They just slaying it. Huh yeah. Dominant, very dominant, makes it kind of boring. It's the reallyest.
The ratings are trash right right because proof of the ratings, I mean, the reality is okay.
Se is just steamrolling everyone.
But that brings up a thought that I want to get to in a second about SGA. We're gonna talk about balding Baldo Rinaldos and what would you do if you are a balding guy And what if I told you you might be able to reverse it easily? And it's not something super commercial. There is a crazy breaking story about balding men.
Is this like a real story or something you saw on TikTok? Well, dude, this is real, Okay, this is it's real.
Faint okay, plus a dumb hypothetical about being mad about something but yet.
You don't support it. I'll give you an example.
Remember when Twinkies they were were discontinuing Twinkies in the world, was like outrage, No, no, life is over. Meanwhile, you hadn't bought a Twinkie in years. I get it. Twenty years passes and you haven't bought a Twinkie, but you're mad if they discontinue it. So I have a funny story in the news about that. But we'll get you ready for the weekend. That's what we do. Happy to be here holiday weekend, so that being we salute all who served and died for this country as we headed to a Memorial Day weekend, happy to be here. And I said, we'll get you ready for that, and we'll get you ready with something called weekend hobnobbing. Aside from all the great sports, what you need to watch in the world of sports and entertainment, weekend hobnobbing.
We do it every Friday.
Yeah, and a big story that I want to get to today. I'm just to listen to these things so I make sure I get to them. Alex Cora put in a scenario that people love to debate in sports, and that's personal life versus work. And where's the line what's more important? I think it's obvious, but this story where it's like, was it obvious? We'll get to all that coming up, but I mean again, ratings probably stunk. Okay see and Minnesota. The Wolve's even gonna show up for what? What do you think the executives are saying ratings, Yeah, the Timberwolves have to show up.
Make it a series.
When are we gonna put a little, uh, a little respect on the name of the Okay c Thunder?
What is SGA?
What is Shae Gilgas? Alexander gonna get the love he deserves? Right, because I thought about it and.
It's almost it's almost like he should be named MVP of the league or something.
Yeah, right, he should be MVP's I think you're right. I think when you could say his name with full confidence and not think that you're saying it wrong. Gilder, why don't think everybody calls him. It's like when you couldn't say Giannis. Really no, you couldn't say Ante the koopo. Yeah, well you still can't say that, so you call him SGA. I think that's it starts there. But I think it's just a matter of familiarity. Rich I think after the series, after this run, but especially if they win it all, if they win it all and he's MVP. Yeah, like I thought about it. You go back to the draft in twenty eighteen, if.
You go back int ten, if you go back.
In time twenty eighteen, and you realize, let me look at that draft real quick, that was the Luca Covid. If I remember before the world changed, If you go back to the year before I lost my eyesight, you know, it's not that I'm getting older. I suffer from what I call COVID. I you don't have COVID telling you my eyes were never the same, dude. No, it's it's definitely not that you're in your forties.
No no, no, no no.
And uh my hair thinned out a little bit now because I'm getting older COVID hair, bro, So you're going pre COVID twenty eighteen.
Then the olden days. Take me back.
The Suns chose DeAndre Ayton, Marvin Bagley went two. That was the year Luca went three, right, Jaron Jackson, Junior, Trey Young, couple, couple you know stars in this draft, but you go all the way down to crappy once with E eleven.
I mean it was a first rounder.
But again, a guy that has averaged over thirty points a game the last couple of seasons, yet he's never in the conversation. Yeah, but like I know, he's MVP, so he could say, Rich, you're fulling? What are you talking about?
Yes?
Quality wise, but I don't think do you know many kids that have an OKC Alexander Jersey?
Do you see that around town? Well, part of that is the market therein I was.
Gonna say, really just that small market anything, smaller market anything, and of course they become a bigger household name with a bigger reputation the more they win. I think it's simply that small market team, small market reputation. I mean it's a weak yess example, but Otani was always a star. Are you saying how Otani went from like, you know, the guy dominating but he's on the Angels to the Dodgers. Like, if you're tell me SGA was part of some mega trade and ended up on the Knicks, Lakers, Golden State, the Heat, something like that, then all of a sudden that would change completely. Yeah, I mean tie it into your own world. We always talk markets here in radio, and by the way, happy to be on a million of them. Shout out to all the affiliates this morning. Appreciate you. Always great to be here. I think Patrick, I think Dean Patrick really is on close to a million affiliates. But you could be the greatest radio show ever, like weaning the butt in the mornings, but if you're only on in Dayton, Ohio exactly, and that's not to Dayton, Ohio. It's just you could be the greatest there, but not everybody's gonna know and respect you the way they should because it's Dayton, Ohio. It's as simple as that. It's a market thing. I agree with Danny g. That doesn't mean it can't change. But winning, as we always say, winning changes everything. Bill Belichick, right, Everyone's like, man, Bill's bringing a whole lot of.
A lot of noise to U n C. You know how you fix that? Winning? Winning fixes everything. So I say winning, I think of Charlie shape, and I think it's old enough that it's retro again winning.
You still have that on standby, you know, Samp pulled that out of his back pocket winning huge Charlie sheet fans. You were waiting for us to bring that back. I do love the Three Musketeers. Honestly, something's not right. We're not saying that anything's wrong, but it is wrong to not respect them the way that we should because they seem insanely that I know, I.
Know. And Danny g you may roll your eyes because you're like, dude, he's the m v P.
He's you know, looks say he's gonna roll to the NBA finals. But but it's not a household name. Yeah, I feel like your mom doesn't know his name unless the mom test the mom test, you know.
But you're right.
You brought up young people, young people probably very yeah, wear point, but it's the uh, it's the Aunt Sharon at Easter, Christmas or a holiday event.
Like, dude, leave my Aunt Sharon as they might be listening and rich.
You may need to slow down that comment just a little bit until I see, OKAYC get a big lead and keep it in Minnesota, then I'll agree with that because think back, ask a Laker if it's easy to be in Minnesota.
Listen, Minnesota.
I think the t Wolves, Anthony Edwards, that whole squad is fun to watch. I enjoy them. Like I said, this matchup isn't necessarily what the executives wanted.
Ratings gold Baby Gold.
Of course that they would have wished upon a star for somehow Golden State or the Lakers or staff or.
They're getting their ratings in the Eastern Conference of.
Course big time, but a big time difference view of star power and excitement and competition and market size and market size. Yeah, it comes back to that New York the Knicks, the Garden. I'm not trying to be the ratings guy like boring because I mean his part. I don't want to be that guy.
I really don't. But we said it a little while back.
If it's the Pacers, Okay, see, you could argue that it could be the lowest ratings of the twenty first century.
Well, here's the thing, rich is it?
As far as ratings Baby ratings, executives clearly would appreciate the Knicks stepping up and taking it further. Because it's great for basketball and it's high profile and big market. But who would be the greater ratings rival in the finals? I would have assumed the Timberwolves. You know, I don't stand corrected, but I just found the top selling jerseys in the NBA, and would you assume that SGA is in the top ten. Young kids are front runners and they're like superstars, and everybody's a fan of greatness. Hey, your boy here, Steve Cavino from Union, New Jersey. I had a Michael Jordan jersey. I mean I also had like a Jalen Rose jersey because I thought the Nuggets jersey was kind of cool.
Back then.
I had a bunch of random jerseys, but of course I had a Jordan jersey because greatness is fun to root for. I'm not surprised we're talking the MVP. Young kids who were in the market of buying a New jersey absolutely would probably go to that first. Oh, you're a Yankees fan. I'm surprised you're not a Cowboys and Lakers fan too. Yeah, but hold on, we lived in an era where things started to change. You became a fan of greatness. I didn't root for the Raiders. I didn't root for the Royals, but I was a fan of Bo Jackson, who wasn't what nineties kid didn't like Michael Jordan or Bo Jackson or Ken Griffy Junior, right, so he would be in that category for a young person today, you're hanging up posters in their room.
Or whatever they do. What do they do?
A little light up my kids? No, it's not the same. Even though my daughter has posters. You can still have a fatheads or is that the two thousand and some like cool lights, some sort of galaxy on their ceiling like my kid held. My kid has some little ball that you let it out that it makes it. It looks like the milky ways on their sailings. So they probably have some SGA hologram up there, you know, floating around their room, some sort of fat head because he is the MVP. So it's just a It does doesn't past the Aunt Sharon test, but it passes the give me a good little Kidney Jackson test. With an ex Jackson Jackson, it passes the Kyler test. Yeah you know Jackson. So yeah, so you like SGA of carse I know at an SGA wall hologram.
With with that in mind with SGA and after this MVP season maybe his stardom will pick up. On the other side of things, Tyree Salliburton, is he a superstar?
Well, I mean what to find the superstar?
Is that?
The question didn't get to that too. You know that's a great transition. Let me ask you before we do that, though, Well, you know what superstar moments? What are the what do you think the top ten selling jerseys are? Now, this is based on the second half of the NBA season.
Luca's in there, Lucas number one.
I remember this is the second half, so think people buying that Luca Lakers jersey. Jason there, he's number four. I imagine Lebron's still in there. Number three, Curry is still in there, number two.
You GC. You guys just nailed the top four. Okay, New York so Brunson number five.
Yeah, Hey, you guys are like Steve Harvey would buy his mustache would be uh, you know, shimmering right now with your family feud style excellence.
Speaking of which, Dan Patrick's celebrity family feud. How cool is that?
We gotta get on that, all right, you guys name the top five. It's called celebrity, fair Berger family.
I'm thinking young stars. Jahn Morant, John Morant's number eight, So here you go, you're rolling keep on the young star.
The oh I didn't play the second half of the season, but Wemby.
Number six, nice, my clean, sweetest. Then there's one more at number seven, and I'll give you this. SGA is number nine and it's someone he's playing right now, Ah Edwards. Edwards is number seven, baby Jordan, and then jok rounds out the top ten and then Giannis, LaMelo Ball KD, Devin Booker and Jalen Brown.
But he's top ten selling Jersey.
So Cam you know your theory of like yo kids, No, it's just it might not pass the Aunt Janet at Christmas test like man the OKC.
With uh, who's that guy again?
And Sharon and Janet that's uh, Shay Gilg's Alexander. Oh yeah, just saying for a guy that's putting up these numbers, I think he should be more of a household name.
And when people talk about the young stars of the.
League, who else is in their twenties doing what he was doing a lot of the other guys we speak of on that list are thirty ish or older, the veterans, right.
Well, there is a feeling.
I saw Charles Barkley being interviewed by one of our pals, Adam Glynn, who does celebrity interviews like TMZ style interviews, and he's like, how do you feel about the thunders chances and what do you think about SGA sort of coming out of nowhere? That's the feeling like he sort of came out of nowhere. But that's not the truth. Yeah, but it feels that way, right, not the truth. Plus, it takes a minute to acclimate to the NBA, so let's keep that. I's still a young guy, but it's been averaging thirty plus, which seems like foreverybody. But it seems like exactly, so it's not out of nowhere. It just feels that way. And now they're on a bigger stage and all those things change a reputation. That's when the kids tell the older folks like, see, we told you, because now when it's on a big stage like this, doesn't matter what market they're playing for, and that's how you create that reputation and that's what makes you a superstar. And we can actually transition into that. But before we move past the timberwolves, and I'm sure we're gonna bring them up again. Timberwolves just looking weak compared to the thunder. They're not wolves, Rich, But this is a viral story today.
I'll see this.
I'll tell you what I did see this though, all my way to work this morning. We live out here in Los Angeles. I'm never up at this early. You know, that four or five am hour here on the West coast, you know, getting ready to come here.
Yeah, it's not our normal schedule.
Normally we're on two to four on the west, five to seven pm on the east. What were those wolves in Game of Thrones? I swear I saw a dire wolf on my street.
I think you're lying.
I mean it could you might argue, Rich was probably a little coyote. But in my mind this morning, as I pulled out of my driveway, I'm like, this is a dire wolf.
I want you to look this up.
Immediately. Immediately. I immediately texted my wife. I'm like, don't let our dog outside like that.
I just saw a shadow.
In my mind, in my four thirty in the morning mind this morning, I was like, I think John Snow is walking a dire wolf.
On my street. Dude.
They are everywhere in Los Angeles. I'm sure you guys have seen the stories. You sell that story with Tommy Lee's dog, Right, some coyote hopped over like a ten foot fence, grabbed the dog, the dog and yeah, hungry man, Yo, these things are wild right. So literally, there's a story today, or I saw it today. I think it was a timber wolf, not a wolf, not a timber wolf, but five coyotes.
Five coyotes I think equal one wolf, but five coyota. You can ask me one man or five coyotes.
No, no, No, five coyotes versus a reeping five coyotes are a silver back girl. And I think this story is a random stray black labrador fights off and fends off five coyotes.
Now, I don't know.
Like, of course, maybe you're thinking, of course a lab could fight off five coyotes. To me, I was like, Yo, that's impressive. This five pack of coyotes attack and one black lab fights him off.
That's viral today.
Protecting the I thought it was protecting the house and the kids, but I think it was a stray and it was all caught on film and it went viral.
This morning on my way in I saw on.
Yeah, it says wildlife cam shows stray dog fighting.
On straight The stray got the best of him when he drew a tunnel on a brick wall. Really tricked the coyotes. Nice, yes, yes, so look out for that. It's it's a local LA story though.
From my understanding. Raa, California.
Yeah, so I saw it on the news today, but again, not wolves but coyotes. Props to that black lab pretty sweet. So speaking of s g A and the feeling, it's there's no truth behind it is the feeling of him not getting the respect he deserves. And again, would we say winning and winning on a big stage always changes that.
What do you have? Thirty eight points? Last night they have dominating. There was a.
Question post, well what makes you a superstar? Because Stephen A. Smith says something in regards to Halliburton, who had a huge moment. Harry's Halliburton. You know it's that right, No, Stephen A. The other Stephen you next president.
The fact of the matter is this, you mean President Smith, Danny Rock Just.
Because you come up and clutch moments doesn't make you a superstar.
Now this Stephen and Stephen A. Covino Stephen Anthony Cavino.
The second says, well, if coming up and clutch moments doesn't make you a superstar, then what does That's like someone saying just because she has a perfect just because she has a perfect ass in great moves, does it make her hot.
You're like, well, I think it's part of what makes you a.
Superstar, but I think there is something else that's a big light actually make you a superstar. So we posed this question when we talk Sga and Halliburton, all these young stars that are playing big in these big moments, what are the moments or maybe the intangibles that actually make you a superstar?
Like, what's the key ingredient?
Rich?
I like that key ingredients, the chateacdotistics, what's the main ingredient? Don't you love them? What's the main ingredient? Great oldies, what's the key ingredient that makes you a superstar?
Then?
If it's not coming in the clutch, coming through in the clutch, then what is it? Your thoughts what makes up a superstar in the world of sports. We'll get to that, plus a breakthrough in the world of hair loss and a dumb hypothetical that has to do with the sports world. We'll get to that family versus worked as an Alex Coors story. We're gonna get to We're getting away prizes, a bunch coming up this morning.

Spots on the videos at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. Check out Fox Sports Radios YouTube channel. We're live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. Now we talked about Shaye Guilgeous Alexander See Now you had me really pausing.
Yeah, because I heard Rich said Guilgias of a few guys.
I said, I said, I've heard so many different people, much like how people say when banyama and when bam Yama, Like people.
Mess that up and then it gets in your head.
Yeah, I feel like I've heard people put little different pronunciations on SGA, So then you start second guessing yourself.
You know where. That happens a lot too, and people roll with it. They stop caring.
I don't know if it's an old guy thing, like something gets in your head and you just roll with it, like I don't care. The fight game, especially with is it bibil or Bible or bevil. Yeah, you know, I think you have seen it. You stop caring. They have these crazy Yeah, you just roll with whatever. But we were talking about SGA and his star power and how it feels like it's come out of nowhere, but we're seven seasons in now right and V playing big. We were talking about the things that matter now in the big stage. So that turns into well, then what makes you a superstar? Because Stephen A. Smith went on records saying that Halliburton was not a superstar. Just because you come up in a clutch moment doesn't make you a superstar.
That's the quote.
Because you come up in clutch moments, that doesn't make you a super That's ridiculous. Yeah, but that's how you start to become a superstar. Right, And we saw a lasting image of the choke sign the moment, the doink, the most ridiculous doink that ever was, aside from your favorite wrestler, rich or the double doink that eliminated the manishment of the playoffs a couple of years ago. Or I have a question off the off the top of the dome? How many dinks was it that Kawhi had? Was it three or four before it went in? It was three and a half. I think it was a question. It's like how many claps are there in that Friends song? Do I think it's four?
Yeah? I think it's four? Is it four? Or five? How many?
Near?
Near?
How many?
I think Kawhi because we kept saying yesterday on a regular show five to seven on East Covino and Rich that, yeah, Kawhi triple doink?
Was it labeled a triple doink? I think he may have hit four times? Yeah?
But I went back to the archives and looked up an old article about the shot and it caught It said four bounces off the rim.
Yeah, wow, that still has to be number one.
Then it was a buzzer beater in a game seven, but it was it was a shot that had like little doinks like the doink donk like that see and Team Wolf that the best doint You're right, might have been in teen Wolf. Team Wolf was a triple bunk. But I really do think the fact that that ball hit the back of the rim and bounced up what felt like ten feet off your TV screen. It was eight plus feet yeah, Dan Byer pointed out, and went out of your TV screen. It felt like forever coming down and then gently hit the bottom of the net like what was that? Teen Wolf? So and then Alan Burton there with the premature celebration of choking ah. But then they end up winning anyway, which saves the premature celebration in my opinion. And I think these moments, these clutch moments, begin to build the legend. So we asked you Fox Sports Radio Nation Dan Patrick Nation to chime in at eight seven seven ninety nine one Fox eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. If stephen A says, because you come up and clutch moments doesn't make you a superstar, then what does that's part of it?
What's the key ingredient? It's to me, it's it's one of the main ingredients.
Like I said, me FO, not to sound the crass, but if it's like, yeah, dude, she's got a perfect ass.
Great moves.
I'm not sure if your top though. It's like, dude, those are big elements. Those are part of it. Those are big part. I mean, I you know what the intangible would be there, Like sex appeal. Yeah, man, she's got a sweet heini You don't, man, well, bam, no sex appeal. There's a few of those around. You know what I'm talking about?
Now?
When I think of clutch, who are the most clutch people? Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Joe Montana, Derek Jeter, like Poppy, Big Poppy. The most clutch people are you guessed it? For the most part. Stars. Now, I'll give you one or two that I think are very clutch people. But you might say, oh, they're stephen A's point that they're not.
You don't have to.
Come in clutch to be a superstar. Aaron Judge hasn't really been a clutch guy. He's still a superstar. But I'm gonna give you two names. It's just part of it. I'm gonna give you two baseball names, and you tell me if you think these guys are superstars. He's there clutch, My dude, Francisco Lindor is he a superstar? He's clutches could be, but is he a superstar?
Well that poses another question. Mmm, See, you don't have to.
Win either to be a superstar like Reggie Miller's clutch Yeah, okay, well in every one, if you won and you were clutch bigot rob or oh yeah, superstar he had moments. I had another one, Danny of a Dodger. You're a big Dodgers guy like Keith g Hernandez. That guy's clutches could be. But is he a superstar?
No, he's not.
He's just a clutch player. So what exactly makes you superstar? Star in his own city? But you're right outside of that.
No.
I thought about it, and that's why the SGA the previous discuss and sort of ties in right.
It's like, well, why is he not a household name?
Well, he's MVP now and he's dominating in the playoffs and he might dominate in the finals. I think it's sustainability and consistency. That's a major part of it. It's like, because people could be a flash in a pan and have a insanity sort of moment and could be great in clutch moments like ke k Hernandez, but they don't sustain that for a long period of time. When you've been playing big for seven years and now you're MVP and you're in the playoffs and you're dominating, and you're putting up thirty eight points and you could potentially win it all.
Yeah, sga, superstar.
They're heading into that superstar world where your aunt Sharon knows his name and by the way, shout out to my aunt Sharon.
Right.
So, I think one of those intangibles that makes you a superstar, or one of those ingredients is consistency or sustainability, Like how long have you been doing it? Yeah, you can't just be a guy who had a good year, like yeah, he had one good year. It doesn't make you a superstar. I have a question for you, guys. I'm gonna give you two NBA players. I want you to tell me are they superstars? Because I think these two guys are clutch. Now are you saying super or super because I believe there's a difference superstar two guys that you could argue superstar or not, and they have the same initials. I'll give you the initials if you can figure the two guys. I'm thinking of JB NBA players. Oh oh, you're talking about Jack Black.
Love a chicken Jack Jack Black, superstar, superstar. So JB, Jimmy Jonly, Boney.
Only, Boneless Stewart, j Only, B Only JB, Jimmy Jimmy Butler is not a superstar.
Here's why. Is he clutch? Very clutch? He's play off Jimmy. I love Jimmy Butler. He's on.
He's on like the precipice of superstardom. I'll give you an example. Want to hear my analogy? Yes, sir, I just thought of this. When you think of nineties rock, right, like think of the core four or five. You got bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jams, Sound Garden, Alison Shane's STP Yeah, but then you got bands like Live Right, Smashing Pumpkins. Smashing Pumpkins, who are there? They're great, perfect Smashing Pumpkins.
Great band. But are they top four or five of that era?
No? Maybe arguably, but they're right there. Jimmy Butler's right there. He's the Smashing Pumpkins of the NBA.
He's great. He's right there, or as Dan Patrick would say, he's in the hall of very good.
Right, let me give you another one that I think he's a great player, but his reputation to me has been built on the last two seasons of WOW Playoffs. This guy comes out and that's another JB. Jalen Brunson Ooh, hold on, I wasn't done with Butler. I think Butler has superstar qualities though superstar personality. I think his personality is that in the way he carries himself, he's.
That of a superstar.
But what makes a superstar is the question if coming in clutch doesn't make you a superstar. The more and more I think about it, it doesn't. It's just a part of what makes you a superstar. It doesn't make you a superstar. Think of all the random players that came in clutch. It's it's usually like an ancillary.
Part of the team, like David Freeze, right, yeah, someone like that.
There'll be a guy that steps up, some sort of utility dude who came in big with a big hit, and you're like, man, that was insane.
Can't believe that dude came through with that shot. I'll give you a guy.
So again, it's it's it's it's a bunch of things that make you the superstar. But what's what's the key ingredients? Well, I'll give you a guy that we interviewed at the super Bowl, a guy that I respect. He's very polarizing, like Kurk Chilling. That guy came up big when it mattered. Okay, now he's the opposite of Jimmy Butler. He has the credentials, but he didn't have like a superstar sort of personality. Person I thought he was too great but something like but his numbers say it all. So nanny nanny, poof, poof. He's a superstar where you want it to be or not. But back to Brunson, I think what makes Brunson superstar? What really slow defies the deal as him continuing to win, but you know, playing for the Knicks and continuing to be consistent and even in a loss, putting up forty something points and in the bounce back tonight really again proves.
Where he's at.
Let's go to you guys, uh and for the great Dan Patrick, Kevino Ritch, Let's say it's up to Kenny in La what's up?
Kenny Fellows?
Something going up?
And for many many years I got that superstar is based solely what you did on the corner on the field. I think seven point was really based upon charisma or personality. And I'm going to ask you if you know, off the top of your head who led the NBA in scoring the nineteen eighties because his game played little different position played forward reminds me of SGAs.
Oh leading scorer of the decade known as the eighties. So you would think Jordan because he put up a bunch of thirty years. Who's the answer. Who's your answer? Go ahead, Alex, Alex Alex English.
Yeah, wow, wow, yeah, yeah yeah, former Denver nugget. Now I think of Jordan dominating the nineties eighties. That was a good one.
But again the half the decade quote is just because you show up in clutch moments doesn't make you a superstar, as Stephen A. Smith on Tyrese Halliburton on whether or not he's a superstar because he had a huge moment, but also that lasting moment is gonna live on for years to come. We're gonna look back and remember, like, oh yeah, that eight foot doink that went in that won that game. Yeah, that was a superstar. Memorable moment That helps helps with the legacy with the legend, So we'll get to the rest of your phone calls. Please hang tight at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.

Really the biggest goon I know. I introduce Goonies to my kids.
I have an eight year old daughter and a five year old son, and I'm like, I think it's time, and they really enjoyed it.
I wasn't slock scares the hell out of them.
I was. I wasn't the forty year old guy that's like, kids, let me take you back to my childhood. They actually seem to enjoy the adventure of Goonies. I will say there was one part where they're like, Dad, why are they doing that? I'm like, God, turn away when they break the statue and they put the junk back on upside down and mouth is uh, you know the statue.
Of course, that's that's an awkward part. It's funny.
Explain to the kids and they'll get it. I'm pretty sure the dad the statue is pete pee full off.
Yeah, turn away.
The nanny housekeeper woman in that scene where Mouth is speaking Spanish to her.
It's the same woman that kills Selena in the movie, is she not? I think it is.
I think it's the same lady so Rich wearing his Gooney's T shirt if you watch us on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. But right now we're gonna wrap it with your phone calls. What makes you a superstar? I think stephen A with that statement is just making the point that you could be a Robert or you could be you know, even a Kirk Gibson, a Kik Hernandez where you can come and clutch and you be a star. But are you a superstar? I mean, listen, if Halliburton does another it's a superstar. You know, if he does another star quality thing this series, then then you gotta start, you know, thinking maybe Haliburton is a superstar. But we'll see tonight. The garden should be rocking and I see the headline. Can the Knicks recover? Like they're not down three to one? It's not three oh or two one even? Yeah, But that was, as I've been calling it all week, that was a Mola Ram moment. That was a they got their hearts ripped out Goli Molli.
It really was was there.
And Mola Aram the Pacers. Halliburton ripped their hearts out and stopped them at the garden. Their hearts were up in flames. I mean, how did the Knicks recover so simple? It wasn't just a loss. It was a heartbreaking, heart ripping loss.
Win tonight.
It's one one and it's a best of five, and it's not the way you planned it. But if you get out of tonight tied one one, I think the Knicks could say, all right, now it's the best of five, but we don't have home court anymore in the best of five. Indian let me solidify my answer here. Yeah, I don't think stephen A is wrong.
I think what.
Halliburton did was a superstar moment. Superstar moments don't necessarily make you a superstar. So yeah, being clutch, that's a quality. That's an ingredient. Is it the main ingredient? We've seen a lot of randos in clutch moments step up and play big. They had big superstar moments, They're not superstar. Let me give you though, I think he's technically sort of right. I think you got to add sustainability to it, meaning you have to consistently do those things for a certain amount of years, which is why SGA is in superstar territory. Now this is seventh year playing Big MVP, big stage. So these are the things that make you a superstar. Sustainability, consistency, things like that. In tangibles, I think sometimes what could take you from like you're saying, it could take you from like.
Yo, you're you're a very good player.
Also market matters, but your clutch in these big moments, I think sometimes it could work against you, meaning like if you're a really good player that doesn't do anything in the clutch, I think it keeps you in that yeah, like never one, Yeah, but not only Nember one. But like I'll give you a great example of Justin Herbert in the NFL. Justin Herbert is always that guy that people talk about with all the potential in the world, and you keep waiting waiting for him to break out, but the guys yet to do anything in the postseason. So now if Justin Herbert, imagine if he was a young quarterback that you know, put up the numbers and everyone believed in him, and he's had a couple big playoff performances like a Jayden Daniels. You'd be thinking a little different of Herbert because right now, justin Herbert, we're being really technical, right and we're really overthinking it because Steven A.
Smith is a.
Little booty here about his nicks. Yeah, that's really what it comes down to you. Let's make that clear. So like as Josh Allen is superstar, I'd say, yes, well, well we shall see if he wins the Big One. Though you could be a superstar, you're right without one in the big what makes you a superstars? The question hit us at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. We're going to talk about hair loss and sports, a really interesting story, plus we'll give away some prizes. Last one Standing coming up, a lot of fun Covino on Rich and for Dan Patrick, it's Friday.
