00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: because Shannon Shaw is asking me a question about so

17
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: like that. You know, I'm already when when I go

18
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: home and and and I see the guys I grew

19
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: up with. You know, I'm a brag about this situation

20
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: right here asking me about but not being cocky, not

21
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: being arrogant. I think, No, I know that I would

22
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: have been a better player in football than I than

23
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,559
Speaker 1: I was at ball. And that's not disrespecting basketball, guys,

24
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: that's not disrespecting the game that that that's done so

25
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: much for me. I mean, I'm a household name, I'm

26
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: a Hall of famer in that in that sport. But

27
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: football was my first love. And at the same time, Shannon,

28
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: you know, if I would have had to get on

29
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: the grid, then I wouldn't never stopped lifting ways after

30
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: high school, you know what I mean, you would have

31
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: seen an old totally different physique. I might be looking

32
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: like you or something. Hey, but I would have I

33
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: would have had too. I would have had you would

34
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: have had a short, short career, you know what I mean. Basketball.

35
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: I just didn't like Waits because I it was too heavy. Football,

36
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: I know I would have had to I would have

37
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: had to live. And then you can you can you

38
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: can ask anybody from Virginia and and and they would

39
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: tell you Shannon that you know, hands down I was

40
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: I would have been better in football. So that was

41
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: my first love. So you would have been Russell Wilson, Kyler, Murray,

42
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, Michael Vick. You you was Michael Vick before

43
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: Michael Vick. All you gotta do is ask Mike and

44
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: then and then what's what's what's wild about what you're saying?

45
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: And that that that lets me know about definitely what

46
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: I've been know about your your sports i Q. But

47
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: you know that's how I was as a basketball player,

48
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I wanted to add some

49
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: of Michael Jordan game, add some of magic, be fast

50
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: like Isaiah, rebound like Bark, be dominant like Shaq, you

51
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: know what I mean, do it all on the court

52
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: like you know, you know the guys that do everything,

53
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: not just one particular thing on the basketball. I didn't

54
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: want to have no weaknesses out on the court, so

55
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: I tried to implicate all of those guys game in

56
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: the minds. And that's what I would have did in football,

57
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I would have wanted to

58
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: be accurate like Aaron Rodgers and have the arm like

59
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. But I definitely would want to run like Russell.

60
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: I definitely would want to run like Lamar Jackson or

61
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: Mike Vick. You know what I mean. I just wanted,

62
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, in basketball, I didn't want the opponent to

63
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: feel like they could do just one thing to shut

64
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: me down. I wanted to have variety that I could

65
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: counteract with, you know what I mean when they try

66
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: to take something away from me. And it would have

67
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: been the same thing in football, like I mean, just

68
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: the way you change the game at tight end. You know,

69
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: tight end is not playing the game, Nope, Like you

70
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: know you played the game, you know what I mean.

71
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: It was like a wide receiver playing tight end, you

72
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And that's how you change the game.

73
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: And that's what I would have tried to add to

74
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: my my football game was different parts of grades and

75
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: try to put it in one game. And the I

76
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: don't know how many points because there a lot of

77
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: people say if the heat average forty, head having fifty

78
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: average sixty, how many points do you think Jordan could

79
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,679
Speaker 1: average in today's NBA? What's the most you have averaged?

80
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,799
Speaker 1: Thirty seven? Thirty seven one? All right, so forty easy,

81
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: forty easy, forty forty easy, Yeah, forty easy, Like like

82
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: forty easy forty would be easy for black Jesus because

83
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: Harden I think hardened hardened a couple of years ago.

84
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: Average thirty six. So you go, so so you figured

85
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 1: Jordan could average forty with no problem. I'm man sharing

86
00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: it like it's when I talk about him him, it's different, man,

87
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: and a lot of closes. A lot of times it's

88
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: by because I love him so much. Like if if

89
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have had the vision.

90
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be the Allen Iverson the basketball player today

91
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for him, you know what I mean.

92
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: So I feel and plus he was, he was, he

93
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: was the best to me, you know what I mean.

94
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: I think, I think, I definitely think he was the best.

95
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: And and I don't put Lebron in the conversation because

96
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: I love him so much as a as a person

97
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: and as a and as a basketball player. You know

98
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's real, real personal When being Michael

99
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: Jordan don't have the personal relationship like me and Lebron Lebron.

100
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: But those three Lebron, Mike and Kobe. I never seen

101
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: nothing better. I never seen I never seen him player

102
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: better than those three. I might ask both of you guys.

103
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: And you add to that when he had when he

104
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 1: averaged thirty seven, he was doing it with twols and

105
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: even though they weren't. They weren't shooting three pointers like

106
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: how they shooting now. You know what I'm saying, was

107
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: just just imagine if Michael like decided to shoot six

108
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: seven threes a game like they do now like forty

109
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: would have been. Hey, everybody knows what you did on

110
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: the court. But you also changed the rule because you

111
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: had everybody coming. If they wearing one hundred and fifty pounds,

112
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: they were wearing a T shirt that was fit shot,

113
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: they was wearing jeans that would foot calm alone. You

114
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: started that, You started the car rolls. Nobody was had

115
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: corn rolls, nobody was tapping. My teammates hated me for that.

116
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: They would going to big and Small and I would

117
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: get there before them and buy up all of the

118
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: stuff so they understand all the big beause I would

119
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: buy all the stuff them from from big and tall.

120
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: And I was just I didn't never think that I

121
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: was doing nothing wrong. I was dressing like the guys

122
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: from my neighborhood, right, It was just it was just

123
00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: at some point it turned from Levi's to Jabos and yes,

124
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: and you know what, being because I could afford it, right,

125
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And and I was getting

126
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: beat down a lot. And I think it's kind of

127
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: bitter sweet because if you look at today's game in

128
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: every sport, you know, you see guys dressing and and

129
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: and looking the way they want to look. You know,

130
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: some people can disrespect it and it might not be there. Look,

131
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: but people comfortable, they supposed to be able to come

132
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: to work comfortable, right and and like for me, I

133
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: never went to the basketball court when I was growing

134
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: up in a suit. You know what I'm saying, I

135
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: wear them down because because you know, my my my lady,

136
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: like when I wear seats. But back then for me,

137
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: I was I didn't mean anything by it or anything

138
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: like that. I was being met and I felt like

139
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: that what's wrong with being you? Everybody else taken up?

140
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: So when when? So when when the commissioner? When the

141
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: commissioner changed the rule even though he didn't say it

142
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: was the Allen Iverson rule. You gotta work through you

143
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: cold and things of that. No oversized T shirt, no

144
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: football jeans size fifty with your size thirty two? What

145
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: way through your gods may rest in peace? I love

146
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: him to death because we became real, We became real

147
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: good friends towards the end of my career, and I

148
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: just remember going in there to meet him about that

149
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: dress code situation. Shannon Man and I had on all

150
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: baseball and baseball game, you know what I mean, And

151
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: he said something I think I had on the Indian

152
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: stuff and he was like, what's you know, what's over

153
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: this major league baseball stuff you got on? And I'm like, man,

154
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 1: it's just clothes, you know what I mean? And I

155
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,840
