This is the best of Stu Gotson Company Live on
Fox Sports.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Radio Fun Show.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Today, Taylor Twelman going to join us, ice Cube get
to join Us, and coming up at about fifteen minutes
live from Wimbledon. It's gonna be Patrick McEnroe.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Don't be angry just because you're saying it right.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I did a hissed at you right there, Izzy. I
am so confused. The United States appears to finally be
good at soccer, and I have no idea what the
Celtics were thinking by trading Jalen Brown to a team
they just lost to in the Eastern Conference semi finals
in the Philadelphia seventy six Ers.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
I'm sorry in the first round.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Right yep, trading them inside that division, inside that conference
and making the Sixers a better team than the Boston Celtics.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
So confused.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
It feels like they were just trying to get the
deal done before the USA Soccer match started, because it
felt like they were on some sort of pressured deadline
that they weren't on right, Like, yes, you probably ruined
some relationships or the relationships some by offering him from Milwaukee,
you know, so publicly, and even that you could say,
(01:31):
you could talk yourself off of being insulting because it's
Yanni Santeto Kumpa.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Well, that's what I was gonna say.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Is it really that insulting if you're Jalen Brown and
publicly they dangled you out there for Giannis, one of
the best players in NBA history.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
No, because if you just want to go one for one, yes,
you've won a championship, Yes, you've won a finals MVP.
He's done that too, and he's got a couple of MVPs,
and he's got a deepoy and he's still thirty one
years old, So it shouldn't be insulting for him to
be dangled in that trade. But for whatever reason, it
felt like they were under immense pressure to get something
done immediately, very soon after the honest deal happened to Miami.
(02:07):
And you know, the new year starts, a new league
year starts, and to me, stude, that just sounds like
an ownership edict. You know, they changed ownership, and they're
probably looking at Jalen Brown's contract and when they have
to extend him and saying, wait a second, what's this
going to cost us? Like seventy million dollars annually for
a player that we're still not even that sure is
(02:28):
you know, belongs you know, top of the league, all NBA,
all second team MBA. So yeah, it just felt like
pressure from up top to get something done. And they
convinced themselves on Paul George. Maybe because Paul had a
decent series against them, Maybe because Paul they know they
can move on from him without any you know, hesitation,
without any real fear of ruining anything that they've built
(02:48):
so far. So I think the most embarrassing part for
them is, like you mentioned going to Philly, right, the
team in your division, Yes, the team that just came
back and beat you in the first.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Because I think Celtic fans would say, hey, if you
feel the need to trade them, if it's economics, if
it's you just want to get rid of the guy.
He's not good in your locker room, do you have
to trade him to someone? We have to face, you know,
fifteen times a year and potentially in the playoffs, right.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
And the other thing is is like I look back
at this and think, you know, they for years people
in the media were just like, I think it's time
to break up Brown and Tatum. I don't think they
can win a championship together. And it's almost like they
got stubborn in the front office and said, no, I
don't care what you think, We're going to win a
championship with these guys. Absolutely loaded up the roster and
(03:36):
they finally accomplished it.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
They did it.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
And so when you come off of a year where
you didn't have the same type of talent, not only
was Jason Tatum out for most of the year, but
your supporting cast was not what it was before, you're
going to make a judgment on the one player who
was basically carrying you throughout. That tells me it's not
about basketball. It tells me it's about finances and it's
some sort of personality. Because you could also argue, hey,
(04:02):
if it's about finances, move on from Jason Tatum. If
Jalen Brown is your Finals MVP is your main piece,
they obviously think of Tatum higher than that. So they
went with Brown. And it's an issue where you could
also argue maybe they've ruined the seventy six ers organization
right now because look at their plan. Their plan was Tyres,
Maxi and VJ Edgecomb. Sure the plan was built around
(04:23):
those guys. Obviously try to share the timeline with Embiid
as much as possible. But now you get Jalen Brown
in their Taylor. Do you think Jalen Brown goes in
there and says, fine, I'll be the third or fourth
option behind Maxi and Embiid, Or does Jalen Brown go
in there saying I have to have a monster season,
be a number one option and back up everything that
I've done in Boston.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
I think that's more likely. He goes in thinking that
it's going to try to be his team, But that's
a lot of personalities that you have to kind of
manage there. The counter I would have to that point
is he every team that has traded Paul George historically
has gotten significantly better. And I'm wondering here how many
teams are gonna still trade for Paul George. If Boston
(05:05):
makes the playoffs, He'll be thirty seven next playoffs. And
if you told Celtics fans before last season, Jason Tatum
with Terror's Achilles, they'd still finish as the two seed
in the East. They'd probably think that they'd be thrilled instead.
Look how they feel today. They're saying it's the worst
trade in Boston sports history. It feels like there's no
argument today that Boston is worse off than they were
(05:27):
this time yesterday.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Boston traded Babe Ruth. They traded it for money.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
They traded the greatest baseball player ever for money.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
And this is just as bad.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I mean, if you just go by the people that
he was traded for, you could build an all Star team. Well,
you could say he's the greatest player of all time
because it was Shay Gildess, Alexander Yes, Demontis de Bonis,
Victor Oladipo, Danilo Gallinari, Jalen Brown, seven first round picks
and four picks. But this guy is somebody's goat.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, because that's incredible, But is he It's a great
point you make about Philadelphia And because in Bee thinks
it's his team, Max, he thinks it's his team.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Edgecombe says, Hey, one day, it's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
My team, and Jalen Brown's like, nah, all you get
the hell out of the way.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
This is my team.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Well, Jalen Brown's on Twitch telling everybody that Joel Embiid
is a flopper. Remember that after the playoffs ended. Yeh,
so that that's gonna be now. I'm sure they can
hash it out the way you would assume Tatum and
he could have hashed out whatever issues. I'm sure they'll
do it. I'm sure you know. Mbiid can swallow his
pride a little bit because he knows he's probably has
the most championship ready team that he's had since twenty nineteen.
(06:36):
But it clearly is you know something that is going.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
To have to be addressed, is he Where was your
level of surprise that it was Philadelphia, because in all
the lead up to the Jalen Brown it felt like
we never really heard anything about this Philadelphia team thinking
about even making this move. And a point that we
made earlier on the podcast, every mock trade that we
saw for Jalen Brown, this would have been the worst one.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Yeah, by far, I.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Would have put two teams on the no trade list
if I was the Celtics and I'm dealing Jalen Brown
and it's the Sixers and the Miami Heat it's the
local rival, the closest rival literally geographically, and then you
know the rival that you've had over the several years.
Last thing you wanted Jalen Brown putting on a Heat
uniform the way Ray Allen did. So, Yeah, it was.
It was quite shocking, Like I literally took a little nap,
(07:24):
woke up and looked at my phone, and I thought
I was being pranked. Like I thought I was being pranked,
and yet Stu Gotts there was an NBA All Star
on my phone, a former NBA All Star, who said,
Who's immediate reaction, I'm just all I'm gonna tell you
is he's not a Miami Heat player, I'll say, all right,
or former Miami Heat player. First reaction, I think Boston
won this trade.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Oh I hate that guy. I can't stand that guy.
When every hee's zigging, he needs this egg.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
I don't even know if that was historically that's been you.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
And I hate myself, I do.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
That's a that's a good pull, Taylor.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I thought immediately to myself, Brad Stevens is very good
at his job.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
I think he's very good at his job.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Like I'm thinking to myself, they make this deal there
has to be another deal in the works after this,
and you're telling me no, I was discussing it with
you earlier.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Yeah, I'm not sure if there's definitely not another deal,
but this wasn't. You could tell this deal wasn't made
with the idea that they have one already in place,
already in the works. It's just, hey, for whatever reason,
we need to get off this Jalen Brown. And I'm
just gonna say contract, we need to get off this
Jalen Brown contract and then find a way to continue
whatever it was we were doing. You could argue that
(08:34):
they say to themselves, well, hold on, we just won
what was it, fifty six games largely without Jason Tatum.
So now if we just flip that and go just
Jason Tatum without Jalen Brown, we're probably gonna win a
good number of games. If you look at the on
off numbers that Tom Haberstrow posted earlier today, it's pretty
damning for Jalen Brown and games without Jalen Brown. I
(08:56):
want to say they were thirty six and six over
the last few years, and so they can convince themselves that, hey,
we have this order to get to you know, to
not have to worry about his contract. We can bring
in another guy that, hey, when he was on, can
give you, you know, can blow up for an entire
quarter or half, maybe even a game. And yeah, we
can probably recreate what we did last year with Jason
(09:16):
Tatum as our lead instead of Jalen Brown, and Paul
George is my number two. Derek White still there, who's
probably the most important piece of that team. It's not
named Brown or Tatum. So I think they can convince
themselves that they that they can still be a really
good team and that Brad Stevens still did a decent
job with what he was forced to do.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
It is odd or I guess validated what it is
you just said that the fact that on FanDuel the
odds for Philadelphia jumped very high to them getting out
of the East, making it to the finals, winning an
NBA title, they jumped up with Boston. They're still one
of the favorites, meaning their odds didn't go down nearly
as much as you would have thought they would go
(09:56):
down after losing Jalen Bratt. So maybe there's something to
what it is you're saying.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Yeah, and there was a time right after the honest tradehere,
I think Boston was still the favorite. Yeah, it's again
to the East, so yeah, it tells you what you
need to know there.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
What's up Taylor? Is he?
Speaker 5 (10:07):
According to Kurt Goldsberry, Dunksen three, which is a reputable
basketball analytics website that uses van stats and projections, says,
Jalen Brown is the eighty seventh best player in the league.
Where is the disconnect? Because the eye test is telling
us he's a top twenty player in the league. He's
a second team All NBA selection, he's a Finals MVP,
(10:29):
But his trade value and analytics are telling us, No,
that's not even really close to accurate to me.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
It's style of play. To me, Jalen Brown in nineteen
ninety five is All NBA first team every single year,
right because he's strong, physical, quick, fast enough mid range
that's his goal every single time. If I'm not gonna
dunk it, I can rise up for this mid range.
You can't really reach, you know, my heights when I'm
pulling up, when I'm jumping straight up, and I got
a nice clean mid range jump shot.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I think when you.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
You know, play today's game, you really got to do
a little bit more of the Jason Tatum thing. It's
either you know as what's the name of the website,
the podcast dunks three duncsan three's is all you want, right,
and so the mid range is not really your thing,
And so I think that's it's a style of play.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Thing for him.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
If if he were to want to be more efficient offensively,
he could be. He could, he would require him to
be on a team that says, hey, I'm optioned one
A at all times. Give me the ball on the post,
share the ball at the top, give me the screen
and roll. I don't think he's going to have all
those opportunities with Philly because it's just going to be
spread out. So yeah, I think analytics does him a
(11:31):
disservice because he's got sort of an old school game.
But can you win with him?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Literally? Have you literally have If.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
You're Lebron James and you're looking over the landscape, and
he is, and he will take his time now because
he has the entire stage to himself, Philadelphia becomes a
bit more attractive.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
It does, I mean, is he?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It does if you're willing, if you're wanting to win
a championship and you're willing to play for the league
minimum being the fifth guy on that team, not that
Lebron would be the fifth guy.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
That's got to be attractive to him.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
My think about it, Thursday, Oh well, oh really really? Yeah?
Has has Philadelphia quietly become the team that makes me
ruin it?
Speaker 4 (12:06):
I can take over that.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I think he was good? Well, I didn't know that.
I'm sorry, Taylor. Taylor is a nick fan.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Though the Sixers make you more nervous than the Celtics
at this point, don't they?
Speaker 5 (12:18):
As a neutral right now? I would be rooting for
Lebron to go to Philadelphia one because it makes the
most sense in terms of going to a team that
Lebron could be the thing that puts them over to
the top and become a title contender. But also is
isy that black retro seventy six ers jersey so nice
would be the number one selling jersey with with twenty
(12:39):
three James on the back.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
But here, here's here's my issue with Lebron and Philly. Okay,
how many years have we seen Joel Embiid not end
the playoffs either not in it at all healthy or
not end it, you know, playing well because he's injured
pretty much every single one right except for maybe nineteen
if even if you have a lineup of bj Edgecombe, Tyres, Maxi,
(13:03):
Jalen Brown, Lebron James, and Joel Embiid, that entire team's
success is dependent on the health of Joel Embiid, because yeah, Maxi, Edgecombe,
jb and Lebron. Nice team not going to be a
favorite to run through the playoffs in next year's NBA,
which is absolutely loaded. So I think, yeah, the health
of Embiid. Embiid's history still has people hesitant. I think
(13:25):
Lebron is not by any chance taking his last year
potentially his last year and making it dependent on that
dude's health and then dependent on Embiid and Jaylen Brown
getting along Like he's already been there with brand new teams.
He knows it's hard to get that chemistry that doesn't
feel like they're right fit for me.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
They're calling hawk Porty. The Embiid insurance is that what
they're calling them.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Put it on the pole.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
I will tell you this, If I'm Lebron and I
choose Philadelphia, I get together with Jalen Brown and Edgecombe
and Maxie, and I tell Joel Embiid, Hey, you're good
for the entire regular season. Just rest up for the postseason.
We've got the regular season covered. You be healthy for
the postseason. That's when we need you and Stu.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Adding to that, Stephen Gansey, the brother of seventy six
Ers GM, posted on Twitter a photo of his brother,
the GM, Mike Gansey, and Lebron James together in high
school and just tweeted it with the eyes open emotion.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
That's what's really gonna get Lebron nostalgic. Oh, I went
to high school with this guy. Let me go play
for the Sixers.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
So they didn't even go to high school together. They
were just in a photo shoot together.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
That's all that matters.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yes, that's all he needs, and you would agree this
GM has already done more than Darryl Mory.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
I mean, I will say though, getting Lebron on that
team will fix the graphic that people have been running
ever since the Jalen Brown trade because that one has
the starters as embiid Maxi Edgecombe Brown, and Dean Wade.
Let's replace Stean Wade.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Lebron Dean Wade. Any right, Lebron going to play with
the d Wade.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Reunited.

Speaker 4 (15:22):
This one's courtesy of the World Cup on Fox.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
Nine minutes Stock. It's time to go. This one up
is telling me more power. Lucandoff also is giving up
the entire Rightes goal till the.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
States.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Wow, what a goal.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I mean, I'm wrapped up in the soccer like everyone else.
But the play of the day should have been the
Sixers GM getting Jaubert from the Celtics.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
I ain't know, I mean yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
They they were reportedly trying to get rid of Paul
George anyway and shop him and they would have to
give up a pick to just to get rid of him.
And instead you just give up one more pick and
get back Jalen Brown.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
What a win? Yeah, Stu.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Maybe my favorite reporting during this was Tom habit Strow's
reporting where he said the Celtics are banking on Peyton
Pritchard making a Jalen Brunson type.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Leap what I'm sorry read that again? Please?
Speaker 5 (16:19):
What the Celtics are banking on Peyton Pritchard making a
Jalen Brunson type. Per Tom Haberstrow, the exact quote is
the Celtics trading Jalen Brown is a bet that Peyton
Pritchard is their in house version of New York Knicks
gard Jalen Brunson, a diminutive player who didn't fully show
his talents until Luca was out of the picture. So,
(16:41):
Peyton Pritchard, good luck.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Being Jalen Brunson. Yes, I thought this was all about
Yugo Gonzalez. I mean, change your life. Good luck selling
that to your fan base. Hey, we did this trade
because we believe Peyton Pritchard is going to be the
next Jalen Brunson.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
I mean, look, nobody believed that Jalen Brunston was going
to be the next Jalen Brunson. So I can't say
I did. I can't say that.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
You know, it's impossible right, but.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
What what what's going on in Boston?
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Maybe they do have terrible uh you know, basketball ops
people with terrible assessments, because what I mean this isn't
even a knock on Peyton Pritchard. He is a nice player.
You averaged seventeen points a game, which I never thought
he'd be able to do. But did we see what
Jalen Brunston just did.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Yeah, go ahead, Uh, this is per Sham's too. The
Celtics originally asked the Sixers for five first round picks VJ.
Edgecumbe and Paul George. Oh my god, boy did they
come off that price.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
I mean, that's time to go to work. You got
to aim for the sky. But good lord, the Sixers countered,
and the Celtics were like, Okay, we'll take that.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Aim for the sky, but don't settle for the seal.
He don't settle for the floor.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
Geez.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
When I went into negotiations with Fox Sports Radio and
Steve Gotts, my original demand was five million dollars.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
So glad you landed on just the one. Hey have
you guys seen this new proposed well it's not really
a proposed rule.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
The NBA is gonna use it.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
I believe in summer league, maybe even some G league
where it's the one free throw rule, where effectively it
doesn't matter what shot you attempt, a two or three,
you will take one free throw and it will count
for two points if you shot at two, or three
points if you were fouled shooting a three, And then
in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter and
then overtime if there is any the rules go back
to normal where you have to make all the free throws.
(18:42):
So during pressure time, right during pressure time, you make more.
You have to take more free throws. To me, I
don't like I really don't like this, but it's just
because it messes what I'm with, what I'm familiar with,
right because like, I don't really want to watch Steph
Curry make two free throws. I'm pretty sure he's gonna
make them both every single time, but the time that
he missed is one, and then it's like a one
point game down the stretch. I want to be able
(19:04):
to say, damn, if Steph Curry would have made that
free throw instead, it's one free throw could cost you
three points. I think that's a little too little, too
like penalizing.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
What would be the reason to do that just speeding
up the game.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
It feels like it's speeding up the game. Nobody wants
to see free throws. And maybe maybe could try to
get people to foul to defend without fouling.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I'd be good with just giving Steph the two and
moving it on, you know, like, hey, let's keep playing Steph.
Those are good, Let's move it on. Yeah, speaking of
moving on, I don't like that rule at all. I
am excited here. By the way, Taylor Twelveman going to
join us at about a half hour, ice Cube gonna
join us at hour number two as well.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Wimbleton is going on.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I have to say it like that, Patrick McEnroe, do
you find yourself saying Wimbleton as a guy from Long
Island and.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
Absolutely never I'm I'm glad you got that right.
Speaker 7 (19:52):
I had to correct Anderson Cooper once on CNN because
in the commercial he said Wimbleton, and I said, Anderson, listen,
I'm not going to tell you your business anything, but
I want you to get.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
This right, okay, And He's like, I'm not a big
sports fan.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
I get it, but I know you are s two guys.
I know You're a big golfer and a big mad
dog guy. I love listening to you with the mad Dog.
This year your picks were horrendous, but I love listening
to you every week with Dog.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
Loved it.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Patrick, I was like, fourteen games above five hundred.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
I mean that's pretty good. I can give it. I
give you your props on that.
Speaker 7 (20:25):
I just love the Dog getting on you about your
golf and are you gonna.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
Watch this game? How could you not watch this? You
know he gives it.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
He gives me the same shit, like, how come you
can you're not watching this game?
Speaker 6 (20:37):
Well you're not a sports fan. Oh yes I am,
but I'm not insane like you.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
The Championships Wimble Dunn continues through July twelfth, with daily
live coverage on ESPN, ESPN deportees at streaming live on
the ESPN app. Patrick, do you find, like, listen, any
other year, this would be the center of everyone's attention
in London in England? Do you find like maybe they're
(21:02):
kind of a little bit focused on Harry Kane and
the World Cup and not as much on the tennis
that's being played right now.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
Well, I got to tell you, the crowds of Wimbledon
have been unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
But I hear you because I was watching. I was
riveted to the England.
Speaker 7 (21:16):
Game because actually, yesterday, guys, yesterday it was my sixtieth birthday.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Wow, happy birthday.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
Yeah yeah, but I appreciate that.
Speaker 7 (21:23):
So ESPN was nice enough to let me, you know,
work eleven to four, leave a little bit early because
my wife came over, two of my three daughters, so
she put a nice dinner together for me. But we
were going to this restaurant in Chelsea where I stay about,
you know, halfway between London and Wimbledon is.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
Where I stay.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
And we found this nice, little local place, so they
hooked us up.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
They took care of us.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
But I said, if England lose it, it's just gonna
be everyone's gonna be so bummed.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
So I was.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
Watching the game, and you know, obviously they scored. Harry
Kane scored the two late goals.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
And everybody was like, so oh, everybody's in a great mood.
I'm like, yeah, thank god they won because if they lost,
this would have been a nightmare tonight.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
And then I watched a Belgium Senegal game, which is incredible.
I'm big too, I'm glad you have Taylor coming up
in the next half hour because I love the World Cup.
I'm you know, I'm someone that's traveled the world playing
tennis for my whole life, so coming to Europe as
often as I have, you know, soccer is obviously the
king over here.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
And I'm not going to say I followed the Premier.
Speaker 7 (22:21):
League or La Liga, you know, religiously like I do
the NFL to the NBA.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
There's almost a goal for Spain. I'm watching Spain Austria.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
I love it.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
But I love the World Cup and I love what
Team USA is doing because they actually look like they
actually know how to play football or soccer as we
call it. Yes, they're organized, right, well, they're organized and
they have some skill player right. I can actually you know,
control the ball, make passes. Look like they're like a
(22:51):
real European type South American club.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
So I'm loving it.
Speaker 7 (22:55):
Belgium is going to be I said it to beginning
to this tournament World Cup. I know we're supposed to
be talking well, but I'm supposed.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
To be promoted. We'll get there, We'll get we'll get
to that.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
But I love what the team US say is doing.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
And I said, I felt as a fan of US
soccer that they have to at least get to the
quarterfinals to make this successful. So I think that this
game coming up.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
I don't know what the odds say. If we're the
favorite of this, I would say Belgium is probably the
slight favorite.
Speaker 7 (23:22):
But the way the US is playing has been very
impressive throughout the tournament.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Yeah, it's like Patrick, It's basically, you know, over the years,
there's always been one, maybe two players you would watch,
right like oh, Landon Donovan or oh Brian McBride or
oh Clint Dempsey. But now you watch all these guys
and it's just like it feels like they have all
the elements. They have multiple guys who are not just
fast athletic, but can handle the ball well and just
see and then they got the one touch passing stuff
(23:46):
where it feels like the chemistry is all there. We've
never seen it from the US before. It always feels
like the perfect time, it's a home World Cup for
them to sort of unveil this style, right.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
Yeah, no, it's it's it's it's amazing because.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
They actually look like they know where they're doing and
you know, in the past, we would be kind of
rough and tumble. We played tough defense, yeah, but we
didn't have really the skilled players in the middle of
the field and then up front. So we got we
have a nice mix of all players that can actually
play at all parts of the field.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
So I'm loving it. All right. We did enough soccer
because I'm a huge but.
Speaker 7 (24:17):
Let's get into Wimbledon, because I think this has been
an interesting first few days.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
I mean, the Serena thing was big early.
Speaker 7 (24:24):
I thought she played actually pretty damn well that in
that match on center court, actually sat there, believe it
or not.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
Guys, I got my first invite ever to.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
The Royal Box.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
Okay, wow, which I don't know how that happened.
Speaker 7 (24:38):
Maybe because I'm buddies with Tim Henman and he's a
big sort of committee guy at the club, and we
were talking at the French Open and we were just
riffing on stuff and he said, we were talking about
the Royal.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Box and I said, you know, I've never been there.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
I've never been in the Royal Box. So next thing
I know, like a week later, after the French Open ended,
I get it. He goes, oh, check your email, you
got an invite so I was there. But anyway, I
was there for the first match Fiantech, her first match.
Then I went down and called the match with my
brother for ESPN, and ESPN was cool.
Speaker 6 (25:06):
They said go, you know, go to the Royal Box, and.
Speaker 7 (25:08):
Then I went back to watch Serena because I'm like,
I'm gonna go check this out. And Serena, I thought,
was actually hit.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
The ball pretty well. The serve was very good, I thought. Now,
the movement obviously was not great, and she's forty four.
The movement wasn't.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
Great by the way when she retired four years ago,
and that was to be expected.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
But I thought she hit the ball extremely well.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
And you know, the fact that she was able to
go out there and play at a pretty high level
in her first match in four years and singles was
pretty darn impressive. But I don't really know why she
came back other than she she just wanted to maybe
test herself, have her kid see her play. I mean,
she's the greatest of all time as far as I'm
concerned on the women's side, But to see her do
(25:56):
that and come back and play at a pretty high
level I thought was pretty dark.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Do you think we'll see more.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
I think we will.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
I think she'll probably try to play some this summer
in a in a tournament or two, and then try
to play in New York at the US Open.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
And I don't think she's coming.
Speaker 7 (26:12):
Back just to do like a one off, right, you know,
obviously there's some issue apparently.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
With the knee once she uh you know.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
Didn't come to the press, which I thought was a mistake.
She should have come to the press, even if she
nicked up her knee a little bit. You know, you're
going out there, you're Serena Williams, are creating a lot
of buzz, but you mean.
Speaker 6 (26:30):
Come to the press conference, you know, talk to the press.
I thought that was not a great move out of her.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
But I hope she's gonna play the doubles. I haven't
heard officially. I think I heard just such. The plan
is for her and Venus to play.
Speaker 6 (26:44):
But I haven't heard that officially yet. But I do
think she'll try to play again this summer.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Yes, Patrick, if the only reason she came back was
so her daughter could see how beloved she is, how
great she once was, how great she still is, that's
a pretty damn good reason it Because I found myself,
hitting emotional and having goosebumps during that, you know, yeah
yeah yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
By the way, Spain just scored so one nil.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
You're trying to get me to do tennis.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
Yeah yeah, no, no, no, no no. I think that's a
great reason to come back.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
And you know, she's done everything there is to do
right as a tennis player. Yes, so more power to
her to come back and play and to play a
very competitive match.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
I mean, I don't care who you are.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
Okay to come out there after not having played the
match for four years and walk out on center court
at Wimbledon, okay and play. You know, most players are
going to go and play a couple of tune up tournaments.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
Let me see how I feel, Let me see how
I do. Do I get the rust off?
Speaker 7 (27:41):
I mean, she played two doubles matches, So that shows
you the heart that she has and what a champion's
that she could go out there and play a darn
good match against a player who.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
You know wasn't even born when Serena was winning her
first major. So I think it was awesome. I do
you think that on the women's side.
Speaker 7 (28:02):
You know, you've got quite a few American women with
a shot to do well.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
Madison keys I did her match today.
Speaker 7 (28:08):
Jess Pagoula, Amanda av I did her match also today.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
She got to the final last year.
Speaker 7 (28:15):
Men, you got Taylor Fritz, you got Francis Tiafu, who
I just finished watching. So we got a lot of
stories on the men's side from an American standpoint that
could possibly make some noise. But the bottom line is
a favorite of the men's side is still Yanick Sinner,
the number one seeds defending champ Alcarez is out of course.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
As we all know. So that kind of opens the.
Speaker 7 (28:35):
Door for a few other players to think, you know,
maybe I could get to the final this semi final,
like a Fritz, like a Tiafo. But if something happens
to Sinner, like what happened in Paris where the heat
got to him, who knows. So I think it makes
for a little more intrigue about who's going to actually
be holding up the trophy at the end of this
(28:58):
wimble done.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
For well done.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
If I tell you someone other than Sinner is going
to win Wimbledon, you would tell me who Who's it
gonna be?
Speaker 7 (29:07):
Well, Djokovic looked amazing last night against Citzepez.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
I mean straight set win for him.
Speaker 7 (29:12):
So he's in the same half of the draw as Sinner,
So they're due to me if it happens in the semifinals.
So he's the second favorite at the moment. But the
bottom half of the draw, you've got Alexander Zurerev, who
just won his first major. He looked good today, He's
never been a great grass court player. You've got, you know,
guys like min Chic and that half of the draw,
(29:32):
you've got who made the semis of the French. As
I said, you've got Taylor Fritz, Francis Tafo, Tiafle It's
got to play.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
A Bublik next.
Speaker 7 (29:39):
So there's there's a bunch of guys in that half
of the draw that are looking at this, guys as
this is an unbelievable opportunity, you know, to make a
major final.
Speaker 6 (29:49):
For Taylor Fritz, he's been in a US Open final,
he's been in the Wimbledon semi.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
You could certainly make the argument that he tiafo Or,
you know, maybe the two the best grass court plays
you got Demonor or the Australian and there so all
these guys are thinking to themselves, this is my chance.
But if Center's playing at the top of his game, right,
he's a huge favorite.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 7 (30:12):
In the first two matches thus far, he has not
been at the top of his game.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
He's looked a little rusty.
Speaker 7 (30:17):
He's making more mistakes, so that I think gives hope
for the other players.
Speaker 6 (30:21):
In the locker room.
Speaker 7 (30:22):
That wait a second, even if I'm in the section
of the draw with Center, maybe I've got a shot
because he doesn't look as dominant. It's early only to
the first two rounds for him, as he did last
year at this same juncture of the tournament.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
Patrick Wimbledon is a bucket list sporting event for so
many fans. If someone is going for the first time,
what would be your best advice for getting the most
out of the experience?
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Question?
Speaker 6 (30:44):
Uh, get a.
Speaker 7 (30:45):
Ticket, you know, get a ticket to Center. Actually, one
of my best buddies was here and I used to
be able to get tickets like for these events, for
the us O Open, like no problem. Now it's like
impossible really to get tickets for Center Corp for court one.
So I said, you get what you call it grounds, okay, which.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
Means you can go in, get in and go all.
Speaker 7 (31:03):
The outer court. It's so crowded now, guys at all
the majors. I mean, I know you're talking about the
World Cup and we're like, hey, is tennis getting a
lot of attention in the media at whatever. When you
go on the grounds at Wimbledon, you can't move basically,
same with the Australian this year. Same at the French Open.
It'll be the same at the US Open. So these
(31:24):
events are like bigger than they've ever been from a
spectator standpoint. So what I would tell someone is do
whatever you can do to try to get a center
court ticket. Get there early because the center court matches
you begin normally at one thirty pm.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
The outer court start at eleven am. And I was
out there.
Speaker 7 (31:42):
I had to scramble to get a ground spass for
my daughter yesterday, one of my daughters. So I go out,
I'd give her the ticket and the lines are like
unbelievable just to get in right. They don't open the
gates literally at ten am. Precisely, this is what you
love about Wimbledon, the tradition, the attention to detail.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
Ten am, those beautiful gates open and I sell them. Okay,
now we can go in.
Speaker 7 (32:07):
You know, I got my credentials, so I can go
in like the line for people that have credentials. But
I would tell someone if look, this is what I'll say.
My favorite tournament now to go to and attendant is
a tennis versus the Australian Open. But if you're a
tennis fan and you have the chance to go to
one day at one tournament, I would say, go to
(32:27):
Wimbledon because Wimbledon is unique. It's like the Masters of tennis,
the Masters in the golf tournament obviously for tennis, and
the tradition. You know, the history, the beauty, all that,
the beautiful grass courts.
Speaker 6 (32:41):
But if you go get there early, get there.
Speaker 7 (32:43):
At nine am, if you have a ticket, and get
in and walk the ground, see the outer court. Wimbledon's
still one of the few places in tennis well you
can actually stand by the court and watch a match,
sit on a bench.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
They have these old wooden benches. You literally can sit there.
Speaker 7 (33:00):
Now, you got to get there early to get to
get those. Do you guys realize you guys may not know.
I'm sure you don't know this. Back in the day,
a part of Center Court was standing room only. Okay,
So you literally there's a whole section of like a
few hundred seats where if you had just a pass
to get in.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
You would people would wait all night.
Speaker 7 (33:21):
They'd wait in line, and then it would sprint when
the gates opened to get into center court to get
standing room tickets.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
And then of course it's the soccer games.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Over the years, they know.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
Had issues people getting trampled and so on, so they change.
Speaker 6 (33:34):
The laws in England.
Speaker 7 (33:35):
This is like thirty forty years ago, but I remember
back in the day when my brother was playing, for example,
against Borg, they were like people standing there and they
would wait all night to get there.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
So it's Wimbledon still.
Speaker 7 (33:46):
That's a combination of the traditions of what's made in
great but also adapting to the modern age with electronic
line calling, with the beautiful scoreboards you know, et cetera,
et cetera. But they still have that amazing mix. I
think I've never been to the Masters, but that's what
I've heard. They are able to do it with the
Masters as well.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
On the way out here, quickly, what did your brother
get you for your sixtieth birthday?
Speaker 7 (34:09):
You know he actually showed up because he was calling
this is a This is an epic Johnny Mack. Okay,
he was calling the sits a Pass Djokovic match, which
went late because it went into the night, so it
was like ten ten thirty. My party started like seven thirty,
and you know, we had.
Speaker 6 (34:26):
Dinner at eight thirty.
Speaker 7 (34:27):
And Johnny Mack he was doing it with Mike Monico
and Andy Roddick.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
He's been an amazing addition to our team this year.
Speaker 7 (34:34):
And when Djokovic broke for the second time in the
third set, so he was up two sets to love,
only Johnny mackuld.
Speaker 6 (34:42):
Say, guys, I'm out of here. I'm leaving.
Speaker 7 (34:45):
This is the match wasn't over yet to go to
my brother's party, okay, because I got to be there
for my bro.
Speaker 6 (34:51):
It's his sixtieth birthday. Yes, and everybody was.
Speaker 7 (34:53):
Everybody was talking about today. When I came into the
green room, They're like, hey, did you hear.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
What Johnny Mack. I said, yeah, of course I heard.
Speaker 7 (34:58):
He came and showed up and bornedham some of pasta
penne bowlonaise, and he was happy as a clam and shit,
and I gave him a glass of wine and we
were loving life. But that Only Johnny Mack can pull
that kind of stuff off and still come back the
next day.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
And say, Hey, john he's our guy. Yeah, he's the man,
but he's my guy.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
He's my big broye.
Speaker 6 (35:17):
And so he didn't. All he had to do was
be there. I got lots of presidents here from all.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
My gift was showing up.
Speaker 6 (35:23):
Yeah, he showed up.
Speaker 7 (35:24):
And I was happy, and he wrote me an awesome
text and I love him and I love work. In fact,
tomorrow we're doing the Djokovic match on center court together,
so there's another birthday present for me.
Speaker 6 (35:35):
They just keep coming, guys.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Yes, it's incredible. He's earned the right to do that.
We love having you here. Hopefully we can have you
all more often. The Championships Wimble Dunne continues through July twelfth,
with daily live coverage on ESPN, ESPN Deportees and streaming
live on the ESPN app.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Patrick, thank you for doing this. We appreciate it, ma
and enjoyed the soccer, enjoy the tennis man.
Speaker 6 (35:56):
Stu Gott.
Speaker 7 (35:57):
There's only one thing I want in return. You and
me play eight team down there in Florida. When I

Speaker 3 (36:03):
I am in.
Speaker 6 (36:04):
I love it. You guys are great. Appreciate it. You
guys having me, Thanks very much.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
We'll bring mad Dog with us. Absolutely all right, thank you, Patrick. Yes,
we are done. I will bet your number. We'll make
that happen. I can't wait. Appreciate you. We'll take a
quick time out and we'll we have to think about
it on a Thursday. We'll do so next.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
STU got some company national radio show brought to you
by fan Duel, America's number one sportsbook.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
It is a think about it Thursday.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Here Taylor twelve minu is going to join us in
about ten minutes. Ice Cube going to join us at
around four twenty five. Taylor twelve minut ice Cube at
Patrick McEnroe, what a collection of guess that is? Huh,
let's think about it?
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Is he? What are we thinking about today at the imaging.
Speaker 6 (36:46):
You know that segment?
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Talk about it Tuesday on Hawkman Crowder in Soleiro this
is like that but bigger, bigger and better better, And
forty eight hours later, this is than cut it.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
Thursday.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
We got about full sixty seconds to think about this,
all right, America, I know too much. We're heading into
Independence Day okay, and please let's just call it Independence
Day because it is not America's birthday.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
This drives me crazy.
Speaker 4 (37:15):
Just because you declared independence on July fourth, seventeen seventy
six does not me and you became independent that happened
in September third, seventeen eighty three, after they signed the
Treaty of Paris. This is effectively saying somebody's birthday is
when their parents started trying to have a baby. Okay,
because it could have been in somewhere in between seventeen
seventy six and seventeen eighty three. There were a couple
(37:36):
dicey situations where we might not have even won that
revolutionary war.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
But because we claimed it.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
On the July fourth, seventeen seventy six, we celebrate that
as our independence.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
That does not make sense to me. So the third
of September is the fourth of July.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
The third of September is the fourth of July. Yes, huh, do.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
We get the day off?
Speaker 4 (37:55):
I would hope, so Treaty of Paris Day. Let's call
it Happy Independence Day everyone.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
It seems like the only person who was thinking about
it was you, true Taylor Twelveman.

Speaker 3 (40:39):
Honestly, they did a bunch of stuff. I mean, here's
a bag of stuff.
Speaker 5 (40:46):
Give us the honest And somehow the Celtics got less
for Jalen Brown.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
It's unbelievable. I still I'll never get over it.
Speaker 5 (40:54):
Eighty six percent of the audience said, yes, they just
got a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 4 (40:58):
And by the way, I'm so thankful because I said
it on this radio show. Get heimi Hockkes Junior off
my team, and I was nervous that he was going
to still be on my team.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
Right all right, Well he was part of the bag
of stuff.
Speaker 5 (41:10):
He was, Yes, it was in a twenty eighteen NBA redraft.
Is DeAndre Eaton just a second round flyer undrafted?
Speaker 3 (41:19):
Maybe what a draft that was?
Speaker 1 (41:21):
He was the number one pick in that draft? Is
he started to do a redraft? Who was number one
in your redraft? Do you remember? I think it was
Shay right, Brudzon was two or three or something like that.
Speaker 3 (41:31):
What were the results here? I loved favor? Yeah, well debatable.
Speaker 5 (41:35):
Seventy nine percent of the audience said, yes, second round
flyer at best, the number one overall pick.
Speaker 4 (41:42):
Crazy, man, Lakers don't know what to do with that guy.
Speaker 5 (41:45):
Big one for this this foursome right here? His cookie
cake overrated?
Speaker 3 (41:51):
Wow? I love cookie cake, I do.
Speaker 5 (41:56):
Fifty five percent of the audience said no, not over rated.
Speaker 6 (42:00):
Man.
Speaker 4 (42:01):
I think those people don't get enough cookies in their life,
because if the only cookies you get is the cookie cake,
then you're just like, wow, this is amazing. But if
you have actual cookies and you have actual cake, but
you settle for cookie cake, not the same.
Speaker 3 (42:13):
We're talking about that giant cookie with frosting.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
On it, right, yeah, the chocolate chip cookies yet, right
that you cut little slices. Of course it's not. It's delightful.
How are we divided on this?
Speaker 3 (42:25):
I mean, to America, I don't know. He doesn't like
a cookie cake?
Speaker 5 (42:29):
Is saying a team will want to play well the
worst gambling advice ever.
Speaker 3 (42:33):
So that was.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
Gambling advice that uh bored Ricardo gave me. And thankfully
we're done with his fifty shows better than breaking bed.
But that was advice he gave me. I took his
advice and I lost. It's the only.
Speaker 3 (42:46):
World Cup bet that I've lost, and it was for
the Germans.
Speaker 5 (42:48):
The Germans will want to play well. The Germans lost
to parents.
Speaker 4 (42:52):
They're gonna want to play well because they have a
tough next opponent.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
They forgot the play well for this opponent.
Speaker 5 (43:00):
Under the audience said yes, big one for me.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
I took it like it was his five star lock
of the week.
Speaker 5 (43:05):
I mean, are the Yankees the worst forty eight and
thirty five team in baseball history?
Speaker 6 (43:13):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (43:13):
This came back in your favor.
Speaker 1 (43:15):
Taylor does not like this Yankee team at all at all,
which is strange.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
Go ahead.
Speaker 5 (43:19):
Eighty two percent of the audience said yes, the audience
is right.
Speaker 3 (43:24):
That just being nice to you. What else you have to.
Speaker 5 (43:27):
Big one for Mikey is man hunting all about just
having a dog in a drone.
Speaker 4 (43:36):
I will say having a cute puppy definitely get you
a man.
Speaker 3 (43:41):
That had to come back. Like plus ninety.
Speaker 5 (43:44):
Eighty nine percent of the audience.
Speaker 3 (43:48):
The keda man.
Speaker 5 (43:50):
Those are the polls.

Radio Fun Show.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Today, Taylor Twelman going to join us, ice Cube get
to join Us, and coming up at about fifteen minutes
live from Wimbledon. It's gonna be Patrick McEnroe.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Don't be angry just because you're saying it right.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I did a hissed at you right there, Izzy. I
am so confused. The United States appears to finally be
good at soccer, and I have no idea what the
Celtics were thinking by trading Jalen Brown to a team
they just lost to in the Eastern Conference semi finals
in the Philadelphia seventy six Ers.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
I'm sorry in the first round.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Right yep, trading them inside that division, inside that conference
and making the Sixers a better team than the Boston Celtics.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
So confused.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
It feels like they were just trying to get the
deal done before the USA Soccer match started, because it
felt like they were on some sort of pressured deadline
that they weren't on right, Like, yes, you probably ruined
some relationships or the relationships some by offering him from Milwaukee,
you know, so publicly, and even that you could say,
(01:31):
you could talk yourself off of being insulting because it's
Yanni Santeto Kumpa.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Well, that's what I was gonna say.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Is it really that insulting if you're Jalen Brown and
publicly they dangled you out there for Giannis, one of
the best players in NBA history.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
No, because if you just want to go one for one, yes,
you've won a championship, Yes, you've won a finals MVP.
He's done that too, and he's got a couple of MVPs,
and he's got a deepoy and he's still thirty one
years old, So it shouldn't be insulting for him to
be dangled in that trade. But for whatever reason, it
felt like they were under immense pressure to get something
done immediately, very soon after the honest deal happened to Miami.
(02:07):
And you know, the new year starts, a new league
year starts, and to me, stude, that just sounds like
an ownership edict. You know, they changed ownership, and they're
probably looking at Jalen Brown's contract and when they have
to extend him and saying, wait a second, what's this
going to cost us? Like seventy million dollars annually for
a player that we're still not even that sure is
(02:28):
you know, belongs you know, top of the league, all NBA,
all second team MBA. So yeah, it just felt like
pressure from up top to get something done. And they
convinced themselves on Paul George. Maybe because Paul had a
decent series against them, Maybe because Paul they know they
can move on from him without any you know, hesitation,
without any real fear of ruining anything that they've built
(02:48):
so far. So I think the most embarrassing part for
them is, like you mentioned going to Philly, right, the
team in your division, Yes, the team that just came
back and beat you in the first.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Because I think Celtic fans would say, hey, if you
feel the need to trade them, if it's economics, if
it's you just want to get rid of the guy.
He's not good in your locker room, do you have
to trade him to someone? We have to face, you know,
fifteen times a year and potentially in the playoffs, right.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
And the other thing is is like I look back
at this and think, you know, they for years people
in the media were just like, I think it's time
to break up Brown and Tatum. I don't think they
can win a championship together. And it's almost like they
got stubborn in the front office and said, no, I
don't care what you think, We're going to win a
championship with these guys. Absolutely loaded up the roster and
(03:36):
they finally accomplished it.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
They did it.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
And so when you come off of a year where
you didn't have the same type of talent, not only
was Jason Tatum out for most of the year, but
your supporting cast was not what it was before, you're
going to make a judgment on the one player who
was basically carrying you throughout. That tells me it's not
about basketball. It tells me it's about finances and it's
some sort of personality. Because you could also argue, hey,
(04:02):
if it's about finances, move on from Jason Tatum. If
Jalen Brown is your Finals MVP is your main piece,
they obviously think of Tatum higher than that. So they
went with Brown. And it's an issue where you could
also argue maybe they've ruined the seventy six ers organization
right now because look at their plan. Their plan was Tyres,
Maxi and VJ Edgecomb. Sure the plan was built around
(04:23):
those guys. Obviously try to share the timeline with Embiid
as much as possible. But now you get Jalen Brown
in their Taylor. Do you think Jalen Brown goes in
there and says, fine, I'll be the third or fourth
option behind Maxi and Embiid, Or does Jalen Brown go
in there saying I have to have a monster season,
be a number one option and back up everything that
I've done in Boston.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
I think that's more likely. He goes in thinking that
it's going to try to be his team, But that's
a lot of personalities that you have to kind of
manage there. The counter I would have to that point
is he every team that has traded Paul George historically
has gotten significantly better. And I'm wondering here how many
teams are gonna still trade for Paul George. If Boston
(05:05):
makes the playoffs, He'll be thirty seven next playoffs. And
if you told Celtics fans before last season, Jason Tatum
with Terror's Achilles, they'd still finish as the two seed
in the East. They'd probably think that they'd be thrilled instead.
Look how they feel today. They're saying it's the worst
trade in Boston sports history. It feels like there's no
argument today that Boston is worse off than they were
(05:27):
this time yesterday.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Boston traded Babe Ruth. They traded it for money.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
They traded the greatest baseball player ever for money.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
And this is just as bad.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I mean, if you just go by the people that
he was traded for, you could build an all Star team. Well,
you could say he's the greatest player of all time
because it was Shay Gildess, Alexander Yes, Demontis de Bonis,
Victor Oladipo, Danilo Gallinari, Jalen Brown, seven first round picks
and four picks. But this guy is somebody's goat.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, because that's incredible, But is he It's a great
point you make about Philadelphia And because in Bee thinks
it's his team, Max, he thinks it's his team.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Edgecombe says, Hey, one day, it's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
My team, and Jalen Brown's like, nah, all you get
the hell out of the way.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
This is my team.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Well, Jalen Brown's on Twitch telling everybody that Joel Embiid
is a flopper. Remember that after the playoffs ended. Yeh,
so that that's gonna be now. I'm sure they can
hash it out the way you would assume Tatum and
he could have hashed out whatever issues. I'm sure they'll
do it. I'm sure you know. Mbiid can swallow his
pride a little bit because he knows he's probably has
the most championship ready team that he's had since twenty nineteen.
(06:36):
But it clearly is you know something that is going.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
To have to be addressed, is he Where was your
level of surprise that it was Philadelphia, because in all
the lead up to the Jalen Brown it felt like
we never really heard anything about this Philadelphia team thinking
about even making this move. And a point that we
made earlier on the podcast, every mock trade that we
saw for Jalen Brown, this would have been the worst one.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Yeah, by far, I.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Would have put two teams on the no trade list
if I was the Celtics and I'm dealing Jalen Brown
and it's the Sixers and the Miami Heat it's the
local rival, the closest rival literally geographically, and then you
know the rival that you've had over the several years.
Last thing you wanted Jalen Brown putting on a Heat
uniform the way Ray Allen did. So, Yeah, it was.
It was quite shocking, Like I literally took a little nap,
(07:24):
woke up and looked at my phone, and I thought
I was being pranked. Like I thought I was being pranked,
and yet Stu Gotts there was an NBA All Star
on my phone, a former NBA All Star, who said,
Who's immediate reaction, I'm just all I'm gonna tell you
is he's not a Miami Heat player, I'll say, all right,
or former Miami Heat player. First reaction, I think Boston
won this trade.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Oh I hate that guy. I can't stand that guy.
When every hee's zigging, he needs this egg.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
I don't even know if that was historically that's been you.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
And I hate myself, I do.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
That's a that's a good pull, Taylor.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I thought immediately to myself, Brad Stevens is very good
at his job.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
I think he's very good at his job.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Like I'm thinking to myself, they make this deal there
has to be another deal in the works after this,
and you're telling me no, I was discussing it with
you earlier.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Yeah, I'm not sure if there's definitely not another deal,
but this wasn't. You could tell this deal wasn't made
with the idea that they have one already in place,
already in the works. It's just, hey, for whatever reason,
we need to get off this Jalen Brown. And I'm
just gonna say contract, we need to get off this
Jalen Brown contract and then find a way to continue
whatever it was we were doing. You could argue that
(08:34):
they say to themselves, well, hold on, we just won
what was it, fifty six games largely without Jason Tatum.
So now if we just flip that and go just
Jason Tatum without Jalen Brown, we're probably gonna win a
good number of games. If you look at the on
off numbers that Tom Haberstrow posted earlier today, it's pretty
damning for Jalen Brown and games without Jalen Brown. I
(08:56):
want to say they were thirty six and six over
the last few years, and so they can convince themselves that, hey,
we have this order to get to you know, to
not have to worry about his contract. We can bring
in another guy that, hey, when he was on, can
give you, you know, can blow up for an entire
quarter or half, maybe even a game. And yeah, we
can probably recreate what we did last year with Jason
(09:16):
Tatum as our lead instead of Jalen Brown, and Paul
George is my number two. Derek White still there, who's
probably the most important piece of that team. It's not
named Brown or Tatum. So I think they can convince
themselves that they that they can still be a really
good team and that Brad Stevens still did a decent
job with what he was forced to do.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
It is odd or I guess validated what it is
you just said that the fact that on FanDuel the
odds for Philadelphia jumped very high to them getting out
of the East, making it to the finals, winning an
NBA title, they jumped up with Boston. They're still one
of the favorites, meaning their odds didn't go down nearly
as much as you would have thought they would go
(09:56):
down after losing Jalen Bratt. So maybe there's something to
what it is you're saying.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Yeah, and there was a time right after the honest tradehere,
I think Boston was still the favorite. Yeah, it's again
to the East, so yeah, it tells you what you
need to know there.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
What's up Taylor? Is he?
Speaker 5 (10:07):
According to Kurt Goldsberry, Dunksen three, which is a reputable
basketball analytics website that uses van stats and projections, says,
Jalen Brown is the eighty seventh best player in the league.
Where is the disconnect? Because the eye test is telling
us he's a top twenty player in the league. He's
a second team All NBA selection, he's a Finals MVP,
(10:29):
But his trade value and analytics are telling us, No,
that's not even really close to accurate to me.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
It's style of play. To me, Jalen Brown in nineteen
ninety five is All NBA first team every single year,
right because he's strong, physical, quick, fast enough mid range
that's his goal every single time. If I'm not gonna
dunk it, I can rise up for this mid range.
You can't really reach, you know, my heights when I'm
pulling up, when I'm jumping straight up, and I got
a nice clean mid range jump shot.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I think when you.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
You know, play today's game, you really got to do
a little bit more of the Jason Tatum thing. It's
either you know as what's the name of the website,
the podcast dunks three duncsan three's is all you want, right,
and so the mid range is not really your thing,
And so I think that's it's a style of play.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Thing for him.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
If if he were to want to be more efficient offensively,
he could be. He could, he would require him to
be on a team that says, hey, I'm optioned one
A at all times. Give me the ball on the post,
share the ball at the top, give me the screen
and roll. I don't think he's going to have all
those opportunities with Philly because it's just going to be
spread out. So yeah, I think analytics does him a
(11:31):
disservice because he's got sort of an old school game.
But can you win with him?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Literally? Have you literally have If.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
You're Lebron James and you're looking over the landscape, and
he is, and he will take his time now because
he has the entire stage to himself, Philadelphia becomes a
bit more attractive.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
It does, I mean, is he?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It does if you're willing, if you're wanting to win
a championship and you're willing to play for the league
minimum being the fifth guy on that team, not that
Lebron would be the fifth guy.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
That's got to be attractive to him.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
My think about it, Thursday, Oh well, oh really really? Yeah?
Has has Philadelphia quietly become the team that makes me
ruin it?
Speaker 4 (12:06):
I can take over that.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I think he was good? Well, I didn't know that.
I'm sorry, Taylor. Taylor is a nick fan.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Though the Sixers make you more nervous than the Celtics
at this point, don't they?
Speaker 5 (12:18):
As a neutral right now? I would be rooting for
Lebron to go to Philadelphia one because it makes the
most sense in terms of going to a team that
Lebron could be the thing that puts them over to
the top and become a title contender. But also is
isy that black retro seventy six ers jersey so nice
would be the number one selling jersey with with twenty
(12:39):
three James on the back.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
But here, here's here's my issue with Lebron and Philly. Okay,
how many years have we seen Joel Embiid not end
the playoffs either not in it at all healthy or
not end it, you know, playing well because he's injured
pretty much every single one right except for maybe nineteen
if even if you have a lineup of bj Edgecombe, Tyres, Maxi,
(13:03):
Jalen Brown, Lebron James, and Joel Embiid, that entire team's
success is dependent on the health of Joel Embiid, because yeah, Maxi, Edgecombe,
jb and Lebron. Nice team not going to be a
favorite to run through the playoffs in next year's NBA,
which is absolutely loaded. So I think, yeah, the health
of Embiid. Embiid's history still has people hesitant. I think
(13:25):
Lebron is not by any chance taking his last year
potentially his last year and making it dependent on that
dude's health and then dependent on Embiid and Jaylen Brown
getting along Like he's already been there with brand new teams.
He knows it's hard to get that chemistry that doesn't
feel like they're right fit for me.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
They're calling hawk Porty. The Embiid insurance is that what
they're calling them.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Put it on the pole.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
I will tell you this, If I'm Lebron and I
choose Philadelphia, I get together with Jalen Brown and Edgecombe
and Maxie, and I tell Joel Embiid, Hey, you're good
for the entire regular season. Just rest up for the postseason.
We've got the regular season covered. You be healthy for
the postseason. That's when we need you and Stu.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Adding to that, Stephen Gansey, the brother of seventy six
Ers GM, posted on Twitter a photo of his brother,
the GM, Mike Gansey, and Lebron James together in high
school and just tweeted it with the eyes open emotion.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
That's what's really gonna get Lebron nostalgic. Oh, I went
to high school with this guy. Let me go play
for the Sixers.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
So they didn't even go to high school together. They
were just in a photo shoot together.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
That's all that matters.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yes, that's all he needs, and you would agree this
GM has already done more than Darryl Mory.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
I mean, I will say though, getting Lebron on that
team will fix the graphic that people have been running
ever since the Jalen Brown trade because that one has
the starters as embiid Maxi Edgecombe Brown, and Dean Wade.
Let's replace Stean Wade.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Lebron Dean Wade. Any right, Lebron going to play with
the d Wade.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Reunited.

Speaker 5 (15:39):
States.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Wow, what a goal.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I mean, I'm wrapped up in the soccer like everyone else.
But the play of the day should have been the
Sixers GM getting Jaubert from the Celtics.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
I ain't know, I mean yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
They they were reportedly trying to get rid of Paul
George anyway and shop him and they would have to
give up a pick to just to get rid of him.
And instead you just give up one more pick and
get back Jalen Brown.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
What a win? Yeah, Stu.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Maybe my favorite reporting during this was Tom habit Strow's
reporting where he said the Celtics are banking on Peyton
Pritchard making a Jalen Brunson type.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Leap what I'm sorry read that again? Please?
Speaker 5 (16:19):
What the Celtics are banking on Peyton Pritchard making a
Jalen Brunson type. Per Tom Haberstrow, the exact quote is
the Celtics trading Jalen Brown is a bet that Peyton
Pritchard is their in house version of New York Knicks
gard Jalen Brunson, a diminutive player who didn't fully show
his talents until Luca was out of the picture. So,
(16:41):
Peyton Pritchard, good luck.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Being Jalen Brunson. Yes, I thought this was all about
Yugo Gonzalez. I mean, change your life. Good luck selling
that to your fan base. Hey, we did this trade
because we believe Peyton Pritchard is going to be the
next Jalen Brunson.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
I mean, look, nobody believed that Jalen Brunston was going
to be the next Jalen Brunson. So I can't say
I did. I can't say that.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
You know, it's impossible right, but.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
What what what's going on in Boston?
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Maybe they do have terrible uh you know, basketball ops
people with terrible assessments, because what I mean this isn't
even a knock on Peyton Pritchard. He is a nice player.
You averaged seventeen points a game, which I never thought
he'd be able to do. But did we see what
Jalen Brunston just did.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Yeah, go ahead, Uh, this is per Sham's too. The
Celtics originally asked the Sixers for five first round picks VJ.
Edgecumbe and Paul George. Oh my god, boy did they
come off that price.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
I mean, that's time to go to work. You got
to aim for the sky. But good lord, the Sixers countered,
and the Celtics were like, Okay, we'll take that.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Aim for the sky, but don't settle for the seal.
He don't settle for the floor.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
Geez.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
When I went into negotiations with Fox Sports Radio and
Steve Gotts, my original demand was five million dollars.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
So glad you landed on just the one. Hey have
you guys seen this new proposed well it's not really
a proposed rule.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
The NBA is gonna use it.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
I believe in summer league, maybe even some G league
where it's the one free throw rule, where effectively it
doesn't matter what shot you attempt, a two or three,
you will take one free throw and it will count
for two points if you shot at two, or three
points if you were fouled shooting a three, And then
in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter and
then overtime if there is any the rules go back
to normal where you have to make all the free throws.
(18:42):
So during pressure time, right during pressure time, you make more.
You have to take more free throws. To me, I
don't like I really don't like this, but it's just
because it messes what I'm with, what I'm familiar with,
right because like, I don't really want to watch Steph
Curry make two free throws. I'm pretty sure he's gonna
make them both every single time, but the time that
he missed is one, and then it's like a one
point game down the stretch. I want to be able
(19:04):
to say, damn, if Steph Curry would have made that
free throw instead, it's one free throw could cost you
three points. I think that's a little too little, too
like penalizing.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
What would be the reason to do that just speeding
up the game.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
It feels like it's speeding up the game. Nobody wants
to see free throws. And maybe maybe could try to
get people to foul to defend without fouling.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I'd be good with just giving Steph the two and
moving it on, you know, like, hey, let's keep playing Steph.
Those are good, Let's move it on. Yeah, speaking of
moving on, I don't like that rule at all. I
am excited here. By the way, Taylor Twelveman going to
join us at about a half hour, ice Cube gonna
join us at hour number two as well.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Wimbleton is going on.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I have to say it like that, Patrick McEnroe, do
you find yourself saying Wimbleton as a guy from Long
Island and.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
Absolutely never I'm I'm glad you got that right.
Speaker 7 (19:52):
I had to correct Anderson Cooper once on CNN because
in the commercial he said Wimbleton, and I said, Anderson, listen,
I'm not going to tell you your business anything, but
I want you to get.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
This right, okay, And He's like, I'm not a big
sports fan.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
I get it, but I know you are s two guys.
I know You're a big golfer and a big mad
dog guy. I love listening to you with the mad Dog.
This year your picks were horrendous, but I love listening
to you every week with Dog.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
Loved it.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Patrick, I was like, fourteen games above five hundred.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
I mean that's pretty good. I can give it. I
give you your props on that.
Speaker 7 (20:25):
I just love the Dog getting on you about your
golf and are you gonna.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
Watch this game? How could you not watch this? You
know he gives it.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
He gives me the same shit, like, how come you
can you're not watching this game?
Speaker 6 (20:37):
Well you're not a sports fan. Oh yes I am,
but I'm not insane like you.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
The Championships Wimble Dunn continues through July twelfth, with daily
live coverage on ESPN, ESPN deportees at streaming live on
the ESPN app. Patrick, do you find, like, listen, any
other year, this would be the center of everyone's attention
in London in England? Do you find like maybe they're
(21:02):
kind of a little bit focused on Harry Kane and
the World Cup and not as much on the tennis
that's being played right now.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
Well, I got to tell you, the crowds of Wimbledon
have been unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
But I hear you because I was watching. I was
riveted to the England.
Speaker 7 (21:16):
Game because actually, yesterday, guys, yesterday it was my sixtieth birthday.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Wow, happy birthday.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
Yeah yeah, but I appreciate that.
Speaker 7 (21:23):
So ESPN was nice enough to let me, you know,
work eleven to four, leave a little bit early because
my wife came over, two of my three daughters, so
she put a nice dinner together for me. But we
were going to this restaurant in Chelsea where I stay about,
you know, halfway between London and Wimbledon is.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
Where I stay.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
And we found this nice, little local place, so they
hooked us up.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
They took care of us.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
But I said, if England lose it, it's just gonna
be everyone's gonna be so bummed.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
So I was.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
Watching the game, and you know, obviously they scored. Harry
Kane scored the two late goals.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
And everybody was like, so oh, everybody's in a great mood.
I'm like, yeah, thank god they won because if they lost,
this would have been a nightmare tonight.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
And then I watched a Belgium Senegal game, which is incredible.
I'm big too, I'm glad you have Taylor coming up
in the next half hour because I love the World Cup.
I'm you know, I'm someone that's traveled the world playing
tennis for my whole life, so coming to Europe as
often as I have, you know, soccer is obviously the
king over here.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
And I'm not going to say I followed the Premier.
Speaker 7 (22:21):
League or La Liga, you know, religiously like I do
the NFL to the NBA.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
There's almost a goal for Spain. I'm watching Spain Austria.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
I love it.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
But I love the World Cup and I love what
Team USA is doing because they actually look like they
actually know how to play football or soccer as we
call it. Yes, they're organized, right, well, they're organized and
they have some skill player right. I can actually you know,
control the ball, make passes. Look like they're like a
(22:51):
real European type South American club.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
So I'm loving it.
Speaker 7 (22:55):
Belgium is going to be I said it to beginning
to this tournament World Cup. I know we're supposed to
be talking well, but I'm supposed.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
To be promoted. We'll get there, We'll get we'll get
to that.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
But I love what the team US say is doing.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
And I said, I felt as a fan of US
soccer that they have to at least get to the
quarterfinals to make this successful. So I think that this
game coming up.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
I don't know what the odds say. If we're the
favorite of this, I would say Belgium is probably the
slight favorite.
Speaker 7 (23:22):
But the way the US is playing has been very
impressive throughout the tournament.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Yeah, it's like Patrick, It's basically, you know, over the years,
there's always been one, maybe two players you would watch,
right like oh, Landon Donovan or oh Brian McBride or
oh Clint Dempsey. But now you watch all these guys
and it's just like it feels like they have all
the elements. They have multiple guys who are not just
fast athletic, but can handle the ball well and just
see and then they got the one touch passing stuff
(23:46):
where it feels like the chemistry is all there. We've
never seen it from the US before. It always feels
like the perfect time, it's a home World Cup for
them to sort of unveil this style, right.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
Yeah, no, it's it's it's it's amazing because.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
They actually look like they know where they're doing and
you know, in the past, we would be kind of
rough and tumble. We played tough defense, yeah, but we
didn't have really the skilled players in the middle of
the field and then up front. So we got we
have a nice mix of all players that can actually
play at all parts of the field.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
So I'm loving it. All right. We did enough soccer
because I'm a huge but.
Speaker 7 (24:17):
Let's get into Wimbledon, because I think this has been
an interesting first few days.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
I mean, the Serena thing was big early.
Speaker 7 (24:24):
I thought she played actually pretty damn well that in
that match on center court, actually sat there, believe it
or not.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
Guys, I got my first invite ever to.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
The Royal Box.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
Okay, wow, which I don't know how that happened.
Speaker 7 (24:38):
Maybe because I'm buddies with Tim Henman and he's a
big sort of committee guy at the club, and we
were talking at the French Open and we were just
riffing on stuff and he said, we were talking about
the Royal.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Box and I said, you know, I've never been there.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
I've never been in the Royal Box. So next thing
I know, like a week later, after the French Open ended,
I get it. He goes, oh, check your email, you
got an invite so I was there. But anyway, I
was there for the first match Fiantech, her first match.
Then I went down and called the match with my
brother for ESPN, and ESPN was cool.
Speaker 6 (25:06):
They said go, you know, go to the Royal Box, and.
Speaker 7 (25:08):
Then I went back to watch Serena because I'm like,
I'm gonna go check this out. And Serena, I thought,
was actually hit.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
The ball pretty well. The serve was very good, I thought. Now,
the movement obviously was not great, and she's forty four.
The movement wasn't.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
Great by the way when she retired four years ago,
and that was to be expected.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
But I thought she hit the ball extremely well.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
And you know, the fact that she was able to
go out there and play at a pretty high level
in her first match in four years and singles was
pretty darn impressive. But I don't really know why she
came back other than she she just wanted to maybe
test herself, have her kid see her play. I mean,
she's the greatest of all time as far as I'm
concerned on the women's side, But to see her do
(25:56):
that and come back and play at a pretty high
level I thought was pretty dark.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Do you think we'll see more.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
I think we will.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
I think she'll probably try to play some this summer
in a in a tournament or two, and then try
to play in New York at the US Open.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
And I don't think she's coming.
Speaker 7 (26:12):
Back just to do like a one off, right, you know,
obviously there's some issue apparently.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
With the knee once she uh you know.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
Didn't come to the press, which I thought was a mistake.
She should have come to the press, even if she
nicked up her knee a little bit. You know, you're
going out there, you're Serena Williams, are creating a lot
of buzz, but you mean.
Speaker 6 (26:30):
Come to the press conference, you know, talk to the press.
I thought that was not a great move out of her.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
But I hope she's gonna play the doubles. I haven't
heard officially. I think I heard just such. The plan
is for her and Venus to play.
Speaker 6 (26:44):
But I haven't heard that officially yet. But I do
think she'll try to play again this summer.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Yes, Patrick, if the only reason she came back was
so her daughter could see how beloved she is, how
great she once was, how great she still is, that's
a pretty damn good reason it Because I found myself,
hitting emotional and having goosebumps during that, you know, yeah
yeah yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
By the way, Spain just scored so one nil.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
You're trying to get me to do tennis.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
Yeah yeah, no, no, no, no no. I think that's a
great reason to come back.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
And you know, she's done everything there is to do
right as a tennis player. Yes, so more power to
her to come back and play and to play a
very competitive match.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
I mean, I don't care who you are.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
Okay to come out there after not having played the
match for four years and walk out on center court
at Wimbledon, okay and play. You know, most players are
going to go and play a couple of tune up tournaments.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
Let me see how I feel, Let me see how
I do. Do I get the rust off?
Speaker 7 (27:41):
I mean, she played two doubles matches, So that shows
you the heart that she has and what a champion's
that she could go out there and play a darn
good match against a player who.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
You know wasn't even born when Serena was winning her
first major. So I think it was awesome. I do
you think that on the women's side.
Speaker 7 (28:02):
You know, you've got quite a few American women with
a shot to do well.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
Madison keys I did her match today.
Speaker 7 (28:08):
Jess Pagoula, Amanda av I did her match also today.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
She got to the final last year.
Speaker 7 (28:15):
Men, you got Taylor Fritz, you got Francis Tiafu, who
I just finished watching. So we got a lot of
stories on the men's side from an American standpoint that
could possibly make some noise. But the bottom line is
a favorite of the men's side is still Yanick Sinner,
the number one seeds defending champ Alcarez is out of course.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
As we all know. So that kind of opens the.
Speaker 7 (28:35):
Door for a few other players to think, you know,
maybe I could get to the final this semi final,
like a Fritz, like a Tiafo. But if something happens
to Sinner, like what happened in Paris where the heat
got to him, who knows. So I think it makes
for a little more intrigue about who's going to actually
be holding up the trophy at the end of this
(28:58):
wimble done.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
For well done.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
If I tell you someone other than Sinner is going
to win Wimbledon, you would tell me who Who's it
gonna be?
Speaker 7 (29:07):
Well, Djokovic looked amazing last night against Citzepez.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
I mean straight set win for him.
Speaker 7 (29:12):
So he's in the same half of the draw as Sinner,
So they're due to me if it happens in the semifinals.
So he's the second favorite at the moment. But the
bottom half of the draw, you've got Alexander Zurerev, who
just won his first major. He looked good today, He's
never been a great grass court player. You've got, you know,
guys like min Chic and that half of the draw,
(29:32):
you've got who made the semis of the French. As
I said, you've got Taylor Fritz, Francis Tafo, Tiafle It's
got to play.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
A Bublik next.
Speaker 7 (29:39):
So there's there's a bunch of guys in that half
of the draw that are looking at this, guys as
this is an unbelievable opportunity, you know, to make a
major final.
Speaker 6 (29:49):
For Taylor Fritz, he's been in a US Open final,
he's been in the Wimbledon semi.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
You could certainly make the argument that he tiafo Or,
you know, maybe the two the best grass court plays
you got Demonor or the Australian and there so all
these guys are thinking to themselves, this is my chance.
But if Center's playing at the top of his game, right,
he's a huge favorite.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 7 (30:12):
In the first two matches thus far, he has not
been at the top of his game.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
He's looked a little rusty.
Speaker 7 (30:17):
He's making more mistakes, so that I think gives hope
for the other players.
Speaker 6 (30:21):
In the locker room.
Speaker 7 (30:22):
That wait a second, even if I'm in the section
of the draw with Center, maybe I've got a shot
because he doesn't look as dominant. It's early only to
the first two rounds for him, as he did last
year at this same juncture of the tournament.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
Patrick Wimbledon is a bucket list sporting event for so
many fans. If someone is going for the first time,
what would be your best advice for getting the most
out of the experience?
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Question?
Speaker 6 (30:44):
Uh, get a.
Speaker 7 (30:45):
Ticket, you know, get a ticket to Center. Actually, one
of my best buddies was here and I used to
be able to get tickets like for these events, for
the us O Open, like no problem. Now it's like
impossible really to get tickets for Center Corp for court one.
So I said, you get what you call it grounds, okay, which.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
Means you can go in, get in and go all.
Speaker 7 (31:03):
The outer court. It's so crowded now, guys at all
the majors. I mean, I know you're talking about the
World Cup and we're like, hey, is tennis getting a
lot of attention in the media at whatever. When you
go on the grounds at Wimbledon, you can't move basically,
same with the Australian this year. Same at the French Open.
It'll be the same at the US Open. So these
(31:24):
events are like bigger than they've ever been from a
spectator standpoint. So what I would tell someone is do
whatever you can do to try to get a center
court ticket. Get there early because the center court matches
you begin normally at one thirty pm.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
The outer court start at eleven am. And I was
out there.
Speaker 7 (31:42):
I had to scramble to get a ground spass for
my daughter yesterday, one of my daughters. So I go out,
I'd give her the ticket and the lines are like
unbelievable just to get in right. They don't open the
gates literally at ten am. Precisely, this is what you
love about Wimbledon, the tradition, the attention to detail.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
Ten am, those beautiful gates open and I sell them. Okay,
now we can go in.
Speaker 7 (32:07):
You know, I got my credentials, so I can go
in like the line for people that have credentials. But
I would tell someone if look, this is what I'll say.
My favorite tournament now to go to and attendant is
a tennis versus the Australian Open. But if you're a
tennis fan and you have the chance to go to
one day at one tournament, I would say, go to
(32:27):
Wimbledon because Wimbledon is unique. It's like the Masters of tennis,
the Masters in the golf tournament obviously for tennis, and
the tradition. You know, the history, the beauty, all that,
the beautiful grass courts.
Speaker 6 (32:41):
But if you go get there early, get there.
Speaker 7 (32:43):
At nine am, if you have a ticket, and get
in and walk the ground, see the outer court. Wimbledon's
still one of the few places in tennis well you
can actually stand by the court and watch a match,
sit on a bench.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
They have these old wooden benches. You literally can sit there.
Speaker 7 (33:00):
Now, you got to get there early to get to
get those. Do you guys realize you guys may not know.
I'm sure you don't know this. Back in the day,
a part of Center Court was standing room only. Okay,
So you literally there's a whole section of like a
few hundred seats where if you had just a pass
to get in.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
You would people would wait all night.
Speaker 7 (33:21):
They'd wait in line, and then it would sprint when
the gates opened to get into center court to get
standing room tickets.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
And then of course it's the soccer games.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Over the years, they know.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
Had issues people getting trampled and so on, so they change.
Speaker 6 (33:34):
The laws in England.
Speaker 7 (33:35):
This is like thirty forty years ago, but I remember
back in the day when my brother was playing, for example,
against Borg, they were like people standing there and they
would wait all night to get there.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
So it's Wimbledon still.
Speaker 7 (33:46):
That's a combination of the traditions of what's made in
great but also adapting to the modern age with electronic
line calling, with the beautiful scoreboards you know, et cetera,
et cetera. But they still have that amazing mix. I
think I've never been to the Masters, but that's what
I've heard. They are able to do it with the
Masters as well.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
On the way out here, quickly, what did your brother
get you for your sixtieth birthday?
Speaker 7 (34:09):
You know he actually showed up because he was calling
this is a This is an epic Johnny Mack. Okay,
he was calling the sits a Pass Djokovic match, which
went late because it went into the night, so it
was like ten ten thirty. My party started like seven thirty,
and you know, we had.
Speaker 6 (34:26):
Dinner at eight thirty.
Speaker 7 (34:27):
And Johnny Mack he was doing it with Mike Monico
and Andy Roddick.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
He's been an amazing addition to our team this year.
Speaker 7 (34:34):
And when Djokovic broke for the second time in the
third set, so he was up two sets to love,
only Johnny mackuld.
Speaker 6 (34:42):
Say, guys, I'm out of here. I'm leaving.
Speaker 7 (34:45):
This is the match wasn't over yet to go to
my brother's party, okay, because I got to be there
for my bro.
Speaker 6 (34:51):
It's his sixtieth birthday. Yes, and everybody was.
Speaker 7 (34:53):
Everybody was talking about today. When I came into the
green room, They're like, hey, did you hear.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
What Johnny Mack. I said, yeah, of course I heard.
Speaker 7 (34:58):
He came and showed up and bornedham some of pasta
penne bowlonaise, and he was happy as a clam and shit,
and I gave him a glass of wine and we
were loving life. But that Only Johnny Mack can pull
that kind of stuff off and still come back the
next day.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
And say, Hey, john he's our guy. Yeah, he's the man,
but he's my guy.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
He's my big broye.
Speaker 6 (35:17):
And so he didn't. All he had to do was
be there. I got lots of presidents here from all.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
My gift was showing up.
Speaker 6 (35:23):
Yeah, he showed up.
Speaker 7 (35:24):
And I was happy, and he wrote me an awesome
text and I love him and I love work. In fact,
tomorrow we're doing the Djokovic match on center court together,
so there's another birthday present for me.
Speaker 6 (35:35):
They just keep coming, guys.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Yes, it's incredible. He's earned the right to do that.
We love having you here. Hopefully we can have you
all more often. The Championships Wimble Dunne continues through July twelfth,
with daily live coverage on ESPN, ESPN Deportees and streaming
live on the ESPN app.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Patrick, thank you for doing this. We appreciate it, ma
and enjoyed the soccer, enjoy the tennis man.
Speaker 6 (35:56):
Stu Gott.
Speaker 7 (35:57):
There's only one thing I want in return. You and
me play eight team down there in Florida. When I
come down there. Name the day done.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
I am in.
Speaker 6 (36:04):
I love it. You guys are great. Appreciate it. You
guys having me, Thanks very much.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
We'll bring mad Dog with us. Absolutely all right, thank you, Patrick. Yes,
we are done. I will bet your number. We'll make
that happen. I can't wait. Appreciate you. We'll take a
quick time out and we'll we have to think about
it on a Thursday. We'll do so next.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
STU got some company national radio show brought to you
by fan Duel, America's number one sportsbook.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
It is a think about it Thursday.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Here Taylor twelve minu is going to join us in
about ten minutes. Ice Cube going to join us at
around four twenty five. Taylor twelve minut ice Cube at
Patrick McEnroe, what a collection of guess that is? Huh,
let's think about it?
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Is he? What are we thinking about today at the imaging.
Speaker 6 (36:46):
You know that segment?
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Talk about it Tuesday on Hawkman Crowder in Soleiro this
is like that but bigger, bigger and better better, And
forty eight hours later, this is than cut it.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
Thursday.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
We got about full sixty seconds to think about this,
all right, America, I know too much. We're heading into
Independence Day okay, and please let's just call it Independence
Day because it is not America's birthday.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
This drives me crazy.
Speaker 4 (37:15):
Just because you declared independence on July fourth, seventeen seventy
six does not me and you became independent that happened
in September third, seventeen eighty three, after they signed the
Treaty of Paris. This is effectively saying somebody's birthday is
when their parents started trying to have a baby. Okay,
because it could have been in somewhere in between seventeen
seventy six and seventeen eighty three. There were a couple
(37:36):
dicey situations where we might not have even won that
revolutionary war.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
But because we claimed it.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
On the July fourth, seventeen seventy six, we celebrate that
as our independence.
Speaker 3 (37:46):

next Bob Coosey in Boston.

better than.
Speaker 5 (39:52):
Bob, better than h Eighty six percent of the audience said, yes,
he better be Bob Coozy or better.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
Got a pressure on that.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
There really is an unreasonable amount of pressure on the savior.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
You go get Zales, You think Celtics fans are going
to be really nice to a guy named Hugo.
Speaker 5 (40:12):
Should Jalen Brunson make it all about him the next
time Timothy Shallowmey wins an award?
Speaker 4 (40:17):
Yep, Wow, that's a great question.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
Yes, that's a great question. It's like two weeks ago.

Speaker 5 (40:27):
Ninety four percent of the audience said, yes, he.
Speaker 3 (40:29):

not your championship.
Speaker 5 (40:33):
Buddy's a big one for his he here. Did the
Bucks just get a bunch of stuff for you?
Speaker 3 (40:39):
Honestly, they did a bunch of stuff. I mean, here's
a bag of stuff.

Speaker 5 (40:54):
Eighty six percent of the audience said, yes, they just
got a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 4 (40:58):
And by the way, I'm so thankful because I said
it on this radio show. Get heimi Hockkes Junior off
my team, and I was nervous that he was going
to still be on my team.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
Right all right, Well he was part of the bag
of stuff.
Speaker 5 (41:10):
He was, Yes, it was in a twenty eighteen NBA redraft.
Is DeAndre Eaton just a second round flyer undrafted?
Speaker 3 (41:19):
Maybe what a draft that was?
Speaker 1 (41:21):
He was the number one pick in that draft? Is
he started to do a redraft? Who was number one
in your redraft? Do you remember? I think it was
Shay right, Brudzon was two or three or something like that.

cake overrated?

Speaker 5 (41:56):
Fifty five percent of the audience said no, not over rated.
Speaker 6 (42:00):
Man.
Speaker 4 (42:01):
I think those people don't get enough cookies in their life,
because if the only cookies you get is the cookie cake,
then you're just like, wow, this is amazing. But if
you have actual cookies and you have actual cake, but
you settle for cookie cake, not the same.
Speaker 3 (42:13):
We're talking about that giant cookie with frosting.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
On it, right, yeah, the chocolate chip cookies yet, right
that you cut little slices. Of course it's not. It's delightful.
How are we divided on this?
Speaker 3 (42:25):
I mean, to America, I don't know. He doesn't like
a cookie cake?
Speaker 5 (42:29):
Is saying a team will want to play well the
worst gambling advice ever.
Speaker 3 (42:33):
So that was.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
Gambling advice that uh bored Ricardo gave me. And thankfully
we're done with his fifty shows better than breaking bed.
But that was advice he gave me. I took his
advice and I lost. It's the only.
Speaker 3 (42:46):
World Cup bet that I've lost, and it was for
the Germans.
Speaker 5 (42:48):
The Germans will want to play well. The Germans lost
to parents.
Speaker 4 (42:52):
They're gonna want to play well because they have a
tough next opponent.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
They forgot the play well for this opponent.
Speaker 5 (43:00):
Under the audience said yes, big one for me.
Speaker 3 (43:03):

of the week.

thirty five team in baseball history?
Speaker 6 (43:13):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (43:13):
This came back in your favor.
Speaker 1 (43:15):

which is strange.

is right.
