The nicest thing about it, though, 91 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 2: and this is the truth, the best thing about it 92 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,559 Speaker 2: is being able to share it with all the people 93 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 2: that are responsible. Because when I was given the award 94 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 2: that night on stage, I said, I wish I could 95 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 2: invite everybody who was responsible all up on stage with me. 96 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 2: But they haven't built a stage anywhere in the world 97 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 2: big enough to hold that many people. So from that standpoint, 98 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 2: it's really been wonderful sharing it with so many people 99 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 2: that helped me along the way. 100 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 4: Mike, can you take us inside the when you realize 101 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 4: when you get the phone call that you have made 102 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 4: it to the Basketball Hall of Fame?

So they sent me an email. 109 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 2: John Deliba, who is the one that's responsible.

So the call comes in and it said Vin Scully, 130 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:19,119 Speaker 2: Oh wow, And talk about again going through I've become 131 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 2: this emotional fool later on in life, seeing his name 132 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 2: up on the TV and picking up the phone and 133 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 2: hearing that voice on the other end, it was. It 134 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 2: was one of the most memorable moments. I mean, he's 135 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 2: somebody that anybody who's in our business looks up to, 136 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 2: not just because of his great success, but the type 137 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 2: of many he's always carried himself as. And so I 138 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 2: went through it again. I had a lot of those 139 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 2: emotional moments, but those two stand out. 140 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 3: That is very cool. Why have you become an emotional 141 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 3: mess as you've gotten older? Here, what's going on with you? 142 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 7: Mike? 143 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 4: I've noticed the same thing about myself, Like my kids 144 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 4: are off the college. Soon we're going to be empty nesters. 145 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 4: I'm crying on a daily basis. Why have you become 146 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 4: an emotional mess as you've got older? 147 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 2: Well, I cry at commercials for it's unbelievable. I'll give 148 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 2: a serious answer to this. I think it's just, you know, 149 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 2: as you get older in life, you start to really 150 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 2: understand and appreciate the things that mean the most to you. 151 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 2: And for me, it's it's the relationships and the friendships 152 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 2: and the family, and that stuff gets to me. And 153 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 2: I think that's part of it, is that you know, 154 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 2: you're just so appreciative and feel so blessed at the 155 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 2: life that that I've been given and uh and the 156 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 2: people that have made that life so much better. So 157 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 2: I think that's that's my reason why. But it comes 158 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 2: on at any moment. There's certain songs now that hit 159 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 2: me so my dad when I was I'm a crazy 160 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 2: music fan. Music is like a huge part of my life. 161 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 2: I listen to music every day. It's like it's in 162 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 2: my soul for crying out loud. So the other day 163 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 2: came on and people my age will member the song. 164 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 2: It's called the Wichita Lineman. It's a beautiful song. Written 165 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 2: by Glenn Campbell back in the sixties, and it's an 166 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 2: old timers song, but it's one of the first songs 167 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 2: that my dad played for me when we were kids. 168 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,599 Speaker 2: I'm one of six boys and he used to he 169 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 2: loved music, so he kind of introduced me to music, 170 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 2: and that was one of the first songs. So I'm 171 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 2: thinking of him when I hear this song, and every 172 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 2: time I hear it, I think of him.

So stuff happened. If you make 175 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 2: me cry on this on this podcast, I'm very upset 176 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 2: with you. 177 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,199 Speaker 4: I'm not gonna make you cry, I promise you. But 178 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 4: your poor mom I made six kids all boys. I mean, 179 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 4: that's terrible. I feel terrible for her. 180 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 3: That would have brought with her. 181 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 2: It was it was great. 182 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 3: It was great. 183 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,719 Speaker 2: It was like sports was not an option. It was 184 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,599 Speaker 2: it was expected in a house because my dad was 185 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 2: a big sports fan and we all just followed too. 186 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 2: But my mother always said that, you know, after two boys, 187 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 2: she thought it would be nice to have a girl. 188 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 2: After three, she would be okay, she goes, after four 189 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,959 Speaker 2: or five, she goes, this is all I know, I'm 190 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 2: sticking with the boy. 191 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 3: Where'd your love of music come from? 192 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 2: Uh? First from my dad and then three of my 193 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 2: brothers were older and uh, and they used to they 194 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 2: used to listen to records on the on the you know, 195 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 2: the on the record player. So I really got a 196 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,719 Speaker 2: lot from them. Like one brother was a was a 197 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 2: huge Jethro Tull fan, so I became a huge get 198 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 2: thro Tell fan. Another brother was a Springsteen fan, so 199 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 2: I became crazy Springsteen. And then you start picking your 200 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 2: own bands and uh. But it was really from my 201 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 2: dad and from my older brothers that I got to 202 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 2: love of music. And then we all took piano lessons 203 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 2: when we were kids. So I always played piano, and 204 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,559 Speaker 2: I've always loved music, whether it's classical, whether it's rock, 205 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 2: whether it's jazz that has anything piano in it. 206 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 3: Any grateful Dad in there, Oh sure, love love Greate, Yes, 207 00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 3: plus you have. 208 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 2: I would turned on even more to the Grateful Dead 209 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 2: in those years that I work with mister Walton, who 210 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 2: was is one of the all time great Deadheads. 211 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 4: I just saw a show with Bill and Luke out 212 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 4: in California a couple of weeks ago. I have now 213 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 4: seen three Dead Shows, Mike Breing with Bill Walton. I 214 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 4: am not certain. 215 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 3: Bill Walton realizes he has seen a single Dead show 216 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 3: with me. I think the great Mike Breing with us 217 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 3: voice of the NBA, Voice of the Next Mike did 218 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:31,599 Speaker 3: you know? 219 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 4: And I apologize if you don't want to discuss this, 220 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 4: it's fine, but I found it fascinating as you and 221 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 4: I were trying to coordinate this interview, and it took 222 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,839 Speaker 4: us weeks. Okay, you told me after the season that 223 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 4: you have an agreement with your wife that you put 224 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 4: the phone down for a week. 225 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 3: You know, check it, you know, look at it, you know, 226 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 3: use it. 227 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 4: I am wondering where that, like, how that happened, why 228 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 4: you do it, And I'm wondering if it's the best 229 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 4: week of your life. 230 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 2: Well, first off, I do have to check because I 231 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 2: do have kids that I have to check, So it's 232 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 2: not like I just put it in a draw. But 233 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 2: I don't call back for the first week because I'm 234 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,719 Speaker 2: on the road so much during those eight months and 235 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 2: I owe it to her to try and devote my 236 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 2: attention to being back home again. Plus it's I find 237 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 2: it so liberating to put the phone down. Lots of 238 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 2: times during the summer. I'll look at it in the morning, 239 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 2: I'll put it down, i won't look at it till, 240 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 2: you know, maybe dinner time or even later than that. 241 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 2: And those are the best days because you're not caught 242 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 2: up and checking Twitter, you're not caught up and checking 243 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 2: your emails, you're not caught up and returning you know, 244 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 2: twenty five texts that you receive, and you wind up 245 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 2: and enjoying the day more. It sounds goofy, and again 246 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 2: I sound so old when I say it, right, but 247 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 2: it is. It is one of the best weeks because 248 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 2: you're just worried about the present and nothing else, and 249 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 2: it's pretty wonderful. 250 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 4: Mike, did you notice you've called all the Golden State 251 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 4: Warriors titles? And I'm wondering, did you notice what I 252 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 4: think we all kind of at least notice from our 253 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 4: couches watching it on TV. It seemed to me like 254 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 4: Steph Curry enjoyed winning this one more so than any 255 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 4: of the other three that he's won. 256 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 3: Did you get did you get a similar feeling calling 257 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 3: the games? 258 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 2: One hundred percent? It was pretty cool to watch. You know, 259 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 2: he's he's emotional on the court, but I've never seen 260 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 2: him like that, and I've never seen him like break 261 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 2: down like he did when they finally realized that it 262 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 2: was all done. And I think it was for a 263 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 2: number of reasons. You know, the first ones are always 264 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 2: it's spectacular, it's exhilarating. But you also after you win 265 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 2: that first one. I've had a lot of players tell 266 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 2: me this, you realize just how difficult it is to 267 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 2: do when they try and do it again, and in 268 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 2: some ways, it means more and it's almost like a drug. 269 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 2: Not only has Curry talked about it, gianas Atanakupo talked 270 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 2: about that this year with us, where he said he 271 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 2: wanted the second one even more because the feeling of 272 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 2: winning it, it's like a drug. It's an addiction that 273 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 2: you just you can't compare it to anything else. He 274 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 2: said he watched the Super Bowl and watching the winning 275 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 2: super Bowl team made him, oh, my goodness, I need 276 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,839 Speaker 2: to win again. I need to win again. And I 277 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 2: think Curry felt the same way. And I also think, 278 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 2: you know, we talked about how Dwayne Wade sacrifice for 279 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 2: Lebron James. When Lebron James came to Miami, Wade had 280 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 2: already won a title there and James come in and 281 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 2: Wade basically gave him the keys to the car and said. 282 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 3: You're the guy. 283 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 2: I'll do whatever it takes. Well, Curry did the same 284 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 2: thing with Durant, and I don't think he got the 285 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 2: same credit that Dwayne Wade did, and they both deserve it. 286 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 2: Curry won a championship and Kevin Durant came and he 287 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 2: basically said you're the guy. And Durant was spectacular and 288 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 2: won the two finals MVPs and Curry was so good 289 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 2: with that the way he handled it, he just wanted 290 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 2: to win and now to come back again. And remember 291 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 2: he had a couple of years where they were awful 292 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 2: and it was because Thompson was out and Curry hardly 293 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 2: played that one year that I think they just realized 294 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 2: number one, how hard it is, number two, how special 295 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 2: it is. And it was nice to see that overflow 296 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 2: of emotion. I said in our closing that you know, 297 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 2: his hunger for winning has not changed despite all the titles, 298 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 2: and that doesn't happen with every player. 299 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 4: Mike, do you think when we twenty years from now 300 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 4: look back and talk about the all time greats, top 301 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 4: five players all and I know you don't get too 302 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 4: wrapped up of that stuff. 303 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 3: Do you think Steph is in that conversation? Now? 304 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 2: I hate that stuff I putting on, you know, one 305 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 2: top five or top ten. Jeff Aan Gandhi has a 306 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 2: great line. It's not his line, but he quotes it 307 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 2: all the time. Comparison is the thief of joy, right, 308 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 2: And I so believe that. It's just like, why do 309 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 2: we have to rank? Because every time you start ranking, 310 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 2: you have to wind up saying something negative about a 311 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 2: special player. Well, you're not in the top ten because 312 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 2: of this. Now the guy's a crazy spectacular player. Why 313 00:15:58,560 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 2: do we have to rank? And I know it's fun 314 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 2: for fans, and I know it's fun to have, you know, 315 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 2: arguments like that. I just go crazy on that. I 316 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 2: never put guys in he's the top by who's my 317 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 2: starting five of all time? I just there's too many 318 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 2: great players to be able to whittle it down to 319 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 2: just a small number. 320 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 3: That's solely fair. 321 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 4: But I will tell you, I will blame a place 322 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 4: that you used to work at, wfa N And they're 323 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 4: the reason. Okay, that sports radio station, Mike and the 324 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 4: Mad Dog, the other reasons we do it. What interests 325 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 4: you the most right now one free agency. Like you 326 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 4: mentioned Kevin Durant, I am shocked Mike that two years 327 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 4: into the experiment with Brooklyn we are back at basically 328 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 4: square one, where Kevin Durant is being shopped. The fact 329 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 4: that the Warriors won a title before Durant and Kyrie 330 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 4: won a title was pretty surprising to me. 331 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 3: But what do you make of what's going on with 332 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 3: the nets? 333 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 4: Are you surprised that the nets Kevin Durant Kyrie Irving 334 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 4: did not work out? 335 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 2: I was surprised the Irving thing not as much. I 336 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 2: think it was really frustrating for everybody last year with 337 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 2: him not being available on a regular basis. The Durant 338 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 2: part really did surprise me because I thought he was 339 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 2: happy there, you know, whether or not he was not 340 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 2: pleased with the way they handled the Kyrie Irving situation. 341 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 2: I mean, he's the only one that knows that. But 342 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 2: the thing about it, what makes it so interesting is 343 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 2: it's rare that one player can completely shift who's going 344 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 2: to be the favorite to win the title, and the 345 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 2: problem is to be able to get equal value for 346 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 2: that player is going to be almost impossible to do. 347 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 2: So it's you know, for example, how it impacts several things. 348 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 2: The league can't even make their schedule right now because 349 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 2: they don't know where Durant's going to be. If Durant's 350 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 2: going to be on Brooklyn, they'll be prominently figured in 351 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 2: big games on big days like a Christmas Day or 352 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 2: on national TV. But if he goes to another team, 353 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, that completely changes the schedule. 354 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 2: So his impact on what this means in terms of 355 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 2: where he goes is enormous. Like we've been very rarely 356 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 2: seen over the years. 357 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 3: I love that you're a dead fan. Now I want 358 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 3: to have you on all the time and just talk 359 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 3: about music I do. I don't even want to talk 360 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 3: basketball anymore. I just want to talk might for me. 361 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 2: Do you ever see the movie Mask? I have not, No, 362 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 2: Eric great, It's a great movie. Share is phenomenal in it. 363 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 2: The movie Mass is great, but it ends with the 364 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 2: song Ripple and it's perfect. Like I'm very big into 365 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 2: music and movie soundtracks and stuff. I've loved that, but 366 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 2: Ripple is the perfect ending to that movie. 367 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 3: I love that you love the dead like like this 368 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 3: is this is news to me. 369 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 4: You're gonna have to come to a dead show with 370 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 4: me Mike GREENO, guy, have you seen Dead in Company yet? 371 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 4: Or no? 372 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 3: I have not? 373 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 2: No? 374 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 3: Are you like? Is that because of your Jerry Guard? 375 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 2: See, I'm not. I mean I like their music, but 376 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 2: I'm not. I wouldn't call myself a dead head. 377 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 3: Okay, what's your favorite band. 378 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 2: As a kid? It was it was definitely Jethro Tell. 379 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 2: Love Jethro Tell. But I'm a I'm a Springsteen nut 380 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 2: right big into Peter Gabriel, Love Peter Gabriel. I'll go 381 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 2: on and on if you want to talk music. I 382 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 2: have so many different artists. 383 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 3: What's Van Gundy rocking? Ats it? 384 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 2: He like? 385 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 7: You know what? 386 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 2: He likes a little bit of everything. He's got a 387 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 2: very eclectic Sometimes I'll be sitting there sitting in an 388 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 2: arenas that a song will come on and he starts singing. 389 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 2: It's like, just shut off, you can no, He's he's 390 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 2: at the music, you know what. He listens because he 391 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 2: lets his daughters pick the songs when they're driving in 392 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 2: the car. So whatever the most recent song from them, 393 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 2: whenever he is the one that he's singing. Yeah, usually. 394 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 4: So, Mike, Outside of the nets and everything else going on, 395 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 4: what interests you the most right now in terms. 396 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 3: Of free agency in the NBA. 397 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 2: Well, again, when you have a player of Durant's magnitude, 398 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 2: it just everything just follows. Suit Like teams are going 399 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 2: to be hesitant to make a move until they know 400 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 2: for sure either that they can get him or when 401 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 2: they can't get him. So it kind of it's kind 402 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 2: of stalled the progress. There's still a lot of free agents, 403 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 2: not huge names that are out there that could really 404 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 2: help contending teams, but teams want to hold on to 405 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 2: their ability to make deals and have versatility in terms 406 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 2: of the cap and their roster until Durant makes his decision. 407 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 2: And that's going to be the most interesting part. How 408 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 2: long will that take for teams to get back involved 409 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 2: in it. How long will it take for Durant to 410 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 2: perhaps be dealt or with Brooklyn Hope that the fact 411 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 2: that they haven't made a deal that maybe he'll soften 412 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 2: on his trade request because they would love to keep them. 413 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 2: I don't think they want to keep Kyrie Irving again 414 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 2: because the unpredictability of his availability, but I think they 415 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 2: would somehow want to convince Kevin Durant that your best 416 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 2: chance at a championship is in Brooklyn. 417 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 4: Mike Breen with us, your voice of the NBA Hall 418 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 4: of Famer. Mike Breen joining us nice enough to join 419 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,120 Speaker 4: us here on stupidity. Mike, there was a time where 420 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 4: you call football right where you were doing giant preseason games. 421 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 2: I did giant preseasons for a few years. I did 422 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 2: a full schedule of the NFL, I think three years 423 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 2: with NBC and with Fox, and to this day I 424 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 2: miss it. There is something special about calling an NFL game. 425 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 2: You know, you do all the work during the week 426 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 2: and then it's about time for that kickoff and you're 427 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 2: sitting up in that booth. The adrenaline is like nothing 428 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 2: you can experience as a play by playout. So it's 429 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 2: really cool. And and I work with James Lofton was 430 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 2: my partner at NBC, the former Hall of Fame wide receiver. 431 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 2: He was great to work with. Billy Moss was was 432 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 2: one of my partners at Fox. And then one year 433 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 2: we at Fox, I was like the sixth or seventheen, 434 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 2: so I was doing the games that went to thirty 435 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 2: seven people, whereas you know, the main games go to 436 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 2: sixty five percent of the nation. But one thing they 437 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 2: did is they had a player from the bye week 438 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 2: was my analyst every week, So if a certain team 439 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 2: was off, one of the guys who wanted to get 440 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 2: into broadcasting was my analyst. And it was fun. It 441 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 2: was really fun. And one of them was Marcus Allen, 442 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 2: who was such a blest to work with and such 443 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 2: a great guy to be around. And you know, you 444 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 2: could see that he was going to do this later 445 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 2: on in his career as well. So the NFL experience 446 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 2: was great. You know, I'd still wish I was calling games, 447 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 2: but back then, with the NBA season so long, and 448 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 2: I had my kids were small, then it just it 449 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 2: took away. I was away too much, so I couldn't 450 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 2: do it anymore. I want to spend a little more 451 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 2: time at home. 452 00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,360 Speaker 3: It'd be a good time to jump back in, Mike. 453 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 4: I know you love your job, but you know, it'd 454 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 4: be a pretty pretty smart time to jump back into 455 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 4: the NFL. 456 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:05,199 Speaker 3: Right now. 457 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,719 Speaker 2: The salary for the for the NFL. I was seasing 458 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 2: Joe Buck about that. Now that Joe Buck's coming to ESPAN, 459 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 2: I said, you know, hey, where are you come out 460 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 2: to dinner? You're paying for dinner. The next fifty times 461 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 2: we go to dinner. But you know that's that just 462 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 2: shows you the popularity of the NFL. It's just no 463 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 2: matter what happens, it's still off the charts. 464 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 4: Well, it's funny because we were just out in Lake 465 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 4: Tahoe playing in the golf tournament and we had Joe 466 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 4: Bucked on the show and we were talking about the 467 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 4: explosion of money with the NFL broadcasters. 468 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 3: So what do you what do you make of that? 469 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,679 Speaker 4: Like I was trying to explain to Joe, Hey, if 470 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 4: there's a football game I want to watch, I don't 471 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 4: care who's calling the game, I'm going to watch the game. 472 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 4: And we were trying to come up with a theory 473 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 4: as to why all these entities, all these media networks 474 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 4: are spending so much on play by play and analyst 475 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 4: and and Joe thought because of credibility, and thought, you know, 476 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 4: al's had something to do with it and wanted to 477 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 4: present the best possible product. What is your theory on 478 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 4: what's going on right now in broadcasting, because it's a 479 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 4: great time to be an NFL broadcast right. 480 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 2: Well, I think Joe's right about the credit credibility factor, 481 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 2: and especially when for example, ESPN is going to have 482 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 2: their their very first Super Bowl and they want to have, 483 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 2: you know, special people out. I happen to think like 484 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 2: Steve Levy. I'm a huge Steve Levy fan. I've known 485 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 2: him since he first got in the business. He did 486 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 2: a great job. But Joe Buck is one of the 487 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 2: all time legends of the business. And yes, I agree 488 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 2: with you one hundred percent that nobody's not going to 489 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 2: watch a game because a certain announcer is doing it 490 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 2: or not doing it. But you can a good announcer 491 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 2: can really enhance the game for the fan in a 492 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 2: lot of cases. So if you're asking me to find 493 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 2: say that they're overpaying play by play guys, I'm just 494 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 2: not going to do it.

I mean, you put on a college game 530 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 2: that's the seventh game, and you're gonna hear a terrific 531 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 2: play by playboys, the NFL guys, the NBA guys. You know. 532 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 2: For example, let me just go with NBA right now 533 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 2: at ESPN, Mark Jones, fantastic, Dave Pash, one of the 534 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 2: most underrated play by play guys in the business, Ryan Ruco, 535 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 2: and then look over at tnt Iyan Eagle, who's one 536 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 2: of my best friends. This guy is as good as 537 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 2: anybody in the business doing not just NBA but anything. 538 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,959 Speaker 2: Guys like Brian Anderson, Kevin Harlan is spectacular. I mean, 539 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 2: there's so many good just NBA play by play broadcasters. 540 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 2: For me, though, like growing up, Marv was the biggest influence. 541 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 2: Marv Albert as a New Yorker and as a Nick fan, 542 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 2: and he's a big part of why I fell in 543 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 2: love with perhaps doing play by play. There are two 544 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 2: other guys that had a big influence on me in 545 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 2: terms of why I said I'd like to have a 546 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 2: little something what they have, and one was Dick Enberg 547 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 2: and the other was Verne Lunquist. And the reasons I 548 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 2: love them is because they had a certain warmth to them. 549 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,199 Speaker 2: When they were on the air, you felt like they 550 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 2: were your friend, and they were both interested in the stories. 551 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 2: Like dick Enberg his storytelling, he would make you feel 552 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 2: want to root for the backup left tackle because of 553 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 2: a quick story that he told about that player. And 554 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 2: Verne Lundquist, I don't think there's ever been an announcer. 555 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 2: It sounds like the guy he was sitting next to, 556 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 2: whoever his partner was, was his favorite person in the world. 557 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 2: And those are two people that really had an impact. 558 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 2: But I really mean what I'm saying. I know I'm 559 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 2: not fully objective because I'm in the in the industry, 560 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,199 Speaker 2: but there are so many good play by play voices, 561 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 2: and I know I'm going to be mad after this 562 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 2: is over when I went through some of the NBA 563 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 2: guys and I know there's somebody I left out, then 564 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 2: I'm going to be mad at myself forth. So if 565 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 2: that's the case, I'm calling you at three o'clock in 566 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,199 Speaker 2: the morning angrily to complain about asking me this ridiculous 567 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 2: top five questions. 568 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,959 Speaker 4: But Mike, everyone knows you're a great guy, Like everyone 569 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 4: knows you're the nicest man going, Like I mean, what's 570 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 4: the key to being a nice man? 571 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 3: You stop? 572 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 2: What kind of question? 573 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 3: I guess what I'm saying is no one's. 574 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 4: Going to get upset you left their name off the list. 575 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 4: Everyone knows my dude's a kind man. 576 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 2: They're all a thin skin bunch, So we really are that. 577 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 3: You were one thousand percent correct.

But the problem is he thinks he has 760 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 2: a decent voice, and that's always that's always disconcerned. 761 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,359 Speaker 3: Do you think Jeff's going to coach again? Ever? 762 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 2: I hope somebody is smart enough to hire them, and 763 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,799 Speaker 2: I hope somebody is smart enough to hire Mark. Those 764 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 2: two guys are They both have shown their ability to 765 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 2: coach get the maximum out of their teams. You know, 766 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,839 Speaker 2: I loved what Steve Kerr did after he took over 767 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,320 Speaker 2: Golden State and the credit he gave for the foundation 768 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 2: Mark built. Jeff just did a great job with Team 769 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:33,320 Speaker 2: USA in the qualifying recently. They're great coaches and I 770 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 2: to me, it's one of the all time mysteries neither 771 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:37,880 Speaker 2: one of them have been hired over the best or 772 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 2: however many years. It's it's a I don't want to 773 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,800 Speaker 2: say it's a disgrace, but it's it's so confusing to 774 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,000 Speaker 2: me because they're great coaches. 775 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,240 Speaker 4: I think what people forget about this Golden State Warriors 776 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 4: team is that Mark was really instrumental in putting this 777 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 4: team together with staff with Clay, with Draymond. It was 778 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:58,880 Speaker 4: the coach right before Steve Kirk came in. And I 779 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 4: guess you're sitting next to them all this time. I 780 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,360 Speaker 4: know he's happy for those guys. He loves those guys, 781 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 4: and those guys love him. But do you sense that 782 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,320 Speaker 4: maybe there's a little part that kind of eats it 783 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 4: Mark because he was not able to see that whole 784 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 4: thing through. 785 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,439 Speaker 2: No, you know what, he's an amazing man in terms 786 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,880 Speaker 2: of him able to see the big picture and and 787 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 2: you know, he's got a strong faith where whatever happens, 788 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,719 Speaker 2: he's you know, he lets it roll off him. I 789 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:27,399 Speaker 2: think the first the first year when they came back 790 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 2: and they won the title, after he was let go 791 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 2: that I think that was hard for him. But he handles, 792 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 2: he handles the ups and downs of life as well 793 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 2: as any man I've ever met. He's amazing that way, 794 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 2: how he keeps an even keel. 795 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 4: Mike, all right, we're gonna let you go here.
