Spike Lee
Show on Fox Sports Radio. Ray Allen, hall of Famer and two time NBA champ joining us on the program. You put up all those numbers in Seattle. You spent five years in Seattle, correct?
- [03:19]
Ray Allen
Yep.
- [03:20]
Spike Lee
Okay. Are those numbers now attached to the Oklahoma City Thunder since the supersonics went to okc? Like, could your jersey number be retired by OKC based off what you did in Seattle?
- [03:34]
Ray Allen
Technically, I think it could be, but I think for tradition speaking, you know, typically you raise a banner or jersey in a place that is kind of familiar to that city and, and nobody in Oklahoma City really had ever watched me play in that city. So I don't think. And it's a ownership mandate as well, so I don't think that would ever happen.
- [04:01]
Spike Lee
Is there a building where your jersey is up in the rafters in Seattle?
- [04:09]
Ray Allen
Yeah, in Karena.
- [04:10]
Spike Lee
Okay.
- [04:11]
Ray Allen
It would, I would say possibly, but it's Kia Rena. I don't think. I don't even know what they use it for anymore.
- [04:18]
Spike Lee
Okay, here's a couple things I want to talk to you about. The Celtics keep shooting threes the other night.
- [04:23]
Ray Allen
Yeah.
- [04:23]
Spike Lee
Now you had a game, I think you went over 13 from 3 point range. But as a great shooter, you're told to keep shooting. But at what point do you stop shooting threes? If you're the Celtics the other night or do you stop shooting threes?
- [04:41]
Ray Allen
Well, the other night I think The Celtics shot 60 threes and they were shooting them at points when the Knicks kept kind of plugging away. And they were plugging away and they were playing, they were playing tougher. They were getting tougher buckets. The Knicks were obviously. Brunson was getting so many mid range shots, so he had a great offensive rhythm. I don't think the Celtics ever built their rhythm offensively. Now they take a lot of threes early and they take them throughout the game and when they're going, because you got multiple guys that shoot threes and shoot them well. But if you never build a rhythm, you know, get into the basket, get into the free throw line, to the mid range game. That's kind of where there was a hole in that game for the Celtics the other night. So to answer your question, they got to figure out getting some easy buckets, you know, just kind of establishing rhythm as opposed to just kind of let it fly consistently. Because it's the playoffs. It changes a lot because now those shots become smaller opportunities and they're shooting quicker and it's important for them to try to figure out a way to, to get some rhythm stuff. Starting the game early.
- [05:52]
Spike Lee
Yeah, I just thought, you know, go inside, get fouled, go to the free throw line, get. Let's, let's break up all this and just get something there. That's what was surprising. But the analytics say, I think to keep shooting the threes, don't they?
- [06:07]
Ray Allen
Well, obviously, because threes are more than twos, and that's what everybody says, you keep shooting them and they've been highly successful at it. So it's hard to stop what you've been doing and what's made you successful this whole year. But you have to take into account that the game does slow down a little bit more in the playoffs. And you're, you're putting so much pressure on Tatum. He makes a lot of tough threes. Jalen went to the basket and got a layup at one point during, during that fourth quarter. And I was like, okay, that. Steady the offense a little bit. And you see him, you want him to drive. Because you look at the Knicks defense, you know, there's a lot of holes in their defense if you just drive. There's a couple of times where even Derrick White had the ball in the paint and he, the basket was behind him and he's looking out toward the perimeter as opposed to just turn around and get something easy. And it is, hopefully, you know, they'll look at the film and, you know, I'm sure Missoula will say, these are just shots that we missed. You know, we're all capable of making these shots. But to make it easier on yourself, you know, it's hard in a playoff situation because you know, you can make those shots. So I just think to start the game tonight, they have to make sure that they, they get to the free throw line early and establish something in the paint from the standpoint of driving and getting some easy stuff. Because as a shooter, I'll tell you, I did not want to start a game shooting the three because if you miss, then you start pressing and you start pressing. I didn't want to have to feel like I was pressing in Boston. We had so many good players that score. So I want to make sure I got to the basket early if I could.
- [07:42]
Spike Lee
Talking to Ray Allen, former three point shooting contest winner back in 2001. Do you practice missing free throws? We saw that with Tyrese Halliburton because you know he's got to miss the free throw, but you got to miss it correctly to get a chance. Do you practice missing free throws?
- [08:01]
Ray Allen
Well, I mean, it sounds funny, but you know how to miss dog and, and it's just kind of being off and obviously you're looking to who your best rebounder is on what side. So, yeah, there is some precision to being able to miss a free throw. I, I can't say that I practiced it, but I definitely know how to aim up there and get it to bounce on one side or the other.
- [08:24]
Spike Lee
Well, you did practice making them, though. You did a really good job at that.
- [08:28]
Ray Allen
I did. I did. I was pretty good at it.
- [08:31]
Spike Lee
Yeah. But I never understood that. Explain to me what happens when guys go to the free throw line and all of a sudden they, they free. They, you know, they, they're. It's not fluid. They like, everything slows. You know, it stops. Maybe that's what it is. Guys are used to moving now. All of a sudden it stops. But the mind games that go on with these guys who can't shoot free throws.
- [08:53]
Ray Allen
Well, it's similar when you think about golf. When you stand to the tee box and, and they call your name and they say where you're from, all these accolades, and all of a sudden they, Everybody's quiet. I was like, oh, keep making noise. I'm comfortable in noise. You know, don't be quiet. I think what people, and I say this a lot with free throws. People don't understand how emotional a free throw is. You know, you think about a guy going to the free throw line, and emotion don't always mean anger, but your, your adrenaline is pumping. You just got knocked on your butt. You know, you're either down to, or you're up to. You just dunked on somebody. All these emotions are inside of you. And for most players, imagine a situation in practice where you practice those emotions. It's hard to practice feeling competitive, to practice feeling angry, to practice feeling anxious, practice feeling desperate. How do you do that in the gym by yourself? And so you have to figure out a way when you practice to take that quiet gym and make yourself tired, make yourself mad, make yourself excited. Because that feeling you have to get used to in a game. And a lot of times then when they get into a game situation, it's a foreign situation for them when they go to that free throw line. Because think about, you take somebody like, like Pritchard, you know, great shooter, had a great year, but how often is he at the free throw line in the fourth quarter if it's not Tatum or Brown?
- [10:23]
Spike Lee
Yeah.
- [10:24]
Ray Allen
So now he goes to free throw line because it gets fouled. It's sometimes it's, it's a foreign circumstance or situation for a lot of players. And, and that's why you do get nervous because it's like, I, I, I'm not used to this and I got to get used to, I got, I got to be better at figuring out the situation.
- [10:42]
Spike Lee
One thing that drives me crazy and I'm sure I drive my audience crazy because I bring it up all the time. I never want the best player to beat me. Never. I'm always going to send another guy. I got to get the ball out of your hands. I want somebody who's not used to taking that shot. And if that guy beats me, I live with that. It's like, you know, when Jordan beats Brian Russell, they don't send another guy and I got to get the ball out of his hands. Right. Like, I don't help me understand that if Jalen Brunson has the ball, I'm going to double, I'm going to get the ball out of his hands. I have to do that. But why don't more coaches do that?
- [11:18]
Ray Allen
Well, I think it's a double edged sword because when you want, you don't want the best player to beat you, there's some scenarios, some playoff situations you kind of walk into and you, you say he's going to get his 40, but we can't let these other guys get off, you know, so it is each situation from, from series to series, you know, what are you dealing with? Like if you look at Indiana, you got nesmith that had 23 and, and Turner had 23 and Nemhard had.
- [11:50]
Spike Lee
Yeah, but this is the last shot though. This is the last shot. That's all I'm talking about. Even Halliburton has the ball. That's the guy I know who wants the ball. I have to send another guy his way. I'm not going to let him beat me. And they gave him, you know, he created space.
- [12:07]
Ray Allen
It was a tough shot though.
- [12:08]
Spike Lee
But he, I know, but he's only, it's, it's, he's got single Coverage on it.
- [12:12]
Ray Allen
Yeah. I mean, you. It's always. We can be perfect defensively as a. As a scheme, you know, going to the game. But we always say, good offense, better defense or good defense, better offense. I'm sorry, you. You. We. We're playing a scheme a certain way, and then a guy makes a tough shot over the top of of us, we have to shake their hand because this league is fold filled with great offensive players. So it can, like I said, it can go either way. You know, we'll run two at a guy because he got hot. Say if a guy has 40 plus, you know, I don't know. Halliburton only had 19 points last night, so it wasn't like he was cooking.
- [12:50]
Spike Lee
But he's a closer.
- [12:53]
Ray Allen
Yeah, but you. You just kind of. You. You live with those odds. Because if you look at defenses and you look at all these. These playoff games, the one thing that you find fascinating is there. There's. There's no paint presence.
- [13:06]
Spike Lee
Yeah.
- [13:07]
Ray Allen
Last night, I don't know who. I don't remember. It was Draymond Green. He came straight down the lane and dunked it. And there was no awareness from Minnesota whatsoever. And that's the one thing in playoff basketball that you kind of, you know, you fortify your defense with a paint presence and you work from inside out. And you see that consistently because, you know, so many teams are shooting threes. And then you look at the ball, the way the ball bounced, you know, against, against with the Golden State, and you see how many rebounds they got. And Minnesota's the bigger team. You know, you think about how many rebounds they didn't get. Gobert had 11, and I think Anthony had 14 or somewhere around there. But those balls are bounded so long, so it's spreading the defense out. And then you're trying to figure out what we try to do. On most teams I played on, we tried to keep our big guy in the paint. You know, we rotated. We're playing man to man. So if it was myself and kg, I tried to stay up top and you stayed low. So if somebody did drive, they had to see him. And right now, you just don't see that. That fortification of the painting. There's so many holes right now in their defense. So that's ultimately a system where it's built around team shooting threes.
- [14:19]
Spike Lee
What's your favorite pair of shoes behind you?
- [14:23]
Ray Allen
My favorite pair. I'd have to go up. I'd have to go up. 1, 2, 3, 4. If I can show you.
- [14:30]
Spike Lee
Oh, my goodness. You got A whole wall.
- [14:34]
Ray Allen
This one right here.
- [14:37]
Spike Lee
Okay.
- [14:38]
Ray Allen
Number four.
- [14:39]
Spike Lee
So those are. How many of those are air Jordans?
- [14:44]
Ray Allen
They're 1 through 30.
- [14:50]
Spike Lee
Mike, sign any shoes that you have?
- [14:53]
Ray Allen
No.
- [14:56]
Spike Lee
You wouldn't ask him.
- [15:00]
Ray Allen
I haven't. Like, I have a jersey hanging on my wall, and I play golf with him regularly. I wouldn't ask him, but I think at some point I should here in the future, just. Just for keepsake. Just have momentum. And I know he would if I asked him, but. But I thought about it, but I haven't done it yet.
- [15:18]
Spike Lee
Okay, but if you have them in the back of the golf cart, and then, you know, Mike probably sees them, and then you go, oh, God, yeah, sorry. I thought I was going to leave these in the car. And then you have a Sharpie attached to it. Then all of a sudden, see that.
- [15:37]
Ray Allen
I'm a vet right here. DP that's like the rookie move to do that. If somebody did that to me, I'd be looking at, like, really? Really, dude.
- [15:46]
Spike Lee
Okay.
- [15:47]
Ray Allen
Left it with the Sharpie on the. On taped up to it.
- [15:50]
Spike Lee
Okay, what if you send somebody that you guys. Guys used to do this, where you'd send the clubhouse guy over to get something signed by somebody in the other locker room. Right? Okay.
- [16:02]
Ray Allen
Yeah, we did that. Did I tell you a story? One time when I was playing in Milwaukee, I was always early, and the bus wasn't there yet, so I took the cab over, and I'm sitting in the locker room. So our equipment manager didn't get our gear out yet. So I'm sitting in the locker room, and I'm antsy, trying to get on the court. And, you know, the United center was always freezing, so you wanted to come, like, bundled. So I'm sitting there, and the equipment guy from the Bulls comes to the locker room. He goes, you guys didn't get here yet? I said, no, they're not here. I'm just waiting on them. He goes, mike's on. On the other side. You know, he has some stuff. Maybe you want to ask him. And I was like, really? And he's like, yeah, but you got to ask him. You got to go in there and ask him. And, you know, this was. I'm probably like, three years in the league. And I'm like, ask. Go over there and ask. I was like, can you ask for him? He goes, no, you got to go ask him. And so I went in there, and I. I was like, mike, you think I could borrow a pair of shoes? And I'm already wearing the shoes anyway. I'm under contract. And he's like, sure kid, you know. And in the, in the Hall, I walked in, cabinet full of Jordans, just like all the way down there, all the shoes. That was cool.
- [17:08]
Spike Lee
Where are those shoes?
- [17:10]
Ray Allen
I don't know, they're somewhere floating. I got so many shoes like tucked everywhere.
- [17:15]
Spike Lee
We brought this up yesterday. The hall looked very good. Like the guys that you played against or with, like Jamal Crawford in the hall of Very Good. Not a Hall of Famer, but you know, hall of Very Good. Who would you put in there? Maybe you played against, you know, contemporaries where you go, that guy should be in the hall of Very Good. Not hall of Famer, but hall of.
- [17:35]
Ray Allen
Very Good that I played with. I would definitely say two players that just, you know, one in particular that would kill the game today is then Baker. Okay, he, this, he, he was around the basket. I don't think anybody could stop him. And he still could shoot, you know, on the perimeter. He would be really good in today's game. And, and obviously, you know, these are two guys that I played with my rookie year and Glenn Robinson and you know, arguably one of the, the greatest college players of all time. And I think they don't get their, their, their credit, but they were incredible scorers and when I watched, nobody could stop them, you know, so they were good and they just ended up not being on teams once they left Milwaukee where they had any semblance of success. But I thought they were incredible. And so you look at the game today, we don't have those, you know, you talk about those mid range players, those great pick and roll players. Think about Terrell Brandon. He, he was dubbed best point guard in the world. Sports Illustrated like this, he was, he was split a pick and roll. His mid range game, he was automatic. And I learned a lot from him. You know, just playing with those three guys helped my game tremendously. And we don't have that, that skill level right now in the NBA because of the overuse of the three ball.
- [19:02]
Spike Lee
Yeah, I still keep, I can't get it out of my mind that you're wearing Michael Jordan shoes playing against Michael Jordan.
- [19:11]
Ray Allen
Well, just remember my, my second game in the NBA. My first game was Minnesota Timberwolves in preseason. And the second one and I seen the schedule. So I was still in my college apartment when I got the schedule and October 15, 1993, Chicago Bulls, United center. And I'm sitting there, I still got poster of him on my wall right here in my, in my room. And I'm like, I'm about to play against Michael Jordan. So I'm. I'm wearing his shoes on October 15th. I'm stretching, and then I hear the whole introduction. And, you know, I'm used to being on the other side, looking at the tv, watching all this stuff happen. And now I'm like, wow, this is so crazy. I'm inside the TV right now, and then I'm sitting here on the ground stretching, and I'm doing this, and I'm just kind of. And I see the Bulls run out, and he's the last one, and I just. I couldn't believe it. You know, just as much as I've watched him and kind of, like, studied his game and he.
- [20:11]
Spike Lee
He.
- [20:12]
Ray Allen
He was kind of. He was such a big role model then. Being on the same floor with him, it was just unbelievable.
- [20:17]
Spike Lee
Did he talk trash to you?
- [20:19]
Ray Allen
No, but at jump ball, he walks over to me and he said, welcome to the NBA, Ray. Like, you just don't understand, like, this, man. He's. He's. You know, to be great, you also have to be intelligent. You know, you can't walk around and be oblivious to the things around you. So he knows everybody who's playing against. You study your opponents. You watch the draft. You know who's young and coming to league. And so as us young players, we're so naive to that idea. You start to realize how much you have to immerse yourself in this game, and you have to know every player in the league. You can't just think that, oh, I'm the best player. I don't care about anybody. You really have to study this game and who's in it.

I don't know about Jesus form, though, Ray.
- [21:20]

Vince Vaughn, actor, producer, director, writer, comedian, New Netflix film known as and it'll come out tomorrow on Netflix. So he plays a guy who opens up an Italian restaurant and features local grandmothers. He just lost his mother and he brings them in. So you got Lorraine Bracco, Brenda Vaccaro, Susan Sarandon, Talia Shire. They play the Nonas. And you got Vince Vaughn, who's running the restaurant. Vince joins us on the program. How'd you, how'd you decide on this or come across this idea?
- [26:46]
Vince Vaughn
How you doing, Dan? Good to be with you. You know, I got the script. The director, Stephen Chbosky directed that movie Wonder, which I liked. When I saw the script and read it and knew it was based on a true story, I just thought it was very unique. You know, this guy opens a restaurant for these older women that have been a little forgotten or maybe not given as much opportunities to be productive. And he was mourning the loss of his own family members. So in a way he was trying to create family connection. And I thought the story was just very moving. And then meeting the guy, he was so refreshing because it was really about giving these Nona's this opportunity more than he had a business plan, more than he was looking to expand it. He was really just sort of looking to create great nights, great atmospheres in this restaurant.
- [27:34]
Spike Lee
I'm guessing. Laughs but I'm guessing maybe some tears in this.
- [27:39]
Vince Vaughn
You're not wrong as always. Patrick. You're right there near the bullseye.
- [27:44]
Spike Lee
Do you cry early?
- [27:45]
Vince Vaughn
Do you. There's definitely some comedy in it, but, but it's a, it's, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's a feel good, I would say, but it definitely deals with, with sort of, you know, morning.
- [27:56]
Spike Lee
All right. But you know, you're going to provide. It'll be light hearted as well. I just want to make sure that, you know, I, I'm prepared for this. I want to go in knowing kind of what the parameters are emotionally.
- [28:08]
Vince Vaughn
Yeah, you know, there's definitely some laughs. The actresses are phenomenal. The, all the, the great actors that you, that you mentioned are terrific and they all really shine in the movie. And the, that one's got good chemistry. It's fun, the movie. You know, this director is very good. Did you see Wonder?
- [28:22]
Spike Lee
I did not.
- [28:24]
Vince Vaughn
Yeah. Well, you got one on the list. There's a few. And now you got another one.
- [28:27]
Spike Lee
All right.
- [28:28]
Vince Vaughn
And he's very good. He's very good.
- [28:30]
Spike Lee
I, I was in a movie with Susan Sarandon.
- [28:34]
Vince Vaughn
That's, that's correct.
- [28:37]
Spike Lee
Did you know.
- [28:38]
Vince Vaughn
It's very nice. She's a lovely lady.
- [28:39]
Spike Lee
Did she.
- [28:39]
Vince Vaughn
Very lovely.
- [28:40]
Spike Lee
I know she is, but did you know I was, I, I might say co starred, but I was in a movie with Susan Saranda.
- [28:46]
Vince Vaughn
Which, which, which movie?
- [28:48]
Spike Lee
That's my boy. Did you see it?
- [28:51]
Vince Vaughn
Is that the one with Sandler?
- [28:52]
Spike Lee
Yeah.
- [28:53]
Vince Vaughn
Fantastic.
- [28:57]
Spike Lee
I was so good. You probably didn't know it was me.
- [29:00]
Vince Vaughn
But you dazzled a few times. Well, you dazzled a few times.
- [29:04]
Spike Lee
Yeah, I know. How do you. How do friends politely ask you to be in a movie? Okay. Is there, Is there?
- [29:13]
Vince Vaughn
I mean, I have had that happen to me where people. It's. It's challenging, but it depends. You know, most people. Sometimes people are just like looking to get their movie made. And so they're just sort of like in this mode where they're kind of just going, for me, if it's a very close friend, obviously I'll take it seriously. But if it's kind of an acquaintance, it's an awkward experience. I'm sure you get that in versions of that as well.
- [29:37]
Spike Lee
I do. And I've tried to reach out to Will Ferrell and I don't know how to do it to say I kind of like to be in a movie. So I basically called him out on radio, but I haven't. I've got radio silence here from him I haven't heard back from.
- [29:52]
Vince Vaughn
How did that go?
- [29:52]
Spike Lee
It didn't go well. It did not go well.
- [29:54]
Vince Vaughn
It didn't go well. You know what? I think now that it's out there, can only get better from heal. The healing is going to start because you've addressed it.
- [30:01]
Spike Lee
Well, he did say that I belong to Sandler. And I said, look, I'm willing to see other. I'm willing to see other people, you know, behind Sandler's back.
- [30:13]
Vince Vaughn
That hurt feelings. He was carrying his own conversation you weren't aware of. And that makes sense. Then maybe he felt. Maybe he felt a little shunned. So I think sunlight is always a great remedy. So I don't think there's anything bad that can come out of this conversation between two friends. And I wouldn't be shocked to see you in him doing something and maybe Adam in it as well.
- [30:34]
Spike Lee
Well, I did say to Sandler a, you know, maybe get Will Ferrell in a movie. Then therefore I can then be around Will. Then I can pitch something. But, you know, maybe, maybe, maybe there's a sequel there to one of the movies that he was in. And I keep hearing you have a hat trick.
- [30:50]
Vince Vaughn
You have the hat trick of the three of you.
- [30:51]
Spike Lee
That would be great. Yeah, yeah. Dodgeball two Rumblings.
- [30:58]
Vince Vaughn
There's been rumblings. Yeah, I think there's a script that's actually, you know, an idea that's pretty good. So, you know, you always. With all these ones, there's always the want, but you really want the story to stand on its own. But I do think the dodgeball one's a pretty good idea. I just did a movie for, for Fox called Mike, Nick, Nick and Alice with Marsden, with James Marsden, which is a kind of an action comedy. And so you never know. Maybe. But why is it Bad Monkey? I'm gonna do Bad Monkey next here, starting in September, the second season of the Apple Show. So it'll be a little ways away if it's something that materializes.
- [31:34]
Spike Lee
I like the character in Bad Monkey.
- [31:37]
Vince Vaughn
Yeah, it's a fun. Bill Lawrence is great, as you know. I love Bill and that was fun.
- [31:41]
Spike Lee
Good, good group talking to Vince Vaughn. The new Netflix film, it's Nona's and it comes out tomorrow, where Vince plays the owner of an Italian restaurant and he's lost his mother, so he brings in local grandmothers and Lorraine Bracco, Brenda Vicaro, Susan Sarandon and Talia Shire. How's your sports teams in Chicago?
- [32:03]
Vince Vaughn
What do you think of this draft? It's, it's unknowing at this point. Right. Did you like the, did you like the tight end? Did you like. Yeah, Loveland there in the first. You did?
- [32:12]
Spike Lee
Yeah, Yeah. I thought that he was good and I thought the Bears were going to be a playoff team last year. So I'm going to double down and say they're going to be a playoff team this year.
- [32:26]
Vince Vaughn
You know, when you look at it, they lost a handful of games, all in heartbreak style. And I got to share, Dan. It's been a tough recruit to get my son on board. So there was a pivotal moment in this experiment where we were watching the Redskins game and the Bears were obviously winning with the game looking like it was in hand, in some desperation. And when that tip happened and the Redskins caught the ball, you had a, you had a 10 year old boy go straight to his room. He was upset and he stayed there. So I figured, well, how do I handle this? I'll let him kind of write it out. So I would say a good 35, 40 minutes he came down and he had gathered his emotions and his thoughts and he was prepared. He had a, he had a statement to say, he had something to share. And he said, I can't trust this team. That's what he said to me. I cannot trust this team. I said, well, you're not wrong right now. I said, but, you know, it hasn't been a great run as of late. But I said, it'll be. That makes it, you know, all the better when they get there. But it's been a challenging recruiting process.
- [33:28]
Spike Lee
Yeah, but can he bail on the Bears? Are, would you allow him?
- [33:35]
Vince Vaughn
Yeah, I would, I would. I mean, he does root for a lot of the Los Angeles teams, but he does for the Bears. But I think that's right. You got to let them have their own experience. So you know what happens. I don't know if you experienced this. Sometimes they like to root against. If you're rooting for a team, they enjoy going for the opposite team, even with no connection to the team whatsoever. Just to be contrarian, did you ever have that with your kids?
- [33:59]
Spike Lee
I let them pick if they wanted it. And my son became a Boston Red Sox fan and a Green Bay Packer fan. And I didn't guide him. In fact, he came home, he was really young and he said, I've decided on my baseball team because we live in an area where you're a Yankee fan or a Red Sox fan. So he says, I've decided on my team and, you know, made a proclamation to the family. And I go, okay, what's it going to be? He goes, red Sox. I go, okay. I go out and buy him some gear, get him a hat.
- [34:31]
Vince Vaughn
That's great.
- [34:31]
Spike Lee
Get him a jacket. He wears the hat to school. And the Yankee fans grabbed it, put it in the urinal and peed on it.
- [34:40]
Vince Vaughn
Oh dear. Well, he learned about commitment, didn't he?
- [34:42]
Spike Lee
Well, my wife goes my way.
- [34:44]
Vince Vaughn
It wasn't, it wasn't an easy choice given the location. You got to respect the kid.
- [34:48]
Spike Lee
My, my wife couldn't understand it. I said, no, hun. Now you understand the rivalry. And yeah, so, you know, it was.
- [34:56]
Vince Vaughn
All that New York, Boston rivalry take place after the basketball game last night. Right.
- [35:02]
Spike Lee
Oh my God. Wild.
- [35:04]
Vince Vaughn
Crazy.
- [35:05]
Spike Lee
But do you go to many? Like if you go to New York or you go to the Lakers, do you go to Knicks games or Laker games?
- [35:12]
Vince Vaughn
I have, I went to a Lakers game this year. I like what Rob Polinka has done with the team and I like to go to the Garden. Who doesn't? So, yes, I've gone to both, but I was back and forth working quite a bit this last year. But I do, I do enjoy going to, I go to any. I really like going to different stadiums and, and going to see different teams. And you have the time I enjoy going. Where's your favorite place to watch a game? Any sport.
- [35:41]
Spike Lee
Home.
- [35:44]
Vince Vaughn
Oh, you prefer being home? You don't like it? You can't deal with the crowds. Yeah, I get it. You like the instant replay.
- [35:49]
Spike Lee
I just. I. It's just easier for me to do my job because I don't have the fan experience anymore. I don't root. Therefore, the best place for me to watch a game and still do my job is home.
- [36:03]
Vince Vaughn
Yeah, no, I get that. Especially as one. Yeah, I understand. Is there a storyline or a team or a fan recently that's kind of won you over and made you a fan, or that you were rooting to do well just because you enjoyed the storyline?
- [36:19]
Spike Lee
I think the Lions. I enjoy that storyline. It's. It's sort of the football equivalent of the Cubs, and I think that's. That's the next great story. But as you know, it's all about the story. You can have everything in place. But, you know, Spike Lee once said to me, in fact, this was when the Red Sox came back and beat the Yankees. He said, this is what I love about sports. It's unscripted. Like, you can't script certain sporting events. It just happens, and that's what makes it so magical.
- [36:48]
Vince Vaughn
Well, that's 100% right. You have all the emotions and desires, and it plays out in that moment. That's why live sports is still, you know, the calling for everyone to gather. It's still very cultural, and I agree with that. And, you know, as a Bears fan, I've been happy to see the Lions do well. You know, the gamble, the coach, and obviously the story with Goff has been great. And that whole team, it was surprising the way it ended this year. I was not expecting that.
- [37:18]
Spike Lee
If. So you were probably 13 or 14 when the Bears won the Super Bowl.
- [37:24]
Vince Vaughn
Yeah, I was. Yeah.
- [37:25]
Spike Lee
Okay.
- [37:26]
Vince Vaughn
Yeah.
- [37:26]
Spike Lee
Okay. So you're. You're just.
- [37:28]
Vince Vaughn
You look at Billy Sims highlight, by the way, one of the great highlights with him running on the face mask of defenders.
- [37:33]
Spike Lee
He jumped him, right? Yeah.
- [37:36]
Vince Vaughn
Remember Billy Sims? They would always cut to him and he sort of got traction and sort of ran over, I think a couple of players, like, literally ran on top of them.
- [37:44]
Spike Lee
That's a. It's an odd reference, but I was a big Billy Sims fan. But. But you're. You're a little older than what your son is now. He just needs to capture that magic that you had to make that magic, you know, put up with all of this.
- [37:58]
Vince Vaughn
The tragedy was when the Cubs won, which as you know, was like, no one could believe it a hundred years. So I had taken them. I had taken them back to Chicago for the World Series. I was. I. I sang at the seventh inning stretch for one of the games. So I brought both of my kids. And it was not. The impact on them was not what one would expect. You know, they had no reference point, they had no suffering. And so it was like, come the sixth inning, it could have been any game. They were very young, they were very tired.
- [38:28]
Spike Lee
They're ready to leave.
- [38:29]
Vince Vaughn
My idea of what. My idea of what this experience would be like did not translate in the moment.
- [38:34]
Spike Lee
Did you cry?
- [38:35]
Vince Vaughn
So they got that. And they got a little spoiled with the Blackhawks because they definitely won some cups when they were young. So, you know. But yeah, they like. They do like the we'll go to some Kings game. They root for the Kings, too. They like he roots for the local teams. And my daughter, they. They'll root for the Rams or the Chargers. So they haven't. I haven't had that. It's like you got that. That letter of declaration for like a college declare. We haven't got. I haven't gotten one singular one yet.
- [39:03]
Spike Lee
Did you cry when the Cubs won?
- [39:06]
Vince Vaughn
You know, when I saw. And I was with a bunch of people and it was a strange feeling. I don't know that if I. But it was more of a somber release than it was a jumping for joy. It was a. You couldn't believe it, you know, especially given what we just had gone through, you know, the last time we were close with, you know, the whole thing with the fan reaching for the ball, it was like you just couldn't. Now that you're in game seven, you were just waiting. And you know the tragedy of that. My dad's from Ohio. And the tragedy of that is the one team you beat is the. Is the Indians, who are the other team that you would. You would want to see get past that moment. So it made it even, you know, if you would have beaten the perennial powerhouse that always won. And don't get me wrong, I was thrilled that we won. But in being a Cubs fan and suffering for so long, it was lost on me that we were beating another team with a similar legacy.
- [40:07]
Spike Lee
You would have preferred the Yankees?
- [40:10]
Vince Vaughn
I can't say it was perfect the way it happened, but it would have been easier. I think it was just strange, isn't it? I mean, here's the. You know, Cleveland, which, you know, obviously, it's just a crazy, like someone's gonna break a streak. So it was just, it was just a weird pairing and now it's game seven. So, yeah, it was definitely more of a sigh of relief. Was I thrilled? Absolutely. But you're right, it was more that than I was, you know, kind of high fiving. It was definitely, you know, more of a release than it was just a jump up and down.
- [40:45]
Spike Lee
Will I be in known as two?
- [40:49]
Vince Vaughn
If there's a known as two and your dance card is available and as long as Adam knows about it, I think it's better we share it with him than not. Then I would say that this was the old Magic 8 Ball.
- [41:01]
Spike Lee
It says chances are good there's breaking news. If there is a known as two, I will be in it.
- [41:11]
Vince Vaughn
Yeah, if there's a notice two, we'll definitely have you in it. You could come to the restaurant and enjoy something. Yeah, I see that happening.
- [41:19]
Spike Lee
Okay. I like that. And now.
- [41:21]
Vince Vaughn
And I don't. And I like the. And the other gentleman should know that that's a healthy. That's how you do it. You don't bring baggage, you don't bring hurt. This is how, this is how gentlemen move forward with, with, with class.
- [41:33]
Spike Lee
Yeah, we're just grown ups. That's all this is. I'm. Yeah, that's all it is.
- [41:37]
Khloe Kardashian
Yeah.

Yeah. With the Pope. Yeah.
- [47:18]
Khloe Kardashian
Villanova alumni.
- [47:22]
Spike Lee
Is this a bigger win for Villanova than or then when Villanova won that last NCAA championship?
- [47:29]
Khloe Kardashian
Well, all I can say is. Well people, you know, people say we haven't won since the 7 to 73 season and if it takes a miracle to break the snide. I was at that the last Ron Shea stadium when that ball root rolled through buttoners. So I'll take anywhere you can get.
- [47:52]
Spike Lee
Can anything ease the pain of what happened in 04 in the ALCS for you with the Yankees and the Red Sox.
- [48:02]
Khloe Kardashian
Oh, and with when they came off a hit of a great reliever.
- [48:09]
Spike Lee
Yeah.
- [48:11]
Khloe Kardashian
What's the Dodge's manager He stole second base, right.
- [48:14]
Spike Lee
Dave Roberts.
- [48:15]
Khloe Kardashian
Yeah, Dave Roberts. I don't know, maybe that made up for Buckner.
- [48:23]
Spike Lee
But I remember talking to you when the Yankees were up 3:1 and I was doing SportsCenter.
- [48:30]
Ray Allen
Right.
- [48:30]
Spike Lee
And you were along the first baseline. Seats there. In the first baseline, you know, you go, who do you like? And I said, I like the Red Sox. Oh, I don't want to hear that. Next game, I see you. Who do you like? I said, I like the Red Sox. Oh, I don't want to hear that. Then you saw me the next time and you said, who do you like? I don't even want to hear it. You're going to tell me. The Red. So I said, I like the Red Sox. Did you ever get over that?
- [49:00]
Khloe Kardashian
Only when people like you remind me.
- [49:03]
Spike Lee
It's my job.
- [49:05]
Ray Allen
No, those are memories.
- [49:06]
Spike Lee
You.
- [49:06]
Khloe Kardashian
You want to.
- [49:07]
Spike Lee
Yeah.
- [49:08]
Khloe Kardashian
Flush, you know, you know, like the Reggie Miller. You know that. You know, you try. You try to. It comes up, though, but it's not. It's not the top of the head.
- [49:26]
Spike Lee
So when did you first learn to hate the Celtics?
- [49:32]
Khloe Kardashian
Is anything. I'm a New Yorker. That's. That's just. You learn that in kindergarten either. And also vice versa. You can ask that question Bostonians. You know, we don't.
- [49:46]
Ray Allen
It's.
- [49:47]
Khloe Kardashian
This is a great rivalry. Boston, New York, any sport. How was that? Oh, you. The Patriots were undefeated going into the Super Bowl. Tiny.
- [50:06]
Dan Patrick
Ham.
- [50:09]
Khloe Kardashian
Daniel, you know, you know, you knew to answer that question.
- [50:12]
Spike Lee
I did, I did. But I think Bostonians look at the Knicks and Nick fans and go, you guys haven't done anything. We've won championships, so maybe.
- [50:22]
Khloe Kardashian
How many Yankees have?
- [50:24]
Spike Lee
27.
- [50:25]
Khloe Kardashian
Thank you. So what are you saying?
- [50:29]
Spike Lee
Well, no, I'm just talking about the Celtics, Knicks rivalry.
- [50:32]
Khloe Kardashian
Oh, but it's Boston, New York, man. This Boston, New York.
- [50:37]
Spike Lee
Have you ever talked to Brady about those Super Bowls?
- [50:41]
Ray Allen
Oh, here's a. Oh, I forgot who.
- [50:45]
Khloe Kardashian
Super was, but his then wife was screaming, my husband can't throw the ball and catch the ball. But this past year, regular season game, Tom sat courtside, so the Knicks gave him a football to sign and he would throw up into the stands. So he says, fight, come over here. I'm gonna throw you the ball first, and you throw it back to me and I'll throw it up in the stage. I'm five, six and a half.
- [51:22]
Spike Lee
Yeah, you're the size of Edelman.
- [51:25]
Ray Allen
No, I'm small.
- [51:26]
Khloe Kardashian
And so he must have thought, he's throwing the grunk. That ball sailed over my head. Oh, but before that, before he threw the ball, I did like this.
- [51:39]
Spike Lee
Oh, he tapped your head near your helmet.
- [51:42]
Ray Allen
No.
- [51:42]
Spike Lee
David Tyree.
- [51:44]
Khloe Kardashian
Tyree, yeah.
- [51:48]
Ray Allen
No.
- [51:49]
Khloe Kardashian
But all I can say is Tom's a great guy. Great guy. Great guy.
- [51:53]
Spike Lee
He's Spike Lee, the movie the highest to lowest starring Denzel Washington. That'll be. Do you have a. A release date that?
- [52:02]
Khloe Kardashian
Yes, August 22nd nationwide. But also we're going to the Cannes Film Festival May 19th. So I believe in how things supposed to be. May 19th, 1989 was the world premiere do the Right thing in Cannes. May 19th, 25th will be Malcolm X hundredth birthday. Denzel's on Broadway doing Othello. And the only day Broadway is dark is on a Monday. And this May 19th is a month is a Monday. So Denzel will be able to come to Cannes. So we're very happy about that.
- [52:41]
Spike Lee
When did you know it worked clicked with Denzel.
- [52:47]
Khloe Kardashian
The first film mo Better Blues. So in order more Better Blues, Malcolm X He Got Game and Inside Man. And the funny thing is that Denzel and I both did not know inside man was 19 years ago. I mean time flies. I mean he. I didn't know he didn't know.
- [53:04]
Spike Lee
Yeah, but.
- [53:05]
Khloe Kardashian
But our relationship is really great. And it's. What's special is that we don't really hang out. We might see each other. When the Lakers in la, I sit with him.
- [53:15]
Spike Lee
I said his seats.
- [53:17]
Khloe Kardashian
When the Lakers into the garden, he comes and says fight. Let's go. So. But we see just like we saw each other yesterday.
- [53:25]
Ray Allen
So that's the.
- [53:26]
Khloe Kardashian
That's a, you know, relationship.
- [53:28]
Spike Lee
Who's the other players you considered for? He got game other than Ray Allen.
- [53:34]
Khloe Kardashian
Well, my brother Alan Iverson did not. Not did not want to audition. Rehearsal.
- [53:46]
Spike Lee
Rehearsal. Oh, no. He didn't say no.
- [53:49]
Khloe Kardashian
I'm kidding.
- [53:50]
Spike Lee
Okay.
- [53:50]
Khloe Kardashian
Hey, AI. It's love, baby. You know I love it. I know I love you.
- [53:54]
Ray Allen
There were.
- [53:56]
Khloe Kardashian
Here's the thing for hig I gained. I was like a talent scout because Jesus shut us off. Is the senior Abraham Lincoln High School in Coney Island. So I had to look at the people, look at the players who are going to be in the draft. Also look at the players in the league already, but still look like they could play the other in high school. So I made the list and I had auditions and. And the thing is that I needed someone who's going to dedicate the whole summer now. You know those athletes when it's all season, they gotta take a break, whatever. But Ray said I'll do it. So Ray did not. We didn't finish the film until the day before he had to report to camp for George Carr. He's on the Milwaukee Bucks then. So he dedicated himself for the role. And Gary always asked me, are we gonna have a he game too. We're gonna have a shi game, but I don't think so. I mean, the film is what it is. And my eyes. So far, I've not done any sequels.
- [55:03]
Spike Lee
Yeah, we fall in love with sequels. And I don't know if Hollywood does as well, because, hey, if it was successful, then, you know, best ever, Godfather 2. Okay. Yeah.
- [55:15]
Khloe Kardashian
Unchallenged Godfather 2.
- [55:19]
Spike Lee
What's the second best sequel?
- [55:26]
Khloe Kardashian
Yeah, I'm stumped right there. I'm stumped, man. But Francis, he owes. He owes a crown for that. Shout out to Francis.
- [55:33]
Spike Lee
Did you consider Stefan Marbury for He Got Game?
- [55:36]
Khloe Kardashian
Well, there's a big controversy and me and Steph were cool. You know, that stuff has been squashed. I've seen all the games all the time at the Garden, but somehow people were thinking that. That this T Got Game was about Stefan. And that's not really the case.
- [55:55]
Dan Patrick
I.
- [55:56]
Khloe Kardashian
The reason why I chose Abraham Lincoln High School, because for years they had the best basketball team public school. And also, even though I didn't grow up at Coney island, my high school I went to was John Dew was in Coney Island. So that's. That's really, you know what it was. I did not want. It was not autobiographical. I made up this character, Jesus Chelsworth, who. His father has been locked up for accidentally killing his. His mother.
- [56:26]
Spike Lee
We had Barkley on recently and I asked him what kind of game you had, and he said, spike can't play.
- [56:36]
Khloe Kardashian
Well, first of all, I can't play. He's never seen me play basketball. So this is. I mean, now back in the day, softball, I go to first to third on a hit. I was. I was. I was. I was the fastest kid in my block.
- [56:55]
Spike Lee
So you were Vince Coleman going from first to third.
- [56:58]
Khloe Kardashian
Jackie Robinson.
- [57:00]
Spike Lee
Oh, Jackie Robinson. You know, there are no great softball movies. So maybe, maybe you come out with a softball.
- [57:09]
Khloe Kardashian
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, hey, you're going to get exhibit credit.
- [57:14]
Spike Lee
Okay, so you do. Have you had some basketball game?
- [57:20]
Khloe Kardashian
I mean, I'm playing a team in New York City, depending. Softball, stoop ball, two hand touch. I mean, it's just playing in the street, you know.
- [57:34]
Spike Lee
Did you ever play against Prince? No. Okay.
- [57:38]
Khloe Kardashian
No, I heard. I. I taught. People say he could ball. I mean, he could play. And also he was a great. He knew the game too.
- [57:49]
Spike Lee
Yeah.
- [57:50]
Khloe Kardashian
One of my best moments, the NBA sat Prince and I together at Emmy All Star game when it was in New York. And we. There's a famous people look online and he has his cane. And it was. We were just talking basketball and having a great time. And I miss him. I miss him very much.
- [58:11]
Spike Lee
I was at the NBA Finals in Chicago. Loose ball. Rodman goes for it, out of bounds. Prince is there with his bodyguard. Rodman. Rodman, you know, gets the ball, and he walks over to Prince and he said, hey, we should go out after the game. Well, Prince doesn't acknowledge him. You have to go through the bodyguard to. Then talks to Prince. So Rodman's, like, talking to him, and Prince didn't say anything. And then the bodyguard says, you gotta. You gotta go through me. And then Rodman waved him off and then walked back on the floor.
- [58:49]
Khloe Kardashian
Well, I think that was a good decision.
- [58:56]
Spike Lee
This movie with Denzel, highest to lowest.
- [58:59]
Ray Allen
Yeah.
- [59:00]
Spike Lee
So asap, Rocky's in here.
- [59:03]
Khloe Kardashian
Yeah.
- [59:03]
Dan Patrick
He.
- [59:03]
Khloe Kardashian
He could give a magnificent performance. And this film is not a remake. It's a reinterpretation of the great film High and Low by the great Japanese filmmaker director Akira Kurosawa. So.
- [59:22]
Spike Lee
And that was back in the 60s, mid-60s, 1960. Okay.
- [59:26]
Khloe Kardashian
The great Tish Mafune, who did many, many films with Kurosawa, is a. He's executive at a shoe factory. And in this film, Denzel Washington is a music mogul who's noted as having the best ears in the business. So we shot this in the. In the streets of the great scene in the world. Weather York, for those who speak Spanish. You know what I'm talking about. Weather York and my fifth film with Denzel. And it's a blessing and.
- [59:58]
Spike Lee
But not nervous pairing somebody like Denzel with asap.
- [60:03]
Khloe Kardashian
No, I. ASAP is done. He's not. This is not his first film. And he. He auditioned and. And then I'll just tell you, he's from Harlem, so.
- [60:16]
Dan Patrick
He.
- [60:17]
Spike Lee
Not afraid.
- [60:18]
Khloe Kardashian
Not afraid. He's from Harlem Uptown.
- [60:21]
Spike Lee
I know you were just on Carmelo Anthony's podcast, and they're talking about retiring his jersey. What about Bernard King?
- [60:31]
Khloe Kardashian
Oh, the Knicks mean. Right?
- [60:32]
Spike Lee
Yeah.
- [60:34]
Khloe Kardashian
Here's the thing. Bernard is one of the greats. The name. But Bernard grew up in my neighborhood, Fort Greene. There's a hospital in Fort Green called Cumberland Hospital. Bernard was born there. Albert King, Mike Tyson, and Michael Jordan, they're all born in the house of my neighbor, Fort Green, Brooklyn.
- [60:58]
Spike Lee
Wow.
- [60:59]
Ray Allen
Yeah.
- [60:59]
Khloe Kardashian
Bernard. I mean, those years. I mean, is this. I wish they had better. I wish medicine was further along so they would not. The operation he had his knees would have made him come back, and he really wasn't physically the same. We came back for the. But I don't know why the New York Knickerbockers has not retired. Bernard King's jersey should be hanging from the rafter of the world's most famous arena.
- [61:33]
Spike Lee
He was a square, dark. He was a bucket man. He was a bucket every time down.
- [61:38]
Khloe Kardashian
Fort Hamilton High School.
- [61:40]
Spike Lee
Yeah. Yeah. How would you celebrate if the Knicks win a title? What would a. What would a title mean to you?
- [61:51]
Khloe Kardashian
Well, May 8, 1970, I was at game seven, the Willis re game. I was 13 years old, and I. I just need one before I leave this earth. And I'm telling you, when I read the Pope's, he said he's alumni vanilla of Villanova. I said, oh, my. It's a pun. Oh, my God.
- [62:32]
Spike Lee
Omg.
- [62:35]
Khloe Kardashian
But listen this, though, let's think a little ahead of time. It could be a Minnesota Nick final. Got my boy Dante. Villanova guy. So this might be the year you.
- [62:51]
Spike Lee
Going to church on Saturday.
- [62:54]
Khloe Kardashian
Well, I'm not Catholic, but I might go back to church. Might go to Abyssinian church tomorrow and.
- [63:03]
Dan Patrick
Get on my knees.
- [63:07]
Khloe Kardashian
Oh, Lord Jesus, give us. But here's the thing, though. You know, when the Mets won the World Series in 1969, I ran. I ran on the field in game five, like 20,000 other crazy kids, you know, game back then, those were day games we split in Baltimore. And my range, three and four, Shea Stadium, Queens. And my mother said, you're going to school. My father said, no, he ain't. He's going to shade State. The best. Gotta win what they call the Miracle Mets.
- [63:50]
Spike Lee
Yeah.

Khloe Kardashian
So miracles have happened in sports, hockey with the.
