32
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 1: you guys get together. So this was your plan all along.

33
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: This definitely was my plan all along. Man. Like I

34
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: said before, man, most of the fine sexy girls they short.

35
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: They're short. Man, ain't gonna happen when you're sign a

36
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: big talks. I ain't wasn't wont to stay. I said,

37
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: I know what I'm trying to do. I need that

38
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: length and strength. And she was also beautiful and intelligent.

39
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: So everything's telling the line. You come from a family

40
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 1: of brothers, yeah. And what I'm gathering from you and

41
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: your brother, you guys were close. You instill that closeness

42
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: in your boys most definitely. Man. Uh you know, my

43
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: mom and dad always was like family first. So that

44
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: that leads on to me to say family first, and

45
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: that leads on me telling my boys family is everything.

46
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: Triple bees, Biddy, I was reading the story. I don't know,

47
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: and you could rerect me if I'm wrong. Is that

48
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: you played high school ball with what three or four

49
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: your brothers? No, no, no, no, no. The gap was

50
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: too far to play with all of us. I played

51
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: one college season with with my my one of my

52
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: brothers that's under me. Okay, he's a couple of years

53
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: younger than me, so so what's the age gap, Because

54
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: the age gap is like this when he was a

55
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 1: tenth grader, I was a senior. Okay, that's how it is.

56
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: And then my other brothers that are younger than me,

57
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: or Lorenzo who is seven years younger than me, that

58
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: everybody thinks he's my twin. Okay, But but you got

59
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: you had this plan, Dot because your three boys are

60
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 1: very close in age, very close in age. On the

61
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: fact that I've learned from my dad. He didn't have

62
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: a super close together and everybody playing on the same team.

63
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: Here's the thing with my dad did, which it was

64
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: a little different, which he always thought, you should be

65
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: the owner of the team. I said, okay, but what

66
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: if I want to do the plan I own an

67
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: old little team. I want to play, right, he should.

68
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: We didn't start playing sports till it was in the

69
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: tenth grade, and then told me, hey, start my boys

70
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: extra early because he had already set the blueprint. We

71
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: were stronger and faster than a lot of people everybody,

72
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: damn there. But he never knew what to do with this,

73
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: like I'm doing it with my sons right now. You

74
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: and I were very close in age. We got a

75
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: lot of the same principles. Although I'm born and were

76
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: raised in South Georgia, you're born raised the South instro la.

77
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: But my father, the way he looked at it, I

78
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: need labor, so I need to get I need to

79
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: go ahead and have a bunch of these kids. They

80
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: need to be closed in age. And if he could

81
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: have had all boys, he'd had all boys, but that

82
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: was not gonna be no gap right exactly exactly, And

83
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: that's why I didn't put no gap between my boys

84
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: because I fay together in high school. I tried to

85
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: have a lonzo and cello in the same year. He

86
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: had got close thirteen months off right, And then she

87
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: needed a little break because I know she ain't popping

88
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: him out like that. So I gave her a little break.

89
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: And then I said, Nollo, you got to come on

90
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: down to me. Here, come, so when you let you

109
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: over the last let's just say the last. Going through

110
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: this process, obviously, you know he's meeting with teams, he's

111
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: talking to teams, he's going to work. I think he

112
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: worked out for what three teams, the top three teams,

113
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: top fourteens he worked out for. So what was your

114
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: conversations with Mellow. My conversation with Milo wasn't much. It's like, man,

115
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna do what you're gonna do. Whoever gonna pick

116
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: it gonna be the right team to pick it right now.

117
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: The way to the draft one, I happened to be

118
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: the luckiest guy in the world. Man, I keep telling

119
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: you that I did not want to go stay in

120
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: no Minnesota. I didn't want him in the cold. He

121
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: don't want to live in the cold. He could say

122
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: what he wanted to go to any team. He don't

123
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: want to live in on Minnesota. And then, like I

124
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: said with Gold, and say, I figure they already got

125
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: their team with play and Steph and you know, and

126
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,480

00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: you know what, that dude did call me the milli

128

Speaker 1: come back through his son, through him. And I didn't

130
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: want medal trying to make a decision on do I

131
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: listen to my employer or do I listen to my dad?

132
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: No matter how good he is, is still up in

134
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: and that boy went to Michael Jordan, which I've always

135
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: been saying, somebody got to be better than Jordan. Why

136
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: not you? And to be tutored under him? Come on, man,

Speaker 1: What if he'd gone to the Knicks Madison Square Garden? Hey, here,

154
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: it is no matter where Mellow would win. I was

155
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: talking about New York in Detroit. I was talking about

156
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: those two teams because they was gonna try to find

157
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: a way to get all my boys right. That's why

158
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: I wanted them to go right there. And like I'm

159
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: gonna tell Mike, Hey, when Mellow, you're gonna be good.

160
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: You bring in Yellow, You're gonna be better, You bring

161
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: in Linzo, You're gonna have the best. I guarantee you

162
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: win a championship. Because that's their original big three. They

163
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: grown organically. Them duds can switch and play at a

164
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: pace that nobody can The last time my three was together,

165
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: they was babies and they went undefeated. So imagine what

166
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: they can do is grown men. So you still you

167
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: still haven't given up on that dream that's not even

168
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: gonna be a dream, on the fact that it should

169
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: happened sooner and later. Can you imagine you were talking

170
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: about press all three of my boys in Charlotte, But

171
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: you know how many people gonna watch every game and

172
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: be the biggest thing ever guarantee. But here's the thing,

173
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: so you won't even say that I'm dreaming about this

174
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: after four years go by. They can they can decide

175
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: to play with any team they want. And here's the

176
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 1: thing like this to see. And I'm gonna tell you

177
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: the platform you got, Mellow get cellow Lonzos a free

178
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: agent next year. You don't think he'll come over there

179
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: with his brothers. Come on, all the boys in Charlotte.

180
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 1: Nick's under the goal, sitting next to big bullet, and

181
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: you never know what's gonna go down in a half

182
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: time because me and Mike, Mike decided to play that

183
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: one on one game. First of all, you and they

184
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: got two old y'all. Let the young kid had it.

185
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: No we met the young kids had this right now.

186
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,599
Speaker 1: But if the people in the world I want to

187
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: see that one on one, they're gonna have to pay

188
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: a price. From the greatest of all time to the

189
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: colorst of all time Triple Baby. So you called a

190
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: lot of criticism. Now, now correct me if I'm wrong.

191
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: You and the old coach at Chinohell had a falling

192
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:29,599
Speaker 1: out about how Mellow was going to be used. No, no, no, no,

193
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: we didn't have him fall out about how Mellow was

194
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: gonna be used. Okay, this is the narrative they wanted

195
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: to create when they was like, man, oh Lafar said

196
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: that the miller ain't allowed to shoot fifty times, she's

197
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 1: taking her son. No, I had these other kids that

198
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: I've been training that were very good, right, that he

199
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: needed to put on the team, not even just to play,

200
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: but just to have him practice and have the same

201
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: schedule with Mellow, and everything was gonna be fine, right Man,

202
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: He cut every one of them dudes that I have

203
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: trained and then end up putting them back the next year. Anyway,

204
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: But I'm like, they were all better than the people

205
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: that he had on the So you think you think

206
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,599
Speaker 1: he did that because you asked him to do that,

207
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 1: and so that was out of sight of you. Right, basically,

208
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: that's what it was. And I said, you know what,

209
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: You're gonna lose everything now because my son ain't gotta

210
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: be here, So you take him, you take him out

211
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: of school. Yeah, but hold on. So this was not

212
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: a plan. You did not originally plan to go to Lithuania.

213
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: Your plan was to have a mellow play. Oh hey,

214
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: my plan wanted to go to Lithuania. But here's the thing.

215
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: What happens. And I always tell people this man, sometimes

216
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: you have to take a step backwards to shoot forward.

217
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: And what I tell Jello, by whatever mean by that

218
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: is okay, Jello did something bad. He took he took

219
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: the glasses. Okay, I get that. But if Jello don't

220
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: take the glasses, I don't create my own league. I

221
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: don't take him over to Lithuania to get water and

222
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: other to make them global. That doesn't happen. There's a

223
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: story that was gonna happen. Lonzo was gonna go to UCLA.

224
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: Jello was gonna do his thing, and being I tend

225
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: to as a shooting guard go to UCLA, Mello was

226
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: gonna follow that pattern. Hey, Lavarmaker's money. Don't worry about

227
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: everything else that's going on. This is bigger than just

228
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 1: me and my boys now, and I think it was

229
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: created by the negativity that Jello did to allow the

230
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: family to explode into this global era. I don't go

231
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 1: across the USA, I don't make the JPA. It's a

232
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: lot of things. Melo don't develop the way he does, right,

233
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: And that's what and that's where I credit you. Now,

234
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if everything that's that's come to fruition

235
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: is the way you planned it. But I don't know

236
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: if anybody has made a better use of a situation

237
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: or a negative situation and turning it into a positive

238
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: as you have right most definitely, Like I said, a

239
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: lot of these kids that your rookie, Rubio's, France, I mean,

240
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: Parker's and all of them. You get these kids overseas, okay,

241
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: well over season they're playing against pros. Now, I'm taking

242
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: Americans over there being mellow and Jello go over there

243
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: at a young age and play. Now it's like, oh,

244
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: it's dare just wanting to content for the guy to know.

245
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: I don't want my boy to study from no chemistry

246
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: tests and no Spanish chests and ain't gonna use that

247
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: and do the same thing these young kids was doing

248
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: coming over here to the US. I see, this is

249
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: what can never happen. Nobody has the money in the

250
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: platform to do that because they're coming from the ghetto

251
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: with all that talent. So they can't go overseas and

252
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 1: do the same thing I did. Right, So you go,

253
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: So you pull? How did you come about going to Lithuania?

254
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: What you pull? When I was talking to you know,

255
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,599
Speaker 1: my guys about going over there, I don't want to go.

256
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: We had a few other teams that was involved. I

257
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: don't want my boys to go to a team that's

258
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: that's balling out of control. Why because you really don't

259
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 1: need my boys. You was winning without them, right, So

260
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: we go to a raggedy team, and that's what you

261
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: do usually to get the playing time and the press

262
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: that you want. Anybody can go to a real good

263
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: team and do a little bit. But can you go

264
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: to a bad team and uplift them or do some things?

265
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: Because hey, just like in the draft, you get the

266
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: best players at the top going to the weakest teams, right,

267
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 1: So it's a given. And it's just like we did

268
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,599
Speaker 1: the same thing. So Lithuania was nobody even talking about Croatia.

269
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: Barcelona's oh they're not talking about them in Lithuania wouldn't

270
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: even been known if my boys don't go over there,

271
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,599
Speaker 1: and they ain't been known since. So you go to

272
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: Lithuania mat that situation. So what were you're playing after Lithuania.

273
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 1: After Lithuania, it was for Jello to get you know,

274
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: drafted to the to the league from there. I don't

275
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: know what happened is that didn't happen. So guess what

276
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 1: Mello said, Dad, I want to finish my uh you

277
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: know in the high school because they didn't want to

278
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: be out there no more in your yellow wouldn't goa

279
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: be out there. So now that's when I say, you

280
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna do my little Jaba tour. We

281
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: go to fifteen different countries to keep bawling to clear

282
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: that time, so we won't just be sitting now. IM

283
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: not doing nothing right now. I have to create my

284
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: own league if I don't want to go back, have

285
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: my son go to college, or have an AU team

286
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: or something for Mello to have exposure to be seen. Right,

287
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 1: So I got to create my own league and we

288
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: move on our own merits. So that's why people was like, wow,

289
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: they're not playing against no talent. Well, it's playing against

290
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: some of the best talent because we had the best

291
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: thing going, which is I had the ball Boys, which

292
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: is the name, and I had the big mouth to say,

293
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: we can't lose y'all because y'all not good enough to

294
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: beat us. Right, So now all the teams they wanted players,

295
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: they just want to play us on the fact that

296
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: say they want to be the team that got USA

297
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 1: across their chests. They don't care who it is. I

298
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: guess what they're coming and that's extra hard. And that's

299
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: the one boys got all their talent. And folks like

300
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: to discredit that by saying, oh no, they played for

301
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: their dash lead. But they played the whole game and

302
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: never got sub So it ain't nothing better than experience.

303
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: So mellow fairs, Dad, I want to go. I want

304
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: to go back to high high school. So now you

305
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: got to find the high school. How do you land

306
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: on this high school? And Ohio spire Man. Everything panned

307
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: out where a lot of people wanted different transcripts and

308
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: they had different motives, and I found out that well,

309
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: I didn't find out one of my guys that works

310
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: for me. He said, Man, I got the perfect spot.

311
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: I said, well, we're doing let the Wayne and it

312
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: don't matter where it is, as long as it's in

313
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: the States. We're good. Because some other big name teams

314
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: wanted us, okay, but this one tanned out because I said, wow,

315
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: I need Mello to play with somebody with some fire coach.

316
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: I just didn't wanted to take Mellow and be a

317
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: yes man and also just be a cloud chaser in

318
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: the fact, I'm coaching a Mellow ball now, you know

319
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: from over here. And Jamaine Jackson was that dude. I mean,

320
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: like I said before, I told you I'm the luckiest

321
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: do in the world. And for him to link up

322
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: like that and teach Mellow, this is what he said,

323
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: Mellow has it. But this is the first time I

324
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: met this guy. He said, Mello has the first time

325
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: to be the number one pick. I said, this dude

326
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: thing just like me, Man, I can't lose how I

327
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: get this guy and coming from the hood the Detroit,

328
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: he coaches with a different emotion, which is what's needed

329
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: for my son to be successful. And it's hard for

330
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: let me tell you, like Linzo It Luke, Steve Alford,

331
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: coach Bake. They all looked too docile. I'm rock my pa. Yeah,

332
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: so that's what they respond to. So you gotta play

333
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: for a brother that had that same type of intensity

334
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: to put you on another level. Like I say, Mellow

335
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: a couple of times playing as a spire and Jermaine

336
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: was like, kill him. He can't go out. We're gonna

337
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: show him. You know, you don't say that as no

338
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: head coach, right, you know that type of flavor. That's

339
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: why Mellow linked up to him and kind of they

340
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: the best friends to this day. Now, yes, Hello created

341
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: a bomb with him, not only as a manager, as

342
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: a trainer, but as his best friend and his best friend.

343
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: It's forty something years old with a family. So guess what, people, Oh,

344
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: Mello's really mature. Not yeah, because he ain't in school

345
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: and he talking to a dude who's who understands life

346
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: and who came from nothing. And that's what happened. My

347
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: grandpa used to say, boy association brings on assimilation. Mellow,

348
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: if eighteen years old, he's dealing with a forty year

349
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: old aground man with the family, He's gonna take on

350
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: those values. He's gonna think like the oh my god,

351
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: and that's why people aren't sowing all like wow. He

352
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: wasn't like that when he was sixteen on the Facebook Show.

353
00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: But down look at him. I mean, dude, if you're

354
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: talking to a forty year old man every night, he's

355
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: not telling you, Hey, what cartoon a were gonna watch?

356
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: Or when's the next movie coming out? How many girls

357
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: can we go talk to down the strip club? You

358
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: know anything? You know. I don't be away from all that.

359
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: That's why Mellows' is so dialed in on this basketball thing. Hey,

360
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: I never watched film and never did define tuning that

361
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: JJ is doing for Mellow, And that's why I said,

362
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: nobody gonna come into draft like Mellow. One thing is,

363
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: none of these kids have ever played against grown in.

364
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: Mellow was the only one who has and who's been global.

365
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: You go to Spire, Okay, what's you're playing after Spire?

366
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,959
Speaker 1: After Spire, Mellows either either gonna go to China or Australia.

367
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 1: One of those two teams. Mellow he would have got

368
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,239
Speaker 1: more money in China. But it's not about that. It's

369
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: about we already been out to China and Hong Kong

370
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: and Shanghai and all that. He had enough for traveling

371
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: overseas and not speaking English, right, he had enough of

372
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: the weather. So Australia perfect weather. They got a little accent,

373
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: but they speak English and everything was perfect for him

374
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: out there. So but you didn't go with it. And

375
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: here's the thing that's where people were stuck on. I

376
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: don't have to go with him. If I got another

377
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: guy working for me that things like me, which is

378
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: JJ is the exact person for my son. I call

379
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: him my little bro because he acts like my little brother. Man.

380
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 1: JJ is in the same way, middle of the coldest

381
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: in the game. He didn't see that we put in

382
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: our work. Basketball is a lifestyle. Okay. I got the

383
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: big ball of brand I gotta deal with. I got Jello,

384
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: I gotta deal with because that's you know, these two

385
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: are the only ones not in the NBA yet. I

386
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: gotta deal with him. I gotta deal with the brand.

387
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 1: And I also gotta deal with my wife. Tina don't

388
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: want to travel like that, so if I don't have

389
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: to take her, And then we finally got to spend

390
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: some time at the house and her getting better and

391
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: me doing things with the brand and the COVID situate

392
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: all that stuff. It's cool if I can have somebody

393
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: help me out, and JJ helped me out a lot.

394
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: This is what this man did. Man, And you have

395
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: to understand this. Who ups and goes from their family

396
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: to go deal with my son unless you treat my

397
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: son like your son, right, you can't get that. And

398
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: I understand it. And that's how lucky I am. Man.

399
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: So everybody the bar is not involved. No. I talked

400
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: to Jay every day like he's not a little brother.

401
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: He's only dude I call a little bro. And people

402
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: would be like, man, because everybody knows the bar don't

403
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: let his boy's train with nobody. He only do the

404
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: training itself. You know, I don't want nobody to train them.

405
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: So for they asking Jay, how did you get in

406
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: like this? And the only way you gotta stay with

407
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 1: Mello for a year. Stay with him for a year,

408
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: inspire and then get his trust and the way he

409
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: feels about you and I trust you, so guess what,

410
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: and you have the knowledge of the game, right, So

411
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: this is this situation for Mello. So basically, so once

412
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 1: once Australia was over, you knew he was going into

413
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: the draft. Well, once Australia, here's an NBA got able

414
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: to see this. Everybody was shocked. Oh my god, he's

415
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: got two trouble doubles in the road. I only want

416
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: to do this selling on every arena. That's what the

417
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: NBA want to do. You want a talent to guy,

418
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: but you also at the bottom line, you gotta make

419
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: some money. You gotta sell them tickets. Right, my son

420
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: is the only one who I'll tell you what. Check

421
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: everybody who got drafted, and then check the attendance record

422
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: of every arena, and I bet you my son be

423
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: the only one that's sold out guaranteed first game. Wat's

424
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: how crazy it is, because it ain't like Mellow is

425
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: all of a sudden gonna make everybody come. No, that's

426
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: what he does. Hey, listen to this. At Chino Hills,

427
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: Lonzo was heirs here. He was good when Jello got there.

428
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: We got better when Mellow got there. We were the

429
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: best sell out. The boy with Lithuanian sell out JDA.

430
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: He do his thing, make everybody watch JPA. He do

431
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: his thing, Aspire sell out. He do Australia the biggest crowds. Ever,

432
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: it's not like he don't know he's gonna go to

433
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: Charlotte by under the goat and you don't think it

434
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a sell out. That's what I'm saying. It's

435
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: natural for him, that's what he does. So once you

436
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: now the goal is to get Yellow into the NBA. Yes, say,

437
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 1: when you get Yellow to the NBA, then what does

438
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: levard does do? Like I said, LaVar, I gonna keep

439
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: doing what he's doing. Like I told folks before, my

440
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: boy's gonna make so much money off the court. This

441
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: is a billion dollar enterprise. People ask me, They say, LaVar,

442
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: where you see yourself in ten years? I said, as

443
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: the biggest brand ever? And everybody gets a little chuckle

444
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: like man, okay, hey, every brand gotta start somewhere. I'll

445
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: be ventured off into a lot of other things. Like

446
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: I said, I got these water coming out these rims, Well,

447
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: I gotta bring some of my water. Don't wear but

448
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: I had to shipped up there the fox where yet?

449
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: But it's better than that other one. Wive springs matter

450
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: next to a vaulcano. You know how hop that he

451
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: is to get that water from over there. You gotta

452
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 1: be coldest hair to get that water. And I'm gonna

453
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 1: tell you it's better soothing. But anyways, with the big

454
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: ball of brand and the rims and tires, that's gonna

455
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: come out, man, and it's just gonna be I'm gonna

456
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 1: get in that grassroots area, which which is another night,

457
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: another lane. I'm gonna stay in my voices from Chino Hills.

458
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: I'm from La South Central, but I got some of

459
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: my guys on my team that was back in the hood.

460
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: That's gonna bring me back to the inner city and

461
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do some things for them out there. So

462
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: it's a lot of things lined up. Are you looking

463
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: to get back into it and look to find the

464
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 1: next Mellow Linzo Jello and try to bring them and

465
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: usher them until they definitely? Definitely, because I want I

466
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: want these athletes to understand their self worth and make

467
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: them understand at the end of the day, it's about ownership.

468
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 1: And it's not like I'm not gonna go after some

469
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: of these next number one and number two picks, because

470
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: here's the deal I'm gonna give them. I'm gonna give

471
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: you forty percent ownership as opposed to an endorsement deal.

472
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna give you five years, two million dollars

473
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: a year to where this shoe world to where it

474
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: is on the fact that, hey, you're a popular player

475
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: and it's a standard no matter how good or bad

476
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: you do. I'm giving you two million. If you're betting

477
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: on yourself, come to the big Bowl of brand, because

478
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: if we can sell a million shoes at one hundred

479
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: dollars apout, now, I'm giving you forty million, and I'm

480
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: taking sixty forty. But you got forty million dollars ownership.

481
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: And whether you play one year or ten years, when

482
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: you leave, take your brand with you. You ain't gonna

483
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: get stuck like Kawahi and can't take your own hand back,

484
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: you said, And you used to tell us this all

485
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: the time, especially off the air. You's like the baby,

486
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: He's gonna be the best of all of them. He's

487
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: gonna be bigger, he's gonna be stronger, he's gonna be faster.

488
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: He will be Why are you so convinced that Mellow

489
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: would be the best of all your boys? Well, it's

490
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: just like they like phones. Like I told you, you

491
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: keep making one phone better than the next one. You

492
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: don't make it the one. This one don't be good,

493
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: But you learn the stuff from this one to put

494
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: on this one right now, Mellow, this is what I say.

495
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: I mean, Alonzo, I need him the oldest to lead

496
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: the team. You got to do that. That's why he

497
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 1: rebounds so good because he played as my big man

498
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: and my best guard. But I cannot have him playing

499
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: defense on the best player. He gonna get tired. So

500
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: what I put Mellow in Jellow to double team the

501
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: best player on every team. That's why I had them

502
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: at the top of the tray, to let them do

503
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: all the pressing and chasing people. Okay, now, Alonzo's a facilitator.

504
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: He can do his thing. He can score Alonzo, but

505
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: Jello is the heck of a shooter. Bloom boom, boom boom.

506
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: Now Mellow learns from both of them. So Mellow is

507
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: the only one in my family that could play the

508
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: one order two. Jello can play the one because as

509
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: soon as he passed half court, he think he opened

510
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: and he let a shoot, so he ain't gonna get

511
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 1: nobody involved. Lonzo k really played the two. On the

512
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: fact that you're passing the ball in the corner where

513
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: he's supposed to take a three. He looking for the

514
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: cutter and that's too long, right, supposed to look for

515
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: no cutter. Mellow can flip from playing the one out

516
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: of necessity, he passing the ball to flip it over

517
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: the two to try to score a hundred points on

518
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,719
Speaker 1: his own. That's when we played. Alonzo called a lot

519
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: of libs from Mellow when he was little. But then

520
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: Mellow say, okay, Lonzo out the way, and they want

521
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: me to play point. He plays point out of necessity.

522
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 1: He loves to score, but a lot of people don't

523
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: see him on that Meloco score the heck out of

524
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: the ball. But he the only one who could flip

525
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: his mind set to play the one order two, where

526
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: my other two sons are just stuck in their lanes.

527
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: So what area do you think Melow needs to improve on?

528
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: To tell everybody before many even your guy the greatest

529
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: right now, Lebron, what he work on? He work on

530
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: something every day. Yeah, And here here's the thing with

531
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: the boys that never it's a lifestyle and you ain't

532
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: never got no risks. And guess what, I don't care

533
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: how good you are. You've got something to work on,

534
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: which is everything. So it don't be like, well, I

535
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:27,959
Speaker 1: just need to work on my shooting. I just need

536
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: to do a little bit more this. No, that's when

537
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: you get complacent. You've got so much to work on.

538
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't want to say, like you never

539
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: made it, But if you're trying to be the best

540
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: in the world, ever, how are you gonna stop. NBA

541
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: evaluators compared Mellow's game to Spencer Dinwittie. Yes, agreed, disagree,

542
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: Well check it out all your evaluators. They can't play

543
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: a lick. That's why I don't total evaluation is anything,

544
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: and you're gonna evaluate me. It's just like this. If

545
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: I had a big guy who eats all all the time,

546
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: how can I tell you how good some food is.

547
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: I ain't tried enough of it. I tried to critique

548
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 1: and tell me what my boy, you want to convince him?

549
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: To Spencer Dinwiddie, Man, they had Alonzo. He was compared

550
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: to every guard that's light skinning. So so I'm just saying,

551
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: don't don't try to put him in these categories and

552
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: all this. If anybody played like if you look, it's

553
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: more like Penny Hardaway, right, he's about he's about penny five. Yes,

554
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: so so so that's what I'm saying they want to

555
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: say he's not no Spencer Mellow the new Brief something

556
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: ain't seen h before all my boys. I tell him that,

557
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: what was your emotion when Lnzo got traded from LA

558
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: because he was a hometown kid Keno Hills basically left

559
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: than an hour away from LA. This is where you

560
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: wanted to be New Orleans? Okay, yeah, you know I

561
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: was happy as I was happy as a big ball

562
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: in a donut shop. Yes, I'm gonna tell you why.

563
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: Here's I don't care about where they played, It's about

564
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: the situation. They end on the fact that you're in

565
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: this You're in this field where you're traveling all the

566
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: time anyway, so home really ain't no big ass deal.

567
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: You're playing photy games on the road, photy games at

568
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: home or whatever. Okay, that's fine. And when I'm trying

569
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: to tell people, it doesn't matter where you stay. You

570
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: gotta be in a place where a coach is behind

571
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: you to let you do what you do and he

572
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: believes in you, to believe that. Like I told him before,

573
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: if Magic was a coach, Lonzo would have still been there.

574
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:30,959
Speaker 1: On the fact that what did he say? He had

575
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: so much belief in Lonzo, but he had no say so.

576
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 1: You know, I would rather have Lonzo be tutored by

577
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: the coldest point guard to ever play the game, which

578
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: is magic. Right. So now you got this guy right

579
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: here who's supposed to be that the ultimate pro And

580
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: that's why, that's why I said magic is perfect. But

581
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: if you're not the coaching, you had no say so.

582
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: Luke Walton ain't no point guard. He was a small forward,

583
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: right And just because you played with some other players

584
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: don't make you a good coach. And your last name

585
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 1: is Walt don't mean you're a good coach. Don't get

586
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: mad at me. He's a good guy, just not a

587
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: good coach. But that's not the point. And I'm saying,

588
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: if he's not a good coach, or was he not

589
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 1: a good coach? For your fun, you do the math

590
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: what they're doing Sacramento. You can put him anywhere. The

591
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: boy ain't a good coach, You can put it anywhere.

592
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: But I'm like I said before, how do you coach

593
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,959
Speaker 1: where you came as an assistant coach over there? At

594
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 1: what is that? Don't say, man, just because somebody backwards hurting,

595
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: all you did was stand up next. And now you're

596
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: the best coach in the where. Yeah, you fool them

597
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: real good. That's how I went down. But I'm not

598
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: there another way. Go ahead, go ahead. Seems to me

599
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: what you're telling me is that you need a coach

600
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: to coach your boys that believe in your boy like

601
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: you believe in your boys. Okay, everybody listen to me.

602
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: Who believed in my boys and not saying, oh, I'm

603
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: gonna do this to the boys a bully or he

604
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: telling them what to do. No, just listen when I'm

605
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: telling you, because I coached him, honest life coach. Back,

606
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: listen to me about the school. Let these boys lose,

607
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: let them do what they do. Successful, Steve Alvo getting

608
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: Lonzo in the hand and hand over the keys. Successful

609
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: me with my boys every time the games we played,

610
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: the exhibition games, a little winner. Every time my coach,

611
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: we don't lose. But yet you see this and you

612
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: don't want my boys to do that? JJ inspired, believe

613
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: in Mello. Go on, do what you're gonna do. Whoever

614
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: believes in my sons are gonna be successful. And that's

615
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to tell him. After the first game Lonzo. Ever,

616
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: but oh, Petrick BILDI did in Patrick Bella ain't did nothing.

617
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: Look what happened the second game, Lonzo played the Phoenix,

618
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: did his thing, and that's when I thought we was cool.

619
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: But then you start taking him a line after the

620
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,959
Speaker 1: six minutes of the first quarter, and you got all

621
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: these other people. You're trying to figure out combinations and

622
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: bringing the ball up. And now you've got Lonzo who

623
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: used to play in the whole game you spot playing.

624
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: Now you're getting injured because he's playing one hundred miles

625
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: an hour. Then he's sitting down, sit down for six

626
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: or five minutes. It's sitting down like thirty minutes in

627
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: the NBA, right, So now you're killing his body. He

628
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: used to play in one hundred miles an hour and

629
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: not sitting down. How about you drive your car one

630
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty miles an hour and get off the

631
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: freeway and turn it off real quick. Some hoses is

632
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: gonna bust the same thing with your body. So, like

633
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: I'm saying, is people ask me where I want mild him, though,

634
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: I said, to a person who's gonna believe in I'm

635
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: a coach who gonna let him rock and do is that?

636
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: And watch what the success that comes with that. Do

637
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: you like what they're building in New Orleans? You like

638
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: Lonzo Brandon, ingram of Zion Williams Williams things. They can

639
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: do what they want. But like I said, my thing

640
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: is different, and you know what that is. I want

641
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: all my boys, if all other boys go to Charlotte

642
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: and do their thing, they're playing for the greatest of

643
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: all time, something they dad has been telling them from

644
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: day one. Somebody got to be better than Jordan. Now

645
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna look up to him so big and bad

646
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: and be like, Mike, you know we're gonna do for you,

647
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: make you the coldest owner in the NBA, and you're

648
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: gonna win this championship because I'm telling you that between

649
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: three and five years my boys will win a championship

650
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: altogether at Charlotte on the fact they're gonna figure that

651
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: combination out. When one of them lose, they all lose,

652
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: and they're not liking about that losing thing, and they're

653
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: gonna make him the baddest owner ever because like I said,

654
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: he recognized greatness, and greatness is all three of my

655
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: boys together, not because I'm saying, oh, LaVar is with

656
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: the family to get no, because I know how they

657
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: can play the one, two and three, switch on everything,

658
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: pass that ball ahead and have no ego problem. You

659
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: got Lonzo in the NBA. You got Mellow in the

660
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: NBA has yellow than the G League? Yellow league. Wait,

661
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: where's he at now? Yellow in the league by myself?

662
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: It's man, The NBA door has closed when Melo did

663
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: When Melo did so, I said, loans, all of us

664
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: get on the bus when the door close. We could

665
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: How do you go? How do you how do you get?

666
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: How you get yellow? Up to the to the big,

667
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: to the big, to the big, to the big show,

668
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: Jello to the big show. On this man, here's the thing.

669
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: Jello got to the G League with no representation, no nothing.

670
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: So now you got the representation. Do yeng job. Give

671
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: my son to the gut name try out or whatever

672
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: camp and want him go do his own thing. He

673
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: got the name, he got the body, he got both

674
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: of his legs working. He's been working out. Hey. But

675
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: see if somebody else was trying to get in the

676
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: league and working out with the number one pick, that

677
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: would be a big story. But Jello been working out

678
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: with Velo and Jermaine the number one pick all this

679
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: time he were working out with Lonzo every day. So

680
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: it's like Jello's already in situation. Don't think I'm gonna

681
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: have three boys in the same household and one of

682
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: them gonna be like, you know what, I ain't gonna

683
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: make it. I don't feel like working out today. They

684
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: cut off from the same cloth and everything they say,

685
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: Mellow Zoe came to them. Jello can do. Oh, you

686
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: gotta get stronger. You gotta get a better jump shot.

687
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: Jello shoot better than both of 'em, and he bigger

688
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: and stronger than both of 'em. So bigger, stronger, is

689
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna be. I don't know if they're gonna be

690
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: a summer league. Is theyre gonna have enough time for

691
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: a summer league. You don't even need a summer league.

692
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: Check this out. You got Alonzo and you got Mellow.

Speaker 1: You got two book ins yellow in the middle. Don't

00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: think that the representation or whatever can't say, excuse me,

695
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,360

699
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: get Jello a tryout or something, and I thought, you

00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: want putting the door. His foot gonna be in the door.

701
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,040

Speaker 1: can go to any franchise right now and watch how

703
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: the franchise blows up. Why his last name is Ball.

705
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: can shoot at a high clip. So what I'm saying

Speaker 1: to use that as a vehicle, right, And that's and

782
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: that's and that's what I did to get to get

783
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,879
Speaker 1: where I'm at, but to understand. I understand that ownership, man,

784
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: and that's a huge thing. But where did I'm exactly

785
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: where I'm supposed to be? Where did these entrepreneurial skills

786
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: come from? I mean, who owns who? Who owned the

787
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: business that you knew? Because a lot of times we

788
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: have nobody, nobody I can I can look at that

789
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: by looking at my mom and dad, and and they

790
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: mom and daddy, everybody in the workforce. Man, I don't

791
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: want to be a no workforce. I see what they're doing.

792
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: Oh hey, do something in a certain way, and I

793
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: don't like the way it looks. I'm gonna go another

794
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 1: way and do something my way. And that's exactly what

795
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: I did. Now, if you just normal, what do people

796
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: work for? Man, I'll tell you what they work for.

797
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: Two things, how snowing are no play some professional sports.

798
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 1: Get both of those and guess what, You're on your way. Now.

799
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about the house, knowing the car,

800
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 1: No use the money that you made playing them sports

801
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: to go ahead and pay for that, and guess what.

802
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 1: Now you're good. Now you can find something that you

803
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: want to do on your own. Now if you don't

804
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 1: want to listen to nobody. Guess what, don't be talking crazy,

805
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: and you're working under somebody and let you go anytime.

806
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 1: So when you create your own thing, which I've always thought,

807
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: you know, these athletes are doing all the running and

808
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: jumping in the shoe, but yet they don't own anything.

809
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: So when it's all said and done, guess what, when

810
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: that money ain't coming in no more, it's not coming

811
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: in no more because you don't own anything. And that's

812
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 1: why I try to explain to my boys, if you

813
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: want to be a billionaire, you have to be which

814
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 1: what they are triple bees. That's ownership that all my

815
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 1: boys have. If you don't own nothing, and don't get

816
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: mad like some of these folks do, Lebron, you're only

817
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: worth four hundred million, Kobe six hundred million. That's so

818
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: far away from a billion because all the billionaires own something.

819
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 1: If you don't have the ownership, you're never gonna get

820
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: to a bill where they're gonna get the But Lebron

821
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: will get to a bill. I don't know how well

822
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: he got. He got. He got the the tequila. Now

823
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: he got a couple of things. He got, He got

824
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: the the production company. Hey tell me where the production company? Okay,

825
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: do you outright on it? Now? There's some percentages and

826
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: some other investors in that thing to give you a

827
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: little you gotta got. Okay, you can try to make

828
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,320
Speaker 1: it to a billion. It's gonna be cute if you do.

829
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: But if you don't own it, you ain't making it

830
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: to no billion. I just got to tell y'all that

831
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: it's just how I go the bar. You can we crawl.

832
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you didn't listen. As much as you want

833
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: people to believe, you didn't come out of the wound walking.

834
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: You had to crawl first. You had to stand up

835
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: a little bit and followed down above the head. You

836
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: had to crawl before you start walking. And then you

837
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 1: take off running. Well, I hate to tell you something.

838
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: I didn't want to get my knees dirty. So now

839
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: I was little, I'll learn how to stand up real quick.

840
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: And all I did was holding on the stuff and slide,

841
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: so I never did no crawling might mess up my

Speaker 1: So I'm but hey, if I would have went to

937
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: a combine, if I would have went to a combine,

938
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: I would have been probably in the NFL longer to

939
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 1: more people to see me. The chest was the only

940
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: ones to see me. Man Like I said, I didn't

941
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: know nothing about how they test and stuff like that.

942
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: They had two twenty on the bar. I did it

943
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: twenty times standing up behind the neck, just to warm up,

944
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: because I said, I warm them up with two twenty

945
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: standing up doing dressess like this. And then they asked

946
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: me on the bench. Man, we had it. They had

947
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: me do a bitch press test, but they put three

948
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 1: plates on there. So I did it twenty times and

949
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 1: thinking that was a good amount of numbers, and was like.

950
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 1: The next closest dude was I think Alignment back at

951
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 1: my time, and then was Dwayne White, I think, but

952
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 1: he was had his short arms. He only did ten.

953
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, dudes, is rick. I was benching

954
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 1: five hundred. They was in awe and I was jumping

955
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 1: out the gym. You know. It was nothing to me

956
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: as far as just being a talented athlete. It was easy.

957
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: And what happened. Pete Carroll is a is a rarod guy.

958
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: He more of a coach footage for college. Yes, and

959
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 1: that's why I cut him coming in there. He believed

960
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: in me. Man, if he would have still been there,

961
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 1: I would have still been pright with the Jets. He

962
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: was like, man, you can play tight end, defensive end.

963
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 1: You just a talent. And once I learned that the

964
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: schemes and the terminology because I was like a dude

965
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: coming fresh out of high school straight pro. I didn't

966
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: play no football on college, so I don't know the

967
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: terminology suckers using. And once I learned all that stuff,

968
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 1: and they bringing Rich coach Ipe Now rich coach, I

969
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: do the drafting. And it's how political it is. He

970
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: drafted the dude out of Penn State, which is Kyle Brady.

971
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 1: Now was around that boy. Johnny Mitchell came out as

972
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,879
Speaker 1: big as me. He can't run like me. He from Nebraska. Yeah,

973
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 1: you come from these big names. But if you don't

974
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:11,359
Speaker 1: get these guys these reps, and I'm unknown and I'm

975
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: in here doing my thing, the dudes who picked that

976
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: other guy gonna lose their job. Right. So now I'm

977
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: not getting the reps and I'm not doing this and

978
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:20,879
Speaker 1: I'm learning the defensively and tight end but my tight

979
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 1: end coach and end up going to the Carolina Panthers, right.

980
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: And then when he went over there, he got me

981
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,359
Speaker 1: over there. Hey, I made that a little bit of money,

982
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 1: and I said, I'm gone. I'm good now. I made enough.

983
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:32,839
Speaker 1: I can buy a house and everything I've got good now,

984
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: m Lebar, you caught a lot of criticism. Tell us

985
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,800
Speaker 1: about your parenting style, because here myself, it's not about

986
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:46,359
Speaker 1: the kids. It's about Labar promoting Lamar Labar. Tell us

987
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: about your parenting style. Well, that's what everybody want to say. Man,

988
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,800
Speaker 1: But if you have something that you created, tell me

989
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: you're not gonna talk about it. You make the cake,

990
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: You're gonna be like man, I put the best ingredients.

991
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: It's the best kick. I give you a scenario, Man,

992
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 1: if you ever ate a chocolate chip, chocolate chip cookie.

993
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:05,879
Speaker 1: The famous one is who famous amos? That boy took

994
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 1: it stuff to parties and promoted like that, and then

995
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:09,959
Speaker 1: you know it's the best chocolate chip cookie in the world.

996
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: But that's the same thing I did with my boys.

997
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: I could invest in some real escat and some other things.

998
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. I wanted to invest

999
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 1: millions of dollars. If you add it all up and

1000
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: to my boys something that's mine. I'll tell you what

1001
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 1: to save money. You'll probably paint your own house, do

1002
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: your own thing if you ain't got no money, or

1003
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 1: first do it, and you're gonna do a hell of

1004
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: a job. People w come in there and say, man,

1005
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 1: can you do mine? You'd be like to make some money,

1006
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 1: you probably say yeah, But then you'd be like, I

1007
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: don't know if it's gonna be as good as mine,

1008
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 1: because I put my work twenty four hours to make

1009
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 1: a different mine. That's the same thing. Don't get mad

1010
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:43,800
Speaker 1: at me that I do that with my boys. So

1011
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: I expect the best out of them. Why because I

1012
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,839
Speaker 1: put the best time into them. But I'm never gonna

1013
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: be like I took an element out of my boys

1014
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 1: that creates I'm gonna tell you what you do. Not

1015
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,720
Speaker 1: go to Beverly Hills or a Thousand Oaks or Cheeno

1016
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 1: Hill to get no killers. All the killers come from

1017
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: the ghetto. They have to come from nothing, right. I

1018
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 1: never was like, hey son, I need you guys, And

1019
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 1: this is all the pressure they put on a lot

1020
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 1: of the youngsters. Hurry up and get us out of

1021
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 1: this situation that we're in. But I don't need my

1022
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 1: boys and make the league so I can get out

1023
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 1: of Chino Hills. I mean all these hills and all

1024
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 1: these swimming pools. You gotta get us away from this.

1025
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 1: So the money is not the thing. Everybody that's in

1026
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 1: the draft need some money. They got to get it

1027
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: from these agents and all this stuff to get started

1028
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: because they've never had it before. So how do you

1029
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 1: make this guy be like oh man? A lot of

1030
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: them is playing for the money mine I told me

1031
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: born to go pro and the only thing on their

1032
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: mind is being better than Jordan. And it ain't about

1033
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: the money. You say you touched on something just a

1034
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 1: minute ago. Yes, because they said, well, Labar come from

1035
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 1: upper middle class and if kids are spoiled because they

1036
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 1: had swimming pools they had, I mean they're getting Ferrari.

1037
00:48:56,320 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: They're getting Lamborghinis. So how they how do they know

1038
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: what it's like to be hungry? How do they know

1039
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 1: what it's like to go without. I'll tell you what.

1040
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 1: If I see some fire come up and you said

1041
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 1: it's hot, I don't need to go get burnt to

1042
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:15,280
Speaker 1: make sure it is hot. It's the same thing. Okay,

1043
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,839
Speaker 1: my boys, I can tell them about it. Here's the thing,

1044
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 1: the mentality that's around my boys. I don't need them

1045
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 1: to take them to South Central to see all that.

1046
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: They're living in Chino Hills. But the mentality is from

1047
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 1: a dude from La South Central. Right, mellow is hanging

1048
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 1: with Jermaine. Jamaine is from the hood of Detroit. His

1049
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: mentality is different. Now you're saying, don't be mad at me.

1050
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: If you win a lot or you're gonna go out

1051
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 1: and buy the most crazy car you probably gonna buy. Yeah,

1052
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 1: and if you can afford to give him that, give

1053
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: him that. But now see, my boys ain't get into

1054
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 1: the league. Said, oh that's some money Ferrari, I guess it.

1055
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: So that don't drive him. They just want to be

1056
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 1: the best ever. If you want to be the best ever,

1057
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 1: all the materialistic things don't matter, so it's not a

1058
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: big thing. But they're not spoiled the fact that this

1059
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 1: is what I told my boys. You're gonna work hard,

1060
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: whether you do it in the beginning or the end.

1061
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,839
Speaker 1: And everybody said, oh, Novoy, I don't let his kids

1062
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: be no guy damned kids. Let him go to the

1063
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 1: prom with him. Yeah, all them people to go to

1064
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 1: the prime. They ain't millionaires like my boys. They're running hard,

1065
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: running in hills. That's when they work hard. Don't have

1066
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 1: all these parties and go to the prime. And now

1067
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 1: you're trying to make ends, meeting at the end of

1068
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: your day. You're trying to get a job, go to

1069
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 1: college and see where you're gonna be at. I got

1070
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 1: three boys. None of them has asked me for money.

1071
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 1: They're youngest hell, and they're all millionaires. So what's bad

1072
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 1: in that you were trending earlier because you was on

1073
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: another show and you told you boys, you're not gonna

1074
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 1: meet anybody while you're playing in the NBA. You're gonna

1075
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 1: meet the garden tool. Yeah, yeah, why why even I'm

1076
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: just keeping it real. I don't want to say garden

1077
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 1: tools and hope, but you're not gonna meet basically your

1078
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 1: wife while you're playing in the NBA. That's what I said.

1079
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 1: Here's the thing you have to you gotta understand this.

1080
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 1: There's two ends the spectrum. Sometimes where it's good on

1081
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: this end, you don't see where it's bad at this end. Right,

1082
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 1: here's my thing, which I always say, it's fun in

1083
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: the beginning, but it's pain in the end. Whatever you do.

1084
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna give you a scenario. Why I said that.

1085
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,320
Speaker 1: My wife said, what do you mean? It's not even LaVar,

1086
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 1: So what are you saying about us? I said, hey,

1087
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 1: listen to this. Me and you married. It's gonna be fun.

1088
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:26,360
Speaker 1: It's all fun, this whole journey. But the pain is

1089
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 1: at the end because one of us got to die first,

1090
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 1: so they go to pain. Okay, Now with my boys

1091
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: in their profession. When you meet somebody shan and you know,

00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: I married just a tall line that wasn't gonna work.

1141
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: You had to be a basketball player, because even when

1142
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 1: I got on the boys, they would score thirty and

1143
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: forty points and we'll lose by one or two. They

1144

1163
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 1: on that girl the coolest one in the game. You

1164
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:17,840
Speaker 1: you you speak a lot about ownership, and you mentioned

1165
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 1: earlier about these guys getting these deals. And some of

1166
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:23,800
Speaker 1: these guys get deals, you know, five years, fifty million,

1167
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: five years, you know, one hundred million. James Harden has

1168
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 1: a two hundred million dollars contract. Katie got a three

1169
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars contract. But you said ownership, why is

1170
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 1: it you didn't a loot? I mean they're grown now

1171
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 1: to get go with Puma or Nike? What what is

1172
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 1: it that you you know what if they feeling still there,

1173
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 1: listen'll give your own you Okay, I'm the only one

1174
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:48,760
Speaker 1: to come in the NBA with his own brand because

1175
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 1: I've seen all the guys with his endorsement deals and

1176
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 1: they don't want the big ball to brand to work

1177
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 1: because if it does, gonna start changing a lot of

1178
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:56,799
Speaker 1: thinking with a lot of guys. People used to say,

1179
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 1: just like, be honest, you can't get a so called

1180
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:01,799
Speaker 1: signature unless you play what seven years in the league

1181
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 1: and you finally become a championship or you make an

1182
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 1: All Star game. Now I got these folks looking at

1183
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:09,800
Speaker 1: him like, hold up, where's my signature shoe? On the

1184
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:11,800
Speaker 1: fact that Jello got one and he not even in

1185
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,400
Speaker 1: the league. Mellow got one in high school. So what

1186
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 1: do y'all tell me about a signature shoe? And what

1187
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 1: these guys don't understand is you have enough money to

1188
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 1: go and make your own god damgn shop, but you won't.

1189
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 1: They take the lid off the draw. We can jump out,

1190
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 1: but the job been on so long the top they

1191
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 1: don't even try. So now you got guys like you know,

1192
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 1: a couple of the big time players crying to get

1193
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 1: in endorsement and say, I hope they make me a

1194
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 1: signature shoe. I hope they sign me. Why you're a

1195
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar man, go do your own. Even if

1196
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:45,400
Speaker 1: you're just sell them in your hometown, at least you

1197
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:48,400
Speaker 1: have an ownership. See, the thing is levard the differences

1198
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: between the way you think and the way they think.

1199
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,280
Speaker 1: You're not a faith to take that leap of faith

1200
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 1: and go out there and fail and say, well, if

1201
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 1: I failed it this, I'll try something else. Then for

1202
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 1: those guys. They're not they're afraid to fail. You're not.

1203
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 1: Here's the thing that's probably it. And it's not even

1204
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:07,880
Speaker 1: about failing. You can do it for a little bit.

1205
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: It's just like people talk about, oh the big boy

1206
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:13,279
Speaker 1: to brand, ain't man, let me tell y'all something. It

1207
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: ain't got nothing to do with the boys. If they

1208
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 1: don't want to do it, if I don't want to

1209
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 1: do it, it's shut down. And it's not like I

1210
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:22,439
Speaker 1: have blinders on for all these years, just worrying about

1211
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 1: my boys getting to the league right closing close these

1212
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 1: things for me too much time. But the blinders on.

1213
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 1: Now the blinders is off. So it ain't liking some

1214
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 1: people in the gap bang NBA to say, levard, I

1217
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 1: a triple B man. I ain't got no deal. I

1218
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: ain't got no shoot deal, ain't got nothing. But now

1219
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 1: I'm go out and talk to these guys because guess what,

1220
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: I got all three of my boys in the NBA.

1221
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 1: Now we can do some other things. So that's where

1222
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:53,840
Speaker 1: I'm that. So where because where the where's the big

1223
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 1: ball of brand hu At Now, if Lonzo gonna wear

1224
00:57:56,960 --> 00:58:00,120
Speaker 1: Big Ball of Brand, if you're going to Nike, Puma, Adidas, me,

1225
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 1: what are they gonna do. They're gonna do the same

1226
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 1: thing and they can do whatever they want. Here's the

1227
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 1: thing with Big Ball of Brand you have independence, which

1228
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 1: is that's going to allow you to wear any shoe

1229
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 1: you want, which is not the case for who right now, Mellow,

1230
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 1: you sign a deal, you better wear them, put them

1231
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: as wherever you go right now. Hey, don't think I

1232
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 1: ain't gonna make no more Big Ball of Brand shoes.

1233
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:27,400
Speaker 1: We're doing that as we speak. But we're gonna come

1234
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: out with him when we want to. Now, Jello Jellos

1235
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:32,920
Speaker 1: may come on, that's what I do these shoes. When

1236
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 1: Jello creates these other shoes, he's gonna make and Lonzo

1237
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 1: can do the same thing. But when you sign these

1238
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 1: deals and they cap you off, just say, yo, this

1239
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 1: is the only shoe you can wear. A lot of

1240
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 1: the people have been through it. Look who's with Puma

1241
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: before Vince Carter? How long he stayed with him. So

1242
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 1: it ain't like they can't change and do some other things.

1243
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 1: It's the same thing, and it's it's not a big deal.

1244
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 1: But like I said, we don't have no shoe made

1245
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 1: right now. We're doing some other things, but we're gonna

1246
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 1: come back to the world and guess what, my boys

1247
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 1: getting their NBA and do their thing. Who knows Melo

1248
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 1: might be like, you know what, I had enough of these.

1249
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 1: Let me get them back. Dad. Your NB one is

1250
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 1: always over here, son, your G three's is always over here,

1251
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,919
Speaker 1: and your ZEO two's are always over here no matter

1252
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 1: what they do. What Lonzo left Lonzo with Rock Nation,

1253
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:22,520
Speaker 1: he left Rock Nation and with the Clutch Sport? Are

1254
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 1: your Clutch Sports? Are you okay with that? Here's the thing.

1255
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 1: I's gonna do whatever he wants, just like Melo and

1256
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 1: Gello can do whatever they want. And you got two

1257
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 1: of the biggest, you know, black representations. You got Rock Nation,

1258
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 1: you got Clutch Sports. What do they have in common?

1259
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:41,600
Speaker 1: Each one of them got my sons, and I'm at

1260
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:45,240
Speaker 1: the peak it at. So I'm gonna bring both agencies together.

1261
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 1: Let's do something together. Hey represent both and represent them all.

1262
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 1: Let's do it. As long as you get done would

1263
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 1: need to be done, that's good. Do you believe Do

1264
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 1: you believe Lonzo lost anything by not signing a huge

1265
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 1: deal out of college waiting for you or could you

1266
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 1: have waited to build the brand because the things like

1267
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 1: you No, no, no, no no. Here's the thing, Lonzo,

1268
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 1: it is what it is. Lonzo is the only one

1269
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 1: to come in the NBA with his own signature shoe

1270
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 1: coming in the NBA. He's a history maker. Lonzo got

1271
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 1: his own shoe right. We can make another one right

1272
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 1: now if you want it. Lonzo ain't lost nothing. Here's

1273
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 1: the thing, Lonzo, don't care about nothing. But my thing

1274
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:26,600
Speaker 1: is this. If you have a passion to do something

1275
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: and you happen to get paid doing it, you're winning.

1276
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 1: You got a big mouth and you love to talk.

1277
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 1: They paying you all just to come in on some stuff.

1278
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:36,479
Speaker 1: You used to do that on your porch, talking about

1279
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: people and people on the street. Now you getting paid me.

1280
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 1: It's a dollar to sit there and talk about a

1281
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 1: game or a player or whatever. That's what you love

1282
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 1: to do, and it's natural to you. So guess what,

1283
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 1: you had a passion to talk to us while you're

1284
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 1: still on the air. A lot of these folks hain't.

1285
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 1: They don't have that type of flare that you had

1286
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 1: that creates that Oh let me look at me and

1287
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 1: you argue a little bit. I'd say that Shannon Sharp

1288
01:00:57,440 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 1: ain't a god damn thing, and then we come back

1289
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 1: and do some things. But you know, here's the thing.

1290
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:04,920
Speaker 1: You're good at what you do. The boys good at

1291
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:07,480
Speaker 1: what they do, and that's that's all that matters. Because

1292
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 1: you got everything and they like you. Like, man, I

1293
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: gotta make me some more money so I can try

1294
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 1: to do this. That's why they got Sha Sha Club.

1295
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:14,800
Speaker 1: Look at it. You tell him if they push sh

1296
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 1: Sha Club on the on the on the big thing,

1297
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 1: he said, man, I gotta have my own thing call

1298
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 1: the Sha Shake. If uh, if Big Ball are gonna

1299
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 1: gonna collab with Brand Jordan, am I gonna collab with

1300
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 1: Brand Jordan? No I was gonna do. I was gonna

1301
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 1: do a collab before, but I was like, nah, I

1302
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 1: like to own my stuff. What I mean by that

1303
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 1: is when you have a collab, this is what happens.

1304
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 1: You have to agree, and I have to agree what

1305
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:44,439
Speaker 1: we're gonna have right now, it's just about what Big Ball.

1306
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 1: I want, what he liked, and I don't have to

1307
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 1: collab him. I was gonna think about doing that with

1308
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 1: with with Puma, So then I got to think and

1309
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I don't want to

1310
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 1: collab now. I just want to keep my own thing.

1311
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 1: And that's it. It's a privately own company. I don't

1312
01:01:57,320 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 1: have no say soul with nobody investors trying to come

1313
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 1: get in. I say no, I'm my own dude. So

1314
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:05,440
Speaker 1: that's what it is gonna be. And I'm gonna building

1315
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 1: myself and only investment that I want investors. I'm ever

1316
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 1: gonna have all my sons. And usually you got one

1317
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 1: person make the NBA. They got their one money. But

1318
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 1: from our ball family, we got money coming in four ways.

1319
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 1: Me and Tina, the boys each got their own lane. Yeah,

1320
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:25,600
Speaker 1: three players is gonna be in the NBA. So when

1321
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 1: we put all that money together. Now, if I want

1322
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 1: to create something and it costs me twenty meal and

1323
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 1: I only got thirty meal, it might put a little

1324
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 1: din on me. But if I say, you know what,

1325
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 1: let me get five meal from Linzo, five meal from Jello,

1326
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:41,520
Speaker 1: five meal from a mellow, and put my five, we

1327
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 1: got a twenty meal, Nobody stretched out right. So togetherness

1328
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna allow us to move as a huge UNI.

1329
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:51,200
Speaker 1: And that's what I'm trying to make everybody on the

1330
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 1: outside understand about big bowl of brand is if I

1331
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 1: kind ever get together, it's gonna be dangerous. What have

1332
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 1: you learned most about running a business being an owner

1333
01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 1: of a business, Well, what I've learned most is, man,

1334
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:05,400
Speaker 1: don't let one person do all the work, or don't

1335
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 1: let one person feel that they can do all the work.

1336
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 1: And you get a better team around you that allows

1337
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:13,439
Speaker 1: you to move at a better place. And that's what's

1338
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 1: going on now. It's not about how many people you

1339
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 1: got around you. It's the right people to write that

1340
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 1: allows you to be successful. But you also, I think

1341
01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:24,440
Speaker 1: to be successful in anything, there's always got to be

1342
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 1: a change. It just can't flow one way. And when

1343
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:29,440
Speaker 1: what it is, you learn different things when you when

1344
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:31,680
Speaker 1: you start going further and further, and you're going to

1345
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 1: have to make change because the world changes all the time,

1346
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 1: so you have to go with that. What would you

1347
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:39,120
Speaker 1: do if you could do anything over again? Nothing, because

1348
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be where I'm at and everybody wouldn't be.

1349
01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 1: So take one thing out of the thing and try

1350
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,440
Speaker 1: to do it all different and guess what, everything changes.

1351
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 1: So in order for nothing to change and to keep

1352
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 1: moving forward, keep everything the saying you would you wouldn't

1353
01:03:51,360 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 1: change one thing. I wouldn't change nothing one fet this.

1354
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you for what it will changed. Let's

1355
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 1: say I get Pete Carroll stage with the Jets, big

1356
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 1: baller plays ten years in the NFL. You won't even

1357
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 1: hear about my boys because I have so much money,

1358
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 1: I don't have no time to train them. All I'm

1359
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:18,200
Speaker 1: gonna do is wait for the off season so I

1360
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 1: can train myself to make sure we keep getting these

1361
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 1: large checks. And I have all this money and give

1362
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 1: you all whatever you want right now. I don't spend

1363
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 1: all this time with you to make you the coldest

1364
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 1: and get in your mind that you're gonna be the

1365
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:31,080
Speaker 1: best ever. So now you don't even hear about the boys.

1366
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:33,919
Speaker 1: That's why people get mad at me when I said, Wow,

1367
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 1: these these guys that are super athletes, that are superstars,

1368
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 1: their kids don't turn out to be that cold. On

1369
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 1: the fact that how you get too much already not

1370
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:46,160
Speaker 1: too much, but you don't have a drive that where

1371
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 1: your mom and pops came from to get where you

1372
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 1: had to get you out of that situation. If but

1373
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:54,960
Speaker 1: when you talk about aid when you got a great player,

1374
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 1: your father is great. I'm talking about historically offending great.

1375
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:03,160
Speaker 1: What's the like of you having a transcendent or a

1376
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:07,280
Speaker 1: great son or daughter. It's not likely the Goddy's gonna

1377
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 1: give you a lot of He didn't let you hit

1378
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 1: a lot of me like that. And let me let

1379
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 1: me explain this to you so you can really understand.

1380
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 1: I was one of the world's greatest athletest nobody know about.

1381
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 1: Some of my boys have no expectation to do That's

1382
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 1: why they're so great. Yes, yeah, because now now look

1383
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 1: at me. You got Michael Jordan's sons. You've got magic sons,

1384
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 1: you got everybody got sons, man, and they expect their son. Yes,

1385
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 1: you put that high expectation on them, but really that

1386
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 1: son they expected me the most powerful, dominant center in

1387
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 1: the world. That's not his game and that's not his

1388
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:41,040
Speaker 1: His mind frame is not even like that. So everybody

1389
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 1: trying to get from under that situation to say, oh,

1390
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:45,320
Speaker 1: you just like your dad. But if you don't have

1391
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:47,640
Speaker 1: that expectation coming at you and your dad is good,

1392
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:50,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell your person, just like Dale Curry, it

1393
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 1: wasn't like I say, you know what, let me turn

1394
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:54,320
Speaker 1: on this TV so I can see how great of

1395
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 1: a shooter Dale Curry is. No, that's why he hanging

1396
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:00,640
Speaker 1: with Steph. I mean, that's why steps such a good sugar.

1397
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 1: Dad was Okay, he wasn't, no greatest approach. Step is

1398
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 1: now right. And the same thing I said about jelly Bean, Brad.

1399
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 1: He was good overseas. But your son Kobe was a ship,

1400
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 1: but you was. I ain't gonna say it saying it

1401
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:16,240
Speaker 1: bad like he was a scrub or nothing like that. No,

1402
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 1: you made it. But look where you took him to

1403
01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 1: play and Italy grown men. You allowed him to get

1404
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 1: in situations that a regular kid couldn't. So guess what

1405
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 1: he gonna become that superstar. Your hometown team, Lakers win

1406
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 1: the championship. Are you surprised they had this level of

1407
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 1: success this soon? Dad, No, they in the bubble. In

1408
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 1: the bubble, all this stuff goes right. But like I

1409
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 1: told him, they need to send me a thank you

1410
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:43,000
Speaker 1: card on the fact that I gave him and send

1411
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 1: it to win. Well, whatever I have, I ever win.

1412
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 1: You know, they was talking about that for a whole year.

1413
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:52,080
Speaker 1: What did you say last year? Somebody, remember that's how

1414
01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 1: I've been living in people's head. And you know what,

1415
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:56,280
Speaker 1: just so they can say I told you he was wrong.

1416
01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:58,280
Speaker 1: I still go to bed, take me in that eat

1417
01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:01,040
Speaker 1: my doughnuts, and I don't think about nothing. They kem

1418
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:03,280
Speaker 1: thinking about this, so for a whole year. Hey, I'm

1419
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:05,440
Speaker 1: glad they want Lakers. Is always my team because I'm

1420
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:08,280
Speaker 1: from LA. But the success that they had, Man, you're

1421
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 1: in the bubble, playing in the same place. You got

1422
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:13,520
Speaker 1: the two best players, you're supposed to win. But everybody

1423
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:15,400
Speaker 1: else is playing in the bubble too, so it made

1424
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:18,400
Speaker 1: it easy. I'm talking about the situation. You're not traveling.

1425
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 1: Everything is is perfect. Hey, you shoot and get a

1426
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:23,560
Speaker 1: rid of them on a certain round. You you're good.

1427
01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 1: You ain't gotta lead the building, right. Oh, you walk

1428
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:27,840
Speaker 1: to the next little thing, then you're walking in a

1429
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:30,280
Speaker 1: traveling Come on, everybody else in the bubble too. But yeah,

1430
01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:33,960
Speaker 1: I'm glad they had a championship. And these guys are Oh,

1431
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna play. I'm not gonna do this. Nah,

1432
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 1: play and have a championship and let's go. Are you

1433
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 1: surprised how well Lebron is playing this latest career because

1434
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:47,920
Speaker 1: we've never seen anybody played this well in basketball, you

1435
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:49,960
Speaker 1: don't want to see anybody played this well this late.

1436
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 1: Why because he built. That boy came in the game

1437
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 1: strong and heavy. He durable. He ain't on a little

1438
01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 1: lightweight too, five two thirteen, two teen. Oh. He can

1439
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:04,000
Speaker 1: take that contact, that running and that he can do

1440
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 1: it all. And he young. He's old, but he young.

1441
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you know you're still you probably was. You

1442
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:13,040
Speaker 1: might not dunk again, but I think you probably dunk

1443
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:16,800
Speaker 1: when you probably foty eight. Well, it ain't the problem

1444
01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:19,960
Speaker 1: getting up. It's the problem that's coming down. That's the problem.

1445
01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, you're still in good shape, you're strong,

1446
01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:25,080
Speaker 1: you still can do some things. On the fact that

1447
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:28,000
Speaker 1: Lebron ain't that little skinny thing that is that you're

1448
01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:31,880
Speaker 1: running into him and he getting hurt. Durant and Clay

1449
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:35,200
Speaker 1: and they're not built like him, so he everybody's shot.

1450
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:39,040
Speaker 1: He's strong, but but he built. What I mean by that,

1451
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:42,880
Speaker 1: he ain't that overweight like I'm seven and feet three

1452
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:46,000
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty right, that boy, you know, two fifty

1453
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:48,240
Speaker 1: two sixty six nine, running and jumping and he take

1454
01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:51,120
Speaker 1: care of his body. I'm not shocked. Whoever the strongest

1455
01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:53,479
Speaker 1: in the league gonna do the best. That's why when

1456
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:55,479
Speaker 1: Will did this thing, he was the strongest in the league.

1457
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:58,759
Speaker 1: When when when the shot did the strongest in the league,

1458
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 1: that's two guards was was Dwayne waiting for him any

1459
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:04,479
Speaker 1: because he was the strongest two guard. That's point guard

1460
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:07,920
Speaker 1: was the strength of him was de Rose back the

1461
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 1: day when it was good. He was powerful. Anybody who

1462
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 1: powerful and they in their position, it's usually gonna be

1463
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 1: the best. Well, this debate about who's the goat ever

1464
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:22,960
Speaker 1: in between Lebron and Jordan or who's your goal? How

1465
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:25,640
Speaker 1: do we how do we determine that? What we never

1466
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:27,559
Speaker 1: gonna be able to determine it. That's why we gotta

1467
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:29,280
Speaker 1: keep talking about it, because you never can go back

1468
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:30,960
Speaker 1: into that ror and be like, Yo, this is what

1469
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:33,559
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. It's what people did in those errors.

1470
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 1: You know what, it's who you grow up on. I

1471
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:39,000
Speaker 1: mean to do the stuff that Lebron does. Nobody been

1472
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:41,720
Speaker 1: that big and stress like saying okay, karme alone, I

1473
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:43,360
Speaker 1: need you go out there and play point. That ain't

1474
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:45,880
Speaker 1: never happen because they don't have the skills like that.

1475
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 1: It's the same thing magic you big, but you ain't

1476
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 1: too sixty like Lebron, you ain't jumping like that. Now,

1477
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:54,719
Speaker 1: as far as that player built like that, he's a monster.

1478
01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:57,840
Speaker 1: But the greatest of all time is how do you

1479
01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 1: measure that? You measure that by your victor East and

1480
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:02,920
Speaker 1: what you did in those victories. I ain't talking about

1481
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:05,839
Speaker 1: you got twelve rings and you've been on five different teams.

1482
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:08,360
Speaker 1: I'm talking about a dude who went to the finals,

1483
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 1: who was the main guy six times in a row.

1484
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:13,800
Speaker 1: And you can't if you can't beat that, when you

1485
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:16,560
Speaker 1: have losses on your on your on your record, you

1486
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:18,559
Speaker 1: can't be the greatest involve the time that dude ain't

1487
01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:21,920
Speaker 1: got no losses in the finals. So it's always gonna

1488
01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:24,960
Speaker 1: be Michael Jordan until my boys succeeded that, which is

1489
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Well, first of all, you can't just say

1490
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 1: it's all about the finals of the bar because they

1491
01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 1: did play finals in the season that he didn't go

1492
01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:35,679
Speaker 1: to the finals. What about that? Well, like I said,

1493
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:37,920
Speaker 1: the finals, if you don't get there off the hook,

1494
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 1: well you're not, dude, You're not off the hook. So

1495
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:42,200
Speaker 1: another word thing, what you did if you don't go

1496
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:43,759
Speaker 1: to the finals. But when you go to the finals.

1497
01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:47,600
Speaker 1: You gotta lose one. No, no, you going at it.

1498
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 1: That's from the West to lose, not one. He ain't

1499
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 1: beat nobody. Well, you can call nobody if you want to.

1500
01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:04,479
