Like Mark Lamont Hill on the 80s. 84 was a wild year. It was a wild year. I don't think there's a more important year for black people.

We're listening to Fox Sports Radio. All right. As of right now, we've been very lucky in our jobs. We got a great women's NCAA tournament, better than expected for us.

We got a great men's tournament, especially Sweet 16 on. We're going to have the master starting up, UFC 300 this weekend, and the NBA Western Conference playoffs are going to be insane. because last night you're watching two teams battling, starting Tuesday the playing game, which feels like the playoffs to me. I mean, you lose, you're out, you win, you can advance. That feels like a playoff structure.

So I was talking to you about this earlier. You have Dallas and Boston in the finals. I have Denver and Boston in the finals. But let's just make this prediction. Who will be the team in each respective conference that gives the Celtics and the Maverick. in your opinion, the hardest push. Well, first of all, I'm going to start calling you Chalk Cowherd going with Denver and Boston

off your Yukon prediction. I will say, no, this is dumb, but I'll say the Cleveland Cavaliers get it together. They are on a historic tumble. Everybody's saying it's over. I think the Cavs get it together and make a run in the east and challenge Boston a little bit. I was going to say Lakers before last. like two games ago. But give me, I guess, I guess Denver Dallas in the Western Conference Finals.

All right. Not out on much of a limb there, but what about you? If AD and LeBron play in six out of seven games. Well, wait, wait, wait. Are they playing in the play-in game? They've got to win two play-in. They'll win two playing games. Okay.

That's why AD's resting. Resting? He wasn't even on the bench last night. Well, it was a, they called it a headache. so he was resting. So was it really a concussion? They just don't want to call it that or he has to go in a protocol and then could miss more games? No, he just, he had, he was nausea and resting.

So I think he's, nausea resting, bright lights of a stadium. Hmm, doubt it's a concussion, yeah. I think they'll give Denver a real push. I don't think they can beat them, but I think they can give them a push. Meaning they win one game this year or two? Well, here's what's funny. Carl Anthony. So I think Philadelphia gives Boston a pushback.

They win a game or two. A game or two. Boston just too deep. And they've been playing together, you know, Tatum Brown in this spot so many times. And then I think, I don't know in the West. I think OKC will be one of the more fun teams to watch. I don't think they get the conference finals, but I love what they're doing there. I think Dallas is fun, wins a series, that's it.

I think the Lakers are built to beat everybody but Denver. Phoenix is a huge disappointment. I do not trust the Clippers at all. Minnesota is interesting. Carl Anthony Towns coming back. Minnesota is one of those. I've got to see it to believe it, but I could see myself,

Aunt has unbelievable nights. They've got some veterans for maturity, great size, you know, a scoring guard. I love Chris Finch. I could see Minnesota getting to the conference finals, but I haven't seen that a lot in my life. So I've got to see it to believe it.

Was the last one with KG, right? Like, you know, 20 years ago or something? And they've had players. Well, listen, Anthony Edwards is a different species right now. I mean, that guy had 51-1, last night. And he's the kind of guy. Fourth quarter, close game. Just feed him. Like people, you can't stop Anthony Edwards right now. And I just don't feel the same way about Chet or Shea SGA for OKC. So that's why I think Minnesota is better than OKC. Best coach in college basketball.

We'll talk Zach Eadie. We'll talk NBA. We'll talk about college basketball. The NIL transfer portal. What does it all mean for the great Dan Hurley next?

Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the I-Hard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying.

Yep, that's me. Cliver Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.

Joe and I are both lifelong Star Wars fan, so we're celebrating May the 4th with a brand new week of fun thought-provoking Star Wars-related episodes.

Johnny Mansell was on Undisputed this morning. Met him before and after the show. Good stuff. We're going to play some of that coming up in Herdline. Well, I had said, Connecticut's one of the deepest teams. I think they're starting five, four guys average double figures in almost a fifth.

You know, last year they bounced around a little in the regular season, then vanquished everybody in the tournament. This year I had said, because I watch a lot of NFL and college football and then college basketball I move into in February and March. And I had said, I watched Yukon three times. And my prediction, J. Mack pushed back. He said, I'm Mr. Chalk. I said, Yukon's the best team I saw easily. the only team I thought that could kind of compete with them, maybe Carolina, not on talent, but on age. But college basketball, I thought, had a very good year, men's and women's.

I thought the games, NBA players, excellent coaching, and none better right now than Dan Hurley is joining us for the second time. Lucky for us. You know, my favorite part, this is funny, because you deal with sometimes you've got to be a salesman, sometimes you've got to be a coach. But you're always a husband. and I love your quote because my wife runs my life and you're like, guys, my wife's going to have a say in this. So like when in your life, when you're coaching, the sport asks a lot of you, have you ever come home after a game and your wife's like, settle down? You're your, because you're an intense guy. Or does your wife stay out of that stuff?

But I'm going to bring it up because you brought up your wife and your relationship. And being a coach's wife, is it hard sometimes, do you think, for Dan Hurley's lovely wife? Yeah. Colin, it's hard for her on so many levels, right? My intensity, my energy, my passion that overflows. You know, she's got a, your family reads, they read the social media. You know, they hear the comments, you know, from people that think at times I act like a monster or an animal.

She picks her spots at times. She has said to me, you know, I think you've gone too far, you know, this time, either with an official or maybe with a fan or just overall, just what everything I'm bringing to the table. In fact, after year seven as a high school coach, I got offered the job at Maris College, which would have been, you know, an opportunity earlier to get into the business, which would have been, you know, four or five times when I was making at the time as a high school coach, but she wouldn't let me take the job.

So I stayed two years longer at St. Benedict's and then eventually got the job at Wagner. So, you know, yeah, I mean, she does everything for me. I'm a one-trick pony man. This is all I'm really good. But, you know, Dan, one of the things you come from a legendary family is we, I was talking with somebody about this yesterday. Nick Wright, my buddy, we were talking about like, to be great at certain things, you've got to be obsessed. I mean, if you want to be a great singer, you can't put it in a nine to five. If you want to be a great coach, it's not nine to five. I mean, it's five to nine at minimum. And there is a fine line. Your coaching, I love. But here's the most important thing. your players like it. And what's the communication like with your players? When you're on them and you love them, do you let them come back at you?

What's that relationship like with your players? Yeah. You know, Colin, you're right. I mean, to be elite or to be championship level, you've got to pour every part of yourself, you know, into your position. You have to absolutely obsess. over every detail of your program. And if it's not functioning at a championship level,

you're melting down over from the marketing, the branding to the execution of its own offensive play. And in my relationship with my players, it's pretty simple. You know, behind closed doors and training in practice, I push these guys to extreme levels. You know, I stress them out absolutely to the max to develop their skills and to have the habits embedded so deeply so that they don't have to raise their level when they show up on game night.

We could take exactly what we're doing in training because it's so intense and we don't have to raise our level when the lights come on. And, you know, any type of negative emotion that I have on game night, it's directed at pretty much solely officials. You know, on game night, I become like a corner man for a boxer, where you're trying to create as much confidence for individuals in a group on game night. That's where you see me. I become much more like a cheerleader, high fives, chest bumps, you know, freeze to the dome until Carmelo retired. Now I'm just kind of going up in the air with it.

So, yeah, man, your position. I obsess over everyone's performance. and we spend so much time with our players that there's a mutual connection that you could sense on game night with the way we show up. So Donovan Klingan's going to be a good NBA or he's got real athletic skills. He's a big. And yet, Zach Edy ends with 37, get your bigs into foul trouble. You acknowledge our show. If Zach Edy can't play in the league, there's something wrong with a league.

And in your game, you basically, your game plan was, all right, he's going to score. That's what Mark Few said. Like, I don't know what to do. But you said, and Jay Wright pointed this out very early, you know, like, hey, he basically said, we're going to cover their guards. They're not beating us on threes. Have you ever had a game plan when you looked at film on a player and just said, yeah, we're not going to stop that.

Even with an NBA guy on him, we're not going to stop that. I mean, that was respectful to Zach Edy to me. Yeah. And for Kamani Young, Luke Murray, they prepare a team. incredibly well. And usually, I'd say going into like 95% of games, Colin, you're trying to take away the other team's best player. Right.

Or the other team, yeah, the other team's biggest weapon. But just in studying Purdue season, it's just that you're, what you were going to open up yourself to was, you know, he's going to score one-on-one a lot, the size, the skill, the strength, the experience. He was going to get his anyway. But then once you start doubling and bringing help and digging the ball out, now you open things up for the others to now put them over the top with the production.

So, you know, the mindset was, you know, as long as we can keep clinging out of foul trouble, you know, just blanket the three-point line and basically make them one-dimensional. Was there an epiphany or a moment? Because you had some transfers that were very valuable, Newton Spencer. And, you know, I always say in college basketball, I refuse to watch. it until January because the teams aren't right. I remember years ago watching Kansas in like November, they were terrible. And then I watch them eight weeks later and I'm like, oh, they could win the title. So like, I can't even figure you guys. Then all of a sudden you get to February and you're like,

okay, was there a moment this year, a half where you were talking to an assistant, you wouldn't tell the players. You're telling your wife, an assistant. You're driving home and you're like, yeah, I'm not sure if anybody's going to beat us. Was there a moment for you this year? Probably not until late. I would say really losing the game to Creighton and then responding the way we did to finish the Biggie's regular season and then winning the Biggie's tournament.

I think at that point, you realize kind of what you had. I think as a coach, you know, Colin, you're always looking for vulnerabilities, blind spots, you know, weaknesses. You never feel like you're good enough. You know, you always feel insecure about your team. And you're always kind of picking away at it and trying to find a ways to make yourself less vulnerable. But the way we closed it out there and the Biggie's tournament, then you felt this enormous sense of pressure after MSG and the Biggie's tournament because you knew what you had.

You knew anything less than winning a national championship with the group would feel like disappointment when you stood in front of the group. group in the day of the game, I just couldn't, I couldn't get out of my mind how horrible it would have felt like if like the black and yellow confetti would have rained on our team's head as we were walking off the court if we were to lost that game because, you know, you knew we just, we had a special team. Yeah. Dan Hurley, Yukon basketball coach. Listen, you're going to get your phone. I don't even know who represents you. I said this yesterday. You feel like Yukon, but you don't want schools to take advantage of that, right? You've got a big market if you wanted to leave.

Would you ever have to, what happens if somebody comes up and just brings up a Brinks truck and then you have to go to your boss and say, okay, they gave me a zillion dollars. I like what I make. Where are you on that? Because, Dan, for the next five years, you're going to have 50 offers. How do you kind of reconcile with the fact that you love where you're at, but you may have somebody double what you're worth? Where are you on that? What do you do with that?

Yeah, it's flattering. I've come a long way since being a high school coach 15 years ago. And having to kind of work my way up the ladder in the business as a coach, the way coaches did it back a long time ago. You know, it's certainly flattering. But I've got a long career of turning down. jobs or more money to stay in places that, you know, that I was happy and that fit me and that, you know, provide me the resources to at that level achieve the things you want to achieve.

And I mean, right now at UCon, you know, my relationship with A. Benedict and what the place means to us, you know, the opportunity to go for for a three Pete right now is, It's the only thing that is obviously on anyone's mind here. So I just can't see that being a thing. Hey, man, appreciate you on the show. You do it the right way. I said this the other day. It's just serious people, as you said, go to a serious place. I love your style.

I love your passion. I love your intensity. And way to go. Give yourself a weekend off. Take, pit the phone off. You don't have to recruit. Just go have a nice weekend down at the old Saybroker. something and chill out. Is that okay?

No, man. I'm on like, this is like Star Trek, man. They want be in the portal. I guess they would just pour you. I'm in the portal now like everybody else. And one of our biggest motivators to not lose, they brought me back in. So, yeah, May, man.

All right. Good luck, Dan. Thanks, man. Later, Kyle. Appreciate you, brother. All right. Great college basketball coach. It really is. I mean, I was talking with Nick Wright yesterday about this on my podcast, and I said, there are professions that the great ones are a little, a little off is to be a great artist, to be a college coach, they have no time off now. I mean, there are multiple recruiting cycles.

Recruiting was always a lot of work, and now in college football, you have two recruiting periods, and then the NIL. So you're recruiting your own players to stay. I mean, it's, it's, you've got to be, I mean, you have to marry the right person. You've got to be, people have to be understanding. So I always give coaches at the college level a little pass on the intensity stuff. Izzo can get in the guy's face. Nick Saban can get in the guy's face.

At the pro level, it's different. You have more of a life. You don't have to recruit. The players are more empowered and important. But the star of college sports is the coach. And it is, we ask them to work 80 hours a week. Don't be surprised if sometimes they're a little, uptight, that they're a little intense.

They have to be the psychologist. They have to be the coach. They're the lead recruiter. They're the HR person. They're the PR person. I've said this. If I ran the NCAA, like college football, there would be one recruiting period. Nobody would be allowed to work in like June until July 15th.

The sport gets six weeks off. You can't be in the office. It is illegal to make a recruiting call. You cannot be in the office because I think what happens, is you create stability in the coaching circle, the good coaches stay. You start, you start grinding all these coaches. They're going to go to pro leagues. They're going to retire because they're making more money.

So I do think the NCAA, if you have, I mean, I can remember when I first came to Fox, I was doing a bunch of stuff and a bunch of shows. The company came to me and said, we want you off this show. You can't be on three shows. It's too much. You have to have a life. Like at some point, the NCAA needs the kind of leadership that goes, okay, June 5th, whatever the time is, June 15th,

you know, whatever it is, to July 23rd. It's a violation to be in the office. And it's a violation to make any recruiting call or any coaching staff call. And you'd have to have exceptions by the NCAA, like if a coach retired or quit. Otherwise, you're going to burn all these guys out. J-Mack with the news. No, no, no, no, turn on the news. This is the herd line news.

So earlier this morning, Johnny Mansell made an appearance on Undisputed. He did. Talking about a lot of topics including Caleb Williams. Mansell also reflected on his time in the NFL, spoke about how his first NFL start made him question whether he was worthy of being an NFL QB. I remember just going through the whole process of having an unbelievable amount of nerves. You know, at that point in time, you know, when you're on an NFL level and you're on a, you know, starting quarterback of a team, you can't really show weakness. And I went from a person in college that was never shied away from the moment, never been. back down from getting an opportunity to walk into the biggest, baddest, best stage ever.

And probably for the first time, maybe ever in my entire football career, we don't even put three-point, we don't even get a chance to take a field goal. You know, we don't go down and score at least one touchdown in that game. So, you know, the personal side of things where you start to question your ability and really, is this what I'm meant to do? There's so many layers to Johnny Mansell's career. I mean, I talked to him pre and post undisputed today. It's a lot. That's why I really push on this

and I've gotten pushed back on this. One of the things I really look at is self-awareness, maturity, your family. There were concerns early with Johnny Mansell. He came from big time money. And there was like concerns is, is he ready for the grind?

You're not going to be a star. So I think Johnny's a bit of a cautionary tale on life's not fair, right, for athletes. So you and I can make a bunch of mistakes. Nobody watches us in our 20s and early 30s. We're at a small market. We're on a blog. And then all of a sudden you get a bigger job and you've done 15 years to grow up maturation process. In pro athletes, you've got to be ready to go as a franchise quarterback at

21 years old. And you are now going to be the face of a franchise. You don't get a chance to grow up. And so that's why it may be unfair, but it's the reality of the position. And so that's why during the combine. I've always said, everything is something. Nothing's everything. What are mom and dad like? What's your history like? Are you mature? Do you come from money? Are you driven? Are you responsible? I mean, Justin Herbert's a 4-2 college major and was a tutor in biology. I made one call and the people at Oregon were like, nobody like that kid. He is ready to run a franchise. So I think with Johnny, it's just like he acknowledges he didn't want it ready for it. All right, let's move to the NBA, news here. Trey Young has been out since February tearing a ligament in his pinky, but according to

Wode's, Trey Young may return tonight. Now, this is big news for the playoffs because we know Trey Young's history. He got the Hawks to the conference finals. He is deadly in the play-in. This is a guy who can carry Atlanta places, Colin. If he returns, currently Atlanta's the 10-seed in the east, they would face your Chicago Bulls. I think that's obviously a Hawks win in the first play in game. And then adding fuel to it, there are multiple reports, including Mark Stein, who you previously work with, that either Trey Young or DeJanta Murray is getting traded out of Atlanta this offseason. I think the Lakers need what Trey Young provides. Shot making, playmaking. They are too LeBron relying on that. So wait, whoa, okay. Who are you giving up? I would give up

everybody, but LeBron and AD. Everybody. You're moving off Austin Rees. Absolutely. For Trey Young. Absolutely. Not even a question. He's a better creator. He's a better athlete. So your starting back court is DeAngelo Russell, who's a passive defender. No, no, I'm moving off that. My back court is essentially LeBron and Trey Young. This team does not have enough shot creators. Also Reeves.

He's a four. Trey Young is a 1A. You, you know, I thought your theory was the small guard. You can't have him at one. Time out. You can't build the. Curry you can. That's rare. Jalen Brunson, can you? I'm starting to believe Jailen can be your one. You have said repeatedly. Well, the history shows you that outside of a Steph Curry, if your best

player's a small guard, Isaiah Thomas did it, but that team had Chuck Daly and was great. Steph Curry's done it. Jalen Brunson's making me start believe the maturity, the intensity, the scoring is better than I ever thought it would be. I mean, he's a, he's a big time score. Trey Young to the Lakers. I would start over. I mean, give them some expiring contracts. Give them some size in Atlanta. We've been over this.

Donovan Mitchell, if the cat's crater, and they are really struggling right now. I would take Trey Young over Donovan Mitchell. I am in the minority on that. I think Trey is, I like, and I think Donovan's fine. I would take Trey Young over Donovan Mitchell. I am in the minority on that. But I think Trey Young, not a good defender,

AD protects the tin Sometimes he can be squirley He won't with LeBron James LeBron, Tre Young and AD Denver, meet your match I think they're really good I think that'd be a... I like Tray Young a lot

I don't... You don't sound like it. I do. I like Tray Young. You're like Bueger with LeBron. I like him a lot. No, no, there's no buts. I like Tray Young. The Donovan Mitchell one is fascinating.

Let's see what happens with the... There's so many... You know that the place. Playoffs dictate the offseason, right? If Tray Young gets hot and carries them into the series against Boston, maybe they win a game against Boston, I don't know. Trey Young's got a lot of value. Donovan Mitchell and the Cavs Crater, we all think he's out of there.

You know what, I'm going to get a hold of LeBron's people and ask them, Donovan Mitchell or Trey. That's a great question. A lot of it's fit. A lot of it's fit. I think Trey Young is very close with like Draymond Green. Dremon's very close with LeBron. You know I'm out on Draymond.

I know he's your boy. Do you watch that first half last time? Hang it out. Oh, gosh. He's three-point specialist. I call him Radar Green. Anyway. Wow.

Beautiful shooters. So I think Tray Young is liked by the LeBron group and the Draymond group. I think Drayman doesn't have a group necessarily, but I think Trey is in that circle of guys they like. Okay. Final story is the Masters tees off to from Augusta and Tiger Woods is going to be there, teeing up for the 26th time in Augusta. His first major appearance since last year's event, Tiger believes he can still take home another

green jacket. If everything comes together, I think I can get one more. I still think that I can. I haven't got to that point where I don't think I can't. I hurt every day. Yes. I ache. No, I ache every day.

As far as my physicality on certain shots, every shot that's not on the T-box is a challenge. Isn't that crazy? What, that he's 48? Well, I mean, it just... Are you still golfing after that accident? Is that it hurts every shot. What sport in the world would that be good?

If you, every swing in baseball hurt, you should retire. But it's golf. Yeah, golf's hard. You think golf's easy? I mean, it's not. That's a lot of torque on your body. Hold on. Let's re-frame that. It's a difficult sport to play, but it's not like labor intensive, is it?

Do you think golf, like... Well, I think golf is a sport of intensity and repetition. That's why all golfers at 45, their backs are bad, their wrists are bad, their shoulders are... It's just repetition. So I don't think it's as physically daunting as hockey, but I think it has its own level of intensity. Every sport does.

But like NFL, different animal. NBA, different animals. Yeah, nobody's... tackling Phil Mickelson. Okay, how about this one? Baseball or golf, which is more physically taxing? And I think about it for a moment because... Well, it depends on your position.

If I'm shortstop, or I'm catcher with all that gear on a Saturday day game. Fine, Saturday's different. Catchers different. Let me ask you this, though. You ever played golf, four rounds of intense golf, four hours around with amateurs the first day in the heat of the summer? Me? No, of course not. It's, that is, these pro golfers, man, they look their age.

Just so you know, he ain't carrying his back. Okay, he's not carrying his back for 18. I just, I don't know how physically taxing it is. Obviously, it's taxing. But it's like. I'm not saying it's a tour to France. That's not what I'm saying. Okay.

But I think all this stuff is, the equipment's doing some of the work. This isn't NASCAR, even NASCAR, you sit in a car, you're wearing that suit, the stress of literally, you could die. I would say NASCAR is more physically taxing than. I think NASCAR is. Yeah. I just, yeah. I got to play more golf, I guess.

I'm not, it's a rare sport I'm not great at. I think I think four rounds of golf at a major is taxing as heck. I can think of 297 things I do rather than play four rounds of golf in four days. Like, come on. You know what's not taxing? Frisbee golf. You play Frisbee golf? Well, in between my hacky sack matches, yeah.

Stop. What are we going to play ping pong? I got a lie. Big Pug so. I'm getting a table, by the way. I talk the wife into it. I'm getting another dog. Oh, real?

What kind? Well, it's not information for the public. The audience. When I said walking a dog in the rain is terrible, I had so many people listen to this show. You've got to get this dog umbrella. You've got to get this dog raincoat. Very few things in life.

Bring me more joy than being around my dogs. My dog's amazing. I love buddy. Jay Mack with the news. Well, that's the news. And thanks for stopping by. The herd. My news.

Yosi, if I don't see Yossi for a while, and I see her, she cries. I mean, like, literally, she'll cry. My wife's like, I can't go in the house. I can't listen to my dogs cry. It's too sad for me. It's the way my family is. My family doesn't cry when they see me. Or when I leave.

Dogs, yeah, family no. When your business reaches a certain scale, challenges begin to surface. You deserve a tailored solution, and that is NetSuite.

Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.

So Draymond Green had Clay Thompson, a big night last night for the Warriors on his podcast recently, the Draymond Green Show.

And it was interesting. There was kind of a poignant moment where Drayman is asking Clay, who's a free agent here pretty soon. He was asking him about his pending free agency. I was actually struggling with that a lot in the beginning of this year because of the unknown, you know. I mean, I might have let contract situations or playing time or just using, making up a lot of excuses rather than just appreciating what is in front of me. And saying that when it comes to free agency in July, I just got to keep that. in mind like, yes, I want to re-sign up the doves, but I also prioritize my mental health and

lay out what is important to me at this point in my career. So he has had a great April and a really good last three months and what Clay is doing, usage rate, minutes, points, field goal percentage. So, you know, he battled with it knowing that the Splash Brothers could end. And now he's sort of gotten through that little therapy maybe and all of a sudden last three months. He was so valuable last night. And I said this earlier, is that watching that game, it's as if, look at that pass by Curry, it is as if the Warriors coaching staff is sending a message upstairs.

Guys, we know Orlando's going to offer a fortune. We can't pay that, but he has real value on this team. You didn't take anything from last night. I think you're just, listen, you're my guy, obviously. I like you. I think you're overreacting to a nice stretch run from Claytonson. Three months. Okay, great.

Wonderful. Why is he all of a sudden playing all these minutes and getting all this usage? That's a great question. I don't have an answer to that. I just, let's be real. Okay? Last couple years, he's trending down in the playoffs. It's been a little... He's expensive. And keeping that core together to finish 10th in the West or 9th and be in the play in. I just don't think it's worth it. Who are you moving? I'm moving off Clay. I'm moving off Dremont. I'm keeping Curry. But they're never going to do that. You can't move off Dremont. Of course not. Yeah. Very good player. You could finish intent in the West and deal with Dremont's antics and fights and

Suspension. What do you mean antics? He was basically suspended by the league for being such a clown. It's not being harsh. That's real talk. Like he's stomping out what's his stabonis. Some of those guys. He's punching out what's his face.

Some of those guys need. Oh, the European guys. Yeah, go pick on someone who's not European and soft. Go for it, Draymond. Come on. This team now is a great road team. They were abysmal last year. why do you think that is

that the disruptive player wasn't Dremont, it was Jordan. Oh, here we go with the Jordan pool bashing. And the enforcer had to make a stand for the entire team. Because Steph and Clay are not the kind of guys that want to dust up. So Dremon always been the bouncer of the franchise said

sometimes a banser, sometimes you've got to get a little physical as the bouncer of the team. Now Jordan was the bouncer on his team and the best player. It doesn't work like that mostly. So have you seen the Patrick's Swayze movie Roadhouse? No.

They call the bouncer the cooler. He settles things down. The Roadhouse remake, Jake Gyllenhaal, it's not bad. You should check it out on whatever it's on. I just can't ride with you after he punched out, sucker punched a teammate. I just can't do it. Well, no, I mean, it wasn't in the back.

I mean, they were talking trash and things happened. He's your teammate. You and I talk between segments all the time. If you came up to me one day, he just slugged me. I'm like, what's going on here? Depended on your, take that day. Some of your takes are a little hot. I may be disruptive. Yeah, I guess you're right. And I mean, he was talking trash. Some of the trash talk that he gave him. I mean, you heard it.

I forget who the rapper was. It was bad. It was really aggressive. And I'm not coming in hot like that to you. I mean, we're having fun. Some of your KD takes, though, got me all broiled up. I can't, I can't, I will say this, cannot believe. The number of the day, which is unbelievable. I didn't watch it. The Suns trailed at home last night, 35 to 4. That is a bad high school game in the 70s. How in God's name can a KD Booker team trail 35 to 4?

You're not ready to play. No Hardin, no Kauai either last night. And the other number that happened last night, the Boston Celtics became the first teaming league history to not have a single free throw. On the same night, the two most ridiculous stats I've ever heard. April basketball.

It's fantastic in the NBA. That's what it is. Who's the guy who scored 50 points the other night? Was Malachi? Yeah, it was the out of the blue guy. 50 points. That's a lot in the NBA. He's averaged like a four points a game.

We've had a weird. It's a different day. It's not really too much into it. That's my job to reach into it. Read too much into it. Another podcast from some SNL, late-night comedy guy, not quite.

On The Look Back at it podcast. For 1979, that was a big moment for me. 84 was big to me. I'm Sam J. And I'm Alex English. Each episode, we pick a year, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. With our friends, fellow comedians, and favorite authors. Like Mark Lamont Hill on the 80s.

84 was a wild year. It was a wild year. I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Listen to Look Back at it on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying.
