We have no idea where he went he took the day off so my man Myron made calf is hanging out with me today bro we appreciate you hanging out with us Dr having a massage or like you went to a 101215 hours a radio today and I got along when I got out another shot of this man but hey it could be working before work you know yelling at us on the Twitter that Marty Smith e.s.p.n. At Med cafe me d.c. a L f by e.s.p.n. Metcalf by e.s.p.n. At e.s.p.n. Radio and hit us with your hash tag hillbilly headlines we're going to read in the last segment of the show and we have some doozies. People to do some really stupid things and we like to give them their due we like to shout them out for their stupid actions because it makes my Saturday fulfilled when we can extend you 8 excellence and we got we got a good one I mean the stuff we have coming up like Larry it's my Laris. It's time for straight talk to you bust right talk wireless best phones best networks have to call Sears or straight talk everybody so my daughter Mia my middle child turned 8 back in late April right at the end of April and Lenny and I got around finally today to hosting her birthday party her birthday party so it's like 15 little 8 year old girls at this it's one of those like moms get drunk and places it's called wound by design so we have these little 8 year old girls in there no we're not servants and there's an instructor up there teaching them how to paint and after about just blew out of there to come do the radio program here and after 4 or 5 brushstrokes you realize they are probably not then go. You know what we're trying and I love the concept they are definitely try and I'm from Wisconsin Marty So when you say you know mom get drunk and paint it was kind of we call it have Thursday I was going to say every day for you just Thursday you get rid of pain just Friday in Wisconsin you know that is every single day and we have we'll talk some ball later in the show with p.j. Carlesimo and I get some insight him on what's going on with the n.b.a. Playoffs it's amazing to me Myron what what Braun is doing already knew that he was elite you know all of these other players have won M.V.P.'s. You know Russ this year was lights out but it's amazing to me that it seems every year at this time of year Le Bron can go to another level and you tell me you've been around a game a lot when have you seen him at this level. I don't I don't know that I have I mean it was a stretch when they won the title in Miami one of those years he was really good that Osama bin year where you know he leaves Cleveland to the chad to the Championship to lose the Senate Tony but I mean they get to have a disk is what you don't expect Marty is for 32 year old to get better but that's not supposed to happen and I think that's right amazing amazing Brad Stevens said that right yes I recall I think Coach Stephen said look when I got in the league 34 years ago whatever he said I don't know the specifics of the quote but he's really good and he's that much better than that now I didn't think he could be better than that he's that much better than that now so when your peers are astounded by the level of play it tells you a lot and liberal and actually addressed that in a press conference listen to what he said. About It also toes we have another level he looked at me crazy but. We got another level as well as well as we played and I do still some things we're going to do better than a couple we had a few. Bad turnovers office with that we can do better we had a couple this years defensively we go smoke you know a smoke in place see what us right now I. Suppose he's. Like we're headed in a direction head right now. They won by like $45.00 or something one letter of $7231.00 it have to have met like come on that is I want to know the level so that begs the question I have said for several years now and I would love your thoughts on this and we would love your thoughts on this those of you listening. I think you know I think the greatest athlete in my lifetime straight up athlete is above Jackson best athlete in my lifetime love bronze way up there and his and his size with his agility. You know the shooting touch all of those things the aggression when it when it's necessary Yeah I just feel like he's way up that list man what do you think you know it's like your bow would have given us 10 years right but we both go he was a but if he would have stayed healthy for a decade and been able to do what he did before the injury set in that's what we're watching with a brand now why does a guy who probably since 20062007 has been the best player in the n.b.a. It continues to get better Marty how was he not to be peak at it how does he get left off that list Well I think that's one reason that you're seeing Well I think that's one reason we're seeing what we're seeing and it's always interesting to me when athletes. Especially late ones who feel snubbed in their soul try to convince us they're not feeling that way because they all whether it's you know a Tom Brady and you think Tom Brady still in Hang on 199 because he is you know Aaron Rodgers you think he's still not hanging on 24 because he is you know the greatest find a way on something to be pissed off about and Le Bron found his this you know I'm not a top 3 player Ok let's show you. And man is he doing just that. For some reason seems like we get tired of greatness but we have a chair of the great players and you mentioned Brady you know what happened with Brian. And it's almost like you know we want to see some new blood we want to see someone else and I think in a way that's what happened with Le Bron He's been good for so long you just assume there have to be other candidates you know quiet Mormon in the beer staff Mormon m.b.p. Whatever the case may be that guy has to be on the list every year because every year he's at the very least a candidate and I think the other thing Marty is you can tell me that in b.p. Means best player in the league if the Browns not on your list that that's not what this conversation is about because he is not just the best player in the league right now Marty he's only fighting one man and one man only I think for the greatest of all time what does that mean I would say about what do you think Kobe would say about that I mean I totally understand what you're saying it's a great debate to have is a real fun to bait over Kobe years yeah but I mean I think Kobe would have a little some to say about that but I mean to me that's that would be my top 3 and any you know anybody old is driving down the highway right now I would have us on or go on Wilt Chamberlain be over South Korea magic Yeah that's all fair that's why it's such a tremendous debate it's so hard to debate heiress you compare arrows no matter the sport because athleticism change rules change if you will if you you talk to Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson and Larry Bird about Steph Curry and Le Bron and those gassed they say that he would have made it in there if you asked them because they were going was so much more physical than it is now that's not my words don't get mad at me I'm just telling you that's the way that era feels about the game they play to get in the way more of that coming up here that was straight talk wireless nationwide coverage of America's largest and most dependable networks I love Myron being here we appreciate that tremendous insight from him and we'll talk way more about the n.b.a. Finals coming up another thing I want discuss is the jersey number since they retire Derek Jeter is number this week it really got me to thinking about those of us who are athletes and how our number he's always Our number here that and more coming up on Marty McGee he. I. Like 6. Yes. so call 9 to 0 machine or go to Bailie dot com now and pick up your free catalog. And. Argument. Is radio about progressive parents guests on the Marty McGee program appear at the Chopin's all performance line just like the one we have on hold right now holler at us one on the $100.00 Flowers Twitter feed at Marty Smith e.s.p.n. At Metcalf by e.s.p.n. At e.s.p.n. Radio and you hillbilly head last coming up later I'm Marty Smith in midcap and today for McGee and we're going to hit the shell pans over 4 months line right now talks and hopes coach p.j. Carr less m O's on the line imma call you coach I know they want me to call you like e.s.p.n. N.b.a. Analyst and all that stuff because you're always going to coach. Well you appreciate p.j. Work save whatever you don't. Coach will get into the n.b.a. Playoffs in just a moment I know that's what they pay you for but what show you this was a 7th grade. I was doodling in class Mr Compton class and you know who drew a drug up flying through the air ducking a basketball you know it was Johnny Morton. That's a good little Marie that's a really good memory I appreciate their morning star Marcy John a little know it's not forgot what I mean you had some players by acting Terry to hair did you have Danny Hurley too yes he did a lot all he really really good would jump or he had to do with. What's going to rise you give up oh boy George over time but you know Rob it's one of the better better Final Fours people ever are you really played super you know I remember those teams Well me and you know you guys really inspired a bunch of us from the middle of nowhere in the concert so. We're also going to talk about the dream team later but let's get to the point at hand let's get to the playoffs. What we were talking about Le Bron moments ago coach and how great players the league players transcendent players no matter the sport always find a reason to find another level when it really really matters even when they try to tell you they can't win Have you seen Le Bron James play at the level he's playing right now. Not ever and actually we do Jewish statement because of what he's accomplished over the years but he's playing right now I mean the 2 games in Boston and again you know a couple in Toronto not to be was good at in the 1st round gets to be at a but I mean it's absurd exactly what you're talking about how guys who are the best to be good ways find another gear find another level because they're so super motivated and it was always funny like what if back when I was coaching college and d.g. Was a perfect example I got a chance to work with those guys a little bit and I saw firsthand what the work ethic of a Michael Jordan or the shooters are it always Mark you know I was always marvel at after practice the only guys who say you have to be sure the best shooters on the team all the guys you need to practice they leave early they don't get there early and the game practice is over there's Chris Mullin and Patrick Ewing and Larry Bird in the shoot for another half hour and as we bumped around at someone like we went from San Diego to forelimb money Carlota eventually to Barcelona as soon as we get to a place those guys would want to know like when was the gym available outside practice time or if we did practice Come on would want to know where the wait will was David Roberts was reacting to marriage we want to know where the track was I mean it was absurd and like I got back my college guys are so sick that listening to me as a man you guys don't understand you don't get it as the best in a world of what they do and edition to the ability obviously credible God given ability but they just do more which there's a ton of guys in the n.b.a. With a lot of challenge but they just don't work the way the Le Brons do or Jim Duncan did or Colby I mean those guys just separate themselves quite Leonard's the perfect example I mean how much Isa grooved already at a young age of which is a different player he is the one he gave me the league and it's it's really amazing to watch it 1st and see that work pay off. Coach mine I'll call you coach as well when you when you're in the locker room when your team is down 72 to 31 the way the Boston Celtics were down against Cleveland what like what do you say I know coaches are experts in explaining situations even when they seem impossible but what can you actually say to a team and that situation you say plane leaves tomorrow 2 o'clock. And get out it is quick as you can hear is absolutely not. My 1st pro job I was with for the for 3 years a Deckard or my great staff I did Carter Rick Carlisle Johnny Davis of Mr Turner but because it was the sage better coach so many years of college at it up close it is to say to be sometimes like Dizzy do I was like look at my jobs ready to spring for ready to say suck it go tell them what's on the buses let's get out here and that was it you write a little greater put 10 o'clock on the board Let's go guys Brit there was not been I don't say watch it but I said if that last night what are the flight was this afternoon let's get to Cleveland and regroup. Coach it's really difficult to compare errors in sports and I were discussing that last segment because rules change the games more you know was more physical back in the day if you ask the guys that played back in the day you know you coached Yeah you know those in those early to mid ninety's n.b.a. Playoffs against Jordan and all those jazz and imagine. It is difficult for you to compare those areas but I want to compare players all of us want to know Michael or Le Bron and how do they compare and how would you rank them. I still give my goalie edge I do it simply because of the Rings I'm probably a little prejudice I may have. You know them both very well known Michael obviously a longer time going back to college and of trying to make you trip certainly but the Olympic experience and coach may get trying to coach against them and you know couple golf games and I just think the range of the the only way you can separate because terms of the way they dominate is the way they. Are in a good sense intimidated every player in the league that there will to win and what they accomplished in the consistency with which they did it in the way they just got their teammate so many They almost forced their teammates to play better they just demanded a level of excellence that made their teams better but I you only reason I get I mean I love both of them don't reason I give Michael a slight edge is he's got 6 right on his you know years ago when people were saying that because Or you could tell on his was clearly wanted to press 234 pick a number of all time even when he was young and I see you can't compare He hasn't played as long he didn't win as many rings he you know he didn't accomplish some of these things least each year he's just taken off one or 2 more things off that list and about the only one left right now is Rings and he you know even if he gets so that I don't know what I'd probably just say hey what can we call it a tie with these 2 I mean you know how much better can you get but he is absolutely incredible and he's I mean we were saying that but it's funny you talk about different eras I watched most of the last 2 games in a little office in the garden where I didn't watch it out there I watched sort of watch t.v. I watched it with Tom Heinsohn be any engineer you got a couple of obviously different eras right there and it's really interesting to hear them talk about we were talking about John applejack And you know comparing the different eras but he's you can't put it you know it's one and want to say I really think that and whereas years ago I was adamant said you. Compair it's not fair there's 2 big gap there's not too big a gap anymore all you're doing is. All I'm doing is separating my ring some people don't accept that they said that's not fair but that's my distinction right now they're the 2 best I've ever seen and the only way I can separate it was by the regs they've just belated Myron Macao here fill in and I fry McGee here on our Marty McGee the spires out of the wood choir one of the chances have been if they have get in the game here oh yeah oh did the game know they can do that it's not going to surprise me if they come up with a really special efforts and I don't think it will be like Game 2 but. It's they certainly were not the favorites but you know I'd go back if they beat him 5 times in the last 3 years the only team if he towards Moore was the Cavs obviously they beat him to out of 3 Visioneer I know people say Well guys you play to stay guys that play that game but it doesn't matter they have had more success against gold state than anybody other than the Cavaliers they match up very well against them and they were up 23 points in Golden State's building when choir went out so no one will ever convince me that it wouldn't a band there couldn't have been a pretty competitive series but I can't see how them. They can be I'm certainly 4 out of well what's left 5 left for but but if I was just playing it quite could be healthy in place I think I would love to have seen you know both teams that are close to full strength in game 3. Coach thank you so much for joining us we really appreciate your insight b.j. Carr less Samoa Thanks Coach having a hard time here which is why you playoffs are on e.s.p.n.

Am Doug Brown the Warriors and Spurs meet in San Antonio tonight for game 3 of the Western Conference Finals Spurs forward Co I learned is out with his left ankle injury warriors Center's Zaza Pachulia is out with a bruised right heel golden state leads the series 2 games to none the Warriors are 10 and No in these playoffs so are the Cavaliers that is field some critics that the postseason is too predictable Here's the n.b.a. Commissioner Adam Silver It's not a concern I think that we should be celebrating the excellence of the people already annoyed in these teams say as dominate and and franchise teams but on the other hand I look at the Golden State Warriors that have the want to championship in 40 years the Cavaliers of course won last year and had never won a championship before and this leads me as you know you look back at the historic franchise in this league Celtics were 1
