(00:50):
we have a big night tonight. We have NBA Playoff action,
we have NHL Playoff action, we have two minute reports.
But I'm gonna tell you, Mike Harmon, there's something that
you know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
As a fan, I would have not wanted to see it,
but boy, as a radio host, it would have been something.
So the Rangers and Hurricanes. All right, big series in
the NHL. Hurricanes are my team. You know how much
I can't stand the Rangers my entire life. And it's
three three, late in the third period. They're actually going
to overtime in a couple of minutes, tied at three,
Big game two, Rangers up one game to none. So
(01:24):
I'm watching the game in the in the in the kitchen,
we're getting ready to go here. Hurricanes had a big
shot on goal with about a minute half left to go,
which just stork and made to say okay. With just
under a minute left in overtime and the Rangers on
a power play. ESPN cuts to the Avalanche and the
Stars like the play is going on, and they cut
(01:44):
to the game where it's just warm ups. It's it's
the Avalanche that starts, are just skating warm ups, and
I'm going, what the hell, what the hell, what's going on?
And you know when they finally went back to the
game after a little bit. Right now, as a fan,
I'm like, Okay, nothing happen, and the Rangers didn't score.
We're gonna wa okay, okay, okay, but boy, party would
have loved to see you cut back to the game,
(02:06):
and like the Rangers is celebrating a goal liked scar
Let's have a land.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I'm sure we could go back in the annals of
history and find a few of those moments and let's
check in.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
You know this game coming up.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Next after this one finishes, and now you know you
missed the ot goal, you missed that final minute or
two of uh, you know, added time in a soccer game.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I could just see the control room. What happened, what's happening?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
What?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Like?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Obviously I don't know what happened that it must have
been automated, so I can't believe anybody actually in a
control room. It went through like three or four checks,
and meg were ready to go to the game. Let's
go to the game. But man, I'll tell you, for
all of a sudden in the middle of it, like
action is going on. The Rangers are skating up the
ice of the buck. I'll tell you what have really
been something to cut back like twenty seconds later and
(02:55):
Madison Square Garden's going nuts and the Rangers just celebrating.
They're cutting the way to all the nick fans that
are at the game. Ah ha, that would have really
been something. Now, as a Hurricanes fan. I would have
hated it because basically, the series is over. We're down
to zip. Oh man, that sucks.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Why are they shaking hand? Wait a minute, what what
I miss?
Speaker 5 (03:14):
A game is over?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I don't understand that would have been.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
You know how there's people that I'm sure had years
taking off their life in that control room if they're
just going don't score, don't score, don't score, don't score,
because I could just see, like, hey, your lifespan's gonna
be right bled age of ninety eight, oh, ninety seven,
ninety six, ninety five, ninety five.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Jason, I mean legitimately though, I mean in this age
since COVID, Right, we've had a lot of things where
you've been doing a lot of broadcasts have been done
off site, right, guys off and you know, states away
cost cutting measures, plus also the pandemic and all of
those things were where folks weren't.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Traveling, and the automation part of it.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I would have to think someone smart enough to not
look at the call sheet going all right, we're gonna
go to this a you know, at this stroke of
six o'clock West Coast time. But I can't put it
past anybody all right, that's what it says on the sheet.
Hit the button, because if it's automated at this point,
then then you've also got a bunch of stopgaps. This
(04:18):
is like when Homer was in the Mumu and he
had that bird that dimps and didn't press the button properly.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
And we have a nuclear melt down. Like He's kind
of the same thing here. What happened to him? He
went out for a smoke, he had an automated.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I heard that really would have been something like, what
is happening? I missed it? How did you not see this?
I'm watching him going what the hell is going on here?
What the hell is happening? Why did they suddenly cut
to and I'm going, wait, is this game supposed to
go to another channel? Is this? And then luck luckily,
like you know, they rectified it, nothing happened, So okay,
but boy, that really would have been something.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Man, that Really you have to go on to Game seven,
nineteen ninety four against the Canucks Madison Square Garden or
whatever the.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Hell it was going nuts when they won the Cup.
Uh huh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah, yeah, you know that was what I say.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
Yeah, sure, that was yeah, sure, I and the garden
hasn't gone nuts since.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
No, no, come on, we went to the NBA Finals
in ninety nine, We went to the NBA Finals in
ninety four.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Like I said, it hasn't been allowed since we're going.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
To has sold out? How many counts? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Yeah, job yeah him, Taylor Swift, you got banners for
both of them.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
What sport does Billy Joel play? Yeah, Billy Joel plays piano.
He plays it, please the piano sport?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I had one.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
He sells that like my job.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
No, I'll go for it. Nah, it's just we're not
doing the roast today.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Guys were trying to get Harmon fired.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
No, go for it.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I'll be in HR tomorrow. I'll say yeah. No, Harmon
seven three.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Just said, hey, let's go, let's fire it up.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
I love how Jason thinks we have HR.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah. No, that that got eliminated.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
Somebody want to tell them we now.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Have fight clumb instead. That's how we adjudicate things.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Uh so again, what this is where we're at right now?
And oh, by the way, yes, we do have a
lot of NBA to go through tonight. Look, no surprise.
In the first game of the night, the Celtics take
care of the cap. Look, these are all series nobody
cares about, right, these are Hey, it's great, No nobody cares.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Again, I was kind of excited to see, you know,
came one coming.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Well just me?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yeah, maybe maybe it was me that was fired up
about it because I went away from the chalk right
when we did our picks. I you know, I said,
why give me the dark horse in Cleveland?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
That works?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I also thought that tell Allen that I thought he'd
still be able to play, still recovering from the reb
contusion that's kept him out several games. Boston without your guy,
Chris stops porzingis the Latvian Dirk no problem, Derek White,
budding superstar.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Truly all comes.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Down to, yeah, look but yeah, great series. Yah, Celtics
are gonna win that and four they're gonna surround and go, okay,
we're getting the Knicks and we're getting the Pacers. Are
we getting a Knicks team that is playing all their
starters forty eight minutes a night? Now they're all gonna
play more Because Mitchell Robinson's out for the playoffs after
a stress injury. Now he's out the next six to
eight weeks, doesn't matter he's only playing eleven minutes a
game anyway, Now Tims's rotation is down to six, doesn't matter. Look,
(07:05):
that's the series, man, The entire NBA Playoffs is Nicks.
That's it right now. Everything else is yeah, that's nice.
Oh that series is nice. Oh this is nice. Oh
it is not. But the Knicks, I mean, the Knicks
is just so entertaining everything. That's not just me being
a Knicks when I'm telling you the Nicks, the Knicks
Pacers is the entire playoffs. And if the Knicks advance,
the Knick Celtics will be the entire playoffs.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
That entertaining.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
What's gonna go? Man, that's just I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I don't know how entertaining.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I didn't make the Hey, I make the rules, man,
but they're from New York. And because you can get
thirty seven minutes of contest in a row, in a
row of all the people sitting courtside, I mean, it's
like they're swapping them out like their seat fillers.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Hey, there's these guys down there.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Now, It's not like those guys are eighty five eighty two.
This isn't even though it seems like it's nineteen ninety six.
Come on, you're talking one twenty one, one seventeen. There's
lots of points, there's stuff going on. It's not over time.
Just stop. Just you got Jalen Brunton scoring forty three.
Everything is fine. It's his entertaining as a possibly be
and it's holding up the playoffs. They're like Atlas holding
(08:03):
up the playoffs. That's a or the fifty one fifty
Van Halen where it's it's Jalen Brunson holding up the
entire ball of wax, which is the NBA playoffs. That's
what the NBA new logo should be. Forget about Jerry Wes,
get rid of that. Jalen Brunson on his knees with
the shoulder with the NBA logo on the world behind him.
That should be the NBA lowl.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Well that's the one I put up for the show
with my quads holding us up long long ago.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
But yeah, no, you can't deny it.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I mean the appeal of New York positive negative, and
certainly people start doing random reviews of New York in
the middle of their game, and now it's like, the
hell does the rats on the subway track have to
do with anything?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Right now, but hey, you know it makes for good
and fodder.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
But yeah, it's all about Boston and New York in
terms of the the big conversation pieces and then whatever
people want to go into the hyperbole of Anthony Edwards.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I mean, that's it like that. That's where we're at
right now.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Dallas, Oklahoma City, twenty five, twenty three, early in the
second quarter. We'll have more on this game coming up.
But yes, the big news today we all waited for it.
The two minute report of the final two minutes of
last night's Nicks game against the Pacers, and it basically
showed what we said it was going to show last night,
the two calls. The Pacers were most upset about the
kickball and the screen, and the NBA said, yeah, we
(09:25):
missed the kickball call, which we knew that last night.
We knew they missed the kickball call. And the screen
was a legal screen or was an illegal screen, and
calling the foul on floor was correct. We knew that
was going to be backed up because it was The
question is do you want to call it at that time?
How egregious is it? But yeah, you knew the NBA
come back and say this is yeah, this is a foul.
(09:46):
This is an offensive foul. Devincenzo sold it. You knew
that was going to happen. So once again, now that
this came out, Okay, first of all, I'm not giving
the win back. The Knicks are not giving it back.
Oh you made a mistake, We're not giving it back.
I'm glad that the Pacers spent today focusing on this. Yes,
focus on the referees, focus on what's going on, focus
on that, and continue to say, how if the kickball
(10:06):
play had not been called, you would have won the game,
which is incorrect. You would have had the ball in
a tie game. Maybe you would have scored, maybe you
wouldn't have. But to throw it out there, I see
a lot of pundits today going, yeah, it was so
yeah the video. Yeah, they would have had the ball
with a chance to go up by two maybe three,
or maybe they don't score, or maybe they scored, the
Nick score back and take the lead. Like It's not
(10:28):
like it was it was a game deciding play. It
was a play that they missed a call on and
there was still the majority of a minute left to play,
right if if that's what you're focused But the thing
is you can go back and say, Okay, you missed
this moving screen on Devincenzo, all right, but when you
missed this moving screen on Miles Turner earlier, you missed
this play. Let's talk about the big ones in the
final two minutes. That's like, oh, this is what cost
(10:50):
the Pacers to win. The screen on Miles should have
done it right. Even Carlisle said, hey, we can't put
ourselves in that position. Okay, just ask you orim me.
He's gonna tell you what it's all abut out Hey
that moving screen call. But uh but okay, So if
you want to sit here and say, oh, had we
gotten the kickball call, because that's basically what what a
lot of Pacers are saying and boiling down to that,
how we gotten that kickball call, we would have won. No,
(11:12):
it's great that you think that, and it's great that
you think that all the referees took that out of
you're focused on the wrong things, just like Philadelphia, Philadelphia
went home in six games. I'm absolutely fine with how
the Pacers are reacting to this two minute call, the
two minute report coming off this because again, just like
game just like Game two with the Knicks, and the Sixers.
It's one call that was missed. Yes, it would have
been an advantage for the other team, But did it
(11:33):
mean they were going to win.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
No.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
And just because the team says, oh, we would have
won if you had just add that call, doesn't make
it right. Doesn't make that correct.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yeah, I know the argument about it is again, let's
let's look at replay as a whole.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Uh. And whether the.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
You know, we talk about the bizarre or whatever, the
grand Pooba for the NFL that we always want sitting
up top and directing traffic, then maybe the NBA needs
the same of the you screwed that up right, you know,
and it's a dead ball, so we can review it,
and no team should have to worry about a challenge
or whatever because you know what, you got this wrong.
(12:09):
We could have that discussion, but complaining about the final
forty seconds of a game playing out off of that
call or whatever was fifty two seconds at that point.
Play defense, yeah, play defense, make a play, And I agree, like,
obviously much different when we start backtracking, you know, five
minutes earlier or whatever. We got a lot of possessions,
(12:30):
a lot of time, a lot a lot of different
movements that go to it in the final minute.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
It's exacerbated, and you have the dopey two minute review
and report that comes out that people can burn or
whatever to get their frustrations out. But it ain't changing
anything and it never will. And by letter of the law,
at twelve seconds, guess what Miles Turner had?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
A moving screen? Was it a soft moving screen? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I think we can all agree to that that you've
let that play go probably forty times over the course
the game. Hell, in the in the Western Conference, you
certainly saw it time and again, guys getting thrown all
over the place of looking for calls, which is part
of the reason Jamal Murray started just throwing stuff at people.
But it was just you know, if you call it
in that moment, letter of the law, that's the foul. Sorry,
(13:17):
it was inside the final minute.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yeah, I look, there's a ton of game, all right,
it's fifty two seconds left. How many more possessions are there?
How many more shots, how many more back and forth
are there? But like, oh, yeah, that call, I get it.
They missed the call. And you know, I'm being truthful
because what happened when the Knicks got screwed at the
end of game At the end of game five, what
did I say, Hey, yeah, Josh Hart was not out
of bound, should have been in bounds, so other foul
should have been called that didn't get called. You know what, Yeah,
(13:40):
we didn't make plays. We blew the game, right, I
didn't complain about the officiating then, and for come den
down to one call that's missed the last minute. Yes,
it is too bad. It would have given the Pacers
the ball. But stop thinking and acting like the game
was over. Like we would have gone in for a dunk,
then what would happened. We would have stle the inbound
pass and what then we would have dunked again? Then
what would have happened? Just tole the inbound pass again
(14:01):
and then what happened to be a dunked again? I mean,
that's what the Pacers want you to think, like, oh,
fifty two cent games over games over at that point,
and that's just stupid.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
You know, the Pacers have scored eight points in seven
seconds before, right.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
You know, Frostburg, you know you know I can key
your car eight times seven seconds. I can do it, Frostburg.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
You know, it's a very special anniversary in the NBA today.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
Oh, it's a huge one, Mike, and you know what,
we're gonna do it next.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
No, we don't have any we don't have the audio.
We don't have the audio for really. Yeah, it's been
scrubbed out of the system. I'm sorry, we don't have it.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Oh, not only do we have it. No, it's an HD.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
No we don't.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Oh wow. Oh you know what.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
No, you'll wear it next. It's no. No, you know what.
It's good that we're going to talk about this because
I'm going to tell you how overrated the guy involved
in this, his entire career was, and he owes his
entire stardom to this play against the Knicks. Okay, we'll
get to that. Yeah, I'm glad we're gonna do this. Oh,
I'm glad we're gonna do this. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
If you have hated in your heart, let it out.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I'm just I'm just wow, dude, I'm just being realistic here, body.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
You have worn this for nearly thirty years, that's been
gestating New York Go, New Yorky air their concession.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Now, good lord, I.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Know I hold up the choke sign to him, Michael, No, no, no,
we'll get we'll get to that coming up net.

Rag dot Com Studios, Oklahoma City, Leeds, Dallas, thirty six
thirty three, seven minutes to go on the second quarter. Yes,
we could be on the verge of potentially seeing a
t Wolves thunder Western Conference Finals, just like we all
(16:18):
drew it up the two teams. Nobody had any confidence
in the top two teams. Oh, the Nuggets will beat that,
they'll beat that, They'll be no were It looks like
we might wind up getting the Thunder and the.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
T Wolves, those upstart te Wolves came out swinging.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Get ready, all right, that's the first round of a
boxing match that you got your ass kicked. You got
back to the corner of the bell rang to save
you and you said, what the hell aire we doing

get in the middle of the ring and start yelling
at the referee like you're Michael Malone.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Get red Anthony Edwards and Shi Gildess. Alexander. It's the
new it's gonna be the new NBA rivalry. Everybody's wondering
who it's going to be. New rivals Zion and Jada. Nope,

because if they if they face off, it's happening. It's
absolutely happening.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Chet gets to be the corner man.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Oh yeah, yeah, Chet's got a role. I mean, but
he's like he's a supporting role. But I mean, because
Check's too interesting. But That's the best part is that
usually the best supporting actor best supporting actress is the
most enjoyable when they're nominated, they're the most enjoyable part
of the movie. So okay, like you can enjoy Chet,
but hey, you know, clear, let's realize the rivalry and
the MVP guys are SGA and Aunt Edwards. Let me
come on that.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Yeah, And normally I look at the post and said,
they put the wrong guy up there, just because that
was the guy that got the bigger check to sign on.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
That guy can't act.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Chet will be He's just a pretty boy. Chet will
be just fine.

Now we are, of course. And now I'm gonna stress
free day right here, because you know, no Knicks Pacers

Rangers and the Hurricanes. Hurricanes tied three to three midway
through the first overtime.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
So it's a.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Stress free day, and it's a good day to break
down a guy that's going to take center stage over
the next twenty four hours, and that's Reggie Miller. All right.

Yeah, oh, you say that to his face, although he's
gonna forget about that after what I say about him
in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
So that's just a warm up.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Twenty nine year anniversary and Reggie Miller returns to the
scene of the crime tomorrow as he's broadcasting the game.
I had big deal. He's going to be back at MSG.
He's doing the game, he's very excited. Made an appearance
on The Dan Patrick Show and he talked about it
and very excited to come back to MSG. Embracing it,
embraces all of this, what's going on with the Knicks
(20:36):
and the Pacers who met six times in the playoffs,
in the nineties, like every year they met, they split
the series. The Knicks won three times, the Pacers won
three times. It was a lot of fun. And now
you got Reggie Miller getting set for tomorrow, and you
had a big, wide ranging interview with Dan Patrick talking
about many things about how oh hey, yeah, this was
great and I had this back and forth with Spike
Lee and I made up with Spike Lee and all
(20:57):
of this, And then he had a big warning.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Did he confirm her Tony whether he went to a
strip club? Nick Kramer?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Uh No, that was not part of the interview. I
think Dan left that uh.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Out that it was actually in it.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
But but here is Reggie Miller shouting out a warning
to Knicks fans for tomorrow, the moogie man is coming back.
Speaker 8 (21:19):
Starks will be there at at the game, like you
actually had a physical conference you and John Stark's okay,
I haven't seen Johnny boy in a lot, so he'll
be there.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
Trial Uh bring them all, Patrick, Do you think I
care about it?
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Any of them?
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Well, you're not going to mess with you? And you
you you're like Patrick, he's a good guy. You're gonna
mess with I could easily make a call and get something.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Like no chance Oakley's allowed in that game.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
He ain't even allowed in the arena.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Well, no, Youwing they'll allow and Oakley they won't.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
But you saw what he you know, you guys talked
about what Oakley said the other right, you know, saying
how Jalen Brunson is the best Nick since Clyde Fridge.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Yeah, yeah, Wait a minute, water, Hang on a second.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
So does he have beef with Patrick Ewing? We don't
know about, and he's just.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Trying to get his seats back. He's got beef with
a lot of people, I think. But here's the thing, Like, Okay,
I'm glad Reggie Miller is leaning into this and the
Boogeyman is coming back because it's fun. Right, Reggie Miller
has been fun and this whole thing with the Knicks
has been fun. But let's be realistic. Okay, Reggie Miller
was a fun player and he was a pretty good shooter,
but he is completely overrated for his career. Okay, whoa,
(22:34):
whoa Reggie Miller. Let me ask you this, yes or no?
Did Reggie Miller for his career average more or less
than twenty points a game?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Eighteen points? A game. Reggie Miller. Okay, Reggie Miller was
the sixteenth leading scorer of the nineties.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Hey, he's still in the top ten all time in
three point shots made. Yeah, that's what I've been told that.
You know, Steph Curry and those guys changed the game.
All of these guys would be eradicated.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Yeah, Reggie Miller scored twenty again. Yes, it's the nineties.
The NBA is a little bit different era, but it's.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Not like he was going a little bit different.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
You still saw Jordan score in thirty five a game.
You saw a lot of Yeah, but he was a
mute thirty five a game. Used again, the sixteenth best
scorer of the nine Bernard King, averaged more points per game.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Okay, they needed someone to score for the Knicks.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Reggie Miller's entire career was made by this run right
here with the Knicks. This little twelve points and two seconds.
That's his entire career. That's all anybody talks about with him.
That's the only shining moment he has. Was that moment.
That's it. That's the only thing he's got.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
A Hey, we all should strive for one shining moment.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
But we have this image of Reggie Miller saw, No,
Reggie Miller was a pretty good shooter. Was he great?
I know he was great. I think he was. He
was arrogant, he was cocky, and he cut through, and
he was a guy you paid attention to. He was polarizing, right,
which was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Right.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
You like guys who were polarizing and guys who weren't.
And Reggie, But Reggie Miller was not a guy that
lit up the scoreboard every single time out. He was
not that guy, right, He wasn't. And and you can
can you tell me anything else any other play from
his career other than what he did in the garden
with with the with Spike Lee and the three and
the eight points nine seconds, No, there's nothing else.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Football Hall of Fame. He's got two.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah, that's two. That's two. That but that's also two
championships that he has. Reggie Miller's got no championship.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
So there's that.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Yeah, well, okay, And and not for the Hoosiers under
poppy Nights.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Is entire or the fever alongside Caitlyn Clark.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
That's a whole other story. Again, his whole.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Career and his stardom and what he's been able to do.
All comes from that game, the rivalry with Spike Lee,
beating the Knicks in that game and being the guy
that scored the eight points and nine seconds. That's it.
That's Reggie Miller's entire career. It is amped up because
of that. It's not that Reggie Miller wasn't a good
play Reggie Miller was a good player. I'm not saying
he wasn't. But Reggie Miller wasn't. Oh my goodness, he
(25:01):
was Steph Curry back at He wasn't. He wasn't. He
was overrated. He owes the Knicks for everything he's got,
because everything he's got because this brought such a huge
level of stardom for him, and it's the only thing
that anybody talks about with him. Just understand that for
Reggie mirr a little bit, that that's that this play
is really his whole career. And you listen to him
on Dan Patrick, He's so excited. Oh yeah, I'll talk
(25:22):
about this. I don't care. Bring all the guy. It's
the greatest moment of my career. It was a playoff
game that we won in the middle of his series. Yes, great.
It was heartbreaking for the Knicks, and I still see
him stealing the ball and dribbling back out behind the three.
What are you doing dribbling back by the three point No,
because I can make it from there. Okay, great, I
can still see it. It was painful, it was awful.
But at the same time, that's it. That's the guy's career.
(25:43):
Of course he would he would do. He would do
appearances with the Knicks players and sign autographs for fifty bucks.
A shot of him making that or him yelling with
Spike Lee. That's his whole career. His whole stardom is
built off of that with the Knicks. So let's be
clear with Reggie Milker. He's basically Captain America for that moment.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
No, but that's just it. He's lived ren free in
your head for twenty nine years.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
So now just because you got Game one out of
the way and you stole the win, now now you're
all chesty and you're you're taking this guy's career, five
time All Stars being.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Look, it happened twenty nine years ago. It sucked. Yes,
it's part of nick lore, but it's not something I
think about a whole a whole bat I bet your
Reggie Miller thinks about it every single day. He wakes
up and probably hits play and says, computer, play my highlight,
and they play that highlight and he sees it. Hey,
I'm ready to attack the day, and he has coffee,
gets up and ready to go.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Man to that, I'm ready.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
I'm ready, dude, As I say all the time, if
you can find your wins in life, man, if that's
the thing that's going to motivate you to get through,
as long as you ain't hurting anybody else except the
feelings of Knicks fans, because I can tell I bet
you're still chapping your ass all these years later.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
He's dross. That's it.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
Every day wakes up, watches the high every.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Day, wakes up a reminder of how great I was
for that moment.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Alexa. Play Reggie mil Or eight points and nine seconds
against the next place, playing Reggie Miller eight points and
nine seconds once again for you, Reggie, good morning every
day at that you.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
Know what Reggie hows and no other NBA great house.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
What is that?
Speaker 6 (27:13):
Eight points and seven seconds?
Speaker 2 (27:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
I think Tyres Maxie might have done that in the
UH in game five and not like that. He might have, man,
but that no, but that's Reggie. I'm glad he's leaning
into it. It's his whole career. His whole career boils
down to that. That's that's what he's known for. That,
that's what it is. Okay, great, Outside of that, you
would say, Reggie Miller, Yeah, what do you remember from
his career. He's pretty good shooter. Yeah, yeah, he liked
(27:38):
to talk. Yeah, uh okay, but his numbers got to
be pretty good. Yeah. He was eighteen three and three
for his career. Uh yeah, it was a different era. Yeah,
but still you had a lot of guys scoring more
than twenty points a game, more than twenty two points
a game, which is more twenty one whatever he average
in the nineteen nineties. He had a lot of guys
doing that. I think mock Mon abdul Rauf scored more
(28:00):
points per game in the in the nineteen nineties, Reggi Miller,
and Reggie Miller was a shooting guard. Okay, just job
to score and that that's what he put up on
the board. I mean, come on, man, dude, his whole
career he owes everything to the next look at you.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
You got the artist formally known as Chris Jackson in.
Speaker 9 (28:15):
The show, he owes everything to be all right, let's
see between the eighty nine ninety season, ninety eight ninety
nine season, all right, start going through it, tough guy
as to because I see between that period he was two.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
For E's seventh you.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Are you're not. You're not looking at anything correct between.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Eighty nine ninety and ninety eight ninety nine. Hang out
dat mus.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I did it today. I got it right here, and
he is sixteenth. I'm like, he is sixteenth with points
per game in the nineteen nineties.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
That's interesting because I got him seventh.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
I think you're on something wrong.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Malone, Jordan Ewing, Robinson, Mitch Richmond, Hakeem Elaijuan and Reggie Miller.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
I think you're looking at one year.
Speaker 6 (28:57):
His computer's not plugged in.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
I think your computer's not plauged in.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Okay, Creed, I think you're ear Did you fact check him?
Frostburg normally I'm feder at the math part.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Dan him, you're on a wrong page. I don't know
what page you're on, but you're on a wrong Nay,
eighteen three and three is not really Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6 (29:13):
I don't no, it's the probe.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
It's it's that Natesmith Basketball Hall of Fame. If we
lobby hard enough, one of the three of us might
get in.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
But for those eight seconds, he's a Hall of Famer in.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
My eyes, it's an all time great that way. I'm
on nineteen ninety scoring leaders number one. It's goes Jordan Malone, O'Neill, Robinson, Ewing,
Elijah On, Iverson Wilkins, Mitch Richmond is on that. Like
I said, I give you Richmond, Barkley, King Bird, Duncan,
Raheem Robinson, Miller.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
And Jenna Jamisons all stop. But that's too soon sixteen
thousand plus, too soon, Too soon for you too.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Jason Smith Mike Harmon Live the Tirack dot Com Studios.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Coming up next.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
You want to know the Effectitlin Clark has already had
on the WNBA without playing a game. Wait'll we tell
you what happened today. That's next right here, Jason and
Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon, Live from the tire rag dot Com
Studios Rangers Hurricanes going to double overtime tied to three apiece. Meanwhile,
Mavericks and the Thunder also in a break at halftime,
the Thunder lead the Mavericks sixty two point fifty three.
(30:38):
The game was a back and forth struggle for a while,
but then the Thunder pull away at halftime. Here and
again we could be very close to a Thunder t
Wolves Western Conference Finals. Jai Gildess Alexander nineteen points in
twenty minutes, leading the way for Oklahoma City. But you
want to say, all Caitlin Clark, what kind of exam
(31:00):
an impact is she really gonna have in the WNBA.
What she got without even playing a game, She changed
the fortunes of the league today. Okay, right before she
played her first preseason game, right Indiana's play was her
first game, there was a viral video of her in
the airport as they were flying. You know, there were
(31:22):
Pete fans waiting for her at the game when she
played her first game when they played Dallas and there
were fans in the airport and it came up. Yeah,
a little weird because WNBA flies commercial. It's kind of weird.
Flying commercial. They've flown commercial since the beginning of time,
since the beginning of this league, they have flown commercial
beginning of the league. One viral video of Caitlin Clark
(31:45):
showing up and you see fans are right here, they
can walk right up to coming off players say, hey,
wait a minute, you know it's really not that safe.
We really should all be flying charter today. The story
breaks the WNBA will fly all their team's charter by
the within the next few months. I got to figure
out planes and figure out money. So they're they're getting
it going forward. But in the next few months now,
all the teams are gonna fly charter. So tell me
(32:07):
again how Caitlin Clark is not changing things and showing
up to the w NBA like she's magic and Larry
rolled into one. Just a viral video of her in
an airport. Hey, this is dangerous. Oh guess what she got.
She already got charter travel for everybody in the league. Okay,
just think about that. Yes, there's other players that are
that are important. You saw the the desire to watch
(32:29):
Angel Reese's first game because the person who was able
to stream it got like two hundred thousand views.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Yeah, how dumb was that? Because that that leads you
to a lot of question though.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Who the hell look? And that's the thing is and
that's the whole point about this is that, yes, the
number one is, look at what Caitlin Clark is already doing.
She got charter travel already because of one viral video.
Everybody should be behind her. There should be no backlash
because she's bringing this league into the twenty first century. Now,
the other, the other part of it is this is
(32:59):
that hey, and this is a big piece of advice,
like I gotta tell a WNBA and you guys gotta
stop looking minor league now, man, you gotta stop looking
minor league where where everything that comes up, it's like
it's like sports from that's either double A baseball, Right,
you can't have the two biggest headlines of opening week
with Caitlin Clark and Angel Rees playing where the biggest
(33:20):
two headlines are yes we still fly commercial and oh
no one could see the games on TV. Yeah, you
can see them on our app. But we didn't make
these games readily available to anyone when clearly there was
a market for it, and any one of a number
of national sports networks would have picked up Caitlin Clark's
first game, Angel Reese's first game. There's a market out
there for it. You can't look so minor league. And
(33:41):
that's the big that's the big concern I have is
that we're getting into the league. There's a lot of eyeballs.
People are gonna be watching these games. There's only another
game or two in the preseason before they wind up
kicking it off for real, and you have the Olympics
coming up this summer. You cannot look so minor league.
And right now I look at the WNBA and I go, Wow,
that's mine league. Wow, that's minor league. How do you
(34:03):
not work around the clock to fix this image right now?
Because that's my main concern.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
Well, because the thing you've seen since tickets went on sale,
since the draft, since the production of jerseys, and all
the estimate estimations of how long it's going to be
before those are actually fulfilled, all of that, you've just
seen this. This has grown quite quickly. And all the
veteran players, you saw the how quickly they got cameras
(34:29):
in their faces to get a reaction. Most of them
were kind of speechless because they don't want to owe
the success and this opportunity to the arrival of Caitlin
Clark and this rookie class.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
But here we are.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
They're estimating twenty five million a year for the security
and flights and whatever else, and the broadcast rights are
up next year.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
What else have we heard?
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Well, tickets go on sale and what happens They sell
out very quickly. In Los Angeles. Her first appearance here
is now going to be at Crypto right now, going
to be at the crypt Versus it was supposed to
be down I think, at the Pyramid.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
So it was gonna be what.
Speaker 6 (35:03):
Five hours next week, Mike, It'll be at the Rose Bull, could.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Be before it's all said, none, all of a sudden,
it's on an air aircraft carrier off the shore here.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
I don't know, but yeah, it's absolutely true.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Like we've seen city after city going, oh wow, the
demand's really there and we can sell at twenty thirty
bucks ahead plus concessions plus parking. Everybody's seeing the dollar signs.
They actually just need to sit in a room and
get the decision makers to be a little more forward
thinking as opposed to reactionary.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
I mean, you have to realize that now now is
the time to say, Okay, we have more eyeballs, honest
than any other time we've ever had. We got to
look like we know what we're doing. We gotta look
like we know how to run a major sport, because
right now the first two headlines are gotta know that
they do. Yeah, I don't know about that.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
It's a pretty good stream that that woman had from
mid court. I mean that was good.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
That was pretty Just hold the phone steady, hold it
steady so I can watch. Let me see those hearts,
Let me see those hearts. So I'm gonna turn the
feet off. Coming up next, we got another big story
out of the NFL. Somebody else's upset about Tom Brady's
roast Fox

(00:50):
we have a big night tonight. We have NBA Playoff action,
we have NHL Playoff action, we have two minute reports.
But I'm gonna tell you, Mike Harmon, there's something that
you know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
As a fan, I would have not wanted to see it,
but boy, as a radio host, it would have been something.
So the Rangers and Hurricanes. All right, big series in
the NHL. Hurricanes are my team. You know how much
I can't stand the Rangers my entire life. And it's
three three, late in the third period. They're actually going
to overtime in a couple of minutes, tied at three,
Big game two, Rangers up one game to none. So
(01:24):
I'm watching the game in the in the in the kitchen,
we're getting ready to go here. Hurricanes had a big
shot on goal with about a minute half left to go,
which just stork and made to say okay. With just
under a minute left in overtime and the Rangers on
a power play. ESPN cuts to the Avalanche and the
Stars like the play is going on, and they cut
(01:44):
to the game where it's just warm ups. It's it's
the Avalanche that starts, are just skating warm ups, and
I'm going, what the hell, what the hell, what's going on?
And you know when they finally went back to the
game after a little bit. Right now, as a fan,
I'm like, Okay, nothing happen, and the Rangers didn't score.
We're gonna wa okay, okay, okay, but boy, party would
have loved to see you cut back to the game,
(02:06):
and like the Rangers is celebrating a goal liked scar
Let's have a land.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I'm sure we could go back in the annals of
history and find a few of those moments and let's
check in.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
You know this game coming up.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Next after this one finishes, and now you know you
missed the ot goal, you missed that final minute or
two of uh, you know, added time in a soccer game.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I could just see the control room. What happened, what's happening?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
What?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Like?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Obviously I don't know what happened that it must have
been automated, so I can't believe anybody actually in a
control room. It went through like three or four checks,
and meg were ready to go to the game. Let's
go to the game. But man, I'll tell you, for
all of a sudden in the middle of it, like
action is going on. The Rangers are skating up the
ice of the buck. I'll tell you what have really
been something to cut back like twenty seconds later and
(02:55):
Madison Square Garden's going nuts and the Rangers just celebrating.
They're cutting the way to all the nick fans that
are at the game. Ah ha, that would have really
been something. Now, as a Hurricanes fan. I would have
hated it because basically, the series is over. We're down
to zip. Oh man, that sucks.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Why are they shaking hand? Wait a minute, what what
I miss?
Speaker 5 (03:14):
A game is over?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I don't understand that would have been.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
You know how there's people that I'm sure had years
taking off their life in that control room if they're
just going don't score, don't score, don't score, don't score,
because I could just see, like, hey, your lifespan's gonna
be right bled age of ninety eight, oh, ninety seven,
ninety six, ninety five, ninety five.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Jason, I mean legitimately though, I mean in this age
since COVID, Right, we've had a lot of things where
you've been doing a lot of broadcasts have been done
off site, right, guys off and you know, states away
cost cutting measures, plus also the pandemic and all of
those things were where folks weren't.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Traveling, and the automation part of it.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I would have to think someone smart enough to not
look at the call sheet going all right, we're gonna
go to this a you know, at this stroke of
six o'clock West Coast time. But I can't put it
past anybody all right, that's what it says on the sheet.
Hit the button, because if it's automated at this point,
then then you've also got a bunch of stopgaps. This
(04:18):
is like when Homer was in the Mumu and he
had that bird that dimps and didn't press the button properly.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
And we have a nuclear melt down. Like He's kind
of the same thing here. What happened to him? He
went out for a smoke, he had an automated.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I heard that really would have been something like, what
is happening? I missed it? How did you not see this?
I'm watching him going what the hell is going on here?
What the hell is happening? Why did they suddenly cut
to and I'm going, wait, is this game supposed to
go to another channel? Is this? And then luck luckily,
like you know, they rectified it, nothing happened, So okay,
but boy, that really would have been something.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Man, that Really you have to go on to Game seven,
nineteen ninety four against the Canucks Madison Square Garden or
whatever the.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Hell it was going nuts when they won the Cup.
Uh huh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah, yeah, you know that was what I say.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
Yeah, sure, that was yeah, sure, I and the garden
hasn't gone nuts since.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
No, no, come on, we went to the NBA Finals
in ninety nine, We went to the NBA Finals in
ninety four.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Like I said, it hasn't been allowed since we're going.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
To has sold out? How many counts? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Yeah, job yeah him, Taylor Swift, you got banners for

Speaker 1 (05:22):

Speaker 2 (05:27):
I had one.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
He sells that like my job.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
No, I'll go for it. Nah, it's just we're not
doing the roast today.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Guys were trying to get Harmon fired.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
No, go for it.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I'll be in HR tomorrow. I'll say yeah. No, Harmon
seven three.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Just said, hey, let's go, let's fire it up.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
I love how Jason thinks we have HR.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah. No, that that got eliminated.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
Somebody want to tell them we now.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Have fight clumb instead. That's how we adjudicate things.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Uh so again, what this is where we're at right now?
And oh, by the way, yes, we do have a
lot of NBA to go through tonight. Look, no surprise.
In the first game of the night, the Celtics take
care of the cap. Look, these are all series nobody
cares about, right, these are Hey, it's great, No nobody cares.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Again, I was kind of excited to see, you know,
came one coming.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Well just me?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yeah, maybe maybe it was me that was fired up
about it because I went away from the chalk right
when we did our picks. I you know, I said,
why give me the dark horse in Cleveland?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
That works?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I also thought that tell Allen that I thought he'd
still be able to play, still recovering from the reb
contusion that's kept him out several games. Boston without your guy,
Chris stops porzingis the Latvian Dirk no problem, Derek White,
budding superstar.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Truly all comes.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Down to, yeah, look but yeah, great series. Yah, Celtics
are gonna win that and four they're gonna surround and go, okay,
we're getting the Knicks and we're getting the Pacers. Are
we getting a Knicks team that is playing all their
starters forty eight minutes a night? Now they're all gonna
play more Because Mitchell Robinson's out for the playoffs after
a stress injury. Now he's out the next six to
eight weeks, doesn't matter he's only playing eleven minutes a
game anyway, Now Tims's rotation is down to six, doesn't matter. Look,
(07:05):
that's the series, man, The entire NBA Playoffs is Nicks.
That's it right now. Everything else is yeah, that's nice.
Oh that series is nice. Oh this is nice. Oh
it is not. But the Knicks, I mean, the Knicks
is just so entertaining everything. That's not just me being
a Knicks when I'm telling you the Nicks, the Knicks
Pacers is the entire playoffs. And if the Knicks advance,
the Knick Celtics will be the entire playoffs.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
That entertaining.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
What's gonna go? Man, that's just I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I don't know how entertaining.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I didn't make the Hey, I make the rules, man,
but they're from New York. And because you can get
thirty seven minutes of contest in a row, in a
row of all the people sitting courtside, I mean, it's
like they're swapping them out like their seat fillers.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Hey, there's these guys down there.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Now, It's not like those guys are eighty five eighty two.
This isn't even though it seems like it's nineteen ninety six.
Come on, you're talking one twenty one, one seventeen. There's
lots of points, there's stuff going on. It's not over time.
Just stop. Just you got Jalen Brunton scoring forty three.
Everything is fine. It's his entertaining as a possibly be
and it's holding up the playoffs. They're like Atlas holding
(08:03):
up the playoffs. That's a or the fifty one fifty
Van Halen where it's it's Jalen Brunson holding up the
entire ball of wax, which is the NBA playoffs. That's
what the NBA new logo should be. Forget about Jerry Wes,
get rid of that. Jalen Brunson on his knees with
the shoulder with the NBA logo on the world behind him.
That should be the NBA lowl.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Well that's the one I put up for the show
with my quads holding us up long long ago.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
But yeah, no, you can't deny it.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I mean the appeal of New York positive negative, and
certainly people start doing random reviews of New York in
the middle of their game, and now it's like, the
hell does the rats on the subway track have to
do with anything?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Right now, but hey, you know it makes for good
and fodder.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
But yeah, it's all about Boston and New York in
terms of the the big conversation pieces and then whatever
people want to go into the hyperbole of Anthony Edwards.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I mean, that's it like that. That's where we're at
right now.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Dallas, Oklahoma City, twenty five, twenty three, early in the
second quarter. We'll have more on this game coming up.
But yes, the big news today we all waited for it.
The two minute report of the final two minutes of
last night's Nicks game against the Pacers, and it basically
showed what we said it was going to show last night,
the two calls. The Pacers were most upset about the
kickball and the screen, and the NBA said, yeah, we
(09:25):
missed the kickball call, which we knew that last night.
We knew they missed the kickball call. And the screen
was a legal screen or was an illegal screen, and
calling the foul on floor was correct. We knew that
was going to be backed up because it was The
question is do you want to call it at that time?
How egregious is it? But yeah, you knew the NBA
come back and say this is yeah, this is a foul.
(09:46):
This is an offensive foul. Devincenzo sold it. You knew
that was going to happen. So once again, now that
this came out, Okay, first of all, I'm not giving
the win back. The Knicks are not giving it back.
Oh you made a mistake, We're not giving it back.
I'm glad that the Pacers spent today focusing on this. Yes,
focus on the referees, focus on what's going on, focus
on that, and continue to say, how if the kickball
(10:06):
play had not been called, you would have won the game,
which is incorrect. You would have had the ball in
a tie game. Maybe you would have scored, maybe you
wouldn't have. But to throw it out there, I see
a lot of pundits today going, yeah, it was so
yeah the video. Yeah, they would have had the ball
with a chance to go up by two maybe three,
or maybe they don't score, or maybe they scored, the
Nick score back and take the lead. Like It's not
(10:28):
like it was it was a game deciding play. It
was a play that they missed a call on and
there was still the majority of a minute left to play,
right if if that's what you're focused But the thing
is you can go back and say, Okay, you missed
this moving screen on Devincenzo, all right, but when you
missed this moving screen on Miles Turner earlier, you missed
this play. Let's talk about the big ones in the
final two minutes. That's like, oh, this is what cost
(10:50):
the Pacers to win. The screen on Miles should have
done it right. Even Carlisle said, hey, we can't put
ourselves in that position. Okay, just ask you orim me.
He's gonna tell you what it's all abut out Hey
that moving screen call. But uh but okay, So if
you want to sit here and say, oh, had we
gotten the kickball call, because that's basically what what a
lot of Pacers are saying and boiling down to that,
how we gotten that kickball call, we would have won. No,
(11:12):
it's great that you think that, and it's great that
you think that all the referees took that out of
you're focused on the wrong things, just like Philadelphia, Philadelphia
went home in six games. I'm absolutely fine with how
the Pacers are reacting to this two minute call, the
two minute report coming off this because again, just like
game just like Game two with the Knicks, and the Sixers.
It's one call that was missed. Yes, it would have
been an advantage for the other team, But did it
(11:33):
mean they were going to win.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
No.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
And just because the team says, oh, we would have
won if you had just add that call, doesn't make
it right. Doesn't make that correct.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yeah, I know the argument about it is again, let's
let's look at replay as a whole.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Uh. And whether the.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
You know, we talk about the bizarre or whatever, the
grand Pooba for the NFL that we always want sitting
up top and directing traffic, then maybe the NBA needs
the same of the you screwed that up right, you know,
and it's a dead ball, so we can review it,
and no team should have to worry about a challenge
or whatever because you know what, you got this wrong.
(12:09):
We could have that discussion, but complaining about the final
forty seconds of a game playing out off of that
call or whatever was fifty two seconds at that point.
Play defense, yeah, play defense, make a play, And I agree, like,
obviously much different when we start backtracking, you know, five
minutes earlier or whatever. We got a lot of possessions,
(12:30):
a lot of time, a lot a lot of different
movements that go to it in the final minute.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
It's exacerbated, and you have the dopey two minute review
and report that comes out that people can burn or
whatever to get their frustrations out. But it ain't changing
anything and it never will. And by letter of the law,
at twelve seconds, guess what Miles Turner had?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
A moving screen? Was it a soft moving screen? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I think we can all agree to that that you've
let that play go probably forty times over the course
the game. Hell, in the in the Western Conference, you
certainly saw it time and again, guys getting thrown all
over the place of looking for calls, which is part
of the reason Jamal Murray started just throwing stuff at people.
But it was just you know, if you call it
in that moment, letter of the law, that's the foul. Sorry,
(13:17):
it was inside the final minute.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yeah, I look, there's a ton of game, all right,
it's fifty two seconds left. How many more possessions are there?
How many more shots, how many more back and forth
are there? But like, oh, yeah, that call, I get it.
They missed the call. And you know, I'm being truthful
because what happened when the Knicks got screwed at the
end of game At the end of game five, what
did I say, Hey, yeah, Josh Hart was not out
of bound, should have been in bounds, so other foul
should have been called that didn't get called. You know what, Yeah,
(13:40):
we didn't make plays. We blew the game, right, I
didn't complain about the officiating then, and for come den
down to one call that's missed the last minute. Yes,
it is too bad. It would have given the Pacers
the ball. But stop thinking and acting like the game
was over. Like we would have gone in for a dunk,
then what would happened. We would have stle the inbound
pass and what then we would have dunked again? Then
what would have happened? Just tole the inbound pass again
(14:01):
and then what happened to be a dunked again? I mean,
that's what the Pacers want you to think, like, oh,
fifty two cent games over games over at that point,
and that's just stupid.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
You know, the Pacers have scored eight points in seven
seconds before, right.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
You know, Frostburg, you know you know I can key
your car eight times seven seconds. I can do it, Frostburg.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
You know, it's a very special anniversary in the NBA today.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
Oh, it's a huge one, Mike, and you know what,
we're gonna do it next.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
No, we don't have any we don't have the audio.
We don't have the audio for really. Yeah, it's been
scrubbed out of the system. I'm sorry, we don't have it.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Oh, not only do we have it. No, it's an HD.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
No we don't.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Oh wow. Oh you know what.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
No, you'll wear it next. It's no. No, you know what.
It's good that we're going to talk about this because
I'm going to tell you how overrated the guy involved
in this, his entire career was, and he owes his
entire stardom to this play against the Knicks. Okay, we'll
get to that. Yeah, I'm glad we're gonna do this. Oh,
I'm glad we're gonna do this. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
If you have hated in your heart, let it out.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I'm just I'm just wow, dude, I'm just being realistic here, body.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
You have worn this for nearly thirty years, that's been
gestating New York Go, New Yorky air their concession.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Now, good lord, I.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Know I hold up the choke sign to him, Michael, No, no, no,
we'll get we'll get to that coming up net.

Rag dot Com Studios, Oklahoma City, Leeds, Dallas, thirty six
thirty three, seven minutes to go on the second quarter. Yes,
we could be on the verge of potentially seeing a
t Wolves thunder Western Conference Finals, just like we all
(16:18):
drew it up the two teams. Nobody had any confidence
in the top two teams. Oh, the Nuggets will beat that,
they'll beat that, They'll be no were It looks like
we might wind up getting the Thunder and the.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
T Wolves, those upstart te Wolves came out swinging.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Get ready, all right, that's the first round of a
boxing match that you got your ass kicked. You got
back to the corner of the bell rang to save
you and you said, what the hell aire we doing
out there? Either that or you get on the you know,
get in the middle of the ring and start yelling
at the referee like you're Michael Malone.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Get red Anthony Edwards and Shi Gildess. Alexander. It's the
new it's gonna be the new NBA rivalry. Everybody's wondering
who it's going to be. New rivals Zion and Jada. Nope,
get ready for Anthony Edward and Shot Gill. Just Alexander
because if they if they face off, it's happening. It's
absolutely happening.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Chet gets to be the corner man.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Oh yeah, yeah, Chet's got a role. I mean, but
he's like he's a supporting role. But I mean, because
Check's too interesting. But That's the best part is that
usually the best supporting actor best supporting actress is the
most enjoyable when they're nominated, they're the most enjoyable part
of the movie. So okay, like you can enjoy Chet,
but hey, you know, clear, let's realize the rivalry and
the MVP guys are SGA and Aunt Edwards. Let me
come on that.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Yeah, And normally I look at the post and said,
they put the wrong guy up there, just because that
was the guy that got the bigger check to sign on.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
That guy can't act.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Chet will be He's just a pretty boy. Chet will
be just fine.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Now we are, of course. And now I'm gonna stress
free day right here, because you know, no Knicks Pacers
Game two until tomorrow. It's all my stresses for the
Rangers and the Hurricanes. Hurricanes tied three to three midway
through the first overtime.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
So it's a.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Stress free day, and it's a good day to break
down a guy that's going to take center stage over
the next twenty four hours, and that's Reggie Miller. All right.
TNT broadcaster, longtime TNT broadcaster, NBA superstar made some big
headlines ahead of game too, but first, let's commemorate. I
don't want to say celebrate. Let's commemorate the twenty ninth
(18:15):
anniversary of this Miller for.

With thirteen seconds of eting.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Reggie Miller made a free, stole the ball, race.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Behind the three point line and hit again.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Miller's gonna make that three stets the screen. He steps behind,

Greg Anthony stumbles.

For only the second time in sixteen games here at
the Garden, and against the New York Knicks, Indiana has
reached a high unbrid points they won the other time.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Maybe this will be the magic.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Number for them here as well.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Read Indiana's win a game one at Orlando last year,
nailed our Hicks too, No timeouts.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Him Anthony.
Speaker 8 (19:20):
Time, Oh NBA radio, A young Bill, listen to Bill
Walton talking so much clearer and conciser back in nineteen
ninety five.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Oh yes, yeah, Greg Any part of that play too,
another broadcaster of these playoffs.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yes, the anniversary of Reggie Miller's fourteen points in three
seconds against the Knicks and ninety five playoffs. It turned
a ten point defosit into a twenty point win for Indiana. Yes, yes, yes, yes,
happy anniversary. I still can't believe it. And I you know,
this is where Spike Lee has to own up and
go you motivated the guy. I mean, look, it's the
big mo of Reggie Miller's career.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
And you mean Cheryl's little brother.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Yeah, oh, you say that to his face, although he's
gonna forget about that after what I say about him
in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
So that's just a warm up.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Twenty nine year anniversary and Reggie Miller returns to the
scene of the crime tomorrow as he's broadcasting the game.
I had big deal. He's going to be back at MSG.
He's doing the game, he's very excited. Made an appearance
on The Dan Patrick Show and he talked about it
and very excited to come back to MSG. Embracing it,
embraces all of this, what's going on with the Knicks
(20:36):
and the Pacers who met six times in the playoffs,
in the nineties, like every year they met, they split
the series. The Knicks won three times, the Pacers won
three times. It was a lot of fun. And now
you got Reggie Miller getting set for tomorrow, and you
had a big, wide ranging interview with Dan Patrick talking
about many things about how oh hey, yeah, this was
great and I had this back and forth with Spike
Lee and I made up with Spike Lee and all
(20:57):
of this, And then he had a big warning.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Did he confirm her Tony whether he went to a
strip club? Nick Kramer?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Uh No, that was not part of the interview. I
think Dan left that uh.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Out that it was actually in it.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
But but here is Reggie Miller shouting out a warning
to Knicks fans for tomorrow, the moogie man is coming back.
Speaker 8 (21:19):
Starks will be there at at the game, like you
actually had a physical conference you and John Stark's okay,
I haven't seen Johnny boy in a lot, so he'll
be there.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
Trial Uh bring them all, Patrick, Do you think I
care about it?
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Any of them?
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Well, you're not going to mess with you? And you
you you're like Patrick, he's a good guy. You're gonna
mess with I could easily make a call and get something.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Like no chance Oakley's allowed in that game.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
He ain't even allowed in the arena.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Well, no, Youwing they'll allow and Oakley they won't.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
But you saw what he you know, you guys talked
about what Oakley said the other right, you know, saying
how Jalen Brunson is the best Nick since Clyde Fridge.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Yeah, yeah, Wait a minute, water, Hang on a second.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
So does he have beef with Patrick Ewing? We don't
know about, and he's just.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Trying to get his seats back. He's got beef with
a lot of people, I think. But here's the thing, Like, Okay,
I'm glad Reggie Miller is leaning into this and the
Boogeyman is coming back because it's fun. Right, Reggie Miller
has been fun and this whole thing with the Knicks
has been fun. But let's be realistic. Okay, Reggie Miller
was a fun player and he was a pretty good shooter,
but he is completely overrated for his career. Okay, whoa,
(22:34):
whoa Reggie Miller. Let me ask you this, yes or no?
Did Reggie Miller for his career average more or less
than twenty points a game?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Eighteen points? A game. Reggie Miller. Okay, Reggie Miller was
the sixteenth leading scorer of the nineties.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Hey, he's still in the top ten all time in
three point shots made. Yeah, that's what I've been told that.
You know, Steph Curry and those guys changed the game.
All of these guys would be eradicated.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Yeah, Reggie Miller scored twenty again. Yes, it's the nineties.
The NBA is a little bit different era, but it's.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Not like he was going a little bit different.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
You still saw Jordan score in thirty five a game.
You saw a lot of Yeah, but he was a
mute thirty five a game. Used again, the sixteenth best
scorer of the nine Bernard King, averaged more points per game.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Okay, they needed someone to score for the Knicks.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Reggie Miller's entire career was made by this run right
here with the Knicks. This little twelve points and two seconds.
That's his entire career. That's all anybody talks about with him.
That's the only shining moment he has. Was that moment.
That's it. That's the only thing he's got.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
A Hey, we all should strive for one shining moment.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
But we have this image of Reggie Miller saw, No,
Reggie Miller was a pretty good shooter. Was he great?
I know he was great. I think he was. He
was arrogant, he was cocky, and he cut through, and
he was a guy you paid attention to. He was polarizing, right,
which was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Right.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
You like guys who were polarizing and guys who weren't.
And Reggie, But Reggie Miller was not a guy that
lit up the scoreboard every single time out. He was
not that guy, right, He wasn't. And and you can
can you tell me anything else any other play from
his career other than what he did in the garden
with with the with Spike Lee and the three and
the eight points nine seconds, No, there's nothing else.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Football Hall of Fame. He's got two.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah, that's two. That's two. That but that's also two
championships that he has. Reggie Miller's got no championship.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
So there's that.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Yeah, well, okay, And and not for the Hoosiers under
poppy Nights.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Is entire or the fever alongside Caitlyn Clark.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
That's a whole other story. Again, his whole.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Career and his stardom and what he's been able to do.
All comes from that game, the rivalry with Spike Lee,
beating the Knicks in that game and being the guy
that scored the eight points and nine seconds. That's it.
That's Reggie Miller's entire career. It is amped up because
of that. It's not that Reggie Miller wasn't a good
play Reggie Miller was a good player. I'm not saying
he wasn't. But Reggie Miller wasn't. Oh my goodness, he
(25:01):
was Steph Curry back at He wasn't. He wasn't. He
was overrated. He owes the Knicks for everything he's got,
because everything he's got because this brought such a huge
level of stardom for him, and it's the only thing
that anybody talks about with him. Just understand that for
Reggie mirr a little bit, that that's that this play
is really his whole career. And you listen to him
on Dan Patrick, He's so excited. Oh yeah, I'll talk
(25:22):
about this. I don't care. Bring all the guy. It's
the greatest moment of my career. It was a playoff
game that we won in the middle of his series. Yes, great.
It was heartbreaking for the Knicks, and I still see
him stealing the ball and dribbling back out behind the three.
What are you doing dribbling back by the three point No,
because I can make it from there. Okay, great, I
can still see it. It was painful, it was awful.
But at the same time, that's it. That's the guy's career.
(25:43):
Of course he would he would do. He would do
appearances with the Knicks players and sign autographs for fifty bucks.
A shot of him making that or him yelling with
Spike Lee. That's his whole career. His whole stardom is
built off of that with the Knicks. So let's be
clear with Reggie Milker. He's basically Captain America for that moment.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
No, but that's just it. He's lived ren free in
your head for twenty nine years.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
So now just because you got Game one out of
the way and you stole the win, now now you're
all chesty and you're you're taking this guy's career, five
time All Stars being.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Look, it happened twenty nine years ago. It sucked. Yes,
it's part of nick lore, but it's not something I
think about a whole a whole bat I bet your
Reggie Miller thinks about it every single day. He wakes
up and probably hits play and says, computer, play my highlight,
and they play that highlight and he sees it. Hey,
I'm ready to attack the day, and he has coffee,
gets up and ready to go.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Man to that, I'm ready.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
I'm ready, dude, As I say all the time, if
you can find your wins in life, man, if that's
the thing that's going to motivate you to get through,
as long as you ain't hurting anybody else except the
feelings of Knicks fans, because I can tell I bet
you're still chapping your ass all these years later.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
He's dross. That's it.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
Every day wakes up, watches the high every.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Day, wakes up a reminder of how great I was
for that moment.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Alexa. Play Reggie mil Or eight points and nine seconds
against the next place, playing Reggie Miller eight points and
nine seconds once again for you, Reggie, good morning every
day at that you.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
Know what Reggie hows and no other NBA great house.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
What is that?
Speaker 6 (27:13):
Eight points and seven seconds?
Speaker 2 (27:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
I think Tyres Maxie might have done that in the
UH in game five and not like that. He might have, man,
but that no, but that's Reggie. I'm glad he's leaning
into it. It's his whole career. His whole career boils
down to that. That's that's what he's known for. That,
that's what it is. Okay, great, Outside of that, you
would say, Reggie Miller, Yeah, what do you remember from
his career. He's pretty good shooter. Yeah, yeah, he liked
(27:38):
to talk. Yeah, uh okay, but his numbers got to
be pretty good. Yeah. He was eighteen three and three
for his career. Uh yeah, it was a different era. Yeah,
but still you had a lot of guys scoring more
than twenty points a game, more than twenty two points
a game, which is more twenty one whatever he average
in the nineteen nineties. He had a lot of guys
doing that. I think mock Mon abdul Rauf scored more
(28:00):
points per game in the in the nineteen nineties, Reggi Miller,
and Reggie Miller was a shooting guard. Okay, just job
to score and that that's what he put up on
the board. I mean, come on, man, dude, his whole
career he owes everything to the next look at you.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
You got the artist formally known as Chris Jackson in.
Speaker 9 (28:15):
The show, he owes everything to be all right, let's
see between the eighty nine ninety season, ninety eight ninety
nine season, all right, start going through it, tough guy
as to because I see between that period he was two.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
For E's seventh you.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Are you're not. You're not looking at anything correct between.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Eighty nine ninety and ninety eight ninety nine. Hang out
dat mus.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I did it today. I got it right here, and
he is sixteenth. I'm like, he is sixteenth with points
per game in the nineteen nineties.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
That's interesting because I got him seventh.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
I think you're on something wrong.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Malone, Jordan Ewing, Robinson, Mitch Richmond, Hakeem Elaijuan and Reggie Miller.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
I think you're looking at one year.
Speaker 6 (28:57):
His computer's not plugged in.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
I think your computer's not plauged in.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Okay, Creed, I think you're ear Did you fact check him?
Frostburg normally I'm feder at the math part.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Dan him, you're on a wrong page. I don't know
what page you're on, but you're on a wrong Nay,
eighteen three and three is not really Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6 (29:13):
I don't no, it's the probe.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
It's it's that Natesmith Basketball Hall of Fame. If we
lobby hard enough, one of the three of us might
get in.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
But for those eight seconds, he's a Hall of Famer in.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
My eyes, it's an all time great that way. I'm
on nineteen ninety scoring leaders number one. It's goes Jordan Malone, O'Neill, Robinson, Ewing,
Elijah On, Iverson Wilkins, Mitch Richmond is on that. Like
I said, I give you Richmond, Barkley, King Bird, Duncan,
Raheem Robinson, Miller.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
And Jenna Jamisons all stop. But that's too soon sixteen
thousand plus, too soon, Too soon for you too.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Jason Smith Mike Harmon Live the Tirack dot Com Studios.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Coming up next.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
You want to know the Effectitlin Clark has already had
on the WNBA without playing a game. Wait'll we tell
you what happened today. That's next right here, Jason and
Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon, Live from the tire rag dot Com
Studios Rangers Hurricanes going to double overtime tied to three apiece. Meanwhile,
Mavericks and the Thunder also in a break at halftime,
the Thunder lead the Mavericks sixty two point fifty three.
(30:38):
The game was a back and forth struggle for a while,
but then the Thunder pull away at halftime. Here and
again we could be very close to a Thunder t
Wolves Western Conference Finals. Jai Gildess Alexander nineteen points in
twenty minutes, leading the way for Oklahoma City. But you
want to say, all Caitlin Clark, what kind of exam
(31:00):
an impact is she really gonna have in the WNBA.
What she got without even playing a game, She changed
the fortunes of the league today. Okay, right before she
played her first preseason game, right Indiana's play was her
first game, there was a viral video of her in
the airport as they were flying. You know, there were
(31:22):
Pete fans waiting for her at the game when she
played her first game when they played Dallas and there
were fans in the airport and it came up. Yeah,
a little weird because WNBA flies commercial. It's kind of weird.
Flying commercial. They've flown commercial since the beginning of time,
since the beginning of this league, they have flown commercial
beginning of the league. One viral video of Caitlin Clark
(31:45):
showing up and you see fans are right here, they
can walk right up to coming off players say, hey,
wait a minute, you know it's really not that safe.
We really should all be flying charter today. The story
breaks the WNBA will fly all their team's charter by
the within the next few months. I got to figure
out planes and figure out money. So they're they're getting
it going forward. But in the next few months now,
all the teams are gonna fly charter. So tell me
(32:07):
again how Caitlin Clark is not changing things and showing
up to the w NBA like she's magic and Larry
rolled into one. Just a viral video of her in
an airport. Hey, this is dangerous. Oh guess what she got.
She already got charter travel for everybody in the league. Okay,
just think about that. Yes, there's other players that are
that are important. You saw the the desire to watch
(32:29):
Angel Reese's first game because the person who was able
to stream it got like two hundred thousand views.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Yeah, how dumb was that? Because that that leads you
to a lot of question though.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Who the hell look? And that's the thing is and
that's the whole point about this is that, yes, the
number one is, look at what Caitlin Clark is already doing.
She got charter travel already because of one viral video.
Everybody should be behind her. There should be no backlash
because she's bringing this league into the twenty first century. Now,
the other, the other part of it is this is
(32:59):
that hey, and this is a big piece of advice,
like I gotta tell a WNBA and you guys gotta
stop looking minor league now, man, you gotta stop looking
minor league where where everything that comes up, it's like
it's like sports from that's either double A baseball, Right,
you can't have the two biggest headlines of opening week
with Caitlin Clark and Angel Rees playing where the biggest
(33:20):
two headlines are yes we still fly commercial and oh
no one could see the games on TV. Yeah, you
can see them on our app. But we didn't make
these games readily available to anyone when clearly there was
a market for it, and any one of a number
of national sports networks would have picked up Caitlin Clark's
first game, Angel Reese's first game. There's a market out
there for it. You can't look so minor league. And
(33:41):
that's the big that's the big concern I have is
that we're getting into the league. There's a lot of eyeballs.
People are gonna be watching these games. There's only another
game or two in the preseason before they wind up
kicking it off for real, and you have the Olympics
coming up this summer. You cannot look so minor league.
And right now I look at the WNBA and I go, Wow,
that's mine league. Wow, that's minor league. How do you
(34:03):
not work around the clock to fix this image right now?
Because that's my main concern.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
Well, because the thing you've seen since tickets went on sale,
since the draft, since the production of jerseys, and all
the estimate estimations of how long it's going to be
before those are actually fulfilled, all of that, you've just
seen this. This has grown quite quickly. And all the
veteran players, you saw the how quickly they got cameras
(34:29):
in their faces to get a reaction. Most of them
were kind of speechless because they don't want to owe
the success and this opportunity to the arrival of Caitlin
Clark and this rookie class.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
But here we are.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
They're estimating twenty five million a year for the security
and flights and whatever else, and the broadcast rights are
up next year.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
What else have we heard?
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Well, tickets go on sale and what happens They sell
out very quickly. In Los Angeles. Her first appearance here
is now going to be at Crypto right now, going
to be at the crypt Versus it was supposed to
be down I think, at the Pyramid.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
So it was gonna be what.
Speaker 6 (35:03):
Five hours next week, Mike, It'll be at the Rose Bull, could.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Be before it's all said, none, all of a sudden,
it's on an air aircraft carrier off the shore here.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
I don't know, but yeah, it's absolutely true.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Like we've seen city after city going, oh wow, the
demand's really there and we can sell at twenty thirty
bucks ahead plus concessions plus parking. Everybody's seeing the dollar signs.
They actually just need to sit in a room and
get the decision makers to be a little more forward
thinking as opposed to reactionary.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
I mean, you have to realize that now now is
the time to say, Okay, we have more eyeballs, honest
than any other time we've ever had. We got to
look like we know what we're doing. We gotta look
like we know how to run a major sport, because
right now the first two headlines are gotta know that
they do. Yeah, I don't know about that.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
It's a pretty good stream that that woman had from
mid court. I mean that was good.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
That was pretty Just hold the phone steady, hold it
steady so I can watch. Let me see those hearts,
Let me see those hearts. So I'm gonna turn the
feet off. Coming up next, we got another big story
out of the NFL. Somebody else's upset about Tom Brady's
roast Fox
