Speaker 3: Or was the music? No?

64
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,320

65
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: When I was younger, younger, but because my parents, you know,

66
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: they forced me to play baseball. But I played basketball

67
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: all my life since I was a kid. You know,

68
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,919

140
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: back then, no internet. You know, a scout wanted to

141
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: see you, he had to fly to Puerto Rico and

142
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: go and take the random car and go and get

143
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: into you know, in the trenches and go find you

144
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: and you know, playing somewhere.

145
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 5: It's not like nowadays.

146
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: And then Puerto Rico, we didn't have great facilities like that,

147
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it was either you

148
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: heard about someone and you go meet their family and

149
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: talk to them and you know, maybe you can catch

150
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: you know, one of those club teams that I was

151
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: playing for.

152
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 3: Uh.

153
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,760

157
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: sense to me. You know, coming to a place where

158
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: you know, the language language barrier wasn't going to be

159
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, uh, difficult for me. And I was close

160
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: to home. My family could come and visit anytime they

161
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: wanted to. It was a small program that was, you know,

162
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: growing with him and his vision and and I loved it.

163
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: And I was gonna play from the beginning, you know

164
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So at that time, all you want

165
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: to do is, you know, go find a situation where

166
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: you're going to be comfortable and you're going to be

167
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: able to play. So uh, you know, I thank him

168
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: a lot. Those were my beginnings, you know, of everything

169
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: that I accomplim.

170
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: Now, I know you being humble, but I know I

171
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 2: played high school ball with somebody to know. You're Tony.

172
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 2: You being humbled, but you you're the man back home

173
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: being a little humble. But those is the man back

174
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 2: home with in Puerto Rico. He's being humble right now,

175
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 2: and I appreciate his humility. Guys, learn something. But he

176
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 2: the man back home.

177
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 3: When we played in Miami, he had all the sauce

178
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 3: and the place went crazy.

179
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 4: Oh he do it big.

180
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 2: Now, where did you get the flash from the way

181
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: you play the game of basketball? Because, like you said,

182
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: back then, they didn't have the internet. You know what

183
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: I'm saying. So I don't know if he was watching

184
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 2: much NBA, But where you get.

185
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: The sy with my dad?

186
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 4: My dad held up before you answer that, though.

187
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 3: There was a rumor that I heard the day that

188
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 3: they say, you play forty seven minutes for the team,

189
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 3: in one minute for the crowd, for the fans.

190
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: No, that was.

191
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 3: Carolyn.

192
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 4: I should have said that when I played.

193
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 5: That was Carol Lenko told that to Jerry Slum, touching that.

194
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 1: But I want to hear about that stuff though, Damn,

195
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: you call me off.

196
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 3: He was talking about you play you had?

197
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: Where you get the star flash?

198
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: Man? My father was a big fan of the Pistons

199
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: growing up, and we used to watch the games. I

200
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: used to watch Magic and you know, Isaiah, you know

201
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: growing up, so I was glued to the TV when

202
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, growing up watching those those teams playing Puerto Rico.

203
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 5: You know, It's funny.

204
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: When I first got to the league, when I was

205
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: with when I was in Toronto, my first year was Toronto.

206
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: I got in the game like you know, garbage time whatever.

207
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: And I remember playing against Bounzie Wells and yeah, and

208
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 1: I was at half half court. We were shooting the

209
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: free throw and he and I was. I had some

210
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: runs that I was doing on between the least. I

211
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: had some you know, look away past something like that,

212
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: and and he he got close to me and say,

213
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: where are you from? You know, fell Porto Rico. You

214
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: got that sound saying your game, and I'm never gonna forget.

215
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I got sod saying my game.

216
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: You know, but I guess I played with that kind

217
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: of rhythm.

218
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 2: You know.

219
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: I love, you know, passing the ball. I enjoyed like

220
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: the look away and just to bet on my teammates.

221
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: I enjoyed that, you know what I'm saying more than scoring.

222
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: And growing up, I was always like, you know, try

223
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: to do the flashy passes and things like that. I

224
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: remember when I got to Detroit, Larry Brown he was

225
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: trying to, you know, kind of like take that away

226
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: from my game. You know, make the solid play. You

227
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: don't have to make the you know, make the hockey assist.

228
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: I learned the hockey assist when I was here in

229
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 1: Miami with coach What was that? No assistant? Coach here

230
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: assistant if I no Miami, you forgot damn.

231
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 2: For Keith asking, is it Dan David Damn?

232
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: He does TV? Yes, Rusting, I'm sorry, Rustling, I forgot.

233
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: But I remember I learned the hockey assist.

234
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 5: That term with that.

235
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 4: He did use that term.

236
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: You know.

237
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: He used to be like, you know, the hockey assist.

238
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: You do not necessarily have to make that time, you know,

239
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: just make the hockey assist. But I enjoyed, I enjoy passing.

240
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: I enjoyed just playing the flash away, you know, because

241
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: I was a kid.

242
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 5: Since I was a kid, my dad used to hate it.

243
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: I was just gonna ask you where you have a

244
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 2: discouraged But I know you said Larry Brown said the past.

245
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 2: But was there ever a coach that tried to break

246
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 2: that and try to discourage that?

247
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and now you know that I see the game

248
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: from different perspective, right, you want guys to play the

249
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: right way, you know what I'm saying. I think playing

250
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: two careless at times it could cost you games and

251
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: possessions and things like that. But you don't see that until,

252
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: like you're on the other side but and you know,

253
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: coaches try to make you, you know, play a certain way,

254
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: you know, play solid, you know, protect, take care of

255
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: the ball and you know, run the team. And uh

256
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 1: but I love passing the ball. And when we were

257
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: in YouTube, I remember you know that, you know, you

258
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,079

259
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 5: He loved passing.

260
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: And I remember in locker room after that one game,

261
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,360

Speaker 1: tired of your you know, turnovers, you know, just being

263
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: too careless with the ball. And he told them, coach,

264
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: I played forty seven minutes for you. I played one

265
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:45,640

311
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 2: for family food and let's be honest, a little extra chaos.

312
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,800

315
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 2: go as planned, like a holiday mishap that leaves you

316
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 2: seriously hurt, your injury could be worth millions. And that's

349
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean, to be honest with you, I

350
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: thought I was going to get picked by Miami or

351
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: Indiana second round. I just wanted to get picked. My

352
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: dream was to get picked, you know, hear my name called,

353
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: and that would have been great for not only myself,

354
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: but you know, back home with people in pr and

355
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: for me to set the bar for the next generation

356
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: and things like that. I always thought it like that,

357
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: you know. But you know I was disappointed. But I

358
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: mean you deal with it and then you find a

359
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: situation where I can fit, you know. And but I

360
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: mean it made me who I am to that, I guess,

361
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: you know. I pushed myself and I I've always been

362
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: kind of like the underdog on this side of the world,

363
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: you know, in the league. I've always felt like that,

364
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: even when I had my contract, you know, I've always

365
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: felt like I had to prove myself every day.

366
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 5: I never felt secure.

367
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: You know.

368
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 5: It was different when I played FEBA.

369
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: I felt more comfortable, you know, playing for your country

370
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: is different.

371
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 5: But I felt like I could play my.

372
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: Game, you know, and I didn't have to worry about

373
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: decision making or how do I approach the game and

374
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: things like that. That's why more as a business. So uh,

375
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: but I mean it helped my helped my game, you know,

376
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: it helped me and.

377
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 5: I got better.

378
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: I saw, you know, just playing FEBA and then going

379
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: to NBA format every year. It allowed me to grow

380
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: and see the game differently. And I appreciate every aspect

381
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: of my career and everything I went through, you know

382
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So now I can see it like that.

383
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: When I was involved and I was in the middle

384
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: of everything, I was frustrated, you know, and you try

385
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: to deal with it and and you move forward and look,

386
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: you know, look forward to different situations and opportunities.

387
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

388
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 2: Well, don't don't get it wrong home at home people,

389
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 2: it was it was a healthy frustration because I had

390
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 2: the same frustration. But it's it's a healthy frustration that

391
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 2: drives you to push yourself to another level, you know

392
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. It's two ways you can look at that,

393
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 2: you know, and it's a it's a it's very emotional

394
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 2: because although you're disappointed. You're agent on the phone with

395
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 2: you right now telling you the opportunities and the camps

396
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 2: and the teams that you might have a chance to

397
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 2: make these teams. So you really don't have much time

398
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 2: to feel sorry for yourself. In that process.

399
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 3: You to how many how much time you give yourself,

400
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 3: you d shit.

401
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 2: I gave myself forty eight hours. Man had a box

402
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 2: of a box of black and Miles and the bottle

403
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 2: of Hennessy. Got that ship up out of my sister

404
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 2: I gave. I had my two day pity party. Guy,

405
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 2: it was time to go to work. Yeah, it was

406
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: time to go to work. Bro, I can't. I mean

407
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 2: what I'm gonna do next? Yeah, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,

408
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 2: I went to this basket. I went to college for basketball.

409
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 2: I said what I'm saying. Of course I'm gonna take

410
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 2: classes and I would love to get my degree. But

411
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 2: you know how many people I know now got their

412
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 2: degree working at the mall. That shit makes no sense

413
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 2: to me. Great students sitting next to me, I wanted

414
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 2: to cheat off their paper, and I see.

415
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 4: Him working at the mall. I'm like, how the fuck

416
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 4: like you?

417
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 2: Like?

418
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying that shit.

419
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 2: So once I learned how to world work, I was

420
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 2: about to go back to school, and they tricked me

421
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: to think I need my degree, and I learned how

422
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 2: to world work, and I was like.

423
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 1: Ah, no, that's real.

424
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 4: That's yeah.

425
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 2: Because you're gonna get a job to the son of

426
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 2: the person who you grew up with. You're not gonna

427
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 2: give it to me, no matter how qualified I am.

428
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 2: I see how y'all operate out here. I'm not dealing

429
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 2: with that shit. So I changed my mind about going

430
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 2: back to school. But guess what, a lot of people

431
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 2: that work for me got degrees, put great people around you.

432
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 2: I'm smart enough to know that shit.

433
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely. I mean I had all my ex and

434
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: one basket and that was basketball.

435
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 2: You know.

436
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: I came to the States with you know, one thing

437
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: in mind. That was to make it to the NBA.

438
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: So if I failed like that, what's playing b We'll

439
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: re group.

440
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 3: Come coming coming to the States. We didn't even talk

441
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 3: about that. You came to the States that you went

442
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,560

464
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: to play college and stuff. You know, like I told you,

465
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: there was no internet or nothing.

466
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,239
Speaker 3: We were at the same time, we understand it.

467
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,879

468
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: want to leave, I'll go anywhere. So he found this

469
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: place we went to visit. It was a small like town.

470
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,600

471
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: My brother said, no, I'm coming back. I don't like it,

00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 2: in the gym than he did in class.

495
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 4: I don't know who charged.

496
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 2: I don't know who charged this ship, but I guarantee

497
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 2: he spent more time in the gym than he did

498
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 2: in the fucking classroom, I promise you now.

499
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 4: Me, on the other hand, I don't know why I

00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 4: was in class because.

00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 3: at the same time. Coach Donovan calls his office. It's

506
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 3: like probably three weeks before the season is about to start,

Speaker 3: go back to your stuff though, so utah, Yeah, and

537
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 3: like be like Bonzi said, you had the saucer in

538
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 3: your game playing with Jerry Sloan and then Johnson doctor.

539
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 3: Non players ever talk about like how the learning the

540
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 3: learning curve there was that and how you Because I

541
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 3: don't care who you are as a basketball player. I

542
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 3: seen it with Jay. When coaches try to it screwed.

543
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 3: It screws up you mentally, and that's not how.

544
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 2: You play like back in the day, you have to,

545
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 2: I mean, but John did.

546
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: John for sure, did you know. I mean, you know

547
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: who you're playing for, you know, so you know, I

548
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: wasn't trying and then it was a great opportunity for me.

549
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: So I wasn't trying to go out there and messing

550
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 1: it up right away. I was trying to, you know,

551
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: gain some groundwork and you know, gain the coaches respect

552
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: before I can make a behind the back pass, you know. So,

553
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: But and then John, John was great. But John wasn't

554
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: the type of guy that would, you know, take the

555
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 1: rookies and come here, let me teach you how to

556
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: literally roll and things like that. Like that was never

557
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 1: my relationship with John. But I learned a lot from

558
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: from watching him, you know what I'm saying. His approach

559
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: to the game and his decision making and things like that.

560
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 5: And he was always to himself. You know, if you

561
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 5: if we were.

562
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: In the locker room, like joking around before the game,

563
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: he would get up and leave. He was always stretching.

564
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,239
Speaker 1: He will get up and leave. Carl was different, you know.

565
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: I had a great reliption with Carl to his day. Yeah,

566
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: and then I had Mark Jackson too. It was Mark

567
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: Jackson to those you know, leaders in the history of

568
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: the game. So I was my first year, it was

569
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: like learning learning process, just watching them, you know what

570
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And then I had Jerry on top of that.

571
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: So and then my second year that's when I played.

572
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: That's when I started.

573
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 2: If you can map that ship out coming in as

574
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 2: a rookie being John Stock then Mark Jackson as your

575
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 2: point guard. Yeah, like that shit is crazy. But I

576
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 2: know when you had the chance in practice, you try

577
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: to go out.

578
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

579
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: Man, I had to, you know, I had to, and

580
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: they would get mad at me because in shoot rounds

581
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: we would take the shoot arounds and then I would

582
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: go hard. I was I'm trying to you know, we

583
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 1: don't practice on the team, you know, you hardly practice,

584
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: So every chance I got, I had to show that

585
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 1: I you know, I'm hungry to earn minutes, and uh,

586
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: they would get mad at me, what are you going

587
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 1: so hard?

588
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 5: And uh, but it is what it is, you know.

589
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: I went through that, through that there, and then I

590
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: had another situation like that in Detroit where we don't practice.

591
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: We had OG's two and guys were tired playing a

592
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: lot of minutes and the only chance I got was,

593
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: you know, to go at them and practice, you know

594
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 1: the times we practice. But you got to stay ready somehow.

595
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: You know, you got to stay ready somehow. I don't

596
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: know how it is in today's NBA, but I mean,

597
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: you know, like he was saying something like that, you know,

598
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: you play three on threes after practice, and you know

599
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: you just stay in shape. And but there's guys that

600
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: don't do don't do that, you know, they didn't want it,

601
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: like JJ Reddick was he was when he was a

602
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: rookie in Orlando with US. We try to get him

603
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: to play three on threes and ones and two's and

604
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: and he wasn't. No, I don't do that, you know,

605
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: I do other things. So but I love playing. The

606
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: year I signed with Miami, I came back from Europe

607
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: and I was a free agent that summer looking for

608
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,600

Speaker 1: playing pick up. Like we were playing three on three.

611
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 1: It was like ten thirty eleven at night and we

612
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: were playing. I was playing some people there and my

613
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 1: phone rings, so you know, stop the game. I go

614
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,440

00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 4: After that game you talked to your ship.

641
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: I don't remember when. I don't remember I remember you talking.

Speaker 1: That's not me, that's not me. That's not me.

643
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 5: That's not me.

644
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: Especially with those guys. Those guys are like AI was cool, uh,

645
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: Marvy was cool like and they were I mean they

646
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: were embarrassed. You know what I'm saying, Like what that is?

647
00:27:58,640 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 4: What this is?

648
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 2: What you're doing right here? That seemed like the start

649
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 2: of some ship talking, like you get you getting ready

650
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 2: to say that Puerto Rico.

651
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: That's not ship talking. That's pride, bro, what the.

652
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 2: Start off about to crank up? But you got a

653
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 2: hell of a game that game as well. You you

654
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 2: had the hell of a game that game.

655
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: I was very fortunate than big old bag Yes Jerseys.

656
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 4: What they pull up? That was your ship right there?

657
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. Why they don't shoot uh range? In today's game,

658
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: everything is a three or or dunk.

659
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 2: They want they want paint points that they want threes,

660
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 2: and they feel like paint points translated the threes because

661
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 2: we should get in the paint a couple.

662
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 4: Of times in the second.

663
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 5: You gotta start now everyone can shoot threes.

664
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 4: So everybody think they can. Everybody think they can ship.

665
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 3: There has some.

666
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 4: About that.

667
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, anybody yesterday talked about yesterday.

668
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 3: Said, oh yeah, we talked about.

669
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 2: He blamed it on the coaching.

670
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 4: He blamed on the court.

671
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 2: Said the coaches ain't play the young guys. The courches,

672
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 2: the court is only want to play the old guys.

673
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 2: Courches only want to play the veterans. He I mean,

674
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 2: this is an ass whooping ninety two to seventy three.

675
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: Now, we got lucky. To be honest with you, we

676
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: got lucky. Them boys were young. Kobe wasn't there. Kobe

677
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: came out right after that. He said, that's enough. That's enough, guys.

678
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: Let you guys play. But they were young too, you know.

679
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: And we played them three times before this game closed doors.

680
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: Really yes, closed doors. Checked this out, played them three

681
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:46,479
Speaker 1: times closed doors. Lay Brown, our coaching staffed, asked, Larry,

682
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: how do you want to play? You want to sometimes

683
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: we play five quarters closed doors. He's like, oh, coach,

684
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: do whatever you want. Don't don't play zone, he said,

685
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: don't plays on on us. Just man to man. Our

686
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: coaching said, well, okay, that's what we're gonna.

687
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 3: Play when y'all play this. What y'all play zone.

688
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: We ain't gonna play man and man against these guys.

689
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: So we played like a little box in one. We

690
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: had a man in front of Timmy.

691
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 5: The whole game. Everything started with Timmy Duncan.

Speaker 1: vividly how many video sessions. I don't even remember. One

728
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: time a component was going at him in Philly and

729
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,840

731
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: out and d Wade didn't like it. But that's that's

732
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: that's what you know, I like about sports, you know

733
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: that the fact that he tells you how he sees it,

734
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: you know. And but the whole culture was amazing, man,

735

00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they don't call me out like that.

738
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: You remember when I should say this, I mean, you should,

739
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: uh d Wade and Bron used to wear like King

740
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: James stuff and Dwayne County and then uh Atkins came

741
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: and put like a slip, like a pink slip. Yeah,

742
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: it was macas you know. He you know, they got

743
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: this this rule when we travel, we got heat stuff

744
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: and they were in King James stuff and the Way

745
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,280

Speaker 4: They were thirty eight hot. Yeah, pistol.

748
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,719
Speaker 1: At that same moment, I think asking Atkins, what was

749
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: you know walking through the locker room. So I think

750
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: the way.

751
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 4: They got into it, we had to separate them.

752
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 2: They had to separate them, went back and down smoke

753
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 2: like that, and he he make a hundred man, it's

754
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 2: a thousand dollars five slip on his and he want

755
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 2: to fight.

756
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, you want to pop off by the thousand.

Speaker 1: That's was hilarious.

759
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 2: Thats why he coached for everybody, bro Like obviously you

760
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. Those guys were leaders on the team,

761
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 2: and you know, even going back and forth, they obviously

762
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 2: start wearing heat gear after that.

763
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 4: But some guys ain't with that ship no.

764
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 3: Matter like it made it packing easy for me was easy.

765
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 2: Usually use a sweatsuit guy, us a heat sweatsuit guy.

766
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: But that tells you, like he coach you. You know

767
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, It doesn't matter who you are, like,

768
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: you gotta follow suit, especially you you know, guys like them,

769
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: they got to lead by example. It starts with them.

770
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: And sometimes you don't see it. You know, you see

771
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: it when you're older, you know. And I don't know

772
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: how it is now, but you know, O g's are

773
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: always They're a must on tea, you know, especially why

774
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: do you think he lasts us all long? You know,

775
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: he was you know, holding the culture, you know, keeping

776
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: everything upload and making sure guys were aligned with how

777
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: you want to do things and philosophy. And that's how

778
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: it works, bro. I mean, and Pat has a quote

779
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: that he told us one time. You know, hard work

780
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: doesn't guarantee success, but you stand no chance without it.

781
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: And it's so true.

782
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 5: We might not win this one. Think we're going to

783
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 5: do it the.

784
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: Right way, you know, And and and I bring that

785
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: same mentality when it comes to national team. Now that

786
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm you know, general manager for the for the national

787
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: team of Puerto Rico, the Olympic team, and you know,

788
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: I love it, man, I'm so passionate about it. You know,

789
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with doing things the right way and making

790
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 1: sure guys, you know, because we have a lot of

791
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: guys that they were not born and racing Puerto Rico.

792
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: So when they come in, they got to learn the culture.

793
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 1: They gotta you know, you know, go out and eat

794
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: some rising beans that you're you know, local spot and

795
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: meet people and talk to people and and see how

796
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 1: we work, you know, and how the Federation deals with things,

797
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: and you know a lot you know, how we play,

798
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 1: you know, our style of play, you know, the sousa

799
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. You know, we have those guys

800
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: that are coming in and not knowing all those things,

801
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: so you try to teach them, you know, little by

802
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 1: little until they buy into everything that we're doing. And

803
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: we're being successful, thank god, you know.

804
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 2: So that's that's that's because we literally had Jorge Mosby

805
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 2: doll On and you know, he was talking about obviously

806
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 2: how he got his chance, but now he has a

807
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 2: gym where guys can come train, and he goes back

808
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 2: and provides you know, his resources and those things that

809
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 2: he had to go through. He can help those guys

810
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 2: through that process. So like, how did that come about

811
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 2: for you? Did you always want to go back and

812
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 2: help out or with somebody saying, look, we need you,

813
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 2: we can do this.

814
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 1: Like absolutely, you know when I was done playing, I

815
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: wanted to, you know, take a year or two and

816
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: you want to stay close to the game. You know,

817
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: that's all we know. But national team gave me so

818
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: much that I always wanted to go back and kind

819
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: of like get back, you know. And I think with

820
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: what I'm doing now, and you know, being that guy

821
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: that I can be a mentor, I can help the federation.

822
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: I can see them, you know, I can be the

823
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: bridge between the players and the federation and have a

824
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: better communication and how we do things and hurrying the

825
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: right coaching staff and just maintaining the culture is so

826
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: important for me with the national team because when I

827
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 1: was a kid, I was watching the Ogs you know,

828
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 1: play at the Olympics and you know carry the flag

829
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: and the World Cup and.

830
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 5: All those things, and that to me had an impact.

831
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: So you know, as I sit back, and you know,

832
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 1: I got to understand that, you know, I became that guy.

833
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.

834
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: I became that person, that player that you know, accomplished

835
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: all those things. So I'm the one that needs to be,

836
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 1: you know, leading the way for these young guys coming

837
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: in and the next generation. So to me, it is

838
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: a moment of pride, is an honor for me to

839
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: do it. It takes a lot of time, but just

840
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: having the credibility that I've earned from my years playing

841
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, and having those guys really respect

842
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: when where I'm coming from with the message it's it's

843
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,439
Speaker 1: it's my path is what I need to do right now.

844
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 5: And I appreciate it.

845
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 1: I love it. I love the confidence that the federation

846
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 1: has with me making decisions and and just connecting guys

847
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: and and doing everything possible so that we can reach

848
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: the Olympics like we just did in the World Cup.

849
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: That was amazing, just being going back, bro. I mean,

850
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: the last time that we played in the Olympics was

851
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: it Wash four, you know, and then twenty years later

852
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: it repeats itself. We made it at home, We did it,

853
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 1: you know, having Alvarado Tremont waters.

854
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if yeah, Bro, yes, good?

855
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 4: You know, I love I love Colorado.

856
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, I see myself a lot in

857
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: Alborado because he comes to the league and doesn't really

858
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 1: get an opportunity like he gets with us to really

859
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: showcase what he can do and his talent, and then

860
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: we provide that for him and other players as well.

861
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,399
Speaker 1: But you know, and then he comes to the NBA

862
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: has a different role. He gets frustrated because he doesn't

863
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: get maybe more minutes. And but I love seeing those stories, bro.

864
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,439
Speaker 2: And it's crazy that you say that because even though

865
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 2: we played the different positions and we're so different in statue,

866
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 2: he's one of the young guys who I kind of

867
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 2: relate to and through social media you can connect with

868
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 2: anybody now.

869
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 5: He loves when you talk to him. Yeah, talk to me.

870
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 2: I talked to him a couple of times on Instagram

871
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 2: through DM, you know what I'm saying. And we've only

872
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 2: met a couple of times in passing. But he's one

873
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 2: of those guys who I just got so much respect

874
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 2: for how he played the game every single night. Bro,

875
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 2: he leave it out there on the type of guy

876
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 2: so he don't save nothing, you know what I'm saying.

877
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 4: And from Afar, I admire that.

878
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,879
Speaker 1: He makes no excuses, Bro. He goes out there and

879
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 1: gets it. He understands that you know where he's at.

880
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: In the NBA nowadays, you don't see a lot of

881
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: those guys, you know what I'm saying. You know, you

882
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: don't see a lot of players like myself, like like

883
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 1: point guard first type players. You know, all those guys

884
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: like playing above the rim so athletics.

885
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 3: Speaking speaking of that, we're talking about it. Who are

886
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 3: your favorite point guards is to watch right now?

887
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: I mean I like Kyriere, I like Joah. I mean,

888
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: I like a bunch of guys I mean, but true

889
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: true point guards past first. I don't know. I mean

890
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: I watch a lot of guys. I don't have one

891
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 1: specific guy. I mean, I like Brunson. I like his

892
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: the way you know his he's so shifty, man like

893
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 1: his footwork is the fact that he can post you

894
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: up and still score against bigger guards and manage his

895
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 1: way in the lane and get a shot off, you know,

896
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: not being ass athletic as the other guys. It's incredible.

897
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a I've always liked Steph. There's a

898
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: bunch of guys I like, you know, give.

899
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 3: Me, give me the landscape of the East. You obviously

900
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 3: played in Orlando, played in Miami, What are you thinking

901
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 3: of the East right now where things are at. Who

902
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 3: do you like in the East?

903
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:07,280
Speaker 4: In Detroit?

904
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 3: Played in Detroit?

905
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, unfortunately Detroit right.

906
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 2: Now Detroit unfortunately, I know, I know they don't biggest.

907
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's setting to get you know what I'm saying,

908
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: And the fans des are better in Detroit, I feel,

909
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 1: I don't know, Yeah, they got great fans. Man.

910
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 5: Boston, Man, it's tough Boston.

911
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 1: I think Boston, if they stay healthy, they can continue

912
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: to win, you know, and and be as dominant as

913
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: they've been. But as you guys know, at the end

914
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 1: of the day is how you execute. You know now

915
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: you know in the playoffs and you can have a

916
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: great season and at the end, you know, one bad

917
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: pass it could you know, there goes your season. But

918
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: and it's all about execution with with those teams because

919
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: they're so dominant at every position and health wise, you know,

920
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: with for singles, if he says healthy, they're different team too. Man,

921
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,919
Speaker 1: I would love to see the heat, you know. Uh yeah,

922
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 1: make that that's that's step this year because you know,

923
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: we we struggle with with health issues and we need Jimmy.

924
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: We need Jimmy at his best bro. When Jimmy's at

925
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: his best, everybody follows. You know, it can't be Tyler

926
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: Hero today Jimmy, and it gotta be all of them,

927
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: you know, kind of play the right way and be consistent.

928
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 1: Bam has done everything he can, and I think he

929
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: struggles at times with with finding that consistency.

930
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 5: But he's extremely solid all around, you know.

931
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 1: And I love his game and his passion and how

932
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: committed he is too, to the franchise too, and to

933
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 1: the city. We need a point guard, man, I think

934
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: we need a point I don't know.

935
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 5: I mean, you tell me.

936
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: I mean, it's scary, Terry. He's amazing, but we need

937
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: we need to I think we need a leader that position.

938
00:41:58,960 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: You know.

939
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,919
Speaker 2: One thing I will say about Bam and the touch

940
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 2: back on the Bam thing, is like, you know, people

941
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 2: oftentimes you know what I'm saying when I say people,

942
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 2: people that watch basketball, the people that don't know shit

943
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 2: about basketball. They oftentimes want to look at scoring and

944
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 2: think that that's most of it, and they don't understand

945
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 2: how much Bam does for our team on both ends

946
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 2: of the basketball court. You know what I'm saying when

947
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 2: you talk about getting other guys involved Duncan, Robinson, Tyler Hero.

948
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,240
Speaker 2: You know, Bam is almost like a point forward. You say,

949
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, we need a point guard,

950
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,919
Speaker 2: but we really initiate offense with all five guys. Any

951
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 2: one of those guys and that's starting five, we can

952
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 2: initiate offense through. So I think Spoe likes to have

953
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 2: that flexibility of initiating offense through all five guys, especially

954
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 2: when you got a guy like Anthony Davis guard and Bam.

955
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 2: You can have Bam initiating offense at the top of

956
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 2: the key and you take Anthony Davis away from that basket,

957
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 2: that opens up backdoor custs layups for different guys to

958
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 2: get to the basket. So I think they love having

959
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 2: the opportunity to be able to initiate offense through all

960
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 2: five guys. But you know, I think for Bam, you

961
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, just people understanding how much he

962
00:42:58,480 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 2: means to our.

963
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 5: Team when he's not and he a team when he's

964
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:02,479
Speaker 5: not scoring on both sides.

965
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, Bro, I mean what he.

966
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 2: Does for us is, you know what I'm saying, It's

967
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 2: only a couple guys in the league that can guard

968
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,919
Speaker 2: one through five and actually guard him and shut him down,

969
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 2: and he's one of them.

970
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 3: You did ad a question for you? What the hell

971
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 3: is going on in Philly?

972
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 2: Bro Listen, It doesn't matter how good of a team

973
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,840
Speaker 2: or how good of a roster you have, if just

974
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 2: the leadership at the top is not is the leadership

975
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 2: is at the top is not right. And you know

976
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 2: we've talked time and time again on this show about habits.

977
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying and what you do behind

978
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 2: closed doors when people aren't watching. And I tell people,

979
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:47,879
Speaker 2: I tell your eye young guys, and I even tell

980
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 2: my kids this good reps turning the good days. I

981
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:52,479
Speaker 2: don't think they give many good reps out of practice,

982
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:53,280
Speaker 2: out of their best player.

983
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 4: And that's going to translate.

984
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: Do you think it's because of health issues or you

985
00:43:58,320 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 1: think I.

986
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 2: Mean, I think it's partly because of health issues, but

987
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 2: I also feel like the health issues are coming from

988
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,240
Speaker 2: the fact that he hasn't gotten in great shape yet,

989
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. And I feel like if

990
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,839
Speaker 2: he was to get in great shape, then he might

991
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 2: not have those health issues or as many health issues.

992
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 2: You know, I tell people this all the time. I'm

993
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 2: a huge Joel and bea fan. I'm just waiting for

994
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 2: him to make that turn, you know what I'm saying,

995
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 2: and make that flick that switch, you know what I'm saying,

996
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 2: Just like I am a huge Giannis fan, you know

997
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. But I'm waiting for Jannis to start

998
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 2: being able to shoot the ball a little better and

999
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 2: add that to his game. So I'm a huge fan

1000
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 2: of these guys. But that doesn't mean that these guys,

1001
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 2: you know, perfect, You know, nobody's perfect. But you know,

1002
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 2: for Joel Embid, I just wish he would work on

1003
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 2: his habits. And I think his habits start with, you know,

1004
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 2: understanding that this is a lifestyle now, You're not just

1005
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 2: playing the NBA when the season starts. You need to

1006
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 2: live this year round. What you eat, you know, how

1007
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 2: much rest you get, you know what I'm saying, Hitting

1008
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 2: the ground, running in the morning with the weight room,

1009
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 2: and just creating a consistent schedule for yourself in a

1010
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 2: way you perform and even though those days when you're

1011
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 2: tired and you don't feel like going to shoot around,

1012
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 2: you still push through because the other guys in the

1013
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 2: locker room are watching it and they depend on you.

1014
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 2: So things like that, I feel like, if he can

1015
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 2: kind of figure those things out, I feel like then

1016
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 2: his leadership will start being better and I feel like

1017
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 2: they'll follow him a little better. But right now, I

1018
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 2: just feel like it's a lot of division with that

1019
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 2: and the leadership part of things.

1020
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 3: There's gotta be something different, though. You do, like you

1021
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 3: look at that roster, like, if it goes the way

1022
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 3: it's going right now, this could be one of the

1023
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 3: biggest fuck ups of all time. Like, I mean, bro,

1024
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 3: their rosters loaded.

1025
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but from the beginning to season, your best things. Yeah,

1026
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 2: but from the beginning of the season, your best player

1027
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,399
Speaker 2: comes out immediately before the season even starts and says,

1028
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 2: I'm not playing back to backs. Now, if I'm in

1029
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 2: that locker room, immediately, I'm like, what the fuck with

1030
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 2: three games? Once again, what's the record? It's mental, it's mental.

1031
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 2: Once he came out and said he wasn't playing back

1032
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:43,800
Speaker 2: to back, But everybody in that locker room, everybody in

1033
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:44,280
Speaker 2: that locker.

1034
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 3: You remember, we had this conversation and you can chime

1035
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 3: in here, We've had this conversation about going to the

1036
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:51,720
Speaker 3: season with Philly. That roster was I mean to me, MAXI,

1037
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 3: Paul George, I mean Obviously, injuries are a big partner.

1038
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 3: You should be all better than five fifteen, like MAXI,

1039
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 3: Paul George.

1040
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 2: Uh, they all actually was out.

1041
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 4: Paul George has been out, Red has been out. None

1042
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 4: of them I know.

1043
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 2: But they haven't got any minutes consistently with those three

1044
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 2: guys playing together. Now.

1045
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 4: Guess what the thing is.

1046
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 3: I think there's more to it because there's a leak

1047
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 3: stuff in the media about there. They're like all the

1048
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 3: stuff about there's something crazy going on over there.

1049
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 4: I think is divided.

1050
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, to add what you guys are saying, Phitty gotta

1051
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: find a way to play play good when he's not available,

1052
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: and right now, I think management, you know, understands that

1053
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: they're not a good team if he's if he's not healthy.

1054
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: You know, if the team were to show the management

1055
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 1: we're good enough to make the playoffs or to be

1056
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: at least five hundred without embiid, they'll probably consider trading him.

1057
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 5: I think. I don't know, that's what I would think.

1058
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 2: It's the mental part of it, because even if he's

1059
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 2: not going to play, why isn't he here at shoot

1060
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 2: around right right? You know what I'm saying? The count

1061
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 2: like that with the team and the other guys. Because yes,

1062
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 2: you might be having more God given talent, you might

1063
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,439
Speaker 2: be the best player. But you know what I'm saying,

1064
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 2: to who much is given, much is required. You have

1065
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 2: the job of leading. So if you're not playing, you

1066
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,319
Speaker 2: still need to lead. That's because you're not playing. Doesn't

1067
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 2: mean that you take a day off in leading.

1068
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: Absolutely so.

1069
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 2: You know, my last few years in the NBA was

1070
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,320
Speaker 2: helping guys worry about the ship that they could control

1071
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 2: and not focus on the ship they can't control. And

1072
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 2: most guys in the NBA like to focus on the

1073
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 2: ship they can't control. So as soon as he don't

1074
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 2: come to shoot around everybody like that was shit again.

1075
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 2: And now that the mindset of the whole team has

1076
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 2: already fucked, already fucked. You know what I'm saying. Now,

1077
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 2: you're already disconnected. You got this guy with his agenda.

1078
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 2: You got this guy with his agenda, and it's just

1079
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,359
Speaker 2: it becomes a frustrating division in the locker room.

1080
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: So they're not a good team with with him on

1081
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 1: the roster or without him, you know which.

1082
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 3: I'm telling you. It's wild though, it's something I'm with you.

1083
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 3: There's gotta be there's something there frustrationstration We talked about

1084
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 3: that at the beginning, like that that the way they

1085
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 3: made that roster to me, if they're healthy, would have

1086
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 3: been awesome. But clearly or not, I don't know. I

1087
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:00,439
Speaker 3: don't get it. I got it. We got a little

1088
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 3: trivia for you right now. All right, it's our new

1089
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 3: balanced segment. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna give you.

1090
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you key things that this person was.

1091
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 3: You got to see if you can guess it. Okay,

1092
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 3: he was an NBA champion. He had a career, had

1093
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 3: fifty points in twenty twenty. He represents the golly game over.

1094
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 3: He represented Canada in twenty twenty four Paris Olympic Games.

1095
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,320
Speaker 2: I'll make it any easy if one back to high next.

1096
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 3: Who is it?

1097
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:32,399
Speaker 1: Tom? All right?

1098
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:32,919
Speaker 3: Yes, sir.

1099
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 2: By the way I spent time with I still just

1100
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 2: throw it out there for him, Damn.

1101
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 3: I think I mean it kind of made it easy.

1102
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 3: But I spent time with him as when he came

1103
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 3: in as a rookie I was with in Denver, gatid

1104
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 3: man man, and to see his growth like he's always

1105
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 3: been a dog and always grinded and work. But I'm

1106
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 3: telling you right now, man, when I when I was

1107
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 3: to see where he's come now and what he's done

1108
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 3: that middle ball screen between it with him and Joker.

1109
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 2: Listen, you know, you know, I understand, you know he's

1110
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 2: struggling right now. But I still remember that that game

1111
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 2: in the bubble, and I remember seeing him get to it,

1112
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 2: and that was some of the toughest basketball to play.

1113
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:11,240
Speaker 4: In the bubble.

1114
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:14,800
Speaker 2: There's no crowd cheering you on, there's no fan base.

1115
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 2: Your wife ain't in the stand, your kids, ain't we

1116
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:19,840
Speaker 2: meeting you after the game. You just got to you

1117
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 2: got no You got to get yourself. You got to

1118
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 2: be your own motivation. You and those guys in the

1119
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 2: locker room, you guys got to get each other ready

1120
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 2: to play. I was basketball at its purest form, and

1121
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 2: the boy was getting to it.

1122
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 3: Well, well, I'm telling you he's built. He's I mean,

1123
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 3: he's a grinder, bro, He's built for it. Because do

1124
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 3: you think he needs a change.

1125
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:38,800
Speaker 5: Do you think he needs a change from.

1126
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I think I think that you know,

1127
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:45,359
Speaker 3: it's like anything else, you know his they're so good

1128
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 3: together and they compliment each other so well, like him

1129
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:53,479
Speaker 3: a Joker like it's oh my god, and nothing nothing

1130
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 3: ever impact like affects him like good bad. Like that's

1131
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 3: what I loved about him, Like when you you know

00:49:58,200 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 3: how this is a rookie comes in, he was a

1133
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,720
Speaker 3: top ten pick, you know what I mean? It was

1134
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 3: was that dude that Kentucky comes in and when things

1135
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,399
Speaker 3: don't get like it never changed his demeanor at all.

1136
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 3: I love that about him. Man. I just like he's

1137
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 3: gonna be all, he's gonna be alright, and obviously he's

1138
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:13,840
Speaker 3: turned into who he is. Yeah, he's putting Champion and

1139
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 3: the killer.

1140
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,879
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, let me chase something. That two man game

1141
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 2: between him and Joko. Yes, it's unstoppable.

1142
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 3: They do have some interesting stuff there though. They gotta

1143
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 3: I mean what they got. I mean, they get some

1144
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:26,320
Speaker 3: interesting things right now because their pay rolls start to

1145
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 3: get up there too. And they're not playing great right now.

1146

00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:14,520

00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:16,480

1163
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 1: You got to have a certain demeanor about the game.

1164
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes I don't know, Maybe I don't see it. They're

1165
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 1: extremely talented, though.

1166
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 2: The street is in the connection they connect, the group

1167
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,800
Speaker 2: of guys that you can tell that. I mean, it

1168
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 2: seemed like they're joking around, but I look past the

1169
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:37,240
Speaker 2: joking all the time and I see the connection between

1170
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 2: the guys.

1171
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 4: You enjoying.

1172
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 5: The g's on that team.

1173
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 2: Uh nah, they're not old g's on that team. But

1174
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:48,359
Speaker 2: I'll tell you something about that team. That team, even

1175
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:50,880
Speaker 2: though they're young, they play well beyond their years. Because

1176
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:52,799
Speaker 2: you very rarely see a young team that shares the

1177
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,400
Speaker 2: basketball the right way. They play the right way offensively,

1178
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 2: and they played the way defensively. So they're tops in

1179
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 2: the league offensively and defensive. You see them in the finals, Yep,

1180
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 2: I do. Okay, see I do. Yeah, And I'm gona

1181
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 2: tell you why. I'm gonna tell you why the guy

1182
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 2: from the Knicks that move they made Hartenstein. Yes he's hurt, No,

1183
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 2: he's back. Unless he heard his back. He blocked the

1184
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 2: shot against the Lakers the other night. He might have

1185
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 2: hurt his back. But since he might be playing better there, man,

1186
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 2: let me tell you something. The Knicks are gonna miss

1187
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 2: him in the playoffs. And okay, so gonna be happy

1188
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 2: to have him in the playoffs. I'm telling you he's

1189
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 2: the kind of guy that when you look in at

1190
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 2: stat sheet, he's gonna be plus fifteen. He's gonna have

1191
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 2: twelve points, twelve rebounds, three blocks. Yes, yes, he just

Speaker 2: two minutes in the man average thirteen and twelve off

1203
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 2: this is what he's doing in that in those minutes.

1216
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 3: Why I like the Maps. Shoot, like we talked about

1217
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 3: last Like last year we were going through this whole

1218
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 3: thing like the MAVs, and MAVs got two dudes that

1219
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 3: can go win man. Listen, when I played in Miami,

1220
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 3: I learned a very very volleyball lesson. Your stars are

1221
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 3: gonna win you three games. Your role players gotta win

1222
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 3: you one.

1223
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 2: I can't say the Mass as much.

1224
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 3: As I I want to fit. They have two guys

1225
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,320
Speaker 3: that can win you a playoff game by themselves.

1226
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you and and I love Luca offensively.

1227
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 2: I love what he's able to do. I love how

1228
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:08,879
Speaker 2: he's able to score from all three levels. I love

1229
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 2: how he's able to get in the pain make guys better.

1230
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 2: I love how he's able to rebound with his size.

1231
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:15,439
Speaker 2: But I watched. I watched Boston put him in every

1232
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 2: action last year in the finals and broken. Put him

1233
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 2: in every action in the finals and broken. You know

1234
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.

1235
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 3: So you don't think get by the thunder and.

1236
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 2: Your best player might not not might not be your

1237
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 2: best defender, but your best player has to be a

1238
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 2: capable defender.

1239
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. He has to be capable.

1240
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 2: And I watched Boston attack him over and over again

1241
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 2: until they broke him. I don't know.

1242
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: I just think Luca he needs to show his teammates

1243
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 1: that he's committed and doing all the things other than scoring.

1244
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 1: If he shows that he's committed to at least, you know,

1245
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: rotating the right way and doing the extra things that

1246
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 1: his team needs him to do other than scoring, I

1247
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 1: think they could be a contender. But right now, he

1248
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:59,319
Speaker 1: complains too much. You know, he's extremely talented, and he

1249
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:02,240
Speaker 1: creates so many things for his team, but the fact

1250
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:04,319
Speaker 1: that he doesn't defend, and he's a liability.

1251
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:06,840
Speaker 5: You know at Jeopardice is your chances And.

1252
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 2: The same thing that we talk about with MB. You know,

1253
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,319
Speaker 2: if he's was ever getting the best shape of his

1254
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 2: entire life, and you know, maybe it previns a little

1255
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,839
Speaker 2: in it, excuse me, maybe prevents injuries, and you know,

1256
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,239
Speaker 2: he's maybe a more capable of defender. You know what

1257
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 2: I'm saying, But he hasn't taken upon himself just yet

1258
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 2: to get into best shape of his life.

1259
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 3: I will I will say this. I don't know what's

1260
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:28,799
Speaker 3: going to happen the rest of the year. We talked

1261
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:31,760
Speaker 3: about him, you know, you know a couple of months ago.

1262
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you you, Doka must be an unbelievable coach.

1263
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:38,239
Speaker 2: Oh he is. I knew that from Boston. He didn't

1264
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 2: get fired from Boston because he couldn't.

1265
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 3: I know, But I'm saying he must be an unbelievable

1266
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 3: That team was in the fucking I know they were talented,

1267
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 3: to have talented roster. That team was in the cellar

1268
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:48,359
Speaker 3: two years ago. They're number two in the.

1269
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 2: West, right Now, when we used to play against Boston

1270
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:52,720
Speaker 2: in the playoffs and we were in those heated games,

1271
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 2: and I always just look down into the other team's

1272
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 2: bench in their huddles, and the way he demanded the

1273
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 2: attention of everybody on that team, the way he challenged

1274
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 2: everybody on that team another one like Spoe.

1275
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 4: He holds everybody.

1276
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 2: Single, every single person accountable, from the best player to

1277
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 2: the worst player. He was the leader of men, and

1278
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 2: now he's over there in Houston and he's teaching younger

1279
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 2: guys how to be men. But they're buying into it,

1280
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:17,880
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, So there's no surprise, but

1281
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 2: he's accomplishing.

1282
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 3: They remind me, and I like it. They remind me

1283
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 3: a lot of Orlando in the East and in the West.

1284
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 3: Is they've done it through the draft. They've done it

1285
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 3: through development. Like if you look at their whole you look

1286
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:29,879
Speaker 3: at their whole roster, you look at Orlando's whole roster,

1287
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 3: it's through the draft, and they come added a couple

1288
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,319
Speaker 3: of small pieces like k C. Pete. That small pieces

1289
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 3: nobody leat seven game series, no know's gonna be.

1290
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:40,880
Speaker 2: Number two defensive rated league team in the league. Who's

1291
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:43,719
Speaker 2: at Orlando, I know, the second best defensive rate. Switch

1292
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 2: one through five. Everybody got link, everybody athletic. They'll lock

1293
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:47,239
Speaker 2: your ass down.

1294
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 1: Orlando is a perfect example, Uh to what I'm telling

1295
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:56,879
Speaker 1: you guys about Philly. Orlanda's playing great without what's his name? Yep,

1296
00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 1: but you see ain't doing that. And tell me Orlando

1297
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: has a good, solid team of role players. They're playing,

1298
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 1: you know, they're playing smart basketball and selfish basketball. They're

1299
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 1: sharing the ball, they playing defense.

1300
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:11,359
Speaker 2: You Pablo's agent, does he go to practice even though

1301
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 2: he's not playing, God to shoot arounds when he's not playing.

1302
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 2: That kind of stuff matters. You just want to see

1303
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 2: your leaders and your best guys there. You just want

1304
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 2: their support through through the process.

1305
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 3: Of course that the East is going to be interesting

1306
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 3: because the difference obviously, look at the top, the top

1307
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,800
Speaker 3: two or three on there are even to put the

1308
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 3: knicks in their comparable to the whole Western Conference, and you

1309
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 3: see it go past there all of a sudden the

1310
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 3: teams are round five hundred. It's gonna be interesting. The

1311
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 3: East West is gonna be interesting.

1312
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 2: What do ya think, man, I'm still looking for You know,

1313
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 2: obviously the Miami Heat to go on the run. They

1314
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:46,439
Speaker 2: put it all together, you know what I'm saying. You

1315
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:48,880
Speaker 2: look back to last year and even though they have Bam,

1316
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 2: Jimmy and Tyler and even Terry, you know, combining those

1317
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 2: guys play a total of ten games together last year.

1318
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 2: So you know, this year, can they put it together

1319
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 2: and can it work? But then as soon as Jimmy

1320
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 2: came back, then Terry was out for a while. And

1321
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 2: then when Terry came back, then Jimmy was out for

1322
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 2: a while. So they haven't quite been able to put

1323
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 2: it together. But I'm always gonna believe in the sposure

1324
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 2: to No Shit Baby show. The Bucks are getting it going.

1325
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 2: You got to give credit, what credit do execution? One

1326
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 2: of the highest scoring duos in the league right now

1327
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 2: is Damn Giannis. So their leaders are getting it done

1328
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 2: and the other guys are picking up the slack. You

1329
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, They getting done.

1330
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 1: You think the league is being unfair another league? I

1331
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 1: mean fan base everyone the way they you know, speak

1332
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 1: about Doc Rivers and what he's done and what he

1333
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 1: hasn't been able to accomplish. What do you guys say?

1334
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I had him in Boston when I left

1335
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 1: here and he's great and he's similar too in the

1336
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: sense of holding everyone accountable.

1337
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 5: But what do you guys think?

1338
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 4: I mean, I love I love Doc, so I play

1339
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:56,840
Speaker 4: for Doc. I love Doc.

1340
00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 3: I played for Doc in Orlando. Right. Uh, that team,

1341
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 3: that team to me, has been has been strange for

1342
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 3: the last two years though. Yeah, and I think I

1343
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 3: think as good as Dame is, I think, you know,

1344
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 3: it shows you how complimentary like Drew Holliday was a

1345
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 3: was really good man and obviously goes to Boston they

1346
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 3: win it, right, So that that team has been strange

1347
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:21,480
Speaker 3: to me because when you look at it on paper, like,

1348
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 3: oh shit, these guys a roll. Yeah, I don't know.

1349
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not in there every day to see it.

1350
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 2: But frustrated what you got your best player making decisions,

1351
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:33,400
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. Obviously, I don't think Adrian

1352
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 2: Griffin should have never been fired, you know what I'm saying.

1353
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 2: He was still in the top of the East when

1354
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 2: he lost him. You still had, you know, room to

1355
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 2: grow and to still work with him, you know what

1356
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 2: I'm saying. But he never really got that opportunity, you know.

1357
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 1: So, I mean, I mean franchises include their big players

1358
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:55,479
Speaker 1: on decision making at times. You know what I'm saying,

1359
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 1: you should? I mean you should. You know it makes

1360
00:59:58,800 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 1: you feel.

1361
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 2: Like you get one, and you got your one with Adrian.

1362
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 2: You don't get to come back again and say you

1363
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 2: don't want him in the same damn year you got one.

1364
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 2: You came in here, you said you wanted this move.

1365
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 2: We made this move. Now we ain't halfway through the

1366
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,800
Speaker 2: season and you ain't here talking about you want another one. No, no, no, no,

1367
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 2: it's yours. Out of here. You get one, I'll give

1368
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 2: you one. You can't be back in here two weeks

1369
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 2: later talk about you wanted to do it again.

1370
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying and what I feel about Doctor.

1371
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 2: What I will say with Docs, and I love Doc,

1372
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 2: What I would say with Doc is he give these

1373
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 2: players too much credit.

1374
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 4: He give him too much credit.

1375
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 2: Back in the days, from the era where he was

1376
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 2: coaching in Boston, you knew that if you had an

1377
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 2: off day or if you just had a light walk through,

1378
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 2: that KG was gonna still get his work. You knew

1379
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 2: Ray was still gonna still get his shots. You knew

1380
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 2: Rondo was gonna still get his work and his conditioning.

1381
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 2: Then you knew those guys are gonna do that. This generation,

1382
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 2: they're gonna do that. If you give him a light

1383
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 2: walker walk through. They don't go sit in the dark

1384
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 2: and play PS five for the rest of the day.

1385
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 2: They're not gonna get their condition if you're give them

1386
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 2: the day off. So docs from the school where you know,

1387
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 2: these guys are obsessed with winning. So if we have

1388
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 2: a light walkthrough, I know they gonna get their shots.

1389
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 2: I know they're gonna get their work. We have that report,

1390
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:14,560
Speaker 2: we have that trust. This generation is not the same

1391
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 2: as that old generation mentally.

1392
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 3: No.

1393
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:18,440
Speaker 2: Talent wise, they are ten times better than we were,

1394
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 2: but mentally they just don't have the drive that we have.

1395
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 2: So he gives these guys credit. And I don't think

1403
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:47,560

01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 1: from that, so far away from that.

1405
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 5: It's too expensive, too expensive, way too expensive.

1406
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 2: I got a question, how wasn't playing with Roger playing

1407
01:01:57,320 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 2: Roja Belle.

1408
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 4: I love it was a dog and he got still

1409
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 4: a dog.

1410
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:07,880
Speaker 1: But he was extremely competitive and uh, you know, very

1411
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 1: misunderstood too. You know, Roger, you always wanted to win

1412
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 1: and compete and uh, but he was a great teammate.

1413
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 1: I had a man with me as well.

1414
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 5: Yes, we played two years at FU.

1415
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 4: That's what I was talking about. When you played with

1416
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 4: him in the league too.

1417
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:20,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, we played together in Utah.

1418
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 2: You were together in Utah. I was thinking about n

1419
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 2: f IU. You were together in Utah.

1420
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:28,040
Speaker 3: Utah teams were the most physical, fucking basketball team.

1421
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 1: It was hard to win with.

1422
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:33,840
Speaker 3: Oh my god, when they had Rajah and Matt Harpring,

1423
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 3: my god, oh my god, it was crazy. Did you

1424
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 3: almost get Carmena and Anthony to play for the team

1425
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 3: your Puerto Rican team?

1426
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 1: Uh? Melow went to Puerto Rico when he was before

1427
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 1: he went to college.

1428
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 3: Uh.

1429
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 1: Back then you can turn you can play pro and

1430
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 1: still go to school and playing the NCAA. I think

1431
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 1: he went and tried out for a team. Uh. And

1432
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:01,959
Speaker 1: from what I heard they offered him like two hundred

1433
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:04,520
Speaker 1: dollars a game or something. But he was in high

1434
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 1: school though, and uh, he declined it. I think that

1435
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 1: rubbed them the wrong way. I could be wrong. That's

1436
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 1: something you have to ask him. And then he decided

1437
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 1: to play for and he went on to be one

1438
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: of the best USA players. I would play for USA basketball,

1439
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:19,520
Speaker 1: but that would have been great, you know, and we

1440
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:25,760
Speaker 1: can still you know, recruited something that'll be great.

1441
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:31,000
