DP Show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle the
DP Show recapping the football. Buccaneers go to Detroit and
get roughed up twenty four to nine Seahawks over the Texans.
(00:50):
Neither game was that good, but you did have one
highlight or a reminder, a subtle reminder, Jamiir Gibbs is
really really good.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Tampa play a little bit, Tucker Day washing down, hands
to Javer Beans. There it goes, foot race right side,
got no shot it catching that man cut bun end
zone touchdown Detroit Lions seventy eight yards a fault of lightning,
and the Lions are an extra portaway from doubling.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Up their lead.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
At the Lions Radio network, when you have a local broadcaster,
he's trying to be professional. And then you got the
color analyst who's normally a former player, probably an offensive lineman,
and he's just throwing in things. Now as you hear
it again, the play by play voice is trying to
maintain the professionalism. Meanwhile, as color analysts, there is no professionalism.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Force Tampa plan a little bit Tucker Way washing off
down hands to Javerabans. There it goes foot race right side,
got no shot it catching that man cut bun end
zone touchdown, Detroit Lions, seventy.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Eight yards, a fault of lightning.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
And the Lions are extra point away from doubling up
their lead.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
It's like your uncle is just throwing in stuff where
you're trying to have a you know, serious conversation here
and he just throwing in yeah, all right, yeah right
yeah there go all right, yeah, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
My favorite analyst is the guy from the Bengals, Go
Baby go. Anytime somebody goes off, the color guy is
just trying to be nice professional. Jamar Chase would an
eighty nine yards old baby go.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
That's my favorite.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Dave Lapham is the offensive lineman, former offensive lineman for
the Bengals, and he just talks over the play by
play guy. It doesn't matter. He blows right through the
stop sign. Yeah, Paulie.
Speaker 7 (02:41):
Back in the day in Chicago, it'd be like Dick Buckets,
who would be one of the color commentators, and you
hear in the back on a christ come on, like
in the middle of the call if they miss a tackle.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Pole question. We had some interesting pole questions starting out
the show, Seaton, can you update a few of those
numerous many pole questions?
Speaker 8 (02:59):
Thefor for the AFC, that's the more for real team
or most for real team right now, Colts running away
with that one, followed not even really closely, but battle
for the bottom with the Patriots, Steelers and Broncos, and
then the nfcmffort is Rams running over that way with
that one. Second place is a tie between Seahawks and
Buccaneers forty nine ers and last nobody believes in them.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
George Springer three run homer in the seventh inning and
it sounded like this que oh pitch swing.
Speaker 9 (03:28):
In av ball let fielding deep for ros Arena turns
good oh stringer dagger four three Blue Jays in the
bottom of the.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Seventh Blue Jays Radio Network the Mariners great run. But
the Blue Jays have now had fifty two comeback wins
this season if you include the regular season in the postseason.
As for cal Rawley, he was in the on deck
circle when the last out took place, didn't get a chance.
He did homer in the fifth inning. Sixty five home
(04:06):
runs this season regular season, postseason tied for the fourth
most in a single season. Just out of the Day,
(04:26):
brought to you by pinnin America, the official trading cards
of the Dan Patrick Show. You had product placement in
the ninth inning of that game on Fox? Was it Fox? Yes?
It was Fox that they had to get in a
commercial or a graphic. Is that what happened there? Your
one big complaint.
Speaker 7 (04:46):
Paul, Yeah, I was a little salty. Look, I know ads.
We have lots of ads in our show. Everyone has
lots of ads in their shows. And they're broadcast two outs,
top of the ninth, in the middle of an at bat,
they cut away from the audio you still the picture
on the screen to a a card ad for fifteen
seconds with Jennifer Garner, which was nice, but a credit
card ad in the middle of the bat was even
(05:06):
between batters, there's a flow that happens in a baseball
game of tension and crowd and they jumped in with
a product and a lot of people were bothered by
in the moment because I don't think it does the
sponsor any good because they're interrupting.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Well, I don't know if you say I'm not going
to use Jennifer Garner's credit card now.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
Well, like they're under orders to play that. When they
have to play it, you have no choice. But man,
it was it was a hard left turn for fifteen second.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, but that's the product placement. You probably paid more
to have it air right then, or you had a
commercial that you had to make up and then you
had to squeeze that in. But it's like a I
love Jennifer Garner, I don't need her right now in
the ninth inning, Yes, poulm that's.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
Where you're really messing with the flow of a broadcast. Though,
Like if you have an injured player and you got
to take a break, you take a break or if
you have an ad even between at bats, maybe, but
this was that was still going on.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, congrats to the Blue Jays though, that was they
held on for dear life. That was a great series
back and forth. But Seattle wins those first two and
you're thinking, all right, maybe five maybe six games. They're
going to the World Series for the first time in
franchise history. And here the Blue Jays. When the Blue
(06:21):
Jays go, the blue Jays win. They won in the
early nineties and now they're back. This is where you
have a stat and it'll have to do with the
Blue Jays in the early nineties and then this Blue
Jay team, and somehow they'll try to compare the stats,
even though nobody obviously today played on the ninety one
or ninety two, ninety three Blue Jays. But all of
(06:43):
a sudden we kind of lump them in, or the
Yankees in the postseason are whatever and be like, not
these Yankees like Mantel and Domaggio and Babe Ruth. But
we do kind of oh, it's the same team, same franchise. Yes, Marvin,
if you're.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
The Blue Jays who thrown up first page for Game three,
I think that's their first home game.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Joe Carter, Joe Carter or Pito Gaston still alive, he
was the manager. But I would think Joe Carter would
be great to have any other suggestions. You got your
Blue Jays hat on.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
Let's go Blue Jays, Okay, come on now, all right?
Maybe a Dave Winfield. Dave Winfield, I think he was
on those Blue Jays teams.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah, but I don't. If you think he was on
those Blue Jay teams, then you don't really. It's not
like he comes to mind being on them.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Paul Well, I said Dave Whitford because I knew for sure.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I would say, Paul he was on one of those
championship teams.
Speaker 7 (07:47):
Yeah, polic so probably not Roger Clemens. Probably a lean
against them.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I would, yeah, I would, Yeah, but they didn't win
those those Blue Jays. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (07:57):
See we'll go Ricky Henderson, Well, that three year was
a good one.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yeah. If if he throws out the first pitch, that'll
be that'll be a miracle. That would be a miracle. Yeah. Hey,
but I'm not ruling it out. I'm not ruling it
out either. There's anybody who can do it. How about
here you go Geddy Lee, the lead singer of Rush
(08:22):
Huge Baseball Fan.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Yes, he sings the Canadian national anthem, but not those.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Other and then walks in and throws the first pitch. Okay,
two for two and throws a dime right there, And
they got a tour. They're going to be touring, so
you know, maybe, I'm sure he'd love to do it.
He's got a ton of memorabilia, a ton of baseball memorabilia.
Remember Dan Rather, the former CBS newsman. He does an
(08:49):
interviewing show and he was at Geddy Lee's house and
he's got one room that's just all baseball memorabilia. Crazy.
I saw where they're talking about. Now, I don't know
if this is the combined value of the three home
runs that show Heyo Tani hit in the last game,
but they were talking about being worth over three million dollars,
(09:12):
maybe four million dollars. Now, I don't I don't know
if that's all three of those baseballs that you have
to get them all together and you have to say
to everybody, we're going to split this equally. Everybody gets,
you know, one point three million dollars, and somebody's going
to want those three home runs but I saw it.
I don't know. I'm guessing it has to be all
three of them, not just one of those home runs.
(09:36):
Let me see John and Maine. Hi, John, what's on
your mind today?
Speaker 10 (09:42):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (09:43):
Dan?
Speaker 11 (09:44):
Hey, guys, just wanted to shine in on the college coaches.
For these big contracts. They get a ten year contract
and like a fifty million dollar buyout, why don't the
colleges put a stipulation and then there they only get
ten percent of that buyout each year. That way, if
(10:05):
they fall flat on their face after three years, they're
only paying out fifteen million instead of fifty.
Speaker 7 (10:14):
Yes, Paul, which college is going to step up and
do that first?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Which coach is going to agree to do that?
Speaker 6 (10:19):
Right?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
More importantly, it's the coach who's going to go okay.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
Because let's say Virginia Tech says we'll do that, We're
going to be stringent. No one's going to sign with
Virginia Tech. They'll go elsewhere where. There aren't rules like that.
It's almost like you need some type of level of
collusion for all these colleges, and they don't do that.
They won't collude together. Someone's going to say I'll overpay
because then I'll get blank coach.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah, thank you, John, thanks for your phone call. I
can't remember where we've had this many openings in college
football halfway through the season. This has to be a record.
And you have, you know, some marquee jobs that are
open and more to come. Now. Florida State has already
said they're making their decision at the end of the year.
(11:00):
They might have already made their decision. I'm guessing they have.
But you know, you got Oklahoma State, You've got Penn
State in there, you got Virginia Tech in there, you
got Florida in there.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
Yes, Pauline, and that would be a lot in January. Yeah, Florida,
Penn State, Arkansas, Oklahoma State, Virginia Tech, U SA LA
technically open. Yeah, Stanford, you know, I mean there's a
lot going on. Well Stanford isn't It's not not Stanford,
but I mean that's nuts.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Anthony in West Virginia, Hi, Anthony, I.
Speaker 12 (11:34):
Got a question for that, Dan Ass. It's the honor
to call the show. But do you guys ever get
lost in the moment, lost in the show and you
just forget to do your job. I'm fritty excluded everybody else.
Do you just sometimes like Van dam is just great,
he's killing it, and I'm just enjoying the show. I
forgot to even do what I was supposed to do.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Thanks guys, all.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Right, Anthony. By the way, Fritzi has a lot of
different things going on. It's not just listening to the show.
He's trying to the guests. I mean there's things that
go on while I'm speaking that these guys are, you know,
working on or part of their job responsibility. But I
don't know if you guys have ever kind of caught
yourself going, oh, I'm on. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (12:13):
So the question was do we ever get lost in
your greatness while doing the show that we sometimes forget
we're here working?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
That was the question. Yes, yes, do you ever get
lost in my greatness?
Speaker 8 (12:24):
Only in your eyes?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Thank you?
Speaker 8 (12:26):
No offense to your work, but only in your eyes.
I get lost in those often there is no lifeguard
on duty if you drowned, You guys ever just get
so lost in watching Dan be great that you just
forget who you are for a second.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Marvin, do you get lost in my run? The light,
the heat, your eyes?
Speaker 5 (12:43):
No, But I'm never jaded. I'm never like, oh, I
gotta go to work because somebody will remind me me
you're a sports geek like I was, and you were
for Dan Patrick Todd.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Do you ever get lost in my Greatness?
Speaker 6 (12:54):
I'll get caught up in a certain interview where I
can't believe that you got someone to admit something or
say something and forgets for a may you're just kind
of as a fan or someone in the car listening,
as opposed to that you're a staff member of the show.
That's the best way I can describe my experience.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Plie, do you get lost in my Greatness?
Speaker 7 (13:09):
I get locked in on the show when we're doing
something great where there could be a fire behind me
and I wouldn't notice it. Because when we're really hitting.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Ours, do you get lost in my greatness?
Speaker 7 (13:17):
I wouldn't use that phrase.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
By the way, the Stanford job is kind of open.
Frank Reich agreed to serve as this year's coach on
an interim basis whilst they do a national search, so
it's semi open.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Andrew Luck's taking that job, Oh, I don't know. I've
felt that the whole time that he was there that
he wants to be so close to the action that
the only the closest you can get is to being
the coach.
Speaker 8 (13:42):
Yeah, I'm calling that is my excuse from now on.
What next time I don't do my job or someone
you know what? I was just lost in your greatness.
I apologize. Okay, next time I'll try not to get
lost in how great you are.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Thank you. I'll try not to be great. Therefore, I
won't put you on pole to ask for you. Dan Patrick, Yes.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
I don't know if we got back to you on that,
but Cito Gaston appears to still be living an age
eighty one.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Okay, well that's good. I would need to have a
definitive on that, not were you're pretty sure.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
I've looked at like seven different things that suggest that
he is still.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Do they we suggest that he's still alive.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
It also says he was recently some type of special
advisor for Toronto Maple Leafs team that's actually a semi
pro baseball team affiliated with the Blue Jays that are
called the Maple Leafs, which is interesting.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Okay, I got a.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Hockey name for a baseball affiliate affiliation to the Blue Jays.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
We were suggesting that Cito Gaston the manager for the
Blue Jays.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
I'm just saying birth date. I'm not seeing anything beyond that,
which is nice to hear that he is an American
former Major League baseball offield, not was I'm not saying
an He was very happy to hear that. I like Sedo.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
You've called for dead people before.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
Yes, I invite the Sugar Ray Robinson on the show,
and not that many years ago, and his widow had
explained why he would not be able to appear on
a program.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
I was working, very embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
How did you ask for the great fighter?
Speaker 6 (15:06):
Somehow I got a number and a woman answered, she said,
and I said, I told him who I was with,
and we were interested in having Sugar Ray Robinson in
the program, and you know, wanted to see what his
schedule look like, and that's not going to be possible.
And then she proceeded to explain what year he passed away,
and I apologized and got very flushed in the face
and sweaty and very uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
But you tried how how many years had he had
he been dead?
Speaker 6 (15:29):
Several? Okay, it wasn't the kind of thing was Oh,
I didn't hear that tuberculosis last Thursday. It wasn't like
whatever it was.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
It was obseration, is it it was quite It was
back in the twenties.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Yeah, sorry for your lost It was actually many years ago.
So but I appreciate the sentiment.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I'm sorry they succumbed to polio.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
And then I said, so he said, what about next Tuesday?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
We can't do it anything, how about we take a break.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
Those are all back on the menu these days.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Reggie Miller alive and well Reggie Aloisious Miller Junior the
Third will join us right after this.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
We had a shooting contest about a half hour ago
with the dan nts, and some people have said, go
to the replay. Look like Seaton was stepping over the
line on quite a few shots. We'll get our replay
judges on that. And if he's DQ, then that would
mean that Fritzi would be the best shooter in the building.
Is that fair? Todd? Are you getting some feed back
here since you passed the email to me?
Speaker 6 (17:02):
I did send you anything. I just noticed something on
social media. I don't forwe at emails or anything like
that or tweets, but I know I lost five to four,
but there was questions about where our feet were on
the line.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Don't call it a comeback. He's Reggie Miller, the Hall
of Famer, and he is in Okay see Rockets Thunder
seven thirty Eastern. Mike Taurico's there, Reggie, Jamal Crawford, Warriors, Lakers.
Then follow up reg how are you buddy by friend?
Speaker 4 (17:28):
My friends? Oh then we are bad guy, have missed
you guys.
Speaker 14 (17:39):
Ah, this is my heart is filled right now because
of this.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Well, we're glad to have you on the team at
Peacock and NBC. Give me. Let's say the top three
storylines this year will be what well.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Number one.
Speaker 14 (17:55):
We have not had back to back champions in seven years, right,
so I think Number one are the thunder poised to
be that breakthrough team that could be back to back
champions Number one. Number two, look the health of Lebron
and going forward for the Lakers.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
I think with the transformation of Luca.
Speaker 14 (18:19):
And his body and the Lakers and having a full
training camp, if Lebron can come back or not come
back and not be the type of player that we
just saw a year ago when he was an All
NBA player, Obviously, the Lakers are always on that radar.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
And who's going to be the team in the East
to break through?
Speaker 14 (18:39):
Boston down obviously with Tatum and the Achilles injury, even
though there's rumblings he may come back, but clearly they
won't be the same. Obviously, Tyrese Halliburton and the Pacers
will be down to me, Cleveland sixty four wins a
year ago, the best record in.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
The East, and the Knicks.
Speaker 14 (18:57):
Let me say this for all my beautiful New Yorker,
my Knicks fans, If y'all don't win it this year
coming out the East, something is clearly wrong. So to me,
the two top teams in the East are the Cavs
and the Knicks.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
That would be my third storyline.
Speaker 14 (19:16):
Who's going to break through and kind of reign supreme
in the Eastern Conference.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
All right, let me go back to the Lakers. When
Lebron comes back. He's been the man in every team
that he's been on. Now he's not the man. It's
Luca's team. I don't know if you ever felt that
in your career, but was nineteen years like, was there
ever a point where you weren't the main guy but
getting used to that role? And I wonder about Lebron
(19:42):
accepting that or can he or does he?
Speaker 14 (19:46):
I think he can, I think he will, And yes,
I think all aging star players. I wouldn't put myself
in that category with Lebron, but we've all gone through it,
and I welcomed it. And I know exactly for me
when it happened. It was the year after we went
to the Finals. I had ankle surgery. We were starting
(20:08):
new Isaiah Thomas was coming in for Larry Bird. We
had just traded for Jermaine O'Neill, so clearly we were
going younger and if we wanted to continue that level
of excellence.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
I knew that I had to take a step back,
and I knew.
Speaker 14 (20:23):
That Jermaine O'Neill, Al Harrington, Jonathan Bender, Jamal Tinsley, those
guys were going to have to grow.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
And not that Luca needs to grow, because he's.
Speaker 14 (20:35):
Already an All NBA player, But I think this is
a welcome sight for Lebron.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Let's remember I mentioned this before.
Speaker 14 (20:42):
He was All NBA just the year ago, and his
numbers in year twenty two were unbelievable. I don't know
if he'll have those type of numbers, but I think
taking a step back and letting Luca carry the load.
There's nothing wrong with a twenty five of t twenty
six year old carrying the load. And I knew my
(21:03):
time would come come playoffs when I was with Jermaine
in them, so I just kind of wanted to tread
water for the regular season, and once middle of March
April hit Dan, That's when I would ramp up my minutes,
my conditioning to get ready for the grind of the playoffs.
And I think we'll see a lot of that from Lebron.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Yeah, I think it could be a good thing that
maybe you can limit those minutes even when he comes back,
because this is about the postseason. But we're looking at
OKC is the big favorite here, Denver's also in there,
and then the East is you know, without Tatum in there,
Boston is fallible. Do you think the Knicks are the
best team in the East.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
I do.
Speaker 14 (21:46):
I think still Cleveland will have the best record and
they'll wind the East again the regular season, but they
had improven themselves in the playoffs and theres greate. As
Domovan Mitchell has been all NBA as great as Evan
Bobley is becoming, I think he'll take another step.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
I love their starting five, I love.
Speaker 14 (22:05):
Coach Kenny Atkinson, but they just haven't been able to
get over the hump come playoff time. I know the Knicks,
and it's a little bit different this year now that
Mike Brown's at the helm, and the offense will be
a little bit different. But at the end of the day,
they've got the best clutch player in Jalen Brunson, and
just the cohesiveness of the Knicks team. I think come
(22:26):
playoff time they'll be able to take that next step again.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
There's a lot of games to be played.
Speaker 14 (22:33):
Obviously, all this is barn injury, as I always say,
but I just think the Knicks they're poised to take
that next step and represent the East.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
What do you expect out of Golden State.
Speaker 14 (22:47):
Barn injury. Look, Steph has to remain healthy. I know
he played seventy games a year ago. Draymond a full
season and training camp with Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
That can help.
Speaker 14 (23:02):
But to me, if the Warriors want to take the
next step, it has to come from within. Brendon Jamitski
and Quentin Post, those two young players. If Pajemski can
take that next leap, I know he's twenty two to
twenty three, but this young man has everything it takes
to be a great side piece and sidekick for Stephen Curry.
(23:26):
So if the younger guys can develop, get timely shooting
from Buddy Hill. The problem is the West is loaded
and there's ten eleven teams and every night you're going
to be in a dogfight. So a rolled ankle by
Curry and he's out for a little bit. I don't
know if there's going to be enough scoring. You know
(23:49):
they have a puncher's chance because of Curry.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I'm glad you clarified the side piece by the way,
just l Reggie Miller, the Hall of Famer. He'll be
on the call tonight with Mike Tarico and Jamal Crawford. Oh,
best shooter in the building will be who Come on, man,
stop it, I best score, best scorer in the building.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Now stop it too, Stop me too.
Speaker 14 (24:18):
I know j Cross unbelievable. Now you're saying who has
the best handles at the table? I'm gonna give that
to Jamal?
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Okay, but I was a score too, not just a shooter.
What do you think is the ceiling for SGA to average?
How many points do you think, well, let me let
me rephrase it. How many points do you think he
could average a game? Not They probably don't want him
getting thirty They wanted to be a team effort. But
(24:47):
how many he covered thirty two a year ago.
Speaker 14 (24:49):
I think he can average thirty five easy, just because
of his skill set. I think that number comes. It'll
come down a little bit. I think it'll be high
early because Jalen Williams is out, the second best player
on this team out with the Risks injury, won't be
in the starting lineup opening night, So I think his
scoring is going to be up until Jay Dubb comes back.
(25:10):
But I think they would like that number anywhere between
twenty eight to thirty thirty one points because less is more.
But this dude is such a gifted playmaker and score.
He's got it all DN.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
But how did he not he came up in the
three point era. He's not the top fifty with three pointers.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
But I think he's developed it to developed it to
keep teams honest. He can knock them down, but he's
a throwback. He's an old school type player that likes
to get to the mid range. And as we know,
come playoff time, what's more effective when the game becomes
a half court game, your mid range game. So during
(25:56):
the regular season, everyone's all about the threes, and I
get it, but people need to understand what playoff basketball
is all about. And for a player that's so young
at the age of twenty seven to recognize that. And again,
he does have a three point shot, he just doesn't
shoot the volume of him like a lot of players do.
He understands where his bread is buttered.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Michael Jordan's role at NBC, what have you been told?
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Absolutely nothing?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
You're not curious.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Oh I am very curious.
Speaker 14 (26:28):
I can't wait, I mean to have him a part
of whatever part he wants to play in this broadcast.
I'm all for Yeah, it's great, but they don't tell
us anything.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
I'm very low man on the total pole. No, you
got Rico probably below you.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
You got to ask Tariko Turiico. I think it's going
to be sort of like Kobe inside the mind of
Kobe details that.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
Wouldn't you like to see that? I would love to
see that?
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (26:54):
And you hear that.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
You imagine if he was a color commentator on a game,
he would just most people wouldn't it wouldn't.
Speaker 15 (27:02):
It, But that would be great, including not not only
the players on the court, but he would be roasting
Jericho Jamal myself.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
But I can't wait.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
But can great players get inside their own heads to explain?
Like sometimes? And I only go from memory where I
asked John mcenroy. He said, how do you do what
you do? And he goes, I don't know, I just
do it. I don't know if great players analyze what
made them great?
Speaker 14 (27:33):
Well, look, I will say what's made Charles Barkley great
on TV is that it comes from a place of honesty.
That's kind of MJMJ. Is front and center. He's not
going to sugarcoat anything. Mac was the same way. When
you listen to Mac on all those unbelievable you know,
Wimbledon's and French opens and US opens. It comes from
(27:55):
a place of honesty because of experience. Number one, they've
been there. They're champions, but they're just telling it like
he is. And I think a lot of people at
home they appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Kevin Durant two more years, ninety million dollars.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
This is the perfect for him, though, Theodore. Just think
about this.
Speaker 14 (28:15):
When I watched Houston a year ago. I love the
young talent, I love the heart, I love the being
well coached by he May. They had all the pieces,
but against Golden State in that first round when those
games got tight, as good as a champion as Fred
van Vliet is, he's only six to one and he
(28:35):
can only do so much. Now, you go out and
get arguably one of the best closers, scores, shooters that
this game has ever seen. And oh, by the way,
even though he says he's six ten, six eleven, he's
really like.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Seven to one. This was the perfect fit for him.
Speaker 14 (28:53):
A veteran surrounded by some young gun slingers and well
coached a good bench, perfect move. And this is how
Diabola cole the league is.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Are you kidding me? Opening night, We're gonna send him back.
Speaker 14 (29:07):
To the place where he won an MVP, knowing that
there is so much I should say animosity towards him
in this building. Oh by the way, we're gonna raise
the banner, get our championship rings while you look on.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
You can't write a better script than that themeter.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Okay, what do you think his career would have been
like had he stayed in OKAC?
Speaker 4 (29:28):
I think they would have won a championship if him
and Russ we're here, I really do.
Speaker 14 (29:31):
I mean, when you were up three to one against
Golden State, they were supposed to be going head to
head battle for battle for the next five or six years.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
I really do believe they would have won a championship
here together.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
I do.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
I think the Rockets are the tallest starting five in
the NBA. Does that sound right?
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Yes? They are, and they're starting it tonight.
Speaker 14 (29:53):
And that's gonna be interesting because if I'm OKC and
I'm Caseon Wallace and I'm Alex Caruso and I'm.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
I'm going like this.
Speaker 14 (30:02):
Remember the Thunder had the number one defense a year ago,
they forced the most turnovers in seventeen, they had the
most deals a game in ten. So right now, who's
bringing the ball up? I mean Thompson, who's great, but
he's six', eight six.' nine i mean This Is, reed
shepherd second year player Out, of kentucky coming off. The
(30:25):
bench if On, the thunder, they're like bring, it on bring, it.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
On, Big lineup how did it have to? Manage this
because they can beat them on. The board so.
Speaker 14 (30:36):
It's it there's give, and take but you're Playing into
okasey's hands with that.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Big lineup Victor wem benyama added some weight and. He's,
ARRY yeah I picked luca to BE the mvp. This
year it feels. Like it Wen ben yama is gonna
come in and then bunch he figures a little bit.
More out it's the right people getting him the ball
(31:05):
in the. RIGHT places I just i think he'll be
the best player, in basket the best two way player in. The,
game well.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
At, some, POINT yes i think. We can we don't
even have to pencil him in For The defensive player Of.
The year Should we should we go straight to.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
The pen it should have been he should have.
Speaker 14 (31:20):
Won it people, Last, year yeah he didn't qualify, for,
games right he was running away. With it so if
he obviously qualifies for games, this year he'll Clearly Win
defensive player Of. The year and to, YOUR point i
think he will be in the top five IN the.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Mvp voting who do YOU? Have mvp.
Speaker 14 (31:39):
It'll Either be Jokic or luca to, your POINT. Then
sga then It's between Giannis and victor as the.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Top Five does giannis end his Season? In milwaukee.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
It depends on how.
Speaker 14 (32:01):
THEY start i think if they start, OFF slow i
would not be surprised if.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
BOTH sides I think i just have a feeling he
may end Up In.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
New york.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
They Got Karl, anthony towns the best shooting big man of,
all time self declared to be.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
The best he may be the best shooting big Man.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
In milwaukee who is the best shooting big man of?
All time.
Speaker 4 (32:32):

Speaker 2 (37:35):
Right vince you got a you got, A Challenger seaton
bear to, The faith Bear Attack. Bear claw, Thank you Tom,
uh so you got a pie to. The face vince
got a Bet With seaton Brian In Salt. Lake, City,
hi brian what's on your. Mind today.
Speaker 10 (37:56):
I've just had an idea about maybe controlling some load
manager IN. The nba what if instead of having a
win loss record for, the teams having the games played
on a point system to wear away games and back
to back games that worth two points as opposed to
(38:18):
a home game worth, one point to where obviously they'd
be more important if you were out.
Speaker 11 (38:24):
Of town.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Paulie's usually in charge of the bad. Ideas, department yeah
lead that. To, ME yeah, i know we mean well
and we want these players. To play THAT'S why i
came up with the idea that you must play at
least sixty five games to be eligible for postseason, these
awards and there's money attached to. These awards you make,
(38:49):
first team, second team. Third team what it could, MEAN
now i know that there's been people who have been critical,
of It but i'm just trying to get the, best
players the best product out there for the betterment of.
The game instead of going who's playing to h he's not?
Playing tonight oh he played? Last night not going to?
PLAY tonight i. GET it i. Get it you make
(39:09):
a lot. Of money you want to continue to make
a lot. OF money i don't know how important it
is to entertain the fans on, a daily. NIGHTLY basis i.
Understand it but, you know maybe those players in the
sixties and seventies and eighties were naive of understanding how
much more of a shelf life they, could have how
much more money they. COULD make i get all, OF that,
(39:31):
i guess just the purity. OF it i would hope
that they would play maybe a minimum of sixty five to. Seventy, games,
yes time.
Speaker 6 (39:39):
There'll be a lot more important to the league and the.
Teams up they had to give some of the money
back to the people that bought tickets in advance only
to not see their favorite. Players play matter that if
they had to give a portion back because you wanted
to see a, certain player so then all of a
sudden it hits their pockets and you could. Be, injured
no those mysterious illness.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
They are but, you know we came up with player insurance,
Years ago Star player insurance that you know you get
your money back if you know you pay a fee
and you're gonna go to, a game and if that player,
doesn't play then you get your. Money back the opportunity
to get your. MONEY back i think that would be
(40:15):
something that everybody could, benefit From because marvin's talked. About
this he was going to take his son To see
lebron And the lakers Of. The, garden well you don't
Know if lebron's going. To play this is a couple of.
Years ago if you could take out let's say fifty
dollars insurance on that One game, lebron plays then You
pay lebron doesn't you can have the opportunity to get your. Money, Back,
(40:38):
yeah marvin.
Speaker 6 (40:39):
Tip off was at.
Speaker 5 (40:40):
