00:03 I used to obviously go to those games.
00:07 I saw Kobe and Shaq win three of them.
00:12 And I saw Jordan and Pippen win three of them.
00:15 I worked at Sports Channel Chicago.
00:18 So I was in both markets, right?
00:21 At the time of their, some of their glory.
00:25 And I used to go to games at the Forum and
00:28 then I went to games at Staples, which is now the Crypt.
00:32 But there is nothing like going to Laker games.
00:38 Back in the day at the Forum in Englewood, it was crazy.
00:41 And I gotta tell you, who do you think was bigger?
00:46 And this is another question, is Red Auerbach or Dr.
00:49 Buss?
00:50 Cuz Dr. Buss partied, and Dr.
00:52 Buss was covered with playmates and smoking hot chicks.
00:57 And bling, cigarettes, booze,
01:02 women, parties, disco, all of it.
01:08 And Red Auerbach never had any of that going.
01:11 It was all business.
01:13 If he caught his players in some Studio 54, he would have freaked.
01:17 But in LA, Buss was like, let's go to the Playboy Mansion and party.
01:21 >> Hey, listen, man, shout out to Jerry, rest in peace, Jerry Buss.
01:26 I mean, that'd be my kind of guy.
01:29 Pharrell, I would have paid money, thousands,
01:34 just to be a flower on the wall of that club, the Forum Club, underneath the LA Forum.
01:40 That's all I wanna be.
01:42 I just wanna sit there and just beat R&B, just hang around.
01:45 I thought Red Auerbach, I mean, he probably loved his $5 cigars.
01:51 >> He loved himself.
01:53 >> He loved himself to him.
01:55 But Jerry Buss, he loved himself to women.
01:57 So to me, it has to be about popularity, Jerry Buss.
02:02 You ask me about style of play, the Lakers.
02:04 You tell me about LA versus Boston, it's LA.
02:08 I will say this, folks, I'm a New York guy.
02:12 I hate everything about Boston, except for the clam chowder.
02:16 But I think I get that pretty much anywhere in New England, not just in Boston.
02:20 >> So listen, I've gone up there, I've had a lot of fun.
02:23 I've gone to Yankees Red Sox, I've been to the Celtic Games,
02:28 I've been to the Bruin Games, I've called games at the Boston Garden.
02:33 I've done it all in Boston.
02:35 I've gone to a wedding at Fenway Park.
02:38 I had Fenway dogs at Fenway Park at a wedding.
02:42 A lawyer of my buddy, his daughter got married at Fenway Park, believe it or not.
02:48 And I was at a wedding at Fenway Park, it was unbelievable.
02:51 And it was like prison to me, cuz I hate all these teens.
