We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it.
We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions.
Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but you know. Tired and sick. Tired and sick.

Chapter 2: What issues are facing the Oklahoma City Thunder after their elimination?
I understand. Like, if San Antonio didn't win, I don't know if I'd say it's a disappointing season. OKC is defending champs. Home court advantage? Yes. You didn't even make it to the finals. Dylan, what's the poll question for the first hour?
Chapter 3: How did the San Antonio Spurs perform in the Western Conference Finals?
Phone calls. We'll get to those. Best and worst of the weekend. What do you have? Well, going off that, we can ask the people, was the Thunder season a failure? Yes, SGA is right, or no, they got to do Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals. Okay. Yeah, I would say it's a disappointment. Here is Shea Gilgis on just how well the Spurs played.
Shay, you guys had some opportunities to kind of take control of this one. What did you see as kind of the differences in not being able to kind of get over the hump and wrestle control completely away?
Yeah, they were just a better team tonight from start to finish. And then every time we tried to like cut into it and take control of the game, it felt like they had an answer. And a lot of times it felt like it was like tough shot making. So that's up to them. Yeah, they played better tonight, and they deserve to win again.
Yeah, take an ownership of it. It's not on him, but as a leader, he'll take it.
Chapter 4: What factors contributed to the Thunder's disappointing season?
And the Game 7 loss to San Antonio, the NBA has now gone eight consecutive seasons without a repeat champion. This is what you want. If you're the NBA, you want more blood, new blood in there, and you got it. I get the international part of this with Wemby. You get New York City. You get a team in San Antonio. Might be viewed as an underdog, even though they're the favorites.
The Knicks with the crowd, with the garden. This is what you want. You want to have these matchups, and you got it. So the NBA, this is like the Dodgers-Yankees last year. Like, this is what you want. You just hope that it lives up to that billing. Yes, Dylan?
Chapter 5: How does Chet Holmgren's performance impact the Thunder's future?
The Knicks actually have the opportunity to make a special kind of history, Dan. They could be the first team in NBA history to win the NBA Cup and the NBA Finals in the same season. Yeah, Michael Jordan never did that. No, he did not. No, he didn't. Yes, Paul? And we were here for that, Dan. I'm glad you stuck around for that. Yeah, I wasn't going to retire until somebody did that. Yes, Paul?
Going back to SGA saying the season was a failure, he said it and he volunteered it.
It's like, it's okay, he volunteered it. Was it three years ago, 2023? Giannis was asked, was this season a failure? And it's different if you're asked it than if you volunteer it and take control of it. How so? It's okay for SGA to say it, to volunteer it, because he believes it. But when a journalist says it to Giannis, it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's for us to judge.
Oh, that's true. Who are you talking hairdo to say was it a disappointment? Yeah, you're right about that. But I do think the Giannis sweepstakes, does Golden State get involved in this? I guess you've got to say, do the Lakers get involved in this? But what's it going to take if, I mean, Milwaukee needs to move on. The question is, what would it take to get Giannis? And what is Giannis now, 34?
He's a little bit older than what people think. Might be 34, but to be able to get him for a couple of years, and I think OKC has to look at this and say, do we want this? How does it work? A lot of times when you go, oh, they should go get that guy. Giannis is 31. They should go get that guy. Well, you've got to have him. How does he figure into the lineup with a ball-dominant guard?
Because that's another thing. And if you're going to go get him, how does that change people's roles? And is Chet Holmgren there for the long haul? Or Jalen Williams? Now they're moving into big money. All right, we'll take a break. Phone calls coming up, best and worst of the weekend. Settle on our poll question. We'll talk to Sean Elliott. What was it, the Memorial Day miracle?
The anniversary was yesterday, I think, for Sean when he hit the big shot and sent them to the NBA Finals. Is that right, Marvin? It is one of the harder shots you'll ever see because Rasheed Wallace, all 7'6 wingspan of him, stretched out, and he hit that shot. Unbelievable. All right, so Sean Elliott will join us in an hour from now.
Albert Breer, the Monday morning quarterback, as we get ready. One of the worst-kept secrets is A.J. Brown getting traded from the Eagles. Is there a third team involved in this? Is it the Patriots and dot, dot, dot? And if you know what they're asking for, does somebody swoop in and say, we'll give you something even better than what the Patriots will. So a lot going on.
Glad to have you part of the program. We're back after this Dan Patrick show.

Chapter 6: What historical context is relevant for the Spurs and Knicks in the Finals?
Wemby, I do. Bob Lanier was a really good shooter. Bob Lanier is one of those big guys who wasn't afraid to take it outside and shoot. He probably underrated, too. Bob Lanier was a... And he went to St. Bonaventure, of all places. Yes, Paul? Shaq was one for 22 in his career from three-point line. Yeah. Stat of the day, stat of the day. Oh, Bob! Stat of the day, stat of the day. Here comes...
Here comes that what stat of the day. Oh, by the way, we had Nate Bargatze on Friday in his new movie, The Breadwinner. And I saw some reviews online. I don't know what happened at the box office there, but Todd said that you went to see the Nate Bargatze movie. I did. I went late Saturday afternoon with my wife and daughter, and it was a lot of fun. It was what I expected.
There'd be a lot of laugh-out-loud moments, working in some of his stand-up type of deadpan humor and his incompetence as a father and husband. I just thought that was well done. I'm happy for him, and I hope the numbers show it in the box office.
You're happy for him. I am. He seems like a really good guy, and he came on the show. He's been on the show a few times, and I'm rooting for it to do well so he'll have other movie opportunities. All right. Well, that's nice of you. Thanks. Nice of you. But is this sort of a play off of Michael Keaton, Mr. Mom?
I guess you could draw that analogy, and it's been a long time since I saw that, but I found it very refreshing, and it has maybe a few common themes, but I thought it was well done, well written. You did not see Mr. Mom, did you? I did see Mr. Mom. I just don't have a great recollection. That was a long time ago. Even though I live in the 80s, you wouldn't think I would know all that.
Michael Keaton was great in Mr. Ma. He was great. Terry Garr is in there. When he holds the baby up to the hand blower, you know, when your hand's in the bathroom, hand dryer. You put the baby's butt up there after changing baby's diaper. He was good. He was really funny in that. So regular season games before the first NBA finals, Magic 77, then Duncan, then Bird, You got Kareem, then Victor.
Then you got Shaq, LeBron. Allen Iverson is in there as well. And then Michael Jordan. Jordan was seven years in before he got to his first NBA Finals. All right. Chris in Syracuse leads us off. Best and worst of the weekend. Good morning, Chris. What do you have for us? Hey, thanks, Dan. Yeah, best of the weekend. I saw this weekend Jalen Brunson on the cover of The New Yorker.
It really illustrates the importance and relevance of New York Knicks basketball, even beyond sports fans. And as a Knicks fan, if the Knicks want to win a title, this is the year. The stars have somewhat aligned for the Knicks. Next five years, Spurs and Thunder are only going to get better. This year, I think OG Nobi can somewhat slow down a Wemby at the age of 22.
But the next five or ten years, I don't think anybody's slowing down Wemby.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of the Spurs' young talent for the future of the NBA?
I think it might be the style of play. It's not exciting. Great home court, SGA. He's out there hunting for fouls. I don't know if there's the tune-in factor, maybe. And, you know, you kind of go, I have to watch the Thunder because these are big games. This is to win the Western Conference Finals, or they're in the NBA Finals. I think that factors into it.
I went through this with the Spurs, where people would be like, Spurs again. Instead of looking at how great the Spurs were to be able to maintain, sustain that, we tend to get style points. There are certain teams that you want to see. Although Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, I think people grew tired of that. We're really quick to move on.
I don't think we embrace the villain the way we once did. San Antonio will get to that point if they get really consistent here. That's what happens. And if you're really good, then all of a sudden it's like, okay, we've seen this. Now what's next? I mean, this is how we consume social media. This is how you watch a TV show, a streaming or a movie. You're like, you pause it and you move on.
You come back to it. It's 15 minutes. As Andy Warhol said, 15 minutes of fame. And it feels like that's what you have. It's like, all right, I'm going to watch. You better be good. You better be interesting. And it always helps when you have a foil. That a lot of times, you know, Lennox Lewis was a wonderful fighter. He just didn't have somebody so you could have these trilogy fights.
I mean, Tiger really needed one, even though he was so individually fantastic that there was nobody who could stand up to him. But, like, Frazier had Ali. And Frazier needed Ali. Because without Ali, Frazier is just a great heavyweight. Now you won one of the biggest fights in the history of the sport. You've got to have that. Pete Sampras didn't really have that foil.
These tennis players with Djokovic and Federer and Nadal, they had each other, and that made it great. It's a rivalry, and that's what you want. You want to have a villain. At least I do. I want to have the team that's great. I want to have everybody trying to knock off that team. Because we don't see greatness on a consistent basis as much as we used to. And there's reasons for that.
Players move around. They have the freedom. You can't afford too many stars on your team. But when you do have that magic, you want to see it unfold. You want to see it to completion, to fruition. Yes, Dylan. I was just thinking, the Tim Duncan Spurs era, were they ever really viewed as villainous?
I mean, I was younger then, but it seems like they just won consistently and didn't really bother anyone. They were just boring to people. When you're best players, I've said, he's known as the big fundamental. Not exactly tuning in for highlights of that. Pete Sampras, you know? He was unbelievably athletic, but didn't display a personality. Not really a flair for anything.
Like, Jimmy Connors had flair, and McEnroe had flair. Even Agassi had flair. Like, that's sort of what we... We want to see what we haven't seen. That's why we were fascinated with Tiger. Is Tiger a better golfer than Jack Nicklaus? Probably not. More exciting? Absolutely. I mean, Tiger and Arnie would be more of an apt comparison of, oh, my God, who's that guy? But that's what you want.
