It took a few games, maybe 15 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: a few games longer than we thought, but Steph finally 16 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: broke the three point record last night, hitting five threes 17 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 1: in the win over the Knicks. He moves past the 18 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer Ray Allen's decade long record and he 19 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: made it on his second three. And he broke this 20 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: story at the Mecca Basketball Madison Square Garden. The garden 21 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: when you start to think about all the great memories, 22 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: Reggie Miller had eight points in nine seconds. Reggie on 23 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: the call last night with TNT, Kobe goes for sixty one. 24 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: That was back in two thousand and nine, Michael Jordan's 25 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: famous double nickel game, Willis Reid playing hurt against the 26 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: Lakers in the NBA Finals. The NBA grades have all 27 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: had moments at Madison Square Garden. You know, usually it's 28 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: the opposition having great moments at the garden. Last night's 29 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: performance gives Steph Curry two great moments there. I go 30 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 1: back to that twenty thirteen game and really it was 31 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: an NBA coming out party for him. He had fifty 32 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: four against the Knicks. Eight years later, that little kid 33 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: from Davidson was back, and this time it wasn't to 34 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: announce his arrival to the NBA. It was to cement 35 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: his status as the greatest shooter of all time. Here's 36 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: Steph Curry after the game. Thank everybody's talks about with 37 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: the greatest shooter ever and all that conversation, and my 38 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: respect for Reggie and Ray, guys who set the bar 39 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: for what it meant to be a sharp shooter to 40 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: have the longevity as well. For me, I've tried to 41 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 1: own that in my journey in terms of range, volume, efficiency, 42 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: all those things go into it. So I probably myself 43 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: on shooting a high percentage. I probably myself on allowing 44 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: that to help us win games. And now I can 45 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: probably myself on the longevity of getting to that number 46 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: that Ray set and hopefully pushing it to a number 47 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: that nobody can reach. We'll see what happens, but that's 48 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: something that the balance of volume and efficiency for me 49 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: is the standard that I want under set. I never 50 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: want to call myself the greatest shooter until I got 51 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: this record, So comfortable saying that now, and he can 52 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: say it, and there are very few who can argue. Now, 53 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna get people nitpick as you really hit a 54 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,679 Speaker 1: big shot in a big moment. All right, If that's 55 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: your argument, run with it. I don't know how far 56 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: are you gonna run with it, but go ahead, run 57 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: with it. When you talk about creativity, when you talk 58 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 1: about imagination, when you talk about an ability to extend 59 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: the game, change the game. He can go in, he 60 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: can go out, he can hit midrange, he can hit 61 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: deep threes, he can get to the hoop. These are 62 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 1: all the things. If you look at the draft profile 63 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: that people cautioned other NBA teams about if you're going 64 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 1: to draft Steph Curry and ain't not going to be 65 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: quick enough, defensive liability, probably going to be a role player, 66 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: you know, maybe a shooter like his current coach Steve Kerr. 67 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: But he made himself better. And I think that's the 68 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: message that should really be realized today is Steph had 69 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: ankle injury. You know, they weren't sure if he was 70 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: going to have an NBA career because of his ankle injury. 71 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: And if you think about it, how many great players 72 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame players didn't become an All Star until 73 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: their fifth season in the NBA. And I remember when 74 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: Steph was coming out and we had him on his 75 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: last two years at Davidson. We would have him on 76 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: a couple of times, is usually during the tournament because 77 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: that's when people would go, oh, that's right, that little 78 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: kid at Davidson, Man, he's fun. And it seemed like 79 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: it was a cute story. Steph was a cute story. 80 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: And then the Minnesota Timberwolves had two first round draft picks. Well, 81 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 1: of course they're gonna take Steph Curry, right, No, they're 82 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:26,679 Speaker 1: gonna take Johnny Flynn and Ricky Rubio and then Steph 83 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: Curry drops right into the lapse of the Golden State 84 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 1: Warriors right before the New York Knicks. Oh, so Steph 85 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: is approaching three thousand made threes and you start to 86 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: do the math here and you go, Okay, what's he 87 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: going to end up with and who can catch him? Well, 88 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: there's nobody in the NBA right now who's going to 89 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: catch him. Nobody's gonna catch him because he's gonna probably 90 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: put up between forty two hundred and forty five hundred 91 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: made threes when it's all said and done. Now he's 92 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: turning thirty four later this year. Let's say he makes 93 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: three hundred three hundred per season. Now average is around 94 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: three thirty. But he's not going to get that number. 95 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: But let's say three hundred. Let's just be generous, but 96 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,559 Speaker 1: not to the point of over generous. Three hundred made threes. 97 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: So I got him up to forty two maybe forty 98 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: five hundred made threes. Okay, James Harden's not going to 99 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: catch him. Now you can say, well, Trey Young, Well, 100 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: Trey Young doesn't put up the numbers, doesn't have the 101 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: made threes that Steph Curry does. Need a good shooter. 102 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: But I wonder if anybody's going to approach this. Whoever's 103 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: approaching this is probably in grade school right now, but 104 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: I don't know what the game will be in ten 105 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: to fifteen years. Are we going to have fifty three 106 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: point attempts per game? Because if you look at this 107 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: seismic shift of maybe you'd have three or four attempts 108 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: and then maybe you'd have five or six. And I'm 109 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: talking about teams, and now it's commonplace you put up thirty. 110 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: And I wonder if somebody's going to be able to 111 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: approach this record. Now? Do I think it's one of 112 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: those monumental records. I don't you know. I know Steph 113 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: was emotional about it. It was at the garden. Ray 114 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: Allen was there, Reggie Miller was there, his parents were there, 115 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: and you know, he probably got caught up in that 116 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: moment of you know, I've been thinking about this. I'm 117 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: reminded about this. I struggled against Philadelphia, I didn't do 118 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: it against Indiana. I'm gonna do it at the garden. 119 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: And then I think the emotion hit him. By the way, 120 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: the buzz in the garden quickly went down after that. 121 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: It's like, no, steph, you got to stretch this out. 122 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: He needed to make five threes. Then we would have 123 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: had some drama. By the way, the over under made 124 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: threes five and a half. He ended with five. Oh yes, 125 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: call that, thank you, Tom, well done. Very rare. Got 126 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: that right on the nose there that you tease me 127 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: about it. Of course you got to put it right 128 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: by the half fell good about that. Okay, okay, are 129 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: you gonna take a victory lap? I rarely get a 130 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: chest to toot the horn, so beep beep. I don't know. 131 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna actually run because you know then I'm 132 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: gonna get out of breath real fast and make those 133 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: weird wheezing noise I've been making on the air. All right, 134 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: best and worst of the weekend, Todd, start with you 135 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: best the way the brockway. I just want to bring 136 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: you back to Earth. You got for a physical tomorrow. 137 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: We'll see what it's all about. If you want to 138 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,239 Speaker 1: send me for tests. And you're known as the Big Gulp, 139 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: that's what that? Yeah? Very nice. Yeah, that's your new nickname, 140 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: the Big Gulp seven up sponsor seven to eleven. Yeah, 141 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: Mountain dew. Are you gonna lie to your doctor. I 142 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: will probably say if he goes like, how oft are 143 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: you working out or whatever? I no, no, no, no, 144 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: he know about my diet. He can. He can look 145 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: at you and know that you're not working out. I'd 146 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: say like three days a week. I said it one 147 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: day week. But as far as diet, it depends on 148 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: I'll let him lead me. I'm not I don't have 149 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: to give more information I need to. Why don't you 150 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: tell him about this one breath thing that you do, 151 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: just to make sure that there's nothing else as I 152 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: think I have like neuropathy at the bottom of my feet, 153 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: not that you asked. It's like I'm walking on sandleately. 154 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: I'm a little concerned about that, and I was googling 155 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: that late last night and it might be somebody called 156 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: hi neuropathy on my toes and the bottoms of my 157 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: feet feel tight. I don't know. Thank you, ton I 158 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: run alo the lab work and everything, so we'll talk 159 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: about it tomorrow. Thank you to thank you. Here is 160 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: the call last night on Steph Curry breaking the all 161 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: time record. Wiggins comes across working on for day up 162 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: top to Curry quick release and splash. There it is 163 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: the best shooter the game has ever seen has cemented 164 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: his legacy. No one has made more threes than Stephan Curry, 165 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: and when you consider he has many more years in 166 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: his career, he might be setting a record that may 167 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: never be broken. Yeah, let's say he plays at high 168 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: level for four more years. He's thirty eight, maybe thirty nine. 169 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: Now he could morph into sort of what Ray Allen became, 170 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: and that's just, you know, a specialized shooter. Because when 171 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: Ray first started out, when he was with Seattle and Milwaukee, 172 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: I mean, he was dunking on people. I mean, he 173 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: was really athletic, and then he just kind of became 174 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: the designated shooter. And maybe Steph does that, maybe does 175 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: that for another team later in his career. But you know, 176 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: I ruffled a few feathers I think when I said 177 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 1: I would look at Clay Thompson as a better shooter, 178 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: just stand and go around and shoot at different places. 179 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: But it's the creativity, the imagination of getting his shot 180 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: that makes Steph Curry to me, the greatest shooter of 181 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: all time. But if you said we're just going to 182 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: stand and shoot, Klay Thompson to me would go toe 183 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: to toe with Steph Curry. There's a lot of guys 184 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: that would go toe to toe with Steph. There's been 185 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: a lot of great shooters, and Steph is wonderful, but 186 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: it's his imagination that makes him so much better than 187 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: everybody else. You have to find these spots, these nooks, 188 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: these crannies, off balance. He practices the shots he takes 189 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: in the game. And that's another message that should be 190 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 1: sent or at least heard. Don't just stand there and 191 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: shoot shots. Steph Curry knows he's going to be off balance, 192 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: going left, off balance, going right, a runner here, left 193 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: handed here. He practices those shots. So it's not like 194 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: you go, oh wow, man, that that situation came up 195 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: and he wasn't ready for it. It feels like he 196 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: is ready for those moments. But this ability to get 197 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 1: his shot off and being six two sixty three at 198 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: the most. And you know, when he came out of Davidson, 199 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: he was labeled as not having a good first step, 200 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: they questioned his handle. He was a shooter and then 201 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: stayed one more year at Davidson to become a point guard. 202 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: But if you look at him, it looks like, you know, 203 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: bring your son to a school day every time you 204 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: saw Steph play at Davidson. You know that the jersey 205 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: was kind of hanging off of him. I don't know 206 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 1: if he has shaved yet, but he had that ability 207 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: to be able to see something. And I think it's 208 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: lost on people that you know, they're just certain brilliant 209 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: basketball minds, and Steph was labeled somebody who had a 210 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: really high IQ basketball IQ, that ability to see something. 211 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: You know, Gretzky had it, in hockey, Magic had it. 212 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: It's I see something before you see it. And that's 213 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: the genius behind all of that. You know, Tiger would 214 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 1: take shots and you go, what. I remember Pete Sampras 215 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: telling me that Roger Federer was attempting shots that Pete 216 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: didn't even think of taking. So it's that creativity, that 217 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: gene that you have. And that's what I always marvel 218 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 1: with Steph is when you watch him play that there 219 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: is this innatability that he just sees something before it happens, 220 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: and very few are able to do something like that. 221 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: All right, what's the poll question? You know I did 222 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: think this last night. Has Steph Curry been good for 223 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: the game of basketball? That's that's double deep level? How 224 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: about that? Oh yeah, I did think that, and I 225 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: don't think he has been what I think he has been. 226 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 1: For him. This singular aspect of what Steph does has 227 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: been spectacular, but not everybody does what Steph Curry does. 228 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: There are a lot of people shooting threes who have 229 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: no business shooting threes, and you know what, you're the 230 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: last one to know you shouldn't be shooting threes. Everybody's like, ah, 231 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: you know, I can get hot, I can get on 232 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: a roll here. And then if you watch grade school, 233 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: now junior high, high school. Has Steph been good for 234 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: the game of basketball? I think there's probably an an 235 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: over influence by Steph Curry because everybody thinks they can shoot, 236 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: and you don't have to be six five, you don't 237 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: have to be able to dunk from the foul on. 238 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: All you gotta do is you gotta handle. Can you 239 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: get the ball up in time quick enough? Go ahead, 240 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: take some threes? Yeah, Paul, Steph Curry should tape a PSA. Hi, 241 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: I'm Steph Curry, and you shouldn't be shooting like me, 242 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: like you send it to kids or not that great. 243 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: This program brought to you by Impeller Empower your investment 244 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 1: portfolio with opportunities in Puerto Rico.

Dan Patrick says 249 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: Steph Curry bad for basketball. Dan Patrick says Clay Thompson 250 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:13,079 Speaker 1: better shooter than Steph Curry. We know what I just said, 251 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: and if you put it in context, I think Klay 252 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: Thompson is one of the great you know, one of 253 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: those you know, no dribble, just stand shoot that I've 254 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: ever seen. But he doesn't have the creativity to be 255 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: able to get those shots off. He needs help, and 256 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: that's what makes Steph to me, the greatest shooter of 257 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: all time. Yes, I'm pretty sure he just said Steph 258 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: is destroying the game. It's a hot take for today. Yeah, today, 259 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: it's a bold take. But that's kind of what I 260 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: how I interpreted. Well, then that's what I says. Steph 261 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: Curry's ruining basketball. There are times when I watch games 262 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: and I go, damn you, Steph Curry. It's not his fault. 263 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: It's everybody who thinks they're Steph Curry. Yes, time both 264 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: beat true. He's the greatest root of all time and 265 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: he's destroying it is. By the way, if you look 266 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: at the first three NBA seasons, Steph Curry made three 267 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy two three pointers. Trey Young made four 268 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: ninety seven. Now it should be factored in that. I 269 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: think one season Steph played less than ten games. You know, 270 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: he had the ankle injury, and they thought that this 271 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: was going to be something that was going to cut 272 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: into his longevity or that that chance. So his third 273 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: season there was real doubt. Are you going to extend him? 274 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: And he started like twenty three games, there was a 275 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: real concern. Yeah, I'm a club. I'm looking at the 276 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: most three he's made in a single season. Yeah, he's 277 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: got four hundred. He did it once, four to two. Right, 278 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: there's only one young player's in the top ten and 279 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: he's in it twice and young under thirty. Can you 280 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: guess which player that is the most threason let me 281 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: let me take a break, and I gotta tell you 282 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: you love him, That's why I'm bringing it up.

Okay, so this one young player 307 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: under thirty has been has three of the most prolific 308 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: three pointers made seasons of all time. He's in the 309 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: top twelve of all these. He's a young player that 310 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: you love and a team that only you watch. Right, Well, 311 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: there's a lot of bad teams that I watch, um 312 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 1: Trey Young No, even worse TeamWorks far worse team. Yeah, 313 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: point based off the hint of team nobody watches. But 314 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: Dan does Bradley Beal? No? No, Buddy, Buddy Healed, Buddy Healed? 315 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 1: Oh mighty, Sacramento King. You look at the all time list. 316 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: He's actually higher up than you'd think already. But he's 317 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: twenty eight. I thought he was a little younger than that. Hmm. Yeah, 318 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 1: he let me down in the NCAA tournament. Oh okay, 319 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: it's Villanova. He got blowed out. I picked Oklahoma to 320 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: win it all that year. And Buddy Healed is on 321 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: the trading block there in sacrament It really has great numbers. 322 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: I feel like, should should the Sixers or Lakers want 323 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: that guy? Oh? I'm sure that somebody does. But he's 324 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: going to cost you. You got out to pay him, 325 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 1: and what do you give up to get buddy healed? 326 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: All right? Um, you guys are having a discussion when 327 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: I walked out during the commercial break, mclovin and Paulie. 328 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,479 Speaker 1: So what's the discussion. I sent a poll question ID 329 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: to mclovin, Can you need one three to win games 330 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: seven of the NBA Finals? So it's not just odd 331 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 1: game one three to games of the Navent Finals. I 332 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: think I put Ray Allen, Steph Curry, Larry Bird, and 333 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: Reggie Miller on there. Those are my four top all 334 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: time a three twin NBA title and mcloven goes, well 335 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan, and I said no, not on the three points? 336 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 1: So is it one shot or one three? Mine was three? Okay? 337 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: And mclovin's justin Michael Jordan, even though he wasn't a 338 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: prolific three point shooter. Would you say his clutchess. Yeah, 339 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: he's got that clutches I got admit, I was thinking 340 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: one shot and one three. You're right it probably wouldn't 341 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: be Jordan, but you've said that Jordan would have changed 342 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 1: his game a little bit and moved it outside. Yeah, 343 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: he had good form, and that is if he felt 344 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: like he needed that. I mean, if you had him 345 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: shoot threes and he had to respect the three, oh 346 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: my god, because then you got to be up on 347 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: him and then you're gonna try to take away the 348 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: three and then he's gonna blow by you. I wouldn't 349 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: put him on the list because he just didn't take 350 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: enough of them. He had. He had the great moment 351 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: against Portland where he was making everything. But I know 352 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: that these other players do it and did it with 353 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: you more frequency. I didn't think Mike was a deep shooter, 354 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: but he didn't have to. Yeah, McClellan, how about Robert 355 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: or Yeah, he's done it absolutely. Now you you got 356 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 1: to create your shot too. If you're thinking about that, 357 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: If you say stand alone, then ri Rio absolutely. But 358 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 1: I would put Kyrie Irving on here because Kyrie did 359 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: it against Golden State, against Steph Curry. I mean, Kyrie 360 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 1: won the championship with the three. It's about creating your 361 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: shot because there are a lot of guys that you 362 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: can be a standalone and shoot, and that's the difference. 363 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: You know, Reggie was always running, always running, and he 364 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: created his shot by running and then getting that open, 365 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: you know, or create an opening and then make the shot. 366 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: You know, Steph could beat you, Jordan could beat you 367 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: off the dribble. Ray earlier in his career was beating 368 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:57,439 Speaker 1: you off the dribble. Dame Lillard beating you off the dribble. 369 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the hard part is getting the separation 370 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 1: creating the shot, because the guy who stands needs somebody 371 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: to create so you are alone that Robert Ory was 372 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: alone to hit those shots, or Clay Thompson's alone to 373 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: hit those shots. Yeah, club, I keep saying Ray Allen's 374 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: three when he was with the Heat and the Spurs, 375 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: there is no more clutch. That was huge, huge, Yeah, 376 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: something I've been thinking about it. And then you're the 377 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: person to ask. Pete Marivitch played from nineteen seventy to 378 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty and he was a very good player. His 379 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: numbers are very good, not his college not like his 380 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: college numbers. The three point line didn't come in until 381 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 1: the seventy nine eighty season. That's when Pete was on 382 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: I guess you'd say his last legs. He was not 383 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 1: a good player. He in the first season the three 384 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: point line was available. He shot sixty six percent from three. 385 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: Not volume, but he was that good. If the three 386 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: point line were there for Pete Merrivitch's entire career, would 387 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: he be Steph Curry. I don't know if he'd be Steph. 388 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: Would he have been dramatically better than the other deep shooters. Well, 389 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: Pete was a scorer, you know, it was about volume 390 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: with him. And if you go back to he averaged 391 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 1: forty five a game in college with no three point shot. 392 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: And I remember asking Dale Brown, the former LSU head coach, 393 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: he went back and found the shooting charts of Pete 394 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: Maravich when he was at LSU. Now keep in mind, 395 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: he's taking shots that if he takes a seventeen footer 396 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: or a nineteen footer, it didn't make, It didn't matter. 397 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: They only counted two. So Pete would have used the 398 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: three point line. In college, Pete would have averaged probably 399 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: fifty fifty four points a game, according to Dale Brown. 400 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: When Dale sent me the shooting charts, and he said 401 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: he went back and he was looking at where Pete 402 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 1: was shooting from in college, he would have probably averaged 403 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: over fifty points per game. Now his dad was coach. 404 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: He was able to shoot, and he did freely. Teams 405 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: knew Pete was going to get forty five. They just 406 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: tried to shut down everybody else. But he's as good 407 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 1: as scorer as I've ever seen, and able to do 408 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: it in a variety of ways. When you look back 409 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: on him against the Knicks, when Pete put up sixty 410 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: eight on the Knicks, and the Knicks were a good 411 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,679 Speaker 1: defensive team at the time, and they had three different 412 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: guys rotating on Merivich, Dean Memenger, I think Walt Frazier 413 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: was on him, and he had sixty eight and could 414 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: have had eighty in that game. He had that ability. 415 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,919 Speaker 1: Imagine you score so many points that you get bored 416 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 1: with scoring, and it felt like Pete got bored with 417 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: scoring like he wanted degree of difficulty. He loved fancy passing. 418 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 1: You know, he was a showman out there, and so 419 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: was Steph. I mean, there's there's the entertainer in you 420 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: that comes out like he wants to entertain. You know, 421 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: there's certain guys who played and like Kareem wasn't an entertainer. 422 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 1: Kareem was just great. Charles Barkley was an entertainer. Kobe 423 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: An entertainer like they wanted that there. It's like a 424 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: lead singer in a band or not even having a band. 425 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: You were just you a standalone solo artist, and you 426 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: had that ability to go out there in the biggest 427 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: moments and embrace those. And Marivitch was like that in 428 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 1: college into a certain degree in the pros when he 429 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 1: was with New Orleans and Atlanta later in his career 430 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 1: with the Boston Celtics. Bird I always thought was an entertainer, 431 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: even though you would never you would never get that 432 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: from him. But I think there was the I can 433 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: make a pass, I can shoot this left handed he had. 434 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: He had some panash to his game that you normally 435 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 1: don't think he does. But I thought he was an 436 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: entertainer magic obviously he was an entertainer. Like they loved 437 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: the moment, They loved this spotlight. They ate it up. 438 00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: Certain players were just methodical. You know, they're just great players, 439 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 1: but they don't They didn't do it with a oh, 440 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 1: I gotta make this entertaining or more flair involved in this. Yeah, 441 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,640 Speaker 1: I'm c Can I present a buzzkill system argument? For sure? 442 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: Is it? What if Mark Jackson had stayed at Golden 443 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 1: State and he wouldn't let Steph shoot all those shots. 444 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe it could have gone differently, you know it 445 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: kind of there was some they did they invent the 446 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: system for Steph? Or did Steph was he so good 447 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 1: that they invented the system, or was a combination of both. 448 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: They started opening up their offense and flying around. But 449 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 1: Mark Jackson he never had those big numbers. Well, Mark 450 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: was more of a defensive minded guy. And I think 451 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: Steve Kerr, even though Steve's one of the great shooters 452 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: of all time, Steve had to be convinced that Steph 453 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 1: could do this on a consistent basis, because I think 454 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: when we first started talking to Steve about Steph, he 455 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: said that he was taking shots that he didn't like. 456 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: He didn't like that he was taking these shots, but 457 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: he said, he's making these shots. And I think then 458 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: you had Clay, so he realized what he had. So 459 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: instead of saying, hey, I want you to play to 460 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,239 Speaker 1: my system, he created a system for them. And I 461 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 1: think that's really part of the genius here. But Mark 462 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: Jackson deserves a victory Lap two because he saw greatness 463 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 1: in Steff. He certainly saw it in Clay Thompson because 464 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: I remember talking to Mark Jackson and I said, why 465 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: don't you trade Clay for Kevin Love? That was a 466 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: big topic at the time. And he goes, Clay is 467 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: he might be the best to guard. He goes, he's 468 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,239 Speaker 1: a great defender, he's a great shooter. Now you're not 469 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: thinking that because here's Kevin Love who's putting up thirty 470 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: points in thirty rebounds in a game. One night, he 471 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: was averaging twenty five and thirteen, and I'm thinking, God, 472 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 1: could you imagine him with Golden State it was Clay 473 00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 1: was averaging eighteen. But then you started to realize that 474 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 1: Clay was, you know, just getting his confidence and he 475 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: was not. He didn't didn't shy away from the moment. 476 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: But Mark Jackson knew and I remember him telling me, 477 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: and he would remind me Clay thom He would just say, 478 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,919 Speaker 1: Clay Thompson, g Yeah, you're right. So Mark deserves a 479 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: lot of credit too for that system that they have there. 480 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: I still go back to loyal La Merry Mountain, you know, 481 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: with what what what was created by Paul Weston and 482 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: that ability to we're gonna we're gonna give you two, 483 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: We're taken three, and we want to run. I mean 484 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 1: that that's a unique system and a lot of teams 485 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,439 Speaker 1: are doing that now. And you know, you did have 486 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: Hank Gathers in Bo kimball and they weren't three point shooters, 487 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: but he created this system that was weren't taken a three, 488 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: We're giving you a two. Because back then people, you know, 489 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: you weren't buying into we're gonna take threes. And the 490 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 1: people started to look at what they were doing and 491 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 1: how dangerous they were, and then they started implementing that 492 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 1: system slowly. Remember when Bob Knight in Indiana beat UNLV 493 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 1: for the national title was Steve Alford. We thought, oh 494 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 1: my god, Indiana can't score enough points and you know 495 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: they're they're not going to be shooting three. Well, that's 496 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 1: that's when the three pointer came to light in college 497 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 1: basketball because Indiana beat UNLV at its own game by shooting. 498 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: I mean, Alford was great shooting threes. Back then, you 499 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: still weren't shooting that many. It wasn't volume, but you 500 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: did start to see it become more of a weapon. Yeah, 501 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: I mclubbing, No. I always find fascinating. System wise. Pat 502 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: Riley had the Showtime Lakers and then he turned it 503 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: into pro wrestling in the nineties. Yes, his ability to 504 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: win with magic, and then he could make it Greco 505 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: Roman wrestling and it was let's score one, thirty two, 506 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: let's score eighty eight, and you know he was successful. 507 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: And then with the Miami Heat, building the Miami Heat. 508 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: You know, so he built winners at three different stops 509 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: there with three different kind of systems that he had. 510 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: All right, so what's the poll question we're gonna go with. Okay, 511 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: we actually have up on the site his Steph Curry 512 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: ruining basketball? I'm sorry, is that too strong a word? 513 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: You said? Is he good for the game? Oh? No, no, 514 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: because people aren't going to understand that. She's like, you 515 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: gotta you gotta say it, but you have to say, 516 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: as you said earlier, not is he ruining the game 517 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: or bad for basketball? I wondered if in the moment 518 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: last night, as he's being celebrated, has he been good 519 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: for the game From the standpoint of everybody seeing Steph 520 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 1: Currying want of being like want to be like Steph Curry. 521 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: It'd be like if I picked up the guitar and 522 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: wanted to be Jimmy Hendricks. Well Hendricks I mean, look 523 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: at that. Anybody can do that. I mean, the only 524 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: thing I could do that Hendricks did is I could 525 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: light it on fire and that'd be it. Yeah, You're 526 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: you're phrasing is so interesting because when you when you 527 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: hear has he been good for the game, I'm not 528 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: sure he has it is it's the other way of 529 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: saying that is, has he been bad for the game. Yes, 530 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: it's not his fault. No, it's the imitators that That's 531 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: what I'm trying to say. But I'm gonna I'm gonna 532 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: be criticized here. Oh mister, I don't do hot tags. 533 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: Has gotta take. Yes, Mahome's bad for the leaving question mark. 534 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: That's next bad for quarterbacking. It'd be like if you said, 535 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: try to emulate Mahomes or Aaron Rodgers. Carson Palmer, who 536 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: played the game, said, we tell our young quarterbacks, whatever 537 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: you do, don't try to emulate Aaron Rodgers because Rogers 538 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: rod does it in a way that you go, huh. 539 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: Or Patrick Mahomes. There's certain guys where you go, I 540 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: don't know how they do it, but I want to 541 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, McLevin, I think it's the same exact 542 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: argument I've seen young quarterbacks try no looks and throw 543 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: right into the linebacker's head. Yeah, I think it's very similar. 544 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: I think you're right. Yeah, I mean I don't agree 545 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 1: that Steph Curry's overrated, like you said earlier. I know 546 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: I don't. You've said he's underrated many times. Actually, yes, 547 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: Like you know, I picked him to the MVP last year, 548 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: I picked Golden State to win the West this year, 549 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: You've been very consisent. I love I love Golden State. 550 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: You know, they play defense, they they're they're a formidable team, 551 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: and Clay's coming back. But it's just everybody wants to 552 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 1: be like Steph Curry and because of his brilliance that 553 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: everybody thinks they can do that, and the fact that 554 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: he's you know, if he was Luca, like Luca's different. 555 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 1: You know, Luca's six seven, six eight, you know two sixty. 556 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 1: Steph could walk in and you go, that's Steph Curry. 557 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: He mean, he would look like a normal person coming 558 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: in if he walked onto the playground and you didn't 559 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 1: know who he was. He's gonna wait a little while 560 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: before he gets picked. Probably, Yeah, I'm clemming. You have 561 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: the ultimate walk off on Steph Curry. You actually told 562 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Timber was GM on air, you should draft 563 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 1: this guy. David Conn before the draft, I said to 564 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: David Kahn, you should draft Steph Curry. That's your lollipop too. 565 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: I know that you love I mean, it's like your 566 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: all day suckers, Steph Curry, love it. He's probably in 567 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: your basement right now playing video games with your kid. 568 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 1: I tried to tell David Conn. I tried to tell 569 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 1: him to Steph. I know every time I'd have him 570 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: on and then I would remind him that he should 571 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: have taken Steph Curry. Yeah, Paul, David Khan was there 572 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: at Madison Square Garden the last night, work in the 573 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: concession standing. That's that's not He's probably doing very well. Yeah, 574 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: I'm sure he is not true spirited Paul tactical. I 575 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: don't actually don't know if he was working there. Now. 576 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: David KHN showed Spike Lee to his seat, he showed 577 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 1: Del Curry to his seat. Not nice, not nice at all. Yeah, 578 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: he accused you of having Steph Curry playing video gapes 579 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 1: in your basement. Yeah, I know that's that. It's not 580 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 1: true that he wasn't playing video games in my basement. 581 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 1: He was not, all right, we'll take a break. We'll 582 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: settle on a poll question. Play of the day is 583 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 1: coming up next.

I think it was Tracy Stallard, 660 00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,919 Speaker 1: But like it's so you don't remember that, ye see. 661 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 1: But guys in that position love to talk about it right, like, 662 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,319 Speaker 1: how many people have we had on and been like, oh, 663 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,719 Speaker 1: you played in Kobe's eighty one when he scored eighty one. 664 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: You were in that game.

I wouldn't mind being that guy. I 667 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 1: remember saying something to Jack Billingham. He was a pitcher 668 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,799 Speaker 1: for the Cincinnati Reds and he gave up Hank Aaron's 669 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,760 Speaker 1: seven hundred and fourteenth home run, and I remember joking 670 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,799 Speaker 1: with him about it, and I said, yeah, you know 671 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 1: something about, hey, you gave up number seven fourteen to Hank. 672 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 1: Like we were sitting around with a bunch of former 673 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Reds players and I remember getting a little bit grief. 674 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 1: And he goes, how many bleeping home runs did you 675 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 1: give up in the show?

Man. I mean 691 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:46,759 Speaker 1: Brian Russell got pushed by Jordan craig Elo. He just 692 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 1: kept going up and then he started to come back down, 693 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 1: and Michael kept going up and then hit the shot 694 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:59,720 Speaker 1: Ty Lou with Alan Iverson. That was mean. Michael Cooper. 695 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 1: You could see Michael Cooper when Doc is you know, 696 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,359 Speaker 1: I'm gonna cradle it, and then Mike goes up and 697 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 1: then he goes Nope, I'm ducking. I'm ducking for cover there. 698 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:13,799 Speaker 1: I'd probably want to be Michael Cooper just because I'm like, man, 699 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 1: I wasn't afraid of Doc. I was up there. It 700 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 1: just he kept going up. Yeah. See, speaking of it 701 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:27,200 Speaker 1: just keeps going up. Vince Carter over Frederick Diamond's bad 702 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,319 Speaker 1: Fredo has no second act like Craig Elo and Buyer 703 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:35,879 Speaker 1: Russell were good NBA players, Okay, Frederick Ryce nothing else? Yeah, yeah, tid, 704 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,439 Speaker 1: But doesn't the significance of the shot to a certain 705 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 1: extent dictates what we think about that. Also when you 706 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,759 Speaker 1: see Michael Jordan's reaction over Elo when there's something more 707 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 1: on the line. Okay, who was guarding Ray Allen when 708 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,240 Speaker 1: he hit the shot to beat the San Antonio Spurs? 709 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 1: Who was guarding Ray or Robert Orry when he hit 710 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:56,400 Speaker 1: big shots? Nobody knows, nobody remember, But how much is 711 00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,359 Speaker 1: it the name? Remembering the name versus every time if 712 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 1: you see a phone or a video of that, then 713 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 1: that's you know, for that person we were talking about. 714 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,440 Speaker 1: You don't want to be the nick but you want 715 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 1: you want to be able to say, look, I did that, 716 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,359 Speaker 1: and anytime anyone sees a picture of that or an 717 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,160 Speaker 1: LFT or video or that, that's you, that's you in 718 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 1: that shot. So like, I don't, I don't know if 719 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,440 Speaker 1: they care about like that. Their name is remembered, but 720 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 1: there what would you say, LFT? What is it the 721 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:24,200 Speaker 1: the little n n f T, whatever it is, I 722 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,360 Speaker 1: have no idea. I think you just invented it. BLT 723 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:31,680 Speaker 1: you're thinking of. Yeah, I don't know what you're talking. 724 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:33,880 Speaker 1: I think LFT has to do with blood work. I 725 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,880 Speaker 1: think i'd meant to say n f T thank you. 726 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,359 Speaker 1: But I don't think these guys care like their name 727 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,959 Speaker 1: is remembered as much as do you do? You want 728 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,799 Speaker 1: to be okay, all right, that's it could be cool 729 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,360 Speaker 1: to be a bird. No one's gonna remember, nobody cares. 730 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 1: But I think it's special for him because he's not 731 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,719 Speaker 1: gonna have some Hall of Fame career or anything like that. 732 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 1: That may be the only thing that he's got to 733 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,200 Speaker 1: be able to point to when they have a picture 734 00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 1: or a video of that, that was me in that moment. Okay, 735 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,600 Speaker 1: if that's all you have to show for your career, 736 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,360 Speaker 1: you didn't have a career. Yeah, I think the toughest 737 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,960 Speaker 1: part speaking for all of us who can't jump. Craig 738 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,319 Speaker 1: Ilo embodied the white guy can't jump thing. His arm 739 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,359 Speaker 1: is flailing back at Jordan. Jordan is just sitting there 740 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,759 Speaker 1: in the air for a little bit, and ELO's little 741 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,000 Speaker 1: arm is going backwards. He's it was a very good player, 742 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,719 Speaker 1: but the visual that we know we can't jump. You 743 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:27,839 Speaker 1: don't have to personify. Yeah, craig Elo. I go back 744 00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,319 Speaker 1: to this is probably in nineteen eighty four and it's 745 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:36,440 Speaker 1: the Celtics and the Rockets, and I remember prior to 746 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 1: NBA Finals games, craig Elo worked out as if he 747 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,319 Speaker 1: was practicing. This is prior to the game. He didn't 748 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,239 Speaker 1: play in the game, and I kept thinking, man, this 749 00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 1: guy really works out hard. And then he eventually went 750 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,680 Speaker 1: to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and then he was a good 751 00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 1: player for the Cavs. And then that moment where the 752 00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,719 Speaker 1: defense broke down or Mike broke down the defense and 753 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,239 Speaker 1: Jordan hit that shot put his team into the playoffs. 754 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 1: And then the other moment that craig Elo had was 755 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:08,360 Speaker 1: Larry Bird once said to him on the floor. I 756 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 1: think it was where's your mom? Like he was saying, 757 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: did your mom drop you off at the game? He 758 00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,560 Speaker 1: looked like he was a little kid, and Birds like, uh, 759 00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 1: your mom drop you off? Here? LFT is is that 760 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,919 Speaker 1: liver function test on an LFT would be a liver 761 00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,000 Speaker 1: function test, a blood test that can provide information about 762 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,760 Speaker 1: how well your liver is working or if it's under stress. 763 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 1: Not an NF not a non fungible fungible little token. 764 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,080 Speaker 1: The LFT measured the levels of a number of proteins 765 00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 1: and enzymes produced by your liver cell. So hopefully that 766 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:47,320 Speaker 1: clarify that. All right, So we're gonna stay with that 767 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:51,360 Speaker 1: pole question to put up. You get one three point shot. 768 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:55,120 Speaker 1: I'm curious, all right, all right?
