1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: Sports Radio Hour two on this Tuesday, Dan and the 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: Danette Stan Patrick Show. Fritzie just corrected me. NBA MVP 4 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: voting ended last night at eleven fifty nine Eastern. Thank 5 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: you Todd for keeping me straight here. I was wondering 6 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 1: where Steph Curry is going to end up in the 7 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: MVP race. The Joker's going to win, Greek Freak's going 8 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: to be there, Joel and Bead will be there. I 9 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: think Chris Paul and Steph Curry might be splitting some votes. 10 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 1: I think people looking at those two and saying, you 11 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: know what, they provided a lot of value, but the 12 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: other players were probably better players. Chris Paul did what 13 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 1: you want a valuable player to do. He came in 14 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: and he was a true leader and overachieved. I mean, 15 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: at this age to be doing what he's doing at 16 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: that position, pretty remarkable. Steph, Steph hit the you know, 17 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: the rewind machine, the way back machine to twenty fifteen. 18 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if he had a run back then 19 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: when he won back to back MVPs, but that was 20 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: any better than what he did in a like a 21 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 1: twenty game stretch. This season and his team is in 22 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: the play in tournament, And before you go, well, there's 23 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: no chance that the Lakers are going to lose. Yeah, 24 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: there is a chance. There's always a chance, and we 25 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: put ourselves in a corner where we go, there's that 26 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: team has no chance, that player has no chance. Yes 27 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: they do. The Warriors have a chance to pull off 28 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: a surprise. Now do I think they will know? But 29 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: there is that chance that Steph Curry goes crazy and 30 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: his teammates all of a sudden step up. But the 31 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: Lakers have to lose back to back games. If they 32 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: lose to Golden State, then they get the winner of 33 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: Memphis in San Antonio. And I know people will say, well, 34 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: of course they'll beat them. You know, we're just rubber 35 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: stamping that the Lakers are all of a sudden healthy. 36 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: They're not. And I think people have to understand that 37 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: if you're going to knock the Lakers off, you got 38 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: to get them early, because I do think once they 39 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: start to get going, get back into what they were 40 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: earlier in the year, than they're going to be the 41 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: team to beat. We just assume the nets are going 42 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: to piece it all together. It's just gonna work put 43 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,559 Speaker 1: them on the court. I don't know if the hamstring 44 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: that Harden has battled, that injury is going to come back. 45 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if Kauai goes a wall. I don't 46 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: know if Kevin Durant stays healthy and able to play 47 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: in all these games. But now you have to play 48 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: in these games. This isn't hey, I can take a 49 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,239 Speaker 1: week off, This doesn't matter. Who cares if for the 50 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: number two seat in these Now you have to play 51 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: in these games, and you have to play hard in 52 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: these games because it's not like you're going to be 53 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 1: blowing teams out on a nightly basis. It's playoff basketball. 54 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: And the same can be said about the Lakers. I'm 55 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: not rubber stamping them into the first round matchup here. 56 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: This will probably be difficult for them, But assuming Lebron 57 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: James's ankle is going to be fine, anybody who's had 58 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: a high ankle's print, anybody who's had that injury who 59 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,839 Speaker 1: played plays basketball, understands it's not going away this year. 60 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: It'll still be there. And all it's going to take 61 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: is if he tweaks that ankle, then what are they 62 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 1: still dangerous enough? Without Lebron James or how much do 63 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: you get out of Lebron James. I mean, those are 64 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: the things that I would be factoring in right now 65 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: and getting the band back together to be able to 66 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: play at a high level. So you have the play 67 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: in game with Golden State and the Lakers coming up 68 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: tomorrow night. You have play in games tonight, and I 69 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: think the interesting team to keep an eye on is 70 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: the Boston Celtics. Because Boston had felt like they were 71 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: there was the evolution of they're just going to take 72 00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: that next step, They're going to be the team to 73 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: beat in the East. That's not the case. They underachieved, 74 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: and now you face a Washington team that is overachieving 75 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: and has two very very dangerous players here, Hornets. I'm 76 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: fascinated to watch them as well. Pacers not as much. 77 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: But the big play game will be Golden State versus 78 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: the Lakers. Your phone calls are welcome. H seven seven 79 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: three D P show email address DP at dan Patrick 80 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: dot com, Twitter handle a DP show mclovin your poll 81 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: question today that we're going with our one was should 82 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: the NBA keep a play in tournament? Fifty five said yes, 83 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: I think we should go with this. MV people since 84 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: voting just ended last night, see what the people say? Okay, now, 85 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: can I share my rant on the MVP? Okay, you 86 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: may so. I don't like the fact that you can 87 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: pick an NBA MVP who will then lose in the 88 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: first round in the playoffs. Possibly. I just think it's 89 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: a bad look and then the voters will hold that 90 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: against that player forever, and it just seems to be 91 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: happening a lot. Like I looked at the the last 92 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: few MVPs like Russell Russell Westbrook, who else hardened, Like 93 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: these guys aren't the real MVPs, like Lebron and Steph 94 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: Curry and those guys are the MVPs. Like there's two 95 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: different sets. Okay, but they have a playoff MVP and 96 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: they have a regular season mv nobody remembers the well 97 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: the finals MVP writers, so nobody remembers that. Well I 98 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 1: would if you said I could win the regular season 99 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: MVP or I could win the finals MVP. I'll take 100 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: the finals MVP because I want a title. He did. 101 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: But then like there's like Andrea Goodala and Cedric Maxwell, 102 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: like there's a lot of and they won titles their 103 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 1: finals MVPs, but it's not the same, but you win 104 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: a title, that's cool. I don't know how important I 105 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: think that. I think Lebron winning the MVP this year 106 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: was really important for and then he got hurt. I 107 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: think he wanted to play in every game. I think 108 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: he wanted to say, I don't need load management. I 109 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: want to be the MVP. I want to be any 110 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: might have been the oldest MVP in NBA history. I 111 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: don't know. It's somewhere between him and Kareem Yeah Pole. 112 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: I've got the list of NBA Finals MVPs. There's not 113 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: many non Hall of famers on the list. Going back, 114 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: Like he said, andre Iguodala fourteen fifteen for Golden State. 115 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: He won. He's not going to the Hall of Fame. 116 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: Maybe after this year. I wouldn't say that. I'm not 117 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: a kidding. You have to go back to like Chauncey Billups. 118 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: He's not Sniff in the Hall of Fame, but he 119 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: was MVP for the Pistons. Yeah, Joe Dumars, very good player. 120 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: Cedric Maxwell for the Celtics might be the least Hall 121 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: of Famous player to ever win the MVP. Yeah, Seed. 122 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: Normally we don't really take seven or eight seeds very 123 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: seriously in the NBA playoffs, right, But for is the 124 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: playing tournament making it feel like they have a better 125 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: chance this year? Or is it the fact that like 126 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: the Lakers and the Warriors could end up being seven 127 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 1: and eight seeds, you know, because they're traditionally they're great teams. 128 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: But normally if it was a seven or eight, two 129 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: would be like, all right, well they're about out in 130 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: the first round. Well, I don't think Golden State can 131 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: do any real damage if let's say they would get 132 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: into the actual playoffs. I don't think they're good enough, 133 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: but we know the Lakers are. I just think it's 134 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: because the Lakers are here and you have Steph playing 135 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: at a high level, and you know, can can he score? 136 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: Can he be like he was at Davidson in March 137 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: Madness where he's knocking off all these teams, nearly knocked 138 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: off Kansas to go to the Elite eight, you know, 139 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: beating Gunzaga. Can he do that to Lebron and company? 140 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,679 Speaker 1: And the answer is yes, he can. But the question 141 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: is how consistent, you know, can his teammates be? But 142 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: he does have that ability, and I guess Golden State, 143 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: you know, you give them a slight chance here. Yes, 144 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: he right, because not all of these seeds are created equally. 145 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: It feels like the Celtics are a better seed than 146 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: where they are. Yeah, so I don't know I think this. 147 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: Do you think that this is a year then that 148 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: the playoffs you see more surprises than normal in terms 149 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: of seating. Well, I think if you look at the 150 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: winning percentages of home teams, this year was the lowest 151 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: in NBA history. For whatever reason that is, maybe there's 152 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: more resting load management, still didn't have crowds there, but 153 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: you had the lowest winning percentages of the home teams 154 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: in NBA history. Yes, do I expect surprises. I do, 155 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: But I still think we look at Denver and we 156 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: go and nice regular season story, The Sun's nice regular 157 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: season story, Portland's all right, came back at the end 158 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: of the year. They won forty two games. All right, 159 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: nice regular seasons? Like, how many teams do you look 160 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 1: at and you go, they're going to do damage in 161 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: the postseason? The Nets, the Lakers? Are you sold on 162 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: the Clippers? You know the Clippers wanted to avoid the Lakers. 163 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: They did everything they could to avoid the Lakers. Does 164 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: that say something about the Clippers. I give you' the Clippers. 165 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: Don't you want the Lakers early? I would, I'd be like, 166 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: let me get them now, but they did everything they 167 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: could to avoid them in the East? Have we sold 168 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: on Philadelphia we were at the beginning of the year. 169 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: Is Milwaukee more dangerous because we're not talking about Milwaukee? 170 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: Can Miami be like Miami last year? Are the Net's 171 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: going to be healthy? You have a lot of questions 172 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: going into the postseason, but how many teams do you 173 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 1: really think have a chance to play for the title 174 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 1: this year? Yeah? I keep going back to the Jazz, 175 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: and we talked about the Jazz earlier in the year. 176 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: They're fifty two and twenty, best record in the league. 177 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: They've outscored their opponents. They're win differentials plus nine nine 178 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: point two. They win the average game by nine point two. 179 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 1: The next best in the league is the Clippers at six, 180 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: and they're by far the best team on the court 181 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: this year. But I think that my theory on the 182 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: Jazz is they don't have one star to pin the 183 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,959 Speaker 1: team on, one star that plays nashally to focus on. 184 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: They've got some good players Mitchell and Gobert, but they 185 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: don't have a star that yeah, but that doesn't that 186 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: they can't be good in the playoffs. I know, but 187 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: that's because they don't do well. Yeah, it's not the boy. 188 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: If they had a marquee player and everybody knew Donovan Mitchell, boy, 189 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: they'd be a real threat. They got a you know, 190 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: Conley's an All Star, you know the stifled Tower. You 191 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: got Mitchell. Like, they have good players, they've been together, 192 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: play well, shoot the three great uniforms. But that doesn't 193 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: mean Wow, if I only knew who those players were, 194 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: I give them a better chance. No, it doesn't work 195 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: that way in the postseason. Yeah, it's McLevin. You know. 196 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: It's funny. I pulled up the standings and it's amazing 197 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 1: how close the one through eight all are because it's 198 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: short and season two, Like the Sixers have forty nine 199 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: wins and the number six seed, the Heat have forty wins. 200 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: They're kind of the same, not quite the same team. 201 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: And the Lakers are not that far behind the Jazz either. 202 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: I do wonder about this with Steph Curry and Lebron James, 203 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: that Lebron came out and said he's he's our league MVP. 204 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: It just feels like there's like Lebron is seeing other 205 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: players behind, you know, mellow and Chris Paul's back like 206 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 1: he's got like he's he's got some you know, secret buddies. 207 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: He might be courting Steph Curry, Like just a feeling 208 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: I have, like you know, if you don't resign there, 209 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: might want to join. Uh, I don't have some fun. 210 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: It just feels like there's a little more there with 211 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: Lebron and Steph Curry kind of flirting with him a 212 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, just a little bit. Hey, a little buddy. Yeah, see, 213 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: anything's right. It's a far cry from like they got 214 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: a little chippy and some of those playoffs. Yeah, I 215 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: don't know. Just feels like maybe you know, some verbal 216 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: bouquets there. I don't think it's gonna be Isaiah Magic 217 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: kissing before opening tip, but I don't know. Yeah, Paulie 218 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: Clay's house was in that boat a few years ago, 219 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: remember as kind truck was over before he was injured, 220 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: and he's a destined to be a Laker, his dad 221 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: was a Laker. Felt like Clay was coming out Yeah yeah, yeah, 222 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: mcle but why do you assume that they're going to 223 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: LA I mean Lebron's already conquered Hollywood. How do you 224 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: know he has to have some tech startups in mind? 225 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: He might he had it to the Bay Area. Both 226 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: have attractive options. Yeah, um, I think Steph might come 227 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: down the coast that that if he doesn't sign this extension. Yeah, 228 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: just I just throw it out there, you know, to 229 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: the Clippers. Yo. Jared Dudley, these seldom used Laker guard 230 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: had something to say about teams not wanting to play 231 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: the Lakers. I do think it was funny. You see 232 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: a lot of teams, as you would say, uh, managing 233 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 1: their their these last couple of games, was trying to 234 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: avoid us and stuff like that. It's funny to see dad, 235 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: But for us, it's Um, it's gonna be challenge or 236 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: whatever team you play, because between Yokis, you know the 237 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: verse Paul you know you have obviously Chris paul Um. 238 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 1: But man, we're up for it. Man, we're the defending champs. 239 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: They got worry about us, and we're getting healthy at 240 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: the right time. But no one wants to see a 241 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: healthy Laker team. I always like that guy who didn't play, 242 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 1: but he's got something to say. Yeah, he'll probably pick 243 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: a fight somewhere in the game too, and you're like, dude, Toddley, 244 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 1: come on, man, yeah, yes, paul you want no part 245 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: of his point five points per game and one point 246 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: eight rebounds this year, Dan, he's ready for a breakout game. 247 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: Did Draymond Green average more assists than points this year? 248 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: Can you check that? For some reason? I thought that, 249 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: And I'm wondering the last time somebody averaged more assists 250 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 1: than points? Yes, Paulieu, Draymond average seven points per game, 251 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 1: eight point nine assists, seven point one rebounds. I think 252 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: you have to go back to Doug Gottlieb. But Oklahoma 253 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: State assistant Oh, no, offense. Uh, when's the last time 254 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: you had an NBA player average more assists than points? 255 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 1: And Draymond's played well like he is. When when everybody 256 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: is healthy and that that is a full team, then 257 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: you can see Draymond's greatness. You don't see it on 258 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 1: a nightly basis now, but when they're playing at a 259 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: high level, then you see the value of Draymond Green. Yeah. Point. 260 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: My guest was Rondo, Rajon Rondo. Yeah, Early in his 261 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: career he had seasons where he had ten point six 262 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: points per game, eleven point two assists. Okay, he had 263 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: a season where is eleven point eight points eleven point 264 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: eight assists? It was even, But he had a couple 265 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: of those seasons, right, good, Yeah, I didn't know. You know, 266 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: it's such a statistical anomaly. How often that's happened? Yes 267 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: to me? Club Jay Kidd was real close. One season 268 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: he had ten point one assists and ten point eight points, 269 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: and then he was a ten point four at eleven 270 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: point one, so he was right about even. Mark. What's 271 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: the most assist averaged in a season like fourteen? You 272 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: guys want to guess? Yeah, Like, who do you think 273 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: it is? I'm curious, I'm guessing Stockton. I don't I 274 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: don't know. Magic always seemed like he was nineteen points 275 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: and eleven assists just felt like those weird you just 276 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: plugged in those numbers, and then of course he got 277 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: to the postseason, and then those numbers changed dramatically. I'm 278 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: thinking Stockton would probably be the guy, like, how about 279 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: fourteen point two assists per game? Yes? Boy, yeah, I'm 280 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: don'll checking the actual number for the most assistant season. 281 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: John Stockton once had fourteen point five assists and that 282 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: season they ever seventeen points per game. Yeah, Stockton has 283 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: eight of the top ten assists seasons. The other people 284 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: in there are like Isaiah Thomas. Yeah, it was awesome. 285 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: Kevin Porter, Kevin Johnson. Magic is in their bunch. Yeah. 286 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: Kevin Porter had like a twenty eight or thirty assists 287 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: game one time. I think Scott Skiles had one of 288 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: those games too. Kevin Porter. He could play a little bit. 289 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: You know. He was fun, he was he was good. 290 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: He had a window there where he's pretty good. Yeah, McLevin, Yeah, 291 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: I remember that Skiles. That was a thirty assist game. 292 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: That was He was a spicy player. He was just 293 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: so unusual. One of my favorite Scott Skiles stories is 294 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: during the NCAA tournament, He's playing against Georgetown and he 295 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: played at Michigan State. He had those socks all the 296 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: way up to his knees and Skiles is over by 297 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: John Thompson. He's over by the Georgetown bench and he 298 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: turns to John Thompson to say, get somebody out here 299 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: who can guard me? And I thought that that's Scott Skiles. 300 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: You're saying that to John Thompson, Hey, get somebody out 301 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: here who can guard me. Yeah, Paul, I'm double check 302 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: on this, but I'm doing a deep dive on John Stockton. Yeah, 303 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: I don't think he ever had a triple double in 304 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: his career. He had nine rebounds five times, he had 305 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: nine steals five times. He never had ten blocks. Surprisingly 306 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 1: over rating, but his career high in points is thirty four. 307 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: His career high and assists is twenty eight in a game. 308 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: I'm I'm pretty sure John Stockton never had a triple double. 309 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: He almost had it a bunch of time with steals. Yeah, 310 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: that was always an underrated part of Stockton, that he 311 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: was always up there like at least the career leader 312 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 1: in steals I think in NBA history. Yeah, you're right, Yeah, 313 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: I don't think he has a triple double. Ones.

Kyle and California. What do you have for me? Kyle? 364 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 1: I know we're concerned about Lebron's ankle moment. Hell, I 365 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: don't know what. I don't know what he was doing 366 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: diving into it. Lebron's still upset. I'm still upset about it. 367 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,199 Speaker 1: It's shaping up really well for him though. Nuggets and 368 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: Clippers both avoiding the Lakers. That way, Lakers get to 369 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: see the Suns who they match up with. Well, then 370 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: they get Nuggets, Blazers Jake, and then Jazz are Clippers 371 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: in the finals. I'm just waiting to hear as Mannix 372 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: picks the Lakers, then I know they're dead. Well, Mannox 373 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: joined us in an hour from now. Thank you, Kyle. 374 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: Great to hear from you. Joe in Orlando, Joe, what 375 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: do you have for me to day? Well? Dan, I 376 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 1: just wanted to say, I get you for pointing something 377 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: out for me. Does anybody realize who Lebron's point guard 378 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: was for the All Star weekend? And I think everybody 379 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: might have forgot that poured out. As far as Lebron 380 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: trying to recruit staff, I think you're right as far 381 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: as there being something more to this. Lebron also said 382 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 1: that he felt like he might have felt there was 383 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: doubt that he'd resigned the Golden State due to them 384 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: not being able to compete. If the Lakers win it 385 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: this year, who really could compete with them? Especially with 386 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: the talent that he'll be in the free agency, being 387 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: that Lonzo is also recruited by his rep was ended 388 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 1: it by Clutch. Do you think it's possible he could 389 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 1: go back? Oh? I don't know. I don't see that happening. 390 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 1: I think they moved on from the Ball family. But 391 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: the Steph thing, I don't know. Just it feels like 392 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: Lebron is always recruiting, like there's always, you know, something 393 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: going on, and you know, I just thought it was 394 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: interesting that he said if they weren't playing the Golden 395 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:34,719 Speaker 1: State Warriors tomorrow night, would Lebron have said that Steph 396 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: is clearly the MVP because his good buddy is Chris Paul, 397 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: who's had a MVP like season. The Joker has played consistent, 398 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 1: more consistent than anybody else this season, start to finish, 399 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: played in all the games. If they were playing Denver, 400 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: what he have said the Joker? If when they play Phoenix, 401 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: will he change his MVP vote and say, you know, 402 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 1: Chris Paul clearly the MVP. Yeah, Paul. Going back to 403 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: where will Lebron play next, which is wild that we're 404 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 1: even talking about that. I still believe that he will 405 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 1: play one more year on whatever team his son's on. 406 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 1: I don't know where he's going to join. I think 407 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 1: his son is a sophomore in high school. Bronnie Jameson. 408 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: That means he would be in the draft two years 409 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: and two months from now. I don't know how good 410 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: he is. It's hard to say. If you look at 411 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 1: like recruiting profiles he's got, you know, obviously offers from everybody, 412 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 1: because who knows. I've watched his team play and he 413 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: hasn't struck me as the best player on the floor. Now, 414 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean he's not developing, and maybe he's unselfish 415 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: pass for his guy. But I mean, maybe Lebron holds out, 416 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: you know that he'll play, he'll that'll be his last 417 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: season and get a chance to play on the same 418 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 1: team with his son. Yes, MC, I can't imagine a 419 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 1: team with Lebron and Steph Curry, like Curry'll be thirty 420 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 1: four or whatever Lebron older because when you have Curry, 421 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: everyone has to step up their defense to cover up 422 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 1: for Curry, and Lebron's not gonna have energy to play 423 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: that kind of defense. It just feels like an odd 424 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: team in a sense. I mean, when Lebron wants to 425 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 1: play defense, he's the best. But that's a that's a lot, 426 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 1: that's an old backward. Well, how much defense do you 427 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 1: think the Nets play? Well? None, and it might be 428 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: a problem, But I'm just saying that all of a sudden, 429 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: now we're focusing on defense, who's gonna stop them? They're 430 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: gonna be thirty eight and thirty four. Yeah, nobody takes 431 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: care of themselves like Lebron does. Steph only has to 432 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 1: go from the three point line here at this end 433 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: to the three point line at the other end. That's it. 434 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: They didn't have to go all the way in doesn't 435 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: get f to get in the paint, have to go 436 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,959 Speaker 1: after loose balls or anything. Yeah. See, but is that 437 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: kind of like super Mega team? If Steph Curry was 438 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: to join eighty and Lebron in Los Angeles? Is that 439 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: just a reaction to the to the Net and you're 440 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: looking east and you see those three guys, You're like, dang, 441 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: we need somebody else here. I don't know if, let's 442 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: say the Nets win, how does the rest of the 443 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: NBA react. If the Nets win the title, That's what 444 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: I would be curious about, because Steph might go Clays 445 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 1: coming back. They got Draymond James Wiseman. Is you know 446 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 1: he's okay, do I have a chance to win another championship? 447 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,679 Speaker 1: And how important is that to him? And then Lebron 448 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: might go, Okay, I got a D. But man, I 449 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: need a little bit more help. I had that shrewder 450 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: I thought the offseason acquisitions that this was going to 451 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: be different, and then he might realize we're not going 452 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: to be able to beat that team. Yeah, Paul, if 453 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 1: the Nets win the title this year, it is going 454 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: to crush the load management fight by the NBA because 455 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: next year they'll each play fifty games. They'll just rotate. 456 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: Like you do a stretch of twenty, I'll do a 457 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: stretch of twenty, and it'll be a complete load management franchise. 458 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 1: And I'll say, like, look, what do the fans care? 459 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: As long as we're in the finals. If they win, 460 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,679 Speaker 1: they'll be proved out. I think a lot of their 461 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: guys are being cautious. I mentioned Draymond Green, like, how 462 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 1: I don't know how often this happens. How common is 463 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: it that you average more assist than points minimum of 464 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: at least forty games in a season. Matthew Dellavadova average 465 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: three point two points or three point two assists three 466 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 1: point one point, so he technically gets in. Jose Calderon 467 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: two point three points two point three assists. Kendall Marshall 468 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen averaged eight point eight assist eight point 469 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: eight point zero points per game. Yeah, but I'm talking 470 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: about high end players here. By the way, the most 471 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: regular season games with out a triple double since John 472 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: Stockton's first season, which was nineteen eighty four, Stockton is 473 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: tops with fifteen hundred games. Second is Kevin Willis, Clifford Robinson, 474 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: Jamal Crawford and Derek Fisher stat of your day, stat 475 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: of the day, stat of the day, stat of the day. 476 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: Here comes that? What stat of the day? Kevin in 477 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 1: Seattle joins us Hi, Kevin, what's on your mind today? 478 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 1: Hey Dan? First time, long time, five to eleven A 479 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: dad bought two twenty. I just wanted to see if 480 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: you could do a Bill Belichick negative stat of a day. 481 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: I think that would be great. Okay, And everything's fine 482 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: in Seattle, by the way, since Aaron Rodgers thing came out, Russ, 483 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: everything's good to go. Okay. I don't even talk about 484 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: it anymore. No, thank you, Kevin. I don't have a 485 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick's out of the day, but if he did, 486 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: do won't it would probably be a bit of a downer. 487 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,360 Speaker 1: Why do I face rookie quarterbacks? I'm undefeated, so I'm 488 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,719 Speaker 1: probably not going to start a rookie quarterback this season. 489 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: We're on just Cincinnati. Was he doing that comedian Stephen Right, 490 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 1: Stephen Right before Stephen Wright or after Stephen Right? Stephen 491 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,880 Speaker 1: Rights from the Northeast, didn't he from New England? Yeah? 492 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: I think Stephen Wright was first, as far as he 493 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,360 Speaker 1: was a pretty famous comedian before Bill was coach. Do 494 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: you think Bill is working on his Do we have 495 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: any Stephen Wright? Could we find any Stephen Right? Yes? Time, 496 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: I think he definitely stole it from Stephen Right. I 497 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: bought some batteries, but they weren't included, so I had 498 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 1: to buy him again A Small World. But I wouldn't 499 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: want to paint it. Do I actually? Do you have 500 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: any actual Stephen Right? We do, I just don't know 501 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: if it's all clean or not. So I mean we 502 00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: could wing it if you want. Let's wing it? Yeah, 503 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: why not? Right? Yeah? This is called just for last 504 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five. Okay, let's see how this goes. Okay, 505 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: you know I was gonna do that. So I get 506 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: off the plane and I forgot to undo my seat 507 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: belt and I'm pulling the plane through the terminal and 508 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: the wings are knocking people over. And then I almost 509 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: broke both my arms trying to hold open an evolving 510 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: door for a woman, and I tried to hang myself 511 00:29:52,800 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: with the bungee cord. I kept almost dying, and then 512 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: I went into a store and I tried to buy 513 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: something to put underneath the coasters. Look forward to working 514 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: with him when I was a smart kid. He's been 515 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: in system that's, you know, similar to ours. We've had 516 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: a lot of good conversations. But then I think he'll 517 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: be able to process the offense. It's obviously going to 518 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: take a lot of time. I'm driving on the street 519 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: as a guy hitch checking. I figure I'll go back 520 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: and pick him up. So before I back up, I 521 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: put a tape, and I had a tape of that 522 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 1: noise a truck's make when they back up. All right, 523 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: you know he starts out slow. You know, maybe it 524 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: gets a little better there towards the end. He might 525 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: be a better highlight reel than a full special. Yeah, yes, Polly, 526 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: the gutsy Choice is a comedian. I'm going to be 527 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: droll and quiet. No words are barely getting out of 528 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: my mouth. I remember seeing Stephen Wright in New Jersey, 529 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: Atlantic City, but he was coming out of a casino 530 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: and I I immediately did as Stephen Wright impersonation to him. 531 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: I said, hey Stephen hell and I I couldn't believe 532 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: I did it, because you know, he has his wild 533 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: hair he did back then, and I go, hey, Stephen, 534 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 1: how are you? His face looks like it's just barely 535 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: hanging on his body, sort of like drooping down. It's 536 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it. Yeah, 537 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: what was the one line? Uh? I was born Cincerian section, 538 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: So I don't leave the hells through the front door. 539 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: I go out the window. I once got a job 540 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: at a fire hydrant factory. It was great gig, but 541 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: there was nowhere to put something like that. There was 542 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: nowhere to park. Is he still don't stand out? It's 543 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: much much more morose now actually gotten worse becaus he 544 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: gets old and crotchety because he was like twenty seven 545 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: in that video. He was old and crotchety at twenty seven. 546 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 1: Let me ask our resident comedian mclovin. Do you know 547 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: if Steven I just got I just write that an 548 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: eighties comedian? Yeah? You two? Did you guys?

Oh that's your okay, that's your wheelhouse? Well, 551 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: I just know that there was nobody like him like 552 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: that was that was where is it? Tour to force 553 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: and comedians will talk about that. You did not want 554 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: to follow Sam Kennison Like there's certain comedians you don't 555 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: want to follow. You didn't want to follow us a 556 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: lot of energy. Oh my god, yeah, Paul. I think 557 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: it's maybe late eighties. There's a thing called Roddy Dangersfield's 558 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: Young Comedian Special and it was a big thing on HBO. 559 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: He would do it once a year and he would 560 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: introduce a new comedian and Sam Kennison when he comes 561 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: out on stage, he's kind of wonky look and he's 562 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: got this beret and the big tweed coat and the 563 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 1: first like thirty forty seconds of his act, he's talking 564 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: like this, like there's nothing. He's like setting up the 565 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: whole scream. He's setting up the whole screaming a bit 566 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,239 Speaker 1: and then he hits you with a hammer, and it 567 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: was fascinating. Yes Pa or yes ton He'd say there's 568 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: people in the desert going hungry. He's like, that's because 569 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 1: they live in the sand. What is it gonna be 570 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: a hundred years from now? Thank you, Tony? Yes, mclemland. 571 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: What I can't do anything, he's yakof smear enough. Yeah, 572 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: I just gonna make a pitch for him. They're a 573 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 1: little on PC, but the yeah, the Soviet Russia jokes 574 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: don't really last is from nineteen eighty four. He had 575 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: a good run though. Yeah, then he started linked. He 576 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: did commercials too. Deton really hurt his act though, Yeah, 577 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: and the country started getting along and doing trade packs. Yeah, 578 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: Like now he could come back and probably have a 579 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: couple of good lines. Is Yakop smearing off still alive? 580 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: I remember in comedy too. Then Seinfeld came along and 581 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: everybody sounded like Seinfeld, like, what's the deal with this? 582 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 1: What's the deal with that? Observational humor? Yes, yeah, but 583 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 1: George Carlin gave you observational humor before Jerry Seinfeld, Like 584 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 1: Carlin's there on the Mount Rushmore. He's the best. He 585 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 1: gave you so many things where you just you know, 586 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 1: things you didn't think about or think you needed to 587 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: think about. And then he gave you a couple of 588 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: those stories, yacle. And they talk about Richard Pryor like 589 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,439 Speaker 1: a rock and roll star too, But even Eddie when 590 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy did raw when I mean that was one 591 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: of those where that was that was different, That was 592 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: that was like a true concert feel for a stand 593 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 1: up comedian. Yeah, Paul Yakof speared off. The comedian retired 594 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: basically in two thousand and six, got a master's degree 595 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: and teaches classes at different universities. Is Karrot Top still 596 00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:01,720 Speaker 1: doing what Karret Tomp does and Tiger? Is Gallagher still alive? 597 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: Ooh like career wise or LifeWise? LifeWise? But I remember 598 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: seeing Karrot Top in Los Angeles at a club and 599 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 1: he wanted to do a sports Center commercial. He's like, 600 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,280 Speaker 1: you got to put me in a sports Center commercial? 601 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,880 Speaker 1: And I think he did get in a sports Center commercial? 602 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 1: Yas time. What do you think about comedians with props? 603 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: I know I could have used a lot of help 604 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: and a few of my stints to do anything other 605 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: than the actual content of the comedy. Isn't that like true? 606 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if you should be doing this. I'm 607 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,800 Speaker 1: throwing it out to the group. Is that full comedy 608 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,840 Speaker 1: instead of like that you act has a lot to 609 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,720 Speaker 1: do with weird gadgets and things?

Home teams barely had an advantage, in part 643 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:47,319 Speaker 1: because of smaller crowd size, But that's changing by the day. 644 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,560 Speaker 1: Teams are announcing their audience capacity for the playoff games, 645 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,840 Speaker 1: and it seems like we're getting closer to packed houses. 646 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,920 Speaker 1: And if teams approach their policies with common sense and 647 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 1: the appropriate, say safety measures, then it'll be great to 648 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: have everybody back. Fans are a large part of that 649 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,879 Speaker 1: playoff experience and that true home court advantage on top 650 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: of the court. Did you realize that the Lakers were 651 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:17,280 Speaker 1: the first team that kept the lights on down low 652 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,839 Speaker 1: to let you see the people who were there at 653 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 1: a game and had never been done before. I grew 654 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:27,320 Speaker 1: up watching a Celtics game on a Sunday afternoon and 655 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 1: they'd be playing the seventy six ers and the court 656 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,319 Speaker 1: was the stage. So the court was lit beautifully, that 657 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 1: parquet floor, and you couldn't see anything around it, so 658 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 1: the floor stood out even more. Now when you watch 659 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:46,840 Speaker 1: a game, it's everything's illuminated. But the Lakers were the 660 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: first team to do that many many many years ago, 661 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,919 Speaker 1: decades ago, because they wanted to let you know who 662 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 1: was there at the game. Yeah, Paul, I've never sat 663 00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 1: courtside during an NBA game. It is it good? I 664 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,840 Speaker 1: know it's from hearing things and seeing like the interaction, 665 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 1: maybe so, But is it a good to view a 666 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:10,799 Speaker 1: basketball game? Or is it too low? I think I've 667 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:15,440 Speaker 1: only done it twice. I found it harder to follow 668 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,839 Speaker 1: depending on where you're seated, because you could be at 669 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 1: one end and then you're not seeing everything at the 670 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,879 Speaker 1: other end. But when that action is right in front 671 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 1: of you, when you can reach out and touch somebody, 672 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,719 Speaker 1: it's just a unique experience. I go back to when 673 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:31,720 Speaker 1: I was in the end zone for the Super Bowl 674 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:36,719 Speaker 1: between the Patriots and Seattle when Malcolm Butler had the interception. 675 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 1: I'm right under the goal post and you might recall 676 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 1: after that, you know, the Patriots got the ball back 677 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 1: at the one yard line and then there was not 678 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,920 Speaker 1: an altercation, but close to it. I think Bruce Irvin 679 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 1: and Rob Gronkowski were kind of going back at each 680 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 1: other in the end zone and they're like three feet 681 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 1: away from me, and it was just it was one 682 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 1: of those kind of surreal moments that it's right there 683 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,320 Speaker 1: happening to you instead of in a press box or 684 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 1: you're watching on TV. Yeah. See, I remember when we 685 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 1: were cheerleaders at the Houston game and we were standing 686 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:20,200 Speaker 1: right down close to the basket, like one of the ends, 687 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 1: and we were right under the hoop, and you really 688 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 1: got a sense for just how physical the game is. 689 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,799 Speaker 1: Like I remember Andrew, I think we talked about it, 690 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,839 Speaker 1: like I don't I never played basketball like that, you know, 691 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,720 Speaker 1: like like your full body Like they were like grown 692 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 1: men just smashing each like thang like football. You had 693 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,719 Speaker 1: Houston against Central Florida. Taco Falls was out there, and 694 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,320 Speaker 1: you know, you see somebody who looks tall on TV 695 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,000 Speaker 1: and then you see them when they come on the court. 696 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:51,239 Speaker 1: I was at Minute Bowls debut as a player. It 697 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 1: was a preseason game in Washington, d C. And he 698 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 1: came out on the floor and had his warmups on. 699 00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,080 Speaker 1: It was at first I thought there was a guy 700 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 1: on stilts and he had like warm up he was 701 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: he was like a mascot or something, and I realized 702 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:10,000 Speaker 1: that was minute bull going out there. And you've just 703 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,919 Speaker 1: never seen somebody that tall at seven foot six or whatever. 704 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:15,920 Speaker 1: He was, Yeah, I'm in club.

Mark Eaton 711 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,759 Speaker 1: was another one, but he wasn't like huge, he was 712 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 1: just tall. Uh.
