You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. Well, it's the final hour on this Wednesday. It's a meat Wednesday because we're not here on Thursday and Friday, Dan. It's whined and moaned. And I said, okay, you can have Thursday and Friday off. I'm going to show up for work tomorrow, but these guys won't be here and apparently there won't be a show because nobody else will be here. But I hope you guys are happy. You just let down America. Todd, are you proud of yourself that you wanted to have Thursday and Friday off?
I don't know if proud is the word. I think earned is the word. I think we all can get some days off throughout the year. I think we do a lot of shows compared to like almost anyone else in sports broadcast.
Okay. Yeah. See, Dan, we've been letting America down for 18 years this weekend. That is no different. That is true. All right. Yes. Marvin.
Jim Jackson
I don't feel bad because I worked eight straight years of every single holiday.
Unknown
So I earned it. Boo hoo. You got to work 8, 8 consecutive years of holidays. You got to do that. That's spoken like the owner of a company right there. Yes. You get to. How great is it that you get to do that? Yes.
My managers at the mothership weren't there.
Oh, yeah, I know that you get a big opportunity. The big opportunity, hey, we want to get you in the chair, see what you can do again. Because that's four Christmases in a row.
Dan Patrick
That you wanted to see what I.
Unknown
Could do on Christmas. What about all the other days of the year that you had me in the chair that you wanted to see what I could do. My wife would say, why are you working the holidays? Aren't you supposed to be a big deal there? And I go, I'm working the holidays is the big deal. That's what they keep convincing me. It's a big deal. Hey, man, you're lucky get to work on Christmas. Okay, I'll do it. Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. So it's a meat Wednesday. Beef Wellington, creamed spinach, garlic and sage, whipped mashed potatoes. Who has it better than we do?
Jim Jackson
Nobody.
Unknown
I'm not a cream spinach guy. I like just the regular spinach. Just hardcore. Give me spinach. Give me some vinegar, straight up, a little salt and pepper. Cream spinach, kind of. You're cheating. It's like when you put bacon on Brussels sprouts. Like, you're just kind of cheating. You either have it or you don't. Yes, Paul.
I thought back in the day at Steaks Steakhouses, you were big on the cream spinach.
No, no, no, no. I like regular spinach. Sauteed is what they like. Sauteed spinaches is what they call that. By the way, Clayton Kershaw slated to pitch at home tonight against the White Sox. So going for 3,000 strikeouts, he's got 2,997. And he would be the 20th major leaguer to reach 3,000. He's been pitching great, by the way. Shohei Ohtani homer in the 61 win over the White Sox. He's hit at least 30 home runs in five consecutive seasons. Tied with Aaron Judge for the longest active streak in baseball. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Here comes.
Jim Jackson
Here comes that what?

Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show. You slide into the weekend. Kings Hawaiian wants you to welcome summer Remind you that sliders perfect meal for summer and summer grilling season. Go to kings hawaiian.com for your recipe inspiration. Nathan's hot dog eating contest. Joey Chestnut is back. Over under. The record is 76 hot dogs. And will it be broken and how long? I don't know. What's he got? Fifteen minutes. Is it 76 hot dogs? Yeah. He is an overwhelming favorite to win. Minus 2000. The second favorite, Patrick Bertoletti, is + 1200. But the record of 76 hot dogs, that's the over under. Yes, Paul.
Joey Chestnut taking the year off with the hot dog contest was akin to Jordan playing baseball and Houston Rockets stepping in for. Okay, no one's making that computer.
All right, so Joey Chestnut is back. Wimbledon. You know, a lot of the top seeds on the women's side lost early at Wimbledon.
Yeah, I'm not thrilled about that, by the way. 10 minutes. You have to eat those 10 minutes.
I, I walked in today and we were talking about something, but, you know, road trip to Tahoe and the guest list will have at Tahoe for the next week. And Todd blurts out, did you realize a lot of the top seeds have lost at Wimbledon? And I go, what does that have to do with going to Tahoe? Oh, I just didn't know. I said, yeah, I've watched Wimbledon. Now I realize you're going to London. You're going to Wimbledon.
You realize that now?
Well, I didn't know you're going to Wimbledon.
Yeah, we're going to do two days at Wimbledon on Sunday and Monday, the 6th and 7th.
Oh, so now you care about Wimbledon.
Now I care about. Okay, I always cared about Wimbledon.
I really care about w. Coco golf. Are you going to wear all white?
Yeah, I'm going to get souvenirs. I'll probably get a nice Wimbledon hat and T shirt and whatever I wear. And then I can always go change into the Wimbledon gear.
The Mets Yankees Subway series. That's always entertaining. And Both teams are 48 and 37, although it feels like the Yankees are a better 48 and 37 than the Mets. Saturday, the FIBA World Cup. Paris St. Germain against Bayern Munich. Real Madrid against Dortmund. Yeah, throughout the records. When those guys get together, those are heavyweights right there. That's right. Okay, so that's sliding into the weekend. Brought to you by kings Hawaiian Kings. Hawaiian.com recipe inspiration for you. Our good buddy Jim Jackson is going to join us. Coming up, a few things talk to him about, you know that buyer beware. We hear that a lot. And the Bucks went all in in 2023. They traded a first round draft pick, multiple swaps, and they gave up Drew Holiday to bring in Dame Lillard. So this was a blockbuster deal by NBA standards. Blockbuster deal. It just didn't work out. The Achilles injury. The Bucks have waived him 9 time all star. Be 36 by the time he plays again. The win now and then you deal with the fallout when you don't win. Now everybody hope for more there. This was Dame Lillard's chance to. He got out of Portland. Now you're going to play in big games, you're going to be on national TV a lot more and just didn't work out. But you know, he was away from his family and I don't know if he and Giannis ever really clicked. Maybe they didn't play long enough together to click. But he will, he will be a factor, I think in the playoffs next year. Dame Lillard, somebody going to pick him up if he's healthy and he just, he's going to provide an impact. I really believe that the Pistons Malik Beasley had quote, financial issues prior to the gambling investigation. So there's allegations of gambling on NBA games and he was on the verge of signing a 3 or $42 million deal. So they brought in Duncan Robinson basically for around the same money. He's an outside shooter as well, but he owes a lot of money. Former marketing agency, they say that he owes him two and a half million dollars. I couldn't pay back a six hundred fifty thousand dollar loan and maybe turn to gambling on NBA games to get some of that money back. So there's a lot of things going on here. And when the feds are investigating, this isn't the NBA, this is the feds. NBA is going to try to distance themselves as best they can. Yes. Sounds like one of those stories when somebody wins the lottery. Yeah. And then, you know, five years later they're like, dang, how'd they get so broke? Couple of phone calls in here. 877-3-DP show email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle DP show not to lecture you while I lecture you, but you know, you have the major sports books, we have DraftKings, there's FanDuel, BET, MGM. And because of them, a lot of these violations get detected or the potential for a scandal. You know, real time monitoring. You have to do this because gambling's not going away. It's more accessible than ever. But you have to have an oversight. You have to have somebody who is going to be watching all of this. And the league's credibility depends on this. I don't know. This gets larger with Malik Beasley. I don't know if other teammates are involved in this. I don't know if you know anybody on other teams is involved in this. But there's a, there's a, that's potentially a huge problem here because you must know what you're watching is real. We get more phone calls about sports being fixed. It feels like when there's a controversial call, it'll be like, well, they want them to win, they don't like them. It's not fixed. But I do understand where you could, you could jump to that conclusion. If you read about this now, how did this affect games? Say Malik Beasley was throwing games. You go back and you got to watch and you know, they're, they're, now they're watching stretches when he's on the Floor and the urgency that he played at and the betting line, like, just small things, man. And if a betting line is seven and a half and all of a sudden you're racing to score a basketball so you can go up by 8, these are the things that the feds are looking at. They're gonna. They're gonna look at this almost frame by frame to see what he's doing, how often he did it. And then you're gonna get a paper trail as well. At some point, it'll go a whole lot deeper. David in Ohio. David, what's on your mind? Hey, Dan. Happy meet Wednesday. Nobody. With July 4th coming up. Didn't know who you thought at the show is your Jason Pierre Paul, with having maybe a fireworks accent or something like that. Okay. All right. I don't know if any of these guys are fireworkers. Todd would definitely not be handling fireworks.
I'm gonna have trouble tying my shoe. I'm not playing.
That is true. I could see Paul maybe. Maybe being a fireworker.
When I was young, I was big into it, like with the kids in the neighborhood. But, man, I've seen some stuff in the past few years where it goes the wrong way. Someone getting a little loose. I. I stay away.
I don't even like sparklers. Like, I don't. I don't. I'm not entertained by any of it. But then you get people who are all in. Hey, you got to go over this guy's house. He's got fireworks. I go, yeah, you know, how about I watch from a couple blocks away? Yeah. See, we used to. I haven't gone in a few years, but we used to always go to Cape Cod with my in laws and my two brother in laws. We would all throw in money and get just a gigantic box of fireworks. You smoke a couple cigars, you light the fireworks. But we would go to this one beach, and there's a dozen families on the beach that all do the same thing at the same time. So you have just a massive fireworks display by all random people. It's awesome. That's time. All needs, you know, the rogue, you know, whatever they are in that life, though, Dan, A rogue. Whatever it is all of a sudden. Yeah, but. Yeah, but I don't want to live. I don't want to go where there could be a rogue firework, an M80 or whatever they're, you know. Yeah. A rogue. How about I just don't go there? Yeah. Then I. That I did decrease the possibilities of getting hit by a rogue M80. Yes, Todd.
You can drive on the highway or kind of run across the highway, you know, just to get the highway experience. Like it to the professionals and watch the beauty from a distance.
Thank you to you. Don't get that anywhere else. Yeah, we're going to bottle that. Nobody's getting that. Logan in Indiana. Hi, Logan. What's on your mind today? Well, I am one of the Pacer fans that's not a fan of Miles Turner. And I feel like the media and the fans are all like, ah, the Pacer screwed this. And I'm like, how can a guy say he's loyal when he's offered $20 million a year to not be the top center in the. I wouldn't even say he's one of the top centers in the NBA. I mean, the guy barely could rebound. He was a liability in the playoffs. And I just feel like all the Pacer fans are absolutely like, oh, how can we lose this guy? And it's like, it's a business. And he's not holding up his end of the deal. So I just wanted to vent my frustrations on that and think I'm really mad that he screwed the Pacers because we got no drafts, capital, we got nothing out of a trade, and he went to our rival. Yeah, I know, I know. But if he's not a loss, then don't fret. Like, if you don't care about him, then it's not a big deal. Now, do you want something in return, like a sign and trade? Okay. I mean, Miles Turner is. He's a good player, potential to be a good player. He's not your typical big man. Yes, Paul.
He's kind of perpetually frustrating for me. I watch a guy, he's got to be 6, 11, 260, very athletic. He's never averaged more than seven and a half rebounds a game, ever. I. Russell Westbrook is a better rebounder.
Jim Jackson
Yeah.
Unknown
Zach and Knoxville. Hi, Zach. What's on your mind today? Adp. Thanks for take. Thanks for taking my call. I just wanted to give Marv a little more love on that Matilda line. That was hilarious. And Dylan. Dylan always looks like that picture of El Chapo when they're pulling him out of that hole. Yeah, yeah. And I just wanted to ask Fritzi, is he going over there to Wimbledon to watch, or is he gonna play? I mean, he was second up. Yeah. You are our resident tennis expert.
They have that T. Fritz, that Taylor Fritz.
Yeah. No relation.
No relation. I think he went five steps the other day. They had to go into the next day, because it got late. Over two days. He won in the fifth set. I'm hoping he'll still be by the time I get over there to watch him play, but no relation.
Okay. All right. Yeah. Todd going over to Wimbledon, going over to London. I was a little surprised at that.
I was on the tennis team barely in high school, so I have a.
Were you on the tennis team?
I had a tennis jacket.
Okay.
And I won, like, the courage award or whatever kind of community spirit award. There was some kind of spirit award. After dinner, everyone got their trophies, and the. The coach called me over because I was cheering every very good while everyone was actually playing.
That's nice.
I was there. I went to practices. I'm like, nice shot. 40 love.
Let's go. Yeah, One more.
One more. You'll win the game.
One of my children won, like, a spirit award. We went to, you know, the awards banquet, and they're handing out all of these. The math honors goes to. My kids didn't win any of those things. And then I remember one of my daughters won the spirit award, and I went, all right. You know, a friend of ours, their daughter won, like, five of these. And for the best science, the. The best math and the best English. And then, you know, say, kid ends up going to Dartmouth or Yale. You know, it's like, all right, show off. Hey, my kid has spirit. We got spirit. Yes, we do. We got spirit. How about you? Yes, Paul.
Want to hear something more sad? I once won grade school football. Most improved player. I didn't play the previous season. It was my first year. I had nothing to improve upon.
Well, you improved from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
I didn't. Trust me if you watched. But I got most approved player who didn't play before, by the way, Wimbledon etiquette. I'm looking at the London Evening Standard. Technically, no dress code for Wimbledon, but there really is. They say, smart, casual, light colors, wear nothing dirty. Todd, do not wear jeans.
I will not wear jeans. I'm going to try to wear at least. At the very least, very nice shorts. Like, you know, not like sweatpants shorts, like Jesse shorts.
The collared shirt would be nice. Collared shirt would be nice. No Bronco gear.
Jim Jackson
No Bronco gear.
Unknown
Okay.
Jim Jackson
I think I'm going to wear a.
Unknown
Dan Patrick show hat with everybody's permission.
There.
That's what I packed anyway.
That'd be nice, you know, maybe a cutaway. And then they don't know. Yeah, maybe ESPN will go, oh, there's Todd. Fritz, Chris Fowler's doing, you know, play by play maybe.
Yeah, I want to get a shout.
Out for the why don't you tell Chris Fowler you're going to be there and just say, hey, I'm going to be there. You know, just in case you see me.
I may even go hat and the damn pack show shirt. I may just go double and then my wife will tease me. Oh, you're trying to get noticed or recognize something. But I'm trying to get, I don't know.
That screams, that screams ugly American. Yeah, yeah. I would do the hat maybe.
Okay.
But collared shirt and those, those Chihuahua hairless legs that you have got to.
Yell when they're about to survey. They usually don't like that. It's a whole quiet please camp.
Yeah, don't yell out, get in the hole. Okay. Just don't do that. Let's take a break. Jim Jackson's going to join us coming up. We're back after this.

NBA Title Odds the Thunder still the big favorites. The rockets were 750 plus 750. Now they're plus 700 as the second favorites. Then the Cavs, Knicks, Nuggets, Timberwolves. The Lakers were plus 1500 yesterday. They're now plus 1600 MVP odds. It's still Joker and SGA. And then third is Giannis. Then Luca Anthony Edwards. What about Jalen Brown? Maybe. Is a dark horse MVP gonna have an opportunity to take a lot of shots there? He's gonna put up some numbers there. Let's bring in Jim Jackson. Fox Turner, NBA college basketball analyst in 1992, the fourth pick overall by the Mavs played 14 seasons in the NBA. You were a free agent a couple of times. How does it work young, young in your career, when or older in your career of where you're going to go and why you choose a certain team?
Jim Jackson
That's a great question, Dan. And then it depends too, on your leverage. A lot of it too, is leverage wise what's available in the market. Okay. Because ideally you want to pick and choose where you go as a free agent, but unfortunately for a lot of guys that don't have leverage, you don't have those options. So a lot of times you're kind of put to a place in a situation where it may be where a need is there, but it may may not be the best opportunity because you don't have the leverage to get to maybe Team A that you wanted to get to because their options were already taken up. And for me, after I, you know, injured my, my ankle my third year and got traded to the Nets right when my contract was expiring, well, after I went, then I went to Philly. Then I was the first time I was a free agent was after my Golden State year, but I was after some trades. And where to go was a little bit challenging because the options weren't there as much as, let's say if I it was three years before, before my injury, I would have had a lot more options and then I could have leaned into that leverage to kind of navigate where I wanted to go. So it really depends on the player, the situation, where they're at in their career, and then what's available in the marketplace. Because you know it, Dan. A lot of times if you're on the front end of the free agency kind of run, then you got some really good options. If you're on the back end of that free agency run, when they're not a lot of slots, not a lot of roster spots available, not a lot of places that have money, then you're kind of stuck with what's available. And a lot of times they can work, but a lot of times it may not work in your favor.
Unknown
Do you ever pick a spot, a place just to live because you like the location, the weather?
Jim Jackson
You say Miami. What'd you say? I didn't hear.
Unknown
But would you rather play in Miami or visit Miami?
Jim Jackson
Well, you know, at the time, because of Pat Riley play, because he was an iconic coach at the time and the franchise was still coming off the back end of those competitive Eastern Conference playoffs with New York and Indiana. Alonzo Morning was a really good friend of mine. We came in the draft together. But then also too, I didn't have a Lot of option. I had options, but not a lot. That was the best of the few that I had and that made the most sense, so. Plus they didn't have any state tax. Now, I wasn't there. I had a cup of coffee there. But I will say this, it's one of the best decisions I made because from an organizational perspective, they still treat me like I was there, you know, five or eight, 10 years.
Unknown
Do you have all your jerseys from all your stomps?
Jim Jackson
Yeah, I got, I got. I'm missing one. Damon Stoudemire still has my Portland jersey. And I keep telling him, bro, send me my Portland jersey. I, I don't know what he's doing with it. So my mom has them all. So that's a lot of collectibles right there in the basement.
Unknown
How many teams?
Jim Jackson
12.
Unknown
Dang.
Jim Jackson
I know, man. Hey, you know, I never would have thought it. I mean, again, it's, here's, here's the duality of that, though, Dan. It's allowed me now going into. I thought I was gonna be a maverick for life. The injury happened and some other things happened. Free agency, short term deals, a little longer deals. But throughout that course, I played with some outstanding, some hall of Fame players, I played in some great cities, played for some great teams, and more importantly, met a lot of great, outstanding business people that I never would have met if I was just in one city. So I had to get my mind wrapped around, okay, if I'm going to be here and I'm going to move around, how can I benefit outside of the game of basketball? And that's what I, that's what I did. So it was a blessing in disguise, long term, but short term, you know, it did impact, you know, my overall playing career.
Unknown
Jim Jackson, Fox Turner NBA College basketball analyst LeBron James had Kevin Durant on his podcast and he said that Durant's one of the few guys, he brought up, Steph Curry, that when he takes a shot, he's surprised when it doesn't go in. Is there anybody you would put on that list in today's NBA? And then we could expand that to former players that when they take a shot, you're surprised it didn't go in.
Jim Jackson
Now, those are the two, really. SGA is getting to that point to where, especially when he gets to his mid range, it's like, I can't believe you missed that shot, like at end of the game in the series. Because Indiana, when he missed the shot, it was like he got to a spot. And that's all you want to do as a player, can I get to my spot, get up to where I need to be and get the shot I want, not what the defense dictates. And when you talk about Stephen, you talk about kd, talking about mj, you talk about now sga. Those guys know how to navigate the defense good enough to get to their spot. Now, whether they make it, it's whether the defense is involved or whatever. But the question is, make or miss, as a player, this is the mindset you have, man. Did I get my shot? Did I get to where I wanted to get to? And if that's the case, you can live with the result.
Unknown
Would you rather guard Durant or Steph Curry? If you had to choose between the two?
Jim Jackson
Durant. Oh, definitely. And not because Steph is better. Steph runs too much, man. I mean, if he's running two miles a game, that means you're running two miles a game. You know what I mean? Chasing him, let alone what you're doing on the offensive end. And that's. That's like. What would you rather guard? Well, I. I can't say that M.J. or Reggie. I'd rather guard Reggie. Let me take that. Let me take that. But Reggie Rich, Rip Hamilton, same way. It was certain guys that put so much pressure on you because of their constant movement that they may not have been. Maybe you hear trash out there, they come to get some trash, had to throw away outside.
Unknown
There's a lot of jerseys.
Jim Jackson
They can pick up more than jerseys in that trash. Evidently, that's a heavy, heavy bed out there. But those are the guys. You know what I mean? That. That give. That give guys like me trouble, because defensive, I can get up into somebody, I can use my strength, lateral movement. But when you're constantly moving, running off of screens, those are the toughest guys to guard.
Unknown
I would love LeBron to ask Kevin Durant this question. Do you think you're better than me?
Jim Jackson
I don't think LeBron would do that.
Unknown
I know, but I would love for him to do it, because I'd love to know what Durant would say.
Jim Jackson
Hopefully, he would say yes.
Unknown
Okay. But that's.
Jim Jackson
I mean, yes. I mean, because. And there's no disrespect.
Unknown
No, because I would say, do you think you're better than me?
Jim Jackson
Right.
Unknown
You can say, yes. Then I can say, why now?
Jim Jackson
He can break down the area.
Unknown
Yes, yes, exactly. Now, granted, you know, as the host, like, if I had Bob Costas on or, you know, throw out somebody, Mike Greenberg, I'm not. I wouldn't ask, do you think you're better than me?
Jim Jackson
Because what would you ask him?
Unknown
Well, I don't know if anybody really cares. Like we're different in what we do. Well, LeBron and KD play basketball.
Jim Jackson
Okay.
Unknown
I mean, that's different.
Jim Jackson
Okay.
Unknown
Like my show and what you do, you know, all those.
Jim Jackson
Yeah, that's different. Yeah, that's different.
Unknown
Do I think I'm better than Bob? Yes, at certain things. And then he's better than me at certain things. But I mean, that's not interesting to the audience. But Katie and LeBron, like when I asked Steph Curry, this is probably 10 years ago, and I said, do you think you're a better offensive player than LeBron? And he said yes. And it went viral. People went crazy. And I'm going, it's not crazy. But, you know, Steph says he's better than LeBron offensively. I would just love to know if Katie would say, this is why I'm better than you. And I would love to have that discussion because then Katie is going to say, do you think you're better than me? And then you turn it around and you go, why? I think you could have a fun conversation between two of the all time greats. Now, it might be rude for LeBron.
Jim Jackson
To say that, but how about, how about Steve Nash? Steve Nash can ask the question. He can, he, he can play the buffer in between. He can bring it up like this, Dan. Like it's been his conversation. Like, who's better between the two of you?
Unknown
Oh, I like that.
Jim Jackson
Okay.
Unknown
Yeah.
Jim Jackson
You know, and kd, I'll start with you. If you're, if you think you're better than Lebron, then, then why? Yeah, and vice versa. And now you got this engaging conversation that's not started by LeBron, but it's a mediator in between, which is Steve Nash, and he sparks that conversation.
Unknown
I like that. I'm going to give you applause. Nobody giving you applause.
Jim Jackson
Wait, I know. Nobody, Nobody else.
Unknown
Marvin.
Jim Jackson
I'm, I'm used to it. There's only one person that's my mom giving me the flaw. I'm used to that.
Unknown
What is LeBron getting or rich Paul getting at where they're talking about we need to win now for LeBron.
Jim Jackson
Well, it's, it's, it's true in some aspects because, you know, he's at the back end of his career and you put a lot of pressure on Rob Palinka and management. Now you got new management coming in that they have to make Some moves, and they got to spend some money to do it. Yeah, and that's the thing, because now you got all this influx of new money, new ownership, and if you want the Lakers. Well, you want the Lakers to continue to be kind of marquee franchise, you got to spend some money. Look at the teams that have won NBA titles. They spent money. Now, OKC is a little bit different because they built theirs organically and didn't have to have a big salary cap and payroll because a lot of the guys were young. But from the perspective of Golden State of Milwaukee, teams like that, that now are Boston, that were in that first apron and now the second apron, you had to spend some money. You had to go out and overpay to get talent to win it. And then once you win it, you can reevaluate where you want to move to the future, because that's what Boston is doing right now. Boston is basically on a salary dump. They're trying to get underneath that $230 million threshold. So to give him some leverage, you know, a couple of years down the line.
Unknown
NBA MVP odds for next season. Joker and sga.
Jim Jackson
Yeah.
Unknown
Venice, Luca, Anthony Edwards, who would you joke?
Jim Jackson
I think SGA is going to be the front runner again. Yoke is.
Unknown
It's tough to go back to back.
Jim Jackson
But as Yoke, I mean, Bird did it, Moses Malone did it. I mean, Steve Nash did it, and Steve Nash didn't want the title, you know, but they had the best record, you know, one of those years.
Unknown
I see. I think Luca. I think it. I think it's Lucas.
Jim Jackson
You think it's Luca in la because he's gonna.
Unknown
Okay, we've given it to Joker, what, three times. SGA just won. They don't like to do that again. Maybe it's Giannis with a different roster there. I mean, he put up incredible numbers. I don't see Anthony Edwards, but I think Luca in shape, high profile team, and now all of a sudden, like he hadn't won an mvp. It feels like this sets up for Luca to be your mvp.
Jim Jackson
Well, refocus Luca a more definitive, focused. I got in shape, I stayed in shape because remember, Luca came into camp in shape and that means the Lakers are winning. Okay. From that perspective, they're right in the hunt. See, all those things, I think factor in when you start talking about MVP and Luca, this may be what happened with the trade. Long term may be the best thing for Luca, because I. I believe. And as. As he should. He probably felt untouchable in Dallas. He can do whatever he wanted to do in Dallas that they weren't going to trade him. You know, he had earned a little bit of that, a lot of that because of. He took him to a conference, you know, finals, took him to championship game. He did all of those things at a young age. So it's hard not to, to kind of think that. But this may be the reset that he needs psychologically, because I was, I was watching something. Damn. When they show, look at 19, 20 years old, how he looked, how his body looked, how he moved. Totally different player. If he gets back to a semblance of that, watch out, it's different. And his mindset is going to be different. How he plays is going to be a little bit different. And his impact on the game and winning, not that he hasn't won, because obviously what I just talked about is winning, getting to a finals and getting to a Western Conference final. But I think that that reset probably is what he really needed at the time. So we're going to see how it plays out.
Unknown
Is it tough to stay in shape during the season?
Jim Jackson
No. I mean, not for a guy like that that's playing all the time.
Unknown
But hostile travels.
Jim Jackson
Oh, that's. I mean, you got diet, you got training. Listen, let me tell you something. I travel with the Clippers. You got any and everything you need to be a top tier athlete. You got your trainers to work out with during the day. You have the set meals, okay, Whether that's the breakfast in the morning, the brunch after shoot around, the dinners at night. But it just goes back to discipline at the end of the day. Are you disciplined enough to understand, one, your sleep is important to your, nutrition is important, okay? And three, taking care of your body, okay? Throughout the season. You're not practicing as much, so that means you, that you have more time to take care of your body. And that falls upon the individual player. Because everything basically that a player needs is there at their choosing. When, how, where and how much. If you choose not to mentally stay engaged and be disciplined, then that's a you prop. And I think that's something that Luca got too comfortable with a little bit more. In Dallas, it came like Zion. It came so easy for them to dominate at the size in which they were, that they were like, you know, if I have a beer over here or I have this or I eat this, I could still run it off and be okay. But long term, those injuries start to pile up. You're not playing as well, you're not on the court as much but whose.
Unknown
Conditioning worries you more, Luca or Zion?
Jim Jackson
Zion.
Unknown
And. And I don't know if enough people are focused on that. They weren't.
Jim Jackson
Zion changed, though. He changed his body. Okay. He changed his body. Both. Both concerned me. But I think Luca, I don't know, it's something about him. I think this right here, this, this move over the. Over, you know, last season and then going into this summer with all these questions, I think this was a little bit different. Zion is still in the same place.
Unknown
Zion doesn't have a role model there. Luca's got LeBron.
Jim Jackson
Yes, that's right.
Unknown
That, that. All you have to do is look at LeBron and say, that guy is. Continues to play at a high level. He's in shape. He is. You know, he doesn't get. Although he got banged up, you know, last in the postseason with his right.
Jim Jackson
With his meniscus.
Unknown
Yeah. But it doesn't happen very often. Hey, it's great to connect with you again.
Jim Jackson
Always.
Unknown
Thanks for joining us. Hopefully they get all your garbage there outside.
Jim Jackson
You know what?
Unknown
This would be garbage time for you, I think.
Jim Jackson
Garbage time.
Unknown
Yeah. Nothing wrong with that. Get in the game. Get some shots off. Jim.
Jim Jackson
Hey, I was about to throw my clubs in there the other day, but I played well, so I took them. I took them out the trash bag.
Unknown
Thank you, Jim.
Jim Jackson
All right.
Unknown
Now that's Jim Jackson. He works for Turner and Fox. He's fun. Yeah. What's. How many stops? 12. 12 different teams. He probably had a couple repeaters on there, didn't he, Marv?
Jim Jackson
He did. But the thing was he's. He was a bucket everywhere. He averaged 15 points for his entire career.
Unknown
I'll take that. Absolutely.
Jim Jackson
That many teams, he feels like he's probably a contract casualty. Like, you know, he was expensive, so we had to trade him.
Unknown
Yeah. I would feel like all these teams wanted me. Hey, they want me. That's it. Last call for phone calls. What we learned, what's in store tomorrow. I'm going to go out and check out the Traeger grills on this meet. Wednesday after this, be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick.

Last call for phone calls. What we learned, what's in store for tomorrow even though we won't be here tomorrow or Friday and then we're going to Tahoe. Great guest list so far. Fritzi is working the phones to get some fun people on. I think the comedy comedian Nate Bargazzi.
I Think he's going to be part of things next Friday in Tahoe?
Okay.
He's a hot ticket these days.
Oh. All I know is I could run down the whole list of guests we could have on. And then I got to Nate, and my kids were like, is he gonna be. Are you gonna talk to him? You're gonna see him? And I go, yeah, he's probably gonna be there. It's like, okay. So as you've come to expect, we'll have a lot of the movers and shakers out there. Tahoe, the American Century Golf Tournament.

If we beat Rich Eisen. You know, we have to win that, though, so we don't. We don't know the results from it. You know, they're still tabulating that on who. Who won. I think you'll be surprised. I. I hope you'll be entertained. Maybe you'll be more entertained than surprised, But I think our personalities stood out. I think Marvin and Fritzi had a really good day. I think a really good day. And I did go in with a philosophy that we didn't want to pass on the opportunity to do all the clues to try to answer the question, because that meant more airtime for us, that even if it went to Rich Eisen, as they were trying to steal it, even if they stole it, they were only on camera for 30 seconds with that. So that was the philosophy. It was like, no, let's answer all of these. We're going to milk all the camera time that we can. And we got a lot of. We got a lot of FaceTime there, but Marvin and Fritzi did a wonderful job this day in sports history. What do you have?
Paul A. Rod became the third youngest player to be selected to the American League All Star team.

All right. On this day, 2008, Seattle Seahawnics Supersonics became the Oklahoma City Thunder. Oh, no. Yeah. They got. They got rebranded. They relocated and then they rebranded.
