I just feel like that's ladys, look out said resolves on blocking of evasion Lex, we got your Compas covered, lady, our rights, Oh Paul will be, and in the show dimension will be and is well comedian and music teacher a musician and all that our Let's see we're gonna mash up, I have. I have a nice story from my last night I was doing last minute call the Golan undue Tucker Karlsson, Andy drove the the van to my house. The sprinter ran with the set up and everything and set up in the I went all kind of stuff by the way in the in the pantheon of of things. Just just tell me how what a worked when your fourteen

my son loves, Tucker Carlsson and, I said to him. You know I'm doing a hit like five. Thirty was like four thirty. I said the Tucker Karlsson minivan is in our I've way, would you like to poke your in it and just see what it looked like the scape behind. What's on the screen, how it works swear I sit. The way, the LAN anyone I'm good everyone went indoors room I know said our little Jim Corolla low pulse, no excitement Jim Guerrilla. That said, even something is purportedly into. He should want to know a little more about it. his pleasant pleasure sent others, have been destroyed? True, that's number one. Number two. He knows Tucker, in the van that's about as far as you got, whether by thy eyes. Yes, Could you imagine a if

thirteen year old version of you doing that with anything now you darling three intuitive you said it driveway right now, there's a van that is an entire tv studio. There blow my mind When I was fourteen, I had the opportunity to go to the young, the warriors facility, part of a school project, and I got to practice gonna, like alter which cause you got the locker room, which are not the press box like. I want to see at the inner workings of all this cool stuff that we ought to see. Pardon on tv right like like a fraction whilst it's kind of now it's another topic by cure osity, which I'm always telling everyone about how important that is, What are we doing to curiosity in general when bringing the mountain to Mohammed. Do you know domain just dial up the food dial up the entertainment dial up what it go to Amazon you studio without go to Amazon, go click on them,

you're the thing you want just shop at your door where, where the care, so what happens to curiosity in that in in that scenario, when you just dialing stuff up- and it just keeps showing up at your door where the curiosity, kick in not so much work. Curiosity about further visa instinct location was really we're. Talking about economic zone comes the next day. The food in twenty minutes worded as there's no they're not now, but anticipation has been lessened a lot if you like in our society. I remember when I was twelve vanish thirteen. I did this thing where you used it. If you are really big lie, pays while fan you'd stands a card in an antelope and solve address stamped on love to like the team teams like mailing address, and if you are lucky three now later you're very player would send out an autograph baseball cards, and I would like to wait

mailbox everyday exerted sent these things out in May, and here I was like August some like ordinary gotten slaughtered. Soon I got a few like me a handful, but that was the key anticipation you and you're the guy I observed months later, like I know it's coming, while delayed grew. If be sure, is dead in a ditch by the side of the road. But now I'm worried about curiosity because I think they both sort of one goes, the other like you just kids, just don't need to be curious anymore. Stuff is just there by there's, more entertainment in Sonny's Rome than there is in the sprinter ran in the driveway of my house is so and to combine those thoughts. If it takes too long d now the answer it you're no longer curious. Right. So for me, what was in my room growing up was there was no

competition. I have I didn't, have on oscillating fan in my room to entertain me. There was no tv, there was no anything so every outside of my room, became interesting and curious. Anyway, a nice story, which is, last minute. I did Tucker I was sitting eating dinner about seven thirty at night and all guy got attacked from her daughter that a client her she's, a hare stylize We just saw me on Tucker and was laughing or ass off and she needed this laugh because she found out in July that her daughter of eleven years level daughter has terminal brain cancer, low and she's a physician she's a physician. She now a curse of elitism large high. Do I always hoped I went one of that kind of stuff happens. I always hope for the like, on edge

hated super religious, like guatemalan grandmother who sitting there rubbing rosaries and talking like as light as it ano know, what's going on exactly physician she knows going on, they found out on her fiftieth birthday their herds. or had this terminal brain cancer. It's nice to She wrote me so she said. Thank you. Haven't laughed in months, really made me laugh, and I thought car that's nice, and then I thought I ice in. I should send her book or something I went and found a toll on ears like our work, so went mad signed a book or whatever, and then I two Olga. I said Dan, once you, let me talk to her get get power, a daughter, that's it sitting get her number countries are okay, so I get the number

evidently power didn't tell her. I'm gonna call, which you would so I called she couldn't. I told her. I call asking me if I dont think palette relay that she just went here's your phone number it's kind of old school. I guess. Nowadays you do at a different way, but she said your phone number, I said, ok and I called- and nobody picked up and then I called again and nobody picked up, and I was kind of wondering like- is it the unknown number thing that the per he's getting money. You're like like meanwhile she's fifty again found out on her fiftieth birthday in July? Daughter? I don't know not a lot, I'm to live eleven years old position and she's having to do all that with this all this covert business, going on all these protocols and everything, so the third time. I call our and she picks up, but she does the suspicious answer, hello,

You know like weird voice. Oh yeah, I don't know this is vice and I said it's an curl and she was for had a timer life we are a long conversation and we just you know, talked about everything and I thought she she has all my book. She reads all the park. She loves all the books. She tells other people. She worked with Bob, but I thought oh. I don't know why this is the it's. gratifying part about being a public figure and it's really the easiest that there are a lot of stuff is a pain in the ass were like you, gotta, go down a Norwalk and stand in front of the bee dolphins for two hours and sign in that's a pain in the ass, this easy freely as on the following there for about twenty minutes. I probably more out of it than she did for sure and why say for sure, but I mean she's like

I read every one of your books and I would I would o k power, send her tax, but only after she talked to me. Ok, so she said: The next items you gotta call any topic. We rightly be great Copilot, otherwise go but the waning gear up. gotta put the lamb and you're down both go. Do it after we, land was gonna. Wait till got on the ground. Now, I'm in solid talk to you, about time you just edgy centre friend, ten to fifteen minutes and thirty minutes later ice messages collar immediately, then that's right. I have I just. I just call her so anyway pallor she does a hell of a head of hair you're. Looking at you guys, yeah she's great, so she here she said. I get your books and I read two pages a night just to save it. For the next day, I don't want to read it all the way through language right, let's ride

and now and then I kind of told her well you you want to know how the whole thing works like. How does it work like? How do you know when you're gonna go on or what subjects you're gonna talk about or how physically work? where you going. My coppery have the earpiece without delay, or you can't see talker. You can only hear him cause he's on a visa the delay which grew up anyway. We had a lovely conversation and- and if it is everyone, luck again, I the part of life where people want you to go, generously and you gotta get out your check, Barker Drive over there and do that or you know, spend all the soup kitchen- God love ya the latter, this a lot in this kind of stuff. Do you don't have to be a celebrity? kinds of things are kind of free there, the pretty easily not much does not much bind, there's not much to think about

They also get paid emotional dividends like yourself, grandsire interruption of bullets emotionally gratify, you know what I mean male talk to somebody or make the day or came over to haul poor or a smile aware its radwan. Well, that's that's the thing. I mean. If you could ask this woman, what would you want more than anything, I think twenty minutes to not be incomplete depressed in terror would be right up there and that's it. You gave her well, my hero and we will own wish brandy and her daughter. Well, all right- let's see the right town, hair, all right. Let's say we have a Dawson MASH up, says Dawson. yeah, you remember the are the report. Anchorage Alaska Riyadh, who loves yourself almost as much as she hates the mare now well,

You hit the ball park right let's see we gotta, that guy cow here, yeah Geico man, it's it's fall so we sent to feel a little like fall out there, and that means it's Geico, whether out there taken seen it drives hit the road fine lane at Bay, king out hot sun? And what am I read does stories was we haven't told the million years was going. two lime rock? So I was thinking about this and the rest think about this is because I got Paul Newman's car, I got his captives afford. I asked court afford escort that Paul. Newman drove in nineteen. Seventy three at that

at Lyme Rock and will look. I took a love there. Some footage on the internet and I'll I'll show the car going around going around the track? was a new man lime, rock nineteen. Seventy Seventy three there's old footage of him drive this car around the track and lime rock and getting out of the car and actually Another driver was driving it and then Paul's car broke and for the for the ACE Tom Chica, honey I think was driving out and then Paul Paul car broke. And so Tom to county one day you want to drive my car and Paul said he can I get your car. So this guy Paul walked over to Tom's car this, this escort this latest car. I got in the in the Newman collection and he cried. The industry, s guard and then drove the escort

around line rock line rock was Paul's home track, it's a very small, tight little little track and it's very small local. It's a small little car in a small of track and its tucked up in two- and I guess it's in in Connecticut, I think, but anyway you have the actual car max. So this is a car that beds- floating around four. While all the older gentleman had it been want to sell me for a long time and he wasn't done using it then now is an experiment: we're going to connect us I am we had. We had a last minute the ice and Kalen home. Some I'm getting all the others. guy went on my second. She ok he's all right. You just saw easiest, yellow worried, so I'd storm its food. He was worried about his evil, anxious that he wasn't fuse really tired. Today, like unusually more tired than you, then he coralie-

It was more time than normal, yeah yeah. I like that. How do I kind of freaked amount? So I just I just don't: go home care autonomy hang out until the first part of shows two extra I'd. Anyway, I was trying to connect these these ideas, but the cars you can get a better show the car, the car just sitting in the shop. Now it's this gotta first on an that's very, are that there too, there car is, is there I have it and new. Was drive around lie moroccan that thing and it reminded me, when me and who went me August, nay, when we're doing the Newman doc you ve just named it, although I believe me when up a little early with a career. So just you mean August in the car we had to go to align rock to film couple: drivers doing the Newman Doc. And also went to Bob Sharps House. It was New Newman's team owner whose

ass in the neighborhood and that day. What was that day like for you. It was definitely one of the craziest days of my life, a much shorter back story. My friends had ranked me out in the trip to New York, so I did not bring the right shoes with me right Joan of ARC thrashes. It's a very long story, but I just really think this through an I'm wearing dress shoes on this, hot track trying to help set up. film crew, but prior that when we were driving through the windy backwards of Connecticut trying to get to Bob Sharps House MIKE August, of course, the driver, and If I'm not mistaken, we were also in the early stages of you working on President me, one of your books in the back seat. Reading the Look out why? How much? I can't even do on a straight road, let alone a winding road and we got to Bob Jobs House, I

I've never been sicker in my entire life. We, started off. I started off that morning. Doing Howard Stern at like six, a M Elvis, so I started off. We start off in New York. I did stern. Did you come with me? This idea that I honestly, I think I blacked out. I don't even remember that part of the better we started with stern and six area. Then we jump into a rental car. Then drove back roads to Canada Captain and to Bob Sharps House and Bob Sharp like up a steep driveway and he's got a bunch of stairs that go up and man Scott is floor. Shines on an errand. Nature of grabbed the sea Stan and the Battery box and go up to the top, where the core filming at the very top or Bob's office was mats adding profusely by then I think we still that line rock first, we stop that line rock first we ve This fact is we could, for.

an hour and a half and we jump back and now we're on the clock. We hustled the sharp and, by the way we were leaving from Kennedy that daddy, and we had that man. I I know- and I don't know MIKE Didn'T- really seem to be empathic then the pain you're gone mad mad was made was sweating profusely and I would say he was laboring. Looking in sliding in those bug is like trying to go up the stairs and innate in now. and MIKE are all like Jim, from junior high and as I am by stepping up, let's go get the battery. They have no idea. I could see his face. Sweat pouring beat red, reed sliding around the staff and did and making it out a New York that night. Well, we did barely because it was supposed to be less. You say it was a ninety minute drive and we had approximately eighty nine minutes. You know with which to accomplish that an age

The anti truck had tried to get under a bridge and we actually got large went to the brain. While I mean you can imagine there, so it's like we're like look Gale from New York. We drive. Four Manhattan from Howard, stern place: we go for Manhattan, we go to connect, we got a lime, rock will be, thereby by noon will will shoot from noon? The two there then we it in, and we hustle to Bob our task and then we'll get there at three. and we got from three to five to shoot there. We have eight o clock flight at Kennedy, but we can get ninety five minutes, but through the backers My dream, like a maniac and mass graves and there's one road from one highway from Connecticut that goes through. all things are fucking truck literally wedges itself

under the our past and we're just stopped and average is staring at the clock like this is the world's longest day and we ain't gettin on that plane, Sylvia we get to the scenario which you recently experienced believe in SALT Lake, where somebody has to return the rental car, that's right, and so, of course I meant to be the one to do that. I dropped you guys. I was in Oakland, but got right right. Sorry, I'm! So you guys got to go into your near the VIP lounge at the airport and still sliding around of my dress shoes all over the airport, and my one great moment, though, was that I did also get in to that VIP club at the airport without having paid for it cuz I was wearing an Adam Carolla T shirt and I think he's the green and my face and Edith was nice enough to. Let me in an address here, I will address the label on the reserve that was fuckin seventeen Today, anyway, eventually we got on that, we all did somehow I shorter member, that is being one of those flights where it was delayed, and ever

and while you get that passenger who does the after delayed, you know enough. Twenty minutes ago that something more that passer goes like. This is bullshit like no more something like. Let's, let's rallying it's like TAT and do what does a mechanical thing or sums going on. I dont know why. What would you like me to rage against which machine which you like regularity, don't guess all like a member I will never forget that I really was like a home with me. Those words yeah. Let's take a greyhound bus and scan seventy seven hours will be back and Burbank Slick, yeah, we're gonna the flight Five can be deployed, another forty five minutes and then we're gonna landed, Ella hacks or we could the storm the castle with you are right, Thank you for that now visit their guy could account today switch ensure

Zander make it easy fifteen minutes fifteen percent or more Geico that come all right? Let's see, we cannot apply all pulse of all already. Yes, oh yes, there is a whole already go ahead and I pulled a click of the famous gathers. Internet Paul was the coach at the time. I do know that it was how much we talk about a form of good to play it. We can discuss briefly. If we have time to let you know, as none of you, I send the dark camp. Let's do that now. What Well you're saying is on hold bigger, also saying at one thirty five so which one you want to go. I saw you I just put that on the top, is, I think, he's on her with the name on the Zoom Canada's guest. So I'm assuming him, but usually put their name go well, Why don't we? The undersigned? Whether Hank gather thing first go ahead, set the table

it is not only of memory because I was looking. I was looking up today like he was coach of alum. You Loyola Merriam out here. College coach, after is with the Lakers nineteen, not then Ladys at the lazy, ninety and those very good, Ella Mule team in ninety ninety there to really marks players Hank gathers and oh Kimball, Having gathers, I saw the thirty four thirty. I know this team on None Paul West Head and his team if ass now I was a young. I was twelve years old at the time, so it really India. You know this phenomenon there are really good, powerhouse Right Neuro Torres. It wasn't like all your nor through a lot of good again, do good again Elam. You can come out of nowhere. If these two real, more key players, long story Short Annette, gathers had some. Heart problem, but he doesn't like a defective up. You know some sort of something going on. They put an awesome medication. He didn't.

I call the medication made him feel I'm plays thought he was sluggish. Those lethargic I believe you one off the medication again for a memory. So cried me the wrong, and at that point playing a basketball game. Dear a college, Gay division in college game. He collapsed on the floor, and died on the court. Oh God, data it was therefore did which I pulled if Chris outside the planet. But it's it's a terrible. They literally guide in the middle of a game stirabout a little bit and he a spectacular AL, you dont can his fellow her just died. the flow, my god, and he sees it and he was he was a spectacular after you, but he would have been a first round tech for sure. You will agree that it is eight or six. Ten is a brick shit ass. He sits back up and proclaims? I don't want to lie down and then ends up lying down again and eventually dies. if I remember well, then his

Team made is the one who shot the basket with his eyes closed I don't really know while he shouted handed intrude bacchanals. I've left handed in tribute to gather thank God and man they wanted. This is shocking and has a name to a movie because they ended up going on an unbelievable run. In the end, the tournament in the swedish media, the barge madness tournaments. They made it all the way to forget like the round of eight or something and lost to eventual than national champion Univee, but they upset defending champions. Michigan like ever. There was a really heartfelt spectacular run for a grating, Well, we will love Paul's on hold, so we can talk to him about that as much as well as many other things in the NBA. Take a quick break, we'll be back with Paul West Ed right after this

We definitely need to restore Tennessee. Seventy secure man lost one of his legs after him, with alone together, seventy six year old man was a tax policy. TED is on the line, the speed game, my fast times in basketball, it's available November. Fishing pray order it now.

on Amazon. If you would please good to see appall I'll, say, Congratulations on an incredibly diver career, I mean NBA championship sorry W Nba championship and be a championship as it player in the NBA Ivan, let's so unpack that animal we'll get into many many other things, oh for you, worried, wordy grow up where hail from I was born and raised in Philadelphia Billy Guy, that they could be is that your phone ringing found ringing. That's our which cup check Mitch Mitch CUP Jack famously and I dont know Jack just Bob. I don't know if you guys know

all I'm curious, what you know, but Mitch com. I have a very vivid memory of Mitch CUP check in the lock. I guess he was a forward for the Lakers in the seventies I always wondered brought him their Mitch pop check in the locker room after the Lakers game. Whilst somebody was being interviewed in front of the camera behind the camera Mitch stood up on the bench Guess you don't want the athletes foot or something and proceed. to drop his jock, and his shorts. I remember that rare clearly when I was nine years old. Is that possible. Well that doesn't sound like miss subject, but because he he really was a straightforward up a good guy, so he probably didn't realize that there were people are cameras, are young boys in there. I didn't know that

thing I I he thought he was off. The camera. I don't, I don't think I'll get it. I don't think he cup check check this cop. intentionally for the can arrived out. I understood it is he thought he was off camera, so engines, Kurt ran by it sounds like so you grow up in Philadelphia, grow, In Philadelphia. Yeah. I was born and raised in failure. You know what that is called their web player, Saint Joseph University for Jack Ramsay, college basketball, career. Wasn't a star my eye, red point, average work spatter there my points per game average, so

That's because I was a good stood, no idea, three point, four great. So, within what led you and coaching from that he while I always wanted to do a teacher, so I was involved in I did teacher Ed. I was qualified and certified it be it. The high school teacher I had an interest in basketball and my first the opportunity came up to be a teacher in a coach and it didn't work. and I remember us: Ass Jacqueline's Edith, and make a recommendation for me, and he said he said Paul. I'm gonna call for you, he said, but you really not a coach. He said you're a teacher but I'll make the call and you know that

That is it years later. I am coats against Sir Jack Ramsay in the NBA and you know we became lifelong friends, but I think he saw me more as somebody this was better in the classroom than on the basketball court because he saw me as a player Did you start thinking about the up tempo game? I mean that's kind of I guess you'd be the the grandfather or the father of the Possession, high octane. Don't follow your shot kind of up tempo game, that's something that you when you're playing or were watching what went out that work yeah. Well, certainly not one. I was playing because, if you play Jack Ramsay you. He was the proponents, doing everything right and on time and exact, and

we played sometimes a little fast, but not to speed that I did so. I got a couple ways one I spent the seventies coaching in the summer and San Juan Puerto Rico. And in the What are rican leg? The quick shot was gee. You know was no, you know set up the offence and and random. extra something so fell into our style, a play in a league That I was interested in already so I they came first break person and I came back to my cell college teams and tried to run with them- I ran into a coach from all Dominion University. Sunny Alan who was first break guy gave me some abuser scheme.

It is easy to make law. If you're gonna find my scheme, you're gonna be a little crazy. I said: well, Can do that and everything evolved from their amino once ice once once you get did by this fast: game. The speed game is hard. Go back a basketball, becomes boy if you don't run fast is there any theirs? a team that doesn't work the speed game in the NBA, no college major cause everyone. Does it our high school? Does it now sets its ubiquitous? Does it hears? Interesting question obviously, when you have great players that can move it up and down in of May specimens your magic Johnson, Sir, your Lebron James or something it's great, but does it benefits the game with the greatest

athlete or would it benefit a shorter slower team even more because I could make an argument for why those guys wouldn't want to set up and post up and play a slow game, it's gonna be interesting. at the end of the day, Adam The running game done away. I coach, namely, if we had them a hundred officer possessions we ran a hundred times, is is not a good thing for pay. Players in general. They didn't want to do that. It is too I didn't want to work, that hard every time, so you get great players, you know like magic and cream or the Michael Jordan of of my day, they want to play real fast, because they're saying what am I wanna go fast when I can t My time is score anyway. So well, what what's the point of this

so you. Your second notion, I think, as is sound, less players, slower players less towel, Players should want to play for because it could give them an advantage. And yes, I I quote some teams that that was well. My selling point was We ran the break in and shot him one five seconds all the time. We would wear down better, more founded rigour, teams But even then they have to buy an because if you down the first breaks, Else is it easier to coach man or ouch women- tell me the town hall and I'll, give you an answer me because it really comes down to dinner. But in general it's easy to coach women because they

follow your direction almost exactly when I coaching Debbie Envy Day in Phoenix Mercury, he acquired a pointer. Her name was Kelly Miller. She was run the University of Georgia. She played Randy, landers and choose. She was very good fire. I said Kelly, I want you to run the ball. You shall be my point out. I want you to run the ball, especially who can wreak possession she, Ok, I can do that and for two years in every practice, in every drill and every game she went breakneck speed down the court with the boss, I mean is hardly get men. follow that direction and never wavered. There always want to try to figure something out. She said you want me to do that. I can do that. An issue single

I think he is singularly that I want someone Zonia, Lickety Split, the understand shit You take care that yet the eyes also it must be difficult for the elite players to train. I mean you You gotta, run practice hard right. I mean you, gotta, run the court back and forth having your asking multi million dollar guys to do this. Single jangle Zol all day that difficult. It is very difficult any year your spot. On that day. wanna play they went away and if they want to get it, her contract, you know their contracts up many a year or two, but they really deep down, don't want to run extra fast, One run your fast all that time now

It is a hard sell and that's why it's in my book, This is why I had twenty jobs. and I got fired and fourteen other. In general, it's hard to get really tall people to do what you want anyway, you ever. your guy six nine and go hey pick that I'm gonna live ago. Like it's hard to get to guys, video your bearing number one number, two rich and tall like millionaire and tall that strike too. And yes, your show right, I was just sort of putting myself back in popular. football and high school football days. There is such a difference between are going up and down or kind of doing a laugh at the park or lap you'd get into football price. Ideal warm up, lap, Raimondo warm up lap. You now, at the end, we're gonna run some lamp. The winds brain thing like like when you're going hard it, exit out EU fast, it's like

It's like you have a battery in you and that battery will, ass for two hours, but you can run dry in five minutes if you just if you just punch it and that's what that is, aspirin, murmured, the oh, I'm sure. As now, I'm not allowed the indian run where the whole group had run the last guy how to get to the front in the law. SK I have to get the front. Will you be running the entire time torturers? Why didn't quite do that? If we did, our practices were not stand around half court talking about a run, pickin role, our practices were. Transition, so everything was often Stevens, often statements, Athens, defence. I will say that it did happen. Various with Karim that I learned from him up: We started the season training wherein Palm springs. California,

had a two hour practice. First practising you know, he's doing fast, breakin guys worked hard and retired, at the end of practice, as Lotta highschool couch coaches do I ran what they call murder or suicide or lines they they go back and forth up and down the court. Maybe ten times So I had them do at once, and then we finished and the team walk through the right to get to them. Through my walk to the left and crew. in came over left with me. Put his arm around me and said Paul. I don't do murder and and then he walked away. There was no more conversation in his Very understanding. Ever call be coach they call me by my first name. I think he only John Wooden coach,

so there we are actors that night that's when they did two days and we went back and I scratched out the murder suicide for the night practice. And I never did it again is that the emperor you Paul, but calling wooden coach is asserted. Quibbling to calling your step dad dad, but your sister com embark denied. Guess she doesn't like him. That's that comparison. I should. I had with you where's, my assistant, maybe I'd lasted longer in some of these, I can handle that Abdul Jabbar, we'll do like Abu I've interviewed cream a number of times theirs Gerasa me, Reviewing Karim on the show I sit so here's so here's kind of the here's, the question Would you rather have a heavy, thoughtful kind of contemplated,

loss of her type like him. that guy snuck in it. You know you can't tell em go: go dive, That wall for me is not going to do it, but he is is thoughtful or someone who is less sort of certain I don't know, I'm thoughtful, less less in their head more visceral, I don't know like- was a guy. Like me, Johnson like more visceral, Karim was more thoughtful are in which would you rather coach? Yoda, well career, it was a very thoughtful guy. We would occasionally talk. You know, Shakespeare shot, sonnets, send an novels and Robert Frost Poetry, but she and he didn't wanna talk too much about desk Barney. Surely didn't want you to tell him what to do you see than this Coaches and I learned the hard way

You don't wanna walk in until twelve and the players what we're gonna do- and I know what I'm saying they want to go at their own pace and figure things out themselves so Karim was easy- the coast because you'd go out and get your twenty two points in fourteen robots, so yeah I'll. Take that a thoughtful guy any day. who are some of the players on the team on the Lakers back then, since I sort of remember all those guys, while obviously MAGIC Johnson Norm Nixon tomorrow will soon was another. You sail Abraham Cooper curb here Mitch CUP Cooper was cool were famously: was he the one? It was a virgin until we got married or my thinking of another like a sea green, a she green dammit?

worthy wasn't around was worthy back then Are they came after me, worthy, was around here and I didn't have they see Green either. He came two years after me, while he came to in Africa Mary got her, driver related question for the couch coach coached you caused. Jackson in Denver who later it's on the changes name to mock mood. I roof, as he was very famous out of you. Remember he was the one of the first players ever rationally too daring during the national anthem, many out of a lot of controversy. Obviously culling covering a kind of you know bit became dug out right the up the face of that movement. It I'm curious if you ever talk to Christianity, enormous mood about that deserve our conversation. I was after your time and honor if you ever talked him yeah. No, we never had a conversation, but I we when I was in them. He was a rookie when I, when I arrived, I was there two years with them,

then some of the issues of him not standing up for the anthem et came after all, so after I was dismissed all, although that took place he was a very interesting young man. He was very talented, as you know, yet he had to read sir, and that cannot effectively because sometimes and medication didn't work, and so I have had a fight that boy he was a skilled guy he just wanted the bonus, Hannan and leave him alone struggle burly in his fresh is rookie year slight net with, unless I said Chris, I helped younger ransom. taken Rawls Round have court for you, and you said no, no, no, no, no coach about. Let everybody out of my way I play swim at work when I can just do my own thing well, somewhere, but

it was a nice young man, and I think what happened to him He was kind of ahead of his times. It was kind of unfortunate here years ago, as you can of great players in. on occasions, we're talking about Hank gathers right before you, You came up your coaching. That game the hand a recollections of our Hank in that that game and that that that time period. Well, was thirty years ago A recollection is like it was three minutes ago, Three minutes ago you Chris The clear in my mind were playing Portland University for in any She D, Herblay, qualifiers, then Hank makes a thundering slam dark on our fence?

turns around and running back to play defence and collapses. Around half court. you never to get up again I changed my life and the life of our team I think everyone had Elam you for a long long time, it was sir there was. hardest thing did ever to me in my life let alone as a coach. What kind of Guy An gathers He was wild and crazy, vivacious, an outgoing, and yet he he be doing your show right now. There's somebody ultimately wanted the bay he wanted to be. A radio tv announced surrender You always would grab a micro found if there was one on a bus start making fun of everybody. He was tough aggressive, lovable.

here I'll, give you a story to show what he was really like. After gains at home, my twelve year old daughter would come and stand outside the locker room with me in the players would come out. She had occurred, Sean. Are: shooting, are Jeff Friar kind of the blah surfer boy from Koran, Adele MAR California so she stand in error with me waiting for a fire and outcomes. Hank, and he walks over to my daughter, Julie, says: Julie, who's, your favorite player, and she says you and in this way, with hee hee, he made you like him, and there are a lot of reasons to like himself for him. It's a die so suddenly was like yeah

just poured out of us here certainly would have had a great and be a career guy. I think he would have been like a ten twelve year veteran, I don't think it had been an all star, but he d been twelve point. Twelve rebounds every game. help you win and as you apps remembering his junior year. He did lead. The country in scoring and rebounding, which should take only been done about five times in the history of college basket, were you and the teammates, the team it essentially wooed? Were you aware that he had passed literally out on the on the court or You see him taken away in an ambulance and could think well, I hope he's gonna be ok. He did go and enable us any was a whiskey the way to a local spotting

in a Re California, the team went into the locker room, I went to the hospital Obviously, I got there, they had pronounced them dead and I I saw him in the end, gurney, etc and This is well before cell phones and everything so I was someone had to come back and deliver that news the team waiting in the locker room, briny had.

Caught up in the grief of banks passing tat way. Ask a ball was relief for them a chance to do something. other than their grief. Their legal aid donor headlights. They played so well.
