I saw it today. I was watching 39 00:01:58.599 --> 00:01:59.920 the NBA to day. More than a lot of us 40 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:04.480 world in one game. Yeah, three sixty four, Yeah, three 41 00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.120 hundred thousand, and he can't find the passion to play 42 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.479 three hundred and sixty four thousand dollars a game. 43 00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:12.599 You know, as a Suns fan, it's gonna work out 44 00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:14.960 for them. They're gonna get bubbler eventually, because that's how 45 00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.719 the NBA works. But this is why people get tired 46 00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:20.560 of the NBA. A star is making you know, is 47 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:24.080 about to make fifty five million if he signs option 48 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:26.439 into this option next season, but he can't find the 49 00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:28.280 passion he wants out he can playing. You're on a 50 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:31.800 playoff team, Shut up and play. 51 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:34.439 It's that simple. Well see you see you're it's a 52 00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:38.840 player driven league. No, no, Troy, I know you're a 53 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:41.879 little veteran now covering this team. I've been doing it 54 00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.840 too long. I've already been jaded for a long time. 55 00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:46.919 It's it's headed that way, and it's been that way 56 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:48.879 for a while. Look at look at the NC DOUBLEA. 57 00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:51.840 Now it's a player driven they're in charge of the 58 00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:54.159 of what's going on. You don't like me, you don't 59 00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:56.639 play me, I'm going. I'm gone. Now this is the 60 00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:59.360 same situation, just but you're You're in every league. It's 61 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:01.360 pretty much I don't like it. I'm gonna go. 62 00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:03.319 NBA is the worst. So you don't see no question. 63 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.879 You don't see MLB being able to move that easily. 64 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.960 NFL they can't move that easily. There's some tyrants, you know, 65 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.280 and stuff like that. But this is I don't feel 66 00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:14.240 like playing. I have more power than the ownership group by. 67 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:19.080 Right, no question. It's just you know, I could tell 68 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:20.840 people on this show I'm not a sports fan, and 69 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:22.719 this is one of the reasons you just get to 70 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:26.080 talk about it. It's yeah, it's you know, to tell 71 00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:28.000 you I get about maybe ten years left of doing 72 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.120 what I do and love what I do. Obviously you 73 00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:32.520 got a long time if you can continue both you guys, 74 00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:35.159 But this is what you'll do with every year? 75 00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:37.759 Well, yeah, it will get worse every year. Oh yeah, 76 00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:41.199 because you've already opened Pandora's box. You can't shut it. 77 00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:43.879 No, and it's going to be worse even at the 78 00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:47.080 this level that we cover. I wouldn't guess how much 79 00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:49.479 Caleb's making. I wouldn't guessed how much no one is making. 80 00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:53.280 But but I'm sure it's a lot. And how did 81 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:53.560 that go? 82 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:58.159 Yeah, well that I think the issue of today is, 83 00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:00.479 let's let's be honest. A lot of plays were making 84 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.479 money back in the day. That sure nobody under the table. 85 00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:07.000 The difference is that transfer portal rules where I can go, hey, 86 00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:09.560 this didn't work out this year. This guy's gonna give 87 00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:12.080 me a little bit more. Bye, I'm transferring again. I'm 88 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:13.159 on my fourth school, and for. 89 00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:14.680 Sure we see that a lot. 90 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:16.959 They need to reel it in with the transfers a 91 00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:17.319 little bit. 92 00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.199 But how do you do that? Yeah, we'll see what happens. 93 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:22.759 Arizona baseball pick to finish second in the Big Twelve 94 00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:23.839 in debut season. 95 00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:27.959 They're I think nineteenth eighteen. I thought I was twenty first. 96 00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.639 They could be nineteen to that range though, yeah, twenty 97 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:32.839 one last week. I make sure there's more than one Polly. 98 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:33.079 Oh. 99 00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.000 Yeah, we're gonna try to get Chip Hail next week 100 00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:38.079 to talk about all this. They've been good and lust 101 00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:41.120 he's had them pretty good. They've been solid. Yeah, saw 102 00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:42.759 what that means? What I mean? 103 00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.920 They're making the post reason, they're making a run, they're 104 00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:46.879 not making a deep run. 105 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:50.240 No, So that's solid. You're you're winning the conference. Okay, 106 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:54.560 so that's solid. Is there a little basketball solid exactly? 107 00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:54.920 Well? 108 00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:56.480 No, no, it's a serious question. 109 00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:56.800 No. No. 110 00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.399 I well it was on the basketball that they've been solid, 111 00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.199 but they haven't been the expectations of Arizona. I think 112 00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:05.199 the same could be sad for baseball. The expectations haven't 113 00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:07.240 been met. Oh well, okay, good. 114 00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:11.279 Arizona women's basketball gets first home win in Big Twelve 115 00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:12.399 play vers Cincinnati. 116 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:14.439 Yeah, you know, I guess one of the reserves came 117 00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:17.759 through yesterday. Yeah. Swan she was a player of the 118 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:19.800 Week and the Big Twelve. She's the one that had 119 00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:21.519 a lot of points last Yeah. She she was a 120 00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:23.360 great interview at the end of the game. I saw 121 00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.000 that on TV and she was very critical of herself. 122 00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:29.240 She said, when Adia gets on her and she appreciates it, 123 00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:33.600 she plays better. So, oh wow, refreshing, And. 124 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:36.720 You got to find those players. She's going to find 125 00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:39.639 those better because that's her coaching stuff. Same back in 126 00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:43.000 the day of Bobby Huggins, same with BoNT Night. And 127 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.319 I'm not saying she's like that's agreed, but if you're 128 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:48.639 a hard nosed coach, you better have hard. 129 00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.079 Nose players that you appreciate that coaching. Sure, and I 130 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.480 think over the last few years she hasn't found those players. Yeah. 131 00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.360 Head coach Kevin O'Connell has been voted as coach of 132 00:05:58.360 --> 00:05:59.680 the Year by the PF. 133 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.519 You a good coach. I mean they did put fourteen 134 00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.199 and two or fourteen whatever it was, fourteen three, fourteen two. 135 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:09.160 Yeah, first round exit. I mean you had Sam Darnold 136 00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:13.040 nobody expected that out of Sam Donald. Right, should you 137 00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:14.519 have been coach of the Year, I don't know. I 138 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:17.680 would have given it to Dan Campbell with how many 139 00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:20.720 injuries they had into Yeah, you won the you won 140 00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:22.439 the conference league, right. 141 00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:24.120 I mean you won the division? Who votes for that? 142 00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:26.680 This is the pro football writers? 143 00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:31.639 Okay, butch of writers don't know what they're talking. I 144 00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:31.959 am one. 145 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:35.279 Yeah, that's it for today's breaking. 146 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:39.439 Okay, Okay. There's still some thoughts that that the NBA 147 00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:42.959 might have an international league. I guess yeah. Commissioners Silver 148 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.160 talking about that today officially. But Lebron's not part of it. 149 00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:47.720 He said, No, I'm not part of it. Not gonna 150 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:48.000 be back. 151 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.399 Can we stop changing stuff and we appreciate what's good 152 00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:53.920 and what you have on the on the court and 153 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:57.040 go back to maybe a little bit more rugged style. 154 00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:03.040 No, your Pendora's box is open, like you said, And realistically, 155 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:05.120 I wouldn't know what the percentage. Maybe you can google 156 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:07.839 it on their thing. How many international players are in 157 00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:10.800 the NBA Now, I'm cauching maybe thirty forty percent. I 158 00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:13.360 was gonna say near that thirty five forty. It was 159 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.319 just maybe I don't know. Aaron Gordon maybe maybe ten 160 00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:19.079 years say ten years ago, uh, maybe a little less, 161 00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:21.800 when the guys were coming out early, right, a little early, 162 00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:24.240 and the euro euros were being picked ahead of them, 163 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:26.240 and people were saying that shouldn't be allowed. You know, 164 00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:29.600 this is the you know, the United States's NBA. No, no, no, no, 165 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:32.360 it doesn't work. Life isn't like that.

Did he get Yeah, but I haven't 184 00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:15.079 heard his name much now, and you get maybe you 185 00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.720 get lost in Portland, but you get lost in being 186 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.639 okay with being mediocre. Yeah, yeah, yeah, who would you take? 187 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.000 And I said this all the way from I'm just 188 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:26.160 saying this just to the pop of my head. Uh 189 00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:30.000 Aidan or marketing. I think Mark Oh without qu I 190 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:32.759 wouldn't even have a second thought, because one's hungrier. Yeah, 191 00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:34.480 and I thought that when he came here. I love 192 00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.639 the way marketing to play inside outside. He good body, 193 00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:39.639 He could shoot it. He can. He was aggressive for 194 00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:41.600 yeada yea now now if you give me the hunger. 195 00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:44.200 In terms of talent, I think Aiden's one of the 196 00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:46.159 more talented players Arizona's ever had. 197 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:48.639 But if you don't have that drive, he didn't have 198 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:50.279 it for for the time. 199 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:52.840 He didn't have it for Arizona. He rarely had it 200 00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:55.240 in high school. I have heard from many people he did. 201 00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:58.279 He definitely didn't have it with Phoenix. He definitely doesn't 202 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:01.120 have it in Portland. You are who you are if 203 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.879 you have a team lies one talent, but you don't 204 00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:04.600 you don't care. 205 00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:07.039 What does that matter? Yeah, you're right. 206 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:10.039 There are one hundred and twenty five international players, one 207 00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:11.000 on each team. 208 00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:13.240 At least on the team, one hundred and twenty five points. 209 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.440 The rosters ten twelve thirteenth players. 210 00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:20.279 Yeah, thirteen, that's the most international players. 211 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.039 It's going to be about twenty five percent. Then, yeah, 212 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.559 twenty five percent of them. Yeah. Did you know who's 213 00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:29.720 the start for Oklahoma? Sag gah whatever? Canadian? He's Canadian. 214 00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:33.200 He didn't play college? No, yeah, yeah, you played Kentucky. Oh, 215 00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:34.159 he was one of those guys. 216 00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:37.399 Yeah, okay, Kentucky one and then okay, but he wasn't 217 00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:39.720 great at Kentucky. You kind of kind of similar to 218 00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:41.120 Russell Westbrook at UCLA. 219 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:43.440 Yeah, makes go under the under the wire a little bit, 220 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:45.759 your top ten picks and then all of a sudden 221 00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:47.720 you burst out. Yeah no, no, I didn't. I didn't 222 00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:50.919 remember that. I didn't realize that. But yeah, no, he's fantastic. Yeah, 223 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:54.000 and he could be the new face outside of Wimby. Well, 224 00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.000 there's one BEYONDA. There's also well, let me, I think 225 00:09:58.039 --> 00:09:59.960 he's going to be better than one BEYONDA. To be honest, well, 226 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:04.440 I do, I think where did you come from? What 227 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:08.799 it's a guard driven league. Yeah, but that dude's fantastic. 228 00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:10.480 Yeah, but if you haven't been played at the perimeter, 229 00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:11.679 taking ten threes a game. 230 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:14.720 It makes sure make sure that this is his last day. 231 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:18.039 Do you remind me of what I haven't on? Just 232 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:19.080 say never mind, never mind? 233 00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:22.159 Yeah, Okay. My point is it's a guard driven league. 234 00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.440 And you look at the faces of the NBA. Let's 235 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:27.559 talk about that. They're not American players. You're talking about 236 00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:31.360 Luka Doncics, you're talking about uh, you're talking about the 237 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:34.799 Greek freak. You're talking about now, Shane Giltrick's Alexander. Where 238 00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:37.279 do you get to an uh American player? 239 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:39.799 How old? 240 00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:42.840 He's maybe Minnesota? What's the saying? I can't think of 241 00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:45.080 it off the top of my head right now. Yeah, 242 00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:49.600 jo no, no, no, no, non, Anthony Edwards, John Morant, that's 243 00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:50.080 another one. 244 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.960 But they're not better than those guys. Yeah no. And 245 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:57.000 we've been talking about that for years now, that the 246 00:10:57.279 --> 00:11:00.480 invasion from the euros or international players. What's there? 247 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:03.879 What's the difference between European basketball and American basketball right now? 248 00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:08.879 European fundamentals, that's it. But it's always been the case. 249 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:10.559 But it's always been the case. But back in the day, 250 00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:11.879 you didn't have so many aaus. 251 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:13.919 You had the players coming out of high schools, coming 252 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:16.600 out of colleges where they trained with the one guy, 253 00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:17.159 one voice. 254 00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:19.440 Yeah, that's where you asked the question for the exactly 255 00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:21.840 the coach. No, No, you've always had that, You've always 256 00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:24.919 had that, But no, it's more prominent, always had that. 257 00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:28.519 It's just not a structured situation. That's I think that's 258 00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:30.679 what you're getting at, because you could have somebody's uncle 259 00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:32.919 coaching and yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not structured. Yeah, yeah, no, 260 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.320 and you said it earlier. I mean they're when they're 261 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.240 when the sixteen year olds are playing against the man, 262 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:42.360 you learn to get good quickly exactly. Yeah, and that's 263 00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:45.720 what they're doing. I remember Luta did Jeffson something so 264 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:49.519 Luton and Bobby Huggins were that had to be ninety 265 00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:52.000 one ninety two when I first started coming louton back 266 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:54.080 in the day, and they had a they had a 267 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:56.080 thing in Phoenix and and part of my story was 268 00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:59.039 they went to Europe or they went overseas to coach 269 00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:01.440 you know, the Euros, you know, just to be part 270 00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:03.879 to get the game going outside. That was thirty five 271 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:07.639 years ago, and he says, he says, Steve, it's going 272 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:09.240 to be huge down the road. They're going to be 273 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:12.000 coming in huge and low and behold, it's been huge 274 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:13.919 for last ten to fifteen twenty years. 275 00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:18.879 Yeah, I mean, actually have been nineties.
