coming up,

850
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:17,959
Speaker 1: Oh my god. All right, yeah, Paul, I'm worried about

851

852
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:24,760
Speaker 1: pop for drug use. This could be a gateway drug

853
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: for that horse. Lack of structure, you know, summer hanging

854
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: out with the wrong crowd and the stables all of

855
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: a sudden going into another stable, the stables on the

856
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:34,800
Speaker 1: wrong side of the tracks. Yeah, yeah, that's what happens,

857
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 1: you know, horse the intervention. Yeah, some horseplay a right.

858
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: How do you boost a horse of spirits after they

859
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 1: have considered cheetas? What do you do? I don't know.

860
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: Maybe it's artificial, Maybe you know, it's pharmaceuticals. Here, poor guy,

861
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: he didn't know he did anything wrong. He didn't do

862
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 1: anything wrong. Is Bob Badford put out a statement here?

863

880
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 1: And Uh, if Jordan ever went to the Chicago Bulls

882
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:14,040

Speaker 1: he would have got one? What do you think? I

884
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: have no idea? You maybe he would have gotten one

885
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:26,760
Speaker 1: or two? Maybe? Yeah, you go back to when Jordan

886
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:32,399
Speaker 1: laughed and remember Pippin took them to what did they

887
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 1: go to? They almost went to the Eastern Conference finals

888
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 1: without Jordan. That was the Hugh Hollands call I think,

889
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:45,280
