00:00:00
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio. Got a busy final hour here. Jalen Rose will join us coming up momentarily. Reggie Miller will stop by as well. This week on.

00:00:12
Speaker 2: Coast to Coast Hornets Celtics, My Hornets against the Celtics, Rockets versus the Suns on NBC and Peacock. Also the NBA Playoffs coming to NBC and Peacocks starting April nineteen eight, seven seven to three. DP Show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show. Congrats to the Michigan Wolverines with the win against Connecticut. It's one of those where you're watching the game and I know the betting line is six and a half, and all of a sudden, it's you know, four, and then it's nine, and then it's coming back, and then it's going back and back and back, and then Fritzie says, this is going to end up. What was your line when you text us the point spread?

00:00:55
Speaker 3: Well, the latest points what I heard was six and a half. So with about seven and a half minutes up in the game ago, it's just a matter of whether they're gonna win by six or seven.

00:01:01
Speaker 4: We know they're gonna win. He's just gonna be one of those two.

00:01:03
Speaker 2: Numbers, because you can't win by six and a half.

00:01:05
Speaker 3: Someone's got to have a bad beat and someone's got to just barely win.

00:01:08
Speaker 4: That's what they want.

00:01:09
Speaker 2: Michigan first title since nineteen eighty nine. The other news, of course, North Carolina hiring Michael Malone as its new head coach, which is interesting because college basketball has changed considerably since Michael Malone was coaching in college. He of course coached with the Denver Nuggets and assistant coach in the NBA. But as I've mentioned a couple of times that the pipeline the talent through Nicola Jokich's agent, who represents close to forty players who will be either in college basketball or coming over to the United States. Illinois benefited greatly from this. North Carolina will tap into that as well. Seaton, would you give us the results of the pole question and what do we go with the final over of the program? Yeah, we have a pull quested up there now.

00:02:00
Speaker 5: We also had a suggestion from Marvin that's kind of more of a topic that we have to make it to a poll question putting together This one's from Todd t o dub putting together starting five of all transfers is smart or dumb. I'm glad that our audience is smart. Given the proof of concept. Last night, seventy percent say that it is smart, only thirty percent saying it is done well.

00:02:21
Speaker 2: I think smart or off putting because you might be bothered that that's how they built this team. I'm not because I don't know if there is This is the standard way to build a team now because it used to be. Remember when Cayler Perry did it and everybody go, oh, you're just going to take these kids for six months? He went, yeah, I'm bringing them in, see what we can do. Then I bring in another wave and then all of a sudden, Mike Krzyzewski started doing it, and that's when everybody go, oh, okay, yeah, even the great Mike Krzyzewski was taking a one or Donner. But you know, coach Kyle did that, and he has talked about that, because I even talked to him, you know, about before where he needed to surround some of the younger talent. And I think his approach is different at Arkansas than it was at Kentucky.

00:03:09
Speaker 6: Yes, Pauline, I do think the days of winning with a super duper freshmen are kind of over. I don't know if you can have that one Aj Debansa and make it to the final game. And these coaches have no choice but to take a superstar freshman Duke and BYU and Arkansas, but it seems like it actually hurts you and you'd rather have a bunch of twenty one year olds.

00:03:32
Speaker 2: Well, Duke should have won a national title the last couple of years with that talent. The yes, you have one and Donners, but still you still have a pretty good roster. By you didn't have a roster. They had one player, and you spend five or six million dollars, there goes the budget. Also, keep this in mind. You know Dusty May went from Florida at Lanting to Michigan, Kurt Signetti, James Madison to Indiana. Even Danny Hurley left Rhode Island to go to Yukon. None of these moves were, you know, I guess treated with fanfare. Dusty, you know, going from Florida Atlantic to you know, final four team a couple of years ago to go to Michigan. But you know, these coaches doesn't mean you have to get the biggest name, you got to get the right name, and these schools certainly benefited from them. Jalen Rose part of the five to five. He has recently recently launched the Same Page Entertainment, which he'll talk about as he gets ready to sit down. He was watching the title game from his hometown at Detroit. How are you feeling today about your Wolverines.

00:04:36
Speaker 7: I feel like a national champion, Dan. It's always great to see you enjoying the show.

00:04:40
Speaker 8: You a legend.

00:04:41
Speaker 4: You know how much I love and appreciate you.

00:04:44
Speaker 7: Value everything you brought to the game over the years in all aspects. So always an honor to be on the show. And it's a great day to be a Michigan Wolverine. As a Detroit kid, the Pistons had a number one seed. We're going to get Kay Cunningham back for a playoff off run. Just won the national championship in football a couple of years ago, Now we win it in basketball this year. I'm so happy for Dusty Man and the squad. It's a perfect day. The balls up.

00:05:11
Speaker 2: How will history remember this Michigan teom.

00:05:15
Speaker 4: There's national champions you know.

00:05:18
Speaker 7: Being a quote unquote football school and you know, the team has won twelve or thirteen national championships and has one hundred and twenty thousand people at the game every Saturday. You know, that's just going to be the standard. But there's been times even when we were in college, just the Fab five, where Desmond Howard was also winning the Heisman Trophy. And so that's an expectation when we say leaders in best, that's a real thing at Michigan. And so there is a level of pride and excellence and you know, not only being great at basketball, but being great at all of what we do.

00:05:53
Speaker 2: Who is bigger on campus, big men on campus? Fab five or Desmond Howard.

00:05:59
Speaker 7: Well, it's not fair of death because it was five of them. You know, we could be in a lot of places.

00:06:08
Speaker 8: That a lot of times.

00:06:09
Speaker 2: You know, the way that coach built this team, I don't know if this is the future, but you know that that makes it even more amazing is you're kind of taking pieces from all over the all over the world and going, I can I can put this puzzle together and have a magical run. Is this how teams are going to try to build their rosters in the future.

00:06:33
Speaker 4: Absolutely. You saw Indiana do it in football this.

00:06:36
Speaker 7: Year what's considered a basketball school, and all of a sudden, you know, they have a team of twenty three year olds and they win, you know, the football college football playoffs this year. And so for dust he made though I think I think he has the ability to.

00:06:53
Speaker 4: Do both, and that's what I really like about him.

00:06:56
Speaker 7: But in this case turning the team around in two years, You're bringing Yackselle lindon board, Big ten player of the Year from UAB, and then you bring in Cadot who was at UNC and Marrow who's at UCLA, so a lot of moving parts. Marie Johnson he was at Illinois, you know, and then the school invests in the team. You know, you put up the nil money, you create the budget, and all of a sudden, Dusty puts his fingertips on it and becomes magical. And they did a terrific job. And they were the best team all season. And I was telling this to Jamal Mashburn about Arizona and how they were a great team. But you know, I felt like they were a little handicapped because they didn't make the.

00:07:33
Speaker 2: Three the old cast with the Fab five. How much fun was that?

00:07:40
Speaker 4: Like? College kids really.

00:07:44
Speaker 7: And it was really awesome because a lot of people may or may not recognize that's really the third time since nineteen ninety three we've been in the same place at the same time, and one of them was early two thousands at my celebrity charity.

00:07:58
Speaker 4: Game I did in Chicago.

00:08:00
Speaker 7: So another time was a Michigan played in the finals against Louisville. And then one time when Juwan was coaching, we got a chance to go to a game in ann Arbor, so you know, to be back with Ray Jackson, Jimmy King, Juwan Howard and see Webb and break bread and tell stories. It was a great opportunity for CBS and TNT and True TV to bring us all together, and the fans seem to really enjoy it and probably would do more in the future.

00:08:27
Speaker 2: What makes a team famous.

00:08:31
Speaker 7: The public, So I was like giving yourself a nickname. Initially, we didn't want to be called the Fab Fire. We wanted to be called five Times because as a fan of music, I knew that that was the Beatles, and then of a fan of rap, I knew that was Fab five Freddy, and so we didn't want to be called the Fab five. But then the public wins out, and I'm glad the public was right. It's the exact same thing with anything else. You know, the impact you have on people and on the game speaks for itself. And so they determined all of that.

00:09:03
Speaker 2: How much would it to cost Michigan in nil when Fab five was coming to Michigan.

00:09:10
Speaker 7: So here's the difference, as I learned just covering the game this year with you know, Adam left Ko, Jamal mash Burn, and Bruce pearl is, not only would we had the pay for play opportunity which most players are taking advantage of, which is why you see so many players moving around, but we actually sold merchandise, jerseys, shorts, socks, shoes, Hirachis like, we actually sold merchandise and helped with enrollment, help with the popularity of the school. So couple that with you know, pay for playing nil money, we would have made some pretty pennies.

00:09:53
Speaker 2: Talking to Jalen Rose, a member of the Fab five of course a longtime NBA player as well, tell me what the same page entertainment, what are we diving into multimedia?

00:10:06
Speaker 4: Detroit based?

00:10:07
Speaker 7: And I partner with Tom Gores, a good friend of mine, for the Detraye Pistons, and we really bonded over our community work and wanted to give back to his home town on the Flint Mine of Detroit, but also just the state of Michigan. Just highlight a lot of voices in talent and in all types of spaces, whether it's docuseries. We have the number one show out right now to be calls out for us how to make sure you check that out. We also have a project out right now called Meal Ticket that.

00:10:34
Speaker 4: We're consulting producers with.

00:10:36
Speaker 7: It's on Amazon, So really it's going to be podcasts, it's going to be multimedia, just creating quality content for the masses.

00:10:44
Speaker 2: How many text messages did you get when Bam out of Bio scored eighty three?

00:10:50
Speaker 8: You know, I.

00:10:51
Speaker 7: Probably, like the rest of the world, none of us was watching that game first off, so I didn't. I didn't know what was happening. They're playing against the Wizards, right.

00:11:02
Speaker 4: I didn't. I didn't know that was happening.

00:11:05
Speaker 7: But in context, you know, I want to give Bam a lot of credit for people who haven't played, just the endurance and the discipline it takes to do something consistently to get to that type of numbers, there's a there's a reason why it hasn't happened in the history of the game, whether it's free throws. And yeah, it was a little spunky at the end of the game when they were folling and trying to get it for him, But if you think about it, it's no different.

00:11:32
Speaker 4: And I say this is with all due respect.

00:11:34
Speaker 7: If the Cleveland Browns are trying to get Miles Garrett the sack record, they're going to try to help them make it happen at the end of the season, even if the team isn't playing for the playoffs. And so that's that happens in sports a lot, a lot more than people realize. And so I was just happy for Bam. It's a terrific accomplishment. And I joked a lot because I feel like if he wasn't dayton Asia Wilson, he wouldn't have never got there.

00:11:57
Speaker 4: So good for him.

00:11:58
Speaker 2: Wait, why wouldn't you have got there?

00:12:01
Speaker 7: Because I love her killer instinct, how she's been a multiple MVPN champion and she brings it every game, So I feel like she's a motivating factor for his approach to the game these days.

00:12:15
Speaker 2: Okay, but now nobody's now people aren't gonna text you and say can you come on the show on the anniversary of Kobe's eighty one. You don't have to worry about that anymore.

00:12:25
Speaker 7: Well, I think I knew the entire time that you know, when you're playing against greatness, you know Tom Brady's gonna throw six or seven touchdowns in the game. But the reality that people always forget because people keep using the word record, Will actually has it at one hundred. That's the actual record. And so again, rest in peace. Kobe lost the way too young, but it's really an acknowledgment to Wilt's greatness as well that he still has the record all of these years later.

00:13:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, but as you said, I didn't guard Kobe the whole game. People made it seem like you're the year. Nobody's bringing up anybody from the Wizards to say, man, this is going to stay with you because you guarded Bam out of bio when he had eighty three.

00:13:17
Speaker 7: And I'll say this with humility, it's because Jalen has become a common name in the marketplace, and so you can attach me to it. There's nobody on the Wizards you can attach to it.

00:13:29
Speaker 2: But isn't it amazing the number of players in the NBA with the name Jalen? Is it like twenty eight.

00:13:36
Speaker 7: I'll tell you a secret, not just NBA, NFL, NCAA, in society, at the grocery store.

00:13:44
Speaker 4: And it's a blessing.

00:13:45
Speaker 7: And it's such a tribute to my late mom whoor lost a handful of years, who combined my biological father James with my uncle Lennard, who took it to the hospital to give birth.

00:13:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jalen, I mean, if I do the math, you know, Paulie.

00:14:00
Speaker 6: Before nineteen ninety two, it wasn't in the top five hundred boys' names in America. Then it went to three seventy eight and ninety two and got up to the top fifty ten years later.

00:14:11
Speaker 2: Shaq's up there too, isn't he? Is there anybody else? Lebron's not up there, coach.

00:14:17
Speaker 7: So I got some fine print for those names, Shaq, Lebron, and Denzel, who all are all time greats at what they do.

00:14:25
Speaker 4: All of those kids are black.

00:14:27
Speaker 7: Do one thing about the name Jalen is unisex, is universal.

00:14:32
Speaker 4: It has no color lines or boundaries.

00:14:35
Speaker 2: Are you sure there are not a lot of white guys named Shaquille.

00:14:39
Speaker 7: No, I've never met one, PAULI what you check?

00:14:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're checking Jack and see if there's a Shaquille back down there. Hey, great to talk to you. Good luck with the same page entertainment and congratch to your Wolverines.

00:14:54
Speaker 4: I appreciate the love of hell to the victors.

00:14:56
Speaker 2: All right? That is h Jalen Rose. Uh, that's good. You start to look at the numbers, you look at the map, you know, do the map there.

00:15:04
Speaker 5: Yes, it's hard to explain even as someone like I'm not a Michigan fan, but there's something special about seeing that five together that gets me like, ah, here we go. There they are and it's not so unique, it's so rare, but just seeing those five guys together just makes me feel good, you.

00:15:21
Speaker 2: Know, more impactful Fab five or the running rebels of UNLV.

00:15:28
Speaker 9: Impactful, not better at basketball? Well, UNLV won a national title, Fab five noticeably. Yeah, Fab five by far to me impact and coverage.

00:15:39
Speaker 6: I think the Fab five was covered outside of sports.

00:15:44
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I mean it was cultural, like that was different UNLV the way they played, but Michigan it was more of the way they looked in the way they played as far as the style with the uniforms, with the baggy shorts, no apologies whatsoever. Yeah it's Marvin.

00:16:03
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:16:03
Speaker 10: I feel like PAULI brought it up earlier Michigan, the Fab Five. You had to be there for it. I remember fourth grade rec league. I got black Church socks because in nineteen eighty four, Nike you didn't have black sox. I wore Church socks. Took to a rec league game to be like the Fab Five.

00:16:20

Got a text message last night Reggie says, Hey, I want to lead off my segment talking about the UCLA women's basketball team. I'm going okay, great, you filled out of bracket. Nobody else filled out a bracket. You filled out a bracket, and you picked your alma mater to win the national title. That's not a big jump. What noe?

00:17:35
Speaker 8: If you listen to.

00:17:36
Speaker 11: If you listen to the pregame the women's championship, no one had UCLA even though they only had that one loss all season long, it was all there.

00:17:49
Speaker 8: There you go, Thank you.

00:17:53
Speaker 11: I picked all four final four, which wasn't a stress.

00:17:57
Speaker 8: That was a little easy.

00:17:59
Speaker 11: But but look, we know the talk coming into the championship game, what happened with Gino and Don and South Carolina. This is gonna be a motivating thing. My girl said, hold my beer, hold on, hold on. That was that was belt, belt to boody, belt to booty.

00:18:23
Speaker 2: Come on, congratulations, thank you, congratulations.

00:18:27
Speaker 8: Let's give the ladies some love.

00:18:29
Speaker 11: I know you want to talk about Michigan and the Mint and all of the Let's give my lady Bruins, Corey Close, Lauren Bett's, Kiki, Rice, Gabrielle hotkaz Gianna Neatkins. Let's give these seniors so much because I want to tell people experience matters, seniors matter, and them having those six seniors, they scored every single point, Every single point came from seniors.

00:18:59
Speaker 8: I love that.

00:19:01
Speaker 2: What stood out with Michigan's performance, whether last night or in the tournament overall.

00:19:07
Speaker 8: Oh my goodness, there's size.

00:19:10
Speaker 11: Whoa that was like low key and NBA type team right there. Yeah, their size was unbelievable. It was so hard to score anywhere in the paint, not only all season long, but it was highlighted in this tournament. Unbelievable size, shot blocking. But again, Elliott Cadeau, when you've got a guy that can run the offense, experience came over from obviously from Carolina, didn't have the best career there, but for whatever reason, it changed once he got to Michigan. Confidence wise, Dusty may instilled maybe instilled that confidence in him. But when you've got a guy who can control the tempo, control the pace, be that you know, the head of the snake along with that size, to me, That's what stood out the most their defense in their size.

00:20:05
Speaker 2: Your reaction to Michael Malone going to North Carolina was what good for him.

00:20:12
Speaker 11: I was surprised that last year there were so many job openings in the pro game and he wasn't able to get one of them.

00:20:20
Speaker 8: And you talk.

00:20:21
Speaker 11: About a basketball savant, I thought he got kind of railroaded.

00:20:28
Speaker 8: Well he was in Denver.

00:20:30
Speaker 11: This is a great job for him to kind of set pace and step back in life because.

00:20:35
Speaker 8: NBA is go, go go.

00:20:37
Speaker 11: I don't know how well the recruiting thing will be for him in NIL and all that, but you're going to one of these blue blood type universities where I'm sure the bank will be open. In terms of x's and o's and game management, he is one of the best, So it's I think it's a great fit for him because now he gets a chance to kind of slow down a little bit as opposed to go on one hundred miles a minute in the NBA.

00:21:07
Speaker 2: How involved do you think Michael Jordan is at Carolina with basketball?

00:21:11
Speaker 8: I think he has a huge influence. I mean, he's their most famous athlete.

00:21:16
Speaker 11: Their team is repped by Jordan Brand, so I'm sure he had a scene, and I'm sure he did his due diligence. I'm sure he had his conversations with Michael Malone.

00:21:27
Speaker 2: But does he resonate with a seventeen year old.

00:21:31
Speaker 11: They all wear Jordan's, of course, everyone knows, yes, absolutely.

00:21:38
Speaker 2: But it feels like the seventeen year old Kobe might resonate more with them than Mike. Maybe maybe Lebron would resonate more than Mike would. Is that is that fair?

00:21:51
Speaker 8: Yeah? Fair enough? I could, Yes, fair enough.

00:21:54
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, but the parents, the parents would be like the parents Michael, Yeah, Mike, Mike's on the coal.

00:22:02
Speaker 11: But the kids, kids are out there buying Jordan's. As much as I love Lebron's, I'm not saying I want a pair of They'll They'll want Kobe's. They love Kobe's shoes too. Kobe's has a huge following as well, so does Lebron. Lebron has a nice following. But in terms of shoe deils, come on.

00:22:20
Speaker 2: Now we know and you have Jordan's.

00:22:25
Speaker 8: Why are you bringing this?

00:22:26
Speaker 4: No?

00:22:26
Speaker 2: I was just curious because are you.

00:22:28
Speaker 11: A Later in my career I had Jordan's, Okay, later before I was just a regular Nike athlete.

00:22:36
Speaker 8: Are you everyone else?

00:22:38
Speaker 2: Are you a sneaker head?

00:22:40
Speaker 8: No, I'm not.

00:22:41
Speaker 2: He never collected.

00:22:42
Speaker 8: No I have.

00:22:44
Speaker 11: I have quite a few of the Jordan runs, but I'm not like I gotta get these.

00:22:47
Speaker 8: I'm not. I'm not die hard like some people are.

00:22:50
Speaker 2: Uh. You know that I was watching Joker and Wemby and it was a Saturday afternoons game.

00:22:58
Speaker 8: Oh and it was so.

00:22:59
Speaker 2: Much much fun to just watch that game because I love both of the players. But here is Joker putting up forty on the best defensive player in the game. And even there were shots where Wenby put his hands up like, I don't know what I can do with this. And you know, Wemby had a great game against Joker as well. Sga Is winning the MVP, of course, but that was fun to watch. That was a late season battle. I don't know what was really at stake other than pride.

00:23:30
Speaker 11: But I will say this, with the Lakers being hurt, I don't know if they can hold on to that number three seed and the Denver note Nuggets move up and get that three seed, how fun would that be? Knock on wood. They both handle their business in the first round. Oh my goodness, and we get those two Juggernauts in the second round, san Antonio. But let me say this too, Wimby was guarding Yokids from most of the game. Yeah, Jokis was not guarding Wimby for most of the game. See that's the difference. And this is why I do love Wimby. He takes on the challenge. It's my responsibility to stop the best player on the other team, which is yo kids, I'm gonna take that challenge. And look, Yokis just put up forty on a lot of great players, just not Wimby.

00:24:22
Speaker 8: So it's hard to say, oh, he'd be.

00:24:24
Speaker 11: Dropped forty on Wimby, the supposedly the best, you know, defensive player. That's his job. He's gonna contest. He's gonna go against the best player each and every night.

00:24:34
Speaker 8: I like that. He's not dodging the smoke at all.

00:24:36
Speaker 2: Oh hey, I acknowledge that I love Wemby. But Joker puts up forty and own he owns the team record against him and head to head matchup as well. He's just still they by far and away the best offensive player in the game.

00:24:53
Speaker 11: Yes, I agree, but you and I I think we're in sync on who will win MVP.

00:24:59
Speaker 8: I think that'll be s and them having.

00:25:01
Speaker 2: Lemby will win an MVP before Joker wins another one. Webby's having a better year. I mean, Joker's having a better year this year than he did in his MVP years.

00:25:13
Speaker 11: But can I just say one thing, dude, The dude is averaging a triple double as a sinner, he's leading the league in assists and rebounds, and he's a top five score and he won't win MVP.

00:25:29
Speaker 8: Let me think about what we're saying here.

00:25:33
Speaker 2: But if they had a better record than he's winning the end, that's what it comes down to.

00:25:38
Speaker 11: I think this year SCA is putting up incredible numbers, but I think what will tilt towards him will be the overall number one seed?

00:25:50
Speaker 8: Was it?

00:25:50
Speaker 11: And again, this is coming off having the best record, going deep in the playoffs, going to seven games, winning finals, MVP, and oh, by the way, you come back what two months later, maybe less than two months later, and you're doing it all over again. Let's give SGA and the Thunder a lot of credit.

00:26:10
Speaker 8: For doing that.

00:26:10
Speaker 2: Absolutely, we're talking to Reggie Miller. I didn't give you the proper introduction. Let's see, no need, no needy. People know you got my hornage at the Celtics coming up tonight, Howard, Look who's your rookie of the year.

00:26:29
Speaker 11: I'm still going with Con, But what Cooper Flag has done over the last week or so, fifty one and then I think forty five against the Lakers. That's great and all, but Con and his team every game means something. I mean, they've had the second best record, I believe, since January twenty second only behind the Spurs.

00:26:51
Speaker 8: And if you.

00:26:52
Speaker 11: Look at their starting five, LaMelo, Brendan Miller, Con Miles, Bridges, Mussa Diabate, they're plus minus by far. They're starting five by far. It's superior than any other starting five since January first.

00:27:09
Speaker 8: This is one game, and I'm.

00:27:10
Speaker 11: Glad we added it late in the season because when you watch the Hornets play, it's hard to kind of gauge their pace and their speed from television. So I'm curious because both of these teams tonight, they kind of are very similar. They both like to jack up a lot of threes, they live behind that three point line. They both are great offensive reboundings team, and they're both great defensively, and March fourth, the Hornets came in to Boston and put a whooping on Boston. Now again, Tatum came back a couple of weeks later and they went to Charlotte and one Boston did. So this could be a very very well could be a first round matchup as well. So I think there's gonna be some messages being sent from both teams.

00:27:56
Speaker 2: Okay, I think Cooper Flagg should be the rookie of the year. You're factoring in record for a Rookie of the Year award. We don't do that. We're doing it because that can tilt towards Kanknipple. I think we're surprised at Caniple. We're not surprised at Cooper Flag. He plays on a bad team. Imagine being nineteen years of age and everybody knows you're the guy who's gonna have the ball and try to score, and he puts up fifty one and forty five. I really don't think it's close. I love Canipple. I do watch the Hornets play games, but Cooper Flagg is leading an entire team every single night. There might not be good, but everybody in the building knows we have to stop him.

00:28:42
Speaker 11: All fair and valid points, but also too, you've got a dude who is not only leading the league, but broke the rookie record with two hundred and sixty five and counting mad threes. Just go back last year for the Hornets, they weren't in this position. Con comes in and it helps that Brandon Miller has been help been healthy, he was hurt. It helps that LMLO ball has been healthy. But Kon King Noble has added something to this Hornets team.

00:29:14
Speaker 8: I don't think it's a runaway for Cooper to win it. Now, Let's give Con some credit.

00:29:19
Speaker 11: Two hundred and sixty five may threes as a rookie, and it's not like he's just jacking him up and he has a terrible shooting percentage. He has added a lot of stability for this Hornets team.

00:29:30
Speaker 2: Okay, I brought this up, and I need you to bring it up. Uh next year fifty years since the ABA merger. Yes, okay, the Spurs.

00:29:44
Speaker 8: You want me to bring it up on you like the red, white and blue ball.

00:29:46
Speaker 2: Okay, here, just hear me out. Next season one game Spurs Nuggets, two original ABA teams, old uniforms, red White and Blue ball and you have ab A Night in the NBA.

00:30:04
Speaker 8: What do you think? I absolutely love it.

00:30:07
Speaker 11: The only thing I would change in what you just said it would have to be Spurs versus the Indiana Pacers.

00:30:15
Speaker 8: What are you talking about? Three ABA championships? Roger Brown, I'm okay with that. I'm okay.

00:30:21
Speaker 11: We're going with the Spurs and the Indiana Pacers, Adam Silver. If you are listening, Theodore and Reginald Awl Wishes Miller, we want ab A Night, Spurs, Pacers off, bring in the cheerleaders and oh yes, let's do it.

00:30:42
Speaker 2: Okay, but can I get okay? Who the Nuggets gotta be involved in this?

00:30:47
Speaker 8: Is there still a are both of the only three ABA teams left that merge the nets?

00:30:58
Speaker 4: Yeah?

00:30:58
Speaker 8: But the brook Yeah, we could do the net.

00:31:01
Speaker 2: And I want guys to wear afros too, like it's fifty years ago. Maybe mustaches, goates or whatever.

00:31:09
Speaker 12: Tight you love to see, uh yo, kids just run out for the layup line, just with a big old doctor J Frow.

00:31:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd like that fifty year anniversary.

00:31:25
Speaker 8: I hope they're listening to us.

00:31:26
Speaker 2: That's one game you got the whole fielding. Reggie you're on the col tonight.

00:31:32
Speaker 8: Furs Pacers and we've got nuggets nets.

00:34:58
Speaker 8: We've got only about five and a half minutes.

00:35:00
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, all right, all right, here is Todd's SportsCenter tease.

00:35:13
Speaker 3: Coming up on Sports Center. They didn't know what was in stores for them. How April became May last night at Lucas Oil and did the top Husky Hurley arbor? Andy Ill will to are the officials a forlorn unicorn? Anyone have a spare rib for wincing Wemby. Here's a nugget new home alone. Michael moves into the chapel, but this will be a good marriage or not? Why Coach k grades the higher as a UNC minus will explain the windy city clips in Angels Wings, but will be a dream or nightmare in Atlanta? And is the Red Sox first basement?

00:35:42
Speaker 2: Okay?

00:35:42
Speaker 8: With gonna hit by a pitch?

00:35:43
Speaker 3: Oh, Contreras, we only have an undergraduate degree, but we're.

00:35:46
Speaker 2: Preparing for a master's sports center next. How about that round of applause for that? Ah? I like that, Todd Yeah, yeah, Paul.

00:35:58
Speaker 6: I hesitate to say this because it means he'll do it every week after this, but that may be his best one ever ever, at least twelve good play on words.

00:36:07
Speaker 8: Yeah.

00:36:07
Speaker 2: I mean there's usually one or two cringies, but for the most part, that was good. Arbor ill will Yeah. Okay, So Contreras has been hit twenty four times by the same team, but Craig Bigio has the old time record. I think the Rockies hit Craig Bigio twenty nine times. I get what point does it become personal, like after the twentieth time that I've been hit by this pitching staff. But I think so Wilson Contreras was hit by a Brewer pitcher, and he has been hit by Milwaukee pitchers twenty four times in his career, six more than any other active player by a single team. Yeah it is Craig Bigio hit twenty nine times by the Rockies pitchers. Yeah, boy, whoa out of the day.

00:37:01
Speaker 7: Start of the day, start of the day, start to day.
