It's the Best of the Odd Couple with Chris Broussard and Rob Parker! Chris and Rob debate whether or not guys like Charlotte Hornets All-Star guard Kemba Walker - and guys like him - should be willing to take less money in order to help their teams, and if Colorado Rockies star Nolan Arenado getting knocked out of a game is proof that it's time to do away with the 'Unwritten Rules' of baseball. Plus, Chris rattles off the 6 greatest comebacks in sports history in the latest edition of Broussard's Big Six.

(00:21):
s R. You're listening to the Best of the Odd
Couple with Chris Bruce and Rod Harker. We got different shows.
It takes different shows. It takes different shows to rule
the world. I really did like that show. That was
(00:42):
a good show. And you know what that Saturday night lineup.
But still remember Different Strokes, Facts of Life, Love Boat
and Fantasy Islands, right, Yeah, but not on the same channel. Yeah, no,
I'm pretty different. Different Stroke was on NBC. Other Different Strokes.
The other ones were on a check that out. I'm
telling you check that Different Strokes the NBC show. It
(01:04):
might have been NBC, but maybe there are the other ones.
You were talking about Fantasy Island for sure, Facts of
Life and Different Strokes told NBC and we had two
d Kim Fields. Yes, I enjoyed that. That really was
a great interview. Yeah, NBC and you know what I
was gonna say, Arnold. When I was in college, to
play the reruns of all that, we used to sit there,
(01:26):
no lie and just watch to hear him say what
you're talking about Wallace, and then we return the channel.
The more I hear about your college, no one good,
no one. Not to have a baby in college. That's
a good thing, all right? This time for Bruce Sary's
Big six. Are you saying pick the heat like Lecron,
(01:49):
We're going big. It's goats, it's Bruce starts Big six.
All right. We are on the customer. Something special. I
told you in the first segment. We are on the customer.
A comeback, and that got a brother to thinking. One
of the greatest sports comebacks I've ever seen. Now, not
career comebacks like Tiger coming back or Michael Jordan coming back.
(02:12):
I'm talking about within a series or an event. Here
we go. Number six. Reggie Miller scores eight points in
the final nine seconds to lead the Indiana Pacers the
victory over the New York Knicks in Game one of
the Eastern Conference in my Finals, the Pacers trailing by
six with eighteen seconds left, Miller hits two three pointers,
(02:37):
two free throws for the improbable two point when one
of the most notorious trash talkers in NBA history, he
runs off the floor into the locker room shouting choke artists.
Choke Artists. Indiana went on to win the series in seven.
Can I tell you I covered that game? Yeah, I
was sitting underneath the basket. I saw it. All of
his unbeliving You heard him yelling choked. It was unbelievable.
(02:59):
Every but he was stunned at Madison Squiregard Crazy number five.
Ray Allen nails a three pointer with five seconds left
in Game six of the two thirteen NBA Finals between
Miami San Antonio. Spurs were head three two in the series,
up by five with twenty eight seconds remaining, so the
arena security crew was actually putting out the yellow rope
(03:23):
around the court, getting ready for the Spurs championship celebration. Instead,
Lebron drills the three with twenty seconds left, then he
misses another one. Chris Pros grabs the rebound, kicks it
to ray Allen, who definitely steps back behind the three
point line in the right corner and drills the three pointer.
They go on to win it in overtime. And take
(03:46):
Game seven for their second straight championship. Number four the
Boston Red Sox. Rallying in the Alcs from a three
old deficit, they become the first team in baseball history
to come back from being down three zero in the series.
The comeback began an eight game win streak in which
(04:09):
they swept the World Series to win their first title
in eighty six years and break the Curse of the Bambino.
Number three Sugar Ray Leonard rallies, he's down on all
three score cards. He's his eyes, both of them nearly swollen,
shutting Tommy Hers, the slugger is shocking the wall by
(04:33):
out boxing Sugar Ray, and Sugar Ray becomes the slugger
in the thirteenth round. Now, right before the thirteenth round,
the great trainer Angelo Dundee says these famous words to
Sugar Ray, you're blowing its sun. You're blowing it. So
Sugar Ray goes out and just unleashes a blitzkrieg on
(04:56):
Tommy Hers, knocks him through the ropes in the thirteenth.
Hers gets back up, comes out for the fourteenth and
Sugar Ray finished them off. Number two the Chicago Cubs
two thousand and sixteen World Series. Down three one to
the Cleveland Indians, the Cubs win the final two games
(05:17):
on the road, and in games seven it goes ten innings.
The Cubs win eight to seven, becoming only the six
team ever to rally from three one down in the
World Series. The victory broke Chicago's one hundred and eight
year World Series drought. Number one. You know what it is?
(05:41):
You want to guess what is it? No, that's not
number one. That offense. Brue starts Big six. It's not
a HAC one six. Wait a minute to come the
high cups Big six to come out a bundred of
two hundred and eight years for Cleveland. You'll get your chance.
It was the same year, the year for comebacks, two
(06:01):
thousand and sixteen. The Cavaliers trailing the best regular season
team in NBA seed history. That's right, the seventy three
win Golden State Warriors. Down three to one. It's looking
bleak for Lebron, it's looking bleak for Kyrie. But Lebron
comes up with the most iconic shot block in NBA history,
(06:25):
and Kyrie Irving comes up with arguably the biggest shot
in league history. With fifty three seconds left, the game winner. Yes,
it ends the fifty two year championship drought in major
sports for the city of Cleveland, Ohio. That is the
(06:46):
greatest sports comeback in my lifetime. How the rut Socks
were down three oh to the New York Kricking Yank
Championship It was the Alcs. Yes, but I'm just staying
that no team had ever come back matter, No team
had ever come back from three old baseball history. Team
had ever come back from three one in the NBA finals.
(07:07):
And you know what's so funny is tonight you're trying
to convince me that that seemed that choked. The Warriors
are now going to come back from three one. They
say they just choked from they choked the three one
down they came back in that now finals. No, it's
a totally different team because they were lying in the
same team. No kd no title will not you, No
kame Dai, no title will not take No k no title.
(07:32):
It's big sick. No Parker's Big Sick. Be sure to
catch live editions of The Odd Couple with Chris Brussard
and Rob Parker week days at seven pm Eastern four
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeart Radio app.
All right, let's stick with the NBA. But there is
more news, of course coming out, not just the NBA
Finals and Kimba Walker another king. You know everybody leaves
(07:55):
kim Boot for a good reason. The big case, why
are you dis I'm just saying Kimba's not on that level.
Kimba was third team All NBA. That's nice. Please not
on that level. The other case you think he goes
You remember that Sessa Street. What k doesn't fit on
one of these caves? Do not go with the other.
Kimba is a four time All Star. That's why he's
(08:15):
All NBA. Is he on the case bet that you
have with Rob? He doesn't even count. You didn't even
put him in that he counts Kimba, you count, No,
he counts us up there, you count. He counts us
a person. But in the case special special K, Yes,
all right, Special K. Anyway, because he made third team
All NBA, he is eligible Rob Parker for the five
(08:38):
year super Max contract worth two hundred and twenty one
million dollars. What you're talking about, willis right. So the
Charlotte Hornets can offer him that. Now any other team
can only offer him a four year deal worth one
hundred and forty million. It's a difference of eighty one
million dollars for those not good at math. Now. Kimba
(09:01):
Walker was at his camp and he took questions and
he was asked if he would take less money to
stay with the Hornets. Here's what he said, Yeah, why not?
I would take less for sure. So he's not saying
he's definitely staying for less, but it's just the idea
(09:23):
of the notion of taking less money. Now, a lot
of times an athlete Tom Brady in his case, they
try to take less money to allow the team to
sign of their very good players to enhance their chances
of winning the challenge. With Kimber, though, is that taking
you know, a lot less money? It really isn't gonna
(09:45):
impact the Hornets salary cap to that degree. There's still
whether he takes two twenty one, one, ninety whatever, they're
still going to be capped out and not able to
add like a second star or something to play with Kimba.
So take that off the list when you talk about,
oh that that'd be nice, because he's not gone that way.
(10:06):
He's not gonna get any help, right, he's not gonna change.
All he's doing is saving Michael Jordan money. So that's
that's what he's doing. There's no reason to me if
it's not gonna benefit you, why are you taking less?
If if this is the going rate in the NBA,
with what players are getting, why would I want to
take anything less? I should I should get what I'm
(10:27):
not asking for more than what other people are getting.
I should get what what's coming to me. That's so
you you if you owned the Charlotte Hornets, you would
not give him a five year two hundred twenty one? Men?
Why not you? Just he just he just said he
wasn't even in the fourth But he's the start that
they have, that's all they have. He wouldn't hear him
that much. He's the only guy that people are buying
(10:48):
tickets to go see he would you admit, that's a
very good player. I can be in the lottery without
paying somebody two hundred twenty one. Oh well then let
him go, let him go. So well, but here's my
thing with Kimba. He can go elsewhere and get four years,
one hundred and forty million. So even if you take last,
say five years, one ninety versus five years to twenty one,
(11:12):
you're still getting fifty million dollars more. No, but I'm
just not saying I'm gonna give him one hundred million dollars.
He said he'll take less, right, But no, no player
is gonna take you know that much less? Why not?
But you're taking less? Matter? No, it doesn't. He's making
over one hundred Why do Kenny take one? Twenty? Is
a big difference between one hundred and twenty thousand or
(11:35):
twenty million and one hundred ninety millions? What seventy mean?
Come on, yeah, seventy million dollars? What's the difference Once
you're making that kind of mom I'm sounding like the
fans on the radio when they call in. They're always
trying to tell people that should take less. I do
not believe in taking less. You would take less? No,
I would? Would you say that? I wouldn't. If yeah,
you want me put you on the spot. Don't put
(11:56):
me on the spot, because yeah, course, what got my
pens about to put my business out here is that
I'm about to put your salary. Don't breaking news Ryan
Parker's salary. Hold on, Rianna, we got breaking news. No,
but you you, you, you're saying that, but if you
like where you're at. He's comfortable in Charlotte, he's been
(12:17):
there eight years. If he want not a little less,
I'm not saying take one hundred and twenty million instead
of two hundred and twenty million. But if they offer
you one hundred and ninety million, that's that's only thirty
million less. And he's not that Anthony Davis, Lebron James
(12:38):
Kawhi Leonard type player. But he is their star. And
all I'm saying is that money is allocated for the
stars of the team. It's set up so that stars
of the team can can can get paid. And Chris,
you just said it. He was a third team all NBA.
He's not a hack. He's definitely not a hack. He's
(12:59):
not got a good player. He's a legitimate Premier office.
This is what I'm saying. So it didn't mean I
have to give him pay me m JP. We got
three people in here, we're in Georgian ship that we
all paid cash for. Mike has plenty of moolah to
take care of him. Would you pay credit? I didn't
pay anything for him. Oh you gotta rub it in,
(13:20):
you know, you know what time that's a hook up,
You know what time? You know what I'm saying, Mike
at Mike at hunting for cash. Somebody's got to get paid.
They once paid in the Atlanta Hawks. Go google it.
Remember John Concact got a contract thirteen million, yes, millions,
and it was way more than like Dominique and always
and they called him. His nickname after that was John
(13:42):
Contract because nobody could believe. And who was the other
guy in Seattle who's making more than uh the rain man?
You remember h McIlvaine. Do you remember that they had
to pay somebody and Jim mckelman got this contract and
uh where this does affect you though it's luxury tax. No,
(14:03):
it says luxury tax, But that can impact what other
type of players you go. I remember that because you
get deeper and deeper into the luxury tax. Me. I'm
with you in general, you know, but I just don't
think you have to get every last dollar. If you're
in a situation where you're happy, you're comfortable, you want
(14:24):
to stay, and you take a little less money. I mean,
And in this case, he's not taking less money than
what he could get elsewhere. He's not gonna take one
hundred and forty million, and that's all anybody else can
offer him. So he's still gonna be fine either way
you look at it, I understand that. I just feel like,
you know, why shouldn't they reward him. They drafted him,
(14:47):
they developed him. He's not worth two as great as
he is, he's not worth two hundred and twenty one million.
So who's to say you're only worth what someone's willing
to pay you this other guys? Is that his fault? No,
but I'm just saying he didn't. You're the one that
always argues that people need help. You're you're the biggest
You're the biggest help wanted sign walking around in the NBA.
(15:10):
Let me let me say this to you. I'm ignored, Alex.
Good job ignoring Alex. Are you asleep at the Swiss
I'm actually laughing. He was laughing, but he could he was.
He was laughing so hard the button. That's how was,
That's how funny it was. Let me ask you this, Rob,
because Kimba, as great as he is, he's never had
(15:35):
the chance to play on the big stage. He's never
you know, he's made the playoffs twice, but He's never,
you know, been able to showcase his skills and really
meaningful deep playoff games. And if I were him, I
would seriously think about looking at a team like the Lakers. Now,
(15:59):
you can get five years to twenty one from Charlotte
or you can get four years one forty from the Lakers,
and that's a big difference. So say to Charlotte offers
him two hundred million, that you're not going to the Lakes.
Should he? Should he? Or the like or just a
playoff team in general? Should he? How? How how much
(16:21):
you think he should consider a playoff team where he'll
get to shine in May and maybe June depending on
the team. That how important he could or he couldn't
want up be an a scapegoat? When when when he's
when he's that guy who signed for one hundred and
forty million and you're not gonna be the don't work out?
I mean, if you you getting Deaker in the playoffs
(16:44):
and you ball and you give Kyrie was never the
scapegoat when they lost in Cleveland? Was he ball? But
if he? But I'm just saying, if kimball on that stage,
you hadn't been in that stage, doesn't pan out what
were people what? But rightly, so if you don't play well,
but I'm just saying, I'm not saying you didn't help
Lebron or right, yeah, but it's not all. But it's
(17:04):
not always just that it might have been that he
was okay, but maybe not. I'm not saying the total
doug but anything that doesn't lead to Lebron winning. Kyrie
ever escaped. Kyrie made a big shot of help about
the years. They know Kyrie played greaty average twenty eight
points against the war Boys. So if Kimba played, but
all the other players, all the other players got blamed.
(17:26):
Who else Kevin Kevin Kevin Love got blamed? Did Kevin
Love average nine points in the finals? He couldn't get
the ball? Could Lebron won? Pass? Stop it? You y'all
know the deal. Y'all know the pattern. When the corny
jokes start coming, he's out of ammunition. I'm not out
of him all. Kevin Love shouldn't have got blamed for
shooting like thirty percent in averaging nine points in the finals.
(17:47):
You know how many bell those baskets popped out? Those
are tough luck misses. J R. Smith shouldn't have got
blamed for for not knowing time was a game over?
Did he lose the game on that play? They didn't
lose the Lebron gave up Leron gave up an over Toppy.
He quit stop Lebron quit that guy defend Jr. Yes
(18:08):
Ron because the game wasn't over. Chris with the game over, no,
Lebron went to the bench and he pouded, they wouldn't
meet me. Pouded, he I'm gonna go back on that.
Somebody looking up, Rob g what do you have? One
point one free throw? He just threwing the time to
see how Man, what's good for the goose is good
for the gander? Rob Parker, I'm telling you, Lebron, you
(18:31):
know I'm a master debater. You want to do this?
You said you're a what masturbater? Master debat? S? Where
is your man? Hit your mind out of the gun.
I'm a little moist right now. Get your mind out
of the gun. I'm a like to you, man, Lebron. Sorry.
Lebron had two free throws in a five minute overtime
(18:53):
and the game that he scored fifty one had a
chance to steal Game one and change the series. He
pouded like a big baby after j R. Smith did
not cost him the game, but didn't win the game.
There's a big difference between two. No, I agree with that,
But just because he paladed doesn't mean he quit, doesn't
mean he quit. He was upset, but they still could
(19:15):
have won that game right with that. But I don't
know that he quit. I don't think he cried, you
know what I'm saying. He just he let that thing
bother him. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Odd Couple with Chris Brussar then Rob Parker weekdays at
seven pm Eastern four pm Pacific. Speaking of a bad note,
(19:38):
baseball players are added again. Here we go, Rob G
tell us what happened last night between the Colorado Rockies
go ahead and the Chicago Cubs thinking about the finals
(19:59):
but go ahead? Well you this goes back to last season.
These teams got bad blood. Chris Bryant think was drilled
three or four times just last season. And while it's
been boiling over the last two weeks. Because the Rockies
have been the Cubs players four times in the last
two weeks in their couple of series and yesterday have
reached a breaking point. Four guys were being yesterday's game alone,
(20:24):
including Nolan Arronado, the Rocky Star who actually had to
leave the game with the forearm contusion. Thank god he's
okay and he's playing a night. But yes, there were
balls flying at people's heads, their backs, their shoulders, their
buttocks everywhere. Rob Parker, this is an embarrassment. This is
what they called baseball. No, it's not what they called baseball.
(20:48):
Baseball is stealing bases, hitting home runs, hitting singles, fielding grounders,
fly balls. That is what they called baseball. They don't
call base ball throwing at a batter. Here's the changing
to hurt somebody. It's not trying to hurt film as
the whole thing Chris is. If you don't have those
kind of mechanisms, guys would feel very comfortable in the
(21:11):
box and they would never fear that the pitch is
gonna come close, or back them off, or let them
know that you have some displeasure with whatever they're doing.
Are not on the backing. I'm just saying in general,
so ar not on the backing. No, I'm just saying,
but in general, the players police the game in baseball.
You don't need to have the commissioner and people involved.
(21:34):
They usually hand Baseball get that that luxury, and none
of the other sports do. Because this is what's always
been a part of the game. The game is one hundred.
The Oklahoma drill was always a part of football as
long as heating guys in the head above the shouts
a part of football. No, but in baseball now changing.
(21:55):
Why can't baseball change If you're talking about I'm I'm
against being being somebody, that's what they did yesterday. They
were being Oh, he got hit in the arm, and
to get in the head, a beating is in the head.
They were trying to being guys. That beating people's time.
It was described no but it being but it doesn't
mean you could intentionally mean to hit somebody. But they
(22:15):
didn't throw at the helmet. We're lucky. One of the
best players in the league isn't out with an elbow injury.
But he got hit in the arm. Normally you're trying
to look for the back, the buttocks, wherever there's some
extra pushing for the cushion, cushing for the tie. To
hearing all this, you gotta police the game. You gotta
defend your teammates. I mean the guys in that locker
(22:36):
room you gotta defend. Are they boxers? It is not
the MMA. You're not even playing football where you can't hit? What?
What is all this violent talk about baseball? I gotta
protect somebody, play the game. Protect them by throwing strikes,
by them, protect them by throwing them out on the
ground ball, protect them by getting singles and hit the
(22:59):
whole runs. You don't need to get off. I do
we hear that in basketball? Do we hear that? Oh?
You got we gotta protect the guy. You used to
have guys that were you're you're tough guys. You don't
have that anymore because the NBA has changed. The NBA
went soft. You can't even play defense in the NBA
win the NBA went soft. You can't even touch anybody.
(23:20):
Foul five. If I even put my hand on you,
it's a foul. Yes, you can. Nbas and mister softie,
of all major sports in this country, you can't even
play defense. They'll blow a whistle at you right away.
It's not like it used to be. You talking about changing.
That's changing for the worst baseball When you talk about
(23:42):
every once in the wall, change for them, every once
in the while. These things flare up. It doesn't happen
every night. You're not beating in people. You're not trying
to hit guys in the hand, and dick head happens
once in the wild. And I can't believe you're defending me.
I can't believe mister tuhand touch is defending baseball players
threw it at each other. Mister, that's ridiculous, mister tuan
(24:04):
touch no place. And you know how many NFL players
dropped dead at fifty five? Good Chris, it's been fine.
It has no place in the game. Why why if
you're mad at the hitter, strike him out, get him
the ground out. That's how you protect your teammates. This
(24:27):
is ludicrous, No, you And with a big guy throwing
a baseball at ninety five miles an hour at you,
that's intimidation. So if you're trying to intimidate my guy
or hit him to make him feel uncomfortable in the
box so he can't beat you with his bat, I'm
gonna intimidate one of your guys, That's what That's what
it is. Intimidated ninety five mile hour fastball, buy him?
(24:50):
How about that? No, But I'm also gonna throw it,
throw inside. I'm getting on that. But they didn't. They
try to hit guys last night. That's what it was about.
Rob And enough of these unwritten rules. Why is baseball?
They got more unwritten rules than written rules. It's ridiculous,
you know, it's foolishness. This is nineteen forty eight, it's
(25:13):
two thousand nineteen. Step into the modern era. We don't
cheat on purpose, so we don't throw and look at you.
You jump on the Patriots for cheating. You jump on
the Patriots for bucking the rules. You jump on the
NFL for unnecessary roughness. But when it comes to baseball,
(25:33):
anything goes. What's up, mister Parker. You're supposed to be
the hater of all time. When it comes to baseball,
it's nothing but love. Oh your baby, I didn't all love.
I didn't like a lot of stuff that goes on.
You cheer big contracts that comes to though, But I
ripped them. Oh my man, many muchado. You see that
(25:55):
he got three hundred millions. Yeah, baseball is alive. And
well after that contract, I think I needed a cigarette
and a box of Cleand you were a little moist
right now, it's right now. It was It was the
idea that I did rip baseball that they weren't signing
those guys, and then eventually they came around. So I
(26:16):
was happy to see that the game was alive and
wealth that's all. But you needed that is proof. Yes
I did. But but the point of you're making that
you I'm right, No, I don't. And this this thing
from baseball is when you tell me somebody got hit
in the head or in the face, and it gets
to escalates to that. Now we're talking about something totally different.
(26:36):
We don't see that those pictures can hit any spot
they want. They can't. Yes, they can't do that. They
wouldn't walk, Yes they can't. I'm talking to but I
hit guys one accident. But I'm talking about I'm talking
about if you really aiming to hit somebody, you could
do it. And and my point is that it doesn't
happen and they know not to cross the line. I
(26:57):
could hit you in the butt, but I should not
throw at your face above your shoulders. What if that's
the dangerous part. What if he had been out for
two months? It would be bad for baseball if they
if they hit him like that and he was out
of the game. I would definitely say you don't want
to do that. They used to do that in the
National Hockey League in the playoffs, sending the goon to
beat up the best player in hockey. So you mean
(27:19):
they've changed. Yeah, they don't do that anymore. So Basketball changed,
football change, hockeys change, But then America's pastime can't change.
It's above the law. Is that what you're saying. It's
not above the law. But what what fathers you so much?
What bothers you about a guy getting hit? I'm just
don't understand. Peace, peace, mother. No, I'm gonna tell you
(27:42):
what bothers me. Play the game. It's the same thing
we always talk about. If if you can't beat the guy,
then don't cheat to beat him, throw it by him,
get him out home, ruined him, something like that. What
if in basketball it was just you know, what if
it's just killing us tonight, I'm gonna take his legs out.
(28:03):
I mean, what if what if players did that type
of stuff? What if in football or Tom Brady's on
fire tonight, I'm gonna have to get him with a
cheap shot. They get after him. You don't want to
do a cheap shot to hurt somebody throwing something. Would
you not admit that throwing at somebody, even if it's
at the buttocks or as you like to call it,
the meaty parts of the body, even if it's that,
(28:25):
that's a cheap shot, right right, I wouldn't say a
cheap shot. I just wouldn't say throwing at somebody's a
cheap So if depends on what happened with the picture
on the other team, First I need to see what
happens if they try to intimidate or try to throw
at my star player, or or they hit my star player.
Then I'm gonna hit your star player. And that's some
(28:45):
case back and forth and the National League last night.
But in the National League sometimes when the pitchers get
to hit something, they don't always get the hit. But
in the National League, when guys get up the bat
they might have to pay the price. That's just how
it is that there's just no defense for a rob
in twenty nineteen, there is no defending throwing at batters.
(29:08):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry so you wanted so let me
ask you, what do you want the league to do?
Should they uh with with somebody with like like, they
should be suspended ejected and suspended. Is that what you
want something? It's a start. If you throw at a
guy purposely, Yeah, there should be some recourse. There should
(29:32):
and that would get it out. I mean, enough of this. No,
if you start taking if you start taking money from people,
I agree with you. If you start taking money from people,
you know what's gonna happen. People will stop

s R. You're listening to the Best of the Odd
Couple with Chris Bruce and Rod Harker. We got different shows.
It takes different shows. It takes different shows to rule
the world. I really did like that show. That was
(00:42):
a good show. And you know what that Saturday night lineup.
But still remember Different Strokes, Facts of Life, Love Boat
and Fantasy Islands, right, Yeah, but not on the same channel. Yeah, no,
I'm pretty different. Different Stroke was on NBC. Other Different Strokes.
The other ones were on a check that out. I'm
telling you check that Different Strokes the NBC show. It
(01:04):
might have been NBC, but maybe there are the other ones.
You were talking about Fantasy Island for sure, Facts of
Life and Different Strokes told NBC and we had two
d Kim Fields. Yes, I enjoyed that. That really was
a great interview. Yeah, NBC and you know what I
was gonna say, Arnold. When I was in college, to
play the reruns of all that, we used to sit there,
(01:26):
no lie and just watch to hear him say what
you're talking about Wallace, and then we return the channel.
The more I hear about your college, no one good,
no one. Not to have a baby in college. That's
a good thing, all right? This time for Bruce Sary's
Big six. Are you saying pick the heat like Lecron,
(01:49):
We're going big. It's goats, it's Bruce starts Big six.
All right. We are on the customer. Something special. I
told you in the first segment. We are on the customer.
A comeback, and that got a brother to thinking. One
of the greatest sports comebacks I've ever seen. Now, not
career comebacks like Tiger coming back or Michael Jordan coming back.
(02:12):
I'm talking about within a series or an event. Here
we go. Number six. Reggie Miller scores eight points in
the final nine seconds to lead the Indiana Pacers the
victory over the New York Knicks in Game one of
the Eastern Conference in my Finals, the Pacers trailing by
six with eighteen seconds left, Miller hits two three pointers,
(02:37):
two free throws for the improbable two point when one
of the most notorious trash talkers in NBA history, he
runs off the floor into the locker room shouting choke artists.
Choke Artists. Indiana went on to win the series in seven.
Can I tell you I covered that game? Yeah, I
was sitting underneath the basket. I saw it. All of
his unbeliving You heard him yelling choked. It was unbelievable.
(02:59):
Every but he was stunned at Madison Squiregard Crazy number five.
Ray Allen nails a three pointer with five seconds left
in Game six of the two thirteen NBA Finals between
Miami San Antonio. Spurs were head three two in the series,
up by five with twenty eight seconds remaining, so the
arena security crew was actually putting out the yellow rope
(03:23):
around the court, getting ready for the Spurs championship celebration. Instead,
Lebron drills the three with twenty seconds left, then he
misses another one. Chris Pros grabs the rebound, kicks it
to ray Allen, who definitely steps back behind the three
point line in the right corner and drills the three pointer.
They go on to win it in overtime. And take
(03:46):
Game seven for their second straight championship. Number four the
Boston Red Sox. Rallying in the Alcs from a three
old deficit, they become the first team in baseball history
to come back from being down three zero in the series.
The comeback began an eight game win streak in which
(04:09):
they swept the World Series to win their first title
in eighty six years and break the Curse of the Bambino.
Number three Sugar Ray Leonard rallies, he's down on all
three score cards. He's his eyes, both of them nearly swollen,
shutting Tommy Hers, the slugger is shocking the wall by
(04:33):
out boxing Sugar Ray, and Sugar Ray becomes the slugger
in the thirteenth round. Now, right before the thirteenth round,
the great trainer Angelo Dundee says these famous words to
Sugar Ray, you're blowing its sun. You're blowing it. So
Sugar Ray goes out and just unleashes a blitzkrieg on
(04:56):
Tommy Hers, knocks him through the ropes in the thirteenth.
Hers gets back up, comes out for the fourteenth and
Sugar Ray finished them off. Number two the Chicago Cubs
two thousand and sixteen World Series. Down three one to
the Cleveland Indians, the Cubs win the final two games
(05:17):
on the road, and in games seven it goes ten innings.
The Cubs win eight to seven, becoming only the six
team ever to rally from three one down in the
World Series. The victory broke Chicago's one hundred and eight
year World Series drought. Number one. You know what it is?
(05:41):
You want to guess what is it? No, that's not
number one. That offense. Brue starts Big six. It's not
a HAC one six. Wait a minute to come the
high cups Big six to come out a bundred of
two hundred and eight years for Cleveland. You'll get your chance.
It was the same year, the year for comebacks, two
(06:01):
thousand and sixteen. The Cavaliers trailing the best regular season
team in NBA seed history. That's right, the seventy three
win Golden State Warriors. Down three to one. It's looking
bleak for Lebron, it's looking bleak for Kyrie. But Lebron
comes up with the most iconic shot block in NBA history,
(06:25):
and Kyrie Irving comes up with arguably the biggest shot
in league history. With fifty three seconds left, the game winner. Yes,
it ends the fifty two year championship drought in major
sports for the city of Cleveland, Ohio. That is the
(06:46):
greatest sports comeback in my lifetime. How the rut Socks
were down three oh to the New York Kricking Yank
Championship It was the Alcs. Yes, but I'm just staying
that no team had ever come back matter, No team
had ever come back from three old baseball history. Team
had ever come back from three one in the NBA finals.
(07:07):
And you know what's so funny is tonight you're trying
to convince me that that seemed that choked. The Warriors
are now going to come back from three one. They
say they just choked from they choked the three one
down they came back in that now finals. No, it's
a totally different team because they were lying in the
same team. No kd no title will not you, No
kame Dai, no title will not take No k no title.
(07:32):
It's big sick. No Parker's Big Sick. Be sure to
catch live editions of The Odd Couple with Chris Brussard
and Rob Parker week days at seven pm Eastern four
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeart Radio app.
All right, let's stick with the NBA. But there is
more news, of course coming out, not just the NBA
Finals and Kimba Walker another king. You know everybody leaves
(07:55):
kim Boot for a good reason. The big case, why
are you dis I'm just saying Kimba's not on that level.
Kimba was third team All NBA. That's nice. Please not
on that level. The other case you think he goes
You remember that Sessa Street. What k doesn't fit on
one of these caves? Do not go with the other.
Kimba is a four time All Star. That's why he's
(08:15):
All NBA. Is he on the case bet that you
have with Rob? He doesn't even count. You didn't even
put him in that he counts Kimba, you count, No,
he counts us up there, you count. He counts us
a person. But in the case special special K, Yes,
all right, Special K. Anyway, because he made third team
All NBA, he is eligible Rob Parker for the five
(08:38):
year super Max contract worth two hundred and twenty one
million dollars. What you're talking about, willis right. So the
Charlotte Hornets can offer him that. Now any other team
can only offer him a four year deal worth one
hundred and forty million. It's a difference of eighty one
million dollars for those not good at math. Now. Kimba
(09:01):
Walker was at his camp and he took questions and
he was asked if he would take less money to
stay with the Hornets. Here's what he said, Yeah, why not?
I would take less for sure. So he's not saying
he's definitely staying for less, but it's just the idea
(09:23):
of the notion of taking less money. Now, a lot
of times an athlete Tom Brady in his case, they
try to take less money to allow the team to
sign of their very good players to enhance their chances
of winning the challenge. With Kimber, though, is that taking
you know, a lot less money? It really isn't gonna
(09:45):
impact the Hornets salary cap to that degree. There's still
whether he takes two twenty one, one, ninety whatever, they're
still going to be capped out and not able to
add like a second star or something to play with Kimba.
So take that off the list when you talk about,
oh that that'd be nice, because he's not gone that way.
(10:06):
He's not gonna get any help, right, he's not gonna change.
All he's doing is saving Michael Jordan money. So that's
that's what he's doing. There's no reason to me if
it's not gonna benefit you, why are you taking less?
If if this is the going rate in the NBA,
with what players are getting, why would I want to
take anything less? I should I should get what I'm
(10:27):
not asking for more than what other people are getting.
I should get what what's coming to me. That's so
you you if you owned the Charlotte Hornets, you would
not give him a five year two hundred twenty one? Men?
Why not you? Just he just he just said he
wasn't even in the fourth But he's the start that
they have, that's all they have. He wouldn't hear him
that much. He's the only guy that people are buying
(10:48):
tickets to go see he would you admit, that's a
very good player. I can be in the lottery without
paying somebody two hundred twenty one. Oh well then let
him go, let him go. So well, but here's my
thing with Kimba. He can go elsewhere and get four years,
one hundred and forty million. So even if you take last,
say five years, one ninety versus five years to twenty one,
(11:12):
you're still getting fifty million dollars more. No, but I'm
just not saying I'm gonna give him one hundred million dollars.
He said he'll take less, right, But no, no player
is gonna take you know that much less? Why not?
But you're taking less? Matter? No, it doesn't. He's making
over one hundred Why do Kenny take one? Twenty? Is
a big difference between one hundred and twenty thousand or
(11:35):
twenty million and one hundred ninety millions? What seventy mean?
Come on, yeah, seventy million dollars? What's the difference Once
you're making that kind of mom I'm sounding like the
fans on the radio when they call in. They're always
trying to tell people that should take less. I do
not believe in taking less. You would take less? No,
I would? Would you say that? I wouldn't. If yeah,
you want me put you on the spot. Don't put
(11:56):
me on the spot, because yeah, course, what got my
pens about to put my business out here is that
I'm about to put your salary. Don't breaking news Ryan
Parker's salary. Hold on, Rianna, we got breaking news. No,
but you you, you, you're saying that, but if you
like where you're at. He's comfortable in Charlotte, he's been
(12:17):
there eight years. If he want not a little less,
I'm not saying take one hundred and twenty million instead
of two hundred and twenty million. But if they offer
you one hundred and ninety million, that's that's only thirty
million less. And he's not that Anthony Davis, Lebron James
(12:38):
Kawhi Leonard type player. But he is their star. And
all I'm saying is that money is allocated for the
stars of the team. It's set up so that stars
of the team can can can get paid. And Chris,
you just said it. He was a third team all NBA.
He's not a hack. He's definitely not a hack. He's
(12:59):
not got a good player. He's a legitimate Premier office.
This is what I'm saying. So it didn't mean I
have to give him pay me m JP. We got
three people in here, we're in Georgian ship that we
all paid cash for. Mike has plenty of moolah to
take care of him. Would you pay credit? I didn't
pay anything for him. Oh you gotta rub it in,
(13:20):
you know, you know what time that's a hook up,
You know what time? You know what I'm saying, Mike
at Mike at hunting for cash. Somebody's got to get paid.
They once paid in the Atlanta Hawks. Go google it.
Remember John Concact got a contract thirteen million, yes, millions,
and it was way more than like Dominique and always
and they called him. His nickname after that was John
(13:42):
Contract because nobody could believe. And who was the other
guy in Seattle who's making more than uh the rain man?
You remember h McIlvaine. Do you remember that they had
to pay somebody and Jim mckelman got this contract and
uh where this does affect you though it's luxury tax. No,
(14:03):
it says luxury tax, But that can impact what other
type of players you go. I remember that because you
get deeper and deeper into the luxury tax. Me. I'm
with you in general, you know, but I just don't
think you have to get every last dollar. If you're
in a situation where you're happy, you're comfortable, you want
(14:24):
to stay, and you take a little less money. I mean,
And in this case, he's not taking less money than
what he could get elsewhere. He's not gonna take one
hundred and forty million, and that's all anybody else can
offer him. So he's still gonna be fine either way
you look at it, I understand that. I just feel like,
you know, why shouldn't they reward him. They drafted him,
(14:47):
they developed him. He's not worth two as great as
he is, he's not worth two hundred and twenty one million.
So who's to say you're only worth what someone's willing
to pay you this other guys? Is that his fault? No,
but I'm just saying he didn't. You're the one that
always argues that people need help. You're you're the biggest
You're the biggest help wanted sign walking around in the NBA.
(15:10):
Let me let me say this to you. I'm ignored, Alex.
Good job ignoring Alex. Are you asleep at the Swiss
I'm actually laughing. He was laughing, but he could he was.
He was laughing so hard the button. That's how was,
That's how funny it was. Let me ask you this, Rob,
because Kimba, as great as he is, he's never had
(15:35):
the chance to play on the big stage. He's never
you know, he's made the playoffs twice, but He's never,
you know, been able to showcase his skills and really
meaningful deep playoff games. And if I were him, I
would seriously think about looking at a team like the Lakers. Now,
(15:59):
you can get five years to twenty one from Charlotte
or you can get four years one forty from the Lakers,
and that's a big difference. So say to Charlotte offers
him two hundred million, that you're not going to the Lakes.
Should he? Should he? Or the like or just a
playoff team in general? Should he? How? How how much
(16:21):
you think he should consider a playoff team where he'll
get to shine in May and maybe June depending on
the team. That how important he could or he couldn't
want up be an a scapegoat? When when when he's
when he's that guy who signed for one hundred and
forty million and you're not gonna be the don't work out?
I mean, if you you getting Deaker in the playoffs
(16:44):
and you ball and you give Kyrie was never the
scapegoat when they lost in Cleveland? Was he ball? But
if he? But I'm just saying, if kimball on that stage,
you hadn't been in that stage, doesn't pan out what
were people what? But rightly, so if you don't play well,
but I'm just saying, I'm not saying you didn't help
Lebron or right, yeah, but it's not all. But it's
(17:04):
not always just that it might have been that he
was okay, but maybe not. I'm not saying the total
doug but anything that doesn't lead to Lebron winning. Kyrie
ever escaped. Kyrie made a big shot of help about
the years. They know Kyrie played greaty average twenty eight
points against the war Boys. So if Kimba played, but
all the other players, all the other players got blamed.
(17:26):
Who else Kevin Kevin Kevin Love got blamed? Did Kevin
Love average nine points in the finals? He couldn't get
the ball? Could Lebron won? Pass? Stop it? You y'all
know the deal. Y'all know the pattern. When the corny
jokes start coming, he's out of ammunition. I'm not out
of him all. Kevin Love shouldn't have got blamed for
shooting like thirty percent in averaging nine points in the finals.
(17:47):
You know how many bell those baskets popped out? Those
are tough luck misses. J R. Smith shouldn't have got
blamed for for not knowing time was a game over?
Did he lose the game on that play? They didn't
lose the Lebron gave up Leron gave up an over Toppy.
He quit stop Lebron quit that guy defend Jr. Yes
(18:08):
Ron because the game wasn't over. Chris with the game over, no,
Lebron went to the bench and he pouded, they wouldn't
meet me. Pouded, he I'm gonna go back on that.
Somebody looking up, Rob g what do you have? One
point one free throw? He just threwing the time to
see how Man, what's good for the goose is good
for the gander? Rob Parker, I'm telling you, Lebron, you
(18:31):
know I'm a master debater. You want to do this?
You said you're a what masturbater? Master debat? S? Where
is your man? Hit your mind out of the gun.
I'm a little moist right now. Get your mind out
of the gun. I'm a like to you, man, Lebron. Sorry.
Lebron had two free throws in a five minute overtime
(18:53):
and the game that he scored fifty one had a
chance to steal Game one and change the series. He
pouded like a big baby after j R. Smith did
not cost him the game, but didn't win the game.
There's a big difference between two. No, I agree with that,
But just because he paladed doesn't mean he quit, doesn't
mean he quit. He was upset, but they still could
(19:15):
have won that game right with that. But I don't
know that he quit. I don't think he cried, you
know what I'm saying. He just he let that thing
bother him. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Odd Couple with Chris Brussar then Rob Parker weekdays at
seven pm Eastern four pm Pacific. Speaking of a bad note,
(19:38):
baseball players are added again. Here we go, Rob G
tell us what happened last night between the Colorado Rockies
go ahead and the Chicago Cubs thinking about the finals
(19:59):
but go ahead? Well you this goes back to last season.
These teams got bad blood. Chris Bryant think was drilled
three or four times just last season. And while it's
been boiling over the last two weeks. Because the Rockies
have been the Cubs players four times in the last
two weeks in their couple of series and yesterday have
reached a breaking point. Four guys were being yesterday's game alone,
(20:24):
including Nolan Arronado, the Rocky Star who actually had to
leave the game with the forearm contusion. Thank god he's
okay and he's playing a night. But yes, there were
balls flying at people's heads, their backs, their shoulders, their
buttocks everywhere. Rob Parker, this is an embarrassment. This is
what they called baseball. No, it's not what they called baseball.
(20:48):
Baseball is stealing bases, hitting home runs, hitting singles, fielding grounders,
fly balls. That is what they called baseball. They don't
call base ball throwing at a batter. Here's the changing
to hurt somebody. It's not trying to hurt film as
the whole thing Chris is. If you don't have those
kind of mechanisms, guys would feel very comfortable in the
(21:11):
box and they would never fear that the pitch is
gonna come close, or back them off, or let them
know that you have some displeasure with whatever they're doing.
Are not on the backing. I'm just saying in general,
so ar not on the backing. No, I'm just saying,
but in general, the players police the game in baseball.
You don't need to have the commissioner and people involved.
(21:34):
They usually hand Baseball get that that luxury, and none
of the other sports do. Because this is what's always
been a part of the game. The game is one hundred.
The Oklahoma drill was always a part of football as
long as heating guys in the head above the shouts
a part of football. No, but in baseball now changing.
(21:55):
Why can't baseball change If you're talking about I'm I'm
against being being somebody, that's what they did yesterday. They
were being Oh, he got hit in the arm, and
to get in the head, a beating is in the head.
They were trying to being guys. That beating people's time.
It was described no but it being but it doesn't
mean you could intentionally mean to hit somebody. But they
(22:15):
didn't throw at the helmet. We're lucky. One of the
best players in the league isn't out with an elbow injury.
But he got hit in the arm. Normally you're trying
to look for the back, the buttocks, wherever there's some
extra pushing for the cushion, cushing for the tie. To
hearing all this, you gotta police the game. You gotta
defend your teammates. I mean the guys in that locker
(22:36):
room you gotta defend. Are they boxers? It is not
the MMA. You're not even playing football where you can't hit? What?
What is all this violent talk about baseball? I gotta
protect somebody, play the game. Protect them by throwing strikes,
by them, protect them by throwing them out on the
ground ball, protect them by getting singles and hit the
(22:59):
whole runs. You don't need to get off. I do
we hear that in basketball? Do we hear that? Oh?
You got we gotta protect the guy. You used to
have guys that were you're you're tough guys. You don't
have that anymore because the NBA has changed. The NBA
went soft. You can't even play defense in the NBA
win the NBA went soft. You can't even touch anybody.
(23:20):
Foul five. If I even put my hand on you,
it's a foul. Yes, you can. Nbas and mister softie,
of all major sports in this country, you can't even
play defense. They'll blow a whistle at you right away.
It's not like it used to be. You talking about changing.
That's changing for the worst baseball When you talk about
(23:42):
every once in the wall, change for them, every once
in the while. These things flare up. It doesn't happen
every night. You're not beating in people. You're not trying
to hit guys in the hand, and dick head happens
once in the wild. And I can't believe you're defending me.
I can't believe mister tuhand touch is defending baseball players
threw it at each other. Mister, that's ridiculous, mister tuan
(24:04):
touch no place. And you know how many NFL players
dropped dead at fifty five? Good Chris, it's been fine.
It has no place in the game. Why why if
you're mad at the hitter, strike him out, get him
the ground out. That's how you protect your teammates. This
(24:27):
is ludicrous, No, you And with a big guy throwing
a baseball at ninety five miles an hour at you,
that's intimidation. So if you're trying to intimidate my guy
or hit him to make him feel uncomfortable in the
box so he can't beat you with his bat, I'm
gonna intimidate one of your guys, That's what That's what
it is. Intimidated ninety five mile hour fastball, buy him?
(24:50):
How about that? No, But I'm also gonna throw it,
throw inside. I'm getting on that. But they didn't. They
try to hit guys last night. That's what it was about.
Rob And enough of these unwritten rules. Why is baseball?
They got more unwritten rules than written rules. It's ridiculous,
you know, it's foolishness. This is nineteen forty eight, it's
(25:13):
two thousand nineteen. Step into the modern era. We don't
cheat on purpose, so we don't throw and look at you.
You jump on the Patriots for cheating. You jump on
the Patriots for bucking the rules. You jump on the
NFL for unnecessary roughness. But when it comes to baseball,
(25:33):
anything goes. What's up, mister Parker. You're supposed to be
the hater of all time. When it comes to baseball,
it's nothing but love. Oh your baby, I didn't all love.
I didn't like a lot of stuff that goes on.
You cheer big contracts that comes to though, But I
ripped them. Oh my man, many muchado. You see that
(25:55):
he got three hundred millions. Yeah, baseball is alive. And
well after that contract, I think I needed a cigarette
and a box of Cleand you were a little moist
right now, it's right now. It was It was the
idea that I did rip baseball that they weren't signing
those guys, and then eventually they came around. So I
(26:16):
was happy to see that the game was alive and
wealth that's all. But you needed that is proof. Yes
I did. But but the point of you're making that
you I'm right, No, I don't. And this this thing
from baseball is when you tell me somebody got hit
in the head or in the face, and it gets
to escalates to that. Now we're talking about something totally different.
(26:36):
We don't see that those pictures can hit any spot
they want. They can't. Yes, they can't do that. They
wouldn't walk, Yes they can't. I'm talking to but I
hit guys one accident. But I'm talking about I'm talking
about if you really aiming to hit somebody, you could
do it. And and my point is that it doesn't
happen and they know not to cross the line. I
(26:57):
could hit you in the butt, but I should not
throw at your face above your shoulders. What if that's
the dangerous part. What if he had been out for
two months? It would be bad for baseball if they
if they hit him like that and he was out
of the game. I would definitely say you don't want
to do that. They used to do that in the
National Hockey League in the playoffs, sending the goon to
beat up the best player in hockey. So you mean
(27:19):
they've changed. Yeah, they don't do that anymore. So Basketball changed,
football change, hockeys change, But then America's pastime can't change.
It's above the law. Is that what you're saying. It's
not above the law. But what what fathers you so much?
What bothers you about a guy getting hit? I'm just
don't understand. Peace, peace, mother. No, I'm gonna tell you
(27:42):
what bothers me. Play the game. It's the same thing
we always talk about. If if you can't beat the guy,
then don't cheat to beat him, throw it by him,
get him out home, ruined him, something like that. What
if in basketball it was just you know, what if
it's just killing us tonight, I'm gonna take his legs out.
(28:03):
I mean, what if what if players did that type
of stuff? What if in football or Tom Brady's on
fire tonight, I'm gonna have to get him with a
cheap shot. They get after him. You don't want to
do a cheap shot to hurt somebody throwing something. Would
you not admit that throwing at somebody, even if it's
at the buttocks or as you like to call it,
the meaty parts of the body, even if it's that,
(28:25):
that's a cheap shot, right right, I wouldn't say a
cheap shot. I just wouldn't say throwing at somebody's a
cheap So if depends on what happened with the picture
on the other team, First I need to see what
happens if they try to intimidate or try to throw
at my star player, or or they hit my star player.
Then I'm gonna hit your star player. And that's some
(28:45):
case back and forth and the National League last night.
But in the National League sometimes when the pitchers get
to hit something, they don't always get the hit. But
in the National League, when guys get up the bat
they might have to pay the price. That's just how
it is that there's just no defense for a rob
in twenty nineteen, there is no defending throwing at batters.
(29:08):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry so you wanted so let me
ask you, what do you want the league to do?
Should they uh with with somebody with like like, they
should be suspended ejected and suspended. Is that what you
want something? It's a start. If you throw at a
guy purposely, Yeah, there should be some recourse. There should
(29:32):
and that would get it out. I mean, enough of this. No,
if you start taking if you start taking money from people,
I agree with you. If you start taking money from people,
you know what's gonna happen. People will stop
