It's time to go one-on-one with D.P. Coming at you live from the Coppull Chevrolet GMC Studios. Here is your host, Derek Pearson, presented by Beatrice Bakery, on 937 The Ticket and the Ticket FM.com. One-on-one on a Tuesday, 402, 464-5-6-85, Honolinkin Hotline. Sauter Hamid, Texas, I want to thank the folks from Beatrice Bakery for making this hour happening and making it go. as a matter of fact.

Today is Make a Smile Day. Care Package from Beatrice Bakery on this show in this hour. You can go to the ticketfm.com and look for the Beatrice Bakery tab. It'll be the first thing that pops up. You can click on it. Just think of it this way. It's a chance to make someone's day better.

somebody who just handles their business, somebody that overlooks and oversees for the goodness of others, somebody who works hard, somebody who deserves celebration, somebody deserves a pat on the back, somebody that is going the extra mile and taking the extra step and doing the extra work that nobody else wants to do or can do. Somebody that's there for you,

somebody that's there for others, Somebody that's there for anybody who crosses their path and just deserves an add a boy or an add a girl. Now, you can add those nominations to the text line. I would rather they be on the banner because it gives us more information to work from and allows it for us to follow up. I will also say this, depending on the volume, There may be some others that we can do along the way. I just want to take the chance to take this opportunity to make somebody's day. No other reason other than they're good people.

There's some people that you care about, people that you want to acknowledge. Also for that, Thursday and Friday, Buffalo Wings and Reney 68th and O. I think we figure out a way to give out the bulk of those packages Thursday and Friday there at Buffalo Wings and Rings and just have people pick them up or maybe we'll take nominations there as well. Thursday and Friday, March 17th and 18th, we will be at the 68th and O Buffalo Wings and Ring live shows from 11 to 6 both days. So, you know, the first 64 people to show up on Thursday

will get a ping pong ball of a team in the tournament on it. If the team makes the funnel four, you'll win sweet prizes. Prize giveaways at the top of every hour both days. Free raffle tickets, no purchase necessary. Don't have to buy anything. Just come hang out. Now, of course, you're going to get there and you're going to get wings and maybe some beer, maybe a burger. You can go do that.

Free raffle tickets. Just free for showing up. Prizes like appetizers, beer tubes, gift cards, and more. We've got all sorts of cool stuff being loaded and lined up here at the station. so we can do that. Wings, beer, and basketball and, oh, yes, Wichita. Much better than that. March of Mayhem, this Thursday and Friday, Buffalo Wings and Ranged 68th and O. Please don't forget that St. Patrick's Day.

Prepare yourself. Don't be irresponsible in it. Get some wings in your belly first and then engage. Right? And low-key, they may have the best french fries in the area. So, you know, you could do that. So again, text line for Beatrice Bakery nominations. Seriously, just pause for a second and just think of, is it a significant other?

Is it somebody you're trying to impress? Is it somebody that you work with? Is it somebody that you work for? Is it somebody you work around? somebody that showed up for you, right, in a time of need. Is there somebody whose shoulder you lean on or that others lean on? Get those nominations in over the course of the next half hour or so in the final half hour of the show, we can give away those care packages to do that.

So playing games to begin tonight. Again, Indiana and Wyoming, Texas A&M, Corpus Christi, and Texas, Southern. will also open the show for everybody. Again, the first games at 5.40 p.m. And then 8.10 as the secondary game, and those games will exist again tomorrow. So you can get into that. Playing games of the stories of March Madness, Cinderella.

And I asked Rico to come up with his favorite Cinderella stories for March Maddenous, things that people come, you know, what teams come to mind, what people, what stories. So Rico, March Maddenous, Cinderella, who comes to your mind? I can't really think of people or players, but I can't think of teams, and I believe it was 2011 VCU, first four to final four. First team to do that, it was fantastic. 2013 Florida Gulf Coast, Dunk City came alive in the tournament. the first Loyola Chicago team with Sister Gene before. Not the team that upset Illinois,

but the team, I think it was 2018 with Sister Gene that made it to the final four. They played in Dallas. They played in Dallas and me and my buddy Lossie were there for that. And we actually got to sit pretty close to her. Yeah, they made it to the final four and it was amazing. And their fans showed up. Man, that was amazing.

Like you could say like, UCLA first four to final four Syracuse first four to final four But I don't consider those cinderella Like yeah they were lower seeds And they made it But those are like traditional powers So I don't

I don't consider that as Cinderella story Um Oh uh University it was one game But University of UMBC Oh yeah Oh they beat the one seat They beat the one seat they beat the one seat

Is that Does Cinderella have to appear several times? I think two wins. Two wins makes you a Cinderella. One win makes you a great... One one makes you a good story. Davidson was a Cinderella with Steph Curry. That was such a great run.

Yes. That was such a great run. That may be... Technically, or was it 2011 Butler? Were we surprised by that? Were we surprised by the run? Apparently people were. They're considered.

to Cinderella. Here's, here's. They were, I think they were an eight seed, weren't they? So that's, you know,

it's a lower seed. There's some depth to that. Somebody just text me and says, yeah, you do realize. So that, and they were trying to get my information. They said,

what are the chances of filling out a perfect bracket? Very low. Like how low? Like, You are more likely... I'm just going to make this one up, but there's a whole bunch of stats. There's a whole bunch of things out there.

I'm just going to say, you're probably more likely to die from a baby choking you to death than filling out a perfect bracket. One in 9.2, quintillion. You're more likely to die from a rabbit kick. You're more... You're more likely to die from a kangaroo

while living in Kansas than to... fill out a perfect bracket. One in 9.2 quintillion. You're more likely to die from a bull shark in North Dakota. How many zeros is quintuil? So you got 100,000 million billion trillion, and then I don't know what comes after that.

I'm pretty high up there. I'd give it over under 15 zeros. There are 18 zeros in squintillium. That was a good. Over under 15 zeros. That was good. I'm pretty good. I am solid.

Yeah, 18 zeros in quintillion, and you need nine of them to get to where you're going to create a perfect pool. Unnamed text says Bucknell over Kansas 2005. People forget CJ McCullum's Lehigh squad beat Duke in Omaha. Yeah, you can't forget that. You can't forget that. Ellis in Illinois says George Mason for sure. So Florida Gulf Coast at 12.

The following year. Syracuse 2016. Yeah, I told you, but I don't count it. They went first four to final four. Right, don't count it. They were traditional power. We know. Davidson, right? That's the call there, Penn.

The Penn team back in the day was ridiculous because they went all the way to the tournament final. George Mason, of course, in 20 and 2006. So what a lot of people go to. LSU in 86, which I don't think it's that much. I thought they got on a run. We ended up choosing, Washington ended up choosing John Williams from that. He ate himself out of the league.

They called him John Hot Plate Williams. VCU 2011, of course, my alma mater, has to get the shout out, reach the Final Four in Houston, which was spectacularly. Shock a smart parlayed that into a Texas job and then parlayed that into a Marquette job. And he will not be at Marquette Long after the job he did this year. Danny and the Miracles.

Danny Manning and the miracles at Kansas City. They actually won the championship as a six seat. Is that the lowest seed to ever win? No, eight. Eight. It was 80-something somebody. Yeah. We looked it up.

But that is the only team to lose 11 games and still win the tournament. Nebraska could have been the first to lose 21. You get it. Loyal, Merrimount, Hank Gathers, yeah, Bo Kimball. Were you old enough to remember them? I know the name Hank Gathers. An amazing run. He died.

He collapsed on the court. Yeah, that, that, yeah. They had a 30 for 30 on him. March 4, March 4, 1990. Because he was the second pick. Yeah. And then. By Boston.

Correct? No, that was Lenny Byes. Okay, yeah, sorry. That was Lenny Byers from America. Oh, no, Hank Gather. No, yeah, okay, no. I watched the documentary on Hank Gatherers as well. Yeah.

They were talking to his coach and he, because he collapsed and he, like, got back up. And they were like, oh, he's okay. And then he collapsed again. Yeah, he collapsed on the floor. He was the only, he's the second player ever, ever to lead the nation in scoring and rebounding in one season. Now I, who's the, who's the, who's the, who's the, is the first. Who is the first?

Karim? I don't know. Right? I would think that that seems like the go-to there. Bill Russell? No, no, no. Will Chamberlain? Seems like he led everywhere, everything, every time. I'm going to find that out. Figure it out. Well, because in the first person to text that in. because I know, you know, you've got, now you've got, like, the smaller school guys leading in, like, rebounds and points these years. Like, like, the kid at Bryant is leading the nation

and scoring at, like, 2080 game. He's fun to watch. And then you've always got smaller school guys leading and rebounding. Like, Kenneth Farid led the nation in rebounding, like three seasons in a row. Wow. You find it? Are you going to hold off on it?

Wow. Okay. Wow. I think you should just say it. I want to know now. You keep saying, wow, I want to know. Oh, there are three players in Division I won. Men's Basketball who led the league,

had led the country in scoring and rebounding in the same year. Okay. Is it anybody that I would know since I was alive? One of them played for your favorite team. Okay. Patrick? Mm-mm. Mm-mm.

But who? Mm-hmm. So text line. Who would it be? Text line. Have had it. I will put together a Beatrice Bakery care package for that. I will do that.

Rebounding and points. In the same. The same year. It's got to be a big guy. In the same season. Fantastic. Oak? No.

Oak, yeah, no, Oak didn't. No. Wow. That is spectacular. Is Craig right? Craig's not right. No, Craig said. Would it Craig?

No, not the Big Diesel. It was not. Not the Big Aristotle. It was not Shaq-Foo. It was not Shaq-Fu. Not Shaquille. It was not Shaquil-Haw-Hikil-Hol-I. Shaquil-Hol-L-I-L-E.

This is spectacular. Yeah, I'm not going to get it. I have no. idea. Oh my goodness gracious. Wow. Wow. So there's a first person, a second person, and then, of course, we just mentioned the third. So there's two names that you could come up with that would, that would. Are they well known? They're known. Should I know this? You should know one because he played for the, he played for the, for the Knicks. That's the problem. I already said Oak. It was not a tree.

It was not Bill Russell. Played for the Knicks. Who? Played for the Knicks. Who would it be? This is big, Zerangular and rebounding. Oh, it is not, it's not Pett.

It's not Ewing. It's not Shaq. I said Will. It's not Will. Not Will. That's, wow. Something that Wilp didn't have. That Wilt did not do.

It was not, it just, it was fantastic. One. they're both they really are the same type player like they're the same type player um Sydney wicks is a great guess but no I don't know let's ask Nick do you know it was it Tim Duncan it was not Tim Duncan Nick do you know the answer to this here's another question uh the only players to lead the country in scoring and rebounding in the same season same season. It was not Wes Unsell. It was not Charles Barkley. Not not Russell, not Dunklin. He says one of them played for the Knicks. One of them played

for the Knicks. It is not Patrick Ewery. And they are farther back. Okay. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I just saw it. So Pekampi, you're off the list. You, you, you can come by and get you. Really? You can come by and get you. The second name? Yeah. He did. And then Mickey. And then Mickey nails it. You both can come by. and pick up some first cake from Beatrice. I don't know the first. I don't know that one. You don't know Xavier McDaniel? I do not. Played for the, played for the Wichita Shocker.

Played for the Shockers. Really? And then played for the Seattle C, Seattle Sonics. Super Sonics. Played for the Sonics. And then Kurt Thomas at TCU. Kurt Thomas, who played for the Knicks for eight or nine years.

Thomas led the country. I was not going to get that. Led the country in scoring and rebounding in the same year. I was not. not going to get that. I didn't even think of Kurt Thomas for that. You just go, wow, there's only been three in all of it. Right.

Right. Spectacular. Craig says no names. You can't be a no name when you're an all American. These are all Americans. They were both all Americans. And they both played extensive amount of time in the end of the league. You know, now I feel, let me look this up.

So he played. Do I know he's Xavier McDaniel played for 13 years. 13 years. That's not a no name. Play for the Sonics, the Suns also played for the Knicks, right? Boston Celtics and then the New Jersey Nets.

Right. Spectacular. Oh, that's fantastic. That is fantastic. Well done, guys. The X-Man. That's right. You got to know the X-Man.

He said the nickname And now I feel like I do know him Right like that he had He was a menacing looking dude He looks it Xavier looked like he He just like they found him out back He was the bouncer

Yeah this is this is before Majorgy This is before my time So when I was born He was playing for the Celtics He played for the Celtics for two more years After I was born Then he went overseas and played for

Iraqless Thessaloniki For a year and then he came back and played for the New Jersey Nets for two years. He ended his NBA career in 1998. 14 years. I was five. 14. I'm sorry that I don't know.

Okay. Here's another good one, right? Here's another good one. This is amazing. Ready for this? His numbers are tied by which I'll stay. Hold on. I will also put in a Beatrice making care package for the person that can answer this.

The only player to lead the NCAA in both assist and points in a season. Assist and points in a season go. Ooh. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Oh, baby. Hit me on the text line 424, 4, 6, 4, 6, 8, 5. I just need one hit anytime you ask these questions. Was I alive?

Yes. Oh. You were alive. Yes, you were. Okay, okay. Google faster. I don't want to Google this. I don't know.

No, but folks are going to. Yeah. I don't know. I was alive. I don't have your name. Six, five, three, I cannot, I cannot. Oh, I remember that. I cannot acknowledge you because I don't have your name. Why do people text it and not give their name? You have to give your name. I do remember that being a big deal. Yeah. Yeah. We do have a winner. It was. I was going to say. Yeah, Gary, thank you. How simple is that? It's Tray Young. Tray Young was the first to ever do it. I was going to say John Wall. He did not lead the country. I don't think he. led the country in scoring. He did not lead the country. I think he had some people on his

team. All right. Rico, change his name on there so we could get that. Gary. And here's the thing. If you guys Google it, stop. Like, we want to give out stuff, but that's okay. Gary. John of Des Moines mentions a person that is pretty unique to me. Chris Jackson when he was with LSU. Of course, he went to the Nuggets as Mahmoud Abdurahou. And was, was it? a bit of a cult icon as far as a guy who scored in huge volumes, even without, you know, the pub. But then once he got to the league and, of course, I think it's fair to say he was blackballed from the league.

Oh, 100. No, he 100% was. He was black ball from the league. That's not a controversial statement. That's not an untruth. That's just true. Like, we owe him an apology. The dude could ball.

Like we still owe him an apology. And they were just like, and, and ESPN, I loved it back in the day because when, when ESPN was first firing up at, at that level, that they would just have mock mood.

They would just yell mock boot in the day. Those are some great players. Low key, LSU has had some remarkable players. Oh, yeah. Of course, Marevich, I had to,

somebody said to, was the greatest player at El Shue. And I'm like, no, he wasn't even Chris Jackson good. And he certainly wasn't Pete Marevich good. And people get mad. I'm like, no, look, look what Marevich did. And look at what Shack did. Pete Marevich could play in today's NBA.

Pete Marevich. Pete Marevich could play in any version of the NBA. There aren't a lot of players that you could say that. Well, but it changes, right? It changes. Shack, we had not seen a Shack before but we also had not seen a Peter Maravidge before Shack could play

in any, he might struggle in today's I mean he'd still get the down low Magic can play in the day, oh easily Jordan could play to Magic would be Ben Simmons but not scared he would be Magic would be He'd be LeBron James He'd be LeBron. He'd be Janus

Without the physical restriction Janus is Orlando Shack but now he has a shot I don't think we've had a Janus I mean if you want to do So when I make comparisons When I make comparisons

I don't say like they're You know going to end up like this person Or they're you know exactly like It's just like the closest thing That you have seen And that you can kind of like Think about that's when I make the comparisons Because Shaq when he was Orlando

Was crazy athletic and running the floor as a center and people were just like, I don't know what it's... We didn't know how to... Yeah, and people were like, I don't know what is happening here, but this is fun to watch. A seven-foot... A seven-foot wing... Yeah.

Who ran like a wing, but was too powerful for anybody in the paint. Yeah. And that's Janus. Kevin Durand is an alien. But I'm also not sure that Janus in the 70s or early 80s would be Janus. Well, he put when he...

Now Janus with the weight on. Earlier Janus, no. But now Janus with the weight on. would be fine. Right. He would probably, they would probably have him at center. Dave Brasca makes a point.

Like Pete Mervidge with the three point line. They said that he would have averaged another. I mean, he was shooting from out there. Nine to ten additional points a game. DeWitt's kid has a question. Which DP would you rather get? Eldron Baylor or Jerry West?

I'm a Baylor guy. I'm a Baylor guy because Baylor was another one. When you talk about guys that changed the way the game was. being played now west is icon he's the logo but if you had to put them side by side bailer was the guy west represented a part of america that needed jerry west baler represented a part of america that needed elgin baler uh six seven ran the flor he was lebron before lebron like when people talk about i hear that a lot right there we hadn't seen a guy who did it, but he handled the ball well,

bodyed in space, was tough on the block, could take you on the wing, could take you off the dribble. And Wes could do all those things. But I think at that point, small forwards, more was required of you than West playing point slash two guard. But we keep saying this.

Yeah. Willie and Marr both said the same thing, which is odd. I've never heard that one before. So both of them said that Janus reminds them of Sean Kemp. I've never heard that comparison. But no, like Sean Kemp was KG before KG. Minnesota KG. Young Minnesota KG.

But KG had a better jumper than Sean Kemp. but I'm not sure there was a better finisher around the rim than Sean Kemp. No. Like, Rayman, when people talk about the greatest dunkers ever live, you just talk about Sean Kemp, but you don't talk about him because he was 6'9 or 611,

depending on how you measured him or what day you called him. Shoes off, shoes on. Right, or whatever it was. But Sean Kemp ran the floor. Like you talk about 6'1 11 dudes who ran the floor. Like a gazelle. Like a gazelle. And then would jump out of the stadium.

Like he murdered people under the, under the rim. Like it was, it was there. But there are guys, you could have that discussion with guys like Connie Hawkins, right? The Hawk at 6-7,

uh, air flight, strong on the floor, ran the floor with like, with the likes of Dr. Jay and, and the like, um,

but was a grown man in the, on the box. Like Doc wasn't going to get into a, a battle down on the box. Connie Hawkins would give you the business throwing elbows. We'll spend the next segment to talk about underrated guys. But when you talk about underrated players,

players that we don't talk about enough, Tom Chambers. Tom Chambers will play for Seattle. I remember Tom was a monster. And look, he won the same dunk contest. Like, dude rolled out. It was like, hey, I know I'm not supposed to be here, but I'm going to mess around a win thing.

And Tom Chambers was like, okay, I think he might have been the first white dude to win the slam dunk contest. Him and Thunder Dan Marley, maybe, right? Thunder Dan. Right. So text on and let me know. Was Tom Chambers the first white guy to win the slam dunk contest? He might have been the first white dude to be in it. Has there been?

But we'll check it on the break and we'll find out more. We'll talk about this more here on one-on-one. Download our app by searching 90s. 3.7 the ticket in your app store. You're listening to one-on-one with DP on 937 the ticket and the ticketfm.com.
