The Drive with Josh Graham - Shareef Abdur-Rahim

Drive with Josh Graham 5 Castle Dr. sports media, radio or on television at the medical potential talk about the rent relief or Camden shoulder so to bring in one of the best sports fetus in the region talk about but we have a look at this line verse.

Quite frankly, is a heavy blow to the show and quite frankly I hope it is true, but according to reports Paul Pierce will not be brought back on ESPN's NBA countdown.

In addition to Michelle Beadle and Chauncey Billups Pierce. The last few months he's been one of our biggest content generators.

This spring, and even though he says crazy things from time to time miss him. It's hard to be interesting as a studio analyst like let's go for the less let's go through the list of interesting sports analyst who were asked to sit on pregame shows post game shows and say interesting things who do that successfully, who are consistently even if the wrong get points. People react one way or another to what they have to say shortlist for me goes Charles Barkley, one per curb Street to nobody in the NFL moves me either way.

Nobody in baseball the same way baseball hat that would Pete Rose, but they got rid of him. Then they threw a rod and will both so how many other people are interesting in that role appears is an interesting guy you want a ring and he was really climbing up the ranks quickly in terms of building a name for himself. That's hard to do if he leaves ESPN he's got Fox written all over him. This guy because whatever you get less exposure. You're naturally going to throw out more opinions out there you're always competing to say the thing so everyone tries to one up each other.

I'm seeing some folks on Fox today say that Kevin Durrant injury is not only to change his career forever changed again be forever. It's up to so many guys who have left ESPN, which is the biggest sports pub. Excuse the pun that you're going to find so with less exposure somewhere else. You're just gonna ramp up the hot takes that's what happened with Whitlock Bayless that would have to whip or start to happen with them. Many people who have left ESPN and gone somewhere else with less exposure, so I'm not sure if Paul Pierce is going to be leaving ESPN, but I find it interesting that after just a year and change these off the countdown crew. They're not going to bring them back after this year.

According to these reports is really one of the two guys I've enjoyed on that show for the last 10 years. Him and Bill Simmons. They got rid of Simmons are being two of opinionated and I don't know why they're getting rid of Paul Pierce, probably because he is wrong to get made fun of a lot which is fine I will look at the negative thing I think that's kind of what you want Charles Barkley's wrong all the time.

The support limb is going to beat Golden State if they didn't have Kevin Durrant and of course Golden State swept the Blazers, that stuff really doesn't matter. I have a conspiracy theory with this.

See if you welcome this the MBA has a massive television deal with ESPN. Is it possible that they see the final product. Finals are on ABC, ESPN, you know that TNT would do with anything the land the finals that the MBA quite frankly just that we don't like Paul Pierce but somebody else on their how many people in MBA broadcasting art expendable. I think the list goes Charles Barkley and that's it. I don't think anybody else isn't expendable. So maybe they didn't like the fact that Paul Pierce said ridiculous things from time to time. It did so on the biggest product that the MBA has to offer. But putting that aside he created a lot of great content for us the last few months. So let's pay tribute to him. The only way we know how let's remember the last few months. Paul Pierce on ESPN's NBA countdown is on all Milwaukee watch this today. I'll tell Mr. home you know you know Boston did not overpower Milwaukee instead Milwaukee 14 in a row. And even though is not better than Dwayne Wade. Despite, you know facts, you miss him. 336-777-1600 if you want to know today show at sports of dryad on Twitter Desmond Johnson is taking her calls at 777-1600 and in turn, Aaron is herein turning to justice. You know I Paul Pierce seeable by me about your position across sports are interesting.

You can hate Paul Pierce but there aren't many people in that position were talking about on this show who are creating content for us. There's Barkley there's maybe Corso and Herb Street and that's it. I don't think there's anybody else in football. Who does that.

I don't think there's anybody in baseball. There was Pete Rose. We enjoyed that.

I was like a meteor flying through the sky.

There's nobody else I do respect the fact that I literally hate him as on-air personality item is a basketball player.

More from anything else during the finals on television network TV that he pooped his pants. He did that and he started the NBA finals by not listening to Michelle Beadle who was sitting 2 feet away from him. Just not listening to the first 15 seconds of the broadcast. I respect the man for how interesting and compelling. He was, and we have a lot of basketball were going to do today is not dead. He said to me now that is not to be in consciousness. It is probably good to leave ESPN and go somewhere else of the reports are true is going to say crazy things because that's the only way you can get people to talk about your nowadays it's a shame a lot of basketball Sharif Abdur Rahim is the G league Commissioner. He's in the triad today, so we'll catch up with him at some point look forward to that. However and wherever you are listening appreciate that you could find the best of podcasts available in SoundCloud iTunes podcast Google plus a lot of former player talk today. I'm not sure for to be dating ourselves or isolating anybody but Sharif Abdur Rahim is in a pretty significant job as a currently as the Julie Commissioner but he's a former player. I think he was on the 2000 Sydney Olympics team for the United States so he certainly qualifies as a good former player Paul Pierce. Of course, and Nick.

Then Axel he flew into the news today while riding a golf cart. He broke some major news and Nick Van Axel was upset so I scuffed everybody know I'm on Twitter followers and freeze my family and will disappoint you taste so good you been X will there forgiving his family members and friends who nice coffee crazier that he's never had probably in his 40s now, or the fact he believes iced coffee is the best drink he's ever had like it's not even the best kind of coffee.

I'm a big coffee drinker, hot coffee better than iced coffee. Just days even when it's hot outside. I preferred the hot coffee versus the cold coffee. You know not to think about it ever had iced coffee before heat hot coffee five never even wanted to try cold iced coffee. But today show your can we find a way to get iced coffee to Desmond Johnson and figure this out intern Aaron, could you possibly maybe or somebody else in the office.

The US is around here can you go down the street and get dozen iced coffee. Please do this is not a coffee shop in this building.

There might be a coffee shop at this building I know there's one right down the street.

There's coffee places all over the place with Jonathan downstairs. Maybe let's get Dez in iced coffee.

Let's work on that drive is broadcast live in the Law offices of Timothy D.

Wellborn studios learn more about them up. One of the ways they can help you out on their website. Tim Wellborn.com at sports orthopedist that literally wrote the book on sports injuries that have impacted sports is Dr. David Geyer Wake Forest graduate Vicki practices that he will join us in a short while to fill us in on cam Newton Phyllis in on Kevin Durrant. Of course chat with Sharif Abdur Rahim will try to get Dez in iced coffee before things are all said and done as well, and I didn't watch the bachelorette live last night because I was watching that book smart movie but a fool got the DVR going to man a lot and her bachelor minutes today to do but we know who the hard knocks team is going to be for this fall. That's been made official will tell you who that is. And also, what would it look like the Panthers ever hosted hard knocks, that's next on the drive is 620 with Josh Graham the moment I saw Kevin Durrant go down and grab his Achilles leaving game five of the NBA finals. Then we saw cam Newton growing yesterday morning as the minicamp. The first person I thought that I wanted to speak to is our next guest, Dr. David Geyer, author sports orthopedist somebody who can give us the medical details that quite frankly much everybody in the media lacks when they talk about the implications of injuries, such as Kevin Durrant and were seeing a lot of opinions from left and right.

What this means for the warriors. What this means for Katie's career and with cam Newton, who we learned this week has been throwing for the last month. According to Albert Brearley only learned about it. Just two weeks ago and he's throwing in one spot and is growing further than 15 yards. Dr. David Geyer.

You can find on Twitter as well follow him at Dr. David Geyer GE i.e. are kind enough to spend some time with us in the triad this afternoon Dr. Geyer what was your first thought when you saw Katie go down to the fair saw that they replay I didn't see it live like he got hurt again in a clip of it. I warned about the risk of implying that the again.

But what I expected to happen was not that he injured his Achilles, but would reenter the calf muscle above it.what I reinjured it Be another 6 to 8 weeks, but that you'll it felt like were about the here and we started here that is actually much worse than that Bob Myers first thing he said the general manager of the warriors was that it's a different injury, it's the Achilles, not the calf.

Do you buy that explanation. Considering your background or do you sense a little bit disingenuous disingenuousness when referencing this because of how link they seem to be questioning everything that they value you without being involved going to assume that there is Injury all along I've never really did that because Injury are really painful and they take a long time. Everybody thought oh there's got to be more to it. The you'll quickly heal quickly. That's four weeks minimum it sometimes six weeks or even a week so that surprised me and I don't think he's necessarily wrong here in this and the Achilles are related to the same sort of multiple complex but very different location, but I think the challenge is that we can talk about yesterday, or should they not of blood play, but no question that Lincoln made. If you never had to Injury. You can tear your Achilles you out of the blue like Kobe did, but I don't think that's what happened. I think that this is absolutely linked to the primary injury. Dr. David Geyer is someone home to the Carolinas you still practice in Charleston. Dr. Geyer, I do. I would wait or for undergrad but yet about midnight Charleston stuff you want to find his book.

That's gotta hurt which literally written about the injuries that affected sports the most. So if you're interested in the topic that's a great book that you could buy more books are sold. If it Katie's 32.

The next time he plays basketball. What version of Kd might we see coming back considering what you know. Yeah injury such as the Achilles if it is the account at the yeah where he grabbed it absolutely could Achilles and the fact of the thing about Achilles another thing. Get the mantra they are getting an MRI, but you know when you examine the Achilles or there like a big defect big gap between one and the other is very obvious in the fact that they were saying it was Achilles militant toward Achilles.

Having said that, hear the bad news is not somewhat related to him being dirty now that you reference will take probably all of next season off the problem with Achilles rupture and study dialogue NBA players in the rough rough injury players get back to play at the same level they were, which is great and hopefully that happens with Kd third of the players after Achilles surgery get back, but they're never quite the same, and never get back to play at all. Those numbers are really discouraging. Hopefully will be in the third that get back is good as he was again you mentioned it made it just really tricky. Not a power clearly not Yanez or Russell Westbrook may not affect him as much, but when you're looking at Max contracts and all that is certainly cause for concern things over to Camden very quickly because, like I mentioned he's been throwing the last month or so and it might be a little bit different throwing motion. But that that's football related things. What we know is it's the second operation that's been performed on the shoulder and much the biggest difference between this one and 2017 I think. And you can correct me if I'm wrong is the timing of it where he had he had it taken care of in January. This time versus March 2017. Cam didn't participate throwing minicamp in 2017 but in the last month. Again he feels strong enough to throw a regulation size football overhand and throw it at the length of 5015 yards or so.

So when you hear that, what does that tell you about the state of the shoulder. I'm actually fairly encourage. I know that sounds worrisome when you hear all you delete throwing 15 yards.

Is there a reason that he can't throw further but I think they're trying to avoid flaring it up.

The good news with all along you mentioned January that that's really good work undercover but even more importantly, when the surgeon went there while reports out of the NFL.

What that surgeon found that rotator cuff tendon repair in the work he had before was intact. They just had to clean it up meeting there was foyer now that that was probably inching inside his shoulder. We do overhead motion caulking is gone back to throw that go by only having to clean it up and not reattaching it with stitches and anchors online when essentially a year recovery to your 3 to 4 months and I think that that would be about right. Rolling about at the timeline you would expect at this point, that doesn't worry me that he delete throwing certain positions in certain distant will gradually increase that the move the directions around and thing like that think like that.

If he goes so that they build strength appropriately without flaring it up and back weeks. How much more susceptible is cam shoulder to reinjury. Now this is the second time it's been operated on.

Yeah that's the trick is that it is hard to know two things you worry about one throwing athlete and that motion is not sort of abnormal motion on this rotator cuff tendon is something that had two surgeries in the most recent of which is cleaning that area. It's not like you know what a quarterback that never had a shoulder injury rotator cuff injury, his risk would be much lower than can. I don't know that he at risk necessary for hearing it but I think it's not inconceivable for him to have disorders periodically.

Probably you'll probably often on see him throughout the season. Sitting out some practices to give his shoulders breath. I don't think you'll see a game changer. What he has a specific injury but it would not surprise me if he sipped certain practice without a given time to rest and things like that and and and we make here, maybe even see them listed on the injury reports during the week cautionary measure. I think we will hear about it throughout the season.

I don't think it's going to limit his on-field performance of its ports, orthopedist Dr. David Geyer on twitter at Dr. David Geyer at DR David Geyer and the book is that's gotta hurt. I want to let you in on the topic that we've been talking about the day, that's a little bit more every man here. Are you a coffee maker by chance, I actually I cut back a bit dated now I likely would laugh at me before surgery could add a couple coffee before we started surgery that will make man excellent really spark things.

The former basketball player. He had nothing to say on the golf course earlier today. This is what it was so so, the hi Scott this morning. Everybody know I'm on the followers. A simple phone phrase my family is disappointed since it taste so good iced coffee or hot coffee. Dr. David Geyer.

What say you like hot coffee, even in the warm weather all my friends or I probably need to give it a try.

I'm right there with you are are our Internet. Aaron works on the show came in and he brought us some iced coffee that were going to have a just a bit and get to the bottom of this, but appreciate the insight in the meantime and you squeeze it in some time for us.

Thank you anytime really. I look forward to talking to you got it. That's Dr. David Geyer and again pick up the book I've read it. It's a very good book. If you're interested, it's just another angle on sports and it provides expertise that quite frankly nobody else in the media is giving you. I don't care what podcast you're listening to what show you have there. There are many people who have medical credentials who could give you the insight and the specifics of what these injuries look like in a way that's not squeamish.

That's not to hurt squeamish people and also just very insightful stuff there. So we have the iced coffees in studio. We have that here working to get to the bottom of this this this red hot debate you can chime in on 336-777-1600 copyrights coffee on twitter at sports.

I'll try and on top of that a player in the NBA finals who played college basketball right here in the Carolina and might be the most important player in this series who hasn't logged a minute in any of these games.

This is the drive in this sports have 609 20 series talk. Now back to the drive with Josh Graham basketball. The Carolina's now and VA you've never heard of that lawyers rat will tell you about the first this tweet from tyrannosaurus when I'm not been suppressing your mom's Toyota Corolla buying shell faded flat brimmed hat I'm downing iced coffees like my Hummer H2 down also.

Johnson claims to have never had Aaron went and ran and grabbed some right here in Kernersville, where our studios that and he's brought some in studio. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I've had iced coffee before I have one in hand right now and Desmond's about to try 12 and this could be disastrous results. Like when we did the Coca-Cola orange vanilla soda that one time and actually didn't taste bad, but it was just very over the top, sugary, and it was a lot better taste.

It just left you that last hour of the show supervisory being. Yeah, like we were reverberating and shaking and it was a strange results of that could happen here. Have you taken a sip of the iced coffee yet, which Dick Van Axel earlier today tried and said was the best drink he's ever had. I have not been saving it parenting back in with the right drinks or what to say that there's a coffee shop down the street. The Mr. Golden opportunity for shout out on the drive but erred in telling these coming from the drive so that it know you better so it's fine I thought of something, anything, free.

I just just go and pay for your coffee, it's fine when I'm interning from the driver just it probably would've worked fine though like this. This is the difference between me and Desi or Dez.

These get a triangle get the free stuff. Damn right I don't care. Dez is the person or goes to the movie theater walks in and sees that the screen isn't playing like the previews or is it playing like the advertisements before and uses that as an opportunity to get free tickets at movies like that, but I have family members that are actually drive me nuts when I do that kind of thing on the kind of person word the service to be horrible if the $55 and you know I want to do the play-by-play very quickly.

Dez taking his first sip ever in 41 years of life. So I'm iced coffee you order this iced coffee is organized coffee so I had no idea how you like what everyone calm down I want to know what this interaction sounded like you walked up to the sky who I'd like the picture probably is is it a smaller place this a tiny spot.

Yes, he got God probably has a beard. He looks like he owns.

He owns a joint goes through to the wall were towards us, that's a good thing if there's pictures of the person serving you the coffee on the wall that is a good sign. So you walk up to this man and what do you say to him what I would observe in case I don't try to make a fool of myself. I deserve the menu before approaching the counter and I noticed there were several variations of iced beverages right so which one do you chew right as I started I don't know. I left my phone I can call when I took my car and then I get I get my email now was born in Jakarta saw your picture on God is not going to have to take my car to save his coffees with APD. I don't think your job is what I look a little different from the front counter to go to the back to get the coffees ruefully. All the guys who so drastically.

So glad I what this man not just say hey I need to Laura's iced coffee, that would be the two iceberg ice bruise.

That's about right and go cream my man. I don't know. I have no idea not know this because I like black coffee but we did agree on just a dollop of cream to specific others. Okay, that's good.

Little to sweet alright so we know what were dealing with now let's see Desmond Johnson. Let's find out together with that is going to think it's good for radio and shaking it up near the micronized.

That's a good sign.

Dez trying iced tea is for the person I mean what's is staring at it now is put the struggle against his lips. He's taken a step and all these jerked his head backwards is making us sick look on his face.

Dez does not seem to like what he's just tasted a slight good for the that taste like a liquid feet smells like.

It's like no sense if they forgot to suck on a coffee bag. I hope he sells like they had flavors but I didn't visit the strata coffee cream ice. Dez does not like what he states like that iced coffee or hot coffee. 336-777-1600 at sports hub triad.

This show is going to change every single step. He has had iced coffee is contemplating life right now right in the mean okay so let me get to this player whose impacting the finals that you probably have not heard of its former basketball player from the Southern conference not UNC Greensboro. Unfortunately, it's Furman and I'm talking about Jordan Lloyd Jordan Lloyd hasn't played a minute of these NBA finals, but his role has been to stand in during practice and mimic Steph Curry. He's been the one during practice trying to give the raptors a good look at what they're supposed to expect when going head-to-head.

He hasn't played more than 12 minutes in a game this year with the raptors.

He did help them a lot and their G league franchise, and apparently void has done a really good job of emulating Curry Boyd told Kevin O'Connor of the ringer. It's hard for me to even catch the ball. I can't imagine what it's like for staff.

He 64, 220 pounds, so he kinda looks the part, but it's a player from Fort Furman who is mimicking Steph Curry a practice as a scout for the Toronto Raptors.

And speaking of Canada. Canada needs to check itself Canada TV criticizing the US women's national team yesterday. They scored 13 goals and you know what they did during most of those.

After most of those goals. They celebrated.

They were happy Alex Morgan doing the most gangster things you can do when scoring five goals doing account on your fingers just court exceeded the 123455 goals for Alex Morgan and Megan were Pinot did one of those slides after she made it nine or 10 did nothing in Canada was having none of it. We tried to find this audio, but apparently it's hard to clear audio from Canada so this was what was said. I understand there's a gold. The differential race in this tournament.

I understand there nervous about the idea of drawing Sweden later in the tournament, but this was disgraceful from the United States. I would've hoped they could've one with humility and grace, but celebrating with time. All were really unnecessary." Man Canada. They hate celebrating and sports.

They really do. I mean the only thing missing from this Canadian soccer analyst with calling the US national team a bunch of jerks. That's right, the US women's national team has turned into the Carolina hurricanes like here is what it would've sounded like if Don Sherry was asked what the what his opinion was of the US women's national team celebrating while leading 13 the nothing.

So why are you mad at.

I this is a National Hockey League written Amar is a good court. You put these guys to me are jerks you have to do this in the last still not drawn. This is to me and I'll tell you one thing they better not do this in the player when I don't understand is Brind'Amour.

It's a straight shooter.

He always what this is a joke in the young men expressing themselves for joy when it is professional like one of these guys are jerks and I'll tell you one thing is that while the game is over.

I always liked her. When you send it when you win only that's what you like Mohammed Ali worries if you don't do it before I know the rest of the people I know all broadcasters interviewing afraid to say something like that.

Are jerks going to like it. I know you I know what I'm talking about. You never do anything like that. Still not drawn there much of jerks. As far as I'm concerned, the analogy almost stood up, but it still is some of the greatest audio that's ever been produced. Joy of winning.

Look at them so so cited resting them so so excited. The joy of winning, avocado, Don, Sherry and I celebrated it having Friday it's bards. I have a question and it's actually related to gender with terms of this all dumped on us this question. I know you're going on around going nowhere ago would people would people care if it were the men not with a care with me with this be an issue but asked like they know because in 1992.

Drinking was blown out everybody on the planet and everyone was cheering for them to score more divorce getting beside him, taking photographs and autograph United States men's team were up 10 1112 the nothing and celebrating it would be a story. People would care the same way. Don Sherry is lamenting and getting mad at the US at the Carolina hurricanes deep after games amended. This is it's going to happen.

I don't I don't view this there's many areas. I do welcome the gender inequality thing and gender double standard. This is not one of those places were they supposed to do you play soccer how you tone it down like what are they supposed to like Alex Morgan firing back today.

Alex Morgan cc turn the entire story on it said think it would be disrespectful to Thailand.

If we eased up trolling of the message right there.

Alex Morgan. This is always good to happen.

It's fine. Sports is an entertainment vehicle. I'm glad Jill Ellis stood up for them. I'm glad she said you know what were knocking a layoff. This is the World Cup would been waiting for years for this. This is the pinnacle of the profession. Stop us from scoring. But my perspective on this is the same way it was for Max Muncy hitting the homerun off Madison Bumgarner and watching. If you don't want me to watch it if you don't want me to hit the ball into McCovey Cove to dig out of the ocean thinking. In hindsight, on that quote by the way, it doesn't really make much sense does it say if you don't want me to. If you don't want me to hit a homerun. How you pull it out of the water is a really check out post it almost was a great line almost got but that didn't really make much sense but we just kind of accepted it because in that sport.

You don't really see much trash being talked, you don't see much shade being thrown, but I have on the United States. I take it over the top.

Next time if I'm going only Brandi Chastain celebration sign off now and rip it ripping off the jersey after every single goal in taking the yellow card any of this bother you watching me unaware because I was in here getting interrupted by you.

Every single segment yesterday apartments.

We didn't know there will score 13 oh that was little abnormal show will be a funny concept to have a habit we interrupt you, Josh. Every time the United States Ct. great, that's fine because again, go USA will have to once twice 13 times all like they hurt us, but more so we need to keep Canada and check we need to put Canada on notice I'm not going as far as Clay Travis did this morning saying that we need to bomb Canada wants you to do that through they might be taking our basketball championship they've already taken one of our superheroes Ryan Reynolds is is a superhero superheroes should be American in the manner speaking superhero should be American were losing all of them were losing weight loss Batman. We lost Spider-Man Andrew Garfield friendly Europeans we lost Robert. We lost Willis Batman Robert patents and for God sake more vampires were losing superheroes were losing basketball championships and were not to lose the championship fight. You were just not your listening W STS Winston-Salem WPC WMF or Highpoint WC or degree and for all the signals picking up transports is 609 20 now drive with Josh Graham be a player really just a reminder that the drive is brought to you by her friends watch the finals there on wall-to-wall TV and also its legendary sports watching experience when you're there when painful Boulevard 29°. Wrap your flooring from every If you like an MVP. The moment you walk in. I just love it when they have frosting right at the top of it. You know it's that cold and there's nothing better this time of your cold beer in the game on Twin Peaks drinks scenic view. A lot of things we want to talk to Shareen Sharif Abdul Rahim about including his experience with the US basketball team in the Sydney Olympics back in 2000.

It's crazy to think Vince Carter dumped that basketball 19 years ago and he still playing professional basketball is going to break a record this year. Right now Vince is tied with guys like Dirk Devitt ski and Kevin Garnet playing 21 years in the NBA. If he gets picked up by somebody that still needs to happen. Vince Carter will play his 22nd season in the up yet, something that nobody is ever done in league history. So there's history and that way but the dunk is something I think it's gonna be forever remembered. And of course, once again, Sharif was on that team so will ask him about that. Maybe we'll talk to them about iced coffee to and in addition Kevin Durrant being injured. Everyone seems to have a thought on that today we still don't know for sure if it's a ruptured Achilles but Bob Myers is a.there crying at a podium if it's just a sprain so will get the details on that.

When ultimately they come out, but mostly I want to talk about the fact that the G league's been in the headlines in recent weeks, with comments from the MBA Commissioner, Adam Silver, and Shareef Abdur Rahim is visiting Greensboro. I understand for the first time as the G league Commissioner Commissioner.

It's good to have you here. What brings you to town Commissioner's observer. He what brings you to town I understand it the first time you been to Greensboro will correct will correct. Robert agreed rollover here are the president of the year over the one on inviting me here worked out one port on degrees when I want to talk to you about the league and hold a little bit because Adam Silver said a few weeks ago talking about one of the top high school prospects.

Speaking about RJ Hampton decided to go to Australia said he's a little bit jealous because in our league.

The G league were trying to create our own professional track. He said he wanted to talk to you about that and that was a few weeks ago so on that specific topic. What conversations have you and Adam had about what you want. The future of the G league to look like one going are covered know in general, we want to be placed in a platform for development of of all young, what you see that the last couple years going on there option have a place to go if they didn't want the program, however, is something that we started recruiting will continue to look at it your understanding that community for young players, but we do have an opportunity unbelievable cold not only unbelievable, you cardio also played years better than someone like Coco currently offered is more common, and I want to make sure to clarify what exactly you and the MBAs stance is on the G what you don't view college basketball as a competitor, but instead you just want to be the best option for prospects want to retain some of the prospects who choose to not go to college route to go professional legal you are there. Look. We want to have a document so we know it. Create salary or select contract clearly have a we have a committee regarding what you expected, MBA, Claire would offer him know what employee development know all of our dedicated player development development all you will start here rear start cooking class at a local program that is not a competition to try living around being a four quarter young that where you would still pick something else. You called. They called. What should G league Commissioner Shareef Abdur Rahim with this year. On the drive. You are listening to the sports ceiling president is going one on one if the one done is eliminated, which is something that Adam Silvers talked about wanting to see happen. Maybe by 2021 2022. If that comes to be what what do you think what impact do you think that's going to be on the daily prayer of the 2019 graphics good timing that you so gnarly getting younger and younger, think that you know is in younger cohort of players legally Clear for goldplated. One thing I wanted to ask you about Vince Carter was in the news in recent weeks. He wants to play another season of basketball which is crazy.

These he's like 21 is a real and he's trying to break a record over 22 were on all tell me there's no you are on the 2000 team that played in sending US per US basketball. He had the dunk that everybody still talks about today what you remember specifically about that don't, that game that locker room the hype that followed the heart. You moment like that rarely do you realize you are right away. You will that maybe you right away.

Okay will you know that will be declared out G league Pres. Shareef Abdur the machine kind enough to spend some time with us this afternoon in Greensboro before let's go. It's just been confirmed by Kd on a social media that he ruptured his Achilles and it's a real shame to see something like that happen, but as a former player. What you make of all the finger-pointing that seems to be happening the last two days about who's the blame for Katie going down to Eau Claire calendar any clear one that no one we don't have all the information. Ultimately, he made a play she you will know show a commitment that he had cleared wisher be the complete recovery.

Don't know technology and find you'll get back to where he was better say that you, I think the most important thing for last. Nick Van XO was on a golf course earlier today posted a video of himself drinking iced coffee.

He said he was mad at family members and friends for not letting them know about iced coffee. He says it's the best drink he's ever had iced coffee or hot coffee. Shareef Abdur Rahim called wow go totally coffee while Shareef, I appreciate you spending some time with us in visiting with the green screens from earlier today. I have written down president so II actually just can't read. I butchered that and I apologize but I hope to catch up sometime soon. Know no problem promoting already.

Thank you so much. That's not Shareef Abdur received the league president I Commissioner I get I gave him a promotion.

Things like that happen. I do have it written down G league president instead of Commissioner those of the things that bother me the most. You know that you can you can attest to it behind the scenes when it when I have an opinion that someone doesn't like or somebody doesn't think something's funny, I'm fine with that.

Taking swings the things that bother me the most. More than anything else is getting a fact wrong Dale you're putting your premises stickler for after that, I'll thing so I I I don't know why I call them Commissioner I got I had president written down here and sorry buddy yet called me on. Rightfully so rightfully so red iced coffee either, so Nick Van XO try to for the first time does Ben Johnson try to for the first time. We'll see if Shareef Abdur Rahim follows that trend sometime soon, but it's time for thoughts and let you know are headed with this any idea I never have a clue where you're looking at this number were you doing sports injuries injuries next on the drop talk with Josh brand six 920 know this week feeling going to have surgery on top of that back from his shoulder surgery throwing football so for a month. Top 10 injuries at the time for weekly top 10 list top 10 sports injuries tweeting toward some triad and my dad is clearly listening right now because I just look at my phone and I have three messages out of context would be three very funny thing to have texted your way growing pool hammy concussion. Three messages with Mr. Brown. I got contentless time and what we what we've also been discussing, as well as we need more sounds in this segment like this segment really needs the laughter from Dez and Erin to carry it, but when it's not there.

They're not going to give us fake laughter because that's not what we do here when it's not that we need.

Sounds for each and every one radio works. We need more sounds. In addition to the Bucci music that's played each and every week for the segment, so I've asked Dez to accrue.

That's an injury that seems a lot more painful than it sounds. As you read, it can't be that bad, but hearing the description of it from people who had it sounds like the work said the worst place to be aching.

What's the next place you do not want to be feeling pain going to answer for sex my number six sports injury, murderers, rotator cuff is rotator. I mean I be willing that you know murderers row.

The big story.

Everybody is missing in this women's World Cup on the drive in grade 920 with Josh Graham now underwent Philly surgery earlier, affirming that throwing football is been doing so for a month or so. Now, according to our side getting the most and port headline now that we have a special want to come on today talk about that reporter from the Greensboro news and record grant will pursue new hybrid it's good to have you back. You been traveling all over the place you been in Minnesota driving across the country went to Alaska, but maybe we'll get to that at a later time because we have important things to discuss. But let's get to ridiculous imaging. We had our production manager put together.

I like the picture he slaved away over hours to put this together.

But let's get to the bachelorette minute. Okay what happened last night and let's start with the guys who were gone bailed out it was going head-to-head with Luke PP was talking smack about Luke as the entire house is against this meathead and Lupe will get to in a second, but just seem like look at. Scott got he knew he wasn't going to win so he just took his football and went home brand that's exactly what he did because he knew he wasn't going to win and he made the fatal mistake of talking about other guys with his one-on-one time with Hannah, it's just the fatal mistake doing that now by better or worse man than anyone home back some way. You know that sometimes better to do the job told Jones was lovable for the weeks he was on the show. He was the element of the show who always came in and gave us a laugh. Whether it was a ridiculous letter he was wearing is just self-confidence that was booming at all points. I mean were going to miss this guy was always that guy every single year but was the highlight of John Paul Jones in your mind is really one really great moment and put back back glass of champagne like crap without backing that that is not nearly the highlight mix cake mix tape the magnet loosely his commitment to the chicken nugget no matter what was happening around him locked in their like all you got is one chicken nugget no matter what was happening. The matter what, I appreciate that you know we could have a John Paul Jones on that ACC basketball and football reporter print will pursue new witness in the bachelorette minute. Luke P was described by people on the show was the look this monster this week and things got Patty Garrett and Mike leading the anti-Luke P charge, but that didn't stop Luke be getting a one on one date with Hannah. They went to the cliff.

Started discussing things he hasn't given any details of his personal background because grant. Quite frankly, I don't think this is the first time this man was a meathead, an ultimate job, not anybody we associate as being bright whatsoever. I think this is the first time he's ever processed a motion. I agree with that kind like, I'm with Nick. No matter what he does wrong no matter what the company is dollars along around forever with female little local high baseball High Point University know something about that shortly people want to know one when Mike got you covered Tyler Cameron Overlake for Tyler not to read about you know my I can tell you they are complete they are. When Hannah not talking to and I just complete confusion when anybody on the phone or perhaps running complicated and I love you.

Thereafter, like ridiculous, mildly creepy.

Someone pointed out last night when he was standing behind her on the next victim filers, former ACC quarterback, former Wake Forest quarterback for three games baseboard to stay with over three and again with three interceptions in my mind. Correct me if I'm wrong Brent will pursue new Tyler see Jed, the country music singer from Nashville. There, the two favorites to win this right, like those of the two front runners for me yeah yeah you know you like her like Mike. Mike had a pretty strong date night really good point that he was a little bit older and more emotionally mature. The other guys your plate right now not only her. Mike might make a later grade analysis is always chat with you soon to be new ACC reporter and that is bachelorette minute compelling gripping stuff. 336-777-1600 on Twitter at sports of dryad. Tyler see in a way quarterback Luke P play the season about baseball High Point like Brandt noted there you go to bed you go home you have to strike that balance you want everyone in the house to hate you like everyone hated Lupe and this is advice for life on throwing out here right like you don't want everyone surrounding you like it if you work in an office you don't want everybody in the office to hate you if everyone hates you that could, if any moment of of soup vulnerability of job security that might lead to you being kicked out of your job. If everyone in the office is willing to get your back. That's what happened to Lupe here, Lupe. Like everyone hated him even though I think had I was attracted to him. Didn't matter is a reason why everyone hated him and that ultimately led to only what was originally embodied everybody hate him with a jolly toddler he tackled. Luke asked in rugby when a play was over and he was also interrupting other guys when they had time with Hannah. He also told her that he loved loved her very early on, which is easy to detect is BS and then he started talking about other guys to Hannah saying that they're here for the wrong reasons, which then led to Luke as feeling like he got got left last night so he sounds like a sensitive yet manipulative bug jock guy would wear heavy looks just like Bryce Harper except with the headband and unwilling to process a motion headband was well known to have been not doing sports you farmhouse what he was playing rugby. Okay like a photo shoot with animals. He was wearing a headband and it this might be a flat statement that I might regret it might lead the flames climbing high enough to end my career, but there are many people that where the headband outside of the NBA that I like it. If you're wearing the headband outside of the NBA odds are not a fan of you actually it's it's a specific combo. If the headband tank top combo you like 1/3 Walmart or something general. If you're wearing the headband tank top combo. Odds are I don't like you.

So like better than that of account like if you're playing pickle ball site I set outside of that about you. Okay so outside of the basketball court. If you're wearing a headband tank top. I don't like doing the fashion sense know if you where that you're probably a specific kind of person that wears medium T-shirts/polos and backward hats judgment what you say and I'm proud I just try to be honest on the show three 367-1600 but I will be honest I didn't watch last night's episode live. I had to listen on podcasting watch on DVR because I went to watch book smart last night and I strongly suggest that I can't think of a cooler story in Hollywood right now. Then the store of of this movie it's been billed as super bad 2.0 you remember super bad when my favorites great comedy Jonah Hill.

The first movie he really broke out as a star which led to other big roles for him and always a great actor in Hollywood been that way for about a decade now Michael Sarah to what it essentially the same movie with women as the lead. So instead of Michael Sarah Jonah Hill you have two women and one of those leading women.

Beanie Feldstein, who is the younger sister of you guessed it. Jonah Hill and she was a revelation.

She was so great that soundtracks awesome the music so awesome the. The story is pretty much the story of super bad almost to a T, but it is so wickedly funny. I couldn't suggest it anymore.

I was wondering if the same people that did super bad that whole crew, Seth Rogan, with his name. I imagine they approve of it because again it's Jonah Hill's younger sister Will Ferrell and Adam McKay produced it in action team. So there's a there's a lineage there's a connection between but also the Hill family now I want to see it. So would you recommend completely. It's the best movie I've seen this year. I watch a lot of movies while it's still very early on post-Oscar. Some of these are seen the last three months. I liked it more than I like the lad, and I liked it more than some of the others I watched in March would work which were great movies but Once upon a time in Hollywood to come out in the next month or so you got this racing movie with Matt Damon and Christian Bale excited about that there's been this trailer. I've seen the last three movies I've gone to the last three movies are going to its a dog's purpose it's a sequel to it, goes to see a dog's purpose. If you're one of these people 336-777-1600 you know what they're trying to do the right to see a dog's purpose. You know what you're in for right to be sad you're gonna cry trying to get you with dogs try to do the front of Marley and me you they want to do to get Marley and made out of magic going into that movie you you're aware of that, though like to write why are you seeking that out from people like the be made to cry. I noticed that I thought is true way to cry the same way to go out of their way to be scared and watch a scary movie house to explain the notebook of her people say I need a good cry with that mean good cry of room recommend something on Netflix.

Do you usually the context of I need a good cry as music like I'm listening to Adele someone like you, and eating a carton of ice cream while doing so I usually see usually more often than not it's people asking for movies or TV shows are to make them feel sad or cry or emotional.

They wanted they want that, sadness, injection, and the life which I don't understand what's the best night to go to the movies Mondays seat. Last, I always going Tuesday spy Monday lies there known was there last night. Mondays and Tuesday Monday and Wednesday probably would be the spot. I don't nevertheless I ever went on a Friday or Saturday. Don't let me that's when losers are opening more often than not they charge extra on weekends. Now, some places charge after source like a wiki fee because I got to know you have these movies that only some in your home divine. I love I love empty theaters. It's great like you can actually like actually be on your phone if you wanted to.

Even though I'm not on my phone really doing movies but like if I if I get a text message I need to respond to.

I don't have to worry about being insensitive the people around me back the book smart, the writer of the script, Emily helper and I thought her name was familiar to me someone to go look for the produce from blackish so there's a there's a connection or taste of your really enjoy the movie.

It's a very good movie. You are listening to the sports and the drive is brought to you by our friends at Twin Peaks Restaurant Paintball Blvd. in Winston-Salem place watch the Stanley Cup finals tonight.
