Speaker 3: you know, our practices. It was, man, it was it was.

183
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 3: It was on like guys literally get to fighting and

184
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 3: cussing each other out. Like it was that type of

185
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 3: like now we're gonna bust our ass, like the second team,

186
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 3: like we had a whip, you know what I'm saying.

187
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 3: We wasn't just going you know.

188
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, one of the one of the names you threw

189
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 2: out there, Vitas the Bonus. You know how I'm a

190
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: little you know, we we obviously the same age, but

191
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 2: I hear a lot of you know, praise and talk

192
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: about Jokic, and rightfully so, I think what he's doing

193
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 2: is amazing and he's one of the one of my

194
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 2: favorite players to watch. But I'm old enough to remember

195
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: what Sabonis look like and and and you know, a

196
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 2: lot of people, a lot of people don't know, but

197
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 2: Sabonis before the injuries and how he dominated over in

198
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 2: the EuroLeague and things that he was doing. How was it,

199
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: you know, for somebody like you who actually saw that

200
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 2: up closing personal And then you get to look at

201
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 2: guys like Joker today in the league and you don't

202
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 2: but you don't hear guys, you know, they say, oh,

203
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 2: we've never seen nothing like this. But somebody like Zach Randolph,

204
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: who was in practice with our Vida Sibonis, how is

205
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: that for you like to sit down and sit back

206
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: and hear God say that we've never seen nothing like this,

207
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 2: and you've actually played with some of the most legendary

208
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: big men of the game.

209
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 3: And yeah, like I said, just noticed people, you know.

210
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 3: And it's depending on who who's saying it too, because

211
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 3: like you said, our Vida's he was he was a

212
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 3: one of a kind, like Jokic. Jokic, he's a special

213
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 3: player on the best the play the game. But got

214
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 3: a lot of Markus. So Mark Saul had the same thing.

215
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 3: They remind me each other a lot, you know what

216
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 3: I mean when they lead the team with the past,

217
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 3: like Mark was our i Q on the team defensively

218
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 3: and offensively. He get everybody going. He got me going

219
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 3: on both ends, you know what I mean, and got

220
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 3: me a test. So just seeing how they play, they

221
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 3: reminded me so much of each other. And like you said,

222
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 3: he got a lot of r Vedas in Yokic. Does

223
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 3: you know he's a special player, But like you said,

224
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 3: there's players that just before him that you can they

225
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 3: put in that same realm of things with with with yolks,

226

00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 2: when you see guys like Yogic and you kind of

231
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,000

00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: how I had to guard him. He got to come

235
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 2: back and guard you Now, Like, how is it watching

236
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: the game now with these guys like Yokics and you

237
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 2: sitting back knowing what you did and you're style of play, Like,

238
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: do you ever sit and wish you had that opportunity

239
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 2: to match up?

240
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 3: You know what, Man, I got to play against's younger years.

241
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 3: You know, you know when I played against he always

242
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 3: had talent, Like you said, he always had them in tengibles.

243
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 3: Always can score the ball and pass the ball and

244
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 3: he can shoot it. And can you knew he was

245
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 3: gonna be a good player. And you look at his

246
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 3: progression of playing and you see that he's getting better.

247
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 3: So yeah, man, I see I sit back and watch

248
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 3: these young fellas play there. It's a lot of talent.

249
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 3: But damn right, I wish I could get out there

250
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 3: and go at them boys and throw some elbows and

251
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 3: you know, give him a little that old school you

252
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying? Yeah, them boys is tough. Though.

253
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 2: Do you ever do you ever watch the game now

254
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 2: today and ever feel like you know, most of the

255
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 2: fans today we kind of feel like the game has

256
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 2: changed so much because, like when you were in Portland,

257
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 2: the style of play in the league then, even not

258
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 2: even Portland Memphis.

259
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 4: The style of play is so.

260
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 2: Different, and not just team by team, It's like around

261
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,599
Speaker 2: the league unanimously, everybody is playing the same it's just

262
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 2: shoot threes, shoot threes. I read something that the commissioner

263
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 2: is thinking about introducing the full point shot at some

264
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 2: point in the next couple of years. Do you just

265
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 2: feel like the game is kind of getting away from

266
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 2: one the physicality and to just the essence of like

267
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 2: real basketball, because you know, you see guys get up

268
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 2: and down and everybody stop at the three point line

269
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 2: and just shoot threes. It's like, Okay, I get it,

270
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 2: but that kind of takes away some of the fabric

271
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 2: of the game.

272
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 3: Though. Yeah, I definitely understand what you're saying. You know,

273
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 3: the game has changed, you know what I mean, Like

274
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 3: it's a lot of more shooting, a lot of more

275
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 3: three point But at the same time, I get the

276
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 3: game credit because the fundamentals, it's definitely not where it was.

277
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 3: It's more these guys are six seven feet shoot threes,

278
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 3: picking and popping. Like the game has changed. But at

279
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 3: the same point, you know, I feel like, for me,

280
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,599
Speaker 3: like basketball it's not like it used to be. But

281
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 3: you're gonna get that. It's like a revolving clock. Always

282
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 3: say it all the time. I think it's going which

283
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 3: to come back around. You're going to have a draft

284
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 3: for maybe five years from now, six years from now,

285
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 3: you're gonna have six seven footers, you know what I mean.

286
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 3: You're gonna have two sacks coming in where guys like

287
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 3: Zach Edy, you know what I mean, in a post

288
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 3: and playing. So I think the game has changed and

289
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 3: the guys, a lot of a lot of guys want

290
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 3: to play a lot of teams personally don't want to

291
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 3: play like Golden State. They don't want who set who

292
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 3: set this tree and started playing this way with the

293
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,599
Speaker 3: three point shooting. I think for that, you got to

294
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 3: have a personnel. Now, if you got a team, you

295
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 3: got some guys on the on the team that you

296
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 3: got shooters and you got knocked down threes, and you

297
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 3: could play that way. That's understandable. But I feel like

298
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 3: the teams need to play to their strength of what

299
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 3: their personnel is on her on her team, you know

300
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 3: what I mean. And some strength might be post player,

301
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 3: pick and pop, shoot threes, but teams need to play

302
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 3: to their strength of their personnel.

303
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 2: Now a couple uh, a couple of seasons ago. Uh,

304
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 2: the new the new face down there in Memphis. Jam

305
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 2: ran into some troubles away from the court. Did you ever,

306
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 2: did you get the opportunity to kind of like tap

307
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 2: in with him and reach and reach out to him

308
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 2: and kind of put your m around him and got

309
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 2: him a little bit?

310
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 3: Oh for sure. You know that's a little bro. He

311
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 3: family man. Him, his dad's to his sister's mother. You know,

312
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 3: that's family. You know, myth is a small community and

00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 3: one of them, was one of the guys get bullied though.

410
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 2: No, that's a fact. That's a fact he was. DeMarcus

411
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 2: Cousins was one of the guys too. You know when

412
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 2: they when they talk about the Big Man and you

413
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 2: know the Yolks and the z bos. Before his injuries,

414
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 2: you know, DeMarcus Cousins was one of the most electrifying

415
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 2: big men to watch. I mean, he he was a

416
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 2: revolutionized the position too, for his his window that he

417
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 2: had held run the floor, he could pass, he could shoot,

418
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 2: he could dribble, he could post up. How how was

419
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,959
Speaker 2: it watching his development against him being your little bro?

420
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 3: How was that for you? Man? Watching him? Watching Boogie

421
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 3: was was great because like I said, he's like what

422
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 3: you just said, He's one of the guys that revolution

423
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 3: revolute power center. He can shoot the ball. He was big.

424
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 3: Every time I played against Booge, I had to get

425
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 3: my rest that night because I knew it was gonna

426
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 3: be a dog fight and so definitely so but like

427
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 3: you said, look brought the way he plays a game.

428
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 3: Like you said, I think he definitely should have played

429
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 3: longer than he did. Uh. But you know, it's a

430
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 3: lot of politics in the game too. But he's definitely

431
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 3: one of the best ever to play in the game. Still,

432
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 3: even though with his career, had for me because I

433
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 3: know Boogie he can shoot the ball, he can handle it,

434
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 3: and he's seven feet and he likes contact.

435
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 4: He gives you that.

436
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 3: He hits you first. He liked me. He's a hit

437
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 3: type first guy. Yeah, so and but definitely and and

438
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 3: I feel like, you know, I feel like guys like

439
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 3: me and Boogie we don't get our duke. You know,

440
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 3: we kind of rough around the edges and you know,

441
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,719
Speaker 3: we kind of you know, don't get get the respect

442
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 3: or get to do what we need to do. But

443
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 3: Boogies want the best to ever do it.

444
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 2: You you played on the at Michigan State un the

445
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 2: legendary coach Tom Izzo. Uh, what do you feel about one?

446
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 2: N I L And to the transfer portal? How do

447
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: you how do you feel about those two things?

448
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 3: Man? N I L. I feel like that's a great thing.

449
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 3: A lot of these kids ain't gonna ever have a

450
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 3: chance to make that much money in their career or

451
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 3: in their college life or even after their their career

452
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,239
Speaker 3: planning sports. So I feel like that's a great thing

453
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 3: for him. But I think we need to put a

454
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 3: cap on it somewhere. We need to start making it

455
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 3: like a like contracts kind of how like the NBA

456
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 3: is like, you know, you need to put it stipulations,

457
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. I think that's where it's going.

458
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 3: I think eventually it's gonna have rules and stipulations, you know,

459
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 3: like a cap or something with this nil because you

460
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 3: know every year, you know, the team's no more cinder

461
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 3: of the teams. There's no more teams building up from

462
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 3: you know, to be able to have a good teams.

463
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,719
Speaker 3: It's like the money. You know, how much money you got,

464
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 3: that's how I go. So if you got some money,

465
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 3: that university got some money, you gonna have a good team.

466
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 3: And I think, you know, it's kind of hurting the game.

467
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 3: It's definitely hurting younger players because it's it's definitely a

468
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 3: lot of high school players don't get scholarships no more.

469
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 3: There's a lot of a lot of a lot of players,

470
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 3: young younger players just missing out because of the older

471
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 3: guys in the transportal. And you know, you can be

472
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 3: a certain age now. So I think it needed to

473
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 3: get looked at it again and put some put some

474
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 3: stipulations on it.

475
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: Do you think that'll keep the players in college longer

476
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: rather than one and done and going right to the league.

477
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 3: Well, I feel like the players just want and done,

478
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 3: Like I was the one and done player. Them players

479
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 3: stand alone because Cooper flags the Queens, the Ace, Bailey's

480
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 3: and the Harper's dealing them guys stand alone. So nephew

481
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 3: Jason Richardson. So some guys I think them the top

482
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 3: players they stand alone. But like for everybody else, you

483
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 3: know what I mean, Yeah, that's not a first round

484
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 3: pick or you know they they own a teeter of

485
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 3: could be in the NBA or going overseas.

486
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 2: Now, when you was out here, z Bow with the Knicks,

487
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 2: y'all had a great looking at that roster. Man, I

488
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 2: just don't I don't. I don't understand how y'all didn't

489
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 2: have more success. Y'all had some dogs on that roster.

490
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 4: It was hopeful. When what what do you think went wrong?

491
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 2: Now with with the talent y'all had that made that

492
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 2: may have been one of the most talented Nicks rosters.

493
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 3: Man, you know what it was, bro if the first

494
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 3: year I got there, I got think I got there

495
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 3: for the beginning of this season. I got traded the

496
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 3: next season during the deadline. That the next season when

497
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 3: we was off and running, I think we have it

498
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 3: was nine and two or eight, I mean we was above.

499
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 3: It was like four or five games the boy five hundred,

500
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 3: so we were starting to take off and then you

501
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 3: know the big Lebron dilemma. You know, I mean, they

502
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 3: thought Lebron was gonna come to New York and they

503
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 3: had a chance, and they got rid of all of us,

504
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 3: They got rid of me, mall. They trade, all trade

505
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 3: all the guys, and I felt that was the team.

506
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 3: They're right there, That team was right there, was gonna

507
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 3: be able to compete and we off, we was off

508
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 3: to a great start, and bull them all of a sudden,

509
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 3: everybody got traded.

510
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: Playing in a couple of organizations. Do you think James

511
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: Dolan mismanages the entire next organization?

512
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 3: I definitely do. I like mister Dolan, but I think,

513
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 3: you know, and I think that's what he's doing now city.

514
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 3: I think he's kind of understanding that because he got

515
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 3: he brought great people in, he got wet. Yeah, I

516
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 3: think Leon Ro you got you got the great guys

517
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 3: that's coming in. So I think now that you know,

518
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 3: it's different than when I was there, you know, because

519
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 3: I heard all the talk Dolan needs, Dolan's just Dolan's that.

520
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 3: But for me, I met Thlan a few times and

521
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 3: you know, he had brought me to the Knicks, and

522
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 3: you know, I ain't got nothing but respect for him.

523
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 3: But I think he's starting to understand now that let

524
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 3: other people, you know, take over him, you know, maybe him,

525
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 3: maybe I step back a little bit. Let these guys

526
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 3: run the show. So I think that's what's going on.

527
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 4: Now, what was it different?

528
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 3: New York? New York's to Mecca, bro I mean ship

529
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 3: that's to Mecca. But you know, Nick's got a lot

530
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 3: of history.

531
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 2: But Dolan, I think I think Dolan's thing was because

532
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 2: you know you you played in the Guarden. It's sold

533
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 2: out every night, no matter who's on the roster. It's

534
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 2: in the middle of Manhattan. So I don't think that, Yeah, Dolan,

535
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 2: don't He don't really have a Like, it's not broke.

536
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 2: The brand sells itself and no matter who I have

537
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 2: on his team, who's coaching, every game is.

538
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 4: Gonna be sold out.

539
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 2: But that fosta that while you were here looking back,

540
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 2: I'm like, I just don't understand how this team didn't, like,

541
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Like one of the greatest

542
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 2: powerfowlds ever, the greatest sixth man ever, one of the

543
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 2: greatest point guards ever, all of these got David Lee,

544
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 2: like all of these guys, and I'm just like, how

545
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 2: the fuck did they not keep this call?

546
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 4: Together and at least get to the finals.

547
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 3: I didn't understand that, man, I really didn't, because, you know,

548
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 3: like I said, the squad that they had and started

549
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 3: that we had when I was there that short period

550
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 3: of time, we had a squad bro and we all

551
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 3: got along and we all believed like that. That year

552
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 3: we got traded, we was like, oh yeah, we about

553
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 3: to loook. They ass okay, oh yeah, come.

554
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 4: On, like yeah it was you could see it.

555
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

556
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: What was the difference like playing in New York as

557
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: opposed to Portland, Memphis, et cetera.

558
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 3: Man, Like you said this to America, just been in

559
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 3: New York. It's just the lights and the glass, the

560
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 3: camera to action, man, you know what I mean. Don't

561
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 3: get no bigger than New York City, you know what

562
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 3: I mean. Portland was great because it was, like you said,

563
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 3: it was crowding, sold out, you know, most every night

564
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 3: in Portland. So the fans was great there too, But

565
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 3: that New York just got a different different bud, differ energy. Man.

566
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 3: It's just different than New York. Just different. Man.

567
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 5: What celebrity court side made you play a little bit

568
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 5: harder that game?

569
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 3: Good question?

570
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,959
Speaker 5: Yeah it, Tayler.

571
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 3: You know you know what, Holly Berry.

572
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,719
Speaker 4: Okay, that the way you up?

573
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, very term. Yeah it was man to okay.

574
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, remember your stats from that night, man, you know my.

575
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 3: Stats in New York was good. I have plenty plenty two.

576
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 3: I think that game probably twenty and fifteen game.

577
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, a very night period.

578
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 3: So but you know, every night, every home game New

579
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 3: York turned up. It's start study, you know what I mean?

580
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 3: She it was like damn, damn, you know what I mean? Yeah?

581
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 2: How has it been? Because you you have a you

582
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 2: have a personality. I think a lot of people know that.

583
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 2: You know, obviously your personality is big as big as

584
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 2: your game. But how has it been transitioned into the pod?

585
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 2: Like doing podcasts with you and Ta, y'all get to

586
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 2: sit around, talk shit, talk, tell some stories and from

587
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 2: two players who were very very aggressive on the court

588
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 2: now get to sit down and talk to guys that

589
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 2: you played against, relive some of the battles and some

590
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 2: of the moments.

591
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 4: You add, how has podcasting been for y'all?

592
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,520

593
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 3: getting a lot of feedback from from our peers, from

Speaker 3: you know, from Matt and from stack Jack, you know, guys.

Speaker 3: Then we talked to Gil and d Mons and the

596
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 3: guys is in the space, which I think every one

597
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 3: of the guys should be in the space. From Draymond Draymond,

598
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 3: like Draymond Barron, all them guys, them guys in motivation.

599
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 3: So for us we rough around the edges, you know

838
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, when I first got drafted, they ended up changing,

839
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 3: but it was seven, so I think we had I

840
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 3: think Greg Anthony had got traded. They hear or somebody

841
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 3: had their fifty, probably Greg Anthony, Greg Anthony or Brian

842
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 3: uh I forgot last name, but he was a big

843
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 3: So then that's when I got that fifty back.

844
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, zebo.

845
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 2: You ever thought about getting into coaching, like on a

846
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 2: real level, like at the league level.

847
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 3: You know, I always think about it, and the guys

848
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 3: always tell me I should, just to you know, get

849
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 3: that knowledge I got helped the bigs in it in

850
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 3: my game and getting knowledge of the game that I

851
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 3: know that to help help. So I'll be thinking about it,

852
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 3: I really do. But you know, I know the coaching

853
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 3: is a lot I enjoyed. You know, my kids, my

854
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 3: daughter she got games at college. I like going to

855
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 3: her games. Uh. You know, my son got an eleven

856
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 3: year old and fifteen year old daughter. Seven. They be busy,

857
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 3: so like I like to be, you know, go watch

858
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 3: them play and joyce like coaching. I don't know, but

859
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 3: I thought about it, but I don't know, maybe you

860
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 3: know what I mean, in the future, but not right now.

861
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 2: Yes, we just saw last what maybe maybe two weeks

862
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 2: ago now the Nuggets fired coach Malone out of it

863
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 2: would seem like nowhere to us, Like we didn't have no,

864
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 2: no knowledge of that as somebody that you know obviously

865
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 2: played at the highest level. How how surprising were you

866
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 2: of the news of of them firing a coach that

867
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 2: I just come fresh off a championship two years ago

868
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 2: and you know his team is still one of the

869
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 2: best teams in the league. How surprised were you at

870
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 2: that at the firing.

871
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 3: I definitely was surprised. Coach Malone is a great coach.

872
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know what you know, what was

873
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 3: going on in term or you know what they got

874
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 3: from the outside looking in the coaches players respect and

875
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 3: even on that Coach Malone was a loyal coach. You know,

876
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,959
Speaker 3: he led different Nuggets and he did whatever he could

877
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 3: excuse me too for their team to be successful. And

878
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 3: he gave his heart and he gave it all. So

879
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, you know, coaches just

880
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 3: coaches get fired, players get traded, you know what I mean.

881
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 3: So it all comes hand in hand. But I could

882
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 3: take one thing about coach Malone's great coach, great guy,

883
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 3: and uh, he's gonna go to war for you. He's

884
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 3: gonna go back for his players.

885
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 2: Now you obviously, I think it's safe to say this.

886
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 2: They had to run that biokics before they did that. Like,

887
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 2: I don't think they can make that move without consulting.

888
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 3: Because to get tricky. Man should get tricky when it

889
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 3: comes to that. You know, these guys, these owners, they

890
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 3: don't you know, some of them do. Some of them don't,

891
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. So I don't know and

892
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 3: get tricky because you got some owners you know, they

893
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 3: like ship this is our team. We run it, you know,

894
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 3: like they don't tell players when they getting traded and

895
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,879
Speaker 3: trade you. So it's kind of like hand in hand.

896
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 3: So I don't know if they tell Yoka Chad, you know,

897
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 3: they could have.

898
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 2: I think he came out and said that they you know,

899
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 2: they they spoke to him, though. I guess right before

900
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 2: they was about to fire him, they told him why

901
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 2: they were doing it, but he said, basically, he had

902
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 2: no he had no calling it.

903
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 4: I don't know if I believe that.

904
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 2: I believe Jokich is the is, He's the he is

905
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 2: the franchise, and I think that they have to run

906
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 2: everything through him. I'm not saying it was a personal

907
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,879
Speaker 2: thing between Yo kitchen coach. I'm not gonna go that route,

908
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 2: but I do think that he had to he had

909
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 2: to know something. I think that it was more surprising

910
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 2: for Luca to get traded this was for coach Malone

911
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 2: to get fired from dev I think the Luca trade

912
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 2: was absolutely I don't I think nobody, you know, I

913
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 2: don't think Luca didn't even know about that, But I

914
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 2: think that I think that I think that Jokis definitely

915
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 2: knew about coach Malone being let go before they obviously

916
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 2: did it. What did you think about the uh, the

917
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 2: Luca trade?

918
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 3: You know, it was surprising when I heard it, but

919
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 3: I'm like, you know, what the hell? You know what

920
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 3: I mean, It's just like everybody else was and uh,

921
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 3: you know, Coach Nico, that's my man. Too, you know

922
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 3: what I mean. Like I said, De Coosina vision too.

923
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,839
Speaker 3: You know what I mean that you know he's saw

924
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 3: and the owners or whoever above him saw and they

925
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 3: went with the move. Like I said, this just the NBA. Man,

926
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 3: anything can happen, you know what I mean. Shit, you know,

927
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 3: some of the best go to different teams. So, like

928
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,680
