Speaker 1: I'm fifteen years old in high school. In the Jordan Camp.

136
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: It was like I was a chosen one from where

137
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm from. Who else around me where I'm from. I'm

138
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: going to Jordan Camp. And then I come back to

139
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: summer and I'm looking at the hood like, man, I

140
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: was just with Mike this summer.

141
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 3: That's how it was for me. When I was I

142
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,680

144
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,400

145
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 2: used to go to Disney World and then I think

146
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 2: it was remember the AU tournaments we used to meet

147
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 2: up against when it was thirteen fourteen. Yeah, the Nationals. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

148
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 2: I think we had one of the Nationals. I was thirteen

149
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,359

00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 2: play it.

152
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 4: Talk about the impact, like, that's a good point you

153
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 4: made you being around Tyson and seeing everything like this.

154
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 4: He was on CNN in eighth grade then go straight

155
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 4: out of high school top five picks. So for you

156
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 4: to be the ball boy being around there, you know him,

157
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 4: you need to interact with him. That made it something

158
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,960

290
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 2: away from home, but I think you could do it.

291
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 2: So he was just like, yo, let's fly to Vegas.

292
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 2: And so he flew me and my mom to Vegas

293
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 2: and he was like, yo, just go out there and

294
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: play at Joe Joe Boon. I think somebody who has

295
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 2: a camp out there in Vegas. And I was just

296
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 2: out there hooping and like I got picked up by

297
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 2: like I was, I was either going to go to

298
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,079

00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 2: playing me at I was only playing like three to

316
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 2: five minutes. But what people didn't see is like the

317
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 2: practices and like I had an actual trainer there every

318
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 2: day that was teaching me everything about the NBA. That's

319
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 2: why I came out so so real fire, you know,

320
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: ready to go my uh you know, my rookie year

321
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 2: because I was I just had to advantage already.

322
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: Other players that you've seen overseas, like who was no

323
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: players you've seen over seas.

324
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 3: You were like, man, he can play in the league.

325
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 3: He nice. Well.

326
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 2: My first year overseas, when I played Ricky Ruvio, he

327
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 2: was good to me. I just he just was way

328
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 2: more mature than a lot of us because he's been

329
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 2: playing professional basketball since he was like sixteen. So he

330
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 2: was one of the you know, actually one of the

331
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 2: guys for real that I was really paying attention to

332
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 2: a lot.

333
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 3: What you think about like Luca, Like now you see

334
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 3: Luca come out from over there, and.

335
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm not I mean, I mean, I'm

336
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: not surprised because the game in Europe is different. You know,

337
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 2: it's a lot going on. It's a way different, it's

338
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 2: way more physical. So he just out there toring, touring

339
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 2: around now because you know, you can't touch him and

340
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 2: he has the freedom to do whatever. So I mean,

341
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 2: to be nineteen twenty years old when when a you're

342
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 2: a you know, a cup and you know, be MVP

343
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 2: and all that. That's this over here is nothing.

344
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: So when you decided to go to the drift, what

345
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: team did you think you was going to go to?

346
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: Outside of the team the draft.

347
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 2: I thought I was going to the Knicks for sure,

348
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 2: because that was one of the workouts that I had

349
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 2: circled and that was actually one of my my best workouts,

350
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 2: that one in Milwaukee.

351
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 3: And then I guess me and Scott Scouts we just

352
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 3: clicked and you know, I guess he.

353
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 5: Just liked what I did.

354
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 3: And that's raal, you know, that's rare for us. Scott.

355
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 5: Scott was cool man.

356
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean Scott, I mean, to me, Scott

357
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 3: was cool. I mean I was nineteen.

358
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: He just gave me the ball and just let me go,

359
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 2: like you know, and to be a hard nose coach

360
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 2: like he is, Like everybody say, you know what I'm

361
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 2: saying that was rare, Like, you know, he really had

362
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 2: a lot of trust in me.

363
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: Your seventh game, you score fifty five, and the biggest

364
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: league there is, you score fifty five. Like my rookie year,

365
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: if I got a fifty five, I probably wouldn't be

366
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: here today. I got fifty five my seventh game. You

367
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying in La, Oh my god, Like right,

368
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: but for you to score fifty five your seventh game

369
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: in the NBA and this is the highest level that

370
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: that's like give you some type of validation, like, yeah,

371
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: I'm good enough to play on this level.

372
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 3: Uh well, I always knew I was good enough.

373
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 2: I felt like, you know, from Summer League and throughout everything,

374
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 2: or even before the those games. Because my first game

375
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 2: I had almost had a triple double. I had seventeen

376
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 2: ninety nine in Philly and it was my first game.

377
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 2: I was like, all right, like I'm ready, but doing

378
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 2: that in three quarters I was, I was, I don't know, man,

379
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 2: like I didn't really know what was going on.

380
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 3: I was still young, I was still twenty.

381
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 2: I was just like, man, I know I got practiced tomorrow,

382
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 2: and I know Scott. Scott's gonna be on my ass Like,

383
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 2: so I really didn't have chance to like really celebrate

384
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 2: and at least soak it in.

385
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 3: It was just more like back to work.

386
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: What about now since you retired and you look back

387
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: on your success, you having a fifty five point yeah,

388
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: like my career highs forty seven.

389
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 3: With your forty four, shit fifty five. Not many players

390
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 3: in the NBA.

391
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 2: You got double nickels fifty five point yeah, and I

392
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 2: think like twenty assists, right, you was there in Detroit. Yeah, yeah,

393
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 2: a twenty twenty game too.

394
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

395
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: I know you got some stats and stuff on the list, Like,

396
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: but do you look back on it now that you

397
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: so far removed from the game, you know, you can

398
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: appreciate your accomplishment.

399
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I played ten years as a pro.

400
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm only so I can still go back

401
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 2: and play if I want to. But right now, I'm

402
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 2: just doing something different in my life that I'm happy with.

403
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 2: That I found another love and passion for it. But

404
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know if it's over yet.

405
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: You know, I feel like I'm gonna just wake up

406
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 2: one day and just start hooping again.

407
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: Oh man, I'm glad we got this right here. I'm

408
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: glad we got this right when you came up. Who

409
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: are you paying your game after? Like, because like you

410
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: got it? You was different. You was like you was

411
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: special to me, and it was just like you know

412
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: in this league, like sometimes you can be putting the

413
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: best position and you can see or sometimes you don't

414
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: get the opportunity to get that spot too. You gotta

415
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: be kind of a role player. But you was special

416
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: to me. Like who did you use to watch coming

417
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: up that you was like, I want to play like man,

418
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: Kenny Anderson. Kenny Anderson, Kenny answer is the greatest point

419
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: guy ever. Yeah, like Kenny Anderson.

420
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 2: I had got a tape of Kenny Anderson in eighth

421
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 2: grade from a friend and it was all his Georgia

422
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 2: Tech highlights.

423
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 3: I used to watch that every day as a kid.

424
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 3: Sixteen tape. Yeah tape.

425
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: So you from the Bucks, like you know, you travel

426
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: on teams, you played for a couple of different teams

427
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: and so forth, phone and you know the politics of

428
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: the game. What was that one city that you was like,

429
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: I feel comfortable here.

430
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: I would have to say, Man, I love Milwaukee for

431
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 2: sure my first four years and you know I grew

432
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 2: to love Detroit. You know, at first, me and Stan,

433
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: I don't think we really got a loan too well.

434
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 2: But when we went on that run before I tore

435
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 2: my achilles, I found I just felt like I was

436
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 2: coming to myself. You know, I figured it out. You know,

437
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 2: I figured out the game. You know, Stan really started

438
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: trusting me a lot, and you know, we was just

439
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 2: running the table for me. I think we were two

440
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 2: games out of that. And then once I tore my achilles,

441
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 2: the game like, yeah, the game of basketball. Yeah, in

442
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 2: Milwaukee too, It's just like the game mentally just changed

443
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 2: for me, like the love of it just kind of

444
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 2: like because a lot of stuff start happening to me

445
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 2: off the court and I just like like just like life, ship,

446
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 2: family stuff, friends, and it was just more.

447
00:18:58,520 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 3: Like all right, like this is weird.

448
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you're the first person to have their

449
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: own shoe with under Armor. Yeah, what was that like

450
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,479
Speaker 1: like for a company to see where it's at now?

451
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: Like Steph Curry is basically was first one to start,

452
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: right Yeah. Yeah, so yeah, so that's what came with

453
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: the deal overseas. You know, that's when I first time

454
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: and they gave my first shoe deal. And then after

455
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: my first year. Then that's when I got my first

456
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: signature show. I think I got two signatures, the Black

457
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: Ice and the Bloodlines.

458
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 3: You kind of brought it over here.

459
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 5: Yeah. Before that, it was like the under was just

460
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 5: we must protect the house, like.

461
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you brought it. You basically brought it into basketball. Yeah,

462
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 3: Christine Ryan drew those guys over there unarmoured. Man. We was, man,

463
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 3: it was.

464
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 2: It was tough because you know, it's new. It was new,

465
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 2: and you know it was tough to get people to

466
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 2: kind of buy into it. But of course, you know,

467
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 2: signing stuff was such a such a big accomplishment for them,

468
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 2: and you know, the company has grown.

469
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 4: How was it for you to be hooping in New

470

475
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 3: liked I liked playing in the tryangle.

476
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 2: It was it was actually all right because I got

477
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 2: you know, I understood it, but I don't know, it

478
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 2: was just like I guess, just the outside of it,

479
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 2: like the outside.

480
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 3: Of the drama.

481
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 2: Everything going on with Mellow and Field at that time,

482
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 2: and it just took a lot of distraction away from

483
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 2: the team from what we need to accomplish. You know,

484
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 2: you have Derek Rose over there that's still trying to

485
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,959
Speaker 2: you know, come into it, coming back to and everybody,

486
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: so we're all trying to prove ourselves. And then I

487
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 2: just felt like that little drama right there just kind

488
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 2: of just you know, it just took a lot of

489
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 2: energy off the team.

490
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 5: Talk about because there's something I know you did.

491
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 4: You went to the Rutger Yeah, and went and put

492
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,160

493
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 4: in the Mecca and the energy. Talk about you when

495
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:55,360

00:20:55,400 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 2: They called me like the equalizer. Do we do like

497
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 2: all type of games, but not New York I mean

498
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 2: New York basketball. I mean, you know, that's that's everything.

499
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 2: Rutger Park back in those days, playing at West Fourth

500
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 2: just showing up, you know what I'm saying, just pick

501
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 2: up games.

502
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 3: Those times were like amazing.

503
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 2: Then they had to lead twenty four then at the

504
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 2: ABCD camp back in the day in New Jersey, and

505
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 2: then they used to take a bunch of us, oj

506
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 2: Meil Billy Walker, and they used to take us and

507
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 2: we used to go play in the Kingdome and the

508
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 2: Rucker Park. Like after the tournament was over, jay Z

509
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 2: would come and it's made back and stuff. It was crazy,

510
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 2: crazy times back then with Sonny crazy talk.

511
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 4: About the influence like right now, like you are part

512
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 4: of the group, and even after you like right now,

513
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 4: LA basketball is like thriving, you know what I'm saying.

514
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 4: For sure with how many individual players y'all got across

515
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 4: the league and you know the level of them, you know,

516
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 4: the superstar All Star type players. Talk about the impact

517
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 4: of Paul Pierce, of Baron Davis and Andre Miller you know, had.

518
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 5: On the whole LA unified community.

519
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 4: I would say from you know, all of the guys,

520
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 4: you know, all the guys that y'all consist stuff, But

521
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 4: I feel like those three guys were three of the

522
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 4: OG type guys that came before y'all to kind of

523
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 4: set the table because before, I mean, you had Tay Shane,

524
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 4: it was my class, but before that LA was kind

525
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 4: of looked at y'all sawt and not really you know

526
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 4: what I'm saying, But I feel like Paul b D.

527
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 4: Dre and then Tayshine even right behind him in my

528
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 4: class because they had a lot of respect with us.

529
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 5: He wasn't seeing as soft for any of that. He

530
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 5: was a real boy out there.

531
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 4: So I would say those four guys had a real

532
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 4: impact on changing the way country why y'all were seen

533
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 4: as a as a basketball community.

534
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I just feel like the reason why LA

535
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 2: basketball is so good because we were young. I mean you,

536
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 2: I think myself, Damar DeRozan, you know, Paul, George, Russell, Rostbrook.

537
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 3: James Harden.

538
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 2: We was all young going to seeing Tyson Chandler and

539
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 2: seeing you guys in high school, so it was different.

540
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 3: Like what we seen.

541
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 2: So when we got older, you know, going to the

542
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 2: real run, going to the jew League and things like that.

543
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 2: When we were young, it's like, yeah, like that helped

Speaker 4: That's something that us as athletes we deal with. You

783
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 4: was a position where you just was you were the man,

784
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 4: and you knew what you could do too and with

785
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 4: him whenever you wanted. But then you sitting up with

786
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 4: your leg, not knowing what are your career about to go?

787
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.

788
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 4: Obviously you recover life that, but you not knowing in

789
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 4: that moment where you about to go. Then you seeing

790
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 4: him sign for money, you feel like that my money,

791
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 4: my team, Like I don't get hurt like that ain't happening.

792
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 3: You know.

793
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 1: It used to eat me up, like my drafts. You know,

794
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,280
Speaker 1: you get drafts with your careers and so forth. Phone,

795
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: and I'm seeing everybody in my draft playing on a

796
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: playoff contendent team and I'm playing on either one of

797
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: the worst teams in the NBA or you know what

798
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Every year I never got on a contingent team.

799
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,399
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. That shit used to eat

800
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: me up that I can't get the opportunity because you know,

801
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: the playoffs is the biggest stage. Like the season is cool,

802
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: like you know, you get your properly. If you play

803
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: in a playoff game and do your thing, that's like

804
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: a higher respect and level. And for me not to

805
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: be able to get that, that shit used to just

806
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: eat me up, and that be mentally getting to you

807
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: where you know, you start making bad decisions.

808
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 4: And basically what you what you like what people don't

809
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 4: realize a lot of times us as athletes, whether it's

810
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 4: you know, football, baseball, whatever it is. You know, most guys,

811
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,439
Speaker 4: if you lucky, you know, you retired like thirty five,

812
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 4: Like that's if you lucky, like you get that'll be

813
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 4: fourteen fifteen. But that's that's long you're lucky. So let's

814
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 4: say if you retired thirty two, thirty ten, twelve years whatever.

815
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,959
Speaker 4: So that means regardless how much money you saved and accumulated,

816
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 4: like at thirty thirty two years old, nobody's about like

817
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,919
Speaker 4: really gonna just not do anything. So whatever you want

818
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 4: to do next, you have to basically figure out what

819
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 4: you're gonna do next and go pro again, right like

820
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 4: you feel me, Like the same way we made it

821
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 4: all the way to the NBA to the top level

822
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 4: and grind it bust i ass to get here to

823
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 4: the pinnacle.

824
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 5: Now you done.

825
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 4: So whatever you're gonna do next, you start next ground

826
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 4: zero and you gotta make your way back up to

827
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 4: the pinnacle. Like so what you're doing with tough crowd,

828
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 4: that's a salute you. You went and took yourself back

829
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 4: from ground zero and elevated yourself to I'm doing this

830
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 4: shit now no different than us when we was out

831
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 4: Like he talking about how he was in the regards

832
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 4: of where how we came from. In this podcast, we've

833
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 4: made ourselves another career, another lane in that where we've

834
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 4: we're pro you know what I'm saying. So like we

835
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 4: if you think about most people didn't have careers doctors, lawyers,

836
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 4: like they make they once they passed the bar, once

837
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 4: they get their pahd, I'm good, I'm set for life.

838
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 5: I'm about to eat us as athletes. That's not the case,

839
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying.

840
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 4: Like now, like this generation should be the first probably

841
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 4: iteration of it where they should once they get through

842
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 4: hoop and y'all shouldn't have to do nothing.

843
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they about to start making with fifty

844
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 3: But I mean just even.

845
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 4: I mean even, I mean not just by the money

846
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 4: they making, but just by the trial and era of

847
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 4: all of all of the generations before them, like seeing

848
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 4: what was done incorrectly and now they can bridge that gap.

849
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 4: Like you see the money the way they situate, like

850
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 4: how we had our our retirement fund, like now you

851
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 4: see they got a fund before the retirement from so

852
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 4: like as soon as you officially retired, they got something

853
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 4: to bridge that got to you get to your pension,

854
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 4: whereas that's something that's put in place because they've learned it. Okay,

855
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 4: the pension is cool, but they got to make it

856
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 4: to the pension. So now these kids coming through, they

857
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 4: should for sure, and I'm sure it's.

858
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 5: Always gonna be something that slipped through the crack and whatever,

859
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 5: but like they through our trialing era and those before

860
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 5: us and after us, like they can correct that and

861
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 5: help them and be And like you said, the money

862
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 5: so astronomical now that nobody should be popped off, all

863
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 5: us sitting here. It's a salute, like we should.

864
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 4: Feel good we didn't after basketball went pro again. That's

865
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 4: that's a salute, that's for sure.

00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 4: from you know what I'm saying, He probably would have

912
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,200

917
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 4: just in the G League at one point, then got

918
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,320
Speaker 4: back in the league and then obviously they had the

919
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,359

Speaker 4: even though like I say, when I say Steve Franz,

937
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 4: I mean in the sense like if you think about

938
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 4: when Steve first came in the league, bro, Steve have

939
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 4: the most exciting sixteen point and you've ever seen, and.

940
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,720
Speaker 5: You'll be like, damn, you only got sixteen or eighteen,

941
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 5: but but it'd be behind the back boom boom, and

942
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 5: it'd be like everything was loud and disrupted. You think

943
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 5: he got like twenty five thirty.

944
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,120

945
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 4: and he got some different intangents. But I'm just talking

946
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:21,600
