Speaker 1: Welcome back to EVE Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Phone numbers five zero two, five seventy nine hundred. This
Speaker 2: is Sports Talk seven ninety KRD. I got Shannon behind
Speaker 2: the glass. I think he's behind the glass. I was
Speaker 2: speaking to him before the show. I'm not sure though.
Speaker 2: I am in Panama City, Panama, as you all well know,
Speaker 2: on paid vacation. Don't say anything else, Shennon and this
Speaker 2: is Eve Sports Radio and welcome back. So here's what
Speaker 2: we have. Anthony and I are truly sitting here in
Speaker 2: Panama City, Panama, getting ready to go to see the
Speaker 2: Panama Canal today and a lot of other things that
Speaker 2: we're going.
Speaker 1: To talk to you all about.
Speaker 2: We're also going to give you all the sports information
Speaker 2: that's going on about our Cards baseball team heart fault
Speaker 2: loss Coastal Carolina is just very good. We know that,
Speaker 2: period point blank. They are probably the favorites. But we'll
Speaker 2: have to wait and see a really heart fault game
Speaker 2: last night which I watched watching I think lsu.
Speaker 1: I was just offul to watch. Anyway, We're well talk
Speaker 1: about the baseball. Of course, we've got the Lakers. Of course,
Speaker 1: we've got Duas Sanders, a one hundred miles an hour
Speaker 1: in my truck.
Speaker 2: I mean, we've got a lot to talk about, and
Speaker 2: first and foremost, I'm got to tell you about my
Speaker 2: trip and June teenth. Then I'm an throw it to
Speaker 2: my son, who's going to give you all all the
Speaker 2: national news. And then from there we'll start to get
Speaker 2: into the show. But like always, I have to tell
Speaker 2: you all I have to my traveling. I'm telling you
Speaker 2: the bandwagon of Eve Sports Radio travel. It's comical and
Speaker 2: I'm sure I'm not the only one when I'm telling
Speaker 2: you all this. This is one hundred percent factual. I
Speaker 2: probably bought my Airplayer fair tickets to Penama City in December.
Speaker 2: We plan a family trip. Family comes, we go different places,
Speaker 2: enjoy ourselves. So I bought my tickets. I know in December. Guys,
Speaker 2: in my portfolio, I have preferred seat OWL. When I
Speaker 2: bought my tickets in December, I bought an aisle seat,
Speaker 2: no question, right behind first class in the extended stay area.
Speaker 2: Perfect seat. I get it ninety percent of the time. Okay,
Speaker 2: my wife is right next to me in the middle seat.
Speaker 2: Load and behold. We arrived at the airport. I don't
Speaker 2: think about checking I just checking in at delta. Do
Speaker 2: the hand of my bag. Young lady does a great job.
Speaker 2: She puts in my freaking flyer. Numbers the streets, you
Speaker 2: got quite a few of them, and I do. We
Speaker 2: go through the scenario. I go to the gate.
Speaker 1: I'm still not thinking about anything. They start boarding the plane.
Speaker 2: Of course service members first, thank you for you o service,
Speaker 2: and then anyone that needs help getting down, older people,
Speaker 2: young ladies with kids, and all the chairs and all
Speaker 2: the toys. I went through that before also, and then
Speaker 2: first class, and then of course extended stay.
Speaker 1: We're usually level two or three to board.
Speaker 2: Zone tour three. Excuse me to board, so I think
Speaker 2: zone three hits did on time? Get on the plane,
Speaker 2: start looking and next thing I know, load and behold
Speaker 2: my seat is the window seat.
Speaker 1: Load and behold they changed. They changed the airplane.
Speaker 3: Guys.
Speaker 2: When they do that, they can do whatever they want
Speaker 2: to your seat, which I did not know. Only thing
Speaker 2: they have to do, which I found out yesterday after
Speaker 2: we landed in Atlanta, is that they must keep you
Speaker 2: in the section that you purchased. But that aisle seat
Speaker 2: that I thought I owned, Nah, you do not. They
Speaker 2: can move you to any seat in that area. Well,
Speaker 2: load and behold, I went from an aisle seat to
Speaker 2: a window seat with probably maybe eighteen inches. Now listen,
Speaker 2: I wasn't as a set about the window seat. My
Speaker 2: wife's sitt in the middle. There was a gentleman on
Speaker 2: the aisle who bought his ticket three weeks ago. You
Speaker 2: told me I'm sitting there, going you get an aile
Speaker 2: bought it three weeks ago. I bought my name December
Speaker 2: and I get the window. Okay, thank you, Delton. I'm
Speaker 2: sitting there. There's absolutely no leg room. Thank you that
Speaker 2: i'd got my left knee replaced her. I would not
Speaker 2: have been able to sit there. It was just that crowd,
Speaker 2: and I took pictures of it. So we get off
Speaker 2: the plane in atlant Everything's smooth, A pilot does its job.
Speaker 1: It's a great flight. I don't almost slip over this time.
Speaker 2: And I go to one of the help desk and
Speaker 2: that's when the lady explains to me that you own nothing.
Speaker 2: So I said, well, then, truly, you're just glorified Southwest.
Speaker 2: I can buy the seat, think I own the seat,
Speaker 2: but I really don't.
Speaker 1: She says, no, you really don't.
Speaker 2: If they move or change the airplane, they can move
Speaker 2: you anywhere in that section. So again, guys, I've just
Speaker 2: been traveling my entire life. First air plane flight was
Speaker 2: west Until flew me to Baltimore and Maryland to be
Speaker 2: at his basketball camp. And I think I was thirteen
Speaker 2: years old. Was my first light ever had a suit
Speaker 2: and tie on. How that has changed? No one gets
Speaker 2: dressed up for flights anymore. I mean, you got to
Speaker 2: see the way people dress on these planes. But anyway,
Speaker 2: that's what happened. So I was a little upset about it,
Speaker 2: but I got in my opinion, I got beat again.
Speaker 2: So that was first thing.
Speaker 1: Now it starts. You all aren't gonna believe this. We land.
Speaker 2: It's my wife and I, Martin Dunbart and his wife Janet,
Speaker 2: Randy Parker and his wife all we're just golfing buddies
Speaker 2: and my daughter Ashley. We land in Atlanta when we're
Speaker 2: sitting there waiting to board our flight to Panama City, Panama,
Speaker 2: And of course.
Speaker 1: You know what they did.
Speaker 2: Anyone who wants to give up their seat, anyone, we'll
Speaker 2: give you the thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Of course, you all don't know.
Speaker 2: My wife, you all, she goes to yard sales. I
Speaker 2: mean Frougo's not even the word. She's like a thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: I'm like, you're not giving up your seat.
Speaker 3: Period.
Speaker 2: Astley sitting across room and she's like, no, mom stopped.
Speaker 2: It went from one thousand to twelve hundred. Shannon went
Speaker 2: from twelve hundred to fifteen hundred. So now she was
Speaker 2: looking at me and I'm not gonna lie to you all.
Speaker 2: I'm sitting there going, m fifteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: How long are you gonna have to stay? Will you
Speaker 1: be able to get here today? Well, no, that was
Speaker 1: the catch. No, you'll have to stay overnight.
Speaker 2: They'll put you up in a hotel, they'll give you
Speaker 2: three square meals, and they'll transport you back and forth.
Speaker 2: So my wife is looking at me, Ashley's looking it's
Speaker 2: like fifteen hundred. Jann the Dunbar, Martin's wife, everybody's like
Speaker 2: fifteen hundred. Well, the three men, we're sitting there going
Speaker 2: we don't care, don't do what you want to do.
Speaker 2: The four women hop up. They go to the window
Speaker 2: of the.
Speaker 1: Jane Dumbar, Martin's wife. She's more approval than she was.
Speaker 2: They walked up and said, didn't you say two thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: The lady at the counter announced two thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: For anybody who wants to give up their seat. So, guys,
Speaker 1: you all know what happened.
Speaker 2: The lady stayed. They're flying there today. They took the
Speaker 2: two thousand dollars. Now that's eight thousand bucks no matter
Speaker 2: how you do the math. I was sitting there saying
Speaker 2: myself two thousand dollars. That means my wife stays out
Speaker 2: of my pocket.
Speaker 1: Yes, take the money. So they did. So half the
Speaker 1: game will come in today. They'll arrived at one o'clock.
Speaker 1: They stayed somewhere. They put them in a hotel.
Speaker 2: They said it was really nice, about four or five
Speaker 2: minutes from Atlanta's airport. They'll be leaving today and they've
Speaker 2: got two thousand dollars in their pocket. So, guys, Delta,
Speaker 2: I love you. When I landed in Atlanta, I was
Speaker 2: mad at you. Out of Atlanta, I host two thousand
Speaker 2: dollars rich if my wife was so.
Speaker 1: See, you just never know the turn of events.
Speaker 2: So anyway, that is the bottom line with what transpired
Speaker 2: with that, we're already at six fourteen. Yes, I'm in
Speaker 2: Panama City, Panama. Yes I'm going to the Panama Canal.
Speaker 2: It's absolutely four point one miles from my hotel. That's
Speaker 2: my first stop after I work out, breakfast shower, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go see the Canal.
Speaker 1: Can't wait.
Speaker 3: Frankie's here, Anthony's here, Frankie's wife, Macey's with him.
Speaker 1: So we're all here.
Speaker 2: The whole game will get here soon and we'll re
Speaker 2: unite and have a great time. But anyway, guys flying
Speaker 2: with the Ease family, I'm telling you, it's like the
Speaker 2: Griz Walls. You just don't know what you're gonna get
Speaker 2: when it's Christmas. So what I'm gonna do is, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go break. When we come back, I'm gonna throw
Speaker 2: at to Anthony, who was sitting right here. He's gonna
Speaker 2: give us all the national news. And then after that,
Speaker 2: before I go to my second break, I'm gonna tell
Speaker 2: you all a little bit about why I'm on. It's Juneteenth,
Speaker 2: but I think I need to educate the public a
Speaker 2: little bit about it. I am on the Juneteenth Committee
Speaker 2: in the City of Louisville. I was at the Mayor's
Speaker 2: office not yesterday, two days ago. During this press conference,
Speaker 2: we spoke about Juneteenth that's the press conference where they
Speaker 2: announced that they're going to do something for Tom Jorge,
Speaker 2: which I'll speak about that also and when we come
Speaker 2: back out of the break. So guys, let's state a
Speaker 2: task from Panama City, Panama. Beautiful day, sunshining, I.
Speaker 3: Mean beautiful day.
Speaker 1: This is EVE Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: I'll be back Anthony the Eaves will take the wheel
Speaker 2: and I'll talk to you in a minute.
Speaker 4: Welcome back to E Sports Radio.
Speaker 5: The time over here is six eighteen am. My dad's
Speaker 5: got the Keen Deluxe Sweet. We're not going to ask
Speaker 5: how much that cost because the view that he gets
Speaker 5: from his room is a little bit different from mine.
Speaker 4: He's on the tenth floor. I'm on the third.
Speaker 5: I'm almost I'm almost in the casino at this point.
Speaker 5: But we're having an amazing time over here. Obviously, the
Speaker 5: story y'all did here is correct. My mom and some
Speaker 5: of her are still in Atlanta, Georgia right now. They
Speaker 5: got that flight voucher that you know. I think about it,
Speaker 5: I'm like, what I would have seed for two thousand dollars?
Speaker 3: Probably?
Speaker 5: Probably, But we got to get into some of this
Speaker 5: national news. Obviously, the only thing that I can say
Speaker 5: about Panama is. We don't get a lot of channels
Speaker 5: in English. They like to make it a little bit
Speaker 5: difficult over here. So I'm watching ESPN in Spanish, which
Speaker 5: is helping my Spanish grow drastically, by the way, but
Speaker 5: it does make it a little bit difficult. When I cut
Speaker 5: it on, I was screwing through the channels. I said,
Speaker 5: they gotta have an English ESPN over here.
Speaker 4: The only thing that was in English was the U
Speaker 4: of L baseball game.
Speaker 5: In the LSU baseball games, they show those in English,
Speaker 5: but everything else is in Spanish.
Speaker 4: But the big thing we have to get into is obviously.
Speaker 5: The Bus family that has shown that has sold a
Speaker 5: majority ownership of the Lakers to Walter Mister Walsh is
Speaker 5: himself for ten million dollars back in seventy nine when
Speaker 5: the Bus family bought the Lakers for sixty seven and
Speaker 5: a half million dollars. Over a forty six year period,
Speaker 5: it has gone up to ten billion dollars. The worth
Speaker 5: of these franchises now is incredible. Of the amount of
Speaker 5: money that you put and invest into a company or
Speaker 5: into a sports organization, how much it grows over not
Speaker 5: even a four and a half year decades span. It's
Speaker 5: incredible and I still think about it sometimes in my
Speaker 5: little small head, who in the right hindes just has
Speaker 5: ten billion dollars just to cough up on the NBA
Speaker 5: franchise team.
Speaker 2: Just to give you all a perspective what I signed
Speaker 2: with you told you as in nineteen eighty three, the
Speaker 2: rookie minimum was forty thousand dollars, and my dad said,
Speaker 2: you make forty thousand dollars. But he couldn't believe at
Speaker 2: my first year, he could not believe that was my
Speaker 2: opening south forty.
Speaker 3: Thousand dollars, guys, And I was happy.
Speaker 2: Darryl Griffith signed a four year deal for right at
Speaker 2: a million, and it was just unheard of. All four
Speaker 2: years for a million dollars. It was unheard of, just crazy,
Speaker 2: And we have come to this point today. We're players
Speaker 2: are making sixty million a season. You've got journeymen making
Speaker 2: five ten million dollars a year, you've got ownership groups.
Speaker 2: Just remember we fought the Boston Celtics, oh a year
Speaker 2: or so ago. That's so excuse me.
Speaker 3: This year for six point one billion was unheard of.
Speaker 1: We thought that was unheard of.
Speaker 2: It took them a long time to negotiate that and
Speaker 2: here comes Mark Walter along with Magic Johnson and the group,
Speaker 2: the TWG Group, and pays ten billion ten billion. So
Speaker 2: just to give you a little perspective of how far
Speaker 2: this league has gone. And we're going to talk a
Speaker 2: little bit at the end of the day about the
Speaker 2: people watching. Are we watching or aren't we watching? It
Speaker 2: is a double edged sword which we're gonna talk about.
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna throw it back to Anthony to finish
Speaker 2: with some of the national news before we really get
Speaker 2: into these topics. The Lakers is one of them. I
Speaker 2: knew Jerry bus Person. He was a great that they
Speaker 2: had on HBO was quite true. I mean, he was
Speaker 2: a woman's man now he loved her woman eyes.
Speaker 3: But he resurrected the Lakers, he really did.
Speaker 2: So we'll talk about that, but I'm throwing back to
Speaker 2: Anthony and let him finish with the national news.
Speaker 5: Yeah, of course, and obviously we can't forget about the
Speaker 5: big game to night. We still got the Thunder and
Speaker 5: the Pacers playing at seven thirty on ABC tonight. I
Speaker 5: just read a small paragraph, a very short paragraph, talking
Speaker 5: about the finals, specifically this finals and even some over
Speaker 5: the past couple of years of how the ratings have
Speaker 5: been down drastically over the NBA Finals, down twenty four
Speaker 5: percent from its average over the last ten years. Obviously,
Speaker 5: the NBA Finals I think was in its prime.
Speaker 4: Obviously when you're going in Golden.
Speaker 5: State Warriors and Steph Curry, Clay Thompson and Draymond Green
Speaker 5: era against Lebron and the Cavaliers, Lebron and the Miami
Speaker 5: Heat Kevin Durant when.
Speaker 4: He was on the Warriors, I think that his.
Speaker 5: Peak NBA Finals basketball that we might have for a while.
Speaker 1: Yes, I heard no.
Speaker 4: And this is even though.
Speaker 5: Off topic discussion that I've been seeing lately, that I
Speaker 5: actually want your opinion on, Pops.
Speaker 4: Who do you think is the better overall point guard?
Speaker 1: Stephen Curry or Magic Johnson?
Speaker 2: Again being honest with everyone, the bottom line is this,
Speaker 2: Magic Johnson was a true point guard. His job was
Speaker 2: to get his teammates involved.
Speaker 3: He let the league and assist.
Speaker 2: He had the ball in his hands like the quarterback
Speaker 2: eighty percent of the time. Curry's is a little different.
Speaker 2: He does get his teammates involved with his movement. Anthony,
Speaker 2: they set screens for him. He is the best conditioned
Speaker 2: kid I've seen in a long time. He runs quite
Speaker 2: a bit in a game without the ball, giving up
Speaker 2: with his teammates because they play off of his movement.
Speaker 2: But Curry is not a point guard. He is still
Speaker 2: and will always go down as the greatest shooter period,
Speaker 2: point blank. I love Larry Bird. Oh, Curty is the
Speaker 2: greatest shooter ever fall not even close, not even close.
Speaker 2: So Magic Johnson's the best point guard.
Speaker 3: Curry is.
Speaker 2: Again, He's in the top seven all time. People want
Speaker 2: to put him there.
Speaker 3: He is.
Speaker 2: He's changed the game, but he's positionless unless you just
Speaker 2: wanted to say he's the greatest shooter, which would make
Speaker 2: him a two guard.
Speaker 5: M I'm glad to get either that because I have
Speaker 5: to disagree on that.
Speaker 4: The only reason why I say that is off of impact.
Speaker 5: Obviously, his style of play is what makes him a
Speaker 5: point guard because it makes it so much.
Speaker 4: Easier for others.
Speaker 5: And I say that now is and if you were
Speaker 5: to put Magic Johnson on the team like the Golden
Speaker 5: State Wars when he got drafted developing in their team,
Speaker 5: would Magic Johnson be as Steph Curry is how he
Speaker 5: plays now.
Speaker 4: Obviously it goes both ways as vice versa with Steph
Speaker 4: Curry be as good with Kareem. I hate to say it.
Speaker 5: I love Magic Johnson because I think he's phenomenal point
Speaker 5: guard and I'm not gonna ever knock his accomplishments and skills.
Speaker 5: But at the same time, do I think it was
Speaker 5: that difficult for him to be that great of a
Speaker 5: point guard playing with Kareem.
Speaker 4: Abdul Jabbar m I don't know.
Speaker 5: He was on one of the best Lakers teams probably
Speaker 5: in franchise history, and I think we all know that.
Speaker 4: Obviously he was.
Speaker 5: A big role in that as well, but not when.
Speaker 4: He got there. But that is it. But the okay,
Speaker 4: and even the war is Stephen Curry.
Speaker 5: When he got to Golden State, they were horrible to
Speaker 5: They weren't making the playoffs at him Monte Allis, you
Speaker 5: know they were. They were bottom of the barrel in
Speaker 5: the West. I still like to keep him a close
Speaker 5: comparison because outside of passing, I think Magic Johnson has
Speaker 5: Steph Curry beat I think Steph Curry beats Magic.
Speaker 3: In every other category.
Speaker 2: Again, but the categories, the categories would fall back to
Speaker 2: the scoring aspect.
Speaker 3: Anthony. Defensively, Magic was the better player.
Speaker 2: He could guard multiple positions, they hide Steph, they move
Speaker 2: him around. He tries, but they move him around away
Speaker 2: from defensive assignments. But the deal is this, steals doesn't
Speaker 2: mean that you're a great defender. See that's a misconception.
Speaker 4: Defensive player, that you're always the leader in the blocks.
Speaker 2: Well, that's because he's helping his teammates. Shot blocker is
Speaker 2: a different he's protecting everybody. Steals means that you gambled
Speaker 2: quite a bit. As a coach, I didn't like people
Speaker 2: that really led the league and steals Anthony because they
Speaker 2: broke down your defensive concept. But going back to it,
Speaker 2: the deal with Magic Johnson Anthony, he was a legitimate
Speaker 2: six foot nine point guard.
Speaker 3: That if you watch his highlight tapes.
Speaker 2: He's done things on transition when the league was truly transition,
Speaker 2: fast break basketball, getting up and down or Anthony. He
Speaker 2: made passes that are unbelievable, just unbelievable. At six to nine.
Speaker 2: He wasn't walking it up, backing people down, Anthony like
Speaker 2: today's game. Like Brunson Anthony, he was in transition, moving it.
Speaker 2: That's why the game was different. Today the game is
Speaker 2: very stagnant. I love Curry because he does move, but
Speaker 2: the Lakers still sold for ten billion. Ten billion. Don't
Speaker 2: understand the Lakers sold for ten billion. Where this league
Speaker 2: is gone now and how it's transpiring, what it's doing
Speaker 2: for communities, just the money that it's bringing in to
Speaker 2: these cities like Memphis, like Oka. See, I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: get into it to you don't know where I stand
Speaker 2: on that.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna leave it alone. I'm not gonna talk about
Speaker 3: my city.
Speaker 2: Of Louisville anymore about that. But come on, guys, we
Speaker 2: had opportunity to be in the league. That it is
Speaker 2: bringing this kind of money to the community. That's all
Speaker 2: there is to it. It helps ta tax dollars. People
Speaker 2: don't understand tax dollars. So anyway, we're gonna keep it pushing.
Speaker 2: We're already at.
Speaker 3: Six twenty seven.
Speaker 2: When we come back, We've got a lot of other
Speaker 2: national news we're going to get to. But I do
Speaker 2: want to talk to people as we go to our
Speaker 2: second break. I'm in Panama City, Panama. I'm going to
Speaker 2: go see the Panama Canal. I can't wait. I'm really
Speaker 2: interested in seeing that. I'm gonna take the tour. Of course,
Speaker 2: it's about seven hours to take the tour to go
Speaker 2: through the canal. So I'm definitely gonna do that when
Speaker 2: I'm here because I want to experience that.
Speaker 3: But I do want to talk.
Speaker 2: About June kyeenth, and it's a holiday and usually I
Speaker 2: take off Juneteenth, but I just wanted since I was
Speaker 2: on the Juneteenth Committee, I wanted to have an opportunity
Speaker 2: to explain to people.
Speaker 3: Again, a lot of people do not know what.
Speaker 2: Juneteenth is, which I understand I'm fine with because our
Speaker 2: history has not been told in totality. Guys, just I
Speaker 2: don't get it. I'm gonna be honest with you, but
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you. I am telling you the truth. Juneteenth.
Speaker 2: June the nineteenth, guys, is when a section of slaves
Speaker 2: in Texas were informed about the Emancipation Proclamation that they
Speaker 2: had been free.
Speaker 1: Got me.
Speaker 3: It is eighteen sixty five.
Speaker 2: We know the Civil War was April twelfth, eighteen sixty
Speaker 2: one to April eighteen sixty five. We don't know the
Speaker 2: exact date that it ended, but the month of April
Speaker 2: got me. So at that time there was a group
Speaker 2: of people that had not found out about what it transpired.
Speaker 2: With the Civil Wars, the deadliest war in American history,
Speaker 2: which people do not want to talk about.
Speaker 3: And what was it about?
Speaker 2: The North and the South were debating slavery and how
Speaker 2: states should run their government got me and the North
Speaker 2: thought and the federal government that the South was not
Speaker 2: well properly using its resources. The South thought that they
Speaker 2: should have the right to do what they wanted, what
Speaker 2: they called their slaves, and that the government should not
Speaker 2: be entitled to tell them yes or no.
Speaker 3: So that was the beginning of the Civil War. That's
Speaker 3: what it was about.
Speaker 2: And over six hundred and twenty thousand Americans got over it.
Speaker 3: Quite a few guys got over it.
Speaker 2: So when they did finally reach there weren't phones sal phones.
Speaker 2: The guys we finally reached Texas where it was first celebrated.
Speaker 2: Juneteenth in the state of Texas is when the slaves
Speaker 2: in Texas found out. So that's why we're celebrating today
Speaker 2: juneteenth nineteenth and that's the reason why. So again, we
Speaker 2: had over six hundred and twenty thousands and Americans. Now
Speaker 2: that's I can't that's not exact. I want to tell
Speaker 2: you all. I want to be one hundred percent factor
Speaker 2: with you all. They're not sure truly how many died,
Speaker 2: but they know it was the Deadlist War. Ever, some
Speaker 2: estimate that the Union lost three hundred and sixty and
Speaker 2: the Confederates lost over around two hundred and fifty eight
Speaker 2: thousand people.
Speaker 3: So, guys, that's just the bottom line.
Speaker 2: So when we're going through some of the issues renaming
Speaker 2: some of the forts after Confederate generals, guys, you just
Speaker 2: have to really debate and say, what are we doing?
Speaker 2: Just think about it, now, what are we doing? Yes,
Speaker 2: History always tells the truth, guys. Don't you understand? History
Speaker 2: always tells the truth because the truth will come out, period,
Speaker 2: point blank, no matter what it's said at the time.
Speaker 2: Just like now, History's going to tell you what the
Speaker 2: truth is. People will make a decision on yes or no.
Speaker 2: Just like in eighteen April twelfth of eighteen sixty one,
Speaker 2: when the decision was that they were going to fight
Speaker 2: over this, Guys, the South thought that they were correct.
Speaker 3: They did history.
Speaker 2: Now now we know, we all know this slavery was wrong,
Speaker 2: but then people did not think it was. Just like
Speaker 2: now when we're trying to say we're gonna make it
Speaker 2: for it Bragfort, guys, we're gonna say it now, but
Speaker 2: History's gonna tell us who is right and wrong, and
Speaker 2: we already know we do. We just want to tell
Speaker 2: the truth. We do not for some reason right now
Speaker 2: want to tell the truth. That's all there is to it,
Speaker 2: and we all know it. So that's one of the
Speaker 2: reasons why I'm on today instead of taking off travel
Speaker 2: day and today is because I just wanted to address
Speaker 2: it so that people, I don't care what side you're on.
Speaker 2: In April twelfth of eighteen sixty one, and when they
Speaker 2: were going through all they tried to avoid this war,
Speaker 2: they did they but they couldn't. People fought over this
Speaker 2: because they thought they were right. Well, history is told
Speaker 2: who is right and wrong. We know who was right.
Speaker 3: Period.
Speaker 2: Slavery is wrong, period point blank, always was and always
Speaker 2: will be. So now here we are talking about woke
Speaker 2: and erasing things, they're just correcting things, guys, period point blank.
Speaker 2: I don't know why we'd go or fly slavery, period
Speaker 2: point blank. And don't know why who would? Why would we?
Speaker 2: But that's where we are now. We are here now
Speaker 2: for some reason. No matter where you stand on what
Speaker 2: you are, Republican or a Democrat, the bottom line, we
Speaker 2: all know slavery was wrong. But here we are now,
Speaker 2: period here we are. History will tell the truth and
Speaker 2: we won't be here. But just remember your grandkids will
Speaker 2: be and they're gonna be evaluating us this Esports Radio.
Speaker 3: We'll be back after the break. Talk to you in
Speaker 3: a minute.
Speaker 1: Okay, yep, hit the baseball.
Speaker 5: Ye welcome back to the sports Radio. The time is
Speaker 5: six thirty five am. We got to get into our segments.
Speaker 5: I know I was rambling on about Magic Johnson and
Speaker 5: Steph Curry, but we're going to still get into it.
Speaker 4: And I hate to see our cards. They fell short
Speaker 4: a little bit yesterday.
Speaker 5: They lost to Coastal Carolina in the Mint College World
Speaker 5: Series eleven to three, which.
Speaker 4: I hate to say, phenomenal season.
Speaker 5: I hate to say it. I wasn't expecting Louis to
Speaker 5: go this far. I don't think a lot of people were.
Speaker 5: But you know, sometimes even in your own team, they
Speaker 5: got to prove you wrong, and you know, we love
Speaker 5: to see it.
Speaker 4: I'm glad they proved me wrong.
Speaker 5: I love seeing the UFO Baseball be successful. I love
Speaker 5: u of L sports being successful. It brings so much
Speaker 5: energy and liveliness to the city. It gives a fans
Speaker 5: something to rave and be something excited about our young
Speaker 5: student athletes going out there and succeeding, hitting goals and
Speaker 5: achieving monuments and accomplishments that every kids as a college
Speaker 5: athlete wants to hit.
Speaker 4: So they will have been eliminated.
Speaker 5: Coastal Carolina will go on to play in the Men's
Speaker 5: College World Series. They will be playing LSU, who won
Speaker 5: against Arkansas late last night in a walk off. A
Speaker 5: couple of crazy innings. Arkansas pulled a similar thing that
Speaker 5: Arizona did to u of L a round before a
Speaker 5: lot of unforced eras mis catches a lot of hits
Speaker 5: and runs to take him out late in the ninth inning.
Speaker 5: Because I hate to say it, Arkansas has scored two
Speaker 5: runs at the top of the ninth to give themselves
Speaker 5: a little cushion over them.
Speaker 4: They gave They gave himself a five.
Speaker 5: To three lead cushion over them going into the ninth
Speaker 5: and LSU rally to score three runs in a walk
Speaker 5: off that tipped off the second baseman's glove to round
Speaker 5: out the runner at second to score an RBI game winner.
Speaker 5: It's that's why he's It's a lifestyle for a lot
Speaker 5: of people. It changes people's lives forever. You'd be surprised
Speaker 5: and perspective of how I do look and viewpoint of others,
Speaker 5: and even watching sports now from playing them, I don't
Speaker 5: really watch as a fan anymore. People always ask me
Speaker 5: what my team is. I have my team for basketball
Speaker 5: and football. Outside of that, I watch more.
Speaker 4: For analytics, skills, data.
Speaker 5: Development rather than not just going out there yelling at
Speaker 5: the TV at the game. But you know, we'll be
Speaker 5: having our World Series going on. They will be playing
Speaker 5: later on this week. They'll be playing in Saturday Coastal
Speaker 5: Carolina when LSU will be playing at six o'clock on
Speaker 5: Saturday for their game one.
Speaker 4: Game two will be on Sunday, and if they need
Speaker 4: to go to a.
Speaker 5: Game three, that will be on Monday at six thirty
Speaker 5: as well. So we'll get to kick that off this
Speaker 5: weekend with some exciting baseball going on.
Speaker 4: Huge stuff in sports, huge stuff. I love to see it.
Speaker 5: And obviously we still have tons of MLB baseball going on.
Speaker 5: They're still early in their seasons and I hate to
Speaker 5: see it. I remember we talked about it that the
Speaker 5: Rockies had the worst seventy games stretch history. They've bounced
Speaker 5: back and been winning games lately. They've been winning a
Speaker 5: lot of games they've been I think in the month
Speaker 5: of June and May alone they were up a lot
Speaker 5: of games.
Speaker 4: I know they won their first series in May.
Speaker 5: They beat the Washington Nationals twice in their series, so
Speaker 5: they're making some turnarounds. Show has come back. The Dodgers
Speaker 5: are kind of getting back on full steam again. They've
Speaker 5: won their last couple of games. Will Smith hit the pinch,
Speaker 5: hit home, running the knife to beat the Padres last night. Yes,
Speaker 5: U of L's across the board everywhere, and even we
Speaker 5: still have the Club World Cup, which I was talking
Speaker 5: about yesterday with Dante and my brother. The World Cup
Speaker 5: is still going on for the clubs, which is a
Speaker 5: little bit different, which is nice. The World Cup next
Speaker 5: year is actually gonna be held in the United States,
Speaker 5: which we might have to go to be held in Mexico,
Speaker 5: Canada and the US at a couple of different locations.
Speaker 5: So Man City played yesterday, Real Madrid Javentus.
Speaker 4: Which a lot of these clubs.
Speaker 5: If you're not a big soccer fan, these are the
Speaker 5: clubs that are probably some of the biggest clubs and
Speaker 5: most expensive sports organizations outside of MLB, NFL and baseball
Speaker 5: playing soccer players one hundred million dollars over four year
Speaker 5: spans at seventeen years old.
Speaker 4: It's phenomenal to see. I love soccer.
Speaker 5: I played soccer a little bit before I started playing basketball,
Speaker 5: so that's something that I always kind of have near
Speaker 5: and dear to my heart.
Speaker 4: I love watching the Premier League La Liga over in Spain.
Speaker 4: Huge stuff over there. So and also I.
Speaker 5: Almost forgot to touch in on it that we do
Speaker 5: got the Travelers Championship that will be coming on today.
Speaker 5: Scotti s Sheffier was the previous winner last year, but
Speaker 5: it's anybody's field this year. Obviously, they got tea times
Speaker 5: going off at seven am, so they'll be playing over
Speaker 5: up in Cromwell, Connecticut. They're playing TPC River Highlands, which
Speaker 5: is a phenomenal course. I saw a couple of pictures
Speaker 5: on a little bit earlier. There's a lot of names
Speaker 5: in here. I love seeing the tournaments. Were all the
Speaker 5: big names playing a Scotti, Scheffler, JJ Sponde, who just
Speaker 5: came off of his US Open championship this past weekend.
Speaker 5: Obviously you know he got the big names in their
Speaker 5: Rickey Fowler, Sam Bird's, Roy McElroy being there.
Speaker 4: So you always got to keep your eye on some golf.
Speaker 4: I love watching golf, specially on vacation. Hopefully we get
Speaker 4: to play over here.
Speaker 5: We drove by some courses coming from the airport. Our
Speaker 5: airport on this trip was a lot better than the
Speaker 5: Saint Lucian when you heard last year our Saint Lucian
Speaker 5: trip last year from the airport to the resort had
Speaker 5: to be one of the most bizarre rides in my
Speaker 5: entire life.
Speaker 4: I've never been carstick until that day.
Speaker 5: It was about about eighty nine miles of a windy
Speaker 5: back road, just going through pretty much.
Speaker 4: The jungle in the mountains.
Speaker 5: And if you've never had anxiety before, you would you
Speaker 5: would have had it would in the first time you
Speaker 5: had an anxiety attack in a bus.
Speaker 4: But this one was a lot more, a lot more leisurely.
Speaker 5: You know, you get into an uber coming outside the airport,
Speaker 5: you drive on the normal highways.
Speaker 4: The traffic here in the city alone, if.
Speaker 5: Panama City, if you've never seen it in person.
Speaker 4: The city's huge.
Speaker 5: We flew in on the airport I had I had
Speaker 5: the window seats, so I opened the window up.
Speaker 4: They got skyscraper buildings from miles miles.
Speaker 5: It makes Louisville look like a little hole in the wall,
Speaker 5: and I always saw pictures of it online, but it's
Speaker 5: so much different in person.
Speaker 4: It's crazy that some of the architect that they.
Speaker 5: Have in their buildings out here is something that you've
Speaker 5: never seen before. They got a Pandora building that looks
Speaker 5: almost looks like a spiral staircase that goes up probably
Speaker 5: fifty to sixty floors. It's a Pandora and we haven't
Speaker 5: figured out if it's the.
Speaker 4: Pandora Radio building or the Pandora Jewelry.
Speaker 5: Building, So we're still trying to figure that out, but
Speaker 5: we're gonna do some more research as we go around
Speaker 5: the city.
Speaker 4: We're gonna hit the.
Speaker 5: Canal today, hopefully with our mom and and sister and
Speaker 5: some of her friends. Getting later this weekend, we'll be
Speaker 5: able to go down to one of the beaches. We're
Speaker 5: in the heart of Panama City and the beach is
Speaker 5: tucked off about forty five minutes south.
Speaker 4: From where we're seeing.
Speaker 5: Usually we're just saying on the beach and away from
Speaker 5: the city, and this year is the first time we
Speaker 5: kind of switch it around to where we're in the
Speaker 5: city and then we can just go to the beach,
Speaker 5: because you know, the beach is nice. But sometimes you
Speaker 5: want to see the authenticity of different countries.
Speaker 4: Being able to see what.
Speaker 5: They eat, how they shop, what they wear, what they
Speaker 5: like to do in their free time. It's it gives
Speaker 5: you a big culture shock of how they live their
Speaker 5: lifestyles in different countries than how we live in the
Speaker 5: US because it's night and day.
Speaker 4: You know, we're very materialistic in the US, and I
Speaker 4: will say that when it comes to clothes, cars, watches, jewelry, money,
Speaker 4: over here, it's not the same thing.
Speaker 5: You know, you'll see people they'll be wearing the nicest
Speaker 5: suit you've ever seen, and they walk to work. I
Speaker 5: had to see two hundred people walking work in full
Speaker 5: suits yesterday when ninety degree weather and the humidity.
Speaker 4: Is high here, folks, it is high.
Speaker 5: It's not that Kentucky is humid, but it makes Kentucky
Speaker 5: seem like you're in a paradise. You walk outside of
Speaker 5: the resort and the sweat hits you as soon as
Speaker 5: you come out the front door.
Speaker 4: So if you ever want to lose some weight, Animal
Speaker 4: City is the place to come for you, because.
Speaker 5: You'll you'll sweat it all out In about fifteen minutes,
Speaker 5: but gosh, I know we'll hand it over to my
Speaker 5: father and we're gonna get a little bit into This
Speaker 5: Juneteenth segment informs the people of what's going on and
Speaker 5: what Juneteenth really is.
Speaker 2: Hey, joab nye, y'all can tell I'm on vacation.
Speaker 3: I'm just relaxing. It's just a beautiful day. I mean,
Speaker 3: it's a beautiful day here.
Speaker 2: But if you get an opportunity, definitely google Panama City, Panama.
Speaker 2: I can't wait to go see the canal and I've
Speaker 2: traveled quite a bit and.
Speaker 3: It's very, very close.
Speaker 2: It's the size of I think it's a little larger
Speaker 2: than a Chicago because it's got multiple.
Speaker 3: Segments of really high rises.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, it just surprised me how large this
Speaker 2: city is and how many people live here. And Anthony
Speaker 2: is correct, they still do wear suits and ties to work.
Speaker 2: I kind of like that, you all. But anyway, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna get away from that dressed down situation. I might
Speaker 2: get in trouble. So guys, we're already at about seven
Speaker 2: forty three. This is Juneteenth Holiday. There are a lot
Speaker 2: of people off. Most people aren't on today, but I
Speaker 2: came on for a reason. So I just wanted to
Speaker 2: explain to you a little bit about Juneteenth. And guys,
Speaker 2: we all do understand. History is the key. You must
Speaker 2: know it so we don't repeat it. Period point blank.
Speaker 2: That's all there is to it. And we all know.
Speaker 2: My dad told me a long time ago, and I'm
Speaker 2: gonna tell you, and I was bad.
Speaker 3: Guys, don't get it wrong. I was bad. That God
Speaker 3: gives you a little bird that's always with you.
Speaker 2: It's called You're conscious. He stands right on your show.
Speaker 2: He walks with you. You know when you do wrong.
Speaker 3: That's all.
Speaker 2: So when you get caught, don't try to hit me
Speaker 2: with the attitude because you know you're wrong.
Speaker 1: And I was wrong a lot.
Speaker 2: Bottom line, we all were. But we must know and
Speaker 2: learn what is right and wrong. Slavery was wrong, period
Speaker 2: point blank. Any piece of it was wrong, period point blank.
Speaker 2: And any piece of it that you think that we
Speaker 2: should lift up this period point blank and wrong. That's
Speaker 2: all there is to it. There is nothing else. I
Speaker 2: don't care what tells you. That's all there is to it.
Speaker 2: And history will tell us that. So seven forty four
Speaker 2: year times six forty four here when we come back.
Speaker 2: I got to hit you. I don't know how Sada Sanders.
Speaker 2: He was doing one hundred and one miles per hour
Speaker 2: in Strongville, Ohio. Of course, I coached for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Speaker 2: As you all can see, I've been fired from a
Speaker 2: lot of jobs. I tell people I've been fired so
Speaker 2: much it doesn't even bother them anymore.
Speaker 3: A lot of people get upset with losing their job.
Speaker 3: I'm like, why just go get another. One.
Speaker 2: Successful person is the person that just keep swinging, period,
Speaker 2: point blank, just keeps swinging. But he was at one
Speaker 2: hundred and one miles per hour. But here's the kicker.
Speaker 2: He was in a Dodge Ram TRX black. I got
Speaker 2: a Dodge Ram TRX black. I got it from a boy,
Speaker 2: Billy Hayes the downy country. I don't know how he
Speaker 2: got my car, Billy, but he did. But how much
Speaker 2: slow him down? I don't do one hundred miles per
Speaker 2: hour in the TRX. It will do it, guys. It's
Speaker 2: seven hundred and two horse power. It's crazy fast. I
Speaker 2: don't know how he got my truck, but we'll have
Speaker 2: to find out. We'll talk a little bit more about
Speaker 2: it after the break. This is the sports radio for
Speaker 2: numbers five zero two, five seven, one seventy nine hundred.
Speaker 3: We're in Panama City, Panama. It is juneteenth. Celebrate the
Speaker 3: date just like we do the fourth of July. Please.
Speaker 2: It is the same. That's all I'm telling people, guys.
Speaker 2: It is the same, exactly the same. We'll talk to
Speaker 2: you all in a minute.
Speaker 5: All right, Now, here's the d Welcome back to East
Speaker 5: fourth Radio time is six forty eight phone numbers five
Speaker 5: h two, five seven, one seventy nine hundred.
Speaker 4: We got to get back into our NBA finals.
Speaker 5: You know, this is a do or die situation for
Speaker 5: Indiana Pacers.
Speaker 4: And I say are Indiana Pacers.
Speaker 5: That's the closest team we got and that's the only
Speaker 5: team I can I can represent outside my Raptors, because
Speaker 5: my Rappers haven't been to the NBA playoffs since twenty
Speaker 5: nineteen when we wanted. But they're in a situation where
Speaker 5: that Game four put them in.
Speaker 4: A bit of a hold. I say a bit of
Speaker 4: a hold is.
Speaker 5: Having the lead going into the fourth quarter and down
Speaker 5: the stretch of the fourth quarter and to kind of
Speaker 5: give it away to the OKC Thunder tying that series
Speaker 5: two to two, to where you're going back to a
Speaker 5: Game five and Oka see giving them a home court
Speaker 5: advantage to possibly take a three to two lead back
Speaker 5: to the Pacers, where you're back.
Speaker 4: Is against the wall and you have to win a game.
Speaker 5: I hate to say it, but if you went to
Speaker 5: OKAC with a three to one lead, obviously you want
Speaker 5: to get the job done.
Speaker 4: In game five and close the series out.
Speaker 5: But there's not as much pressure to go out there
Speaker 5: and know you have to perform from top to bottom.
Speaker 5: And I say that in the sense is you know,
Speaker 5: pressure burst pipes or makes diamonds, and in.
Speaker 4: This case is you know.
Speaker 5: We've seen it on both sides for the Pacers, where
Speaker 5: they've hit game winners against New York, against Boston, against Cleveland,
Speaker 5: they've hit shots against OKC to where that they have
Speaker 5: flourish into a team that has been.
Speaker 4: Built for diamonds, not burst pipes.
Speaker 5: But in Game four, the pipes did burst on that one,
Speaker 5: and it showed itself and it detrimentally hurt. Everyone knows,
Speaker 5: even as Pacers fans, how.
Speaker 4: Tough a loss that was.
Speaker 5: Just seeing three to one across the board just makes
Speaker 5: you feel better.
Speaker 4: You can go into the game. There's a little bit
Speaker 4: more flow to it.
Speaker 5: There's a little more ease of mind, more clear thoughts
Speaker 5: when you're going there to two and you know you
Speaker 5: got to get this job done.
Speaker 4: Because Oka See winning an OKAC.
Speaker 5: You can see the drastic difference of how their playstyle is.
Speaker 5: They're smooth, composed, under control when they play in Indiana.
Speaker 5: When they go to OKC, they're soul rattled. They had
Speaker 5: six turnovers in five minutes of game four when they
Speaker 5: played up game I apologize in game two when they
Speaker 5: played in Oka See, and you can just see the
Speaker 5: huge difference of how they move and how they react
Speaker 5: from home court advantage to playing away in Oka See,
Speaker 5: and that that was one of the biggest things that
Speaker 5: I saw. Even with Halliburton, obviously he has a small
Speaker 5: cash strain, but I don't think that will really knock
Speaker 5: his game or how he plays. You know, he likes
Speaker 5: to move around the court, he likes to freelance. Yes,
Speaker 5: he is questionable, he likes the freelance. And you know,
Speaker 5: of overwatching Halliburton throughout the playoffs, he's grown more and
Speaker 5: more on me as a player because he's an unselfish
Speaker 5: superstar that wants to get his team involved.
Speaker 4: That's why Okay, see is the only team for all
Speaker 4: five starters to all average the other figures you're the
Speaker 4: only one.
Speaker 5: And I like how he's unselfish and he gives everyone
Speaker 5: an opportunity to go out there and floorish to where
Speaker 5: they don't.
Speaker 4: They can't necessarily just key in on one person.
Speaker 5: The only thing I will say is the games that
Speaker 5: Haliburton does go out there and he flourishes, where he
Speaker 5: has triple doubles twenty and fifteen, twenty and twelve in Sdiana,
Speaker 5: Pacers are in such a better position.
Speaker 4: To win games, it's not even close. That's the only thing.
Speaker 5: He doesn't have to do that every night because they've
Speaker 5: won games without him performing at such a high level.
Speaker 5: But it makes it so much easier for him when
Speaker 5: he does. And that's something that he has to bring
Speaker 5: to game five if he does play in game five,
Speaker 5: because they're going to need him. If not, I hate
Speaker 5: to say it, I would rather than just say that
Speaker 5: he's not playing in game five, rather than being questionable.
Speaker 5: It makes it easier for coaches the game plan. It
Speaker 5: makes it easier to have a layout and the foundation
Speaker 5: of what you're trying to do, rather than he's fifty
Speaker 5: to fifty.
Speaker 4: He can kind of move, he can't really guard.
Speaker 5: He's kind of timid out there, and that's something you
Speaker 5: don't need in a game.
Speaker 1: Five.
Speaker 2: Let's just keep it simple. Is over, okay, see in six.
Speaker 2: That's all there is to it. Cancel Christmas, I told y'all.
Speaker 2: Okay see, I'm bragging again. Okay, see, without a doubt,
Speaker 2: I think OKC closes them out tonight in Indy. But
Speaker 2: we'll be watching, and best of luck to the Pacers.
Speaker 2: But I think it's over. My brother's pulling for them,
Speaker 2: lives in Indianapolis, lives at Geist Reservoir. He's pulling for
Speaker 2: the Pacers. But it's over now. I had to do
Speaker 2: something for Anthey. I want you to pull it back
Speaker 2: up again. We were having the debate on Curry and
Speaker 2: Magic Johnson, and we've heard all the debates old school,
Speaker 2: new school, and I am not taking one thing from
Speaker 2: Steph Curry.
Speaker 3: I want people to understand he's changed the game.
Speaker 2: I don't know what I'm saying for the better, because
Speaker 2: people cannot. No one can shoot like that kid, no one, period,
Speaker 2: point blank. Every shot that boy takes, in my opinion,
Speaker 2: if it's not a layup, it's a bad shot does
Speaker 2: I mean that, and I mean he's shooting fifty to forty.
Speaker 2: I mean he's doing things that is incredible. He's a
Speaker 2: normal sized individual. He walks around.
Speaker 3: You wouldn't know him.
Speaker 2: If you were walking behind him, three people behind him,
Speaker 2: you would not say, oh, Steph Curry can be a
Speaker 2: great but he is. But I was telling Anthony that
Speaker 2: I want him to just look. So I had him
Speaker 2: go to the finals of Magic Johnson's rookie year, and
Speaker 2: I want you all just to hear the numbers that
Speaker 2: Magic Johnson put up. We offer get Anthony wasn't born guys.
Speaker 2: You have to understand that if Magic Johnson does not
Speaker 2: attract AIDS, the numbers are incredible. We're not talking about
Speaker 2: Jason Kidds and John Stockton's assist record. It wouldn't be close.
Speaker 2: Magic would have every record guys across the board. It
Speaker 2: wouldn't be close. His career was cut short. Everyone has
Speaker 2: to understand that in his prime, not cut short at
Speaker 2: you're eighteen, cut short at your eleven rolling, I mean
Speaker 2: playing at his best. So I want ant need to
Speaker 2: give you all these stats so people can hear when
Speaker 2: Magic Johnson had to kareem Abdul Jabbar did not play
Speaker 2: in Phillies in the final Game six, did not play
Speaker 2: Game seven. Excuse me, right, a game six? Okay, he
Speaker 2: did not play. Magic played center. He jumped center against
Speaker 2: Darryl Dawkins and Anthy. I'm gonna give it to you,
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna let you read his statistics out to
Speaker 2: everyone so that they'll know who Magic what he did
Speaker 2: his rookie year in the NBA when it was a
Speaker 2: grown man's league. When I say that, as I'm talking
Speaker 2: about when people got put down, I mean, guys, it's
Speaker 2: just a different league. And I'm glad they've changed the rules.
Speaker 2: When I played, it was really really physical. But I
Speaker 2: want to try to hear his numbers.
Speaker 5: Yeah, of course, So these numbers there were. Magic Johnson's
Speaker 5: final game of the nineteen eight NBA Finals, Game six
Speaker 5: against the seventy six Years.
Speaker 4: This was May sixteenth, nineteen eighty, the same year my
Speaker 4: dad won a national championship at UFL.
Speaker 5: So on this date they were playing in the Spectrum
Speaker 5: at Philadelphia and it was a high scoring game back then.
Speaker 5: The Lakers won one twenty three, one oh seven to win.
Speaker 4: That series for to two.
Speaker 5: Magic Johnson's game, playing in forty seven of forty eight minutes.
Speaker 4: Now, why was the sword?
Speaker 1: He started at.
Speaker 4: Center in place of an injured Kareem abdul ja Blar.
Speaker 5: He played all five positions during was a rookie at
Speaker 5: just twenty years old when he led the Lakers to
Speaker 5: clinch the NBA Championship earned NBA Finals MVP still only
Speaker 5: he's still the only rookie to ever win in the
Speaker 5: NBA Finals and get finals MVP. That is the reason
Speaker 5: why it's such an historic mark. Even the statistics alone,
Speaker 5: fourteen from twenty three perfect from the free throw line
Speaker 5: in almost every minute of the game is on the
Speaker 5: road is insane. That's insanity. People can't even do that now,
Speaker 5: I hate to say it. You'll see fifty to sixty
Speaker 5: point performances in the semi finals, in the Eastern Conference finals,
Speaker 5: Western Conference, maybe once or twice in the NBA Finals,
Speaker 5: But now as a rookie for an elimination game that's
Speaker 5: never happened.
Speaker 1: How many points?
Speaker 4: Well, he had forty two, forty two.
Speaker 5: I don't I can't name another rookie one that's even
Speaker 5: made it to the NBA Finals and too carried his
Speaker 5: team alone when the suit when the when the Hall
Speaker 5: of Famer won the second in scoring, wasn't even playing
Speaker 5: that game.
Speaker 4: That's insane. It's a remarkable accomplishment.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 2: I just wanted people to understand when we are talking
Speaker 2: about the goat, Michael Jordan didn't do that either, you own,
Speaker 2: and he was played against his sixers. It is Doctor
Speaker 2: J George McGinnis. We're talking about Hall of famers. We're
Speaker 2: not talking about bums. I want people to get that straight.
Speaker 2: We're talking about the best. We all know, Doctor J
Speaker 2: of the best. So we got one minute left in
Speaker 2: Panama City, Panama. Thank you Shennon for letting me know
Speaker 2: that tomorrow I will have the one and only Louisville
Speaker 2: great Damien Lee on with me. Phoenix Suns. Of course,
Speaker 2: well he's gonna be on with me the entire show.
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about it, we're gonna chop it all up.
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about paying student athletes, the NBA Finals,
Speaker 2: which I think ends tonight, his golf outing, and anything
Speaker 2: else that people want to speak about. So you'll have
Speaker 2: a fantastic day, Shannon, appreciate you. Like always, this is
Speaker 2: the sports radio I'm gonna tell you about the Panama
Speaker 2: Canal tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Can't wait to see you, Love you, bye bye,
