00:00NBC
00:02A lot of stars for you on Sunday Night Football
00:16We welcome you to the premiere telecast of the NBA on NBC
00:22Hi everybody, I'm Mark Albert along with Mike Fratello
00:26It's the Spurs and the 76ers
00:30This Philadelphia team has got a lot of toughness and courage
00:34Iverson
00:35Oh, it's over to Rob Lowe
00:38This is a guy who thrives on the competition
00:42Hi again everybody, with Doug Collins, I'm Bob Costas
00:45When you talk about David Robinson and Duncan, they can do it all
00:48Duncan blocks it into the hands of Robinson
00:51Into Sean Elliott
00:52He fires the three
00:54And has it!
00:56What a shot!
00:58Here's Jim Gray
01:00He just told his team that he wants them to play this game like they were growing up on the
01:04playground
01:04I want you to remember how you used to dream that you were Michael Jordan
01:08Oh! A spectacular move by Michael Jordan!
01:13Or Larry Bird
01:14Let's go off
01:15Two to five
01:16Because today, you are them
01:19All the kids who are watching today will be emulating and pretending that they are you tomorrow
01:24Now go out and be worthy of that honor
01:26The opening tip is just a few minutes away
01:47This is the NBA on NBC
01:49Tonight, the San Antonio Spurs visit the Philadelphia 76ers
01:54It's Coast to Coast Tuesday, it's Coast to Coast Tuesday, presented by Kia
01:59A cold, rainy night in the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia
02:04The city where American democracy was born 250 years ago
02:08And hence, the name of the city's NBA team, the 76ers
02:12Who tonight, play host to the San Antonio Spurs
02:15It's game one of NBC's Coast to Coast Tuesday, which tonight is also Throwback Tuesday
02:21As we welcome you to Xfinity Mobile Arena
02:27Hi everybody, I'm Bob Costas with Coach Doug Collins
02:31Four-time All-Star with the 76ers
02:33Former NBA Coach of the Year
02:35The guy that Marv dubbed the Czar of the Telestrator, Mike Fratello
02:39So, it's Throwback Tuesday
02:41We put the old band back together
02:44We got the band back together at least for one night
02:46Think of it as sort of like Crosby, Stills, and Nash
02:50But not young
02:52When the Spurs come to town, the focus is always on Wemby
02:56You take it, Xar
02:57Well, it's so great to be back on NBC
02:59Great to be with you guys
03:00But there's something going on
03:02I thought generational players only come along every so often
03:05But what's going on in San Antonio?
03:07You've got David Robinson
03:09You have Tim Duncan
03:10Then five championship trophies
03:12And now Victor Wembynian
03:14Clearly, one of the leaders for the MVP trophy coming up
03:18Plays both ends of the floor
03:19Leads the league in blocked shots
03:21Rebounds at over 11 per game
03:23At the offensive end
03:24Because he can go out behind the three-point line
03:27It opens up driving lanes for his teammates
03:30Clearly, one of the class acts in the NBA
03:33He's going to be around for a long time
03:35But who wants to talk about big men?
03:37We have great guards in this game
03:38Well, Mike and Bob
03:41I, too, have to say what a great thrill it is for me to be here tonight
03:45This is where I started my career
03:46I played here
03:47I broadcast
03:48I coached
03:49I've spent a lot of time
03:50I have family here
03:52So this place is very important to me
03:54But I'm going to talk about Tyrese Maxey
03:56I've got to come clean
03:57He's my favorite player in the NBA to watch
03:59Speed upon speed
04:01He can shoot the ball deep
04:03He attacks a bucket
04:04Now, how about this?
04:05The last two games against the Spurs
04:07He's only had 84 points
04:09Bob, one of them he got 52
04:11And he's a man after your heart
04:13He took 41 shots in that game
04:15So we might see 50 tonight
04:17And he's got a great partner in his rookie
04:20V.J. Edgecombe
04:21So this is going to be fun
04:23Hey, when you make most of them
04:24You can put it up there 41 times
04:26Jim Gray is roaming the sidelines for us tonight
04:29A few moments ago
04:30He spoke with one of the few players playing tonight
04:33Who actually remembers the NBA on NBC in the 90s
04:37Kyle Lowry
04:39Kyle, how would you assess
04:40The guys that you were mentoring in the backcourt?
04:44They're getting better
04:45You know, it's a long season
04:46V.J. is getting better
04:48Tyrese is, you know, playing at a super, super all-star
04:50All-NBA level
04:52Yeah, I think they'll just continue to learn and get better
04:54I think every single game we play
04:55They're figuring it out
04:57And they're such a dynamic backcourt
04:58That they're going to be really good for a long time to come
05:01And you grew up
05:03Watching the NBA on NBC
05:04What are some of your fondest memories?
05:06Of course, Michael Jordan, right?
05:08You know, Penny Hardaway, Shaquille O'Neal
05:09And having a great crew commentating the games like you guys
05:12So it was a fantastic night for a guy like myself
05:14So I'm looking forward to replaying and watching this game
05:17And I'm sure you're going to remember this
05:19It was the czar of the Telestrator
05:20Jerry West and Mike Fertella
05:22Who drafted you back in 2006
05:24The 24th pick in the first round
05:26So the czar's back over there
05:28Talking about what a great pick he made
05:30Yeah, it was all him
05:31He got me here
05:32He got me to this moment
05:33But he helped me out
05:34He helped me out so tremendously
05:36And, you know, rest in peace, Jerry West
05:39Jim and Kyle, thanks
05:41Back to Xfinity Mobile Arena
05:43After this break
05:45It's Coast to Coast Tuesday
05:46And it's Throwback Tuesday
05:48It's the NBA on NBC
06:06All right, ladies and gentlemen
06:08It's now time to meet tonight's participants
06:10Up first
06:11The San Antonio Spurs
06:13Head coach
06:14Is Mitch Johnson
06:16Now tonight's starters
06:17At 7-4 from France
06:19Number 1, Victor Wemenyama
06:236-7 from St. John's
06:24Number 30, Julian Champagny
06:276-5 from Florida State
06:29Number 24, Devin Vassell
06:326-6 from UConn
06:33Number 5, Stephon Castle
06:36And it's 6-3 from Kentucky
06:37Number 4, De'Aaron Fox
06:46Let's take a look at tonight's
06:48DraftKings King of the Court Tracker
06:50DraftKings is your home for King of the Court
06:53To get in on the action
06:55Download the app
06:56And use promo code DUNK
06:57When you sign up
07:04Here's a look at the Kia starting lineups
07:06When you look at Philadelphia, Doug
07:08You've got three guys missing
07:10Kyle Oubre
07:11Who normally would start in the backcourt
07:13Replaced tonight by Quentin Grimes
07:15He's out with an illness of some kind
07:17And shouldn't be out very long
07:19But yet again, they were with
07:21They are without Joel Embiid
07:23And Paul George is still serving
07:25A 25-game suspension
07:26For violating the league's drug policy
07:32Mitch Johnson
07:34Succeeding Greg Popovich, his mentor
07:37In his second season as San Antonio's head coach
07:40And Nick Nurse
07:41Who took the Raptors to the championship in 2019
07:43And his first year as their head coach
07:45Now in his third year
07:47In Philadelphia as the head coach
07:49Having succeeded Doc Rivers
07:50You know, Bob, when you lose your starters
07:53And you have to start playing bench players
07:56In the starting lineup
07:57And everybody moves up a space off that bench
08:01Philadelphia's bench was not that strong to start with
08:03So this could be a game where
08:05Their bench becomes a huge factor
08:07Can they hold the fort a little bit
08:09When they have to substitute?
08:11Andre Drummond is 6'11
08:13Dwarfed by Wemby
08:14On the jump ball
08:15But nonetheless the ball goes
08:17To the 76ers
08:23Edgecombe
08:23Misses the game's first shot
08:25Gets his own rebound
08:27And here's Maxing
08:32Down low, Drummond
08:34Trying to force it up
08:35Trying to force it up
08:35Wemby got a piece of it
08:36Bad decision there
08:39San Antonio's first possession
08:44Into the lane
08:45Champagne who lays it in
08:47I think that showed you something right there
08:49They're staying up against Wemby
08:50The defensive player
08:51Playing with the young
08:53Never helped on the guy
08:54Coming off the screen
08:55He has a wide open layup
09:02Maxie
09:03To the corner
09:04For the three
09:05That is off
09:07Drummond gathers in the rebound
09:08He's got a concern
09:10Mitch Johnson right now
09:11To rebound
09:13Drummond
09:13Misses again
09:17D'Aaron Fox
09:18Into the lane
09:20Surrounded
09:21Gets it outside
09:22Of a cell
09:23Who misses from three
09:25And back come the Sixers
09:33Maxing
09:35What a great matchup
09:36That is
09:37Castle with Maxie
09:38Castle
09:38One of the best defensive guards
09:40In the NBA
09:40He's got size
09:42He's got strength
09:43He's got quickness
09:44And he's a bulldog
09:45He loves these matchups
09:46One of the things
09:48They say about Castle
09:49He came knowing
09:50How to practice
09:51And that's what they love about him
09:53You just have to look at his background
09:54Who he played for
09:55In high school and college
09:56That'll tell you why
09:57He's so good
09:59Sixers have missed
09:59Their first five shots
10:01Wemby with the rebound
10:07And a foul on Drummond
10:09Bob it's interesting
10:10I've spent 50 plus years
10:12Of my life in the NBA
10:13And this is the first time
10:15I've seen some of these guys
10:16Play in person
10:17But Wimby
10:18He came over
10:19In our open
10:20And he said
10:21Say hello
10:22And I looked up
10:23And he is
10:25Gigantic
10:29In both talent and size
10:31Here he is
10:32And he's fouled
10:33As he puts up the shot
10:34And we heard
10:35Talking to
10:37Mitch before the game
10:39The coach of the San Antonio Spurs
10:41That the way teams
10:42Are going to play them
10:43The blueprint is
10:44Be physical with San Antonio
10:46Put bodies on him
10:48Bang him hard
10:48They got a lot of young players
10:50But the physicalness
10:51Will take him out of
10:52Hopefully
10:53The rhythm on the offensive end
10:55And we saw a hard foul
10:56Right there
10:56And Mike
10:57They played the Detroit Pistons
10:59On this rodeo trip
11:00And what the concerns were
11:02Could they stand up
11:03The physicality
11:03They met the challenge
11:05But then on Sunday
11:06Talking to Mitch Johnson
11:08Before the game
11:09He thought that the Knicks
11:10Got into them
11:11And forced them
11:12To be sloppy
11:12With the ball
11:13To turn over
11:14To not get high percentage shots
11:15So let's see how they react
11:17After the loss
11:18And you know
11:18The only reason
11:19You can get into somebody
11:21As you're saying
11:22Is because the rules
11:23Have changed
11:23Over the last couple years
11:24You never could get into
11:26A guy
11:26And get over the top
11:27Of the school
11:28He's fouled
11:29When Banyama
11:30An 81% free throw shooter
11:32Exceptional for a man his size
11:33Hits the boat
11:35Here's Maxi for three
11:42Nothing but misses
11:43So far for Philly
11:44Castle into the lane
11:45And in a crowd
11:47Champagne now
11:50They let the contact go
11:52And the Spurs wind up
11:53With a castle dunk
11:54You know for the Sixers
11:55Tonight
11:56They're going to have
11:57A tough time
11:58If they have to play
11:59In the half court
11:59All night long
12:00They're going to have
12:00To get some stops
12:01Deflection
12:02Steals
12:02Rebounds
12:03And get out
12:04And use their speed
12:05This half court defense
12:06Is smothering here
12:07To start the game
12:08Grimes is open
12:10But can't break the drought
12:19Castle almost lost it
12:21To the floor
12:21They go
12:22And a whistle blows
12:25And a foul on the Sixers
12:28He used to always have a problem
12:29When both guys go to the floor
12:31From both teams
12:33I can't even call a foul
12:35It's a loose ball
12:36Don't you?
12:36Get on the floor
12:37Let him get after it
12:38Did it be a jump ball?
12:39Well unless the guy
12:40Just dives on top
12:41Of the guy
12:41The thing I don't like
12:43Sometimes is
12:44There's really no possession
12:45Sometimes times
12:46We've got to time out
12:47And get possession
12:48Of the ball
12:49You know that's a
12:49That's a tough play
12:50Mike
12:51Fox for three
12:52And he's got it
12:55People now
12:56They've got to remember
12:57When he was with Sacramento
12:58This guy was a big time scorer
13:00And at one point in time
13:02He was a clutch player
13:03Of the year
13:04Spurs pitching a shutout
13:05To this point
13:12And they'll stay right here
13:13A San Antonio foul
13:15The officials are
13:16Zach Zarbra
13:17Eric Dalen
13:18And Brandon Schwab
13:20Watch that screen
13:22Where he steps into Castle
13:23Castle gets hit hard
13:25As the ball turns the corner
13:26Right there
13:26Nick Nurse
13:27Not real happy
13:35A chance to get on the scoreboard
13:37From the free throw line
13:39You know you talk about
13:40Nick Nurse
13:40Mike I think you and I
13:41Have both been through this before
13:43You get injuries with your team
13:45You know you're playing well
13:47You get hurt
13:48Now you're trying to manage this
13:50I mean you get edgy as a coach
13:51I mean this is tough
13:52To have to endure
13:54Especially with the expectations
13:55Of the 76ers
13:56You put Oubre
13:57And you put Paul George
13:59And you put Embiid back on this roster
14:01And all of a sudden
14:01The guys who were starting
14:02Wind up being your backups
14:03Coming off the bench
14:04And he shows you
14:05This is not a bad roster
14:09Castle in the lane
14:10Got it
14:1311-2
14:22Dominic Marlowe misses
14:25And Edgecombe's attempted dunk
14:27On the follow
14:27Doesn't drop
14:29Three at the other end
14:30No good for the Spurs
14:31And out of bounds
14:34To the Sixers
14:35You know Mike
14:36If we're looking at the Spurs
14:37You know they're young
14:39Yes
14:39That's what everybody's trying to say
14:40The playoffs or whatever
14:41The one thing I'm a little concerned about
14:43Their three-point shooting
14:44Could be a little erratic
14:45As we see Grimes go in
14:47And finally get a layup
14:48First field goal
14:50On the tenth attempt
14:51For the Sixers tonight
14:55Near steal by Grimes
14:56Off his fingertips
14:57And out of bounds
14:58We've seen Philly now
15:00Go for a number of steals
15:01Already in this game
15:02Because they're trying
15:03To produce easy scores
15:05They understand
15:05It's going to be hard
15:06To put enough points up
15:08To beat San Antonio
15:09Unless they get some easy buckets
15:11For sure
15:12Champagne to Fox
15:13And contact for a foul
15:15And they're so small
15:16When you look at their team out there
15:18It's almost like the 6-5
15:19And under league right now
15:20And you're playing against
15:21Wimbyama out there
15:23The Spurs are spreading you out
15:24And Mike you talked about it
15:26In the screen roll
15:27They don't want to give a lot of help
15:28They're trying to get to the bucket
15:30And when the Spurs get there
15:32And get to the free throw line
15:33They get back
15:33They get their defense set
15:35That's when they're at their best
15:36Fox in his ninth year in the league
15:40Has a career scoring average
15:41Better than 21 points a game
15:43Had some big seasons with the Kings
15:45In Sacramento
15:58A Dempona in the game now
16:01He hands to Edgecombe
16:02Now Barlow
16:07Grimes
16:10Into the lane from Maxie
16:12With the left hand
16:13And it's swatted away
16:14By Wimby
16:15See he's not even playing Bona
16:16He right now
16:17He's just laying under the rim
16:19And just playing protector back there
16:21You see him right there
16:22Waiting for Maxie
16:24As he comes in there
16:25Those shots are going to be hard
16:26To find tonight Mike
16:27Well he leaves whoever it is
16:28That he's supposed to be guarding
16:29And then he protects
16:30The front of the rim
16:33Attempted three by Edgecombe
16:34Is off the rim
16:36Here comes Wimby
16:37Who handles the ball
16:38Exceptionally well
16:39For a man his size
16:40But there
16:40Is an over and back
16:42So no sooner do I say that
16:44Then he turns it over
16:45That to me was a tough call
16:46Right there
16:47Because I'm not quite sure
16:48About possession on that
16:49Whether he got his feet over
16:50Let's take a look again
16:51There's the ball
16:52And coming in from the backcourt
16:54They've declared he was over
16:56So then it is a backcourt
16:57Yeah I think Wimby
16:58Had got
16:59It would have been okay
17:00But the guy coming in
17:01From the backcourt
17:01Was a good call
17:04And now the Sixers
17:05Turn it over
17:06Champagny
17:08He hasn't rejected
17:09And Maxie
17:10Back the other one
17:11What a play by Edgecombe
17:15Barlow can't hit
17:19Still Spurs by nine
17:22Castle
17:22Into traffic
17:24And once again
17:25Unsuccessfully
17:26Here comes Grimes
17:27With an alley-oop
17:28To Edgecombe for the dunk
17:35First chance for the arena
17:37To come alive tonight
17:38Well it's their first
17:39Open court play
17:40And they did it with terrific defense
17:42Great block by Edgecombe
17:44And now the Sixers
17:45Are off and running
17:46Edgecombe did it at both ends
17:48Yes he did
17:49You see him come right back
17:51With a second block shot
17:55And the slam to finish it
17:58Or on the NBA app
18:05Bob San Antonio go with a
18:06Quick substitution
18:08Keldon Johnson coming in
18:09Who by the way
18:10Some people are saying
18:11Could be
18:12It should be
18:12In consideration
18:13For six men a year
18:15And they got a bucket
18:16Right away
18:18You know
18:19One of the things
18:20When you coach
18:21Is role definition
18:22And I believe
18:23That Mitch Johnson
18:24Has done a wonderful job
18:26Defining all these guys roles
18:27And they're starring
18:28In the roles
18:29That's why they're a great team
18:30Edgecombe in the lane
18:31Off the back iron
18:33Wemby with the rebound
18:34Tumbles to the floor
18:35Gets rid of it
18:36To Harper
18:37Who had the bucket
18:37A moment ago
18:38For the Spurs
18:43Lassell's shot is off
18:45Castle takes it back up
18:46And draws the foul
18:48Doug let me ask you this
18:49They want to play
18:50At a fast pace
18:51They want to get the ball
18:52Down the court
18:52Get a good look
18:53If it's a good look
18:54Shoot it
18:54But is there an exception
18:56If you're a seven foot three
18:57Big man is laying on the ground
18:59At the other end
18:59Should maybe
19:00We take a little bit longer
19:01Yeah I would
19:02I would agree with that
19:03And the thing about that
19:05Even with that happening
19:06They still got an offensive
19:08Rebound
19:09As I said before
19:11With the Spurs shooting
19:12You know when Castle
19:13You know he's a streaky shooter
19:15The self-shooting
19:16Bob is very important
19:17To this team
19:18Obviously
19:18Dylan Harper
19:20Coming in off the bench
19:21But
19:22For the Spurs
19:24To be really good
19:25In the playoffs
19:26They're going to have to
19:26Consistently make some shots
19:29The foul was on
19:30Dominic Barlow
19:31Of the Sixers
19:32His second
19:35Castle makes one of two
19:37For the Spurs
19:38Keep the ball
19:42That one rims out
19:45Here comes Maxi
19:51Fade away jumper
19:55Well he's burned the Spurs
19:56The last two times
19:57He played them
19:58So far not tonight
19:59If you watch that play
20:00In slow motion
20:01He saw
20:02Wimby back there
20:03And pull back
20:04And shot the jumper
20:05Instead of taking it
20:06To the rim
20:07Harper with a spin move
20:08And to the left hand
20:09Off the glass
20:10He's so clever
20:11Both hands
20:12Got great footwork
20:13Pivots well
20:14He's a talented young man
20:16Yes he is
20:17And Mitchell Johnson
20:19Spoke very highly of him
20:20When we were
20:21Busy with him
20:22Before the game
20:27Maxi
20:27There you go
20:29Well he recently
20:30Passed Allen Iverson
20:31For the most
20:32Threes in Sixer history
20:34Of course they shoot
20:35More of them
20:36These days
20:36But he also shoots
20:38Them for a higher
20:38Percentage
20:39Than AI did
20:42You know back to
20:43Wimby for a moment
20:44In the games I've seen
20:45We were talking
20:46About this earlier
20:47It's almost like
20:48He doesn't have a man
20:49He's guarding
20:50It's almost like
20:51He's playing the entire
20:52Opposing team
20:53He's a roamer
20:53And that's why
20:54If you can
20:55You'd like to get him
20:56Involved in actions
20:57But he's very smart
20:58You know he switches out
21:00And guards the basket
21:01And lets somebody else
21:02Take his man
21:03Out on the perimeter
21:06Johnson for three
21:13And Watford might have
21:15Pushed off
21:16On the rebound attempt
21:20Boy I thought they
21:21Got away with one there
21:25Look at Castle
21:26Holding on to that
21:27Arm right there
21:28Well
21:29Could have gone either way
21:30Right coach
21:31In college
21:32They'd run over the board
21:33And look at the replay
21:34And that'd be a hook and hold
21:35And that's been about
21:36Five minutes on that play
21:38Hook and hold
21:40We don't need to wait
21:41For five minutes
21:42At this point
21:42I'm telling you
21:43I don't like to make
21:44Five minutes anytime
21:45Bob
21:45Especially working with you
21:47The way your feet move
21:48Are you kidding me
21:51You're thinking back
21:52To the 90s
21:53And early 2000s
21:54Not now
21:55I know the spry
21:57Bob
21:57Here's backseat
21:59And edge call
22:12They let the contact go
22:14And eventually
22:16Bona gets the bucket
22:19That's the 24th game
22:20Now this year
22:21That Wimby's had
22:23At least three blocks
22:24That leads the NBA
22:31Harper's three was off
22:33It's going back the other way
22:35Has it knocked away
22:36And the Sixers will keep it
22:40There's another change
22:41In the game
22:42To Mike
22:43That used to be a foul
22:44When a guy would drive
22:45Like that
22:46But the offensive player
22:47Now is creating
22:48So much of the contact
22:49As a defender
22:50You're trying to get
22:52Yourself in position
22:53And it's just
22:54Guy just sort of
22:55Gives you the shoulder
22:56These players
22:57They are so adept
22:59At creating space
23:01Around the basket
23:02As you see Wimby
23:03Go to the bench
23:04It's interesting to note
23:05His numbers are accumulated
23:07In managed playing time
23:09He's only averaging
23:10About 28-29 minutes a game
23:11Yeah, the leading minutes
23:13Got for them
23:13It's only 31 minutes
23:15So they did a wonderful job
23:16And they got young legs
23:17This is a very young team
23:22Maxey
23:24To Bona
23:36Fox
23:37Maxey got a piece of it
23:50Attempted lobbed to the bucket
23:51And it goes awry
23:53You see Cameron Payne
23:55Out there on the floor
23:56For the 76ers
23:57He's had an interesting
23:58Ride in the NBA
24:00Out of the NBA
24:01Goes over
24:02Plays in partisan
24:03And comes back again
24:04And Gary is back in the NBA
24:06Harper
24:09His dad Ron Harper
24:10Played on five championship teams
24:12In the NBA
24:13His brother Ron Harper Jr.
24:15Is in the NBA
24:15The DNA is there
24:17Yes it is
24:19Brought five NBA championships
24:31I'm not too sure that
24:32Tony didn't go to a little matchup zone
24:35That time
24:35Just to change pace
24:36On the defensive end
24:39A little different look
24:40With Wimby being on the bench
24:41Now a four-point game
24:45Ryan
24:49Maxey with a rebound
24:56Sixers on a 10-2 run
25:00Edwards
25:02Hands the three
25:06And suddenly
25:07It's a one-point game
25:08Well one three
25:09From three
25:09For the Spurs
25:10Right now
25:11So their poor shooting
25:12Has allowed the Sixers
25:13To hang around
25:19And Payne and Harper
25:21Get tangled up
25:22A little bit
25:24Nothing much
25:25Will come of it
25:27Cameron Payne's
25:28A little feisty
25:28A little feisty guard
25:29That's how he stuck around

25:51It looked like
25:53He was going to
25:53Step out of bounds
25:54He caught it
25:55And tight broke
25:57The sideline
25:58What a shot
26:01And Doug
26:02As you will remember
26:03That final score
26:05On Sean Elliott's
26:06Three-pointer
26:07Now a Spurs TV
26:08Broadcaster
26:0886-85
26:09Was the only lead
26:11The Spurs had
26:11In that entire game
26:12You know Bob
26:13When we did that game
26:14We left after that game
26:16You and I
26:16And David Neal
26:17We went back
26:18And had dinner
26:18And we relived that game
26:20It was such an exciting game
26:22It was such an exciting game
26:22The pictures
26:22The graphics
26:23And when Sean Elliott
26:25Made that shot
26:26It's just spectacular finish
26:27Part of the first
26:28Of the five Spurs championships
26:31Under Greg Popovich
26:32The winningest coach
26:34In NBA history
26:35After 29 years
26:36At the Hounds
26:37Still part of the organization
26:39And the mentor
26:39Obviously
26:40For Mitch Johnson
26:41That first team in 99
26:42That beat the Knicks
26:43In the final
26:44Duncan
26:45David Robinson
26:46Sean Elliott
26:47And then later
26:48Duncan still there
26:50Tony Parker
26:51Manu Ginobili
26:52Four more
26:54Jim Gray has more
26:56Jim
26:57And we all had the opportunity
26:58Doug Collins
26:59The Czar
27:00And myself
27:00To speak to coach Popovich
27:02Before the game
27:02He sounded great
27:03He's watching tonight
27:04Told him I wish he was here
27:06To give me heck
27:06During that sideline interview
27:08And of course
27:08Doug got some
27:09Got some strategy for him
27:11But the good news is
27:12He sounds great
27:12He's back to work
27:13And we're told every day
27:14That he goes down there
27:15Our good buddy
27:16Tim Duncan
27:17Huge huge superstar
27:18In this league
27:19Takes him to work
27:20Maxey with the floater
27:21That's off
27:24Sixers steal it back
27:25Maxey for three
27:29Better not give him
27:30Those open looks
27:31Because he will not
27:32Give him those open shots
27:33Each time
27:34He's gone straight up
27:35And down
27:36And uncontested
27:37He's knocked it down
27:38It's when he's fading
27:39When he's falling
27:39To his side
27:40The off balance
27:41That's when he's not
27:42Making it
27:42That's a great point
27:44Mike
27:44You know
27:45You can see
27:45Some of those shots
27:46Just sort of
27:47Jackknifing them up there
27:48Because the defense
27:49Has been so good
27:53Spurs at one time
27:55Led 18 to
27:56Six
27:58Sixers can tie it
27:59Or take the lead
28:00Here
28:02This would give them
28:03The lead
28:03But no
28:04It's all for Watford
28:11Johnson into the lane
28:15Back out for Fox
28:20Well if he does that
28:21He's going to be
28:23One heck of an NBA player
28:24Because Carter
28:25Is a terrific defender
28:26He makes open shots
28:28Like that
28:28They're now
28:29Two of ten
28:29From the three point line
28:31And Wimby
28:31Has not attempted
28:32A shot
28:33Eight minutes
28:35He had four blocks
28:36While he was in there
28:37But no field goal
28:39Attempting
28:39Brian alone
28:40Underneath for the dunk
28:41Boy they find
28:42Those guys
28:43The San Antonio dunk
28:44They might
28:45If you run the floor hard
28:46They always are looking
28:47To advance the ball
28:48By the pass
28:49And that diagonal cut
28:50Is so tough to stop
28:51Back up to seven
28:53And now four
28:54He's streaky
28:56Campaign
28:56What did Nick Nurse say
28:57Before the game
28:58He might be one for six
29:00Or five for six
29:01I hope he's five for six
29:02Tonight
29:03Well he got that one
29:04And as a guy
29:05Who coached in the G League
29:06Speaking of Nick Nurse
29:07He has an affinity
29:09For guys like that
29:10Up and down
29:11Right
29:11Sure
29:13He'll hold for the last one
29:15Bit of an overlap
29:17Between game clock
29:18And shot clock
29:21Parker for three
29:22And he's got it
29:26From half court
29:27Maxey
29:28Almost banked it in
29:33Fast pace first
29:35Spurs by seven
29:37You're watching
29:38Coast to Coast Tuesday
29:40And Throwback Tuesday
29:41Presented by Kia
29:49Harper's on Miller
29:50McKee
29:51Gets it into Miller
29:52For the win
29:55Four tenths of a second
29:59One of the greatest
30:01Clutch playoff
30:02Performers of his generation
30:04Has apparently
30:06Done it again
30:08What a series that was
30:09Eastern Conference
30:10Final
30:12Kind of a prelude
30:13To the sixth
30:14Bulls championship
30:15In that dynastic run
30:16But the Pacers
30:17Took them to seven
30:18And had a lead
30:19In Chicago
30:20Like a twelve point lead
30:21In the first half
30:22In Chicago
30:23In game seven
30:24Remember the fourth quarter
30:25A jump ball
30:26Turned that game around
30:27Uh-huh
30:27Remember that
30:29And the bulls
30:30Got possession of it
30:31Judd Bush
30:32Had a great game
30:33That night
30:34Remember off the bench
30:35Payne cans
30:36Another three
30:37Up from the key league
30:38There he goes
30:38Making his presence felt
30:52Luke Cornett
30:54Now Harper
30:55Who's been hot
30:56And stays that way
30:57He's got fourteen
31:01You know
31:01Reggie was upset
31:02Apparently on Sunday
31:04They showed something
31:05From game seven
31:06Which the Pacers lost
31:07So this is a make good
31:08We showed his game
31:10One of the highlights
31:11Of a great hall of fame
31:12Career
31:12Reggie was fantastic
31:15Grimes
31:16Worked for that one
31:17But missed it
31:20Johnson with the rebound
31:22There's something
31:23That we talked about
31:23The fast break points
31:24In that first quarter
31:25When the quarter
31:26End of you
31:26See the lay
31:27At that time
31:29It's two two
31:30Two two
31:31Fast break
31:31At the end
31:32Of the first quarter
31:33And that
31:34Bobby
31:34Thank you
31:35That was
31:35Kelvin Johnson
31:37That is what's
31:38Known as a
31:38Hard foul
31:42He's going to say
31:43He was going after
31:44The ball
31:44And we shall see
31:46As Zach Zarba
31:47Is motioning
31:49Everybody to get
31:49To the bench
31:51You know
31:52Luke Cornett
31:53Obviously a very
31:54Very hard foul
31:55But he has really
31:57Developed into
31:57A terrific
31:58Backup center
31:59He had a great
32:00Run there
32:01With the Boston Celtics
32:02So we'll see
32:02How they rule this
32:12Well he did get
32:13The ball
32:15But he got
32:16A larger piece
32:17Of his opponent
32:18Bob about
32:19Two minutes ago
32:20In the game
32:21Cornett
32:21Was the one
32:22Who was hit
32:23By a 76er guy
32:24And he wound up
32:25On his back
32:26Under the basketball
32:27This is right
32:28At the end
32:28Of the quarter
32:28Watch right here
32:29Take a look
32:30At what happens
32:31That was Bonner
32:32Right there
32:32Pushing him
32:33In the back
32:35And there he is
32:36Asking the official
32:37Where's the foul
32:38I got hit
32:39So now he
32:40Just decided
32:41You know what
32:41I may have to
32:42Take this into
32:42My own hands
32:43And there's
32:44The hard foul
32:44And that's why
32:45He is the czar
32:48Mike Fratello
32:49At his finest
32:50Right there
32:53That's a good call
32:54Mike
32:54To catch that
33:02Not only the foul
33:03But a flagrant czar
33:06Well he got his
33:07Money's worth
33:09He's not gonna worry
33:10About that extra
33:11Free throw
33:11They're getting
33:12Well that bond
33:13Is a live wire man
33:14When you play him
33:15He is gonna be
33:16Up around that rim
33:17He's gonna be
33:17On the boards
33:18He's gonna bang you
33:19His energy
33:20See I love guys
33:22Like him coming
33:23Off the bench
33:24You know Mike
33:25I think you and I
33:26Are very similar
33:27We love high energy
33:28Guys off that bench
33:2982 game season
33:31Guys will give you
33:32Some juice
33:33To get you through
33:34The long year
33:35Doug you played
33:36Against the coach
33:37Against our Hawks
33:38Seems way back when
33:39But those are some
33:40High energy guys
33:41Oh boy
33:41We had a lot of them
33:42On the Hawks
33:44That was one of the blueprints
33:45Whenever I coached
33:47I wanted that kind of model
33:49I wanted a very effective bench
33:51But I wanted one with energy
33:54See I think energy and skill
33:56I think energy and toughness
33:58Are skills
33:58I don't think they're intangibles
34:00And I think if you are
34:02A great energy
34:02High energy player
34:04And you play with great toughness
34:06I think you can find your spot
34:07On the roster
34:08No question
34:11Spurs jumped out big early
34:12Sixers cut it to one
34:15Now back to seven from nine
34:19It would be up
34:20Getting a very long rest
34:24Edgecombe on the move
34:27Switched hands
34:28But couldn't finish it
34:30Grimes steals it right back
34:35Grimes starting tonight
34:36Because Kelly Oubry
34:38Is ill
34:39And a scratch
34:40And Nick Nurse
34:41Really would like to use him
34:42Off the bench
34:43What a block there
34:44By Cornette
34:46Swatted it right back
34:47In Payne's face
34:48And at the other end
34:49Getting a little bit
34:50Of satisfaction
34:51Of his own
34:52Cornette
34:53For the slam
34:53Got the big block
34:54Ran out
34:55Got the bucket
34:56That's a nice job
34:56For the guard
34:57To reward the big man
34:58For running the floor
35:01Payne
35:01Little floating jumper
35:02Well
35:03Nick Nurse
35:04Won G League titles
35:05With the Iowa Energy
35:06And the Rio Grande Valley Vipers
35:08He has a special feeling
35:10For G League guys
35:11Like Payne
35:12He's the pride of Carolina
35:13Well I will tell you that
35:15My nephew Rob
35:16Played with him
35:17At Northern Iowa
35:18Teammates
35:21Johnson
35:22Tough bucket
35:23He's a good player
35:25Nice little ball folk
35:26Out there
35:26Get to defend
35:27And fly by
35:28Make the layup
35:29He's an efficient player
35:38Payne
35:39With that floater again
35:41He may just stay here
35:43You're wearing number 20
35:44You expect the shot
35:45To go in right
35:47Sixers 20
35:48Right Bob
35:49Come on now
35:49Hey
35:50That's you
35:50You're better than that
35:51Come on
35:52I know
35:52I know
36:02And the spurs lose it
36:04And the spurs lose it
36:05And sometimes you'll
36:07Hopper slip
36:08Just a little too long
36:13You see Cornette up high
36:15Passes there
36:16He finishes
36:19You know as the game was going on
36:20We're starting to see a little bit more open court play now
36:23I thought it was a little disjointed
36:25To start the game
36:25Sixers gonna have to get some steals
36:27Turnovers
36:28That's really their bread's butter
36:31Defensively
36:36Edgecombe
36:36Backs away
36:38How about that speed
36:40Wemby
36:40With that 8 foot wingspan
36:43Conspector gadget on that play
36:45I don't think he even leaped
36:46He did
36:46I just think he took it flat footed
36:48That's his first shot of the game
36:50Right there
36:50Which he misses
36:55And a kickball stops play
36:58You know for the uninitiated
37:00For the younger fans
37:01Who might remember that you coached
37:03The Bulls
37:04And the Pistons
37:06And the Wizards and the Sixers
37:08He did jump a little bit
37:09Hardly the peak of his leap
37:10Just a little
37:11A little hop and a skip
37:13But
37:13The guy to my right
37:15Was a four-time NBA All-Star
37:17In an eight-year career
37:17All of the Sixers
37:19That might have taken him
37:20To the Hall of Fame
37:21As a player
37:21Had not injuries
37:22Kind of cut that career short
37:24So he eventually went
37:25To the Hall of Fame
37:25As a combination
37:26Player and coach
37:27Thank you
37:28Thank you Bob
37:28For that
37:29I don't think there's anybody
37:30Who loved to play the game
37:31More than I did
37:32And I love
37:33Represented the Sixers
37:34In everything I did
37:35I love this city
37:36It's been very good to me
37:38And my family
37:43Baines sticking his chest out
37:44Trying to pick up
37:45The offensive foul
37:47Baines made some nice
37:49Contributions here
37:50He's really given them
37:50A lift
37:51And we talked about
37:52That anemic bench
37:53Of the Sixers
37:54And they've come in tonight
37:56And actually done a good job
37:58Without Embiid
38:00Without George
38:00Without Oubre
38:01Tonight
38:03Hey Bob
38:04Since we're on the
38:06Doug Collins bandwagon
38:07Uh oh
38:08Uh oh
38:08I'm going to tell you
38:10Just how great a player he was
38:12He was leading
38:13The NBA
38:14In free throw percentage
38:15Came into Atlanta
38:17Okay
38:18And at the end of the game
38:19He had to make two foul shots
38:20To tie the game
38:21He misses
38:22The first foul shot
38:24And you're like
38:25Looking at each other
38:25And I was U.P. Brown's assistant
38:27And we'll say
38:27He never misses
38:28But he missed the first one
38:30So what did he do
38:31Intentionally misses
38:32The second one
38:33Dr. J flies in
38:34From the back
38:35Grabs the rebound
38:36Dunks it
38:37Ties the game
38:38Oh but let me say
38:39Our partner tonight
38:40May have made
38:41The two most pressure packed
38:44Free throws
38:44In the history of basketball
38:45No question
38:46Down by one
38:47In 1972
38:48In Munich
38:49In the Olympics
38:50It's a good thing
38:51I didn't know
38:51What I was doing
38:52Well you were knocked
38:53Into the basket station
38:54Little birdies
38:55Were losing over your head
38:56Shook it off
38:58Made them both
38:59And then infamously
39:00Yeah
39:01The Soviet Union
39:02Got three chances
39:03And the Americans
39:05Refused the silver medal
39:06Because they felt
39:06The gold had been
39:07Stolen from them
39:08And those medals
39:08Still sit in a vault
39:09In Lausanne
39:10Isn't it amazing
39:11Though as coaches
39:12We remember
39:13Every loss like that
39:14I mean this is
39:16A game back in the
39:171980 or whatever
39:18It might be
39:19And Mike remembered
39:20Every piece of that
39:21I told Doc
39:23Exactly where it's
39:24Going to miss
39:24That free throw
39:25It worked out perfectly
39:27And Julius
39:28Made it look good
39:31Spurs by seven
39:32With the ball
39:32And now make it nine
39:37Castle got to the hoop
39:38And threw it down
39:39With authority
39:40And that's what
39:41We saw early in the game
39:42Where the screener
39:43The defender
39:44Staying very close
39:45To the screener
39:46And now the ball
39:47Turns the corner
39:48And if the guard
39:49Can't get over
39:50He's on his own
39:50And normally
39:51You would have
39:53Drummond coming in
39:54To help
39:54But the guy spotting
39:56Up in the corner
39:56Is Wimby
39:58Who's a terrific
39:59Three-point shooter
40:00So that's his
40:01He created space
40:03For Castle
40:04On that play
40:04To get that score
40:30We used to actually feel
40:32That he was making up
40:34Most of what he
40:35Demonstrated on the
40:36Telestrator
40:38Well they didn't call
40:39Him the Tsar
40:40The Telestrator
40:41For nothing
40:41And by the way
40:42We miss Marv Albert
40:44Oh hi Marv
40:44If we had the real
40:46Starting five
40:47Or whatever we want
40:48To call it here
40:49Marv would be sitting
40:50Here I would have
40:51Co-hosted it
40:51With Hannah
40:52Marv not available
40:54Maybe later in the season
40:55We're missing
40:55Ahmad Rashad
40:56As well
40:58Well you only have
40:59What 28 Emmys
41:00Or whatever
41:00I think you're
41:01I think you're
41:02Capable right
41:02A little bit of rust
41:04With 30
41:05How many of these dudes
41:06Hoping it's peeling off
41:07Hoping the rust
41:08Is peeling off
41:09As we go along
41:10So that time
41:11Drummond on the
41:12Offensive glass
41:13With the tip in
41:18Castle
41:19Cross court
41:24That was a
41:25Great read by Castle
41:27He wanted to go to
41:28Wimby
41:28Roll to the basket
41:29But they rotated
41:30In front of him
41:31And he skipped it
41:32To the far left corner
41:33Great read by Castle
41:34Champagne with the three
41:38Drummond having
41:38An off night
41:390 for 3
41:40From 3
41:41Tried it in close
41:42That didn't work either
41:43Who's the guy
41:44Used to say
41:45When a guy would
41:46Make a play like that
41:47Three times
41:47You get a broad
41:48Don't you have cable
41:49Straight on three
41:50For Wimby
41:51Oh boy
41:52I mean that's just
41:54Insane
41:54Oh boy
41:55The defense
41:56The handle he has
41:58The inside game
41:59The free throw shooting
42:01The three point range
42:03That one rattles out
42:05For Drummond
42:06He's 0 for 4
42:070 for 4
42:09I think Nick
42:10Might tell him
42:11To put that
42:11One in his pocket
42:12Wimby
42:13Not this time
42:16Well how about this
42:18Tell you in a second
42:19Because I think
42:19Wimby may unleash again
42:21The fake
42:22Then to the corner
42:23And that works
42:25So Bob
42:26How about this now
42:27You block a shot
42:28You come down
42:29You get a deep three
42:30And so now
42:31A guy bites
42:32On your shot fake
42:33And he get the assist
42:34One dribble
42:34And you get a corner
42:35Pass for a three
42:36I mean little
42:38Subtle little thing
42:39This guy's game
42:39Is so mature
42:40For a young guy
42:42And Mike
42:45Here's I guess
42:45A foul after the shot
42:47Here
42:47Oh here we go
42:48Drummond
42:48With a foul
42:50In the back
42:51On Wimby
42:53Yep
42:53Vassell hit the three
42:54Now Wimby to the foul line
42:56You talk about his
42:56Polish game
42:57He's 22 years old
42:58He was the rookie
42:59Of the year in 24
42:59Might be the MVP
43:00This year
43:01He'll have competition
43:02For that
43:02But he'd be in
43:03The mix
43:04Somewhere
43:05He's been playing
43:06Professionally
43:07Since he was 15 years old
43:09In France
43:10An American audience
43:12Has got a good look at him
43:13At the Olympics
43:14Where the French team
43:15In 24
43:16In Paris
43:16Both the women
43:17And the men
43:17Nearly beat
43:18The gold medal
43:19Winning Americans
43:20Well this is his
43:21I think 26th straight
43:22Game that he's played
43:23And he's not got
43:24Any rest days
43:25Planned for
43:26Finishing up the season
43:28The Spurs are finishing
43:29Up this rodeo trip
43:31Mike you and I know
43:32That when
43:32When Pop was coaching
43:34And he had his
43:35Great great team
43:35They used to have used
43:36That radio
43:38Rodeo trip
43:39As a bonding experience
43:40They were a great team
43:41So they could go out
43:42And win on the road
43:43This team is doing
43:44The same thing
43:45He's four-pailed by Bissell
43:46For the slam
43:49And all of a sudden
43:51The Spurs open it up
43:53A 19 point advantage
43:56Disimposing their will
43:59Grimes is foul
44:01And you see Wimby
44:02On that play
44:03He looks at Bissell
44:04And he goes
44:05You don't need to do that
44:06I'm right behind you
44:07Here to protect you
44:08Let's go back earlier
44:09I told you about
44:10That great read
44:11That was made
44:12That time
44:13Watch in the deep
44:13Corner here
44:14The pass goes
44:15Over the top
44:16Wimby had rolled
44:16Down the middle
44:17And as a result
44:18Of that
44:19The three-point shot
44:20By Champagne
44:22Oh boy
44:23Another steal
44:23By Bissell
44:24This time
44:25He can't finish it
44:28Looks for the foul
44:29But he's not
44:29Going to get it
44:32This is what
44:33What happens
44:33When you're
44:34Got a lot of injuries
44:36And your
44:37Starters are playing
44:38Such heavy minutes
44:39They're really
44:40Keying on
44:40Max and Edgecom
44:41There's going to be
44:42Another foul
44:42Off an inline
44:43Out of bounds
44:44And your bench
44:45Is trying to come in
44:46And your bench
44:46Guys are not used
44:47To playing that
44:48Many minutes
44:48And it just
44:49It just has that effect
44:51Bob
44:51And we're starting
44:51To see it right now
44:52The Spurs are imposing
44:54Their will
44:55On both ends
44:55Of the court
44:59When you
45:00Anticipate
45:01Shoot the gap
45:01In the passing lane
45:02You come up
45:03With those steals
45:04You have the opportunity
45:04To get easy buckets
45:06Or free throws
45:08Spurs are 45
45:09And 22 overall
45:10Good road team
45:1122 and 12
45:12On the road
45:13The Sixers
45:14Are just a game
45:15Above 500
45:16At home
45:17And about to be
45:18Run out of their own
45:18Building with their
45:19Thin troops
45:20Tonight
45:22Spurs won
45:2311 straight games
45:24They went 11-0
45:26In the month of February
45:27Lost their last game
45:28In January
45:28Lost on March 1st
45:30To the Knicks
45:31At the Garden
45:32But have seemed
45:33To regain their stride
45:34Here in Philadelphia
45:35Two nights later
45:36Yeah they had to wallow
45:37In that loss
45:38On the road
45:38For a couple days
45:39Too
45:39They didn't have
45:40A chance
45:40To go home
45:41So
45:42They were ready
45:42Tonight
45:43Maxie working
45:44So hard for every shot
45:45Here come the Spurs
45:47On a 13-0 run
45:52Great pass
45:54Looking to move
45:55The basketball
45:57Here's Bryant
45:57With a good look
45:58At a three
45:59Put that on your clinic
46:01Take Mitch Johnson
46:02That's one
46:03When you're doing
46:03A clinic
46:04You say
46:05I want to talk about
46:06Ball movement
46:07And guys
46:08Catching it
46:080.5
46:09And moving it
46:10If you don't have
46:11The shot
46:11Up close to him
46:13Says I'm not leaving him
46:14I'm staying with him
46:14Well guess what happens
46:15The guard goes all the way
46:17To the basket
46:17Now let's watch
46:18The next time
46:19Here he is
46:19He's going to go under
46:20At that time
46:21Well when he goes
46:22Underneath it
46:23Watch what Wemby does
46:24Steps back
46:25Faces up
46:25Knocks down a three
46:27So he can have you
46:28Playing mental gymnastics
46:30Statistical symmetry
46:31At this point
46:32For Wemby
46:33Five points
46:33Five rebounds
46:34Five blocks
46:35And how about
46:36The defense
46:37The Spurs have put on
46:38Edgecombe and Maxie
46:39Tonight
46:39Edgecombe
46:40One for eight
46:41Maxie two for eight
46:42Remember he talked
46:43About Maxie
46:44Having a 52 point
46:45Game against him
46:46He hits the floater
46:48Here he's averaging
46:4829 a game
46:49He'll have to pick it up
46:50To reach that mark
46:51Against the Spurs
46:52Tonight
46:52He's working so hard
46:53On every possession
46:54The guy is in such
46:56Great physical condition
46:58Leads the league
46:59In minutes play
47:00A perpetual energy
47:02Machine
47:02Yes he is
47:07Wemby goes up
47:08He's going to block it
47:09No
47:10A little pullback
47:11Because he knows
47:12It's going to be
47:12Goal 10
47:14Now this is a guy
47:15Now who grew up
47:16With that ball
47:17Up on the rim
47:17You can knock it off
47:18And do all that
47:19Kind of stuff
47:20Over the internet
47:22To compound the Sixers
47:23Problems
47:24This could turn
47:25Into a three point play
47:41Stephon Castle
47:42With the chance
47:43For the three point play
47:45Last year's rookie
47:47Of the year
47:48Averaging just shy
47:49Of 17 points
47:50And seven assists
47:51This season
47:51For the Spurs
48:05Minimal contact
48:06But a whistle
48:08Other side of the floor
48:11Comes off the ball
48:12Foul
48:13They got
48:14Vassell for holding
48:15Maxie
48:16As he was trying
48:17To cut off that screen
48:18As I
48:18As I said
48:1974
48:19Maxie's getting
48:20No airspace at all
48:21He's creating shots
48:23They're so off balance
48:25It's been a
48:26It's been a tough
48:26Shooting night
48:27For him
48:27Here's a look
48:28Here's a look at the
48:29Upcoming national TV
48:30Schedule
48:30Tomorrow on ESPN
48:32It's the Thunder
48:32At the Knicks
48:33That's going to be
48:34A hot ticket
48:34Clocks at Bucks
48:36Follows that on the
48:36Doubleheader
48:37Then Thursday on
48:38Prime Video
48:38Warriors at Rockets
48:40730 Eastern
48:41Lakers at Nuggets
48:4210 Eastern
48:43For more on these games
48:44You can go to NBA.com
48:45Or visit the NBA app
48:47And just to follow up
48:48Bob on Embiid
48:49Not playing right now
48:50He had a 70 point
48:51Game against the Spurs
48:52Yes
48:52Tonight it's 28 to 16
48:54Points in the
48:55Paid for the Spurs
48:56That would be
48:57Drastically different
48:58If Embiid were playing
49:00This is the fifth time
49:02Next one with a steal
49:04And the behind the back
49:05Pass to Maxie
49:06For the slam
49:06There's those two guards
49:09That's when they're at your best
49:15Gives the fans something
49:17To react to
49:17Little zone here
49:19Showed by the
49:19Exactly
49:21Castle
49:22Or Wemby
49:23Or you get the heart
49:25Of that zone
49:25That's
49:26I mean
49:27Who do you guard
49:28The guy going to lay it up
49:29Or Wemby for a dunk
49:30Since Wemby has been
49:32In the league
49:32This is the fifth time
49:33That the Spurs
49:34Have played the Sixers
49:35And Embiid has missed
49:36Three of them
49:38But in one of them
49:39In January of 2014
49:43And Embiid scored 70 points
49:45Had 18 rebounds
49:47Wemby went for 33 and 7
49:49But 70 points
49:51Well Bonner there
49:52Put a lick on him
49:53On that play
49:54He went right into it
49:56Tell you what
49:57Wemby you know
49:57He might be long and lanky
49:59But I tell you
49:59He's got toughness
50:00And he's got a
50:02Competitive heart
50:02And spirit
50:03I love what I saw
50:05On him during the
50:06All-Star game
50:06He was upset
50:07When they lost those games
50:09You could see it
50:10On his face
50:10And wanted to play defense
50:12And he set the tone
50:13For the whole
50:14All-Star weekend
50:15When he said
50:15I'm going to compete
50:17And some of the players
50:18And some of the players
50:18The older guys
50:19Yeah we'll see
50:19We'll see
50:20Anthony Edwards said
50:22I'm the MVP
50:23Because he taught me to
50:28See Bonner this time
50:29Backing into Wemby
50:30Hit him hard into the ribcage
50:33And that's where
50:33When we went down
50:34And Bonner with the finish
50:36At the rim
50:36Once she knocks the big man
50:38Out of the way
50:39Tell me that does a little
50:40Block a block from
50:41The following guard
50:43Pulling tackle
50:44That's a
50:45That's an oblique injury
50:47Waiting to happen
50:48He hit him up in the ribs
50:49And the chest
50:50And now he's grabbing
50:50His knee
50:52You know I watched
50:53That Pistons game
50:53He was on that floor
50:55So many times
50:56During that game
50:57He kept getting up
50:58And getting up
50:59And he was not
51:01Going to give in to that
51:02And they didn't start
51:03Going
51:03You know Mitch
51:04Mitch Johnson said
51:05You know we don't start
51:07Playing hand-to-hand combat
51:09When teams get tough
51:10We move the ball
51:11Speed, quickness
51:12That's how we combat
51:13Those teams that try
51:14To play tough
51:15Wem Banyama
51:17Is listed at 7-4
51:19That's probably accurate
51:20And 2-35
51:21He looks
51:23Thinner than that
51:24Because he's so long
51:25Maybe 2-35 is correct
51:27Here is what
51:28Is most important
51:29Tonight
51:30The Spurs lead by 24
51:32They are plus 24
51:34In the 14 minutes
51:35That Wem B has been
51:36On the floor
51:36What does that tell you?
51:38This is a factor
51:39In the game
51:39Yes
51:40Excellent observation
51:41That's why they call
51:42You the czar
51:42And also what it tells you
51:44Is that his minutes
51:46Are managed as
51:47After you
51:47It's been deemed
51:48That Bona dislodges
51:49Wem Banyama
51:50From a legal
51:51Guarding position
51:51There is nothing
51:52Clear or conclusive
51:53To overturn the call
51:54On the floor
51:55Offensive foul stands
51:58But what I was going
51:59To say Bob
52:00Is with Wem B
52:01They try to keep him
52:03As fresh as possible
52:04And Nick Nurse
52:05Had challenged that play
52:07I think that was
52:08An easy call myself
52:10The reaction from
52:11The Sixer fans
52:12Booing the call
52:13There was not enough
52:14Evidence to overturn
52:15And the call stands
52:16And that is correct
52:17But nothing's going
52:18Their way
52:18Right
52:19So they're just
52:20They're just
52:21Vending some frustration
52:22At this point
52:22Yeah
52:23These Philadelphia crowds
52:25Can get a little edgy
52:26Oh really?
52:26The one thing
52:27You gotta do
52:28I learned
52:29The minute I step foot
52:30In this city
52:31Play hard
52:32Compete
52:33Every single night
52:35And if you do that
52:36They will cheer for you
52:39The cell
52:42And that one's off
52:44For Champagne
52:49Watford floater
52:51Through the foul
52:52You were on
52:53Sixer teams
52:54They drafted you
52:55With the first pick
52:56In the draft
52:57Because they had
52:57One of the historically
52:58Worst teams ever
52:59They're like
53:00Nine and 73
53:00They picked you
53:01Number one
53:02And not long after that
53:03That's the great play
53:04Earlier
53:05Edgecombe with the steal
53:06The behind the back pass
53:07And the dunk off of it
53:08By Maxie
53:09But not long after that
53:10The two leagues merged
53:13The ABA folds
53:14Dr. J is on your team
53:15George McGinnis is on your team
53:17Caldwell Jones
53:18All out of the ABA
53:19Eventually Bobby Jones
53:21That was a heck of a team
53:22Moses Malone
53:22Moses Malone eventually
53:23Yeah
53:26Yeah
53:26The ABA was good
53:27To the 76ers
53:28Sure was
53:29I know I was happy
53:31When we got George McGinnis
53:32Well
53:32You know
53:33We started then
53:34To become relevant
53:37Terrific
53:38Documentary
53:38On Amazon Prime
53:40Called Soul Power
53:41About the history
53:41Of the ABA
53:43Lasted only nine years
53:44Had a dramatic effect
53:45On the history of basketball
53:49John Penny
53:51Almost got the bounce
53:53Castle took it back
53:58The sell from the corner
54:00Say what
54:01It's going to take
54:02The good team
54:02To beat these Spurs
54:04In a seven game series
54:05That good team
54:06Might be the Thunder
54:07But that could be
54:07An epic set
54:08I don't care
54:09How young they are
54:09They beat the Thunder
54:10Four out of five
54:12This year
54:12Because they match up
54:13Well with them
54:18Maxi working
54:18For everything
54:19Tonight
54:20And gets the hoop
54:23One of the things
54:24Is that CNN
54:24Is that CNN
54:25Totally adjusted
54:25You see Maxi come in
54:27For the steal
54:27From behind
54:28And misses the three
54:29But the follow
54:31By Edgecombe
54:32And throw two electric guards
54:34Man
54:34I pay to watch these guys play
54:36They play hard
54:37They compete
54:38They're exciting
54:40Here's the thing
54:41They're down big
54:41But they're still competing
54:43Yes they are
54:44Champagne
54:45It's the three
54:46I'm telling you
54:47When they shoot threes
54:48Look out
54:49Where are they now
54:5010 for 21
54:51From three
54:59Watford
55:01Is that a goaltender
55:03On Wemby
55:04I think so
55:05It was worth the price
55:06Yeah
55:07You just let them know
55:09He's around
55:09In case they didn't notice
55:10Here's a reminder
55:12Here I am
55:12Remember Bill Russell
55:14The great great
55:14Bill Russell
55:15Shot blocker
55:16He used to say
55:17I don't know
