There's no way you yank him, no matter how much you want to go to Colin Kaepernick.

You can't yank him if Alex Smith wins the Super Bowl.

You can't take out the reigning Super Bowl champ QB midseason to see what the kids got.

NBA, I'll just throw them out for you, Zaz, a couple.

You got Magic, Akeem.

By the way, I'll stop right there, actually.

Akeem is interesting because Michael Jordan goes third in that draft.

Sam Bowie goes in between famously or infamously from the Wildcats, goes to the Trailblazers.

Is Akeem...

Can you consider him the best first overall if he wasn't even the best player in his class?

I think, first of all, back to the Jordan part of it, if you redrafted, if you said, we now know what these guys are all going to turn into when you're drafting Houston Rockets first overall, they would take Michael Jordan.

They wouldn't take Akeem Olajuwon, even as great as Akeem was and great member of the community and everything else.

Akeem is beloved there in Houston, Texas.

I think they would take Jordan.

I'm not trying to make a case against Akeem.

And by the way, one of my hottest takes that I sincerely believe, and I've taken this to a number of guys on the Houston Rockets and Chicago Bulls over the years, the best thing that ever happened to Michael Jordan was that retirement for those two years.

Because if he would have had to play the Houston Rockets, his legacy would have been dented by the fact that he would have lost one of the NBA finals.

Akeem...

That is the antidote to those Bulls teams of the 90s was a guy who could score in the middle against them.

The three-headed monster that they were throwing at people would not have been able to do anything to slow down Akeem Olajuwon.
