1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Welcome to this week Uncut in the world NBA News.

2
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: Chris Haynes works time. It's some time. This ligun Cut

3
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: is underway the fire. This should be a good one. Everybody.

4
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us for a very special edition of

5
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: this League Uncut. We've got a special guest. But I

6
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,279
Speaker 1: want to give a little build up first, staying here

7
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: with Chris Haynes. March twenty second, the Warriors came to Dallas,

8
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: and everybody kind of sees that as the protest game.

9
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,959
Speaker 1: That what that's that's what that game is known for.

10
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: The Dallas Mavericks filed a protest over a play in

11
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: the third quarter protest and I but I don't want

12
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: to talk about all that because to me, the most

13
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: important thing that happened was after the game, in the

14
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: hallway near the Warrior's locker room, I ran into a

15
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: famous podcaster named Draymond Green, and I made him a proposal,

16
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: and I said, how about we do a home and

17
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: home podcast where he comes on with Chris and I

18
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: and then eventually down the road we go on his

19
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: pod and face the music and take some questions about

20
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: the media that I'm sure he's been wanting to ask us.

21
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: For a while, and somehow, some way I convinced him

22
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: that this was a good idea. So welcome to this league,

23
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: uncut A hearty welcome to Draymond Green from the Golden

24
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: State Warriors. Siny. I appreciated my brother. I'm excited, Hayes,

25
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: thank you. Drey definitely got the short end of that

26
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: deal right there. I might get Executive of the Year

27
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: for that trade, because this pod needs him more than

28
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: his pod needs us. Tell me about it. Try. I

29
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: appreciate you brought up for coming down, man. Absolutely, Man, No,

30
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I'm excited. I you know, I don't. I

31
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: don't ever look at it that way. Obviously, UM, my

32
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: podcast has garnered a lot of attention, but I know

33
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: that attention is not possible without support, you know, and

34
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: that support from you guys in the media, that support

35
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: from the NBA. Um, you know, that's support obviously from

36
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: the fans and listeners. So I don't. I don't take

37
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: that for granted at all. And I never look at it,

38
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: um that way, although I know you are half joking,

39
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: but I never look at it that way. I see this,

40
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: you know, um, and I always speak about old media

41
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: and new media and The thing that I always think

42
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: is lost in translation is there there's a space for both.

43
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: And I think you know that's everyone always lose that

44
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: side of it. And so you know, like you guys know,

45
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: I maintain a great relationship with you guys because I

46
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: I think it's totally necessary. And then now you hands

47
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: but Stiney, I love Stiney to death. That's understand, No

48
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: offense taken, No offense taken. I understand. Now I gotta

49
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: hype man, I needed to. Um, Well, let's just get

50
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: to it. Um. This is obviously the fourth time that

51
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: the Warriors have defended a championship. Where would you rank

52
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: it in terms of has this been the hardest title defense?

53
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: That's what it looks like to me as an outsider.

54
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: It's been the hardest UM title defense. And quite frankly,

55
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: I think, um, it's warranted. It's warranted in several ways. Uh.

56
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: You know, when you get when you get to a

57
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: space of like where we are, where we've won now

58
00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: four championships, that get between you and other guys, it

59
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: continues to grow and grow well with that gap. Growing

60
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: is also the experience or lack thereof, And I think

61
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: for us, where we've done this now, like you said

62
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: four times, for the vast majority of our group, this

63
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: is the first time and learning how to defend a

64
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: championship while growing into different roles. Like for instance, I'll

65
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: use Jonathan Cominga as an example. Jonathan Cominga is defending

66
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: his first championship. Jonathan Comminga is also growing as a

67
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: player and as an individual as a young man, you know,

68
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: learning how to play a role in the NBA, learning

69
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: the things that you need to do, get in consistent minutes,

70
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: whereas he didn't play consistent minutes last year. And so

71
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: there's a learning curve that comes with that, and I

72
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: think you know you've seen us be a product of

73
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: that learning curve. By no means that my saying our

74
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: season is Johnathan community as far, I hope no one

75
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: takes that that way. But there's a learning curve that

76
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: comes with learning how to defend the championship, and we've

77
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: experienced that a bit, Dreen. When you talk about defending

78
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: championships and this season being the hardest, I'm I'm talking

79
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: about you individually. Now when you look at your defensive run,

80
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: you know, tell me this, Dre. So I've always thought

81
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: about this, like when it's time for voters to put

82
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: in their ballots, when it's time for righters putting their

83
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: ballots for all defensive teams. Defense is always probably the

84
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: toughest award to try to, you know, get a CADID finalized,

85
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: because unlike points, you know, defense, there's not a stat

86
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: like so you got defensive, you got defensive rating, you

87
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: got team defensive ratings. But I think, Dre Marley, let

88
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: me know what you think about this. I think there

89
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: needs to be not an advanced analytic, but just a

90
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: regular analytics on a regular stat I should say, on

91
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: let's see what an opponent's field goal percentage is against Draymond.

92
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: Let's see how often Draymond can make them miss, make

93
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: them either pass the ball or turn. And that's an

94
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: easy stat you can, you know, because you know it's

95
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: it's hard to if you're not watching Warriors get out

96
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: of play. But if there's another team out there and

97
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: the player is dominant on a subpart team, a lot

98
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: of writers are voters are not watching that game, and

99
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: so they they can't tell if a guy's a good

100
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: defended because defense is not all about steals and blocks. Absolutely,

101
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: it's about shutting your man down like doing the best

102
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: to limit is um defense, but there's not a stat

103
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: for that. What is the best way for you? You

104
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: think that voters can look at that a defensive player

105
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: and try to judge on if he's good or not.

106
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: But I think, I think one of the things that

107
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: ends up happening and you kind of just hinted at it,

108
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: it's like if you're not watching, it's hard to gauge it,

109
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,239
Speaker 1: you know, because like for instance, if you watch it,

110
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: or if you watch stats per se steals or blocks,

111
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: it doesn't always tell the story. Quite frankly, there are

112
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: a lot of terrible defenders that just play passing lays.

113
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: And so if you get steals, like are you're playing

114
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: a passing lain, how many all right, say you had

115
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: two steals, But how many backdoor cuts did you give up?

116
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: Or how many bad rotations did you forced? Because you're

117
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: playing a passinglain and I faked you and went the

118
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: other way and now you're on a position, And so

119
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: I think from that standpoint, it's always hard to gauge.

120
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: Another thing that makes those things hard to gauge is

121
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: this ninety percent of the time that my man run

122
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: into a pick and roll, the guy waves him away,

123
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: and now I have to go stand on the backside

124
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: or try to involve myself in the action some other

125
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: way because they won't bring me into the pick and roll.

126
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: You know, they won't bring me into the action. It's

127
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: like if the coach go out out and draw up

128
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: an action, they're they're putting the guy who I'm guarding

129
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: away from the place, so I'm not in the action.

130
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: Like if you watch our game against the Thunder, the

131
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: most recent game against the Thunder, if you watch like

132
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: the last eight minutes of that game, I was switching

133
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: my matchup like every other possession because I knew what

134
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: they were trying to do. They were trying to get

135
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: certain defenders in the action, and they were trying to

136
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: figure out who I was guarding and didn't go away

137
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: from that. So I start switching my matchup like every

138
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: other possession to get involved, just to get involved in

139
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: the action. And so I do think at some point

140
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: if there was some stats or something that we can

141
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: come up with to quantify defense, it would be great,

142
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: like like people quantify points, you know, But it just

143
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: hasn't happened, and I try not to worry about it

144
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: too much. But in the same token, I think it

145
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: is a bit unfair two defenders, because you don't necessarily

146
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: get that that notoriety or that thing that offensive player

147
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: may get just by scoring points and just by gett

148
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: an assist, because it's easy to just pick up the

149
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 1: sheet of paper and read the number. Maybe this is defense,

150
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: Maybe it's somewhere else. What do you do better at

151
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: thirty three than you did at twenty five, And what

152
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: do you wish you had from when you were twenty

153
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: five compared to now. I think something that I do

154
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: a lot better now is I used to overhelp so much.

155
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: I used to overhelp a ton, and you can kind

156
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: of take advantage of that. I would be on three

157
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: point shooters and I would still just go to help,

158
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: and three point shooters just sit out there and shoot

159
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: my eyeball out. And I had to learn that. And

160
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: that's something I would say over the last couple yours,

161
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: like Coach Kerry used to literally struggle to leave me

162
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: on a shooter and like try to get me off

163
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: a shooter because I would struggle with that, Like that

164
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: was an area that I would really struggle with. And

165
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: I took that as a challenge because it got to

166
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: a point to where I start feeling disrespected, a like

167
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: coach would say, well, we can't put Draymond on this guy.

168
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: And it's like that guy actually sucks, like he just

169
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: stands there and hope to catch the ball. What do

170
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: you mean you can't put me on that guy? And

171
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: so I took that as a little disrespect, and that

172
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: was something that I wanted to focus not disrespect literally,

173
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: but I wanted to focus on that and lock in

174
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: and be like, like, no, I can guard I can

175
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: guard anyone. And and for me, that was a challenge

176
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: from within to say, like you walk around and you say, man,

177
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: I can guard anyone. I can guard one through five,

178
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: and yet you can't guard the guy that stands there

179
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: and spot up. That's an issue. And so that was

180
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: something that I really took the heart and wanted to

181
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: be much better at, was just learning how to guard shooters,

182
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 1: because that was something that I just wasn't that good at.

183
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: And what would Professor Green's theory be to explain? Every

184
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: time I look, the Warriors are in the top five

185
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: defensively at home and the bottom five defensively on the road.

186
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: It's been all season usually like third and twenty eight,

187
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: and I don't have an explanation for it. Why is

188
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: this happening? Well, I think I think when I look

189
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: at it, I was saying this the other day to

190
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: a couple of close friends at home, and I think

191
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: over the last week or two, it's just started to

192
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: turn the corner, which is our offense. I felt like

193
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: our offense offense works in layers, especially our offense, like

194
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 1: at certain points throughout the season, you unlock certain layers

195
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: to your offense. And I felt like until maybe two

196
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: weeks ago, we were still on layer one, and and

197
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: being on layer one, what happens is the shots that

198
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 1: we're taking at home, maybe you know, there may be

199
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: a little questionable, and but you can overcome that at home,

200
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: you know, And and let's be let's be honest, you're

201
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: gonna hit more of those questionable shots at home than

202
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: you are when you're on the road. But only getting

203
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: into layer one of the offense will require you to

204
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: take a bunch of tough shots. Bell out shots as

205
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 1: what we like to call them. Yere Steph Curry to

206
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: Bell you out, Klay Thompson of bell you out, Jordan

207
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 1: Pool of bell you all the time. But on the

208
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: road those shots aren't going to go in at the

209
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: same rate as they do at home. Also, your margin

210
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: for error on the road is much slimmer than it

211
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: is at home. And so I think when you watch

212
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: this team in our offense until recently still being on

213
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: the first layer, I think a lot of times that

214
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: affected our defense in the major way, because now all

215
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: of a sudden, those shots don't go in. You're giving

216
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: up transition buckets because the floor is a balance on

217
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: top of those guys who are you're playing with now

218
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: on the road, they're shooting lights out, you know, as

219
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 1: opposed to when they're coming to your gym. Role players

220
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: don't technically shoot that well on the road or play

221
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: that well on the road. Now you go to their

222
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: home and those same shots they're knocking them down their money.

223
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: You couple that with turnovers and bad shot selection, which

224
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: we've been pretty too, and I think we've started to

225
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: get better at, and it makes it a lot tougher

226
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: for your defense to survive. Then what do you face.

227
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:01,599
Speaker 1: You face, You face bad body language, you face the

228
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: letdown you face you know, Uh, Now all of a sudden,

229
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: guys are feeling sorry for themselves, and you can't play

230
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: defense that way. You can't shut anyone down that way.

231
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: And I think it's been a mixture of those things

232
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: in our home and our way defense, Drey. You bring

233
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: up you know how body linguage gets down and start

234
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: to have your head down, and you know sometimes I

235
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: can affect play if you get in that position. So

236
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: I gotta bring this up because I had a front

237
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: row seat to this game, Drey. It was a game

238
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: you guys played the Pelicans. I believe it was last week,

239
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: and I have to so I'm working sidelines for that game, Drey,

240
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: I thought you was gonna get kicked out. I didn't

241
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: think you was gonna last you. I'm telling you right now,

242
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: if I can say what the stuff Dray Bard was

243
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: saying to those Pelicans that like that was a master cancer,

244
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't say it. I can't say it.

245
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: Only Draken said if you wanted to. But I'm watching,

246
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: I'm watching what he's saying to everybody, everybody on the Pelicans,

247
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm looking over at the Pelicans to

248
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: see how they're gonna respond, and I'm being I'm being

249
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: dead serious with you, like nobody wanted to take it there.

250
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: You know you've seen it, and so the only thing

251
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm concerned about, I'm like, because dray already picked up

252
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: a technical already, So I'm like, he's not making it

253
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: because Drey's still going. But I'm still looking. I'm looking.

254
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Zion, I'm looking at everybody. I'm looking.

255
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, who's gonna take that? Like, who's gonna take

256
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: it there? And nobody took it there? The game changed.

257
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: The game changed from that point on. And I kid

258
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: you not, Stein, I would not have predicted the outcome

259
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: to turn out the way that it did. But I

260
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: think Drey to your to your point, I think you

261
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: have I think that's what people don't see is that

262
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: I think people say that Drey loses is cool sometimes

263
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: And and I will on the radio a radio show

264
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: in the Bay Area the next day and I said,

265
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: a lot of times, y'all gotta give him more credit.

266
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: There's a lot of he has a method to his madness.

267
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: Could you just talk me through, Like, when you get

268
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: in some of those I don't know what you would

269
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: call them, you know, I don't I don't know what

270
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: you would call those type of situations. But when you

271
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: get in that mode. What are you trying to accomplish

272
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: and what are you trying to see from the opposition. Well,

273
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: a few things. Number one is how they're going to

274
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: respond to you turning the pressure up against them, how

275
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: they're going to respond to you challenging them. And by

276
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: the way, it gets to a point of where I'm

277
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: challenging you at basketball or whatever else you want that

278
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: challenge to be in, I'm willing to go there. But

279
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: I think the thing that people often miss is the

280
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: challenge to my teammates, because just as much as I

281
00:16:55,040 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: am challenging those guys in that situation, I'm possibly more

282
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: even more challenging to my teammates because a few things

283
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: has to happen, number one, and most importantly, you gotta

284
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: ride with me, because if you're not gonna ride with me,

285
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: then then it's over. It's off for nothing anyway, And

286
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: so number one, I need to see who's going to

287
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: ride with me. And I think oftentimes that gets lost

288
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: in all of it. I'm in that game and this

289
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: one in particular, and I'm like, yo, we're dead, like

290
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: we got nothing going, we have no energy. And like

291
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: a couple of times I went to the bench and

292
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, somebody brings some energy. Like someone said

293
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:44,959
Speaker 1: to me on the bench, like, yo, Draymond, we need

294
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 1: you to bring like we need some energy. And I said, Yo,

295
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: it can't be me every night that gotta that gotta

296
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: just muster up the energy. Somebody else gotta bring some

297
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: energy at some point. That's one time out. Next time

298
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: we go back to the time out and I'm like, yo,

299
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: like what's up man, Like somebody brings some energy, like

300
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: this is ridiculous, blah blah blah nothing. So now I'm like,

301
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: all right, this is the last resort. I gotta go

302
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: out here and like completely flip this game upside down

303
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: to see if we'll respond to that, because with that

304
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: being the last resort, if we don't respond to that,

305
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: our seasons over anywhere. Like I felt like that game,

306
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: like we didn't win that game, that was it, Like

307
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: from not just from a numbers perspective, but from a

308
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: moral compass perspective. Emotionally, that was it. The scene was

309
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: done if we didn't win that game. And so for me,

310
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: I said, well, I'm going out here and I'm challenging everybody,

311
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: but even more than I'm going to challenge them I'm

312
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: challenging my guys. And when it happened, you could immediately see, Okay,

313
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: I knew right away, guy was answering the bell. It

314
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: didn't quite change right away, like you know, stuff was

315
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: going bad and we needed to really like turn it.

316
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 1: But you can see the tie had turned. You could

317
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: see they were no longer big and bolstrious. How they

318
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: were all of a sudden. The very next place, CJ

319
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: get a wide open lay up at the rim and

320
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: throw it off the backboard right b I come in.

321
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: He get to this spot that he gets to and

322
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 1: he don't miss missed it badly, and so him like, oh,

323
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: we got him. We turned the ball over a couple

324
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: more times. They hit a couple of threes and it

325
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: got and it felt like, oh they responded. I knew

326
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: right then, like, no, we turned it over. They got

327
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: a couple of threes, they made them, but they hadn't responded.

328
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: And so in that situation, I'm like, all right, like

329
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: we got something. I walked into the locker room at

330
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: halftime and I told our guys, I said, Yo, I'm

331
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: just telling y'all these dudes quit. They quit already. They

332
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: just hit a couple of shots because we turn the

333
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: ball over. So let's come out this high and I'm

334
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: coming out on that same thing. I'm coming out just

335
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: the way I left, and let's go. We could go

336
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: take this game. But I had told Dante Defencenzo in

337
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: that instant. Dante was like, yo, man, we can't have

338
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,959
Speaker 1: you get kicked out. I said, Tay, where I am

339
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: right now. I cannot flip back. I'm too inn it.

340
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: I can't flip back. But I'm gonna tell you this day,

341
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 1: whether I'm in this game or I get thrown out

342
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 1: of this game, this game is won. Whether I'm in

343
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: it or not, we are going to win this game.

344
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: I got the game right where I needed that. They're

345
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: about to fold. So whether I get thrown out or

346
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: not take we're gonna win this game. And that's how

347
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: I felt. And so, like I said, to get back

348
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: to your question, I know I explained a lot, but

349
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: so many times people people can't see the game within

350
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: the game. They don't understand the game within the game,

351
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: and for me, I oftentimes have to play that game

352
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: within the game, and it comes with backlish ship comes

353
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: with people saying this and saying that, and quite frankly

354
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: not understanding me. But if I spend all my time

355
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: trying to get people to understand me, I missed the

356
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: boat anyway, And when you talk about people that understand you,

357
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: so I'm not gonna say I was in that boat.

358
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: But when I came from Joy, I remember I was

359
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: covering the cavaliers and I came over to cover you guys.

360
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember this, Dre, but you

361
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: was looking at me funny. Initially, at what point you

362
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: saying something. You call me a spy for the came

363
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: you call me a spine for the cat. I'm like, yo, yo,

364
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: we're spying on us. Man. I know, but I remember,

365
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: so I believe it's that first year I covered you guys,

366
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: and you put on and to me, this is me

367
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: covering the league twelve years now. That was the finest

368
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: defensive years I've seen anybody play Individually. You end up

369
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: winning your first defensive player the only defensive Player of

370
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: the Year award, and I just see you in a

371
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: new light, obviously being around you and seeing what you

372
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: do and just seeing the like what you say. Like

373
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, there's times where teams called plays pick and

374
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 1: role plays, but then they see you coming over. Now,

375
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: We're not gonna no, we're not gonna use that action

376
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: because the little things like that. So the disappointment that

377
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: I that I sense when I'm talking to players or

378
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: hearing players when I don't see I get disappointment when

379
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: I don't hear them giving the same praise because they

380
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: play this game. So you know, you got a lot

381
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: of players out here that that you know, take Dylon Brooks.

382
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: You know, Dillon Brooks said what he said, and you

383
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: know there's other players foot that way. There's people that

384
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: say Draymond wouldn't thrive and on another team, you know,

385
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: he's only right for this team. Like when you hear

386
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,479
Speaker 1: that stuff like does that get like from your peers?

387
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: Does does that bother you? And then secondly the second

388
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: question of that dre after Dyllan Brooks said all that stuff.

389
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this, but there was

390
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: a quote from him when he got drafted he wanted

391
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: to beat unless you have the floor, Unless you have

392
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: the floor. Do I get upset or does it get

393
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: under my scan when people say that? No, because I

394
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: also understand that eighty percent of my peers don't even

395
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: understand the game of basketball. Um and and So you know,

396
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: I've said numerous times, you got guys in the NBA

397
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: that don't know how to play um, which I do

398
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: not understand and will never understand that. You always hear

399
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: that guys don't know the plays. How do you not

400
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: know the plays? Well, they know the plays because you've

401
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: walked through them a million times, but they don't know

402
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: how to play. Like you know, you you turn on

403
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: League Pass and rust as shore. You want to see

404
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: some guys that don't know how to play, just start

405
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: flicking through League Pass. You see it real quick. Guys

406
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: don't know how to play basketball. So I'm very thankful

407
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: to her uncle Benny and Coach Speedy and Coach Dawkins

408
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: and Tom Izzo, you know, on laying a foundation and

409
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: teaching me how to play the game of basketball, because

410
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: there's so many guys that just don't know how. And

411
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: so when you speak and say um your peers, some

412
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: of your peers are gonna say or they do say

413
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: or feel like. You wouldn't be that anywhere else. It's

414
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: easy to say that now, but I am one of

415
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: the creators of the style of basketball that we play.

416
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: So when I when I arrived at this team, this

417
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: team won twenty three games and was not a dynast,

418
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: was not a powerhouse. So how did I figure it out? Like?

419
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: Was it just um, all right, Stephan and Claire were here,

420
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: so now you through Draymond in with them, and Draymond benefited,

421
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: Like it doesn't really you know, like it doesn't really

422
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: add up. And so when when when guys do say that,

423
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: I just have an understanding of how misguided they are,

424
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: how much they don't understand. But quite frankly, another reason

425
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: why it doesn't get under my skin because there's not

426
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: really many guys in the league, if any, that can

427
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: say that with any merit, or say that with confidence

428
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: that they've done something to outdo me in this league,

429
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: or to have a better resume than me, or have

430
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: one more than me. There's not many people with a

431
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: better resume, And you don't build the resume I have

432
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: just by benefiting off being on the team like that.

433
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: Just it doesn't work that way. And so no, it

434
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: doesn't get under my skin at all. When Dylan Brooks

435
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: said what he said, I found it quite funny. I

436
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: wasn't even going to respond to it. And then I

437
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: was sitting there doing that podcast and I'm in Memphis,

438
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I started reading it and then I

439
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: just started responding to like every sensor, Like why not,

440
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: I'll just go sensors by sensors and respond to it.

441
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: And that's kind of what happened. But it doesn't get

442
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: under my skin. And like you know, I've had conversations

443
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: with Dylan Brooks, like you know, telling him what he

444
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: needed to do, and I'm I am, I take really

445
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: seriously on trying to teach young guys in this league

446
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: the next thing and trying to show them the way

447
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: and trying to be a vet and the guy that

448
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 1: they can look at. I always say I had Pete

449
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: Myers was an assistant coach but also like a vet

450
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: to me as well, my rook first couple of years

451
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: in the league. And Pete used to tell me, he said,

452
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: Draymond just want you to never forget two things. Number

453
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: one is you get paid in this league for the

454
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: next guy to get paid. Number Two, you have a

455
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: responsibility in this league to leave the league in a

456
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: better place than you found it. And so I take

457
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: that to heart and I try to teach guys and

458
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: I've had conversations with Dillan Brooks telling him what he

459
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: needs to do. There's pictures out there and me talking

460
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 1: in this era after we beat his ass and different

461
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: you know, and different things of that nature, and you know,

462
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: helping him. And by the way, I don't have any

463
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: hard feelings. Man, We're playing basketball, bro, like this, this

464
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: is basketball. At the end of the day, I'm gonna

465
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 1: go home and be with my family. You're gonna go

466
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: home and be with your family. I still have things

467
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: that I could teach him. The thurs An opportunity, I

468
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: was still teaching those things. It's a very competitive league, man,

469
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: And I love that you want to compete in that way.

470
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: I love that you know you're willing to put yourself

471
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: out there that way. That don't bother me at all,

472
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: Like it doesn't get under my skin at all. But

473
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: if you're going to do those things, know that it's

474
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: some heat that comes with that, and know that I'm

475
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: always gonna be willing to go there, and I'll go

476
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: there with you as much as you want to. But

477
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: you gotta build a resume if you're gonna go there.

478
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: And you can't say stuff like that and then have

479
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 1: clips around the internet floating around like that, because it's

480
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: just it makes you look like the fan that I

481
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: had already said he was. Mark Stein back with you.

482
