This is dry when Josh Graham drive. This support is creating social media the last 24 hours, you think it's doomsday for college basketball and I just don't see is it good failing green.

The number one player in this class according yet again.

Also, another five star player choose to go to different route other than college hoops. Obviously, no call Anthony.

He announces he's entering the draft that happened a few hours ago. Of course I'd selfishly like to see him stick around Chapel Hill, however, suggesting that the MBA is coming for college basketball stuff is disingenuous at best, flat-out misleading get worse after reading further into it last night.

I don't even think yesterday's news threatens college hoops one bit daily green. First off, and Isaiah, Todd D committed for Michigan five star player to join him for this team in California that's good to be put together, they aren't even playing in the G league. It's going to be a select team that plays exhibitions plays against foreign national teams gets put into some MBA academies all about developing and that might be what they end up wanting to do, but I don't think there's a lot of television fare fanfare for that and I don't think that's really good to help them build their brand between now and whenever they're going to get drafted. I heard loads on SportsCenter yesterday saying that this is essentially a bridge between now and when ever the one and done, gets abolished. That's all this is because the MBA and the players Association can't agree to terms to get rid of the one and done once and for all college basketball they arty put together the committees the rice committee. They singled out the one and done is something that needs to go in order for things to get better but it's an MBA rule in the MBA in the PA has a figure that out yet so this is kind like a Band-Aid to get them to that finish line load says that still two or three years out. Remember 2018. Just a few years ago, the MBA trying to entice players to actually compete in the G league different than yesterday's news they put it out there. Hey, it's good to be $125,000 that you play with to go to the G league and nobody took them up on the idea of going to play for Canton or the play in Maine wasn't appealing enough. Or, at least, 120 5K wasn't enough to get them to go there and play against guys who were mostly making 30 grand grown men who are trying to make a name for themselves. Not a great spot to have someone who's 18 years old making 18 times what these older guys or make probably not the best setting for that. Somebody took them up on it.

So these guys. They're not even playing G league basketball and you want me to think that college basketball is good to start crumbling to the ground college hoops they don't even need these very few prospects that would be looking to play overseas or looking to jump to this developmental league how I know that. Tell me about all the player in this year's college basketball who's been a massive game changing player. One of the biggest stars in the sport that college basketball would be missing out on if he chose to do this.

Let's just say a year ago but we already saw this play out. 1995 to 2005, there were so many guys decided to go from high school to the MBA that the MBA decided to put this rule in place.

So we've already seen this movie college basketball just fine. They survived and thrived.

Let's go to the top five teams in the country and you let me know which of these teams has a guy they might've lost to this developmental league or this developmental program that the MBAs putting together Kansas.

The number one team Davon Dotson.

He's not.

It wasn't a freshman joke as a bogey who I believe was the runner-up for the wooden award. He's a senior number two team in Sacca Casper. He's a junior Dayton OB top and a sophomore.

Don't worry about him as best players. His best teammates. They're all upperclassmen.

Florida State yeah Patrick Williams is great and he put his name into the draft, but he was a good to get 500 grand the same way the number one player jailing green. Got it trip for a step in the cell in your freshman Baylor you got Butler who was an awesome player sophomore number six San Diego State number seven Creighton best players upperclassmen. I don't really think college basketball would have been damaged if: Anthony wasn't in the game this year or James Wiseman didn't play those eight games or so with Memphis before getting suspended and ultimately leaving. I'm not saying it's good news for college basketball I'm saying this news has nothing to do with college hoops. It was mainly about keeping kids from going overseas.

It's more about RJ Hampton, who by the way, besides the play overseas, thinking that would be better for him to prepare for a pro career in the MBA.

When's the last RJ Hampton had bond you heard. I don't see him being projected as a top-five pick. I don't see many places have again is a top 10 pick if you're in the states and you're playing college basketball. You're given more exposure, more people evaluate you and that's what this is really all about.

It's not about competing with college hoops. It's about keeping RJ Hampton keeping Emmanuel Moody keeping a mellow ball keeping them all in the United States so that way all these NBA teams don't have to send scouts and pay for scouts to watch these guys in Australia. That's what it's about. Here on twitter at sports of dried if you want to chime in.

The head coach of the Greensboro swarm Joe Wolf will join us in a little over 25 minutes.

I'm interested in what he made of yesterday's headline. Also, yesterday we got NFL over unders. I know people who have just been desperate dying to find something to bed on while for those people, the NFL's always here for you over unders for all 32 teams release yesterday and I think were to bring back an old football Friday favorite working to bring back best bets with the four best over under bets for the 2020 NFL season. Please do not turn off your eye. Let's start in the AFC East, the Buffalo Bills over under right at nine.

At worst, this is a push.

I'm going over nine when obviously Tom Brady's not in the division anymore. Buffalo, they one double digit gains last year. I think Christine got better. Adding Stefon Diggs. I think the coaching needs to be factored in here. It's not disabled. Buffalo Bills that went nearly 2 decades without a postseason appearance saw McDermott playoff appearances into of his first three years as the bills head coach, so no Brady good coaching staff 10 wins last year. The addition of Stefon Diggs. Buffalo is going to win over nine-game Washington Redskins over under 4 1/2.

I'm going over for I think coaching really matters. They won three games last year and for over half the season. Bill Callahan, whatever that is was their head coach now you got Ron Rivera, an adult is in the building and he adds a former NFL head coaches as defensive coordinator and Jack del Rio case young to be able to contribute immediately. I think Washington is going to be a lot better off specially when you consider you got a solid head coach and a quarterback going into his second year a team that's no longer going to be taking.

That's worth way more than two wins. The Redskins are going over 4 1/2 Tampa Bay right at nine. They're going over here is why Tampa was seven and nine last year with shamus Winston throwing 30 interceptions. Now you insert Tom Brady.

Who's trying to prove something to the world, and specifically the folks in Foxboro. He could be the all-time great playing somewhere else other than the patriots, the second year for Bruce area six of the nine losses they had last year. And remember that 17 games whereby one possession. All of that rolled together in Carolina getting considerably worse this year.

Atlanta staying idle leads me to believe Tampa is going to win more than nine games and make the postseason. And lastly, the Philadelphia Eagles over 9 1/2. Last year it was a bad season for filling people tell you in person. Wentz wasn't right.

Mainly because he didn't have anybody to throat your hand the ball off to everybody was injured.

That's not happened. Back to back years had weapons in this draft all their needs perfectly fit the strengths of this draft. I love Doug Peterson as a coach. I love how he rose but as a general manager. Good organizations find ways to bounce back Philadelphia 19 games last year. I think were going to be better and when more than 9 1/2. Most of the best bets bills over 9 rd is over 4 1/2, the Buccaneers over nine and the Eagles overnight in the half.

I never like betting unders because I'm not a coward to go. Robert was the producer of the show Aaron Gabriel in the control room again Joe Wolf in a little over 15 minutes coming up. We explore Cole's decision to declare today and I'll tell you why the Jordan dock is imperfect hands. This is the drive to hear some great sports talk. Well, here it is dry when Josh grayed out. It's just coincidental Fox sports Hall triad, the Chicago Bulls just tweeted this out your offered $5 million to score against Michael Jordan one on one. You're given 10 chances. This is prime and if you fail, you won't be able to hear music ever again. Would you still lace up were now being joined by Joe Wolf who played with MJ with the Tar Heels. Of course, the head coach of the Greensboro swarm. This is the perfect question to pose you right from the jump here. I hope you're doing well.

I would, I will.

It's also prime its prime Joe Wolf so prime MJ versus prime Joe Wolf 10 opportunities to score. Do you know will you old volleyball rule breaker workflow that would work when you watch old video. I don't know if you had time to watch some old video I knew James Borrego he's been giving some old tapes to some of his players to watch in this time where everybody is at home and can't really be in Jim's I was watching I think the Lakers play MJ's bowls in the early 90s and MJ. He had nothing for Magic Johnson like Magic Johnson, his bill if there was one on one and he got them in the post magic scoring every single time have you had a chance to watch any old video of it would be different relied on the post where to draw the we relied on, I relied on our plate, which actually talk about my career with the respected draw double-team about a wide-open jumper show definitely understand anybody from the air that I've played in the Michael Clayton, one of the same that we appreciate people who were bigger and stronger in the post because we about about trying to get to the paint, trying to figure out who you wide-open through your child to be present to keep the ball moving to get a tree. What's the best personal short personal story with MJ you have for us like like what's the one when people go up to you and have a named one and MJ story you have package ready to go will so many could see it.

I worked with Breitbart near the Howard is always a joy.

She was so competitive and always challenged you to do better in and everything so there were a lot of like-minded competitors that we play for Carolina in the and it was fun being around all those guys and Michael will competitor my my freshman year what to do about all the freshman room and why I think is very positive, but each of them. There and try to pin you to your bed. Move the type of wrestling movie. Try to buy flabby or whatever. And when I got to Carolina probably 200, 205 pounds 20 just met maturation than having to work out all time. He became and what one at one point in time, the body flabby and I happen to be a little stronger. At that point that I picked him up about coming to my room ever again without knocking, wrote that one. One story that I like a lot of people because one of the few times that I could actually say that I did Michael and something breaks down Michael Jordan as a sweetbay clean is loud is he messy. What was he like at that time, like the music very clean, very clean everything within its place very tightly. Radio cassette tapes. What's he listening to more accurate I can't remember what we have been with the girl. I could tell you it was some type of burial whether or actually burial with the legal and I'm not sure that we everybody had something that they played like it is Greensboro swarm had telex while spending time here. Follow him on Twitter at Joe Wolf 24 and you mentioned that Michael he would challenge you pretty much in everything he he was telling the director of this new documentary series that's going to drop Sunday. His biggest concern is people working to see tape from 98 season him challenging guys and I think that he's a monster that is a tyrant how far he went when he was playing with the bulls when he's in college and he hasn't hit a game-winning shot in 1982 Zoe's established in the college ranks but not really established on the national level quite yet.

How far was he able to go on the floor without stepping on toes of Dean Smith will control product. No, nobody would know trash talking that Michael became known for. Do not happen. Not good at each other, but there was a lot of verbal back-and-forth backyard in in college. As Michael went to the pros and that became you learn the trade pros that were in the MBA brought it back and started playing more trash while we're you didn't speak much. We were around, and out of breath to the speak becomes a question of intent to be effective. I also wanted to ask you about this while we have you what was your reaction to yesterday's MDA news as it relates to the G league, a new developmental path that a lot of people in college basketball high school ball and protocol are spending time discussing right now where would you wanted to be for people to understand that there are different avenues to get to the MBA and I think the young players that are often you know something that Julie felt up for the last five years.

The business plan for young players. You players were considering this, their biggest competition being overseas. Like seeing going to Australia with the MBL or do you think it's college basketball. What level how you can adjust different cultures how mature you are, what your body is like, 17, 18, to make the step. I would imagine it. The young player has individuals around him that are educating them on what decision you should make. They are pointing out so obviously it is huge thing for the G league where we are. Wolf, thank you so much for spending time with us.

Enjoy the documentary stay safe, and I look forward to a time we can welcome you back into our studio and get back to some form of normalcy.

Thanks for doing Josh. I appreciate all you that that's really nice to get to say that's Joe Wolf spending time with us. The head coach of the Greensboro swarm and a lot of interesting stuff there.

Not smart Michael trying to pin down someone who's 200, 205 pounds when MJ's the skinny kid even going into his junior year, probably totable has about 20, maybe 30 pounds on Robert.

I have what I believe to be the best top 10 list I've ever done. I said that on this show. Robert you been on the old show in our last employer I been doing top 10 list for the last five years too long.

Yeah, and this is the best one of the cadaver don't really know maybes. I think this is this is that you Jay Glazer big news in the top 10 list 10 dances. I'll be here for unexcited top 10 dances.

I am feeling very good about this top 10 list Aaron your notepad in front of you. Any idea what direction this might be headed in. Think you can guess a couple of guess if you just to see just how good this talk to you all right if you have guesses top 10 dances on Twitter at sport sub triad. I'm psyched about this listing of my top 10 dances next on the drive hello stiff socks voice. He also loves to take Max to keep his skin so you look at your drive with Josh Graham. Okay I'm throwing out any maybes here. I have what I believe to be the best top 10 list.

I've ever done right in front of in honor of the last dance. It is my top 10 dances. Aaron Gabriel spent much of the break not following CDC guidelines by having his hands near his face as he pensively thinks what's going to be on this list have your notepad in front of you. How many things do you have written down, Percival workstation to sanitize the claim are second of all, I got one disparate one gets written down. Robert hasn't given us any thoughts I don't think.

No, not at all our right, let's dive right in and it's my top 10 dances dances on Twitter at sport sub triad number. My number Randy flaws.

I still have never learned how to do the Randy flaws Randy flossing you know how to do it.

I do not do you know when the cotillion I can do like my number nine dance John foxtrot number.

My number eight dance stinky Legler.

I remember back when I was in school doing the stinky Legler you go, you didn't do this you Legler. I will Legler let receipts over that Legler going on here like that leg. Thank you's leg I've ever seen.

Stinky Legler number seven number seven dance John Walt's little John Walt's six number six dance the serve Charleston I went to a basketball game last year and they still play that song.

It is a high school specialty can like any AC/DC song that has anything to do with like back in black or any of their top five number five. My number five dance like mambo and RIP for my number four dance shaggy alone man know how to. She will and you, Robert, who is killer. Neil number three. My number three dance teach me how to Dougie Hamilton was great so funny though top 10 dances Kevin Harlan saying we should coordinate the only dance that I'm hundred percent positive that Josh knows how to do the twist multiple multiple barges like yesterday yesterday after the show is great that one more time just with all I want is all great.

My number one dance David Tapper wanted. I forgot what was on the outside looking and was told was not auto from being honest but I think some others that were thought of a people dance and dab on hula. How about the electric slide. Drexler hey Diego chicken dance. I got a few boring Cabbage Patch Susan Houlihan are what you got Riverdance that CMC hammer time.

San Francisco 49ers to a lift. Hello, my God, to lift the night is your go last. I have people say all migraine like that like my just as well but that I was talking with that is not what I have been thinking arena will do that though, should've been there may be the Dabo I got can't let these kids boo again. They want out so bad man.

This is a strong top 10 list probably the best. What did you think of the top 10 list on Twitter at sport sub triad 336-777-1600 B and the phone number and Panthers news or ask Panthers news Luke Keithley has been talking about a potential potential broadcasting role speaking to Mike to recoat earlier in the week, and here's what he had to say quote I think when guys come in on Fridays and Saturdays and you talk to the production crew talk to guys like Jason Witten in guys that have played like Tony Romo or Ron Dave Barber. Those guys you could just tell plated a high level and they still have the ability to stay involved with the game. I think that part is something that's attractive to me, the obvious thing to say would be oh, yes. You can't get Drew breezy can't get Peyton Manning Al Michaels Tony Romo go ahead and get key click. That's not what I'm saying. Probably not a great spot for him to thrive. A linebacker going into the Monday Night Football booth with no TV experience. However, earlier this week it was announced Charles Davis is going to replace Dan Fouts at CBSSports Fouts being let go off CBS's NFL coverage so that opens up a spot on Fox's team like they had the lead crew which is bucking a command, but whoever's working with Kevin Burkart is fair game and I think that might be the spot for a guy like equally keeping radio and television just understands so much of what's going on.

He probably be great at communicating it. That's the big unknown with reps and commitment to it be good he's always somebody much like Peyton Manning much like Tony Romo very detailed in his preparation. A lot of what he does a lot of the reasons why he succeeds. I should say it. It stands on precut preparation. He had during the week so Keithley and a TV booth. Also, good looking guy.

We talked about this before Robert Keithley. He might be the most handsome Carolina Panthers ever. There's a chance of that. He's right there with McCaffrey cam Newton. I think I would agree with you on the handsome part, but I don't think I would agree with you on maybe he's not the most attractive Carolina Panthers, at least to me well because I mean, I like a little. I like to have a little personality. I thought he would be like talking to a baked potato personality. No I love you. I was talking to guys in the locker room and they would tell me Greg Dortch, for example, Dortch said to me when he got there.

Keithley every single time he'd see him. He'd run up quickly as it is about the tackle tap him on the shoulder and said ACC guys met when the market we need more ACC people what's got Wake Forest let's go you he's hot now.

I'm glad you told me you have… Having personality because he said he kind of the sea has a great personality like that kind of a little bit mean in other news: Anthony, it's announced he is declaring for the NBA draft. He put this out on social media.

The heels there going to be just fine if they had coal for a sophomore year. Unquestionably, they would be the preseason number one team going in the next year, but even without them. I without him is that there there a top 20 like they have a top 10 roster right Caleb Lovett point guard five star player he can fill that spot very well. But the reason why North Carolina is going to thrive next year. It's the best post. Roy Williams is had since the national title. That title team had Kennedy Meeks banking in the post with Tony Bradley and also Isaiah Hicks team was loaded Joelle James away. Joelle James was 16, but they had a lot of big guys who were very good on that 17 team right now it's Garrison Brooks it's Armando Bay caught who's returning to Chapel Hill for a sophomore season, then you have a pair of five-star players added to the mix.

Walker Kessler Beran sure MOC Roy is still talking about Sterling Manley as if he somebody that can get medically cleared and contribute in some way. The biggest question with North Carolina looking at the roster for 2021. It's shooting if cocaine that he would be the best shooter and I think North Carolina would have very few flaws right now though, who is the best shooter. It's hard to say with these freshman I don't know if loves a great shooter he isn't. He doesn't carry the same pedigree say Kobe white did when he entered as a freshman wanted most prolific scores we've seen in this state puff Johnson. It's not really fair to expect that from him. You lose Brandon Robinson so is Anthony Harris going to step in and through play tech is eager to have to play that role that will be a very important question to answer.

Between now and the start of the year. Who knows maybe North Carolina pick somebody else up in the top 100 or picks up a grad transfer right now. I don't think they have a good enough shooter to rely on in order to be a favorite to win the national title you are listening W STS Winston-Salem W COD Greensboro WPC in Burlington WMF or Highpoint signals making up sport sub triad Josh Graham loves to talk sports. He also loves to wear. Is she close so as an excuse to scratch himself. You're on the drive with Josh Graham before we get the college basketball. Max Brown is doing the Lords work on the recruiting trail right now. Jared Wilson four-star offense of lineman in Clemens West Forsyth hi 643 25 just announced he is going to be a Tar Heel. He choose he chose North Carolina over Arkansas Auburn claims in Florida, Florida State, Georgia, LSU. Since then, Alabama Michigan state Ohio State offered him, so Max Brown getting things done in the triad but it's not just that four-star offense of lineman he signed just in our listening area. The Tar Heels of also landed Aaron what you think Ray Ray Aurora going to go with rewrite. Just goes Ray Ray Dilworth. He has become North Carolina's 10th in-state four-star player from Glenn high school when a touchback on something really quick. You said the first gold of the first athlete came from what was that West Forsyth okay for Forsyth is one word just let you know about the Kang King thing.

There's a lot of dialect changes. So if this is not like me saying advance versus advance.

Yes, it's exactly let's not like that it's it's it's advance and it is it is West Forsyth. It's Forsyth know I'm treading over US 36 777-1600 if you say Forsyth Yuri your Yankee oh come on, I guide I'm I'm not here to do like in North Carolina I spent all my years in this state. I hope you call me a Yankee because I said Forsyth over for site archer from Maryland or something. I was born in Maryland yank here so we can't claim Michael Jordan because he was born in Brooklyn, even though we moved when he was a toddler. I guarantee you he knows it's for Forsyth Forsyth. How can you guarantee that Gary down to you that you talk about on the documentary will be like to go to the West Forsyth.West Forsyth.

This is absurd. 336-777-1600 is it acceptable to say Forsyth versus Forsyth 336-1600 on Twitter at sports of dry I'm down not getting it. North Carolina football at all this fight over this for the next hour if I have to.

You kidding me I'm just trying to help you have an hour left to go until the weekend or go to correct me on Forsyth versus Forsyth, yes, make you celebrate.

So yeah hammer me you Mr. Forsyth that makes you sound more so Robert is the guy she really gets upset with me like red in the face upset when I correct him on something Aaron is seen this happen.

A handful of times he gets so mad when I correct them and he's going to needle me saying all those for site is actually owed. It's not Forsyth went off.

We probably all of that now. Robert is looking at me and the phone lines are just exploding here. Let's go to Taylor is joining us from the south side of Winstone Taylor Forsyth oversight County used to work in advance so sorry man, I hate to needle you but no chance your should I just keep blowing for this I believe Robert will let them on the air but disagree with Doug. Is it a criminal offense to say Forsyth versus side yes your job know the area half a mile from and I bet you five dollars Chris Paul where he went. I went Forsyth County is beautifying out all great weekend, those two things are contradictory to each other.

I stand that first live Forsyth spent the next hour is I'm gay rights. Defined know how you pronounce other things like exactly what this is like we both went to East Carolina University where is that located in Greenville.

Oh, would you correct somebody if they say Greenville no, that's exactly what this is, no. Greenville versus Greenville is the exact same thing as me saying Forsyth versus Forsyth not even close to Forsyth as well. We welcome the phone lines that I love hearing the other fellow North Carolinians say correct. I am a friend of mine who does radio Charlotte WF and Z who went to high school with Chris Paul. If I give you his phone number again me not preparing him at all for this wholesaler of the year. If I give you his phone number and you just randomly call them and we have them on. Do you think you could prepare them for the Kona right now. Okay and will get to the bottom of this guy does radio in Charlotte is a friend of mine. I wanted to be a big reveal, Robert. I will text and through that if if one of my friends go again went to the same high school as Chris Paul.

If he isn't on my side on this then I will be willing to take the L right now but dog and Paul. I probably have their names wrong, who are calling in being set up by Robert and having him put on the air at this moment I don't really buy them as being the people I rely on to say that this is gospel Forsyth versus Forsyth just absurd but anyway Ray Ray Dilworth became North Carolina's 10th in-state four-star for Roy Williams or two before Mack Brown J.

Bateman's is doing a great job. The area recruiters Phil Longo and North Carolina. The bigger headline that I didn't get time to get to before I was bombarded by Robert North Carolina just jumped Clemson in the 2021 recruiting class rankings. According to 24 seven. They are second, not in the state, not in the ACC nationally. Second, because of the players there recruiting in the triad and these are players that always went the Clemson KJ, Henrik, no question. Going to Clemson a guy like Trent Simpson last year Carolina went heavy out of jumped the Clemson player like Eric Maclaine, North Carolina guy goes to Clemson Tanner mute. They built a part of their empire through out recruiting North Carolina schools and now Matt seems to be the biggest threat to that with some of the things he's already doing. I don't even know if you want to take more of these phone calls. My going to Scott Scott where are you calling from what County dating County by Memphis five-county right now. Okay so I take it it's you agree with Robert that it is and under no circumstances Forsyth play out an outfit or side but on the big penne box and other diehard Charlie's Angels fan back in the day and the guide plate. Charlie's name is John Forsyth.

So it all depends on how you're using it. That's interesting.

Thank you so much for the call Robert. Do you agree with that.

Yeah I just think you're using it incorrectly and not your friend not to go but did text me back and say that whatever you're talking about your wrong. Yeah, we'll see if we can get that rectified in just a few minutes but Roy Williams on the why Cassandra Williams why do know the answer because it's North Carolina but Mack Brown is is doing a heckuva job in the birding trail. Williams just lost: Anthony earlier today as cold declared for the NBA draft to surprise anybody. He's good to be a top 10 pick and it's a no-brainer when you are in that class. Roys mentioned it before, that when coping Toby white started flying up draft boards Toby. He was leaning towards wanting to stay but Roy encouraged him to go because he was going to be selected that high. It was a good decision for Toby and he had some success in Chicago last year. His decision coals that is it's a no-brainer. If you're going to be a lot of repair.

Here is the frustrating reality though, returning to Chapel Hill is going to hurt right.

The best way to put it is probably best James Wiseman. He said to be a top iPAQ. He left Memphis when things were immediately going south. The NCAA trouble. He started preparing for the draft. He might even be the number one pick coal at this time last year was projected to be the guy that everybody wanted to get he gets injured a few games into the season.

North Carolina still is a winning record at that point coming off the losses to Ohio State, Virginia. If he doesn't return.

I have a strong feeling: Anthony would be picked higher than where he is going to pick be picked after the Tar Heels losing season, that's not right because when Cole returned and he became healthy and comfortable. He was excellent again. He had against Syracuse. He was awesome even in the losses to Virginia Tech and Notre Dame. He was really good in those games, Virginia Tech, Virginia. Very good and I feel like if he didn't get injured, North Carolina would have a shot to be at NCAA tournament team with the way things started gelling for them. I'm getting a text from the guy in Charlotte and apparently he's in like a lion at KFC, but I just want I just want his opinion on Forsyth versus Forsyth so I want that's all I want what you what you imagining what you expecting you. II think he will be more accepting kind of like that last caller understanding it can be both other caller said it depends how you use it if it's someone's name and that's how you say their name, then you Forsyth is fine if you're an idiot but if you enjoy saying things correctly, which I know you do. You're a big pronunciation guy you love getting all the syllables enunciated. You love the where the tongue placement is when you're talking. I know you did that stuff and just try to help you out.

I don't want to be wrong. I don't think it's wrong for right but I just find it interesting.

You're the guy that hates being needled about things that you're going to be the need or on the kneeler reject Batman villain was a terrible going on. I don't know if you had the pistol the plasma pistol charge that thing up, that would be a great look to have the kneeler along with that if you can you can have two guns at once. I always enjoyed that. Apparently he's listening and he says Forsyth I think it is boarded. I taste and I don't believe are notably not just fabricate whatever you're saying right now and text okay your reading the text you George's phone around like around six spelling FOUR – sigh versus after you are – sigh. Makers are like memories like bursae sales per site. It would be FDR bursae is life guy I really care this travesty. I can even be real at this gift, give them a call right now how my cash just let's let's see if he's the person and is is like someone besides a real person none.

I know this is a real person who does radio in the state and I need because now he's reneging he's he saying that it's actually something else anyway. I don't think were going to be able to solve this right now. Adam a means to join us in a little over 15 minutes. Maybe he might have a weird story where he's been asked to broadcast something randomly. I remember I was in a fraternity house in Chapel Hill. My brother was in the fraternity and they heard. I did play-by-play broadcasting. They said hey will pay you and beer in the hundred dollars to broadcaster FIFA tournament most fun I've ever had until now were being joined by a morning host for WF NZ and Charlotte. It is Travis Hancock better-known is T-bone with us with a high school with Chris Paul and I was just bringing out the stories of Mack Brown ways been recruiting of late and I said they got a kid from West Forsyth high school and Robert.

He immediately jumps in and says not enough. It's first I where do you follow this all is well.

Robert Robert correct. I believe it for more than four now were along the line it probably what before, but in all my years in my head orally found it weird like an outsider thing went for site fights out more accurate when I heard about are grown up so agree, just to say Forsyth weird like kinda know you're not from the area. We thought about or talk about well. We've had four or five different callers who have not said for all set for site so I guess I'm wrong on this and I said you're the only person I would rely on being an authority on this subject in here you are.

I finally concede that I'm wrong I apologize.

It's the greatest mistake I've ever made. Like all right what about it. Your first like that's what you probably were, but I don't remember it being really called back your outlet or five blackberry one circle per this is so stupid T-bone enjoy enjoy your white claws. Thanks for doing. I didn't try to sabotage it all. Robert you can vouch for me. I texted him is it for her. I didn't try to sabotage the pole at all. Robert correct the rate hey dive headfirst into the like will buddy good to hear from you, that's a T-bone WF NZ and Charlotte okay I'm wrong I have the right to be wrong. Sometimes it's okay but the raise he was talking about how I get one of the combine we break down the NFC South over unders wins this year and there couple more over unders. I think I would be smart to bet on. This is the drive low stiff socks voice. He also loves to take to keep his skin so you looking your drive with Josh Gray. Jordan is 6 foot 605 pounds quite high school baseball Carolina Abilene high Michael is from Wilmington outfielder to the writings wind up in the one okay. I love that blue with the announcer parent.

He shared that on social media earlier today.

That's Michael Jordan's first. It is a professional baseball player. I think most people who have followed Jordan's career might know that Terry Francona was the manager of that team. Way back when, how about this for a stat if you don't know his first picture he faced John Courtwright, Duke grad so you had Carolina versus Duke on April 8, 1994 that was very cool. In a perfect way to segue into our next guest to Chicago and Adam Amin from ESPN is pretty much broadcast everything.

Give me a sense out how composed with 21 or 22-year-old Adam amine sound if he was broadcasting Michael Jordan wall while also calling minor-league baseball man. I talked to heard about or to hurt one of the all-time great minor-league baseball broadcasters in the country and an absolute staple would not occur for broadcasters when they think Birmingham got right what culture like imaginative suddenly Steph Curry decided he was going to go play minor-league hockey and you're the announcer for like the Syracuse crunch and you're doing games.

Steph Curry is trying to muscle his way through the minor it. It's a very like jarring thing out.

Imagine if your and Kirk's shoes and he did such a great job that people will talk about the job that he did covering Michael and you got stories from that great summer, but I would imagine being just an absolute all and try to get over that you know and and and on the other side of the broadcaster here when you're 20, 21, 22, you're in the early part of your career, your school really at that age, kind of like awestruck by people and buy new place is it still so new, I would. I would think they'll get arrested with a superstar at that level would just be jaw-dropping so I can I can understand a lot of what of the story and the joy you cut it here when you get to talk about that that at the time in your life or your absorbency so much.

I would think I'd be shocked to have an opportunity like that your company putting out the last dance 10 part doc you series Sunday start at 9 o'clock episodes one into you're in Chicago right now. How would you describe what Michael means to that city.

I mean it still to this day I think the thing that defied the city as much of anything else.

Culturally, I think it still represent the team itself. The brand itself represent that represent the city so much. You go to and and a lot of that most of that have to do with that era of Chicago Bulls basketball because that was the global explosion of the NBA when especially the Chinese, Japanese, Korean market get the Asian markets in general became much more aware of Michael Jordan his name and become synonymous with basketball around the world.

You know the way the baby superstar like a Cristiano Rinaldo might be one of the hand full of people you think of when you think of soccer globally. Although that's a recognizable moneymaking, young, handsome superstar in a major market and plan for a major team that's kind of what could a readability translation would be so bad that type of impact an error in an era where there was no social media when there wasn't a conductivity be having to still penetrate the market across the world, Europe and Africa and Asia.

Be as well-known as he was, that's globally now think about kind of you know, put that into a microscope.

That's almost impossible to call you really put into words what you mean to the city you know that that's been put on the map and a lot of waste with certain portion of the population.

City of Chicago is known to them through Michael. I can't imagine what it's like to distill that thinking about it. Just in the North Carolina context is from Wilmington. Of course, and he won Dean Smith's first national championship hitting the shot on the left wing off the as is from Jimmy black and just one title VI. I will even know how to begin describe that but as someone who's followed the polls pretty much your entire life. Do you have a favorite Michael Jordan game it so hard to break that down God gave Dick the 98 is not my favorite game is my favorite. Probably my favorite moment of the lack by five favorite game a little bit more deep. Cut a little bit more deep cut here. I feel not have question at the right time to ponder that considering that you will be flooded with a lot of emotion probably unfunded. I for a lot of you know what I think it would have to be 97. I think it's a 38 game by letting I think the 38 flu game is probably just the greatest fear performance. I think I've seen an the part of me that the broadcaster is probably a little biased toward that game.

I had a chance to call Sabrina, you two K-1 K-1 K milestone game this year.

No player in college history men's or women's division. What ever at 2000 point thousand rebounds for an she accomplish that feat on the same in Palo Alto. It occurred on the same day that he was in Los Angeles during the morning to speak at Kobe Bryant Memorial and then travel to Stanford from Los Angeles with the flu and then had a triple double including benign rebounds plus necessary to reach if you know that that milestone and that the type of game you live for the broadcaster. I think that maybe thesheer will of that game 597. When any image of Scotty hugging him coming off the court of the game. I think that that is the definition so many people draw inspiration from Michael right after he passed Brandon Robinson a place for North Carolina. They were playing in Raleigh against NC State: Anthony still heard at this point the season has just gone off completely awful direction for the Tar Heels at that point and be Rob's been hurt pretty much all season and he comes out of the game with the leg and then Roy didn't know if it wasn't really dealt with at practice earlier in the week he was in a car accident at around that time. He went back in the game.

Hit important foul shots won the game and afterwards he's being asked what kinda given that motivation and it was thinking about Michael Jordan and how he would've reacted in similar circumstances at an amine joining us from ESPN I I have to know this is a hard transition. A hard left turn here.

What's the biggest take away you had from your resume call earlier today when you have all the dog mascots in college sports together a what it has come to an quarantine like be if this is what it comes to it, it really that bad. A lot of Bulldogs isn't just Bulldogs because I didn't see no no no no, we've got the majority bold, but we had a couple of you from washing. Jonathan from Yukon a couple of Greyhound from the University of Indianapolis that we had a little bit of that but I think that before the college mascot though the bulldog people college mascot Bobby what did you take away from it. You can find it on twitter at Adam amine but was it was very insightful.

Stop to listen.the dogs are dealing with quarantine like much like we are a little bit of listlessness a little bit yoga and much like I did. Right before you called me when the door bell rings, or the door not an delivery of food is here that takes precedence over pretty much anything else.

This might be the best worst question you get asked today Darren Ravel. He tweeted this out.

He said that an adult film site says it's gonna pay Joe Bock $1 million, or offer Joe Bock $1 million to announce some of their KM shows and that led to Joe Bock being reached out to by Sports Illustrated to give this following response.

I am highly qualified as I've been practicing these calls most my life but I don't want to take the job without proper open audition. So if they get Jim Nance, Al Michaels and Mike to Rico and all the others who want to do what I do to audition. I'm in.

Of course having fun with a lot of it, but it had me thinking. What is the strangest thing Adam amine's been asked to do play-by-play for to lend his voice to pigs.

Even when I did play-by-play. I remember him at a frat house and some guy said hey will pay you $100 and pay you would be here to do play-by-play for our fee for soccer league or something like that. I certainly took him up on. I would like the idea that you came to call your friend at that point I don't think anything that I called on TV is been all that strange. Oh, you know what I remember this contest for a start yeah me, but again we love you know like what was right with carpentry, carpentry, or like a hate show that was like you know like a I would be like a National Geographic type show or TLP type show that like a game show whether Blake doing carpentry, carpentry, you will not know. I do not know.

I don't think, by the way, that project never saw the light of day, so maybe I made the right, at one point I was approached about doing something along those line excellent Adam, I hope you're staying safe.

Hope you enjoy the documentary Sunday night.

Thanks for spending some time in North Carolina thanks my friend about
