In honor of caps Lock Day, I'm going to talk
as if it's caps Lock Day on the radio for
the next fourteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
I like this idea and I want to try it too.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
All right, now that you've get jumped on board, I
decided I don't like it and we're going to do
something else. All right, Okay, the phone lines are open
for two five to five, eight eleven. And before I
completely change the subject, let's go ahead and get to
a couple of phone calls.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Here.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
We got Patrick on the line. Patrick, welcome to the
show today. It sounds like you got something you have
a beef with something I said earlier.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Yeah, something about to being a bandwagoner if you're a
Laker or a Celtic fan. Yeah, I'm just gonna wanting
elaborating why I'm a Laker fan.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Okay, go ahead, Okay.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Well, I don't know how holdho you are. But back
in the day, there used to be a team that
played here in Omaha that was called the Kansas City
Omak Kings.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Well, okay, even before that, back in the late sixties.
I'm sixty four years old, so back in the late sixties,
eight right, because you used to have a guy that
used to play on their team called World Chamberlain, and
I always thought the guy was cool. The main reason
was because they wore a headman at the time, nobody
else ever wore a headband.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
And there's some other stuff that I used to read
about him in Sports Illustrated that I will I don't
want to talk about on the air. But when the
fac the omalal Kings moved to Sacramento, I called them
the Sacramento Queens. It was easy for me to. I
was basically they were my second favorite team, and all
my buddies like the Celtics because I don't know if
you remember back in the day, they were predominantly white organization,
(01:25):
and you know, oh, you got to be a Celtics
fanily because they're all no, no, I don't have to
and I've got to said, and I'm sixty four years
old now and I'm never going to jump off.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
All right, Well, okay, so you're Patrick, I'll be honest,
you kind of fit into my exception category. I was
more talking about people, you know, Matt Case and is Age,
you know, like in our thirties, who you know, we
had we had the the we have cable television, like
we have the internet. Like, you could fall in love
with any team that you want. Why would you pick
the Lakers and Celtics except for everybody else likes them?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
You? You?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Actually you you had a much different reason, and I
can accept your reasoning for that.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I grew up. I grew up at the Lakers and
the Celtics be predominantly the face of the NBA. Yeah,
back then on they paid one sixty I think it
was sixty two or sixty.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Four games, right, And how many of those are even
on television?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Right?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Like most of them are very many? All Lakers and
Celtics might get this some.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Playoffs in the NBA finals, But that was it wasn't
like it is now. I mean, like you said, you
can you can watch any team you want, every you know,
whenever they're off.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yeah, NBA League pass, it's pretty awesome.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I'll be honest with you, Hey, Patrick, I appreciate you
calling in enjoy the Lakers tonight. I'm not rooting for them,
but I can understand why you are. And maybe we
can bond over the Kings or something. Maybe we both
can just like the Kings as well, you know, with
their Omaha rates.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
We both disliked the Kings. I call them the Sacramento Queens. Yeah. Yeah,
they are my least They are my least favorite franchise
on all thirty teams.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Is that because they moved from Omaha or just because
they're generally not very good?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
No, they're good, but they've gotten better. But yes, because
they moved out a Homo. But they used to play
in the centergon of time and we'd be lucky to
get a thousand people to go good Day.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Then they were terrible then too.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yeah it was Oh, they were horrible. They did have
a guy, his name was Tiny Archibal. He used to
play for him. He actually the Celtics in the Ende
of the Screw. But he delivered the league and scoring
an assist in all in one year. And I think
that record today.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
It does.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
It does what Russell Westbrook got dangerously close to getting
both of those, but he did not get both of those.
Nate Archibald is the only guy in NBA history to
lead the league in both assistant points in the same year.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
That's pretty cool. Hey, Patrick, we should talk basketball again sometime.
Call us again, all right, Thanks?
