Arloz Booser ACC network basketball analyst. And he joins us on behalf of draft kings. One of the most exciting places for March madness. Draft kings has products available for fans nationwide. Draft King sports book predictions daily fantasy sports. How often does this story about Prince renting your home come up? Dan, how you doing, man? Good. It comes up. It comes up often for those that know the story. Yeah. The one thing that stands out because when you told us the story that you rented your house in L.A.

4:05to Prince and then you came back. How long did he rent that house for? He rented it for a year. Okay. He rented it for a year. Yeah. And then you come back after a year? No. So he rented it for me for a year. I had tore my hamstring and Utah when I was playing for the jazz. Came to L.A. to get physical therapy. And I popped it on. I called him a couple of times. He hadn't heard from him. Popped up at the house. And it's my first big purchase, by the way. I'm a young 21 year old guy. I bought this huge house in Bel Air trying to show off. What do you know what you go for? And then rent it out to Prince because I'm not going to be there for eight months going to be in Utah anyway. And I get there and everything is purple. You know, my wife at the time had decorated the house beautifully. Italian rugs and all this fancy stuff that I have no idea what it is. And then I come in and he basically turned all the rugs purple and black. He had his picture everywhere in the house.

5:06One of the cool things that he did that my kids actually liked is he turned my weight room. And so like a nightclub. He had a DJ booth and like a disco ball. My kids kind of thought that was kind of cool. But other than that, I was I was living, but he ended up changing it all back before he moved out. He doesn't ask for any. He's not saying if he can have permission to do any of this stuff. I mean, he was basically playing 95 grand a month. And he's Prince. So, you know, you get you get he gets grace when he's Prince. When most of most of us were born to his music. And then he was on tour doing his 3121 album. So he was kind of hard to reach, but did not ask for permission. But he did change it back and I appreciated that. But did he leave you anything? You got a memorabilia from Prince? I did get a sign photo that him and I took when he signed the lease agreement when we met. You need a guitar or something like that. That's what I should have got. Absolutely. But thank you for sharing again because it feels like whenever that story kind of surface is once a year.

6:12And I'm like a poor Carlos. He got to tell that story again and again and again. You were there with some LeBron's rookie year in Cleveland. That was your second year. So that that's the only year you play with the Brown, right? Correct. Yeah. Okay. We also share some Olympics and all star games together. Okay. But he makes his debut in Sacramento, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What do you remember fighting against the Kings who were voted? What do you remember about that night? The hype around LeBron making his debut. That was nuts, man, because I was there in Cleveland a year before we got LeBron. And it wasn't that excited to have a sense of it. There was probably, it seemed like there was 300 camera men at the baseline. If you go back to that film and watched the warmups, like we had a hard time warming up because that arena, the arc arena was kind of tight on the baselines.

7:12And so we had so much media trying to get every move that he made, every, every warmup dunk that he was doing, twin the legs and all these windmills and different things. And it was, it was difficult just to warm up. But I'll tell you during the game, he was outstanding. Terrific. Obviously, we lost to a much better team, an older veteran group with Chris Weber and Stuyacovitch and Divak and those guys, Mike Bibby. They were loaded. But he put on a show, man, he had a hell of a game for his first game in the NBA as a true 18-year-old. And obviously, you guys know the rest of history became one of the best players we've ever seen. But if I would have told you that night, that guy is still going to be playing and might be playing when your sons go into the NBA. Yeah, there's no way I would have believed that. The fact that he's still playing and I retired in 2017 and started my career before him is remarkable. Like his jeans and his work ethic and I take care of his body is a testament to his greatness. It's impressive that literally, if he decides to come back next year, he'll be playing with one of my sons. That's incredible.

8:13When did your sons get their first recruiting letters? I would say about eighth grade, seventh eighth grade. They were like 13, 12, 13, 14 years old and started getting some notoriety nationwide. And how did you and their mom deal with that getting recruited that early? Yeah, we were excited. Obviously, you get excited when you realize your kids follow them on their passion and they're getting recognized by some of the best coaches in the country. We're very excited for the possibility of what their future might look like. But the recruiting of you as opposed to your sons. No, I stay out of it. I told the boys and I told their mom, I was like, I don't want colleges recruiting dad. I'm not going to be the one that's going to be there at 6am for workouts. I'm not going to be there at two of them running and getting ready for crashing for an exam. They have to recruit the boys and the boys have to make that decision for themselves to see if they want to go to that school. They like that coach. They like the team and how they're make the makeup.

9:13They have a chance to win a championship, all those kind of things. So I didn't go to any of the recruiting visits. I just, I got all the notes from, from, from the boys when they got back. I got the notes from mom when they got back and literally let the boys make their own decision. And they also, you know, to be quite frank, they could have chose a path of going their individual ways if they wanted to. You know, if it was best for Kate and to go somewhere else, if it was best for Cam to go to a different place, we would have welcomed that as well, but they made the choice together to stay together, because it was going to be the last time that they got to choose to play together. Obviously, the NBA, you never know what's going to happen down the road. You know, God willing, they get to play together in the NBA, but, you know, thinking that this year could be the last year that actually play together, or something that we all had in mind. When did Cameron get better than you? That's a good question. I would probably say right around like 16, 17, I stopped playing and playing the kids one on one. I wanted to retire and defeated.

10:14I got that goal in mind, but you know, as a dad, think about this though. As a dad, your dad is the only person that wants their sons to be better than them. Every other man wants to be better than the next man. So I'm proud of my kids for being better than me and have them more skills and being able to do more with that basketball than I could. Is Carlos Bouser, ACC Network Basketball analyst joining us on behalf of DraftKings? How are you as an analyst with the ACC games? How are you as an analyst with Duke games? Yeah, very different. It's difficult for me because I'm such a dad and I'm obviously always coaching and trying to figure out ways to get my kids better and get them prepared for what lies ahead. But as an analyst, you try to be unbiased and look, come on, man. I got Duke blood running through my body. I'm rooting for Duke like crazy. This is my most exciting time of the year. Also, when I tell the listeners out there, go to DraftKings. But putting together this super apps, you can go to one location

11:15and have all your fun there and be responsible out there. Don't go crazy, but enjoy responsible DraftKings. For me, I would say it's harder being a dad watching them being a player because you have all this anxiety you want to get out there and jump in and play with your kids and have them do what you see from the sideline. As a player, you actually get to go get a rebound and go share the screen and go make a basket. But I'm proud of my kids no matter what though. What was your favorite Mike Shushewski story? Man, there's so many. I mean, I remember we lost the game and he felt like we didn't attack that game that we were too passive and on our heels and we had a game coming up and the next game, we go in the locker room and there's a white piece of paper that's covered the locker room all over the place. White piece of paper everywhere we can't even sit down at our lockers. On the paper is in small black letters is the word attack.

12:15And then they have, we have a big TV in the room. They're playing that brave heart scene. I think it's Mel Gibson. Yeah. It's like writing on the horse and he's getting the guys ready to go into the battle. And then Coach K comes summer assaulting in and is like, let's attack! Like screaming it like that. Now, mind you, let me set the stage. This is Coach K. He's one championship. He's been coach of the year. He's one of the most decorated coaches of all time. He's got two hip replacement surgeries and he treated every day like he had something to prove to our group. I'm 17, 18 years old. I'm a teenager and seeing the legend that he is, do that for us to get us motivated was like, man, if we don't attack this game, then what the hell are we doing? You know what I mean? Coach K did a summer assault in the locker room? Some assault with two hip replacements unbelievable. Is there a video of this? No, I don't know.

13:15I didn't have a video while I was in the moment, but maybe. Oh, my God. I remember when I went to a latener and Hurley were there and I went to a game and then somebody said, hey, if you get a chance, go to practice because you're going to change your opinion of Coach K and I go, what do you mean? I go, if you see him in practice and he is a different, like he was, I don't want to say maniacal, but man was he on fire. And he demanded, he demanded greatness. And it was one of those where you go, wow, they're not lying. Like he is, and he's going after latener, he's going after Hurley. He didn't, it didn't matter. He's going to, he's going to take you to task there. Yeah, I mean, Coach K, one of the brilliant abilities is to be able to get the most out of his players, right? What a good guy. I was from Juno Alasca, Shane Badiets from the Michigan, Jay Wilson, Jersey, Downey Vs from Oregon, you know,

14:15just just talk about us for all of us to the play of the year in our state or Gatorade player of the year, we're in the United States of America. He's able to bring us together and strip us of our individual ego to build us up to have one collective ego where we need the guide next to us. And that's a rare talent to have, especially you go on from an era where there's guys that are staying in college for three or four years, like latener Grant and like we did. And then moving into the one and done era that happened for so long and still having a success that he had, it's an incredible ability. And it takes, it takes a guy whose had star players like he's coaching us the same way he coached that group. And they went back to back championships and went to four final fours. And he's coaching every player that has come through Duke has left a better player after playing for Coach Guy. You grew up on a military base in Alaska? My dad was in a military, yeah. Man. What do you think of the cold weather? I'm used to it. I love Juno, man, to open my eyes to a different way of life.

15:17I snowboard, I go fishing, I go camping and hiking. But what about finding competition in Juno, Alaska? Yeah, I mean, early on it was a lot of competition when I was young, but as I got older, it was tough. And so travel ball, you know, playing on the circuit, you know, down in California and New York, and you know, states where they had more competition for me, ended up being the right route for me. I played for EBO, Darrym Ozzaboros, travel team, and I got a chance to play against the best players in the country. Well, good luck with the ACC network.

Venezuela against Italy, Team USA playing for the title tonight on Fox at 80 Stern against Venezuela. You know, the atmosphere is what surprised me probably the most, John.

21:23I don't know if I said what's the one thing that you were surprised at so far with the classic is what? Yeah, I would say, first of all, the star factor of the amount of players that have bought in and played, especially with Team USA. It's probably the most we've ever had. You know, a lot of guys want to dip their toe in. You got to be all in or not. And that is what I've always seen from the countries that have gathered their stars because that is the most important thing that to them. The intensity and the passion has gotten more and more and the loudness. Of course, the where we are in Miami helps because a lot of the people live here that represent those countries. So that to me has been single handedly very, very obvious and very apparent who they're rooting for and how many people it's out. It outweighs the American fans. That's for sure. How do you build a team like this? Not sure who's going to play. Maybe the countries.

22:23It's a little bit easier for them to build their team, but for Team USA, how do they go about putting the roster together in future world baseball classics? It starts a year in advance. That's the hard part. There's all kinds of restraints and handcuffs. I don't know why you'd want to be a manager first and foremost. There's absolutely no upside. Unless you want to manage the big leagues and it starts with a star player buying in. I think the more these tournaments have been played, you can dislike a lot of things that come along with it. And I do, but from a tournament standpoint, you don't have the freedom to do whatever you want. So you've got to take what you get. So if you get a star like Aaron Judge who's bought in and he starts talking to players and Bryce Harper, that's how it works. And look, what schemes has done at his age, the stock has gone through the roof. I just can't even imagine. You know, when it starts happening like that and you get pictures to buy in, then all of a sudden you get to showcase what you have. And then the US pressure to win it gets better because they're more equipped to win it with the players they have.

23:27You kind of sounded ominous with Paul schemes where the way he throws, how he throws, you know, that it's kind of inevitable. It feels like that he's going to break down at some point. Is that summarizing what your thoughts are with him? No, I mean, that's the summarization of what we now come to get used to. Nobody's escaped it. He might be an outlier shoot. He carries a tank on his back when he's warming up. There's a lot of things I like that he does because he's so big and he has such great opportunity to dominate a baseball game. But what I'm more impressed is the mentality of what he's doing and how he's doing it. That in and of a self can get you away from the epidemic of injuries that we're seeing in pictures. Because he's different, he's unique. He's six five six six, whatever. I don't think buying into the narrative that it's going to happen. Now we as broadcasters and former players, we report that this is happening at an alarming rate. And it's not connected to the world baseball classic.

24:28I know that's a lot of people want to say it's like why would I want to put my player through a more baseball classic when the injury rates are what they are. The reason is because we've never even addressed it. So if you don't address it and I've been banging that drum for years, I'm glad to see players come into this event and say, I'm in. I want to play for my country. I'm going to pitch the way I possibly can to be the best that I can and deal with the mental toughness that you've got to have. Because there's all kinds of noise. Dan, you can buy into a million of theories if you look at yourself. And I think when I've seen this team USA, they're not doing it. And they know they have a mission. They know they need to win because they're expected to. He's John Spolts to be on the call with Joe Davis tonight. It'll be on Fox team USA playing for the title against Venezuela. How threatening is Venezuela? Well, they've got a lot of small part of themselves, but they also have a ton of emotion. You can play in a tournament like this with that kind of emotion because it's condensed.

25:28You can't do it in the right season. You'd be wiped out. And so their ability and their belief look to try and do something they've never done. And for this tournament history, it's been kind of dominated by Japan. The US has a chance to get their second. But what it would mean for the country of Venezuela and everything that they've gone through and all the people that live here, you can't help but be infectious about how they are just gravitate towards that emotion. This look, about 10, 12 years ago, I probably would be bothered by this winning of World Baseball Classic is more important than winning a World Series. I get it now though. I get it for the country. I get it for the players to come from that country. Totally understand why they're passionate. And the importance of this weighs a little bit higher than an ultimate goal. And majorly baseball winner in World Series. How do you make this bigger? I think you make it bigger when you do it in the middle of the season shut down for a week. I've been saying that for years. I think it's the perfect spot to showcase the international talent.

26:31You'd have everybody wearing that uniform. They'd be in mid-season form. There'd be no restrictions. You truly get to see the Goliath going against the Goliath without them coming out and throwing a million arms. I don't know that we'll ever get there. I hope we do. Hockey did it last year. I didn't miss one second of it. I was blue to it. It was the most incredible event that I've ever watched. When you see what those players were doing for that country. And it was much more condensed. We could do the same thing. That's how you make it better. You can allow what this tournament has done is accomplished its goals. Team Italy. Baseball is going to be thought of differently there. You've got all other countries that are bringing baseball in the forefront. When other sports were really kind of marquee and king. That has worked. Is it the perfect timing? No. The spring training and all these clubs. Think about managing Team USA. You've got 30 bosses. You've got 30 bosses telling you what their players can and can't do. It's a very difficult situation.

27:31But given the circumstances, this has been an epic year. It's probably the best tournament we've seen in a long time. Have you talked to the commissioner about this idea? Oh, yeah. Many years. Many times. Absolutely. I just think it's a no-brainer. But we've got the Olympics. We've got other things that are probably getting away right now. But the international flavor in our game is so good. Even if you just did an international world versus USA. You can't come up with a roster that wouldn't be epic either way. And people look. I think our all-star game is still the best all-star game of any sport. It's the only one worth watching. We play it closer to the regular season. And everyone's still trying to figure out how to screw it up. Well, this is how you win. That would be great, though. Just to like the NBA did with the USA versus the world. Yep. And you could do two games. If you shut the game down for a week and give everybody the break they need. There's a season's long.

28:31You could do so many things to promote within that week. And own that week. Not to mention. And I told you this before in the weekend of that week off. Have the all thing. So that everybody can be aware of. Pass the present and be connected. Did you fill out your bracket yet? Not yet. I don't even know. I didn't even know today was. St. Paddy's day. Yeah, I didn't even know. I've been on a two-week road trip. And I haven't even looked at one thing. I do know that the bracket that my team I root for is in the hardest bracket. Go figure. But that's just the way it is. But you have supreme confidence in Thomas O. and Michigan State. Supreme confidence. I only wish I could go to Buffalo and watch it in person, but I can't get there.

He's got cabs at the box, eight eastern on NBC and peacock. What do you remember about your March madness experience? I think my senior year going against in the first round, Dan Marley. And I believe it was Central Michigan beating them. And then thinking that we were going to have a clear cut sweet 16 birth because we played good old best name. Finis Dimbo in Wyoming. Thinking, okay, we're going to run through them. And then we were going to get the matchup that everyone wanted to see

34:41because we never played one another. It was Greg Anthony and you and LV and those high octane running rubles. That was the matchup. We overlooked finis. He cooked us. He cooked me. And we lost the finis dimbo in one and the cowboys. That's probably what I remember most my senior year. But how does that work? Explain that experience. That here's finis dimbo who wasn't a good NBA player. You became a Hall of Famer. But on that day, he was a Hall of Fame player against you guys. And that's the beauty of March madness. It doesn't matter what CGR. Remember, you're playing on neutral sites. You're not playing at home. Everyone is somewhat equal because of these neutral sites. And we overlooked Wyoming. And this was a blockbuster game for them. And Finis Dimbo punched his ticket to the NBA from that game.

35:43And it was a disappointing loss for my Bruins. How long does it take to get over a loss? Well, that was your last game. It was. I fouled out. I didn't play great. It's difficult. But you dust yourself off and move on. But it's one of those losses that you hope you grow from. And sometimes when you have losses like that, that's your best teacher. Yeah. And you learn from it and you move on. Better team in your opinion, more talented. Running Rebels or the Fab Five? Wow. Very similar in terms of how they approach the game. Now, are we talking about the one UNLV team that went undefeated and won the championship versus Duke? Because that team was unbelievable. Or grandma, boss, D.C. Argbim, Greg Anthony. I mean, they were loaded. But in terms of culture.

36:43Right? I mean, you've got to think of the Fab Five. I know they didn't win a championship. But they changed the landscape and how we thought with John Howard, Chris Weber, my boy, Jalen Rose. So, culture-wise, I'll go with the Fab Five. But, I mean, you get to remember, those running Rebels teams they did win a championship. Okay. But more talented. If I go starting Fab Five against the starting five at UNLV. I would probably more talented would be the Fab Five. Okay. Yeah. I would say the same thing. I mean, Larry was great. I thought Stacey was going to be even better. He was good. He was good. But because of his length, you thought it 6-8-6-9. Yeah. 7-foot-2 linkspan. But he was good in the NBA. He wasn't great. He was good. Greg Anthony had a good NBA career.

37:44But let's face it, those Fab Five team, Jalen Rose was great. We know about C-Web. John Howard had a long NBA career now coaching. So, yeah. I think career-wise, you go with the Fab Five. Talking to Red G Miller, the Hall of Famer. You know, I don't go out of my way to talk about the Lakers. But when they do something and they're winning and they're, you know, a game and a half up on Houston. So now, you know, if they get into the top four, now, you know, maybe, maybe, there can be a magical run here. But I don't know what's different in the last, you know, two weeks or so. They won six in a row. And we've seen LeBron almost embrace that third wheel of, you know, I'm going to defer. I'm going to pass. I'm going to let these two guys, is it that simple? Because they still have to play defense. It's that simple. And you're right at the end of the day.

38:44The defense will either do them in or that'll be the defining moment for them. And I think they're starting to understand how the roles will be situated. Because LeBron was out for those few games. That's when they started this win streak. And between Austin Reeves and Luca, they were carrying them offensively. Let's give Marcus smart a lot of credit. He's not getting enough. People aren't talking about what he's doing at both ends of the floor. Defensively, he's been unbelievable for them. And on top of that, because of all the double teaming on Luca and when Reeves dries and penetrates him knocking down big time three point shots. You know, when he was with Boston and when he was winning defensive player, he almost is reverting back to that Marcus smart. So I think guys are starting to understand. They're getting something out of Deandre, eight in the middle, something that we hadn't seen all season.

39:46So guys are starting to figure it out. But at the end of the day, Theodore, the Lakers are going to be judged by their defense. And last night, how they played defensively in that win on the road, in Houston in a huge game with, you know, there's only a half game, a game separating them. I know they play again on Wednesday, which will be another big time game. But the Lakers are starting to, there's always expectations with the Lakers. Just like with Boston, there's always going to be expectations to win. And we dissect every single thing they do because one has 18 championships, the other one has 17. That just comes with the territory of playing with one of these blue blood NBA franchises. The SGA foul baiting, you know, some players have brought this up as a player who did this. And, you know, openly admits that he did it. What does the NBA do about the way SGA plays if anything?

40:49I don't get it. I don't understand what foul baiting is. We didn't say this about MJ and MJ went to the line 10 plus times. James Harden was in that same category, went to the line 10 plus times. Yannis, I don't understand this. You play the game and you try to take advantage of whatever rules or how they're calling the game. Games change from night to night. I know there's a general consensus of how you're supposed to play. But you have different officials each and every game. He is not, what do you call it? Rage Baton and Vray foul baiting, foul baiting every single night. That's it. He's attacking the defense. Are some calls questionable? Absolutely. But I just don't get it why he gets called out all the time. Last night. Jalen Brown has been, you know, calling this out all the time. He shot 21.

41:49Sorry. Well, maybe he's learning from SGA. How to bait. Thank you. Learn and adapt. Learn and adapt. That's what you've got to do. Okay. I brought this up and I got some criticism that I thought that maybe SGA is kind of a younger DeMar de Rosen. Now, DeMar de Rosen has almost 27,000 points. Not exciting, methodical, consistent, going to get you 20 at least, which is what SGA gives you. And future Hall of England. Yes. Now, we don't talk about anything else with SGA except for scoring. Nobody brings up passing. Nobody brings up defense. Nobody brings up any of that. It's just he is a bucket. He is going to score on anybody. And I thought, DeMar de Rosen has been doing this. He hasn't done it for great teams. Maybe not that anywhere near the level of SGA is an MVP, but is that a fair offensive comparison

42:56between DeMar de Rosen and SGA? It's fair, but I will say this. He's just not a bucket SGA. He's been top five in steals. So he does play defense. He is a two-way player. Okay. And he leads his team in assists. So he does distribute the rock. Why is he getting all this hate to me? Well, that's not a hate. That's not a hate. I'm just saying we always look at a comp. I don't know who the comp is for SGA. We do that for all of these players. Now, certain players, there isn't a comp. Like Joker, there is no comp. Right. Yannis, there is no comp. Well, if DeMar de Rosen is the comp to SGA, I'll just ask you this. If you flip flop them and you put DeMar on that OKC team, do they win a chip? Are they 54 wins right now? If you just flip them right now, or even make it a younger DeMar, because DeMar is a little bit older.

43:56Are they still winning the chip with DeMar? And is SGA and is Sacramento better? Well, they would be better, but they're not winning anything. But if DeMar was in OKC, I think that OKC team is that good. That he wouldn't be, you know, another thing is SGA is a great closer. I mean, we haven't seen DeMar de Rosen in games where you go. Oh, DeMar de Rosen is a great closer to him. Well, he just hadn't played in big games where we notice it. With SGA, we did see it. So maybe it is a, it's men is a compliment, but it's just because they're mid-range that get to the hoop. Nothing fancy. Just it's kind of like they just go about their business. And both are bucket getters. Don't get me wrong. People need to understand. Remember DeMar de Rosen when he was in Toronto. When he was in Toronto, he was a straight bucket getter. And again, the whole trade for Kauai. And he wouldn't, he just hasn't been on the national stage long enough for people to understand that.

44:57But remember 27,000 points in the NBA. Yeah. I know. We always need to remember that. All right. Who surpasses at a bio? Yeah. Bam out of bio is 83 points. Who can? Yes. How many players you think could get 84 points or more? I think Luca could. I believe Ant-Man could. I believe a Jason Tatum could. But things will have to fall into place. And again, I know you and I were probably going to go there on this conversation with Bam. I talked about this Sunday night about Spulstra and Bam. The criticism kind of taken for how they got to the 83. You're a shooter. You were a score, theodore. And I want Paulie as I'm talking to look this up. If you got 31 at the end of one.

45:59If you got 43 at halftime. I believe he had 70 early in the fourth. Am I correct on that, Paulie? It's 64 after three. He had 64 after three. 70 with like nine or 10 minutes left in the fourth. Are you kidding me? You have to at least attempt to go for it. By any means necessary. Well, at that point, you can't accidentally get 64. You can't do it in a gimmicky way. Right. He didn't do that. There was no gimmicks to the 64. So now from 64 to 83. That's where he gets a little murky or muddy. But I do not care. I know in the fourth, he was only like one of six from the field. And most of those points came from the free throw line. Correct? Yeah. No problem with, you know, the wizards are the ones who should be embarrassed. Thank you.

46:59Not bad. I'm out of bio. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. And I did ask him this. I said, did you think about stopping at 81? Because your idol, Kobe had 81. He said, no. No. Because Kobe would want me to go for it. No. If it was reversed, Kobe's blowing by 81. And people think, you know, when I said that, that I was hating on Kobe, I would never hate on Kobe. And his accomplishment, it uplifts that performance. To me, it uplifts what Kobe did. Him getting 83. I mean, that's unbelievable for them to be one too. We're not going to look at Kobe's 81 and forget about it. It was two totally different games. Kobe needed every one of those 81. Yeah. In that performance versus Toronto. Bams was a little different. But in five, 10, 50, are we even going to be talking about that?

47:59We're just going to look at the stat sheet and say, oh, my God. Damn, that a bio had 83 kudos. 83. I know. Come on. But as he said, he goes, look, I didn't fit the agenda. Because I said, why does it feel like you have to apologize for getting 83? And he said, because you don't expect me to get those numbers. And therefore, people have a problem with it. Like, he had to do it in a gimmicky way. Right. And that's why you should almost reverse it. We should be celebrating him. Like, oh, my God. A guy that never ever gets the shot. It's been a great defensive player. A great team guy, a rebounder defender has a lot of gold at the Olympics for our nation. We should be celebrating, Bam. Like, this is great. I don't care how you got it, Bam. Congratulations. Because you'll probably never ever have his career. High was what? 41 time? Once? Yeah. So why can't we celebrate? I don't care how we got it. You got it. Okay.

48:59But we'll break that. Two, I always thought if you were going to beat Kobe's, you had to be able to shoot the three. Right. You had to be ball dominant. You had to be able to create your shot. And the game had to be close. It had to be competitive. And so I see Luca as a guy who could go for that. I can't. Yeah. I mean, he's got the talent to do it. At. I think Tatum shoots a, and that's the reason. Like, but you have to want to do that. You have to have a coach who lets you do that. You don't go out on the floor and go, I'm putting up 70 tonight. You just get into a rhythm where you go. All right. I got a good game going. Look, and also too. And I saw this, you know, Kobe at one time had a 60 point through three and was up big and. He shut out. Sat out. Yeah. Play Thompson had the same thing. He had 60 through three and was sat out. I think a young Stefan Curry, a 28 year old Stefan Curry, not 38.

50:00I think a 28 year old Stefan Curry in today's game, the way everyone's shooting, you know, how he, the way he approached the game, could get 84. It's just crazy. It is crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. You look at the point totals, Reg. Teams get one 30 and lose. Do you remember in the 90s and early 2000s, coaches saying we can't give up 30 point quarters. 30 point quarters. That's, you got four minutes left in the first. That's standard practice. No, standard now. Well, for a while, it was first team to 100 or first team to 90. Lawyers law. Right? First to 100. That was bad. No. It's nothing. It's a nightly basis. Caves and the bucks, 80s turn on NBC and peacock. Thank you, Reggie. Good luck to your UCLA Bruins in the tournament. Let's go. Men's and women. Well, men's and women.

51:01For the Bruins. Men's and women's. All right. Let's do it. That's Reggie Miller, the Hall of Famer. Imagine never having to buy gas again. It's true. It's real. And it's here right now.
