You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio Hour 2 on this Wednesday Dan and the Danettes Dan Patrick Show Come a while. Cooper De Jean, Eagles star rookie, had a pick six in the Super Bowl. He'll join us. Coming up, we'll talk some basketball as well as Kevin Durant joins the 30,000 point club. Nick Wright, Kansas City Chiefs fan Fox Sports 1 host of first Things First. He'll join us in an hour from now. Speaking of Kevin Durant going over 30,000 points, I think it's a slight when we just say he's one of the greatest scorers of all time. He's one of the greatest players of all time. Here is Kevin Durant after the game last night on the players that inspired him. I stole so much from Dirk and Hakeem that is criminal, you know. And yeah, it might have been a little bit more athletic on my one legged in Dirk but he is the.
Nick Wright
He'S the king, he's the God of that.
Vincent Goodwill
So I just always been inspired by the greats, always wanted to reach their level. It's an exciting time to be an NBA player is especially the time that I came up. It was so many game changing players that kind of defied the, the norms as players and those two were some of the guys that did that. So I always been inspired by those.
Nick Wright
Guys and to be in that company.
Vincent Goodwill
Man, is just surreal. That's pretty cool. Dirk was probably KD before KD that you couldn't stop him. He had great range. Now he didn't have the handle that KD and wasn't a better all around player or that kind of player. He was just a score. Dirk was going to score on you. The Akeem Elijah one if you want to study footwork, if you're a basketball player, whether you're a point guard, you're a big man. Akeem Olajuwon, Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America.

Baseball spring training camps are opening up. That's right, they usually do in February. Pitchers and catchers report. That used to be a really big deal. I remember when I was at SportsCenter, oh the first video you got, you know somebody where in, you know, Arizona or Florida. Pitchers and catchers and all it was was you'd see these guys just throwing to a catcher, and you'd hear that going into the mitt, you're like, yeah, little bp. Yeah. Yeah, I'm ready for that. March. We're ready. No, it's February. Pitchers and catchers report. Seaton poll question for hour two. Is going to be what I'm trying to find the right way to word this to make it most interesting, but is it. Is calling Kevin Durant a great scorer insulting? I wouldn't say insulting. As much as it's. It's. It's not a true compliment. And maybe we're. Maybe it's a slight. Maybe I'm. Maybe it's semantics here. It just doesn't feel like we're taking in the totality of his game. Yeah. Which is unfortunate because. But I think we've always focused on Kevin Durantis's score. I don't think you ever go, man, he's a pretty good passer or he can play some defense. Well, when we talk about him, it's like you can't really stop his shot. Right. I mean, the only way that you're going to stop it, as if he just misses. Yeah. Although he's had his shot blocked a couple of times, and. And I was surprised, but that kind of, you know, arm length, over seven feet. And I thought, has his shot ever been. His jumper ever been blocked? And I think there's a kid with the Portland Trailblazers who might have gotten him maybe last. Last year. There is a stat of guys who have blocked Durant's jumper, which I was like, wow, that many? And now might be five or six in NBA history, but still, that shot, like Joker. Has Joker's jumper ever gotten blocked? Unless it's from behind that you're gonna block it. Vincent Goodwill has all the answers. Yahoo Sports senior NBA writer and host of the Good Word podcast. Is it a slight to say Kevin Durant's one of the greatest scorers of all time?
Nick Wright
It's not a slight, Dan. It's just limiting.
Vincent Goodwill
You know what I mean?
Nick Wright
Like, when you say someone's a great scorer, you're saying that's the only thing that they're great at. Like, when I say Carmelo Anthony is a great score, that's like the first thing that you think of. And this, if you take a while before you go to maybe the other things of this game, and I'm not insulting Carmelo in any way, but you think of Carmelo as a first, as a great scorer first. And Foremost, you think of kd, or you should think of KD as one of the greatest all around players this league has ever seen. Unfortunately, in the era of LeBron James and Stephen Curry, you tend to limit him or discuss him in other ways a lot of times that have nothing to do with basketball.
Vincent Goodwill
Yeah, but I think with Steph Curry, he's the greatest shooter of all time. I don't think we talk about anything else with him. Now, granted, that's a great compliment, but if I said Steph Curry, one of the greatest scorers of all time, that would be accurate because he's not known for anything else other than being the greatest shooter in the history of the game.
Nick Wright
I agreed. You know what's funny is because we don't think about shooters being great players in that way. When you think maybe aside from Larry Bird, but when you thought of great shooters, you think of guys that have like a specialized skill, like a Dale Ellis or someone like that. That's just a three point shooter only, almost like a field goal kicker in a way in football. But Steph has sort of revolutionized it in a way that he is a great scorer and he is a great shooter, the greatest shooter we've ever seen. But there's so many other different parts and different facets to his game. I think with someone like kd, the conversation is so convoluted and a lot of times unfair when it comes to Kevin Durant that we're always looking for the slight. When someone calls him a great score, we're saying, wait a minute, what about the other parts of his game? You know, like for me, Dan, I thought Kevin Durant became the league's best player in 2014 when he became the best defensive player between himself and LeBron James. Except we never thought about Kevin Durant in that way. We short ourselves and we short him in a way that we discuss him. And now that he's on the back end of his career, now we're starting to hopefully acknowledge and see all the great parts of his game.
Vincent Goodwill
Okay, how about we look at this down the road when their careers are over with, who will be recognized as a better player? Steph Curry or Kevin Durant? I.
Nick Wright
That's an excellent, excellent question, man. I think Steph Curry won that championship in 2022, put him over the top of Kevin Durant. I think, unfortunately, this rings culture, I don't subscribe to rings culture in that sort of direct way, but I do think that Steph's ability to lead a franchise, to stay with a franchise to stick it out with a franchise compared to kd who's been a little bit more mercenary, that's going to be something that people look at as a demerit. I think as a basketball player, Kevin Durant, because of what he does defensively, he's a better all around player than that.
Vincent Goodwill
Let's look at the post trade deadline. Jimmy Butler's contribution impact at Golden State and Lucas with the Lakers. Which team do you think goes further due to these two additions?
Nick Wright
I think Jimmy Butler makes a bigger impact with the Golden State warriors, but that's because the Golden State warriors have such a long way to go relative to the Lakers. Like the Lakers were on a roll up until this trade and part of that has been the schedule lightening up and LeBron coming off of his sabbatical, if that's what we're going to call it. He's come back from that with a fresh set of legs and everything else. I think Luka is a little bit more duplication. He just does it at a higher level and he probably has the stamina to do it for longer stretches of time than LeBron does at this stage of his career. But I don't see the Lakers having enough actual functional size and defense on the back line to make a real impact in the playoffs. I know that they've won a lot of games and I think they're, you know, a game and a half in the lost column of being like third in the west or second in the west or whatever it is. But I still think that size gets it done when you're talking about playing a full seven game series. Now when I look at Golden State, they're used to playing small and you have someone in Draymond Green on the back line. Steph Curry has not played with a guy who can create his own shots at an elite level since he's played with Kevin Durant. And that was in 2019 was the last year those guys played together. I'm very curious to see how those two guys mesh. You know, Katie. Not Katie, Jimmy going to the bucket and being able to be passed first and Steph being able to roam around on the perimeter. Having someone create shots for him, that could be scary.
Vincent Goodwill
Dan Patrick Vincent Goodwill Yahoo Sports Senior NBA writer, host of the Good Word podcast. You know, a story that's kind of gone under the radar. You know, Utah's tanking, Washington's tanking. Are the Pelicans tanking? Are they just bad? They're incompetent.
Nick Wright
That's what they're not trying to be bad. Look, when you're in the luxury tax, you ain't in the luxury tax because you're trying to tank. This is not a stealth tank job on the Pelicans part. Like, yeah, they've traded Ben Brandon Ingram, but they were expecting Zion Williamson to be good this year. They acquired the Jonte Murray because they wanted to make a run. Like on December 1st of last season, not December 1st of this season. They were the best team in the Western Conference. And they were looking at it and saying, if we get healthy, if we stay healthy, we're going to be able to make some real noise because of the youth and the defense and some of the athleticism that we have. It just hasn't worked. And they're bad. And unfortunately for New Orleans, I feel like they're going to have to part ways with Zion Williamson after the season. And it's not to say that Zion can't turn it around. It's just that it feels like that relationship is going sour and those sides cannot go on. So I don't think this is by design. They were not intending to be bad. David Griffin thought he was going to put together a team that was going to compete in the Western Conference this year.
Vincent Goodwill
So the coach didn't talk after the last game. The fans booed the new team governor. The former owner told fans to shut the bleep up. Fans got tossed for signs saying fire Nico. And the team lost to Sacramento. Other than that, it seems like, as Tim Calashaw has tweeted out, everything's going well in Dallas.
Nick Wright
Everything's going swimmingly there. Look, then we can all adjudicate the Luka Donches trade, right? And I'm not one of those people that calls it the worst trade of all time. Like when they say they traded for A.D. i think there are people are trying to say that they traded for Antonio Davis in 1994 or something like that. Like, Anthony Davis is one of the top 10 players in basketball. But I think that it's. It's been a stroke of bad luck for a franchise that is so connected to Luke. They're more connected to Luka Doncic than they were to the actual Dallas Mavericks. And that's something that you generally, Dan, incorporate with losers. Like, I'm gonna tell you a quick story. I was a fan of the Detroit lions, and then July 27, 1999 happened, and I was no longer a fan of the Detroit Lions. And I have not gone back since.
Vincent Goodwill
Why?
Nick Wright
Because they were losers. And then when they made Barry Sanders quit. I quit them. Dallas has won a championship and they went to the finals. Those fans should not be bailing, even though I understand their anger and frustration. But this is a bit shocking, the reaction from everyone. Death threats, That's a bit wild to me.
Vincent Goodwill
If you gave Nico a do over a mulligan right now, today.
Nick Wright
I think given the fact that we don't know the extent of Anthony Davis's injury, this core muscle injury that he has, you might give him a mulligan based off of that. Not necessarily based off of the reaction. Usually you can ride up the reaction and I think he was confident enough to say we've got some bigs here that can really make some things happen in the Western Conference if we get them all healthy and upright. I don't think people as strong minded as Nico Harrison are going to be swayed that quickly because of the reaction. He could be swayed because of Anthony Davis health, not because everybody's so heartbroken and betray over Luka Doncic.
Vincent Goodwill
Always great to talk to you, Vincent. Thanks for joining us.
Nick Wright
Next time I'll be on video, Dan.
Vincent Goodwill

Nick Wright
I'm the love doctor no more. Just. That's just gonna say that I'm the love doctor no more.
Vincent Goodwill

Dan Patrick
Okay, I called to collect on my.
Vincent Goodwill
Football bet, if that's okay. Okay, so before the season, you may recall, I bet you that the Chargers were going to finish as the five seed in the playoffs. And they did. And despite their flameout, the deal was that if they finished as the five.
Dan Patrick
You all would send me a color.
Vincent Goodwill
Photocopy of the Simpsons poster signed.

Vincent Goodwill

Dan Patrick

Vincent Goodwill

Nick Wright
Our house, I still would like to send you some meat, which is what.
Dan Patrick
I was going to do if I lost.
Vincent Goodwill
Sure, I'll. I'll see what I can do with the. The Simpsons. I don't know how we get that done though. I'll work on that, Chris. I never thought I was going to have to make good on that, but Tyler will take your information. I'll let you know, if we can pull that off because we have the Simpsons art, you know, the artwork there, a poster and with all of us there. So if we can make. I don't know if I can make a copy of that. That's just the only thing with the Simpsons. I don't know how that works there. I'll get some of my best people on it, but thank you, Chris. All right, we'll take a break. He's one of the stars of the Eagles super bowl win. Cooper de Jean will join us coming up next year. DAN Patrick Show.

I don't know what he does for his 23rd birthday, but his 22nd birthday was pretty cool. Cooper De Jean, the Eagles defensive back had the pick six as the Eagles win the Super Bowl. They got the parade coming up on Friday. How much sleep since Sunday, Cooper?
Cooper De Jean
Not a whole lot. Not a whole lot. I've been. Been trying to catch up a little bit, but I've gotten. I've gotten very, very little sleep these past few days.
Vincent Goodwill
How was the after party?
Cooper De Jean
It was awesome. It was awesome. It's. It's a lot better when you win.
Vincent Goodwill
Who was the MVP of the after party?
Cooper De Jean
That's a good question. There was, there's quite a few guys that were having a, having a good time at the after party.
Vincent Goodwill
Well, you're just old enough to drink now, now that you're 22. So did you. Did you celebrate as well with these guys?
Cooper De Jean
Of course. Of course I celebrate. I had to. Had to celebrate winning a world championship and on my birthday, so.
Vincent Goodwill
Had to celebrate the defensive game plan of not blitzing. Was that discussed prior to the game? That that was going to be the game plan that nobody is going after Mahomes other than your front four?
Cooper De Jean
Yeah, I mean, I think that's. That's the way we practiced all week, knows just to play our coverage like we. Like we've done all year. Obviously we've blitzed a little bit this year, but I think, you know, we work really well together in the back end. The way we play zone coverage and the way we match routes and, you know, it's. It makes it easy on the back end when, you know, you got a D line up front that gets pressure without. Without having to, you know, blitz the quarterback.
Vincent Goodwill
What was your job. What was your role in the Super Bowl?
Cooper De Jean
My role? I mean, just to disrupt timing and, you know, pack in zones and make. Create tight windows for the quarterback, you know, disrupt timing from the receivers, getting off the. Getting off the line of scrimmage, you know, try to give our D line as much time to get to the quarterback, you know, and then. And then packing those zones, you know, and switch up the picture on the quarterback and, you know, make him have to. Make him have to play quarterback.
Vincent Goodwill
What did you show Mahomes or that maybe he didn't see on your pick six?
Cooper De Jean
Yeah, I think we were playing a zone coverage and the way we played was I was kind of playing off Zach in front of me, and he actually ran to the flat, which was my responsibility, and it allowed me to fall back inside. But I think that's just how it's been all year, just us playing off of each other. And I saw him go out there to the flat, and I was able to fall back inside and kind of be a free player and just read the quarterback and able to pick the ball off.
Vincent Goodwill
When did you start thinking end zone?
Cooper De Jean
Right when I caught the ball. Every time I touched the ball, I want to score. You know, it's been that way since as long as I remember playing football, so. But luckily I got some. Got some blocks out there from the big guys up front, threw me some blocks and found my way into the end zone.
Vincent Goodwill
Did you keep the ball?
Cooper De Jean
Of course.
Vincent Goodwill
Okay.
Cooper De Jean
Of course I kept. I had to keep.
Vincent Goodwill
Sometimes you get too excited and you might, you know, be Spiking it or something, and then teammate has to grab it or something. But look, this isn't normal. Like your age, super bowl going against Mahomes, pick six. I mean, how do you. How do you process that? Of where you were, where you were drafted, and here you are.
Cooper De Jean
Yeah, it's. I mean, I don't think I processed it yet. You know, three and a half years ago, I was in high school and I'm playing on. On the biggest stage and in football in the super bowl. And I think it's just a lot of credit to the people who've helped me along, along the way.
Vincent Goodwill
You didn't have a Mahomes poster on your wall growing up, did you?
Cooper De Jean
No, I didn't. I didn't. But I did watch him, you know, haven't have him play quarterback. You know, I did watch him quite a bit growing up and.
Vincent Goodwill
But did you talk to him at all? Have you talked to Mahomes after the game? I haven't.
Cooper De Jean
No, I haven't. I haven't. I'm not sure. Yeah, I haven't talked to him and.
Vincent Goodwill
I wouldn't ask him to sign the football. I'd. Wait a little while before you do something like that. Take me into halftime. What was it like?
Cooper De Jean
Yeah, I mean, a lot of. A lot of focus. I think, you know, I think everybody understood that this. The game wasn't over because, you know, we understood who, you know, who. Who they were on. On that side, you know, their offense and what they're capable of, their quarterback, their offense, how explosive it is. And, you know, so we knew, we knew it wasn't finished at halftime. And, you know, we had to, you know, we had to go out there and, you know, put it away in that second half.
Vincent Goodwill
When did you know the game was over?
Cooper De Jean
It's. I mean, I don't know if I really crossed my mind until it was later in that.
Vincent Goodwill
In that fourth quarter, like 34 to nothing. I think you feel pretty safe, don't you?
Dan Patrick
Then I.
Cooper De Jean
Then I think we gave up. We gave up a touchdown. So, I mean, I was. I was still a little. Little nervous. I didn't want to, you know, say it was over yet, but there was definitely a lot of. A lot of confidence when we. When we went up 34, nothing.
Vincent Goodwill
Yeah. I think that you guys should put the score 40 to 6 on your ring, because those last two touchdowns, they really don't count. I mean, it was an incredible defensive performance, but you gave up a couple of garbage touchdowns.
Cooper De Jean
Yeah. Yeah. I think the way our Defense played. We just continue to get better over the year. And, you know, the performance that we put out there, you know, in the super bowl, on the biggest stage, I don't think it's a surprise to any of us, the work we've put in throughout the whole year, throughout practice, and then just going out there and do our. Doing our thing, what we've done all year.
Vincent Goodwill
The number of people live in your hometown is what, a thousand?
Cooper De Jean
Just under a thousand. Yeah.
Vincent Goodwill
Okay. Do you get a statue in your hometown? Is there any talk of a Cooper De Jean statue?
Cooper De Jean
I don't. I don't think there's any talk of that. Not that I've heard. At least that I've heard.
Vincent Goodwill
Well, we should start that. Where is anybody more famous in your hometown?
Cooper De Jean
I mean, not. Not that I know of. I don't know if there's. I don't know if there's any. Any professional athletes from. From my hometown.
Vincent Goodwill
A thousand people. You got a traffic light in your hometown?
Cooper De Jean
No.
Vincent Goodwill
Why don't you. Why don't you have one installed? Like you could have the Cooper to Giant have something in there, The Cooper to G. Maybe a park bench, maybe a traffic light stop sign, something. Yeah. Your defense. I mean, stop. I think that would be it, by the way, if I did a slam dunk contest for NFL players. How do you think you do?
Cooper De Jean
You know, I. I got a couple. Couple of tricks in my bag that I could do. I haven't played basketball in a while, so I probably need a little bit of practice, but I think I could compete a little bit.
Vincent Goodwill
What's your go to go to?
Cooper De Jean
I mean, probably just a windmill. Maybe something off the side of the backboard. Could be something off the glass.
Vincent Goodwill
360.
Cooper De Jean
360. Got some ideas.
Vincent Goodwill
I think we should get this together. Maybe I could work on this. I got to work on a statue for you and a slam dunk contest with. With NFL players. Congrats. Great moment for you, certainly for your family and your hometown as well. And thanks for joining us. Be careful at the parade on Friday, Cooper.
Cooper De Jean
Absolutely.
Vincent Goodwill
Be careful. Be careful. Cooper to Jean, the Eagles defensive back. Not a bad birthday. So Saquon's birthday, same day, and he gets the pick six there. I would steer clear of Pennsylvania on Friday. The. The parade going on there in Philadelphia. Oh, boy. Yeah. Paul, Is that the one seed of.
Dan Patrick
Super bowl parades that could get squarely for lack of a better.
Vincent Goodwill
Well, it feels like anytime hockey has a parade, that that would be the number one seed. I was in Vancouver Many, many, many years ago when Vancouver lost the Stanley cup final and I felt lucky to get out of the arena, out of the city and go to the airport. That was. That was a little bit scary.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Vincent Goodwill
You never factor that in. Yeah. And I understand when you lose, you might be upset. It's when you win and then all of a sudden you're turning over cars and you're tearing down light pole. Like, I never understood that. You won. You won. Yes. Todd, did you ever do anything or near somebody that all of a sudden.
Dan Patrick
Their behavior changed dramatically because of that mob mentality?
Vincent Goodwill
Some. Someone that would normally not behave that way gets caught up in the moment, starts doing things you would never expect you. I have.
Dan Patrick
I had some friends that like, I never thought would just kind of get.
Vincent Goodwill
Rowdy, you know, like at a party or they just kind of trying to be like everyone doing, you know, this questionable behavior. What did you do?
Dan Patrick
We were at a party and like.
Vincent Goodwill
People, friends of mine that I didn't realize drank or maybe hadn't before had.
Dan Patrick
One too many, and they're just kind.
Vincent Goodwill
Of jumping around and kind of in.
Dan Patrick
Someone'S house and borderline breaking stuff.
Vincent Goodwill
And like what?
Dan Patrick
They're in someone's house, borderline breaking stuff.
Vincent Goodwill
Banging into like, you know, furniture and what looks like expensive objects in this kid's parents house to me. That's a wild time.
Dan Patrick
How does that comp to a parade with thousands and thousands of people?
Vincent Goodwill
I'm talking about mob mentality in general. Like that.
Dan Patrick
Why is.
Vincent Goodwill
But I don't. Throwing through a car window. Billy just banged into something that looks very expensive.
Dan Patrick
That's crazy. That coffee table is almost broken. You just knocked three books off.
Vincent Goodwill
We're going to borderline break some stuff here.
Dan Patrick
Put a coaster down. You can leave a ring.
Vincent Goodwill
Who's with me? Got to put the plates in the sink. You could just leave it on the floor. So I was going to step on. Wow. Yeah. See, I did do a run in Morgantown, West Virginia, which might as well at some point been an epicenter of mob mentality. And it is crazy how you could think that things like, you know, keg bowling or burning couches is just kind of what you do. Yeah. Like, nah, it's normal. This is what. Yeah. Let's get all of these empty kegs, let's put them at the bottom of this gigantic hill, and then we'll get another empty keg and roll it down from the top of High street all the way down to see. Let's see if we can hit any of them and it turns into just a projectile. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Every time Dayton would beat Notre Dame in basketball, they would burn couches, which I don't know why, because then you need a new couch. But you would go into this part of the campus and there would just be couches burning. And they were celebrating. And I just thought, God, that's dumb. Now you got a. Now you don't have a couch. So it'd be out there on fire after you beat Notre Dame. Marvin, did you ever do anything crazy after the Yukon Huskies won national championships? No. It was a lot of people watching, though.
Nick Wright
And like you said, a lot of people burning couches. Obviously everywhere outside of stores.
Vincent Goodwill
Connecticut. The UConn campus itself is pretty tame. It's on a farm.
Nick Wright
Yeah, but when UConn was in the Final Four, all bets were off.
Vincent Goodwill
Paulie, did you do anything suspicious around.
Dan Patrick
A parade or a celebration? I was around when in Chicago, doormanning when the Bulls won. There's a lot of people who left their cars on Rush street and they should know because they're going to get ripped up, turned over. I didn't participate, but I saw it was some rough stuff with the cars.
Vincent Goodwill
Yeah, there's certain. Well, I just saw the celebration in Philadelphia after they won the Super Bowl. I think they stole two garbage trucks and they were bringing down light poles. I believe maybe police car got turned over. Hopefully. Hopefully tomorrow or Friday will be respectable. Maybe it's a Friday, though. I know.
Dan Patrick
Easy day off work.
Vincent Goodwill
Yeah. It's probably best that it's on a Friday. That gives you Saturday and Sunday to recuperate. Yes. Tom, has it become.
Dan Patrick
I still can't understand.
Vincent Goodwill
I'm no psychiatrist.
Dan Patrick
Psychologist. A free for all of lawlessness.
Vincent Goodwill
Like you now have a certain period of time where you can just do nearly anything because your team won a championship. Like, what would go in someone's mind to think that now it's okay? Something that's against the law is okay for the next few hours. I don't know what goes into their mind. I know what goes into their body. It's called alcohol. That usually is. What is the great enhancer there, Dale in Iowa. Iowa. That's Dale in Iowa. Hi, Dale. Hey, Dan. I just caught your interview with Cooper DeJean. And by the way, his hometown is.
Nick Wright
Older bolt, which is up.
Vincent Goodwill
I live up in that area, the state. And yeah, I think they got grain elevators in a railroad crossing, but that's it. But the one thing that hit me was during that whole thing Cooper De Jean was the one last year against.
Nick Wright
Minnesota that took that punt return late in the fourth quarter for a touchdown.
Vincent Goodwill
That was ruled invalid fair catch. Yep. Yeah. When he would make an interception or turnover, he was planning on taking it back for a touchdown. Zach and Knoxville. Hi, Zach. What's on your mind? Adp, thanks for taking my call, man. As far as the Cooper DeJean stuff, maybe we can put in a four way intersection there in his hometown and if he wins another super bowl, we put in a stoplight. Okay. But in Chris in Tennessee, he said.
Dan Patrick
That you can't compare other eras and.
Vincent Goodwill
Other, you know, teams and things like that. So I hate that your show is supposed to go for another three and a half years, but I thought that was the whole premise of sports talk radio.
Dan Patrick
I'll hang up and listen.
Vincent Goodwill
All right. It's not three and a half years, it's less than three years. But I, I enjoy the conversation and what I love is I'm able to bring back names that maybe you don't factor in or that maybe you didn't get a chance to see. Having seen Dr. J in the ABA or my first, you know, Bill Walton game was his first game he ever played against Luau Cindor or Kareem Abdul Jabar. I got to see Wilt player, got to see Jerry west play, I got to see Oscar play. Bill Russell's the only modern day hall of Famer that I don't think I got to see play. And although I get did get to see the Celtics, I started, I saw the Celtics in 70. So Dave Cowens came there in 1970 and he was co rookie of the year with Jeff Petrie. But to see John Havalchek play, to see games in the garden, you know, so I was very fortunate. But I like when people like Elgin Baylor, to me is maybe the most underrated player in the history of the NBA because nobody saw him. But if you look at his numbers, you know, it's video game stuff where you're going, yeah, he, and he was different. Like he played an athletic game and back then you did not have that. And then you couple him with Jerry west, you had two guys who were really changing the game with their athleticism. But Elgin Baylor, 64 great, great jumpers, score rebounder. And I like that some of these players that maybe you didn't know about, maybe you just see their name in a book and maybe, you know, to bring their story to life. Yeah, Pauline, I really wish I could.
Dan Patrick
Have seen Pete Maravich night to night play college Basketball like we saw Jimmer for debt a decade ago, he was averaging 28, which is really impressive and it was cool. But I can't imagine a guy averaging 44 with no three point line. It's hard to even process and to be able to see it night tonight must have been amazing.
Vincent Goodwill
Well, you knew he was getting the ball and his dad was the coach and he was going to shoot. But we've had a couple of, you know, this day in sports history. Like he scored 47 in the second half of two games. I think in the same year he ended up with 69 points. And once again, if you had a three point shot, and I had the, the great LSU coach Dale Brown, I asked him if he could go back and look at the shooting charts of Pete Maravich when he played. So he did. He went back and looked at the games and the shooting charts. Now once again, they didn't have a three point shot. So he superimposed the three point line and said Pete would have averaged 55 a game and he's playing in the SEC. And you know, now there, there wasn't the integration that obviously you have now. But still, Pete was playing against some pretty good teams. Kentucky was always good, but Dale said that I think Pete's final year at LSU he would average 55 a game, factoring in the three point shot. But that's. Pete was shooting. There was no three point shot. Imagine if you know there's a three point shot, but his handle was as good as anybody who's ever played the game. Now you can say Kyrie and you certainly have an argument. But having watched both of them, Pete did things with the basketball that, you know, maybe the Globetrotters were doing. And that's against the Washington Generals. Yes, Marv. Yeah.
Nick Wright
When it comes to ball handling, he.
Vincent Goodwill
Feels like that evolution chart.
Nick Wright
He feels like the first guy walking.
Vincent Goodwill
Erect, like, because everybody else was, oh God, look at him.
Nick Wright
He was like, nah, we're going, we're going to shoot, we're going to dribble like this.
Vincent Goodwill
Well, we give Bob Koozie a lot of credit, but he was, you know, in, in the era, he was kind of a magician with the basketball, but he was right hand dominant. But he was a creator. I mean, there are a lot of great things about Bob Cousy. Now granted, could he play now? No, he couldn't play now. I get it. He would adapt to today, I'm guessing. But back then, the way he played, he was different than anybody else in the court. And Pete was that way too. Not everybody wanted to play with Pete because, you know, he was a gunner. I think he got to the point where he was such a good scorer, he got bored and then he started making, you know, great passes, but really a wonderful ball handler. He was just never a winner, and I think that that was something that always bothered him. He went to the Celtics late in his career because Larry Bird wanted him to, to go there to play with him. All right, let me take a break. More phone calls coming up. Nick Wright coming up. Top of the hour after this.

Iheart Women's Sports, Seaton Update the poll results I'm not even sure what the poll question is for hour two of this program. Yeah, we had a couple of like sort of poll questions floating around here, but we haven't really addressed the hour one poll question much. Biggest threat to the Eagles in the NFC. Your options are Lions, 49ers commanders, let's see Buccaneers, Vikings, Rams, Other right now running away with that one, 58% is the Lions followed by the Commanders. Then other has 5% of the vote. Who do you think the other is that people are voting for Dallas? I mean that's got to be just Dallas fans though, because nobody takes that seriously. No, no. But you know we talked about this. It's probably mid season maybe a little earlier when we said we the Cowboys have a real problem coming up. It's kind of a good problem. Now they have to pay Dak Prescott and they were gonna have to pay CD Lamb and then they I said they have to pay Micah Parsons. So you have three guys who are going to be top end at their position so you better be really good in surrounding them. And that didn't go well. Micah Parsons is going to get $40 million. He will be the highest paid non quarterback I'm guessing when it's all said and done. CD Lamb got top end money and Dak got top end money. They're not in a good position even though you have one, you know, looks like surefire hall of Famer and Micah Parsons. CD Lamb could be and Dak has been a good quarterback in his career but other than that and you got to make sure that you do not miss when it comes to draft. And don't tell me you're all in when you're not all in when you don't do anything and you hire your coach on a Friday night. Yes Paulie, it does seem like teams.
Dan Patrick
Like even Tampa Bay is probably more threatening. Green Bay packers, they're solid.
Vincent Goodwill
What? Well they made the playoffs I'm sure.
Dan Patrick
Green Bay 11 wins last year. Green Bay outscored their opponents by 122 points. The Cowboys were outscored by 120 points.
Vincent Goodwill
Yeah, Seaton. Yeah. You know, watching the super bowl this year, for some reason, by the end of it, I was like, you know what, man, we need to save CD Lamb. We need to get him off that team and get him into someplace that's going to contend because he's way too good of a player to just be languishing there. Yes.
Nick Wright
Marvin, is he next year?
Vincent Goodwill
Saquon Barkley, that he goes to another team.
Nick Wright
Like, you know, we just got to get a great player out of a bad situation.
Vincent Goodwill
Yeah, but you can't spend all this money on Dak and then take away his number one weapon. Semantics. Yeah, I think. I think you can, though. I think people do that. But then what are you going. The Chiefs let Tyree Kill go. I mean, I granted you still had Kelsey, but. Well, they have a better quarterback. And that was a pretty shocking move, though. Yeah, but it was a running back, the wide receiver. Everybody's looking for those guys running back. You know, we were devaluing them. And I'm curious to see what happens in the draft if all of a sudden teams go. You know, on second thought, we might go a little higher for a running back. Diana Rossini, she works for the Athletics, she's an NFL reporter, and the Scoop City podcast with Chase Daniel. And she had this to say about Aaron Rodgers situation with the jets when.
Dan Patrick
They had conversations with Aaron Rodgers about what the future would look like. If you're going to be part of.
Vincent Goodwill
This team, you're going to attend all.
Dan Patrick
The training camp, you're not going to do Pat McAfee interviews anymore. Wait, they said that?
Nick Wright
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
If you were to stay here, here's.
Vincent Goodwill
How we would want it to be.
Dan Patrick
So this, to me, is Aaron Glenn getting control back. So do you think that if he would have agreed to not do that stuff, that he would have been their quarterback? I think that no matter what the jets were going to say, Aaron Rodgers wanted to move on.
Vincent Goodwill
Well, he did come back to talk to them, so I don't know if he clearly wanted to move on. Because if that's the case, are you really going to go out of your way and fly back to talk to the Jets? I think Aaron Glenn did the right decision, you know, made the right decision. Move on from him, but giving the audience out of respect. But you're going to tell him not to be on McAfee. He's got to be here for all the, you know, off season workouts I mean, okay, you know, the McAfee thing, I don't know how much, you know, how many fires they were putting out because of that, but McAfee's paying him, whatever, a million dollars. He's not going to walk away from that. It's not like Aaron was doing it just out of the goodness of his heart. He was being paid to do that. But, I mean, good for McAfee. Came up with the business model to pay Saban and Belichick. Aaron Rodgers, and you make headlines. But if you're the Jets, I don't know, didn't he kind of take away from all the bad play that you guys had or how bad you are? Maybe we focused on. Maybe Aaron Rodgers took one for the team. He's like, you know what put all this attention on me, not on my team being bad, but I, I would not be. Yeah. And, you know, I keep hearing Steelers, like, for some, like Aaron Rodgers to the Steelers. And I go, I don't get it. Or the Raiders. I kind of get it. But if I'm the Raiders, I'm. And I'm starting out, if I'm Tom Brady, I want to get my own quarterback in there. Do I want Aaron Rodgers for a year? Like, who would ever have thought Aaron Rodgers would be a Band Aid quarterback? Like, come on in for a year. You know, like Tyrod Taylor or something here. Jacoby Brissette, 10 minutes from now, Nick Wright will join us. Get his thoughts on his Chiefs going down in flames. Some people just know they could save hundreds on car insurance by checking Allstate first. Like, you know to check you have the tickets in your wallet first before you drive two hours to the big game. Seriously, you had one job. Now the closest you'll get to the 50 yard line is parking lot D. Yeah, checking first is smart. So check Allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds.
