Speaker 3 (04:57):

Speaker 4 (05:04):
Steve de Seger is at the anchor desk. He'll keep
us updated throughout the program. And this is one of
those weird nights because there's no games going on tonight.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
There's no NBA, no NHL.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
I do need, Steve for you to give me an
update on Doug Gottlieb's game against Northern Kentucky. So you know,
you can't believe I even know who he's playing. Is
that game over or did it just start? It started
at seven? Right, Steve, tell me it's a lot to
a little already, it's.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
A lot too a little? Okay, have they broken their
losing streak or not? That's wild?
Speaker 5 (05:36):
I don't think so. No, he's got something going for him.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Okay, at least they're consistent, right to say it? All right? Uh?
Speaker 4 (05:44):
And of course Elijah. Elijah is our social media goober
and he does a great job on social media for us.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I don't know when they're gonna hear of Elijah. I
just don't know when it's going.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yes, So all right, uh, Kelvin, let's get the show
started talking about the NBA All Star Game and Rob
G's gonna set up. There was an interesting tweet and
it had Steph Curry and Lebron James in it, and
it was talking about the difference between the two players
when it comes to the NBA All Star Game.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
That's right, this tweet. We'll give him credit. TJ Ross
whoever he is, shout out to you forgiving it.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Oh yeah, I'll buy clothes from his place. Friend of
the shows, he gets. That's a combo for you, TJ.
Max and met in the middle.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
But he put out put out this tweet that got
some traction earlier today discussing All Star Weekend, and you
mentioned as a photo of Lebron and staff going head
to head, and what he's basically saying is the dunk
contest is dead. Well, the three point contest is thriving.
It's the only thing people care about with All Star
Weekend these days, and the reason being is that Lebron
(06:55):
James killed the dunk contest by not participating, while Steph
Curry made the three point contest the hottest things in
sliced bread because he's done it several times and he's
made it appointment television.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Rob Parker, your thoughts, Yeah, you know what, I get
that tweet.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
I do, okay because it is true and Steph with
the threes and being involved and whatnot, and Lebron never
doing it. All the great players had done it, you know,
at least one time, and so I do get where
that tweet's coming from. But I'm gonna disagree when you
talk about like impact on the game, because Kelvin, I'm
(07:37):
dead serious when I say this, I think Steph Curry
has done more harm to the NBA than anyone. And
I say it not that he did it on purpose
or set out to do it, do you know what
I mean? But I think intentionally it's unintentional. But I
(07:59):
could look at two things. We could talk about a
the All Star Game, and we could talk about NBA
basketball in general, and in both cases, Steph Curry is
the reason.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Why we aren't happy.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
We aren't happy that the NBA All Star Game is
two hundred to two hundred because nobody does anything but
take threes, right, all threes, two hundred to two hundred.
I saw a stat somewhere the other day, rob G.
You never saw that founder right? Last year, Kelvin, I
don't know if you showed it to me, only three
(08:39):
fouls were called the.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
All Star Game last year. I showed you that. Did
you show that to me?
Speaker 7 (08:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
I showed you that.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
It was like eighty something in seventy files and like
nineteen eighty.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Five, and it was I mean, why are officials even there?
You know, save money on officials. And then in the NBA,
we know this game into a three point fest, and
that's the reason we are watching the same way.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I don't care what anybody says.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Because Steph was able to make those threes, those logo threes,
all that got a lot of people excited. And then
all the analytics geeks thought, well, everybody should shoot threes.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Threes are better.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Than twos, and we make more threes and you're making twos,
we're gonna beat you. Right, everybody can't make threes. And
here's the worst effect by the Steph Curry being such
a tremendous three point shooter is that look how many
bad games there are now, Kelvin.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
With the blowouts.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
If you're off on the threes, it's a forty point blowout, right.
We saw this year the Warriors lose by forty points
in San Francisco every night. There are a handful of
games that are so lopsided. And all you gotta do
is go look at the stat box right box score,
and look at the threes made. And the threes missed,
(10:01):
and usually ninety nine percent of the time it's somebody
having a bad night from three. So that's why I
say Steph has done more harm to the NBA with
the three ball than Lebron has done by not participating.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
So here's the I've never wanted to give somebody a
compliment followed by a telling the the reason for the
demise of something. And that's exactly what you were trying
to say there, what you were saying and the reason
why a lot of people have to say this about Steph.
It is the ultimate compliment to him that people have
become copycats of him. But I will say I think
(10:39):
he was the cherry on top rob of something that
was already brewing. And I'm gonna go analytics, so I
think he was that final straw, his greatness, his ability
to do something we'd never seen, his innovative way of
shooting threes and shooting in from.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Places that you would be on the bench if you
shot before.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
But I think this was a slow tick up to
getting to him to finally be the straw that broke
the camel's back. Let me walk you to why go.
I think this if you look at dan Toni Mike D'Antoni.
He started to run this, Hey, get a shot out
before twenty seconds in the shot clock. Go go go
go with the with the Phoenix Suns in the two
thousand and four, five, six, seven, eight, nine ish era
(11:19):
of Steve Nash, Go go, go, go, go take a three,
take a shot, fast break, and he started the European
way of doing things faster, you get more possessions, you
start to have an ability to score more, more cracks
at this thing. At the end of the day, it's
a team that has more points in the scoreboard that wins.
And it worked for the Suns and that they won
a bunch of games. Steve Nash won a bunch of MVPs.
They didn't ultimately win the ring, but it was worked.
(11:41):
He was successful Coach of the Year and it was
it was a thing for a while, even work when
he was with the Rockets and James Harden, Go go
go shoot threes, go fast, pace, fast piece.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
So I think we started to see.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
This thing start to grow, grow, grow and get faster
and faster. As far as the idea of taking threes,
the idea of taking shots that normally you wouldn't want
to do so much so that it started to change
the way the San Antonio Spurs, they were the most
grinded out beach at eighty two to seventy eighteen. Then
they started moving the ball, they started shooting threes, They
started to use a more European, more faster.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Style of offense.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Then comes this babyface assassin who did it better.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
He did it slicker, he did it fresher, He did
it with style, big shots when it mattered. But he
was chewing on his the mouthpiece.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
He started shooting threes and looking back, walking back before
they went in. And by the way, his team started
winning and they started winning, and then he won MVPs
and then they won finals, you know, NBA finals.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
So I think it was a slow build.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I think we all everybody says Steph Curry, Steph Curry,
but I think we ignore the slow build that led
to him, because now you had the perfect marriage for this,
because you had the numbers the analytics. Analytics say a
three is better than two, analytics say why take a
two a mid range two when you count? And then
you had the actual personified version of it in Steph Curry,
and then he started to be successful and everyone else
(13:06):
became copycats, because what do we know in sports, their
copycat leagues. And the bad part where I would say
it's not his fault, but the thing started to become ruined,
is that Rob, it goes down to the younger level.
So a lot of the guys you're seeing doing these
things now is because they were in high school watching him.
And I coach my daughter's five and six year old
team a couple of years back, and these kids are
(13:28):
coming barely past half court ball big as then Rob,
chucking up half quarters, chucking up threes, not trying to
cross over like the and one area, work on the handles,
not trying to hit the mid range like Kobe or
Jordan Larry Bird.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
They're chucking up threes. A six years old barely can
even do it.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
How many games have you coached where the score the
game ended scoreless?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Any of course, now what you're.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Talking about because of me, he's kid coaching old boy.
I was about the boy. I was about the matrix
to this, but the zoom don't play with me. But
my point is Steph did it so good, so well
and won. That's the key part. If he was just
doing it looking like Jordan Poole that people are he's
just doing stuff. It doesn't amount to winning. He actually won.
Klay Thompson actually won with shooting the three, and now
(14:11):
any and everybody in their mama think they can do it.
And that's the that's the bad part because it trickles
down to the NBA, down to college and down in
high school, down to the young folks, and that's where
it's hurting the game. So it's a compliment to him
that he was so great at something that it made
everyone else think they could when they really shouldn't.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. Do you agree
that no player in NBA history has done more damage
to the league than Steph Curry.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Alright, eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
I think step has done more damage to the NBA
than anyone, and that is with the three ball and
not on purpose, It just happened, and the analytics and
people taking threes and now we have a lot of
horrible games and a horrible All Star Game because all
the shots are three.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, it's been lazy that league and people, the bad
analytics leading up to this amazing shooter named Steph Curry did.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
It for me? All right?
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Greg and Phoenix, you're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
What's up? Greg?
Speaker 8 (17:09):
You're the man. You're all over it like a cheap suit.
Steph Curry and the three point game is ruined basketball.
And it took two positions out of play, the power
forward and the center spot, and basketball as we used
to know it is golf.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
See Greg, you right, Greg, you're wining me? Locked up?
Am I right?
Speaker 9 (17:34):
Sir?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
No doubt?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
All right here, as Greg. It ain't just FIH four
and may power forward stretch three. They're still there. They
just believe I have to shoot threes. That's the weird thing.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
They're there.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Sean in Washington, you're on the EYD couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (17:49):

Speaker 10 (17:51):
Rob Parker, I talked to you for like fifteen years
from the D man. I used to call you all
the time.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
I do it. What's up? How are you?
Speaker 10 (17:58):
You can't be talking about Steph curR. You're ruining the
league with three You ever heard of thunder Damn Merley
checking them up for half court? Come on, man, this
has been going on for a long time. I'm gonna
tell you who's ruin in the league. Love Flop James
all right, I'm sick of the flopping. He's massive the
art he had a meeting a press conference was like, yo,
I gotta get better a flopping and guess what, he's
(18:19):
the king of it. Ruin in the league, not the freeze, baby,
the flopping. I'm sick, all right, that's all I got.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
It, all right, Sean, appreciate that. Thanks for the flop
for some.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Rap though, you will give me some raps with a
tech flop more.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Than Nino in Ohio. You're on the odd couple of
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
What's up, Nino?
Speaker 11 (18:39):
He did make it into a carnival game. You know, hey,
five months you win it all. It's that way, you know,
it's too much. I haven't watched the NBA diehard Laker
fans gave up on it five six years ago. Have
didn't even watch the Lakers win their championship. Don't watch it. Wow,
(19:00):
you're correct, you guys are right correct. I heard Laker.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
No, no, no, I'm telling you here.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Yeah, it's bad and you see all the bad games
right with the miss threes.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
The All Star Game is horrible.
Speaker 11 (19:14):
Yeah, it's a carnival game.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Thank you, buddy.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Appreciate Yeah, I was looking up some numbers, Rob. It
went from thirty threes in like twenty thirteen ish to
forty nine threes a game now almost double the threes.
Just me, you know, in the last you know, ten
years or so, because of just the way.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
I don't want to see it. Not because of stuff,
but it seems like it's because of Steph. I made
a mistake.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
I forgot to ask him about the Pinto in the
Santa Maria.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
You you was on to the next call, you were on,
you were on your way, Andre in Massachusetts, You're on
the odd couple of Box sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
What's up? Andre?
Speaker 8 (19:57):
Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 9 (19:57):
What's Steph Curry hasn't brought about demise of the NBA.
He's flat out transformed the league. And the reason the
issue at hand is everybody wants to mastery, but nobody
wants to put in the work right. Nobody wants to
go back to when he was supposed to go to
Virginia Tech and they told him to get lost, or
the three years he spent in Davidson, or the times
in his early career when he was building himself up
(20:18):
flat out, Nobody wants to put those ten thousand hours in.
Shout out to Malcolm Gladwell that it takes to be
really really.
Speaker 7 (20:25):
Good at something.
Speaker 9 (20:26):
So everybody with this high if anything, it's more the
highlight culture than Steph Curry himself.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Yeah, but what about the All Star Game? Come on now,
come on, Andrey, I'm not going to let you off
that easily. All they do is shoot threes. The score
was two hundred to two hundred three fouls. That's not basketball.
That's a reflection of the Steph Curry three point ball.
You gotta admit that may.
Speaker 9 (20:50):
Roberts reflection the Prima Donna attitude and people not knowing
their history and what it took for the NBA to
get to the point where it is. And these guys
can't even play lifetime fitness Mattador defense and again that
they need to attract the younger audience. So that has
to do with the entitlement for me, you know, guys
just feeling you know, you can't say anything bad about him,
or they're never gonna speak to you, or the sensitivity
of these star players is more of the issue why
(21:12):
the All Star Game is a disaster rather than in
terms of the three point shot. I just think time
you have to know you don't become Tiger Woo's overnight
is my feeling, and people want to have to start
them without putting in the long ruling hours to get
to that point.
Speaker 10 (21:24):
In terms of the All Star Games, earn.
Speaker 9 (21:26):
Your paycheck and show up to work and give the
people a show. Thanks taking the call.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Thank you. They were trying to Andre, but Kaitlyn Clark
didn't join them, so you know, I blame her. I'm
just saying, So we gotta blame Caitlyn Andre. Oh no,
that's right. I don't care what. No, you know he
was wrong. Look, drink you don't just take you a
little drake right there?
Speaker 4 (21:42):
No, all right, we got more coming up on just
people have got notice. I'm not drinking the big gulp
every year.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Yeah, the proud of you. Eddie House on the way,
looking forward to what he has to say. We can
ask Eddie House. Here's he had this great three point
shot as well. We'll talk rong about that, Steven Sacred
I was trending.

Speaker 7 (22:28):
Nice to hear your boys too, brother.
Speaker 8 (22:30):
Man.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
You know we had a long off season, but were
back at it man, like we never lived.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Absolutely, you know that long time contributor to the Odd Couple.
We always appreciate your insight. And let's start here, Eddie.
I just said we were talking about damage to the
game or the NBA any off of the All Star Game,
and we're basically saying that. You know, Steph participates in
(22:57):
the three point contest. Lebron never participated in a dunk contest.
But I still say that I thought Steph Curry did
more damage to the NBA, not on purpose, but because
of the threes. He was hitting threes from all over.
Everybody started to shoot threes. Now we have an All
Star Game where everybody just shoots threes and the league
(23:19):
has a lot of bad games because of the three
Where are you on what's happened to the NBA?
Speaker 3 (23:24):
And how much is Steph to blame?
Speaker 7 (23:28):
Stephan is not to blame. Stephan is just great at
what he did. Because you could shoot threes, but then
you don't make threes, right, And so I look at
it as not only Steph, Like we got to give
credit to Klay Thompson as well, who was knocking down
threes when he was in his prime before he had
(23:48):
to deal with his injuries. So you had two guys
on one team that was able to knock down threes
at a high clip that everybody was looking at and
was to figure out, like, how do we try to
emulate that?
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Right?
Speaker 7 (24:05):
And everybody's trying to emulate that, and it's not going
to be emulated. It's just one thing that happened. You
know what I mean is Michael Jordan happened. We're not
going to get that again. You know what I mean,
Tom Brady happened. We're not going to get that again.
People are looking for those guys, And to me, I
(24:26):
don't think that it's anything that Steph did to the game.
I just think it's uh and and forgive me because
I don't. I don't want to put you in that category.
But the analytical nerds.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Yeah, I'm thuys.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
Okay, So that's why I'm saying I don't want to
put you in that no, no.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
No, I'm not with that. I'm just saying there's so
many bad games.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
I've been I've been covering the league since nineteen eighty seven,
and I used to fly on the planes with the players,
the commercial planes, you know what I mean, Eddie and
all that, or NBA back in the day.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
And it's just so many bad games.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
And when you see the Warriors lost this year by
forty points at home, you see some of these scores
and all you're gonna do is look at the box
score and somebody shot three for forty from three point
land or whatever it is. And that's the games that
we see a lot of terrible games.
Speaker 7 (25:21):
And that's why I'm saying that analytical nerves that where
they're saying like, hey, three is better than two.
Speaker 8 (25:28):
Not.
Speaker 7 (25:28):
In my book, a basket is better than a non basket, right,
And from what I was taught is that you know,
a three point shot is further out. And even though
I'm a three point shooter and I can shoot three,
but I shot mid range as well. It's the bottom
line is that you want to get the ball in
(25:49):
the bucket, and I don't care how it is, you
know what I mean, get the ball in the bucket,
whether it be a dunk, whether it be a mid range,
whether it be a three, you want to get a
good shot. But at I just think that the game
has changed to that because of what Steph Curry and
Clay has been and people try to copycat that, and
(26:11):
that's what it is right now. But it's getting back
to let me say this, it's getting back to a
double big league. If you look around the league, the
teams that are up at the top of the league,
it's double bigs, you know what I mean. So just
pay attention to that is going is reverting back to
(26:32):
what a basketball has always been.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Eddie House, our guest, Eddie Man, you kind of echo
the same things I was saying when we were talking
about this. That to me started with Mike D'Antoni and
his teams, which were fast paced, go more and more
possession shooting when you got it if it's open shooting,
which led to James Harden and the Rockets, which then
eventually led to the Splash.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Brothers and now here we are.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I want to ask you this, though you know you
were competitive when you played, you know that era. What
has changed? Talking about the All Star Game? Why can't
they get that right? It seems easy pretend it's a
U c L. A summer game.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
You know how they.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Didn't play harder in a game like that that this
is what we're watching at the All Star Game and
this nonsense about oh nobody wants to.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Get heard or all of change since when.
Speaker 7 (27:19):
I don't know, And I played for Mike D'Antoni, and
you know what, it was a lot of fun playing
for him when I played for him with Phoenix and
you know the sixth se whether the seven seconds or
last with the stigma that they put on eight seconds
or left, I think that's what it was called. But
it was a lot of fun playing that way. But
(27:40):
you don't play defense, and then when you get into
the playoffs, that's why it was no success in the postseason.
And I've also played for Pat Riley where we had
success in the postseason. I played for Doc Rivers where
we had success in the postseason, and you got to
play defense. But to what you're talking about as the
(28:03):
All Star Game, I look at the All Star Game,
is it's not I mean, I don't know. I was
thinking like, man, do you incentifize it right? Do you
make it where they get it, but they're making so
much money.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Enough money, That's what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 7 (28:25):
So like it comes down to the actual players, you
know what I mean. It comes down to the players,
and they have to be able. Like back in the day,
the East didn't like the West. That's what it was.
And maybe it's because of AAU basketball because everybody knows
each other so when they finally get to where they're at,
(28:47):
because all these guys that are playing right now have
played AAU basketball and they've seen each other for their
whole life, since they were fifteen years old, and maybe
that is the reason why it's a difference of how
it was. But I would like to see it some
way to be a little bit, to be competitive. And
(29:09):
I think that's what the league has to do. As
far as All Star game. They have to make it
or you know, don't have it at all. Just name
guys all Stars and give guys a break in the middle.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
It looks like that's where we're headed. I mean, these
games are so bad to watch. One thing, last Addie,
we got one minute just the Luca Lebron. Of course
Game one they won, they blew out Utah. Everybody was Okay,
they're gonna win the championship. Then they played Utah and
Utah and they lost pretty easily. Obviously they're two great players.
(29:45):
What do you see? Do you see them going to
the Western Conference Finals?
Speaker 7 (29:49):
Hell no, I don't, thank you, No, I don't think
they get there because they can't defend. They don't have
a rim protector. They took their best defender on the
back end with liabilities everywhere on the perimeter. Like Lebron
can guard when he wants to guard, but Austin Reeves
can't guard. Sulton connects not a great defender. When you
(30:10):
start looking at the guys that they have out there,
I don't see them being able to defend in a
seven game series to be able to make enough noise
to get to the Western Conference Finals. Can they put
asses in the seats? Yes, that's what they're going to
be able to do, and they always been able to
do that. But I think this puts, you know, almost
(30:32):
like passing the torch without Lebron passing the torch.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
All right, he is Eddie house Man, Thank you so much.
We'll see Eddie. I think they might be able to
luke or get right you know.
Speaker 7 (30:44):
Oh no, you crazy.
Speaker 3 (30:47):

year for Doug Man.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Gotta be tough, all right, well, rob just real quick.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
Doug Gottlieb had a great feature written about him in
the Athletic Team.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Did he really see what did they say? Do you know?
Speaker 6 (33:16):
It's just he's doing two jobs and it's commendable. He's
a pioneer in the sport. So did they say it
was a bad basketball car? Not as far as I
got robbed.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
No, I'm just saying like, like nobody definitely just saying
nobody questioned it seriously, like like you can do two
jobs if you're having success.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 4 (33:38):
Like, seriously, if you're if you're the AD, you got
to look at this and.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
Go like, what are we doing?
Speaker 12 (33:44):
It's like some head coaches have also been the athletic
director or some head coaches and the pros trying to
be the GM.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
And you can't do it. Yep, And that's a big happens.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
And we talk about what if you're winning, you're all
of a sudden the trend center.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Everybody. I can do that too.
Speaker 12 (33:57):
The difference is what we're talking about is two full
time jobs. He's not on for eight hours on the
air here, even though it's five.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
Days a week, right, Yep, they're two full time jobs,
and it's a lot, but you would have thought by
now he maybe would have got one. Yeah, and there's
always a chance he could turn around, turn it around
and actually win a conference game or something.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
And we're roody for the dugger, Rob.
Speaker 6 (34:19):
I don't know about you, but me, Steve Desager, dub Alex,
hopefully Rob Parker, We're all roody for the dugger to
turn it around there in Green Bay.
Speaker 12 (34:26):
Rob Parker is not a fan of anybody else on
the network.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Do you not listen to the show? I never missed
the cover. Rob, Gee, that's a good one on your
way out to Hawaii.
Speaker 13 (34:37):
See, I can't you say that I'm not a fan.
I love Ben Meller. Okay, yeah, you love Ben Mello.
There Jonas Locks. So the two that are on while
you're sleeping are the shows that you love the post.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
I never looked at it like that. I never missed
two Pros and a cup of Joe. No, no, no,
no no to Steve, you got me wrong. Yeah, I've
heard the show. I think I'm a big bet man.
You've never heard me disparaged Ben Mall that has happened.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Hey, Steve, Hey, Steven Robbgi and Alex, you know what
just happened right here?
Speaker 3 (35:15):
What's that? I just got Michael Parsons.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
They asked, give you your top ten quarterbacks, and he
didn't mention Kelvin.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
That goes stew on the show. I don't. Hey, Dak
Prescott was on Michael Parson's.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Team and he didn't say he was in quarter the
top ten quarterback.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
You know, would have got saved the tape.
Speaker 6 (35:37):
Alex naming all the weekend shows and then just sitting
there like any minute now, any minute.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
All he wanted to say the best for last Robber.
That's what it was. I didn't look at that when
Steve was talking. I was talking. I was thinking, we're
a team, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (35:52):
We have a show, right, So that's why Steve don't
make sense.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Okay, don't help him make sense it does. Think of
it about it that way I thought about it now.
In hockey, they call that a save. Say there we go.
You know what we're gonna do?
Speaker 6 (36:06):
Save and a beauty beauty Yes, since we all agree
Rob's not gonna make it the six years census. Whenever
Rob does get his walking papers, they're gonna give us

Speaker 4 (05:04):
Steve de Seger is at the anchor desk. He'll keep
us updated throughout the program. And this is one of
those weird nights because there's no games going on tonight.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
There's no NBA, no NHL.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
I do need, Steve for you to give me an
update on Doug Gottlieb's game against Northern Kentucky. So you know,
you can't believe I even know who he's playing. Is
that game over or did it just start? It started
at seven? Right, Steve, tell me it's a lot to
a little already, it's.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
A lot too a little? Okay, have they broken their
losing streak or not? That's wild?
Speaker 5 (05:36):
I don't think so. No, he's got something going for him.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Okay, at least they're consistent, right to say it? All right? Uh?
Speaker 4 (05:44):
And of course Elijah. Elijah is our social media goober
and he does a great job on social media for us.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I don't know when they're gonna hear of Elijah. I
just don't know when it's going.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yes, So all right, uh, Kelvin, let's get the show
started talking about the NBA All Star Game and Rob
G's gonna set up. There was an interesting tweet and
it had Steph Curry and Lebron James in it, and
it was talking about the difference between the two players
when it comes to the NBA All Star Game.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
That's right, this tweet. We'll give him credit. TJ Ross
whoever he is, shout out to you forgiving it.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Oh yeah, I'll buy clothes from his place. Friend of
the shows, he gets. That's a combo for you, TJ.
Max and met in the middle.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
But he put out put out this tweet that got
some traction earlier today discussing All Star Weekend, and you
mentioned as a photo of Lebron and staff going head
to head, and what he's basically saying is the dunk
contest is dead. Well, the three point contest is thriving.
It's the only thing people care about with All Star
Weekend these days, and the reason being is that Lebron
(06:55):
James killed the dunk contest by not participating, while Steph
Curry made the three point contest the hottest things in
sliced bread because he's done it several times and he's
made it appointment television.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Rob Parker, your thoughts, Yeah, you know what, I get
that tweet.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
I do, okay because it is true and Steph with
the threes and being involved and whatnot, and Lebron never
doing it. All the great players had done it, you know,
at least one time, and so I do get where
that tweet's coming from. But I'm gonna disagree when you
talk about like impact on the game, because Kelvin, I'm
(07:37):
dead serious when I say this, I think Steph Curry
has done more harm to the NBA than anyone. And
I say it not that he did it on purpose
or set out to do it, do you know what
I mean? But I think intentionally it's unintentional. But I
(07:59):
could look at two things. We could talk about a
the All Star Game, and we could talk about NBA
basketball in general, and in both cases, Steph Curry is
the reason.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Why we aren't happy.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
We aren't happy that the NBA All Star Game is
two hundred to two hundred because nobody does anything but
take threes, right, all threes, two hundred to two hundred.
I saw a stat somewhere the other day, rob G.
You never saw that founder right? Last year, Kelvin, I
don't know if you showed it to me, only three
(08:39):
fouls were called the.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
All Star Game last year. I showed you that. Did
you show that to me?
Speaker 7 (08:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
I showed you that.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
It was like eighty something in seventy files and like
nineteen eighty.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Five, and it was I mean, why are officials even there?
You know, save money on officials. And then in the NBA,
we know this game into a three point fest, and
that's the reason we are watching the same way.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I don't care what anybody says.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Because Steph was able to make those threes, those logo threes,
all that got a lot of people excited. And then
all the analytics geeks thought, well, everybody should shoot threes.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Threes are better.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Than twos, and we make more threes and you're making twos,
we're gonna beat you. Right, everybody can't make threes. And
here's the worst effect by the Steph Curry being such
a tremendous three point shooter is that look how many
bad games there are now, Kelvin.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
With the blowouts.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
If you're off on the threes, it's a forty point blowout, right.
We saw this year the Warriors lose by forty points
in San Francisco every night. There are a handful of
games that are so lopsided. And all you gotta do
is go look at the stat box right box score,
and look at the threes made. And the threes missed,
(10:01):
and usually ninety nine percent of the time it's somebody
having a bad night from three. So that's why I
say Steph has done more harm to the NBA with
the three ball than Lebron has done by not participating.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
So here's the I've never wanted to give somebody a
compliment followed by a telling the the reason for the
demise of something. And that's exactly what you were trying
to say there, what you were saying and the reason
why a lot of people have to say this about Steph.
It is the ultimate compliment to him that people have
become copycats of him. But I will say I think
(10:39):
he was the cherry on top rob of something that
was already brewing. And I'm gonna go analytics, so I
think he was that final straw, his greatness, his ability
to do something we'd never seen, his innovative way of
shooting threes and shooting in from.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Places that you would be on the bench if you
shot before.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
But I think this was a slow tick up to
getting to him to finally be the straw that broke
the camel's back. Let me walk you to why go.
I think this if you look at dan Toni Mike D'Antoni.
He started to run this, Hey, get a shot out
before twenty seconds in the shot clock. Go go go
go with the with the Phoenix Suns in the two
thousand and four, five, six, seven, eight, nine ish era
(11:19):
of Steve Nash, Go go, go, go, go take a three,
take a shot, fast break, and he started the European
way of doing things faster, you get more possessions, you
start to have an ability to score more, more cracks
at this thing. At the end of the day, it's
a team that has more points in the scoreboard that wins.
And it worked for the Suns and that they won
a bunch of games. Steve Nash won a bunch of MVPs.
They didn't ultimately win the ring, but it was worked.
(11:41):
He was successful Coach of the Year and it was
it was a thing for a while, even work when
he was with the Rockets and James Harden, Go go
go shoot threes, go fast, pace, fast piece.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
So I think we started to see.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
This thing start to grow, grow, grow and get faster
and faster. As far as the idea of taking threes,
the idea of taking shots that normally you wouldn't want
to do so much so that it started to change
the way the San Antonio Spurs, they were the most
grinded out beach at eighty two to seventy eighteen. Then
they started moving the ball, they started shooting threes, They
started to use a more European, more faster.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Style of offense.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Then comes this babyface assassin who did it better.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
He did it slicker, he did it fresher, He did
it with style, big shots when it mattered. But he
was chewing on his the mouthpiece.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
He started shooting threes and looking back, walking back before
they went in. And by the way, his team started
winning and they started winning, and then he won MVPs
and then they won finals, you know, NBA finals.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
So I think it was a slow build.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I think we all everybody says Steph Curry, Steph Curry,
but I think we ignore the slow build that led
to him, because now you had the perfect marriage for this,
because you had the numbers the analytics. Analytics say a
three is better than two, analytics say why take a
two a mid range two when you count? And then
you had the actual personified version of it in Steph Curry,
and then he started to be successful and everyone else
(13:06):
became copycats, because what do we know in sports, their
copycat leagues. And the bad part where I would say
it's not his fault, but the thing started to become ruined,
is that Rob, it goes down to the younger level.
So a lot of the guys you're seeing doing these
things now is because they were in high school watching him.
And I coach my daughter's five and six year old
team a couple of years back, and these kids are
(13:28):
coming barely past half court ball big as then Rob,
chucking up half quarters, chucking up threes, not trying to
cross over like the and one area, work on the handles,
not trying to hit the mid range like Kobe or
Jordan Larry Bird.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
They're chucking up threes. A six years old barely can
even do it.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
How many games have you coached where the score the
game ended scoreless?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Any of course, now what you're.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Talking about because of me, he's kid coaching old boy.
I was about the boy. I was about the matrix
to this, but the zoom don't play with me. But
my point is Steph did it so good, so well
and won. That's the key part. If he was just
doing it looking like Jordan Poole that people are he's
just doing stuff. It doesn't amount to winning. He actually won.
Klay Thompson actually won with shooting the three, and now
(14:11):
any and everybody in their mama think they can do it.
And that's the that's the bad part because it trickles
down to the NBA, down to college and down in
high school, down to the young folks, and that's where
it's hurting the game. So it's a compliment to him
that he was so great at something that it made
everyone else think they could when they really shouldn't.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. Do you agree
that no player in NBA history has done more damage
to the league than Steph Curry.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Alright, eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
I think step has done more damage to the NBA
than anyone, and that is with the three ball and
not on purpose, It just happened, and the analytics and
people taking threes and now we have a lot of
horrible games and a horrible All Star Game because all
the shots are three.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, it's been lazy that league and people, the bad
analytics leading up to this amazing shooter named Steph Curry did.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
It for me? All right?
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Greg and Phoenix, you're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
What's up? Greg?
Speaker 8 (17:09):
You're the man. You're all over it like a cheap suit.
Steph Curry and the three point game is ruined basketball.
And it took two positions out of play, the power
forward and the center spot, and basketball as we used
to know it is golf.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
See Greg, you right, Greg, you're wining me? Locked up?
Am I right?
Speaker 9 (17:34):
Sir?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
No doubt?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
All right here, as Greg. It ain't just FIH four
and may power forward stretch three. They're still there. They
just believe I have to shoot threes. That's the weird thing.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
They're there.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Sean in Washington, you're on the EYD couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
What's up, Sean?
Speaker 8 (17:51):
Jo?
Speaker 10 (17:51):
Rob Parker, I talked to you for like fifteen years
from the D man. I used to call you all
the time.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
I do it. What's up? How are you?
Speaker 10 (17:58):
You can't be talking about Steph curR. You're ruining the
league with three You ever heard of thunder Damn Merley
checking them up for half court? Come on, man, this
has been going on for a long time. I'm gonna
tell you who's ruin in the league. Love Flop James
all right, I'm sick of the flopping. He's massive the
art he had a meeting a press conference was like, yo,
I gotta get better a flopping and guess what, he's
(18:19):
the king of it. Ruin in the league, not the freeze, baby,
the flopping. I'm sick, all right, that's all I got.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
It, all right, Sean, appreciate that. Thanks for the flop
for some.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Rap though, you will give me some raps with a
tech flop more.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Than Nino in Ohio. You're on the odd couple of
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
What's up, Nino?
Speaker 11 (18:39):
He did make it into a carnival game. You know, hey,
five months you win it all. It's that way, you know,
it's too much. I haven't watched the NBA diehard Laker
fans gave up on it five six years ago. Have
didn't even watch the Lakers win their championship. Don't watch it. Wow,
(19:00):
you're correct, you guys are right correct. I heard Laker.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
No, no, no, I'm telling you here.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Yeah, it's bad and you see all the bad games
right with the miss threes.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
The All Star Game is horrible.
Speaker 11 (19:14):
Yeah, it's a carnival game.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Thank you, buddy.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Appreciate Yeah, I was looking up some numbers, Rob. It
went from thirty threes in like twenty thirteen ish to
forty nine threes a game now almost double the threes.
Just me, you know, in the last you know, ten
years or so, because of just the way.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
I don't want to see it. Not because of stuff,
but it seems like it's because of Steph. I made
a mistake.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
I forgot to ask him about the Pinto in the
Santa Maria.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
You you was on to the next call, you were on,
you were on your way, Andre in Massachusetts, You're on
the odd couple of Box sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
What's up? Andre?
Speaker 8 (19:57):
Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 9 (19:57):
What's Steph Curry hasn't brought about demise of the NBA.
He's flat out transformed the league. And the reason the
issue at hand is everybody wants to mastery, but nobody
wants to put in the work right. Nobody wants to
go back to when he was supposed to go to
Virginia Tech and they told him to get lost, or
the three years he spent in Davidson, or the times
in his early career when he was building himself up
(20:18):
flat out, Nobody wants to put those ten thousand hours in.
Shout out to Malcolm Gladwell that it takes to be
really really.
Speaker 7 (20:25):
Good at something.
Speaker 9 (20:26):
So everybody with this high if anything, it's more the
highlight culture than Steph Curry himself.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Yeah, but what about the All Star Game? Come on now,
come on, Andrey, I'm not going to let you off
that easily. All they do is shoot threes. The score
was two hundred to two hundred three fouls. That's not basketball.
That's a reflection of the Steph Curry three point ball.
You gotta admit that may.
Speaker 9 (20:50):
Roberts reflection the Prima Donna attitude and people not knowing
their history and what it took for the NBA to
get to the point where it is. And these guys
can't even play lifetime fitness Mattador defense and again that
they need to attract the younger audience. So that has
to do with the entitlement for me, you know, guys
just feeling you know, you can't say anything bad about him,
or they're never gonna speak to you, or the sensitivity
of these star players is more of the issue why
(21:12):
the All Star Game is a disaster rather than in
terms of the three point shot. I just think time
you have to know you don't become Tiger Woo's overnight
is my feeling, and people want to have to start
them without putting in the long ruling hours to get
to that point.
Speaker 10 (21:24):
In terms of the All Star Games, earn.
Speaker 9 (21:26):
Your paycheck and show up to work and give the
people a show. Thanks taking the call.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Thank you. They were trying to Andre, but Kaitlyn Clark
didn't join them, so you know, I blame her. I'm
just saying, So we gotta blame Caitlyn Andre. Oh no,
that's right. I don't care what. No, you know he
was wrong. Look, drink you don't just take you a
little drake right there?
Speaker 4 (21:42):
No, all right, we got more coming up on just
people have got notice. I'm not drinking the big gulp
every year.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Yeah, the proud of you. Eddie House on the way,
looking forward to what he has to say. We can
ask Eddie House. Here's he had this great three point
shot as well. We'll talk rong about that, Steven Sacred
I was trending.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Be sure to catch liven editions of The Odd Couple
with Rob Parker and kelvin Washington weekdays at seven pm
Eastern four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
We're joined now by Eddie House, NBA Champion, NBC Sports
Boston and Fox Sports.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Radio and Emmy Award winner. We see him on television
all the time, Eddie doing his thing. Yeah, man, Eddie,
shout out to you.
Speaker 7 (22:21):
How you doing, man, I'm doing really good. How y'all doing, man,
We're doing great.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
It's great to hear your voice, buddy.
Speaker 7 (22:28):
Nice to hear your boys too, brother.
Speaker 8 (22:30):
Man.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
You know we had a long off season, but were
back at it man, like we never lived.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Absolutely, you know that long time contributor to the Odd Couple.
We always appreciate your insight. And let's start here, Eddie.
I just said we were talking about damage to the
game or the NBA any off of the All Star Game,
and we're basically saying that. You know, Steph participates in
(22:57):
the three point contest. Lebron never participated in a dunk contest.
But I still say that I thought Steph Curry did
more damage to the NBA, not on purpose, but because
of the threes. He was hitting threes from all over.
Everybody started to shoot threes. Now we have an All
Star Game where everybody just shoots threes and the league
(23:19):
has a lot of bad games because of the three
Where are you on what's happened to the NBA?
Speaker 3 (23:24):
And how much is Steph to blame?
Speaker 7 (23:28):
Stephan is not to blame. Stephan is just great at
what he did. Because you could shoot threes, but then
you don't make threes, right, And so I look at
it as not only Steph, Like we got to give
credit to Klay Thompson as well, who was knocking down
threes when he was in his prime before he had
(23:48):
to deal with his injuries. So you had two guys
on one team that was able to knock down threes
at a high clip that everybody was looking at and
was to figure out, like, how do we try to
emulate that?
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Right?
Speaker 7 (24:05):
And everybody's trying to emulate that, and it's not going
to be emulated. It's just one thing that happened. You
know what I mean is Michael Jordan happened. We're not
going to get that again. You know what I mean,
Tom Brady happened. We're not going to get that again.
People are looking for those guys, And to me, I
(24:26):
don't think that it's anything that Steph did to the game.
I just think it's uh and and forgive me because
I don't. I don't want to put you in that category.
But the analytical nerds.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Yeah, I'm thuys.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
Okay, So that's why I'm saying I don't want to
put you in that no, no.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
No, I'm not with that. I'm just saying there's so
many bad games.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
I've been I've been covering the league since nineteen eighty seven,
and I used to fly on the planes with the players,
the commercial planes, you know what I mean, Eddie and
all that, or NBA back in the day.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
And it's just so many bad games.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
And when you see the Warriors lost this year by
forty points at home, you see some of these scores
and all you're gonna do is look at the box
score and somebody shot three for forty from three point
land or whatever it is. And that's the games that
we see a lot of terrible games.
Speaker 7 (25:21):
And that's why I'm saying that analytical nerves that where
they're saying like, hey, three is better than two.
Speaker 8 (25:28):
Not.
Speaker 7 (25:28):
In my book, a basket is better than a non basket, right,
And from what I was taught is that you know,
a three point shot is further out. And even though
I'm a three point shooter and I can shoot three,
but I shot mid range as well. It's the bottom
line is that you want to get the ball in
(25:49):
the bucket, and I don't care how it is, you
know what I mean, get the ball in the bucket,
whether it be a dunk, whether it be a mid range,
whether it be a three, you want to get a
good shot. But at I just think that the game
has changed to that because of what Steph Curry and
Clay has been and people try to copycat that, and
(26:11):
that's what it is right now. But it's getting back
to let me say this, it's getting back to a
double big league. If you look around the league, the
teams that are up at the top of the league,
it's double bigs, you know what I mean. So just
pay attention to that is going is reverting back to
(26:32):
what a basketball has always been.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Eddie House, our guest, Eddie Man, you kind of echo
the same things I was saying when we were talking
about this. That to me started with Mike D'Antoni and
his teams, which were fast paced, go more and more
possession shooting when you got it if it's open shooting,
which led to James Harden and the Rockets, which then
eventually led to the Splash.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Brothers and now here we are.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I want to ask you this, though you know you
were competitive when you played, you know that era. What
has changed? Talking about the All Star Game? Why can't
they get that right? It seems easy pretend it's a
U c L. A summer game.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
You know how they.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Didn't play harder in a game like that that this
is what we're watching at the All Star Game and
this nonsense about oh nobody wants to.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Get heard or all of change since when.
Speaker 7 (27:19):
I don't know, And I played for Mike D'Antoni, and
you know what, it was a lot of fun playing
for him when I played for him with Phoenix and
you know the sixth se whether the seven seconds or
last with the stigma that they put on eight seconds
or left, I think that's what it was called. But
it was a lot of fun playing that way. But
(27:40):
you don't play defense, and then when you get into
the playoffs, that's why it was no success in the postseason.
And I've also played for Pat Riley where we had
success in the postseason. I played for Doc Rivers where
we had success in the postseason, and you got to
play defense. But to what you're talking about as the
(28:03):
All Star Game, I look at the All Star Game,
is it's not I mean, I don't know. I was
thinking like, man, do you incentifize it right? Do you
make it where they get it, but they're making so
much money.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Enough money, That's what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 7 (28:25):
So like it comes down to the actual players, you
know what I mean. It comes down to the players,
and they have to be able. Like back in the day,
the East didn't like the West. That's what it was.
And maybe it's because of AAU basketball because everybody knows
each other so when they finally get to where they're at,
(28:47):
because all these guys that are playing right now have
played AAU basketball and they've seen each other for their
whole life, since they were fifteen years old, and maybe
that is the reason why it's a difference of how
it was. But I would like to see it some
way to be a little bit, to be competitive. And
(29:09):
I think that's what the league has to do. As
far as All Star game. They have to make it
or you know, don't have it at all. Just name
guys all Stars and give guys a break in the middle.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
It looks like that's where we're headed. I mean, these
games are so bad to watch. One thing, last Addie,
we got one minute just the Luca Lebron. Of course
Game one they won, they blew out Utah. Everybody was Okay,
they're gonna win the championship. Then they played Utah and
Utah and they lost pretty easily. Obviously they're two great players.
(29:45):
What do you see? Do you see them going to
the Western Conference Finals?
Speaker 7 (29:49):
Hell no, I don't, thank you, No, I don't think
they get there because they can't defend. They don't have
a rim protector. They took their best defender on the
back end with liabilities everywhere on the perimeter. Like Lebron
can guard when he wants to guard, but Austin Reeves
can't guard. Sulton connects not a great defender. When you
(30:10):
start looking at the guys that they have out there,
I don't see them being able to defend in a
seven game series to be able to make enough noise
to get to the Western Conference Finals. Can they put
asses in the seats? Yes, that's what they're going to
be able to do, and they always been able to
do that. But I think this puts, you know, almost
(30:32):

Did he really see what did they say? Do you know?
Speaker 6 (33:16):
It's just he's doing two jobs and it's commendable. He's
a pioneer in the sport. So did they say it
was a bad basketball car? Not as far as I
got robbed.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
No, I'm just saying like, like nobody definitely just saying
nobody questioned it seriously, like like you can do two
jobs if you're having success.

to look at this and.

always a chance he could turn around, turn it around
and actually win a conference game or something.
