Speaker 1: M hm hm. Welcome back all the smoke season four.

2
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 1: We got a good one today, Jack, one of the

3
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: best shooters ever to do it, but someone who also

4
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: doesn't talk that much. That's why it was important for

5
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: us to grab him. We got a little boat to

6
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: r I'm sure you guys have catched the b roll.

7
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: We got Rock in the building trying to find out

8
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: what's going on over here. But man, welcome to the show.

9
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: Clay Thompson. Clay, we appreciate you. Appreciate you. Man. Hey,

10
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 1: Clay's got his feet out too, so you know we're

11
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: about to get to the ship. That just means he

12
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: doesn't care like we're here. Beet kicked out, We're ready,

13
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: um Man, four time champ, five time All Star, arguably

14
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: one of the greatest shooters ever. Um. When you think

15
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: about where it all started towards that, now, what comes

16
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: to mind? Uh, the first thing is my brothers, because

17
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: without Mikey and Trace, I was very blessed to grow

18
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: up with two brothers. We're all close in age, within

19
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: two years of each other, and the battles you would

20
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: have playing one on one and anything, whether it's football, baseball, basketball, life,

21
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: first down the stairs, whatever, it was that's what really

22
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: molded me. And uh, you don't want to beat anyone

23
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: more than your brothers and one on one. So all

24
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: those competitive games through high school and then we just

25
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: love watching whoever was the Blazers and Lakers, Tray Steelers,

26
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: Mikey's Vikings, And that's the first thing it really comes

27
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: to mind as my family. I love it. So what

28
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: year is this for you? This is your twelve on

29
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: the books, your twelve? I mean, how I mean, how

30
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: is life? You know, obviously you came back after last season.

31
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to that. You gotta won a championship.

32
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: Now you're heading to the off season and year a twelve.

33
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: Life couldn't be any better, to be honest. So it's

34
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: like I'm looking through my fireplace at my boat right now.

35
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: It's crazy. God is so good. I'm healthy, I'm going

36
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: in defending a championship like I don't think. I mean,

37
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: there's always goals I have and things that could be better,

38
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: But right now I'm very content and just trying to

39
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: enjoy every day because this is big blessings. I mean,

40
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: the world knows, you know, with it. Two days? How

41
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: many days? One days? You were down. A lot of

42
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: highs are a lot of loads. At that point, coming

43
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: back was obviously a high. What is this past three

44
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: years kind of touch you? Um man, don't take anything

45
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: for granted. Uh, the bad days, the great days, the

46
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: game nights, the pre game naps, the travel days to

47
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: Okay see Indianapolis, especially the dog days, those are better

48
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: than where you were at, where I was at, you know,

49
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: And because watching is there's always it's just so uncomfortable

50
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: having to watch, especially your teammates go through their struggles

51
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: or take els and you are helpless. You're just watching

52
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: and you're just like, man, I swear I can do this,

53
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: this and that, and you know you won't be a

54
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: part of that journey. That season that was that was

55
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: not fun. But it just made me so grateful for

56
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: having just put my phone away in my lock. You're

57
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: not checking it for that four or five hour block

58
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: and just being a basketball player like there's nothing, it's

59
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: a dream. Really is something more I really enjoyed. No

60
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: matter how many how matter how big the boat I

61
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: get or bigger fish I catch. I don't think there

62
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: will be anything in life that can replace me just

63
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: doing what I love, and that's getting buckets getting buckets. Uh.

64
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: We voted this year on ESPN, like what was our

65
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: favorite part of the season, and mine was your comeback

66
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: and no doubt, but your first game, like I think

67
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: you had the world on edge because everyone thinks, you know,

68
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: Clay's the shooter. You were turning the corner and trying

69
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: to dunk it, dunking and getting tough lap. Like what

70
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: was it like that first game back? Man? That game

71
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: was It's it's arguably, I mean, for me, it was

72
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: probably like my favorite game my career really, first one back,

73
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: first one back, because I didn't know what to expect.

74
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: It didn't definitely the thing I was to catch two bodies.

75
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that. I was in Santa Cruz a

76
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: month earlier and it was tough to get to the cup.

77
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, man, I remember being this hard

78
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: like and it was just tough to dunk, you know.

79
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: I was like, get that momentum. But once you get

80
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: in front of the crowd like that and energy energy,

81
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: that was an out of body experience. I couldn't believe

82
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: I did that. I was like, you just feel the crowd,

83
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: you feel it. It It was and every time you touch

84
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: the ball and that was such a like built up day.

85
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: You know, it was two years I had all my

86
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: teammates rocking with the number eleven after me, So I

87
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: was like, I got live up to the hype. I

88
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: definitely shot my way out of it. You know, I

89
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: got up like eighteen shots. You're a high You're a

90
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: hired rifleman's supposed to do. That's what you're supposed to do.

91
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: Thoughts on that that that first dunk? Were you scared

92
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: in the process? Did even not even think about it? Like?

93
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: What was that? I think about it? That was the

94
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: best Honestly the best moment of my That was the

95
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: best moment I had a long time, obviously winning championships, whatever,

96
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: all Star games, but just dunking on two people. I

97
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: don't think there's not a better feeling basketball theyre dunking

98
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: on so like, and to do it first came back.

99
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: I just whenever I happened when I have a bad

100
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: day in the gym, I watched that clip. We're okay, possible,

101
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. Uh. Your team just got back from Japan.

102
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: How was that trip any any funny memorable stories or

103
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: how was the experience for you guys? It was amazing?

104
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: You know how much they love basketball on Asia. It's crazy.

105
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: It's like the world. It's like their sport over there.

106
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: And I don't get to play, but I got to

107
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: do a three point contest with Steph. And there's a

108
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: lot of pressure when you're shooting out there. You know,

109
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: you're across the world, and the Japanese fans they hear

110
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: about the Splash Brothers. They expect you to shoot a

111
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: certain way. And for us to only missed like five

112
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: shots together hit the four pointers, that was fun. That

113
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: was the het out of my trip because, uh, there's

114
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure when you're out there on the island,

115
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: and I felt good to do that with Steph. And

116
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: I felt going to show the team, like just the

117
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: Warriors brand man, like being out there and thinking like

118
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: there are so many Warrior unions out here across the world,

119
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: like this is unbelievable, and that puts everything in perspective

120
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: and we're grateful for obviously everything you guys did. That's

121
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: how I could actually really that's how I checked who

122
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: the real Warrior fans are. If you walk into the

123
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: arena with what we believe shirt on, you are a legend,

124
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: Like you got a whole another respect to your finger

125
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: and they're all they're old now too. It's not the

126
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: nice night beat up, beat up and through the washing

127
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: the e on it is crazy. Well I've seen a

128
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: lot of them. They still exist. Head into the new

129
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: season being defended champs. Um, how do you avoid the

130
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: championship hang? You've been in this position? Just shoot, just

131
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: embracing the fact that it's a marathon. Really, like if

132
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: you're already thinking ahead of June, like, oh we can

133
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: win number five, UM, ain't gonna make you. Ain't gonna

134
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: make you, know if that thoughts crossed my mind a

135
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: lot because of but after like the years we had

136
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: and injuries like anything, and that happens every NBA season

137
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: with injuries, it's really a war of attrition. So I'm

138
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: not sure if Sunny three wins into cars, I mean,

139
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: that's all that's great, But we gotta get there and

140
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: be healthy when we do get there, and that's for

141
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But just enjoy every single game really like

142
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: we're going into we get to hear again it's been

143
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: some years, but when they introduce us, the defending NBA

144
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: Championel State Warriors, to hear that during introductions like, okay

145
00:07:54,760 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: against the Lakers. My dad, sorry, Dad, you gotta he's

146
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: always torn because he's a right doing his job, but

147
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: he's rooting for his son. So it's a good problem

148
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: to have, right of course, as always the person to

149
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: go to finish this season, to go through the season healthy,

150
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: any other person who goes. I want to be an

151
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: All Star again, you know. I mean I'm used to

152
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: what I know to be able to make those games

153
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: and considered one of the best in the world, Like

154
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: it's a it's the coolest, yeah, no better feeling, and

155
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: I just want to be able to experience that again.

156
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: I want to all NBA is always great, but I

157
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: don't want to put that pressure on myself. So if

158
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: I play like I know I'm capable of, I should

159
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: be an NBA All Star and I and then go

160
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: through what I did and be able to accomplished that,

161
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: you know, you know, tearing a knee, tearing achilles when

162
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: you came back, what do you feel like was the

163
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: last thing to get come back for you? With a lateral?

164
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: It was man Like, anyone who's done it knows that

165
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: you might lose a little power, like taking off, like

166
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: my right foot take off I'm not gonna say it's changed,

167
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: but it's taking a long time since that happened. Like

168
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: or your lateral movement might not my body. My mind

169
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: would go places and my body would it wasn't there yet.

170
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: But when you take two years off, you gotta realize

171
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: you gotta give yourself them to breathe. And I'm so competitive,

172
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: i would be hard on myself, like I used to

173
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: be able to check this dude and get buckets and

174
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: now going one for twelve from three, I'm getting blown

175
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: by everybody. So there are some dog days. But you

176
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 1: just gotta do all little things too, like I gotta

177
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: eat a crazy diet now you know, no bread, limited cars,

178
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: no red meat, watch what you drink. It is just

179
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: the little things. When you get to your early thirties

180
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: with a decade of experience, that help me get over

181
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 1: the top. And shout out to our training staff man,

182
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: like we went there to that it was amazing, amazing.

183
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: And what they looking at my playoffs stats right before

184
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals, like after we clinched it, and I'm

185
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: just like if you just looked on paper, you would

186
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: based off the numbers, you would have never thought I

187
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: was injured and to see that, like, it gave me

188
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: so much motivation to keep going. And I cannot get

189
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: there without Rick and Kyle and Science, Dave and Yoder,

190
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: Danny Carl who was Jerry. We spent so many days

191
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: together and I would, um, you know how we are.

192
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: We want to poop all day and then have to

193
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: pull us back, like you can't do this trust stuff

194
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: Like I feel great, but I can. I just went

195
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: out and made twenty out of shots like, but that

196
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: game speed and there's just things you can't simulate. So

197
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: I really appreciate them forguiding me. Do you feel like yeah, yeah, yeah,

198
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm a percent. I don't even think

199
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: about anything. And God is so good. You know. There's

200
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: a lot of players though, who defied the odds before me.

201
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: Dominique Wilkins k D. Yeah, man, it was so nice

202
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: having as Dot around. Yeah. Well, as I went through

203
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: to come back and win three chips black he had.

204
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: I still tell it's like the greatest mid range game

205
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 1: is his NBA history co KD Mike and that shot

206
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: was on block right point guard. Yeah, he was amazing.

207
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: What do you think in your opinion, what's the how

208
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: to westle it to you right now, man, I feel

209
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: like the West is stacked again. I don't know, I

210
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: can't catch a break. I mean, Memphis Phoenix Nuggets gonna

211
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: be healthier. Kawai and Paul are back. Yeah, stars on

212
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: every on every team, like multiple too. So it's great. Man.

213
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: The NBA is in a great place. Like there's the

214
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: guys been around forever. Then these young bucks coming up,

215
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: whether it's Edwards, Moran or Booker, but then we still

216
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: got Braun doing his thing and Steph And it's just

217
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: really cool because when I think when I was a

218
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: rookie and I think about who like this was running

219
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: the league, it was like Kobe and Tim Duncan j G.

220
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: And I'm like, bro, I really grew up watching y'all

221
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: my whole life. Now it's just weird when it happens

222
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: to get there. Now these kids on our team are nine. Yeah,

223
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: we was watching y'all. Right, man, it just feels like yesterday.

224
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: It's crazy. It's crazy time times. Which young fellows on

225
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: your team impression? Oh man, I don't know. It's like

226
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: our front office doesn't miss it's crazy, you know what

227
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like they all got something special. They all

228
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: do things differently, like like even Jonathan Comingo. I haven't

229
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: seen a twenty year old jump like him in a

230
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: long time. And it's like quick bounce, like off the rim.

231
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: It jumpers nice to Mo Moody gets into as funny

232
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: as you watch Mo and he's like, you know he

233
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: won't like, wow, you going to workout? But then you

234
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: throw him in the game and he was nineteen. He

235
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: was nineteen years old last year getting playoff buckets, huge

236
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: offensive rebound, he just did. You don't expect that from

237
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: a night team. I didn't know that young. Yeah, the

238
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: way he carries yourself much, this is crazy. You look

239
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: like you've been playing this game for ten years and

240
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: you can't, like, how do you scout that? You know?

241
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: And obviously what Jordan Pool has become like who would

242
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: have thought the Splash Brothers without another have a pool party?

243
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's gotta be destiny. That was perfect.

244
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: That was the stars aligned for that one, My goodness.

245
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: And he plays like Steph two. It's crazy, but Wi

246
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: is twenty seven now, actually, I think. But I'm like, bro,

247
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: you've been in there. I've been in here for a

248
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: minute now. I remember when you were checking Kobe and

249
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: I'm so grateful for Andrew though, Oh my gosh, she

250
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: makes my job so much easier. I watched him, like, Bro,

251
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: I can't believe you have to chase around dunk kitchen

252
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: Tatum and Mirandol game and then go get us twenty.

253
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: I'm exhausted watching you. But I mean you do that

254
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: ship though too. Yeah, well I was seven, was doing

255
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 1: the same. Wiseman's back finally now, man James, you guys,

256
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 1: he's looking like a beast, especially in Japan. You see

257
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: what he did in Japan. But he dunked on Porzingis.

258
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, he's not easy to dunk on. He dunked on.

259
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: He was dunking everything. Yeah, we got so many, it's crazy.

260
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, how did the Warriors do it? Reloaded they

261
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: got to It's crazy how we did it. But I'm excited.

262
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: Let's go back to your upbringing Portland, Oregon. Dad Michael

263
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: Thompson was an NBA Grade two time champ with the Lakers.

264
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: Mama cottage volleyball player. How was it growing up in Portland?

265
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: Portland was cool, Portland was It's always want a whole

266
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: a special place in my heart. Uh. I had a

267
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: nice life though, Man, my dad was a number one pick,

268
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: he was a Blazer. What was this fool doing rock

269
00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: beyond his own time? Sorry, hey Rocker, what's that in

270
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: with your play? All right back to where he was at. Man,

271
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: I grew up loving the Blazers. I grew up playing

272
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: three sports. I was very blessed. My my mom did

273
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: really all the hard work, though she had three boys.

274
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: She would run us around the practice and two tournaments.

275
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: Get our gear right, get our lunch is right. My

276
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: dad didn't do any of the heavy lifting, but he

277
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: did show me the fundamentals of the game. So thanks

278
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: Pops to carry me a long way. But just being

279
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: able to go with him the Blazer games and see

280
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: people how they treated him inspired me because he came

281
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: from his first born number one pick and the Bahamas

282
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: back then with such a foreign land. I'm like, man,

283
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: it's on the other side of the world. My dad

284
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: came all away from there to be here and just

285
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: like a kind of like a I knew even when

286
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: I was younger, I was have to live up to

287
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: his name because like, uh, just being a national hero

288
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: in a sense like from the Islands. Barely even play

289
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: growing up, but was tall and athletic and I went

290
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: to Miami and ended up in Portland. It was crazy,

291
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: but I was just grateful for him. I love the Trailblazers.

292
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: I loved Rashid and Damon um Scottie. I thought, I

293
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: love those teams like they were such a pride and

294
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: joy for the city of Portland, and they really shaped

295
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: my early basketball memories. I'll never forget when we lost

296
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: the Lakers, and I was but I was Loki a

297
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: Laker fan too. But I'll never forget that Game seven,

298
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: that that killed the city. But we were right there

299
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: and that was one of the greatest player teams of

300
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: all time. I said, that was one of the greatest

301
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: teams never to win it right there was. They were good.

302
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: Took him to seven games too, and was that was fun? Though?

303
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: That so so it was them. I refused to be

304
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: a Seattle sports fans. We just didn't like each other,

305
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: you know, Portland Seattle. I was not rocking with the Seahawks.

306
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: Of them hearners, so I would I picked the who

00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: I love Steve McK I played quarterback growing up man,

309
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: so Steve Mcnernettie George my favorite players. Actually, me and

310
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: Kevin Love spent so much time playing basketball growing up.

311
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: But we all knew. Everyone in the city of Portland

312
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: knew Kevin was destined. It was six, seven, eight and

313
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: eighth grade. When did you guys meet? What did you

314
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: guys meet? We played baseball when we were eleving. We

315
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: all knew like Kevin was going. I didn't know that

316
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: about myself yet till I hit my gross first and

317
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: kind of got some confidence. But I remember Kevin getting

318
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: bags and nikes and all these letters. We'd be thirteen.

319
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, is this how it really is? But this

320
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 1: is crazy? And then like, but you were so I

321
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: was so naive back then. I didn't really know how

322
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: the world operated. But I loved my time in Portland

323
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: as a kid. I still have. Every time I go

324
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: to the Rose Garden. It's special for me just because

325
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: of what I got to witness there. Man, it will

326
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: stick with me the rest of my life, and so

327
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm very grateful for my father for giving that to us.

328
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: Three brothers. Older brother played college basketball, younger brothers professional

329
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: baseball player. Was what was it like growing up in

330
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: the household? Very competitive? I'm sorry. Yeah, it was really competitive.

331
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: We just we love sports. We all our favorite athletes.

332
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: We cut out or slam magazines East Bay and we

333
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: would It was great though. Man, we would play from

334
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: yard baseball, football. Games would never end because someone end

335
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: up crying and complaining they got cheated or something. Who

336
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: used to win the most? Though back then, I think

337
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: Mike used to win the most. He said, he's too. Ever,

338
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: you guys are all two years apart. Yeah, Trace was.

339
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: I never would beat Tracing whooketball, but I see why

340
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: now she's now playing the big leagues. I'm like, okay,

341

00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: Going to work with Mikey every day. I'm very grateful

352
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: that the Warriors gave us these opportunities. Uh, I love

353
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: it because the guys love being around Mikey. He's a

354
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: great addition. Yeah. I kicked it with Mike more than

355
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,000

00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: all up and smoked. Yeah. Man, Mikey is great. He's

358
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: a great addition to staff because he played in the

359
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: NBA for a little bit and he played overseas, so

360
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: I was going against them today, I'm like, I can't

361
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: we going against Mike and Press right now. It's just great.

362
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: And he's a big body, sixes can shoot, So it's

363
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: good having around and to see what Trace went through

364
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: to be back on the in the Dodger Blue killing

365
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: it like he was in the miners, battling back to

366
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: get a look and he got another shot and he

367
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: just ran with it. Like what a career he's had. Man.

368
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: He just he's not even done yet either, Like he's

369
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 1: thirty one and still going. I'm excited for his future

370
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 1: because he has really proven this year that like he

371
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: is a five tool players. He's killing out there he's

372
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: like Griffy like obviously not exactly. That was his idol

373
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: growing up. So we could do it on the center field.

374
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 1: You can do it all. He could do it all, man.

375
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: You could rob home runs, you can go yards six three.

376
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: Could you imagine if the Dodgers win a ring and

377
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: the Warriors win a ring and the Thompsons get too

378
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 1: would that would be the I'm gonna sell that script.

379
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: One day at fourteen, your dad gets traded to the Lakers.

380
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: So from Portland to Orange County? What was that like?

381
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: He got traded in the broadcast world, like the he

382
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: stopped doing the color commentating for the Blazers and then

383
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: he went down to l A. So we moved. We

384
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: moved like a south hour south of l A to

385
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: in Orange County, And it was a big change at first.

386
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 1: A lot of things are different, and caliber's Oregon on there,

387
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 1: forget what you're staying in downtown sharing to in l A.

388
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: And I just walked out on the street and I looked,

389
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,239
Speaker 1: but I've never seen skyscrapers like that before. I was like,

390
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: this is unbelievable. I've only seen this in the movies.

391
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: But going to Staples and with my dad I was.

392
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: It was surreal. Man. I was like, I get to

393
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: watch Shaq and Kobe. This is the best time in

394
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: my life. I went to with him to Detroit. That

395
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: was really my best basketball experience, seeing that, oh four

396
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: Finals live with my brother and this look at him.

397
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 1: He's no dogs on the couch rock. Yeah, that rule

398
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: don't exist around here. But yeah, I'm thankful for my dad.

399
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: Those are really my best memories just going with him.

400
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: He would get there so early three PM to call game,

401
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: but Kobe would come out in thirty minutes and I

402
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: would just be like locked in, like I can't believe

403
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: I get to see this empty arena. So I'll be

404
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: at the Staples for like seven hours, kicking in the

405
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: family room. Those are really some of the best times

406
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 1: in my life. I would see like Jack Nicholson or

407
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: Adam Sandler walked by, and I'll tell him my home.

408
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: He's in high school. Like, man, I get to see

409
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 1: all these famous people. The first famous person I ever

410
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: saw Staples was Sabrina teenage, which I never seen to

411
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: step you before. Yeah, I remember her, so I was juiced.

412
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: I was like thirteen. I was like, I think it

413
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: was at Clippers game too. I was like, no way,

414
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: but it was just growing up. I was just feel

415
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: blessed having that those experiences. Any cool Kobe stories you

416
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: can remember as as a youngster, um Man, I remember

417
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: after those four finals, this this is when I knew

418
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: my dad really had the juice. This is when I

419
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: really knew he played in the league and he did

420
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: his thing because the Lakers just got beaten. Five is

421
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: right at the what's that hotel in burning the Townsend,

422
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,680

423
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: room or whatever, and I'm sitting at my table with

426
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: sits right next to my dad, just Kobe by himself,

427
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: nobody else. I'm like, of all people who picked up

00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: This is crazy. I didn't say it works. I was

430
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: so starstruck. I just remember sitting there like, I can't

431
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: believe this was Froby At the time too, I was

432
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 1: like I can't. It's like I can't believe chopping up

433
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: my my dad had hair back then too. I was like,

434
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: I can't believe these two are just chopping it up

435
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: right now. This is crazy. I'll never forget that memory,

436
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: Like just being there. It was one of the best

437
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 1: moments of my life, to be honest, because I was

438
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: that That's all I needed to do, that like energy,

439

Speaker 1: being around him is all I needed to like know

440
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: what I wanted to do with my life. It's like, man,

441
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm born to do this and my dad did it,

442
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's in the cards streaking code. Man, we

443
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: missed him though. Another story I got. We were in

444
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: China together for the Global Games and me and Christin

445
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: Marco couldn't sleep, so we went up to the weight

446
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: room and it was just us too. We were like

447
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: doing dumbbell bench press or whatever, and I just feel

448
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: tapped my shoulder and I looked behind me and I

449
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 1: was like, oh, what's up. Man? It was cold, and

450
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,200

452
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: up and went to this thing. But I heard him

453
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: telling that same story in the press a few years later,

454
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: and like, I'm like, I can't believe this man's memory

455
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: is incredible. I can't even he even remembers that, And

456
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: like just had that moment with them, Like what a

457
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: businessman like all he told me what's up and did

458
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: his thing, and like I didn't really act like he

459
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: wanted to see me, but I felt like he kind

460
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: of kind of liked to say something. But I was like, man,

461
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: I'm doing something right. If I'm in the gym with him,

462
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: it's just us too, Like, Okay, what was it like?

463
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: What was it like to kind of, you know, be

464
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 1: a fan early on and then actually get a chance,

465
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, to play against him. There's not many in

466
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: the league who you really play against me. You're like, wow,

467
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: I can't That's what I was asking you about Michael

468
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: Jordan earlier. I was like, probably watching your whole life

469
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: and you finally get the step on the court with them,

470
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: You're like, this is crazy, man. You're like a You're

472
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,000

473
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: can't believe I'm watching man. I know everything about your career.

474
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: I remember when you won the dunk contest between the legs,

475
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: when you made the first All Star Game in ninety

476
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: with Eddie Jones, and then like everything and then like

477
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: to be there it's like you don't want to be

478
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,239
Speaker 1: a fanboy, but you really are. Deep down. You're just

479
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: like this just because he's trying to kill you. He

480
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: was killing me though he had, especially before it towards

00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: Achilles Are. He was he was so he was so

482
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: strong and I was young and you were just but

Speaker 1: you're really my idol. I'm gonna test myself today. There's

485
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 1: only a few like yeah, he was the only one

486
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: who really brought the album because Draymond told a similar

487
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: story where he's like I stopped shooting pre game because

Speaker 1: I was just I even had Kobe Bryant courtside CC four,

489
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:40,199

Speaker 1: is great. He was back home, like man, you got

491

Speaker 1: in Cali. There's no It's like that's like a legendary

498
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: place to be. I didn't work out, I want to

501
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: didn't have I'm not sure if I didn't have the

502

505
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: They're like, nah, Orgust, now what you dumb? Now? I

506
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: wanted to play the Pac Tense so bad. But then

507
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: Tony Bennett came calling, and Wazoo came off a great year.

508
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 1: They made the attorney. I went up and visited, and

509
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: to see those players get the love from the city,

510
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, y'all really celebrities up here. And

511
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: the coach was amazing too. At the time Tony Bennett,

512
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: I would just shoot with him and he played in

513
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: the league. I was like, you really made the league, bro.

514
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: You're a five letting little white guy and you can

515
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: get to the league. You promise I can get there, Like, oh,

516
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: I'm here. I'm starting as a freshman. And Tony had

517
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: an incredible jump shot and I saw him shooting. I

518
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: was like, I can learn from him, Like you know,

519
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: a lot of coaches, especially the collegiate level, you asked

520
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: me go out there and do something like they might

521
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: snaff something. He's fresh out the league like eight years

522
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: ago and he can still shoot. And seeing that at eighteen,

523
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, that's what I need to be.

524
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: I just want to play the and I wanted to

525
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: stick it to other schools who didn't recruit me at

526
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: the time. So I was like, I'll go anywhere. I'll

527
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: go to Pullman Like. It was a tough adjustment first

528
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: with the winter times, especially come from SoCal, but I

529
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 1: was I'm forever a coog and I'm gonna rep that

530
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: to forever, like because it keeps me humble, Like this

531
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: is the one school that wanted me. No U, C

532
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: L a USC CAP, nobody else. So a school it

533
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: is yeah, winner lose, cougs boost. That's the model. Because

534
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 1: we had a lot of heartbreak, a lot of hard man.

535
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: That's what makes his family. We stick together through it all.

536
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,239
Speaker 1: That's what we do. We have Ryan Leaf right right.

537
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: We had we had a lot of quarterbacks man Jack

538
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: Thompson throwing, Samoan Mark ripping was a Super Bowl MVP

539
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:20,360

Speaker 1: my driveway. Yes, the poll the police were hate. It's

548
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:54,640

00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: I was very sober driving. I'm not an idiot. You know,

Speaker 1: overseas for like ten years now. Incredible career. So I

608
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: still keep in touch with all my teammates. Man that

609
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: that really hurt me though, not being able to play

610
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: that game, and I knew I made a mistake. I

611
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: had to own up to it. But I was probably

612
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: myself for apologizing and owning up to it, Like, look,

613
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: I messed up. I'll be better. Let you all down,

614
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: and I still might smoke. I'm just not gonna get caught.

615
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: That's how I got to be a more responsible next

616
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: time and not drive with it and just gets crazy.

617
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: We got asked to deliver right now the middle man,

618
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: what are we doing it? But even well, that's why

619
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: I love the coups because I heard of I remember

620
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: my voice was trembling. I heard of we Love You

00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: play appreciate that. Three years in Pullman, uh, he decided

622
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: to go to the draft. You could drafted the number eleven.

623
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,000

629
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: Brooks busting my tail in Indiana. What was Kauai? Because

630
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,040

00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: to conversation. Yeah, we have each other and know what

632
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:33,720

Speaker 1: man was getting everything free. I was like, well, I

639
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: mean I played the league too. I don't got a

640
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: championship yet, you know, but he was a king down

641
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: there being an Aztec and all that, but quite a

642
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: living man. He's like a Scottie Pippen. He's just he's

643
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 1: a freak. Man'sticism different the way he dun't say he's crazy.

Speaker 1: did you eleven? Because it was drafted eleven? Yeah, and

648
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,000

649
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: But I'm like, Levin is cool. Yeah, I figured that.

650
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 1: I never knew why, but I did figured that. Yeah,

651
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,799

657
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: I was just so excited to be there. I had

658
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: no ambition to win nothing, you know, all star, but

659
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: every day was like Disneyland. Man. I'm like, I really

660
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,839
Speaker 1: after this my whole life I'm just trying to get

661
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: some run in and it was amazing, man, just watching

662
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: Monte and de Lee out there. I was like, I

663
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: can't believe, like the moment wasn't big from at all

664
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 1: for me. I'll be so nervous. I'll never forget Christmas

665
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: Day opening night. I got my ball, I got I

666
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: went off for a pansy layup and DeAndre Jordan's slapped

667
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: at the half courts so loud. I was like, Oh,

668
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: I didn't see that in the Pac ten. It was crazy. Then?

669
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: Was that the was that the lockout year was out? Yeah,

670
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 1: that's right, Yeah, I remember and d Wright, Nate Rob Deeley.

671
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: They got stacks of cash on the table. They're playing

672
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: Boo Ray. I'm like, this is different in the league, man,

673
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: we got this is the most money I've ever seen.

674
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 1: You know, we got a nice stipend checking at Wazoo,

675
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: but this is crazy stack so big. And then he

676
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: learned because like mante was our little home in mont

677
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: was a nineteen eighteen. Never took a shower, only took bass,

678
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: never tattoos. Yeah, no, no task. So we'll tell you

679
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: the story was so that that was the last game

680
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: of the season. We were up in sack and the

681
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: tattoo artists that did a cross right here on my arm.

682
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: My little homeboy from high school. He came and did

683
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: the same tattoo on Monte this keyma is the last

684
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 1: game of the season. Remember when you were sweating when

685
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: he got the tattoo. This dude comes back the following

686
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: season when more tattoos. Unbelievable, when all the flood games,

687
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 1: that's amazing. What was I'm gonna take it forty eight

688
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: against the thunder Now, I was like, I was unbelievable.

689
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: I was on the bench all the time. I was

690
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:42,320
Speaker 1: like eight and who was went next to me? Earle

691
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: what was his name? Earl Baron? I think the big dude. Yep,

692
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: you just kept saying forty eight peace McNugget. I was like,

693
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: you know, he made it look so effortless, all right,

694
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: get him going right? Yeah? Over quick post all star break,

695
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,879
Speaker 1: you had like you had been there before, seven points

696
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: of game from the behind the three point line. Uh.

697
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 1: What was your rookie season? Like? Overalls, get the chance

698
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: to just get your feet wet, and then the second

699
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: half of the season really starting to make a name

700
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 1: for yourself. It was amazing. It was amazing. It was

701
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: one because it was also new, and when I got

702
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: that chance to start, I mean, I was just every

703
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,399
Speaker 1: night was huge for me, just to prove they made

704
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: the right selection. And I remember having a really good

705
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 1: game against my idol Ray Ray Allen at the time.

706
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: I remember Darren Rman introducing us at the half court

707
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 1: and just telling like he's like play just watch him

708
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: work out and you can be on a similar path.

709
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: And I'm like, the greatest three point shoot of all time,

710
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: stay less, stay less, Darren. So I very grateful for

711
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: for making that introduction because that was another moment my

712
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: rookie year, like playing against Kobe, Like I'll never forget

713
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: Ray took the time to talk to me at mid

714
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 1: court right before the game. I just got put in

715
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: the starting lineup, and I really want to have a

716
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: good game that night because this I was just watching

717
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: the Celtics in the championship a year before, two years before,

718
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: so I was like, man, if I have a good

719
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 1: game against these guys, just like four Hall of famers

720
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: over there, like and I might, I know I have

721
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: a shot. And I had like seven on thirteen shots

722
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: that night, and I think but KG gained us from

723
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: the top of the key. I'm not gonna lie though.

724
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: All back then I wasn't really consuming winning like I

725
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: had twenty seven Right, Yeah, that's what you said against Right.

726
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm just happy he took the l

727
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: But just how your mindset changes from when you're twenty

728
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 1: one years old. That was an amazing moment for me

729
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: playing against the Celtics. That's dope. So you're to Draymond

730
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: comes in the picture. You guys win forty seven games.

731
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: It's hilarious. Man, I'll never forget Like Draymond is a

732
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: second round pick. Had you made a lot of money,

733
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: yet he's sitting at the Boo Ray table talking crazy.

734
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, who is this? We are nuts, Like I

735
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: don't even know how to play this game. That's how

736
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 1: I knew. He was like why are different? Leacause I'm like, Wow,

737
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: Drey's out here gambling with the big boys, like he's

738
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: not even phazed. He found like I like him from

739
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: the jump, right from the jump. What was your impression

740
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 1: to him? Because you guys starting to slowly kind of

741
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: start to transcend basketball. You and Clay are you and

742
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: Steph and them being on the same page Draymond's added

743
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: to the mix. When did you guys feel like that

744
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: chemistry really starting to kick in? Mm hmm, definitely when

745
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: we it was we were talking about this in Tokyo. Actually,

746
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: when we beat the Miami Heat in Miami on like

747
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: a Draymond game, I think I came off uh downpick

748
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: Jared Jack hit Draymond wide open for a layup. There's

749
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: like point three left. We celebrated that night like we

750
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 1: won the championship, like jumping up and down. We just

751
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 1: beat the Heatles like we thought we were host up.

752
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: But when we did that, and we're all in early

753
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: twenties and I'm like, man, maybe we could have bill

754
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 1: something special here. But that was those little victory that

755
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 1: wasn't a little victory at the time that I was.

756
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: We were so happy. If you go back and watch

757
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 1: that clip with Drama game winner, everyone's rushing off the

758
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,760
Speaker 1: bench for hugging each other. It was like a Game seven.

759
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: It was crazy. So when we did that and I

760
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: saw how Draymond didn't back down to Lebron that game,

761
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: he was talking mess like this guy was crazy. Man,

762
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: He's out even talking crazy to anybody, and he just

763
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: he's always been he's the same way to this day,

764
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: and that's what makes him go and makes our team go. Um.

765
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 1: Oracle is a different kind of place whether you're winning

766
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 1: or losing. But when you're winning, in particular, favorite Oracle

767
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: moment with that crazy crowd out there. Oh man, so many,

768
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: Oh man, there's a lot. Man. Even the first playoff

769
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: series we had, it was so loud in there against

770
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: the Nuggets. Steph went crazy. That's coming out party. So

771
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: it was he got on the cover of Sports Illustraight.

772
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: I was like a little jealous, man, I want to

773
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: be on coach. What's It was great until the first

774
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: the first finals run too, because it's like, man, we

775
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 1: seeing that banner, I'm thinking about forty years in the

776
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 1: city of Oakland, Like it's just crazy. That first run

777
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 1: was special, man, And you could tell the fans not

778
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 1: just in the arena, but outside of Oracle get crazy

779
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 1: in the parking lot off on seventy three, all the

780
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: way down to downtown Oakland on Broadway. It would be

781
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: just get that love from the city of Oakland. And

782
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: you could because you know, Oakland's been through a lot.

783
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: It's gotta like we all know, it's not a like

784
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: it takes a lot to make it out of Oakland,

785
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,800
Speaker 1: and like people are so prideful there. It's a and

786
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: the fuel to be a source of pride for it.

787
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: Oakland people's was we didn't take that likely, man, We

788
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: bore that with great pride and they that's why they

789
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: loved y'all so much. And we believe left such a

790
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: legacy because they really saw themselves and you guys, and

791
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: we didn't take that lightly. For real, we were like,

792
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 1: it's for Oakland. This is for the people who might

793
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 1: not be able to go to game and just to

794
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 1: see how much love will you get from everybody? Man?

795
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: It was special. It still brings chills to me. A

796
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: lot of people don't know the history in the Oakland,

797
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: not only just diverse history, but the black history. Absolutely,

798
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: it's a rich history as the migration now from the

799
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: South and just being a haven for black culture. Man,

800
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: all the town that comes out of that city. It's

801
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,720
Speaker 1: not that big a city. It's like five thousand people.

802
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: I just thinking the musicians, athletes, It is incredible, well

803
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:37,720
Speaker 1: wide trend Sttors really talked to him, Uh, Mark Jackson,

804
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 1: how instrumental was he kind of laying the foundation? He

805
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: gave you and Stephie early on when people thought he

806
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: was crazy talking about, you guys are the greatest shooting

807
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 1: backcourt in the history, like made you guys believe it,

808
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: you guys turned into it. But how instrumental was he

809
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 1: uh in kind of setting that your young NBA foundation? Man,

810
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: Mark's amazing and he told him to call his bluff too,

811
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: and they were trying to dog him for it, but

812
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,280
Speaker 1: he was just always so of himself and the confidence

813
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: he had with playing that era of Michael and Magic

814
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 1: and against Larry and talking about about playing against those

815
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: teams and like the swaggy he had just being out

816
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 1: of New York. I didn't know a lot of New

817
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: Yorkers back then, and Mark was like he would make

818
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: fun of me for being from the Birds and saying

819
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: with Steph and he was just like a he was

820
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,399
Speaker 1: like another player to be around. And I just love

821
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 1: talking about him, like talking to him about like where

822
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: Reggie would want it, or like how you guys would

823
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:33,879
Speaker 1: guard Mike or anything. And it was he really made

824
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: our identity defense to start, and he was just I'm

825
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 1: not afraid to call us out. And I appreciated playing

826
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 1: from Mark Man. He gave us so much comments we

827
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: needed and we were young. We needed that. We needed

828
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: coach to you know, bring that fire out of us.

829
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: M hm. When did you know Steph could be one

830
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: of the greatest man? Probably? Uh, shoot, I mean when

831
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: I saw him Davidson, like like no one was doing that,

832
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: Like he was shooting from thirty thirty to fort with

833
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: ease and his dribble blues were crazy. But when I

834
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: got on the floor with them, probably shoot, Probably that's

835
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: nugget series. When I saw him just taking transition pull

836
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: up threes like it was a elbow jumper, like it was.

837
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: It's crazy. He really just he made it look so

838
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: effortless to even watching to day, I'm like, Yo, this

839
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:35,280
Speaker 1: man is ball Hanley is crazy. Just those between his legs,

840
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: he sets up his shot like it's nothing. I'm like,

841
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: it's really He's so unique in his style of play man.

842
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:43,800
Speaker 1: He's been like that since day one. He's just gotten

843
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: stronger and better. Steve Kirk come not only the experience

844
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 1: of being a multi NBA champion one the time INBA champion,

845
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 1: but yeah, I win sixty seven that year. What did

846
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: he unlock for y'all? Steve helped my game out so much,

847
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: especially allow Draymond to be our point forward, like Draymond

848
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: is really the quarterback and for me and stepped to

849
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: play off the ball and fully utilized or catching shoot

850
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: arsenal Man. It made it so much easier, not only

851
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: for us, but for like Harrison and Bogs and now

852
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: Andre is getting wide open ux h b is. I'm

853
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 1: getting the swing. Swing Like we went from lasting league

854
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: to passes made per game to first in one season,

855
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 1: and I think that just unlocked everything. And when he

856
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: sixties seven games the first year, so it's crazy, like

857
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: he really, uh just there's a visionary with when it

858
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: comes to the offensive playbook, man he took and but

859
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 1: then you see who he played for, it's like, oh,

860
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 1: he took something from every year. I was just about

861
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: to say that because a lot of people don't know,

862
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 1: but san Antonio played a lot through the fore man,

863
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 1: a lot of the offense, a lot of the sets

864
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: are ran through the fore man, you know what I mean.

865
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: So that's just that's he learned. The lock from Pop

866
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: two was the first of five consecutive All Star selections.

867
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 1: How was it being named to the All Star Game

868
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: for the first time and what was one of your

869
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 1: favorite members from being All Star. My first year of

870
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: being there was my favorite memory, just because I was

871
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: there with all of everybody I grew up watching, and

872
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: it was in MSG moment was way too big for

873
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: me by the back side of the bar, and my

874
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 1: mom told me a funny story. She's like, man, I'm

875
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: sitting next to this little New York kids. He kept saying.

876
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: It was that like dad Clay can't make a shot,

877
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: Dad Clay's broke, That Clay sucks, just like we're in

878
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,800
Speaker 1: the garden and I got to go against staff with

879
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: three point contest. But that this whole weekend, like being

880
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 1: the first backcourt to start All Star games, to think

881
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 1: like seventy nine, it was. It was surreal, man. And

882
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 1: being there with you know, the Dirks, Tim duncan even

883
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 1: k d These guys seems so old to me. It's like, man,

884
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: I feel like I've been watching all for twenty years.

885
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: It's crazy to be without like, uh yeah, all that

886
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 1: elite time on Carmelo. It was special. Man, it was special.

887
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: I'll never forget that. The first one is always the best.

888
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: You play Lebron without Kyrie and Kevin Love, big difference

889
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 1: ain't it. Yeah, oh my gosh, chasing no offense. But

890
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 1: Chason Dell doll around compared to Kyrie Irving, my goodness,

891
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 1: my goodness, and even kay Love though he's he was

892
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 1: like that was. That was a nasty big three. Man,

893
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 1: That was a nasty big three. They all brought the

894
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 1: best tell of each other and still beat him in six. Yeah,

895
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 1: but the fact that they got even two wins is

896
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: a testament to like Braun and they had great I

897
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: mean the role. Guys did their job. Schump was a

898
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 1: tough to like, they had toughness on that team, that's why.

899
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 1: And they had shooting around Lebraun. That's why. It's like

900
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 1: if you don't put shooting around them, you're not gonna

901
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 1: get the most out of it. So they were still

902
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:54,359
Speaker 1: really good. Obviously not twenty six team, but they didn't

903
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 1: shot away from the moment and like they had us

904
00:47:56,640 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 1: on the ropes down to one, we had to question ourselves, like, man,

905
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: we really want this, but it was it was awesome, man,

906
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 1: Like that was that was surreal. We got the job done.

907
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, but brought as a beast, My goodness, he

908
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: was like a triple double that series. I don't care

909
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: what the shooting splits were he had to shoot all

910
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: the shots and it's incredible. Then I give the other

911
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 1: guys credit too, because just they didn't deflate when Kyrie

912
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 1: and Kayleb went out. They almost got better and saw

913
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: an opportunity. So it was a it was a fun series, Man, Man,

914
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: Man Man. Both know what they feel like to be

915
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 1: NBA champions. But winning that first championship for you, that

916
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 1: x he of I'm not gonna finish my career without

917
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 1: being the champions, Like what was that feeling? It was

918
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: the best, especially in my fourth year, like I couldn't.

919
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: I just in the forty years seventy five, last time

920
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: the Warriors raised a banner, like you said, get that

921
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 1: monkey off our back. We knew we would be remember forever,

922
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 1: but no, no way we thought we would build a

923
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 1: dynasty like prior toeen. But the fact that we I

924
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: was so happy, Man, I'm at a party a little

925
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 1: too much a month after. But I ain't no such thing.

926
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,800
Speaker 1: You know what if you would have told me in Pullman,

927
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 1: I was in Pullman three years before life. I just

928
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 1: hope I get there and then four years a m

929
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: NBA champion, like I couldn't believe that All Star, All

930
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: NBA and a champ in the same season. Yeah, that

931
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 1: was the best basketball year in my life. And want

932
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,320
Speaker 1: to gold medal with the t m USA, Like you

933
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So like, I did have a

934
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: lot of fun that summer. I know how to have

935
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: more fun these days and not be so like. That's

936
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: why I really learned. Like, dang, he's fools on the

937
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:38,399
Speaker 1: internet are trying to kill us out here. Man, I'm

938
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: just year olds. What do you what do you expect

939
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: Clay Thompson out there in Vegas getting worked on all this?

940
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 1: I'm like, who has to write this for a living man?

941
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: This is pathetic? Liketh want to be there. It took

942
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: me a while to accept that and just be myself like, look,

943
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm probably not the first one to have two good

944
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,800
Speaker 1: a time at the Lost AGAs pool party, but suddenly

945
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 1: won't be the last. All right, how was that worked? Though?

946
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 1: It was not worth it? Man, it was not worth it.

947
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 1: My family saw that. All they did do is smh,

948
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,320
Speaker 1: just like this taking guy, It's not worth it. But

949
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 1: at the time, in the present moment, I was so happy.

950
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 1: I wasn so I can tell me his son is

951
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,800

00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:36,319
Speaker 1: it comes at you too fast? Right here? We come

00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:40,800
Speaker 1: ready or not? Two thousand sixteen? Uh, you guys eclips

956
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bulls. Man, seventy three and nine? What was

957
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: leading up? What talks about the finals? Like? What was it?

958
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys were on the pace early on.

959
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 1: What was every what was the energy like around every

960
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: single game? Oh? Man, it was special. That was a

961
00:50:57,680 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 1: special season. We didn't finished the job, but that's a

962
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 1: sea and I'll never forget. Man. Remember one point we

963
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: were fifty and five. At one point, I'm like crazy

964
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 1: and there and Rick Carl said it was like when

965
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:13,800
Speaker 1: the Rolling Stones come to town. You know. I was like,

966
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: that's hilarious, more like bone Thugs and harmony because you know, yeah, Rick,

967
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 1: we know you all. I'm just playing. That was the best.

968
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 1: That was a special year. Man. Every game was just

969
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 1: like the team wanted to beat us so bad. We're

970
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 1: getting hate from the old heads like oh this team

971
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: will get smacked by the Bulls and like we know,

972
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 1: all right, we just want to. We're just doing our job.

973
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 1: What I mean, I've come to also realize like it

974
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: comes from a good place. They're just we're all just competitive.

975
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna I'm definitely in twenty years not

976
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:48,879
Speaker 1: gonna be like these guys are the best. Now, I'll

977
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 1: be like, no, were the best? Uh? Game six in

978
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 1: the Western Conference Finals that year against the thunder Down

979
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 1: three to the road, forty one and eleven excuse me,

980
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 1: forty one point eleven for eighteen from the three point line.

981
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: You guys come back and win that series? Game six,

982
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 1: Clay about who he is? The beginning of the game,

983
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 1: The beginning, man, that was. I just, you know, we

984
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 1: had obviously everything working against us, like, oh, look at

985
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: these failures. They're about to blow the best season of

986
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 1: all time. So I just thought in my mind, like, man,

987
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: you gotta empty the clip, like we can't go back

988
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 1: to the Bay with yeah, you have a few more tis.

989
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,759
Speaker 1: What are we doing here? So I just remember coming

990
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 1: out the gate early that game and it felt good.

991
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 1: Everything was in rhythm and just have to be one

992
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 1: of those nice man. It's just I barely remember the moments, honestly,

993
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 1: but I watched the all you watched the footage, you'd

994
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 1: be like, I can't believe got shot that shot and

995
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 1: went in like a lot of them, Like dang, a

996
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 1: lot of them here. They had some nice rams out there.

997
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 1: But I was secial. Man's still a special team. We

998
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 1: didn't finish the job, but that was such a special season. Hope,

999
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 1: I hope that record is still dear in my heart. Man,

1000
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 1: you should So you get to the finals against braun

1001
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 1: Um again again round two? Uh, what's the game plan?

1002
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 1: Obviously you knowing what he did kind of single handedly

1003
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 1: with all the respect the first time. Second time around,

1004
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 1: what's your guys game planning approaching them in the finals?

1005
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: This start? Man, you say like I'll make the others

1006
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 1: beat us. But then like braun and Kyrie get going

1007
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,280
Speaker 1: and then you overhelp and j R. Smith can shoot,

1008
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 1: Kevin Love can shoot, James Dones, all of them, all

1009
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:38,760
Speaker 1: their role players could really shoot. So it was actually

1010
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 1: a great matchup. Like personnel watch both teams was you

1011
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:44,360
Speaker 1: can see there's a new era of who's being played

1012
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 1: Like no traditional center and we're not. It's all very

1013
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 1: guard heavy. Lebron is really a guard and having gosh,

1014
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:54,800
Speaker 1: so exhausting. I'm so grateful for Andrew just thinking like

1015
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 1: having to chase Kyrie around those seven games was exhausting. Man.

1016
00:53:57,719 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: Why I bet some people don't realize that you were

1017
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 1: the one that always took the best player on the

1018
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,919
Speaker 1: other team, whether it be Dame Kyrie. But we're still

1019
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 1: able to do it on the other end too. Yeah,

1020
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 1: what would mean who played two guarden do the same thing,

1021
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:14,399
Speaker 1: whether it's Mike, Kobe d Wade, the greatest to ever

1022
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: do it, even Ai left the league in steals, like

1023
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 1: the best players to play shooting guard played both sides

1024
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: of the ball. I mean, go way back to out

1025
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 1: who's Albert Robinson won dpo y like doing that? That's

1026
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 1: a beast mode. But uh yeah, man, that was a

1027
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:32,880
Speaker 1: tough series. But it's the other biggest regret I have

1028
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,319
Speaker 1: in my basketball career, besides getting busted for the weed,

1029
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 1: was switching that pick and roll with Steph with Jr.

1030
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 1: And Kyrie. I still can't, like, I can't bring myself

1031
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 1: to watch that footage. It's it's too uncomfortable. You know,

1032
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: if you watch yourself, you know I can't. We just

1033
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 1: gave it that. Now, Kyrie got one of the greatest

1034
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 1: shots in NBA history, and I like, that's a great

1035
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:54,479
Speaker 1: defender too. But I'm just like, man, I can't believe

1036
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 1: I concede that switch. It still burns. You never get

1037
00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 1: over things like that was the game plan at the time, right, Yeah,

1038
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 1: But I'm like, when I look at the footage, I'm like,

1039
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: that was a pretty I could have got. But just

1040
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 1: but just saying, you don't. Yeah, both of y'all go

1041
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: when you get you know, but like you gotta go

1042
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 1: one over picking Pop and jail Kyrie with his tough

1043
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: contested three. You gotta take that, Yeah, you gotta take it.

1044
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:21,840
Speaker 1: That was a that was a dagger thoughts. When Draymond

1045
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 1: gets suspended, I knew we still a chance, Like it

1046
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 1: would be so much harder, you know it is. Draymond's

1047
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 1: are hard and soul. Did you think he deserved to

1048
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 1: get kicked up? Honestly I didn't at the time. Yeah,

1049
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 1: I thought he got stepped over. And I was like, man,

1050
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,280
Speaker 1: he's defending him. So what happened to someone you're supposed

1051
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 1: to just steps over? Everybody? Ain't t lou here you go.

1052
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:46,279
Speaker 1: I'm just saying to you it took Tie out of it. Hey,

1053
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 1: I stayed with them after wet thrown down him to

1054
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 1: the face and he just he just took for a time,

1055
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:57,359
Speaker 1: but he was there checking him. Man to check him

1056
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:01,200
Speaker 1: like that. But man, yeah, that we can still do

1057
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:05,279
Speaker 1: it with Dre but it would just be so incredibly difficult. Ironically,

1058
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 1: the game Draymond's out, both Braun and Kyrie go for

1059
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: forty first time there and finally go for forty apiece,

1060

00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:35,360

1064
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 1: everybody would be so mad and we went from my

1065
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:47,719

1069
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 1: and the film I've been on the same, bridging the

1070
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 1: cultures together. Well that was special, man. The first time

1071
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 1: I ever been in the Hamptons, Like, this is beautiful,

1072
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: It's where you summer, Katie, This is this is where

1073
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 1: you just sounds like sounds like j C. Were actually

1074
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 1: in New York for like five days prior to that

1075
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: New York's crazy. Man. We were Our days were like

1076
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 1: we were like vampires. Bro. We were starting days at

1077
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 1: six pm and go to sleep at six am. Four straight. Nice,

1078
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 1: get us out there, get us to the Hampton's Sustainable, Sustainable.

1079
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 1: Why are we doing this to each other? But that

1080
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 1: was fun. Man, that was such a good time. And

1081
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 1: I just when I would think about bringing Katie on board,

1082
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 1: I would think about the stories my dad would always

1083
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 1: tell me about playing with Magic and Kareem and James Worthy.

1084
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, I'll get to I thought, I'll get

1085
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 1: to practice earlier every day. And I would see Kareem

1086
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 1: practicing sky hook thirty minutes before practice every day, and

1087
00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 1: I saw the same parallel with Katie and stuff. I

1088
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 1: was like, man, I thought, I'm not really early. But

1089
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 1: I would get there and Katie's out there in full

1090
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: sweat doing his mid range pull ups, his spends his

1091
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 1: every one of his moves. I'm like, dang, man, this

1092
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 1: guy really wants this is I'm gonna tell my kids

1093
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 1: about this one day in here and see Steffan Kadi

1094
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 1: working out basket is crazy. I just remember my dad

1095
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 1: telling me those stories about cream magic. I'm like, that's

1096
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 1: so cool. Man. History really repeats itself. And it wasn't

1097
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 1: anything like, oh I gotta get less touches or I

1098
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 1: just knew like we could really do something special and

1099
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:32,480
Speaker 1: having Man, we were two games away from three peting

1100
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 1: and that has been done since Shock and Kobe. So

1101
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 1: that's what our goal wasn't one championship, two championships. I

1102
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 1: remember Bob Myers like Clay should come to New York.

1103
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 1: You guys can realistically win five six chips together. And

1104
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: I was like, Bob, you're talking a while, but I'm

1105
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 1: with it. Let's go. So you pick up k d uh,

1106
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 1: you guys win back to back championship ups. Um. I

1107
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 1: get a chance to join that seventeen team, I've never

1108
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: seen nothing like it. From a standpoint of I think

1109
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 1: the Clipper team I played on was probably one of

1110
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 1: the most talented teams I played on, but it seems

1111
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 1: like we just continue to get in each other's way.

1112
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 1: When I came to that team, Like you said, the

1113
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 1: thing the ship that blew me away was Steph and

1114
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 1: Katie now were on the same court doing their workout.

1115
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 1: You were on the other side of the court doing

1116
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,919
Speaker 1: your workout. Iggy had his court, Dre had his court,

1117
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 1: and sitting like, guys, where I'm gonna shoot this? I

1118
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 1: would just wait, but I would sit down and watch

1119
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: because you see Clay on one side, and Clay would

1120
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 1: missed two or three shots his whole workout. Then you

1121
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 1: see Steph and Katie doing this weird one banip with

1122
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 1: Steve Nash, and I'm like, these motherfucker's are missing. So

1123
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind waiting thirty or forty five minutes because

1124
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:42,920
Speaker 1: I got to see, you know, three of the greatest

1125
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 1: shooters ever to do it, just every single single day

1126
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:48,440
Speaker 1: doing it like every day. But what was that? What

1127
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 1: was that run? Like? I mean, Katie's presence in the finals,

1128
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: the finals, MVP, it was it just seems so effortless,

1129
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 1: But what was the what was that run? Like? For you?

1130
00:59:57,360 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 1: It was special? Man. That's why I bothers me people

1131
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 1: on talk about Kevin's greatness. This man average thirty five

1132
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 1: and fifteen the finals, don't even looking playing hard. I'm like, effortless.

1133
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:09,439
Speaker 1: That's like shock numbers, Like, what are we doing here,

1134
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 1: Like it's like he's a bus rider all this time.

1135
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 1: Like you can't argue with the numbers. If that's what

1136
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 1: I'm over here. If you need me on play some defense,

1137
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: like I got you. I was special, Bro, He's just

1138
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 1: winning the game, knowing he was gonna win if you

1139
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:29,439
Speaker 1: just handle your business. It was like there's almost nothing

1140
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 1: they can they can do too. It's just, man, that's

1141
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 1: why injuries sucked, man, because Kauai really scared us that

1142
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 1: first game. I was like, man, this dude's a beast.

1143
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:42,640
Speaker 1: He's come down the lane. I'm so happy to see

1144
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:44,920
Speaker 1: him back out here because he's really one of the

1145
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:48,200
Speaker 1: kind as well. But to go sixteen and one, like

1146
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 1: only us and the oh one Lakers did that, Bro,

1147
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 1: That's that's incredible, man. I don't we don't take that

1148
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 1: for granted. Man, that was a Worrior fans, you've been

1149
01:00:55,920 --> 01:01:00,120
Speaker 1: blessed with some incredible seasons. But it's all honor like,

1150
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 1: but man, sixteen and one of the playoffs. But it

1151
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 1: says a lot about y'all to play because to to

1152
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 1: have four Hall of Famers and bringing Katie and all

1153
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 1: y'all be on the same team, to put egos and

1154
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 1: everything aside for that long to be that great. That

1155
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 1: says a lot about y'all um all buying into one

1156
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 1: goal and it's about winning, you know what I'm saying,

1157
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:21,920
Speaker 1: you know, And it's hard to see that when you

1158
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 1: have four players with y'all countible on the same team.

1159
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 1: But guys put all the egos aside and put that

1160
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:31,160
Speaker 1: ship to work like that factual. Yeah, but it was. Yeah,

1161
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 1: when you know you can win banners though, it made

1162
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 1: a little easier. Yeah, yeah, it's great. Yeah, it was

1163
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 1: some the best times in my life. A great run.

1164
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 1: Did you see the time with him coming to an

1165
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 1: ends or anything that kind of jumped out at you

1166
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:46,720
Speaker 1: or it was just time he felt like it was

1167
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 1: time from he felt like it was time to go.

1168
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 1: I don't blame we don't blame Kevin for leaving it all.

1169
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 1: He was from the East Coast, and if I was

1170
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 1: on the East Coast and I had a great almost

1171
01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:00,160
Speaker 1: two games away from three pieces, like what more all

1172
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 1: want for me? Man? You want six? You know? Like

1173
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't for catastrophic things like we probably would have

1174
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 1: had three championships in that time. But uh man, we

1175
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:14,800
Speaker 1: don't we don't blame it at all. We know we

1176
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 1: kind of wanted to bounce a little bit. I mean,

1177
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: go back home and we'll still forever have those two

1178
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 1: going back to back and gosh so close. Remember his

1179
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: boy Randy, I saw him in the gym. That's something

1180
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:29,480
Speaker 1: He's like, Man, I wanted that this first thing he said.

1181
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 1: He's like, man, I wanted that three pet bad. I

1182
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 1: was like me too, But what can you do? Man?

1183
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:37,440
Speaker 1: That's when I learned about injuries, and that's part of

1184
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 1: the game person major person major injury happens game six

1185
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 1: of the finals. Talking about that. What was going on

1186
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 1: through the head? Oh man, I was about to punch

1187
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 1: that until no, no ill ill feelings towards Danny though,

1188
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 1: because we've met each other at the rim many times before,

1189
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 1: that just landed awkwardly. I was playing with the uh

1190
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 1: strained hammy, so it might have been a little more

1191
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 1: at risk, but like you're not gonna sit out at

1192
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 1: NBA Championship with a strain hammy. Like yeah, I'm talking

1193
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 1: about like, no, no, when this wolver come back. So

1194
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 1: I was having the best kid, my best Finals game ever.

1195
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 1: Two I was on. I felt like I couldn't be

1196
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 1: stopped that night and you know. It was eight thirty

1197
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 1: on twelve shots. I was like, I'm show getting forty,

1198
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:30,919
Speaker 1: don't win playing with house money like at that point.

1199
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 1: But I remember when I did it, I never felt

1200
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 1: anything like that. Was like I felt my knee shift

1201
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:38,200
Speaker 1: like that was weird. But you're drawing so high you

1202
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:40,360
Speaker 1: don't really got up. Yeah, I got up and I

1203
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 1: felt good. I was running around and they when did

1204
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:47,120
Speaker 1: you know, uh, probably when I took the m R.

1205
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 1: When Rick came over and gave me like a not

1206
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 1: just a hug, but like a really emotional hug and

1207
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 1: like paddling back. But I didn't think it was that.

1208
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 1: The first one didn't affect me that much because I

1209
01:03:57,800 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 1: was out there in front of the world. I put

1210
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 1: it all out on the line, so I was like

1211
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 1: I can accept this, like I gave it everything I

1212
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 1: had in this season. The second one, when I got hurt,

1213
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 1: That one hurt my heart because I was just playing

1214
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 1: pick up. I was so ready to get back after

1215
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 1: watching the season, and then I did. I did the

1216
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 1: same move I've done a thousand times, just a rip

1217
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 1: right to driple pull up and I came down and

1218
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 1: it felt like someone kicking in the back of the heel.

1219
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:25,000
Speaker 1: I look behind me and immediately knew, like, this is

1220
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 1: some bowl. This is crazy. I knew I did it immediately,

1221
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 1: and that was hard for to me accept because it

1222
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:34,920
Speaker 1: was like, man, I was working so freaking hard up

1223
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 1: to that point. All that, like no one sees at

1224
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 1: that time when you're in the gym doing the leg press,

1225
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 1: doing the peloton, and I know it's our job, but man,

1226
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 1: it's exhausting when you can't just play basketball and you

1227
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 1: just have to. And it was that that one hurt.

1228
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:52,760
Speaker 1: But man, it was It's in the past. Now you

1229
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:55,840
Speaker 1: think compensating so much, Yeah, I think I was tooer

1230
01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 1: on that one. I think I was a little above

1231
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:00,479
Speaker 1: my playing weight, and I think I was too eager

1232
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:03,360
Speaker 1: to get back and play my way into shape and

1233
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 1: proved everyone I'm still who I am instead of like

1234
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:09,080
Speaker 1: taking time, Yeah I don't really take my time. It

1235
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 1: was I was jumping way too fast into it. And

1236
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:13,560
Speaker 1: I learned the hard lesson like, look, man, you and

1237
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:15,480
Speaker 1: your thirties now, like you can't just hoop like you're

1238
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:19,160
Speaker 1: twenty three anymore. So that's life and now just way

1239
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 1: way more methodical with things. It's the saying you never

1240
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:25,640
Speaker 1: know how strong you are. Too strong is your only option?

1241
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 1: Did you find that in you when you went those

1242
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 1: two years? Because I know that had to because when

1243
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:32,919
Speaker 1: basketball taking from us, I went through it with the brawl,

1244
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 1: when they suspended me thirty games, I didn't know, you know,

1245
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 1: I didn't know what I was gonna do mentally, but

1246
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 1: the game, when the game is taken away from us,

1247
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 1: you can't explain that feeling to nobody, and it's taken

1248
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 1: away from you too crazy inries. Yeah, I know, it's

1249
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:48,479
Speaker 1: funny too because people are like, well, you know, they're

1250
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:49,840
Speaker 1: away talking about how much you get paid and all

1251
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:51,720
Speaker 1: this was like, yeah, well I never got into business.

1252
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 1: That's a by product of what we do. But I

1253
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 1: just really love everything. I love to play basketball, you know,

1254
01:05:56,480 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 1: my favorite movies or basketball films, my pastes on the walls,

1255
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 1: or my favorite players. Like so it was I did

1256
01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 1: some soul searching and I had time to reflect. But man,

1257
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 1: I still had some moments of weakness, like I would

1258
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 1: cry like a baby on the bench, like yeah, you know,

1259
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 1: like that was hard for me when I had to

1260
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 1: walk when you know, we're our guys going through the season.

1261
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:21,080
Speaker 1: That's why I'm so grateful for Andre, Steph and Draymond

1262
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 1: because I'm sitting there watching like and I'm hearing the

1263
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:26,160
Speaker 1: crowd and just like I can't believe this happening again.

1264
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 1: And I couldn't shake that from my head. And Steph

1265
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:31,440
Speaker 1: came over. I was like, no, it was just this

1266
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:35,959
Speaker 1: was in this was in the spring of I forget

1267
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,400
Speaker 1: who you're playing and I was just on the behind

1268
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:40,479
Speaker 1: the bench. I couldn't move. I was just like felt

1269
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:43,760
Speaker 1: frozen almost like I remember saying that. I was so angry,

1270
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 1: and Steph told me, he is, like, You're gonna play

1271
01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:48,160
Speaker 1: so much basketball after this, don't. I couldn't see that

1272
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 1: at the time. I was like, I just kept saying,

1273
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:51,200
Speaker 1: like my career was supposed to be like this, this

1274
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 1: is bullshit, isn't fair. I was feeling sorry for myself.

1275
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:58,080
Speaker 1: But to see it through, like yeah, I knew. I

1276
01:06:58,320 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm grateful for those guys. They didn't have to do

1277
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:03,440
Speaker 1: that name. They showed me a lot of love that day.

1278
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:12,360
Speaker 1: The season, it's a roller coaster. You come back, you guys,

1279
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:16,040
Speaker 1: make a run, You face Boston in the finals, walk

1280
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 1: us through that finals. O, man, that was a good man.

1281
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:20,720
Speaker 1: I give the Celtics a lot of crap. That's a

1282
01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:23,919
Speaker 1: good young team over there. Man. They reminded me because

1283
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:26,280
Speaker 1: I was having a great playoff. I was like looking

1284
01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:27,840
Speaker 1: at and I was like, man, I'm shooting the crap

1285
01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:30,800
Speaker 1: out the ball defending. But then when I play against

1286
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:32,560
Speaker 1: those young bucks there, I'm like, man, these guys are good.

1287
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:34,720
Speaker 1: I can't get away from Jamsen Brown. Man, it's got

1288
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:38,240
Speaker 1: to bring down my net. The same as smart you

1289
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 1: got the rim. Robert Williams there, he's blocking everything. So

1290
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:44,200
Speaker 1: that was a that was a hard fought finals. Man,

1291
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:47,240
Speaker 1: that's a two way team out there, and we went

1292
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 1: I told everyone, I was like, this is so similar

1293
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:52,920
Speaker 1: to we're down to one. We haven't really figured these

1294
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:56,080
Speaker 1: guys out yet, but we're right there. Of course, some

1295
01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 1: media members try to ridicule me, but we got the

1296
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 1: last laugh again and again. But uh no, I just

1297
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:04,560
Speaker 1: got a lot of respect for that team over there. Man.

1298
01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 1: They made us work. That wasn't easy like we had

1299
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:08,640
Speaker 1: might have been in six games, but we had to

1300
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:11,320
Speaker 1: scratching claw to win that series. And shout out to staff.

1301
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 1: Obviously greatest shooting series in the history of the Finals,

1302
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 1: potentially in same with Join the Pool that that half

1303
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:21,080
Speaker 1: course shot he hit that pretty much wants the game

1304
01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:23,880
Speaker 1: in Game five like that was a momentum killer for

1305
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:27,600
Speaker 1: the Celtics. Andrew Wiggins getting doubled up after eighteen and

1306
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:31,720
Speaker 1: nine in the finals. Some power forward right there, who

1307
01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:34,760
Speaker 1: can guard the best player? Draymond doing this thing defensively,

1308
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:39,080
Speaker 1: loon on the boards, auto hit big shots. Gary. We

1309
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:41,840
Speaker 1: had contributions from everybody, and you know, it gets a

1310
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:43,920
Speaker 1: little tighter that part of the year. What I love

1311
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:46,680
Speaker 1: about Draymond that series. He knew he wasn't gonna be

1312
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 1: effective on offense. He wasn't being that effective on defense.

1313
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:53,320
Speaker 1: So you know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna make

1314
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:57,400
Speaker 1: this ship a prison ball. Y'all want to fight or

1315
01:08:57,439 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 1: whatever I gotta do to win this game, I'm gonna

1316
01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:00,960
Speaker 1: make sure my tea is on the winning side. If

1317
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 1: I got get kicked out this motherfucker, whatever I got

1318
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:05,760
Speaker 1: to do, I'm gonna do something to make us win.

1319
01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 1: And and and that was his attitu, you know what

1320
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:09,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And I love I love that about him

1321
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 1: because you gotta contribute some type of way. He realized

1322
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:13,720
Speaker 1: he was hurting y'all for a minute more than he

1323
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:15,400
Speaker 1: was helping y'all for a couple of games, and he

1324
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:17,280
Speaker 1: realized that, but he sat down right. You know what

1325
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 1: what I do best. I go out there and play

1326
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:22,200
Speaker 1: harder than anybody out there. And that's what he did.

1327
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:25,200
Speaker 1: And you've seen it. You've seen the series shift. Game five,

1328
01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:27,599
Speaker 1: I'm telling you when Drey got that steel at half

1329
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:31,640
Speaker 1: court and got the you gotta dunk early and then

1330
01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 1: you got the steal half court too, I knew it

1331
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:38,840
Speaker 1: was hard to win. And even game six, he I

1332
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:40,479
Speaker 1: knew we'd figured it out. It was like, y'all can't

1333
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:42,880
Speaker 1: keep up Draymond, make him when they count. I've seen

1334
01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:46,639
Speaker 1: it too many times and he was cash. So Dre's

1335
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:49,760
Speaker 1: just a gamer man that's game like. He's skill level.

1336
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:52,320
Speaker 1: Not might not be Kevin Durant or Steph Curry, but man,

1337
01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:54,599
Speaker 1: he's like you said, he's gonna make it so hard

1338
01:09:54,680 --> 01:10:00,599
Speaker 1: on you. Yeah, wer paray looked amazing. Uh you accidentally

1339
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:04,960
Speaker 1: truck stick someone part of the parade. I'm sorry. Uh

1340
01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:10,400
Speaker 1: talk to us about that parade and heard the locker room.

1341
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:12,880
Speaker 1: You ended up in the locker room. Uh laid out

1342
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:14,880
Speaker 1: in the hot time with the bottle. How to use

1343
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:21,120
Speaker 1: all the resources? Uh? That was but for you. I mean,

1344
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:23,320
Speaker 1: like I said, it had been a fucked up a

1345
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:25,040
Speaker 1: couple of years, you know what I mean, And when

1346
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:26,920
Speaker 1: you were out it hurt, and you came back that

1347
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:28,920
Speaker 1: year and you're able to win. Like, how did that

1348
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:32,360
Speaker 1: emotion hit you? Man? I was that all came out

1349
01:10:32,479 --> 01:10:35,080
Speaker 1: that day. I knew I was doing something right when

1350
01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:37,639
Speaker 1: Snoop Dogg re posted on his Instagram like I really

1351
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 1: made it. Snow gave me the repost this is great,

1352
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:44,840
Speaker 1: and then, um god, I felt so good man, just
