Hey Will, do you ever get overwhelmed by how much science happens these days? Constantly. I'm like, ah, there's so much science I can't keep track of it all. Then it's a good thing. Our podcast, Part Time Genius is counting down the 25 greatest science ideas from the past 25 years. That's right, Mango. We're talking animals in a paper called, quote, chickens prefer beautiful humans. Right? This was actually the title of the paper. They all discovered that, much like humans, chickens are attracted to symmetrical faces. Got it. We're talking medical miracles. He's an endocrinologist who found a way to stimulate insulin producing cells using, wait for it, the saliva of a Gila monster. There's no way to make that not sound crazy. We even talked to some of the experts behind these breakthroughs. It's a week full of fact packed stories you won't want to miss. So listen to the Part Time Genius countdown of the 25 greatest science ideas of the past 25 years starting Monday, March 3rd on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up everyone? It's Greg Rosenthal and I'm teaming up with the King of Spring, Daniel Jeremiah. He requires me to say that we're going to be bringing you 40s and free agents, the only podcast you'll need this NFL draft season. From DJs, mock drafts to my top 101, free agents will have it covered for you with all new episodes every Thursday keeping you up to date as we head to the NFL Draft. Listen to 40s and free agents on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. What's up everyone? Julie Swearbinks here along with former NHL player Nate Thompson. We're doing a new podcast together. Here we go, the Name Energy Line with Nate and jsb. Each week we'll get together and talk about hockey life. All topics are Fair game, right? Exactly. And you'll never know who will drop by to join us. Julie is pretty well connected. She has text threads going that you wouldn't believe. Listen to EnergyLine with Nate and JSB on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Ever wonder what it would be like to be mentored by today's top business leaders? My podcast this is Working can help with that. Here's advice from Google CMO Lorraine Tuhill on how to treat AI like a partner. I see AI as incredible copilot. You may use different tools or toys to get the work done, but AI is just the latest flavor of that. You're still the judge of what good looks like. I'm Dan Roth, LinkedIn's editor in chief. On my podcast this is Working Leaders share strategies for success. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. Final hour on this Thursday, Dan and the Dan Edge. Dan Patrick Show. Lakers, Knicks coming up tonight. That's spicy. Knicks are getting four and a half on the road. We say good morning to our radio affiliates. IHeartRadio, Fox Sports Radio if you're watching on Peacock. Thank you for downloading the app. We'll come up with a final hour poll question. Jim Jackson, One of our favorites is the Fox sports analyst, former NBA guard. I'm going to ask him if LeBron and Luke are the best duo in the NBA. Raiders are paying. Max Crosby now the highest paid non quarterback in the NFL. Chargers, say goodbye to Joey Bosa. DK Metcalf wants out of Seattle and the Bears get an offensive lineman, Joe Tuney from the Chiefs. And that was a little bit surprising. But I think the Chiefs Joe Tuney was playing tackle and playing out of position. He's an offensive guard now. He'll go to the Bears and hopefully help protect Caleb Williams. Alexander Ovechkin nine behind the great one and Cavaliers have won 12 in a row. The Knicks at the Lakers coming up tonight. Poll question for the final hour is going to be what? Well, I'm populating this right now. Best do it. Best duo in the NBA right now. Okay. LeBron and Luca Tatum and Brown would be the, the next one, Right? Do we put Jokic Murray in there? That's, that's a solid duo right there. That's probably underrated. Yes. Okay, let's see. Who else do we put in there? Giannis and Dame. Okay. Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. Okay. Maybe. Yeah. Okay. You know, when I thought of it, I'm like, well, there has to be a duo that's better than Luke and LeBron. And I'm like, I don't think so. Now you can say Jalen Brown or Jason Tatum. Jalen Brown because of their age and what they've accomplished, but right Now, Luke and LeBron, because LeBron is holding up his end of the bargain. Yeah, Paulie, the fact that we all paused with Giannis and Dame, it didn't really work out right off the bat. No, that cooled. They're above well above 500, but they're not. They're a little off the radar lately. Paul George and Joe Will. That's not nice. Sorry. Sorry. He stopped doing this podcast to focus, though. Paul George, now I want to hear from him. You know, it's like a reality show. When there's really stuff going on with people in a reality show, then they never show that. Like, I want to hear from Playoff P and how much of a mess it is right now. We also stumbled on deathbed sports confessionals, and we'll continue that. Rocco in Florida. Hey, Rocco, what do you have for me? Hey, I saw morning, by the way. 59190, so I had this one throughout there with Paul Pierce. How hurt were you? Because, you know, most time you're carried off and most of you get carted off and you're out for the game. You know, unless it's like a European, like soccer or baseball. In Italy, they have that magical can of spray. I don't know if you ever seen that. They sprayed on their, you know, body. Wherever they're hurting, they just pop up. Yeah. Other than that, were you really that hurt, or was it for the momentum? Get the momentum back? You come out of the locker room. No, he had to go to the bathroom. I think he had to go to the bathroom. I mean, that's the rumor. Got off the wheelchair. Yeah. Yeah. I've had a few rough ones. Never needed a wheelchair. Well, gotta go. Can you call a timeout and then all of a sudden, run to the locker room? Darren in Bakersfield. Hi, Darren. How you doing, Dan? Love your show. Thank you, dear. All right. I think the deathbed confidential. The one question we all want to know from OJ Is, is it true you use a gun during that robbery of your property in the motel room? Oh, that wouldn't be the one that I would want to know. Darren. Darren, let me tell you something. Darren, he's playing. His humor is 4D chess right now. That is Good job, Darren. Did you use the gun in the robbery? Fresh in Milwaukee? I fresh. What's on your mind? What's up, dp? How about the deathbed confessional from referee Timothy Donahue? Oh, I know he got something stanky to say. All right. Tim Donaghy. Tim Donaghy, yeah. I'm sure he has some things to say anyway. He's already said some things. I would just like to know if there are other NBA officials involved in that. And there have been a couple of podcasts that talk about that, but I don't know, we had Tim on years ago and I don't know, it always just sounded. And it's not that he maybe wasn't telling the truth or kind of telling the truth, but it always just sounded a little backroom shady stuff. Yes, Paulie, this might be down the chart a little bit, but I got a couple questions for Jose Altuve. Just a couple. Put it to bed. You're in the clear. No, no pun. What do you mean in the clear? No pun? Well, I'm just saying, like when he was. Had his jersey ripped off and stuff like that, did he have a tattoo on his chest that was fresh? Did he have a signaler? Oh, there's a lot going on there that still wanted. Oh, I thought you were talking about the cream and the clear or clear and the cream, whatever it was. Joseph in California. Hi, Joe. What's on your mind today? Good morning, Dan. First time, long time. 6, 2, 2, 15. I had a deathbed concession. I'd like to ask Shohei Otani, was he the one betting? Even as a Dodger fan, I am a little bit curious. Okay, it's a fair question. It's a lot of money to not know where that money was going, but. And the commissioner wrapped that up quickly. He was like, all right, we wrapped it up, everything's good. Like, wow. That. That was. The guy admitted to everything after an exhaustive four day investigation. Excuse me, Julianne in San Diego. Hi, Julianne. Oh, hey, dp. Thanks for taking my call. I got my car and I heard the DK Metcalf body versus athleticism. And Paulie asked if women care about that. So I thought I'd give my point of view there. Okay. I am not an 8 or 9, to be honest. At one point maybe I was, but I'm more like a solid 7 now, but I'm pulling a 10. And I can tell you that if he wasn't at least as athletic as me or more, it wouldn't matter how good he looked. So you gotta be at least on the same level, if not a little bit more with that. All right, there you go. Unscientific, but that's Julianne saying she's not an 8 or 9. She's maybe a 7, but she could pull a 10. But would you like to look like DK Metcalfe but you're not athletic at all? It's a great question. Well, I, you know, I didn't think I would be talking about that today, but then once again, on this show, since it's scripted, I should have been able to have foretold that. Yes. Marv. Do you know how bad people will judge you if you look like that? You have no athletic ability at all? Like, wait, so what do you do? I would be asking, what do you do? I would be okay with it. Why? Well, because. Because you're too sexy for your shirt. But people look at me now and say, really? You played? And be like, well, no, I just played a little bit growing up. So they don't, you know, I don't look athletic. Yeah, but we would rather it be like, you look like, you know, like a God. And. And then when you try to run, you look like. Like, like that's how you run. All I need to say is the following. If I was built like DK Metcalf, I would go, and. And if a woman said, oh, my gosh, you must have played sports. No, I. I walk the runways of Paris. Oh, that's it. Game over. I don't think so. Yeah. Hell yeah, I'd love to try it. I don't know. Yeah. Walking on the beach, all of a sudden, I don't think anybody's going to care if I was athletic or not, or if I could throw a beach. A beach ball. As Todd says, who throws a beach ball to begin with? Yes, Paul. Which be worse, though? Being jacked like DK Metcalf and not athletic or being 6, 8 and having no basketball skills whatsoever? Like, if you're. Imagine you're. I knew this kid in college, he was 6 foot 8, and he looked like a basketball player. He was the worst basketball player. People have to. Must ask you all the time, can you play? Would you want to play? I. I would be fine being DK Metcalf. I don't know why this is a big, you know, controversy. What about being 6, 8 at age. Oh, I don't want to be 6, 8 and not be able to play. But if I'm DK Metcalf and I look like that, I'm Fine with that. Wait, you never played? No, you know, I'm. I'm into academics. Oh, thank you. You can steer this however you want to. I was a Runway model, you know, I spent a lot of time with academics. That's very important to me and my mother. Oh, he loves his mother. I mean, come on, I got this one. Ready? Yes. His mother. That's weird. You know, the funny thing is about this conversation is conversation. You could look like DK Metcalf. Thank you. You just chose not to. No, I couldn't look like dk. Everybody here could have spent a ton of time in the gym and got themselves as ripped as humanly possible. Todd did, actually, for a little while. And now everybody. Everybody collectively chose to not do that. Todd, did anybody say to you when you were jacked, hey, what sport do you play? They did not. They did accuse me of, like, taking steroids when I was at the gym, but that was more for, like, fodder. And the gym in Brooklyn where it looked like everybody was on. Okay, so that's a compliment I took that you somehow survived where they knew you weren't athletic, but you were jacked. Yes. They. They would compliment on the physique and just see if you're taking something, but never, like, what sport you play or anything. Well, that's guys who were probably saying. I don't know if the women were saying, are you juice Todd? That was 100%, guys. Yes. Of course. That's all you hung out with. Yeah. Seaton. You know why they didn't ask jacked Todd if he played any sports? Why? Because he was so athletic. You already knew. Or it was like so unathletic. You already knew that he didn't play sports. That's the whole point. The guy looks shredded, but you could tell, like, this dude could barely put two feet in front of it. Seon. He played backup doubles tennis in high school, and he was on the winning pickleball team at the Super Bowl. Two time allstar in little league. Yeah. Lincoln Savings Bank, Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. But no, I'd be the guy that, oh, I dropped a barbell on my foot. And then I may be like that clutchy guy that I hope no one would ask me to spot them. I'd be terrified if I had to, like, help them. Someone should get a bar off their neck. Someone would ask me, could you spot me this guy? It's like gigantic. I'm like, I don't want any part of that. I regret this topic. I'd like to apologize. Yeah, I'd like to apologize to DK Metcalf and our audience. Jim Jackson's fault, really. Yeah. Where is Jim Jackson? It's not like him. He's always very punctual. Well, he put the jack into Jim Jackson. I see what you did there. Okay, thank you. I mean, all. Todd could be as jacked as he wants, right? And he could walk the runways of Milan and all of these things, and then the minute he starts using a pair of scissors, it's over. Nobody. Well, okay. Or a broom, but that's different. Break out a broom. Like, hey, can you sweep this up real quick? I'm sorry. Like, there's that, but that's not that you're athletic. That just means that your mom didn't do any everything for you. That's exactly what normally function human. Yes. Like, you picked up a broom around the house, and I would FL. Flex with that broom like nobody. I would just flex the biceps while I'm even. Remember? Well, I know you guys remember when we cut down the nets, the final show that we did at the Old Man Cave, and Todd was up there. So Todd, that's because there was no lefty scissor. Let's just take lefty scissors. Todd did not. Okay, what's more embarrassing, Todd didn't know how to use a broom or Todd didn't know how to use scissors. You know how to use scissors. But it was righty scissors. No, no, you didn't understand that. You pulled the net down, you create some tension, and then you clip it. So I did screw that part up. Understand that it's not the scissors, it's the scissor. I think they're both equally extremely sad. I think that you did not know how to use a broom is still one of the more remarkable things in the 20 years I always used a vacuum cleaner. For the very few times that I did anything around the house, I had one of those electric vacuums. Todd. It's a broom. I take out the Dustbuster and I press the button on. Hopefully it's charged. And then it was a broom. Rooms can be complicated. You thought it was a shuffleboard. I did use it as a shuffleboard. Kind of a push broom. It was amazing. Something you sweep with. Amazing. Just kind of pushing the crumbs into the corner there, gathering them. But no, we had confetti. And. And you were pushing it like it was a shuffleboard. I know I could tell you the periodic table, the elements, but I couldn't do the broom of the scissors fail. See, that's why Grade point average is so overrated. Book smarts versus street smarts. Yes, exactly. Yeah, it's me versus you. That's exactly what it is. Yeah. I would cheat off your paper. I was covering the answers. They're not gonna just come walk in here and get the same grade with me. I've been studying for this test for a month. No way. I remember the basketball manager, Greg Sligar, straight A. And I basically was saying to Greg, you know, if you want to keep me eligible, you better let me cheat off your paper in chemistry. And then. But you got to be careful. You get around an 83. You know, Greg would get like a 98. And then I'd be like, I gotta hover in the 83. Don't want to go too crazy here. All right, so we'll see if Jim Jackson will join us. I had a great question there for him. Best duo in the NBA right now. Call Jamal Mashburn or anybody else who was on the Dallas Mavericks back then. George McLeod. Let's see if he's around. George McLeod. He could score. Did he have a 50 point game? Correct. George McLeod. Rando, rando, rando. 50 pointer. Rando. Oh, by the way, here's something for you. Let me see here. Here it is. Here it is. James Harden scored 50 points last night. He's got 24 career games of 50 or more points. So he's one behind Kobe. James Harden's fourth on the all time list. Then it's Kobe who is second on that list because we know Wilt is first on that list. It is Michael on that list? Is he second? I'm going, Mike. Okay, that's what I thought. I was like, wait, I thought Kobe was second for some reason, but it's Wilt. Is it Michael after that? Does that sound right, Marvin? I would assume so. I'd be shocked if it wasn't. Mr. Great memory. This is when you're supposed to say, oh, yeah, it's Michael. Yes, Paul. I have wilt with 11850 point games. Michael Jordan with 31, Kobe 25, Harden 24. Okay, that's what I said. All right, well done, Marvin. All right, we'll take a break, see if Fritz, he can locate Jim Jackson. We'll get to more of your phone calls coming up. We're back after this.

Energy Line with Nate and JSB is the name of the podcast and it's gonna be, well, it's gonna be quite the ride. We're officially line mates, Nate. We're the energy line. We'll have plenty of folks join us. Current players, some of my former teammates, hall of Famers. And wait till you see some of the connections that Julie has. She has quite the Rolodex. Okay, we'll lean into Nate's playing experience and tap into our interests away from hockey and try to do what energy lines are supposed to do. Provide an emotional boost. How do you feel about all that, Nate? I'm vibing Julie. I'm ready to roll. Listen to EnergyLine with Nate and JSB on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Ever wonder what it would be like to be mentored by today's top business leaders? My podcast this Is Working can help with that. Here's some advice from Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, on standing out from the leadership crowd. Develop your eq. A lot of people have plenty of brains, but EQ is do you trust me? Do I communicate well? You know, when you walk in a room, do people feel good you're there? Are you responsive to people? Do people know you have a heart? Develop the team, Develop the people. Create a system of trust. And it works over time. I'm Dan Roth, LinkedIn's editor in chief. On my podcast, this is Working, leaders like Jamie Dimon, Mark Cuban and Richard Branson share strategies for success and the real lessons that have shaped them. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Tomer Cohen, LinkedIn's chief product officer. If you're just as curious as I am about the way things are built, the insights behind what it takes to create a world renowned product, then tune into my podcast Building one. There's so much to learn, like how Patagonia innovates with its supply chain. We had to go out to farmers and convince them it was really damn hard. Or the way Adobe thinks about the first interaction somebody has with Photoshop. I was always so fascinated by how people navigate and find their way. Ever wanted to know how Nike builds emotion into the Jordan brand? You have to be obsessed with the current state of the human condition. And it doesn't stop there. What about how glean reinvented Knowledge Search with AI, you can learn about how a Michelin star chef is redesigning seeds for flavor and how Pixar is nurturing a creative culture. Listen to Building One on the iHeartRadio app, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. Have you ever wondered if your pet is lying to you? Why is my cat not here and I go in and she's eating my lunch? Or if hypnotism is real, we will use this suggestion in order to enhance your cognitive control. But what's inside a black hole? Black holes could be a consequence of the way that we understand the universe. Well, we have answers for you in the new I Heart Original podcast Science Stuff. Join me Jorge Cham as we tackle questions you've always wanted to know the answer to about animals, space, our brains and our bodies. Questions like can you survive being cryogenically frozen? This is experimental. This may never work for you. What's a quantum computer? It's not just a faster computer, it performs in a fundamentally different way. Do you really have to wait 30 minutes after eating before you can go swimming? It's not really a safety issue, it's more of a comfort issue. Talk to experts, break it down, and give you easy to understand explanations to fascinating scientific questions. So give yourself permission to be a science geek and listen to science stuff starting March 12 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Kind of a random performance last night with the Celtics. No Jason Tatum. No problem. Derek White and Peyton Pritchard. They were lighting up the night. Pritchard had 43, Derek White had 41. Both career highs. Then Pritchard had 10 threes, White had nine. So in the history of the Boston Celtics, they're the first duo in Celtics history to score at least 40 points in the same game. Minnesota had 21 three pointers as they beat the Hornets. Boy, the Hornets are terrible. I mean, when they lose, they always lose by double digits. It feels like Shea Gilgis Alexander mvp. It should be sgamvp. Let's get that started because it's going to happen. He had 41, so he's had 30 or more points 90 times since the start of last season. Next closest with that stat is Giannis with 72. Also, Cabs beat the Heat. They're the first NBA team to qualify for a playoff spot so far. They won 12 in a row. This is the third time this season they've had a winning streak of at least 12 games. I don't know if I like this song. This Version of Stat of the day. I think if the vocals were a little stronger there, that would help. But, Seaton, how about you? Are you picking up the vibe off this Stat of the day song? Okay, so. Well, that one, I really like. That one that we just played. Okay. And the other one that we played, too, I think is really good. However, as I've said before, I'm down on all of these new Stat of the Day. Really. I am. I am. I'm down on them. It's no offense to these submitters, but I'm. I'm down on the whole thing. Yeah. But I like to welcome our audience in. Yeah, I like to welcome them in, too. And just in other areas. Not in that one. But we were good with the Meet Friday songs. Yes, we were. Those were a lot of fun. They were. Those were fun cover songs of things that we all knew. And we were like, oh, my gosh, listen, he's doing, you know, your hamburgers are a wonderland. Like, that's really. These are all originals. Well, it's not. It's just out of the day. Stat of the day. Yeah. It's just not okay. It's just not for me. I'm sorry. Didn't two days try to do a Stat of the day? Do I have that correct? That two days recorded because two A days tried out for American Idol and it didn't go well. You know, he did a. Who stats do you want? Oh, he did, yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah. We had the Meat Friday songs. We had Whose stats do you want? Those are all listeners submitted. Those were a lot of fun. Those were great. Well, I'm just saying to the audience, I want to welcome you in, and if you want to contribute in any way, I'm happy for it. I'm open to that. Yes, Paul? I was thinking about a Meat Friday song just the other day, because it's been in my head on and off for years. Because it's so clever, I think. Don't stop meat eating meat cooking in a smoky room the smell of sauce and meat perfume I can't wait to take another bite the taste goes on and on and on and on Working hard to get my fill I can taste that sweet meat still don't want pasta don't want rice Meat Just one more time don't stop me where is it? Feeling Traeger, Steve Perry. I can hear that. Yes. See, that's brilliant. That is fantastic content. I absolutely love that. That was great. See? How about Jasmine in Montana? Hi, Jazz. What's on your mind? Hi, Dan. I just was wondering, I. Were you asking about the basketball questions, like the best duo? And what popped in my mind was I know they didn't probably play a lot together, but what do you feel about, like, Steve Nash and Kobe Bryant? When they were playing together, Steve was nowhere near MVP quality. But if I go down through history, you know, Shaq and Kobe, I'll take my chances against anybody but those two, you know, yeah, Pippen and Jordan. But if you said it's Kobe, Shaq versus Pippen and Jordan, a two on two game, I'll take Shaq and Kobe. I will. And, you know, I, I find this interesting how the media is trying to say nice things about LeBron without getting to the point where they say LeBron's the best player of all time because he's got all the stats and if he would win another title. You know, once again, you're going against, for some people, your childhood or when you were first starting out your career, you hadn't seen anything like this. It's the first man on the moon. So everybody has this thought, image opinion of Michael Jordan. And you have your opinion with LeBron James. And I also find this interesting. It feels like it's open warfare, open fire on LeBron. I don't remember any players being critical of Michael Jordan when he played. But you have players now, analysts now, who have no problem being critical of LeBron James. Now, it could be for a variety of things. I don't know how you could be critical of him, the way he's playing. There were analysts who were critical of him, saying, you know, about being the face of the NBA, that Anthony Edwards didn't want to be the face. LeBron openly embraced it. He wanted, he grabbed 23 like he wanted. He called himself the chosen one. He was King James. He wanted it. But it feels like you can criticize LeBron, but I don't remember anybody criticizing Michael Jordan now. They criticize things off the floor. You might have criticized him because of how he treated some of his teammates. You could criticize him for punching Steve Kerr. You could do all of those things. But I don't remember analysts being critical of Michael Jordan, the player. LeBron, remember, he doesn't want to take the big shot. He's afraid, you know, bouncing around all these teams, can't win a title in Cleveland. He's got to go to Miami. Like all of these things, it just feels like it was, you know, open season on LeBron. Yes, yes, Martin. But do you think Jordan would have been criticized more if we had as much sports content as we do now. Because back then, how many outlets did you really have? You might, may have had Peter Vessey come in on the NBA, on NBC, but really that was it. There wasn't any daily sports shows saying, you know, is he better than Bird and Magic and you know, et cetera, et cetera. But you usually have a contrarian, a columnist. But nobody in Chicago was doing that. They weren't critical of Mike. I mean, there was a fascination with Michael. There's not that fascination with LeBron, which there should be. But you're right. No social media. But the social media would have been things about Michael the person, not the basketball player. LeBron. It feels like it's about LeBron the basketball player. Yes, Paulie, it does feel like the Michael Jordan was not a good guy stuff didn't really come out till at the end or after his career with documentaries and people comfortable talking about it because he was out of the league. Well, it's, it's the same thing with Tiger. Nobody was critical of Tiger until you could be critical. And then all of a sudden people started to have opinions. Nobody's really critical of Michael. You're careful of doing that. I mean, even now players who, it's almost like they don't want to upset Mike. Yes, Marvin. I think maybe the book the Jordan Rules came out and it was never about Michael Jordan the basketball player, because he felt invincible as a basketball player. Maybe to 8 year old Marvin. But other than that, it was really judging him as a person and how he treated other people in that book. Yeah, yeah, the Jordan Rules was a big, that was a big deal. When that came out, you're like, whoa, okay, yeah, Paul. But you can make the case if even if Michael Jordan had all the media around him, there was no part of his game he didn't have at the time. I, I know he won defensive player of the year once. He was always in the top five scoring title, like eight of them. See, I don't, I, I would just say his game, his game was critical of him as a defensive player. They knew if Mike wanted to shut you down, he'd be the best defensive player in the game. Right? Like Steph Curry can't be the best defensive player in the game. Remember when, you know, they, they talked about Joker can't play defense, that that was a knock on him. When's the last time somebody said Steph Curry can't play defense? Like it's all silly, like you pick and choose. Frank Thomas won the MVP and he was a terrible first baseman. I don't know if it mattered. But then, you know, they'll pick and choose and all of a sudden somebody's not a two way player or oh, he's not playing in the field, he's just a dh. Well, there are guys who are in the field who are detriment to their teams, but you know, we kind of just pick and choose what Michael could do whatever he wanted to do. If he wanted to be the best defensive player in the game, he would have been the best defensive player, no questions. But he was also asked to score 35 a night. Nobody ever said, does Iverson play defense? But you know what we hear at Barkley says, as long as Larry Bird's in the NBA, I won't be the worst defensive player. I don't remember anybody saying anything about Allen Iverson's defense, do you? No. Steph Curry? No. But then you'll get, oh, Joker doesn't play defense. I don't know. He gets defensive rebounds. That's part of the defense. I don't know. Yes, Barf. In NBA circles, we fight eras like eras go against each other all the time. And a lot of times with Michael Jordan, people are holding on. Like you just said, nostalgia is the thing that's really keeping guys away from, you know, letting LeBron be, you know, titled the Goat. Yeah, but the people who don't, they, they, they can be critical of LeBron and it, it doesn't feel like that's a big deal where they were never critical of Michael Jordan. He is Jim Jackson joining us on the program. Jim, thanks for joining us. How you doing today? Thank you. I'm good, man. Sorry about that, man. West coast time got me all messed up, man. No worries. Hey, we got a big, we got a big W last night with the Clips. I was still celebrating. Yeah, James Harden, James Harden goes for 50. Yeah. You know, it was one of those games, excuse me, where we didn't know what to expect coming off a tough loss against Phoenix. Up 20, 23, Kevin Durant. Booker kind of did that thing in the third, fourth quarter and no Kawhi, but James dug deep, man. I mean, 38 plus minutes again. And the role players played well. Bogdanovich really started to fit into a role and it's tough, Dan, as you know, trade deadline, integrating new faces, kind of, you know, Drew Eubanks is in there, Patty Mills. It's, it's, it's a little bit different, but it was a, it was a great overall victory. Needed it for a team that wants to stay above that cut line at 6 for the upcoming playoffs. Best duo in the NBA right now is Luka and LeBron, which is, which is scary, I mean, because Luca is starting to fit in and trying to figure it out. And LeBron is acquiescing to allowing him to now initiate the offense, handle the ball, and it's only going to get better. And I think the biggest probably beneficiary probably is Jackson Hayes, because now you have two playmakers that are able to track defense, lob it to the rim, give you some other opportunities. So I think that team is in the west because of what's happened with Minnesota. I think Memphis is going to have some little bit of issues going down the stretch that the Lakers put themselves in primetime position to be a threat to okc. We were talking about it seems to be open season on LeBron analyst broadcasters have no problem being critical of LeBron. And I said, you know, granted, no social media with Michael Jordan, but yeah, let's say this was reversed. Let's say LeBron came before Michael Jordan. Would we be holding on to LeBron the way a lot of people hold on to Michael? That LeBron all time leading score, like all the numbers that he has, and then Mike comes along and wins six titles in the first 13 years. Would we be so quick to say Mike is now better than LeBron if it was reversed? That's a great question because you know the narrative around LeBron, it's very interesting because. Well, let me say this. I think we're critical in today's world on a lot of stuff, depending on who we like and what we prefer. And it depends on too. It's, I think it's, it's not only LeBron and the basketball side, it's other things outside of basketball. Okay, the whole Miami issue, when he chose to go down to Miami, when it was to cleave back to Cleveland, now to la, all that plays into more than just basketball. Mike did the same thing and we just. On LeBron just being with Chicago, then at the end of the year, he unretired and came back and went to Washington. I think we would judge it the same kind of way. If LeBron had Jordan's mentality back in the day and Mike had LeBron with regards to playing more like a Magic, I think we would do that. And that's the unfortunate part, is that to me, greatness only comes along so often. We've been blessed. A Tom Brady, a Tiger Woods, a Wayne Gretzky, a Michael Jordan. Now we see a LeBron James, a Steph Curry, guys like this don't come along, but when they do in today's world. But we did it with Mike though they did it with Mike early in his career. They really nitpicked that Mike a lot about he's not able to win a championship the way he plays. Let's not forget that. Now, I wasn't blasted across mainstream news as much because we, we had newspapers, we had talk shows, but not a plethora of talk shows. Radio wise Sports center was kind of the main entity with regards to how we got our information and downloaded sports. So he was criticized, but it was all relative to that era. LeBron is criticized relative to his era, which is social media and all the other platforms, individually, collectively and as a corporations. And that's why we get all of this, I think backlash for or towards him. Talking to Jim Jackson, Fox, Turner, NBA college basketball analyst clips, and the Knicks coming up tomorrow night. Also usc, UCLA coming up on Saturday. It's still hard to explain Steph Curry because, you know, if you never saw him, and I would say, all right, there's this guy, it might be six, three, not necessarily fast, I don't know, maybe quick, not a great jumper. But he's the greatest shooter in the history of the game. Like somebody would go, there's no way, no way, no way, no way. It's. What's the one thing that we should really. Let's say you're a younger player, right? What should you focus on with Steph Curry? That if you want to be able to shoot, not like him, but you want to be able to be a really good shooter or, you know, get your shot off. His footwork, his footwork is phenomenal for how much he moves because it's different when you have the ball in your hand. You can rhythm, dribble, get your feet set, create some space and shoot. But how much he moves, whether that's in transition, in half court, off of picks. So it's fundamental things to me. One, his footwork and how he squares his body up. Now he's gotten so good as a shooter, sometimes he can turn his right shoulder and it's pointing towards the rim. And a lot of times they don't teach you that. But as a shooter, he's become so much more comfortable with that. He can get away with it where a lot of players can't. Now, the form, the release, how he uses his legs, that's one thing. But his basic fundamentals of his footwork is phenomenal. Of how he can run fast, gather his feet, get him squared up, and then explode into a shot. To me, that's where the basis is at. And to your point, too, about Steph, think about this. I think the reason why he resonates so well is because he looks like anybody else can do it. Allah A Caitlyn Clark. The reason why Caitlyn and Steph are so much alike is because here are smaller individuals, not as athletic. They look like somebody walking down the street that just picks up a ball and goes. Goes play rec league, okay? But yet when they get on the court, they have this killer instinct. They have something different about them. And that's not saying that they're the best. Okay? That's not saying that they're the best, but they're the best at what they do. And that resonates with everyday people. And it's a reason why they're so popular. And they're really good people, too. So Steph is, again, one of my favorites ever to watch. And I had a chance to, when we played Golden State, the Clippers at home, to kind of just briefly talk to him before the game and just said, as a basketball fan and a former player, how much I appreciate what he's brought to the game, just from a pure basketball perspective, the fun, the love that he has and he shows and to continue to do it as long as he can, because I'm a big fan and I love to watch it. Final 30 seconds. You can have Steph Curry's career or Kevin Durant's. I'm taking steps. Oh, okay. Yeah. I mean, a little too quick there, I think, you know. No, because the scoring. I mean, Kevin Durant is one of my favorite players. I mean, unbelievable. But the way Steph has been able to get it done again, two different people, two different situations, two different organizations. @ the beginning, maybe if they would have kept OKC together, more championships, more continuity, it might be a different answer. But today, what Steph has been able to do and win with one team, that's what you want as a player, because that's your legacy with Golden State. And I'll take that in a heartbeat. Good to talk to you, as always. Thanks for making time. Always. All right. You got it, brother. That's Jim Jackson, Fox Turner. NBA. College basketball analysts will take a break. Last call for phone calls. What we learn, what's in store tomorrow right after this.

What we learn what's in store tomorrow and this day in sports history. Alrighty. I think I got to everything that I was planning on. Oh. Travis Kelsey on his New Heights podcast, talking about returning for one more season. The biggest thing is that I love playing the game of football. That's a good reason. I love playing. I still feel like I could play it at a high level and possibly at a higher level than I did last year. I don't think it was my best outing. I let my guys down in a lot more moments than I, than I helped them. Especially if you look at my track record and how I've been in years past. I just, you know, I, I want to give it a good run. I got a bad taste in my mouth on how I ended the year and, and how well I was playing and, you know, how accountable I was for the people around me. And I love so many people in Kansas City, that facility, in the community, and it's home for me now. I love it that he wants to come back. Nobody should tell you when to retire if you still have that desire and the ability, more importantly the ability to be able to play. It's just you get into this dangerous trap. I thought that if he won the super bowl, he would have retired. So you don't win the Super Bowl. He didn't play well and was he injured? Was he under the weather and now you want to come back because that left a bad taste in your mouth. Okay, can you have a scenario where you don't win the super bowl where you're satisfied and then you can walk away? That would be my one question. If Travis Kelsey came on. Give me the scenario. You don't win the super bowl, but you're, you're okay with walking away from the game? Yes. Marvin. What if he has a great individual game and they lose just by a small margin, like, say, do you think it would have been easy for him to maybe consider retiring if he had 10 catches for 150 yards and two touchdowns against the Eagles because he said I, I didn't play well? Yeah, well, it was we. It sure was. Yeah, sure, A lot of we. Not just you. But I don't know if, hey, I had a great game, you know, because Then you go, man, we were so close. I'd like to come back. I know how this works. It's really, really difficult to walk away. But we've seen guys who walk away and then come back. I mean, Lord, I was there for Sugar Ray Leonard's first retirement in Baltimore. He retired six times. Final results of the poll question. Seaton. Yeah, we got up there right now, the best duo in the NBA right now. Right now is. Well, LeBron and Luca have about 61% of that vote. Yep. Second place is Jokic Murray. Third place, Tatum Brown. Fourth place, Giannis Dame. Okay, those are all great duos, though. Yeah. Yeah. But it feels like, you know, I would put Tatum and Brown pretty close to Luca and LeBron. You surprised that they're in third, not second? Yeah, yeah. I mean, Jamal Murray can be great. I don't think he's a nightly great. And if we're talking duos, you know, the consistency is not always there. And look, Murray's come back from a terrible knee injury, played great in the NBA Finals, but I. I wouldn't have them second on that list. That might be a tribute to Joker, as good as he is this day in sports history. Paul, just one day. In 1983, the United States Football League began its first season with debut games. Quick quiz. Who led the league in rushing? Who led the league in passing? The debut season 83 of the USFL. Herschel Walker. Herschel Walker's correct. 412 carries for 1800 yards. He didn't win MVP, though. Kelvin Bryant, the running back of Philadelphia. The. I'll give you a hint. This guy did play in the NFL. He was a quarterback. Bobby A. Bear. Bobby A Bear is correct. Nice job. 27 touchdowns for Bobby Abare. He also played with New Orleans Saints. I was actually covering the New Jersey Generals back then. I was living in New York. Todd, what'd you learn today? If I asked you which Celtics teammates are the only ones to each score at least 40 points in the same game, you likely would not have said Peyton Pritchard and Derek White. Seaton, what did you learn today? Mike Florio's had some interactions. Yeah. He said that dirt cutter and him had some words before. Yeah, maybe you're not doing your job if you don't have a run in with somebody you know somewhere along the way. Marvin, what did you learn today? A caller compared me to Sheldon Cooper from the Big Bang Theory. Yeah. Yeah. Jim Parsons. You're a brainiac. Only in sports, though. Yeah. Paul, would you learn today? Bobby Abear mentioned today Todd, what did I learn? Jim Jackson says KG is one of his favorite players, but he'd rather have Steph Curry's NBA career. Yeah, I'd rather be the greatest shooter of all time. No, that's pretty good. When you start out your resume with that, can you give me career accomplishments? Greatest shooter of all time. Okay.
