How cold? 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.120 How I feel Kobe became right, you know what I mean, 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:15.400 I've seen you know, like so Kobe my first three 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:16.760 years he was playing behind Eddie. 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.040 He'd come in and you know, do what he do. 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:19.920 I'm already warm. 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:23.440 I'm grown ass man twenty five six to twenty to 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:26.440 twenty three, right, you know so. But he had a 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:28.760 hell of a crossover. He's fast, and he really had 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:32.800 that killer instinct. Mike was a different animal together to 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:35.800 me right now, I'm not trying to put nobody against 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:38.040 nobody close. Kobe is a close thing to come to Mike, period. 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.840 I think right after Mike as far as that wing play, 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:42.720 you know what I mean, That's what I feel. But 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:47.359 Mike had a different energy to him, and he had levels. 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:52.120 He could turn up two three four levels any reason. 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:54.840 Some people turn up a level of two. He turned 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:58.320 up two three four, right, and it's real. 0:18:58.960 --> 0:18:59.119 You know. 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:01.600 He didn't play with the ball, so he not gonna 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:03.119 cross it between the legs, you know, like the do 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:05.840 today rock drip. About four or five times he's going, 0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:10.600 he looking right at you, and he handling his business quick, intimidating. 0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:12.119 You know what I'm saying. We couldn't even help him 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:14.000 because there was like two dribble, pull up, one dribble, 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:16.720 pull up fake Jeff. It was like, and that's in 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:18.080 back when you have to play one on one d 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:20.480 you know what I'm saying. It was basic. And then listen, 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:22.000 if you're at the top of the King, you buy 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:25.520 yourself and this just think about top of the top 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:28.159 of the three point line to the free throw line. Bro, 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:31.000 we can't help you. So so it was like it 0:19:31.160 --> 0:19:33.000 was like it was like it was that kind of 0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:35.480 bag of work where jayawards he just had to take. 0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:37.080 But then we're going to nothing in and you know 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:40.160 what I'm saying.

In the game, 0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:34.960 my favorite player shot a jump hook on him, and 0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:37.000 I was in all of it, and and I had 0:21:37.040 --> 0:21:38.959 lost it.

You was in a some powerful era. Boy, 0:22:27.800 --> 0:22:34.040 oh man. Obviously early on you had the Barkleys and 0:22:34.080 --> 0:22:39.160 the Malones. Later on it will become you know, it's crazy, y'all. 0:22:39.200 --> 0:22:43.200 I had it. I had issues, but I had to 0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:46.000 actually go in themerom and actually really studied for Chris 0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:49.119 bosh Man, Chris Bosh and z Bo the left handed 0:22:49.200 --> 0:22:52.600 face up and ze Bo's physicality.

And and the first time 0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:00.879 I play him, he literally beat me up for the 0:23:00.960 --> 0:23:04.240 offensive end. The next time I initiated the defense, I 0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:07.280 initiated the contact, had a better outing. And that's when 0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:09.880 he was in Portland and they fed him forty times 0:23:09.960 --> 0:23:11.840 a game, and it was like a spoon feed. You 0:23:11.960 --> 0:23:15.720 understand that it wasn't just either stat It wasn't where 0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:17.280 you remember when bark used to get in and hold 0:23:17.320 --> 0:23:20.160 it for twenty seconds, so z bom Man.

So when I didn't 0:23:42.920 --> 0:23:44.920 get a person that would engage in the gaming ship, 0:23:45.240 --> 0:23:48.600 and now it was just skill on skill man, tim 0:23:48.720 --> 0:23:51.800 Dunky coming back, he may go baseline, fade away, Hi, 0:23:52.320 --> 0:23:55.120 Glass's come back, right hand hook, come back, fake them 0:23:55.560 --> 0:23:58.440 and you go and man, you feel me.

Tramp Man, I'm sitting there thinking about ma 0:25:25.640 --> 0:25:30.359 and Mellow played like Zach Randolph. I'm just listen and 0:25:30.480 --> 0:25:32.760 Mellow they get it. He would roll to the uh, 0:25:33.200 --> 0:25:35.119 to the to the post and then it was a 0:25:35.240 --> 0:25:38.960 wife for the rebound. Mellow was probably the most wild 0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:42.520 last nigga on offense too. Though, sure super wild, no 0:25:42.840 --> 0:25:45.280 no package for the three spot. He was wild. Bro. 0:25:45.359 --> 0:25:47.919 He was like Ruben Patterson, but on the offensive end. Bro, 0:25:48.640 --> 0:25:51.920 y'all know Rube. If y'all know Ruben Patterson, he was. 0:25:51.960 --> 0:25:55.080 He was like the new Jerome Kersey. You hear me, 0:25:55.280 --> 0:25:57.680 they did. They called no place for Ruben Patterson. He 0:25:57.720 --> 0:26:01.440 would end up with fifteen eighteen. You hear me, want 0:26:01.640 --> 0:26:04.960 some work at looking, man? I don't want to look, man, 0:26:05.040 --> 0:26:06.159 I don't want to have to U. 0:26:07.640 --> 0:26:10.280 Benching like three fifties and ship like that. Remember them 0:26:10.320 --> 0:26:11.840 Cincinnati motherfuckers. 0:26:11.920 --> 0:26:14.440 Nanny Forces. You remember the killers that was in the league. 0:26:14.600 --> 0:26:15.840 Remember Danny Forston. 0:26:16.280 --> 0:26:18.119 I tried to take off on Danny Forest and he 0:26:18.200 --> 0:26:22.280 caught me in there, back down on the ground in 0:26:22.440 --> 0:26:23.159 the preseason. 0:26:23.240 --> 0:26:27.560 I kind of gently. Danny Forrest was a real killer boy. 0:26:28.920 --> 0:26:32.720 He was man boy. He was six club afterwards, straight up? 0:26:32.800 --> 0:26:34.920 And why are you doing training? Capt your smoking black 0:26:34.920 --> 0:26:37.920 of Miles. I was like Danny the uh I never 0:26:39.880 --> 0:26:40.119 used to be. 0:26:41.000 --> 0:26:43.600 Was this the first time real killer in the league? 0:26:43.960 --> 0:26:46.320 Just catch humans and put him down? Just caught me, 0:26:46.720 --> 0:26:48.520 put me down, raise his hand fault. 0:26:51.359 --> 0:26:53.199 Tell me what it was like? You no making your 0:26:53.200 --> 0:26:54.800 Hollywood that you want get a chance to work with 0:26:56.160 --> 0:26:57.960 man that bambooze. They told me I was gonna have 0:26:58.080 --> 0:26:59.800 like a little cameo in and so you think you 0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:03.439 gonna show up video self play a part, and uh, 0:27:03.840 --> 0:27:05.639 it was that simple. I had the time to be 0:27:05.720 --> 0:27:07.560 able to do it. And at first I was like, 0:27:07.640 --> 0:27:09.440 let me let me hear the movie first. So I 0:27:09.520 --> 0:27:11.879 had to read the southeas brothers and we all had 0:27:11.920 --> 0:27:15.200 to meet big. They were super nick fans that showed 0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:25.520 up motherfuckers like the next Really, y'all ain't got no 0:27:25.640 --> 0:27:28.439 room to talk right now, right. We kind of did 0:27:28.480 --> 0:27:30.480 that for the first five to ten minutes. But then 0:27:30.520 --> 0:27:33.560 they was real dudes. They was real cool. They was 0:27:33.600 --> 0:27:35.359 embedded in the coach. I had seen a couple of 0:27:35.400 --> 0:27:37.480 their projects. I had been a fan. Didn't know that 0:27:37.600 --> 0:27:41.000 that was them. They did the jay Z video that 0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:42.720 I was a huge fan of. I didn't even know. 0:27:42.800 --> 0:27:45.560 I just started to learn like these new intangibles about it, 0:27:45.640 --> 0:27:47.960 you know. And then they started taking me and walking 0:27:48.000 --> 0:27:51.080 me through this whole scenario of the movie, and it 0:27:51.240 --> 0:27:53.320 was just about me being myself. So just the first 0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:57.159 thing I thought was like, man, can I mess up? 0:27:57.280 --> 0:27:59.680 Like playing yourself, like just think about that, and I 0:27:59.800 --> 0:28:02.080 know you fuck that up. And I know being in 0:28:02.119 --> 0:28:07.600 the jury store Famelion right, who has like no I 0:28:07.640 --> 0:28:09.600 can do? You know I can do I can play myself. 0:28:09.720 --> 0:28:12.520 So that became like okay, you can do this, and 0:28:12.600 --> 0:28:15.119 then a little about little they started like piling stuff 0:28:15.160 --> 0:28:17.200 on like I was in another joint. Then I was 0:28:17.240 --> 0:28:19.400 in another joint. Then I had you know, at first 0:28:19.440 --> 0:28:21.359 I had this much to say, and then it was 0:28:21.440 --> 0:28:23.000 like this much to say. That'st thing. You know, I 0:28:23.040 --> 0:28:24.639 got a that's a credit to you that I saw 0:28:24.720 --> 0:28:26.080 he was good at It's a credit to you. He 0:28:26.200 --> 0:28:31.080 was killing I got in there. Yeah, I know, I 0:28:31.119 --> 0:28:32.679 got a little book right here. I gotta go back 0:28:32.720 --> 0:28:34.240 and forth with Adam. It's got to go like this 0:28:34.359 --> 0:28:36.080 I gotta do. I'm like, what the fuck is this? 0:28:36.160 --> 0:28:38.600 This man? Dope and ship. They was like nah, I 0:28:38.680 --> 0:28:41.360 see how you were saying. And then you've been in 0:28:41.400 --> 0:28:43.640 the jermy store before, like you know, just be yourself. 0:28:43.760 --> 0:28:47.480 So that's why it was so like natural came off natural? 0:28:47.600 --> 0:28:49.600 How was it working with Adam? He's one of my favorites, 0:28:49.640 --> 0:28:52.160 Adam listen man, I got to see Adam in his 0:28:52.800 --> 0:28:56.200 his his greatness, his element. A lot of people don't notice. 0:28:56.240 --> 0:28:58.200 And when you step on the court with Michael Jordan's 0:28:58.560 --> 0:29:00.320 for all us has been here and been there, you 0:29:00.480 --> 0:29:03.760 feel his greatness almost to the point where you like, 0:29:03.880 --> 0:29:07.000 damn it intimidated. When you checking the kicks out start 0:29:07.160 --> 0:29:08.920 see you looking at him? You look and then you 0:29:09.000 --> 0:29:12.800 gotta you know why ain't looking at him? But you 0:29:13.040 --> 0:29:19.960 feel it the arrow. That's how I felt. He was 0:29:20.040 --> 0:29:22.400 so humble, he was so chill, but then again he 0:29:22.480 --> 0:29:26.440 had a when it was an action boom, oh man, 0:29:26.520 --> 0:29:29.520 you just felt it like, oh wow, you caught the 0:29:29.600 --> 0:29:31.240 same mind. You called him looking, and you call it 0:29:31.320 --> 0:29:33.080 looking like nigga, you got lines in this and I'm like, 0:29:33.120 --> 0:29:36.320 oh shit, this is not that and you get caught 0:29:36.360 --> 0:29:38.440 up in it. But I was able to experience that 0:29:38.640 --> 0:29:40.960 right and it was. It was unbelievable. Was an unbelievable 0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:44.240 experience watching someone be great and play something and play 0:29:44.280 --> 0:29:47.480 a role and be a totally different person. It's straight. 0:29:50.520 --> 0:29:53.480 Trash talking is an art, I think probably to me, 0:29:53.840 --> 0:29:55.360 I may have missed some guys, but you and GP 0:29:55.520 --> 0:29:57.480 were the best at it. Where'd that come from? I'm 0:29:57.520 --> 0:30:01.520 in time ten, I'm gonna be top five. 0:30:01.600 --> 0:30:04.520 I always say that the trash talking, you gotta be 0:30:04.560 --> 0:30:06.880 able to back it up, right, So the first thing 0:30:06.920 --> 0:30:11.440 about trash talking is I would I would actually consider 0:30:11.520 --> 0:30:13.240 who was talking to trash and then if they have 0:30:13.320 --> 0:30:15.160 the ability to back it up to whether I was 0:30:15.200 --> 0:30:18.000 gonna actually engage with somebody. But then you got there 0:30:18.040 --> 0:30:19.920 and y'all know this. You got the trash bag nigga 0:30:19.920 --> 0:30:23.600 out here talking up nigga. Then the way you shut 0:30:23.760 --> 0:30:29.400 niggas up and you just ask something, I'm just going. 0:30:29.920 --> 0:30:32.320 It seemed like if the trash talking get to a 0:30:32.360 --> 0:30:34.360 point where I got you not talking no more, that's 0:30:34.400 --> 0:30:36.680 the worst thing you can ever do. And trash talking 0:30:36.760 --> 0:30:38.760 you have to continue. I told you to waste to 0:30:38.800 --> 0:30:41.200 go in trash talk matter what. And if you decide 0:30:41.240 --> 0:30:43.360 to continue to trash talking, keep going. You got to 0:30:43.440 --> 0:30:46.040 keep it up. So the minute I not add you 0:30:46.120 --> 0:30:49.040 out and now now you not no, you exhausted, You 0:30:49.040 --> 0:30:52.000 ain't got no more. Man, get this self this Niggaso's right, 0:30:52.080 --> 0:30:53.960 it's overd I got to step on you, and that's 0:30:54.000 --> 0:30:56.280 how it usually was. But once I start seeing the 0:30:56.360 --> 0:30:59.920 trash talk affect people, it was it was different for me. 0:31:00.200 --> 0:31:02.880 From how I used it was there someone that you loved, 0:31:02.960 --> 0:31:04.600 You knew that motherfucker back it up. 0:31:04.560 --> 0:31:07.320 Eighty was talking to you, believe it or not, y'all 0:31:07.480 --> 0:31:11.600 or Tim Duncan, Tim Duncan, sho Timmy, Tim Duncan. People 0:31:11.640 --> 0:31:15.160 would not see him verbally seeing stuff because he wasn't 0:31:15.200 --> 0:31:21.000 talking sentences. Tim Timmy would hit you in phrases, got 0:31:21.080 --> 0:31:30.440 you almost just the worst right here, nice try like 0:31:30.600 --> 0:31:33.840 subtle ship, no gangs to ship, no real hard course ship, 0:31:34.040 --> 0:31:37.600 just to subtlely to just back your ass up and 0:31:37.720 --> 0:31:40.800 put you back in like this over here, like you know. 0:31:41.280 --> 0:31:45.280 And then what really, really, what really really really pissed 0:31:45.320 --> 0:31:47.680 me off was when the trash tark wasn't affecting him. 0:31:48.360 --> 0:31:50.560 So now you spending all this energy trying to rise 0:31:50.680 --> 0:31:52.320 us up, you know, forgot about your own game. You 0:31:52.360 --> 0:31:55.360 forgot about they coming to you that you're supposed to do. 0:31:55.760 --> 0:31:58.200 And then that's when I actually quit talking trash to 0:31:58.240 --> 0:32:00.280 Timmy because he wouldn't respond or wouln't give me the 0:32:00.320 --> 0:32:03.320 reaction I was. I can't really get hype off. This 0:32:03.360 --> 0:32:05.320 thing ain't even giving me nothing even looking now, you know, 0:32:05.480 --> 0:32:07.200 starting you know, doing a little you know, the shoulder 0:32:07.240 --> 0:32:09.280 ship and he will react to that. Yee. You know, 0:32:09.360 --> 0:32:14.040 Timmy got twenty twenty fifteen. So then I started changing that, 0:32:14.200 --> 0:32:15.680 you know what I'm saying, And then it was natural too. 0:32:15.760 --> 0:32:17.760 Sometimes you just you went to it, you know, you 0:32:17.960 --> 0:32:19.800 dogs meet in the middle of and to be what 0:32:19.920 --> 0:32:22.760 it is. So you know, I didn't understand that. 0:32:22.880 --> 0:32:25.720 Sometimes with Tim, I used to come out of the 0:32:25.720 --> 0:32:27.800 game me Pop just screaming and him cursing him, and 0:32:27.800 --> 0:32:28.640 I'm sitting down there. 0:32:28.960 --> 0:32:31.160 And You're letting this motherfucker talk to you like this, 0:32:31.360 --> 0:32:33.440 you Tim Duncan, and he's saying nothing. 0:32:33.520 --> 0:32:35.240 So when Pop come to me, I gotta be like 0:32:35.840 --> 0:32:37.600 the fucking I say, Tim Duncan taking it. 0:32:38.040 --> 0:32:39.800 I gotta take you gotta take it. But it made 0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:41.640 me a better player, It made me coachable, you know 0:32:41.640 --> 0:32:42.040 what I'm saying. 0:32:42.080 --> 0:32:43.440 But at first, soon as Pop point, man, you better 0:32:43.520 --> 0:32:45.000 get the fuck out of my face, you know what 0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:45.360 I'm saying. 0:32:45.400 --> 0:32:47.240 But I see you going off on Tim, I gotta 0:32:47.280 --> 0:32:50.120 be able to take. I watched Gary Payton controlled Karen 0:32:50.160 --> 0:32:52.680 Payton and Charles Barclay was two of the arguably best 0:32:52.720 --> 0:32:55.960 trash offers I ever experienced. I saw Gary Payton control 0:32:56.040 --> 0:33:00.520 the referees, his coach, my coach, the crowd, the lady 0:33:00.600 --> 0:33:02.440 in the front, the guy who's on the side of 0:33:02.480 --> 0:33:05.360 the Minnesota game, sitting the buck. He was controlling the 0:33:05.560 --> 0:33:10.640 whole game. That's magical. I watched GP back down the 0:33:10.760 --> 0:33:15.320 guard from uh baseline, the baseline, talking the whole time. 0:33:16.160 --> 0:33:19.800 Shut your ass up, throw up, twist, Hey, get his 0:33:19.920 --> 0:33:21.520 ass here here, Hey, come up. 0:33:21.920 --> 0:33:24.120 Hey. You see the hand on the hill calling, if 0:33:24.160 --> 0:33:25.000 you see he just. 0:33:26.600 --> 0:33:30.600 Finally him, I'm like, managing all this talking to me, 0:33:31.080 --> 0:33:32.400 he calling to play. 0:33:32.920 --> 0:33:36.080 He throwing the buck like yo, and still scoring the ball, 0:33:36.320 --> 0:33:39.000 stealing the ball, affected in the in the huddle, he 0:33:39.120 --> 0:33:41.160 in the huddle, he got the thing, he drawing it up. 0:33:42.040 --> 0:33:45.240 I'm like, yo, GP to me was like masterful. Charles 0:33:45.280 --> 0:33:47.840 Barkley was another level of trash talking because he would 0:33:47.880 --> 0:33:51.000 end up fighting you for trying to fight you. But 0:33:51.480 --> 0:33:55.640 he instilled fearing everybody on the court. Gary Payton actually 0:33:55.840 --> 0:33:59.560 used it to get fouls, to get his teammates files, 0:33:59.600 --> 0:34:02.280 to get guys in and out. Like he was just 0:34:02.600 --> 0:34:04.920 he was just a control free you know. And if 0:34:04.920 --> 0:34:06.120 you went to a part of with Gary, he was 0:34:06.160 --> 0:34:06.760 doing the same thing. 0:34:06.840 --> 0:34:09.759 What a dream set y'all a drinking shots over the hill, 0:34:10.000 --> 0:34:11.880 get them out of feet, man with them. 0:34:12.320 --> 0:34:17.279 Right, This is GP. This is just w GP. Yeah, Yeah, 0:34:17.320 --> 0:34:19.279 I saw it, you know, so I guess that would 0:34:19.320 --> 0:34:21.919 kind of be my example of if the yeah GP 0:34:22.120 --> 0:34:23.800 was kind of my example of what I wanted to 0:34:23.920 --> 0:34:26.840 But I give Gary shout the GP man. We was 0:34:26.920 --> 0:34:30.800 in everybody's talking about the twenty anniversary events winning the 0:34:30.880 --> 0:34:33.560 Dunk contest in Oakland. Right, But y'all don't know is 0:34:33.640 --> 0:34:36.719 that Kobe Bryant rest in peace to my dog. He 0:34:36.840 --> 0:34:40.959 took another level of being a defensive standpoint because Gary Payton, 0:34:41.040 --> 0:34:44.520 after practice, after practice, all star practice pulled us to 0:34:44.640 --> 0:34:47.160 the side because Cold dashed him something. They pulled both 0:34:47.160 --> 0:34:48.759 of us to the side, said let me tell y'all something. 0:34:48.920 --> 0:34:50.960 Look when you're playing defense, And then he went through 0:34:51.000 --> 0:34:53.640 a thirty minute joint with both of us on defense 0:34:54.360 --> 0:34:56.880 and keeping us between the land and reaching and how 0:34:56.920 --> 0:34:58.879 to reach and when you reach up and just low 0:34:59.000 --> 0:35:01.200 tricks of the trade. That next time I saw Cold 0:35:01.280 --> 0:35:04.399 after the break he was using came first team that year. 0:35:04.680 --> 0:35:06.480 First time I seen him, I said, he used that ship, GP. 0:35:07.160 --> 0:35:16.919 Saw I caught that ship. But I knew that only 0:35:17.000 --> 0:35:18.600 the three of us was part of that. So I 0:35:18.680 --> 0:35:21.880 was like, you got you saw I was gonna call 0:35:21.920 --> 0:35:24.520 a fight and caught that ship. Wow, Because GP taught 0:35:24.600 --> 0:35:26.600 us when you rip somebody to go through that chests 0:35:27.080 --> 0:35:29.799 versus usually your hand. You see this right, He told 0:35:29.840 --> 0:35:31.399 us to take a step and come through your chest 0:35:31.480 --> 0:35:33.160 and come and then round out. There's no way you 0:35:33.239 --> 0:35:35.439 can protect the ball. You can't cross it back once 0:35:35.480 --> 0:35:37.239 you get it. Once I'm in your cab, you can't 0:35:37.239 --> 0:35:39.000 cross it up. You even't have to turn your back. 0:35:39.200 --> 0:35:41.799 Oh man, I saw cold take that first night after 0:35:41.880 --> 0:35:44.040 the break. I saw it. You know, we want no 0:35:44.160 --> 0:35:45.759 text or none of that back then. But when I 0:35:45.840 --> 0:35:48.040 first saw my shot, stayed it right here. When I 0:35:48.120 --> 0:35:50.000 saw him, he knew exactly what I was talking about. 0:35:50.480 --> 0:35:55.680 After GP for that, you know, we heard rumors. 0:35:55.680 --> 0:35:57.799 I don't know if you even even heard the ship, 0:35:57.880 --> 0:35:59.960 but we it was word that we were going out 0:36:00.120 --> 0:36:03.360 for you for a whole package, and you were supposed 0:36:03.360 --> 0:36:06.960 to come complete us as our centerpiece to our crazy 0:36:07.520 --> 0:36:08.120 Did you hear that? 0:36:08.320 --> 0:36:14.200 Yeah?

We spoke on 0:36:16.680 --> 0:36:19.040 this all the time heard it, like when we heard 0:36:19.080 --> 0:36:20.360 on the team was. 0:36:20.400 --> 0:36:23.880 Tripping, sending anybody there KG, sitting the whole team to 0:36:23.960 --> 0:36:26.960 coach anybody we need KG listen. 0:36:27.040 --> 0:36:28.640 I never know you knew about it. I looked at 0:36:28.680 --> 0:36:30.359 it like this. I was like, man, I got one 0:36:30.480 --> 0:36:35.000 chance at this, right I had I had Uh, I 0:36:35.080 --> 0:36:39.360 had Oakland, I had Phoenix, I had the Lakers, and 0:36:39.480 --> 0:36:43.200 I had the Celtics, and uh, I'm just being honest 0:36:43.239 --> 0:36:46.560 with everybody. I wanted link with Cold because Cobe and 0:36:46.640 --> 0:36:49.080 I had like a listen to me, COVID and I 0:36:49.200 --> 0:36:52.680 had like a different, a different connect Like when Covid 0:36:52.760 --> 0:36:55.520 Shaq went went went on their little thing.

One of 0:37:01.080 --> 0:37:03.080 the very few that just stayed with him. And just see, 0:37:03.120 --> 0:37:05.799 I was a neutral guy anyway. I show everybody love 0:37:05.920 --> 0:37:11.000 you Cold love dog, but Cold respect dogs like like 0:37:11.800 --> 0:37:14.920 like real like real cats. Start. If you ever notice, 0:37:14.920 --> 0:37:17.279 he never really got into it with somebody that he 0:37:17.400 --> 0:37:20.120 really respected, you know what I'm saying. Like I watched 0:37:20.160 --> 0:37:22.279 when you and him went out and you threw the ball, 0:37:22.360 --> 0:37:24.680 he flinched. It was a form of respect there that 0:37:24.800 --> 0:37:28.000 he was they was talking, Nobody noticed what they was talking. 0:37:28.120 --> 0:37:30.160 Same thingous like thy god, wish it with him with 0:37:30.200 --> 0:37:31.960 this ball, you got more respect than me than that. 0:37:32.400 --> 0:37:34.200 So him and Matt was I already knew that, But 0:37:34.480 --> 0:37:37.600 players know this, and then you already know who I'm 0:37:37.840 --> 0:37:39.480 If we get into it and we get to tech, 0:37:39.600 --> 0:37:42.840 it's verbal, we bumping, we bumping. I'm already knowing what 0:37:42.960 --> 0:37:46.319 he's saying to me without even talking. So that's how 0:37:46.480 --> 0:37:49.759 we used to real shit, like not even thinking. That's 0:37:49.800 --> 0:37:52.480 how players actually was talking to dealing with each other. 0:37:52.920 --> 0:37:54.600 So whenever I would watch him get into it with 0:37:54.719 --> 0:37:57.000 somebody and he actually would get into it, it was 0:37:57.080 --> 0:37:59.560 either because he didn't respect them and it went like that, 0:37:59.760 --> 0:38:02.040 or respect him and then win a whole other way. Yeah, 0:38:02.200 --> 0:38:02.680 people don't know. 0:38:02.719 --> 0:38:04.680 That's how Like when we got into it in twenty ten, 0:38:04.800 --> 0:38:06.600 the Ball faked ship like he was the first person 0:38:06.640 --> 0:38:08.600 to call me free agency, like, yo, you want to 0:38:08.600 --> 0:38:09.120 come be your laker? 0:38:09.160 --> 0:38:10.360 Anyone crazy enough to fuck with me? 0:38:10.400 --> 0:38:12.000 It's crazy, And he went and got round the year 0:38:12.040 --> 0:38:14.200 before when Ronins and Houston, He's like, I'm tired of 0:38:14.239 --> 0:38:15.480 wrestling with you crazy motherfuckers. 0:38:15.520 --> 0:38:19.200 Come fuck with me.

So I was like shit, Danny 0:40:16.560 --> 0:40:18.400 Ainge flew in and he just got right to it 0:40:18.480 --> 0:40:22.479 and showed the vision and the vision he was saying. 0:40:22.600 --> 0:40:25.080 You ever have somebody talk to you and as they 0:40:25.200 --> 0:40:27.560 talk to you, you can see what they're saying so 0:40:27.680 --> 0:40:30.160 much that you're not even looking at them no more, 0:40:30.239 --> 0:40:32.840 but you see it. That's how he was painting, and 0:40:32.920 --> 0:40:36.239 he was ra Picasso. And this is Danny Inge's greatness 0:40:36.320 --> 0:40:38.719 in him being able to lure you in his charming ass. 0:40:39.320 --> 0:40:40.759 You know what I'm saying. I didn't even know he 0:40:40.880 --> 0:40:42.920 was finessing me and we was doing that, you know 0:40:42.960 --> 0:40:46.480 what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying, sauted like 0:40:46.520 --> 0:40:49.200 a mom from right. But then what I did know 0:40:50.200 --> 0:40:52.839 I had watched him a couple of times and when 0:40:52.880 --> 0:40:56.239 I first saw film of Rondo in Massive Square Guard, 0:40:56.320 --> 0:40:58.919 he got the crazy clip of he scored the ball. 0:40:58.960 --> 0:41:00.800 I think he stole it and didn't get an N 0:41:00.920 --> 0:41:02.719 one and something. So I saw that, but I thought 0:41:03.080 --> 0:41:05.759 his name my A D d As thought he was 0:41:05.800 --> 0:41:08.719 African and some ship. So I was like, yeah, what's 0:41:08.800 --> 0:41:15.680 up with the little African guards. You're talking about Sebastian. Yeah, 0:41:15.719 --> 0:41:18.200 I know Sebastian.

Like yeah, Rondo, 0:41:34.120 --> 0:41:36.399 you gotta keep you gotta keep the African kid. 0:41:36.520 --> 0:41:36.640 You know. 0:41:37.880 --> 0:41:39.480 I come to the boss, you gotta keep the African 0:41:39.560 --> 0:41:41.160 kid because he was in the package. I was like, 0:41:41.880 --> 0:41:44.879 he's like, I think he's gonna no, we can't do it. Then, 0:41:45.360 --> 0:41:48.520 and then I actually called Steve Nash just to the courtesy, 0:41:49.600 --> 0:41:54.600 and I guess the call he kit me back was like, yo, 0:41:54.760 --> 0:41:58.120 if you come down here, we need you to take 0:41:58.200 --> 0:42:02.239 a major pay cut.
