Berkeley and indeed we're going to talk about the players coming out of high school in a college where they should be able to go right into the N.B.A. Or not so we'll continue that conversation with him and then Larry Holmes will be with us as well one of the all time great heavyweight champions he grew up in eastern Pennsylvania became known as the Eastern assassin and he once said it's mind boggling Whoever thought Larry Holmes a little kid from Cuthbert Georgia gets a big monument on a street named Larry Holmes next to Larry Holmes enterprises and they've erected that statue in Pennsylvania for him he had a career record of 69 wins 6 losses 44 knockouts he reigned is the heavyweight champion from 1988 to 1905 and he is also one of the only 5 men to defeat Mohammad Ali and he defended his title 20 times which is 3rd all time behind Joe Louis and Vladimir Klitschko and then next hour coming up talking some baseball you know this name David Wells he pitched 11 seasons in the majors with 9 teams he's considered to be one of baseball's best left handed pitchers especially during his years when he was with the Yankees in the Toronto Blue Jays he pitched the 15th perfect game in baseball history and he want to World Series championship with not only to Rondo but also with the Yankees as well and he grew up in San Diego and he was a self described gym rat So we'll talk about that aspect of his life as well so ready to crank it up good to have you with us here on Sports Byline.

For any kind of project. What's the catch. Is completely. I'll check it out. The. Sports USA. Time to check in with Roy in a segment we call each week inside angle as Roy and I take a look at some of the issues in sports give you a different perspective because Roy has been a lawyer president of the Oakland A's when his family owned the team and now teaches law and sports at U.C. Berkeley while the N.C. Double a tournament the seedings are going to be done on Sunday and of course will start getting into the action seriously next week that is a big deal obviously but the money that is generated by it is the money that really drives college sports and particularly college basketball your thoughts on that ROY Yeah when you talk about money the N.C. To a reported earnings last year of over $1000000000.00 and it was like $1200000000.00 something in the rain. And almost all of that comes from the tournaments a lot of that of course filters down and goes to the schools based partly in what conference are in and partly on how far the individual teams go in tournaments so it's a big money maker for the schools it's a big money maker for the. N.C. 2 way and the T.V. Stations but guess who doesn't make any money off the players the people who are actually watching. That's my thought yeah and I agree with the end along those lines Steve Kerr has been very outspoken mainly because the media has asked him and he tends to talk about things other than just basketball meaning the game he offered another way to help young players he said one of the things the N C W needs to look at is if a kid signs with an agent and he doesn't get drafted welcome him back why not what's the harm we talk about amateurism and all this stuff but if you're truly trying to do what's right for the kid and the kid declares for the draft doesn't get drafted you know what WALK ON HIM BACK do something good for the kids don't keep this ruse going Why has this been is a tradition that has really kept this going this way because any other business any other aspect of life like this it would not be run this way yeah I don't know whether I think tradition is too kind of a word but I want to I want to scroll back a little bit because I agree with Kurz comments for several reasons 1st of all. As you say what what's the big deal no harm no foul it's not like he's taking you know product endorsements or something but secondly now with the way the N.B.A. Is structured if you're drafted in the 1st round years salary is set by a formula if you're drafted in the 2nd round you're Saori and so forth are set less quite set but still set by a formula so there's very little added value that agents can provide during the 1st 4 years of and really a player's contract so really the agent starts to bring their value to the player after that period expired it may become free agents so the it's not even though it's a big monetary deal more at the agents or devising the players in many cases whether or not to go into the draft because if you go into the draft you get drafted 3rd or 4th round Well you know that's really not a good deal you're probably better off. Standard school so that's the kind of advice are you having and you can go hire a lawyer to give you that kind of advice and it doesn't violate the rules so I think the whole rule about agents is is arcane and along with a couple other things around and be a it oughter be deep sixed I think one of the other problems I think the colleges are worried about whether they're going to have a talent pool since most of these players coming into college know they have to go for at least one year before they can play in the pros and that is what they want to do they want to play in the pros so I think they're concerned about having the players that will be able to play at the college level if they don't have that type of requirement Yeah that's right I completely agree and that raises the whole question of the one and done rule on whether that rule makes any sense Yeah let's talk also about the comments made by Pac 12 commissioner Larry Scott he says he's going to push for an end to the one and done rule and the Pac 12 panel will recommend to cancel Liza Rice and her panel her task force at the N.C. Double A on the rivalry scandal and he said we're going to recommend the N.B.A. And the N.B.A. Players Association change the one and done rule to give young men a choice to go straight to the N.B.A. Out of high school and if the pact Well recommendation is adopted he said those who choose to go to college would have to stay at least 3 years as has been the case for many years in baseball I think baseball has got it right and I think he's right about that and I'm just wondering since it is being done in football and baseball at the college level doesn't it make common sense to do it at basketball. Yes either. Because football you can't go out of high school right you still have to go to college that baseball you can be drafted out of high school so that's a very liberal rule and. So the N.B.A. Struck strikes me as having chosen about the worst of many choices which is to say well you have to be 19 and when you're out of high school and you can go so what it means is these kids go to college for 6 or 7 months until the tournaments over and then they drop out and go work out getting ready for the N.B.A. Draft so I think everybody loses on this but you rightly point out that it's not the N.C. 2 way that made this rule with the Players Association and the N.B.A. So that's where it has to be changed and there are some there's some question in my mind about how easily that will happen because what you're doing is for a couple years you're suddenly putting a greater influx of young player talent into the N.B.A. And some of the players who are you know the 7th or 8th or 9th guy off the bench may not be that interested in having increased player competition so it's not going to be a slam dunk I was reading an article about Joe lake he of course along with Peter Guber they bought the Golden State Warriors and traded that turn the tran franchise into a championship franchise and it was interesting he was speaking down at Stanford in a sports innovation conference and he talked about the worst day in his life since he owned the team it was March the 20th 2012 and he it was a week after the franchise traded guard Monta Ellis to Milwaukee in a multiplayer deal that brought the Warriors an injured center Andrew Bogut and he said it was probably the single worst moment of his life he said I returned 400 e-mails that night the next morning he told a radio talk show I would have booed me too now I was at the arena when he was booed and I can just imagine somebody who was a captain of industry let's call it that because he's been certainly very successful to be able to buy a team. All of a sudden they lose control of things that they controlled in their normal life tell me a little bit because well you were the president of the Oakland A's Well you put your finger on a huge thing Ron and that is a lot of people who are successful in other forms of life because they are smart or they're clever they their timing is good I think that they and I'm not talking about the copier specific I'm term generally they think they can buy a sports team and do the same thing yeah you know just will the outcome and it is amazing how many owners I've watched kind of go down the frustration and go over God I did only thing is I did all these things I paid these guys and everything and we finished last what is you know and it's just a completely different world and it takes a really a character logical shift for owners to understand they cannot control the outcome they can do everything they can do to make the opportunity to win exist but they cannot make the team win and that's a big problem for a lot of owners Yeah they can control the success of their normal business that they had any other thing they can't control and you and I have talked about this for years is the the media coverage that they get if they were in a normal company they can control what information is given out but when it comes to the media and the speculation and talk shows and everything it's got to drive somebody who's very wealthy and wealthy enough to buy a sports team crazy or interested in factual covered because yes you know we all tolerate I think in sports journalism a little broader. Screen when it comes to rumor and and suggestion you know that the Hot Stove League suggestions about male maybe this team is going to trade this guy you know becomes a big story and everybody talks about it and a lot of fun and for to become kind of entertaining in that way so the adherence to facts is always a knock. It is important as if you're talking about. Clinical trials on a new drug so. That also drives a lot of people crazy because they can't control the way their story goes into the media we have about 35 seconds left but I just wonder what the sense of satisfaction is for somebody who owns a team because only one team and whatever sport it is is going to win the championship Yeah you know you you're right and you know the good side is you start off and tied for 1st season but then only one team is left standing at the end Well I've talked to people in sports and I say do you get the same joy out of all when you do the agony of a loss and they say no way I'm so devastated by a loss and a win is fine but I know there's the next game and so I kind of assimilated it's a it's a strange psychology because it's the way it works yeah it's an interesting dynamic good input this week right take care we'll talk to you next week thanks again Roy eyes and heart lawyer president of the Oakland A's now teaches law and sports at U.C.

This is America's sports talk show Sports Byline USA Here's run by. Larry Holmes joins us on Sports Byline one of the all time great heavyweight champions who grew up in eastern Pennsylvania and he became known as the east an assassin and he has been honored with a 9 foot bronze statue that captures his famous left jab and Larry once said it's mind boggling Whoever thought Larry Holmes a little kid from Cuthbert Georgia gets a big monument on a street named Larry Holmes next to Larry Holmes enterprises How did I know that little kid from Cuthbert Georgia end up in Easton Pennsylvania Larry. Well my father you know and. I don't work at that I know what. Came of it and I'm more than a thump among my dad to come up in A and. Come up and have to guess it's related to some thought us. 5 years old you know I don't remember a whole lot about what happened and what he did but maybe Tenet says and then maybe you were the 4th of 12 kids and to help support your family who dropped out of school and when you were in the 7th grade and then you went to work yourself at a car wash for a dollar an hour you later drove a dump truck and worked in a quarry that's the type of thing that steals a person's character does it not Larry I think you know I thought I was doing something that I really wanted to do at the time you are STILL HAVE Boston in my mind but that one on one end you know I was making putting the money that I meant to get back and forth and I Corey and he and I have a long hard day but he did that because it's so hot out there but you know I did what I do now you know because you know I wanted to take him myself but by the way of all the sports you could have gone into what was the attraction of boxing. Well you know I was the mathematically inclined I didn't you know football basketball baseball and I tried it all but then you know it got them out of school and. You know it took a lot of that stuff away from me well you know by using the encasing even you need to know how to fight it so you and I went for the gold in that same amount of every cancer in the world. Thanks Tony but you know I don't want to go in there and and then by I can go in the zone which I did then I want 4 championships in the growing . And going on in the next thing makes the Pro Comp so I've done. On the left that. And. Then from that. I didn't look bad. Yeah you turned professional on March 21st 1973 but early in your career you worked as a sparring partner for Mohammad Ali Joe Frazier Ernie shavers and Jimmy Young and you were paid well you certainly did learn a lot you even once said I was young I didn't know much but I was holding my own sparring those guys and I thought to myself hey these guys are the best the champs if I can hold my own Now what about later on what was it that you learn from from competing against those type of boxes or one of the things happen again happening and I got more determined Turman And you know it from them and they were mom and I mean. All of the guys that are way ahead of me you know and I think I can do it you know because it was a couple years older than me and I think you know is doing this and I'm trying to get through on and I was going to every term of the world my mom and I didn't hang on only when I did take my time. In the tradition and I would do the same paddle let me ask you let me ask you about 2 of them Mohammed Ali and Joe Frazier in particular Ali of course with the great reputation the great record the great success and everything tell me a little bit about the interaction you had with him. But I did mama in the brig and you know in the camp of why not a little let me come. In and workin out and I getting a thing to talk to the newspaper guy thing ordered tortillas. And they're ready. To hand people. Like day and I and I know what I want to be like that I want to have when we had no money to be kind of a person anywhere and. I wanted to work at that that's what I did I was just going to say he had a particular style Tell me about that style. To move on a main circle around and around on and Metafont to the. You mean that I'm copy of my mom and I we have a 1000000 invited Petter a copy of. Kept you know that well enough and tell me it's not good for me to copy and the marketing company the Dow In fact I come to something and that's the way I went with it you know Mohammed Ali was a showman but when I think a Joe Frazier I think of a blue collar type of fighter am I correct in that observation. Most definitely you are correct. I mean you know I'll even pick me up in the morning I think reminded Jill Fraser. Then we need with. One thing I'm still are quite different don't talk about the same thing. To think you have that money to go around with you know I mean you never know when one of the names if you want to get away with there are not but he was always out he was always got nothing out down but not putting their faith in values but then both defend. Their own unique style that they want in they want to do they want to do things that they want to do you know go by the 5 by what they want to do because they would be gagged with a champion they really get my bill you know what's interesting about this when you take a look at it Larry is the fact that you had an opportunity as somebody that was sparring with all of these guys to be able to observe their style and when nothing was really on the line for you and I assume that that really helped you when you went up against other boxers that might either have a style like that or that you weren't actually seeing for the 1st time because you had gone up against those boxes that had that style before. If I can hold my own and. I go home I only get sentimental value homeowners don't phrase it I'm going home I only get them back and then to run I want to be that's what motivated me to go when I'm gone because I'm a OK don't as a 56 year old or me you know I'm late here I've been called they've been missed by when they get on the spot tell you I did see a kid my nose working hard and I know I came you know I learned to get down there any shaman hardy bunch of backing Kenny Norton in the autumn that does not allow the new man you know I ran up against them but you know what I was able to deliver because I had been in there with 2 friends that I have been in that I'm not really there and by going up again chambers that almost set up your You're bound against him where you were able to beat him which he gave you then the the title shot that you got eventually on June 9th 1978 against Ken Norton what type of fight was the shavers fight because I've heard other people say he was the hardest puncher they'd ever faced. And then there was doubt about that idea and then define time before bang we're going to measure this from crime in New York they grow some New York I worked in the same thinking his heart you know. It was a fight that I had to have because without me and Jim in the fight in the seventy's they would be fighting and then they want to get their own champion we had a backstop and they gave me probably to fight any citizen because I am glad I had the chance to work and then because. You know. I met and had to fight when I got the chance to pay and I know I didn't and I didn't stay on the outside so I did. Have the Right in the move along the way to dream business. Over hand Rice that he liked and I think that's what got me into a position to do that every time. You know it's interesting I covered the Ali Ken Norton fight down in San Diego and you know how that turned out Ali broke his jaw but he went the distance on that it was the 1st I think 1st loss that he had ever had to anybody and I'm just wondering about the fight you had about Ken Norton on June 1978 because that fight in at least in my mind when I looked at your career that fight might have been the toughest you ever had because it was a heavyweight championship fight it was 7 rounds apiece on the score cards and it came down to the 15th round one was that the toughest fight you ever had and to tell me about that 15th round and how you approached it. Well I thought that was one of my son's friends that I had met him in the man. And I remember had begun Ali . You know he with had the reputation nobody thinking bad body. Of a. Guy from mainland home police but the value of being very gently on the well I've been to needing to fight them and tattle attempting the when you know my you know but when that happened to me that came to me I took full advantage and I worked hard. By you know I pulled a muscle now I'm going to do a lot of training and then a lot I tell my mom and then things are going to work but then came down to when the bell rang that I'm going Well I was going to continue I had my dad I Would they were to do what I can learn was fighting for every 2nd and he wanted to keep that battle on the show today. And he was the man you know and. I respect him for that then than Even though I've lived like and now you know they go along with the and he was. But you know. That for sure because the guy is going to be a liar home. And now you know it wasn't. Meant to be because that makes today and he's the best friend of Larry Holmes as ever with us one of the all time great heavyweight champions and when we come back we'll talk about the rest of his career and his life as well he's left his mark outside the ring as well we do that as we continue across the country and around the world on sports by law.

This is America's sports talk show Sports Byline USA Here's a rundown. Larry Holmes has joined us heavyweight champion Larry tell me about the development of that powerful left jab that you had well you know I would want to have a good jab you know working with my mom and I need a sponsor and I want to be him to get I wanted to get he had to. Play involved in a high down step in the trap you ran on he built their numbers by and I had known how to get out of them but when I was by and you know my dad I'm. The one that mom because that's what I did I would still want to do puns and around it. And that made my by. Most of my fight that wind with Devon on. My right hand I am a. And I think they have and I have to 2nd that and I know I'm the one that when you've been out there and in Boston has it now these days they don't they don't get me on the run of the value and things I have that they don't know the day I was going to my kids or my I'm not in trouble you were an active heavyweight champion you defended your title 20 times which is 3rd all time behind Joe Louis and let America let's go tell me the philosophy that you took toward defending your title because sometimes we see fighters go a year a year and a half before they step into the ring again but you weren't that way did you like the repetition of defending your title. I like the letter didn't defend my title because I was making money didn't pay I was attending a ranch you know the more money more I buy the moment I would make him and I've tried to fight it is often as I can if you look back on the not some time to think 4 times a year that I was right and then I never if I could factor in buying a reason to win and to governing amount that was the main out of the bag and that was a lot of money catching never thinking that. Always going to 50 percent bracket the train over taking in Miami and everybody on the no pay 15 percent or 20 percent of your money. Make a 1000000 down enough to come home but you haven't. Had the song and like to make the money and once you make them money you got it from holding and then when you begin to develop something that you might want to do your life may go on and that's why I didn't buy them I guess and that's my. Plan. And when I would buy thing I want them and all I want to know and I want to be good at what I did and I'm going want to defer learning to do when I get Larry's record was 69 when 6 losses with 44 knockouts and how hard was it for you to separate what you had to do in the ring and the business side because you were a young kid that you know born in Georgia and raised in Pennsylvania and yet you know other people Ward are using you and are also developing the financial side of you how hard was it you to separate that. It was kind of hard because I'm lucky I was lucky I hate some people from people and I mean that then invited to take them and then a sermon on the cross of my life and then. My life reading and writing and then my understanding I got to say my money make the money. That's what I did and I'm happy to take advantage of it I have to. Try to take advantage of but at that time I had learned about back to you know they need to know and. I think that held on to more guys stayed in any other fighter. They may want and I've made I think I have I don't I'm sort of well one of the money one of the things I've always been interested in is this question Larry is it harder to become a champion or to stay a champion. Both But if the same is trying to be a champion it hides their intent isn't them and you know in your neighborhood that so many people out there then again as the accomplishment because they didn't do it that you can do it without them being think you know what it is you happen to need they don't want to give you that that how do you know when you can do that every 10 there were you know and. They have the core of Mohammad Ali the champion I never did mom out of the venue did during. A town that nobody ever heard of that. Is if I buy my Trumpington then there is going to have been a mint and told her I didn't have a champion or it's hard to maintain your cool because you're always going to find somebody had to pay you a neck it's you can do this because Mommy I was with is still playing with this with this they're about to some better being you know that you know like I say you know. I think I can be found if I don't try can one might be the greatest and I will but I'm going to try to keep it but I'll even pay and wait list I'm going to give it a shot I came along and that numerous yet another significant find in your long career was October the 2nd 1980 you defended your title against Muhammad Ali who was coming out of retirement in an attempt to become the 1st 4 time world heavyweight champion you dominated Ali from beginning to finish and you were winning every round at the end of the 10th round Angelo Dundee Mohammad's trainer stopped the fight and it would be Ali's only loss without going the distance you later talked about how emotional and difficult that was on an emotional basis because of that fight what was it about that fight that was difficult for you emotionally for remain with the reason why so much emotion because the guy helped me have the passion and I knew he couldn't be anything that we could and that was him. Don't get in my make it day by day thing. For the money and I understood that you know that me and got a lot of money and you know. Money. By me and now I mean all right now. I'm in the Saturn. And there. But I knew what I could do to Mama Nadi and knew where to get her and Mangere me he tried to anger me but I was a bum and not make me angry the money man I didn't like to. Tell you but I would do. The Dale and Jane but I have a chain now because it's over I did not hit him hard over my glove when I do present to make a move like that trying to get in and around that long. Punch an only I would have been hurt and. And you know it could be with my friend whom I know the guy again the opportunity. Then coming to get the hell out of the camp when I was trying to learn how to do that so you know what I didn't like that I could give and I was doing that when I told him I told him I'm a vegetable not that but if I let you on the friends on time and I say that you wonder good. But I don't want to burn is trying to devote time to count that because he has so many great people like my I'm now going towards drama I'm still nervous. Gaiman and like them I got so many I'm not gone they're back on the bus is that one of those big guys they need to pull for them and they had to pull one of them baseline you know it's always very interesting to me and I don't think anybody else could understand it except for somebody who is in your sport and that is coming out of retirement to fight after they've announced their retirement and Sugar Ray Leonard gave me some insight and I wonder if you can confirm this or maybe even add to it he said Ron when you're a fighter even if you're out in you've retired and everything when you're asked to come out of retirement it's a little bit like the fire horse when the bell goes off you just answer it is indeed that the situation. That if it's a race in the one day he forgot to add on that. Money to pay you get a $1000000.20 out of whatever they are pleased with the money you get a chance to get away and you have been doing something in your day long if it were good moral with the extra couple 100000 not going to end the name out of tune you know what they did and did much better and that's what I thought I did by because I want to get every chance you know were I thought to come to my. On January 22nd 1988 you were lured out of retirement for a $2800000.00 purse to challenge the reigning undisputed world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson at that time and he dominated that in the 4th round he dropped you and then a couple of other times in the the fight was stopped at that time what was it that was so difficult for you against Mike Tyson in that fight for the don't go again I will be very tiring with the tour if I had longer to get ready for the fight when the bin might get to Larry home because he sure and he get to come towards you like a job I'm like a mom and you're going to hit all data on the day. And that's what I'm going to do that might have been any of my plans I'm working but I'm going. To because like I'm straining then I had I meant to Kenyan in the band I was. Saying in the ring of my type in a coke I agree with that right hand and. If I had more time tonight I think it would've been my tank there was no home but you know I don't take anything away from him one of the great fight is on so that I don't want to play him and what I great pride because some guys that can fight that these you know understanding didn't do it you know on the timeline I mean that program out and then the whole dealin they blew them and stopping them from some of the people on the final of the fighting then I came across to make. My type serve you know when I will give them the benefit of say that he wondered did they try to promote that because in every way people talk about my guy I don't know why because of my name is awful right but then talk about my guy yeah that's the one thing I always wondered about him and maybe you can answer it was he a fighter or was he a boxer. Through a fog the fire fight to. Fight the prank fight fight fight. And 10 he end up back. In because of the fight fight fight somebody. Fight the bag and find Kagan and not just live only for dead loads you have to fight a bag in found this and with Satan and knocking them down and then when I might take a bite everybody who might take them back. Might I think that my thing is you ran from I think you don't win but as you fight I'm bad we're both a drug running from him when he's running through a knife then and there. But with the running it's tough fighting he's not my type. And that's the one thing that if this earlier but you know a lot of experts out there say they know buying or think they go back and don't they're not going to Bob I think you're talking to were integrated riders in the world right now and some sort of runners being funded that no back in the biking and. I don't but then I'm going to talk to you like guides our team because they don't know had to do that. Then But I'm telling you what it did and way and it didn't help my typing 101 when I tell you the truth we only have a couple minutes left Larry and your final fight was on July 27th 2002 when you think back on your career what is it that Larry Holmes appreciates about what he did in boxing. I appreciate everything by because I think you know brusque and I don't hurt nobody and by think I might be feeling the feeling here that I don't need it but you know. Maybe proud of my compass men with so many people in the world that I can do it I was small and they look more like and park I'm trying to be a company like mom and I wouldn't I wouldn't want anywhere and I want to start to but may I come because Dad I didn't win this thing and I couldn't do it I did enough to learn everybody's going to do something you just have to show you can do it and that's what I did I showed them that I could do it my record. But I think United when it's a lot of you know we're 44 and I thought everybody does get invited I still got some money in my pocket so you know I'm OK and I'm going in that well known to have been with that when it happened by mad a bit Larry Holmes we only have 40 seconds left but you invested your money wisely that you learned from boxing and you're still back in your hometown of Easton Pennsylvania what makes you smile when it's been nappy to begin the long I came I was that's what makes me happy because I got that I don't have to have a dime in my pocket along to have my family and my friends my real friends that's all I need Larry I want to thank you very much this has been very insightful and I followed your career I was a young sportscaster and I did some of your fights and covering them and I was always impressed not only with what you did in the ring but the gentleman you were out of the ring as well thanks a lot Larry for spending some time with us here on Sports Byline.
