Golden State Warriors have now lost seven of their last nine games. They're about to drop into the

three-seat. And when I'm flummoxed and when I'm confused and when I want basketball answers,

I always turn to one of the greatest players in the history of the game, one of the brightest minds

in basketball, the legend himself, Rick Berry. How you doing, sir? You're ready to do this?

Well, I'm ready. I don't know why you're reaching out to me for. If I had all the answers,

I'd be betting on games and winning a fortune. As I told everybody, I wouldn't bet a nickel on an

NBA basketball game. I've been there. I've seen it all over the years as a fan, as a broadcaster, and, you know, as a coach. I mean, you just don't know what. I said, always expect the unexpected in the NBA. And most teams, there's only been, I think, maybe one team, the one Bulls team and all that never went through a situation where they struggled for a few weeks or more. I mean, it's very difficult to maintain a

high level of performance for 80-something games. And the Warriors are obviously going through their

tough time right now. I mean, when you lose a key player, that's a big factor. You know,

Draymond, everybody knows is an important factor for the success of the Warriors. And, you know,

Clay missed a few games. So hopefully this be their their down moment of the season and they'll get over it and get back

to playing good ball going into the playoffs because it's not how you're playing now that matters

it's how you're playing come playoff time there you go and that's the Hall of Famer we'll delve

into that and so much more that was a record record standing cold open, and I love it.
