That's the only 5 00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:21.519 disturbing thing. Beautiful view, but raining like crazy. 6 00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:24.359 Welcome back. I hope you all have had a fantastic weekend. 7 00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:27.079 I heard that Louisville hasn't got a bit of rain 8 00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:30.839 ninety degrees. The summer's hit and hit hard, so I'm 9 00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:33.560 kind of looking forward to that. It's warmer in Louisville 10 00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:36.679 than it is here. It's humid in eighty five degrees, 11 00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:40.359 but it's not hot. So anyway, back to the show. 12 00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:42.880 Hope everyone's had a tremendous weekend. We've got a lot 13 00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:45.479 of sports to get to. Of course, you know, I've 14 00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:49.679 got two co hosts, and what is always late, my 15 00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:51.240 younger son, Anthony Eves is with us. 16 00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:52.880 So Andy, welcome to the show. 17 00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:55.880 Yeah, good morning, Welcome to EAT Sports Radio. 18 00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:56.439 Yeah. 19 00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.200 We've been getting rained last couple of days, but it's not. 20 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.359 Gonnak, not the spirit out here. Honestly, we skated over more. 21 00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:04.480 Rain than we thought we were supposed to here. We 22 00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:06.640 were supposed to get rained almost every day. If you've 23 00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:09.319 looked on the weather report, there's pretty much thunderstore is and. 24 00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:10.239 Rain since we got here. 25 00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:12.840 But it held off for about the first three or 26 00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:14.640 four days, so we still got to enjoy a couple 27 00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:17.640 of excursions, go outside, enjoy the view. So hope we'll 28 00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:19.840 we get lucky again where we could hit the beach 29 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:21.000 one day and it doesn't rain. 30 00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:23.879 Today or tomorrow exactly because we're out of here on Wednesday. 31 00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:26.480 But we just have to send some prayers up. But 32 00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:29.640 it's been a fantastic trip. It is a fantastic city, 33 00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:33.480 a international city. If you've never visited, you need to 34 00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:36.439 and you need to go see the Panama Canal. We 35 00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:40.439 got this other guy though, Anthony, we know this other guy. 36 00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.280 He's a Shaye Gildings Alexander Fan.

I told Anthony, George picked him at 47 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.240 the All Star Game. I said he's gonna be a 48 00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.280 good player. But I didn't think he'd be this good. 49 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:22.840 I didn't, George. I never would have said the most 50 00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:25.800 Valuable Player off that All Star Game.

Never. 52 00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:30.800 I would have never said. 53 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:30.960 That, George. 54 00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:33.319 I'm being honest with you. I would have never said that. 55 00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:36.120 And young kid has really really worked on his game. 56 00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:40.000 He's not super athletic, super fast, He's just worked on 57 00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:43.360 his game. So give him credit. He's world champion now, George. 58 00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.960 He and Cason Wallace.

There's a lot to 81 00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:52.120 get to that we're gonna let Anthony have. And then again, George, 82 00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:54.400 you're only with us on Monday and Friday. 83 00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:56.680 Then I would though it to you on where we start. 84 00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:58.599 I mean, we all know we're gonna start with the 85 00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:02.000 NBA Finals, but still, let Anthony get the national news 86 00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:04.319 out and then we'll go from there. I mean a 87 00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:06.560 lot of things are going on in sports right now, George, 88 00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:11.439 big draft and big trades, Kevin Durant, that'll be I'm 89 00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:14.000 gonna give you my opinion on that one, boy. 90 00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:18.000 Is I have to snoock up on me, Jerry, No. 91 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:21.600 I mean, just boy boom NBA drafts year. I mean 92 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:25.240 that's because everyone knows Cooper Flags won. Dallas Mavericks is 93 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:29.600 gonna be good. I mean, now Houston they're gonna be good. 94 00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:32.040 I've got some questions for you and Anthony, but I'm 95 00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:33.360 gonna do it to Anthony right now. 96 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:34.199 We're at sixteen. 97 00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:37.360 I'm gonna let him just get some of the national news, George, 98 00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:40.560 and we'll get into sports. Yeah. 99 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:42.399 Obviously, so we got a lot that happened over the 100 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:45.279 last couple of days, over this weekend, all the way 101 00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:49.560 from golf, basketball, baseball, WNBA, you name it, we pretty 102 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:50.160 much got it. 103 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:51.399 So obviously, the first thing we do. 104 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:53.040 Want to tap into we've been hitting for a long 105 00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:56.680 time is the NCAA Baseball College World Series. LSU did 106 00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.000 sweep Coast Carolina in a two game series. 107 00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:00.560 They've played Saturday. The first game. 108 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:03.360 LSU won one zero in that first one. Then they 109 00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:06.399 played yesterday afternoon and LSU won five to three, taking 110 00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:09.839 that two to zero league championship win against Coastal Carolina, 111 00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:14.839 the sixth straight time SEC team has won since the 112 00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:18.319 College World Series six in a row. That's pretty impressive. 113 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:21.399 I'll say that to say the least the same, especially 114 00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:24.199 in one sport because I've watched baseball. But one thing 115 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:26.439 I will say about baseball, there's more diversity when. 116 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:27.000 It comes to skills. 117 00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:29.279 You'll see team from Coastal Carolina, Murray States. 118 00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:32.040 You'll see it from time to time in basketball, Cinderella stories. 119 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:35.800 Football not as much. Football is kind of just the powerhouses. 120 00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:38.519 You know, even though you're right hates me because I 121 00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:40.800 said Indiana guy to my absolute luck last year, but 122 00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:43.600 they did. I mean we saw when they played. They 123 00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:45.800 lost by thirty against two ranked teams that they played 124 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.439 all season. So it's just not a surprise to me. Obviously, 125 00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.560 we had the Travelers Championship yesterday. Keegan Bradley did win yesterday, 126 00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:55.720 shooting minus fifteen at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut. 127 00:05:55.959 --> 00:06:00.000 Took home three point six million dollars. Talk about life 128 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.240 changing four days. All it takes is golf. Golf one weekend. 129 00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:04.800 You can turn into a millionaire. 130 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:05.639 Over a couple of good holes. 131 00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:08.040 But it is one I will say, it's gotta be one. 132 00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:09.439 Of the hardest sports in the world. 133 00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:12.720 I love golf, but it frustrates me like no others 134 00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:14.160 sometimes even though it shouldn't. 135 00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:17.199 But I love it. Then. 136 00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:20.160 Obviously, everyone saw the NBA Finals last night, the Thunder 137 00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:22.240 one in Game seven and one of three to ninety one, 138 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:25.439 Tyre's Holliburton tours Achilles in the first quarter, which we 139 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:27.680 all hated to see. It's just one of those championships 140 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.040 that do I think the Thunder would have probably beat 141 00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:33.600 the Pacers in my mind, yes, But the thing is, 142 00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:36.160 I can't say that I really know the outcome because 143 00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:39.120 their best player was out within the first six minutes 144 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:41.759 and he was shooting phenomenals three for four, nine points 145 00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:42.560 in seven minutes. 146 00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:43.600 I know. 147 00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:45.839 We sit there and talk about SGA, and I honestly, 148 00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:47.920 I'm glad the Kentucky kid is finally doing well. 149 00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:49.160 I like SGA. 150 00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:50.600 It's just sometimes I don't. 151 00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:53.079 It's it's and it's controversial for me. 152 00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:54.360 It's play style. 153 00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:56.800 He's efficient during the regular season, he was fishing during 154 00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:59.079 the playoffs. I'm just not the biggest fan of the 155 00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:01.519 push off all the time because it doesn't it's not. 156 00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:02.519 A two way street for it. 157 00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:04.639 In cases, he'll sit there and push off and do 158 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:07.480 step backs all game and dislodge players and score thirty 159 00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:09.240 points and shoot fifty percent from the field. And then 160 00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:12.079 there's games when people don't want to be pushed around 161 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:13.720 or they don't go for the push off and he 162 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:15.480 gets bumped off and then he kind of flops and 163 00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:16.920 then call the foul for him. So he goes to 164 00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:19.319 the free throw line eleven to thirteen times a game 165 00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:22.000 when people try to stand their ground, but if they 166 00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:23.720 don't and they get dis lodged and get pushed off, 167 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:25.560 then he shooes wide up in fifteen footers and it's 168 00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:28.079 just you gotta make it even for both sides. 169 00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:29.040 I understand that, you know. 170 00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:31.360 The offensive player does have an advantage in sports, especially 171 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:34.279 in basketball, but you can't make it almost impossible to 172 00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:36.120 guard them. It's just it's just to a point where 173 00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:36.759 it's just making. 174 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:37.519 It a little bit unfair. 175 00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:39.319 I don't think it's going to continue to go this way, 176 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:41.639 but people have been complaining about it for too long 177 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:42.560 to where that. 178 00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:43.439 That's just not going to be a thing. 179 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:44.639 I think in the next couple of years. 180 00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:48.319 Hey, George, I was telling Anthony James Harden. Of course 181 00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:50.240 he didn't win one, but he had a little thing 182 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:52.839 to where he was getting a lot of calls off 183 00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:53.360 the dribble. 184 00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:56.360 It just happens sometimes. What do you think, George about that? 185 00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:01.319 I mean, like I think, to live in the perfect 186 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:03.600 world and the perfect things happen, and you play a 187 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:08.240 certain way, Jerry, superstars get calls. The best players get 188 00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:12.000 the calls. I thought your boy ag Gilli Vanda was 189 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:14.399 getting beat up. I thought he played through it. He 190 00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:17.160 never cried here, and you if you look at his handles, 191 00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:19.240 the reason he can get off like he gets off 192 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:21.319 is because he can pet that ball and he can 193 00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:23.360 go where he wants to go and nobody can stop 194 00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:25.560 it from going. Every now and then, yeah, he may 195 00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:27.839 shove off, but everybody got pet mob. I didn't think 196 00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:29.399 it was a shove off because as much as he's 197 00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:32.399 getting off getting beat up, and he never complains, you 198 00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:34.759 never see him talks of rufid. I'm getting really foul foul. 199 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.519 So if I'm gonna take your beating up, and you 200 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:39.240 gotta take a little something for me too. If you're 201 00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:40.799 gonna get it, you gotta be ready to take it. 202 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:42.919 Is a physical game. 203 00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:49.440 Here's the deal. How look at the totality fifty nine 204 00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:54.120 from the field goal, tremendous field go fift thirty seven 205 00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:56.639 point five from the three. This is for the season, 206 00:08:57.159 --> 00:08:59.600 thirty seven to five. Any coach would take any day 207 00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:03.879 in eighty nine nine from the free throw line, flat flat, dad, 208 00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:08.159 Very very very good stats. Now, Anthony last night was correct. 209 00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:10.799 I didn't look at them. I was pushing a lot 210 00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:14.080 of praise the SGNA. He said, did you look at it? 211 00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:17.600 I said, he was eight for twenty seven, two for twelve, George, 212 00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:20.559 So I said, okay, but still Worlds champions. But I 213 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:24.639 understand the differential. I mean, what's going on is this, George? 214 00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:27.080 We were reading and of course he reads a lot 215 00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:30.080 of the stuff, but we were reading yesterday all the information. 216 00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:32.320 Doesn't have anything else to do, and they were talking 217 00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:35.559 about and some of the talking head's opinions was he 218 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:37.120 the worst MVP lately. 219 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:39.759 And I'm gonna hit you all with that later on. 220 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:41.080 I'll get in at today. 221 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:43.120 I'm gonna get it to you. I know it, George. 222 00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:45.200 It was just on the internet because you got to 223 00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:45.840 talk about things. 224 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:46.320 George. It is. 225 00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:52.120 So I'm gonna give you the stats. I'm gonna get 226 00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:53.919 into it, but we're not gonna get into it just yet. 227 00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:57.720 That's another segment when we're talking about Michael Jordan goats. 228 00:09:57.879 --> 00:09:59.720 We just got into the debates and we just want 229 00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:00.360 to see. 230 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:04.720 So for me, George, I was okay, see all the 231 00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:08.919 way I thought they would be O see case in Cleveland. 232 00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:10.399 Cleveland let me down. 233 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:12.039 They did. 234 00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:14.639 I mean they did have three starters, missed three playoff games. 235 00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:15.279 Yes they did. 236 00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.639 So you have to that's no team's good enough. 237 00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:20.720 If you said three starters out of OKAC was gonna 238 00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:22.679 miss three playoff games, I don't think they'd have won 239 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.080 it either. So I'm going to give that part that 240 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:27.919 much I have to give to the Caves. But I 241 00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:30.360 still thought it would be okay, see in the Calves 242 00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:32.759 and I thought, okay, you would win. That was my 243 00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:34.080 pick George when this started. 244 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:37.039 So what do you think, well, Jeah, I want I 245 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:39.120 want to go back to what Andy says about to 246 00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:42.960 push out two of the greatest plays in Michael Jordan's career. 247 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.399 People are calling the questionable about the pull out. I 248 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:50.120 mean push out us. You look at you look at Phoenix, 249 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.159 you look at Utah, you look at Phoenix. Yes, you 250 00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:56.440 look at Cleveland A three games, you look at three Cleveland. 251 00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:59.440 I mean that's just a move that's allowed in the NBA. 252 00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:02.039 And I and this new current player just don't like 253 00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:04.879 I mean plans don't like it. But the big players, 254 00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:06.480 that's a move that you make all the time. 255 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.000 Yes, the Byron Russell push off on the crossover, Yes, 256 00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:11.480 with that. 257 00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:15.120 You know, if it was alive, then give me a 258 00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:15.840 little comeback. 259 00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:20.240 I know it wasn't I it wasn't you name you 260 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:20.720 named to? 261 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:23.279 You named two plays and Michael Jordan's was the weakest, 262 00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:30.720 the softest push off of the century, delegated. You made it, 263 00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:33.200 Shaye did it for an entire season. If you guarded Shaye, 264 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:34.360 how would you feel getting pushed off? 265 00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:38.200 Would you get pushed off? 266 00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:39.600 Would you get pushed off forty times? 267 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.759 Again? Well, here's what happens. Then, This is what everyone knows. 268 00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:46.679 Other coaches during the playoffs, when they have those issues, 269 00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:49.399 they take the tapes to the NBA office. 270 00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:51.639 The NBA office is supposed to show. 271 00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:53.960 It to the officials, and then the officials are supposed 272 00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:55.919 to evaluate it, just like they do in the game. 273 00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:59.919 That's what's supposed to happen. Young Man, just we'll find out. 274 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.879 It's we'll find out as his career develops. Now we 275 00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:07.480 got to call at George. We gotta take Bubba walking 276 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:08.360 to the sports radio. 277 00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:10.960 Are you I'm good man? How you doing? 278 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:17.759 You know? We just we always do Bubba. Well. 279 00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:19.759 The only time I call it in is on Mondays 280 00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:22.000 and Fridays because I know I've got someone there with 281 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.000 some intelligence that can carry on the conversation. 282 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:24.440 I know. 283 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:27.759 Don't give gonna give you your tat, Paul, I understand. 284 00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:28.320 Go ahead. 285 00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:33.799 Hey, the first thing is damn rock and it's sham Rock. Yeah, 286 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:34.480 I can't stand. 287 00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:37.559 That's even worse when you added to Shamrocks. 288 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:38.559 In Yeah, it's. 289 00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:47.600 But the World Series, uh, college World Series. You know 290 00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:50.399 that coach got kicked out in the first inning of 291 00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:54.600 the first game. He was born good times, but I 292 00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:57.360 think that he should have U I'm part should have 293 00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:00.679 had a little bit thicker skin, uh in the situation. 294 00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:05.840 But it is. But but my main reason is the 295 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:08.840 call is that I understand that little is going to 296 00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:11.399 name the street after Tom Jersey, which is all find 297 00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:19.240 and good. But what's the delay with having there. There's 298 00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:24.080 no statue of west Antil anywhere. That guy with the 299 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:27.039 whole family, they're great. You know, I've really never met him, 300 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:29.960 but you never my mom My mother worked in the 301 00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:34.799 cafeteria back years ago at Seneca. Uh, they're just great folks. 302 00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:38.600 That guy's a legend basketball player. Uh here in the 303 00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:42.480 city of Louisville. You know, he's an NBA rookie. Uh, 304 00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:45.399 Rookie of the Year, we'll table player of the year. 305 00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:46.879 And I think he was the first one that ever 306 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:51.759 did it. I did explained to me the second Kareem was. 307 00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:54.559 Kareem was first. I mean, uh, will table it was first. 308 00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:55.799 West was second. 309 00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:57.960 Yes, go ahead. 310 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:00.840 But I remember as a kid going out to UFL 311 00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:03.919 games and watching him play, even though I called a 312 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.480 couple of games at Seneca. I mean, the guy was phenomenal. 313 00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:13.519 I mean, and I mean he's a guy when you 314 00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:15.840 take a little bit back in the day, him or 315 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:20.519 Charlie Tyree. But I'm just curious why they haven't had. 316 00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:23.039 Some for him. Let me tell you what. 317 00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:26.919 And I do know the entire family. 318 00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:30.600 I grew up next to them, Bubba from nineteen sixty nine. 319 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:33.720 On the first time I met Les until I was 320 00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:36.240 in sixty nine, we moved right next to them in 321 00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:39.960 Prospect and you touched the source. It's so funny. Coach 322 00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:42.360 Beer was saying the same thing. I was at the 323 00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:46.840 press conference last week when the mayor announced that they 324 00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:50.159 were going to be naming the street after Tom Jadge, 325 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:54.960 and I had no problem. You're with the naming of. 326 00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:59.360 Streets for people. My only issue with Louisville, and I 327 00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:00.759 do have an issue with them. 328 00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:05.720 Is that totality, the whole truth never gets told when 329 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:08.240 they are facts that are out there, but city and 330 00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:10.879 the leaders of this community won't say it. 331 00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:11.919 They just don't say it. 332 00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:15.559 So when you throw in the Western Sale Peace which 333 00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:19.080 was second to Wilt Chamberlain for MVP and Rookie of 334 00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:22.200 the Year. So we're talking about nineteen sixty eight, you 335 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:25.399 have a player from the city of Louisville that played 336 00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:28.639 at University of Louisville with coach Beard, who came after 337 00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:32.960 West because Western Sale signed with Louisville. 338 00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:36.039 And there was nothing for thirty five years. 339 00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:39.240 We know, the last fifteen years, like George says, all 340 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:42.120 schools are trying to give their players their roses before 341 00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:45.960 they die. But there was nothing on that campus for 342 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.399 West un Sale. There was nothing in the city for 343 00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:51.720 Western Sale. There was nothing anywhere other than at Seneca 344 00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:55.480 High School. It just doesn't make sense, So it's a 345 00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:58.399 sensitive thing with me. I have no problem with the 346 00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:00.799 Tomsrish thing. He did a lot of great things when 347 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:03.759 he was there. I just want, when Jerry's told the 348 00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.279 truth about what happened under his watch, that people say, yes, 349 00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:08.159 it happened, and quit being mad at me. 350 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:11.960 That's all. That just doesn't And Louis boy. 351 00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:13.799 When they want to cover up the cover up, that's 352 00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:15.639 all I'm saying, that's just the fact of matter. And 353 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:19.120 if you say the truth, boy, you're gonna get the 354 00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:23.240 irony like you've never seen before. So everybody gives me grief, Bubba, 355 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:25.639 because I tell him I'm a Louisville fan. 356 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:27.039 I am. 357 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:29.639 I think I'm the big Louisville fan in the city 358 00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:33.039 because I'll stand up for what's right, and dan it 359 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:34.519 I get hilified. 360 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:36.320 So Bubba, I'm. 361 00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:38.320 Gonna turn it over to George see. 362 00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:39.320 What he has to say about that. 363 00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:42.559 But the last or you'll know, when West died, his 364 00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:46.240 family said no to statues. And want everybody to understand 365 00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:49.360 that his wife, his daughter, his sons, I know all 366 00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:49.759 of them. 367 00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:52.799 They said no. They did not want him to be 368 00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:53.960 honored in that fashion. 369 00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:56.720 I can't tell you why I'm just saying that they 370 00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.759 did say no. Coach Beard Wade Houston, with a group 371 00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:02.960 of people that were going to do something for them, 372 00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:07.880 they said no. But that's after he died. I don't 373 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:10.559 know about before then. What happened for those thirty five 374 00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:13.799 years before that, I don't know what happened in Louisville 375 00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:17.799 and the recognition of west Unt. I just don't so, George, 376 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:18.880 there you go. 377 00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:23.960 But you know, you know, as time passes, it becomes 378 00:17:24.039 --> 00:17:29.000 more more more or becomes less relevant because there will 379 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:31.480 be less people to know what he was all about. 380 00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:33.119 Does that make sense? 381 00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:35.640 Yes, No, without a. 382 00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:36.880 Doubt, it does make sense. 383 00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:39.880 It doesn't make sense how it happened from sixty nine 384 00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:43.839 to seventy nine to eighty. Let's go and George, I'm 385 00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:46.440 not gonna take home, George throw in the World Championship 386 00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:51.119 with the Washington Bullets. 387 00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:53.119 Forever, go ahead. 388 00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:57.160 I don't think that's the most important point about who 389 00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:01.039 Westerntail is for the University of Louisville. Understand who Charlie 390 00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:04.319 Tyrae was. I know Charlie was a great guy. But 391 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:08.920 west unslled put uvel on the map with current basketball 392 00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:13.359 in the late sixties, when the NCAA became popular. If 393 00:18:13.400 --> 00:18:15.720 it wasn't for west Unsell, Loila wouldn't have been on 394 00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:17.759 the map. He led the conference. He's one of the 395 00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:20.839 most dynamic ball players that ever played here. And one 396 00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:22.960 of the things that you're missing and were talking about 397 00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:25.759 a sixth were talking about six six tenor in the 398 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:29.400 NBA being Rookie of the Year and MVP at the 399 00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:32.240 same time. You know what I'm saying, I'm heard of. 400 00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:33.279 And he was. 401 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:34.920
