121
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:12,640

00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 2: I'll tell I could think of it.

125
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: I could think of a time in twenty thirteen in

126
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: a restaurant. Yeah, I was pretty upset first what happened?

127
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: You just weren't here a couple of years after that,

128
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: you know. But you know what, but we always looked

129
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: at a different Dwight because we always appreciated what you did,

130
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: and not just on the floor, but the time you

131
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: took for the autographs, the time you took, the impact

132
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: you have and still have here in Central Florida. That

133
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: was shoot, that was big to you, and I think

134
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: that was that comes to mind as well. So I

135
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: would it could have should have. I know, you know,

136
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: you go back to that time. But what advice would

137
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five Dwight give to twenty twelve Dwight After

138
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: all the life that's happened in between right.

139
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 4: Oh, what would I say myself?

140
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 5: Stay you it.

141
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: Sutter down, yes, because that's exactly what I would have said.

142
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 4: But you know, I.

143
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 3: Experience is the best teacher in life. Experience is the

144
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 3: best teacher. And sometimes I said this earlier. And I'm

145
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: only going to tell you guys part of this. Sometimes

146
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 3: God like to play baseball. I used to play baseball

147
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 3: with you.

148
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 5: So that's the only part you're gonna tell me.

149
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, so only part you go.

150
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 5: Get that from my own I mean, I understand, I

151
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 5: kind of get where you're you're getting at. Listen, everybody's

152
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 5: road is different and sometimes straight, and it's gonna happen.

153
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 3: Well, no, no, that's not what it is. Because the

154
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 3: road is straight and narrow. That's the only way to

155
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 3: get to Jesus Matthew seven fourteen. But in baseball, I'll

156
00:07:55,320 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 3: explain later. I'm talking to everyone. Okay, oh a very nice,

157
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: very nice.

158
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 4: But I will say I missed this place so much.

159
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 3: And you know, when you're young, you can't really this

160
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 3: game that we play, such a high energy game and

161
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 3: life itself, it's a high vibe life. It's moving so fast,

162
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 3: you know, and when you're at the top or you're

163
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 3: considered a superstar all star. Life is coming at you

164
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 3: so fast. Everything is you gotta make quick decisions. You

165
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 3: gotta do this. Sometimes you make decisions off emotions, and

166
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 3: you make irrational decisions, and you can't go back after

167
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 3: you make decisions. And a lot of times as players,

168
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 3: we just want fires to get put out. We want

169
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 3: things to happen fast, right away, right then, in a hurry,

170
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 3: because this is how our life has to be. We

171
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 3: have to make decisions on the court fast. We gotta

172
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 3: move fast. So now we taking this same attitude off

173
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 3: the court. If it don't work, get it out. If

174
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 3: this don't go this way, it's quick as never hold

175
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 3: up because in the game you can't do that. You

176
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 3: can't sit back in the game, and you get twenty

177
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 3: four seconds in life, you get to you you're not

178
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 3: lifing no more.

179
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 4: So it's a totally different thing. My life is going

180
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 4: so fast. Then.

181
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 3: I'm a young eighteen year old man. I left at

182
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 3: what twenty sixty six, that's still.

183
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 5: Young, of course, right now thirty seven right now me too.

184
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 3: So yeah, like I'm a little jit and life is

185
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 3: coming so fast at me. I'm just like, who do

186
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 3: I talk to shit. I just gotta do this myself.

187
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 3: I don't know so looking back, that's a part of

188
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 3: growing up.

189
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 4: But unfortunately I grew up in front of millions of

190
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 4: millions of people.

191
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 3: They can see all of my mistakes, all the good

192
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 3: things that I'm doing, the bad things and there now

193
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 3: they could pass judgments, they can say whatever because of

194
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 3: what they're seeing, but they're not understanding that it takes

195
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 3: a level of growth. Money and fame and fortune do

196
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 3: not come with maturity.

197
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 4: Just does it.

198
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 3: I know that, yes, sure you don't. Can't have it

199
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 3: when you're coming in. It takes a process. So a

200
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 3: lot of times we don't give ourselves time to grow,

201
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 3: and the world doesn't either. The world is, hey, you

202
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 3: got money, you got this, you should know this.

203
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 4: How the hell I wanna know this?

204
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 3: At eighteen Yeah, I don't even know how to start

205
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 3: a bank account. When I got to the NBA, I'm

206
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 3: gonna know how to handle a franchise, you know what

207
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 3: I'm saying. So I'm just thankful that after playing for

208
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 3: eighteen nineteen years, I still have my mind still mentally strong,

209
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 3: and still have my body intact. So I'm very grateful

210
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 3: about that. So I have my children, which are getting

211
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 3: so much big and that's amazing.

212
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: So what do I took that smile all the way
