late

tnt uh for using the Philadelphia 76ers approach if you come to work and perform like a fucking idiot we fire you were expecting to appear on this 90 minute show okay you come to practice yeah apparently he thinks this is like an open house it just stops by anytime between six and two morning and make an appearance, hey, this 75th anniversary team.

It was fun watching this tape, Shay, right? It's been incredible. I mean, even going

back

and looking at the top 50 players, seeing the way the NBA has mixed it all up. I think a lot of us, esp. A lot of the young players probably didn't even know who was on the list so it's good to see that you know the players who were on the list previously considering the young player who didn't get into United. I'm not talking about me, I'm not young, no, you know the players who are playing now and who are coming, you know, a lot of people ask you a question about which player and that was the best, you knew he was a great player when era Today in the locker room the boys were saying: could I really play?

You know what I mean? Who is that guy you didn't know? I don't know if that was the question. I don't know if that was the question. I don't know anyone well, okay, we know how great Dr. J was, when you're sitting in that locker room and God talks about Dr. J or Ash, they would ask you, they probably wouldn't really know about the doctor, that he was Michael Jordan from that era. Yes, most of us who have never seen them play with our eyes or are not really surprised, you really don't know, so you are going by what everyone tells you.

I'm curious to see the list, the full list, yeah, well. You know what you're going to see because the last time we were there there was a very short list of guys last time who felt like they'd been left out, I think it's going to be even Dominique, no, yeah, Bernard King, I mean. MVP of the league and you are not the owner, but king, come on, our king was great, let's see how important this league is. Over the past two

night

s, the

first

50 names for the NBA's 75th Anniversary Team have been released. The vote was carried out by a panel. from current and former NBA players and coaches, GM team and league executives, wnba legends and members of the media, 88 in total have cast their votes so far, 41 members of the 50th anniversary team of the league have been selected for this 75th edition, the other nine look like this while we bring you decide your chance presented by carmax, so we have seen tim duncan and kevin garnett alan iverson and steve nash, all the members of the hall of fame and a dirk nowitzki who will be eligible for the hall of fame in 2023 we also have some active players who have made the cuts so far giannis and kevin durant james harden and chris paul so i think it would be the right time to make him a 50 out of 50, what do you say about that 50th anniversary team that is part of the 75th anniversary team?

Let's reveal the

first

nine names and those nine should Give you an idea 41 plus nine equals 50 elgin baylor dave bing billy cunningham dave de buscher the gun my favorite as a kid growing up Earl Monroe Shaquille O'Neal again scheduled to appear in this program uh Dolph Shays and Lenny Wilkins so there you go Kenny I know you talked about that the other night the 50 of that 50th anniversary team the 75 and well deserved I mean because you talk about that Michael Jordan says a lot about comparing mistakes and never used to compare himself because of the mistakes.

Because of the way the game has played offensively, the name, the numbers are so dramatically different than what those guys would have been, so I think just adding 25 guys made more sense, it makes it understandable because you can't compare them. errors from one error to another. You know, the way the game is played, you know, if Savannah we were sitting in Lake Tahoe, I was sitting with Emmitt Smith, the all-time leader in Rusher, oh, you're just dropping names, no, this will actually help you understand your point, okay? his record is safe forever like there will never be a running

back

like he has one of the few records like all passing records are going to be shattered but i don't think we'll ever go back to where we give a running back what about henry uh henry aaron not at the moment running back henry derek definitely not, I don't know if he can last that long but we didn't think anyone would do triple doubles oh no triple-double, he said that would never be done, yeah. but i'm writing like now when guys get triple doubles you can do it like luca lebron on average for a season remember he has a big point before uh like i said because you know dan marino i saw a bunch of guys break down . his record recently, I'm like, damn mourinho, it must have been great, great, because every record and pass has been broken and dan has like a couple left and I'm like, man, it must have been great, he never got the credit he deserved because now they throw the ball 50 times a game uh and it's true it's all about mistakes you know what I've been thinking about too while we were revealing these names I think back to 1997 because I was in the gym at the time.

One day in Cleveland when you guys were taking a photo of your team, yeah, with those letter jackets, you know, and it was in Cleveland, yeah, yeah, they talk about an amazing bag and they talk about it, I mean, what was it like? Standing there in that well, Charles? For me, because when Will Chamberlain came in, I was like, "Oh my God, that's Will Chamberlain and Bill and what was really ironic, only one guy had passed away, the great Pete Maravich, so there were 49 guys in the room and we have to mix it up and for me, uh, Mr.

B, you know Bill Russell like a father to me, but then when will Chamberlain be like he's seen some of those other guys and different things But you'll say, show that again, just? show it again so you can I felt the moment at that moment I felt the moment well when you came when you see bill russ uh you have you see bill and you but you see Wilt back there looks like the only one who could still play in it now but he got the gold chain in the back you still got your jacket, chuck uh, I don't even know, you don't know where your jacket is, man, my mom and grandma stole everything, my mom and grandma were criminals, they got all the trophies that I've had a little boy in Alabama he was cold that day she liked to wear this jacket yeah yeah oh man I remember that man george mike bob cousy yeah yeah I remember I remember looking at those jackets leather as if he were 14 years old. looking at those leather jackets like man, I want one of those, yeah that's one of those, yeah, it just looks cool, man, you got the great Dave Collins, you know the man that always stops by, that's for sure, wow, hey, Hey, hey, you just came in, hey, me.

I really want to hear this this is how you walk up front you know this is an annual thing now I know the first day in Atlanta was a flop I'm not even talking to you right now you're not talking to us why are you mean to us? Come on, what's wrong with you? Ben Simmons, you're mad at us. We asked you to come to work. What's happening? I apologize, Ernie, what about the great Dwayne Wade, Kenneth Smith and Charles Barkley? What's up, Shaq, how are you? it's you and you and you're going to use your phone well bring the phone to practice you're really taking this too far sir it's good to see we're doing this 75th anniversary team and do it and we'll continue in just a second thank you derrick rush .

I appreciate that I knew it wouldn't be long before we got some social media action. uh, inspired by zebra, that was 20 years ago, that's 20 years. I've been

late

for a while
