• 0:04
  Speaker 1: It's the Craigway Show with the voice of the Texas
• 0:08
  Longhorns and Hall of Vaine broadcaster Craig Way. All right,
• 0:15
  Cameron Parker, here's the pressing question of the day for you.
• 0:19
  It isn't about which fried food you might try at
• 0:23
  the State Fair. About Sark last night, Really down with
• 0:28
  a cotton candy bacon. Yeah, I believe that with that
• 0:31
  if it's a win, Really down with that. I had
• 0:33
  forgotten that it was a turkey leg he ate in
• 0:36
  the locker room. It wasn't frieda oreos. He expressed a
• 0:41
  desire for it. But as he said last night on
• 0:43
  the program which we were recording, and of course you
• 0:45
  can hear it tonight, Longhorn Weekly with Coach Sark at
• 0:49
  seven o'clock. Our special guest Jamal Charles, had a great
• 0:51
  visit with Jamal as well. But when I asked about
• 0:54
  all this, he said, you know, I don't have anybody
• 0:57
  to bringing. I'm like, you got all these managers get
• 1:00
  thing right? Yeah, you want him to run out there
• 1:02
  with a few tickets and pick up something for him.
• 1:04
  But anyway he was, he said he was down with
• 1:07
  the cotton candy turkey at Cotton Candy Bacon. If it
• 1:09
  happens the right if it happens on that No, my
• 1:13
  pressing question for you is, have you watched any preseason NBA?
• 1:22
  I did, Actually, did you watch the Thunder last night
• 1:25
  against the Rockets?
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I didn't watch him last night. I watched him against
• 1:28
  the Spurs, okay, And I texted my friend some stuff
• 1:31
  and he's like, why are you watching NBA right now?
• 1:34
  You're you're sick in the head. I was like, yeah,
• 1:36
  I know, I mean, I'm I'm super pumped because, as
• 1:40
  your son Jason Way knows, the Thunder are favorites to
• 1:44
  come out of the West right now. We have a
• 1:46
  stacked lineup. I love this team the way Sam Presty
• 1:48
  has built his roster. I think we're the best coach
• 1:50
  in the league. I'm I haven't been this excited for
• 1:52
  an NBA season in quite some time. With all the
• 1:55
  hypes rounding okay see and all the trades they have made,
• 1:57
  so it's been fun. And also following the other storylines
• 2:01
  as well, a lot of Bronny stuff in lebron and
• 2:05
  you know, we're just just like, if you're an NBA fan,
• 2:08
  you're just gonna have to suck it up this year
• 2:09
  because we're gonna get Bronnie and bron content every single
• 2:14
  day from here on out all the way ontill June.
• 2:17
  But outside of that, there's a lot of fun storylines
• 2:20
  this NBA season. So super excited. It starts a lot
• 2:24
  earlier this season. I think the twenty third is the
• 2:26
  first day, because you know, they're trying to elongate the
• 2:29
  schedule to put in more rest days and less back
• 2:32
  to backs, and less than two weeks away the start,
• 2:35
  which is weird because it felt like the season just ended,
• 2:37
  and of course we had the Olympics and so we
• 2:39
  were still watching basketball into July, so that part is
• 2:43
  interesting as well. Craig, you know, well, those guys who
• 2:45
  played for Team USA, Tatum, lebron kd Booker, Curry, what
• 2:51
  will they be like in the first half of the season,
• 2:53
  you know, coming back from a pretty long summer, how
• 2:56
  all their bodies hold up. We're gonna see a lot
• 2:58
  more rest from them, which I assume we will and
• 3:00
  won't lead to any more injuries. But I'm excited. Having
• 3:03
  watched in preseason basketball, I'm still trying to figure out
• 3:05
  how to watch all all of the teams this season.
• 3:08
  Victory out for Dellas Stars because their season tonight at
• 3:12
  the beginning, was it last night tonight?
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: You have the l Yeah, I know the calls place
• 3:19
  against Nashville, Okay and Carolina Hurricanes begin tomorrow night, and
• 3:25
  and they'll play Tampa Bay who had to escape a
• 3:27
  real hurricane and spent several days in Raleigh getting ready
• 3:31
  for that season. All right, So so to the NBA, Yeah,
• 3:35
  my son like you that you and my son Jason
• 3:39
  are the two biggest Thunder fans I know. And while
• 3:44
  Linda and I were engrossed in Game four the Division
• 3:47
  series between the Dodgers and the Padres last night, and
• 3:50
  also keeping track of the Yankees and Royals, flipping back
• 3:52
  over and watching that, he was back in his bedroom
• 3:55
  watching watching the Thunder love It against the Rockets. He
• 4:00
  was watching that, and he said it was a strange
• 4:05
  ending because what the Thunder was up by a point
• 4:07
  and they with or by three or whatever it was,
• 4:11
  with with one second left, they would call for a
• 4:15
  foul and then the Rockets tied it, got it overtime.
• 4:17
  And then one last night something like that. He mentioned.
• 4:21
  The other reason to bring that up, I saw highlights.
• 4:23
  I didn't see any of the game. But I saw
• 4:27
  highlights of the Spurs Magic game, and I have to
• 4:30
  admit it was It was kind of cool, although a
• 4:35
  little weird seeing Chris Paul lob passes to Wimby for
• 4:40
  slam dunks that that was kind of odd to see.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I forgot Chris Paul was even on the Spurs. Yeah,
• 4:47
  until like a week ago when they when the media
• 4:49
  they happened. It's like, is this photoshop? Nope, that's right,
• 4:53
  Chris Paul is on the Spurs. And I think a
• 4:56
  lot of NBA's fans wanted Cris Paul and the Spurs, maybe,
• 4:59
  like I know, five years ago, but now we get it.
• 5:02
  And Binyama, you know, he finally gets a true point card.
• 5:04
  So I know Bill Shoning is really excited for that.
• 5:08
  This season, it'll be fun to watch. Spurs will be
• 5:10
  a fun league Pats League pass team to watch this season.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: All right. Speaking of Spurs, Danny Green's retiring announced it
• 5:17
  fifteen years. Of course, spent most of his career with
• 5:20
  the Spurs, but he's won three titles with three different teams.
• 5:26
  So here's your trivia question. Do you know the other
• 5:29
  either of the other two teams that Danny Green has
• 5:31
  won an NBA World Championship.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: With Toronto, Los Angeles and.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: San Antonio, San Antonina. That's it, very well, very well done.
• 5:41
  You know your NBA twenty fourteen with the Spurs, twenty
• 5:44
  nineteen with the Raptors, twenty twenty with the Lakers. You
• 5:46
  impressed me, know oning the one about the Raptors. There.
• 5:49
  He finished with career averages of nine points per game,
• 5:53
  three and a half rebounds. His one thousand, five hundred
• 5:56
  and seventy seven to three pointers ranked forty third in
• 5:59
  NBA and he's one of only twelve players to make
• 6:03
  that many threes and shoot at least forty percent beyond
• 6:07
  the arc. The guy was just a He was just
• 6:10
  a regular, full on shooter.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: And he's a player that it feels like social media
• 6:15
  did him dirty. In terms of Twitter, NBA did not
• 6:20
  like Danny Green as opposed to maybe just normal basketball fans.
• 6:23
  He's in that weird category of players who got less
• 6:28
  popular over time because of because of how he played well.
• 6:31
  For some reason, Danny Green was always trending on Twitter,
• 6:35
  and the guy.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Was always a winner. He won a national championship in
• 6:37
  North Carolina. Here's another great number. He is one of
• 6:42
  only four players to make as many three pointers as
• 6:46
  he did without being a first round draft pick. Do
• 6:49
  you know any of the other three? They're all relativated again,
• 6:55
  he is one of only four players to make as
• 6:58
  many three pointers as he did over fifteen hundred without
• 7:01
  being a first round draft pick.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's a really good trip. I know, I know,
• 7:06
  because everyone I'm thinking right now at top of the
• 7:07
  three point list, I think it was all first round
• 7:09
  draft picks. Curry was, Miller was Ray, Allen was Yeah.
• 7:15
  All right, here's some names for you, Okay, Kyle Korver yep, okay.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Trevor Reza wow, and Rishard Lewis. Oh would you have
• 7:27
  gotten any of those?
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: No?
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: So that's that's an interesting trivia question. So Danny Green,
• 7:33
  good guy, Bill Show Houston, he enjoyed talking to him
• 7:37
  all the time. A national champion, a world champion.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: And he is he's getting in the media too.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: So yeah, he's really good at it too. He's really
• 7:44
  good at it. So I can see ESPN using him,
• 7:47
  or Spurs TV or whatever somebody will be using him
• 7:50
  from Therefore, it all right. We will be back to
• 7:52
