  Speaker 1: Car accident you need ramos Law medical doctor and attorney
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: ramas Law dot com. Happy to be joined after Trevon
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Brazil's thirty two point Summer League night yesterday by the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: head coach of USC but his former head coach at Arkansas,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Eric Musselman, joins US coach Musselman, thank you so much
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: for the time. First of all, how you doing.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: I'm doing great. Thanks for having me on.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, we do want to ask you about this because
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the Nuggets are in a place we're looking for some
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: players who can contribute. And the game last night from
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Trevon Brazil, your former player, thirty two points. He was
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: six to twelve from three. He's super athletics, six foot ten.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: What can you tell us that maybe Nuggets fans don't
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: know about Trevon Brazil.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I would say that, you know, if you
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: look at his twenty two to twenty three season, he
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: played nine games that year and averaged eleven point eight
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: points and six rebounds in one point two blocks. And
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: he only played nine games that year because in December
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: he tore his ACL in his right knee and he
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: was a guy. That team had four pros three to
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: one and dons in Nick Smith, Anthony Black, Jordan Walsh,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: and also Ricky Counsel who played in the NBA and
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Barry Dunning who's currently playing for Portland in Vegas in
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: the NBA Summer League. So really five pros and TB.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: When he got hurt, we felt he was as valuable
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: as any guy on that roster, and actually we were
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: getting calls from NBA teams that were looking at him
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: as a first round draft pick. He was a sophomore
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: that year, came off of a great year with Missouri.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: As a freshman, he averaged six and five and one
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: point nine blocks in just twenty one minutes at Missouri,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: and then we were fortunate enough to get him as
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: a sophomore. And at that point, prior to that knee injury,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: from a talent standpoint, there were a lot of NBA
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: teams that thought that he could, you know, could be
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: potential first round draft pick. So I think Denver got
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: a steal when they drafted him in the second round
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: this year. You know, the twenty three to twenty four season,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: he was still kind of regaining his confidence coming off
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: that injury, but last night.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: You know, I watched the entire game.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: You could see the great separation that he got on
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: picking pops and pick and roll actions. He's a real
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: mismatch because he has some some three man skill levels
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: as far as being able to pass, dribbles, shoot. He's
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: a great offensive rebounder. You could see Oklahoma City they
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: had to change their coverages and they went to a
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: switch because Mara couldn't really guard.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Him on picking pops.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: And then he did a great job Brazil did reading
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: the switch and hit another.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Three against him.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: You could see in the on his you know when
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: he leaked out and had the windmill dunk. You could
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: see the athleticism and then the shot clock awareness on
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: side out of bounds to hit at court. Yeah, shot
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: basically at the end of the half. So he showcased
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: his bounce game and off the dribble game. And he's
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: gonna He's gonna be a guy that can contribute.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: At the NBA level for sure.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Coach, we know he can shoot six to twelve from three.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: He could certainly jump in. Great athlete. Where do you
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: think he could use some refinement for the NBA game.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Well, I think that all players that are going into
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: their rookie year, you know, have growth to grow. I
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: think the one area for everybody, especially incoming rookies, is
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: you know, being a consistent three point shooter. You know,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: a guy like TV, you can see the uh, he's
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: got a really good looking shooting stroke, like his followed
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: through is great, the backspins great.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: But at the NBA level, you know.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Consistency becomes super super important, and like I said, I
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: think that's with all rookies. And then the biggest thing
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: is like the player identity for TV, like where will
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: you know the Nuggets play him? Is it at like
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: a natural four spot? Last year he played or last
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: night he played some small ball five and you could
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: see that it was a real matchup problem for Mara
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: to try to guard him. And then I also think
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: he's got some three man skills as well, because he
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: can slide his feet for someone his size, defensively lateral
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: at an elite level. So it's really trying to figure out,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: like a lot of these younger players, is what's his
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: true player identity and then you know, how does that
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: fit in with the with the scheme. But it certainly
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: seems like he's really really happy that that Denver drafted
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: him and feels like that's a great spot for him.
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: He's going to get a real opportunity here because they're
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: going to need to fill out that roster and that
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: and obviously play some young guys. But coach, I guess
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: I was surprised that. Okay, then Nuggets say here's a
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: four year contract. So clearly, even though that first game
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: we didn't see a whole lot from him, they've been
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: seeing things in practice and in.
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: Preparation to say, hey, here for your deal.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: Were you surprised that that that happened that quickly or
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: did you think that that was the natural progression of
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: where he is and how he's supposed to fit with
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: the Nuggets.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: You know, I felt like anybody that would draft him
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: once they're around him and they see, you know, day
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: after day, whether it's a summer league practice or a
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: couple of summer league games or and I know he
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: had the shoulder thing and missed the you know, the
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: first game or whatever, or miss a game in summer league.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: But not a surprise, because you know, even though he's
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: played in college for several years, he his upside, you know.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: To me is so so intriguing.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: You know, some guys, you know, have a ceiling that
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: that they're really not going to be able to bust through.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: But but Brazil's different.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Like he he's NBA first round talent for sure. And
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: you know, I mentioned our twenty two twenty three season
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: he averaged eleven point eight points and on that same team,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Anthony Black, who was a lottery pick, averaged twelve.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Point eight points.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: So you know, to me, he he really is an
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: NBA first round talent. Now, it's just being in an organization,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: you know, that gives him confidence And obviously.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: For any rookie, minutes become super super important as well.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: And role and who you're playing next to and how
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: the veterans accept you. All those things play a lot
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: into a player having a great successful rookie season.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Coach of USC and former coach of Arkansas and or
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Trevon Brazil, Eric Musselman with US and coach, let me
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: ask you this, because we're in the radio business. We
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: reach out to people all the time. Sometimes people say yes,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: sometimes they know they say no. The director of ops
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: for US, he reached out to us wondering if we
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: wanted to have you on, and we were like, absolutely,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: what is it that made you want to reach out
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: and talk about TV maybe as a person? What do
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: you like about him?
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, I like, there's a ton of things.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: One just the adversity of him overcoming, you know, a
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: knee injury because the twenty three to twenty four season,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: you know, we felt kind of like as a coaching
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: staff that you know, maybe from a confidence standpoint, he
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: had to regain that he was super close with the
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Arkansas and he's still the Arkansas trainer Matt Townsend.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: It was really super super cool to.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: See the relationship between those two guys as far as
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: the time that was put in at nine o'clock at night,
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: ten o'clock at night, early in the morning, and to
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: see a player battle back from an acl and see
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: it on a daily basis, and the work that he
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: did with the strength coach at the time, Dave Richardson.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: You know, is cool to see.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: And then and then for us, you know, like this
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: was before he had the big game, you know, because
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: we have great.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Belief in his talent.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: As I know, you know, coach Caliperi did a phenomenal
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: job putting TV in a position to get drafted and
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: and the way that Arkansas played, you know, with Brazil
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: the last two years and coach cal and the surrounding
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: pieces have really helped him grow as a player as well.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Coach last one for me, your your work ethic, your longevity,
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: your exuberance is unreal.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what. I don't know what
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: you used to wake up in.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: The moment I think saying you've been around coach, the
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: guy is obviously at the you're sixty one, correct.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Coach, I'm sixty one exactly.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: You've coached so many different teams in so many different leagues,
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: so many different players, and you're still waking up wanting
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: to do this thing. It's it's unmatched in my opinion,
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: these coaches that do this. So I'm gonna here's a
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: quick set of trivia questions. I'm gonna name a player
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: and let's test your memory. You name what team that
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: player played for when you coach you ready, yep, all right,
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Keith Smart former Indiana player?
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Or was rapid Rapid City thrillers.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: Fennas Denbo Those in Denver may remember fash Yeah.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: That's an easy one. Rapid City Thrillers, Rapid.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: City Thrillers, Baby Wayne Tinkle just a great name. I
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: just love the name Wayne Tinkle.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and Wayne Tinkle was you know, he's been head college, Yes,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Oregon State, Yes to a great NCAA tournament.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Rapid City.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Thriller again, Rapid City perhaps, are you just going down
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the red.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: I know, I know, but he coached Rapid City for
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: like five years and I can't believe some of the
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: names that he had on these rosters.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: That's what that's what's amazing to me. This guy coached
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the guy we heard last night, Jeremy Lynn. You coached
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Jeremy Lynn, and Jeremy Lynn went on a great success
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: with the Knicks on that run. What team were you
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: coaching when you coach.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Jeremy Jeremy Lynn Reno Big Horns, and he was sent
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: down from the Golden State Warriors to work on his
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: point guard skills. And you know, he was a hard,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: dribbled drive right hand guy, but really struggled at the
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: point guard position going left and that was one of
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: the things we worked on in the G League with
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: him in Reno. And he did a great job last
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: night as a broadcaster.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: He did.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: So let me ask you regarding Jeremy how does that happen.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: How does a guy go from Harvard to the Reno
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: Big Horns to all of a sudden on Broadway for
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: that one month stretch where he's on top of the
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: world and couldn't miss. How does that happen?
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Well, that's like one in a million stories that you
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: could go, like from the G League and then in
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: a very very short time turned into a worldwide star.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Because that's what happened over that you know, month, month
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: and a half period. But you know he Jeremy did
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: one thing that was like phenomenal, well really two things.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: He was a great dribble driver and he could get
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: by people, and he was an unbelievable rebounder slash loose
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: ball getter, like elite, elite even at the NBA level.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: You know, he could do those two things so well.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: And then he just like he's a super super confident guy.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: And even like you know, when you're watching him as
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: a broadcaster, I think that was his first broadcast last night. Yeah,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: you know, as far as doing a game, he's done
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: in studio or whatever, but even even last night, you
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: could tell how confident he was as a broadcaster.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Coach Eric Musselman with US last thing for you, coach,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: and I appreciate your time and your insights on Trevor
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Brazil and everything else. I got to ask you, though,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: for a guy in your position, you're very successful college coach.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: You've been in the game for a while. You've seen
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the transition transfer portal nil era is coaching now in
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: college athletics. Is it more difficult in frustrating or is
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: it more challenging and reinvigorating to try and find a
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: new way of going about business all of the above.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: Gotcha, I can imagine, Yeah, it is.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: It is challenging. Name, image and likeness changes things. You
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: know before we've been in this new landscape. You know,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: when you coach in the NBA, which obviously you know
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: my experience in Golden State and Sacramento and then being
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: an assistant in Orlando, Atlanta and Memphis.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: You're doing all basketball.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: You're doing skill development with players, you're practicing, you're game prepping.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: As a college coach, even ten years ago, you know,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: the coaching aspect was a part of your job, along
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: with a whole bunch of other stuff. But now when
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: you when you when you kind of add in the name,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: image and likeness, balancing you know, a roster. From a
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: financial standpoint, fundraising, all those type of things have made
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: the job, you know, even more different and taken away
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: a little bit more of the.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Basketball piece, you know, which is interesting.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Why you know, maybe a guy like Dusty May you know,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: leaves a place like Michigan. I can't speak for him,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: but but you could see how a coach given that
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: opportunity and that age would would would look to go
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: coach at the professional level.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: I got one more for you because I called his
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: high school games.
• 13:34

  Speaker 1: I did. I told you like, I was supposed to
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: get off to a feature. I didn't know what a
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: feature meant. And then featuring ment just talk about the
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: thing that we're talking about, and I just I paused
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: for it felt like eight minutes, but it was like
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: and hands was no help at all.
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: He just stared at me.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: I was like, hey, he was laughing at me. He
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: was just making fun of me.
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: Last night. I love it.
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: That great stuff he speaking of.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Just real quick. I have become like maybe it's just
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: through osmosis because my wife watches every College World Series
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: game Women's College World Series game. Do you think the
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: softball thing is something that can pick up or not
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: this new professional women's softball league, Because I look this up.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I was wondering how much they got paid. I still
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: don't know. I can't figure it out, but it looks
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: like anywhere from like forty to forty five thousand.
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: I think women's sports is growing a lot.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: I don't doubt any sports at this yeah.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: But I think softball it's just I told I say
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: this every year. Now, Like, if you guys don't watch
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: the women's College World Series, do it. The games are
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: like an hour and fifteen minutes. They move quick. Either
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: watched it are incredibly good, like they're fun to watch.
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: I watched in it for me. This is for me now.
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: I watched an extraordinary amount of women's college softball this postseason.
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and I can't get over.
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: I mean, well, the talent is there, obviously you're playing
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: at the highest level, but these pitchers are wicked. They
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: are Now, I tell you what I would find more
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: joy in it.
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: This is me personally.
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: If they moved the mound back about eight feet.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Give give the hitters eight feet motion.
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: No, we'll give the hitters an opportunity to put the
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: bat on the ball because these the best pitchers who
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: can really deal.
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: Unhittable. Well, i'll tell you what I'm talking about, an
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: eer of zero point twenty six.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: There's one one thing I love about softball. They have
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: to play a clean game. There's if you bobble a ball,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: they're safe. Like you have to be clean in everything
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: that you do. Interesting, So is that starting tonight?
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: Thin?
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Because what you're talking about that you said the talents
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: or what were the teams that you just mentioned.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: Game that's on tonight.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: It's just a game, okay. I don't know if it's
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: like the open to their season or something like that.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: So I have some I have some intel guys on.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: So the Nuggets have three roster spots they still need
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: to fill. I'm hearing that Bruce Brown probably won't fill
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: one of those spots.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Through Bruce Brown's doing or the Nuggets not asking him,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: And I'm hearing that David Roddy may not fill one
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: of those spots, even though I know he's a fan
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: favorite here. I played well in that San Antonio game,
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: So those three roster spots, barring something crazy, may go elsewhere.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: I still think they need another ball handler right now.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: The two ball handlers on the team Jamal Murray and
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: Tyas Jones.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Does this include kJ Simpson on a two way?
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: No?
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: No, kJ is obviously an option.
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's interesting.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: The other thing too, the more I think about it, Fellas.
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: With this Lebron James stuff.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna read something to you.
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: I think it's either gonna be Cleveland or Philadelphia at
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: this point, and that's it.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: I've said I'm not gonna waiver often. I'm sticking with Philly.
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and a couple of reasons why. And I didn't
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: realize it until I read it. Philly, their guy, Tyrese
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: Maxey is making an all out plea. He's on a
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: campaign to get Lebron there. So what did Tyresse and
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: Lebron have in common? Well, Tyrese Maxey is clutch sports.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Is there anybody who's not clutch sports? How many people
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: it'd be easier to make a list of not clutch
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: sports basketball players?
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a clutch sports guy, And it just looks
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: more obvious to me that that partnership would would go
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: longer than anything else. And the other thing I'm reading,
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: I mean Sean Keeler's piece today in the Denver Post,
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: and he made such a good point the more I
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: think about it. So Lebron's already said in his final year,
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: this could be it forty one, going to be forty two.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: He is going to bring with him a camera team
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: to document.
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: The season, I mean the entire the entire year. Yeah.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: So I'm gonna read from Sean Keeler's column in the
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: Post this morning, and he makes a valid point here
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: quote can you picture Nikola Jokic for being comfortable with
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: camera crews that aren't his hanging around everywhere to chronicle
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: his every move in the Nuggets locker room or on
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: the bench. I just I just don't see that connection.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: I don't see it.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: Maybe I'm wrong, and who knows, I could be, But
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: I just don't see that dynamic. Are you mean those
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: two playing together or what those two playing together and
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: that dynamic working.
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: Of where the camera is around in the Nuggets.
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: You know, he's as private as they come. He does
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: his media, He's very responsible for that. He never skips
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: a beat. But do you think he's gonna want cameras
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: following the Nuggets everywhere they go?
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: I don't think so.
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: And where are we talking on the team plane and
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: team hotels and everything.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: Who's who's who's gonna stop Lebron from Yeah?
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: I see, I wouldn't.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: I I don't. I Look, I know people are gonna
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: make this.
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: There's gotta be some certain sanctuaries where players can just
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: be themselves and not worry about being videoed.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: All the time. Hang on a second. I know people
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: are gonna make this out to Lebron being self indulgent
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: and like, sure he is. Landy had a whole camera
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: crew following him on his comeback to I mean that
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: happened different circumstances, but that did happen. But they were
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: in the locker room. They were just a little but
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: a little bit.
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: It was.
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: It was mostly Landy and just as himself, just his
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: own rehabs and doctors and all that sort of thing.
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: It wasn't It wasn't a ton of you're not on
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: the team plane.
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: You're not. You know you're not. I understands you're not.
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: But all this.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Guys they have an entire documentary called Quarterback on Netflix,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: which has cameras falling around like four different quarterbacks of
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: an NFL. I don't think guys are as bothered about
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: that stuff.
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: Well, but is a different cat man.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: He's he doesn't have to interact with the cameras.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: They're just I understand that. But if you like, if
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: you ask Nicola, I trust me.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: We've asked him.
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: Numerous times, i'd probably say you wouldn't want it.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I asked him. I said, hey, dude, I'm gonna
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: come and see you in Ensembor this summer. And he
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: looked at me sharply and said, you will not find me.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: And it's basically he doesn't it's not true want this.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I'll follow the sound of the music at night to
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: whatever bar is playing live music.
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna I'm just gonna post up at the Harness
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: track and I know you're gonna be there at some point.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: It's interesting though, because he doesn't want that attention. But
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: personally he's so affable. I told you the story of
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: two Denver fans who decided to go to Somboor. They
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: were in Serbia. They said, let's just go to Sombor
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: see if we can find Nkola Jok's house. Not only
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: did they find it, this happened about a month ago,
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: by the way. Not only did they find his house,
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: they found Nicola hanging out there.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: He invited them up.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: Took pictures, and took the two guys to his horse
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: stables to show him around.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: They hung out for like two hours. I'm gonna say
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: something that is incredibly kind nice of Nicola Yokis to
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: do that. Secondly, Joker, don't ever do that again. Those
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: could be psychos. Leave them on the outside, keeping me
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: on the fence.
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: I think he's he He's got a good sensibility of
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: who's who, Like when he probably spotted you in the
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: Nuggets' locker room after they won the championship and everybody's partying,
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: probably looked at you and said.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Hell's that probably did. But I was in there for
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: an hour and a half before he was there, so
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: it was weird. We're in there, We're looking around, like,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: where's Joker. Everybody's dancing, throwing champagne everywhere, and Joker's nowhere
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: to be found in the pool.
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: No, he he was like with his daughter outside hanging out.
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: Would you say, Brett and you're young, in your in
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: your climb here. You have a lot of career left.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Us, old guys. What you think I'm thinking about which coffin.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna pick here?
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Would you consider that?
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: Brett Alan?
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, Oh that's the MVP trophy.
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: No, it's the normal trophy.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's the normal one.
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: And I was trying to hand it to you and
• 33:09
  Speaker 7: you didn't want it, and someone handed it to me
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: and I it was a lot heavier than I thought.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Allan, I don't remember you in that room.
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: Did you were you remember you being in there? You you?
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: You weren't all there?
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: No.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: I smoked like three stogies in it in five minutes
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: and I was just flying.
• 33:25
  Speaker 7: So I grabbed one off the floor and I just
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: held it because I thought it looked cool. But I
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: didn't smoke it.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: What we did to that locker room, I mean it
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: was it's illegal.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: It's illegal what we did. I still remember I had it,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: and I go where do I ask this? And somebody
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: goes on the ground.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: Did you ever feel, guys, be honest, did you feel,
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: because I know I did, Like, why am I even here?
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: This is their? No?
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: I like, this is their? What what are we doing.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Why are we here?
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: Ironed it much work.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: I've put in for that championship. I deserved to be
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: in there? What are you talking about?
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: In fact, I've been on the offensive.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: The guys like Ben Stiller get to do stuff like this,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: and me and you.
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: Hear different from different people. And I mean this with
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: us sincerity. So we got rings, right, we got a championship.
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: Bring.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: I don't think we deserved ring. We did nothing to win.
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: Really really, I don't understand that.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: I don't understand, really don't.
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: I don't. I don't get it. What did we do?
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: Moses?
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: No, No, you're you're right. We didn't. We didn't do anything.
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: I think for myself, I got there, But as the
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: as some players get there, I'm getting there, you know.
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: So I I did my part.
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: What what's your part?
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: I got there early and I left late. That's my part.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest. I completely disagree with vic. I'm
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: actually kind of offended that my name's not on the cup.
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: Well, I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what it was.
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: So it was so cool because.
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: I think it's wrong.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, part of me is like, what is this?
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: What's going on?
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: Charlotte Graham is all over that Stanley Cup and we're
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: in Tampa and the cups sitting there, Da da da,
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: and she says to me, pick it up. I'm like,
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: but I didn't. She said pick it up. She's I'm like, okay,
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: so I did. Got it over my head.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: That's all you need to do, though, really it.
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: Was, dude, It's one of the most incredible moments of
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: my life.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: As long as you do this, this is all you
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: have to do. As long as you stay on the
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: front end. I don't deserve to do this. And if
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: you get the.
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: Follow up, please do Okay, dude, you don't you I
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: know we're over. You have to understand the reverence I
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: have for that that piece of hardware. Okay, as a
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: hockey guy, I mean reverence for that.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Ma I okay.
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: And so I said I can't, no, no, no, and
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: she's like, pick it up.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: I'm like, you got to say, I'm gonna say mine.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: The greatest sports moment of my life, like that dealt
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: with sports, was when I was sitting there on the
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: steps of the City and County building, overlooking that crowd
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: at the Nuggets parade and I'm sitting there looking at
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: all the people saying, I cannot believe that we have
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: all these people in Denver to celebrate a Nuggets championship,
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: which I thought was impossible for most of my life.
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: I just couldn't believe it when I was looking at that,
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: and it's to this day, I almost can't believe it.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Picture to me, I remember saying that I almost got
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: teary eyed. I was like, this is crazy, it's interesting, unbelievable.
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: It's insane. I mean, just all the special memories. I
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: know we're way over, but drinking beers, well, Andrew he
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: drinking beers on that set, when Andrew Heels encouraging, encouraging
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: people to throw beers up for me to slam on.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: It's an unbelievable in Denver.
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: Seven in altitude. I mean, just every part of that
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: was spectacular. And obviously I was not nearly as connected
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: to the Nuggets because while that's our brother and I'm
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: not to work for the Nuggets, that's just an incredible picture.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: A ton still to get to. This morning, we get
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: oh by the way, next, Oh by the way stories
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: around sports in the world. We feel like you should
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: be aware of the artist formerly known as the British Open.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: We'll start tomorrow the Open in a very weird press
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: conference leading up to the tournament starting, and we'll start
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: with Scottie Scheffler, who was asked about legacy and what
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: that means to him.
• 37:39
  Speaker 9: Can I ask you? You mentioned history? You know, we're
• 37:42
  Speaker 9: all gonna die someday and all that kind of stuff.
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: Sorry, no, it's true, but I gonna be a quote
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: a for this year, last years?
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: What's the point? And this year we're all gonna die?
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: What are you gonna do next year? Darker?
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: So stop right there. He was answering a question and
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: he said, well, I don't really care, like I'm gonna be.
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: Dead, it's about his legacy.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And then Rory came to the microphone and
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: this happened.
• 38:08
  Speaker 9: How concerned are you with your legacy past when you'll
• 38:11
  Speaker 9: be on this earth? How considered you with how you'll
• 38:13
  Speaker 9: be viewed in a hundred years? Do you think about
• 38:15
  Speaker 9: that kind of thing? Does it matter to you since
• 38:17
  Speaker 9: you won't be here? I mean, what how does that go?
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: No?
• 38:22
  Speaker 8: I don't really care. You know, I would like to
• 38:26
  Speaker 8: think that the people that love and care about me
• 38:30
  Speaker 8: think a certain way of me. But yeah, I'll be
• 38:34
  Speaker 8: I'll be long gone. I'll be dead.
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 38:39
  Speaker 8: I don't think I'll be seeing what people say about me.
• 38:43
  Speaker 8: I'll be six feet under. I don't think I'll be
• 38:45
  Speaker 8: a ghost. I don't think i'll be you know, like
• 38:47
  Speaker 8: I I yeah, I don't care.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what are we doing here?
• 38:55
  Speaker 6: Dark? What are we doing?
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: I honestly eralists out there. I think the legacy question
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: is one of the dumbest things you're gonna ask an athlete,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: because they are what are they gonna say? I hope
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: everybody thinks I'm awesome forever.
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: No exactly, but can I can I expand on that
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: a little bit? Today's young golfers say Bobby Jones, Who
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: Sam Snead, Who Ben Hogan? What Ben Crenshaw for crying
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: out loud? Like these guys are all forgotten people did
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: today don't know, they don't know, they're all forgotten. And
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: these were there Tigers and Rory's of their day. I
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: mean it's some of the best players.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: You're just like, oh, Sam Sneid, Yeah he was really good.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: That's just kind of how you do it.
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, see, I'm with you on this. The legacy thing
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: can be tarnished and changed I mean, you have no
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: control of your legacy, right, you can just live someone else.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Someone else's narrative controls your legacy. Another thing that happened,
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: speaking of the open we don't have to play the
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: audio brand Yeah, I just want to say, chambla Brando Chamblain.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: He obviously has it out for anybody who's ever participated
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: in a live event.
• 40:09
  Speaker 7: Ever.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Oh and he hates Bryson to Shamba and as Vic,
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: you're a journalist who used to be a journalist. You
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: are a journalist whatever you want to call it, but
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: you used to be on the news as somebody who's
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: sitting in that TV chair as you're talking about you're
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: covering an athlete for an event on the the TV channel.
• 40:28
  Speaker 6: He's almost he's also a former pro player.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: I understand, but he says, quote, it's almost like Bryson
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: went from chasing Scotty and Rory to chasing Grant Horvat.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: It's like he wants to outdo every YouTuber in the
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: game instead of outplay everybody in the game of golf.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Can he just like, is that okay? An for an
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: analyst like him in his role to continually bash just
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: somebody that he very clearly hates for the channel that's
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: supposed to be covering the event. He's paid to offer
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: his opinion.
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: You sound like those NBA softies who don't like inside
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: the NBA because Mark Lee and Shack and Canny bash
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: players all the time.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: I love those guys. It's their opinion. Man.
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: You may not like it, you may think it's over
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: the top, but that's what he's paid to do. Brandal
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: Chamblee is paid by the Golf Channel to offer his
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: opinion on players and the tours and all that goes
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: with golf.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: So what's the problem.
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: No.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Here's the difference, though, is that whenever something happens in golf,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: I'm told it's the gentleman's game. I'm told everybody's got
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: to there's a certain code of conduct that you need
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: to adhere to, and if you don't adhere to that
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: code of conduct, then you're a giant jerk who doesn't
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: respect the game. When Chuck does that, it's basketball.
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: You're talking bleep, you're overthinking. Okay, gotch let me get
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: one for you here. What would you pay for? Collection
