Obviously, 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.360 you know, it's been a lot going on this last 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.200 week or so. I feel like I'm finally starting to 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:10.440 get my bearings and just like my my my legs 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:14.120 back under me and and but most importantly my mind, 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:23.880 um when going through the playoffs. Well before we get 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:27.320 into this, um, it's been a great week. As you know, 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:31.280 the parade was absolutely incredible, which we'll discuss a little 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:34.640 more about that. But as I mentioned, this is the 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:38.480 first episode of the off season and We're about to 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:40.520 hit the ground running. What do I mean by we're 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:42.720 about to hit the ground running? If you have not 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:48.480 seen doing a live podcast recording slash show in New 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:54.120 York City Monday night with JJ Reddit, the new media 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:58.520 is going to be absolutely insane. Uh. The podcast will 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.080 live in the normal pod cast fees. So if you 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:04.200 can't make the podcast, there was or or the show. 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:07.120 There were not a ton of tickets as it is 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:10.200 a smaller venue. So and then obviously it's the summertime 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:13.800 when people are traveling and blah blah blah. If you 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:17.360 can't make it, the podcast will live where every other 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:19.440 episode live, and you'll be able to check it out. 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:24.040 So don't fret. My pet will be just fine. But 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:29.560 in saying that, as you know, the parade was about 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:36.160 almost a week ago and it was great. Why was 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:40.000 the parade grade? I must I must be honest. Um, 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:43.960 after having parades in Oakland, I was a little nervous 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.679 because I just didn't know what to expect. I am 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:50.200 the type of person like I like things to stay 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:56.280 the same. Um, I'm very shy, which most people will 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:59.799 never believe. When it comes to like new people, I 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.240 it does not work well with me. It takes me 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.000 a while to get comfortable with people like I just 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.440 like things to say. I said all of that to 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.959 say after having three parades in Oakland and then coming 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.120 to San Francisco and having a parade, I was a 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:16.400 little skeptical about it because I just didn't know what 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:21.800 to expect. And I love my oak Oakland family as 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:25.119 Oakland will always be a home, second home to me. 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.480 Really grew up there and became a man, not like 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.160 grew up like we know, I'm sacking of Michigan through 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:35.800 and through baby, that doesn't change. But I grew into 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.760 a man in the city of Oakland, so that place 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:43.800 will always have a special place in my heart. Never change. 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:48.040 But if I'm ranking parades, because we live in this 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:52.280 society that's always trying to like rank and compare, uh, 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:58.200 dumb shit. Um. I think that may have been the 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:05.400 best parade. Why was it the best parade? Um for 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.760 a few reasons. Number one, Steph Curry was acting up 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.960 and you just never see that, Like when we wont before, 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:17.200 Steph didn't act up. Steph was acting up. Clay Thompson 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:21.159 was acting up. I mean this man, by the way, 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.800 I know we all saw the video, or if you 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:27.960 have not seen the video, please go to your Instagram 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:32.839 and find the video of Clay Thompson stumbling. The guy 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:37.800 stumbled five steps then he hits He like runs over 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.719 the girl and immediately catches his balance, which was the 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:44.560 great parts, like you run this girl over and that's 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:47.320 how you catch your balance. If that girl was not 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:51.400 right there, the girl that Clay Thompson ran over, I 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.919 mean that ends badly for Clay number one. He's tripping 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.599 on a little like I don't know what these calls, 0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:59.480 so forgive me and all the smart people out there. 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.760 That's gonna comedy black. It's called this thanks in advance. 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.720 But the metal the cage thing that's all over the 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.600 streets and there sometimes on the side, he's like tripping 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:14.000 and I know, like in that situation, it's it's for 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:18.279 it's probably for the train system, the Bark or whatever 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:24.360 train system runs, whatever transportation system I should say runs 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:27.680 downtown San Francisco on Market Street. I'm sure that's why 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.919 the cage thing is there for that. But he's like 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:35.000 tripping over that, and if he falls on that thing, 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:39.760 that does not end well. Quite frankly, he runs the 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:44.919 girl and save himself. I thought that was absolutely the 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:50.000 highlight of the parade. Um, or maybe Clay Thompson losing 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:55.000 one of his rings. Now to show y'all how much 0:05:55.040 --> 0:06:00.240 of a fog I've been in. Clay had his rings, 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.440 Steph had his rings, Bob had his rings, and I 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:05.839 had told myself days leading up to the parade, like 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.520 I need to get my rings because I don't keep 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:13.080 them in the house like they're in a safe location, right, 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:18.080 I need to get my rings. Totally forgot. See those 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:22.320 guys beginning to pray like I forgot my rings. Then 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.040 Clay Thompson goes on to lose his one of his rings, 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.479 and I think he found it, but I'd be the 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:30.960 one who definitely lose the rings. So it's probably best 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.720 that I did not give my rings, um, and I 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.479 just I talked to my ship anyway, like I had 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:44.200 my rings. So it was great, But man, Um, the 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:48.400 fog that I've been number one for all our loyal 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:55.360 supporters out there are listeners, I hope you listen to 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.880 the podcast that I did right after the finals, and 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:03.760 it was absolutely horseship. Why was it absolutely terrible? Well, 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:08.320 I'll tell you why it was great. Having Andre on, Like, 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.600 that's surreal, Like to have him on in that moment, 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.720 like right after we win, great, Like you know, you 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.360 get Clay Thompson on as about as long as you 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:18.480 can get Clay to focus. We we kept him as 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:20.960 long as we could get him to focus. Absolutely incredible. 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:24.960 Getting GP on there, absolutely amazing. Even the cameo by 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:29.520 the rook who can't stay focused for twenty seconds and 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:33.240 answer some questions. It's great. Having those guys own is incredible. 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.160 Why was it terrible? It was terrible because I was 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.200 still in the fog. I didn't know what was going on. Um, 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.720 I'm sure you you probably watched that and be like 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:45.200 Draymond didn't give us much of anything. I had nothing 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:51.800 left to give. I was absolutely exhausted, um and again 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.840 and further explaining the fog that I was in. I 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:59.880 totally missed the Champagne celebration. Totally missed it. They like 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.240 did a little small dude over for me when I 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.320 when I came in the locker room. As you know, 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.960 if you watch the if you see any if you 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:11.040 watch any of the clips that the Warriors supposed to 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:14.400 from Champagne celebration, you'll notice you only see me in 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:18.760 like a five second clip, maybe for five seconds, and 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.840 it's really just me sitting there spreading the champagne because 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:25.160 I missed the whole celebration again just in the fall 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:27.880 on the court, I'm standing on the court and like 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:32.280 not realizing pretty much anything that's going on around me, 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:39.160 And so I missed that. I then proceeded to miss 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.680 pictures with everyone. So like if you see the pictures, 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.840 like I think there maybe a picture of me and Clay, 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:49.920 maybe me and Clay. I think it's me and Clay possibly, 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.120 but like I don't have a picture like me and Steph, 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.320 for me and Steve or me and g Like I 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:57.640 totally missed that part of things. I then proceeded to 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:02.840 miss of the after party that we had in TV 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.040 Garden and like some club they got in there, Like 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:08.319 who knew it was a club and TV Garden huge club. 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:16.720 I missed like of the after party. So I said 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:18.680 all of that to say or just to give you 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:23.800 a perspective of why A that episode was terrible because 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:28.760 I didn't realize in scheduling the episode with Jackson and 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:32.880 like you just don't know where the emotions were gonna be. 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.360 And for me, my emotions was all over the place, like, 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:37.600 you know, a part of me and sitting there watchington 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:41.120 younger guys and enjoying seeing them like when their first 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:44.360 championship and they're reacting. A part of me is sitting 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:47.640 there trying to process. Man, we just want our fourth championship. 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.120 And let me tell you the difference in between four 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:53.720 and three man as well be having one and four, 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:58.560 Like it feels so night and day, like the rarefied 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:02.800 air that we're in after winning the fourth one then 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:07.480 winning the third one, it's literally like it's just so rare. 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:09.800 I was on the phone with Brian the other day 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.800 and I'm just telling him, like, bro, the difference like 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:16.280 going from from three to fours and saying he like, yo, 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:20.520 I'm telling you, like it's crazy. That's why when when 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.880 we want our when we when I want my fourth one, 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:27.320 I'm just like naha, like stop, don't you don't want 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.240 to hear anything. And we were we were just sitting 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.360 there talking about how like the difference in between winning 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:37.240 number three, like going from three to four, it's massive. 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:41.240 And so I want to give a big shout out 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:46.440 to the guys who has four rings. Um obviously your 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:48.680 your current active players is made up of the Doves 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:52.640 and LJ. So that's a very short list. Um, but 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:58.840 Shock Diesel, who all right said a million times was 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:01.559 growing up for me like it was Shot, like a 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:05.880 huge Shock fan. Had to zip up. Orlando Magic, Onzie. 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:09.320 My night light was Orlando Magic. I had to iron 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:12.520 on half ironed on and the rest is like going 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.840 missing Shaquille O'Neil magic jersey with the lines and into 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:20.040 him and Penny jerseys, you know, like growing up for me, 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:23.960 my favorite player all times, Shot, just the way he dominated. 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.080 I actually be going back and watched some of Shot 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:32.319 highlights and different stuff with Shot, and dude was absolutely insane. 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:37.720 Four time Club, MJ. Four time Club obviously MJ six, 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.840 but we're talking about the four time Club, MJ. You're 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:44.640 gonna you're gonna be a part of this club for now. Um, 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:49.280 we got Cold Kareem and like you know, I can 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:54.480 go on and on with this list. Scottie Pipper, the 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.280 moral of the Stories, Steve Kerr. I'd be remiss if 0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:03.560 I didn't say Steve Kerr. But there's forty four guys. 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.440 Four of them happen to be from our camp and 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:11.839 in NBA history that has four championships, and so that 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:15.520 leads you to the conversation that it's our seventy five team. 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:19.000 Now we're not getting into that. I'm just joking, partly joking, 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:26.839 partly serious. But anyway, it's like it's it's really still 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:29.720 hard for me to put in words, but nonetheless back 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:33.440 to what I was saying anyway, trying to put into context, 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:36.560 like we just want our fourth ring. In the emotions 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.040 of it, standing on that stage looking out at the 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:44.640 Boston fans, who I don't even need to revisit all 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:47.920 of the things that they were saying and h their antics, 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:51.080 but to watch them sit there and watch us hoist 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:56.600 the trophy, my emotions in my mind was just all 0:12:56.679 --> 0:13:00.800 over the place, and so just kind missed the moment. 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.760 I remember a story Peter Goober, who was one of 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:07.120 the majority owners mentor mind one of the majority owners 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.760 are to go to State Warriors. He told me a 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:12.960 story years ago. He said, Draymond at All, I always 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:16.600 wanted to win, and um, I always wanted to win 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:20.800 an Oscar, you know, and and you do all of 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:23.360 these things, and you put these movies together, and like 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:27.920 the ultimate goal is to win an Oscar. And I'm like, yeah, 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.280 it's great, he said. And Draymond, we finally got the movie. 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:32.679 We got our oscar, he said. And I'm on like 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:35.520 a chair and back of everybody, like trying to stand 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:38.520 up and so I could be in the picture, he said. 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:42.080 And in that moment, I realized the picture is the 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:46.679 least important part of this journey. It's the actual journey 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:50.800 that you appreciate. It's the times on set um with 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:55.439 the actors and with the directors and producers and actresses. 0:13:56.960 --> 0:14:00.000 That's what you appreciate. You appreciate the journey. You appreciate 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:04.800 the process of getting there. And it took me to 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:08.080 have to trying to hop on a chair in the 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:11.040 back and like being the picture to realize like it's 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:15.680 all about the process and journey, and so a part 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:19.080 of me is just sit standing there and like like 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:22.120 not even really caring about the picture or about holding 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:24.640 a trophy, Like I never held the trophy on stage. 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:27.280 First time I held the trophy was like in the 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:31.000 pictures afterwards where you take the individuals, but really hoisted 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:35.840 the trophy was the parade and so it was it's 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:39.840 it was a surreal moment for me, but it was 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:46.640 also a little um confusing if you will. And what 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:49.040 I mean by confusing is just it was just all 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.400 over the place. I was all over the place. So 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:57.480 that was kind of the ending of it for me, 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:02.600 or yeah, essentially the ending. But I also want to 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:09.000 walk you back to games five and six, A very 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:11.320 interesting detail. I think a couple of people picked up 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:15.600 on it, but most people didn't. I wear the same 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:19.240 outfit game five in game six. If you would have 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:23.800 saw my pack back on the way back from Boston 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:28.160 or way to Boston, very small bad because I didn't 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:31.760 have many clothes. I wear my same black uh Converse 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:35.560 sweatsuit to game five and the game six. What was 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:40.320 the significance behind that. The significance behind that was I 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.280 felt like leaving Boston that I was in the war. 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.840 Um with the people screaming and yelling the way they were, 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:51.760 the disrespect, I felt like I was in the war, 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:57.880 and and no disrespect to to to our soldiers and 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:04.840 to um our armed forces as a whole, and actually 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:07.920 going to war when I said, we appreciate everything our 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:11.880 armed services due for our country, for us as American citizens. 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:15.360 So I'm not making the comparison as if I was 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:18.120 going to like real war. I was going to war 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:21.800 in my world, and my world is basketball, and I 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:24.640 felt like I was going into a war, and so 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:28.720 my mindset was all black everything, like I'm going to 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:32.080 take something, and that's just kind of where I was mentally. 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:35.960 I also didn't want to spend any energy on what 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.800 I was going to wear that day. Uh, And so 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.320 for me going into game five, Hazel was asking me, 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:44.680 She's like, uh, do I need to earn your clothes 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:46.720 for you before? Like keeping you want to set your 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:49.560 clothes out before you're taking that. I'm like, yeah, I 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:51.760 think I'm just gonna wear an all black jogging cities. 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:55.160 She's like, okay, well, if you change your mind, you know, 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:57.800 let me know or sit. And then when I woke 0:16:57.880 --> 0:16:59.480 up from my now, she's like, hey, you got something 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:02.160 me are I say, no, I'm one percent wearing all 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:07.000 black jogging suits. And then you know, go to game five. 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:10.680 We win Game five, and I told her, I'm I'm 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.960 gonna take this joggon suit off. I'm gonna pack it up. No, 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.239 I'm not watching it. No I'm not. I didn't have 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:18.280 time to send it to the cleaners or anything anyway, 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:22.400 because we left the next morning after game five, this 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:26.159 is going straight in the bat and I'm going to 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:29.360 game six and I'm gonna wear the same outfit. That's 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:32.680 exactly what I did, and the result was the exact same. 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:35.680 I think after game four we knew we had them. 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:40.280 Like after game four, I'm like, all right, I'm wearing 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:44.960 all black. It's gonna be a funeral. Game five, it's 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:47.000 time to go ahead and really try to kill these 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:50.200 you know, like kill these boys. Game six we put 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:53.879 the dagger in these boys. But that was kind of like, 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:57.200 that was my mindset, and so that's how I went 0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:00.720 into game five, in game six with at the absolute 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:03.720 same outfit on. It was incredible. It was a part 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:07.280 of my journey and for me, like I said, that 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:13.199 was my mindset, and I absolutely enjoyed that. Now, like 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:15.880 I said, I knew after game four, we knew after 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:19.600 Game four and really after game three, but especially after 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:23.640 Game four that you know we had that was kind 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:26.560 of it. And so you're going to game five where 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:30.080 they you know, we take a big lead, they fight back. 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:37.159 The biggest shot of the series was Jordan's Pools shot 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:41.040 before the end of quarter number three in game five, 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:43.960 where he banked the three in Why was that the 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:46.639 biggest shot of the series. The reason that was the 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:50.760 biggest shot of the series was because they had fought 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:53.760 back in in in the third quarter, which we had 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:57.720 dominated third quarters, they fought back in that third quarter 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:04.840 and when they fought back, they had taken the lead 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:07.320 and Jordan hit the shot and we went up one 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:10.680 going into the fourth quarter. And I know to most 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:14.640 people it's like, but they only up one, No big 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:18.360 deals right there. But what that did to them mentally 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:23.240 for them to see, man, we just had this incredible 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:27.080 quarter and we're going into the fourth quarter down. It 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:29.520 didn't matter whether they were down by one point or 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:32.639 ten points to have the quarter that they had to 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:35.560 take the lead and then go into the next quarter 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:39.199 down that for them, I feel like it was a 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:43.720 dagger when Jordan hit that shot. Now did they quit 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:47.320 after that? No, we went out and we immediately took 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:52.879 over the fourth quarter of Game five. But you you 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:57.160 just knew like they didn't have Like they made the comeback, 0:19:57.280 --> 0:19:59.640 but they didn't have enough to get over the hump. 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:03.480 And if they never took the lead and they're going 0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:07.200 into the fourth quarter down one, it's a totally different mindset, 0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:10.240 but the fact that they took the lead and then 0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:14.080 they still went into the fourth quarter down I think 0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:17.840 for them mentally, that was like a gut punch for them, 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:20.720 and so a huge shot from Jordan's. Then you go 0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:23.760 into Game six, they start off, they make their run. 0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:27.040 We all expected it, we all expected like this. They're 0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:29.000 fighting for their lives in front of their home crowd. 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:31.800 They're gonna come out with a bang. They started Twitter too, 0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:36.040 and then things start to change, and at that point 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:39.400 you knew we took that first blow. That was it. 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:44.240 That was it. And then obviously we go on and 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:47.960 we do what we had to do in order to 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:50.399 talk to you all the way we have been talking 0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:52.879 to you all. And by the way, let's get into 0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:58.520 that Twitter beef. Twitter beef with everyone. I don't have 0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:03.200 Twitter beef with anyone, just that why um, because why 0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:05.440 would I have beef. I'm kind of just telling y'all 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:08.560 like what it is, and telling y'all how I feel, 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:14.160 and like, most importantly to shut up because quite frankly, 0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:16.600 we don't want to hear it. And so you may 0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:19.360 have seen me at the parade, and I'm just like 0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:24.199 in every interview, I'm like shut up. And the reason 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:31.800 being is because you have these experts that does all 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:38.840 this talking, less analyzing, but a bunch of talking heads 0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:43.639 and they just talk talk talk talk talk. But what 0:21:43.760 --> 0:21:48.639 about getting back to actually analyzing the game? What about um? 0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:53.480 Like why why is it so important? I know why 0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:59.800 it's important, actually, but all these hot takes, like what 0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:04.520 about explaining the game of basketball and and what's going 0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:08.000 on and like what it means and the games within 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:11.520 the game and the advantage of the advantages that one 0:22:11.600 --> 0:22:14.679 could get winning the NBA Finals. For those of you 0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:20.959 that don't understand it is the smallest edge that it takes. 0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:24.720 Is that that's who's gonna win the NBA Finals. It's 0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:28.320 the smallest edge. It's not who can score the most points. 0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:31.800 It's not it's Steph Curry gonna score thirty nine points 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:35.480 and Jayson Tatum gonna score twenty nine points or thirty 0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:38.080 nine points, or it's not that that's not what wins 0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:42.639 you the NBA Finals. It is the smallest edge that 0:22:42.760 --> 0:22:46.200 wins someone the NBA Finals. And because all these dumb 0:22:46.320 --> 0:22:49.919 talking heads and never done it, they don't understand it. 0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:52.280 Even the one that has done it, don't act like 0:22:52.359 --> 0:22:54.600 he's done it because he's an idiot in the moron 0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:58.000 and wasn't really that good of a player. And so 0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:00.600 I'm talking about Kim j. Perk Is by the way, 0:23:00.960 --> 0:23:06.720 um like so he don't even understand like how to 0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:09.879 even talk speak about winning the championship and things that 0:23:09.960 --> 0:23:15.600 go into it, and and like the advantages that you 0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:18.919 need to gain or lack thereof, and giving someone an advantage. 0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:21.760 I mean it comes down. Look, I'm very close with 0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:26.160 Jayson Tatum. Obviously he's been on the show, which we appreciate, 0:23:26.640 --> 0:23:28.679 but that's j t is a little brother to me. 0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:31.840 It was bothering me to not speak to him at 0:23:31.880 --> 0:23:35.760 all during the finals. Aaron Miles super tight with Aaron Miles. 0:23:36.680 --> 0:23:39.040 Me used to sit and play Domino's entire flight where 0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:40.880 Aaron Miles when he was here the last few years. 0:23:43.119 --> 0:23:45.320 It was bothering me not to talk to them guys, 0:23:46.240 --> 0:23:49.480 because when you've built the relationship like I've built with 0:23:49.520 --> 0:23:53.600 those two, like a part of me is like, man, 0:23:53.640 --> 0:23:56.639 I want to say, what's up to my brother, But 0:23:56.760 --> 0:23:58.919 the other side of me, no, I don't have absolutely 0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:01.720 nothing to say to him or or eight Miles, not 0:24:01.800 --> 0:24:05.960 either one of them because it's the smallest edge that 0:24:06.000 --> 0:24:11.320 wins you an NBA finals, and you can't let anything 0:24:11.359 --> 0:24:14.000 get in the way of that. And so for me 0:24:16.920 --> 0:24:21.720 and going through that, yes, that bothered me. But I recently, 0:24:21.920 --> 0:24:24.080 I just talked to eight Miles and JT on the 0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:27.120 phone a couple of days ago, UM, and I told them, 0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:30.280 like I I faced time both of them, like what's up, 0:24:30.320 --> 0:24:32.800 and to look on both of their faces when they 0:24:32.880 --> 0:24:35.600 answered the phone. Obviously it's not at the same time, 0:24:35.880 --> 0:24:38.240 but when they answered the phone, the look on both 0:24:38.240 --> 0:24:40.879 of their faces was priceless. I wish I would have 0:24:40.920 --> 0:24:45.160 screenshot at it, but I didn't, UM, because some things 0:24:45.200 --> 0:24:47.200 are just for those moments and that and that's one 0:24:47.240 --> 0:24:49.159 of them. But to look on both of their faces 0:24:49.160 --> 0:24:52.040 with prices. But I called both of them and I said, hey, man, 0:24:52.080 --> 0:24:55.280 I'm just calling the break the ice. Like we ain't 0:24:55.320 --> 0:24:58.320 spoke a few weeks, but I'm just calling the break 0:24:58.359 --> 0:25:02.680 the ice. And I specifically waited until after the parade 0:25:02.800 --> 0:25:06.119 to break the ice because you know, like you're still 0:25:06.119 --> 0:25:09.320 in those moments and you know you're preparing for the 0:25:09.359 --> 0:25:12.359 parade and it's still early. So I waited till after 0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:15.320 the parade to hit both of them chop it up, 0:25:15.400 --> 0:25:18.720 check in and it was great, It was absolutely incredible. 0:25:19.440 --> 0:25:22.959
