Speaker 1: very respected brother Brookie of the Bookie of the Year,
Speaker 1: so many accolades. We don't get into it. And we
Speaker 1: also want to talk about the other brother that's here. Uh.
Speaker 1: I thought it would be dope that to have these
Speaker 1: two together and the other one, oh my god, is
Speaker 1: a legend. We heard that he came in the game
Speaker 1: rich with prel he no, they said they side and
Speaker 1: he was already rich. Like is going on from the
Speaker 1: act this question. I can't even speak outside, but it's
Speaker 1: his city, his state is going through a lot right now,
Speaker 1: and I think it was important to hear something somebody
Speaker 1: from there. So in case you don't know what we
Speaker 1: talked about. What your motherfucking mark, motherfucker what he's talking
Speaker 1: to you? Immediately it's I'm about the light of blood
Speaker 1: and I want to know you're out the NBA. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're not testing no more. No, But you think you
Speaker 1: think it's beneficially for an athlete to burn or what
Speaker 1: is your stance on that. I mean, for me, when
Speaker 1: I played, I didn't smoke at all, Okay, because it
Speaker 1: affects my cardio, affects my my mental approach to the game,
Speaker 1: but everybody reacts differently to it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So it depends on your intact. You know, if you
Speaker 1: your intake, so if you can if you can handle
Speaker 1: it and you can focus in and keep your card
Speaker 1: your baschlor. But had you before that, like before you
Speaker 1: were no, so you hadn't at all. So whenever, whenever
Speaker 1: I played right. Never, So it was the way after
Speaker 1: your career that you started. I mean you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. Off seasons you have like a month, okay,
Speaker 1: like a week or two, and then you start back
Speaker 1: training and then it all goes back to I canna
Speaker 1: tell you a serious guy, like I tell you, don't
Speaker 1: put no came. But let me ask you one more.
Speaker 1: It's gonna hurt me to ask this question. It's the
Speaker 1: Knicks ever gonna be good? Ever? I mean possibly? Bro. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they got a good they got a good squad now
Speaker 1: because I see you working with the nets right with
Speaker 1: the nets. But you mean we got a good squad now,
Speaker 1: just what I'm saying. In the playoffs right now, they
Speaker 1: got you know, they were a C seven C yeah
Speaker 1: defense team in the league right now. Wow. Wow, I
Speaker 1: didn't know that about the loop. That's what we got. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm dreaming sport. I want to say what's up. I'm
Speaker 1: not to everybody, but how about when you got into
Speaker 1: the league, you've always been like, like Norway said, super serious, humble,
Speaker 1: but strong dominant player. Is that like an everyday attitude
Speaker 1: when you when you got up on the court, for sure,
Speaker 1: when you're coming from Florida's another Florida home team. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I grew up in Florida, was raised New York,
Speaker 1: and I moved back to Florida for high school. Um so,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean on the court, I was always
Speaker 1: like trying to dominate. There's enough proof that you that
Speaker 1: you've done it year after year. But one of the
Speaker 1: good questions I have that I thought was, how's that
Speaker 1: high school? Straight from high school to the NBA. There's
Speaker 1: many athletes that done it and like a hand like
Speaker 1: a handful Kobe, Moses Malone. How do you feel being
Speaker 1: that group? Kevin Gardner? Yeah, Well, for me, I was
Speaker 1: in high school man Florida and my freshman year I
Speaker 1: transferred to North Carolina. So the sharp in my hand
Speaker 1: my last year was my last day I was at
Speaker 1: the school and I wrote on the bleachers straight of
Speaker 1: high school, the wall, straight out of high school, and
Speaker 1: I let only it was coming straight on, straight up. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: manifested the lights off. No, I think that was the
Speaker 1: ghost an easy say. Don't make a joke about my ship.
Speaker 1: But somebody that people didn't want to play. They know
Speaker 1: the Phoenix Suns is coming up. They know Marve Stodo
Speaker 1: minds coming up. The big man got got something to
Speaker 1: deal with. Yeah, for sure, Man, I came out. I
Speaker 1: came out with no fear. Bro I was eighteen years
Speaker 1: old and I was drafted, and I was like, look,
Speaker 1: I'm here. You know I'm gonna state. You feel me?
Speaker 1: So when I came out, I was like trying to
Speaker 1: dominate every chance I got. And that was my mentality,
Speaker 1: even though as a player out of high school, I
Speaker 1: only played two years of high school basketball two years.
Speaker 1: Two years so I played. I started playing at fourteen
Speaker 1: years old. I got drafted the eighteen but my high
Speaker 1: school career I played only two years my freshman year
Speaker 1: my senior year. So it was like once I got there,
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I'm here. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So I took it over from there. You know that
Speaker 1: a judgment period it's tough for anybody. But let's say
Speaker 1: you from Florida and you went to New York and
Speaker 1: then he went to Phoenix. The weather didn't affect you. You
Speaker 1: You weren't ready, you said, the hot Yeah, that was
Speaker 1: cool with that, because when I was in Floyd, I
Speaker 1: went to Phoenix, was already hot, and I wanted to
Speaker 1: go back. I wanted to go to New York and
Speaker 1: play for the Knicks. And so when I signed with
Speaker 1: the Knicks, I wasn't concerned with the weather at all.
Speaker 1: I was like, look at that point, yeah, yeah, so
Speaker 1: I was ready that I was ready from that point
Speaker 1: for sure. So slim thug man, Um, I'm gonna be honest,
Speaker 1: it's so real that I had never heard of snow
Speaker 1: in Texas at all. I've never heard of that. Like,
Speaker 1: it was so real that when I first saw it
Speaker 1: on Twitter, I thought it was a joke because people
Speaker 1: say it's snowing in Texas, like and like obviously for
Speaker 1: those first minutes where it was on Twitter, it was
Speaker 1: no tragedies at the time. It was just snow and
Speaker 1: and did I went back and I'm like, what this
Speaker 1: possums freezing? Is pikes rolling? Yeah? Yeah, we try yeah,
Speaker 1: isn't that we haven't heard of it either. Man. They
Speaker 1: said that they haven't happened to Houston since like the
Speaker 1: nineteen thirties. Man, it has slowed in the Houston before.
Speaker 1: It has before, like if we consider it's like Miami clients, right,
Speaker 1: but it's like it's not real snow. It's like a
Speaker 1: little on the grass, no real, you know. And that
Speaker 1: shut the whole city now. So what we've seen right
Speaker 1: here was something we ain't never seen before. So it
Speaker 1: like toured a lot of stuff. It busted the pipes
Speaker 1: all over the city, you know, and then they had
Speaker 1: that black ice of pile piles up, pile ups was
Speaker 1: going on in Fort Worth and stuff. So it's pretty bad. Man,
Speaker 1: water stop. You know a lot of people still ain't
Speaker 1: got their stuff back. So it's crazy. Blessed man. I can't.
Speaker 1: I couldn't. I never thought that, man, I never can. Miami,
Speaker 1: they slow. What happen to anything? It happened like used to.
Speaker 1: I've seen some in guess like Hell came down to
Speaker 1: it and it was as hell. Let me started Jerusalem,
Speaker 1: bro when I was one of the time around. It's
Speaker 1: not like where Jesus is from going outside around that time,
Speaker 1: really wing outside in the storm. I don't know about that.
Speaker 1: It's crazy, man, Monday ain't nothing with Holy moly molye man.
Speaker 1: So playing for the Knicks, right, what kind of fans
Speaker 1: are the Knicks fans? The Knicks fans to me, what
Speaker 1: I figured out was like they are very into the team.
Speaker 1: You're feeling like they know drinking. I'm ahead of you.
Speaker 1: I'm drinking by the way we're drinking called right here
Speaker 1: is the origin. Yeah. So when I played with the Knicks, man,
Speaker 1: it was like the fans actually were What I found
Speaker 1: out was very like in formative. You know, they know
Speaker 1: the stats, that know the players, that know the draft picks,
Speaker 1: they know the coaches, and they also are like, we
Speaker 1: gotta get the owner out of here. Let's be clear.
Speaker 1: I'm not what's on the star no, because listen he yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I went on that. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know much about that. You know the owner, right,
Speaker 1: what's his name? Yeah? Yeah, I ain't never gonna play basketball.
Speaker 1: So it's okay. I don't like you, buddy, like the
Speaker 1: older I don't like you, bro. Yeah, you should give over,
Speaker 1: like you know, because it's just like he doesn't care.
Speaker 1: As long as they're still seats. We shall always be
Speaker 1: seats with the always cease for the Knicks, right sure, Okay,
Speaker 1: but Ki, I think I'll cut you off. You know
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I was saying the fans. The fans are
Speaker 1: more so like in tune with everything. I feel me
Speaker 1: so so. And one thing is aggravating about the fans
Speaker 1: are if you have one bad game, it's like the
Speaker 1: world's ending tomorrow. You know what I'm saying. It's like, wait, guys,
Speaker 1: eighty two games within a year. Guys are not Guy's
Speaker 1: gonna be talking. Guy's gonna have a bad game or two.
Speaker 1: But I do love the fans because they're so informative
Speaker 1: and it makes you play to a high level, you know.
Speaker 1: So that's another transition. You went from the West coast
Speaker 1: to the East coast, how PhoX Coast, the west coast, Arizona,
Speaker 1: that is the west coast, it's right now to California's right.
Speaker 1: I was in Arizona one time. It was so hot
Speaker 1: that I sweated in my sweat dehydrate like I didn't like.
Speaker 1: It was so like smaller evaporated and evaporated. That's how
Speaker 1: hot it was. Like by the time I were like this,
Speaker 1: it was gone. But I felt like, damn it. All right,
Speaker 1: So that's the West Coast, you said, going from the West,
Speaker 1: How do you prepared for that? I mean going back
Speaker 1: home because it's New York. Are You're familiar with that?
Speaker 1: But it's a different professional adjustment it was, I mean
Speaker 1: the West Coast. I was always in l A. So
Speaker 1: I lived in l A every summer for eight years.
Speaker 1: So I lived in l A like the entire time
Speaker 1: while I played in Phoenix for the summers. But then
Speaker 1: when I moved to New York, it was like I'm
Speaker 1: going back to the crib, you know. So all my
Speaker 1: friends that I grew up with, for the friends I
Speaker 1: knew along the years, were already there. So it was
Speaker 1: an easy transition for me. And then basketballs were similar
Speaker 1: because the coach right then, Tonio was my coach in Phoenix,
Speaker 1: and the staff and the staff and the staff was there.
Speaker 1: It was already organized for me. I had a lot
Speaker 1: of young guys who was like none all stars, not
Speaker 1: familiar with going to the playoffs, not for MELI with
Speaker 1: like championship caliber basketball. So I did somewhat teach them
Speaker 1: along the way. Practiced by practice, game by game to
Speaker 1: build their confidence up to where they play high level basketball.
Speaker 1: Do you accept that mentorship role at that point? Are
Speaker 1: you still dogs? No? No, no, I was. I was
Speaker 1: still me, you know. But at the same time, they
Speaker 1: saw the way I work, they saw my actions. It
Speaker 1: wasn't that I was also going to the Matt Gallis,
Speaker 1: I'm going to the Broadway shows, I'm going to the
Speaker 1: fashion shows, all that extra. But at the same time
Speaker 1: they saw me at practice early training saying in the weights,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, it's so all that. So
Speaker 1: then therefore when they saw that, they started to raising
Speaker 1: their game up and realizing, like, I bet because when
Speaker 1: I'm moving to New York, no player living in the city.
Speaker 1: Hold on, no one lies in the city. Man, listen,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna find me a penthouse and man having them
Speaker 1: in Jordan, New York and also bring high level basketball.
Speaker 1: And who's who's who. Who's harder to play against? Lebron
Speaker 1: or Kobe. Man, that's tough. That's tough because Kobe has
Speaker 1: a different type of intellect with the game. I feel
Speaker 1: like Kobe was talking, he was talking to you, you know, well,
Speaker 1: he talked whenever you talked to him. Okay, he was
Speaker 1: all business and it was like strategic Lebron. It was
Speaker 1: probably harder to play against because he was also more explosive.
Speaker 1: So it's like, you guard Lebron, you can actually, I
Speaker 1: take that back. Kobe's heart of the guard because Kobe
Speaker 1: was like, you know, there was no weaknesses. Well, Lebron,
Speaker 1: we said, all right, make him shoot, we back off.
Speaker 1: Make him shooting if you get hot. Alright, bet you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. He won that one. But but
Speaker 1: sometimes he may not get hot, so you can back
Speaker 1: off Lebron. That changed somewhat now because he's a much
Speaker 1: better shooter now. But Kobe was like, you can't back
Speaker 1: off of him. You can't force him laugh, you can't
Speaker 1: make him turn around jumper. Like everything we try to
Speaker 1: make him do, he does well. So it's like no
Speaker 1: game planning for Kobe. It's crazy. That's from minute one
Speaker 1: to minute for the game. For he's a different animal.
Speaker 1: He's a whole different player now. He's like even more
Speaker 1: focused and like even more dominant. Talk about k Lebron's
Speaker 1: also Lebron is like an even guy's gonna give you
Speaker 1: twenty five eight cod is gonna get you forty five
Speaker 1: fifty points at times, like Lebron slows down where Kobe.
Speaker 1: I feel like Kobe and Jordan was like more killers
Speaker 1: straight for that assessment, and Lebron is a killer too,
Speaker 1: but it's more of like he had to get taught
Speaker 1: that Lebron. Lebrons are all around basketball player. He's a
Speaker 1: complete basketball player, you know what I'm saying. Like he
Speaker 1: does everything, you know, he does everything good. Right, Kobe
Speaker 1: was a great score. It wasn't as good as a
Speaker 1: passing Lebron. He's not a rebound guy like Lebron, but
Speaker 1: he's a great score and a great leader. So he
Speaker 1: was able to, like, you know, facilitate the game in
Speaker 1: that way. It's crazy, man, between being up having Steve
Speaker 1: Nash and Phoenix and Thens to having Raymond Fellon in
Speaker 1: New York. Is it fair to say that you have
Speaker 1: chemistry the same? Yeah, it was the same, Bro, It
Speaker 1: was the same. Yeah. I mean Steve Nash is more
Speaker 1: of a he's a He's a ninety forty nine forty
Speaker 1: guy right from the free throw line line, from three
Speaker 1: and fifty from the field, right, So that's very rare
Speaker 1: to have ray was So that made Steve like a
Speaker 1: better player from that standpoint, but Ray was also very
Speaker 1: good because he's a player. When you have a dominant
Speaker 1: big who can like get him open and then create
Speaker 1: office for himself and draw draw the deepense in and
Speaker 1: where guys are open, so it makes the job easier
Speaker 1: for point guards if you got shooters. So Ray was
Speaker 1: able to adjust and we spend time together. We like
Speaker 1: talked in practice, we went over a few things after practice.
Speaker 1: We built chemistry. So it may Ray even the all
Speaker 1: star caliber point guard because we built that chemistry, saying,
Speaker 1: as I did with Steve, a slim thug, I gotta
Speaker 1: access rumor, Man does they say? Because they say, Jimmy
Speaker 1: I Bean signed you, right, and then you was was
Speaker 1: was with a right, But the rumor was that she
Speaker 1: was rich already. Right. That's yeah, it was pretty much ship.
Speaker 1: Now that wasn't as bad as you think that. It
Speaker 1: was really like it was really just from underground music.
Speaker 1: I was an underground artist and you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And when I first I started in nineteen, I was
Speaker 1: seventeen in high school, so you know that was so
Speaker 1: you know, I was killing them back then, making money, uh,
Speaker 1: doing underground mixtapes, but the only thing it was chopping
Speaker 1: screw you know, so if you from out of town,
Speaker 1: you ain't never listen to that. You never knew who
Speaker 1: the hell I was. You know, your taste was originally
Speaker 1: that what you got rich off was choppling, was chopping screwed,
Speaker 1: rapping on y'all beat. So it was like, you know,
Speaker 1: that's how people knew me, you know, from rapping on
Speaker 1: you know everybody, everybody else beating and being chopped and screwed.
Speaker 1: And then um, later on we did still tipping and
Speaker 1: that came out, and that was something that crossed over
Speaker 1: out of the Texas chopping screw market and me Mike
Speaker 1: Johnson power. So actually I was already signed. I was
Speaker 1: actually already signed before that though, you know, just out
Speaker 1: of you know what I'm seeing what I was doing,
Speaker 1: you know, independently for real, came to the city, and
Speaker 1: it was a few people came out, you boy, I
Speaker 1: came got me everybody. You know. That's the problem. You know,
Speaker 1: we just was doing our thing. Um you know, underground
Speaker 1: Independent was making so much money. We just didn't want
Speaker 1: to sign no deals. It was like, we ain't gonna
Speaker 1: get y'all this and we're already making this, you know
Speaker 1: at home. We'd rather just get the money and be famous.
Speaker 1: So that's how you know started. And then eventually Jimmy
Speaker 1: Aveenham gave me a deal where I can still do
Speaker 1: my independent underground stuff, so it made sense. That's crazy
Speaker 1: that they would create those deals like that because you
Speaker 1: understood that the remember and then was kind of signed
Speaker 1: to Jimmy Irving, and Jimmy Irving gave him to Drake
Speaker 1: No no, but what he's saying. They're a loud and
Speaker 1: still sell the underground tape right to screw right, you know,
Speaker 1: doing that because the thing is you couldn't sunk with
Speaker 1: Texas markets like this. They were doing that. Already always
Speaker 1: knew the label. I always knew this is gonna be
Speaker 1: an artist to come from Texas that don't leave him
Speaker 1: sell nowhere else but Texas. Right, that's how big it is, Texas.
Speaker 1: That's how big Texas is. Like this, I've been been
Speaker 1: going on tour with Texas different times on like one
Speaker 1: was tupposed you could drive an hour in Houston, you
Speaker 1: know somewhere in Houston like that. Yeah, I still can't
Speaker 1: get over this. This this this what is it this
Speaker 1: is what's it called global warming? That this is a
Speaker 1: sign a global warming? Definitely a sign. Like I said,
Speaker 1: we ain't never seen that either, We've never seen this not.
Speaker 1: That's why we were prepared when Jesus was born. Snow
Speaker 1: isn't run, it's little. Oh my god, you're thinking. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't thinking like you know, they're more
Speaker 1: animals or something. I don't know. It's crazy, man, you're
Speaker 1: really going there, You're really going to this. Yeah, Like
Speaker 1: I follow you on Instagram, I feel like you know
Speaker 1: I'm in there. Bro. I was there for four years.
Speaker 1: Yeah but really wow. Also, yeah, I was also planned.
Speaker 1: But you didn't go there to play. You went there
Speaker 1: to study. Yeah, for sure. Described describe that because this
Speaker 1: is like I believe you're the only person I know
Speaker 1: like this. Yeah, because I mean, like what that that
Speaker 1: that got this rich and then goes and wasn't better?
Speaker 1: And you know that's kind of this is dope. Yeah man,
Speaker 1: was it was definitely, Um, it happened. It happened naturally, bro.
Speaker 1: It wasn't never a plan of me growing up, like
Speaker 1: I want to go more to his raem just happened.
Speaker 1: But you moved there. Yeah. Oh ship. Yeah, I was there.
Speaker 1: I was I was there four years. I moved there.
Speaker 1: More so in Jerusalem. I was in for three years
Speaker 1: and one year in television, because Jerusalem it's pretty bugged
Speaker 1: out because all the Muslims, the Christians, and the Jews
Speaker 1: are all there together and they will take you must them, right,
Speaker 1: is that? Like? No, No, they really didn't. They didn't
Speaker 1: know what to think, be honest with you, because I was,
Speaker 1: first of all, I was going into play, So it
Speaker 1: took a lot of their eyes off of like a
Speaker 1: religious side and more so like the athletic basketball side.
Speaker 1: So I was able to somewhat you know, getting golfed
Speaker 1: in it without being like a religious guy and whatever
Speaker 1: whatever sector, you know what I'm saying. But I grew
Speaker 1: up in Israelite, you know what I'm saying. So my family,
Speaker 1: my family hebridge of lights, and so I was able
Speaker 1: to somewhat learn from that growing up. And then it
Speaker 1: just gravitated me to go to Israel and see what
Speaker 1: I've been learning firsthand. Wow, So I just went. I
Speaker 1: went there on on that space that they didn't have
Speaker 1: a nifelife, that they got clubs out there, Israel's they
Speaker 1: got in the man, pretty religious. But Israel as a whole,
Speaker 1: like tell Aviva's wild. I mean, they got the South
Speaker 1: Beach out there. Ain't listen, they got anything out of there.
Speaker 1: You got the Mediterranean see right, So in the Mediterranean
Speaker 1: Sea is on the coast line of Java down to
Speaker 1: tele Aviv, all through Herzelia. So all this time it's
Speaker 1: all beach town. It sounds like all flies everybody. I think.
Speaker 1: I think about this to all the Jewish people that
Speaker 1: are there. Came from different parts of the world and
Speaker 1: went to Israel. So now you have this mixed culture
Speaker 1: of beautiful people that you've seen all these kinds of people,
Speaker 1: exotic eyes and this amazing curly hair and this happening,
Speaker 1: and this is happening like you know, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: They say that Israel as much love as China does
Speaker 1: to the athletes in the NBA or the ball game,
Speaker 1: rather than told, yeah, you have a lot of guys
Speaker 1: that played over there. I mean Nick Robinson played there
Speaker 1: for a while. You have a lot of knocked out,
Speaker 1: a lot of NBA. Yeah right, you one I saw
Speaker 1: a need to be back because could you go listen.
Speaker 1: I don't know who this training was man, because he
Speaker 1: was like fighting like a street fight because it fed
Speaker 1: to say because it was against Jake Paul. No, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. I mean he just was fighting like not
Speaker 1: in the boxing stands. He was throwing wild, sweating your hooks.
Speaker 1: He was like, just bad training, Bro, had to be
Speaker 1: bad training, bad training. Well I never heard of breaking
Speaker 1: down that way bad training. That would be bad training, Bro.
Speaker 1: I can tell you with him, you don't believe it
Speaker 1: on him. And it's my my Big Three parting. You know,
Speaker 1: he played a Big Three. It was the Big Three.
Speaker 1: It was you know actually the first time we met.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know you're parting me a lot of people,
Speaker 1: but I was in Brooklyn for that game and I
Speaker 1: went in the post game and with you when Julia's
Speaker 1: the legend Julie, Yeah like that. So I was able
Speaker 1: to talk to you for both of you for absolutely
Speaker 1: absolutely man to me over the name ship Man Bad.
Speaker 1: So is it is it a plus when you're working
Speaker 1: with a super producer assigned to a superducer or is
Speaker 1: it is it a minus? Because you know, I don't know. Uh,
Speaker 1: the process was fun. That was the best uh process
Speaker 1: I ever had making an album. Um, it's more expensive,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, to get your money back
Speaker 1: in there. You know. On the other side, it gotta
Speaker 1: be work. It just gotta work, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: If it's working, if you if you got it and
Speaker 1: you're working with him and y'all making hiss and it's
Speaker 1: going crazy, it's good. But if it ain't going like that,
Speaker 1: then it ain't gonna make sense. Shou ain't gonna add up,
Speaker 1: you know. But at the end of the day, man
Speaker 1: working with for real, that was the best process I
Speaker 1: ever had. But I had more success in doing it
Speaker 1: without him, you know what I'm saying, Like independently honestly,
Speaker 1: Like you know what I'm saying, so independent, Uh, you
Speaker 1: wish you would have stayed independent. Now I'm happy I
Speaker 1: did that, Honestly. I had a great time. Like it
Speaker 1: was really a life changing thing. Like it was so
Speaker 1: much inspiration, you know what I'm saying. And even just
Speaker 1: being in this presence talking to him, traveling to Japan
Speaker 1: when you know, going to Nego Crib and you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, It's like it was just so mind blowing.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he put it in plays for me to
Speaker 1: do stuff with Gwen step funny and you know, and
Speaker 1: maybe Beyonce no telling, you know, he skateboard p you know,
Speaker 1: so no telling how far that took me. So I'm
Speaker 1: definitely happy. And and that's like probably my favorite album,
Speaker 1: you know, I did so. But but if those deals
Speaker 1: you had allowed you to steal sell underground, it's almost
Speaker 1: like it wasn't It wasn't even me leaving the majors
Speaker 1: had nothing to do it for real, it was more
Speaker 1: about the people major independent independent now because you know,
Speaker 1: independent because of like I say, it always been like that.
Speaker 1: I always felt independent. I don't feel like one of
Speaker 1: the mainstream rappers who are gonna have songs that's been
Speaker 1: on hits radio, you know, on the radio, making millions
Speaker 1: and stuff. I just feel like my voice on some
Speaker 1: underground type of So I feel like to make the
Speaker 1: flip work, I need to be in the pended on
Speaker 1: my music, you know, because I might. I might not
Speaker 1: sell a million albums every time, but if I could
Speaker 1: keep selling that Hunted you know, three times. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm good with that, you know, it makes sense, you know,
Speaker 1: and then all my masters, you know, over the years
Speaker 1: of adds up, I'm doing good. I can't complain, you know,
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I like, I like where I'm at.
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, I did have
Speaker 1: a great time. You know with Star Trek. What happened
Speaker 1: with that was the whole label left my A and
Speaker 1: R left Gifting, you know, everybody who worked the change.
Speaker 1: So now it's like the sales that Star Trek at
Speaker 1: that time. I don't know. I don't remember bro on
Speaker 1: the cool. I remember meeting him, but I know he
Speaker 1: was with him. I ain't know. I don't know how.
Speaker 1: You know what I think now. I think he was
Speaker 1: after yeah, after yeah, but uh, Stephen Victor was working
Speaker 1: for me. Bro. Now I look at who we at
Speaker 1: right now. Bro see like him, you know, I everybody, Man,
Speaker 1: it's a blessing, you know, to see the guys about
Speaker 1: something like that. Man, the industry, the industry, the industry.
Speaker 1: I love it, man, I love I love everything about it.
Speaker 1: You know, really I hate I want us to have
Speaker 1: my ownership. That's it, Bro, Like everything everything right now
Speaker 1: exactly what I want to I want to say, whatever
Speaker 1: I want to see. I wouldn't say it was like
Speaker 1: the phone days and ship, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: When Nikkas used to go to the stuff. But how
Speaker 1: with ship? You know what I'm saying, Rock, I was ship.
Speaker 1: I need to get back to that man. How did
Speaker 1: you how did you um uh come into the wine? Uh?
Speaker 1: I mean honestly, honestly, I was. So I traveled the
Speaker 1: world doing wine tasting. People. You were trying to get
Speaker 1: into the business. No, I was traveling to anyways. Right.
Speaker 1: So I go to go to athen Screen and go
Speaker 1: to friends to go to all these places. And I
Speaker 1: would go while I'm there, I take historical site to
Speaker 1: match up what I'm learning the Bible to be artifacts
Speaker 1: and true what I'm seeing in history. And then I
Speaker 1: would also go and taste wine and do the food
Speaker 1: and wine pairing. So when that happened, I was doing
Speaker 1: that for a few years. And then when I when
Speaker 1: I when I moved to New York, about this crazy
Speaker 1: penthouse in New York, and I was having these parties
Speaker 1: at the house and the guy that was the guy
Speaker 1: that was providing all the boots for me was it
Speaker 1: was a guy who was like into wine. He was
Speaker 1: like his main job was like selling wine. And he
Speaker 1: mentioned to me it's like stay, you should have your
Speaker 1: own wine. One day, I thought it was just kind
Speaker 1: of bluff and a lie. Yeah, that sounds good. So
Speaker 1: I met a guy from there and we started talking
Speaker 1: and he's like, hey, you know, you can definitely have
Speaker 1: your own wine. Let's talk. So we had a conversation
Speaker 1: about it. And then it took me about for this
Speaker 1: for this wine right here from the reserve. This was
Speaker 1: this this label. That's three boys within this collection. So
Speaker 1: that's reserve, which is this one. You have the Grand
Speaker 1: Reserve and you have the private collection, which these are
Speaker 1: from Israel. So the vine this video is from Israel. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this this right this year right here's a two seventeen.
Speaker 1: And it took me like about seven months to throughout
Speaker 1: the label because what I wanted to do was I
Speaker 1: wanted to build something for the start of my name,
Speaker 1: for the family, for my children, so that way when
Speaker 1: they get old inherit something the legacy. And so I
Speaker 1: took seven months to for at the label that would
Speaker 1: become timeless, right. So, and these bottles are expensive, um,
Speaker 1: and so what I wanted to do then and say,
Speaker 1: I want to create a similar blend but the lower
Speaker 1: price scale bottom right. And so I linked up with
Speaker 1: the family, the Herzark family out of California, and we
Speaker 1: created the new side of my wand the origin which
Speaker 1: is like out of California, no no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: close to Nappa, but it's not it's not exactly Nappa.
Speaker 1: I forget the actual name of the region, but it's
Speaker 1: in California. And this is a twenty nine dollar bottom,
Speaker 1: but it has the same which is the same flavor
Speaker 1: as the expensive bottom. What what what did that fun you?
Speaker 1: This right? Here's one sixty nine bucks six, the Lord's
Speaker 1: one nine seventy nine, and then the three bottles. This
Speaker 1: is twenty nine for the mass, probably for the p
Speaker 1: who want to taste wine and have the same type
Speaker 1: of taste but can't afford these bottles. Want to create
Speaker 1: something less expensive for the match public, so that's how
Speaker 1: we came up with this one. One interesting point about
Speaker 1: this bottle also is that this is the label the
Speaker 1: artist natur Reil and that trip you off familiar with
Speaker 1: the art space, but natural as an artists the world
Speaker 1: now artist. He's actually one of one of five artists
Speaker 1: that was led to be the artists for top sports,
Speaker 1: like the other the card playing cards, so the all
Speaker 1: the artists in the world, he was chosen to be
Speaker 1: one of the top five artists to create that particular
Speaker 1: space for for for for tops, for cards. Right, So
Speaker 1: this bottle is not only a good about the drink,
Speaker 1: but it's also a collective item because this artist is
Speaker 1: a very very world with nown artist. So that's why
Speaker 1: you see the three D line of Judah kind of
Speaker 1: popping out because it's like, um, you know that's the
Speaker 1: artist natural. So speaking on wis right, like, how do
Speaker 1: you how does a company like a famus uh opus one?
Speaker 1: How how rule we make a company like yours? How
Speaker 1: do how do we get to that spaces where you
Speaker 1: go to car bones and you know these is the
Speaker 1: actually wines that they offer you. How do we get
Speaker 1: your wine to to to be looked at as a
Speaker 1: busgious as those type of companies. Yeah, you know what
Speaker 1: it is is that um a lot of the way
Speaker 1: that was a real wine question. By the way, that's
Speaker 1: a high level that's a high level wine right there
Speaker 1: for sure. And I think the answer to that is
Speaker 1: that when you create your own wine, it's like a hierarchy. Right,
Speaker 1: there's like a certain group of companies that have their
Speaker 1: hands and their hands on the polst of wine. Right,
Speaker 1: So if you're able to now create a wine and
Speaker 1: get linked up with a Southern for an example, who's
Speaker 1: like the major distributors of wine. These guys have you know,
Speaker 1: accounts with the Found Blue, they have counts with these
Speaker 1: major restaurants. And so once you get involved with them
Speaker 1: and they are now a lot there, now will be
Speaker 1: able to then allow other restaurants, bars or clubs to
Speaker 1: call them and say, hey, do you have the start
Speaker 1: of my wines and then they have a shipload of
Speaker 1: that in the negat center. Then but if you don't
Speaker 1: have a distributor like like Southern or these other companies,
Speaker 1: then people you have to do your own thing and
Speaker 1: like talk to talk to the club yourself, or talk
Speaker 1: to this person yourself and like, hey, do your mind
Speaker 1: buying my wine and putting it in putting it up
Speaker 1: for self there, which usually ask you to get connected
Speaker 1: with the distributors exactly. Some funny ships sometimes sometimes you know,
Speaker 1: I would just look at like like like I would
Speaker 1: look at uh college or Jay's Instagram, and I would
Speaker 1: see them drinking a dude yak right, I don't know
Speaker 1: if I'm pronouncing it right, And I would go and
Speaker 1: I would go like and and I would search this
Speaker 1: ship me and diego. I would hit right there. I
Speaker 1: would go like you see you see you see college Instagram.
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, I'm like those bottles right there, I
Speaker 1: want to know what those are. And I would go
Speaker 1: and we would go to the to the thing, to
Speaker 1: the to total wines or whatever and else, and these
Speaker 1: people would say, that's a good bottle, but here's the
Speaker 1: one that's ranked uh this year top or ninety or
Speaker 1: whatever they say, whatever theever they say in the joint,
Speaker 1: and we would buy these wines that they recommend that
Speaker 1: they and some of them was Southern suck. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it all right, somebody else's opinion, man, I
Speaker 1: mean I mean obviously, like for me, I'm the only
Speaker 1: black culture winemaker in the world. How about the wh
Speaker 1: got something to Yeah, you gotta one also yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: um so, which means that you know, I cracked the
Speaker 1: market that was never never infiltrated before in stores now
Speaker 1: in stores in Miami in Miami, yea in the United States.
Speaker 1: So what happens with the Southern with the Southern distributor
Speaker 1: whatever state you're in. If you want to start on
Speaker 1: my wine, you gotta call the company. Would call them
Speaker 1: and say, hey, Southern, we wanna you know, five cases
Speaker 1: of Stide of my wines and then the ship it
Speaker 1: out so it's there in the state, but you gotta
Speaker 1: call They gotta call the distributor to order to get
Speaker 1: that in the stores. And um, like like you know,
Speaker 1: like you like we said, like this is these these
Speaker 1: prestigious wine companies that's been around. What made you say
Speaker 1: your last name? Because you know, um, why why you
Speaker 1: didn't want to keep it? Even and just well I
Speaker 1: thought about that because I wanted to somewhat because like
Speaker 1: the supposed person doesn't like you as a basketball player, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you still want to buy your wine, you know,
Speaker 1: So like, um, what what made you use your names?
Speaker 1: You know? I think the reason why I did it
Speaker 1: because I wanted something to last for my children, for
Speaker 1: the family, for the legacy, right, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: for them to be able to say this is my
Speaker 1: family's wine. Right. That's why. That's when it comes to business,
Speaker 1: your last name. Think about all these companies that are
Speaker 1: named after their family's last name. I've seen I've seen
Speaker 1: a clip of that on Instagram the other day, Like
Speaker 1: that is the last name was the last name, crafts,
Speaker 1: the last name, all these all these the last names
Speaker 1: that become brands and you forget it's even the name,
Speaker 1: and that's what you want to be, just a branded rings. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So so for all for all that, you know, economic empowerment,
Speaker 1: it's about really being able to provide a legacy for
Speaker 1: my children so when they become my age, they can say,
Speaker 1: this is my family's wine, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So they can have that procetigue conversation with their friends
Speaker 1: and say, hey, you know we can talk boss talk.
Speaker 1: You feel me, we can talk that talk because this
Speaker 1: is my family's wine, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: that's why I wanted to name it after like my
Speaker 1: last name. For the family. You never had, no, you
Speaker 1: never had any confusion with Damon. Yeah, yeah, well no not,
Speaker 1: but not recently. When I first got to the league,
Speaker 1: asked me like, is that your family? And I talk
Speaker 1: to my uncle about that. I was like, we are
Speaker 1: related to the start of Mars with the A instead
Speaker 1: of the point guard for the trouble is. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: actually we do because when the start of Mars came
Speaker 1: to America, they migrated to different parts of America and
Speaker 1: through that transition, the lettering was changed in the last
Speaker 1: name son come from originally start of mars, like y'all,
Speaker 1: it says a Greek last name or not a Greek

Speaker 1: what was what was your worst game you ever had?
Speaker 1: To you the worst game? Man? You wish you just
Speaker 1: do this the worst you want. Man, listen, let me
Speaker 1: think my worst game. I never thought about this before.
Speaker 1: Um man, Uh my worst game maybe first play. My
Speaker 1: worst play was in the playoffs against the heat That
Speaker 1: was with the Knicks. That's when I hit the five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, I just cut my hand. It was after
Speaker 1: the game. I think it was like Game three and
Speaker 1: we lost. You know, sometimes after the game you're like
Speaker 1: hit the side of the wall, like, but hit the
Speaker 1: side of the wall. So when I hit the side
Speaker 1: of the wall, it was. I caught the edge of
Speaker 1: the Stinger ship and start of walking into the locker room,
Speaker 1: hit back my teammates the fire sticks head back with us.
Speaker 1: A lot of people thought I was like founding plus
Speaker 1: the five sticks. You know. It was one of those
Speaker 1: like you know, damn, you know, one of those moments
Speaker 1: where you're like, the game's over. We lost playoffs, you
Speaker 1: hit the wall. But I caught the edge of the
Speaker 1: five Stingers ship, so it sliced my hand, and so
Speaker 1: I walked into the locker room. My man was like, yo, Stap,
Speaker 1: look at your hand. I looked down, like oh, because
Speaker 1: I felt nothing. So I had to you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: it was like spleeding all over the place. My man
Speaker 1: had to come and like put stitches in right then
Speaker 1: and there I got about got about maybe like forty
Speaker 1: five stitches, and it wasn't a little bit. It was
Speaker 1: one centimeter from my nerve, and if I caught my nerve,
Speaker 1: I have lost my out lost offer into my hand.
Speaker 1: Just so you know, I used that as an example
Speaker 1: to my kids when I coached to what not do Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's like it's like everyone does it right. Sometimes
Speaker 1: some guys kick over the chair, some guys like you
Speaker 1: see some players flip over the you know, the training
Speaker 1: table when they out when he was upset. Remember when
Speaker 1: they lost. They even give a person a five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you have you have the rubbing in the
Speaker 1: PADDs when the Pistons, when the Pistons jumped into the
Speaker 1: stands Steven Jackson and there, yeah, and then were jumped
Speaker 1: into this in the crowd. But you have those emotions
Speaker 1: after the game where you know, you feel like you
Speaker 1: gotta let that out, and sometimes it happens in the
Speaker 1: locker room with a lot of you guys may not
Speaker 1: see it or hear it, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: But you're here like the reporters saying, oh, well, there
Speaker 1: is an altercation in locker room. Guys are upset about
Speaker 1: the loss. But inside of the locker rooms, like, hey man,
Speaker 1: it's like face to face, what we're gonna do? You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So it's like one of those
Speaker 1: moments where the emotions hit and I hit the wall,
Speaker 1: but I caught the edge of the fire Stingo sliced
Speaker 1: my hand up. That was That was like one of
Speaker 1: my lowest moments I've had in my career where I
Speaker 1: felt like I get dunked on or nothing, like I
Speaker 1: ain't dump on you. And no, it's been some players
Speaker 1: where you know what I'm saying, like some casts of
Speaker 1: PROB like a dunk or two whenever, like a dunk
Speaker 1: on moment you're dunk on me, I'm done. I'm coming
Speaker 1: back at you. Oh you dunk on me? Okay, cool,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna help you up off the ground. Good job, guys.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, no, I'm coming back at
Speaker 1: you the next player, like yo, mellow, bring it over here.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. And we're getting active. And
Speaker 1: most most players, you know, they know that, like if
Speaker 1: like for example, like if somebody scoring on a player
Speaker 1: and it's like, man, listen, you gotta get them back. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Like because everybody think all rappers get along, the old
Speaker 1: rappers know each other. I think everyone thinks that about
Speaker 1: all basketball players over the long there's time. There's time
Speaker 1: in the game, like somebody says something crazy, and you know,
Speaker 1: they're like a studio game, so they're just saying, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what, like you just in the third I'm
Speaker 1: gonna see after the game. After the game, it's like
Speaker 1: where you at there on the bus like man ain't
Speaker 1: coming off the bus there? All right? You get that
Speaker 1: at one more with Steven Francis now drop about to
Speaker 1: take his head off. It was in Houston. I dunked
Speaker 1: on y'all main and I screamed like yeah, Steve put
Speaker 1: his four in my throat and I'm like no, I'm

Speaker 1: Steve friends and my gut me, I love him man.
Speaker 1: I was always respecting the forts game, and after that moment,
Speaker 1: I kind of squats it all and we never really
Speaker 1: we never really talked about it. We never brought the
Speaker 1: con set and up. It was always respect when I
Speaker 1: saw him, you know what I'm saying. So even to
Speaker 1: this day, it's always respecting love. It's not even when
Speaker 1: we don't even take it, there no more you feel
Speaker 1: it like that's going that's in the past. But you know,
Speaker 1: I give him all respect, everything he's going through, everything
Speaker 1: you went through. I give nothing but love and blessing
Speaker 1: from my way to his. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: So we can keep stagging and keep growing. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like there's no there's no hit on
Speaker 1: my side. You feel me. That's what's just there, like
Speaker 1: you know, like when you're the rookie, it's there like
Speaker 1: hazing or like like you know, like, uh, who do
Speaker 1: we have on him? He had for Trening Dad James
Speaker 1: on right and Tren m J said, Yo, when he
Speaker 1: first came got in the game, he flat out didn't
Speaker 1: like ti I And I said why and he said,
Speaker 1: you know, Tia just didn't show him love, he didn't whatever.
Speaker 1: And I was like, yo, I kind of had to
Speaker 1: take t o side, not to mean, because what I'm
Speaker 1: being is, we don't know, like like I when they're
Speaker 1: a new guy, we don't know if you're gonna be
Speaker 1: here for a long time. We don't know if you're
Speaker 1: gonna be up. Is it like that you get Rickie
Speaker 1: Hazing we got. I mean I had to carry that.
Speaker 1: I had to bring in some doughnuts and orange juice
Speaker 1: every morning. Wait what Christopa Creme? I had to bring
Speaker 1: Christmpa creme donuts and orange juice every morning for PRAP
Speaker 1: for the team. So I brought in two dozen of
Speaker 1: like Christopah Creme donuts and orange juice. That was cool.
Speaker 1: But I had my one thing. I had my seat
Speaker 1: on the bus not set in the back of the bus,
Speaker 1: and I was a rookie and there was somebody else
Speaker 1: the seat and I was sitting there before and it
Speaker 1: was like, yo, this when I see him, Like I
Speaker 1: wasn't getting from nuts but nothing so but I respected
Speaker 1: the fourth that and then he let me actually keep
Speaker 1: the seat but on the only rook as And that
Speaker 1: got was you know, it's just you know, bringing donuts
Speaker 1: in the morning and orange juice, and I did every
Speaker 1: morning for them with other Haze you've seen you've seen them, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I seen cats got a brand like a door explore
Speaker 1: backpack to the game. Yeah, Door score a backpack the
Speaker 1: whole season broil unto the first game of now seOne
Speaker 1: makes someone do that. The brotherhood, it's part of the culture.
Speaker 1: It's for fun and you gotta you gotta wear that
Speaker 1: next brotherhood, how about you, you felt like that, you
Speaker 1: feel like the older generation embraced you when you first
Speaker 1: came out or how was it when you Because I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and answer the question. For me, I
Speaker 1: did not feel like the older generation embraced me at all.
Speaker 1: I thought they would look at me like, harry up,
Speaker 1: littlegg get your little fifteen minutes to get it ain't hazy.
Speaker 1: But that was enough to be like older niggers at
Speaker 1: that time if they can't because you know, that's the
Speaker 1: generation before me, besides Cane and them's the hippote hoppity dudes.
Speaker 1: Those dudes didn't show me. They were like ahead, like
Speaker 1: that's how I felt. It was like get up out
Speaker 1: of here, And I was like, okay, that's why you
Speaker 1: felt like here forever. If it was like that at first,
Speaker 1: But after a while, you know, I got a lot
Speaker 1: of love from cats like be scoff face, so you know,
Speaker 1: I can't complain. Man, they didn't get a lot of
Speaker 1: love that first. It was like at first, I was like,
Speaker 1: who was this dude from the North Side. It was
Speaker 1: just like that from everybody, you know, north side of
Speaker 1: the side when nobody really messed with everybody was on
Speaker 1: the south side. So you know, I had to make
Speaker 1: everybody respect the north side, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So that's what that was. You're the only one from
Speaker 1: the north side, the first one from the north side
Speaker 1: really like uh, you know, the Mike Jones, Poe Walls
Speaker 1: and them, they came after, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So it was it was a whole different thing. Really.
Speaker 1: It was like you know, Kristin Blood was like the
Speaker 1: north side south side ain't really messed with each other.
Speaker 1: So that's the DJ. Screw them. They didn't like us,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Right, that's why they ain't
Speaker 1: like us. You want to ask, but doing that, right,
Speaker 1: were on the side, but we had to create our
Speaker 1: own because they had you know, they ain't missing with us,
Speaker 1: you know, and ended up being the sound of the
Speaker 1: whole state basically at the point now every I mean
Speaker 1: they really created, you know, there was the landmark everything.
Speaker 1: It's when we came. We did get a lot of
Speaker 1: success though you know I was too though, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So it was a little you know, befinitially,

Speaker 1: cloud was smooth. Yeah. I Actually your worst game or
Speaker 1: your worst moment, what's that one moment that you know
Speaker 1: you dominated? Like, what's your best game or your best
Speaker 1: you know moment that you was like on fire? You
Speaker 1: felt like he was using steroids and he wasn't using steroids.
Speaker 1: What's that one? Uh? Probably my rookie year. That's when
Speaker 1: you got both of the year right, Yeah, that same year,
Speaker 1: I was nineteen two thousand two. Actually I got the
Speaker 1: rook I got the world came and within the two
Speaker 1: thousand three years like that following year, because the season
Speaker 1: with two thousand two to two thousand three. But the
Speaker 1: game was like I was playing against Minnesota and I
Speaker 1: don't know, Stephen gar Net has something with each other.
Speaker 1: Steph Margaret was with us in Phoenix, going that was
Speaker 1: with the Timberwolves. So Stephen going that, going back the back,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, I hear steps say, we'll
Speaker 1: sta better than you when you was a rookie like that.
Speaker 1: He threw you in there playing together together Minnesota when
Speaker 1: they're both were like younger. So so that game, actually,
Speaker 1: you know, me and going that actually really good friends now,
Speaker 1: like we're very good friends. And there was no there
Speaker 1: was not a lot of a lot of trash talk
Speaker 1: between the twos and the like. But he talks trash like,
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie. This is a fan. I don't
Speaker 1: really know nothing personally. I'm talking about as a person
Speaker 1: just watching he talked to himself. Oh he so I
Speaker 1: had to realize to you when he talking to him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I had to realize. Yeah, so I had to
Speaker 1: realize that, Like when I fled against I got, I got,
Speaker 1: did you beat it down a little bit more? He
Speaker 1: was like what does he basically saying, it ain't going me.
Speaker 1: He's talking to himself, but he's talking to himself, but
Speaker 1: he's like sounding like he teld me you and he
Speaker 1: talking about you. He's talking about you, like wait, so
Speaker 1: talking to him like he's yeah, it was you know
Speaker 1: what he did without without noticed later on, like within
Speaker 1: within his career. What it was for him is a
Speaker 1: way to get him going. And I used that same
Speaker 1: tactic even when I got a little older, like I'm
Speaker 1: gonna find a way to get myself mentally motivated to
Speaker 1: play at a high level. So that's what he was doing.
Speaker 1: But I was nineteen. I didn't know what he was doing.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, he's talking to me like so, so we
Speaker 1: started going back and back, back back and back, going
Speaker 1: that score, high score, going that square score. So at
Speaker 1: the end of the game, I had like thirty eight,
Speaker 1: like seventeen as a nineteen rookie against like one of
Speaker 1: the world's greatest power forwards in the game. So from
Speaker 1: that point I realized, like I'm here now. And then
Speaker 1: I played Tim Dunning in the playoffs and I had like,
Speaker 1: you know, I was like thirty thirty at the game.
Speaker 1: Don't talk no ship, you don't talk no trash, being fundamental. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he gets all the offensive rebounds. You look up,
Speaker 1: he getting all the little easy basket put back. He
Speaker 1: got twenty five and twelve like wait, yeah he sho
Speaker 1: was crazy. Yeah, but then but that's why it's that's
Speaker 1: why it's the greatest of all one of the greatest
Speaker 1: power forces of all time because he was so efficient
Speaker 1: and he paid the game with a sense of intelligence
Speaker 1: to what you don't even see how it gets his
Speaker 1: numbers crazy. Now, did you play against David Robinson? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was Robinson that It was one of those highlights
Speaker 1: where you go dogged it on Richard Jefferson and it
Speaker 1: was you're doing learn a lot of people them in
Speaker 1: the basket one of you, but you got Richard Jella
Speaker 1: said ugly j R. J know, he got a little y'all,
Speaker 1: a little he's on like color commentating broadcast. You know
Speaker 1: what happened. He was he was little rotation whenever you
Speaker 1: latter rotation and putting you in the basket. I'm tucking
Speaker 1: you and the ball. Yeah, and you and you proved it.
Speaker 1: And you know what was good about you? Um you
Speaker 1: reminded me of a newer Charles Oakley Anthony Mason, like that,
Speaker 1: stop to play like Charles Browne because you're like a
Speaker 1: power forward. So to me, it was like you were
Speaker 1: like the new era of the hard big man balling
Speaker 1: and you don't do a lot of Yeah. I mean
Speaker 1: I played. I played with a sense of like I
Speaker 1: wasn't never like upset when I played, like those guys
Speaker 1: remind me of like angry guys who really can't play.
Speaker 1: You never smiled on the court. I mean sometimes I smile, smile,
Speaker 1: you know, as I was in the stands like like
Speaker 1: but yeah, no, I mean I enjoyed the game, like
Speaker 1: I played with a sense of like aggressiveness. But it
Speaker 1: wasn't never like a sense of like disrespect, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like I always respect every player I
Speaker 1: played against, and we talked before the game after the game,
Speaker 1: but it was a sense that once you step on
Speaker 1: the court, like it's like like my team versus yours.
Speaker 1: It's like me versus you mind we mindo? You know so?
Speaker 1: And I think The game is similar now, but it
Speaker 1: has changed a bit because guys are more friendly now.
Speaker 1: It's come on, it's we were still off the court,
Speaker 1: but on the court, it's like we're trying to this
Speaker 1: is my team, this is your team we're playing against.
Speaker 1: You weren't have a lot of guys that you know,
Speaker 1: we didn't have like the Big Three and all that
Speaker 1: stuff back then. But it doesn't seem like it's too friendly.
Speaker 1: It seems that way at times, that marketing strategy. But
Speaker 1: I think I think guys are just from a different era.
Speaker 1: Guys are from a different era, different upbraining. When I
Speaker 1: grew up, we played like outdoors of the park. These
Speaker 1: kids nowadays are in the gyms with a trainer. They
Speaker 1: learning yours that you're learning all these different moves, and
Speaker 1: they had trainers. Four time trainers. For us was like, hey,
Speaker 1: play the game at twenty one, play five on five.
Speaker 1: It's like no rebound, can't take the ball back, go
Speaker 1: back up with it, No, you call your on files.
Speaker 1: These kids got their own trainers. They're on the referees
Speaker 1: in the gym. It's a difference to different area, which
Speaker 1: I respected because the game's evolving. Well, this is a
Speaker 1: different era than when I played. There were no Patrick
Speaker 1: win camp, there was no Michael Jordan camp. Jordan Jordan
Speaker 1: was the first one that had like a flight school
Speaker 1: where players could go to his like like academy and
Speaker 1: and and practice and train. Well. He was the first
Speaker 1: one to do that. And I was back into like
Speaker 1: in the mid to late nineties. How do you get that?
Speaker 1: How do you get the invite to the McDonald's game.
Speaker 1: I mean I was. I was. I was the number
Speaker 1: one playing the country. It was me. It was me
Speaker 1: and Lebron James and le Bron is the junior. That's
Speaker 1: how good he was. He was incredible. Man. I'm like,

Speaker 1: that ship like yeah, I got I've been toying mgando
Speaker 1: a hurricane was coming. They made me flying. I told
Speaker 1: you there's a hurricane coming. But Gil Green he cleaned
Speaker 1: that whole ship up. Ironically, we're Gil Green spot like that,
Speaker 1: like that video. So we vote equal, and there was
Speaker 1: a hurricane courage. Ain't tell you and I wanted to.
Speaker 1: I'm telling them, you know, I can't say too long
Speaker 1: at the shoot. I gotta go and I gotta put
Speaker 1: up my shots. I gotta the board up my crib.

Speaker 1: how you think you don't lose with the christity and
Speaker 1: oh you know not. They got backup generators, baby in

Speaker 1: negative press, you want to beat them up? For sure? Yeah, listen,
Speaker 1: like a few cats and you said that way too fast.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna push the button. But it's more just like,
Speaker 1: but how are you what are you thinking? Ah, that'sn't
Speaker 1: really mean no, listen, guy, don't understand how like some
Speaker 1: of the reporters will say things that are not totally
Speaker 1: true life but can infect the way the public perceived
Speaker 1: a player. I'm not saying this is my case. What
Speaker 1: I'm saying I see it happens a lot where someone
Speaker 1: can say certain things based upon them trying to either
Speaker 1: elevate themselves in that space or either trying to like
Speaker 1: diminish that player. I'm not saying this is my opportunitary situation,
Speaker 1: but I see I have it before. And then so
Speaker 1: therefore the player don't get a chance to respond because
Speaker 1: they're not what they don't want to be confrontational. So
Speaker 1: therefore the best ideas like to see that the person said, hey,
Speaker 1: we didn't have a conversation, that's my guy, Stephen. They
Speaker 1: keeping behind with everything, so it's never it's never history.
Speaker 1: Those guys who are like not very recognized or like
Speaker 1: hi mom, you know, one of those type of guys,
Speaker 1: and then they also get to get get the camera
Speaker 1: in front of him and they want to try to
Speaker 1: talk all big and you know, like wait, hold on,
Speaker 1: you're not that guy. Yeah, you guy, you're just trying
Speaker 1: to use trying to use someone else's name to promote
Speaker 1: your status. Like no, that's that doesn't work because you're lying,
Speaker 1: can not be honest to not you do not understand
Speaker 1: the scenario. You're just trying to make yourself, you know,
Speaker 1: valuable in your space, Like, no, you know how about you?
Speaker 1: You ever got what's the worst thing you heard about yourself?
Speaker 1: And I had so much bad about me? I don't
Speaker 1: give a Like I'll be on the shade ring room

Speaker 1: a communication. I'm funked up with communication. Like even when

Speaker 1: That's what I don't getting to all the man. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's everyone's an opinion. How the opinions are wrong based
Speaker 1: upon the dark side, right, So I'm not even getting
Speaker 1: into the space of like trying to tap into where
Speaker 1: you're seeing things because you're not seeing things clearly. So
Speaker 1: therefore I'm not even to entertain the conversation. Wow, but
Speaker 1: let me as you want? Does it to tell the guy?
Speaker 1: But I said you to let it slide. But then
Speaker 1: if you see and you said you just said you

Speaker 1: It was like pronell and care. He was like, welcome
Speaker 1: to the label. But he was just talking telling you
Speaker 1: y'all little niggas, better to come on your a game
Speaker 1: more because I ain't playing, and that it helped us
Speaker 1: on me. It was And then at that time we
Speaker 1: didn't really care. We was. We was head hunting ninjas,
Speaker 1: warrior lords. He didn't get a funk about nothing. We
Speaker 1: just wanted to wrap at any capacity with no name
Speaker 1: or none of that didn't matter. And we was just young,
Speaker 1: thirsty and wanted to be in the game. But hands down,

Speaker 1: be for the players. I'm one of them type of dudes.
Speaker 1: I don't care right or wrong. I'm with the players
Speaker 1: right or wrong. I'm with the artist and that's just what.

Speaker 1: But this guy wouldn't Ball brought in Phil Jackson. He's
Speaker 1: bringing the guys you want. Wants you for me from
Speaker 1: the outside watching Dolan. He brings in somebody with you
Speaker 1: don't gotta blame him, and then he goes sing rock music.
Speaker 1: Right if you're the owner the Knicks, right, you said
Speaker 1: I own the team, so the best gem I can
Speaker 1: bring game right now, it's Phil Jackson. That's true. You
Speaker 1: do your job. You're saying, I'm gonna bring in Phil Jackson.
Speaker 1: After that Phil Jackson job, he gets itself out of me.
Speaker 1: You don't gotta blame. He's probably he also kicked Spike
Speaker 1: Lee out and I agree with all that. Now, I
Speaker 1: don't know, you gotta make the decision to tell them
Speaker 1: Spike Lee at these interests let go, don't let him
Speaker 1: in and even going there because secutively for thirty years,
Speaker 1: somebody had to make him Oh yeah, ain't no Spike.
Speaker 1: It wasn't just the person that mattered. That was a
Speaker 1: there's no way even the security that stops like, didn't
Speaker 1: know Spike, what like, come on, man, that's like if
Speaker 1: you live in New York City, if you alive, he knows.
Speaker 1: We just at court side, Spike, Bro, Spike is the
Speaker 1: next What was the good? They wouldn't let me. It
Speaker 1: went through an entrance that wasn't They changed it because
Speaker 1: I don't know before before they just told them it

Speaker 1: had been going through that same entrance for years. They
Speaker 1: put out an app don't that he's never really said it.
Speaker 1: I don't agree with it. Crazy what they did the
Speaker 1: whole plea it's crazy. Bro Big got into it with
Speaker 1: the security and yeah, yeah, yeah, fortune could we need
Speaker 1: to hold them out? I felt like should have left left.
Speaker 1: They had they ain't had the they did. I don't
Speaker 1: play like he never was. He was yelling at that
Speaker 1: doll and then said about him up yeah, because they're
Speaker 1: trying to grab him in. Okay, no man, I don't
Speaker 1: touch that. Man. No, you can't get me. Listen, bro
Speaker 1: Old gonna be smooth. You grabbed Old like all I'm
Speaker 1: just grabbing them up. Na. It was so dope, and
Speaker 1: when they happened, that's when Q said, Oh, that don't
Speaker 1: happen at the Big Three, and then he became cool. Still,
Speaker 1: I watch your name the happo boss or bosses my ship.
Speaker 1: That's what I felt like that. I feel like that's
Speaker 1: still you know what I'm saying, like, oh my ship.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You know. At the same time,
Speaker 1: you know I might not be in Spamious or whatever,
Speaker 1: you know, because you know whatever, because I ain't with
Speaker 1: the majors or whatever, but always in my own boss
Speaker 1: Cock cut in on that he Slim Thug is the
Speaker 1: only artist I haven't got mad At. I knew because
Speaker 1: I got mad Dad. He signed because I I knew
Speaker 1: what he was doing. So when he finally did that deal,
Speaker 1: I was tight, like he don't even need his motherfucker's
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But it was like a
Speaker 1: good man, Yeah, he don't need this shitty beld that's
Speaker 1: the room. What we thought. We thought it was rich, right,
Speaker 1: what it was. He was getting money and we was
Speaker 1: doing But at the end of the day, we was
Speaker 1: going in the same circle. It was Louisiana. He wasn't
Speaker 1: going up further the name. You know, we wanted to
Speaker 1: be stars at the age telling me I didn't get rich?
Speaker 1: Did you tell me how didn't getting mixed? Just going
Speaker 1: to Mount Vernon and sucking the brown ties. I ain't
Speaker 1: never gonna go. I need to get out there more right.
Speaker 1: That's dope, ship man. But who led you for that?
Speaker 1: But it, uh, it showed It showed us our self value,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Earlier we was able to understand,
Speaker 1: you know, what we was work, you know, doing that
Speaker 1: like the way we was doing it, so we could say, hey, man,
Speaker 1: you know we ain't gonna sign for this, so sign
Speaker 1: for that because we already know already know what this
Speaker 1: what it is, you know. So that's what the underground
Speaker 1: game gave us, you know, in Texas or whatever. So
Speaker 1: let's that's dope ship. I salute you'all. You played it
Speaker 1: both the NBA and overseas. What is the biggest difference, Like,
Speaker 1: did you feel like more of a start when he
Speaker 1: was overseas or I mean you already he was already
Speaker 1: built the brand when he went over, and it was
Speaker 1: already brand built when I went over that. I mean,
Speaker 1: they already knew what it was when I went over
Speaker 1: the seas, um we thought you wasn't coming back, like
Speaker 1: start of mind one point, No, that's over there, like
Speaker 1: star burying you. I came back. Was he going to
Speaker 1: do that? Yeah, I mean in my mind, I was
Speaker 1: for sure coming back. I was for sure coming back.
Speaker 1: But I was there for a reason. I was there
Speaker 1: to learn and also to play. Your feel me so
Speaker 1: so I took care of both aspects while I was there,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to continue that along until I got
Speaker 1: it all figured out and then I came back. So
Speaker 1: it took me four years to get it all like understood,
Speaker 1: and then I was able to come back. But the
Speaker 1: far as the game, the NBA is an all different levels,
Speaker 1: the top league in the world. You feel saying you
Speaker 1: travel you know, privorate plane, you got like five star restaurants,
Speaker 1: five star hotels overseas, you're not traveling like commercial you're
Speaker 1: saying at three star hotels. You can still going to
Speaker 1: your top restaurants, but the travel wise it was different.
Speaker 1: You guys like gunning for you because they're like, come on,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah. So I went over there, like you know,
Speaker 1: I was already six time All Star, had like great
Speaker 1: success in the NBA, and these guys, a lot of
Speaker 1: the guys played one or two years in the NBA
Speaker 1: and they're making their name and their stars over seas.
Speaker 1: So they felt like I was coming over to like
Speaker 1: somewhat take their shine. But I went with a humble
Speaker 1: of approach because I was only there to learn, right,
Speaker 1: But then I also played basketball, so it wasn't like
Speaker 1: I cared about much of my basketball, like I wanted
Speaker 1: to be the best for sure, Like I got m
Speaker 1: v P, won the champion, I won two championships, All Star,
Speaker 1: m VP, I did all these things there, but I
Speaker 1: was also I took a humble of approach to everything
Speaker 1: to there. Before it was like all right, sat one
Speaker 1: of the guys, you feel me, I could have won
Speaker 1: over then Ego trip like this is mine. I own
Speaker 1: the team I did on the team. I was the
Speaker 1: owner of Jerusalem when the team he was to go
Speaker 1: for everybody that was the owner of the team and
Speaker 1: win the championship and All Star m VP. But how
Speaker 1: do you get the mind frame to go on that team? Well,
Speaker 1: but in might approach me about it. It's like, let listen,
Speaker 1: it's a team. If there's a team for sale, I
Speaker 1: want to get involved. You know, opportunities here, just let
Speaker 1: me know. So I got involved, and that's Jerusal and Jerusalem.
Speaker 1: I'm like listening this this is a space where none
Speaker 1: of us is you still on the team to this day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm like listen, and after the Americans that were brought
Speaker 1: at slaves are Israelites. So let me go here, now
Speaker 1: play the seed here, build this program here. So that way,
Speaker 1: now that we're returning back to our lands. So then
Speaker 1: now you know, I built that old little infrastructure. So
Speaker 1: it's a whole different level of like learning infiltrating and
Speaker 1: also building in the space where we once were. And
Speaker 1: so how I went through that whole process of like
Speaker 1: we're back what I'm saying, and then a lot of
Speaker 1: planning that doesn't take it's going on there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: stay busy. Yeah, but there was a vibe, bro because
Speaker 1: it was for the people. Your feel me like, you
Speaker 1: go to go to the games and it's for the people.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, listen, I'm going for sure to play
Speaker 1: in the Big Three because the ones that are there
Speaker 1: may not be able to afford the NBA ticket, you know,
Speaker 1: to go see NBA games, But they can go see
Speaker 1: their favorite players. You know, they can see me, they
Speaker 1: can see an Irish and they can see Dr J.
Speaker 1: They can see you know, these different players. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: won the baby. You will see baby Court mcgetty. You
Speaker 1: can see like Jamat O'Neill. You will see all these
Speaker 1: great players that you grew up why too. But she
Speaker 1: wasn't able to afford the NBA ticket. But now you
Speaker 1: can go see them now, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And you see Joe Johnson, you see these guys who
Speaker 1: are still playing high level basketball and get good basketball.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah, I'm for sure for the people
Speaker 1: that involved with the Big Three back him. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to rob. I ain't reading a coming. I wasn't reading
Speaker 1: I got all that I'm watching anything. When they come
Speaker 1: back and sold, I want these I don't want to
Speaker 1: leave my body along. I need, I need, I need,
Speaker 1: I need a little nug off that though he listen,
Speaker 1: I ain't missed to leave. Let me get a little
Speaker 1: at least and the strin he over there trying rapper.
Speaker 1: This is a legendary right now, I don't and you know,
Speaker 1: you know, you know what's happening in Texas. This is crazy,
Speaker 1: like you know, definitely for us to have him, Yeah,
Speaker 1: come on, come on, many man, let me get one
Speaker 1: of I got something that saying, yeah, sir man, I
Speaker 1: want of you want to block yeah's blood? Still? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you want you want to regular flowers? You wrote your backwood?
Speaker 1: Get that the wood the yeah, for sure woods, Mr Lincoln.
Speaker 1: That's that the wood. And do't make something happen you
Speaker 1: don't want I'm getting it in your hand and or
Speaker 1: you want to give in that. Don't get that bard
Speaker 1: all like you doing? Man like you shot get shot
Speaker 1: that shot the shot of we ship ship ship ship? Yeah,
Speaker 1: your own string or what's the you ain't ready? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you take it that because of the school. Oh you're
Speaker 1: doing you No, I'm not, but I was. I was
Speaker 1: actually looking into it though, because for a lot of recovery.
Speaker 1: A lot of guys who played in the league, they
Speaker 1: deal with like the depression, what they did with, like
Speaker 1: you know, sorting some painful like playing all these years.
Speaker 1: And so for me, I was like I told my
Speaker 1: mom was like, Mama, listen, she's fifty five years old,
Speaker 1: said mine, the best thing for you right now, it's
Speaker 1: the light up of joint, life of joint. And then
Speaker 1: life becomes much more clear. You're relying to chill, you
Speaker 1: watch your movie. All that depression or whatever you may have,
Speaker 1: it goes away. So like she's like, all right, I'll
Speaker 1: take your word for it. So she starts on the
Speaker 1: joint and she feels so much better. She's at ease,
Speaker 1: she has peace. Right, this might be expect tiding to
Speaker 1: get involved in, but you know, I'm saying, like it
Speaker 1: is moms. Mom is just feeling good about everything. And
Speaker 1: so many pies, so many parties got locked up by
Speaker 1: sending cannabis, you know what I'm saying, Like, it's like now,
Speaker 1: it's like, how can you now, you know, kick us
Speaker 1: out of the industry that we particularly like built your
Speaker 1: feeling like we've always been able to, like a lot
Speaker 1: of the homies, life was always like pushing you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying weed in the days? Feel me so like,
Speaker 1: how could we're now not to be involved in this
Speaker 1: when it's like the new age of like you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, like stocks, it's on the stock market.
Speaker 1: Get here, like we gotta be involved. What was doing?
Speaker 1: What I'm saying, monogram bro, Like it's imperative for us
Speaker 1: to be able to not be able to get involved
Speaker 1: in this because this is what we did, Like we
Speaker 1: got we got locked up for selling nickelbacks, dying backs, whatever,
Speaker 1: only because our people needed this because of what the
Speaker 1: lifestyle we never in was so like hard to live in.
Speaker 1: One time I got locked up for the police. I
Speaker 1: threw the blood away and never even found the blood.
Speaker 1: They turned around see me smoking, like threw listen, I
Speaker 1: literally bust the little wall you this ship you know
Speaker 1: in New York And when the time the blood flew away,
Speaker 1: there's no way they could have found to live in
Speaker 1: the hood. They said, you smell like I said the
Speaker 1: only morning about smoking. But that's how bad the loss
Speaker 1: when you live in the hood, man, anything, you need
Speaker 1: the herbs to kind of calm things down for you
Speaker 1: for like you're not you're not too like overwhelmed by society.
Speaker 1: You feel me so to sort of light up. It's
Speaker 1: like it takes me away from all the all the
Speaker 1: situation that's happening around us. So let's be clear. We're
Speaker 1: saying that Stack does smoke, that does burn it down. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean used to only when I had time before
Speaker 1: I start training, and here no doubt feel So when
Speaker 1: the season's over, I got to okay, I'll tell maybe
Speaker 1: what is it more? Because I'm good, I take three
Speaker 1: weeks off, okay, cool, my three weeks I smoke it
Speaker 1: sa a modern Regin with a moderate intake, okay, And
Speaker 1: then when it's time to train, I'm back active. Why
Speaker 1: I got goals? All star. You want to be want
Speaker 1: to conversing situations. You don't want to be altered by
Speaker 1: alternative thoughts. You want to be focused. So I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, hey, I got my little I got my
Speaker 1: little moment. I got my moment two weeks, a moment
Speaker 1: of like living free, relaxed on the couch, whatever, and
Speaker 1: then I got my time where it's like back to work.
Speaker 1: I got play everything inside. And this is for all
Speaker 1: three of y'all. What you think about Zion so far?
Speaker 1: Who Yeah, you think you're putting them decent numbers here?
Speaker 1: You're young heat next to the ball. No, no, I
Speaker 1: don't know to push the envelope look too far. I
Speaker 1: went to You know, when I think about what I
Speaker 1: think about Zion is he needs to develop like a
Speaker 1: more understandable game. Right now, he's very explosive and he
Speaker 1: gets to the basket and to use athleticism to get
Speaker 1: his points after a while five jumping that high and
Speaker 1: that explosive, it's gonna put pressure in your joints. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. You may, you may incur injuries.
Speaker 1: But if he's able to now for next the game,
Speaker 1: get a shot off, ways to score without being as explosive,
Speaker 1: and be able to be to be able to explode
Speaker 1: when the time is right. Right. That's why I like, like,
Speaker 1: what's she got? My penis? Devin Booker? Right, Devin Booker.
Speaker 1: Obviously the brought and these guys they figured out what
Speaker 1: it's to be explosive. Every plays not explosive, but when
Speaker 1: they get the back door blob and you see him
Speaker 1: like wow, this guy's incredible, or get like an open
Speaker 1: lane he takes off? Whoa what do you see that? Wow?
Speaker 1: Did you see that move? You feel me? But other
Speaker 1: than that's and it kept coasting to my line and
Speaker 1: that they're playing the game when it's time to be
Speaker 1: like that guy and explode. Then they got that designers
Speaker 1: have yet to figure out, like when that spaces on speed,
Speaker 1: he's playing speed. He said that the game comes to
Speaker 1: you exactly. But y'all know it's a rookie, like he's
Speaker 1: the second in the league. So he's like it takes
Speaker 1: it's right, So it takes two or three years for
Speaker 1: that to come. You feel me? So like y'all fans
Speaker 1: are just like power teams getting together, like when uh
Speaker 1: you know, uh they joined team, it was the super teams.
Speaker 1: Is yall one of the first kind of super team
Speaker 1: school If you ask me, Lebron, Phoenish Nash, this name
Speaker 1: Joe Johnson, They're crazy. This ship was crazy. But it
Speaker 1: wasn't like yeah and may they didn't. It was I
Speaker 1: mean if with the media and all of the hype up,
Speaker 1: they had a real big three there at a quick
Speaker 1: and then't you know, as time passes in more marketing
Speaker 1: and more media they start focusing on But but I'm
Speaker 1: taking it from this era like win from Lebron because
Speaker 1: they felt like Lebron deliberately you know, gay winn and
Speaker 1: put his who he needed it, put his faculty together
Speaker 1: to win the championship. And then since then, like now
Speaker 1: you got Brooklyn, you got you got three of them together,
Speaker 1: we got Heart and Read and I think, I think, stay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go Yeah, yeah it so Look I mean,
Speaker 1: is you're a fan of that as a player, not
Speaker 1: as I know you behind them right now? I mean
Speaker 1: for sure, like as a player, I would have probably
Speaker 1: um all the pains, right you ain't know the superteam.
Speaker 1: You gotta face a super team. But I tried with
Speaker 1: the Knicks. I tried to I tried to build like
Speaker 1: a superteam. Melow. Yeah, I want to brain mellow in.
Speaker 1: I want to brain CP three And it wasn't CP three.
Speaker 1: I want the brain Chris Tony Parker, and but it wasn't.
Speaker 1: Like because the super team has just been able to
Speaker 1: have like the top guys in that position. What would
Speaker 1: have happen if we would have got CP three you
Speaker 1: and Mellow Yeah, I mean for me, for me, I
Speaker 1: was going through a little bit of like a body breakdown.
Speaker 1: I played like I was I'm an air player, right,
Speaker 1: so when you're a player, you have more like and
Speaker 1: being sixteen and athletic. In that space, there wasn't too
Speaker 1: many guys that were as spast and at you all
Speaker 1: and quick and explosive at that size. So therefore a
Speaker 1: lot of players were in that space are more prone
Speaker 1: to injury because you're like your our player and your
Speaker 1: your joints are taking on pounding. That's different from like
Speaker 1: the regular guy, right, So for me it was a
Speaker 1: little bit different. I was going through a little bit
Speaker 1: of like a body shift for me. But for me,
Speaker 1: Melo was like top of the game, sixty two in
Speaker 1: the Garden lead leave score. It was like incredible to watch,
Speaker 1: and I'm sitting there watching them, like, man, I wish
Speaker 1: I can get out there and like you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying and apply my dominance with you. So I
Speaker 1: was like, let me try to bring in CP or
Speaker 1: Tony Parker, somebody that can also be a part of
Speaker 1: the group. So like, it wasn't about like building like
Speaker 1: a super team. There's more sub building players that are
Speaker 1: like great in the lane who can help control and
Speaker 1: bring the best out of all of us. Nowadays, it's
Speaker 1: different now it's like, you know, you got first. I
Speaker 1: started out with Boston with KG Ray and Paul Peers
Speaker 1: those guys, and then Lebron went to Miami with d
Speaker 1: Wade Chris Bosh. It was the first one. I felt
Speaker 1: like that was the frown. No, no, no, no, Boston
Speaker 1: wasn't Brown the bon No one looked at them. No no,
Speaker 1: it's because the way that was around the way. It's
Speaker 1: not the press con you know press, but what the
Speaker 1: dout the press confance. It was looked like it was
Speaker 1: looked like, yo, you had to join somebody else to
Speaker 1: beat it. It was kind of was the first. Jordan.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm just trying to compare on the Brown
Speaker 1: the drawer, your team and everybody come to Cleveland and
Speaker 1: play with you what she tried that to Cleveland because
Speaker 1: he did that Kyrie of Clean Sure, but little guys
Speaker 1: wasn't trying to little Cleveland. Like I don't want to
Speaker 1: go to Cleveland. Wire there's nothing to do there. It's
Speaker 1: like all snow, like, who want to go to Cleveland?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You would go to play
Speaker 1: for the Lebron, But it's like it's a better attraction
Speaker 1: to come to Miami. So let me ask you because
Speaker 1: you just said we just said you was thinking about
Speaker 1: like when the person is a star player, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's it's that person. Like you call a CP three,
Speaker 1: the coaching calling the CP three. Yeah, but it's collusion. Also,
Speaker 1: So as a player, if CP three is on the
Speaker 1: team already, you can't call him and say, hey, come
Speaker 1: to him with the Knicks, even though I wanted to,
Speaker 1: but I can As a player, I can't care. I
Speaker 1: can't clude myself and I say, hey, CP listen, man,
Speaker 1: you know we got cap space, leave you know, l
Speaker 1: A Clippers and come to New York without being melow.
Speaker 1: I couldn't make that call. How does this call be me?
Speaker 1: So the GM has to be the guy who's like
Speaker 1: figuring out which players are proper you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: For the team, I can't it can't be. It can't
Speaker 1: come from the players. We can't call them be like
Speaker 1: under the table, like hey, listen, come to us. Yeah
Speaker 1: you get fine for that. Somebody somebody's gonna say something
Speaker 1: like it gets out to the media, like a Mars
Speaker 1: calling CP under the table about coming to New York
Speaker 1: and what you're saying that like, oh man, you got it.
Speaker 1: There paid six and it's then the third like, hey,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Players go visit players go
Speaker 1: visit these other teams, and like and did you have
Speaker 1: lunch with them? That's all the back They're gonna be thought,
Speaker 1: Like if if Lebron comes to Brooklyn right now and
Speaker 1: he has lunch with you, they're gonna be thinking that
Speaker 1: he's going, he's going in. You know what I'm saying. Facts.
Speaker 1: I think the move is though, but the boss move
Speaker 1: is when arts collaborate with players in the agency space
Speaker 1: and you build the agency based upon the guy who's
Speaker 1: respected within the league who now is an agent. You
Speaker 1: bring going their favorite artists or artists that they represent,
Speaker 1: they respect on as management management within the agency, and
Speaker 1: then now you're gonna sign Anthony Davis. She's going to
Speaker 1: sign You're going, yeah, you're gonna sign these guys, and
Speaker 1: you bring the Mornings agency and then now you're able
Speaker 1: to now tap into that world. I mean the first
Speaker 1: guy that did it was master Pe Rickie Williams, all
Speaker 1: pro running back, one of the all time great running
Speaker 1: backs are Springing morn Pete Love, Wicky Willis Love piece music, whatever,
Speaker 1: is in the sports face sports and athletics core side. Bro.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying, like, all athletes love their favorite artists.
Speaker 1: H you know what I'm saying, Their favorite artists love
Speaker 1: their athletes like it's it's it's two. We decided to
Speaker 1: tap into that space and take out the middleman and
Speaker 1: being able to build that type of infrastructure, it's a
Speaker 1: whole different type of game. Now everyone can eat on
Speaker 1: the side of sports because that's that's like an open
Speaker 1: lane for like for everyone. You feel me, it's open lane.
Speaker 1: Brouse and Freeman is the same thing I did about Bocas.
Speaker 1: Hope is a mastermind. Bro. He got hunter percent that
Speaker 1: he did the right thing. Very strategic, very smart, intelligent, smart,
Speaker 1: respect holes so much because he's a businessman. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. He's a business guy focusing on the
Speaker 1: business aspects. He's locked in on what it takes. And
Speaker 1: he's also a classic guy. He's not what he does.
Speaker 1: It's very it's not ranchet. It's a very it's a
Speaker 1: very strategic, organized infrastructure that's respected by entrepreneurs, billionaires, guys
Speaker 1: who's there for you to Stanford, Guys who went to
Speaker 1: Ivley School that respected because it's so organized and structured
Speaker 1: to where they now can relate to that. That's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. That's that started to me, Goldbro, That's that's
Speaker 1: the idea. Man. You think you're gonna open the sports agency.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I'm just right now just learning.
Speaker 1: It's the song so much space, man, Yeah, that's crazy,
Speaker 1: that's crazy. That was the alley. So is there anybody
Speaker 1: who um that that you you you looked up Tom
Speaker 1: Thug and you got to meet him. It was disappointed, disappointed.
Speaker 1: I don't know't know about who I can say I'm
Speaker 1: disappointed about it, but I would say somebody who I
Speaker 1: looked up to that I met that I was happy
Speaker 1: I met was pemp C who embraced me. He held

Speaker 1: only because only because he let you be the player
Speaker 1: that you are. You don't picture hold you. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. If you're a power for he allows
Speaker 1: you to be like the best version of yourself within
Speaker 1: that space. M take full advantage of your opportunity. Right,
Speaker 1: So for me, I was I was a power forward
Speaker 1: and put me a center for like four years in Phoenix.
Speaker 1: I hated it. I got to I know, ship, go ahead,
Speaker 1: but don't kiss you right, because I hate it. I
Speaker 1: used to look at you and say, yeah, he hated
Speaker 1: ye actually grew up a small forward. But then I
Speaker 1: played powerful because my hype when I got to the NBA.
Speaker 1: So then therefore with the Antoni, I went to center.
Speaker 1: And at first I'm like, wait, what You're gonna guard
Speaker 1: Shack guard Dave Robinson, these kinds they got to guard
Speaker 1: you two they got one day. I see the go ahead,
Speaker 1: but for no, not to cut them off, but ref
Speaker 1: that ref he blocked your championship. You know that he
Speaker 1: blocked the ship. He actually he got them rejected and
Speaker 1: they lost the ship. But he was on the road
Speaker 1: to win the chip that Yeah, he was. I seen
Speaker 1: him chilled Tim Duncan, I couldn't it was. It was
Speaker 1: amazing because he he was just faster, so he just
Speaker 1: he was saying as then Tony put him at the
Speaker 1: five when he was used to playing the four. Eventually
Speaker 1: he seemed them. He reaped the benefits because they couldn't
Speaker 1: move it fastest. M he was killing and I fucking
Speaker 1: ref man the refa by the way, right ship. He
Speaker 1: was eating that coming out coming out, he was gambling, Yeah,

Speaker 1: on my FA chip. They couldn't they couldn't do nothing, nobody.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. That's real talk. And injected out of that game.
Speaker 1: And that was definitely what they try off that. I
Speaker 1: thought he was killing ship, that he was rushing its crazy.
Speaker 1: Remember Steve Nash in the back of the bus was
Speaker 1: reading the book. He was like super mad, red like
Speaker 1: like furiating, fear like like just upset. I can't believe
Speaker 1: this because we had a chance when the championship and
Speaker 1: this referree Tim Dunna. He was actually like curbing the
Speaker 1: games for us, and he mentioned inside the book that
Speaker 1: was curbing the games against Sonsburg game the game finish it.
Speaker 1: But that was like the game like that game was
Speaker 1: that game fucked up the chip for Phoenix. That is
Speaker 1: that particular game. That was the game that that that

Speaker 1: been a million years would think that, uh ah, Texas
Speaker 1: will be hit with a pandemic and it's got something
Speaker 1: to do with cold weather. I've always identified Texas with
Speaker 1: the same way I identify Miami, like you know, a
Speaker 1: hot climate, you know a place, so you know. So
Speaker 1: it's crazy that that that that you guys are being
Speaker 1: here with that, so God bless everyone. That a conspiracy
Speaker 1: theorist with that. It's something up with that. But what yeh,
Speaker 1: Texas getting storm just snow and all that. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I don't think it's I don't
Speaker 1: think it's just an active nature. I think something kind
Speaker 1: of ship you never you never heard of? Heart, yeah, heart.
Speaker 1: It seems like tying to black supposedly a weapon, supposedly
Speaker 1: I wanted to be surprised. Man. You'll think about when
Speaker 1: when the when, the when the When the Spaniards came
Speaker 1: to America, they gave the native smallpox everything so that
Speaker 1: so they had blankets that gave to them, like, hey,
Speaker 1: warm yourself up on the blanks with smallpox, but gave
Speaker 1: it him. Hey get yourself a nice cozy night with
Speaker 1: these blankets. But the natives wrap up and then in
Speaker 1: the morning they're dying of like a disease. So I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised you had a guy walk to Baston
Speaker 1: who was like a master wicked scientists who made himself
Speaker 1: black to be in to infortrate communities, like to try
Speaker 1: to take them down, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised on like what can happen in
Speaker 1: today's time, because history showed us that there's happened came
Speaker 1: from them passing on one. Nowadays, man, everything was a conspiracy.
Speaker 1: Later on we find out not it's not so much
Speaker 1: of a conspiracy. It's right, Yeah, that's how I too.
Speaker 1: Were we think outside of the norm, but really we're
Speaker 1: like overthinking it. But then there's areas where we're like
Speaker 1: not thinking it's much about it, and then there's something
Speaker 1: else going on, like what do you find that balancing,
Speaker 1: like what's really happening. That's the difficult one. That's very difficult.
Speaker 1: So what's next for you? What's next for me? In Yeah,
Speaker 1: net's winning the championship. I gotta bring it, gotta bring
Speaker 1: it ship to New York sooner or later. Yeah, listen, bro, Boston,
Speaker 1: don't standing change? Uh you must then look at the roster.
Speaker 1: You must don't have WiFi and man, well, well I
Speaker 1: know you've got money. So all betsies, what's up with
Speaker 1: that coup? Though? Annoyed? Just it's some crazy ship comes you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if thing a bops itself every now and so, it's period,
Speaker 1: it's bleeding, it'sleaning, it's on this period. I see something
Speaker 1: little periods in there. You got little worms in it,
Speaker 1: you know, you know tequila with the worm. He g
Speaker 1: me one of those cups. I'll give you a whole
Speaker 1: box of him for really, That's what I mean. I
Speaker 1: don't know, think them crazy, I don't know. You don't
Speaker 1: know what's next for you? Come on, it's next, man,
Speaker 1: there's so much, there's so much lost. This company. Make
Speaker 1: it like one. We're gonna make it like the New Camus.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have this this these bottles be motherfucking three
Speaker 1: thousand and Carbone, that's what's next. I mean, I mean
Speaker 1: he told him with the accent, was next, and he
Speaker 1: told him come. But yeah, I mean, listen, bro, The
Speaker 1: objective and man is to be to like give the
Speaker 1: next generation that type of that type of idea on
Speaker 1: what they can accomplish, you feel me, like to get
Speaker 1: them to understand like there's a lot more they can
Speaker 1: accomplish if they sharpen up feeling like you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, that's that's that's the idea. I mean
Speaker 1: for me personally, I just rolled with the flow. I wrote,
Speaker 1: whatever happens, whatever comes my way, and you feeling I
Speaker 1: take advantage of the opportunity. But yeah, but but but
Speaker 1: for the next generation, if they watched the ogs before
Speaker 1: them and learn from us and take what we're saying
Speaker 1: on on on dream Champs and b to now apply
Speaker 1: to themselves, and now they can kill themselves up to
Speaker 1: what we are, and then then now they can set
Speaker 1: legacies for their children. Then their children then follow their
Speaker 1: footsteps and then change your community by doing that. Then
Speaker 1: you know, twenty years from now, thirty years from now,
Speaker 1: it's a whole different paradigm shift that we didn't that
Speaker 1: we probably didn't see the effects we made by sacrificing
Speaker 1: on our and to affect them to help them get
Speaker 1: to the level that what they need to get to.
Speaker 1: You feel me. So I can't even say, like, what's
Speaker 1: my next step. My job is to the team to
Speaker 1: push the envelope forward, change the game, and in portrate
Speaker 1: opportunities that we were never really involved in that area.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I'll say I give it
Speaker 1: by two kids from that last year. I'm going to
Speaker 1: Ford Mayweather party. That's the next to me. I raise
Speaker 1: my family, make sure my kids are straight. I got
