1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,200 Speaker 1: I always kind of you kind of had the game 2 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: that I was jealous of, Like I always wanted to 3 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: be get the ball and the fifteen foot face up, 4 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: you know, go to work. I always wanted to get 5 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 1: into that pick and roll. And just I was a 6 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 1: role player, so obviously my scoring was basically depending on 7 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,439 Speaker 1: what the game called for. But I always admired the 8 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: game that you had. You had that game that I 9 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,639 Speaker 1: always wanted to be able to play on a consistent level. 10 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: But just talk about you know what I'm saying your game. 11 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: Is that what you played like in high school? Or 12 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: is that something that you just developed over the years, 13 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: that fifteen foot or that face up, the nice touch 14 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: and all that. Like I'll tell you I know your 15 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,279 Speaker 1: game because I had to guard you. I had, but 16 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: you always had that game. I say, damn if I 17 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 1: was like a guy who got the ball, this is 18 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,639 Speaker 1: how I would like to play. Let's talk about your 19 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 1: game and just soaking into that. Because you came in 20 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: when power forwards was like real power forwards. Like you 21 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: came in the league when they had real power forwards. 22 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: But did you pad in your game after anybody? 23 00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 2: Well? 24 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 3: So man, it's weird. So I I didn't play like 25 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 3: the way I played in the NBA. 26 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 2: You know, I couldn't. I didn't play like that in 27 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 2: high school. Were really in college. 28 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 3: Like in college, I you know, I scored over like 29 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 3: two thousand points and I mean I joke about it, 30 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 3: but I promise you probably like eighteen hundred within eighteen. 31 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 2: Everything was just at the basket. 32 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 3: So it wasn't until I got to the NBA and 33 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 3: I could make plays like seventeen feet and in you know, 34 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,919 Speaker 3: a college three point line and in. But I wasn't 35 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 3: like super athletic. I just had a sneaky long wingspan, 36 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 3: so people underestimated, you know, my wingspan, Like I got 37 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 3: a seven full wingspan. So that was always an age 38 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 3: that people didn't realize until they started playing against me. 39 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 3: So that's how I was able to get my shot 40 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 3: off without having to jump so high and all. That 41 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 3: was because when I got the full extension, I had 42 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 3: usually had a little bit more on on my shot 43 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 3: than most people could get to. So that was one thing. 44 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 3: But then I developed the ability to shoot really in 45 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 3: the NBA. I was getting knocked around my first couple 46 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 3: of years because I was like I came into uh 47 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 3: in the draft I was to twenty six. 48 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 2: Sound right by the way I pushed around worked. 49 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 3: I mean, I worked hard to get that heavy for 50 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 3: the draft because at that time, like you couldn't play 51 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 3: the power forward for the power forward position without being 52 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 3: two forty five to fifty. 53 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 4: Sid know what I'm saying. 54 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 3: So I had to I had to change because I 55 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 3: was getting knocked around trying to knock people over it too. 56 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 3: Twenty two twenty five is not working. So you know, 57 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 3: that summer after my second year, I just started shooting, 58 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 3: like I mean just literally just gotten in the gym 59 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 3: with my man g you know, it was the development guy, 60 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 3: and we just got in the gym and we just 61 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 3: started making shots like literally three hundred some days four hundred, 62 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 3: five hundred, six hundred, seven. 63 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 5: Hundred speaks straight catching shooting the ball until I felt 64 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 5: like I had the type of muscle memory where if 65 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 5: I just let it go, I think it's going in. 66 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 3: So that was something I just had to do, you know. 67 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 3: And then I watched Kenny Gattison gave me some car 68 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 3: Malone videos, and those Carl Malone videos kind of gave 69 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 3: me the context of like how he used to do 70 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 3: it and where he used to shoot the ball from 71 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 3: So I just copied that and I just started shooting 72 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 3: the ball. So be honest with you, it wasn't nothing 73 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 3: but just taking the time out three four, you know, 74 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 3: three four days a week during the summer and just 75 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 3: shoot the ball. 76 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 2: Have somebody willing to rebound and pass to you. But 77 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 2: like that was it. So the other stuff, you know, 78 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: the big shoulder and. 79 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 3: Stuff, that stuff came as I developed, as I got heavier, 80 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 3: Like it wasn't until I mean, like if you look 81 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 3: at my stuff in New Orleans, you know a lot 82 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 3: of this stuff is off the bounce. It's to catch 83 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 3: and shoot. It's the shot fake and go go left 84 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 3: and get back right. And then when I get to Indiana, 85 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, you know, I'm I'm a little heavier now, 86 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 3: so I could use my use the big shoulder and 87 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,839 Speaker 3: moved people around. But like that's that was the way 88 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 3: that my game kind of evolved. Is just a necessity, 89 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 3: Like I had to figure out a way to be successful. 90 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 4: I just remember, I just remember you as a hornets 91 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 4: because one time I was playing in New Orleans, you 92 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 4: threw me in the stanch and so goddamn hard. I 93 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 4: still can't remember what happened. I said, Gosh damn, I'm 94 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 4: still laying on the floor. 95 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 2: Listen. DS. 96 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 1: What they don't understand is when we first came into 97 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: the league, like the powerful position was the most petified 98 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: position in the league. You had Chris Webber one night, 99 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: you had Tim Duncan one night.

You know, it gave us a shot. 175 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 3: You know, again, every year you got one team that wins, 176 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 3: but typically you got three or four championship contending teams. 177 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 3: So I felt like, you know, for those years we 178 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 3: were in Indie, we were one of those teams that 179 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 3: you know, if things break the right way, you know, 180 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 3: we probably have a shot at a title. 181 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: I mean, y'all, y'all are a team who obviously between 182 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: you guys in Boston, but always, oh my god, I 183 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: always knew like whoever would win between us was probably 184 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: gonna in the East like and so I mean that 185 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 1: was no disrespect to Boston, but the physicality that was 186 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: that was what y'all brought. And we always knew, like 187 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: we gotta lace him up. 188 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 4: That's when I that's when I fought first. I Mean, 189 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 4: I knew he wasn't human, but that's when I first 190 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 4: knew Lebron really wasn't human. It was the Indiana series 191 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 4: because he would have to end up guarding every position 192 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 4: on your floor. When Shane would be crippled, he go 193 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 4: guard you. When PG or Danny Granger get going, he 194 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 4: go guard them. Right Like, I was like, this dude's 195 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 4: all over the place, and and that to me in 196 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 4: playoff basketball, to have that luxury was was unbelievable. But 197 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 4: that's what I remember that because we did talk about 198 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 4: it that Shane Battier's story is funny. Batman is my dog, 199 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 4: but you beat his ass. 200 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 2: Oh my, but noah, those. 201 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 3: You know those series, man, it was like, you know, 202 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 3: there were moments where we really thought we were like, man, 203 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 3: we got you guys, like we got him. And then 204 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 3: I remember like the first year, you d I think 205 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 3: this was the Conference Simmis and we're we had we 206 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 3: This is when you guys lost to Boston in the 207 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 3: Eastern Conference finals. But we went up to the one 208 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 3: and it was Spole and d Wade had their little spat. 209 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 2: They were like yelling at each other going to the bench, and. 210 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, we got him, Like I just knew, 211 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 3: like that was the crap in the armor. But then 212 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 3: like that next game, man, it was like they d 213 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 3: Wade and Broun went to a level. And that's where 214 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 3: we all were like, if we're gonna beat these guys 215 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 3: at some point over these next few years, we're gonna 216 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 3: have to do some really, really really crazy stuff because 217 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 3: we all felt that then take it to that level, 218 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 3: like damn, Like we felt that that like Lebron playing 219 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 3: in like that desperation mode, that's the mode that like 220 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 3: we felt he was most dangerous. 221 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 2: This is out there, like he could cook you and 222 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 2: get going. 223 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 3: We're like, okay, he might, but if he feels like 224 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 3: he's really threatened like that, the energy that you gotta 225 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 3: put to stop just the smallest right like when he's 226 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 3: just driving just downhill, downhill, downhill, downhill, downhill. 227 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 2: The ability to break. 228 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 3: Like when we would get to Miami, there would be 229 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 3: a point where we're like, yo, if they start running 230 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,959 Speaker 3: in here, we're done and we ked up and make 231 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 3: a mistake here, mistake there, and boom, next thing. You 232 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 3: know that like eighteen old run lobs and threes and 233 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 3: dunks and and ones. So you know, for us, man, 234 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 3: it was just we tried to find that moment to break. 235 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 3: You know, one of the all time great teams. We 236 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:34,599 Speaker 3: just couldn't. 237 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 4: It's funny you say that, because I'll never forget to 238 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 4: come to Jesus. We had in the hotel room with 239 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 4: the game he's talking about were we were kind of 240 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 4: in shambles a little bit, like there was some mickering 241 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 4: going on, and we had that players only, and those 242 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 4: dudes came out, like you said, desperate though, and it 243 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 4: was a different level of basketball, man, Like it was 244 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 4: watching movie crazy Man, and. 245 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 2: Then numbers were insane that it was like something stupid. 246 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:05,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, one thing we did, and we knew this that 247 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: they could go to a level that nobody else could 248 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: go to, you know what I'm saying. So all we 249 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: had to do is just defend and play hard like 250 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: once they went to that level. And I tell people 251 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: this all the time because I made this conversation the 252 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: other day. I was talking about Jimmy Butler. I was 253 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: talking about how Jimmy is the smartest offensive player I've 254 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: been around. This takes nothing away from Dwayne and d Wade, 255 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: but they just could go to a level that other 256 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: people couldn't go to. Jimmy is very calculated. He has 257 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: to be calculated. He has to. If you have a weakness, 258 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: he has to find it. If you make a mistake, 259 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 1: he has to exploit it. Broun in the way, it 260 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 1: don't matter what your weakness is. They're gonna go to 261 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: the level they're gonna go to, and they're gonna leave 262 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: your ass at the fifth floor while they go to 263 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: the seventh and eighth. So it was nothing that I 264 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,359 Speaker 1: was knocking against d Wade and Braun. It's just that 265 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: that gifted, you know what I'm saying. And Jimmy has 266 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: to be a little more calculated, you know what I'm saying. 267 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: But I'm happy you brought that, you brought that up, 268 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: because they literally can go to a level of it. It 269 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: don't matter what kind of defense you play, no matter 270 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: what your is. 271 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 3: I don't really, I don't really when somebody talks about 272 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 3: you know, talks about bron or talks even though I 273 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 3: just I'm like, yo, if you've never stood across them, 274 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 3: like and when they're in desperation mode. Bro, my brother, 275 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 3: I swear to God, Bro my older brother. Right, he's 276 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 3: very introspective. So he calls me one day. He calls 277 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 3: me one day in the middle of one of those 278 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 3: series right. He calls me, he goes, Yo, how you doing. 279 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 2: I go I'm good. He goes, I gotta ask you this. 280 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 3: He's like, what does it feel like to be standing 281 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 3: out front guarding Lebron James? Because we had this where 282 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 3: like into the shot clock we're gonna switch. So the 283 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 3: game before it was like it happened like two or 284 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 3: three times where I'm just out there on the island, 285 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 3: you know, against him just for trying to force them 286 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 3: two or three. My brother's like, Yo, what does that? 287 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 3: It's like, Yo, what what does that like? I'm like, 288 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 3: I can't even describe it, bro.

Oh yo, 298 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 3: he was athletic focused. You know, we just do just 299 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 3: you know, Savannah the game man. I mean that's all 300 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 3: he is, right, It like somebody just has the physical 301 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 3: tubes but also the that that mental gift to just 302 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 3: if you're here, he can go here and then here. 303 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 4: Here is a dirty little secret that insurance industry may 304 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 4: want to keep under wraps insurance company's profit by holding 305 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 4: onto your money for as long as possible, so after 306 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 4: an accident they might do whatever they can to delay 307 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 4: or deny your claim. This way they can keep those 308 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,479 Speaker 4: profits growing. Morgan and Morgan fights hard against these corporations, 309 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 4: a fight to make sure you get every dollar you 310 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 4: deserve winning court. The insurance companies want juries to think 311 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 4: that at fault driver is the one paying the verdict amount. Meanwhile, 312 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 4: it's really the insurance companies who are covering the cost. 313 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 4: When Morgan and Morgan takes on a case, there are 314 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 4: almost always going after the big insurance companies and not 315 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 4: the individuals at fault. Morgan and Morgan fights hard for 316 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 4: their clients, and these corporations know that a recent client 317 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 4: in Pennsylvania just received twenty nine million. That's twenty nine 318 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 4: million dollars. Insure's best offer was five hundred thousand. Another 319 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 4: recent client in Florida received twenty million dollars last offer zero. 320 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 4: There's a reason why Morgan and Morgan is America's largest 321 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 4: injury firm.
