Speaker 1: all came together because obviously not sho you was already
Speaker 1: a Hawk all, Kyle, y'all came for different situations.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about how y'all got to being a Hawk.
Speaker 4: Well, I guess I'll start. Yeah, I was. I was
Speaker 4: in Utah.
Speaker 5: You know, I spent seven years in Utah, had some
Speaker 5: great years in Utah, and then you know, it was
Speaker 5: time to go. And you know, I was looking for
Speaker 5: its place to be closer to home in Louisiana. I
Speaker 5: me and my wife actually were looking at homes, you know,
Speaker 5: in Atlanta, Houston, Dallas area. So we wanted to move
Speaker 5: back somewhere, and the Hawks offered me a two year
Speaker 5: deal and the rest is history.
Speaker 2: Most definitely, cole Man I would come out.
Speaker 4: I was.
Speaker 6: I played with Paul in Utah for a couple of years,
Speaker 6: and then was in Chicago, and then uh it was
Speaker 6: with Derrick Rose when he was U MVP.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Then you know, things happened, had to get traded. I
Speaker 6: knew that I was going to be on the move.
Speaker 6: It's funny. We actually I was driving with my wife.
Speaker 6: We drove from New Jersey. I don't know why we did,
Speaker 6: is we drove all the way to Santa Barbara and
Speaker 6: on the way we knew we are to get traded somewhere,
Speaker 6: and we were like looking around with teams there was
Speaker 6: going to be And we got all the way to
Speaker 6: Santa Barbara and I got a call from Danny Ferry
Speaker 6: saying I.
Speaker 2: Had to file it back.
Speaker 6: We like drove across the country, got there, go went
Speaker 6: to the airport, and flew all the way back to Atlanta.
Speaker 6: And it was funny thinking back about it now.
Speaker 4: We went.
Speaker 6: We stayed at the Rich Carlton downtown and Danny Ferry
Speaker 6: came down that morning and asked me come to the
Speaker 6: table and talk to him.
Speaker 4: And I thought it was gonna be like a welcome
Speaker 4: to the Hawks moment.
Speaker 6: And he was sitting there at debating with the doctor
Speaker 6: if he was kind of accept my physical and not.
Speaker 3: Me.
Speaker 6: He's like, I don't know. This guy's been I had
Speaker 6: a foot injury the year before. And he's like debating
Speaker 6: if he was going to accept this thing. And I'm like, man,
Speaker 6: should I be sitting here?
Speaker 2: Should I like walk away?
Speaker 6: And he and he just like decided the last second.
Speaker 2: He's like, all right, we're.
Speaker 4: Gonna do it.
Speaker 6: Welcome to the Hawks. And I was like, okay, So
Speaker 6: how did.
Speaker 4: I get to the Hawks. That's how I got to
Speaker 4: the Hawks.
Speaker 2: And physicals riding Bay real tricky right now for show,
Speaker 2: now for you.
Speaker 1: He was already here with the U a different regime, obviously,
Speaker 1: new culture, new situation. How was that welcomed them to
Speaker 1: the team. I probably wasn't the best at welcoming people
Speaker 1: to the team. I didn't talk much, so when I
Speaker 1: met Paul, he just came in, what's up.
Speaker 2: You know, he don't talk a lot either, So it's.
Speaker 4: Gonna be a great podcast.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's up, Bro? That's all he gave was ahead
Speaker 1: and what's up?
Speaker 7: Bro?
Speaker 1: And Kyle he was y'all see Kyle, he he lights
Speaker 1: up a room, he comes in, what's up?
Speaker 4: Brother.
Speaker 1: I thought he was like a surfer kind of guy,
Speaker 1: So I'm like, what's up?
Speaker 2: Cool dude?
Speaker 1: Like, but he was super cool, super chill, and uh
Speaker 1: it was easy.
Speaker 2: It was easy to work with. That's crazy.
Speaker 1: I mean, before we get past this point, we gotta
Speaker 1: talk about Kyle Man. You got one of the legendary
Speaker 1: picks in the NBA. Man, you with the Jordan zone.
Speaker 1: Has that ever came across your timeline recently? You we
Speaker 1: got the rookie pick, you got the Jason and everybody's
Speaker 1: like that, we thought he was a surfer, but you.
Speaker 2: Had the heat on your feet. Please revisit that pile.
Speaker 6: Where that's like it's like there's a date on the
Speaker 6: calendar where that picture has to come back on the
Speaker 6: internet every single year.
Speaker 2: It's like two pictures.
Speaker 4: That's one of them.
Speaker 6: But yeah, man, you know that was All Star Weekend.
Speaker 1: You got to come with something, right, for sure, A
Speaker 1: little bit different All Star Weekend now, for sure, that's true,
Speaker 1: my pot petty'all, but listen, legendary season start off.
Speaker 2: Man. First of all, who's coaching the team at the time.
Speaker 2: Mike Budenhozer. Come coach Bud. You man, that was my guy.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you can clocking up a Bud and.
Speaker 7: Coach.
Speaker 2: That's the home for show. Yeah, Coach Budd was cool.
Speaker 2: When he first got here.
Speaker 1: I didn't like him, not to say it like that,
Speaker 1: but we ended up becoming really good friends. But for real, Uh,
Speaker 1: we played the ice so style. You know, before they
Speaker 1: got here, we had Joe. Everybody played one on one basketball.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was the best brand of basketball,
Speaker 1: but it was fun. And uh, he came in and
Speaker 1: changed all that and for me, it was my time
Speaker 1: to shine. I thought I just had got the team,
Speaker 1: like it was my first year really about to start.
Speaker 1: And he was like, no, we don't play that way
Speaker 1: no more. I was like, he hate And so after
Speaker 1: that we didn't start off on the best foot.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: No, Me and Budd, you know, we kicked it off
Speaker 5: pretty pretty good, you know, our first time meeting each other.
Speaker 5: For me, I was just evolving into, you know, a
Speaker 5: more high volume player, and Bud kind of brought that
Speaker 5: out of me. You know, I actually reached out the
Speaker 5: actually reached out to me a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 5: you know, when I officially decided to retire, and he's say, congratulations,
Speaker 5: and I was like, you know, I appreciate everything that
Speaker 5: you've done because he helped bring that, you know, whatever
Speaker 5: it was that I had, you know, add of me.
Speaker 4: And you know, definitely appreciative for that.
Speaker 1: Most definitely man, congratulations as well man in retirement for
Speaker 1: Shure Man.
Speaker 2: There we go. Chuse love regulations. Man.
Speaker 1: Now before we get into the season, Me and be
Speaker 1: here got a talk because you know, this is our man,
Speaker 1: this is our man from the day one. So naturally
Speaker 1: we got to hate and y'all was our favorite team
Speaker 1: to hate on.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yo, y'all was man fool with y'all like that.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna keep it real.
Speaker 3: I was supporting my guy, but I was like, how
Speaker 3: do they keep winning?
Speaker 7: Man?
Speaker 4: Who did you root for? At that time?
Speaker 8: I was really just a player like Carmelo Anthony was
Speaker 8: my favorite player.
Speaker 3: But me and him, it was deeper than y'all, Like
Speaker 3: he made he made me.
Speaker 8: Not like him, Like he used to come back to
Speaker 8: the crib cal corner shoe bear and everybody in the
Speaker 8: league Cal corner shoe bearing real like, man, I can't
Speaker 8: say it, don't hear, but y'all know what cor But nah,
Speaker 8: I just used to be like dang bro really leading
Speaker 8: the Hawks, like, and I honestly thought that y'all could
Speaker 8: have made it for real run, but I had to
Speaker 8: hate because that was just our beat for real.
Speaker 3: But I just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was always
Speaker 3: real beef.
Speaker 1: They call us the little Giants. You ever seen that movie?
Speaker 1: That's what they called me.
Speaker 2: Every day. Y'all was the little Giants. Man, y'all had
Speaker 2: y'all one shot.
Speaker 8: Y'all went that crazy run, but you know, shout out
Speaker 8: to y'all. Y'all did y'all thing for sure?
Speaker 1: For sure, we're gonna get too far here about but
Speaker 1: starting a season off, y'all started off five hundred and
Speaker 1: five or five. Initial thoughts on that, like, are y'all
Speaker 1: trying to figure it out or just get used to
Speaker 1: new players, new too, leaders with Bud every day, new systems,
Speaker 1: or did I know we had some special We just
Speaker 1: got to get there.
Speaker 6: I don't know that we knew that we were going
Speaker 6: to end up with the season that we had. And
Speaker 6: I think that our group was really had been the
Speaker 6: works for a couple of years, and that's really how
Speaker 6: these really good teams happened. It never just like all
Speaker 6: comes again. It was very few instances in the NBA
Speaker 6: where like a bunch of moves are made and now
Speaker 6: we have a super team and they're going to take
Speaker 6: off like that's happened, but it's not very often. And
Speaker 6: I think what we had all been doing it was
Speaker 6: just really trusting a process. And you know, Paul been
Speaker 6: there for a couple of years now, I've been there
Speaker 6: a couple years, Jeff, you'd been there, But like we
Speaker 6: didn't really add anything new that was going to like
Speaker 6: put us over the top, and so as it really
Speaker 6: we started off like you said, we started off five hundred,
Speaker 6: but like our style of play, our chemistry kept on building,
Speaker 6: and then we end up in you know, later on
Speaker 6: the spring, in a whole month without losing, and we're like, wow,
Speaker 6: like I think we're good.
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna get traded when we started off, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: they got probably at the move. Me I'm not mixing
Speaker 1: in pretty well. But now we just got in a groove.
Speaker 1: And like when we got in that groove, it was
Speaker 1: over with. Our defense was connected, our offense was connected,
Speaker 1: and it was times out there during that year we
Speaker 1: didn't even get to play the fourth quarter and it
Speaker 1: messed up my stats.
Speaker 2: All start team barely.
Speaker 3: Who was the vocal leader on that team?
Speaker 4: Though it wasn't me?
Speaker 3: It wasn't because though now you're all three of y'all's quiet, So.
Speaker 5: You know, I mean, that's funny because you know, Bud
Speaker 5: always tried to get somebody to be super vocal, one
Speaker 5: of those guys, right, and neither one of us really
Speaker 5: had it in us. So each one of us will
Speaker 5: say something every now and then and we'll put our
Speaker 5: input in.
Speaker 4: But what was the vocal leader. Okay, you know at
Speaker 4: that time.
Speaker 1: All I didn't say a word. Kyle, Kyle talked. He
Speaker 1: talks a lot, you know, Al you.
Speaker 8: Al So y'all used to just kill people and not
Speaker 8: saying that to nobody. Nobody talked crazy to the opponent
Speaker 8: or nothing, not even nobody on the bench.
Speaker 2: He used to talk crazy, Dennis, Yeah, most definitely crazy,
Speaker 2: yoab Get about games, yeah, no, I took that.
Speaker 1: This is just a sidebar. I took that game and
Speaker 1: we have them at our house all the time.
Speaker 8: That cone from you, Oh okay, I didn't know where
Speaker 8: you got that from.
Speaker 5: It was more intense in the UNO games than on
Speaker 5: the court.
Speaker 3: That's how it is.
Speaker 1: Now y'all responsible for a lot of random disagreements. Maybe
Speaker 1: baby Fist fights the club twenty due to us Muno.
Speaker 2: So thank y'all for that.
Speaker 1: We appreciate that. Botigh for sure, that's crazy. The fact
Speaker 1: that y'all have are really that like kind of mono
Speaker 1: tone was just killing. But you talked about the makeup
Speaker 1: of that team and stuff. But also shout out to
Speaker 1: al Al still hooping, ain't that crazy?
Speaker 2: Super crazy? Still championships He's super good.
Speaker 8: Still just Alan Dinnis from that teams playing. Yeah, man, damn,
Speaker 8: we filled it up pretty fast, real quiet. The crown
Speaker 8: got like a definitely quiet like.
Speaker 4: For sure.
Speaker 1: Man, listen, y'all caught you stride January historic month, like
Speaker 1: basically your entire team, it's a player of the month.
Speaker 1: How was that feel? Like y'all all killing y'all all
Speaker 1: getting a recognition from that? I know that has to
Speaker 1: feel good in the locker room, for sure.
Speaker 5: I don't think any one of us cared, you know,
Speaker 5: at that time, I don't think we cared that much. Right,
Speaker 5: we were so in the zone in the process of
Speaker 5: a winning that none of the stats and accolade actually mattered.
Speaker 5: You know, it's after the fact, you know, when the
Speaker 5: career is over with, I look back and say, this
Speaker 5: probably will never be done again. You know, it's a
Speaker 5: it's an amazing accomplishment, especially when you got four you
Speaker 5: got four teammates, you know it's all stars.
Speaker 4: Probably would never be done again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's let's talk about that also here, man, listen,
Speaker 1: four teammates into the All star situation.
Speaker 2: How do y'all find out about that?
Speaker 1: Because I know something made a little bit earlier than
Speaker 1: those like what's that like when y'all find out that
Speaker 1: all y'all going to be representing the squad?
Speaker 2: I didn't know that all of us was gonna make it.
Speaker 1: I was just worried about me, But I knew Paul
Speaker 1: had a I knew Paul would make it. He was
Speaker 1: having a great year most definitely, And I knew I
Speaker 1: was gonna make it. He had already been making them anyway,
Speaker 1: so I knew them too were gonna make it. So
Speaker 1: I didn't know if I would make it, and I
Speaker 1: didn't know if Kyle was gonna make it, but I
Speaker 1: was excited for us.
Speaker 2: Kyle, what's that feeling like when you find out you're
Speaker 2: gonna be representing squad?
Speaker 4: That was pretty wild for me.
Speaker 6: I never saw myself as an All Star player, Like
Speaker 6: I always wanted to be the piece that like like
Speaker 6: made a team go and someone that you really wanted
Speaker 6: to be, you know, if you could count on and
Speaker 6: depend on, like you like, I wanted to be that
Speaker 6: that that perfect teammate.
Speaker 4: So I never really like looked at myself as being
Speaker 4: like that.
Speaker 6: So I think with the beauty of that team, man,
Speaker 6: it's like we all made each other better for sure,
Speaker 6: Like and That's really the hallmark of like the good
Speaker 6: teams to me is like when everyone is looking at
Speaker 6: each other and it's not about me, it's how can
Speaker 6: I make the guy next to me better? And the
Speaker 6: beauty of that squad was like we didn't need we
Speaker 6: were talking about words, like we didn't like we talked
Speaker 6: on the court. We talked in like nods and winks
Speaker 6: and looks, and like that's what made us special. It's
Speaker 6: like we didn't have to like communicate, like yelling at
Speaker 6: each other. Like we was like I looked at you
Speaker 6: and looked at out and I knew we were gonna
Speaker 6: go wide. Yeah, you know, like it was just we
Speaker 6: We had this kind of sixth sense to us, and
Speaker 6: that's really what made that team special, was what made
Speaker 6: it so fun to play on.
Speaker 2: Definitely that's the problem now would be coaching basketball. I think.
Speaker 4: They can do that. They look at me like you are.
Speaker 2: You're about to pass out coach.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, cowcovers not walking through that Doorike shout out
Speaker 1: the bike for sure?
Speaker 5: No, Yeah, I mean for me, I was, you know,
Speaker 5: I was happy, you know I had teammates going to
Speaker 5: the All Star Game, you know, I was. I was
Speaker 5: I don't mess with I don't. I didn't care about
Speaker 5: all that, you know, but to have my teammates with me,
Speaker 5: you know, going to the All Star Games, it definitely
Speaker 5: meant something. And on top of that, but I was
Speaker 5: I was angry because Tomorrow didn't make it, you know,
Speaker 5: and Tomriw was my guy. You know, Tomorrow everybody knows.
Speaker 5: It's like the engine guy, you know, he he was
Speaker 5: the glue guy. You know, he did a lot to
Speaker 5: help us win. And it just sucks, you know, to
Speaker 5: see that he didn't. He didn't be a part of
Speaker 5: that that moment, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: So you know, for me, it was a.
Speaker 5: Bittersweet moment, but definitely was good. Glad I had my
Speaker 5: other guys.
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask that question, the topic being if
Speaker 1: everybody on the start five make that that All Star team, but.
Speaker 6: You don't he got paid know that next summer? Yeah,
Speaker 6: lesson at the bank.
Speaker 8: That's what it's about. Did y'all used to ever run
Speaker 8: like a special play that cha knew? Couldn't nobody stop?
Speaker 4: Just proved from.
Speaker 6: I know, I remember we had we had some go
Speaker 6: to plays.
Speaker 3: I would just asking be trying to get his players
Speaker 3: to Ryan most of them out.
Speaker 5: You know when when when Kyle Kover came off of screen,
Speaker 5: he had the whole building looking at him. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 5: and when he made that either he was had an
Speaker 5: open shot or he made the pass down.
Speaker 4: I mean we got that every single time, every.
Speaker 2: Single Yeah, that was easy. I remember it's a video
Speaker 2: going around.
Speaker 1: Well, I think you scored eleven points in like a
Speaker 1: minute or something like that. You're like, it's crazy, he checked.
Speaker 1: And I just remember like we usuedl to just throw
Speaker 1: the ball anywhere we would be. You'd be running around
Speaker 1: like he gonna shoot it. It's good, Like every time.
Speaker 1: I never really thought you were ever gonna miss Like
Speaker 1: when you missed, I was more like surprised, like you
Speaker 1: missed him.
Speaker 6: But I think, you know, we're sharing the love here,
Speaker 6: which I think is great. But you know, like I
Speaker 6: was a product of how we played, right, Like I
Speaker 6: remember you and Kenny Atkinson watching so many clips of that,
Speaker 6: like why like when exactlyte is Kyle want to have
Speaker 6: the ball and where does he want to have? You
Speaker 6: remember that that back little gym over there like and
Speaker 6: you would watch it and then we come talk about
Speaker 6: it and we watch it and come and talk about
Speaker 6: it and like the screens and all the movement, like.
Speaker 4: It was just perfectly set up for me. So it
Speaker 4: was wonderful. Man, I love coming off all those screens.
Speaker 3: What's the most thudies you hit in the game that season?
Speaker 4: You remember, it's a whole new world out there.
Speaker 6: Now many.
Speaker 2: You would have had to shoot fifteen?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you think you would have been able to rock
Speaker 3: out in this league today.
Speaker 4: For sure?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just like that.
Speaker 1: Before we go further the season for y'all being his teammates,
Speaker 1: how it's like to see him now, Like because obviously
Speaker 1: you know he didn't really talk too much.
Speaker 2: To see him on this platform, is.
Speaker 6: That like a man that doesn't talk as a podcast
Speaker 6: saying I saw Jeff he was a scout for us,
Speaker 6: and then the next day he had a podcast and
Speaker 6: it was like nationally and ranked, Like, I'm like, okay, Jeff,
Speaker 6: tell them stories.
Speaker 4: I'm definitely not surprised.
Speaker 5: I mean, Jeff talked when in the right situations, you know,
Speaker 5: with the right topics either in that and you know
Speaker 5: he'll spill whatever, so you know, I'm not surprised, but definitely,
Speaker 5: you know, congratulations, appreciate appreciate it.
Speaker 4: Love for sure.
Speaker 2: Like you said, y'all go into the All Star break.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Now it's time to all right real say something about
Speaker 1: All Star game. Y'all Remember how cold it Wasn't it
Speaker 1: so cold?
Speaker 4: I was talking to my wife about that this morning.
Speaker 4: It was awful. It was like negative thirty.
Speaker 2: It was so bad.
Speaker 4: It was cold.
Speaker 1: I just remember my room service we had. I told
Speaker 1: this story about my nephew. I had this room service
Speaker 1: bill that was like eight grand.
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was like, y'all was saying the same thing, and
Speaker 1: he was. I guess he thought he was on home alone.
Speaker 1: So he was just ordering everything. And I remember going
Speaker 1: to the off about to check out, and I seen
Speaker 1: Bud and we remember we was running kind of late,
Speaker 1: and but was like.
Speaker 4: I got it all.
Speaker 1: I got everything. And I looked at him, I said,
Speaker 1: good luck. I walked to that bus so fast.
Speaker 2: Funny think about that.
Speaker 1: His nephew is now working off his dad at five twenty,
Speaker 1: so he's still covering that bill for sure. Yeah, shout
Speaker 1: out tobacle. But like you said, man, have a crazy
Speaker 1: all start breaking down. It was back to the season
Speaker 1: at this point, y'all locked in. Yeah, I feel like
Speaker 1: it's time to contind. What's the process, Like, all right,
Speaker 1: we got a chance to really make some noise.
Speaker 4: Now say it again. I couldn't hear it.
Speaker 1: Oh my father, I said, Okay, so now after All
Speaker 1: Star break, everything's copoesteadic. Y'are playing good. It's not surprised anymore.
Speaker 1: It's like, all right, do y'all have championship aspirations? Like
Speaker 1: what's that locking in? Like, or like all right, we here,
Speaker 1: we can do it now?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Absolutely, that was the goal. You know, I think we
Speaker 6: had a moment. I think I remember looking at the
Speaker 6: standings a couple of weeks after All Star break, and
Speaker 6: we were like thirteen games ahead of whoever was in
Speaker 6: second place.
Speaker 2: We were so far ahead, and.
Speaker 6: I think there was this whole mindset of like, okay,
Speaker 6: how do we prepare ourselves to really get into a
Speaker 6: playoff run? And a lot that was based on like
Speaker 6: let's be fresh and let's be healthy and let's have
Speaker 6: our minds right. And so that's kind of where we
Speaker 6: were going, right, like trying to prepare ourselves to like
Speaker 6: to be fresh. I thought that in that stretch, I thought,
Speaker 6: you know, a lot of how it made us great
Speaker 6: was just like our edge and how connected we were,
Speaker 6: and I thought a little bit of Like, in that
Speaker 6: next month and a half or so, we lost a
Speaker 6: little bit of that.
Speaker 4: If I'm being.
Speaker 6: Honest, We're just like we were just so far ahead
Speaker 6: of everybody, and you know, we lost a little bit
Speaker 6: of that with whatever was making us really really tick
Speaker 6: going into the playoffs.
Speaker 7: Hmm.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we started like subbing five in and five out.
Speaker 1: It was kind of weird. I remember Paul got mad
Speaker 1: one day. He was like, man, we can't play like this,
Speaker 1: like I can't catch a rhythm. I just remember that
Speaker 1: because bub was south and five in, five out. That's
Speaker 1: when my stat started hurting. No, but I was just
Speaker 1: like you said, we took our foot off the gas
Speaker 1: a little bit. But I just remember Lebron at the
Speaker 1: All Star Game saying to me like, I'm gonna figure
Speaker 1: y'all out. And I was like, you know, studying we
Speaker 1: were doing. We don't even know what we're doing, like
Speaker 1: we're just playing. And he was like, no, y'all got y'all,
Speaker 1: got y'all got something going. I'm gonna figure it out.
Speaker 1: When I figure it out, I'm gonna get you. And
Speaker 1: I was like, we don't know, Bro, I was like,
Speaker 1: we just be playing and he.
Speaker 2: Was like, nah, he sure figured it out.
Speaker 4: He didn't do that.
Speaker 5: I think that whole that whole stretch, you know, I think,
Speaker 5: you know, I don't want to speak for Bud, but
Speaker 5: it was for us to try to We knew who
Speaker 5: we were going to face at some point, right, we
Speaker 5: knew exactly who we were going to play, and you know,
Speaker 5: what was going to be our best lineups, what was
Speaker 5: going to be our best plays, our best strategy, you know,
Speaker 5: going up into that moment. So that whole time was
Speaker 5: pretty much like a figuring out process, and like Jeff said,
Speaker 5: it didn't work. But I think I think that we
Speaker 5: had moments, you know, I don't want to get too
Speaker 5: far ahead, but you know, even during the course of
Speaker 5: the season where we knew that whether it's one play
Speaker 5: or two plays that we took our foot off the
Speaker 5: gas that you know, could have elevated us to the
Speaker 5: next level, right, And sometimes it'd be like that, you know,
Speaker 5: especially in this league, is you know, one or two
Speaker 5: plays can kind of throw your rhythm off in a game,
Speaker 5: within the season, within the playoff series, and you know,
Speaker 5: we had a couple of those. We were able to
Speaker 5: shake back a few times, but you know, someone we had,
Speaker 5: we just had too many going into that back season.
Speaker 1: That's interested you say that because I'll take it to
Speaker 1: a February game I had against Golden State and I remember,
Speaker 1: you know that kind of a little bit of for
Speaker 1: shot them, but the way yall played against it was
Speaker 1: just like, oh they can do this against anybody. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and like that that after style and not saying this
Speaker 1: direct cord relation, but how y'all played the free moving
Speaker 1: basketball like kind of soon where it was like, oh,
Speaker 1: they can do this against anybody.
Speaker 2: Now it's up. So to hear you say that there
Speaker 2: would transpires that that's very interesting for sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, we looked at Golden State and
Speaker 5: how they how they played, and you know, we wanted
Speaker 5: to be the Eastern Conference type of you know, Golden
Speaker 5: State Warriors team.
Speaker 4: At that time.
Speaker 5: We had Kyle Korba, who we considered the best shooter
Speaker 5: in the league, and we ran a lot of stuff
Speaker 5: you know through Kyle. Cow was a big part of
Speaker 5: our offense because you know, he's dangerous behind the three
Speaker 5: point line, you know, And and that opened up a
Speaker 5: lot of windows for myself. Jeff and everybody else. And
Speaker 5: but you know when that shut down, you know what
Speaker 5: were our next options? And I think those are the
Speaker 5: time kind of the things we struggled with at that time.
Speaker 5: You know, what else are we going to do? You know,
Speaker 5: do we have a counter for the counter for the
Speaker 5: counter and you know, and Lebron figured it out and
Speaker 5: shut it down, and those type of things took us
Speaker 5: out of our rhythm for sure.
Speaker 1: Man. But I want to talk about wait, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying before we get to that part where
Speaker 1: y'all was still killing. The city was really behind y'all obviously,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. That has a great fan base.
Speaker 1: You know, Hawks has some up and down years. Y'all
Speaker 1: had some good years before with Joe Josha obviously, but
Speaker 1: the city was really behind y'all. Like the way you
Speaker 1: even see like you used to go to Hawks the game,
Speaker 1: the opposing team might have had more in the crowd
Speaker 1: that time period.
Speaker 2: Nah, it was up and see what's that like? Feeling
Speaker 2: that love? And know what I'm saying on off the
Speaker 2: court yard in the city, y'all still killing on the
Speaker 2: court too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was in the city, so I used to
Speaker 1: you know, they didn't go outside. I was outside, so
Speaker 1: I got a chance to see that. You know, the
Speaker 1: people talk to you like when we love what you
Speaker 1: guys are doing. They was excited about our team. And
Speaker 1: then the fans, like the arena used to be lit,
Speaker 1: like every time Kyle hit a three, you hear three
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. It was lit, even Dennis when
Speaker 1: they used to say God, Eme and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: It was just the time was just amazing. That year
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. And I have been here already for I
Speaker 1: think six or five or six years by then. The
Speaker 1: crowd I was like, man, it's just I haven't played
Speaker 1: in front of the crowd like this shit. And it
Speaker 1: was lit every game.
Speaker 3: He represented, weal for y'all outside, okayl.
Speaker 6: Oh Man Man, I think you know, I think when
Speaker 6: I first got here there was some criticism of like,
Speaker 6: you know, what's the atmosphere like at the games? And
Speaker 6: in the middle of that season when everything turned like
Speaker 6: like what they said, this place it was. It was
Speaker 6: so fun games man, and everything that you guys have
Speaker 6: built now is just added on to that as far
Speaker 6: as the experience, but like there was a real appreciation.
Speaker 6: I think what I felt for like how we played
Speaker 6: the game, and like the intention of like you know,
Speaker 6: the players trying to make each other better, playing in
Speaker 6: a certain style, even overachieving to a certain like we
Speaker 6: we all knew, like you know this, this is a
Speaker 6: group that needs each other. And there was like the
Speaker 6: purest in Atlanta that came out. Everybody loved it and
Speaker 6: enjoyed it, and it's just it's just it's it was
Speaker 6: a team that I love to play on. It was
Speaker 6: a team that was fun to root for, just because
Speaker 6: of the posture that everyone had towards the actual style
Speaker 6: of play.
Speaker 4: That was happening out there.
Speaker 1: Most definitely, so obviously keep killing you get to the playoffs.
Speaker 1: You talk about that environment. What's that first home playoff
Speaker 1: game like.
Speaker 2: A breeze. We knew we was gonna win the first round,
Speaker 2: Like that was easier game too. It wasn't No, it
Speaker 2: was Brooklyn, was it? I don't know who we played.
Speaker 2: People played Brooklyn. It was Brooklyn.
Speaker 4: It's one of those games.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I knew, like we knew we had, we knew.
Speaker 1: I wasn't worried about them at all. The team I
Speaker 1: was worried about was like Washington. I think that's what
Speaker 1: we played next in the second round. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: this might get a little tricky. My defense was never
Speaker 1: the best, that's problem. I was like, themar you might
Speaker 1: want the best.
Speaker 2: Tomorrow, you might have to switch.
Speaker 3: Washington was good that year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were really good, really good.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think we were good against teams that didn't
Speaker 4: execute well.
Speaker 5: You know, we were good against teams who didn't communicate
Speaker 5: on defense, and we just knew teams that we were
Speaker 5: going to beat because we were going to right.
Speaker 4: And that first round was definitely.
Speaker 1: I had a business for sure. Like you said, I
Speaker 1: get it to Washington. You know what, I'm saying, different series,
Speaker 1: but I still prevail. And let's talk about that final matchup.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, all chips on the table.
Speaker 1: What's that environment like preparing to go into that because
Speaker 1: you're playing against Lebron. I was excited. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think we can beat them because in the regular season,
Speaker 1: Lea we didn't. We beat them pretty good every time.
Speaker 1: And I was like yeah, and I've seen the first play.
Speaker 1: He ran a pick and roll with me. I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna do the whole game. You're gonna
Speaker 1: bring me in a pick and roll, like it's over.
Speaker 3: So you knew that he figured it out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, why you keep calling me up
Speaker 2: in a pick and roll? Was trying to get that
Speaker 2: switch it was over. I was like, I can't go Lebron,
Speaker 2: I couldn't guard Delly.
Speaker 3: What you think went wrong?
Speaker 7: It wasn't.
Speaker 4: The reason was it was not that.
Speaker 2: It was not that.
Speaker 4: It was not that just funny I was.
Speaker 6: I was thinking like, well, yeah, I ain't throwing my
Speaker 6: guy a bus like that was not you know what
Speaker 6: I mean.
Speaker 2: We got we had some injuries too, right, Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 6: I mean I feel like I didn't get to compete
Speaker 6: in that whole series, right, I got the second game,
Speaker 6: but I mean there, Yeah, the playoff plays as you
Speaker 6: play and you play in the regular season, and you
Speaker 6: play in the first couple of rounds and you play
Speaker 6: in the last couple of rounds. They're all different, right,
Speaker 6: there's levels. And I think that was a group for
Speaker 6: them that they had, like Lebron had been through more
Speaker 6: of those third and fourth rounds, Like third and fourth
Speaker 6: rounds are different, and that was our first time as
Speaker 6: a group going through that, and there's not I don't
Speaker 6: know of any groups that go through it together the
Speaker 6: first time and get it right right. So I think
Speaker 6: there's a whole lot of grace in my mind for
Speaker 6: for that group. Like I thought that I thought that
Speaker 6: we showed like who we are, and I thought that
Speaker 6: we showed throughout the regular season especially like like we
Speaker 6: like a Paul said, like we actually beat them, I
Speaker 6: think three of the four times, right, But those late
Speaker 6: rounds are different, and it's it's it's something you have
Speaker 6: to just keep on experiencing and building on and adding
Speaker 6: to and like this is this is sport.
Speaker 2: That's what it is exactly for the fans in here
Speaker 2: obviously who don't have that feeling.
Speaker 1: Obviously playing at home, different environment, what's it like playing
Speaker 1: on a road in the high intensity situation.
Speaker 2: It's the best, It's the best.
Speaker 4: It's the best.
Speaker 6: There's nothing in sport like silencing a home crowd. There's
Speaker 6: nothing like it.
Speaker 4: It is the best.
Speaker 6: And then and then you know, it's a bunch of
Speaker 6: a bunch of teams in this league that have great
Speaker 6: home crowds. But when you can sign the team in
Speaker 6: the playoffs like it is the best.
Speaker 1: I thought we were gonna win Game three. I remember
Speaker 1: that plays in my head a lot. I thought we
Speaker 1: won Game three and Lebron was Lebron.
Speaker 4: He's good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's pretty good.
Speaker 4: It's good.
Speaker 6: That was up.
Speaker 1: What happened we went over time that game. Uh, he
Speaker 1: hit a three in the corner, okay, and tied it up.
Speaker 1: I thought he kind of cramp magically he came back.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I like, I'm like, kind of cramp. He's done,
Speaker 1: he's back.
Speaker 2: We lost in overtime. I think Shoven might have got
Speaker 2: a shot to win the game or the tide of
Speaker 2: game something.
Speaker 5: And granted, I mean we we felt like we played okay,
Speaker 5: but they played exceptionally well.
Speaker 2: They shot the ball historically historically, you know.
Speaker 5: First I remember the first quarter. I don't think they
Speaker 5: went on the run where they didn't miss it a shot.
Speaker 1: I think they went on like our defense was kind
Speaker 1: of well, who we said was gonna let shoot?
Speaker 4: I mean j R. Smith was knocking down shots. I
Speaker 4: mean it was they got in a rhythm that you
Speaker 4: know in basketball, you get in a rhythm like that, you.
Speaker 5: Know you have to stop it. You have to stop
Speaker 5: the rhythm. Yeah, and you know, we just got ourselves
Speaker 5: dug ourselves too big of a hole. By not getting
Speaker 5: them out of that rhythm in the first, first or
Speaker 5: second quarter. And you know, when you're on the road
Speaker 5: and you're upin it's a good team, you're up against
Speaker 5: Lebron James. It's tough to come back from me, you know.
Speaker 5: But I felt like we definitely fought and we had
Speaker 5: opportunities to change the rhythm and change the dynamic of
Speaker 5: the series.
Speaker 1: We just didn't capitalize on it. You don't want to
Speaker 1: know something funny about that. You remember when Jr. Started
Speaker 1: hitting those sories. I came to the benches, I got
Speaker 1: them and I got on here. The next one, I
Speaker 1: was like, I got him all chasing my gout him
Speaker 1: cause okay, he came up with screen hit another, but
Speaker 1: you go back over there.
Speaker 2: I don't know who I thought was I'm five to
Speaker 2: the funny funny as you mentioned.
Speaker 1: That you talk about the Lebron picker ros that was
Speaker 1: a clipble around, like Lebron demands that pick a roll
Speaker 1: for like four or.
Speaker 2: Five times in a row, and then you're just all right, bro, Yeah,
Speaker 2: he kept doing it.
Speaker 7: I knew.
Speaker 2: I was like they figured it out, trying to get
Speaker 2: the switch. Then we had the double they was gonna
Speaker 2: kick it out, get a three. I was like, son,
Speaker 2: we can do.
Speaker 1: I was definitely obviously, you know, season came up a
Speaker 1: little bit short of expectations. But you guys had a
Speaker 1: hell of a season obviously, playing the different situations past that.
Speaker 2: How does it make like the memory of this team feel.
Speaker 1: When you go back and like, all right, I played
Speaker 1: different places after this, but the camaraderie we had this
Speaker 1: magical season still lives on.
Speaker 7: Oh.
Speaker 5: I mean, for me, I went to Devil after that.
Speaker 5: A lot of young guys, you know, but a lot
Speaker 5: of young, honky guys. They were hungry, you know, all
Speaker 5: they needed was a little bit of mentorship to get
Speaker 5: them over the edge. But as far as locker room presence,
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't think there'll ever be another, you know,
Speaker 5: situation like we had in Atlanta anywhere else, you know,
Speaker 5: everywhere else. You know, guys are cool and whatever, but
Speaker 5: the bond just goes from there, you know. For us,
Speaker 5: you know, we we knew each other's families, We went
Speaker 5: out to dinner, you know, on the road, we had
Speaker 5: team bonding.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 5: We went to the to the to the what is it,
Speaker 5: the Braves you know stadium and played baseball man. You
Speaker 5: know as a team, you know, we did things like
Speaker 5: that that you know, when it gets on the court,
Speaker 5: it makes it a lot easier to to jail with
Speaker 5: a team, you know. So you know there's a lot
Speaker 5: not a lot of teams out there doing that.
Speaker 3: Sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, man, that team lives on in me. I'll
Speaker 4: just say that.
Speaker 6: Like for me, it's almost like when there's someone that
Speaker 6: you admire in life and they pass away or something
Speaker 6: happens and it's like you take what was good great
Speaker 6: in that and you want that inside of you.
Speaker 4: Like that's what that group is for me, Like there
Speaker 4: was it was so pure, Like.
Speaker 6: I always tell, like I'm told when I talk to
Speaker 6: kids about basketball, and it's always younger, it's like enjoyed
Speaker 6: us because the higher you go it may be more rewarding,
Speaker 6: but it loses its purity. Yeah, And it's not often
Speaker 6: that you get to be around and being a group
Speaker 6: in the NBA where like we were all about the
Speaker 6: right stuff and like a lot of like were for
Speaker 6: me now as we're working on building out the.
Speaker 4: Hawks like that.
Speaker 6: It's it's not necessarily the blueprint, but it is a
Speaker 6: north star all the way, and you want to try
Speaker 6: to you know, continue to add more talent and and
Speaker 6: all those things. But like how that worked, Like going back,
Speaker 6: just thinking back about how this team came together. It
Speaker 6: wasn't necessarily about adding a bunch of superstars and figuring
Speaker 6: out like you got really good humans who love to work,
Speaker 6: who were or love their craft, right, you got really
Speaker 6: really good coaches, like the coaching staff that we had
Speaker 6: that year, like Coach Bred, it was coach Bud. But
Speaker 6: then think about all the coaches we had. Quinn Snyder
Speaker 6: was there the first year and then he left.
Speaker 4: We had.
Speaker 6: You had Kenny Akison, you had Nevin who's been a
Speaker 6: coach in Europe forever. You had Charles Lee, you had
Speaker 6: Taylor Jenkins, you had those are just head coaches who've
Speaker 6: been on the league. You got assistant coaches. Ben Sullivan's
Speaker 6: been a top assistant. You got Pants Pats and Andrews.
Speaker 6: You got Jordan Ott who was in the video room.
Speaker 6: Like these guys are all front of the bend coaches,
Speaker 6: Like that's who was teaching us every day what it
Speaker 6: meant to play Hawks basketball. Right, So it's like this
Speaker 6: this is the formula for me, Like I'm pulling from
Speaker 6: that yere right, Like that to me is like again, yes,
Speaker 6: you add more talent, you try to find hopefully you
Speaker 6: get a number one pick and he becomes an amazing player.
Speaker 6: But like like this is the formula to me, and
Speaker 6: like it is deep in me, Like I have a
Speaker 6: like I have a real love of the game of basketball,
Speaker 6: Like it's what drives me. It's why I want to
Speaker 6: keep on working in this business. And that again is
Speaker 6: like a north Star Like it was a wonderful, wonderful experience.
Speaker 6: Like the bonds and the friendships that we had with
Speaker 6: these guys is real when we see each other, like
Speaker 6: it is love. But you go through heartaches and playoff
Speaker 6: series and you bond and your work like there's things
Speaker 6: that happen in those moments that you can't get in
Speaker 6: any other way. And yeah, it's just a it's a
Speaker 6: group and a team that, like I said, like I
Speaker 6: will pull from the rest.
Speaker 4: Of my life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for me, as far as basketball on the court,
Speaker 1: I never went to a team that had that same
Speaker 1: synergy and energy together, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 1: I went to go play for the Pacers two years later,
Speaker 1: and like you said, I'm winking at guys and they like, nah, bro,
Speaker 1: what you got going on, I'm like, cut back doward.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, it just wasn't the same.
Speaker 1: I went there and I thought, like everybody else were
Speaker 1: done basketball players after playing on that team, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like we just read each other well,
Speaker 1: we knew everybody's movement, we knew everybody was going to
Speaker 1: be on the court, and then going to these different teams,
Speaker 1: it wasn't the same. So I'm used to somebody setting
Speaker 1: a backscreen so you can get a wide open jump shot, and.
Speaker 2: They like, nah, beat him, beat your man.
Speaker 1: I'm like, y'all don't like play together at all, Like
Speaker 1: I gotta run to the corner every time, like nah.
Speaker 2: So it just was a beautiful way to play basketball.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed that so much that I even try to,
Speaker 1: like I'm a coach now, I try to bring that
Speaker 1: same philosophy when we play move the ball, everybody get
Speaker 1: a chance to score. No, no go to guy, but
Speaker 1: everybody can be the guy. And that was just a
Speaker 1: beautiful way to play.
Speaker 5: Just to pay back off that, I mean, I don't
Speaker 5: know if everybody know that, you know an NBA team,
Speaker 5: you spend more time with your teammates than you do
Speaker 5: your family. So we see each other every single day, right,
Speaker 5: and you don't get that feeling, you know, once you
Speaker 5: get up to the door and say, damn, I go
Speaker 5: to work again.
Speaker 4: I gotta go in here again. Right.
Speaker 5: You had people who you wanted to play with, people
Speaker 5: who understood you, and that's what made it so special.
Speaker 1: Definitely, how we talked about the soft camera. Did you
Speaker 1: know that she was going to be the team statrician?
Speaker 1: Because you know some of your teammates. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, they lived a different life. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying in the kitchen.
Speaker 3: Hey, I mean guys you say didn't drink water, and
Speaker 3: what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, man, we had you guys. We had
Speaker 4: guys that didn't drink water on our team.
Speaker 2: I'm like, you are an NBA basketball player. Your job
Speaker 2: is to run on the court. How do you not
Speaker 2: drink water?
Speaker 3: And like when did you start paying how taste?
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't like how it tastes. It tastes
Speaker 2: like water.
Speaker 1: Listen, you guys, one of them may or may not
Speaker 1: be on the stage, wouldn't drink water.
Speaker 6: They're getting like ivs before the game, like hooked up
Speaker 6: to an IV so they can play.
Speaker 4: I'm like, man, just drink this cup of water.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. I couldn't believe you. It was living like that, Paul.
Speaker 1: Oh Man, listen, man, legendary team Man, the city remembers
Speaker 1: you the city and braces your shots to everybody here,
Speaker 1: all here because of this very reason. Man, you might
Speaker 1: want to answer that text time tax. Then are we
Speaker 1: opening up to the crowd by chands? Okay, open up
Speaker 1: to the crowd. I have a couple of questions, a
Speaker 1: couple like questions before we get out of here. Anybody
Speaker 1: braving up? My man's no, yeah, you chans, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 7: Oh wow, it's on the way.
Speaker 2: It's on the way. Man, we're gonna play. We're gonna

Speaker 1: Yeah, we're starting to over under right now. Please PLA's
Speaker 1: your best dracton, gentlemen. And yes, sir, I could start
Speaker 1: it if you go look at our numbers how many
Speaker 1: minutes we played. We didn't play hot numbers of minutes
Speaker 1: like I think we played like twenty six a game
Speaker 1: I did like around that time. So, uh, Dennis shooter
Speaker 1: points it was great. Then yeah, I was kept then
Speaker 1: his shooter was great. Even Shovin mack Ken Baizmore came
Speaker 1: off that bench. It was a bunch of guys. Mike
Speaker 1: Scott my guy. They had amazing seasons like that whole year.
Speaker 1: Everybody played well and we all just wanted everybody to win.
Speaker 1: It was crazy, Like he said, we'd be on a
Speaker 1: plane playing, you know, and all that stuff. And those
Speaker 1: were my guys. I mean, me and Dennis we.
Speaker 2: Used to go out of it a little bit, but
Speaker 2: other than that, we love it. I love those guys.
Speaker 6: Dennis was like, because we were all a pretty steady group, right, Yeah,
Speaker 6: Like Dennis was like the little brother that you needed
Speaker 6: to get under your skin, agitate you, yeah, get you going.
Speaker 4: And it was he was a super important part of
Speaker 4: We needed it right.
Speaker 6: We needed guys like that. We need a guy like
Speaker 6: Elton Brand and Pariantage and Michael Schala and I mean
Speaker 6: there's so many guys who starting their role for for
Speaker 6: that group and we're about the team.
Speaker 4: It's a long list that was. It was a It
Speaker 4: was a great group.
Speaker 2: Definitely jump in the back. Yes, sir, I've seen Budd
Speaker 2: at a concert.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: He used to take his kids to all the concerts.
Speaker 1: Here and I've seen him and uh, they were having
Speaker 1: a good time. He didn't know any of the songs,
