<v Speaker 4>and my fucker started going crazy. Okay, them is them

0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 4>is American people on American soil.

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 3>Correct. The guy was from Texas. Uh, he was here

0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:52.159
<v Speaker 3>legally serving in the army and the ore uh and

0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:55.640
<v Speaker 3>uh for our military and uh and and so did

0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:56.880
<v Speaker 3>the guy in Vegas as well.

0:00:57.360 --> 0:00:59.959
<v Speaker 2>When I say when I say y'all, I don't mean

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 2>like you.

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 4>I'm just saying like because you you know, you were

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:05.040
<v Speaker 4>part of the government.

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:07.479
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, man, do.

0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:10.040
<v Speaker 4>You go and talk to them motherfuckers and be like

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 4>giving them speeches and shit too.

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 3>Well, one thing we did talk right after the incident occurred,

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.760
<v Speaker 3>our Office of Emergency Services reached out because we were

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:20.200
<v Speaker 3>concerned that those things were connected, and there was a

0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:24.119
<v Speaker 3>lot of evidence in the early part of the investigation

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:26.320
<v Speaker 3>that was the case. They both had served in the

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 3>similar military base, both were vets, both went to the

0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:34.960
<v Speaker 3>same car service, and both rented cars, different vehicles, different locations.

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 3>But there was concern that this was coordinated all across

0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:41.760
<v Speaker 3>the country, and that concern extended to California, and so

0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:44.040
<v Speaker 3>we put together our Office Emergency Service. We had a

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:48.080
<v Speaker 3>quick meeting and we were sharing intelligence information and there

0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:52.360
<v Speaker 3>was early concern, just full disclosure that they absolutely were connected.

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:54.360
<v Speaker 3>It was, to your point, a little coincidental.

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.200
<v Speaker 4>But did they come from it because I want to say,

0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 4>I heard that they came from the same base.

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they had served in the same base as well,

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 3>So I mean a lot of those things. If that,

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.640
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that's next level coincidence. But on the basis

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.079
<v Speaker 3>of what we've been told so far and what I've

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:13.239
<v Speaker 3>been told as well, that there isn't at this moment,

0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 3>again the investigations in its early stages, any evidence to

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:19.640
<v Speaker 3>bear that out. But one thing was of concern and

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.960
<v Speaker 3>Marshanos where you were, Uh, well, you may not have

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:24.600
<v Speaker 3>been concerned about it at the time. You were at

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 3>the game down there at the rose Ball, and there

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:30.480
<v Speaker 3>was concern this maybe because the proximity in in New

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 3>Orleans that there was concern about other large scale events

0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 3>and particularly the rose Ball. And so we had assess

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 3>in real time, uh, based upon the intelligence and then

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 3>what the FBI was providing us, whether or not it

0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 3>was safe to continue govin.

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.120
<v Speaker 1>It's just like, is this like Armageddon where there's thousand

0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:51.120
<v Speaker 1>TVs and there's phones and there's there's like analysts.

0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 5>Is this is this? Is this the room you're in?

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:55.919
<v Speaker 3>If I, well, that's the route I wasn't. I wasn't

0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 3>up in Sacramento at the time. So it's the obvious

0:02:57.919 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 3>emergency service and that what they call the stack, which

0:02:59.880 --> 0:03:04.120
<v Speaker 3>is back. Basically, it's a state emergency center. And it

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:06.840
<v Speaker 3>looks exactly like you you would see and exactly as

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:08.680
<v Speaker 3>you described. I mean, it looks like sort of a

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:12.680
<v Speaker 3>mini NASA center with screens everywhere and data and.

0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 1>And and people drinking cokes and candy and Red bulls.

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 3>All of the above, and all the law enforcement, all

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.880
<v Speaker 3>the different agencies coming together in federal local states.

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:26.080
<v Speaker 4>So they'll hit you and they're like, okay, so they

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.239
<v Speaker 4>let you know that they're gonna take precaution and ship right.

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, what what does that look like? Because I'm

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.880
<v Speaker 2>because now I don't. I don't.

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 4>I don't think I got that much pool. Yeah, I mean,

0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't say that I'm one of them guys. But

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 4>when I got to the game, right, yeah, I mean

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 4>I drive up and the driver tell the people like,

0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 4>oh yeah, uh no, we're just.

0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 2>Gonna go in here.

0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna just drop him off, you know, and they like,

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 4>what you mean you're gonna drop him off? But oh yeah,

0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 4>I got one of the uh you know, one of

0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 4>the guys in here, and they let us in and

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.839
<v Speaker 4>they let us right where the team buses.

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 3>Was no security check, nothing.

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 4>No, I mean, no credentials, and I meant, get my

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:27.720
<v Speaker 4>fucking ticket. I'm telling you, I'm calling, Uh, I'm calling

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 4>Doug at the.

0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.599
<v Speaker 3>Date you had a regular Huber driver or something.

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:35.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm just saying I'm calling Doug at the gate like, hey,

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 4>what's up with a ticket and something?

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 2>You feel me like, I'm good?

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:43.159
<v Speaker 4>Walking back behind where the where the team busses at

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.320
<v Speaker 4>you know what I mean, family bus, team bus where

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:48.920
<v Speaker 4>we because that's where we used to come in when uh,

0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.839
<v Speaker 4>when we played at the Rose Bowl. And then when

0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:56.039
<v Speaker 4>you think and you're like, yeah, okay, we debrief with

0:04:56.160 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 4>the FBI, they saying this, we takeing uh precaution and shit.

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 4>And then you say, well, how the fuck do you

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:09.279
<v Speaker 4>go and do some crazy shit like this, blase whatever.

0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.239
<v Speaker 4>Then you've got all this new technology and all these

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.720
<v Speaker 4>security measures, and then you know, you just come up

0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:20.680
<v Speaker 4>in an unmarked car with an unmarked, unmarked celebrity.

0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.200
<v Speaker 2>And you get to the fucking team bus.

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.120
<v Speaker 3>Is like, no, you're exposing a weakness. I mean, by

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:27.839
<v Speaker 3>the way, it's not just the weakness that a rose

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.240
<v Speaker 3>ball as an example, it's a perfect example your example.

0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 3>But remember Doug a few years ago, right after nine

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 3>to eleven, we're out there at the super Bowl and

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 3>you're walking in without tickets, bringing five or say. It

0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 3>was supposed to be the most secure super Bowl in history,

0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.560
<v Speaker 3>and we walked in. There's only a couple of us

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 3>with tickets. I was like, why who? These folks behind

0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:46.000
<v Speaker 3>us didn't even have damn tickets.

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.120
<v Speaker 2>They follow the train follow by the way.

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:53.600
<v Speaker 3>Sean, how about the security that didn't exist for Doug

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.120
<v Speaker 3>and I to go down at the Super Bowl your

0:05:56.160 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 3>Super Bowl for me? You in the locker room. Neither

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.640
<v Speaker 3>of us had credentials, Neither of us were supposed to

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.200
<v Speaker 3>go down there. We didn't have law enforcement. We just

0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:08.720
<v Speaker 3>went down on the power of persuasion, Doug's persuasion in

0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:09.279
<v Speaker 3>this case.

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.720
<v Speaker 5>That's school grades right there.

0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.200
<v Speaker 3>Got Yeah, so you got emotional intelligence, if you know,

0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:19.680
<v Speaker 3>based upon the lack of historical dinosaur intelligence.

0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:20.560
<v Speaker 5>By the way, we were rocking.

0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:22.599
<v Speaker 1>I was rocking right past Belichick after you won, and

0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:24.360
<v Speaker 1>we could you know, I mean, you're right, there's no

0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.680
<v Speaker 1>security down there. But anyways, Morshawn, that's a great valid point, Gavin.

0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.600
<v Speaker 1>So all this army, geddon studios and stuff, how come

0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.599
<v Speaker 1>there's no more people on the ground.

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 3>Everybody's you know, people have to step up their game.

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:39.279
<v Speaker 3>And look, had he had the the the president elect

0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:42.599
<v Speaker 3>almost get assassinated. That's the bad security in the world. So,

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean, this is this whole area, this this this

0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:51.800
<v Speaker 3>is only highlighted, uh the profound importance of focusing on

0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:55.480
<v Speaker 3>security across the spectrum. And look, the big thing now.

0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:57.599
<v Speaker 3>Obviously after what happened a couple of days ago in

0:06:57.600 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 3>New Orleans, you got the super Bowl coming up in

0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 3>New Orleans, you got other large scale amount I was.

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.960
<v Speaker 4>Just I was just thinking about that, like, okay, if

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:08.760
<v Speaker 4>you do this with super Bowl in a month maybe

0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 4>a month away.

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:12.280
<v Speaker 1>The sad thing here, Marshaan is is the I was

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 1>talking to Cam Jordan, one of my clients in the

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Saints we all know, uh, and I asked him how

0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:19.520
<v Speaker 1>New Orleans was doing right now. He said, literally, it

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:23.720
<v Speaker 1>was almost like nothing happened. We're numb to this Gavin

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:25.720
<v Speaker 1>right now. And that's a sad thing. Let's put this

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:29.040
<v Speaker 1>in context. This guy ran his car over fifteen, killed

0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:32.760
<v Speaker 1>fifteen people, injured thirty five people, and literally, I think

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:36.080
<v Speaker 1>the bar is state it was almost like we're numb

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:37.600
<v Speaker 1>to the fact, which is the scary part.

0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:38.280
<v Speaker 2>No really yet.

0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the Notre Dame Georgia game, you know, shortly thereafter

0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.040
<v Speaker 3>and everybody's back to your point, I mean, which, look,

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:45.960
<v Speaker 3>we have to move forward. So I mean I appreciate

0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:49.200
<v Speaker 3>the resilience. That's a great mindset in terms of you know,

0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:53.239
<v Speaker 3>just being empowered and emboldened and not being sidetracked because

0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 3>that was the intention of this. It wasn't just the victims,

0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.080
<v Speaker 3>those direct victims. It was impact. It was to create

0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.560
<v Speaker 3>these conversations that we're having out more anxiety about who

0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.559
<v Speaker 3>we are and our ability to live in advance together.

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.240
<v Speaker 3>But so I thought that's important. But your point is

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 3>the point you do get numb by. I mean these

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.560
<v Speaker 3>mass shootings, we've gotten numbed by it. I'm still, by

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 3>the way, not over in Marshaun boy. One of these

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 3>days I should share it with you in appropriate setting

0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:20.320
<v Speaker 3>the Buffalo shooting, and you know you played in Buffalo.

0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:22.520
<v Speaker 3>But and the reason I bring it up in the

0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:26.400
<v Speaker 3>football context, this is a young kid with two parents

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.200
<v Speaker 3>that said on the spectrum he was pretty progressive guy.

0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 3>Wasn't a conservative guy. He says, my parents were amazing parents.

0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.560
<v Speaker 3>People liked me. I wasn't bullied. I was a good

0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 3>student in high school. And he literally does a Q

0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:44.720
<v Speaker 3>and A of what he did. He basically asks every

0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.800
<v Speaker 3>question you would have as to why the hell did

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.360
<v Speaker 3>he kill all these innocent people in a grocery store,

0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.400
<v Speaker 3>why he targeted the black community, and he goes through it.

0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:56.640
<v Speaker 3>There's page after page, dozens and dozens of pages of

0:08:56.720 --> 0:09:00.559
<v Speaker 3>every conceivable question you can ask as to why, and

0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:07.080
<v Speaker 3>he rationally ratches it up his sort of his capacity

0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:10.480
<v Speaker 3>to understand as he went to your point, deeper and

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:14.640
<v Speaker 3>deeper into darkness of the internet, and he said he

0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:18.360
<v Speaker 3>got clarity and light and started to understand, you know,

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 3>and the anti Semitism was next level, and then the

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.960
<v Speaker 3>black community starts, and then he starts getting into birth rates,

0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:31.600
<v Speaker 3>and then all this insane stuff except rationally insane that

0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:35.080
<v Speaker 3>led him to the act. And the challenge for me

0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:37.760
<v Speaker 3>reading that is why the hell hasn't everybody right not

0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.160
<v Speaker 3>reading that to understand what's going on? Why isn't that

0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.720
<v Speaker 3>shared with with people in positions of power that it's

0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.560
<v Speaker 3>not shared with law enforcement? It is I talked to

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:47.959
<v Speaker 3>every elected official. I've not met one other elected official

0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 3>that read that. And by the way, it almost is

0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:55.240
<v Speaker 3>verbatim the christ Church guy down in New Zealand that

0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:57.640
<v Speaker 3>he was, by the way, inspired by It's a contagion

0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.719
<v Speaker 3>that persists and exists and continues to this day. It's

0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:03.760
<v Speaker 3>not a one off event, just like this may not

0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 3>be a one off event. The fear is this sort

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.520
<v Speaker 3>of isis inspired event. And by the way, they have

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:15.360
<v Speaker 3>a playbook for precisely this kind of activity, meaning how

0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:19.240
<v Speaker 3>you persist with a car and how you go into

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:22.200
<v Speaker 3>crowds and then what happens if your car stops. I mean,

0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:26.880
<v Speaker 3>they literally lay out a toolkit for doing these things.

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.960
<v Speaker 3>So it's a legitimate concern, is the point. But my

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:33.360
<v Speaker 3>concern is Doug's point, which is we tend to move on,

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:36.599
<v Speaker 3>turn the page, and there's a normalization of what I

0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:40.800
<v Speaker 3>would say of deviancy, meaning we've normalized the abnormal, and

0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:45.000
<v Speaker 3>we've become to numb, and we're starting to accept stuff

0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:47.360
<v Speaker 3>in the past we would never accept.

0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:01.319
<v Speaker 1>We're joined by a Hall of Fame, a top seventy

0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:04.120

<v Speaker 3>You didn't even get into his high school stats twenty five,

0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:28.200
<v Speaker 3>ten and seven. Doug, You didn't even know that, did you? Doug?

0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:29.559
<v Speaker 5>And I did know that. I used to go to

0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:31.440
<v Speaker 5>Jason's games back in the day. More gay me.

0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.440
<v Speaker 3>Just say, did did you have your bs? You remember

0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:37.120
<v Speaker 3>him there? Jason? You never saw a doug in the stands, man,

0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:37.600
<v Speaker 3>did you?

0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.040
<v Speaker 6>I didn't see Dougie in the stands. I was too

0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:43.120
<v Speaker 6>focused on my opponent. Nah, you would have. No, you

0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:43.400
<v Speaker 6>would have.

0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:44.960
<v Speaker 2>You would have noticed him. I'm sorry.

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:46.679
<v Speaker 4>If he was at any of the games, you would

0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:52.120
<v Speaker 4>have noticed me. Wild ass white boy on the Why

0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:54.560
<v Speaker 4>is he on the court?

0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:56.679
<v Speaker 2>What the fuck is this dude talking to me at

0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.560
<v Speaker 2>the free throw mam? Hey, Nah, you gotta get back

0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:00.800
<v Speaker 2>in the stand. No, you can't.

0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Just want to, by the way, what everybody needs to understand.

0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:06.560
<v Speaker 1>And you know this, Gavin Morshawn, you weren't even probably

0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:07.040
<v Speaker 1>born yet.

0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:07.560
<v Speaker 5>You were younger.

0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:10.680
<v Speaker 1>But if there was n I l and there was

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 1>social media back in Jason Kid's days and Saint Joe's

0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:14.520
<v Speaker 1>forget about it.

0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 2>It was it was he was getting money.

0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.960
<v Speaker 6>It only had a sandwich. They had a turkey sandwich

0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:23.839
<v Speaker 6>in there. There was no green, There was no money

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 6>in there was just no you have some lettuce and

0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.440
<v Speaker 6>some broccoli. In that time, we had a little bit

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:29.560
<v Speaker 6>of extra you know.

0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.480
<v Speaker 3>Uh say it ain't so say it ain't so, See,

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.600
<v Speaker 3>Jason is going to be careful when the responding of that, Marshall.

0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:39.840
<v Speaker 2>I think, anna pass.

0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:42.880
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I think it's great for the sports of college

0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:46.720
<v Speaker 6>to be able to get paid. Unfortunately, Uh, Marshaun and

0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.320
<v Speaker 6>myself were not able to get paid.

0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Uh we had to wait to become professionals.

0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.360
<v Speaker 3>But Jason, seriously, I mean, do you I mean, is

0:12:56.360 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 3>this because I we Doug knows as well. I'm the

0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:02.880
<v Speaker 3>first nil bill in the United States. I did it

0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:03.839
<v Speaker 3>down with Lebron down.

0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:05.200
<v Speaker 2>You ain't gonna let nobody miss that.

0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:09.600
<v Speaker 3>Huh No, But no, I say it no with humility

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:15.240
<v Speaker 3>and recognition. This is not what I expected that. This

0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:17.960
<v Speaker 3>is not And this was only a few years ago. Yes,

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:19.680
<v Speaker 3>I mean the whole transfer portal.

0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:21.960
<v Speaker 2>That portal came and changed everything.

0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:24.800
<v Speaker 3>Everything changed. I mean, so as a coach, I'm wondering, Jason,

0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:26.880
<v Speaker 3>how does I mean, how do you? I mean just

0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.080
<v Speaker 3>the whole I mean, obviously you're not dealing directly with

0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:32.000
<v Speaker 3>it necessarily now, though the indirect impacts I imagine are

0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:35.080
<v Speaker 3>pretty pronounced. But from a coaching perspective, I mean, you

0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:38.640
<v Speaker 3>see these college players, dougs, dougs now in the nil business,

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.680
<v Speaker 3>as a as a as an agent, How the hell

0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:43.560
<v Speaker 3>do you build a culture? How do you how do

0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:46.320
<v Speaker 3>you lead an organization? I need great an organization, billbo.

0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.800
<v Speaker 6>I think what you did by signing that, recognizing that

0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.840
<v Speaker 6>you were the first to sign that is congratulations because

0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:54.760
<v Speaker 6>you were ahead of the game. I just think we

0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 6>needed some bumpers, some kind of guidance, some rules, another committee.

0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.240
<v Speaker 6>So because now they didn't think about the portal, the

0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:08.560
<v Speaker 6>portal has changed the game. You're recruiting. If someone scores,

0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:12.240
<v Speaker 6>you're recruiting. When he scores a touchdown or two points.

0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:17.240
<v Speaker 6>You are recruiting your same players and you can't treat

0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 6>them any differently because the portal is so wide open.

0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 6>But now you've got to understand there's other coaches recruiting

0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:28.760
<v Speaker 6>your own players while they're playing. And so yeah, it's tough.

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:30.920
<v Speaker 6>This is this is this is this is something that

0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:34.080
<v Speaker 6>has to be looked at where we don't affect the

0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:37.600
<v Speaker 6>business of money. I understand that, but I think the

0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:41.440
<v Speaker 6>recruiting if someone is playing quarterback and the other coach

0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:45.680
<v Speaker 6>is recruiting that quarterback, it's just not fair. And so

0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.640
<v Speaker 6>also we're teaching our kids, uh to go to the

0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:52.560
<v Speaker 6>highest bidder, and so I think there's got to be

0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:55.240
<v Speaker 6>a rule and I'm just guessing like a two year contract.

0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.400
<v Speaker 6>If the coach does leave, you have opportunity to leave.

0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.720
<v Speaker 6>But I think, again, we're signing these kids out of

0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:06.280
<v Speaker 6>high school. We're making a millionaires, which is great, but

0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:09.160
<v Speaker 6>is there some guidance of one how to keep that

0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:11.840
<v Speaker 6>money and two how to build that culture. I think

0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:14.040
<v Speaker 6>that's a great question about how do you build a

0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:18.240
<v Speaker 6>culture at cal because the players are leaving.

0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:20.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's interesting. I mean, you know, Doug, you've had

0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:23.720
<v Speaker 3>this direct experience right where you get these guys. Jason,

0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:25.840
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate what you said. Just one component of what

0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.800
<v Speaker 3>you said. I mean, here's a kid with a couple

0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:32.200
<v Speaker 3>of million bucks that has never had a checking account

0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.320
<v Speaker 3>or a savings account, that goes out, spends the money,

0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:38.240
<v Speaker 3>and Doug, you've had this experience. You've had clients or

0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:39.840
<v Speaker 3>folks that you've helped and then they go to the

0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:41.520
<v Speaker 3>end of the year say, dude, what do I do?

0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:44.280
<v Speaker 3>I got a three hundred thousand dollars IRS bill. How

0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:45.800
<v Speaker 3>the hell am I going to pay this? Well?

0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I know the biggest problem one hundred percent, right,

0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:50.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean these guys are it's ten ninety ninety income.

0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:51.800
<v Speaker 5>They think the money's going to keep rolling.

0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:55.080
<v Speaker 1>And it goes back to Moreshawn on your Get Got

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.200
<v Speaker 1>podcast More Sean about locking in the four to one

0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:01.000
<v Speaker 1>k's and financial literacy. If you guys like Jason, you

0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:03.720
<v Speaker 1>and Morshaw and these athletes will get into it and

0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.960
<v Speaker 1>help these schools and financial literacy programs things like that,

0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:09.520
<v Speaker 1>it's much needed. But now it goes to high schools.

0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Jason, this goes back to U sports too.

0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Your son is a great baseball player and you're seeing

0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.400
<v Speaker 1>it now in the U sports game too is evolved

0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:23.200
<v Speaker 1>in a crazy way with crazy parents, and how do

0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:24.120
<v Speaker 1>you look at that game too?

0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:27.200
<v Speaker 2>As far as the U Sports, I'm trying to learn that.

0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.720
<v Speaker 6>That's a great point. You have a class of maybe

0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:32.360
<v Speaker 6>the class of twenty eight is now that's a freshman

0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:38.080
<v Speaker 6>signing with an agency because they believe that nil can

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:41.240
<v Speaker 6>get them paid. And these are families who might not

0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.160
<v Speaker 6>have a lot of money and need the money. But

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:49.000
<v Speaker 6>we're making freshmen or sophomorees millionaires and they don't have

0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:53.440
<v Speaker 6>the capabilities of understanding, you know, there's a new family

0:16:53.440 --> 0:17:00.280
<v Speaker 6>member and Uncle Sam that you have to respect. Also

0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 6>just guidance because we're putting so much pressure. There's anxiety.

0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:08.160
<v Speaker 6>There's pressure for these young student athletes to be successful

0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.480
<v Speaker 6>because we're looked upon or they're looked upon as a

0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:15.119
<v Speaker 6>lottery ticket. And so the more we can talk about it,

0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:19.680
<v Speaker 6>the more that we can have groups of Marshawn and myself,

0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:22.440
<v Speaker 6>people who can go out and talk to these young kids,

0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:23.640
<v Speaker 6>it can only help.

0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.480
<v Speaker 3>Jason, I love bringing up just the pressure man, just

0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:31.120
<v Speaker 3>use sports. I mean, you guys are two iconic, extraordinary athletes.

0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.240
<v Speaker 3>I mean, do you do you feel like it's significantly

0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:37.480
<v Speaker 3>more pressure today that we're putting on kids and the

0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:39.679
<v Speaker 3>kind of pressure your parents put on the two of you.

0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:44.639
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I think just the social media. Marshawan probably is

0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:47.359
<v Speaker 6>a little bit more into that. I was more into

0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:50.399
<v Speaker 6>the newspaper. We've had to wait the next day for

0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:52.320
<v Speaker 6>the writer to write about it if we were good

0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:53.040
<v Speaker 6>or bad.

0:17:53.280 --> 0:18:00.240
<v Speaker 3>Read and so the chronicles, the green section of the chronicle.

0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:04.120
<v Speaker 6>That's right, the Oapen Tribune or the green section that's right,

0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:09.200
<v Speaker 6>and so and so. But today there's hearts, there's thumbs, uh,

0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:12.760
<v Speaker 6>you know, the d ms. Everybody is uh and the

0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:16.200
<v Speaker 6>biggest thing that we haven't talked about is the gambling aspect. Uh.

0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:19.240
<v Speaker 6>The people who can gamble can reach right out to

0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:22.479
<v Speaker 6>the athlete, which I don't think we've ever seen before.

0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:26.160
<v Speaker 3>What I mean is that something the players are talking

0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.400
<v Speaker 3>about today? Is that some in the locker room. That's

0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:29.440
<v Speaker 3>part of the conversation.

0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:33.439
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, because you got athletes, you know, you got players

0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:34.919
<v Speaker 6>who will get the DM.

0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:36.639
<v Speaker 5>What are you showing it, sir Marshan?

0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:39.760
<v Speaker 3>Marshan? What what Marshaan is shown in an old article

0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:41.520
<v Speaker 3>the first time you're in the newspaper?

0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:47.440
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I got to come up underneath that cloth too.

0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:53.960
<v Speaker 3>By the way, But Doug, isn't that a great precious thing? Man?

0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:56.560
<v Speaker 3>Here's Marshawan and Jason. I bet you still have you.

0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:59.520
<v Speaker 3>I bet your parents still have the boxes of all

0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:02.080
<v Speaker 3>those old articles. And there's a precious man versus the

0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:05.399
<v Speaker 3>ten million damn things that go online that disappear in

0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:07.600
<v Speaker 3>a nanosecond, that have no real value.

0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:12.919
<v Speaker 6>Now, we valued the newspaper. Uh, it was gold.

0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Cow Sport cat with it, the cow high Sport. That's right,

0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:18.760
<v Speaker 2>that's your right. You want to know where I've.

0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.520
<v Speaker 4>Gotta go year, I gotta go. Yeah, with that thing, yeah.

0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:24.080
<v Speaker 4>Go look at the Oakland Tribune. We get that little

0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:25.720
<v Speaker 4>Oakland column OAE.

0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:26.600
<v Speaker 2>That's right.

0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:31.640
<v Speaker 6>And so today you have fake news. You got everyone

0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:35.720
<v Speaker 6>has their opinion, and so I feel that the kids

0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:40.720
<v Speaker 6>need role models a lot more than ever today because

0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:43.439
<v Speaker 6>there's so many people who are talking are betting on

0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:45.679
<v Speaker 6>them to fail or be successful.

0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Jason, take me through the pride you and where

0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Sean had as far as kids growing up in Oakland,

0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:54.280
<v Speaker 1>with the history of Oakland athletes and Bill Russell and

0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:57.000
<v Speaker 1>everything else. And take me through the pride you had

0:19:57.080 --> 0:20:00.520
<v Speaker 1>then and even now when you're walking the country about

0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:03.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, being from Oakland and and and the legacy

0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:05.720
<v Speaker 1>and the history there of you and more.

0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:06.000
<v Speaker 5>Shawn.

0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:09.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I think just growing up in Oakland, I got

0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:12.400
<v Speaker 6>lucky to have an older brother, a couple of them,

0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:16.040
<v Speaker 6>be Shaw and Gary Payton, and then to be able

0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:17.840
<v Speaker 6>to play for Gary Payton's dad.

0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:18.440
<v Speaker 2>Mister mean.

0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:22.800
<v Speaker 6>Uh, but when you had the role models, when you

0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:26.800
<v Speaker 6>talk about Bill Russell, Paul Silas, Ricky Henderson.

0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Uh. Base Yes, yes, you know.

0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:35.560
<v Speaker 6>We we played not just basketball, we played football, we

0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:38.760
<v Speaker 6>played baseball. We tried to play them all because we

0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:42.400
<v Speaker 6>had great icons in the Bay Area and so uh

0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:45.359
<v Speaker 6>to be able to look up to when Purva Short,

0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:48.280
<v Speaker 6>Sleepy Floyd was playing at Golden State, you know, those

0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:50.159
<v Speaker 6>were those were the guys that we looked up to

0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:53.960
<v Speaker 6>and went to camp and was you know, that's that

0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:55.840
<v Speaker 6>was the dream I wanted to play. I want I

0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:58.320
<v Speaker 6>went to Purvas Shorts camp and wanted to be an

0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:01.960
<v Speaker 6>NBA player, and he started that dream for me.

0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:05.280
<v Speaker 3>I love that, by the way. Just I mean going

0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:07.720
<v Speaker 3>back at that time, you know you're making a point

0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:11.240
<v Speaker 3>that kort Of reinforces the point I'm making or inquiring

0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:13.840
<v Speaker 3>about as it relates to youth sports. Now, everybody has

0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:16.560
<v Speaker 3>to drill down on one, one decision one sport. It's

0:21:16.680 --> 0:21:19.639
<v Speaker 3>year round. You had the ability to develop as Marshaan

0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:21.240
<v Speaker 3>did is well. I saw it by the way we

0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:23.680
<v Speaker 3>saw Marshauna in the baseball field. I was like, can't

0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:26.719
<v Speaker 3>be true this guy was playing shortstop that he was pitching.

0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:29.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, what the hell is this like? Next level?

0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:32.440
<v Speaker 3>No bs? I was, I forget his football.

0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:33.000
<v Speaker 2>I was.

0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:35.879
<v Speaker 3>I was blown away on the baseball. But that's not

0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:38.320
<v Speaker 3>the case with these kids anymore, right, Jason. They're just

0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:40.720
<v Speaker 3>developing one sport, but they're not developing all these other

0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:41.720
<v Speaker 3>skills in the process.

0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:44.680
<v Speaker 6>Right, Yeah, I agree with you, Gavin. I think when

0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:47.040
<v Speaker 6>you look at having the opportunity to play on a

0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:50.840
<v Speaker 6>different surface, being with your friends, even if you're not

0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:53.920
<v Speaker 6>as good in the one sport, just to be able

0:21:54.000 --> 0:22:00.280
<v Speaker 6>to develop relationships, develop other motor skills, see things differently.

0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:04.800
<v Speaker 6>And unfortunately today it's just one coach, one sport and

0:22:04.920 --> 0:22:07.480
<v Speaker 6>max out and hope you don't get hurt and that

0:22:07.560 --> 0:22:09.840
<v Speaker 6>you get drafted or you get it. Now it's just

0:22:09.880 --> 0:22:11.240
<v Speaker 6>about getting the nil deal.

0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:12.440
<v Speaker 2>And uh.

0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:17.040
<v Speaker 6>And so I thought playing soccer, playing other sports, you

0:22:17.160 --> 0:22:20.199
<v Speaker 6>got to be able to use different body parts and

0:22:20.240 --> 0:22:24.639
<v Speaker 6>develop and that helped you become the player in basketball

0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:25.760
<v Speaker 6>or football that you are.

0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:28.520
<v Speaker 3>Marshaw when you were growing up in Oakland. I appreciate

0:22:28.880 --> 0:22:32.359
<v Speaker 3>you mentioned I'm smiling because I mean saying that, Doug

0:22:32.440 --> 0:22:36.959
<v Speaker 3>you as well. Right, all these all these iconic athletes

0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:40.600
<v Speaker 3>that were legends, heroes in our eyes. Marshawn, you remember

0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:42.919
<v Speaker 3>any of that stuff, the camps, the first camps you

0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:45.959
<v Speaker 3>went to. I mean, Jason talks about being inspired to

0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:48.399
<v Speaker 3>be an NBA player by one of the camps. You

0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:51.080
<v Speaker 3>remember going anything when you're a kid that just made

0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:52.600
<v Speaker 3>you just change your mindset.

0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:57.920
<v Speaker 4>No, So especially when I was growing up, like that's

0:22:57.960 --> 0:23:01.080
<v Speaker 4>when you know those camp you had to you had

0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:04.080
<v Speaker 4>to pay to a ten those camp, and it was

0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:07.040
<v Speaker 4>like if you go to a camp, then you cutting

0:23:07.080 --> 0:23:09.920
<v Speaker 4>into you know, I mean your money that you got

0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:11.720
<v Speaker 4>for the feed that you need to go and play

0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:14.840
<v Speaker 4>for your sport. So I mean I would trying things

0:23:14.960 --> 0:23:20.240
<v Speaker 4>like play for like boys and girls clubs because AAU

0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:25.720
<v Speaker 4>at the time was expensive as fuck. So I mean,

0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:27.720
<v Speaker 4>you know, you go to the boys and Girls club

0:23:27.760 --> 0:23:31.280
<v Speaker 4>and you could play. Now the talent is a big

0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:36.359
<v Speaker 4>drop off. But I think my first camp that I

0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:41.560
<v Speaker 4>went to was the Nike Combine that they had over

0:23:41.600 --> 0:23:47.920
<v Speaker 4>at Stanford, and uh, I believe I had. I got

0:23:47.920 --> 0:23:50.840
<v Speaker 4>the invitation the day of the camp, so I came

0:23:51.520 --> 0:23:55.680
<v Speaker 4>with just some some tennis shoes and they were gonna

0:23:55.720 --> 0:23:59.120
<v Speaker 4>run a forty do shuttle, drill al drills and run

0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:02.800
<v Speaker 4>one on ones. I'm like, shit, I ain't got no cleats,

0:24:03.359 --> 0:24:06.960
<v Speaker 4>so I had to ball like my cousin Mike Obama,

0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:11.400
<v Speaker 4>no man, God bless him, because I ain't had no spikes.

0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:14.439
<v Speaker 4>So he would go in do his drills, run his

0:24:14.520 --> 0:24:18.080
<v Speaker 4>routes and then I would use his cleats after his

0:24:19.160 --> 0:24:22.040
<v Speaker 4>after his rep, I ran my forty Like I'm at

0:24:22.040 --> 0:24:25.920
<v Speaker 4>this time, I'm probably like a size ten and a half.

0:24:26.440 --> 0:24:31.800
<v Speaker 4>I ran the forty and some size eight shoes, and

0:24:31.960 --> 0:24:36.639
<v Speaker 4>I'm talking about I was hot cause my feet were balled.

0:24:36.440 --> 0:24:37.800
<v Speaker 2>Up in the little ass shoes.

0:24:39.560 --> 0:24:41.639
<v Speaker 4>I had no choice but to run fast so I

0:24:41.680 --> 0:24:43.040
<v Speaker 4>could get the motherfuckers off.

0:24:44.680 --> 0:24:45.800
<v Speaker 2>I had to, man.

0:24:45.880 --> 0:24:48.760
<v Speaker 4>But you know that the camps and all of that

0:24:48.880 --> 0:24:53.199
<v Speaker 4>day for us, they wasn't really that big. And the

0:24:53.320 --> 0:24:56.040

<v Speaker 4>talk about, you know the youth, how you know the parents,

0:25:01.480 --> 0:25:06.080

0:26:06.320 --> 0:26:08.760
<v Speaker 4>be home before the street lights came on, and then

0:26:08.840 --> 0:26:13.000
<v Speaker 4>motherfucker's been on for well over an hour. Mom's coming

0:26:13.040 --> 0:26:15.760
<v Speaker 4>down the street with them, with them flip flops, clacking,

0:26:16.000 --> 0:26:20.000
<v Speaker 4>and all you hear is that, Oh, you know you're

0:26:20.040 --> 0:26:22.760
<v Speaker 4>about to get an ass whooping. Come out because you

0:26:22.800 --> 0:26:26.280
<v Speaker 4>know you should have been home. Now I'm gonna beat

0:26:26.320 --> 0:26:30.119
<v Speaker 4>your ass until you get home. Now, you don't understand that.

0:26:30.240 --> 0:26:31.600
<v Speaker 4>You think you got to sit there and take that

0:26:31.640 --> 0:26:36.720
<v Speaker 4>ass whooping. Shit, I'm sprinting, little brother and sister getting

0:26:36.720 --> 0:26:40.800
<v Speaker 4>the ass whooped. Now, my MoMA track athlete, Oh she

0:26:41.040 --> 0:26:42.800
<v Speaker 4>on me. Oh you thought you was gonna run and

0:26:42.840 --> 0:26:45.000
<v Speaker 4>miss this ass whooping. Oh no, you're gonna get every

0:26:45.000 --> 0:26:47.960
<v Speaker 4>one of these. But I'm saying that was that was

0:26:48.040 --> 0:26:48.760
<v Speaker 4>the motivation.

0:26:49.080 --> 0:26:52.440
<v Speaker 5>That was, well, you guys were hungry, too hungry back then.

0:26:52.760 --> 0:26:55.600
<v Speaker 4>No, we weren't nobody home, We weren't nobody worry about eating.

0:26:55.600 --> 0:26:57.800
<v Speaker 4>You maybe went to the store that got you a

0:26:57.880 --> 0:27:01.240
<v Speaker 4>little twenty five cent uh bag of chips, a little

0:27:01.240 --> 0:27:04.560
<v Speaker 4>twenty five cent the water juice, and you thugging it

0:27:04.640 --> 0:27:10.760
<v Speaker 4>out five six hours next, no concept of time, no nothing.

0:27:10.800 --> 0:27:12.919
<v Speaker 4>All I know is I'm having hell of fun and

0:27:12.960 --> 0:27:14.760
<v Speaker 4>I gotta make sure at the end of the day

0:27:15.520 --> 0:27:18.800
<v Speaker 4>the score would be like two hundred and seventy to

0:27:18.960 --> 0:27:21.400
<v Speaker 4>fucking three hundred and we playing football.

0:27:21.680 --> 0:27:24.360
<v Speaker 3>Jason, you have any of those experiences and oak any

0:27:24.400 --> 0:27:25.160
<v Speaker 3>of that makes sense?

0:27:25.440 --> 0:27:27.440
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it makes a lot of sense. I think when

0:27:27.480 --> 0:27:31.560
<v Speaker 6>he talked to when you talk about finding your friends outside, Hey,

0:27:31.560 --> 0:27:33.800
<v Speaker 6>we're gonna meet at the playground. You get off that

0:27:33.880 --> 0:27:36.439
<v Speaker 6>first bus, I'll be right there waiting for you at

0:27:36.440 --> 0:27:39.200
<v Speaker 6>two forty five, And that bus was lady like, man,

0:27:39.200 --> 0:27:41.720
<v Speaker 6>why is the bus late? So then you're like, hey,

0:27:41.800 --> 0:27:43.720
<v Speaker 6>where is such and such is he gonna be able

0:27:43.760 --> 0:27:46.360
<v Speaker 6>to play? So we got you know, five, it's three

0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:49.240
<v Speaker 6>on two, so you put the two best against.

0:27:48.880 --> 0:27:52.359
<v Speaker 2>The other three. Yeah, you play half court.

0:27:52.720 --> 0:27:55.920
<v Speaker 6>And so now it's just a matter of being able

0:27:56.000 --> 0:27:59.080
<v Speaker 6>to you use what you had, and you made the

0:27:59.119 --> 0:28:02.199
<v Speaker 6>best of it. And yes, you always knew that you

0:28:02.280 --> 0:28:05.520
<v Speaker 6>push the limits of that sun going down and that

0:28:05.600 --> 0:28:07.879
<v Speaker 6>street light coming on, because you knew you had the

0:28:07.960 --> 0:28:10.320
<v Speaker 6>rule was be home before the street light came on.

0:28:10.680 --> 0:28:13.119
<v Speaker 6>But you were having so much fun that you would

0:28:13.160 --> 0:28:19.440
<v Speaker 6>take that ass beaten and understand that the next day

0:28:19.800 --> 0:28:22.439
<v Speaker 6>you was if you were in that same scenario, because

0:28:22.480 --> 0:28:24.879
<v Speaker 6>as a kid, you're having so much fun that you

0:28:24.920 --> 0:28:27.640
<v Speaker 6>would probably go, Hey, it did hurt, but I'm having

0:28:27.680 --> 0:28:30.000
<v Speaker 6>so much fun with my friends, I'm gonna take another one.

0:28:30.280 --> 0:28:33.719
<v Speaker 6>And so but you loved the play outside. You came up.

0:28:33.800 --> 0:28:36.880
<v Speaker 6>You were creative with different games. If you didn't have enough,

0:28:37.280 --> 0:28:40.400
<v Speaker 6>you figured out, okay, the two best players against the

0:28:40.480 --> 0:28:44.240
<v Speaker 6>three and we're just gonna play until everybody gets tired.

0:28:44.600 --> 0:28:48.440
<v Speaker 6>And then I got a butt whooping when they got home.

0:28:48.800 --> 0:28:50.720
<v Speaker 5>Hey, Jason, take me through. Take me through. You told

0:28:50.760 --> 0:28:52.160
<v Speaker 5>me the story and hope you can share it.

0:28:52.200 --> 0:28:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Is when you know you're you're probably the number one

0:28:55.080 --> 0:28:59.240
<v Speaker 1>recruit in the country at Saint Joe's and you got

0:28:59.240 --> 0:29:02.800
<v Speaker 1>everybody after you and UNLV is is just won a

0:29:02.880 --> 0:29:05.840
<v Speaker 1>title and take me through the time.

0:29:05.920 --> 0:29:07.480
<v Speaker 5>You know, Tarcanian rest in peace.

0:29:07.600 --> 0:29:10.000
<v Speaker 1>The shark was all over you, and I think you

0:29:10.080 --> 0:29:12.920
<v Speaker 1>committed UNOV correct before you went to cal Well.

0:29:13.160 --> 0:29:15.840
<v Speaker 6>I wanted to go to u n l V so bad.

0:29:15.880 --> 0:29:18.040
<v Speaker 6>Everybody wanted to go to un l V. Anybody that

0:29:18.200 --> 0:29:20.280
<v Speaker 6>was on the West coast wanted to go to UNLV

0:29:20.320 --> 0:29:24.880
<v Speaker 6>and tark and Girds, you know, was was where I

0:29:24.920 --> 0:29:26.760
<v Speaker 6>wanted to go, and they knew I wanted to go there.

0:29:26.800 --> 0:29:29.440
<v Speaker 6>So I got an opportunity to watch UNLV play San

0:29:29.520 --> 0:29:34.120
<v Speaker 6>Jose State and went to the game. And then after

0:29:34.160 --> 0:29:36.320
<v Speaker 6>the game, they said, hey, we're going to have a barbecue.

0:29:36.920 --> 0:29:40.240
<v Speaker 6>So I thought, okay, barbecue. It's it's already ten o'clock

0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:43.360
<v Speaker 6>at night. Where is this barbecue going to be? They said,

0:29:43.360 --> 0:29:45.040
<v Speaker 6>come back to the hotel that it's going to be

0:29:45.080 --> 0:29:48.520
<v Speaker 6>on the top floor. And I was sold. When they

0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:50.640
<v Speaker 6>had to barbecue on the top floor, I was like,

0:29:50.680 --> 0:29:51.200
<v Speaker 6>I'm going.

0:29:51.080 --> 0:29:51.680
<v Speaker 2>To un l V.

0:29:51.840 --> 0:29:57.080
<v Speaker 6>This is what it's all about. Stacey Augman, Hunt, Larry Johnson.

0:29:57.520 --> 0:29:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Uh. It was incredible.

0:29:59.080 --> 0:30:02.480
<v Speaker 6>Uh because the running raps, everybody wanted to be a

0:30:02.520 --> 0:30:06.040
<v Speaker 6>running rep and uh and so uh, being one of

0:30:06.080 --> 0:30:08.160
<v Speaker 6>the top kids in high school at that time, that

0:30:08.280 --> 0:30:10.920
<v Speaker 6>was that was my first choice until they got on probation.

0:30:11.320 --> 0:30:13.760
<v Speaker 3>Oh so that's what happened. So then and then Cal

0:30:13.880 --> 0:30:15.680
<v Speaker 3>came running, or you came running.

0:30:15.880 --> 0:30:17.960
<v Speaker 6>And then then I was like, it's between Kansas and

0:30:18.000 --> 0:30:21.240
<v Speaker 6>Cal and uh. I had family in Kansas and uh

0:30:21.400 --> 0:30:23.360
<v Speaker 6>and decided to stay at home at Cal. I thought

0:30:23.360 --> 0:30:25.360
<v Speaker 6>that was the best choice. Playing with those guys in

0:30:25.360 --> 0:30:28.040
<v Speaker 6>the summer. I thought I could help them, uh, you know,

0:30:28.160 --> 0:30:30.800
<v Speaker 6>get better and uh and hopefully make a din in

0:30:30.840 --> 0:30:33.240
<v Speaker 6>the tournament. And it turned out that we had a

0:30:33.240 --> 0:30:35.360
<v Speaker 6>good run. But it was a lot of fun to

0:30:35.360 --> 0:30:38.520
<v Speaker 6>be at home. Hold on, that's that's crazy. I just

0:30:38.640 --> 0:30:42.880
<v Speaker 6>was talking to somebody and uh, how you pronounced the coaching.

0:30:44.680 --> 0:30:52.040
<v Speaker 4>Girds or yeah, that's the that's the gainst, right, all right.

0:30:52.080 --> 0:30:53.400
<v Speaker 4>So somebody was telling me that.

0:30:54.440 --> 0:30:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, so.

0:30:55.320 --> 0:31:01.719
<v Speaker 4>I guess uh the Lakers would wanted to, uh, you know,

0:31:01.760 --> 0:31:05.440
<v Speaker 4>bring him over to the uh the forum, and they

0:31:05.480 --> 0:31:08.480
<v Speaker 4>say they sent somebody uh to come and talk to him,

0:31:08.520 --> 0:31:10.640
<v Speaker 4>and you know what I mean, try to you know,

0:31:10.720 --> 0:31:14.280
<v Speaker 4>persuade him to come over to coach the Lakers and

0:31:14.320 --> 0:31:16.440
<v Speaker 4>you know at the time, I guess the mob was

0:31:16.480 --> 0:31:20.360
<v Speaker 4>a was was you know that the real mob was

0:31:20.440 --> 0:31:25.040
<v Speaker 4>running running Vegas and they wasn't having that ship. So

0:31:25.200 --> 0:31:28.240
<v Speaker 4>the dude that came to talk to him, they say,

0:31:28.320 --> 0:31:30.680
<v Speaker 4>they end up finding this motherfucker.

0:31:30.080 --> 0:31:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Dead in the truck.

0:31:31.800 --> 0:31:35.280
<v Speaker 4>And I'm like, oh, what you mean, Like, yeah, they

0:31:35.320 --> 0:31:40.400
<v Speaker 4>they knocked his ass off. Larry Johnson and and and

0:31:40.160 --> 0:31:42.280
<v Speaker 4>and those guys they say, yeah, they was. They was

0:31:42.320 --> 0:31:45.640
<v Speaker 4>easily making about a uh, about a million at the time.

0:31:45.720 --> 0:31:48.920
<v Speaker 4>They all had they put him in you know what

0:31:48.920 --> 0:31:52.480
<v Speaker 4>I mean, fly ass cars, the whole nine. And I'm like, damn,

0:31:52.600 --> 0:31:56.640
<v Speaker 4>that'sh they all get that serious. So you you was

0:31:56.880 --> 0:31:59.280
<v Speaker 4>right after that. I don't know if you know anything

0:31:59.280 --> 0:32:02.000
<v Speaker 4>about that, but yeah, I mean somebody had told me

0:32:02.040 --> 0:32:05.800
<v Speaker 4>their story and I'm like, oh, that's why the motherfuckers

0:32:05.800 --> 0:32:06.520
<v Speaker 4>was running around.

0:32:06.960 --> 0:32:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean.

0:32:07.720 --> 0:32:10.640
<v Speaker 4>So so so gangst at the time, they had a

0:32:10.680 --> 0:32:14.560
<v Speaker 4>gangst ass coach and they had the mob pushing behind them.

0:32:14.880 --> 0:32:17.240
<v Speaker 4>So when you say you went to that barbecue, was

0:32:17.520 --> 0:32:19.160
<v Speaker 4>did you get any mob es?

0:32:20.600 --> 0:32:23.040
<v Speaker 2>Now, it was just a nice barbecue.

0:32:23.160 --> 0:32:24.200
<v Speaker 3>That's the right answer.

0:32:24.440 --> 0:32:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Like we protected around this motherfucker.

0:32:29.200 --> 0:32:32.200
<v Speaker 6>You'd have to ask Stacy Larry Johnson about that. But

0:32:33.040 --> 0:32:37.880
<v Speaker 6>they you know, Turkey was a player's coach. He let

0:32:37.960 --> 0:32:39.400
<v Speaker 6>the players be themselves.

0:32:39.760 --> 0:32:39.920
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

0:32:39.960 --> 0:32:44.400
<v Speaker 6>He had players from Detroit, from La So and also

0:32:44.440 --> 0:32:46.600
<v Speaker 6>they were you know, always looked upon as the best.

0:32:47.040 --> 0:32:47.400
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:32:47.440 --> 0:32:50.920
<v Speaker 6>But it was there's stories that that are out there

0:32:50.960 --> 0:32:52.840
<v Speaker 6>like that. I don't know if they're true, but I

0:32:52.960 --> 0:32:56.000
<v Speaker 6>was after after that, Tark never left U n LV,

0:32:56.160 --> 0:32:56.760
<v Speaker 6>that's for sure.

0:32:57.280 --> 0:33:00.600
<v Speaker 3>Hey, Jason, take me back when I mean talk about

0:33:00.640 --> 0:33:03.600
<v Speaker 3>being the best. When did you start to develop confidence?

0:33:03.640 --> 0:33:05.520
<v Speaker 3>You remember it was a moment or was there a game,

0:33:05.680 --> 0:33:08.760
<v Speaker 3>Was there a conversation your parents? Was it just a

0:33:08.760 --> 0:33:12.200
<v Speaker 3>family member, someone stranger came up and said in seventh

0:33:12.200 --> 0:33:14.640
<v Speaker 3>eighth grade, hey kid, keep doing what you're doing. You

0:33:14.720 --> 0:33:15.680
<v Speaker 3>got something special.

0:33:16.360 --> 0:33:18.800
<v Speaker 6>No, you know, I think it started in elementary school,

0:33:18.880 --> 0:33:21.120
<v Speaker 6>seventh eighth grade when there was a referee said, man,

0:33:21.160 --> 0:33:23.520
<v Speaker 6>you're going to be good. And I was like, I

0:33:23.600 --> 0:33:25.360
<v Speaker 6>let the referee tell me I'm gonna be good.

0:33:25.560 --> 0:33:28.520
<v Speaker 2>And so well, this was this was.

0:33:28.480 --> 0:33:32.040
<v Speaker 6>Cyo so so I was just like, ah, that's cool.

0:33:32.120 --> 0:33:35.280
<v Speaker 6>And then I did get the opportunity to play with

0:33:35.320 --> 0:33:37.760
<v Speaker 6>Gary a lot, uh, and he let me know that

0:33:37.840 --> 0:33:41.360
<v Speaker 6>I was not very good, and he talked a lot

0:33:41.400 --> 0:33:44.880
<v Speaker 6>of shit, and he let me know every time. And

0:33:44.960 --> 0:33:47.200
<v Speaker 6>I thought, you know, I was feeling pretty good about myself,

0:33:47.240 --> 0:33:50.200
<v Speaker 6>that I could score and then we would work out.

0:33:50.240 --> 0:33:53.520
<v Speaker 6>He would not let me score, and so I had

0:33:53.520 --> 0:33:55.440
<v Speaker 6>to figure out I had to you know, continue to

0:33:55.520 --> 0:33:59.200
<v Speaker 6>keep working. And so he humbled me that let me

0:33:59.240 --> 0:34:02.120
<v Speaker 6>know that I wasn't good and I wanted to become better.

0:34:02.200 --> 0:34:06.320
<v Speaker 6>So I came back for those ass kickings, and Gary

0:34:06.360 --> 0:34:08.920
<v Speaker 6>helped me, you know, become the player I am, and

0:34:10.200 --> 0:34:13.359
<v Speaker 6>he taught me a lot. I just couldn't talk and

0:34:13.440 --> 0:34:17.360
<v Speaker 6>play like he did. I thought I would get too tired.

0:34:17.640 --> 0:34:20.120
<v Speaker 6>I mean, but he he could talk and he could

0:34:20.120 --> 0:34:22.560
<v Speaker 6>back it up and he could play at a high level.

0:34:22.600 --> 0:34:25.120
<v Speaker 6>But I always thought, man, if I talk, I'm gonna

0:34:25.120 --> 0:34:27.800
<v Speaker 6>be tired, I'm gonna be gassed out. But for whatever reason,

0:34:27.840 --> 0:34:29.800
<v Speaker 6>he knew how to do both at a very high level.

0:34:29.920 --> 0:34:32.399
<v Speaker 3>Were you were your parents big talkers? Were they out there?

0:34:32.440 --> 0:34:34.279
<v Speaker 3>Were they pushing you all the time or were they

0:34:34.320 --> 0:34:36.160
<v Speaker 3>just proud of you? Just you be you are? They

0:34:36.400 --> 0:34:38.000
<v Speaker 3>they want to see you where you are today?

0:34:38.200 --> 0:34:39.879
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I have a great question. And my parents were

0:34:39.960 --> 0:34:43.799
<v Speaker 6>very supportive. They they both had jobs. They both made

0:34:43.800 --> 0:34:47.759
<v Speaker 6>sure I got the practice and so there was you know,

0:34:48.080 --> 0:34:51.359
<v Speaker 6>no like we have the number one high school player

0:34:51.400 --> 0:34:51.920
<v Speaker 6>in the country.

0:34:51.920 --> 0:34:54.799
<v Speaker 2>It was like, how can we help you? Support you?

0:34:55.200 --> 0:34:57.200
<v Speaker 6>And I was just very blessed to have my mom

0:34:57.239 --> 0:34:59.480
<v Speaker 6>and dad you know, support me to get me to

0:34:59.640 --> 0:35:02.720
<v Speaker 6>practice into the games and uh and fly me around

0:35:02.719 --> 0:35:05.480
<v Speaker 6>the country. My dad actually worked for t w A

0:35:06.920 --> 0:35:09.680
<v Speaker 6>trans America back in the day, so we were very

0:35:09.719 --> 0:35:12.200
<v Speaker 6>fortunate to be able to, you know, fly on standby.

0:35:12.719 --> 0:35:16.520
<v Speaker 6>I learned patients, I think from standby because it was

0:35:16.600 --> 0:35:19.319
<v Speaker 6>like sitting there like, yeah, we get on this flight,

0:35:19.400 --> 0:35:21.200
<v Speaker 6>we got to wait and we could spend most of

0:35:21.200 --> 0:35:24.560
<v Speaker 6>the day in the airport and so uh, but it

0:35:24.600 --> 0:35:27.240
<v Speaker 6>was it was I was very lucky to have my parents.

0:35:38.800 --> 0:35:39.320
<v Speaker 5>And Jason.

0:35:39.360 --> 0:35:41.680
<v Speaker 1>How was it so you get drafted and and back

0:35:41.680 --> 0:35:43.360
<v Speaker 1>to Marshall and those were the hey days because you

0:35:43.400 --> 0:35:45.480
<v Speaker 1>get you came in and your shoe deal is probably

0:35:45.480 --> 0:35:48.319
<v Speaker 1>one hundred million. The contracts, I mean, the money back

0:35:48.360 --> 0:35:54.879
<v Speaker 1>then was crazy in terms of shoe contracts else. So

0:35:55.120 --> 0:35:57.880
<v Speaker 1>how was that back then in terms of just navigating

0:35:57.880 --> 0:36:00.839
<v Speaker 1>the financial side of things at at nineteen years old,

0:36:00.880 --> 0:36:01.640
<v Speaker 1>we leave cal.

0:36:01.920 --> 0:36:04.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, you know, I think that's a great question in

0:36:04.520 --> 0:36:06.360
<v Speaker 6>the sense of we were the last year of the

0:36:06.360 --> 0:36:10.480
<v Speaker 6>big deal. So anytime Glenn Robinson was the number one

0:36:10.520 --> 0:36:13.040
<v Speaker 6>pick and he was asking for one hundred million, and

0:36:13.120 --> 0:36:14.840
<v Speaker 6>so I was like, oh, this is great. I'm the

0:36:14.960 --> 0:36:17.359
<v Speaker 6>number two pick, so I'm a fall whatever he gets,

0:36:17.400 --> 0:36:19.560
<v Speaker 6>I'm a fall a little bit below him.

0:36:19.960 --> 0:36:20.439
<v Speaker 2>And so.

0:36:21.840 --> 0:36:24.080
<v Speaker 6>It ended up, I think to be a fifty four

0:36:24.200 --> 0:36:28.680
<v Speaker 6>million dollar deal for ten years, and so it was

0:36:28.719 --> 0:36:30.000
<v Speaker 6>a deal or nine years.

0:36:30.040 --> 0:36:32.080
<v Speaker 2>So it was a great deal. It was the last

0:36:32.120 --> 0:36:33.040
<v Speaker 2>of the big deals.

0:36:33.640 --> 0:36:36.720
<v Speaker 6>And so after that, the league went to the slotted

0:36:37.640 --> 0:36:40.600
<v Speaker 6>you know, being slotted. So the number one, number two pick,

0:36:40.680 --> 0:36:43.880
<v Speaker 6>number three pick all were slotted. And so I was

0:36:44.000 --> 0:36:47.279
<v Speaker 6>very lucky. Glenn Robinson signed a nice deal. Grant Hill

0:36:47.400 --> 0:36:49.880
<v Speaker 6>was third, he signed a nice deal. So and then

0:36:49.920 --> 0:36:52.160
<v Speaker 6>he signed a nice deal with Fela, and I got

0:36:52.239 --> 0:36:53.759
<v Speaker 6>lucky to sign a nice deal with Nike.

0:36:54.360 --> 0:37:00.759
<v Speaker 2>Man he'll drink right, uh.

0:37:01.160 --> 0:37:03.480
<v Speaker 3>But so Jason, just you know, take me through. I mean,

0:37:03.520 --> 0:37:06.800
<v Speaker 3>that's those early experiences, and obviously that those changes that

0:37:06.920 --> 0:37:09.200
<v Speaker 3>the NBA and the league started to make after those

0:37:09.239 --> 0:37:11.799
<v Speaker 3>big deals, and you know, take us now to where

0:37:11.800 --> 0:37:14.279
<v Speaker 3>we are today, and there's a lot of conversations folks

0:37:14.360 --> 0:37:17.319
<v Speaker 3>are having about the n B A a lot of

0:37:17.320 --> 0:37:21.640
<v Speaker 3>positive conversations, obviously a lot of concern just viewership, how

0:37:21.680 --> 0:37:24.920
<v Speaker 3>the game is quote unquote changing, uh, and and how

0:37:24.960 --> 0:37:28.360
<v Speaker 3>to make it more relevant uh in you know, in season,

0:37:28.480 --> 0:37:32.200
<v Speaker 3>tournament now, just ways of getting more eyes and looking

0:37:32.520 --> 0:37:35.040
<v Speaker 3>more globally at the sport. I mean, what's what's been

0:37:35.360 --> 0:37:38.839
<v Speaker 3>your journey and what's your over under on how things

0:37:38.880 --> 0:37:40.920
<v Speaker 3>have evolved or devolved from your perspective.

0:37:41.200 --> 0:37:42.840
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I think the game is in a in a

0:37:42.880 --> 0:37:46.279
<v Speaker 6>great place. I think history always repeats itself, as we know,

0:37:47.520 --> 0:37:50.720
<v Speaker 6>and just understanding the changing of the guard from Staph

0:37:50.800 --> 0:37:53.799
<v Speaker 6>and Lebron. We had the changing of guard, you know,

0:37:53.880 --> 0:37:58.600
<v Speaker 6>from Magic to Larry Bird to Michael Jordan, and so

0:37:58.840 --> 0:38:02.520
<v Speaker 6>just understanding there's always maybe I don't want to use

0:38:02.560 --> 0:38:05.480
<v Speaker 6>the word slippage, but just where there's a downturn just

0:38:05.520 --> 0:38:06.440
<v Speaker 6>for a second.

0:38:06.920 --> 0:38:08.839
<v Speaker 2>But we are our league is full of.

0:38:08.800 --> 0:38:12.040
<v Speaker 6>Stars, a lot of international stars, and so it just

0:38:12.040 --> 0:38:16.040
<v Speaker 6>shows the game is global and that it's grown. Yes,

0:38:16.080 --> 0:38:20.040
<v Speaker 6>we're shooting a lot of threes, Uh, there's a lot

0:38:20.120 --> 0:38:24.239
<v Speaker 6>and everyone can shoot today, and so just understanding that

0:38:24.239 --> 0:38:26.440
<v Speaker 6>there's gonna probably be you know, we're we're gonna get

0:38:26.440 --> 0:38:29.200
<v Speaker 6>a dominant, you know, player like Victor who can play

0:38:29.200 --> 0:38:32.920
<v Speaker 6>inside out, you know, just understanding his skill set, just

0:38:33.000 --> 0:38:36.240
<v Speaker 6>like Giannis, uh, you know, being able to play inside

0:38:36.280 --> 0:38:36.600
<v Speaker 6>and out.

0:38:37.000 --> 0:38:40.120
<v Speaker 2>But I truly believe we have one of the great games.

0:38:40.640 --> 0:38:43.799
<v Speaker 6>I think the nd season Tournament, Uh maybe it could

0:38:43.840 --> 0:38:46.840
<v Speaker 6>become and this is just my opinion, could become the

0:38:46.920 --> 0:38:49.400
<v Speaker 6>All Star Game where we can have a semis and

0:38:49.480 --> 0:38:52.319
<v Speaker 6>finals because it becomes competitive.

0:38:52.800 --> 0:38:53.799
<v Speaker 5>I know, I know, we.

0:38:53.719 --> 0:38:55.960
<v Speaker 6>Didn't like last year's All Star Game where they score

0:38:55.960 --> 0:38:57.120
<v Speaker 6>two hundred points.

0:38:58.320 --> 0:39:00.279
<v Speaker 3>It's like one of those Marshaan games back.

0:39:02.280 --> 0:39:04.320
<v Speaker 6>But I think the game is in a good place

0:39:05.200 --> 0:39:07.800
<v Speaker 6>and the players have gotten better, and so the league

0:39:07.880 --> 0:39:11.080
<v Speaker 6>is always looking, you know, how can we keep the

0:39:11.160 --> 0:39:15.520
<v Speaker 6>viewers watching? And again, talent does that. And I think

0:39:15.880 --> 0:39:19.360
<v Speaker 6>for our youth, with Victor being one of the young

0:39:19.920 --> 0:39:22.759
<v Speaker 6>talented players in our league, people are going to watch him.

0:39:23.320 --> 0:39:26.280
<v Speaker 6>With jokers doing in Denver, he can win another MVP

0:39:27.000 --> 0:39:29.960
<v Speaker 6>just he makes the game look so easy. Shae in

0:39:30.000 --> 0:39:35.720
<v Speaker 6>Oklahoma City, so again, Shase from Canada and so again.

0:39:35.920 --> 0:39:40.000
<v Speaker 6>The international game is on the rise for us at

0:39:40.040 --> 0:39:43.759
<v Speaker 6>the US. We have to start developing our players or

0:39:43.760 --> 0:39:45.440
<v Speaker 6>we're going to be in trouble in the Olympics.

0:39:45.960 --> 0:39:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Jason, I got a question and we talked about it. Obviously,

0:39:48.440 --> 0:39:51.600
<v Speaker 1>you're a huge football fan, and the difference between football

0:39:51.600 --> 0:39:54.960
<v Speaker 1>and basketball is so huge. For example, you look at

0:39:54.960 --> 0:39:56.840
<v Speaker 1>the Sacramento Kings up the road from US. You know,

0:39:56.920 --> 0:40:00.600
<v Speaker 1>they get the franchises on the rise the last four

0:40:00.680 --> 0:40:03.120
<v Speaker 1>or five years, they get rid of Mike Brown and

0:40:03.160 --> 0:40:05.880
<v Speaker 1>now Dearon Fox wants to trade. And in the NBA,

0:40:06.280 --> 0:40:08.799
<v Speaker 1>when these guys want trades, they get traded. There's not

0:40:08.840 --> 0:40:11.319
<v Speaker 1>an NFL player that will go to an owner say

0:40:11.320 --> 0:40:12.040
<v Speaker 1>I want to be traded.

0:40:12.040 --> 0:40:13.320
<v Speaker 5>The owner will say, we're not trading.

0:40:13.719 --> 0:40:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Why is it In the NBA, If Fox or Jimmy Butler,

0:40:17.760 --> 0:40:21.680
<v Speaker 1>these guys want trades, they always get traded, versus the NFL,

0:40:21.719 --> 0:40:23.680
<v Speaker 1>where the owner says, screw you, I'm not moving you.

0:40:24.480 --> 0:40:28.239
<v Speaker 6>Well, I think it is two different sports because you

0:40:28.280 --> 0:40:30.680
<v Speaker 6>don't hear a lot of NFL players coming out saying

0:40:30.680 --> 0:40:32.400
<v Speaker 6>they're going to hit you don't want to be traded.

0:40:33.280 --> 0:40:35.319
<v Speaker 6>But I think when you look at the NBA and

0:40:36.080 --> 0:40:40.800
<v Speaker 6>just the talent level, where if Jimmy Butler or Fox

0:40:41.719 --> 0:40:45.759
<v Speaker 6>has to be traded, the value of those players can

0:40:45.800 --> 0:40:49.120
<v Speaker 6>bring you back the value of what you think. And

0:40:49.200 --> 0:40:53.799
<v Speaker 6>so but again, when we have these different platforms, it

0:40:53.840 --> 0:40:57.120
<v Speaker 6>gives everyone the opportunity to speak out and things have

0:40:57.320 --> 0:41:00.279
<v Speaker 6>changed where now a lot of players do exercise that

0:41:00.360 --> 0:41:03.080
<v Speaker 6>platform to uh, to try to get traded. And so

0:41:04.360 --> 0:41:08.960
<v Speaker 6>also it gives media something to talk about in northern

0:41:09.040 --> 0:41:13.080
<v Speaker 6>California or down in the South Beach. But I think truly, UH,

0:41:13.239 --> 0:41:16.200
<v Speaker 6>that will always be part of the game of a player,

0:41:16.320 --> 0:41:19.880
<v Speaker 6>a star player not liking the situation and wanted to

0:41:19.920 --> 0:41:22.480
<v Speaker 6>be moved. And a lot of times you start to

0:41:22.520 --> 0:41:25.799
<v Speaker 6>see these mega teams that are being created and so

0:41:26.600 --> 0:41:30.840
<v Speaker 6>maybe Fox will probably want to know, join a mega team?

0:41:30.840 --> 0:41:34.200
<v Speaker 3>What on this? On the other side of that, as

0:41:34.200 --> 0:41:36.640
<v Speaker 3>a coach, I mean, you know you've been at this.

0:41:36.920 --> 0:41:39.160
<v Speaker 3>I love the I mean you started coaching right when

0:41:39.160 --> 0:41:42.200
<v Speaker 3>you were done with with u with playing and you

0:41:42.239 --> 0:41:44.480
<v Speaker 3>immediately moved on. I mean was that first of all,

0:41:44.560 --> 0:41:47.720
<v Speaker 3>was that a natural evolution meaning you had your mind

0:41:48.200 --> 0:41:51.319
<v Speaker 3>already set on that being your next career choice or

0:41:51.360 --> 0:41:53.879
<v Speaker 3>did that happen in some other way? And number two,

0:41:54.440 --> 0:41:56.640
<v Speaker 3>the whole isshue of coaching. Now the pressure you're getting

0:41:56.960 --> 0:41:58.880
<v Speaker 3>and the pressure you've had as as a coach and

0:41:58.920 --> 0:42:01.879
<v Speaker 3>a number of teams to win and win. Now win

0:42:01.920 --> 0:42:02.919
<v Speaker 3>it all costs.

0:42:03.239 --> 0:42:03.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:42:03.640 --> 0:42:07.000
<v Speaker 6>I think when you look at when I was coming

0:42:07.040 --> 0:42:09.680
<v Speaker 6>out the car ran out of gas as a player,

0:42:09.719 --> 0:42:11.680
<v Speaker 6>I knew I needed to do something different and I

0:42:11.719 --> 0:42:16.560
<v Speaker 6>started to think about coaching, GM ownership, and I thought,

0:42:17.080 --> 0:42:19.759
<v Speaker 6>if you go into coaching, it gives you the background

0:42:19.840 --> 0:42:22.360
<v Speaker 6>if you're going to go to become a GM or

0:42:22.560 --> 0:42:25.560
<v Speaker 6>become an owner of understanding what a coach goes through.

0:42:26.400 --> 0:42:28.799
<v Speaker 6>It's easy to say, Okay, you lost two or three

0:42:28.800 --> 0:42:30.680
<v Speaker 6>in a row and go, hey, we got to change

0:42:30.680 --> 0:42:34.399
<v Speaker 6>the coach, but there's so many things that go into that.

0:42:34.880 --> 0:42:38.279
<v Speaker 6>And so with injury or illness or just you're not

0:42:38.320 --> 0:42:41.080
<v Speaker 6>making shots. It happens in a eighty two game season,

0:42:41.440 --> 0:42:45.800
<v Speaker 6>and you know, how do you stay positive and turning around?

0:42:46.200 --> 0:42:48.960
<v Speaker 6>And so that was the thinking about going into coaching.

0:42:49.000 --> 0:42:52.839
<v Speaker 6>I want to understand from the ground floors. It's understanding

0:42:52.920 --> 0:42:55.319
<v Speaker 6>like what it means to be a coach. And then

0:42:56.320 --> 0:43:01.440
<v Speaker 6>to that second part, coaching is tough because you were

0:43:01.480 --> 0:43:04.880
<v Speaker 6>the first one to take the sword and so uh,

0:43:05.160 --> 0:43:08.359
<v Speaker 6>no matter. You know, Mike Brown did a great job

0:43:08.680 --> 0:43:11.960
<v Speaker 6>in Sacramento, but you're not behind the closed doors of

0:43:12.400 --> 0:43:16.319
<v Speaker 6>what's being said uh to ownership. Uh, they felt they

0:43:16.320 --> 0:43:21.000
<v Speaker 6>needed to make a change. Unfortunately, it's the coach before

0:43:21.040 --> 0:43:25.520
<v Speaker 6>the player, and so Mike Brown is one of our

0:43:25.560 --> 0:43:28.719
<v Speaker 6>better coaches in this league, and unfortunately in that situation,

0:43:28.880 --> 0:43:31.520
<v Speaker 6>he got fired. But I think when we sign up

0:43:31.520 --> 0:43:34.680
<v Speaker 6>to be a coach, you know that you're gonna get

0:43:34.719 --> 0:43:38.400
<v Speaker 6>You're gonna take the blame, uh for the losses. You

0:43:38.560 --> 0:43:41.520
<v Speaker 6>never get credit for the wins, and you're the first

0:43:41.520 --> 0:43:43.759
<v Speaker 6>one on the list that has to go. And so

0:43:44.680 --> 0:43:46.960
<v Speaker 6>that's that's the challenge. But we signed up for that

0:43:47.080 --> 0:43:48.759
<v Speaker 6>challenge because we all want to win.

0:43:48.920 --> 0:43:51.640
<v Speaker 3>Jason, is it harder for you? You know? And you

0:43:51.680 --> 0:43:54.640
<v Speaker 3>know there's as Doug introduced you, there's no other way

0:43:54.680 --> 0:43:57.919
<v Speaker 3>to describe you except a legend in the sport. Well,

0:43:58.080 --> 0:44:02.520
<v Speaker 3>is it harder being so exceptionally talented to have been

0:44:02.600 --> 0:44:06.479
<v Speaker 3>such a great player to coach other players? I meaning,

0:44:06.520 --> 0:44:09.400
<v Speaker 3>do you have because I imagine you have this instinct

0:44:09.760 --> 0:44:12.239
<v Speaker 3>Jesus Christ, I get my ass in here. I'll tell

0:44:12.239 --> 0:44:13.920
<v Speaker 3>you how it's done. I mean there must be that

0:44:14.400 --> 0:44:19.600
<v Speaker 3>push pull or or is it easier because you have

0:44:19.640 --> 0:44:21.520
<v Speaker 3>more empathy for these guys out there on the court.

0:44:22.160 --> 0:44:25.200
<v Speaker 6>No, I think it's It was hard at first, that's

0:44:25.239 --> 0:44:28.120
<v Speaker 6>for sure, going straight from playing to coaching. But I

0:44:28.200 --> 0:44:32.960
<v Speaker 6>was blessed to have Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Sean Liviston,

0:44:34.160 --> 0:44:36.640
<v Speaker 6>Darren Williams, Joe Johnson, so I have vets that just

0:44:36.680 --> 0:44:41.640
<v Speaker 6>played against. The language was very similar what I saw

0:44:41.920 --> 0:44:45.400
<v Speaker 6>and I shared with them. They understood for the younger players,

0:44:46.480 --> 0:44:48.799
<v Speaker 6>you have to be patient. You have to leave your

0:44:48.840 --> 0:44:52.080
<v Speaker 6>ego or what you would do in that situation because

0:44:52.440 --> 0:44:55.480
<v Speaker 6>a lot of times they can't see what you see.

0:44:55.840 --> 0:44:58.080
<v Speaker 6>And so first you got to get to their levels,

0:44:58.160 --> 0:45:00.759
<v Speaker 6>like ask hey, what do you see? And when they

0:45:00.800 --> 0:45:02.640
<v Speaker 6>tell you, you go, okay, this is what I you.

0:45:02.840 --> 0:45:06.960
<v Speaker 6>I can feed them of how to teach, because if

0:45:07.000 --> 0:45:10.080
<v Speaker 6>you go into just stractly what I was taught, it

0:45:10.760 --> 0:45:13.480
<v Speaker 6>can confuse a young player. And so you have to

0:45:13.480 --> 0:45:16.160
<v Speaker 6>be patient, You have to spend a lot of time.

0:45:17.000 --> 0:45:19.800
<v Speaker 6>We talked about AAU. We have to be better in

0:45:20.440 --> 0:45:25.080
<v Speaker 6>that part of game because it's terrible. And then we

0:45:25.760 --> 0:45:29.000
<v Speaker 6>really to look at the European model, the academies and

0:45:29.120 --> 0:45:32.799
<v Speaker 6>being able to get developed coaching and be able to

0:45:32.840 --> 0:45:35.200
<v Speaker 6>develop players, and I think we're missing the boat on

0:45:35.239 --> 0:45:36.520
<v Speaker 6>both of those right now.

0:45:37.160 --> 0:45:39.320
<v Speaker 3>Is the NBA moving in that direction? I mean, is

0:45:39.719 --> 0:45:43.280
<v Speaker 3>the league itself starting to move away from talking about

0:45:43.320 --> 0:45:44.799
<v Speaker 3>that to actually doing something about that?

0:45:45.280 --> 0:45:45.680
<v Speaker 2>I hope.

0:45:45.680 --> 0:45:48.440
<v Speaker 6>So, I hope that's something on their agenda because I

0:45:48.440 --> 0:45:50.600
<v Speaker 6>think when you look at the European model of Real

0:45:50.680 --> 0:45:52.920
<v Speaker 6>Madrid or these teams that are over there with the

0:45:53.000 --> 0:45:57.160
<v Speaker 6>academies and then being able to develop at the age

0:45:57.200 --> 0:46:02.120
<v Speaker 6>of thirteen fourteen, fifteen, developed coaches, I think we all always,

0:46:02.239 --> 0:46:04.600
<v Speaker 6>you know, look at just the player, but how can

0:46:04.640 --> 0:46:08.000
<v Speaker 6>we develop coaches? And I think here in the States,

0:46:08.360 --> 0:46:10.759
<v Speaker 6>if someone was to come up with an academy for

0:46:11.000 --> 0:46:14.120
<v Speaker 6>just coaches, that would become a gold mine because we

0:46:14.200 --> 0:46:29.560
<v Speaker 6>don't have enough good coaches throughout our sports industry.

0:46:31.280 --> 0:46:33.520
<v Speaker 1>So, Jay, you played against them both. Okay, let's settle

0:46:33.520 --> 0:46:36.080
<v Speaker 1>this now. Who's the greatest of all time? Is Lebron

0:46:36.160 --> 0:46:37.000
<v Speaker 1>or is it mj.

0:46:37.160 --> 0:46:40.520
<v Speaker 3>Oh Here we go, Jesus, this that stresses me out,

0:46:40.640 --> 0:46:44.000
<v Speaker 3>this conversation. Let's hear it. It does stress me out.

0:46:44.000 --> 0:46:44.520
<v Speaker 3>I got spell.

0:46:44.600 --> 0:46:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Hey, by the way, Jason didn't listen to me. Not

0:46:46.960 --> 0:46:49.040
<v Speaker 1>many people can sit You can ask someone like Jason,

0:46:49.040 --> 0:46:50.920
<v Speaker 1>who's the top seventy five player of all time, one

0:46:50.920 --> 0:46:52.160
<v Speaker 1>of the greatest players ever to play.

0:46:52.200 --> 0:46:54.920
<v Speaker 3>That being careful though, he's got to be. I'm worried

0:46:54.920 --> 0:46:58.440
<v Speaker 3>about Jason here as a politician that wanted to be careful.

0:47:00.280 --> 0:47:02.080
<v Speaker 6>I don't give a politician answer.

0:47:02.880 --> 0:47:05.520
<v Speaker 3>That's what I that's what I'm hoping for the politician.

0:47:05.600 --> 0:47:09.480
<v Speaker 3>No politics, man, I know, I know, no politics, all right,

0:47:09.520 --> 0:47:12.520
<v Speaker 3>So just yeah, no, So that's it, no politics, Jason,

0:47:12.560 --> 0:47:15.239
<v Speaker 3>tell us who is it? Yeah, don't don't say good

0:47:15.239 --> 0:47:17.480
<v Speaker 3>things about the other person. Just let us have it.

0:47:17.560 --> 0:47:20.200
<v Speaker 3>Let's hear it, man, let's do your private voice.

0:47:20.760 --> 0:47:23.839
<v Speaker 6>M Jay's he was the assassin. He's the best to

0:47:23.920 --> 0:47:28.120
<v Speaker 6>do it. He set the bar for for Lebron and

0:47:28.239 --> 0:47:32.320
<v Speaker 6>for Kobe uh to go chase and both and both

0:47:32.560 --> 0:47:36.120
<v Speaker 6>went to chase it and both touched it. And and

0:47:36.239 --> 0:47:39.359
<v Speaker 6>what Lebron has done is now set the bar even

0:47:39.480 --> 0:47:40.839
<v Speaker 6>higher for the next guy.

0:47:41.600 --> 0:47:41.920
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:47:42.160 --> 0:47:47.960
<v Speaker 6>And when you talk about the Joker Luca, guys like Victor,

0:47:48.600 --> 0:47:51.880
<v Speaker 6>Lebron has now set the bar becoming a billion dollar athlete.

0:47:52.360 --> 0:47:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:47:52.840 --> 0:47:55.840
<v Speaker 6>Now now that now those guys have something to chase.

0:47:55.880 --> 0:48:00.200
<v Speaker 6>And so I would say doctor J set the mare

0:48:00.280 --> 0:48:03.120
<v Speaker 6>for MJ. And then MJ took it and took it

0:48:03.120 --> 0:48:06.479
<v Speaker 6>to the moon. And now it's up to our next

0:48:06.520 --> 0:48:10.279
<v Speaker 6>generation to go chase Lebron. And that's a political way.

0:48:10.320 --> 0:48:12.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm not going to I know that was an answer

0:48:12.320 --> 0:48:15.000
<v Speaker 3>non answer. I was good, though, it was good. I'll

0:48:15.000 --> 0:48:17.279
<v Speaker 3>give you a B A B B minus.

0:48:17.800 --> 0:48:20.480
<v Speaker 2>I see he been, he been, He's been watching you Batman.

0:48:20.760 --> 0:48:24.080
<v Speaker 3>But hey, Marshawn, what I appreciate is he started with

0:48:24.080 --> 0:48:26.800
<v Speaker 3>with and there's no other way to describe MJ except

0:48:27.360 --> 0:48:30.800
<v Speaker 3>as an assassin. And it's so interesting to hear folks

0:48:30.920 --> 0:48:33.479
<v Speaker 3>like you, Jayson. It's one thing that you're sitting worse

0:48:33.480 --> 0:48:36.279
<v Speaker 3>than on the sidelines. But but the way he's been

0:48:36.360 --> 0:48:39.839
<v Speaker 3>described in terms of again just there's sort of fierceness,

0:48:39.960 --> 0:48:42.640
<v Speaker 3>is a competitiveness. I mean, he was going to take

0:48:42.680 --> 0:48:46.200
<v Speaker 3>you down. It was a zero sum mindset as it

0:48:46.280 --> 0:48:48.239
<v Speaker 3>lates to being out there on the court.

0:48:48.480 --> 0:48:51.279
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, he was, and he I think when you talk

0:48:51.320 --> 0:48:55.600
<v Speaker 6>about Kobe, Kobe copy MJ. And he wants to be MJ.

0:48:55.760 --> 0:48:59.400
<v Speaker 6>And so to understand what Kobe did, and then Kobe

0:48:59.400 --> 0:49:02.359
<v Speaker 6>took it to another level, and then Lebron has now

0:49:02.440 --> 0:49:05.240
<v Speaker 6>taken it to another level. And so I think it's

0:49:05.520 --> 0:49:08.319
<v Speaker 6>you know who's the best man. I would love to

0:49:08.360 --> 0:49:11.400
<v Speaker 6>see him and Lebron play.

0:49:11.239 --> 0:49:11.680
<v Speaker 2>One on one.

0:49:11.760 --> 0:49:14.360
<v Speaker 6>I did get the opportunity in O eight to see

0:49:14.520 --> 0:49:20.120
<v Speaker 6>Kobe and Lebron practice for the Team USA, So uh,

0:49:20.320 --> 0:49:23.360
<v Speaker 6>it's it's incredible. You know, we talk about the greatest

0:49:23.880 --> 0:49:26.680
<v Speaker 6>uh M set the bar and uh and the Kobe

0:49:26.719 --> 0:49:29.360
<v Speaker 6>and Lebron chased and I think they both touched that

0:49:29.880 --> 0:49:32.280
<v Speaker 6>status and have now taken it to another level.

0:49:32.560 --> 0:49:33.759
<v Speaker 5>Hey, Jace, let me ask a question.

0:49:33.760 --> 0:49:37.560
<v Speaker 1>It seems it seemed like like Mike was sort of

0:49:37.600 --> 0:49:38.360
<v Speaker 1>a mythical figure.

0:49:38.400 --> 0:49:39.520
<v Speaker 5>He didn't go out a whole lot.

0:49:39.560 --> 0:49:41.640
<v Speaker 1>He was like, it's like almost when I when I'm

0:49:41.680 --> 0:49:44.359
<v Speaker 1>with Marshawn at times, Marshawn goes through some place and people,

0:49:44.440 --> 0:49:48.080
<v Speaker 1>oh that's more Sean. MJ seemed like was he one

0:49:48.120 --> 0:49:50.040
<v Speaker 1>of the guys or is he kind of like, oh

0:49:50.080 --> 0:49:52.239
<v Speaker 1>my god, MJ showed up. Was he was he kind

0:49:52.239 --> 0:49:54.879
<v Speaker 1>of in a different planet back then in terms of the.

0:49:54.880 --> 0:49:56.359
<v Speaker 5>Awe for a lot of players in the NBA.

0:49:56.719 --> 0:49:59.160
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, No, he is one of the guys. He definitely

0:49:59.280 --> 0:50:02.120
<v Speaker 6>hung with the guys. He wanted to be with the guys.

0:50:02.120 --> 0:50:06.520
<v Speaker 6>He would play cards, uh, you know, talk trash to you. Uh,

0:50:06.560 --> 0:50:08.359
<v Speaker 6>but he was one of the guys. Now, he didn't

0:50:08.400 --> 0:50:11.440
<v Speaker 6>go out a lot in public just because of the attention,

0:50:12.040 --> 0:50:13.160
<v Speaker 6>but he liked to hang.

0:50:13.000 --> 0:50:15.239
<v Speaker 2>With the guys and play cards. And we all know

0:50:15.280 --> 0:50:17.440
<v Speaker 2>that he loves to play golf. Uh.

0:50:17.520 --> 0:50:21.040
<v Speaker 6>But again he would he wants to compete. He would

0:50:21.040 --> 0:50:23.520
<v Speaker 6>bet that he could beat you at anything, and that

0:50:23.640 --> 0:50:25.400
<v Speaker 6>if you were up for that challenge, he was always

0:50:25.440 --> 0:50:26.399
<v Speaker 6>willing to make that bet.

0:50:26.760 --> 0:50:30.560

<v Speaker 2>Man.

0:52:05.040 --> 0:52:07.359
<v Speaker 4>The Jordan team just called me said, man, you gotta

0:52:07.400 --> 0:52:08.880
<v Speaker 4>take them motherfuckers off.

0:52:09.560 --> 0:52:10.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, it's you serious.

0:52:11.080 --> 0:52:15.439
<v Speaker 4>You're going crazy, So alright, it's cool now. I ain't

0:52:15.480 --> 0:52:17.720
<v Speaker 4>taking these shoes off. He said, no, Bro, you gotta

0:52:17.760 --> 0:52:18.600
<v Speaker 4>take them shooter. Bro.

0:52:18.640 --> 0:52:18.920
<v Speaker 5>All right.

0:52:19.360 --> 0:52:21.000
<v Speaker 4>If you don't take them shoes off, bro, I'm gonna

0:52:21.040 --> 0:52:23.640
<v Speaker 4>lose my deal. I'm like, man, you know what fuck it?

0:52:23.719 --> 0:52:27.479
<v Speaker 4>Man took the shoes off? Was mad as fuck? Ended

0:52:27.560 --> 0:52:29.920
<v Speaker 4>up you know what I mean, two touchdowns one hundred

0:52:29.920 --> 0:52:33.120
<v Speaker 4>and fifty, and so after the game, I'm like, hey, bro,

0:52:33.600 --> 0:52:35.520
<v Speaker 4>was it the Jordan team that called you? Or did

0:52:35.560 --> 0:52:37.640
<v Speaker 4>Jordan call you? Because if Jordan called you, then I

0:52:37.680 --> 0:52:40.800
<v Speaker 4>ain't tripping. But if it was a team, I should

0:52:40.800 --> 0:52:42.040
<v Speaker 4>have kept them fucking shoes on.

0:52:42.680 --> 0:52:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Nah, broh, you know what I mean. I would have

0:52:45.200 --> 0:52:46.480
<v Speaker 2>loved to keep my deal man.

0:52:46.480 --> 0:52:51.080
<v Speaker 4>So I appreciate it, but it's it's something special about,

0:52:51.400 --> 0:52:52.600
<v Speaker 4>you know what I mean, putting them shoes on.

0:52:52.600 --> 0:52:54.880
<v Speaker 2>When you talk about, you know, the greats and all that.

0:52:54.960 --> 0:52:58.279
<v Speaker 4>But I'm I consider I'm playing football and I'm out

0:52:58.280 --> 0:53:01.920
<v Speaker 4>there with the twelves on. I'm thinking, like, it's really

0:53:01.960 --> 0:53:04.919
<v Speaker 4>the shoes that got me acting up like this right now,

0:53:04.960 --> 0:53:07.880
<v Speaker 4>because yeah, I mean, we wasn't even supposed to The

0:53:08.000 --> 0:53:10.280
<v Speaker 4>game was supposed to have been a We was supposed to

0:53:10.320 --> 0:53:15.200
<v Speaker 4>exploit the uh they pass defense. But for whatever reason,

0:53:15.320 --> 0:53:18.040
<v Speaker 4>once I put them Jay's on one hundred and fifty

0:53:18.080 --> 0:53:20.080
<v Speaker 4>on their ass, I say, they can't stop it. It's

0:53:20.080 --> 0:53:22.520
<v Speaker 4>got to be the shoe. They made me come up

0:53:22.520 --> 0:53:24.240
<v Speaker 4>out the motherfucker's.

0:53:23.600 --> 0:53:27.400
<v Speaker 3>Hat, Jason. Is it the shoes? Is it the shoes Jasoners,

0:53:27.480 --> 0:53:28.960
<v Speaker 3>the coaches, What the hell is it?

0:53:29.120 --> 0:53:31.560
<v Speaker 2>I look up with the shoes? With the shoes?

0:53:32.440 --> 0:53:34.439
<v Speaker 3>Is it said from a guy with a fifty million

0:53:34.520 --> 0:53:36.279
<v Speaker 3>dollar shoe contract back in the day?

0:53:36.440 --> 0:53:40.120
<v Speaker 4>Well, say I was stepping on the ass too where

0:53:40.160 --> 0:53:41.080
<v Speaker 4>I was getting to it.

0:53:43.040 --> 0:53:45.399
<v Speaker 3>By the way, Jason, did you ever imagine I mean,

0:53:46.000 --> 0:53:48.759
<v Speaker 3>you know, sort of moving, you know, a little bit

0:53:48.800 --> 0:53:51.799
<v Speaker 3>off the grades to one of the obviously, just this

0:53:52.239 --> 0:53:55.400
<v Speaker 3>the legend that is the continuous Lebron. I mean, seriously,

0:53:55.880 --> 0:53:58.239
<v Speaker 3>do you ever imagine a guy at forty years old

0:53:59.360 --> 0:54:02.000
<v Speaker 3>doing what he's doing? I mean, did you ever imagine yourself?

0:54:02.000 --> 0:54:04.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean? Or is it just stretched the mind?

0:54:04.080 --> 0:54:04.239
<v Speaker 2>Now?

0:54:04.280 --> 0:54:07.440
<v Speaker 3>And all these players are looking differently at their lives

0:54:07.440 --> 0:54:11.520
<v Speaker 3>and future and their health regimen and their workout routine offseason.

0:54:11.560 --> 0:54:13.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean, what is it? What has it done to

0:54:13.520 --> 0:54:16.279
<v Speaker 3>the to the you know, to the league itself, or

0:54:16.320 --> 0:54:19.279
<v Speaker 3>even your own thoughts about your own career looking back?

0:54:19.600 --> 0:54:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, when Lebron is doing at forty is incredible.

0:54:22.560 --> 0:54:27.600
<v Speaker 6>But it give him the flowers that he needs because

0:54:27.640 --> 0:54:31.239
<v Speaker 6>he's taking care of his body and his mind at

0:54:31.239 --> 0:54:34.359
<v Speaker 6>a very young age. He's been surrounded with people who've

0:54:34.440 --> 0:54:38.799
<v Speaker 6>told him about stretching about what to eat, how to

0:54:38.880 --> 0:54:42.000
<v Speaker 6>take care of your body. There's a number that's floating

0:54:42.000 --> 0:54:44.400
<v Speaker 6>around out there that you know how much he spends

0:54:44.560 --> 0:54:49.560
<v Speaker 6>on his body. But the return is greater than anything

0:54:49.719 --> 0:54:53.239
<v Speaker 6>than what he's doing. But on that floor right now,

0:54:53.560 --> 0:54:56.440
<v Speaker 6>I think he had thirty something the other night. He

0:54:56.520 --> 0:55:00.160
<v Speaker 6>looks like he's thirty two years old. He's playing in

0:55:00.200 --> 0:55:04.239
<v Speaker 6>the game the right way, and he's again carrying a

0:55:04.280 --> 0:55:06.840
<v Speaker 6>franchise at the age of forty, which is incredible.

0:55:07.440 --> 0:55:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Jason, did you and Marshawn? I mean back in your day,

0:55:09.719 --> 0:55:12.120
<v Speaker 1>and I know Marshawn's regiment. At times he would, uh,

0:55:12.400 --> 0:55:14.560
<v Speaker 1>he would drink some Hennessy and put a weight vest on,

0:55:14.680 --> 0:55:17.440
<v Speaker 1>run the hills of Oakland and that was his midnight routine.

0:55:18.520 --> 0:55:20.399
<v Speaker 5>And it wouldn't stretch. Would go out and do his thing.

0:55:20.719 --> 0:55:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Did you guys back in your day, there wasn't a

0:55:22.880 --> 0:55:24.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of There wasn't a lot of regiments, right, you

0:55:24.760 --> 0:55:25.320
<v Speaker 1>just go play.

0:55:25.880 --> 0:55:28.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was not the stretch.

0:55:28.160 --> 0:55:30.799
<v Speaker 6>It was more like, hey, did you have McDonald's or

0:55:30.960 --> 0:55:32.680
<v Speaker 6>or you know what, what.

0:55:35.840 --> 0:55:37.880
<v Speaker 2>Did you see? Are you going to stop by and have?

0:55:38.160 --> 0:55:41.560
<v Speaker 6>And uh, Now, it wasn't a lot of the things

0:55:41.560 --> 0:55:45.520
<v Speaker 6>that are out there today. It was about grit, about what,

0:55:45.640 --> 0:55:49.080
<v Speaker 6>you know, your superstition, Like what did you have the

0:55:49.320 --> 0:55:53.480
<v Speaker 6>last game? You kind of stayed in that territory. But

0:55:53.600 --> 0:55:56.360
<v Speaker 6>today it's it's not even close to you know, going

0:55:56.400 --> 0:55:59.680
<v Speaker 6>to have McDonald's. No, I don't quite hearing anybody going

0:55:59.680 --> 0:56:04.400
<v Speaker 6>to mc donal's. Everything is a salad, everything vegan.

0:56:06.080 --> 0:56:09.520
<v Speaker 3>So I don't think is lucky he retired. He wouldn't

0:56:09.520 --> 0:56:09.960
<v Speaker 3>be up for.

0:56:09.920 --> 0:56:14.279
<v Speaker 1>That getting your sleep and and all that stuff.

0:56:13.600 --> 0:56:18.640
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it's a different ball game. There's a lot more information. Uh,

0:56:19.080 --> 0:56:21.399
<v Speaker 6>you know, running the Hills of Oakland with the way

0:56:21.400 --> 0:56:26.400
<v Speaker 6>to invest you know, that was that was like probably primetime.

0:56:26.480 --> 0:56:28.120
<v Speaker 6>That was probably the best thing to do at that

0:56:28.239 --> 0:56:31.080
<v Speaker 6>point because that was the only thing.

0:56:31.520 --> 0:56:36.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, little Jerry Rice in that Oh yeah yeah, Hey Jason,

0:56:36.080 --> 0:56:38.319
<v Speaker 3>what you know we talked about. You know, there's an

0:56:38.320 --> 0:56:41.640
<v Speaker 3>inevitable question about the goat on the court, But I mean,

0:56:42.120 --> 0:56:44.440
<v Speaker 3>how about on the coaching ranks? I mean, was it

0:56:44.600 --> 0:56:48.200
<v Speaker 3>Larry Brown, is it Wilkins? I mean who's I mean,

0:56:48.200 --> 0:56:50.640
<v Speaker 3>who are the folks out there for your perspective that

0:56:50.680 --> 0:56:53.319
<v Speaker 3>are just the true legends in the coaching spirit. Twin

0:56:56.560 --> 0:56:59.279
<v Speaker 3>forget that soone the only reason he's bringing that up.

0:56:59.280 --> 0:57:01.120
<v Speaker 3>Someone asked me, boy, it must be cool to be

0:57:01.160 --> 0:57:04.320
<v Speaker 3>Pratt Riley's son. I'm like, it's amazing, it's incredible.

0:57:05.719 --> 0:57:05.839
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

0:57:06.760 --> 0:57:08.719
<v Speaker 6>Patti is probably one of the goats. But when you

0:57:08.760 --> 0:57:12.000
<v Speaker 6>look at what Pop has done, uh, you know in

0:57:12.080 --> 0:57:15.719
<v Speaker 6>his career, and hopefully he has the speedy recovery he's

0:57:15.760 --> 0:57:19.720
<v Speaker 6>back on the sidelines here soon. But when you look

0:57:19.760 --> 0:57:24.280
<v Speaker 6>at the great you brought up some Lenia Wilkins, I

0:57:24.280 --> 0:57:29.200
<v Speaker 6>think you look at Don Nelson when he did differently

0:57:29.280 --> 0:57:33.280
<v Speaker 6>he played. He he was different and sometimes people didn't

0:57:33.320 --> 0:57:37.720
<v Speaker 6>accept different, but I thought offensively, Uh, he opened it

0:57:37.800 --> 0:57:40.040
<v Speaker 6>up run TMC. And then when he got to Dallas

0:57:40.280 --> 0:57:44.400
<v Speaker 6>with Dirk and Nash and Finn, uh, he did things differently.

0:57:44.880 --> 0:57:47.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:57:47.480 --> 0:57:50.680
<v Speaker 6>And then when you look at what Steve Kurr has

0:57:50.720 --> 0:57:53.840
<v Speaker 6>done in Golden State, you look at uh, you know,

0:57:54.040 --> 0:57:56.520
<v Speaker 6>we got a lot of great coaches, but one of

0:57:56.520 --> 0:57:58.800
<v Speaker 6>my favorite coaches, hopefully he's up for the Hall of Fame,

0:57:58.880 --> 0:58:03.840
<v Speaker 6>is Dick Mada. Tigmata won a championship, but always was

0:58:03.840 --> 0:58:06.400
<v Speaker 6>one of those coaches that went and it was a

0:58:06.440 --> 0:58:13.040
<v Speaker 6>rebuild and helped rebuild the organization to become you know, relevant,

0:58:13.280 --> 0:58:16.280
<v Speaker 6>and I think he just never got enough credit to

0:58:16.320 --> 0:58:18.600
<v Speaker 6>do that. He was the first Dallas Mavericks coach. He

0:58:18.720 --> 0:58:22.160
<v Speaker 6>was my first coach here in Dallas, and so I

0:58:22.200 --> 0:58:25.440
<v Speaker 6>think he hopefully he gets recognized and it can make

0:58:25.480 --> 0:58:28.400
<v Speaker 6>it to the Hall of Fame here. But again, when

0:58:28.560 --> 0:58:33.480
<v Speaker 6>you talk about Pop pat Riley, uh, you know guys

0:58:33.480 --> 0:58:37.320
<v Speaker 6>who've had to deal with stars, and Phil Jackson will

0:58:37.320 --> 0:58:40.840
<v Speaker 6>be in that boat too, being able to deal with

0:58:40.960 --> 0:58:43.480
<v Speaker 6>stars to get to their level and then to get

0:58:43.560 --> 0:58:46.640
<v Speaker 6>them to perform at the highest level at the right time.

0:58:47.120 --> 0:58:50.880
<v Speaker 6>And Phil Jackson everybody talks about he's always had the

0:58:50.920 --> 0:58:53.640
<v Speaker 6>greatest but sometimes when you have the greatest player, that

0:58:53.720 --> 0:58:54.760
<v Speaker 6>doesn't always mean you're.

0:58:54.680 --> 0:58:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Going to win.

0:58:55.200 --> 0:58:58.080
<v Speaker 6>And so, uh it puts a little bit more pressure.

0:58:58.400 --> 0:59:00.560
<v Speaker 6>But I thought, again, what he did it and the

0:59:00.640 --> 0:59:03.080
<v Speaker 6>success that he's had is he goes down as one

0:59:03.160 --> 0:59:04.280
<v Speaker 6>of the best to do it.

0:59:04.560 --> 0:59:05.920
<v Speaker 5>Hey, Jay, we're just talking about it.

0:59:05.960 --> 0:59:10.240
<v Speaker 1>The incident in Sugar Bowl and the game got postponed.

0:59:10.600 --> 0:59:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Marshaun was going to the Rose Bowl the next day

0:59:12.400 --> 0:59:15.560
<v Speaker 1>and Gavin, you know, was there stuff about do we

0:59:15.600 --> 0:59:18.240
<v Speaker 1>play the rose Bow or not? As a coach and

0:59:18.360 --> 0:59:20.120
<v Speaker 1>as the team, do you guys talk about that kind

0:59:20.120 --> 0:59:23.400
<v Speaker 1>of stuff. If that happened at a game, about do

0:59:23.480 --> 0:59:25.920
<v Speaker 1>we play, do we want to play safety or is

0:59:25.920 --> 0:59:28.080
<v Speaker 1>it kind of just like it's just kind of one

0:59:28.080 --> 0:59:28.760
<v Speaker 1>of those things.

0:59:29.040 --> 0:59:33.080
<v Speaker 6>No, it's it's definitely talked about with the players because

0:59:33.360 --> 0:59:36.960
<v Speaker 6>it's about the players, it's about the safety of players

0:59:37.040 --> 0:59:40.840
<v Speaker 6>families too. A lot of times we always just focus

0:59:41.200 --> 0:59:43.800
<v Speaker 6>on the game, but if there was a family member

0:59:43.840 --> 0:59:47.160
<v Speaker 6>that was caught in something like that, that's just tragic,

0:59:47.240 --> 0:59:50.200
<v Speaker 6>and so you have to you have to think about

0:59:50.240 --> 0:59:53.400
<v Speaker 6>family and friends as much as it is just a game.

0:59:54.320 --> 0:59:59.760
<v Speaker 6>What happened is really sad, and again for that to

0:59:59.800 --> 1:00:04.000
<v Speaker 6>take place, it's just you know, hopefully that doesn't happen again,

1:00:04.480 --> 1:00:08.040
<v Speaker 6>but it does, you do talk with the players, and

1:00:08.080 --> 1:00:12.080
<v Speaker 6>then it's kind of taken out of your hands because again,

1:00:12.360 --> 1:00:15.760
<v Speaker 6>the college committee is going to decide if that game

1:00:15.840 --> 1:00:17.640
<v Speaker 6>is going to be played or not. Are those other

1:00:17.720 --> 1:00:21.400
<v Speaker 6>games are going to be postponed? And so they went

1:00:21.600 --> 1:00:27.480
<v Speaker 6>ahead and played them. But again, it's it's a sad thing, tragic,

1:00:27.680 --> 1:00:29.640
<v Speaker 6>and you never want something like that to happen.

1:00:30.200 --> 1:00:32.360
<v Speaker 1>And Jason Marshawn has talked about this in terms of

1:00:32.360 --> 1:00:35.760
<v Speaker 1>when he was playing and the fan, the levels of

1:00:35.880 --> 1:00:39.960
<v Speaker 1>fan craziness of them thinking they can you know, say

1:00:40.000 --> 1:00:40.880
<v Speaker 1>whatever and do whatever.

1:00:41.480 --> 1:00:43.680
<v Speaker 5>When you played, it was probably bad.

1:00:43.720 --> 1:00:45.520
<v Speaker 1>But now it's gotten out of control, right, I mean,

1:00:45.520 --> 1:00:48.800
<v Speaker 1>whether it be Luke or Kyrie or these legends are players. Nowadays,

1:00:49.000 --> 1:00:51.440
<v Speaker 1>these fans pay five six hundred bucks in the floor

1:00:51.880 --> 1:00:52.440
<v Speaker 1>and think.

1:00:52.280 --> 1:00:54.440
<v Speaker 5>They have the ability to say whatever and do whatever.

1:00:54.640 --> 1:00:56.760
<v Speaker 5>I mean, is it you see that now at a

1:00:56.800 --> 1:00:57.400
<v Speaker 5>different level.

1:00:57.800 --> 1:01:01.440
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it's definitely has grown. What the things that are

1:01:01.480 --> 1:01:05.880
<v Speaker 6>said to coaches or two players, Uh, gambling has I

1:01:05.880 --> 1:01:12.160
<v Speaker 6>think has an effect on that also, Uh see yeah.

1:01:11.520 --> 1:01:14.120
<v Speaker 4>Yes, and that the problem I mean at the game

1:01:14.280 --> 1:01:18.760
<v Speaker 4>is expected, like I get it at the game, but

1:01:18.960 --> 1:01:23.600
<v Speaker 4>now they have direct access to the individual.

1:01:24.160 --> 1:01:24.360
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

1:01:24.920 --> 1:01:28.280
<v Speaker 4>And it's almost I mean it's with with how social

1:01:28.400 --> 1:01:32.320
<v Speaker 4>media is, it's almost easier. Like I mean, you know

1:01:33.160 --> 1:01:36.080
<v Speaker 4>most people, you you would need their number to call

1:01:36.200 --> 1:01:38.960
<v Speaker 4>them and reach out to them and say some wild

1:01:39.040 --> 1:01:42.720
<v Speaker 4>ship like but now they can just get directly to

1:01:42.880 --> 1:01:47.040
<v Speaker 4>you through any of these social media apps. That's just

1:01:47.360 --> 1:01:49.520
<v Speaker 4>I mean, they palle up that that's a big thing

1:01:49.640 --> 1:01:53.640
<v Speaker 4>that that you know, as as I think about it,

1:01:53.720 --> 1:01:56.120
<v Speaker 4>like damn, that shit can be fucked up. But it's

1:01:56.160 --> 1:02:00.760
<v Speaker 4>only like for the players. That's like, well from me considering,

1:02:00.800 --> 1:02:04.440
<v Speaker 4>you know, I just pulled out my uh my newspaper

1:02:04.480 --> 1:02:06.880
<v Speaker 4>clip and then you know, while I'm playing, all of

1:02:06.920 --> 1:02:10.240
<v Speaker 4>a sudden, you got this new social media thing where

1:02:10.240 --> 1:02:12.959
<v Speaker 4>it's like what the fuck? But I was thinking like, damn,

1:02:13.000 --> 1:02:15.400
<v Speaker 4>how the fuck do these you know, these little get

1:02:16.760 --> 1:02:19.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, acclimated with it. But the thing is they

1:02:19.120 --> 1:02:22.919
<v Speaker 4>grow up with it, so they they actually like they

1:02:23.000 --> 1:02:26.440
<v Speaker 4>live it. This is their means of communication and you

1:02:26.440 --> 1:02:28.600
<v Speaker 4>know how they deal with it because I mean, uh,

1:02:28.680 --> 1:02:30.800
<v Speaker 4>you know the ship with the with the young boy

1:02:30.880 --> 1:02:35.280
<v Speaker 4>right now? Uh, Travis Hunter, like how you know everybody

1:02:35.320 --> 1:02:38.320
<v Speaker 4>talking about you know what I mean, his his his

1:02:38.320 --> 1:02:40.560
<v Speaker 4>his business and ship. I'm just thinking, like fuck, what

1:02:41.800 --> 1:02:45.000
<v Speaker 4>the main focus is about? Nothing that anybody should be

1:02:45.000 --> 1:02:47.600
<v Speaker 4>folks Like how you deal with that as a as

1:02:47.640 --> 1:02:50.760
<v Speaker 4>a person considering Like I'm here to you know what

1:02:50.800 --> 1:02:51.840
<v Speaker 4>I mean, play my sport.

1:02:51.880 --> 1:02:53.720
<v Speaker 2>But this is what y'all choose to talk to?

1:02:53.840 --> 1:02:54.440
<v Speaker 5>Did Gavis?

1:02:54.440 --> 1:02:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Travis Hunter got ripped because his girlfriend or Fielance say whatever,

1:02:57.720 --> 1:03:01.280
<v Speaker 1>didn't stand up or whatever, and during the the ceremony, Yeah,

1:03:01.280 --> 1:03:02.439
<v Speaker 1>it's sort of what's ripping this guy?

1:03:02.560 --> 1:03:04.240
<v Speaker 5>Like, it's like, dude, like, what does it have to

1:03:04.240 --> 1:03:04.960
<v Speaker 5>do with playing the game.

1:03:05.200 --> 1:03:07.360
<v Speaker 3>It's interesting the combination of social media. But I think

1:03:07.360 --> 1:03:09.120
<v Speaker 3>going back to what Jason was saying too, just the

1:03:09.160 --> 1:03:11.960
<v Speaker 3>gambling side, it was interesting. I was in the airport

1:03:11.960 --> 1:03:15.160
<v Speaker 3>a few months ago and a major league gumpire came

1:03:15.240 --> 1:03:17.200
<v Speaker 3>up to me and wanted to say hello. We started

1:03:17.240 --> 1:03:19.280
<v Speaker 3>chatting and I said, you know, he'd been in the

1:03:19.320 --> 1:03:22.160
<v Speaker 3>league for a few decades, loved it. He said I'm

1:03:22.240 --> 1:03:23.880
<v Speaker 3>done though, And I said, why are you done? He goes,

1:03:23.960 --> 1:03:26.280
<v Speaker 3>I got to retire because it's out of control, the gambling.

1:03:26.360 --> 1:03:28.200
<v Speaker 3>I said, what does that mean? He goes. I said,

1:03:28.200 --> 1:03:29.600
<v Speaker 3>how does that affect to you? He says, I'm getting

1:03:29.640 --> 1:03:33.400
<v Speaker 3>threats all the time. It's not with combination of social media.

1:03:33.880 --> 1:03:36.840
<v Speaker 3>Every ball and strike, he says, I'm done. I'm tapping out.

1:03:37.280 --> 1:03:39.320
<v Speaker 3>So it's you know, it's interesting, Jason, just from the

1:03:39.400 --> 1:03:41.520
<v Speaker 3>and it goes to your question, Doug, just the fan

1:03:41.640 --> 1:03:46.160
<v Speaker 3>experience and this sort of their sense of entitlement and

1:03:46.280 --> 1:03:48.640
<v Speaker 3>right to know because they've got something on the line themselves,

1:03:48.720 --> 1:03:51.560
<v Speaker 3>not just the players. So that that's something we're going

1:03:51.640 --> 1:03:54.200
<v Speaker 3>to have to obviously have to get our arms around Jason,

1:03:54.200 --> 1:03:56.720
<v Speaker 3>What's I mean again, what's is the league having real

1:03:56.800 --> 1:03:58.000
<v Speaker 3>conversations in this space?

1:03:58.480 --> 1:04:02.640
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, the league, it's definitely having a lot that our

1:04:02.760 --> 1:04:05.680
<v Speaker 6>kids are dealing with. Uh, but not you know, just

1:04:05.760 --> 1:04:07.840
<v Speaker 6>as you brought up, not just the players, but you

1:04:07.920 --> 1:04:10.880
<v Speaker 6>have the officials, you have the coaches. You know, there's

1:04:10.920 --> 1:04:14.400
<v Speaker 6>there's so many people who have effect on a on

1:04:14.480 --> 1:04:19.000
<v Speaker 6>a game and that are being reached because of the platforms.

1:04:19.680 --> 1:04:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Uh. And so it's something that we have to do

1:04:23.240 --> 1:04:23.920
<v Speaker 2>a deep dive.

1:04:24.560 --> 1:04:24.680
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

1:04:24.880 --> 1:04:25.320
<v Speaker 2>We don't.

1:04:25.440 --> 1:04:28.680
<v Speaker 6>We want to protect the game, but also we want

1:04:28.720 --> 1:04:31.960
<v Speaker 6>to protect the individuals because this is this is We're

1:04:32.000 --> 1:04:35.800
<v Speaker 6>all human, We're not AI. You know, we have feelings,

1:04:36.160 --> 1:04:39.040
<v Speaker 6>you know, and so when someone is at the airport,

1:04:39.080 --> 1:04:42.320
<v Speaker 6>you know, going at you, this isn't the game. As

1:04:42.400 --> 1:04:45.720
<v Speaker 6>Marshawn talked about, we accept the game. The game is

1:04:45.760 --> 1:04:48.160
<v Speaker 6>fine to cheer and say what you want to say,

1:04:48.200 --> 1:04:51.160
<v Speaker 6>but when you're at the airport or going to a restaurant,

1:04:51.680 --> 1:04:53.120
<v Speaker 6>that that's unacceptable.

1:04:54.240 --> 1:04:59.560
<v Speaker 3>Amen. Well what is uh, what is very acceptable is

1:04:59.720 --> 1:05:03.120
<v Speaker 3>our attitude for you, Jason, for you know, and we

1:05:03.160 --> 1:05:05.560
<v Speaker 3>haven't gotten to you being the father then am triple

1:05:05.600 --> 1:05:07.480
<v Speaker 3>double and what in the world would have looked like

1:05:07.560 --> 1:05:09.720
<v Speaker 3>in a three point world if you had sort of

1:05:09.720 --> 1:05:13.479
<v Speaker 3>honed that in and had those opportunities back in the old,

1:05:13.880 --> 1:05:17.760
<v Speaker 3>the og days. But man, it's great to have you.

1:05:17.960 --> 1:05:22.800
<v Speaker 3>There's a you know, I love. Quoting the great Jerry

1:05:22.880 --> 1:05:24.480
<v Speaker 3>Garcia said, you don't want to be the best of

1:05:24.520 --> 1:05:26.160
<v Speaker 3>the best. You want to be the only one that

1:05:26.200 --> 1:05:28.520
<v Speaker 3>does what you do. And you look at your career

1:05:28.560 --> 1:05:34.160
<v Speaker 3>and everything you've done across so many different decades. It's

1:05:34.400 --> 1:05:37.000
<v Speaker 3>a hell of a life you're living and we're looking

1:05:37.000 --> 1:05:38.840
<v Speaker 3>forward to the future. Thanks for being with us, buddy.

1:05:38.840 --> 1:05:40.040
