Joining is now on the digital communications smart play hotline is the Blazers first round pick. In know what 1978. I do believe Michael Thompson now the Lakers radio is that right 1978.
1978. When he got to get up I see change shall we are not the most -- old back and what the world changed in the 1978 Mike good.
dumb wanna ask you before we get into the the game last night about John Wooden what's the latest on his health.
Well it holding steady you know he's got a little obviously and a critical condition and but they say he's trying it in there and he's on top old guy. But you know establish a standing but I hopefully hopefully this will be another setback going to be able pulled through but -- vehicle critical condition but still still look at. And took a similar to a never really sat down had long conversations with -- but like other fortunate people about the opportunity to but just a bit volatile and due to interviews with the local radio we actually call my name Turkey you'll be well -- Al ballot pretty impressed by that.
Where does he rank him -- when you talk about LA basketball I mean obviously get the Jerry West of the world the Magic Johnson the cream code be where does wouldn't fit into that culture.
Well it definitely got fired -- CEO and talk about a LEI content basketball down here audited magic Jerry West Kobe Bryant. Those got a guy so you betcha -- right in that debacle with the beat a top spot no question.
Where Scobee. In that end if they go onto win this series does it change.
Kobe couldn't be will always beat the second greatest Laker he had like -- double want to meet. Come because of who magic had to go through to win the championships that it -- eight bottle. And how Cuba and what five local. Any magic had to go through tougher -- Larry -- being doctored Hastings the bat boys at beach wait. Michael -- first championship. So Coke you call -- our greatness never debased that kind of competition to win a title.
What about -- menacing -- forget about the guy who's got the most points ever.
you -- it was definitely an accommodation with a constant the greatest player ever. Great Claudia the most impressive basketball -- ever yeah -- bill -- Election Day when you factor in high school college and go pro careers. I think in the resonate the most impressive while they only -- Cubs -- able to compete look at it like a bit at Bill Russell but nobody else got. Who what doubled to got a -- out and their careers.
Michael content here what seemed like last night LA just kinda out -- the Celtics a mean they pushed him around.
That's the -- got to be let -- of the abyss they'll talk about the only thing. Only respect is you hit them back in the mouth. If you let them come -- building -- push you around. And they got to take your lunch money and they get a bit beat up when you coffee table and audio around you all out. And nobody except that in the all living will and a little like struggled at the Celtics ultimately brought in this series released beat -- here in LA. We expect the summer to come back and break. A little tougher Sunday but it wouldn't matter of about what they do look all of the liquor come without question the show -- game one.
It's funny did in in in. Get caught up in the moment we tend to. Over proclaimed things you know Kobe Bryant wins -- the greatest of all time or -- Rajon Rondo is now the best point guard in the game we tended to kind of -- these conclusions but you look at what. How Gasol has done over the last two years and has he elevated himself to really -- superstar level where where he can be considered one of the best big men in the game.
it is I don't consider him a superstar. Superstar in this game really think about it that may -- only real formal. Tim Duncan now starts of trade. Obviously bigger Dwyane Wade Kobe and LeBron. The superstars in this game right now guys who can put -- on their back and aren't so list please make bracket by themselves. But Thomas doll is definitely an All-Star a halt they work it eventually. But still a good it is great if he can't be yeah -- is done -- being pushed around and self. And not playing as aggressively as he did in game one. Keep what that kind of action every game that kind of effort every game that -- would be a start so. That seemed to get back that game was cooked almost rather not allowed a -- children gave to regain or do you want to in the final. You know that that approve any debate policy backdrop on Sunday.
Do you think Phil Jackson's back next year with LA.
Yeah he's not going anywhere got to those who haven't this is Kevin Garnett can't get any better than -- our coaching. Kobe Bryant in the chapter caliber team the Lakers -- I'd go to to a three year wonder and have a lot -- ship out assault here are young and developing -- Where soldier actually gonna go to try to better situation -- this. And I'll -- when they would -- this year of the Craig you to fire a guy have to win a championship so he'll be back.
How realistic -- a shot to the Clippers have a LeBron.
Yeah I try to let them setting and the law that are gonna happen a broadly you'd end up in Miami looked -- New York state lady is possibly a sign -- come audio player Kobe. -- I knocked out of superstar Madonna and if you wanted to -- serious about chase and winning and getting at Kapalua rating. Then he beat you need to you'll put wade or Kobe.
Doing it's we can't have. Skipped over that then you you mentioned it when they win the title is it a foregone conclusion mean 73% of the time game one winners when the series -- 47 a no. It is is this a foregone conclusion conclusion that LA wins the series.
Well obviously no August got to try to -- Bobby interstate car and compete like bigger game watches soccer blog roll over anybody. But the -- that definitely are out to -- other favorite to win it Arctic and six you know reasonable back on my picks that I like you say wet wet wet. Everywhere he went lot of quality that would they had game.
Michael Thompson name Michael guitar and begin thanks a lot. --
