Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio. The Lakers and Blazers currently tied at thirty
nine and thirty. If the Lakers can get to six,
guess who they play in the opening round as of
right now, the Clippers. That could be spicy. I don't
(00:21):
think you want that if you're the Lakers, but I
don't think you have any choice right now. If you're
the NBA, as long as you feel like you can
still get the Lakers in the nets, then you would
probably sacrifice that matchup of Lakers Clippers in the opening round.
By the way, here are the number of regular season
games the following NBA players have played in the last
(00:44):
two seasons. Lebron has played in one hundred and ten
out of one hundred and forty games. Anthony Davis has
played ninety six out of one forty. Kevin Durant has
played thirty two out of one forty one, Kyrie seventy
two out of one forty one. James Harden has played
(01:06):
one ten out of one thirty seven. That's what makes
me wonder can they stay healthy for a month? They've
you know, all these players have been bothered by some
sort of injury, some serious, some just nagging injuries. What
makes you think that Durant, Kyrie and Harden can stay
(01:28):
healthy for a month. Lebron with that ankle can stay
healthy for a month. Anthony Davis, same thing, Yeah, seedon
something feels like most of those dudes, not all of them,
but most of them are going to be shockingly healthy
for the playoffs. Well, I think I think they will.
(01:50):
But look, all Lebron has to do is roll that
ankle again, tweak it just a little bit, and then
he's gone for a while. Yep. The hamstring is the
same way. I look at the injuries here. Kyrie he
has personal days when he checks out. Durant seems okay
when he's out there. Anthony Davis, it feels like he
has nagging injuries. Those are the kind that don't leave
(02:12):
you whereas you go, hey, I'm completely healed from knee surgery.
You almost get accustomed to. That's how I have to play.
Lebron is going to have to manage a sprained ankle.
I don't think it goes away completely. I don't think
he's one hundred percent. I don't think James Harden's going
to be one percent with the hamstring, but yeah, it
feels like, hey, there's no reason to be rushing back.
(02:35):
I'm going to be ready for the playoffs. Well, the
dangerous part of that is the cohesion that you build
up in that last two weeks, last three weeks of
the regular season. So when you hit the playoffs, you
hit the ground running. And you'll see this sometimes in
different sports where a team that's already clinched and they're
not playing meaningful games the last two weeks, they get
(02:56):
to that first round and they get knocked off because
that team that's scratching and clawing. You know, Golden State
is a dangerous out. I think the Washington Wizards, believe
it or not, are a dangerous out because every game
is important to them. Nobody wants to face the heat.
We we know how good they can be. That's a
(03:19):
fifth seed team right now. Yeah. Pull And in the East,
if the Brooklyn Nets could lose a couple more in
a row, they could face the Knicks in round one.
That would be fantastic first rouft. Yeah, and the East
needs all the help I can get. Yeah, I like that.
The poll question has to do with the Lakers and
the Nets. I'm going to give you Lakers, nets or
everybody else to win the championship. McLevin update the result
(03:42):
the field, Okay, I am surprised. If you would have
said it was eighty two percent saying Lakers or the nets,
I would have believed that. Gotta be the injuries. Yeah,
I just don't know the severity of those injuries. Um.
We talked about Medina's Spirit the horse, the Kentucky Derby
winner Ish right now is going to be racing in
(04:05):
the Preakness, and there's going to be a drug test
that's taken or a blood test that's taken prior to
the Preakness, unlike the Derby waited till after the Derby
and taking their drug test eight seven seven three d
P Show email address DP at Dan Patrick dot com
Twitter handle at DP show. Talked a little bit about
Tim Tebow with Jacksonville. He's such a polarizing athlete, Like
(04:26):
they're athletes who are polarizing, but Lebron's polarizing because people
don't want to let him in the conversation with Michael
Jordan's greatest player of all time? Or he had to
go to other teams and he had to recruit players
and Okay, Floyd Mayweather polarizing for a variety of reasons,
(04:46):
Like there's certain athletes that are polarizing, but they're still
great at what they do. Tim Tebow's polarizing because he's
not great at what he does, not in baseball and
probably not playing TI Then at age thirty three, here's
Urban Meyer, the Jags head coach, on the Chris Collinswood podcast,
on the possibility of signing Tim Tebow. Yeah, we have
(05:09):
not signed him. There's a thought going around. You know,
he was in the best shape of his life. Asked
to see if he can work out with a couple
of our coaches. I wasn't even there, and they came
back to me and said, wow, this guy's in an
incredible shape. And I said, then I went another time
and watched him, try him out and they said, go
work on these things. He comes back later, they try
(05:31):
him out again. I'm not there and they come in
and they said, wow, you know this guy's ball skills.
He's a great athlete. He looks like he's eighteen years old,
not twenty whatever. He is thirty three. And I said, guys,
you don't understand now this guy is you know, he's
the most competitive maniac you ever gonna talk to, and
let's give it a shot. And I have not decided
if we're gonna do that or not yet. I'm getting close.
(05:53):
I got to make a decision there pretty soon, all right.
So if he makes the ninety man roster, here's a
gimmicky Yeah, it sounds like that. Jacksonville's his hometown, he's
good friends, he's a neighbor of Urban Myers. But but
this is a third string tight end. It's not quarterback.
(06:13):
But man, people get angry with Tim Tebow getting an
opportunity and taking a roster spot. This sounds like something
you would do if you're a college coach, where you'd go, Hey,
a friend of mine and his son. Now I'm gonna
let him make the team. He'll get the dress for
home games. Won't play, but he gets the dress for
(06:37):
the home games. Okay? Is that what they're doing with
Tim Tebow? Is he going to play? Is he going
to dress for home games? There have been multiple reports
that he's signed a one year deal. Here's Urban Meyer saying, no,
shouldn't Urban be there for one of the workouts because
it feels like everybody has watched him tebow work out.
(07:00):
But Urban is Urban just gonna take the advice of
his coaches. And there's reports that not everybody's sold on this.
Some of the coach this is not how you want
to start. You want to the fewest distractions as possible. Now,
if it works out, it's a wonderful story. But hard
(07:21):
Knocks is gonna come in and they're gonna it's gonna
be be Tim tebow time for a different reason. It'll
be camera time, not playing time. And you know they'll
have the you know, the majestic voice there, Liev Schreiver.
They'll have the music in their slow motion with Tim running.
Maybe it's on slow motion, maybe it's just Tim running,
(07:42):
but tebow time, as time run out on tebow time,
have him catching passes. Trevor Lawrence. You an, I was
lucky to see if he could sneak in his emergency quarterback.
But the Jags have four quarterbacks. Trevor Lawrence, Gardner, Minshew CJ.
Bethard is there and Jake Lewton who played last year.
(08:04):
I didn't know, so how many do you carry? Two? Three?
So probably three, So he's not even need to have
a chance of sneaking over to the verage. Oh no, no, no, no, no,
he's not allowed to even go. He has to keep
walking past that room. But do you use him on
a trick play? If he is on the team to
try and then it's not a trick play, Like I
(08:25):
don't know. It's like when when Jameis Winston came in
for a play and you know, everybody immediately wondered, well
is this a trick play? He went at quarterback and
then he threw a touchdown pass. I'm like, how did
you not think that Jameis Winston was gonna be handling
football there and not a runner, you know, Polly. By
(08:46):
the way, you cannot give Tim Tebow number fifteen if
he comes back to the league. You have to give
him a number that suggests he's never ever going to
play him out of a quarterback, he should be like
one hundred and four should be his number. Put him
at a tight end number eighty six, whatever. He's not fifteen.
It suggests that he looks like a quarterbacks though that's
his number. Yeah, that's his number. Can't give him that's
(09:06):
his number, just saying that's his number. By the way.
Spirited conversation with Mike Florio last down. We were talking
about the schedule and a couple other things, and I
guess on the undercard to Floyd Mayweather and one of
the Paul brothers, and I guess it's Logan. Maybe you
could add Adam Schefter and Mike Florio. Florio says, tail
(09:27):
of the tape. I don't know who I'd have in
that situation there. Florio is sneaky strong, but I don't
know Adam Schefter, He's got a master's degree. I don't
know what he helps in a fight. Maybe nobody wants
a piece of Jay Glazer, I will say that, But yes, yeah,
(09:48):
if we got to do like power rank is tough
as NFL reporting cider. Yeah, like Clayton, no offense. No,
he scares you with the ponytail. But yeah, Johnny good
Times does not get into that. Jason King Flora, I've
seen him angry. I just haven't seen him be physical
when he's angry. Yes, Field Yates looks like he's well dressed.
(10:10):
He can help you with your sailboat if you're having
issues with your sailboat. I don't know if he's a fighter.
Yeah yeah. Ed Warder, on the other hand, Edwarder has
more by the way. That's what he says. After he
knocks you out. He's like, yeah, Warder has more. Yeah,
there's more where that came from. Oh, send it back
(10:32):
to you in the studio. Now, I got one. I
got one sal Pal Oh, no, tonio. He's a man
with a very specific set of skills. I would hunt
you down, I will find you, and I will kill you. Yes,
his notebooks have registered lethal weapon. Yes, salpoal sal poals
(10:53):
the outlier. Wasn't he a Navy's seal? I don't know
if he's a seal. I think he was. Okay, legend
grows sounds better. Yes, he was a Navy seal. Mel
Kiper not a fighter, not an insider though. Okay, But
if mel Kiper and Todd McShay fought, Oh, I'm gonna
(11:14):
go McShay really yeah, Yeah, because I think McShee goes
for the hair, and and then I think mel would
would have a problem because he'd want his hair to
look great. But I think that that's what's going to enrage.
That's like bringing out the Hulk. You know. I'd like
to see Glazier and sal Pound glaciers getting up there
(11:36):
a little bit, but that might be good have that
that would be more entertaining than watching Floyd Mayweather against
Logan Paul. And I still think he should be he
should fight both of the brothers. Yes, if he had
an NBA in Tiro, would Woa have a wrestling move
called a wog bomb where he comes jump off the
d What about Shams? Yeah, yeah, what Sham's got a
(12:01):
got back. And I don't know. I actually don't know
how tough he is. How about Chris Mannix, No, he's
definitely he's not a fighter. Chris Bruce. Oh, Chris Brussard
is not an insider anymore, Zach Low. I think we
could take him down, all right, Okay, I think we
could set up maybe like a March madness, a may
(12:22):
madness here with the insiders. Peter Schreger, nobody's ever wanted
to fight. He's too nice a guy. Oh, he's friend zone.
That guy's pure friends, his friend zone. He probably has
a ton of girl friends that are girl friends, friends
that are girls. Peter Schreger in the NFL network. Definitely
in the friend zone. He's not wowing him with his
mock draft Hahn. Hey, come on over, I'll reveal you
(12:45):
want to see my mock draft that's there, and we
like shregar. Oh yeah, if we like you, we we
make fun of yes, yes, yes, yes, Uh. Today's National
Limerick Day. And you know what that mean? Why you
(13:08):
sent me? You sent me because at Daniel Fatally on
Twitter reminded me that it's national Liric seat and I
got the heads up about two hours ago as National
Limerick Day. I put the entire building on lockdown to
not tell Todd's all noon, I say, I'm trying to
save America, okay, But after a while when he sends
me the same limerick three or four times, is that
(13:31):
a little passive aggressive? It's a little But Todd has
a limerick I have to say with an Australian accident,
just because then Ryan and Honolulu is gonna come in
with his own set with a haymaker here and then
like I I mentioned that rich Eisen has had some
(13:51):
really good guest on his show and that face that,
but am I not allowed to compliment? Say? This is
like when Aaron Rodgers he's called the GM like Jerry Krause,
and it was like, oh, well, now you're comparing yourself
to Michael Jordan that you kind of did the same
thing by giving Rich a compliment. You were taking a
shot at Todd at the same time. But I didn't
(14:11):
mention Rich's booker. Well, you didn't have to. You just
talked about the great guests they're getting. That's clearly a
shot at Todd. Nobody took that as a compliment for Rich,
that was only a shot at Todd. There was an
instant reaction on the other side of what. I truly
meant that in a sincere way that Rich Eisen has
(14:33):
had a couple of newsmakers on. That's it. I'll take
in your word for that. I wasn't. That wasn't my
reaction right away. But then what's the fun? Rowers to
gated in and gave me a pause, and I'm like,
you know what, maybe that was a little but if
but if it hurts you a little bit, then I'm
okay with there you go. Yeah, two two birds with
one stone. I complimented Eisen, and I hurt you that.
(14:54):
Yes on behalf of America. Today is National Limerick Day.
Then Todd could do a limerick today, another one next year. Okay,
all right, here's Todd, Fritz. It's National Limerick Day. What's
the topic here. Um, this is a mix of Tim
Tebow and Medina spirit. I took the two of those
and I just threw together with limericks for natural limits.
(15:15):
All right, thank you a Gator reunion around the Bend
for urban Tebow playing tight end. Who cares? We still
have a weakness to talk about the preakness, Medina spirits
fungus Now on the men, okay, serviceable? Yeah, like I'm
plating down the house to anything. No, I was gonna
scream for more limericks please. I like your limericks better
(15:37):
than I do your sports names and your monk head.
What do you like less than those two things? Um, well,
I've had eye surgery, I've had a replacement knee. Yeah.
Those are probably extremely mean things to say, but but
(15:58):
I think you your your limitrics are good. Like I
think they're good. I appreciate that. I like writing them.
I like shagging them with you guys, even if I'm
going to take some level of abuse for it. But
I'm willing to do that. Rich Eisen had some limericks
yesterday and they were crazy. He's got great limericks and
coos and sonnets. I hear, yes, they do. Yeah, And
(16:19):
he knows what anamanapia means. He does un like myself.
You know, yes, mcle I mean the joke used to
be would compare him to the greatest book of all time,
Scott Shapiro, But like it's gotten to the point where
there's really no reason to compare it Todd, Like Scott's
elevated out of this argument, so like we need someone else.
In fact, you win the Scotch Shapiro Award for Booking, Yes,
and he booked for Mike and Mike in the Morning
(16:40):
on ESPN. Ever, forget, it's like comparing like a common
All Star of Michael Jordan's, so it doesn't count, like
Chris Middleton of the Bucks and then Michael Jordan right right,
Todd's Chris Middleton with Okay, yeah, all Star. That sounds
about right, get your game on, go play after the
drawing board for me. But the Scott Shapiro Award for Booking,
it's probably gonna go to Rich Eisen's booker. I should yeah, yes, yes,
(17:03):
to be fair to Todd, it's not you know, who
does he have on the on the schedule for the
next couple of days, Oh dear, no, I'm just being fair. No,
I really don't know. I can't do this to him.
Why are you laughing? I'm just asking because I have
to deal with him. So when the show ends, Paulie
and you leave you overall like no, no today today,
(17:24):
like you get in your land cruiser, and then I'm
sitting here with Todd going why why why? Why? Todd's
just firing off idea after idea, after you get thirty
seven of them today? What are we thinking about this? Yeah?
I got a guest. You know this is proposed to me.
What do you think about? Yes, I'm I feel like
a better of steak silent at this moment. I don't
(17:46):
have a good comeback for that, I thought, do I
mean it? Time's coming on tomorrow? Who's times? Very well
off the season announcement of the schedule. I think that's
a nice appropriate guest with tomorrow. Outside of that, Tod
no idea? What's God? It's okay. I'm fine everyting I'm trying.
I'm fine now, And like, wait till six o'clock today, Yeah, no,
(18:09):
wait till like seven thirty tomorrow morning. God, what are
you gone? Why are you so quiet? Yeah? Contribute something
for crying outright? Let me take a break. I'm gonna
talk some hoops with Channing Fry. Uh get his thoughts? Yeah? Great?
Get there, Ton, Yeah, Channing Fry, Turner sports NBAM. That's cool.
(18:30):
That's not cool. No, I like Channing Fry. Why is
it that I can never joke with you? Like I
can't have fun with you? Rumor has it I'm a
slightly sensitive at times. How many years have we been
working to? Nineteen? And they're on June second, will be nineteen?
I forgot I remember these things that matters to me.
It's like a block it out. I block it out,
(18:53):
but I can't for somebody who is a stand up
well has been a stand up comedian, I can That
was just another show you you don't even realize what's
coming down. Made an effort to try to be something
that you're not, but you gave it a standing. I
was standing of comedy place, but there was no comedy
(19:16):
coming out. Okay, are you as stand up comedian? I've
been told and I like to believe that, But like
if once you do it once and you're on stage
inside of comedy club and people have paid a couple
of drinks, ginger rails with it, if you're a fireman
and the building's out fire and your hose isn't hooked
up to the water. You're just standing there with a
thing in your hand. That's a valid point, but you
still hopefully look decent in your fires. How about we
take a break here, let's kind of regather here a

won an NBA title twenty sixteen with the Cavs over
Golden State and Channing kind enough to join us. All Right,
(20:42):
so we know the best team you played on. What's
the worst team you played on? Oh, that's a great question.
Maybe my rookie year the two thousand and five Nicks.
We had the highest salary in the NBA, and I
think we won twenty three games a year with Larry Brown,
was I mean a dumpster fire. It was hilarious. What's
(21:03):
it like showing up knowing you're gonna lose? Oh, it
wasn't that we were just gonna lose, because I've been
on teams that were just too young that we didn't
get it. But it was still fun. But it was
just like Larry. We had the most starting lineups in
the history of the NBA, and so you didn't know
if you were gonna start or not until forty minutes
on the clock. So he would tell the starting lineup
(21:26):
and the vets. I didn't get it at that time,
and now I probably do what they did. It's like
just blow up. They would literally he would write down
who's gonna start without telling anybody all day long. It was.
It was pretty amazing now that I'm retired and now
I'm not an NBA anymore. But you have these fan bases.
You had that with the Knicks, but you're also with
(21:46):
the Lakers prior to Lebron getting there. Yeah, those fan
bases when they turn on you like, oh it's not fun.
Not one was tougher though the Knicks are the Lakers. Oh,
the Knicks not even close. The next fan base is
the toughest. I was getting booed at an Applebee's. I'm like,
(22:08):
I'm just here for then endless ribblin basket. I'm getting
boot out, damn man. And I was heard the last
sixty yoo and crutches and then booing. Me and David Lee,
We're like, we're rookie, we don't control anything. It was
if you were going to explain Steph Curry to somebody
(22:31):
who had never seen him play, Oh man, I would say,
imagine a guy that could show up on any court
and probably not be picked first, but that will never
leave the court because he's gonna win every single game.
Like he's he's not big, he's not extremely fast, he's
(22:53):
not extremely athletic. But yet he's two number one or two,
depending on how you are, the most influential people person
in the NBA in the last ten twenty years. Oh,
probably even more than that. I think he's more influential
from the playing aspect than Jordan. Than Jordan, I mean Jordan,
(23:15):
you know that that shadow is a big shadow. But
Steph gave hope to anybody who steps on the basketball.
For one, was Steph had success, You said, oh, man,
I could shoot from if I could just Steph's greatest
superpower is a skill, right, Like Steph is like iron Man,
like he built himself, like you worked on that, and
he has his innatability and he like shooting is something
(23:40):
that everyone can do, yet he does it so well.
We're used to his audacious numbers that what he's doing
is so ridiculous, Like he's doing James Harden numbers without
James Harden's. I mean, people underst me how good of
a score James hardenness. He's doing James Harden numbers without
(24:02):
James Harden one on ones because he's coming off pin downs,
He's coming off screens like it's amazing this year and
I'm you know what, I'm just gonna sound wild. I'm
not glad that Clay got hurt, but I'm glad that
people get to see this Steph Curry. Yeah, I don't
know if we would ever have seen this Steph Curry.
(24:23):
And I was you know, I said something at the
beginning of the year that Warriors fans got mad. I said,
if he doesn't take this team to the he's accomplished everything,
and if he doesn't take this team to the playoffs,
just the playoffs, that would that would make me disappointed
because I know how good he is and he's far
exceeded that to now you got to put him top
(24:45):
fifteen all time as a players. Now you when you
get switched out on him? Did you ever get switched
out on him? Yeah? Oh yeah, Oh yeah. It's the
worst because the problem is he'll just the ball to
Draymond and then you have to chase him. And it's
not like he's gonna just James Harden you or he's
(25:06):
not gonna Kyrie you. He's like, oh you're my switch,
throw the ball to someone else. You don't. You can't
practice that. You can't practice verse going over these screens.
You can't stay on the body. He's too fast, he's
too he's too smart, and they set great screens, and
it's just like he's impossible to guard because he's okay
without the ball. In a minute you turn your head,
(25:27):
he's gone. Would you want to be a teammate of
Russell Westbrook's me as a shooter? Yes, oh yeah, Oh yeah,
well he doesn't. He might not throw it out to
you as often as you think you're gonna get it
there chanting. I mean, I definitely think that Russell Westbrook
(25:49):
has gotten a lot better at creating opportunities for other people,
especially on this Wizard team. I think his triple devils
do equate to winning. But I also feel like any
great player, you lean yourself towards their style of basketball.
Right It just you can't, like Steph can't go to
(26:10):
New York and be get fifty a game. Nobody's getting
fifty on New York even you know, Julius Randall is
having a great year, but I don't know what his
career high is this year, maybe thirty five. It's just
a system. So his system that works is fast paced. Uh,
you know you gotta scoring to one twenties, one thirties.
(26:30):
She's the second best point guard of all time. Who
is rush No, Well, Scotty Brooks said that he's maybe
Scott Brooks said that, Okay, I respect that, but now
we not stop it. That's so disrespectful to either magic
John Sair. Isaiah's magic is one, Isaiah's two magic is.
(26:52):
And now I had this conversation last night with one
of my old teammates. Magic is probably the last small
guard to win multiple championships, truly small guard. That was
your point guard, right, and I mean Isaiah, I said, Isaiah, Oh,
yeah you had magic? Because yeah, I say magic one,
Isaiah two. And then you know, depending on how you
(27:14):
view the point guard position, then maybe man, well it's
Steph Curry a point guard. I don't, I don't, I
don't think. To me, I think Draymond is their point guard.
To me, okay, is Russell? Would you rather have John
(27:35):
Stockton or Russell Westbrook? Oh just sucks and stop? Okay,
I played with Steve Nash. Would you rather have Nash
or Westbrook? Oh? I'm taking sorry Nash, but it just
that hurt that hurt me saying it. But Paulie, let's
(27:56):
bring in Steve Nash. Now, Steve, you just heard no,
I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do that too, you
all right, So Lakers Warriors look like their own a
collision course here in that playing tournament. I don't think
they're worried about it, the Lakers about that. I don't
think the Lakers are worried about it, and I don't
(28:16):
think the Warriors are worried about it because I don't
think the Grizzlies or the Spurs match up very well
versus Warriors. Right I think if we are just to
end the season right now, I think that's how it
would end. The Lakers will be seven. I think they
love that matchup versus Suns, especially with a healthy Lebron
and healthy schroder Um. And then I think the Warriors
(28:38):
are like, I think we have a chance for us Utah.
I think the Warriors stylistically are Utah's bamed in Utah's existence.
They switched screening roll and so there are three things.
And that's why I was talking about it on TV
the other day. If they are three things team could do,
you can play one on one. You can run your system,
or you could do screening roll right, and Utah's best
(29:00):
screening role in system team in NBA. So they passed,
they moved, they cut. All that happens because teams can't switch,
but the Warriors are the best switching team in NBA,
so they switch underneath. The last game you watched, Rudy
Gobert had ten points, but like his ten points were
just I'm just bigger than everybody ten points. He had
(29:20):
no impact on the game pretty much. Why do you
think Jordan Clarkson had to go one on one so much?
Jordan Clarkson shooting thirty three shots is exactly what the
Warriors want to do, right. But the problem is when
you add Mike Conley and you add Donovan Mitchell, now
you have more ball handlers, but neither one of those guys.
So you would have Donovan Mitchell and Jordan Clarkson really
(29:43):
are your one on one guys, and you would say,
I'll take my chances with Draymond Wiggins, Kelly Oubrey and
Jordan pool camp base more. With those chances. Now, I
think Utah would win that series. But I think Utah
or I think Golden State would give him a run
for their money. If I gave you the nets and
the Lakers are the rest of the field to win
(30:03):
the championship. Man, First of all, I can't better get
Braun in the playoffs. I think he's too Yeah, he's
gotta be healthy like in as huge But I'll tell
you this, Listen, if I've made as much money as
he was, I'm pretty sure he's pretty healthy. If I
know him, this dude gets twenty four hours around the
(30:26):
clock and this is not a joke, twenty four hour
around the clock care every time he has an injury.
So for him, they didn't have a long break. A
lot of guys are coming back and they're having soft
tissue injuries. So you've seen a lot of hamstring, You've
seen a lot of you know, this year has been
a weird year for them to be seventh. I don't
(30:48):
think the Lakers give a crap as much as everyone
makes this. Have you been to Lebron's towns me his
old house in Cleveland? Oh, she haven't been invited to
the al Ancred No, No, I haven't. It's been of it.
I haven't gone to La I'm gonna go to this house.
I'm gonna raid his one fridge pensive. I'm going right
to the fridge. What what was the mansion in? Was
(31:09):
it Akron? That? Yeah? Acron? What did it have in
that that I would be surprised to? I mean, have
you ever been to a Hilton? Looks like like, oh no, no, hey, listen,
where do I check in? They got a concierge there
for sure. Listen, we are in everybody in the NBA.
(31:31):
You should take care of yourself. You get a big house.
I have a big house in Portland, Oregon. My house
looks like a shock compared to his house. I said, damn,
I said, this was like to be a billionaire. What
in the okay, best best house you were ever in? Best? True?
Grant Hill easily whoa Grant Hill lives in Orlando, Florida.
(31:52):
He has like a twenty five thousand square foot house
and it is like, I think Obama stays there when
they go to stuff in Orlando. He says that io
worth the golf course. Yeah, he has like a tennis court.
You know, you got a tennis court. A pooh, he
got a wine room. He don't even be drinking wine
like that. You got expensive wines in there. I'm like,
(32:12):
you don't even drink wine. You got a couch in
his couch in his kitchen. Like, what who had a
club in their house? Did you ever go to somebody
who had a club? Never a club? Maybe Vince Carter
who has an equally as big house in the same
neighborhood in Iowa. So it was like Carter, Grant Hill,
and Shack all live in the same neighborhood in Orlando.
(32:35):
Vince may have had a club in his house. His
house is like a house empty Hammer would own. But
but shocks Crib. I think he's selling it. But that
is Yeah, that's an amazing Yeah, all in one neighborhood,
all in one neighborhood, all in Ioleworth, and I end
up renting a house there in Orlando. It was it
(32:55):
was the best thing about Orlando other than that it
was trash. It's a horrible city. I don't know why
Q Rich and Vince and all them love it. I'm
just like, oh yeah, Florida, oh man, And I just
(33:18):
see that Shack bed that had the big as the
Superman on it. Yeah, listen, like, who's gonna buy Shack's
house because everything's to his size isn't it. Somebody's gonna
buy it. Like the toilet, the toilet's gotta be to
his size, right, Oh boy, must be some dinosauricized toilet.
(33:39):
Shack is a big guy man Shack Like, I'm seven foot,
however many pounds and Shack makes me look tiny, and
I'm a big man. Is shack makes me look tiny?
But I thought that Yeao Ming made Shack look a
little more Normal's head is so Yao's head is oh big? Right?
(34:02):
I remember I was on the Portland Trailblazers and uh,
you know, I haven't really I was playing on and
off with Nate McMillan because you know, the Marcus Alders
was bawling and then the playoffs say like put me
in on Shack or not shock, but yeah, and I was.
I looked at the coach like what am I gonna
do with that? Like what am I gonna do with this?
And I'm seven foot And he just turns around and
(34:23):
shoots his jump over me, and I look at the
best like that's the best, like that that's the best
of guy. Like he outweighs me by one hundred pounds.
He is five inches taller than me, and like he
shoots the free throws for his team. He shoots the
technical free throws like, so his skill set is super high.
It's not like I can rattle him, you know, so
I'm just here to annoy him and you know, do whatever.
(34:45):
He's kind of head that's the signs of a microwave. Like.
But he's the biggest guy I've ever Mark Eaton was
a big guy. Yeah, I've seen him, but I think
shacks or I mean, Yaw's legs were like tables, tabletops.
They were so big you couldn't move him. I was
just like, I was yelling at my trainer, like we
(35:11):
need to get in a winder of this great appearance. Uh.

my elbow that needs to be looked at. I don't
know if you've got to take something off of me later.
How do you get injured? You don't do anything. I
don't know how this happens, but it seems like every

stack of cards of appointments of different physicians to take

You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio. The Lakers and Blazers currently tied at thirty
nine and thirty. If the Lakers can get to six,
guess who they play in the opening round as of
right now, the Clippers. That could be spicy. I don't
(00:21):
think you want that if you're the Lakers, but I
don't think you have any choice right now. If you're
the NBA, as long as you feel like you can
still get the Lakers in the nets, then you would
probably sacrifice that matchup of Lakers Clippers in the opening round.
By the way, here are the number of regular season
games the following NBA players have played in the last
(00:44):
two seasons. Lebron has played in one hundred and ten
out of one hundred and forty games. Anthony Davis has
played ninety six out of one forty. Kevin Durant has
played thirty two out of one forty one, Kyrie seventy
two out of one forty one. James Harden has played
(01:06):
one ten out of one thirty seven. That's what makes
me wonder can they stay healthy for a month? They've
you know, all these players have been bothered by some
sort of injury, some serious, some just nagging injuries. What
makes you think that Durant, Kyrie and Harden can stay
(01:28):
healthy for a month. Lebron with that ankle can stay
healthy for a month. Anthony Davis, same thing, Yeah, seedon
something feels like most of those dudes, not all of them,
but most of them are going to be shockingly healthy
for the playoffs. Well, I think I think they will.
(01:50):
But look, all Lebron has to do is roll that
ankle again, tweak it just a little bit, and then
he's gone for a while. Yep. The hamstring is the
same way. I look at the injuries here. Kyrie he
has personal days when he checks out. Durant seems okay
when he's out there. Anthony Davis, it feels like he
has nagging injuries. Those are the kind that don't leave
(02:12):
you whereas you go, hey, I'm completely healed from knee surgery.
You almost get accustomed to. That's how I have to play.
Lebron is going to have to manage a sprained ankle.
I don't think it goes away completely. I don't think
he's one hundred percent. I don't think James Harden's going
to be one percent with the hamstring, but yeah, it
feels like, hey, there's no reason to be rushing back.
(02:35):
I'm going to be ready for the playoffs. Well, the
dangerous part of that is the cohesion that you build
up in that last two weeks, last three weeks of
the regular season. So when you hit the playoffs, you
hit the ground running. And you'll see this sometimes in
different sports where a team that's already clinched and they're
not playing meaningful games the last two weeks, they get
(02:56):
to that first round and they get knocked off because
that team that's scratching and clawing. You know, Golden State
is a dangerous out. I think the Washington Wizards, believe
it or not, are a dangerous out because every game
is important to them. Nobody wants to face the heat.
We we know how good they can be. That's a
(03:19):
fifth seed team right now. Yeah. Pull And in the East,
if the Brooklyn Nets could lose a couple more in
a row, they could face the Knicks in round one.
That would be fantastic first rouft. Yeah, and the East
needs all the help I can get. Yeah, I like that.
The poll question has to do with the Lakers and
the Nets. I'm going to give you Lakers, nets or
everybody else to win the championship. McLevin update the result
(03:42):
the field, Okay, I am surprised. If you would have
said it was eighty two percent saying Lakers or the nets,
I would have believed that. Gotta be the injuries. Yeah,
I just don't know the severity of those injuries. Um.
We talked about Medina's Spirit the horse, the Kentucky Derby
winner Ish right now is going to be racing in
(04:05):

and taking their drug test eight seven seven three d
P Show email address DP at Dan Patrick dot com
Twitter handle at DP show. Talked a little bit about
Tim Tebow with Jacksonville. He's such a polarizing athlete, Like
(04:26):
they're athletes who are polarizing, but Lebron's polarizing because people
don't want to let him in the conversation with Michael
Jordan's greatest player of all time? Or he had to
go to other teams and he had to recruit players
and Okay, Floyd Mayweather polarizing for a variety of reasons,
(04:46):
Like there's certain athletes that are polarizing, but they're still
great at what they do. Tim Tebow's polarizing because he's
not great at what he does, not in baseball and
probably not playing TI Then at age thirty three, here's
Urban Meyer, the Jags head coach, on the Chris Collinswood podcast,
on the possibility of signing Tim Tebow. Yeah, we have
(05:09):
not signed him. There's a thought going around. You know,
he was in the best shape of his life. Asked
to see if he can work out with a couple
of our coaches. I wasn't even there, and they came
back to me and said, wow, this guy's in an
incredible shape. And I said, then I went another time
and watched him, try him out and they said, go
work on these things. He comes back later, they try
(05:31):
him out again. I'm not there and they come in
and they said, wow, you know this guy's ball skills.
He's a great athlete. He looks like he's eighteen years old,
not twenty whatever. He is thirty three. And I said, guys,
you don't understand now this guy is you know, he's
the most competitive maniac you ever gonna talk to, and
let's give it a shot. And I have not decided
if we're gonna do that or not yet. I'm getting close.
(05:53):
I got to make a decision there pretty soon, all right.
So if he makes the ninety man roster, here's a
gimmicky Yeah, it sounds like that. Jacksonville's his hometown, he's
good friends, he's a neighbor of Urban Myers. But but
this is a third string tight end. It's not quarterback.
(06:13):
But man, people get angry with Tim Tebow getting an
opportunity and taking a roster spot. This sounds like something
you would do if you're a college coach, where you'd go, Hey,
a friend of mine and his son. Now I'm gonna
let him make the team. He'll get the dress for
home games. Won't play, but he gets the dress for
(06:37):
the home games. Okay? Is that what they're doing with
Tim Tebow? Is he going to play? Is he going
to dress for home games? There have been multiple reports
that he's signed a one year deal. Here's Urban Meyer saying, no,
shouldn't Urban be there for one of the workouts because
it feels like everybody has watched him tebow work out.
(07:00):
But Urban is Urban just gonna take the advice of
his coaches. And there's reports that not everybody's sold on this.
Some of the coach this is not how you want
to start. You want to the fewest distractions as possible. Now,
if it works out, it's a wonderful story. But hard
(07:21):
Knocks is gonna come in and they're gonna it's gonna
be be Tim tebow time for a different reason. It'll
be camera time, not playing time. And you know they'll
have the you know, the majestic voice there, Liev Schreiver.
They'll have the music in their slow motion with Tim running.
Maybe it's on slow motion, maybe it's just Tim running,
(07:42):
but tebow time, as time run out on tebow time,
have him catching passes. Trevor Lawrence. You an, I was
lucky to see if he could sneak in his emergency quarterback.
But the Jags have four quarterbacks. Trevor Lawrence, Gardner, Minshew CJ.
Bethard is there and Jake Lewton who played last year.
(08:04):
I didn't know, so how many do you carry? Two? Three?
So probably three, So he's not even need to have
a chance of sneaking over to the verage. Oh no, no, no, no, no,
he's not allowed to even go. He has to keep
walking past that room. But do you use him on
a trick play? If he is on the team to
try and then it's not a trick play, Like I
(08:25):
don't know. It's like when when Jameis Winston came in
for a play and you know, everybody immediately wondered, well
is this a trick play? He went at quarterback and
then he threw a touchdown pass. I'm like, how did
you not think that Jameis Winston was gonna be handling
football there and not a runner, you know, Polly. By
(08:46):
the way, you cannot give Tim Tebow number fifteen if
he comes back to the league. You have to give
him a number that suggests he's never ever going to
play him out of a quarterback, he should be like
one hundred and four should be his number. Put him
at a tight end number eighty six, whatever. He's not fifteen.
It suggests that he looks like a quarterbacks though that's
his number. Yeah, that's his number. Can't give him that's
(09:06):
his number, just saying that's his number. By the way.
Spirited conversation with Mike Florio last down. We were talking
about the schedule and a couple other things, and I
guess on the undercard to Floyd Mayweather and one of
the Paul brothers, and I guess it's Logan. Maybe you
could add Adam Schefter and Mike Florio. Florio says, tail
(09:27):
of the tape. I don't know who I'd have in
that situation there. Florio is sneaky strong, but I don't
know Adam Schefter, He's got a master's degree. I don't
know what he helps in a fight. Maybe nobody wants
a piece of Jay Glazer, I will say that, But yes, yeah,
(09:48):
if we got to do like power rank is tough
as NFL reporting cider. Yeah, like Clayton, no offense. No,
he scares you with the ponytail. But yeah, Johnny good
Times does not get into that. Jason King Flora, I've
seen him angry. I just haven't seen him be physical
when he's angry. Yes, Field Yates looks like he's well dressed.
(10:10):
He can help you with your sailboat if you're having
issues with your sailboat. I don't know if he's a fighter.
Yeah yeah. Ed Warder, on the other hand, Edwarder has
more by the way. That's what he says. After he
knocks you out. He's like, yeah, Warder has more. Yeah,
there's more where that came from. Oh, send it back
(10:32):
to you in the studio. Now, I got one. I
got one sal Pal Oh, no, tonio. He's a man
with a very specific set of skills. I would hunt
you down, I will find you, and I will kill you. Yes,
his notebooks have registered lethal weapon. Yes, salpoal sal poals
(10:53):
the outlier. Wasn't he a Navy's seal? I don't know
if he's a seal. I think he was. Okay, legend
grows sounds better. Yes, he was a Navy seal. Mel
Kiper not a fighter, not an insider though. Okay, But
if mel Kiper and Todd McShay fought, Oh, I'm gonna
(11:14):
go McShay really yeah, Yeah, because I think McShee goes
for the hair, and and then I think mel would
would have a problem because he'd want his hair to
look great. But I think that that's what's going to enrage.
That's like bringing out the Hulk. You know. I'd like
to see Glazier and sal Pound glaciers getting up there
(11:36):
a little bit, but that might be good have that
that would be more entertaining than watching Floyd Mayweather against
Logan Paul. And I still think he should be he
should fight both of the brothers. Yes, if he had
an NBA in Tiro, would Woa have a wrestling move
called a wog bomb where he comes jump off the
d What about Shams? Yeah, yeah, what Sham's got a
(12:01):
got back. And I don't know. I actually don't know
how tough he is. How about Chris Mannix, No, he's
definitely he's not a fighter. Chris Bruce. Oh, Chris Brussard
is not an insider anymore, Zach Low. I think we
could take him down, all right, Okay, I think we
could set up maybe like a March madness, a may
(12:22):
madness here with the insiders. Peter Schreger, nobody's ever wanted
to fight. He's too nice a guy. Oh, he's friend zone.
That guy's pure friends, his friend zone. He probably has
a ton of girl friends that are girl friends, friends
that are girls. Peter Schreger in the NFL network. Definitely
in the friend zone. He's not wowing him with his
mock draft Hahn. Hey, come on over, I'll reveal you
(12:45):
want to see my mock draft that's there, and we
like shregar. Oh yeah, if we like you, we we
make fun of yes, yes, yes, yes, Uh. Today's National
Limerick Day. And you know what that mean? Why you
(13:08):
sent me? You sent me because at Daniel Fatally on
Twitter reminded me that it's national Liric seat and I
got the heads up about two hours ago as National
Limerick Day. I put the entire building on lockdown to
not tell Todd's all noon, I say, I'm trying to
save America, okay, But after a while when he sends
me the same limerick three or four times, is that
(13:31):
a little passive aggressive? It's a little But Todd has
a limerick I have to say with an Australian accident,
just because then Ryan and Honolulu is gonna come in
with his own set with a haymaker here and then
like I I mentioned that rich Eisen has had some
(13:51):
really good guest on his show and that face that,
but am I not allowed to compliment? Say? This is
like when Aaron Rodgers he's called the GM like Jerry Krause,
and it was like, oh, well, now you're comparing yourself
to Michael Jordan that you kind of did the same
thing by giving Rich a compliment. You were taking a
shot at Todd at the same time. But I didn't
(14:11):
mention Rich's booker. Well, you didn't have to. You just
talked about the great guests they're getting. That's clearly a
shot at Todd. Nobody took that as a compliment for Rich,
that was only a shot at Todd. There was an
instant reaction on the other side of what. I truly
meant that in a sincere way that Rich Eisen has
(14:33):
had a couple of newsmakers on. That's it. I'll take
in your word for that. I wasn't. That wasn't my
reaction right away. But then what's the fun? Rowers to
gated in and gave me a pause, and I'm like,
you know what, maybe that was a little but if
but if it hurts you a little bit, then I'm
okay with there you go. Yeah, two two birds with
one stone. I complimented Eisen, and I hurt you that.
(14:54):
Yes on behalf of America. Today is National Limerick Day.
Then Todd could do a limerick today, another one next year. Okay,
all right, here's Todd, Fritz. It's National Limerick Day. What's
the topic here. Um, this is a mix of Tim
Tebow and Medina spirit. I took the two of those
and I just threw together with limericks for natural limits.
(15:15):
All right, thank you a Gator reunion around the Bend
for urban Tebow playing tight end. Who cares? We still
have a weakness to talk about the preakness, Medina spirits
fungus Now on the men, okay, serviceable? Yeah, like I'm
plating down the house to anything. No, I was gonna
scream for more limericks please. I like your limericks better
(15:37):
than I do your sports names and your monk head.
What do you like less than those two things? Um, well,
I've had eye surgery, I've had a replacement knee. Yeah.
Those are probably extremely mean things to say, but but
(15:58):
I think you your your limitrics are good. Like I
think they're good. I appreciate that. I like writing them.
I like shagging them with you guys, even if I'm
going to take some level of abuse for it. But
I'm willing to do that. Rich Eisen had some limericks
yesterday and they were crazy. He's got great limericks and
coos and sonnets. I hear, yes, they do. Yeah, And
(16:19):
he knows what anamanapia means. He does un like myself.
You know, yes, mcle I mean the joke used to
be would compare him to the greatest book of all time,
Scott Shapiro, But like it's gotten to the point where
there's really no reason to compare it Todd, Like Scott's
elevated out of this argument, so like we need someone else.
In fact, you win the Scotch Shapiro Award for Booking, Yes,
and he booked for Mike and Mike in the Morning
(16:40):
on ESPN. Ever, forget, it's like comparing like a common
All Star of Michael Jordan's, so it doesn't count, like
Chris Middleton of the Bucks and then Michael Jordan right right,
Todd's Chris Middleton with Okay, yeah, all Star. That sounds
about right, get your game on, go play after the
drawing board for me. But the Scott Shapiro Award for Booking,
it's probably gonna go to Rich Eisen's booker. I should yeah, yes, yes,
(17:03):
to be fair to Todd, it's not you know, who
does he have on the on the schedule for the
next couple of days, Oh dear, no, I'm just being fair. No,
I really don't know. I can't do this to him.
Why are you laughing? I'm just asking because I have
to deal with him. So when the show ends, Paulie
and you leave you overall like no, no today today,
(17:24):
like you get in your land cruiser, and then I'm
sitting here with Todd going why why why? Why? Todd's
just firing off idea after idea, after you get thirty
seven of them today? What are we thinking about this? Yeah?
I got a guest. You know this is proposed to me.
What do you think about? Yes, I'm I feel like
a better of steak silent at this moment. I don't
(17:46):
have a good comeback for that, I thought, do I
mean it? Time's coming on tomorrow? Who's times? Very well
off the season announcement of the schedule. I think that's
a nice appropriate guest with tomorrow. Outside of that, Tod
no idea? What's God? It's okay. I'm fine everyting I'm trying.
I'm fine now, And like, wait till six o'clock today, Yeah, no,
(18:09):
wait till like seven thirty tomorrow morning. God, what are
you gone? Why are you so quiet? Yeah? Contribute something
for crying outright? Let me take a break. I'm gonna
talk some hoops with Channing Fry. Uh get his thoughts? Yeah? Great?
Get there, Ton, Yeah, Channing Fry, Turner sports NBAM. That's cool.
(18:30):
That's not cool. No, I like Channing Fry. Why is
it that I can never joke with you? Like I
can't have fun with you? Rumor has it I'm a
slightly sensitive at times. How many years have we been
working to? Nineteen? And they're on June second, will be nineteen?
I forgot I remember these things that matters to me.
It's like a block it out. I block it out,
(18:53):
but I can't for somebody who is a stand up
well has been a stand up comedian, I can That
was just another show you you don't even realize what's
coming down. Made an effort to try to be something
that you're not, but you gave it a standing. I
was standing of comedy place, but there was no comedy
(19:16):
coming out. Okay, are you as stand up comedian? I've
been told and I like to believe that, But like
if once you do it once and you're on stage
inside of comedy club and people have paid a couple
of drinks, ginger rails with it, if you're a fireman
and the building's out fire and your hose isn't hooked
up to the water. You're just standing there with a
thing in your hand. That's a valid point, but you
still hopefully look decent in your fires. How about we
take a break here, let's kind of regather here a
(19:38):
little bit, recalibrate twenty one after the hour. This is

(20:21):
weekday morning nine until noon eastern six to nine Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and You can find us on
the iHeartRadio app at FSR, or stream us live on
the Peacock app. Channing Fry Turner's sports NBA analyst. He
won an NBA title twenty sixteen with the Cavs over
Golden State and Channing kind enough to join us. All Right,
(20:42):
so we know the best team you played on. What's
the worst team you played on? Oh, that's a great question.
Maybe my rookie year the two thousand and five Nicks.
We had the highest salary in the NBA, and I
think we won twenty three games a year with Larry Brown,
was I mean a dumpster fire. It was hilarious. What's
(21:03):
it like showing up knowing you're gonna lose? Oh, it
wasn't that we were just gonna lose, because I've been
on teams that were just too young that we didn't
get it. But it was still fun. But it was
just like Larry. We had the most starting lineups in
the history of the NBA, and so you didn't know
if you were gonna start or not until forty minutes
on the clock. So he would tell the starting lineup
(21:26):
and the vets. I didn't get it at that time,
and now I probably do what they did. It's like
just blow up. They would literally he would write down
who's gonna start without telling anybody all day long. It was.
It was pretty amazing now that I'm retired and now
I'm not an NBA anymore. But you have these fan bases.
You had that with the Knicks, but you're also with
(21:46):
the Lakers prior to Lebron getting there. Yeah, those fan
bases when they turn on you like, oh it's not fun.
Not one was tougher though the Knicks are the Lakers. Oh,
the Knicks not even close. The next fan base is
the toughest. I was getting booed at an Applebee's. I'm like,
(22:08):
I'm just here for then endless ribblin basket. I'm getting
boot out, damn man. And I was heard the last
sixty yoo and crutches and then booing. Me and David Lee,
We're like, we're rookie, we don't control anything. It was
if you were going to explain Steph Curry to somebody
(22:31):
who had never seen him play, Oh man, I would say,
imagine a guy that could show up on any court
and probably not be picked first, but that will never
leave the court because he's gonna win every single game.
Like he's he's not big, he's not extremely fast, he's
(22:53):
not extremely athletic. But yet he's two number one or two,
depending on how you are, the most influential people person
in the NBA in the last ten twenty years. Oh,
probably even more than that. I think he's more influential
from the playing aspect than Jordan. Than Jordan, I mean Jordan,
(23:15):
you know that that shadow is a big shadow. But
Steph gave hope to anybody who steps on the basketball.
For one, was Steph had success, You said, oh, man,
I could shoot from if I could just Steph's greatest
superpower is a skill, right, Like Steph is like iron Man,
like he built himself, like you worked on that, and
he has his innatability and he like shooting is something
(23:40):
that everyone can do, yet he does it so well.
We're used to his audacious numbers that what he's doing
is so ridiculous, Like he's doing James Harden numbers without
James Harden's. I mean, people underst me how good of
a score James hardenness. He's doing James Harden numbers without
(24:02):
James Harden one on ones because he's coming off pin downs,
He's coming off screens like it's amazing this year and
I'm you know what, I'm just gonna sound wild. I'm
not glad that Clay got hurt, but I'm glad that
people get to see this Steph Curry. Yeah, I don't
know if we would ever have seen this Steph Curry.
(24:23):
And I was you know, I said something at the
beginning of the year that Warriors fans got mad. I said,
if he doesn't take this team to the he's accomplished everything,
and if he doesn't take this team to the playoffs,
just the playoffs, that would that would make me disappointed
because I know how good he is and he's far
exceeded that to now you got to put him top
(24:45):
fifteen all time as a players. Now you when you
get switched out on him? Did you ever get switched
out on him? Yeah? Oh yeah, Oh yeah. It's the
worst because the problem is he'll just the ball to
Draymond and then you have to chase him. And it's
not like he's gonna just James Harden you or he's
(25:06):
not gonna Kyrie you. He's like, oh you're my switch,
throw the ball to someone else. You don't. You can't
practice that. You can't practice verse going over these screens.
You can't stay on the body. He's too fast, he's
too he's too smart, and they set great screens, and
it's just like he's impossible to guard because he's okay
without the ball. In a minute you turn your head,
(25:27):
he's gone. Would you want to be a teammate of
Russell Westbrook's me as a shooter? Yes, oh yeah, Oh yeah,
well he doesn't. He might not throw it out to
you as often as you think you're gonna get it
there chanting. I mean, I definitely think that Russell Westbrook
(25:49):
has gotten a lot better at creating opportunities for other people,
especially on this Wizard team. I think his triple devils
do equate to winning. But I also feel like any
great player, you lean yourself towards their style of basketball.
Right It just you can't, like Steph can't go to
(26:10):
New York and be get fifty a game. Nobody's getting
fifty on New York even you know, Julius Randall is
having a great year, but I don't know what his
career high is this year, maybe thirty five. It's just
a system. So his system that works is fast paced. Uh,
you know you gotta scoring to one twenties, one thirties.
(26:30):
She's the second best point guard of all time. Who
is rush No, Well, Scotty Brooks said that he's maybe
Scott Brooks said that, Okay, I respect that, but now
we not stop it. That's so disrespectful to either magic
John Sair. Isaiah's magic is one, Isaiah's two magic is.
(26:52):
And now I had this conversation last night with one
of my old teammates. Magic is probably the last small
guard to win multiple championships, truly small guard. That was
your point guard, right, and I mean Isaiah, I said, Isaiah, Oh,
yeah you had magic? Because yeah, I say magic one,
Isaiah two. And then you know, depending on how you
(27:14):
view the point guard position, then maybe man, well it's
Steph Curry a point guard. I don't, I don't, I
don't think. To me, I think Draymond is their point guard.
To me, okay, is Russell? Would you rather have John
(27:35):
Stockton or Russell Westbrook? Oh just sucks and stop? Okay,
I played with Steve Nash. Would you rather have Nash
or Westbrook? Oh? I'm taking sorry Nash, but it just
that hurt that hurt me saying it. But Paulie, let's
(27:56):
bring in Steve Nash. Now, Steve, you just heard no,
I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do that too, you
all right, So Lakers Warriors look like their own a
collision course here in that playing tournament. I don't think
they're worried about it, the Lakers about that. I don't
think the Lakers are worried about it, and I don't
(28:16):
think the Warriors are worried about it because I don't
think the Grizzlies or the Spurs match up very well
versus Warriors. Right I think if we are just to
end the season right now, I think that's how it
would end. The Lakers will be seven. I think they
love that matchup versus Suns, especially with a healthy Lebron
and healthy schroder Um. And then I think the Warriors
(28:38):
are like, I think we have a chance for us Utah.
I think the Warriors stylistically are Utah's bamed in Utah's existence.
They switched screening roll and so there are three things.
And that's why I was talking about it on TV
the other day. If they are three things team could do,
you can play one on one. You can run your system,
or you could do screening roll right, and Utah's best
(29:00):
screening role in system team in NBA. So they passed,
they moved, they cut. All that happens because teams can't switch,
but the Warriors are the best switching team in NBA,
so they switch underneath. The last game you watched, Rudy
Gobert had ten points, but like his ten points were
just I'm just bigger than everybody ten points. He had
(29:20):
no impact on the game pretty much. Why do you
think Jordan Clarkson had to go one on one so much?
Jordan Clarkson shooting thirty three shots is exactly what the
Warriors want to do, right. But the problem is when
you add Mike Conley and you add Donovan Mitchell, now
you have more ball handlers, but neither one of those guys.
So you would have Donovan Mitchell and Jordan Clarkson really
(29:43):
are your one on one guys, and you would say,
I'll take my chances with Draymond Wiggins, Kelly Oubrey and
Jordan pool camp base more. With those chances. Now, I
think Utah would win that series. But I think Utah
or I think Golden State would give him a run
for their money. If I gave you the nets and
the Lakers are the rest of the field to win
(30:03):
the championship. Man, First of all, I can't better get
Braun in the playoffs. I think he's too Yeah, he's
gotta be healthy like in as huge But I'll tell
you this, Listen, if I've made as much money as
he was, I'm pretty sure he's pretty healthy. If I
know him, this dude gets twenty four hours around the
(30:26):
clock and this is not a joke, twenty four hour
around the clock care every time he has an injury.
So for him, they didn't have a long break. A
lot of guys are coming back and they're having soft
tissue injuries. So you've seen a lot of hamstring, You've
seen a lot of you know, this year has been
a weird year for them to be seventh. I don't
(30:48):
think the Lakers give a crap as much as everyone
makes this. Have you been to Lebron's towns me his
old house in Cleveland? Oh, she haven't been invited to
the al Ancred No, No, I haven't. It's been of it.
I haven't gone to La I'm gonna go to this house.
I'm gonna raid his one fridge pensive. I'm going right
to the fridge. What what was the mansion in? Was
(31:09):
it Akron? That? Yeah? Acron? What did it have in
that that I would be surprised to? I mean, have
you ever been to a Hilton? Looks like like, oh no, no, hey, listen,
where do I check in? They got a concierge there
for sure. Listen, we are in everybody in the NBA.
(31:31):
You should take care of yourself. You get a big house.
I have a big house in Portland, Oregon. My house
looks like a shock compared to his house. I said, damn,
I said, this was like to be a billionaire. What
in the okay, best best house you were ever in? Best? True?
Grant Hill easily whoa Grant Hill lives in Orlando, Florida.
(31:52):
He has like a twenty five thousand square foot house
and it is like, I think Obama stays there when
they go to stuff in Orlando. He says that io
worth the golf course. Yeah, he has like a tennis court.
You know, you got a tennis court. A pooh, he
got a wine room. He don't even be drinking wine
like that. You got expensive wines in there. I'm like,
(32:12):
you don't even drink wine. You got a couch in
his couch in his kitchen. Like, what who had a
club in their house? Did you ever go to somebody
who had a club? Never a club? Maybe Vince Carter
who has an equally as big house in the same
neighborhood in Iowa. So it was like Carter, Grant Hill,
and Shack all live in the same neighborhood in Orlando.
(32:35):
Vince may have had a club in his house. His
house is like a house empty Hammer would own. But
but shocks Crib. I think he's selling it. But that
is Yeah, that's an amazing Yeah, all in one neighborhood,
all in one neighborhood, all in Ioleworth, and I end
up renting a house there in Orlando. It was it
(32:55):
was the best thing about Orlando other than that it
was trash. It's a horrible city. I don't know why
Q Rich and Vince and all them love it. I'm
just like, oh yeah, Florida, oh man, And I just
(33:18):
see that Shack bed that had the big as the
Superman on it. Yeah, listen, like, who's gonna buy Shack's
house because everything's to his size isn't it. Somebody's gonna
buy it. Like the toilet, the toilet's gotta be to
his size, right, Oh boy, must be some dinosauricized toilet.
(33:39):
Shack is a big guy man Shack Like, I'm seven foot,
however many pounds and Shack makes me look tiny, and
I'm a big man. Is shack makes me look tiny?
But I thought that Yeao Ming made Shack look a
little more Normal's head is so Yao's head is oh big? Right?
(34:02):
I remember I was on the Portland Trailblazers and uh,
you know, I haven't really I was playing on and
off with Nate McMillan because you know, the Marcus Alders
was bawling and then the playoffs say like put me
in on Shack or not shock, but yeah, and I was.
I looked at the coach like what am I gonna
do with that? Like what am I gonna do with this?
And I'm seven foot And he just turns around and
(34:23):
shoots his jump over me, and I look at the
best like that's the best, like that that's the best
of guy. Like he outweighs me by one hundred pounds.
He is five inches taller than me, and like he
shoots the free throws for his team. He shoots the
technical free throws like, so his skill set is super high.
It's not like I can rattle him, you know, so
I'm just here to annoy him and you know, do whatever.
(34:45):
He's kind of head that's the signs of a microwave. Like.
But he's the biggest guy I've ever Mark Eaton was
a big guy. Yeah, I've seen him, but I think
shacks or I mean, Yaw's legs were like tables, tabletops.
They were so big you couldn't move him. I was
just like, I was yelling at my trainer, like we
(35:11):
need to get in a winder of this great appearance. Uh.
