Speaker 1 (00:00):
I like my job, but there are things that I'd
like to be if I could have been instead of
a radio guy. This was not like I was five
years old and was like, this is all I wanted
to do. Well, you know what my first stream was
that I can remember what I wanted to be a
basketball player.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
M me too.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I wanted to make it to the NBA. I was
going to be an NBA player. I fantasized about it.
I fantasized about being a really great athlete and like
what I'd be Like. I had an entire league of
imaginary players that I played against and with, you know
what I mean. You know, it's just like when you
care about stuff so much but you don't really know
how to go about doing anything about it. When you're
(00:40):
like seven or eight years old, you know what you do.
You just make imaginary friends and then you get to
be the star of your little world that you've created.
And I lived in that world probably for like, gosh years.
I mean it was years that I would just be like, yeah,
now this entire league that I made, I'm going to
play a different sport, you know, because those were my
friends and my athlete friends, and I just kept dreaming
(01:02):
one day I'm gonna get tall, I'm gonna get strong,
and I'm going to play in the NBA. And I
got taller. I got stronger than I was when I
was eight years old. You want to know how short
I am compared to normal NBA guys, or how thin
and light I am compared to most NBA guys, especially
(01:22):
at my size. Alan Iverson is the same height as me.
Did you know that me and al Iverson same height
are right at six feet? You know what Alan Everson
did that I couldn't do. He could drib a little
a lot better than me. He could take contact a
lot better than I could. He's a He's a marvel.
If you go back, like history books are going to
look back at him and say, efficiency wise, this is
(01:43):
one of the worst players that we've ever celebrated. I mean,
he's low efficiency in almost every possible way. But man,
is there been anybody more influential in style and in
heart that you saw play in your entire life. I mean,
he's kind of like an anomaly there, and I think
he rightfully is celebrated as a guy who really changed
the game.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
He was a product of his time too, you know,
the way he played the game exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
If he comes along ten years later, how different is
his development the way? We could say that about everybody, right,
And that's what makes guys like Jordan so great because
they kind of redefined things within their era. Now here's
my thing. Why is the NBA suffering? And this has
come up because they're also did you see anything in
the All Star Game this past weekend?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I did not see any of it. And I was
a part of the crowd that used to like it,
and now I just it's like not care less in
the players of that way too. Right, Well, you want
to know something, The NHL, instead of doing a traditional
All Star Game, did this thing called the Four Nations
Face Off, And we've talked about that just a little bit,
and tonight is the final of that in Boston. It's
basically a week long tournament with four countries Canada, the
(02:50):
United States, Sweden, and Finland, four of the top hockey
teams in the world. And they got all of their
best NHL guys that are healthy playing on those teams.
So this is not just like college guys are like
amateur guys. Instead of playing All Star Game, they did
this Four Nations face off thing, and you know what,
it was awesome. It's been awesome. US and Canada played
(03:11):
last Saturday. I don't know if you saw that, but
they started the game with three fights, like they dropped
the gloves and fought in the first ten seconds of
the game. It was amazing, right, and it's like, oh,
these guys care about this, these guys care about this.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
The same night that was happening. Guys are you know,
win Min Yama and Chris Pauler, you know, not even
shooting the shots in the skills competition. They're just like
taking the rack off, like the balls off the racket,
just throwing them and then they got disqualified. Like that's
the difference in what we care about. PK Suban is
a guy who is a he's an analyst on ESPN
(03:46):
for their hockey coverage now. But PK Suban is a
pretty polarizing figure. First of all, he's won a few
American at least Canadian, but a few American athletes who
are African American who play in the NHL or played
in the NHL. And he had a long, a pretty
long career. But he's a polarizing guy. People thought he
was a dirty player. People are talking about, you know,
(04:06):
different things that he would do on the ice, and
obviously he's got that racial thing. We're in hockey. There's
not a lot of people of color that play the game.
Now that number is increasing now, but he was the
most high profile African American player of his generation and
now he's an analyst. I'm going to play this and
I may interrupt it as we go, but it's just
(04:27):
a couple of minutes. This was on ESPN this morning
of PK Suban doing the best that he can to
explain why people are caring about what the NHL has
got with this four nation's face off thing, and why
people are caring less and less about the NBA. And
I think we need to hear this.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
What are you playing for? Like you, if you're really
about it, if you're really about sports, then you're about
two things, your teammates and the fans. And I'm sorry,
it doesn't matter how much money you're making. When you
do not show up to play, you're letting your team down.
When you do not show up to play, you're letting
the fans down that are paying you forty fifty sixty million.
(05:07):
I don't care if you're getting three hundred million, congratulations,
But these people in here are paying twenty five hundred
dollars a ticket five grand. That are blue collared, hard
working people. If you don't get your head wrapped around that,
you shouldn't be in pro sports because how are we
going to grow? How do we expect you to be
an example? Well, guess what you don't want to be.
You are one. You're on the biggest stage. You just
(05:29):
said it. They make the most money. You're an example.
You gotta show up. You got to take that on.
I'm sick and tired of making athletes greats, all time
greats that aren't the best examples. Those are the people
that we want our kids to follow. That we want
athletes to follow. That helps us in our game.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Stephen A.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
You want athletes to be educated on this and understand this.
They got to understand the importance of showing up to
the All Star Game and being on the court and
playing banged up sometimes and playing injured maybe at times,
thank you, and participating. Because here's the thing, because you're
making one hundred two hundredree hundred million, you should be
out there banged up. You should be That's why we
(06:09):
pay you is to max out. We talk about greatness
in it being the longevity of somebody's career. I don't
care if you play fifty years. I want your best ten.
I want you on the court dominating. I want you
to go all out. I want Michael Jordan, I want Kobe.
That's what I want in every sport. That's the guy
that I follow. Your a different version than that. You
(06:32):
don't get my respect. That's me and that's my angle.
That's who I am, because but I think we got
to be very careful on that.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Oh my goodness, PK. Subon, Can we can we give
him a you and me? Like? Wow? Coming from a
guy that a lot of people have polarizing opinions of,
I don't know anybody who would disagree with that except
the NBA bazillionaires that are you know, taking who would
be taking offensive what he was saying. But holy cow,
(07:01):
what what do you have to say about this?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I just preach, man like, That's all I gotta say,
because that's exactly how I feel as a fan, And
the way he put things is just like that's it
right there, that's it, that's what that's the feeling, that's
the feeling right there, because you got these people who
are making so much money and they're out there putting
out such a little effort sometimes and it's kind of
like you shouldn't be allowed to do that.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Well, And he was alluding to missing the All Star Game.
Lebron James the day of the All Star Game said
I'm not gonna play because of ankle soreness or whatever.
And managing my ankle soreness. He he load management. He
load managed his himself, but didn't announce it early enough
that he was taking it off so somebody else could
take a spot. He did it on the day of,
(07:45):
and then he played last night and had, you know,
just kind of a bad game against the Charlotte Hornets
and they ended up losing in LA right after the
All Star break, So that really helped you out. Lebron,
look that if you could just put that those two
minutes from PK Subah on repeat and play that to
every professional athlete in the entire world, we'd be a
better we'd be a better society.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah, And Lebron James planned it that way. He played
it that way because he wanted his photo. He wanted
to be a part of the festivities. He wanted to
say that he was there. He didn't want to sit
it out, but he was in street clothes. And you
know what, that's a perfect way for the king of
the sport of the last couple decades to leave the sport,
because that's what he's done to the sport. He's made
it a sport of stars and street clothes. Get out
(08:26):
of the street clothes. You're being paid hundreds of millions
of dollars, and so get out there and pour your
heart into the thing. I'm a nineties kid. I grew
up watching that. I'm a New York Knicks fan. I
grew up watching Patrick Ewing go toe to toe with
Michael Jordan game after game, every single game. He doesn't
miss games.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
He like I read somewhere, he missed zero games the
last three years of that Joy of the Bulls three
pat like the second Bull's three P't he missed no games. Yeah,
he didn't miss games when he was older. It was
on the Wizards, not only the Lebron kind of foster
this whole you know thing of like, hey, this generation,
you know, is gonna end up in street close. You
know what, Elsie fostered that more people care about the
(09:05):
movement of players and what team they play for than
the actual product on the court.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
That's true because I'm one of those. I rarely ever
watch an NBA game, but I am genuinely curious about
all the inner in the in and outs of the
movie he did.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
It's not even about like how good of a player
you are or what you're actually doing on the court.
It's about how marketable you are and what team you
play for. And that's why there's only four teams that
ever matter in the NBA from a marketing standpoint, And
even when the Lakers suck, they're still one of the
most important teams in the NBA because the league needs
the Lakers to be good because they can't make the
Charlotte Hornet's marketable.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Well, look the NBA before Larry and before Larry and Magic,
before Burden Magic, I should say they were not the
most popular league.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
And they did have that parody where a lot of
teams mattered, and the seventies is just like a chalk
full of random teams being good in winning. And then
they were like, okay, well, the only way we're gonna
get popular is we need stars, right, And I don't know.
I'm just sitting here as like the NHL is kind
of that like the seventies version of the NBA, where
it's just kind of random in terms of what teams
(10:09):
are good and they don't have the biggest audience. But man,
it's just so much more entertaining to watch. But the
guys care more. But I feel like there could be
a bubble bursting right now. This whole situation is built
to spill, and we could be seeing leaders of the
NBA like ant man like Anthony Edwards who goes out
there and really he goes for the full forty eight minutes.
Oh did you hear Adam Silver say? He suggests forty
(10:32):
minutes now, might be that's the answer. Yeah, let's shorten
the game. So the guys carre. Now we need Skeletor
to not be running the NBA anymore. Actually get a
real man to do it.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I will do it. By the way I wear georts
and negative forty nine degree weather, I will run the
NBA and we will get this thing fixed.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
I thought we were going to make you the next
Senator of Kentucky. We got to figure that out, all right,
we'll wrap up the three o'clock hour Next News already
eleven to ten Kfab.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
And Marie Suman on News Radio eleven ten Kfab.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I loved watching Alan Iverson when I was ten years old,
but I wouldn't say he was the greatest role model
for a ten year old, you know, kid from the
Midwest talking about not wanting to practice. I'll practice, I'm
not going to practice.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I don't want to go to private.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
We're talking about practice that kind of thing, right, the
tattoos and all that stuff back in the day as
a little you know, edgy, right, not a lot of
you know, he wasn't the greatest role model figure, is
kind of what I'm saying. And Kevin Durant kind of
has taken that too. He's like, I'm not here to
be a role model. I'm here ball right, And as
(11:37):
much as you can say that, like PK said in
that rant that he had earlier today on ESPN, he's
like he had, He's making a really good point because
regardless of if you think you are or you're not,
you are because you're in the spotlight, you're getting paid
millions of dollars to be who you are. You have
to understand that there are going to be fans who
(11:59):
your job is to make fans care about you, like
you because they're on your team, or hate you because
you're on their rivals team. And none of these guys
seem to care at all about.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
That, and that is that's being reflected. I think that
Lebron James set that that tone.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
We're talking about continually, and for what it's worth, we're
talking about the NBA mostly right now, but that can
be correlated to baseball a little bit, but really the
NFL as well. There's a lot of guys that play
in the NFL that they they're they just there's a
bubble between them and the fans that they do not burst.
They do not like, they don't care about that. They
(12:36):
hold out because they want more money, and then they
go out there and they play however hard they want
to play, and whether their team wins or loses or
how much that's going on. How much do they actually
care about that? That's the question that I think a
lot of people have and I don't know, there's just
something about what Pek said there. I'm pumped up for
this Canada US game that's happening tonight. Yeah, that's gonna
(12:57):
be insane. I think it over under how many how
many fights? Well, I think we're starting with a fight.
We started with three fights in the first ten seconds
back there in Montreal on Saturday night. I would imagine
that Canada is going to come into the US and
Boston tonight and say, oh, we're we're throwing down. We're
gonna set the tone this time, because the US went
(13:18):
to Canada and beat them, and this is for the
championship of this little mini tournament that they're doing here,
and these guys obviously care about it.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
And you know what, hockey, and that's what we appreciates
about you. That's what I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
But if you could take ten to fifteen percent off
there squarely, Dan, I certainly appreciate it. That game, by
the way, seven o'clock, Star time, our time, ESPN and
on Disney Plus tickets. By the way, seven hundred dollars
just to get in the building tonight. That's how much
this matters. We'll have another hour of the show coming
up on news radio eleven ten kfab
I like my job, but there are things that I'd
like to be if I could have been instead of
a radio guy. This was not like I was five

Speaker 1 (09:48):
And they did have that parody where a lot of
teams mattered, and the seventies is just like a chalk
full of random teams being good in winning. And then
they were like, okay, well, the only way we're gonna
get popular is we need stars, right, And I don't know.
I'm just sitting here as like the NHL is kind
of that like the seventies version of the NBA, where
it's just kind of random in terms of what teams
(10:09):
are good and they don't have the biggest audience. But man,
it's just so much more entertaining to watch. But the
guys care more. But I feel like there could be
a bubble bursting right now. This whole situation is built
to spill, and we could be seeing leaders of the
NBA like ant man like Anthony Edwards who goes out
there and really he goes for the full forty eight minutes.
Oh did you hear Adam Silver say? He suggests forty
(10:32):
minutes now, might be that's the answer. Yeah, let's shorten
the game. So the guys carre. Now we need Skeletor
to not be running the NBA anymore. Actually get a
real man to do it.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I will do it. By the way I wear georts
and negative forty nine degree weather, I will run the
NBA and we will get this thing fixed.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
I thought we were going to make you the next
Senator of Kentucky. We got to figure that out, all right,
we'll wrap up the three o'clock hour Next News already
eleven to ten Kfab.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
And Marie Suman on News Radio eleven ten Kfab.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I loved watching Alan Iverson when I was ten years old,
but I wouldn't say he was the greatest role model
for a ten year old, you know, kid from the
Midwest talking about not wanting to practice. I'll practice, I'm
not going to practice.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I don't want to go to private.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
We're talking about practice that kind of thing, right, the
tattoos and all that stuff back in the day as
a little you know, edgy, right, not a lot of
you know, he wasn't the greatest role model figure, is
kind of what I'm saying. And Kevin Durant kind of
has taken that too. He's like, I'm not here to
be a role model. I'm here ball right, And as
(11:37):
much as you can say that, like PK said in
that rant that he had earlier today on ESPN, he's
like he had, He's making a really good point because
regardless of if you think you are or you're not,
you are because you're in the spotlight, you're getting paid
millions of dollars to be who you are. You have
to understand that there are going to be fans who
(11:59):
your job is to make fans care about you, like
you because they're on your team, or hate you because
you're on their rivals team. And none of these guys
seem to care at all about.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
That, and that is that's being reflected. I think that
Lebron James set that that tone.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
We're talking about continually, and for what it's worth, we're
talking about the NBA mostly right now, but that can
be correlated to baseball a little bit, but really the
NFL as well. There's a lot of guys that play
in the NFL that they they're they just there's a
bubble between them and the fans that they do not burst.
They do not like, they don't care about that. They
(12:36):
hold out because they want more money, and then they
go out there and they play however hard they want
to play, and whether their team wins or loses or
how much that's going on. How much do they actually
care about that? That's the question that I think a
lot of people have and I don't know, there's just
something about what Pek said there. I'm pumped up for
this Canada US game that's happening tonight. Yeah, that's gonna
(12:57):
be insane. I think it over under how many how
many fights? Well, I think we're starting with a fight.
We started with three fights in the first ten seconds
back there in Montreal on Saturday night. I would imagine
that Canada is going to come into the US and
Boston tonight and say, oh, we're we're throwing down. We're
gonna set the tone this time, because the US went
(13:18):
to Canada and beat them, and this is for the
championship of this little mini tournament that they're doing here,
and these guys obviously care about it.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
And you know what, hockey, and that's what we appreciates
about you. That's what I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
But if you could take ten to fifteen percent off
there squarely, Dan, I certainly appreciate it. That game, by
the way, seven o'clock, Star time, our time, ESPN and
on Disney Plus tickets. By the way, seven hundred dollars
just to get in the building tonight. That's how much
this matters. We'll have another hour of the show coming
up on news radio eleven ten kfab
