Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, that's that's That's an amazing story.
Speaker 2: I know everybody else had you know it that he's
Speaker 2: talking about, But it's such an amazing story because I
Speaker 2: remember when Vince messed with me. It was like, I was,
Speaker 2: he messed with me, and then he caught me, you know,
Speaker 2: pumping sulling crack. So he was like, yo, man, I'm
Speaker 2: not messing with you. No more than he went and
Speaker 2: had a he had an actual tournament in Coney Allen
Speaker 2: and the boys that he had.
Speaker 1: Hired the higher we ain't getting paid shit.
Speaker 2: But you know the people that he actually you know,
Speaker 2: had on the team at the time, they were scared
Speaker 2: of these Coney Island boys.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. They was like, and then
Speaker 1: Vince came back.
Speaker 2: And said, Yo, I'm gonna put you back on the team.
Speaker 2: But if you you know what I mean, like, and
Speaker 2: that's how I learned how to play ball. That's why again,
Speaker 2: I said, and I love my life. I used to
Speaker 2: play ball of events show I handled the pill trying
Speaker 2: to be like you though, Yeah, yeah, you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying, Like this is real ship, Like this is
Speaker 2: real ship.
Speaker 1: One of the I'm gonna put you all on.
Speaker 2: Before because I got to get to the Bobby Curly.
Speaker 1: Yeah you know what, man, Man, Yeah, but you're killed.
Speaker 1: I had to. Man, you want to take it there
Speaker 1: right now?
Speaker 3: You want to because we're doing my documentary. Bob doing
Speaker 3: some stuff I talked about. He's coaching at Arizona State University.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's my man.
Speaker 3: But you know, when he was in college, you know,
Speaker 3: we was, you know, in New York, I was the
Speaker 3: number one point guard.
Speaker 1: Yes, and then in New Jersey he was also All
Speaker 1: City for like four years straight.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then he was people don't know. Bob Hurley
Speaker 3: was nice. Bob Hurley was the number one guard in
Speaker 3: New Jersey. So we're in the metropolitan area. So every
Speaker 3: time I had to you know, me and him was
Speaker 3: always talked about. But when we got to college, you know,
Speaker 3: I just you know, I don't know the word jealous.
Speaker 3: I was envy because he was with the Duke and
Speaker 3: they won a lot. It wasn't so much about talent, you.
Speaker 2: Know, I was going to get it Georgia Tech. I
Speaker 2: just dominantly black anybody and not in Georgia Tech. Georgia
Speaker 2: Tech is like.
Speaker 3: Filipino, Asian Philipino. We just down the block from Sport,
Speaker 3: Spellman More House all that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Nah, I thought at that time Atlanta was all black.
Speaker 3: Atlanta was mostly black, but not Georgia Tech. That's a
Speaker 3: that's an engineer school. It's hard ship that they put
Speaker 3: it on the board. You think you're looking at Chinese.
Speaker 3: You know that's hard. You know that's a very educated school.
Speaker 3: But nah, but me and Bobby went at it. I
Speaker 3: just always wanted to destroy him and do good against him,
Speaker 3: because for one to destroyers.
Speaker 1: Because he knows that.
Speaker 3: Because I wasn't, like I said, it wasn't jealous envy
Speaker 3: because they won so much at do they just want
Speaker 3: I didn't have that much talent year in and year
Speaker 3: out to compete with his teams. So I wanted to
Speaker 3: do better than him individually. But that's my man. He's
Speaker 3: a fears competitor. He wanted the best point guards ever
Speaker 3: to play college ball, and that night I was just
Speaker 3: on one. You know when we played that move, you know,
Speaker 3: I just you know, I just off instinct. I played
Speaker 3: on instinct. Man, I couldn't. I couldn't do that move
Speaker 3: if you told me to do it just normally.
Speaker 1: It's got it. I play off instinct. That's what. That's
Speaker 1: just what I'm about.
Speaker 6: That was your favorite team you ever played on?
Speaker 3: Well, my only you know, NBA was great. You know
Speaker 3: I played in the NBA. I say NBA was awesome
Speaker 3: for me because it had the infrastructure to take care
Speaker 3: of my mother, take care of me and my mother
Speaker 3: out to struggle. But my first six years playing basketball
Speaker 3: at Molloy in Georgia Tech is the best years of
Speaker 3: my life.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not taking nothing away from the NBA.
Speaker 3: For the NBA, that's true story.
Speaker 1: You know the NBA.
Speaker 3: Don't get me wrong. Everybody you know, see and this
Speaker 3: is what I talk about in my diet. Everybody couldn't
Speaker 3: celebrate the way I celebrated at ten years old. I
Speaker 3: was a child prodigy. So some people get it late.
Speaker 3: I got it early, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 3: my NBA care was solid, but it's not when money
Speaker 3: comes involved. It's a lot of politics involved that I
Speaker 3: have no control over. But I love my team New
Speaker 3: Jersey Nets, Boston Celtics, and the Portland Trailblazer. Those three
Speaker 3: teams I put my handprints one.
Speaker 1: I can't just my argument.
Speaker 3: I can't Metropolitan area, man. I gotta give it to
Speaker 3: my Nets because the Metropolitan Area and it started my
Speaker 3: career with the Nets. Willis Reed was the GM, the
Speaker 3: great New York Knicks. He was the GM at the time.
Speaker 3: He drafted me number two man number two over nineteen
Speaker 3: ninety one. I gotta give him love my man. Derrick
Speaker 3: Coleman still what hell me? He's probably.
Speaker 1: You look like Derreck Coleman right now. Dream.
Speaker 2: I'm just sorry, yo.
Speaker 3: This is a true statement for me and I played
Speaker 3: with some great plays. Derek Coleman is the best player
Speaker 3: I ever played with. Ever, how much much talent? Six
Speaker 3: eleven do everything? He's off the change.
Speaker 1: This is a fact. Now, who's the best player you
Speaker 1: ever played against? Oh?
Speaker 3: Alan Iverson Man, I got little dude was a beast.
Speaker 6: I felt like Alan kind of like took after you.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he uh maybe, but no, he
Speaker 1: was more.
Speaker 3: Of a h How can I say it more of
Speaker 3: a scorer, more of a I'm more of a point guard,
Speaker 3: pure point guard.
Speaker 1: You know, that's what I came into.
Speaker 3: But uh, you know, he was a beast man, and
Speaker 3: I think everything everything lined up right for him. That's
Speaker 3: like it's another thing. You know, he got the right
Speaker 3: team around him. You see it late in his career,
Speaker 3: he couldn't do the things he could do because he
Speaker 3: wasn't getting the ball, He wasn't getting the minutes.
Speaker 6: Because doing a lot, doing a lot like it was.
Speaker 3: At Philadelphia, Philadelphia team for ten years or so how
Speaker 3: long it was.
Speaker 1: It build around him. So he was able to do
Speaker 1: all of that.
Speaker 3: And the NBA that's what has to happen for you,
Speaker 3: because a lot of guys got talent. But if the
Speaker 3: team is not centering around you and you're not in.
Speaker 1: A good you know, with a good coach.
Speaker 3: And you see when when he started, he couldn't play
Speaker 3: the same way. I'm gonna started dropping, everything started coming out.
Speaker 1: He don't like to practice. Now he hang out tomorrow.
Speaker 1: He drinks a lot. Are we talking about practice? Yeah?
Speaker 3: But what about when he was you know, when he
Speaker 3: was balling, he was the same person. But you know,
Speaker 3: that's just how the lead is because a lot of
Speaker 3: politics and everything involved in it. So they keep everything
Speaker 3: on the rap. But you know what I mean, me,
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't look at it that way. You know,
Speaker 3: I had a great year. I got fourteen years in man,
Speaker 3: and I always tell my son and I always walk
Speaker 3: away with anybody.
Speaker 1: I told JB I be joking.
Speaker 3: I laid e body with the left, man, My left

Speaker 3: highest guard get in the East by fans. Take a
Speaker 3: million and two. That met the world of me. It
Speaker 3: wasn't coaches, wasn't nothing. That's that's what you know what
Speaker 3: I mean. I felt loved, I felt appreciative, like this
Speaker 3: Kennyannis and he finally arrived.
Speaker 1: So it's the same as you. I didn't care about
Speaker 1: the lead.
Speaker 3: I didn't care about like because if you don't make starters,
Speaker 3: you get the coaches. I was gonna get probably picked
Speaker 3: anyway by the coach. But the fans voted me all
Speaker 3: as a starter, right so that it was huge for me.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I got snubbed a few times that I should have
Speaker 3: made it, but whatever, you know what I mean, that's life.

Speaker 2: Vagina Dina. So there was left Rack was sitting around.
Speaker 2: That's my brother, Cannelly. I love him to help me sustained.
Speaker 2: But I seem to disconnect. I've seen people like you know,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. They related, but they related
Speaker 2: as much as they could.
Speaker 1: But and and and and in.
Speaker 2: All honestly, some people were Kenny Smith, that's that's my
Speaker 2: brother too. But some people say Kenny Smith was from
Speaker 2: Brooklyn and.
Speaker 1: Then he moved. No, he's from left Rack, but he
Speaker 1: a lot. You didn't see him a lot. But that's
Speaker 1: the only difference. But we see me every every day.
Speaker 3: Because I'm going out my mom whatever, I'm going out
Speaker 3: to see my man. I might go see my man.
Speaker 3: J me, Man, give me fifty dollars. Man, I need
Speaker 3: something to eat. I mean this, I need that. But
Speaker 3: you know what against me, and it's gonna it's always.
Speaker 3: I think somebody too think came up to me in
Speaker 3: New York, say you the people's champ and that shit
Speaker 3: hit my heart. It was like, we don't care about
Speaker 3: all that politics, this, that and the other. You the
Speaker 3: People's champ, and it hit me and I said, wow,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, And I remember that it was.
Speaker 1: It was a woman. She's like, you just keep it,
Speaker 1: you know you. I don't keep it one hundred percent.
Speaker 3: I keep it real enough, but you could touch me,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean when I was you know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, I really didn't care about all that
Speaker 3: other nonsense. But those kids in the generator right now,
Speaker 3: those kids in the hood, they need hope, They need
Speaker 3: somebody like me, Like that's the later I came up
Speaker 3: through alcoholics, drug addicts, this that and the other other stuff.
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna get deep into what it is what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I came to the I came up, So they.
Speaker 3: Need to hear that to say, you know, Dick Slexia
Speaker 3: went to Archbishop.
Speaker 1: Maloya High School dyslexic. I'mlex I was. My next album
Speaker 1: is gonna be called Dyslexia.
Speaker 2: That just like yah, yah, we have this listen.
Speaker 3: Y'all, can you have the whole joint you have to
Speaker 3: cover backwards?
Speaker 10: Yeah, people don't believe this.
Speaker 3: Man, Yo, my man, God bless Vincent Smith. He took
Speaker 3: me to all these prep classes. I didn't have it
Speaker 3: on a high level. So I'm able to if they
Speaker 3: gave me more time with the test. I see letters
Speaker 3: and little words, I'll be all flipped out to.
Speaker 1: To this day. I'm like, you know, you just lead
Speaker 1: or something like lead or it was.
Speaker 3: I might sometimes real quick and put the s I'm
Speaker 3: smell it backwards real quick and I have to change it.
Speaker 1: So that's the.
Speaker 3: Numbers and all that is different. But I got it
Speaker 3: on a small total pole. But what I was saying
Speaker 3: is these kids need to know that the struggleshold the struggle.
Speaker 4: But let me let me ask both y'all something, because
Speaker 4: to both y'all, yeah, what do you say to people
Speaker 4: that say the hood needs more than at least the kids,
Speaker 4: the youth needs more than to think they could be
Speaker 4: basketball players and rappers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, like that needs to be addressed. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I agree with that, But the problem is that's what
Speaker 2: we're attracted to. But we're attracted to probably might not
Speaker 2: be basketball or might not even be rappers.
Speaker 1: It's what comes with that.
Speaker 2: I would you know, like like I see doctors like
Speaker 2: people were attracted live I live, yeah, but I lived
Speaker 2: by doctors like I lived my whole time living in Miami.
Speaker 2: I lived by doctors like except fone. When I was
Speaker 2: in Kindle, I never met my neighbors, but yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I definitely met my neighbors like I walked through him
Speaker 2: days like.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
Speaker 2: But when I lived in a diplomat, my actual the
Speaker 2: person I shared a floor with was a doctor.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So I think that in the hood, we got to
Speaker 2: start making that more popular. But again, people who are
Speaker 2: doctors got to come back to gotta.
Speaker 3: I gotta think about that when I go speak sometimes.
Speaker 3: You know, I got my guy, my business partner JB.
Speaker 3: You know, real estate buff, business buff.
Speaker 1: You know know his business. I'll take him.
Speaker 3: We gotta take the god like you go you rap,
Speaker 3: take one of your doctor friends.
Speaker 1: Your lawyer friends, come talk to these kids. This is
Speaker 1: what he do.
Speaker 3: He takes care of my business contracts like you was
Speaker 3: coaching at one point, you know what I mean. He
Speaker 3: was coaching high school, high school down here, Jewish Day School.
Speaker 1: Post.
Speaker 3: I love y'all man, y'all listening man, Jewish day School.
Speaker 1: All my friends is Jewish, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I got a lot of not all, I got a
Speaker 1: lot of Jewish friends.
Speaker 4: Money or even teaching the youth, everything that goes along
Speaker 4: with the apparatus of industry.
Speaker 1: What's behind the rapper? You got the lawyers, you got
Speaker 1: the managers. What's behind the basketball player? Agents? You got coaches.
Speaker 3: You gotta they gotta realize that. They got to understand that.
Speaker 3: But you gotta, you know, you gotta let them know that.
Speaker 3: It's if you don't have to be a basketball player,
Speaker 3: a rapper or baseball player. You could be a lawyer.
Speaker 3: You can or you can work for the NBA.
Speaker 5: You can work, or you can have or you can
Speaker 5: have a regular good job. And that's okay too. That's
Speaker 5: that's sometimes where.
Speaker 1: I think, that's problems being dismissed. Fact that kids. Sometimes
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back with it's attractions. See the video,
Speaker 1: the video the rap going home.
Speaker 3: Back in the days, I used to be like some
Speaker 3: of them cars wasn't eating them cats calling the facade
Speaker 3: with some of those kids believe that the same thing.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing with the NBA.
Speaker 2: It's just like at the end of the day, some
Speaker 2: people think that's easier and they.
Speaker 1: Don't see that the blisters.
Speaker 5: They don't see that when they see the number one
Speaker 5: record that he just made.
Speaker 1: It.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly like people tell me, like, you know, French
Speaker 2: is my homeboy.
Speaker 6: People like, yo, I want to be an old night.
Speaker 1: Success like French. I said his ships it was a
Speaker 1: cameraman man take ten years. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4: that we know about the documentary and.
Speaker 1: Big of me a documentary. How did the documentary come about?
Speaker 3: Well, you know, all these dots was coming out like
Speaker 3: three years ago in a company Scottscraper Film came at me.

Speaker 3: They came and shadowed me here in Florida, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean. We did a lot of good things,
Speaker 3: and it's just on my life. And then, you know,
Speaker 3: my mother's rolling in a grave because you know, she
Speaker 3: named me Chibs.
Speaker 1: She named me Chips. Five days old, my name was
Speaker 1: Chibs and.
Speaker 3: I didn't know my name was Kenneth until kindergarten. She
Speaker 3: registrated when she registered me in kindergarten. And then when
Speaker 3: I came home, Left Fraight, my sisters, my brothers, my cousin.
Speaker 3: Left Frat was the first eight. It grew on everybody,
Speaker 3: so everybody started messing with it. Chip up, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, my name is.
