00:00Keon Anthony is going to return back to play for Syracuse here, and of course, as you know,
00:03the 6'5 freshman is the son of Syracuse legend Carmelo Anthony, who's teammates with McNamara
00:08on the 0-3 championship team. But you always hope that your son probably is better than you,
00:14but it's not a shame to be like, hey, I'm not as good as my dad. He's Carmelo Anthony.
00:19That is a tough pill to swallow when you go to a university there with the expectations that high
00:24and you have to live up to a Hall of Fame, maybe one of the best players to ever play
00:27basketball,
00:28and that's your dad at this point. If that was you, Joe, would you send your kid to Syracuse
00:32and be like, hey, you know what? Blaze your own path somewhere else and have those expectations
00:35that you just got to do as well as you want to because he's always going to be held to.
00:39Man, you're not anywhere near as good as your dad.
00:43Well, yeah, I mean, if I want the kid to get, you know, every break known to mankind
00:48because daddy writes a check to the university every year and he's one of the biggest donors,
00:53then sure, but I'm with you, Donnie. It never, ever, ever works out.
00:58Where the kid is better than the old man. It's happened once in the history of sports
01:03that I can remember, Donnie, and that was Ken Griffey Jr. And listen, Ken Griffey Sr.
01:09was a Hall of Famer too, don't get me wrong, but Ken Griffey Jr. is the only father-son combo
01:13where the kid is actually better than a dad. It never works out in hoops ever that way here.
01:19It's just the way it is. And unfortunately, trying to get in your dad's footsteps
01:23at a university that he helped put on the map, I would try to transfer it, kid. Go someplace.
01:31Go to a mid-major. They're definitely going to be in the tournament now since there's 123 teams
01:36that actually make it into the bracket now.
