Brian Windhorst was asked on the mothership, can Victor Wimbenyama be the face of a sport in the United States when he's not from the United States? And I would say quickly, Shohei Ohtani is the face of baseball. He's not from here.
And I don't know if Brian Windhorst doubted that, but I would say quickly Shohei Ohtani is the face of Major League Baseball. Wemby is on his way. And we brought this up, I think it was last week. Who is going to be more, and I don't know if we ever came up with the correct word, of Shohei Ohtani and Victor Wembenyama.
Chapter 4: What does Ryen Russillo think about Victor Wembanyama's potential in the NBA?
Like 50 years from now, you look back, who are we going to remember more? Because with Shohei Ohtani, it's just the uniqueness of being able to pitch at a very high level and, of course, hitting home runs, stealing nearly 60 bases. But there's not those singular moments. It's just the totality of Shohei Ohtani. He's a unicorn.
Well, Victor Wemby might have singular moments and the uniqueness of how he plays in both ends of the floor. And I said, you might look back on Wemby with what he did. And I wonder who is more likely. to bring about somebody who was similar to them. Like, are teams going to let somebody pitch and hit with Shohei Ohtani?
Ohtani went to the Angels in part because they were willing to let him pitch and hit. Other teams weren't. Now, you've got to find somebody 7'4", roaming the earth, and they have to be able to have a handle, coordinated, and shoot like a point guard. So, good luck finding either one. Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show.
Chapter 5: How does the conversation shift to the impact of international players in the NBA?
Poll question from the first hour, and then we'll get to Ryan Russillo of Barstool Sports. Yeah, Dan, we only had one for the first hour, and it was, who would you rather spend 24 years with, you or Todd? Would you like to take a guess at the result? No, I would not. Well, 88% say you. Yeah. It's a little lopsided. Well, I think...
There is a uniqueness to Todd, but you might tire on the uniqueness. I'm not for everyone. You're kind of like... I'm only for 12%. Like if I was going on a road trip with Zach Galifianakis... Like, I would have fun on the road trip, but I wouldn't want to get on a road trip for a couple of years after that. Yeah, that's fair.
As a regular, consistent thing, that would get annoying after a while.
Chapter 6: What are the implications of the latest NBA playoff performances?
Yes, yes, Dylan. Since we've been talking, Dan, you've lost 3% of the vote, so I don't know what happened. It's 85 now. Ryan Rosillo, host of the Ryan Rosillo Show on Barstool Sports. Where are you right now? I am in San Antonio, day two with no water in the hotel. We're low on water here, Dan. That helped. Well, you're going to have to go down to the Riverwalk to bathe.
Yeah, it looks like that's frowned upon, and I don't think I want to do it. Maybe day three, though. Times will get desperate. I'm just glad I didn't bring a girlfriend or something with me, because it would have been tough to be like, hey, we're going to go to the game, one of the finals, but you're not going to be able to bathe.
Well, you know, you could ask maybe somebody with the Spurs, could you shower? Hey, can I get there early?
Chapter 7: How do the Danettes react to the discussion on the Madden curse?
Can I shower before the team gets here? I've never thought of pulling the move of, like, I'm really interested in joining the gym. I'm moving to the community. You know, I picked up a job. I was wondering, could I just get a day pass and then shower, do some abs, and go, this isn't for me.
I mentioned that Ryan Windhorst talked about can Wemby be the face of basketball in the United States if you're not from the United States. Is he already the face of the NBA? He's already going to go into next year, I think, wearing the belt of best player in the world. There's been title holders here for maybe a couple years.
As you were talking about it, I was thinking about it because that's different than maybe being the face of the NBA to being the accepted best player in the world because of just what he does defensively on top of everything else. But how many big guys have been the face of the NBA? Shaq was. I mean, Bill Russell was or will probably were. Kareem, I'm guessing. Giannis for a little while.
Chapter 8: What final thoughts do Dan and the Danettes have about the episode's topics?
Joker for a little while. Embiid wasn't the face, even though he was an MVP. But, yeah, we usually don't single out. Like, Elijah Wan was there with Jordan, so he wasn't the face of the league.
Yeah.
But don't you think like when we're talking about face, we're talking about like a popularity thing more so than just the best single player. And I think Shaq's popularity, to your point, is like he transcended just being the most dominant big man or dominant player in the league at those times. Like he was a star. He was somebody kids were excited about.
You know, that thing that you understand in covering sports for so long, like this person that's not just an incredible performer, but also attracts all of this outside interest. And I think when Benyama can do that from a curiosity standpoint, the rule I always have is like if my mother were to walk by the TV and go, what's going on there?
And then you explain for a couple of minutes when Benyama and his backstory and the fact that they found a basketball player that basically pushes the boundaries of what we thought was possible from a human being. I think all of that, like, puts them on the path to be able to do it. But it's so...
foreign like what he is able to do and i don't mean that because he's from another country but like if you try to describe what this guy was or one day we'll have a player like this i don't know that anybody would have ever believed it but i do believe there's a personality aspect to being the face of the nba that gets all sorts of generations excited about you know the the attraction of the player and that personality yeah i still think that steph curry is the most impactful player in the history of the nba from the standpoint of
You can relate to him. Size-wise, you can relate to him. Every kid wants to shoot threes. Not everybody can be the big guy, can dunk, be Vince Carter, be 7'4". But you're around Steph Curry, and you go, that guy is doing that? Like, you couldn't be like Mike. Like, yeah, we wanted to. Nobody was going to be like Mike.
We can be in our minds like Steph Curry, and I think that impact is felt around the world. I mean, he just signed that shoe contract, what, 10 years, $400 million in China? I still think what he's doing will resonate more years from now just because he gave everybody at least that thought, I might be able to do this at a high level. You're right, because you can watch Wim Benyamin be in awe.
Nobody goes, like, hey, I'm going to do that now. No, you're not. You're not going to do that now. And I remember in the beginning with Steph where... you're talking about boundaries, I remember in the beginning thinking, is this real? And that was from a style. It wasn't that he was 7'4". I thought, is he actually going to be able to do this? Is he going to be able to take this many threes?
