Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back to Eve's Sports Radio, Tuesday, May the thirteenth,
twenty twenty five. This is Eve Sports Radio. I am
the brand. My phone number is five zero two five
seventy nine hundred. That's five zero two, five seven one
seventy nine hundred, Sports Talk seven ninety KRD. We've got

(00:22):
Shannon behind the glass. We've got a nice day outside,
not as much rain falling, so we're going to get
some more today, but not this morning, So have a
safe trip in and enjoy the show. So here's first
and foremost, let's introduce Anthony. Anthony, welcome to the show.
How are you now?

Speaker 2 (00:38):
I'm doing the novel this morning?

Speaker 1 (00:39):
How are you? And now? I told you when you're
sixty six, I'm good. I'm being heard, not viewed. It's
a good thing telling you toiletitia road goes fast when
you get old. You just don't understand it. You'll see
you creep through your twenties, Anthony. You walk through your thirties,

(00:59):
you job through your forties, you speed jock through your fifties.
When you hit your sixties and seventies, you're sprinting to
the end. That's not a good thing, but that's the
way it goes, Anthony. That's the way life is. That
is the way it is. So anyway, I'm on that
fast track. I'm trying to slow down Anthony, but it
just doesn't happen. So enjoy every day is all I

(01:21):
can tell people. It is a good deal. Now, Anthony,
here's the deal. We couldn't get it on yesterday. I
didn't know how to send it properly, so I had
my minister, my boss was Gwyn Blackburn, hook it up
and send it to Shannon. I want everybody to let
me set the stage. Saturday, my oldest son gets married.

(01:41):
Happy day, great day, I'm telling you, it was a
beautiful day. And he happens to look at his younger
brother and say, hey, I need somebody to do the toast.
I'm glad he didn't ask me. He asked Anthony five
minutes before, Hey you want to do the toast? Anthony?
He's like sure. So I want everyone to see and
hear what Anthony did. Nothing ready written, no cards, no telephone,

(02:06):
just live shedding. Everybody listened to the toast that Anthony
gave to his older brother. It was tremendous.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
When I was only here for about a year, Frank
was here for a few months, so we had no
friends outside of you know, Braxton and Adrian. Obviously, Mike
put his handle back there. But we had went to
a walk front and I said, when my brother I
was just walking around, I think it was cool. We've
never been in this before. We didn't have in North Carolina.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
And we were.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
Walking around and we were standing there and Frank tasks me.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
He was like this girl, mind he is so beautiful.
And I was on me. I'm like, whoa. He was like,
shut up, I'm too. I don't know. So I said,
what's the cool day? I say something to us soil
once in the lightetime opportunity, you may never see her again.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
He's like, no, no, no, And I was like, what
the hell was that.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
I tried to push him into it.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
I didn't even do my pushups, pushed him and he
didn't move by the inch I said.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
I said, okay, I'm on the week.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Who I mean, I have a little skin so for
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
I don't ut'm muscle. But anyways, he standing in his ground.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
I said, I wish I was strong.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
I might have hooked him up with something greatness.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Anyway, as we went out through the entire night. As
we're walking back to the car, We're walking down the.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
River front and he looked back and Macy was behind us.
I said, oh, look at God. I said, first time
didn't work. Second time this is timely the money.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
I was like, well, brother, this is the time to shine.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
So they start kicking it off talking you know me.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
I was kind of leisurely walking in the back.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
They end up kicking it off.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
He got his number, hung out. The next day we
actually all went on a movie day.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Fun fact.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
On the movie day, our car broke down on the
corner a lot.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
We had a call Macy back.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
The team goes home, back.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
And off there the car start.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
I just gotta be the most embarrassing his first game.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
And then I was like, whoa.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
She came back and picked us up. I was like,
hopefully that's not a bad sign.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
It might be the last.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
And all I can say from that is that the
rest want to welcome you to the family, blessed to
have you, and then everyone else will come in and
I want to get them a toast everyone who raised
the Drakes for I won't get a toast to the
love of the stars and myself.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Anthony, what a wonderful job. I was dying. I mean
I was laughing, especially when the car broke down and
they explained to people how the car broke down. What
y'all did two hours before that? The rain your battery down?
What happened?

Speaker 2 (04:43):
We might have been listening to music a little too
loud in the back seat, but you know, Frank had
those aftermarket subs in there, so we were sitting there.
He didn't have a car on. We just had it
in like the auxiliary mode, so only like the battery
was running, and we had it on like full blast,
and that drained the battery. It was like an the
two thousand and four Honda Courts, so that the car
was already kind of old as it was, and you know,

(05:05):
we didn't really think that all the way through. So
we're sitting there trying to show off in the car,
playing music, and it's time to go home. We couldn't
start the car. We were like, we're like, we're like
when we killed the battery. I was like, and they
and Macy and her friend had just left. I was like, well,
it's like midnight. I was like possing them in front
of receleeve he's gonna be pissed if we call him.
I was like, man, we might have all Macy coming back.

(05:28):
So we end up calling back, and they came back
and got us, and I think the next day we
ended up just getting it taken over because we were
right around the corner from the from the Audi dealership.
We were at like the AMC movie theater in Saint Matthew's.
So I think we had one of the cansters come
over and just swap out a new battery for us
the next day and the car was fine.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Mm hmmm, yeah, great job, Anthony. Great day though for
these family Saturday. Welcome Macy to the family. So anyway, now, Anthony, look,
let me just tell you all each sports radio, I
usually keep it straight. Most of the time. I try
to keep it straight. So we've had all kinds of controversy,

(06:08):
and we've gone through different things. I've talked about your door.
I knew that some of his antics with hurt him.
I said that before the draft. I didn't think it
would go to the fifth round, but I knew because
I just know that certain things were going to affect
and bother ownership groups. I got you, but I just
want to read you all something because I want you

(06:29):
all to understand, because you've got a lot of people
that will live on that cliff, that everything's fair and equal.
And I'm not saying that you can't get it done,
but everything's not fair and equal. I'm going to give
you another example. I want you to listen to me close.
Bill Belichick six times super Bowl champions, six times, my book,

(06:52):
one of the greatest, if not the greatest NFL coach ever.
Got me. Ever, I still like John Wooden's teams. I
still like the Boston Celtics, what they accomplished. I like
those guys. But still, he's one of the goats of
the business. And he accepts a college job, not a

(07:17):
pro job, not with adults. Men that even if they're
not adults, I consider them adults, and you treat them
like adults. I did this for seven years. So what
does that mean? That means Anthony Mason gets out of
jail in New York we're playing the Knicks when we're

(07:37):
with Charlotte. He comes straight from jail to the game,
jumps over the chairs, puts his shoes on Paul's Alice,
puts him in the game, looks directly at me and says,
how long do you think I'm gonna play him? I'm
sitting there going bright eyed, bushy tailed. I don't know
but a minute. Then you're gonna pull him, he said,
I'm gonna play him the whole day and game. I
hope I can kill him out there, and played him

(07:58):
every minute of the forty eight minute game. I think
he played forty six. But that's professional not college. We
heard about all the hype that comes along with Shador Sanders,
Deon Sanders, all the hype, all the madness. You got me.

(08:21):
We have got North Carolina University that has a twenty
four year old young lady running around with go go
boots on the football field with young men impressionable seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty,
twenty one, twenty two, I'm gonna be legitimate twenty three,
twenty four, twenty five, twenty six. Yeah, they're oldest can

(08:42):
be now, but still they're in college. They're supposed to
be impressionable. You got me the facto publicist. Let me
give you her title again, the facto publicist Jordane Hudson
for the six time Super Bowl coach. I have no

(09:02):
problem with the publicist and the office, publicist in his office,
publicist in her office. But we're talking about around young men.
It's a zoo. You all know it's a zoo. But
nobody's gonna say anything. Nobody's gonna have the real, real
guts to call in with the vigor that they did
on your door and talk about what's happening right now

(09:23):
with Bill Belichick North Carolina. It is a zoo, a
complete zoo. I hope he wins a lot of games
for you all, Oh hope. Nothing equates in there's no guarantees.
Got me, Nick Saban did go to the NFL. There
are no guarantees he didn't win there. It doesn't mean
that Bill Belichick's gonna win in college. It doesn't mean
that it doesn't equate that way. It doesn't. But it's

(09:47):
a complete, total zoo around seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty twenty one,
twenty two year old men. You have people doing interviews
and you have her interview interrupting CBS Morning Interviews, Coach Belichek.
She's the publicist. Guys, he's plus seventies, she's twenty four

(10:11):
years old. But nobody's gonna say this is a clown show.
It is, without a doubt a clown show. Nobody's gonna
stand up, They're gonna speak and start to ask North
Carolina where they hired him and paid him ten million.
I have no problem. He's accomplished, he has earned all
ten he has a very good coach. Don't anybody say

(10:34):
about athletes getting paid though, Please don't talk to me
about that. Don't talk to me about the athletes getting paid.
The last guy's on the totem pole to draw a
dollar gets more irony than you know, ten million, thirteen
million dollar coaches. That's okay though, that's all right. I'm
fine with that. I told you I did make three
hundred plus thousand dollars a year coaching in the NBA.
My picture should be in every post office in America.

(10:57):
I'm not gonna be a hypocrite. I told you all,
I've stole more money into law a louse. But at
the same time, you've never hurt me say athletes should
not be paid. And for everyone that ran around saying that, hey, hey,
hey Dion did it to Shador, well, why didn't it
happen to Bill Belichick? This is a real zoo. This

(11:18):
is not what university should represent. My opinion. We all
have opinions just like we have You know what, we
all have one. Since I have a radio show, mine
counts I get to say it publicly. But I'm just
putting it out there for you all. I'm putting it
out for my listeners to evaluate. Put your door Sanders

(11:39):
in one hand and evaluate all the things. The young
man interviewed bad. The young man I was arrogant. The
young man had a three plus GPA. Young man went
to every class. Young man sat in front of every class,
So did every Colorado player. Yes, that's fact. That's fact.
Hear that best gbat I ever had football team. You

(12:01):
don't want to hear that. We just want to hear
the negative things. Young kid wore too much gold chain,
has too much blame. Who didn't When you have too
much money too early? Yes, it happens, period point blank.
Most of us have never been in that situation, so
we don't know how we would act. But we're so
quick to judge. But now I got a seventy year

(12:23):
old man that I know that wouldn't speak to the
media in the NFL. You got me, wouldn't give you
the time of day, got me, no problem, he is
a goat, six time super Bowl champ, he was a winner.
Everybody knows that I'm not a Brady fan. He is
the goat. I'm just not a Brady fan because he's
the best. Now, because I have anything against you, he is.

(12:45):
Tom Brady is the goat. He is the best six
round pick. He is the best quarterback to ever play
the game, period, point blank. But I'm saying I don't
like him. I'm just playing around. I say to my friends,
I don't like he is, without a doubt, undisputably the best.

(13:06):
But this situation right here at North Carolina University is
a clown show, a true clown show. So what happens
when the player brings his girlfriend in the locker room
on the football field? What can't do it? Huh? What
we got standards? Now we're gonna hear about it. He's

(13:27):
too boisterous. What are we gonna hear? What are they
gonna say? And what is the media and a lot
of the people's social media, which we know is a
true clown show, when they jump on it. Oh, it's
just can't believe he's gotta be humble. Come on, So, guys,

(13:47):
I just wanted to again express my opinion. I'm sure
social media people will reach out. You know they do that.
The phone number here in this show is five oh
two five nine. That's the great thing. You don't have
to agree with, Jerry Eve. You will never be disrespected
on my show. If you don't save four letter words

(14:11):
and inappropriate calling people out of their names, people will
hear your opinion. So this is mine. I want to
hear another word about your Doris Sanders, not one word,
if you won't speak out on this zoo, this clown show,
this university that pays ten million dollars who just put

(14:34):
out I try to stay away from it. Once, y'all
understand I try to stay away from it. Don't think
that I didn't know. It's been out forever, guys, It's
been out forever. But if you go to your ESPN
on your computer, you click on college NCAA football, Got
me NCAA football, and you start to scroll, you'll find

(14:57):
out to where North Carolina says Belichick's girlfriend, welcome at school.
That's today. I wrote this to myself last week. I
didn't touch it. I thought I tried to stay away
from it. Sometimes I'm like, nah, don't tell them the
truth and don't show them the truth. I said, I'm
not gonna touch it. So when it broke last week

(15:19):
and really ten days ago, I didn't touch it. So
don't jump up and down and said jerrys was waiting.
But when I picked and turned my computer on this
morning and read you NC says Bill Belichick's girl still
welcome at school, and started to read to you all
this defacto publicist. Come on. But North Carolina made it

(15:45):
clear her role as Belichick's the facto publicist has not
been impacted for her access to the football program. Get
out of here, guys, give me a break, Get out
of here. Well, I was talking about earning things, being
qualified for things at twenty four years old. Get out
of here. A clown show, that's all. I just wanted

(16:09):
to let you all know that this goes on all
the time, but people really don't want to step to
the forefront and just say why. I don't know, I
have no idea, but I know that Bill Belichick of old,
if a player brought this kind of termoil to his program,
he would have dealt with it. That's a fact. So guys,

(16:30):
we're gonna get to break at seven, twenty one when
we come back. Like I told you all again, five
zero two, five seven, one seventy nine hundred. If you disagree,
let me know, no problem. But I just want you
to state your case and tell everybody why Shannon take

(16:51):
us away. We'll be back in a minute.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
Welcome back to the sports radio seven twenty five. When
numbers five year O two five seven one nine hundred, Anthony,
I'm gonna throw it to you. NBA's in full swing. Well,
we've got interesting games, first round games. I enjoy second
round games that frustrated me. I'm I mean, I like

(17:14):
watching them. They're good games, but they have frustrated me.
The coaching has really frustrated me.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
So let's bring everybody up to date with what happened
last night. I know people did not. I could not.
I expired before the end of the Golden State game. Guys,
I just can't stay up dead late. Yes, I expired.
My time ran out. I was Cinderella, the slippers fell off,
and I went to bed. So anyway, Anthony, what happened
last night?

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Yeah, obviously that late night game, though Timbwolves did take
care of the Warriors one seventeen to one without Steph
Curry just not looking like a probable chance that they'll
win that series. Obviously, I have no ninety five percent
chance that Timberwolves will be going on to the Western
Conference Finals. But on the Eastern side, I want you
to put in your two about the Celtics, because I

(18:01):
know you love talking about the Celtics. Last night, I
think I heard it for about two and a half
hours straight. They did lose that fight thirteen. But the
player style, I think is what irks you the most.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
It drove me crazy. Joe Mozillo Missoulo, he has won
a world championship. The Celtics have that team has. Tatum
is a great player. Brown was the MVP. I was
talking to a friend of mine yesterday. Brown was the
MVP last year. But Tatum is a great player. And Guys,
I've done this business my whole life. I've seen that.
I would say ninety nine percent chance. He probably popped

(18:37):
his achilles. He is Jason Tatum, as we know. I'm
hoping not. But when you have those none contact go
down like that with that kind of pain, usually usually
it's an achilles injury. So they're so super good with
these things now that used to end Nate Archieball. He
ended his career with that, but they're so good with
it now. He will bounce back to a strength. Kevin Durant.

(19:00):
It's happened to numerous players. Kobe Bryant. I think he'll
bounce back, but I think, in my opinion, we don't
know until MRI is done today what's happened. But I
would say he probably popped his achilles or tour his
achilles partially. So we'll have to wait and see on that.
But guys, fans would like to watch basketball. And if

(19:21):
everyone remembers, everyone gave coach Crumb a hard time on
he didn't want to shoot the three pointer right away.
Even though people will never give coach Crumb the credit
for little Dewan Wheat, who I hired to be my
men's basketball coach, he was the three point shooting this
player you've ever seen from Ballot High School. People don't
want to give Coach Crumb credit for that. He's a

(19:43):
second leading scorer in Louisville history because Coach Crumb did
adopt they're a proper person at their proper time shooting
three pointers, not just we're all going to shoot them.
So they are world champions. The Celtics did. They have
accomplished that, so did Joe Miszoo. But last night's game,

(20:04):
I told Anthony from the first quarter, when Jason Tatum
was hitting the threes and putting all the fingers up
and all turning around walking back on defense, I said,
they will get caught at the end. And I told Anthony,
I just want you to watch this. I want you
to educate yourself. The Knicks play offensively below the free

(20:25):
throw line. They scored eighty percent of their baskets below
the free throw line, and the corner three is the
shortest three pointer in the game. They play below the
free throw line. The Boss Celtics have three people standing
above the three point line always even with seven foot

(20:46):
Porzingas seven foot four Perzingas, and dribble around to the
shot clocks almost expired and throw up a three. They're
so talented that they were able to win on last year,
not this year. I told Anthony from words say go,
which I'm going to bring it back on after this,
I said, they will be called Boston's up fourteen. I said, Anthony,

(21:09):
as long as the next stay and striking distance, those
shots will kill them. Well, next thing you know, third
quarter Celtic except still twelve thirteen, Get your flagrant foul call,
get some free throws, cut the lead single digits. Next thing,
you know that nine offense, nine running fast breaks, not

(21:32):
even attempting to run a fast break. I showed Anthony
the Boston Celtics young athletic players. They got a defensive rebound,
Anthony a step in. They walked them all up the floor.
Three guys walked, I mean legitimately walked. They didn't even
think about running in an early offense, getting their offense
started early so they'd have more time to make the

(21:54):
defense move. They all walked. I said, this is a joke.
This is worse then tired sandlot basketball. That's what I
watched yesterday. I couldn't stand it. I couldn't believe it.
So Joe's a champion. He's not gonna get fired this year.
I'm telling you all now, they start bad next year,
he's gone in twenty games. And if he doesn't coach

(22:15):
them offensively, he should be gone in twenty games. Because
it was embarrassing, I mean completely from a coach's perspective.
I couldn't stand watching them. So, guys, it's a tight game.
It's in the fourth quarter, about six minutes to go.
Celtics are up one or two. There's a turnover. Horford,

(22:35):
who is six eleven seven foot played at Florida. Really
good player. He's too old nine and he needs to retire,
but he's a good player. He's a great guy. Instead
of running down the middle of the floor to the
front of the rim to shoot a layup, he took
an angle out of the lane to when they threw
him the ball, he's probably thirteen or eight feet away
from the basket. As soon as he caught it, he
threw it to a guy standing on the three point

(22:57):
line who shot at three and missed it. Listen to me, guys,
he had no intention of shooting the layup. He's seven
feet tall. It was a five on four. Let me
explain to you now. One of the knicks had fallen down.
It's a five on four. He was the center. He
had no intentions of shooting in the layup. No one

(23:19):
was guardening. It's bad coaching, guys. The game right now
in the NBA, the state of the coaching because the
players don't want to be coached and the ownership groups
are not allowing them. To be coached is a very
difficult game. The Paul Silas, the Butcher Bears, that John
Lucas is the guys that I worked for. But I
had hard time coaching today, especially Paul Silas. It wouldn't

(23:41):
have happened. I'm just gonna be honest with you all.
It would not have happened. He didn't care who they were.
We had Derek Coleman, Anthony Mason, guys. We had the
toughest of the tough. These guys are softies. Bottom line
is they play a bad style of ball, and I
knew the Knicks would get them because the Knicks played
physical basketball. They played below to free throw line, and defensively,

(24:03):
they want to keep you on the perimeter. Allah, pat Riley,
I'm telling you the old next team with Allan Houston.
Let me tell you all the same. I've got to
say this to you correctly though. Before we go to break,
Anthony pat Riley used to tell them, first on, we're
gonna own the paint, the lane, the painted area. They
don't score in here, they get hit in this area.

(24:25):
Then we're gonna get better and we're gonna inch it
out to two feet outside the paint. And three feet
outside of the paint and four feet outside the paint
where people are gonna beat us from the perimeter. And
if they beat us from the perimeter, then they earned it.
We shake their hands, we go in. But if they
come into our house, they're gonna get hit. Charles Oakley,
Anthony Mason, patri Ewing, You're gonna be felt, period point blank.

(24:49):
And that's nick basketball of today. They're playing it that way,
and Boston wants no part of the physical contact, period
point blank. So Joe missoulu, you are a world champion
next year, you'll lose your job in twenty games if
your team doesn't play better, period point blank. Any finish
up the NBA before we go to our second break,
finish up, and truly without Curry. I hated that when

(25:11):
he pulled that hamstring, he's not coming back. You cannot
rush hamstrings. I told you all that that day. The
following morning, it's over. He's gonna have to rest that
thing for a month or two. Because he's old and
he really plays and he runs, that's his game. He's
gonna have to rest that for quite a long time.
So that series is over. So here's the question. An

(25:32):
ok se bad young men, Shae Gilders, Alexander. I mean,
that's just a very good team. Defensively, they play well
and I, in my opinion, the Minnesota Timberwolves. Who wins
that series. Who wins it?

Speaker 2 (25:49):
It gets the next round? The West Thunder get the Nuggets.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
Yes, I think the Thunder get the Nuggets. It's two
to two guys now, I told people, don't roll over
on the Nuggets. They're gonna make it a rock fight.
I mean, Joka is good. Murray is. He's hit or
miss now since the Olympics. He did not play well
in the Olympics for the Canadian team, and he has
just hit or missing. He might give you forty and

(26:13):
he might give you twelve. But if Murray is clicking,
then the Nuggets can pull it upset. If he's not,
the Thunder get him. But I still like the Thunder
and the Wolves. If those are the two teams, who
would you go with?

Speaker 2 (26:27):
I probably still say the Thunder. I think they have
a little bit more diversity when it comes from scoring,
offensive threats and size.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
I do too. I like the Thunder guys. I thought
it would be the Calves and the Thunder. I said
that before the season started, I mean before the playoffs started.
The Calves, Donovan Mitchell, the Thunder, Jay Gillicks, Alexander that's
what I expect. I'm disappointed with the Calves, guys, I
just am. I asked George yesterday. George always tell you

(26:58):
George loves to just try to take care of the players.
That's his job. Guys, don't get mad at him. But
I complete this agree. Donophan's got to do and help
will his team to another series that they don't deserve
to get. That's when you put him in that category
with the greats of greats. He's a superstar. He's an
NBA All Star. He's a top twenty five player. Know

(27:21):
if ends our butts about it got me, but I thought,
and I still think, now he's got the ability to
go further. He has to be mentally pushed to that
next level, period, point blank. So we have to wait
and see on that. Because they're done, you know, I
mean three to one, they're done. Indiana's going to take
care of business and beat them. And it really surprised

(27:41):
me because I thought it would be okay, see up
and coming and Cleveland young team up and coming. But
I don't see that happening an so anyway, anything else
you have Anthony, anybody else and that you' like, what
about Julius Randall? Thirty one points Anthony. Everybody thought that
was an awful trade for me in the Minnesota. It's
turning out for both teams. Your boy Towns with the

(28:05):
Knicks are still play it and Randall and Minnesota State
it's turning out to be a pretty good trade. What
do you think? No, it is?

Speaker 2 (28:14):
I mean I thought the same. Being a first two,
I thought that the trade might have been maybe a
little bit of an underthrow trade. And the only reason
why I said that is I was like, they're trading
for a guy who's not the same, not more expensive
yue than Karl Anthony Towns. They're in the same boat.
Their skill sets are similar, except Coronthony Towns is three
to four inch is taller than Julius Randall. That's the

(28:35):
only reason why I wasn't so sure about the trade
at first. I was like, Eh, would I rather have
a seven footer who's probably one of the best shooters
in the league, great postperson, I actually rebounder. They're in
the same boat. Randall doesn't shoot it as well. He's
been shooting better this season though over the last two years,
so I won't give him credit around mask. But I
do like Randall's physicality and his aggressiveness. I think that's

(28:56):
the big difference making between the Timberwolves making and having
a chance to making a little bit farther than the Knicks.
To you, Carl Anthony tans, he goes through stretches return
into a really soft basketball player, and he likes to
play on the perimeter a lot too jumpers. He wants
to post up fada ways on undersized guards. Randall doesn't
ever do that. He does it sometimes, but his tendencies

(29:17):
aren't as high as Karl Anthony Towns was.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Absolutely yeah, I mean, I think Towns is a much
better player. But you got to give rand to his due.
You ever give him his due now because everybody thought,
oh Minnesota's gonna drop. No one expected him to be there,
and honestly, he and and man they had thirty both
had thirty a piece. He had thirty one and had thirty.
You've got to give round to his due. A lot

(29:43):
of people have knocked Julius Randall, but we see what's
going on. Guys and he's taking his team to another round. Guy's, NBA,
just like the NFL, is the best league. We gotta
get to break out. Now, I'll talk forever. We're talking
about this seven thirty eight. Will be back after the break.
Sorry about that shat. Well, guys, it's seven forty two,
and if it's an eight o'clock job appearance you're supposed

(30:04):
to make, Anthony, they should be close. No rushing out there.
People's loved ones are out there. Take your time. So at,
let's wrap this NBA up before we jump into some
horse racing. I did talk to dal this morning early
about what's going on Junior Ivare's and want to talk
about that a little bit. But ending the NBA, Nuggets, Nicks,

(30:31):
my opinion, Timberwolves, OKC. Are those the best four teams
you think in the NBA, Anthony or were there some
upsets or did people underachieve?

Speaker 2 (30:44):
I mean I forget the Pacers too, You can't forget
about them?

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yes, oh exactly, I'm sorry. Yes, the Pacers, Pacers and
the Knicks in the East are the two teams I
think play for that championship, which the Pacers did surprise me.
And ok, the Wolves are my opinion. I know that
Okac and the Denver Nuggets are two and two. I
know that you will. I'm just predicted. I like Okac.

(31:09):
I thought it would be okay se in Cleveland. You
like those teams, and you like the Pacers. I don't
love the Pacers. I think they're playing above their means
in my opinion, I just don't. I think the Kavs
underachieved my opinion.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
Oh yeah, I think they're also quicking at the right time.
But I mean, I've said it before. Indiana's the one
team that doesn't have, I say, a real superstar. Yes,
they have Haliburt News on the Olympic team, but I
hate to say it, he didn't even play on the
Olympic team, and he's low key like one of the
most average all stars we've seen probably in the last
five years. He's hit a couple of clutch shots. That's

(31:46):
Who's why I'm saying, I'm not gonna throw himunder the boat.
But at the same time, if you were to star
a franchise, you wouldn't pick Tyrese Haliburton. That's all I'm saying.
But they do have scoring equally distributed across the board,
which makes them a hard team to guard because you
can't just keep focus on Brunson or Donovan Mitchell or
mainly an SGA. For most teams, they have that one
guy that facilitates the majority of their offense. Tyres Haliburton

(32:10):
doesn't even run point half the time Andrew Nimhart runs
point or they give it to So they have other
people that can initiate their offense, can pass the ball,
can score it, can hitch to let and they can
score it. And Turner can stretch the floor. Turner can
go into the post. Sometimes he's his post game is
is kind of bad. I'm gonna be completely honest. I

(32:30):
don't like Turner in the post. I think that's gonna
be improving.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
And he's a good defender, right. I like topping them
and he finishes at the rim. I like people attacking
that basket. He will attack that basket. That's one thing.
And he's improved his jump shot. Indiana's deceiving, but just
being honest with people as a former NBA player, and
when you look at it, all NBA players look at
it the same way. If you told Jerry's I got

(32:56):
a guard a man, I don't sleep well that night
you all understand me, Anthony Edwards, ooh no, he's a load.
I wouldn't sleep well the night before you said, Jerry's
you gotta guard Teres Halliburton. I'd sleep like a babe.
That would not be a problem. I could guard Halliburton.
But when you say guard ant man, ooh no. If

(33:17):
you said guard Curry, ooh no, don't sleep good, Anthony.
So you're correct with Halliburton. He is an All Star.
He's a very good player. But as a person that's
playing in the league, if I had to guard him,
he would not make me sleep poorly the night before.
There are players out there that would at the Edwards,
that boy is a load. Shay Gildicks, Alexander, he's a load. Curry,

(33:41):
he's a load. Honestly. Brunson is my style player. I
love him. He's physical. He does it more off the
dribble than I did. I did it more off the
catch dribble. I would want to post you with a
live dribble and bang you. But I love Brunson the
way he plays. But Halliburton just wouldn't. So you've got
to give the pacers credit across the board. And Carlile

(34:03):
been a friend of Carliles for forever Coach Beard mentored
coach Carlile. People didn't know what he did and he's
a really good guy and a great coach. So congratulations
to them. And it's forty six. We're gonna get to
our last break. When we come back, we are going
to talk about Junior Averrez, about what has happened and
what Dale Roman told me this morning that he wanted

(34:23):
me to pass on to our friends. Eves Sports Radio
phone numbers five zero, two, five seven, one, seventy nine hundred.
We'll talk to you a little bit about the Preakness
one hundred and fiftieth running and the post positions and
what Adale has spoke about with the punishment on Junior Avarez.
Welcome back to Eves Sports Radio, Anthony forty nine. We've

(34:49):
got about eight minutes and the show is history for today.
So let me just let y'all know that horsemen are
up at four three point thirty in the morning. They
are So when I got up, I said, well, I
heard George's interpretation of the whip. I said, I want
to find out and since I know people, and I
do know people now, I just sent a little text

(35:11):
message to del Romans to get him to help me
understand what was transpiring. I sent, to deal is a'veraz
being mistreated. What he did was not a big deal.
I said, Can I use your name and my show

(35:31):
discussing it this morning? He says, use my name. Next
thing you know, my phone's ringing. Dale says, I'm busy.
I would call in, but let me tell you exactly
what I want people to know. The whip, he says,
is like the little styrophoam that you put underneath your
arms at a swimming pool. That's what it is now.

(35:52):
It's not the old leather that it used to be
that did steing the horses a little bit. It's not.
It just makes noise, it cracks, it taps them, but
it does not do anything to them physically. It's like
that styrofoam that you put underneath the arms when you
don't want to swim and you want to just float.
Is his exact description to me. He says. But the

(36:14):
rules say you can only use it six times. Junior
used it nine times. I said, are you against the fines?
He said, I am not against the fines. The rule
is the rule. I'm against the suspension. The two day suspension.
He says, that's the rule. Everyone knows the rule. He

(36:35):
has no problem with the fine, the sixty one thousand
at all. I said thirty one ten percent of the
purse three hundred and ten thousand dollars for winning the derby,
and since it was the second offense, they doubled it.
He said he had no problem with that. This is
from Dale Romans, the winning his horse trainer in Churchill
Down's history. He had a problem with the two day suspension.

(36:57):
He said that was again sometimes he thinks Churchill Downs,
but it wasn't Churchill Downs. So we get that straight again.
It was not. The integrity group goes a little step
too far sometimes. But he wanted everyone to know what
that is that they're using when they're hitting those horses.
They're not damaging the horses at all, period point Blay.

(37:18):
So I wanted to make sure we got that out, Anthony.
Now that we understand what it is that they are
tapping those horses with and showing it to them, and
horses are trained. Horses just react to things because they're
trained that way, but it is not damaging them at all.
So nine horse Racing, the Preakness, nothing like the Derby guys.

(37:39):
The Derby has twenty horses. Anything can happen. Dale told
me his favorite, of course, is journalism. He thinks that
he will get it done. He does. He says second place,
he thinks we'll go to Sandman. I said, okay, I
think third place is going to go to pay Billy.
If you all don't know who pay Billy is, I
don't either. He's just in the fifth post position and

(38:02):
everybody knows the fifth post position gets two dollars across
the board from Eve Sports Radio. That's my college number,
he says. Plase your bet and tell your ticket up.
That's what the hell don't So anyway, I wanted to
give you all one and two. Go Orient. It is
in post position one, Journalism is in two, American Promises

(38:22):
in three, Heart of Honor is in four, Pay Billy
and five. River Themes is six, Sandman is seven, Clever
Again is eight, and Goshap is in nine. Those are
the nine horses and this year's one hundred and fiftieth
running of the Preakness. So we'll be watching that Saturday

(38:44):
along with the PGA. Anthony So, PJA, who's your pick? Anthony?
Is it? Roy McRoy. Is it Justin Thomas who has
won there before? Who's your pick? Who are you going with?
And this year's PGA Championship Quail Hollow, Charlotte, North Carolina,
seventy five hundred and fifty eight yards, it's a big
boy course, Anthony, Part seventy one. Who's your pick?

Speaker 2 (39:10):
No, that's a tough one. I you know, obviously I
own a roof for our hometown here, so I want
to say JT. He's been playing well, he's been hot,
So that's gonna be my pick for the PGA right now.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Okay, Yeah, he's won this year, great, first time in
almost three years he's won at quil Hollow, so he
is comfortable there. Roy mccroy's won there, I think four times,
So Anthony, Roy's gonna be a hard beat if he's
driving the ball with any accuracy. Boy, now that he
has gotten the Triple Crown of golf off his shoulders

(39:41):
by winning the Masters, that kid could go on a
real run. He is just that talented. But you know it, Anthony,
I'm going with Scotti. Now they didn't have to worry
about getting locked up. Anthony. That happened to you last
year at Valhalla. I know I'm going with Scott. I
think Scotty is really good. I think he's way over

(40:04):
do Anthony. He's playing well, he's won. Also, I think
he's getting this game back in the form. He hurt himself.
He hurt his hand. I don't know if he was
grilling out or something, but he did something. So I'm
looking forward to Thursday. I'm being honest with you can't
wait telling everybody we'll probably be running the best of
on Friday, guys, because all I'm gonna be doing is
watching the PGA. A lot of people say, how do

(40:25):
you sit down and watch golf all day? Easy? That's
all there is. Do it? I mean easy, guys, It's
I like watching. It's a very difficult game, it really is,
and it's a lot of fun to play, and you're
gonna see challenges for these players. The thing that makes
it different is this. A basketball court is still ninety

(40:48):
four feet the rims ten feet high. Guys. That's why
we used to tell great coaches would tell you, if
you do it and practice properly, you can do it
anywhere because the environment doesn't change, does not affect you,
it doesn't touch you. Got me. Golf courses are not
made that way. Some golf courses are made for certain skills.

(41:09):
Certain golf courses are made for right to left instead
of left or right off the drive. There's just a
lot of things that goes on with golf. So sometimes
big hitters golf courses aren't made for. It's accrid hitters.
So we'll have to wait and see. I mean Brian Harmon, guys,
he stands five to eight and he could be in
the top three in the last day. And he's not
a long ball hitter. He's accurate. So there's a lot

(41:32):
going on in golf. So anyway, great job. Atn't he shouting?
Great job. We'll be back tomorrow, God willing, and yes,
a real zoo clown show is North Carolina and Bill
Belichick right now. In my opinion, East Words Radio, I'm
out love you all, talk to you tomorrow. Bye bye.
