batch of Azalea moonshine? That might be the best one
we've done. And I say that because I had no
idea what azalea would taste like. But it tastes like
(01:12):
azalea awesome, springtime, augusta something. But it tastes great.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Birds chirp and you open it.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yes, and then you open up the bottle and Jim
Nance says, hello, friends, your bottle may vary watermelon moonshine.
We still have a little bit of that left as well,
and some Dead Dad's Club. Have we restocked that seaton
with the Dead Dad's Club with the shot classes? Not yet,

No, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Maybe, Okay, we're trying to all right, all right. I
think it's pretty awesome if we're able to do this.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves. I know we
tend to Danpatrick dot com.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Yes, Paul, maybe there should be a separate holiday called
I don't have a Father's Day because Father's Day for
those of us whose dads aren't around is quite painful.
But maybe we could collectively have like we have the DDC.
Maybe there's a different holiday.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I don't know. Boo hoo, Dad's not around.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
You're in the same boat.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Boo who. It's like, all right, it's not around. And
Marvin's dad is dead. To him, that's a day off.
You never had to buy your dad a gift? Yeah? Oh,
what you'd have to double up on Mother's Day though.
H yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:46):

minutes and forty nine seconds in, but here we are.
Damn Shay. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, thank
you for downloading the app. You can watch all of
this mess unfold with thirteen cameras in here. Danpatrick dot
com Twitter handle a DP show SA. Good morning to
(03:10):
our radio affiliates around the world, Fox Sports Radio, iHeartRadio
as well. Edmondton Oilers. They squeak by. The Canucks advanced
to the Western Conference Finals. They'll face the Stars. This
is what I'm looking for today.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Now I'm going to try to program ESPN for you,
and I try not to do that because I have
no idea what they're thinking anymore. But you have the
Stars in the Western Conference Finals, you have the MAVs
in the Western Conference Finals. So here is your topic
bar for the shows today. More pressure on the Cowboys now.
(03:46):
Now the Stars and the MAVs are doing well. Question Mark.
The most popular team now they can't even do that.
One most popular team in Dallas Cowboys the most computer
team in the NFL. But I'm waiting for that. How
do we shoehorn this into get the Cowboys in there?
(04:07):
Or to us contract? Do they extend him Jack's contract?
Question Mark. It's there's a couple of different topics each
day that you go, how do we work lebron into this?
You know Bronnie's combine and you know people talking about
how well he did. You know, the number one bet
with the basketball draft is Bronnie will go number one overall. Now,
(04:33):
I don't know how many bets there are when it
comes to the draft, but DraftKings Vegas saying that if
you know a lot of people are betting that Bronnie
would go number one, I don't know what the odds
are with that, and it won't happen, but it's kind
of fun to have that ticket. Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I saw that story and I really thought it was
a joke or a misprint or something like that, because
we're not expert gamblers, but we know the basics of gambling,
and when a bet cannot happen, cannot cash, you don't
make it. I know the odds if you bet on
Bronnie James to be the number one overall pick must
be like one thousand to one. Actually I got two
hundred to one, and one of the bet websites said
(05:10):
twenty two point five percent of all their bets on
the number one pick is Bronnie James.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Okay, but how much money is being bet? I don't
care that you have that many, right, you might do. Hey,
I'm going to bet five dollars, but isn't that ten dollars?
That's giving your money away? Yes, but you do that
when you go to a casino, you eventually give it away.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
True, But when you play a hand of blackjack, you
could play you could just y'all hit hit hit, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
But you're gonna have that forever that you bet on
Brownie going number one overall. It feels like it's more
of a keepsake than anything else.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
All right.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Uh So By the way the All Rookie Team was
announced in the NBA, Victor win bay Yama was unanimous.
Chet Holmgren in his second year is on the All
Rookie Team. If you're Chet Holmgren, do you want to
be on the All Rookie team in your second year?
Because he couldn't play his first year and my thought is, yeah,
he might have incentives in his contract if he made
(06:02):
All Rookie Team that he got something. So he basically
had a gap year when he was hurt and he
played really well this year. So he's part of the
All Rookie Team with Victor Wembayana, Congratulations Chad Holmgreen. Scotty
Scheffler has a court date. It'll be June third, and
tonight Pacers at the Celtics. It's game one. It's the
(06:23):
Eastern Conference Finals, and now the pressure gets ratcheted up.
Playoffs are missing a lot of familiar faces when you
think about it, so no Lebron, no Steph, no KD,
no Joker, and the lack of former champs feels like
there's even more pressure building in Boston and rightfully so,
(06:43):
this has been like a half a decade here that
they've been flirting with winning a title in the Eastern
Conference Finals going to the NBA Finals. The team lost
to the Warriors in twenty twenty two in the finals.
Twenty twenty three lost to the Miami Heat in the
Eastern Conference Finals. And now here we are. Now you
got your great chance. DraftKings currently has Boston as a
(07:05):
heavy favor to win the title. So after years of
underperforming in the postseason, no better opportunity than this. And
I was looking back on some of the numbers here.
Jalen Brown twenty twenty three Eastern Conference Finals, he shot
seventeen percent from three point range in the series against
the Miami heam scored under twenty points in four out
(07:27):
of the seven games. Jason Tatum twenty twenty two NBA Finals,
scored twelve points in Game one against the Warriors. He
shot seventeen percent, scored thirteen in Game six, shot thirty
three percent from the field. Now, both players have played
well in the playoffs so far. Jalen Brown, I think
(07:47):
is making sixty million dollars a year. Hey, he signed
that three hundred million dollar contract. We should expect championships
out of them. Why not? And Jason Tatum, I know
people keep trying to shoehorn him in and he could
be the face of the NBA. I don't think he
wants to be the face of the NBA. I think
(08:09):
he just is a really good player. But we've seen
him get a little tight when you know, the games
get bigger, spotlight gets a little bit brighter. They should win.
They've had nothing in their way. The Heat were banged
up with Jimmy Butler, there's no Yiannis, Joe Ellenbiid was
banged up. You know, even the Knicks, if they had
(08:30):
gotten there, they would have been banged up. You're facing
a pacer team that most people don't realize who they
are and if they're that good, And now you don't
have the joker on the other end, no Lebron, no
steph you're gonna have Anthony Edwards or Luca So no stars,
then no excuses. They should win and you start And
(08:52):
we were trying to think of this yesterday. When's the
last time a team had to win a championship like
there was no uses. You were expected to win that
championship And it doesn't happen very often because there's always
the possibility of what if, What if that team gets hot.
What if somebody gets injured? But how many times in
(09:13):
recent sports history? And I brought up the Dodgers. I
brought up the Dodgers a couple of years ago. It
was a relief that they won the title. The Atlanta
Braves back in the mid nineties, they won a title.
It was a relief because they had been there so
many times. I don't know if the Bulls like the Bulls,
I never felt like there was pressure that they had
(09:34):
to win. I just thought they're going to win. I
never ever go, wow, they better win. Never thought that
for a moment. Yeah, Marv, what about the Pistons? Would
Isaiah Thomas?
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Was that a sire relief for those guys because they
were so close with the Celtics and then losing a
next year against the Lakers. Was that a sire relief.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Maybe for them? I guess it was. But like they
were going through some pretty tough teams there, you know,
going through the Boston Celtics, and that Celtic team one
of the greatest of all time, and then they finally
beat them. Then they they had their little window and
then all of a sudden, Mike came along and then
there was a new bully on the block. But I
(10:17):
don't know if San Antonio, where I go, you gotta win,
unless it was nineteen ninety nine when they faced the
Knicks and no Patrick Ewing, But even then, I don't
remember that there was no build up. There's been a
build up for five or six years with this Boston team,
and because of the expectation level in Boston. You know,
Celtic fans expect their team to play for a championship
(10:39):
or win a championship. But I don't know if I
remember a team that hadn't won a title. I mean,
can you imagine if they don't win a title this year?
But I mean they had their young core, but in
their deep they play defense. I mean, they're statistically one
(11:00):
of the better teams in recent NBA history. Top five offense,
top five defense. You got a couple of stars, or
they're paid like stars. Here's here's the highest paid players
in the postseason. Only one of the top fifteen highest
paid players in the NBA remains in the postseason. Steph's out,
(11:24):
embiid Lebron Joker, Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant, Dame Lillard, sorry,
Jannis Kawhi Paul George, Jimmy Butler, Clay, Rudy, and the Goberts.
Fred van Vliet. Fred van Vliet makes forty million dollars.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
But the Yeah, so Rudy Gobert makes forty one mil.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah, yeah, Anthony Davis and I'll teach you kids out there,
gets tall, Yes, play basketball?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
So you have Jalen Brown and uh well Tatum's up
there too. So this is according to uh, let's see
the NBA. Do you have Tatum's numbers?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
They're pulling Tatum and Brown for the Celtics. They're starting
to escalate, like they're making about thirty eight thirty nine four,
so they're a bargain and in two years they're gonna
be making fifty seven.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Okay, So Rudy Gobert is still in the playoffs. He's
the one out of the fifteen.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
Man.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
You could win some money if you said, out of
all of the top fifteen paid players in the NBA,
the one player who's still in the postseason, I wouldn't
have guessed Rudy Gobert. That's why when we look at Minnesota,
we're not fair to the roster because we go man
aunt Man's doing it all by himself, and I go, no,
he's not Rudy Gobert. You gave up five first round
(12:50):
draft picks to Utah to get him, and he's won
his fourth defensive place, so he's going into the Hall
of Fame. And then you got Karl Anthony Towns who's
been in All Star and according to him, he's changed
the game and he once scored sixty points in the game.
And then you got nas Reed, who's the sixth Man
(13:11):
of the Year. Like you, you had Mike Conley's a veteran,
been around thirty. You know, he's thirty five years of age.
So it's not just Anthony Edwards. If it was just
Anthony Edwards, they wouldn't have beaten Denver in Game seven.
They have a pretty good roster there, and now they
get to hook up with Luca. All right, seeing what's
pole question today? Hour one, we got a couple options
for you.
Speaker 7 (13:31):
Right, Let's see, we could go with, uh, it's Chet
holmgrena rookie, but you've already.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
But even on that one, even when each Ero came over,
I think he was twenty six, he won the Rookie
of the Year and he won MVP, and I'm like,
I'm okay with that. Back then, we didn't know how
good Japanese players were. I think there were some curiosities,
and it felt like there were a couple of pitchers
that were like, okay, you know, all right, they got
(13:59):
some decent over there, and then each yearro came over
and became a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Yeah, Paul, Okay, here's the reason chet Holmgren's not a rookie.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Dan.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Let's say you're doing play by play for an NBA
game this year and you had Oklahoma City and you're
with the Van Gundy's and you said, what a great
night by the rookie Chet Holmgren. Would you say that
on air? Well, he is a rookie. Would you say
it on the air?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I haven't thought of that.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I don't think you would. You're a pro broadcaster, and
you go, you wouldn't consider him a.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Rookie a rookie sensation.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Look at this rookie tearing up the NBA, assuming chet
Holmgren was having at huge night. You wouldn't say that
because he's.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Not a rookie.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
His rookie year didn't work out, unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
But do you have to play for something to signify
your rookie season.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
It was his rookie contract as far as like the
NBA is concerned, his second year of his contract. He's
not a rookie, and I think it's unfair to their
actual rookies. I'm pro Chet Holmgren. I love me some check,
but he not a rookie.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Now this goes back to high school, Paul, where you
said that he was not going to be successful. You
watched him play, You came in here and you trashed
Chet Holmgren said. The record will show you're not a
chat hoolmegreun fan unless you've become one. But it sounds
like you haven't because he's not a rookie.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I was anti. I thought he was too skinny to last.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
See now all of a sudden, here we go. But
are you.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Still a player if you did not play at all?
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Like?
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Does that?
Speaker 7 (15:34):
Does a year that you don't play actually count? No,
he was paid by the league, he was working at
the facility. Okay, how about we who thinks Chet Holmgren
is a rookie.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
There's nobody else arguing this today, but that's what makes
this show so great.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
So let's have Chet on and go. Let's welcome the
rookie sensation.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Chet, how are you man, Todd? Do you think Chet
Holmgren is a rookie? I am fine him being considered
a no counter no, Marvin, Marvin. Yeah, he's a red shirt,
red shirt freshman, red shirt rookie. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Okay, let's say, uh, arch Manning red shirted his freshman year, right,
and he comes back for a sophomore year of Texas yea.
And when he gets home from his sophomore year of school,
but his parents go, how is your freshman year?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
It's a sophomore year, but it would be his, but
they I don't think they would say that when they
greeted him.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
I know, so exactly because he's a freshman.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
So Johnny Manziel won the Heisman. They say he's the
first freshman to ever win the Heisman Trophy. But he
wasn't a freshman. He was a red shirt f shirt freshman, right,
so he still they don't say he was a sophomore.
Academically Okay, probably academically, yes, Paul.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Then we need a designation for someone who's a second
year rookie, red shirt rookie or whatever maybe called, because
no one would.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
We want to get a hold of somebody at the
NBA home office because they love hearing from us really
early in the morning.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Send these emails as soon as.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
They get in. So imagine, you know, you got Tommy
who's showing up. You just walked in at nine o two,
and he's sitting down having his coffee, having a donut,
and you're going, wait, I got an email from Todd Fritz. Uh,
why is ched Holman considered a rookie? Blake Griffin. Blake
Griffin right, he he won Rookie of the Year in
(17:29):
his second year. Where was your outrage then, Paul?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
You had to sit me down.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Yeah, Paul, it's okay, No, he's not a rookie. Let
me take a break and we'll settle on a poll
question today. We're off to a flying start, all right,
We're back after this.

Paul and Toni Fusco show, we get tons and tons
of fan mail every day.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Piles of it.
Speaker 8 (18:08):
In fact, Tony Why don't you open up one of
those letters right now and read what's inside?
Speaker 9 (18:12):
Hey, listen to this, Dear Paulie and Tony, your sports
takes the dumbest and most.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Terribly that Wait, why open this other one?
Speaker 9 (18:20):
Dear Paulie and Tony, you suck more than anyone.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Wait, try this one.
Speaker 9 (18:25):
Dear Paulie and Tony, you guys are the absolute best.
There you go coming up with the stupidest take.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Forget it.
Speaker 8 (18:33):
Just listen to the Paully and Tony Fusco Show on
the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah, tonight, game one of the Eastern Conference Finals. According
to DraftKings, I got the Pacers getting ten Celtics overwhelming
favorites to reach the NBA Finals. It's bringing our good buddy.
Jamal Crawford, Turners sports analyst, former NBA player, three time
NBA sixth Man of the Year, Jamal we spent a
(19:01):
lot of time on this ched. Holmgren was named the
All Rookie Team his second year in the league. Where
do you stand on rookies who are in their second
year and they make a rookie team or some have
won Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Well, it was his first time on the court, so
I'm okay with that, But I think absolutely him being
able to watch the game, get stronger, getting the rhythm
of NBA travel, getting the rhythm of how the NBA
works without actually playings. It's almost like having the answers
to the test because you start seeing things a little
bit differently. And he'll surepare you for that second year,
but your first teching year.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Playing well, he's kind of a red shirt freshman, isn't he.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
Yeah, in a way, it absolutely is, and that could
be some of the foundation for his career going forward,
just being able to get all that knowledge.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
First, all right, let's turn our attention to tonight's gain.
Can you remember a team with this much pressure on
it to win, that they have to win, that they
have to win.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
I would have to go back to like the Heatles
with the heat Yeah, they had a lot of pressure
on them when they got together, you know. So I
think for these guys, it's all enough and everybody knows
that it's been like that all year.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Okay, how does it not happen? Like they have the talent,
they are young, and it felt like that pressure got
to them before. How do you learn how to win
a championship?
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Well, you learn from your mistakes, and they actually have
been to the championship series. I think for them, and
I've said it all year, they're as talented as five
as there is in the league. But what can get
them is trust. Are you going to trust the same
way you do when you're up ten, when you're up
fifteen the balls hopping, everybody's touching it, or you're gonna
revert to going one on one and more isolation basketball.
(20:51):
And I think when they do that, that's when they
allow teams to stay around, and that's when they put
even more pressure on themselves that they don't need to.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Yeah, we keep waiting tooint Jason Tatum is maybe the
face of the league, but I don't know if he's
ever going to be the face of the league. He's
a wonderful player, but I don't even know if he
wants to be the face of the league. What do
you what is the rap on Jason Tatum?
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Well, he's accomplished a lot at a young age. I
think when he actually wins the championship, because they'll win one.
When he wins one, I think people will look at
his whole career in the totality of the stuff he
has done, and Dan, to be honest with you, after
the Lebron and the KDS and the steps, you know,
continue on, I'm not sure there will be just one
face of the league. I think you'll need a bunch
(21:36):
of guys. I think you'll need Victor, You'll need the Checks,
you need Tatum, you need, you need Luca, you need
all these guys to kind of help push the league
forward because seeing the Lebron's and Steps and those type
of guys is that's gonna be tough to top.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
How much did bowing out the way he did against
Anton the Wolves is gonna put a dent in the
jokers Lifegacy, I'm not.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Sure he bowed out. I think he brought it. I've
watching him up close for as much as I did
this This playoff run is fascinating. You really have to
combine four or five players to be this guy like
he's damn, He's not just playing against the players. He's
playing against the coach. And that's what makes me different.
I'm not always playing get you guys, let me see
(22:24):
what this So he is a one of one and
he is special and fun to watch.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Okay, but what is it about him? Because he's like
a hybrid there of players. It's not like you go, oh,
you know he reminds me of because I don't know
if there's anybody like him.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
No, there's not just one person like him. He has
some of the Kings footwork and he brings out the
Kareem skyhook on the same possession all then he'll know,
look you and pass like magic the bird. The thing
that's interesting, really special about him, besides his mind is
he can kind of blend to eras he can play
nineties bullies ball and get in there and make you
look small. Or he can step out here threes, get
(23:06):
to the dribble, handoffs and make plays on perimeter like
the players do today at the bigger guys. So he's
the one guy that can kind of wind two ears.
Oh and I can score forty whenever I don't whenever
I want, but sometimes I'll score forty when I don't
want to as well. And he can pass and find everybody.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
He's a special player, yeah, one of the best, and
he's one of the selfless players. When you think of
great players. Steve Nash comes to mind. He won a
couple MVPs. They had to tell him to shoot. You know,
Jokers had a couple of seasons where you know, he
was like twentieth in shot attempts, and that's saying a
whole lot for an MVP.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
And the really, really, really special thing about him out
of all the players I've seen, I studied the game
for a long time. I was just thinking about this.
I studied it since I was eight years old, so
thirty six years for a superstar. He makes the right play,
probably more consistently, at a higher percentage than most superstars
I've ever seen. Like, alls for me to pass ten
straight times, I'll do that with a smile. If it
(24:03):
calls for me to score five straight times, I'll do it.
He makes the right play almost every single time down
the court, and that's that's almost impossible to do.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Who's a better passer, Joker or Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
I would give Joker the advantage only because his height.
He can see different angles. Care I'm a basketball guy, right,
I'm I gotta say that Beholds is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Does Denver need to make big changes to its roster?
Speaker 5 (24:35):
I think they need to solidify their events a little
bit more. I think when they lost uh Brown last
year and they lost Jeff Green, I thought they hurt
them big time, you know, because it took out guys
that can switch. It took out athletic guys, It took
off vet guys. It took out almost another set of
playmakers as well. If you saw when Jamal Murray really
got off in the series, he got off the ball,
he let Gordon or Joker bring the ball up, which
(24:57):
freed him to kind of play the attack. And their
team is built for him to be the attacker. So
I think they need a couple more playmakers.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Our dynasty is dead in the NBA.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
I'm not sure they're dead, but I think they'll be
harder to to, you know, to do when you when
you go back and think about Jordan winning three, taking
me a year and a half off and come back
and win three more, we will never see that again.
And especially the way player movement is as well, the
way contracts are structured. Guys, remember in the eighties, like
we knew everybody on the Celtics knew. It was ange
Bird and Harris and mckille and all these guys nearby
(25:30):
the Lakers with Scott and Magic and Worthy and Rambis
and Kareem. So we don't identify our players like that
any more. Just being with that team now, we just
kind of follow the player.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Yeah, I wonder what the salary structure with the salary
camp and moving forward, can you have big threes? And
I don't know if you can, I don't. I mean,
Phoenix has it, but it's not going to work for them. Okay.
See as a lot of young players under contract Minnesota,
you know, not necessarily a young I mean, Rudy's been
(26:02):
around a while and so's Cat. But so I don't
know what Boston's got those two guys under contract and
Tatum and Brown. I'm just curious if teams try to
get that third star or they use the money to
maybe even out the roster and you had a little
bit more on the bench.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Well you heard Kendrick Lamar in the in the rep beef,
he says, it's no big three, it's just big me.
Now it was just a big me. It's just I
think you're right. I think it'll be the two star
kind of model, and you go around that. I actually
like that model. Better, to be honest with you, I
think that. Yeah, I think that third guy sacrifice was
a lot and he never gets a chance to be
in and I think the two guys have to figure
(26:41):
it out. And I miss that part of it, Like, Okay,
it's us two, it's those two, but our benches and
our role players and our coach and all that stuff.
They come into the game a lot more. And I
missed that that time period.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Why does it seem like people don't like Drake?
Speaker 5 (26:56):
He's been on top for a long time. Then, like
you know, it's it's it's hard to keep keep that
same further when you're that's why you're damn pastrick, Like what.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Is Drake and Lebron? Is there parallels?
Speaker 5 (27:09):
I could see that absolutely. I think that might be
the basketball version and that might be the rap version.
For sure. They've been on top for a long time.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Who's better at what they do? Drake or Lebron?
Speaker 5 (27:21):
I would say Lebron. I think. I think Drake is
one of the greatest artists ever. I think Lebron's one
of the greatest basketball players ever. But had to hire
a hire tea.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Do you believe Lebron's not involved in the coaching search
for the Lakers?
Speaker 5 (27:38):
I think Lebron if he says it's now, I'm gonna
take him for his word. But I would think a
player of that magnitude they kind of know what's going on.
At least in my experiences of playing with top players,
they were in the loop, and when they were in
the loop, they were a little upset by that.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Okay, but Lebron does a podcast with JJ Reddick. Yes,
do you think at some point, maybe when they're not
recording that, Lebron says something to JJ or JJ says
something to Bron about coaching the Lakers.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
There has to be some conversation, right, Yeah, they respect
each other's basketball intellect. They would not have done a
pod together. That could just be normal friends talking like
we're talking coaching right now, right, So I'm sure they've
had some type of conversation about that.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
What advice would you give Bronnie James? You know what.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
I watched him at the Combine and even before that.
You can go back to my tweets. I love how
he plays, I love how he was raised, his humility.
And now I'm in the AAEUST circuit because I'm coaching
my son, so I know what it's like to be
like you know, the famous kid, and everybody's kind of
watching you and hoping things don't go well for you.
He hands it beautifully and he knows how to play
the game. And what I'm not in the comparison part
(28:47):
of it, but just watching him, he's athletic, he can
shoot it. He makes the right play almost all the time.
So he'll find his way and he'll definitely be a
pro at what round and what pick I don't know,
but he'll be a pro because he has the right.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Makeup, right, Okay, but if I take away the name,
if I take away the name, let's be honest. Yeah,
and you went to the combine, are you noticing Brownie James?
Speaker 5 (29:10):
Absolutely? Six to one forty inch vertical that's gonna jump
off the page first, and then you shoot twenty five
threes you make nineteen of them. I'm watching that as well,
and he's making the right play for somebody to have
the name that long and not try to play up
to that pressure. Yeah, I think that's impressive been itself.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
What's your What was your vertical?
Speaker 5 (29:28):
It wasn't forty, it was thirty two and I needed
another eight, so it made me I made a ball
eight from somebody else. I think it was like thirty four.
Maybe it wasn't forty, Yes for.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Sure, Okay, but what was it? Like the best leaper
you saw where you go? That's that's not real, Like
that's not fair.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
I've seen a couple of them, Vince Carter. James flight
White was taken off from the free throw line and
he's assistant coach with the Timberlves right now in wind
Milling in high school. Derreck Rose, when I saw him,
he was like a world class tracked apple. He was
like he's he has a super charger. Didn't buy people
(30:05):
forget how athletic and how great he was before any injuries.
Derrick row is one of my favorites.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Wasn't uh White from Florida?
Speaker 5 (30:15):
I think he was from d C. He may have
went to Florida playing Florida. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think
you're right. I think you're right. James flight White, what
about you? Then? Who did you? And of course m
J right like he some guys off one foot or
two feet he was doing like who are you? Who
are you watching?
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Oh? I go back. First guy I ever saw who
was different was Elgin Baylor where he just yeah, his
his elevation was was something where he went, Okay, that's different.
I didn't see Russell play, but I saw just about
everybody else athletically. Doc doctor j in traffic was so
(30:54):
great at dunking because he would just get it go
like big ham boom, throw it down.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Darnell Hillman doctor Uh. I think they call him doctor
dunk or something. Aba big afro Darnell Hillman. I remember
Connie Hawkins, remember, Yeah, trying to think who else might
have been where you just watch and you go, amen,
that guy could hit his head on the rim right now,
(31:22):
that that's old school. Going back.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
Kevin Harland asked me something, and I'm going to ask
you if you could only watch a player who could
handle the ball like magic, right, not magic Johnson wud
like magic look beautiful, somebody who had the best jumper ever,
and somebody who could fly through there. You can only
watch one game of that person. Who would it be?
Who's your style?
Speaker 2 (31:47):
So who's my player that has all of those?
Speaker 5 (31:50):
No one player that had the best at that? Who
would you rather watch? The ball handler or the shoes?
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Well you and me are shooters, yes, so yeah, yeah,
I would take a shooter just like I love, I
like maravich Is is one of the best ball handlers ever,
and and Kyrie is in there as well. I mean
(32:19):
there's there's a few guys who were unbelievable and by
ball handling. I always say, how are you in traffic?
Because that's really what I want to see? If tight spaces,
can you get out of the tight space? And Kyrie's great,
great point dunking, I don't know, like I just know,
(32:43):
I know, but unless he's jumping over Frederick Weiss, I mean,
it's it's just like I I got to see Dominique.
Dominique always tomahawked like he didn't do one handed, and
he did it in traffic, and I saw Doctor J
like that. I got spoiled. So Vince's, you know, incredible.
But I always found the guys that could jump weren't
(33:04):
necessarily the best players because they relied. It's like a
beautiful woman who doesn't develop her personality, like, hey, I'm beautiful,
look at me. Dunk and then can you play? You know,
can you shoot, can you play deep?
Speaker 5 (33:18):
You know?
Speaker 2 (33:18):
All those things. So I'm not as big on the
dunking part of it.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
Okay, I think I chose the the guy in the
type spaces. I thought shooting was cool, dunking was cool,
but the guy that that's what the magic happened. So
I think I chose. If I could watch one game,
I think it would be the Kyrie type player.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Is Kyrie the most talented player who ever played the game?
Speaker 5 (33:41):
The most talented?
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Yes, not the best talented.
Speaker 5 (33:45):
I would say he's one of the most talented and
one of the most skilled. I think Jordan checks both boxes.
I think Jordan's the most talented. I think he's the
most skilled. I think he's the best player. I think
he checks every box for me personally, the Kyrie talent wise,
he is up there. He's the guy that even the
talented guys look at and say, how do you do that?
And that's what that's right, like, that's what separates him
(34:07):
for sure.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
What's the picture over your shoulder, your right right storter,
left shoulder, right shoulder.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
I think that's Jordan, right.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
I don't know, you tell me, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
Jordan, it's Jordan. He's ever president, always president.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
What is he doing in the picture.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
He's given me death, He's given me death. And that
was that was his first time returning to Chicago, and
he had like a thirty minute stand ovation. He had
to tell them to stop clapping for him so he
could play the game. It was that game.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
How'd you do against him?
Speaker 5 (34:40):
That game? That game? I think I had double figures? Uh,
I think I had double figures. And I think we
ended up winning that game. Okay, So I just came
back to me. The first game he came back, I
was hurt. That was the first time I played against
him though, and I think we won that game. But
the first game he came back, they won the game,
but he gave me a shoot. Was that first time
(35:01):
he came back to Chicago.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
You still have them.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
I still have his first and last shoes he ever
wore against the boards the games.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Look at you. Yeah, yeah, don't sell them. Don't sell
them never ever, ever ever.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
I'll sell me first I go before.
Speaker 8 (35:16):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Great to catch up with you. As always, we covered
a lot of ground here. Who would have thought we'd
be talking, you know, Drake and Lebron.
Speaker 5 (35:24):
Yes, thank you, Jamal, thanks, you appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
That's Jamal Crawford, Turner sports analyst, three time NBA sixth
Man of the Year, one of Marvit's favorite players.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
He's so entertaining.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
He is great.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
He's great. YouTube is your friend, guys, YouTube Jamal Carford highlights.
You won't be disappointed.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
You can do that during the commercial break for sure. Yes,
we're back after this.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
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 WAPP.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
The freshly minted PGA champions andersfully back on the program. Congratulations,
How much of this is joy? How much of this
is relief? That's a it's a mixed bag. I'd say
relief shortly after? Uh been waking up pretty happy ever since. Well,
(36:20):
I understand that you're waking after you've won the title, though,
But what's it like though? When somebody said, man, there's
the best golfer who's never won a major.
Speaker 10 (36:29):
It's I mean, that's sort of the conversation I would
have in the mirror with myself, to be completely honest.
So I was saying that before everyone else was, So,
you know, it was unfortunate the media picked up on
what I was thinking.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
But what was your answer? If you're talking to yourself
in the mirror.
Speaker 11 (36:43):
Just just to hang tough.
Speaker 10 (36:45):
You know, you got to be resilient at times, stubborn
at times. And I have those traits ingrained in me,
and I definitely put them to use.
Speaker 11 (36:55):
To uh to whether the storm of not really winning
a whole lot in the last couple of years.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
How did the nerves ring? How nervous were you.
Speaker 11 (37:05):
That last putt?
Speaker 10 (37:06):
I was nervous, I'm not gonna lie I was, but
I was surprisingly more calm than I thought. You know,
I think I kept saying, you know, I knock on
the door till you knock it down. And I had
so many close calls, and I think all those moments
sort of hardened me for that final moment to to
sort of walk up eighteen and be cool and calm
in that moment. So it's you know, all those close
(37:28):
calls definitely paid off, and I was able to put.
Speaker 11 (37:30):
Them to use, which was nice.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
You put a little pace on that putt, though.
Speaker 11 (37:36):
I told myself at the beginning of the day that
just get the ball of the hole.
Speaker 10 (37:40):
You know, on on a lot of my sundays, when
I look back at some film, there's a lot of I've.
Speaker 11 (37:45):
Hit a lot of good shots.
Speaker 10 (37:46):
I've executed a lot of good shots, a lot of
hesitation and just getting it done, and so the greens
are a little bit slower because of the rain. And
it was something I consciously told myself is to be aggressive.
It's going to take a low or because people are
shooting nothing, and you know, it was. It was an
interesting major Sunday, just in the fact that I had
to shoot seven hundre or six hundred to win. But
(38:09):
being aggressive was something I told myself when I woke up.
It's something I need to do.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Speaking of the scores, are you okay with somebody winning
a major twenty one under par?
Speaker 5 (38:18):
Like?
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Was the with the scores too low for a major?
In your opinion? Yeah, I don't blame you hug the trophy.
Speaker 11 (38:31):
But it's there's there there. It's it's tough.
Speaker 5 (38:35):
You know.
Speaker 10 (38:36):
You pick out an incredible venue like Valhalla, It's got
that championship feel, it's a massive property.
Speaker 11 (38:42):
It allows for this.
Speaker 10 (38:43):
I looked up on eighteen and I looked around and
I was like, holy smokes, there's a lot of people here.
Speaker 5 (38:47):
You know.
Speaker 10 (38:48):
It's like something that one of the cooler things I've
ever seen. And then how quiet it got right before
I hit my putt was something so crazy as well
that I really haven't talked a whole lot with other
people outside of my own circle. But when the weather
comes through and you know, it's foggy, it's it's humid,
it rains, and then you add in the.
Speaker 11 (39:08):
Fact that it wasn't very windy.
Speaker 10 (39:10):
You know, I don't care how much equipment, subair people
you have trying to get fans on the course.
Speaker 11 (39:16):
It's just it is what it is, you know.
Speaker 10 (39:18):
So I think for fans, you know, at least it
was very I hope it was very entertaining, and it
was very dramatic.
Speaker 11 (39:26):
That's like the least we can offer from our sport.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Do you imagine that that's your first that Jack did
that eighteen times and Tiger did it fifteen times? Yeah,
Like that's crazy, isn't it. But everything you've gone through
as good as you are, and you got one and
then all of a sudden Tiger can walk by and go, yeah,
you got fourteen to go Yeah.
Speaker 10 (39:47):
No, it makes it feel pretty small pretty quickly when
you compare yourself to the best that I've ever played
the game, no doubt about it.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
He's Xanderschoffley. I know you don't get too emotional, but
I think your dad gets emotional, but he wasn't there.
And then I think you talked about at the press
conference that you called him right before you're going to
go get the trophy.
Speaker 5 (40:08):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
I was wondering, you know how that was going to
affect you as you're going out there. You didn't want
to be crying for posterity. You know history is going
to show you, you know, just big tears out there.
What was the phone call like to dead.
Speaker 11 (40:22):
Yeah, I mean, I'm a grown man.
Speaker 10 (40:23):
I'm not afraid to show shows, show some tears when
when it's right, you know what I mean, it's it's
all good.
Speaker 11 (40:28):
But uh, I was.
Speaker 10 (40:30):
I mean I was actually when Austin came in and
gave me a big hug. I mean, I think both
of us were more emotional than we thought we would be.
I think it was just this big, this big build
up for us, and we've just we've kept our head
in the sand and just kept our head down for
so long that everything just kind of came out and
it was like, holy smokes, Like I am way more
emotional than I thought I was ever going to be.
And so when I called my dad. I mean, I
would have bet that at the farm that he was
(40:52):
going to be crying and so, but as soon as
I heard his voice and you know, I started talking
to him.
Speaker 11 (40:58):
I was immediately like, I have to I gotta hang up.
Speaker 10 (41:02):
I can't continue this phone call for more than a
minute or I'm gonna start crying here on the phone.
Speaker 5 (41:06):
So it was.
Speaker 10 (41:07):
And then I called my mom like half an hour later,
and then she started crying again, and I was like,
holy smoked on TV again.
Speaker 11 (41:14):
So it's like, I need to talk to you guys
in a little bit.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
He's the winner of the PGA Championship. Xander Schawffley back
on the program. When you win, is it direct opposit
for the check?
Speaker 11 (41:27):
Typically? Yeah? Yeah on Tuesday? Tuesday?
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Usually, Oh so today you're getting the check today?
Speaker 10 (41:33):
Yeah, today's or for on the PGA Tour. That's normally
how it happens with major championships. You know, it's different,
it's different how they go about it.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
Do you check your ATM? Like how does this work?
Speaker 11 (41:45):
I have not check checked my bank account.
Speaker 4 (41:49):
I have not.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
To be completely honest, are you do you retire the
outfit that you wore on Sunday?
Speaker 10 (41:56):
I pushed, I watched some highlights. I really wanted to
win in that outfit. I wore it on Sunday at
riv didn't win. I wore it, I think at the
players didn't win, and so you know, everyone's kind of
got their thing. I mean, it's just one of my
favorite shirts that I wear from Dessign right now. And
it's comfortable and I liked it, and you know, it's
got a little bit of color compared to everything else
(42:17):
I'm wearing right now.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
So yeah, but what are you gonna do, Like You're
gonna put that on a mannequin and not wear it anymore.
Speaker 11 (42:22):
I'm sure my mom will. My mom will want to.
Speaker 10 (42:25):
My parents usually are like the safekeepers of my trophies.
I'm actually shocked this one's here with me right now.
It's only because I'm in Florida.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
Uh does the top open on that trophy?
Speaker 5 (42:35):
Well?
Speaker 11 (42:35):
How are you going to drink out of it? My man?
Speaker 2 (42:37):
What's been in there in the past forty eight hours?
Speaker 10 (42:42):
Yeah, probably like three or four different kinds of alcohol
and lips.
Speaker 2 (42:47):
Who got to sip out of it?
Speaker 5 (42:49):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (42:50):
My team?
Speaker 2 (42:50):
My team also no other golfers.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
Now.
Speaker 5 (42:54):
Now, I.
Speaker 10 (42:56):
Was able to add a few friends there that caddie
for other players, and I was like, all, I was like.
Speaker 11 (43:01):
You guys aren't drinking out of this.
Speaker 10 (43:03):
I was like, you guys can drink out of something
like this when your player wins wins a tournament, Like
I'm not going to hold this over your guys's head.
So everyone on my team and my family that they
drank out of it.
Speaker 2 (43:11):
Well, that's like the Stanley Cup. It's been a lot
of different places and seeing a lot of different things,
but this is it. It was like a one spin
here with forty eight hours where everybody got a chance
to see it and then goes back home.
Speaker 10 (43:25):
Well once it goes to the West coast. You know,
I'm kind of an old soul now in order to
get at golf, it's it's hard to go out and
party and rage too hard. So my parents, though, they're
probably going to play around time with this thing, and
I'm sure they're.
Speaker 2 (43:38):
Going to use this thing way more than I did.
And promise you that do you have a trophy case
big enough for that? That's a big trophy.
Speaker 10 (43:45):
This is actually a ninety percent replica. The Wanamaker is
ten percent bigger than this, So this is actually smaller
and a little bit lighter.
Speaker 11 (43:53):
It's heavy though.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
Did your caddie leave during the tournament?
Speaker 11 (44:01):
Did my caddie leave?
Speaker 12 (44:03):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (44:03):
Who was the uh? Sky left? Okay, okay, sorry, classic
mix up. Well, I'm sure Showflee and Scheffler and it happens,
except for what happened on Friday. But what how did
you hear that about Scotty when somebody told you this
is what happened.
Speaker 11 (44:23):
Yeah, I woke up.
Speaker 10 (44:25):
My wife showed me an article immediately, and I was like,
I was like, it has to be a prank, and
you know, and then you know, we turned the TV
on and it wasn't a prank, and then you know,
we found out someone passed. There was a fatal accident,
and then it was raining, and I knew how hectict
was getting in out of the course, and so it
felt like it could have happened to any one of us.
And Sky is a great dude. I really hope he,
(44:47):
you know, comes out uh clean. He doesn't really deserve
to have those charges on his on his record.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
Are you playing this week?
Speaker 5 (44:54):
I am not.
Speaker 11 (44:56):
You're spent, Thank goodness.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
Well you got to sober up and you're probably mentally
physically exhausted as well.
Speaker 11 (45:04):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 10 (45:05):
I don't drink often, so definitely was a little bit
bruised waking up. But you know, I was on like
three and a half hours asleep and I woke up
just wide awake and happy. So it's you know, I'm
definitely going to like crash hard here very soon.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
Congrats, great golf, and happy for you and thanks for
joining us, Skin, thank you, thanks for having me all
right at Sanders Shoftley, winner of the PGA Championship. Yeah,
you don't want to say, hey, the scores, you know,
the course was too easy. But I wonder with the
golfers when you're playing in a major that we're so
used to having it be like, hey, somebody's six under
(45:43):
and they win the tournament, not twenty one. You know,
the US Open usually they want to make it really,
really difficult, and you know British Open sometimes depending on
the course or the weather, the Masters sometimes as well.
But you know, the PGA revolves as well, so different venues,
(46:05):
and I think it's one of those where the weather
was conducive and I kept thinking if they had more
rain or wind than maybe, but uh, it was optimum
scoring weekend for everybody. There A couple of phone calls
in here Nate and Colorado. Hey Nate, what's on your mind?
Speaker 13 (46:26):
Good morning, gentlemen. M glad you could get through to
me this morning.
Speaker 2 (46:30):
Yep.
Speaker 13 (46:30):
Yeah, Hey, CP, you've got to get Sandler to get
Tiger in that movie, because, just on the off chance
that you Tube could be standing on the range in
between takes, if you could look at Tiger and go, hey,
you know you're gripping that club.
Speaker 2 (46:43):
Thanking date. Yeah. Yeah, Well, if I told Ray Allen
I didn't like the position of the ball in his hand,
maybe I'd be looking at Tiger and saying, you know,
I'm coming over the top there, Yeah a little bit.
You know, I like the that the left hand cupped
a little bit more. You don't want you to have
(47:03):
a little bit more lag and your swinging there? Sean
and Indy, Hey Sean, what's on your mind?
Speaker 5 (47:10):
Oh?
Speaker 12 (47:11):
What's happening in DP?
Speaker 5 (47:12):
Hey?
Speaker 12 (47:12):
But I was listening to your conversation earlier about the
Dead Mom's Club and figured, if you do choose to
go down this road, we could have an annual run,
a five k or something for the Dead Mom's Club,
and we could call it run DMC.
Speaker 2 (47:29):
Okay, Yeah, I'm not ready to embrace the Dead Mom's Club. Yeah,
it just feels cruel. It's just I don't know. It
doesn't have the kind of tongue in cheeks sense of
humors raising a toast of dad dead Dad's Club, Like
Mom is different. Mom's off limits. I mean, don't say
(47:50):
anything about Mom. Heck, yeah, Gary and Iowa, Hi Gary, Hey.
Speaker 6 (47:57):
Dan, Dad, thanks for calling me. Yes, Hey, I got
a sports uniform suggestion.
Speaker 13 (48:01):
Maybe Todd Fritz wrote this one.
Speaker 12 (48:04):
Now hear me out women's college volleyball shorts.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
Thank you, goodbye, Thank you so any uniform with women's
college volleyball?
Speaker 5 (48:18):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (48:19):
Duke and Boise. Hey Duke, what's on your mind?
Speaker 6 (48:24):
Hey Dan? Thanks taking the call. Six' one two fifteen.
You guys were talking about the uniforms and some of
the worst changes ever. Somebody mentioned the Mariners going to
the Chiel. I would just like to offer up in
general Seattle as the most horrific changes of all time,
the Sonics going from that class of clean, white and
(48:46):
green to whatever it was they made Gary Taton and
Sean kemp ware the Jim Mora Junior days of the
Seahawks that rebooked Travesty and the Mariners finally somewhat gotten
back on track. But Seattle as a whole, you guys
got to do better.
Speaker 2 (49:04):
Man, Well they got the kracking now. Dudes are awful
as well. Okay, Duke, I love my cracking sweatshirt. Here
Scott in Illinois, Hey Scott, what's on your mind?
Speaker 5 (49:18):
All right?
Speaker 2 (49:18):
Dan?
Speaker 14 (49:18):
First time, long time six to five brick. Hey, that's
probably as pressure you got a figer that the Yankees
from the Bad News Bears. I mean, the dad went
out and whacked the kid pitching in the middle of
the game.
Speaker 6 (49:34):
He loses that. Lord knows what's gonna happen when he
goes home.
Speaker 2 (49:36):
All right, Well, Bad News Bears a little pressure there.
Vic Morrow was the manager manager for the other team,
went out there and yelled at his son, and then
his son held the ball. Very I don't want to
ruin the ending of Bad News Bears, but dramatic moment there, Yes, Martin,
when the.
Speaker 4 (49:56):
Mom walked off, all I could think it was, Okay, Dad,
I see what you're doing. I respect you because mom
was a fox.
Speaker 2 (50:06):
The mom yeah in that time, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,
she was hot.
Speaker 4 (50:11):
Okay. Yeah, you're just kind of looking at me like.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
Yeah, well, I didn't know where you were going with it.
Speaker 4 (50:18):
I respected the manager for his decisions and picking a partner.
Back to you, DPR Oh sorry, DP, one more thing, Yeah,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (50:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (50:28):
You know what, what, as far as dads and moms
are concerned, you're right as far as we hold moms
near and dear to our hearts because the fact that
we use your mama jokes, and that could start a
fight if somebody says your daddy, someone says, okay, so.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
Well I do have my bathrobe that says daddy on it.
Speaker 4 (50:46):
Oh, that's a whole different convo.
Speaker 11 (50:51):
Fritzy.
Speaker 2 (50:54):
Oh you know those sonic uniforms that Gary Payton had
had sonics, you know, across the chest and then had
the yellow numerals that looked pretty good. And those were
good teams too, Peyton, Sean Kemp, Dead Left Shrimp, Nate McMillan.
(51:14):
That was a good team, fun team, Seattle, great City too.

us on the program tomorrow. We'll recap Game one tonight

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Maybe, Okay, we're trying to all right, all right. I
think it's pretty awesome if we're able to do this.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves. I know we
tend to Danpatrick dot com.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Yes, Paul, maybe there should be a separate holiday called
I don't have a Father's Day because Father's Day for
those of us whose dads aren't around is quite painful.
But maybe we could collectively have like we have the DDC.
Maybe there's a different holiday.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I don't know. Boo hoo, Dad's not around.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
You're in the same boat.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Boo who. It's like, all right, it's not around. And
Marvin's dad is dead. To him, that's a day off.

this mess unfold with thirteen cameras in here. Danpatrick dot
com Twitter handle a DP show SA. Good morning to
(03:10):
our radio affiliates around the world, Fox Sports Radio, iHeartRadio
as well. Edmondton Oilers. They squeak by. The Canucks advanced
to the Western Conference Finals. They'll face the Stars. This
is what I'm looking for today.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Now I'm going to try to program ESPN for you,
and I try not to do that because I have
no idea what they're thinking anymore. But you have the
Stars in the Western Conference Finals, you have the MAVs
in the Western Conference Finals. So here is your topic
bar for the shows today. More pressure on the Cowboys now.
(03:46):
Now the Stars and the MAVs are doing well. Question Mark.
The most popular team now they can't even do that.
One most popular team in Dallas Cowboys the most computer
team in the NFL. But I'm waiting for that. How
do we shoehorn this into get the Cowboys in there?
(04:07):
Or to us contract? Do they extend him Jack's contract?
Question Mark. It's there's a couple of different topics each
day that you go, how do we work lebron into this?
You know Bronnie's combine and you know people talking about
how well he did. You know, the number one bet
with the basketball draft is Bronnie will go number one overall. Now,
(04:33):
I don't know how many bets there are when it
comes to the draft, but DraftKings Vegas saying that if
you know a lot of people are betting that Bronnie
would go number one, I don't know what the odds
are with that, and it won't happen, but it's kind
of fun to have that ticket. Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I saw that story and I really thought it was
a joke or a misprint or something like that, because
we're not expert gamblers, but we know the basics of gambling,
and when a bet cannot happen, cannot cash, you don't
make it. I know the odds if you bet on
Bronnie James to be the number one overall pick must
be like one thousand to one. Actually I got two
hundred to one, and one of the bet websites said
(05:10):
twenty two point five percent of all their bets on
the number one pick is Bronnie James.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Okay, but how much money is being bet? I don't
care that you have that many, right, you might do. Hey,
I'm going to bet five dollars, but isn't that ten dollars?
That's giving your money away? Yes, but you do that
when you go to a casino, you eventually give it away.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
True, But when you play a hand of blackjack, you
could play you could just y'all hit hit hit, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
But you're gonna have that forever that you bet on
Brownie going number one overall. It feels like it's more
of a keepsake than anything else.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
All right.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Uh So By the way the All Rookie Team was
announced in the NBA, Victor win bay Yama was unanimous.
Chet Holmgren in his second year is on the All
Rookie Team. If you're Chet Holmgren, do you want to
be on the All Rookie team in your second year?
Because he couldn't play his first year and my thought is, yeah,
he might have incentives in his contract if he made
(06:02):
All Rookie Team that he got something. So he basically
had a gap year when he was hurt and he
played really well this year. So he's part of the
All Rookie Team with Victor Wembayana, Congratulations Chad Holmgreen. Scotty
Scheffler has a court date. It'll be June third, and
tonight Pacers at the Celtics. It's game one. It's the
(06:23):
Eastern Conference Finals, and now the pressure gets ratcheted up.
Playoffs are missing a lot of familiar faces when you
think about it, so no Lebron, no Steph, no KD,
no Joker, and the lack of former champs feels like
there's even more pressure building in Boston and rightfully so,
(06:43):
this has been like a half a decade here that
they've been flirting with winning a title in the Eastern
Conference Finals going to the NBA Finals. The team lost
to the Warriors in twenty twenty two in the finals.
Twenty twenty three lost to the Miami Heat in the
Eastern Conference Finals. And now here we are. Now you
got your great chance. DraftKings currently has Boston as a
(07:05):
heavy favor to win the title. So after years of
underperforming in the postseason, no better opportunity than this. And
I was looking back on some of the numbers here.
Jalen Brown twenty twenty three Eastern Conference Finals, he shot
seventeen percent from three point range in the series against
the Miami heam scored under twenty points in four out
(07:27):
of the seven games. Jason Tatum twenty twenty two NBA Finals,
scored twelve points in Game one against the Warriors. He
shot seventeen percent, scored thirteen in Game six, shot thirty
three percent from the field. Now, both players have played
well in the playoffs so far. Jalen Brown, I think
(07:47):
is making sixty million dollars a year. Hey, he signed
that three hundred million dollar contract. We should expect championships
out of them. Why not? And Jason Tatum, I know
people keep trying to shoehorn him in and he could
be the face of the NBA. I don't think he
wants to be the face of the NBA. I think
(08:09):
he just is a really good player. But we've seen
him get a little tight when you know, the games
get bigger, spotlight gets a little bit brighter. They should win.
They've had nothing in their way. The Heat were banged
up with Jimmy Butler, there's no Yiannis, Joe Ellenbiid was
banged up. You know, even the Knicks, if they had
(08:30):
gotten there, they would have been banged up. You're facing
a pacer team that most people don't realize who they
are and if they're that good, And now you don't
have the joker on the other end, no Lebron, no
steph you're gonna have Anthony Edwards or Luca So no stars,
then no excuses. They should win and you start And
(08:52):
we were trying to think of this yesterday. When's the
last time a team had to win a championship like
there was no uses. You were expected to win that
championship And it doesn't happen very often because there's always
the possibility of what if, What if that team gets hot.
What if somebody gets injured? But how many times in
(09:13):
recent sports history? And I brought up the Dodgers. I
brought up the Dodgers a couple of years ago. It
was a relief that they won the title. The Atlanta
Braves back in the mid nineties, they won a title.
It was a relief because they had been there so
many times. I don't know if the Bulls like the Bulls,
I never felt like there was pressure that they had
(09:34):
to win. I just thought they're going to win. I
never ever go, wow, they better win. Never thought that
for a moment. Yeah, Marv, what about the Pistons? Would
Isaiah Thomas?
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Was that a sire relief for those guys because they
were so close with the Celtics and then losing a
next year against the Lakers. Was that a sire relief.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Maybe for them? I guess it was. But like they
were going through some pretty tough teams there, you know,
going through the Boston Celtics, and that Celtic team one
of the greatest of all time, and then they finally
beat them. Then they they had their little window and
then all of a sudden, Mike came along and then
there was a new bully on the block. But I
(10:17):
don't know if San Antonio, where I go, you gotta win,
unless it was nineteen ninety nine when they faced the
Knicks and no Patrick Ewing, But even then, I don't
remember that there was no build up. There's been a
build up for five or six years with this Boston team,
and because of the expectation level in Boston. You know,
Celtic fans expect their team to play for a championship
(10:39):
or win a championship. But I don't know if I
remember a team that hadn't won a title. I mean,
can you imagine if they don't win a title this year?
But I mean they had their young core, but in
their deep they play defense. I mean, they're statistically one
(11:00):
of the better teams in recent NBA history. Top five offense,
top five defense. You got a couple of stars, or
they're paid like stars. Here's here's the highest paid players
in the postseason. Only one of the top fifteen highest
paid players in the NBA remains in the postseason. Steph's out,
(11:24):
embiid Lebron Joker, Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant, Dame Lillard, sorry,
Jannis Kawhi Paul George, Jimmy Butler, Clay, Rudy, and the Goberts.
Fred van Vliet. Fred van Vliet makes forty million dollars.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
But the Yeah, so Rudy Gobert makes forty one mil.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah, yeah, Anthony Davis and I'll teach you kids out there,
gets tall, Yes, play basketball?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
So you have Jalen Brown and uh well Tatum's up
there too. So this is according to uh, let's see
the NBA. Do you have Tatum's numbers?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
They're pulling Tatum and Brown for the Celtics. They're starting
to escalate, like they're making about thirty eight thirty nine four,
so they're a bargain and in two years they're gonna
be making fifty seven.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Okay, So Rudy Gobert is still in the playoffs. He's
the one out of the fifteen.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
Man.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
You could win some money if you said, out of
all of the top fifteen paid players in the NBA,
the one player who's still in the postseason, I wouldn't
have guessed Rudy Gobert. That's why when we look at Minnesota,
we're not fair to the roster because we go man
aunt Man's doing it all by himself, and I go, no,
he's not Rudy Gobert. You gave up five first round
(12:50):
draft picks to Utah to get him, and he's won
his fourth defensive place, so he's going into the Hall
of Fame. And then you got Karl Anthony Towns who's
been in All Star and according to him, he's changed
the game and he once scored sixty points in the game.
And then you got nas Reed, who's the sixth Man
(13:11):
of the Year. Like you, you had Mike Conley's a veteran,
been around thirty. You know, he's thirty five years of age.
So it's not just Anthony Edwards. If it was just
Anthony Edwards, they wouldn't have beaten Denver in Game seven.
They have a pretty good roster there, and now they
get to hook up with Luca. All right, seeing what's
pole question today? Hour one, we got a couple options
for you.
Speaker 7 (13:31):
Right, Let's see, we could go with, uh, it's Chet
holmgrena rookie, but you've already.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
But even on that one, even when each Ero came over,
I think he was twenty six, he won the Rookie
of the Year and he won MVP, and I'm like,
I'm okay with that. Back then, we didn't know how
good Japanese players were. I think there were some curiosities,
and it felt like there were a couple of pitchers
that were like, okay, you know, all right, they got
(13:59):
some decent over there, and then each yearro came over
and became a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Yeah, Paul, Okay, here's the reason chet Holmgren's not a rookie.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Dan.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Let's say you're doing play by play for an NBA
game this year and you had Oklahoma City and you're
with the Van Gundy's and you said, what a great
night by the rookie Chet Holmgren. Would you say that
on air? Well, he is a rookie. Would you say
it on the air?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I haven't thought of that.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I don't think you would. You're a pro broadcaster, and
you go, you wouldn't consider him a.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Rookie a rookie sensation.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Look at this rookie tearing up the NBA, assuming chet
Holmgren was having at huge night. You wouldn't say that
because he's.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Not a rookie.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
His rookie year didn't work out, unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
But do you have to play for something to signify
your rookie season.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
It was his rookie contract as far as like the
NBA is concerned, his second year of his contract. He's
not a rookie, and I think it's unfair to their
actual rookies. I'm pro Chet Holmgren. I love me some check,
but he not a rookie.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Now this goes back to high school, Paul, where you
said that he was not going to be successful. You
watched him play, You came in here and you trashed
Chet Holmgren said. The record will show you're not a
chat hoolmegreun fan unless you've become one. But it sounds
like you haven't because he's not a rookie.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I was anti. I thought he was too skinny to last.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
See now all of a sudden, here we go. But
are you.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Still a player if you did not play at all?
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Like?
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Does that?
Speaker 7 (15:34):
Does a year that you don't play actually count? No,
he was paid by the league, he was working at
the facility. Okay, how about we who thinks Chet Holmgren
is a rookie.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
There's nobody else arguing this today, but that's what makes
this show so great.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
So let's have Chet on and go. Let's welcome the
rookie sensation.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Chet, how are you man, Todd? Do you think Chet
Holmgren is a rookie? I am fine him being considered
a no counter no, Marvin, Marvin. Yeah, he's a red shirt,
red shirt freshman, red shirt rookie. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Okay, let's say, uh, arch Manning red shirted his freshman year, right,
and he comes back for a sophomore year of Texas yea.
And when he gets home from his sophomore year of school,
but his parents go, how is your freshman year?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
It's a sophomore year, but it would be his, but
they I don't think they would say that when they
greeted him.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
I know, so exactly because he's a freshman.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
So Johnny Manziel won the Heisman. They say he's the
first freshman to ever win the Heisman Trophy. But he
wasn't a freshman. He was a red shirt f shirt freshman, right,
so he still they don't say he was a sophomore.
Academically Okay, probably academically, yes, Paul.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Then we need a designation for someone who's a second
year rookie, red shirt rookie or whatever maybe called, because
no one would.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
We want to get a hold of somebody at the
NBA home office because they love hearing from us really
early in the morning.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Send these emails as soon as.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
They get in. So imagine, you know, you got Tommy
who's showing up. You just walked in at nine o two,
and he's sitting down having his coffee, having a donut,
and you're going, wait, I got an email from Todd Fritz. Uh,
why is ched Holman considered a rookie? Blake Griffin. Blake
Griffin right, he he won Rookie of the Year in
(17:29):
his second year. Where was your outrage then, Paul?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
You had to sit me down.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Yeah, Paul, it's okay, No, he's not a rookie. Let
me take a break and we'll settle on a poll
question today. We're off to a flying start, all right,
We're back after this.

Jamal Crawford, Turners sports analyst, former NBA player, three time
NBA sixth Man of the Year, Jamal we spent a
(19:01):
lot of time on this ched. Holmgren was named the
All Rookie Team his second year in the league. Where
do you stand on rookies who are in their second
year and they make a rookie team or some have
won Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Well, it was his first time on the court, so
I'm okay with that, But I think absolutely him being
able to watch the game, get stronger, getting the rhythm
of NBA travel, getting the rhythm of how the NBA
works without actually playings. It's almost like having the answers
to the test because you start seeing things a little
bit differently. And he'll surepare you for that second year,
but your first teching year.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Playing well, he's kind of a red shirt freshman, isn't he.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
Yeah, in a way, it absolutely is, and that could
be some of the foundation for his career going forward,
just being able to get all that knowledge.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
First, all right, let's turn our attention to tonight's gain.
Can you remember a team with this much pressure on
it to win, that they have to win, that they
have to win.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
I would have to go back to like the Heatles
with the heat Yeah, they had a lot of pressure
on them when they got together, you know. So I
think for these guys, it's all enough and everybody knows
that it's been like that all year.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Okay, how does it not happen? Like they have the talent,
they are young, and it felt like that pressure got
to them before. How do you learn how to win
a championship?
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Well, you learn from your mistakes, and they actually have
been to the championship series. I think for them, and
I've said it all year, they're as talented as five
as there is in the league. But what can get
them is trust. Are you going to trust the same
way you do when you're up ten, when you're up
fifteen the balls hopping, everybody's touching it, or you're gonna
revert to going one on one and more isolation basketball.
(20:51):
And I think when they do that, that's when they
allow teams to stay around, and that's when they put
even more pressure on themselves that they don't need to.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Yeah, we keep waiting tooint Jason Tatum is maybe the
face of the league, but I don't know if he's
ever going to be the face of the league. He's
a wonderful player, but I don't even know if he
wants to be the face of the league. What do
you what is the rap on Jason Tatum?
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Well, he's accomplished a lot at a young age. I
think when he actually wins the championship, because they'll win one.
When he wins one, I think people will look at
his whole career in the totality of the stuff he
has done, and Dan, to be honest with you, after
the Lebron and the KDS and the steps, you know,
continue on, I'm not sure there will be just one
face of the league. I think you'll need a bunch
(21:36):
of guys. I think you'll need Victor, You'll need the Checks,
you need Tatum, you need, you need Luca, you need
all these guys to kind of help push the league
forward because seeing the Lebron's and Steps and those type
of guys is that's gonna be tough to top.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
How much did bowing out the way he did against
Anton the Wolves is gonna put a dent in the
jokers Lifegacy, I'm not.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Sure he bowed out. I think he brought it. I've
watching him up close for as much as I did
this This playoff run is fascinating. You really have to
combine four or five players to be this guy like
he's damn, He's not just playing against the players. He's
playing against the coach. And that's what makes me different.
I'm not always playing get you guys, let me see
(22:24):
what this So he is a one of one and
he is special and fun to watch.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Okay, but what is it about him? Because he's like
a hybrid there of players. It's not like you go, oh,
you know he reminds me of because I don't know
if there's anybody like him.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
No, there's not just one person like him. He has
some of the Kings footwork and he brings out the
Kareem skyhook on the same possession all then he'll know,
look you and pass like magic the bird. The thing
that's interesting, really special about him, besides his mind is
he can kind of blend to eras he can play
nineties bullies ball and get in there and make you
look small. Or he can step out here threes, get
(23:06):
to the dribble, handoffs and make plays on perimeter like
the players do today at the bigger guys. So he's
the one guy that can kind of wind two ears.
Oh and I can score forty whenever I don't whenever
I want, but sometimes I'll score forty when I don't
want to as well. And he can pass and find everybody.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
He's a special player, yeah, one of the best, and
he's one of the selfless players. When you think of
great players. Steve Nash comes to mind. He won a
couple MVPs. They had to tell him to shoot. You know,
Jokers had a couple of seasons where you know, he
was like twentieth in shot attempts, and that's saying a
whole lot for an MVP.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
And the really, really, really special thing about him out
of all the players I've seen, I studied the game
for a long time. I was just thinking about this.
I studied it since I was eight years old, so
thirty six years for a superstar. He makes the right play,
probably more consistently, at a higher percentage than most superstars
I've ever seen. Like, alls for me to pass ten
straight times, I'll do that with a smile. If it
(24:03):
calls for me to score five straight times, I'll do it.
He makes the right play almost every single time down
the court, and that's that's almost impossible to do.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Who's a better passer, Joker or Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
I would give Joker the advantage only because his height.
He can see different angles. Care I'm a basketball guy, right,
I'm I gotta say that Beholds is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Does Denver need to make big changes to its roster?
Speaker 5 (24:35):
I think they need to solidify their events a little
bit more. I think when they lost uh Brown last
year and they lost Jeff Green, I thought they hurt
them big time, you know, because it took out guys
that can switch. It took out athletic guys, It took
off vet guys. It took out almost another set of
playmakers as well. If you saw when Jamal Murray really
got off in the series, he got off the ball,
he let Gordon or Joker bring the ball up, which
(24:57):
freed him to kind of play the attack. And their
team is built for him to be the attacker. So
I think they need a couple more playmakers.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Our dynasty is dead in the NBA.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
I'm not sure they're dead, but I think they'll be
harder to to, you know, to do when you when
you go back and think about Jordan winning three, taking
me a year and a half off and come back
and win three more, we will never see that again.
And especially the way player movement is as well, the
way contracts are structured. Guys, remember in the eighties, like
we knew everybody on the Celtics knew. It was ange
Bird and Harris and mckille and all these guys nearby
(25:30):
the Lakers with Scott and Magic and Worthy and Rambis
and Kareem. So we don't identify our players like that
any more. Just being with that team now, we just
kind of follow the player.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Yeah, I wonder what the salary structure with the salary
camp and moving forward, can you have big threes? And
I don't know if you can, I don't. I mean,
Phoenix has it, but it's not going to work for them. Okay.
See as a lot of young players under contract Minnesota,
you know, not necessarily a young I mean, Rudy's been
(26:02):
around a while and so's Cat. But so I don't
know what Boston's got those two guys under contract and
Tatum and Brown. I'm just curious if teams try to
get that third star or they use the money to
maybe even out the roster and you had a little
bit more on the bench.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Well you heard Kendrick Lamar in the in the rep beef,
he says, it's no big three, it's just big me.
Now it was just a big me. It's just I
think you're right. I think it'll be the two star
kind of model, and you go around that. I actually
like that model. Better, to be honest with you, I
think that. Yeah, I think that third guy sacrifice was
a lot and he never gets a chance to be
in and I think the two guys have to figure
(26:41):
it out. And I miss that part of it, Like, Okay,
it's us two, it's those two, but our benches and
our role players and our coach and all that stuff.
They come into the game a lot more. And I
missed that that time period.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Why does it seem like people don't like Drake?
Speaker 5 (26:56):
He's been on top for a long time. Then, like
you know, it's it's it's hard to keep keep that
same further when you're that's why you're damn pastrick, Like what.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Is Drake and Lebron? Is there parallels?
Speaker 5 (27:09):
I could see that absolutely. I think that might be
the basketball version and that might be the rap version.
For sure. They've been on top for a long time.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Who's better at what they do? Drake or Lebron?
Speaker 5 (27:21):
I would say Lebron. I think. I think Drake is
one of the greatest artists ever. I think Lebron's one
of the greatest basketball players ever. But had to hire
a hire tea.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Do you believe Lebron's not involved in the coaching search
for the Lakers?
Speaker 5 (27:38):
I think Lebron if he says it's now, I'm gonna
take him for his word. But I would think a
player of that magnitude they kind of know what's going on.
At least in my experiences of playing with top players,
they were in the loop, and when they were in
the loop, they were a little upset by that.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Okay, but Lebron does a podcast with JJ Reddick. Yes,
do you think at some point, maybe when they're not
recording that, Lebron says something to JJ or JJ says
something to Bron about coaching the Lakers.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
There has to be some conversation, right, Yeah, they respect
each other's basketball intellect. They would not have done a
pod together. That could just be normal friends talking like
we're talking coaching right now, right, So I'm sure they've
had some type of conversation about that.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
What advice would you give Bronnie James? You know what.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
I watched him at the Combine and even before that.
You can go back to my tweets. I love how
he plays, I love how he was raised, his humility.
And now I'm in the AAEUST circuit because I'm coaching
my son, so I know what it's like to be
like you know, the famous kid, and everybody's kind of
watching you and hoping things don't go well for you.
He hands it beautifully and he knows how to play
the game. And what I'm not in the comparison part
(28:47):
of it, but just watching him, he's athletic, he can
shoot it. He makes the right play almost all the time.
So he'll find his way and he'll definitely be a
pro at what round and what pick I don't know,
but he'll be a pro because he has the right.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Makeup, right, Okay, but if I take away the name,
if I take away the name, let's be honest. Yeah,
and you went to the combine, are you noticing Brownie James?
Speaker 5 (29:10):
Absolutely? Six to one forty inch vertical that's gonna jump
off the page first, and then you shoot twenty five
threes you make nineteen of them. I'm watching that as well,
and he's making the right play for somebody to have
the name that long and not try to play up
to that pressure. Yeah, I think that's impressive been itself.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
What's your What was your vertical?
Speaker 5 (29:28):
It wasn't forty, it was thirty two and I needed
another eight, so it made me I made a ball
eight from somebody else. I think it was like thirty four.
Maybe it wasn't forty, Yes for.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Sure, Okay, but what was it? Like the best leaper
you saw where you go? That's that's not real, Like
that's not fair.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
I've seen a couple of them, Vince Carter. James flight
White was taken off from the free throw line and
he's assistant coach with the Timberlves right now in wind
Milling in high school. Derreck Rose, when I saw him,
he was like a world class tracked apple. He was
like he's he has a super charger. Didn't buy people
(30:05):
forget how athletic and how great he was before any injuries.
Derrick row is one of my favorites.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Wasn't uh White from Florida?
Speaker 5 (30:15):
I think he was from d C. He may have
went to Florida playing Florida. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think
you're right. I think you're right. James flight White, what
about you? Then? Who did you? And of course m
J right like he some guys off one foot or
two feet he was doing like who are you? Who
are you watching?
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Oh? I go back. First guy I ever saw who
was different was Elgin Baylor where he just yeah, his
his elevation was was something where he went, Okay, that's different.
I didn't see Russell play, but I saw just about
everybody else athletically. Doc doctor j in traffic was so
(30:54):
great at dunking because he would just get it go
like big ham boom, throw it down.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Darnell Hillman doctor Uh. I think they call him doctor
dunk or something. Aba big afro Darnell Hillman. I remember
Connie Hawkins, remember, Yeah, trying to think who else might
have been where you just watch and you go, amen,
that guy could hit his head on the rim right now,
(31:22):
that that's old school. Going back.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
Kevin Harland asked me something, and I'm going to ask
you if you could only watch a player who could
handle the ball like magic, right, not magic Johnson wud
like magic look beautiful, somebody who had the best jumper ever,
and somebody who could fly through there. You can only
watch one game of that person. Who would it be?
Who's your style?
Speaker 2 (31:47):
So who's my player that has all of those?
Speaker 5 (31:50):
No one player that had the best at that? Who
would you rather watch? The ball handler or the shoes?
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Well you and me are shooters, yes, so yeah, yeah,
I would take a shooter just like I love, I
like maravich Is is one of the best ball handlers ever,
and and Kyrie is in there as well. I mean
(32:19):
there's there's a few guys who were unbelievable and by
ball handling. I always say, how are you in traffic?
Because that's really what I want to see? If tight spaces,
can you get out of the tight space? And Kyrie's great,
great point dunking, I don't know, like I just know,
(32:43):
I know, but unless he's jumping over Frederick Weiss, I mean,
it's it's just like I I got to see Dominique.
Dominique always tomahawked like he didn't do one handed, and
he did it in traffic, and I saw Doctor J
like that. I got spoiled. So Vince's, you know, incredible.
But I always found the guys that could jump weren't
(33:04):
necessarily the best players because they relied. It's like a
beautiful woman who doesn't develop her personality, like, hey, I'm beautiful,
look at me. Dunk and then can you play? You know,
can you shoot, can you play deep?
Speaker 5 (33:18):
You know?
Speaker 2 (33:18):
All those things. So I'm not as big on the
dunking part of it.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
Okay, I think I chose the the guy in the
type spaces. I thought shooting was cool, dunking was cool,
but the guy that that's what the magic happened. So
I think I chose. If I could watch one game,
I think it would be the Kyrie type player.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Is Kyrie the most talented player who ever played the game?
Speaker 5 (33:41):
The most talented?
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Yes, not the best talented.
Speaker 5 (33:45):
I would say he's one of the most talented and
one of the most skilled. I think Jordan checks both boxes.
I think Jordan's the most talented. I think he's the
most skilled. I think he's the best player. I think
he checks every box for me personally, the Kyrie talent wise,
he is up there. He's the guy that even the
talented guys look at and say, how do you do that?
And that's what that's right, like, that's what separates him
(34:07):
for sure.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
What's the picture over your shoulder, your right right storter,
left shoulder, right shoulder.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
I think that's Jordan, right.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
I don't know, you tell me, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
Jordan, it's Jordan. He's ever president, always president.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
What is he doing in the picture.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
He's given me death, He's given me death. And that
was that was his first time returning to Chicago, and
he had like a thirty minute stand ovation. He had
to tell them to stop clapping for him so he
could play the game. It was that game.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
How'd you do against him?
Speaker 5 (34:40):
That game? That game? I think I had double figures? Uh,
I think I had double figures. And I think we
ended up winning that game. Okay, So I just came
back to me. The first game he came back, I
was hurt. That was the first time I played against
him though, and I think we won that game. But
the first game he came back, they won the game,
but he gave me a shoot. Was that first time
(35:01):
he came back to Chicago.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
You still have them.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
I still have his first and last shoes he ever
wore against the boards the games.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Look at you. Yeah, yeah, don't sell them. Don't sell
them never ever, ever ever.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
I'll sell me first I go before.
Speaker 8 (35:16):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Great to catch up with you. As always, we covered
a lot of ground here. Who would have thought we'd
be talking, you know, Drake and Lebron.
Speaker 5 (35:24):
Yes, thank you, Jamal, thanks, you appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
That's Jamal Crawford, Turner sports analyst, three time NBA sixth
Man of the Year, one of Marvit's favorite players.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
He's so entertaining.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
He is great.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
He's great. YouTube is your friend, guys, YouTube Jamal Carford highlights.
You won't be disappointed.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
You can do that during the commercial break for sure. Yes,
we're back after this.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
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 WAPP.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
The freshly minted PGA champions andersfully back on the program. Congratulations,
How much of this is joy? How much of this
is relief? That's a it's a mixed bag. I'd say
relief shortly after? Uh been waking up pretty happy ever since. Well,
(36:20):
I understand that you're waking after you've won the title, though,
But what's it like though? When somebody said, man, there's
the best golfer who's never won a major.
Speaker 10 (36:29):
It's I mean, that's sort of the conversation I would
have in the mirror with myself, to be completely honest.
So I was saying that before everyone else was, So,
you know, it was unfortunate the media picked up on
what I was thinking.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
But what was your answer? If you're talking to yourself
in the mirror.
Speaker 11 (36:43):
Just just to hang tough.
Speaker 10 (36:45):
You know, you got to be resilient at times, stubborn
at times. And I have those traits ingrained in me,
and I definitely put them to use.
Speaker 11 (36:55):
To uh to whether the storm of not really winning
a whole lot in the last couple of years.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
How did the nerves ring? How nervous were you.
Speaker 11 (37:05):
That last putt?
Speaker 10 (37:06):
I was nervous, I'm not gonna lie I was, but
I was surprisingly more calm than I thought. You know,
I think I kept saying, you know, I knock on
the door till you knock it down. And I had
so many close calls, and I think all those moments
sort of hardened me for that final moment to to
sort of walk up eighteen and be cool and calm
in that moment. So it's you know, all those close
(37:28):
calls definitely paid off, and I was able to put.
Speaker 11 (37:30):
Them to use, which was nice.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
You put a little pace on that putt, though.
Speaker 11 (37:36):
I told myself at the beginning of the day that
just get the ball of the hole.
Speaker 10 (37:40):
You know, on on a lot of my sundays, when
I look back at some film, there's a lot of I've.
Speaker 11 (37:45):
Hit a lot of good shots.
Speaker 10 (37:46):
I've executed a lot of good shots, a lot of
hesitation and just getting it done, and so the greens
are a little bit slower because of the rain. And
it was something I consciously told myself is to be aggressive.
It's going to take a low or because people are
shooting nothing, and you know, it was. It was an
interesting major Sunday, just in the fact that I had
to shoot seven hundre or six hundred to win. But
(38:09):
being aggressive was something I told myself when I woke up.
It's something I need to do.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Speaking of the scores, are you okay with somebody winning
a major twenty one under par?
Speaker 5 (38:18):
Like?
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Was the with the scores too low for a major?
In your opinion? Yeah, I don't blame you hug the trophy.
Speaker 11 (38:31):
But it's there's there there. It's it's tough.
Speaker 5 (38:35):
You know.
Speaker 10 (38:36):
You pick out an incredible venue like Valhalla, It's got
that championship feel, it's a massive property.
Speaker 11 (38:42):
It allows for this.
Speaker 10 (38:43):
I looked up on eighteen and I looked around and
I was like, holy smokes, there's a lot of people here.
Speaker 5 (38:47):
You know.
Speaker 10 (38:48):
It's like something that one of the cooler things I've
ever seen. And then how quiet it got right before
I hit my putt was something so crazy as well
that I really haven't talked a whole lot with other
people outside of my own circle. But when the weather
comes through and you know, it's foggy, it's it's humid,
it rains, and then you add in the.
Speaker 11 (39:08):
Fact that it wasn't very windy.
Speaker 10 (39:10):
You know, I don't care how much equipment, subair people
you have trying to get fans on the course.
Speaker 11 (39:16):
It's just it is what it is, you know.
Speaker 10 (39:18):
So I think for fans, you know, at least it
was very I hope it was very entertaining, and it
was very dramatic.
Speaker 11 (39:26):
That's like the least we can offer from our sport.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Do you imagine that that's your first that Jack did
that eighteen times and Tiger did it fifteen times? Yeah,
Like that's crazy, isn't it. But everything you've gone through
as good as you are, and you got one and
then all of a sudden Tiger can walk by and go, yeah,
you got fourteen to go Yeah.
Speaker 10 (39:47):
No, it makes it feel pretty small pretty quickly when
you compare yourself to the best that I've ever played
the game, no doubt about it.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
He's Xanderschoffley. I know you don't get too emotional, but
I think your dad gets emotional, but he wasn't there.
And then I think you talked about at the press
conference that you called him right before you're going to
go get the trophy.
Speaker 5 (40:08):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
I was wondering, you know how that was going to
affect you as you're going out there. You didn't want
to be crying for posterity. You know history is going
to show you, you know, just big tears out there.
What was the phone call like to dead.
Speaker 11 (40:22):
Yeah, I mean, I'm a grown man.
Speaker 10 (40:23):
I'm not afraid to show shows, show some tears when
when it's right, you know what I mean, it's it's
all good.
Speaker 11 (40:28):
But uh, I was.
Speaker 10 (40:30):
I mean I was actually when Austin came in and
gave me a big hug. I mean, I think both
of us were more emotional than we thought we would be.
I think it was just this big, this big build
up for us, and we've just we've kept our head
in the sand and just kept our head down for
so long that everything just kind of came out and
it was like, holy smokes, Like I am way more
emotional than I thought I was ever going to be.
And so when I called my dad. I mean, I
would have bet that at the farm that he was
(40:52):
going to be crying and so, but as soon as
I heard his voice and you know, I started talking
to him.
Speaker 11 (40:58):
I was immediately like, I have to I gotta hang up.
Speaker 10 (41:02):
I can't continue this phone call for more than a
minute or I'm gonna start crying here on the phone.
Speaker 5 (41:06):
So it was.
Speaker 10 (41:07):
And then I called my mom like half an hour later,
and then she started crying again, and I was like,
holy smoked on TV again.
Speaker 11 (41:14):
So it's like, I need to talk to you guys
in a little bit.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
He's the winner of the PGA Championship. Xander Schawffley back
on the program. When you win, is it direct opposit
for the check?
Speaker 11 (41:27):
Typically? Yeah? Yeah on Tuesday? Tuesday?
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Usually, Oh so today you're getting the check today?
Speaker 10 (41:33):
Yeah, today's or for on the PGA Tour. That's normally
how it happens with major championships. You know, it's different,
it's different how they go about it.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
Do you check your ATM? Like how does this work?
Speaker 11 (41:45):
I have not check checked my bank account.
Speaker 4 (41:49):
I have not.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
To be completely honest, are you do you retire the
outfit that you wore on Sunday?
Speaker 10 (41:56):
I pushed, I watched some highlights. I really wanted to
win in that outfit. I wore it on Sunday at
riv didn't win. I wore it, I think at the
players didn't win, and so you know, everyone's kind of
got their thing. I mean, it's just one of my
favorite shirts that I wear from Dessign right now. And
it's comfortable and I liked it, and you know, it's
got a little bit of color compared to everything else
(42:17):
I'm wearing right now.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
So yeah, but what are you gonna do, Like You're
gonna put that on a mannequin and not wear it anymore.
Speaker 11 (42:22):
I'm sure my mom will. My mom will want to.
Speaker 10 (42:25):
My parents usually are like the safekeepers of my trophies.
I'm actually shocked this one's here with me right now.
It's only because I'm in Florida.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
Uh does the top open on that trophy?
Speaker 5 (42:35):
Well?
Speaker 11 (42:35):
How are you going to drink out of it? My man?
Speaker 2 (42:37):
What's been in there in the past forty eight hours?
Speaker 10 (42:42):
Yeah, probably like three or four different kinds of alcohol
and lips.
Speaker 2 (42:47):
Who got to sip out of it?
Speaker 5 (42:49):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (42:50):
My team?
Speaker 2 (42:50):
My team also no other golfers.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
Now.
Speaker 5 (42:54):
Now, I.
Speaker 10 (42:56):
Was able to add a few friends there that caddie
for other players, and I was like, all, I was like.
Speaker 11 (43:01):
You guys aren't drinking out of this.
Speaker 10 (43:03):
I was like, you guys can drink out of something
like this when your player wins wins a tournament, Like
I'm not going to hold this over your guys's head.
So everyone on my team and my family that they
drank out of it.
Speaker 2 (43:11):
Well, that's like the Stanley Cup. It's been a lot
of different places and seeing a lot of different things,
but this is it. It was like a one spin
here with forty eight hours where everybody got a chance
to see it and then goes back home.
Speaker 10 (43:25):
Well once it goes to the West coast. You know,
I'm kind of an old soul now in order to
get at golf, it's it's hard to go out and
party and rage too hard. So my parents, though, they're
probably going to play around time with this thing, and
I'm sure they're.
Speaker 2 (43:38):
Going to use this thing way more than I did.
And promise you that do you have a trophy case
big enough for that? That's a big trophy.
Speaker 10 (43:45):
This is actually a ninety percent replica. The Wanamaker is
ten percent bigger than this, So this is actually smaller
and a little bit lighter.
Speaker 11 (43:53):
It's heavy though.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
Did your caddie leave during the tournament?
Speaker 11 (44:01):
Did my caddie leave?
Speaker 12 (44:03):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (44:03):
Who was the uh? Sky left? Okay, okay, sorry, classic
mix up. Well, I'm sure Showflee and Scheffler and it happens,
except for what happened on Friday. But what how did
you hear that about Scotty when somebody told you this
is what happened.
Speaker 11 (44:23):
Yeah, I woke up.
Speaker 10 (44:25):
My wife showed me an article immediately, and I was like,
I was like, it has to be a prank, and
you know, and then you know, we turned the TV
on and it wasn't a prank, and then you know,
we found out someone passed. There was a fatal accident,
and then it was raining, and I knew how hectict
was getting in out of the course, and so it
felt like it could have happened to any one of us.
And Sky is a great dude. I really hope he,
(44:47):
you know, comes out uh clean. He doesn't really deserve
to have those charges on his on his record.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
Are you playing this week?
Speaker 5 (44:54):
I am not.
Speaker 11 (44:56):
You're spent, Thank goodness.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
Well you got to sober up and you're probably mentally
physically exhausted as well.
Speaker 11 (45:04):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 10 (45:05):
I don't drink often, so definitely was a little bit
bruised waking up. But you know, I was on like
three and a half hours asleep and I woke up
just wide awake and happy. So it's you know, I'm
definitely going to like crash hard here very soon.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
Congrats, great golf, and happy for you and thanks for
joining us, Skin, thank you, thanks for having me all
right at Sanders Shoftley, winner of the PGA Championship. Yeah,
you don't want to say, hey, the scores, you know,
the course was too easy. But I wonder with the
golfers when you're playing in a major that we're so
used to having it be like, hey, somebody's six under
(45:43):
and they win the tournament, not twenty one. You know,
the US Open usually they want to make it really,
really difficult, and you know British Open sometimes depending on
the course or the weather, the Masters sometimes as well.
But you know, the PGA revolves as well, so different venues,
(46:05):
and I think it's one of those where the weather
was conducive and I kept thinking if they had more
rain or wind than maybe, but uh, it was optimum
scoring weekend for everybody. There A couple of phone calls
in here Nate and Colorado. Hey Nate, what's on your mind?
Speaker 13 (46:26):
Good morning, gentlemen. M glad you could get through to
me this morning.
Speaker 2 (46:30):
Yep.
Speaker 13 (46:30):
Yeah, Hey, CP, you've got to get Sandler to get
Tiger in that movie, because, just on the off chance
that you Tube could be standing on the range in
between takes, if you could look at Tiger and go, hey,
you know you're gripping that club.
Speaker 2 (46:43):
Thanking date. Yeah. Yeah, Well, if I told Ray Allen
I didn't like the position of the ball in his hand,
maybe I'd be looking at Tiger and saying, you know,
I'm coming over the top there, Yeah a little bit.
You know, I like the that the left hand cupped
a little bit more. You don't want you to have
(47:03):
a little bit more lag and your swinging there? Sean
and Indy, Hey Sean, what's on your mind?
Speaker 5 (47:10):
Oh?
Speaker 12 (47:11):
What's happening in DP?
Speaker 5 (47:12):
Hey?
Speaker 12 (47:12):
But I was listening to your conversation earlier about the
Dead Mom's Club and figured, if you do choose to
go down this road, we could have an annual run,
a five k or something for the Dead Mom's Club,
and we could call it run DMC.
Speaker 2 (47:29):
Okay, Yeah, I'm not ready to embrace the Dead Mom's Club. Yeah,
it just feels cruel. It's just I don't know. It
doesn't have the kind of tongue in cheeks sense of
humors raising a toast of dad dead Dad's Club, Like
Mom is different. Mom's off limits. I mean, don't say
(47:50):
anything about Mom. Heck, yeah, Gary and Iowa, Hi Gary, Hey.
Speaker 6 (47:57):
Dan, Dad, thanks for calling me. Yes, Hey, I got
a sports uniform suggestion.
Speaker 13 (48:01):
Maybe Todd Fritz wrote this one.
Speaker 12 (48:04):
Now hear me out women's college volleyball shorts.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
Thank you, goodbye, Thank you so any uniform with women's
college volleyball?
Speaker 5 (48:18):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (48:19):
Duke and Boise. Hey Duke, what's on your mind?
Speaker 6 (48:24):
Hey Dan? Thanks taking the call. Six' one two fifteen.
You guys were talking about the uniforms and some of
the worst changes ever. Somebody mentioned the Mariners going to
the Chiel. I would just like to offer up in
general Seattle as the most horrific changes of all time,
the Sonics going from that class of clean, white and
(48:46):
green to whatever it was they made Gary Taton and
Sean kemp ware the Jim Mora Junior days of the
Seahawks that rebooked Travesty and the Mariners finally somewhat gotten
back on track. But Seattle as a whole, you guys
got to do better.
Speaker 2 (49:04):
Man, Well they got the kracking now. Dudes are awful
as well. Okay, Duke, I love my cracking sweatshirt. Here
Scott in Illinois, Hey Scott, what's on your mind?
Speaker 5 (49:18):
All right?
Speaker 2 (49:18):
Dan?
Speaker 14 (49:18):
First time, long time six to five brick. Hey, that's
probably as pressure you got a figer that the Yankees
from the Bad News Bears. I mean, the dad went
out and whacked the kid pitching in the middle of
the game.
Speaker 6 (49:34):
He loses that. Lord knows what's gonna happen when he
goes home.
Speaker 2 (49:36):
All right, Well, Bad News Bears a little pressure there.
Vic Morrow was the manager manager for the other team,
went out there and yelled at his son, and then
his son held the ball. Very I don't want to
ruin the ending of Bad News Bears, but dramatic moment there, Yes, Martin,
when the.
Speaker 4 (49:56):
Mom walked off, all I could think it was, Okay, Dad,
I see what you're doing. I respect you because mom
was a fox.
Speaker 2 (50:06):
The mom yeah in that time, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,
she was hot.
Speaker 4 (50:11):
Okay. Yeah, you're just kind of looking at me like.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
Yeah, well, I didn't know where you were going with it.
Speaker 4 (50:18):
I respected the manager for his decisions and picking a partner.
Back to you, DPR Oh sorry, DP, one more thing, Yeah,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (50:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (50:28):
You know what, what, as far as dads and moms
are concerned, you're right as far as we hold moms
near and dear to our hearts because the fact that
we use your mama jokes, and that could start a
fight if somebody says your daddy, someone says, okay, so.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
Well I do have my bathrobe that says daddy on it.
Speaker 4 (50:46):
Oh, that's a whole different convo.
Speaker 11 (50:51):
Fritzy.
Speaker 2 (50:54):
Oh you know those sonic uniforms that Gary Payton had
had sonics, you know, across the chest and then had
the yellow numerals that looked pretty good. And those were
good teams too, Peyton, Sean Kemp, Dead Left Shrimp, Nate McMillan.
(51:14):
That was a good team, fun team, Seattle, great City too.
All right, we'll take a break. Reggie Miller will join
us on the program tomorrow. We'll recap Game one tonight
and we'll get you ready for Game one. Reg will
be able to call Western Conference Finals with Minnesota and
Dallas
