The Jeremy land of the New York -- is out he's engines out for up to six weeks -- to have surgery to repair torn meniscus in his.
His left -- the doctors say that timetable possibly could be short once they're able to operate see the extent of the damage but here's the real story -- while.
What we're talking we're we're talking about this morning the daily news here -- New York is reporting the knicks held out I'm revealing the entry.
Until after march 28 the deadline for season ticket holders to purchase playoff tickets sure it's just a coincidence right.
We have more basketball now from -- sanity to march -- this tonight NCAA championship game.
Kansas and Kentucky the former Kentucky great areas Jamal Mashburn joins us once again.
He's in Miami today and Al Jamal wants to be a team owner one day if you're an -- -- you pull stuff like that lets see you know -- star gets hurt you don't tell anybody if it's true.
You know I can see where Madison Square Garden the knicks one of withhold information obviously to sell more tickets but also -- look at the flip side of that you the fans really have to trust you in understanding direction that you're going and growth -- Jeremy -- is heard -- you know he's gonna be out for some time for just reveal information so.
You know I would probably reveal that the fans and I still think there will come out they still have a competitive team up they were -- -- lead the way.
We bring you on a lot because your business guide you've car dealerships and as I said a moment ago you've expressed -- And in an interest in being an older one day of an NBA teams of before asked about the college game tonight -- alma mater and everything else.
-- did see some reports that maybe you'd be in on a group that would -- the hornets is.
Is that true or or now.
Yeah I was I mean it was over three weeks ago I withdrew the bid and obviously it was a lot of things going on there are among the confidentiality agreement -- The asking price was just a little bit two -- -- -- my faith at this particular point so you know with the MBA in a hornet's well I think there remain in.
Conference and or doing something right now negotiated with two other bidders so.
You know it's going to be a phenomenal situation then nothing new loans is on its way back as far as the -- concern in basketball as well so.
We'll see what happens but hopefully one day I'll -- much as to have the -- of NBA thing.
Not that happens a lot of people try to -- -- get one or two and and you don't get them and then all of -- -- it is so.
We're rooting for you just because we wanted to know it's been its owners of sports teams -- -- possible makes the seem cooler on and off that video Yang executive.
Are you getting tickets as well look at the data are now we can't accept -- and applicable let me let us let me ask you about the game.
Tonight I am not gonna out do you think Kentucky's you know -- and then dobbs.
You picked -- I think Iran with -- taken before the tournament you -- there your big star there headed there -- New Orleans time doesn't start to 20 after 9 -- to be looking -- that the key tonight for Anthony Davis and you're wildcats.
Well I think the main thing is that they have to play on selflessly which is something they've done drop the course of the season John column part of -- -- would -- University can (%expletive) you while -- has been a great job of of corralled those guys that really.
Buy -- to the big picture of winning the big game and winning championship game rather than.
Going out there for individuals that some thinking about the pros next year or so right it in my opinion look for if university Kentucky is -- and up and down the -- -- a lot of points.
State after -- -- they have over forty points they have a great chance to win the game in -- the game is in the thirties is the better chance for Kansas they play have to play at a much slower temple they can't running up up and down with the university Kentucky but.
University came at Kansas they have their own.
Player of the year in and Robinson down low -- mean I think he can play extremely well so just watch something to be a competitive game but I think university Kentucky.
We'll definitely.
Hold appropriate and in and I.
There's Thomas Robinson let me ask you one more question.
Bob you mentioned Coach cal Perry and preparing to team to win but the same time a lot of those guys and Anthony Davis is in the only one.
Preparing probably get to the NBA draft of the a lot of one and dozens of Kentucky in recent years become big stars in the -- in the NBA job wall and -- let me.
Do you think and this statement a lot of people dismissed it -- just absolutely idiotic but Gary Williams that.
Cannot sit on the radio like -- was last week that this Kentucky team all these NBA players can go out beaded NBA team I believe you mentioned the Washington -- most people said no chance.
What do you think there.
I don't I think they're wrong and that I mean it if you look at university Kentucky you look at the college games those Gaza lot -- of the game is forty minutes in the pros and 48 -- -- -- -- different.
Different type of basketball little bit more physical.
I don't think the worst team -- MBA.
Will lose -- -- college theme at all I mean Anthony Davis who -- consensus number one overall pick.
I still think he'll have an impact in the pros but it won't be a dramatic impact until second and third year.
Obviously if the gain weight and understand -- the speed of the game so things change once you get to that level of when you have money involved and when you have guys who played ten years.
78 years.
They have a lot of -- know how.
That gives them the right would say that in the schedule -- not just talking about one game if you put a college kids the new course of 82 games that schedule.
It's pretty difficult but even in one game with the -- detectives for five NBA for Harris the other team would have.
Also over third did because there and -- to the Jamal thank -- but.
