Rocky III

And skip everything in between.

But I would never skip Rocky 3 or 4.

Sure.

I did.

So when did you guys, when did you first leave? Your children alone to go to a dinner.

Like, just to go down the street and have a quick bite, and you run back, and you've got, like, Rocky III running.

So they're just sitting there.

I think we were at 12 and 9.

No, no.

He was the guy who painted in Rocky III, too.

Leroy Neiman.

Mike Brito.

Hey, we lost the screen.

Rocky statue came out in 80, which is between Rocky II and Rocky III.

Aha.

Oh, so...

And so that means it was in Rocky III.

And what movie is it in? Or does it make a...

Or is it in Rocky II? But why would they make a statue of him after Rocky I? In the movie, in the story, in the fictional world of Rocky, they wouldn't make a statue for him for losing to Apollo 3.

It's definitely up there.

But Rocky III, that's definitely my favorite Rocky.

Clubber Lang, Mr. T, Thunder Lips, Hulk Hogan.

He had everything he had.

But, yeah.

Yeah.

BBC, what do you have any thoughts on Rocky III?

Well, I saw it when it originally came out.

Oh, Sunday.

I watched Rocky 1, Rocky 2, Rocky 3 and Rocky 4 back to back.

Wow.

Can I ask you what inspired you? Is this because you want to watch that other Rocky film?

Trent Perry, Eric Daly, Xavier Booker.

Mick Cronin has kind of, in a lot of ways, like Sylvester Stallone in Rocky III when he was being trained by Apollo Creed, Mick Cronin has went back to the beginning.

And the look that I see right now of this UCLA team in the preseason is much more like Mick Cronin's early teams at UCLA and Mick Cronin's teams at Cincinnati when he went to nine straight NCAA tournaments from 2011 to 2019.

This is a defensive-minded team.

I guess if I had to pick another one then, maybe one of the other Rockies, I could say, like the Rocky sequel.

Rocky III would probably be the first one that comes to mind, just because there's not many more Philly sports movies.

I know it's not the longest list in the world, guys, but me and KJ were thinking about it, and we were talking about Let's also talk about some of the great spots.

I mean, you've got a pretty good team.
