1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Thank you for coming back. Part two is underway. I mean,

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: you and Ben got into a little little situation, me

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: and batter, Me and Joelle, you know, you, you and

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: you enjoy all the Philly, Yeah, all the philis because

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: you and Joel was I think you were on the

6
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: floor and then Ben somehow ended up on top of you,

7
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: and y'all was going back and forth, and then you

8
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: and you and Joel Joel be trolling everybody. Joe'll be

9
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: going and everybody. So how did that start? How did

10
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: you and Joel end up? Obviously y'all big, y'all battle

11
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: each other on the court, but how did it end

12
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: up going to social media?

13
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: Just just competition. I think that moment just happened with

14
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: so much competition happening. Two guys who feel they're the

15
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: best and improve it against each other. I think that, Uh,

16
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: it's just competition. I don't think anything. Me and Joel

17
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: talked about it. We uh it's kind of funny. We

18
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: just laugh about it at this point.

19
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: Now, when you go into the game and you playing

20
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: against Joel, or you playing against Anthony Davis, or you

21
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: playing against uh Joker, are you playing against any of

22
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: the bigs, Let's just say their five big do you

23
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: go in there light? I'm sure I'm shure, and everybody

24
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: to night you.

25
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: Know you always I would think anyone would be lying

26
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 2: if they said that it wasn't a little extra juice

27
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: for that game. But I approach every game as if

28
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: Joker and be Anthony Davis is out there. You know

29
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna just take it lights.

30
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: Right, you don't take the night out.

31
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: No, No, I can't do that. Like, that's not how

32
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 2: it works.

33
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: Because they're in the NBA too. Because anybody, and this

34
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: is what I tell people about the NFL, anybody, no

35
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: matter what you think, anybody in the NFL can make

36
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: anybody else in the NFL look bad. They're in the NFL.

37
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: They get a check too. So a guy that just

38
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: because he's not joeling bad, oh, he'll hang twenty five

39
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: and ten on you in the night man Cat gave

40
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: up twenty five.

41
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: And ten to a guy it exactly.

42
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: So you have to be on your best behavior every single.

43
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: Night, every night, every night. And also just for the

44
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: love of the game, love of competing. Yeah, Like, if

45
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: you love competing, you're not just going out there to

46
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: competing only against the other best of the best, right,

47
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: You know what I'm trying to say. You go out

48
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 2: there and you could be every single night. So every

49
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: time I step on that court, I want to go,

50
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: you know, not only get a win, but show, you know,

51
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 2: put on a show for the fans who may be

52
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: a little kid. This is his only time to be

53
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: able to come watch the Timberleves game, and this is

54
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: only game NBA game he's ever watched, or his first

55
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: NBA game, or whether it be you know, funds are tight,

56
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: and this may be the only game you see all year,

57
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 2: in the next four years, five years, two years, three years,

58
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: ten years, whatever it is. I want to just bring

59
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: my best to the court so I could obviously get

60
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: us a win, but also so I could be the

61
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: best version for you know, whoever may be there, also

62
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: for my family as well, who're watching it.

63
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: You gotta face let's just say, for the Sega argument,

64
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: you gotta face Joker on a Monday. You got Joel

65
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: on two, got Joel on Wednesday? Okay, you got Anthony

66
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: Davis on Saturday.

67
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 2: I'm playing all three games.

68
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: You playing?

69
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,119
Speaker 2: Oh okay, no, what why would I take a day off?

70
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: What's your what's your mindset? Because each guy brings poses

71
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: a little different threats.

72
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: You know, Joelle and b you may have to worry

73
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: about the files. You also worry about that mid range

74
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: pull up from the Dallas action at the free throw

75
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 2: line with a d You're worrying about the old post

76
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: up full court, put his hands up, does a spin,

77
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: gets an Ali you dunk, or you know he hits

78
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 2: you with that jab step, or he hits you with

79
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: the old Kentucky special right right, mid block, goes left,

80
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: goes baseline, shoots the right hand floater and one. And

81
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: also with Joker, you know you worry about the passing

82
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: just as much as you worry about him scoring. You

83
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: worry about him effecting the game. So he gets he

84
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: gaves me. Not saying they're the same player, but both

85
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: highly respectable in their own regards. But like Marcasol. When

86
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: I was younger, regarding Marcasol, everyone asked me who's the toughest,

87
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 2: and I felt Marcasoul was because just so much how

88
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: much he impacted winning for the team. Is passing, is scoring,

89
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,839
Speaker 2: but just let alone with the way that he facilitates

90
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: the ball causes a lot of problems. So they all

91
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: present different different expertise in games in their craft and

92
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 2: it's fun. That's the whole point. Yeah, as a competitor,

93
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 2: it's fun to be able to have a week like

94
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: that where you're playing the best of the best and

95
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 2: we get to go out there and and play basketball

96
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: at its highest level. I think that's the fun part.

97
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: I don't know the cat. This seems like you be

98
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: juiced up a little bit more when you play a

99
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: d because you be trying to one pick out the

100
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: number one pick Kentucky boy. Yeah, yeah, you had a

101
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: little bit. You add a little extra season into a cat.

102
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: I am you do. You know it too.

103
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: I just go out there and I try to win. Man,

104
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: it's something that, hey, it don't matter just anyone who

105
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 2: steps up the court. You want to compete, play the best,

106
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 2: and then of course you know there's history in Staple Center.

107
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: You know you want to play well at Staple Center.

108
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 2: I know it's crypto now, I can't even look at

109
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 2: it the same. Yeah, I can't look at it as crypto.

110
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: Yes, people just people still call it. A lot of

111
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: people still call it, maybe not publicly, but they still

112
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: say privately it's Staple for sure. Yeah, best big in

113
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: the game right now? If they say, okay, cat best

114
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: big right now? Playing basketball.

115
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: We got so much good bigs on the NBA is

116
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 2: a blessing. I mean, you would probably have to say, Joker, no.

117
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: I ain't got to say, I mean you playing, I

118
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: don't play.

119
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: I think they're all great.

120
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm gonna put the four on the back.

121
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: They might, but I feel.

122
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 2: That man, Joker is incredible. I think Joker, three time MVP,

123
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 2: Joel and b is amazing in his own regard, especially

124
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 2: he's mastered the craft. I think of scoring in a

125
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 2: in a different way, you know, and a D two

126
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: ads impactful defender, but also you know, ad get going.

127
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: You know it could be a it could be a

128
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 2: bad night.

129
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: He can get you forty twenty ye quick, quick to

130
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: and he'll give you five blocks on the side to it.

131
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 2: So public opinion, I think, I think public opinions, everyone's

132
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 2: gonna have their own opinion. I think to say the best,

133
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 2: I think, I think these guys are really good, right,

134
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 2: it's really good. I respect them. It's funny when you

135
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: get to watch them and you get to play against them,

136
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: but also when you're watching them as a as a

137
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 2: fan of the game of basketball. As the art right

138
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 2: when you get to watch them guys. You know, those

139
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: guys do what they do best. It's really cool. Just

140
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 2: like Steph Curry. Yeah, as a shooter, I was incredible

141
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: to watching the Olympics.

142
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: If I put down you beat still for the three

143
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: point competition, I'll give it my.

144
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 2: Best shot for s I give my best shot for

145
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 2: Selle Uh. He's the best shooter that's ever lived, hands down.

146
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: It's crazy. You was the last two games against Hey,

147
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: I ain't never seen a man that made me get

148
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: off my eyes on the couch and go shoot and

149
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: start shooting basketballs Now, that was crazy.

150
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: I was like, you know, for me to I've played

151
00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 2: against I was telling my girl, I said, to watch

152
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 2: stuff do what he did against France. It kind of

153
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 2: like I've played against what you say, prime vintage Steph. Yes,

154
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 2: and it was so much talent he had. But to

155
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 2: watch what he did against France that it was like

156
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 2: vintage Steph as his most polished version, expert level. And

157
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: it wasn't like he was just making shots by talent.

158
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: It was making shots off of just calculated precision. Just

159
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 2: I'm I'm gonna shoot the ball four different ways, four threes.

160
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you four different types of shots, and

161
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna show you how well I shoot the ball.

162
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 2: I mean, the first one he gets pull up boom,

163
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 2: the little first one. But the first one was just

164
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 2: more of like a straight shot, straight through shot. Second

165
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: one he gives you kind of the pump fake brings

166
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: it here, gets in the pocket. You know what I'm

167
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 2: trying to say, a little hit shot. Then he give

168
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: you the third one. It's a huh step to the left,

169
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna give you this set shot three boom

170
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 2: in the fourth point, he just reached over to he

171
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: freestyle freestyle on that one. That one was crazy. I mean,

172
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: think about it. He hops steps to the right, lines

173
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: his shoulder, flicks it. Fuck it like that's special man

174
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: as a shooter. Just the absolute expertise he put on

175
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 2: as a shooter, right was.

176
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: If you hit something like that, or let's just say

177
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: for the sake of argument, CAD, you hit something, you

178
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: hit a couple of shots like that. You get one

179
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: going late in the shot clock, boom, you pit it

180
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 1: go now hey they come you side step and let

181
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: it go. You hit hit a couple of like let's

182
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: just say you hit three three in the first. You know,

183
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: you got to going on that night, I.

184
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: Had sixty two. I had sixty two when that was happening.

185
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: So can you get enough shot because now because now

186
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: you like, because I'm sure everybody's telling Cat you got disimated.

187
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: Go get seventy, go get eighty.

188
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna lie to you. I was trying to

189
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 2: put points out. I was just trying anytime I touched

190
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: the ball and felt so the game felt so easy

191
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 2: and relaxed to me. I was just trying to score,

192
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 2: put us up a lot. I was hoping, now you know,

193
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 2: we get up by a lot of points and I

194
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: would just be able to sub out the game. I

195
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 2: was hoping I didn't even have to get sixty because

196
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 2: we was winning by so much. Now you got me

197
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 2: thinking about Steph Curry again. I spent most of my

198
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 2: day on that day when they played France. I think

199
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 2: it was Saturday. Yeah. I spent the next four hours

200
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 2: just doing the moves and shooting the ball, like I

201
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: know I could shoot like this, possibly, I know I

202
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 2: could do. He shot so well he made me forget

203
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: I could shoot. That's how well he shot. I was like, yo,

204
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 2: that's crazy. One day I was like, wait a minute,

205
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 2: I can do this too. Hold up and say, let

206
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: me go out there and work on this real quick.

207
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 2: I mean that was I was spectacular.

208
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, give me five bigs you

209
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: would like to play against in any era.

210
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 2: Hakeem Olajuwan, I gotta go with someone I mimicked a

211
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 2: lot of my game or after Sam Perkins shout out

212
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: to Sam Perkins, Kareem, I'll do Jabbar. I really wanted

213
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: to play against too, Wilt Chamberlain. You know, I just

214
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 2: feel like you see Kareem play, but you don't really

215
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: get too much footage of Wilt playing, so, like, you know,

216
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 2: to see the myth legend playing in Bryson would be

217
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 2: really cool. I was. I was talking to one of

218
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 2: my friends about this. I was, I was really one.

219
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 2: Maybe Bucher.

220
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: For the Knicks.

221
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 2: I just there's something that's so poetic about his game.

222
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 2: I think that's really cool. I really would like have

223
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 2: to been able to be in person and guard, you know,

224
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 2: guard these people, be able to play and you know,

225
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 2: iron sharpens iron, just be able to see greatness in

226
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 2: front of me and be able to guard and show

227
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 2: how great I am. And also at the end of

228
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: the day be able to watch that tape and learn

229
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 2: from it. It's something that I think would be really cool.

230
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 2: So those kind of guys, I mean, willis reed. We

231
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: could keep going down the list. There's a lot of

232
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 2: people down in history that if I was honored and

233
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 2: blessed with the opportunity to play basketball against him, that

234
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: I'll be blessed. But one day we'll all meet up on.

235
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: The court up there and we'll be able to hash

236
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: it out. Said, yeah, for sure. You see the scoring.

237
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: I think the night that you scored sixty two, was

238
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: it Luca a joelan beat scored Joel and b got seventy,

239
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: got seventy, and then Luca came back and we talked.

240
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 2: About it after he was like I was in the halftime,

241
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 2: they said, Carl right here. He said, damn, we gonna

242
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 2: beat me today. And then I think a night or

243
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: two later Luca had got seventy three three or something

244
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 2: like that.

245
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 1: We all know the great Will has the record of

246
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: one hundred. We know Kobe has eighty one, and there

247
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: have been like I think Will got seventy eight and

248
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: a couple of people got seventy three, seventy five. Do

249
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: you think we'll see somebody break that hundred point in

250
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: your while you're playing. Will somebody get one hundred?

251
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 2: I don't know it's gonna be tough. I've seen a

252
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 2: lot of people get seventy. I've seen someone get seventy

253
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 2: in the NBA, and I seem like that's probably the

254
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: highest we could do.

255
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: That's because Luca need another.

256
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 2: Twenty seventy exactly, bro, and he was hit in everything,

257
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 2: so it's twenty seven more points. I don't think there's

258
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 2: gonna be enough free throws out there and players to

259
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: get these free throws done. So I don't know. I'm

260
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 2: gonna I can tell you one thing, though, unk, I'm

261
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 2: gonna have all of time watching it happen.

262
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: Possibly, right, you better hope it happened against you though.

263
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 2: One hundred points one hundred points old. Well, like my

264
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 2: UNC Darryl Dawkins said, I'm gonna go file someone before.

265
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: They Magic Johnson's business advice. Magic Johnson said he had

266
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: lunch with all the Lakers season ticket holders to pick

267
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: their brains and to learn how they built their wealth.

268
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: Have you done anything that car because obviously you made

269
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: a boatload of money. You're making money and Obviously, you

270
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: hear everybody talk about building a brand, but everybody wants

271
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: to accumulate this. I don't know if whatever you want

272
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: to be, do you want to own a franchise, be

273
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: an NFL, NBA, whatever the case may be. What have

274
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: you done to make sure that Karl Anthony Towns is

275
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 1: maximizing his ability out he has this type of money

276
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: and to maximize his earning potential off the court.

277
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 2: Listening, being able to utilizing the relationships and the friendships

278
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 2: I've made, and just learning their intellectual capital. Yes, and

279
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 2: also saying the word no a ton you know, I

280
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 2: think that's the hardest one too. Yeah, I think that

281
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 2: you know, when you're blessed with this opportunity to have

282
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 2: this kind of financial security, you a lot of times

283
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 2: want to take care of everybody. You want to be

284
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 2: able to be the person that takes people out of

285
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 2: situations and stuff. But you can lead people to the pond,

286
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 2: you can't fish for them too, you know. So, uh,

287
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 2: just learning to say the word no, I think is

288
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 2: the biggest thing that I've definitely has helped me garner

289
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: even more wealth. Shout out to the amazing people who've

290
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 2: taught me so much. From Junior Bridgeman to Magic John

291
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: people like that. You know you talked about franchising first.

292
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 2: I mean, there's no one better than Junior Bridgeman at it,

293
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 2: So just saying the word no tho. You know, there's

294
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 2: a lot of bad investments to be made. And when

295
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 2: you don't have the word know in your repertoire, you're

296
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 2: going to continue to say yes, and you're going to

297
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 2: just keep throwing money at things that you know may

298
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 2: not make money back from the ones you lost.

299
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: So well, you have to put limits on it. Cat.

300
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: You have to put limits on what you give because

301
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: takers will never put limits on what they take. Does

302
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: it is it hard to say? Is it hard? Because

303
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: a lot of times Cat, people that have been around

304
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: us before Cat had this financial security. Yeah, when Cat

305
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: was growing up, there were people around Cat that didn't

306
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: know Cat was going to become this. And you like,

307
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: does it get hard to tell? Because it's easy to

308
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: tell people know that just came in in the last

309
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: ten months. If the ones that's been around Cat for

310
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: twenty plus.

311
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 2: I've been blessed to have a great support system, amazing

312
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 2: parents obviously, and an amazing sister where I've been able

313
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 2: to have a support system that supported me the decisions

314
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 2: I had to make, and some of them were tough.

315
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 2: You know, have to say no to some people. So

316
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 2: it's tough.

317
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: You know.

318
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 2: Like I said, you're the first of your of your

319
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 2: family's history to be able to do this kind of

320
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 2: job and to be able to accumulate this amount of money,

321
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 2: financial security. The blessing be to God. But you know,

322
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 2: if it comes a lot of responsibility. And I think

323
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 2: we both understand that absolutely. So you want to help everyone,

324
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 2: you can't also live the life for them, you know.

325
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: So you can help some, but you can't save anyone. No, Uh,

326
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: You've had a relationship. Fifty cent Liquor is the official

327
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: sponsor of Spirits of the Timberwolves. A Rod we know

328
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: obviously know the baseball player, but he's a minority owner

329
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: of the Timberwolf. And I think you had a you

330
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: went to a Floord Mayweather's gym. Yes, three guys that

331
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: have been very, very successful and their chosen professional profession

332
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: but then parlayed that into business. What did you learn

333
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: from some of those guys being around them, talking to them,

334
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: picking their brain.

335
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: I think it was the things I was talking about,

336
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 2: like building relationships and utilizing these moments where we have

337
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: a Jersey on should be able to learn. Like I said,

338
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: intellectual capital is something that has a tremendous amount of value.

339
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 2: Yes where we come from. And you know this, like

340
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 2: you only know what you know, correct, But to hear

341
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 2: people who are doing at the highest level when they're

342
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 2: teaching you, and maybe even something as simple as just

343
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 2: a different way of thinking about business, that business could

344
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 2: change lives and it could change your portfolio, it could

345
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 2: change the way you look at business and also garner

346
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 2: you a ton of money. So I just I just

347
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 2: spent a lot of time just listening, listening to these

348
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 2: super smart individuals who haven't figured out in their crafts.

349
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 2: And like you said, and I think those three people

350
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 2: have taken the moment where they were being the best

351
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 2: at their profession and utilized it to build relationships and

352
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 2: also garner knowledge for their next the next career. And

353
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 2: I think that they've they've done an amazing job. I

354
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 2: mean to even hear fifty cent a rod two people,

355
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 2: I was back my way East Coast and New Jersey,

356
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 2: I'm like going crazy for I remember going out my

357
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 2: way to go get some g unit shoes in Jersey

358
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 2: and have the faux exl G Unit sweatsuit type thing. Yeah,

359
00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 2: and a Rod, you know, doing whatever already took to

360
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 2: get an a Rod Jersey and my collection. I mean,

361
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 2: it's crazy to be able to call these people business

362
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 2: associates but also friends.

363
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: In the conversation that we were just having, he was

364
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: talking about what you learned from fifty and a Rod

365
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: and Floyd Mayweather four times. I don't know if you

366
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: notice he used the word relationship. I don't think people

367
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: realize that enough. Is that business is about relationship.

368
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 2: Yes, it is. It's a trust of each other to

369
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 2: get the job done.

370
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: It's about and sometimes it might not the business that

371
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: you could potentially do might not happen then. But he said,

372
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: you know what, man, you know that dude, Karen Anthony

373
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: Towns Man, I was talking to him about four years

374
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: ago and he was interested in doing something. I think

375
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: he would be great for this project.

376
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 2: There's kindness goes a long way, and it does. And

377
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 2: you know, I always feel that good people always win

378
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 2: in the end. So just being a good person, you know,

379
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 2: being a man, a man that walks to faith and

380
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 2: talks to faith. I think that is a for me

381
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 2: has worked tremendously in my career outside of basketballom and uh,

382
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 2: you know, numbers say what they say about me playing basketball,

383
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 2: and I've been think, you know, I can't thank God

384
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 2: enough for this ability to have that kind of financial

385
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 2: security in my job and from the contracts I've been

386
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 2: able to garner for my talent that's been God given.

387
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 2: But for me to be able to translate that also

388
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 2: off the court and make a ton of money off

389
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 2: the court, you know, with that kind of knowledge, As

390
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 2: you know, I gotta give all credit to my parents.

391
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 2: They taught me how to shut up and listens today.

437
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 2: to like people put me in that. Ye speak for

438
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 2: me like you said, h Shock someone who It's been

439
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 2: such an integral part of my life watching basketball but

440
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 2: also from Jersey, just motivating Kyrie. I think Kyrie is

441
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 2: the best I've ever seen in my life playing in

442
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 2: Jersey like that.

443
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: Two more spots by seven people left. Ain't no twins

444
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: on Mount Roycemore either, right, h.

445
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 2: Growing up for me, Kyrie was one of the best

446
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 2: players I've ever seen, and then j R. Smith was

447
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 2: right there, so I used to go to the game.

448
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 2: So for me, I'm gonna have to go with j R.

449
00:22:51,240 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 2: Smith And then honestly, like I said, this is my opinion.

450
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 2: This is just what my own two eyes have seen

451
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 2: these people do. I'm gonna give it to my old

452
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 2: team MKA Kyle Anderson when he was over there A

453
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 2: sy Anthony's never lost. Really, he was one of the

454
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 2: I've never seen someone who can hit you with such

455
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,719
Speaker 2: a slow cross over. Oh my god, I would give

456
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 2: it to k was one of the players. He never

457
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 2: lost the game.

458
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: Wow.

459
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 2: So I'm like, I said, I'm gonna go with my

460
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 2: Mount Rushmore because I need to see it with my

461
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 2: own two eyes. Like General Patton said, I want you

462
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,479
Speaker 2: to tell me. I need to see it. So I just, uh,

463
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 2: my own two eyes seeniece four people do something magical

464
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 2: in Jersey that seemed impossible for us. You know, maybe

465
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,240

00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 2: the history that comes with it, so of course it

505
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 2: was impressionable. And then on top of that, the most

506
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 2: impressionable stage in my career when it came to playing basketball,

507
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 2: especially as just a kid, I'm seeing lind Sanity go crazy. Yeah, yeah,

00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 2: For me was crazy because I actually could watch it right.

512
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 2: You know, back in the day you only had a

513
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 2: certain amount of you know, ESPN, maybe you could watch

514
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 2: some NBA games National TV, and MSG was free right

515
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 2: way to being able to watch the next play on

516
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 2: MSG and then watch you know the nets will be on, yes,

517
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 2: So I went with You know, I had two teams

518
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 2: to pick from. MG was the easiest for me to

519
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 2: watch for free, and lynd Sanity was the hottest thing

520
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 2: at the time, so of course I was watching and

521
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 2: I was tuned in.

522
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 1: When did you hit your growth spurt? I was always tall, really,

523
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 1: I was always tall. So he was always the tallest

524
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: kid in the class.

525
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, since I was young second grade, I was already

526
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 2: taller than my teacher.

527
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: So so where you were you awkward? So you could

528
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: always because you know, sometimes are tall and they're gangly, and.

529
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 2: You know, also don't know no coordination, right right, right, right?

530
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 2: I was. I just played so many sports growing up,

531
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 2: and I used to play a ton of soccer. Okay,

532
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 2: so I was playing soccer all the time. And when

533
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 2: I was in school and I recessed, I was.

534
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: In a tall lass soccer players care right, I was, Hey.

535
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 2: When you kids, everyone's good to go. So I was

536
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 2: just I was just playing all these sports and I

537
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 2: was just naturally coordinated. And also I was just getting

538
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 2: even better at coordination, you know, because I was just

539
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,959
Speaker 2: playing all these sports, I required different movements, different balance,

540
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 2: different everything. So for me being so tall, it was

541
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 2: perfect for me to be experimenting with so many different sports.

542
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 1: Right, What made you choose Kentucky? Obviously, when you had

543
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: your pick Kentucky, dude, Carolina can't what made you choose Kentucky?

544
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 2: You know, it came down to I knew what I

545
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 2: wanted to accomplish. They had such a great track record

546
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 2: with doing that, and at the end of the day,

547
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 2: it was just something told my mom that would be

548
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 2: the school for me. And she just told me, you know,

549
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 2: she was going to support me in any decision I

550
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 2: made wherever I went. But she had a good gut

551
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 2: feeling about Kentucky and she told me, whatever you go

552
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 2: pick and she knew I was kind of choosing between Kentucky, Duke,

553
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 2: Michigan State, loves NC State. I had a great visit

554
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 2: over there, and Rutgers. You know, I wanted to come home.

555
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:15,959
Speaker 2: She works at Rutgers. It was like a perfect thing

556
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 2: to be home. Especially when you're young, you always think

557
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 2: going home is the best thing. Ever you get older,

558
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:28,719
Speaker 2: you're like, hell, now, I just you know, I trusted

559
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 2: in my mom with my life. She gave me life.

560
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 2: She had a good feeling about it. I took that

561
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 2: into consideration, and when it came down to the day,

562
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 2: I just I had. I had a good feeling about

563
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 2: that on that day of picking the school, that it

564
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 2: was going to be Kentucky would be the best for

565
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,360

00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:47,360

593
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 2: I remember seeing Drake before that at March Madness in

594
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 2: Villanova and Villanova. I think they later just was coming

595
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 2: out and h could be wrong, but I saw him

596
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 2: a Kentucky. When I actually ended up going to Kentucky,

597
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 2: I was already there. I was on campus, was my

598
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 2: first year super cool guy. I was more. I was

599
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 2: surprised to see how humble he was and like to

600
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 2: see how you know, to see him for us when

601
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,479
Speaker 2: we were it's March madness for us, and we were

602
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 2: so we practiced in the morning. We were just like,

603
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 2: all right, we gotta get this done, we gotta do this.

604
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 2: And to see how hyped and anxious he was and

605
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 2: made me be like, oh, but even people who are

606
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 2: like the most famous artists in the world and people

607
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 2: who have their sets and everything so figured out, you know,

608
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 2: even they get kind of that anxious feeling and that

609
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 2: like so much energy, so much you know, adrenaline going.

610
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 2: So I was and we were all just so calm, like,

611
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 2: you know, we just gotta go out there to do

612
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 2: this thing, play this game real quick. So it was

613
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 2: cool to get to know him there. It's you know,

614
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 2: years later, we're still talking about how he the biggest

615
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 2: artists in the world and doing things that and breaking

616
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 2: records that thought we thought never could be broken even

617
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 2: by anybody, include when you have the name Michael Jackson

618
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 2: attached to that record. So man, it was really cool

619
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 2: to be able to have that, like at such a

620
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 2: young age, have that moment where you're like with someone

621

622
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: Who who was in the rap battle Draco Kendrick.

623
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 2: I think we just saw two people going out there

624
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 2: and just showing lyricism at a high level. I love Drake.

625
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 2: I've always been a big Drake fan. I've been a

626
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 2: Kendrick fan. I respect what he does. I respect his music.

627
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: I love what he does. I really but you can't

628
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: turn the radio out without hear in that song a

629
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: cat y'all be You know, when y'all, when y'all start

630
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: winning the game, what's gonna be playing over the PA system?

631
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: They not like us?

632
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 2: You know?

633
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: It could be cat. I don't know.

634
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 2: I don't know, but all I know is that for me,

635
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 2: I have I respect both tremendously. I'm obviously a big

636
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 2: fan friends with Drake. I think that more of my

637
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 2: life has been a soundtrack of Drake's and that's no

638
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 2: offense to nobody. I just think that I've I've done.

639
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 2: I've had more moments in my life that revolved around Drake,

640
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 2: including when we was in Kentucky. If you I'll never

641
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 2: forget being at a being in Kentucky and then all

642
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 2: Son again, the group text message going around saying, Yo,

643
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 2: you saw Drake drop? What you mean Drake drop? I

644
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 2: felt like I was getting played though, too, because when

645
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 2: I pulled it up and said, if you're reading this,

646
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 2: it's too late. I said, so am I late or

647
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 2: in my own time? I don't know, but I just

648
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 2: feel like from more of my life, Drake's been the soundtrack.

649
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: To my life. Give me a Kentucky starting five. A

650
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: players current players in the NBA, current players, current players

00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: make it difficult. Give me your Kentucky starting five.

654
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 2: John wall Ad and Twine Walker. I would love to

00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 2: throw my brother Book in now.

656
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: You can't. You can put you in there.

657
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 2: I leave that for the people. Like I said, I'm

658
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 2: always keep my name out.

659
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: But they're gonna leave bam Off. I shore hate you left, bam.

660
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,479
Speaker 2: I really Bam Well, we both all we both now

661
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 2: on the list. I would say, uh, as of right

662
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 2: now where we stand, like where they're in the career,

663
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 2: I would say, Book honestly think our best player of

664
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 2: that year was Willie colly Stein.

665
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: Really we all we all.

666
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 2: Want him to win National Player the Year more than anybody.

667
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 1: Wow.

668
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 2: So I'm going off with like that, like Kentucky, like

669
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 2: he was playing in Kentucky. If we're playing at Kentucky.

670
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 2: I can't say Book because he was on the bench.

671
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 2: So it's like if we look at Book now, which

672
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 2: we all knew on that team what he could do,

673
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 2: that's that was the show.

674
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 1: Different story you leading to my next question. Did you

675
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: know this, Dawn?

676
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

677
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: Really?

678
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, I knew he could do that. Before he

679
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 2: knew he could do that.

680
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: Hell can what Kenny Kelly and put his ass in

681
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: and started doing that.

682
00:34:55,800 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 2: Man, I'm just saying, I ain't watching the game, but

683
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 2: I'm not doing it.

684
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: If you know that, he the coach, shouldn't he know that.

685
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 2: I think we went with seniority. We had Aaron Andrew

686
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 2: Harrison just won of them last year. Last year got

687
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 2: him through all those big shots. I think we we

688
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 2: did what we did was best, and we as a

689
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 2: team we always said we were gonna win together and

690
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 2: we're gonna lose together. So I think that what we

691
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 2: see Book doing now, we all knew he could do.

692
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 2: But also even in NBA, he had to wait for

693
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 2: his moment.

694
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 1: And when he got his moment that Mayne dropped seventy,

695
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: done dropped sixties.

696
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 2: Hey, it took him years before he was getting DMPs.

697
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 2: His rookie here too.

698
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: But y'all, y'all saw the talent. Y'all saw that smooth.

699
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 2: I mean I think everyone saw the talent. We all

700
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 2: got drafted. No no, no, no, no, no, no no,

701
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 2: we all got drafted every time he went to those

702
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 2: workouts because we all worked out. It was me and him, Dillo,

703
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 2: Willie Colly signed Keith for Sykes. We all was together

704
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 2: when we was doing these workouts, and we knowing what

705
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 2: people are saying, and people already knew what he could do.

706
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 2: And we all sawacrifice too, because remember we did the

707
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 2: platoon system, so it wasn't like because I was a starter,

708
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 2: I was playing the most minutes, right, you know, we

709
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 2: was playing half or even less starters than the bench,

710
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 2: so some guys would get more minutes on the bench

711
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 2: than the starter. Was Wow, that just shows you the sacrifice.

712
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 2: That's why I keep saying, like to have a team

713
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 2: like that, you got nine draft picks and for everyone

714
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 2: to come together and say, naw, we're going to do

715
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 2: whatever it takes to win. Forget what we thought, we

716
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 2: knew that we needed to do to take our families

717
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 2: and be able to feed our families. After Kentucky, we

718
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 2: just locked into just being the best team we could

719
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 2: be and winning and at the end of the day

720
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 2: when it took care of everything and we all got

721
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 2: to take care of our families.

722
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: Do you consider yourself a four or five?

723
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,919
Speaker 2: I'm both. I think I could do four or five duties, right.

724
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: Okay, well good, give me your top five fours in

725
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: the history of the game.

726
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:59,720
Speaker 2: Top five, top five, Dirk KG, Tim Duncan.

727
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: Is he a four?

728
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 2: What do you classify as a four?

729
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,760
Speaker 1: Tim Duncan, KG, Dirk, you got Karl Malone, you got Gianni's,

730
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 1: you got Charles, you got.

731
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 2: Is gonna be counted as a four?

732
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: Yes?

733
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 2: Really as we want? I thought he's we're gonna count

734
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 2: as a three. But if you want to count as a.

735
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: Four year four.

736
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 2: Three, you could be the five. Fall At that point,

737
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 2: brick Lovez just makes.

738
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: It seem like he really is.

739
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 2: I would say, Karl Malone, Okay, it's gonna be someone

740
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 2: left off. Mm hmm.

741
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: I Love be honest too, I can't tell. You can't

742
00:37:56,280 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: tell he bring a band three times? I mean you

743
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: can put yourself on that too if you want to.

744
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 2: No, like I said, I ain't put myself.

745
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: I let people do. But we got Tim, we got

746
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: kg we got Dirk, we got Karl Malone. So we

747
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 1: only got one more left. So that's either Yiannis, Charles,

748
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: Chris Bosh, Dinnis Robin.

749
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 2: You know, I was thinking in the beginning it was

750
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 2: Chris Bosh. But Charles Barkley was so special.

751
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: He was we were so good people. People gotta take

752
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: the time to go back and watch Barkley highlights, like,

753
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 1: don't let he's the shortest man.

00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 2: a player said, let me double back and be the

777
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 2: coach too. Matter of fact, let me own the team.

778

780
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 2: never going to see another man do this with rings

781
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 2: with rings on, just do this with extra rings.

782
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: No, I don't. I don't. Well, I don't even think

783
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: you can own a team. Now you have to divest

784
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: your and look what he did it too.

785
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, like that's crazy. Ship shout out the Yolk. Though,

786
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 2: for sure, who's your goat?

787
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: There's a lot of debate. They got Jordan's. I mean,

788
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: you know, it don't have to just be Jordan and Lebron.

789
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: If you want to put Kobe in that mix, half

790
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: at it. But who's Karl Anthony Towns?

791
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 2: Like I said, I'm always gonna speak what I see

792
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 2: with my own two eyes. Okay, I can't speak for everything.

793
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be able to but man, that man Bron different,

794
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:31,720
Speaker 2: That man Brian something special.

795
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 1: So what what makes what makes him different?

796
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 2: Why?

797
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 1: Why is he different? You played again? Like I said,

798
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: you go get Yanna, you go again, Jo.

799
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 2: So I've seen Bron and I've seen Bron in so

800
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 2: many different stages. Yeah, I feel the Bron's is the

801
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 2: best player we've ever seen. Talent wise, I think he's

802
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 2: the best player you could.

803
00:40:58,160 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 3: Now.

804
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 2: If you want to get caught up in chips and

805
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 2: rings and all that stuff, that's that's up to people

806
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 2: to debate. But when we just talk about pure talent

807
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 2: and tangible size, like to have the be the best

808
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:11,879
Speaker 2: basketball player, you got to have all these different things.

809
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 2: And look when he's and look how he's done it

810
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 2: with the scrutiny, to criticism or anything. I mean, Bron's

811
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 2: the best player. We're saying both hands. Now. He's developed

812
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 2: that three point shot really well, defended at a high

813
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 2: level for all for all those years. Athleticism was I

814
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 2: don't think, I don't know the best you've got in

815
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 2: the NFL. I don't know can still jump as high

816
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 2: as he was the way he was doing it, eat

817
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:49,919
Speaker 2: all that like competitiveness got the wins. Ron is bron

818
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,479
Speaker 2: is the best basketball player we've ever seen talent wise,

819
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 2: just straight off the rip, he's the best player.

00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 1: Well.

837
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 2: I just I just was.

838
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 1: I don't know.

839
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was just the fact that

840
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 2: I was. We had a good relationship. Everything was cool.

841
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 2: It just I was doing my own thing. I was

842
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 2: cool being where I was in life. It just really

843
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 2: everything changed in COVID, you know, and it became more

844
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:01,800
Speaker 2: of a a deeper understanding of each other from a

845
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,320
Speaker 2: friend's spot. She had went through something that I was

846
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 2: going through, and I, like I said, my parents taught

847
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 2: me how to shut up and listen, so I'm okay

848
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 2: talking to people saying I don't know. And I needed

849
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 2: advice and I needed to learn. And she had the

850
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 2: knowledge that that you that that you need, that would

851
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 2: be that would be the most valuable knowledge and and

852
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 2: and advice I can ever get at a time when

853
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 2: I really really needed it, and it brought me. She

854
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 2: brought me comfort as a friend into the next phase

855
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 2: of my life. And that's something that's, uh that's really

856
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 2: tough to uh find in situations like that when there's

857
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 2: extreme amount of discomfort.

858
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:44,479
Speaker 1: And uh.

859
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 2: Ever, since then, we was man, we you know what,

860
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 2: because we was friends. So it don't feel like.

861
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: I don't feelship.

862
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 2: I just feel like we just we living life together,

863
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 2: you know what. I'm trying to say yes and I

864
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 2: get to do what I want to do, and she's

865
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 2: very open to whateveryone to do because we already been

866
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 2: accepted it as friends. So it's like we just kind

867
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 2: of just we move seamless, you know, and you know,

868
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 2: people say when they say they move as one, it's

869
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 2: hard to see it. And I think for us it's

870
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 2: just so seamless. We're not trying to be anything else

871
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 2: than just you know, each other's safety net.

872
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 1: Right when you a public figure, obviously she's in the

873
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 1: public eye. Is it hard to date publicly because everything?

874
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: Oh okay they were that fashion week, Oh they were

875
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: over here. And then people start these rumors because there

876
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 1: was a rumor that you were seeing somebody else. You're like,

877
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: come on, bro, I got the bad the chick in

878
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 1: the game. Why would up.

879
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 2: I'm cooler, I'm good. Life is good for me. But

880
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 2: that gets hard. I mean, I think that we both

881
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 2: have different we both lived in the public guy, right,

882
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 2: you know, we both have different things, different rumors. That's

883
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 2: where I've been completely false. We understand people are going

884
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 2: to go with whatever is the most entertaining right, you know,

885
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 2: and it doesn't have to be the truth. It just

886
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 2: needs to sound the best. And for us, we just

887
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 2: we know where we who we are to each other,

888
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 2: we know where we stand with each other, we know

889
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 2: the life we're building, so we're not worried about none

890
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 2: of that. We're just trying to enjoy this moment we got.

891
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 2: You know, life is only so long, right and and

892
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 2: to have this part where you get to live with

893
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 2: each other with no aches and pains, and you get

894

00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 2: what's making it special for us. We ain't worried about

897
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,360

00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: We're not just like.

902
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 2: Brands cool, but like us growing as individuals, as a man,

903
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 2: as a woman, being better versions of ourselves every day.

904
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 1: Through each other.

910
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: and did a combination of the two brands together. You

00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:13,240
Speaker 1: know what that meant.

912
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:20,839

Speaker 2: I don't know truthfully what the situation is there, But

926
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 2: I know one thing is that I feel for him.

927
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 2: He was supportive of his teammates, cheered him on, was

928
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 2: willing to come into the game at any moment and

929

Speaker 2: feel like for him he handled it with a he

931
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 2: handled it as a professional, And I think that's what's

932
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,320
Speaker 2: respectable about him. To have someone like you said it

933
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 2: has all these accolades and just coming off the best

934
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 2: year of his career. Yeah, to kind of have that

935
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 2: moment and to take it not in a harsh way,

936
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 2: but to take it as a humbling moment, To take

937
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 2: it as a moment of motivation, a moment of appreciating

938
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 2: what he's done. I think that he did a great

939
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,399
Speaker 2: job of just being there for his teammates and doing

940
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 2: whatever it was needed by him to win a game

941
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 2: and win the game, win a gold medal. I got

942
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 2: nothing but respect for him. I think he did so

943
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 2: many things. Winning a championship garners a ton amount of

944
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 2: respect that he should be, you know, he's warranted, and

945
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 2: then going out there winning a gold medal and doing it,

946
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 2: and I definitely think in the most difficult way for

947
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 2: your ego, I think that gives him a lot more respect.

948
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 2: I mean, he warrants a lot of respect.

949
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty eight. You interested in being playing for the

950
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 1: Land Olympics. I mean no, you go, I mean US

951
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: or dr You could play.

952
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:22,800
Speaker 2: For Eviloyd to the soil. Lloyd's to the soil. I

953
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 2: promise I'll be with my mother's country. So that's been

954
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 2: my goal, and it was my goal to get us

955
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 2: to the Olympics this year, and we became one game short.

956
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 2: Greece got in instead of us. So I don't have

957
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:38,840
Speaker 2: anything in my mind telling me to change, right. So

958
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 2: hopefully I'll be seeing everyone in la home cooking with

959
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 2: the r I would love that I would be first.

960
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 2: I think that would be the first Olympics we've ever

961
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 2: made too as a basketball team.

962
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 1: Wow. Okay, you you throughout this interview, you've touched on it.

963
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 1: You talk about a lot of the decisions that you made,

964
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 1: your mom was heavily invested in it. And you trust

965
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:02,840
Speaker 1: your mom to the UPTE because you knew she genuinely,

966
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 1: sincerely had your best interests and she would never ever

967
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 1: steer you wrong when the tragic events happened. Are you

968
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:12,839
Speaker 1: ever going to be the same.

969
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 2: No, I'll be a stronger version than I was that moment.

970
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 2: You get stronger. I know time wounds, all heals all wounds.

971
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 2: Time also could just make scar tissue. So I just

972
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 2: kind of have a scar there. But I became stronger

973
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 2: because of that scar. And I know that. You know,

974
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 2: my lessons was over teach me the game of life.

975
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 2: You know, she had taught me everything she needed to

976
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 2: teach me. So I'm just taking those teachings and you know,

977
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 2: taking those teachings, giving it to the youth, giving us

978
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 2: in the next generation. Taking that that love. She taught me,

979
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 2: the word love. I never knew what the word love

980
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 2: truly meant, and she taught me that every single day

981
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 2: in such different fashions. And I understand and love that

982
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be hurt, and I'm willing to show my

983
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 2: courage and show my sh strength by allowing myself to

984
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 2: possibly be hurt by showing love to others. And I

985
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 2: think that comes with That's a tremendous lesson. She taught

986
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 2: me to not stop ever showing love just because I've

987
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:13,720
Speaker 2: been hurt once or twice, or my love was not repaid.

988
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 2: You know, you continue to do that because it's the

989
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:17,879
Speaker 2: right thing to do. You continue to do that because

990
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 2: that's who I am at my core. I'm a person

991
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 2: who is a servant leader, and I'm here to spread

992
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 2: the love she's given me throughout the years of my

993
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 2: life and give that to someone else and maybe hopefully

994
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 2: change their lives the way she changed my life.

995
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: There's a saying that says that when you care about

996
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: somebody as much as you cared about your mom, as

997
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: much as I cared about my grandmother, is that you

998
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,399
Speaker 1: never get over it. You just get better at dealing

999
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 1: with it. If you could tell your mom something right now,

1000
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: what would you deal her.

1001
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 2: I just tell her the main thing she want to know,

1002
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 2: sister's good niece, and you is good. She got another

1003
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:08,360
Speaker 2: one now, Queen is doing amazing. My father's holding up strong.

1004
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 2: She taught me all the lessons she taught me, and

1005
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 2: being the matriarch of a family, I've took those teachings

1006
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 2: that I think I've done a pretty damn good job

1007
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 2: of keeping our family and the family she built together.

1008
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 2: And I had a strong point.

1009
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 1: And.

1010
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 2: I think for me, for me to her, I'm never

1011
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:32,840
Speaker 2: allowed the love she gave me to diminish because she

1012
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 2: wasn't here. Wow, And I continue to show that quality

1013
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 2: of love with an even better understanding and using a

1014
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:44,320
Speaker 2: better and I communicated better than I ever had because

1015
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 2: of her.

1016
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:45,840
Speaker 1: So I.

1017
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 2: Would tell her that the love she's given me is

1018
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 2: not lost, its brighter than ever and I'm able to

1019
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 2: communicate it at a better level because of her. So

1020
00:51:55,560 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 2: her last lesson she gave me before she at at

1021
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:04,320
Speaker 2: our funeral was a lesson that I've learned. And I

1022
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:06,319
Speaker 2: could tell her that I've heard the lesson clear as

1023
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 2: day and continue to share it.

1024
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 1: You said that when your mom, I think this was

1025
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, when pandemic. That's when Jordan, your girlfriend

1026
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 1: there is that what built you bond because when you

1027
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:27,800
Speaker 1: were at your lowest, she was at her strongest, and

1028
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:29,280
Speaker 1: that's what you needed in that moment.

1029
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 2: I did, I did. I never knew I've lost people

1030
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 2: really close to me. But you know, there's a connection

1031
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:45,799
Speaker 2: that comes with being a You never hear a mama's girl.

1032
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 2: You never hear a daddy's boy. Yeah, you always hear

1033
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 2: a mama's boy, daddy's girl. So you when you lose

1034
00:52:54,800 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 2: someone who is always going to be the from me

1035
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 2: as a man. My mom was the first person that

1036
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 2: showed me love and it was the first person and

1037
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 2: it's the longest relationship I've ever had. Wow, So imagine

1038
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 2: losing the longest relationship you've ever had, very first person

1039
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 2: to tell you I love you. So imagine. You know, breakups.

1040
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,760
Speaker 2: I think everyone who's watching this or behind the cameras

1041
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:23,800
Speaker 2: and everything, you can understand that when you have a

1042
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 2: significant other, losing your you know, breaking up, going separate

1043
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 2: ways is a tough thing. Regard this, So imagine now

1044
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 2: the longest relationship, the relationship you always knew was gonna

1045
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:38,359
Speaker 2: be solid. You never had to worry about that all

1046
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 2: of a sudden it's gone and you both go separate ways,

1047
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:49,399
Speaker 2: and it's it was tough, and I never had dealt

1048
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 2: with that, and I was she was just helping me

1049
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 2: throughout this, throughout that whole time because she had just

1050
00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 2: lost her father, Daddy's girl, and she just lost him

1051
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 2: tragically to cancer. So to be able to one I

1052
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:11,720
Speaker 2: just thank her for even giving me that time and advice,

1053
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 2: because you know that that's a sense of the subject

1054
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 2: to have to bring up and I need you to

1055
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:19,840
Speaker 2: help me in the same way for her to do that,

1056
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 2: and then secondly, just truly guide me through the process

1057
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:27,759
Speaker 2: of losing her.

1058
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 1: It was.

1059
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:32,799
Speaker 2: Was I hope that she does she knows I think

1060
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:37,319
Speaker 2: now how important that was to me, and I'll never

1061
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 2: forget she was. I was talking to her and I

1062
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 2: remember talking to her on the last moments before for

1063
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:44,840
Speaker 2: her last moment. So she gave me a lot of

1064
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:48,359
Speaker 2: strength and courage when I didn't know if I would

1065
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:53,360
Speaker 2: have it. And uh, she she did a lot for me,

1066
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:55,799
Speaker 2: more than I could speak on. She did a lot

1067
00:54:55,840 --> 00:55:00,040
Speaker 2: for me when I needed her the most. And and

1068
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:01,799
Speaker 2: it was in the you know, I think for us

1069
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 2: people who breadwinners, people who always fit the bill, Oh

1070
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 2: don't take the car to I got you know what

1071
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 2: I'm trying to say. For me to not have to

1072
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:13,800
Speaker 2: even pay and pay for any of this advice, I

1073
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 2: didn't pay for this intellectual capital. I didn't pay for

1074
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 2: this counseling. For her to give it just so freely

1075
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 2: with love, it was something that reminded me of her

1076
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 2: who I was visiting, So it kind of gave me

1077
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 2: that sense of like someone who my mom would really

1078
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:30,879
Speaker 2: really love.

1079
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 1: That's right. It was what can we expect from Karl

1080
00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 1: Anthony Towns in the Minnesota Timberwood twenty twenty four twenty twenty.

1081
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:41,399
Speaker 2: Five season, just build off of what we did last year?

1082
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:45,839
Speaker 2: Special year, special season. All of Minnesota's hype. They can't

1083
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,399
Speaker 2: wait to see their timber Wolves back. We kept going

1084
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 2: with Wolves back slogan. I don't know what we're going

1085
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 2: to do now next year, I don't know we're gonna

1086
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 2: say wolves here or what's going to go on. But

1087
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 2: what I can say is, you know, stability to hell

1088
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,759
