But the OKI team was 99 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: probably I mean, I mean that Celtic team. Let's get 100 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: let's get to the real talk about this debate around 101 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: here and that we're just gonna keep it real. We 102 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: got a team that's legendre we got we got this. 103 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: It's Greg Josh McRoberts, the kan Cooked, Eric Gordon, Mike Conlin. 104 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 1: They said that team could beat your Celtics team. I 105 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: don't think so, damn, Because I'm gonna tell you why 106 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: you said Greg Olden right, who was the four brothers? 107 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: He won to smoke with you anyway, but I wouldn't 108 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: afford though three.

I think 111 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: before gregt who like, think about it, think about the 112 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: White's crazy.

I'm not 168 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: saying like as far as like he probably would have 169 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: outscored him, because that's that wasn't his that wasn't his job. 170 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, y'all had too much going on. 171 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: But that's what I'm saying. This is these niggas said 172 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: vores creating, Oh yeah, creating then I'm sorry, I would 173 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: get your name right. He was nasty. He was six 174 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: four six five. Yeah, I played against the guard b 175 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 1: they was deep. Did rind him every round with y'all? No, No, 176 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: we never have been cheating. It was we got Brandon 177 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: Rush for a couple. They was hating on this. You 178 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: can't have him played with but he was so sted 179 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: about that one. But yeah, that was good because I 180 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: didn't know. I didn't even know Mike Mercer played with y'all. 181 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: I thought he always just played with the Georgia Stars 182 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: with Lou Yeah, I got him, got him like the 183 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: last year he was. He was younger than that, so 184 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: that helped him out. Though they helped him out big, 185 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: though they put him on a different stage. I think 186 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 1: he went he went to Georgia, Yep, he did. Yeah, 187 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: but that's he's a good he's a good dude though. 188 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: I still talk. Shout to Mike. He went to the US. 189 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: It's hard, yeah, man, I don't know, man, AJ would 190 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: have been tough to close game though. It would have 191 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: been a close game. Eric's going. I think we were 192 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: probably different. It was. I think we would probably probably 193 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: would have goten because you and the White It was 194 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: like we was more defensive oriented too though, So just 195 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: to see how y'all played defense in the league, I can't.

But Okaill facts the middle 384 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: of the middle of nowhere. Probably the the mall we 385 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: used to get dressed up for. It was Winston sailing 386 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 1: down there to wait for it. Our best girl on 387 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: Dog and go down there and dog.

I've been troughing 397 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: the air stuff. And one of my younger kids play 398 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: football too, at a high level.

But it's like 402 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: you can get super distracted too, you know what I'm saying. 403 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: I can see where it could be a distraction. So 404 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: I'm like, man, oh, kid, Like, if you really want 405 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: to lock in and and really like you know what 406 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,239 Speaker 1: I'm saying, I'm telling you, and you want to get 407 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: your kids to like a mature level state of mind, 408 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: that that's that's a really good school, especially now that 409 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.

But yeah, 816 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,160 Speaker 1: that was it. That was that was it. That was 817 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,439 Speaker 1: one of them. But he was the one who kind 818 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,920 Speaker 1: of changed the game of basketball too.

They 1004 00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:59,080 Speaker 1: gave me the idea of the jersey which which which 1005 00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:02,640 Speaker 1: was a trendsetter. Kind of sick trying for for like 1006 00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:04,960 Speaker 1: years to come with people appearing how much to jersey 1007 00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:14,040 Speaker 1: people putting jerseys on taking dunks. But I made those dunks, 1008 00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:18,640 Speaker 1: thank god. Went Foe for Fold, a couple of guys 1009 00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:20,800 Speaker 1: that they had some really good dunks, they just couldn't 1010 00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,080 Speaker 1: fit it. Like Joe Smith had a really that's when 1011 00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:24,840 Speaker 1: he went behind the back of that was like a 1012 00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:27,239 Speaker 1: new dunk for the dunk contest. So he went and 1013 00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:29,080 Speaker 1: like so, but he didn't complete it like the first 1014 00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:30,680 Speaker 1: couple of times. So that kind of that kind of 1015 00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:33,520 Speaker 1: gave me. They gave me some room when I went 1016 00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:36,440 Speaker 1: so I just I was just a complete dunker with 1017 00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:39,440 Speaker 1: all my dunks. I flushed them all we won, and 1018 00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,759 Speaker 1: you know, I had had fun with some of some 1019 00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,279 Speaker 1: of my childhood childhood friends after that. It's hard, so 1020 00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,400 Speaker 1: I put you on the spot. Obviously you want a contest, Yeah, 1021 00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:52,399 Speaker 1: who a better dunker between exactly being Vince Carter Vince 1022 00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:54,799 Speaker 1: Carter for sure, not gonna Vince that easy. I'm gonna 1023 00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,640 Speaker 1: go with Vince because Zach is a one. He's a 1024 00:54:57,760 --> 00:54:59,520 Speaker 1: he only do for stuff on the free throw line. 1025 00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:02,480 Speaker 1: He like him and James White of the same dunkers. 1026 00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:09,120 Speaker 1: Damn great comparison James. As far as crazy flight, yes, 1027 00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:14,239 Speaker 1: but Vince Carter changed the game, man factual. He had 1028 00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:18,600 Speaker 1: the best dunk contest of all time. Ever, it's better 1029 00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:24,480 Speaker 1: than that. It's better than that first Airs act Lavin. Yeah. 1030 00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:28,600 Speaker 1: But the reason why it is because they gave it 1031 00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,560 Speaker 1: to the wrong person. They should have gave it to God. 1032 00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:35,880 Speaker 1: That was bullshit. He got cheated, like so like, yeah, 1033 00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:39,759 Speaker 1: like come on, that was it? Come on, bro, you 1034 00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,880 Speaker 1: want to know what? Yeah, like, they gave it to 1035 00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:45,440 Speaker 1: the wrong person. It was crazy. I can't believe he 1036 00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:47,560 Speaker 1: didn't win. He won that for show. I give him 1037 00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:50,279 Speaker 1: that every time. I'm like when he went, man, that 1038 00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:52,399 Speaker 1: was crazy. You know what I'm saying, Now, you don't 1039 00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:53,759 Speaker 1: say you got that out of the way. I don't know. 1040 00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:55,680 Speaker 1: That's still tough for me because exact Lavin shp like 1041 00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:57,440 Speaker 1: I under stay that one, like, but something shit was 1042 00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,000 Speaker 1: like damn Like, I think Vince obviously got the best dunk. 1043 00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,200 Speaker 1: Never the game dunk is never gonna be touched.

It's a different time though, 1605 01:25:56,200 --> 01:25:57,920 Speaker 1: as long as you as long as you not, I 1606 01:25:58,040 --> 01:26:00,080 Speaker 1: might think you understand it is And I see it 1607 01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:03,240 Speaker 1: and I see it though like I see it, I 1608 01:26:03,280 --> 01:26:09,120 Speaker 1: see like shout out the to the head coach with Cleveland, 1609 01:26:09,240 --> 01:26:14,679 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like he's jb Iss, he's 1610 01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:16,280 Speaker 1: one of the one of the great ones in his 1611 01:26:16,400 --> 01:26:18,920 Speaker 1: in this game and I'm kind of mentoring him a 1612 01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:20,840 Speaker 1: little bit. And I've been going to Cleveland games. I've 1613 01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:23,360 Speaker 1: been going up to the Cleveland for like the past 1614 01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:27,640 Speaker 1: couple of years. Okay, and coach move you know, you know, 1615 01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:30,519 Speaker 1: you know, manifesting it, you know, talk about it. But 1616 01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:33,720 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I'm seeing how he 1617 01:26:33,840 --> 01:26:37,360 Speaker 1: how he's talking to his his players, and how he 1618 01:26:37,360 --> 01:26:39,559 Speaker 1: gets them to relate, and how he gets the best 1619 01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:41,680 Speaker 1: out of him because i mean, you know, when I 1620 01:26:41,680 --> 01:26:44,680 Speaker 1: was in Houston, my favorite coach in the NBA was 1621 01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:48,840 Speaker 1: Kevin mckill. Oh you know, yeah, for sure, hands down, 1622 01:26:49,240 --> 01:26:51,160 Speaker 1: he wasn't That's when I made it to the Western 1623 01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:54,600 Speaker 1: Conference with him. West Conference Finals. Oh we got we 1624 01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:57,160 Speaker 1: gotta talk about that. Yeah, one of the craziest basketball 1625 01:26:57,200 --> 01:26:59,439 Speaker 1: series of all time. Yeah, for sure, we can get 1626 01:26:59,520 --> 01:27:03,720 Speaker 1: to it. But shout the coach. He was always assistant 1627 01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:07,720 Speaker 1: under Kevin mckill. So he was like he was a 1628 01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:10,960 Speaker 1: JB's more excess and those. But Kevin mckill was like 1629 01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:14,439 Speaker 1: super relatable to his to his players, he wasn't really 1630 01:27:14,439 --> 01:27:16,479 Speaker 1: excell and those. He was a players coach, okay, but 1631 01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:19,720 Speaker 1: so he would get the best out of you and 1632 01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:22,280 Speaker 1: and the JB. I guess took some of that lot 1633 01:27:22,400 --> 01:27:25,599 Speaker 1: knowledge with him and then mixed his his his excess 1634 01:27:25,640 --> 01:27:28,080 Speaker 1: and those with it. And he's a coach year today. 1635 01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:31,040 Speaker 1: But I'm watching him how he relation talks to this team. 1636 01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:33,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, but it's it's kind of like I'm like, damn, 1637 01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:37,559 Speaker 1: it's it's crazy. Like you said, it's it's it's it's different, 1638 01:27:37,680 --> 01:27:40,519 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But it's different because you 1639 01:27:40,560 --> 01:27:42,880 Speaker 1: don't have a veteran on the team to help help 1640 01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:45,200 Speaker 1: their young kid understand why the kid why the coach 1641 01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:47,800 Speaker 1: is talking to him like that, you know what I'm saying. 1642 01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:52,840 Speaker 1: Like my experience is working in the league. Man, you 1643 01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:54,640 Speaker 1: get on some of these guys, you might not have 1644 01:27:54,680 --> 01:27:58,280 Speaker 1: a job in the morning, being real, Like, you get 1645 01:27:58,280 --> 01:28:00,560 Speaker 1: on some of them guys who the star players you like, 1646 01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:05,200 Speaker 1: bad side the ownership, they're going with the player every 1647 01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:08,240 Speaker 1: team place. So I understand why it's kind of sensitive 1648 01:28:08,280 --> 01:28:11,320 Speaker 1: and damn damn, that's crazy. I mean, like you said, 1649 01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:14,000 Speaker 1: coaching matters and not even more or less X and os, 1650 01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:15,760 Speaker 1: But how you manage me because like in this league 1651 01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:17,800 Speaker 1: you've grown, ask me and most of these players on 1652 01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:20,320 Speaker 1: the bench make way more money than the coach. It's 1653 01:28:20,360 --> 01:28:21,960 Speaker 1: like you need to get the best out of these 1654 01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:24,720 Speaker 1: players by relating and talking not talking down. And you 1655 01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:27,000 Speaker 1: see it like the transition to the NBA with coaches now, 1656 01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:28,960 Speaker 1: like some of them older coaches, like the George Cross 1657 01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:31,519 Speaker 1: some situations that shit not fly on no more like 1658 01:28:31,600 --> 01:28:33,960 Speaker 1: it didn't even George carl though. I mean, but I 1659 01:28:34,240 --> 01:28:42,479 Speaker 1: mean just like the same time tis I'm saying, like, 1660 01:28:44,439 --> 01:28:49,200 Speaker 1: but he don't. But it's like it's like, like you said, 1661 01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:53,240 Speaker 1: you gotta relate though, yeah, you can't be like you 1662 01:28:53,280 --> 01:28:56,360 Speaker 1: can't be socially awkward with this with this new generation. Dog, 1663 01:28:56,439 --> 01:28:59,280 Speaker 1: you gotta be able to pop pop your ship with them. Dog, 1664 01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:03,080 Speaker 1: you got to broy they they're looking at it. He 1665 01:29:03,120 --> 01:29:05,280 Speaker 1: would have loved it. No, you know why you would 1666 01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:07,280 Speaker 1: have loved him. He wasn't gonna take your ass out. 1667 01:29:07,439 --> 01:29:11,400 Speaker 1: And you know he's playing forty. You're playing for As 1668 01:29:11,439 --> 01:29:13,679 Speaker 1: a player, when you in the game, you really don't 1669 01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:15,800 Speaker 1: want to come out, like you don't want to come 1670 01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:18,120 Speaker 1: out to that next morning, Like damn, I played forty. 1671 01:29:19,160 --> 01:29:20,720 Speaker 1: But as a player, when you in the game, like 1672 01:29:21,200 --> 01:29:25,799 Speaker 1: to get all my stats. Team, but I'm talking about 1673 01:29:25,840 --> 01:29:28,200 Speaker 1: I'm just talking about relatable though, as far as being 1674 01:29:28,240 --> 01:29:31,080 Speaker 1: relatable to these kids that they you can tell he getting. 1675 01:29:31,240 --> 01:29:34,439 Speaker 1: He coaching a whole bunch of sensitive players though, because 1676 01:29:34,840 --> 01:29:37,040 Speaker 1: it's like they want to they go on the wooden Street. 1677 01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:40,639 Speaker 1: Then they'll lose games. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, 1678 01:29:41,040 --> 01:29:45,120 Speaker 1: that shit matter. But look, he's not relatable to Relationships 1679 01:29:45,160 --> 01:29:48,439 Speaker 1: are key. I always talk about that ship like your 1680 01:29:48,479 --> 01:29:51,080 Speaker 1: locker room. Say everything about how y'all gonna play on 1681 01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:54,679 Speaker 1: the court don't matter, bro. So if your coach ain't 1682 01:29:54,720 --> 01:29:57,800 Speaker 1: really rocking, and it goes from the coach, that's why 1683 01:29:57,840 --> 01:30:01,479 Speaker 1: I'll be telling my pop to go to me. Because 1684 01:30:01,520 --> 01:30:05,080 Speaker 1: he got Tim Duncan. He was on Tim duncan ass 1685 01:30:05,160 --> 01:30:07,599 Speaker 1: so much.

They can 2051 01:51:08,520 --> 01:51:11,120 Speaker 1: offer him five years up to two sixty. He's not 2052 01:51:11,240 --> 01:51:13,320 Speaker 1: getting that. I'm not saying you, but think about it. 2053 01:51:13,360 --> 01:51:15,160 Speaker 1: You can go in the free agency to get five 2054 01:51:15,240 --> 01:51:21,080 Speaker 1: years one seventy. Yeah, but listen though, right, okay, fourteen, Okay, 2055 01:51:21,120 --> 01:51:23,599 Speaker 1: that's a good question. Right, that's that's good. That's good. 2056 01:51:23,920 --> 01:51:26,920 Speaker 1: But I want to know what the percentages are when 2057 01:51:27,080 --> 01:51:31,280 Speaker 1: people turn their ship down and get spy and the 2058 01:51:31,360 --> 01:51:34,400 Speaker 1: ship gets spooky for him, or they turn it down 2059 01:51:34,439 --> 01:51:36,479 Speaker 1: and it works in their favor. I don't want to 2060 01:51:36,479 --> 01:51:39,519 Speaker 1: know what the percentages are. Like with with John Collins, 2061 01:51:39,520 --> 01:51:42,280 Speaker 1: we turned that ninety down, but they went to the 2062 01:51:42,280 --> 01:51:45,080 Speaker 1: Eastern Conference finals, that's what That's how he was able 2063 01:51:45,120 --> 01:51:49,599 Speaker 1: to get that one twenty. So oh yeah, but Portland. 2064 01:51:49,680 --> 01:51:52,120 Speaker 1: Portland is not a Portland. I need.
