we did have a little bit ofa gut punch. It was a minor
(03:44):
one. But Marvin, God blessthem, one of the nicest human beings
that walks the earth, listens tothe show, asked us if we wanted
a couple hot dogs from Pinks.He said, what would you like on

We still ate them chips, thechips, we ate them cold, and
they were cold. We ate themcold. The chips were down. We
had to eat so in honor ofthat, your final hour fun fact.
In the Philippines they use banana ketchup. It's called Jufron Banana sauce as a
(04:25):
brand name. During World War Two, there was a shortage of tomatoes,
so manufacturers had to use bananas asa replacement to replicate ketchup. It is
mashed banana, sugar, vinegar,spices, and red dye that makes it
look and they say, for themost part, taste like tomato ketchup.
(04:45):
Well all right, well, youknow how you get like that fake ketchup
every once in a while. Youknow, you don't get a Hines or
a Hunts packet. It's some bootlegpacket. You're a little runny. This
isn't the same. This is highend, maybe just a little bit below
that. Baby. All right,Matt, here we go. Let's go.
(05:05):
Matt the centerpiece of the show today, turning our attention to basketball.
As the NBA Finals is finally gonnahappen in like forty eight hours and the
Lakers still haven't hired a head coachand the draft is coming up, it's
about time to interview one of themost successful basketball players of all time.
(05:30):
What did he do? Win championshipsand ball out, shoot the three and
dunk so hard? I remember youused to fly through the air for the
rockets like a sailboat. The Oneand only Robert Lorriy coming on courtesy of

(05:50):
Series at MVP odds, along withgame by game lines and props and joining
us on the Southern California Toyota Dealers. Pretty hotline. It is Spectrum Sports
Net's own Robert Norriy. What's cracking, Robert? How are you? Man?
I'm blessed. How's everything? Well, we're doing good and we're happy
(06:10):
to have you on. I mean, did you did you go on vacation
between the finals for the conference andnow the I mean, what a tough
deal. What are we doing?We're just waiting around talking about Brownie?
I know it right, I hada good time. I was able to
go home for my mom birthday.So I went to go hang out with
mom and and lose Alabama in abig city, you know, and just
(06:33):
enjoy it. Man, when Ihave to worry about, worry about getting
back and watching some games, orseeing who the Lakers going to hire as
a coach or seeing who they're goingto draft. So I'm excited now to
be back in the full of youknow, forty eight hours from now we
get to see some NBA basketball.Well, you know what, Robert,
since you brought it up, let'sjust stick with family. I know,
We've talked to you before, butwe just mentioned, you know, the
summer tour stop. We did thisparticular remote two years ago and Mick Cronin
(06:58):
was hired and he did not knowus. He got in the car,
he drove in Friday LA traffic fortwo and a half hours, hung out
with us, took photos with allthe people that were excited that he was
there, got back in a car, drove another two and a half hours
back to Westwood. That told ussomething about his character and started a great
relationship that we have with him.You're going to entrust your son to Mick
(07:19):
at what what is it about him? What is it about that program that
that you love? And what UCLAhas done? You know, you and
you talking about history, you know, and there's none other greater than the
UCLA Bath. But my son hasbeen a UCLA fan since he was a
little kid. In his eye becausemy wife, his mom, went to
(07:39):
USC She's a Trojan and so I'mlike, did you do this purposely to
piss off your mom? But yeah, he's going to UCLA. And I
think Cronan I like Corner because he'snot a reach around like most of these
coaches. They like to, youknow, give these players and reaches around.
They don't want to coach him.And from watching him and talking to
(08:00):
some of the big players, hecoaches his players. And that's the best
thing. You know, there's noneof this aau guy coming in or you
the best guy. I'm just gonnagive you the ball and gather the way.
You're gonna play this thing the rightway. You're gonna learn the game
in the right way. And sothat's why I intrusted Corner. I thought
Corner was a is a true coach, like old school style. How was
it hard for you to kind offigure out how to navigate the college sort
(08:24):
of world. I mean, itseems like it's a bit of a mess
right now. It's a huge mess, man, you think about it.
You know, I even got Iwanted him to go to Stanford cal Or,
you know, one of those schoolsthat's really known for the educational aspect,
even though U c la as tohis dream. And you know,
I talked to Mark mass and he'slike, Oh, we're holding tense scholarship
with portal kids. It's the dumbestthing. Now. They got to get
(08:46):
this portal thing under control. Theygot to do something to regulated. You
know, I'm cool with the nilI'm cool with that. But this portal
thing where kids are jumping from schoolto school because they're not happy with a
coach, they're not happy with theplants. They need to put some type
of stipulation on it. I knowit's easier said and done, because at
the end of the day, it'skilling these kids who really want to go
(09:07):
to a school and not for themoney. You know, you're killing these
kids like, hey, I wantto go to this school because either my
dad, when my mom there,the group loving and now these school's up.
You had to hold on because wegot with on these portal kids and
is just screwing up the system bigtime, no doubt about that. Robert
Rri always honest and very forthright aboutthe state of basketball for the youth and
youth on our show. We're verypleased to have him. Courtesy of bet
(09:31):
Online. Robert, let's talk aboutthe Laker coaching situation. It kind of
feels like right now, if theydidn't hire JJ Reddick, it would be
a massive kick six roll Tide styleupdate, you know, on everybody's sports
wire, because I mean no one, God, yeah, everybody thinks it's
(09:52):
going to be JJ Reddick. What'syour reaction going to be to that?
And and how much of a challengeis this job. This is a tough
job, and it's an extremely toughjob because you're only gonna be here two
to three years and then you're gonnabe gone. And that's that's how it
is. You know, just askLuke Walton, you know, and god
rest is soul Bill Walton. Butit's just weird, how you know.
(10:16):
You think about all the coaching movementthat's been going on in the past couple
of years throughout the league and alot of these and it's and I think
these gms need to, you knowthis, need to sit down and take
a look at themselves because it ain'tabout the coaches a lot of times,
it's about the players. And ifyou look at you look at the Lakers.
They had a great they had agood moment. They ran to a
(10:37):
team that had their number. Youthink about the last play where Torrin Prince
is trying to tell Ruy Hotche Murrayto get in the right spot. He
wasn't in the right spot. Thatain't the coaching staff, that's the players.
And I think you know, alot of people got mad at me
because I said, Darby ham istaking the blunt of this unrightfully soul because
it ain't. It wasn't him.It's like you, if I'm only you
(11:00):
to do something, you don't wantto do it. Now, if I'm
trying to draw up a player andthen one of the players takeing said we're
gonna run this and like, andthen you can't really say it in the
player because he has the GM andthe front office on his side. More
than that, you have the coacheson the side. And so there's a
lot of disconnect there with a lotof gms. And for me, when
you boil down and want to blamea coach, you know, I think
(11:20):
of, you know, please givea coach for seasons. Like if I'm
paying you for for semi seasons,then you're gonna you're gonna coach for four
seasons. And so for me,you think about it. Let's say it's
take the Lakers. Tell me howmany lineup changes have they had since the
Bubble Championship. You know, I'mnot blaming Rob Polinkett. I'm just saying
it's a lot of turnover there,and so you know, and and and
(11:43):
I noticed from playing with dynamic playerslike Dreams, Shack, Kobe, and
Tim you just can't take one seasonand learn how to play with those guys.
It takes maybe sometimes one to twoseasons to understand it. And that's
what you need when you play witha guy like Lebron James when it you
know, you mentioned it with Darvinand we were surprised. Guy was in
the conference finals two years ago.They won more games this regular season,
(12:07):
had a bunch of guys injured forthe majority of the years. It's kind
of weird that they decided to moveon from him. So, you know,
I don't care what all the talkingheads on the media network say about
how uninvolved Lebron James is with this. If JJ Reddick's the head coach and
Bronni James gets drafted with the fiftyfifth pick or who the hell knows,
maybe they would mean take him atseventeen for all we know at this point,
how what is it like in thatlocker room? Even if they say
(12:30):
no, he had nothing to dowith it. I mean, that's impossible
to separate him from those two decisions. Yeah, it's very very impossible,
you know. And the thing isthat guy's going to start looking around like
who's running? This is insane asylum? You know, is Lebron running it?
Is Ginny running? Is Rob running? Is you know, is Kurt
running it? Linda running? Youknow, you can go down the list
(12:52):
of people that are in the frontoffice has been at the longest and for
me, he needs somebody to comein there to say, go school yourself,
you know, and you gotta havesomeone with that kind of attitude,
like a player won't come to mein my front office. I'm gmn get
out of my office. I'm runningthis. You ain't. You know,
Okay, you're a big time player, but the Lakers is a franchise.
(13:13):
There's one championships before you got hereand probably gonna win champions after you leave
here. And so you got tohave that mindset where, you know,
you know, the Laker brand itselfcan run on his own, not because
the star players say, hey,I want this got to be traded for,
I want this, got to bedrafted, because at the end of
the day, you need to dowhat's best for the team that was best
for a player. Robert Ori hasmore championships than most NBA franchises, with
(13:37):
seven and a huge part of sevenchampionship teams, and you know how teams
are structured and how they work whenthey have success. And we talked about
your son and how his journey's starting. This Brownni stuff is really amazing because
you know, we saw him hereat usc we saw him in high school
(13:58):
at Sierra Canyon, and now he'sa topic on all these morning shows and
all this stuff. This week it'sCaitlyn Clark, but before that it's been
Bronnie, Bronnie, Bronnie. Whatdo you think is gonna happen? And
why do I mean there's a lotof guys, Scottie Pippen, yoursell.
I mean, there's a lot ofguys that have that have kids that are
(14:18):
playing basketball. Why why did itbecome such a big deal in this case?
I think because of his dad.Brownie has been the spotlight for a
long long time. You know,you think about Siah King. They have
a documentar they had, you know, film Cup followed them for two years
until you know, they got youknow, run out of the gym by
(14:39):
certain teams, and you know theydidn't win the state championship. So for
me, I think he's been inthe spotlight for so long and then he
goes right down the sheet with usceven before he even played the game,
he got in the spotlight because hehad, you know, the heart thing.
So I think, you know,for me, you look at him,
you know, now he's supposed tobe sixty he's only six to one.
(15:00):
I said, hell, I couldtell you that because my son told
him my son is sixty three.You know, it's so many things that's
put him in the spot like andyou know, the guy got talent.
I think he just needs to cultivatea little bit more. Does he want
to do that on the college bellor to pull up? Because I definitely
think he's going to get drafted inthe first round just because this draft is
you know, not that not thatI don't want to say, I don't
(15:22):
want to say it's weak, butI'm just saying it's just not that,
you know, no outstanding players inthis draft where he said, oh,
he's a clear cut number one andnumber two big. So I think you
get drafted just for the sake thatsomeone says, well we get him,
maybe get Lebron and come to ourteam and we put more seasons and my
butts and seats no doubt, especiallythey send him down to the G League
team. I mean, you know, I've sold out Ger League arena for
(15:43):
the first time. You know,Petro's mentioned it. Robert the seven championships,
and you did it for for three. You know, likely Hall of
Fame coaches, if not already inthe Hall of Fame, you know,
and Rudy t and Phil Jackson andGreg Popovich. Is there there's something that
is there a thread that runs throughyou know with each of those guys.
Is there something to a championship calibercoach and what it takes to guide players
(16:08):
to the ultimate goal? I thinkrespect, You know, you look down
the line, I mean the playersof respect Hi, because he's played,
he's been there, he's done that, and you get the field he's played,
He's coached the best player to playthe game with Michael Jordan, and
you get the pop You know,he just had to He had the right
He's in the right place to distanceguys. You had David Robinson, you
(16:30):
know, military guy Tim Duncan.You know, he's just a guy who's
going to follow, you know,wherever you need him to go. He's
just that type of guy you're feedingthe information he's a computer. He goes
out and do it. And Ithink for me, you have these coaches
that had the right players at theright time, in the right system,
and and all of them are greatcoaches. But it boils down in respect.
(16:52):
If you don't respect the guy who'scoaching you, you're not gonna do
what you told because you don't believein him. And that's that's the bottom
line. You need to find somemoney who's respected by the players and they
can follow you what the coach tailshim to do. We respect Tori and
we appreciate having him on courtesy ofbet Online, Robert, because of the
because of the sponsor, give usa finals pick, tell us what you
(17:15):

six, I'm not taking him asa m VP. I'm gonna go with

it hard for you to kind offigure out how to navigate the college sort
(08:24):
of world. I mean, itseems like it's a bit of a mess
right now. It's a huge mess, man, you think about it.
You know, I even got Iwanted him to go to Stanford cal Or,
you know, one of those schoolsthat's really known for the educational aspect,
even though U c la as tohis dream. And you know,
I talked to Mark mass and he'slike, Oh, we're holding tense scholarship
with portal kids. It's the dumbestthing. Now. They got to get
(08:46):
this portal thing under control. Theygot to do something to regulated. You
know, I'm cool with the nilI'm cool with that. But this portal
thing where kids are jumping from schoolto school because they're not happy with a
coach, they're not happy with theplants. They need to put some type
of stipulation on it. I knowit's easier said and done, because at
the end of the day, it'skilling these kids who really want to go
(09:07):
to a school and not for themoney. You know, you're killing these
kids like, hey, I wantto go to this school because either my
dad, when my mom there,the group loving and now these school's up.
You had to hold on because wegot with on these portal kids and
is just screwing up the system bigtime, no doubt about that. Robert
Rri always honest and very forthright aboutthe state of basketball for the youth and
youth on our show. We're verypleased to have him. Courtesy of bet
(09:31):
Online. Robert, let's talk aboutthe Laker coaching situation. It kind of
feels like right now, if theydidn't hire JJ Reddick, it would be
a massive kick six roll Tide styleupdate, you know, on everybody's sports
wire, because I mean no one, God, yeah, everybody thinks it's
(09:52):
going to be JJ Reddick. What'syour reaction going to be to that?
And and how much of a challengeis this job. This is a tough
job, and it's an extremely toughjob because you're only gonna be here two
to three years and then you're gonnabe gone. And that's that's how it
is. You know, just askLuke Walton, you know, and god
rest is soul Bill Walton. Butit's just weird, how you know.
(10:16):
You think about all the coaching movementthat's been going on in the past couple
of years throughout the league and alot of these and it's and I think
these gms need to, you knowthis, need to sit down and take
a look at themselves because it ain'tabout the coaches a lot of times,
it's about the players. And ifyou look at you look at the Lakers.
They had a great they had agood moment. They ran to a
(10:37):
team that had their number. Youthink about the last play where Torrin Prince
is trying to tell Ruy Hotche Murrayto get in the right spot. He
wasn't in the right spot. Thatain't the coaching staff, that's the players.
And I think you know, alot of people got mad at me
because I said, Darby ham istaking the blunt of this unrightfully soul because
it ain't. It wasn't him.It's like you, if I'm only you
(11:00):
to do something, you don't wantto do it. Now, if I'm
trying to draw up a player andthen one of the players takeing said we're
gonna run this and like, andthen you can't really say it in the
player because he has the GM andthe front office on his side. More
than that, you have the coacheson the side. And so there's a
lot of disconnect there with a lotof gms. And for me, when
you boil down and want to blamea coach, you know, I think
(11:20):
of, you know, please givea coach for seasons. Like if I'm
paying you for for semi seasons,then you're gonna you're gonna coach for four
seasons. And so for me,you think about it. Let's say it's
take the Lakers. Tell me howmany lineup changes have they had since the
Bubble Championship. You know, I'mnot blaming Rob Polinkett. I'm just saying
it's a lot of turnover there,and so you know, and and and
(11:43):
I noticed from playing with dynamic playerslike Dreams, Shack, Kobe, and
Tim you just can't take one seasonand learn how to play with those guys.
It takes maybe sometimes one to twoseasons to understand it. And that's
what you need when you play witha guy like Lebron James when it you
know, you mentioned it with Darvinand we were surprised. Guy was in
the conference finals two years ago.They won more games this regular season,
(12:07):
had a bunch of guys injured forthe majority of the years. It's kind
of weird that they decided to moveon from him. So, you know,
I don't care what all the talkingheads on the media network say about
how uninvolved Lebron James is with this. If JJ Reddick's the head coach and
Bronni James gets drafted with the fiftyfifth pick or who the hell knows,
maybe they would mean take him atseventeen for all we know at this point,
how what is it like in thatlocker room? Even if they say
(12:30):
no, he had nothing to dowith it. I mean, that's impossible
to separate him from those two decisions. Yeah, it's very very impossible,
you know. And the thing isthat guy's going to start looking around like
who's running? This is insane asylum? You know, is Lebron running it?
Is Ginny running? Is Rob running? Is you know, is Kurt
running it? Linda running? Youknow, you can go down the list
(12:52):
of people that are in the frontoffice has been at the longest and for
me, he needs somebody to comein there to say, go school yourself,
you know, and you gotta havesomeone with that kind of attitude,
like a player won't come to mein my front office. I'm gmn get
out of my office. I'm runningthis. You ain't. You know,
Okay, you're a big time player, but the Lakers is a franchise.
(13:13):
There's one championships before you got hereand probably gonna win champions after you leave
here. And so you got tohave that mindset where, you know,
you know, the Laker brand itselfcan run on his own, not because
the star players say, hey,I want this got to be traded for,
I want this, got to bedrafted, because at the end of
the day, you need to dowhat's best for the team that was best
for a player. Robert Ori hasmore championships than most NBA franchises, with
(13:37):
seven and a huge part of sevenchampionship teams, and you know how teams
are structured and how they work whenthey have success. And we talked about
your son and how his journey's starting. This Brownni stuff is really amazing because
you know, we saw him hereat usc we saw him in high school
(13:58):
at Sierra Canyon, and now he'sa topic on all these morning shows and
all this stuff. This week it'sCaitlyn Clark, but before that it's been
Bronnie, Bronnie, Bronnie. Whatdo you think is gonna happen? And
why do I mean there's a lotof guys, Scottie Pippen, yoursell.
I mean, there's a lot ofguys that have that have kids that are
(14:18):
playing basketball. Why why did itbecome such a big deal in this case?
I think because of his dad.Brownie has been the spotlight for a
long long time. You know,you think about Siah King. They have
a documentar they had, you know, film Cup followed them for two years
until you know, they got youknow, run out of the gym by
(14:39):
certain teams, and you know theydidn't win the state championship. So for
me, I think he's been inthe spotlight for so long and then he
goes right down the sheet with usceven before he even played the game,
he got in the spotlight because hehad, you know, the heart thing.
So I think, you know,for me, you look at him,
you know, now he's supposed tobe sixty he's only six to one.
(15:00):
I said, hell, I couldtell you that because my son told
him my son is sixty three.You know, it's so many things that's
put him in the spot like andyou know, the guy got talent.
I think he just needs to cultivatea little bit more. Does he want
to do that on the college bellor to pull up? Because I definitely
think he's going to get drafted inthe first round just because this draft is
you know, not that not thatI don't want to say, I don't
(15:22):
want to say it's weak, butI'm just saying it's just not that,
you know, no outstanding players inthis draft where he said, oh,
he's a clear cut number one andnumber two big. So I think you
get drafted just for the sake thatsomeone says, well we get him,
maybe get Lebron and come to ourteam and we put more seasons and my
butts and seats no doubt, especiallythey send him down to the G League
team. I mean, you know, I've sold out Ger League arena for
(15:43):
the first time. You know,Petro's mentioned it. Robert the seven championships,
and you did it for for three. You know, likely Hall of
Fame coaches, if not already inthe Hall of Fame, you know,
and Rudy t and Phil Jackson andGreg Popovich. Is there there's something that
is there a thread that runs throughyou know with each of those guys.
Is there something to a championship calibercoach and what it takes to guide players
(16:08):
to the ultimate goal? I thinkrespect, You know, you look down
the line, I mean the playersof respect Hi, because he's played,
he's been there, he's done that, and you get the field he's played,
He's coached the best player to playthe game with Michael Jordan, and
you get the pop You know,he just had to He had the right
He's in the right place to distanceguys. You had David Robinson, you
(16:30):
know, military guy Tim Duncan.You know, he's just a guy who's
going to follow, you know,wherever you need him to go. He's
just that type of guy you're feedingthe information he's a computer. He goes
out and do it. And Ithink for me, you have these coaches
that had the right players at theright time, in the right system,
and and all of them are greatcoaches. But it boils down in respect.
(16:52):
If you don't respect the guy who'scoaching you, you're not gonna do
what you told because you don't believein him. And that's that's the bottom
line. You need to find somemoney who's respected by the players and they
can follow you what the coach tailshim to do. We respect Tori and
we appreciate having him on courtesy ofbet Online, Robert, because of the
because of the sponsor, give usa finals pick, tell us what you
