What news kicked off the episode and why does it matter?
Welcome to the Mismatch. I'm Chris Vernon. And joining me as he does every week from TheRinger.com is Dave Jacoby. Jacoby!
Verno, I'm looking at the rundown. We have a lot of items to get through. Somehow, in the middle of September, we've got like 40 things on the rundown. So let's get going. Okay.
20-second timeout to start the show. Two things very quickly. The first of which is I'm wearing a John Conchar jersey in honor of you. I can't imagine that there's many of these that exist in the world. But I have one because locally he had a 17 rebound game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. And in homage to John Conchar, I went over to the team store and had a Conchar jersey made so that we could honor him. The next day. And no one wears 46 in the NBA. And I will forever love John Conchar. And the fact that he is now going to be on your favorite team is crazy. I was so thrilled. It is beyond comprehension. You should
not be allowed. The CBA should say you can't have Alvarado and Conchar on the same team. It's a guaranteed championship.
New York, you're going to love this guy. He's one of my all-time favorites. Also, one of these guys that was like a long-tendered player for a team that you wouldn't expect to be a long-tendered player for a team. So he's got like a hive. And... Just a quick little John Kotsar story. I think my son was... turning 12 i think was turning 12 love john conchar of course right the white guy that hardly ever gets to play but then does get to play and then when he does play hard he gets 17 rebounds and it's like so anyways i run into conchar one day and he knows that uh that my son loves him and i said it just so happened that day i was like it was his birthday and i was like bro send him a dm And he will be the king of the school.
And he's like, you got it. So he sends him a happy birthday message. Hey, listen. And starts following him. I mean, you want to talk about the best birthday ever? So I will forever have a warm spot in my heart for John Conchar. And the fact that you get to root for him now is the best thing ever. The other quick little thing, take everybody behind the curtain. We're starting a little bit late. You were getting ready for the show, getting everything together. I am hustling around the house because it is Hawaiian Day at school. And for every parent out there, you don't find out it's a theme day for a school until it's 20 minutes until they're about to hit the door. And I promise you, this is going to have a basketball tie-in.
So I am out walking the dog. And my wife says, Haley needs a Hawaiian shirt. I'm like, of course she does. So I'm going back inside. And I'm done with the dog. We got to find. I have one Hawaiian shirt. I have one. And do you know what it is, Jacoby? Oh. The season hasn't even started. We're going to go ahead and rip off the Band-Aid. We're going to open the wound. Because the one Hawaiian shirt that is in the house was a giveaway at a Grizzlies game. The Jawayan shirt. It is literally a Hawaiian shirt with John Moran all over it. It's the only, and I was like, all right, so what do we do here? And she's like, I'm wearing it. And I'm like,
you got to
do it. She's wearing a Hawaiian shirt. I mean, it's brilliant. Brilliant marketing. Whoever thought of that, it's
brilliant. Someone in the conference room
was just
like, what if we do a Hawaiian night?
And everyone else
at the table is just like,
yeah. Yeah, you want to talk about ripping off the band-aid. We're not even getting into the season. So my daughter is at school today walking around in a Hawaiian shirt. Just John Morant all over her shirt. What else was I going to do? We didn't have any other Hawaiian
shirts. Well, you texted about this. I was like, you either have a Hawaiian shirt or you don't. You can't fake it. It's not like coming up with a Halloween costume last minute where you just throw something together. It's a Hawaiian shirt or it's not. It's binary. No, we have a Jawaian
shirt. Jawaian.
Yeah, Jawaian shirt. All right, news. Maybe, oh, the Raptors this year, Kawhian night. Guaranteed to happen.
