• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Peace out.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Let's get the latest on the Utah Jazz with former
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Jazz assistant coach Gordon Giasa. He's forgotten more about the
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: NBA than any of us will ever know.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Let's not get crazy. Come for the hoops talk. Stay
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: for his list of the day My list today, here's
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: O C.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: What Basketball savon, Gordon Chiasa on The Sean O'Connell.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Show, Man the Bonded. I'm on behind.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Sean O'Connell show ESPAT seven hundred ninety two one a
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: half them Gordon chias A raten Vibe brought to you
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: by a Latin Industries or Utah vilux dealer.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Gordy, how are you.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Sir showing I'm doing well? Thank you, GORDI.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Should we be bothered that the Utah Jazz have basically
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: no representation in All Star weekends?
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Yes very much. Yeah, because Larry Marketing is really worthy. However,
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: he's missed so many games recently, and so that's the problem.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: If he would have been able to play most of
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: those games, he would probably be selected as an All
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Star and part of because the new format with they're
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: probably going to add instead of only twenty four players.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: If were probably going to have maybe twenty five or
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: twenty six, so Larry would make the All Star team
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: as part of the World group where they're going to
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: play against the quote the American All Stars meeting in
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: the NBA. And so it's a disappointing. And add to
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: that you mentioned before about now one jazz player in
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: an All Star Weekend, which is really a lot of
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: things you're talking about. Really, ash Belly also, unfortunately for
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: some better reason, Ah Billy wasn't selected for the All
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Star Weekend Rising Stars game when the rookies play against
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: the second year players. And Ace Bally has done a
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: good job. And there's only two guys in the top
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: ten that we're not selected as far as the ten
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: men roster, and they are a Spelly's picked number five
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: and common Melawatch picking up a ten by the Sons,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: who really all he ever plays is a young big guy,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: so I'm shocked that he wasn't picked. You're playing this game.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: The coaches voted with the assistant coaches for the selection
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: of these guys, and I think they're all space.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: So I mean there's a there's a silver lining to
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: not being included in All Star Weekend where you get
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: to take a break, You get to go away from
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: you know, your team, you get to spend that time
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: reconnecting with family while you're you know, in the middle
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: of an NBA season.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: How do most guys handle the All Star break?
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Gordy mental health break? Because when you're really a good player,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: where you're a young guy, you can't believe how many
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: games is still left in the season. So someone like
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: say a Spelly, he doesn't choose to go to LA
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: to just hang out with friends, for example, including his
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: loved ones and meeting his family. Is that you want
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: to just rest your body. But for the mental part too,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: where you're away from basketball for literally four or five days,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: which is really encouraging. So I remember often though the
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Jazz many times players in the All Star weekend and
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: they came back from the All Star weekend, we didn't
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: practice for two days with them and we let them
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: then have a break. So many John Stock and Calm Alone,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Jeff Hornisack, Carol Lincoln and those guys that played in
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: the All Star Game or at different events when they
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: came back for us, they didn't practice as a team
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: for a day or two after they were able to
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: good practice we helped them out just to give them
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: a chance to rest their body. Now a Spelly particular
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: young fellow nineteen years old. He's a live wire. He
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: wants to play. So it's unfortunate that I was. Again
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: I mentioned that he should have made so quickly. He's
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: the guys that made it just to put their rookies,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: and we all know their names and the role really
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: talented guys. Cooper Flagg pick number one and is going
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: to be in the rookie game. Dy Don't hop pick
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: number two. Feature Edgecombe from the sixth is number third pick,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: kan Ka Nipple who might be the rookie of the
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: year possibly. Hornets picked number four. Trey Johnson wizz his
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: number six, Jeremiah Fear of Pelicans number seven, Diego Demon
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: from BYU picked number eight by the Nets. So again
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I know he's playing better and the Jet played the
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Nets ironically on Friday night here at the Delta Center.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: But as Billy absolutely should be picked over him. Calin
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Mary Boyle from the Raptors nine said the coward of
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: the Grizzly eleventh pick of the draft and Derek Queen
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: of the Pelicans thirteen pick of the draft. So the Pelicans,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: the worst tim in basketball, have two guys in this game.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: It kind of makes sense when you're the worst team
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: and your best players are young players, our rookies or sophomores, right,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: because the better.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: And that's their mol right now, for the Pelicans to
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: play the young guys who all their mistakes. So the
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Pelicans are twelve and thirty six. So if I'm based Bailey,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: but I was counseling him, he said, as an incentive,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: showing as a motivation to how dare you not make
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: me make these pick this selection for this team. I'm
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: going to prove everyone that are wrong by really playing
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: even better, more focused, and by the way, help my
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: team have more success as far as victories.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: We've seen a lot of jazz, young jazz players in
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: recent years get to play in this game, and let's
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: be honest, sometimes it was a little bit random and
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: sometimes guys got to participate in All Star Weekend and
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: it didn't really translate to any massive value for those
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: individuals in their player development whatever. So in an ideal world,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: how does the player benefit from being part of the
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Rising Stars challenge, specifically.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Their personal pride and branding? So Suddenly people that might
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: not know who you were, or they show you playing
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: college but they weren't really sure about your game. Suddenly
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: it pops up in front of you. You're in LA
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: on that weekend and you you blow out. And then
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: then the visualization of it that this guy can play.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: And from a branding standpoint, meaning usually sneakers or gear
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: that the players represent or any other endorses they have,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: that they're going to be front and center where our client,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: meaning our guy was MVP of the also was the
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: MVP of the Rising Star game or one the other contest.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: The Dunk Contest are three point shoot three point shooting contest,
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: and that helps the players' personal brand. Also gives the
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: franchise meaning he's present team some street credit that they're smart,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: they were smart drafting you, or if you're a veteran,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: that our guy can play this. Here's the reasons why
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: so help it's really helpful economically. I think it's great.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: I love All Star Weekend. I wish the Dunk Contest
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: would just change some of their format, and I just
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: wish the main guys, that the high flyers would get
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: in there and dunk and the quote show the old
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: days I mean Michael Joan, Dominique Wilkin, spud Web, these guys,
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: it was an honor to be in the Dunk Contest, Gordian.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I heard Sean Merriman talking about this with the Pro
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Bowl in football as well.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: How you know, it's it's become a joke.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: The Pro Bowl games are just a shell of what
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: the Pro Bowl was. And the Pro Bowl was never
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: like a hardcore, serious competitive game necessarily, but it was
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: at least a badge of honor that guys would wear
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: and you know, they would collect the merchandise from it,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: and they would frame that jersey, and they would get
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: all the other best players in the league to sign
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: their stuff.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: And where did we go wrong?
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: How did it happen that we have de emphasized all
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: star games to the point where they're almost you know,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: the leagues are now having to scramble and try and
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: make them something that the players actually care about. Where
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: and how did that happen? Where you know, you don't
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: have Lebron James has never been in a Dunk contest,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: and you don't have the guys that we actually want
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: to see doing these things with the exception, I guess
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: of the three point shooting contest.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: How did that happen?
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: More often those players on All Star weekend, their teams
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: are really highly competitive, and so they're going to play
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: in the All Star Game and most times will say recently,
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: they'll go through the motion, but it's really an exhibition
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: game and they don't want to be in the athletic
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: parts of it as far as black dunk contests to
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: try to save their legs, that's part of it. If
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: you're an elite player, like a high flyer of that,
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: that's the reason why. And the second part of it
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: is that they basically they make so much money now
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: it doesn't really matter any extra money they might earn
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: from some of these contests, So that's part of the
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: reason why they want to rest their legs somewhat, and
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: the economics of it doesn't really justify it in their
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: mind now as far as being able to win the award.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: The only exception you mentioned for is the three point
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: shooting contest. That's a lot based on skill, and so
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: that's a huge badge of courage. I member Jeff Wannaseck
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: wanted back to back years that he practiced it and
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: he was really focused to do it. What did.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Chase is our guest here on the Sean O'Connell Show
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: talking a little NBA basketball. All right, Uh utah Jazz
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: coming off a one forty seven, one sixteen loss to
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: the Miami Heat. Before we get to the game specifically,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: how does an old school guy like yourself process seeing
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: these All Star Game numbers and these All Star Game
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: point totals in a regular season contest one forty seven
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: scored in a non overtime game is embarrassed?
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's troubling very much. So. The Jats, unfortunately right now,
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: are of the worst team in the NBA Defensively, they're
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: allowing one hundred and twenty seven point eight points per game,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: so the number thirty and part of that, they're also
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: ranked less than the NBA and allowing the most made
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: three point shots at fifteen point eight threes per game.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: So in the mathematics of it, they're allowing basically over
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: forty seven points per game from the three point line.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: So they've got to correct that as far as whether
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: it's schematically, whether it's effort, whether it's actually individual technique
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: as they go forward. So they've got to do that.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: So it's a troubling fact because as I always say
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: this to the players over for the last of it,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: truly thirty seven years in the NBA, if you're playing
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: over twenty six minutes a game in an NBA game,
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: you are part of the reason why is winning. And
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: that is great. The team is winning and you're out there,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: you're part of reason why they're winning. Also, conversely, you're
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: part of reason why the team is losing. If you're
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: playing twenty six minutes a game or more in an
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: NBA game, being basically your starter or a six or
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: seventh man, and the team is losing, you're part of
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: the reason why a team is losing. And then you
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: can subtext that to why we're losing. And unfortunately, is
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: that the lack of defense by the players. I know
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: the coach is a fanatical about trying to get the
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: guys to play better defense philosophically and situationally, but the
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: players under court, they're not responding right now. So if
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: you play a lot of minutes you're winning, you get praise.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: If you're not winning, then it's on you.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: I was tongue in cheek the last time I asked
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: this question, but now I don't think it's a joke anymore.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Use of Nurkic just keeps putting these triple doubles up.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Is this something we should be expecting from him the
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: rest of the way, as long as he's wearing a
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Jazz uniform.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: He's got three in a row. So it could happen
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: again tonight, because tonight against the Clippers, he's being guarded
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: by a Bosian soul made in the game tonight, so
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: he'll be out there on perimeter of throwing dimes and stuff,
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: and that's if it's a zoobox, will be guarding them
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: out in perimeter. So it could happen again. Now there
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: saying that the report injury right now is saying that
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: he has an illness, And my soucier told me the
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: other day he was sick also the other day and
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: he got her out with that triple double against the
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: mamby heat. He can do it often because the way
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: the Jazz play, he's almost now a point center. He's
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: out there on perimeter, usually top of the circle, and
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: they just do a good job as far as cutting action,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: and Creante George and those players and Cody Williams now
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: is emerging as really a smart velocity cutter and use
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: of nurcurage has enough skills and you know you have
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: they shown. We're in a studio together, I mentioned, and
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: people will text me about it. I described a nurkic
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: about as as far as a grapefruit passer where the
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: balls almost like a grapefruit and he has the ball
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: out there and he throws those rocket passes on time,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: on target to the cutters. So we can expect that.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure all the time, but most often, all.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Right, what are you expecting from this Utah Jazz team
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: in the in this game, in the next couple of games.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Well, the first thing is seawan. I hope tonight he
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: can play that Larry Markins. You know, last night I
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: taped the game. I watched the game this morning by
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: U versus Arizona and relations game. So Larry Markin is
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: there at the game? Okay, good, that's just Actually I'm
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: out of the Arizona Wildcats, so I get it. You
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: should be there. Fine. So with that said, he has illness,
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: so he's recovering, So help me play tonight. Because with
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Larry marketing. When Larry Markin does not play for the
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Jazz this season, the Jazz record is one and twelve.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: The only one they had is when they last week
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: when the Jazz beat thech Wolves here at the Delta Center.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: So I hope he plays. And if you're at the
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: game last night, being in provo, that tells us people
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: that he's feeling better, which is good. And hopefully he'll
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: chance to play because he's a tremendous player. And I'm
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: saying that first hand. The Jazz is saying that also,
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: they're going to rest tonight, can't they George? And this
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: is can't de George? This only be the second time
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: he missed the game this season. He missed one earlier.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: He doesn't play tonight, so through his credit, he's played.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: He's answered the bell really for forty four out of
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: forty six games, and the jazzney County George to be successful.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: So I see what I see tonight. Though, if those
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: two guys don't play, then the other players to step
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: it up, and that would be players like will say,
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: Kyle you has got to play a tremendous right sense
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: of ball. Yusef Nurker to play. If Kevin love Well,
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: if that contusion play of knee contusion, hopefully'll play well.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Nothing from the Clippers point of view. For them, they're
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: looking at trying to get a win to keep going
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: full because right now the Clippers right now or the
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: tenth place in the Western Conference, and so they've got
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: to try to do some heavy lifting to get back
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: into UH into a playoff contention. Meaningwhile I finish four,
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: five or six. Kawhi Leonard the least time the Jets
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: played against the Clippers, it was on New Year's Day
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: night and Kawhi scored forty five points, including showing a
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: bloody nose. Remember the game, he hit his nose and
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: his noses bleeding. He had to hear his his nose
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: as far as during the game. They kept on putting
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: around his nose a cloth and stuff. But he got
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: forty five points against the Jetts. So he's played tremendous.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Hit his quick numbers for Kawhi Leonard to set the
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: stations of tonight's game, and the Jets got try to
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: slow him down. He's averaging twenty five point six points
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: per game shooting from the shooting from the free throw line,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: ninety per point one, four point nine rebounds shooting from
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: the field, forty nine point eight shooting from three point
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: range forty one point nine. So he's played tremendous for them,
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: and he's really a he's really a great two way player.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: When he's healthy, he's very good. And let's not forget
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: former jas man John Collins, who's involved in a trade
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: last summer. He's done a good job for the Clippers.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: He's averaging thirteen point four points per game. He's shooting
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: really a solid fifty five point six from the field,
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: but also forty three point six from three, and he's done.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: He's done a really a solid job for them to
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: fit in where he can play inside and outside, and
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: he liked them a lot. The last point about the Clippers,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: they are the second slowest team in the NBA as
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: far as pace the only other They ranked them with nine.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: The only other team Sean that's slower than the Clippers
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: is the Celts, meaning that both these teams play basically
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: a half court game, and they rely on the brilliance
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: of James Harden and the brilliance of Kawhi Leonard and
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: just and they're getting zoobots involved in the offense, so
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: they don't want to play fast moneys to steal. They
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: want to get the ball to Harden whose ball dominant,
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: and Kawhi Leonard and go organize isolation. So the Jacks
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: point of view, you've got to overplay the passing lane.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: You have to get up into the dribble and try
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: to force them to pass the ball and play sometimes
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: zone and often the night defense. When the ball comes
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: back to them, be ready to give early help. It
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: should be a good.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Game, Cory, what's your list today?
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: All right? List today, Sean. I've been thinking about the
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: NFL as you are, is that this list today is
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: the most career regular season games of ten assist and
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: no turnovers. So Sean, tennis assist and no turnovers. And
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: I'm going to credit the football w equivalent of a
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: quarterback for in his career. How many games does a
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: quarterback in the NFL have? Three touchdowns and no interceptions?
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Three touchdowns and no picks or fumble by a quarterback.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: So here we are Korea. Tennisssist and no turnovers. It's
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: almost like pitching a perfect game. And just behead the attributes.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: One control of your body, mind, and dribble. Once you
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: penetrate into the lane, are you under control your body,
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: your mind and your dribble? Two? You value the ball.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: You have the ball in your hands, you value it
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: versus reckless play and three superior decision making. Here we go,
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: number ten all time with the most tennissists no turnover game.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: Avery Johnson he did it eighteen times. Four players ty
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: for ninth place all time. They are Steve Nash, former
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: youth standout, Andre Miller, Nick Van Exel, and Gary Payton.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Those four guys did it nineteen times. Tennis siths and
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: no turnovers number eight all times. Mookie Blaylock did it
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: twenty times. Number seven. Tremendous Spaniard point guard who played
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: for the Raptors and for the Trailblazers. Jose Calderon did
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: it twenty one times. Number six. He got hurt last
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: year in Game seven for the Indiana Pacers. Who knows
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: what happened if he would have played. Tyrese Alberton has
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: twenty two times already in his career Tennis sit and
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: no turnovers Number five all time. Mark Jackson did it
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: twenty six, Number four. He's the head coach of the
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Dallas Mavericks. Hall of Famer Jason Kidd did it twenty
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: seven times. Number three. I had the privileged coach's guy
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: for sixteen years. John Stockton had forty four times tennis
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: sit and no turnovers number two all time, which is
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: really surprising because this guy was only five foot three.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: We all love him. Tyrone Mugie Bows had tennis sit
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: and no turnovers forty six times in his career. It's amazing.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: And the number one player with the most ever perfect
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: games as far as no turnovers but tennis sis is
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Chris Paul. He did it's sixty times in his career.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Thus that's my list of today.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised by Halliburton being on that list.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah I was, Yeah, twenty two and county, which means
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: that showing when he penetrates, think that way he plays,
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: he's in the lane, he penetrates, he makes good decisions.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: He can take a hit in the lanes. The guy
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: bumps you off balance and so suddenly it could be
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: a turnable, walking violation or bad pass. He's able to
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: have enough why a body balance and presence of mind.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: And that's why the Pacers were almost world champions. He
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: got hurt and set them back the whole season, and
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: they get them back next ure up the injury and
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: they think they're gonna be a rising team again next
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: season in the East Sean. How many quarterbacks you think
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: could do that? Have Korea three touchdown passes in a
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: game and no interceptions.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Well, if you could pull that off, you're in the
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: MVP conversation and you're one of the highest paid guys
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: in the league.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: That's it very much, And so Monchie Bolks. For the
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: young listeners, here was this guy that played at wake Forest.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Yes you heard me say it right. He was five
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: foot three. He was almost impossible to stay in front
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: off the dribble. But to his credit, once he get penetrated,
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: let's say, among all the trees in the lane, he
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: was able to have his own branch, meaning what stand
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: the control and make some great passes, whether it's kick
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: out to the corner or lock pass in short corner
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: space with a guy would catch Hie finish high after elevating.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: And Martie Boges was an interesting guy and we all
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: love him.
• 22:09
