Main Themes & Discussion Points

1. Bam Adebayo’s 83-Point Game – Instant NBA History

[02:47–09:03, 23:12–29:44]

• Adebayo’s "Unlikely" Explosion: Dan Patrick opens with astonishment, contextualizing Bam’s 83 points as only the second-best in NBA history behind Wilt Chamberlain’s 100. Dan admits he never would have predicted Bam breaking out for such a score, given Bam’s career-high was previously 43.
• Game Context: The Miami Heat beat the Washington Wizards, with Bam scoring 41 points by halftime and finishing with 83.
  • Field Goals: 20 of 43 (7 of 22 from three)
  • Free Throws: 36 of 43 – a new NBA record for attempts, surpassing Dwight Howard’s previous mark.
• How Did It Happen?
  • The Wizards, a bad team, sent Bam to the line repeatedly, especially late as the Heat and coach Spoelstra let Bam chase history.
  • Wizards tried to foul other players, but the outcome was inevitable.
  • Discussion on the ethics ("bush league," stat padding) of keeping Bam in the blowout specifically to chase the record.
  • “You’re playing against the Wizards, which that helps…” (Dan Patrick, 05:41)
• Historical Comparison: Immediate comparisons to Wilt Chamberlain (no TV footage for Wilt’s 100) and Kobe Bryant (81 points in a 2006 regular-season game).
  • "If you said, hey, who's the guy who's going to break the record? ...I would have thought Devin Booker, maybe you would have Luca... but Bam?" (Dan Patrick, 02:47)
• Kobe’s Legacy Debated: Emotional attachment to the Kobe game discussed—some callers and hosts note that Bam "dethroning" Kobe feels sacrilegious.

Notable Quotes

• Dan Patrick on the spectacle:
  “It’s 83 points, no matter what. Still, 83 in an NBA game.” (25:26)
• Marvin on the surprise factor:
  “No, no, Bam’s not supposed to do it... he’s a guy that catches lobs and plays defense. It’s not supposed to be you.” (28:41)

Call-in Reaction

• Multiple listeners express disgust or disappointment that Bam, not a superstar scorer, is now second all-time, especially via so many free throws:
  • Caller Aiden: "For Bam Adebayo to be the one to dethrone Kobe… with 43 free throws. This is disgusting. I have never been more ashamed of modern NBA basketball than seeing that stat line last night." (34:47)
  • Host (Todd): "So we're dethroning somebody from second place." (35:41)
• Defensiveness and humor about whether anyone really “saw” Wilt’s 100 or Kobe’s 81, and whether records without context matter.

Debate Over Free Throws

• Is 43 free throws “unethical” or “just modern NBA”?
  • Paulie: “A lot of teams play the Wizards and they don't put up 83 against them.” (24:41)
  • Dan: “It’s the free throws... because Kobe, I think made 20 free throws when he put up 81.” (28:09)

NBA Quiz Segment (29:52)

• Fun stat: Of all 60-point NBA scorers, Bam Adebayo now holds the lowest career average (16.1 ppg), a testament to the shock.

2. Maxx Crosby Trade Fallout – NFL Dominoes

[09:54–16:43, 22:07–16:10]

• Trade Drama:

  • Maxx Crosby’s trade from the Raiders to the Ravens is reversed due to a failed physical (concerns of long-term knee durability after a torn meniscus).
  • The reversal “devastating” to the Raiders’ plan (lost out on two first-round draft picks; planned their offseason differently given Crosby's expected departure).
  • The Ravens immediately pivot, signing Trey Hendrickson to a 4-year, $112 million deal.
    • “That one’s devastating for the Raiders because it felt like, okay, we can move on.” (Dan Patrick, 12:45)
  • Paulie wonders if Baltimore preferred Hendrickson—possibly “buyer’s remorse” on Crosby.

• Impact on NFL Free Agency:

  • Chain reaction as free agency priorities shift—Ravens keep picks, Raiders' leverage drops.
  • Speculation: Could Dallas now make a play for Crosby on a lowball offer? Would future trades become contingent on medicals-first?
  • Dan & Danettes debate the NFL’s definition of “long-term” concern about a player’s health and the realities of NFL contract lengths (“Are they worried about him in his 50s?”).

Notable Quotes

• Dan on NFL teams' hypocrisy:
  "Are they worried about him in his 50s?" (16:23)
• Paulie on trade timeline:
  "Did the Raiders, the Ravens — when did they know they were going to move on from Crosby and when did they kick the tires on Hendrickson?" (14:17)

---

3. World Baseball Classic: Team USA’s Peril

[22:07–34:07]

• Team USA Loses to Italy:

  • Team USA blows their game, now reliant on outcomes of tonight’s Italy–Mexico game.
    • Various scenarios detailed for how USA can advance.
  • Light banter about how “big” the story is in Italy, whether it rates on local radio, and if Italian pride matters more for baseball or soccer.

• Global Perspective & National Pride:

  • Debate over “true Italians” on the Italy team (many are Italian-American MLB players) and what this means for the tournament’s impact.

Notable Quotes

• Paulie: "If Team USA did well in cricket, we would be like, look at this. This is like a kicker story at the end of the hour." (33:24)

---

Memorable Moments & Humor

• The “Kobe Dethrone” Meltdown: Fans and callers passionately defend Kobe’s legacy and question Bam’s scoring “ethics” (even as Bam only moved into second place).
• Mock Italian Radio: The crew imagines Italian sports radio ignoring baseball entirely—a wink at American sports priorities.
• NBA Quiz: Paulie stumps Dan with Bam’s career average being the lowest ever for a 60+ point scorer.
• Dan’s Running Jokes: About the “Hall of Very Good,” multiple sarcastic asides regarding age, and pop culture riffs.

• Paulie (on Kobe's legacy):
  “You could still look at Kobe's game and say the Lakers needed a win... and in a real natural basketball game... the cat scored 81 when they were trying to stop him for four quarters.” [50:27]
• Dan Patrick (philosophical):
  “It’s 83 points, no matter what... 10 years from now, it’s still 83. 20 years from now, it’s still 83.” [38:45]

Why pay full price when you can customize and save? Switch to Liberty Mutual. They'll customize your home and auto insurance so you only pay for what you need. Well, it was eight days after the anniversary of Wilt Chamberlain's 100 points in a game that nobody saw on TV. There were eyewitnesses and radio witnesses. And last night with bam Adebayo scoring 83, I couldn't find the game. And I think late in the game Peacock did bring that game in so you could see the final seconds. But Bam out of bio scores 83. And yeah, you know, it's. I'm not surprised somebody has scored that many points because we brought it up numerous times. Somebody's going to get there with the volume of threes. Somebody's going to get there and we've had a couple of players getting over 70. If you said, hey, who's the guy who's going to break the record? I would have said no. I would say Kobe's record. Wilts is not going to be broken probably in our lifetime and another lifetime. I would have thought Devin Booker, maybe you would have Luca. I mean, you got to have high volume guys. You got to have guys who can shoot threes. But Bam, an underrated superstar, his previous high was 43 and I think he had 41 at halftime. But towards the end they let him shoot. He had a lot of threes. He took 22 threes and he's not a good shooter, but went to the free throw line and ended up with 83. Here's the call when he surpassed Kobe Bryant's 81 points last night. Quickly in the Bam. He's got space, head down, spins, puts it up and Bam's going to the line. Line again. Bam on a bio is a complete monster.

[Todd]

And really get the ball into Bam's ham the right way.

[Dan Patrick]

Only Wilt Chamberlain has more points in an NBA game in association history than Bam Adebayo, who has 82. That's Jason Jackson with the call. He'll join us next hour about the honor of calling the second highest individual scoring performance in league history. So 83. He went 20 of 43 from the floor. He shot 22 threes. He made seven. But going to the free throw line, that's an all time record. 36 of 43. Wilt had 28 made free throws. I think he was 28 of 32. But you know, you're looking at that many free throws and you throw in 20 some field goals, you're going to put up a big number there. Dwight Howard had the previous free throw Attempts record at 39. And that was back in 2012 and also 2013. But congrats. Pretty incredible night. You're playing against the Wizards, which that helps. But towards the end it felt like maybe the strategy was let's just let him go for the record. And that's exactly what his coach did. The Wizards were trying to foul other people to keep him away from getting the record against them. But bam, out of bio. Now I don't know if because we didn't get to see it now we saw highlights. But you know, Wilts was. Did he really score 100? That was in Hershey, Pennsylvania back in what, 1962. And no video. There's pictures. But we're like, and I've said this before numerous times, we really don't welcome Wilt's numbers like Babe Ruth. We do will averaged 50 points in a season. We're like, yeah, but who was he playing against? Well, we can say that about Babe Ruth too, in some regards, but we don't. We're like, yeah, the Babe. But with Wilt, it's like these numbers don't really matter. They're like, well, they didn't, you know, those aren't real. He didn't play against real guys. Check his numbers when he played against Bill Russell. I think he had 55 rebounds in one game against him.

[Marvin]

Yes, Marv, but you can say that about Bam. He's playing against the Wizards, right? Don't really count.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, yeah. And then you go back to Kobe's 81. And Kobe did that on a game in January and. But he said, you know, we were down big at halftime and so we had to stay in the game. You know, that's the thing. Wilt, I think, won by what, 169 to 137 or something like there. There was a blowout there. And even last night with Bam out of bio, you know, you're winning by 25 points. But Kobe said, hey, I had to stay in there. In fact, let's go back to. Do we have that? Marvin, do we have Kobe yet? What? Marvin? We got him. Okay, now you did both of these, but if I said you could only have one on your resume, you could get the 8081 or you could get the 60 in your last game. You have to pick between those two. You only get one.

[Marvin]

Oh, man,

[Caller]

I'd probably go with the 81 because we were like one game out of making the playoffs that year, so we needed, literally needed every single game to get into the postseason. So if we had dropped that one, I think we would have been in serious jeopardy of missing the playoffs that year. So I'll go with the 81.

[Dan Patrick]

Reggie Miller and I got into a heated discussion. Like he kept saying, you're going to end your career with 60. And then he put exclamation points on his text message. And I said, but 81 exclamations point, that's. Come on, 81. And Reg goes, no, 60 on your last game.

[Caller]

I'm just, I'm enjoying the fact that you guys are actually having that debate. That's pretty cool.

[Dan Patrick]

So that's Kobe after his 81 point performance. Reg and I still argue about that because I'm like, man, I gotta know now that Bam has surpassed Kobe, then I might go, well, all right, I'll take 60 in my final regular season game, final game that I ever played. All right, we'll come up with a poll question. Play of the day, stat of the day. All of that forthcoming, the Max Crosby trade reversed. And I don't think I can overstate how devastating I think this is for the Raiders. They were going to get two first round draft picks, one this year, one next year. Plus their philosophy and free agency probably was, you know, banking on the fact they were getting rid of Max Crosby and his contract going to the Raven. So they were had a different philosophy here, who they were going after, how much money they were going to spend. But The Raven said, hey, didn't pass our physical and we're sending him back. This has happened before now. It's happened in other sports. Remember Carlos Correa with the the Mets, Mark Williams, the Hornets, he was going to go to the Lakers. But in the Ravens have done this before. Now, these weren't big names. Ryan Grant in 2018 failed a physical. 2020, Michael Brockers had an agreement with the Ravens, but they were concerned about his left ankle and that deal fell through as well. I'm just surprised that the Ravens said, oh, you know, upon further examination, you know, maybe there's long term damage in that knee because it was a torn meniscus. And then they said, because it's going to take time for that to heal. That was what was surprising. Now I'm sure the Raiders doctors said, yo, he's good to go. And then you trade him. And then the Ravens doctors said, no, we don't like, looks like there's more damage in there. So now the Ravens could be in the market for Trey Hendrickson. Now what do they do? And then the Raiders. Are you going to get dollar for dollar for Max Crosby now if he's damaged goods, I mean, this is devastating, I think, for the Raiders because Max Crosby is making over $30 million for this year and next year. Can you trade him? But what are you going to get in return? And I think that's the interesting part of this, that if he's viewed as damaged goods, then you're not going to get two first round draft picks. But Max Crosby headed back to the Raiders. Yes. Paulie,

[Paulie]

right on cue. Dan, from Adam Schefter. Moments ago, the Ravens and Trey Hendrickson reached an agreement on a four year, $112 million contract. Just came through minutes ago from Adam Schefter. That's a pivot.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I thought this was gonna happen. Diana Rossini, who's covering the NFL for the Athletics, she'll join us a little later on. Yeah, that one's, that one's devastating for the Raiders because it felt like, okay, we can move on. Max can go play for a team that can compete for a Super Bowl. We're not ready. We got a couple more years here. We can get our center, we got Mendoza, get a couple more offensive linemen, get a couple of wide receivers. We can be respectable this year. But now you have the Mac, Max Crosby. Now I have to, you know, probably walk back my words of the Raiders tanking. If it's true that, you know, this knee injury was far more serious than what we're leading on. But Max Crosby did have surgery. I think he knew he had to have surgery, but it's a torn meniscus. You can play through that. He can, but that's where you had this falling out between him and the Raiders front office because he wanted to play those last two games and that it felt like, we're going to sit you down because the last thing we want to do is win another game. Now, looking at that knee and I don't know how many knee surgeries he's had, but if they're saying that, you know, could be long term damage in there, then it doesn't sound right. But, you know, the Ravens have every right to be able to do it. It's like, yeah, we're bringing him in. And that change, look at free agency. It felt like a lot of dominoes fell after Max Crosby went to the Ravens.

[Paulie]

Yeah, Paul, I'd really love to know the timeline of this. Did the Raider, the Ravens, when did they know they were going to move on from Crosby and when did they kick the tires on Hendrickson? Did they think maybe a buyer's remorse situation where, oh, we can get Hendrickson for the same price and not give up draft picks? I'm curious how the timeline played out in the past 24 hours with all that.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, I understand. What the Ravens did. Makes more sense knowing the Ravens with their draft picks. They don't give up draft picks. Certainly one in the top 15. And you're going to get Trey Hendrickson. Okay. He's not Max Crosby and you're going to bring him in. You're going to have to pay him and it's a longer, you know, contract there, but you get to keep your draft picks. Yes.

[Todd]

Man, that is a tough situation for Max Crosby, though, now. I mean, his value has plummeted.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Because I would lowball the Raiders now. Now, I give you a first and maybe I give you a third or something if that. Now, I don't know if the Cowboys see, I don't know how this works with Rashawn Gary, who came over from Green Bay to Dallas. Now it's not official yet. Could they then say, hey, you know what, we're going to rescind that trade. Like, it's not official yet. You're just agreeing to it to a trade. I don't think there's anything in writing, but can you until after like 4 o' clock today? Could they then go, hey, let's go after Max Crosby? I mean, if I'm Dallas, I would do that if I thought Max Crosby was going to be healthy enough. But the fact that now the Ravens have put that out there that, you know, he could have long term durability concerns. That's the language that I was given. Long term durability concerns. Seaton poll question today. What are we going to go with first hour?

[Todd]

I appreciate their concern on long term, you know, their concerns about how he's going to hold up over the long term because that's one thing that NFL teams do is they really hold on to their players for a long time.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Are they worried about him in his 50s?

[Todd]

Yeah, we're just not sure because we're planning on cutting him after the third year, but now it looks more like a year two cut to save money.

[Dan Patrick]

So that's a little too long term for us. Yeah, we're concerned about how he's going to be walking in his 50s.

[Todd]

Long term, you know, durability here.

[Dan Patrick]

What is long term? Is it three years? Two years?

[Todd]

Two and a half?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. All right, so what's first hour poll question?

[Todd]

I think you're gonna find that out after the break.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, okay. Alrighty. Paulie. Famous for the after the break poll question.

[Todd]

I got the, the dolphin symbol from him, which is the, it looks like a dolphin jumping out of the water. Over after the break.

[Dan Patrick]

After the break. We'll jump the shark after the break. We'll get to your phone calls. Coming up, Jason Jackson, he is the voice of the Miami Heat and he'll join us top of next hour. Diana Rossini, more on the Max Crosby situation. Our good buddy Ross Tucker has some thoughts on the Max Crosby situation as well. And Team usa. Team USA is going to be an anxious spectator watching Italy and Mexico coming up tonight and their hopes of moving on in the wbc. We'll hinge on that. We'll talk about that coming up.

[Paulie]

Paul, how big of a story do you think this is this morning in Italy?

[Dan Patrick]

Huge. Really? Yeah.

[Paulie]

I'm curious how important baseball or maybe just nationalism is.

[Dan Patrick]

I don't know if it's. I mean, soccer obviously is their national pastime, but I think this is a big deal because all of the nations, all of the countries are involved and the fact that Italy can show some pride here. Now, there's been a lot of baseball players who are from Italian descent and you got guys who were baseball players in the major leagues who were playing. But I think it's a big deal now. It doesn't compare to soccer, but I do think it's a Big deal, because Italy beat Team USA. 8, 7, 7, 3, DP show email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle DP show feels like people are bothered by Pam Adebayo getting 83. Like, you know, maybe somebody who's scoring 50 or 60 or even 70. Okay. Like, his previous high was 43. And I think the free throw element really bothers people. And. And I understand that that's an incredible amount of free throws. Yeah. Seaton.

[Todd]

You still have to make them. You know, I mean that. Like, I don't really understand why there is a rush to sort of diminish it. Because, like. Like, we already have three different ways, say, in the first 25 minutes of the show. Like, well, it's against the Wizards.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Todd]

A lot of teams play the Wizards, and they don't put up 83 against them, you know, or somehow now the idea of getting 83 one point at a time is less is easier than doing it three points at a time. I don't.

[Dan Patrick]

I don't understand that the 40, 43 free throw attempts concerns me against the Wizards. Marvin brought that up. That doesn't concern me. And, I mean, they. They let him shoot as much as he wanted. They got to a point where Eric Spoelstra said, go after it. It's still, you got to score that. I mean, it's 83 points no matter what. And it's one of those where you look at it and you go, let me look at that again. Because I thought it said 63. And all of a sudden, you know, I realized, man, that's 83 no matter how you look at it. Still, 83 in an NBA game. Yeah.

[Paulie]

Paulie, I saw social media last. Last night, this morning, some people were bothered by Spoelstra keeping it in. Him in after the game was out of hand. But I think bigger picture, it's about passing Kobe. Kobe's a beloved figure. He's no longer with us. He's one of the greats and should be second place to Wilt. And it feels like, what's this guy doing there? We still love Kobe and want Kobe to have it.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, it's still 83, man.

[Marvin]

Yes, Todd, is it bush league or some unwritten rule that once he got to, like, 60, 70 points that they can't triple team this guy? You're already an embarrassing, irrelevant team. Why aren't you just throwing everybody at him to make sure you don't get embarrassed further in the history books by giving up 80 plus points to a guy? Just have four guys on what? That's. You can't do that. You can't bunt to break up a no hitter. You can't guard somebody with three guys. They don't get 83 points.

[Dan Patrick]

I don't know. You know, if we could get the Wizards somebody on or their coach, we could ask. Now, what was the philosophy there? I just gave you a job. There you go.

[Marvin]

I'm on the case. Let's get it from the source.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yeah. Why not just ask the coach? Yes.

[Marvin]

Seems like a reasonable request.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Paulie]

Let's have the Wizards coach on. I know his name at the top of my head.

[Dan Patrick]

Does anybody know the Washington Wizards head coach? And don't say Scotty Brooks.

[Marvin]

Eddie Jordan.

[Dan Patrick]

Eddie Jordan. Yes.

[Paulie]

Paulie, this gentleman's name is Brian Keefe. Brian Keefe.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Paulie]

That's the entire thing I had.

[Dan Patrick]

That's it. Oh, okay.

[Paulie]

Seems like a nice person.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. Yes.

[Marvin]

Todd, if Spolster is going to keep him in to see if he can get 80, 90 points or whatever, then on the other side, they can have four guys cover him. You know, to just counteract that. If you're going to try to embarrass us and let him get some record when the game's already out of reach, we're going to make sure he doesn't get it by having all five of our guys just do a circle around him.

[Dan Patrick]

I agree. I agree. I wouldn't have let him embarrass me. I would have made sure they were trying to foul other people, I believe. Yes. Marvin.

[Marvin]

Bam was already embarrassing him by putting up 31 points in the first quarter. So now you're going to start showing some heart and some effort. Stop it.

[Dan Patrick]

And I don't know if you pick this moment in the season where you go, hey, we're going to stop being embarrassed. We're going to play hard. Yes.

[Todd]

But there is almost like this tone of, like, bam. Well, like, you're not allowed to pass Kobe's 81. You're not allowed to. So, like, I think even there's even the call where they're like, well, out of respect, they're going to pull Bam here before he passes Kobe.

[Dan Patrick]

Why? Yeah, why? I think the Kobe element plays a large role in this, that, you know, we look at Kobe as a dominating scorer and he put up 81 and he's no longer with us. And how dare bam get 83 points. I just didn't think, you know, you have to have a creator. You have to have somebody who can shoot three. Now, he shot threes. He didn't make them. He was 7 for 22. It's the free throws. Because Kobe, I think made 20 free throws when he put up 81. Yes, Mark.

[Marvin]

It's definitely the combination of Kobe and Bam. No, no, Bam's not supposed to do it. Luca Victor, kd, one of the iconic young players, Anthony Edwards, whoever. But it's not supposed to be Bam Adebaya who's in the hall of Very good. It's not supposed to be you. Who came into the league is not a score. He's a guy that catches lobs and plays defense. It's not supposed to be you.

[Paulie]

Yes, Paul, Bam is absolutely Hall a very gooder. Three all star games. Very good player for a long time. By the way, he's only 28 years old. I thought he was 33 or 34. Feels like he's been around a long time.

[Dan Patrick]

Easily.

[Todd]

Could have told me he was 38 and I would have believed you. He's 28 years old.

[Paulie]

He joined the league in 2017. Was he eight?

[Dan Patrick]

So he's got a couple of NBA titles. He's an all defensive player, I think four times. You just don't think that it'd be like Rudy Gobert putting up, you know, 70 points. But does Bam have. Was he on title teams there? Marvin?

[Marvin]

He's been to the NBA finals twice.

[Dan Patrick]

Finals. There you go. Okay. NBA finals. All right. Paul, you have a quiz. An NBA quiz.

[Paulie]

I have a quick NBA quiz, Dan.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Paulie]

Needless to say, I didn't have this one ready yesterday. 40 players in NBA history have scored 60 plus points in an NBA regular season game. Can you guess the highest career scoring average and lowest career scoring average of those players? For example, Kobe's 13th all time. He averaged 25 a game for his career because he's 13th all time. In guys who have scored 60. There's two players who have career averages over 30 who scored 60 in a game.

[Dan Patrick]

So Mike did correct and Wilt did correct.

[Paulie]

Both average 30. Ones for their career. The lowest career scoring average of anyone to score 60 in a game.

[Dan Patrick]

Marvin, you want to weigh in on that one? Modern day Paulie?

[Paulie]

Yeah, Joel. Folks from back in the 50s, 60s averaged 16.4. Tom Chambers averaged 18.1. This player is current and active.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. And it was jumping Joel, folks, by the way, apologies. Tom Chambers should be in the hall of Fame, by the way. Okay.

[Paulie]

Klay Thompson only averaged 18.7.

[Todd]

Overrated.

[Paulie]

This player averaged 16.1 for his career and is still playing.

[Dan Patrick]

And he got 60.

[Paulie]

He got 60 plus. It's Bam. Adebayo, 16.1 question.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Very tricky question.

[Todd]

I was gonna throw a Tracy McGrady.

[Paulie]

Good guess.

[Todd]

We don't pay enough attention to the baseline in that State of the Day song.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, it's really good. Yeah. Is Klay Thompson still dating? Who is who? What's the rapper?

[Marvin]

Meg the Stallion.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, Megan Thee. Stallion.

[Marvin]

The Stallion. Yes. He's been smiling. He's like, look, I'm not shooting really well, but look how happy I am.

[Dan Patrick]

But, man, they give great gifts to each other. Be like. They give cars and expensive watches and stuff.

[Marvin]

They do nice birthday parties.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. Yeah. Clay, you're not playing. Why? Who cares? Who's. Who cares? Chris in Syracuse. Good morning, Chris. What's on your mind?

[Caller]

Hey, thanks, Dan. Hey, I got a possible poll question. A couple comments on Max Crosby. Maybe when team start, trey talks have a rule. Team doctors clear players first, then GMs get to hammering out the deal. And I too, I think the Cowboys get a deal done for Max CROSBY maybe after 4 o' clock today. Trade that lineman Gary and some draft picks and get it done. And possible poll question, biggest surprise last night, Max Crosby silver and back. Thank you, Fritzi. Bam. 83. USA baseball sleeps with the fishes.

[Dan Patrick]

Hmm. Well, Italian little mafia there with Team USA beating, being beaten by swimming with the fishes. Yes, Paul.

[Paulie]

I was actually just listening to Radio Sportiva in Italy and they're talking soccer.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, they are now.

[Paulie]

It could be, you know, segment one was all baseball. Segment two.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yes. Maybe they started the show.

[Paulie]

Depending on the rundown. I don't want to impeach their.

[Todd]

This is like in Italy. This is like, if Team USA did well in cricket, we would be like, look at this.

[Dan Patrick]

You see our cricket team, they just beat.

[Julian Edelman]

That's really great.

[Todd]

That's probably about the same. It's like a kicker story at the end of the hour.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, you think at the end of the news cast.

[Todd]

Yeah, yeah. For the lighter side of the news. You guys catch what's happening in the world. There's a thing called the World Baseball Classic.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yes.

[Marvin]

Marvin, is this a different scenario? Because these aren't Italians. Like, they're Italian Americans.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Marvin]

Right. So it's not the same thing as. Right. So it's a bunch of guys that are born here, raised here, they play in America. Oh, but they're Italian. American Italians. Look at Italian Americans. They're Americans. So I'm not sure if it's accurate.

[Todd]

Right.

[Marvin]

It's not the same.

[Todd]

Might be in Sicily right now, but

[Dan Patrick]

yeah, they're going Crazy in Naples right now.

[Paulie]

Yes, Paul, I did look at the Italy baseball roster. There's six guys who are born in Italy and some live there now who are on the team. And a couple pitched yesterday.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, Jimmy Scan Jeal and Tommy Calamar.

[Todd]

I knew they were going to be on the team. Jimmy, Tommy Calamar.

[Dan Patrick]

I knew it.

[Paulie]

I'm listening to the morning show Gino and the meatball and they are not touching baseball. Meatball. You got to cover the story.

[Dan Patrick]

Aiden in Utah. Hi Aiden, what's on your mind?

[Caller]

Yeah, Dan, good morning. How are you? Listen, I just want to. You guys hit it right on the head. What a disgusting performance by Bam Adebayo. And for Bam Adebayo to be the one to dethrone Kobe. Are we serious? With 43 free throws. This is disgusting. This is disgraceful. I have never been more ashamed of modern NBA basketball than seeing that stat line last night.

[Dan Patrick]

Wait, are you being serious?

[Caller]

Dan, if Luka doncic put up 83 or 43 three throws, that would be amazing. I'd be ecstatic. But Bam out of bio is going to be the one to dethrone Kobe.

[Dan Patrick]

I guess he's serious. Yes.

[Todd]

Eaton, Just so we're clear, we're talking about dethroning Kobe from second place, correct?

[Paulie]

There was not a record set, right?

[Todd]

No, no records were set yesterday. It just one guy went from second to third because a new guy moved into second.

[Dan Patrick]

Right.

[Todd]

So we're dethroning somebody from second place.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. And Aiden is not happy about it. Jeffrey in Louisiana. Hi Jeffrey.

[Caller]

Hey Dan. First time, long time. 66250. Hey, just kind of my comments on band. I was, I was pretty kind of conflicted initially with the kind of emotional attachment to Kobe growing up and all that. And then, you know, trying to see past it like. Yeah, it's a heck of an achievement. But you know, ultimately the end. That game kind of turned into a farce where to Todd's point, they were trying to triple, triple team him every single possession. All the Miami guys were missing free throws and immediately fouling the other team just to get more possessions, strictly to get Bam more shots. So it didn't really.

[Dan Patrick]

It.

[Caller]

It wasn't really basketball at the end, which was kind of a shame. But I mean all credit to Bam. He had to, he had to put the ball through the hoop.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I mean, once again I didn't see the game. I actually went to NBA.com and I was following along, you know, with just when they would update this, the, the numbers, the stats, the score and you know, Paulie was like, you know, Adebayo's got 60. And I'm like, damn. I think we should change his name to Damn. I had a bio instead of Bam. Okay. All right. What are you thinking, Todd?

[Marvin]

I got distracted by a guest related situation, so I'm gonna not pretend and say 11 or something like that.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. It's okay. That's all right. I thought you were leaning in to say something.

[Todd]

Yeah, he's saying something. Something to a guest. You don't want that lean in from Todd.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, oh.

[Todd]

Tersely worded email right there. Being fired off as we speak, I can tell you.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, okay.

[Marvin]

Per my last email.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, yeah.

[Todd]

I hope this finds you well.

[Dan Patrick]

Wow. Damn.

[Marvin]

Todd.

[Dan Patrick]

Andrew in Washington. Hi, Andrew. Hey, good morning, Dan.

[Caller]

Daniel. I think the first mistake that Max Crosby made was say Raider Nation for life in his opening presser. I hope Trey Henderson doesn't say who day before he starts his Baltimore Ravens presser. But anyways, with the, with the BAM ADEBAYO Just 83 points. I gotta say it's a, it's a 47 point game with record free throws of 36. 36 free throws were double the amount Kobe needed. Kobe actually shot over 50% in his 81 point game. Bam out of Bayou is the only player to score 70 points or more and shoot less than 50% in a game. That kind of tell you that second half after he had 43 in the first half was already like just feeding the ball to see what we can do with this game. The game is meaningless, unlike the Raptors and the Lakers. The reason why we say dethrone Kobe is because like you said at the beginning, did anybody really see Wilt's game and sort of like Babe Ruth called shot. There's photos of. But there's no real evidence. And so we see video these days. So video sells us that Kobe's the record and Bam has the most free throws in a 47 point game.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, well, we didn't really see Kobe's man. I mean that was against Toronto and it wasn't a nationally televised game. But I'm sure this will be under the microscope with the, the last three minutes there of what Miami was doing and what Washington was doing, but it's still 83 now. I think it's easy to dismiss because we don't look at him as a score and he's. And he's not. So how did he do it? He got all these free throws, but he still. It's 83 ten years from now. It's still 83. 20 years from now, it's still 83. And you know, we'll soften this when it comes to. Yeah, but he had all those free throws. SGA shoots more free throws than anybody in the NBA. He's the MVP and going to be MVP again this year. Yes.

[Todd]

I didn't realize that Kobe's 81 had was zero free throws.

[Dan Patrick]

Get 20 free throws.

[Todd]

I didn't realize. Right. And what like the. I'm gonna guess that the. His last. How many points?

[Paulie]

Yes, Paul, It's a big semantics topic. If you want to say who the greatest scorers are, you have to go in order. And BAM is second. But if you say greatest performances in NBA history, none of those games might be in it. Or at least the first two might not be in it. Someone could say a Jordan game or an Isaiah Thomas game or whatever it may be. It's. That'd be more judgy.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, it's. I mean, we're, we're pretty cruel here with the Bam out of bio performance. How dare he. It's like, how dare you do that.

[Todd]

I have a little respect.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Like what? Yes, Marvin.

[Marvin]

Last night was one is a legendary night on social media. Last night, especially Twitter, I mean, just. People just had all these think pieces on, you know, Kobe's night and bam's night, what it means for the modern NBA. And back in my day, it was just. I was up for another hour just reading, man, this is a long thief piece. Frank Isola.

[Dan Patrick]

But, but you have, you know, when Kobe was playing, it was a close game, Wilt. It wasn't a close game, and last night wasn't a close game. So therefore you're getting garbage buckets. Kobe was playing in the context of. This is a competitive basketball game, Wilt. I don't even think they. When Wilt got his 100th point, I think they ended the game. I think there were maybe less than 60 seconds left in that game. I think people came onto the floor, if memory serves me correct. But, but I, I don't know if, you know, they got on the feet, you know, got on the court, and therefore it wasn't an official basketball.

[Paulie]

Let's throw that out there.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, let me take a break here. We got to settle on a poll question. We'll check in with the Miami Heat. Coming up, more on what's going on with Max Crosby and the Raiders and the Ravens. And the Ravens with Trey Hendrickson.

[Caller]

First time, long time. 6, 3, 2, 20 ish. I just wanted to call and thank you and the show for introducing me to Stephen Wilson Jr. I got the pleasure to see him in concert last night in Cleveland. He was phenomenal and again, just wanted to call and say thank you.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, thank you, Calvin. Yeah, I've heard from a lot of people who heard Stephen Wilson Jr. III on our show last year and have followed along with his tour getting a lot of recognition and rightfully so. Wonderful songwriter. He's one of those. And you know, Chris Stapleton's another one. They would write songs, they didn't think that they were good enough to sing those songs, perform those songs. And I still love the quote from Darius Rucker. Chris Stapleton has written over a thousand songs and he wrote a song for Darius Rucker and Darius realized how talented Chris Stapleton was. And, and Chris says, hey, I got this song for you. And Darius goes, whatever you do, don't sing it. Because Darius knew that he wouldn't be able to sing it as well as Chris Stapleton and Stephen Wilson. Good for you. He's out there hitting the road all over the world. All over the world. All righty. Did you find out if the wilt 100 point game in Hershey, Pennsylvania, actually the clock ran out?

[Marvin]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Or did people run on the floor before the clock ran out?

[Paulie]

A little bit of both. Some people ran on the floor when Wilt got one. Then they resumed the game and they played the final 46 seconds. But the reason people think it was not completed because Wilt Chamberlain said he didn't remember anything after the hundred points and think. And he thought they stopped the game when Wilt was interviewed. Here's the kicker. They tried to find out if it did get played. Wcau, the radio broadcast. The engineer recorded over the game the next day because they were needed to use the tape for something else. So the game was. There's nothing more classic radio than this, by the way. The game was recorded over and eventually they found the fourth quarter was rolled on by another person. And then a college student who missed the game at some small college in the Northeast at UMass, recorded the 3M rebroadcast the game on the radio station and gave it to the NBA years later. Otherwise there'd be no audio proof that the game ever happened.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, that's one of those. It's Hershey, Pennsylvania. It wasn't in Philadelphia. Hershey, Pennsylvania. Austin in North Dakota. Good morning, Austin. What's on your mind?

[Caller]

What's up, Dan? How's it going, man? I'm commenting on the Bam Adebayo game. Of course people aren't mad that it's just the fact that he scored a three, right? I mean, it is what it is. It's modern day NBA. It's how they went about it. Late missing free throws intentionally, intentionally falling to get more possessions while you're up 30 late. I mean, that's disgusting. And let me just say this too. Could you imagine Adrian Peterson's rushing record? Single game on the line and a team is up by three possessions and they're going to onside kick it. Oh, let's just let him score over the top so we can get this record. I mean, completely fraudulent. Needs to be an asterisk behind it. I can't. I can't get over that. Again, not the fact you scored 83. It is what is moderate NBA. But how is that not blatant stat padding and just overall unethical?

[Dan Patrick]

All right, thank you, Austin. Yes, Hayden.

[Todd]

It is a little like to Austin's point. It is a little stray handish

[Dan Patrick]

with Far taking a dive.

[Todd]

Yeah, I mean, I don't know if he really did take a dive. You could certainly say that. It's. It's one play compared to, you know, a series of plays. I do get that point.

[Dan Patrick]

I do. When you're fouling, when you're letting the other team score so Bam can get more shot. Yes. I mean, I understand all of that. He still scored 83. Like, I still have to come back to that. He scored 83. I don't know what happened in the Wilt game. I mean, all I know is he got 100. Yes.

[Paulie]

Paulie, if you're a Kobe fan, this only bothers you if you let it bother you. You could still look at Kobe's game and say the Lakers needed a win. And in a real natural basketball game that was competitive for fourth quarters, the cat scored 81 when they were trying to stop him for four quarters.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. It was legitimate because it was a game. It was a true game. A contest between both of these teams. Last night, even with Wilt, you know, there were big leads, and then it became, how many points can you score? How can we help facilitate that? Jason Jackson was on the call for the Miami Heat. We'll have him defend Bam Adebayo and Eric Spoelstro and their philosophy towards getting this Incredible night. Hour two on the way, right after this.
