What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hey, it's Tony. On today's show, we will go across the pond to chat with Chris Clary about what's going on at Wimbledon. We'll also talk to Tim Kirchhen about what he sees as the biggest surprises in the first half of the season. But first, commerce.
Previously on The Tony Kornheiser Show.
You know, the fact that you're treating them like your children.
Yes.
That's great.
I wish.
Going out and watching them over them every day. You know, I'm sure that if they could text, you'd be texting them, you know, on a regular basis saying, how are you doing? So I get that. And I will say, and I mentioned it to you before we did a PTI segment last week, that, you know, I'm making a phone call because I'm trying to find out information about the Phillies and how they're progressing. And I'm talking with a member of their front office. And the first question is, how's your crop doing?
Yeah.
The Tony Kornheiser Show is on now.
All right. In World Cup news for people who care, France beat Morocco. Okay, that ends our World Cup segment. Nats didn't play last night. Tough night for you.
And a tough night for the Nats.
The entire division won. Yeah, I got nothing. I got nothing.
I should have called you. Turner Classic was doing a whole marathon of Tom Hanks movies. Sleepless in Seattle, that thing you do.
Yeah. Oh, boy. Anyway, so that's the Open. No, I've got more. I've got more. A.J. DeBansa last night, with all the pressure in the world, as the number one overall pick, had not played in the Summer League at all, was playing against a team with Darren Peterson. These are the two teams that tanked for years, Utah and Washington, to get in a position to pick these players. Darren Peterson had had a great game the night before, or two nights before, whenever it was. 25 points, 12 assists in 28 minutes. Now, statistics don't really matter that much. In Summer League's nonsense, let's understand this. 70% of the people who are on the court are never going to play in the NBA. So the only reason to look at Summer League is for very specific things, like how does this guy look, a guy who's important, and Peterson has looked great.
His team had beaten DeBansa's team twice in the two times they've ever played. In high school, DeBansa's got 45 points against Peterson's team. Peterson got 61 points against DeBansa's team. In college, Kansas beat BYU. So Peterson was 2-0. Peterson came into this thing with a chip on his shoulder because he wanted to be the number one pick, and he said so out loud a number of times. I felt all the pressure was on DeBansa, all the pressure in the world. And he performed. He outscored Peterson. He had a very fine performance. So this morning, there's a bunch of guys walking down K Street not saying, we picked the wrong guy. They're saying, it looks like we picked the right guy. It looks like it's a wash.
And so you can pick either one that you want. DeBansa played very well last night. I wanted to mention that.
The only summer league I'm paying attention to is from the Timberwolves right now. If you go to their Instagram. Nathan. Picture of Nathan Bubis.
He won the game. He was his first coaching victory. First dub for Coach Bubis. Isn't that great? How great is that? That's just wonderful. That's wonderful. One other thing to say before I get to the most important thing, which is my golf game. One other thing to say, long overdue, John Riggins' number 44 is going to be retired. Long overdue. I will make the case for you that not only does John Riggins have the most important player in the history of the Washington football franchise, the play that won the Super Bowl against Miami, right? Yep. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, where you hear the diesel sound in the background. Yeah, it was like fourth and one or something like that. It's the greatest play ever.
The greatest play in the history of the Washington football team.
What NBA Summer League performance suggests the Wizards picked the right No. 1?
The greatest play. But I'll make the case he's the greatest player. And I understand that you can say Sammy Ball and Daryl Green and Larry Brown and Sonny Bobby Mitchell. You can say those people.
