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 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. I was just talking about my vacation where

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: I went to Montana fly fishing. You got a you

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: gotta like an adventure vacation you've ever taken. Now, Frizzy

5
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: has asked me, Dad, He said, what dangerous thing of

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: you done? Like? Nothing? Ever? I mean, no, no, no, no,

7
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: I've been. I've been to Montana, but i've not I've not.

8
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: And if I went there today, Dan, I would go

9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: with golf clubs trying to find that same course that

10
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: those guys played, you know, last week. But no, there's

11
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: no danger. I've never been fly fishing. I went fishing

12
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: once when I was eleven years old with my uncle

13
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: Bill in Chicago, and vowed never to go fishing again.

14
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: And I've kept that. Well, you're not an outdoorsman like me.

15
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: You're not a man, Okay, I'll take your word for that. Um,

16
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: what golf is somehow less you know less than fishing? Yes?

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: How many times are you? Okay? I've known you a

18
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: long time, we've known you a long time. I have

19
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: never heard you tell fly fishing stories. We've never had

20
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: We've never done that. Once every twenty years, Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

21
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: The last time I went fly fishing was in British

22
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: Columbia in nineteen eighty nine. What made you do it

23
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: this time? Uh? I had to man up a little bit.

24
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: I was getting a little soft. You know. You know,

25
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: you know how you you writers used to call us,

26
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: you know, talking hair dues. We still do. Yeah, even

27
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: though I would love to call you a talking hair dude.

28
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: You just you don't have any hair, that's right. Yes,

29
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: actually I fall outside that categorization. Um, before I get

30
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: to the Bucks and the Suns, the United States lost

31
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: in Nigeria. Yeah, okay, should we care about this as

32
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: we head into the Olympics with this team? And now

33
00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: I know there's some guys still playing in the fine

34
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: but it's it's a friendly. But the United States launched

35
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: to Nigeria in basketball. I was sitting. I was here

36
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: in Chicago to two nights ago and that game was

37
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: going on, and I was at the w NBA game,

38
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: UM Mystics and the Sky. I wanted to go and

39
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: see my friend Canvas Parker play. And I'm with a

40
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: bunch of guys who have been sportswriters, I think all

41
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: in TV now, all of whom you know, you know,

42
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: Jaya Donde, David Aldrich, Mark Spears, if any goodwill, you know,

43
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: the whole the Crue, Sean Powell. And we're sitting there

44
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: and we're monitoring this score, right, we're monitoring that game.

45
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: We're at a game, and we're going Each guy turns

46
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: the other and goes, oh my god, we're losing the

47
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: Nigeria with you know, seven minutes left, with four minutes left,

48
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: with thirty seconds left, and then the case. The question

49
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,399
Speaker 1: from each one of us to the other was how

50
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 1: big a deal is this? Like should we care about this?

51
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 1: Is it a friendly? Is it an exhibition? Is it

52
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: a warm up? Is a practice? Is Kevin Durant really playing?

53
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: And so even as you ticked off, the answers kind

54
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: of yes, yes, yes, I think it's important because we

55
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: never even remember how crazy the reporting of the scrimmage loss.

56
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: The Dream Team lost, like Chris Webber and Grant Hill

57
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: and Bobby Hurley and as I don't even know who

58
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: I was on that team, but those guys were the headliners,

59
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: and we cared about it. And those guys Jordan Barkley,

60
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: Magic Bird, they wanted us to care because they cared.

61
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: They cared enough to threaten the lives of those college

62
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: players right and said you will be shut out summarily tomorrow,

63
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: and which they essentially did. They cared and they wanted

64
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: us to care. So using that criteria, Dan, we got

65
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: what's the what's the care scale? Like? Is it a seven?

66
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: Is it's not a nine? I'm gonna go better than five, though,

67
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: what about you? Yeah, I'm up there with it. But

68
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: I think it's really a testament to the rest of

69
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: the world that how important basketball is. And you can

70
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: go back to the Dream Team and what the Dream

71
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: Team birthed around the world, and I think we've seen that.

72
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: I think you've seen that with the you know, players

73
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: from Europe who come over, you know, the Greek Freak,

74
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what that impact had on him,

75
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: or Luca don Chickum, you know, the Joker, like these

76
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: guys who you know, probably were young, if if they

77
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: were even born, and watching that Dream Team and what

78
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: that Dream Team meant, getting videos, getting VHS tapes in

79
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: you know, these other countries. I mean that the importance

80
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: of that is not lost on me. So as much

81
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: as I'd like to say the United States went through

82
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: the motions give credit to Nigeria that this really meant

83
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: something to them. And Dan, I've been on this crusade

84
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: that the All Star Game, which has become a complete

85
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: and utter waste of time, the NBA All Star Game

86
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: waste of time. I don't want to see people choosing

87
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: upsides and go with shirts and skins. I don't give

88
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: a damn about that. The NBA, for some reason is

89
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: studiously avoiding having US versus the world. If we had

90
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: that game even the last five years. Okay, just thinking

91
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: we had the game this coming All Star game, right,

92
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: look a look at the look at the bigs. You've

93
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,119
Speaker 1: got just the front line you mentioned Janni's of course,

94
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: Mbi Joker, the MVP of the league. If you just

95
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: had the three of them, and you've got don Ju

96
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: you've already mentioned, and you've got Jamal Murray. Okay, is

97
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,239
Speaker 1: that a starting five you'd like to see play against

98
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: an All Star team of US pedal courses? And I

99
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: don't know if the league is embarrassed that it might

100
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: that the US team even though the NBA all those

101
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: guys belong to that fraternity. Why won't they do it?

102
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: Why won't they do something that you could actually sink

103
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: your teeth into All Star Week as opposed to the

104
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: junk that it is. Junk. It's just it's an exhibition

105
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: of dunky. Were already got a dunk contest. Let's see

106
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: the best in the world, because you know there's pride,

107
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: they'd want to do it. If you put those those

108
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: ten guys out there, those twenty four guys out there,

109
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna want to win and the All Star Week

110
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: and becomes something valuable instead of the junk that the game.

111
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: The game is junk. But you look at the testament

112
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: to the rest of the world. I am one hundred

113
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: percent with you on that. And look at again, I

114
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: just named five guys off top of my head. Yeah,

115
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: look at all the players that you have coming along,

116
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 1: the young Canadian players in addition to Jamal Murray, the

117
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: young African players. Going back to your question about Nigeria,

118
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: I think this is a significant development and I'd like

119
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: to see it explored more by the NBA. He's a

120
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. Michael Wilbon, ESPN's Pardon the Interruption co

121
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: host and of course part of the ESPN ABC's NBA coverage.

122
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: Jannis is always interesting and it's not like he's polarizing.

123
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: I think people want to make his style polarizing or

124
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: his star status polarizing. And I always wondered about this.

125
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: When I watched Will Chamberlain play, I never said, gush,

126
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: I don't know why he's not taking jumpers. When I

127
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: watched Shack, I never said, gush, he's not taking jumpers.

128
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: When I watched Kareem, I never said, boy, he doesn't

129
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: do anything other than a sky hook. Why is it

130
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: that we can't just like the Greek freak can be dominating.

131
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: I don't need him to shoot a three to keep

132
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: the defense honest. You know, Ben Simmons has to learn

133
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: to shoot because he's on the perimeter and he handles

134
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: the ball. I want the Greek freak down low, dominating,

135
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: like I'm okay with that, Mike every possession, Dan, you

136
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: know this means we're old that first of all, let's

137
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: start with that. Let's just let's just declare you and

138
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: I are. That's assumed we're philosophically aligned completely, So okay here,

139
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: I don't want him shooting threes. I do want him

140
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: to develop a fourteen to sixteen foot shot so the

141
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: wall they put up he can do something else other

142
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: than maybe pick up two or three offensive files a

143
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: game trying to crash through it. So that's as far

144
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: as I go. Otherwise, I am entirely with you. His

145
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: team's shortcomings to this point are not his fault at all.

146
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: When you go forty two and thirteen a couple of nights,

147
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: don't tell me what more that guy needs to do.

148
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: Somebody else needs to do more. And I think it's

149
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: polarizing Dan, because we've got this thing, which is fairly

150
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: attractive otherwise, positionless basketball. I do applaud that and the

151
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: versatility it brings to the game for others. But my god,

152
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: this guy is a great player. He's a legitimate two

153
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: time MVP. The shortcoming seemed to belong more to his

154
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: coach and his teammates, and I don't need to see

155
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: him do anymore. I need to see him do what

156
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: he did last night. In fact, when he wanders out

157
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: there and shoots the three, he hurts his team. His

158
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: team is less is less, And this is just dumb.

159
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: The fact that the Bucks may come out Wednesday night

160
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: and go out and hoist threes and be down by eighteen,

161
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 1: because this is what they've done the whole postseason. They

162
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: play a specific way. You know, it works, It works

163
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: to the tune of championship level play. And it's just

164
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: Kendrick Perkins, you could say and drink my man. Kendrick

165
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: was a bit strong when he said the dumbest team

166
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: every in the finals. But but Dan, they do so

167
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: they do things. You just can't understand what they're doing

168
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: because they've proven they can win this way kicking your

169
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: butt in the paint with that guy leading the way.

170
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: Oh but it's not good enough even for them. So

171
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I'm with you. I don't get it,

172
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: and I think it hurts something. Well, look, Chris Middleton

173
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: and Drew Holiday are you know they're not guys that

174
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: are you're going to build around. But they need to

175
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: be complimentary figures that I just want Yannis down low.

176
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: I don't want him handling the ball bringing it up

177
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: the floor, because you can set up that wall that

178
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: Miami did last year in the playoffs if I have

179
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: him down low, Okay, now what are you gonna do?

180
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: And if Middleton and Holiday hit shots, that to me

181
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: makes them formidable. If everybody stands around for Yannis to

182
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: dribble down and then try to break through, then you're

183
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: not getting good basketball. If I put him down low,

184
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: Adan's got to guard him, you put him in foul trouble.

185
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: And then I got Middleton and Holiday who were going

186
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: to be single covered and maybe at times, you know,

187
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: left alone. That to me would be, you know, my

188
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: approach to this for the Milwaukee Bucks, and that is

189
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: the approach. I sat with both both games in Phoenix,

190
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: and between Isaiah Thomas and Avery Johnson, and you know, again,

191
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: I'm sitting with guys who now would be called by

192
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: the entire basketball world younger than them, old guys. They're

193
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: only guys who are you know, great and played with

194
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: intellect and won championships. And they said exactly what you're saying.

195
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: I was waiting for. I'm waiting for them knowing basketball

196
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: the way they do to say no, it's okay to

197
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: do this. And they're both and they coached, and they're going,

198
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: oh my god, what is this? Why isn't he here?

199
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: And he's a willing passer, right, and he's a tough guy.

200
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: He's a legitimate tough guy who doesn't shy away, and so, okay,

201
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: the free throws could be your problem, and maybe that's

202
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 1: a problem late in a you know, in a game,

203
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: not last night, but Dan, That's that's the Milwaukee Bucks conundrum.

204
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: How are they gonna do? What are they gonna do

205
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: Wednesday night? And what are they going to do in

206
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: what many presumed to be a game five Saturday back

207
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: in Phoenix. Another thing that I don't understand is as

208
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: much as I love watching Devin Booker, Devin Booker can

209
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: disappear on you, and you know, for a guy who

210
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: has that mamba mentality and Kobe was there to mentor him,

211
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: I just don't see that as much. And you know,

212
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: maybe I'm asking too much, but we've seen a guy

213
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: scored seventy in a game. I just I expect him

214
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: to be maybe more consistent in in that just pressuring

215
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: the defense there and there are times he just sort

216
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 1: of floats and gives you a three for fifteen night.

217
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: I think that he hasn't. This is his first time

218
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: on any stage, his first time, I remember, this is

219
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: first time in the playoffs, and I think he's learning

220
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: still the difference between that level of pressure and becoming

221
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: that consistent. He had a bad game last night. Although

222
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: I think what happens is I mean every I mean

223
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: as great as they are the level of player above

224
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: him and more experience. They had bad games too. I mean,

225
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure Lebron has had a bad game or two

226
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: in a series. I think I want Booker to have

227
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: out of a six game series, I want him to

228
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: have three great games. I think he's done that. I

229
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: think he's done that now. Last night he had a

230
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: bad game and now here's where we got to see

231
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: the star bounces back. You know when Kobe told him famously,

232
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: as he wears the tattoo to be legendary, this is

233
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: when you create your legend. This is when you build it. Now,

234
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: he did it against the Lakers, he did it against Denver.

235
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: He even did it against the Clippers multiple games where

236
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: he was great. Now, he did it in games one

237
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: and two. He didn't do it in game three. Obviously,

238
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: if if Devin Booker is going to be that guy

239
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: that you are talking about, and I believe he can be,

240
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: then he needs to do that in game four and

241
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: maybe five or four and six. He's got to do

242
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: that two more times to get to be the best

243
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: player on the floor. Chris Paul is the most important

244
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: player on the floor. We're in his jersey that Jersey,

245
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: But he's got to do it to get them to

246
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: hoist that trophy. And then he's sort of fulfilling what

247
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: Kobe thought he could be the Lakers in the offseason.

248
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: Lebron's a great recruiter, but I don't know how much

249
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: maneuverability they have to be able to recruit. If if

250
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: you're the Lakers, what would you be What would be

251
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: priority number one? Well, you got to figure out and

252
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can figure this out, but

253
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: the priority would be how is Anthony Davis going to

254
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: consistently contribute? And look, I love Anthony Davis, right, I

255
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: mean his game, who he is, I'm predisposed he's a

256
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: Chicago boy like I am. I love him Davis. But

257
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,599
Speaker 1: when people say top five player, I'm like, I'm not.

258
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: I'm not going there because I can name five I'm

259
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: gonna take ahead of him. Now he's in that next

260
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: group and there's no sin in that. My god, you

261
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: could be a he's been a championship player already. But

262
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: you gotta figure out what you're gonna get from him

263
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: and how frequently, because because I don't believe Dan, and

264
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what you believe about this I don't

265
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: believe these injuries and people missing all this time. I

266
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: don't believe these are one offs. I believe this is

267
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: where the league is. I believe they are to go

268
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: to a sixty five game schedule, which they're not gonna do.

269
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: How reliable can he be going forward with Lebron? And

270
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: he's got to get in shape, Mike, I agree, I agree.

271
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: So so you gotta figure you gotta address that. And

272
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: if you come up with an answer, you think it's

273
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: satisfactory if you're the Laker's brass and you know you're

274
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: a Lebron okay. But if that's not your answer, then

275
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: what do you do? Who's your second guy? You know

276
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: there's all this buzz out there now, you know I'm

277
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: around you know when you're an NBA circles? My god,

278
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: the rumors about the NBA trades, acquisitions, free agency are

279
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: the juiciest ones. Most of them make no sense. But

280
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: the Lakers have so little flexibility that they can't just

281
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: go and get somebody. They're gonna have to either make

282
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: a deal, be very creative, get Anthony Davis. Anthony Davis

283
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: play seventy two games next year and be Anthony Davis.

284
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: Well that hasn't happened like all that often. So I

285
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: think determining that to the degree that you can is

286
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: the place that the Lakers have to start. Would you

287
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: trade Anthony Davis for Damian Lolly? I knew that was

288
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: gonna come on. That's one of those I was talking about. Okay,

289
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: my first inclination is yes, But where do you get them? Okay,

290
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: so let's say you got Damon Lebron out there? Do

291
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: you have size? You have? I mean, I mean wings

292
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: who are six eight and sixty nine seem to be

293
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: growing on trees. And again all we got to do

294
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: because go back and watch Nigeria beat the beat the

295
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: US and that that friendly. So where do you get that?

296
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: Like where? I mean, you know, they don't have that

297
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: otherwise And it seems to me that dynamic, I mean

298
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: Lebron is that. But you need a couple. You can't

299
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: just go say, well, Paul George would be a great

300
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: fit as a two and a half or three. Let's

301
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: get him and he can. You can't. They don't have

302
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: the money. They don't. I'm told I was told all

303
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: week stop they don't. They can't do what you're maybe suggesting.

304
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: What about Porzingis for Ben Simmons, well, what is Lebron

305
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: at this point? We know Lebron has been patient enough. God,

306
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: the years that Lebron led teams to the finals that

307
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: didn't have it anywhere near what you're talking about suggests. Okay,

308
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: Lebron is gonna work with these guys at this stage?

309
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: Is he gonna be patient enough? Porzingis plays like forty nine,

310
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: he plays fewer games. And Anthony Davis, well, hell but

311
00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 1: if you said Philly and Dallas, now I don't like it,

312
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: just because Lucas always got the ball, and like, what's

313
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: the complimentary player who can play with Luca Dame? Not complimentary,

314
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: but a shoot like, seriously, a guy who can just

315
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: who can shoot it out of the Dame's unfair. Okay,

316
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: So next level guy, um, you know a top twenty player, Okay,

317
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: CJ McCollum. Well, well, now, and see we know CJ

318
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: doesn't have to have the ball, because we've seen Dame

319
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: have the ball and that worked or at least a

320
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: degree the conference final. Here's gonna happen for them, though,

321
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: Dan real quickly, Luca's got to be more mature. Luca

322
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: right now is like he's like uh, glorified, not glorified.

323
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: He's Rashid Wallace in terms of impact. Obviously he has

324
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 1: the ball and he has more diverse skills and all that,

325
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 1: but he's out of control. He is completely immature on

326
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: the floor. He undermined his own effort in that series.

327
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: They should have won because he's screaming at the other

328
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: bench because he's up thirty to nine. He is unbelievably

329
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: immature and they gotta fix that. Andy and Rick Carlisle

330
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: leading people don't leave when a player is great. It's

331
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: Luca don Yeah, but they left, so something, something else

332
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: has to be done there. I don't think it's just

333
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: player acquisition, but I'm I'm kind of with you there

334
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: on who he needs. Hey, great to talk to your

335
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: congrats on the Hall of Fame. Thank you. Tell Todd

336
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: never introduced me that way ever again, Sir Michael Wilbon

337
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: joining us. Have you been knighted yet? If I can

338
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: be like certain Nick, I'll be knighted. Hey, can't you

339
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: come to a game? Can't you bring the whole party

340
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: to a game like old times? From turning into Tony

341
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: being in the attic for you know, for the rest

342
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: of your life. It was fun having you a game.

343
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 1: You know what, Mike, when the Bulls are back, I'm

344
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: bringing the guys to Chicago. How's that? There's your guy.

345
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: There's your guy for Luca Zach Levine. Although I don't

346
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: want to lose Zach from what they're trying to do

347
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: in Chicago, so I strike that. Thank you, Mike. Great

369
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: he's he's gonna out do everybody well combined. There's gonna

370
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: be more home runs, but he's gonna hit the longest one. Dan.

371
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you when I first went to Angels camp

372
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: three years ago and show hey just been there like

373
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: two days, two or three days. I got there fairly early.

374
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: I get to camp and I'm like Mike Trout, so

375
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: I'm standingard time to Mike, and Mike tell me about

376
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: show you a time, and he grossed me by shoulder goes.

377
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: I've never seen power like this ever. I'm like, are

378
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: you kidding me? And Justin Upton walks up and he says, Harold,

379
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: he hits some on the rocks one handed. All you

380
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: gotta be kidding me. Now we're really sitting it if

381
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: I'm believable. Yeah, I'm always curious about this question that

382
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: comes up about Hey, would you have him just concentrate

383
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: on hitting or would you just let this play out?

384
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: I mean they lost him already for a season due

385
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: to arm injury with pitching, but how would you how

386
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: would you play this out with Shohey out Tony if

387
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: you were Joe Madden. I think he chose a perfect manager.

388
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: I let it play out, you know. And the other

389
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: thing is we get caught up and worried about how

390
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: great was bo Jackson. When we look back at him,

391
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: we had him doing football and baseball. That's an amazing story.

392
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: So if you take away the pitching from show, hey,

393
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: he's just another glorified home run hitter. That's the fact

394
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: that he's pitching, throwing one hundred miles an hour. That

395
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: makes him an attraction like we've never seen before. So

396
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: let him keep doing it. How is he as a pitcher?

397
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: Great stuff? I think too early on they used too

398
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: many breaking balls put him in trouble. The last three

399
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: or four games I've watched the pitch. He started attacking

400
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: with a fastball, and you know, when you're throwing ninety

401
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: seven ninety eight, and nobody's ever hit you. I remember

402
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: this with you, Darvis. I went to you Darvis's first

403
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: game when he came over here, all the hype in

404
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: the Springs training and I don't remember who it was.

405
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: They turned around his fastball and hit it over the

406
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: Monster seven and he started throwing breaking balls the rest

407
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: of the game. You gotta think they've never had anybody

408
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: hit that fastball. Yeah, so I think they had to

409
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: happen to show Hey too, starting to figure it out? Now?

410
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: Is there a pitch you can get him out on?

411
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: Because it feels like everybody's got a hold. There's a

412
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: book on you. After a couple of times through the league. Yeah,

413
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: I think you can go down and out on him

414
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: a lot more, and you can keep him off speed

415
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: with some some breaking balls. Um. The amazing thing about

416
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: what he's doing offensively is Mike Trout's out and they

417
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: keep pitching to him, but he's not Glad's doing. I

418
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: don't get it. But also when I when I want

419
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,719
Speaker 1: the sound, I told people if I just showed up

420
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: and listened to him hit that take britting practice like

421
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: that would be. I don't need to see the ball,

422
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: I hear the ball and it just sounds different. Do

423
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: you remember a guy that had that similar sound when

424
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: the ball left his bat as Bo Jackson. You know,

425
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: I sound like the old buck O'Neill talking about Josh Gibson,

426
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: Babe Ruth and bow Jackson. This all the time. He

427
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: heard those sounds, and I'm telling him another bow Jackson

428
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: the story for us. So we're hitting in the Kingdom

429
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: early and now it's bow knows boas full four. He

430
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: already runs over Bob's worth. He's round eighties one hundred

431
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: yards for touchdown to Kingdoms. And the next year he's

432
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: taking BP and he's telling me he's already thrown me out.

433
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: So we became friends. He's telling me, you know, switch

434
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: hit or either you can't run and you can't switch hit.

435
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: And he's taking BPS hit and he turns around the

436
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: left side and says, Bosa, switch hitter. And he hits one. Dan.

437
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: He hits one into the fifth deck in the Kingdom. Now,

438
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: I've been there ten years in Seattle and I only

439
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: saw five balls up there. It was ridiculous. So that's

440
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: how I think them. So it's the only athlete I

441
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 1: can think that we've never come across before. His bow.

442
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: But if he had concentrated on just baseball, if Bo

443
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: Jackson had finished that statement, well he'd be in Cooperstown.

444
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it that he was just starting

445
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 1: to figure it out. The other thing, if you dropped

446
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: Bo into this generation right now, where strikehouse didn't matter,

447
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: we may not see the broken bat over the knee,

448
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: but we see some big swings and some long balls.

449
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: But also Reggie Jackson famously, you know he struck out

450
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: more than anybody. But imagine Reggie Jackson in today's baseball world.

451
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: It was just it's just a different game. It just

452
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: really is. I mean, it's like your favorite sport, like basketball,

453
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 1: guys shooting threes all the time. Imagine all the great

454
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: scores of the year's pass those guards like pistol, peat

455
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: and stuff with the three point line. And if you

456
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: said that's the most important, it's just a different time

457
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: we're playing in. He's Harold Reynolds, he former Gold Glove winner,

458
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: gave us one of his gold gloves and then famously

459
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: took it back u MLB network analysts. Yeah, that still hurt,

460
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: because you know what, it was such a crappy trophy

461
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: that when when we first got that like we thought

462
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: it was gold and it was just a glove. They

463
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: spray painted Harold and said, here's your gold glove. That

464
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: thing was gold that would have been spent a long

465
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: time ago. Um, are the Astros trying to play the

466
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: role of victims. It's so tired that, look, you're gonna

467
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: get booed. You've been booed. I understand if you have

468
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: an injury and you're not coming to the All Star Game,

469
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: I'll give you a pass. I understand it. But if

470
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: it's what I'm hearing that they're not coming because they

471
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: don't want to be booed. It is one of the

472
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: tiredest things I've ever heard in sports. It's not living

473
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 1: up to the responsibility of what you should be and

474
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: it's disappointing to the to the to the course disappointed.

475
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: If that's the case, well you had l twove when

476
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: you know he hits the walk off and look, he's

477
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 1: a wonderful player, and I don't know what s somebody's

478
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: backing up. Hey, I got damn Patrick. Yeah, I don't

479
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: want you to get hurt. Harold. Hold on second, I

480
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: want to see this is Dan Pat's live right now?

481
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: He said, can you stop the beef and you're messing

482
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,959
Speaker 1: up the show. See Dan, you got pull man, all right,

483
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 1: it is that the porta potti guy. No, actually uh

00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, appropriately yeah, right on queue with me talking

00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: to you. I'll be like thirty more seconds. He's not

486
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: gonna let me talk much longer. Yeah, I don't want

487
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: you to. Harold Reynolds injured by porta potty is not

488
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: a good headline for you. See you get everything down here. Yeah, uh, well,

489
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: they're getting ready. You know, there's our set breadml Bates night.

490
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: But the red carpet is gonna run through here, Dan

491
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: as well. They're gonna have fans lined up on the

492
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: side over there and over there, and the players will

493
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: walk straight down there on the red carpet all the

494
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: way to the stadium and of the entrance there. So

495
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: that's why I'm staying. Hey, have fun, we'll be watching

496
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: later today. Always great to catch up with you. Thanks

497
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: my friend Harold Reynolds. Yeah, Harold gave us one of

498
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: his gold gloves and then we got it and I went,

499
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: what a disappointment. He loaned it to us and we

500
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: got it. We went, that's all you get for being

501
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: a gold Glove winner. It was just a baseball glove,

502
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: and it was it was spray painted, and then it

503
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: had two two baseballs there, and I thought, you could

504
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: have made this in shop class. By the way, MLB

505
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,239
Speaker 1: Networks covered to the All Star Game festivities starts at

506
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: two Eastern today, Tomorrow at three Eastern plus. MLB Network

507
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: will debut a documentary on Fernando Tatis Junior this Wednesday

508
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: at eight eastern. Isn't it a little early for a

509
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: documentary on Fernando test Tatis Junior? The early years of

510
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: Fernando Tatis and Junior the Third Yes, pab. When Harold

511
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: sent us that gold glove again, I've never seen one

512
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: in person. I thought he was punking us, Like he

513
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: got someone to put a little wood stand, grabbed all

514
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: rawlings a two thousand and some rustoleum and sent it in.

515
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 1: I thought we were being punked. Yeah, that was bad.

516
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: I felt bad because you know, Harold won three of those,

517
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: and I thought, you know, when when Darius Rucker loaned

518
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: us his Grammy, now that had some weight to it.

519
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 1: That that was it wasn't as big a trophy as

520
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: I thought. I mean, it's not as big as a

521
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: sports Emmy that I have, but you know, it was

522
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: pretty cool. And then you get the heisman that Carson

523
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: Palmer loaned us. Now that that's like almost fifty pounds,

524
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: you know. See, do you think the gold gloves that

525
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: they give out now are the same that they did?

526
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: And say, what like the late eighties early nineties maybe

527
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: when playing I hope I hope they've upgraded, because I

528
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: would not want to win a gold glove if that

529
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: was what my prize was. You boot a few, yeah,

530
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: I'd be like, I don't want that. Damn good. Yeah

531
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: you can't really put it in with other trophies that

532
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: you have. Yeah, I'm the club. Do we have to

533
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: be quiet about the heisman? So no one comes after that?

534
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: Again there's a pattern. Oh I know, but who would

535
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: come in? They have no rights to do. Well, it's

536
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer's, but we thought it was Darius Ruckers. And

537
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: then the Grammys said you got to get that back.

538
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: You can't be loaning that out, and I thought, wait,

539
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: this is Darius's Grammy. And then Darius said, oh, I

540
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: don't want to upset the Grammys where you know, I

541
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: don't win another Grammys. And we had to send it

542
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: back to We had to overnight that damn thing. It

543
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: probably cost me, you know, three hundred dollars to make

544
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: sure I got it back to Darius. And then we

545
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: saw Darius. He was joining us, and he was in

546
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: his bedroom and he had his Grammys underneath a nightstand

547
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: there and even on display. We're trying to give the

548
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: Grammy's a little publicity here, and the Grammys could use that, Yes, Todd,

549
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: was it more awesome or disappointing to find out that

550
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer was leaving his coveted Heisman trophy with cobwebs

551
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: on it, like in the garage before he sent it

552
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: to us? Um, if you have actors who have their

553
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, Academy awards that they'll put in the bathroom,

554
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think you know in Carson's mind

555
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: like I won it, but it doesn't define me and

556
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: I don't need to put it on display. Plus you

557
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about somebody stealing it if they

558
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: don't even know that it's there. Yeah, mcclemen. No, we

559
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: gotta get a hold of a green jacket for the studio,

560
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: and we're not going to get that. What if I

561
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: point John rom loves us. What if he but we

562
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: know they just don't let that. That would be bad.

563
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: It would be great, but it would be bad if

564
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: if somebody from Augusta tuned in, somebody from the Masters, like,

565
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: whose green jacket is that? It's it's a Phil Minicholson's Phil. Yeah,

566
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: Paul I got the twenty twenty m WEILB Gold Glove Award.

567
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: It's a little different than the one in Harold Reynolds Day,

568
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: but it appears to be the same spray painted on

569
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: a perch there. It's pretty cool, says Rawlings. There's a

570
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: couple of baseball. Oh no, it's not cool at all.

571
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: If you're it's like a car that has imperfections. If

572
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: you're thirty feet away, it's a great looking trophy. Yes,

573
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: if you're about ten feet away, it's a great looking trophy.

574
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:17,719
Speaker 1: Why don't you get up and see that it's uh,

575
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: it's the Rawlings glove with paint. Yeah, it's just it's

576
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: it's a well done job. This missing the macaroni, but

577
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: around the thing it looks like kind of like the

578
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: Notre Dame helmets, the kind of gold spray paint the

579
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: current Notre Dame. Yeah, you could make that in shop

580
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: class and do a better job in shop class. Yes, Todd,

581
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: I don't understand why that's kind of a big deal

582
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: winning a gold glove. I know more than a few people.

583
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: I think it used to be. How is that not

584
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: that's a pretty impressive thing to get a gold for

585
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: it to look like some kind of replica. Tell me,

586
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: tell me who won gold gloves last year? That's a

587
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: that's exactly nobody cares. We used to We used to

588
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: care about things like fielding. But the person that I

589
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: want it should cares, and I'm sure we'd like it

590
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: to not look like something that came out of shop

591
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: class in junior high school. Yes, I have a solution.

592
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: If you win, Let's say you win a gold glove

593
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. The next year you play the entire

594
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: season with an actual gold glove. So when people look

595
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: down the fielding, hey, why is that shortstop got a

596
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: gold glove on? He's a winner? So now you get

597
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: more publicity for it. I'm barely kidding. No, I think

598
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: you could do that, but I don't know if they

599
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: would let you. With the color of it. I know,

600
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: based on as all these unwritten rules, Rawlings could put

601
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: together a special gold tipped glove. And now when you

602
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: look in the field and your kid goes, why does

603
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: that guy have one that's different everybody else? Well, because

604
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: he's won the best fielder, I'd like it. Yeah, yeah,

605
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: like Nolan Erronado down at third base and he's got

606
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: a gold glove. Yes time. But if you're making an

607
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: Eric calls that much more attention. I think you're a

608
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,719
Speaker 1: gold glove. You've got this big sparkly thing on your

609
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: hand and a well, right, I don't know if they're

610
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: as sensitive as the astros are and they don't want

611
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: to be yelled at. Stop it, stop booing. We're not

612
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: going to the old star game. Boohoo. Let's go around

613
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: the room. Best and worst of the weekend, Todd. I'm

614
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: going to start with you. It could be best and

615
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: worst of the week since we were on vacation. My

616
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: best is Satellay's women's doubles match at Wimbledon. Hopefully I'm

617
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: going to pronounce this right. Shay Suway of Taiwan and

618
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: at least Mertons of Belgium won the women's doubles titled Wimbledar.

619
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: I found it very fascinating the doubles. It was really

620
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: great in the process. They saved two match points against

621
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: the Russian duel of Veronica kudr Matova and Yelena Vesnina

622
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: than European feat. I really did hilarious. I think that's

623
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: what I like. You didn't watch the men's doubles. I

624
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: did not, but I will say doubles is exciting because

625
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: they're right up with the right and the guys do

626
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: the same thing, and well, yeah, I figured they do

627
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: something similar. But I preferred watching the worlds Worst the

628
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: Brave Star ronalds So I know, I like the beach volleyball.

629
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: I like what I like. You're very transparent, Brave Star

630
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: Ronald Kuna Junior. Here's the worst. Getting carted off the

631
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: field Saturday at the Marlins, tore his right acl trying

632
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: to catch a ball at the warning truck in the

633
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: fiftheting done for the year. Yeah that sad. See great

634
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: player McLevin. My Philadelphia Phillies back to five hundred after

635
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: beating the Red Sox despite losing a huge chuck of

636
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: their team for COVID rules, which is weird. They're getting

637
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: widely criticized. That's my worst two. My other worst is

638
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: what's up with England? I'm sorry I just have to

639
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: rub it in, like, what, why can't they get this right?

640
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: I was so into it because they were home in

641
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 1: the Eurofinal. To lose like that at home, it seemed

642
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: pretty tough. And Italy was favored, I think, a slight

643
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: favorite at Wembley. And you have to keep in mind

644
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: I'm the casual fans. I'm not like these guys at all.

645
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 1: I am too. I mean, I do enough research on it,

646
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: but you know, Italy was a better team. And I

647
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 1: have a question for the soccer guys who are pedal kicks.

648
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: They're not good. That's what I was reading on Twitter.

649
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 1: Like soccer enthusiasts do not like it. They say it's

650
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: sort of a bad way to end the game. Well,

651
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,280
Speaker 1: they did have the extra time, they had two fifteen

652
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: minute periods there, but it felt like they were very

653
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 1: very conservative both sides. Yeah. Point well, the sport where

654
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: you run that much, they can't have unlimited play where

655
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,399
Speaker 1: it just goes on for hours hours like the NBA.

656
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: You could substitute players more liberally. Hockey you could even

657
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 1: substitute players more liberally, but soccer there's there's very few substitutions.

658
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: You can't have a guy running to death. Well, how

659
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: many players do you have on the squad? You probably

660
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: have set helped me out, like eighteen players for eleven spots.

661
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: But there's three substitutions a game. Traditional you could expand

662
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: that for them, okay after yeah, since COVID they've up

663
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 1: that to five subs and then when you go to

664
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: extra time you can add a sixth. But other than that,

665
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,760
Speaker 1: that's all you could do, like strategically. But right England

666
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: is getting criticized because they had like way better player

667
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: well not better players, but just more experienced players, and

668
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: they were criticized a lot for playing two conservatively. Once

669
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 1: they scored that first goal two minutes in, they just

670
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: kind of sat back and we're like, all right, let's

671
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,919
Speaker 1: just defend and then you know, you just you can't

672
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: keep that up forever. Best and worst of the weekend, See,

673
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: my best is just the audacity of Connor McGregor to

674
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: still continue talking trash while laying on the canvas getting

675
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 1: his broken leg taking cabriage Like that's all you, I'm

676
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 1: coming for you. He's saying all this stuff. I'm like, dude,

677
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: they're like carting you off right now, and you're still

678
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: talking trash. It's just unreal. Yeah. Um, and we've hit

679
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: it a couple of times. But the pettiness of the

680
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: back and forth between the Yankees and the Astros, Aaron

681
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 1: Judge tugging on his jersey, did it just stop it already?

682
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 1: Both then I thought it was funny. And then and

683
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: then they rip off all two Bay's jersey. Just no

684
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: tattoo by the way, Yeah, where's his ugly tattoo? Tattooed

685
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 1: is afraid of Yeah? And the wire that he supposedly

686
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: had on PAULI a couple Best of the weekends, the

687
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: easiest headline of all time. Lightning strikes twice, Tampa Bay

688
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: repeats its Cup champion. Damn baby, Lightning look great. They

689
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: were just dominant the whole way. Uh and I would

690
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: see the other I guess it's best and worst. Marv

691
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 1: Albert retiring that that's a great broadcaster. He really made

692
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: the NBA better during his time. It feels like he

693
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: was the voice of the eighties, nineties and going forward,

694
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: a lot of big playoff games he handled. Yep. Yeah,

695
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 1: kind of took it for granted that Marv was always

696
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: to be there with the big game. Thanks for listening

Speaker 1: done it on a field or to track. So whether

708
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,560

713
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcast. There's

714
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: this huge shark there and they're filming this and these

715
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 1: two guys jumped then basically got close to jumping onto

716
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: the shark. Right. We cannot guarantee that this was not doctored,

717
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: but it looked like and I have heard that great

718
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: whites if they see you. They don't care. How's their eyesight? See,

719
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: that's what I would want to know, Like, if they

720
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: see you, then they won't eat you. But I don't know,

721
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: like are they like twenty four hundred eyesight or something

722
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, Paul. My ocean policy is if I

723
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: could see the bottom of the ocean, like if I'm

724
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: only in waist deep. Yeah, for some reason, I feel safer. Also,

725
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: if there's a bunch of big, bigger people a couple

726
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 1: of feet out in the ocean past me, I figure

727
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: that shark would have to go through them to get

728
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: to me. Yes. Done. I wish the shark would know

729
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: if the person falling by accident because they tripped or

730
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: they were daring the shark. If I'm the shark and

731
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: you're playing some kind of game with me, you're done. Yeah,

732
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: Like the sharks should have taken one of those guys

733
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: feed off, right, because he was jumping and he was

734
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: showing off. But if you accidentally fall, like you leave

735
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: the guy alone. Yea, he slipped. Reggie Miller, he lives

736
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: in the water in Malibu Hall of Famer. There have

737
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: you've seen sharks there? Do you? What's your water policy?

738
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:04,760
Speaker 1: Red until a shark actually walks on land and takes

739
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: a bite out of me. I'm not gonna go into

740
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: his territory. And I agree with Fritzie. I wonder if

741
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 1: the shark actually knows if it's an axcel ditto tip

742
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: over from the boat, or hey, let's get these cool

743
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: Instagram pictures with this great rye shark, because the shark

744
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: will be like, are you serious? You want Instagram pictures?

745
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: All right, come a little bit closer, Come here, come here. Wait,

746
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: but you live in Malibu, but you don't go in

747
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: the water. No Number one is too cold, and no,

748
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: I that's a whole another world. I don't now. A

749
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 1: lot of people have tried. Laird Hamilton took me paddleboarding once,

750
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 1: and I was I feared from my life. I feared

751
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: from my life because he's like the real life aquaman.

752
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 1: He can do, you know, he speaks to dolphins and

753
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 1: sharks and all that, and he's like, hey, how to

754
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: like this and just breathe and you feel with one

755
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: of the nature. And I'm like trying to hold on

756
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: for dear life, like the balance and all that, and

757
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: he's just like, oh this he's doing it with one

758
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: foot out. He's holding it the ore, like, dude, get

759
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: me back to land. But you're always on your mountain bike.

760
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: Have you ever encountered any animals other than rattlesnakes and

761
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: one mounta lyon? But I saw them not lying from

762
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: the distance and turned around quickly, very quickly. But you

763
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: always hop rattlesnakes all the time. You're always hopping rattlesnakes. Yeah,

764
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 1: but you don't look like a meal to a mountain lion, though, Redge.

765
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: You don't think I would? No, No, I don't think.

766
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 1: I don't think. I think I would be a delicious

767
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: six seven meal for a mountain lyon. If you're gonna ride,

768
00:40:54,680 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: i'd ride next to Oliver Miller. That's the Miller time. Yeah, yeah, Miller, Oliver,

769
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 1: Oliver Miller. Um and the USA lost to Nigeria in

770
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: a friendly basketball game. Is this a big deal, Redge?

771
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: For our Olympic team. I'm not ready to jump off

772
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: the cliff quite yet. It's only alarming because when the

773
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: team was assembled, I looked at the roster and the

774
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: first thing I said to myself that there's not a

775
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: lot of side Yeah. Yeah, and well, isn't Draymon a center? Him?

776
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 1: And Bam I guess are the centers on this team.

777
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: They have a lot of wing players, a lot of

778
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: guard play. Again, that's the way the game is trending towards.

779
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: But I look at I don't know what bigs we

780
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: really could have added for size. Most of the true

781
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 1: big men are international players. Joel embiid Yoki. Even DeAndre Ayton,

782
00:41:56,360 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: who's playing fantastic for Phoenix in this series is from

783
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: the Bahamas. So I don't know I who really had

784
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: a lot of size. I'm not battle marmd Nigeria. I mean, well,

785
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:13,839
Speaker 1: is when you play in France or Spain or Argentina,

786
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: teams that are well versed in international play. I've got

787
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: to see a little bit more. Even Australia. I know

788
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: they have an exhibition game with Australia coming up. Australia

789
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: has some NBA players and talent, so we'll just have

790
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: to wait and see. Well, we had Michael Wilbon on

791
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: in the first hour and he said the All Star

792
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 1: Game should be the US against the World, and there

793
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: would be true pride there certainly for the world to

794
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 1: try to beat the United States. You could build a

795
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: pretty you could have a pretty good roster of the

796
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 1: world versus the US. What do you think of that idea?

797
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 1: I love it and I think at some point I

798
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: think it's trending that way, and I think Adam Silvers

799
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: looked into that. Um I think it would be fantastic

800
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 1: and it's almost safe to say we may be the underdogs.

801
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: I'm not saying wouldn't win, but we very well could

802
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: be the underdogs if if that game was to shape

803
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: out with today's players, because they would certainly have the size.

804
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: I know we would have Lebron and Katie Hardened, Kyrie Steph.

805
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: I mean we would be loaded, but so would they.

806
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: They'd have some big men, that's for sure. You throw

807
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: in Luca in there as well, you got players from Canada.

808
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: I mean you could. You could build a pretty good roster.

809
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: But I'd love that it would mean something because I

810
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: think when we watch and it's you know, it's just

811
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: up and down, IT'SO an and one game where you're

812
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: just having fun and dunking, Which if that's what fans want,

813
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: then I'm fine with that. The fans should have it

814
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 1: just you know, be able to decide this what they

815
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: want to watch. But I think you could get that

816
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: US against them that pride a little bit, unless the

817
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: commissioner doesn't want it to be divisive where it feels

818
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 1: like we're pitting, you know, us against them and there

819
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: is some kind of separation. Why not bring out some juices? Though, Oh,

820
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: I know I don't bring out that competitive spirit. I'm

821
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: sure there's trash talking that goes on with guys. You know,

822
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 1: between Jamal Murray, who's Canadian, he would probably be on

823
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: that world team all with Ki. I mean, why not,

824
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 1: you know, have some competitive spirit going on. I think

825
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 1: it would be great. When the Suns went up two, Oh,

826
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: you thought they did what they had to do. They

827
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: held home court. Did you think it was over? No, okay,

828
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: because Milwaukee plays obviously very well at home. Two things though,

829
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 1: that have emerged to be very clear in this series.

830
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: Number one, they have zero answer or janis Anto Dakumpo,

831
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: whether it's DeAndre Ayton in his side trying to guard him,

832
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: they down great and and put Jay Crowder on him.

833
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: The Cale bridges, it doesn't matter his size, his offensive rebounding,

834
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: and now that he's starting to hit free throws last

835
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:15,479
Speaker 1: night was his best truck to the free throw line,

836
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 1: they have no answer for him. And Number two, when

837
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: Christophilton and Drew Holliday play reasonable there. This Milwaukee Bucks

838
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: team is very difficult to beat. But when Phoenix went

839
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: up to nothing, they did what they had to do.

840
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:35,720
Speaker 1: They held home court. Now Milwaukee is one game away

841
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 1: from doing the same thing at some point in time.

842
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: Milwaukee obviously has to win a road game to win

843
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 1: an NBA championship. I was more impressed that they put

844
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: something on the mind of Phoenix now because they blew

845
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: them out and it was I mean, they just ran

846
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 1: him out the gym, especially in that third quarter. So

847
00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: Game four, we'll see if Devin Booker's not going to

848
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: score ten points and shoot that terrible, so he'll have

849
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: a balanced by game. The Game four is everything that

850
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: will tell me everything about this series. I still watch

851
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: Jannas and I was talking to Wilbon about this, that

852
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 1: why can't I just have him do what he's great

853
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: at doing, not the other stuff where he's he's not

854
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: even good at taking three point shots. And I don't

855
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: want him dribble in the ball up the floor. If

856
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: he dribbles up the floor, I can build a wall

857
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: there if I put him down low. Now, you got

858
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: to decide you want to double him. And that's where

859
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: I got Lopez Holiday and Chris Middleton, and it's it's

860
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: incumbent upon them to hit those shots. But you can't

861
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: guard the Greek freak down low with one person, and

862
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: I can get you in foul trouble. He's going to

863
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 1: get to the hoop. That's that's what I want, you know, Shack.

864
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 1: I never said, boy, you've got to hit some jumpers

865
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: or you know, Kareem, you got to come out to

866
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 1: the free throw line, like I never said anything. I

867
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: just thought, man's they're unstoppable. That's what I want them

868
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: to continue to do. Why is it that Mike Budenholzer's

869
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: still hands the Greek freak out on the perimeter. Well,

870
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 1: I will say this, I wouldn't take away him not

871
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,359
Speaker 1: bringing the ball up because in the open court when

872
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: he gets ahead of steam, very difficult to stop, especially

873
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: with that yarro step. So you don't want to take

874
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: away that part of it. I'm okay. In transition, Redge okay, absolutely, okay.

875
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: I will say the thing about the three point of

876
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: shots and it kills me. You and I have talked

877
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: about this for the last two months during the playoffs.

878
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,439
Speaker 1: If he's gonna settle for threes. They're gonna lose. They're

879
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: gonna lose the NBA Championship. To me, they're dare shots

880
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 1: that teams give him make up the difference. I don't

881
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: care if they're giving the dare shots make up the difference.

882
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,479
Speaker 1: And then go into what you're alluding to. This spin

883
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 1: moved wonderable and you're at the room or you're finding

884
00:47:55,280 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 1: your shooters. And we saw that really in these three

885
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: games versus Phoenix. I think in game one he wasn't sure.

886
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: He was still worried about the hyper extension of the knee.

887
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:14,919
Speaker 1: He wasn't playing the game instinctual, which people are manufacturing

888
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: in what he's been able to do with an injury

889
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: that I had. Channing Fry told me, he said, I

890
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 1: had the same thing. I don't think he plays again.

891
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 1: I said, it took me six weeks to recover from

892
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 1: that Greek Creek. You know he he men's remarkable and

893
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: how he's finishing two because the moves are crisp, they're clean,

894
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: they're decisive, and you're right, Montie Williams is gonna have

895
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,760
Speaker 1: to make a decision of doubling. But when you double

896
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 1: coach Budenholzer loves. They love the three ball. They're the average.

897
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 1: Forty three is the game. They haven't shot him, great, yeah,

898
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: but they love shooting them and at some point in

899
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: time they're gonna start making them. Damn. And if you're Phoenix,

900
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: the problem is this series ends up to two game

901
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 1: five on the road. It's one of those games where

902
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: you think everything is going to start clicking for Milwaukee.

903
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 1: I still like Phoenix. I had Phoenix win in seven,

904
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,280
Speaker 1: but I think this is going to go the distance.

905
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 1: I think Milwaukee wins tomorrow and again all Phoenix has

906
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: to do is win home games and they win it all.

907
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,399
Speaker 1: You know, I think it's a seven game series. It's

908
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 1: going to go the distance. Both of these teams are

909
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: well matched, but zero answer for Yannis and Holiday, and

910
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: if Middleton contributes a little bit, then Milwaukee will win

911
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 1: a championship. I was talking to Wilbon about this as well,

912
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 1: that you know, we look at the Lakers and somehow

913
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: we want to always put the best player on the Lakers,

914
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 1: like Lebron's gonna get Damian Lillard and then I always say,

915
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 1: but who's Portland getting him return? And you know, Wilbon said,

916
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: you know you're right, But there's this. Would you trade

917
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis for Damian Lillard if you were the Waker? No? No,

918
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 1: absolutely not. As much as I love uh Damian Lillard,

919
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 1: Lillard has to have the ball in his hands to

920
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:15,359
Speaker 1: be successful. That's what's made him great, great isolation, one

921
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 1: on one, high pick and roll player for Lebron, what

922
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,799
Speaker 1: he's done throughout his career needs the ball to be successful.

923
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 1: I don't think they would play well off on one another.

924
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,959
Speaker 1: I just don't. And I think that's why Anthony Davis

925
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:33,240
Speaker 1: is a perfect compliment because stay healthy to Lebron Okay.

926
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 1: So then if you're the Laker, I will say this,

927
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: you know who would be better on that team. CJ

928
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 1: McCollum would be great on the Lakers with Lebron Okay,

929
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: So how do you get him? Do you do a

930
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: Shigning trade with Dennis Shrewder. Yes, I would get rid

931
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,880
Speaker 1: of Shrewder, and I would possibly think about getting rid

932
00:50:52,960 --> 00:51:01,320
Speaker 1: of Tucker I like, I like him. I would I

933
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 1: would rate Caruso out of jail in Texas and give

934
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:09,320
Speaker 1: him back. And yeah, I would get rid of Shruger

935
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 1: and Kuzma for CJ. McCollum. I would. I think he

936
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 1: would be perfect for the Lakers. I don't know if

937
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: Kuzma wants to be great, Like, you could get caught

938
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 1: up in the trappings of being in Hollywood. And we

939
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 1: talked about this with the younger guys when Lebron wanted

940
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 1: those guys out, Like you kind of get caught up

941
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: in I'm a Laker in the lifestyle and you know,

942
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 1: like angel I don't. I don't sense that from Caruso.

943
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, not Caruso Kuzma. Oh yeah, I think

944
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 1: he's caught up. You know, you got your hair blonde,

945
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 1: and you know you're dating a Kardashian or something. And

946
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,359
Speaker 1: I think he as much as I love I love

947
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:51,799
Speaker 1: Kyle his rookie year, I thought he played fantastic, yes

948
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 1: and got I think he got caught up. Yeah, he

949
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 1: got up in the lifestyle. Now he has a ring.

950
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 1: But it felt like Graham needed to get out because

951
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 1: of his personality and even you know, Lonzo Ball like

952
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: the personality. Sometimes you wonder like you got to be

953
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 1: ready for la and you know, and I wonder some

954
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 1: of these what you've seen, like could Tim Duncan other

955
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:18,919
Speaker 1: than san Antonio, Like it just felt like that's where

956
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:22,360
Speaker 1: Tim Duncan was supposed to be or David Robinton, Like

957
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 1: there's certain guys you just go their personality fits that

958
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:31,760
Speaker 1: city and vice versa. I agree, And look, Kyle Kuzma

959
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: is a great player. He thinks he could be a

960
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 1: double double type guy. I'm not saying he can't, but

961
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:43,839
Speaker 1: he had plenty of opportunity to be really at all

962
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: India type player when Lebron was gone for those thirty

963
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 1: something games as well as a d he had a chair. Yeah,

964
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 1: he really had an opportunity and he didn't deliver. I'm

965
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 1: not saying he can't, but you had an opportunity. But

966
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 1: Lebron can stunt your growth too, because you're not quite

967
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: sure what am I allowed to do. I mean, not

968
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 1: to the extent like with Michael Jordan, but you know

969
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: when when you're there with Lebron, it's it's like, how

970
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:16,400
Speaker 1: do I expectations? He can't raise his expectations playing with

971
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 1: a long a generational type player. No Lebron, Lebron elevates

972
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 1: got it. Think about some of the teams that Lebron

973
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:28,359
Speaker 1: took to the finals in Cleveland, like where are these

974
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:33,320
Speaker 1: guys now? So he's not stunting Kyle Kuzma. Booby Gibson

975
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:38,360
Speaker 1: was a starting point guard. Come on, man, Eric Snow,

976
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 1: come on man. No, uh, did you hear Jamal Mashburne's

977
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:48,880
Speaker 1: story about Larry Bird. No, he was. They were, Um,

978
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: this is when the college guys were playing against the

979
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 1: Dream Team. So it's Webber and Rodney Rogers and and

980
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 1: mash was telling the story that Rodney Rodgers has given

981
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 1: birth grief. You know that, you know, you haven't been

982
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: anything since nineteen eighty four. And this is after I

983
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 1: think they beat them in one of the scrimmages and

984
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 1: they were right, yeah, and and and so bur Burn

985
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:16,320
Speaker 1: checks into the game and the next one, and Mashburne

986
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 1: was telling the story that Rodney Rogers was gardening and

987
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 1: magic gave him the ball like eight times in a row,

988
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: and Larry is telling him where he's going to shoot,

989
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 1: and then I think he made the last one. He goes, yeah,

990
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:34,760
Speaker 1: just like nineteen eighty four. And whoever said Chris, whoever

991
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,400
Speaker 1: said it was an assassination of Rodney Rodgers. And you know,

992
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 1: Rodney loved to talk. But when hearing mashburn tell the story,

993
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:47,400
Speaker 1: it was really funny. You know, Hey, that's Larry Fins,

994
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 1: because not only was he doing that against you know Rogers,

995
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:53,840
Speaker 1: who at the time was a you know, a college player,

996
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:58,800
Speaker 1: he was doing thats a chuck person during a playoff game.

997
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 1: I'm the I want to go here this shot. I'm

998
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 1: fraight away. Maybe it with my left next time I

999
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 1: come down. I just watched my footwork up. Watch my

1000
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:16,359
Speaker 1: footwork now, okay. And then whoever said that bird would

1001
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 1: get mad whenever there was a white guy guard him, like,

1002
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:22,279
Speaker 1: he would get so mad that they're they're not a

1003
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: white guy on the planet and guard me. And he

1004
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:28,760
Speaker 1: would get so angry when somebody like Marley, when Dan Marley,

1005
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 1: I think he wouldn't he wouldn't talk to Dan Marley

1006
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,720
Speaker 1: because he was a rookie, refused to talk to Dan Marley.

1007
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 1: And he would talk to like Andrew Langer somebody and say,

1008
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 1: you would send the message to Dan Marley. He said

1009
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: that he wouldn't. He wouldn't, And Marley said he wouldn't

1010
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:48,879
Speaker 1: talk to me because I was a rookie. I love it. Yeah, um,

1011
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 1: let's see. So you got the sons in seven? Thank you? Okay,

1012
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 1: what do you think I think? Chris Paul Devin Booker

1013
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: other than last night because Chris Paul played pretty well

1014
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,799
Speaker 1: in the first half. I think the guard play has

1015
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 1: been fantastic for Phoenix, and Booker is not going to

1016
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,360
Speaker 1: shoot that bad score ten points. I think he'll have

1017
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 1: a bounce back game. But until they find an answer

1018
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 1: for that Greek free they won't have an answer for him.

1019
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 1: They don't. They have to have answers for Holiday and

1020
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 1: Middleton that those guys can't get off and if they do.

1021
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 1: With the Greek freak doing what he does, I mean

1022
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 1: he's these are oh, by the way, forty point ten

1023
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 1: rebound games and easy, too easy. I mean he's getting them.

1024
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 1: Everything is just about it in the paint. But you're right,

1025
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:44,919
Speaker 1: because of the inconsistency of middle Ten and Holiday, which

1026
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 1: we've seen, they can't be consistent. Phoenix is gonna win

1027
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 1: this series. If they're consistent, Milwaukee can come back and

1028
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: win this and winning one on the road. Thank you, Rag,

1029
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 1: great to talk to you. You know, I love you,

1030
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: love my dad and asked, hey, sorry, give well wishes

1031
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 1: to your brother. Man, I mean fly fishing. Who knew

1032
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 1: that was such a comeback sport? Man? Oh? No, I know, man,

1033
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 1: I know I put the fly in fly fishing. Okay,

1034
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 1: I mean next time, pat up helmet helmet. We were

1035
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,440
Speaker 1: gonna buy my brother a helmet that you give to

1036
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 1: a little kid when they're first learning to ride a bike,

1037
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 1: just so he'd go fly fishing. Case he flew out

1038
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 1: of the boat again. Thank you, Reg you're the best.

1039
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 1: Theodore all right,
