I said that it was a meet Friday, and we
have pulled pork. We have brisket, we have barbecue. Who
has it better than we do?
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Nobody?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Alrighty, gang's all here. Well, Fritzy is in London. Fritzie's
gonna call in a little bit later on because he
should take a victory lap for what happened on Celebrity
Family Feud.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
He closed it out.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
In fact, here is the final This is the fast
money segment at the end of Celebrity Family Feud last
night starring Fritzy.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Twenty five seconds on the clock.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Please, when someone asked, how many fingers am I holding up?
How many are they holding up?
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Free?
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Tell me one thing you know about Dwayne and Rock Johnson.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
He's very muscular.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Name something women wish men could surprise them with roses
try in jewelry. Name a US city with a lot
of professional sports teams Los Angeles. Name a kind of
berry you'd find in a bowl of mixed berries strawberries.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Yep, we closed out the Rich Eisen Show. We already
had the two hundred points there. We didn't even need
the last question there for Fritzi. But it was a
lot of fun, a lot of fun and a lot
of people watching that, and Marvin and Fritzie I thought
did a great job. It was all about content. I said,
if we lose Celebrity Family Feud, let's win the content battle.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
And we did both. We won both there all right.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
We have a poll question, play of the day, stat
of the day, all of that forthcoming. I mentioned the
guest list and it is the first day of the tournament.
Summer League. Did watch a little bit of that with
Cooper Flag, Brownie James, and you know, there's a lot
of report cards that will come in on Cooper Flag.
And I look at this and sometimes I overreact to
the Summer League and probably will. With Cooper Flag, he
(02:47):
shot twenty one times. I think he might have had
one game at Duke where he took more than twenty
one shots in a game. I was surprised at the volume.
But what I look for is where are those shots?
I don't think he's a three point shooter yet, but
he's eighteen years of age. I mean, Vince Carter didn't
become one until what year fifteen. Jason Kidd became a
(03:08):
pretty good, reliable three point shooter Lebron It took him
a while, Brooks Lopez took him a while to become
a good three point shooting big man. So it's going
to take a little while for Cooper Flag, obviously, but
he was getting his shot. But he gave me intangibles.
He gave me offense. Defense, gave me a passing, he
gave me rebounding, but he also gave me court presence.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
That's what I'm looking for. He's eighteen.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
You run around guys who aren't going to make the roster,
or if they do, they're not going to play very much.
But I wanted to see how they featured him. And
this will be probably what I zero in on with
the Summer League with Cooper Flag, and that's going to
be do they try to use him as a point guard.
He's six' eight AND i Think Jason kidd wants him
to play some point guard for this. Team you're not
(03:55):
going to Have Kyrie, irving and they Got D'Angelo russell
waiting For kyrie to come. Back BUT i think they're
going to try to Have Cooper flag get a little
run there at point and you know he'll work on his.
SHOT i don't like his shot right. Now takes him
a little while to get that shot, off and he'll
learn quickly that you better create some space if you're
(04:17):
going to try to get that shot.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Off but watching last, night it was. Fun.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Man it's summer league basketball And Bronnie. James bronnie had
the game in his. Hands he wanted to take that
last shot there and didn't. Connect and that's What Cooper flag. Said,
HEY i didn't shoot, well but we won and really
Was that's the goal every single night that we.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Play all, Right, seaton what's the poll?
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Question by the, way good morning once again if you're
watching On, peacock and if you haven't downloaded the, app
please do. So Charles barkley will join us in a
little bit and we say good morning to our radio
affiliates around the. Country iHeartRadio Fox Sports. Radio stat of
The day is always brought to you By Panini, america
the official trading cards of the, program and the first
hour brought to you by the great folks At. Mako
(05:02):
And i'm sure your car could use a LITTLE. Tlc
that's What mako, does affordable paint shobs like collision. Repairs
get a free estimate. Today uh, oh better Get, maco all?
Right Setan Well todd sent over a funny one from
uh Lundun.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
Yeah uh would you rather get dot dot? Dot cheers
as an athlete or laughs as a.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Comic laughs is a comic because if you've ever been
in a room when you don't get laughs as a.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Comic oh, yeah having a, joke not land is a terrible.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Feeling, Yes like IF i don't get, cheered If i'm
doing something, athletic, Okay i'm all, right because there's gonna
be a part of the crowd that's not going to
root for. You if you go into a concert hall
and you're a, comedian they're there to laugh at you with.
You you go to a sporting event and they're gonna
be people who aren't rooting for you or your.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Team but there's nothing like landing a. Joke oh that's the. Best,
yeah making people laugh as one of the best things
you can. Do and that's What. Fritzy he gets addicted to.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
That and once, again if you if you have a
laugh and you hear that laugh and you hear that,
crowd that to, me it replaces what a crowd can. Do,
now if you're getting a standing ovation as an, athlete you,
know or the entire you, know everybody's raucous yelling and,
(06:24):
streaming that's one. Thing but when you land a joke
and you're there with fifteen thousand, people that's pretty.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Good.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Yes Like Cooper, flagg like to your, point he had
a dunk last night and the place went absolutely.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Crazy.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Yeah, yeah that's gotta feel damn, good especially BECAUSE i
know a summer.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
League but you're a.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
KID i, mean he's a kid and he's just getting
in there and you have a moment like that's.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
The hell, yeah. Dude.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Yeah and it's also what he did to get that standing.
Ovation so if you, have you, know a highlight dunk
and people go, crazy that's one. Thing but you, know
if you hit a layup at the buzzer and people go,
CRAZY i mean it's a layout up at the. Buzzer
he had a. Dunk it was a highlight last.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Night, yes. Boy it is so.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
Similar, though when you whiff on a, joke it's like
you feel like you're. Exposed go back to celebrity family.
FEUD i was watching last, night and you Set fritzy
up to Imitate Steve. Harvey that's a gutsy move And
fritzy has no blinders and he did, it and he hit,
it And Steve harvey.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Goes all, right and he.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
GOES i respect the.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
Effort you also had a JOKE i want to give
away everything if you haven't seen, it but you had
a joke where your answer was but it was a real,
answer but it was your wife and the whole place loved,
it and you got a really great reaction out of.
It when you get a, reaction it's like ear. Emboldened oh,
yeah because there were some.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Jokes now once, again we probably shot an hour's worth
for a half hour, show and really it's a twenty
two minute. Show they chop up a lot of things,
there but you, know just behind the, scenes being there doing,
it going out on. Stage once we put our name.

Speaker 4 (15:28):
Coward, dan why don't you play in this? TOURNAMENT i
guess you injured this. Year, dan this is the best
week of a.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
YEAR i would play IF i could play with, you
BECAUSE i know THAT i would beat.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
You then you can't beat. Me now you had the
worst odds to win this. THING i don't even understand.
THAT i. Do, NO i don't even understand that because
last YEAR i came in fifty. Eighth so how did
they have that's thirty more? People how can they have?
Me did Last IF i beat thirty some people last?
Year i'm all, Right i'm betting on you to better
(16:04):
your score from last. Year well they got me top sixty, five, Right,
Yeah i'm gonna beat.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
That i'm going under me. Too, yeah how much you
got to bet on?
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Yourself, well last YEAR i. HAD i want to bet
five hundred thousand dollars on, them and did you? So,
no this true. STORY i placed the bet and then
they tell ME i can't do. It they say it's
illegal for me better, MYSELF i, said which is, Total but,
YES i might. ADD i guess they KNEW i was gonna,
(16:32):
win but they told me it's illegal for you to
bet on. Yourself i'm, like IF i bet myself to,
lose that would be, illegal but boxers get to bet on.
THEMSELVES i don't. KNOW i think they were just full of,
crap to be honest with, You, DAN i would have
placed the bet for. YOU i would like you to do. That, so,
yeah they told me it was, illegal WHICH i didn't.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Understand, okay so you can give me five hundred, thousand,
yes AND i can bet on.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
You.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Yes let's see if they take that this, year and
DO i get a finder's fee or DO i Get
did you put any money? In, no you didn't put
any money. In so IF i, lose so you gotta
find an unfound. Fee.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
No what's the number one question basketball wise that you'll
get out?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
HERE i have.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
NOT i just got in last. NIGHT i have not
been asked any basketball question. Yet to be honest with,
YOU i have not been asked one basketball. Question i've
only did probably two quick interviews nothing just the most
formal One i've. Done BUT i have not been asked
one basketball. Question but the answer your question was the
(17:46):
number one Question i'm probably gonna be asked is how
close out The rockets to the Thunder and who's going
to be favored in The, east which are two very
good questions BECAUSE i don't know because basketball is not
played on papers played in the gym uh AND i
have no idea who the favorite in The. East did
The rockets get the? Better probably are as good As Oklahoma?
(18:08):
CITY i don't, Know but the caution with The, East
i'd have to do some serious thinking BECAUSE i like
the mouse turner going With. Giannis The knicks are gonna
be Solid. ORAN i like What orlando. Did atlanta had
(18:32):
a great, office did. Well but all that stuff is
just window. Dressing when that when when the basketball starts In,
october that's when it. Started everything looks great on.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Paper DeAndre ayton going to The? Lakers does? That what's
the what's that?
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Solve they got, Bigger they got, bigger but their, best
second best player is going to be forty, one forty
two years? Old can he stay? Healthy Is Luca luca
gonna be in? Shape are they better in The? Rockets
are they better In Oklahoma? City are they better Than?
(19:11):
Denver those are great. QUESTIONS i don't just because Because
aiden his TRACK i gotta go by his track, record
and it's not a good track. Record did they needed
a big? Guy but are they better In Oklahoma? City
In houston Or? DENVER i would not say.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
So.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
No do you think you know more about football than
you do? BASKETBALL i admire football more THAN i do.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Basketball it takes a tremendous amount of courage to play.
FOOTBALL i played for one day AND i REALIZED i
was a. PUSS i was, like, damn they really are
hid not.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Here but you you were a big guy in high.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
SCHOOL i wasn't that. BIG i grew from five ten
to sixty, five BUT i was like five ten WHEN
i played football at one. Day but even, now to
go out on the football, field you can. Cheat in.
Basketball you don't have to play. Defense you can be
a one way offensive. Player you can you know you can.
Cheat you cannot cheat in football if you step on
that football. Field it's kind the same thing with. Boxing
(20:14):
the reason football and boxing of my two favorite. Sports
it takes tremendous. Courage you cannot step on a football
field if you're not all, In you're gonna have to.
QUIT i, mean it's just. Dangerous same thing with. Boxing
you can't cheat football in. Boxing you can cheat in
some other, sports but in, football in boxing you have
to be all.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
IN i think best athletes are hockey players to do
it on the ice well with the. Sticks they get
to hit you with the.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Sticks, WELL i would love to beat the hell out
of some people and only get and only get punished
for two. Minutes can you imagine that you get to
knock the hell out of somebody and only get punished
for two. Minutes that would be A that'd be like
a dream come.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
True, okay how many players would you look in back
like to have THAT i get to beat you up
AND i am only out two minutes for Roughing.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Bill, lambert mL, Car Papa. Jones Because Papa jones there
one player who dominated me every TIME i played against.
HIM i would love to just knock the hell out
of him for two.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Minutes when you See, lambert you're.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Good we're, good you, know, dude all this stuff should be. Good,
dude he's sixty year. Old if you're sixty years old
and still, fighting you a. Punk anybody who's still fighting,
Sixty anybody who's fighting past twenty five is a. Punk
like if you're a grown, person you know you young
and dumbans, too but you get in a fight every
now and. Then but once you're a grown, person you
(21:44):
shouldn't be. Fighting anybody fighting once you pass thirty is
just a. Loser you see these videos with people out here,
Fighting you say to, yourself what a damn. Food what an?
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Idiot where would you be if you didn't play?
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Basketball, wow that's a great. QUESTION i believe my work
ethic would make me. Successful BUT i don't know Because
i've never did anything but. Basketball BUT i believe my
work ethic in basketball help me be, successful cause you
(22:18):
got to have more than talent to be. Successful BUT
i probably would be like a regular, worker like in
a factory, somewhere because nobody's gonna ever has going to
SAY i didn't work, hard BUT i wasn't going to
be overly. Smart i'm not going to tell that. Lie

Speaker 1 (25:18):
This be sure to catch the live edition Of The
Dan Patrick show weekdays at nine Am eastern six Am
pacific On Fox Sports. Radio and The iHeartRadio. Wap we'll
try to.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Get to some more phone calls here coming up eight
seven to seven to THREE dp show Operator tylie's sitting
by take your phone.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Calls we spent some time yesterday With Charles.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Barkley we gave you part, one then we went to
commercial break and we promised part. Two AND i started
out by Asking Charles barkley how easy it was to
get in trouble on the road when he was Playing
it's very easy to get in.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Trouble you got, drugs you got, alcohol you got women.
Troubles troubles are always there at. Trouble you have to
go on the road to get in. Trouble it's at home.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Too but who helps you navigate that when you get
to THE, nba because you know.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
How it helps you. Navigate you got to surround. Yourself
the first thing you gotta do is get rid of
your family and friends because they're the biggest freeloaders and
they'll never tell you. No they'll use up all your money,
too and they and they won't tell you. No you
got to surround yourself with a few people who number
one will tell you, no tell you how to invest your.
Money how to save your? Money tell, you, hey you
(26:33):
had too much to. DRINK i don't think we should
be doing this, pot, cocaine all these. Drugs, uh that's
the hardest thing surrounding yourself with people because these kids
got the same. Stuff they they just got more of
it and they got more. Money but you got there's,
(26:54):
women there's, alcohol there's. Drugs, uh there's that's every, where
whether you at home or on the. Road and sometimes
they can all get you in trouble if you don't control,
them and they're readily available depending on how much money you. Got,
well how did you not get in? Trouble Or i've
done stupid? THINGS i never got into the drug. Thing
(27:15):
you'd smoke pot? Before, yeah five. TIMES i don't understand.
It you, know my friends keep trying to get me
to smoke. POT i don't smoke, pot like five. Times
it just makes me want potato. Chips it doesn't do
anything for. Me dan and my friends love, it AND i, say,
oh y'all can do. It i'm just not gonna do.
It but pot does nothing for. ME i just don't understand.
(27:37):
It i've, OneD i, SAID i Think i've done, it
maybe four five. Times at the boat and they're, like
you got to try, this this, Whatever And i'm, like,
yeah what a laced potato chips and prinkles. Up But
i've never gotten involved with. DRUGS i probably did some
stupid stuff with, women for, sure but, man it's there
(27:58):
if you want.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
It but also when you think about, it if you
go to a, team a bad team or a, team
that that's the.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Culture, yeah but.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
Every guy's not involved in the. Culture like there's. Guys
what guys on Teams i've been, on they like to do.
Drugs you don't have to hang out with those. Guys
but the inn bottom. Mine you gotta make your own.
DECISIONS i chose not to do. DRUGS i didn't judge
other guys who did. Drugs that's. Them there's GUYS i
probably drank too much BECAUSE i like to. Drink BUT
(28:30):
i think the biggest thing you need to be a
great players have a good coaching. Staff that's probably the
most important, thing the coaching. STAFF i think more players
get ruined by bad coaching staffs because the coaches are.
Cowards they're scared of the. Coach LIKE i wanted a Pat.
RILEY i had a great, Coach Billy cunningham Or Greg.
Popovich but most of these coaches today they're cowards because
(28:51):
the players make so much. Money they don't have money.
Control the players run the team and the coach needs
to realize that player gonna get him. Fired. Right but
we have taken the power from the coaches away because
the players make so much. Money BUT i say bad
coaches have ruined more players than anything in THE.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
NBA i was wondering this question if this would be
asked On lebron's, podcast and tell me how you would interpret.
This let's Say Steve nash says To Kevin durant And
lebron is, there and he, says do you think you're
better Than? Lebron do you think it's a fair question
to ask? Kd and what do you think kat would? Say,
(29:35):
WELL i think all questions are. Fair you had a
right to answer. THEM i Think katie his answer should be,
yes you got to always thank.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
You you can't be a great. Player if you thank
other players a, venue they gonna have to prove they're
better than. You. DO i think kat is.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
As good As.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
LEBRON i do not BECAUSE i don't think you have
his leadership. Qualities but that's a fair, question BUT i
can answers sh be.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yes but did you think you were?
Speaker 4 (30:02):
Better? Yes, yes?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Yes did you think you were better Than?
Speaker 4 (30:06):
Jordan's?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Yes was there anybody you didn't think you were better Than?
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Dan let me tell you, this And i've talked about
this public. BEFORE i did not Think Michael jordan was
betting me till he beat me in the, finals because
WHEN i WHEN i was In, philly we actually had
success against, them and then they got good and then
they beat us in the playoffs one. Year BUT i
(30:33):
thought of just because he had some better players around.
Him WHEN i got trade The, PHOENIX i, Says Chuck
day had told. Me he, says you're the second best
player in the. WORLD i, Said i'm the best player
in the. World he, says, no that guy right over
there's the best player in the. WORLD i, said, Well
i'm gonna prove it to your ass this year when
we played them in the, finals he. Says chuck, SAYS
(30:56):
i didn't realize how great you were except getting to
watch you play every, day how easy the game is for.
You you can play with. Anybody this is doing the
dream team. Practice AND i, SAID i, Said Chuck i'm
the best player in the. World i'm gonna prove it to.
YOU i, Said we're going to play The bulls in the.
Finals AND i remember telling the guys that going in training.
(31:18):
CAMP i, said we're going to play the bulls in the.
Finals how you know, THAT i, said Because i'm the
best damn player in the world And i'm gonna prove.
IT i, Said we're gonna play the bulls And i'm
gonna Prove i'm a best player in the. World AND
i remember going home After game. Two my daughter was,
upset crying because we lost the first two. GAMES i, says,
(31:39):
hey just, Relax we're gonna be. FINE i, said BUT
i gotta tell you. SOMETHING i ain't never said this
in my. LIFE i think that guy might be better
at basketball THAN i. Am AND i, said BUT i
Think i'm better and we'll be. Fine then we Win game,
three Lose game, four win game, five come back home
For game, six and my DAUGHTER i, SAY i told
(32:01):
YOU i Think i'm the best player in the. World
i'm gonna prove. It then they beat. US i Remember
Taylor haw, SAYS i ain't never said to se before
that guy's better at basketball than. Me and that's the
first Time i'd ever because it's a team. Game but
ONCE i Got Dann, Marlin Kevin, JOHNSON i, said we
can beat. Anybody we can beat. Anybody but, YEAH i
Thought Michael jordan was a better player to. Me that's
(32:22):
the only PLAYER i ever played AGAINST i thought was
better than. Me Magic magic Had James worth And kareem
And magic is. Great you, know we owe all our
success in THE nba To Larry bird And Magic. Johnson
they're the two most important people in THE nba. History
they're the reason THE nba makes some. Money they Obviously
michael took it to a whole nother, level but it
went For Magic johnson And Larry, bird THE nba wouldn't
(32:43):
be what it was. Today playing and simple.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
What If bird doesn't injury this?
Speaker 4 (32:47):
Back we stated one of the greatest players. EVER i,
mean you, know is this a what was it a
ten year? CAREER i think it was more than, That
but you have to factor end though then the physicality
of the. Game we all had to go to college
for three and four. Years you, know these guys number,
one bless these, guys they make a deal how long
they Play number. One they never went to. College and
(33:10):
also there's no. Physicality you have to factor. In these guys.
PLAYED i played three years of. COLLEGE i Think bird
played four years of. College michael played three years of.
College Tim duncan played four years of. College David robinson
played four years of. College so you guys talk about
all these guys they, LIKE i, say and, listen it's
(33:31):
a different game now because no. Physicality but you have
to factor in all the years some of these guys
lost going to. COLLEGE i Think bird went to. COLLEGE
i mean you went to two or three SCHOOLS i
remember correct before it went to in down the state because,
uh but so but Bird, man he was.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Amazing it feels like there's all there's probably more stories
about bird that are told than any other player.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Because he was the best striss talker. Ever yeah you know,
So So Leon wood was one of my, teammates and
we're sitting in the locker room getting ready for the
three point shooting, contests and, YEA i was kind of
just talking To, leon trying to calm him down and
get all these three point shooters in. There barr comes
(34:17):
in and, says which one of you is gonna come
in second? Place, like which one of you gonna come
in second, Place so first words through the? Door which
one of you don't come in second? Place? Dan it was.
(34:38):
Over i'm sitting. Around nobody said. Nothing it was one
of the best. Scenes if, Like i'm looking, Around i'm
not in the, contest SO i can't say. Anything nobody
said a, word AND i, Said, MAN i wish we
had casinos we could bet onm gonna win this three
(35:00):
point shooting contest because nobody said a. THING i, MEAN
i was, like this thing is. Over this is a.
Speaker 3 (35:07):

Speaker 4 (01:00):
Nobody?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Alrighty, gang's all here. Well, Fritzy is in London. Fritzie's
gonna call in a little bit later on because he
should take a victory lap for what happened on Celebrity
Family Feud.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
He closed it out.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
In fact, here is the final This is the fast
money segment at the end of Celebrity Family Feud last
night starring Fritzy.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Twenty five seconds on the clock.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Please, when someone asked, how many fingers am I holding up?
How many are they holding up?
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Free?
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Tell me one thing you know about Dwayne and Rock Johnson.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
He's very muscular.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Name something women wish men could surprise them with roses
try in jewelry. Name a US city with a lot
of professional sports teams Los Angeles. Name a kind of
berry you'd find in a bowl of mixed berries strawberries.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Yep, we closed out the Rich Eisen Show. We already
had the two hundred points there. We didn't even need
the last question there for Fritzi. But it was a
lot of fun, a lot of fun and a lot
of people watching that, and Marvin and Fritzie I thought
did a great job. It was all about content. I said,
if we lose Celebrity Family Feud, let's win the content battle.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
And we did both. We won both there all right.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
We have a poll question, play of the day, stat
of the day, all of that forthcoming. I mentioned the
guest list and it is the first day of the tournament.
Summer League. Did watch a little bit of that with
Cooper Flag, Brownie James, and you know, there's a lot
of report cards that will come in on Cooper Flag.
And I look at this and sometimes I overreact to
the Summer League and probably will. With Cooper Flag, he
(02:47):
shot twenty one times. I think he might have had
one game at Duke where he took more than twenty
one shots in a game. I was surprised at the volume.
But what I look for is where are those shots?
I don't think he's a three point shooter yet, but
he's eighteen years of age. I mean, Vince Carter didn't
become one until what year fifteen. Jason Kidd became a
(03:08):
pretty good, reliable three point shooter Lebron It took him
a while, Brooks Lopez took him a while to become
a good three point shooting big man. So it's going
to take a little while for Cooper Flag, obviously, but
he was getting his shot. But he gave me intangibles.
He gave me offense. Defense, gave me a passing, he
gave me rebounding, but he also gave me court presence.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
That's what I'm looking for. He's eighteen.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
You run around guys who aren't going to make the roster,
or if they do, they're not going to play very much.
But I wanted to see how they featured him. And
this will be probably what I zero in on with
the Summer League with Cooper Flag, and that's going to
be do they try to use him as a point guard.
He's six' eight AND i Think Jason kidd wants him
to play some point guard for this. Team you're not
(03:55):
going to Have Kyrie, irving and they Got D'Angelo russell
waiting For kyrie to come. Back BUT i think they're
going to try to Have Cooper flag get a little
run there at point and you know he'll work on his.
SHOT i don't like his shot right. Now takes him
a little while to get that shot, off and he'll
learn quickly that you better create some space if you're
(04:17):
going to try to get that shot.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Off but watching last, night it was. Fun.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Man it's summer league basketball And Bronnie. James bronnie had
the game in his. Hands he wanted to take that
last shot there and didn't. Connect and that's What Cooper flag. Said,
HEY i didn't shoot, well but we won and really
Was that's the goal every single night that we.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Play all, Right, seaton what's the poll?
Speaker 3 (04:40):

doing something, athletic, Okay i'm all, right because there's gonna
be a part of the crowd that's not going to
root for. You if you go into a concert hall
and you're a, comedian they're there to laugh at you with.
You you go to a sporting event and they're gonna
be people who aren't rooting for you or your.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Team but there's nothing like landing a. Joke oh that's the. Best,
yeah making people laugh as one of the best things
you can. Do and that's What. Fritzy he gets addicted to.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
That and once, again if you if you have a
laugh and you hear that laugh and you hear that,
crowd that to, me it replaces what a crowd can. Do,
now if you're getting a standing ovation as an, athlete you,
know or the entire you, know everybody's raucous yelling and,
(06:24):
streaming that's one. Thing but when you land a joke
and you're there with fifteen thousand, people that's pretty.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Good.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Yes Like Cooper, flagg like to your, point he had
a dunk last night and the place went absolutely.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Crazy.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Yeah, yeah that's gotta feel damn, good especially BECAUSE i
know a summer.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
League but you're a.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
KID i, mean he's a kid and he's just getting
in there and you have a moment like that's.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
The hell, yeah. Dude.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Yeah and it's also what he did to get that standing.
Ovation so if you, have you, know a highlight dunk
and people go, crazy that's one. Thing but you, know
if you hit a layup at the buzzer and people go,
CRAZY i mean it's a layout up at the. Buzzer
he had a. Dunk it was a highlight last.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Night, yes. Boy it is so.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
Similar, though when you whiff on a, joke it's like
you feel like you're. Exposed go back to celebrity family.
FEUD i was watching last, night and you Set fritzy
up to Imitate Steve. Harvey that's a gutsy move And
fritzy has no blinders and he did, it and he hit,
it And Steve harvey.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Goes all, right and he.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
GOES i respect the.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
Effort you also had a JOKE i want to give
away everything if you haven't seen, it but you had
a joke where your answer was but it was a real,
answer but it was your wife and the whole place loved,
it and you got a really great reaction out of.
It when you get a, reaction it's like ear. Emboldened oh,
yeah because there were some.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Jokes now once, again we probably shot an hour's worth
for a half hour, show and really it's a twenty
two minute. Show they chop up a lot of things,
there but you, know just behind the, scenes being there doing,
it going out on. Stage once we put our name.
Tags it was weird once SO i put my name tag,
On i'm, like oh, boy this is. Real and then
(07:58):
we had to talk To there were a couple of
ladies who were teaching, us telling us about what you're
allowed to. Do the executive, Producers, hey you can do,
this can't do. This so we're all, gathered you, know
behind some. Curtains so it's Rich eiesen show in then
hours and they're going over all the rules does and.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Don'ts And i'm, going oh my, god don't screw this.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Up and then all of a, sudden LIKE i was
ONCE i saw that you guys were, confident THEN i was.
Fine it WAS i just AND i Think marvin when
he Says aquaman as what kind of superhero would you
be in the? Bedroom that was WHEN i was, like
if this, hits then we're gonna win this. Thing and
(08:41):
it did BECAUSE i, Thought, aquaman Who's aquaman in the?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Bedroom unless You're.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Jason, Momoa well, okay But aquaman IS i don't. Know
it's not the SUPERHERO i would expect in the. Bedroom
but you Said, aquaman and it, hit and THEN i,
went we'll win this. Thing it was just, weird weird
comp but it's there going into. It MAYBE i didn't
have as much, confidence BUT i thought we. Didn't we
handled it pretty.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Well yes.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
See well that's the thing like when you're doing a
show like, that it's a. Lot it's a real hurry
up and wait kind of thing where you're waiting around all.
Day maybe it's waiting hurry, up but you're waiting around
all day to like go do. This and then they're,
like all, right, guys come, on we're gonna walk you
through the. Rules and then like all, right we're gonna

Speaker 3 (09:40):
Now, well actually they said all, right like come on up,
here we'll do a rehearsal question AND i screwed up
hitting the buzzer and THEN i got scolded like you're
not allowed to lift your. HAND i go, okay AND
i did, that and then you, KNOW i came up
there for the first. One it was Like superhero AND
(10:01):
i Went superman and then we were off to the.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Races, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 7 (10:04):
YEAH i think the first round of The superhero, one

no time. Out we're, producers we control the timing of the.
Show we were at their beck and, call and when
it's coming down to you and you See steve walking
down to. You unlike other sports, shows like Sports. Jeopardy
you choose when to get. In you have no. Choice
seet AND i were sitting there on one AND i
(10:25):
can't remember the category and we're whispering Like ventriloicus on
the rest and, goes you got. Anything i'm, Like i'm, blanking,
Man i'm, blanking and the woman holds up stop talking
and stop. Talking we weren't allowed to. COLLABORATE i.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
KNOW i tried to do that With marvin BECAUSE i
knew it was going to come back to, me and
then it Was. Marvin after, THAT i, said you, got
you got anything for? Me And marvin, goes, Yeah i'll have,
something but he added for, himself not, me mouthed and.

Anything, yeah, Yeah i'm trying to Like, marvin you Got.
Speaker 4 (11:00):

Speaker 8 (11:01):
Funny we won in a dominating, fashion but it's the
ones that you don't get killing.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
You, okay yes we.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Win and THEN i have friends who former friends, now
but they're sending me text messages making fun of the
last QUESTION i got in The Fast. Money it was
like berries you put in a cereal bowl AND i
don't Hear, steve and you, know we were all, there
AND i, GO i didn't hear.
Speaker 2 (11:28):

let me see you in those hot lights.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
There. Yes.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Right and that's the other thing that you don't get
is when you're watching the, show it comes at you really.
Fast so we're doing this superhero one in the, bedroom.
RIGHT i think most of our first answers, LANDED i,
think or at least a few of them did right
where those were. Easy but then all of a, sudden
there's seven answers and six of them are, taken and
(12:10):
your group is still.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Going you're, like uh, man all, right so a whole.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Bunch we've probably guessed nine answers already two of them were,
wrong six of them or. Whatever, yeah and you're, like
who is the last one that's the one that sticks with?
Me actually is the answer Was? Thor and it's, like
oh of course it Was, thor damn. It but when
you're up there And steve is working his way down the,
line and you're, LIKE i just need one.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Answer who the hell is? It you're, LIKE i don't.
Know is there a guy named like awesome lover? MAN

Speaker 4 (12:35):
KNOW i don't know what it is.

said four and Then steve say why thor it goes
BECAUSE i bring the?
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Hammer, yeah it's.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Perfect was that was their great line because they didn't
give him a lot of. AIRTIME i, said let's take
it and not give it back to them and let
him watch us.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
DOMINATE i thought when we gave them The superhero, ONE

(15:22):
sudden we looked over and here Was Charles barkley coming
up and he greeted me by, Saying, dan you're a.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Coward, dan why don't you play in this? TOURNAMENT i
guess you injured this. Year, dan this is the best
week of a.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
YEAR i would play IF i could play with, you
BECAUSE i know THAT i would beat.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
You then you can't beat. Me now you had the
worst odds to win this. THING i don't even understand.
THAT i. Do, NO i don't even understand that because
last YEAR i came in fifty. Eighth so how did
they have that's thirty more? People how can they have?
Me did Last IF i beat thirty some people last?
Year i'm all, Right i'm betting on you to better
(16:04):
your score from last. Year well they got me top sixty, five, Right,
Yeah i'm gonna beat.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
That i'm going under me. Too, yeah how much you
got to bet on?
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Yourself, well last YEAR i. HAD i want to bet
five hundred thousand dollars on, them and did you? So,
no this true. STORY i placed the bet and then
they tell ME i can't do. It they say it's
illegal for me better, MYSELF i, said which is, Total but,
YES i might. ADD i guess they KNEW i was gonna,
(16:32):
win but they told me it's illegal for you to
bet on. Yourself i'm, like IF i bet myself to,
lose that would be, illegal but boxers get to bet on.
THEMSELVES i don't. KNOW i think they were just full of,
crap to be honest with, You, DAN i would have
placed the bet for. YOU i would like you to do. That, so,
yeah they told me it was, illegal WHICH i didn't.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Understand, okay so you can give me five hundred, thousand,
yes AND i can bet on.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
You.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Yes let's see if they take that this, year and
DO i get a finder's fee or DO i Get
did you put any money? In, no you didn't put
any money. In so IF i, lose so you gotta
find an unfound. Fee.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
No what's the number one question basketball wise that you'll
get out?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
HERE i have.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
NOT i just got in last. NIGHT i have not
been asked any basketball question. Yet to be honest with,
YOU i have not been asked one basketball. Question i've
only did probably two quick interviews nothing just the most
formal One i've. Done BUT i have not been asked
one basketball. Question but the answer your question was the
(17:46):
number one Question i'm probably gonna be asked is how
close out The rockets to the Thunder and who's going
to be favored in The, east which are two very
good questions BECAUSE i don't know because basketball is not
played on papers played in the gym uh AND i
have no idea who the favorite in The. East did
The rockets get the? Better probably are as good As Oklahoma?
(18:08):
CITY i don't, Know but the caution with The, East
i'd have to do some serious thinking BECAUSE i like
the mouse turner going With. Giannis The knicks are gonna
be Solid. ORAN i like What orlando. Did atlanta had
(18:32):
a great, office did. Well but all that stuff is
just window. Dressing when that when when the basketball starts In,
october that's when it. Started everything looks great on.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Paper DeAndre ayton going to The? Lakers does? That what's
the what's that?
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Solve they got, Bigger they got, bigger but their, best
second best player is going to be forty, one forty
two years? Old can he stay? Healthy Is Luca luca
gonna be in? Shape are they better in The? Rockets
are they better In Oklahoma? City are they better Than?
(19:11):
Denver those are great. QUESTIONS i don't just because Because
aiden his TRACK i gotta go by his track, record
and it's not a good track. Record did they needed
a big? Guy but are they better In Oklahoma? City
In houston Or? DENVER i would not say.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
So.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
No do you think you know more about football than
you do? BASKETBALL i admire football more THAN i do.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Basketball it takes a tremendous amount of courage to play.
FOOTBALL i played for one day AND i REALIZED i
was a. PUSS i was, like, damn they really are
hid not.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Here but you you were a big guy in high.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
SCHOOL i wasn't that. BIG i grew from five ten
to sixty, five BUT i was like five ten WHEN
i played football at one. Day but even, now to
go out on the football, field you can. Cheat in.
Basketball you don't have to play. Defense you can be
a one way offensive. Player you can you know you can.
Cheat you cannot cheat in football if you step on
that football. Field it's kind the same thing with. Boxing
(20:14):
the reason football and boxing of my two favorite. Sports
it takes tremendous. Courage you cannot step on a football
field if you're not all, In you're gonna have to.
QUIT i, mean it's just. Dangerous same thing with. Boxing
you can't cheat football in. Boxing you can cheat in
some other, sports but in, football in boxing you have
to be all.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
IN i think best athletes are hockey players to do
it on the ice well with the. Sticks they get
to hit you with the.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Sticks, WELL i would love to beat the hell out
of some people and only get and only get punished
for two. Minutes can you imagine that you get to
knock the hell out of somebody and only get punished
for two. Minutes that would be A that'd be like
a dream come.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
True, okay how many players would you look in back
like to have THAT i get to beat you up
AND i am only out two minutes for Roughing.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Bill, lambert mL, Car Papa. Jones Because Papa jones there
one player who dominated me every TIME i played against.
HIM i would love to just knock the hell out
of him for two.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Minutes when you See, lambert you're.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Good we're, good you, know, dude all this stuff should be. Good,
dude he's sixty year. Old if you're sixty years old
and still, fighting you a. Punk anybody who's still fighting,
Sixty anybody who's fighting past twenty five is a. Punk
like if you're a grown, person you know you young
and dumbans, too but you get in a fight every
now and. Then but once you're a grown, person you
(21:44):
shouldn't be. Fighting anybody fighting once you pass thirty is
just a. Loser you see these videos with people out here,
Fighting you say to, yourself what a damn. Food what an?
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Idiot where would you be if you didn't play?
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Basketball, wow that's a great. QUESTION i believe my work
ethic would make me. Successful BUT i don't know Because
i've never did anything but. Basketball BUT i believe my
work ethic in basketball help me be, successful cause you
(22:18):
got to have more than talent to be. Successful BUT
i probably would be like a regular, worker like in
a factory, somewhere because nobody's gonna ever has going to
SAY i didn't work, hard BUT i wasn't going to
be overly. Smart i'm not going to tell that. Lie
(22:39):
BUT i THINK i would have been successful as something
probably better have been factory.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Related But, okay when do you get that? Personality when
you realize you have? Personality?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
When? When when can you? Entertain when can you make people? Laugh?
Well that should be, easy but you were in high,
school you in? College no.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Not it didn't have UNTIL i got to THE nba
ONCE i Realized i'd made. It, see your life happiness
should be dictated by how good your life. Is Like,
dan anybody who plays sports should be the happiest person
in the. World you think about. It we get paid
a gazillion dollars to do something that's. Stupid think about,
(23:21):
it And i'm not saying that to be humbled Every
LIKE i was sitting there WHEN i first started making my,
like these people are paying me millions of dollars to
dribble a stupid ass. Basketball they're paying me the millions
of dollars to wear. SHOES i should always be in
a good, mood AND i really live my. Life people, say,

i will not be in a good mood like EVERY
nba player to be, like, man these people are paying
me millions of dollars to dribble a stupid. Ball like
my first contract was four, years two million, dollars five
pick in the. Draft that guy today is probably gonna
(24:02):
get a four year deal for thirty forty. Million he
should be happy from day. ONE i was happy from day.
One so my song Where Devin booker got to your.
Extension he's gonna get over seventy million dollars a. Year

we'll continue With Charles barkley right after.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
This be sure to catch the live edition Of The
Dan Patrick show weekdays at nine Am eastern six Am
pacific On Fox Sports. Radio and The iHeartRadio. Wap we'll
try to.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Get to some more phone calls here coming up eight
seven to seven to THREE dp show Operator tylie's sitting
by take your phone.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Calls we spent some time yesterday With Charles.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Barkley we gave you part, one then we went to
commercial break and we promised part. Two AND i started
out by Asking Charles barkley how easy it was to
get in trouble on the road when he was Playing
it's very easy to get in.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Trouble you got, drugs you got, alcohol you got women.
Troubles troubles are always there at. Trouble you have to
go on the road to get in. Trouble it's at home.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Too but who helps you navigate that when you get
to THE, nba because you know.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
How it helps you. Navigate you got to surround. Yourself
the first thing you gotta do is get rid of
your family and friends because they're the biggest freeloaders and
they'll never tell you. No they'll use up all your money,
too and they and they won't tell you. No you
got to surround yourself with a few people who number
one will tell you, no tell you how to invest your.
Money how to save your? Money tell, you, hey you
(26:33):
had too much to. DRINK i don't think we should
be doing this, pot, cocaine all these. Drugs, uh that's
the hardest thing surrounding yourself with people because these kids
got the same. Stuff they they just got more of
it and they got more. Money but you got there's,
(26:54):
women there's, alcohol there's. Drugs, uh there's that's every, where
whether you at home or on the. Road and sometimes
they can all get you in trouble if you don't control,
them and they're readily available depending on how much money you. Got,
well how did you not get in? Trouble Or i've
done stupid? THINGS i never got into the drug. Thing
(27:15):
you'd smoke pot? Before, yeah five. TIMES i don't understand.
It you, know my friends keep trying to get me
to smoke. POT i don't smoke, pot like five. Times
it just makes me want potato. Chips it doesn't do
anything for. Me dan and my friends love, it AND i, say,
oh y'all can do. It i'm just not gonna do.
It but pot does nothing for. ME i just don't understand.
(27:37):
It i've, OneD i, SAID i Think i've done, it
maybe four five. Times at the boat and they're, like
you got to try, this this, Whatever And i'm, like,
yeah what a laced potato chips and prinkles. Up But
i've never gotten involved with. DRUGS i probably did some
stupid stuff with, women for, sure but, man it's there
(27:58):
if you want.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
It but also when you think about, it if you
go to a, team a bad team or a, team
that that's the.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Culture, yeah but.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
Every guy's not involved in the. Culture like there's. Guys
what guys on Teams i've been, on they like to do.
Drugs you don't have to hang out with those. Guys
but the inn bottom. Mine you gotta make your own.
DECISIONS i chose not to do. DRUGS i didn't judge
other guys who did. Drugs that's. Them there's GUYS i
probably drank too much BECAUSE i like to. Drink BUT
(28:30):
i think the biggest thing you need to be a
great players have a good coaching. Staff that's probably the
most important, thing the coaching. STAFF i think more players
get ruined by bad coaching staffs because the coaches are.
Cowards they're scared of the. Coach LIKE i wanted a Pat.
RILEY i had a great, Coach Billy cunningham Or Greg.
Popovich but most of these coaches today they're cowards because
(28:51):
the players make so much. Money they don't have money.
Control the players run the team and the coach needs
to realize that player gonna get him. Fired. Right but
we have taken the power from the coaches away because
the players make so much. Money BUT i say bad
coaches have ruined more players than anything in THE.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
NBA i was wondering this question if this would be
asked On lebron's, podcast and tell me how you would interpret.
This let's Say Steve nash says To Kevin durant And
lebron is, there and he, says do you think you're
better Than? Lebron do you think it's a fair question
to ask? Kd and what do you think kat would? Say,
(29:35):
WELL i think all questions are. Fair you had a
right to answer. THEM i Think katie his answer should be,
yes you got to always thank.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
You you can't be a great. Player if you thank
other players a, venue they gonna have to prove they're
better than. You. DO i think kat is.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
As good As.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
LEBRON i do not BECAUSE i don't think you have
his leadership. Qualities but that's a fair, question BUT i
can answers sh be.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yes but did you think you were?
Speaker 4 (30:02):
Better? Yes, yes?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Yes did you think you were better Than?
Speaker 4 (30:06):
Jordan's?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Yes was there anybody you didn't think you were better Than?
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Dan let me tell you, this And i've talked about
this public. BEFORE i did not Think Michael jordan was
betting me till he beat me in the, finals because
WHEN i WHEN i was In, philly we actually had
success against, them and then they got good and then
they beat us in the playoffs one. Year BUT i
(30:33):
thought of just because he had some better players around.
Him WHEN i got trade The, PHOENIX i, Says Chuck
day had told. Me he, says you're the second best
player in the. WORLD i, Said i'm the best player
in the. World he, says, no that guy right over
there's the best player in the. WORLD i, said, Well
i'm gonna prove it to your ass this year when
we played them in the, finals he. Says chuck, SAYS
(30:56):
i didn't realize how great you were except getting to
watch you play every, day how easy the game is for.
You you can play with. Anybody this is doing the
dream team. Practice AND i, SAID i, Said Chuck i'm
the best player in the. World i'm gonna prove it to.
YOU i, Said we're going to play The bulls in the.
Finals AND i remember telling the guys that going in training.
(31:18):
CAMP i, said we're going to play the bulls in the.
Finals how you know, THAT i, said Because i'm the
best damn player in the world And i'm gonna prove.
IT i, Said we're gonna play the bulls And i'm
gonna Prove i'm a best player in the. World AND
i remember going home After game. Two my daughter was,
upset crying because we lost the first two. GAMES i, says,
(31:39):
hey just, Relax we're gonna be. FINE i, said BUT
i gotta tell you. SOMETHING i ain't never said this
in my. LIFE i think that guy might be better
at basketball THAN i. Am AND i, said BUT i
Think i'm better and we'll be. Fine then we Win game,
three Lose game, four win game, five come back home
For game, six and my DAUGHTER i, SAY i told
(32:01):
YOU i Think i'm the best player in the. World
i'm gonna prove. It then they beat. US i Remember
Taylor haw, SAYS i ain't never said to se before
that guy's better at basketball than. Me and that's the
first Time i'd ever because it's a team. Game but
ONCE i Got Dann, Marlin Kevin, JOHNSON i, said we
can beat. Anybody we can beat. Anybody but, YEAH i
Thought Michael jordan was a better player to. Me that's
(32:22):
the only PLAYER i ever played AGAINST i thought was
better than. Me Magic magic Had James worth And kareem
And magic is. Great you, know we owe all our
success in THE nba To Larry bird And Magic. Johnson
they're the two most important people in THE nba. History
they're the reason THE nba makes some. Money they Obviously
michael took it to a whole nother, level but it
went For Magic johnson And Larry, bird THE nba wouldn't
(32:43):
be what it was. Today playing and simple.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
What If bird doesn't injury this?
Speaker 4 (32:47):
Back we stated one of the greatest players. EVER i,
mean you, know is this a what was it a
ten year? CAREER i think it was more than, That
but you have to factor end though then the physicality
of the. Game we all had to go to college
for three and four. Years you, know these guys number,
one bless these, guys they make a deal how long
they Play number. One they never went to. College and
(33:10):
also there's no. Physicality you have to factor. In these guys.
PLAYED i played three years of. COLLEGE i Think bird
played four years of. College michael played three years of.
College Tim duncan played four years of. College David robinson
played four years of. College so you guys talk about
all these guys they, LIKE i, say and, listen it's
(33:31):
a different game now because no. Physicality but you have
to factor in all the years some of these guys
lost going to. COLLEGE i Think bird went to. COLLEGE
i mean you went to two or three SCHOOLS i
remember correct before it went to in down the state because,
uh but so but Bird, man he was.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Amazing it feels like there's all there's probably more stories
about bird that are told than any other player.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Because he was the best striss talker. Ever yeah you know,
So So Leon wood was one of my, teammates and
we're sitting in the locker room getting ready for the
three point shooting, contests and, YEA i was kind of
just talking To, leon trying to calm him down and
get all these three point shooters in. There barr comes
(34:17):
in and, says which one of you is gonna come
in second? Place, like which one of you gonna come
in second, Place so first words through the? Door which
one of you don't come in second? Place? Dan it was.
(34:38):
Over i'm sitting. Around nobody said. Nothing it was one
of the best. Scenes if, Like i'm looking, Around i'm
not in the, contest SO i can't say. Anything nobody
said a, word AND i, Said, MAN i wish we
had casinos we could bet onm gonna win this three
(35:00):
point shooting contest because nobody said a. THING i, MEAN
i was, like this thing is. Over this is a.
