Speaker 3: Let's go back to the bubble. Let's get Let's get

39
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 3: right back to the bubble man.

40
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 2: And obviously, you know, you think, obviously you've been in

41
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: the heat culture for you know, a period of time,

42
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: and it's always like, what's the secret to the success

43
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: and how does it work? Because when the people look

44
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: at the rosters and they don't see the talent that

45
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: they would expect us to have to have the success

46
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: that we have, they say the math and Mathew, just

47
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: go back to the bubble man, and just go back

48
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: to how close knit we are, how much time we

49
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: spend together, and how different that is because you've been

50
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: in a couple of situations. Obviously, you were drafted by

51
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: the Spurs, got traded to Phoenix, then you end up

52
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: in Houston, then you end up with us, and then

53
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: you know, I think it was Toronto after that.

54
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, we was already out.

55
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,040

56
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: special about being with the Heat and just go back

57
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: to that with.

58
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: The d What was special to me? It was like

59
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: being really close as a team. You know, we always

60
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,560

64
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: and in the bubble. You know, we what I think

65
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,440

Speaker 1: we play against Indy. Yes, so first game, second game,

99
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: I was okay, and then I start to feel my heel.

100
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: I thought there was a Bruce Hill. So I had

101
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: a pain in my in my heel. Every morning that

102
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: I woke up, I was like, oh my god, what

103
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: is this? And then you know, they told me that

104
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: it's just a bruce. But then every game was worse

105
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: and worse. I can feel like, you know, like something

106
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: is happening, so but I didn't know what. And on

107
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: the end, you know, Brandon, they knew that I was

108
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: a plant of aascieties and then it was just it

109
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,680

110
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: he's like ten or fifteen percent of chance that he's

111
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: gonna snap. So I said, okay, I'm good with that.

112
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: You know, it's like I got a seventy five percent.

113
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: That's I'm gonna you know, I'm tough, I'm gonna I'm

114
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: gonna go through it. And yeah, I was on the pills.

115
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,120

Speaker 5: I wasn't here the fourth year.

121
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 4: But it was like the running joke in Miami was

122
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 4: like before the game, there'd be like four or five

123
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 4: guys and they're getting ready to take a shot.

124
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, he stays on the pails. That's what I thought about.

00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: And I'm talking ship. Killer was in the dunk contest.

Speaker 4: Hey, so talk about growing up playing basketball the difference,

165
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 4: like right now, European basketball is really you know, pressing

166
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 4: what we're what what American basketball is, right you see

167
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 4: every draft you're starting to see it. You came you

168
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 4: came in before that was like the norm. Talk about

169
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 4: growing up playing basketball over there and what you think

170
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 4: the differences because you live here now with differences between

171
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 4: that and and and americanized.

172
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: Basketball and not just European Slovenia. You know about steak

175
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 2: places I've been.

176
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, I invited to come to Slovenia. He's like,

177
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: do you guys have cars over there? You still got horses?

178
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 3: Also, they got weeding?

179
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: They do.

180
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: I ain't going if they ain't got no weed. That's

181
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: not a vacation for me. That's too stressful. I stay here,

182
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 2: so talk about it real.

183
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, if I go back, you know, it's a way

184
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: different environment because we don't have like colleges for basketball.

185
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: You go straight to the club.

186
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 5: So you know the club that he used to go to. No, no, no,

187
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 5: the titty club.

188
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm a basketball club.

189
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, they definitely got pick nipples in that cli pick

190
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 2: nipples and pasty.

191
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: It's way different because you know, when I was fourteen, fifteen,

192
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: I was already playing with the grown man, fucking pro

193
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: you know, with Luca's dad. For example, here.

194
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 5: Was Lucas dad was your freaking mentor.

195
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: He was a captain of our team and nice player.

196
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: He was nice, not nice like Luca, but his same size,

197
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: same same shot, no handles though, but yeah, he was nice.

198
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: And then you know, when you're fifteen, sixteen years old,

199
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: you go with those guys to travel around to different

200
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: countries playing.

201
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 5: So mom and dad just lets you go hang out

Speaker 1: Year old, thirty year old man, I mean it was

Speaker 2: But you know, sure waiting and joyce spelled Slovenian joyce

209
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: about I had a fucking money, fifteen year old.

210
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: I know, but you know we got a coupons for

211
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: the meals to free food. That that was the number

212
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: one for me, you know, food food. But yeah, you know,

213
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: you you're hanging out with the adults. You know, you

214
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: come to the locker room. They're badass, naked, smoking cigars

215
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: and cigarettes. You know, you're like, what, you're fourteen fourteen,

216
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: you know, so it's fourteen. But they did they did

217
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: take care of us. You know, every time when you

218
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: go on the road trip or something, they would we

219
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: would go out with them to the clubs. At fourteen

220
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: years old. They would take care of us. You know, Oh,

221
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: he's with us, sounds like me, no, yeah, yeah, that's

222
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: how are you? And you know when you when you're

223
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: fourteen fifteen and you're playing against those guys, you have

224
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: to be tough because they're stronger, they you know, faster.

225
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: But that's how that's how I learned to be tough

226
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: because I lost my tooth, I broke three times, my nose,

227
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 1: you know, got stitches, and you know, that's just how

228
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: I grew up.

229
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 4: So you play, you start at fourteen, you're going through

230
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 4: all this you're talking about, so how old are you?

231
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 4: Then when you when you get drafted by San Antonio

232
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 4: and traded the Phoenix.

233
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: I was twenty. I was twenty.

234
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 5: I played six years over there like that.

235
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: Yes, I play. I play four years in Slovenia. Then

236
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: I signed with the Spain Taukaramica. So I moved to

237
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: Spain when I was eighteen by myself. At that team,

238
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: I played with Pablo Prigioni with Louis Scola school. Okay, yeah,

239
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: I mean Mirza Tlito, which was there, you know, the

240
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: shoot of Houston. Yeah, so yeah, So I played there

241
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: for one year and then I come back to Slovenia

242
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: because I signed with Union Olympia. We play EuroLeague. And

243
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: after that I got drafted The only workout that I

244
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: did for a team was a Phoenix Sans because I

245
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: had the same agent that Steve nashe did, Bill Duffy,

246
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: And that was the only team that I want to

247
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: go there because of Steve and and yeah, then I

248
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: got drafted and came to the state.

249
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 4: So talking about that though from fourteen to twenty obviously

250
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 4: as a life experience, most American kids don't see it.

251
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 5: Well, what do you credit though?

252
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 4: Like, what do you credit the like the bast like's

253
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 4: basketball keeps coming up and there's been arguments on a

254
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 4: bunch of podcasts everywhere. Yeah, like European basketball is getting there, right,

255
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 4: so we need to getting there, like all the stuff.

256
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 4: It's becoming like a global sport obviously more and more.

257
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 4: Like what do you credit that to?

258
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: Is that? Is that some of the stuff? Yeah, I do.

259
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: I credit this, and I credit because when you're young,

260
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: they teach you more as a system to know how

261
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: to play the system. Now they don't give so much

262
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: attention about dribbling about like athleticism, but it's more like

263
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: when you at the young age, they already put you

264
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: in the system. You need to know how to play

265
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 1: the system to play the right way and you know,

266
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: pick and roll, spacing, where to hit the guy, and

267
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: I think so that's the the most fundamental, especially for

268
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: those Europeans. And then when you come to the NBA,

269
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: that's a different story because you have to deal with

270
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: the letticism and everything else.

271
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 5: So was that the hardest adjustment was the speed at Lessison.

272
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: You know, for me, the hardest thing was not athleticism.

273
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: I always like to play fast, you know, up up

274
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: tempo game. But you know, I was not a good

275
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 1: shoot as when when I was young. So because in Europe,

276
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: I could get to the hoop and I could finish

277
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: over the guys easy. And then I came to the

278
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns. You know, first practice, Shag was under the basket,

279
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: so I would go, I would penetrate, and I thought,

280
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: you I'm gonna, you know, lay it up, you know,

281
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: blog blog, you know, like, okay, I need to change

282
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: the game. So then I had floor to mid range

283
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: when I come to the heat three point line, you know.

284
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: So that was the hardest thing just to you know,

285
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: to kind of a learned when to shoot, how to

286
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: shoot him.

287
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 3: We wouldn't letting them forget a shot out. We played him.

288
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: I was trapped, were trapped a ship out of go around.

289
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 2: He coming out that picking roll, trap his ass. You know,

290
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 2: if they're gonna make him get off that much, you

291
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 2: won't get in the paint the day jack.

292
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: You know. It was funny. It was funny because when

293
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: we played the Heat, Oh my god, I was like ship,

294
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: I already knew what they're gonna do, you know, And

295
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: uh I always called cib to the pick and roll.

296
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: You know, he was a little bit slower. As soon

297
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: as Og got in a ship, he's shrapped. You know,

298
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: my average against the team the lowest is against the Heat.

299
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 3: Really yeah, I didn't know that sixteen points.

300
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 2: That's everything low average, Get the fuck no, but he

301
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 2: poinses as low against us, God.

302
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: Everything was higher like but against against Miami he was

303
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: always because of Og.

304
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 2: Put two on the ball, Put two on the ball,

305
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 2: come out that pick and roll. Getting down here. We

306
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 2: can't do ship with go right, you know what I'm saying,

307
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 2: So we put want the ball every time. I could

308
00:15:01,680 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 2: wait the trappers as I couldn't dug the trap as.

309
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 4: So, going back to doctor, I'm intrigued by this too.

310
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 4: I'm intrigued because with something that we don't know anything

311
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 4: about you. You play with Luca's dad. So you said

312
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 4: before we got on the show that you saw Luca

313
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 4: at two years old.

314

315
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,960

316
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: you know, he would be at practices. His mom would

317
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: bring him or his dad. And then when he was older,

318
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: like eight seven, he would he would be a bow

319
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: boy or come watch the game. So here you can see.

320
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: You know, we were champion and Luca is right there.

321
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: You know, you know every picture is Luca in the

322
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: green jersey.

323
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 5: That's him, that's Luca.

324
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: That's Luca. Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, question, it's crazy. How

325
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: and even even back then when he would play, I

326
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: don't know he was he was ten eleven, and you

327
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: know he was so dominant him and then he would

328
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: score like forty fifty sixty points. It's crazy. So he

329
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: was he was already a hooper.

330
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 3: You know, he was all he's sucking him, he is

331
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 3: fucking him. Did you know? Did you know he was

332
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 3: gonna be that dude when he got over here? Did

333
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 3: you know? Yeah?

334
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: I know, you know when I know, I know twenty seventeen,

335
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: when we had a training camp for a national team

336
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: two months before your your basket and he was seventeen

337
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: and just watching him at practice, Oh my god. He

338
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: would make some passes that I don't even know how

339
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: he you know how he was doing that, and his

340
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: IQ was was so good at seventeen, He's like I

341
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: knew it. The only thing, the only thing I kind

342
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: of questioned a little bit was his speed and everything

343
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 1: for the NBA.

344
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 5: But you know now they having all speed him up

345
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 5: since he got in the league.

346
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody, No, nobody speeds him up.

347
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 5: Can he win? Because I love his game, but can

348
00:17:59,440 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 5: he win it?

349
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: I think so he can win. He just need to

350
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: change a little bit, maybe trust more his teammates. I'm

351
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: not saying because he do pass the ball, but just

352
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: get off the ball a little bit more. And because

353
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: but because of you know, if you have the balls

354
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 1: so much in your hands, you'll get tired. Yes, and

355
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: then it's a long season, and even in the playoffs,

356
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: you know, I think, so that's too much.

357
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 4: I'm very intrigued this year just go around with his

358
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 4: Dallas Mavericks team because Lucas always had fucking King Kong

359
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 4: balls like playoff basketball. He's been elite, right and obviously

360
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 4: being through playoff experiences like we have, like your Star

361
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 4: guys can win you three four games, which wins you

362
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 4: a series. They have two of those dudes, now they

363
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 4: can do it. It's gonna be interesting to see how

364
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 4: that plays out with Kyrie and him, because Kyrie can

365
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 4: go win your two games, looking at win your two games,

366
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 4: they can they can win you a serious So it's like,

367
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 4: now it's weird watching though. If you watch Dallas play,

368
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 4: and I know you guys are all watching it, like

369
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 4: they're really just running two at those guys all the

370
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 4: time and making other players beat them. It's gonna be

371
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 4: interesting to see how that plays out with PJ. Washington,

372
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 4: who's been playing great and it's been over there playing Yeah, yeah,

373
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 4: they've been playing so except donte X is playing. So

374
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 4: that team's gonna be interesting, man, because it's like those

375
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 4: two dudes are dudes now.

376
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: Dudes dudes, And you can see the difference from last year.

377
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: I think I feel like Luca is giving the bond

378
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: more to Kyrie. So and and then you're always post

379
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: said like Stars gonna win you two or three games,

380
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: but then one game you play, it's gonna be it's

381
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 1: gonna be open, and they're gonna have to make shots,

382
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: and they got to step the up.

383
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 4: What do you think about the current Heat team? Now

384
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 4: we're talking current basketball right now, what do you think

385
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 4: of the current Heat team?

386
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: I mean, you know with the hit is always they

387
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: always gonna play tough. I mean, you know, they always

388
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: they always in the mix. I really do you know.

389
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: I suppose he's a great coach, a lot of experience. Band.

390
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: He's already, y'all leader. You got Jimmy Tyler scout and

391
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: I just came back, you know, and then you have

392
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 1: our role players that that you know, didn't know what

393
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: they need to do. I think so cool. He's now

394
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: the voice in the locker room.

395
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 2: Probably love yeah, love preach leadership at all levels. Yeah,

396
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 2: somebody somebody gotta say something.

397
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 3: He's leadership at all levels. Somebody can say something.

398
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: But you need to go back just before the game,

399
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: like the thirty minutes before the toss up. You just

400
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 1: have a speech for them.

401
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 3: Every now and then.

402
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 2: I am I'm there in the morning for practices and

403
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 2: stuff like that. Sometimes I show up for the game,

404
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 2: but that's that's family time. Yeah, that's family time. My

405
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 2: kids got baseball and everything like that. But I do

406
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 2: have a question for you, because you ex playing the

407
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 2: history of your country. I didn't understand the history of

408
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 2: the split and everything. I'm just I went to school

409
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 2: for basketball, ladies and gentlemen. I did not go to

410
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 2: school for I did not go to school geography, but

411
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 2: what they call them out geography.

412
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did not go to school for that. I

413
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 3: might watch a little animal playing, but I don't pay.

414
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 2: So it's plain and split because you explained the history

415
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: of your country and I didn't understand you.

416
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: So the country before was Yugoslavia.

417
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 3: Yes, so did you.

418
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 2: Notice Yeah, oh, I guess, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead,

419
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 2: cook bad.

420
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,719
Speaker 1: So as Yugoslavia, you have what five or six countries.

421
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 1: So with Slovenia now it's Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro

422
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,959
Speaker 1: and Macedonia. Six countries and you know, and so the

423
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 1: war was when they was ninety one, we split. So

424
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: all these countries split and then uh, you know, back

425
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: in the day, imagine the national team you had Rajen Petrovich, Coage,

426
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: Dina Raja Vladvas. You know, even now, even now, if

427
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: it would still exist the same country, you would have

428
00:21:51,680 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: Luk Jokivich, Bogdanovich boy, and Bogan Maranovich know that would be.

429
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 3: Against you guys to watch. That'd be great, will be fun.

430
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, But me, I was, uh, you know, we have

431
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: a lot of pride in basketball, especially that region number

432
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: one sport is basketball.

433
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 5: So not in close soccer.

434
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 4: Second second, yeah, because you said you grew up playing

435
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 4: soccer for so I.

436
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: Grew up playing soccer until eleven. Then I had a

437
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: leg injury and I stopped playing. And one of my

438
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: best friends was playing basketball and he asked me if

439
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: I want to go and watch practice. So I went

440
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 1: to see that. I was sitting on the bleachers and

441
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: they had nine guys and coaches like you up there.

442
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: We need one more guy, Can you come down and play?

443
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, why not? And that's why I started

444
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: playing basketball.

445
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 5: All your kids at home and the dragon was born.

446
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 3: All your kids at home.

447
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 2: You heard this ship, just stay ready to say you

448
00:22:55,080 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 2: ain't got to get rid of mother literally just to practice.

449
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 2: And they needed extra to the league. And that is

450
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 2: one of the greatest players that ever come out this country.

451
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 2: And the Dragon was crazy because.

452
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 3: I'm not mistaken your country the smallest.

453
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 1: Now he's the smart people.

454
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 3: And now that's my whole country, the whole country.

455
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: So at one point we had eight NBA.

456
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 5: Players and out of two million people, so was.

457
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: Pretty much.

458
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 5: It was good to man, he.

459
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: Was so rashaw pretty much that was Ben. That was

460
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: me and uh Er Sloker. I don't know if you

461
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: guys know he played for Toronto one year and uh

462
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: that's crazy. Yeah, eight six, seven, six, seven, seventh players.

463
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 2: And that's why when you guys were able to win

464
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: in the Olympics and you became a champion, you were

465
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 2: the leader of that team. That's why it was so big. Yeah,

466
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 2: the country at that time. You just tap into how

467
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 2: that was for your country, how historically that was.

468
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: That was huge. That was huge because in the past

469
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: we had a lot of good players for the people.

470
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 5: For me too, what year was.

471
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: This, twenty seventeen seventeen. Yeah, I was with the Heat

472
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: And you know I play every So I played fifteen

473
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: years in NBA, so all probably out of fifteen fourteen years,

474
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 1: I always played for my national team. So no summers.

475
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna say explain that to people because

476
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 4: I like, as you go through it, they don't understand,

477
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 4: like you play a grouling NBA schedule. Yeah, and then

478
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 4: the national team is every summer, every summer.

479
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, and practice is not like it's not always.

480
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: Like two months. Yeah, you ain't getting no younger. Yeah, explain,

481
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: we ain't getting younger. But so let's say we finished

482
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: playoffs around but May and May or June. Then I

483
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: would get back home and I would take off like

484
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: two or three weeks, and then I'm back with the

485
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: national team. So then the national team is preparing for

486
00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: let's say for European Championship or for World Championship, or

487
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: you have qualification games for Olympics or something. So every

488
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,719
Speaker 1: summer we had something. And what was really good for

489
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: me because I was always in shape. You know, I

490
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: didn't take off like two months or three months. I

491
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: was always playing. And you know, the only bad thing

492
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: was probably you know that take a lot of tool

493
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: on my body down down the stretch of my career.

494
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: But it was fun.

495
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 5: Man. So twenty seventeen that Luca had to be young.

496
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: He was seventeen, yeah, but that was his first year

497
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: with the national team. So I took him under my wings.

498
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: He was he was in my room. I was his

499
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: you know, his mentor and everything, yes, og like yeah,

500
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 1: and because before this European Championship, I said that this

501
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: is my last competition for my country, so and then

502
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: we won't go medal.

503
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was crazy chance Atlanta's own playing.

504
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: But I do, I do believe, like in higher powers,

505
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: if I can say that. Because my grand my grandpa

506
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: passed away five days before Europeaying Championship, I already know

507
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: that he's gonna because he was in bad condition and

508
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: I remember I went to hospital to visit him and

509
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: he asked me what we have and I told him, yeah,

510
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,239
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play for national. He said, please win a

511
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: medal for for me. That's awesome. So I really believe,

512
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: like you know, when that happened, man, I I was

513
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: playing off my mind, you know, for him, and it

514
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: was crazy. But yeah, so that was the only gold

515
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: medal for our country in team sports. Gold medal.

516
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 3: That's dope. Yeah, that's dope.

517
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 5: Hard two million people.

518
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: You ain't gonna imagine you play against Trees, against Spain,

519
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: against Germany, against Serbia, against friends. You know those are

520
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: all good teams favorites. No, that would be like, okay,

521
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: let's say it's madness. I don't know the last team.

522
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, a small, small colleague.

523
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 3: Win tournament in Kentucky.

524
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So.

525
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 4: You talked about it a little bit about even Joker

526
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 4: like Nicole j can can form.

527
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 5: Can a foreign player be the face of the NBA?

528
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 5: Will it be? Will it be? Because it can be?

529
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: Can't be? But yeah, I need to. I believe you

530
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 1: need to have two things. You have to win. You

531
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: have to be m v P. But then you have

532
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: to be good for the marketing. And I don't know

533
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 1: if your has that.

534
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 5: Ye, like he's already got two of them.

535
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: You don't know. Definitely, yeah, yeah, but now the face

536
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: probably has to have everything.

537
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 5: And and and and let's be honest, Joker, don't give

538
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:53,479
Speaker 5: a ship about that.

539
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: You want that, you don't want. You don't want that,

540
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 1: you don't.

541
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 5: Want that wing.

542
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: Right courses.

543
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm mad at him sometimes, this beauty and simplicity killer. Yeah,

00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 2: just go ahead, come over here. This is a job

545
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 2: for me. I break my ass to the United States.

546
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 1: Do my job now.

547
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 4: If Luca wins, If Luca wins, yeah, I mean weby

548
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 4: obviously Wemby's coming in. But if Luca wins, I mean, gosh, damn,

549
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 4: he got all that.

550
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be honest with you.

551
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 2: The way they're playing the game of basketball right now,

552
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if anybody's playing better and right now

553
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 2: to finish out the season. Because you know, all we

554
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 2: all noticed about getting hot at the right time. You

555
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 2: get hot at the right time. You can run this

556
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 2: ship off. You can run the tape. They hot right now.

557
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: You're always saying that if you want to championship, you

558
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: need to have a defense too.

559
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 3: This is true. I think they got better.

560
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 5: Think that just does go away from him.

561
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 2: I think they got better during the trade deadline when

562
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 2: they got PJ. They got got for it because now

563
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 2: we also understand Jones. The Jones which is the NBA

564
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 2: game is fucking eighty fucking pick and rolls, ninety pick

565
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 2: and rolls a night. Now you got some guys that

566
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 2: can be switching with matchups on picking rolls and take

567
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 2: you out a lot of triggers. You can switch PJ

568
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 2: on the perimeter guy, you can switch Gaffrod on the

569
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 2: perimeter of the guy.

570
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 3: Those guys can switch.

571
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 2: So now you're taking away a lot of triggers defensively,

572
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 2: flattening out the defense, flattening out the offense, and then

573
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 2: just make guys take bullshit as shots, So I understand

574
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 2: what they did. Does the defensive philosophy kick in mentally

575
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 2: for those guys, I don't know. That's just something you

576
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 2: gotta work on every day to work those habits. But

577
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 2: I understand what they have with the five guys and

578
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 2: the trays that they made, and what they can do

579
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 2: to change their game defensively and wise. I do get that.

580
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 2: Now they got to buy in. That's a whole another thing.

581
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: But what's his stuff?

582
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 5: Man? Got who you got coming out of the West?

583
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: I mean Denver? Definitely Danver. I mean he's gonna be

584
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: that in Minnesota. Looks good. But the only thing that

585
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: they're young. You know, I don't know any playoffs, But

586
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: you don't think play in the playoffs. She's not h.

587
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I ain't gonna say he's gonna be playing

588
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 2: the whole playoffs depending on what some series might you

589
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 2: just like how we have for the Miami, you got

590
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 2: to understand in the playoffs, this matchup might not.

591
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 5: Be for you killer, So you think you think they

592
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 5: switch it up.

593
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 2: Depending on who they're playing. They also have a hell

594
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 2: of them. They have nas reed.

595
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 4: Because I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

596
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 4: if we've ever seen that. Though I've never seen I

597
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 4: don't think you've ever seen a guy who makes forty

598
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 4: five million dollars a year not playing the playoffs because

599
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 4: of matchup.

600
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 2: No, this won't be the first time. If I think,

601
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 2: if we look back, and there's been times where I'm

602
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 2: not saying you take him out of the lineup, but

603
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 2: he's only going to play limited minutes.

604
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 3: You gotta you gotta, you gotta monitor his minutes.

605
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 5: It doesn't happen. That doesn't have very often. It happens

606
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 5: with role players more than eh.

607
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 3: I don't know. I feel like I watched.

608
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 4: I mean, if he wins Defensive Player of the Year

609
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 4: and doesn't play in the playoffs, that'll be fucking shocking.

610
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 3: Listen, you want to win.

611
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 5: No, No, I understand the glasses are coming off, and

612
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 5: I get all that. I get all that.

613
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 4: Ship so, but I'm saying, if your defensive player of

614
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 4: the year does not play in a series, that's that

615
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 4: means he's not Defensive.

616
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 5: Player of the year.

617
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 2: I'll set in locker rooms on the other side, and

618
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 2: I understand, when you play against a guy who's as

619
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 2: dominant in the paint and you know, rem protecting just

620
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 2: like he is. How that can be a liability in

621
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 2: certain situations in the playoffs. Right now, we're playing a

622
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 2: game where guys are shooting threes one through five. I

623
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 2: don't don't we got a five man that really doesn't.

624
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 5: You have to understand that. I don't disagree with you.

625
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 4: What I'm saying is to me, it'll be interesting to

626
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 4: see if Finch goes into a playoff series and sits

627
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 4: a guy who's defensive.

628
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's not the right foot smart.

629
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 5: I understand that, no reason playing.

630
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 3: His rotation bag of chips Minnesota.

631
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 4: But but if you watch, if you watch Minnesota this year,

632
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 4: which I know you do, they play seven eight dudes,

633
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 4: and and and Rudy plays a ton of minutes.

634
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 3: For a big Okay, Cat's gonna be back.

635
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 5: No, no, I understand that.

636
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 4: But what I'm saying though, is like, so you're gonna

637
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 4: have to have some huge balls of your Finch now

638
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 4: to go in that series and say, Okay, I'm not

639
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 4: playing this, dude.

640
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 3: I'm not playing. But you don't just take them and

641
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 3: just throw the well.

642
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 4: If you if you're playing twelve minutes, that's not playing

643
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 4: them that's that means you're basically get him six in

644
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 4: the first and six.

645
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: Second he's gonna start complaining.

646
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 4: Here then yeah, I'm saying this. I'm not bro I'm

647
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 4: with you. I'm not saying you're wrong. That's gonna take.

648
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 4: It's gonna take. Like to me, that'd be a real

649
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 4: established coach. That's a It has to be an established

650
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 4: coach that believes in himself that can say I'm not

651
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 4: gonna play potentially a defensive Player of the Year in

652
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 4: this series, because if you lose that series, what about

653
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 4: the series?

654
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 2: And trust me, I'm being honest, if they lose the series,

655
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 2: ain't nobody gonna be saying because Rudy ain't play.

656
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 5: You don't think so?

657
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: Hell okay, see what about Okay?

658
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 5: See I love, Okay, see I love.

659
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 2: And once again, this is not saying that I don't

660
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 2: like what Rudy Gerber does, what he is and what

661
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 2: he does and what he is he is a yak at.

662
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 4: It the reality to gain what what you're saying has

663
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 4: a lot of merit to it. It's true, like there's

664
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 4: gonna be scenarios and matchups in this playoffs. That's why

665
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 4: I think it's interest it's gonna be interesting. It's like,

666
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 4: are you gonna change who you are? Like I used

667
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 4: to say it all the time, even with those Phoenix teams,

668
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 4: we used to change who we were. We played the

669
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 4: Phoenix Suns because they played Sean Mary and Marsalam at

670
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 4: the four and five, But that was it was crazy

671
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 4: to me. I always said it, like, so, you mean

672
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 4: to tell me that we're gonna play forty seven straight

673
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 4: games this way and then we go to play the

674
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 4: Phoenix Suns and we're gonna change it.

675
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 5: They're gonna beat this that way anyways.

676
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 2: I mean, we was able to do it when we

677
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 2: got in and then we switched certain matchups. When it

678
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 2: came to Indiana, it was like, okay, Shane, that's not

679
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 2: your matchup. This your d matchup series Before I didn't

680
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 2: play much.

681
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 5: That's not a to me. Those role situations a one

682
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 5: hundred percent different. I'm with you on that.

683
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 4: But you're talking about like it this could be potentially

684
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 4: defensive players the year. I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm

685
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 4: just saying it's gonna be interesting to see if he

686
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 4: shelves them. It would be very interesting to see.

687
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 3: You want to win.

688
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 5: I agree, that's the goal.

689
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna rude to go back, but I's thinking

690
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 2: everybody got to understand, like, this just might not.

691
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 5: Be a series, but you've had the number one defense series.

692
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 5: You had the number one.

693
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 4: Defensive in the in the league basically all year where

694
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 4: we just talked about defense wins championship. Anthony Edwards is

695
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 4: an absolute motherfucker. Yes, all right, Kat obviously can shoot

696
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 4: the cover off, the ball spreads the floor.

697
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 5: It's gonna be interesting. I think it's gonna be a

698
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 5: good storyline.

699
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 2: But what you got to understand is they had He's

700
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 2: won Defensive Player the year before in the past, and

701
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 2: they haven't had the number one defense. So I think

702
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 2: that them having a number one defense doesn't have to

703
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 2: do it. Rud to Gobert, it has to do it.

704
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 2: And and I think is the the he's infused into

705
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 2: that locker room and to those guys because they've had

706
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 2: him at defensive player the year before and they wasn't

707
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 2: tops in the league. They were dogship in defense. So

708
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 2: now you're tops in the league in defense and you

709
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 2: still got your Defensive Player of the Year. What has changed,

710
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 2: I think is the leadership.

711
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 5: I don't discrewe you. I just think it's gonna be interesting. So,

712
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 5: so who you got coming out of the West, because me.

713
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: And him does Daver Denver? And uh? I like, okay, see, okay,

714
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: see's young long. I mean Alexander is playing, I think

715
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: so he can be repetness. Yeah.

716
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 2: So for instance, great point. If you're playing Denver, Rudy's

717
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 2: in the lineup, he's starting, he's going to get thirty

718
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,439
Speaker 2: five to forty minutes. If you're playing okay, see and check,

719
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 2: he might not get as many minutes.

720
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 3: This might be a NOAs read matchup. So no, I

721
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 3: don't I don't discribe.

722
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 4: I know, I believe it. You guys we're talking the

723
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 4: same way. It's just gonna be interested to see if

724
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 4: he does it.

725
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 3: So why you ask rhetorical questions?

726
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 4: I want to I want to hear. I want to

727
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 4: hear you take you know where he don't. I don't

728
00:34:58,280 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 4: know if Finch Bill, I don't think Finch will take

729
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 4: him out the lineup.

730
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 3: I really don't you know. F it's like that, Yeah,

731
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 3: give me it's number I.

732
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 5: I'm just saying that you'll have a lot explained again.

733
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 3: I this is this is I'm just saying this is

734
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 3: how this game goes.

735
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 5: Now, Coach, I get it.

736
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 4: But it's like, okay, cool, you guys do that, right,

737
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 4: you guys play Okay, see it's chat. You go on

738
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 4: that Chet matchup and you make it switch and Nasried

739
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 4: who I really really like, and Check goes and has

740
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 4: unbelievable games. So you're now you just went and change

741
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 4: your defense for no reason. Then you change your whole

742
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 4: rotation for no reason.

743
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 2: Trust me, if you lose against Okay, see, it AIN'TNNA

744
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 2: because of Chick.

745
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 5: It could be for talking about matchups.

746
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, the stars are going

747
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 2: to do their jobs. You're just trying to do as

748
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 2: much damage control as possible about putting in a good system.

749
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 2: Like I say, don't fail the system. Let the system

750
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 2: fail you.

751
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 5: That that that goes to show.

752
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,479
Speaker 4: Then you're gonna you're you're basically changing your system because

753
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 4: you're taking Rudy out. Okay, what if you say this year,

754
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 4: but let me say this right, so you say that

755
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,879
Speaker 4: it's not gonna be Check that wins the series for you?

756
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 5: Why not run?

757
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 4: Why not runch s g A to Rudy Gobert every

758
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,399
Speaker 4: time you let chee then run s g a make

759
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:05,959
Speaker 4: force everything, funnel everything.

760
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,760
Speaker 5: SGA just fun to Rudy Gobert.

761
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 4: Rudy Like, I'll be honest, when I watched those two

762
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 4: guys play Rudy and and and call out the towns

763
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 4: and you add Jade McDaniels in there, their length is

764
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 4: a motherfucker. So if you think SGA is gonna win

765
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 4: your series, follow unto those length because once you take

766
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 4: that length out, I'm.

767
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 5: Just being Devil's Appa. I don't disagree with it.

768
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 3: You're saying every thirty plus you don't think people try

769
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,240
Speaker 3: to funnel him. Yeah, but I like his spots.

770
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 4: He's a motherfucker down get He's unbelievable. What I'm saying,

771
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 4: there's a different when it's when it's Rudy down there. Now.

772
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: You know, if if like when I when I played

773
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: against you, Rudy was, oh my god, I was like, yeah,

774
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: picking roll because you know I love playing drop cover

775
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: and this you know was was a Florida? Was a

776
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,839
Speaker 1: layup midre or was that up to Ben? Yeah? And

777
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: then in offense, he's not gonna give you lonely love yep.

778
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 1: But defense, yeah, defense only change.

779
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 2: I feel like in certain matchups you got to say, hey,

780
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 2: this might not be your series.

781
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 4: I don't disagree with you. I'm just like, I just

782
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 4: like to have the banterer with you. Like you find

783
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 4: out I get it.

784
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: Let's let's say, let's say put example, pulling me a

785
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: walkie versus versus Minnesota. Yeah it was Brook Lopez. Yeah

786
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: he's always outside on the pairs.

787
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 3: It's actually the spread is the spread guy? Yeah he's not.

788
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 2: Even They used Brook low Prez for the for the spacing.

789
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 5: So now it makes a valid it makes valid points.

790
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 5: It's great, it's great to see.

791
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 4: It's just I'm telling you, it's gonna be interesting to

792
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 4: see if you have a number one defense all year

793
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 4: if you change it.

794
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, number one defense in the season.

795
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 5: I don't.

796
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 3: It's two different things. You Okay, we gotta go, we

797
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 3: gotta It's been thirty years. It's the truth though.

798
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I get it. I get it.

799
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 2: I get and then and guess what, there's gonna be

800
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 2: some series where Rudy might win you that series. But

801
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 2: every series ain't gonna be a Rudy series.

802
00:37:58,200 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 6: You know.

803
00:37:58,800 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: I'm with you.

804
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 5: I just I just like to hear it. Uh, the

805
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 5: East you get out of the East.

806
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 1: East Boston looks good. Then, uh, I'm gonna taking Miami. Uh, Miami,

807
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: and uh, I don't know about Milwaukee's they two up

808
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 1: and down and changing of coach and Johnny's got hurt. Now.

809
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: I do like Dame that, yeah, Damis. What about New York.

810
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:30,919
Speaker 3: Right now?

811
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 5: I think I think Orlando beats some first round? How

812
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 5: about that?

813
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 2: I think Bruston. I think Brunton's I think Brunton is

814
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 2: really really good.

815
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 5: He's unbelievable.

816
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 3: I think he's really fucking good.

817
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 5: It's really good.

818
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: They.

819
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 3: I think they need Randall back.

820
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 5: Yeah he's he's done.

821
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 2: Yeah he's not. He's out for the season with the surgery.

822
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 2: I think they would need Randall back, But I'm kind

823
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 2: of with Mike. I think you can take that one.

824
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 2: I like what they've done defensively. Once again, we talked

825
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 2: about the game being fucking eighty fucking pick and rolls.

826
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 2: You have length, you have athleticism, you don't want need

827
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 2: one of the match ups when you run to pick

828
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 2: a roll. You know what I'm saying, All those guys

829
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 2: are gonna switch on to you. They gonna go out

830
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 2: they yard. So I love what Mosley is doing over there.

831
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 2: For me, it was just understanding their spacing and what

832
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 2: everybody's role is offensively and being consistent with that. But

833
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 2: as far as getting into a playoff series, I do

834
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 2: think they could get the Knicks.

835
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 4: I'll be honest, you to come down to it's gonna

836
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 4: come because I watched every Orlando Magic game. It's gonna

837
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,359
Speaker 4: come down to TIBs showing bodies and making shots for Orlando.

838
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 3: And if they can get o g back.

839
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 5: But but you know how this is gonna be.

840
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 4: Tim's gonna Tim is gonna cloud everything up. Orlando hasn't

841
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 4: shot a great all year. Make shots your young team

842
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 4: like that'd be. My biggest thing is they're gonna have

843
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 4: to find ways of the easy stuff for p for Polo, like,

844
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 4: you're gonna have to find ways to open it up

845
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 4: because he's gonna pass the shout of it. But if

846
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 4: it's always passing, we're not making threes, it's gonna be tough.

847
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 4: We got to make shots.

848
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 3: That Mac truck laying run wid Man Mack truck that

849
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,560

941
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I would say the playoffs. I remember which year,

942
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 1: But in Charlotte, when the guy was on the sideline

943
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: in the pink shirt, he was like yapping and the

00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 3: the whole time.

947
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: The whole every time he score, he would go back

948
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,280
Speaker 1: to him and like you.

949
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 2: You and the Way have a similarity. It's a similar,

950
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 2: similar character trait that I don't possess.

951
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: When they get mad.

952
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 3: They played better, I curse in my language, Yeah, but

953
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 3: you play better. It's my fuck got his tooth knock?

954
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 2: That was it?

955
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: Atlanta, Atlanta and the Detroit Detroit. When I got it,

956
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:52,399
Speaker 1: I throw the reft. You remember, That's when.

957
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 3: I said, I like this motherfucker. I was like this.

958
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: I was dribbling. I was dribbling and the guy hit

959
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 1: me with his elbow. I'm like, oh god, damn it.

960
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,720
Speaker 1: So I speed the two in my in my hand

961
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: and I showed her that motherfucker collar, fill and throw.

962
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 2: It was like a too fat around. That's what I

963
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 2: was like. I was like seven days a week and

964
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 2: twice on Sunday. I'm fucking with this. Mother fucking I'm

965
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:18,919
Speaker 2: fucking with this motherfucking kept playing. Nowadays, you lose a tooth,

966
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 2: you out seventeen months, you can cuss seventeen You.

967
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: Know what's a crazy thing. When I was playing with

968
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: the Sons, Steve Nash was a playoff and he got

969
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: hitting against San Antonio. He got hitting the nose and

970
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 1: the nose was like crooked, bro. He just did this

971
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: middle of the game. Is they didn't didn't even go

972
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 1: out or he just readjusted his nose by himself and

973
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: keep playing.

974
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 3: Nowadays, you got a mask.

975
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 4: That's perfect because the next question is what was it

976
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 4: like being mentioned by Steve Nash?

977
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 3: That was a great question.

978
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 5: Yeah see he said, but it's just.

979
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: It was great Steve. You know, he was all ish.

980
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: First the practice, I would sit next to him on

981
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: the plane, next to him in the locker room, and

982
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: he would just give me a great point, especially the

983
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:13,839
Speaker 1: pick and roll. You know that Steve Nash picking roll

984
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 1: and you look around the paint, keep the dribble. That

985
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: was one of the that kind of opened everything for

986
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: me when I was playing picking roll because I have

987
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,240
Speaker 1: one problem. When I came to the NBA, I played

988
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 1: picking roll and then I always killed the dribble and

989
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: then he was like, he would give me this like, no,

990
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:35,439
Speaker 1: just keep the dribble alive, go through the paint. And yeah,

991
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: that was that was huge and just you know, to

992
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 1: have them around is such a good guy who helped

993
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 1: me a lot. And you know twenty ten when we

994
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 1: play conference finals versus Lakers, that was I really thought

995
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 1: we were going to make the finals. But you know

996
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,919
Speaker 1: on the other side was Kobe Yeah, oh my god.

997
00:46:55,760 --> 00:47:00,800
Speaker 6: Else we would put literally four guys eyes on him

998
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 6: and he would he would not even pass the ball

999
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 6: because he know that the other team, you know, they

1000
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 6: would not make the shot.

1001
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 1: He would just shoot over the guys that make everything.

1002
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 1: Was unbelievadble.

1003
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 5: Next question, what was your welcome to the heat culture moment?

1004
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,280
Speaker 1: You know, I got traded during the middle of the season,

1005
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: and I don't remember really well that. You know. I

1006
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: didn't play well at the beginning. I was struggling, new system,

1007
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 1: new teammates. And I remember off season Pat, I mean

1008
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: after the season, Pat called me his office and I

1009
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: sit down and he looked dead into my eyes and

1010
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 1: he's like, son, you need to be better. We didn't

1011
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 1: pay you for this ship. I was like, yeah, bro,

1012
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 1: I'm serious. So I was like, goddamn, I just got it.

1013
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:00,399
Speaker 1: She was like, no, no, I want you to think

1014
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:04,240
Speaker 1: about this the whole summer, you know. And I literally

1015
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 1: had this in my in my mind every practice. So

1016
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 1: next year I came back. I was hoping, but and

1017
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 1: then what else the oh my god, I remember training

Speaker 3: That's what I thought. She was going to make.

1020
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 1: One mistake. You know what was my mistake? I didn't

00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 1: go through direct light. He would start yelling. So I'm

1082
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,040

Speaker 1: Show for the show.

1158
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,160

00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 1: Man.

1160
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:06,839

Speaker 4: us ate for free, whenever he came to.

1163
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 1: Hoot man when when he was a rookie Memphis, I

1164
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 1: mean he was.

1165
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 4: I had no idea when I got traded there how

1166
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:20,280
Speaker 4: good he was because he's still young and I got there.

1167
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 5: Like holy ship.

1168
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 3: You know.

1169
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 1: We we always every big tournament, the national team, we

1170
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:30,760
Speaker 1: would always have a Spain in our group and nobody

1171
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:33,239
Speaker 1: could go Power because we didn't have big guys. And

1172
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:36,799
Speaker 1: you know, he was just so so dominant and so

1173
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:38,320
Speaker 1: crafty and skilled.

1174
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:40,760
Speaker 3: He was so skilled, definitely skilled. It's crazy.

1175
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:45,920
Speaker 1: And that was But you know, I do believe the

1176
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: game changed a lot, especially you know those early guys

1177
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:58,720
Speaker 1: like Vladiva Paggle Ch Saboni's Yes, Tony cool because Dina Roger.

1178
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 1: You know, those guys just played the way for us now,

1179
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 1: because that was the hardest part for European or all

1180
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:08,879
Speaker 1: for international players to break in the NBA because if

1181
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 1: you're honest, you know, everybody thought Europeans are soft and

1182
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 1: then you at all no, but you know it's.

1183
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 3: They don't know better.

1184
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 1: Because you know, they were never physical, they were always killed.

1185
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 1: They all shoot, shoot or you know, and that thing

1186
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 1: changed and then you know, the next generation when I

1187
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 1: came Tony, I mean Tony older than me, but then

1188
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 1: was more and more Europeans. And now right now it's

1189
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 1: just crazy to see how how they're dominating the NBA.

1190
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 1: It's you know now that this young kids one when

1191
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 1: they when he's oh.

1192
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 3: My god, that motherfucker is going to be listen, hold.

1193
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:48,640

1196
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:55,919
Speaker 1: I mean it depends what you look, how you look

1197
00:57:56,040 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 1: you look to team me up right now trying to

Speaker 5: I mean it's your call, your you're the one doing it.

1201
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 5: What do you value?

1202
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 1: You know? It was crazy because last night I just

1203
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 1: saw the just saw the video. It was like they

1204
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 1: stole the ball and was three on one against MB

1205
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 1: and nobody, nobody want to shoot to stop playing. Yeah,

1206
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 1: stop playing.

1207
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 2: So I was like, so, I listen, let me tell

1208
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 2: you something. When it's all said and done, I ain't

1209
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 2: even say it's all set and done in the next

1210
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 2: couple of years. I'm expecting that average triple double with blocks. Wait, wait,

1211
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 2: that's this I'm not I'm not.

1212
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 5: Well, he's got a double double, for sure.

1213
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 2: So that's what I'm saying. He's going to get a

1214
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:46,920
Speaker 2: double double for sure. But they're gonna play through him

1215
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 2: so much. He has a great he has a good

1216
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 2: basketball IQ.

1217
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 4: It's going to be interesting how they continue to develop

1218
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,439
Speaker 4: him as far as minutes and stuff, though, I think

1219
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:00,120
Speaker 4: because for him to triple double, you have to a

1220
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 4: lot of minutes.

1221
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 5: Well, they don't shoot very well over there.

1222
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you run your offense through him, and you

1223
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 2: put him at the top of the key. You can run,

1224
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 2: he can pass. You pull a bigger way from you,

1225
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:09,920
Speaker 2: pull a big away from the basket, You work your

1226
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 2: back door cuts.

1227
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 3: They work all that reason.

1228
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 5: Logo is an alien.

1229
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you.

1230
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 2: Don't come out there, the motherfucker can shoot it. So

1231
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 2: now you pull a big away from the basket. I'm

1232
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 2: looking for him to be ship. I mean Rust did

1233
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,640
Speaker 2: it with with with with with assists. I'm looking for

1234
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 2: him to be a triple double guy at some point. Yes,

1235
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 2: he can do it with blocks, but I think.

1236
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 3: He also do it with no A triple double ain't no.

1237
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 1: Blocks.

1238
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's gonna do all four, but

1239
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 2: I know he can do three out of the four.

1240
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:40,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's gonna be blocks or assists.

1241
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:43,240

Speaker 2: offense is gonna be ran through him. The ball is

1246
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 2: gonna be in his handle lot, bringing him at the

1247
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 2: top of the key, running any elbow action, running in

1248
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 2: the action from the top of the key. That's gonna

1249
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:58,440
Speaker 2: pull the big away from the basket, working those back

1250
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:00,280
Speaker 2: door cuts, all that ship ball.

1251
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 3: The ball finds energy.

1252
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 2: Bro I'm thinking, if the game is played the right

1253
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 2: way and it's played through him, and if he really

1254
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 2: wants to focus on it, because the motherfucker donna sleep

1255
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 2: walking to a double, you can book the twenty eight teens.

1256
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 2: So now he starts to understand the game and starts

1257
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 2: to watch faim and starts to see how he can

1258
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:14,040
Speaker 2: make people better.

1259
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 3: Why can't he be a triple double?

1260
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 5: I don't disagree. I think he can, whether he does

1261
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 5: it or the walk.

1262
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:21,880
Speaker 1: You know what's a huge factor to that. Pop just

1263
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:23,200
Speaker 1: re signed him for five years.

1264
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 3: That's that's big, that's crazy.

1265
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 5: It's definitely gonna fun to watch the Pop.

1266
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, shout last all us like eyes outlast everybody like Ryes.

1267

01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 5: lot of fun.

1269
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 4: I learned a lot today. Hell yeah, and I apologize.

1270
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 4: You got to be teammates with him?

1271
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 3: Hold on, you ain't asking one question? One question on

1272
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:49,840
Speaker 3: that board? Who was his favorite teammate? Who was his

1273
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 3: best teammate?

1274
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 1: You know what's funny story? We play against Philly. Yeah,

1275
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 1: and Dwight Howard was playing and know it just cause

1276
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 1: og go in. He got a jack that the first minute.

1277
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 3: Okay, but tell them before I got ejected, I was

1278
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 3: four for four. I was cooking with no grit.

1279
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 1: I was on.

1280
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 2: Listen and when I got in the locker room, the

1281
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 2: first thing I said to myself is damn I fucked

1282
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:18,960
Speaker 2: up my big game. I don't even get a chance

1283
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 2: to play that much. I was, I was about to

1284
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 2: have a good one. I fucked it up. It goes

1285
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 2: back to what I tell It goes back to what

1286
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 2: I tell them. Though it was a situation where I

1287
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 2: went for a rebound, Dwight threw me down on the ground.

1288
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:31,920
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. I watched a lot of basketball.

1289
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:35,000
Speaker 2: I understood that that particular season, Dwight had led the

1290
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 2: league in those kind of files, offensive files, just throwing

1291
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 2: people down.

1292
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:39,200
Speaker 3: That's that muscle ship like we ain't doing it.

1293
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 2: So at the end of the day, it's like I

1294
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:44,040
Speaker 2: thought about it because I am playing well. I only

1295
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 2: been in the game for a little while. But then

1296
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:47,440
Speaker 2: I thought about what I tell my guys. I always

1297
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 2: tell my guys, don' let nobody fuck with you. Let

1298
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 2: everybody get away with shit, because you let them get

1299
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 2: away with it once, they're gonna keep fucking doing it.

1300
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:54,880
Speaker 2: And you better believe when they play you again, they

1301
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:56,919
Speaker 2: gonna remember that your ass was soft the last time.

1302
01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 2: That's and that becomes a reputation in the fucking league

1303
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 2: of being soft if you let people get away with ship.

1304
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:04,800
Speaker 3: So after I got up, I.

1305
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 2: Said, nah, I can't let this ship ride. I can't

1306
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 2: let this ship ride. And I just had to help

1307
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:11,960
Speaker 2: my bitness. And when I said something to the white

1308
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:13,480
Speaker 2: I said, man, what the fuck is you doing? I say,

1309
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 2: come on with that bullshit, and I didn't expect him

1310
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 2: to say nothing back, but his response was, what you're

1311
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 2: gonna do?

1312
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 3: Oh what I'm gonna donna poke your fucking eyeball. That's

1313
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 3: what I'm gonna do.

1314
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:24,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put a fucking hole in your fucking head.

1315
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 2: That's what I'm gonna do. Motherfuck like you tripping? Like

1316
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 2: why you wanna throw me down? I would play that

1317
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 2: much water Detroit. Oh man, that fan, I'm gonna whoop

1318
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 2: his ass once again.

1319
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 3: It's always with me.

1320
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 5: Now it's your fault.

1321
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 3: Nah man, I'm bothering nobody.

1322
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 5: Bro.

1323
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 2: I get in the game again. I don't know if

1324
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 2: this this was the end of the game and now

1325
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 2: the Philly game. I was actually playing, playing real minutes,

1326
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:48,480
Speaker 2: That's why I really.

1327
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 5: And I was doing good.

1328
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:53,360
Speaker 3: I was fighting for more minutes. Might have seen me

1329
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:55,280
Speaker 3: play that game, like, you know what, we need this motherfucker.

1330
01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 3: But anyway, I got throwed out, so now we in Detroit,

1331
01:02:57,560 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 3: same thing, but I think this is a different I

1332
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:00,160
Speaker 3: think this is the end of the game.

1333
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:01,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is at the end of the game. So

1334
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 2: I get put in at the end of the game

1335
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 2: once again. I already hate that ship anyway, but I'm

1336
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 2: a good bet. I got to show professionalism to my

1337
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:09,640
Speaker 2: young guys. So I get in the motherfucking game. As

1338
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:11,760
Speaker 2: soon as I get in the fucking game, I get filed.

1339
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 2: I go to the free throw line. So I'm at

1340
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:14,920
Speaker 2: the free throw line. This is this fan sitting course out.

1341
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 2: This motherfucker is just talking shit. Before that, even a

1342
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 2: couple of times up the court, he talking shit, talking shit.

1343
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 2: So now I get fouled. Boom, I missed the first

1344
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 2: free throw. He talking shit. I make the second free throw.

1345
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 3: Boom.

1346
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 2: There's another play whereas a file and there's a time out.

1347
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 2: So now I'm getting ready to walk to the bench

1348
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:35,800
Speaker 2: for the time out. He did, and I said to myself.

1349
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 2: I said to myself, I might not get another chance

1350
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:39,040
Speaker 2: to check this mother.

1351
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:40,760

01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 3: to the motherfucker sitting courtside.
