1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,600 Speaker 1: If you don't know d Rose, you know he's a 2 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: candy guy. I can't say if he's still a candy guy. 3 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: Boys heard, but he always had a bag of candy. 4 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: Every road trip. He would just hand me a candy 5 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: that I never seen before, Like I never whether it 6 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 1: be some gummies, some hard candy. It was like to 7 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,959 Speaker 1: a point where I'm like, where are you getting these? 8 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: Like I'm a candy guy too, but I've never seen 9 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: these flavors. I've never seen these bags. And it sucks 10 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: because I can't even tell you that like the brand 11 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: of candy. It was just every time he like we 12 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: sit right next to each other, He'll be like, here 13 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: you go. I t I'm like some candy that I'd 14 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: never seen. So it was just it was super dope 15 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 1: because and I remember one time he gave me some candy. 16 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: He's like, you can always go to a local CBS. 17 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 1: They'll be in the back of the store. I remember 18 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: going to we play we played the Washington Wizards one time, 19 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: and we're I think he's available, but I'm still hurt 20 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: at the time. Yeah, and we go, we me and him, 21 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: we go to CBS across the street. This is me 22 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: and d Rose go to CBS and he points out 23 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: the candy like this is where I go to get 24 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: some of my my little stash of candy. 25 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 2: So he's got the he got the spots, he got this, 26 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 2: he got the bag of can't, he got the backpack foola, 27 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 2: just pulling out different candies at all times. 28 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 3: Welcome back to Point Game. Today's show, we are talking about, 29 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 3: you know, the trade stuff again. Jannest and jaw they're 30 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 3: both hurt going to the trade deadline, but it's that 31 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 3: gonna affect things. We're gonna talk about it for a 32 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 3: little bit. We've been talking about it a lot in 33 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 3: the past few weeks. But of course we're going to 34 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 3: talk about d Rose, who easily one of my favorite 35 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 3: players in the last twenty years. I know it. You 36 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 3: shared a lot of great memories and probably had some 37 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 3: battles with him and some stories to share. And then 38 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 3: we're also gonna talk about some funny and sort of 39 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 3: off the wall moments have been happening in the NBA 40 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 3: in the last week or so. But it t how 41 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 3: you feeling, man, you escaped the Seattle weather. I know 42 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 3: you're in LA right now. How you feeling. 43 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: I'm feeling good? Man, you know, I've been in some 44 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: crazy weather in the last few days. I was in 45 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: Denver this weekend. Man, my youngest son had a basketball tournament, 46 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: so that it was like seven eight degrees. It started 47 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 1: snowing yesterday. Then I went back home. I had to 48 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: drop the family off. That weather is just at least 49 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: it's dry, but it's cold and it's not rainy. And 50 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: they obviously getting to LA. It's always a good time 51 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: having some sun and some warm weather. So I've been 52 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: I've been getting some little miles on my on my 53 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: on my airplane stuff. I'm in LA. I'm ready to, 54 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: you know, talk hoop, have a good little conversation about 55 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: some basketball. Yeah. 56 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 3: Man, I'm in Indianapolis right now for some of you 57 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 3: guys who know that, and we are snowed in, got 58 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 3: some cabin fi here, and I've been watching some hoop 59 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,399 Speaker 3: and that's what's keeping me saying. I've been playing basketball 60 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 3: with my son inside. His rules are crazy as a 61 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 3: three a half. I'll tell you that my show. He's an 62 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 3: all time offense. Like, what are you talking about? 63 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: So you're a defender. 64 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 3: I'm working on my defense. 65 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: He got you already on that. 66 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 3: So it's good to talk to a different person aside 67 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 3: from my family. But let's get into the news here. 68 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 3: So we've been talking about it. Jannis and Jaw both hurt, 69 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 3: not you know, going into the trade deadline, but they 70 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 3: were already two superstars that we had our eyes on 71 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 3: coming up in this trade deadline. To me, and I 72 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 3: would love to hear your thoughts and then we can 73 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 3: move on. But to me, this is just like it's 74 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 3: almost it's the Nail and the Coffin with their time 75 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 3: with their teams right now. Something's got to give, something's 76 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 3: got to happen. I don't feel like you know, of course, 77 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 3: these injuries happened at a bad time, but I think 78 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 3: the teams that want them, this is your chance to 79 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 3: go for and we just need to get this done. 80 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 3: What are you thinking about both those guys, I. 81 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: Think more so with the John Morant situation, I think 82 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: it's a time for a change of scenery. Yeah, I 83 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: don't know if it's going to happen. I think if 84 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: one of those guys get traded, it'd be a domino 85 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: effect for the rest of the league. Everybody would be 86 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: in panic mode trying to see how they can shape 87 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: their roster for you know, this final run headed into 88 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: the playoffs after the All Star weekend, and then you 89 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: got Giannis, Like, that's a tough one. If you've listened 90 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: to his postgame interviews, you can just tell that energy 91 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: is not there. Last couple of games I think he 92 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 1: got I think last game before he got hurt, he 93 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: had eight shots. The game before that he had he 94 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 1: he mentioned something about I don't know how I'm not 95 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 1: getting attempts up. So it's like, if you follow that dialogue, 96 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: you see that there is tension in the locker room. 97 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: There's tension on that team, on both teams. I think 98 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: a change of scenery would be great. But again, you 99 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: got two superstar guys that if you do trade those guys, 100 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: you got to get a lot back. You got to 101 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: be able to to protect your future while while still 102 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: being competitive right now. So I think a lot goes 103 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: on in those two trades. I think they should happen. 104 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if they will, but I do know 105 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: I do feel if they If one guy does get traded, 106 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: it'll be a domino effect to either Jannis. Anthony Davis 107 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 1: is another one that's hurt. It's been kind of under 108 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: trading block so you know, it goes down the list. 109 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: I'll be excited to see what happens with those guys, 110 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: but I do I truly believe it's time for those 111 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: guys to find a different team. 112 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw one one rumor and this wasn't gonna 113 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 3: happen at the trade deadliner before. But they're talking about 114 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 3: the Warriors pursuing Jannis and Lebron this summer. Now. That 115 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 3: also conveniently, that rumor came out when all the Genie 116 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 3: Bus tension between Genie Buss and Lebron and his camp. Like, 117 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 3: to me, it's like, if that's gonna happen, Yes, that 118 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 3: this is the year, because I don't think the Lakers 119 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 3: we've talked about in the past, you know, I don't 120 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 3: know if I think the Lakers are sort of abandoning, 121 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 3: you know, the Lebron ship, and I feel like, you know, Steph, 122 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 3: with those young guys, they are not getting it done. Like, 123 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 3: to me, this could potentially happen. What do you think 124 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 3: about that rumor, which I think sounded crazy until now, 125 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 3: it seems like that's a pretty good option for. 126 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 1: All of them. I mean, that's definitely an option like 127 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: Gianni's to the Warriors. I don't think the Lebron thing. Possibly, 128 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: I don't think he gets traded. I don't think he 129 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: goes to the Warriors. It's his last couple of years 130 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: living in la is probably amazing. Sure, But the Yannest thing, 131 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: that's would Jimmy hurt Jimmy out? You know, that's that's 132 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: a good one. Especially it's a change of scenery for 133 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: both sides. Like you said, they got Jimmy Butler, so 134 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: they could trade him off as well, and then Yanna's 135 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: being in the Western Conference on the on the Warriors, 136 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: that would be crazy and that would put them straight 137 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: in championship contention if something like that were to happen, 138 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: I think Milwaukee, if they do make a trade, I 139 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: don't think they would be smart to keep them in 140 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference. No, Like I don't think that would 141 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: be smart. Even with John Morant with the with the Grizzlies, 142 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: I don't think that would be smart to keep him 143 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: in the Western Conference. Right, you got so many things 144 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: you got to weigh in on, and you know, I'm 145 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: glad I'm not in those positions to make those decisions 146 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: right now. But I think, like I said, the change 147 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: of scenery for both guys, and we got it. We 148 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: can't forget Anthony Davis as well. Obviously he's hurt, but 149 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: he's another guy with the Dallas situation that he got. 150 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: He needs to get up out of there and find 151 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: a new team as well, and then Dallas figure out 152 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: how they can build around Cooper flag and move forward. Yep. 153 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 3: I think it's it's gonna be interesting. I think I 154 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 3: even saw with the eighties stuff at eighty Might even 155 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 3: said that him and Rich don't don't see or don't 156 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 3: necessarily agree with the fact that the Dallas has to 157 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 3: move on from him, and I think I thought that 158 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 3: was that was kind of nice to see. I know, 159 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 3: you know, Rich is obviously an incredible agent and done 160 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 3: a lot, know with Clutch, but it was it was 161 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,239 Speaker 3: cool to see a player go, hey, let me figure 162 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 3: it out here. You know, I'm hurt. People keep telling 163 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 3: you know me, I should go somewhere else, but like, 164 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 3: it was cool to see ad you don't want to 165 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 3: give Dallas another shot? 166 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think not to cut you off, 167 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: but I think, you know, guys don't want to get 168 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: traded at the end of the day, Like whether the 169 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: situation is a tough one or not, especially as you 170 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: get older in the league. You got a family. You're 171 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: not trying to go team from teams. So if Anthony 172 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: Davis can stay, yeah, he probably wants to. But if 173 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: it's better for both sides to figure out the situation 174 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: where they trade him and get something back, I think 175 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: he's fine with going somewhere where he can kind of decide, 176 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: especially those guys that are that age been in the 177 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: league for a while, If you can decide on a 178 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: destination you can go to, it makes it a little 179 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: easier than just getting traded out the blue and having 180 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: to pick up you know, take take care of your family, 181 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: find how all those things that you know the regular 182 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: fan doesn't understand. I think those coming to consideration. 183 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 3: You've been traded sort of unexpectedly. 184 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: Hello time, Hello times. 185 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 3: But so I mean just on a personal level, like 186 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 3: you said, like people forget that you guys got families, 187 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 3: you got your houses, you got proper you get like 188 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 3: it's tough to move. Some of these fans expect you 189 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 3: to be playing for that other team within the next day. 190 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 3: So like what sort of walk us through that? Just 191 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 3: from from I guess a pro. 192 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: Players Lens it's tough. It's the toughest one if you 193 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: don't have a family and you just out there by 194 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: your sell with with your homies. Obviously that's still tough 195 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: moving destinations. But it's a little easier when you got 196 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 1: a family, you got kids in school, you got all 197 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: those things going on. When you do get traded, especially 198 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 1: even if it's out the blue, you got forty eight 199 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: hours to report to your team, whether they're where they're 200 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: from or they're they're on the road playing, you got 201 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,839 Speaker 1: forty eight hours. So that's the hardest thing, being able 202 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 1: to get your stuff ready, pack some bags or whatever. 203 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: Especially with my with my situation, my wife was the MVP. 204 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: Like I would pack a couple bags. Like say I 205 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: got traded from Phoenix to Boston. I packed three or 206 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: four bags, got my shoes ready, you know, I got 207 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: to get my kicks in line. But I got all 208 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: my stuff ready, most of my things that I can 209 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 1: just live out of a suitcase for maybe two or 210 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: three weeks until you know, my wife and my family 211 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: get situated to wherever we are. But a few times 212 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: I got traded, my wife and kids went back home, 213 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: you know, and we figured it out. While I was 214 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: getting on the roll while I was getting accustomed to 215 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: being with my new team. So it's not like the 216 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: video game where you just get traded and you're on 217 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: the team and nothing happens. You got so many things 218 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: you gotta figure out. You got to figure out where 219 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: you're going to live at the next city. You get 220 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: to be in the hotel for I think forty five days, 221 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: so you got forty five days to figure things out. 222 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: But that's hard to live in a hotel for that long. 223 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: And then on top of that, figure out how to 224 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: learn new plays on a new team, figure out how 225 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: to play with new players, learning a new coaching system. 226 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: So it's so many things that you got to take 227 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: in consideration that you know, the normal fan doesn't really understand. 228 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: So there's so many things outside of the basketball court 229 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: that that goes on. To make that trade happen, you 230 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: got to go get a physical. It's so many things 231 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: down the line that it's a lot. But those teams, 232 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: especially really good teams, those organizations help you simplify things. 233 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: They got guys, they got people in the organization. They 234 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: help you find homes, they help your make sure your 235 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: family's good. So you got a lot going on, and 236 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: then you got to focus on figuring out how to 237 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: play a game. It's a lot, it's a lot. It's 238 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: definitely a lot. That's why guys. Guys don't like to 239 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: get traded at all unless it's a situation where it's 240 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: just not good for you on the floor and you 241 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: need to get out of there. But it's tough being 242 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: in those situations. But you know, the regular fan is like, man, 243 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: you get paid a lot of money, you can move on. 244 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: You could be ready, But it's not that simple. So 245 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 1: there's a lot that goes into it. You know, shout 246 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: out to those guys that do get traded mid season 247 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: and the piggyback on that. Like, getting traded out of 248 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: season is a way easier situation than getting traded in February. 249 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: You're just used to everything for that team you're on, 250 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: and then you got to get up and go to 251 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: the next destination. So it's definitely a difficult situation. 252 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 3: That's cool. Thank you for sharing that. I mean, I 253 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 3: feel like, honestly, by coincidence, your guy TJ. He made 254 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 3: this series called State in Nate that I used to 255 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 3: love to day about Nate Robinson. I remember just watching 256 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 3: he was living in an apartment in Chicago, and I 257 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 3: was like, oh yeah, like cause he was you know, 258 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 3: he sort of he knew he was gonna be a journeyman, 259 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 3: and it's like I'm not going to stay here. Who 260 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:49,839 Speaker 3: knows how long I'm gonna stay here. So he's like 261 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 3: an apartment, but he had this one room just all 262 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 3: his his Jordan's and you know it was just like 263 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 3: it was so fun to see that. And then also too, 264 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 3: like with social media, now there's this guy. We went 265 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 3: to the Noblesville Boom game the other week and were 266 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 3: actually went to it because we were trying to see 267 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,839 Speaker 3: this one like Indianapolis legend and went to my wife's school. 268 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 3: Kyle guy. Yeah, yeah, Virginia hit that game winner, but 269 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 3: he had he came back home to Indiana to play 270 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 3: for G League showing out. You know, he had retired 271 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 3: before this, yeah remember right, and so like he unretired, 272 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 3: went to Noblesville where we were like we got to 273 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 3: see him while he's playing for the G League team, 274 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 3: and right the night before the game we were going 275 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 3: to he his wife on TikTok posted we took we 276 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 3: had to take an offer for UH to play over 277 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 3: in China that we could not refuse. And so she 278 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 3: like made this little volog about packing up like four 279 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 3: suitcases for him, her two of their kids and getting 280 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 3: on a planetto China that weekend. And it's like, this 281 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 3: is wild, but this is this is the dream. 282 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: You know, it's the dream, and nobody knows. Nobody takes 283 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: everything off the court into consideration, Like it's a lot, 284 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 1: especially for for men's spouses, your kids. Like for thirteen 285 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 1: years of my career, I was on the go for 286 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: you know, a few years to where like every stop, 287 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 1: especially towards the end, was like one year deals. You 288 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: never know if you're gonna get traded, are you gonna 289 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 1: bring your family? So those all come into play when 290 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: you're making these decisions for the betterment of your career 291 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: or for your family. So especially as you get older, 292 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: you start to do what's best for your family, not 293 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: just for yourself. And you know, for me, it's a 294 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: big shout out to my wife for always holding it 295 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: down when those situations came up, because it is a lot, 296 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: and not only to get traded in season or out 297 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: of season in the NBA, to sign somewhere and go overseas, yeah, 298 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: and not know what's going to happen, not be comfortable 299 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: in that city and those type of things. So it's 300 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: it's a lot that comes with it. Guys are super 301 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: blessed to be able to play this game professionally, but 302 00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: it's not easy at all. 303 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, to everyone who just keeps chasing their dreams and 304 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 3: the support systems around them, that's that's huge. I feel 305 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 3: like that goes unrecognized. When we come back here on 306 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 3: point game, We're going to talk about d Rose's retirement weekend. 307 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 3: It was an exciting weekend for d Rose fans because 308 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 3: the Bulls I think, put out all the stops with 309 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 3: his jersey retirement night and then just like bringing all 310 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 3: the guys together, you know, his former supporting cast, and 311 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 3: you know, just as a fan, just getting to relive 312 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 3: some of those highlights because I was in Chicago at 313 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 3: the time.

I obviously played 350 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: against him in the league. I remember my first time 351 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: playing against him. It was my rookie year, so twenty eleven. 352 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: I think it was the year after he had his 353 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: MVP year. Paul Westfall sut me in with like forty 354 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: seconds left in the first half to in the half, 355 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: and he's like, you know, Paul Westwall rest in pace. 356 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: He always would be like remember my Kobe stories like 357 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: that Kobe so the d Rose He's like, man, we 358 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: need to stop, we need to stop. So we're gonna 359 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: put you in. I'm like, here we roll again. And 360 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: then at this point, I don't like, I'm already thinking 361 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 1: back in high school, how fast he was. Back in college. 362 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: I'm already thinking of the MVPD rolls. I'm like, so 363 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: when I get subbed in, I'm thinking, man, man, just 364 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: don't get blown by, like I'm giving him so much space. 365 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: And he really blew straight by me like I wasn't there. Luckily, 366 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: he turned the ball over. We got like a three 367 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 1: on two. I think we got a lay up. The 368 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: half was over, so I did my job. I'm not 369 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: saying I turned. I made him turn the ball over. 370 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: Maybe he was going too fast for himself. Turned the 371 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: ball over. We got a lay up. I was like this, 372 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 1: but that was one of the first times in my life, 373 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: not like obviously the Kobe story. I was a little 374 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 1: scared too, because I was my favorite player, but just 375 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: the MVPD rolls me having to sit down and have 376 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: four having no help looking behind me, like is my 377 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: guys in position to help? And I felt like right 378 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: when I look behind me, he just he just went. 379 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 1: He blew straight past me. So that was my first 380 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 1: interaction with him in the NBA, and and that was 381 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: just crazy. Luckily we got I think we got a 382 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: lay up out of it. Not not to not to 383 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: lie about it or anything. I believe we gotta. I 384 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 1: believe we got to lay up out of that and 385 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 1: we ended the half. So we're gonna have to try 386 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: to find that. 387 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 3: Find that. 388 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: But you know, fast forward, just competing against one of 389 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: the best young players that ever played a game. It 390 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: was always an honor going to the United Center, just 391 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: seeing d Rose, him being from Chicago and always having 392 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 1: that that or about him since high school. You just, man, 393 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: you just it was just unbelievable. And then like fast forward, 394 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: I get traded to Cleveland. He signs with Cleveland. We 395 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: happen to be you know, we happen to be sitting 396 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: on the plane next to each other the whole season 397 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: until we got traded. So you know, De Rose don't 398 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 1: really speak to a lot of people. He don't really 399 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: conversate like that. So I was one of the guys 400 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: he was always chopping up with. We was in the 401 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 1: front of the plane sitting next to each other, and 402 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: it was so dope for me to be able to 403 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: just chop it up with him, not even about basketball, 404 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: just but about life in general. If you don't know 405 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: De Rose, you know he's a candy guy. I can't 406 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: say if he's still a candy guy. He always had 407 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: a bag of candy. And the funny thing about that 408 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: every road trip he would just hand me a candy 409 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: that I never seen before, Like I never whether it 410 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: be some gummies, some hard candy. It was like to 411 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: a point where I'm like, where are you getting these? 412 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 1: Like I'm a candy guy too, but I've never seen 413 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: these flavors. I've never seen these bags. And it sucks 414 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: because I can't even tell you that like the brand 415 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: of candy. It was just every time he like we 416 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: sit right next to each other, He'll be like, here 417 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: you go. I t I'm like some candy that I'd 418 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: never seen. So it was just it was super dope 419 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: because and I remember one time he gave me some candy. 420 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: He's like, you can always go to a local CBS. 421 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: They'll be in the back of the store. I remember 422 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 1: going to we played the we played the Washington Wizards 423 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: one time, and we're I think he's available, but I'm 424 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: still hurt at the time. Yeah, and we go. We 425 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: we me and him, We go to CVS across the street. 426 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 1: This is me and d Rose. We go to CVS 427 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: and he points out the candy like this is where 428 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: I go to get some of my my little stash 429 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: of candy. 430 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 3: So he's got. 431 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: He got the spots, he got this, he got the 432 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: bag of candy, he got the backpack. Fool of just 433 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: pulling out different candies at all times. So you know, 434 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: that's one of the funny stories I got about d Rose. 435 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 3: Can we just debunk Like the people are like, man, 436 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 3: he's towards a cl because he's eating candy. It's like 437 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 3: he's not candy. Sometimes I think d Rose was faster 438 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 3: than he thought. He knew he was like his body. 439 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: He definitely was his body. He couldn't. There's no way 440 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: he knew how fast he was and how explosive he 441 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: was and to be under control with doing that. Like 442 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: at the same time, it's like if if he didn't 443 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: get hurt, obviously he had an amazing career, Hall of 444 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 1: Fame career, regardless if he didn't get hurt, he's the 445 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: best one guard they ever played a game. 446 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 3: It's the same thing to me, I think one of 447 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 3: the most unique and like that period of time when 448 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 3: he was healthy, like we were watching something special, like 449 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 3: if people forge, if people younger fans are watching this, 450 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 3: like people forget the when Lebron and Bosh went tell 451 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 3: you the heat, people are like game over. It's over, 452 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 3: but the Bulls were number one in the East that season. 453 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 3: MVP d Row's youngest MVP ever, jumping out the gym 454 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 3: like like you said, just his crossover. His first step 455 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 3: was crazy to where he was almost falling over at 456 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 3: certain points and he would like place a hand on 457 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 3: the ground and like hold his balance. 458 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 1: It was that's when he dropped Andre Miller. I remember, Yeah, 459 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: that was a Philly he dropped Andre Miller. There was 460 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: the one he dropped Tyreek Evans, one of my teammates. 461 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: Like he was those one of those guys that he 462 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: was kind of like Barry Sanders in football, like Jo Jackson. Yeah, 463 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: Bo Jackson just so strong and powerful but under control 464 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: with what he's doing. So man in twenty ten, the 465 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, that decade of basketball with the guards, with 466 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 1: with the wings, even a go before twenty ten, like 467 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: I think it was two thousand and nine when or 468 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight when he played against the Boston 469 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: Celtics game seven seven. Yeah, he talks about it in 470 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: some little podcasts. He'd be on it without those guys 471 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: tried to kill him as a rookie and he didn't 472 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: back down, and that's when he gained his respect from 473 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: the Big three in Boston.

You're not really seeing who anywhere 485 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: like that, I asked d Rose. I'm like, man, it 486 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 1: would be dope if you could just slide out to Tacoma, Washington. 487 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: Obviously you ain't got to play, but if the city 488 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: can see you in my city, that would change everything, 489 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,159 Speaker 1: because nobody in my city has seen d Rose up 490 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: close and personal. He like, no brainer, this is months before, right, 491 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: this is the Cleveland year, so this is way before. 492 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: I always have my tournament the first week in August. 493 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,199 Speaker 1: So I asked him throughout the season. He like, bro, 494 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: I got you. Stop asking me. I'm just like, man, 495 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to make sure you feel me because 496 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: I know how athletes are. They gonna say yeah, and 497 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: they got a crazy schedule to where things come up 498 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: all the time. So then it gets closer and closer. 499 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 1: I'm talking to Pool, I'm talking to his people. They're like, yeah, man, 500 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna slide. It's good. Like, don't worry about it. 501 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 1: We're gonna pay for it. Don't worry about it. Because 502 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: when I bring NBA guys in, I always pay for 503 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: a flight, hotel just to make sure they're comfortable and 504 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: a man. I'm not hearing nothing from d Rose a 505 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 1: couple of days before, right, so I'm like, I'm telling 506 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: people Pool is coming. He's gonna be here. Man. We 507 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 1: have the first day, everybody's asking, man, where's de Rose. 508 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: I'm like, shoot, I don't really know, Like hopefully he 509 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: shows up. Man. Midway through the first day of the tournament, 510 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 1: everybody's tripping you. Hear like a melee going on at 511 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: the entrance. I'm like, and then people coming to me. 512 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: He's like, man, de Roses, I'm like, you're lying. D 513 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 1: Rose his wife, his kids, come, his homie art. They 514 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: come in the gym and the gym just goes crazy. 515 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: Bro d Rose is just he come, sits on the 516 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: bench with his family all the games. Throughout the day, 517 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: He's just there. We go to the back where you know, 518 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: the players chill throughout the middle of the games. He's like, Nah, 519 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 1: I want to be you know, I want to be 520 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: with the people. So it was like one of the 521 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: most dopest moments, coolest moments for not just myself, but 522 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: everybody that's from Tacoma, Seattle, Washington be able to see 523 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: Dereck Rose, him taking pictures, dabbing people up. It was 524 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: like the definition of who d or Ros is. That's 525 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: why everybody loves him because he's just so down to 526 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: earth and he's one of the biggest superstars to touch 527 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: the game of basketball. And usually when you're one of 528 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: those superstars, you got like a little arrogance to you 529 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: got a little where you're not really always trying to 530 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 1: be that cool of a guy. But I've never had 531 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: that interaction with d Rose ever since two thousand and 532 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 1: six when he came to ABCD camp. He's a Nike kid. 533 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: I think he was a Nike kid back then. He 534 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: came to a Rebod camp because you know why, he 535 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: was trying to go against OJ Mayo, who was the 536 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: other best high school player in the world. It was 537 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 1: Oj Mayo Dereck Rose, and he wasn't ducking no smoke. 538 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: And that was like before the time of guys switching 539 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 1: there shoe affiliate. So if you were the Didas guy, 540 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 1: you was a Rebot guy, you were going to those camps. 541 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: You wasn't going to the other camp. He really came 542 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 1: to the Rebot camp. Jay z was there, Jason Kidd 543 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: was there, like this is prime time AAU basketball. It sucks. 544 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: He ended up, I think, rolling his ankles. So we 545 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: didn't even get to see the Oj Mayo and the 546 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: Dereck Rose at that camp. But just him being there, 547 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: it's set the summer crazy. It's set the summer crazy. 548 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: So shout out to d Rose, Shout out the ABCD camp, 549 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 1: Shout out to our playing Rise chopping it up together, 550 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 1: him giving me the exclusive candy.

This one please is 567 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 1: good because this was a tough time during the Cleveland stretch. 568 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: I was getting back. The team wasn't playing too well. 569 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: You know when you're on the Lebron team, like if 570 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 1: you ain't playing too well, trade rumors started to microscope. 571 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: Everybody knows that trade deadline. Half the team got traded, 572 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 1: d Way, me, Jay Crowder, d Rose, half the team. 573 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: We was in Cleveland. This was close to the deadline. 574 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: I was struggling just because I was I was on 575 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: one leg. I wasn't really myself. D Rose was coming 576 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: in and out of the lineup. He was hurt as well. 577 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: I remember he was playing I think the Houston Rockets, 578 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: and it was a point in time where the crowd 579 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: was booing, just the team in Ji. I remember I 580 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: did a move to the hall. It was a clean 581 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: move too. I didn't even think it was a travel. 582 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: I got hit to the ground they called travel. It 583 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: was one of them things where I feel like the 584 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: crowd was boring, not just me, but just us in general. 585 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 1: And d Rose was at the substitution table, the scores table, 586 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: and I hit the ground. The horn went off. D 587 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: Rose was subbing for me, and it was like a 588 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: couple possessions where it just wasn't a good possession, maybe 589 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: for me. I remember him running from the scores table 590 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: all the way to the baseline. That helped me up, 591 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: Like nobody helped me up. And it wasn't like nothing 592 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: against my teammates. They might have been down at the 593 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: other side of the floor, whatever the case may be. 594 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: If we find that clip, he really jogged ran over there, 595 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: helped me up, And that was like a big moment 596 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: in that situation because it was a tough, tough situation 597 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: for all of us, not just physically but mentally, and 598 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: that says a lot about the guy. He is the 599 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 1: person he is, and he knew what I was going through. 600 00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: And then if you watch Book of Isaiah of what 601 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: we do, well, obviously we documented all that things. I 602 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: got a phone call right after I get traded. It's 603 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: d Rose and it's on the Book of Isaiah, and 604 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: he's like, man, don't fight it, bro, just find your joy, 605 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: find your piece in this game.

Obviously you had 662 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 3: an iconic moment with the dude with the Frosty, which 663 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 3: I wanted to hear a little bit more about. But 664 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 3: what is up with these fans? What do you think 665 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 3: is the motivation why a fan can think, you know, 666 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 3: I pay for courtside seats, I can just talk to 667 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 3: players like this. 668 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: Okay, Look, fans just want the interaction back. That's what 669 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: I came to as I got older. They really because 670 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: when you really speak to them, and how KD was 671 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: chopping it up with him and just giving them real game, 672 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: how you should just be a fan and just stay 673 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: in your place, you humble them real quick because they're 674 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: not thinking you're going to talk back. I love what 675 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: KDE's doing because he's having real conversation like and make you, 676 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 1: as a grown up, make you really slow your mind 677 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: down and think like, am I really tripping? I'm really 678 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 1: pay for these seats to really talk crazy shit to 679 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: whether a guy you don't like or one of your 680 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: favorite players on your team that's not having a good game. 681 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: Or whatever the case may be. It's always good to 682 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: be able to have that interaction with fans, like cause 683 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,879 Speaker 1: it just slows them down because nine times out of ten, 684 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: especially all the interactions I had, I'm making a fan 685 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,720 Speaker 1: feel stupid, just like KD, Like, why are you even 686 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 1: do you just you just want me to say something 687 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 1: to you? And if that's If that's the case, it's 688 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: all good. What's good, bro, I acknowledge you and we're 689 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: gonna move forward from there. But I don't go to 690 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,919 Speaker 1: your job and be in your office critiquing what you're 691 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,399 Speaker 1: doing when I know nothing about what you're doing. When 692 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: it really comes down to it, So what Katie's doing, 693 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: that's how he's breaking it down, Like how are you 694 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 1: critiquing not only me but my teammates when you're paying 695 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 1: to come see us and we do this at the 696 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: highest of highest of high levels. So like, I like 697 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: that interaction. And then sometimes there's cuss words, sometimes there's 698 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 1: back and forth. Sometimes players get get fans kicked out. 699 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: In my instance the Frosty incident, that was another one 700 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,839 Speaker 1: that was beyond disrespect though it was like, I'm really 701 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 1: gonna go talk to this dude. I'm not about to 702 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 1: cause of melee. I'm about to really go chop it 703 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 1: up with him to see where he's coming from, because 704 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,879 Speaker 1: he's not gonna look me in my eyes and call 705 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,320 Speaker 1: me out of my name and disrespect me. This is 706 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 1: beyond the game of basketball. I thought I was doing 707 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 1: it in a you know, a calm manner. Obviously I 708 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 1: got ejected, I got suspended, I got fined all of that. 709 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,879 Speaker 1: So it was like, but there's a time and place 710 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: for you to interact with a fan. I did that 711 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 1: in the playoffs as well. Down the line in Boston 712 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: we was playing the Wizards, there was a fan behind 713 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,799 Speaker 1: the bench. Obviously we wasn't playing well. I'm I'm gonna 714 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 1: let you here just like you're letting me. Hear it, 715 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna make you feel stupid as hell, and 716 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,319 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get some laughs out of it, especially if 717 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get fine. So I like the interaction with 718 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: the fans. I think fans obviously there's alcohol at the 719 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 1: games as well, so there's alcohol consumption and fans get 720 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: out of line. As long as you don't get out 721 00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,320 Speaker 1: of the line and we can really talk hoop stuff. 722 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,240 Speaker 1: I'm all for the back and forth. If you're disrespecting 723 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 1: not only myself, my teammates are the game of basketball. 724 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: And I hear it. I think that's where Kadi's coming 725 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 1: from in terms of, Yeah, we're gonna have a we're 726 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna chop it up, and I'm gonna just 727 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 1: make you feel stupid. Like he said in Detroit, you 728 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: feel really dumb right now because like what you're saying 729 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 1: makes no sense, and who you're saying it too, makes 730 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 1: no sense. So, like I said, I'm all for it. 731 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 1: There's some good ones, there's some bad ones. But like 732 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 1: the fans make the game of basketball, the fans are 733 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: the game of basketball, but they gotta be checked sometimes. 734 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: For sure. 735 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 3: With the Frosty one, that guy was just trying to 736 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,520 Speaker 3: come up with a dumb excuse, trying to backpedal from being. 737 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 1: Now He's backpedal quick. He backpedal quick, and it was 738 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,399 Speaker 1: like he was a little intoxicated as well. So when 739 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 1: I went up there, I'm like, fam, that's not what 740 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna do today, like obviously, and I was super calm. 741 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 1: If you look at the thing, I'm like, I'm like, 742 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,799 Speaker 1: I'm a grown man. First, bro, you're not gonna look 743 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,879 Speaker 1: me in my eyes and do it two or three 744 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,319 Speaker 1: times though he had the middle fingers up and he's 745 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 1: saying the crazy stuff. So I was just going over there. 746 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,840 Speaker 1: And then when he said this what got me Bro? 747 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,440 Speaker 1: When he said, Bro, I just wanted a frosty, I'm like, 748 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 1: there's no way you made me come up here and 749 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 1: you said all those things and you just wanted a 750 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: frost it. Bro, And if you watch my little thing, 751 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 1: I'm so calm going there. I'm calm after the game too, 752 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: because it was a serious manner at that point. I'm like, Bro, 753 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 1: I got ejected. You took me away from playing the 754 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,400 Speaker 1: rest of the fourth quarter, which I wanted to do. 755 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 1: I got ejected, and all that came after is So 756 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: it's definitely a funny thing. My kids make fun of 757 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 1: me for that every now and then, but it was 758 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,680 Speaker 1: something that I had to do. Like I was like, no, 759 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:47,839 Speaker 1: he ain't gonna do that to me. Where we're from, 760 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 1: we don't use that language at all. We don't use 761 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: the little B word, we don't do none of that, 762 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 1: especially when it comes to basketball. So I just had 763 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,359 Speaker 1: to go see where he was coming from. 764 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,520 Speaker 3: Bro, Wendy's didn't call and say when they should have 765 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,279 Speaker 3: called all the Frosty's have. 766 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,359 Speaker 1: Been it for good pub Me and the dudes should 767 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 1: have been in a commercial doing the Frosty's. 768 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,919 Speaker 3: All right, Moving on Luca, who's also been known people 769 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 3: heckle him. He heckles back Luca when they went back 770 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,400 Speaker 3: to Dallas to play them, and he did some cool stuff. 771 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 3: He actually one of the things he did was he 772 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 3: he had a suite, bought out a suite at the 773 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,719 Speaker 3: MAVs Arena for all the fans who sort of just 774 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 3: like spoken up saying we stand with Luca, We're still 775 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 3: a fan of his and treated him, got him all 776 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,759 Speaker 3: pair of the Lucas signature shoes. How dope was that? 777 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: Like? 778 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,359 Speaker 3: What were your thoughts on, you know, him returning back 779 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,479 Speaker 3: to Dallas and still showing love to that fan base. 780 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,320 Speaker 3: I mean, I guess it's an easy thing to do, 781 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,720 Speaker 3: but what do you what did you think about watching 782 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:46,719 Speaker 3: Luca go back to the Dallas and handle that. 783 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,719 Speaker 1: I know he's four and oh against Dallas I think 784 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,360 Speaker 1: I've seen since he got traded, But that says the 785 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 1: type of person he is, because it means more than 786 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,239 Speaker 1: just the game of basketball. Being able to go back 787 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 1: to Dallas. Whatever situation where you found them fans and 788 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:01,480 Speaker 1: your big supporters and be able to put them in 789 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,960 Speaker 1: a suite and enjoy that and watch you kill the 790 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,360 Speaker 1: team that traded you. It's like it's only right. So 791 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,880 Speaker 1: like that's what. That's the dope thing about situations that 792 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 1: maybe people don't hear about or see. You only kind 793 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,640 Speaker 1: of see the negative interaction with fans, Like the fans 794 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,839 Speaker 1: are everything to the game of basketball. The fans are 795 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 1: everything to an individual. So whenever a superstar type player 796 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 1: gives back to the fans, especially the fans that support him, man, 797 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 1: that says a lot about that guy. So shout out 798 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,279 Speaker 1: to Luca for doing that. I know it was like 799 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: super cool to be able to go back to Dallas, 800 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,960 Speaker 1: not only play really well, but get the win and 801 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 1: do that for the select group of fans that we're 802 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,399 Speaker 1: in Dallas. Man's that's everything. So shout out to them. 803 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I feel like we know Dallas is forever 804 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,320 Speaker 3: going to be his home because at halftime he actually 805 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:54,240 Speaker 3: started walking towards the home locker room and then turned around. 806 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,319 Speaker 3: Have you ever like how easy is it to get 807 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 3: confused when you've played for a couple of different teams 808 00:39:59,440 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 3: at halftime. 809 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 1: Man, it's crazy because like when I was in Sacramento, 810 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,279 Speaker 1: I was my first three years in Sacramento, I know 811 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 1: nothing else other than the Kings. When I got when 812 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,759 Speaker 1: I signed with Phoenix, my first time going back to Sacramento, 813 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,799 Speaker 1: I'd never been on the side of the Way locker room. 814 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,239 Speaker 1: I didn't even know where to go. And first off, 815 00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,239 Speaker 1: I didn't even know how bad the Way locker room was, 816 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:23,280 Speaker 1: with the whole the old, the Old Arena, Arco Arena, 817 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 1: that that was if you ask anybody in the NBA, 818 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,920 Speaker 1: that was the worst away locker room. I feel like 819 00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 1: when I walked in, the door was so small, I 820 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 1: had to duck, Like that's how crazy that, that's how 821 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,800 Speaker 1: small the locker room was. And I'm obviously the smallest 822 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,839 Speaker 1: guy in the NBA. So you do get confused when 823 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 1: you're used to something for so long and it's so routine, 824 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,719 Speaker 1: because athletes, especially basketball players, are so routine. So when 825 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,759 Speaker 1: I seen that, it was definitely a laugh. It was 826 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 1: definitely like, oh yeah, he thought he was on the 827 00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:55,479 Speaker 1: maverage for sure. 828 00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:58,799 Speaker 3: I got it. Is that like a strategy to make 829 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 3: the Way locker room as Nah? 830 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,439 Speaker 1: No, you just got what usually happens, like the locker 831 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,800 Speaker 1: room's usually good. That was just an older arena like 832 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:11,440 Speaker 1: the King's locker room now is amazing. The Way locker room. 833 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,840 Speaker 1: What I will say is, especially in Boston at times 834 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,399 Speaker 1: and a few other places, there won't be no hot 835 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,839 Speaker 1: water in that a Way locker room. And you don't 836 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 1: know who's doing that. I don't know who's behind that. 837 00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 1: But the especially after a loss, uh, in that a 838 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 1: Way locker room, or especially if the Way team wins them, 839 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,000 Speaker 1: locker room showers be cold. There don't be no heat 840 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:40,759 Speaker 1: in them. So whoever's doing that, man, you better be 841 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,399 Speaker 1: You better not your name, better not go out there 842 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:47,120 Speaker 1: because guys are gonna be upset about that for sure. Uh. 843 00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 3: And lastly, in this section, it was announced that Zion 844 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,280 Speaker 3: I don't know if it was officially announced, but Zion's 845 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,480 Speaker 3: signature line is coming to an end, which is and 846 00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:00,239 Speaker 3: actually also just to tie into Jalen Brunson recently came 847 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 3: out and said that he doesn't want his signature shoes. 848 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:04,719 Speaker 3: He would be happy rocking Kobe's for the rest of 849 00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:06,239 Speaker 3: his career, which I know. 850 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,960 Speaker 1: But I know you guy, I'm only wearing Kobe's so 851 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 1: to have your signature. 852 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:17,360 Speaker 3: You we've talked about how so many signatures. 853 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter CJ hell no, Hey, okay, so what. 854 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,360 Speaker 3: Are your thoughts on this so Zion's shoe line. I 855 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 3: think it got up to four right, it didn't necessarily 856 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,799 Speaker 3: pick up to popularity. And I don't think that's because Zion, 857 00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 3: Like there's just so many shoes to pick. 858 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:35,319 Speaker 1: It, you know what it is. I think it's first 859 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 1: off is Zion. I don't think nobody really getting a 860 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 1: Zion shoe like that, And no disrespect to Zion, like 861 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 1: he's a superstar, he is who he is. And then 862 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:49,760 Speaker 1: it's no no, no hit to Jordan either. That's brand Jordan. 863 00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:54,840 Speaker 1: Nobody's really getting the brand Jordan athlete shoes, not like that. 864 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,520 Speaker 1: Like if you're a big Luca fan, you gonna ride 865 00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 1: with the Lucas. Obviously back in the day, Chris Paul, 866 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,680 Speaker 1: you might see somebody in some Chris Paul's. Yeah. I 867 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:05,320 Speaker 1: don't think you're going to go to the store and 868 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,600 Speaker 1: get some Zions like that like that, And like I said, 869 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:13,839 Speaker 1: there's no disrespect more so a Nike athlete. If you're 870 00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,840 Speaker 1: a Nike athlete and you got your own shoe and 871 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,759 Speaker 1: you like that guy, you're getting it brunting and you're 872 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 1: tripping right now, you're tripping. I get it. I get it, though, 873 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,319 Speaker 1: I get as we talked about it before, there's too 874 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:30,080 Speaker 1: many signatures. It's not as exclusive as exclusive as it 875 00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,759 Speaker 1: used to be. But if you could get your own shoe, 876 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,000 Speaker 1: that's once in a lifetime. Bro. You gotta go do that, 877 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,480 Speaker 1: at least for one or two years. Then if it 878 00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:39,799 Speaker 1: don't sell, I tried it. I was one of them 879 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,759 Speaker 1: guys that got my own shoe. Like, that's what I'm saying, Like, 880 00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:46,920 Speaker 1: that's just that's just adding to the resume. Like everybody 881 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,480 Speaker 1: doesn't be able to do that. But I do feel 882 00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,360 Speaker 1: you on that, like I don't want to have a 883 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,440 Speaker 1: bunk shoe and nobody's wearing it, but you're still one 884 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,840 Speaker 1: of them guys that handful of guys in the history 885 00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,799 Speaker 1: of the game to have their own shoe. Like there's 886 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,120 Speaker 1: probably if we think about it, what is there maybe thirty. 887 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,320 Speaker 3: Fifty I think maybe. I mean, man, we got like 888 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:11,040 Speaker 3: Brandon Podmitsky on the Warriors got to shoot with China brand. 889 00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:13,440 Speaker 3: But that's what happened, you know what I mean. 890 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,400 Speaker 1: It's been diluted, no disrespect because he's good and he's 891 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,920 Speaker 1: good for sure, We're not counting those. 892 00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,879 Speaker 3: Langston Galloway had his I think he started his own brand. 893 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,600 Speaker 1: He did. That's good Jalen Brown. 894 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,319 Speaker 3: But it is what I will say because I think 895 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,040 Speaker 3: we can spend a whole episode on this. It's interesting 896 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,160 Speaker 3: and I don't know if sneaker brands account for this, 897 00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 3: is that kids want to buy shoes of a player 898 00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:44,200 Speaker 3: they really resonate with, like, oh I can you know, 899 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,439 Speaker 3: get a handle, Oh I can be quick and fast, 900 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,280 Speaker 3: get a crazy jumper. I don't think kids could envision 901 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,920 Speaker 3: themselves being like Zion with the power dunks that back 902 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,520 Speaker 3: downs all like it's you know, it's like how the 903 00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,719 Speaker 3: big Man never could sell sneaker, you know, like Sketchers 904 00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,680 Speaker 3: got embiid. I'm just like, I don't think people you 905 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:02,960 Speaker 3: can't get out there pretending to be. 906 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,040 Speaker 1: And beat you know what I mean? And even like 907 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:09,120 Speaker 1: Steph Curry, you gotta be the top dog to be 908 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:13,320 Speaker 1: able to sell shoes and not be Nike or not 909 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,960 Speaker 1: be like a major little brand. So it's tough. It's 910 00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:20,680 Speaker 1: a tough business, it's a tough space to be in. 911 00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,160 Speaker 1: But if they ask, especially if it's Nike and they 912 00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:25,880 Speaker 1: ask him for your own shoes, like, you're gonna have 913 00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:27,680 Speaker 1: to take that to the chin and do that. You 914 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,480 Speaker 1: can still wear Kobe's. You can still get your Kobe's 915 00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:34,279 Speaker 1: and then when your contract's over you can you can 916 00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,200 Speaker 1: go back to the Kobe's. But since they are letting 917 00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,200 Speaker 1: go Zion or whatever the case may be, if they 918 00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,080 Speaker 1: are looking for another brand Jordan athlete, you gotta go 919 00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:47,520 Speaker 1: get my guy Pollo give I know, and he's a 920 00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,719 Speaker 1: big guy, so that's gonna be tough as well. All 921 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:53,120 Speaker 1: those type of guys, it's hard to sell shoes. But 922 00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,640 Speaker 1: if you're looking for another one that's a youngster, that's 923 00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,440 Speaker 1: a young star itself in the family as well. So 924 00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:01,360 Speaker 1: shout out to p five man. I think his pops 925 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,080 Speaker 1: are clean. I've seen his ps are clean.
