42
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,560

00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 2: He's got the twang.

44
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 4: He got the twang. He's got his own cuss words.

45
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 4: It tells people he doesn't cuss, but it don't cuss him.

Speaker 4: he ultimate competitor bro. Like even I was on the

61
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 4: call another day because we're talking about what's going on

62
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 4: with Carolina and they're talking about possibly building a new arena.

63
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 4: He just he was on the call. He spoke on

64
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 4: the call. So it was about ninety of us on

65
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 4: the call and we're just talking about the ins and

66
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 4: outs of what that's going to look like if there's

67
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 4: a new arena built, they're deemed one, what would happen,

68
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 4: et cetera. I don't want to get into the ins

69
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 4: and outs of it, but when he speaks, even when

70
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 4: we win or lose, but definitely lose, you get emotional,

71
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. And when you're a freshman

72
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 4: or a sophomore like you like damn like it makes

73
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 4: you feel like not only bad and guilty, but like

74
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 4: like you feel his like his pain and how much

75
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 4: he wants to win, and you don't want to let

76
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 4: him down. You don't want your teammates now. So yeah,

77
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 4: when he gets in the mode, it's like you'll run

78
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 4: through a wall for the guy that Well, what do.

79
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: You remember about your time with Coach Williams. I'll say intense,

80
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 2: like he really pushes you.

81
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 5: Uh, you know, and he really taught me the game

82
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 5: of basketball, because like, think about this, like when you

83
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 5: come into high school when you like one of the

84
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 5: top players, you.

85
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 3: You know, you don't, you think you know the game,

86
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 3: but you just really.

87
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 5: Just kicking people's butts doing just better than everybody. Right,

88
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 5: So when I got to Kansas, he actually taught me

89
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 5: the game of basketball, the fundamentals, you know, from the

90
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 5: basic stuff, how to fight through a screen, how to

91
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 5: get open stuff. Because I was just naturally gifted. So

92
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 5: he really taught me the game and I appreciate him

93
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 5: for that. He was at my Hall of Fame induction

94
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 5: that he cares about his players, and he says, and

95
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 5: he always says this, I'll be at your first game

96
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 5: and your last game, and he held that up.

97
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 4: He would tend the game every year that I played.

98
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 4: That we like you try to see see us play

99
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 4: every year. So he really cared about his players. Bro Like,

100
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 4: he showed that on and off off the court as

101
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 4: much as you could support. And he was checking every

102
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 4: year to send a Christmas card or lame boy, how

103
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 4: you doing? What can I do for you? How can

Speaker 4: Yeah, we still talking.

107
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 3: He talks him in a minute.

108
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,239
Speaker 5: But I will say this, like what made me feel

109
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 5: good about going to Cancas because of Williams.

110
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you both that how did you

111
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: end up? You and seeing how did you end up

112
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: at Kansas? You guys are both all Americans, meaning you

113
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: had options. People wanted you guys, how did you end

114
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:37,799
Speaker 1: up Kansas?

115
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 5: So I will tell you this, so like it was

116
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 5: how he recruited me. It was like, you know what,

117
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 5: everybody was giving me the world. He came to my house,

118
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 5: was like, I can't even promise he did that.

119
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 2: He did that.

120
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 3: I was like, what I'm.

121
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 4: He did? Everybody give you an opportunity. I'll give you

122
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 4: an opportunity to earn your spies.

123
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, And then I knew he was the one for

124
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 5: me because I remember was in the playoffs my senior

125
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 5: year and we was playing the mean Gas which is

126
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 5: in Compton. We played at Compton College. And when I

127
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 5: tell you, when you go to Compton College.

128
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 4: Serious, he pulls up and he ain't scared to be

129
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 4: a coach.

130
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 5: Williams came came to Compton College to watch a playoff

131
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 5: game and I swear he was the only white dude

132
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 5: in there.

133
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: And I was like, that's the coach for me.

134
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 4: I love that same. It was like I didn't have a.

135
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 5: Lot of atmosphere that like, it's rowdy, there might be

136
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 5: some fights, it might really go down. Williams, he was

137
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 5: just in there and I looked up like he was there.

138
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 5: I was like, damn ye. I was like, coach, you're

139
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 5: a real one.

140
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: So that's when you were like, this is my guy.

141
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: That's my guy for show, Danny. What do you remember

142
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: I didn't have. I wasn't a top player like that.

143
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: I was a late, late bloomer.

144
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 4: So I came. I snuck into McDonald's got you and

145
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 4: I didn't, But.

146
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 2: You would have still been the top forty.

147
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 4: Yeah. Actually again, I started getting highly recruited going into

148
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 4: my senior year. It wasn't like early.

149
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 2: On, it wasn't like this whole job thing.

150
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 4: And once once they started recruiting, it was like it's

151
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 4: easy for me. But he came in the same areas

152
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 4: he was in New York bro and then he came

153
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 4: to the crib right in North bab had some dinner

154
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 4: and that's a food chopped up with him, and the

155
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 4: same thing with Pe. He's like, Yo, McDonald's, I can't

156
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 4: guarantee you anything. You have an opportunity to earn your

157
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 4: playing spot or earn your minutes, but I'm not promising

158
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 4: anybody anything. And I can say that for everybody all

159
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 4: down the line that he recruited, so everybody had the

160
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 4: same opportunity. But when it comes to the teaching thing, man,

161
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 4: like what he learned from Dean Smith, like just not

162
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 4: only teaching his basketball, but how to live and how

163
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 4: to be a young man, you know, like the keys

164
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 4: are a lot like the thoughts of the day. We

165
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 4: had defensive off principles today and then the thoughts of

166
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 4: the day, Like you can you can give him man

167
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 4: officially for a day, you teach him an officially for

168
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 4: the rest of his life. Like we had little things.

169
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 5: Like that that we had that too practice playing what's

170
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 5: the hell you have to remember the thought of the day,

171
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 5: if not you running, you know.

172
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 4: The defensive end, offensive philosophies, and then the thought of

173
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 4: the day. And it might be something like, you know,

174
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 4: no one cares when you know when like with some

175
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 4: of them are along the lines of uh, nobody, when

176
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 4: no one cares? Who gets the correct like everybody succeeds

177
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 4: when nobody else cares.

178
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 5: It was on the practice plan. You get the practice plan,

179
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 5: but then you come in the court. You got to

180
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 5: remember what the thought of the day was.

181
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: That's what.

182
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 4: And he rotated probably like a good thirty different thoughts

183
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 4: of the day. And I think that's something he carried

184
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 4: on from Coach Smith. But you know, doing things the

185
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 4: right way. He was very punctual. It wasn't tense, but

186
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 4: it was like all right, from three forty six to

187
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 4: three fifty two, we're gonna do these drills. To three

188
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 4: fifty seven to four oh seven, we're gonna do it

189
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 4: was like yeah, no. His practice was two t down

190
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 4: to the minute, and we were disciplined and you had

191
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 4: to be.

192
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 3: Out of practice before word.

193
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 2: What did you do?

194
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 5: Man on the spring ankle? And I couldn't deny my man.

195
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 5: You never denyed drill.

196
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you run a freshman like they fucking do

197
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 4: that to you. Pass out.

198
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 5: You couldn't let your man catch the ball. My man

199
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 5: catching the ball. He was practicing on my spraying ankle,

200
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 5: and I was like, my ankle has hurting me. Get

201
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 5: out of here.

202
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, get the.

203
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 3: Fuck out of my practice. Get out of here.

204
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,719
Speaker 5: He's just you're not you don't want it. I was like, man,

205
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 5: I got it out through my jersey. I took my jersey,

206
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 5: I threw it in the trash, went to my door room.

207
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 3: I did.

208
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 2: I did.

209
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 5: I was like, man, he it was real dramatic. And

210
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 5: he called me that night like because he was like

211
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 5: he knew I was his best player. He was like,

212
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 5: I'll just challenge you in front of everybody, like I apologize.

213
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 3: I know.

214
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 2: He was going through it, wow, like you know, but

215
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 2: he pushed me.

216
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 3: That's that's what.

217
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 4: And I kicked up a couple guys out of practice

218
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 4: for different reasons. But he kicked the ball before and

219
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 4: sometimes it's hit his head like he didn't Boby night,

220
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 4: but he's kicked the ball. He got his showers and

221
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 4: also at the time there was times where he had

222
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 4: a was I don't know if it was a sciatica

223
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 4: or or something like that, and uh, he got he

224
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 4: got mad as hell and we played guys like Steph

225
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 4: Curry's like, recruited you guys over this what I'm saying,

226
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 4: Anthony Marrol t us the fuck up Jeergy say recruited

227
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 4: ju and he's guy has like twenty and a half. Time.

228
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 2: I told these guys to go fuck off. You guys

229
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 2: could be here.

230
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 4: He tried to. He tried to grab a garbage can

231
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 4: and the Carol I had the big wooden garbage try

232
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 4: grab that sh and throw it. It took a while

233
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 4: for that ship to come down, and I think he

234
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 4: sucked up his back. Another time he got so mad,

235
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 4: slaped and like it shit started acting. That's so funny,

236
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 4: but like he would get mad. He's very intense, bro,

237
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 4: He's very.

238
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: Who do you think who came the closest besides Kansas

239
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: and U and C to you going over there?

240
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 4: Do you remember top of your top five schools?

241
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 2: Yeah? Who was who was like right there with Kansas?

242
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 5: Like for me, it was Oregon because you know, and

243
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 5: I was like mostly recruited even though I was all Americans,

244
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 5: like one of the top players in the country. It

245
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 5: was like, you know, I got heavily recruited because my

246
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 5: senior gave one of the national championship was that Ed

247
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 5: Obannon and all of Yeah, so they was heavily recruited me.

248
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 5: But most of the Pac ten and the West Coast teams,

249
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 5: so I'll say Oregon and cale Berkeley. But it was

250
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 5: just like I took visitor Kansas and I'm like, living

251
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 5: on the West Coast. I went to all the USC games.

252
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 5: It's not the same when I went to the Kansas game.

253
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 5: And I went to one and it was like, I've

254
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 5: never seen nothing like this in a field house. When

255
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 5: I got there, I was like, this is I need

256
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 5: to play in this building. That's amazing and that's what

257
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 5: made me want to go there.

258
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: So nobody really liked the packed ten schools back That

259
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: was a packed ten back then.

260
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: It doesn't even exist anymore, unfortunately.

261
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 1: But like so the Cows and the Oregons were the

262
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 1: guys that were heavily on you, and U n LV

263
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: was not Jason Kidd that just got just got drafted

264
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: from Cal and all of that. So I can understand

265
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: why you were thinking about that, but then Kansas kind

266
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: of overwhelmed you.

267
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 2: It over wailed me.

268
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 5: There was my name, think about a high school kid

269
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 5: from Inglewood.

270
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 2: Damn, Yeah, that's amazing.

271
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 5: They had a mid night manager went to and it

272
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 5: wasn't mid night manas I went.

273
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 3: I went to the first game, so it was just

274
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 3: like like.

275
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: We want pierced. I was like, this is sick.

276
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 5: So then you know you're going that arena and it

277
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 5: was the day before you go in that arena. They

278
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 5: got the spotlight on your jersey, like we could see

279
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 5: your jersey hanging up here or something. It was just

280
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 5: some crazy. I was like, I'm overwhelmed. And then I've

281
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 5: never seen people camping out for the game the night

282
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 5: before because LA is not like that.

283
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 2: Like that, nobody's camping off the USC basketball.

284
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I seen all this. I was like, what

288
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 3: It just overwhelmed me.

289
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 5: From a kid from Inglewood throwing up off Crenshawn Imperial

290
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:42,360

00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 4: And see surprisingly NC State was one of them.

Speaker 2: When we say large, we mean large.

511
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 1: Morgan and Morgan has over one hundred offices more than

512
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: one thousand lawyers nation wide.

513
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 2: That's not a law firm, that's a whole squad.

514
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: When hiring Morgan and Morgan, it's like hiring an army

515
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: that has your back.

516
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 3: And the numbers speak for themselves.

517
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 5: They recovered over twenty five billion dollars for more than

518
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 5: five hundred thousand clients, real results, Like in Florida, one

519
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 5: client got like twelve million dollars after the insurance company

520
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 5: only offered three hundred and fifty thousand, And in Pennsylvania,

521
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 5: a client ended up with twenty nine million when the

522
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 5: insurer's best offer was five hundred k.

523
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 2: But here's the thing.

524
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: If you hire the wrong law firm, you might be

525
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: beat before the game even starts. All law firms are

526
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 1: not the same, and there's a reason Morgan and Morgan

527
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,560

Speaker 1: that's your cousin. Okay, he has a great question. It's

537
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: about grassroots basketball.

538
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 4: AU kids that's playing in the space, yes and all

539
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 4: of that. How do we improve they're not playing though.

540
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: The skills of our young athletes on the grassroots level.

541
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 4: We gotta get the fundamentals.

542
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 2: Man.

543
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 4: Like what Europeans are doing right.

544
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: They're less focused on games and more focused on skill work.

545
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: They do mostly they work with the young People's not

546
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: playing forty.

547
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 4: I mean we I know everybody follows what we do

548
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 4: over here, but why can't we take a page at

549
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 4: other countries? I agree, like why can't we do? They're

550
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 4: not taking over, but they're damn there.

551
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: But they don't really think guys where they they send

552
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 1: the kids to a sports academy, Like they don't bother

553
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: with the oh, you have to get it, you have

554
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: to maintain the straight a's at such and such school.

555
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 2: It's like, nah, man, we're gonna teach you while here.

556
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: But like you're a basketball player, you're a soccer player,

557
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: do that?

558
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 4: You know.

559
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: I think that's another thing that they do that's a

560
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: little different from what we do here.

561
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 4: I think it's a good and bad thing because now

562
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 4: even kids here are doing that more. But I feel

563
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 4: like multi sports was it helped me and other people

564
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 4: like playing multi sports. Everybody's now focusing. Soon they get

565
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,479
Speaker 4: to middle school, pick one thing and stick on that.

566
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 4: By the way, I'm like, I feel like other sports

567
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 4: can teach you skills for the sport that you like,

568
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 4: Like you can still play through middle school other sports,

569
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 4: but kids are doing that now. They're trying to get

570
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 4: if you have the resource, just like kids out of

571
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 4: the the hood ain't making it no more if you

572
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 4: don't have the resources. Now you have the training and

573
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 4: the trainers, it's gonna be harder for those kids that

574
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 4: make a.

575
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: Thing too like pricing out people of the sport. Like

576
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: if you just don't got the money, you just can't

577
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: make it to the league.

578
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 2: That that sucks.

579
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: What if you've seen with your kids in terms of

580
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: the grassroots stuff, I just.

581
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 5: You know, I used to have au team, and I'm

582
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 5: just saying with the business of it start so early

583
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 5: and it.

584
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 2: Gets in the way of like really the like.

585
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 3: Love these young has fun.

586
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, they should be having fun. It's like it's too

587
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 5: much business too early. Yeah, like let them enjoy.

588
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 4: The game, like for at least a little bit, right

589
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 4: at least, Like.

590
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 3: You know, it's just too much business of the game.

591
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: Some people would say that's too much at stake, right,

592
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: Like if you if you have the potential one day

593
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: sign at three hundred million dollar contract.

594
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 5: That's why I'm thinking that the kids a kid, you know,

595
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 5: like when you're like telling them to like sit out

596
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 5: and see the trainer and.

597
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 3: The one on one.

598
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 5: Basketball guy and then practice and the conditioning.

599
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 2: It's just like, yo, it could be a lot on

600
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 2: the kid early, you.

601
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 5: Know, because I remember as a kid, my basketball was

602
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 5: just going to the park on Saturday.

603
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 2: Play the organized basketball.

604
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 5: To seventh grade, it's too much serious, it's too business.

605
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 5: Like I feel like it shouldn't get business until you

606
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 5: get to the point where you're like, okay, it's a

607
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 5: point to where he actually can go somewhere with it,

608
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 5: but let him enjoy it first. Let him have fun,

609
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 5: be a kid. Like the thing is, And what I

610
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 5: try to do is like I try to take the

611
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 5: kids and do things with them outside of the sport

612
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 5: from time because it's like Saturday we have games and

613
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 5: then Sunday we go to the beach run and then.

614
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 2: It's just like like let's go to top golf, let's

615
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 2: go to let's go.

616
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 5: To the movies, let's go bowling. Yeah, like let's let's

617
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 5: be a kid. Like you're teaching kids to be professionals

618
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 5: too young. And I get it the business of it,

619
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 5: but like, if it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen.

620
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 3: You know.

621
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 2: It's funny because when.

622
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 4: I figured out those guys that started at like seventeen eighty,

623
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 4: they picked the ball like Pascal Joel didn't start playing.

624
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 4: If you're gonna be a pro, you can be a pro.

625
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: When I was younger, everybody that I knew that I

626
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: hooped with, they thought they were gonna go to duke.

627
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: But it didn't dominate their life, you know what I mean.

628
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: It's like, I love hoop. I want to get as

629
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: good as I can, but it's not like every day

630

00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 5: we went to Cleveland and they gave Lebron the MVP

710
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 5: trophy and we sat there and watched it, right, we did,

Speaker 5: My rookie rear year grand Hill gave me the business,

719
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,239
Speaker 5: when I tell you after, I cried after the game

720
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 5: because I never got hit. So I never got what

721
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 5: was it about the game though, that you remember something?

722
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 5: And he scored on me every time down.

723
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 4: The stretch and key moments.

724
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 5: Damn, I couldn't stop him. I was like, damn, you

725
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 5: were shining. I was like, this is and I looked

726
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 5: at him. I looked up to my idol at the time, manipulating.

727
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 5: I mean I was. I was trying to play like

728
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 5: him young. So I was like, I got this man.

729
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 5: He must have crawled. He got the half cross used

730
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 5: to do. I could not start. He scored every point

731
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 5: down the stretch. I must have on the locker room,

732
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 5: everybody looking at me, looking at me, like, damn, we

733
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,000

Speaker 2: Who won't. The rookie of the year was that Vince.

735
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: I distinctly remember you guys' rookie year because yeah, Mike

736
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,280

738
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: these three young guys are incredible. And your story was

739
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: that you know, a lot of guys passed on you

740
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: in the draft and you was pissed and you were

741
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: settling scores. But like, I just what I think about

742

Speaker 1: Damn Yeah, I'm gonna go less.

793
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 2: I'm gonna follow you, guys. Norm Powell more or less

794
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 2: than twenty two and a half for more.

795
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 3: He's always hitting. Yeah, he's gonna be with him.

Speaker 1: Gonna I'm gonna go more as well. Damn I a

797
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: bio more or less than nine and a half rebounds less?

798
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 4: They playing so it is Miami versus Boston.

799
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 2: Less not a long rebounds against Boston.

800
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go less. I'm gonna go less.

801
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go more. I like the amount of possessions,

802
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 2: A lot of possessions, so.

803
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: A lot of opportunities for rebounds there and Kalel where

804
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: more or less.

805
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 4: Than nine and a half rebounds, I'm gonna go more

806
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 4: for him. I feel like he's he's close to the

807
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 4: basket the Bam like BAM's gonna be BAM's on a

808
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,399
Speaker 4: permanent more. I'm going They're playing bad basketball, a little

809
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 4: more football.

810
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 2: A lot of rebounding opportunities in this game less.

811
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: All right, Next up again another one of our favorite segments,

812
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: Power Moves, presented by Morgan and Morgan. And after we

813
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: just saw the Knicks in the NBA Cup playoff like atmosphere.

814
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 1: We're not gonna call it a playoff atmosphere. Playoff like atmosphere.

815
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: Do you think the Knicks should do a power move

816
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: and trade.

817
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 4: I must say, I must I said, it's never a

818
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 4: bad idea, but I think for them, the only team,

819
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 4: they don't need to rush it right now. I feel

820
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 4: like they can hopefully wait till he's available to the

821
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 4: end of the season and get him then because I

822
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 4: like what they have going right now. They're in a

823
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 4: good spot, they got good offense. It would take a

824
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 4: lot of their depth and their future to get him.

825
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:01,439
Speaker 4: It would change their team drastically. So I say play

826
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 4: it out this year, see what this group can do,

827
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 4: because I think they're good enough to make it to

828
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 4: the finals. And then if you don't win it, then

829
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 4: you could you know, jump ship, change things and then

830
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 4: adds some mother pieces while you're an offseason free agents,

831
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 4: or you get some mother trades happening to make yourself

832
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 4: a contention. Again, what do you think?

833
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 5: I think this is a no brainer for me, Like

834
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 5: anytime you can get a guy like who's an MVP candidate,

835
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 5: top five player in the league, you go for it.

836
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 5: Because this is what I want to say, Like, what's

837
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 5: the one ingredient you have to have to win a championship?

838
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 5: You have to have a top five player MVP to

839
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 5: win a championship. Think about every team that's won it

840
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 5: all who won it last year? What a year before

841
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 5: Boston saying them was the top five? Yes he was,

842
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 5: yeah before that, Steph yok. Like you have to have

843
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 5: that player. That's the one ingredient for a championship. And

844
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 5: that's why I say every year the only contenders are

845
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:03,439
Speaker 5: the guys who are in the MVP conversation. And he's

846
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,439
Speaker 5: in the MVP conversation. So if you can get that,

847
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 5: you go for it. Like nobody on the Knicks. I

848
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 5: mean you could say, yeah, Jayalen brus is the top

849
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 5: five player. No, he's not a top five he's a

850
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 5: great player though he's an All Stars putting together two

851
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 5: great production All Star.

852
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 3: Yes, it is.

853
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 5: But to win a championship, you have to have a

854
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 5: top five player.

855
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 2: In the league.

856
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 5: It's look at the last twenty champions Yeah, all of

857
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 5: them had a top five player.

858
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 3: Maybe one or two didn't. And if you can get that.

859
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 2: You go for it.

860
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 4: Yeah.

861
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: I think for me, if you if the Knicks think

862
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: their team is made better by getting honest, then they

863
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 1: should just do it.

864
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 2: Now like the idea that you should wait, I think

865
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 2: it's like you strike now that's my thing.

866
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 4: I'm not sure that trading the next thing. What do

867
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 4: you think do you think they made better.

868
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: With getting rid of Townsend Ananoby for Nis, I'm not

869
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 1: sure that makes them a better team.

870
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 4: I was really I'm keeping. I gotta keep. Maybe, I

871
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 4: don't know.

872
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 2: I don't think that makes them.

873
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 3: Hard.

874
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 2: I just.

875
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 4: But you're taking away all your depth.

876
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 1: All of your defensive capabilities, like even that that that spur.

877
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 2: You compare me with Bronson. If you compare me with Bronson,

878
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 2: and if.

879
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 4: It's a straight up, I'm good.

880
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 5: I'm gonna tell you, look around the league, right, who

881
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 5: are the top duels?

882
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 4: Right, Jamal Jamal.

883
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 3: Would be one of the top duels.

884
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:49,399
Speaker 2: They would be.

885
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 3: But that makes them a contender? Hold on, hold on.

886
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 2: But what about the Phoenix Suns with all of their

887
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 2: star players and k D and Book and Great.

888
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 4: Duo and all of that big three that failed Phoenix

889
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 4: when they had their Big three, they failed.

890
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 2: They didn't have nobody who was then conversation either. Yeah,

891
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 2: well that's fair, that's fair.

892
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 3: That's fair.

893
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 2: Neither Book nor KDE r m v P type of players.

894
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 4: But I just think Kyrie Katy and James Harden, James

895
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:25,320
Speaker 4: didn't work.

896
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 3: They didn't get a chance to play. They didn't get

897
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 3: a chance to play.

898
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 2: They could have won the championship.

899
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:36,919
Speaker 4: I don't know about that.

900
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 2: Let's go crazy. I don't know.

901
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 1: I just I just to me personally, I don't think

902
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: the Knicks become this clearly better team by getting rid

903
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: of O G Towns or Towns and Bridges or some

904
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:58,240
Speaker 1: combination with some other pieces with stuff out going.

905
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 2: I'm not convinced of it. I'm not convinced of this.

906
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 3: Past to the Indiana Pacers.

907
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: The Pacers were clearly one of the best teams in

908
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: the NBA, so they bullied. They took Okay, see the

909
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: seven games. They should have won that game. So but

910
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: they got the best player, got the Achilles in the first.

911
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: So you don't think lose it to the Pacers is bad. No,

912
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 1: but New York didn't have a better team.

913
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 4: You have a better roster.

914
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 2: I thought they should have won the series.

915
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 4: But but they got bullied, right, I think the Paces

916
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,359
Speaker 4: proved that they were great team. So cat cats work

917
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,800
Speaker 4: around here. Cat and Brunston got bullied by Tyres Haliburn

918
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 4: and Pascal Guys. Is that what happened?

919
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 2: The Pacers were a great.

920
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 4: Team, Cat and Cat and Brunton got bully did okay.

921
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 2: Get bullied by them? Did clearly get they beat a

922
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 2: bunch of.

923
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,839
Speaker 1: Good teams on the road and took the team that's

924
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: about to win seventy eight games seven games like shame

925
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 1: in Indiana.

926
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:57,800
Speaker 4: I'm asking you. Did they get bullied?

927
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 2: Said they got? I think they lost to a better

928
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,800
Speaker 2: team last year. I think the Pacers were a fucking

929
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 2: damn good team. So it's proven by their performance in

930
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 2: the finals.

931
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 4: What my questions? No, I didn't say that.

932
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 2: What are you doing right now?

933
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 4: Your your statements now very different When I said Minnesota

934
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 4: is a better team than the Lakers. When we had

935
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 4: that conversation, you said bron and Luca got bullied because

936
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 4: they lost.

937
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: They got out played, they got so they got beat

938
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: up and they got beat up by like played better.

939
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 4: So did they not get beat up and bullied by

940
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 4: the Indiana paces yet much better team? Brunton and Cat

941
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 4: individually said that he got beat up, outplayed by everybody.

942
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, Notice the Pacers are like two and eighteen.

943
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 4: That's right now, So that's not a thing I'm not

944
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 4: talking I'm talking about at the time, Did they get

945
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 4: bullied and I look at the numbers. I don't think

946
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 4: that he got He did what he was supposed to do.

947
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 4: He did his job. Who's he Brunton.

948
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: I think Brunson was was close to doing what he

949
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: could do.

950
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 2: I think the Knicks could got to play.

951
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,839
Speaker 1: I think the Knicks has constructed can be better than

952
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 1: they showed last year.

953
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,280
Speaker 4: But by your standard, he got out played by Tyr's Haliburton.

954
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, I have no issue with that. I think

955
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 1: Haliburt is a great player.

956
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 4: Like I'm not saying, what are we doing right now?

957
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 4: The Paces?

958
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 3: I think the Pacers got lucky.

959
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 2: The Paces got lucky.

960
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 5: Let me ask you, all right, so let me ask

961
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:40,879
Speaker 5: you something. You've been a part of what three championships? Now,

962
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 5: you played on some really good teams, right, but to

963
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 5: win it in all your role, you guys were good, right, yeah,

964
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 5: but did you get.

965
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 2: Lucky on the road, on the road to the win

966
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 2: at all? You have to be.

967
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 4: Good that you have to have some luck on your side,

968
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 4: for sure. Sure, some years more than others, we got

969
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 4: some luck on us.

970
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 3: You have to have luck on your side.

971
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 5: Pacers all bounces, it's got a lucky shot.

972
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 4: Basketball guys is with them.

973
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 3: You have to be lucky too.

974
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 4: Nicks were better.

975
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 3: X were a better team and is not lucky.

976
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 4: I think that out played.

977
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 3: They didn't outplay the Knicks like that.

978
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 1: They played them, they beat them in six games, and

979
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: then that six game they.

980
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 5: Just like it's confidence after a certain amount after all

981
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 5: the luck the lucky shots.

982
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, so the Knicks.

983
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 1: Because they got unlucky against Indiana ship trade.

984
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 2: For you what you said.

985
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 3: They can't win without the top five players.

986
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 4: I'm just bringing back all comments because you're not hypocritical.

987
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:48,439
Speaker 4: That's all I'm saying.

988
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 2: Creds. They got out played by the Pace.

989
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 4: No, not to they. You said. You specifically said two

990
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 4: people got out played on the lake.

991
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 2: Bro Brown was guarding this guy all series. The vice versa.

992
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 4: Them was show different. When your numbers are greater than

993
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,879
Speaker 4: the other person's numbers, that means you did not get

994
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:08,240
Speaker 4: out played by that person. But according to you, because

995
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 4: they lost, so he got bullied. I'm just making sure

996
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:11,959
Speaker 4: that your.

997
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:16,879
Speaker 2: M was based on points per game, every number of rebounds.

998
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 2: Of your argument, he had more points per.

999
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 4: Game every category wise. He didn't beat him in any category.

1000
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:28,800
Speaker 2: Except the series and his team game. But you beaty.

1001
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 4: Specifically, but you specifically made it when it came to them.

1002
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 4: You said the Knicks when you specifically made about an

1003
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 4: individual when it came to the other team. That's what

1004
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 4: I'm ever.

1005
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, which is established Jalen Brunson.

1006
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 2: It's not a Luka Doncic. Nobody thinks that, and nobody

1007
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:47,879
Speaker 2: thinks Carl Towns is better than.

1008
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 4: I'm just asking you if you thought he got outplayed.

1009
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 4: I thought he played it fine. I thought other guys

1010
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 4: didn't show up. But I think, yeah, he got out played.

1011
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 4: He lost, he got beat up.

1012
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 6: Go ahead, Yeah, Oh, we want to get back to

1013
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 6: get We want to get Okay, the Knicks should get

1014
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 6: out to the Google.

1015
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 8: Mobuckers want to ask you about Game six twenty twelve.

1016
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 8: What was that like, bro, Because y'all just knew y'all

1017
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 8: and was going back to the finals. What was that like, Paul, Oh.

1018
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be honest, like you know what I'm saying.

1019
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 3: Like Lebron. This is the thing about Lebron.

1020
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 5: Everybody wanted to know if he had the mental aptitude

1021
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 5: to really take his team over the top, right, and

1022
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 5: we pushed him to the limits. The reason he went

1023
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 5: to Miami because we pushed him to the limit for sure,

1024
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 5: and he was like, well I need more help. And

1025
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 5: so now he's in a situation again versus the big

1026
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 5: bad boss of Celtics.

1027
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 3: Three two on our home.

1028
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 5: Court, and this is the this is it right here,

1029
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 5: This is his legacies on the line, because if he

1030
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,240
Speaker 5: loses this game, he's gonna get.

1031
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, crucified.

1032
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 5: And this is what greatest players of all time do.

1033
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 5: They step up to the occasion and he putting. He

1034
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 5: got put on.

1035
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 2: That stage to where he had to deliver.

1036
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 5: And this is what made I feel like I was

1037
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 5: a part of helping him get to the next step,

1038
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 5: like he had mentally and physically showed the girl he

1039
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 5: was that guy because this was the biggest test of

1040
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,439
Speaker 5: his life right there, you know what I'm saying, because

1041
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:36,240
Speaker 5: he went to Miami.

1042
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 2: To do this.

1043
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 3: Now, were like, what's up.

1044
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,959
Speaker 5: We swung on them, we had them on the ropes,

1045
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 5: were about to knock them out. He got up, they

1046
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 5: got off the canvas and showed what their mental tipness about,

1047
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 5: and he showed why he is who he is today.

1048
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 3: And that's the game that.

1049
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 2: Really I would say they game changed.

1050
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:56,320
Speaker 3: His career, That changed his whole career for.

1051
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: Sure, Like I would say him, Ron basically didn't never

1052
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,399
Speaker 1: have a bad playoff series again for like like.

1053
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 3: This is everybody year.

1054
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 4: I think that series changing more than.

1055
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:08,839
Speaker 5: An Everybody had us after that game. Everybody had us

1056
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 5: going to the finals. It's gonna be us versus. Okay,

1057
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 5: see by the way our setup title, we was gonna

1058
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 5: beat there with see you.

1059
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 2: Know Bett, oh, I think you guys would have beat him.

1060
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 5: We bets and Lebron showed like, look, I'm tired of this.

1061
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 5: Little brother is tired of these ass whoopers.

1062
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:28,399
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

1063
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 5: When little brother become a grown man, now that's that

1064
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 5: was him. He's like, I'm tired of these as whoopings.

1065
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 5: Now it's time he grew up there.

1066
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: But what do you remember specifically about that? Remember, like

1067
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: watching it live crazy because I was just like, god, damn,

1068
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: he's hitting everything. He was hitting shots and yeah, but

1069
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 1: it was the shots he was making the turn on phase.

1070
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 1: You know, Lebron wasn't known for his jumper.

1071
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 2: He was swishing shots that I mean.

1072
00:49:56,760 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 5: Fade away like threes. I'm like, oh, like he was

1073
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 5: don't let him get to the basket. He was getting

1074
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,240
Speaker 5: to the basketball. When we let him settle for the jumpers,

1075
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 5: he was hitting those, bro and it was in sick.

1076
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 5: It was like it was like his coming out part

1077
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 5: of his moment.

1078
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 4: That was the story in Miami though. D Wade Sam

1079
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 4: like we would go under screens, make him shoot jumpers.

1080
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:15,799
Speaker 4: One game will work next time they come out and

1081
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 4: had everything. What the fuck is I was game play

1082
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 4: making jumpers, That's what the fuck is going on?

1083
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:21,919
Speaker 2: Like what's going on?

1084
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 4: The game players and making shoot jumperscause it's so good

1085
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 4: against the rim Sam jumpers, it's a long the best.

1086
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 2: Player in the league and getting to the rim gosh

1087
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:31,360
Speaker 2: him downhill.

1088
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 3: It was crazy.

1089
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 2: So we're like, let's let's force him to shoot him

1090
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:35,719
Speaker 2: Was he making that?

1091
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 5: And then you're like, damn get up on him now

1092
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 5: now getting to the rim boom, like.

1093
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:46,320
Speaker 3: Like what you're gonna do? You know? And I was like,

1094
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 3: like you know.

1095
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: Game seven was a battle too. That came down to

1096
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: the white bash. It like two threes in.

1097
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,479
Speaker 5: The corner with the threes in the corner because Boss

1098
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 5: was hurt the game before something like that, right if he.

1099
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 1: So Bohton played for most of the series. He hurt

1100
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 1: himself against Indiana.

1101
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, so if he don't come back.

1102
