Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio.

00:00:04
Speaker 2: Wow, what a day, What a night? Who would have thought? Welcome to the program hour one on this Wednesday, Dan and the Dan Nets Dan Patrick Show. We'll cover the big stories. Bam Out of Bio drops eighty three on the Wizards. Max Crosby fails is physical. Now going back to the Raiders. Team USA loses to Italy and their hopes of moving on are dwindling. Got some bids Hofstra right, Stay, Gonzaga and Ciena eight seven seven three. DP Show is the phone number to dial us up. Operator Tyler's sitting by. You'll take your calls seat and we'll have a poll question. Stat of the Day is always brought to you by Patini America, the official trading cards of the program. Good morning if you're watching on Peacock or NBC Sports Network or listening on our radio affiliates around the country. First Hotur brought to you by Liberty Mutual. Y pay full price when you can customize and save Switch Toy Mutual. They'll customize your home and auto insurance so you only pay for what you need. Well. It was eight days after the anniversary of Wilton Chamberlain's one hundred points in a game that nobody saw on TV. There were eyewitnesses and radio witnesses. And last night with Bam out of Bio scoring eighty three, I couldn't find the game. And I think late in the game Peacock did bring that game in so you could see the final seconds. But Bam out of Bio scores eighty three. And you know, I'm not surprised somebody has scored that many points because we've brought it up numerous times. Somebody's going to get there. With the volume of threes, somebody's going to get there, and we've had a couple of players getting over seventy. If you said, hey, who's the guy who's going to break the record? I would have said, now, I would say Kobe's record, Wilt's is not going to be broken, probably in our lifetime and another lifetime. I would have thought, Devin Booker, maybe you would have Luca. I mean, you gotta have high volume guys. You gotta have guys who can shoot threes. But Bam an underrated superstar. His previous high was forty three, and I think he had forty one at halftime. But towards the end, they let him shoot. He had a lot of threes. He took twenty two threes, and he's not a good shooter, but went to the free throw line and ended up with eighty three. Here's the call when he surpassed Kobe Bryant's eighty one points last night, and quickly in.

00:02:40
Speaker 3: The band, he's got space, head down, spins, puts it up and BAM's going to the line again. Bam on a bio is a complete monster.

00:02:55
Speaker 4: And really get the ball into BAM's hand the right way.

00:02:59
Speaker 3: Only real Chamberlain has more points in an NBA game.

00:03:06
Speaker 5: In association history.

00:03:08
Speaker 3: Than bam Adebayo, who has eighty two.

00:03:11
Speaker 2: That's Jason Jackson with the call. He'll join us next hour about the honor of calling the second highest individual scoring performance in league history. So eighty three. He went twenty of forty three from the floor, He shot twenty two threes, he made seven, but going to the free throw line, that's an all time record, thirty six of forty three. Wilt had twenty eight made free throws. I think he was twenty eight of thirty two. But you know you're looking at that many free throws and you throw in twenty some vehic goals. You're going to put up a big number there. Dwight Howard had the previous free throw attempts record at thirty nine, and that was back in twenty twelve and also twenty thirteen. Rat's pretty incredible night. You're playing against the Wizards, which that helps, but towards the end, it felt like maybe the strategy was, let's just let him go for the record, and that's exactly what his coach did. The Wizards were trying to foul other people to keep him away from getting the record against them, but bam out of bio. Now, I don't know if because we didn't get to see it. Now we saw highlights, but you know, Wilts was did he really score one hundred? That was in Hershey, Pennsylvania back in what nineteen sixty two and no video. There's pictures. But we're like, and I've said this before numerous times, we really don't welcome Wilt's numbers. Like Babe Ruth. We do Wilt averaged fifty points in a season. We're like, yeah, but who was he playing against? Well, we can say that about Babe Ruth too in some regards, but we don't We're like, yeah, the babe with Wilt, it's like these numbers don't really matter. They're like, well they didn't. You know, those aren't real. He didn't play against real guys. Check his numbers when he played against Bill Russell. I think he had fifty five rebounds in one game against him, Yes, Marv.

00:05:14
Speaker 6: But you could say that about Bam. He's playing against the Wizards, right, doesn't really count?

00:05:21
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, And then you go back to Kobe's eighty one, and Kobe did that on a game in January, but he said, you know, we were down big at halftime and so we had to stay in the game. You know, That's the thing. Wilt I think won by what one sixty nine to one thirty seven or something like. There was a blowout there. And even last night with Bam Outebio. You know you're winning by twenty five points, but Kobe said, hey, I had to stay in there. In fact, let's go back to do we have that, Marvin? Do we have Kobe yet?

00:05:58
Speaker 5: What?

00:05:58
Speaker 2: Marvin? We got him? Okay, now you did both of these, but if I said you could only have one on your resume, you could get the eighty one or you could get the sixty in your last game. You have to pick between those two. You only get one.

00:06:17
Speaker 7: Oh, man, I'd probably go with the eighty one because we were like one game out of making the playoffs that year, so we needed literally needed every single game to get into the postseason. So if we had dropped that one, I think we would have been in serious jeopardy of mission the playoffs that year. So I'll go with the eighty one.

00:06:41
Speaker 2: Reggie Miller and I got into a heated discussion, like he kept saying, You're gonna end your career with sixty, and then he put exclamation points on his text message, and I said, but eighty one exclamation points. That's come on, eighty one. And REGs goes, no, sixty on your last game.

00:07:02
Speaker 7: I'm just I'm enjoying the factasy actually happened. That's pretty cool.

00:07:08
Speaker 2: So that's Kobe after his eighty one point performance. Reg and I still argue about that because I'm like, man, I got a Now that Bamus are passed Kobe, then I might go, well, all right, I'll take sixty in my final regular season game, final game that I ever played. All Right, we'll come up with the poll question play of the day stat of the day, all of that forthcoming, the Max Crosby trade reversed, and I don't think I can overstate how devastating I think this is for the Raiders. They were going to get two first round draft picks, one this year one next year. Plus their philosophy and free agency probably was, you know, banking on the fact they were getting rid of Max Crosby and his contract and going to the Ravens. So they had a different philosophy here, who they were going after, how much money they were going to spend. But the Ravens said, hey, didn't pass physical and we're sending him back. This has happened before, now, It's happened in other sports. Remember Carlos Korea with the Mets, Mark Williams the Hornets. He was going to go to the Lakers. But and the Ravens have done this before. Now, these weren't big names. Ryan Grant in twenty eighteen failed a physical. Twenty twenty, Michael Brockers had an agreement with the Ravens, but they were concerned about his left ankle and that deal fell through as well. I'm just surprised at the Ravens said, oh, you know, upon further examination, you know, maybe there's long term damage in that knee because it was a torn meniscus. And then they said, because it's going to take time for that to heal. That was what was surprising. Now, I'm sure the Raiders doctors said, yo, he's good to go, and then you trade him. And then the Ravens doctors said, no, we don't like looks like there's more damage in there. So now the Ravens could be in the market for Trey Hendrickson. Now what do they do? And then the Raiders are you going to get dollar for dollar from Max Crosby? Now if he's damaged goods? I mean, this is devastating, I think for the Raiders because Max Crosby is making over thirty million dollars for this year and next year. Can you trade him? But what are you going to get in return? And I think that's the interesting part of this. If he's viewed as damaged goods, then you're not going to get two first round draft picks. But Max Crosby headed back to the Raiders. Yes, Paulie.

00:09:40
Speaker 4: Boy right on cue DN from Adam Schefter.

00:09:45
Speaker 8: Moments ago, the Ravens and Trey Hendrickson reached an agreement on a four year, one hundred and twelve million dollar contract. Just came through ments ago from Adam Schefter.

00:09:57
Speaker 4: That's a pivot.

00:09:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought this was going to happen. Diana Roussini, who's covering the NFL for the Athletics, she'll join us a little later on. Yeah, that one's devastating for the Raiders because it felt like, Okay, we can move on. Max can go play for a team that can compete for a Super Bowl. We're not ready. We got a couple more years here. We can get our center, we got Mendoza, get a couple more offensive linemen, get a couple of wide receivers. We can be respectable this year. But now you have the Max Crosby. Now I have to, you know, probably walk back my words of the Raiders tanking if it's true that you know this knee injury was far more serious than what we're leading on. But Max Crosby did have surgery. I think he knew he had to have surgery. But it's a torn meniscus. You can play through that. He can. But that's where you had this falling out between him and the Raiders' front office because he wanted to play those last two games, and that it felt like, we're going to sit you down because the last thing we want to do is win another game. Now, looking at that knee, and I don't know how many knee surgeries he's had, but if they're saying that, you know, could be long term damage in there, then it doesn't sound right. But you know, the Ravens have every right to be able to do it. It's like, yeah, we're bringing him in and that change. Look at free agency, it felt like a lot of dominoes fell after Max Crosby went to the Ravens.

00:11:31
Speaker 8: Yeah, Paul, I'd really love to know the timeline of this. Did the raid did the Ravens When did they know they were going to move on from Crosby? And when did they kick the tires on Hendrickson? Did they think maybe a buyer's remorse situation where oh, we can get Hendrickson for the same price and not give up draft picks. I'm curious how the timeline played out in the past twenty four hours.

00:11:52
Speaker 2: With all that, Oh, I understand what the Ravens did makes more sense knowing the Ravens with their draft picks, they don't give up draft picks, certainly the top fifteen, and you're gonna get Trey Hendrickson. Okay, he's not Max Crosby, and you're gonna bring him in. You're gonna have to pay him and it's a longer you know contract there, but you get to keep your draft picks. Yeah.

00:12:13
Speaker 9: Man, that is a tough situation for Max Crosby though now, I mean his value has plummeted.

00:12:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I would lowball the Raiders. Now now I give you a first and maybe I give you a third or something if that. Now, I don't know if the Cowboys see I don't know how this works with Rashawn Gary who came over from Green Bay to Dallas. Now it's not official yet. Could they then say, hey, you know what, Uh, we're going to rescind that trade. Like it's not official yet, you're just agreeing to a trade. I don't think there's anything in writing, but can you until after like four o'clock today? Could they then go, hey, let's go after Max Crosby. I mean, if I'm Dallas, I would do that if I thought Max Crosby was going to be healthy enough. But the fact that now the Ravens have put that out there that you know, he could have long term durability concerns. That's the language that I was given, long term durability concerns. All right, Seaton poll question today? What are we going to go with first hour?

00:13:24
Speaker 9: I appreciate their concern on long term, you know, their concerns about how he's going to hold up over the long term, because that's one thing that NFL teams do is they really hold on to their players for a long time.

00:13:37
Speaker 2: Yeah. Are they worried about him in his fifties.

00:13:41
Speaker 9: He's not sure, because we're planning on cutting them after the third year, but now looks more like a year two cut to save money.

00:13:46
Speaker 2: So that's a little too long term for us. Yeah, we're concerned about how he's going to be walking in his fifties.

00:13:53
Speaker 9: Long term, you know, durability here?

00:13:56
Speaker 2: What is long term? Is it three years? Two years? Two and a half? Yeah?

00:14:03
Speaker 9: All right, So what's the first hour poll question? I think you're gonna find that out after the break?

00:14:07
Speaker 2: Oh okay, Alrighty Pauly famous for the after the break poll question.

00:14:13
Speaker 9: I got the dolphin symbol from him, just the oh, it's like a dolphin jumping out of the water over.

00:14:20
Speaker 2: After the break. After the break, we'll jump the shark. After the break, we'll get to your phone calls.

Speaker 2: Recapping the NFL news this morning, The Ravens sending Max Crosby back to the Raiders. The Ravens have signed the former Bengal Edge rusher Trey Hendrickson. It's a four year deal worth a reported one hundred and twelve million dollars. More from Diana Rossini from the Athletics. She'll join us coming up top of the hour. Also check in with our buddy Jason Jackson, the voice of the Miami Heat. After Bam Out of Bio goes for eighty three The World Baseball Classic USA needs some help after getting roughed up by Italy. It was eight nothing, they came back, made it close, eight to six. So it's Italy and Mexico tonight. Italy wins, Italy and Team USA advance. If Mexico wins and scores five or more runs, Mexico and Team USA at If Mexico wins scores four runs or less, Mexico and Italy advance. Yes, Pom, how big.

00:17:08
Speaker 4: Of a story do you think this is this morning in Italy?

00:17:11
Speaker 2: Huge?

00:17:12
Speaker 4: Really?

00:17:13
Speaker 2: Yeah?

00:17:14
Speaker 11: Yeah?

00:17:14
Speaker 8: I'm curious how much how important baseball or maybe just nationalism is.

00:17:19
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's I mean, soccer obviously is their national pastime. But I think this is a big deal because all of the nations, all of the countries are involved, and the fact that Italy can show some pride here. Now there's been a lot of baseball players who are from Italian descent, and you got guys who are baseball players in the major leagues who were playing. But I think it's a big deal. Now it doesn't compare to soccer, but I do think it's a big deal because Italy beat Team USA eight, seven to seven three DP show email address, TP at danpatrick dot com Twitter handle DP show feels like people are bothered by Pam out of Bio getting eighty three. You know, maybe somebody who's scoring fifty or sixty or even seventy, okay, like his previous time, he was forty three. And I think the free throw element really bothers people. And I understand that that's an incredible amount of free throws.

00:18:19
Speaker 9: Yeah, Seeton just still have to make them, you know. I mean that, like, I don't really understand why there is a rush to sort of diminish it, because like we already have three different ways, say in the first twenty five minutes of the show, like, well it's against the Wizards. Yeah, a lot of teams play the Wizards and they don't put up eighty three against them, you know, or somehow now the idea of getting eighty three one point at a time is less, is easier than doing it three points at a time, don't I don't understand that.

00:18:50
Speaker 2: The forty three free throw attempts concerns me Against the Wizards, Marvin brought that up. That doesn't concern me, And I mean they let him shoot as much as he wanted. They got to a point where Eric Spolster said, go after it. It's still you got to score that. I mean, it's eighty three points, no matter what. And it's one of those where you look at it and you go, let me look at that again, because I thought it said sixty three, and all of a sudden, you know, I realized, Man, that's eighty three. No matter how you look at it's still eighty three in an NBA game.

00:19:27
Speaker 8: Yeah, PAULI I saw social media last last night and this morning. Some people were bothered by Spolstra keeping it in him in after the game was out of hand. But I think bigger picture, it's about passing Kobe. Kobe's a beloved figure. He's no longer with us. He's one of the greats and should be second place to Wilt and feels like, what's this guy doing there?

00:19:46
Speaker 4: We still love Kobe and want Kobe to have it.

00:19:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, still eighty three, man, Yes, Todd?

00:19:52
Speaker 12: Is it Bush League or some unwritten rule that once he got to like sixty seventy points that they can't triple team this guy. You're already an embarrassing relevant team. Why aren't you just throwing everybody at them to make sure you don't get embarrassed further in the history books by giving up eighty plus points to a guy. Just have four guys on. What that's You can't do that. You can't bunt to break up a no hitter, You can't guard somebody.

00:20:12
Speaker 5: With three guys. They don't get eighty three points.

00:20:16
Speaker 2: I don't know. Uh. You know, if we could get the Wizards somebody on or their coach, and we could ask, Now, what was the philosophy.

00:20:27
Speaker 7: There?

00:20:27
Speaker 2: I just gave you a job a side I'm going.

00:20:29
Speaker 4: To tell you.

00:20:31
Speaker 5: Let's get it from the source.

00:20:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, why not just ask the coach? Yes, it seems like a reasonable request.

00:20:39
Speaker 8: Yeah, let's have the Wizards coach on. I know his name at the top of my head.

00:20:45
Speaker 2: Does anybody know the Washington Wizard's head coach, And don't say Scotty Brooks, Eddie Jordan, Eddie Jordan.

00:20:59
Speaker 8: Yes, boy, this gentleman's name is Brian Keith. Brian Keith. Okay, that's the entire thing I had to Oh, okay, seems like a nice person.

00:21:10
Speaker 12: Yes, yes, Tom, if Spolzer is gonna keep him in, so see if he can get eighty ninety points or whatever. Then on the other side, they can have four guys cover him, you know, to just counteract that. If you're gonna try to embarrass us and let him get some record when the game's already out of reach, we're gonna make sure he doesn't get it by having.

00:21:24
Speaker 5: All five of our guys just do a circle around him.

00:21:26
Speaker 2: I agree. I agree. I wouldn't have let him embarrass me. I would have made sure they were trying to foul other people. I believe.

00:21:34
Speaker 6: Yes, Marvin Bam was already embarrassing him by putting up thirty one points in the first quarter.

00:21:39
Speaker 5: So now you're gonna start showing some heart and some effort.

00:21:42
Speaker 2: Stop here. And I don't know if you picked this moment in the season where you go, hey, we're gonna stop being embarrassed. We're gonna play hard, yes see.

00:21:52
Speaker 9: But there is almost like this tone of like, Bam, well, like you're not allowed to pass Kobe's eighty one. You're not allowed to Yeah, So like I think he and there's even the call where they're like, well, out of respect, they're gonna pull Bam here before he passes Kobe.

00:22:04
Speaker 2: Why, yeah, why? I think the Kobe element plays a large role in this that you know, we look at Kobe as a dominating scorer and he put up eighty one and he's no longer with us, And how dare Bam get eighty three points? I just didn't think. You know, you have to have a creator, you have to have somebody who can shoot three. Now he shot threes. He didn't make him. He was seven for twenty two. It's the free throws, because Kobe, I think, made twenty free throws when he put up eighty one.

00:22:36
Speaker 6: Yes, Mark, it's definitely the combination of Kobe and Bam. No, no, no, BAM's not supposed to do it. Luca Victor kd one of the iconic young players, Anthony Edwards, whoever. But it's not supposed to be Bam out of Bay who's in the Hall of Very good It's not supposed to be you, who came into the league. Is not a score. He's a guy to catch his lobs and plays defense. It's not supposed to be you.

00:23:01
Speaker 8: Yes, Paul Bam is absolutely a Hall of Very good er, three All Star Games, very good player for a long time. By the way, he's only twenty eight years old. I thought he was thirty three or thirty four.

00:23:13
Speaker 4: It feels like cold have been around a long time.

00:23:14
Speaker 9: Easily could have told me he was thirty eight, and I would have believed you.

00:23:17
Speaker 2: He's twenty eight years old.

00:23:18
Speaker 8: He joined the league in twenty seventeen.

00:23:21
Speaker 4: Was he eight?

00:23:21
Speaker 2: So he's got a couple of NBA titles. He's an old defensive player. I think four times. You just don't think that it'd be like Rudy Gobert putting up, you know, seventy points. But does BAM have? Was he untitled? Team? Sarah Marmon?

00:23:39
Speaker 5: He's been to the NBA finals twice.

00:23:41
Speaker 2: Finals. There you go, okay, NBA Finals? All right, Paul, you have a quiz in NBA quiz.

00:23:47
Speaker 8: I have a quick NBA quiz, Dan okay. Needless to say, I didn't have this one ready yesterday. Forty players in NBA history have scored sixty plus points in an NBA regular season game. Can you guess the highest career scoring average and lowest career scoring average of those players? For example, Kobe's thirteenth all time. He averaged twenty five a game for his career. Because he's thirteenth all time, and guys who have scored sixty there's two players who have career averages over thirty who scored sixty in a game?

00:24:21
Speaker 2: So Mike did correct and Wilt did correct.

00:24:25
Speaker 8: Both averaged thirty point ones for their career, the lowest career scoring average of anyone to score sixty in a game.

00:24:33
Speaker 2: M Marvin, you went to weigh on that one modern day Pauline.

00:24:40
Speaker 8: Yeah, Joel Fulkes from back in the fifties sixties averaged sixteen point four. Tom Chambers averaged eighteen point one. This player is current and active.

00:24:51
Speaker 2: Okay, and it was jumping Joel Folks.

00:24:54
Speaker 4: Yes, the way policies.

00:24:56
Speaker 2: Tom Chambers should be in the Hall of Fame, by the way, Okay.

00:25:00
Speaker 4: Klay Thompson only averaged eighteen point seven.

00:25:03
Speaker 5: Only overrated.

00:25:06
Speaker 8: This player averaged sixteen point one first career and it's still playing, and he got sixty, he got sixty plus. It's bam at a bio sixteen point one question?

00:25:18
Speaker 9: Okay, very tricky.

00:25:22
Speaker 2: I was going to throw a Tracy McGrady A.

00:25:26
Speaker 4: Good guess.

00:25:34
Speaker 9: We don't pay enough attention to the baseline in that stat of the day song.

00:25:37
Speaker 2: Oh really good? Yeah? Is Klay Thompson still dating?

00:25:44
Speaker 5: Who is?

00:25:45
Speaker 2: What's the rapper?

00:25:46
Speaker 5: Meg the Stallion?

00:25:47
Speaker 2: Oh? Megan, the Stallions.

00:25:49
Speaker 5: The Stallion. Yeah, he's been smiling.

00:25:52
Speaker 6: He's like, look, I'm not shooting really well, but look how happy.

00:25:57
Speaker 2: But man, they give great gifts to each other, be like they get cars and expensive watches and stuff.

00:26:04
Speaker 5: They do nice birthday parties.

00:26:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, Clay, you're not playing why who cares? Who cares?

00:26:11
Speaker 9: Uh?

00:26:12
Speaker 2: Chris and Syracuse, Good morning, Chris, what's on your mind?

00:26:15
Speaker 13: Hey?

00:26:15
Speaker 14: Thanks Dan?

00:26:16
Speaker 15: Hey, I got a possible poll question. A couple comments on Max Crosby. Maybe when teams start tree talks have a rule, team doctors clear players first, then gms get to hammer and out the deal. And I too, I think the Cowboys get a deal done for Max Crosby. Maybe after four o'clock today, trade that lineman Gary and some draft picks and get it done. And possible poll question, biggest surprise last night, Max Crosby, silver and back. Thank you, Fritzy Bam eighty three USA Baseball switch with the Fishes.

00:26:53
Speaker 2: Well a little Italian little mafia there with Team USA beating being beaten. Buddy about it? Yeah, swimming with the fishes.

00:27:03
Speaker 8: Yes, Paul I was actually just listening to Radio Sportiva in Italy and they're talking soccer.

00:27:10
Speaker 2: Oh they go.

00:27:12
Speaker 8: Now, it could be you know, segment one was all baseball. Segment two yeah, yes, maybe they started to show depending on the rundown. I don't want to impeach there.

00:27:20
Speaker 9: This is like in Italy. This is like if Team USA did well in cricket, we would be like, look yet that you see our cricket team they just beat That's really great. That's probably about the same. It's like a kicker story at the end.

00:27:31
Speaker 2: Of the hour.

00:27:31
Speaker 9: Oh you think the end of the newscast. Yeah, yeah, look out for the lighter side of the news. You guys, catch what's happening in the world. There's a thing called the World Baseball Classic.

00:27:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, smart.

00:27:42
Speaker 6: Is this a different scenario because these aren't Italians, like, they're Italian Americans. Yeah, right, So it's not the same thing as right. So it's a bunch of guys that are born here, raised here, they play in America. Oh, but they're Italian American Italians. Look at Italian Americans. They're Americans. So I'm not sure it's accurate, right, accurate. It's not the same Inaly.

00:28:06
Speaker 2: Right now, but yeah, they're going crazy in Naples right now.

00:28:11
Speaker 8: Ah, yes, Paul, I did look at the Italy baseball roster. There's six guys who were born in Italy and some live there now who are on the team.

00:28:20
Speaker 4: And a couple of pitch yesterday.

00:28:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jimmy skin Jeal and Tommy Kelamoo.

00:28:25
Speaker 9: I knew they were going to be on the team.

00:28:29
Speaker 8: I'm listening to the morning show Gino and the Meatball and they're not touching baseball. Meatball, you got to cover the story.

00:28:39
Speaker 2: Aiden in Utah Hi Aidan, what's on your mind?

00:28:43
Speaker 7: Yeah?

00:28:43
Speaker 1: Good morning?

00:28:44
Speaker 11: Now are Christen? I just want to you guys hit it right on the head. We got a disgusting performance by Bam at a Bio and from Bam out of Bio to be the one to d thrown Kobe. Are we serious with forty three free throws? This is disgusting, This is disgraceful. I have never been more seemed to modern NBA pastball than seeing that statline last night.

00:29:07
Speaker 2: Wait, are you being serious?

00:29:11
Speaker 11: Dan? If Lucas drunk cheek put up eighty three or forty three three thoughts, that would be amazing. I was ecstatic. But Bam out of Bio is going to be the one to dethrone Kobe.

00:29:22
Speaker 2: I guess he's serious. Yes.

00:29:23
Speaker 9: See, just so we're clear, we're talking about dethroning Kobe from second place. Correct, there's not a record set, right, No records were set yesterday. It just one guy went from second to third because a new guy moved into second, right, So we're dethroning somebody from second place, yes.

00:29:40
Speaker 2: And Aidan is not happy about it. Jeffrey in Louisiana, Hi, Jeffrey, Hey, Dan.

00:29:46
Speaker 16: First time, long time sixty six two fifty. Hey, just kind of my comments on man I was. I was pretty kind of conflicted initially with the kind of emotional attachment to Kobe growing up in all and you know, trying to see pastor like, yeah, it's a heck of an achievement. But you know, ultimately the end that game kind of turned into a farce where to Todd's point, they were trying to triple team him every single possession. All the Miami guys were missing free throws and immediately fouling the other team just to get more possessions, strictly to get Bam more shots. So it didn't really it wasn't really basketball at the end, which was kind of a shame. But I mean all credit to Bam. He had to he had to put the ball through the hoop.

00:30:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, once again, I didn't see the game. I actually went to NBA dot com and I was following along, you know, with just when they would update this the numbers, the stats, the score, and you know, PAULI was like, you know, at a Bio's got sixty, and I'm like, damn, I think we should change his name to dam at a Bio set a Bam. Okay, right, what are you thinking, Todd?

00:30:58
Speaker 5: I got distracted by a guest situations. So I'm gonna not pretend in say eleven or something like that.

00:31:04
Speaker 2: Okay, it's okay, it's all right. I thought you were leaning in to say something.

00:31:09
Speaker 9: Yeah, he's saying something something to a guest.

00:31:11
Speaker 2: You don't want that leaning from.

00:31:12
Speaker 7: Todd.

00:31:14
Speaker 9: Uh worded the email right there. Oh, being fired off as we speak, I can tell you, oh.

00:31:20
Speaker 5: Okay, hear my last email.

00:31:22
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I hope this finds you well. Well, Damn Todd Uh Andrew and Washington, Hi Andrew.

00:31:34
Speaker 14: Hey, good morning Dan Dane. I think the first mistake that Max Crosby made was say raider nation for life. And is opening presser. I hope Tray Heyndrisson doesn't say who today before he starts his Baltimore Ravens presser.

00:31:47
Speaker 7: But anyways, with the with the van out of Bayo, uh.

00:31:50
Speaker 14: Just eighty three points, I gotta say it's a it's a forty seven point game with record free throws of thirty six. To the thirty six free throws, we're double the amount COVID. Kobe actually shot over fifty percent in his eighty one point game. Bam out of by you is the only player to score seventy points or more and shoot less than fifty percent in a game. I kind of tell you that second half after he had forty three in the first half, was already like just feeding the ball to see what we can do with this game. The game is meaningless, unlike the Raptors and the Lakers. The reason why we say de throwne Kobe is because, like you said at the beginning, did anybody really see Wilt's game? It's sort of like bay Ruth could shot. There's photos of it, but there's no real evidence. And so we see video these days. So video tells us that Kobe's direcord and Bam has the most free throws in a forty seven point game.

00:32:43
Speaker 2: Well, we didn't really see Kobe's, man, I mean, that was against Toronto and it wasn't a nationally televised game. But I'm sure this will be under the microscope with the last three minutes there of what Miami was doing and what Washington was doing. But it's still eighty three. No, I think it's easy to dismiss because we don't look at him as a score and he's not. So how did he do it? He got all these free throws, but he's still it's eighty three ten years from now, and still eighty three twenty years from now. It's still eighty three. And you know, we'll soften this when it comes to oh yeah, but he had all those free throws. SGA shoots more free throws than anybody in the NBA. He's the MVP and going to be MVP again this year.

00:33:36
Speaker 9: Yes, I didn't realize that Kobe's eighty one had was zero free throws.

00:33:44
Speaker 2: He had twenty free throw.

00:33:46
Speaker 9: I didn't realize, right, And like the I'm going to guess that has last how many points?

00:33:52
Speaker 8: Yes, Paul, it's a big semantics topic. If you want to say who the greatest scores are, you have to go in order and Bam a second. But if you say greatest performances in NBA history, none of those games might be in it, or at least the first two might not be in it. Someone could say a Jordan game or an Isaiah Thomas game, or or whatever it may be.

00:34:11
Speaker 4: It's that'd be more judgy.

00:34:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I mean, we're we're pretty cruel here with the Bam out of bio performance. How dare he? It's like, how dare you do that? I had a little respect.

00:34:27
Speaker 6: Yeah, Like what y last night was one was a legendary night on social media last night, especially Twitter, I mean, and just people just had all these think pieces on you know, Kobe's night and BAM's night and what it means for the modern NBA and back in my day. It was just I was up for another hour just reading. Man, this is a long the piece Frank Isola.

00:34:50
Speaker 2: But but you have you know, when Kobe was playing it was a close game, will it wasn't a close game, and last night wasn't a close game. So there you're getting garbage buckets. Kobe was playing in the context of this is a competitive basketball game. Wilt. I don't even think they when Wilt got his one hundredth point, I think they ended the game. I think there were maybe less than sixty seconds left in that game. I think people came on to the floor, if memory serves me correct, But but I don't know. If you know, they got on the feet, you know, got on the court, and therefore it wasn't an.

00:35:27
Speaker 9: Official basketball throw that out there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, let me take a break here. We got to settle on a poll question. We'll check in with the Miami Heat coming up. More on what's going on with Max Crosby and the Raiders and the Ravens and the Ravens with Trey Hendrickson. Who man, I thought this was kind of a quiet time in March.

00:37:13
Speaker 13: Hey, Good morning Dan, First time, longtime six three to twenty ish. I just wanted to call him, thank you you and the show for introducing me to Stephen Wilson Junior. I got the pleasure to see him in concert last night in Cleveland. He was phenomenal and again just wanted to call him say thank.

00:37:32
Speaker 2: You well, thank you, Calvin. Yeah, I've heard from a lot of people who heard Steven Wilson Junior the Third on our show last year and have followed along with his tour getting a lot of recognition and rightfully so wonderful songwriter. He's one of those, and you know, Chris Stapleton's another one. They would write songs, they didn't think that they were good enough to sing those songs, perform those songs. And I still love the quote from Darius Rucker. Christ Apleton has written over a thousand songs, and he wrote a song for Darius Rucker, and Darius realized how talented Chris Stapleton was, and Chris says, hey, I got this song for you, and Darius goes, whatever you do, don't sing it because Darius knew that he wouldn't be able to sing it as well as Chris Stapleton and Steven Wilson. Good for you. He's out there hitting the road all over the world, all over the world. All right. Did you find out if the Wilt one hundred point game in Hershey, Pennsylvania actually the clock ran out or did people run on the floor before the clock ran out?

00:38:36
Speaker 8: A little bit of both some people ran on the floor when Wilt got a hundred. Then they resumed the game and they played the final forty six seconds. But the reason people think it was not completed because Wilt Chamberlain said he didn't remember anything after the hundred points and think that he thought they stopped the game when Wilt was interviewed. Here's the kicker. They tried to find out if it did get played. WCAU, the radio broadcast, asked the engineer recorded over the game the next day because they were needed to use the tape for something else, So the game was there's nothing more classic radio than this.

00:39:11
Speaker 4: By the way, the game was recorded over.

00:39:13
Speaker 8: And eventually they found the fourth quarter was rolled on by another person. And then a college student who missed the game at some small college in the northeast at UMass recorded the three m rebroadcast of the game on the radio station and gave it to the NBA years later. Otherwise there'd be no audio proof that the game ever happened.

00:39:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one of those. It's Hershey, Pennsylvania. It wasn't in Philadelphia, Hershey, Pa. Austin in North Dakota. Good morning, Austin. What's on your mind.

00:39:48
Speaker 17: So Dan, how's it going, man, I'm coming on the at a bio game. Of course, people aren't mad that it's just the fact that he scored a three, right, I mean it's modern the NBA. It's how they went about it late, missing free throws, intentionally, intentionally fuling to get more possessions while you're up thirty late. I mean that's disgusting. And let me just say this too. Could you imagine Adrian Peterson's rushing record single game on the line and a team is up by peopause that just end they're gonna on side ticket. Oh, let's just let him score over the top so we can get this record. I mean, completely fraudulent, needs to be an asterisk behind it.

00:40:26
Speaker 5: I can't.

00:40:28
Speaker 17: I can't get over that again, not the fact you scored eighty three. It is what is modern NBA. But how is that not blatant stat pattying and just overall on ethical.

00:40:39
Speaker 9: All right, thank you Austin, Yes, Satan, it is a little like to Austin's point, it is a little Strayhannish.

00:40:47
Speaker 2: With far taking a dive.

00:40:49
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I don't know if you really did take a dive, you could certainly say that it's one play compared to you know, a series of plays.

00:40:59
Speaker 5: I do get that point.

00:41:00
Speaker 7: I do.

00:41:02
Speaker 2: When you're fouling, when you're letting the other team score so Bam can get more shot. Yes, I mean I understand all of that. He still scored eighty three. I still have to come back to that he scored eighty three. I don't know what happened in the Wilt game. I mean, paul I knows he got one hundred.

00:41:23
Speaker 8: Yes, Paulie, if you're a Kobe fan, this only bothers you. If you let it bother you. You could still look at Kobe's game and say the Lakers needed a win. And in a real natural basketball game that was competitive for fourth quarters, the Cat scored eighty one when they were trying to stop him for four quarters.

00:41:39
Speaker 2: Yes, it was legitimate because it was a game. It was a true game, a contest between both of these teams. Last night, even with Wilt, you know, there were big leads, and then it became how many points can you score? How can we help facilitate that. Jason Jackson was on the call for the Miami Heat. Have him defend bem Adebayo and Eric Spolstra and their philosophy towards getting this incredible night. Our two on the way right after this
