It's Friday. Our boys up in Seattle taking on Australia. Been since 1930. We started 2-0.
Chapter 5: What insights does Calipari share about his coaching philosophy?
Rachel Nichols joining me. On a Friday, and she's already, I can see her putting honey in her tea. Yep. Just a little this morning. A little voice Demi Moore situation, or as one of our sound guys called it, my after hours voice. So that's what you get on a Friday morning. I don't know. Well, we'll all be hoarse after Australia at USA tonight.
Again, you got to go to 1930, you know, that we started to and own this thing. That's pre-World War II. I'll put an asterisk by those stats. Data, analytics, statistics aside, sometimes it's what something looks like and what something feels like. And last week, first half against Paraguay, that looked different. and you were all right, and you should all be optimistic. That looked different.
Chapter 6: How does the World Cup impact American soccer culture?
I mean, don't get me wrong. This has always been called soccer's the beautiful game. But we really never took part in the beautiful game thing. We were kind of defense first, set pieces. There was a way we had to win. Mostly won nothing with our goalkeepers being Superman, right? We get the occasional draw against England, a great goal occasionally.
a remarkable save, but we didn't have the rhythm or the fluidity that for the first time I watched for 90 minutes, right? Passing, skill. It looked like Spain. I know I shouldn't say that. So what is success at the World Cup for the United States? It can't be winning the cup. England's only won once. Spain's only won once, right?
Chapter 7: What are the implications of recent NBA draft discussions?
What it has to be is this. What does it look like and what does it feel like? Are we aggressive? We're Americans. We need to be. It's on home soil. A little swagger. Some grittiness. Some toughness. Again, playing and possession with purpose. I mean, we had more goals against Paraguay than we did in all of the 2022 World Cup. And by the way, it looked easy. It was one timing. Fowler and Baligan.
Oh, we've got a striker.
Chapter 8: How can teams replicate the Knicks' success with smaller players?
Pulisic may not play tonight. And for the first time ever, I'm like... And we'll be fine. I mean, we're not scoring four goals without him, but we should be fine. I mean, all comics can get a laugh.
But the good ones, there's a rhythm, there's a flow to it, and it's like they're just kind of connected to the audience more than the average comic who can write a joke, tell a joke, deliver a joke, and get, you know, a laugh.
And so for me, when I watch this, the flow of it, and Bob Bradley was on our show yesterday, the former United States men's national team coach, and he said it all starts with having our guys, and we got 13 now, that play overseas and that are flourishing and confident overseas. That only benefits the United States when they come back to play with us. Here's Bob Bradley.
If that player's not playing regularly on a club team, then his ability to come into the national team and really play at a high level goes down. So you've got to understand that making sure a player is in his best form, helping him in terms of everything that's going on with his club, those are things that are eventually going to help the national team.
And I liked how we dictated terms in terms of possession and corner kicks. We dictated terms of engagement. That is not American soccer in my lifetime. We're going to play our style and we're going to lead and we're going to be aggressive and we're going to be vulnerable on the back end. You may burn us, but we have so much confidence in our skill. We'll just score again.
And no more defensive soccer. Frankly, it's boring and ugly. Let other countries, Australia, much more our style, formerly. Currently, we are getting really close to the beautiful game that has been called forever, but we never took part in that until maybe now.
Okay, so yesterday, top of our show, we gave you coaches, scouts, people in the NBA or college that had watched Darren Peterson, who I would not take number one, despite the fact that I think he has an enormous ceiling. I think he lacks certain things like tenacity and a love for the game. So today... We give you what they're saying about A.J. DeBonsa from BYU. Now, listen to these quotes.
These quotes matter. People that have coached against him. scouts their job to evaluate before a draft. So let's show you some of the quotes from the article. A.J. DeBonsa, who is the long, not a great shooter yet. Some say a lower ceiling than Peterson. Here is a Western Conference executive. He says, I take A.J. number one. He's got the mentality.
He's going to force his way into doing whatever he needs to. He's about the right stuff. He's professional. That's pretty telling. Let's go to the second quote. This is another Western Conference executive. He's a responsible kid. He's not ducking from wanting to be the top player. He carries himself as the best player. He's running to, hey, man, I'm the best player in the league.
