Does I love giving him 48 00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:36.319 a hard time about it. Don't ask about how he 49 00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.680 played Despinay George, because he's swear up and down that 50 00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:41.560 he was just steal my brother's money left and right 51 00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:45.039 out there on the golf course. He's played horrible the 52 00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.159 first four holes and the next thing you know, he 53 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:48.759 was just stealing money out of his pocket. 54 00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:50.479 I don't know. 55 00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:53.800 I don't know because when we play in person, I've 56 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:56.680 yet to see that in those performances in person. But 57 00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:58.719 when he does play with my brother, I won't deny. 58 00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:00.560 I think he does play better. I don't think he 59 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.199 plays a good when I play with him. I don't 60 00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:02.759 know what it is. 61 00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:06.120 You may have an intimidating you know, he gets a 62 00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:10.360 little scared of you. As I'm saying, intimidation. You know 63 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:12.319 what I mean. You got it, you got him running. You 64 00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:13.919 know what I mean. I think I think you won't 65 00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:15.759 get my back. I think Frankie gives him a break. 66 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:17.680 You know what I'm saying. I think you go all out. 67 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:18.800 You want to destroy it. 68 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.560 I don't like to lose, but you know, in golf, 69 00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:25.319 I will say I probably the one sport I've lost 70 00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:28.360 more than My entire life is in golf because I'm 71 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:32.120 a slightly above average. It's not the same as basketball. 72 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:33.919 That's why I can control it a little bit more. 73 00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:34.879 Golf I can't. 74 00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:38.280 That's kind of sometimes it's working. Sometimes I'm the worst 75 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:39.159 golfer on the planet. 76 00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:42.039 But that's why I didn't play golf. Man, Now, I 77 00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:45.080 would be bankrupt because, like you say, I'm competitive as heck, 78 00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:47.039 and if I get out there and I start losing, 79 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:49.879 I'd be out there with them balls sitting every day. 80 00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.520 So I'm just glad I don't have that bug at all. 81 00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:56.680 Well, somebody I didn't want to get into, I think 82 00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:58.919 that this is more of your out. I think it 83 00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.840 was yesterday. Today is the fiftieth anniversary of the Kentucky 84 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:05.039 Colonels to feeding the Indiana Pacers and the ABA Championships. 85 00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:08.360 Players that were on that team. I know they had 86 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:12.520 artist Gilmore dan Issel and Louis dan Pere. You should 87 00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:14.639 be just a little bit about those players because I 88 00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:17.079 wasn't even alive on the Cuty Turtles who were around, 89 00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:19.160 so I have no idea about them. I know you 90 00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:20.439 know more information. 91 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:23.240 Than I did, right right, right, well, and now I'm 92 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:26.600 gonna tell you what's ironic. They were going to recreate 93 00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.000 the A B A here in Louisbroe and around the country. 94 00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:33.120 And at that time when they were going to recreate it, 95 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:35.879 and I was fortunate enough to be named the general 96 00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:37.720 manner of the new team that we were gonna bring 97 00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.720 to Louisville, even though it didn't come up come about 98 00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:43.079 as we wanted to, but I was fortunate enough to 99 00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:45.040 get the name of the m v P. I got 100 00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.199 to go to their fiftieth anniversary with artists gil Moore, 101 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:53.839 Dan Lseel, Royan Thomas uh Uh. I got mentioned my 102 00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.079 boy Allan Muffin from the University of Louisville. He got 103 00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:58.439 to play on that. Jimmy Dan Conners was on that. 104 00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:02.040 But Louis Dam I mean, you know, and what made 105 00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:03.839 it so good You had a lot of local presents 106 00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:05.600 on that team, you know what I mean. And it 107 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:06.920 was a heck of a league. And they were the 108 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:08.959 one who started the three point content, I mean really 109 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.000 the three point line man. And they had a red, 110 00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:15.240 white and blue ball which all attention. They had Doctor 111 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:17.879 j in the league. It was a phenomenal league. Uh. 112 00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:21.000 The iceman George Gervin, some of the best players that 113 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:25.560 moved over from the ABA to the NBA was during 114 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:27.759 that time. Man, But it was. It was a phenomenal time. 115 00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:29.720 And I liked it because you had two different leagues 116 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.160 and that's that was a rival were within itself. You know. 117 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:34.279 We used to play out at Crawl for gym and 118 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:36.120 it was so funny because Rich brig and then would 119 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:38.319 be out there and the NBA ball players would be players, 120 00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:40.240 and they would tell them, Man, we don't play with 121 00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:42.160 no red, white and blue ball, you know what I mean. So, 122 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:44.720 but it was a great time, man, And the ball 123 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:48.319 players they were lively and uh, I'll tell you a 124 00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:50.800 great study that I loved. Man, when back then they 125 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:54.439 would just buy the ball players, right. So, Moses Malone 126 00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:57.839 was one of the big time high school ball players. 127 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:01.800 And that's Semester dab too. And they allowed high school 128 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:04.439 ball players to go pro. You know, they were the 129 00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:05.160 first to do that. 130 00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:08.839 I don't even I don't I don't remember what year 131 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:10.680 they stopped it to where high school players you can 132 00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:12.720 go straight professionally. Now I know they kind of they 133 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:14.160 kind of go around the circles of it. Now, a 134 00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:15.639 lot of people were either play in a little bit. 135 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:18.040 They were playing on that G League in nineteen for 136 00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.439 a while, some kids went overseas they just drafted. But 137 00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:22.920 I know they changed the rule now. I think some 138 00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:25.360 of them, I think they're close allowed if I'm not wrong, 139 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:27.800 that they can go to the draft from prep schools. 140 00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:30.560 But obviously even with the from the prep schools and 141 00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.120 Juco's now is different. I know they're kind of getting 142 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.040 the way from all those players with the COVID going 143 00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.399 into like those fifth, sixth, and seven years. But I 144 00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:39.759 know that they changed the rule to where if you 145 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.040 played JUCO or if you play prep school, that those 146 00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:45.079 years don't count towards your NCAA eligibility, which is. 147 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:48.439 Gonna be aba, Aba, you can go straight straight. You 148 00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:50.480 didn't have to worry about you know, no other league 149 00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:52.240 did that. They just come and get you. And the 150 00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:53.959 thing I would change you about most of the malone 151 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:55.480 he went. He decided he was going to go to 152 00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.920 cost and go to Maryland. Uh. The ABA said, oh no, 153 00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:01.839 you won't. They drove up to Maryland and they had 154 00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:06.040 a Lincoln. They had an Imperial car Christler Imperial. They 155 00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:08.519 drove up and they had the trunk full of money, 156 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.759 and they said, and this if you sign now, this 157 00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:14.199 car and everything in it is yours. And he went 158 00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:15.800 and signed in the A B A. It was a 159 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:17.800 It was a fantastic league, and they had all kinds 160 00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:20.480 of crazy stories, man, and it was uh, it was 161 00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:22.360 something to see, man, and that three point line and 162 00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:25.680 the ball players individually. It was a great conference. And 163 00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:29.160 some of your best NBA ball players left there and 164 00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.800 went over to the NBA. So you know, San Antonio 165 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.800 was an ABA team. Them Nuggets is a ab A team. 166 00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:37.720 There were a lot. I'm glad they didn't give you 167 00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:39.240 that money because that whole school will be un an 168 00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:40.920 investigation right now currently. 169 00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:46.199 And I wouldn't have worried about it, but you could 170 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:48.079 believe one thing, I'd have been driving out of the 171 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:50.079 parking lot. I would have been talking out of the 172 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:50.600 parking lot. 173 00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:55.720 Yeah, you know, you have lines thing you had to 174 00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:57.680 file for insurance fraud or something. 175 00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:01.040 Whatever what it took. But I would have been driving 176 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:02.920 out to parking now with that car full of money. Though. 177 00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:05.240 But it was a great conference, man, And I tell 178 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:08.240 you one thing that also helped escalate the ball players 179 00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:10.720 getting paid too, you know, because they had to compete 180 00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:12.199 out the ABA will pay them a little bit more 181 00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:13.680 than the NBA will pay them a little bit more. 182 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:16.000 So it really helped the NBA ball players be able 183 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:18.160 to get a good side because up in the then, 184 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:20.079 a lot of the NBA ball players had to have 185 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.160 a second job, you know, while they were playing in 186 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:22.920 the league. 187 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:27.000 That's true. It's getting a lot more competitive now with 188 00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:30.560 with nils and money that's overseas professional. Come on, man, 189 00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:34.120 there's a competitive nature in every aspect and every level 190 00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:36.159 of sports, even high school. Now, I see high school 191 00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:39.039 kids kneel when we're in diamond chains walking around. They're 192 00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:39.879 not even in college. 193 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:41.960 It's crazy. 194 00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:44.440 I've seen it with my own eyes. I'm like, this 195 00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:46.360 is crazy. I look at them. I'm like you were 196 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:49.080 in a dining chain. Yeah, I got a couple of them. 197 00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:51.960 I'm like a couple, bro, I have one? 198 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:55.480 But right, right? But do you think that prepares them 199 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:57.639 better for the NBA? I mean, when they get ready 200 00:08:57.639 --> 00:08:59.159 to come out to do their contract, do you think 201 00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:02.000 that they're more prepared? You how you think that's affecting 202 00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:05.320 ball players leaving to go to the NBA, That preparation 203 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:06.080 for the NBA. 204 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:10.399 Ooh no, that's something I actually I'm gonna save that 205 00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:12.360 for when we come back from break, because that's okay, 206 00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:14.120 all right, somebody do want to get into. So we're 207 00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:15.799 gonna going and get into our first commercial break. The 208 00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:18.919 time is seven seventeen, it is Friday. We're gonna go 209 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:20.799 ahead and take that and we'll be right back. Is 210 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:23.720 e sports radio phone numbers five oh two, five seven 211 00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:27.120 one seventy nine hundred. Welcome back to the sports radio 212 00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:30.519 phone numbers five oh two, five seven seventy nine hundred. 213 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:33.080 I know George and I were just about to dive 214 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:36.159 deep into that topic talking about how that money management 215 00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:38.600 aspect for a lot of kids negotiating high school and 216 00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:42.279 prep school going into college, can help negotiate their contracts 217 00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:45.279 going even into the professional level. Now, I can't speak 218 00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:47.360 on it for because I don't know how there really 219 00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:51.679 contracts work. I don't know how they're actually fully paid. Obviously, 220 00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:53.799 we see accusations of how they're paid all the time. 221 00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:56.399 You know, some kids are projected making around two million, 222 00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:59.080 three million dollars. Some kids are making five hundred to 223 00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:02.360 seven hundred and fifty th dollars, which is not technically confirmed. 224 00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:04.519 They could be making less, they could be making more. 225 00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:07.720 That could be just a summary accumulative from their other 226 00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:10.360 you know, the sponsors, endorsement deals. I know some kids 227 00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:13.600 have with clothing, some have it with food, car dealerships, 228 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.480 whatever the case may be. But I hope that they're 229 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:19.080 going through these steps correctly. When it comes to negotiating 230 00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:21.919 the contracts, I hope they're doing it a lot smarter 231 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:24.720 than what I'm expecting in my head. I hate to 232 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:26.799 say it. I'm not saying every kid is like this, 233 00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:29.639 but I know myself at eighteen years old, if I 234 00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:33.159 didn't have a strong influence for my father, myself, or 235 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:36.240 someone that would help me manage my money a lot smarter, 236 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.480 there'd be a small chance that I would definitely blow 237 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:41.320 through a lot of my money very quickly at eighteen 238 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:43.159 years old. There's just a lot of money for an 239 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.080 eighteen year old to have. Most it's very rare. You're 240 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:48.240 in the zero point zero one percent of eighteen year 241 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.879 olds that could be a multimillionaire at that age if 242 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:53.879 you don't get drafted to the NBA, and I think 243 00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:56.159 that's just a lot to handle. You know, some kids 244 00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:57.919 handle it well. I think some kids might go out 245 00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:01.120 there to buy a jewelry, to buy a clothes they're driving. 246 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:04.240 You know, they're driving brand new Mercedes. It's just their 247 00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:06.639 lifestyle changes. You know. Everyone's like, well, if I had 248 00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:08.279 that much money, I would I wouldn't spend it on 249 00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:10.519 crazy stuff. I would just still live my normal life 250 00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:13.000 and just have money to account. But you know, it's 251 00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:14.720 hard to say that until you actually have that money 252 00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:16.960 in front of you. Then you can get to that situation. 253 00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:18.799 You're like, well, you know, you're not eating a lot 254 00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:20.600 of the noodles in the dorm room like I was, 255 00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:22.679 and even my dad was at the time, that you're 256 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.080 eating steak and lobster. It's just that bank account and 257 00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:27.879 you see those dollars in there. It just doesn't work 258 00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:30.639 the same. And I think that is something that I 259 00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:32.559 hope that they're at least teaching them, taking classes on. 260 00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:35.720 I know, some class some states other than Kentucky, North 261 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.200 Carolina where I went to school, and offer finance classes 262 00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:41.120 in high school, which I wish we would have offered here, 263 00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:42.679 which I don't know why they don't do it in 264 00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:45.960 every state. I think it's just just smart overall to 265 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:49.960 offer that to everyone. I mean, it's just base knowledge, 266 00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:51.360 you know. I think you need to know how to 267 00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:53.200 fire your taxes and need to know how your taxes 268 00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:56.960 work income for one kge retirement plans. That's just the 269 00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:58.919 way life is nowadays. And they don't teach you that 270 00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:00.799 in high school. They'll teach you how to do a 271 00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:03.039 math equation that you'll never see again in your entire life, 272 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:04.639 but they won't tell you how to fire your taxes, 273 00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:07.320 which is just kind of silly to me a little bit. 274 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:09.799 But I hope it changes. I least I hope it 275 00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:12.639 changes in Kentucky. So that's one thing I do want 276 00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:14.559 to get on. But another thing I do want to 277 00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:14.840 get a. 278 00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:19.399 Topic of is we're talking about and can I say 279 00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:23.759 something on that before you finish it up? Yeah? Well, well, 280 00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:26.039 like I said, you know, you were speaking about a 281 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:28.440 young man eighteen and nineteen years old being able to 282 00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:31.960 handle their money and to do with that. Well, I 283 00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:34.320 can speak for it on first hand because I watched 284 00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:36.200 when Derek was coming out of school and how these 285 00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:38.559 agents work and how they come at you like piranhas, 286 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:42.320 and like I say, they don't give you a chance. 287 00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:45.200 They will promote you to start spending your money because 288 00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:47.480 they make more money off of you. And so you 289 00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:49.519 know you're talking about an eighteen year old and a 290 00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:51.799 parent that's not been experienced and I had that kind 291 00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:54.039 of money. It is very traumatic for them to go 292 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:57.240 there because you know, you can easily go back up 293 00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:59.960 really quickly because they will feed you whatever you want. 294 00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:02.159 They will, in fact want you to get more than 295 00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:04.120 you really need. And you have to keep up the 296 00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:07.480 equations and keeping up how much you're spending really all 297 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:10.480 the time because you know they will and they will 298 00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:12.279 take a percentage out of anything they do for you. 299 00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:14.279 And I don't know if it's the same way on college, 300 00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:16.840 but I doubt that college was providing them with agents 301 00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:18.879 and that they had to you know, can take only 302 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:21.120 so much of a percentage out of their money and 303 00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:23.600 stuff like that. I just think that's gonna be uh. 304 00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:25.960 I think it's very beneficial. And like you were talking 305 00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:29.360 about the financial program now this year in Kentucky, I 306 00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:31.480 think they'll passed a bill that they will be teaching 307 00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:34.240 in all schools how to bank and the finance and 308 00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:37.960 uh your money now. So I think it's what you 309 00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:39.679 say and is coming to past. And I think that 310 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:41.919 even those that don't play pro need to know how 311 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:44.120 to handle that money and be able to use their 312 00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:46.279 money in the correct way, so it'll be beneficial to 313 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:48.200 them later on in their life. So I just wanted 314 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:49.039 to add that. 315 00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:52.279 Well, I appreciate one hundred percent. I'm glad to bringing 316 00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:54.919 that here too, because it needs it needs to be 317 00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:57.519 for for any for anyone coming from growing up, or 318 00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:58.360 any student. 319 00:13:58.080 --> 00:13:58.279 Not so. 320 00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:01.639 You're not the only ones you know, and I hate 321 00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:03.600 to say it, every the old athletes. If you look 322 00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:06.799 at a percentage of even wealthy people in America, a 323 00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:10.440 very low percentage comes from athletes. You know, Athletes don't make. 324 00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:13.399 The world about one percent, don't about one percent. 325 00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:15.519 They really don't. They don't make the world go around. 326 00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:17.480 Everything's Oh, the only way I can make it is 327 00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:20.679 I become a professional athlete. And like the people that 328 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:22.399 you see then you drive by the big house in 329 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:25.320 the neighborhood, ninety nine point nine nine percent of those 330 00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:27.320 people are not athletes. They probably never even played a 331 00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:29.879 score in college. So don't let think app sports is 332 00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:31.600 the only way that you can feel like you can 333 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:34.039 be successful or make money, because it's one hundred percent not. 334 00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:37.960 But that's one of the ways they program programming on people, 335 00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:40.759 and they program you to believe that it's an easy way, 336 00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:42.360 and this is the easiest way you can do. All 337 00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:44.120 you got to do is run and have fun, jump 338 00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:46.600 up and down and play basketball. The basketball is all 339 00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:48.919 they on TV so that they can use advertisement to 340 00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:50.960 sell the products. They're making the money for those people 341 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:53.120 that you're talking about on the sideline. That just making 342 00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:55.360 the real money, you know what I mean, because a 343 00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:57.519 lot of people don't understand the athlete. They're not making 344 00:14:57.559 --> 00:14:59.440 the most money. They just make you think they are 345 00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:02.039 because they give you, Oh, he's making three hundred million dollars, 346 00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:04.159 but they don't break it down how much he gets 347 00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:06.960 every annually. Every year. He doesn't get three hundred million 348 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:09.000 a year. Some people think that when they see the 349 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:11.600 three hundred million, it's annually. It's not an annual thing. 350 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:17.480 No, that's true. Just you know, just there, don't suck 351 00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:20.360 your kids thinking and to being you know, don starry acting. 352 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:25.399 It's the only way. But something else. We were just 353 00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:28.320 we were just talking about the Pacers and the Kentucky 354 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:30.600 Colonels with the Avia still got to get into. 355 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:33.399 Oh man, that was a game. I was arrival with 356 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:36.120 that by that was I think. 357 00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:39.000 That was the most electrifying game that I've watched on 358 00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:42.399 TV of sports. Probably I don't even want to sit 359 00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:44.799 there and like it is probably my I can be 360 00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:47.200 like in the last probably five years I watched NBA 361 00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:50.120 basket I always gonna say my entire life, but a 362 00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:52.519 statistic it was like at a nine hundred and ninety 363 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:55.200 four games, It's never happened where teams came back down 364 00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:56.720 from fourteen and under two minutes. 365 00:15:56.919 --> 00:15:57.159 Never. 366 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:02.399 I don't know if the fact that I feel like 367 00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:05.320 I've seen it more happen more in college sports because 368 00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:07.840 college kids kind of folding the pressure sometimes, especially you 369 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:09.879 know in the tournament, you have those little miracle runs 370 00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:12.480 that small school gets trapped full court by an SEC 371 00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:15.279 team that start turning the ball over, it starts scoring, 372 00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:18.039 the dribbling off or foot. It happens more in college 373 00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:23.320 sports because they're just not well you know, but no, 374 00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:24.320 I just go ahead. 375 00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:28.320 I just thought, well, I think the difference in college 376 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:31.799 and pros though, and is everybody in the pros level 377 00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:35.600 with all somebody all American, all everything. They understand how 378 00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:39.000 to play basketball a lot. There's no weak links in 379 00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:42.559 uh pro ball. Most of all them players got real game. 380 00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:45.159 But the thing you have in college you've got freshmen 381 00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:47.720 you've got people who are really coming into the game. 382 00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:51.039 They're really developing the game at that point. So you know, 383 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:53.639 you have advantages that you can take up of in 384 00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:55.559 college more than you doing the pros. Most of the 385 00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:58.399 pros are experienced players and there are a lot strong 386 00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:00.759 and a lot more better than Each player is better 387 00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:02.720 than the average college ball player because you may have, 388 00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:06.440 like a good example with Scott, Scott's basic asset was 389 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:08.799 just to grab the ball and dunk it in the basket. Well, 390 00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:11.000 you know you got centers now there after shooting the threes. 391 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:13.079 They can handle the ball, they can do a lot more. 392 00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:16.960 They more got more attributes now than they did, uh 393 00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:19.400 what between the college and the pros. So I think 394 00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:21.720 that's a big difference when you watch him play college 395 00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:23.839 ball players, Like you say, you got a freshman that's 396 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:25.839 never been under that pressure. You don't know what he 397 00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:28.200 may do under that pressure. But a lot of pro 398 00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:31.319 ball players they've been under the microscope all their life. 399 00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:34.559 That is true. But I know you're talking about even 400 00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:35.880 with the big men of being able to stretch the 401 00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:38.759
