And. I didnt know how to. Figure out is he trying to spin it well were talking to Nancy Lieberman was fair i wasnt a good athlete but i was fascinated by it and i loved those cats that you never heard about tommy washington going up and snatching courters off the top of the back porch i think its all about maybe billy helicopter hence he was a bad man the hot yes and obviously lou it power memorial i always thought it was great that when lou went to u. C. L. A. That see were talking to the well as ive said arguably the greatest female basket player of all time when the when he went out there i thought it was so beautiful for kareem that the 1st year he was in college that dunk was outlawed so he couldnt done can he develop that sky hook which to this day is the most devastating weapon in the history of basketball and nobody has ever sounded shot that nobody has been able to duplicate you know even magic if you remember magic like that the little baby book nobody had that true and some good for now hes going types and. Yes amazing is amazing got. Unblocking. Hey listen whos really into did not nancy when you watch the the you know boast both legs men women whose game do you dig right now in lets take the men 1st current player playing in the n. B. A.

But he simply is that. You have to give the ronaldinho going to space on route not rush are because what hes done 17 years i have tremendous respect for young and change the. And i quite see those guys every day and we are missing well theyre going on the womens side over there i guess it all takes place through you cause. It to me is what gina has done in just helping his kids you know her interests your truancy and their careers are going to be quality immersed they have been absolutely stalwarts of the game im really proud of them if you look at pretty crime are you look at the arena della done and you know despondent chapmans him when he and m. V. P. Ses when she was injured she says shes such a great grinder if you dont read you see supreme and asked you know the kid out of work and it was a number one guessed she was the one we just broke the record incidentally record 2000 nines a 1000 pounds that was insist no guy did that you know oh and exist shes one of my point guard of the year award 3 times and i didnt do you want to take my name up the trophy and put yours on it and he does that.

Her 69 baby coming back oh well see how he balls and as i said i think this is important to say because as i watch the jordan thing its reaffirmed in my head theres a lot of great ball players but when i watch him i then wow somebody hes always got to plant the flag and to me hes the greatest basketball player of all time and lets face facts folks were built differently Nancy Lieberman to me the greatest female basketball player who ever played the game well talk more with her after the break on Dennis Miller plus one.

And that im just trying and im just trying to do my fair share you know nancy i knew that you know he struck you the 10 i read that anecdote he made a dent on you as youre watching him and i knew you knew each other as adults i did not know it appears to have turned into a close just shy of familiar mentor mentee rethink over the course of for 40 years my god tell me more about levy and how he made it such an impact on your life well ok so because of ali before i knew young back in the early seventys i told you that story that i tried to read as much as i can about humans and he just influenced me and inspired me you know in my teens and let you know there were somebody nancy at home and in the seventys nancy. Your high school and say you cant do this and so. I just felt like i can do anything because of hearing you know and my mind in a greatest of all time and oprah had her or i had my i had this year i had to say it yes sir every day i would say im going to be on that. Every day i would see if i would see it and then when it happened to 76 that was in high school and you know i was 18 and cheaper and how can this be so then i get a scholarship and i wouldnt you know i would not be on this. It was it him or whatever worked on it to. Go on your show if ali didnt inspire me because i end up getting a scholarship i go to old dominion and i you know youre not youre never when youre and they were right we went you can only go like 120. 4 years its. Just so that means your age to that wasnt getting that from anybody else so going into my senior year i get asked a lot of the Olympic Committee come back to new york to fund raiser at the Stock Exchange and im going up the escalator with my mom and my best friend barbara and i asked the guy as its other. And he goes oh it wont in that regard right now sensitive to see other at the he goes oh its mohammed ali and like this is december of 79. 00 s. When i walk in the room and i couldnt breathe em out of the butter goes up to ali and puts her arm around his neck and ghost is the mom is how i am we need men. And my work is not the fault of the. Lady theres only one great is its me and 7 is the market i know youre good but my drive is bigger so he had a assures you know. And i look at here and im like wedding and my heart is pounding and he goes mom says youre good no mr mommy you know im the greatest the bar tab. On how he goes there is true cause i go yeah and i get people to all the time i want to ask is that getting as a but they annoyed me i think because he cant. See you do what he does i get paid. So he knew that out this fall crap in yuans fragile had broke and saw something and he goes dont ever be a day that im not in your lives and asked me your mama dolly she does that he looks at me tennis and he goes got me too special and i go you know got to know that some nice. Sorry no reveals why and how. Should i meet him a system her soul literally not nancy can you believe the way like ill take you its unbelievable. That you were a little angry as a child and then you seem like such a woman and for as i read about you as i meet you here wonder the did when did it start to fall away the they hanker and when did you realize that youd been given. A really cool life did he help you drop away some of the time tell me tell me how you came to be a little as a. You know the one thing that ill say that im a hommage is you know we stayed in touch with the even when i was in college any decision that had to me like even when i was in one 1008. 00 the 1st one was probably i contract about analogy but i get asked to play for the lakers in their Summer League so my coach is at riley and i would go on an added chance i got to bust and you know that gag with the logo jersey less i dont really like him because you get that shot against the knicks cannot work and muhammad would go ok lets get back to the christian i go pick up your place. And so she says oh as if you want me to just go play for pat riley says it so he gave me some needed throughout my career whether i was going to play in the w n b a its really not and you have to do that i but i didnt have my prime ok so well you know when i played in the derby and be a 50. So he was always that positive effect on me and i think he just made me realize you know that ive been so blessed because in a perfect were all im not supposed to be here or what i know now at 61 i mean exactly where im supposed to be today i am supposed to be on this show with you im supposed to be jointed things in my career in the n. B. A. Coaching working preist you i mean exactly where im supposed to be and im supposed to be that youre her not a taker so i sometimes get comfortable hive a little later. And im not the star and im not that person that was in me and everybody i wake up happy because i feel like i have a chance to spy it could be sharon stone it could be oh dear eck i want using those 2 gals as friends of mine how the heck do i know them and i dont want to mohammed ali.
