68
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: Tombs is the jail selling in Lower Manhattan where they

69
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,360

00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: all this ship about Carmelo this and Dole in this

72
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: and Phil Jackson this and and I was thinking, you

00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: know what, Gee, I'm gonna keep it. I'm gonna keep

74
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,080

75
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: I like him as a player. I've always liked him.

76
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: But he's not the he's not the answer for the Knicks.

77
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: He's been under siege with the Nick and it's not

78
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: necessarily his fault. And then these people are trying to say, oh, oh,

79
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: Phil Jackson, He's not this, he's not that. And I

80
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: was thinking about this with Phil Jackson, Moody. Phil Jackson

81
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: knows more about basketball than almost any living person. Phil

82
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: Jackson has played with, played with, played against, battled in

83
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:34,960

86
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: the original Big Three before Kareem was Kareem. Phil Jackson

Speaker 1: his thigh to go out there and play in Game seven.

111
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: When you talk about playing hard, you talk about determination,

112
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: you talk about work ethic. These fucking guys during that era,

132
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: it right. With the tweets against Carmelo. I think it's bullshit.

133
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: I think it's total bullshit. Yeah, just come right out,

134

Speaker 1: man and just trade him yeah, just come right out.

135
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: But if he's feeling something, you know, this is the

136
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: second guy, George Carl, And I don't agree with what

137
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: he did in his book, shipping on Kenyan Mortin, shipping

138
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: on other players publicly, you know, and all this personal ship.

139
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 1: But if if, if, if, George Carl, Phil Jackson, these

140
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: are basketball minds. These are guys that the the the

141
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: the the basketball is is just it's their lie. It's

142
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: just they're fucking it's in their blood. Not that it's

143
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: not in Carmelo, in the players, but but experience. Think

144
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: about experience and relationships. If they if they're saying Carmelo

145
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: Anthony is not that dude, you have to believe it.

146
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: And and the proof is in the fucking pudding. The

147
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: best that he's done is take that Denver Nuggets team

148
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: to the Western Conference Finals. I know the coaching situation

149
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: has been fucked up in New York. It's been fucked up.

150
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: And he said five coaches, five different systems, five different

151
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: ways shoot arounds and practices are in It's it's bullshit.

152
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, that Genesee quad,

153
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: that that charisma, that it factor on the court as

154
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: a winner, as a champion. The only time Carmelo exuded

155
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: it was at Syracuse, and he should have been at

156
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: the in the NBA. He should have went straight from

157
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: high school to the NBA. It's a fucking ship show

158
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: in New York. Man. They arrested Charles Oakley. People are

159
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: shipping on Phil Jackson. People are shipping on Carmelo. People.

160
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: There's a civil war. You're either on team Carmelo or

161
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: team Phil Jackson. And fucking James Dolan, the owner of

162
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: the Knicks, the son of a billionaire, has a blues band.

163
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 1: James Dolan has a fucking blues band. Yeah, you got

164
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: a lot of problems. It's I'm over it. I'm sucking done.

165
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what what more to do. It's an embarrassment.

166
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: New York City is the mecca of basketball. Yes, motherfucker.

167
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: New York City is still an old ways will be

168
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: the mecca of basketball before the NBA. Some people, I'll

169
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: fuck it, tell you, and then I want to let

170
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: you hear because I think I just busted a blood

171
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 1: vessel with that with that rant. Before the NBA was

172
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: a thing, the n c a A was big business.

173
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: Where did the big n c a A tournaments take

174
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: place at Old Madison Square Garden. Yes, in the sixties,

175
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: the NBA was dominated by the Lakers and even more

176
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: so by Boston. The only people that cared about the

177
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: NBA were Boston Celtics fans and Laker fans. There were

178
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: eight fucking teams and then there was twelve teams. The

179
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: Knicks put the NBA on the map to turn it

180
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: into an entertainment league, all right. When the Nicks started winning,

181
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: it became must see ticket in New York City. If

182
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: you could make it here, you can make it anywhere.

183
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: That's a fucking fact. That's when the celebrities came out.

184
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: The celebrities weren't even coming out to see the Los

185
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: Angeles Lakers in the sixties seventy That team, when they

186
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: had the team that exuded, that exemplified New York. Dave

187
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: the Busher, Dick Barnett, Earl the Pearl, Monroe came in seventy,

188
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 1: Walt Clyde, Fraser, Bill Bradley, Kazie Russell, and so on

189
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: and so on and so on. It exemplified New York.

190
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: And they started winning. They were coached by a fucking

191
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 1: New York City jew, Red Holzman. It exemplified everything, the fabric,

192
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: the core of New York City. That's when Bill Cosby

193
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: Barber strives in and all of them. I talked about this,

194
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: and when the Garden was eating and when that team

195
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: won the NBA basketball players became stars like they had

196
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: never become before. All right, and and and on top

197
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: of that, just the players that we've put out the list,

198
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: you know you know who they are, fucking Kareem Abdul Jabbar,

199
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: Bernard King, Bob Couzy. New York and the fabric of

200
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: New York, The architectural fabric of New York is built

201

Speaker 1: they gave you your sloppy bologny with the thick ass cheese.

271
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: And this is when the quote that lives in in

272
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: for me said. The guy said to you and he

273
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: called you duke. He said, because duke, we say duke now,

274
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: but at the time, Duke was like man. In New

275
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: York City, especially in Brooklyn, Duke was like what's up?

276
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: It was what up? Son? What up? Duke? It was

277
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: just like kind of like saying, what up, man, What up? Dude?

278
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: So he said, yo, do you He said to you

279
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: while G. Moody was eating his bolow and he trying

280
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: to do his Sean Pinscher to intimidate the guy. You said,

281
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: he said to you, Ao, Duke, you get hyped. That's

282
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: what he said to G. Moody. And you had never

283
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: heard that term. I've never heard it since. And you said,

284
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 1: I don't get hyped, but I don't like No. You said,

285
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: what did you say? Give your quote? It's a fantastic quote.

286
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: I said, I get hyped, but I don't like hurting

287
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: black people. There it is right there. I get hype,

288
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: but I don't like hurting black people, and and and

289
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: there's a calmness about G. Moody. If you never met him,

290
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: you you could tell right here he G Moody has

291
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: been dealing with me since nine two. He's never been

292
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: rattled by me. There's a certain calmness that the Moodies have.

293
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: Dean Moody. His brother has it. Bah Bah Moody. She

294
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: has it. His sister, Kimberly Moody, she has it. They

295
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: have a certain calmness. Otherwise I don't think we we

296
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: we were you, you probably would have kicked me to

297
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: the curb long time ago doesn't get rattled by much.

298
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: And the guy could probably like your calmnists, probably freaked

299
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: him out and then he went to go funk with

300
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: somebody else. But that's where the term you get hype

301
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 1: came from. When he got arrested. And what was no

302
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: eighties something? I don't know, No, no eighties. I was
