And I believe he becomes the second Boston Celtic. On this radio program. In the last 365. Days the first leave my favorite NBA player of all time that's right Brian Scalabrine and what's up Glenn.
was grown guys.
All not that we we had your former teammate Brian Scalabrine on the air about a year ago and my AM partner here film of them being -- my Christmas card.

I you know -- and some great guys -- worker you know on his assists. Everything you look forward and good teammate you know he leads by example you know don't say too much. Award before. I'll and I thought it.
He -- to tell like no other no one can get excited on the bench like Scalabrine.
I heard it here you know everybody has. It's cities -- it and he had. On the court you know wait it out.
If they ever look at him and go why. At the end is in the NBA.
You know I've never I've ever in doubt because you know when you play always look at you see what quite so important. You know are he's a coach's dream you know are -- role. It never gonna happen you know questioned his. You know in his ability is forresters. What he can and cannot do you know he's about -- can do it. Play hard and smart.
Who's that -- the guy and you'd be look at not talent wise is go out and obviously if you're in the NBA he can play but just look wise they can they're getting off the bus who's the one guy you look at the NBA -- really. That I'm his client.
boy. And can't quite figure that one out -- can't -- actions. So where did where did the big.
But they've really been mini camp from. Comment you know my coach or. Apocalypse -- little. How to disturb myself warm too much but also big baby you know what --
All right well you know that. I mean -- Simon to -- the biggest you know when Shaq retired in where have all the good nicknames god you have really one of the better. It means in sports you don't hear the doctor -- in the big babies anymore you know there -- aren't.
These girls nude girl are Milledge and -- to embrace it you know. And I don't care what you say about a big baby this big baby that. You know what some people in. That's the reason why uncle saw the people who love me love my game and understand me as a player.
Now you say that you don't care about what do the people -- I think it's I think it's -- see what happened with LeBron here in the finals Allen buried a guy diet. I wanted to ask you as a player. You know we also saw this with how Gasol and he is gone these personal stuff and it affected his play. How often is a guy is playing or even yourself affected by. Personal matters or criticism or mental stuff like that. --
A lot of a lot of -- are effective in ways that you probably would -- imagine you know even little things probably -- or. Still think off the court. You know he made you know and cable basketball special on the level you have to most of would be good stronger. You know -- so you always. Practicing shooting and workable your body -- you're strongly that I also practiced a little. If you are conscious of and tough situation mentally in this -- archer mine saw a lot of articles released record and then when you've got to do it. Like -- Colby Bryant -- You know it in the short. You know Kobe Bryant to a real tough situation preaching it. They're trains -- I cheered and -- as well you know you gotta think -- great company gave -- you know. You know the metric the past.
You kind of went through a little bit of transmission in that in that when you came in the league. Don't mean maybe not quite what you wanted to be in the body wasn't where he wanted to be and then all the sudden a couple of years in.
Something clicked for you the body sort of change in the game started changing and adjust it almost seemed like he became a different player.
Yeah it was just basically. Well -- We want probably you don't know -- until we know are caught up way you know so. What they told me okay you'll be a part of football where Barca topic welcome you cute you know great because you can't put back. A big. I wanted to record and be equally so.
I.
Don't you ever regret not pursuing football because you're like a high school legend. Mean people would be people to this day we got a couple -- position rolling in people saint asking about as high school career what position.
Bar and have played or honors in light that always happens all the time in the article it.
So what about the bombing do you regret the decision not to go after.
No way no way you know until that big with the money you know -- already to -- crunch time player. -- I'm happy to armed -- what I love that's. -- basketball and you know -- you know there's unconditionally -- you know I have no regrets.
We've got to Glen big baby Davis the Boston Celtics with this year on the fan now. Eaves said your play and then in the post season wasn't up to your standards what happened there.
comment and mentally. I wasn't there it's sort of I was Bears sources you know being -- put muscle on but it. Actually I was just focus on. At all about whether they're just good to do what I had to do in the playoffs kind of contrast the way I played. The second half the speed and you know and mentally -- you're not aren't in. I think you're rather. You know -- just a way to be game -- and and this was truly you know just. Just literally like turning it -- so. That's smart are you work -- issues this year is still -- practice mentally you know on indoor things actually just got. Get ready for the upcoming season.
Michael I -- would need you to practice mentally. --
You are part of sports psychologist. I -- you are happened to those are. And also I was -- but you know our our -- you know if you miss a shot. Don't worry about that could be you know he's -- other. You know he was at -- To do so announced on decent. On. Our. Discipline. Like anything inning can't happen you know. Let it pass -- in the clouds passed by your. You don't worry about -- you are on the current -- conscious. I hadn't -- seen in a professional. Injuries sustained away. Who -- to motivate others and also beer great -- you know so. They don't leadership goes and things sort out of release. Order -- ever have the opportunity to. To have my own team and cook.
It's easy talk about Texas does seem like it's a bit but taboo to to bring up based sports psychologist and we all know that the mental side of it is such huge thing in professional sports but.
It's almost like people can viewed as a weakness and people looked down upon if if they talk about it.
Did it it's -- Orangemen. You know it's it's people look at Eric are crazy all you know I think. Yeah security court. Could that mean you believe you're accepting you know mentally that you need help. Our guys some guys are ready for that. You know until they go to situation -- do last year. You know plays so well out of the regular season and always agreed to post seasons now how good happens and you react and how do you -- and -- In mentally you have to Pritchett minus situation so -- I believed in. You know when. You know I came to mind I want you as psychologists. You know probably did -- in you know everything about -- articles -- as most that we happen to -- The postseason you know so it is coming -- deal with situations when it happened again. I know I recognize that pressed at all burdened pause button topic change you know so --
Let's get well I don't think like a guy like LeBron needs a little bit better for the scrutiny of him has been just over the top and unfair.
I you know I think. You know you're -- You're keen the other deal work ethic which -- deal with it that. Everybody should go. You gotta be able to. Handle that type pressure and not break under him and you know it. And in coach Marvin is a place where you know you -- say -- yeah.
to work LeBron and you know. I think to work for anybody else.
The best player in the NBA. Oh my gosh.
A little -- characters earlier. Had to let you do relate. He's a big trailer Kobe but I don't like throw things or -- do. Big. The Bartlett on some things that we do -- first extra questions that might seem like. Amare Stoudemire are good he's -- hard to guard.
And that's true. What what do you like about like -- begins.
So we. Immunity so. I think he keeps this. You know if you elect me off -- really -- on the court like you know he's. He's -- around -- speak Spanish to you. Want our commitment probably -- wherever. They contribute curry earned career learned just the way he's seen so always. -- skin -- These Laker guy box and you know -- in my -- is like. An electoral yeah.
That makes sense I'm glad you're you come unsafe because of on the other end everywhere else prices thinking about Garnett it's funny how when. A year -- gets you -- Toby gets an idea skin but for a lot of us that their important it's Garnett he's just. He's an unlikable France it's when he's on the court yeah -- I.
who Agassi and I receive can either -- bit.
You just he won't shut up and he's doing what time he has to play in the Blazers and he was -- Kyle Orton was barking like a die --
Yeah yeah -- In my four years of trial of this guy he's he's should like. I've been so much crazed -- could never even imagine people would do for a game. Just just -- wow. He sold it and grow it he's so intense -- forward why. I might get out of space and keep my bite you -- like Marty. Conscious of doing but it wall.
