But excited about the partnership for 0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:27.080 the next couple of years with Peacock. Say good morning 0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:29.720 to our great radiophiliates number three hundred and sixty two 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:33.760 around the country, those on chat row. We have a 0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:35.400 poll question. I don't know if we're going to change 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:37.559 it for the final hour of the program. Mcleven, what 0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:39.320 do we have? So? I asked, who's coming out of 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:41.640 the West. The Lakers are still number one, but the 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:44.240 Clippers are sticking a number two over the MAVs, Rockets, 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:46.599 and Jazz. I have an NFL option for you when 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:49.440 you're ready. Okay, I'm ready right now. You can only 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.600 watch one of these quarterbacks this season, all right, Cam 0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:55.840 Newton assuming he starts by Week one for the Patriots, 0:00:55.960 --> 0:01:01.160 or Tom Brady for the Buccaneers. I'm gonna go Brady. Yeah, 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:05.840 there's a Kim makes the Patriots interesting. The Buccaneers are 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.600 still interesting to me even if Brady didn't go there. 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.400 But I would say Tom Brady. I'm also looking at this. 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:17.240 You know, Vegas has some odds on quarterbacks winning the MVP, 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.080 and we've seen this with the second year quarterback winning 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:25.040 the MVP. Kyler Murray's name is up there pretty high. 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:27.280 Got a lot of people who are buying into the 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.080 Kyler Murray hype that maybe he could win the MVP 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:34.240 this year. Murray has twenty to one odds to win 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:38.040 the award. Mahomes and Jackson are currently the favorites. Tom 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:42.040 Brady's at eighteen to one. He's generated the most action, 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:47.320 Dak Prescott fifteen to one. He was twenty five to one. 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:51.040 He's attracted the second most action. But that makes sense 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:54.520 with the Cowboy fans Cam Newton. Cam Newton went from 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:58.840 one hundred to one to thirty to one to win 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:04.520 the MVP. One Better wagered five hundred dollars on Cam Newton. 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:08.080 If he becomes the MVP, the ticket will be worth 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:11.799 just over fifty thousand dollars. I'd put down that kind 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.079 of money on cam and call someone if you want. No, 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.240 I don't want to gamble Drew Locke. By the way, 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:20.160 the Broncos, there's some people looking at Drew Locke has 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.519 maybe taking that next step, but he's at one hundred 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:25.760 to one right now. He's got some weapons there in Denver. 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.320 But yeah, I definitely want to see what Brady does 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:30.560 with Tampa Bay because we don't know how much longer 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:33.440 he's going to play. Final Hour eight seven seven three 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:36.120 D P show email address DP at dan Patrick dot com. 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:38.799 Spend a lot of time first hour talking about Luca 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:42.000 don check the shot. You realize that the Clippers wanted 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:45.200 to make that switch. Reggie Jackson guarding Luca don Chick 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.720 with the game on the line. I'm waiting for this 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:52.080 question to come up. Did Luca make the right decision? 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.480 Now we know the end result? He went for the win? 0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.600 This wasn't you go for the win on the road. 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.079 You go for the tie when you're at home. Now 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.560 you're on a neutral site here, and what if he 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:10.840 misses that shot? Are we critical of Luca don Chick 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:14.160 because he took a three to win it, a contested 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:18.880 three from thirty five feet instead of trying to get 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:23.560 it too. Yes, I think they were only down one. Actually, 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.400 oh they were. Yeah, the final score was one thirty 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:29.560 five one. Then never mind. But it's a crazy shot. 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.480 Why why did you try and get fouled. Let's start 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.880 the hour over it. Yeah, well that out, yeah, yeah, 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:36.960 well we'll hit that out in the rear. But I 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:40.200 even the shot that he took. I was curious about that, 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.600 that it was a contested shot, a deep shot there 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.920 and what he had been criticized if you know he 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.480 doesn't make that shot. And the answer is yes, he 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:52.480 would have been criticized. Yes. I heard a couple of 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.680 analysts on NBA TV. We're breaking down that shot, and 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.040 we're talking about his awareness on the court, where he 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.840 is the time left that he did an extra crossover 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.440 dribble that he knew he had time for and his 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.920 defender was reacting to. There's like three crossovers. You know. 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.720 His defender was sticking with the second one and thought, well, 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.200 that's all the time he has, and he committed and 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:13.040 that's why he was tumbled over his feet on a 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:16.080 third crossover. Here is Don Chick after the game winning shot. 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:18.760 I was just trying to make it. You know, I 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:22.160 can't explain the emotions I had, you know, not only 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.320 winning winning the ball goes in when I see the 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:28.799 whole team like twenty totals me. That was something special, 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:32.000 one of the best feelings I ever had as a player. 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:36.240 And it's just something special, man, This tim is something special. 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:39.760 And Rick Carlyle, who played with Larry Bird in Boston, 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.440 had a comparison to Luca and I keep this in 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.280 mind that Mark Cuban, the owner of the mav says 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:49.560 let's stop making comparisons to Luca don Chick. But that 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:53.000 didn't stop Rick Carlyle from making this comparison. I mentioned 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.440 Kid and Bird. I mean, I think both those guys, 0:04:55.839 --> 0:05:00.680 you know, just from the same fabric competitive and in 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:05.080 terms of their will to win and their resourcefulness to 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:11.440 find ways to impact the game in unique forms. You know, 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.760 it's not just about putting the ball to basket. It's 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:17.960 about giving teammates confidence. And keep in mind what Jeff 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:21.279 Van Gundy said last week, comparisons are the thief of joy. 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.479 It's a great expression because we get caught up and 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:28.400 then eventually you're going to denigrate one player as you 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.400 elevate another player. And I'm not, and I don't mean 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:34.640 to do that. Those comparisons I think are app what 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.520 Jason Kidd did, how he did it. He became a 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.560 very good three point shooter, but he could dominate without scoring. 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:43.680 And we know, of course Larry Bird, but you know 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.640 the Luca comparison. I mean, that's what's fun about what 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.520 we do, where you're trying to find that comp What 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:54.200 happens with every draft, who's he remind you of? Right 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:56.640 when somebody says, oh, you got to see this guy, 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.800 who's he remind you of? And then you have your comparison. 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:03.039 Whether it's true or not, you have your comparison. I 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:07.760 love it. It's fun, dangerous at times, but it's fun. Yeah, Paul. Oh. 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:09.760 What frustrates us, and I know this frustrates you in 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.479 the group here is that people use comparisons of physical 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:18.040 similarities like height, weight, complexion, etc. Etc. And they don't 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.400 compare games. We try to compare what their game on 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.120 the court is like if it's like another player, because 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:26.000 it doesn't always match. Just because you're Tom Googliata doesn't 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.279 mean you played like Larry Bird well, but you have 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:30.599 to be compared. You're always compared a white guys always 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:33.279 compared to a white guy unless people start thinking it 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:36.400 through and say, what's the actual game, Like, yeah, someth globe, 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:38.560 but there is. In fact, I had stats pulled Luca 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.440 Dante's dunks like three times all season, like there is 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:43.960 a lack of verticality to his game that people bend 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:47.000 over backwards not to recognize he plays well below the rim. 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.960 He never died. Do you remember him ever dunking the ball? No? 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.479 But I'm not a guy who got caught up in boy. 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.560 I love to watch these guys dunk rab's hey, like 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.000 you know who? That reminds me of Larry Bird played 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.320 the same style. Yeah, yeah, Paul, I had this old book. 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.400 It's unbelievable. It's from like nineteen eighty two and it's 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.719 the top Dunkers in the NBA. It's that's old base 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:09.760 basketball reference book, remember that one. It was like a 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.440 big brick and it lists of ten best dunkers in 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.160 the NBA and Larry Bird was ten. And I still 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:18.680 have the book. Wait, best Dunkers, Best dunkers in the NBA. 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:20.280 And even says like, I know you're surprise at Larry 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.120 Birds on the list, but he goes down the baseline 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.600 he'll dunk on people. This is again twenty three year 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:26.800 old Larry Bird we're talking about. I'll grab the book 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:30.680 and check. Yes, Mclub, that's inaccurate. It's in a book. 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:33.240 Say that book is wrong. Because I was as a 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.600 Sixers fan, I watched Larry Bird posts up guys from 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:38.840 sixteen feet out. He never dunked on us. I'd I 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:42.840 say us. No. Larry would usually dunk in transition on 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:46.080 a fast break, but not too many times where it's 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.040 a half court set and he's gonna, you know, go 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.040 in and dunk on your left handed. Yeah, it's Mclub. 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.320 I talked to our buddy Land Zeroline, who writes up 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.520 the draft capsules for NFL dot com. Yeah, and he 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.160 says he's wary of comparing white receivers to either white 0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:59.760 receivers because of you. He says he thinks of the 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.280 Day Patrick show because he does, will make fun of 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.920 him if he uh So, it's a tough game to 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.520 do the player comp especially with football, because you do 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:12.520 you always do size Russell Wilson, Baker Mayfield. You know 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:14.400 you gotta do the five eleven quarterback to the other 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.440 five eleven. But I don't know who we compared John 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:21.680 Stockton too, M Like, who did we compare Steve Nash too? 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:28.120 Because I don't know if there's a comp I mean, 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.400 we gotta historically. Let's pull up that draft and see 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:32.959 what they said. Yeah, I'd be curious that who who 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:39.600 they're compared to, because they're their own like they're the original, 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:42.080 they're the o G. When it comes to what Steve 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.160 Nash did and how he did it, John Stockton the 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.880 way he did it as well. Here's something for you 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:50.600 that Ethan Ethan does the stats around here. Mcloven used 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:56.880 to do him, but Ethan Ethan is a Harvard grab 0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:00.960 and he just sent me this stat total points through 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:05.200 the series first four games Clippers four hundred ninety five points, 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:08.600 the MAVs four hundred and ninety four. Thank you so 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:12.360 very much, Ethan, Thank you. Paulie just sent me a 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:16.760 YouTube video on Larry Bird. Is this Larry Bird dunking? 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:20.560 It's Larry Bud Larry Bird dunks mix the best of 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.760 It's at all of two minutes and twenty seconds long, 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:28.320 but he's putting down on some fellas. Um, wait a minute, here, 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:33.719 it's early bird. The hair is flowing and these are 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:38.160 hardly what I would call highlight duns. There's a couple 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:41.120 of crisp one handers in there, and I don't think 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:44.760 so they took three steps there, four steps there. He 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:48.920 just torched John Sunbold. Yeah, this is sad. I'm watching this. 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.400 This is a I mean, he's barely getting that ball 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.880 over the room. Yeah, I wouldn't say Larry. You know, 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.960 when I think of great dunkers in the eighties, Larry's 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.240 name doesn't come to mind. In fact, his name would 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.360 never come to mind. But as a Celtic it makes 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:07.520 you look more athletic when you dunk. Yeah, I think 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:09.920 he's one of the great Celtic dunkers. Here we go 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:15.360 of all time workshop, Yes, mclick. I don't remember many 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:19.080 magic dunks either. He didn't like he was very close 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:22.640 to the floor. Luca had you know Ethan who does 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:25.760 our stats on the show. He just sent me this note. 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:29.600 Luca had fourteen dunks this year, tied for one hundred 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:35.439 and eighty fourth in the NBA. So thank you Ethan. 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:39.199 Once again. Kids, it doesn't matter if you can dunk, 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:41.800 but if you can shoot a three, you got a 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:46.840 chance to play. Just letting you know, God, I thought 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:49.960 once I dunked, man, like you will, you think that 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:51.640 there are people that are going to come out of 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.160 you know, doors, and you know they're gonna come out 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:58.120 of the woods. They're gonna day welcome to the club. 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.840 And then you realize it doesn't matter, doesn't matter at all. 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:05.679 I mean it does for yourself where you're like, man, okay, 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:09.840 it didn't matter all matters, I could shoot all right, 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:11.240 let me get a couple of phone calls. Best and 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.000 worse of the weekend. Al Michaels will join us. I'm 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:15.440 going to talk to him about this. NFL put some 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.160 teams on hold while looking into the COVID nineteen test 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:22.600 from a New Jersey lab. All these false positives here. 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:26.000 If this had happened a month from now, this would 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:29.760 be a huge story because you would have teams that 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:33.679 might not be able to play. They'd be quarantine like 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:37.360 this is just false positive, seventy seven of them. They 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:41.160 wouldn't have enough time for turnaround here. It's a big deal. Now. 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.560 This is sort of a dress rehearsal here for the NFL, 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.440 and they got to get this figured out soon. But 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.920 we'll talk to the great Almichaels. He'll join us. Barry 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.120 in New York joins US Barry, thanks for holding what 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:55.040 do you have for me? Hello? Boys five nine one, 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:00.960 Thank you, Best of the weekend, and my New York 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:06.520 Islanders eliminating the Washington Capitals and embarrassing them so badly 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:11.560 the Caps fired their coach. Yeah, and I also still 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:15.120 hold a gudge against this guy for his dirty hit 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:19.120 in the ninety three playoffs against Pierre tour John. So 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:22.920 a special f you to Dale Hunter and worst of 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:27.240 the weekend Mets Yanks canceled because of COVID. Yeah, I 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:29.160 had and thanks for the phone called Barry. I have 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:32.000 a neighbor and he came over to my house because 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:35.400 whenever there's something sports wise then he wants to come over. 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:38.040 He had his Yankee hat on, his Yankee shirt on, 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:42.520 and he goes, can you tell me how I can 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:45.840 find the Yankee game? I go, well, they canceled the series. 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:50.200 No one told me. I said why. I don't know 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:54.040 if they're gonna call you ed but Edward or no. 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:57.520 I said, no, COVID, you know. So he's all dressed 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:01.560 up and it's like seven thirty and he he stays 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:05.280 outside of my driveway. He wants to know and uh, 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:08.600 he said, nobody told him that the Yankees series against 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:11.960 the Mets was canceled this weekend. David in New York 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:16.200 joins us Hi, David, what do you have for him? Hey? Man? Uh, yeah, 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.679 I would there with messy. I wouldn't give a shot out, 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:20.800 but they shot out to Kobe Bryant eight twenty four. 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:24.520 List in peace, Kobe, Um start off with the worst. 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:26.520 I mean, yeah, Barry the previous caller, you know, stow 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:29.720 my thunder with Mets Yankees. Uh, because you know, Mets 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:31.440 avoiding the sweep. You know they could have had it. 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.160 Yankees would have three once there, you know, win total 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:37.560 and U The best was the last ten minutes of 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.760 the match Clippers game. Um. I didn't watch most of 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:42.200 the game because I was caught up with you know, 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:46.079 the the Champions League. Oh man, man, what a game man, 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:49.120 and Luca's just cold blooded man. Yeah, it was good, 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:52.800 it was fun, but he made the shot. I just 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.280 wonder if he didn't make the shot and didn't try 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.760 to get a two point shot, or maybe where he 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:01.800 got found. I'm still just surprised at the defensive philosophy 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:06.040 there with the Clippers. Reggie Jackson's what sixty three, you know, 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:10.120 Lucas sixty eighth. Yeah, this is where I have Paul George. 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.600 If Paul George can't score, can he still play defense? 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:15.880 He's supposed to be one of the great They have 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:20.840 the two best two way players in the NBA, don't 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:24.120 they on the same team, Paul George and uh Kawhi Leonard. 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:27.560 As far as being great wing defenders and offensive players 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:31.600 and two way players, they're they're on the short list. 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:33.960 We know Kawhi is, you know Klay Thompson is, But 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.480 why is it one of those guys is not guarding 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:40.560 Luca don Chick. Yeah, the club. Yeah, they have Paul 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.600 George on. That guy who can't hit a shot, Maxie Cleibers, 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:46.240 he's keeping them the Clippers of the series. You made 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:49.960 that name up. No, it's Maxi cleiber Anyway, I have 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:52.920 the draft comp for Steve Nash. They're pulling in him back. 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:57.880 You're gonna laugh pretty hard. It's not Bob Kuzy No, no, no, okay, 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:07.280 but I'll save it. It's like John Crotty, Yes, everybody, okay, alright, 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.000 Jeff and Detroit. Then we'll take a break and make 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:12.480 way for al Michaels. On the program. Oh I just 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.920 saw where the Dolphins announced limited number of fans with 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:20.200 mask for home opener. The Dolphins will allow thirteen thousand 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:26.480 fans for their home opener and you must wear a mask. Hey, Jeff, 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.000 what do you have for me today? What up? No? 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:31.880 One time for chat row, one time for the people 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.880 at peacocks for normal what good talent is? And get 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:38.400 you on board? Look at you? Thank you, Jeff, listen 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:42.040 and all honesty. Though they run on my weekend, which 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.280 is the best and worse. I was supposed to go 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.760 to a wedding ninety degrees standing outside, I'm like, I 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:49.560 don't know if I want to go or not. I 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.440 get on a peacock look your stuff up, saying what 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:54.920 you know what Monday is gonna be like? Man, I 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:58.560 went into a wormhole. Dude. All those movies and all 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:02.840 that content, Bill Murray movies, Best Little Worehouse in Texas, 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:06.120 all the law orders for free ninety nine. Anything that's 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.920 free is all right with me. Now, I've got one 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:13.440 question for you. D okay coming up Luka DONI seems 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:17.200 like he's on his way. My question is which one 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:19.920 happens first? Luca gets m VP of the league or 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:24.080 Lebron James retires from the leekue. Thank you, Jeff, good 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:27.360 to hear from you. Thanks for doing some pr for 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:36.720 Peacock there as well. I'm thinking that Lebron has three 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:38.720 more years left. I thought that he would try to 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:42.400 play until his son, you know, Bronnie Junior, came in. 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.440 But I don't know if I don't know if he 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:50.480 gets to the point where he can't be Lebron where 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:53.720 he is just sort of that secondary player. Now he 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:56.080 wants in Anthony Davis to be the best player on 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:58.040 the floor. In the last two games, Anthony Davis has 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.480 been great, and if he is great, then I think 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:03.960 the Lakers will still win the title. You know. But 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:07.239 my issue is I don't know which Anthony Davis shows up, 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:11.680 and I can't have two personalities like Lebron and Anthony 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:16.520 Davis where they kind of defer. You know, they're not 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:18.960 as attack mode as I would love for them to be. 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:22.920 But Lebron is trying to bring out the best in 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:25.959 Anthony Davis and put him in positions to succeed. In 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:28.480 the last two games. Now, I'm really curious about tonight 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:32.240 because everybody's gonna go, Yeah, they solved all their problems. 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:36.199 They're shooting over thirty five percent from three point range. No, 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.439 it's game. It's gonna be game by game for them 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:43.000 with their shooting. It'll be game by game. We'll take 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.080 a break. The Great Al Michaels will join us next. 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:47.520 More phone calls coming up as well. It's nineteen after 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:51.040 the hour and this is the Dan Patrick Show.

Mclovin looked for the comp when 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:17.680 Steve Nash was being drafted and I just thought, well, 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:19.800 it has to be John Stockton. Is that who he 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:23.960 was compared to? Yeah, we pulled this out. It was 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:26.040 I'm not sure if it's ready, but it was. Rick 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:29.359 Madaris called him a poor man's John Stockton. Okay, but 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:32.040 who was John Stockton compared to? What was the comp 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:34.920 on John Stockton? Trying to find footage of the like 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:38.960 eighty four draft and I haven't found it yet.

What was the fun by the way, welcome, 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:35.720 welcome to Peacock. Well, thank you, thank you. Cool. What 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:38.600 was the first NBA game that you called? Do you 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:42.439 remember the first NBA game? When I did it for 0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:44.960 two years back in the oh three or four season, 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:50.880 Christmas Day three Houston at the Lakers. It was Yeo 0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:56.679 Ming as a rookie. It was the Kobe Shack, Gary Peyton, 0:20:56.960 --> 0:21:01.600 Carl Malone here with the Lakers, Phil Jackson threatening to retire, 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:04.439 which he subseluently did and then came back. So that 0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:05.879 was the first game I did. I did it with 0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:08.920 Doc Rivers. I was looking for a partner. They wanted 0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:11.119 me to do the NBA. The funny thing is I 0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:14.160 wanted to get some practice games in that year, and 0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:18.000 so Mark Jackson had retired and was living in Santa Monica, 0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:20.680 and we went down to Staples and we did the game, 0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:23.280 and Mark was good. I remember Mike Curl was the 0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:27.800 executive producer of the NBA, and Mike said, what'd you think? 0:21:27.880 --> 0:21:29.800 And I said, you know, Mark's going to be really 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:32.639 good someday. But he's green. He hadn't done it before. 0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:35.760 I hadn't done basketball in my twenty five years, so 0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:38.600 I really needed somebody who had some experience. And then 0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:41.640 my good fortune was that Doc Rivers got fired by 0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:43.760 Orlando that year. I think they started one and ten, 0:21:44.240 --> 0:21:46.119 and then he and I danced the Dance that year, 0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:48.679 and then he went to Boston and I did one 0:21:48.720 --> 0:21:50.880 more year of the NBA with Ubi Brown, the great 0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:53.960 Ubi Brown, who's still going strong. That was number one. 0:21:54.480 --> 0:21:57.640 When you're calling a game in person without the audience. 0:21:57.880 --> 0:22:00.879 But I think, how, I don't know if you've done that, 0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:03.600
