Craig Carton & Big Mac CHALLENGE Each Other to a Basketball Game!

**Craig Carton** (0:05)
So I got an interesting offer, Big Mac. Tell me you can make the executive decision on this one, okay? Friend of mine reached out to me and said when the NBA final starts, he wants to be our basketball guru, insider, expert, to break down the basketball aspect of what happens in the finals. I, of course, said I've got that covered, but let me run it by my partner.
So, first off, before I tell you the person's name, is that something you might have an interest in?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:38)
Sure.

**Craig Carton** (0:38)
Okay, there you go.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:39)
Why would I not have an interest in it? Depending on who it is, sure.

**Craig Carton** (0:42)
I mean, I'm sitting right here. But okay, let's say you wanted someone who played basketball to give us basketball insight. Like, hey, that was a bad job on defense, my count on that play, whatever it might be, right?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:53)
Okay, exclusively now just for the NBA finals.

**Craig Carton** (0:55)
He would be just for the NBA finals.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:58)
I mean, this could have been an idea.

**Craig Carton** (1:00)
No, he texted me yesterday.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:02)
Okay.

**Craig Carton** (1:02)
And I just forgot to bring it up yesterday. And I said, sounds like a good idea.
What?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:08)
Weeks ago when we had, you know, the entire playoff run.

**Craig Carton** (1:11)
There was another way to break down with the Knicks against the Cavs or Sixers. We beat them into submission.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:16)
There's not going to be much to talk about with this series.

**Craig Carton** (1:17)
I think the Knicks are going to win the NBA Finals, but I think it's going to be a little tougher than the last two series were.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:22)
Who is offering their services?

**Craig Carton** (1:23)
So I'm going to give you multiple choice.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:25)
Okay.

**Craig Carton** (1:25)
And you tell me of these guys. And then I'll reveal at the end which one of them reach out.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:32)
The next day after every game?

**Craig Carton** (1:33)
After every game, this person wants to come on and break down from like an expert standpoint, this is what went right, this is what went wrong, this is the fix for game two and on and on.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:45)
Okay?

**Craig Carton** (1:47)
So it's either A, Kenny Anderson.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:50)
It's your guy.

**Craig Carton** (1:51)
My guy, New York legend, Georgia Tech, the Nets, the whole thing. Okay?
B, Doug Gottlieb, college coach, one of the biggest turnarounds here once, year two. How did I, what's that, Green Bay, Wisconsin, I think he's at, right? College basketball, all time assist leader, Oklahoma State, history.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:10)
Sure.

**Craig Carton** (2:11)
All right. Fox Sports Radio guy?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:13)
Yeah. All right.

**Craig Carton** (2:14)
Number three, Bernard King.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:18)
That'd be a great...

**Craig Carton** (2:18)
Legendary Nick, of course.
Of course. Number four, Danny Hurley, head coach, UConn. Yeah. Of those guys, all right, which of those guys, and how would you prioritize those guys to be a guest with us after every Nick Spurs final?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:36)
Well, which one, do you want my answer on who I guest texted you, or do you want me to prioritize?

**Craig Carton** (2:42)
Well, I want you to prioritize first. Like in what order?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:45)
Of most likelihood. I feel very confident in the answer.

**Craig Carton** (2:49)
In what order would you put those guys, that'd be good for the show to have on as a guest?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:52)
Some good for the show.

**Craig Carton** (2:53)
Yeah, like if you got to pick and you're the executive of the world, what order would you rank those guys?
Go ahead. Who would be first on your list?

**Chris McMonigle** (3:03)
I think Danny Hurley might be first on the list.

**Craig Carton** (3:05)
Danny Hurley? Okay.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:06)
Because I just think his basketball mind, you call him currently the best basketball coach in the world.

**Craig Carton** (3:10)
I think he's the best basketball coach alive in the world today.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:13)
He's obviously coach in Connecticut.
He's a local ties. I would say Danny Hurley would be number one.

**Craig Carton** (3:18)
Love it. Number two?

**Chris McMonigle** (3:21)
I think Bernard King.

**Craig Carton** (3:22)
BK.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:23)
Just for the...

**Craig Carton** (3:24)
Goes to every game, silly up on what you're doing.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:26)
You got a chance to talk to him. That would be fun.
