00:01:16
Speaker 3: Oh, would you like a quick recap of hour one?

00:01:18
Speaker 4: For sure?

00:01:19
Speaker 3: Alrighty? The superstar you'd most want to play with Luka Doncik, Shay Gilges, Alexander Nikola, Jokic or Victor Wemban Yama Forty four percent say wemby m I, followed by Jokic. And then I threw this one out there. Which of the NFL international games would you most want to attend based on the food of the city? Thirty eight percent say Madrid, followed by thirty four percent for Perie.

00:01:45
Speaker 2: I have been to Australia. I have been to Rio, I've been to London. I've been to Paris, haven't been to Madrid, haven't been to Munich, been to Mexico City. Those are the games that have been revealed. Adam Schefter had this earlier. Is this all of the internet games?

00:02:00
Speaker 5: PAULI?

00:02:01
Speaker 6: I think that's it.

00:02:01
Speaker 2: Okay, because we're going to get to the point where every team will play an international game, and that's when we get to eighteen and then that's going to be sold as an international package. I've been telling you this for the last couple of years, that this is where we're headed. Eighteenth game, everybody is going to play an international game. They want teams to have a hub headquarters. That's that's our town, that's our city, that's our country.

00:02:30
Speaker 7: They want that.

00:02:31
Speaker 2: You got Melbourne, you got the Rams and the Niners. You got the Cowboys and Ravens in Rio de Janeiro. Weeks four through six. In London, it'll be Colts, Commanders, Eagles, Jags, and then the Texans in the Jags. Week seven you'll have Paris that will be the Saints and the Steelers. Week nine Madrid that will be the Bengals and the Falcons. Week ten be the Lions in the Patriots in Munich, and then week eleven the Niners and Vikings in Mexico. Citty, let's see one in Miami. Hi Wan, what's on your mind today?

00:03:12
Speaker 8: Hi Dan?

00:03:13
Speaker 9: How are I'm calling from Miami? I see they released the NSL international schedule, and I see the Jaguars are playing twice in Europe and Miami got nothing. So what did the Jaguars do during the day of all did they just explore the different cities, are just curious. Thank you.

00:03:28
Speaker 2: Well, they'll stay there in London, they'll be there for a couple of weeks and just you know, stay acclimated to the time change. But get ready for more of this. This is what the NFL wants. The NFL wants expansion, and expansion is not necessarily with games. That's not why they're all in on flag football. They want flag football. The NFL to be associated with flag football and vice versa. That's why they wanted in the Olympics. Because you can build globally flag football with the NFL logo on that. It'd be hard for a lot of these different regions in the world to be able to get the equipment, you know, just the money to have a football team or football teams or leagues. This way, with flag football, you don't need anything. You need a football field, you need flags, and you need a football. That's it. That's what the NFL. The globalization because baseball has this. Baseball has globalization, whether it's in the Dominican Republic or it's in Puerto Rico, or it's in Japan, Korea. The NBA has this as well. There's going to be an NBA europe League. That's going to be happening very soon. Then they'll be in the big cities talking to somebody who his job is to bring two parties together to sell portions of teams, whether it's baseball, football, basketball, soccer, and he was saying that these price tags for these European cities to get a European and NBA europe franchise are going to surprise a lot of people of how much they're going to spend.

00:05:08
Speaker 7: Yes, Paul.

00:05:09
Speaker 6: The other bonus for the NFL with these European games now they have another window. They found that nine to thirty am Eastern window. Even though it's wonky and you're like, you're not ready for football yet, it's another window. On a Sunday they have live NFL.

00:05:23
Speaker 2: The London games never look exciting. I don't know what it is. You did it just they look slower. Maybe the grass is a little higher, I don't know. It's just weird when I watch a London game, I don't know the last time I went man, was that a shootout or wow?

00:05:41
Speaker 7: That was that was the best game of the day.

00:05:44
Speaker 10: Yes, Mark, you have the locals wearing like Troy Aikman Jerseys, saying, NFL.

00:05:50
Speaker 2: Or you get Rob Low where he has just l logo on his hats all the teams, Yes, Dylan, I mean you are all.

00:06:00
Speaker 3: Watching the Jags in the London game, so that could contribute to.

00:06:03
Speaker 7: The slow look. Okay, but now it's a new look Jags.

00:06:08
Speaker 5: True.

00:06:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, so maybe those games will be exciting, But so is that what you're saying.

00:06:12
Speaker 3: Basically, how the Jags have basically conquered London. They're going to try and do that with other So each team's going to have their own hubs internationally, Yes.

00:06:21
Speaker 2: But this, you know, leading up to this the last couple of years, I think there was a lot of speculation that could Jacksonville, you know, move there, And I think this is the NFL's way of saying, no, we don't want to have a team in a designated city or country. We want to share the wealth with the rest of the world. I mean, the fact you're going to Melbourne. Okay, it's a long way to go and how many fans will be able to go, but it might be really big, you know, with rugby in Melbourne, and that you're going to get a great audience to show up. You want to make sure you're filling those seats. Yes, deal, Yeah, and they have.

00:07:05
Speaker 3: Like Austie Rules football there, like that's probably a market primed for it.

00:07:09
Speaker 7: I would think yeah, I would think so.

00:07:11
Speaker 2: And you could go out there and you're gonna have demonstrations. Maybe you could play a rugby game for the media when they come over there. Maybe you could get publicity. I mean, the NFL, it's hard to screw up. It's like March Madness. It's hard to screw it up. Like they'll somehow figure it out or they'll move past some kind of problem and we'll watch.

00:07:35
Speaker 5: Yeah. Deal.

00:07:36
Speaker 3: Have they been able to quantify much of like a true fan based growth in London for the Jags, because like they've played there enough years now you'd think that would have started to develop. But you, like Marvin said, you look in the audience and you're like, oh, it's a Michael Crabtree jersey. Like there's just all random.

00:07:52
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:07:52
Speaker 7: I don't know.

00:07:53
Speaker 2: With the love affairs, especially in that part of the country. They love their soccer. But you know when you show up and you're not wearing a jersey of somebody who's actually on the team, that you're out there watching. Uh, maybe it's just the novelty of being able to go to see American football in person.

00:08:11
Speaker 6: Yes, it feels like the NFL thinks of Europe and those other countries, like, why not let's do this over the course of decades because we've maxed out America. There's not a place in America where they're not aware of the NFL. Why not go international?

00:08:24

SARKISIAN i am A usc, fan AND i seem to Remember sarkesian in one game needing to call up to the booth and have his Ad Pat hayden come down and do one of his arguments for, him BECAUSE i think at the time he may have been a little.

00:10:33
Speaker 7: USC i just don't know where.

00:11:01
Speaker 2: Together and Then Steve starkesian bringing up basket weaving At Old? Miss do we know what was said for him to then say? That Like Lane kiffen did a four hour interview with The Vanity fair and you, know there was a topic on recruiting and he got around, to, hey you KNOW i had to deal with the parents and grandparents not wanting to come here because of the racial past Of Old. Miss Did Lane kiffen volunteer that he tried to change? That like you can be critical Of Old. Miss did you change.

00:11:38
Speaker 5: It in any?

Speaker 2: Do they didn't do, Anything it's, like and Then Lane kiffin gave the, hey if you were bothered by, THIS i apologize not understanding why people might be bothered by. This maybe diversity would have been a little better word than. Segregation Martin Luther kiffin, here come, on they both had a. Dream, yeah his dream was to make a boatload of money and go TO lsu and then blame old miss along the.

00:17:35
Speaker 7: Telecast how are you doing, Today James?

00:17:40
Speaker 5: Dan how are, you? Buddy always good to see, you.

00:17:43
Speaker 2: Brother when did you know this season was going to be shaky for The lakers or they might not have championship?

00:17:51
Speaker 14: ASPIRATIONS i think you, know right before The All Star, game before The All star, break you, KNOW i had doubt because the, chemistry you, know hadn't arrived. Yet you, know everybody has. INJURIES i don't really say that was a major, part but you, know Having luca come, in he had a half a season last, year they didn't really develop the cohesiveness that they they. Needed but After All Star, break, okay they made a surge AND i think they found their. IDENTITY jj had enrolled them into defense. First but when you look at the makeup of the, team you, KNOW i didn't see championship, quality you, know, EVER i saw a team that could. Compete but when you look At, Oklahoma San, antonio you, Know, detroit some of the other teams That lakers just had not arrived there. Yet there were still some missing, pieces are some development that need to take.

00:19:01
Speaker 2: Place, okay but moving, forward let's say next, season do you just kind of run it back with the same guys that you're going to have, to you, know spend money On, lebron spend money On Austin. Reeves do you bring Back Ayton luca hopefully will be. Healthy so what would your solution be for The lakers approach next.

00:19:22
Speaker 5: SEASON i think they definitely need to make some.

00:19:25
Speaker 14: CHANGES i don't think you could run it back with the Same you Know Western conference teams that are going to get, Stronger minnesota is going to get. STRONGER i think one of the things that was lacking was in the center. POSITION i Think ayton is a is a great. PLAYER i don't know if consistently what we, need what any team needs is A hartstein Like, oklahoma not necessarily a, star but you need a. Bruiser you need somebody that can say AND i think The lakers will be looking at that. AREA i LIKE i Like. Hayes he was a backup, center SO i like his. ENERGY i think The lakers are very interested in Keeping Austin, reeves although you know he would be a guy that would teams would want if you were looking to make a big. MOVE i think the big question is going to be what's Then lebron's decision going to be and is he going to come, back how much he's going to play? For AND i think that's THE i think that's the question of the.

00:20:34
Speaker 2: Summer you don't want to run into a situation like The steelers have With Aaron, rodgers where you're kind.

00:20:39
Speaker 7: Of waiting and waiting and waiting.

00:20:42
Speaker 2: Out like when is the point where The lakers can, Say, lebron we need to know what you want to do so we can move forward as.

00:20:49
Speaker 5: Well it's been a couple of, days a few.

00:20:53
Speaker 14: DAYS i would hope that they, are you, know discussing those possibilities right now with the new ownership and the new you, know personnel that's coming in in the front. Office, uh it's it's not necessarily the the mom and pop approach that we're used to with families all and you. GET i think they're going to, demand you, know decision, uh and so that's yet to be, seen BUT i WOULD i, WOULD i would think you know that in the next you, know a couple of, weeks they want to, know, hey look what are your? Options you know what this is your you, know you're forty one years. Old what do you want to?

00:21:32
Speaker 5: Do first of?

00:21:33
Speaker 14: All and go from there because you, know time is valuable as they start to make these decisions about the future of The.

00:21:40
Speaker 2: Lakers talking To James, worthy hall Of famer and number one overall pick back in nineteen eighty two by The, lakers when did you get a sense That Michael jordan was better than?

00:21:51
Speaker 14: You, well you, KNOW i have that famous line THAT i you know. THAT i always quote tell PEOPLE i was a. Junior michael was a, freshman and you KNOW i. WAS i was better than he. Was you, know for about two WEEKS i. KNEW i knew, that you, know his freshman. Year you could you could tell something about a person's. Personality and he wasn't exactly like Like. Edwards you, know and ed was is he's on The olympic team talking.

00:22:24
Speaker 5: Trash he.

00:22:24
Speaker 14: Doesn't michael had, that and he always wanted to like challenge you like he wanted. To he KNEW i was the best guy on the, team so he wanted to play one on one all the. Time SO i knew about the first really about the first month of practice that this guy has something.

00:22:40
Speaker 2: Special when you go to The lakers and you have to accept a, ROLE i mean you could have played for you, know throw out a team and probably average twenty seven to twenty eight a game if you wanted. To but you have to kind of convince yourself or how do you convince. YOURSELF i might be the third option on this, team But i'm all a great team as opposed to being a star in the number one guy.

00:23:04
Speaker 14: Elsewhere, YEAH i MEAN i think a lot of that had to do with playing for a coach Like Dean, smith who he didn't care if you were the towel boy Or Michael, Jordan you're, gonna you, know submit to being the. Team and you, KNOW i had Met magic on a college visit In Michigan. STATE i Knew mitch Cup, CHET i Knew bob. McAdoo so WHEN i knew they were, INTERESTED i KNEW i wasn't. GONNA i wasn't gonna, start you. Know SO i knew the concept of. TEAMS i Knew kareem Abdul jabbar had played four years With john wood And Jamal wilkes had played four years With John. Wooden you, Know mitch Cup check four years With John. Wooden Pat riley coming from you, know an experience At. Kentucky SO i knew winning would, come BUT i also THOUGHT i could. START i came into training camp AND i you, KNOW i looked at, everybody AND i, mean you, know, Uh, Magic Norm.

00:24:02
Speaker 5: Nixon and and and and THEN i and THEN.

00:24:05
Speaker 14: I Saw Kirk ramas coming the, gym AND i, said this gathered like he had to showered in like a, week and he smells Like Ben.

00:24:14
Speaker 5: Gay he's got all this stuff.

00:24:16
Speaker 14: On he's got this duct tape holding his glasses, together AND i was, LIKE i can get that. Position i'm, QUICKER i can score well within five. Minutes Kirk rammers let me know what AN nba power forward. WAS i didn't want to have anything to do with.

00:24:30
Speaker 5: It.

00:24:31
Speaker 14: DAN i went over there and sit in my hands Behind bob McAdoo At Kirk rammers AND i. Waited, man he beat the crap out of him AND i couldn't take. It AND i became a small forward after.

00:24:41
Speaker 2: That you, know but teams back then had an, enforcer AND i was wondering about that With Victor. Windenyama you don't in today's. Game you don't have that Designated Charles. Oakleigh. Uh you, Know Jeff, ruling, like, guys we're going to rough you up a little bit. Here that Does San antonio need that kind of guy to help Protect Victor?

00:25:04
Speaker 7: Winbanyama you have to protect your.

00:25:07
Speaker 5: Asset, okay.

00:25:10
Speaker 9: We.

00:25:11
Speaker 14: Did we didn't even speak to each other after the. Game you, KNOW i see guys all hugging up after the game all the.

00:25:16
Speaker 5: Time we.

00:25:17
Speaker 14: Didn't you, know we might, point we'll see you at the restaurant or, something but you do have to protect your. Asset he should not have to, be, uh you, know the, enforcer although you know you gotta. Be you got to meet force with, force which he's he does and he's capable of someone on that team has, to you, know be the enforcer protect him from all that type of.

00:25:37
Speaker 2: Stuff can you Compare Victor winbanyama to Prime kareem when you got there with The?

00:25:44
Speaker 14: Lakers not, really you, Know, Uh victor is a unique. SPECIMEN i mean he's A Steph curry your shooter With Kobe bryant agility and you know defense Like Bill. Russell we've never seen anything like. It the way he. MOVES I i saw him bring the ball up the court maybe twenty times last, night spinning and he's a great assist guy we've never. Seen i'd like to see him at that aspect of his, game somewhere in the game where they would post him up Like. Kareem he thought it wouldn't even be a sky, hook it'd be a sky, dunk but he just. Dunked So but, yeah he's he's got many talents and he's going to get. Better he has he has the right, attitude he wants to win And, uh He's he's a, great great addition to THE nba for.

00:26:40
Speaker 2: Sure why is it more big men didn't adopt The kareem.

00:26:44
Speaker 14: Skyhook it's it's, odd, right you, know it's such a beautiful. Shot BUT i don't think people realize how difficult this shot. Was you, know there were many parts to. It it was it was, footwork it was it was, eyesight and it was. Timing you, Know, kareem he would look you off with his, eyes he would fake you with the, past and then he would step in with precision and and and you couldn't get to. It if if you tried to get to, it you would have your whole face reconstructed with that with that. Elbow so you, KNOW i think he tried to teach, guys but you, know it wasn't like you, know as as the game started to, evolve it wasn't. Pretty you, know guys wasn't posting. UP i don't even think guys do to know what the mic and drill is. Anymore But, kareem you, know that's the most beautiful.

00:27:36
Speaker 5: Shot.

00:27:37
Speaker 14: Uh and in, SPORTS i think it dominates the. DUNK i THINK i think it's more more beautiful and you know than than the dunk, itself.

00:27:46
Speaker 7: The most unstoppable shot IN nba, History.

00:27:50
Speaker 5: Yes without.

00:27:50
Speaker 14: QUESTION i, mean, uh you know When Larry bird got, hot you know that jump or, that But, kareem there was no stopping. It and had it had the counter to, it you, know he shoot forty nine scot hooks and then when you thought you had, it he drops step and shoot an easier lay.

00:28:05
Speaker 5: Up he was just a.

00:28:07
Speaker 14: Masterful and you, know for me being on the other side of the post and just watching it from, like you, know eight feet, AWAY i didn't realize WHAT i was watching until like right now When i'm talking to, you it's it's just. Science hopefully we'll see another shot like, That BUT i can't even think of a shot, that you, know compares to the skyhook that that will.

00:28:28
Speaker 2: Last every time that we have you, ON i always think back to you telling the story when you're in the garden and you're, guarding you're supposed to Guard larry and you lose sight of him and he's got the jumper in the corner to win the.

00:28:46
Speaker 7: Game, Yeah and did you ever talk To bird.

00:28:51
Speaker 2: About, LIKE i don't know how you, guys when you guys get, together do you swap stories do you, have you, KNOW i don't.

00:28:58
Speaker 14: Know never never talked To, bird you, know after after our last time. PLAYING i, MEAN i THINK i saw him at A hall Of. Fame we might have adapped up and, uh but we never talked about that.

00:29:10
Speaker 5: Play but, yeah that was A that was an awesome.

00:29:13
Speaker 14: PLAY i Had Larry bird at like the free throw line extended on the baseline And Danny ainge was in the corner And cooper was guarding.

00:29:25
Speaker 5: Him SO i thought it was gonna be some kind of. Picking we were gonna.

00:29:28
Speaker 14: Switch what happened is they Cleared Danny inge out baseline and And Larry bird pushed me up and they threw that ball.

00:29:37
Speaker 5: Over AND i got to tell, You, dan he doesn't. Miss he doesn't.

00:29:43
Speaker 14: Miss And i've never told anybody, this BUT i THINK i peed on myself a little bit when.

00:29:51
Speaker 6: When that.

00:29:51
Speaker 14: Ball when he got that, ball, MAN i was, like oh my, god. Damn AND i was, like but he missed. It he saw me. Coming he must seen his peripheric. VISION i don't know if that distracted. HIM i doubt that it, did but, yeah so there it, is. Man that Was that was a big.

00:30:09
Speaker 2: Moment could you have imagined What riley would have said to you If larry hits that, shot could you had your job is to make Sure larry doesn't beat.

00:30:19
Speaker 14: Us how many people have succeeded at? THAT i would have been added to the list of people that. Failed you, know it was a great. Play it was a great. Play and you know it's like you don't stop magic sky hook that many.

00:30:36
Speaker 5: Skyhook you, know you don't stop.

00:30:37
Speaker 14: Magic you don't Stop, michael you, know Against cleveland When craig had great defense on, him and you, know it was just a great. Play when they Cleared dannie, OUT i was on top side. Denying MAYBE i shouldn't have been, denying but When coop was down, there but when they Cleared danie, out it was nothing but. Space AND i would have blamed it on.

00:30:56
Speaker 2: Somebody how often do you See Michael?

00:31:02

00:32:23
Speaker 7: Announcer thank, You. James thank.

00:32:25
Speaker 2: You James, worthy three time champ with The lakers and studio analysts For Spectrum Sports. Net, yeah when he tells that story and you watch the video and he. Loses So Michael cooper's in the corner Guarding Danny, ainge And worthy thinks he's going to get help From. Cooper If bird gets the, Ball ainge clears. Out bird drifts to the, corner pushes. Off unworthy has a jumper and it rattles in and, out and that's When magic had the incredible hook shot. There and to be in the garden that day and to go into The lakers locker, room and that locker room was worse than any high school locker room That i've ever been.

00:33:09
Speaker 7: In there was no there was no luxury in.

00:33:15
Speaker 2: There it was and they probably had you, know lead paint in.

00:33:20
Speaker 7: There it was.

00:33:22
Speaker 2: Rare if they had hot, water they probably had as best as in. There AND i just remember it was so small to go in, there and so much champagne being sprayed. Around and THEN i went into The celtics locker. Room The celtics locker room is obviously, nicer BUT i remember going in, there and you, know they always were.

00:33:43
Speaker 7: Talking to the media after the.

00:33:45
Speaker 2: Game it's not like you didn't have a press conference back, then at LEAST i don't. Remember you'd have to go to locker room locker to locker to, locker AND i went To bird and. McHale i remember And bird talking about that. Shot AND i think that like the shot on his, face that he missed that. Shot he couldn't believe that he missed that. SHOT i, mean he doesn't miss that, shots you, know particularly in the. Garden BUT i do think That worthy might have Gotten larry, peripheral like just see him coming and maybe getting that shot off a little. Quicker but that Was magic hit the. Skyhook unbelievable and he shot at over two guys Who perish and, McHale and to get a skyhook over McHale who was six eleven seven feet and wingspan probably made him seven to. Eight And magic hit that. Shot and if you would have, said, hey The lakers won on a sky, hook you wouldn't have said. Magic but that's how incredible he. Was all, Right, well take a break when we come. Back THE pga. Draft, Okay, dylan are you handling?
