Hour 3 – Manipulating the Madness, Reggie Miller

00:00:00
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio Final.

00:00:05
Speaker 2: Hour in this Monday Reggie Miller will join us, coming up a little bit NFL news this morning. You of course had the big trade Max Crosby. Go back to last week with the Rams and the Chiefs. With that deal, Rashaan Gary defensive lineman for the Packers going to the Cowboys. Tua has officially been released, the DJ Moore trade to the Buffalo Bills. I still wait for Aj Brown to be traded to the New England Patriots, and then you're probably going to have one of these quarterbacks land one place, and then that'll probably lead to the domino effect of who else goes? Where does Tua go? Where does Gino Smith go? And where does Kyler Murray go. You also have Malik Willis. He is the prized free agent quarterback there and the question is how much is he going to cost you? Eight seven to seven to three DP show email address DP at Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at DPH. Watching Jason Tatum with the Celtics and it's not easing him back into the lineup. He's back in the lineup, and Boston is closing in on Detroit. Pistons have dropped four in a row. The Chiefs and the let's see the Chiefs, the Raiders, the Jets, the Cowboys, they have Browns have two first round draft picks here, and you start to look at what you're going to do with those draft picks. Plus, the Raiders have the most money in free agency. And if I go back to last year, the team that had the most money in free agency went to the Super Bowl, the New England Patriots, and they certainly felt like they were a couple of years ahead of schedule, but spending money, and we were. They coming off a four win season, so it can be done. And you had a second year quarterback in Drake may Seahawks spent the fourth most in free agency last year and they won the Super Bowl. All right, let's see poll question. What are you gonna have for his seating for the final hour of the program.

00:02:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got two up there right now from Paul a dude. More questionable signing Cardinals and Kyler Dolphins in Tua. Right now, seventy two percent say the Dolphins in Tua. How well do you understand the intricacies of NFL contracts? A lot, kinda or very little, very little right now is at fifty seven percent of the vote. Yeah, it is confusing as hell. Are you like we Why don't they just cut him right now? Wow, it's actually better if you wait till March fifteenth. Why woll because then you got to reach a who what?

00:02:33
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

00:02:34
Speaker 2: I'm still trying to figure out that second apron. You know, it's like, all right, I missed the first apron, now it's the second. Does football have aprons? Or is it NBA? Is it just that right?

00:02:44
Speaker 3: Just has a hard salary cap? And who has more of a soft who doesn't have one at all? My favorite is legal tampering. Why call it tampering if you're allowed to do it? But I don't know this kind of an oxy more.

00:03:00
Speaker 2: What did I call you? Todd?

00:03:02
Speaker 4: That's not very nice.

00:03:03
Speaker 2: No, it's not.

00:03:04
Speaker 4: I think voters are giving themselves a little too much credit.

00:03:05
Speaker 5: That should be like seventy three percent know very little about how this all works.

00:03:10
Speaker 2: By the way, I didn't hear from somebody who used to be on the selection committee for March Madness. He said, you're giving us way too much credit. If you think we manipulated matchups in the NCAA Tournament, and I didn't respond to him. I'm responding to him now. But I have to believe that those some of those matchups made for TV matchups didn't just happen accidentally. I refuse to believe that, and I'm talking to you my source who used to be on the committee. Yes, Bollie, it's.

00:03:43
Speaker 6: Almost like a two part process the NCAA Tournament committee. They decide the seeding of a team, and the next step is to place the team in a region and against possible opponents. So when you get a Texas Tech Indiana, they've decided their seeds and said, oh, we can make it so they played each other.

00:04:00
Speaker 2: Of course they do that, it's a TV show. Yeah, my source said, the matchups aren't manipulated. You're giving far too much credit to the committee. I love being accused of it though. Okay, I still believe that they do that.

00:04:15
Speaker 4: I would do that.

00:04:17
Speaker 2: You know, if you're in the if you're in March madness, you know got to keep winning. So why not make it entertaining matchups that you have a former coach with his team, maybe a player who transferred. Those are fun things. Zach and Knoxville, Hey, Zach, what's on your mind today?

00:04:38
Speaker 7: Hi, DP, thanks for taking my call.

00:04:41
Speaker 8: Best and worst of the weekend vest is just seeing all of those mid major conference championships. It's just so always good to see people playing hard defense with something on the line. And worst of the weekend was with Yukon losing the Marquette And I just wanted to ask, do you think JJ McCarthy deserves.

00:05:02
Speaker 7: A second chance?

00:05:03
Speaker 8: I know he's only had ten starts, but you look at a Sam Donald or Gino Smith ended up with the Jets and Baker Mayfield with the Browns. He went to a very good spot with a very good coach. Do you think that he's a reclamation project or would you move on?

00:05:20
Speaker 9: No?

00:05:21
Speaker 2: Well, I'd like to know how they feel because maybe they see something. Well I'm sure they see things that you know, we don't see. I only see the games, But I was never a big JJ McCarthy fan. That was one of those Hey he's gonna if he proves me wrong, I'll admit it, but I just I didn't see it. In college. It felt like he had a fastball, but he didn't have off speed and they didn't really rely on him to win games. Very often, which kind of struck me. But I would give him another year at his age with that contract still under contract. But I wouldn't give him another year after this one if I don't see, you know, remarkably higher numbers consistency. He's going to stay healthy as well. But that coach and then that wide receiver feels like you could accidentally throw twenty five touchdowns. Matt in Nashville, Hi, Matt, what's on your mind today?

00:06:26
Speaker 10: Day?

00:06:26
Speaker 8: Good morning?

00:06:26
Speaker 11: How are you good?

00:06:28
Speaker 7: Matt?

00:06:29
Speaker 12: Good? It's good?

00:06:30
Speaker 7: Hey, quick?

00:06:31
Speaker 13: Best and the worst of the weekend. Best is resident Virginia Cavalier fans here sneak greatly and sneakingly, finishing the season twenty seven and four and fifteen and three in the ACC. First year coach Ryan Odam did a phenomenal job this year of building a team with only one returning scholarship player. Guy never even played much, So kudos to the Cavaliers. Hope to see them make a good run in the agency in NCAA tournament. But the worst of the weekend, Dan, I'm not sure if you're familiar with the resume of one Jeremy Fears with Michigan State over the weekend against Michigan had is I believe third or fourth growing kick of the year. I don't know how the Big Ten doesn't suspend it for at least the game, maybe even the entire tournament. Guy's got about seven dirty plays, seven technicals this year and even worse than that. Tom is a continuing to say this guy, i'm's disgusting.

00:07:25
Speaker 12: He has no place in college basketball.

00:07:27
Speaker 2: Well, he did coach Draymond Green at Michigan State. I have seen some of the highlights in you know, their suspect as far as like, Okay, it's not Grayson Allen, but it's close. Yeah, Paul, It's.

00:07:46
Speaker 6: Really easy to not kick someone in the grind, so when it happens in a game, it's probably on purpose. And if you see it, he did a little like backwards donkey kick towards the guy's grind.

00:07:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's like Grayson Allen? It it takes a little effort to try to trip somebody. It doesn't. It doesn't happen like after like the third or fourth time, you know, then we realize it's not a coincidence. Eric in Oregon, Hi, Eric, what's on your mind?

00:08:16
Speaker 14: Good morning, Dan, Thanks for the call. Six I just have one best, no worst of the weekend. I got to take my son up to Portland yesterday for the for.

00:08:31
Speaker 15: His first NBA game. Got to see the Trailblazers win one thirty one to one eleven. So he was hooting and hollerand like I've never seen before. I think they made a made a fan for life.

00:08:42
Speaker 2: Oh good well, thank you for the phone call Dylan in Wisconsin.

00:08:48
Speaker 7: Hi, Dylan, here you Dan uh first of all Minnesota high school hockey tournament. People should watch it. It is magic.

00:08:59
Speaker 12: Oh just just.

00:09:00
Speaker 2: To see the hair the player introductions, the hair awesome and it.

00:09:04
Speaker 7: Was all the tiers and it was good for those kids. Anyways, pull up the Badgers beating Purdue on Senior Day. Wonder Paul and I don't really have a worse, but Rashan Garriot was time. Good luck Dallas.

00:09:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, what happened to Purdue in the second half of the season because they were number one there for a little while. That's a veteran team, I believe, but it feels like they kind of fell off in the second half of the season. We had a listener bring up the LA Marathon and it was a photo finish in the LA marathon. But then we find out if you did eighteen of the twenty six miles, you got a medal. Now Seaton has completed the New York City Marathon, how would you feel, Setan if people who were running in the marathon after eighteen miles got a medal, that is like what you but you finished it?

00:10:01
Speaker 4: I'd be pissed.

00:10:03
Speaker 2: I'd be super pissed.

00:10:05
Speaker 3: But eighteen between eighteen and twenty six miles is a massive world of pain that you have to power through to cross the line to get that stupid metal that you're like, hell, yeah, I did it, I got the medal, yes, Paul.

00:10:20
Speaker 6: So the backstory is the day or two before the race. The organizing body said that the runners will have an additional choice on race day due to the heat to be a little hotter than normal, as high in the low eighties. So if you get to mile eighteen, you could stop and still get credit for finishing the race, and your metal will look exactly the same as the twenty six point two metal for this one race, only not necessarily going forward.

00:10:45
Speaker 2: I can't do a participation medal once you get like the race really starts at eighteen miles. Everybody talks about you hit the wall. Oh, it's brutal. It's brutal.

00:10:58
Speaker 3: It's brutal between eighteen and twenty six miles. For some people it's probably really easy, but for me, it felt like every single muscle on my body was being pulled off one by one.

00:11:09
Speaker 2: It was horrible.

00:11:09
Speaker 3: It was like the worst thing. But you're like, damn it, I made it this far. You have to keep going. You have to finish. Just get the damn finisher's medal, you know, Yeah.

00:11:17
Speaker 6: Pul and the other thing ten years from now when you hold up your medal or it's at your house. Yep, ran the La marathon. If you have the medal, people assumed whatever marathon you finish.

00:11:26
Speaker 4: Is that right seating?

00:11:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course yeah. They're not going to follow up and say, did you run all twenty six miles? Yes, Todd.

00:11:35
Speaker 4: That's why. If anything, you just get a sticker that says like I voted today. You get like I ran part of the marathon. If you feel like you have to give people something at the eighteen moment.

00:11:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, just like a bumper sticker.

00:11:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, like you still you get your BIB or whatever that little number that you have, Like there you go that's your all right, you were in it, that's your you were in it metal.

00:11:53
Speaker 12: You know.

00:11:54
Speaker 2: Look I had a number. See I did it.

00:11:55
Speaker 3: Oh where's your medal? Oh I didn't finish. That's the way it's supposed to go.

00:12:00
Speaker 2: If you finish, then you get one of those metal yes, yes, and then then wrap me in aluminum foil or whatever happens when you get to the finish line. Did you get wrapped in that? Whatever that I did?

00:12:13
Speaker 3: As soon as you cross the finishing the finishing line, they like sort of put you right, They give you that rap, and then somebody hands you a metal and then they go right there here, stand right here, they take a quick picture of you. You're like, oh my god, and then they just move you right along.

00:12:26
Speaker 2: Yeah. And it's not pretty at the finish line because my wife ran the New York City Marathon twice, and I just remember she was running with somebody that I knew, and that somebody that I knew got to the finish line then threw up right in front of us and then proceeded to get on a plane and fly. Didn't you didn't shower, went to the airport, got on a plane and had to fly a couple hours to get back home. That's where you're you know, you're walking down the aisle and you're going, let me see, I'm in fourteen ce Ooh wow, that person doesn't look like they've showered it. In fact, they're wrapped in some kind of aluminum foil.

00:13:11
Speaker 5: Yes, Marvin, watching the sense of accomplishment that people feel when they finish, because I've worked a couple of New York City marathons and it's like, I don't want to drive twenty six miles.

00:13:21
Speaker 4: You ran twenty six miles.

00:13:23
Speaker 5: It's so impressive just watching everyday people run four or five hours to make it to the finish line.

00:13:28
Speaker 2: Well, we went to the eighteen mile mark one year when my wife ran it, and we were at a bar and we came out, cheered her on for you know, like nine seconds, and then went back in and had a couple more beers and met her at the finish line.

00:13:43
Speaker 6: Yeah, Paul, Wait, Dan, you said you watched from a bar at the eighteen mile mark. You should get credit for watching an entire race because you made it to the eighteen mile mark.

00:13:51
Speaker 2: Uh Todd in Indiana, Hi Todd, what's on your mind?

00:13:56
Speaker 13: Hey?

00:13:56
Speaker 12: Thanks, guys, thanks for bringing up this subject. I put on a lot of races. We time a lot of races.

00:14:04
Speaker 10: You'd be shocked at the people that email us the day after saying I couldn't make it, but could you please send me my finish for medal because I paid for it. So you are one hundred percent right. Running eighteen miles is not running twenty six and just a little off topic. But what you were just saying, one of my jobs for my kids when we started this was to get people's timing chips off their wrinkles when they finished. I got a call from my daughter from Collegewood year excuse me, and she said, thank you for making me do that.

00:14:37
Speaker 12: You know, I said, why why? I can see the look in someone's eye when they're going to throw up a file away And apparently she.

00:14:45
Speaker 10: Was at a bar and one of her friends was the unwelcome recipient of.

00:14:51
Speaker 15: Some nastys.

00:14:52
Speaker 12: But anyway, thank you guys for bringing up that subject.

00:14:56

00:16:12
Speaker 2: He was on the call for the Rockets and the Spurs last night on NBC in Peacock. Reggie Miller back with us also Coast to Coast on Tuesday, stays in San Antonio, the Celtics and the Spurs eight Eastern also on NBC, and Peacock Wemby again. Wemby both ends of the floor, inside and out. He shoots over eighty percent from the free throw line. I'm trying to figure out what he doesn't do at the ripe old age of twenty two.

00:16:41
Speaker 9: I think he's starting to figure it out. And I think what I've been most impressed with, especially this year, he is embracing how teams are playing him because the knock especially the first year, be physical with him, get up under them, kind of move them around. And I think because of last year his season was short because of the blood clots, we didn't get a huge sample size of games. But I think he went back to the lab this offseason. We saw all his travels with the Monks and different places trying to figure out the meaning of life and the game of basketball to him. And he's come back with a sense of purpose of matching other teams physicality. Again, He's still not the biggest guys, but he's embracing how these teams are playing them. And if you just case in point, the last three games he went against the Detroit Pistons, a very physical team, the LA Clippers, who have a number of players who like to play physical, and even last night with the Houston Rockets, they have a starting lineup of six six sixt' seven, six' nine and seven feet With Kevin, durant and they tried to get a Bunder they tried to be physical with. Him he embraces that now and almost uses it against. Them And you're, Right AND i was trying to, think AND i was trying to put myself in the shoes of fans of players that it is an experience when you watch him play Dan And i'm, thinking LIKE mj was like that because you didn't know what you were going to see WITH mj on the. COURT i Put Stephen curry in that because of his ability to shoot the. Basketball to, me with, me is a musty experience because you truly do not know what you are going to see and what you do see and, Witness it's, LIKE i don't Think i've seen a human being do.

00:18:45
Speaker 2: That but What i'm also seeing is somebody who. Cares if you saw him in The All Star, game you saw him in The, olympics even the comeback game against The clippers where he got, emotional truly cares about the outcome of the. Game AND i find that really, rare and certainly at the age of you, KNOW i brought up twenty, two isn't it?

00:19:10
Speaker 9: Refreshing all? RIGHT i, mean you, know we get so jaded nowadays because of some of these big contracts and load, management guys not wanting to. Play here's a guy, who again he'll listen to the trainers and the doctors for The, spurs but he wants to be out there every, minute and he wants to be out there. Competing AND i just wonder if Our american born, players it's some of the elite players are getting tired of the talk That victor Windin yama saved The All Star, game which he. Did he set the tone in that first, game how hard he came out and. Played AND i wonder why Our american born players are looking at this, saying you know what that should be, us that's how he should be. Playing and you have this frenchman setting the. Tone And i'm not the only one saying that he saved The All Star, game but a lot of people are saying that because of how he approached it And it's just refreshing to see that he competes so hard in just his third, season and he just sets the.

00:20:22
Speaker 2: Precedence i'll give you anybody in the league for the next five, years who you.

00:20:29
Speaker 9: Taking, OH i would take him because of what he does at both ends of the.

00:20:33
Speaker 2: Floor anybody Close Kate.

00:20:37
Speaker 9: Cunningham would be in. THERE i Think Cooper flag will have his. Moments, Again cooper's only what in nineteen, twenty but for the next five. Years right, now he's the face and he's a very humble. Kid but yet how he approaches the, game he's very. Thoughtful he's very methodical in terms of prep for a, game prep for his. Body the only thing that will be a knock going forward will be the injury. Part and right now he's with the perfect organization because they basically emitted load management back to the Great popovich And Kim, Duncan Mommy, Genobi Tony parker. Days so he's with the perfect organization in terms of saving his body going, forward and you know, what protecting him for himself because he, again he wants to be out there every, minute competing at a high.

00:21:33
Speaker 2: Level speaking of being out, There Jason tatum comes Back it's not like they eased him into the. Lineup he was in the lineup AND I i love watching this team and Now tatum, BACK i think they're the team to beat in The.

00:21:46
Speaker 4: EAST i.

00:21:47
Speaker 9: AGREE i agree with, him and especially with the recent slide of The Detroit, PISTONS i think they've lost their last. THREE i still Think detroit will win The. East BUT i Think boston is in the perfect situation because now you have a long runway For Jason tatum to get into basketball, shape almost a month until the season is, over and then the first first and second rounds that's another two to three, weeks so it almost has two full months to get in basketball. Shape this past game On saturday In, cleveland he played twenty seven. Minutes this is a guy that's been off for ten months with an achilles, injury achilles, tear and he comes back and he played twenty seven minutes on the. ROAD i thought they were gonna play him in even smaller, increments but it just lets me know that he's been back for a. While because for him to come back and play at this level and play those minutes in pactful, minutes it means he's been practicing and lifting and whatever else he's been. Doing it's been absolutely. Remarkable and it's gonna be a fun game tomorrow because two great defensive Teams boston The. Spurs and it'll be interesting because he will be, tested, Him, Brown, pritcher they will all be tested on the wings because The spurs play a very physical style as well. Defensively this should be a very fun and entertaining.

00:23:18
Speaker 2: Game Michael jordan says he doesn't get involved in the goat debate the latest interview That Mike treco did with. Him you talked about it on the. Broadcast why Would mike get involved in the goat debate.

00:23:33
Speaker 9: Because we're his. Minions that's our jobs to serve the, key, Right.

00:23:38
Speaker 2: Yeah but he doesn't have to say anything that.

00:23:39
Speaker 9: He doesn't just say a word and, right he just goes. Scoreboard, Right that's that's our. Job our job look at the scoreboard and go like. This all he needs to do is hold do, this and and that's. It this six FINALS. MVPs, LOOK i HAVEN'T i didn't play against everyone that's ever. PLAYED i never, played like he, said Against oscar Or Jerry west and all. That BUT i do know what it does feel like to go against, Him Kobe lebron for one, season AND i love all those. Guys it's hard to he will never win if he interjects, himself puts himself in that. Place, again that's our. Place that's our, job yours and eyes because from you your eye, test you've been around a long. Time you've seen a lot of. Basketball i've played against a lot of great, players The, magics The, larry's The. MICHAELS i played against them. All SO i kind of get. It but, again that's not our job to do. That it's and that's not his job to do.

00:24:43
Speaker 2: That, yeah you, know it's weird WHEN i get asked this, question because, look you can build up a resume For lebron and you go what he did to do it for over twenty years and you, know, consistency but you See kobe and it's and it's. Weird HOW i Think kobe got kind Of uh, OH i think we lost.

00:25:06
Speaker 6: You Reg, oh, yeah start bringing Up.

00:25:09
Speaker 2: Jordan here we, Go, Yeah, Todd i'll see if you can Get regis back on. There i'm just glad That Mike. Tarico you, Know mike hadn't been that busy the last you, know six. Weeks i'm glad that he got to do something where all reg is.

00:25:25
Speaker 4: Back.

00:25:27
Speaker 2: Guy, yeah got to sit down With jordan again for another. Interview but you, Know kobe is the one, that, like If i'm you and you, say, okay you gotta Face Lebron Mike, kobe Like kobe Is. MIKE i mean It's lebron's a, different different animal out, there but like style, Wise kobe is Is mike because he he pattered himself AFTER.

00:25:53
Speaker 9: I THINK i think we get caught up when we talk about the goat situation and the goat. Bait to, me the best player of the three IS. Mj kobe is a clone and a better version like he's might on, steroids better jump. Shooter to, me the fundamentals were better because he perfected them to be like the MASTER. Mj if you're talking about, careers the best career out of all three of, those in my opinion Is lebron because of the longevity and what he has done eight straight.

00:26:34
Speaker 2: Finals but you you you put emphasis on, career and rightfully so, Career, yeah there's a.

00:26:43
Speaker 9: Difference SO i Mean lebron has had the best career out of. Anyone for him to continue to play like this at this, level this late in his. Career but if we're going stack for stack, player to, ME, Mj, kobe and Then.

00:27:05
Speaker 2: Lebron oh in that, order.

00:27:10
Speaker 9: To me in that, order just Because, okay, LOOK i only had one year Versus lebron my last, year his rookie. YEAR i got tattooed BY. MJ i got tattooed By kobe at a high, level you, know Facing kobe in the. Finals so there's a body of work Between kobe AND i THAT i can you, KNOW i have a sample size.

00:27:32
Speaker 2: Against it's it's interesting WHEN i watch defenders on guys who were supposed to score and how you don't let it affect. You BUT i don't know how you, Don't like if you're Guarding kobe on the wing and everybody's, watching, yeah and all of a, sudden he blows by, you and you, know, Dunks, like how do you not take that?

00:27:53
Speaker 9: Personally, well you never wanted to show emotions when you were playing those two, guys AND i tried as much as possible not to BECAUSE i tried to put pressure on them at the other end as, well Because i'm blowing by them as. Well you, KNOW I i tried to put as much pressure and make them work as hard as they possibly, were making me work to try to tire them. Out both of those, Players Kobe, mike they were superior athletes in fantastic, shape which is very difficult to. Do so you, KNOW i heard you earlier talking about THE La marathon and you, know running the twenty six miles and all. THAT i tried to make it a marathon versus those, guys and make it a track meet and constantly keep them in motion to try and tire them. Down some games it, worked other games it. Didn't but that's WHAT i tried to do versus those two.

00:28:46
Speaker 2: Players talking To Reggie, miller he was on the call For Rocket spurs last. Night he'll be staying In San Antonio Celtic. Spurs that's tomorrow, night eight eastern ON nbc And. Peacock what do you make of THIS La? Marathon if you run eighteen, miles you get the same metal as those who completed The New york or the.

00:31:04
Speaker 2: Fella if you had to pick, that you're going to get bounced in the second round of the postseason or you're going to lose in THE nba.

00:31:12
Speaker 9: Finals i'll always take the finals because anything can happen once you get. There but it, hurt trust, me it stings much. More it stings much more because you say to, yourself CAN i win four? Games when you get to the. Finals that's what you, Say i've got to win four. Games and then when we went down two To oho going back home and we won game, three we're, like we Are you're saying three. Wins you would do anything to win three? Games and, Yeah so that's how desperate you. Get and that's the thinking you have to. Have AND i know people ought to be politically, correct but you are counting down to sixteen wins once you get to THE nba, playoffs and once you get to the, finals you just, say how CAN i win four games before that other?

Speaker 2: Ball nine and a half Fingers, Miller.

00:32:37
Speaker 9: Yeah just just give me the. Ball people are, Yes, YES i. Would it wouldn't stink to. Me the reason WHY i feel this way, people AND i want to explain this to him IF i had never been so close for so many, years so many conference finals versus The Knicks, philly when you're that, close when it's eight down to four and then losing to The lakers in the, finals needing four. Wins when you're that close and you can taste it and see the finish, line but you can't get to the finish, Line that's WHY i feel this.

00:33:09
Speaker 7: Way the.

00:33:09
Speaker 9: Stinks IF i had been like, first second round and always you know going, OUT i had was never close to the finish, line so who. Cares but when you're, closing you can see the FINISH i felt like That kenyan runner that was in first place and The american runner was. Running that's how you feel when you get to the. Finals CAN i get to that finish line?

00:33:33
Speaker 2: First marvin last week said if he was The Buffalo. Bills he'd rather not get to the Super bowl and. Lose he'd rather lose earlier in the. PLAYOFFS i want.

00:33:48
Speaker 9: To be on the biggest, Stage, marvin because you want. To you want the world. Scene you want to compete at the highest level against the best. Players and if that's The World, series the Super, bowl THE Nba, finals The Stanley, cup The, olympics for some of these runners and track, athletes you want to compete against the. Best and that that year we went to the finals With Larry legend as our. Coach we felt we were the best team in The. East we knew The lakers were the best team in The. West we wanted that, smoke and we knew it was going to be an uphill, battle but they hadn't won in a long, time so both of us were coming. IN i, mean we knew they had the, pedigree they were The, lakers but The lakers hadn't won. Yet that was their first championship and we had never, won so we felt we were on equal. Footing so that's why we felt we had we had a.

00:34:43
