‘Keep an eye’ on the San Antonio Spurs – Vincent Goodwill | Dan Patrick Show | NBC Sports

DEEP DIVE ON. KEVIN DURANT GOING TO THE ROCKETS. WHY IS KEVIN DURANT ON THE ROCKETS? BECAUSE HE WANTS TO BE, I THINK THAT’S THE EASY UH EXPLANATION TO SAY THAT IS BECAUSE CLEARLY AMONGST THE TEAMS THAT HE LISTED THE ROCKETS WHERE THE TEAM THAT LOOKS TO BE A KEVIN DURANT AWAY WITH THE YOUNG TALENT, THE COACHING THE PEDIGREE FROM BEING A REAL THREAT IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE LIKE REAL AND ALPER AND SHINGON, I BECAUSE HE WANTS TO BE, I A MEN THOMPSON IS REAL AND BUT HE’S A TALENTED PLAYER. JABARI SMITH LIKE, THEY HAVE SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE, AND STILL SO MANY YOUNG UNEARTHED PIECES, YET TO BE EXPLORED THAT YOU ADD KD THERE, IF HE IS A REASONABLE SEMBLANCE OF WHAT HE’S BEEN, THEY’RE A REAL THREAT IN THE SEASON. HOW DOES PHOENIX NOT GET THOMPSON OR REED, SHEPPARD OR LIKE? IT FELT LIKE THE ROCKETS WERE LIKE, WAIT A MINUTE. WHO DO YOU WANT IN THIS TRADE? SURE, WE’LL DO THAT. THAT IS THE ART OF NEGOTIATION DAN, THAT IS WHERE THE PLAYER SOMETIMES CONTROLS. EXACTLY WHAT ITERATION, UH, APPEARS FOR HIM BECAUSE HE WANTS TO GO TO A TEAM THAT STILL HAS ENOUGH PLAYS, LIKE, LOOK, THOMPSON’S GOING TO BE A NON-STARTER AND WHAT WORKS AGAINST PHOENIX HERE IS THAT KEVIN DURANT IS 36 YEARS OLD AND THE MAX HE CAN SIGN FOR AN EXTENSION IS GOING TO BE 2 YEARS. THEN WE DON’T HAVE A PRESIDENT FOR A PLAYER WHO’S HAD A LIST FRANK. REMEMBER THAT? THAT’S THE LIST. FRANK IS WHAT GOT BILL WALTON AND UH ACHILLES INJURY HALLIBURTON AND AN MCL. PEOPLE FORGET, HE HAD AN MCL, HIS FIRST FULL YEAR OR SECOND FULL YEAR IN BROOKLYN. THERE’S NO PRESIDENT FOR THE LONGEVITY OF THESE OLD GUYS BEING ABLE TO HANG AROUND AND PLAY AT A CHAMPIONSHIP LEVEL. SO YOU DO HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO MITIGATE SOME OF THAT RISK. LIKE I KNOW THE NUMBERS LOOK GREAT ON PAPER 504090 ACROSS THE BOARD, BUT IT LOOKS DIFFERENT THAN IF YOU GO LOOK AT KEVIN DURANT IN 2014, WHEN BEFORE HIS FIRST REAL INJURY, WHEN HE PUT UP 50 AGAINST AGAINST THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS, HE LOOKS SO FLUID HE THAT ATHLETICISM POPPED OFF THE PAGE. NOW HE’S A GUY WHO’S GOING TO BE 37 YEARS OLD AND ONCE AGAIN, THERE’S NO TEMPLATE FOR THIS, WE DON’T HAVE ANY PRESIDENT FOR THIS. SO WE DON’T KNOW WHAT THIS IS GOING TO LOOK TO LOOK LIKE. I’M GOING TO ASK YOU THE QUESTION THAT YOU ASKED IN YOUR COLUMN IS THIS HIS LAST STOP? OR JUST HIS NEXT STOP. SAY BECAUSE I THOUGHT BROOKLYN WAS GOING TO BE THE LAST STOP. I THOUGHT PHOENIX WAS GOING TO BE THE LAST STOP SO I’M NOT GOING TO BOX IN KEVIN DURANT. I WOULD JUST SAY IT FEELS MORE LIKELY. I DON’T KNOW IF KEVIN DURANT WANTS TO BE LEBRON JAMES PLAYING UNTIL HE’S 424355 YEARS OLD TO CLAIM EVERY RECORD OR WHATEVER IT IS FOR THIS MYTHICAL ARGUMENT. I THINK KEVIN DURANT’S GOING TO PLAY AS LONG AS HIS BODY TELLS HIM THAT HE CAN PLAY AND HE CAN PLAY MEANINGFUL BASKETBALL. YOU CAN ONLY JUDGE THESE GUYS 2 YEARS LENGTH OF THEIR CONTRACTS. THESE DUDES GO ON TO THEIR 40S. THEN THEY NEED TO BE LIKE SITTING UP SOMEWHERE NEXT TO YOU REMINISCING ABOUT THE GOOD TIMES. THEY DON’T NEED TO BE OUT THERE. CHASING AROUND THESE 40 YEAR OLD THESE 25 YEAR OLDS, WHAT’S THEIR PROBLEM. THE ACHILLES INJURIES COINCIDENCE OR SOMETHING MORE TO IT. MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF BOTH, I THINK WHAT WE CANNOT QUANTIFY. DAN IS THE AMOUNT OF MILES THAT THESE PLAYERS HAVE ON THEIR BODIES. WELL, BEFORE THEY GET TO THE NBA, WE THINK OF THEIR ODOMETER, STARTING. ONCE THEY GET TO THE LEAGUE, THAT’S NOT THE CASE AT ALL. WHEN YOU’RE PLAYING GAMES, A DAY, TRAINING. AND HERE’S THE OTHER THING, THIS IS THE AGE OF SPECIALIZATION. THESE GUYS AREN’T PLAYING FOOTBALL, BASEBALL TRACK, ALL THESE OTHER THINGS TO WORK, DIFFERENT MUSCLES. THEY’RE PLAYING 1 SPORT, AND IT’S STARTING THAT. AND IT’S STARTING THAT MILD TRAJECTORY REALLY, REALLY EARLY. I DON’T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT, I DO KNOW THIS THE NEXT TIME SOMEONE HAS A CALF INJURY LATE IN THE SEASON. SIT THEIR ASS DOWN PERIOD. YES. BUT WE SAID, I SAID IT LAST WEEK, I SAID, YOU KNOW, GOING TO TEAR YOUR ACHILLES AND WE’VE SEEN THIS WITH DURANT, WE’VE SEEN THIS WITH TATUM I I DON’T KNOW. IT JUST FEELS LIKE THERE’S SOMETHING ELSE. NOW, GRANTED AARON RODGERS WASN’T DOING ANYTHING. JUST BACK TO PASS DAN MARINO WHEN HE TORE HIS JUST GOING BACK TO PASS. SO I IT’S NOT ALL THESE ARE INCREDIBLE ATHLETES AND THEY’RE CUTTING AND, YOU KNOW, ALL THE MILEAGE ON THEIR IT’S IT’S WEIRD. YOU KNOW THAT IT CAN HAPPEN TO A QUARTERBACK JUST GOING BACK TO PASS. I MEAN, HERE’S THE THING. SOMETHING’S ALWAYS GOING TO BE HURTING ON YOU AS AN ATHLETE AND USUALLY IT’S AROUND YOUR CALF OR IT’S 10 TO NITUS OR IT’S SOMETHING THAT YOU’RE USED TO MANAGING. I’M NOT SURE DAN MARINO TORE HIS IN WHAT 93, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY OR 94. SO HE’S LIKE 10 YEARS INTO HIS CAREER. THAT’S NOT NECESSARILY COMMON DAME LILLARD. THAT’S AN OLD MAN INJURY FOR HIM. ISAIAH THOMAS, THAT’S AN OLD MAN ANDREW DOMINIQUE WILKINS OLD MAN INJURY. THESE OTHER GUYS IT’S NOT OLD. TYRESE HALIBURTON IS IS UM, YOU KNOW, EXPLOSIVE ATHLETE, THAT’S JUMPING AROUND. BUT WHEN YOU HAVE A CALF INJURY, REMEMBER LUKA DONCIC HEAD OF CALF, INJURY AND DALLAS THAT WE KIND OF WONDERED, OKAY? IS HE IN GOOD ENOUGH SHAPE AND ALL THESE OTHER TYPE OF THINGS? ALL THESE INJURIES AREN’T CREATED EQUAL. THEY AREN’T BIRTHED BY THE SAME THINGS, BUT THEY DO PRODUCE THE SAME RISK, AND WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THEM. LIKE THIS IS A RISK, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU’RE PLAYING A 100 GAMES INTO A SEASON, AND THEN THE GAME IS MOVING SO FAST, CAREFUL. TALKING TO BENSON GOODWILL. HE IS A YAHOO SPORTS SENIOR, NBA WRITERS, LATEST ARTICLE HAS TO DO WITH ROCKETS. I’M CURIOUS ABOUT THE SPURS IF THEY’RE TAKING DILLION HARPER. SO THAT BACKWARDS PRETTY CROWDED. SO I GOT THE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR. I GOT DARREN FOX AND IT FEELS LIKE SOMEBODY IS NOT GOING TO BE LONG FOR SAN ANTONIO. DO? WELL, TALKING TO PEOPLE AROUND THE LEAGUE. THE SPURS ARE THE TEAM THAT THEY’RE LIKE, OKAY, KEEP AN EYE ON THEM BECAUSE THE SPURS LIKE TO KEEP THINGS CLOSE TO THE BEST, THEY’RE NOT GOING TO GO OUT AND TELEGRAPH THEIR MOVES. REMEMBER, WE DIDN’T SEE THE DEER IN FOX TRADE HAPPENING. THEY WERE LIKE, WE ALREADY GOT, THEY ALREADY GOT A A YOUNG GUARD THERE AND THEN THEY ADDED ANOTHER 1, RIGHT? SO I WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED. LIKE THERE HAVE BEEN INSTANCES WHERE I DON’T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER THIS, DAN, THE PHOENIX SUNS OF 97 HAD KEVIN JOHNSON A YOUNG STEVE NASH AND JASON KIDD AND IT WOUND UP WORKING OUT THAT, YOU KNOW, OKAY. THEY WAS A LITTLE BIT OLDER AND FOUND IT AT THE TIME, AND YOU KIND OF LET THESE THINGS WORK THEMSELVES OUT. YOU TAKE THE BEST PLAYER AVAILABLE. LIKE I DON’T, I’M NOT A BELIEVER IN REACHING BUT I AM A BELIEVER IN THE SPURS, HAVING NUMBER 2. AND NUMBER 14, I THINK THEY HAD NUMBER 2 HOPING THAT KEVIN DURANT WOULD PICK THEM AND THEY WOULD USE THAT AS FAR AS DRAFT CAPITAL IN A TRADE. BUT NOW THAT THEY DON’T, I WONDER IF THEY’RE GOING TO TAKE I DON’T I DON’T SEE THAT BEING A TENABLE THING BUT ALSO THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A POSITION THAT WHAT THEY TELL US I DON’T BELIEVE THAT MIND YOU. I DON’T BELIEVE IT’S A POSITION AS LEAD. I THINK THAT’S A BUNCH OF BULL. IT IS AMAZING THOUGH. WHEN YOU LOOK BACK ON THE PHOENIX SUNS, YOU HAD 3 HALL OF FAME POINT GUARDS. I DON’T THINK KJ IS A HALL OF FAMER, BUDDY, PLAYED LIKE A HALL OF FAMER AT TIMES J KID AND AND STEVE NASH BUT YOU’RE RIGHT. NOBODY KNEW ABOUT NASH. PRACTICE FACILITY. AND I GO, YOU KNOW THAT THAT’S THE KID FROM SANTA CLARA, LIKE HE’S HE’S PRETTY GOOD AND THEN THEY SAID, WELL HE HE WON’T PLAY HERE, HE WON’T START HERE. AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN HE GOES TO DALLAS. AND NEXT THING YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, HE’S SOMEBODY UNIQUE. UM, BUT YOU DIDN’T WORRY ABOUT SALARIES BACK THEN VINCENT NOW I GOT DEAR AND FOX, WHAT’S HE GOING UM, ALTHOUGH I GET CASTLE AND HARPER ON, YOU KNOW, ROOKIE DEALS DARREN FOX GOING TO COST ME A LOT OF MONEY SO IT FEELS LIKE HE MIGHT BE THE GUY JETTISON HERE. WELL, YOU JUST GOT HIM. LIKE, THAT’S THE THING YOU JUST BUT I THINK IF IF YOU KNEW THAT YOU WERE GONNA END UP WITH THE SECOND PIT LIKE I THEY WOULDN’T HAVE MADE THE MOVE PROBABLY FOR HIM IF THEY KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO BE IN THIS SITUATION, I LIKE HIM, BUT AND I DON’T GET YOUNGER. SPEND MONEY. I THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO GET DURANT. I I THOUGHT THAT THAT THEY REALIZED THAT HE CAN HELP US, HE CAN TAKE PRESSURE, HE CAN BE A BUCKET. AND BUT, YOU KNOW, THE ROCKETS ARE. AND THE ROCKETS MIGHT BE A YEAR AWAY. SAN ANTONIO FEELS LIKE MAYBE 2 YEARS AWAY FROM BEING. UH OH HERE THEY COME. WELL, VICTOR’S COMING AND I THINK THIS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VICTOR’S COMING AND THE SPURS ARE COMING. I I THINK THEY’RE ON 2 DIFFERENT KIND OF A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT TIMELINES. WILL HE BE THE BEST PLAYER IN THE GAME IN 5 YEARS? IF NOT HIM, WHO ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WELL, BEST DEFENSIVE PLAYER. JAY GIL. JUST IS GOING TO BE THERE FOR A LITTLE WHILE BELIEVE THAT. UM BUT IT FEELS LIKE, YOU KNOW, BY 25, I THINK I SAID THAT HE’LL BE THE BEST PLAYER IN THE SPORT. I MEAN WHY WON’T HE BE THE BEST PLAYER IN THE SPORT 2 YEARS FROM NOW WHY WON’T HE BE THE BEST PLAYER IN THE SPORT NEXT YEAR? LIKE IT. DO YOU SEE WHAT HE’S DOING? HE’S OUT THERE WITH THE MONKS HE LOOKS LIKE EDDIE, EDDIE MURPHY IN THE GOLDEN CHILD. DO YOU REMEMBER THAT MOVIE? YEAH, LIKE THAT WAS A BAD MOVIE BUT HE LOOKS THAT THAT WAS THAT WAS A BAD MAN, GOOD REFERENCE, BAD MOVIE. BUT YEAH, HE’S WITH THE TIBETAN MONKS THERE. UH, BUT YEAH, I LOOK I’M A BIG FAN BECAUSE HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR, UH, THE LAST 2 YEARS BUT I JUST WONDER CAN THE TEAM KEEP UP WITH HIM. BECAUSE THAT’S WELL, HE’S WELL, HE’S NOT GOING ANYWHERE AND HERE’S THE THING. NO, BUT THE TALENT AROUND HIM. CAN THEY KEEP UP WITH HIM AS HE DEVELOPS? SO CASTLE. CAN HE SHOOT BETTER? UH IS HARPER GOING TO BE YOU KNOW A TRUE YOU KNOW GO-TO GUY. WHO ELSE DO YOU HAVE ON THAT TEAM WHO’S GOING TO HELP YOU? UM YOU KNOW SO THAT THAT WOULD BE MY ONLY CONCERN WITH THEM. NO, I DON’T DISAGREE WITH YOU. I MEAN, I THINK THEY HAVE PIECES THAT YOU CAN MOVE THAT JEREMY. SO HANDS. THE KELVIN JOHNSON’S, GUYS? LIKE THAT. THAT YOU IF YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT PACKAGING PLAYERS AND FIGURING STUFF OUT, IF YOU WANT TO PRESS THE FAST FORWARD BUTTON. BUT UNTIL A PLAYER GOES INTO HIS FIRST ROOKIE EXTENSION. AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT THIS, LIKE THE NFL, WHERE IF YOU GET A QUARTERBACK ON A ROOKIE CONTRACT, AND YOU START PUTTING IN THOSE VETERAN PIECES, AROUND THEM, LIKE SEATTLE, DEAL WITH RUSSELL WILSON LIKE A DECADE AGO. THAT’S WHAT THE NBA IS TURNING INTO NOW, WHERE IF YOU GET A GUY ON THE FIRST CONTRACT OR THE FIRST ROOKIE EXTENSION, THAT’S WHEN YOU START BUILDING A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM, THAT’S WHY YOU HAVE ALL THESE TEAMS SORT OF POSITIONING THEMSELVES TO MAKE RUNS NOW BEFORE GUYS GET REALLY REALLY EXPENSIVE. I WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED IF THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS, PUT ALL THEIR CHIPS TO THE CENTER OF THE TABLE, BUT TRADITIONALLY, THAT’S NOT HOW THEY HAVE OPERATED. YEAH. WHAT’S THE BETTER VERSION OF MICHAEL? JORDAN, YOUNG MIKE OR OLD MIC OR VETERAN OR VETERAN? MIKE I’LL GIVE YOU THE FIRST 5 YEARS OF THE THE NEXT 5 YEARS. OH, IT’S THAT MIDDLE 5. IT IS, IT IS 89 TO 93, MICHAEL JORDAN, AND I DON’T THINK IT’S PARTICULARLY CLOSE LIKE IN 89. HE WAS SCARY JUST LIKE THE TRIPLE DOUBLES AND HE WAS GOING INTO HIS BODY AND HE TOOK THAT REALLY NOT GOOD BULL SCENE TO THE EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS WHERE HE HE TOOK, 2 GAMES OFF OF A DETROIT TEAM THAT DIDN’T LOSE TO ANYBODY ELSE. THAT SEES THAT SERIES. AND THEN, THE NEXT YEAR, YOU CAN SEE, HE WAS REALLY COMING AND REALLY GOING TO SHOW UP. AND THEN YOU WANT WHEN YOU RUN OFF, 3 IN A ROW, AND I KNOW THAT THE BAD BOYS WERE OLD AND MAGIC CARRIED, A BUNCH OF DUDES WHO WERE MAGIC IN THE WHO’S WHO OF WHO AND 1991 TO THE NBA FINALS. HE DIDN’T HAVE A DIRECT EQUAL BECAUSE OF LEN BIAS AND BECAUSE OF THE CALENDAR BUT THERE WAS NO GREATER PLAYER WE’VE EVER SEEN IN THIS LEAGUE’S HISTORY BESIDES MICHAEL JORDAN BETWEEN 1989 AND 1993. NOW THE 1997 MICHAEL JORDAN, THE ADULT GROWN, MICHAEL, JORDAN, THAT GUY PUT UP THE BEST NBA FINALS WE’VE EVER SEEN LEGIT FROM GAME TO GAME FROM THE FLU GAME TO. TO THE TRIPLE DOUBLE TO THE GAME. WINNER IN GAME, 1 PERFORMANCE BY PERFORMANCE. THAT’S THE BEST NBA FINALS WE’VE EVER SEEN AS FAR AS GAME TO GAME EFFECT. THAT WAS THE 3233 YEAR OLD MICHAEL JORDAN. OKAY, YOU CAN YOU CAN YOU CAN TAKE YOUR PICK. OKAY, BUT IT’S NOT, YOU’RE NOT LOSING IS MICHAEL THE FIRST AND SECOND BEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME. IF I LOOK AT WHAT HE WAS IN 89 AND WHAT HE WAS IN, 96 97? WELL, WELL, I WILL TELL YOU THIS, AND THIS IS WHAT SOMETHING ORIGINAL. MICHAEL JORDAN IS SO GREAT. HE WENT INTO THE HALL OF FAME AS 2 PLAYERS HIMSELF AND SCOTTY PIPPEN. WOW, THAT’S COLD. BLOODED WE UH I AM FROM DETROIT MAN. OH WE DO, DO CALL SCOTTY SITTING BALL AROUND HERE? UH, GILBERT ARENAS SAID THAT, HE CAN’T BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE TREAT KOBE LIKE HE WAS HIS SIDEKICK WHEN HE WAS WITH 3 PEAT, THAT FAIR TO SAY THAT UH HE SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN VIEWED AS SHAQ’S SIDEKICK. I THINK THE PROBLEM IS REVISIONIST HISTORY HAS SORT OF MADE PEOPLE GO TO THE STAT SHEET AND SAID MAN, TRACY MCGRADY WAS A REALLY GOOD PLAYER, HE COULD HAVE DONE WHAT KOBE DID KNOW. HE COULDN’T HAVE LIKE KOBE, ACTUALLY CARRIED THE LAKERS IN SOME OF THOSE PLAYOFF SERIES. NOW, 2,000, KOBE WASN’T FULLY GROWN. HE WAS STILL 21 YEARS OLD, I THINK 22 YEARS OLD AND HE WAS STILL BATTLING A LITTLE BIT OF INCONSISTENCY AND FIND HIMSELF, BUT BY 2001. NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, ARGUABLY THE BEST PLAYER IN THE GAME, LIKE THE WAY HE DOMINATED THAT SAN ANTONIO, SPURS SERIES IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS WHERE HE WAS TAKING 40 POINT GAMES ON THE ROAD AGAINST TIM DUNCAN AND DAVID ROBINSON AND GOING TO THE BASKET AND DUNKING ON THEM. NO, NO NO, NO. THERE IS AS MUCH AS THERE IS DAN A BIG GAP BETWEEN THOSE 2 PLAYERS. THERE’S EVEN AS GREATER OF A GAP BETWEEN KOBE BRYANT AND ANYBODY ELSE THAT YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CAN PUT IN THOSE SPOTS BECAUSE SHAQUILLE O’NEAL NEEDED SOMEBODY, AND HE JUST JUST DIDN’T NEED A VINCE CARD OR TRACY MCGRADY. LIKE, THOSE GUYS WERE GREAT, GREAT PLAYERS, BUT KOBE HAD AN APPETITE AND ALL AROUND COMPLETE GAME, ESPECIALLY DEFENSIVELY, WHERE HE WOULD REALLY GET AFTER IT. I THINK AT, YOU KNOW, IT’S FUNNY WHEN HE DIED, IT WAS ALMOST LIKE THERE WAS AN OVERARCHING. SORT OF REACH TO PUT HIM IN A CERTAIN SPOT AND NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN WE’RE GOING TO DOWNPLAY IT. BRING GET A LITTLE BIT TO THE SORT OF REACH TO PUT HIM IN A AND NO, NO, NO. CAN WE JUST COUNT. LIKE IF YOU’RE NOT THE NUMBER 1 GUY, DON’T COUNT WHATEVER BECAUSE MAGIC JOHNSON PLAYED WITH KAREEM ABDUL. JABBAR, WHOSE WINGS WERE THOSE IN 1980 1982 AND 85. LIKE, I DON’T WANT TO PARSE THAT SOMETHING THAT IS NOT I MENTIONED THIS AND I’LL LEAVE YOU WITH THIS WITH OKC THAT I KNOW WE WANT TO FASTRAC THEM TO BEING A GREAT TEAM OF ALL TIME WHICH THEY’RE NOT. UH, YOU KNOW, YOU WENT TO GAME 7 TWICE. YOU HAD TO HOLD OFF THE BIGGEST UNDERDOG IN THE LAST 25 YEARS. ACCORDING TO THE ODDSMAKERS, IT TOOK A GUY BLOWING OUT HIS ACHILLES, YOU HOLD ON, YOU WON. UM, WE MIGHT LOOK DIFFERENTLY AT THE THIS OKC TEAM IN 3 YEARS. THEY COULD BE THE TORONTO, RAPTORS. OR THEY MIGHT HAVE SOME SUSTAINABILITY HERE WHICH I HOPE THEY DO AND THEY PROBABLY SHOULD. BUT I THINK WE WANT TO HAVE THAT CORONATION OF. THIS IS 1 OF THE GREAT TEAMS OF ALL TIME. GREAT REGULAR SEASON. DENVER TOOK THEM TO 7. INDIANA, TOOK THEM TO 7 AND THAT’S WHY I WOULD JUST SAY ENJOY, ENJOY YOUR PARADE. ENJOY YOUR TITLE. DON’T PUT THEM IN THERE WITH THE OLD 1 LAKERS OR THE YOU KNOW, THEY’RE NOT THERE. BUT THAT’S OKAY. WHAT DO YOU THINK? I THINK THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALL OF THOSE TEAMS THAT YOU MENTIONED THE SUM OF THE SINGLE SEASON GREATEST TEAMS, 86 CELTICS, 87 LAKERS 8376 WAS THAT ONLY 1 1 CHAMPIONSHIP. OH 1 LAKERS ALL THOSE TEAMS HAD GONE THROUGH MULTIPLE PLAYOFF, RUNS WINNING, LOSING EVERYTHING ELSE. THIS IS THEIR SECOND PLAYOFF RUN TOGETHER, DAN, AND THAT’S WHERE YOU CAN LOOK AT IT AND SAY, MAN, DO THEY STILL HAVE MORE ROOM TO GROW THAT? AND YOU DON’T KNOW IN TODAY’S NBA ESPECIALLY WITH THEM BEING IN OKLAHOMA CITY AND WE DON’T KNOW HOW THEY’RE GOING TO HANDLE JAYLEN WILLIAMS COMING UP FOR A MAX AT HOMEGROWN COMING UP FOR A MAX AND HAVING ALL THOSE DRAFT PICKS AND FIGURING OUT THE ECONOMICS OF THE GAME THERE, BUT WE’VE HAD 7 DIFFERENT CHAMPIONS IN THE LAST 7 YEARS. THEN WE SAY THE SAME THING ABOUT MILWAUKEE. OH THEY’RE GOING TO GO ON A RUN, BOSTON, THEY’RE GOING TO GO ON A RUN DENVER, THEY GOT NOLA YOLK IS THE BEST GOING TO GO ON A RUN. THE GAME MOVES FASTER THAN EVER QUICKER THAN EVER. I’M WITH YOU. I THINK THEY ARE 1 OF THE BEST SINGLE SEASON TEAMS WE’VE EVER SEEN IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN IF THEY HAVE AS LONG OF A RUNWAY WHAT IF DAN THEY ARE THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS WHERE THEY NEVER GO BACK TO BACK, BUT THEY WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS OVER A 15-YEAR PERIOD, WHERE THE 99 TEAM LOOKS TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN THE 017 LOOKS TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN THE 2014 TEAM, BUT THERE’S A COMMON DENOMINATOR AND A COMMON THREAD THERE. WE WOULD STILL SAY THEY ARE WILDLY SUCCESSFUL ESPECIALLY IN TODAY’S NBA WELL SAID VINCENT GOODWILL, YAHOO SPORTS, SENIOR NBA WRITER HOST OF THE GOOD WORD PODCAST ON YAHOO SPORTS, AND SIRIUSXM NBA HOST. GREAT TO TALK TO YOU. AS ALWAYS. THANK YOU, BROTHER. ALWAYS I LOVE, I LOVE THE LIVING FOR THE CITY. OH, ALL RIGHT, A LITTLE, STEVIE WONDER LIVING FOR THE CITY.
