On the Manchild Show with Boy Green:
they do a weekly "Brunch with Bud" conversation with Bud Poliquin, who used to co-host with Jim Lersh, (the 'Manchild'). Today Bud was expounding on the chances the Boeheims had in the NBA and stated that neither of them has any skills, (including shooting) that the NBA would be interested in and got cotnracts from the Pistons only because of the Boeheim connection. He said that he's been wrong before, (he thought Greg Kelser was the best NBA prospect on the Magic Johnson Michigan State team and Larry Bird's skills wouldn't translate to the NBA), but lauded himself for predicting that Rony Seikaly, (when he was a freshman) would eventually be a lottery pick and that the Pearl would be a bust in the NBA and Jim Boeheim told him he was crazy, predicting that the Pearl would be Rookie of the Year in the NBA.
Jim Boeheim alleges that he never pays attention to talk radio, but he was listening and called in to the show: "I don't mind opinions, but I can't stand false statements". he said that Buddy and Jimmy had multiple offers and they chose Detroit, largely because their G-League team is in the same town, and they can use the same work-out facilities. he said that Buddy had set records for two teams with the most three pointers made in a workout and that people were telling him that their interviews with the teams were as good as they'd ever had. he agreed that it's hard to make the NBA from the G league or the summer league but gave some examples, including Gary Payton's kid and Robertson of Miami. He didn't remember saying Seikaly couldn't be a lottery pick and bemoaned that Pearl "wasn't in the right situation for him". he said that if eh and Bud have disagreed 100 times over the years, Bud has been right about once.
It started out combative but wound up with laughter and self-depreciating humor on both sides. I suspect they will be putting it up on a podcast before the day's out.
Oh, and Jim said that when he retires he might do a show with Bud "that would blow you guys off the air". Bud asked when that would be: "Ten years from now?" I would tune in to the Jim and Bud show. (It wouldn't be the Bud and Jim show.)
