Rookie? Yeah, I had to Google that. We'll average 37 points and 27 rebounds as a rookie, Joe. As a rookie? Yeah, that's the first thing popped up. You average 37-6 and 27 rebounds a game.

30:48Shannon Sharpe:See, they can't give us no footage, so it's hard for us to believe it. We just hit a number. Here's the thing. You saw Bam get 83. yeah see now everything you're moving forward joe yeah it happened

31:04Shannon Sharpe:listen when we talk about the average though yes that's like bro that is crazy joe that joe got like 150 50 point games you got to realize before 2015 he had more 60 point games than everybody else in the nba combined

31:25a young a young in 2000 in 2001 yes he beat jason giambi 252 here yeah silver slugger and the and the bad title and obviously for nfl they said gale sayers where he scored 22 touchdowns

31:45Shannon Sharpe:in his rookie season. What was that, 64 or 65? 65. And obviously, Wayne Gretzky rookie year. Highest scoring season in WHL before joining the NHL. Mm-hmm. I think Wes also won the MVP too in basketball. That's dope. I think Fred Lynn won the MVP in baseball as a rookie.

32:21Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, I'm still sticking up for Bam. No, I'm sticking up for Bam. I'm still sticking up for Bam. But I'm saying it's not because you just saw somebody score 83. Right. Yeah. 100 is not that far out of the realm of possibility. Because prior to the Colby hitting 83, the last time we saw somebody, what was that, 94, we saw David Robinson hit 71 when they force-fed him at the last game of the season. But now you see the 70s have happened. Luca got 73. Dave got 72. Book got 70. Donovan Mitchell got 71. You see these numbers start to happen. Kobe got 81 in what? What was that? 0-6? And now, bam, 20 years later, get 83.

33:05Shannon Sharpe:So it's not out of the realm of possibility. Look, it happened. I'm glad I was alive to see it. Yeah. It's just them first four to five guys that you named, they are known as scores. Yes, and that's what's so hard about Bam. Book is a scorer. Kobe is a scorer. Mitch is a scorer. Luka is a scorer. Wilt was a scorer. And so you look at David Thompson, guys like that, but you're like, Bam. Bro, Bam averaged 19 points a game. How you go from 19 to 83? even even on a great Kobe was a scorer Jordan was a scorer so those guys getting because we saw Jordan average 30, Jordan average 30 like 7-8 times you see James Harden have 30 something games with at least 30 points so So, yeah, but bam.

34:13Shannon Sharpe:I mean, Ocho, it's like a guy, you know, he catches, he's high at 50, and all of a sudden he get 350. You're like, bro, you ain't never had 100 yards receiving the game. How you jump over 100 and 200, it goes straight to three. Yep, got a special game. Moments like that happen every so often. And plus it's the Wizards. so hell I mean they got me feeling I might go out there and get like 10

34:42Shannon Sharpe:Apollo Fox 1997 the big three what has been the best performance you guys have witnessed live in person no matter the sport oh in person oh shoot that's a good one I mean it wasn't it wasn't in person but got them Randy Moss Thanksgiving Day. Against the Cowboys? Against them Cowboys? Man, three for, what do we have with three for 163? And three TDs? Man, it's like a goddamn video game, man. Yeah, he was homing that day. Jolly. I'm trying to think in person though.

35:27Shannon Sharpe:I didn't really, I haven't really seen like a historic, historic performance. I don't know. I mean, I saw Aaron Rodgers' Super Bowl performance against the Steelers. He was dealing. I saw Serena beat Wozniacki, the Great Dane, in the semifinal of the U.S. Open. I'm saying you went to that? I did. I saw –

35:56Shannon Sharpe:Ooh, I'm trying to think.

36:01Shannon Sharpe:I saw game two Miami when they had lost remember they had lost game one to San Antonio and LeBron blocked Tiago Splitter I was at that game but that's probably it I haven't been to like any historic oh I was at the I was at the what was it 2000 All-Star game and I think if Sammy Sosa beat King Griffey Jr. in the home run derby, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah.

36:39Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, I can't think of really no special performance. But it would be nice to see somebody, you know, go for 300 in a football game on your own, throw for 500. Basketball, when you saw - You talking about a - Joel Embiid scored 70. You talking about you ain't saw no special performance. Okay, yeah, I was at that game. I was at the game, Joe. Oh, man. Yeah, and B's goal 70. It's dope, yeah. I like Randy Moss 3 for 163 and 3 TDs better, though. No, I wasn't. Look, I wasn't at that. I mean, I think we had played them a couple of weeks before when DT got those seven sacks. Yeah. I think we had played them a couple of weeks before.

37:26Shannon Sharpe:He missed eight in the, what you call him, through the game-winning touchdown. They play in Seattle. Okay. And Dave Craig. If I'm not mistaken, Dave Craig was the quarterback. That was my next question, too. Dave Craig. Who the quarterback was. J-Dub Akron, have y 'all seen that flinch at your mom's challenge? I sent it to Ash. Imagine us doing that back in the day. There is no pro careers for y 'all. These rich kids. Bro, look here, man. These kids, the way they be playing and trying to prank, man, I wouldn't even thought about pranking my grandma, my granddad. Man, them people, they don't play like that, man.

38:08Shannon Sharpe:Hey, listen, know your family, man. You see these kids on your show? Oh, shut up, mom. What? Yeah, nah. I don't even play like that. No sir. I don't even play like that with my mom now. I'm down to 58.

38:56Shannon Sharpe:Got you a hard worker, boy. Them dudes rare. Mm-hmm. When you get a superstar that's a hard worker, you get Tom Brady, you get Jordan, you get Colby, you get LeBron, you get Shane. That's what you get. Yeah. That's what you get, guys. Absolutely. you get great you get Jerry Rice yeah that's what you get

Sam LeGrand said, Seth Iso, what's your take on the narrative that Darius Acuff is the best guard Calipari has had in college?

47:03Shannon Sharpe:Well, the numbers don't lie. If you talk about college, it ain't close. Yeah, it ain't close from a scoring standpoint and from a playmaking assist standpoint. I mean, he blowing them all out the water. I just think in this era, due to college basketball being a professional sport now, Uncle Ocho, that's how Calipari, he's going to cater to his players. that's why guys love coming to play for him. You know what I mean? He's going to say all the right things. He's going to put you in great situations for you to be successful. And if you got your guard like Acuff who is bullheaded and can take the team by the horns, bro, and really take them somewhere, he'll give you the keys to it.

47:42Shannon Sharpe:You just got to make sure you know where you're going. You know what I mean? Hey, Collar probably got one simple goal. You might come here in your family in poverty, but when you leave here, they won't be. they won't be if you got some talent if you that boy if you him if you himity yeah that's who you want to go see bro cause you know you just want to be a pit stop you want college to be a pit stop to where you're really trying to go yeah as a matter of fact I ain't even trying to get four tires changed hey just put me like a couple of gallons of gas in I'm gone Hey, because see, if you change four times, that means I gotta stay a little bit longer.

48:26Shannon Sharpe:There you go. No.

48:31Shannon Sharpe:Clean the window, hey, hey. I just let me know how that guy to clean the window. Squeeze the window. Got that 40 gallon tank. I don't need no time. I don't need a. I don't need none of that. Rick Love, how much credit do you give marketing for creating Jordan's aura for GOAT. He wasn't NBA's first high flyer, but I can't recall any core pouring into an athlete like they did with Mike. He was the perfect storm. I mean, the Tones hanging out. I mean, he was flying. I mean, by that time, by the time he came along, now the game's because a bird in magic had gotten like, they were on TV regular.

49:19Shannon Sharpe:in the Nike. The robotics joke. Then you take that Nike took the gamble on him with the Air Jordan because everybody was with Converse at first, you know what I mean? And he took that gamble and went with Nike. It was a wrap from there. Everybody, for the most part. They had a couple of guys with, you know, Iceman with Nike and Moses Malone, but the big guns, Doc B.J. Converse, Lad Bird. was with Converse. Yeah, Magic. Magic Johnson was with Converse. Converse, yeah. If I'm not mistaken, I think Mark Aguirre was with Converse also. Kareem was with Adidas. He had top 10 Adidas. But there were guys that had Nike, but Nike wasn't Converse.

50:03Shannon Sharpe:The Chuck Taylors was the one, the weapons. Was the thing back then, yeah. There were guys that had Nike. Don't get me wrong, but Nike wasn't, Nike wasn't what it is. I mean, it wasn't, oh, we got to have. He was the first guy. that shoe that people waited in line to get. That's what it was. And when that happened, and then he had a couple. Normally you got a white shoe, you got a black shoe, you got a blue shoe. But they came out with a three colorway. I think it was red, black, and white. And then you got the red and the black. And then they said, man, Nike paying five, every time Jordan wear those shoes, they got to pay$5 ,000.

50:42Shannon Sharpe:What, and he wearing them every game? Yep. yeah they was hoping to sell three million dollars they sold three million dollars in the weekend

50:56it was all she wrote it was over now they can't they they can't stop all they do is recycle they all they do all they do is recycle the same shoe yep and over and over and it's always alive and when he came out with that one he did this

51:11Shannon Sharpe:and they put that logo and they put it on a poster, it was over. Yeah. It was over. It was over. I mean, he was charismatic. He was charismatic. He had a smile. You know, Magic, you know, guys back, you know, back, he seemed personable. People seemed like he liked his personality. Magic had to smile a million watts wide. Jordan had to smile. He had the bald head. He made bald head being cool. In the early 80s, dark skin wasn't cool. You need to be like Chico DeBarge. You need to be like Elja Barge. You need to be light-skinned. DeBarge, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Hey, hey. He dark. And he was always dressed as president.

51:52Shannon Sharpe:Oh, my goodness. That joke always had a suit on. Always. Always. Always, bro. Hey, he's like, man, dark-skinned brother. I said, oh, it's over. Hey, because you know what, before that, you know, I was, you know, had my hands in the pocket, standing on the wall. Jory came in, I've been at the top of the charts since. You know what I'm saying? I've been at the top of the charts. 40 years, I've been at the top 100. Yes, sir.

52:24Shannon Sharpe:LeVar Billings, 318. What's good, Nightcap fam? I grew up watching the Indiana Pacers, but at the time, I didn't understand the game. So I'll ask now, how good was Jermaine O 'Neal? J-O would like that. J-O. J-O was great, bro. Like he probably, what was J.O. about four, five times all-star? Yeah, yeah. Came straight out of high school out of Old Square in South Carolina. Yeah, they was running the East at one point. Like he had a great run. J.O. had a great run. He came in super young too. Yeah, he was 17. He came in Portland first though, right? Yeah, he was in Portland playing with all them bigs.

53:01Shannon Sharpe:Rasheed Wallace, Brian Grant. He had some dogs over there. Sabonis I even think was even still playing. Yeah. Sam McGrann. Sam McGrann, 89. Add a non-option to the poll question.

1:00:44No one wants to think about HIV, but there are things that everyone can do to help prevent it. Things like PrEP. PrEP stands for pre-exposure prophylaxis, and it means routinely taking prescription medicine before you're exposed to HIV to help reduce your chances of getting it. PrEP can be about 99 % effective when taken as prescribed. It doesn't protect against other STIs, though, so be sure to use condoms and other healthy sex practices.
