00:00Mike, do you think Clay Thompson is bumming out that he's in Dallas now?
00:09I think he's probably a little bummed out.
00:12I mean, we obviously know he signed up for Luca and Kyrie and seeing them go to the finals
00:18last year and thinking he could be a piece, you know, a weapon from downtown that could
00:24help them.
00:26I think he is a little bummed out, but this was him last night.
00:30Now, this is kind of a funny one.
00:32There's been a lot of trades.
00:33It's hard.
00:34You got new guys coming onto your team.
00:36You don't really know them that well.
00:39Even a guy like Clay, who's been around the league for a long time, he doesn't know everything.
00:43So Max Christie gets traded to the Mavs from the Lakers.
00:48Clay just always assumed that it was Doug Christie's son or he was related to Doug Christie.
00:56That's when Clay finally found out that that's not the case.
01:00I thought that was Doug Christie's son for like years, but I've clarified that with him
01:09and they're not related, but there's no measurables, you know, 6'6 off guard.
01:15So I mean, I've been incredibly impressed with Max.
01:19What a great addition.
01:23I mean, I've had great success with Michigan State guys in my career and he's just another
01:27one.
01:28They come in.
01:29They know how to defend.
01:30They are team players and he has such a bright future in this league.
01:34Listen, I'll give you that.
01:37That is the one thing that, you know, that really, that said a lot right there about
01:42Tom Izzo.
01:44He prepares guys for the NBA like no other.
01:48Everyone that plays at East Lansing knows how to play both ends of the floor and they're
01:52physical and tough and they're not crybabies.
01:56I know that Draymond Green's insane, but he's not a crybaby.
02:01He's just insane and he's got a bunch of rings too.
02:05So they all come to the NBA, to the next level, ready to go.
02:10That was, that was the one thing I got out of that.
02:13It's funny that he's not Doug Christie's kid, but the reality is he's another great
02:17player to play for the Spartans.
02:19And as I said yesterday, Izzo caught night for big 10 wins.
02:23It eventually happens when they die.
02:25Everyone gets their records caught in sports.
02:28It always eventually comes around, but that's, that's a very poignant thing of what, what
02:33happens when you play at Michigan State, you end up in the NBA and you're ready to go from
02:36day one.
02:37You're not, you're not a candy ass.
02:40You are not.
02:41That's for sure.
02:42But I know it's been a while since Tom's won a title, but he does have guys ready to
02:46play when they get there.
