all right, Dylan, whole question for hour two is going
to be one.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Oh, would you like a quick recap of hour one?

Speaker 4 (01:18):
For sure?

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Alrighty? The superstar you'd most want to play with Luka Doncik,
Shay Gilges, Alexander Nikola, Jokic or Victor Wemban Yama Forty
four percent say wemby m I, followed by Jokic. And
then I threw this one out there. Which of the
NFL international games would you most want to attend based
on the food of the city? Thirty eight percent say Madrid,

(01:42):
followed by thirty four percent for Perie.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
I have been to Australia. I have been to Rio,
I've been to London. I've been to Paris, haven't been
to Madrid, haven't been to Munich, been to Mexico City.
Those are the games that have been revealed. Adam Schefter
had this earlier. Is this all of the internet games?

Speaker 5 (02:00):
PAULI?

Speaker 6 (02:01):
I think that's it.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Okay, because we're going to get to the point where
every team will play an international game, and that's when
we get to eighteen and then that's going to be
sold as an international package. I've been telling you this
for the last couple of years, that this is where
we're headed. Eighteenth game, everybody is going to play an
international game. They want teams to have a hub headquarters.

(02:25):
That's that's our town, that's our city, that's our country.

Speaker 7 (02:30):
They want that.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
You got Melbourne, you got the Rams and the Niners.
You got the Cowboys and Ravens in Rio de Janeiro.
Weeks four through six. In London, it'll be Colts, Commanders, Eagles, Jags,
and then the Texans in the Jags. Week seven you'll
have Paris that will be the Saints and the Steelers.

(02:54):
Week nine Madrid that will be the Bengals and the Falcons.
Week ten be the Lions in the Patriots in Munich,
and then week eleven the Niners and Vikings in Mexico. Citty,
let's see one in Miami. Hi Wan, what's on your
mind today?

Speaker 8 (03:12):
Hi Dan?

Speaker 9 (03:13):
How are I'm calling from Miami? I see they released
the NSL international schedule, and I see the Jaguars are
playing twice in Europe and Miami got nothing. So what
did the Jaguars do during the day of all did
they just explore the different cities, are just curious. Thank you.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Well, they'll stay there in London, they'll be there for
a couple of weeks and just you know, stay acclimated
to the time change. But get ready for more of this.
This is what the NFL wants. The NFL wants expansion,
and expansion is not necessarily with games. That's not why
they're all in on flag football. They want flag football.

(03:50):
The NFL to be associated with flag football and vice versa.
That's why they wanted in the Olympics. Because you can
build globally flag football with the NFL logo on that.
It'd be hard for a lot of these different regions
in the world to be able to get the equipment,
you know, just the money to have a football team

(04:10):
or football teams or leagues. This way, with flag football,
you don't need anything. You need a football field, you
need flags, and you need a football. That's it. That's
what the NFL. The globalization because baseball has this. Baseball
has globalization, whether it's in the Dominican Republic or it's
in Puerto Rico, or it's in Japan, Korea. The NBA

(04:34):
has this as well. There's going to be an NBA
europe League. That's going to be happening very soon. Then
they'll be in the big cities talking to somebody who
his job is to bring two parties together to sell
portions of teams, whether it's baseball, football, basketball, soccer, and

(04:55):
he was saying that these price tags for these European
cities to get a European and NBA europe franchise are
going to surprise a lot of people of how much
they're going to spend.

Speaker 7 (05:08):
Yes, Paul.

Speaker 6 (05:09):
The other bonus for the NFL with these European games
now they have another window. They found that nine to
thirty am Eastern window. Even though it's wonky and you're like,
you're not ready for football yet, it's another window. On
a Sunday they have live NFL.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
The London games never look exciting. I don't know what
it is. You did it just they look slower. Maybe
the grass is a little higher, I don't know. It's
just weird when I watch a London game, I don't
know the last time I went man, was that a
shootout or wow?

Speaker 7 (05:41):
That was that was the best game of the day.

Speaker 10 (05:44):
Yes, Mark, you have the locals wearing like Troy Aikman Jerseys, saying, NFL.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Or you get Rob Low where he has just l
logo on his hats all the teams, Yes, Dylan, I
mean you are all.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Watching the Jags in the London game, so that could
contribute to.

Speaker 7 (06:03):
The slow look. Okay, but now it's a new look Jags.

Speaker 5 (06:08):
True.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yeah, so maybe those games will be exciting, But so
is that what you're saying.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Basically, how the Jags have basically conquered London. They're going
to try and do that with other So each team's
going to have their own hubs internationally, Yes.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
But this, you know, leading up to this the last
couple of years, I think there was a lot of
speculation that could Jacksonville, you know, move there, And I
think this is the NFL's way of saying, no, we
don't want to have a team in a designated city
or country. We want to share the wealth with the

(06:42):
rest of the world. I mean, the fact you're going
to Melbourne. Okay, it's a long way to go and
how many fans will be able to go, but it
might be really big, you know, with rugby in Melbourne,
and that you're going to get a great audience to
show up. You want to make sure you're filling those seats. Yes, deal, Yeah,

(07:04):
and they have.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Like Austie Rules football there, like that's probably a market
primed for it.

Speaker 7 (07:09):
I would think yeah, I would think so.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
And you could go out there and you're gonna have demonstrations.
Maybe you could play a rugby game for the media
when they come over there. Maybe you could get publicity.
I mean, the NFL, it's hard to screw up. It's
like March Madness. It's hard to screw it up. Like
they'll somehow figure it out or they'll move past some

(07:32):
kind of problem and we'll watch.

Speaker 5 (07:35):
Yeah. Deal.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Have they been able to quantify much of like a
true fan based growth in London for the Jags, because
like they've played there enough years now you'd think that
would have started to develop. But you, like Marvin said,
you look in the audience and you're like, oh, it's
a Michael Crabtree jersey. Like there's just all random.

Speaker 5 (07:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (07:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
With the love affairs, especially in that part of the country.
They love their soccer. But you know when you show
up and you're not wearing a jersey of somebody who's
actually on the team, that you're out there watching. Uh,
maybe it's just the novelty of being able to go
to see American football in person.

Speaker 6 (08:11):
Yes, it feels like the NFL thinks of Europe and
those other countries, like, why not let's do this over
the course of decades because we've maxed out America. There's
not a place in America where they're not aware of
the NFL. Why not go international?

Speaker 7 (08:24):

Remember sarkesian in one game needing to call up to
the booth and have his Ad Pat hayden come down
and do one of his arguments for, him BECAUSE i

(10:24):
think at the time he may have been a little.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Tipsy, yeah that's well documented With steve and his tenure AT.

Speaker 7 (10:33):
USC i just don't know where.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
This i'd like to know the context Of sarkesian taking
a shot at Ole miss talking About NOW i, KNOW
i think it's a ninety seven percent acceptance rate At Old.

Speaker 7 (10:45):
MISS i usually don't bring.

Speaker 2 (10:49):

it With Stanford Notre, dame.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Together and Then Steve starkesian bringing up basket weaving At Old?

then say? That Like Lane kiffen did a four hour
interview with The Vanity fair and you, know there was
a topic on recruiting and he got around, to, hey
you KNOW i had to deal with the parents and

(11:22):
grandparents not wanting to come here because of the racial
past Of Old. Miss Did Lane kiffen volunteer that he
tried to change? That like you can be critical Of Old.
Miss did you change.

Speaker 5 (11:38):
It in any?

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Way when were you made aware that there could be
parents and grandparents who didn't want their child or grandchild
to go? There and shouldn't you have done something about?
It and you're going TO lsu like? That that was
the thing that shocked me So Old. Miss imagine you wake,

(12:00):
up you're the, chancellor the, president and athletic. Director all
of a sudden you, go, hey we're trending today for anything. Good, no, no,
no they're bringing up segregation and they're bringing up basket.

Do they didn't do, Anything it's, like and Then Lane
kiffin gave the, hey if you were bothered by, THIS
i apologize not understanding why people might be bothered by.
This maybe diversity would have been a little better word than.
Segregation Martin Luther kiffin, here come, on they both had a. Dream,

(12:41):

The lakers game.

Speaker 7 (17:35):
Telecast how are you doing, Today James?

Speaker 5 (17:40):
Dan how are, you? Buddy always good to see, you.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Brother when did you know this season was going to
be shaky for The lakers or they might not have championship?

Speaker 14 (17:51):
ASPIRATIONS i think you, know right before The All Star,
game before The All star, break you, KNOW i had
doubt because the, chemistry you, know hadn't arrived. Yet you,
know everybody has. INJURIES i don't really say that was

(18:14):
a major, part but you, know Having luca come, in
he had a half a season last, year they didn't
really develop the cohesiveness that they they. Needed but After
All Star, break, okay they made a surge AND i
think they found their. IDENTITY jj had enrolled them into defense.

(18:37):
First but when you look at the makeup of the,
team you, KNOW i didn't see championship, quality you, know,
EVER i saw a team that could. Compete but when
you look At, Oklahoma San, antonio you, Know, detroit some
of the other teams That lakers just had not arrived there.
Yet there were still some missing, pieces are some development

(19:01):
that need to take.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
Place, okay but moving, forward let's say next, season do
you just kind of run it back with the same
guys that you're going to have, to you, know spend
money On, lebron spend money On Austin. Reeves do you
bring Back Ayton luca hopefully will be. Healthy so what
would your solution be for The lakers approach next.

Speaker 5 (19:22):
SEASON i think they definitely need to make some.

Speaker 14 (19:25):
CHANGES i don't think you could run it back with
the Same you Know Western conference teams that are going
to get, Stronger minnesota is going to get. STRONGER i
think one of the things that was lacking was in
the center. POSITION i Think ayton is a is a great.
PLAYER i don't know if consistently what we, need what

(19:51):
any team needs is A hartstein Like, oklahoma not necessarily a,
star but you need a. Bruiser you need somebody that
can say AND i think The lakers will be looking
at that. AREA i LIKE i Like. Hayes he was
a backup, center SO i like his. ENERGY i think
The lakers are very interested in Keeping Austin, reeves although

(20:16):
you know he would be a guy that would teams
would want if you were looking to make a big.
MOVE i think the big question is going to be
what's Then lebron's decision going to be and is he
going to come, back how much he's going to play?
For AND i think that's THE i think that's the
question of the.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Summer you don't want to run into a situation like
The steelers have With Aaron, rodgers where you're kind.

Speaker 7 (20:39):
Of waiting and waiting and waiting.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Out like when is the point where The lakers can, Say,
lebron we need to know what you want to do
so we can move forward as.

Speaker 5 (20:49):
Well it's been a couple of, days a few.

Speaker 14 (20:53):
DAYS i would hope that they, are you, know discussing
those possibilities right now with the new ownership and the
new you, know personnel that's coming in in the front. Office,
uh it's it's not necessarily the the mom and pop
approach that we're used to with families all and you.

(21:14):
GET i think they're going to, demand you, know decision,
uh and so that's yet to be, seen BUT i
WOULD i, WOULD i would think you know that in
the next you, know a couple of, weeks they want to, know,
hey look what are your? Options you know what this
is your you, know you're forty one years. Old what
do you want to?

Speaker 5 (21:32):
Do first of?

Speaker 14 (21:33):
All and go from there because you, know time is
valuable as they start to make these decisions about the
future of The.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
Lakers talking To James, worthy hall Of famer and number
one overall pick back in nineteen eighty two by The,
lakers when did you get a sense That Michael jordan
was better than?

Speaker 14 (21:51):
You, well you, KNOW i have that famous line THAT
i you know. THAT i always quote tell PEOPLE i
was a. Junior michael was a, freshman and you KNOW i.
WAS i was better than he. Was you, know for
about two WEEKS i. KNEW i knew, that you, know

(22:13):
his freshman. Year you could you could tell something about
a person's. Personality and he wasn't exactly like Like. Edwards you,
know and ed was is he's on The olympic team talking.

Speaker 5 (22:24):
Trash he.

Speaker 14 (22:24):
Doesn't michael had, that and he always wanted to like
challenge you like he wanted. To he KNEW i was
the best guy on the, team so he wanted to
play one on one all the. Time SO i knew
about the first really about the first month of practice
that this guy has something.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
Special when you go to The lakers and you have
to accept a, ROLE i mean you could have played
for you, know throw out a team and probably average
twenty seven to twenty eight a game if you wanted.
To but you have to kind of convince yourself or
how do you convince. YOURSELF i might be the third
option on this, team But i'm all a great team

(23:01):
as opposed to being a star in the number one guy.

Speaker 14 (23:04):
Elsewhere, YEAH i MEAN i think a lot of that
had to do with playing for a coach Like Dean,
smith who he didn't care if you were the towel
boy Or Michael, Jordan you're, gonna you, know submit to
being the. Team and you, KNOW i had Met magic
on a college visit In Michigan. STATE i Knew mitch Cup,

(23:27):
CHET i Knew bob. McAdoo so WHEN i knew they were,
INTERESTED i KNEW i wasn't. GONNA i wasn't gonna, start you.
Know SO i knew the concept of. TEAMS i Knew
kareem Abdul jabbar had played four years With john wood

Magic Norm.

Speaker 5 (24:02):
Nixon and and and and THEN i and THEN.

Speaker 14 (24:05):
I Saw Kirk ramas coming the, gym AND i, said

week and he smells Like Ben.

Speaker 5 (24:14):
Gay he's got all this stuff.

Speaker 14 (24:16):
On he's got this duct tape holding his glasses, together
AND i was, LIKE i can get that. Position i'm,
QUICKER i can score well within five. Minutes Kirk rammers
let me know what AN nba power forward. WAS i
didn't want to have anything to do with.

Speaker 5 (24:30):
It.

Speaker 14 (24:31):
DAN i went over there and sit in my hands
Behind bob McAdoo At Kirk rammers AND i. Waited, man
he beat the crap out of him AND i couldn't take.
It AND i became a small forward after.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
That you, know but teams back then had an, enforcer
AND i was wondering about that With Victor. Windenyama you
don't in today's. Game you don't have that Designated Charles. Oakleigh.
Uh you, Know Jeff, ruling, like, guys we're going to
rough you up a little bit. Here that Does San

(25:01):
antonio need that kind of guy to help Protect Victor?

Speaker 7 (25:04):
Winbanyama you have to protect your.

Speaker 5 (25:07):
Asset, okay.

Speaker 9 (25:10):
We.

Speaker 14 (25:11):
Did we didn't even speak to each other after the.
Game you, KNOW i see guys all hugging up after
the game all the.

Speaker 5 (25:16):
Time we.

Speaker 14 (25:17):
Didn't you, know we might, point we'll see you at
the restaurant or, something but you do have to protect your.
Asset he should not have to, be, uh you, know the,
enforcer although you know you gotta. Be you got to
meet force with, force which he's he does and he's
capable of someone on that team has, to you, know
be the enforcer protect him from all that type of.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
Stuff can you Compare Victor winbanyama to Prime kareem when
you got there with The?

Speaker 14 (25:44):
Lakers not, really you, Know, Uh victor is a unique.
SPECIMEN i mean he's A Steph curry your shooter With
Kobe bryant agility and you know defense Like Bill. Russell
we've never seen anything like. It the way he. MOVES

(26:05):
I i saw him bring the ball up the court
maybe twenty times last, night spinning and he's a great
assist guy we've never. Seen i'd like to see him
at that aspect of his, game somewhere in the game
where they would post him up Like. Kareem he thought
it wouldn't even be a sky, hook it'd be a sky,

(26:26):
dunk but he just. Dunked So but, yeah he's he's
got many talents and he's going to get. Better he
has he has the right, attitude he wants to win And,
uh He's he's a, great great addition to THE nba for.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
Sure why is it more big men didn't adopt The kareem.

Speaker 14 (26:44):
Skyhook it's it's, odd, right you, know it's such a beautiful.
Shot BUT i don't think people realize how difficult this shot.
Was you, know there were many parts to. It it
was it was, footwork it was it was, eyesight and
it was. Timing you, Know, kareem he would look you

(27:05):
off with his, eyes he would fake you with the,
past and then he would step in with precision and
and and you couldn't get to. It if if you
tried to get to, it you would have your whole
face reconstructed with that with that. Elbow so you, KNOW
i think he tried to teach, guys but you, know
it wasn't like you, know as as the game started to,

(27:26):
evolve it wasn't. Pretty you, know guys wasn't posting. UP
i don't even think guys do to know what the
mic and drill is. Anymore But, kareem you, know that's
the most beautiful.

Speaker 5 (27:36):
Shot.

Speaker 14 (27:37):
Uh and in, SPORTS i think it dominates the. DUNK
i THINK i think it's more more beautiful and you
know than than the dunk, itself.

Speaker 7 (27:46):
The most unstoppable shot IN nba, History.

Speaker 5 (27:50):
Yes without.

Speaker 14 (27:50):
QUESTION i, mean, uh you know When Larry bird got,
hot you know that jump or, that But, kareem there
was no stopping. It and had it had the counter to,
it you, know he shoot forty nine scot hooks and
then when you thought you had, it he drops step
and shoot an easier lay.

Speaker 5 (28:05):
Up he was just a.

Speaker 14 (28:07):
Masterful and you, know for me being on the other
side of the post and just watching it from, like you,
know eight feet, AWAY i didn't realize WHAT i was
watching until like right now When i'm talking to, you
it's it's just. Science hopefully we'll see another shot like,
That BUT i can't even think of a shot, that you,
know compares to the skyhook that that will.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Last every time that we have you, ON i always
think back to you telling the story when you're in
the garden and you're, guarding you're supposed to Guard larry
and you lose sight of him and he's got the
jumper in the corner to win the.

Speaker 7 (28:46):
Game, Yeah and did you ever talk To bird.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
About, LIKE i don't know how you, guys when you
guys get, together do you swap stories do you, have you,
KNOW i don't.

Speaker 14 (28:58):
Know never never talked To, bird you, know after after
our last time. PLAYING i, MEAN i THINK i saw
him at A hall Of. Fame we might have adapped
up and, uh but we never talked about that.

Speaker 5 (29:10):
Play but, yeah that was A that was an awesome.

Speaker 14 (29:13):
PLAY i Had Larry bird at like the free throw
line extended on the baseline And Danny ainge was in
the corner And cooper was guarding.

Speaker 5 (29:25):
Him SO i thought it was gonna be some kind of.
Picking we were gonna.

Speaker 14 (29:28):
Switch what happened is they Cleared Danny inge out baseline
and And Larry bird pushed me up and they threw
that ball.

Speaker 5 (29:37):
Over AND i got to tell, You, dan he doesn't.
Miss he doesn't.

Speaker 14 (29:43):
Miss And i've never told anybody, this BUT i THINK
i peed on myself a little bit when.

Speaker 6 (29:51):
When that.

Speaker 14 (29:51):
Ball when he got that, ball, MAN i was, like
oh my, god. Damn AND i was, like but he missed.
It he saw me. Coming he must seen his peripheric.
VISION i don't know if that distracted. HIM i doubt
that it, did but, yeah so there it, is. Man
that Was that was a big.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Moment could you have imagined What riley would have said
to you If larry hits that, shot could you had
your job is to make Sure larry doesn't beat.

Speaker 14 (30:19):
Us how many people have succeeded at? THAT i would
have been added to the list of people that. Failed you,
know it was a great. Play it was a great.
Play and you know it's like you don't stop magic
sky hook that many.

Speaker 5 (30:36):
Skyhook you, know you don't stop.

Speaker 14 (30:37):
Magic you don't Stop, michael you, know Against cleveland When
craig had great defense on, him and you, know it
was just a great. Play when they Cleared dannie, OUT
i was on top side. Denying MAYBE i shouldn't have been,
denying but When coop was down, there but when they
Cleared danie, out it was nothing but. Space AND i
would have blamed it on.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
Somebody how often do you See Michael?

Speaker 7 (31:02):
Jordan you, know?

Speaker 14 (31:04):
Rarely you, KNOW i see him IN nba. Events sometimes

Speaker 14 (32:17):
James oh, wait and always get to see you, brother
the best forced player AND uh and sports.

Speaker 7 (32:23):
Announcer thank, You. James thank.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
You James, worthy three time champ with The lakers and
studio analysts For Spectrum Sports. Net, yeah when he tells
that story and you watch the video and he. Loses
So Michael cooper's in the corner Guarding Danny, ainge And
worthy thinks he's going to get help From. Cooper If
bird gets the, Ball ainge clears. Out bird drifts to the,

(32:48):
corner pushes. Off unworthy has a jumper and it rattles
in and, out and that's When magic had the incredible
hook shot. There and to be in the garden that
day and to go into The lakers locker, room and
that locker room was worse than any high school locker

(33:08):
room That i've ever been.

Speaker 7 (33:09):
In there was no there was no luxury in.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
There it was and they probably had you, know lead
paint in.

Speaker 7 (33:20):
There it was.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Rare if they had hot, water they probably had as
best as in. There AND i just remember it was
so small to go in, there and so much champagne
being sprayed. Around and THEN i went into The celtics locker.
Room The celtics locker room is obviously, nicer BUT i
remember going in, there and you, know they always were.

Speaker 7 (33:43):
Talking to the media after the.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
Game it's not like you didn't have a press conference back,
then at LEAST i don't. Remember you'd have to go
to locker room locker to locker to, locker AND i
went To bird and. McHale i remember And bird talking
about that. Shot AND i think that like the shot
on his, face that he missed that. Shot he couldn't

(34:07):
believe that he missed that. SHOT i, mean he doesn't
miss that, shots you, know particularly in the. Garden BUT
i do think That worthy might have Gotten larry, peripheral
like just see him coming and maybe getting that shot
off a little. Quicker but that Was magic hit the.
Skyhook unbelievable and he shot at over two guys Who

(34:28):
perish and, McHale and to get a skyhook over McHale
who was six eleven seven feet and wingspan probably made
him seven to. Eight And magic hit that. Shot and
if you would have, said, hey The lakers won on
a sky, hook you wouldn't have said. Magic but that's
how incredible he. Was all, Right, well take a break
